8 Awesome Cakes Inspired By Candy Crush
Where there's a trend, there's a cake, and Candy Crush is no exception. In case you're one of the few who haven't given in, Candy Crush is a popular puzzle-like game you can play on multiple platforms including Facebook and your phone. You know you're an addict when you start calling things "divine" or "tasty" because Candy Crush lingo is now so ingrained in your everyday vocabulary.
These cakes inspired by Candy Crush are no easy feat. There's a lot of detail and attention to color that must go into making these things. I think if I were to make a Candy Crush cake I would want to have jelly beans act as my "candy" pieces and I would use Sno-Caps to act as the bomb.
Have you played the game (well duh, of you course you have)? Would you ever feel moved to make such a magnificent cake?

RIEDEL Extreme Restaurant Prosecco Superiore
The diamond-shaped machine-made Prosecco Superiore glass of the eye-catching glass collection Extreme Restaurant provides a wine experience for all your senses. This tulip-shaped glass best supports sparkling wine such as Prosecco Superiore. It allows the beautiful aromas to develop and gives a softer taste to the fine wine. Extreme glasses are named for their extreme contours and have diamond-shaped bowls that angle out dramatically before narrowing at the top. The result is an exceptionally wide evaporation surface that intensifies and enhances silkiness in the mouth of New World wines, which tend to be more fruit driven in style. All RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe.

Bar DJ passionate about his playlist
Miles DiPaola Jr. is known as Bear Skin Rug when he works as a disc jockey at Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar in Allentown. He figures he has about 30,000 songs in his computerized sound library, though what he really likes to play is electronic dance music.
At age 25, DiPaola has been a DJ for three years. His goal every night he plays is to fill the dance floor - whether he's a club DJ at a downtown dance club or wedding DJ at suburban banquet hall. DJs and dancers have a special relationship, Miles believes. They feed off each other.
People Talk: What turned you on to DJs?
Miles DiPaola: My dad was a DJ in Olean. He owned a bar back when punk rock was really popular, so he was a rock DJ and we listened to a lot of the Clash. I remember listening to Pink Floyd's "The Wall." My dad was a huge influence in pushing non-mainstream music onto me. It's probably what got me liking electronic music. He introduced me to Radiohead and Beck. He liked alternative indie rock.
PT: Has he heard you DJ?
MD: No, he hasn't really come to Buffalo to hear me play, but I have sent him mixes of mine. He has a brick-oven bakery in his backyard. He's very passionate about whatever he does. It's the same with me.
PT: Tell me what you do.
MD: I take a format, let's say it's Wednesday Hump Day Hip-Hop, or old-school hip-hop. You just do your homework on the music of that era, and blend all the songs together with each other and do live remixing. There's so many different elements you can have when mixing, whether it's beat-matching a song or mixing keys. I don't stay in one certain genre. I don't like to put myself in a box. It has to sound creative and surprise people.
PT: That is your goal, to surprise people?
MD: My utmost goal is to make people dance, even at a wedding, which a lot of DJs don't necessarily like to do but which I never mind doing. I mean, that's where you'll make your most money around here. Some DJs don't like to work weddings because they have an ego about it.
PT: And you don't have an ego?
MD: I try and keep my ego out of it. I get the best feeling when people are dancing, whether they're dancing to the electric slide or this obscure song that I dug through so many different websites and blogs to find.
PT: What's your stance on volume?
MD: Louder is not better. If you are knowledgeable of your own sound and the music you're playing, you don't need to be making people go deaf. But 90 percent of the DJs think louder is better. A lot of sound guys in bars are deaf. You can actually hear the music more clearly through earplugs.
PT: You must have a lot of groupies.
MD: I have friends who come and see me. I'm not trying to be a rock star. I hate that about DJ culture, like everybody's a DJ now. There is a complete oversaturation of DJs in Buffalo. It's just because the technology has come so far that it's not very expensive to be a DJ now. I'm highly competitive. It's all in the show you put on, and the way you can control people with your music.
PT: Why did you select Bear Skin Rug as your stage name?
MD: It's like a writer would use a pseudonym for a book. Bear Skin Rug is only for when I'm DJ-ing downtown at night. It's just a name to me. I don't even take it that seriously. I think DJ names are kind of stupid, to be honest. I thought Bear Skin Rug was kind of funny and also kind of classy. I knew it would be a name that people would also ask about.
PT: What song will you never play?
MD: It would be stupid of me to shun anything. I mean there are songs I dislike. There are certain songs that I'm sick of hearing people request, like Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." If you're only playing what you like, then you're selfish.
PT: Did you go to college?
MD: I've dabbled in community colleges, so many different majors like nursing to business to a little bit of music. Last semester I had was at NCCC for the audio recording live music production program. I really didn't like it.
PT: Do you feel old?
MD: A little bit. I'd probably feel older if I were more negative about my future.
PT: Under what circumstances would you play the same song twice in one night?
MD: When it's a whole new crowd of people, and knowing that the song will increase their energy level. For example, last week I played the song "Simon Says" by Pharoahe Monch. That's one of my favorite songs lately.
PT: Describe Buffalo's musical taste.
MD: Nineties R&B on bar nights, plus people in Buffalo love old-school hip-hop. We're a college town, too, and a lot of college kids like electronic dance music. If I have an older crowd, I know I can get away with a lot of disco and punk music.
PT: Do you see yourself doing this in 15 years?
MD: I hope so, if I'm not deaf. That's a joke.

Intel's Atom Architecture: The Journey Beginsby Anand Lal Shimpi on April 2, 2008 12:05 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
Return of the CISC: Macro-op Execution
The Pentium Pro was Intel's first CPU that finally ended the RISC vs. CISC debates of the early 1990s. To the programmer it was still a x86 CISC machine like every previous Intel processor, but internally once it received its x86 instructions it decoded them into smaller micro-ops to run on a simpler, faster and more efficient RISC core.
By maintaining backwards compatibility with all previous x86 processors Intel was able to leverage one of the major strengths of its CISC architecture (mainly the installed x86 user base) while continuing to evolve by relying on a high performance RISC core.
It turns out that some x86 instructions shouldn't be broken up into smaller micro-ops because they tend to augment each other. With the Pentium M Intel began fusing certain micro-ops into single operations so that they would go down the processor's pipelines atomically, thus saving power and improving efficiency. Intel called this feature micro-op fusion. If two micro-ops were treated as one when going down the pipeline that effectively increased the "width" of the CPU, allowing more instructions to be operated on at once. The internal core was still very much a RISC machine, it was just able to do a little more in certain circumstances.
The Atom takes things one step further and most x86 instructions aren't even broken down into micro-ops internally. As Atom isn't an out-of-order core, it doesn't exactly make sense for it to have tons of micro-ops in flight since it can't reorder them for optimal execution. Furthermore, by keeping most instructions as single operations Intel is able to effectively increase the "width" of Atom.
Instructions that are of the format load-op-store or load-op execution are treated as a single micro-op by Atom's decoder. In other words, if you have an instruction that loads data, operates on it, and stores the result - that's now treated as a single micro-op instead of being broken up into three. The benefit being that there's only a single micro-op that's going down the pipeline, leaving room for another one. Atom may only be a 2-issue architecture, but in certain situations it can behave like a much wider machine.
Intel has spent much of the past decade perfecting its ability to break down x86 instructions into smaller, RISC-like operations and building very high performance cores to deal with these small atomic operations. What's most interesting is that we've now come full circle where in the quest for greater performance per watt Intel is now doing the opposite and not breaking down these x86 instructions in many cases.

AssBall - Thursday, April 03, 2008 - linkI was a little surprised at first but when I got thinking... I don't really know if my P35 northbridge is even a 90nm chip.
- Why would Intel not want to use its old rock solid 130 process that it spent a ton of money on to build simpler parts than it was designed for. As long as their materials and equipment are working fine for a cheap enough 130 part and there is no dire market for lower power chipsets that fit in an ATX standard...
- Intel's most recent strategy has been to design and manufacture their latest designs on solid existing tech before they shrink it.
I'm also fairly certain that if this little CPU takes off they will have the 90-65 version of it with some simple refinements out in two shakes of a lamb's tail. I'm really surprised myself that they set it up with ddr2 support... but again its so cheap now, why not? Reply
rmlarsen - Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - linkIt is articles like this that make me come back to Anandtech. Well written and researched and with the right level of detail. Keep up the good work!
Woodchuck2000 - Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - linkOne of the best I've seen on Anandtech for quite a while. I've been following this one quite closely and it's great to have such a detailed exposition all in one place.
Do we have any news on the availability of this as a desktop part? I've been looking to construct an always-on server sitting in a cupboard somewhere, just to act as a file/print server and to do a little light database/web hosting for testing and developement. A 1.6GHz Atom would easily provide enough horsepower to accomplish that and with a notebook HDD, the whole thing should stay well under 10W load power consumption!
I saw a photo of Silverthorne + Poulsbo on an Intel reference board built to a Mini-ITX form factor but couldn't find any details on whether they were planning to release it to the general public...
Also any news on when we might expect benchmarks?
Keep up the good work! Reply

tfranzese - Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - linkI'm the one with fuzzy logic today and misinterpreted :) Reply
Magnus Dredd - Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - linkIt is completely true that there are benefits to having a single platform to support. However, the article is completely off the mark about where the benefits are most realized.
It's not the HARDWARE.
It's the API.
It's all about the API. Unless you're writing drivers or an OS you're not writing to the hardware, with VERY few exceptions. The exceptions to this are for optimizations for seriously intense code like Photoshop filters and video game engines, where 90% or more of the code is to the API. So basically one way or another you're writing to an API. That's Application Programming Interface.
Since it was mentioned in the article...
If I'm writing a program that's supposed to run on OSX, the newest version supports TWO hardware platforms (PPC and x86, and not just x86 as the article claimed), and I want to create a "window" using the built in API (named Cocoa) I use the command NSWindow.
It makes no difference when writing the program whether it's a PPC or Intel based machine that it will be running on with the single exception that in a few places you have to use a small bit of code to make sure that the program uses the byte order appropriate to the processor.
While I have yet to read info on it, I'd bet that NSWindow is also used by the iPhone which uses a MIPS cpu (yet a third architecture).
I've written code in ANSI C for Linux that runs without making any changes on PPC, x86(32 bit and 64 bit), and Sparc. If I wanted to go to the trouble I could also compile it on my MIPS based SGI, a Motorola 68000 series Mac, and a HP PA-RISC (if I can ever figure out how to get the damned thing running). That's because nearly all modern applications are compiled.
Now if by PC, Anand meant Windows, we're talking a different story, but one with similar flaws.
So I'm writing an application for Windows and I want to create a "window". I use the win32 command CreateWindow.
So lets just say that I want it to run on an Itanium under Windows... I use the win32 command CreateWindow.
So let's just say that I want to make it run on a WindowsCE based set-top box or internet tablet powered by a MIPS CPU...
I use the win32 command CreateWindow.
Quoting Wikipedia: "It is supported on Intel x86 and compatibles, MIPS, ARM, and Hitachi SuperH processors."
I'm actually somewhat saddened to write this post, mostly due to the the amount of respect I have for Anand and many of the great articles he's written over the years. However, I suppose that it goes that way sometimes.
I just want to make sure that people aren't misled about what makes it hard to port/move a program to another platform like a phone or a BlueRay player. And it's sure as hell not the CPU's instruction set. The CPU may not be fast enough or it's that programs are written for these APIs that may or may not support the hardware. And the fault for this lies with Microsoft, or Apple, or the GTK guys, or Trolltech, or whomever the API belongs to.
Also simply dropping an x86 CPU into a machine does not mean that it can run Windows. With the sales of XP to cease, your only option for the new batch of supercheap x86 laptops like the ASUS EEE, or the cloudbook may be Linux, regardless of the fact that it's x86 based.
The bottom line is, if Microsoft doesn't care about your platform, they won't support it and you won't be able to get it with Windows regardless of what the CPU is.
While I do personally agree that x86 moving "downwards" is a great thing. I just see it taking over for completely different reasons, like Intel's manufacturing prowess. Reply
yyrkoon - Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - linkWindows XP Embedded, and the compact .NET framework while you're talking about 'APIs', and platforms. XPe, and Win2003 Embedded are not going away any time soon, and basically have barely been available on a non beta basis. Although CE Builder could probably do the same thing, and as a matter of a fact I've seen some fairly nifty things done with it(eg: a boot-able image that fits on a floppy with all the functionality of your standard NAS, including User Groups and permission policies).
While sometimes having an OS on an Embedded device may be a hindrance, there are times it can be quite handy. Bank KIOSKs, and Cash registers are only two such examples, and I have worked on/with both that use WinXPe. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - linkAgreed - the API also plays a large part, but for a company like Apple the pain of maintaining both PPC and x86 codepaths is significant. Perhaps the Firefox reference wasn't the best one, especially as I really see the strengths here for software companies like Apple (not to mention what other conventional hardware companies may start looking more like software companies as their devices get more complex).
I think you've also hit on a major issue going forward: Microsoft is going to have to focus on these not-PCs a lot more seriously in the future. Instead of trying to scale Windows down, it needs a MCE-esque approach to these "fast enough" devices. Apple made the right first step with the iPhone OS, Microsoft can't stand by idle for too long without a good alternative. And MS does love x86... :)
Take care,
Anand Reply

Baylor Students Will Serve Waco Community During Steppin' OutApril 2, 2014
Follow us on Twitter: @BaylorUMediaCom
Media contact: Lori Fogleman, (254) 710-6275
WACO, Texas (April 2, 2014) –Baylor University student organizations will volunteer to work together during Steppin' Out on Saturday, April 5, to improve Waco through community service.
Tyler Couch, student director of the Steppin' Out steering committee, said there are a variety of jobs that students will be assigned to do all over Waco.
"We paint houses, do yard work, partner with community gardens, and this semester we've placed a big emphasis on working with agencies and churches in the community," he said.
Couch said one agency the committee has partnered with is Keep Waco Beautiful, an organization that seeks to increase pride in the city by picking up trash.
"The thought there is that if you live in a clean neighborhood, you're going to take more pride in it and want to see it improve more," he said.
Couch said the homeowners and organizations who partner with Steppin' Out are generally "very thankful" when the day is over.
"We've had an incredibly positive response," he said. "I think people really enjoy getting to interact with Baylor students and getting to work with them on different projects to make Waco a more positive city to live in."
Baylor's inaugural Steppin' Out was held in the spring of 1985 as a week of events leading to a full day of service. As the event grew, it became a one-day event during the fall and spring semesters. The event strives to enhance student involvement in community service and attain community awareness, interaction, and collaboration between Baylor University and the Waco community.

Based on the success of our Carhartt Rental Workwear line and the fact that this is one of Carhartt's best-selling items, we are confident the Carhartt Rental Active Jacket will be well-received.
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) November 03, 2011
Cintas Corporation, North America's largest uniform supplier, has added a popular Carhartt Rental Active Jacket to its Carhartt Rental Workwear line. This addition was prompted by an overwhelming demand by Cintas customers, many of whom work outdoors and in cold temperatures.
"Carhartt is synonymous with outerwear, so with colder months approaching, this was a natural addition and ideal timing," says Chuck Helmes, National Director of Garment Strategy for Cintas Corporation. "Based on the success of our Carhartt Rental Workwear line and the fact that this is one of Carhartt's best-selling items, we are confident it will be well-received."
The Carhartt Rental Active Jacket is available in Carhartt brown and features a quilted flannel lining for warmth, an attached hood, two large lower outside front pockets and secure inside pockets, triple-stitched seams for added durability and a heavy-duty zipper. It is available in sizes small through 5XL.
The Carhartt Rental Active Jacket, along with the rest of the Carhartt Rental Workwear line, was developed exclusively for Cintas. Workers will appreciate the styling, durability and rugged performance one would expect from Carhartt with the added benefits of laundering, repair and replacement that accompany a Cintas Rental Program. Businesses can now supply Carhartt, a brand that workers recognize and trust, in a cost effective manner, while increasing morale and exuding a professional company image.
The Carhartt Rental Workwear line launched in 2010 as part of a new partnership between Cintas and Carhartt, which was founded in 1889 and is a global manufacturer of premium rugged apparel.
"We look forward to the continued success of our rental workwear partnership with Cintas and are excited to add the Carhartt Active Jacket into the Carhartt rental apparel product offering – a very popular style that our consumers know, love and trust," said Rick Fecowicz, director of Carhartt Licensing.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina attorney general's office says a Confederate flag hanging in a chapel at The Citadel is protected by state law.
A local councilman had wanted to withhold nearly $1 million in funding from the Charleston military school unless the flag was removed.
But an opinion issued Tuesday by state Solicitor General Robert Cook says the flag is protected by the state's Heritage Act. It covers monuments and memorials on public property that are dedicated to wars in which the state fought or to African-American or Native American history.
Cook's opinion says no one can force the flag's removal or relocation.
Citadel Board of Visitors Chairman Michael Steele says in a statement that while the flag brings up strong emotions, the school hopes the opinion will bring closure to the issue.

A Child Under the Age of Eighteen.
1. The offense of indecent liberties requires a showing of intent to satisfy sexual desires, because without that showing, the touching may have been inadvertent. The factfinder is entitled to make reasonable inferences based on all the evidence and testimony presented.
2. Under the facts of this case, the numerous touchings over a period of a year or more, the desire for secrecy, and the sharing of sexual knowledge and behavior with other children support a finding that the juvenile offender's actions were not accidental and prove intent to arouse or satisfy sexual desires.
3. K.S.A. 21-3504 does not specify the age of the offender; it only mentions the age of the victim. The plain, unambiguous language of K.S.A. 21-3504 allows prosecution of a 12-year-old for aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
4. In Kansas, the decision of a trial court to deny or grant a jury trial in a juvenile proceeding is not subject to appellate review.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; JAMES L. BURGESS, judge. Opinion filed September 3, 1999. Affirmed.
William F. Cummings, of Cummings & Cummings, L.L.C., of Wichita, for appellant.
Doyle Baker, assistant district attorney, Nola Foulston, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before MARQUARDT, P.J., ELLIOTT, J., and LARRY T. SOLOMON, District Judge.
MARQUARDT, J.: A.C.W. (A.), a 12-year-old, appeals his adjudication for aggravated indecent liberties with his 8-year-old half-sister, J.
A. was charged with aggravated indecent liberties pursuant to K.S.A. 21-3504(a)(3)(A) or, in the alternative, K.S.A. 21-3504(a)(3)(B).
The police were called to a disturbance at J.'s home. J.'s mother said the argument started because A. "had been sexually molesting [J.] and the problem had not been dealt with." J. told Officer Mallard that her parents were arguing because her brother was touching her privates.
Prior to trial, A.'s attorney requested that A. be given a jury trial. The trial judge denied the request. After presentation of the evidence, the trial judge found A. to be a juvenile offender in violation of K.S.A. 21-3504(a)(3)(A) or, in the alternative, K.S.A. 21-3504(a)(3)(B).
A. was placed on probation and ordered to undergo sex offender treatment. The journal entry also ordered A. to provide blood and saliva specimens to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. After the sentencing hearing, the trial judge issued an order nunc pro tunc correcting the original journal entry. The corrected journal entry found that there was enough evidence to support a conviction on both counts. A. filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied. A. now appeals the motions, trial, adjudication, and disposition of the district court.
A. argues the State did not prove A. performed the acts with the intent to satisfy his sexual desires, as required by the statute. A. contends the State cannot infer intent from his actions, which is commonly done in adult prosecutions. Rather, he says, the State must prove A. had the intent to satisfy his sexual desires. A. maintains his actions were motivated by innocent sexual curiosity.
The standard of review on a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence requires this court to review all the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution. If the court is convinced that a rational factfinder could have found the respondent guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, a challenge to the juvenile adjudication should fail. In re B.M.B., 264 Kan. 417, 433, 955 P.2d 1302 (1998).
This is an issue of first impression in Kansas. The State of Washington considered an identical argument in State v. T.E.H., 91 Wash. App. 908, 960 P.2d 441 (1998). In that case the child's attorney argued that the State must prove the juvenile's understanding of the issues of sex and that the juvenile enjoyed the act or was sexually stimulated. 91 Wash. App. at 916. The Washington Court of Appeals stated that the offense of indecent liberties requires a showing of sexual gratification because without that showing the touching might have been inadvertent. The court found the act was not inadvertent. The court noted that the factfinder is entitled to make reasonable inferences based on all the evidence and testimony presented. 91 Wash. App. at 916-17.
Recently, the United States Supreme Court decided a case where a child was alleged to have sexually harassed another child at school. Davis v. Monroe County Bd. of Ed., 526 U.S. __, 143 L. Ed. 2d 839, 119 S.Ct. 1661 (May 24, 1999). The Court allowed a fifth grade girl to proceed with a Title IX suit against her school district. The plaintiff in Davis was repeatedly molested by a classmate who attempted to touch her breasts and genital area. The court found that the acts were "severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive." 143 L. Ed. 2d at 860.
J. said A. always "ask[ed] [her] to make love with him" and became angry when she refused. J. also said A. asked her to touch his "private," and that he touched her privates while she was sleeping. A. told her he was having sex with his girlfriend, and he was always asking neighbor children to touch his privates.
Because A. threatened to harm her, J. was afraid to tell any of her family. J. told the social worker she did not like getting her brother "in trouble" and that she would not be saying anything if it were not true.
Greg, the children's father, testified that he had received reports from neighbors that A. was telling other children how to masturbate and perform sexual intercourse. Officer Zamorano testified that Greg told him that, "[b]asically, [A.]'s been playing with [J.]'s vagina and has done [sic] several times to arouse himself." Greg testified at A.'s hearing and said that initially he felt A. was just "sexually curious." Greg came to this conclusion after hearing A. say, "It's time to play show and tell." Greg then approached the bed where his children were and saw A. trying to zip up his pants. Greg admitted that his son's behavior was "not right" and inappropriate.
Detective Hein, who also testified at A.'s hearing, spoke with Greg during his investigation. Greg allegedly confirmed J.'s story about A. touching her while she was in the bathroom. Greg allegedly told Detective Hein he wanted to make sure A. received therapy. On cross-examination, A.'s attorney asked Detective Hein if he spoke with any of J.'s neighbors. Allegedly, the neighbor told Detective Hein that J. frequently lies and makes up stories. However, Detective Hein also said several neighborhood children confirmed J.'s story about A. always wanting to have sex with J.
J.'s mother, Patricia, was concerned about A.'s behavior. Patricia confronted A., who admitted to "messing with" J. Apparently, a neighbor overheard this conversation and confirmed that A. confessed to molesting J.
The testimony given at A.'s hearing provides sufficient evidence to support the charge of aggravated indecent liberties. J. testified about the numerous times her brother inappropriately touched her. These statements were confirmed by her father and other neighborhood children. A.'s desire for secrecy supports the fact that he knew his actions were inappropriate. The inappropriate touches were clearly not accidental; the abuse apparently continued over a period of 1 year or more. Additionally, A. shared his knowledge of certain sexual behaviors with other children. The nature of the acts themselves, combined with A.'s obvious sexual maturity, prove intent. A. has provided no authority that would persuade this court to decide otherwise. There was sufficient evidence to support intent.
A. contends the Kansas Legislature never intended for a 12-year-old to be prosecuted under K.S.A. 21-3504, the statute which criminalizes aggravated indecent liberties. A. made this argument during his motion to dismiss. A.'s attorney admitted there was no legislative history to support his position. A. contends the purpose of K.S.A. 21-3504 is to protect the young children from pedophiles.
Interpretation of a statute is a question of law, and this court's review is unlimited. Hamilton v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 263 Kan. 875, 879, 953 P.2d 1027 (1998). When a statute is plain and unambiguous, the appellate courts will not speculate as to the legislative intent behind it and will not read such a statute so as to add something not readily found in the statute. The court must give effect to the intention of the legislature as expressed, rather than determine what the law should be. In re Marriage of Killman, 264 Kan. 33, 42-43, 955 P.2d 1228 (1998).
The Kansas Juvenile Offenders Code mentions K.S.A. 21-3504 in two places. K.S.A. 38-1603(b) establishes special statutes of limitation for certain offenses, including K.S.A. 21-3504. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 38-1610(b), dealing with expungement of records, specifically mentions K.S.A. 21-3504. In Kansas, a juvenile is a person between 10 and 18 years of age. K.S.A. 38-1602(a).
We hold that the legislature intended for K.S.A. 21-3504 to apply to persons under 14 years of age. K.S.A. 21-3504 does not specify the age of the offender; it only mentions the age of the victim. The plain, unambiguous language used in the statute allows prosecution of a 12-year-old for aggravated indecent liberties. A.'s argument is without merit.
A. argues the juvenile justice system has become more punitive than paternal since changes were made in 1984. A. claims the consequences of a felony juvenile adjudication are so similar to an adult felony conviction that a jury trial is warranted.
It is well settled in Kansas that the decision of a trial court to deny or grant a jury trial in a juvenile proceeding is not subject to appellate review. In re J.T.M., 22 Kan. App. 2d 673, 681-82, 922 P.2d 1103, rev. denied 260 Kan. 993 (1996). A.'s argument is not without merit. However, this court is duty bound to follow Kansas Supreme Court precedent. 22 Kan. App. 2d at 682. We do not have jurisdiction to consider this argument.

What to expect at an STI clinic, including tests, treatment, and the questions you may be asked.
Getting tested and treated for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is straightforward and confidential. Most infections can be cured.
A sexual health or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic specialises in sexual health, and can provide tests and treatment for many STIs.
You can make an appointment to go to an STI clinic, or sometimes there's a drop-in clinic, which means you can just turn up without the need for an appointment.
You might feel embarrassed, but there's no need – the staff at these clinics are used to testing for all kinds of infections. It's their job and they won't judge you. They should do their best to explain everything to you and make you feel at ease.
You can go to a sexual health clinic whether you're male or female, whatever your age, regardless of whether or not you have STI symptoms. If you're under 16, the service is still confidential and the clinic won't tell your parents.
If they suspect you or another young person is at risk of harm, they might need to tell other healthcare services, but they will talk to you before they do this.
Find sexual health services near you, including sexual health and GUM clinics.
When you go to a sexual health clinic, you'll be asked for your name and some contact details.
You don't have to give your real name if you don't want to. If you do, it will be kept confidential. Your GP won't be told about your visit without your permission.
If you have tests and the results aren't available during your visit, the clinic will need to contact you later, so give them the correct contact details.
The clinic will ask how you want to receive your results. They can usually be given to you over the phone, by text, or in an unmarked letter.
You will see a doctor or a nurse, who will ask you about your medical and sexual history.
Be prepared to answer questions about your sex life, including:
You can ask to see a female or male doctor or nurse if you prefer, but you might have to wait longer than usual for one to become available.
The doctor or nurse will tell you what tests they think you need. They should explain what is going on and why they are suggesting these tests. If you're not sure about anything, ask them to explain.
The tests might involve:
Testing for chlamydia and gonorrhoea usually requires only a urine sample or a self-taken swab for a woman. Testing for HIV and syphilis needs a blood sample.
Tests for herpes aren't usually done unless you have sores on your genitals or anus. In this case, a swab will be taken from a sore. This will be uncomfortable for a moment.
Find out more about:
With some tests, you can get the results – and treatment, if you need it – on the same day. For others, you might have to wait for a week or two. If this is the case, the clinic will check how you would prefer to receive your results.
If you test positive for an STI, you will be asked to go back to the clinic to talk about your results and the treatment you need.
Many STIs can be cured with antibiotics. Some infections, such as HIV, have no cure, but there are treatments available. The clinic can advise you on these and put you in touch with a counsellor.
If possible, tell your sexual partner and any ex-partners so they can get tested and treated as well.
If you don't want to do this, the clinic can usually do it for you – it's called partner notification and the clinic won't reveal who you are.
The best way to protect yourself from getting or passing on an infection is to use a condom every time you have sex. The clinic can give you some condoms so you can practice safer sex.
Always buy condoms that have the CE mark or BSI kite mark on the packet. This means they've been tested to high safety standards.
Condoms that don't have the CE mark or BSI kite mark won't meet these standards, so don't use them. Get tips on using condoms properly.
Bear in mind that having had an STI once doesn't make you immune to it – you can get the same infection again.
Sexual health and GUM clinics have the greatest expertise in testing and treatments for STIs, but you can also go to:
They may be able to offer tests for some infections and advise you on where to go for further help.
Does anal sex have any health risks?
How long before STI symptoms appear?
What infections can I catch through oral sex?

What could be better than bread, butter and cheese? Well, perhaps bread, butter, cheese, habanero salsa, sweet jam and bacon. At least that's what our Product Manager, Tanner, decided as Executive Judge at the Grilled Cheese Invitational last weekend.
On Saturday morning Tanner drove the Boulder Canyon van to downtown LA to taste 30-40 grilled cheese sandwiches and hand out 10,000 bags of Boulder Canyon chips. How did he get so lucky? For the second year, Boulder Canyon was the official potato chip sponsor of the event – and boy, is it a fun event to sponsor!
Started by Tim Walker in 2003 as a competition between friends, the Grilled Cheese Invitational has grown into an annual event with 200 competitors this year and 30,000 grilled cheese sandwiches. As you can see, these guys have quite the sense of humor from the entertaining opening ceremony to the grilled cheese category names (including Missionary, Kama Sutra and Honey Pot).
As soon as Tanner arrived back at the office it was question time. We needed the scoop.
Best Plain Grilled Cheese (aka "Love, American Style"): "It had lots of cheese, melted perfectly. The bread wasn't burnt, and it had the perfect amount of gooeyness."
Could've-Lived-Without Grilled Cheese: "The one with stinky cheese, rabbit and onions." Props to him for even trying it.
Most Delicious Grilled Cheese: "I gave out an award to my favorite sandwich named 'Spicy Love Making.' It was on a roll with a special kind of cheese – I think Gouda – with bacon, habanero salsa and sweet jelly. It was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy." Y-U-M
Tanner's Takeaway: "I didn't know there were so many different grilled cheese sandwiches! I've always been more of a cheese, butter and bread kind of guy but now that I see how people have branched out I'm ready to get more creative in the kitchen."
Maybe it will inspire some new chips flavors?! Habanero…Sweet onion…Spicy bacon? What do you think?

Many gardeners love scented geraniums (Pelargonium) for their foliage that releases fragrance when the leaves are rubbed. Gardeners may be less familiar with other members of the Pelargonium genus that have flowers that release a strong fragrance in the evening.
Many of these night-scented geraniums actively grow in winter from tubers. They bloom from March through May and then go dormant in summer. These South African natives can only be grown outdoors in the U.S. in frost-free areas. However, they make great houseplants in a sunny window or greenhouse.
One of the best species to grow is Pelargonium triste, which produces pale yellow flowers with maroon markings. In the evening the flowers exude a heady vanilla scent until morning. After flowering, the leaves yellow and the plant goes dormant. Stop watering and store the potted plant in a cool, dry location until fall when it starts growing again.
For more information on these night-scented geraniums, go to: Geraniaceae.com.

NEW YORK (AP) — Avon has appointed a former Procter & Gamble executive as head of marketing for the beauty products company.
It is one of several recent leadership changes as the New York company tries to turn around its business.
Avon Products Inc. said Patricia Perez-Ayala will become its senior vice president, chief marketing officer and global brand and category president next month. She will be responsible for global management of Avon's brand and marketing.
Perez-Ayala previously worked for consumer products giant P&G as its vice president and general manager of its Eastern European business.
Avon is struggling to improve its performance after suffering through declining sales, a bribery investigation and other issues. The company has brought in a new CEO, tried to cut costs and focus on improving sales through international markets.
