The following week, the 2004 Pac-10 Tournament (top eight league teams from the regular season) gets underway at The Staples Center in Los Angeles (March 11-13).
SATURDAY - Ben Howland's UCLA Bruins, 11-13 overall and 7-9 (6th-place tie) in the Pac-10, plays its final regular season nonconference game of the season, hosting Mike Brey's Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 13-11 overall and 7-7 (7th-place tie) in the Big East Conference. It is also UCLA's last regular season home game of the 2003-04 season.
UCLA'S LAST GAME - Feb. 25 - at USC 78, UCLA 77 (OT) - Before 10,147 at the Sports Arena, UCLA overcame a 17-point second-half deficit to force the game into overtime, but USC's Desmon Farmer's 11 overtime points propelled the Trojans to a 78-77 OT victory. It was USC's fourth consecutive victory over the Bruins (and second season sweep of the two game series).
In the first half, the Bruins opened up a nine point lead (20-11, 11:27) on a jumper by T. J. Cummings. But USC outscored the Bruins in the next nine minutes 27-10 and led by eight at halftime (38-30).
In the second half, the Trojans opened up a 17-point lead (49-32, 17:41, on two free throws by Desmon Farmer). Over the next 16 minutes, UCLA mounted a comeback, and with 1:35 left in regulation, the Bruins tied the score at 65 (jumper by Ryan Hollins). That's how the first half ended (with five seconds left, Trevor Ariza tried hitting an open Bruin underneath, but the ball went out of bounds and the game headed into overtime).
In the overtime, UCLA jumped out to leads of five points twice, the final time at 74-69 (2:37, on a jumper by Cummings). But in the final 1:31 of overtime, Farmer scored nine of his 11 overtime points (he hit two three-pointers, a layup and a foul shot), to lead the Trojans from a 74-69 deficit to a 78-76 lead with 27 seconds left to play.
With .0.5 seconds left, USC's Nick Curtis fouled Dijon Thompson, who stepped to the foul line and missed the first shot (he inadvertently connected on the second shot/he was trying to bank it off the backboard to give the Bruins a chance at one more rebound and shot).
The Bruins had two players in double figures, Ariza's game and season-high tying 24 points (including a season-high tying four three-pointers) and Cummings' 14 points and team-high nine rebounds.
UCLA shot 45.3 (29-64) from the field, 42.9 (6-14) from three-point range and 61.9 (13-21) from the foul line, with 39 rebounds and 12 turnovers.
USC shot 41.2 (28-68) from the field, 21.4 (6-28/28 is an opponent season-high) from three-point range and 76.2 (16-21) from the foul line, with a game-high 41 rebounds (second-highest opponent total this season) and 12 turnovers. The Trojans were led by Farmer's 28 points and Jeff McMillan's 19 points and 18 rebounds.
UCLA HEAD COACH Ben Howland - In his first season at UCLA and his 10th year as a collegiate head coach. In his career, Howland is 3-6 vs. Notre Dame. In his last two seasons at Pittsburgh - in 2003, he led the Panthers to a 28-5 overall record, No. 4 national ranking, NCAA "Sweet 16" and the Big East Tournament Championship and in 2002, Pittsburgh was 29-6 overall (school record for wins), advanced to the NCAA "Sweet 16" and the Big East Tournament title game and Howland was the consensus National Coach of the Year.

LAST REGULAR SEASON HOME GAME FOR BRUIN SENIORS - Playing their final regular season home game today in Pauley Pavilion will be UCLA's senior trio - T. J. Cummings, Jon Crispin and John Hoffart.
UCLA vs. NOTRE DAME - UCLA leads it 26-18 and the teams haven't played since 1995-96 (the Bruins won that game, 83-58 in South Bend/Notre Dame's last victory was 79-63 at South Bend in 1993-94). From 1966-67 through 1995-96, the teams played at least once a season and from 1971-72 through 1982-83, UCLA and ND faced each other twice a year. The historic series has produced many memorable games. In 1970-71, the No. 1 Bruins lost at No. 9 Notre Dame (89-82, Jan. 23, 1971) and then went on their historic 88-game winning streak before losing at No. 9 Notre Dame 71-70 on Jan. 19, 1974. Six days later at Pauley Pavilion, the No. 2 ranked Bruins avenged the loss, defeating the No. 1 Irish 94-73. On Feb. 11, 1979, No. 4 UCLA defeated No. 1 Notre Dame in South Bend, 56-52.
THE FIGHTING IRISH - Have lost their last two games in a row, both Big East contests, 61-50 at No. 8 Connecticut (Feb. 23) and 73-59 vs. No. 13 Providence on Tuesday in South Bend. Prior to the two losses, Notre Dame had a three-game winning streak, with victories vs. nationally-ranked Connecticut (80-74, Feb. 9 in South Bend), Seton Hall (71-68, Feb. 14 in South Bend) and at defending NCAA Champion Syracuse (84-72, Feb. 16). Junior Chris Thomas, a finalist for the Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard Award, is the team's leading scorer (19.1) and assist leader (4.9).
TRENDS - UCLA is holding opponents to shoot just 43.0 from the field. Only five opponents (Stanford 56.1, Arizona .544, at Arizona .535, UCSB .522, USC .509) have shot better than .500 and eight have been held below (or equal to) .400 (5-3, losing to Kentucky, Washington State,h, Arizona State,a). In 16 Pac-10 games, the Bruins are shooting 46.8 from the field and holding opponents to 44.2. UCLA has outrebounded eight of its last 19 opponents (but has been outrebounded in eight of its last 12 games, with two ties, for a 2-10 record), with three ties, for an 8-11 record. UCLA's 53 second-half point total against Oregon State is its highest output of the year for any half (17 points vs. Kentucky in the first half is the lowest). UCLA opponent halftime low is 14 vs. Cal,h.
Brian Morrison - Was named a starter before the Washington State game in Pauley Pavilion (Feb. 5), but on Feb. 4 in practice, he sprained his right ankle and did not play vs. the Washington schools in Pauley. Morrison returned to action at the Arizona schools, but his right ankle continues to bother him (he still wears a walking boot) and he has not played in the last three games (Cal/Stanford in Pauley and at USC). Morrison is UCLA's No. 4 scorer (8.5). It's his second injury this season -in UCLA's 64-58 win over Michigan State in Pauley Pavilion on Dec. 20, Morrison suffered a left hamstring strain and missed nine games. In UCLA's 84-70 win over UC Riverside in Pauley, Morrison scored a career-high 28 points.
Josiah Johnson - Sprained his left knee on Feb. 16 and has also missed the last three games. He's appeared in 20 games (one start) and is averaging 8.8 minutes, 1.4 points and 2.4 rebounds.
Jon Crispin - Has made an impact at the end of his senior season and will start vs. Notre Dame (he also started vs. Stanford last week in Pauley). Averaging 9.9 minutes a game, Crispin vs. Cal in Pauley, had a season high six points (including two threes) in 17 minutes; in a career-high 28 minutes vs. Stanford, he had four points and a career-best four rebounds and he played four minutes at USC.

Patrol Commander
Captain Chad Dorn
The Patrol Division is commanded by Captain Chad Dorn. It is the
uniformed component of the police department that performs the
primary function of patrol duty - accounting for the largest number
of the Department's sworn officers.
Exemplifying the true pride and tradition of the Department, the
Patrol Division is marked by a philosophy of teamwork. The bureau's
patrol function, in its simplest terms, is the prevention and
deterrence of criminal activity and the provision of day-to-day
police service to the community. The work performed by officers of
this division is massive in its scope. Their mission is to protect
life and property, to prevent and suppress crime, and to preserve
the public order, all in the effort to maintain a safe and pleasant
environment for the citizens of our community. These are the
officers who are most likely the first to respond to any call for
service. They quell disturbances, write reports and conduct
preliminary investigations regarding criminal activity, investigate
traffic accidents, and apprehend violators of state and local laws,
among other things. Unlike departmental members assigned to specific
tasks, the uniformed patrol officer must be knowledgeable and
proficient at a variety of tasks. Practicing the concept of
community oriented policing, the uniformed officers are highly
trained in recognizing neighborhood concerns in addition to criminal
activity. Officers assigned to this division are the most visible
symbols of all city services and are considered the foundation on
which other police services are delivered.
Officers typically are assigned to a particular shift (days, swing
or nights) all of which are 12 hours shifts. Each of these shifts
provide coverage of the city in five beats which allow for a
blanketed coverage and quicker response times. Each shift is
comprised of a Lieutenant, Sergeant, and Patrol Officer. The Patrol
Division also has two DUI officers who patrol during peak hours to
strictly enforce the states DUI laws.
Chad Dorn can be contacted by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com
or by telephone at (601) 798-7411 ext. 112.

Struggling in Tokyo
Marital woes in Nashville echo around the world
Recently I traveled back to my hometown of Tokyo, Japan, to visit my parents who have been missionaries there since the early '50s. As we sat and talked, the doorbell rang; at the door was a young mother of three named Yoko, holding her youngest. Sixteen years earlier she had become a Christian at my parents' church, and since then her faith had deepened as my mother nurtured it. But that day Yoko was unhappy. Trapped in a difficult marriage and forced to share her home with a difficult mother-in-law and a woman hired to work in the family business, she had finally come to the end of herself and had run away from home with her youngest son. Now, two weeks later, she had finally agreed to go home with her husband, who had promised they would get a place of their own. Her face was blank this morning-there was no joy, just resignation. But it brightened and her eyes sparkled when my mother asked her to sing an Amy Grant song. I winced because of Amy and husband Gary Chapman's marital struggles. And I wondered which song from Behind the Eyes, Ms. Grant's latest album, she would choose. I also wondered if she fully comprehended the pain, loneliness, and isolation that Amy was far too genuine to keep off her record. "Why, why, why, does it go this way? Why, why, why, and all I can say," she began, interrupting my thoughts, "is somewhere down the road there'll be answers to the questions. Somewhere down the road though we cannot see it now. Somewhere down the road you will find mighty arms reaching for you, and they will hold the answers at the end of the road." Amy Grant has never met Yoko Sato and has no idea that a 32-year-old housewife in Japan has memorized her songs, beams with admiration for her, and blushes just a little when, after singing in church, friends call her the Amy Grant of Japan. It isn't Amy Grant's fault that Christians around the world have put her on a pedestal, that too many wrongly pattern their lives after hers. But it doesn't change the reality that they do. I have long advocated separating ministers from entertainers whose work happens to minister. When a minister falls, believers should take a moment to grieve, then quickly proceed to remove him from that ministry because the Bible has specific instructions about that. When entertainers fall, they should be encouraged to right the wrong and get up and sing about what they've learned so that others can benefit, just as believers the world over have benefitted from reading of David's sin in Psalm 51. That doesn't change the fact that there are thousands of Yokos who have confused artistry with ministry and have put Amy way up high, where, in the words of Steve Camp, "the air's too thin." The Grant/Chapman separation can be a useful time of healing for more than just the two of them. It can also provide the impetus for believers to begin taking their eyes off "Christian stars" and to look to God for direction. Maybe the Yokos of the world will take their eyes off Amy Grant and allow her to be human and not the standard of Christian perfection. In turn, maybe the American singer will be able to be inspired by a 32-year-old housewife in the suburbs of Japan who even now is rejecting the idea of divorce and fighting with all of her strength to salvage her marriage and keep her family together.

Every April 22nd school children, businesses, and ordinary citizens have an opportunity to celebrate Earth Day. That specific day has passed for this year, but it is not too late to add an interesting, hands-on twist to celebrating and renewing the earth: gardening with your family. If you've never gardened before, it can seem like a daunting process. If you live in a big city, it may seem like an impossibility. But happily it is something anybody, with any level of gardening experience, can do anywhere. It doesn't have to be a huge undertaking (although it can be if you're up for it). Read on for five ways to get your family garden started this month.
1. Pace Yourself
If you've got room in your schedule for a big project, great! But if you're time stretched, don't try to bite off more than you can chew. Start with something simple like an herb 'garden' that can be grown indoors, or outdoors in a small window box, flower bed, or ceramic pot. Regardless of whether your garden is large or mini, you still reap the benefits: connecting in a tangible way with nature, de-stressing, and quality time with your family.
2. Have a Plan
Before you head to the store to buy seed packets and start planting, take a few minutes to plan out your garden. First, have your kids consider the landscape you're working with: is it a flower pot or a patch of garden? Will it get direct sunlight or will it predominately lie in the shade? Next, have them consider your goal: do you want it to bear herbs, vegetables, flowers or some combination of those? By owning the plan, they'll be more invested in the garden long-term. And simply knowing the answers to these questions will make your shopping experience faster and less overwhelming.
3. Set the Stage with Egg Cartons
An easy way to give your garden a head start and get kids excited about planting is to start your garden indoors. Have them plant seeds in old egg cartons – something they can easily do on a rainy day. Put them on an old cookie tray and place them in a spot where they can be seen every day. Get them in the habit of checking the soil in their carton, and if it's dry, to adding a few drops of water. When the spouts are big enough, set aside some time to work together to transfer them to a more permanent place – indoors or outdoors.
4. Create Fun Plant Markers
Another great project for a rainy May day is creating plant markers. You can recycle old sticks from the yard and decorate them with seed packets and paint – or use something with a clean, flat surface, like a popsicle stick. Let the kids use their imagination – the more connected they feel to different elements of the garden, the more likely they are to want to tend to it over time.
5. Add A Dash of Friendly Competition
Nothing gets kids motors racing than a little friendly competition. Have a race between family members to see whose garden will grow the fastest. If using vines, measure whose climb the highest and fastest. If growing vegetables or flowers, enter in the State Fair or have a family fair at the end of the season to see who has the best produce and flowers. Check in together a few times a month to see who is 'winning' and announce the results to keep competition strong (and interest in caring for the garden high).

10 months later, the family of Maurice Clemmons is still living in a rental home, waiting for their claim to be settled so they can rebuild not just their house, but their very lives
The house once stood as a symbol of doing the right thing, of protecting one's neighbors.
Now, it's just an eyesore.
The windows are boarded up. The walls stripped down to studs, and the floors to exposed, scarred wood, at the city's orders and expense. Everything that represented family and music, travels and tradition has been hauled off to a storage unit because of the tear-gas residue that settled on it that November night.
"I never imagined that this is what I was getting myself into," Chrisceda Clemmons said as we stood inside her Leschi home recently. "And not just myself, but my family."

It has been 10 months since Clemmons told her nephew, Maurice, that he could not seek refuge here after shooting and killing four Lakewood police officers the morning of Nov. 29. He had been on the run all day — tended to and transported by a sorry band of relatives and friends who would later face charges — when he called her.
"I am coming to your house," Maurice Clemmons told his aunt. "I have killed four policemen and I need a place to rest and hide."
Chrisceda Clemmons, 46, and her partner, Michael Shantz, 58, refused him but sensed he would come anyway. So they sent the rest of their family to stay with Shantz's two older sons and went to the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct to say that Maurice Clemmons was headed to Leschi.
Police descended on the house for what would be an all-night siege, launching some 70 canisters of tear gas. They broke windows, damaged walls and furniture; everything was coated in a toxic residue that has to be professionally removed.
In the days after the siege, after Maurice Clemmons was spotted, then shot and killed by a Seattle police officer, the community embraced the family with cards, donations and funds in their name.
(Peggy Herman of the Leschi Community Council declined to say how much the family received in donations but called the response "phenomenal." Shantz would only say that the money was spent in three weeks for everything from food to replacement clothes.)
They had done the right thing, was the thinking. We need to do the same for them.
City officials, too, recognized what the family had done and pledged to care for the family and expedite their claim with the city.
And yet, 10 months later, the family is still living in a rental home, waiting for their claim to be settled so they can rebuild not just their house, but their very lives.
"We're nervous; we don't know what's going to happen," Chrisceda Clemmons said. "The city could still choose not to do anything and then we would be homeless.
"We did the right thing by protecting the community, and we just want to be back," she said. The Seattle City Council reviewed the family's claim two weeks ago during a closed, executive session. The council is scheduled to meet again on the issue within the next month.
"All I can say is that I am confident that the city is negotiating with the family in good faith," Councilmember Tim Burgess said when I asked where things stand. "It is extremely complicated."
At issue is whether the city is responsible for the damage done to the house in the Leschi neighborhood, and if so, at what cost?
Bruce Hori, director of risk management for the city of Seattle, called the city's responsibility "a legal determination."
"There's probably an argument that the city owes this," Hori said, "and there's probably an argument that the city doesn't owe this."
Still, the city "tries to be fair with people" and pays what it owes them.
"The city is working with the family to put them back into the position they were in before anything happened," Hori said. "They are not responsible for what [Maurice Clemmons] did, so they were put in a rough spot.
"I want this over, too," he said. "I want them to get their lives back, but I also want to do my job."
In the meantime, the family is holding things together.
They are all living in a rental house. At $3,400 a month, Shantz reasoned that it was an economical way to house the family, instead of putting them in a residential hotel. The city approved the move and has covered the rent.
And, since Shantz and Clemmons have been unable to perform as their musical group Bakra Bata or do their other jobs, the city also paid their mortgage for six months.
Shantz had been teaching steel-drum classes in the Seattle School District at the time of the siege. After months of negotiations, the city compensated Shantz for his 18 damaged drums. He has ordered replacements, but it will take six to 12 months to fill the order, and about that long to get his teaching programs reinstated.
He also does construction work, but his tools, too, were exposed. The city gave him an advance on new tools, but he's still rebuilding his 25-year stock and "limping along."
Chrisceda Clemmons owned a clothing store in her Arkansas hometown and did her buying here. Her inventory was damaged, and she hasn't had the funds or the time to go back and manage the store, so she closed it.
Merica Whitehall, 42, met the Shantz-Clemmons family in 1992 and started to perform with and manage their musical group. She and her daughter moved to Seattle and into the Leschi house 15 years ago.
"It was a practical way for a bunch of artists to live in a good neighborhood and build and create community," Whitehall said.
An adjunct professor who helps run the children's literacy program at Seattle University, Whitehall prides herself on keeping control and making good choices for herself and her daughter, Allanah, 16.
"Now," she said, "I feel powerless."
Whitehall doesn't miss her things as much as the feeling of having them around her. Her daughter's room, the girl's medals and ribbons from track meets …
"Everything's taken away," Whitehall said.
Shantz's older son, Absalom, 28, said the events of the past 10 months have "muted" him.
"There's an air of uncertainly; you're stuck in a fog and you're not sure which way is out," he said.
Teo Shantz, 22, still plays drums around town, so his connection to the arts community hasn't suffered. He wishes he could say the same for his family
"This has been like any dramatic event," he said. "As a strong individual, you go into it headfirst. But the effects of it don't start reaching you until later on; how deep it is.
"This has stalled the progression of our family."
Clemmons' and Shantz's son, Atticus, 14, made the honor roll last spring. He's now pulling D's and C's.
"I just didn't want to do anything," he said.
He has lost friends he said, "because of their parents. Basically, they thought I was a bad influence, a bad person and our family was messed up," he said.
Despite the way she was rushed out of the Leschi house last year, Juno Shantz, 8, feels safer there than anywhere.
"I miss everything," she said, then turned to her mother.
"What is going to happen?"
The family will meet with Hori today and hope to come away with an answer to that question.
"What we want is a fair opportunity to rebuild our lives," Shantz said. "And that's enough for us to have to suffer."

Is Mandiant a 'digital Blackwater'?
"It's a forcing function in the private sector, and frankly ... it's a forcing function with the government," said retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden, the former director of the CIA and the National Security Agency who now works for the Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm.
Mandiant's report raises questions, too, about the extent to which private companies are in control of defending the nation's most crucial networks, like power companies and water treatment plants. Another question is what rules of engagement private companies might rely on. When does a company strike back?
Mandia and his competitors said they are beholden to U.S. and international laws, which prohibit the type of intrusive acts they accuse China of taking. Mandia also says his clients aren't interested in starting a cyberwar with foreign hackers, in part because they are so vulnerable.
"The only time (hacking back) would really work is if we got all the bad guys out of our networks in the first place," he said. "Then you can start playing that game."
Still, publishing the hacking report was itself an offensive shot across China's bow.
Mandia said he started his company in 2004 after years in the private sector because there was no company focused on investigating intrusions. With a master's degree in forensic science from George Washington University, he became Mandiant's sole employee and, two years later, got a cash infusion from a college friend. Now, he oversees some 330 employees and the field is growing rapidly. He says he used to see maybe three major incidents a month when he started his business; now he estimates there can be anywhere from 30 to 100 incidents a month.
Mandia is hardly alone. A former co-worker, Stuart McClure, recently started his own company, called Cylance. He received $15 billion in venture capital funds for his business, which he says is distinctive because of its focus on prevention. McClure said in general he sees the future of cyberdefense residing in the private sector, with its deeper pockets and less red tape.
"With a commercial entity, you can get more creative," McClure said.
As for any problems they might cause in diplomatic or security circles for the federal government, Mandia and his competitors say that's not really on their radar, although he's hiring attorneys to help him monitor changing U.S. policies and regulations. But as a tech guy, he says he's focused on stopping intrusions.
"We're security guys," Mandia said. "We're not diplomats."

Quitting golf?
This is a entry that I would really like feedback on.
I am very close to quitting golf. I have never been so frustrated, embaressed and humbled by this game ever.
Lasr year after many years of neglect. I decided to get my game back. I was a 4 handicap in my early twenties. I worked endlessly all last summer on my game. I didn't play a huge amount of rounds but practiced at least 7 hours a week.
I had toyed around with the idea of lessons and had seen somebody here who is pretty well respected. Played the tour for 7 years in the 70's and early 80's. Was the number two am. in the country in 68. I saw him 2 or 3 times last fall but decided to comitt to a change in the winter. I could work inside 100 yard dome without wheather.
10 hours a week and 1000's of golfballs later we get to spring. I cannot break 90. I have even shot a round in the 100's. I was shooting 76 to 80 last summer. I played 10 rounds in May and shot under 90 twice.
I hit the ball great on the range. I cannot play. I hit it everywhere. I must take 4 pentalty strokes per round. I can't go back now, to what I was doing last year. I forgot, it does not feel right even when I try.
I am lost. Do not know what to do. I go a take a lesson and look awesome. He does not understand why I am shooting so poorly. My range swing is great. I try and play though and it all goes away.
I am ready to quit.

- English
Single Parent Meet is a dating and social network for lone parents. The site has around 77,000 active users. Members have access to email, live chat, photo browsing, and photo rating. Sending messages requires upgrading to a paid membership, which starts at $14.99 for 1 month.
Whether legally separated, divorced or widowed, men and women can join for free and start browsing profiles either locally or on an international scale. SingleParentMeet isn't exclusive to those with children however most on the site do have kids.
It is run by a company called PeopleMedia - they operate a number of niche dating services and are owned by Match.com.
Getting Started
Signing-up is extremely simple. Just choose a username, and answer the questions when prompted. At the end, you will have an opportunity to enter your own "about me" section and provide some details about who you are hoping to meet.
If you choose, you can also tell others about your marital arrangement and whether or not you have children living with you.
Membership Levels
Guest accounts (which are free) don't offer much in the way of privileges. Truthfully, they only allow you to set up a profile and take a peek within the site. Whenever you attempt to contact someone through email, or instant messaging you will be diverted to the upgrade page.
Email and chat privileges can be obtained by upgrading the membership with a monthly, quarterly or annual subscription. In addition, paying members are able to find out who's added them to their favorites list, see their flirt history, view video introductions and use Zodiac matching.
An enhanced membership is available for an extra charge. People who've purchased enhanced memberships have their profiles highlighted in searches - something the site claims increases their chances of getting noticed.
In Summary...
SingleParentMeet is a good place for those with kids to meet for platonic or romantic partnerships and a is possible option for those who are toying with the idea of getting back into the dating world.
The site routinely offers discounts for monthly subscriptions.
By Tara Miller
The good
- SingleParentMeet has an active community that's significantly larger that other parent dating sites
- It's quite cheap - handy for those on a budget
The bad
- Persistent complaints about the company's auto-renewals
- Guest users have very limited access
- Profiles are not aggressively moderated which means "scammers" can get through
ChristineNickelDelponteApril 21st, 2012
UselessI dodged a bullet on this one, they only provided matches for me when they asked that I join their monthly pay program. I wasted time on that site and gave them my personal information, these people are con artist....
SpizziMarch 2nd, 2012
Above averageI have never joined a site like this but was tempted by an offer for a free 3 day trial. It was all BS... Just want $$.
Waste of money. Company requires auto renewal and will not refund you completely when you cancel.
Nothing but a bunch of people "flirting". Also, requires auto renewal and they do not provide a complete refund if you cancel subscription. Poor customer service!
AnshiraDecember 9th, 2011
UselessI was contacted by a Black male with numerous profiles -Goodfella - he has also a numerous aliases -Loyd, Michael, Floyd, Mark. He claimed to be single, then divorced with a sad story. His pics were when he was in his 20's when he is close to 50. He is looking for defenseless women, mostly with kids and good credit. He's abusive, very smart in scams and gets money from girls and their credit cards. He's charming and says and do whatever he needs..Beware girls!! I'm new to USA and he told me he will help me to establish myself but all he did was to use me!
DeniseAugust 19th, 2011
UselessI agree with every single review that highlights the negative aspects of Single Parent.com. My story is quite painful and I do not have the energy to express my true story. I will just say that emotional rape is the modus operandi of this site. In fact, ladies...watch out for a true scammer named [****]. All of his information does check out; I even paid for a background check on him. All my efforts indicated that he was a credible, hardworking father who seemed like an ideal match. Well...watch out for the ones who have seemingly legitimate credentials but just "get off" on playing with the emotions of women. Oh...we exchanged the typical "love" vows via text messaging, telephone conversations and emails. Well... this man is a criminal of another sort. Real person with a criminal mind. He lives in Toronto, Canada.
RussAugust 19th, 2011
UselessThis place is just a waste of money and total rip off. Whole bunch of scammers and fake profiles. The operators barely speak English and aren't helpful.
When you sign up for 14 dollars per month in reality they charge you 19 dollars, but it is a hidden fee and is not mentioned anywhere. Don't sign up! I called them and after waiting at least 10 minutes managed to talk to some guy from India who barely spoke English. Of course he said he can't reimburse my money after their rip off. Do not use their service or give them your card account. I had to cancel mine after i signed up for them so that they don't have access to it!
ShirleyHemphillAugust 9th, 2011
UselessThis site is a total scam. 2/3 of the men on it are not single parents, or parents at all. They are looking to meet vulnerable women (I guess they think single moms are easy targets) or worse, they are looking for young children. Do not sign up. I have shared my concerns with the site but the only emails are get back are about upgrading my membership.
Linda_3354February 10th, 2011
UselessHey Krunchy-It was scorpiolove45 total loser said the same to me tried to scam me but I turned the tables on him reported him to the authorities here in Canada...Me too just a Bullshitter trying to take advantage of woman...he took himself off the site mysteriously when I told him I reported him. Had the nerve to call me a liar when he is the one trying to scam woman. Same story here he was in Africa building bridges his kids were starving and he needed money. I will feed my kids before I will feed his.
MicheleFlanneryJanuary 30th, 2011
UselessI also wanted to include the fact that i find it very curious that every person who has asked me to write them back is using Yahoo for their IM or e-mail address. I don't use yahoo and other people i know don't always use yahoo, so again I have to wonder if the site has a special yahoo address and mailboxes that they use to hire people to answer their letters. Just throwing that out there to think about.

Lie to me
"For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying," wrote Adolf Hitler in his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf. Those were the days when politicians across the globe discovered the first weapon of mass destruction. Dictators and elected leaders used mass media to greatly enhance the impact of their lies. Stalin, Hitler, and FDR admired, envied, and learned from each other in a race to consolidate power in the face of great economic, political, and military challenges.
The propaganda machine in the Soviet Union cemented a deep suspicion against private enterprise in the heads of several generations. The ministry of Goebbels in Nazi Germany unified the nation against an imaginary racial foe. One of the most remarkable successes of the American government propaganda in the early 1930s was persuading the general public that the New Deal has ended the age of unbridled, monopolistic, abusive capitalism to usher in a new era of recognizing the needs and protecting the rights of wage laborers and consumers.
The traces of this colossal lie are obvious a lifetime later. American "progressives" hail the longest-serving U.S. president as a hero of the workers' movement. At the "conservative" side of the political spectrum we keep hearing how Roosevelt's programs were "anti-business." What most of the New Deal fans and their equally passionate opponents do not realize is that, regardless of announced intentions, FDR's acts have institutionalized the symbiosis between big business and big government.
Regulation of the American financial markets has produced unintended consequences that few of us like. It has segmented the market, restricted entry, and dampened competition leading to the creation of financial giants. Why should we be surprised today that those institutions have acted on the assumption that the government will back them should they make too big of a mess? Unless "We the People" treat with proper, traditional, deep suspicion the ambitious plans of any politician to increase regulation of Wall Street, Main Street, or the healthcare industry, we run the risk of a future administration asking our children to bail out yet another gang of losers that have grown "too big to fail."

24/05/2008/9:51 pm, Fernandina Beach, FL
As we sat with Tina and Dick in the Amelia Island Plantation Conference Centre Saturday night, listening to the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra play an assortment of Gershwin, Berlin, Sousa medleys, I felt like I was just filled to bursting with life itself. I poked Jim to see if he was having the same feeling - and he nodded. We smiled the smile that has come to mean, "How about this!!" and sat back to continue enjoying ourselves.
The Devoes picked us up at 8:30 that sunny morning and we headed to T-Rays for one of their famous breakfasts - eggs done perfectly, sizzling bacon, creamy grits and a biscuit so tender it fell apart as I spread homemade grape jelly over it. From there we moved on to the Saturday farmers Market in downtown Fernandina Beach where we purchased cherries (all for me) and strawberries, crab cakes, muffalettas and wonderful peppery olive oil imported from Italy. Fiddle players made music, vendors sold veggies and cheeses and seafood and candy. People strolled and chatted and filled their cloth bags and baskets - just like in Farmers Markets everywhere.
Next stop was the organic farm where I bought those wonderful veggies earlier in the week. More pole beans, cucumbers, peppers and bunches of basil filled my bag. After a stop at Publix for grocery staples, we roared back to Tiger Point, cast off Madcap's lines and motored around the corner again to the main harbour. Afternoon siestas followed and then it was time for another adventure.
We loaded ourselves into Devoe's very cute new Honda CR4 and headed for the beach. Tina spread out her red, white and blue tablecloth, and from their basket and our tote bag emerged bowls and platters of gourmet picnic food: Crab cakes stacked with fried green tomatoes and topped with tartar sauce, crunchy veggies and curry dip, crisp-tender pole beans tossed in that new olive oil, chewy baguettes, strawberries, chocolate, biscotti - all washed down with some very good wines (purchased at incredibly cheap Florida prices.)
We cleaned ourselves up a bit and drove off to the Memorial Day concert I mentioned earlier. It was sponsored by ARIAS (Amelia Residents in Action for the Symphony), which assists the Symphony in presenting concerts for school children and sponsors several young people in their musical studies. One "new to us" portion of the program was the last offering. The lights in the room went up and the orchestra broke into a medley of the songs identified with each branch of the Armed Forces of the United States, beginning with the senior branch, the Army. As the music started, individuals stood up all over the room. As they sat down, others stood and it continued through each melody. We were completely puzzled by this until our friends told us that this musical tradition honours those who have served (or are serving) in any of these branches of the military. When their theme song is played, they stand. It was an interesting thing to see.
On the way home, we made one more stop - to the ice cream store. We each ordered exotic combinations of ice cream and syrup and nuts that were stirred together on a cold marble slab and scooped into cups. Rich, decadent, delicious. A perfect ending to an outstanding day.
23/05/2008/9:49 pm, Fernandina Beach, FL
We're still hanging out in Fernandina Beach and the wind has ceased to blow.
It has been a real treat to spend precious time with our friends Steve and Sandra again - in favourite dining spots around town and in the comfort of their kitchen. As is usually the case, we fell quickly into our pattern of enthusiastic appreciation of excellent food and stimulating conversation that ranged from cruising/boating to politics and global affairs. My brain stretches when I hang out with these people! We ate fajitas (Pablo's), pizza (Moon River), steaks (Surf City), shrimp (T- Ray's) along with Sandi's shrimp and pickled herring and Steve's spicy tostadas. We enjoyed an evening of community theatre - A Bench in the Sun. We met new friends, John and Lily, along with friends who were new last fall, Dick and Tina.
Sandra and Steve headed north on a car trip to Nova Scotia where they will resume their sailing excursions and we plan to meet up again somewhere in the Maritimes in the late summer.
When Sapphire and Solitaire arrived we paid a repeat visit to Pablo's, and did the rounds of West Marine and Staples and Wal-Mart in our rental car. (Enterprise has a great weekend rate) Tina Devoe and I managed to eat a wonderful lunch at 29 as we talked nonstop about Healing Touch experiences and caught up on all the magnificent energetic news since we last saw each other. She took me to an organic farm where I bought the crunchiest cucumbers I have ever eaten, sweet banana peppers, crisp purple carrots and feathery fennel.
Jim and I visited St Mary's, across the border in Georgia, where we picked up some parts that UPS was holding for us. We lounged around on the waterfront swings and walked up and down the tree-lined streets with ice-cream cones in hand - and mouth! Cathy, at the bookstore, told us a wonderful story of lending her car to four young people who were visiting town on a training ship and watching as twelve of them emerged from it when it was returned. As we paid for our book (Amber Room by local author Steve Berry) and told her we were boaters, she offered her car to us if we needed it. We had never heard of such trusting generosity until we started cruising and now it happens again and again; it is so heart warming. We walked farther up the street and stopped in at the used bookstore, Read Em Again, where we found more books and signed the wall, spying many familiar names as we perused the autographs there.
I bought a couple of new tops at the Pineapple Patch - with shape/without spots - and some new books at the Book Loft - Charlie Wilson's War, Tourist Trap (Carl Hiassen), Florida's Living Beaches (Blair and Dawn Witherington) with pictures and description of all sorts of shells and birds and plants that we've seen in the Bahamas and on this coast.
On Monday we moved around to Tiger Point Marine, just around the corner from the downtown waterfront - at the mouth of Egan Creek. Their technician, David, installed a new Zantrex charger, and diagnostician, Mike Harrison, spent hours going carefully over our history, tracking energy usage, and teaching us more about electrical systems than we had ever thought we could understand. He traced part of our problem to the alternator, took it away to be fixed, brought it back and reinstalled it. He took Jim off with him to West Marine to track down a new fitting for our shore power outlet that had also shorted out. All this was above and beyond his usual diagnostic services and we are immensely grateful. Add to that, the fact that he is a born teacher and really interesting person to talk with and we consider that we spent happy and worthwhile time with him.
John Gambill and Libby Ellis, owners of Hotwire Enterprises (www.svhotwire.com) arrived on Thursday night with our new KISS wind generator. They were on their way to the Florida Folk Festival and stayed to help us install it. Well ... perhaps I should say that we helped John!! Jim wired and connected; I was the designated locker diver whenever there were screws to screw or wires to tie up in awkward places. I'm pretty sure that by installing this, we changed the weather here. From steady winds of 15 knots and more over the days prior to installation, we didn't have enough to move those blades even an inch in the next 48 hours.
We have decided to wait a bit for solar panels. There is only so much we can do at one time - between financial considerations and decisions about where to put them. We know they will be part of our equipment eventually because Jim read that by using both systems, we could meet 90% of our energy needs. There is something really appealing about doing that without using fuel.
Madcap is turning into a cruising boat and while we are changing the look of her with all these gadgets, we are trying to keep her beautiful lines and graceful profile. This is a boat made for cruising and we have places to go and people to see.
It was a treat to be situated in the Creek for a few days; snowy white egrets tiptoed up and down the wharf on our starboard side, leaning far over and stretching out their long necks as they fished over the edge. Dolphins surfaced and dove along the port side as they moved up and down the creek. A blue heron stood motionless in the marsh grasses last night, red-winged blackbirds circled and called out with their distinctive voices. Mockingbirds sang great melodies from perches on posts. Apparently we missed a family of manatees on Friday night as we dinghied up the creek on a sunset bird watching cruise. Those mammals are like mythical creatures. We've seen signs everywhere to watch out for them but have yet to see one.
On Saturday we're off to T-Ray's for breakfast and to the Farmers Market with Tina and Dick; we'll move Madcap around to the main harbour; we'll do another load of laundry and pick up some shrimp and fish, and continue enjoying this area.
18/05/2008/12:07 pm, Fernandina Beach, FL
Ever since we arrived here, we've been on the go. So much for the laid back lifestyle. Mind you, I'm not complaining - we've been having a wonderful time.
Our delicious lunch at Karibo on Thursday - fat, tasty wraps with potato salad and a wedge of melon, dinner filled with laughter that night at Surf City with Sandra and Steve and their friends Lily and John - steak and baked potatoes with sour cream, started us off on a whirlwind of dining out and enjoying the fellowship of good friends in this attractive town.
We met Bill (and his dog Limo) at Tiger Point Marina on Friday. He has kindly agreed to let us tie up there for a few days while his electrician does a thorough diagnostic assessment on Madcap and installs our new charger. Later in the week, our new wind generator and solar panels arrive and will also be installed. Jim will write a posting on all the details of that.
Enterprise had a really good weekend rental rate so we picked up a Dodge Caliber (neat car, Liam!) and headed off to the UPS Store in St. Mary's to pick up a parcel that was waiting for us. We were also pleased to find mail and packages waiting for us at Steve and Sandi's. St Mary's is a pretty little town just across the border in Georgia. Many of our friends were there for Thanksgiving and we were glad to explore the place. We signed our names on the wall at the Read 'Em Again Book Store - a really nice one - as we picked up some new reading material. We sat on the swings along the waterfront, chatting with local folks and gazing out at the Georgia marshes across the river - now greening up with spring growth.
I got my hair trimmed at the well positioned Aveda salon on Centre St- it's been growing out from my usual short cut since Christmas and I thought "Why cut it all off?" so I just got it shaped a bit. Today, Sunday, it feels really hot so probably next time it all goes!
In the evening, Sandra, Steve, Jim and I started out with drinks in the leafy courtyard of the Florida Place Inn, moved on to a fabulous Mexican dinner at Pedro's and finished off the evening at the Community Theatre. The play was "A Bench in the Sun". It is always enjoyable to take in some local theatre and this one was no exception. It was an older cast and all the volunteers were in what we'd call the "senior" category, and Jim and I just loved the reminder that there is much to get involved in and have fun with, no matter what the age.
Jim had a reminder of a different kind the other day - and another bit of culture shock. We are so accustomed to Bahamian streetside conversations, that when a fellow about his age called to him as he walked through a residential area, he went over to talk. The first question was "Are you from around here?" to which Jim replied, "No, I'm Canadian," thinking that would create a warm, pleasant feeling (Feel free to chuckle here) No warm feelings followed and the man then asked him for a cigarette, which he didn't have. That's when things took a turn for the worse. Jim said he knew this wasn't a good situation and turned to walk away just as the man said, "You're not going anywhere; you're arrested." Just as thoughts of knives and weapons went through Jim's mind, the man grabbed his arm to turn him around and hit him across the face. It's a good thing it was an open handed slap or he'd have lost teeth. Jim said he was so startled that he shook himself loose, pointed his finger in the man's face and said very loudly, "You stop that right now!!" The fellow looked surprised and immediately turned and walked away. Jim figured he must have a mental problem because he didn't seem drunk.
Normally, neither of us would do anything more than say Hello as we walked by someone in a situation like that. He thinks that he was just so much in the habit of encountering friendly people that it never occurred to him this would be any different. We all laughed at Jim's reaction - anger and admonishment rather than fear. Good thing it worked! (Can those of you who know Jim picture him doing this?? He's got a fierceness that shows itself now and then.)
Every single other person we've met here has been fine and friendly. This incident will neither stop us from walking through the neighbourhoods here nor being sociable with folks we meet. That's what we've spent months enjoying. It has just made us more observant and careful again.
Jeannie and Jim

BOSTON Security officials at Boston's Logan International Airport are taking terrorist threats around the anniversary of Sept. 11 "very seriously."
Massachusetts Port Authority Interim CEO David Mackey said security officials are "certainly ready to protect the airport this weekend."
Mackey, airport and airline employees were among those who gathered at Logan's 9/11 Memorial Friday to remember those killed on the two flights from the airport that were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center.
National counterterrorism officials have received a credible but unconfirmed tip that al-Qaida has plans to set off a car bomb in New York City or Washington around the Sept. 11 anniversary.
"It is not focused on Massachusetts, but nevertheless, this is a sensitive time on a whole lot of levels, and certainly from a security point of view, and we will be vigilant," said Gov. Deval Patrick.
Mackey said Logan "will adjust the measures that we are going to take this weekend to meet whatever the threat is, and we take them all seriously, and we're paying careful attention."
"You know, our lives changed 10 years ago forever on this issue of terrorism," said Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. "Just stay calm and be observant."
MBTA Transit Police Deputy Chief Joseph O'Connor said there are no credible threats to the T, but riders should be aware every day.
"What we do want people to do while riding our system is know that it is safe to do so, and that we should carry on with our plans that we have for the weekend," he said.
O'Connor said anyone who sees suspicious activity on the T should call transit police. He said he MBTA is in contact with local and federal officials and will update their security plans if needed.
With reporting by The Associated Press and the WBUR Newsroom

19 April 2014
By Craig Gabriel
Photo: SMP ImagesAngelique Kerber (GER)
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA: Germany has taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the semifinals of the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas against Australia.
The tie, being played at the Pat Rafter Arena in Brisbane, saw Germany sweep all the sets that were played.
Andrea Petkovic got the visitors off to a flying start when she defeated Sam Stosur 61 76(7) and then world No. 7 Angelique Kerber overwhelmed Casey Dellacqua 61 60 in 51 minutes.
"I saw two great matches and I was very proud of the performance of my two girls," said German captain Barbara Rittner. "There are still three points to go and tomorrow is a new day. I think the matches were closer than they look.
"It was one of those days when Angie played a perfect match but if she took a bit off, Casey would be right there; Casey is very consistent and tricky, she plays so well at home so you have to put pressure on her all the time."
In the opening rubber, Stosur started with an ace but soon after lost her serve when Petkovic cracked a forehand cross court winner. A game later and the early advantage had been handed right back; however the German was looking a touch stronger as she pressured Stosur into dropping serve once more.
Petkovic went on a roll and when Stosur failed to hold serve in the fifth game, which was the longest game of the match at close to eleven minutes, there was a sense that this was trouble for the Australian.
Petkovic claimed the first set when Stosur dropped serve again by sending a forehand long, but Stosur was still trying hard to make inroads with the German's game. In the third game of the second set Stosur got aggressive and broke with a glorious forehand winner down the line.
"My energy level dropped a little, I don't know why and Sam started serving better; heavier and deeper and she pushed me back," said Petkovic. "I think in the end I was a little lucky and glad I got through in two sets.
"I didn't think Sam was nervous in the match. I just played aggressive in the beginning and she wasn't in the match but then she was playing well."
It was in the seventh game of the second set when Petkovic was serving that she cracked her left shin with her racquet during the service motion. It resulted in a sizable lump and a slight cut. She joked later: "It is hurting lots. I think I like broke my leg, but what can you do, it's Easter and this is my Easter Egg!"
Stosur had a 5-3 lead and served for the set at 5-4 but Petkovic broke in the tenth game. In the tiebreak the German jumped to a quick start but she needed five match points before giving her nation the first point of the weekend.
"I had put myself in a good position in the second set so it was disappointing to lose it," said Stosur. "She was able to get a good strike on the ball. The court is quick and she was striking the ball well. I wasn't overly nervous but she came out pretty clean and I should have been able to do that the way my opponent did."
Kerber was truly awesome as her left-handed game overwhelmed Dellacqua. The Australian was not being given any opportunities and it was really only in the final game of the match that she was able to trouble the German and unfortunately for the local fans, it was short lived.
"I played very good," said Kerber. "Of course it is easier to go on the court when your country is leading 1-0 but I knew I had to play very good because Casey is playing very good at home … but it is a very good feeling to be up 2-0."
Dellacqua, as expected, was very dejected with the lack of opportunities.
"I hoped to put in a better performance, I can't deny that," she said. "I wanted to go out and do what I do well; Kerber did that and my game was not good enough today. Tomorrow will be a better match-up for me than today when I play Petkovic."
Certainly the task is ahead for the Australian captain Alicia Molik but she remains optimistic that her team can turn things around.
"I was quietly confident that our worst result would be 1-1 (on the first day)," said Molik. "We had a great week of practice but it didn't go that way (on the court).
"I think Sam and Casey will be better tomorrow; we don't have anything to lose. Sam has a great track record against Kerber and if it goes to a fourth singles, Casey has had a good run this year. We'll have a rest and re-group and give it all. I don't see why we can't claw back from this."

Rate reflects Golden Age pass. The park itself is very nice, although it appears to be an older COE park. I'm basing this on the narrower roads than in many other COE parks, and the older restrooms and shower facilities. The entrance into the park itself is narrow, and the 4 miles of county road leading to the park is VERY narrow with patches and no shoulder. Parking pads themselves are narrow, though many are quite long. The biggest problem for us were the low-hanging tree limbs. At 13'6", we could only clear less than a dozen. Long rigs will also have a bit of an issue backing into the sites, which are also narrow. This is probably normally a very busy lake in the summer; this year the lake is down a ways, so there were quite a few available -- just few we could get into. Due to the low limbs and bad road coming in, we probably wouldn't stay here again. - HDT

Nice clean & quiet campground. Sites were spacious with large space between campsites. Ours had enough room for a tent. This was our first time here. We stayed 4 nights & would return again. - stella fouche

The park is well maintained COE park with improvements being added. The sites have room for slideouts. We use Verizon internet and could not connect. Our phones had good signal but it was 1X. We did get local channels on NBC and CBS on antennae. Water pressure seemed low but was alright. We would stay here again. - TexasRVer

It is a COE lake and campground which is well maintained and clean. Many campsites are near the water. The grass was well trimmed, and lake access was fair. The Host was helpful, friendly and courteous. I look forward to my next visit. - vmartin

One of the best COE parks around. Great views of the lake from most of the camp sites. - glbaker44

Beautiful COE campground on Canton Lake. Shady level sites, with most sites having lots of space. We stayed in A41 which is across the road from showers and playground. Check out site map as some sites have 50 amp electric and water however water not available at most sites. There is not a swimming beach within walking distance. Also lake is very open and subject to white caps when windy. - travelwithus
