If my house was burning down, I'd try to lug every single skillet in my kitchen out the door with me (after first making sure my husband and dogs were safe, of course…) Sure, if you ask my husband, I have a few too many pans. But they all serve a purpose (and it's great to have a few extra on hand when I'm entertaining or developing recipes). I'm not advocating that anyone take up collecting skillets like I do, but it is good to have a variety for different tasks. If you're wondering which pans you should have on hand in your kitchen, here are 5 tips from the EatingWell Test Kitchen to help you choose.

9 Must-Have Products for a Healthy Kitchen [10]
1. Choose the right size pan for the job.
I have a variety of skillet sizes so I have the right size pan for the cooking task at hand. If you're sautéing, it's important to have a large enough pan for the amount of food you're cooking. If you try to sauté in a pan that's too crowded, the food will just steam. And that defeats the purpose of sauteing, since the best part about sautéed food is the delicious caramelized bits that form where the food makes contact with the pan! Cook in batches if necessary. I like small skillets for melting butter, toasting nuts and cooking my morning egg, but I tend to use a large skillet for most everything else. (The only medium skillet I have came in the set I bought—I rarely use it.)

2. Invest in stainless steel.
I love using stainless-steel pans because they're strong, durable and versatile. If you're going to drop any substantial money on a pan, let it be on the workhorse of the kitchen—a 12-inch stainless-steel skillet.

3. Use a nonreactive pan when cooking acidic foods.
When you cook acidic foods, such as tomatoes, lemons or cranberries, make sure to use a nonreactive pan, such as stainless-steel, enamel-coated or glass. Reactive pans, such as aluminum and cast-iron, can impart an off color and/or off flavor in acidic foods.
4. Cook with less fat by using nonstick pans.
Nonstick skillets are great because you can use less oil and because delicate foods, such as fish or eggs, won't stick to the pan or break apart. When you cook in a nonstick skillet, use nonstick-safe utensils, such as a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon—metal utensils will damage the nonstick surface. Don't heat an empty skillet or cook over high heat, because the nonstick coating may break down at high temperatures and release potentially toxic fumes. For an alternative to conventional nonstick cookware, look for pans marketed under names like "green cookware" or "eco-friendly cookware" that are made with a nonstick coating that won't break down when used over high heat. A cast-iron skillet is a good alternative to nonstick skillets for many recipes.

5. You can keep your aluminum pans.
While old research linked high aluminum intake with Alzheimer's disease, subsequent studies on aluminum pots are few and circumstantial, and studies on antiperspirants and other aluminum-containing products are similarly slim. Today, most experts believe that aluminum's role, if any, is small—and that diet and even crossword puzzles are far better places to focus anti-dementia energies.
What pan couldn't you live without?

I've mentioned it here before on this blog, but I want to make this absolutely clear: I'm not a technologist. I'm a marketing person. And when I say "marketing," I don't mean product marketing. Rather, I lean more towards the marcoms side. But that doesn't – and shouldn't – mean that I don't know anything about the technology surrounding me or have an interest in it. Quite to the contrary, I believe that in order to effectively "market" something, one must have at the very minimum at least a cursory knowledge of the trappings behind it. So it's in this vein that I bring you this blog post on LTE.

In spite of this, viewers should only focused on the news, quotes, and other content under "Confirmed", as it was made clear that the content under "Rumor/Speculation" shouldn't be taken as fact, for now, as neither Disney nor Bruckheimer confirmed any of them.
And word of warning: I have modified this info in an updated version of this blog, so there may be some changes or additional stuff from the cast and crew about P5.
Note: The cross on "
- Jack Sparrow
Ahoy Pirates fans! To follow the anniversary blogs posted in the last few weeks, I'm pretty sure some of you would like a blog about the potential Pirates of the Caribbean 5, especially after the announcements made in the past few months. This blog is a rundown of everything we know about a possible fifth film in the Pirates series based on all the statements, hints, rumors and speculations released so far.
Ever since before the release of the fourth film, On Stranger Tides, there had been many whisperings and rumors regarding a fifth Pirates on the horizon. Among the talk were uncertainties, such as when filming would take place or who would return. Pirates 5 was first brought into question (and semi-confirmed by producer Jerry Bruckheimer) when Entertainment Tonight reporter Mark Steines visited the On Stranger Tides set while an action sequence was being shot at the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot in summer 2010. [1]
- STEINES: Does it stop at 4? Does it go to 5? Do you see a 6?
- BRUCKHEIMER: Well, if people show up for 4, we'll certainly try and do a 5. We're already working on a story, laid out some kind of interesting beats, things we'd like to see in 5. So that's where our writers are working.
In January 2011, Johnny Depp told Entertainment Weekly that he would be interested doing a fifth film and be happy to play Captain Jack Sparrow again, "As long as we can put all the puzzle pieces together, I would most definitely consider it," he said. [2] In an interview, Kevin McNally (Joshamee Gibbs) stated that a fall 2012 production start was possible. He also said that, because of the financial success of On Stranger Tides, Rob Marshall may return to direct. ultimately said, "I don't know. All these things are up in the air." [3] Of course things soon changed.
Writing a Script
Since January 2011, it was reported that veteran writer Terry Rossio would write the screenplay for Pirates 5, but without Ted Elliott, his co-writer who helped write the previous films.[4] Over the course of two years, producer Jerry Bruckheimer showed progress (mostly via Facebook and Formspring). On October 2011, while talking about the budget on Disney's The Lone Ranger, Bruckheimer confirmed they were in the outline phase and that rewrites were underway. [5] On October 24, Jerry Bruckheimer tweeted the following:
- #PiratesoftheCaribbean screenwriter Terry Rossio doing his usual phenomenal work on P5 [6]
Over the next year or so, there had been no solid word on where the project was in development, only that the film was still being written, and that Rob Marshall was to return to direct.[7]
Writer and Release Date
On January 11, 2013, it was reported that Jeff Nathanson had been hired to write a screenplay.[8] Jeff Nathanson's other works include the Rush Hour sequels, Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal, and The Last Shot, and has also co-written a story draft for the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with George Lucas. More recently, he's done Tower Heist and Men in Black 3. To this date, it is unclear whether or not Nathanson was to work from Terry Rossio's draft or as a page one rewrite.
Days later, on January 14, Janelle Tipton of the Walt Disney Studios shared some release dates. Chief among them, Pirates of the Caribbean 5 was set for July 10, 2015. According to the Official Disney Blog, the film will have Johnny Depp return to his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow, and it'll be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The blog further confirms that the screenplay will be written by Jeff Nathanson. [9]
New Directors
On May 2013, Deadline reported that Disney was close to choosing a director. Of the directors mentioned, there were three that were on the short list: Fredrik Bond, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, and Rupert Sanders. [10] On May 29, it was announced that Rønning and Sandberg would be direct
and that they would prep the movie for a late year or early January start. [11]
Current Status
On June 2013, producer Jerry Bruckheimer praised the new directors, where their last project Kon-Tiki was mentioned. "We saw their movie early on, maybe six months ago, and I saw some of their other work, which I thought was terrific. That convinced me. They were interested in doing it and they flew over and we showed them a script that we were working on and they had really amazing ideas." The producer also gave the status of the franchise, saying that the two came to Hollywood and started work on it. "We're hiring production designers now and it's moving forward." Bruckheimer also said that Pirates 5 would maintain the mixture of high seas adventure and supernatural horror, and confirmed where part of the movie will be filmed at. "We're certainly going to be filming in Louisiana because of the tax breaks and I think there might be a sequence there," Bruckheimer said. Before quickly adding: "But it will also be set in the Caribbean, obviously." [12]
On July 2013, near the release of Disney's The Lone Ranger,
Bruckheimer said they plan on filming "end of this year, beginning of next year." He also hinted the film would explore brand new and exciting horizons. Asked what he believes audiences want, Bruckheimer said, "We don't know what they want." Bruckheimer added, "We try to go by our gut and figure out what's exciting; where haven't we traveled in the past." [13]
As with many releases, there will be rumors and speculations about Pirates of the Caribbean 5, and it may be impossible to try and list all them. I will, however, present the much-viewed and most discussed rumors.
so take it all with a grain of salt.
On November 19, 2010, On Stranger Tides finished filming and entered post-production.
Just weeks later, HitFix reported that Disney had already begun plans for Pirates 5 and 6. The news suggested that Disney was supposedly to shoot these proposed Pirates sequels back-to-back as with Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. [14] But, as written on top, Bruckheimer only spoke of a fifth film to Entertainment Tonight. In June 2012, writer Terry Rossio debunked the ongoing rumor by saying there won't be a Pirates 6 until after a potential Pirates 5 is made. He said that everybody involved is taking these one movie at a time. [15]
Cast and Crew
Some of the new cast of On Stranger Tides expressed interest in reprising their roles, including Sam Claflin (Philip Swift) [16], Astrid Bergès-Frisbey (Syrena) [17], and Stephen Graham (Scrum) [18]. Even Judi Dench (Society Lady)[19] and Greg Ellis (Theodore Groves)[20] had interest in returning.
Now regarding main key cast members. As of September 2012, Penélope Cruz (Angelica) admitted that she had not heard anything or read a script. [21] Keith Richards (Captain Teague) said he has the costume and would return for the fifth film, saying "I'll wait for a call from Johnny." [22]
Despite Joshamee Gibbs having survived the events of On Stranger Tides and was last seen in Captain Jack's company, Kevin McNally was philosophical when the topic of the pending sequel came up. "Who knows. Gibbs could get eaten by some off-screen sea beast between Pirates 4 and Pirates 5." McNally continued, "Don't get me wrong. I love making these movies. I love working with two consummate professional gentlemen like Mr. Rush and Mr. Depp. But I'm not the one who gets to decide here if my character comes back or not. That said, I do hope that they bring Mr. Gibbs back. He seems to be the only sensible character in the Pirates series. Plus Gibbs usually occupies a very important role in these stories. He's the one who typically questions Captain Jack's motives. Which makes this character a very useful device, at least when it comes to clarifying key plot points for the audience." [23]
As for Geoffrey Rush (Hector Barbossa), fans already know what happened to the character at the end. But what happens afterwards? Rush loved the way the writers managed to give an evolution to the character. The most popular theory, or at least in his perspective, are focused on Barbossa possibly becoming the villain again, given the way things leave off in On Stranger Tides. [24] Rush also said that Barbossa's megalomania "could explode in horrific ways." [25] Though he also said that the script had to be in good shape before making the film. But when it will go, Rush could only say "I know nothing." [26]
New or Returning Cast?
Of course there will be new cast members, but one wonders who is interested. One that stands out includes Robert Downey Jr. (which was covered in a previous blog). But considering the news didn't break out, this could more than likely be just a conversation between celebrity and fan rather than official interest.
We already covered returning cast members of On Stranger Tides, but what about the original Pirates trilogy? Of course there was a rather big rumor (which is covered below). For now, though, we'll be speaking about known actors interested that didn't make it to news articles, such as Lee Arenberg (Pintel). When speaking at the Farpoint Star Trek Convention in Timonium, Maryland, Arenberg revealed that he was sad that he couldn't return for the fourth Pirates film.[28] From there and posting on Twitter, Arenberg had shown interest in returning for Pirates 5. [29] While it's not official, it's not impossible either, as many fans have missed both Pintel and his cohort Ragetti. The two characters were also considered to make an appearance in On Stranger Tides, but director Rob Marshall opted out of the idea as he feared their roles would be cut. [30]
Orlando Bloom
Pirates fans already know what happened to Will Turner at the end of At World's End, though his ultimate fate being controversial to some. But was it a real goodbye? Orlando Bloom, who portrayed Will Turner in the original Pirates trilogy, passed on returning in the fourth Pirates movie so that he could spend more time with his girlfriend at the time, and now wife, Miranda Kerr. In fact, Bloom gave multiple quotes stating that he was happy to move on from the character, perceiving that Will Turner's storyline had tied up nicely in the third film, so far as to say Will was "sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean." [31]
In October 2011, while being interviewed for The Three Musketeers, Orlando Bloom stated that, if offered, he would be happy to return: "I was quite sad not to be in the fourth and I really miss working on them. If they said they wanted me back, of course I'd do it. It's great to see the franchise still doing so well."[32]
On September 2012, there was an erroneous report surfaced that said Pirates 5 would be using the equally-tropical terrain of Puerto Rico, though Disney was quick to confirm that the aforesaid story is inaccurate and that the movie is still in development. [33] Shortly after, Clint Morris (Caffeinated Clint) of Moviehole reported that a "separate Disney contact" gave this one-line response:
- "Will Turner's story might not be finished..." [34]
The answer is very cryptic. This new rumor contradicts all previous news of Will Turner's story being over,[35] though it does seem far off because of Will's story reportedly being over, as aforementioned. Despite this, it implies that Will Turner's story may continue, but doesn't confirm on if it's for a full-length movie or maybe a short film (a la Tales of the Code: Wedlocked). It could even be Disney's tease of a possible Pirates television series, as producer Jerry Bruckheimer was interested in the idea, mentions that Tim Tyler's Luck, based on the comic book, is one of his favorite old movie serials. [36] But with Bloom's recent statement and Disney's intention to keep the Pirates franchise alive, we can only guess what is going on right now.
From the Revenge to the Black Pearl?
With the help of production designer Rick Heinrichs, the Sunset was a ship chosen for use in the Pirates sequels; the ship portrayed the Black Pearl in the second and third film, while later reconstructed as the Queen Anne's Revenge in the fourth film. The Sunset was docked into Long Beach, California from Oahu, Hawaii where On Stranger Tides was filmed, waiting for her call up. [37] But by January, 2013, the Sunset was anchored in Puerto Rico. [38]
Most of you may be wondering some things. Why is the Sunset in Puerto Rico? Will it remain as the Revenge or be reconstructed back as the Pearl? No one knows for sure, not even if the Sunset will return in Pirates 5. All that is currently known, again, as stated above, is that the ship's waiting for her next call up.
Terry Rossio and others
Veteran writer Terry Rossio was originally writing the script for Pirates 5, and had been reported as writer for years. Of all the news that stood out, actor Geoffrey Rush said that, when asked if any new aspect of the pirate world were to be explored, "I have a feeling from what Terry said that he might explore things that aren't necessarily pirates-based. He'll put them into dramatic situations that aren't necessarily pirate-driven." [39] But whether that idea was dropped or even considered, is unknown.
It later emerged on January 2013, that Jeff Nathanson would write the screenplay. This made people think that Rossio either had a new writing partner, or that he was replaced altogether. Following the reports and the big confusion amongst the fan community, Rossio was directly asked whether or not he was still involved in the project on his official website, Wordplay. His reply was that it was "a case of Shroedinger's Cat. The answer is either yes or no, and the box hasn't been opened yet." [40]
The answers are very cryptic. However, as of Summer 2013, Pirates 5 remains listed on Wordplay's filmography. The following is written under "Projects In Development":[41]
- PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5 -- (Shared screenplay with Jeff Nathanson) Distributed by: Disney Studios. Executive Producers: Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, Terry Rossio. Produced by: Jerry Bruckheimer. July 10, 2015
- PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5 -- (Screenplay by: Jeff Nathanson) Distributed by: Disney Studios. Executive Producers: Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, Terry Rossio. Produced by: Jerry Bruckheimer. Directed by: Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.
Assuming this post remains online, Pirates 5 will see the return of Mike Stenson and Chad Oman as executive producers. This also leaves the door open for Terry Rossio to have some credit, if not being more involved as a returning writer or, as of On Stranger Tides, executive producer of the fifth film.
As you may know, most of On Stranger Tides was filmed in the Hawaiian islands of Kauai and Oahu. On April 25, 2013, Pacific Business News had reported that several films had plans to film in Hawaii. It was "hinted" that Pirates franchise would come back for the fifth film. [42]
Production starting in Puerto Rico?
According to El Nuevo Diario, work on Pirates 5 is to start in September 2013, taking place in the Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Ceiba, Puerto Rico. The article suggests that Disney will do most of the filming in said town because they have at their disposal docks and ample space to recreate a village with several taverns. The base isolated environment is ideal also for sequences that require the use of explosives and demolition of structures built for the film. The construction process to create the atmosphere in Roosevelt Roads require at least three months, so the cast won't begin filming until early 2014. [43]
Plot and Title?
Throughout the four films, Captain Jack Sparrow had embarked on a number of grand adventures, most recently after the fabled Fountain of Youth. As one adventure ends, the far-off horizon beckons with promises of new treasures to be had. While the exact nature of Jack's next venture is still tightly under wraps, there have been whisperings and rumors that it may involve some fantastical. One of the more popular fan theories regarding the plot for the sequel are focused around finding Atlantis. For now, all we can do is speculate based on what we know so far.
There have been many fan-made titles, such as "Treasure of the Lost Abyss" which has persisted for years.[44] However, we might get a new title in the Pirates franchise before the end of the year, or as part of the next financial year. The most likely event for such an announcement would be either be Comic-con or even the D23 Expo in August 2013. For now, we can only hope.
OK, I'm sure fans who follow movies news will ask: do you think Pirates 5 will be affected by The Lone Ranger? Well, that is a difficult thing to answer. The Hollywood Reporter noted that producer Jerry Bruckheimer may face a budget renegotiation on the planned Pirates 5. [45] But will this still hold up true? We don't know. There is hope that it may not because Pirates is a fairly popular franchise. Also consider that there were two movies made under Disney and Bruckheimer that also faced critical reception (Prince of Persia and The Sorceror's Apprentice). But again, Pirates is fairly popular, so we can be optimistic.
That's pretty much all that was covered on the world wide web. Right now, there is supposedly still no approved script for the film,
tentatively set for 2015, though Johnny Depp and Jerry Bruckheimer are set to return with directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg. Any further announcements (such as plot synopsis or cast) could take place in the next several months. But as always, remember that none of these rumors have been confirmed by Disney or Bruckheimer, so take it all with a grain of salt. Visit official Disney websites or Jerry Bruckheimer's sites for more news and updates.
On Stranger Tides left us with several questions, some that may not be answered at all. How will Jack get his beloved Black Pearl out the bottle? Will Barbossa learn that Jack has the Pearl? And will Philip and Syrena take part in Jack's adventure? And what about Angelica having the Voodoo doll? The only certain thing is that the far-off horizon beckons with promises of new treasures to be had. Let's hope to know more about it in a few months, maybe during Comic-con or maybe the next D23 Expo in
December August 2013.
To quote Captain Jack himself, One can only hope. Stay tuned for more updates!

Use Vidrack Video As Your Video Contest Software
Your browser doesn't support Adobe Flash, sorry.
Please install Adobe Flash plugin. Get Flash Player.
Everyone likes contests, well at least most of us do. They are exciting, they are emotional, and they tend to motivate us to behave in a specific manner. When you were a kid, you probably remember some contest for a new bike, a school play, battle of the bands, or a trip to somewhere exotic. Do you remember how emotional it made you? Do you remember how you just had to participate in the contest, no matter what! Do you remember the excitement, and anxiety, you had when the outcome was announced? Then, if you had any luck, do you remember the pure elation when you were announced as the winner? Or the sadness and despair from losing, with the renewed hope for the next contest. It was a bit of an emotional roller coaster ride!
Taping into the power of contests can be overwhelmingly rewarding, not just emotionally, but financially as well. Think about how many leads you can generate by launching a contest. Think about how fast a great contest can spread by word of mouth. Think about how many new people will hear about your brand…
Video takes contests up a notch. Video adds an emotional element to the medium you are using. It let's you transmit, and capture emotion, in the most effective medium to date. Think about the last time you read something that made you emotional. I bet, for most of us, this doesn't happen as often as it would if we were watching a video. Think about the last time your friend sent you a text. Did it have the same impact that it would if you received it as a video? Have you tried Snapchat yet? Your friends can send you all sorts of silly videos. I can't help but laugh when they do. I often find a video of my friends doing something silly far more entertaining then a text description of their shenanigans…
The best part of a video contest, is being able to capture these emotions. Getting excited people, generating video content for you, can have phenomenal impact on your bottom line. Most people live very boring lives, and they are constantly searching for excitement. Even if they won't admit it! If you can add, even an ounce of, excitement to their lives, you will lighten up their day!

New Delhi, July 23: When parade commander Colonel Pandherkar invites Pratibha Patil to inspect the guard of honour as President for the first time on Wednesday, he will do so in gender-neutral fashion.
On other occasions, commanders of guards of honour have been known to march up smartly to the dignitary, click their heels hard and shout in Hindi: Shrimaan, antar-seva samman guard aapke nirikshan ke liye tayyar hain (Sir, the inter-services guard of honour is ready for your inspection). The option is to address the new President as Shrimati,.
But parade commanders are at liberty to choose the form of address to the President. They may choose not to address but to speak. Colonel Pandherkar is not known to address the President as Sir or Madam but simply as Rashtrapati, keeping to perfect protocol and according due respect. It is a practice followed by the armed forces in guards of honour to foreign heads of state irrespective of their gender.
In the elaborate military ritual for the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces when A.P.J. Abdul Kalam steps out and Patil steps into Rashtrapati Bhavan as the first woman President, there is nothing that will be a departure from protocol.
Colonel Pandherkar, the commanding officer of 6 Assam, the army battalion attached to Rashtrapati Bhavan for ceremonial duties, is unlikely to use any form of address to the President. He will say simply that the guard is ready for the President to be escorted through its ranks and take the salute.
Nor will there be any hint that the military staff of the President will see more women included. But the army has begun a quiet hunt for lady officers to be ADCs.
A thousand soldiers of the army, navy and air force will line the route from the main gates of Rashtrapati Bhavan to Parliament House on Wednesday morning. But before that, President-elect Pratibha Patil will be escorted from her residence in Delhi to Rashtrapati Bhavan without much ceremony.
In the library of the Rashtrapati Bhavan annexe, she will be received and greeted by President Kalam. The two will then emerge from the building to take the salute of the Presidents bodyguard. Here, the commandant of the bodyguard, Colonel Mehmood, is likely to invite Kalam by saying: Rashtrapati, aapka angrakshak aapke nirikshan ke liye tayyar hain (President, your bodyguard is ready for the inspection).
The ceremonial cavalcade will begin after that. Escorted by the Presidents bodyguard dressed in ceremonial regalia and mounted on horseback, the limousine with Kalam and Patil will drive through the rows of soldiers 700 from the army, 150 from the air force and 150 from the navy to Parliament.
The soldiers would salute a 1,000-man salute as the cavalcade passes through the gates, down Raisina Hill, takes the left turn at Vijay Chowk and reach Parliament house. There would be 30 officers among the soldiers. On the evidence of the dress rehearsal on Sunday, not one of them would be a woman from the services. The 1,000-man salute would be organised by the armys Delhi area command headed by Major General K.G.S. Oberoi.
President Kalam would be in the left passengers seat of the limousine and Pratibha Patil on the right during the drive to Parliament. On the drive back from Parliament, the order would be reversed. The custom indicates that the President should be nearest to the entrance of Parliament when the car parks.
Inside Parliament, after Pratibha Patil takes the oath, Kalam and Patil will exchange seats because that indicates she is now the President. At that moment, the army will give a 21-gun salute. Old field guns somewhere in Lutyens Delhi will fire blanks 21 times to boom the message that India has a new President.
The two will leave after the national anthem in Parliament. This time, Pratibha Patil will be in the left passengers seat of the limousine. The cavalcade will return to Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The new President will walk to the forecourt of her palace for the guard of honour which Colonel Pandherkar will invite her to inspect. Pratibha Patil will then escort Kalam to the point where he will take his car and leave Rashtrapati Bhavan
Escorted by nine outriders, Kalam will head for a small bungalow in the Delhi cantonment. The temporary residence at 26 The Mall is an army guest-house. It is a house with a single bedroom and a kitchenette. About five hours later, Kalam will fly to Chennai.
In the meantime, the ceremonial and welfare cell in army headquarters will be scrutinising its lists to prepare for a turnover of the military staff attached to Rashtrapati Bhavan. The President has five ADCs three from the army and one each from the navy and the air force. In a few weeks, the personnel change will begin and Indias first woman President will count among her staff Indias first woman ADC.

I am walking into a play, my most highly anticipated production of the year – Ivo Van Hove's adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's 1973 film Scenes from a Marriage at New York Theater Workshop in the East Village. Obviously Bergman is a cinematic legend; he's also my personal favorite artist. Van Hove's stage adaptations tend to have a very different aesthetic than the films upon which they are based, but they are colored with the same emotional hysteria that deeply affected me when first watching Persona at the impressionable age of 20. Years later, Persona still takes my breath away. In […]by Taylor Hess on Nov 18, 2014
The Sundance sale. The turning point of the festival for more than just the expected filmmakers and distributors can, at times, be an inscrutable transaction. Is X the best fit for Y?

Blue Velvet remains a masterpiece of American cinema – one of the defining films of the 1980s, and arguably still director David Lynch's best work (personally, I actually slightly prefer Lost Highway, but I've become gradually fatigued over the years with people looking at me like I'm insane when I divulge that) – and it still retains every bit of its power today. But to have seen it upon its original 1986 release was like experiencing a bomb going off inside the theater.

For the three-year-old FilmNation, the 2011 Cannes Film Festival is a big deal. That's not just because the company's market slate is substantial, containing projects by Terrence Malick, John Hillcoat and, as executive producer, James Cameron, but because the young New York-based sales and production company has, for the first time, two films in the festival. The company is repping both Pedro Almodovar's latest Competition title, The Skin I Live In (pictured above), as well as American indie Jeff Nichol's Sundance hit, Take Shelter, screening in the Critics Week section.

This piece was originally printed in the Spring 2010 issue. Winter's Bone is nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress (Jennifer Lawrence), Best Supporting Actor (John Hawkes) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Debra Granik & Anne Rosellini). The Ozark mountain holler that is the setting for Debra Granik's fierce and extraordinary Winter's Bone seems carved away from much of what signifies as "contemporary America" in cinema today. The movie, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance this year, dwells in a landscape that imbues it with the starkness of classic Western frontier drama. Seventeen-year-old Ree Dolly is the single-minded heroine who […]by Scott Macaulay on Feb 14, 2011
Hope is easy to sell, but fear is easier. Billing itself as a "climate change solutions" movie, Peter Byck's Carbon Nation doesn't want you to panic. If fear of the consequences of climate change has been the primary emotional content associated with the slew of climate-themed docs that have found their way to screens in the wake of An Inconvenient Truth, Carbon Nation dwells more on the possibilities that technological innovation, communitarian initiative and an end to political gridlock could have on our world. Time is short, but in Byck's telling, the means to stymie the long-term catastrophes associated with […]by Brandon Harris on Feb 9, 2011

Pulis denies Williams talk
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Tony Pulis insists he is not looking to bring Ipswich midfielder Gavin Williams to Stoke.Tony Pulis insists he is not looking to bring Ipswich Town midfielder Gavin Williams to Stoke City.
Reports have claimed that Williams could be available for £500,000, although Ipswich have moved to play down the rumours.
The former Yeovil Town man has been linked with Stoke, but Pulis revealed he no longer holds an interest.
"There is no new interest," Pulis told the Sentinel. "I know all about him and reckon he's a pretty good player.
"He's got good feet and will come inside to play in the gullies, but we need someone on the left who can get past people and whip some crosses in, like Liam Lawrence does on the right.
"I quite fancied him at Yeovil a season or two back, but it's just a case of looking and needing a different kind of player right now."
Pulis confirmed he is close to finalising deals to bring a couple of new players to The Britannia Stadium before the start of the season.
He added to the club's official website: "We have got one or two players who are close to signing for us.
"But close means nothing; until they sign on the dotted line nothing is concrete. We are looking for players in every area of the pitch, from front to back.
"We know exactly what we want and who we want, and know we have to hope that one or two things drop for us."

Oribe Signature Moisture Masque Reviews
Oribe Signature Moisture Masque is a Priceless SplurgeThe Oribe product line is the Mercedes of haircare, making Bumble & Bumble and Frederick Fekkai look as though they offer fully-loaded Kias. Oribe is the real deal. You pay a premium, but it is well worth the luxury. I received a complimentary sample at Neiman Marcus with my purchases about a month back and have been using it ever since. In my experience, this product is revolutionary. My hair is...read more intensely moisturized, but not weighed down. It is manageable and shiny,yet without any styling tools. When I do put a styling tool up to my locks, I witness a cloud of steam, which evidences how much moisture is really retained as a result of using the product. The smell of this intense conditioner is extremely mild. This can be a plus or a minus. It is great that it is inoffensive. Furthermore, many fragrances tend to dry hair out. However, for the price I would like the luxury of a pleasant fragrance during use and that lingers thereafter. Overall, I highly recommend this splurge. Because the product is highly concentrated you will use a great deal less than you would other products. Moreover, the result of healthy, youthful hair will reveal itself instantly and last well over a week after you stop using the product. Luxury is essential and great hair is priceless. — 2 years, 9 months agoelegantesquire | 1 reviews

BJP's manifesto for the 2014 general elections is yet to be declared. Some say, with a powerful leadership, the BJP seems to be avoiding it manifesto. According to the reports, the manifesto is delayed as party's PM candidate Narendra Modi stamp not yet okayed. Some last minute changes have been suggested by Modi, but senior leaders are not being able to free themselves from campaigns. It has been said that the party may now miss the first phase of polling on May 7.
Update: Meanwhile, senior BJP leader Balbir Punj has said that Narendra Modi is addressing rallies everyday, whatever he says in the rallies, is essentially what the BJP manifesto is. So who needs a manifesto? Do you?

I seen this recently somewhere on here where someone had posted their first cake to show their progress and it prompted me to go back and find one of our first decorated cakes and thought I'd start a thread to see who would all share their first cake and maybe a most recent one. This was our family's Easter cake last year and it was also our first real crack at a cake with colored icing and fondant work. I'll never forget the comment I got about the raw board how embarrassing I could have dug a hole right next to the bunmy and buried my head lol. So we are almost at our year mark since we made this cake and we've said so long to raw boards (had no idea what the meant a year ago lol) and continue to learn something new everyday. I love being a part of cake central and read a least a couple of posts daily just to learn something I didn't know before. Hope to see what everyone else shares :)
[postimage id="2653" thumb="900"]
This is a great idea! Our first ever order was a Thanksgiving cake, the icing surprisingly turned out smooth and I was so proud of my pumpkins back then haha
[postimage id="2654" thumb="900"]
Alright, not sure why my post turned out that way, but the cake above was my final Wilton class cake. I hated how short it was lol
The Thanksgiving cake I was referring to was this one:
I don't think I have a picture of my first one, they didn't have digital cameras that long ago ;)
http://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/1795110/teddy-bear the teddy bear was my very first cake.
And this one my latest
[postimage id="2656" thumb="900"]
I took back to back classes so I could make a cake for our local corvette club's Christmas party. I was so nervous but very proud of it. Actually it was my second cake, first one was for my daughters birthday a couple weeks prior.[postimage id="2657" thumb="900"][postimage id="2658" thumb="900"]
This was one of my first cakes. I didn't know how to smooth a cake, do a decent border or plan a composed look.
[postimage id="2665" thumb="900"]
This is one of my recent cakes. I hope you can see some growth over the past 3+ years...
[postimage id="2666" thumb="900"]
Very interesting and so cool you all are sharing! Mine was a few years ago, when I was fed up with my "life without art" so bad, I HAD to do something creative to break from routine, and have an actual sense of accomplishment. You know, like, laundry - is never an accomplishment. Or house cleaning. And such. Things that are frustratingly always, there no matter how hard you worked on getting them done. So... I did not have sufficient time to "waste" on painting, or other large project... Hell, I still haven't put back together any of my art supplies, after part of our house was destroyed in a tornado incident 3 years ago.
But a cake, I thought, may give me a satisfaction of a project completion, and the craving for efforts acknowledgement. :-) So I did this one for my bff's birthday. Yeah, I made her3 years old. That kind of stuck, so now she is that every time )))
Sorry for the long back story. )))
[postimage id="2669" thumb="900"]
And this is the last weekend's cake. I am not sure why this did not go in the original post
[postimage id="2670" thumb="900"]
@costumeczar I seriously lol'd at that.
@SweetShop5 those pumpkins turned out cute!! How long ago was that?
@DormCat that's a tall order for a first cake!!
@Pastrybaglady your writing was fantastic!!
@LelekBolek that's funny about the 3 candles we had a similar candle funny happen with my son's birthday one year and we used that candle for other birthdays too as a joke.
I can can see everyone's growth from the first to the most recent it's amazing!!! Just shows we all start somewhere. Thanks for sharing everyone. So neat to see!! For some reason my second picture didn't post either but I'll post it now. This was one of our most recent cakes we did as a practice on sculpting. I have to give 100% credit to my husband he's the one who does the smoothing and sculpting and I do the finishing touches flowers letters etc [postimage id="2671" thumb="900"]I hope to see others share too!!
@Webake2gether it was about 3 years ago. So I was 16 years old haha That bear cake is soooo cute!!
It's so awesome to see how much everyone has improve
@Webake2gether That is a cutest bear!
I think I recall you had the same "thing" as I do, about doing "living humans body parts" cakes (I'm okay-ish with doing zombie, or other un-dead human parts :-)).
This is the kind of cute and sweet design I would offer instead a "belly bump" cake, or a baby shaped cake.
@SweetShop5 wow that's awesome you got started at 16 can't imagine what the next 3 years will bring for you!!
@LelekBolek yes you and I share the same "body part thing" lol. It just creeps me out and I'm not sure why but it just does. I have a few themes I won't take orders for bc I just can't do it lol. I will only do tasteful versions of zombie cakes if there is such a thing bc I think zombies aren't supposed to be tasteful?!?! Not saying that amazing zombie cakes haven't been done but I can't do gorey stuff. Commercials for scary movies give me nightmares haha so scary cakes are off the table for us :) unless my husband does all of it and I'm not present then maybe but I'm out!!!
i hope we get better over the next year. I think the most progress we've made is in knowledge and business so I'm looking forward to progressing in the execution of our cakes and overall work. I've jokingly said we've had beginners luck and that the hard work is only beginning.
I love these kinds of threads!!
the first cake was for my daughters 2nd birthday, and the second was for her 6th, the problem I have is each cake I do I feel needs to be better than the last!!! Lol
[postimage id="2976" thumb="900"]
[postimage id="2977" thumb="900"]
Fun thread! Thanks for starting it up @Webake2gether . It's fun to see how everyone has improved/grown with their skills. I would have to say though that everyone's first cakes look pretty good to me!
I can't remember what my first cake would be, some horribly iced one though I am sure! I was never great at piping and decorating with buttercream so when I discovered fondant it was a game changer for me :-)
I will share my first fondant covered cake, a Montreal Canadiens hockey jersey for my brother's 36th birthday (4 years ago this June). The stripes, number & lettering are done using sugar sheets. I didn't even use a cake board, just slapped the cake right in the container I was using to deliver it! lol
My most recent cake was BB-8 for my step son's 12th birthday.
[postimage id="2979" thumb="900"]
[postimage id="2980" thumb="900"]
For some reason BB-8 wouldn't load & I couldn't edit my post. Still seems to be some kinks every now & then. I'll try again.
[postimage id="2981" thumb="900"]
I am totally blown away with the skill level of most of your 'first' cakes! Certainly not my 1st b ut early on in my decorating:
[postimage id="3084" thumb="900"]
Couldn't get more on one picture per post so here is another one from my early decorating days: Though it says 2003 it was done back in about 1985 or so. Next I'll post one of my more recent ones - like one from just before I retiered.

Not exactly one of my last ones but a favorite of mine :) Everything hand made of sugar - all flowers, top vase and "S"s.

My very first decorated cake, a week before my first class in Jan 2014.
[postimage id="3087" thumb="900"]
And my latest cake.
[postimage id="3088" thumb="900"]
This was my very first cake ever..I was super proud of this believe it or not.
[postimage id="3114" thumb="900"]
Oh I so wish I could show you my first cake I made as order. I was 14 and made it for my theatre croup . It was rich chocolate cake, with orange marmalade filling, it was thin layers both jam and dark chocolate ganache round and on top a small scene from the play we where doing, a tree and a starving man.. I remember the tree falling over and the head rolling of the man. But I was proud and everyone said it tasted good.
That was back in the days of analogue cameras. I know two people have picture of this cake but yeah they dont have scanners.
Can I show the last cake I made any way?
The Thomas cake for my son's second birthday. His first birthday cake was from a grocery store and was half frozen when we served it I decided after many hours of watching the food network that I could do something with fondant The Sephora cake is the last cake I made and the Bb8 cake is the last cake I made for one of my kids. Who knew 8 years after that horible Thomas cake that I would own a shop. Thank goodness for crappy grocery store cake....who knows what I would be doing now
[postimage id="3366" thumb="900"]
All pictures are welcome @CatPoet So happy to see everyone participating and sharing!! What a neat story @hvanaalst I happened into baking by accident as well for my husbands nieces birthday. One thing lead to another and who knew we'd own a cake business a year later either. I figured since on of our first cakes was an Easter cake last year I'd share the Easter cake from this year. [postimage id="3391" thumb="900"]
I am proud of this cake, even if it isnt perfect. The sun made the kitchen so hot that the butter cream started melting with in 5 minutes. Piping was near impossible and we had use a tray of ice to keepo buttercream and tools to not be too hot use.[postimage id="3393" thumb="900"]
@CatPoet A tray of ice! Why didn't I think of that! I was pulling my bag in and out of the fridge. My sort of first cake is the only one in my gallery. I've only done one before it. It was my first time using ganache and making flowers. It was also rainy that weekend, so humid and hot. I usually just make drop cookies, box brownies, or lasagna. So any cake I do is a first for me. :)
And it didn't post the picture, I'll try again:
Of the 50 flowers I made, these where the only one that didnt melt , they looked really sad. It was minus outside but the sun hits that kitchen so it becomes a sauna, no heating needed at all in that house during spring month. Oh I forgot the inside picture. [postimage id="3395" thumb="900"]
None of the pix are showing for me. Not even the old ones posted weeks ago :(

Discover The Wildlife Species In The Galapagos Islands With Galapagos Tours
Exploring the Galapagos Islands can be a life-changing experience. This wonderful archipelago influenced one of the most revolutionary scientific theories on natural selection. The islands are the best places for all-natural wildlife tours where you might even have the chance to meet and interact with wild animals. Joining Galapagos tours is among the ways to explore the islands and discover their natural wildlife species.
Galapagos travel is different from luxurious island adventures. First of all, the archipelago is not a Caribbean luxury resort or a place where you can party all night. The Galapagos is almost barren due to the lack of vegetation and its volcanic landscape. When you're there, it's like you're on the moon's surface instead of an island paradise. What makes the archipelago unusually beautiful is its unique wildlife and minimal human traffic. You are able to enjoy one of a kind Galapagos tours without the crowds and commercialism.
There are Galapagos cruise options that can let you discover the islands and its intriguing wildlife species. The isolation of the islands allowed several unusual species to evolve there, including blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, equatorial penguins, and giant tortoises. The Galapagos National Park is one of the destinations that should be part of a Galapagos travel itinerary, so you can get started in discovering the resident wildlife like the following:
1. Birds
Finches are the tiny birds that played a crucial part in Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. They are native to the Galapagos Islands. The archipelago is also home to other feathered species like the blue-footed boobies and flamingos. You can easily identify the birds because of their distinct features.
2. Reptiles
There are plenty of reptiles in the Galapagos, making them the dominant residents of the archipelago. They thrive in the islands due to their ability to survive without water for long periods, enabling them to get around the islands anywhere from the mainland to the volcanic islands. Lizards, snakes, iguanas, and giant tortoises are some of the reptiles to look out for.
3. Mammals
Galapagos tours provide a unique opportunity to swim with sea lions and watch dolphins jump along the bow of a luxury yacht, first-class vessel, or a high-end sailing ship. There are only a few mammals on the islands. The Galapagos bat and Galapagos rice rat are unique to the islands.
4. Aquatic wildlife
About 17-percent of marine life are unique to the Galapagos. Activities like snorkeling and diving can let you meet hammerhead sharks, Sally light-foot crabs, and rare whales up close. It is common to see the Galapagos shark in Galapagos tours aboard a ship.
About the Company
Andando Tours is an expert at offering guided tours of Ecuador and its island treasure. Offering land and sea excursions, the company helps travelers map out adventures that are simply amazing. Its Galapagos island tours and Galapagos cruises itineraries are set so the splendor of this region is taken all in.

Modern automation speeds up manufacturing and makes it possible to get more work done in less time with fewer personnel. Computers and information technology have enabled an unprecedented level of access to knowledge. Transportation technology has reduced the time it takes to travel from one place to another.Continue Reading
The British Library discusses the effects that industrialization has had on the many facets of society. Farming technology such as tractors and processors makes it possible for a relatively small number of farmers to produce the food that feeds the rest of the human population. Industrial technology has a similar effect on consumer goods. Automated assembly lines mean that few workers are needed to produce immense quantities of finished goods at a rapid rate.
Technology has also streamlined transportation. The automobile and the airplane make it possible to travel in hours to a place that may have taken months to reach in the past.
Medicine has benefited from technology, too. Medical equipment such as X-ray machines and lasers improve the accuracy with which health care providers can diagnose ailments and perform life-saving procedures.
Technology has caused an explosion in human communication. People are able to communicate instantaneously through telephones or the Internet. Computers make it possible to quickly perform complex mathematical operations, store enormous amounts of data and share this information across the globe.Learn more about Inventions

Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Laparoscopic Suture Plication of an Enlarged Gastric Stoma in the Gastric Bypass Patient
- Weight loss after revision of the gastric outlet [ Time Frame: One Year ]To monitor the effectiveness of long term weight loss after laparoscopic plication of the gastrojejunostomy in the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patient
- Safety of laparoscopic plication of a gastrojejunostomy [ Time Frame: One year ]To demonstrate that the laparoscopic plication of an enlarged gastrojejunostomy is a safe surgical option to promote weight loss in the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patient.
|Study Start Date:
|April 2010
|Study Completion Date:
|April 2012
|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Revision of gastric bypass
A laparoscopic plication of the gastrojejunostomy will be performed after three 5-mm trocars are placed in the upper abdomen. Then using Ethibond suture, laparoscopic plication of the gastrojejunostomy on the medial, lateral and anterior surface of the anastomosis will be performed. The resulting anastomosis will be evaluated with intraoperative endoscopy and leak tested intraoperatively. The patients will be evaluated in the post-operative period with an expected discharge from the hospital within 24 hours.
Procedure: Revision of gastric bypass
A laparoscopic operation will be performed to decrease the size of the enlarged gastric outlet. Three 5-mm laparoscopic trocars will be placed in the upper abdomen and suture plication of the gastrojejunostomy on the medial, lateral and anterior surface of the anastomosis will be performed. The resulting anastomosis will be evaluated with intraoperative endoscopy and leak tested intraoperatively. The patients will be evaluated in the post-operative period and are expected to be discharged from the hospital within 24 hours.
Other Name: Laparoscopic plication of gastrojejunostomy
Detailed Description:
Excess body weight has been shown to have many adverse health effects including, increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, joint problems and early death. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has been shown in the literature to be an effective weight loss surgery in the majority of patients who are morbidly obese in both short and long term weight loss management. However, while 80% of patients who undergo gastric bypass lose 67-75% of their excess body weight within 2 years of surgery, 20% of patients fail to loose or regain a substantial portion of their excess body weight.1-2 There are several reasons postulated to be the cause in patients who regain their weight after gastric bypass surgery. These include poor nutritional choices and eating high caloric carbohydrates in a grazing eating pattern. Also dilation of the gastric pouch overtime which can decrease the feeling of satiety and allow for larger meals to be eaten can cause recidivism of obesity. Another problem that can occur is the enlargement of the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis. Patients who have an opening larger than 2 cm can have rapid emptying of food into the intestines and decreased satiety with meals.
Plication is a standard surgical technique of folding or tucking in, which has been used widely on other parts of the human anatomy. There have been several methods tried in the past to place plication sutures in the gastrojejunostomy from an endoluminal approach.3-7 These devices have had some success but are not widely used at this time. We aim to demonstrate that laparoscopic suture plication of the enlarged gastrojejunostomy can provide a safe and effective minimally invasive method to promote increased weight loss in this subset of gastric bypass patients who have an enlarged gastric stoma.
Specific Aim 1 To demonstrate that the laparoscopic plication of an enlarged gastric bypass is a safe surgical option to promote weight loss in the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patient.
Specific Aim 2 To monitor the effectiveness of long term weight loss after laparoscopic plication of the gastrojejunostomy in the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patient

How do I put a valuation on my garden?
How do I value part of my garden? A neighbour wants to purchase the back of my garden which measures 18x18ft, it's about one fifth of my garden.
Asked on Sep 20 2012, House Prices in Wolverhampton | Report content
Answers (1)
You are talking about a small amount of land, probably worth no more than a few hundred pounds, maybe a little more if they are willing to pay. If you were selling a building plot, then you would be talking several thousand pounds. You need to speak to a solicitor really. Think about the impact on you before you sell land, as a few hundred pounds or even a thousand might not be worth the hassle. Your property with your entire current garden might be worth more to you when you come to sell. You could get a couple of estate agents out to value your property, mentioning the possible sale of this land. They might give you some indication as to whether you should go down this route or not. But I don't think you are looking at a lot of money for such a small piece of land, at the end of the day it will be worth what it is worth to the neighbour purchasing it, they might pay more if it is important to them.Answered on Sep 20 2012, Report content

Last week I posted this, and a lot of people helped:
Basically, a lady EMAILED about 2 hours before she was suppossed to pick up her cake, and told me her father died and that she couldn't get it that day, but wanted to pick it up this week, on Thursday. I didn't hear anything from her all week, so emailed Wednesday to see if she was going to retrieve it, so that I could take it out of the freezer. On Thursday, all was silent still. I think I got ripped off! She said she would want it Thursday, didn't show up again, and won't respond to emails. Is it appropriate to call and tell her I want my payment?
If you have a written contract, I would call her and ask if she still wants the cake and gently remind her that you have a contract and you need to be paid for this cake, whether she picks it up or not.
If you don't have a contract, call her anyway and ask if she wants the cake.
If she doesn't want the cake, take it to your local shelter that serves food and donate it. Or give it to a retirement home, etc...Can you freeze it for another function?
Sometimes we are left hold the cake, but it happens sometimes.
Yes, it is appropriate to call her. This is why I suggested that you have her pay for it, pick it up, and store it herself. I hope you don't get stuck with it! She may still be busy with family and not returning emails to anyone yet. I would call her, tell her it needs to be picked up, and ask if she needs it still frozen or not when she picks it up. If the party has been changed to a month later, you can give it to her frozen with written instructions on how to properly thaw.
Well, the one silver lining to this is that I have a family reunion today, was asked to make a cake, but didn't because I had 4 other cakes this weekend and ran out of steam. It is my cousin's birthday, so now I can take this cake!!!!! LOL.
i am sure that will make your cousins day

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
am currently a resident and as of october of this year i can apply for citizenship. my partner has been here about 10 years. we have a 5 year old daughter. he has traffic tickets but nothing major, never been arrested.
I agree it will not matter, but since you are already a resident and you have a daughter together, you might want to consider getting married and filing a petition for your husband. The officer at USCIS will definitely ask about the father of your child, so as long as he is eligible to apply for permanent residency, you might as well start the process. Since you can apply beginning in October of this year, your interview for citizenship will probably not occur before January 2014. The oath will be several weeks later. By getting married now and filing an immigrant visa petition, you are in effect perfecting your back up plan. It's just a tactical move you might want to take to ensure all bases are covered. Good Luck!Ask a similar question
should not matter. they will ask about him on the application. tell them. they do not have the resources to go get everyone and never have. is he eligible for deferred action for childhood arrivals? check that out as well. i am in austin and available for consultation if you want.
The advice that I give in each answer or legal is not intended to take the place of an in person consultation. A complete answer takes an in depth interview. After all, it is a life that is at stake. If you are in another city that I do not service ask me and I might be able to recommend you an attorney there. In general, in Houston, I recommend Adan Vega or Bruce Coane, Specialists. In Dallas I recommend Richard Fernandez, Elizabeth Cedillo or Yong Wood as highly skilled and experienced. In South Texas I recommend Jodi Goodwin from Harlengin or Leonel Perez of Edinburg. In San Antonio I recommend Bob or Nancy Shivers or drive to Austin to see me or my talented associate Jacqueline Watson.Ask a similar question
You can get married whenever you want. You use the word "partner" which is usually associated with same sex couples. If you are a same sex couple, immigration benefits are not yet available. If you are not a same sex couple, then what will need to be done will depend on his current status, how he entered the US, whether he qualifies for 245(i), etc.
You should retain an experienced immigration lawyer to review all the facts, advise you, and handle the case. You can find one through http://www.ailalawyer.com.
J Charles Ferrari Eng & Nishimura 213.622.2255 The statement above is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice, as not all the facts are known. You should retain an attorney to review all the facts specific to your case in order to receive advise specific to your case. The statement above does not create an attorney/client relationship. Answers on Avvo can only be general ones, as specific answers would require knowledge of all the facts. As such, they may or may not apply to the question.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleagues it is your decision to get married; since you do have a child together this is a good indication of bona fides of the marriage. As a permanent resident you can petition for a spouse or you can wait until you become a citizen and petition for them as an immediate relative of a US citizen. Whether this would be advisable would depend on several other factors. Consult with a competent AILA immigration attorney to be advised about the benefits of immediate relative status and whether you should petition for him once married. I think I also would be clear that you must always be forthcoming and truthful on any application, including for naturalization and list him as your spouse if you do indeed get married before filing. If this is a same-sex partner that is another issue beyond the scope of this answer but there may be some changes on the horizon relating to same-sex partners in the proposal by President Obama relating to immigration reform.
No attorney-client relationship is created or implied by this communication in any way. Consult a competent immigration attorney preferably one who is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).Ask a similar question
I agree with other colleagues. It does not matter whether you want to marry now or wait after you have gotten your citizenship. If you marry now and file a petition for your partner before obtaining your citizenship, you should truthfully mention your partner on the petition. Once you become citizen, your partner's status will switch immediate relatives and not F2A category.
If he qualifies, he can apply deferred action benefit at the moment so that he can work legally. DACA application can be taken place at the same time as you file the I-130 petition for your partner.Ask a similar question

Some skin treatment options are expensive and some are basically free. This is no good way to determine how to tackle poor or mediocre skin. The two examples provide an insight into this spectrum of cost. It may also shed some light on why cost is only a small consideration.
Bacteria and Avoidance
It costs nothing to avoid bacteria getting on the face. Bacteria is the biggest contributor to bad skin (aside from genetics) and present bacteria will exasperate any potential problems. So how does one minimize bacteria without spending any money? The answer is by not touching the face. Hands carry upwards of 4,000 different bacteria, and they just love to settle in the skin on the face.
There is another serious-minded method for improving skin tone. This is especially useful for women who can't just sit around. They need something more. Though this method is a little pricey, it is absolutely worth it. What is the costly way?
Use Special Products
Mass market products are cheap, affordable, and easy to get hands on. But, all of this comes at a cost. At the end of the day, the products are inferior to what can be found through alternative markets. Go online and dig around to find products that are special and unique. Some of these products are a little left-of-center. This means that few women use them regularly because they are not considered basic. See, the only products to get covered in major stores are one's that are proven to sell in massive numbers. So, the companies stick to what is obvious. This includes basic moisturizers and cleansers. The online world is a little different. Innovative products are easier to find. Visitors can find moisturizers with added vitamins or toners that excel beyond the basic. There is a whole lot more to appreciate when it comes to these innovative and peculiar products- items that won't be found squished between shelves at the Wal-Mart.
So one method costs nothing, but it can have a huge impact. The other method is obviously proactive, but a little pricey. The best thing to do? Find a method that works and stick with it. It takes too long to find the right thing. Also visit http://noragouma.com/11-things-you-need-to-do-to-get-great-skin-number-5-will-shock-you/ for more possible tips.
