On April 3, the Public Religion Research Institute released the results of a survey commissioned by The Nathan Cummings Foundation. Chosen for What? Jewish Values in 2012 is the largest survey of American Jews ever conducted by a non-partisan and non-Jewish organization.
Much of the public attention has focused on how well President Barack Obama or his Republican challenger are faring among Jewish voters (for example, this article in the New York Times). But we are more interested in what the survey says about the values of American Jews and how those values influence our positions on public policy and politics.
We underwrote the survey because, as a funder of the Jewish social justice sector and as a foundation guided by Jewish values, it is important to know more about how Jews today understand our shared experience, engage our principles and consider the issues facing our country.
So what did we learn? More than I can convey in a single email.
I will start with a simple observation. The most interesting data is often that which forces us to reexamine long-held beliefs or assumptions. As I wrote in an op-ed published on Tuesday by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency:
For example, conservatives might want to grapple with this finding. We asked participants: As a Jew, which of the following qualities do you consider most important to your Jewish identity?
The most popular quality was "a commitment to social equality," chosen by 46% of American Jews. Support for Israel and religious observance came in second and third with 20% and 17%, respectively.
On the other hand, liberal Jews take for granted popular support for their positions within the Jewish community. …The survey asked whether or not poor people have become too dependent on government assistance programs. A clear majority (54%) said they had.
So while Jews may support legal abortion and gay marriage in overwhelming numbers (93% and 81% respectively), they also agree with an argument long advanced by conservatives: Social programs create dangerous dependency.
We have set up a page on our website to aggregate analysis of the survey by NCF and others, along with links to the full survey, news stories, and other items of interest. I hope you take a few minutes to visit.
If you spend any time on Facebook, please take a moment to "like" our page. We will use the page to keep the NCF community up to date on the amazing work of our grantees and others in our program areas or the philanthropic community. This will allow us to save email for a much smaller number of important communications.
As Passover nears, I hope many of you have the opportunity to attend a Seder. It continues to be a space where I find Judaism's justice imperative most powerfully manifest through ritual.
Chag Sameach. Happy Easter.
PS: The man behind this poll, Robert P. Jones, has an column in the Washington Post's On Faith section that provides a good overview of some of the key numbers.

Montague Francis Ashley-Montagu (June 28, 1905 – November 26, 1999) was a British-American anthropologist who popularized topics such as race and gender and their relation to politics and development. He was the rapporteur (appointed investigator), in 1950, for the UNESCO statement The Race Question. As a young man he changed his name to "Montague Francis Ashley-Montagu". After relocating to the United States he used the name "Ashley Montagu". Montagu, who became a naturalized American citizen in 1940, taught and lectured at Harvard, Princeton University, Rutgers University, the University of California, and New York University. He authored over sixty books throughout this lifetime. In 1995, the American Humanist Association named him the Humanist of the Year.

I like to grow unusual plants ("plant oddities") and would like to try to grow Kalahari Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens). This would be a challenge in my temperate and summer humid U.S. climate, but it may be even more of a challenge to find a source for seed. Does anyone have supplier recommendations? Assuming I can get some seed, how might I go about germinating it? What kind of soil mixture would you recommend (besides "sandy")? "Medicinal Plants of South Afrika" (by Ben-Erik Van Wyk et al.) describes Devil's Claw as a "weedy perennial", and I'd like to know if it gets very large or rangy. By the way, I thought it interesting that the picture of the flower in this book looks a lot like a tropical gloxinia. Thanks, cranebill |

Anthony B. Robinson is a pastor in the United Church of Christ and Robert W. Wall is a professor of Christian Scriptures at Seattle Pacific University. Together they have written this volume as an exposition of selected passages from the Book of Acts with a present-day application of these passages.
In fourteen chapters they cover the main movements of the Book of Acts, from the birth of the church in Antioch through its growth, conflicts, and ultimate spread to the Gentile world. The final eight chapters of Acts are summed up in a discussion on church/state relations. The fifteenth and final chapter of the book are their concluding reflections.
Each chapter has two sections. First, there is a general exposition and explanation of the passage done in a non-technical manner, void of references, many quotations, and outside substantiation. The authors draw from the previous commentary by Wall in the New Interpreter's Bible series. The exposition is basically good, but certain liberal tendencies bleed through.
The second portion of the chapter is an attempt to make a contemporary application of the lesson learned from each section discussed. The authors give some great insight into how to learn to do church from the life of the early church. They show a keen knowledge of the relevant issues confronting the church today, and this work can be a valuable tool in knowing how to address them. Not all the applications were on target, but enough is given to make this a good tool in the study of the church.

Hi all, I recently (in October) purchased a 2009 double wide. I can't remember the brand, Champion? Titan? Anyways, there's a few things I'm not crazy about and want to change over the next few years or so. I just kind of want other MH homeowner's advice, opinions or just any general tips you may have for a new homeowner, I would really appreciate it! 1. Those fake wood cabinets in the kitchen and the fake wood crown molding is starting to peel a little. It bugs me! Will the walls support real wood cabinets? I know we've had trouble putting some things up on the walls with the lack of studs compared to a regular house. What can I do? I don't want it to look cheap, but I don't want them falling off the walls either! 2. Possibly putting drywall up eventually to replace the vinyl walls... good idea? Not worth it? The paneling bugs me a little bit, not awful right now but I may eventually want to just renovate the inside to make it look like less of a doublewide. Especially when (our plan in the future) we move it out of the park and on land onto a foundation with some sort of basement. I'd like it to look more like a ranch if possible. 3. Does anyone have any advice on the whole lack of studs thing? In a stick built house it's every 16 inches.. that doesn't seem to be the same in this. I'm afraid to put anything even sort of heavy on the walls, for example I bought a free standing pantry instead of doing any type of built-ins. Maybe it's just one of the negatives of a manufactured home though? Once again I do appreciate any advice you have. This is my first home, I've only rented before this and having a mh is a lot different I'm realizing than a regular house so I'm a little unsure about things. -Katrina |

So 1. Our home came with oak cabinets, so I done know. Even if the are a laminate cabinet they still need support, if you can figure out how they are currently hung it might help. 2. We had our home built with drywall, the only panelling is in the closets, it does not have a traditional manufactured home feel. But, the even bigger point in your second question is are you sure you can even move your home if that's your eventual plan? I would look into that question a little more before you decide to put a lot of money into your home. Many times if it's even possible to move a home, the cost is prohibitive. You might be better off looking at a brand new home delivered to your land and step up there. |

Your studs are probably 24 inches on center. |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Wed, Dec 25, 13 at 19:01
We had our fake wood cabinets refaced . They are not great but better than the fake stuff. We have 6 inch exterior walls and I believe the studs are real. The guy took our cabinets down to rebuild them then re hung them. So far no problems. Been a couple of years. I kind of crazy thing I did for our cabinets inside was use the peel and stick floor tiles on the shelves instead of paper or. It is holding up really well and looks great. Very pleased with that effort. If I had it to do over again I would completely replace all of the cabinets with good ones. not going to now. Hind sight. Oh well. I do believe the sheet rock walls is a good idea. Makes them lo so much more solid. |
Thank you for answering my questions everyone! It's great to hear feedback from other mh owners. This website has been very helpful. chrissyb2411, thank you for the suggestion. I will make sure to check into that before making any major updates/renovations. |

Your vinyl-covered wall panels are drywall. The drywall may be a bit thinner than that on conventional construction, perhaps 5/16 thick. The drywall is to meet fire codes. Wood paneling was too flammable. |

Katina when I bought my 1991 DW I found this site and it was very helpful to me. I've been here for about 4 years now and have almot totally remodeled everything. There are so many variations in building DW manuafactured homes that you have to just research and make your own decisions. I thought about replacing the vinyl wih drywall as well but chose the option of priming and painting and am very happy with that. I also had the fake wood cabinets and chose to keep them and stain them. Many people also paint them. Depends on what you want to spend the money on.I posted pictures of my remodel, I like to look at the posts with pictures as that seemed the most helpful to me. Live in it for a while and some research and take it one project at a time. Good luck! |
Yes, your walls are probably Sheetrock, just thinner than in a site built home. And your studs are there, just farther apart than site built. |
Thank you everyone! |

Alternative-medicine practice in which pressure is applied to points on the body aligned along 12 main meridians (pathways), usually for a short time, to improve the flow of vital force (qi). Though often referred to by its Japanese name, shiatsu, it originated in China thousands of years ago. A single point may be pressed to relieve a specific symptom or condition, or a series of points can be worked on to promote overall well-being. Some studies suggest that acupressure can be effective for certain health problems, including nausea, pain, and stroke-related weakness. Risks are minimal with cautious use. See also acupuncture.

Red Beans & Rice
2011-12-21- Cuisine: American
- Course: Main Course
- Skill Level: Intermediate
- Servings : 6
- Prep Time : 1:20 h
- Cook Time : 2:30 h
- Ready In : 0m
I love this dish and so does my husband. In a perfect world you can use a left over ham bone but a couple of nice ham hocks work just fine. If you're using a ham just omit the sausage – you'll have plenty of meat from the ham bone to satisfy the meat component of the soup. I've started using a pressure cooker for my beans because it cuts the cooking time by more than half and I think the results are delicious. If you haven't ventured into the world of cooking with pressure just pull out a heavy dutch oven and go to town, in a couple of hours you'll have a smoking hot bowl of pure joy.
- 1-1 lb. pkg. Red Beans (don't use kidney beans, "small red beans" are what you want)
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 pkg. ham hocks (usually 2 large hocks per package)
- 1 link of Hillshire Farms smoked sausage
- fresh crack pepper
- kosher salt
- Minute Rice - white
Step 1
Cover the beans with water, bring to a boil and let sit for one hour (you can do this in the morning and let them sit all day), then drain.
Step 2
In a pressure cooker OR dutch oven, add the rest of your ingredients except the rice. (Follow the directions that come with your pressure cooker, mine calls for 35-40 minutes for beans. If you're using a dutch oven simmer uncovered for 2 hours).
Step 3
When the beans are ready pull the ham hocks out and discard. Brown the smoked sausage and dice into bite size pieces, add to soup.
Step 4
Bring to a boil and simmer for another 30 minutes with the sausage.
Step 5
Prepare the white rice, serve the beans and sausage in a bowl with a 1/4 cup of rice on top

We have used Mouse Fan Travel. It is first time we have used them. In the past we would do everything on our own. Mouse Fan Travel has been great! Vicki Damanti is whom we have used and she is very personable and helpful. We have talked via email and on the phone. A lot of personable touches. I loved giving our ADR's and letting her handle it!
Hope this helps!
I agree with Sharon, Mouse Fan Travel is the way to go. You just tell them what you want, including ADR's, and they take care of all the details. It's obvious that they know their stuff just listening to Becki and Annette on The WDW Radio Show and WDW Today. Have a great trip!

Agreed! They do a great job with answering your questions
I have always used Mouse Ears Vacations.
The service is free and they take care of every little detail.
I also have friends who have used Kingdom Konsultants which is a similar service.
You cannot go wrong either way.

While I book my own trips, I have heard nothing but good things about MEI Mousefan Travel.
I just booked with MEI Mousefan Travel, Stephanie has been great to work with so far. I've usually done the leg work on finding the deals, but this time I just wanted to let someone else handle it. We're also going in February and it's easier to let them find the best deals for you.
We use The Magic for Less & have been just delighted w/the service!
Many, many years ago we also booked through AAA and they did a nice job too (but they don't handle your ADR's).

In an effort to make personal safety a top priority, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) and the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) today released a new video, Chicago Fire Department - Everyone Goes Home®. Members of the CFD and families of fallen firefighters share their stories in this compelling and moving testimonial of the importance of adhering to safety standards and accepting personal responsibility for following procedures.
"The culture of firefighting requires us to do everything we can to make sound decisions so we can be in a position to help the people we serve when they most need it," said Ronald J. Siarnicki, executive director of the NFFF. "With this video the firefighters and leadership of the Chicago Fire Department are clearly showing the rest of the fire service you can still be a firefighter and at the same time do your best to make sure Everyone Goes Home®."
More than two dozen survivors of fallen firefighters, including coworkers and family members, participated in the filming of Chicago Fire Department - Everyone Goes Home®. The video took nearly one year to complete and was produced and directed by Rob Maloney of Cool Water Multimedia.
Please provide us with your contact information so we can let you know about other exciting videos like Chicago Fire Department - Everyone Goes Home®.

Certificate Program in Clinical Research
Rationale for the Program
Clinicians and scientists who wish to work in clinical research often need additional didactic training in order to gain the necessary skills that are not covered in their health professional or graduate education. Many faculty and fellows are not able to take the entire MS in Clinical Research track but would like evidence that they have successfully completed training in clinical research. The Maryland Higher Education Commission has recently approved the Certificate Program in Clinical Research to provide this option.
Educational objectives of the Program
To provide didactic training (12 credits of coursework) in the core aspects of clinical research.
- Design and conduct a study that minimizes bias and confounding.
- Design studies that can be applied to clinical practice.
- Access and critically appraise research literature in medicine and related domains.
- Form research question, operationalize variables.
- Know when and how to use quantitative methods and understand the results.
- Choose the appropriate sample size and power to test hypotheses.
- Effectively collect and maintain study data.
- Evaluate and communicate study findings to scientific and lay audiences.
- Write a research grant proposal that will successfully compete for funding.
- Manage a research team and build multidisciplinary collaborations.
- Respect and protect the rights and welfare of individuals participating in research.
Description of the program
This 12 credit certificate in clinical research program will provide training in the core competencies of clinical research including study design, biostatistics, data management, scientific communication and the ethical, legal and regulatory issues in clinical research.
List of courses
- PREV 600 (3 credits) Principles of Epidemiology
- PREV 616 (2 credits) Introduction to Clinical and Translational Research at UMB
- PREV 706 (2 credits) Research Informatics: Data Management for Research
- PREV 633 (1 credit) Application of Legal and Regulatory Issues in Clinical Research
- CIPP 909 (1 credit) Responsible Conduct of Research
- PREV 620 (3 credits) Principles of Biostatistics OR PREV 621 (3 credits) Biostatistical Methods (with approval, students may substitute another 3 credit biostatistics course to meet this requirement)
- Please note that PREV 620 must be taken concurrently with PREV 619 Introduction to SAS (1 credit). Most certificate students should plan to take PREV 621 unless they plan to transfer into the MS in Clinical Research program. If planning to transfer, students should take PREV 619 and PREV 620.
Expected student learning outcomes
Students are expected to obtain a B or higher in all courses to demonstrate competency in the above areas at the level of a certificate program.
The Graduate School requires a completed application (online or paper), one set of official transcripts from all prior undergraduate and and graduate study, three letters of recommendation and a statement of academic goals and research interests. The Graduate School normally requires Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores for admission to graduate programs and uses GRE scores as part of the data on which it bases its admission decisions. The scores, however, are never the sole criteria for admission. If you are a health professional (e.g. clinical fellow) or health professional student (e.g. dental student), you may submit the scores (e.g. MCATs) you used to be admitted to your professional school. Please refer to the application instructions for complete information regarding application requirements. For additional information, download the Frequently Asked Questions or contact Jessica Kelley by phone (410.706.8492) or by email (email@example.com).
Tuition & Financial Aid
Financial assistance is not available for the certificate program. Download information on tuition costs.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is LEVI (aka Chulo)!
Facts about LEVI (aka Chulo)
- Breed: Italian Greyhound/Pug Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
LEVI (aka Chulo)'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Chulo is a fun loving sweet little guy. He is Italian Greyhound/Pug/Chihuahua mix and weighs 18lbs. He loves to cuddle on the couch and watch TV with his people, although he has his playfull and energetic times - especially when he can chase a ball or jump and catch in the air. Since he's a bit of a jumper -he's does better with school age kids. Chulo likes other dogs. (not sure about cats). He was surrendered by his former owners who'd had him since he was a puppy and kept him outside primarily and then decided they no longer wanted him. . .so he is in the process of housetraining. He is learning his basic commands: Sit, stay. Chulo is waiting for his wonderfull, forever home.
Other Pets at SaveALife DOG Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
LEVI (aka Chulo), a Rancho Cordova Italian Greyhound/Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Italian Greyhound/Pug for sale in Rancho Cordova, or seeking a Italian Greyhound/Pug dog from a breeder in Rancho Cordova.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Rancho Cordova already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Rancho Cordova breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Italian Greyhound/Pug breeders who help with Italian Greyhound/Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Rancho Cordova paves the way for another one to be saved.

Tucson - Rhiannon McMahon works three jobs to pay back college loans and her other bills. Imagine how the 30-year-old Flowing Wells resident felt when she received a phone call recently from a guy who told her she had been approved for a loan of up to $7,000.
"I was excited," she told the News 4 Tucson Investigators. "I would be able to pay off some debt."
But the "loan" from a company the caller identified as "Loan Easy USA" came with a catch: Rhiannon had to pay $180.00 upfront (which the guy told her would be her monthly payment on the loan), for a pre-paid re-load card from Walgreens, then call the "lender" with the code number on the back of the card. She did both.
She said, "They contacted me back and said because my credit was so low, I had to pay an additional $157.00 to bring my credit up just enough for them to deposit the money in my account."
So Rhiannon went back to Walgreens and paid all she could afford, another $140.00, for another pre-paid card. With card fees, she spent about $330.00.
"Nothing was deposited into my account," Rhiannon told us. "I made several phone calls back to the number they contacted me from and it went straight to their voice mail, no answering, no answering."
They took Rhiannon's phone calls until they took her money. So the News 4 Tucson Investigators called the number she gave us. A man with a heavy foreign accent answered (Rhiannon said the guy who called her also had an accent). When we identified ourselves, he hung up.
Although the phone number we called had a San Francisco area code of 415, scammers use Internet technology to disguise their real phone number, which is known as "spoofing."
Nick LaFluer of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona told the News 4 Tucson Investigators, "It's a big problem, especially in recent weeks. We've received a number of phone calls, including people who've fallen for this scam, who've been ripped-off."
The Federal Trade Commission says there are several red flags regarding phone calls from someone offering loans or government grants:
-It is illegal for companies doing business by phone in the U.S. to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver
-Legitimate lenders don't ask anyone to wire money
-A real government agency won't ask you to pay a processing fee.
Also, grants are not just given out over the phone. They require an application and other paperwork..
Another Flowing Wells resident, Chris Scott, didn't fall for it when a man (also with a heavy foreign accent) called last week, saying he's from "United States Government Grants." He told the 57 year-old retiree that he's eligible for a $9,000 grant.
"And I'm thinking, 'Boy, this must be a scam", Scott told the News 4 Tucson Investigators.
We had Scott call the number back when we were at his house, and to ask for the caller's address. When the man first contacted Scott, his caller ID came up with a 616 area code, which is in Michigan. When Scott called the number while we were there, he asked for the guy's address. He said it is 200 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, D.C. That's the address of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
LaFluer of the BBB of Southern Arizona advises, "If you get one of these calls, tell them 'I know this is a scam. Don't call here again.' Hang up the phone."
We asked Rhiannon McMahon, "If you could ever talk to the person who did this to you, what would you say?" She replied, "You're disgusting. I pray for you. That's what I would say."
If you get a phone call from someone offering a loan or grant, you can file complaints with several agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission, at https://ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1. Or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
It's difficult for law enforcement to find these scammers, because they say many if not most of them are in foreign countries using temporary phone numbers.

DEL NORTE, Colo. (AP) - It could be tomorrow before the heavy winds start to die down in southwestern Colorado where they've been fanning an unpredictable wildfire burning among drought-stricken, beetle-killed trees.
The blaze has grown to an estimated 114 square miles and firefighters are making little progress.
They're focusing efforts on saving an evacuated summer retreat.

We had a fairly cold and wet winter in California this year and I had a lot of flowers on our two Fuyu trees and was hoping for a good crop of fruit.
A few days ago I checked and found that all the flower buds had dried up totaly. The trees look very healthy otherwise, what could be the problem |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi there, How old is your tree? I just planted mine here in Tucson and I had the same issue. But I am not stressing out on it since it isn't even a year old yet....however, the tree looks great and I do have some fruit forming. I have never heard of this fruit before nor tasted it so I look forward to seeing what it will do. It's a very attractive looking tree:) |

There hasn't been much action lately, but the Pirates officially made a few minor moves today. The following five players were signed to minor league contracts with invites to spring training:
- Kyle McPherson, RHP: The 26-year-old righty was designated for assignment & non-tendered by the organization a few weeks ago. Considering he had Tommy John surgery this past July, it didn't make sense to keep him on the 40-man roster if he's unable to pitch. It's nice to see "McFear" back on a minor league deal. He's posted a 3.57 ERA over seven MiLB seasons; he had a 2.73 ERA in 10 appearances for the Bucs at the end of 2012.
- Travis Ishikawa, 1B: You may recall the 30-year-old first baseman from his time with the Giants or Brewers. A left-handed hitter, he's been unable to stick in the major leagues, playing just seven games in The Show last season. In 382 MLB games, Ishikawa has hit .260/.324/.398.
- Michael Martinez, INF/OF: This signing was picked up a few days ago by Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish. Martinez, 31, plays all around the diamond but can't hit at all – he's hit just .187/.234/.261 in 162 games since 2011, failing to reach the Mendoza Line each year.
- Daniel Schlereth, LHP: The son of former NFL lineman Mark Schlereth, Daniel was part of the big D'Backs – Tigers – Yankees trade four years ago. Schlereth has struggled with ridiculously high walk rates, but is still young at age 27. He hasn't pitched in MLB since 2012.
- Adam Wilk, LHP: Like Schlereth, Wilk is another lefty who last pitched in the bigs with Detroit in 2012. The 26-year-old has posted solid minor league numbers since 2009: 2.66 ERA, 7.0 K/9, 1.3 BB/9.
The team also signed two players to minor league contracts (no invite to ST):
- Brandon Mann, LHP: @27imokemp had info on this signing about two weeks ago over at U Gotta Believe. Mann, 29, has pitched in Japan the last few years with the Yokohama Bay Stars.
- Elvin Ramirez, RHP: The 26-year-old righty has spent seven seasons in the minors with the Mets and Angels organizations, posting a career 4.02 ERA in that time.
103 days until Opening Day.
Go Bucs

I really like that McPherson is back with the Pirates. While he has had some injuries in his professional career to this point, Charlie Morton showed last season that pitchers can come back strong from TJ surgery. McPherson could be a part of the Pirates rotation in the future, and as of right now, he gives them similar rotation depth that was used and much needed last season.

A Short Convo With... Kandi Burruss
The ex Xscape member talks to VIBE about her upcoming solo album, her fiance (with those kids), and how she kept her cool on one of the hottest shows on TV.
VIBE: You're pretty laid back and polite. What was it like to be on Real Housewives of Atlanta and be surrounded by feuding personalities?
KANDI: Well it was different. Right off the rip, everybody wants you to side with them. I didn't really listen to anything they had to say. People have said things in the past that I knew wasn't necessarily true. I just tried to stay open-minded and neutral. And a lot of stuff they would say didn't make sense to me. Like, "You're mad because this person is talking about you, but you're always talking about them." Who cares?
You're born and raised in Atlanta. Is the show a true representation of what it's like to be affluent down there?
I wouldn't say that. Last season they didn't have anybody like me, so I'm sure that they're some other people that aren't being represented. They are a lot of big time attorneys and doctors here. I don't think we represent everybody.
On the show, we see Kim ask you to write a song for her. Does that ever happen?
Yup. Actually her song is number nine on iTunes' Dance chart. [Ed note: Kim Zolciak's "Tardy for the Party" was released through iTunes on September 1 and is currently ranked 10 on their Dance Chart.]
Taste in music is at an all-time low.
[Laughs] Over the next few weeks, you're going to see how it came about and how we put it together. At first, I was skeptical. I feel like you don't have to be the strongest singer to have a hit record. You just got to have the right producer, the right engineer that know how to tweak it and the right writer.
Who produced it?
Don Vito
Everybody on the show is an aspiring something, from fashion to music. Who do you think is the most talented person on the show, aside from yourself?
I definitely have to say that Lisa is about her business. She's got so many ideas that she's trying to make happen and eventually, I think it's going to come together. Now also, I've got to give it to Shereé . Last year when the whole thing with her fashion show didn't come out right, everybody counted her out. But this year, they haven't showed it yet, her fashion show turns out really good. So between those two, I don't know.
You're just about done with your second solo album. What's it called?
The album is called Kandi Loves B.L.O.G.S., [which stands] for Business Loves Online Gossip.
Why did you choose that title?
A lot of the songs on the album were inspired by stuff that I'd seen while reading the blogs. I was like, "I might as well make this a dedication to the blogs."
What's one song that was inspired by a blog's post?
Okay, there's a song called "It Must Be Good." That's the song they showed me recording with Jazze Pha on the [Real Housewifes of Atlanta] show. Basically, I was looking at a couple of the blogs when everybody first found out that I was going to be part of the show. And they were going in real hard on AJ, which is my fiancé. They were just saying all this negative stuff like, "Oh, he got all these kids. He ain't got no money. He ain't cute." And somebody else said, "Oh, he must be good in the bedroom for her to be putting up with all that." I actually thought it was hilarious and cute. I was like, "That's a good concept for a record." So in the song I'm just naming all of these things, I'm speaking from the outside looking in about all the things that are going wrong in the relationship and between each line, I'm saying "It must be good." And then in the hook, I'm basically saying, "Yeah, it is good." [Laughs]
AJ, your fiancé, has six kids. What's so great about him that made you want to deal with the potential issues you could have with them and the other mothers?
One, we have great communication in our relationship. He's just a good dude. We always have fun together. He would bring the kids around. And I like kids. So anytime a man is around his kids and has a good relationship with the kids, to me, that gives him cool points because I have a daughter of my own and I want to know if a man is going to be able to love my kids like he loves his own.
What does he do for a living?
He owns a collections agency.
Do you guys have a wedding date yet?
As a song writer, you've been very successful. You wrote "No Scrubs" for TLC. What are some other hits you're responsible for?
[Destiny's Child's] "Bug a Boo" and "Bills, Bills, Bills," "There You Go" for Pink, and a lot of songs that were on albums, but weren't the single. I've worked with N'Sync, Alicia Keys, Fantasia, Whitney Houston, all the people I've ever wanted to work with, except for Janet [Jackson].
Which side of the business has been better to you, the writing or being the artist?
Being a successful songwriter is way better than being the artist. In Xscape, we had three platinum albums, but we didn't make that much money. We collaborated on a couple of songs, but we weren't doing a lot of the writing. As far as royalties, you don't even have to be on the big single. You just have to be on a lot of big albums. And the royalties off those big albums are wonderful. [Laughs] I have been blessed enough to be on a few diamond albums (10 million records sold) in the past. People don't understand, just having a song on a diamond album, those are some good royalty checks.
Are you coming back for another season?
I'm just playing it by ear. We haven't really started talking about it yet. I don't know what their plans are and I haven't thought about what mine are. --Brad Wete

Artist : Sea Power & Change
Title : Remixed
12" Vinyl & Digital
Released : December 19 2011
A counterpart to Portuguese producer Tiago's beautiful Sea Power & Change EP, the Remixed EP. Soft Rocks takes Strangefruit for a an dark dub on side A, speeding it up slightly and throwing in a smacky snare. Secret Circuit's version of Wild Combination juxtaposes wobbly synths and guitars in a sort of Spaghetti Western vibe. And all is gravy once the record flips and we sink into the Jonny Nash (of Sombrero Galaxy) remix of Yesterday Is Dead. You can't link it the original no matter how hard you try, but why try with such a melted masterpiece on your hands?

When I dug my hole to plant a fig tree I dug it to deep. When I planted the tree and watered it, it sunk into the hole about four inches. Will it kill the tree if I cover that much trunk? I did not want to dig it up because the root ball was very loose and I am afraid it will come loose of the roots and shock the tree. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hello Jstall, Was the tree at the same level as in the pot when you planted it and after watering, it sank, or had you already planted it too deeply before the watering and it sank even more? How old is the tree? Instructions I've gotten for planting fig trees is: If you want a tree, plant it 2" deeper than it was in the pot. If you want a bush form, plant it at least 4" deeper. This is according to the booklet I got from the LSU Cooperative Extension Service. I've planted fig trees deeper than 4" and they did just fine--they got roots where the soil covered them. Maybe you could scoop some of the soil out around the tree to form a dish around it and that would lower some of the soil, if you're worried. noss |
Hi Noss, I did not pack the soil in the bottom of the hole which I dug to deep. After watering the tree sinks about three or four inches below the soil surface. Leaving the tree three or four inches deeper than it was in the pot. I was thinking it would just root kind of like a tomato plant does but was not sure. Don't want to take a chance on killing the tree. Thanks for the info. |
I did the same with several of the young trees I planted 18 months ago. So far they're oing just fine, if that's any help. Dave |
the tree will be fine. good luck! |
The tree WILL be fine. Cover with mulch or soil. The fig tree is one of many tree's or plants that would be better to cover above the rootball rather than below when transplanting. I guess yours happened for a reason. Rafed |
Then your tree will be all right according to LSU Extension and my experience because I've always planted my fig trees at least 4" deeper than they were in their original container and they've all thrived. I have planted several six inches deeper and they did well, even. :) noss |
Very interesting. I have planted all of my fig, lemon, pom. trees (all in pots) 2 inches above soil line and they all growing vigorously. I do plant my fruit trees in ground the same way. |
nkesh09:I do not know where you are located,but if you live in hot climate it is ok to plant 2 inches above ,for fig trees,and if one live in cold climates,it is recomended to plant 2 inches deeper than for temperate trees. Why:So the tree developes,underground branches,and become a strong bush rather than a single trunk fig tree. So in case it is killed to soil surface, it has underground branches with live buds that will grow fast and even produce fruits the same year. |
herman, Thanks. That was very informative. My trees are kept in zone 6 thats where my house is but I also live in AL and MA for work, don't have any trees there. I have two figs in ground (1st season) that were planted 2-3 inches above soil line, plan to mulch them heavy and wrap them for winter. Navid. |

Q&A: R. Kelly Says Freaky 'Black Panties' LP Is An Ode To Public Sex, Strip Clubs
Have you shot a video for the first single with 2 Chainz ("My Story")?
No, but we did a viral video for right now because I'm going to tell you. "My Story" is the set-off of the album. It's not necessarily to me or the company the single, but it sets the tone for the album. This is my story: money, cars, bad chicks and all of that. You put that out there to set that record straight and then you go into Black Panties. And anyone that knows me knows that I will come out with an "I Wish" or I'll come out with "Heaven I Need A Hug" and then I'll go into "Ignition."
This year, you've made it a point to perform at well known rock and alternative music festivals. I talked to you about this before when you said, "I can rock any crowd." What has the reception been like? Were you shocked at how positively you were received?
I wasn't necessarily shocked when I did Bonnaroo and Pitchfork. I was a little nervous before I went out because I wanted to be accepted by all genres of people; all types of people…white, black, it doesn't matter who it is. I want it to be universal. I want it to be the world, my music, whether it's a sexual song, or "I Believe I Can Fly," "Ignition" or whatever it is. But I was a little nervous because this was my first time in America rocking such a large white crowd. There was 70,000 people out there to see little old black me onstage [laughs]. I'm doing all these R&B joints like what's going on? I'm from the Southside of Chicago. And before I even hit the stage there was all these people screaming, hands going side-to-side. Man, that let me know what something weird was going on. It's time to just push this button and wake the world up.
How did it make you feel to see 60,000 white kids out there mouthing every word?
A lot of things go through my mind. To be from the Ida B. Wells, Jeffery Manor, Robert Taylor and all these [Chicago housing projects] and all of these parts of town, and to come out from out of that 'hood—and I mean deep 'hood—to come from there and have all these people no matter what color, no matter where they are from singing my music and my lyrics? It's a breath. I didn't have nothing to do when I was getting into this business, now I'm like the busiest man in the world. It's crazy. But it's a great feeling.

My wife asked me yesterday why we are not growing Eggplant ten weeks after she asked me not to. (Man I hate these cooking shows.) So today I purchased a large Ichiban Japanese Eggplant for her. There are three plants in the pot. Is it best to plant them as they are with three plants so close together? Or should I try to separate them and plant all three separately? I will be building a trellis for them. (I can't help myself, its what I do.) Any recommendations for the size of the trellis? Can Eggplant be overwintered in warm climates? Anything special I should know about their planting and culture? I don't like Eggplant and have never grown them. Even so I know that if they fail when everything else is thriving I will be in the Dog House for sure. (And we don't even have a dog.)
Somebody help me. |

My wife asked me yesterday why we are not growing Eggplant ten weeks after she asked me not to. (Man I hate these cooking shows.) Its your fault for not growing them, you know. Nonetheless, separate them, you'll get growth delay but better than crowding. Dan |

You don't really need a trellis per se. The plants are more shrubby than climbing and mine don't get more than 3-4 feet tall. I had splurged on some of those metal "ladders" for peppers and shorter tomatoes and they work great--sort of cradle the plant and its branches and fruit, better than a single stake but more 3-D than a trellis. So something home-engineered like that would be good. |
Thanks guys. I will just treat them like any other plant in my veggie garden and build them a small trellis. Dan, I'm the man. I know it was all my fault. That was never in question. |
Yes, you should have understood what she really meant the first time around. But hey, eggplants were created expressly for hot climate gardeners, so you have a chance to redeem yourself. Even in cloudy MI, eggplants make stems as thick as a thumb. I give them a short stake but they don't even need that. The same stake is ideal for peppers and of course too little, too short for tomatoes. I agree that they can be split with TLC, immediate soaking, and careful transplanting and weaning for the first week or so. |
Thank you glib. I do plan on providing some support. During a monsoon we can have sustained winds of 40+mph with gusts exceeding 60mph. I know my wife loves eggplant and should have planted them to begin with. Don't know why I listened to her. Its my job to please her. She was just trying not to impose on my space and I guess I just wasn't thinking strait. Thisisme's internal dialog. (Remember dummy!!! Its not what she says that you need to pay attention to. Its what she means by what she says that you need to pay attention too.) I sheepishly accept the punishment for my crime. Forty lashes with a wet noodle seems appropriate for such a sever infraction. |

Of course they can be over wintered. I live up in New England so can not give specific advice on the best way. But up here I have to over winter using containers. You might be able to over winter by using cardboard boxes over the plants on cold nights. If it stays cold you will need more than that however. Another trick is double coverages. use boxes then put plastic greenhouse over that. simple sheeting over some bent pvc will do the job. I would try to grow at least one in an 18 gallon nice tote. that can be brought into the house on bad cold nights or for a week or more. drill a few holes in the bottom. I do 5 holes. lets the water drain out. eggplant can grow well in wet soil better than lots of other things. in fact some people use egg plant roots for graft material. you can also cut back the plant. allow the leaves to fall off if they do. when it warms up good the plant will put out new leaves and grow. hope it lives. I never did it up here in new england. But you should only need a few days or nights support to keep it alive over the winter so it seems straight forward to accomplish. I would try to keep it under plastic sheeting in the rainly fall to keep disease off the plant. keep it dry. a simple covering will do the job. just keep the leaves and stems etc dry if possible. Another trick is to make rooted cuttings to make more young healthy plants in the summer when warm to give smaller plants to carry over the winter. have fun doing research. |
We grow these every year and love them; they are NOT like your traditional Eggplant as they are a lot more dry and versatile (imo). We do often get them at the local home store in clumps of 3 and usually root bound. We separate them into their individual plants and put them into 7 gallon containers (container gardeners here). They all do really well and a real productive. As far as hot climates go, I'm in Orlando (zone 9) and they do well. Keep an eye on the leaves, if they start to droop then add some water and they'll come right back. As far as using a trellis, no real need. I will either use a simple stake up the center, or put them in a small tomoato cage (the triangular shaped ones). |
Thisisme, If you don't even like eggplant and your wife asked you not to grow them, perhaps you should grow a pair instead of three ichibans. Point to the garden area and tell her to make herself at home. |
I don't think the eggplants will really need a trellis. First of all, they don't get very tall even with your long growing season. I'd be shocked if they get over 3 ft. Secondly, the skinny Asian eggplants don't weigh as much as the big Italian ones so the fruits are pretty light. Don't let them get too large if you want the best taste and texture. Lastly, eggplant stems are fairly rigid so trying to get the stems attached to a trellis might be counterproductive. The best thing to do imho is to just use a medium sized tomato cage. |
I prefer the Asian eggplants. Never any bitter taste like the larger ones. If you've never had grilled eggplant give it a try. My favorite way to eat the veggie. Slice lengthwise, brush with olive oil, and grill for a couple minutes each side. Top with freshly grated Parmesan or pesto. |

I've seen some pictures on Gardenweb with eggplants over 4 ft tall. Maybe it's the variety, maybe it's just my brown thumbs. But Ichiban usually tops at 2-3 feet for me. I only use a few bamboo sticks or cheap tomato cages to keep them upright. But it's challenging to keep the fruit off the ground (imaging 8 inch long fruits on 2-3 feet tall plants). |

Apr 13th 2011 11:02AM I suppose that explains why Fordragon stands a better chance against the Lich King's will, whether it's the spirit of Ner'zhul or the fusion of Ner'zhul and what was left of Arthas.

I don't have many leftovers today, but the last of the turkey and some vegetables went into a ten inch turkey pot pie. New recipe hope it is good. What are you doing with yours?
Sue |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your pot pie sounds good, Sue. I'm making turkey chowder tomorrow. It's been a family favorite for years. My DSis is making hers today. I cooked the carcass and all the stuff in the bottom of the roaster today and have a whole lot of rich turkey broth. I'll seal a lot of it for future use and next year's gravy. Thank heavens somebody invented the Food Saver! I don't do anything with the rest of the stuff, 'cept eat it. Sent a lot of food home with DD, and need to use as much as I can by Tuesday when my new frig is being delivered. Sure glad I have a back-up frig in the garage. |

Maybe a pot pie too but later...Today we will have Turkey sandwiches...My DH just loves them so I will make that for him today. I cooked two turkeys so we will have plenty and I saved lots of drippings for gravy that I can use for pot pies or other dishes.... We only saved enough veggies for one meal and the rest went home in leftovers for the kids to take home. I was surprised at how little was left. I actually made an extra pan of dressing so I'll cook that today too... |
Leftovers - I didn't have much left. We're nuking them and eating them, just like yesterday - they're almost all gone. |
I took a Honey-baked Ham to family dinner. I'm going to cook the bone down to make stock for bean soup. I do have some ham left so I will make ham salad for me - hubs isn't much for leftover ham. I may use a little tomorrow morning in an omelette for breakfast for us. |

I sent all the leftover turkey home with my sister. Yea! |

I swear our turkey was drugged!! I have never had a turkey that caused me to go unconscious after eating it and it did it to both of us both times we ate it. I mean seriously! I have eaten a lot of turkey in my life and never had that happen. Last night around 6pm or so I fixed my plate of leftovers for dinner ate it and by 7pm I was passed out in my recliner. I tried really hard to wake up and watch tv. Could not do it, next work up at 9pm struggled to get myself to the bedroom and into bed. My husband was out in his recliner too. He said he woke up at 10pm and was all alone LOL so he came to bed. I did not wake till he woke me heading out to work this morning. And I feel like I have been on a 3 day drunk (well I have never been on one of those but you get my drift LOL) So I am scared to eat any more of it!! I have all the stuff to make soup with the carcass and leftovers but I am not sure we can stand to be drugged again LOL. But that is my plan to at some point make soup. |
No leftovers :o) What was leftover from lunch, my grandson came and inhaled the rest~ |

Sense DH was not feeling well, we stayed home but DD brought the leftovers to us. Nice meal last night and a bit for today. |

We celebrated Thanksgiving on Wednesday, and made turkey soup for dinner last night. Delicious! |

I ate at my cousins, so no leftovers. I am getting ready to bake a corn casserole and cook up some cranberries. |

Turkey is not a favorite of mine at all. The side dishes yes.I look forward to making a piping hot turkey sandwich,, with delicious homemade gravy and stuffing tonight for dinner. |
no left overs for us. But when we do have leftovers, a turkey sandwich is THE best! |
Yesterday I made a crustless quiche to eat for breakfast with some of my leftover ham. I froze some of it and most of the turkey. Going to make ham & beans and turkey soup. |
We had Glenda's white chili last night for supper, using turkey breast instead of chicken. Moni |

Professional Conduct
Professionals Don't Show Clients Wireframes
Quality. It's essentially the antithesis of compromise. It's what clients want, but often not something they're willing to follow procedure to get. It certainly doesn't help that designers make compromise far too easy for them either. When potential clients approach us, they are looking to hire us because they are interested in the high caliber Continue Reading »

Pt4 Setting Client Expectations
It's a Team Effort. Be a Good Leader. When you take on a client, you are essentially partnering with the client by forming a team with them.

Sapiens DECISION
Can Impact
Which loan to approve?
Which products to offer to a new customer?
Which transactions are not in compliance with regulatory requirements?
Every operational decision made by your financial institution is rooted in your organization's business logic (strategy and policy). But business logic is only effective if it is properly reflected in your organization's business rules – the core foundation of all operational decisions.
Sapiens DECISION puts your business users in control of business logic by providing an environment to independently develop, validate and deploy decision logic. This independent business logic model assures end-to-end consistency, completeness and governance of business logic
By standardizing and centralizing business decision logic, Sapiens DECISION complements your firms' existing business rules and process management systems. This technology-agnostic approach allows IT the freedom to select the systems and platform that best suits the needs of the business.
Sapiens DECISION is an enterprise-scale Decision Management System (DMS), built upon the principles of The Decision Model, developed by Larry Goldberg and Barbara Von Halle of Knowledge Partners International (KPI). The Decision Model is a new way of looking at Business Logic. Often called "business rules" before, business logic is what drives the operational decisions in business. Instead of trying to manage the logic of one business rule at a time, The Decision Model groups the rules into their natural logical groups to create the structure that makes the model so simple to understand, communicate and manage. Sapiens DECISION can enable you to:
Sapiens DECISION is a full enterprise product that enables logic authoring, testing, governance, and execution to be handled in a strategic and structured manner.
When a request to implement logic based upon a change in business strategy or regulation is received, it can be difficult to understand the business impact and associated efforts required to implement the changes required. Sapiens DECISION includes a 'model workbench' that provides a visual representation of existing decision models, allowing a clear view of related business logic. This view enables impact analysis and assessment the overall project scope, as well the ability to easily identify the components that need to be changed and/or created.
Rather than express business requirements through narrative, Sapiens DECISION enables business requirements to be clearly and unambiguously expressed through the use of structured decision models. The decision models are designed using DECISION's centralized glossary of business terms, using a fully governed workflow that provides full traceability of performed changes. This approach allows the logic to be validated, and decisions tested, at the business requirements planning stage ensuring accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
In today's world, IT develops code and rules based upon their understanding of the design. With Sapiens DECISION, the code can be automatically generated based on the technical design created by business users and then integrated into the execution environment by IT specialists ensuring accuracy and consistency.
Rather than perform logic validation and system testing at the end of the development phase, Sapiens DECISION shifts testing of logic consistency and completeness upfront into the business requirements stage. Further, test cases can be automatically generated and used to perform system testing. This approach allows problems and errors to be discovered very early on, thereby minimizing risk and reducing unnecessary costs.
Typically, changes are deployed after the code had been written and unit tested. Sapiens DECISION generates code into an existing target execution environment or to its own execution server, significantly shortening the integration time.
Today's approach to logic management spreads logic components across various applications and systems, limiting reusability. Sapiens DECISION allows organizational logic to be centrally developed and managed, providing full reuse of logic across all organizational systems. The benefit? Greater consistency, stronger governance and lower development costs.
Sapiens DECISION can be a significant benefit for firms seeking to adopt or adhere to an Agile project delivery approach. Sapiens DECISION methodology is Agile in its nature – each large business change request can be easily broken into a set of independent logical tasks, while each is executed through a full cycle of design, deployment, testing, and documentation. Impact analysis (to size sprints more accurately), logic validation, case generation and testing, code generation and documentation are all base capabilities provided by Sapiens DECISION.

Finally - good design for the masses! This fabulously designed (of course) book was produced collaboratively by the self-described bastard children of the fine arts: MICA graphic design students and faculty. Based on the premise that "design is art people use" and should be accessible to everyone, the authors begin with basic design principles, in a writing style that feels like a good conversation.
Featured project ideas run the whole gamut from blogs, books, brands, (fight the corporate power by making your own), and business cards (even chocolate brownie cards) to embroidery, flyers, housewares, logos, and yes, T-shirts. There's a great section on kids and design that highlights how design can serve as the best defense for kids against our corporate-sponsored landscape. Each page is an open invitation to reinvent your world, as well as yourself.

You are here: Get Educated > Statistics
The following are statistics on four types of sexual violence: sexual assault, stalking, partner violence, and sexual harassment. These statistics are only meant to show the prevalence of sexual violence in American society and to show you that you are not alone. Statistics, though, only show the most common types of sexual violence. These figures are in now way meant to take away from those who experience sexual violence in a way not described here. Sexual violence takes many forms, and each is very real, even if accurate statistics do not exist on each type.
-Information provided from the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault, 2006 Research Report on Rape & Violence.
A new survey of 756 students at the University of Pennsylvania and Rutgers University found that men accounted for 42% of on-campus stalking victims, compared with 2% of men in a recent survey of the national population. 58% of stalking victims were women. 56% of campus stalkers were men and 43% were women. The survey found that 12% of students had been stalked, and that women stalkers were 3 times more likely to be found on campus than in the population as a whole. In general, researchers concluded that stalking is more common on college campuses than in the population at large.
-Statistics provided by Womenspace in Eugene and the University of Alabama's Women's Center. Sources from the US Department of Justice, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and the American Psychological Association.
-The following statistics are from studies done by Louis Harris and Associates, a worldwide polling firm and reports from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
According to a study conducted in Massachusetts, young lesbians and bisexual girls experienced more sexual harassment than heterosexual girls. 72% of lesbian and bisexual girls reported that they were called "sexually offensive names" by their peers, compared with 63% of heterosexual girls. Lesbian and bisexual girls were significantly more likely than heterosexual girls to be "touched, brushed up against, or cornered in a sexual way (63% as compared to 52% of heterosexual girls) and to be grabbed or have their clothing pulled in a sexual way (50% compared to 44%).

Rain Leads to Double-Header at Lowe's
- Oct 10, 2003
- Team Hendrick
CONCORD, N.C. (Oct. 10, 2003) – Inclement weather postponed Friday's NASCAR Busch Series race at Lowe's Motor Speedway as rain moved into the area during the late afternoon. The race was originally slated to start under the lights at 8 p.m. ET.
The event was started under caution as the field followed the pace car for nine laps before the race was red-flagged and rescheduled. Those laps will not count when racing resumes.
The Busch Series event has been moved to Saturday, Oct. 11 at 11 a.m (NBC, 11 a.m.).
As originally planned, the UAW-GM Quality 500 NASCAR Winston Cup Series race will go ahead as scheduled, with a 7:30 p.m. green flag on Saturday (NBC, 7 p.m.).

I wanted to mention to all my friends and fans out there, if you are looking for a great gift idea this upcoming holiday season, be sure to order from Amazon.com As I Walk These Broken Roads by D.M.J. Aurini. I recently reviewed his book and personally rated it the must read book of 2012.
The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by nuclear war and without giving away any spoilers, it's a tale of civilized men trying to survive in an uncivilized world full of degenerates and helpless fools. It is at its core a clever allegory for our modern day Western civilization where value, knowledge and passion have been "nuked" by the culture wars and a few of us are but men wandering the world in search of a country to call home (where none exists). This book is incredible.
So as they say on Reading Rainbow "you don't have to take my word for it" ... be sure to buy either the softcover copy (which I did) or get the e-book version from Amazon.com. If you grew up during the whirlwind 1970s or 80s I know especially this book will connect with you in a very powerful way.

For the 15th consecutive year, the Chester Recreation Association (CRA) Dolphins are Division A champions of the Chesterfield Aquatic League (CAL).
Over 1,000 Chesterfield residents poured into the Beulah Swim and Tennis Club Friday and Saturday, as 21 teams competed for this year's CAL championship. There, teams stayed cool from the record heat by taking refuge in large event tents provided by the league.
"It's a great summer league and it's unique in that the four-year-olds are on the same team with those who are 18," said first-year CAL president Tim Faherty. "The young swimmers look up to the older ones, who are sort of their mentors. It's truly a great family environment – both parents and kids interacting. There's just nothing like this dynamic."
The competition followed the summer's regular dual-meet season – which CRA also won – and had the 1,100 registered swimmers compete for four Division championships (A, B, C, D) in freestyle, breaststroke, the individual medley, butterfly, backstroke, the freestyle relay and the medley relay. Competition in each division was determined by each team's finish the previous year, depending on their accumulated points, with the A Division being the most competitive.
The CRA Dolphins finished the weekend with a total of 1,037 points, the highest accumulated by any team in the CAL competition.
In the 9-10 medley relay, CRA broke a league record by two seconds, previously held by Salisbury, according to CRA coach Barbara Miller. The team's Audrey Crouch, 10, – one of the young ladies who helped to break the record – received five gold medals in the Gold Division.
"It's been a fantastic weekend. The kids swam unbelievably; and on the relays they really out-swam themselves," said Miller, who has coached the CRA team for a number of years. "They really came through and encouraged each other and did things that weren't even predicted."
Woodland Pond won the championship in the B Division; Foxcroft the C Division; and the Meadowbrook team won the D Division. Aside from the competition, Meadowbrook's Breagan Wallin was also awarded a $1,000 scholarship by the CAL.

There are many different ways to raise funds for your event. A successful event will include a combination of some, or all, of the following types of contributions.
Donations can be in the form of cash, checks, or credit card payments. Checks should be made payable to CureSearch and credit card forms can be obtained from your regional office. Upon completion of your event, all funds should be mailed to CureSearch. Please do not mail cash. Convert any cash to a check or money order prior to sending.
In-kind donations are tangible gifts from corporations or local businesses that take the place of a cash donation. These gifts are tax-deductible.
