Peaceful Retreat
In this master bath, a deep, freestanding tub overlooks the grassy dunes, making it a serene escape.
Idea Spotlight
Pretty tile work on the floor adds a graphic element to the space and is reminiscent of a rug.
Photo: Melanie Acevedo; Stylist: Erin Swift
Totally Floored
A gorgeous tile floor in a spectrum of ocean-going blues and greens takes center stage in this Long Island master bath.
Idea Spotlight
Simple shades in a neutral color give the space a spa-like feel.
Photo: Jonny Valiant
Soothing Space
The floor and walls in this Fire Island bath are clad in Carrara marble tile by Ann Sacks to resist trapped moisture and tracked-in beach sand. The cool, monochromatic color scheme gives the room a soothing, spa-like feel.
Idea Spotlight
For a touch of whimsy, the homeowner converted a 1960s chrome dental cabinet into a stylish perch for towels and toiletries. The sink is by American Standard.
Photo: John Ellis; Stylist: Sunday Hendrickson
Earthy and Modern
This Malibu master bath got an ultramodern update grounded in clean rectangular lines that are repeated in a trio of casement windows and the translucent shower stall. Blue-green Esmeralda onyx shower walls and semicircular sconces dial up the drama by highlighting the home's 1960s pedigree.
Idea Spotlight
Give your bath a touch of glam by hanging a chandelier, like this Gianni Seguso one.
Photo: Rick Lew; Stylist: Loren Simons
Water Everywhere
Beachy blue, glazed subway tile (from Waterworks) is the main event in this Rehoboth Beach, Delaware bath. A smart cutout and bench add a practical slant to the pretty shower.
Idea Spotlight
The homeowners found a mirror with a similar finish to the Restoration Hardware vanity for a cohesive look.
Photo: John Ellis; Stylist: Sunday Hendrickson
Rustic Elegance
Soft white walls and a warm wood floor give this Western Washington master bath an upscale lodge feel. The Cheviot Products soaking tub casts a minimalist but striking silhouette.
Idea Spotlight
Nautical illustrations that flank the window give a coastal feel to the space, as does the collection of starfish beneath the vanity.
Photo: Rick Lew; Stylist: Matthew Gleason
Lively Bath
Blue and green accents liven up this pretty white bath. The room appears loftier thanks to the vertical boards and painted ceiling.
Idea Spotlight
Don't be afraid of pattern. The Osborne & Little fabric valance adds visual appeal and mimics the colors in the floor tiles.
Photographer: Tria Giovan, Stylist: Elizabeth Beeler
Luxurious Escape
The freestanding tub splits our Daniel Island Showhouse master bath in half—with a vanity on each side—to ensure there's plenty of room for cohabitating morning routines.
Idea Spotlight
The soft blue shade (Sherwin-Williams's Mineral Deposit) on the vanities is a great fit for both feminine and masculine sensibilities.
Photo: Tria Giovan
Savvy Sanctuary
In the guest bath of the Rosemary Beach Ultimate Beach House, an oval mirror is suspended in front of the window so as not to sacrifice the natural light for function.
Idea Spotlight
The overhead rain-style showerhead and handheld sprayer are all controlled digitally, so guests don't have to fumble with unfamiliar fixtures.

Island Style
The shutter-inspired, slatted detail on the tub surround of our East Beach Ultimate Beach House lends a touch of island style.
Idea Spotlight
Made from square tiles in different sizes and colors, the bath's mosaic floor is a fresh update on a classic checkerboard pattern.

Sink In
Create the ultimate picture of relaxation by positioning the tub for water views. Opaque roman shades can provide privacy when necessary but still allow light to filter through.
Idea Spotlight
When using wood in moisture-prone areas like the bath, opt for teak. One of the densest woods available, it won't warp or rot from excessive moisture.
Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn
Asian Oasis
A sunken Japanese soaking tub looks supremely serene. Creamy stone on the floors and walls, and a simple wood vanity topped with a glass-bowl sink contribute to the spa-like setting.
Idea Spotlight
Filter light without sacrificing privacy by installing a wall, window, or roof of Lucite or frosted glass.
Colleen Duffley
Material Wealth
Using a variety of materials makes a monochromatic room more interesting. Combine reeded wood cabinets with smooth painted pieces, iridescent tile with honed stone. And mix your finishes―satin nickel faucets and aged bronze light fixtures, for example.
Idea Spotlight
This style move rocks! A "moat" of smooth river rocks surrounds this freestanding tub, drawing even more attention to its gentle curves and sleek style. The effect is pure Zen.
Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn
Timeless Style
Let an old beach house speak for itself. Rather than replacing dated fixtures, call attention to them. Porcelain sinks and tubs can be re-glazed for a fresh (and inexpensive) new look.
Idea Spotlight
If you love a vibrant color but fear that it may upstage the room, paint it on a single wall. When tempered by neutrals, the color should accent rather than overwhelm.
Photo: Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn
Totally Tile
Turn your bath into a work of art. Whether used on a tub, floor, countertop, or backsplash, lustrous mosaic tiles make a splashy statement.
Idea Spotlight
To give the space a one-of-a-kind makeover, hire a professional to design a graphic motif or a mural. No matter what pattern you choose, the result will be eye-catching.
Photo: Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn
Vanity With Flair
Let a show stopping sink take center stage. Set a colorful bowl atop a vintage washstand, or mount it on a counter as an attention-getter.
Idea Spotlight
Hang deep medicine cabinets above the washstands to hold all of the necessary bath supplies.
Photo: Lisa Romerein
Get Outside
Forget a quick rinse in an outdoor shower―opt for a long soak under the stars. Turn a private deck into an outdoor bath with a freestanding tub and pedestal sink for the ultimate alfresco experience. A flea-market stool can keep accessories nearby.
Idea Spotlight
Add personal style to a claw-foot tub with a colorful hand-painted design. Or use wire and hot glue to frame a mirror with a collection of found driftwood.
Photo: Jean Allsopp
Cozy Corners
Unpainted, unfinished wood recalls bygone beach style―imagine a Key West cottage in the days of Hemingway. The look is authentic, natural, and beach-chic all at the same time.
Idea Spotlight
Open shelving doesn't have to look messy. Conceal your necessities in woven baskets and use clear jars or hurricane vases to hold bath beads or beach finds.
Photo: Tria Giovan
Space Saver
Maximize the square footage of a small powder room with sliding or pocket-style doors and you won't have to plan around door clearances.
Idea Spotlight
Turn a bathroom mirror into a work of art by attaching crown molding or replacing the glass within a picture frame.
Photo: Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn
Problem Solver
Opt for a pedestal or wall-mounted sink in close quarters. Your bath will look and feel more spacious.
Idea Spotlight
Use inexpensive woven baskets for under-sink storage. They're an attractive solution for rooms lacking built-in closets and medicine cabinets.

Wedaholic.com: The Modern Alternative To A Wedding Guest Book
i-vox, the leading brand of video diary rooms, were at Earls Court a few weeks ago collecting feedback from visitors to the National Wedding Show. It got a great response and visitors and exhibitors thought it was an innovative and fun way of capturing opinion.
The format of having a room to film yourself in rather than a feedback form is one that appealed to the show organisors so they can analyze what visitors really thought of the show, and not be confined to the boundaries of written questions.
Watch some samples here. If you like what you see you can pop around to the next two shows in the Spring, they are Birmingham 16-18 Feb 2007 and London 23 - 25 Feb 2007.
How does this relate to weddings?
Well i-vox also offer a service where by they will set up your very own video diary room at your wedding. So instead of the usual guest book, guests can visit the room anytime they want (as it is constantly recording) to say a few words about how much they are enjoying the wedding!
A great alternative to the traditional wedding guest book. Let me know what you think of this unique idea by leaving a comment below.

This last July, the mandated SB-245 (establishing the SEC), was signed into law by Governor Hassan, this is what we ended up with.
There is hereby established a committee to be known as the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee consisting of 9 members, as follows:(a) The commissioners of the Public Utilities Commission, the chairperson of which shall be the chairperson of the committee;(b) The commissioner of the department of environmental services, who shall be the vice-chairperson of the committee;(c) The commissioner of the department of resources and economic development;(d) The commissioner of the department of transportation;(e) The commissioner of the department of cultural resources or the director of the division of historical resources as designee ( all of these commissioners are governor appointees ); and (f) Two members of the public, appointed by the governor, with the consent of the council, at least one of whom shall be a member in good standing of the New Hampshire Bar Association, and both of whom shall be residents of the state of New Hampshire with expertise or experience in one or more of the following areas: public deliberative or adjudicative proceedings; business management; environmental protection; natural resource protection; energy facility design, construction, operation, or management; or community and regional planning or economic development.
I'm surprised that the Chair of Municipal and County Government, wasn't somehow added to this list.
The appointments of the two members of the public was supposed to happen before the Oct 1st deadline.
The two so called "public members" the Governor had chosen were Sen. Bob O'Dell (R) who chairs the Ways and Means committee, vice chair of Energy and Natural Resources and member of Finance, and Rep Amanda Merrill (D) who sits on Science Technology & Energy. Both of these nominees are pro wind-farm, anyone want to guess where this is going? Talk about stacking the deck.
Three out of five of the Executive Council had voted down these appointments, Governor Hassan tabled the two appointments until after the Nov election in hopes of getting the votes from said council. This is a sad irresponsible way of running a government, call Governor Hassan, tell her to throw her two appointments out. Tell her to read the bill over again, look beyond Concord and choose two members of the public that do not have Concord moon-dust on their shoulders prior to the December 1st deadline when the Site Evaluation Committee needs to submit a permanent funding plan.The site evaluation committee needs time to consider potential funding sources, including but not limited to the imposition of reasonable application fees and the use of general funds. The site evaluation committee shall consider whether a dedicated fund is necessary as part of a permanent funding plan. The plan shall describe the costs of the ongoing administration of the site evaluation committee's duties, including state agency expenses associated with processing an application under this chapter. The plan shall make recommendations for funding sources to meet those needs, except that such funding sources shall not include annual operating fees imposed on energy facilities or further use of the renewable energy fund. This is a tall order to wait until after the election. And what ever happened to the Oct 1st deadline, after all, it's only been three months since the bill was signed. The SEC is the final word in placement of the so called renewable energy franchises that are popping up all around the state, without a full committee, is it going to be rubber-stamp operations as usual?
As a write in candidate for the House, I can't endorse the choice of Senator O'Dell and Representative Merrill Governor Hassan has chosen to appoint, just as I can't support the conflict of interest the PUC Commissioners will bring to the table.

Every historian and writer of history is biased - some admit it, others feign complete objectivity. I found this comment by an Amazon reviewer intriguing:
Butterfield's amendatory poignant insight questions common perception toward the understanding of history. He argues that historical knowledge is skewed when it's done non-theologically, i.e., outside Christian worldview. History is, according to Butterfield, a fulfilling prophecy of God's sovereignty; Christianity is therefore an historical religion (3). Furthermore, Butterfield enumerates several misconceptions about study of history. For example, new evidence makes history seem evolving yet historical events remain true (14f); history is always biased so that only unbiased truth, i.e., Christianity, can reveal real event (17ff); even though history is a science sometimes it cannot be reconstructed scientifically, because God's authority lies beyond human logic so history must be understood holistically rather than through mere science (22f).And then there's this review on Butterfield's views regarding presentism (something many modern historians are guilty of) and his once widely read The Whig Interpretation of History:
According to him, the historian rather than viewing himself as a chivalrous knight ready to avenge and punish the unrighteous in the past, should instead look more to the position of reconciler, trying to understand people and events of the past from the historian's limited point of view. To Butterfield the Whig interpretation was dangerous because it tried to make historical study the voice of God. It divided the world into friends and enemies of progress, "equated with the visible manifestation of God's favor upon certain people and places in the past."And this:
It is not the task of the historian to pass sentence on the sins of the past but to investigate and describe the differences. Rather than the voice of God, history was presented as the servant to the servants of God; because history was used by all the other disciplines and in turn needed to learn from them before offering an explanation of the past.And this:
Whig historians, according to Butterfield, used their passion and imagination not to better understand and investigate but to present their previously decided conclusion . . .(Source.)
If this does not describe what so many modern historians attempt to do, I don't know what else does. I'd heard of Butterfield and read some things about him in the past, but have never read any of his books. I'm really looking forward to reading Christianity and History, as well as The Whig Interpretation of History.
I also found this comment from Wikipedia quite intriguing:
Butterfield thought individual personalities more important than great systems of government or economics in historical study.I've always thought biography was the best way to truly understand and study history. This observation would seem to affirm that belief.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Be the first to review
READY IN: 45mins
Recipe by Sues Kitchen
I have had this recipe forever! It was submitted to our Girl Guide Cookbook by one of our mothers. Just love these meatballs served over hot buttered noodles.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons onions, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt (or 1 clove minced)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sweet and Sour Sauce
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1⁄4 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices, juice
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine all meatball ingredients except the vegetable oil and form into balls.
- Pan fry meatballs in 2 tbsps oil or bake at 350 degree oven until browned and cooked thoroughly.
- Set meatballs aside, covered with tin foil.
- Make the sweet and sour sauce by mixing sugar, salt and cornstarch in a fairly large pot. Add vinegar, soy sauce and pineapple juice. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly until desired thickness.
- Cut up pineapple slices into bite size pieces. (I use sliced pineapple instead of pineapple tidbits because I seem to get more juice). Add pineapple and meatballs to sweet and sour sauce. Heat through and serve over buttered egg noodles or rice. These make nice appetizers too.

This was Jack van Ommen's slogan when he started his circumnavigation at age 68. "SoloMan" is his story of the nine years, fifty one countries, six continents voyage.
An excerpt from the chapter: "All is lost" :
"The moon is full, but a heavy cloud cover from the dying storm and the lingering rain limits my visibility. My headlamp light is quickly swallowed up in the darkness. The steady beam of light from the nearby lighthouse sweeps over a cataclysmic sight. It is slowly starting to sink in that this chapter of my life is coming to a violent end."
What now?" ( continue reading) "
In 'SoloMan', Jack van Ommen relives an incredible adventure, beginning with his departure from the Pacific Coast, and ending nine years later in the storm-tossed seas off Mallorca. He started with only a dream, his thirty foot wooden sailboat and $150 in his checking account. After visiting 51 countries and with 48,000 nautical miles in his wake, Jack's journey comes to an abrupt end when his boat is lost, and with it, his few remaining possessions.
This is the story of that life-changing experience at sea, and of how one man was able to transcend certain adversity with hope, persistence and an abiding faith in God and his fellow man.
On November 16, 2013, on his way from Europe to South America, to cross the Atlantic for the third time, he shipwrecked. "Fleetwood" the thirty foot plywood boat, his for nearly half his lifetime and now his only home, was lost with all his possessions.
Many books have been written about sailing circumnavigations. "Soloman" is unique in the low budget, the route he followed, the resilience in adversity and his multi language ability to communicate and discover. The book contains a collection of his happenstance encounters: The beheading of a German sailor on Madagascar, a woman reunites with her father she has searched for all her life through the writer's blog post of a meeting in a Romanian village, through a shortwave radio contact on the Atlantic Ocean he ends up with a detailed story how his mother spent the war in German concentration camps, on visiting Napoleon's grave on the island of St. Helena, he learns that his triple great grandfather was one of the very few survivors of Napoleon's 1812 Russia expedition, etc.
It is part autobiography when he explains what drives his curiosity and attraction to sail alone. A dream that started in childhood but evaporated in bankruptcy in 2000, which left him with next to nothing and his long neglected "Fleetwood". In 2002 his Social Security payments afforded him to begin overhauling and equipping the boat. When Jack van Ommen left Santa Barbara, California for his 3,000 mile crossing to the Marquesas his net worth was all of $150 in his checking account and the boat, with a promise of a $1,450 monthly Social Security deposit at the end of the twenty eight day ocean crossing.
"Soloman" had a few specific goals for places to visit: Vietnam, where he had served from late 1961 until early 1963. This takes up a major chapter in the book. Holland, where he was raised and left for the United States when he was nineteen, another moving experience. The Danube, most likely van Ommen can claim to be the only single-handed sailor to navigate the over 4,500 miles from the North Sea to the Black Sea, plus a round trip Mediterranean-Holland, on the inland waterways of France and Belgium, passing through 562 locks. For a breakdown of the nine year, 51 countries visited, over 48,500 nautical mile adventure go to: http://www.cometosea.us/?page_id=2
The Epilogue of the book has good news. But will "Soloman" connect the dots to claim a completed circumnavigation before Eighty Years? He has until February 28, 2017 to sail through the Panama Canal to a line between Trinidad and Miami. Stay tuned for a possible sequel.
Where can I order "SoloMan"?:
If you have never tried an E-book yet, this should be your reason to try. The 328 page book is illustrated with more than 400 color photographs and charts. These are his best pictures and it is difficult to appreciate the multi-color sunsets in the black and white print version.
You can get an idea of what the E-book looks like by sampling through the first chapters in the book on the Amazon-Kindle web site. Another advantage of the electronic book is that you can click on any part of the index to bring you directly to that part of the book and it has a search function. Your name is probably in there.
- The Kindle version is available in English and Dutch from:
- www.Amazon.com search under: Jack van Ommen $ 9.50
- For the print versions go to
- www.CreateSpace.com/6058211 Black&White $19.50
- www.CreateSpace.com/5915347 Full Color $59.00
- The Dutch version
- www.CreateSpace.com/6055167 Black&White $19.50
- www.CreateSpace.com/5960419 Full Color $59.00
- Amazon Germany, France, Spain and Italy (just go to Jack van Ommen)
- sell both languages Black and White at € 17.75 and the color at € 52.00
- the Kindle can be bought from Amazon in Europe at € 8.50
- Amazon does not sell the print versions in Holland, only the Kindle.
- United Kingdom Amazon.UK : B&W £ 13.50 Colour £ 42.00
The print versions are also listed on Amazon but Jack gets more royalties when purchased from Create Space. Just don't let SoloMan ever find out that you cheated him out of three bucks….
Because of the price difference between the black and white and the color illustrations it is recommended to make use of the slide shows that can be downloaded from http://www.ComeToSea.us/albums/albums. The book has an index for the slide shows corresponding to the chapters. The complete slide show collection can also be purchased on a DVD by contacting van Ommen on the contact section. Another way to follow the action in the book is to read the blogs on his web site www.cometosea.us which he started in 2009 before crossing the Atlantic to Europe. It has many of his best pictures with the stories.

Attracts The Wrong Kind Of Lover - Poem by Marcquiese Burrell
If there is any evidence of you being
susceptible to self-destruct
Than I have to leave you, Just let you go
It is a potentially bad situation
No kind of jealousy is healthy in any relationship
But you take it to another level
as you test my loyalty about every hour we're apart
Do I give you any reason to doubt the way I feel?
Does it make you feel good to want control?
As I try and figure you out.
Don't cry when you can't get your way,
Or Call my phone as if you can't spend
a moment without speaking to me
Are you in need of constant attention?
Arriving home you question where I have been
I look at another other than you,
and you ask if I would like to lay down with them
You seem to be somekind of paranoid
All of this tells me one thing, leave you alone, Just let you go
Because it is a potentially harmful situation
and I don't want part in it, Your not what I'm looking for
I'm in need of real woman, One who won't drive me out of my mind

Reassuring advice from four of the most beautiful women we know. Because if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for the missus.
The Words She Really Wants to Hear
Eight pieces of reassuring advice from four of the most beautiful women we know. Because if chocolate and one-size-fits-all lingerie are good enough for them, it's good enough for the missus.PLUS: How to Buy Lingerie, Gifts for Every Date, and More Valentine Ideas >>More
A supermodel is a terrible thing to waste. And while the world has wasted no time gawking at the Victoria's Secret Angels, they are — as the most elite, intimidating supermodel collective known to man — more or less unattainable for our species. So we spent our recent afternoon with (from left) Behati Prinsloo, Doutzen Kroes, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Marisa Miller asking them how to better impress our (slightly less alien) better halves on this, the most intimidating holiday of the year.
Behati Prinsloo: "It's always a tough thing for a guy because there's a lot of expectation. I don't think women even really realize how stressful it is sometimes. For me, I love simple flowers or anything thoughtful. You don't have to go all-out and go crazy with lingerie if you don't want to. It depends on your girl, you know? If she's into that naughty stuff, go do that, because she would expect it."

The auto save feature is amazing!
I have been around Wizzley for a while now (with a unplanned health break :) and I do lots of work on the computer in general... And I have a cat... With a strong tendency on jumping on the keyboard and magically stepping on all the right buttons (the darn cat has a very good success rate).
Wizzley so far is one of the rare "computer related thing-ies" that my cat hasn't been able to mess up (well aside from adding a few meaningless words and letters).
Giving my praise to whoever thought of this and to whoever made it happen!

This is the records summary for Oct. 16.
Burglary under investigation
Anyone with information is asked to report it to the police department by calling 320-235-2244.
District Court
Kandiyohi County
- Abass Warsame Mumin, 23, of Willmar, was sentenced Tuesday to 15 months in prison, which was stayed, five years of probation, 50 days in jail and a total of $1,000 in fines on two felony charges of financial card transaction fraud.
He was given credit for 50 days already served in custody and ordered to pay $1,181 in restitution, plus follow the recommendations of a chemical use assessment.
Mumin was also sentenced to 365 days in jail, with 275 days stayed and 90 to serve, with credit for 52 days already served, a $3,000 fine, with $2,500 stayed, and two years of probation on a gross misdemeanor charge of fifth-degree assault.
As part of a plea agreement, two additional counts of financial card transaction fraud and a first-degree witness tampering charge were dismissed.
One of the sets of financial card transaction fraud was filed after a woman reported to Willmar police on July 21 that she had forgotten her debit card at a local gas station and that when she went back to the store, video footage showed a man, identified as Mowalid Muse Hirsi, 28, of Willmar, taking the card. There were multiple fraudulent charges on the card.
Hirsi pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor charge of financial card fraud and will be sentenced Oct. 31. A felony charge against Francisco Fredrick Galvan, 32, of Willmar, was previously dismissed as part of a plea agreement in a drug sale case.
Video footage at several local businesses showed Hirsi and Mumin using the card to make $1,100 in purchases. Two people reported that Hirsi and Mumin had offered them liquor to drive them around to the stores. Information was later sent to the police department that Galvan had used the card to make an online purchase of a cell phone, which was delivered to an address where he had been living.
The other set of financial transaction card fraud charges was filed after Aug. 13, when a man reported to Willmar Police that he'd inadvertently left his wallet in a vehicle. The man said two Somali men, identified by their nicknames and Mumin and Hirsi, had driven him to a gas station to buy cigarettes. The man was later informed by his bank that his account was overdrawn and $331.92 in charges had been made on his debit card.
Video footage from a location where the card was used showed Mumin making a purchase. Mumin, nickname of "M60", was arrested on another charge the next day and his clothing stored at the jail included the same items he was wearing in the video footage.
Hirsi was interviewed and said he gave the man a ride and agreed that his nickname is "Biggie" or "Moe."
The assault and witness tampering charges were filed after July 16, when Willmar police officers were called to an assault in the downtown area. A man reported that he'd been assaulted by a group of people, including that Hirsi had held him as Mumin hit him in retaliation for the man talking with law enforcement about a theft incident.
- Dion Hernandez, 20, of Willmar, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a gross misdemeanor count of carrying a gun in a public place.
As part of a plea agreement, a felony charge of second-degree assault will be dismissed. He will be sentenced Nov. 20.
Hernandez and Michael Gaylen Garcia, 16, of Willmar, are charged in the case. Garcia, who also faces a misdemeanor charge of careless driving, is scheduled to make his next appearance Jan. 13. Felony charges against 16- and 17-year-old juveniles are public record.
According to the court files, Willmar police were called around 4 p.m. July 24 to the intersection of 13th Street and Becker Avenue Southwest to investigate the incident. Witnesses had reported a description of the vehicle involved and then told the officers that the five individuals who were in the car were walking down 11th Street.
The officers located the five men and Garcia told them that they'd had a friendly chat with the people at the 13th Street/Becker Avenue location. He said there was a 12-gauge shotgun in the car and that he used it for hunting. He allegedly told officers that Hernandez had gotten the gun out, but held it low and denied pulling the weapon on anyone.
Hernandez said there was a verbal confrontation over destroyed property, but denied having a shotgun.
The man who had been assaulted reported that a car had driven up quickly and that the driver, Garcia, and Hernandez got out of the vehicle, with Hernandez leveling the gun at his chest with the muzzle about two feet away from his body. The man said that both Hernandez and Garcia were yelling and screaming at him.
Several witnesses had observed the altercation and got the license plate and vehicle and personal description of the men. The registered owner of the car allowed police to search the car, where they located a Winchester 12-gauge shotgun in an unzipped case.

Elections Alberta orders independent investigation of PC Party acceptance of Katz donation
EDMONTON, AB (January 8, 2013): Wildrose Official Opposition welcomed the decision by Chief Electoral Officer Brian Fjeldheim to investigate allegations of improper contributions to the PC Party, and called for the PCs to be held to account for allegedly accepting a $430,000 single-source donation in the 2012 election.
In a letter to Wildrose Official Opposition Leader Danielle Smith recently, Fjeldheim indicated independent investigators have been retained. Retired Court of Queen's Bench Justice Ernest Marshall has been appointed the Director of Investigation for this matter. Wildrose called for an investigation after reports indicated the PCs accepted a single $430,000 donation far exceeding the $30,000 legal donation limit. "Our election laws clearly prohibit parties from accepting donations of more than $30,000 in an election year," Wildrose Justice Critic Shayne Saskiw said. "The PC party must be held to account for soliciting and attempting to get around these rules, and Albertans deserve a level playing field during elections and the assurance that their government is not for sale." Sections 17, 19 and 34 of the Election Finances and Contributions Disclosure Act deal with the limits individuals are allowed to contribute in a campaign ($30,000 per individual or entity) and clearly state that individuals can't donate money that does not belong to them. While Wildrose has called for the banning of corporate donations to political parties and the lowering of personal donation limits to $5,000 annually, or $10,000 in an election year, the PC government voted down these amendments which would have improved accountability and transparency in the fall session. "We hope the investigation will reveal the truth about what happened and clearly establish that the PC's imaginary so-called 'Katz loophole' does not exist," Saskiw said. "Wildrose will continue to press for a ban on corporate donations to protect the democratic process."

Southwest Airlines Offering Some Really Cheap Seats
Southwest Airlines has created a huge amount of buzz among low-fare junkies this morning with the announcement of a two-day sale where all tickets cost either $30, $60 or $90 one-way.
As the Dallas Morning News' aviation blog puts it:
Southwest calls it "one of the biggest fare sales in the company's history."
Rick Seaney of FareCompare.com called it "one of the most unusual system-wide airfare sales we have tracked in [the] past five years."
"For those who have been waiting for the cheapest fare sale of the year, I can't think of anything better," said Tom Parsons of BestFares.com.
The sale is simple -- flights up to 400 miles are $30 each way; up to 750 miles is $60, and over that is $90. The low prices aren't available on Friday or Saturday.
The other caveat : The sale ends tomorrow.

At least there will be no breaking bad for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this season.
They kept their playoff hopes alive with a win Monday that also means they won't bust the team's old record for losing in the 18-game CFL.
At 3-12 they would now finish, at worst, tied with the old mark of 3-15 set under Jeff Reinebold. But they have three games to go and other wins at least possible.
"That's good to know, I didn't know that," coach Tim Burke said Wednesday of the impact that one win had on his first full season as a head coach.
"Let's try to be above that too."
But the Bombers are still hanging on by a thread, that will snap as soon as they lose or as soon as the Montreal Alouettes (6-9) win.
They face the Toronto Argonauts in Winnipeg Saturday and next Thursday in Toronto, and close the regular season at home Nov. 2 against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The quarterback carousel that has led the Winnipeg offence appears to have stopped, for the moment at least, at Max Hall.
The CFL rookie, who turned 28 this month, has completed 97 of 166 passes for 1,197 yards, six touchdowns and eight interceptions. He finally added a win to his stats Monday in Montreal.
He was one of a pair of CFL rookies the Bombers brought in to watch and learn, with Buck Pierce as their starter and Justin Goltz as his main understudy.
But with Pierce traded and Goltz failing to measure up, Hall found himself taking snaps as the season crashed and burned.
"I fully anticipated having a year to sit, with having Buck and Justin in front of me to start the season," he said Wednesday.
But things are looking up, he adds, and he hopes the Bombers will want him back in some capacity next season.
"I'm seeing the field better and making the reads faster and I definitely feel more comfortable," he said.
"I'm making progress, I'm not at the level I'd like to be . . . I think I made some good steps forward in the last game with Montreal and I've just got to keep on going."
Meanwhile, slotback Aaron Kelly is on the injured list for Saturday and cornerback Jovon Johnson is doubtful. Defensive back Desia Dunn also may not play but that won't be decided until Thursday, suggests Burke.
Kelly's absence means Mike Sims-Walker will make his first start at receiver for the Bombers.
Sims-Walker says it's been hard just watching but Kelly was doing so well he understood why he didn't get in sooner. He also said he had to learn the differences between the NFL and CFL games.
"He's shown that he can be a pretty good player," said Burke.
Avoiding turnovers is key for the Bombers if they want to succeed.
"Absolutely," says Hall, who points to the mistakes he made when he first stepped into the starter's spot.
"Now I think I'm kind of eliminating those mistakes and taking care of the football better."
Clarence Denmark was Hall's favourite receiver in that Montreal game, when turnovers by the Alouettes (including four interceptions and two fumbles) crippled their offence.
"It feels great," said Denmark, who caught five passes for 102 yards.
"I feel like once Max gets it going, he's a great quarterback. We've just to go out there and play and try not to make as many mistakes as we have in the past."
Also strong in that game was running back Will Ford, who added 93 yards, continuing to impress Burke who adds he even blocks well, something the Bombers have needed on offence.
Although Toronto has lost its last two games, it still leads the East and can't be counted on to turn over the ball six or seven times. Four quarterbacks have thrown a combined total of eight interceptions all season.
"We know Toronto's got a good defence," said Ford. "But we've got to execute and make plays, just like every week."
Burke also said it's unlikely last season's star running back Chad Simpson will return to the Bombers. He's been injured this season and as a free agent next season is also expected to try the NFL.Report Typo/Error

And here's the follow-up to the previous installment of Lil Wayne & Gil Green's recent stream of video collaberations. Its the continuation of the very simple, yet creative, "A MIlli" video (which you can see by clicking here). This is the new single off The Carter III, entitled "Get Money" and here's the video to accompany it.
Now, recently we all got to see the video for "Out Here Grindin'" and to say the least, the video was definitely not up to par or even close to what we usually see from Gil Green and camp. But Gil didn't fall short and came back to something we're familiar with on "Get Money:" Word!

A quiet word from a rookie Rabbitohs teammate has inspired Sam Burgess to forfeit boozy nights and shun the spotlight as he looks to end his South Sydney stint on a high.
Burgess was already five weeks into a self-imposed booze ban when South Sydney halfback Luke Keary told him to keep at it. The Englishman hasn't sworn off alcohol completely, but said he has never dedicated himself so much to his rugby league, as the clock winds down on his NRL career before his switch to English rugby at the end of this season. He has not drunk heavily since South Sydney's brutal 14-12 loss to Manly in round two which was followed by a "big night".
"Young Luke Keary challenged me," Burgess said. "I said 'let's do it'. He is a top lad. I'd been off it for five or six weeks and he said 'are you going to do it all year'? I said 'why?' And he said because it seemed to work and he didn't think I could do it. So I said 'lets do it'.
"I've never sacrificed as much as I have this year and I'm feeling the benefits. I've been off [the booze] for a while. [I have sacrificed] stuff like late nights and I'm looking after my body.
"It's my last crack for now."
Burgess has been a regular in Sydney's social circuit since he joined the Rabbitohs in 2010. He has brushed aside endorsement opportunities and opted for a more low key existence in recent months.
"I'm not doing as much away from footy," Burgess said. "I'm not doing any outside works. I'm just focused on [football]. I've done nothing all year. It's been good.
"I've learnt a lot in the past six months. I don't think about [being in career best form].
"I have got a bit of clarity on what I want from the year.
"A lot of the boys sacrifice. It's not just me doing it. To get what you want you have to sacrifice."
Burgess aims to be a dual-international and wants to represent England at next year's World Cup. At 25, Burgess hasn't ruled out a return to the NRL once his three-year contract ends.
"It would be pretty stubborn to say that I won't only miss the NRL, but the boys, my family and the weather," Burgess said. "I'll miss a lot of that stuff. I'm comfortable in what I'm going to do.
"It's a short career but I've got the rest of my life to do all that.
"I'll never say never [to return to the club]. I'd love to come back. If I play every game this year, I'll finish up close to 100 games, so I'd want to come back and knock that over at some stage.
"I see myself coming back but when I don't know, if I don't know."
A back spasm in the warm-up of South Sydney's last clash against the Wests Tigers almost cost Burgess from starting that game. He still managed a game high 171 metres and 26 tackles during an 80-minute stint. Burgess said 10 minutes before the game started he indicated that he wouldn't play.
"It was uncomfortable," Burgess said. "It felt like someone has a knife in your back. I've never had it before.
"I didn't do much after that game for about a week. We had the bye which was pretty good timing for me."

Game Peacekeeper is a arcade game for the android, which became the basis for the well-known to us the genre Tower Defense, that's just focus here the developers have done quite other values ...
In particular, the game is replete with unnecessary cruelty and lots of remains of your enemies, which will certainly appreciate many gamers!
Pretty primitive gameplay that somewhat resembles a classic confrontation between plants and zombies will ask you to take a trench on the left side of the screen and shoot anyone who tries to come to you from the left side of the playing space. Moreover, according to the story, the butcher in the role which you speak is a such a peacemaker ... feel the sarcasm?
Humor in general, developers do not regret it, because between levels we can observe quite funny dialogues between the rivals, and war are not in any way affect, you can let go a couple of caustic curses or to ask who was the lead singer in any group .... and then shoot a hundred different enemies!
The fight will be quite dynamic, and it is not reduced to a dull horizontal shooting. You can not just move on their trench up and down, you can duck, as well as to shoot in any direction, just click on the enemy you want to hit! The enemies, by the way, is quite blunt, for which, in general, and will be destroyed, at least grab your trench they did not try, even if kto-to come, it stops and will attack you at close range, so that if there is adequate skill you will be able to fight back in any situation. Largest and most bloody bonus becomes a super hit, which periodically collects and destroys many enemies at once on a fairly large area, which is very useful when they are near the trench collected a large amount. What else is happy - neither you nor your enemies do not die from the first hit, everyone has a scale with their lives and that it is logical, it must come to an end.
games Disadvantages:
Bottom line: it is possible to choose from the game about meat? Of course, a lot of meat! And in the game Peacekeeper it is! Unfortunately, it does not deliver one of the dynamics that we would like, ideally, elementary from the fact that your hero to get out of the trench can not, however, a great option for beginners butchers;)

Bring it with a well balanced diet and our sprinting bands!
Keeping in top form is important all year round, but the start of a New Year gives you an even better reason to try and improve the way that you exercise and eat. Trying to steer clear of those foods and drinks that you know are doing you no good can be really difficult after the Christmas and New Year's holiday, but we are almost a month into 2013 so now is the time to start trying if you have not already!
Know What You Need
Breaking old eating habits is one of the first things you have to deal with, but once you know exactly what you have to give your body to achieve the results you want it is not so hard. Supplying your body with the right type of fuel for your usual workout will mean you can exercise longer and harder. Whether you want a cardio workout, or want to build lean muscle, will determine what the best types of food to eat are.
We've broken the article up into 2 parts, the first was on fueling for Muscle Building and the second is all about eating for Cardio.
Energy Supply for a Cardio Session
An intense cardio session requires a different approach to strength training. Carbohydrates are the most important food source, and High Glycemic Index carbs can really help provide you with a quick energy boost while doing things like running or cycling. Foods like white bread and white rice are good examples of High Glycemic Index carbohydrates, and along with things like energy bars, release sugar into the blood very quickly, giving you a quick but brief energy boost which is perfect for going that extra few minutes. Adding fibre and protein will help to provide a more steady supply of energy while you are working out too, so it is a good idea to include some of these in your pre-workout meal too. Try to eat your high carbohydrate meal around 30 to 60 minutes before you plan to work out.
Cardio Session Foods
Before you start your cardio session you need something in your stomach, and mixed whole grains is a healthy choice. Granola or muesli with sliced apple and brown sugar topped off with skimmed milk or low fat yogurt is a good start. Fruit smoothies are also a great source of carbs, and you can try mixing different fruits to see which you like best. Try bananas, strawberries, honey, and soy milk for a really delicious and healthy smoothie.
Once you have finished your cardio work out, you need to replace all those electrolytes and carbohydrates you lost. Fruits and veggies are the best source of carbohydrates, so try things like salads with cashews nuts and vegetable soups. Keeping everything natural will go a long way to provide your body with the nutrition it needs and keep it as healthy as possible.

For his Brother
E/O Challenge Slip 100 words exact Spoilers: Through the end of season 6
Disclaimer: The supernatural characters are not mine:
They'd made it to Bobby's after righting the Impala. She'd be alright according to Dean.
Sam felt his mind slipping again. How do you tell someone that "I glad you think everything will be OK. But I think I'm going to shatter."
Heck, how to explain shattering and putting yourself back together again, at all.
Unlike the Impala, Sam himself would be harder to fix. He kept getting flashes of Hell. Had he told himself the truth that he wasn't strong enough, after all had he ever been strong enough.
For his brother, he would keep trying to carry on.

Entertainment Update 9th/12/2015
ayden Forster on the perception model Jessica Hart has turned her back on Australia
JESSICA Hart is a style consultant for the national airline Qantas, but the Aussie model is no longer living in Australia.
Hart, who was born in Melbourne but moved to the US almost ten years ago, has renounced her country of birth for the US in a recent interview.
The 29-year-old beauty said she felt pressure to "conform" in Australia more so than in the Big Apple.
"Unique people are the kind who get noticed here," she told Convicts, a New York store and digital platform.
"At home you were always trying to conform, and here I kind of felt free to be myself. Or at least wear jeans and converse instead of heels and makeup to a casting.
"Here is home. I used to always refer to Australia as home. And I feel terrible saying it, but now it really is home here."
An ambassador for an Australian company living outside of Australia is definitely not a good look, but Celebrity Lane blogger Jayden Forster says her place of residency would not affect her ability to represent that brand.
"She is a global ambassador. She is not an ambassador for Australia only or New Zealand or even China for that matter. She is a high-profile celebrity who is on the world stage and there is nothing that says ambassadors have to live here in order to represent the brand, and do it well, which she is," he said.

Sipping my morning cuppa joe, I am sitting and typing this post from my lil' apartment back in the land of cheese.
In other words, I made it home.
After a long 12 hours of travel, I arrived to Wisconsin safe, smelly and exhausted in the best way possible. Now, almost a day and a half later, I am still safe, smelly and exhausted in the best way possible. Good trips have a way of lingering like that.
Anyways…we still have days 6 + 7 to recap, so let's get to it! After a lovely couple days hiking and camping (check here and here for recaps), Susan + I packed up the tent and headed back to Banff Monday morning. Once we had re-checked in to the YWCA, re-dropped off our bags and re-dropped off the tent, we were naturally starving.
Enter in: The Bison.
We had been eyeing this place for several days, and after sitting down, I am so glad we ate here. This mountain bistro was sleek + modern but with a lovely outdoorsy, rugged twist. Looking at the menu, I could not for the life of me decided what I wanted…
House Mixed Greens…black mission figs, maple walnuts with a Saskatoon berry vinaigrette?
Bison Onion Soup…caramelized onions, bison broth, red wine, garlic crouton, comte?
Roast Turkey + Gruyere...grainy mustard mayo, ovendried tomatoes, romaine?
Roast Turkey + Gruyere it was!
This sandwich was delicious. I think my favorite part was either the wonderfully seedy, multigrain baguette it was served on or this Greek Salad, which was actually chunks of veggies + feta instead of a leafy salad…
The rest of the day was spent at the internet cafe, walking around, making some dinner with the remnants of food leftover from camping (check out Susan's post for the epic concoction) and just relaxing. Trust me, it was MUCH needed.
After a solid nine hours of sleep, we prioritized: #1 eat breakfast + #2 drink an extra extra large coffee.
On our morning walk to the coffeeshop, we marveled at the eerie cloud formations partially concealing the mountains all around us…
Very Sleepy Hollow, no?
Evelyn's – a local java chain – was our coffee provider of choice the entire time in Banff. Who needs Starbucks when you have a lovely lady like Evelyn serving you coffee that tastes SO MUCH better?
Unfortunately, there were only a couple hours left before we had to catch a bus back to Calgary, so we quickly souvenir shopped and stopped by The Fudgery to buy some treats for the road. Another tough decision. Macaroons, bear claws, maple fudge…it was all too much for my raging sweet tooth to handle.
Finally, I chose a caramel nut apple and ate it while we walked to the bus station…
Freaking amazing.
I want another.
After an hour a half on the bus, Calgary was once again in our sights…
Don't you just love when trips (and life in general) go full circle? We started off our grand adventure in Calgary, so to come back was a bittersweet yet fully appropriate way to end things.
First stop…the Glenbow Museum!
Susan + I discovered we share a mutual love for Impressionism. Coincidentally, an Impressionist art exhibit was being held at the Glenbow. Fate? I think yes…
P.S. I got yelled at for taking that second photo, but it was so worth it. That is a Pierre-Auguste Renoir print of famed sculptor Auguste Rodin. Two of my favorite artists in one – I loves.
Our final stop – dinner at loungeburger!
That would be a Big Rock Grasshopper beer. Delish.
The reason for this visit was to meet-up with one of our fave eco-friendly bloggers…Allison from Eat Clean Live Green! She is incredibly sweet, kind and so much fun to talk to. In fact, us three ladies talked for three hours and forgot to take a picture together. Doh.
Since it was my last night in Canada, I figured it was time to go big or go home.
a.k.a. Sausage Burger time!
Your eyes do not deceive you.
Those ARE waffle fries.
And that IS a pretzel bun.
<Enter in 8 hours of sleep, 12 hours of travel and 1 tired me>
Over the course of those 12 traveling hours, I finished this AMAZING book…
Seriously, a fabulous read.
Alright…I gotta head to work, but it IS Friday so no complaining here :).
Happy (almost) weekend!

It had been nearly three years since the fragment design collaborations, and in that time, the Air Footscape Motion sole had only been used on the Chukka. The original Footscape running silhouette had taken on a Free bottom in the interim, but then this summer, the Nike Air Footscape Motion returned in a big way with several new colorways for summer. That four included this one pair in black and Mine Grey with bright blue tongue and heel loops, a style that seems to have slipped now into the third quarter schedule. Check them out up close after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on whether these will make it stateside like their Chukka counterparts.

Easy Pumpkin Granola
Recipe by RichFoods
Delicious fall spin on granola cereal. Perfect for morning breakfast with cold or hot milk, or as an on-the-go snack!
Top Review by Muffin Goddess
This was the perfect use for the last of the can of pumpkin that I had used for Recipe#489410. I love pumpkin granola, but it's so expensive to buy at Whole Foods, so it's nice to now have a recipe that I can use to make it at home. Just for kicks, I added a handful of pumpkin spice almonds to the mix before baking. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2013

Lottoland.co.uk, the 'Lotto Betting' website, has attracted strong criticism from UK Lotto operator Camelot for undercutting the recent price hike in EuroMillions lottery tickets.
Unlike national lottery operators, Lottoland.co.uk allows its customers to bet on the results of the biggest lottery draws across Europe. Customers are not entered in the actual draws, but are paid the same prizes as punters who buy their tickets directly from the official operators.
Until now, the main advantage for customers to buy from Lottoland.co.uk has been the ability to take a flutter on a wide range of lottery draws, from America's MegaMillions, to Spain's famous El Gordo.
Now, in a bold move following the recent EuroMillions ticket price hike from £2 to £2.50, Lottoland.co.uk has instituted a price freeze for its customers. This allows anyone to potentially win the same gargantuan payouts without forking over the extra 50p to play.
To promote the offer Lottoland.co.uk invited TOWIE star Jess Wright to pose with a trident in hand to evoke the look of goddess Britannia, who UK customers will recognize from the reverse of the 50p coin.
Unhappy with what it sees as an infringement on its monopoly as the supplier of EuroMillions tickets within the UK, a Camelot spokesman was critical of Lottoland.co.uk's ability to offer betting on lottery results. "Unlike The National Lottery, companies like Lottoland return no money to good causes," the spokesperson said.
And while Lottoland.co.uk is operating well within UK law, which allows betting on non-UK based lottery draws, Camelot announced they will continue to lobby the UK government and Gambling Commission to ban the practice.
"It is […] an anomaly – and a damaging one for good causes – that while it is prohibited under the legislation to place a bet on the outcome of the UK EuroMillions game (a National Lottery product), it is entirely possible to place a bet on the EuroMillions draw where the game is promoted in another EuroMillions country."
Any effort by Camelot to grow its monopoly position will certainly take time, and in the mean time British lottery players will continue to benefit from lower EuroMillions prices.
