Chefs tour
We are planning on a SOS cruise in August.
I read a message that someone was given a tour of the kitchen/chef's
facilities. How does one arrange this?
Also, are there special arrangements to tour the engine rooms, etc.
My husband is an instrumentation/electrician and is interested in this.
This will be our second cruise aboard the SOS, we are anxious to see
the new refurbishments.
Chance are very good that you will not be able to arrange these tours. I was recently on a RCCL ship with a rep from RCCL. She had a galley tour planned for us and it was canceled because of security reasons. She was told they do not do them any more since 9/11.
Carnival still gives a kitchen/galley tour, but I don't think RCL does. Nearly all the ships used to give an engine room tour, but since 9/11 I don't know of a single line that allows access to these areas. It's a shame, because it's an amazing tour!
You'll enjoy the cruise anyway, and if you're lucky, you're husband might be able to corner one of the engineers aboard, and talk to him about the "inner workings" of these great ships. It's fascinating!

Well that escalated quickly Here is the Dallas Stars beat writer: Jaromir Jagr to Boston. I'm hearing two prospects and a draft pick. — Mike Heika (@MikeHeika) April 2, 2013 Just about an hour ago, ESPN's Pierre Lebrun said that the Boston Bruins were the front-runners for Jaromir Jagr and it looks like the Boston Bruins have him. It's not super official yet, and as we learned with the blown up Iginla trade last week we should wait for it to be official, but I don't think Pittsburgh is going to be swooping in for Jagr at the last minute. Again, Jagr deal _ for two prospects and a pick _ still pending trade call with league — Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) April 2, 2013 Until then, JAGR PARTY AT MY PLACE!

Dec 25, 2011This movie was absolutely painful to watch. The humour is very childish - fart jokes are NOT funny. After cringing for the entire start of the movie, I ended up walking out because it was so bad.
Jan 7, 2013Elf is a sad piece of material. Will Ferell does his best to save the movie but becomes extremely annoying with his tactics. A childish, stupid movie with a few laughs here and there.
Mar 18, 2014Will ferrel is a funny in anchorman and the campaign . but this movie stinks . it is funny but it is gay like turbo the snail and free birds . it is the Christmas movie i have ever seen
Ferrell is a hoot. So is much of this witty holiday family entertainment, which, up until the end, when the true spirit of Christmas must be reaffirmed, happily favors slapstick over treacle.
More likely to end up on the snow pile of forgettable Christmas-themed movies than in the vault of memorable ones.
Ferrell makes the damn thing work. Even though he can't get naked or use naughty words, there's a devil of comedy in Ferrell, and he lets it out to play. Director Jon Favreau has the good sense to just stand out of his way.

We stay here for 4-5 nights in March, in excess of fifteen times. Certainly not fancy but we feel we receive more than our dollar value. With only one rare exception the staff has been exceptional. Not bad considering 68+ days. In the past it was nice being able to charge on-site restaurant fees to the room but the new owners do accept credit and debit cards. For times when the on-site restaurant is closed across the street and within a :04 walk there are several fast food and restaurant options. We usually walk to the nearby grocery store (less than :04 walk), and stock-up on fruit, snacks, etc. The airport courtesy van is a huge plus, drivers have always been kind, helpful and punctual. The rooms could be updated but overall they have always been do than adequate. Yes, we are aware we are not on a cruise ship but we feel our money is well-spent.
I read other feedback re fumes from pot smoking in the halls. We have not encountered that issue but if we did we would immediately call the front desk. If not handled quickly our next call would be the police. Both of us have jobs that include drug and alcohol testing, we simply cannot allow ourselves to be exposed to such issues. Add to that serious allergies to all smoke - we are pro-active our own well-being and health.
I have had packages shipped to the hotel, scheduled to arrive just prior to our arrival. Without exception during check-in the front desk staff would advise the packages were there prior to me asking. Unlike some hotels (think Vegas), they did not charge me to claim my own packages.
I am currently making hotel reservations for the next four months, this one will be my first.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Newly renovated Summer 2006, we are located just minutes from Oakland International Airport and walking distance from Network Associates Coliseum and Arena. We have newly remodeled guestrooms which now include complimentary High Speed Internet access and Wifi access is also available in the lobby, restaurant, and meeting rooms. We have a 24 hour fitness room, outdoor pool, coin laundry, and our 24 hour courtesy shuttle goes to the airport or Coliseum BART station. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Wyndham, Hotels.com, Priceline, Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, BookIt.com, Despegar.com, TripOnline SA and Tingo so you can book your Days Hotel Oakland Airport reservations with confidence.

text: I recently installed Lloydz new Hi-Flow air filter and instead of following the instructions I left in place the stock plastic ring that goes around the front edge of the frame above the filter hole. I was concerned about water ingress during rain storms so I cut the stock plastic piece so it fit the new filter, which left in place the rubber seal at the front edge. Since doing this i've seen that others remove this seal to gain HP. My question is has anyone ever had problems with ingesting water during heavy rain after removing the rubber seal?

Another hedge fund has sued Perry Capital over an alleged deal for a piece of claims against the Bernard Madoff estate.
According to Solus Alternative Investments, which filed the suit in New York State court in Manhattan on Tuesday, Perry reneged on an agreement to sell Solus a portion of its Madoff interests. The value of Madoff claims on the secondary market has been rising as the legal challenges to trustee Irving Picard continue to dwindle, and investors sense that the $9 billion and counting he has collected could soon be making its way to claimholders.
Solus said that, with the assistance of Deutsche Bank, which sold Perry the Madoff claims, Perry and Solus were ready to close the transfer between them by early last month. The New York-based firm said that Perry agreed to the trade both over the telephone and in Bloomberg instant messages.
"Despite repeated demands by Solus since early June, Perry Capital has refused to honor the binding contract," Solus alleged. "Suffering a case of seller's remorse, Perry Capital went radio silent and told its lawyers to put the pens down."
Solus is seeking $20 million in damages.

5. Swim with Whale Sharks in Utila
The Bay Islands, off the north coast of Honduras, make up a unique clump of paradise, with immediate access to world class diving. Each island has its own culture, rhythm, and vibe. Utila is the most low-key and affordable of the Bay Islands, the perfect place to finally get that PADI Open Water Diver certification you've been talking about. Utila is small, but just big enough for an airstrip so you can fly there. Go during a full moon in April or May and you can swim with whale sharks, the largest fish in the world. You won't soon forget jumping in the water with a creature as big as a school bus. ($180 for PADI Open Water Diver Certification; $40 for a single-day, two-take adventure dive; utiladivecenter.com)

As a result of the recent change
in the State of Arizona's recognition of marriage between same-sex couples, the
Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) and NAU health plans now recognize same-sex
spouses under the definition of eligible dependents as a legal spouse. Same-sex domestic partner coverage has been offered pursuant to a
preliminary injunction in Diaz v. Brewer (Case No. 2:09-cv-02402 JWS), pending
in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. Because same-sex couples may now marry, same-sex
domestic partners will no longer be eligible for coverage in the health plans
effective January 1, 2015, or the date the preliminary injunction is lifted,
whichever is later.
The university offers the following domestic partner health care options
Your domestic partner dependent(s) do not need to qualify as a tax dependent to qualify for health care coverage. However, if your domestic partner dependent(s) do not qualify as a tax dependent(s), you may be taxed on any additional employer's contribution toward that coverage.
The Worksheet for Determining Support can assist you in determining your domestic partner dependent(s) qualify as a tax dependent, but we recommend you also consult with a tax advisor to be sure you are clear on the tax implications for your individual situation.
To enroll your domestic partner you must complete, sign and return the following to Human Resources:
To enroll the children of your domestic partner you must also complete a Domestic Partner's Child Declaration of Tax Status form for each child.
Once all forms and documentation are received and approved, then the HR Benefits team will process your enrollment.

2001 Hyundai Elantra Problems
If the automatic transmission does not shift properly and the Check Engine Light illuminates, the speed sensors in the transmission may have failed. The sensors are simple and inexpensive to replace.
Prior to replacing the automatic transmission fluid (to improve shift quality), make sure that the transmission fluid level is correct. Also, make sure the computer that controls the transmission has the most up-to-date adaptive programming information. When servicing these transmissions be sure to use fluid approved by Hyundai.
A failing vapor canister purge valve may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. This valve is part of the evaporative (EVAP) emission control system.

2001 Hyundai Elantra Recalls
Hyundai is recalling 2001–2003 Elantra and Tiburon vehicles in areas of the country with heavy concentrations of road salt usage. Corrosion and thinning of the steel in the front lower control arms may progress to a point where the panels become perforated, which can cause a fracture between the ball joint and pivot attachments to the chassis. This could reduce driver control over the vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the affected front lower control arms.
2001 Hyundai Elantra Reviews
Bought new in April '01 (after our daughter bought one in November 2000. Front rotors warped at about 40K. Turned them and am about to replace them at 115K. Wind noise became a recall item too late for us to benefit. Radio failed at about 40k and was not covered by wty. Had an intact manifold gasket go at about 88k, but by-passed dealer. Found out it would have been covered. Dealer replaced fro...
My Elantra has 110k I had it for about 7 years and never really had a major problem with it until now. It seems to be stuck in second or third gear I have not a clue as to what that could be. The engine light came on and the car let out a rough and loud hard shift. The A/C leaks in the inside on the passenger side and I just replaced the alternator. The car has been great except for this prob...
Have 168K on my GT. Very pleased. Some unresolved electrical issues with rear brake lights burning out. Next car will likely be a Hyundai.

Uh oh, looks like there is mutiny in the conservative ranks - how can they endorse this tax raising left wing liberal! Oh wait, they are media eliteYes two papers that have NEVER endorsed a democratic nominee - liberal rags!http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2008/10/chicago-tribune.htmlThe Chicago Tribune is Democrat Barack Obama's hometown paper, so you might think its endorsement of him for president today is a no-brainer.Not so much. The paper's editorial board is conservative and this is what it said: "This endorsement makes some history for the Chicago Tribune. This is the first time the newspaper has endorsed the Democratic Party's nominee for president." The paper first published in 1847, the Obama campaign says. Click here to read the Trib's reasoning.The Los Angeles Times also made history today by endorsing Obama. It has not endorsed a presidential candidate since Richard Nixon in 1972, and it has never before endorsed a Democrat.
vpratt,lol...I like to think of them watching too, and shaking their heads, wondering what's happened to their noble vision for Democracy.I'm astonished, myself, by how little American citizens really know about how this country came to be, or that it's its promise of freedom and the pursuit of happiness is a feagile bargain, that will not last without vigilence and participation in securing the principles as they are laid out so elegantly in the Constitution.All great empires collapse - eventually. Some sooner than later. I'm hoping America gets a reprieve from the slippery slope of degregadation we're on. I think eight years of working together to regain our reputation and economic prosperity will save us - for at least another 200 years..-:)
Dummy. Quote all of them just to twist and mislead. Each and everyone of them was a deist. They would say exactly such a thing about Christianity. You show your ingnorance in a sad attempt to be intelligent.
You're a sad pathetic bigoted soul. It pains me to read a post like this...Some enlightening quotes from our founding fathers:"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weakminds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."-- Jefferson in a letter to his nephew"Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man."-- Jefferson"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both superstition, bigotry, and persecution."-- Madison"Lighthouses are more useful than churches."-- Franklin"I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved -- the Cross. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!"-- AdamsOver 200 years later science has changed our understanding of the world in unfathomable ways, yet our leaders and the likes of you insist on clinging onto mythology that our founding fathers soundly rejected centuries ago.May peace and knowledge find a way into your life.
You really are an ignorant man. You only want to argue. How do you know what the taliban's views consist of?
"Maybe it is just me, but if there is a god, I suspect we will be better off by letting he or she decide who to help."Now THAT's a concept that could work!!! Do you think we could pull that off? I wish it could be so. On the basis of interpretations of his/her will, we (mankind)have made quite a grand mess of things.
No, never said the Republican party was the party of God, dufuss. I said, he chose race above God. He chooses to support infatacide over God, amongst other issues. You people think you are so smart. Your own intelligence brings you down. You twist and contort the good of this world and the heavens, to the point where you think evil is good. You support infantacide, euthanasia, homosexuality, sodomy and say it is good. That is the truth of the matter. Yes, Im' out with it. You are at the very most, pitiful. I hope one of these days you will come around and figure out which way is up and which is down.
Well, I say that Obama is not associated with the "merchants of poverty" as you call them, Jackson and Sharpton. Don't you remember when Jackson said he wanted to cut Obama's cojones off? That was just this summer, too. I think Obama is much closer to a technocrat, and will govern accordingly. Think the new black mayors (not Kwame! not! Kwame!). Think Adrian Fenty in DC. Corey Booker in Newark. If I have a problem with Obama, it's actually that he's too corporate, too go-along.Back in his law school days, he made it a point to befriend the Federalist Society types, and when he became Harvard Law Review Editor, he put three of them in powerful positions, enough to really pi$$ off those who thought having a black review editor would mean all the plum jobs would go to other minorities. He could have just done that in the Jesse Jackson mode - it was the mid 80s and that was the expected MO.Then in Chicago, he didn't really find his political legs until he started building a multiracial coalition. He couldn't make it there solely as a "black" politician. This was after he lost to the former Black Panther for Congress. The south Chicago people didn't think he was black enough, which was a common sentiment early in the presidential primary campaign (how easily we forget...), when many black people (I talked to plenty here in New York) still backed Hillary. And, if you ride the bus in certain areas here in NYC, you'll still hear this stuff, amusingly enough. My point is, I know you think he's a bombthrower, but his whole political life is based on a rather cautious multiracial coalition building strategy, not the identity/grievance politics of Jackson and Sharpton. It's how he's won. It's where his bread is buttered. And it's going to determine how he governs. I have been a supporter since day one of his campaign, and I've followed his strategy very closely. He essentially believes that the things that need fixing - health care, the other entitlement programs, our broken foreign policy strategy, the need for alternative energy, and, yes, climate change (McCain agrees, despite a cold year or two) - are fairly obvious to enough people of both parties, and that the current red-blue trench warfare partisan stalemate is the essential thing holding up solutions. So he believes that by building a coalition - getting people like Colin Powell on board - he can break up the stalemate and hit the political jackpot.So this idea that he's going to be some radical is just ridiculous, since his entire strategy (and really his political existence) hinges on getting disparate groups to agree with one another.
"I have never seen so many idiots and racists than within the democrat party. To think that 95% of Blacks in America can not see beyond the color black is more racist and is the reason why Obama will further polarize our nation after his policies fail to even help his own constituents."_____________Does the term "Southern Strategy" mean anything to you? There's racial polarization along partisan lines for a reason, and that's because Nixon and Reagan and subsequent Republicans found it a winning strategy, and used it consistently and often effectively.90% of African-Americans voted for Kerry, so I guess that extra 5% really does indicate that they only care about skin color. Yes, a sad situation indeed.I'd contend that your party (assuming you vote Republican) has done a miserable job attracting black votes! You've shot yourself in the foot, historically. McCain realized it, to his credit. Too bad for his party he couldn't continue to tour areas like New Orleans and Mississippi. Too bad for them a potential black republican voter couldn't have seen more diversity at the Republican Convention - they might have been more able to envision themselves as wanted by the party.I'd also contend that, at least since the late 90s, a good chunk of the black vote has been yours to lose. For all that republicans like to talk about welfare queens like it's still 1986, you will find no other group in America more interested in successful business ownership, entrepreneurship, being tough on crime, self-improvement, and self-sufficiency than African-Americans. You will find few other groups in America with as strong a bond between church and community. Along with the black evangelicals and "prosperity gospel" believers, even in the uber-"scary" Rev. Wright's church, when you look at what the supposed "hate group" actually does, it's all about helping kids do well in school, and helping community development (which, if you need a translation, means starting businesses). There's your best example of faith-based initiative. But no, they're all a bunch of terrorists, you don't want their vote.You guys should have been jumping all over this. In truth, it would be healthier for the black community if both parties competed for their votes. But instead you guys are coming with this weak "reverse racism" stuff. Shooting yourself in the foot for this go-round too. As your man used to say, "There you go again..."
Sirf,My problem with that scenario is that Iraq will blow up in the next year and force our military into a firestorm (unless we don't mind gas rationing on a scale with mad max). And frankly, I'm not too enthusiastic about having my daughter have to register with selective service. I did 23 years of time and it was rough...I wouldn't want to see my own daughter have to go through anything like that against her will.da schmuck
Crozet,If Obama doesn't increase my taxes and he manages to corral corporations from outsourcing...I'll accept the increased cost of goods due to production by American workers and will welcome his methods...but there's far too much at stake for the "merchants of poverty" for any of that above pipe dream to come to fruition. Even record cold temperatures don't seem to faze the global warmers and their greedy fundraising snowball. What in the world will come of jackson and sharpton?! da schmuck

No Enya album for Christmas
Illustration: tears of disappointed Enya fans
Many of us were hoping to get a new release from Enya this year but at the moment there is no official information about her next album. Two years ago, the Enya team confirmed they were working with a choir and an orchestra at the Abbey Road studios. Since then there has been no communication.
The long silence led to speculations about Enya having dicarded the 'Abbey Road' material to rerecord it alone. She is a known perfectionist to say the least, so I can see where this is coming from. However, I hope it's just fans' imagination running wild. Another speculation suggested that the delay might have been caused by Enya preparing a live event to accompany the album. Taking the music to stage has been mentioned in one form or another since the very beginning of her career and never realised so far. Now, this sounds nicer straight away!
We have no way of knowing what's causing the unusually long wait (even for Enya!) until the album comes out and she says more about it. So keep calm and listen to something else.*
*It has been suggested that 'If I Could Be Where You Are' has some appropriate lines for times like these. Or maybe even 'Amarantine.' Thinking about it, Enya has a surprising number of songs talking about people crying.

Think You Know Your Warehouse or Distribution Center? Think Again
By: Graham, David | October 16, 2014
The vast majority of warehouse or distribution center managers have nowhere near the level of detail about the business that's needed for a lean transformation, according to David Graham, who for 20-plus years has been crawling through inadequate and bogus operational performance reports as part of his job helping warehouses and distribution centers become lean. A big reason for the scarcity of detailed data, Graham explains, is that in traditionally managed operations, deep knowledge of the business isn't needed to manage or solve problems. When glitches arise, the first action often is to add waste to the process -- More »

Firstly, its good to be amongst you all, I have read alot of really useful information on this forum! Thanks for allowing me to join in! I am making elderberry wine at the moment, its been in the large 'bin'for 2weeks and I was thinking of decanting into demijohns. ...I have no hydrometer but have tasted the mix, its still very sweet.should I hold out and get a hydrometer or go ahead and decant? Also should I add more yeast at this point? (Newby questions, I know but hey, im new! ) thanks for any advice, im enjoying the whole process and look forward to carrying on with it! Adam.
Welcome to the community. Wine can benefit well from patience. So wait for the hydrometer. Once the wine is at 1.01 gravity it is fine to decant at that point. There is no need to re-pitch yeast unless there is a stalled ferment and that is best told with a hydrometer.
A painting says a thousand words. But a painting while on good mead just looks funny!

NEW YORK (Learnvest) Scott Kraft, a 40-year-old marathon enthusiast, spent more than a decade covering health care policy in the Washington, D.C., area as a reporter before transplanting to Portland, Ore., a few months ago with his longtime boyfriend.
But while he knows the insides and outsides of the Affordable Care Act, and appreciates that he can get access to the same insurance as his friends without asthma (a pre-existing condition), he is having a hard time making the commitment to enroll in a plan through his state's health care exchange website (a handful of states launched their own health care exchange websites when HealthCare.gov launched, as part of the ACA).
The problem: He doesn't know what kind of access to doctors and primary care he'll have whether he enrolls in a premium "platinum" plan, a "gold-level" plan, a "silver-level" plan, or a basic "bronze-level" plan.
"The X Factor has been network availability," says Kraft, who is unable to get insurance through his domestic partner's employer because the two are not married. "I'm fairly new to Oregon, so I don't have a network of doctors. I don't have to worry about, 'Will I lose my provider?' But for all the information I can get on the site, I am struggling to find out, 'What if I can't find a plan ... with a good doctor with an open panel?'"
Still, many of those who have or plan to soon enroll may be in for a shock when they realize that finding a great doctor and getting the care and services they need may not be as easy as picking a plan on a websiteor as "affordable."

We continue this week to dig into the findings of our poll of African-American communities and how black Americans rate many aspects of their lives. We conducted the poll with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health.
While the gap between the well-off and poor in the U.S. has stretched wide in recent years, we found that black Americans describe their financial divide as a nearly 50-50 split, and it affects how they view their world. NPR's Cheryl Corley reports.
"Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said on Saturday the United States had asked him not to grant asylum for former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden in a 'cordial' telephone conversation he held with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden," Reuters writes.
Henry D'Arthenay grew up in Caracas, Venezuela — a country currently rife with political conflict. As lead singer of the Venezuelan alt-rock band La Vida Bohème, D'Arthenay used that chaos for fuel in constructing the band's latest album, Será, which was released in April.
Alfred Hitchcock's early silent films have resurfaced in what's being called the single biggest restoration project in the history of the British Film Institute, and now "The Hitchcock 9" are touring the U.S. this summer.
Hitchcock is best known for his Hollywood suspense films of the post-war era, like Psycho and Vertigo. But the director was born in England and began his directing career there during the silent era. In fact, he loved both seeing and making silent films.
There were pileups on the race course and a bus got stuck at the finish line as the Tour de France began Saturday with "chaos and crashes," as The Guardian puts it.
When Stage 1 was over on Corsica, The Associated Press writes, "German rider Marcel Kittel was first to arrive, after dodging all sorts of mayhem."

This was originally going to be a completely different essay, but I've realized it's past time to tighten up my definitions some, so I'm not continuing having to stop and figure out/explain pieces of my foundation just so I can say something coherent. This really should have been the first post in the 'game genre' series. Well, second would have been acceptable.
So, now to talk about what's been the elephant in the room, the 4X genre. Borrowing from Wikipedia:
The term "4X" originates from a 1993 preview
Crossposted from my blog at Rindis.com.
Medieval-style fantasy has long had a strong hold on the imagination. It didn't take long for fantasy to become a popular genre in computer games either. As various board wargame-derivative designs evolved during the '80s, a fairly distinct genre that I call 'fantasy conquest' emerged.
These are related to the more general '4X' games, but don't always hew to all parts of that style, probably because the distinctive space 4X game emerged in parallel. (There's also some internal bias, as I generally only think of 'space 4X' games
Updated 17 Oct 14 at 19:30 by Rindis
Crossposted from my blog at Rindis.com.
An approximate pattern for 4X games in general is to start out with a single base/settlement, move out, find valuable terrain and claim it with further bases, solidify borders to keep others away from the valuable bits you've found, and then go take their stuff.
Thus, these games generally start out as ones of colonization. Whether it's sending ships out into the galaxy, or settling the barbarian-infested wilderness, it's much the same. Colonizing the New World is a natural fit for the common strategy game desire of building

I am just starting here with mocking about, and I am trying something which I think should be quite simple.
I have a class that reads Google calendar data. First, it creates a
CalendarService object, then it calls
Query on that object, receives a
EventFeed and iterates on the Item collection of
I want it all to be mocked, as I don't want my tests to send any web requests around.
I tried mocking it all with
var service = MockManager.Mock<CalendarService>();
var events = MockManager.MockAll<EventFeed>();
var entries = MockManager.MockAll<AtomEntryCollection>();
service.ExpectAndReturn("Query", events.MockedInstance);
events.ExpectGet("Entries", entries.MockedInstance);
entries.ExpectGetAlways("Count", 3);
but my test fails as soon as the object returned from the
service.Query() method is used. I understand that in the 5th line the
entries.MockedInstance was still null, so the
ExpectAndReturn recorded the null as the return value - so what am I supposed to do? How can I set the mocks to return valid mock objects, instead of nulls?
Note - I am writing a .NET 2.0 project, so I can't use the Isolator features (I think). Would that have helped me? Or maybe switching to Rhino or MOQ would make it all easier?

"This is a very easy sauce to make and much tastier and more economical than the purchased bottled variety. The vegetable stock can be substituted for pineapple juice or just plain old water. I use the juice when I am making a stir fry that I will throw some pineapple pieces into. You can vary the ingredients to your taste. To make this sauce gluten free, ensure that you use a GF stock, soy sauce and maize cornflour. White Wings cornflour and Fountain soy sauce are currently gluten free in Australia. The sauce will keep easily for a week in the refrigerator"
Serving Size: 1 (54 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"I'm another one who made this as a dipping sauce! Used the pineapple juice, too, & it made for a great for both some chicken tenders AND some baked potato wedges! A great keeper, for sure! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend]"
"Used this as a dipping sauce for some chicken tenders..Made recipe as written with no adjustments, and would not adjust in the future. Everyone here enjoyed this very much. Made for I recommend tag.."
"This made a great sauce for meatballs at my bunko night. Everyone loved it. Super easy and delicious. Made for Best of 2011."
"Simple great sauce that was wonderful with some battered prawns. I used it as a dipping sauce and was a little heavy-handed on extra cornflour, I used a full tablespoon whereas probably should have gone with about 3/4. Didn't affect the taste though and was very much enojoyed!"
"I rather liked this sauce. It was really easy to make and it wasn't nearly as sweet as I thought it would have been which is a good thing for me. I think it was the stock (vegetable in my case) that gave it a bit more of a richness than just a sickly sweet taste that you can sometimes get with sweet and sour. I used left over chicken from a store bought roasted chicken and some veggies together with the sauce to make a very quick and nice sweet and sour chicken dish. Made for ZWT4."
"This sauce is good but I think I may like it more with less soy sauce and maybe use ketchup instead of tomato sauce. I found it not enough sweet. Thanks Jubes :) Made for I Recommend tag game"
"Used this as a dipping sauce for recipe#261401 and it was perfect! No more buying the bottled stuff, this is much better and not as sweet."
"Great easy sauce to make that appeals to younger diners, without being the nasty gloopy orange stuff you find in many take-aways or jarred sauces. Made enough for 2 meals, which is great, tonight was used in Recipe #59327. The other thing that's nice about this version is that you didn't have to use pineapple juice, which I rarely have on hand. I'm sure it would taste great with pineapple though so will have to plan for that one day. Thanks Jubes!"
"This was a really good, quick, and simple sauce that was just what I was looking for to go with Recipe #325074. Made for ZWT6. Thanks!"

The UAE's not happy
The nation has expressed 'reservation' on the choice of Riyadh for the location of the GCC's central bank.
May 6, 2009 11:22 by Parinaaz Navdar
Members of the GCC have chosen Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the location of the soon-to-be-established Gulf Central Bank on Tuesday. Leaders from GCC countries met in Riyadh to decide on a location for the regional central bank.
The UAE, however, "expresses its reservation" on the decision. Nasser Saidi, the chief economist at the Dubai International Financial Centre, suggested that the ego-led political debate on the location of the central bank could be solved by spreading the monetary council's departments across different states.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman agreed in 2001 to form a EU-style monetary union by 2010 to boost regional trade. Council members, however, disagreed on the location of the central bank, leading to possible delays in the creation of a single currency.
In March 2009, the council met to decide on a location for the bank, but failed to agree, forcing member states announce they will work on a revised timetable to issue the new unified currency, the first official admission that the Gulf will fail to meet its 2010 deadline.
If the council had faltered on a decision at the meeting in Riyadh, the credibility of the project could have suffered a serious hit. The council has already faced significant hurdles in its plan to form the union: Oman's controversial decision to opt out of the union in 2006, and Kuwait's move to depeg its currency from the US Dollar in 2007, have caused delays in the introduction of a monetary union.
Saudi Arabia's political clout in the region made it seem like the clear winner. It is the world's largest oil producer and the region's biggest and richest economy. More importantly, the Kingdom already hosts the GCC Secretariat.
However, the country has strict travel restrictions on foreigners, which may prohibit some industry experts from doing business with the monetary union.
Making a decision on the location is a significant step forward for the union. This means that a monetary council, the predecessor for the central bank, can begin operating this year.
The next task for the council is deciding on a name for the currency, which could become another political issue with each member state hoping to keep the name of its currency.

HIGHLANDS – I vaguely remember Pedro Almodovar's 1988 film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown as a quirky, funny Spanish movie.

The show is fun, zany at times, well-stocked with unexpected twists, and creatively produced, making for a enjoyable evening of live theater. Read the story »

ATHENS, Ga. -- When Georgia started the second half with a missed dunk, a botched layup and three turnovers, the home crowd began to grumble.
Here we go again, they surely thought.
But the Bulldogs snapped out of it, finally showing they can put a team away. Trey Thompkins scored 20 points, Travis Leslie added 15 and Georgia cruised to a win it had to have, blowing out South Carolina, 64-48, Saturday night.
South Carolina had a miserable shooting night, going 1 of 19 from 3-point range and finishing 17 of 60 (28 percent) overall. The Gamecocks didn't play much defense, either, giving up several highlight-show dunks and allowing Georgia to shoot 50 percent most of the game.
Malik Cooke led South Carolina with 11 points.
"This is a team that's lost a lot of leads," Gamecocks coach Darrin Horn said of Georgia. "We were actually much better in the second half, but it was just too much to overcome."
Ramon Galloway added 10 points for USC, but shot just 3 of 14 from the field. Sam Muldrow had 10 points and seven rebounds.
Coming off a loss at Florida, the Bulldogs (19-9, 8-6 Southeastern Conference) knew a defeat to last-place South Carolina (14-13, 5-9) would be a huge blow to their on-the-bubble NCAA chances.
They led 39-22 at the half, but there was still another 20 minutes to go. And so many times -- including the first meeting against the Gamecocks -- that's where Georgia has run into trouble.
Not this time. After that sluggish start to the second half, Jeremy Price seemed to snap the Bulldogs out of it with a dunk, and they led by as many as 24 before slowing things down and clearing the bench.
"We were kind of like, 'Uh oh,' " said Price, who added 14 points. "But then we picked it up as a team. This is a big step for us."
For one half, at least, this was a virtual replay of the first meeting in Columbia. Georgia led 28-9 at the half in that one.
South Carolina stormed back after the break, and the Bulldogs needed Thompkins' block in the final seconds to preserve a 60-56 win. Coach Mark Fox reminded his players of that game at the break.
The Bulldogs raced to a double-digit lead before the game was 10 minutes old, making it 17-6 on Price's dunk. But just a few seconds later, Price got an earful from Fox for a hot-dogging play.
The senior forward had a clear path to the basket, but decided to flip a lob pass to Leslie, who was flying in off the wing. Leslie was fouled on the attempted dunk and Fox stormed off the bench, yelling at Price.
The coach signaled for Chris Barnes to go in and waited for Price to trot over sheepishly between the two free throws. Fox pulled his player close for a lecture, but the two patted each other on the backside before Price headed to take a seat. A few minutes later, he came back in the game.
"He almost gave me a heart attack. Then," Fox quipped, "he almost died."
The Bulldogs were rolling by the end of the first half. Leslie got another chance to wow the crowd when he blew by the Gamecocks' phantom defense, rocking the rim with a thunderous right-handed dunk. Two possessions later, Gerald Robinson took off on nearly the same move from the opposite side, jamming it in, too.
South Carolina guard Eric Smith, sitting on the bench, got up to implore someone -- anyone -- to put a stop to Georgia's dunkfest.
Georgia has struggled to close out games, and it looked like that would be the case again when they missed a layup, a dunk and turned it over three times to start the second half.
But South Carolina couldn't take advantage, only cutting it to 39-27 while the Bulldogs struggled. Georgia finally scored when Price dunked off a pass from Leslie with 16:30 remaining, and the rout was back on.

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former Marine gunnery sergeant whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, leads this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, an ex-homicide detective whose instincts in the field are unparalleled and whose quick wit and humorous take on life make him a team favorite; NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field; and the newest member of the team, Probationary Agent Eleanor "Ellie" Bishop, a mysterious mixture of analytic brilliance, fierce determination and idealism who specializes in international threat assessment and global preparation. Assisting the team is the youthful and energetic forensic specialist Abby Sciuto, a talented scientist whose sharp mind matches her unconventional style and eclectic tastes, medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, who knows it all because he's seen it all - and he's not afraid to let you know it - and Ducky's protégé, Assistant Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer. Overseeing the operations is NCIS Director Leon Vance, an intelligent, highly trained agent who can always be counted on to shake up the status quo. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.
