Letter to the Editor
The article "A Matter of Principle and Interest," in the March/April issue of Probate & Property, was interesting and thought provoking. However, it did not deal with the concept of the payment of interest under Islamic law, which has resulted in a body of laws and financial structures so as to comply with the Shari'ah prohibition against the receipt and payment of interest.
I have been involved in Shari'ah compliant financial transactions, which present interesting legal issues for the Western lawyer. Your attention is called to an article, "Banking by Faith" by Leslie A. Gordon, in the April 2005 issue of the ABA Journal, which gives a brief introduction to this area of the law.

Profiles in Membership
Michael D. Goler
Michael Goler began his involvement in the Real Property Division of the RPTE Section through the Workouts and Enforcement of Creditors Rights Committee. The committee's retiring chair was in search of a new chair; Michael volunteered and was promptly selected. When his term ended, he was asked to lead the Economics, Technology and Practice Methods Committee. He was later elected to the Section Council while remaining involved in Section committees and becoming involved in a variety of new Section projects.
When asked what he does at his firm, Michael said, "I represent parties in many types of real estate and commercial financing transactions from a variety of perspectives (including owners, tenants, and lenders), as well as different kinds of real estate related disputes, including creditor representation in workouts and bankruptcies." When his children were younger, some of his most enjoyable moments after closing development projects involved taking them to a construction site. "Kids can't appreciate the time and paper spent on a securities offering or a complex legal opinion, but they understand bricks and concrete."
"Involvement in the Section has helped me create a phenomenal network of colleagues whom I can call upon to refer matters, for advice, or just to get a different perspective on a perplexing issue. At the same time, my Section activities have allowed me to contribute to my profession and my community."
Michael believes that he has been fortunate to have had many opportunities to work on Section projects. He is most proud of helping to create and sustain E-Dirt, the Real Property Division's electronic newsletter, and of his work to establish a subcommittee of the Economics, Technology and Practice Methods Committee. This subcommittee was initially founded to provide legal support for Habitat for Humanity chapters throughout the country, but over a few years it evolved into the Pro Bono Committee, which, since its inception, has been one of the largest and most consistently active committees of the Section.
In his spare time, Michael enjoys photography, skiing, golf, and music, from jazz to opera—he has sung with the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus for eighteen years. For many years Michael also has contributed time and service to the Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center, the country's oldest hearing and speech agency. "At the Center we make a difference for the more than 10,000 people of all ages, from infants to seniors and every age in between."
Donna G. Barwick
Donna Barwick became interested in bar activities right out of law school, when she and her husband became very active in the State Bar of Georgia. "We both served as president of the Younger Lawyers Division and attended ABA/YLD meetings as delegates from Georgia." The Chair of the ABA/YLD appointed her YLD Liaison to RPPT. Her contact with the leaders of the RPTE Section as YLD liaison, combined with an election to the House of Delegates, gave her an immediate role in the RPTE Section. Donna went on to serve two terms on the Council and as one of the Section Delegates to the ABA House of Delegates. She also has the distinction of being the first probate and trust articles editor when Probate & Property magazine was started.
Donna started in the trusts and estates department of a large law firm right out of law school, just as a sweeping change was enacted in the estate and gift tax laws. Donna says, "That was a perfect time to attend CLE seminars where lawyers who were drafting documents were adjusting to those changes, and the RPTE Section was where many of the seminars took place."
Today, Donna is a senior director with Mellon Financial Corporation's Private Wealth Management group. In that capacity, she serves in a number of roles, including meeting with individual high-net-worth clients to ascertain their goals, reviewing their documents to make sure that they achieve those goals, making lawyer referrals if they are unrepresented by a trusts and estates attorney, and fielding other legal questions that they may have. Donna is also a member of Mellon's Wealth Management Council, which oversees education for portfolio managers on wealth management topics, works on marketing and sales materials on wealth management topics, and is involved with outreach efforts to the bar and otherprofessionals.
Having made friends in the Section over the years has helped Donna in more ways than she can mention. "I can always call someone from another state to make a referral or ask a question about the law of that other state." Donna has served as chair of the Fiduciary Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia and is a member of ACTEC, which she attributes in large part to interacting with the people she got to know through the RPTE Section. In her free time, Donna spends time with her family and likes to cook, garden, and do needlepoint.

Homeowner Associations and Unneighborly Brouhaha
By Robin S. Cromer
Homeowner associations (HOAs) are pervasive in new developments. The good news for lawyers is that these matters require an array of legal ser-vices. Lawyers are needed to set up the restrictive covenants for the developments, to advise the developer and/or HOA on interpreting the covenants and rules and regulations, and to resolve disputes between developers, HOAs, and homeowners. There is no shortage of legal issues to resolve in these disputes. For example, the following issues may be raised: Were the original covenants valid? Did the HOA enforce them or waive them by failing to enforce them? Is the HOA interpreting the covenants, rules, and regulations correctly? When and how can the HOA make changes to covenants and regulations drafted by the original developer? In fact, some have blamed lawyers for stirring up HOA trouble just to earn more fees.
Most often, the HOA is the plaintiff against the homeowner, enforcing the covenants created to protect all of the HOA members. But HOAs need to be prepared to defend suits, as well. In one recent case, a group of plaintiffs sued a condominium association and developer after a devastating fire destroyed several condominiums and hurt many people. The lawsuit, while not resolved, alleges that the condominiums had insufficient fire walls and were possibly lacking sufficient insurance coverage. The potential liabilities of the HOA need to be assessed and reviewed regularly.
Tips for Counsel
Many homeowners do not realize the power of the HOA when they purchase their property. Often, the first time they realize they are members of a HOA is when they receive a bill in the mail or a letter informing them that they are violating some HOA regulation. Most of the HOAs created in the last ten years mandate that all homeowners be members of the association upon the purchase of the property. These HOAs have mandatory dues that, if unpaid, can give the HOA the right to foreclose upon the property.
In most cases, a HOA can more easily and quickly foreclose on a lien than a lender can foreclose on a mortgage because few, if any, consumer protection laws govern the conduct of HOAs. California, however, passed a law last year that provides more protection to homeowners, and several states are considering such legislation. Nevada has introduced legislation that promotes fair HOA board elections by requiring secret ballot elections. Furthermore, Nevada's bill proposes that prospective home purchasers sign a disclosure statement at closing that informs them of the implications of association living. States such as California, Florida, and Nevada are at the forefront of HOA legislation because they have the highest rates of new home development, have the greatest number of HOAs, and have seen the most HOA litigation.
Even in HOAs that have no mandatory dues, association boards often attract people who enjoy telling their neighbors what to do. An innocuous regulation can quickly become burdensome, depending on who is judging whom. The web site for the American Homeowners Resource Center contains plenty of stories and news articles illustrating these personal conflicts among neighbors. Given the site reports that over 50 million Americans now live in HOAs, these stories will likely increase.
Any lawyer representing a home buyer must make an effort to explain the buyer's obligations to the HOA involved, as well as the deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, and HOA regulations. Although such steps will not stop every dispute, they will go a long way to prevent those "surprise" nonjudicial HOA foreclosures and even may prevent some "unneighborly brouhahas."
Ask the Mentor
Query: How do I become the chair of a substantive committee?
If you are interested in becoming a substantive committee chair, you should keep two words in mind: (1) knowledge and (2) participation. If you can demonstrate knowledge in your area of exper-tise and committed, active participation, including speaking on CLE panels, writing articles for Section publications, and reporting on recent legislative and regulatory developments in your practice area, you will have established a reputation in your area of expertise and as a reliable contributor to the RPTE Section. These attributes will be recognized by the leadership of the Section, and your responsibilities will increase until you become a vice-chair and then a chair of a substantive committee.

Kokoda Trail was the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of World War II and it's the site where the advancing Japanese party lost their campaign to claim Port Moresby from the "back door" in their ultimate goal to capture Australia.
A trek on the Kokoda Trail can be done either from the Port Moresby (Sogeri) side of the Owen Stanley Range or from Kokoda, which is the most preferred option and historically correct route. To start the trek, you will need to take a 30 minute flight on Airlines of PNG to Kokoda from Port Moresby. A third possible option is to fly into the half way point at Efogi where you can begin the trek.
A moderate trek would take up to ten days but depending on the fitness of the walkers, varying itineraries can be tailor-made to suit specific individual and group requirements. Kokoda can prove to be a difficult walk with high temperatures and humidity and prior training is recommended along with a thorough medical examination to verify your fitness.
The best time to walk the trail is between April and October.

Airline flies a diplomatic course with double order
Air France-KLM has balanced competing economic and political strains by splitting an aircraft order between Boeing and Airbus.
The French flag carrier was under enormous pressure from the French Establishment to buy European aircraft despite rumours that the airline's management favoured the American offering.
After months of negotiations, Air France said yesterday that it would split the $12 billion (£7.6 billion) order. It will buy 25 Airbus A350XWBs and 25 Boeing 787s with options for another 60 more aircraft.
The deal, which has not yet been finalised, is good news for the British industrial champion Rolls-Royce, which provides Trent XWB engines for the Airbus A350s.
Pierre-Henri Gourgeon, the chief executive of Air France KLM, said: "The group made its selection after a detailed assessment showing…

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman stopped in La Jolla Sunday on a fundraising tour that included Los Angeles and Newport Beach.
The event, a two-hour reception, is the candidate's first visit to San Diego since declaring his candidacy.
A campaign spokesperson told NBCSanDiego that Huntsman would not be made available to the media at the event.
Huntsman has two other events scheduled Monday that include a 30 minute reception at The Jonathan Club in downtown Los Angeles and an hourlong reception at The Island Hotel in Newport Beach.
Huntsman joined the presidential race June 21 with an event using the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop.

Brionne Williams has a vision of herself as a healer in a community clinic, doing much more than doling out pills and setting broken bones. "I want to get to know people and hear their stories," she said. "That's what I've always wanted to do—to give back to those in need."
Based on her track record, it would be unwise to bet against the senior from Hoover, Ala. This is a woman who can vertically leap 6 feet in the air.
As a Medicine, Health and Society major at Vanderbilt, Williams has been pursuing her educational dream, all the while maintaining a challenging schedule as a high jump specialist on the women's track team. "I am in our athletic facility three hours a day, every day," she said.
Williams is trying to pass on that sense of discipline to middle schoolers through FOOD (Facing Our Own Decisions), which began as a class project and has blossomed into an ongoing Vanderbilt student organization.
"As a class we came up with the idea of combating childhood obesity and targeting kids who lack steady access to food," she explained. Using a point system and prizes, FOOD incentivizes fifth- and sixth-graders at J.T. Moore Middle School in Nashville to eat more fruits and vegetables.
"We started grass roots and we're finding our way," Williams said. "Hopefully, we're going to branch out into other schools."
Travel is another of Williams' passions. She got started with a "life-changing" seven weeks in South Africa last summer at the University of Cape Town. "We rotated through the clinics and hospitals in the private and public sectors," she said. "We got to see the disparities in health care based on the areas."
After she graduates, Williams hopes to attend nursing school at Vanderbilt.
"I want to be a nurse practitioner," she said. "I want to focus on family care, maybe in areas that are underserved."

A couple of weeks ago I called the tablet computer the gift that keeps on giving, and some Black Friday numbers out from I.B.M. confirm just how important the tablet is becoming for retailers.
Highlights of an I.B.M. Digital Analytics Benchmark include some familiar figures about the growth in online shopping: Black Friday sales online were up 20.7 percent over last year. Sales on mobile devices, I.B.M. says, accounted for 16.3 percent of online sales even though they've only been part of the shopping equation for a relatively short time. Tablets have only been a factor for a few years, but according to I.B.M., on Black Friday they were behind 41.4 percent of sales made on mobile devices.

Taking the Next Step with Image Recognition
Barcode scanning opened up a new world for shoppers by allowing them to use their smartphones to quickly and easily gather information about products they were considering for purchase. Now, image recognition technology makes it possible to make a purchase based on a photograph of an item, giving mobile shopping applications a real opportunity to significantly enhance their user experience.
Image recognition technology is a key element of augmented reality. And while it's hard to say whether we'll all be wearing Google Glasses in 10 years, it's a safe bet that we'll be using our phones in new and different ways in two years, even less.

Is the iPad the Cash Register of the Future?
It happened to the home telephone, the wristwatch and the dashboard navigation device. Each has been replaced to varying degrees by mobile devices. Now it's happening to the cash register.
More and more retailers are going a different route when it comes to their POS systems, and increasingly they're giving up their cash registers in favor of iPads. I am not talking about the odd mom-and-pop business using an iPad to avoid buying a cash register. Major retailers are making the switch.
Device's versatility is an advantage
Urban Outfitters is one. It will be replacing all its cash registers with iPads and all of its sales associates will carry them. Urban Outfitters' chief information officer, Calvin Hollinger, says, "[iPads] can be turned towards the customer, who can view content, put in personal information [and] use it as a gift registry." It is less expensive and far more versatile that a traditional cash register system.

Bull Riding isn't just for Cowboys.
Judging by the legs, Babe sold short in the bull market.
True storytime: Once my husband and I were across a canal from a farm and Hubby decided to impress me so he jumped in and swam to the other side, went around the bend and came back leading a giant Morgan horse, and proceeded to try and get on it, NOPE. So he went back and came around with a smaller horse, who would not let him ride him either. Yup, you got it, he finally came around the bend riding a sweet, docile Gurnsey.
((( You nailed it, Rebecca! )))
After retirement, Babe decided to head to a career on Wall Street. He thought he'd profit in the bull market.
(((Remember, NOBODY could party like the Babe!)))
All be darned! It IS Babe Ruth! (I had no idea!!) Wonderful!! Sharp eyes you've got there, elevenfan!
Owww! Great one, Rebecca!!
The rarest baseball card of all - Babe Ruth, in street clothes, in the bull pen.
What animal is it? a horse or a cow?
Major league teams did barnstorming tours of the country, a few players taking the term a bit too literally....Yes, it is Babe Ruth.
Hey Fella. Guess you've never seen a horse, huh?
What a load of bull!
Picture of the first confirmed case of Mad Cow Disease!

Senator Fuschillo: Congress Fails New York's Commuters Again
"Six months ago, New York's commuters saw their federal and state mass transit tax benefits cut nearly in half because Congress did not approve the necessary extension. Yesterday, Congress failed them again by not repealing this almost fifty percent tax increase as part of the adopted federal transportation plan.
Washington's inexplicable decision to tax people more for going to work is a slap in the face to every hardworking New York commuter who is already paying more than enough to take mass transit to work. Even worse, because Congress did not create parity with the federal pre-tax parking benefit, which in 2012 is $240 a month, they have created an incentive for people to avoid mass transit entirely. That's completely the wrong approach at a time when we are trying to ease congestion and get cars off the road.
Because of Congress' inaction in extending the benefit, I introduced legislation to fully restore the state's mass transit benefit and allow commuters to immediately exempt up to a total of $240 a month from state income tax to cover mass-transit expenses. The New York State Senate passed the legislation in February. The Assembly needs to act, especially since we now know that Washington will not.
Commuters were counting on Washington to deliver a result and restore these important savings. Instead, they got run over by a Congress that seems to be working against them rather than for them."

Jennifer Aniston In Funny Pregnancy Commercial (VIDEO)
Subscribe to My 103.5 FM on
At least she has a sense of humor! A new commercial for Smartwater is branded as a "leak" of home security tapes in which she is shown hiding a baby bump and taking other fictional digs at her reputation. She also removes her signature hair — the "Rachel" — to reveal her dark, tightly-curled "natural" 'do.

It's the quick fouls at the beginning of the game that get Augusta State center Garret Siler in trouble.
At 6-foot-11, 304 pounds, Siler is a magnet for whistles. The largest player in this week's Elite Eight, he'll again be an easy target for officials.
"I had one referee tell me that he hates coming here, because nobody knows what to do with the big guy," Jaguars assistant coach Lenny Carlson said. "As soon as he catches the ball in the post, three guys on the other team fall down on the floor and the coach is yelling, 'Foul!' "
Augusta State faces Central Oklahoma at noon Wednesday in the NCAA Division II Tournament quarterfinals at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass. Siler will have a four-inch, 54-pound size advantage over the Bronchos' biggest regular player.
"We, obviously, want to keep him on the floor as much as we can," Jaguars coach Dip Metress said. "When you go to the national tournament, guys have never called him before and don't realize how big he is and how people just bounce off him."
Keeping Siler in the game may be critical to Augusta State's success. The junior from Richmond Academy leads the nation in field-goal percentage (78 percent) and is a force on defense (83 blocks).
When he's on the floor, Siler helps open up the Jaguars' perimeter game. He also helps free up All-American senior forward Tyrekus "A.J." Bowman.
"You need a big guy in the hole," Metress said last year. "One of the reasons we are where we are is because of him and A.J."
A second-team all-region selection, Siler has scored in double digits in 24 of Augusta State's 31 games, including a 31-point performance against Georgia Southwestern. In the three South Atlantic Regional games, Siler shot 16-for-18 from the floor for 40 points. Siler added 22 rebounds and 11 blocks.
Siler also came up big when the Jaguars needed him most. His layup with 1:40 remaining gave Augusta State a three-point lead in the South Atlantic Regional opener against Johnson C. Smith.
In the Regional semifinals, Siler picked up two fouls in the first two minutes against Wingate. He played the final 11:55 of the first half and scored nine points to help the Jaguars overcome a 10-point deficit.
Siler then scored three baskets the first 3 minutes of the second half to help the Jaguars tie the game, before they pulled away for a 13-point victory.
In the Regional championship, Siler put the breaks on a 10-2 Clayton State run with a dunk that helped the Jaguars break free for the win.
"He takes up a lot of space," guard Daniel Dixon said. "He is a great player. In my book, I always say he's an All-American."
"He sucks up so much of the defense just him running to the post," forward Luke Tambon said. "It gets Ben (Madgen) open, Dee (Demetrius Howard) open, A.J., Steve (Smith). And when he gets the ball, he's starting to make the right decisions whether it's to kick it out or to make a move."
In the games against Wingate and Clayton State, Siler picked up a foul within the first 40 seconds. He fouled out of both games.
"That's just him showing emotion, trying to get that extra rebound," Metress said. "I guess it's a good problem to have, because he's into the game and trying to do the right things."
Bowman added: "Some of Garret's fouls aren't totally his fault. We've got a do a better job of keeping our man in front of us. That should eliminate some of the cheap fouls."
Siler said he understands staying out of foul trouble this week won't be easy, because he doesn't know the referees' tendencies.
"It's going to be hard," Siler said. "A lot of big men pick up fouls. In order to be an enforcer, you've got to know you're going to pick up some because, if you don't, they're all going to drive to the hole."
If Siler averages a double-double, which he's shown he can do, the Jaguars are in good shape.
"I'm a big piece of the puzzle, I guess," Siler said.

Bowman was one of two Peach Belt players to win All-American honors -- USC Aiken junior forward Chris Commons was named to the second team.

Bowman, a two-time Peach Belt Player of the Year and the Most Outstanding Player of this year's South Atlantic Regional, is averaging 19.6 points and 7.5 rebounds a game.

Menasha kids celebrate Wellness Day
MENASHA - Monday was a day of fun and games for some Menasha elementary school students, but it was fun with a purpose.
The students' exercise was part of an annual Wellness Day.
The track and field events encourage students to have an active, healthy lifestyle. And the chance to learn life lessons along the way.
You could tell by the effort on their faces, the third through fifth grade students took the events seriously.
"There is a lot of athletic stuff going on, I mean, tournaments and it's really fun," said Nicolet Elementary fifth grader Anthony Helse.
The 40th annual Track and Field Wellness Day brought together 1,000 students from five different elementary schools in Menasha.
"The friendly competition is great, they go away with a positive experience that somebody cheered for them," said John Breaker, track meet coordinator.
With it a positive lesson on sportsmanship that is sinking in with the students.
"Seeing everybody have good sports and seeing everybody have good sportsmanship and how everybody sticks up for each other and is being a good sport," said Gegan Elementary fifth grader Daniel Reeves.
From relay races to golf, football, jumping rope and more, the students are learning important lessons on and off the track.
"Sitting in the bleachers is really fun because you get to sit by your friends, but you also get to cheer on your team," said Clovis Grove Elementary fifth grader Nikki Frank.
Monday also meant a chance for students to get some outside exercise they have been missing for much of this spring.
"This is a good opportunity for them to get the exercise they haven't been able to get, especially in the running events and the condition of the field and the track is just great and everything is falling into place," said Breaker.
While not every student won an event, they all earned a ribbon for participating and say they had fun spending the day learning outside the classroom.

PDA View Full Version : Any new Hindi DVD's out lately? huzefa04-14-02, 10:41 AMI saw Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and Satya last week; now I'm wondering if there are any new DVDs out that are good. Anybody got any suggestions? darius2504-14-02, 04:50 PMIf you like Satya, then you will be LOVE the newest film from the same director (Ram Gopal Verma) - Company. It's a very ambitious film that tells about how the biggest gangsters operate on a global scale. It is almost epic in scope. Here's a forum thread discussing this magnificient epic: http://mars.jtlnet.com/~zulm/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?s=3cb9eb97240fffff;act=ST;f=1;t=1298 Also, here's some links to the movie's website and some reviews: Company review at IndiaFM: http://www.indiafm.com/reviews/02/company/index.shtml review from Rediff: http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/apr/12comp.htm official website: www.companythefilm.com The DVD is slated to be out sometime this week. For best prices, keep on checking at the following website: Indiaweekly - http://220.127.116.11/store/dvd.asp huzefa04-14-02, 07:38 PMLooks good. Thanks! huzefa04-14-02, 11:01 PMBTW, do you have a more specific date on the DVD release date for Company? Also does somebody have any info on what the best dvd mastering company is? I understand there are a couple, Eros and Dei and some others. Which one is the best? Yahoo Sirius04-14-02, 11:32 PMThe COMPANY disc is supposed to be available on April 17th, along with AANKHEN, another cool film about a fired bank employee who trains three blind men to help him pull off the perfect heist. <b>"Also does somebody have any info on what the best dvd mastering company is?"</b> They all pretty much suck. DEI used to be the best, but their standards have dropped. EROS/B4U, Videosound, Baba and the other labels that release Hindi Dvds don't seem to care much about producing high quality discs. Then again, you can get most of their discs for under $10, so it's hard to quibble. darius2504-15-02, 11:10 AMactually while some of the Indian DVDs tend to be worse in audio/video quality than the Hollywood films, the overall quality is kind of on the rise. Atleast the Indian DVD industry is starting to embrace Anamorphic video for most of the major releases, the sound is drastically improving (most of the releases are 5.1), and the extras are coming around again (Yashraj Films are best for this department). For the DVD quality, I would say the DEI is still the best in terms of audio/video quality, but the other companies (like Yashraj films) are improving aswell. As for Eros, ok their transfers aren't great - but they're NOT BAD at all compared to their previous standards, and the releases tend to be cheap aswell. Plus with decent sound (which sounds much better on my 5.1 system than in the bad-quality second run theatres that these movies play on here in North America), and anamorphic video, these DVDs are worth it. As for Company, it's an Eros release. Judging by their previous release dates, the film should be released by Wednesday to Friday at the latest. At Indiaweekly, the price should be around $12.99 or so. The word on the DVD is that it has Anamorphic 2.35:1 video, 5.1 sound, English Subtitles, 3 deleted songs videos (which were not included in the film but were on the soundtracK), and possibly some other extras. darius2504-17-02, 10:58 AMhufeza, Company is now out on DVD, for $13.99 US at Indiaweekly. Here' s the link: http://184.108.40.206/datacart/products/template_dvd.asp?ProductType=dvd&Rental=Sale&Detail=Detail&ProductId=4472 You may also be interested in another new film, "Aankhen" (the title means EYES), which is due out at the end of this week. It's pretty nifty thriller about a bank manager who decides to rob his own bank, with the help of three blind men. The film is very suspenseful with some pretty clever twists and turns and a GREAT ending! It also features an all-star cast, with Indian superstar Amitabh Bachchan in a downright villainous turn as the bank manager, and action star Akshay Kumar (the Indian Jackie Chan) as one of the blind men. There's also some very hillarious scenes, and the songs are great too (but are kept to a minimum - there's only 3 songs). For a review of "Aankhen", click here: http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/apr/05aank.htm And to visit the film's really good website, click here:http://www.aankhenadangerousgame.com If you're interested, keep on checking the Indiaweekly site for the movie.

Alternate History with Science Fiction. The series takes place during WWII and the warring Allied and Axis powers are forced to combine resources in order to combat an invading alien species that threatens to conquer the entire planet.

Often I will post about something I want to remember or come back to. This is one of those posts! The Suburban Jungle (check our her Mediterranean pizza) mentioned this in her recipe:
"When you make homemade pizza, it's really important to pre-bake the crust before you add the ingredients. This can make all the difference between having a good pizza and a gummy, yucky pizza. You should do this even if you are using a pre-packaged pizza crust. You only need to bake it for 5-6 minutes (higher heat is better here, maybe 500*) You can use this time to clean up the kitchen or prepare your sauce."

God's Whispers Of Wisdom - Poem by Tom Zart
Find out what the Bible preaches and teaches
To believer's heart, mind, conscience and soul.
Experience blessings both by day and night
As God's truth sustains our purpose of goal.
Before we can obey God, we must be aware
Of what He says not only in the Bible.
But also in times of begging for answers
His whispers of wisdom are reliable.
You can always judge a person's true character
By how much they live by God's truth.
How anxious they are to provide for others
As they are Godly, kindly, forgiving or uncouth.
Anyone can be sinful, selfish, spiteful or mean
It's easy to become self-serving, hateful and cruel.
The righteous of soul, heed God's whispers of wisdom
Avoiding through faith, the outcomes of a fool.

A filly the same color as the ominous storm clouds that were
gathering above the Lone Star Park
grandstand on the evening of May 24 strolled along the outside rail, appearing
incredibly cool and collected for a two-year-old making her first start. My
eyes focused on the filly that I had met a month earlier, who was now the heavy
favorite in a ten-horse field of Texas-bred juvenile fillies.
Her name was Fiftyshadesofgold. Although
she had yet to race, there had been much talk about the Bret Calhoun trainee due to the impression she'd made in the
mornings, displaying brilliance in her collection of works leading up to her
debut. In this five-furlong maiden special weight, Fiftyshadesofgold would
prove if she could live up to all of the hype surrounding her.
Alongside nine other rivals, only two of which had racing experience, Fiftyshadesofgold
warmed up before the crowd gathered at the Grand Prairie, Texas track,
maintaining her composure. She loaded into the gate on the far side of the
track without a problem and for a brief moment in time, the world was still.
Fiftyshadesofgold was still an untested two-year-old who had yet to prove her
talent. Less than 58 seconds later, however, she would leave all those watching
her in awe of her brilliance, pondering what her future held.
Fiftyshadesofgold exited the sixth gate in a clean manner, swiftly settling
into a stalking position with jockey Cliff
Berry – the all-time leading rider at Lone Star Park – aboard. Using her
powerful strides to make a sweeping move around the turn, Fiftyshadesofgold
soared to the lead outside the quarter pole, seizing a distinct advantage as
the field turned for home.
In a mere hand ride from Berry, Fiftyshadesofgold drew away from her opponents
with utter effortlessness, her long, graceful strides carrying her toward the
wire as she abandoned the other fillies. Although Berry ceased to ask the
gifted two-year-old for any further speed, the dark gray filly continued to
extend her lead down the lane. She coasted under the wire ten lengths in front,
posting a final time that was just 1.51 seconds off the track record despite
being geared down in the late stages of the race. Her win served as trainer
Bret Calhoun's 600th Lone Star Park victory.
As a result of her breathtaking maiden triumph, Fiftyshadesofgold departed Lone
Star Park for Churchill Downs, where
she would make her stakes debut in the Debutante Stakes on June 22. Sent off as
the favorite in a field of eleven, the gray filly broke sharply from the tenth
post, racing wide as she raced abreast the leaders. The tall filly loomed large
around the far turn, collaring the leader as Corey Lanerie sat like a statue
aboard her. Easily taking the lead near the end of the curve, Fiftyshadesofgold
swept into the homestretch with sheer power, taking off as the left her
competitors in the dust. In an astounding display of pure ease and strength,
Fiftyshadesofgold opened up on the field, gliding to a jaw-dropping 8-length
With her impressive triumph, it was no longer just the state
of Texas talking about the filly. The entire nation had a new star to discuss.
Calhoun prepared the filly for a start in the Adirondack Stakes (GII) at the
nation's most prestigious summer meet – Saratoga.
Breaking from the inside gate as the heavy favorite, Fiftyshadesofgold remained
along the rail as she tracked the leaders. However, this position along the
inside compromised her chances, as after being boxed in around the far turn,
the tall, imposing filly remained trapped behind rivals.
It appeared as if she would be able to rally through a spot that opened up on
the rail, but as she did so, she was pushed into the rail by Who's In Town,
forcing her to check and lose momentum. Despite this predicament,
Fiftyshadesofgold was able to cross the wire in fourth and after Who's In Town
was disqualified from first, the Calhoun trainee was promoted to third, able to
gain a placing after her troubled but respectable performance.
Fiftyshadesofgold is a homebred for Clarence Scharbauer, Jr., former president
of the American Quarter Horse Association whose family owned the great Alysheba, Kentucky Derby (GI) winner
and 1988 Horse of the Year. Born on the Scharbauers' beautiful Valor Farm in Pilot
Point, Texas, Fiftyshadesofgold's pedigree is a model of the farm's bluest
Her sire is My Golden Song, one of the most elite stallions on Valor's strong
stallion roster. My Golden Song, who was third behind 2006 Kentucky Derby
victor Barbaro in the 2006 Holy Bull
Stakes (GIII), has sired many Texas stakes horses, including the multiple
black-type winners Cowgirl N Up and Platinum Song, as well as the additional
black-type winners Smiles Golden Song and Triumph And Song. A son of the late Unbridled's Song, who has ranked among
the top ten sires on the continent for six of the past ten years, My Golden
Song shares the same sire as many blossoming stallions, including Eurosilver,
Even the Score, Political Force, and, most notably, Songandaprayer.
Although Fiftyshadesofgold's dam, Hadif Cat, encountered little success at the
track, the mare has found greater achievements as a broodmare. Since her racing
career ended in 2006, Hadif Cat has produced the black-type winners Sword Trick
and Tastefullyxcessive, the former of which earned more than $210,000. Hadif
Cat is a daughter of the group three-winning Hadif, a former Valor Farm
stallion that became one of the most influential sires in Texas. As a broodmare
sire, the half-brother to the grade one-winning Secret Hello has produced the
dams of many black-type winners, including Early Final, Final Trick,
Hadavision, My Three Girls, Sax Appeal, Stormin Quality, and Triumph And Song.
Fiftyshadesofgold's third dam is Alysbelle, a full sister to Alysheba and a
graded stakes victress that placed in a pair of grade ones. She found similar
success as a broodmare, producing the multiple group stakes-winning Matikane
Kinnohosi and Golden Spur, a horse that earned over $100,000. This makes
Fiftyshadesofgold a direct descendant of the Reine De Course mare Belthazar,
who was the last foal sired by Triple Crown winner War Admiral.
Texas-breds like Fiftyshadesofgold rarely make a name for themselves on the
national scene, but Fiftyshadesofgold has done just early on in her career. There
is no prouder state than Texas and should this brilliant filly continue to find
success at premier tracks across the nation, she will have a large fan base
behind her, cheering her along the way. In a time during which Texas racing is
struggling, Fiftyshadesofgold is a shining golden ray of hope for the Lone Star

As the housing market continues its upswing, so does remodeling activity, and the trajectory is expected to continue into 2014. According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard's latest Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA), the general strengthening of the housing market over the past 18 months is translating into increased spending on home improvements.
It certainly makes sense. Recent homebuyers are traditionally the most active home improvers, and with growth in existing home sales, there's a lot more opportunity to spend on updating and personalizing their abodes. Consumer confidence is also heading back to pre-recession levels, making homeowners much more comfortable about investing in their homes and taking time to tackle long-postponed projects.
All of this is great news for remodeling contractors, too, who have been reporting improving market conditions over the past four quarters. The researchers behind LIRA expect the trend to continue into early 2014, when home remodeling spending could begin to moderate as financing costs start edging upward.

Canola crushing plant turns 10 tons of locally grown seeds to oil and meal
OROVILLE – Carbon Cycle Crush proved it can be done as 10 tons of locally grown canola seed from the Havillah area was pressed into oil and meal before invited guests last Monday.
The crushing took place following a luncheon put on by the company which has built its plant in the old Oro Fruit warehouse on Appleway Ave. The CCC's goal is to crush 50 tons of seed a day in three shifts, 24/7. To start the company will be mostly crushing imported Canadian-grown seed from the prairies of Alberta and Saskatchewan, but to crush more locally-grown seed like Jim Bunch's that was being crushed that day is also a goal.
Prior to the start up of the seed press, an emotional Carbon Cycle Crush vice-president Ryan Skinner thanked several people for their help in getting the plant to this point. Then company president Tim King, a former employee of the USDA made a presentation of the company's goals, including replicating similar plants in several locations throughout the state and perhaps Canada.

Is your little one full of imagination and a real James Bond in the making? Have a little fun with these do it yourself spy glasses and your child will spend all afternoon digging up clues and watching for bad guys. Made from cardboard egg cartons, this is a great recycling project as well!
Craft Supplies:
- 2 cardboard eggcups
- 3 blue pipe cleaners
- 19 blue pony beads
- 14 yellow pony beads
- 14 green pony beads
- Green and yellow paint
- Scissors
- White craft glue
- Toothpick
Tip: You made need more or less beads than are called for in the instructions, depending on the size of your child's head.
How to Make It:
- Trim the egg carton cups with scissors and cut a hole in the bottom of each one for the eye openings.
- Paint the cardboard eggcups green and allow them to dry. Paint yellow stripes around the eggcups and allow them to dry.
- Cut a 3-inch piece from one of the pipe cleaners; set the remaining section aside for another project.
- Use a toothpick to poke a hole in the side of each eggcup to accommodate the nose piece. Thread one end of the 3-inch pipe cleaner into one of the holes and bend the end inside the cup to hold in place. Thread 5 blue beads onto the pipe cleaner. Poke the open end through the other eggcup and bend to secure.
- Use a toothpick to poke a hole on the opposite side of each eggcup to accommodate the arms of the eyeglasses. Insert one end of a pipe cleaner into the hole. This will be long, so pull enough through to allow room at the end to curve around your child's ear. Twist the pipe cleaner together.
- Thread beads onto the pipe cleaner, leaving the ear hook open. Bend the very end of the pipe cleaner to "hide" the pointy end so that it doesn't cause discomfort. Repeat for the other arm.

Ice Ritual
- Artist: Divide by Pi
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 11/22/2005
|your cart is empty
We are a cutting-edge improvisational duo, consisting of Aaron Krister Johnson on synthesizer, and Andy Hasenpflug on percussion. Our music might be labelled 'mystical' or 'surreal'. We like using tuning systems other than 12-tone equal standard tuning. Our influences might be: Morton Subotnick, Tod Dockstader, Iannis Xenakis, Steve Reich, Indian and African music, Gregorian Chant, Olivier Messiaen, and Toru Takemitsu. Divide by Pi was chosen to be the unsigned artist of the month for June 2004 by Keyboard magazine. They called our music 'challenging and creative', and said that our 'accessible brand of improvisational noise music or sound sculpture echoes Louis and Bebe Barron, Morton Subotnick, and Iannis Xenakis...Even at it's most adventurous, there's a light, gossamer feel to the synth sounds that avoids the grating sound common to much noise music.

Seven USC commits saw their seasons end in the playoffs last week, leaving eight remaining in the hunt for rings. Here are this week's seven playoff games featuring Trojans commits, headlined by a battle between two future teammates:
Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) at Murrieta (Calif.) Vista Murrieta: It's USC commit against USC commit in the CIF Southern Section Inland Division semifinals. Rancho Cucamonga's Chris Hawkins might be the only cornerback in the region capable of matching up with Vista Murrieta's Su'a Cravens on the outside. The game will be streamed live by Fox Sports West through its PrepZone Live online platform. Kickoff is scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m. PT.
Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco vs. Long Beach (Calif.) Poly at Veterans Stadium: USC offensive line commit Nico Falah and St. John Bosco are a win away from reaching the CIF Southern Section Pac-5 Division title game. Standing in the way is traditional power Poly, which shocked No. 2-seeded Mission Viejo and former Trojans commit Max Redfield. The game will be televised locally on Fox Sports West. Kickoff is slated for Friday at 7:30 p.m. PT.
Pleasanton (Calif.) Amador Valley at Concord (Calif.) De La Salle: USC linebacker commit Michael Hutchings and De La Salle keep on rolling through the CIF North Coast Division 1 bracket. They are two wins away of the fulfilling their preseason expectation.
Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline vs. Camas (Wash.) at Tacoma Dome: Signal-caller Max Browne has passed for 3,754 yards and 41 touchdowns this season. Almost as impressive is that he's thrown only four interceptions. The USC commit looks to continue the trend in the WIAA 4A semifinals on Friday.
Georgetown (Ky.) Scott County at Louisville (Ky.) Trinity: Defensive end commit Jason Hatcher and No. 1-seeded Trinity squeaked their way into this week's KHSAA Class 6A semifinal. Anything short of a title would be a disappointment for the top team in the state.
Houston (Texas) Alief Taylor vs. Houston (Texas) Lamar at Reliant Stadium: USC defensive end commit Torrodney Prevot scored two defensive touchdowns last week in the first round of the UIL Texas State Conference 5A Division 1 playoffs. He had four sacks and an interception.
Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton vs. Phoenix (Ariz.) Mountain Pointe at Univ. of Phoenix Stadium, Saturday: The AIA Division 1 championship is a rematch of the season opener, which Mountain Pointe won by a 17-14 score on Aug. 24. While No. 3-seeded Hamilton features 2014 offensive line commit Casey Tucker, top seed Mountain Pointe is led by UCLA offensive line commit Kenny Lacy and ESPN Watch List athlete Jalen Brown.

Meanwhile, re decisive operations under snow conditions in the comments, herewith a glimpse of what a city that truly understands snow is addressing. (Eto prosta shutka! (It's a lighthearted joke)). Re serious issues, we may or may not address the new doctrine, geopolitics, budgets and show pieces like Sukhoi's 5th Gen Potemkin prototype given sensitivities and our past involvements. We'll think on it further.
The best part? The last 30 seconds. Russians still today have outsized respect for Oxbridge (or imagined) English in their own official training and pedagogical approaches. Here we see almost a Monty Python sketch.

The Eastern League and the Southern League were off yesterday, but Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler played and didn't miss a beat.
Prospect Of The Day
Dexter Fowler extended his hitting streak to 10 games last night, going 2-for-4 with a walk and two doubles. In that 10-game stretch, Fowler has eight multi-hit games, including Friday when the Tulsa (Rockies) center fielder went 4-for-5 with two doubles. Yesterday's game pushed Fowler's numbers up to .313/.397/.493 in 268 at-bats.
Prospect Nuggets
Midland (Athletics) center fielder Aaron Cunningham reached four times, going 1-for-2 with three walks. He also stole a base, his sixth of the year . . . Cunningham did some of his damage against Frisco (Rangers) righthander Tommy Hunter, who lasted just five innings and gave up 10 hits and eight runs (seven earned). Hunter walked two and struck out three. Frisco still came away with the 12-8 victory, however, led by catcher Max Ramirez, who went 2-for-3 with a double and two walks. Shortstop Elvis Andrus went 1-for-5 and hit his first home run of the season.
What To Watch For Today
The Eastern League and the Southern League each had the day off yesterday. Among the pitching probables today in the EL are Reading (Phillies) righthander Carlos Carrasco, Bowie (Orioles) righthander Chorye Spoone, Binghamton (Mets) lefty Jon Niese and New Hampshire (Blue Jays) lefthander Ricky Romero.
In the SL, righthander Brett Sinkbeil throws for Carolina (Marlins), while lefty Donald Veal pitches for Tennessee (Cubs).

Cheltenham: Mamlook enters the running for Festival
The search for that elusive beast, a Cheltenham Festival candidate, can be conducted at arenas great and small.
After a selection put their credentials on display on King George day at Kempton on Saturday, another may have emerged yesterday from the murk and mud at lowly Fakenham.
And a remarkable horse he is, too. The previous occasion on which Mamlook had stood in a winners' circle was after the Chester Cup, one of the Flat programme's most competitive handicaps, last May and other tremendous efforts during a career that began five years ago in Ireland in Sheikh Hamdan's colours include a head-bob defeat at Royal Ascot, two places in the Cesarewitch and victory in a Grade Two hurdle at Ascot almost a year ago.
The seven-year-old may be a jack of all trades, but he is now master of all.
Yesterday was his first run over fences and he completed his debut victory with the minimum of fuss, driven past the more experienced favourite Tullamore Dew on the run-in by Tony McCoy to prevail by three-quarters of a length.
It was Mamlook's first outing for 205 days — he had finished last in the Northumberland Plate on his previous run — but that sort of statistic has never been a negative for an inmate of the David Pipe yard.
In a three-runner contest over two miles, five furlongs of the tight Norfolk track, McCoy tracked Tullamore Dew, who had already won twice over fences, but was conceding 10lb to the new chasing recruit.
He put up a bold effort, but Mamlook's finishing speed was decisive in the closing stages.
The gelding, who looked a picture beforehand and was foot-perfect at all bar one of the obstacles in testing conditions, runs in the blue-and-yellow Peter Deal colours made famous by Make A Stand, winner of a Champion Hurdle with McCoy aboard.
"Three-runner races are always tricky, especially at a track like this," said Pipe, who rates the son of Key Of Luck one of his Devon yard's leading novice chase prospects for the season.
"The ground was much softer than ideal, so it was a good performance. Bar that one mistake he jumped really well and as he takes his racing well, he'll be out again sooner rather than later."
Master Minded will face a maximum of eight rivals in the campaign's next Grade One contest, Saturday's Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot and has been installed as 4-7 favourite to make it three from three for the season en route to the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham.
Yesterday's acceptors include a pair from the King George-winning stable of Nicky Henderson, Petit Robin and Mad Max and Mamlook's stablemate I'm So Lucky.

A single-car accident resulted in a DUI arrest on Saturday in Talkeetna.
According to the Alaska State Troopers Dispatch, Troopers responded to a report of a single vehicle collision near the intersection of G Street and Beaver Road at approximately 6:40. Investigation revealed that Clifford Barber, age 23, of Talkeetna, was operating his 1988 Ford Bronco II on Beaver Road when he lost control and hit a tree after going in the ditch.
Further investigation revealed Barber was operating the vehicle while impaired by alcohol. Barber was arrested at the scene for Driving Under the Influence and transported to Mat Su Pretrial where his bail was set at $500.00.

Layani,Leiarni, Leiani, Laarni, Layarni???
Hi, think we have our list down to 2 names that we actually agree on! All the way through I have loved Leilani hubby didn't he says its a mouthful so we have now changed it to Layani ( removed the L in the middle) can be spelt Leiani, Laarni, Layarni, Layani, Leiarni, not sure which way yet?? HELP? Which way would u spell and what are ur opinions?? another name that popped up is Leiarna?!! That's similar and pretty I think.
Hubby loves Sienna. I like both names and would love middle name to b Belle but he says nooooo! any other suggestions on middle names and which name u think is prettier? Think we are going with Leiarni Sienna but not set in stone yet. would really appriciate opinions on the names and how u would spell?! I want the name prounounced as Lay- arn- ee ! We do like unusual names our son is called Kailan ( Ky-LAN)
Thank you xx
August 24th, 2013 11:08 AM #3renrose Guest
Leilani (three syllables) is no more of a mouthful than Leyani (three syllables). Getting rid of the L does absolutely nothing except make it look like you don't know how to spell Leilani.
Leilani Sienna is lovely. Go with that or come up with a different first name.
August 24th, 2013 11:14 AM #5
I much prefer the original Hawaiian name of Leilani and personally, I don't find it a mouthful at all. It just rolls off the tongue and it's meaning of "heavenly flower" is gorgeous. I'm afraid all of your spellings would diminish any charm the name has for me. My advice to you: if you're going to make up a name, keep it as simple as possible because your daughter will probably have to spell it for the rest of her life. Keep the spelling as close to the way it's pronounced. I would go with Layarni if you want the "lay-arn-nee" pronunciation. I have to say that Leilani is much prettier in sound and look than Layarni but that's just my taste.All the best,

I much prefer Leilani, too. It's beautiful and is much easier to pronounce to those of us unfamiliar with Hawaiian names. Taking out the L makes the pronunciation more stilted (to me) and the spelling looks off.

Three Crutchfield advisors listened to ten tracks from various musical genres to hear the difference a subwoofer makes when listening to music in a car.
Subwoofers in sealed boxes play "tight" bass, while ported boxes sound "boomy." Which type you need depends on the style of music you like and how you want it to sound.

Reykjavik (AFP) May 22, 2011
Iceland's airspace temporarily closed down early Sunday because of a violent eruption of the country's most active volcano, the airport administration Isavia said.
"The status right now is that Keflavik airport, our biggest international airport, is closing. The airspace is closing," Isavia spokeswoman Hjordis Gudmundsdottir told AFP.
The airspace closure, she said, "affects pretty much all of Iceland right now, at least for the next hours. ... Flights to and from Iceland are shutting down."
The decision came after Grimsvoetn, Iceland's most active volcano located at the heart of its biggest glacier Vatnajoekull, began erupting late Saturday, sending a plume of smoke and ash as high as 20 kilometres (12 miles) into the sky.
Winds remained fairly calm Sunday, appearing to send the ash cloud north and northeast, potentially threatening flights routed to the north of Iceland, Gudmundsdottir said.
She said a new update on the situation was set for 1200 GMT.
Saturday's eruption began just over a year after the nearby Eyjafjoell volcano erupted, shutting down large swathes of European airspace for almost a month amid fears the volcanic ash could wreak havoc on aircraft engines.
