Fried Green Tomatoes with Cajun Shrimp Rémoulade
It's rare that I'm blown away by a dish, but when Shravan and I first tasted these fried green tomatoes, inspired by John and Judy's honeymoon dinner at the Upperline Restaurant in New Orleans, we knew they had to debut at our supper club.
Each bite is a creole flavor explosion. On each fried green tomato – crispy fried goodness outside and cool crunch inside – sits a perfectly poached shrimp and a tangy, spicy spot of sauce.
But by the time we made it to the market, it was the tail end of tomato season, and the green ones had all but disappeared. Trolling the Union Square greenmarket vendors, we snagged armfuls of crisp veggies, fresh goat cheese, and delightfully weird gourds, which I immediately snapped up for centerpieces.
We had resigned ourselves to tomatillos as an acceptable substitute when we spied a lone box of green tomatoes, alarming the saleswoman with our extreme excitement.
We ended up frying both, for comparison's sake. The tomatillos were more tart, and held up decently in the pan, but didn't have quite the crunch. In a pinch I'd use them for this dish because I know I won't be able to wait for spring to make this again.
Fried Green Tomatoes with Cajun Shrimp Rémoulade
The following recipes are from the Upperline Restaurant in New Orleans. There, the tomatoes are dipped in buttermilk before dredging them in seasoned corn flour (finely ground corn meal), although recipes vary tremendously; some cooks dip them in eggs and use plain corn meal or wheat flour.
Makes 4 servings (as appetizer)
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
4 to 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 slices green tomato (completely green if possible), approximately 1/2-inch thick
1 cup corn flour, lightly seasoned with salt, and black or white pepper
24 medium shrimp, poached, peeled and chilled
1 cup (approximately) chilled remoulade sauce (recipe follows)
Mixed greens
In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg.
Heat oil in a large saute pan over moderate heat.
Meanwhile, dip tomato slices in egg mixture, then coat with corn flour. Place tomato slices in pan in a single layer. Do not crowd. Cook over moderate heat until golden brown on bottom. Turn and brown on other side. (Total cooking time is 3 to 4 minutes.) Tomato should be cooked all the way through but not mushy. Exterior should be golden brown.
On individual serving plates, place 2 slices of tomato next to each other and top each slice with 3 chilled shrimp. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons remoulade sauce over the shrimp on each slice and garnish plate with a few mixed greens.
The tomatoes are served warm or hot. The shrimp and remoulade sauce should be cold.
Variations: Eliminate the shrimp and put the remoulade sauce directly on the tomato slice. Crawfish, scallops or lobster may be substituted for the shrimp.
Remoulade Sauce
Group A Ingredients
1/2 cup Creole mustard or other spicy mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Salt, to taste
Group B Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped heart of celery
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon grated white or yellow onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion, white only
Hot sauce, optional
Combine ingredients in Group A except salt and mix well. Add salt to taste.
Add olive oil in slow stream while whisking mixture. Add rest of Group B and mix well. Add a few drops of hot sauce if a spicier flavor is desired. Sauce should be spicy and tangy. Cover and chill before use. Covered and refrigerated, the sauce should keep about three weeks.

Wonderful dish here and the images are amazing! Found this recipe blog post from a keyword search for "Cajun" on FoodGawker and led me here.
Upperline has always been a favorite restaurant in Uptown New Orleans, and during the period and tutelage of Chef Tom Cowman (he was also an associate and chef friend of mine) we always loved the garlic inspired dishes.
Culinarily yours,

My husband and I had something very similar last summer at Bistro 1896 in Asheville, NC abd we are still not over it! I'm delighted to have found this recipe and can't wait to surprise him with it!
Rosemary permalinkMarch 25, 2011 2:01 pm
I make Fried Green Tomatoes every August with Ribs and Corn on the cob when everything is in season. I'm going to kick it up a notch and make this amazing recipe next time! Looks awesome!

Kenya presidential candidate hovers near 50 pct
NAIROBI, Kenya The leading candidate in Kenya's presidential election, Uhuru Kenyatta, saw his percentage of the vote yo-yo just below the 50 percent mark early Saturday, a race too tight to call with only a few votes outstanding.
The election commission said just after midnight that it would announce final results at 11 a.m. Kenya time, an announcement that ended any concerns of overnight violence by supporters of a losing candidate.
A win by Kenyatta could greatly affect Kenya's relations with the West because the candidate faces charges at the International Criminal Court for his alleged role in directing some of Kenya's 2007 postelection violence. The U.S. and other nations may scale back ties to the East African nation if he becomes president.
The last tally posted early Saturday showed Kenyatta, the deputy prime minister, with 49.71 percent of the vote with 98 percent of locations - 285 of 291 - tabulated. Kenyatta had bounced as high as 51 percent Friday night as the election commission updated returns.
Electoral expert Tom Wolf, a research analyst with the polling firm Ipsos Synovate, told The Associated Press that the late votes coming in from Kenya's Rift Valley were a "very abundant vote basket" for Kenyatta. His running mate, William Ruto, who faces similar ICC charges, is from the Rift.
"On a scale of zero to 10, it seems to be about a seven or eight that he'll probably just get over" the 50 percent mark, said Wolf. "I would be a little bit more surprised if he didn't get over 50 than if he did, but neither one on the face of it would be a complete surprise."
The other leading candidate is Prime Minister Raila Odinga. His campaign manager, Eliud Owalo, told AP late Friday that the prime minister's team believes there will be a run-off. If Odinga loses, his camp will likely launch a legal challenge. Odinga had 43.5 percent of the vote in Friday's last tally.
Odinga's camp abruptly called a news conference late Friday and just as abruptly rescheduled it for after the announcement of final results.
Despite the Odinga optimism, a Western election observer said the international community was forming a consensus around the belief Kenyatta was likely to win outright. The observer spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss internal diplomatic talks.
There was also a belief that Odinga was not likely to protest the vote in a manner that would increase the chances of violence, the observer said, but rather honor his pledge to respect the result and petition the courts with any grievances.
The Kenyan capital has been sleepy since Monday's vote for president, the country's first election since its 2007 vote sparked tribe-on-tribe violence that killed more than 1,000 people. But security forces in riot gear took to the streets Friday in regions of the city that could turn tumultuous after results are announced.
The prime minister's supporters took to the streets after Odinga in 2007 said he had been cheated. In Kibera, Nairobi's largest slum and a bastion of Odinga support, many believe this year's results have been rigged as well.
"If you look at the way the tallying is being done there is rigging," said Isiah Omondi, 27. "If Uhuru wins and wins fairly, we don't have a problem with him. He can be our president. But not like this."
The U.S. has warned of "consequences" if Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding father, wins, as have several European countries. Britain, which ruled Kenya up until the early 1960s, has said they would have only essential contact with the Kenyan government if Kenyatta is president.

Tognum In New Russian Engine Venture
Diesel engine manufacturing plant to target rail, mining, power generation applications; engineering center for technology development
Tognum AG, the manufacturer of MTU diesel engines, and JSC Transmashholding, one of Russia's largest manufacturers of rolling stock, have reached an agreement to set up a joint venture company for diesel engine production in Kolomna, near Moscow.
The companies said the establishment of MTU Transmashholding Diesel Technologies was an important milestone in their long-term relationship and the further development of the CIS-market with modern diesel technologies.
The collaboration between the two companies dates back to June 2011, when the parties entered into a partnership agreement stipulating their rights and obligations with regard to the establishing the joint venture.
The new plant is expected to produce up to 1000 engines per year for applications including rail, mining and power generation. Plans for the new facility call for the assembling, testing and finishing of Tognum's MTU Series 4000 diesel engines and generator sets, as well as sales and aftersales service.
In addition to manufacturing, Transmashholding and Tognum plan to set up a joint engineering center for diesel engine development, with an expected project investment of approximately €80 million. Plans for the design of the new production plant are to be completed by November 1, and production is scheduled to begin by December 2015.

Happy Birthday calmcdermott!
MYSTERY SOLVED!!!! They're off a Focus ST170 Mk1, they're on and working a treat :-) Sent from my iPad using Ford OC
I'm going to have to go round some local car mid places and see of any of them know what to do. Hope the car passes with these on as they're shot!
That's what I'm thinking my only option is but yeah it's standard fiesta pads, this is why I'm really confused
Yep and it's tiny in comparison, when I put the smaller discs on the car and attached the caliper a to the hub, the pads were a few centimetres above the disc lol.
I have got absolutely no idea, tried looking for a make on them but again they're that corroded it's impossible :-/
I have absolutely no idea why you would change them to confuse a new owner!! Anyway here are the pics
You can't tell, the back is completely rusty :-(
I have absolutely no idea, the discs were on the car when I got it, I can tell that they're after market though :-/. I haven't had it to a garage as yet.

Fiesta St500 Brake Disks
calmcdermott posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubOK so completely and utterly confused. The car is due new disks and pads, the rear have been done but the front well, this is where the confusion starts. Standard fitment for the car is diameter wise 278mm but the ones I have are 333mm (theyre quite corroded so might be more or less). The suspension is standard, so's the hubs and the pads but yet they dont fit!!! Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance
Fiesta St Suspension Knock
calmcdermott replied to calmcdermott's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubOk so update: - Checked the bumper and wheel arch lining and secured. - Changed the anti roll bar bush again, drop links changed last year, changed the suspension mount ensuring the bolt at the top is tight and also changed the lower suspension arm, it's bushes and ball joint. So now I am completely and utterly confused! Could anyone suggest anything else?

Fiesta St Suspension Knock
calmcdermott posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubOk here we go. Had a knock coming from the passenger side front suspension for a while now, I've had the suspension stripped down and checked by 4 mechanics and everyone is baffled, it's not just me as they can hear it too (3 of the mechanics I personally know so wouldn't lie to me just to get the money). Changed the suspension mount, checked the spring and strut, changed the anti roll bar bushes and drop links and also changed the bearing. Everything is tight with no play. Best way I can describe is that it sounds like a hollow knock and sounds quite like well to be honest like me tapping on my iPad's screen whilst typing! It's over any little bump in the road and is driving me up the wall, any suggestions?

Stocking Heel Sluts
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Stocking Heel Sluts is a site put forth by Mark Hollywood Studios. I thought at first that the material would focus on stockings with heels and it does, but there's plenty of masturbation as well. The babes are all supposed to be Australian, but I didn't hear anyone speak with their sexy Aussie accents. I suppose that was a bit of a letdown.
The design is decent, but I wasn't fond of how they organized their content. They have a separate section for their nine videos and the rest of the sections are for photos and they're broken down by category, like boots, boobs and stockings. My main issue with that is if a busty chick is wearing stockings and boots, then her gallery will appear in all three categories. You can imagine how fun counting the material is in this kind of situation.
My best estimate is that they offer about 275 photo sets. You'll see chicks posing in thigh-boots and touching each other, masturbating, stripping and even playing roles like naughty cop. The thing is, you'll see them wearing stockings of all kinds and heels of all types, but sometimes not together. And I was irked by the fact that some sets didn't really focus on either.
There's a stunning gallery with Karla Cain. She's wearing a black tube top and tight, ripped jeans and as the gallery progresses, she shows off more and more of her smoking-hot bod. The problem is, she's not even wearing stockings or heels! That blows, but at least I can count on high-res photos (1600x1200) in every set. They don't offer Zip files, though.
I think it's obvious that this site is focused more on photos at the moment, but you should know that the movies are available in HD. Some are ASF files, others are AVI. Most are focused on babes masturbating with toys and they have music playing in the background. A couple of the babes use a stripper pole before getting down to business.
I've talked about how you'll find the photo sets in multiple sections and I also want to touch on the lack of pagination in these areas. You'll have to rely on "next" and "previous" buttons to navigate your way around, which isn't really ideal. At least you can save something to your favorites, so it's easy to find it again. You're able to post comments and rate the content if you like.
I like the idea of this site, the exclusivity and the very reasonable price, but it's too disorganized in concept and execution. They also haven't added a new movie since the end of 2012 and there haven't been any photo updates in just under three months. Stocking Heel Sluts has nailed quality, but they have many other things to work on.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Over the last few days we have been blessed with wind - from the right direction as well. We have had the gennaker up and managed to get 12.8 knots in 15 knots apparent. Not bad! When we sail with the gennaker, we make sure that it comes down when the wind reaches 16 to 17 knots apparent, as we do not want it to reach our next waypoint a day or two before the boat! Otherwise, the sea has built up a bit with the strengthening wind and we currently have a 2.5 meter swell from the east-southeast and just over 20 knots from the same direction.
One thing that we had not seen in their abundance were the large schools of flying fish. Normally we encounter them before reaching St Helena but this trip we have only started seeing them now, at latitude 10 degrees south. The water must be too cold for them so they most probably have been migrating to the warmer waters north of us. We have also not put our fishing lines out for a few days but need to do so from tomorrow as we are slowly entering Dorado territory and there is nothing better than a nice fillet of fresh Dorado baked with butter, herbs and a bit of sweet onion. Let's hope we can bag one or two over the next few days.
Before St Helena we had birds around us each day. Now we occasionally see a little storm petrel dipping in our wake, picking up the small sea life churned up in our wake. It will be another week before we get our daily dose of birds coming to have a "look-see" at us. Also, the last dolphin we saw was also before reaching St Helena. Strange that this section of the Atlantic Ocean is so devoid of sea life.
So, what do we do each day, you may ask. Well, we have a number of books with us which are slowly being read. However, there are only the three of us on board and we run a 24/7 watch system. This means that we need to try and catch up on lost sleep whenever we can. Then there is the preparation of our main evening meal. Last night we had baked macaroni cheese and tonight we are having sirloin steak with pepper sauce, baked potatoes with cream cheese and some sweet gem squash. Hopefully our meal tomorrow evening will be baked Dorado! If not, something on the chicken line will have to do.
Then Hardy and Andries have a few hundred DVD's and a portable DVD player. I must admit that I am not a movie fanatic and have not joined them watching any of the movies. But, they enjoy a movie every second evening or so and it keeps them occupied.
Now, on a subject totally different, I have been delivering yachts for a number of years and before each trip I brief the crew about having strange dreams. Each crew member has been having them on this trip as well - dreaming about subjects that are totally unrelated to sailing and sometimes quite disturbing. The other night Andries was having a really bad one and was shouting out in his sleep. He did not remember it when we spoke about it the next morning, which is quite unusual as, mostly, the crew tend to remember the dreams. Don't know if other cruisers experience this whilst undertaking long passages but I am sure some professor of sleep at some university would love to come on a delivery to monitor the crews dream patterns. It should make an interesting study.
Well, that's it from aboard Moorings A4001 for now - regards from Andries, Hardy and myself, John.
The weekend was quite interesting. The forecast was that we should have a light breeze of about 10 knots from the southeast. Well, that did not materialise and we had light variable airs from everywhere except from the southeast! However, we have 100 percent overcast sky today with 10 knots slowly developing out of the east-southeast - let's hope it continues to develop into some useful wind to sail by.
As mentioned above, the sky is overcast with thick black clouds. We could also do with a good downpour of rain to wash the Namibian desert dust off the boat that has imbedded itself into every conceivable nook and cranny - as well as the layer of salt that is slowly building up on the boat. And then, if it is a good downpour, a good wash in fresh water for ourselves would go down a treat as well.
Things are much warmer now that we are slowly getting closer to the equatorial region. When we departed Cape Town we were all freezing and went about our watches in multiple layers of clothing with heavy foul-weather gear on top of that. Now it is down to T-shirts and short pants, although there is still a chill in the air at night. However, once we reach the equator and further north, I am sure we will all be complaining that it is too hot - just can't win, can we.
Yesterday (Sunday) we had a really flat sea and Hardy ventured up the mast to inspect all the rigging and fastenings. He found that two small bolts that hold the VHF antenna had worked themselves loose and did a quick repair job, right on the top of the mast. Andries, being a young strapping lad, did the winch work whilst yours faithfully did the supervision and gave instruction - lazy sod I am!
We also managed to catch two sizable Bonito yesterday. Part of one was consumed, pan fried in lemon butter, for dinner. Pasta was on the menu tonight (Monday) and Hardy is going to try his hand at fish cakes tomorrow evening. I must add that Andries is really learning how to cook - he made flapjacks on Saturday and baked two great loaves of bread and the fish dinner on Sunday.
Until later in the week, regards from Andries, Hardy and myself, John.
Our stop in St Helena was the shortest one I have ever made. We arrived in the anchorage at 10:30 and had to wait on the boat until 15:30 for the islands Medical Officer to come out and check that we did not have Swine Flu. What a waste of time! We then had half an hour to visit immigration, port authorities and customs to clear in and out at the same time.
Whilst en-route to the island we noticed that two bolts had come out of our furling drum and disappeared overboard. One of our missions on the island was to source replacement bolts and this was sorted out even before we managed to get ashore. Bruce (ZD7VC), a local radio HAM, called me on the radio shortly after we had anchored and I asked him of the availability of the bolts. He kindly left us a packet of assorted bolts with Jose, the man who was storing our diesel for us. My great thanks to him for his assistance - the bolts will be returned to you as soon as I get back to Cape Town.
We then had a quick beer and went down to the customs shed to collect our diesel that Gavin, one of our other delivery skippers, had left for us the day before. Then back to the boat to repair our furling drum and re-hank the genoa, top-up our diesel tanks and we were ready to sail. Not a very exciting visit for Hardy and Andries, who have never been to the island before.
The weather forecast for our region is for light east-southeast winds of around 10 knots, increasing to around 15 knots tomorrow (Sunday). Well, the forecaster who predicted those winds has a lot to learn. Through the night until this morning we had flat seas with a variable maximum 4 knots of wind. This afternoon we have had a northerly breeze of maximum 5 knots and, to slow us down even more, we have had a slight counter-current. We are motoring at the moment! Let's hope that the winds do fill in and we can put up some serious sail and make this a "sailing boat", as it should be.
This leg between St Helena and the northern Brazilian coast is a pretty quiet one as far as ships are concerned. We may see one or two around until we cross one of the shipping lanes just before reaching the next waypoint, just over 1800 nautical miles away. However, I have started a competition - the person who spots the most ships between St Helena and a waypoint just south of the island of Barbados, wins a bottle of good Caribbean Rum at the end of the delivery. More on this as we progress.
Hope you folk are having a great weekend. Regards from John, Andries and Hardy.
I can talk about the albatross, night sky and other things that are really wonders of nature, but this blog report is about the "toys" I carry during deliveries.
Firstly, I have a laptop computer with a special charger that charges the laptop off a 12 volt DC cigarette lighter socket. The laptop contains all the software needed to type up reports, navigate via charts of the world (with a small GPS plugged in) do email whilst on land and do email at sea via HF radio or satellite telephone. It also contains the software for manipulating or re-sizing photographs taken with my digital SLR camera. Then it has a library of over 17000 music tracks which connects to one of my other toys, an Apple iPod - one of the most handy little gadgets that anybody can take sailing.
My digital SLR is quite a good camera and is now a number of years old. I carry two zoom lenses and have taken quite a few really remarkable photographs over the years I have been delivering yachts - on the other hand I have also take a hell of a lot of really bad ones as well! But that's the great thing about going digital - it costs nothing to view your photographs and delete the bad ones.
I am a radio HAM (amateur radio operator) and my fourth toy is an Icom 706 MkIIG ham transceiver that has been altered to be able to operate on both the HAM bands as well as the marine frequencies. As most boats I deliver have no counterpoise or earth plate, I simply trail a 13.5 metre length of heavy duty electric wire behind the boat as we are sailing. Likewise, most delivery boats do not have HF antenna, so I simply buy a length of ski rope and insert a further 13.5 metre length of electric wire into the centre of the rope and, with the one length attached to a small tuner at the stern of the boat, hoist the other end of the rope up the mast - the antenna only goes about halfway up the rope and thus is kept well away from the mast and rigging. Then, coupled with an SCS Pactor modem linked to the radio and to my laptop, I can send and receive email (and update the blog) at no cost - the Winlink email system is free to licensed HAMs and may be a good consideration to folk that intend to go long term cruising. Getting a HAM licence is also a lot easier today than it was a few years back - there is no longer a requirement to learn Morse code.
Okay, the above explains some of my "toys", but on a different subject, the delivery of this boat, we are now a day away from St Helena island. We were not going to stop there but have been told that one of the other delivery boats has left us a few drums of diesel. As all the delivery boats heading for the Caribbean have been experiencing light winds on the leg between the island and the Brazilian mainland, the company thought some extra diesel will assist us on those days where the sea looks like a mirror and headway is not being made. Nice of them.
Well, from Hardy, Andries and myself, we wish you well until the next blog report. John.
After we departed Walvis Bay, we had 20 to 25 knots of wind from the south-southwest, accompanied by a 2 to 3 metre swell out of the southwest. The wind has been giving us a good boost with good daily averages of 6.4 knots. However, the swell has made life a little "difficult", especially when our cook-of-the-day has to prepare our evening meal. Well, no meal has ended up on the floor as yet.
We have had one fishing line out but have had only caught a small Bonito, which was consumed in the form of fish cakes on Monday night with Andries doing the honours. It was his first time making fish cakes and he mastered the art quite well. Tonight we are having "Boerewors and Pap with Tomato and Onion Breedie". For the uninitiated, Boerewors is a South African sausage, mostly cooked on the coals of an open fire. Pap is maize meal which is cooked to a very thick consistency. Mmm, my mouth is watering!
As we have a new engine in the port hull, it needed it's 50 hour first service. First Mate Hardy is also our chief engineer as well as the smallest of the three of us aboard. He spent half an hour in the engine room yesterday, doing the service and came out with a handful of "treasures of the bilge" - screws, washers and nuts that were dropped by the factory staff and could not be found. We tend to collect a small bag of these bits and pieces during deliveries and keep them in case we ever need some spares. The photo above is Hardy doing his thing in the engine room.
For those who are not aware, on the right of this blog are some links which you can click on. There is one called "ShipTrak", which if you click on it, it will give you a map of the world and my last 60 days positions. I send in a position report at ships noon each day and you can keep an eye of our progress or lack of it.
We are finding this boat quite a pleasure to sail. As stated in a previous blog report, we are quite loaded with extra diesel and water and a good supply of provisions and other load gear. She is not a racing boat but we are managing to get some quite good speed out of her, which is helping us to get to our destination quite nicely. We should pass St Helena Island on Friday and let's see how she performs on the 1800nm stretch from the island to our next waypoint, located between the Brazilian coast and the island of Fernando de Noronha. More to follow as we progress. So, for now, regards from the crew, Andries, Hardy and myself, John.

i won't deny it i'm a straight ridah
In all honesty dude, you need to do a little research by reading some of the threads on this forum and over at sheldonbrown.com. Secondly, if you still have any questions or confusion regarding what size bike to get, we'll need some info on your height, inseam and such to even begin trying to help you.
More importantly, What are your "ordering" for your first FG?
Im sure the members on here will be a better help in aiding you with finding a quality bike, not sizing you.
If your buying online, the size that "should" fit you may not once the bike gets there. On of the downsides of ordering online.

TranSouth News
Freed-Hardeman Tabbed Preseason Favorite
Volleyball -
Thu, Aug. 18, 2005
Viewed 2242 times
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Freed-Hardeman University Lady Lions were tabbed as pre-season favorites in a poll of the TranSouth volleyball coaches. They were followed by the RedHawks of Martin Methodist College, the defending TranSouth Champions Union University, the Lyon College Pipers, the Cumberland University Lady Bulldogs, and the Trevecca Trojans.
After a program best 31-5 (8-2 TSAC) record in 2004 which included their first ever trip to the Region XI tournament, the Lady Lions return five of their six starters from that team for the 2005 campaign. Their only loss is Cheri Kull, who was one of the top setters in the nation. Freshman Martha Ray of Mt. Dora, Florida will step in and fill the spot.
The RedHawks come off an outstanding season in which they posted a 31-18 record, including a 6-4 mark in the TranSouth, and they are looking to improve that mark and challenge for the conference title in 2005.
Union University return just two players from last year's TranSouth regular season and tournament championship team. Union also won the NAIA Region XI title and advanced to their first-ever National tournament appearance. The Bulldogs posted a final ranking of No. 14 in the nation. The Lady Bulldogs will also be breaking in a new coach this year as Union grad Steven Gream takes the helm, becoming only the second coach in program history.
The Lyon College Pipers look to build off a fourth place finish in the TranSouth, but are expected to post a similar finish in 2005. Despite losing three-time first team all-TranSouth performer Ceca Brckalo, the Pipers return Susie Harper, Daria Paunovic, and Alyson Boone, while addind Lee Davis, Jessica Sylvester, and Ashley Edinbyrd.
The Cumberland Lady Bulldogs are coming off a tie for fifth place in the TranSouth in 2004, They return two all-conference performers in Debbie Perry (1st team) and Rachel Vanderburg, and they add junior transfer Angela Medvid, who led Pasco Hernando CC to the NJCAA Division-1 Volleyball tournament.
The Trevecca Trojans round out the preseason poll, as they are coming off a rebuilding year in which they tied with Cumberland for fifth in the TranSouth. They lost only one senior from that team, 1st team all-conference performer Jodi Reimer, but they add two key newcomers in setter Kelly Huff and Taina Ovchinnikov – an all-region transfer from National American University.

Cyclones Close 2011 With Win Over MVSU
AMES, Iowa - Melvin Ejim recorded 15 points and a career-high 15 rebounds to help Iowa State hold off Mississippi Valley State, 67-65 Saturday afternoon in Hilton Coliseum.
The Cyclones shot a season-low 34.4 percent and had an 18-point lead trimmed down to three points late in the second half. However, the Cyclones got a strong effort from their bench, as Ejim spearheaded a 41-point outing from the reserves. Ejim, who also drilled a career-high three treys in three tries, posted his fifth career double-double in the victory.
Iowa State ends non-conference play at 10-3.
Iowa State opened the game by making just one of its first nine shots as the Delta Devils jumped out to an early 8-2 lead. The Cyclones then went on a 21-6 run to go up 28-14 with 5:56 left before intermission.
Ejim had eight points and seven rebounds in the opening period to help the Cyclones go into the break with a 36-23 lead, as ISU held MVSU to just 25.8 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes. ISU led by as many as 18 points in the first half.
Iowa State struggled to shake off the Delta Devils in the second half. After the Cyclones scored the first five points of the second period, MVSU tallied eight-straight points to cut the lead to 41-31 behind a pair of 3-pointers from Terrence Joyner.
Another 8-0 run cut the Cyclone lead to just five points (47-42) with 9:27 remaining, as the Cyclones went over four minutes without a basket. A Kevin Burwell trey made it 51-47 at the 7:00 minute mark, but Scott Christopherson answered with a trey on the other end to put ISU back up 54-47.
MVSU was only down by four points with under 0:30 seconds left, but Paul Crosby misfired on a jumper and Ejim corralled the rebound. He then made a pair of free-throws to put ISU up 65-59. Burwell then made a trey to cut the lead to 65-62 with 0:02 seconds left. Chris Allen moments later sealed the win with two free-throws.
Anthony Booker came off the bench to record a season-high 10 points and Christopherson posted 11 points. The Cyclones outrebounded MVSU, 49-43, the 12th opponent the Cyclones have outboarded this season. Iowa State made just 15-of-26 from the free-throw line (57.7 percent).
Royce White played just three minutes in the game while battling flu-like symptoms.
Iowa State begins Big 12 play on Wednesday, playing host to Texas at 8 p.m. on ESPNU.

How to do Research when you are not Affiliated* with UCR
Visit a Research Library (colleges, universities and some cities)
Public universities make nearly all of their resources available to people who are in the library.
Visit your Public Library.
Many public libraries have article databases, even remotely accessible, and have interlibrary loan privileges (free or at a cost). The Los Angeles Public Library has many article databases (and electronic books) that are available remotely to to anyone who has ever visited and gotten a card. It may be worth a vist if you are ever in the LAPL area.
Free and open access research resources (databases of articles etc)
- Google Scholar - Most everyone who has ever used the Internet is familiar with Google, but when looking for more scholarly resources, Google Scholar can be a more useful resource. Type in your words and get a list of journal articles, conference proceedings, government reports etc... You will likely not have access to most of the items that come up, but you might have some access and you will at least know what is out there.
- PubMed
A free database of medical literature. You will likely not be able to get to many of the papers, but you may not want to. The abstracts are often very informative.
- Agricola
A free database of agricultural literature. The abstracts may be informative, but you will likely have to go to your public library to order the most interesting articles from interlibrary loan.
- Ingenta connect
A general scholarly database. Clicking on the title of the articles will often provide you with an abstract, but only resources marked with a blue F symbol will be available free off-campus.
Scholarly journals which are free or have free backfiles
- Highwire - 37 Free science journals and 238 science journals with free back issues.
- PubMed Central - Free articles
- JAMA and Archives - Free six months after publication with registration
- BioMed Central - All Content is free and peer reviewed, many with high impact factors
* Current UCR students, faculty, and staff have all priveliges including interlibrary loan, remote access to online resources, and access to SciFinder Scholar. UCR/UC Alumni, holders of a Riverside Public Library card, and Friends of the UCR Libraries have priveliges to check out books, and all of the public has access to all of our resources while in the library except for SciFinder Scholar. There are some other catagories of people with certain priveliges, this is a general statement.

Peterborough U18 4-0 Villa U18: Villa bow out of FA Youth Cup
Posh made a flying start to this rearranged clash with Jaanai Gordon giving them the lead.
A curling free-kick from Charlie Coulson was prodded home by Gordon after seven minutes.
Soon after, Jevani Brown struck for the home side, who established a 2-0 half-time lead.
His deflected effort went through a crowd of players and found its way into the bottom corner.
In the second period, substitute Levi Wright took advantage of a slip from goalkeeper Craig Hill to prod into an empty net.
And Coulson rounded off the scoring by converting from close range to cap a miserable night for Tony McAndrew's team.
Peterborough will now advance to play Leicester City in round four.
VILLA: Hill, Lyden, Kinsella, Melvin, Bateman, Webb, Graham, Ward, Robinson, Grealish, Calder. Subs: Lewis, Watkins, Crooks, Crowley, Strain.

A Must Read - Share
Apple is looking into launching iPhones with a 4.7-inch and a 5.7-inch screen, Reuters reports, citing sources with knowledge of the matter
The company is also considering launching a cheaper variant of the iPhone, that would cost around $99 and come in 5-6 colors
The moves are described as being "under discussion," meaning they may never actually happen. If they do, however, it would mean Apple has more or less abandoned its position as the standard-setter in the smartphone market and become just another trend-follower
Long-known for its limited palette of products, Apple always focused on

Drogba,Eto'o in contention for FIFPRO XI
Samuel Eto'o and Didier Drogba have made the list of candidates for selection as forwards in a FIFPro World XI.
The two strikers who have dominated African football for almost a decade now are among 15 nominees for three places in the world line-up.
They will come up against heavyweights of World football like Barcelona's Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo Radamel Falcao and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Didier Drogba has been credited for a fine season with Chelsea, leading the Blues to FA Cup and Champions League glory before departing for Shanghai Shenhua.
Despite failing to steer Cameroon to a second consecutive Africa Cup of Nations, Samuel Eto'o has been the backbone of Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala as he guided them last term to their first ever UEFA Europa League qualification.
The FIFPro World XI, chosen by 50 000 members of the global players' union, will be announced on January 7 at the Fifa Ballon D'Or gala in Zurich.
FIFPRO World XI Forwards

|Annual Meeting Contributed Papers 2009
|START Conference Manager
(Submission #13)
Usability in general and web usability in particular are complex concepts with multiple dimensions and elements/attributes. What is more, there is no definitive definition for these terms. This leads to discrepancies in policies/standards/guidelines which facilitate good usability practices. To address this problem, we took the first step of systematically analyzing the terms represented in various formally published definitions from a number of sources in the subject areas of library & information science and computer science. Our results reveal that there are approximately 11 elements/attributes of usability and web usability addressed within these sources. The top five attributes are: learnability, effectiveness, user-related attributes, users attitude/satisfaction, and efficiency. Based on our findings, we make relevant conclusions and give recommendations for future research.

Creditors and Consumers Pay Price in Bankruptcy Fraud
While federal bankruptcy proceedings can be a lifesaver, they can also be a vehicle for fraud.
Bankruptcy Fraud
Creditors and Consumers Pay the Price
Federal bankruptcy proceedings can be a lifesaver for honest individuals overwhelmed by debt as a result of unemployment, a medical crisis, divorce, disability, or any number of other legitimate reasons.
Unfortunately, bankruptcy can also be used by the unscrupulous to get out of paying their debts…even though they may have the financial assets to do so. And often, financial fraudsters use bankruptcy filings to prolong their illegal white-collar schemes—buying time before the game is up for good.
Success Stories:
The FBI is the primary investigative agency responsible for addressing bankruptcy fraud. And while there are other financial crimes that require larger investments of our resources—like mortgage, financial institution, and health care fraud—we take our responsibility to pursue allegations of bankruptcy fraud very seriously. We focus on cases with large dollar amounts, the possible involvement of organized crime, and suspects who file in multiple states. Currently, we have nearly 300 pending bankruptcy fraud cases open around the country.
How the process begins. The U.S. Trustees Program, part of the Department of Justice, oversees the bankruptcy system. When it uncovers suspected fraud, it refers the information to the appropriate U.S. attorney and to the FBI. Working closely with the U.S. Attorney's Office, our field office investigators open a case if warranted and begin conducting interviews and reviewing financial documents. Based on the complexity of the case, we can also use techniques like undercover operations and court-authorized electronic surveillance to gather additional evidence.
The culprits. They typically include private citizens, small business owners, corporate CEOs, real estate agents, politicians, and loan officers. We've even seen cases where bankruptcy attorneys and bankruptcy petition preparers have engaged in criminal behavior at the expense of debtors and creditors in bankruptcy proceedings.
The most common types of bankruptcy fraud. The majority of our casework involves people who have lied under oath or provided false documentation during their bankruptcy proceedings, concealed or transferred their financial assets, or committed tax fraud. Other schemes include using false identities to file for bankruptcy multiple times in multiple locations, bribing a bankruptcy trustee, and intentionally running up credit card bills with no intention of paying them off (also known as "credit card bust-outs").
Our investigations have shown that many times bankruptcy fraud is committed in conjunction with crimes such as credit card fraud, identity theft, mortgage fraud, money laundering, mail and wire fraud, etc.
The FBI often partners with other federal agencies—like the Internal Revenue Service—to investigate bankruptcy fraud. We also participate in many of the 70-plus bankruptcy fraud/mortgage fraud working groups and specialized task forces around the country…with U.S. Trustee Program representatives, U.S. attorneys, and other federal partners.
Bankruptcy fraud not only affects creditors like businesses and financial institutions who lose money from fraud, it also results in higher credit card and loan fees and often higher taxes…for everyone. So if you suspect bankruptcy fraud, please contact the U.S. Trustees Program at email@example.com or your local FBI office.
If you are considering filing for bankruptcy for legitimate reasons, contact an attorney who specializes in bankruptcies—and do your due diligence before hiring a lawyer by getting referrals from someone you know who has declared bankruptcy, checking with your local bankruptcy court, contacting your state bar association, etc.

Soccer's top doc gears up to host
int'l tourney
By Judah Issa
"I watched the soccer games with
my father," Dr Rudy Gittens, an Ottawa-based orthopaedic
surgeon and head of the Canadian Soccer Association's
Sports Medicine Committee, reminisces. As he speaks,
his voice, with its soft Trinidadian lilt, warms to
the subject like a slow Caribbean sunrise. "In those
days, the ball was big and heavy with a laced-up slit
on the side. The men who played the game were big and
strong, so it was an impressive sight for me as a child,"
he adds with a laugh.
"Those days" were in the early
forties, in Port of Spain, Trinidad, where the MD grew
up. The twin-island nation of Trinidad & Tobago
didn't have professional soccer back then, but Dr Gittens
had the amateur teams of his district to inflame his
imagination and give rise to his lifelong passion for
the sport.
Dr Gittens will finally get to
indulge that passion on his home turf when Canada plays
host to the Under-20 World Cup of soccer from June 30
to July 22. "It's amazing that a country that has snow
on the ground for five months of the year was able to
get the tournament," he says with pride. "I hope it
will help expand soccer in this country."
His hope looks well on its way
to becoming a reality, with record breaking ticket sales
and a frenzy of media excitement that exceeded organizers'
expectations. The world's finest under-20 players will
be competing, and like any true soccer fan, Dr Gittens
has his favourites. "Our Canadian team, of course,"
he says, without a moment's hesitation. "We have an
excellent team and the friendly exhibition games have
been impressive. The South Americans have strong teams
too, and the Central Americans," he adds, to be fair.
higher goal
Dr Gittens didn't always watch from the sidelines. "I
played goal in high school," he recalls. "We had a record
of 52 goals for, none against during a tournament. Then
in the cup match, a goal was scored on me. Only one
goal." He adds with pride, "We still won the cup."
He left Trinidad in 1953 to study
in Saskatchewan. "I studied pharmacy at first," says
Dr Gittens. "Then I decided to get on the other side
of the prescription and got my medical degree in Ottawa."
Through it all, he continued to
play soccer, or football as he still calls it, making
some necessary adjustments along the way especially
that Canadians seem to think body checking isn't just
for hockey. "The football mentality here that
if you didn't get the ball, you got the man got
me in some trouble," he laughs. "I guess I had a little
more skill than some of my university colleagues, so
I could handle the ball. But I was getting hit, so I
had to learn to protect my ankles!"
in the snow
The weather required another adjustment in attitude
from the young student. "One Saturday afternoon, about
three months after I got here, there was a game on and
it was snowing," says Dr Gittens. "So, I didn't go out
to the game, I didn't think you played in snow. Then
they came looking for me." Resignedly, the young Caribbean
pulled on his boots and made the most of it. "When I
told my relatives, they said 'What have you got yourself
into?'" he recalls with a chuckle.
Now, with 41 years of sports medicine
behind him and many honours crowning his achievements,
everyone knows what Dr Gittens has got himself into.
Earlier this year, he received a Mayor's Cup from the
city of Ottawa for lifetime achievement, a nod to his
tireless efforts as a volunteer with the Canadian Soccer
Association Medical Committee. This May, Dr Gittens
was inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame.
The cherry on top came a week later when the long-standing
member of the FIFA (the international soccer federation)
medical committee entered the hall of fame of CONCACAF,
the soccer federation of the Americas.
resting on his laurels
Dr Gittens was an early pioneer in his chosen field.
"I became involved in Sports Medicine at a time when
it was two words with not much behind them," he reveals.
"But things have developed over the years, with consideration
of physical health, mental health, injuries and the
safety and development of playing facilities, among
other things."
His work with FIFA put him in direct
contact with some of the biggest names in the sport,
but the mild-mannered doc was more impressed with their
behaviour off the field than on it. "What I find so
interesting is that many of them are very courteous,
polite and approachable," he notes.
One player in particular stood
out in his memory. "Ronaldinho is a very delightful
gentleman," he admits, speaking of the FC Barcelona
forward. "He was younger when I met him, but was very
lively and very talented, and being Brazilian, there
was a rhythm and a flair to his game that was very impressive."

Chobani Donates Yogurt Withheld From Olympians to Food Banks
Chobani is the official yogurt of the 2014 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams.
United States Senator Charles Schumer's diplomatic efforts were not successful in persuading Russian heath-department officials to allow the more than 5,000 individual-sized cups of Chobani yogurt meant for USA's Olympic athletes into Sochi. The plain and fruit-flavored Greek yogurt will instead be delivered to food banks in New York and New Jersey. [Earlier]

It never manages to rise above its one trick.
Nicolas Winding Refn directs and Mads Mikkelsen stars in this ponderous exercise in arty veneers. Refn boldly strips back the dialogue and plot to reveal a picture big on ideas but poor in execution. As the story plods along, stopping only briefly for some guttural violence now and then, it becomes evident that the makers have made a painfully boring movie. At first the drained out colour photography looks like a masterstroke of ethereal atmospherics, but this also wears off and only compounds the overall feeling of monotony that pervades the pic... read the rest.

Best Kids Parties: Korean Dol
My Party
Location: Charlotte, NC
Having never attended a Korean 1st birthday (Dol), I was shocked to find out how many people would be invited to this celebration. I would compare the guest list to that of a wedding instead of just a few close friends and family, as most Americans would celebrate. With the amount of people that were to attend, we had to be a little creative and stretch every dollar so we wouldn't bust our budget.

Ever since my daughter was introduced to Lalaloopsies in December of last year, she has been hooked! I love the look of the environments in which the characters live; it really lends itself to having a handmade look. I didn't realize just how deep I would get into hand making everything. I went a little Lala handmade crazy.
Best Kids Parties: Vintage Train
My Party
Name: Kingston, 2
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Our son Kingston just turned two. When it came time to start planning his second birthday party, it was important to us to come up with a theme that was something he would love and something that represented his two-year-old interests. One of his favorite toys is a wooden train set we gave him for Christmas this year. We loved the aesthetic of vintage locomotive imagery, so we decided to go with a vintage train theme.
Best Kids Parties: Milk & Cookies
My Party
Name: Max & Molly, 1
Location: Stamford, CT
For my twin's first birthday party I decided on a Milk & Cookies theme. Since I have a twin girl and boy, I wanted to stick with a gender-neutral theme. I had seen some cute parties with this theme on Pinterest and liked it because at one they could finally have milk and who doesn't love cookies! Our colors were brown white and green.
Best Kids Parties: Nautical
My Party
Name: Kyler, 1
Location: Orlando, FL
For my daughter Kyler's first birthday, I knew I had to do a nautical theme because they are just too cute! Everything was a DIY project since I created everything myself. I wanted to keep the costs to a minimal but still make a big impact.
Best Kids Parties: Pearl
My Party
Name: Harper, 1
Location: Austin, TX
When our daughter turned one, we wanted to throw her as wonderful a birthday as she was! Inspiration came from her being a June baby, and her birthstone is Pearl. The pearl party was born.
Best Kids Parties: Animal Safari
My Party
Name: Casper, 2
Location: La Crosse, WI
We kept things pretty casual for Casper's second birthday, opting to focus on the details to make it a special day. Cas loves animals so we went with a safari theme.
Best Kids Parties: Little Explorer
My Party
Name: Daxton, 1
Location: Orem, UT
My little boy turned one, and every mom knows that this is the age when they really love to explore the outside world. So we decided on an explorer theme.

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hi! LegalGems here. I'll do my best to assist you.I can only provide general information, so a follow up consult with a private lawyer is recommended. I am sorry to hear of this. It sounds like they got a Default Judgment. This is a judgment that the court enters when the defendant does not show up - the court will assume that everything, as represented by the plaintiff, is true, as there is no one to object to the contrary. As such the court enters a default judgment for the amount of money requested by the plaintiff. If the plaintiff did not receive proper service, they can file a Motion to Vacate Default Judgment in the court that issued the judgment. Generally courts like to see a party get their "day in court" so if service was improper they will generally vacate the judgment. The creditor then has the option to pursue it again in court, assuming the statute of limitations has not expired. Also, the plaintiff has the Burden of Proof, meaning that if they cannot prove the debt is valid, or that the defendant is the one who owes the debt, then no judgment is issued, and the case is dismissed. In Oregon, the statute of limitations for a debt is generally 6 years http://www.statuteoflimitations.net/oregon_statute_of_limitations.htm so it is likely that if the motion to vacate is successful, the plaintiff will be barred from filing a subsequent law suit. Here is a sample Motion to Vacate Judgment. http://courts.oregon.gov/Coos/docs/MotiontoVacateJudgment.pdf

Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Report No. (FANRR-34-6) 2 pp, July 2003
With child obesity soaring and the juvenile incidence of diabetes and hypertension also on the rise in the United States, there is strong policy interest in the potential of USDA school meals to promote healthy diets and weights. It has been argued, however, that improving the nutritional quality of school meals will raise costs. This report examines whether improving the nutritional quality of meals served by the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program increases program costs.

WASHINGTON — The ACLU on Tuesday announced a trio of lawsuits that will test the constitutionality of state laws barring same-sex marriage.
The suits, filed in Pennsylvania and North Carolina with another to come in Virginia, are part of a carefully crafted effort to capitalize on the Supreme Court's recent same-sex-marriage ruling striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. That law, known as DOMA, barred the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.
Legal challenges to state same-sex-marriage bans have popped up in other places since the Supreme Court's decision last month. But the ACLU was a central figure in the DOMA case, United States v. Windsor, and it has the resources to launch a coordinated, potent campaign in the states.
The lawsuit in Pennsylvania, the only Northeast state that bans gay marriage and does not allow civil unions, focuses on the state's refusal to recognize other states' legally performed same-sex marriages. Many said after the Supreme Court ruling that such a stance now might be legally vulnerable.

Most Read Stories
An attorney involved in the case said it is about fairness and whether the government can justify continuing to treat same-sex couples differently from heterosexual couples.
"We believe that this law cannot stand under any level of scrutiny because excluding same-sex couples from marriage does not further any legitimate government interest," attorney Mark Aronchick said in a statement. "It serves only to insult and hurt lesbian and gay couples and their families."
Notably, Aronchick echoed Justice Anthony Kennedy's opinion striking down DOMA. Kennedy wrote that DOMA ensured that "if any State decides to recognize same-sex marriages, those unions will be treated as second-class marriages for purposes of federal law."
In North Carolina, the ACLU suit is on behalf of six families with same-sex parents. It challenges a state ban on so-called "second-parent adoption," where one partner in an unmarried couple adopts the other's child.
"North Carolina's law denies children the permanency and security of a loving home simply because their parents are lesbian or gay," said Jennifer Rudinger, executive director of the ACLU of North Carolina. "This is fundamentally wrong. No parent should have to worry about what will happen to their children if something happens to their partner."
The Virginia suit is expected to be filed in the coming weeks, the ACLU said.
State officials in states with same-sex-marriage bans have vowed to defend their laws, especially those passed with overwhelming public support. They say the lawsuits seek to subvert the will of the voters.
In the lawsuit filed Tuesday in Harrisburg, Pa., the ACLU is representing 23 plaintiffs: 10 gay couples, two children of one of the couples, and the surviving partner in a same-sex couple who were together for 29 years.
James Esseks, who directs the ACLU's Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender & AIDS Project, said the group hopes to secure the right for gay couples to marry in Pennsylvania, force the state to recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, and increase pressure on the Supreme Court to ultimately rule on whether same-sex marriage should be legal across the nation.
"Pennsylvania recognizes straight people's marriages from Maine and New York, but it doesn't recognize gay people's marriages from Maine and New York," Esseks said. "The question is, why?"
Opponents of same-sex marriage questioned why activists were seeking redress in court rather than through a ballot initiative in Pennsylvania. Under Pennsylvania law, the state legislature has to approve resolutions before they can be put on the ballot for a direct vote, and no resolution endorsing gay marriage has passed at this point.
"We think it's very telling gay-marriage advocates are using the courts so heavily," said Thomas Peters, communications director for the National Organization for Marriage. "They only support the voice of the people when they think it will go their way."
Peters said his group is focused on Indiana, where Republican Gov. Mike Pence has urged the legislature to pass a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage so it can be put before the voters as a ballot initiative in 2014. The organization is also involved in a legislative fight in Illinois over whether to legalize gay marriage there.
A pro-gay-marriage group called Freedom to Marry announced Tuesday that it would spend $500,000 on state initiatives to legalize gay marriage, including $250,000 on an effort to reverse Oregon's ban through a ballot initiative next year. The group said it had hired Richard Carlbom, who spearheaded the successful effort to legalize gay marriage in Minnesota, as its director of state campaigns.
Helena Miller and Dara Raspberry, who are plaintiffs in the Pennsylvania lawsuit, met in Brooklyn in 2006 and were married in Connecticut in 2010. They moved to Philadelphia later that year in part to be closer to Miller's family as they prepared to have children.
Miller gave birth to the couple's daughter, Zivah, on May 28. While Raspberry would have automatically been named on the birth certificate as the other parent in a state where gay marriage is legal, the couple has had to hire a lawyer and go through the process of second-parent adoption in Pennsylvania.
"We have a wonderful family and we get wonderful support from our family and friends," Miller said. "Unfortunately by moving to Pennsylvania, we effectively became unmarried."

Quote The_Big_Piano_Player:Is
there a program which displays Lyrics/Chords/Prompts in sync with a backing track?
Quote TheChorltonWheelie:Quote The_Big_Piano_Player:Is
there a program which displays Lyrics/Chords/Prompts in sync with a backing track?You can use Powerpoint, timed
slides, or something like Windows Movie Maker. There are also various "karaoke lyric"
packages that you can use too.I have something similar, to give information
about the arrangements, lighting, marker cues etc, as well as lyrics and arrangements, and
I'd ignore the comments about being too lazy etc, etc, etc. I play in few tributes that
have some very big productions, with deps and stand-ins at every gig, and to fully
rehearse them all would be impossible and so the prompting is invaluable.I
export the track from Pro Tools, with the click present too, and I make a note of the
rough timings of each part, i.e. intro/verse/chorus. I then use movie editor to import the
audio, add all of the cues/notes/lyrics, and I then save it as a standard windows movie.
Within Pro Tools I can them play the movie, which will match the audio as I used the same
audio to mark the movie, and I then show that window to my 2nd monitor.It's
all very slick, even down to the fact that my prompter is a converted wedge monitor with a
14" widescreen LCD in it, so from the audience view it looks like a standard monitor.If I'm honest, most of the singers don't use the prompter as an excuse not to
learn their stuff, it's there for comfort/back-up and it has saved quite a few shows.

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
OI Update is an update notification app for the Android platform. This app makes it easier for you to find out when the apps you've downloaded actually have an update available. Considering this functionality is something that has been lacking up until now, it is definitely a great start.
When launching this app it automatically scans all of your installed applications and lists them out. Unfortunately most of the apps seem to have a question mark next to them, but you'll probably find at least one with a download symbol next to it. All of the apps do have the information as to what version they currently are, which can be pretty handy on it's own.
The download symbol means that you've got a new update to grab. Unfortunately, as of yet nothing can integrate with the Android Market so you'll be brought to the developers website to get more info on the app update. OI Update is alerted by the developers update as to when there is a new version, but it's up to the developer as to how a user can download the app directly. Some developers link to other sites where you have to search for the right file to download.
The concept for this app is amazing. Unfortunately being so do it yourself is going to turn a ton of people off. For that reason alone, this app is definitely not a must have but it's something that could become the most important app on the Android platform if they can figure out a way to go about it better.

Re: Ready to Get Certified?
I took my certification in June and while I didn't pass my first time around, it really didn't seem that bad. I'm retaking it in Oct. and I know it will be a different test. But it really helped me tremendously to get the nerve to take it when I was really only 3/4 prepared.
I've studied photography for years but my common sense didn't kick in...I should have FULLY prepared before taking the test.
I'm really hoping that the PPA will take steps in marketing that a CPP is the way to go. Every client I talk to has never heard of a CPP but they have all heard of a CPA...that's how our industry should be noted.
I'm willing to do everything I can to learn everything about photography I can, but I'm guessing that clients still may not see the value. I know images speak for themselves but...
Thanks for listening, wish me luck in Oct.
