The two officers were attacked Wednesday night at a home on Oswego. The suspected shooter is also now in a hospital after police shot him.
"I tried. I even tried to take the gun away from him. He wouldn't give it to me," said Vanessa Alvarez, sister-in-law to the suspect.
Alvarez says even with the bullet holes and broken windows, it's hard to believe what happened inside her family's home Wednesday just as Jacinto City police arrived to speak to her brother-in-law, 17-year-old Edgar Cuellar. He was supposed to talk to authorities about a criminal case, but Alvarez says when he saw Lt. Dennis Walker and Sgt. Jennifer Simpson-Castaneda walking up, he tried to run.
"He was like facing this way, we were on the side of him and we were just telling him no just sit down and talk, and the cop just walked in, and when she walked in he just..." Alvarez said.
Police say Cuellar opened fire.
"I didn't know what to do. It was so unexpected. It was so unexpected. We ran back to the kitchen because they shot back. They shot back when he was shooting at them. And I just seen one officer fall to the ground," said Alvarez.
Both officers were shot -- Sgt. Castaneda in the arm and Lt. Walker in the chest.
"I took him to the kitchen and I tried to take the gun away from him I was like just give it to me! Please give it to me! Stop! Stop! My daughter is here! Please! And he was like, nah, nah they're going to kill me and I was like please, please just give me the gun, give me the gun," said Alvarez.
But he didn't. Alvarez, her 1-year-old daughter and her sister-in-law were able to escape, but Cuellar hid inside as a SWAT team swooped in, then more than six hours later.
A neighbor had his cell phone camera rolling as the suspect shot at police, who fired back. Authorities say Cuellar was shot in the legs and pulled from the bathroom.
Alvarez says she knew there were issues, but she never thought it would come to this.
"We tried talking to him to get him in to a mental hospital he didn't want to do it," she said. "I tried to help him so many time. I tried."

text: Surely not the update that Gixxer lovers were hoping for, the 2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000 sees a modest retooling as the Japanese company's liter bike most noticeably goes back to a single exhaust can design. Officially dropping 2kg (4.4 lbs) from its curb weight, we assume the weight savings to the new Suzuki GSX-R1000 can be accounted purely from the new exhaust layout, though Suzuki lists a number of small weight savings throughout the Gixxer's refined design. Despite a bevy of minor improvements, the big changes include the addition of a beefier midrange, better throttle response, Brembo monoblock calipers with .5mm thinner brake discs, and an improved fuel efficiency by 8%.

Oh, For The Love of Christ: Ken Shamrock Reportedly Facing James Quinn In a Bare Knuckle Boxing Match
("We're thinking of broadcasting it on PPV for the low-price of $109.95, including satellite fees … this is for the poster, right?"/ Photo via Getty)
As if the perils and inconsistent regulations of MMA weren't cringeworthy enough, it seems like the shift to boxing is the answer to when shit really hits the fan.
UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock announced through a press release on his website that he'll be duking it out against James Quinn in a bare knuckle boxing match, scheduled to take place sometime this April in the United Kingdom.
Here is an excerpt from the statement:
"Shamrock is in great health and feels invigorated by this opportunity to continue to compete and to continue giving back to his fans. Shamrock is going back to his roots as a fighter. Knowing his body well, Shamrock knows that his decision to re-enter the ring for the love of this sport is a sound decision. Shamrock adamantly believes that age should never be a restriction to any athlete. People can do amazing feats past their prime, if it's a priority to them.
"Shamrock knows that bare-knuckle boxing is a sport with great potential to grow well beyond where the sport is today. His involvement in this sport is to show support and help its success."
Now, apart from the hilariousness that is Shamrock building his entire website to announce this news, complete with sections devoted to limited merchandise, "Youth Outreach," and "Shamrock's Businesses" (including sections like Yes. I Am Learning The Stock Trade, the Shamrock Slam: Technical Fitness Drink, and Profit 101: Self-Defense & Fitness, all under the "Get Stuff" tab, we're hoping this does happen (because at this point, who the hell cares anymore), yet we're not exactly holding out for our hero…Read More DIGG THIS

Thousands of civilian personnel at Defense Department schools and commissaries will be furloughed because if across-the-board cuts from budget sequestration remain in effect, the Pentagon said Monday.
During his daily press briefing, Defense Press Secretary George Little told reporters that teachers and workers at commissaries could face one-day-a-week furloughs because of sequestration.
Little said the department was doing its best to ensure that the Department of Defense Education Activity schools maintained an accredited school year through the furloughs, though he noted it would be difficult. He added that summer school would not be affected by sequestration."We're mindful that we need to protect the education of military children," Little said.

High Line visitors are often surprised to see smiling faces gazing back at them, and even waving, from the windows of neighboring buildings toward the northern terminus of the park. After the initial double-take, it's easy to realize that these amusing locals are not flesh-and-blood people, but rather a playful ruse.
Artist and Chelsea resident Hyemi Cho has an apartment that overlooks the new section of the High Line, which opened in June, 2011. Cho was treated to some amazing views of the park, but the shy artist was apprehensive at first to her new-found proximity to a bustling public space. She channeled those feelings into a painting of herself peeking cautiously around the edge of a curtain, which she placed in her apartment window.
Cho was pleasantly surprised at the amused reaction of High Line visitors—many people stopped to take photos, laugh, and wave back. These positive interactions, including times where Cho herself would wave to visitors, led her to expand the project.
"At least five times a day I peek out," Cho told The Atlantic Cities, "And people are looking back at me. Now I don't feel isolated anymore."
Recruiting other neighbors, Cho created a series of portraits—a smiling shirtless man, a woman waving, a little girl with cookies—all peering out of their windows at visitors on the High Line.
Cho's first solo exhibition at the Nancy Margolis Gallery will kick off with an artist reception Thursday, January 26, from 6:00 - 8:00 PM, and will be on view until Saturday, February 25. Learn more about the exhibition.
You can also look forward to seeing Cho's paintings along the High Line again following the exhibition.

Cute collared dress for my sister
Added May 21, 2011
by cynthia-1
Wollongong, Aust...
I sewed my very own Cute collared dress (from burda #7494) back in February 2011 and my sister wanted me to sew one for her too. My brief: bright, summery, large floral print. Well here it is (and I even convinced her to model it!)
Again, I substituted the dress zipper with an invisible zipper and decreased the amount of pouf generated by the skirt back pleats. I added belt hooks at the side seams to fit a vintage belt. The skirt is lined as per pattern instructions. I didn't make the jacket included in the pattern.
Material Notes
Dress : Japan Lawn Artist Poppy, red 110cm ($11.95/metre from Spotlight); Collar: Top Pop Poplin, white 112cm ($3.99/metre from Spotlight); Interfacing; 60 cm invisible zipper, white; Pattern notes also suggest silk, taffeta, crepe (dress) and organza (collar)
- burdastyle paper pattern
- #7494

I am trying to sew this dress and having trouble with the instructions. You have done a wonderful job with yours and wondering if you can help me with the arm bias strip instructions? The instructions say " baste bias strips to armhole edges, right sides facing – open edges lie on allowances"
Does this mean that the raw edges of the bias strip lie on the 1cm seam allowance line on the bodice?
The next step is to "stitch bias strips in place, 1cm from the edge" – which is confusing if i put the edge of the bias strip on the seam allowance line, because i have two edges.
gosh am i making sense? haha

Nice job, Cynthia! Can I ask please what size you used? You sister loks a petite size, did you have to adjust? I have this problem with most of the patterns, the finished product looks a bit too big!

Hi Irina,
Thanks for your encouraging comments.
I cut the Australian size 8 which is roughly European size 34 or US size 2.
Burdastyle patterns are designed for height 168cm, so i had to shorten both bodice and skirt pieces. I usually make a toile and adjust as required. I also compared her measurements to the size chart included in the paper pattern. Website size chart can also be found at the bottom of Burdastyle pages under 'Website Help'
Hope this helps – Cynthia

Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today - December 4, 2013
Dead Synchronicity Showing at AdventureX in London - December 4, 2013
Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today is an in-progress point-and-click adventure. It will feature a traditional interface but, unlike graphical adventures nowadays, the developer wants a more "open" approach so that the player might explore the locations freely, as in old-school adventures.
The video above demonstrates the game's interface and mechanics, and displays both dynamic close-up dialog and DS-backgrounds in action.
A Kickstarter campaign is planned for March. The game's release date is TBD.

pLEASE HELP ME!! Its stucked on the LG logo then reboots!
Hey guys I need your help. I got into a boot loop on my g2. I transferred the zip files to flash and g apps to my g2 as normal and the battery died in the process. A few minutes later I forgot about that and automatically booted into recovery and and saw the files there so i flashed. Not realizing that they were corrupt and I didnt make a backup!!!!
pLEASE HELP ME!! Its stucked on the LG logo then reboots!
download another rom, try to get into recovery the hard way (press vol down and power button till it restart, when the screen flash, let it go and repress vol down and power button, it should ask you for factory reset, just ignore it.) hook up your phone Push the new download to your phone /sdcard then flash away.

Stem faculty flight from Florida universities to protect state's economic future
It's an exodus the state must stop, or badly damage its already unstable economic future.
We're talking about the brain drain of top talent at state universities as nationally known professors pack their bags and head to posts in states that pay more -- and where there's more support for excellence in higher education.
Experts in economics, robotics, molecular medicine, communication disorders such as dementia and other fields have already fled this year. And states such as Texas and North Carolina are heavily recruiting more key faculty, offering higher salaries and funds for high-tech research.
That's why -- despite a continued decline in state revenues -- the Florida Board of Governors is asking the Legislature to boost pay for professors and staff.
The Board, which oversees the university system, met in Jacksonville Thursday and approved a $3.7 billion budget request that includes $65 million to fund a 4 percent raise in next year's budget.
They should get it.
Faculty members have received raises only twice in the past five years. But it's not just about competitive pay rates for academics.
It's about not throwing away Florida's chance at reinventing itself as a state with a highly educated workforce prepared to compete for jobs and industry in a 21st century economy.
That's especially critical in the current slump.
And for the future of the Space Coast, which is direly in need of new economic engines to fill the blanks looming from post-shuttle job losses, and which is staring at its own brain drain of scientists and engineers as the program closes down.
There's talk, for example, of using facilities at Kennedy Space Center for high-tech start-ups such as alternative and green energy research. But to lure that kind of enterprise, you need strong universities cranking out the highly skilled workforce employers demand.
What do Florida universities have now? The reputation for being dead last in critical measures of excellence such as student-faculty ratios.
They're dropping in other national rankings as well, due to consistently stingy funding from the Legislature, which has been reluctant to allow tuition increases because it must pick up the tab for thousands of Bright Futures scholarships.
Schools are jacking tuition rates from 6 to 15 percent this year, but Florida colleges remain the cheapest in the nation.
That's only a bargain for students and parents as long as it buys a quality product.
Increasingly, it doesn't. Grappling with a 6 percent budget hit of about $130 million this year, the system is falling even farther behind.
Schools such as Florida State University and the University of Central Florida are eliminating faculty positions, dropping academic degree programs, and slashing services such as computer lab availability.
And cutting enrollment, leaving more Space Coast families with college-bound high school graduates closed out of their school of choice.
Small raises for faculty alone won't right what's wrong with Florida's universities.
But as part of an overall budget increase of 5 percent for 2009-10 the Board will submit to Gov. Charlie Crist, the pay hikes can help staunch the bleed of talent until the downturn ends.
And help secure Florida's shaky footing on the path to economic growth.

Dawn Harmes's dog Daisy is facing a long recovery after a harrowing coyote attack.
Harmes let Daisy out of her Eastern Passage home for a little backyard exercise at about 6:45 Friday evening. There are extensive woods around the property but Harmes has an underground electric fence so Daisy won't go too far.
"The last month or so, I've been hearing the coyotes kind of on a regular basis at night," Harmes said on Wednesday. "So the last week or so, I wasn't letting her out by herself. I was either taking her out on a leash or I was going out with her."
On Friday, she went out with Daisy but the dog wasn't on a leash.
Daisy is a beagle-Jack Russell terrier mix and moves pretty fast.
"It was less than two minutes from going out the front door. I was looking . . . to see where she went and I heard her yelping."
The attack
She started running toward where the yelping was coming from, and found Daisy with the coyote.
"She had gotten away from it, but I don't know if she had done it on her own or maybe because I had started screaming and startled the coyote or what.
"The coyote, he didn't even run. He turned and just walked back into the woods. (Daisy) ran to the house and I came running behind her."
That's when Harmes saw the trail of blood.
She didn't know the extent of the injuries at the time, but knew it was bad. Too shaken to drive, she called her father, who lives nearby, to help her rush Daisy to the Eastern Passage Village Veterinary Hospital.
"I was standing in the doorway, waiting for my father to come get us, and the coyote walked across the front yard. It freaked me right out."
Her father came within 10 minutes, though, and they took their wounded charge to the vet.
The aftermath
Harmes said the vet told her she could clean Daisy's injuries and stitch up some punctures. But the bites had punctured through her abdominal wall, threatening internal damage and the risk of infection
They had to take Daisy to the Metro Animal Emergency Clinic in Burnside for surgery.

There, Harmes learned the situation was dire. Daisy is 12-and-a-half years old and has a heart condition. The doctor asked her to consider making the most difficult decision any pet owner must make. The odds of making it through the surgery were 50-50 and the vet needed to assess the little dog's quality of life, asking if Daisy had mobility issues.
"I assured her Daisy's like a puppy," Harmes said. "She's bouncy. I think it's the Jack Russell in her. She just flies around all the time. She doesn't walk. She runs."
They decided to go ahead with the surgery.
Harmes said Dr. Karen Kaiser called her at 2 a.m. to say the surgery went well. They opened her up and checked extensively for damage. They found a puncture in her kidney and severe muscle damage on her side.
Daisy is home now but not out of the woods as far as her health is concerned. She must be given pain medication and antibiotics to combat the severe risk of infection.
"She seems to be doing OK. She's walking around. I'm taking her out to relieve herself and she's going out."
But Harmes said Daisy will never have the run of the property again.
Coyote attraction
Butch Galvez, a wildlife technician in Waverley with the Department of Natural Resources, said they see this sort of thing every year. It's a wooded area, it happened near dark and there was some separation between owner and pet. He said the dog likely knew immediately that the coyote was there and whether it was curiosity or territorial aggression is hard to say.
"It's an unfortunate incident," Galvez said. "We do follow up, so I will be going to the community and getting some brochures out. Education is probably the biggest thing, so people who have pets or outdoor cats, they know some basic things to keep their pets safe: Keep your dogs on leash, keep your dog close to you, if you do see a coyote and you have a small dog you can pick it up, make some loud noises, back away, that sort of thing."
Galvez said he will also talk with residents in the area to see if there have been previous sightings or if someone might have put out food for other wildlife. Even bird seed or apples will attract coyotes.
While Galvez said while attacks on humans are rare, it is recommended that children have basic awareness.
"If they see a strange dog, back away, make noise, act big," Galvez said. "Also, tell an adult if they ever see a strange-looking dog or coyote. And never run away. Their first instinct may be to run screaming. You never want to run away screaming from a coyote."

Yes, there has been Olympic knitting chez knitonepurltoo, but my Olympic sweater was completed in the wee hours of March 1, long after the closing ceremonies were over. I am not as broken up about this as I thought I might be; I made a valiant effort, I tried some new things (first yoked sweater!), but I ended up with a garment that didn't work out (which made staying up until 1:30 a.m. a bitter pill to swallow, let me tell you).
I knitted the Modern Garden Cardigan in DROPS Eskimo, colorway 29 (a spring green, which longtime readers could use to safely win bets on "What is Donna's favorite color?"). That cardigan is super-cute and very knitworthy, but it ended up being a high-stakes project for a few reasons, chief among them the fact that I did not get row gauge, and even though I was just one row off, I ended up with a cardigan 3″ longer than I expected as a result.
I didn't have a lot of maneuvering room in terms of needle size; the pattern calls for size 15 needles to give you a stitch gauge of 2 stitches to the inch, and I needed to go to size 17 needles to get that. I tried the knitter's math trick of using the numbers from a different size to get the fit I wanted, but the Modern Garden sizing is fairly spread out because there are only so many number combinations that will allow for those beautiful, large leaf motifs. So the knitonepurltoo support crew (aka my husband) made a trip to Joann's with me to get a big pink set of Susan Bates circulars, size 17.
And I knit the thing. Like any knitting story, there were setbacks (the large was too large, so I reknit in medium), and triumphs (the leaf motifs were easy to work and very pretty). But the spider sense that was tingling pre-Olympics, leading me to question my project choice and even write to Nordic Mart and ask if I could return the yarn, was accurate. Other knitters had gauge issues and several found the sleeve sizing small – me too. But I enjoyed knitting it, and was glad that I followed through to the end, even if I did feel like the guy who crosses the finish line last. My one regret? I turned off the Olympics after the (awesome) hockey game because I didn't want to see the torch go out without having finished, and I missed William Shatner and the dancing maple leaves.
I also have no idea what to make with the yarn, once I've ripped it back – a baby sweater? A felted bag? Something crocheted? I'm mulling my options, because not being able to get the DROPS Eskimo out of my stash seemed roundly unfair after so much hard work.
My Modern Garden mishap taught me nothing about knitting to a deadline, though – I picked my needles right back up and polished off a pair of birthday socks for my husband's godson, finished the day of the birthday party during a spinning workshop offered by my local guild. These are the Yarrow Ribbed socks from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush; I subbed in a garter stitch short-row heel for the flap and gusset style. He tried on my mom's cashmere socks when they were close to the finish line, and asked for a pair with stripes – who am I to say no to that? So I didn't medal in the Knitting Olympics, but to one seven-year old who may still be wearing his socks, I'm pretty cool. I can live with that.
Next up: I get serious about spinning, and progress is made on Fionn.

Carbon for Twitter has been one of the most anticipated apps to come to Android in a long time. Once a webOS app with a ton of potential, Carbon for Twitter has finally made its way into the Google Play Store. So was it worth the wait? Is it good enough to dethrone well established apps like Plume and recent gems like Falcon? It's very, very close.
Dressed in all black with a granite-like texture for a backdrop, the first things you'll notice about Carbon for Twitter are that it looks beautiful and goes heavy on the animations and gestures. While the animations and gestures make for a fun navigation experience, both can be a bit overwhelming. For example, the pull-to-refresh animation has you almost pulling your timeline off your screen. And the jump-to-top function is hidden by a two-fingered pull, not mentioned anywhere in the app.
There are a handful of missing features that other apps have had for some time now. Notifications are extremely limited (it's either check once every 15 minutes or not at all) and things like Tweet Marker and other third-party service support are nonexistent. Tablet support is also missing.
My overall first impressions are that Carbon is a great start. While it's missing some essential features, the app is balanced out by aesthetics and speed. In order to fully appreciate how fluid Carbon is, you have to use it. I'm guessing the developers behind Carbon for Twitter are hard at work building out the feature set and tweaking the general UI. With one big update, Carbon could easily jump to the front of the pack as everyone's go-to Twitter client for Android. To download Carbon for Twitter, which I highly suggest doing, use the download widget below.

As I reported a few weeks ago, my pals at Yankee Soda & Candy recently sent me package containing a whole variety of American sourced products for me to review for the site. One of the smaller, daintier products included in this selection was the Hershey's Heath, which came described as a 'milk chocolate English toffee bar'. In terms of comparator products, the Heath sits in a competitive part of the market, which is also inhabited by another Hershey's bar the SKOR (See HERE), and of course Kraft's Daim bar (See HERE). Having done some brief research via Google, and cutting a long story short - the Heath was first to market produced in 1921, with the SKOR coming in later in 1983. For a while the Heath bar directly competed with the SKOR, however in 1996 Hershey acquired a company called Leaf, which saw the integration of the Heath in to their portfolio.
History lessons now to one side, this bar in a 39.0g which is the same size as the SKOR, but significantly bigger than the average Daim bar we get here in the UK. In terms of the wrapper, I can see what Hershey are trying to do with the old school look, but personally I think the wrapper is teetering on looking dated rather than retro. US citizens may get more nostalgic pleasure from the design than us oblivious Brits!? - it would be good to hear some views from across the pond on this. Inside the bar cut a more appetising look, with the chocolate's clean, shiny complexion and the golden coloured inner toffee both looking nicely presented. Smell wise the bar didn't offer much aside from a standard set of sweet chocolate scents.
Apologies for constantly referring back to the SKOR and Daim bars, but comparisons were always going to be drawn given the similar propositions. In terms of the outer milk chocolate the layer was sweet and milky in taste, and melted at a decent pace and nice fluidity. Those of you wondering if there was any sense of the Hershey sour aftertaste lingering around, will feel comforted to know that there was nothing of the sort detectable, with the majority of the taste occupied by the generic sweet milk chocolate flavours. On the wrapper, the 'finest quality English toffee' was communicated as being on offer, but being an English lad I can tell you the centre was nothing like English toffee whatsoever. Toffee in the UK is normally more of a chewy, softer confection, but the lines between fudge, caramel and toffee are all so blurred nowadays I will resist a good old rant. Focusing more on what was, rather than what wasn't, the centre was actually pretty delicious so I can excuse the rather loose 'toffee' description. In comparison to the SKOR and Daim bars it had the same brittle texture, but was smoother to suck on, and had a more friendly, butter rooted caramel like set of flavours on offer. The less intense sweetness of these flavours, went nicely with the already quite sugary chocolate, which made consuming this bar in a single sitting a pretty easy and altogether satisfying task. As a little side note it was excellent after it had been left in the freezer for an hour or so - this made the toffee no more brittle, but the chocolate longer lasting in melt.
Overall if I had to pick a favourite out of all three big brand offerings I would have to go for this Heath bar. I think out of all three, it's balance in relation to both flavours and textures are superior to the other two, and with a little smartening up of the packaging and presentation it could really be up there as one of the better mass produced chocolates from the US. In terms of superior textures, the melt of the chocolate was better paced and smoother compared to what I can remember about the SKOR bar, whilst the inner toffee brittle thankfully didn't have the same roughness as the Daim. In terms of chocolate quality, it has to be said I would be very hard pushed to pick a favourite between all three as all of them offer pretty much the same experience. However, when it comes to the toffee filling, for me the Heath bar does manage to stand a little apart from the others with it's taste more rooted in butter and cream rather than the startling burnt sugar flavours offered by the other two. If you are fan of either the SKOR or Daim and haven't yet tried a Heath yet, I recommend you do so in the near future. You could well have a new favourite on your hands.

Kuwait's 50th Constitution Day celebration featured over 235 Watts of laser power, plus lighting, audio, effects, and a record-breaking 77,282 firework in a single hour! Two weeks of setup, plus three tons of gear, culminated in the breathtaking gala witnessed by over a million people.
ER Productions of London, the event's laser and effects specialists, used the landmark Kuwait towers as the show's centerpiece. The towers featured elegant laser mapping which could be seen five miles away. Twenty large mirrors were positioned atop the largest tower, sending laser break-up effects to a three-mile stretch of the city's beach.
To control the massive array of lasers and effects, ER Productions used both wireless and fibre optic data control. Key to the system were multiple laser towers on the beach, firing not only to the Kuwait towers, but also to five 25 metre display cubes built on sea platforms 170 metres from the laser sources on shore. On each laser tower was a ProPlex GBS 10-port GigaBit Switch for data control, networked via ProPlex Fibre "Rock & Roll Tactical" fibre optic cables.
"Our new ProPlex GBS and ProPlex Fibre solution was perfect for the five cube display systems along the corniche of Kuwait City," says ER Production's Managing Director Ryan Hagan. "The ProPlex system's extremely rugged design and stability secured 24-hour operation for over two weeks in temperatures over 40° C!" Ryan adds, "Each of five laser towers used ProPlex GBS RackMount switchers with one located at front-of-house (FOH). The GBS units were each networked via 300 metre runs of ProPlex Fibre cable which even at these distances had a loss of only 0.86 dB! Truly remarkable performance."
Fourteen LOOK Solutions Viper deLuxe fog machines on the beach were controlled by 14 LumenRadio CRMX Nova wireless receivers and one CRMX Nova transmitter located at FOH. "Our wireless signals, across a half-mile of corniche with no line-of-sight, were 100% reliable," says Ryan. "Not only are LumenRadio systems reliable in the most challenging environments, they're also extremely easy to use. To say we love them is an understatement."
