Missouri authorities ID suspect in vehicle theft, chase
Missouri authorities ID suspect in vehicle theft, chase
OMAHA, Neb. —
We now know the name of the man accused of stealing a University of Nebraska Lincoln grounds crew truck before leading authorities on a chase through three states.
Neal Ulfers, 37, faces felony charges of tampering and resisting arrest in Nodaway County, Mo.
Investigators said Ulfers stole the truck from downtown Lincoln on Monday. The keys were left inside, but so was the victim's cellphone.
Authorities used the phone to track the vehicle.

In order to explain with a software engineering example, let us take "traveling salesman problem". This algorithm gives near optimal solution to reach nodes of a graph. This is a single algorithm but can be applied in courier distribution, aircraft industry to optimally fly aircraft between destinations and many more. A mathematician cannot say that he cannot solve airline problem if he can solve traveling salesman problem. If this can work for math, can't it work for solution problems?
Yes, it will work perfectly fine for solving problems. If we have experience in solving a single problem, it gives us knowledge to solve many problem and we understand the process of solving problem. When we are trying to solve the problem, it is the approach that gives us solution. The solution is not really the outcome of knowledge you possess but an outcome of the process you follow, the approach you choose and your ability to think through the problem - techniques are same, tools may be different. In order to solve the most difficult problems, first you need solve one problem and the rest is matter of time.
This is one of the priceless lessons that I learned when I wandered like a mad guy. :-)

Concerns before sending Ayden to school
As you know, Ayden is home-schooled just like his elder brother Ethan during his preschool years. However, I intend to send Ayden to school earlier as I believe he may benefit socially in school. By school I meant those enrichment centres that is not classroom type of learning. We actually planned to send Ayden earlier this year but has been procrastinating as I've been busy. We finally made the effort to pay a visit to […]
How to get your kids to do their revision?
It's the exam week this and next week. Today is an off day though to accommodate the UPSR exam. Since last weekend we have been struggling to get Ethan to do his revision. Remember in my post here I mentioned I had not a productive weekend? That was because we deliberately stayed home so Ethan can do his revision but guess what? He did not. He chose to play instead. My blood boiled telling him […]

School of Tomorrow
If you are an avid reader of our blog, you'd know that Ethan was home schooled until his present age of 5. He will be 6 mid of next year and I think it is only fair to let him experience one year of pre-school in the company of friends. We have yet to register Ethan in any pre-schools as we are in a dilemma on which school to choose. Being a former childhood educator, I've been […]
Bao Bei Reading Wonderland.. any good?
Okay. Since Ethan's reading in English is progressing well, we thought of sending him for Chinese lessons. I am a bit sceptical (being a banana, I'm afraid he might not be able to cope). But I heard that the best age to learn a new language is before the child turns 6 years old. We are looking high and low for a reputable and reliable centre when the obvious came to mind – Bao Bei […]

As promised, I did a gradient using these polishes....
...and the liquid latex I got from So Much Goodness, Purple Nurple.
This is my first time using a liquid latex instead tape and I have to say, this was much easier. I do, however, need a bit more practice putting it on and taking it off.
I applied the polish directly to the sponge and...
...ta-da! Major mess. But thanks to the latex...
...not nearly as much clean up. I used a tweezer to pull the bits off.
Here's the results after a bit more cleanup and topcoat.
Not perfect but I'm happy with it. I really like how the blue on the tips really washed out.
I'll be purchasing more of this miracle stuff from Steph. You can get your own at So Much Goodness by clicking on the shop name.
And le storm is upon me and the tornado siren just went off so I'll say toodles now.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned.

Whitetail Deer Harvest Numbers Are Up in New York State
Whitetail deer harvest numbers are up in New York state and opportunities still remain to get venison in the late season.
There has been around a 9 percent increase in the whitetail harvest throughout New York says the Department of Environmental Conservation in it's bulletin release.
Even with the hunting ending in the Northern Zone 11 December, and bow and muzzleloader only in the southern zone, hunters are still expected to harvest another 15,000 to 20,000 deer.
For those hunters who have not bagged a deer yet the late muzzleloader and bow dates run from December 12-20; and some opportunities will continue until December 31 in Westchester County and Tompkins County in January 14-31 as part of a deer management focus area.
By the end of the regular season, approximately 97-98% of the harvest was complete in the north and 88-89% in the southern zone. Late season usually sees more does taken than bucks as hunters wish to get venison into the freezer.
For more information on the late season hunt and opportunities be sure to see the Department of Environmental Conservation hunting season page.

Android 2.2June 29, 2010 at 9:25 am | Posted in Information, Updates | Leave a comment
I have recently obtained a copy of android 2.2 for my droid (man is it fast..) and Now that I have a development device with 2.2 I can proceed with updating the app to be fully functional with 2.2.
An update to version 1.3.6 should be out sometime this week, but I have other projects to work on now so development on this might go a little slower than usual.

Did you know that I finally started a Kitchenspired Facebook page??
I figured this would be easier to give updates and recipes rather than through my personal FB page. You can get to the NEW Kitchenspired FB page here! (Facebook.com/kitchenspired.recipes). When you like the Facebook page, you will automatically get recipe updates via your newsfeed. Go check it out!
I am so bad at following recipes. It's weird because I'm a clear "J" on the Myers-Briggs type indicator (J= structured, organized, likes a plan…rather than spontaneous and go-with-the-flow). I just find a recipe and get inspiration from it, but end up doing my own thing with it. However, recently I've been wanting to follow other recipes instead of just making up my own. Luckily I bought The Paleo Kitchen cookbook a couple weeks ago and I'm finally getting to make some of the recipes!
Last night from The Paleo Kitchen cookbook, I made Twice-Baked Butternut Squash and Bacon Pecan Cabbage. Both were super delicious and really not that complicated! I also made a batch of Candied Bacon Chocolate Brownies (yes, you heard that correctly!). I think that the type of almond butter I used gave the brownies a weird texture, but they were legit!
Those have been my most recent adventures in cooking. What have you guys been cooking recently?
If you are interested in going paleo, I highly recommend buying The Paleo Kitchen cookbook. It has beautiful photography, over 100 great recipes, but most importantly it has a bunch of great resources and tips for making healthier choices. I think you guys will love it!
And here's Kipling for good measure:
This recipe was one of those "I have nothing in the fridge so I'm just going to put what I do have together and see if it works" meals. And luckily it worked! (For the record- they don't always work) Being back from vacation, I haven't been able to put a lot of thought or effort into grocery shopping or making meals, so it's been about jumbling things together and hoping for the best.
I made this recipe for lunch on the 4th of July and it was so delicious! Really simple and easy, made out of only one skillet, yet flavorful and filling!. I wasn't planning on putting it up on the blog when I made it, but after tasting it I decided it was definitely blog-worthy. Give it a try!
"BLT Turkey"
Yields 3-4 servings
Cook Time: 15- 20 minutes
- 5 pieces of bacon
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 cup spinach
- Cook strips of bacon in a pan over medium heat. You want them to be cooked through but not quite crispy yet. Once they are cooked, set the pieces of bacon on a plate with a paper towel.
- With the remaining grease still in the pan, add your ground turkey to the pan (can adjust heat to medium-high). Break up the turkey with a spatula and keep mixing in the pan, letting it cook.
- Once the turkey is almost cooked through (still a tiny bit of pink), drain your can of tomatoes and add to the pan with the turkey. Add garlic, garlic powder, and dried oregano, and mix well in the pan.
- While the turkey & tomatoes are cooking in the pan, roughly chop your bacon into pieces (i just used my hands and tore it into pieces!). Then add your bacon to the turkey & tomatoes.
- Continue mixing the mixture in the pan. You want to see the tomatoes bubbling just a bit. Lastly, add spinach and cook/mix for another 3 minutes only.
- Remove from heat, let cool, and serve. We enjoyed this by itself, but it would also be delicious on top of a bed of fresh spinach, cabbage, or cauliflower rice.
Be inspired!

A selection of some of my best photos can be found in the Gallery
Some of them can be licensed through Shutterstock
News and latest photos
February 27th 2018 Moving from quantity to quality
The Gallery is now almost full of photos I like and that I am proud of. There are about 100 in all. I have decided to make this a maximum and that each section should be limited to 12. This means that any new photo will displace a photo which I like less (tough choices on the horizon) improving the overall quality of the gallery. Photos on Flickr, 500px and Shutterstock may include those in my gallery but other photos as well.
January 21st 2018 Finally things are in order
Finally I am happy with the contents and the presentation of the Gallery and the Albums. Tis doesn't mean they wont change in the future but the changes will be minor. Now time to take more photos....
January 11th 2018 I'm making progress
I've decided on the way to present my portfolio (the gallery) and its up and working. I now need to carefully select the photos. I have also decided to include an "Album" section for more specific subjects.
January 10th 2018 I'm still struggling to decide on the presentation of my photos
I am still trying to decide how to show my best photos and what software to use to produce the effect I am looking for. Please excuse the mess until I make my decision and clean up the site. If you would like to offer your opinion on the options I have on the site or suggest something else I would love to hear from you.

Do you get paid to follow me around making stupid unoriginal comments? I'm guessing the answer in both cases is no.
but I hope those who DID buy into it take a good, hard look in the mirror.
It was funny though after the Paid Riot Squads tape came out you were so proud that it wasn't the rape tape, remember that?
I guess I might owe an apology, to the anti-NWO people out there, as you've seemingly gotten some weird complex from the whole thing where the only thing that would ever have you have to come clean is the alleged Bill Rape Tape.
In hindsight, it was almost as if I got baited into a Reverse Troll Strawman Maneuver. But then that would mean you were the source of the claim about it being released, to begin with.

Thank You "theantediluvian"!
I've considered a thread such as this filled with all the fabricated posts from them for the past months.
Thread after thread of absolute BS!
Whats even worse is some threads are debunked after just a few post & yet page after page of posts filled with confirmation bias.
It's amazing to watch, these people need to be studied.

The Broncos made it interesting, but they still were on the wrong end of a 5-4 decision to the Calgary Hitmen Wednesday night.
The difference in the game was four powerplay goals by the Hitmen including three consecutive, uninterrupted man advantage tallies which occurred from the second period into the early part of the third.Victor Rask led the way for Calgary with 2G and 1A.
It ruined a solid effort from Christian Magnus who had two (6, 7). Brad Hoban and Richard Nedomlel had singles while Taylor Vause (game's third star) had two assists.
Swift Current had 22 shots on net while the Broncos' goalie and Calgary native Austin Smith faced 38 shots.
Swift Current's next game is March 2 in Red Deer at the Enmax Centrium to play the Rebels.
The Broncos are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

Research & Development
Catalyst Products & Toll Processing:
Magma Catalyst's research & development team works to continuously provide contract manufacturing / toll processing developmental support solutions to meet the increasingly complex challenges faced by catalyst suppliers working within the refining and petrochemical industries.
Magma understands that customers require the highest priority with regards to research and development. We have recently improved our research & development facilities with the addition of pilot/lab scale reactors specifically designed for the testing and development of catalysts. By utilising Magma's pilot plants, the properties of the catalyst can be assessed under realistic operating conditions. This, combined with manufacturing facilities, strategically located in the UK and Brazil, enables us to provide customers with a flexible, adaptable and increasingly geographically significant approach to ensure their requirements are met.
In addition to our steam reforming/DRI activity performance rig, activity performance rig for other catalysts and our DRI/catalyst test rig, we have a range of analytical equipment to assist in our ongoing product development.
View our analytical equipment list
Technical Ceramics & Refractory Products:
Magma undertakes an active research & development (R&D) programme, which runs in conjunction with our Quality Assurance activities.
Magma continuously seeks improved, and where possible, more cost effective raw materials. All potential new raw materials are tested for physical and chemical attributes before being trialled on a laboratory scale as part of the appropriate batch composition. Providing laboratory trials prove to be successful, larger scale works trials are undertaken. Besides possessing acceptable technical requirements, the materials must also be sourced from quality assured suppliers who can demonstrate and prove their reliability in terms of availability, on time delivery and consistently high quality.
The other main avenue in terms of R&D is the development of new and innovative products. For this to be effective, close communication links are encouraged and established with customers to enable a strong understanding of the customers' current and future requirements. This often encompasses product design and customer process developments in addition to product composition. Ready access to a wide range of refractory raw materials means that Magma's already extensive product portfolio is constantly growing in order to meet new challenges as customer requirements change posed by their business demands.

ITALY: "WE'LL CLOSE THE PORTS TO MIGRANT BOATS, It's not going to make a difference unless boats are stopped."
Italy has finally said enough is enough and threatened to close its ports to migrant rescue boats unless the EU offer more help.
The Italian Ambassador in Brussels told the European Commissioner for Migration that Italy can't cope with any more migration, citing the socio-economic impact on certain regions being "unsustainable."
Italy's government has said they will continue rescue missions in the Mediterranean but have called on the EU to help redistribute migrants more effectively, which will certainly anger Eastern European countries which have so far refused to take part in any migrant resettlement program.
Italian officials have said they will prevent NGO boats from docking, as well as EU border boats from the Frontex agency. Sadly the authorities are deluding themselves if they think the answer is to streamline the process for people smugglers.
The only solution, which is recommended by Austria's top soldier, is to stop the boats from coming in the first place and devote resources to proper camps around Libya and Syria.

When you play Würm, it will be up to you to imagine what life was like for our ancestors, and give YOUR OWN vision of this time before time. During your adventures, whether simply surviving or going on perilous hunts or legendary quests, your characters will gain strength, wisdom and prestige by exploring unknown territories, daring to enter the darkness of mysterious caves, seeking out the powers of ancient spirits, or challenging the creatures of the night, the ice and the fire.
Rules were designed to be simple and clear. For the most part, they only require a few 6-sided dice. Most of all, they were designed to be well adapted to the atmosphere of the Stone Age. For example, to develop the characters, you won't need skills and stats, but a number of Strengths and Weaknesses that are connected to specific totems. Additionally, Talents and Secret techniques represent the abilities that a character will have to learn, such as painting, shamanism or certain combat techniques.
The game rules have been developed to be as close as possible to established archaeological sources, carefully relaying what we know of the technical knowledge, the environment and part of the culture of our ancestors. However, the world of Würm also leaves room for a touch of fantasy and adventure: you will therefore find rules that allow you to play with the real powers of totem spirits, as well as a whole range of fantastical creatures living along side the mammoths and the cave bears, such as fire spirits, witches and glacier giants.
So prepare your flint or ivory-tipped spears, and make sure your clan and your totem spirits are behind you. The adventure begins the second you step outside your camp.

It's winter in the desert and there's not much thought going into you landscaping. But, viagra canada did you know that the winter is a good time to trim your desert trees? You can trim desert trees anytime of the year but the winter has certain advantages. Most desert trees lose their leaves in the winter so it's easier to see their branching structure. And, dormant trees mean that there will be much less sap dripping from new cuts.
Keep in mind that this information does not apply to fruit trees. Fruit trees have specific times of the year when they should be trimmed to make sure you get the fruit harvest you're looking for and to help prevent problems such as sunburn.
When trimming trees, your tree trimmer should be looking for a few things in particular.
- Look for mistletoe and remove it.
- Crossing branches should be trimmed off.
- Remove branches that are hanging over your house.
- Broken branches should be taken off.
What should not be done include:
- Don't remove over 25% of the branches at one time.
- Don't top the tree (cutting the top portion off the tree).
- Don't remove the branch collar (this is the bulge that connects the branch to the trunk).
- Don't leave stubs from your branch cuts.

Babies, crystals and eggs!
No time for shoots this week for reasons aforementioned; however, some interesting random facts.
Gisele Bundchen went to BraZil to show her genetically blessed baby to her family, but not to the rest of us..
Swarowski launched a line inspired by Alice in wonderland and apparently so did everyone else (even Avril Lavigne did). I liked the movie but, honestly, merchandising is just pushing it a little overboard.
Today is chocolate day! yay! I read this at farmrio.com/adoro and thought it was worth sharing! Do you know what this means? PIG OUT! Unfortunatly my fellow frozen Canadians (and the not so frozen Americans) have not yet found the glories of chocolate Easter eggs, like the ones we have in Brazil. I feel sorry for the little kids from the north that never experienced the joy of unwrapping a huuuuuuuuge egg entirely made of delicious milk chocolate, like their favorite bars, only a gazilion times bigger -- and better! (I'm trying to find a picture to post here but my internet is being ridiculous right now... )
I'll go back to my slow painful death (my assignments that is) now! On the bright side, its almost over and then its summer baybay! hell yeah...
3 comments:
loved your description on the blessed moment that it is when you're about to open a easter egg hahahaha
but listen, I was actualy reflecting over this Giselle situation, genetic blessed baby you said right? yes, he SHOULD be, but wath if this is one of those ironic cases were the parents are O.O pretty and the kid is >.< OMG nooot so pretty? wonder if that's why she did the michael jackson and covered him up like that... remains de doubt...
lov'ya, xoxo
well, there is always the possibility... however, I will never know because she doesn't show the freaking baby! EVER! soooo frustrating these overprotective parentsReplyDelete
dúvida : eu tenho que comentar em ingles ?
enfim ..
I love everything you write .. way better than globo.com/ego ahahahahahaha
and i want to read the rest of your slow painful death !
miss you loooooots , hate easter eggs AND chocolate and love you more than easter holiday

Reference edit
Description edit
- I think experience has shown that it's best for a Tcl_ObjType author not to call Tcl_RegisterObjType(), but instead to provide a My_GetFooFromObj() routine. objtype registration is an error wrapped in a mistake... name conflicts opportunities, with no sensible collision resolution. All to the endpoint of issuing an invitation to intrude into private spaces. Bleah. The main positive value of the routine Tcl_RegisterObjType() is that it is a routine name by which you can call up the man page that documents the Tcl_ObjType interface.
- DGP, Tcl Chatroom, 2014-05-05
- By the way, Tcl_RegisterObjType is deprecated because its only use is Tcl_ConvertToType... and because its "design" was fundamentally broken.

Racial tensions, hard life 150 years ago.
A snapshot of life in Wilmington, two years after the end of Civil War hostilities, is warranted and shall commence henceforth.
To be certain, it was a difficult time for some and prosperous for others when the Wilmington Evening Star, beginning its publication on Sept. 23, 1867, and continuing unabated since, ensconced on the left banner of its first edition the officers of the newspaper and railroad. What followed thereafter were instructions on filing for bankruptcy.
OK, we can stop this now. Life was tough enough for most people living in the Wilmington area in 1867. Reading about it in tiny print in flowing, passive language and run-on sentences on four pages of broadsheet probably didn't make it much easier.
The city, deeply affected by the war after the Union army captured it, was for the most part trying to recover during the early years of Reconstruction when the newspaper that would ultimately become the Wilmington StarNews was born.
Racial tensions
Joe Sheppard, historian at the North Carolina Room at the New Hanover County Public Library, said the freeing of slaves after the war ended in 1865 saw racial tensions increase. Freed blacks, often well-trained and skilled from their years as slaves, saw business and employment opportunities expand with the support of the Union-installed Republican state government.
From then until 1910, blacks made up a majority of New Hanover County's population, attracted by the jobs in the railroad and shipping industries offered in Wilmington.
"This middle-class black population is granted this opportunity they never had before, which is to prosper, do well and run free businesses, supported by the government," he said. "All of these free black people, particularly those with skills and education, really started to rise."
Meanwhile, poor white farmers, whose land had been destroyed or untended during the war and who didn't have many of the same skills, found themselves on bread lines -- food and many supplies were still rationed by the federal government at the time.
"Life is very tough. There's little food. Things had been laid waste or left fallow ... during the Civil War," he said. "Poor, white people were not doing well at all. They're waiting in line for rations," while seeing blacks working.
"Resentment was growing at this time period already," he said.
While life may have been tough, Wilmington's population still increased in those early years -- until the early 1900s, Wilmington was the state's largest city.
"People were coming off the farms. They didn't have work on farms, so they came to the nearest big city," Sheppard said.
Everyday life
Forget any romantic notions of times of yore. Wilmington in 1867, to put it as delicately as possible, stank. It literally stank.
For one thing, horses and pigs roamed the streets like anyone else. People kept milk cows in their backyards. Garbage collection at the time involved heaving refuse out of a window and counting on the pigs "to come along and eat it," Sheppard said.
On top of that, people tended to dress in dark, heavy wool or cotton suits or full-length dresses, including in the summer.
"This is before toilet paper. This is before deodorants," Sheppard said.
When it was hot, air conditioning didn't exist to cool things down. Movement, on roads that wouldn't be paved for another 40 or so years, was usually done on foot.
Difference in journalism
The paper you read today is vastly different than it was in its infancy. For example, news stories today would not conclude, with no evidence at all, that "the only plausible explanation of the affair" involving a gold watch found hanging on a resident's fence, was that the watch had been stolen by a black man who returned it because he was afraid of the consequences of being caught.
The first editions of the Wilmington Evening Star resembled more of a trade publication featuring train schedules, gossip and prose that today would prompt a bunch of confusion.
From the front page of the first edition: "'Twas night, and the aromatic Arabella and the fuliginous Fitzfoodle, in accordance with a previous arrangement -- play-or-pay being the word -- were seated in the garden. Both were in excellent condition, and showed the benefit of good training."
Reading the rest of the story, available on microfiche at the library, provides no real answers as to what the article is actually about -- it could have been about a play the author had seen, a boxing match, an illegal chicken fight or something else entirely.
Here's the lede from another story on the front page: "A young gentleman, who resides in Alexandria, but has been for some months past employed on the Treasury Extension in this city, has been absent from his post for a few days, on account of the sudden and unexpected termination of a love affair in which he has been engaged. It appears that for three years past he has been paying attentions to a Miss J. of Alexandria, who is said to be a very beautiful young lady, but from want of boldness or some other cause, his suit progressed slowly, and although the parties were engaged, it is said, yet the day for the marriage was not fixed."
It turns out this story was about a jilted lover, the woman's father and a friend breaking into her new home -- she had married another man -- and stealing her jewelry after destroying her fruit garden.
At the time, the Evening Star was one of several newspapers in Wilmington, including pro-Union propaganda, the pro-Confederate Wilmington Journal and the Wilmington Record. The Evening Star outlasted them all. It turned into the Wilmington Morning Star, the Star-News and, eventually, the StarNews we know today.
"It will be eminently a news paper, and will give to its patrons, in a condensed form, all the important news of the day," the paper's first publisher, William Bernard, wrote in that first edition. "It is not yet what we design it to be. Like all new papers, we commence with a limited exchange list, and find our path obstructed by all those little obstacles incident to the inauguration of a newspaper enterprise. These obstacles, however, will soon be removed, when we hope to make The Evening Star a welcome visitor to all its patrons."
"That is all," it concluded.

Nicki Minaj Takes London by Storm, Forced to Cancel Gig
London is crazy for Nicki Minaj. Fans and paparazzi clamored outside the fancy Dorchester Hotel yesterday for a peep at the Young Money femcee's new cotton candy hair-do. Minaj is in Britain, enjoying the country's trademark scones and tea, and promoting her platinum debut 'Pink Friday.' The pandemonium over Minaj even spilled over later into the evening after she announced two surprise gigs in the U.K. capital.
"First stop : Oceana , Second stop : Runway! Let's go LONDON!!!!!!!!" Minaj tweeted on Thursday (Jan. 20.) Her gig at the Oceana club went great, but things didn't go as planned at the trendy Runway club.
"Had a blast @ Oceana! Security issues r now preventing us from entering Runway..." MInaj wrote. According to reports, a fight broke out at the crowded venue and as a safety precaution Minaj decided to bail on the show. The singer was said to have circled the venue several times before making the decision.
But by Friday Minaj was back at it, announcing another appearance in the city. "LONDON!!!! Celebrate my PINK FRIDAY party with me TONITE @ Studio Valbone in the West End!!!!!" Watch out Kate Middleton. As Minaj's 'I'm the Best' lyrics suggest, her next stop might be "the private party at Buckingham Palace."
