We're super excited for Single Ladies, VH1's new movie and scripted series that debuts TONIGHT at 8 p.m. ET/PT. We were lucky enough to visit the set to catch a full day of shooting, and chatted with the cast and crew about why viewers should make sure and tune-in tonight (as if Executive Producer Queen Latifah and guest appearances by Eve, Common, Chilli and Kim Porter aren't enough of a reason).
We hung out with Stacey Dash (stunning), Lauren London (adorable), LisaRaye McCoy (gorg), Charity Shea (so pretty) and Timon Durrett (our future baby-daddy) about their work on the movie/series, and they convinced us in 0.2 seconds to glue ourselves to the television and set a season pass for the show on our DVR. As LisaRaye says, Single Ladies is "the female bonding movie that you can also sit down and have your man watch with you." Uh, we're sold.
Check out their answers and their hotness (seriously guys, they are all so hot) above.

Huntington celebrates title teams
HUNTINGTON --Huntington's champions were challenged by someone who knows something about championships.
Former Marshall University and New England Patriots wide receiver Troy Brown was the featured speaker Thursday at Huntington's Parade of Champions, which honored the city's 10 teams that won county or state championships or gained national recognition in 2013 or 2014.
Brown challenged members of those title-winning squads to use their talents for more than athletics.
"The word 'champion' comes with a lot of responsibility," said Brown, a three-time Super Bowl champion. "A champion stands up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Be a champion not just on the field, on the court or in the ring, but in the classroom and the community. Work hard at everything you do. As a champion, you know how to win. Now, apply it to your lives."
The crowd applauded Brown as he spoke on the plaza in front of the Big Sandy Superstore Arena, the end point of the parade, which stretched from 13th Street down 4th Avenue and across 3rd Avenue to its destination as the athletes threw candy to the crowd. Nine of the 10 teams honored attended. Huntington High School's girls tennis team was playing a match and couldn't be there.
Honored teams were Huntington St. Joe Prep basketball, which placed third nationally; state champion Huntington High boys basketball and wrestling; state champion Huntington St. Joe girls basketball; Cabell County champion Huntington Middle School football and boys basketball, Huntington East Middle School wrestling and girls basketball; and Wayne County champion Vinson Middle School boys basketball.
"Huntington is title town because of you," Mayor Steve Williams told the crowd.
"It's great to be recognized, for the kids to be recognized," Huntington High boys basketball coach Ron Hess said. "Our athletic director, Mr. (Bruce) Senior does a good job keeping us all together rooting for one another. We encourage our kids to play more than one sport."
Highlanders wrestling coach Robbie Archer said his state title team was cheering for Hess' basketball squad and congratulated the other nine champions.
"I think it's wonderful," Archer said of the parade. "Look at the smiles. For a town our size to have 10 champions is incredible. For the mayor to shut down the town for the kids is very special."
Huntington St. Joe's girls have won six consecutive state titles under coach Shannon Lewis. He said he was thrilled to see not just his players being honored but many other kids he knew.
"This is a great thing the mayor is doing," Lewis said. "I'm very appreciative. Any recognition the kids can get is good."
The kids agreed. Jadon Hayes, the most valuable player of Huntington Middle's football team, beamed with pride.
"We won two championships, football and basketball," Hayes said. "Nobody is as good as us. Our city is known for its champions."
Braxton Johnson of Huntington East Middle's wrestling team said he felt his first-year team could accomplish something special. Huntington East is the consolidation of Beverly Hill and Enslow and is in its first season.
"We all wanted to win it," Johnson said of the county title. "We set that as our goal."
Huntington East Middle's girls basketball team gave coach Donnie Lucas his 29th championship during an illustrious coaching career. Players Mackenzie Grier, Jade Fleeman and Jill Cunningham took turns saying how excited they were to be honored in a parade for all to see after finishing the season 18-1. They carried a banner with the letters "B.I.C."
"At the beginning of the year, that stood for Babes in Cradle," Lucas said, referring to his young team. "By the end of the year, it meant Best in County."
Vinson basketball player Trey Maynard said he wasn't surprised by the success of his team.
"Not really," Maynard said. "Not at all. We played as a team."
Huntington Prep features players from throughout the nation, including Josh Perkins of Aurora, Colo. Perkins has signed to play college ball at Gonzaga. He said he was very appreciative of how the people of Huntington have embraced him and his teammates.
"It's nice that they're honoring us," Perkins said. "We want to congratulate all the other champions here. We're happy to be a part of this."

Women's Ashes star Sarah Taylor gets stuck in at Cokenach
Posted: May 02, 2014|
Cokenach have pulled off a coup by recruiting England's Sarah Taylor to be the club's first cricket ambassador.
The international wicketkeeper/batsman attended the club's first junior training session last Sunday, and the Women's Ashes star will return on a number of showcase occasions throughout the season to offer coaching support.
"We are delighted that Sarah has opened our season in great style," said Cokenach president Nick Eve.
"She is an exceptional player and it will be wonderful for our players to benefit from her knowledge and experience.
"She will undoubtedly be inspirational for the club as a whole and will have a massive impact on our players.
"Our fantastic new facility is the perfect place for Sarah to help promote all forms of cricket and help to deliver our vision, especially championing the creation of a women's XI.
"These are exciting times for Cokenach Cricket Club."
Cokenach's two senior teams were both promoted last summer, with the first team now plying their trade in the Mr Cricket CCA Senior League.

Huawei has issued their followup to the Ascend P1, the phone the kicked off the Chinese manufacturer's transition to the high-end smartphone market. The phone features the most refined design of the company's top tier handsets — it's not quite as large as the the Ascend Mate or Ascend D2, making it Huawei's most approachable device for consumers look for plenty of power in a slimmer package.
Just like the P1 (and the P1 S), the P2 puts a focus on a slim build, measuring in at 8.4mm thick. It's not the most svelte smartphone on the planet, but it will do just fine in your skinny jeans. A 4.7-inch display runs at a 720p resolution, while the phone is powered by Huawei's in-house quad-core K3V2 CPU clocked at 1.5GHz. Icing on the cake comes in the form of a 13MP rear camera and 2420 mAh battery.
The Ascend P2 is a definitive step up from the P1, but does feel a bit iterative. The specs are improved but at first glance Huawei hasn't put a totally fresh spin on the device. The plan is to launch the phone a bit later this year in China and other markets. Plans for the US have not been made at this time.

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 102 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jackie32 I Love It!! This Denali fleece hoodie is awesome! Here are the highlights: 1. Very soft and comfortable. 2. Very warm even in temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. The hood comes in handy for when it's raining, snowing, or windy. This is important because the rain/snow/wind won't mess up your hair when I'm going out to a restaurant or running errands with my friends. 4. Lot's of pockets for storing keys, lip gloss, etc. 5. Looks great (I got black on black). Side note. The North Face jackets typically run a bit small, so definitely go up a size, especially if you usually wear a sweater or sweatshirt with your coat when it gets cold out. Also, it helps to go up a size if you've been blessed with above average-sized breasts like me LOL. January 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Always cold Great jacket Very nice jacket. Very warm. October 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Liz555 I love this hoodie!! Its perfect for autumn and winter! The material is soft and comfortable. Extremely durable and long lasting for any wear and tear weather. Looks great and goes with any outfit! I love the multiple zip pockets, lets me store a whole bunch of things without having to carry a purse. Great purchase! October 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nikkio North Face Hooded Denali Great lightweight jacket. Comfortable, warm and water resistant, just a bit on the pricey side. March 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mare I LOVE THIS JACKET I love this jacket, its so warm, I walk all winter on a trail and am never cold with this jacket on February 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mario52 Great The product was great. And excellent customer service. November 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nana Very Warm and Comfortable This is my second jacket, only needed to buy this one for the color, The material last a long time, I've had my first jacket over 5 years and it still looks good and is warm. I love this jacket. October 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mikki25 Great Buy I am very please with the jacket. The hood is perfect when you get caught in the snow. I love it, i wear it almost everyday. January 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by jesslessthan3 Nothing compares. An overall great brand, this is my second North Face purchase and it's worth every penny! Yes, the brand tends to be pricier than some alternatives, but nothing compares to the quality. I've had my first NF jacket for nearly 3 years, I wear it for all seasons and it's been through the ringer. Wears well, washes well. I expect the same from this jacket - lucky enough to snag it on clearance and it's a little heavier so I'm going to use it this fall/winter. Great quality! May 22, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by gr8t2bhere "Typical" North Face Like many, many people I have a North Face Denali jacket that has been great but I always wished it had a hood as I'm not a hat person. So I was thrilled to see they finally made one with a hood. Hood is good - doesn't fall into you eyes like other coats do. Only complaint is I wish it was a little longer since the tunic sweaters are in and I hate having it hang below. The color in the Dicks online website is very misleading and not like the actual colors. I couldn't find these in any of the Dicks' stores to verify color either so I had to take my chances or do a return. Everyone is wearing North Face which would normally turn me off but the quality is good and that is hard to ignore. It is pricey but I caught a Dick's online special so that eased the pain a little.

What do you think - Pitcher Perfect.
Hey everyone.
I'm starting a business called Pitcher Perfect, yes I know 'pitcher' is spelled different, it's my last name (:
They are drawings done on photoshop by me - so feel free to check it out! (:
http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10150393648106524&id=5269 16523&ref=notif¬if_t=feed_comment#!/profile.php?id=100003265566611&sk=info
Let me know what you think!
oh and I put it in pictures, cause they are kinda pictures! d:
I think you should offer actual prints for an extra fee--some people may not know how to go about ordering them, and the thought of a computer-only image may not appeal.
And you need to make your browband thingy an actual business site and not a "person"--no one can see anything without friending the account.
But nice work.
yeah the browband thing isn't mine, is my friends, we are advertising on each others page, but thanks! (:
And I will put the print prices up (:

Ugh...since my iPhone is so critical for my business needs, tethered is still too much of a pain for me to deal with.
Hope an untethered JB arrives once 5.0 releases!
Untethered jailbreak may be fully patched in iOS 5
Prominent iPhone hacker i0n1c revealed in a tweet yesterday that the untethered jailbreak he created has been fixed in iOS 5.
R.I.P. – I just heard Apple killed the ndrv_setspec() integeroverflow and his friends in iOS 5.0b1 – if this is true the untether is dead
It was discovered yesterday that the tethered jailbreak in limera1n worked perfectly in iOS 5 with Cydia running smoothly, but for those hoping the untether from i0n1c would work, it looks like those dreams have been put to rest.
This doesn't mean another untethered jailbreak won't be discovered, although the jailbreak community most likely wouldn't release it until the iPhone 5 is available to prevent Apple from finding the exploit and patching it at the hardware level.
Would you be open to using a tethered jailbreak with iOS 5 or would you stick with iOS 4 until an untethered jailbreak is available?

Untethered jailbreak may be fully patched in iOS 5
Ugh...since my iPhone is so critical for my business needs, tethered is still too much of a pain for me to deal with.
You are a douchebag !
if it has to be tethered to be jailbroken...not a good sign for a lot of jailbreakers! To much hassle! But the JB community is pretty awesome, I'm sure they will find something eventually!
i rather stay on iOS 4 then go to iOS 5 and lost untethered jb.
I find it ironic that Apple poaches ideas from the JB community and hires jailbreak developers all while adamantly trying to make jailbreaking non-existent.
You must have failed 9th grade English; irony: incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.
I'm not going to go into the specifics but trust me, it works.
it's a bad thing for Apple to implement the best ideas no matter where they come from at the same time they attempt to secure their device from hackers?
you'd be more up in arms if you had a rootkit loaded on your PC. which is basically what jailbreaking does.
No one is up in arms, dood. Chill the F out.
I gotta say it might be a lot of things. But it's not ironic.
Douchebaggery, yes. Ironic, no.
I think apple has done right in hiring the lockinfo guy (his name escapes me). And hopefully this becomes a trend; hire the JB developers who come out with the best tweaks. Plus with iOS 5, they implemented a ton of JB features, such as a dedicated camera button, wifi sync, lockinfo, APIs for usage of the LED, ect. Who knows if they ripped off, excuse me, reverse engineered some of the code from the JB community. And in fact, they ARE trying to make JB nonexistent, or rather, the NEED for a JB. And if you think about it, or research it, apple hasn't patched the unnamed exploit yet, so really, how are they trying to kill it? I think they are giving up on trying to patch every little exploit that the JB'ers come up with and that's why we will now have ota software updates.
I'm not trying to be a dbag, I'm just trying to help you understand there is
They can't patch the exploit as it's a bootrom exploit, that will be there in every ios until they bring out the new hardware but tbh I don't get why they would try to do away with jailbreaking, who will they get their ideas from for future firmwares without the devs in the jailbreak scene lol but I honestly can't see it stopping, it's been evident in every ios so far so to assume they can magically secure their ios from jailbreaking now isn't plausable.
Hopefully by the time the final ios 5 is released we won't have to wait long for a jailbreak solution, untethered of course.
any jailbreak would do for me as I use many jb features consistently. Since I'm on the beta now...a jb made available now would be perfect!!!
You can hardly blame Apple for wanting to close the exploits that JB uses ... by definition you're causing the OS to do something outside its defined boundaries so more in the of the JB's that could be done on a website thats pretty bad and could cause hacking issues for Apple.
I also thought the JB teams had the SH4tter exploit which they'd never used yet as their fall-back exploit.
I'm sure assuming the hackers maintain the will to do the extreme amounts of code mining it takes to find exploits they will produce a new one ... just might be that long wait like it has before.
I for one aren't bothered Apple steals JB solutions .... i think its smart to hire the likes of the MobileNotifier dev ... since he's worked on the non-public API's and done a deep-level integration into the OS he's ideal to port that into the official framework more than iOS AppStore dev's ... makes perfect sense to me
@Jamie agreed. not only that, it's an exploit! malicious hackers can use this as well to gain access to our precious information. i stopped JBing when the i4 came out because JBing brought a lot of issues on my 3GS and other devices.
Also... Apple has to do this. They want to protect their devs that only have their app in the app store. Also protecting carriers (I know y'all hate this) as this gives people the option to bypass the tethering plans at&t offers.
I have no beef with Apple for patching it and not because I don't JB.
Who cares, Stock iOS has come such a long way there is no need to jailbreak. Get a life and move on. Let the slaming begin :)
Maybe if spell "slamming" right, then we will proceed with the aforementioned action
i wouldn't care if the jailbreak disappeared. I'm happy with the stock features.
Stock would be ok if you could modify things within PrivateFrameworks and Springboard app without jailbreaking, the main thing I jailbreak for is springtomize and that's only because i'm super anal about not having my networks name plastered in the status bar lol, it would be nice if apple allowed you to disable status bar icons from within the ios.
I have gone Team Pure recently and I must say that I will probably not go back to JB. At least not after iOS 5. Having been running on iOS 5 for the last 2 days. It's amazing. It provides me with all the features of LockInfo that I needed. I am able to have, almost, all the same apps and functions (although I had to cough up a couple of dollars) that I did with JB. There are only 2 things that I will miss by not being JB. 1- My3G :) No more facetime outside a wifi zone. 2- Themes. I wish Apple would allow for sometime of icon skins cause the stock icons are just not "magical" enough for me. But there are plenty of upsides. 1- Battery last much longer. 2- No random crashes or freezing. 3- OS runs much smoother and faster. 4- Can take advantage of the latest updates. 5- Can take advantage of customer service if I have issues. (I would hate to go in for anything, and thus didn't as it required me to un-JB and then re-JB)
So I can live without My3G. But I do hope that Apple will eventually (sooner then later would be nice) allow for skinning the app icons. But it's team pure from here out.
BiteSMS is nice but not necessary to me as I'm not a heavy texter. I do like it, heck I even paid for it because I hate ads, but it's not a deal breaker for me. On the other hand, people I know who text a whole lot would probably not want to be without it. I could even probably live without iBlacklist though manually dismissing calls would be a hassle, but SBSettings is a must! I travel out of 3G coverage daily and I hate digging through menus!
JB Community isn't going to spoil their work before new iPhone released with final iOS 5. That is for sure. We must consider the fact that if it's harder to hack the iOS, the more JB team will had fun with it. Especialy when they success on finding that hole. It's just a game as long it's not a crime.
Team pure from here on out. My phone is running iOS 5 now and it provides all of the features I need. :)
With iOS 5 I don't need jb any longer - what I want is carrier unlock to avoid AT&T's outrageous pricing when I travel overseas.
@joe_taku & @allison
Most jailbreak methods require a tether (USB connection to computer) initially to install the software and apply the jailbreak. A tethered jailbreak requires this connection each time the device reboots, while an untethered jb only requires it initially. An untethered device will not boot without the USB connection. Cloud activation and sync are features unrelated to untethered/tethered jb.
ota updates dor ios will be the end of jailbreak for ios devices.. it will be much easier for apple to updte their devices due to the limited number of hardware they need to address.. whats to stop apple from outting out fixes the day after a jailbreak is discovered.. not to mention update their already seen jailbreak detection methods.. resistance is futile..
So far, I am having less and less reasons to JB. Used to be Jailbroken because my carrier did not offer Personal Hotspot. They began offering last week, so I have no reason to keep my iPhone Jailbroken. I am back to #TeamPure unless the community gives me a compelling reason to go back to JB.
I haven't decided yet, there are things i would miss from my Jailbreak (SB Settings, Bite SMS, My Wi, 3G unrestrictor)But I don't know if i would be patient enough to wait to update. I would probably update and then re jailbreak once a untethered comes along again, By then most of the Cydia Packages would hopefully be updated to actually work on iOS 5.
Tethered jailbreak has been released for ios5 now!
Considering I updated from iOS 4.1 only last week, I won't have a problem waiting for an untethered Jailbreak.
Stock ios 5. i dont do tethered.
its not fully patched, pod2g just tweeted that him and the chronic dev team r working on an untether for it http://www.kittyra1n.com/jailbreak-5.0-ios-iphone-4-3gs-ipod-touch-4g-3g...
No jailbreak = No update to IOS 5 , i will stick with IOS4 until such time as a jailbreak is released, Apple are a fantastic company with fantastic iconic products but they need to give there customers the freedom to fully utilize their devices, not everyone wants jailbreaks for unethical reasons....
In the long term unless they understand the value the jailbreaking community has added to their business in terms of Units sold that would otherwise not have been, they will be handing customers over to the android community as each release of android improves.
I have used Iphone since the Iphone 1 was released and as long as i am able to Jailbreak will continue to use Iphone 4, 5 or 100 but if they dont relalize our value Android handsets are getting better all the time, Apple please wake up you are no longer the only Kid on the block.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the third generation ipad! Now to see how long it will take to be offered on Amazon so I can use my gift card balance to buy it! can I wait that long?
Nice camera I would love to have one.

Middle Tennessee State had to deal with its 24-6 loss to Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl on Monday.
Afterward, the Blue Raiders were left to defend their style of play, which was portrayed as perhaps dirty by ESPN during its national broadcast.
Specifically, attention was turned toward senior linebacker Rod Blunt, who was ejected early in the fourth quarter after his second unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty. He was shown multiple times by ESPN exhibiting questionable conduct toward Navy players, including what appeared to be an attempt to poke or gouge the eyes of Navy quarterback Keenan ...

Overall, this week struck a nice balance between lighthearted fun and serious drama and definitely focused on my favorite characters and qualities this week. However, there were a few trouble spots for me as well.
Here's the breakdown:
Thank God Owen has Jackie to help him blow off steam because Bridget is a huge tease! I guess it all worked out though for them since Bridget and Nick got back together and Owen realized he really wants to be with Jackie, but that's not at all how I wanted this story to play out. What happened to Owen wanting to have a future with Bridget? That was just last week! And Nick and Bridget again? Come on we've been down this road twice already. I really thought Owen and Bridget were the end game, or maybe that was just wishful thinking.
One thing I am completely happy with is that Bill is definitely shaking things up for the better on B&B! Even though he's a bit despicable, I am loving the new energy and dynamic he is creating. His running into Katie drunk at the bar was fantastic. She was fun and he was sexy and I wouldn't mind a pairing here, however, I think Bill has other fish to fry before he settles on one lady. If he ever does! One thing I know for sure, I will enjoy whatever ride he takes us on.
While we're on the subject of Katie, I was happy that she took it upon herself to end things with Nick because she saw the writing on the wall, instead of her walking in on Nick with Bridget or having him break it off with her. It showed her in a strong independent light, something that's been lacking from her character lately. Also, her going to the bar to get drunk was pretty funny and relatable and it was good to see her in a lighthearted scene.
We got some Brooke/Ridge/Taylor/Rick/Steffy scenes this week, but that story hasn't been as prominent lately, which I think is a good thing. It's too much of a downer and it's been too drawn out and I find I'm bored when they are on, wishing I could see more of Owen or Bill instead. I can only imagine how fun it will be when Rick Hearst comes back as Whip! Three new (or fairly new in Owen's case) hot guys shaking things up? Bring it on!
Even though I'm a bit tired of the Steffy/Rick storyline, I do have two comments about it. I cannot believe Steffy would forgive him just because he made a cheesy DVD. He said vile things about her and her father and I would not be able to turn the other cheek so quickly. Have some self-respect! That said, Ridge and Brooke are acting like these two are in high school or something. Steffy and Rick are adults; they can make their own choices and see whomever they want to see. Deal with it.
Here's my last thought: After Katie threw up in Bill's bathroom and messed up her clothes, Donna wanted to give her sister her shirt and she would wear Katie's coat home. This was obviously just a way for Donna to have to change in front of Bill, thereby creating more sexual tension. Even though she didn't end up doing it, it just didn't make any sense. Why couldn't Katie have just worn her own jacket and Donna could keep her shirt on? It's not a big deal, but I thought it was a ridiculously obvious contrivance.
A few issues aside, I am looking forward to a fun summer with these storylines and hope they don't disappoint!
So that's it for me. What did you think about the week's events? Share your thoughts with Soaps.com below.

1 sheet
Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry
1 tablespoon
4 (1 ounce) squares
semi-sweet chocolate
2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
butter or margarine
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
Confectioners' sugar
I would give this six stars if I could! It was simple to make, impressive to serve, and scrumptious to eat. Ingredients easy to find, directions easy to follow. I even made it at my house and drove it across town and put it in the oven there. Everyone loved it, including some very good cooks. It made 6 big servings, could easily make 8, or even 10 if following a heavy meal. I used a serrated knife in a sawing motion to cut the strudel, and it stayed intact instead of squashing. The only thing I did differently was to add a little sugar, because the "bittersweet" 60% chocolate I bought was more bitter than sweet. So I sprinkled on about 3 Tbsp powdered sugar after I spread the chocolate on the pastry dough, just before the nuts. Then it was just right for eaters aged 14 to 70 on New Year's Day.
I gave it 4 stars even though mine didn't come out that great. It tasted good but, I melted my chocolate too much so it melted the dough a little. only melt chocolate slightly and mix till it's gooey. roll it out on the the tray you'll use in the oven b/c transferring it while rolled is a bit tricky. :)

Easy and a great hit at quilt away weekend 2008
This was awesome! I did not need to cook it nearly as long as suggested, so mine came out a little too crisp but everyone loved it. Next time I will just put it in for less time or add foil to the top so it doesn't get too crisp.
Yum! I served this for a luncheon with friends. I wish I would have made two. One comment was that it tasted like fudge wrapped in pastry.
This was very easy to make and took no time at all. I doubled the walnuts and was glad I did. This was very ordinary.
Very easy recipe, easy to make, I liked it just okay because I thought it was a bit too messy. If I try it again I will use less chocolate to see if that makes a difference.
This turned out as it says it will. It was well received by my husband and daughter, but my son and I didn't care for it. It is extremely fudgy, and you almost can't taste the dough at all.

A thin body, easy-to-play acoustic-electric with USB connectivity.
If you're on the move and still love to groove, the short scale AEG240 is an excellent choice with its 60/70mm body depth and single cutaway design, making it easier to play than larger, deeper models and more feedback resistant. On its own, with its mahogany body, sides and neck as well as a rosewood fingerboard, the AEG240 is a rock-solid acoustic that'll provide years of entertainment.
It also comes with a Fishman Sonicore pickup and preamp with rotary volume and tone controls to help you shape and ampliy your sound in live situations. But what really separates this guitar from other acoustic-electrics out there is a USB connection which allows you to record straight to your computer recording program with string-to-string clarity. This brings a whole new meaning to the term plug-and-play. Case sold separately.

Miracle Subway Baby Adopted by Couple Who Found Him
The story of how Danny became a father is the perfect example of why women should always trust their intuition.
Years ago, Danny found an abandoned baby on the subway and immediately called 911. After a while, he called his boyfriend, Peter, who raced to meet up with him and the baby since the police never showed.
Fast forward to three months later, when Danny and Peter attended family court and the judge asked Danny, "Would you be interested in adopting this baby?" At the time, Danny was living with his broke boyfriend and a roommate. But he took the plunge anyway. Twelve years later, Peter and Danny were married by the same judge who had the foresight to give the loving couple a son, and Peter wrote about their adoption experience for The New York Times.
When Peter asked the judge why she had asked Danny to adopt the child, she said, "I had a hunch. Was I wrong?" Obviously not!
We can't help but tear up a bit at the lovely morals of this story. The judge took a chance on a man that she just simply felt would step up as a father to the baby he had found and refused to abandon, therefore creating a family that is clearly committed to each other over a decade later. She also gave a child a chance at a family, rather than casting him into foster care, as so many children in the United States are each year.
It's a story of hope and faith — the judge trusted Danny and Peter, and she surely made the right choice!

Step 2: Get some edible fruit. These are huckleberries.
Step 4: The cheesecloth helps with the draining.
Step 5: A funnel and two packets of yeast are needed.
Step 7: Clean the berries.
Step 8: You will need four cups of cleaned berries.
Step 10: Smash the berries.
Step 11: The berries should be smashed until they look like this.
Step 12: I had to pour the berries into a bigger bowl.
Step 13: Pour the sugar onto the berries.
Step 14: Pour six cups of boiling water onto the sugar and fruit pile. Stir.
Step 15: Cover the mixture with the cheesecloth. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 16: Pour the cooled mixture into the jug.
Step 17: Now pour the yeast packets (2) into the jug.
Step 18: Use the jug's lid, and shake up the berry, sugar, water, and yeast mixture
Step 19: Install the balloon.
Step 20: Use the cheesecloth and strainer to catch the seeds, skins, and parts you do not want to drink.
to any one out there after draining the fruit into a bottle for the second fermentaion process , do i just wait for it stop producing bubbles to drink? (im making plum wine)
Quick question, I have some blueberries that have already started to ferment a bit. Can I use those or should i just toss em?
How long does it take sediment to sink?
This varies widely depending on what you made your wine from. Some fruite have more particulates than others, and sometimes the sediment has minimal density and remains suspended, this can last for days, weeks...dare I say months?! Your best bet is to use a bentonite clay mixture (available at your local u-brew store!) which will bind to the particles and sink them. From here you should rack your wine (possible twice) and you've got yourself clear wine.
Your method of attaching your balloon using twist ties is troublesome. The idea behind the balloon (read: airlock) is to allow gasses to escape while keeping foreign air out, it should be a one way system. By using twist ties you are not ensuring a good seal and run the risk of bacteria infecting your batch (I've seen it happen, and it's gross).
If you want the balloon route try attaching it using rubber bands, then use a pin to poke one very tiny hole at the top. this should work for you.
Hope this helps. How did the batch turn out?
One last word of encouragement:
I have yet to meet a brewmaster that has gotten it right from the first batch. I'm a seasoned brewer and I still make the odd batch that turns out wonky (though usually an experimental batch).
We learn from making mistakes, and I would take 10 bunk batches to make 1 unique batch of something I am really proud of.
Another though it to keep a log book detailing the date and process you took for each batch, that way you can avoid mistakes the next time.
Good luck russ!
this is a common myth. go to the liquor store, about 1/4 of all the bottles will be plastic. particularly the cheap vodkas. as long as it is food grade plastic there *should* be no problem.
The scratch thing is another debatable item. i use milk jugs and food grade 5gal buckets. Being a bichem/biophysics major, i know that it is a Possible place to harbor bacteria, but in practice i have never had a bad batch. i don't use sanitizer either, i use hot water ~180*F for the containers and boil the implements and all small components...
163.4*F is the temp that most things are pasteurized at. technically it denatures the enzymes in the bacteria killing them.
"2) The yeast" that off flavor is the same as the off flavor of cheap vodka/tequilla diacetyl. pitching the yeast while warm will release more diacetyl in the early stages than the yeast can reabsorb during the secondary stage
You might try putting it in the sun, adding a little sugar and yeast. You may want to buy new yeast in case yours is just not working enough. Also, I shake mine up to get it working when I add stuff.
Good Luck,
Thanks in advance for any assistance u can give...

Aide recalls final trip to District 5 with Paul GillmorWritten by Justin R. Kalmes | | firstname.lastname@example.com
U.S. Rep. Paul E. Gillmor spent his final days doing what he loved most about his job as a public servant — visiting the district he represented and meeting his constituents.
"It was good for him that he had that week out in the district and that he had been so active in the way that he always was," said Bradley Mascho, Gillmor's communications director since 2004. "He was always this type of congressman. He didn't hole himself up in his office.
"It was good he did that the last week because that's what people remembered when they found out he passed away," he said. "So many people called and said, 'He was just here.'
"It meant a lot that he had been out there in the district in all 16 counties. Personally, it meant a lot for me to have been there with him."
In an exclusive interview with Toledo Free Press, Mascho, 27, talked about Gillmor's final trip to the 5th District before his Sept. 5 death at age 68, his time working for the congressman and the friendship that developed between them.
On the road again
The trip began Aug. 26 when Mascho flew into Columbus from Washington, D.C., to meet Gillmor and prepare for their trip the next morning to Mercer County. The men met for dinner that night and caught up because Gillmor had spent most of August with his family in Ohio while Congress was on recess.
"It was nice," Mascho said. "We hadn't seen each other in two weeks."
In between a 7:30 a.m. breakfast, a town meeting in Paulding County and a luncheon with the Defiance Rotary Club that Monday, Mascho and Gillmor learned of Alberto Gonzales' resignation from his post as U.S. attorney general. That was good news for Gillmor, Mascho said, because he was the first Republican in the House of Representatives to call for Gonzales to resign.
"He was pleased. That was what he had called for all along," Mascho said. "He thought it was the best situation for the president and the Justice Department. He thought the attorney general was not effective and that it would be best for everyone if he were to resign."
Gillmor had to address another sensitive news item Aug. 30 when he visited two Toledo television stations for interviews. While on the air, Gillmor was asked if Idaho Republican Larry Craig should resign from his Senate seat because of Craig's guilty plea to disorderly conduct charges after he was arrested for lewd conduct in a Minnesota airport. Gillmor said Craig should resign.
"That was not an easy decision for him. He wasn't a flamethrower of a congressman. He didn't like to hurt people by any means," Mascho said.
Not all the news was as serious during the trip. Mascho said he and Gillmor had a good laugh about the media coverage devoted to the story that Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner left his dog, Scout, in a parked car on a hot day.
"The congressman was still kind of perplexed about why the mayor did it and why it was such a hot topic," Mascho said.
That type of lighthearted conversation often dominated the many hours Mascho and Gillmor spent in the car together driving throughout the vast 5th District, which comprises most of Northwest Ohio. Rather than focusing their discussions on strategy and initiatives, the men would often exchange jokes to pass the time between stops.
Some may have remembered Gillmor for being a political-joke aficionado, but it was clean family-oriented humor the congressman gravitated toward, Mascho said.
"I was telling him this Hillary Clinton joke that had been e-mailed to me," Mascho recalled. "He kind of enjoyed a Clinton joke, but his favorite jokes were jokes he could tell his kids.
"The political jokes weren't really him," he said. "If you could give him a joke that he could make his kids laugh, you were set for life with him. That was the best treat."
Whether it was discussing news or a new joke, the mood was never tense between Gillmor and Mascho on those road trips, Mascho said.
"There were times where we would drive for an hour and just talk about nothing," he said.
"We'd talk about what we were listening to on the radio. … There were times we didn't talk at all, but it was never uncomfortable."
"I truly mean that he was both my boss and my friend," Mascho continued. "I don't think you can spend that much time in a car with a person and not like them."
The mentor
Gillmor also served as a mentor to Mascho. One such instance occurred in early August after Republicans walked out of the House en masse to protest Democrats' handling of a vote on an agriculture spending bill. The next day, Mascho checked the vote totals. To his surprise, Gillmor was one of 15 Republicans who stayed on the floor to vote. Puzzled, Mascho asked how that move would sit with party leadership.
"He was very serious," Mascho said. "He said, 'Walking off the floor would have gotten us nowhere.' And it did. We lost that vote.
"He said, 'The only way you win is you stay there and have a civil discussion. We may not have agreed, but we shouldn't have walked off the floor.' "
Though a Republican through and through, Gillmor was known for his ability to accomplish goals in a bipartisan manner. When Democrats regained control of the House and the Senate last year, many Republican legislators considered retirement because they felt they couldn't achieve their goals in the minority, Mascho said.
"Congressman Gillmor never felt that," he said. "He was just as effective now as he was at this time last year."
In addition to being in the minority party, there was another downfall for Gillmor when Democrats took control of Congress — five-day sessions. Republicans, Mascho said, would work three 12-hour sessions when they were in power.
"Not that he minded working five days a week, but they weren't really working," Mascho said. "He used to joke and say, 'We're taking two days of work and stretching it into five days.' "
While some longtime Republican congressmen were talking retirement, Gillmor was talking about running for re-election. Mascho said he and Gillmor were discussing when the congressman would announce his 10th re-election bid.
"He had no intention of retiring," Mascho said. "He was moving full speed ahead."
One of the Gillmor's most memorable characteristics was his willingness to include others in the special moments that came up through his position, Mascho said. Mascho was the beneficiary of that generosity on several occasions, he said, but it was two such instances that stood out most in his mind.
Gillmor gave Mascho a ticket to the 2005 State of the Union address. Members of Congress are each given only one ticket for the event, Mascho said.
"What a thrill. I was the only one [from Gillmor's office] to go over and do that," he said. "I've still got the ticket."
The other occasion occurred about three months ago. Every summer the president invites members of Congress and their spouses to a picnic that takes place on the White House lawn. Because Gillmor's wife, Karen, was unable to attend the event this year, she suggested her husband take Mascho.
Gillmor warned Mascho not to be disappointed if President Bush was not at the event. That warning went for naught a few minutes after the men arrived at the White House when Mascho spotted the president.
With digital camera in hand, Mascho joined a crowd around the president and waited to ask him for a picture. Gillmor, who was only experienced at using disposable cameras, offered to take the picture.
"Push your way up. Push your way up," Gillmor instructed Mascho.
"He didn't think it would be rude to push his way up," Mascho said.
Finally, the president turned Mascho's way and asked him where his camera was. Mascho pointed back to Gillmor.
"Gillmor!" President Bush replied. "Hey, how do you know this guy?"
"He's my press guy," Gillmor said in his high-pitched tone. "He keeps me famous."
"That was just a typical example of Paul Gillmor not worried about himself and just letting other people share in his experiences," Mascho said.
'Something was wrong'
Near the end of their trip to the district, Mascho said he and Gillmor talked about their plans for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. Mascho was going to meet family in Port Clinton while Gillmor was looking forward to spending time with his family in Put-in-Bay.
The men returned to Washington, D.C., after the long weekend. Gillmor had a 9:15 a.m. meeting with his staff Sept. 5 and then a 10:30 a.m. meeting with the Financial Services Committee. It wasn't odd for him to miss the staff meeting, Mascho said, because he often would run errands after he returned to his Virginia townhouse after recess. When he didn't show up for the committee meeting, Mascho and Gillmor's chief of staff, Mark Wellman, became concerned.
After not receiving responses to phone calls and e-mails, Mascho and Wellman decided to drive to Gillmor's home to check on him.
"We knew that if his car was away from the house, he was running errands or out at the post office," Mascho said.
To their dismay, the car remained parked in Gillmor's driveway.
"We knew something was wrong and immediately knew there was a problem," Mascho said.
Wellman entered the townhouse with a spare key and immediately stepped out and informed Mascho of the situation. They found Gillmor's body near the steps leading to the second floor. After calling emergency personnel and being released from the scene by police, Mascho returned to Gillmor's office to inform the staff of the tragic news.
"It was pretty rough," Mascho said. "People were still all in tears. There were a lot of former staffers that had come into the office and were still here."
U.S. Rep. Dave Hobson, R-Ohio, called the office and instructed the staff to go over to the House floor — a rare occurrence because most staffers cannot set foot there, Mascho said.
As members of Congress read statements in Gillmor's honor, the congressman's staff members stood somberly along a railing near the back of the House floor.
"For some of the people that had been [at the office] all day, it was pretty touching," Mascho said. "For me personally, it was the hardest point that I had had all day because it was the quietest it had been for me.
"It was only five hours after I had seen what I had seen and had a chance to realize this person that I came to respect and love so much was dead.
"There's something about being on the floor of the House of Representatives. The aura is crisp and cool. It has a damp, musky smell to it," Mascho said. "To be over there and listen to people talk about him, it was the first time that I had brought out emotions that I had been holding back. It was pretty powerful for me."
New priorities
Now that Gillmor's funeral is behind it, the staff's top priority is to make sure his papers and archives are properly cataloged, Mascho said. After that, its members need to think about their futures once the seat Gillmor occupied in the House is filled through a special election later this year.
Mascho said he has spent the last few weeks talking often with Gillmor's wife and family and reminiscing about the time he shared with him. He said talking about those experiences has softened the loss he incurred by Gillmor's passing.
"After all this, it's hard to think of some of the stories, it's hard to think of exact instances or things that you would put your finger on and say, 'I learned this from him,' " Mascho said. "You just know that he touched you in so many ways and that you learned so much from him. I know I'm a much better person for knowing him."
"I'm glad that I got to be a part of his life," Mascho said. "I'm really glad that he was a part of mine."

Each year, more than 234,000 men in the United States are diagnosed with prostate cancer. If caught and treated in its early stages, prostate cancer has a cure rate of over 90 percent.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation's web site (www.prostatecancerfoundation.org) contains valuable information about the disease, including detection and screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
Although age and genetics usually determine who is at risk for the disease, diet and lifestyle changes may make a difference. The site cites at least two servings of tomato sauce a week and at least five servings of cruciferous vegetables such as bok choy, cabbage and kale as factors in significantly decreasing the risk of developing prostate cancer.
Vitamin A (found in foods like apricots, lettuce and spinach) and vitamin B6 (found in foods like fortified cereals, chickpeas and nuts) are known to balance cell growth and death, particularly cancerous cells. A reduction of red meat can also aid in the prevention of prostate cancer.
The site also contains the latest prostate cancer news, a glossary of key terms, and a list of useful resources.

How immigration affects the wages of American citizens is one of the most contentious concerns in the immigration reform debate. Wages are at an all-time low. But, don't worry. The impact, if there is any, is small.
There's an academic debate over whether immigration has boosted or dragged down wages for existing citizens. Either way, the effect is small. Plus, any increased immigration will be offset by tighter border security, advocates argue. And, taking into account other factors, immigration may even come with some economic benefits.
Some of the most-cited research showing that immigration has depressed wages comes from a pair of Harvard economists, George Borjas and Lawrence Katz. Specifically, they found that Mexican immigration from 1980 to 2000 lowered wages for high school dropouts and college graduates, they found in a 2007 paper. (They also found that it raised wages for high school graduates and college dropouts.) Borjas repeated his analysis last month in a report published last month for the "low-immigration, pro-immigrant" Center for Immigration Studies. That April report found that from 1990 to 2010, immigration had roughly the same effect with immigration also dragging wages down for another group: those who have received post-college education.
The results may seem striking: only high school graduates and college dropouts benefited from immigration. Everyone else was earning less than they would have otherwise. But zoom out a little and the effect is null: on average the long-term effect immigration had on wages from 1990 to 2010 was zero, Borjas found.
Borjas and Katz have plenty of detractors, the most high-profile among them Gianmarco I.P. Ottaviano and Giovanni Peri. In their own oft-cited 2010 study, the duo built on the Borjas-Katz model and found that immigration has actually boosted native wages by a slight 0.6 percent.
(Source: Brookings Institution)
There's clearly academic disagreement on the impact of immigration on wages, but the effects are tiny, notes Demetrios Papademetriou, president and co-founder of the Migration Policy Institute and a former director for immigration policy and research at the Labor Department. "I will go one further... not only are they small," he says, "but they pale in comparison to the effects that other big forces in the real world have had on wages, such as openness to trade, technological innovation, etc."
Plus, it may be too narrow to just look at wages, he and others argue. "If you are really thinking about the overall economy, then you should be thinking about the overall economic byproducts, or economic benefits in the longer term certain types of immigration bring about," he says.
One of those benefits is how immigration can boost purchasing power, Michael Clemens, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development, recently told The Washington Post. Specifically, Clemens points to a 2008 paper. That study found that, low-skilled immigration from 1980 to 2000, lifted purchasing power for high-skilled native workers in the nation's 30 largest cities by an average 0.32 percent. For high school dropouts, however, low-skilled immigrants reduced their purchasing power by a maximum of 1 percent.
"[T]hrough lower prices, low-skilled immigration brings positive net benefits to the U.S. economy as a whole but generates a redistribution of wealth," the author concluded.
Any negative impact immigration may have on wages and purchasing power is concentrated on high school dropouts, but there may be an upside, according to another recent study: immigration has boosted the likelihood that native-born citizens will graduate. The effect may be small, but that's the finding of a paper last year by Rutgers economist Jennifer Hunt, who is now the Labor Department's chief economist.
The results, she suggested, may "help explain how natives respond to immigration in such a way as to obviate the potential negative impact on native wages."
In other words, even if immigration has dragged down wages for dropouts, native-born citizens have responded by simply sticking it out in high school for the hopes of better future opportunities.

I'm not afraid to tackle the one question on no one's mind.
He's such a butterfingers.
Well played, Kardashians. Well played.
Highlights included a seven-foot-tall armadillo, a fat guy who looked like a live-action version of Cleveland Brown's son, and a girl in a Viking outfit (or maybe it was Hermes, but honestly, who cares).
Milwaukee native and former Idol contestant Danny Gokey was on hand to give false hope to delusional contestants. And if you're looking for delusional people, a Rustbelt city like Milwaukee does not disappoint.
If I'm going to be forced to watch, I might as well make some predictions. If any of them come true, I'll look like a genius. If not, no one will give a damn. So here's my timeline of what you'll see during tonight's broadcast.

Poway Junior Vaqueros is a fun developmental club soccer program designed to build the necessary skills to become a successful soccer player. Fundamentals are taught by professional coaches and their assistants in age appropriate drills and activities. The weekend games will be 4 vs. 4 plus goalies, with one substitute per team. All players rotate into different positions with everyone getting equal playing time.
• Designed for boys and girls ages 6-8
• Season August through November
• 2 practices a week with games on Fridays
• Quality instruction provided by professional coaches and assistants
Skills Development
Junior Vaqueros will be coached by a member of the Vaqueros professional coaching staff. In order to keep the ratio of players to coaches low, high school aged high-level players will assist the coach. This will allow all activities to occur in small groups with supervision, and lots of opportunities to touch the ball. Players will have two practices a week.
Games will be played weekly using a 5v5 format (4 field players plus a goalie) on a small field. This type of format has been scientifically shown to increase the opportunities for players to use the skills they are learning in game situations, helping them to learn them better.
There will be no set teams. The Junior Vaqueros will be divided into teams each week for games, allowing fun and skills to be the focus rather than league standings. The coach will make adjustments to create the best environment possible each week.
How does the Jr Vaqueros Program differ from Fall Recreational Soccer?
Fall Recreational Div. 6 Program
Junior Vaqueros
Ages 6-8 registered as recreational players. No tryouts required.
Ages 6-8 registered as recreational players. No tryouts required.
Parent volunteers. Most with YM1 licenses (half day class). Some have good playing and/or coaching experience. Usually another parent volunteer acts as an assistant coach.
Professional or semi-professional coach. National Licenses and significant playing and coaching experience. Depending on the number of players there will be 1-3 assistant coaches who are high school age high level players.
1-2 practices per week depending on coach's preference.
2 practices per week
8v8 with league standings.
Teams are divided up before the season begins. From a skills development standpoint, the team size and field size are less than ideal. From a team feeling, recreational competition standpoint they are a good size. 11 game schedule on Saturdays, September through November.
5v5 (4v4+goalies) on a small field.
Teams are divided up each week from among the players. Players have reversible jerseys to facilitate this. Games are informal, no standings are kept and teams are changed each week. All players move to all positions, and playing time is expected to be equal for all players. Emphasis is on fun and skills development over competition. 12-14 games will be possible. Games are on Friday afternoons.
Post Season
Some players will be selected for an all-star team that will play in 1-3 tournaments in November/December.
If there is sufficient interest and the coaches determine that it is in the best interest of the players, 8v8 boys and girls teams may be formed to play in the Poway Thanksgiving Tournament. If this is done, all players who choose to participate may. There may be a small additional fee for those who participate. Last year this was $10.

Map on Boards page and various and sundry
The map is driving me crazy. First the page loads with no map, and just as I'm about to click on something, the map appears and all the text moves down. I've got an iBook and the screen is too small to accomodate the map and the text and so then I have to scroll down to get to the text. I don't even see the point of the map--although it's pretty--since it's just as easy to select a geographical location from the text list.
I think this was mentioned before, and I apologize for starting a new thread, but I cannot find the original thread on this board. Perhaps because relatively few threads are visible on each page. I actually like the look of the new interface. I like the type and even the pictures. But there is a lot less visible at one view.
Also, I've read mentions of marking things as read. How do you do this?
Finally, and I say this respectfully, one of the things I miss about the old Chowhound is that moderators had a big presence and usually when you addressed the site, the site addressed you back. Heck, Jim often addressed you back. Now of course I understand that there is a heck of a lot more site talking going on since we have a whole new system, but there is a sense of speaking into a black hole. While I understand the inidividual replies are probably not possible, could there be a place where, every couple of days or so, a moderator gave a little summary of what was being worked on? I think if the mods had a forum to say "we hear you about this specific problem and we're working on it," it might cut down on posts that keep hammering away at the same problem.
OK, now this is a little freaky. Sometimes--and I can't figure out when--if I just put my cursor on "Boards" without clicking on it, the page comes up without the map. And it sits right on top of the page I'm reading. Then it goes away when I move my cursor. The other headings (Features, Hot Posts, Digest, et.) do not have this power.
I'll be quiet now.
Except to say that I wasn't sure whether to post these comments on Site Talk or Feedback. Any advice? Thanks.0

I used to have the Homebrew Channel downloaded a long time ago (maybe in the summer), with its only purpose to play Brawl+. If it helps for identification purposes (of the version), the Homebrew Channel I used had something called Gecko, and a Homebrew Browser.
Anyways, I bought a new SD card yesterday at 4GB. I heard it was possible to download games onto the Wii using storage devices, so I immediately deleted every trace of the Homebrew that I had, and then used this guide to install Homebrew Channel thorugh my new SD card:
I have Wii version 4.1. Everything is perfect; I completed all steps (except 4) and got everything working. The only thing I was curious about was if I should update to the 1.06 version of the Homebrew Channel. The reason I am asking is because the guide stated not to update. I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on this though.
Thanks for reading.
dont think it really mateers updating the homebrew channel i think it refers to updating system version to 4.2 i believe if you update it makes all traces of homebrew away with it.

This step-by-step article describes how to use COM+ (Component Services) transactions in a Microsoft Visual C++ .NET class or in a Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 class. A set of database operations is considered one unit. Either all operations succeed or, if one operation fails, the whole transaction fails. In the latter case, any database operations that were tried are not posted to the underlying database.
RequirementsThis article assumes that you are familiar with the following topics:
COM+ transaction servicesYou can implement transaction processing with the System.EnterpriseServices namespace in the Microsoft .NET Framework. To access COM+ transactional services, create a class. To do this, follow these steps:
Complete code listingNote Remember to change your connection string parameters to reflect the correct values for your SQL Server server.
Note You must add the common language runtime support compiler option (/clr:oldSyntax) in Visual C++ 2005 to successfully compile the previous code sample. To add the common language runtime support compiler option in Visual C++ 2005, follow these steps:
/clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation)
Verify that it worksTo test this code, create a Console Application project that uses the clsES class. In one case, a transaction succeeds, and the UnitsOnOrder and UnitsInStock fields for the specified product are updated. In the second case, the update for the UnitsOnOrder field for a specified product succeeds, but the update for the UnitsInStock field for a product fails because the specified product number does not exist in the Products table. This causes a transaction failure, and the transaction is ignored.
