The rest of the cakes at cake club were very colourful, everyone had done a really good job of interpreting the theme. Katy made a purple ombre cake which was absolutely stunning, the cake was almond with a passionfruit filling and was very delicious. A green mint chocolate 'After Eight' cake from Fi and Clara was refreshing with a good minty flavour in the sponge and the icing. There were two velvet cakes, a black velvet from Lisa who blogs at United Cakedom (she has more photos of all these cakes too) and also a red velvet cake from Clare, difficult to choose which was the best! Louise our organiser picked brown as her colour and instead of making a chocolate cake she baked a brown butter cake with frangelico frosting. Very different and very nice, something I will have to try one day. There was also a chocolate orange cake from Siobhan which looked lovely but sadly I don't like chocolate orange as a flavour combination so I can't tell you what it tasted like, everyone else seemed to enjoy it though. Finally for pink there was a raspberry Neapolitan cake made by Becki which was huge, sadly I didn't get to try a piece as I was too full by the time I'd tried all of the others. I did take a piece home but when I went to went to taste it the next day, my boyfriend had pretty much scoffed the lot, so the verdict from him was delicious.
Bottom right is the Neapolitan that I didn't get to try and the rest of my cakey haul :) |
Ingredients - adapted from 'Sweet Treats & Puds' by Mary Berry
For the sponge:
4 large eggs
100g caster sugar
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
100g self raising flour
4 tbsp good quality lemon curd
100g unsalted butter
200g icing sugar
juice of 1 lemon
yellow food colouring - I used Sugar Flair paste in bitter lemon
yellow sprinkles - optional
- Preheat the oven to 220C and line a 33 x 23cm Swiss roll tin with non-stick greaseproof paper.
- Use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat together the eggs, sugar and lemon zest in large bowl until pale and frothy. This will take around 5 minutes and the mixture should leave a slight trail when the beaters are lifted.
- Sift the flour into the bowl and gently fold it in making sure it is all incorporated. Pour the mixture onto the prepared tray and spread into the corners making sure it is level. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- When the cake is ready remove it from the oven and allow to cool for a minute before inverting the cake onto a clean piece of greaseproof paper, trimming the ends and making a score mark about 1 inch in from one of the short ends, next carefully roll it up in the paper, this makes it easier to roll and fill later. Leave the cake to cool then gently unroll it and spread over the lemon curd evenly before rolling up again and placing on a serving plate.
- Make the buttercream by beating the butter until soft and fluffy, gradually beat in the icing sugar and the lemon juice until you have a smooth icing. Add a little food colouring to give a lemony yellow colour and mix well. Spread the buttercream over the cake using a palette knife and finish with sprinkles if using.

According to the company, manufacturers of household and industrial appliances, electronics, HVAC, and other products can enhance branding while lowering total applied label costs with its Accu-Place In-Mold Labeling (APIML) technology. The process enables manufacturers to incorporate preprinted labels into the production process for brand nameplates or other messaging areas without mold modification. The technology can be used with polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, nylon, and ABS parts. An in-mold label placed inside the mold is held in position as the part is being produced. The label bonds with the molten plastic, rendering a finished part with an embedded label. Avery Dennison

I recently bought painted daisies for my father for Fathers Day and was looking for more detailed information on caring for them. I scoured the Miami Valley area and found seven plants in terrible shape,but purchased them anyway. I was hoping to give them a boost before I see him next week. I was also wondering if they bloom more than once. Any help would be great. |

Painted daisies will bloom in late spring or early summer... if you cut them back (dead head) they should rebloom in late summer. from personal experience i have found that they are really short lived perennials and need to be divided every 2-3 yrs to keep them re-juvenated and prevent them from dying off. sue |

the world and address criteria that meet a certain threshold of severity. In fact, because there is a perceived similarity between some of the symptoms of pathological gambling and affective disorders, the DSM-III-R states that, during a manic or hypomanic episode, loss of judgment and excessive gambling may follow the onset of the mood disturbance. When manic-like mood changes occur in pathological gamblers, they are generally related to winning streaks, and they are usually followed by depressive episodes because of subsequent losses. Periods of depression tend to increase as the disorder progresses. Although somewhat reasonable, the current understanding of this progression is informed only by anecdotal information and case histories of patients who have entered treatment.
In one of the first studies to distinguish whether a depression or a gambling disorder came first (i.e., whether pathological gambling was a primary or secondary disorder), McCormick et al. (1984) found that 76 percent of gamblers in treatment met the criteria for a major affective disorder. They also found that gambling preceded depression 86 percent of the time, and even the onset of pathological gambling preceded depression. In another study of gamblers both in and out of treatment, the investigators found, using a structured diagnostic interview, that gamblers in treatment, compared with untreated controls, were about three times more likely to meet criteria for major depression (Specker et al., 1996).
Perhaps the only general population study that has examined the relationship between problem gambling and depression was the ECA study described above. Unfortunately, of the five sites that were involved in the ECA study, only in St. Louis did investigators ask questions to assess pathological gambling. The study found that problem gamblers were at least three times as likely to meet criteria for depression, schizophrenia, alcoholism, and antisocial personality disorder than nongamblers (Cunningham-Williams et al., 1998; Cunningham-Williams, 1998). Because the diagnostic instrument used ascertains the age of onset of psychiatric symptoms, the investigators were able to determine that the depression preceded the gambling problems, unlike the Specker et al. study.
Studies have shown no association between problem gam-

See the Cast of 'Postal' Then and Now
There once was a time when the name Uwe Boll was synonymous with video game movies. It was not a good time. However, in spite of the lack of success of these adaptations, Boll managed to fund several different film franchises based on relatively popular video game series. While some of the films made sense to bring to the big screen, no one was asking for the Postal movie to get made. Still, that didn't stop Boll from doing his best to make it one of the worst movies ever made. Let's take a look at the cast of 'Postal' to see where they were then, and if they've managed to still have a career now.
Zack Ward, Dude
Then: Ward was unfortunate enough to land the lead role in 'Postal' of the "heroic" Dude. In true non-sensical fashion, he must take on everyone in the world, to steal a shipment of Krotchy Dolls so he and his uncle can sell them at a huge profit online. Of course, Al-Qaeda is also after the shipment because of course they are, so many shootouts ensue.
Now: You might remember him best as Scut Farkus, the bully from 'A Christmas Story,' but Ward's built up a pretty steady and solid (present film excluded) resume. Ward's had various roles on many television shows, including 'Dollhouse,' 'Hawaii Five-O,' and 'Warehouse 13.'
Dave Foley, Uncle Dave
Then: Clearly working on 'Postal' because Uwe Boll had footage of him doing some unspeakable things to animals he really wanted to, Dave Foley played Uncle Dave, the leader of a fake cult whose membership consisted mostly of attractive women.
Now: After 'Kids in the Hall' and 'News Radio,' Foley's kept busy on more series like 'Hot in Cleveland' and 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.'
JK Simmons, Candidate Wells
Then: JK Simmons was a conspiracy-spouting nut running for office. Funny enough, most of the nutball statements he made actually made more sense and seemed more possible than the plot of this movie.
Now: Simmons was able to shed the stink of 'Postal' off by appearing in 'Juno' and 'Rendition' in the same year. In addition to playing the hell out of J. Jonah Jameson in the Raimi 'Spider-Man' films, Simmons also lends his voice to animated shows like 'The Legend of Korra.'
Jackie Tohn, Faith
Then: Thon played a foul-mouthed, cranky barista who falls for the Dude, and aids him in taking on all comers in the final showdown.
Now: She's had a few bit roles on shows like 'Veronica Mars' and 'Rules of Engagement,' but Thon hasn't exactly been lighting up marquees since appearing in 'Postal.' Some people are just destined to have Uwe Boll ruin their lives, I suppose.
Chris Coppola, Richard
Then: Coppola (no relation) played Uncle Dave's close confidant, and helped orchestrate the entire heist at the center of the film.
Now: Coppola's career hasn't exactly been burgeoning, but he's managed to secure roles in 'Santa Paws 2,' 'Super Buddies' and 'Rizzoli and Isles.'
Verne Troyer, Himself
Then: Verne Troyer made his dramatic entrance after he was found inside an aluminum briefcase. Then he was used to help infiltrate Al-Qaeda. This movie is really bad, by the way.
Now: It's been a long time since Troyer's peak during the Austin Powers heyday, but he's still managed to find regular work either in roles where he plays himself, but outside of one episode of 'Two and a Half Men,' Troyer hasn't had much work as of late.
Larry Thomas, Osama Bin Laden
Then: Osama wanted to infect the Krotchy Dolls with bird flu to make all the children of the U.S. ill. This was how he planned to outdo 9/11. Remember kids, Uwe Boll wrote this hot mess of a film, and it was funded. Dreams do come true.
Now: It's very hard to not make a Soup Nazi joke here, but we're going to take the high road. Thomas has been working non-stop since this insanely insipid film debuted, and was most recently in 'Zero Dark Thirty' as Hamid Bin Al-Sheib.
Erick Avari, Habib
Then: Avari played Habib, the convenience store owner who was hosting some Al-Qaeda forces in the back of the business.
Now: You've probably seen him in more films than you can remember, as Avari has the distinct ability to play just about any Middle Eastern ethnicity when the role calls for it. You might recall him from 'The Mummy' and 'Stargate.'
Brent Mendenhall, George W. Bush
Then: Mendenhall played ol' G.W. with the gusto and aplomb one would expect from a movie where the former President is best buddies with Bin Laden, and they frolic in the sun while nuclear missiles destroy the country.
Now: The problem with being a celebrity impersonator is when that celebrity falls out of fashion, the work dries up. Mendenhall racked up a healthy library of roles as President Bush, but hasn't been up to much since appearing in 'Recount.'
Uwe Boll, Himself
Then: Uwe appeared as himself, and "joked" about using Nazi gold to fund his movies. He argues with the creator of Postal before being shot in the balls.
Now: Uwe Boll ruined video game franchise after franchise with his horrible adaptations. He actually just finished work on 'In the Name of the King 3,' the third in his series of Dungeon Siege films. Maybe there's some truth to that Nazi gold thing.

Have you always wondered why Brad Pitt and George Clooney are consistently thought of as the biggest studs in Hollywood? New research from the University of Michigan relating to aggression, status, and sex might help explain. When social status or sex are on a man's mind, it causes them to act aggressively so as to maintain his cred, according to assistant professor Vladas Griskevicius. But these too attack triggers are linked: "Across different cultures and time, the higher status men have, the more sex or better-quality partners they may have," Griskevicius said. Keep reading »

Ever since I was young I have always had big dreams about what I have wanted to do when I grow up. Though those dreams have changed over the years, the goal has always been the same. To do big things and make a positive difference in other people's lives while doing something I am passionate about. There are several positions I would love to do when I am older including working as an anchor or reporter at ESPN but lately I would like to create something of my own either in the music/entertainment or sports industries. I have started projects and enjoy overseeing them until they are complete and enjoy the relationships I gain out of them as well as the satisfaction of bringing something new to the table and watching people enjoy this new product or service.
The communication is changing everyday through social media such as facebook and twitter offering multitudes of opportunities to up and comers in every industry. There are new social media sites popping up such as thetapmusic.com and spotify. It is important for new business to utilize theses new medias and gain followers. It is important to understand all of these and network. Networking is key, it is the people around you who will make you successful and bring out your full potential.
At Ithaca College, I am able to take advantage of the variety of opportunities offered at the college. I am currently doing sports updates for VIC radio along with public relations. I am representing a band (Erik Caron Connection) , working on two ICTV shows in different capacities (promotions and studio camera) , and have a sports beat for the Ithacan (Men's Swimming and Diving) . I hope to be able to combine my passions and find or create a job that will make me happy.
I plan to take classes in production and creative writing to round out my education and be a complete communications professional. It would also be wise for me to learn about different kinds of people and sections of the country as well as the world so I can effectively market to those people and areas. I believe that I also have to research other areas of marketing such as in hotels or traveling so I have a broad knowledge of marketing and can find something I like.
I look forward to learn of all the opportunities offered to me in and out of college while pursuing jobs and internships that can lead me to my dream job.

on May 10, 2013Now it seems that ABC is determined to revive its role from the days of Whitewater in connection to Benghazi, Benghazi!, BENGHAZI! We discussed the other day how one ABC producer became a main conduit for the puke funnel that led from Arkansas con-men to the Whitewater special prosecutor to ABC to the American public. Now, it seems, we must all be shocked SHOCKED! that The Talking Points may have gone through several iterations before they went out on The Sunday Showz where everybody is under oath and subject to the pains and penalties of perjury, especially Dick Cheney when he talked about Mohammad Atta's frolicking around Prague.
Media Matters puts paid to most of this latest fauxtrage, mainly by demonstrating that there is absolutely nothing new in ABC's "exclusive." But it is becoming increasingly clear to me now that B, B!, B! is further along towards being an actual infotainment miniseries than I thought it was. May sweeps are coming, and then the news doldrums of high summer, and that's when the Whitewater hearings began to multiply back in the day. I honestly believed this particular nothingburger was fed to the hounds last fall. But with Jodi Arias just about finished, and the Tsarnaevs bumped off the radar by the Cleveland case, which will die in a month until when and if there's a trial, I can see a very long few months of "exclusive" parsing of who said what to whom and when, and when will we get all the facts, and Rule Of Law, and all of it over the preposterous notion that anyone takes The Sunday Showz seriously except John McCain. It will not all be on the Fox News Channel, either. The puke funnel has many outlets.

Dungeon Finder tricks and tips {WoW}
Dec 15th 2009 7:25AM Need/Greed issue...
Had a brainspark of an approval mechanism?
If any Need roll is made, all other players have to approve the winning roll? Should only take a couple seconds, similar to a ready-check. If failed, a re-roll is initiated.
I could see a problem with an arrogant or selfish ninja rolling need over and over again.. this would allow the group to vote-kick the player. While it might hamper the pace or progress of the group, it would put a checks/balance system in place to deter the ninja and would likely provide a better environment for the remaining 4 anyhow.
I'm sure this idea will be blown over this low in the thread, but hey.. it is what it is... an idea at 6am while on meds. :)
Time is Money: Addons to beat the Vendors {WoW}
Mar 6th 2009 1:26PM Selling things 1 item at a time isn't a bad thing in many cases. It's just determined by what items are being sold. Dust? sure sell it in stacks of 5/10/15/20, but sometimes crafters need things in stacks of 2, or 4 for commonly crafted items. Knowing when to adjust and when not to can prove quite profitable.
My biggest beef with Auctioneer is when the power and simplicity completely dominates and destroys common sense.
Example: I'm a scribe and am always pushing glyphs on the AH. When I see high end glyphs moving at 20/30 silver and sometimes even less... it kinda turns my stomach. The herbs/pigments/inks are worth WAY more than the glyphs themselves. The end result is a handful of rookie scribes selling everything they have and undercutting each other. This renders the possibility of profit impossible and keeps prices below manufacturing cost for a long time, if not permanently. I'm savvy enough to adapt and move different products, but I find myself often buying glyphs from the AH when I'm a scribe myself... just because I can buy them cheaper than I can make them. I'll use my inks on other stuff.
To sum up my point. Auctioneer and similar addons are very powerful, but when put in the hands of the simple minded... it can be disruptive. If you get the tools, learn the tools.

and Stupid
This is all you have? Have you not read how unhappy people are about the random factors that are influencing their goals in game?
This isn't a matter of "Oh, I don't like this one" and Blizzard decided to appease it. It's a matter of a HUGE number of people that didn't get needed results from a random generator.
I could write a huge post explaining, but I don't think it would phase you're ignorant opinion.
Are disenchanters getting robbed by rolls? {WoW}
Feb 21st 2009 4:18PM @oldwisemonk
nah.. not that simple at all. Present to any miner a "tip" for the mined ore and you'll get laughed out of the group.. same with herbs and skinners. The effort and mechanics in collecting these materials and end value are so diverse, it's dependent on people to treat them independently unique.
If a shard cost, say 50g for the sake of argument, then that miner would need at least 2.5 STACKS if the ore is moved at 1g each on the AH. So the 5 Cobalt Ore a Miner just got is a rather insignificant (1/10th in this simple presentation) comparison to most shards/dust. Not to mention, as far as treating them as mat's alone... Where 1-6 shards might be needed for certain chants, much more ore is needed for JC's to get their gems... BS to make their items.. and whatnot. Shards/Ore/Herbs/Skins are similar, but entirely different.
I usually pass the shards right on to my friends. Even if rolls were made, I'll sit on the shards and when it's needed, I'll hand em over. If I don't have shards at the end of a run, I could care less.
@everyone else
The PROBLEM is the general mentality of folks feeling they're entitled to be taken care of. If you're that hung up on Shards/Ore/Herbs/Skins.. then you're probably even moreso hung up on gear drop issues or rare pet/mount drop issues.
If you want a seemingly endless supply of shards/dust. Play nice, share, and get over yourselves. When you do this, people will start to run with you on a consistent basis. They'll likely have no issues with you stocking up on shards/dust because it will come back to them in the end.
I hate the "OMG they got something easier than me!" mentality. It's an MMORPG (Implies playing WITH others), not an AFMAEEITTGMWIWRPG (All For Me And Everyone Else Is There To Get Me What I Want Role Playing Game.) Get over yourselves.

Feb 18th 2009 4:56PM Thottbot? I stopped using that regularly during the "Hunter Item" phase.
Thottbot is nice, but I tend to find more information faster with better results with WoWhead. It's more commonly linked to sites like MaxDPS and other theorycrafting sites/tools. With the filter/search features and with integration addons like lightheaded, wowhead becomes even moreso the "go-to" site.
Is one better than the other? Meh.. user preference. But I'd be willing to bet these are some key reasons thottbot has sort of slid by the wayside.

Feb 16th 2009 1:00PM same... 1 candy left. /facepalm
and not due to lack of effort. Last night i damn near passed out at my keyboard tryin' to stay awake for .. one.. more.. hour.
Was upset... and still am. I don't know what bothers me more... the disappointment for putting this much effort to only be thwarted by randomness, or the fact that I took it even remotely seriously. :(
I enjoy the seasonal events because they bring a lot of folks out to interact with each other. It's fun. Unfortunately, when random factors end up killing the grand year long achievement, it takes the wind out of my sails for doing anything for the rest of the year. /shrug

The Ten Commandments for DPS {WoW}
Feb 11th 2009 6:21PM @Delano
I agree... Sites like MaxDPS are good tools to help, their ranking should often be taken with a grain of salt. You think that one is bad, you should check out wowheroes. It's got a lot of fun and useful information, but if you take it as scripture, you're doomed to be face down, eating dirt.
I do use MaxDPS a lot as a good start point... mainly because they did a gread job with presentation and made it easy. Their stat rating really isn't too bad.
Another site, lootrank, has a fully customizable tool to where you can use your own multipliers to make your own scoring scheme. Great site, good presentation, but often too complex for the average joe. I'm continualy updating my numbers because I can't come up with results I want.
I like wow-loot to see what items per boss are ideal for different classes I'm less familiar with, but with recent itemization... it's almost not needed anymore.
Y'all know of any other gear sites that have trusted stat prioritized rankings? I'd love to see what else was out there.
But more on topic, it's my opinion, having been Tank, Heals AND DPS... DPS is the easiest. It's a matter of just keeping your nose clean and not getting in the way of the healers and tanks. Assuming they do their job right... things should seem effortless to the dps. As stated, avoid damage as best you can... don't blow up the healers... whatever. Noone but you care if your dps dips, as long as it's present, steady and enough to kill the target.
Tanks = The machine. Moving parts and heavy equipment are useless in and of themselves.
Healers = Fuel/lubrication/protectants within the machine. Running out of Fuel or not having oil will disable the machine and render it useless.
DPS = The engines of the machine. 500hp or 266hp? Don't matter.. get enough umph to get where you're going and make sure you last long enough to get there.
When the parts don't work together, they're useless. When they DO work together, it's almost effortless.

Car Seat Safety
Child safety seats reduce fatal injuries by 71 percent among infants and 54 percent among toddlers, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
But unfortunately an average of seven children ages 0 to 14 are still killed each day in motor vehicle crashes and another 872 are injured. And of the 550 children under 5 who were killed in 1999 (the most recent year statistics are available), more than half (291) were totally unrestrained.
Consider these tips for keeping your children safe while riding in the car:
- Rear-facing car seats with a five-point restraint system is recommended for all infants and children up to 2 years of age. They should not be converted to forward-facing seats until the child is 2 years old.
- Any child who is 12 years old or younger is safest sitting in the back seat. Every child should be buckled in a child safety seat, booster seat or with a lap/shoulder belt if it fits properly.
- It is estimated that more than half of the child safety seats used today are not installed correctly. Always read the child seat instructions and the car owner's manual. To ensure a snug fit, pull the base to either side or toward the front of the car.
- Adjust the harness to fit snugly. Avoid using blankets or a bulky snowsuit under straps — they make it impossible to get the harness snug enough to secure baby in a crash.
- Babies riding in a car must never face front because a baby's neck can be hurt badly in a crash or during a sudden stop.
- Infants in car seats must never ride in the front seat with an air bag. In a crash, the air bag can hit the car seat and hurt or kill the baby.
- Never hold your baby in your lap when you are riding in a car. In a crash or during a sudden stop, your baby can be seriously injured or killed.
- If a tether strap, which holds the top of the front-facing seat in place, is available, anchor it to a bracket installed behind the seat.
- Call your car seat manufacturer for a tether and your vehicle dealer about installation. Most new cars, starting with 2000 model year vehicles, have tether anchors, as do most 2001 vans, SUVs and pickup trucks. Most 1989-99 vehicles have tether anchor kits available.
- Some are free and some dealers will install them at no charge. They are also easy to install yourself in many vehicles.
- Children weighing more than 40 pounds and under 57 inches tall should ride in a booster seat until the vehicle's lap and shoulder belts fit properly without the booster. The lap belt must fit low and snug on their hips and the shoulder belt must not cross their face or neck.
- Never put the shoulder belt behind their back or under their arm.

I am looking to do a remodel on a couple rooms which will involve pulling down to studs. A few years ago I blew 17 inches of insulation in the attic. What I am wondering is can I leave existing sheetrock on the ceiling, scrape off the popcorn and sheet right over that.
That would be much easier than dealing with all the insulation and then having to blow more back up in the attic. Thanks |

As stated here many times, if your house is older, have a sample of the acoustic(popcorn) ceiling tested for asbestos. After the removal of the acoustic, you might only need to re-mud and touch up the existing drywall. You can go another layer using longer fasteners and you will have to extend electrical and any ducting or other protrusions. You might want to check to see if the ceiling framing will handle the extra weight of another layer of rock. Personally i would just deal with the existing ceiling. |

I see no need to scrape. I had a house in which the (dopehead) occupants packed heavy stuff in the attic supported only by the ceiling drywall. The trusses were 2' on center. The drywall bowed and cracked. Like you, I did not want to pull down all that blown-in insulation. So I used "strapping" (1 x 4 planks) 12" on center on the existing ceiling surface screwed into the trusses with 2 1/2" screws. I used a Tee-Jak to push up the strapping (and old drywall) tight against the truss. The new drywall went on the strapping. That dropped the ceiling 1 1/4" inches, not noticeable. The new drywall is much better supported and stuff in the attic should not damage the new since the strapping will support the accumulated "plunder". |
If you need to cover over the ceiling rent a drywall lift. The manual ones are OK for short use, the compressed gas powered ones are better for long term. |

Brandywine Couple Convicted in Immigration Fraud Scheme
Baltimore, Maryland - Nadia Naeem, age 29, and Mohammad Amin Doudzai, age 45, both of Brandywine, Maryland were convicted today by a federal jury of conspiracy to obstruct, and obstruction of, proceedings before a United States agency, immigration fraud and false statements, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
"Protecting the integrity of the United States immigration system is a key component of our homeland security mission," said James A. Dinkins, Special Agent in Charge for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Baltimore. "This case clearly demonstrates our resolve to investigate those who seek to criminally exploit our immigration system."
According to trial testimony, documents filed with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees indicate that Nadia Naeem, was born in 1978, in Kabul, Afghanistan. Naeem, along with her mother and two siblings, were admitted into the United States as refugees on July 26, 2000. An individual admitted into the United States with refugee status, but who has not yet attained Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status, can apply for refugee benefits for her spouse.
Witnesses testified that in 2001, Naeem filed a petition with the INS seeking to have Nabi Nabil, age 30, also born in Kabul, Afghanistan, enter the country as a refugee, based upon the claim that Naeem and Nabil were married in Pakistan in 2000. The petition was approved and Nabil was admitted into the country as a refugee in 2004. Naeem and her parents subsequently applied for and attained LPR status.
According to trial testimony Mohammad Amin Doudzai, was born in 1962 in Kabul, Afghanistan, admitted into the United States as a refugee in 1981, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1988. In 2003, prior to Nabil's entry into the country, Naeem and Doudzai celebrated their marriage at the Best Western Potomac View in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Naeem, her mother and her two siblings moved into Doudzai's home in Brandywine, Maryland. When Nabil also moved into the Brandywine home in March of 2004, Naeem was seven months pregnant. She gave birth to a son on May 29, 2004. According to trial testimony, there is an extremely high probability that Naeem and Doudzai are the biological parents of her son, and that Nabil and Naeem are siblings.
On March 31, 2006, during an interview with U.S. immigration officials concerning Nabil's application, Naeem and Nabil presented a letter from a co-worker of Nabil and a letter from Nabil's landlords in Accokeek, Maryland falsely stating that Nabil and Naeem were husband and wife, and that they had a child together. In fact, witnesses testified that in November 2005, Nabil lived alone and Naeem lived with Doudzai in Brandywine. When questioned about her relationship with Doudzai, Naeem falsely stated that she barely knew Doudzai, was not certain of his first name, and denied that she and Doudzai were married or had a son together.
Doudzai became a civilian employee of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command in 1989, and was granted top secret/sensitive compartmented information security clearance in 2002. On November 2, 2005, as part of a security re-investigation, Doudzai submitted a security form to the United States Army Test and Evaluation Command. The form required Doudzai to disclose spousal information and the names and citizenship of any foreign national relative or associate with whom he is bound by affection, obligation, or close and continuing contact. The evidence showed that Doudzai falsely described his marital status as "never married" and falsely listed his deceased parents as his only relatives or associates. According to witness testimony, on December 13, 2005, during an interview with military officials, Doudzai falsely denied that Naeem was a joint account holder on one of his credit cards and when questioned about other joint financial accounts with Naeem, Doudzai failed to disclose that he had submitted an application for mortgage refinancing in November 2004 that listed himself, Naeem, and his brother as joint tenants on the title for the Brandywine house. On March 27, 2006 his clearance was suspended.
U.S. District Judge Marvin J. Garbis has scheduled sentencing for Doudzai and Naeem on April 18, 2008 at 10:30 a.m.
On January 18, 2008, Nabi Nabil, age 30, of Brandywine, Maryland was sentenced to 22 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to the same charges.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services' Office of Fraud Detection and National Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command for their investigative work, and commended Assistant United States Attorneys Harvey Eisenberg and Steve Levin, who prosecuted the case.

Forum - FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What features does the Honors Forum have?
The Honors Program Forum is a primary mechanism for communicating messages of general interest to the Redwine Honors Program community. In an effort to make the forum useful for openly exploring our thoughts and opinions, most topics are only visible to registered users that are logged in.
How do I register on the Forum?
To register, just click the Honors Program Forum link to the left of this page, then click Register at the top of the Forum homepage and follow the instructions. Your registration request will be e-mailed to the coordinator. If you have provided enough information for us to determine that you are a legitimate member of the Redwine Honors Program, an alumnus of the program, an applicant to the program, or an Honors Program faculty/staff member, then the coordinator will approve your request.
PLEASE NOTE that it is necessary for you to fill in the blanks for your first and last names so that we can determine who you are. We also need you to enter a valid e-mail address that Redwine Honors Program staff will recognize. As far as the other registration information, you may fill in as much or as little as you like. Be patient. If you register at 2:00AM on a Saturday morning, it might be a couple of days before we check our e-mail. One benefit of restricted access is that it will protect us from whoever is lurking out there in cyberspace. The forum is closed to unregistered users. The unfortunate side effect is that you will have to remember yet another user name and password. REMEMBER: If you change your e-mail address, you need to be sure and update your information on the forum so that we will still have a valid e-mail for you. It is also necessary to have a valid e-mail address listed in the event that you forget your password.
****HINT****: It might be easier to follow along with these instructions if you open the Forum in another tab.
How is the Forum organized?
First, note the "Calendar" link at the top of the Forum homepage. This is a great way to find out when the next Brown Bag will be or who's birthday is coming up.
Now for the structure of the Honors Forum: There are several levels: Category, Forum, Topic, Reply, and at least one more that hasn't been implemented yet.
There are currently 4 Categories: General, Honors Courses, Lounge, and Archive.
Each Category has one or more Forums. For example, Jokes is a forum in the Lounge Category.
Each Forum has one or more Topics. In the Jokes Forum, "Carry-on baggage" is a Topic.
You can add a Topic to a Forum by clicking "New Topic" near the top of the page. Usually you can Reply to a Topic. The first Reply to a Topic starts what is known as a Strand. In other words, a Strand is a Topic containing more than one post. You can't Reply to all Topics. For example, the Introduce Yourself Forum is set not to allow Replies. It is appropriate to introduce yourself on this forum (hence the name), but if you want to start a conversation with an individual on the Introduce Yourself Forum then you should use a different forum (note lower case.) Here's an example to illustrate the difference between Replying to a Topic and adding a New Topic: In the Jokes Forum, a new joke should be a New Topic. Commentary on a particular joke or a better version of a joke should be a Reply to that joke. As a quick review, note that the term "forum" has been used at three levels. The software itself is the "Honors Forum"; Each Category has at least one Forum-a place to hold your posts; this whole millieu is a forum for exchange of information and ideas.
How do I post an image?
If you want to post an image in a forum, use the following code, taking out the spaces:
[ url ][ img ] typetheimageurlhere [ /img ][ /url ]
How do I upload a new Avatar/User Picture?
After logging on, go to your settings page, and click Edit Profile.
Or, just click here.
Once there, scroll down to the Select Avatar section. From here, you have two choices:
- Copy the web address to any photo you have uploaded at another site and paste it in the field right next to the preview button. If you don't have a photo uploaded somewhere yet, you can register for a free account at photobucket.com, and they'll host your photo for you. Scroll down and click Update Profile.
- Click on Avatar Upload and select a photo file from your computer to upload to the forum. This photo will be your new icon. Then scroll down and click Update Profile.
Remember that whichever option you choose, the photo must be no larger than 64 x 64 pixels. If your photo is larger than that, you'll have to reduce its size by either cropping off from the edges, or shrinking the image altogether.
This can be done easily with Microsoft Paint. Once opened, you can use Use MS Paint's Image > Attributes feature to see the photo's current dimensions. Play around with the Image > Stretch/Skew values to keep shrinking the image to size.
How do I post a YouTube video?
We're going to learn how to post this classic Youtube video on the forum.
First, select, right-click, and copy the embed code from the Youtube page:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dQw4w9WgXcQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dQw4w9WgXcQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Grab the web address highlighted in red above (either one is fine, since they're the same), and insert it between two "FLASH" tags like this:
Replace the braces "{}" with brackets "[]" instead though. When you click the "Post New Topic" button, the following should appear.

The work week starts out very similar to Sunday with more seasonable temperatures, smokey and hazy skies with poor air quality for several locations. Early this morning air quality was in the "Sensitive" category for Cave Junction and Klamath Falls, Lakeview and Provolt had air quality improve back into "Good," joining Grants Pass and Medford. You can find current air quality levels under 'Weather Links.'
Winds will be shifting more westerly the next few days which means smoke will makes it's way further east, this includes areas of Southeast Rogue Valley like Ashland, Medford and Eagle Point. Winds won't be as strong today or tomorrow which will help firefighters, however, it will remain warm and dry; this unfavorable conditions will last through Wednesday. By midweek we could see the marine layer makes it's way further inland, hopefully as far as the Douglas Fire Complex, which will provide more moisture for the fire fight.
An upper-level low will develop and become cut-off from the jetstream midweek which will bring much cooler temperatures Thursday and Friday, with mid-80s for west side valleys and upper-70s on the east side! This low pressure system will also bring the threat for thunderstorms. The Cascades have a slight chance for evening thunderstorms Tuesday with a better chance Wednesday and Thursday. The threat will spread to the east side on Wednesday and a slight chance Thursday for west side valleys and Siskiyou County. Be prepared for fire starts with lightning strikes as conditions continue to be warm and dry and fire danger level is at "Extreme."
Follow me on Facebook to share your weather photos and for more weather updates. Thanks for logging on and have a great Monday!

Step 1: Lay your paper bag down on a flat surface with the bottom flap of the bag facing down.
Step 2: Rip several strips of duct tape. These will be used to cover the side that is facing up.
Step 3: Tape the front of the bag, overlapping each strip slightly. You can lay your strips horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Overlapping the strips will make the bag stronger and create a water-resistant seal. If a strip is slightly off, fix it later with a patch across the space, even as part of a decoration.
Step 4: Trim off excess tape, or fold it around the bag.
Step 5: Turn the bag over, making sure to fold down (or flip) the flap (bottom) of the bag to fit underneath the side you've just covered. Repeat steps two through four.

How To Dress Gatsby And Punk—Because, Well, Why Not?
For weeks, all I've heard fashion people talk about is punk fashion or The Great Gatsby. I get it, the Met will be hosting a retrospective of punk style and Baz Luhrmann may or may not ruin one of the greatest books of all time—both events are happening this week. What if all this chatter made us blur the lines of reality? Is punk Gatsby or is Gatsby punk? What if they collided in some fashionable explosion and we were doomed to walk the streets in confusion? It might look like something below.
The real concern though is what the hell are my colleagues going to talk about after this is all over? Sports?
Just your casual Gatsby look with a spiked choker and a safety pin midriff. Let's get flappin'.
Oh, Myrtle, not even a spiked dress will protect you from that car.
And of course, it wouldn't be Jay Gatsby without a shredded jacket and even more safety pins.

"I was looking for something different this year, more to satisfy my taste and this was great! Although I substituted approx. 3cups fresh sweet potatoes for the canned yams, the tartness of the cranberry was perfect with the fresh sweet potatoes. My family loved them and I expect to be making this treat throughout the year! Thanks, Maria"

She was born on February 14th in the Netherlands, 1989, but was actually taught to speak French first. Her mother is French and her father Dutch, they met when her father, then part of the marines, docked in a little harbor somewhere along the coast line of Brittany. They spoke English to one another for a long while before they could speak each others languages.
It's when Nas had to start school that they figured it might be handy she speak Dutch. This is where she forgot a lot of her French up until she was fourteen years old and her family moved to France.

Caetano Veloso By Tad Hendrickson Published June 11, 2007 Cê Nonesuch
Leave it to Caetano Veloso to give his 40th album the energy and spirit of a promising debut by a hot new artist. Seemingly working in the opposite direction of his lush 2005 album of standards titled An American Sound, here he works in a three-piece rock band (playing guitar, bass, drums and keys) and includes his talented son Moreno as co-producer (along with electric guitarist Pedro Sá). The songs are short, taunt, terse, inventive and sometimes overflowing with messy squeals of feedback. Those looking for something more on the sexy tip will certainly dig the urgent "Porquê?" and moody "O Herói," but the skiffle-drum driving "Outro" and the aptly named "Rocks" hit like bracing slaps in the face. No word is given on why this living legend decided to get all riled up, but it seems that he's not going to go gentle into that good night.

Can anyone tell me what the proper rooster to hen ratio is? We have 23 hens, one rooster that is 1 1/2 yrs old, and two that were just hatched this spring. I am wondering if we can keep the two young ones, or if this will be to many roosters for this amount of hens. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Traci |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have had that many, and they get along, but I think the proper ratio for a healthy young rooster to hens is about 1:20 to 1:25. Younger roosters are preferable to sire if you are thinking of incubating or letting your hens sit. Therefore I let the rooster population go a bit to the heavy side if my main man is aging. Too many roosters doesn't automatically spell trouble as far as fighting.....I've been lucky that way. But, too many roosters are hard on the hens. You'll start to see your hens backs go nekkid and when the competition is too stiff the hens can actually be so overwhelmed by roosters they receive lacerations to their backs and deep ones at that. That can lead to death. Another factor to consider is that roosters are like drone bees. They contribute little to the flock in greater numbers than you need. They eat. A lot. Why feed them through the winters. Chicken feed is not cheap. I keep one rooster per twenty hens and if I let my flock get small (less than twenty five hens) I keep a cockerel as a spare. |
If you really, really want to hatch out chickens - and ask yourself why, and is it sensible, economic, advisable, "do I have space" etc. etc. etc., then keep one. Otherwise, eat all three. As Calliope says, they are like drone bees. Only needed for one purpose, and once only. BTW I am a male chauvinist of the first order, but having bred my successor now concentrate on the finer things of life. Old McDonald. |
Well, I sorta agree. LOL. Half the joy of having a large flock is the morning serenade of the roosters. I also have egg customers who expect/demand fertile eggs. It's sort of hard to do that without a rooster. Selling eating eggs is not the only way to make a flock pay their own way. I have demand for the fertile eggs for people to incubate, and I have sold chicks as well. Not everyone wants to go the trouble to buy day olds from the hatcheries and then go through the brooder box routine, and chicks just out of the brooders and on their own are quite sellable. Now, maybe I am reading more into the little chicken brains than is there, but I am positive the hens are happier having a fella around. rofl. I'm really serious, although I am laughing. My hens seem calmer with roosters in the coop. At least once the rooster has prevented a predator from slaughtering amid the hens. One of my old favs took on a coon who got into one of the holding cages when a door wasn't properly locked. The rooster lost a toe but lived to tell about it and held his own. A hen would've screamed and just lay down and be eaten. |

We always have one rooster and a young one coming up. The old guy keeps the younger one in check and then you always have a back up. We keep approximately 15-30 chickens and have never had a problem with more than one rooster, cause the older one is always dominate over the other and the younger usually knows it's place. If one of the roosters becomes a problem, fights, into to stuff, mean, we just put him in the pot and keep the next guy in line. I love having a rooster crow and taking care of my hens, also it's cool to have a hen come out of the woods with a surprise bunch of biddies : ) |

Your ratio sounds OK if you allow lots of room for the birds to roam and be able to run away from each other. It also depends on the breed and individual bird. You may find when the roos mature that they get along great, all three fight all the time, just scuffle occasionally or there may be one problem child. Be ready for anything and to have to make some tough, quick decisions. We currently have a flock of 37 chickens, three of which are roos: 1 Americaunas, 1 Millefleur/Frizzle mix banty and 1 Silkie. They get along fine with the Americaunas as Head Roo, he will chase the other two roos once in a while to maintain his status but no serious fights. I have had to get rid of a bad roo in the past, though. I feel that roos do serve a purpose beyond simple reproduction. They are also great watchdogs for the hens, providers, and complete the social structure. I watched my original roo, a Barred Rock, beat a Sharpshin hawk off of one of the banty hens one day. He was fine and she limped for a few days. I was about 15 feet away and it was over before I could move--he earned his keep that day! I've tried it both ways, and my hens are definetley happier and better off with roos than without. :) |
Thanks for all of your opinions. I think we will keep all three for now and see what happens. So far it seems that this springs Americauna rooster is gaining dominance over the older rooster. Thanks for all the opinions. |

Slow Cooker Monday: Chicken Adobo
Monday, 2 May 2011
When I posted a plea for savory recipes after my kitchen was filled with a few too many desserts, Carolyn from All I Dream About is Food suggested her chicken adobo. It's one of her favorite chicken recipes, plus it's easy with fairly minimal effort involved. After reading her post, I thought it sounded like something that could be made in a Crock Pot. This was quickly confirmed by a Google search that found lots and lots of slow cooker adobo recipes.
Adobo is a popular Filipino dish, involving marinating and cooking meat in a mixture that typically includes vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves and black pepper. There are lots of variations on the recipe all over the Internet but I used Carolyn's recipe as my inspiration. The chicken came out extremely moist and flavorful, with meat that fell right off the bone. If you have some extra time, you can take the juices from the slow cooker and reduce them on the stove for serving. I served a the meat with rice and a few spoonfuls of the cooking juices straight out of the slow cooker and it was a wonderful dinner on a busy day.
Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo
- 1 lb. chicken thighs, skin removed
- 1 lb. chicken wings, skin removed
- 1/2 C reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 C apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in slow cooker. Mix together the soy sauce and vinegar, then pour over chicken. Sprinkle garlic over everything. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high 4-5 hours (until meat is cooked through). Serve with rice.

I bought about 5 of the Palladio herbal eye liner colors when Ulta had a buy one get one half off sale. All the of the colors were not so great except my Brownie & Exotic Plum eye liners. Brownie glides on smooth and gives a natural eye look for everyday wear. I would say it's not completely waterproof but stays on all day without smudging. For some reason, the pure black, black brown, eggplant, & smokey liner formulas are extremely dry and it tugs on my eyelid when I put it on.

Currently looking for a dupe of this product. Yes its relatively cheap ($5?) , but Im afraid this might be d/c or relabeled as I got mine at Duane Reade for under two bucks. Bought it on a whim and now Im hooked. I dont care so much for the waterproof/smudgeproof claims; Im just in love with the color! It looks like a plain old brown, no red undertones, no dark chocolate like the name implies just your average Crayola brown but thats what makes my almost black eyes look brown! Idk how but it does. Ive even looked at UD liners next to this one to find a color match & haven't been able to find the retractable convenient and the product soft enough to painlessly tightline. I use it for that and my lower lash line outer edge for a smoked soft everyday look. My eyes look so deep and mysterious, I can't even explain it. If you ladies find it, try and see for yourself.

For the price, I'm quite thrilled with this eyeliner. I wore this everyday while on my honeymoon this past week. No smudging occurred. It did fade a little from morning to evening but, I simply reapplied before going out for the evening and as was good to go. Never experienced raccoon eyes either. It isn't the absolute best eyeliner I've ever tried but, for the inexpensive price and how easy it is to find I would for sure repurchase.

I have this eyeliner in Black, and it is the only kind I use. I have really sensitive, watery eyes, and this, being waterproof, works great! It goes on really smooth too. It also isn't too hard to remove at the end of the day. It is a nice, rich black color which I love and it stays on all day. I love that it is retractable too. I hate sharpening eye liner pencils. It is my all time favorite!

I don't understand how this eyeliner got such good reviews. This is nowhere near waterproof on me or even smearproof for that matter. Within two hours I looked in the mirror it was smudged horribly. I liked the way it looked when I first applied it though so I continued to try to use it. It still smudged. If I fell asleep in it I awoke looking like I was punched under my eyes. This product was just a horrible mess. Even after powdering under my eyes it still smudged! Maybe it's just me because most of the reviews on this product are great, I guess It just doesn't work for me.

I bought this in black, and it just isn't dark enough. It's more like a really dark gray. That said, it actually has more lasting power than an eyeliner I bought from MAC. The pencil from MAC was around $18 and this one cost $3. Palladio's eyeliner did not smudge even when I was sweating. MAC's would smudge all under my eyes after a couple of hours. Still, this eyeliner is not dark enough for my tastes so I would not buy it again based on that alone.

I LOVE this eyeliner...what can I say?! I bought this eyeliner for my wedding in August (summer heat!) because it was waterproof. I knew nothing of this brand at all and it was 2 days before my wedding, so I needed a waterproof eyeliner quick! I applied the eyeliner to both upper & lower lids after I got home to test it. Now. Let me just say that it waterproof ability was put to the test: This was a VERY emotional/nerve racking day for me and I was randomly crying at various times. Then I decided to go to me kickboxing workout to get out any agression and nerves. The kickboxing was an hour long of a super sweaty workout. When I looked in the mirror and saw the eyeliner didnt budge through 2 crying episodes or a full hour of kickboxing...I just knew it wouldnt budge on my wedding day in the heat and during any crying episodes there! I also enjoy wearing this eyeliner when I dont need to utilize its waterproofing feature. It goes on my eyes really smooth and I have a hard time applying other eyeliners smoothly. I will definitely be buying this eyeliner in other colors...please let Ulta have more! I dont have any problems removing the eyeliner at night either which is a nice plus. I use Almay eye makeup remover pads. Definitely a great eyeliner!!

This is just your decent, cheap basic eyeliner. It lines pretty well sometimes, although other times I find that it doesn't completely go on your eyelids, therefore you have to press harder to get it on, and I don't like having to do that to my eyes. I haven't really worn this in a long enough period to be able to say anything about the smudge (or lack of) factor of this eyeliner. Eyeliner isn't really a staple in my make-up routine, but if it were, I'd probably wanna go for a slightly better eyeliner.

New York State Business Council forgot what happened to
Pinocchio. Pinocchio isnt the only one famous for telling tall tales. Leaders of the New York State Business Council have been fibbing about New Yorks public sector work force deliberately using inaccurate data to make it appear the state has too many public employees, and that they cost state taxpayers too much money. Why? So they can protect their Board of Directors multi-million dollar incomes, and avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Business Council fib #1: New York States public workforce is too big. Reality: New York ranks 41st out of 50 states in the number of state employees per capita. Business Council fib #2: Businesses in New York are taxed too much. Reality: Over the last 25 years, the portion of the state budget funded through business taxes has dropped from 10 percent to four percent a 60 percent decrease. Business Council fib #3: New York State can cut 20,000 jobs without hurting essential services. Reality: Cutting funding for education, health care, the environment and transportation hurts real people. Thousands of New Yorkers depend on these services every day. Its as plain as the nose on your face. The Business Council advocates severe spending cuts and massive job cuts to help solve the states fiscal crisis, so they can keep avoiding paying their fair share of taxes on their millions. Theres a better way. The New York State Public Employees Federation supports a plan that fairly shares the states fiscal burden by reducing spending and raising revenues. PEF supports proposals to close corporate tax loopholes. As another way to raise revenues, PEF also supports enactment of a temporary, seven-tenths of one percent surcharge on the portion of taxable incomes above $100,000, and another seven-tenths of one percent surcharge on the portions of taxable incomes above $200,000. Its time for the New York State Business Council to tell the truth. And its time for the wealthy New Yorkers they represent to contribute their fair share to help solve the states fiscal crisis.

Neb. Rev. Stat.
§ 43-104
Nebraska Revised Statutes of 1943 Chapter 43. Infants and Juveniles Article 1. Adoption Procedures (A) General Provisions § 43-104. Adoption; consent required; exceptions. Except as otherwise provided in the Nebraska Indian Child Welfare Act, no adoption shall be decreed unless written consents thereto are filed in the court of the county in which the person or persons desiring to adopt reside and the written consents are executed by (1) the minor child, if over fourteen years of age, or the adult child, (2) any district court, county court, or separate juvenile court in the State of Nebraska having jurisdiction of the custody of a minor child by virtue of proceedings had in any district court, county court, or separate juvenile court in the State of Nebraska or by virtue of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, and (3) both parents of a child born in lawful wedlock if living, the surviving parent of a child born in lawful wedlock, the mother of a child born out of wedlock, or both the mother and father of a child born out of wedlock as determined pursuant to sections 43-104.08 to 43-104.24, except that consent shall not be required of any parent who (a) has relinquished the child for adoption by a written instrument, (b) has abandoned the child for at least six months next preceding the filing of the adoption petition, (c) has been deprived of his or her parental rights to such child by the order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or (d) is incapable of consenting. On and after April 20, 2002, a written consent or relinquishment for adoption under this section shall not be valid unless signed at least forty-eight hours after the birth of the child. Source: Laws 1943, c. 104, § 4(1), p. 350; R.S.1943, § 43-104; Laws 1951, c. 127, § 1, p. 546; Laws 1967, c. 248, § 1, p. 652; Laws 1971, LB 329, § 1; Laws 1973, LB 436, § 1; Laws 1975, LB 224, § 2; Laws 1983, LB 146, § 3; Laws 1984, LB 510, § 3; Laws 1985, LB 255, § 20; Laws 1988, LB 790, § 22; Laws 1995, LB 712, § 20; Laws 1996, LB 1296, § 19; Laws 1998, LB 1041, § 7; Laws 1999, LB 594, § 10; Laws 2002, LB 952, § 2; Laws 2003, LB 148, § 100. CROSS REFERENCES Nebraska Indian Child Welfare Act, see section 43-1501. Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, see section 43-1226. NOTES OF DECISIONS It is clear that the district court is not to consider the issue of abandonment; the question of whether the parent did in fact abandon the child, for purposes of adoption, is exclusively for the county court. Smith v. Smith, 242 Neb. 812, 497 N.W.2d 44 (1993). The critical period of time during which abandonment must be shown to eliminate the necessity for obtaining consent to adoption from a parent under this section is the 6 months immediately preceding the filing of the petition for adoption. In re Guardianship of T.C.W., 235 Neb. 716, 457 N.W.2d 282 (1990). The consent granted by the district court pursuant to the provisions of this section does nothing more than permit the county court, as the tribunal having exclusive original jurisdiction over adoption matters, to entertain such proceedings. Klein v. Klein, 230 Neb. 385, 431 N.W.2d 646 (1988). Abandonment for purposes of permitting substitute consent for adoption must be proved by clear and convincing evidence. In re Guardianship of Sain, 217 Neb. 96, 348 N.W.2d 435 (1984). Although the critical period of time during which abandonment must be shown to eliminate the necessity of obtaining consent pursuant to this section is the six months immediately preceding the filing for adoption, evidence of a parent's conduct either before or after this period may be considered as relevant to a determination of whether the purpose and intent of that parent was to abandon the child or children. To prove abandonment in adoption proceedings, the evidence must clearly and convincingly show that the parent has acted toward the child in a manner evidencing a settled purpose to be rid of all parental obligations and to forego all parental rights, together with a complete repudiation of parenthood and an abandonment of parental rights and responsibilities. Where there has been a protracted period of totally unjustified failure to exercise parental functions, an isolated contact does not necessarily negate the inference that a person no longer wishes to act in the role of a parent to a child. In re Adoption of Simonton, 211 Neb. 777, 320 N.W.2d 449 (1982). The signing of a consent to adoption does not, in itself, release the consenting parent from an obligation to support the child and the court's earlier opinion in Smith v. Smith, 201 Neb. 21, 265 N.W.2d 855 (1978), should not be read that way. Williams v. Williams, 206 Neb. 630, 294 N.W.2d 357 (1980). Consent for relinquishment executed by seventeen year old mother of child born out of wedlock is valid. Batt v. Nebraska Children's Home Society, 185 Neb. 124, 174 N.W.2d 88 (1970). To warrant an adoption, it must clearly appear that the natural parents, if living, had abandoned the child for a period of at least six months. McCauley v. Stewart, 177 Neb. 759, 131 N.W.2d 174 (1964). Adoption is permitted where parents have been deprived of custody of minor child by order of juvenile court. Krell v. Jenkins, 157 Neb. 554, 60 N.W.2d 613 (1953). |
