ALBANY — Troopers of the Georgia State Patrol are asking for help in finding a man who eluded them in a high-speed chase Thursday night. According to Senior Trooper Darryl Benton, Albany Post 40, the troopers had set up a child safety seat checkpoint at the intersection of Radium Springs and Red Bud roads. Benton said that about 8 p.m. the troopers observed a black 2006 Chevrolet Equinox attempting to make a U-turn to avoid the checkpoint.
Benton said he then proceeded to make contact with the driver of the Equinox, causing him stop the vehicle. A license check identified the driver as Willie James Bush, Benton said, who was instructed to park his car on the side of the road and to walk to a nearby patrol car. According to Benton, Bush then drove away at high speed in an attempt to elude the troopers.
Benton said troopers chased Bush down Radium Springs Road to Oakridge Drive, where a failed precision immobilization technique, or "PIT," was attempted to stop Bush's vehicle. Bush continued to Holly Drive and then Georgia Highway 300, Benton said, traveling north in the southbound lane. According to Benton, Bush then exited back onto Oakridge Drive headed the wrong way for the lane he'd entered, then proceeded west on Oakridge where a second PIT was executed, striking the back edge of Bush's vehicle with a GSP patrol car, causing the Equinox to spin around.
Benton said the fugitive's vehicle "turned over several times" before landing on its top. Bush got out through the broken rear window and fled on foot, Benton said.
GSP officials say Bush is charged with obstruction or hindering law enforcement officers, fleeing or attempting to elude, reckless driving, driving on wrong side of road, failure to maintain lane and driving on suspended license, no seat belt, failure to stop at red light and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Anyone with knowledge of Bush's whereabouts is asked to call the GSP at (229) 430-6585.

serow, xr650, xt600, v-strom, f650gs or ktm what to choose as a newbie
Hi ya,
Newbie with a bit of a choice to make. I am moving to the UK and will be looking for a bike overthere to do some green laning and some off roading. It will be my first go doing this stuff. I have a weekend training booked with BMW in Wales.
I want to buy a 11XXgs for my normal use, doing the cruising through Europe and all that. With the occasional gravel road thrown in. I am just thinking either ot get bike on the side and if so what should I be looking at, 400 or 250. Which models. I want to do the mainentance myself, which bikes are easy to work on...
Or should I throw out the whole 11xxgs idea and get one bike to do it all, like a F650gs dakar or KTM Lc4 Advenure.
Your opinion please.:D
Best bet for a newbie dualsporter in Europe would most likely be a DR650 Suzie or a KLR. Low and comfortable and good all round. The XR650L and KTMs are too single purpose. Beamer 650 is ok but too expensive for what you get IMHO.
The answer is obvious! DL650 V-Strom:wink:
Suzuki offers a 650 single in Europe that looks very similar to the F650gs with similar HP numbers. Might be worth a look :deal
Best choice for the money I agree is the Strom.:deal Im a heavy packer and have been at this for 20 yrs so I leaned on the big side of the brothers. A buddy has the 650 and we have a blast swaping on our rides. :D You RARELY hear of ANY trouble with them and maint is alot cheaper if you deal with the dealerships. Just my two cents. Good luck and watch out for the other guy!

I have a basic script for an enemy to chase a player when the player gets near him. When the player "escapes" the enemy I would like the enemy to return to it's starting position.
I am having a little trouble storing the initial enemy starting position and getting the enemy to return there. The enemy successfully follows the player and stops following when the player gets too far away. But when the enemy is supposed to return to his start position I get an error.
Here is the relevant code (the game is top down view):
I have ommitted any code that isn't relevant. I also did a debug to check that ReturnPosition() was being run and it is.
The error I get is:
Thanks for taking a look.

Looks like the error comes from this line :
Because you're storing your startPosition variable as a Vector3 (transform.position) and then later you're referencing it as startPosition.position. That means what you're really calling is transform.position.position.
I would change your startPosition variable so its declared as something, so do
private var startPosition : Vector3;
then use your startPosition = transform.position
And then in the code, instead of using startPosition.position, just do startPosition.
should do the trick, and cut down some processing time by declaring the variable as an actual type.

Works brilliantly. Thanks for looking at it!

Just another quick note, I noticed your code defines a myTransform : transform. I presume you're using something in the update function to set myTransform = transform each frame. If its all within the same object you can just as easily use transform.position instead of declaring a myTransform and using myTransform.position. Not really a big deal but if you have a lot of objects it can save you some processing power.

Corpus Christi police: Athletic field damaged by vandals 2 straight days
CORPUS CHRISTI - Vandals have created a nightmare at a sports complex where people with disabilities pursue their athletic dreams.
Twice this week police have found the fields at 1354 Airport Road, near the Corpus Christi State Supported Living Center torn up. Nearby buildings and vehicles also were vandalized.
Officers were called about 9 a.m. Tuesday and again about 8 a.m. Wednesday to the sports complex, which is under construction. Police said one field had been trenched with a vehicle, severely damaging irrigation lines.
Nearby water fountains had been torn up, a concession stand was ransacked with more than $1,000 worth of food destroyed, police said.
Damages to the field are estimated at several thousand dollars, police said. Officers were gathering evidence Wednesday but have not released any suspect descriptions.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 888-8477.

I am pretty certain SMP is powered by the color pink. We love it like we love a good glass of bubbly or any and all episodes of The Real Housewives… meaning a lot. And this Calistoga wedding so beautifully captured by Matt Edge has our number. From the long family style tables to the wildly stunning details crafted by Napa Valley Celebrations to the perfectly pink florals by Kathy Hoffman Flowers, we're all on board. Click here for even more.
Alaina and Brent's destination wedding was at a private estate in Napa wine country. The inspiration for the day was rustic chic using the bride's favorite colors of light pink, grey and white. The ceremony took place by a lake lined willow trees which were hung with pink flowers. Guests dined poolside on a long farm table under a canopy of trees. Other highlights of the day included a vintage Thunderbird and cigar roller (which was a surprise gift for the father of the bride). It was a beautiful day filled with good food and wine, laughter and lots of love.

Just got home in time for the halftime show.
That's how it's done! :thumbup:
RFS, I think TV coverage of football is now designed for the generation raised on video games. IMHO, some of that stuff is helpful. For instance, I love the First Down line. That makes the game so much easier to follow and explain. But I would say that the arrow with down and distance is gratuitous.
Best Half-time show ever!

A wild first half. Very un-patriotic of the Pats. Alot of mistakes, and very sloppy on both teams. The Eagles could have very easily had 4 turnovers.
The refereeing is pretty mediocre too.
I still say the Pats will come out on top.

That was a great halftime show, though. No thanks to FOX, it's the NFL trying to make up for last year. Same with the excellent pre-game national anthem.

remember my walls post? i really like this one. nay – LOVE this one.
i am very drawn to this apartment – check out the rest of this illustrator's rad pad.
hey, want to move to sweden with me? malmö, specifically. it's pretty cold there right now but we can hole up in this apartment. it's for sale for R3,5m. did you know the swedish krona's exchange rate is basically on par with the south african rand? i didn't either. it makes me feel pretty great, except a coffee there probably costs 30 bucks which makes me feel the opposite. it's okay, we can take our own coffee & live like monks! if you can bring the 3.5 million we'll be set.
i'm moving into a new place this month, and i'm excited. i'll be living with my very good friends (yay) and just the thought of experiencing a change puts a spring in my step. have been catching myself looking at interiors online, which is kind of futile since i don't have a money tree (yet). yeah. so, this is kind of what i would like my house to look like… one day. or at least elements of. taste veers drastically from very light & airy to pretty dark & moody.
if i can't have the shack then no one can! muwahahaaa. wish i could live out my drunk-with-power fantasies.
as seen via here, there and everywhere.
saw this shop on for me, for you yesterday – i would happily put every single item in my house
if you're like me then you peruse the selby often (and by often i mean all the time), and there would be no need to show you these pics. but i'm going to take a shot in the dark and share them with you in case you're not a follower. this is hervé pierre's apartment in new york city, he's the design director for carolina herrera.
i have never been a carpet person, i much prefer an expanse of empty floor than having rugs lying all over the place (especially loose carpets on a floor that already has wall-to-wall carpeting… something i will never understand.) slowly though i have come to the realisation that it might just be because i have never come across carpets i actually like.
a pretty cool modern renovation of a turn of the century row house in washington, dc
i wish we had more row houses in SA, i would love to live in an urban street not dissimilar to what you see on london, new york & other cities the world over. smaller than a house, bigger than a flat. what more could you ask for?
charmingly rustic light filled little cottage by the sea, be mine?

It's Cold Outside! Is Global Warming -Really- Over?Written by Paul Burman
- It's not actually that cold - it is cold right now, but it is not like every place is setting record lows. Some might even say that winters like this are more like the winters we used to have; but due to a recent string of warmer than average winters this one just feels colder.
- Some places are really hot right now- Australia and New Zealand are currently in the midst of record heat waves, and Bulgaria is close to 72 degrees right now. The 2000s were the hottest decade on record, with the 1990s closely trailing. In fact, over the last ten years, the only continent to not experience warmer than average temperatures was North America.
- Nobody said it would never get cold again - Winter is supposed to be colder than Summer - and a cold streak is perfectly reasonable in winter. But with global warming, the incidence of record cold days to record warm days has shown a measurable and significant drop over the last 60 years.
- People have short-term memories - it is hard to remember the summer heat when you are bundled up, your toes are cold and your nose is running like a faucet.
- People confuse weather with climate - it is nearly impossible to link any single weather event to global warming - hot or cold, catastrophic or normal - there are just too many factors at play. So one cold streak doesn't disprove global warming just like one warm streak doesn't prove it. The best measures of the climate come from scientific analysis and from observing long term trends.

Environmental Benefits
- Mitigates climate change
- Waste management
- Odor control and less localized air pollution
- Reduction of local water pollution
Community Benefits
- Locally sourced, renewable energy
- Development of new technologies and additional jobs created
Project Description
Carbonfund.org supports the Chino Basin Dairy Farm Biodigester Project because it helps to reduce methane emissions and lessens the impact of global climate change. Biodigesters capture the methane generated by manure and transform it into a clean, renewable energy source. This particular biodigester collects manure from ten local dairy farms and is responsible for reducing more than 8,000 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions from the atmosphere every year, while also supporting local farmers and protecting the quality of the region's groundwater.From 2003 to 2009, the Chino Basin Dairy Farm Biodigester mitigated nearly 30,000 metric tons of CO2. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Leaders Program notes that more than two billion livestock exist in the US and account for 7% for anthropogenic methane emissions.

Dr. Alan Greene on PE Tubes
My son has had his PE tubes for three years. I recently read that leaving the tubes in for more than two years may result in scarring or damage to the eardrum. Can you give me any additional information?Answer
The average length for most types of PE tubes to stay in is about nine months, but they sometimes stay there a good bit longer.
Generally, the tubes should be allowed to fall out on their own. If they don't, they may have to be removed. The typical time to do this is when kids are 6 years old because taking them out is done under general anesthesia and you want to delay it as long as possible, to be sure they won't fall out on their own.
About 15 percent of kids who have tubes in for several years will have a small hole left that takes a while to close on its own. About 1 or 2 percent will have a hole that doesn't close. Some of them need a simple surgery to close it.
The scarring that people talk about is cosmetic and inside the ear. It doesn't generally affect hearing at all.

Careers News Centre Staff QuickLinks
Students are considered to be gifted when they show (or show the potential for) remarkably high levels of accomplishment in learning rate, depth of knowledge, reasoning and problem-solving abilities when compared with others of their age, experience and environment. Giftedness may include intellectual, academic, artistic and kinesthetic talents.
Within CBE there are many available programs that may meet the needs of gifted students. For more information, please follow this link to Program Options.
Students with exceptional cognitive abilities may be eligible for placement in Gifted and Talented Education (GATE).
GATE is for students in Grades 4-12 who have been identified as intellectually gifted. The goal of GATE is to support academic and personal development. GATE aims to encourage self-understanding and the achievement of individual potential. GATE programming allows gifted learners to work collaboratively in classes made up with like-minded peers for their academic studies. Students may progress at a faster pace through the regular curriculum (Alberta Education Programs of Study). They are provided with frequent opportunities to apply higher level thinking skills and diverse problem solving strategies to real world topics. There are opportunities to explore areas of particular interest through independent research. GATE students in junior high and high school have the same choices of complementary courses (options) as other students of the school. They are typically active in school wide activities and extracurricular programs. At the high school level GATE programming may also include courses selected from the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP) programs. Class sizes are typically between 16 and 27 depending upon the grade level and the complexity of the needs of the individual students.
GATE is accessed through a referral and placement process. Information about GATE locations and about the referral and placement process is provided in the following document:
To discuss how your student's needs are being met or to discuss a possible GATE referral, please contact your student's school. School personnel will find applicable forms within Forms A-Z in CBE insite. If your student is not currently registered in CBE, please contact:

Works great - 1 time!
Wierdness details: Win98SE, Asus P3V4X P3 1ghz, 256mb cas 2 ram, GF4-TI4200, all of the latest drivers, 3Dmark 2001SE = 6986. Will run test indefinitely. No overclocking cpu or gpu. So the problem is, it will run any game the first time for as long as I can stand to play, no funny stuff. Starting the game a second time results in a total system lockup after 15 seconds up to 2 minutes. I am talking a wide range of games from Carmageddon TDR2000, to GTA3, with No One Lives Forever in between as far as age/technology. Re-booting, changing settings, disabling everything in the system tray, nothing makes a difference. If I'm able to play a game for the first time for as long as I want, but can never play again regardless of settings, and I change nothing in the system in between, can anyone guess what is going on? It's as if the games write a config file on exit that borks the game after a re-load. This system is otherwise 100% stable, and all of the games ran fine (albeit with lower framerates) with my prior Voodoo3 3000. I ran the setup redetection programs for all games prior to running with the new card. In all cases the new card was properly detected and the game ran fine the first time. I've read all of the postings that seemed relevant here including a post of the P3V4X being to "old", but my point is, if it will run perfectly once, why won't it run again?
Hmm, first, that's a VERY low 3D Mark score in my opinion. With a non-overclocked GF4-Ti4200 and a Athlon XP 1700+, i get a little more than 9000! Sure, 1ghz CPU is low, but that score, says locking is not your only problem - there's more than that.
Okay... So...
1. In your BIOS, you *are* activating AGP and not PCI, right? And you ARE activating the highest AGP setting you can ( 2x or 4x, not sure what it is on your motherboards )
2. Are you enabling AGP fastwrite? If so, you could try to see if you still got the problem without it. If you didn't activate it, activating it shouldn't make the problem bigger. Also, if you aren't doing so, it might be a good idea to activate Side Band Adressing to increase performance.
3. You DID uninstall the Voodoo 3 3000 drivers correctly, right?
4. Did you install the latest Detonator drivers?
5. Also, "Graphic Win Size" or "Aperture Size", names depend on BIOS, is activated? If it isn't, activate it. If nothing else works, try disactivating it.
You might want to try flashing your BIOS, who knows... don't have a lot of ideas, it's a pretty odd problem.
If REALLY nothing works, your last chance might be formatting your HD and reinstalling windows. But before that, you better see if anyone else got ideas.
Thanks for your reply. I'll try to answer your questions in order. As to the score of 6986, using Madonion's online browser, I have been able to determine that this is a normal score for this motherboard/chipset. If I had been able to get any stability, I was going to overclock - this processor/mobo/memory combo runs at a 150 fsb no problem (with the voodoo card).
1. Bios is set for 4x agp traffic with SBA enabled. The 4200's properties, 3dmark and Sandra all agree.
2. AGP fastwrite is enabled. I disabled and re-ran 3Dmark 2001, score went from 6986 to 7517! So much for fast write.
3. I removed the Voodoo card in device manager, and uninstalled the 3dfx tools program from add/remove.
4. The driver is listed as 4.13.01.3082.
5. Aperture size is set to 64meg
6. Bios is flashed to the last version available (1.005) as Asus no longer supports this board because it's (choke) 2 years old. (Thanks Asus!)
After the fast write increase I ran 3dmark in loop mode for 40 minutes at default settings (1024X768 32 bit) with no problems. I started up GTA3 and did nothing at the games' opening screen (on the bridge) and it locked up in 48 seconds. I got Aquanox bundled with this card, so I installed and played through the 1st part, taking my time and moving about in a non-linear fashion. After the 1st mission had completed, I exited the game, rebooted and restarted the game. It locked up in just under 2 minutes!
I could handle this nonsense if it always locked up. That would mean a power supply problem, or a heat problem, but it just blows me away that 3dmark runs forever, and all games run fine the first time. That proves that the system can handle it. I keep going back to what changes between the initial game play and subsequent reloads. Did I mention that the 4200 can't even do 640X480/16 on reloads, but runs initially at 1024X768/32?
At this point I agree that a complete windows re-install is the next logical move, but I think I would rather shoot myself than deal with 60 gigs. Or I could just re-install my V3-3K and play games at 800X600 16 bit until I can afford a whole new system that the 4200 can handle. Sort of like buying a whole new car because the battery won't hold a charge!
If you (or anyone else) has any further suggestions, please post. You might just be preventing a suicide. (Just kidding folks).
people do underestimate the importance of the CPU I've noticed...
All I can honestly say is check for Windows patches and shiz.
maybe some 3dfx files and crap are still there. Lots of companies have had problems with drivers such
Try setting your AGP aperture to 128 as that's the setting that GF4 Ti cards seem to be the most comfortable.
As part of the troubleshooting process, I backed off on my up-to-date Via 4-in-1 drivers v4.40 and re-installed v4.35 on advice from the via forums. Whenever a new video card is installed on this mobo, or the drivers change, it always installs in windows at AGP2X, regardless of the bios settings. There is a registry key supplied by Asus support that they claim is a "Windows AGP 4X turn-on key". This key is named "ViaAgp4x.reg". It's content is[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\System]"EnableVia4x"=dword:00000001. Indeed when this key is inserted, windows, card properties, and 3dmark all report 4X as being enabled. This is suspect however, because with 4X enabled in bios, my 3dmark 2001 reported a speed of 6875 before the key change and 6889 after, so it certainly makes hardly any difference speed wise. With this key in the registry however, the mysterious locking issue occurs on all game re-loads. If I change the key's last digit to 0, everything reports AGP2X and all games run perfectly. I tested GTA3 for several hours continuously with no problems at all. It appears that the "turn-on key" is not much more than "window dressing" and certainly borks the system. Whether or not this board actually runs at 4x is anyone's guess, but it certainly won't run anything but 3dmark with this registry key turned on. Now that it actually works, I'm off to tweak land to try and raise scores in 3dmark, but since that test is so easy to fool, maybe I'll just enjoy some of my games first! Thanks to all, and I hope this info may help someone else saddled with a Via chipset.
SBA/FW problems?
Last week on a whim I activated SBA+FW on my GF3.
Holy Crap! Lock-up city in WinMe and Safe-Mode!
I couldn't deactivate the settings unless I re-installed WinMe.
It would freeze @ desktop and in Safe-Mode (no-reg boot)
Had to put my GF2 back in (it was stable w/SBA+FW) to
deactivate the settings in RivaTuner.
GF3 works great again! I don't know which setting borked
my card. I think it's SBA, or a combi of both?
Anyways, to me, it's not worth the system instability.

Hey Wang,
As you can see from my sad tales of terror above, the problems between Via chipsets and Nvidia cards is an ongoing battle. Remembering all of the posts of problems in the past several years, I specifically held on to my trouble-free Voodoo card until it was just to far behind the curve. Hoping that Nvidia and Via had reached some level of cooperation by now, I took the plunge and was rewarded with hours and hours of troubleshooting. Basically the Nvidia/Via combination will always be volatile and a real minefield awaits those who are brave enough to change any performance settings beyond the default installation. More details on the continuing conflict can be found at ViaArena.com. The faq's, troubleshooting sections and the forums are full of hints and tips and tales of woe, and I think that you and I are lucky that we figured out the solution to our individual problems in less than a week. There has always been a trade-off between stability and performance, but with the deadly Via/Nvidia combo, anything other than default is russian-roulette. My best suggestion to anyone brave (foolish?) enough to try fooling with settings is get that old 2-6 gig drive out of the scrap heap, install the operating system, various test programs and games, unplug your current main drive, and make the old drive work again as your test subject. Worst case = swapping drives back. It's a lot of trouble to go to, but it beats the hell out of reformatting your main drive.
For those about to bork, I salute you!
I got an nforce. Only troubleshooting involved is user stupidity :D
Old News
It looks like nothing's changed. I waited years to buy a new video card because I was hoping this would be resolved by now, but nothing has changed in 2 years...
Is it possible that you are running out of RAM? Check your free physical ram when you open and close your games. It might be that you are low on RAM and when you close applications, they don't release the RAM they were using properly.
This may seem like stupid question but, what version of DX is installed? Also, check to make sure the 3DFX opengl (opengl32.dll?- replace it with the one from your windows disk) driver is gone. I remember having similar problems with win98/3dfx cards and then switching to Nvidia cards. The fact that it runs fine the first time makes believe that it's definitely software and not hardware. Sounds like somethings not getting unloaded when the game exits.

Beyond the Combine.com The majority of educated observers have been decidedly undecided when it comes to Ryan Nassib. Exactly how good is the Syracuse senior signal caller? At least one respectable source says, "pretty darn good." Pro Football Weekly named Nassib to its All-American team. Nassib is the squad's only quarterback. So according to Pro Football Weekly, Nassib is the top QB prospect in the country. Here's how the magazine chooses its All-Americans: "PFW's All-America team annually honors college football's most talented players and is determined based on extensive evaluation and considerable feedback from NFL evaluators, taking into consideration how players grade out both in their assignments and by the quality of critical playing traits. PFW honors are distinguished by the premium placed on skill, football temperament and instincts and seek to recognize players we expect will become outstanding pros.

Are Not A Dieting Machine
Do Not Expect Perfection & Neither Should You
Your Weight Is NOT Your Fault - It Is Not About Will Power
Life is still happening while you are getting to a healthy weight.
You will never be a failure at Dr. Beale's Medical Weight Loss.
You are simply a person trying their best to live a healthy life.
You will learn:
- Why many popular
diet and exercise plans DO NOT work for you

Your Weight NOW??
Let's be
honest – it is a difficult world out there right now. Stress
levels are at an all-time high. Uncertainty has replaced
"security" because of our economic condition. People are
unsure about everything, including tomorrow. Because of
these elevated stress levels, existing debilitative
conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and
arthritis will only get worse.
Many doctors agree that a modest weight loss of only 5% will
reduce, prevent, or eliminate many of the symptoms of
these diseases.

Dr. Beale was a medical weight loss pioneer.
He realized over 40 years ago that many of
the illnesses he was treating including hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and
arthritis were either caused by or worsened
by being overweight. He wanted to help
patients lose weight so that they
would not have to be on as
many medications and suffer the side effects of
those illnesses.
In his singular focus of treating
obesity, Dr. Beale personally talked with tens of
thousands of patients and had hundreds of thousands
of one on one conversations. He truly was able to determine
what works and what does not work for long term,
sustainable weight loss.
While there are no "magic"
diet pills or shots, Dr. Beale did extensive
research on the use of oral medications, injections
and supplements, along with their potential side
effects, in order to help support a patient during
their weight loss journey. We, the physicians
and counselors at Dr. Beale's Medical Weight Loss,
still use his treatment philosophy to this day
because it has shown to be safe and
effective since the beginning.

Sweet Potato Chili
Do you ever wonder what you can do with sweet potatoes?
Can you imagine sweet potato chili?
A lot of people, some of them in my own family, would rather go hungry than eat sweet potatoes.
But, due to a medical problem I was recently diagnosed with, they are getting only what I can cook and eat for myself… poor babies.
So, it's out with the old standbys like white potatoes, rice, and GF pasta. And, in with the new like…
Braised Beef , Gluten-Free, Paleo or Low Carb
Braised round steak is a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal that will fill up hungry teenagers and satisfy even the most die-hard meat-and-potatoes lover. It can be served "au jus" or with a thickened gravy.
My mom taught me to cook this is braised beef round steak. In fact, it's one of my earliest childhood memories.
The recipe that my mother taught me survived conversion to gluten-free in 2000, when I was forced to go gluten-free by my celiac disease. And, it remained a family favorite ever since.
Chicken Broccoli Parmesan in the Slow Cooker
My husband did not like chicken or sour cream much at all when I met him, but he has since become a fan of them both, especially when they are together in dishes like this saucy chicken and vegetable combination.
I especially like how easy this is to put together – it has simple ingredients that don't take much preparation except to add to the crock pot. I could easily throw it together before rushing out the door to work or to an appointment, and then later I can come home to a delicious dinner.
Golden-Topped Gluten-Free Moussaka
Here is a delicious meal that has more than meets the eye. Each forkful of this gluten-free casserole is rich, flavorful and saucy, and more than that, it's also full of veggies and healthy stuff, too.
Vegetables are wonderful… I love them. But some of my family members are hard to convince that they're worth eating… especially eggplant!
However, that is not a problem with this moussaka. It looks good, it tastes good and everyone at my dinner table has always liked it, even though it's full of meat plus eggplant, onion, potatoes, mushrooms and tomatoes.
Just for the record, I have found…

Cincinnati Reds shortstop
The history: This is the infield equivalent of the post-Edgar Martinez DH situation in Seattle. Since Barry Larkin's retirement in 2004, Rich Aurilia, Felipe Lopez, Royce Clayton, Alex Gonzalez, Jeff Keppinger, Jerry Hairston and Paul Janish have been temporary fits at shortstop. Now it's Orlando Cabrera's turn.
The outlook: The Reds have occasionally kicked around the idea of shifting Brandon Phillips to shortstop. But he's a fine run-producer and a Gold Glove defender at second base, and they risk messing up two spots if they take the plunge and move him.
According to Baseball America, five of Cincinnati's top 17 prospects are shortstops. The group includes Billy Hamilton, Miguel Rojas, Netherlands native Mariekson Gregorius, Chris Valaika and Zack Cozart. Valaika, the quintessential "baseball rat," is probably better suited to second base or a super-utility role than full-time duty at shortstop. Cozart, a former All-American at Mississippi, can really defend. He might be the best long-term bet if his bat continues to develop.
Until someone emerges, the Reds will be scrambling.
"It's one thing to keep changing left fielders," said a National League front-office man. "But you like to be consistent up the middle. When you've got a revolving door at catcher, shortstop, second base or center field, then it's an issue."

Power Lawyers: THR Unveils America's Top 100 Entertainment Attorneys
Harvard Law School
Why he matters: Ramer's intellectual, hyper-professional style permeates every aspect of the law firm he leads, helping guide the careers of A-list filmmakers (Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, David O. Russell) and even top TV brands (Gordon Ramsay). The secret, he says, is sticking to the deals and not the scripts, a lesson he learned the hard way a few years ago after agreeing to a client's request to read a screenplay over the weekend. "I called on Monday and said, 'Thanks for the joke on me; obviously you're kidding, you'll never do that,' " recalls Ramer. "But he did, albeit with a different title. It was his most successful film ever. He never asked again."
Big deal: Ramer recently closed Spielberg's pact to make Bradley Cooper's military biopic American Sniper his next movie.Click here to read THR's complete Power Lawyers list.

Return to Kin Platt book reviews
Chris Platt

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! The date has been set for the republishing of Kin Platt's classic YA novel, Sinbad and Me. If everything goes as planned, the book will be available on May 1, 2015. Official press releases should be going out shortly to more than 4,000 booksellers, retail outlets, reviewers and other interested parties, and I will them along for your information once they are ready. Sinbad will be published by Page Publishing Co. and will be distributed by Ingram Content. The hardcover edition will retail for $26.99, the paperback for $14.99, and the eBook version for $9.99.

Hi Amos, glad you are looking into his other books. I highly recommend Mystery for Thoreau, published posthumously by FSG. It was his only historical novel, set in Concord, Mass., in the time when Henry David Thoreau was there, living on Walden Pond. It also is the only one of his books that was edited, by me and some FSG staffers, because he would never permit any alterations to his manuscripts while he was alive. The book is a YA title, for the same age group as Sinbad, and is a lot of fun, even if we did edit the heck out of it.

Sounds great Chris! I just told my son about this and he's looking forward to reading this great book as soon as we get it. And it is very encouraging that such care has been put into making the reprint done right. BTW, looking into this has prompted me to check out some of your father's other books as well.

Hi Amos, Yes, we expect the new printing to be coming out in a matter of weeks. When it is ready, we will let everybody on this Board know, and you can also check the Kin Platt and Sinbad and Me Facebook pages from time to time, to find out how and where to buy the book.

posts on 3/12/2015 10:37:05 PM
YES! I still remember Sinbad and Me as my favorite book from when I was one of those kids who basically read every single mystery that my public library had on the shelves. I was telling my wife (a Waldorf teacher) about the book a few years ago, and found to my amazement that not only was it out of print, but that the only available used copy cost $200+. (Here in Madison, WI, none of our areas libraries have it.) Tonight, we were discussing it as how it would be a great read -aloud book for her class of 3rd and 4th graders, as well as to give to our just-turned 12 yr old son. So I checked up on it again, read her some of the reviews on Amazon (all 29 being 5 star, BTW) which were all saying "bring back this book!" And did I mention that the only available used copy is now over $700?! Anyway........then did a little more digging and came upon this board which says that a new printing is coming out this Spring! Great news, we'll be buying a couple copies the minute it does. Many, many thanks!
Chris Platt
posts on 2/24/2015 11:57:24 AM
Hi Michael, thanks for your interest. We have been trying to get the book republished for at least 12 years, and this is the route we have had to pursue. This Spring, Sinbad and Me will be available at all major book retailers in hardcover, paperback and or eBook versions. The distributor is a print on demand outfit, so the book may indeed end up eventually at a halfprice bookseller, if they order copies. I wanted to get the book into the two bigbox retailers I had mentioned earlier because that assures many sales.
Michael Ramsey
posts on 2/23/2015 5:22:59 PM
I have been looking for this book for many years and would like to see it back in print. Have you considered a different sales outlet. Maybe a secondary retailer like half price books would be interested in a unique offering like this,
Chris Platt
posts on 2/1/2015 4:16:07 PM
Hey Steve, Great to hear from you. As I said, we are looking to get the book out this Spring. It's ready to go to print as soon as I give the word, but I am trying to nail down a couple of big retailers beforehand. If anyone knows or has an in with the bookbuyers at WalMart or Costco, please give me a holler.

I don't use a computer often, but I did want to check back after Chris very generously provided me with the pleasure of being able to revisit his father's work after so many years. Count me in as another admirer who would be very appreciative to be able to purchase copies of any new printings, either hardcover (preferred) or softcover. Accolades, again, go out to Chris for all his great work.

Hi Ladies! I'm posting for a friend who just found out she's pregnant with her 3rd baby. She's interested in a VBA2C and I know that she'll need to switch to a doctor who is supportive of VBAC to make that happen. Does anyone recommend any doctors in dayton who would could help her with this?
married to my best friend, britt, since 8.12.2004 ...homeschooling mama to my girls: avi born 8.3.05, my ryan leanor 1.5.08, azia 9.2.09, and #4 a BOY! due in november 2011.
AFAIK, Dr. Horlacher and Dr. Guy both do VBAMC. I personally know a mama who has had 2 VBACs after 2 c/s who sees Dr. Horlacher. While I love my OB (who is very supportive of VBAC), she personally isn't 100% behind VBAMC, so I can't recommend her in this situation.
8g, 7g, 4b, 2g
If she doesn't have luck in Dayton, Dr. Mark Landon at Ohio State will support VBAmC.
Married mom to Patrick (2004), Noah (2006) and Liam (2010) VBAC!!

text: I figured I start this thread because I've had a few but today took the cake. I'd like to hear of everybody's as well. I'm not talking about that car that cut you off and you smoked the tires moments but the real true pucker moment in your career. The one you will never forget. Here is mine. Today I had to deliver a 9K JLG 45' shooting boom forklift. The machine weight is roughly 24-25K. I took it to downtown where they are building a new hotel for the new Horseshoe Casino they just opened here. The site did have three entry points but they are raising beams into place with heavy cranes so two of them are blocked. The only entrance is down a gravel slope of about 2%. It rained here last night. The gravel was wet. I turned into the place to find another semi unloading windows in the entrance. Son of a beech! The customer meets me and says " We are going to have to unload here, you won't be able to get in." I was hesitant but said whatever. So, I set my tractor brakes, engage the PTO, throw a chock in front of my front drive. I begin to slid my wheels forward on the Landoll. Now mind you the JLG is backed on with the counter weight facing the cab of my truck, which is pointed downhill, on wet gravel. I balance my weight on the wagon and start to raise the deck when the truck starts sliding. Not just a ehh, it moved, but rather a holy f*#king **** this is bad news! My initial reaction was to reverse the process that started the forward momentum but didn't have time seeing how it was just about to jump the chock. I hopped into the cab and set the trailer brakes as it jumped the chock. The whole truck slid about a good ten feet. Had I not stopped it, it would have made news because people would have been hurt. Needless to say, I waited for the semi to unload his windows and proceeded to flat, and level ground to unload. I won't ever make that mistake again! What mistake you ask? The mistake of being impatient and rushing so I can get done and go home. Puckered me up so tight I won't crap for days. Here is a link of the same forklift I was referring to. http://www.jlg.com/en-US/Model.html...&ModelId=cd5d5b2f-b2df-4e3a-b431-1d6c64f3aee4 By the way, I wish every construction site looked like the one on the web page. I have yet to see a site all clean and open like that!
