GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands (AP) - Police in the Cayman Islands say a woman drove off an intruder by biting him. It cost her a tooth, though.
Police Chief Inspector Robert Scotland says the woman was home alone when she woke up to find a man standing over her bed. Scotland told The Associated Press on Friday that the woman bit the intruder when he put his hand over her mouth. He then fled.
He said the woman was treated at a hospital and that police are still looking for the intruder.
The incident occurred early Thursday in the northwest part of Grand Cayman.

U.S. single-family home prices rose in August, the latest sign that the housing market is on the mend, a closely watched survey showed on Tuesday.
The S&P/Case Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas gained 0.5 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, in line with economists' forecasts.
It was the seventh straight month of increases, extending the longest continuous string of gains since prices were boosted by the homebuyer tax credit in 2009 and 2010.
The sustained good news in home prices "makes us optimistic for continued recovery in the housing market," David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said in a statement.
"Even as we end the seasonally strong home buying period, the statistics are positive," said Blitzer.
On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, prices fared better, gaining 0.9 percent.
Prices in the 20 cities climbed 2 percent year-over-year, topping expectations for a 1.9 percent increase.
Robert Gray, managing partner of real estate private equity firm TerraCap Management, said the residential recovery bodes well for the commercial sector: "We think the commercial real estate market, including hotels, office complexes and some retail properties, will now start to recover. Those who missed the boat on the residential recovery would be wise to look into commercial real estate."
S&P 500 futures edged up following the data, but the stock market will be closed for a second day in a row in the wake of a powerful storm that hit the east coast.
Compared to a year ago, prices in Phoenix surged 18.8 percent, the fourth month in a row the hard-hit city has seen double-digit yearly gains, the report said.
Prices in Las Vegas — also one of the more distressed areas in the years since the end of the housing boom - were up 0.9 percent compared to a year ago, the first annual increase since January 2007.
Of the 20 cities in the index, three saw a yearly decline in prices, with Atlanta faring the worst, down 6.1 percent.

One of the joys of being a pundit is stimulating readers. But sometimes, that stimulation stirs up a hornet's nest, especially among the many fanboys whose attachment to specific technologies crosses into unnaturally personal territory. Often, that takes the form of online trash talk.
I do get the joy and allegiance one can form with technology, whether it's cars or computers. That enthusiasm and emotional investment is part of what makes a geek a geek, and if you're going to spend your workdays with technology, you really should enjoy it. But at the end of the day, it's just inanimate technology. As technology changes, you need to be able to adapt your passions and loyalties as the technology actually merits.
[ Hear Galen Gruman speak about the mobile-fueled consumerized IT trend Oct. 28 at the Southland Technology Conference (SoTec) in Long Beach, Calif. | InfoWorld picks the best office apps for the iPad and the best ofice apps for Android. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights via Twitter and with the Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
Not everyone shares that point of view, as the often extreme comments on this blog demonstrate.
Corrections that, well, aren't correct
Many comments are thoughtful even when passionate, bringing up an alternative viewpoint or framework for judging a particular technology. A great example is the discussion thread for a post I did on the openness of Android. I love those comments the most, as there is no one-size-fits-all way to evaluate technology fit and utility, and these different points of view truly enrich the discussion for all readers.
I also appreciate when people correct factual errors in my writing. I try to be correct, but sometimes I err. I may be out of date in my knowledge, especially for technologies that vendors provide limited access to. I use iOS and Android devices every day, and have ready access to Chrome OS devices, a WebOS-based HP TouchPad tablet, and a BlackBerry OS-6 based Torch smartphone, but not to Windows Phone 7, Bada, or BlackBerry 7 smartphones or BlackBerry PlayBook tablets. All the mobile vendors are terrible about responding to inquiries, and even fewer actually try to answer the question, instead referring me to vapid blog posts or telling me they'll look into it, then disappearing. I do Web research to explore an issue if I don't have hands-on access, but that's hit-or-miss. So do let me know of any errors, as I will correct them.
What I don't appreciate are people who "correct" things that are not incorrect. Often, the person making the correction has no idea what he (it's almost always a he) is talking about. He just wants something to attack with. A recent example comes from my post "A year with the iPad: How it's changed me." In it, "FrankLeeSpeakin" wrote, "How it's changed me? ... Baaad English! Well, that is what happens when one uses an iPad for too long."
Ah, but anyone with knowledge of basic English knows that "it's" is a legitimate contraction of not only "it is" but "it has." There is no grammatical error. But I bet "FrankLeeSpeakin" felt better after posting that comment and has no idea he just made himself look illiterate.

Builders are NPC pedestrians found around every city in every Grand Theft Auto game. They are most commonly found at industrial neighborhoods of cities and in construction sites. In the GTA III Era, most builders look very similar, some sharing the same pedestrian model, and usually wear common jackets and shirts, jeans and hard hats. Since the GTA IV Era, builders appearances look more varied and are found doing lots of different activities.
GTA III Era
In Grand Theft Auto III, builders appear randomnly at any part of Liberty City, most prominently at industrial areas auch as Portland Harbor.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, builders are commonly found in Viceport, where most of the pedestrians around are workers. They now appear at construction sites like Avery Carrington's. They are commonly seen driving industrial vehicles (mostly Mules, Bensons, Yankees, Burritoes, Rumpos, Ponies, Trashmasters, Packers, flatbeds, Bobcats, Waltons and Securicars). Some builders carry hammers and screwdrivers; the player can obtain one by killing the builder and stealing it.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, builders continue to appear at industrial areas of cities, such as the Hunter Quarry.
In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, builders make a manifestation at Portland Harbor and Harwood against the tunnels and supporting the ferries. When the player enters this areas, they will attack him with baseball bats.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, builders are seen in the same areas as GTA Vice City.
GTA IV Era
Since Grand Theft Auto IV, builders are never seen around normal parts of Liberty City, but only in construction sites or streets being worked on. They are more varied and are always seen together.
Builders are now seen working on different activities. They can be using shovels, hammers or drills on the dirt of construction yards and holes in streets. Some are just talking to others or standing in the street while holding a sign to warn drivers there is a working area ahead. Workers in GTA IV also seem to keep to regular working hours: they'll often not be present in the overnight hours, but will appear once dawn breaks.
- Mike Griffin is disguised as a builder, having the same model as many of them.
- Although the vehicles that builders are seen driving are industrial vehicles, they are actually not vehicles that builders would normally drive in or around a construction site.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Jeff and Maeve, the dear friends and culinary artists behind what's coming below, knew this cake would be censored in order to ease up on decorating costs.
Inside the box lies my custom-designed, 28th birthday cake, emblazoned with a hilarious and offensive in-joke, and the most thrilling trio of maple, pretzel & peanut butter that has ever existed (to me, anyway). I doubt it could ever happen again, unless Evan was involved.
It was amazing, and I was joking earlier about the decor, because I thought it was all fantastic! I hadn't seen a cake this exciting since my sophomore year of college and the Alec Baldwin-penis cake from Sweet-N-Nasty bakery. A positive, maturing night to remember, nearly a decade before.
The big semi-reveal:
Friends. Portland. Vegetable Gifts. Vegan Cake. Love 'em.
p.s. Naturally, I went to Portobello for dinner on my birthday and swooned over pan-fried gnocchi with summer squash. It's a Portland vegan tradition.

Shoot straight. Conserve ammo. And never, EVER cut a deal with a dragon.
Shadowrun Returns brings back one of our most original & cherished game settings as a 2D turn-based RPG for tablets & PC.
I supported this game on Kickstarter because I think there should be more beautifull 2D RPG's and the fact that I played the actual RPG (books, dices etc…). This one is also going to be made for Android which is the main reason I supported it.
Take a look at some concept art which gives an impression about the ingame look and feel.
So what do you guys think?

I really wonder how they could fit all the answers into just two more arcs. I think that EP7 will be the last "REVEAL" arc and EP8 will be the "Matsuribayashi-hen-esque" arc where they work together to stop the murders or whatever. ("AND WE BELIEVED IN THE HEART OF THE CARDS~")
Do you guys think we'll have any "extra" arcs, kinda like Higurashi Matsuri? Or do you think they won't fit well? I'm sure we'll have something like Rei, though.

Umineko is much different than Higurashi because
Spoiler for Higurashi Kai:
Rei, on the other hand, is almost a given, considering how Saikoroshi-hen is a true "epilogue" to the series. It would be interesting to do an "ending" arc. And Umineko Daybreak

Just wanted to point out that Ryuukishi has clearly said that EP5 and onward should not be called answer arcs. This is apparently the reason that he didn't add 'kai' to the end of the name.
Instead of answering the questions of the question arcs one by one like in Higurashi, they'll apparently continue to tell the story while delving deeper into the core of the mystery.
So I guess they should be called the "Latter Arcs"...or as I like to call them, the "Core Arcs".

Ok this may sound like a completely far fetched theory (tiny bombs anyone?) but please stick with me here and if anyone has already come up with anything similar I apologize.
My idea goes that Battler is actually part of the cause of the murders although not the actual culprit. This relates to his "sin" which takes place 6 years prior to the main storyline. We all know Battler has not been a part of the Ushiromiya family for six years, and Ange is at the time of the murders six years old. Now the way it goes is Battlers mom dies and his dad hooks up with Kyrie and they get married and have a daughter. Well Battler feels as if everything is being stolen from him and wishes ill upon the Ushiromiya family, another reason why he ends up leaving the family and changes his name. So after six years he calms down and forgets about the wish he makes and returns to the family. As we know severe forms of malice and ill will in this series tend to manifest themselves in the form of the black witch. This would explain why Battler manages to survive to the end of each of the EPs since he in a way caused the incident.
I know it makes virtually no sense but at this point I would say almost anything is possible..... except of course WITCHES!

All the same, I wonder what he meant with scatter (chiru). Double-Slit experiment reference, perhaps? He's already brought Schroedinger's cat into play.

So, I don't know if anyone else has thought this, but I've got a theory about Battler and Ange.
Well first off, I have an anti-magic standpoint on Umineko, so a lot of things are harder to explain. For example, I think the whole time travel thing with Ange is crock. So if Ange and Battler both meet, what does this mean?
Well first off, I'm pretty sure it's a red statement that she's his sister, so it's not like everything can be explained just with her being delusional. But I still think she is slightly delusional, which is made pretty obvious in Ep 4.
Anyway, I think Battler was actually Kyrie's child and Ange was Asumu's. Both Ange and Battler are 18, so agewise it fits perfectly. I can't really piece it all together, so it's kind of a scattered theory, but I think I'm on the right track. Like, for some reason Kinzo never seems to mention Ange when talking about his grandchildren and she doesn't have a spot at the dinner table. In Episode 1 it's kind of understandable maybe as the writer just not having the foresight at that point, with the scope of everything. But it's the same thing in Episode 4, which gets a bit strange.
So yeah.

Actually, this theory might work:
The one we know as Battler: Kyrie's kid.
The one we know as 1998 Ange: Asumu's kid.
The one we know as 1986 Ange: Kyrie's second kid.
1998 Ange was somehow raised in Hinamizawa by Amakusa, Kasai's cousin delusional and thought she was, well, 1998 Ange, and her family had been murdered. She got someone else from Kasai's family to drive her to somehow got to Rokkenjima and yeah, all the freaky Meta-World stuff happened. She had the delusions of the Stakes, Maria and all that jazz before this, of course.
So yeah.
(Now I must work on my own crazy theory xD)

The pending release of Episode 5 is having me worried. There are a few threads where new Episode content can be posted without warning for the ones waiting for the translation (music thread, experienced vn readers thread, etc.). Yes, there are spoiler tags, but I'm still worried. Being spoiled that Maria died in the 2nd twilight was a big spoiler to me when it was posted back then.
Ah, at this rate I'm avoiding the potential threads when Ep.5 comes out this weekend.

Your answer makes so much more sense though. Obviously only the people who see things a certain way are privy to enter the Truth Club.

Super Scene
Basement Films is bringing "Supermarket" to the Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice on Friday, May 30. What the hell is "Supermarket"? you may ask. It's "an experimental dose of original electronic music and imagery, delivered in equal emphasis." Break beats of varying tempos from dub to drum and bass will be mixed with animated and celluloid imagery for a dual-natured assault on the senses. Australian animator/experimental film dude Dan Monceaux will be there jamming out the sequenced beats and collected samples on his retro analogue synthesizers while trippy visual work from Emma Sterling flickers around him. The show gets underway at 8:30 p.m. and will run you a mere $7. An artist talk follows. The Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice is located at 202 Harvard SE.

Speed Racer Cell Phone
What do kids who loved Speed Racer want to play with? Cars? Racetracks? Hell, no! They want a fake cell phone. According to the manufacturer, this plastic contraption "captures the fun and excitement of the Summer 2008 hit movie Speed Racer." (Boy, that sentence is wrong on several counts.) It's also described as "a fun way for boys to feel like they are staying in touch with Speed as he prepares to race." Note to kids: Driving and talking on your cell phone is illegal in most cities.

E.T. goes overseas in Stephen Chow's oddball assemblage
Actor/director/writer/producer Stephen Chow is a superstar in Asia. His films often outgross those of legends like Jackie Chan. But in America, his works have long divided fans of Hong Kong film into "love him/hate him" camps. Early slapstick-and-sight-gag-filled films like Sixty Million Dollar Man, God of Cookery and Royal Tramp please as many as they annoy. Since the international success of his last two kung fu-based flicks, Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, however, Chow's popularity in America has risen considerably.

What's up for fall?
NBC--Executives at the Peacock Network seem to have taken the lessons of the recent Writers' Guild strike to heart. Earlier this month, as the networks laid out their fall 2008 schedules, NBC offered up a 52-week program strategy featuring staggered launches and premieres throughout the year. Gone are the traditional fall and spring season premieres. In their place are new shows designed to take advantage of NBC's vaunted "Super Season" of events, including the Olympics and the Super Bowl. Set to debut at some point are "America's Toughest Jobs" and "Shark Taggers" (both blue-collar reality shows from the makers of "Deadliest Catch"), "Chopping Block" (another reality chef competition), "Crusoe" (drama about a modern-day castaway), "Kath and Kim" (remake of an Australian sitcom), "Kings" (knights, kings and maidens apparently set in modern times), "Knight Rider" (remake of the '80s classic), "The Listener" (a paramedic who can read minds), "Merlin" (teen-based retelling of the myth), "My Own Worst Enemy" (suburban spy thriller), "Thee Philanthropist" (renegade billionaire tackles global poverty with extreme prejudice) and an as-yet-unnamed spin-off of "The Office."

They had planned for everything ‑ almost.
They had planned for everything — almost.
More than a dozen agencies — local, county, state and federal — were coordinating and had built up high tech call centers. Tampa's emergency managers talked morning, noon and night with the Secret Service, which plays by its own rules.
About two-thirds of the Tampa police force would be on the ground, and the city had embedded agents in groups that planned to demonstrate outside the Republican National Convention, a national stage with international audience.
It was airtight, emergency managers say, a model for how cities should manage a so-called political Super Bowl.
Then, Tropical Storm Isaac came spinning through the Gulf of Mexico, presenting a Catch-22 all too familiar to emergency managers.
Isaac — which would ultimately become a hurricane — was picking up steam, posing the threat of a disaster that could derail two years of planning ahead of a critical election.
As it often does, the big question came down to Tampa Emergency Manager Tom Forward: Should we cancel?
If Tampa canceled the event over a little rain, the city's reputation would be sullied on a national scale. If they did not, and a storm blew through, officials would be inviting tragedy.
The quandary is a common scenario for emergency managers, who, every hurricane season, face decisions on whether to evacuate, when and over how wide of an area. In this case, with more than 2,000 delegates and 50,000 expected visitors converging, the stakes were high.
The answer was deflection.
"We're not going to tell you when to pull the plug on your RNC," Tom Forward, Tampa's fire chief and top emergency manager, recalled thinking. "The city of Tampa and the state of Florida is not going to get pie on our face for interrupting a gathering this huge.
"We said, 'If you see us running, you might want to run, too.' "
The decision to leave the call to those who know more about political theater than the dangers of hurricanes amplified the interplay of politics during natural disasters, a prominent theme at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans this week.
Isaac ultimately saved its worst for metropolitan New Orleans and delayed the political convention by only a day. But the planning by Tampa, Hillsborough County and other state and federal agencies was tested in the days before and after Isaac and stands to become a model for local governments bracing for storms.
"We had to rewrite the book on this," said John Bennett, Tampa's deputy police chief. "We almost had 100 percent our resources on the ground from Day One, and we had a hurricane coming."
The city is expected to release a report April 1 detailing successes and pitfalls from Isaac's brush with the convention. On Wednesday, Tampa Bay area officials provided a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes decisions that kept the event going.
Tampa officials called in emergency services staff two days early because of Isaac, and on the fly had to refocus efforts from policing and event management to possible disaster management.
"They were out of their element," Forward says of the Republican Committee leaders and officials who braced themselves for Isaac. "If we canceled their RNC for a little bit of rain, they would have thrown it back in Tampa's face, Florida's face."
As far as managing protesters goes, Isaac was a blessing in disguise, said Hillsborough Emergency Manager Preston Cook.
"I think some people were happy a hurricane came through because it changed the tone of the protesters," he said.
Many of the buses carrying demonstrators to Tampa had been scared off by Isaac, or the insurance risks of heading into a region where a state of emergency had been declared. Only two arrests were attributed to the RNC.
Still, in the day before the storm hit, hundreds of staff and emergency managers had to call an audible to respond not only concerns of safety but reputation.
Before forecasters and hurricane experts Forward offered some simple advice:
"Don't have a hurricane," he said, using a colorful acronym for the storms as propensity for upending the best-laid plans.

Five US carriers, nearly identical devices, millions and millions of pre-orders, virtually simultaneous launch - and that's just the US. The Galaxy SIII might be hideous, Samsung is still doing something right here. No surprise, then, that Apple has, once again, decided to compete in the court room instead of on the shelves: they're asking for a US import ban on the SIII [FOSS Patents link].

Yes, it would make them sturdier, just not in white, or any color for that matter. Carbon fiber should be carbon fiber colored, whether they be fenders, clutch covers trellis frames or cellphone cases.
Most "exotic" material I can recall on phones were the old Ericsson (before Sony Erricsson) models having magnesium-alloy frames of some sort. Only carbon fiber chassis I've seen on phones were those overpriced Vertu models.
Price and yield ratio are probably the biggest factors. Machining is either too expensive and slow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-OXRgn4LRw), and hand weaving is simply impractical for anything outside MotoGP and F1.

A joint venture by three New Jersey residential developers — AST Development, Sterling Properties and Heartstone Development — today announced the start of construction at Metro Rahway, a rental community of 116 upscale residences across from the Rahway train station.
The project will transform a former industrial site into a transit-oriented development in walking distance to shopping, restaurants and the arts.
On 1.6 acres along Campbell Street, Metro Rahway will be a four-story building with a mix of one- and two-bedroom residences featuring 9-foot ceilings and ceramic-tiled kitchens.
"People are looking for the type of community where they can walk to everything, and that's what this will be," said Rosanne Brooks, Sterling Properties' director of sales and marketing. "It will attract people who are commuting into Manhattan and empty nesters looking to downsize who need a little bit of convenience."
She said Metro Rahway should be complete and ready to begin leasing in late spring of 2014. The rental rates have not yet been set.
The train station serves NJ Transit's North Jersey Coast and Northeast Corridor lines to midtown Manhattan. Other Metro Rahway amenities include a fitness studio and clubroom with WiFi.
"Metro Rahway will embrace the rich culture and lively arts scene of its home city," said AST Development Project Executive Shane Soranno. "We look forward to cutting the ribbon on what will surely be a transformative development for the city of Rahway."

Rated 5 out of 5 by sbrya28 from DEFINITELY A MUST-HAVE FOR SUMMER! I finally got mine last night (I ordered the Small Petite). When I tell you, I was so pleased with this dress, I put it on right away and went out! I'm so glad I bought the Petite length; I can actually wear this with flats and it doesn't drag on the ground! The colors are so complimentary to each other, and the material is thick but not too much so it doesn't weigh you down. I also love that you can wear a bra with this, or not if you don't need to. The only thing I didn't like was where the white fabric is; it's right there along the stomach, so if you have a little pooch like I do, it may be noticeable. I didn't care all that much, because overall this is one of the best Bebe maxi dresses out there. I got so many stares and compliments during my short time with this dress on running errands; I can't wait to wear this for a fun sunny outing!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 16, 2004) - The East Tennessee State University men's basketball team - the two-time defending Southern Conference champions - opened preseason practice for the 2004-05 season Saturday at Memorial Center.
Second-year head coach Murry Bartow put his squad through its paces with a two-hour morning session and another two-hour afternoon workout. The squad - which has enjoyed two straight trips to the NCAA Tournament -- returns eight players from last year, including senior James Anthony (Tampa, Fla.) and juniors Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.), Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) and Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.).
The Bucs, who were picked to finish atop the Southern Conference North Division for a fifth-straight year at the SoCon's preseason media tipoff event earlier in the week, will open their 2004-05 season at home on Nov. 20 against UVa.-Wise. In addition to the high team expectations, Smith was named the SoCon's preseason player of the year.
With the successes of recent years, including a 27-6 record a year ago, Bartow was asked if his team feels any added pressure as it enters this season.
"I don't think so," Bartow said. "Every year is different and every year is a new year. I've always said you want high expectations because when you have high expectations you must have pretty good players. We think we're going to have another good year and who knows how many wins that will bring, but we think we have a chance to have a good team."
Fans of ETSU basketball are invited to be a part of the preseason excitement Sunday, as both the men's and women's teams will host Fan Appreciation Day in Brooks Gym at Both teams will participate in scrimmages, and fans will have the opportunity to win door prizes and get their favorite player's autograph.

A Phase II/III Trial of Lopinavir/Ritonavir Dosed According to the WHO Pediatric Weight Band Dosing Guidelines
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

|Condition or disease
|Drug: Lopinavir/ritonavir
|Phase 2 Phase 3
Because of previous exposure to nevirapine or other non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), either by direct treatment or through their mothers in pregnancy, infants must often receive an alternate antiretroviral regimen that includes LPV/r. Dosing of LPV/r is currently based on a child's specific weight, and calculations of proper dosages are often too complicated to be practical in busy clinics, particularly those in limited resource settings. In order to simplify medication delivery and reduce prescribing errors, the WHO has released a dosing schedule for LPV/r based on groupings of infants and children by weight. This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerance of LPV/r dosed according to these guidelines. The following strata were used to guide accrual:
Number of Participants to be Enrolled by Weight Band:
3-4.9 kg: 11 liquid
5-6.9 kg: 11 liquid
7-9.9 kg: 17 liquid
10-16.9 kg: 11 liquid, 22 tablet
17-19.9 kg: 11 tablet
20-24.9 kg: 11 tablet
Participation in this study will last 6 months. Infant participants and their caretakers will need to attend study visits at entry and Weeks 2, 4, 12, and 24. At entry, participants will be given LPV/r either in liquid or tablet form, depending on whether they can swallow pills. Dosing will be calculated using the WHO schedule. At all study visits, participants will undergo a physical exam and caretakers will be asked about how well the child is taking the study medications. In addition, at Weeks 4, 12, and 24, blood samples will be taken from the participant to determine health and levels of the medication in the body. The visit on Week 4 will also require pharmacokinetic testing, which means the child will need to be monitored at the hospital for 12 hours and complete six additional blood drawls. All other study visits will last 1 to 2 hours.

We already knew Lauren Conrad was a peach, and now, her hair color matches her perky personality. The former reality starlet dyed the ends of her hair peach last week, after asking her Beauty Department readers if she should take the pinky plunge.
The designer (and soon-to-be beauty mogul) Tweeted some pictures of the process Wednesday, showing the results on her website Friday. Her look was inspired by an orange hue she saw on the runway, and jokingly, a peach-haired My Little Pony.
This change caps off a year of major hair changes for Conrad: in January she went brunette, returning to her golden hue in June. In July, she made another change, dip-dying the ends of her hair in shades of pink, blue, green and purple. A few weeks later she made the look more subtle, showcasing just a few hints of blue. Then after a return to blonde, she picked the current peach shade.
There are still 10 weeks left in the year — think she'll change her look again soon?

So this week I've come away skiing with my best friend Jemma and my family. We always try to come away for New Year just to take a bit of time out in the mountains and spend quality time together chatting round a log fire. It's moments like this I treasure forever. This year there hasn't been much snow but we've had lots of time to relax and laugh. Jemma has the most amazing blog called Sensitive Shell which you can read here. She has very sensitive skin and eczema and can't have dairy, yet she finds the best products that really work for her and I can't recommend it enough if you are looking for products like that or just want a really good read with the most incredible photos and a good laugh. Go and say hi!
When I'm away in the snow I pretty much go makeup free but I binge on the best of the best for winter skincare and rely on it to keep my skin hydrated without breaking out in spots. I'm super picky with skincare. The main thing I struggle with is lips, so I bring three! The first, my Kiehls Lip Balm #1 which is really good at protecting lips against the cold and wind. I use this when I'm skiing as it doesn't really smell and has SPF in it. Then I bring my Nuxe Reve de miel which is a really intense thick lip mask which I use at night to repair my lips. It's got a really subtle floral smell but is a bit too thick to wear in the day for me so I put this on before bed. It's packed with plant extracts, oils and shea butter so if you're looking for a bit of a repair product, this is it. Finally I've got my Clarins lip comfort oil in honey which has fast become a fave for me the last month. I love Clarins because their products are filled with plant extracts and this leaves your lips really soft but is super shiny and smells really sweet. It's great at night if you love gloss like I do. Plus the applicator holds a huge amount of product so you don't have to apply loads.
My hands are always incredibly dry skiing so this year I've bought my L'Occitane almond hand cream and all the girls have been using this mainly because it smells so lovely! It contains both almond milk and almond oil but is really light so your hands don't feel sticky. I've packed my beauty staple Caudalie Beauty Elixir mini which is always in my travel bag. I usually hate face sprays, I don't get the point of them, but this one is incredible. It's made from grape extract and packed with anti-oxidants which leave my skin feeling so fresh. It smells of mint which I love and I use this as a toner. I've really got into using serums after my sister telling me the importance of using them (she has great skin) and I since my Superdrug one ran out I've been using the Sarah Chapman age repair serum. This is a range I've wanted to try for a while but have always resisted……why oh why didn't I try this before! Oh my goodness, this has made my skin look so much smoother and I am noticing such a difference in the way my skin looks. It's got peptides in which for me really helps to plump my skin without feeling greasy. It's £48 but probably the best serum I've ever owned. The overnight facial is next on my list to try! I'm a firm believer in finding cheaper makeup but if you're going to spend your money, spend it on skincare. You won't regret it.
My cleanser is my go-to yearly favourite Aurelia miracle cleanser which has won loads of awards and not surprisingly. First of all the smell is absolutely gorgeous. It's got eucalyptus, bergamot and chamomile so I really look forward to putting this on. It's probiotic skincare so is doing a lot to help the skin. It's really creamy and great at pulling all the makeup off, you use this with a hot cloth so it really opens up all the pores and feels lovely. My skin looks so much brighter when I've used this. Next up exfoliation, and I've got my Goldfaden MD Doctors scrub. I've talked about this lots this year and am pretty stuck at only wanting to use this because I can't find a better one. It's certainly not cheap at £65, but it contains ruby crystals and is basically a microdermabrasion exfoliator so get ready for a serious scrub! At first I didn't think I would like this, but after using it three of four times my skin got used to this and now I used it every other day and nothing else will get rid of the rough patches I struggle with.
For my day eye cream I've got my Elemis pro-radiance illuminating eye balm. I had been waiting for years for Elemis to bring out a decent eye cream as I felt like it was missing from their range, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. It's got chamomile and arnica in so it really nourishes but for me the best part is the cooling applicator. It's so lovely putting this on. It's also got blurring powder in it and brighteners so it blurs the under eye area almost like a really subtle concealer. You don't need much of this product at a time. For my day cream when I'm not skiing I've got the Body Shop Drops of Youth moisturiser. I've dabbled in the Body Shop skincare but this is hands down my favourite so far. As I said, I'm super picky with skincare, but this is one I can see myself sticking with as I'm really impressed with the results. I loved their drops of youth range but I think this is going to be popular for people looking for an everyday moisturiser that is great for combination skin but also gives you a slight blurring effect. I'm all about plumping now and this is really good for that. Used with the Sarah Chapman serum, this looks incredible. It's so affordable and I would put this up with some of my high end day moisturisers.
At night I swap things up a bit and change to my First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra-firm Sleeping Cream. This is a really good overnight facial. If you're looking for serious hydration but don't want something that feels heavy and oily, then this is it. I loved the day version of this, but this is a more intense version and really helps to firm and hydrate my skin with the conditioning butters. It doesn't really smell of much, so would be good if you're not overly wowed by products that smell or have sensitive skin. For my eye cream I've got my Caudalie eye lifting balm. I'm really trying to prevents any wrinkles and fine lines as I know they are not far around the corner and to be honest I already have quite a few. This is packed with peptides so it's going to give you all the help you need with helping to lift the eyes, prevent ageing and smooth over any fine lines.
Just because I'm skiing, doesn't mean I don't want to be hair free so I've packed my Venus snap razor. Venus razors are pretty much the only ones I will ever use because I can shave in a hurry and won't be covered in cuts. They usually have four of five blades and if you use them with the Olay head then you've got loads of moisture going onto your skin and you don't need to use a shaving cream. The snap is the same head but a smaller handle and comes with a really handy case that means your razor is well protected. I use this at home when I'm away for the night. Then for a bit of a face mask detox I've got my Soap and Glory Fab Pore mask and peel. This is so good at getting rid of blemishes and spots that I have. It really gently gets rid of dead skin cells and helps to shrink pores as well as getting rid of any excess oil which I really struggle with.
I love the mountain water because my hair always feel so soft. I am so lazy with washing my hair when I'm away and I get through so much dry shampoo. My current favourite is the Alberto Balsam clear and fresh which has a green tea and citrus scent. This is probably the best smelling dry shampoo I own because it's so fresh. It doesn't irritate my scalp and doesn't leave my hair feeling gritty or looking white. So it gets all the ticks from me. Shampoo and conditioner wise I actually forgot mine so I managed to find one of my current faves from L'Oreal Paris. I've been using the Extreme Total Repair and it's left my hair looking and feeling so healthy which I can't seen to find online in the UK but here is the Total Repair which is my UK favourite. Everytime someone asks me about the best drugstore shampoo I will usually direct them to L'Oreal Paris. They are just as good as some of my high end ones and I don't understand how they are able to sell them for the price they are because the formula is just incredible. Luckily I didn't forget my L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 CICA Cream. This is my third bottle! You can put this on when your hair is wet or dry and it really helps damaged hair to smooth the ends and keep it looking shiny and healthy all day long. My affordable hair hero.
Finally, when I'm out on the slopes and need some serious SPF. I've got my Clarins UV Plus Day Screen (SPF 50) which again has all the plant extracts you'd expect from Clarins but is one of the very few higher SPFs that doesn't leave you looking white as a ghost or with a thick layer of grease on your face. I love it. And no burn at the end of the day which is always a huge test for me of sun screens!
Because it's New Year and I'm all about reflecting and planning, I've been listening to loads of music whilst i'm out here. My headphones are from Claires and I just fell in love with the design. The sound is pretty good considering how affordable they are too. My diary is from Paperchase. It was a present and I just love the glitter on it. I've written down so many goals and hopes for next year, mainly to take more time with family and to relax more. Life is so precious, make the most of every moment. So i'll leave you with this quote. I have realised in 2015 I've held on to a lot that perhaps hasn't been good for me. Stress from work, friendships that haven't been that good, feelings about love that can't be changed. So as hard as it is, 2016 for me is going to be all about letting go and moving forward. Here's to the year of letting go and embracing the 'right now'. What's your favourite quote? Becky xxx

Brothers in Arms: The Leones
Nitro and Glycerin
Anthony and Andrew Leone formed a potent combination as kids.
Editor's note: This is the first in a multi-part series highlighting brotherly connections in MMA.
The boxing ring was old, hidden away underground somewhere in a side street of a dingy neighborhood in the Bronx. Techno music pounded the ears and bodies of the 80, perhaps 100, people packed onto the bleachers to enjoy an evening of unsanctioned, unregulated and probably illegal fights at the Underground Combat League.
Anthony Leone entered the ring. It was the first fight of the night -- and of Leone's young mixed martial arts career. Twenty minutes before, he had agreed to the rules. Eye gouging was a no; stomps, head butts and hair pulling were fair game. Two weeks before, he had begun his MMA training.
"I had no idea what to expect," said Leone, who had just finished a successful run as a high school wrestler. "The owner of my MMA gym offered me the fight, and I thought, 'Great, I get to try this.'"
In the ring, his wrestling training kicked in.
"I took [my opponent] down and kneed him in the face until he tapped," Leone said.
Andrew Leone watched his brother's win from the audience. Two years younger than Anthony, he was still in high school. He was also an accomplished wrestler, so when one of the event's fighters withdrew at the last minute, he jumped at the opportunity to follow his brother's footsteps into the ring.
The Leones took home their first victories that night. Since that promising beginning six years ago, the brothers have traveled far in their fighting careers.
Anthony, 25, has led the way with a 12-5 record, including a recent upset win over former Bellator MMA bantamweight champion Zach Makovsky; Andrew, at 5-2, has made a name for himself in Asian promotions such as Road Fighting Championship and Pacific Rim Organized Fighting.
Currently, the Leones are united at Phuket Top Team in Thailand, where they are coaching, training and preparing for the next stage of their respective careers.
"These two provide a lot of character to the gym," said Boyd Clarke, the PTT owner. "They are solid brothers. They train together, surf together, live next door to each other and even compete with each other."
So much harmony between the brothers might come as a surprise to anyone who watched them grow up together in Center Moriches, N.Y., on Long Island. For most of those years, their mother raised them alone, though their father, a chef, would drive up every weekend from Maryland to see them. Their mother's second marriage gave them a younger, severely autistic brother, Brandon, and a sister, Olivia.
"Anthony and Andrew gave me a run for my money," said their mother, psychiatrist Shimane Devlin. "They couldn't even be in the same room together."
"I remember us always wrestling and trying to beat each other up," Andrew said.
File Photo
Anthony is 12-5 as a pro.
"My brother was always trying to get underneath my skin, and he was so good at it, too," he said. "We had a bunk bed, and Andrew would always pull the covers off me when I was sleeping. I'd wake up freezing. I think I hated my brother for most of the years growing up. Good that I was two years older and bigger than him. He got his fair share of beatings from me, but he did more of the mental harassing."
Their antics earned them the nicknames "Nitro" and "Glycerin." As early as possible, their mother channeled this explosive energy into more productive pursuits. The Leones began to wrestle as young children and, after a hiatus, continued onto their small high school's nascent wrestling team. Both became team captains and county champions. Anthony went undefeated as a senior, while Andrew earned two-time All-State honors in New York. After graduating in 2005, Anthony was finished with high school but not with wrestling.
"It was always on my mind," he said. "I was missing some type of competition."
Anthony saw wrestlers excelling in the MMA fights he sometimes watched on TV, so he found a nearby gym and started training. Never far behind, Andrew soon joined in. Although their mother was skeptical, she was not one to hold her sons back. When Anthony and Andrew were younger, Devlin worked full-time and went to school to become a psychiatrist, but she always made a point of being at all their matches and cheering them on.
"I was a strict mom," she said. "There was no TV, no cursing and definitely no drugs, but we had fun -- we're all huge practical jokers -- and I made sure that every year we went to see a Broadway show and we took annual trips out of the country."
Most importantly, Devlin always encouraged her sons to pursue their dreams, so when the Leones' Underground Combat League fights rolled around, she was again at ringside to provide support. Eight months later, when Anthony decided he was moving to Hawaii, she gave him her blessing, as long as he went to college.
With Anthony's departure to the University of Hawaii at Hilo, the Leone's paths split for the next several years, as each carved out his own path in the fighting world.
In Hawaii, Anthony was less interested in the university than its proximity to former two-division Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder B.J. Penn's MMA academy.
"Getting accepted took months and months of persistence," he said. "I was there every day for all the jiu-jitsu classes, trying to get into the MMA team, but they didn't take a liking to me. Seven months into that, I just showed up for the MMA class and invited myself in. They let me. I wish I'd done that much earlier."
Among the highlights of his year at the academy was serving as a training partner for Penn, who was at the time preparing for a title bout against Sean Sherk at UFC 84.
"I was definitely getting beat up the whole time," Anthony said, "but I got to learn a lot."
Days after winning his first professional fight in a Hawaiian promotion, he returned home to New York and started coaching MMA and Brazilian jiu-jitsu at a Long Island gym. However, he was not learning much in the process. His chance to further expand his horizons as a fighter came with an invitation to join Ryan Ciotoli's Team Bombsquad in Cortland, N.Y. Living in Ciotoli's basement with friend Kenny Foster, now also a Bellator veteran, Anthony strung together an 8-0 record in a variety of regional shows.
Then, in June 2010, came the long-awaited call from World Extreme Cagefighting. Anthony had been paired with Renan Barao.
Andrew took his own stab at college, earning a wrestling scholarship to Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo. However, studying and training as a redshirt freshman while working for additional financial support was difficult, and Anthony had already set the tone by embarking on his fighting adventure. After a year and half of college, Andrew left for Thailand.
"It was really Anthony's idea," he said. "He'd just read 'A Fighter's Heart' and said I needed to go. Plus, I saw a lot of my friends and Anthony's friends graduating and either going back to the hometown or back to school, or they couldn't get a job. Because Anthony went to Hawaii, I knew it was possible. He has been setting the bar, and when I see all these new things happen, I feel that I can do them and reach that level, too."
Finish Reading » "He's at a point in his career where he's ready to take advantage of opportunities coming to him, physically and mentally. There isn't anything or anyone that he can't beat right now or eventually."

If a mile away can be classified as "right under my nose," then back in Detroit, a Capuchin-supported bakery named On the Rise has been operating for two years right under my nose.
Detroit's my hometown. On the Rise is about one mile from where I grew up, and about one mile from where I go to Mass on Sundays when I am in Detroit. It's also a block from the church where my mother was married and buried.
During a visit home from Washington, I heard about the bakery at the end of Mass last week and was determined to seek it out. It was easy enough to find. The bakery boasts many artisanal breads and coffees, but for my immediate needs, I purchased a peach pie for an after-Mass gathering. The father of the gathering's host proclaimed it as "the best peach pie I've ever tasted."
On the Rise has been taking its wares on the road as of late to parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit, almost in the style of missionary priests on fundraising duty after having spent several years out of the country. Here, though, the bakers are providing intrigued shoppers a tangible good from an economically distressed section of a city itself in dire economic straits, which proves that good things can indeed come from unlikely places.
And since — like any bakery worth its salt — On the Rise makes doughnuts, my Catholic community in Detroit is considering putting in a standing order for them every Sunday after Mass. I can hardly wait to return.

Dior Crème Abricot, Now Less Precious
Dior's Crème Abricot Nail Cream ($25) has become something of a cult classic, beloved as much for its effective formula as it is for its pretty porcelain-like packaging. The rich cream, developed in 1963, conditions cuticles while nourishing nails, making them look better immediately, but actually strengthening (and growing!) them over time. The feminine jar looks great on a nightstand, which is just as well since Dior recommends rubbing the apricot-colored salve into your fingertips before bed, but they've just released an on-the-go version featuring the same active ingredients in a non-oily serum form. The Huile Abricot Daily Nutritive Serum ($25), packed with argan oil, vitamin E, and apricot oil (surprise!) comes in a little plastic tube with a brush on the end making it easy to pop a drop on each nail and blend. Taking better care of your nails from the bottom up will make any manicure last longer and look better—we promise.

If you could have one past or current player on MGoBlog...
If you could pick one current or past Michigan football player to post in the comments regularly, who would it be? I began thinking that Denard would be my obvious choice of current players, but then I started thinking more and I have to say that my number one choice would be Taylor Lewan. I think Lewan would be a funny poster who knows a ton about the "situation on the ground" right now, and knows the team personally.
I'm not sure about my pick for past player; Woodson is too obvious for me to pick in an OP. I'd have to say I'll take the second most obvious pick and go with Desmond Howard, since he would likely have great stories from his time here, and he has his ESPN contacts currently.
Anyway, is there a past or current player that you would love to see on MGoBlog? What's the reasoning behind your choice?

How To Blind Bake a Pie Crust
The whole concept of blind baking a pie crust can sound rather intimidating to the uninitiated — particularly if you're already feeling intimidating by the idea of baking a whole pie to begin with. If this sounds like you, help is here! Blind baking is really nothing more than letting the pie crust bake for a little while on its own before you add the filling. It's an easy-peasy process made even easier once you know a few key steps.
What Is Blind Baking?
All we're talking about here is partially, or sometimes completely, baking the pie crust before you add the filling. You might wonder why we don't just throw the crust in the oven as it is — the answer is that as the crust bakes, pockets of steam cause the layers of pastry to puff up — very unhelpful when one's ultimate goal is to fill the pie with something else. The sides of the crust will also to sag before they start to crisp, leaving you with a not-so-attractive slouching effect.
The solution is to line the unbaked pie crust with parchment or aluminum foil and weight it down with something so that the bottom doesn't puff and the sides don't slouch. You can find special pie weights for this job, but you can also just use dry beans (about 1 1/2 pounds) or even the pennies from that jar you've been saving.
Once the crust is set — and you'll know this because the edges will turn golden — you remove the weights and let the crust cook a little longer on its own. For a partially baked crust, you want the bottom to look dry and flaky, but still pale. For a fully baked crust, look for the bottom to turn light golden. The whole process won't take more than 15 or 20 minutes.
When Do You Need to Blind Bake a Crust?
There are two times when blind baking is necessary: when we're making a custard pie or when the pie filling is unbaked. With a custard pie, like a pumpkin pie, the moisture in the filling can make the crust soggy before it has time to actually bake. Blind baking the crust until it's half-baked helps the crust stay firm. With an unbaked filling, like with a French silk pie, blind baking just makes sure the crust is fully baked before you add the filling.
But don't worry — you shouldn't have to guess very often. Your recipe will almost always tell you when blind baking is necessary. If you see a recipe that calls for a "cooked and cooled" pie crust, this is also another indicator that you'll need to blind bake the crust before making the recipe.
Docking vs. Pie Weights
You might see some recipes that call for blind baking the crust by "docking" the pie instead of using pie weights. This simply means to prick the crust all over with the tines of a fork. These pinhole pricks allow steam to escape, preventing the crust from puffing up, and has the advantage of being a little quicker and less fussy than using pie weights.
Personally, I still like using pie weights for the added support they give the sides as they're baking. If your filling is very liquidy, there's also some risk that the filling will seep into the holes and make the crust soggy.
Is That All I Need to Know?
Yup! These are the basic steps for blind baking a pie crust for any recipe you come across. Here are a few more resources to check out.

How To Blind Bake a Pie Crust
What You Need
1 9-inch pie crust
1 9-inch pie plate
Parchment paper or aluminum foil
Pie weights, dry beans, or pennies
Baking sheet
- Heat the oven and roll out the pie crust: Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the lower-middle position. Roll out the pie crust and transfer it to your pie plate as normal (see more on this here). Trim the edges and crimp.
- Line the pie with parchment: Cut off a large square of parchment paper or aluminum foil and use it to line the pie. Snug the lining right up against the edges and sides of the pie.
- Fill the pie with weights: Pour the pie weights into the pie dish. Make sure they cover the bottom of the pie and press against the sides of the pie. The weights on the bottom will keep the pie from puffing up and the weights against the sides will keep the sides from sagging as the crust bakes.
- Bake until the edges are barely golden: Place the pie on the baking sheet and bake until the edges of the crust are just starting to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven.
- Remove the pie weights: Grasp the corners of the parchment (or foil), and lift the weights out of the pie. Transfer them to a bowl or plate to cool. The bottom of the pie will still look wet and un-cooked at this point.
- Return the crust to the oven: Return the crust to the oven. Bake until the bottom looks dry, another 5 minutes. If the pie will not be cooked again with the filling, bake for another few minutes until the edges of the crust have browned and the bottom is lightly golden. The bottom crust will puff a bit as it bakes, but will deflate again when you remove the pie from the oven.
- Continue with the pie recipe: Check your recipe — some pies are assembled while the crust is still warm, others need the crust to be completely cooled.
