Kids in car during sex, drug bust
--Schenectady police say woman prostituted herself, used cocaine with her children present

SCHENECTADY -- In what one officer called one of the most despicable acts he can recall, a Saratoga County woman is accused of prostituting herself and then snorting cocaine from the stomach of her newborn son while breast-feeding him.
Police said Wendy Cook of Saratoga Springs was on a drug-fueled spree Monday when she was arrested during a crackdown on prostitution in the Hamilton Hill, Central State Street and Vale Cemetery areas.
Four other women were also arrested during the operation.
Cook, 37, was being held in Schenectady County Jail on charges of fourth-degree prostitution. She also faces child endangerment charges for allegedly performing oral sex on men during two separate encounters while her 8-week-old son and 5-year-old daughter were in the back seat of the car she was in.
The tot was napping during both incidents but the girl was awake, said police.
Both children are now staying with relatives.
"This ranks near the top of the all-time-despicable-crime list in Schenectady," said city police spokesman Brian Kilcullen, who has been on the force for 13 years.
A woman who Monday night answered a call placed to a Saratoga Springs number listed on the police report said Cook had stayed there for a time. She declined to comment further.
Police investigators said they learned that Cook had been out all night smoking crack and snorting cocaine -- with her children present.
According to the police report, Cook inhaled lines of powdered cocaine off the infant's stomach as she breast-fed him while riding around Schenectady.
Cook was nabbed at 7:13 a.m. Monday at Swan and State streets after she allegedly offered sex for money to an undercover Schenectady police officer working a prostitution sting. It was only then that detectives learned that Cook's two children were in a car a few blocks away on Catherine Street, according to the police report.
After her arrest, she allegedly told a friend she had been thinking about selling the two kids to get more money for drugs, according to the police report.
Cook, who is being held without bail at Schenectady County Jail, is due back in City Court today after being arraigned Monday. She declined a request for a jailhouse interview.
She is charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child, first-degree felony reckless endangerment and fourth-degree prostitution.
Also arrested for prostitution were city residents Florence Bowman, 39; Kattie Yutes, 28; Virginia Weldon, 41; and Catherine Pritchard, 44.

This I found to be just stupid:
Wii remotes get cushy cover
Nintendo offers free silicone jackets to help gamers hold onto slippery remotes.

3-year-old + Wii = Big Trouble

My personal opinion:
I think Nintendo is being far more generous with the gaming community than it should be.
This jacket concept is being offered now even after they went to the trouble of replacing the strap.
...
I'm sorry, I've long held that anyone using the strap and remote as they were designed should not be playing that game system with enough force to not only break the strap, send the remote flying into something (window, tv, lamp), and still have enough force to not only hit, but hit with enough force to break the item in question, is playing way too hard and deserves what they get for their troubles.
EDIT: Even worse, there actually exists someone who made a safety shield and is marketing it for these people....

That's is right, you need something that is going to be able to repel acid, slime devil saliva, and armor piercing bullets. Definately need somethnig along the lines of titanium with kevlar outer coating.
On the other hand, my understanding is that by most magical systems, wood is easier to enchant than metals.

Get cushy cover? Bah... I got me one of these:
Nyko Wii-remote charge station.
It replaces the batteries in the remotes with rechargeable NIMH batteries and a convenient charge station. Damn those wii-motes suck down batteries.
They come with a new battery panel cover to allow the charger contacts through. The new cover comes with a textured rubber pad for better grip. Works great. You can apparently even get individual kits with fancy colored covers for color coding the remotes that your family has already beat the crap out of.

iPod Sets Man's Pants On Fire!
ATLANTA -- The new iPod Nano is hot. But one Douglasville man said his old Nano got even hotter -- hot enough to burst into flames.
"So I look down and I see flames coming up to my chest," said Danny Williams.
Williams said the burn hole from the pocket of his pants marks the spot of his 15 seconds of flame. He said he had an iPod Nano and an glossy piece of paper in his pocket. He believes the paper shielded him from being burned.
"I'm still kind of freaked out that after only a year and a half my iPod caught fire in my pocket," said Williams.
The iPod uses a lithium ion battery -- the same type of battery under recall for setting laptops on fire.
Williams said the fact is iPod Nano burst into flames while he was at work was bad enough, where he works could have been another issue. He works at a kiosk in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
"If TSA had come by and seen me smoking, they could have honestly thought I was a terrorist," said Williams.
Williams said Apple wants him to send his iPod back and they've vowed to replace it. Williams' mother called Channel 2 because she said this is more than one iPod. She said it's about what could have happened.
"It could have happened when we were sleeping, it could have happened when he was driving and the outcome could have been much worse," said Elaine Williams.
After Channel 2 sent Apple pictures of the iPod, they called back but they refused to say how common the problem is. In fact, Apple refused to talk about this particular incident at all.

Someone beat Chrono Trigger in that time span.
I'm still at 23 minutes into it, confirmation later.
