Home › Academics & Activities › Academic Skills
Ask the Experts
By Debra Collins, Family therapist
My second-grader works very slowly. We both work on her homework during the afternoon. She usually needs to do about three to four pages of homework. We start at 6:00 p.m. and she does not finish until 7:30 p.m. I don't know what to do for her to work at a faster pace. Am I being too pushy? When she asks me to give her a 10-minute break during that period of time, should I? She likes to work more with math and does it much faster than reading and writing. What can I do to help her improve her work pace?
It is sensible to check yourself out on this one. Homework seems to be one of the biggest sources of frustration for everyone involved, and the debate about its efficacy has become heated. Some experts say we need children to do more because we are falling behind in education. Others say it is our curriculum that is the problem and that this won't be solved by giving more homework. To make it more complicated, some studies suggest that homework (before sixth grade) does little to improve academic success. No matter what your bias, homework is not going away. So it helps to be positive about it around your child.
The U.S. Department of Education offers these guidelines: kindergarten through second grade - 10 to 20 minutes each day; third through sixth grade- 30 to 60 minutes. However, I think there are so many factors involved, such as when and where the child does homework and how difficult it is based on the child's skill level, that these guidelines may not be very helpful. Check in with your child's teacher about her expectations and what she feels your daughter should be able to accomplish, based on how she completes her work in class. I like that your daughter is asking for what she needs. Try giving her a 10-minute break and see how she does with it. Avoid difficult transitions like watching television. Experiment with the order of her work. Some children do better doing what they like first and others like doing the easier part last. It is your daughter's homework so let her complete it at her pace. Then you can go over it with her to see how she did. Keeping children on task is helpful, but too much pushing can be counterproductive.
Advice from our experts is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment from a health-care provider or learning expert familiar with your unique situation. We recommend consulting a qualified professional if you have concerns about your child's condition.

As many of you know, I love Nintendo to the core, call it blind fanboyism and while I maybe a fanboy, you can't deny that they make some pretty great and fun games. Today Iwata had a Nintendo Direct video about upcoming Wii U related stuff. The only one I ever paid attention to the most was the last one that had the incredibly awesome announcement of Pokemon X&Y which will be the best Pokemon and rpg ever. *citation not needed*
Today's Nintendo Direct seemed like any other one from the past with talks about improving the Wii U, announcements of games we already knew about but then Nintendo reveals some new games, some awesome new games. But first this, Virtual Console will be coming to the Wii U, which should of been there from day 1 but it's finally coming. Though it sucks that you have to pay a buck or a buck and fifty cents if you want to upgrade your Wii VC games into Wii U ones. But who cares about that because GBA games will be coming to the Wii U's Virtual Console service, which is a strange move. I mean why not the 3DS? I guess because the Ambassador Program but we will finally have GBA games.
Now the games, Nintendo teased Monolith Soft's new RPG simply titled X, and it looks awesome. Then a collaboration between Atlus and Nintendo to make Shin Megami TenseixFire Emblem. That seemed pretty interesting, but awesome nontheless, I'll probably get that one too. And here is a screenshot from a new game:
A new Yoshi platformer! From the Epic Yarn guys and it looks really cool, I'm loving the graphics on this. I wont buy this one since my brother is getting it but I'm gonna play it anyway. They also teased that the Super Mario Galaxy and 3DLand teams are working on a new 3D Mario title. I hope they take their time with it, and I know it will be amazingly fun. Last but not least, the reason I bothered to write this:
Windwaker in HD, omfg fucking hell yes! I'm so excited for this! I never thought Nintendo would do it but I remained optimistic that one day they'd remake WW in HD. I mean the game looks absolutely stunning in HD, and it will have new features too. I wonder if it'll have the content that was removed from the original? Well basically the only reason Nintendo is re-releasing this is because they are working on the next Zelda game and they said it will be a long time before we even see or hear something about it. With this, I can wait, I may even postpone my yearly playthrough of Windwaker and wait to get this.
Other than that, a new Mario Kart is in the works and will be shown at E3 and we might see screenshots of the new Smash Bros games for the 3DS and the Wii U. Overall, I think this year started off with a bang, first Pokemon X&Y and now all of this. This year will certainly be a year for gaming, even if it means only buying Pokemon and WW HD.
So what did you think of Nintendo Direct's announcements? Thanks for reading and later.

Stockertown interim Mayor Charles Davis won the Democratic nomination for the full position during tonight's primary, according to unofficial results.
Davis defeated challenger Rosemarie Wenzelberger in the mayoral race, although she will still be in the running for borough council in the November general election.
Eric Wenzelberger won the Republican primary, earning more votes than former Mayor Sherman Metzgar, whose name was on the ballot despite his death on April 14.
Davis and Wenzelberger will run for a four-year term in the vacancy left by Metzgar, who was mayor of the borough since 1965.

The public should be given the chance to share in the future profits of Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Bank, according to a think-tank close to the Chancellor which urges him today to dispose of the Government's stakes before the next election.
Policy Exchange suggests that the Treasury should offer the public the chance to borrow more than £1,000 of shares in both state-owned banks, allowing them to profit if the shares rise.
The think-tank suggests that if the share price goes up by 30 per cent, the individuals would profit by £225, with the original £1,000 loan returning

Winds are challenging to measure. We present a new technique for deriving winds from atmospheric density measurements and apply it to the martian upper atmosphere using MGS accelerometer data. This technique could be applied to Cassini observations of Titan's atmosphere to measure Titan's winds.
We have used the MGS accelerometer's upper atmospheric density profiles from aerobraking, together with the assumptions of hydrostatic equilibrium and negligible winds, to derive atmospheric pressure profiles along the spacecraft trajectory around periapsis. Unlike entry probes, atmospheric profiles from aerobraking are not vertical. Those from MGS traverse about one degree of latitude for each kilometre of altitude. Two independent estimates of atmospheric pressure at periapsis are derived, one from the inbound leg of the atmospheric pass, the other from the outbound leg. Observed discrepancies between these two estimates of periapsis pressure indicate an error in the assumptions. We make order-of-magnitude estimates of the neglected terms in the Navier-Stokes, or momentum conservation, equation and conclude that the largest neglected term is due to the zonal wind. The simplest possible extension to our initial assumptions is to include a constant and uniform zonal wind. We solve for this new, unknown parameter by requiring the two estimates of periapsis pressure to match. Self-consistent pressure and temperature profiles are also obtained.
Using this technique, each aerobraking pass can provide self-consistent density, pressure, and temperature profiles and a measurement of the zonal wind speed from the original density profile. There are many research questions on Mars and other planets that can be addressed with this technique.

About This Book
One girl too many...
When a girl is born to Chu Ju's family, it is quickly determined that the baby must be sent away. After all, the law states that a family may have only two children, and tradition dictates that every family should have a boy. To make room for one, this girl will have to go.
Fourteen-year-old Chu Ju knows she cannot allow this to happen to her sister. Understanding that one girl must leave, she sets out in the middle of the night, vowing not to return.
With luminescent detail, National Book Award-winning author Gloria Whelan transports readers to China, where law conspires with tradition, tearing a young woman from her family, sending her on a remarkable journey to find a home of her own.

We're thrilled to announce that after several months of work, Rightside has officially spun out of Demand Media. Rightside contains all the domain name, web hosting, web builder, email and site security assets of Demand Media, which includes the Enom, EnomCentral and BulkRegister retail and wholesale registrars. Rightside will trade on the NASDAQ stock exchange starting today under the symbol NAME. You can read more about this announcement here.
While this has been a long journey for so many people on Rightside's executive, financial and legal teams, it's only the beginning for us at Enom. We're excited about the opportunity this gives us to continue to grow with you, our customers and partners. Even though the name of our parent company has changed, our commitment to you will never change.
As of today, we've released over 450 TLDs from registries such as Rightside, Donuts, CLUB, Uniregistry and others. Our focus is to provide the widest selection of TLDs, from generic and country codes to the latest new TLDs across all release phases. We make every effort to support pre-registration during the Sunrise, Landrush, and Priority Placement for Early Access phases. Our goal at Enom is to continue to be the leading new TLD platform to build your business on.
In addition to our new TLD release schedule, we're working on exciting new products including a major upgrade to our email services, as well as a new website builder. That's just the start of the new features we'll be rolling out through the remainder of 2014.
While Rightside is a new public company, it's built from a strong foundation. Enom, founded in 1997 and purchased by Demand Media in 2006, has been going strong for many years, and with your help, will continue to grow even stronger. Thank you all for being part of the Enom partner family and a critical part of our success.

House Bill 5 Brings Opportunity for Technical Colleges
Higher education officials largely stayed on the sidelines last year when the Texas Legislature debated and ultimately passed a bill that led to a significant overhaul of the state's high school curriculum.
Those colleges and universities are now trying to determine if and how they must adjust as the state prepares to carry out the changes, including a requirement for high school students to select diploma "endorsements" in specialized areas like science and technology or business and industry.
Supporters argued the changes would allow students the flexibility to pursue a curriculum more tailored to their interests and abilities. Business leaders ...

U.S. Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP)
The Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP) is world's most prestigious youth award for a water-related science project. The prize taps into the unlimited potential of today's high school students as they seek to address current and future water challenges.
This competition is open to students in grades 9 through 12 with science projects aimed at enhancing the quality of life through the improvement of water quality, water resource management, or water and watershed treatment. Projects can explore water issues on a local, regional, national, or global level using a research-oriented approach.
The Alaska Science and Engineering Fair would like to promote interest in the SJWP, which is not actually awarded at the Alaska Science and Engineering Fair, but students may enter both competitions with the same project.
When you prepare your water-related project for the Alaska Science and Engineering Fair, please also submit your paper to the State SJWP Competition, http://www.wef.org/PublicInformation/page.aspx?id=280&ekmensel=c580fa7b_62_0_280_1. Your entry will be reviewed by the Alaska State SJWP judges, and they may also visit you and your project at the Alaska Science and Engineering Fair. (Please note that you can still enter the State SJWP competition even if you are unable to attend the Alaska Science and Engineering Fair.) The deadline for submitting Alaska State SJWP entries is (TBA).
If you are the winner of the Alaska State SJWP competition, you and your school will be presented with an award. Both you and your science teacher will be invited to compete at the National Competition. (Visit 2013 U.S. National Competition for details). The winner of the U.S. event will be invited to compete at the International SJWP event in Stockholm, Sweden. All expenses are paid for the winner and the winner's science teacher to attend the U.S. and International events.
Please read more about project eligibility at the SJWP website: http://www.wef.org/sjwp/.

Cinnamon Scented Fall Wreath
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Gather beautiful dried flowers, cinnamon sticks, and colorful beads to create this lovely Cinnamon Scented Fall Wreath. Great for both indoors and out, this easy DIY wreath will add a fragrant scent to your living room or your front porch. You can also add lovely roses made from Polymer clay to further add color and dimension to your wreath. This simple fall decoration is great to have on display all season long.
- Twig heart
- One big flesh-colored rose made from Polymer clay
- Two smaller flesh-colored roses made from Polymer clay
- Three red felt roses
- Two dried flowers
- 60" light brown organza ribbon with a golden edge
- Red bow made from red spider-web ribbon
- Golden twine
- Cinnamon sticks
- 2 square brown glass beads
- 5 golden beads
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Before you begin, first plan where to place all the different elements of the wreath.
Cut the 60" light brown organza ribbon in three equal pieces. Use one of the pieces at the top of the heart and make a bow. Add a drop of glue with the hot glue gun so that the bow won't come undone. The ends of the bow will be used to hang the wreath.
Use the hot glue gun to add the polymer clay roses, the felt roses and the dried flowers.
Glue the spider-web ribbon in place below the big polymer clay rose.
If necessary, cut the cinnamon sticks a bit shorter, and glue the cinnamon sticks, the other bows and the beads in place.
Twist the golden twine around the wreath, and hot glue gun the ends of twine in place at the back of the wreath.

its an iPad mini competitor...so you'll see it on $250-300 price point..
but on the look wise, iPad mini slayed it..even though note 8 has better specs but ipad mini is made with premium looking materials and aluminum... while this one is merely plastic..

I will buy

For $250 with a microSD slot, me too. The only competition would be a doubled CPU/GPU-core Nexus 10.

i have a tab 2 7 inch lte. its comprised of plastic but its pretty heavy with a case. tablets in the 7 to 8 inch range should be light, portable, and data capable outside of lte.
if its heavy its a pain in the arse especially when you can't sit still like me and constantly changing angles, body position, while holding the tablet mid-air

11. CorianU (Posts: 27; Member since: 22 Jan 2013)

DA fork? Home button? You insane Sammy? Please get rid of it already.... Stop trying at it =_=
24. wendygarett (unregistered)
Maybe Sammy wanna make the device horizontally comfortable, just like iPad mini :)
27. mick25 (banned) (Posts: 110; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
hurr durr
the first galaxy tab was "horizontal"
54. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
First galaxy tab was horizontally comfortable, and second one too but why include this home button when its not needed because we have touch ones instead
21. DKMDROID (Posts: 103; Member since: 09 Aug 2011)
Hate how it looks the price is so attractive and it looks terrible its like a big note 2 and although it has last years tech, in my opinion its still relevant as opposed to the dual-core enclosed in the iPad mini they just need to get rid of those buttons then ill be waiting in line for this one (yea i do believe there will be a line for it)
23. mick25 (banned) (Posts: 110; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
get rid of the home button and make it landscape orientation, then it's like the nexus 10 mini.
26. imkyle (Posts: 1073; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
I am so digging that physical button
52. bparkerson (unregistered)
What???...I just don't get it. Digging a physical home button. ..What??? The physical buttons are the only thing I cant stand with these new Samsung devices. Don't get me wrong I love Samsung , but I wont buy another without on screen buttons!
28. dorianb (Posts: 597; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Physical Home button & the bezel in portrait mode is STILL too big. *sigh*
33. alidxb (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Jun 2011)
This is hyundai tablet not note 8.0
35. CorianU (Posts: 27; Member since: 22 Jan 2013)
I hope your right
36. dan_md (Posts: 66; Member since: 19 Oct 2010)
It has come to the point where the pebble design language has become a tiresome design. Sure, it would be cheap but not at the expense of creativity. The Nexus 7, which costs less, looks every bit a premium and more ergonomically sound than the knee-jerk Apple iPad mini.
38. steelicon (Posts: 317; Member since: 02 Apr 2011)
I would have preferred Galaxy Note 10.1 design and at least an LED flash with front facing camera (which this one has, apparently).
39. skymitch89 (Posts: 1299; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
Funny how the person has a "Note 8.0" but also has what looks to be an HTC One X.
41. Crowsticks (Posts: 2; Member since: 24 Jan 2013)
Why would it have a speaker grate if it's a tablet...
This looks just like a Galaxy S3 but stretched out.
I honestly think it's a fake picture...
42. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
a large note2, nothing else.
even there is some kind of retardation in it as far as there is no sign of stylus.
44. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
noooooooo, lose the home and capacative keys! >>
45. techguy22 (Posts: 227; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
meh. looks like a huge note 2. and i already got a nexus 7 with almost the same specs. waitinf for nexus 7.7 full HD ,,,
48. flipjzn (Posts: 256; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
I can never get over why Samsung can't come up with a nicely build product. My GS3 is scratch and has cracks all over. I wish specs + good quality build would be on top of their list this year.
49. darkkjedii (Posts: 21309; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Sammy making their new tablets look like their phones. Hmmmm wonder where they got that idea. Great looking device by the way.

That home button seems out of place on a tablet.

What is in this article?:
- House farm bill mark-up set for Wednesday
- Letter
- Wednesday mark-up of the House farm bill scheduled.
- Arkansas Farm Bureau endorses House legislation.
With a scheduled Wednesday mark-up of the House farm bill looming, the Arkansas Farm Bureau has endorsed the legislation. The House version – titled the "Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act (FARRM)" – would cut around $35 billion over a decade.
For more, see here.
"The House's proposal offers a choice between Price Loss Coverage and Revenue Loss Coverage that will enable farmers to determine what best fits their particular situation," said Randy Veach, Arkansas Farm Bureau President, in a letter sent to House Agriculture Committee leadership on Monday. "FARRM's focus is on addressing serious and sustained losses, which is the intended purpose of a farm bill. This bill acknowledges the diversity of agriculture and recognizes that a one-size-fits-all approach is not workable for all farmers and ranchers.
"We feel the options laid out in the FARRM bill will provide planting and production flexibility. The House bill's Price Loss Coverage and Revenue Loss Coverage provides a better system of support for southern agriculture than the Senate proposal and allows producers to plant for the market. However, we are obviously disappointed in the loss of
direct payments as a risk management tool."
To read the full letter, scroll down.
Veach and Jeffery Hall, Arkansas Farm BureauAssociate Director of National Affairs, are currently in Washington, D.C., meeting with Arkansas lawmakers prior to the mark-up.
"I was just in a meeting where (Oklahoma Rep.) Frank Lucas, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, addressed the crowd," said Hall on Tuesday morning. The chairman "was confident the price protection option would be maintained through committee as well as on the House floor and through conference. He's optimistic that the farmers will have a choice. We were extremely pleased to hear that."
While many hope the House mark-up may copy the Senate's and be finished quickly, the legislation's route forward remains out of focus. "We just don't know about getting time for the legislation on the House floor."
With so much optimism from lawmakers who would be a part of the House/Senate conference, is it Hall's sense that many of the potential bumpy issues have already been smoothed out?
"One of the encouraging thoughts moving toward finding common ground is the (agriculture committee) chairmen and ranking members basically had a conference during last year's 'super committee' report. They all know each other's personal preferences going forward.
"Of course the conference committee would add a few members from the House and Senate. But there isn't a lot of difference between the House and Senate farm bill versions except for cuts to the nutrition programs and the Commodity Title. The other titles are very similar. They have to deal with two titles in question. That eases some of the conference frictions, I believe."
What about the hard-liners? Will the House face more issues from coming amendments than anything else?
"It is exactly correct to worry about that -- the extremes on both sides. The Tea Party Republicans want more than $16 billion in cuts to the Nutrition Title. Then, Democrats from the big cities want no cuts to nutrition programs.
"That dynamic will be a challenge as this bill moves forward, especially on the House floor with the open process of amendments. It will be difficult."
Amendments must be filed by Tuesday evening to make it to mark-up.
Lawmakers "are holding amendments close to the vest. In fact, Chairman Lucas did not indicate anything he is planning to do. He's keeping his strategic cards close.
"We expect there will be nutrition amendments from Democrats to do away with the cuts to those programs."
Does Hall believe that House Democrats would be willing to go along with the Senate's $4 billion in cuts to nutrition programs? Or are they against any cuts?
"Both. Some of them don't want any cuts. But I think a larger majority willing to go along with $4 billion in cuts compared to the (House's proposal) to cut $16 billion."
Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee, has repeatedly said $16 billion in nutrition program cuts has no chance. "He's said it will be fixed in conference, and I agree. But (Peterson) said Chairman Lucas had to propose such cuts to appease the far-right fiscal conservative Tea Party freshmen."
Hall also expects amendments on the sugar program "to roll back to 2008 levels. I've never really lobbied on sugar -- Arkansas doesn't have any. But when you look at moving back to the 2008 levels, you'd eliminate the use of some excess sugar going into ethanol plants. That, in turn, puts more pressure on corn stocks and, as a result, the livestock industry. So, we'll be bringing that up with" the Arkansas delegation.
Has there been any indication that Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor, House Majority Leader, will agree to schedule time for the farm bill on the House floor?
"I believe Cantor" and Ohio Rep. John Boehner, Speaker of the House, "haven't thought about giving the farm bill any floor time. And, in my opinion, they won't think about that until a bill is passed in committee. That's where the pressure point will be for them – a committee vote will be important to providing floor time."
Also of interest is a fledgling effort -- in the form of a letter making its way around the House -- to split the farm bill in two. The result: separate bills for nutrition programs and farm programs.
"I hope no one signs that letter," said Hall. "We feel at Farm Bureau that if you split the farm bill we'll never get a bill. The votes aren't there.
"A while back they put the nutrition and farm programs together in order to get a farm bill passed. There were so many people moving away from production agriculture that we needed to garner more support."

Capitalists speculate and steal, as we do admits in a passionate slip Maduro
No end to Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro oral bloopers. In campaign for the municipal elections of 8 December and in the midst of an economic war on big business of which it accuses of promoting inflation and destabilizing his government, a self confession or sincericide (a blend of sincerity and suicide) became the delight of social networks ant twitters.
In the midst of a fiery and passionate speech he said capitalists speculate and steal as we do.
I want to tell shop owners of this country, small and medium, these shop owners that you know so well from your neighborhood, they are also victims of capital, of the capitalists that speculate and steal, as we do...because they are squeezed by suppliers and wholesale people, and are also squashed by the big shopping malls, they are twice squeezed said the Venezuelan leader.
The phrase immediately triggered a twitters' tsunami with the Chavistas arguing that what Maduro really said was that Chavism is a victim of speculators while on the opposite side, the anti-Chavists described it as a 'sincericide'.
This is not the first time (or by experience the last) of president Maduro extravagance with words.
Not so long ago and in reference to a passage of the Bible he pledged we will look to get involved school by school, child by child, high school by high school, community by community so that we will multiply as Christ did the penis, sorry the fish and loafs, I'm sorry for the expression.

Quarterback Brandon Weeden and running back Trent Richardson were the Cleveland Browns' first-round draft picks in the 2012 NFL draft. These unlucky two have the improbable task of trying to bring the word "win" to the Browns culture, but it just will not happen.
Richardson was the No. 3 pick overall, and Weeden was the No. 22 pick. They are the key components of the future of a Cleveland team that sports the league's youngest team.
These rookies should be able to inspire the team and the city, but they are in over their heads.
The Browns and the city of Cleveland are in disarray. Add the fact that Weeden and Richardson are only rookies, and the result will continue to be a culture of losing and disappointment.
There are three main reasons the rookies will just not be able to turn this historic franchise around.

Microcontrollers (uC) can interface to hardware via built-in peripherals,
whereas microprocessors require I/O interface chips. Another difference
is that a uC may contain program and data memory in order to operate
standalone, example PIC uC chips with EEPROM, RAM, I/O.

Rumson head coach Shane Fallon notched his 100th career victory last Friday. While Fallon's 91st victory probably seemed like another win at the time, it serves as a reminder of just how things have changed in the course of a year for St. John Vianney receiver Ishameal Hyman and his team.
Last season, Fallon got his 91st decision when his team defeated St. John Vianney, 37-0. When the two teams meet this evening in Holmdel at St. John Vianney, Hyman will be looking for a much different result.
"It's a pride game for us," Hyman said. "They beat us so bad on our home field last year, that we have to come out firing fast."
St. John Vianney showed its ability to start fast last week in a victory against Msgr. Donovan. On the second drive of that game, quarterback Billy DeMato connected with Hyman for a 42-yard touchdown strike. The offense never looked back, as it notched another 33 points for the 40-0 triumph.
Points, though, should be at a premium this evening. Rumson senior Travis Clark anchors the 4-3 defense from his middle linebacker position, and is a proven game-changer from the middle. That Rumson defense held Shore Regional to 10 points, and came up with a decisive stop on fourth-and-8, securing the 13-10 overtime victory.
"They're a great team," St. John Vianney's head coach Andy Carlstrom said. "They've been running that 4-3 defense for years, and they're always prepared and always well-disciplined."
Rumson runs a pro-style offense, centered around senior quarterback Danny Roberto. As a junior, Roberto threw for nearly 1,600 yards, and returns as one of the best passers in the Shore Conference.
With starting running back Conor Walsh injured, Clark has also been asked to run the ball more. He rushed for 35 yards on seven carries and converted a key fourth-and-1 to keep Rumson's alive in the fourth quarter against Shore Regional last week.
To keep things close against St. John Vianney, Rumson must find a way to slow down Hyman. The six-feet-tall receiver possesses game-changing speed and explosiveness, and could prove to be the difference.
St. John Vianney, 20-14.
Marlboro (0-1) at Howell (0-1): Marlboro and Howell allowed week-one opponents to score 34 and 35 points, respectively. The winner of tonight's game must prove its potential on the defensive side of the ball.
Howell, 27-17.
Freehold Township (0-1) at Manalapan (1-0): Manalapan's high-powered offense should be too much for a Freehold Twp. squad that surrendered 28 points to Southern Reg. in three quarters last week. Look for quarterback Mike Isabella to exploit the defense, using his two standout receivers Anthony Firkser and Saeed Blacknall.
Manalapan, 38-7.
Manchester (0-1) at Barnegat (0-1): Barnegat looked like a team destined for big things, but a 21-0 loss at Holmdel derailed expectations. Head coach Rob Davis looks to get his squad back on track this evening, in its home opener.
Barnegat, 23-14.
Freehold Reg. (0-1) at Matawan (1-0): Quarterback Kashaun Barnes continues to lead Matawan's offense against a Freehold Reg. squad that collapsed in the final two-minutes against Lakewood. Matawan, 28-14.
Brick Memorial (1-0) at Middletown North (0-0): Brick Memorial found its grove, scoring 35 unanswered points in its season opener against Brick Twp. Its defense found ways to get after the quarterback, and if it does so again, Memorial should move to 2-0.
Brick Memorial, 17-14.
Pinelands (0-1) at Point Pleasant Boro (1-0): The Pinelands defense allowed 58 points against Lacey in its season opener. Things won't get any easier against Point Pleasant Boro.
Point Pleasant Boro, 41-13.
Manasquan (0-1) at Red Bank Catholic (1-0): Manasquan surrendered 174 rushing yards to Long Branch's Joscil Jackson in its 18-13 season-opening loss. Red Bank Catholic rushed for 266 yards, and its bruising ground game and dominating defense should be the difference against Manasquan.
Red Bank Catholic, 38-7.
Toms River South (0-1) at Southern Regional (1-0): Toms River South opened its season with a 29-26 loss to Central Reg. South will travel to Southern Reg. and take on a squad that boasted 28 points in three quarters against Freehold Twp. Running back Khaleel Green will need to be extra explosive for Toms River South to hang with the Class A South champions.
Southern Reg., 23-14.
Red Bank (0-1) at Wall (0-1): Wall proved in its 21-6 season-opening loss to Jackson Liberty that experience is everything. Returning zero starters on offense and just three on defense, Wall garnered just 150 yards of total offense. That was, however, 120 more yards than Red Bank achieved in its season-opening loss to Red Bank Catholic. The bright spot for Red Bank, they'll face a less threatening defense in Wall.
Red Bank, 21-10.
Rumson (1-0) at Saint John Vianney (1-0): Both teams enter this matchup with momentum. St. John Vianney garnered its momentum behind the arm of quarterback Billy DeMato, who threw for 231 yards and two TDs in a 40-0 victory against Msgr. Donovan. Rumson earned its momentum off the foot of Jake D'Amelio's game-winning 36-yard field goal in overtime against Shore Reg. St. John Vianney, 20-14.
Jackson Memorial (0-1) at Toms River East (0-1): Jackson's secondary gets a chance to recover after having the tall task of covering Manalapan's two standout receivers. Offensively, Jackson turns to its three-headed ground attack, and should find success against a Toms River East squad that allowed 117 rushing yards against Colts Neck.
Jackson, 23-14.
Carteret (1-0) at Raritan (0-1): Carteret and Raritan enter today's matchup with opposite Week 1 performances. Carteret, on the strength of running back Jerod Johnson's three first-half touchdowns, defeated St. Joseph (Met.), 49-17. Raritan found itself on the other end of the spectrum, losing 41-13 to Neptune.
Carteret, 33-14.
New Egypt (0-1) at Allentown (1-0): Allentown defeated Steinert, 24-0, in its season-opener, as running back Norman Williams added 235 yards of total offense. Williams and the Allentown offense will exploit a New Egypt squad that allowed 43 points in its season opener.
Allentown, 35-0.
Highland Park (0-1) at Keyport (0-1) (tomorrow): Highland Park and Keyport both look to bounce back after Week 1 losses. Keyport's defense surrendered several big plays to Asbury Park, but also forced three turnovers in the process. If Keyport can limit the big play tomorrow, it should move past Highland Park.
Keyport, 21-19.
Monmouth (0-1) at Long Branch (1-0) (tomorrow): Long Branch did not miss its 1000-yard rusher Dwight Clark, as Joscil Jackson shredded Manasquan's defense for 174 yards and a touchdown. Jackson should find similar success tomorrow.
Long Branch, 24-14.
Spotswood (1-0) at Keansburg (1-0) (tomorrow): Spotswood rushed for 329 yards, with Jack Dalrymple (159) leading the way, in its debut against Middlesex. It should move the ball equally as effective against Keansburg.
Spotswood 24-10.
Toms River North (1-0) at Lacey (1-0) (tomorrow): Toms River North and Lacey combined for 93 points in season openers last week, scoring 35 and 58 points, respectively. Tomorrow's matchup may blow the light bulbs off the scoreboard.
Lacey 34-27.
Msgr. Donovan (0-1) at Lakewood (1-0) (tomorrow): Lakewood won its first season opener since 2007. It has a chance to start 2-0 tomorrow if quarterback Tyrice Beverette controls the game. Lakewood, 23-14.
Middletown South (0-0) at Brick Twp. (0-1) (tomorrow): Brick Twp. got off to a fast start against Brick Memorial, but then let up 35 unanswered points. It will need to get off to another fast start against Middletown South, a perennial playoff power.
Middletown South, 27-14.
Asbury Park (1-0) at Shore Regional (0-1) (tomorrow): Shore Reg. looks to bounce back after an overtime loss to Rumson, but Asbury Park stands in its way with the momentum of a 36-7 win against Keyport. Despite 36 points, Asbury Park turned the ball over three times. It must play mistake-free football and continue to make big plays in the open field.
Asbury Park, 31-14.
Neptune (1-0) at Ocean Twp. (1-0) (forfeit): Neptune won the game by forfeit because of concerns over impetigo cases at Ocean Township.
Jackson Liberty (1-0) at Central Reg. (1-0) (today): Jackson Liberty combined a strong defensive effort with a well-balanced passing attack, topping Wall 21-6. They'll face a Central Reg. squad with more experience and the momentum of a 29-26 win against Toms River South. Central Reg. 22-20

Christmas came early to London's Leicester Square Monday night for the European premiere of Fred Claus.
The movie's stars Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti held court amid the fake snow and over-sized evergreens, while Guy Ritchie (a.k.a. Mr. Madonna) escorted kids Lourdes, 11, and Rocco, 7, though the winter wonderland.
Just a warm-up for an over-the-top gift-a-palooza at the superstar's house? Hardly.
"We canceled Christmas a few years ago," Ritchie, the 39-year-old director of Snatch, told PEOPLE. "Stopped all the presents. And ever since [we] stopped the presents, we're are actually enjoying it."
So this year's celebration will be a quiet affair. "We are not sure what we are doing," he added. "Probably staying in London."
As for who's doing the cooking, Ritchie replied, "Well, it's not me!"

Julianne Hough, 25, sparked serious controversy when she covered her face in a very dark shade on Halloween to dress as Uzo Aduba's character Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren from Orange Is the New Black.
And as Aduba tells it herself, the whole costume decision was an "unfortunate situation."
That said, the actress on Netflix's hit show has better places to put her focus.
"She has apologized, and let's just move on," Aduba says. "Let's move on. There [are] other things we can talk about like season 2 of Orange."

January 28, 2014 § 2 Comments
As of recent, there has been some hub bub about an Associated Press photojournalist who altered an image in Photoshop. As a result of his actions, he was fired. His employer the Associated Press, parted ways with Mr. Contreras due to his violation of the photojournalism ethical commandments "You do not add or subtract any element of an image in post processing. Ever." Contreras had removed a video camera that appeared in the corner of his photograph; he felt its presence would dilute the gravity of the photo, which was of a Syrian opposition soldier taking cover under gunfire during a battle in Syria. Contreras has spent many years covering the war in Syria, and has no history of altering any of his photojournalist material. However, what is interesting to note in this situation is that Mr. Contreras, a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, had remorse for his actions and turned himself in knowing full well what the consequences were. Moreover, having claimed he made a poor decision under pressure and duress, he makes no excuses for himself.
The most redeeming quality about Mr. Contreras, is that he took accountability for his actions. I find accountability to be one of the most diminishing traits in our society. Transparency should be normative and if you have something to hide, then maybe you're part of a practice that needs reassessing.
Self-admonishment should be applauded. Perhaps since Contreras came forward with his infraction, maybe he should have gotten a slap on the wrist rather than the boot. But in a profession where manipulation has become standard practice-placing images that are true and remarkable into suspicion, I feel the AP made a firm and correct decision in standing by their manifesto and maintaining photojournalism integrity. It sets a strong example of their belief in documenting the truth in a world where the truth has become redefined. Words like "harvesting" has replaced slaughter, and "enhanced" has replaced "manipulation.
And what's to me a sad state of affairs, is that truth is always more strange and fantastic than fiction. The 2006 doctoring of the image of an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, is inferior to the actual untouched image on the left. There is too much contrast, and what should be regarded as illegal use of the Photoshop stamp tool in the upper billowy regions of the smoke. The original is more believable, more subtle, and therefore more sinister.
The more we manipulate our environment, the more over-saturated, 3-D, and enhanced we make it, the more desensitized we become to our origins. Our thirst for over stimulation leaves us empty, unable to recognize any internal stirrings within. Our own magnificent imagination is being diluted by external stimuli to a degree that we don't know what to do when left with silence. With Plain. With Simplicity. When manipulation becomes commonplace it promotes us to form our own narrative of the truth, thus removing us from all accountability for our actions. Truth becomes hearsay, and any standard for credibility is lost. If you don't stand for something, you stand for nothing.
§ 2 Responses to Accountability
Great writing – and I feel the same way: the unedited (I won't say "unprocessed") image was stronger.
Totally agree with you on the accountability subject! It is definitely lost these days. I try to teach my kids about it as well. Everyone seems to have an excuse for something. I hate that! I say, try not to make excuses about things, fess up to wrong-doing and say sorry. Thing is, you need to "mean it"! Too bad the guy had to lose his job but he was honest and that accounts for a lot. I'm sure the whole situation will lead him somewhere else on his journey.

Anastacia says her journey this year from a second breast-cancer diagnosis through a double mastectomy has been brutal – but in the end, absolutely the right choice for her.
"I had already thought, on my first go-around with cancer, if I got it again that I probably would choose a double mastectomy," the singer, 45, tells British talk show Lorraine. "I think I kind of prepared in my head enough for that decision when it was the decision to make."
Not that it was easy – far from it. But looking back now, Anastacia feels a tremendous weight lifted.
"Any journey down that road is not easy for a female, period," she says. "But you just gotta do what you gotta do, and I'm cancer free forever – breast cancer free, at least, and that has been all worth the struggle."
Anastacia (full name: Anastacia Lyn Newkirk) credits close friends Elton John and Sharon Osbourne, who is a fellow cancer survivor, for helping her through the ordeal.
"Sharon, Elton, they have been more than friends, more than respectful in just being teatime buddies," she says. "I am so grateful that they find the time out of their crazy schedules to even care about how I'm feeling and what's happening with me. It means the world, it really does."
Anastacia is currently working on her sixth studio album, and says music has become her medicine.
"I have to tell you, if I didn't have this album to do, it would be much harder," she says. "The cathartic, inspirational songs that have come about … my goodness, I am so excited! I was just in the studio today. It's hard for me, I don't want to talk about it and say that it is the best album in the world – but it is!"

This first story for the adopted child, written for very young children, is not recommended. A book such as this must be exactly right or it should not be used at all. No matter how appealing and attractive the book may seem at first glance, it must be looked at for such lapses as were found in this one.
In the middle of a simply told story the text repeats with undue emphasis the need of the adopted baby for a home and family. It also refers to the "child placement office" and the accompanying illustration shows a baby in a basket on the floor outside the office. "Child placement" is a difficult term to explain to a literal minded young child. It also looks as if the baby has stayed in the basket outside the office until the right family has come along.

NFL: Broncos at Jacksonville
It's halftime, and the Broncos are leading the Jags 14-0 (and managed to miss a few field goals on the way). Even without Champ Bailey, who was injured in the Chiefs game, the defense has been dominating--brutally stifling the Jags offense through the first part of this game.
In fact, I'm starting to feel sorry for Byron Leftwich, who has taken a touch of abuse in the early going.
Luckily, the offense has been carrying their weight, too. They've moved the ball well, scored a few points, and given the defense the breather that they need in the muggy Florida heat. Anderson has carried the ball well and caught the ball well, Plummer has avoided turnovers and mistakes, and the passing game has been solid. In fact, to this point, the only bad part of the game for Broncos fans has been the kicking game, and the announcers have excused that as being a result of gusting, swirling winds in the stadium.
The Broncos, after losing to the Dolphins and trying to lose to the Chargers, continue to look like one of the better teams in the league.
Update: Of course, the second half has been a much different story. Not a good one for the Broncos fans…

Monday Night Football: Broncos v/ Chiefs in Review
Chiefs fans are wondering whether their team is really that vulnerable and Broncos fans are wondering how the team that could lose so ugly to the Dolphins. The Broncos won 30-10, but the game was even more lopsided than the score indicates.
The Broncos' defense was overpowering throughout the night and Trevor Pryce, in particular, made the Chiefs' offensive line look horrible. No matter where Pryce lined up, no matter who he lined up against, he was getting through and pressuring the quarterback. Even after Bailey left the game early in the second half, the Broncos maintained pressure and coverage--by the end of the game, the Chiefs just looked tired and frustrated.
On offense, the only real standout player was Rod Smith who was catching every ball that came his way--at least until he was knocked out of the game in the second half. Broncos fans are hoping that what looked like a KO and a concussion doesn't end up being a serious injury--a hard helmet-to-helmet hit (not a dirty hit, just one of those things that happens in the flow of the game) left him sprawled out and unmoving for a few minutes.
But even without a lot of standout players, the Broncos' offense moved the ball well, scored regularly, and had the Chiefs facing a 17-0 deficit by the end of the first quarter.
So, are the Broncos as good as they looked tonight? Will they be able to win on the road? How bad are the injuries to Bailey and Smith? A game like this feels great to watch--and then the reality sits in: what, precisely, did this game mean?
Whatever the answer, tonight the Broncos dominated tonight.

Monday Night Football: The Rolling Stones Edition
So, disquietude concerning neo-con oriented rock music aside, how sad was the Rolling Stones' appearance on Monday Night Football. Not only are the Stones old, tired, and, if the reading of the TelePrompTer was any indicator, slipping slowly into senility, they look old, tired, and as if they were slowly slipping into senility. If that song is any indicator of the quality of the rest of the album, they haven't managed to regain any relevance with this new release, either.
Anyway, they all reminded me unpleasantly of that old guy in the gym locker-room the other day. I shudder at the thought.

San Diego at Denver: Early Returns
The Broncos aren't looking as bad as they did last week against the Dolphins, but, then, that would be a hard feat to accomplish two weeks in a row. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be doing enough to beat the Chargers.
The offense had a few, early sustained drives, but the defense is looking as sad as they did at the end of the game last week. The defense simply isn't stopping the Chargers on third (even in long situations) and rarely stopping them on second. So far, where I was happy to blame last week's game mostly on the offense (minus Mike Anderson's fumble on the two yard line), the defense needs to do something to help themselves this time around.
LT's first touchdown, a 16 yard sweep off of a misdirection, was as ugly as it could get for the Broncos--no one even seemed to notice that he was alone and strolling into the endzone. His second touchdown looked easy (if not quite as easy).
So, as of this writing, the Broncs are down 14-3 and looking like last week may have left some ugly scars on their will to win.
Update: Of course, about as soon as I say that, the defense really starts to come alive.
Which is nice.
And the offense is sputtering.
Which is less nice.

Monday Night Football: The Stupid Player Edition (Updated)
A half hour before game time, Jeremiah Trotter and Kevin Mathis got into a physical confrontation and were ejected from the game. Again, they were ejected from the game before the game started.
Some of the ESPN commentators are arguing that Trotter, who apparently didn't throw a punch, shouldn't have been ejected from the game. That's stupid: any player who is dumb enough to get into that kind of an altercation in front of a ref deserves to be tossed from the game. In fact, it's better that the refs make a stand on a game like this--where the emotions are already getting the best of the players--and make sure that the players understand that fighting and provocation aren't going to be accepted.
Both of them are idiots and both of them deserved the ejection.
Makes for an awfully funny pre-game show, though.
Update: I hope TO's bad night continues, because he is looking pretty unremarkable. As much as I like McNabb, as much as I don't really care who wins this game, I do harbor a growing grudge against Terrell Owens. I hope his season starts to look a little like this first quarter has looked for him: disappointing.

Denver Broncos v/ Miami Dolphins, II
The story of the game for the Denver Broncos:
1- A defense that was left hanging out to dry by the Broncos offense. By the third quarter, the defense had lost the will to tackle because they had been out on the field for far too long. The offense couldn't put together sustained drives--for that matter, the offense had a hell of a time just coming up with first downs.
2- Injuries. Mike Anderson and Champ Bailey both went out early--and it didn't stop there. A defense that was already wilting looked mortally wounded as the secondary was reduced to backups and rookies.
3- Dropped passes. Plummer's passing wasn't particularly sharp throughout the game, but there were far too many dropped passes in vital situations--moments where the ball was in a receiver's hands and just fell to the ground. In fact, Shanahan's Gumpian brain-dead moment came after a receiver dropped a ball in the end zone. If the receiver had caught the ball, it would have meant a Denver lead and Shanahan being saved from his own decision making.
4- Bad execution. The Broncos looked lethargic and weak all day. The Dolphins D played better than expected, but the Broncos' offense made it easy for them.
5- Bad coaching. Enough said in that previous post.
Writing this with over ten minutes left in the game, the Broncos could still win. But they sure as hell wouldn't have earned the win.
The story of the game, no matter the outcome, is that the Broncos were outplayed, unprepared, and simply bad on a day where they should have been right in the game.

Denver Broncos v/ Miami Dolphins
Mike Shanahan has completely lost his mind. With a 4th and goal from the two yard line, down 6-0, Shanahan has the team go for the touchdown. The running game isn't clicking, the passing game is nearly non-existent, and, of course, the 4th down attempt fails.
Horrible decision to make midway through the second quarter.
Denver could still win this game because Dolphin is uneven, but this was Shanahan's coaching at its absolute worst.
Update: Funny enough, on their next possession, Denver has to settle for a Jason Elam field goal--three points that would have tied the game up if Shanahan had made a better decision just a few minutes earlier.

Football Thoughts Heading Into the Season
1. Doesn't John Lynch look like a caricature of a 40's era version of Superman? I think it has something to do with the jaw.
2. Doesn't Jake Plummer look like a caricature of a 70's era stoner? I think it has something to do with the hair.
3. Everyone thinks that the Broncos' defensive problems were related to bad pass coverage last year. I disagree: the problem was a weakened pass rush. Hopefully the return of Trevor Pryce will help the situation.
4. This should be Shanahan's make or break year. It's been a little too long that the Broncos have been visiting the playoffs without any happy results.
5. Which is a shame for him because it looks like the other teams in the AFC West got a little better a little faster than the Broncs. They could find themselves struggling in a competitive division.
6. How does the season work out for the Saints? They aren't a team that I normally care about, but your heart just has to go out to them in the same way that it goes out to all the people who have had their lives disrupted by Katrina.
Sure, their salaries will make it easier for them in some ways, but they lost homes and photo albums and keepsakes and peace of mind just like everyone else. They have to figure out where to live and how to rebuild their worlds just live everyone else.
There's nothing easy about that, even with the big paycheck.
7. The Broncos go 9-7 on the season. They aren't a bad team, but you can count on some bad things happening: a key injury, a bad luck moment, or a few games where players just don't show up. They'll show enough promise to break fans' hearts by the end of their season.
8. Which is still miles better than the Colorado Rockies have managed in years.
9. Is there a team in the league with more depth at running back than the Broncos? Anderson, Bell, and Dayne could be a killer trio this year.
10. I hope my pessimism is misplaced. I try to be honest about "my" team's shortfalls, but I still bleed predominantly orange and blue. Go Broncos!

Lawrence Phillips: The Funny Side of Abject Failure
Lawrence Phillips, the stand-out running back from the University of Nebraska who never managed to make his talent overwhelm his constant off-field issues, continues to be precisely the person he was in college. That is, about as screwed up as you can be without having already ended up in prison for life.
So, get this: while wanted for domestic violence charges and while driving a car that had been reported stolen, Phillips ran over a few teenagers in a park after arguing with them about an informal football game.
His failure in the NFL would have been sad if Phillips wasn't so deserving of falling on his face. As far as three teenagers getting run over by a sad, ruined former football player can be funny, this is funny to me. Not necessarily as funny as Ricky Williams' return to the game after an extended smoke break, but strangely entertaining to realize that Phillips' criminal career has been far more consistent then his pro football career ever was.

So, About Ricky Williams
It must be hard to be a Dolphins fan right now. Ricky Williams, a man who let down his teammates and fans in a big way, is back with the team.
Was it that he missed the game? That he renewed his love for football? Or was it that Williams realized, when the Dolphins started asking for the signing bonus back, that he might not actually be able to afford all the bags of weed that he was really looking forward to in his extended off season?
See, the tough part for the fans has to be the desire to tell the guy to take his doobie and go rot in hell--second chances after abandonment are always a little tough. The fact is, though, that after last year's disastrous outing, you'd have to believe that the Dolphins will be a better team with Williams in the backfield. They need a good running back and Williams is talented (if unreliable).
To all those Dolphins fans out there: I feel for you. You can't help but wonder just how long his newfound commitment might last.

Cameraman you seriously need to shut up, your totally ruining the mood and an otherwise good movie!

Watching a guy take another guy's load in his mouth and then swallowing is just about as hot as it gets for me. I wonder if that cameraman seriously thinks that anyone gives a shit about his comments.
I watched it with the sound off and it was hot.
nice hot video......
I don't like films where the men are more interested in what's showing on the TV screen - hetero porn - than in eachother. If they're not into man on man sex they just shouldn't be there: they are betraying their own sexualities and the film producers are exploiting them and that isn't pleasant to watch.
To the filmmakers: TURN OFF THE FUCKING TV AND SHOW JAKE'S DICK ENTERING LANDON'S ASS!!!! OH yeah, TELL THE FUCKING CAMERAMAN TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

COLUMBIA - As the S.C. State Ethics Commission formulates a new policy aimed at how it should deal with the media, the commission's chairman on Wednesday temporarily restricted the panel's communications with reporters.
A prominent media attorney called the move unlawful.
Commission Chairman James Burns said that until an official policy is adopted - a proposal is expected to be considered in September - only Executive Director Herb Hayden may speak with the media. The commission, appointed by Gov. Nikki Haley, oversees campaign finances and can levy penalties for a range of ethics matters for the governor and other state and local officials.
Generally, deputy counsel Cathy Hazelwood has answered media questions, and has often been forthright with the media on legal issues regarding the state Ethics Act.
Media attorney Jay Bender said Burns' move to change the policy without a motion, discussion or vote was against the state's open records laws.
"That's a change in policy," Bender said. "Without a motion and a vote, that would be illegal."
He added: "If we had more people in government like Cathy Hazelwood, we'd have a better government."
Bill Rogers, the executive director of the South Carolina Press Association, said other state agencies have used the implementation of a media policy to muzzle staffers and slow the release of information. Other media policies appoint "a central person who spins and controls the process," Rogers said.
Burns and Hayden said in an interview after the meeting that the new policy was not aimed at Hazelwood. Burns said that he wants the new commission members and staff to have a media policy in place to ensure the body is fair to all involved. "We don't want to give the impression that Cathy as the prosecutor is predisposed on any particular action on any particular case," Hayden said. "You don't want the prosecutor making a statement what they're going to do one way or another."
Hazelwood declined to comment.
Burns said nothing specific he had seen in media reports prompted the review. Burns also said that he consulted with Hayden before announcing the temporary change in media policy that all requests for comment be directed to Hayden. Hayden generally sets policy for the organization and helped do so in this case, Burns said.
"That's what Jay Bender is not focusing on," Burns said.
He stressed that the implementation of a media policy does not mean the agency plans to restrict access to the agency. "I'm a very strong advocate for being open, being transparent," Burns said.
Burns has asked Hayden to report on how other state agencies handle media requests, a policy that is expected to be discussed at the commission's September meeting.

Flowerchi Bhaji
Seeing all the Maharashtrian recipes with goda masala going around for the RCI this month, I couldn't wait to try something myself. Here is a recipe for a simple bhaji that tastes really, really good. This is also my entry for RCI Maharashtra hosted by Nupur. Thanks Nupur. Thanks also to Lakshmi for starting this event. I'm not sure if cauliflower is called gobi in Marathi. If it's different, please let me know. For now, I'm calling it gobichi bhaji! :)
Updated to Flower chi bhaji, thanks to Nupur! :)
1 medium cauliflower (cut into florets)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chilly powder
1 tbsp Goda Masala (I used Bedekar's)
1/4 cup water
salt to taste
2 Tbsp oil
Heat oil. Add jeera and let it sizzle a bit. Add turmeric and onion and fry for a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and cook on medium low heat until the cauliflower is cooked through.
Updated on Feb 23, 2009 - This is also my entry for JFI-Cauliflower, hosted by Mythreyee of Paajaka. Jihva for Ingredients or JFI is the event started by Indira of Mahanandi.

Baby and Cat
Ginger and Little M a few months ago when Ginger could sit and relax, secure in the knowledge that M could only look, not touch.
Ginger and M these days, with M chasing Ginger all over the room.
But of course, they love to play with each other too! :)
