Pumpple Pie (Pumpkin & Apple!) Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 Entry #22
Recipe: Jennifer's Pumpple Pie (Pumpkin & Apple!)
Category: Original
Pumpkin AND apple! What a pie! We had a hard time deciding which category to put this into, but we ultimately decided that such a novel combination of two classic pies supported Jennifer's own categorization of Original. Take a look at Jennifer's pie and the reasons why she (and a couple other people!) think it's the best pie.
Where is this recipe from? The crust is from Martha Stewart but the pie filling is mine. I was inspired by my two favorite pies - Pumpkin and Apple - after walking around the Greenmarket in Union Square. Nothing is more autumn-appropriate than these two flavors rolled into one!
Why is this the BEST pie recipe you've got? Because it was literally gone in a day! It's a crowd pleaser since everyone likes apple pie and pumpkin pie but it was the first time my friends' had both flavors in "one delish pie." I have 3 pie "orders" for Thanksgiving alone!
"It's different, and wonderful" - the boyfriend
"I heart Pumpple Pie" - the best friend
"I like my sister even better since she makes this glorious pie" - the sister
Pumpple Pie (Pumpkin & Apple!)
Makes two 9" Pie Crusts (store-bought works great too)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1. Mix 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar in a medium-size bowl. Cut 2 sticks chilled unsalted butter into pieces. With a pastry blender, cut in butter, working until mixture resembles coarse meal.
2. Add 4 tablespoons ice water; work with hands until dough comes together. If dough is still crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time (up to 4 more tablespoons). Do not overwork.
3. Divide dough in half, and flatten halves into disks. Wrap disks separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
4. To form the pie shell, roll the dough on a floured surface into a 14-inch round. Wrap around rolling pin and carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate.
Fit gently into bottom and side of plate. Use kitchen shears to trim dough to a 1-inch overhang; fold under, and seal to form a rim.
5. After filling pie with filling, roll the remaining crust over the pie and crimp to seal both layers. Egg wash top of crust and edges. Decorate how you wish. ***I used turbando sugar on the crust edges and a heart cookie cutter to make the center decoration.
Ingredients for the Apple Filling
5 cups sliced, peeled and cored apples (use Fiji)
2.5 tablespoon, unsalted butter
3/4 cup, packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup, water
1 tsp, cornstarch
1.5 tsp, ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp, salt
1 tsp, lemon juice
1. In a 1.5 qt medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, water, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt.
2. Stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil.
3. Stir in sliced apples; cook until tender - about 8 - 10 minutes - stirring occasionally.
4. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Spread apple mixture evenly on the bottom of the piecrust.
Ingredients for the Pumpkin Filling
1/2 cup, sugar
1 cup, canned pumpkin
1 slightly beaten egg
1 tsp, cinnamon
1 tsp, pumpkin pie spice
2/3 cup, evaporated milk
1. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin, egg, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Whisk until blended. Stir in evaporated milk. Carefully pour pumpkin mixture over apples.
2. Cover edges of crust with foil to prevent over browning. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
3. Cool pie thoroughly on a rack at least 2 hours to set. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Securely cover and keep in refrigerator for up to a week.

MILTON — On Saturday afternoon The New Hampshire Farm Museum located on a sprawling landscape hosted the release of the children's book "The Iciest, Diciest, Scariest Sled Ride Ever!"
Children and their parents flooded the museum in order to celebrate the release of the picture book that follows seven children on a blustery winter day when "the world was ice and we were skaters without skates."
The story begins when Lizzie and her friends coax Grampa Bud into letting them use his runner sled, a long sled built for speed.
The children slip and scramble their way up an icy slope to finally whiz down the tallest hill on Old Mountain Rd.
Rebecca Rule, author and New Hampshire native, and artist Jennifer Thermes gave dramatic readings of the tale throughout the afternoon to roomfuls of children and their parents.
At the end of the first reading one child yelled out "I loved it!" in approval that promoted a burst of laughter throughout the room.
"This was a logical place for the book launch because we have Uncle Sam's sled- the longest sled in the world. The author got her inspiration for the book, at least partly, from this very sled," Kathleen Shea, director of the New Hampshire Farm Museum, said.
The museum acquired the world's longest sled from the Cameron family in Farmington.
The red, white and blue sled was built in 1894 and was once used to cart local children up a mile and a half hill by horse to slide down the entire hill. According to Shea the sled would gain so much speed that sparks flew from its runners.
Today the sled sits in a large barn with a wide array of other antique items.
"We lugged the sled onto the lawn today for this event, it was very heavy but it is perfect for the reading," Shea said.
After Rule was finished with the first reading, the room full of children filtered onto the lawn, joining with others milling around the property. Shea directed everyone milling around the area to sit on the sled for a group picture.
According to legend the 77-foot-long sled could seat over 100 children, and although the museum did not tally how many sat along the long wooden sled the entire surface was packed tight with people.
Andrew and Jamie Miller, of Milton, were among the children that sat on the world's longest sled. Both enjoyed warm hot chocolate and cookies while on sitting on Uncle Sam.
"We had no idea what to expect or how many people were going to show up, but we are absolutely thrilled with the turnout," an employee at the museum said.
According to the same employee the museum had sold two heaping cardboard boxes full of the picture books to children and their families.
Later in the afternoon Rule and Thermes personally signed each of the children's brad new books.
The book release was a cheerful reminder of the colder winter days to come, as trees shed their leaves and temperatures begin to drop.

Budget Busters
It takes a lot of hard work to dismantle the budgeting process.
September 1, 2012
Everybody complains about budgeting, and almost everybody tries to do something about it. The companies profiled in this month's cover story have done something: they've scrapped the process once and for all ("Freed from the Budget"). Thanks to techniques like rolling forecasts and continuous planning, companies like Group Health Cooperative in Seattle and Holt CAT in Texas no longer have to submit to the arduous annual task of constructing a document that can depreciate in value faster than a new car. They can adapt more easily to changing market conditions and, in the words of Statoil executive Bjarte Bogsnes, "set targets that motivate and inspire people without all the gaming and pay negotiations."

Crime: Crime fiction is a genre of fiction that focuses on the dramatization of crimes, the detective work and procedures in solving said crimes, and the criminal motivations behind them. Mystery and detective fiction may also fit into this genre.
Horror: Horror fiction is a genre which intends, and/or has the capacity, to frighten, scare or startle readers. This genre may induce feelings of creepiness, horror and terror, and is generally unsettling for the audience. Horror can be supernatural or non-supernatural.
Romance: Romance fiction can encompass and draw themes, ideas and premises from other genres and can vary widely in setting, dialogue, characters, etc. Generally, however, romance fiction should include a love story involving two individuals struggling to make their relationship work and an emotionally satisfying ending.
Science Fiction: Science Fiction (and Fantasy) are genres that explore imaginative content, primarily related to science. This can include a variety of elements, often involving futuristic settings, science and technology, as well as space travel, time travel, extraterrestrial life, and parallel universes. Fantasy fiction often crosses over with this category, touching on similar elements such as world building and magical creatures, but it generally does not include the scientific themes.
Thriller: Thriller fiction is a genre of fiction that uses suspense and tension to dramatically affect the reader. A thriller can provide surprise, anxiety, terror, anticipation, etc., in order to provide a rush of emotions and excitement that progress a story. It should generally be based around the strength of the villain and the protagonist, as well as their struggle against each other. This category might encompass several other genres, including horror, science fiction, and crime.
Young Adult: Young Adult fiction is generally fiction meant for readers age 12-18.

The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is one of the parties involved in this project. On both days of the event, demonstrations will be given of the synergy between the separate technical components made by the partners in the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium (C2C-CC). DLR is joined in the consortium by almost all European automakers, several suppliers, and Fraunhofer and university institutes. The main contributions made by DLR scientists to this major project are the CODAR technology (Cooperative Object Detection And Ranging) and DLR's simulation expertise.
During the live demonstration, the audience, consisting of representatives from the automotive industry as well as journalists, will experience the state of the art in innovative C2C technology "live", allowing them to familiarise themselves with the new possibilities created by this technology. The demonstration will revolve around five selected case studies. DLR is responsible for one of these. The task assigned to DLR is to create an almost real-time representation of the traffic situation at the proving ground and all the communication links involved. The idea is to consolidate all the spontaneous, self-organising and short-lived communication links between the vehicles into a traffic situation display showing their precise geographic locations in such a way as to be insightful to laypersons as well. Other case studies will show how C2C technology can be used to prevent collisions between motorcycles and cars or to warn a driver of the presence of a breakdown van hidden from their view behind a curve in the road.
The C2C technology is considered to be a key technology for preventive road safety. The DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation (DLR-Institut für Kommunikation und Navigation) and the DLR Institute of Transportation Systems (DLR-Institut für Verkehrssystemtechnik) have made important contributions to this field over the past months, for instance by developing new methods for cooperative driver assistance based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
DLR is using this occasion to showcase its rather unique expertise in another way as well: During several overflights of the proving ground by a specially equipped research aircraft, high-resolution aerial images are recorded and analysed practically in real time to enable large-scale traffic situation assessment. For this purpose, DLR operates a camera system capable of transmitting large-scale image data (48 megapixels per photo, five by ten kilometres in two minutes) to a ground station. This system can record several images per second, enabling observation of dynamic processes such as road traffic. Parameters such as vehicle speeds, vehicle density and length of queues can be determined in this way. The system can improve traffic management during major events and calamities.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A pair of Topeka legislative candidates lost their bids to keep opponents off the ballot.
They were among 10 cases the State Objections Board heard Tuesday.
In the 52nd Kansas House district, William Scott Hesse argued Secretary of State Kris Kobach did not have authority to assign Dr. Shanti Gandhi to the correct district after federal judges redrew political boundaries.
Topeka City Councilman John Alcala made the same argument with his opponent in the 57th district, Aimee Rosenow.
In both cases, the board ruled the office acted within its authority. The office shifted more than 80 candidates in all due to the boundary changes.
In another case, the board rejected the claim of Democrat Larry Meeker, who said the Secretary of State's Office lost his paperwork. He says he'll campaign as a writein.
Also of interest, House Majority Leader Arlen Siegfreid will not face a primary challenge from Rep. Mike Kiegerl. The new boundaries put them in the same district, but Kiegerl did not meet the deadline ot take his name off the ballot, to avoid running against his ally. The board granted Siegfreid's request to do so, with Kiegerl's support.
The board also rejected a challenge to Rep. Jan Pauls' candidacy. Tom Witt, executive director of the Kansas Equality Coalition, said Pauls, a conservative Democrat, did not actually live at a former church she lists as her new address.
Pauls said she has made the former church her home because her previous residence was drawn into another district during the state's political redistricting process.
The board is comprised of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer and Attorney General Derek Schmidt.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

There seems to be no mention of the Quorum requirements for membership meetings.
Legal requirements for majority votes may vary depending on what the action is. This should be explicitly acknowledged in the bylaws. Seems to be done.
We should consider prohibiting proxy voting. It should be addressed one way or the other in the bylaws. Done.
Remote attendance and voting?
I don't care about remote voting as long as we can positively identify the person voting. (Rick)
Any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors may be held by telephone or telecommunications, as long as all Directors can hear each other. (sample)
Do we have to file an annual report? Yes probably. If so it would be due by the anniversary of our filing.
Action by Consent
Any action required by law to be taken at a meeting of the members, or any action which may be taken at a members' meeting, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken or so taken, shall be signed by all the members.
We may want this verbiage for both directors and members. Done

Lobo soccer continues to impress
Men still wear target
Both the men's soccer program and the women's team continue to dominate their respective fields, with each capturing important wins last weekend.
The women clinched the Mountain West Conference championship in the finals with a pair of goals that mirrored each other in time. Scoring nineteen seconds into the game, Natalie Jenks put away the quickest game-winner in MWC tournament history. The game ended with the Lobos on top 2-0 and they secured an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. They will begin play at UCLA on Saturday, Nov. 12. The Lady Lobos are playing in only their second NCAA Tournament and hope to surpass last year's first-round exit.
On the other hand, with its No. 1 ranking secure, and an unbeaten streak that is the talk of the town, the men's team has higher expectations foisted upon it. The men also performed admirably over the weekend, shutting out UNLV in an ugly game that saw two ejections from the opposing side in the second half. No doubt frustrated by the score, the Lobos' ability and the fact that they'd already been eliminated from the post-season, UNLV turned what had been a pretty even affair in the first half into a slogged-down, foul-filled game in the last half.
Both teams, obviously, will be cheered for, but there's no denying that, between the rankings, the press and past history, the men's team will be waiting with bated breath on Monday, Nov. 14, when the men's NCAA Tournament bracket is revealed. Because of the aforementioned circumstances, the clear hope—and expectation—is for a healthy slate of home field advantage for the early rounds of the tournament. But no matter where they play, the Lobos are sure to have a target on their backs.

Homeland Showrunner Alex Gansa Knows That You Have Plausibility Issues
With the pacemaker thing, and the BlackBerry thing, and the ...
As we all know, last night was the finale of Homeland's much-discussed second season. In his recap praising the episode, Matt Zoller Seitz wrote: "None of which should be construed as endorsement of how we got here. I prefer Homeland's first season to this one because, compared to 24, the Bourne trilogy, and other military-espionage tales, it was intimate and grounded. There were hard-to-swallow plot twists, but they weren't as flamboyant as a lot of the action in season two, parts of which depended on Saturday morning serial-style 'because we said so' plotting." This morning, Grantland published a podcast interview between TV critic Andy Greenwald and Alex Gansa, one of Homeland's showrunners, that addressed some of those plot twists. Here are choice quotes from the interview, which you can listen to in full here:
On the overall goal of the season:
"We were fulfilling the promise of the season, which I've been saying from the very beginning is the story of this doomed love affair between Carrie and Brody. And that's what we were really positing in the finale: Is a happy ending really possible for these two characters? And I think the answer was clearly no."
On being true to the characters, even during ridiculous plot moments:
"I don't think we were ever untrue to our characters this season. As preposterous or outrageous our plot devices were, they were always in service of real moment between our characters. We were willing and able to put our characters in those situations by, what some people might say, outlandish plot moves."
On the plausibility argument:
"Our first year on the air, honestly, go back and look at some of those episodes. The necklace. The couple buying the house under the airport. It was just as pushed and just as absurd, if you really look at it objectively. This is my theory: It's the natural urge. We were put on a pedestal this year and all of sudden there is much more intense scrutiny and that natural tendency is like: can we knock someone off the pedestal?"
On the pacemaker storyline:
"Let's put it this way: Walden had to die because that's where we were going with the Nazir plot at the end. And obviously it would be great for Brody to have a very functional role in that murder. However, Brody's hands had to be completely clean. He couldn't have strangled the guy or taken him into the woods and put a bullet in Walden's head because there would always be a question that it was murder and there would always be a question that Brody was in Walden's company or Brody would be the target of an investigation. We couldn't have that. He had to be clean of the murder, so the possibility of a happy ending was possible. So we had to devise a story that would facilitate that need in the narrative."
On why Brody was able to walk around freely at the Naval Observatory:
"For everyone on the ground there, everyone at the Naval Observatory: this is Bill Walden's presumptive vice presidential nominee. There were a bunch of secret service people on the ground. You know, he was there on an official visit and sneaks upstairs for 15 seconds. That never occurred to us while we were plotting the story...I can see that you might think that was implausible, but what it lead to seem much more profound than getting hung up on all the little details of it all."
On the Brody being able to use a phone to talk to Nazir:
"Those [criticisms] are legitimate. We needed Nazir to communicate with Brody. And a lot of people think you can't Skype on Blackberry. There are actually Blackberries that you can Skype on. It's interesting that people would get hung up on those things. Although, I have to say, if I were an audience member watching it and I'm stopped cold in the middle of watching an episode, saying that's completely ridiculous, I'd be bummed too. That would take me out of the narrative and I'd be throwing stuff at the television."
On Nazir being able to get into the country:
"There were people at the end of episode eight ... and Nazir is brought up and says, 'Nicholas.' A lot of people said, 'Who the fuck is that? And what did he just say?' And other people were going, 'There's no way on Earth that Nazir could've gotten in the country.' But half the people were saying they didn't recognize the guy. The idea was to make him unrecognizable and there's the Mexican border and the Canadian border, he could've slipped through."
On Dana's hit-and-run:
"I think we all understood the problems of that idea. First it was very melodramatic. But the whole point of that was we had to drive a wedge between Brody and his daughter. And it felt like an interesting thing to do on two levels: One, it expressed and showed Dana how the world really works. And also it gave her the experience of killing somebody, which is what her father's been through in one way or another. On those two fronts it seemed to function dramatically nicely."
On next season:
"We're going to tell a different story next season and I don't think it's going to be a story about another attack on America."

"Black Tiger," an independent comic book created by John Hervey II, has not been on any bestseller lists or received an Eisner nomination. Yet at WonderCon earlier this month, Hervey celebrated a milestone for his project — the premiere of the short film adaptation "Black Tiger: Hunter Hunted" at the UltraLuxe Anaheim Cinemas at GardenWalk represented the culmination of 10 years of effort.
Angela Fong stars as Jenn Fong, a female vigilante known as the Black Tiger, who is investigating the murder of her father, the original Black Tiger. (Watch the trailer for the short above.)
Hero Complex caught up with comics creator and co-screenwriter (with director Patricio Ginelsa) Hervey to discuss his indie comics-to-film journey.
Hero Complex: When did you create "Black Tiger"?
John Hervey: It all started back during Memorial Day weekend 2002. Priscilla and I had recently started dating and went on a trip to Santa Barbara where I asked her to read the screenplays I had written to see what she thought. After arriving back home, she told me that they were good, so I excitedly told her about the other idea I had for a movie. After brainstorming, we came up with the name Black Tiger for the heroine. As I was putting the story together, I decided this was an idea I wasn't willing to sell, so I thought about what media I could tell this story in that would enable me to keep the creative rights. That is when I considered producing this vision in comic book form.
HC: What was involved?
JH: The first step was forming a company, so I called up Priscilla [Hervey] and asked her to come up with a business name. She gave me a list of names, and the first one on the list, Beyond Time, was the one that stood out. Once the company was formed, I set out to write. Despite my background in writing comics, self-publishing was a new animal for us. Priscilla had no background in comics or business, as she was a science educator at the time, and I had never had to manage the process of comic book production before. Priscilla and I spent a lot of time brainstorming ideas and working on character development, and I sought out talent to bring the visuals to the story. It took about two years of production before we published "Black Tiger: Legacy of Fury" No. 1 in March 2004.
HC: Did you ever consider taking your indie title to one of the bigger comics companies?
JH: Like any fanboy-turned-comic producer, my knee-jerk reaction was to go to a bigger company. We didn't go to the Big 2, because they don't really have a vehicle for properties like this, but we did try submitting to one of the larger self-publishers. They didn't bite, so we had two options, cry ourselves to sleep or publish the books ourselves. After a little bit of the former, we did the latter and in retrospect it was the best thing that could have happened to us. It forced us to really learn the business, including the bane of most creator's existence, promoting your brand.
HC: You've now created a short film following the exploits of Black Tiger. How did you choose which tale to tell?
JH: We wanted to tell a story that was self-contained enough to be told as a short, but also rich enough to give people a glimpse into the world of Black Tiger. I feel we achieved that goal with "Hunter Hunted." I'm so pleased with the production — from the acting and production to the sound, [special effects], editing and all elements of post-production. There was a previous production we worked on in November 2010 that didn't get in the can. It was a story centered around Det. Salem Chow. We still hope that we'll be able to tell that story, but I got the idea for "Hunter Hunted," and after sharing it with Patricio Ginelsa of Kid Heroes Productions, decided to move forward with that tale. These short film plots continue where the "Black Tiger: Legacy of Fury" series end.
HC: How was the crowd-funding experience?
JH: When we embarked on crowd funding, we first did one through Indiegogo because we would still get the funds contributed even if we did not reach our goal. It was a bit last-minute, and we had the help of Mish'al Samman, who worked on the appeal video for us. We thought it was a "if you put it out there, it will fund" type of thing, so we did not properly prepare for it. We had some close friends and family contribute, but all we had were our comics and the idea of a film to share. We only got about $7,000 of the $50,000 goal. That was a real disappointment, but we also thought it was better than nothing. So, we moved ahead investing our savings for what we planned to be a $10,000 budget short film. This helped us get through production. The focus was to get it in the can, and it did.
However, we still needed funds for post-production. Patricio had just successfully completed a Kickstarter campaign for his project "Lumpia 2" prior to beginning production on "Black Tiger: Hunter Hunted." Once we finished production, he helped us embark on our own Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for post. He pretty much walked us through it, from preparing the campaign to strategies in reaching out on a daily basis and how to offer rewards and incentives to backers. It was a really humbling experience, but gave us a new appreciation for community support through crowd-funding. We ran a 19-day campaign and hit our goal in 12 days. While the budget eclipsed what we raised through the crowdsourcing campaigns, the financial support was just what we needed to complete post-production and get it ready in time for our premiere at WonderCon Anaheim.
HC: From print to digital to a short film, what's been the biggest obstacle to gaining mainstream success?
JH: Gaining eyeballs. As people have become exposed to the property the reaction has been favorable, but without a marketing budget or a larger publisher behind us, it has been a grass-roots effort over the last decade that has enabled us to build our fan base and brand.
HC: What's next for Black Tiger, both the character/comic title and the film?
JH: Another comic book miniseries is currently in production, with pencils by Rod Pereira and colors by Omi Remalante Jr. The street date for the series should be towards the end of the year. On the film front, doors have been opening, and we will be discussing some different options. We're pursuing both a feature film and series opportunities.

Michelle Obama is signing copies of her gardening book, "American Grown," at a bookstore in Northwest Washington.
Scores of people, including men and women pushing babies in plastic-covered strollers, lined up in the rain Tuesday outside the Politics and Prose bookstore.
Before she took a seat and started signing books, the first lady told patrons to "buy away" because Mother's Day is Sunday.
She said her book, which tells the story of the White House garden, is a great gift.
"American Grown" was published last spring. It is Michelle Obama's first book.
The publisher says more than 175,000 copies have been printed.

Providence Writing Desk
Gentle curves and elegant details provide a place to get work done in style.
By Mario Rodriguez
Pages: 44-49
From the April 2009 issue #175

A friend of mine recently moved into a small apartment in Providence and needed a place from which she could pay bills, do paperwork and park her computer. But the apartment is small, so the desk would be very visible. In addition to being functional, it had to look good. Needless to say, I've been looking at a lot of desks lately. And I came up with a streamlined design that has a little class; plus it fits her tastes and her space.
The design of this desk was inspired by the clean lines of Austrian Biedermeier furniture from the period 1815-1850, which preceded and influenced the popular Art Deco style. Biedermeier furniture copies the designs and elements found in both classical furniture and architecture: columns, arches, entablatures and graceful tapering legs.
The desk is compact, measuring 22″ deep x 36″ wide x 29 3/4″ high and features slender saber-shaped legs, punctuated with a small bead around each ankle and another wrapping around the desk, just below the two drawers. The generous inset dovetailed drawers are fitted with turned knobs.
The desk has a center partition that divides it in two and sits upon the drawer web (or frame). The drawers ride on the web and are guided into the interior of the desk.
In this article, I'll concentrate on the construction of the desk and only briefly mention the making and fitting of the drawers because the topic was recently covered in the February 2009 issue (#174).

Justin Bieber Arrested for DUI, Drag Racing
Well, it happened.
Well, it finally happened: After multiple run-ins with paparazzi, noise complaints from his neighbors, and the dramatic egg raid earlier this month, Justin Bieber has been arrested. Miami Beach Police confirmed that Bieber was taken into custody early Thursday morning; the Miami Herald reports that his crew (possibly including his father) had blocked off traffic so that Bieber could race his rented yellow Lamborghini down Pine Tree Drive. At 4:09 a.m., Bieber was stopped by police, who "immediately smelled an odor of alcohol emanating from the drivers [sic] breath." He was asked to get out of the car and declined, yelling "Why the fuck are you doing this" repeatedly. (The full police report is below.)
According to sources, Bieber told officers that he'd "had a beer, was under the influence of antidepressants and had been smoking marijuana all day." The AP confirms that he had consumed alcohol and weed. Bieber was charged with driving under the influence and resisting arrest; police also said he was driving with an expired Georgia license. Florida law mandates a maximum of six months in prison, a fine of $250 to $500, and 50 hours of community service for a first-time DUI conviction. Bieber's immigration status — he's Canadian, remember — will probably not be changed, since neither crime makes an individual eligible for deportation under U.S. law.
Bieber appeared before a judge via webcam this afternoon. His bail was set at $2500 ($1000 each for the charges of DUI and resisting arrest, plus $500 for the expired license.
TMZ has posted footage of the arrest (which is mostly footage of young women crowded around the Lambo, plus some flashing lights):
And here is what Bieber looked like before the arrest. The woman with him is reportedly a model named Chantal Jeffries. (This photo is taken from the Instagram of Khalil Sharief, who was also arrested.)
Meanwhile, here's the police report.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - The Australian government has granted the Walt Disney Studios production of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" a one-off A$21.6 million ($22.50 million) grant to film the remake of the classic film Down Under.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said in a statement on Tuesday that securing the shoot was a "huge coup" for the local film industry, which has struggled to attract Hollywood productions in recent years because of the strong Australian dollar.
"The filming will give Australian talent the opportunity to work with some of the best screen professionals in the business - both in front of the cameras and behind the scenes," she added.
The government currently offers a 40 percent tax rebate for all feature films but has stepped into the breach before with additional funds, providing a $A12.8 million grant for the filming of the Hugh Jackman vehicle "The Wolverine", which recently completed filming in Sydney.
Gillard's office said that shoot created almost 2,000 jobs, contracted just over 1,000 Australian companies and generated A$80 million of investment.
Local director Baz Luhrmann shot the much-awaited "The Great Gatsby", which is set to open the 2013 Cannes film festival, in Australia last year.
The Star Wars Episodes II & III, the Matrix Trilogy and "Mission: Impossible II" were all filmed in Australia during the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the Australian dollar was weaker, but an extended gap followed.
"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is based on a science fiction novel published in 1870 by French writer Jules Verne which follows a navel ship expedition across the world's oceans in search of a mysterious sea monster.
Gillard's office said no casting decisions had yet been made and locations are yet to be finalized.
Australian media said that "Fight Club" and "The Social Network" director David Finch is in line to direct the movie, with Brad Pitt to star as the film's hero Ned Land. ($1 = 0.9602 Australian dollars)

Any designer will tell you that a pixel is the smallest element of a picture; a dot on a page. On its own, a pixel doesn't give much away. But when it joins other pixels it forms a whole, contributes to a mass, and gives meaning to whatever it is it represents.
This is the idea behind Afropixel, a festival of art, ideas and information taking place in Dakar, Senegal during the Biennial, organised by Kër Thiossane, where the pixels are the artists, computer scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs who converge in this unique part of the world.
At meetings, installations and workshops people gather to discuss how contemporary art can fuse with technology to implement and spread open culture in Africa. Moleskine and non-profit foundation lettera27 are diffusing Evernote notebooks amongst delegates in an effort to share knowledge and drive innovation on a social level. By writing their ideas down in the notebooks and sending them directly to the cloud using Evernote's functionality, the participating artists are instantly sharing their knowledge with everyone, bringing all those pixels together to form a global picture of innovation and information.

Haim have topped the BBC Sound of 2013 list, lining up the Californian power-pop trio for a stellar year.
The list (now in its eleventh year), aims to showcase the top bands and artists to keep an eye out for in the year ahead, with previous winners including Adele, Jessie J and Brandish favourite Michael Kiwanuka.
Haim, comprised of three sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim have been championed for their fusion of '70s rock and '80s synth pop, drawing influence from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, The Bangles and The Go-Go's.
Beginning life as a covers band, the sisters have now supported acts such as Florence and The Machine and Mumford and Sons off the back of their Forever EP and recent single Don't Save Me.
213 experts and critics compile the list, with eligible artists not having scored a UK top 20 single or album before 11 November 2012.
The top five list for 2013 is rounded out by London R&B duo AlunaGeorge in second, New York-based rapper Angel Haze in third, Birmingham soul singer Laura Mvula in fourth and Glasgow electro-pop outfit Chvrches in fifth.
Haim also topped our Top Five Bands To Watch In 2013 list, which also included Cheatahs, Palma Violets, Savages and Daughter. Finger on the pulse, no?

Inversion takes players on a whirlwind journey complete with nonstop firefights, and a suspense-filled storyline. Packed to the brim with action, Inversion also introduces revolutionary gravity-wielding combat, zero gravity environments, vector changes, and a unique destructible cover system.
Inversion is a third-person co-op shooter that combines hard-hitting, adrenaline-pumping action with a revolutionary gravity manipulation engine. Featuring the Grappler weapon, players will be able to manipulate gravity for their own purposes. The Grappler can be used in countless combat situations by maneuvering massive objects as shields or projectiles, and moving camped enemies out of concealed cover so they can be blasted away. The Grappler is also a key tool for tactical situations and puzzle solving as players can lift, move, or create cover objects at their whim. The awesome power of gravity is right at players' fingertips. Additionally, Inversion is one of the first games to feature the HAVOK destruction engine which bestows Inversion with massively destructible environments including an elaborate cover system.
Set in the near future, the tranquil peace enjoyed by mankind shatters with an unforeseen invasion by an unknown enemy called the Lutadore. Armed to the teeth with futuristic gravity-controlling weapons, the Lutadore easily overrun the city's defenses. Unbeknownst to all, mysterious anomalies have surfaced in conjunction with the invasion. Random regions in the city have entered zero gravity or have suffered vector changes, throwing the world into topsy-turvy chaos. Assuming the role of Davis Russel, a hotheaded 28-year-old cop, or Leo Delgado, Davis' neighbor, players will embark on a journey through the war ravaged gravity twisted disorienting streets of their home town and beyond, to find Davis' missing child.
After being delayed several times, Namco Bandai has finally set a new release date for Europe and North America, issuing the following statement:
The extra development time for Inversion affords the team the opportunity to create an enjoyable and engaging third-person shooter experience with a comprehensive multiplayer component, including extensive competitive and co-operative modes.
Key Features:
- Multiplayer Options:
- Play through the compelling story on your own or play with others in either co-op or competitive modes.
- Breakthrough Gravity-Defying Gameplay:
- Learn to maneuver and shoot in an ever-changing state of global gravity, including weightless gameplay in zero gravity.
- Control gravitational forces using your Gravlink device to either increase or decrease the amount of gravity on a given target.
- Command gravity to crush objects in your way, fl oat enemies into range or even pick up cars to use them as mobile cover.
- Innovative Cover System:
- With bullets flying, seek cover objects in the environment or manipulate objects to create cover for yourself.
- Pervasive Environmental Destruction:
- INVERSION have been specifi cally designed to allow for maximum destructibility using the "Havok Destruction" module.
- Blast through the environments, target your enemies' cover blasting it to bits or even knock down overhead objects to crush
the enemy below.

Has Beyonce Changed The Game?
By now, you've heard that Beyonce somehow managed to record a full length album of 14 songs, the self-titled Beyonce, AND shoot 17 music videos...
And drop them on ITunes on a Thursday night with nary a leak, a peep, or promo destroying the Internet and our damn lives in the process.
Consider our wigs--and those of seemingly every pop star—snatched.
So has she changed the game?? Has Beyonce single-handedly changed how we're going to be getting our music?
You can check out previews of all of Bey's new videos here.
Beyonce explains:
"I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it. I am bored with that. I feel like I am able to speak directly to my fans. There's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn't want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it's ready and from me to my fans.
"I just want to give my album to the people I love and respect and hope that they feel the same thing I felt when I made the music."
It's an exciting, bold choice and we hope it pays off!
For those traditionalists, look for the double disc CD/DVD at retail in time for the holidays.
What do you think of this move by, Bey, Instincters? (And since this is also about the actual music--favorite tracks? Videos??)
Image Source
Figures, she's always gotta try & 1 up Mariah.. Mimi just did a "different" style by releasing her latest song directly to facebook, & right after Mimi had those kids, wouldn't you know Beyonce gets that baby bump. The difference is that Mariahs was real, while beyonces folded awkwardly when she sat down in one of her interviews.. lol what a joke beyonce is, trying to be so relevant & controversial wearing that satanic ring & stuff lol. But, I guess it is a very sincere show of flattery @ Mariah! ;-)

Sergio Garcia off to strong start in America
Feb. 15, 2013
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The fog was an unexpected guest, filling the fairways of Riviera so quickly that Sergio Garcia could barely make out the large bunker he was trying to avoid with his final tee shot. He could barely see the pin on the elevated green from about 180 yards away.
All the fans could see was a figure dressed in black, and his golf ball settling close to the pin.
Garcia hit an 8-iron to about 6 feet on the ninth hole and rapped that in for his seventh birdie in an opening round of 6-under 65, leaving him one shot behind Matt Kuchar on Thursday in the Northern Trust Open.
Much as he tried, Garcia had few complaints.
"Very happy with it, and first tournament in the U.S. this year, it was nice to start like that with three nice birdies," he said. "Then I managed to play quite good — not extremely well. I hit my drivers pretty good — obviously some drives here and there I would like to hit a little better. It was good. So very pleased with the round overall."
The 32-year-old Spaniard has high standards, accompanied by high expectations.
His final hour of the opening round, however, raised hopes that he was emerging from somewhat of a foggy period in his career. Garcia failed to make the Ryder Cup team for Europe in 2010. Even as his game was rounding into form last year, he told Spanish reporters that he doesn't feel capable of winning a major. As if to prove a point, he missed the cut in the last two majors of the year.
But the round he put together Thursday at Riviera was a reminder of raw skill, and an upward trend.
Garcia ended nearly a year without winning — four years on the PGA Tour alone — at the Wyndham Championship, a victory that enabled him to return to the Tour Championship for the first time since 2008. Since then, he has had five top 10s in eight tournaments, including another win at the Johor Open, where he closed with a 61.
But he still gets defensive.
One reporter asked him about his form, mentioning tee shots that found bunkers at the wrong time, yet he still managed a 66.
"You should try to hit every fairway. That's what I tried to do," Garcia said. "I feel like I'm playing quite well. I feel more comfortable with my irons than I feel with my driver. It doesn't mean that I'm driving the ball badly. But I'm not quite as confident with it. Those are things that happen."
Perhaps the best part of his day was that he finished. Eighteen players failed to finish the round, not unusual for a tournament that has a 144-man field, and it wasn't helped by the marine layer that blocked out the sun at the end of the day.
Kuchar also started with three birdies, and his day looked even easier. The longest putt he made all day was for par, and that was about 10 feet on No. 8. His opening three birdies were all inside 3 feet, and his longest birdie putt was 8 feet on the par-3 16th. He had no bogeys and signed for a 7-under 64.
Brandt Jobe, returning from a serious neck injury, made four straight birdies late in his round until a bogey on the 18th hole forced him to settle for a 66.
Conditions have rarely looked this good at Riviera, from the firm grass below the feet and the magnificent, sun-filled sky above them — at least until the last couple of hours.
It felt like a working vacation, and it's the latter Kuchar knows so well.
After opening with three straight weeks on the PGA Tour, which featured a pair of top 10s, he spent a week in Palm Springs and then took his family to Hawaii for paddle boarding, snorkeling — just about everything where an ocean is involved.
Getting back to golf, he worked with swing coach Chris O'Connell and felt just as good as he did before his break.
"I think it was Monday we put in a good day of work and I said, 'I need to get out and play.' We went over to L.A. Country Club, played the North Course. I was excited about the things we were working on and excited how I was hitting the ball. ... I think the hot start was certainly a great way to get the round going."
It was a great day for scoring, and Kuchar had plenty of company.
James Hahn, the 31-year-old rookie who shared the 54-hole lead last week at Pebble Beach, and David Lynn of England were at 67. Disney winner Charlie Beljan chose to finish in the fog after play was suspended. He closed with a bogey and had a 67. He had seven birdies.
Eighteen players failed to finish the round, not unusual for this tournament. They were to return Friday morning to finish, and then immediately start the second round.
The group at 68 included Lee Westwood and 53-year-old Fred Couples, a two-time winner of this event who feels rejuvenated when he plays at Riviera. Also at 68 was Fredrik Jacobson, the last man in the 64-man field at the Match Play Championship. With a good week, he won't have to face Rory McIlroy in the first round next week.
Couples played the final Champions Tour event last year and the season opener this year, along with a two-day exhibition. He hasn't practiced much in between.
"So it's surprising, but again, I can figure my way out around this course," Couples said.
He made clean, powerful contact for so much of the day, even producing the longest drive of his group on the par-5 17th over Westwood and Bubba Watson. Couples was pin-high on the hole for a simple up-and-down, the start of three straight birdies.
"It's kind of a golf course that if you play well, you can shoot a decent score," Garcia said. "But if you are not on, you can struggle quite a bit."
Watson struggled.
For the first time in nearly three years — dating to a second-round 73 in the 2010 Honda Classic — the Masters champion failed to make a single birdie. He had a 76.
Phil Mickelson also is trying to regain some form just two weeks after his record performance to win the Phoenix Open. He had said it was imperative to be in the fairway to approach the small greens of Riviera, and three fairways was not the blueprint he had in mind. Mickelson didn't hit a fairway until his 11th hole. Even so, he scratched out a 71 and felt he was only a round away from getting back into the mix.
