Thank you for stopping by Vegging at the Shore! My name is Marci and I live at the Jersey shore. Growing up outside of Philadelphia, I spent my summers going "down the shore" and now live at the shore all year round with my husband and 9 year-old twins.
I am passionate about all things related to food. I am a firm believer that food tastes better when it is made from scratch. Besides homemade food tasting better, it is also important to be able to pronounce the ingredients going into your body. For a long time I debated whether to join a CSA (community supported agriculture) and now cannot imagine my kitchen without it. My mostly vegetarian recipes are driven by fresh, organic, seasonal ingredients when available. While I love cooking for friends and family, I also really love cooking with my family. I welcome my children into the kitchen because we share so many special moments together there.
Please feel free to leave your comments and feedback. Want to see a recipe for something? Let me know. Enjoy the blog!

With the death of Glenn Frey earlier this year, it's only appropriate that I begin this series on my favorite albums by spotlighting this album.
My first album in this series is Desperado by the Eagles.
Yes, that's right. You can have that Hotel California album. I really only like side two of that album, plus "Wasted Time" from side one. I'm more of an "early era" Eagles fan. It's not that I think they "sold out" when they became megastars (oy, do I hate that argument: when a band suddenly breaks into the mainstream fans start yelling "they sold out" just because they have a hit), but there's something about those earlier albums. Maybe it's that they're less polished and less fussed over (it took three years between Hotel California and The Long Run, and was that "Wasted Time" [to steal a song title]) that makes them sound more "real." (Going back to The Long Run, that album seems so forced it's not funny.)
For my money, Desperado is the Eagles at their best in all respects: songwriting, singing, and playing. It's definitely on my "desert island discs" list, and even after over 40 years since its 1973 release it still sounds fresh.
A Masterful Concept Album
The Eagles' second album, Desperado, was not only "less polished," it was an amazing concept album. It's hard enough to string together a group of songs about a topic, but imagine doing a group of songs that tell two stories simultaneously: an outlaw gang and a rock band!
Superficially, the historic content of the album tells the story of the Dalton Gang, a real-life outlaw gang who met their end in Coffeyville, Kansas when they attempted to rob two banks simultaneously on October 5, 1892. Although not as notorious or well-remembered as Jesse James, they were as ruthless as any band. (Interestingly enough, the Daltons were cousins of James, Cole, and Bob Younger, members of Jesse James' gang: their mother was the sister of the Younger Brothers' father!) The Eagles took the Dalton gang's story and spotlighted it.
The opening song, "Doolin-Dalton," details "two brothers lying dead in Coffeyville," a reference to Bob and Grat Dalton, who were killed in the shootout. In the song they commanded to Bill Dalton to "lay down your law books now, they're no damn good" reflecting the fact that Bill Dalton, the brother of Bob and Grat who was not at the Coffeyville shootout, had studied law before turning to a life of crime.
The historical accuracy was reflected in the photo on the back of the album: it depicted the Eagles, along with J.D. Souther and Jackson Browne, lying on a dusty street, hands tied together, with a group of "lawmen" (played by album producer Glyn Johns, road manager Tom Nixon, and other members of the Eagles' road crew) standing over them, mimicking the famous photo of the Dalton gang's corpses put on display after the Coffeyville shootout. The song "Bitter Creek" is named after George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb, who was a member of the Dalton gang.
However, this is also an album about the Eagles. It draws the analogy of a touring rock band to an outlaw gang, which, in the 70's, wasn't that far a stretch. This was best reflected in the David Blue song "Outlaw Man," which had the chorus of "A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man." Another reference was in the Randy Meisner song "A Certain Kind of Fool," where the "it" in the verse, "He saw it in a window, the mark of a new kind of man / He kinda like the feeling so shiny and smooth in his hand / He took it to the country and practiced for days without rest," could be a gun or a guitar. The line, "It's a certain kind of fool that likes to hear the sound of his own name," implies it's a guitar.
It is that amazing mixture of messages -- the historical outlaws and the modern rock band just starting on their way to success -- that makes this album so legendary. It is an album that needs to be heard start to finish to hear the story in its entirety.
Glenn Frey said that the band was blasted by fans for making "a (blankety-blank) cowboy record," but in reality the music on the album is all over the map. Everyone knows the beauty of the title track, which is one of the classic songs of the 70's despite never being released as a single (it is one of the most-covered songs by the Eagles). "Tequila Sunrise" has a country flavor, and "Saturday Night" and "Twenty One" have a definite bluegrass feel to them. However, "Out of Control" is one of the hardest rocking songs the Eagles ever did, and "A Certain Kind of Fool" and "Outlaw Man" are straight-ahead rock songs.
The songs by themselves are great. Add the multiple layers of not one but two concept stories and the power of this album multiplies. While most of Frey's obituaries mentioned "Hotel California" they should have told everyone, "Glenn Frey helped give the world Desperado."

Desperado - Eagles
Song By Song
Doolin-Dalton (written by Glenn Frey/Don Henley/Jackson Browne/J.D. Souther; lead vocals: Don Henley/Glenn Frey): the opening song compares the two outlaws meeting with the start of the band leaving "that peaceful life behind."
Twenty One (written by and lead vocals by Bernie Leadon): the upbeat, bluegrassy song expresses the carefree nature of a rock star in his early days before the tensions arise.
Out of Control (written by Don Henley/Glenn Frey/Tom Nixon; lead vocals by Glenn Frey): a hard rocking story about an outlaw's (or band's) night in town ("the gamblers call her Flo, come on and set 'em up again, I've got me a friend, and I think I'm getting out of control").
Tequila Sunrise (written by Don Henley/Glenn Frey; lead vocals by Glenn Frey): the biggest hit from the Desperado album in terms of chart success is this country-rock classic that uses the clever word play of the drink to describe the sky on a lonely morning after a lover has flown.
Desperado (written by Don Henley/Glenn Frey; lead vocals by Don Henley): perhaps the quintessential Eagles song, and one of the great songs by anyone in the 70s, this Henley tour-de-force has been covered by countless acts (from Linda Ronstadt to Johnny Rodriguez), but no one sings the song about loneliness better than Henley.
Certain Kind of Fool (written by Randy Meisner/Don Henley/Glenn Frey; lead vocals: Randy Meisner): Meisner's only lead vocal on the album is the warning about infamy, whether it's a rock star or an outlaw.
Doolin-Dalton (Instrumental) (written by Glenn Frey/Don Henley/Jackson Browne/J.D. Souther): an instrumental banjo/acoustic guitar version of the album's opening song.
Outlaw Man (written by David Blue; lead vocals by Glenn Frey): the only song not written or co-written by a member of the band, this David Blue composition nevertheless fit the theme of the album well enough to be included. (Blue, who died in 1982, was a singer/songwriter also on Asylum Records, the same label as the Eagles.)
Saturday Night (written by Don Henley/Glenn Frey/Randy Meisner/Bernie Leadon; lead vocals: Don Henley): another haunting song enhanced by Henley's vocals, this remains one of my all-time favorite Eagles song.
Bitter Creek (written by and lead vocals by Bernie Leadon): another song with multiple levels. There is a Bitter Creek in Wyoming; and, as previously mentioned, "Bitter Creek" was the nickname of Dalton gang member George Newcomb. One of Leadon's best tunes.
Doolin-Dalton (Reprise)/Desperado (Reprise) (written by Glenn Frey/Don Henley/Jackson Browne/J.D. Souther; lead vocals by Don Henley): this song reprises and closes the story in a most unique way: while Frey and Henley sang on the opening version of "Doolan-Dalton," here Frey's voice is noticeably absent, highlighting the line "four men ride out and only three ride back." The second half of the song is a reprise of the song "Desperado," where Frey rejoins his bandmates singing a descant over Henley.

St Ignatius College in Chishawasha has set the minimum entry bar for Advanced Level a notch up after recording an impressive high pass rate at Ordinary Level in the 2015 sitting, NewsDay has established.
Results seen by NewsDay show that about 30 of the 76 students who set for "O" Level examinations at the college scored 12 A's and above while the average "poor" performers had 9 A's each.
The high pass rate has forced the school to demand that students to be accepted for "A" Level for any combination this year, should have at least 12 As at "O" Level in a bid to screen from a potential 400 students who had shown interest in joining the Catholic Jesuits-run school.
But the bar has not gone down well with some parents who wanted their children to enrol at the school which is perched on top of a hill in Chishawasha.
Parents who spoke to NewsDay said the demand for 12 A's was too high given that some of their children went to schools offering less than 12 "O" Level subjects and still managed to score A's in all the available subjects.
St Ignatious rector Lawrence Daka, said while his heart bled for those who failed to get placement at the college, the situation was beyond their control.
"We only have places for 43 boys and 23 girls at 'A' Level yet at 'O' Level the college enrols 76 boys. This means we even have to let go some of our own boys who have been with the institution since grade one," Daka said.
"The college had to devise a selection criteria like any other institution so that from the over 400 pupils who showed interest we are left with 43 boys," he said.
In an effort to achieve transparent enrolment the college has set up a 11-member selection committee which looks at yearly performance of pupils and sets the minimum entry requirements.
According to records seen by NewsDay, Maths, Physics and Chemistry combination class is made up of students who have been at the college for their "O" Levels with the lowest performer having achieved 13 A's.
Daka said for the college to accept a student who was at another school into St Ignatius then they should meet the standard which was set by their "O" Level students.
"We are a Christian school and we value fairness. This is a good, but small school and unfortunately we can't take everyone so we have to use methods that are fair to enrol," he said.
In a Primary and Secondary Education ministry circular marked 03\2016 and signed by permanent secretary Sylvia Utete Masango, enrolment guidelines provide that pupils with grade C or better should be provided placement at schools. The same circular, however, says pupils should be allowed to pursue combinations in subjects they have higher grades.
"Pupils should pursue subjects in which they have higher grades to ensure better performance," the circular read.

SIMCOE, Ont.–Former NHL enforcer Ryan VandenBussche was cleared of assault charges Friday stemming from a brawl outside a bar in which he admittedly punched a police officer in the face, threatened to kill another, and was Tasered three times and pepper-sprayed before being subdued.
VandenBussche, 35, had been charged with three counts of assaulting police and one count of uttering a death threat after the fight that occurred at last call on July 3, 2006, in the southern Ontario resort town of Turkey Point.
VandenBussche's lawyer successfully argued that his client's history of concussions and a hard shove against a wall during the altercation legally rendered him a "non-insane automaton" that cleared him of criminal responsibility for his actions – including a punch that broke a police officer's nose and orbital bone.
There were only minor discrepancies in Crown and defence accounts of the brawl, which police described as "chaotic" as bar patrons emptied into the street and "started fighting all over the place."
VandenBussche said he went outside to defend his cousin, but police tried to subdue him and he was pushed into a wall.
As he saw his cousin being handcuffed, he burst through a crowd of people and started swinging at police officers. He was Tasered twice but continued to resist police. As he lay on his back, he threatened to kill an officer and was Tasered a third time as well as pepper-sprayed. He was then finally taken into custody.
The Crown had argued that VandenBussche's actions were not a case of non-insane automatism – in which a person is not in voluntarily control of their conduct – but simply a throwback to his days as an NHL enforcer who would fight on behalf of his teammates.
VandenBussche told court he had no recollection of the incident from the time he hit the wall to when he was arrested. He said the experience of his memory blacking out, or "getting his bell rung,"dates back to his teenage days of playing hockey and continued throughout his professional career.
VandenBussche played 310 games in the NHL and suited up for the New York Rangers, Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins.
He notched only 10 goals and 10 assists while racking up 702 penalty minutes.
VandenBussche's career footnote is a fight during a preseason game in September 1997 in which he knocked out Toronto Maple Leafs player Nick Kypreos, who is now a sportscaster. Kypreos suffered a severe concussion and never played in the NHL again.

New photos of Khandalyce Pearce, whose remains were dumped in a suitcase on the side of a South Australian highway, have been found on the Facebook page of Hazel Passmore, an ex-girlfriend of the man accused of murdering the toddler's mother.
Police believe two-year-old Khandalyce and her mother, Karlie Pearce-Stevenson, were murdered.
Ms Pearce-Stevenson's remains were found in the Belanglo Forest in NSW five years ago, while her daughter's bones were found in South Australia's Murray Mallee in July.
Daniel Holdom, 41, from New South Wales has faced court charged with Ms Pearce-Stevenson's murder.
It is understood police will allege Ms Passmore was the same woman who impersonated Ms Pearce-Stevenson in 2010.
Key points:
- Photos of Khandalyce Pearce found on the Facebook page of the ex-girlfriend of the man accused of murdering the toddler's mother
- Daniel Holdom, 41, from New South Wales has faced court charged with Ms Pearce-Stevenson's murder
- His ex-girlfriend Hazel Passmore uses a wheelchair following a car accident in 2008
It is also understood she will be investigated over allegations of financial fraud and will be questioned about what happened to the victims.
Police have spent several hours questioning Ms Passmore at the Wakefield Street police station in Adelaide's CBD.
She arrived there accompanied by family members earlier this afternoon but has since left.
Police sources have told the ABC's 7.30 program Holdom was involved in a car accident in September 2008 that left Ms Passmore in a wheelchair.
Her two young children were killed in the accident.
On Tuesday, police alleged a woman in a wheelchair posed as Ms Pearce-Stevenson during a bank visit in Adelaide in 2010 and at Centrelink later that same year.
Neighbours have told the ABC a number of police in unmarked cars were seen at her house last week.
A number of images of Khandalyce were uploaded to Ms Passmore's Facebook account in 2008.
On Tuesday, police alleged Karlie's bank account was accessed hundreds of times over the years to withdraw almost $100,000 and her phone was used to contact family to make it look like she was still alive.
New South Wales Police told the media Ms Pearce-Stevenson was killed in 2008, between December 14 and 15.
Police believe Khandalyce was killed in a different location to her mother and at a later date.
No charges in relation to Khandalyce's alleged murder have been made.

This pattern is currently unavailable. I'm doing a bit of house cleaning, and as part of that process, some of my older patterns are currently unavailable.
You can read a bit more about the project here if you'd like. And you can always check out my ravelry store for a list of available patterns.
Entrapment noun
- the act of tricking someone into committing a crime
You know that feeling you get when you're doing something that's secretly really easy but looks super impressive? That feeling that sits dangerously close to smug self satisfaction? That feeling is what this hat is all about!
All you're really doing here is working stockinette in the round. Yes, true, every now and then you'll slip a stitch or twist a stitch (and of course, up at the top you do work some decreases). But at its heart, this is a tube of plain stockinette (and you're always only working with one color per row).
But those little moments where you slip a stitch or twist a stitch…oh wow do those add up to something lovely. And I could be biased, but I think they're awfully fun to do, too! The result looks like you spent ages and did something hideously tricky. It's up to you whether you let people know it was really a piece of cake!
The hat is written in five sizes (castons of 96, 100, 104, 108, and 112 stitches), and you should feel free to adjust your gauge a bit to fine tune the fit of the hat. Just be sure that you're working at a gauge that gives you a fabric you like with your chosen yarn (you want something dense enough that you don't see the contrasting yarn behind your fabric).
I recommend working at something around 5, 5.5, or 6 stitches per inch, and I've included a table to help you figure out what gauge you'll want to use for your size. With that range of sizes and gauges, the hat will fit a head between 18.5 and 25.75 inches (with lots of points in between).
You'll be using two different yarns. I used about 160 yards of worsted for the main color (gray, worsted weight) and about 40 of the contrast color (purple, dk weight), but having 200 yards of the main color and 50 of the contrast color on hand would be an even safer bet. Basically, you want enough of the main color to knit a hat, and a few dozen yards of a contrast color for all the fancy bits. It's a perfect thing to do with leftovers from other projects!
This is perfect for you if:
- You want to look like you're doing something super clever (even if it really is easy)
- You have some extra bits of fancy yarn you're looking to show off
- You can't help wondering how that would look as a cowl (there might just be secret cowl instructions hidden away in there)
It's not for you if:
- You don't like charts (the pattern uses charts)
- You hate swatching (you need to swatch to check your needle size)
Oh, and that pink hat in the very last picture? That's Misprision. I'm doing a little set of hats that all play with the idea colorwork without the extra work. Entrapment was the first in the series, and Misprision is the second. If you like one, I suspect you'll enjoy the other as well!

Season Five of America's Best Dance Crew Premieres Thursday, January 28, at 10p.m. ET/PT
ABDC Thursday Night Companion Series Taking the Stage Season Two Premiere Episode Sneak Peek Airs Saturday, January 23, at 9p.m. ET/PT
NEW YORK (January 21, 2010) � Hot crews and high school phenoms will make room for one of the music industry's reigning triple threats when R&B superstar Omarion takes his seat at the judges' table for Season Five of Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew. Premiering Thursday, January 28th at 10p.m. ET/PT and airing back to back with Season Two of Taking The Stage at 11p.m. ET/PT (premiere episode sneak peek airs Saturday, January 23rd at 9p.m. ET/PT), the hit dance competition series from Warner Horizon Television will feature the accomplished Grammy-nominated singer, actor and dancer as he guides another roster of the nation's most talented dance crews towards their goal of a $100,000 cash prize and the title of America's Best Dance Crew.
Omarion is one of the most accomplished, multi-talented young stars of his generation. His music and music videos have influenced hip-hop dance going back to his B2k days and in more recent years as a platinum-selling solo artist, said Liz Gateley, Senior Vice President of Series Development for MTV. He is an accomplished dancer, artist and actor who knows what makes a good dance crew performance. We are very excited for him to join Lil Mama and JC Chasez as our third judge.
Omarion is a great friend and I am looking forward to him joining the ABDC family, said Randy Jackson, executive producer of America's Best Dance Crew. Season Five is going to be blazing hot.
I'm so excited to be a judge on MTV's �America's Best Dance Crew', says Omarion. Dancing and performing is what I do and being a judge on this show will allow me to give creative feedback to the newest and hottest dancers on the rise.
Airing Thursdays at 10p.m., Season Five of America's Best Dance Crew, MTV's top-ranking cable program among P12-34 from Warner Horizon Television and executive produced by Randy Jackson, will feature more of the jaw-dropping dance moves and stunts viewers have come to love. Featuring five crews each from the West, South and East, all 15 will compete in regional battles to the finish. The first three episodes will narrow these 15 crews down to the final nine that will compete this season.
A professional dancer trained in tap, jazz, hip-hop and African dance, Omarion joins J.C. Chasez (*NSYNC) and Lil Mama ("Voice of the Young People") as judges on the "Dance Crew" stage. The series is hosted by Mario Lopez ("Extra"); Layla Kayleigh ("World Poker Tour") serves as backstage correspondent.
In its fourth season, America's Best Dance Crew successfully moved into its Sunday 9p.m. time period, where it delivered a 1.7 P12-34 rating and ranked #1 in its time period versus all ad-supported cable competition. In Season Four, the series also reached an audience of over 68 million viewers with over 30 million from the P12-34 core. During Season One, Taking The Stage (March 19 � May 7) consistently ranked #1 in its time period (Thursdays, 10p.m. � 11p.m.) among W18-24 versus all cable competition and reached over 39 million total viewers (P2+).

Omarion recently inked his own label deal, StarrWorld Entertainment, under the umbrella of EMI Label Services. The album, "Ollusion" was released on January 12th and is his third solo album as well as being his first release under the record label. The triple threat entertainer's first single I Get It In, featuring Gucci Mane, reached #15 on Billboard's Mainstream R&B Chart. The second single, Speedin, was #1 most added song at Urban radio at the top of January and is the fastest growing single in his career (including his time in B2K). He wrote e and co-produced all of the songs on the album.
Omarion has released two chart topping solo albums since leaving the multi-platinum selling group B2K. His first solo album, "O," debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. His sophomore album, "21," dominated radio airplay and also debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The second single from "21," "Ice Box," produced by Timbaland, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was a platinum-selling ringtone. Also an actor and producer, he has appeared in several films � most notably "You Got Served �" which was a #1 box office smash that earned $40 million worldwide. He also added author to his resume in 2004, releasing a solo autobiography titled, "O" on behalf of MTV.

- texting
- simple games
- WiFi
- good application support
The Backflip specs didn't fill me with excitement initially but it does have something I really like - a full QWERTY keyboard. Although the onscreen keyboard of the device is pretty good and the screen is big enough I can drive it easily, I like the tactile feedback of real keys. My iPhone drives me crazy periodically with typing difficulties and so the Backflip came into it's own with this.
Prior to purchasing the Backflip I noted that there were quite a few reviews out there that paid out on the phone for it's lack of application support - that it wasn't able to deploy 3rd party apps and you were restricted to Motorola applications that work with it's specialised user interface called MotoBlur. I found this to be inaccurate and that you are able to install 3rd party apps, without any fancy hacking or anything else. The number of apps available is immense and certainly as large as the Apple iTunes store. Motoblur is a specialised interface designed by Motorola and it is this which is currently holding the Backflip at Android 1.5. Apparently in the next quarter it's designed to be upgraded to Android 2.1.
The phone is very usable - as both a phone (!) and as a mobile email/texting device. I don't use Facebook or Twitter or MySpace so I don't have all the feeds coming in - but that's what this device is geared for. It's supposed to be able to keep you up to date with all the trivia of your friends' lives and so forth. For me, that just makes life more complex and kills your battery! After a full days use of email/text and voice calls, I still have 70% battery life at the end of the day. Given that the Backflip as a USB port it's easy to charge it from laptop or desktop PCs. I like the flip of the keyboard too - it's a nice little keyboard to use and provides reasonable tactile feedback. The screen flip works well too and the screen itself is bright and easy to read.
Although the phone is sometimes a bit slow to do things this is generally because I'll leave a lot of apps open. The memory management is pretty good though and sorts itself out relatively quickly. I use a task management app to clean the RAM up periodically and get it working happily again.
As a phone, the speaker is clear and it generally has good reception. It's a light phone and it's comfortable on the ear when I'm in a call. Even one call lasting 45 minutes didn't leave me with a numb ear as sometimes happens with my iPhone.
All in all I find the Backflip to be a good phone and I'm happy to have it. I'm very much looking forward to the upgrade to Android 2.1 which should be soon.

Some members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have petitioned the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party to punish Mr Martin Amidu, a former Attorney General and Minister of Justice for his recent statements on events in the party.
The petitioners, in a statement said Mr Amidu has brought and continues to bring the NDC into disrepute and public ridicule contrary to Article 46(8) of the party's constitution.
Below is a copy of the petition:
7th August, 2017.
Dear Sir,
We the undersigned wish to bring this formal petition to the Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress (the "Party") for disciplinary actions to be taken against Mr Martin A.B.K. Amidu (the "Accused"). The particulars of our petition are as follows:
1. We are all registered members of the Party and in good standing. As demanded by Article 45 of the constitution of the Party, we have a duty to protect and defend the Party and its interests at all times. We, therefore, bring this petition pursuant to Article 47 of the constitution of the Party.
2. The Accused is at all material times a member, founding member and member of the Legal and Constitutional Committee of the party and has invariable been described by the public, particularly by the media as a "leading member", "Senior Member", "Founding Member," among others.
3. That notwithstanding his positon in the Party, the Accused has, with exceptional determination and consistency and through many publications and other actions, conducted himself in a manner that has:
a. brought and continues to bring the Party into disrepute and public ridicule contrary to Article 46(8) of the Party's constitution; and
b. weakened Party unity and cohesion contrary to article 45 of the party's constitution.
4. Below are some of the particulars of our claims under Paragraph 3 of this petition:
a. That the Accused, without any evidence whatsoever, alleged in a media article published on 2nd November, 2016, that the Party or its leadership did connive with the National Electoral Commission to commit several electoral offences, to wit, to rig the 2016 elections in favour of the Party. We have attached a copy of the article to this petition, which copy may also be found at < https://buzzghana.com/martin-amidu-accuses-ec-planning-rigging/> (Last visited on 8th August, 2017).
b. That the Accused, in a media article published on or about 15th November, 2016, did call on voters to vote against the party or its presidential candidate in the 2016 general election. We have attached a copy of the article to this petition, which article may be found at < http://www.pulse.com.gh/politics/election-2016-vote-against-mahama-martin-amidu-id5761526.html> (Last visited on 8th August, 2016).
c. That even after the Party has lost the presidential election and many of its seats in Parliament, the Accused, in a media article published on or about 29th July, 2017, with flagship vehemence, did launched insults and largely unsubstantiated accusation at the Party's Members of Parliament. We have attached a copy of the said article here, which copy may also be found at < http://www.pulse.com.gh/politics/ghana-parliament-martin-amidu-blasts-uncultured-ndc-mps-id7066656.html> (last visited on 8th August, 2017).
d. That in a media article published on or about 7th August, 2017, the Accused again alleged that the only reason why the Party's government, former President or the leadership of the Party appointed Mrs Charlotte Osei as the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission was to enable the said Mrs Charlotte Osei help rig the 2016 election to the favour of the Party and its presidential and parliamentary candidates. We have attached a copy of the said article to this petition, a copy which article may be found at < http://www.todaygh.com/ndc-appointed-charlotte-osei-rig-election-martin-amidu/> (Last visited on 8th August, 2017).
5. Indeed, we are unwavering in our belief that the above-listed conducts by the Accused are carefully designed by to expose the Party to public hatred, ridicule and opprobrium and to lower its reputation in Ghana and elsewhere. Accordingly, we wish the Executive Committee of the Party to take steps to bring disciplinary actions against the Accused.
6. We are willing and ready to assist the Executive Committee in investigating the matters listed above further with the aim of upholding the constitution of the Party.
We remain:

Bruce Campbell Ogilvie was born in Edinburgh and educated at George Heriot's School. After considering a variety of possible careers including forestry and meteorology, towards the end of his school years, he had the opportunity to spend time at his uncle's clinics and subsequently decided to study medicine. He started at the University of Edinburgh in 1959, where he also played rugby for the medical school. After graduating, apart from a year in obstetrics and neonatology, Bruce undertook his initial postgraduate training in general medicine in Galashiels, Edinburgh, and Kirkcaldy. He gained his membership of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh with cardiology as his special subject, and as medical registrar in Kirkcaldy he helped establish one of the first coronary care units in a district general hospital in the UK.
The idea of the diagnostic detective poring over clues in a darkened room à la Sherlock Holmes appealed to him, however, and he came to see cardiac radiology as a specialty ripe for development and more suited to his talents than cardiology. During his subsequent radiology training in Edinburgh he developed expertise in cardiac catheterisation and coronary angiography as a collaborator in the European Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Trial. In 1976 he was headhunted by the radiologists and cardiac surgeons in Southampton, and he moved there with his first wife, Marie (a virologist), to take up a consultant post at the Wessex Cardiothoracic Unit, then based at the Western Hospital and later relocated to Southampton General Hospital in 1983. Living by the Solent, he developed a keen interest in sailing, an activity that led to a radiological cautionary tale years later when he bruised his chest while descending into the cabin of a yacht in choppy conditions. Unable to resist the temptation of a chest x ray to look for rib fractures, he was taken aback to find an unexpected mediastinal mass—a discovery that led to surgery for ectopic thyroid and hormone replacement thereafter.
Bruce was lead cardiothoracic radiologist in Southampton for 20 years and clinical services director for radiology for three years. His commitment and his combination of diagnostic and practical skills were instrumental in developing better services for patients with chest and heart disease in the region. He worked closely with colleagues in respiratory medicine, thoracic surgery and radiology in pursuing a multidisciplinary approach to managing malignancies, advocating for and developing thoracic computed tomography, and developing a thoracic needle biopsy service and new procedures, such as aerodigestive stenting. On the cardiac side, alongside developing coronary angioplasty—also a cutting edge technique at the time—with the cardiologists, he worked with the paediatric cardiologists, surgeons, and pathologists in advancing the understanding and treatment of paediatric heart disease, and with radiology colleagues in developing one of the first 24-hour emergency cardiac magnetic resonance imaging services in the UK. By the end of his career, therefore, cardiothoracic radiology had become a service with great diagnostic and interventional significance in the acute setting and a correspondingly demanding emergency workload. Bruce also set up the Southampton Radiology Teaching Library and lectured and taught locally, nationally, and internationally, including as visiting professor at the University of North Carolina. He was a founding committee member of the British and European societies of cardiothoracic radiology, and later chair of the British society, as well as secretary of the Society of Chest Radiologists and regional secretary and chair, and later national council member, of the British Institute of Radiology.
On his retirement in 2006 Bruce moved with his second wife, Rosemary (a nurse), to the Scottish Borders, where he enjoyed renewing old friendships, treading the boards with the Melrose Amateur Operatic Society, and hillwalking. He completed the Great Outdoors Challenge twice; this entailed crossing Scotland from coast to coast. He was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2010, and after his initial treatment and a discouraging prognosis, he was grateful for five years of good health to pursue his many interests before the eventual progression of the disease in the last 18 months of his life. He will be remembered by his colleagues and trainees as a knowledgeable and patient leader, teacher and mentor and a much missed friend. He leaves his wife, Rosemary; two sons (one a public health physician); two stepsons; and six grandchildren.
Consultant cardiothoracic radiologist Southampton (b 1941; q Edinburgh 1965; FRCP Ed, FRCR), died from metastatic colorectal cancer on 14 July 2017.

We started a project about 4 years ago that we're just starting to wrap up on. We are delivering final sound to a post facility and running into an issue regarding the old AIR Multi-Tap audio plugin. It used to be included with Media Composer and after upgrading from MC 7.x to 8.x we found that it is no longer included. When we discovered this issue last year I posted here asking if anyone knew where I could get the Multi-Tap plugin as it was heavily used in our project. We've kept them in our project and have made mix downs of those clips but now we really need this plugin so we can re-create a number of them as well as let the post house know what variables we used as they will also re-create some of them.
But, what I want to ask is:
Avid is selling the Avid complete Plug-in Bundle. It has a Multi-Tap plugin but is not actually called Multi-Tap. Does anyone know if Avid bundle includes the same AIR multi-tap plugin that was used in MC 7.x?
If anyone from Avid reads this: Can Avid provide me with a 1 month trial license (or even a one day) so I can see if the clips in our timeline "respond" to the AIR Multi-Delay? If it does work then I'll buy one for each of our edit suites (dozen or so).
Are you talking about the AIR Multi-Delay? To the best of my knowledge, if you used to have it in v7, where it was an AudioSuite plugin, you should be able to just download and install the AAX version of the plugin (which is needed for MC v8 and up).
I went ahead and installed Pro Tools on my Media Composer system because PT has the AIR Multi-Delay. Unfortunately this is different from Multi-Tap Delay. If I select the effected clip in the a sequence in Media Composer and press the effect editor button it shows me the name of the audio plugin used. It's Multi-Tap Delay but I don't have that effect. It looks like this effect no longer exists anywhere but I do have an old MC installer which I'll open up and see if I can find the plugin and see if it will work with MC 2018.
OK. The main Q is going to be if there is an AAX version of that AudioSuite plugin that was originally used. Some Google searches seem to indicate that this might be the Multi-tape from DigiRack D-fx, which, unfortunately, appears to be AudioSuite-only, meaning you can run it in MC v7, but not MC v8.

The US Bank, Renton cash vault project was a 12,500-square-foot tenant improvement in an industrial park to create a secure location to handle the processing and storage of cash for US Bank. Relocating the cash vault operation consolidated three of US Bank's operations at one location and placed them closer to their client—the Federal Reserve.
The US Bank's cash vault operations had to be completely relocated on a short schedule and with a fixed date. Additionally, the building permit was issued 34 days late on a 120-day contract. PCL's Special Projects division was able to not only meet the deadline, however, but received the certificate of occupancy early, thus allowing the owner to start moving in one day prior to contract substantial completion.

I love my smart phone. A Samsung Galaxy 5. It does everything – except FaceTime – but there's Skype, Facebook's talk feature, Google Hangouts and other alternatives if I need to spend some face time with someone across town or in another time zone.
My smart phone gets me out of my studio and I can stay connected with my business. You never know when an emergency voiceover will pop up. And if you are not in the media production business you might not realize just how often there actually is a voiceover emergency. Had one on Monday. The call came in at 2 for a 3 o'clock session with a client on the East Coast.
The flip side of having a smart phone is that it keeps me connected with my business. There are times when it is good to be disconnected. But I think we can all agree that one of the most anxiety producing experiences is when you are half-way to your destination and realize that you left the house/office without your phone. A blessing and a curse these digital devices.
One thing I use my phone for when I am out and about is to check prices and research items that I am interested in purchasing. But I usually head back to my desktop or laptop to actually complete an online order. Apparently I am behind the power curve here! A lot of people are buying using their phones and by next year (2017) – according to eMarketer – more than 50% of online sales will be done through a mobile device.
It is certainly becoming more and more common to have the waiter pull out a phone and a Square. As each day passes we become more and more accustomed to the idea of doing everything with our phones. The article says that many more of us are starting the process on mobile, but are going back to either another online option, or perhaps buying at a brick and mortar store. I know I've browsed for something while I'm at a store (like Best Buy or Fry's) and ended up buying at the store.
What I don't know from this article is what is driving these mobile purchases. Is it simply that so many of us have them and that they are becoming part of our wardrobe – or perhaps our DNA? Do we spend that much time away from our desktops and laptops? I suppose you could be on the bus on your way to work and suddenly have an impulse to buy something. I don't ride the bus, but I could be on the elliptical at the Y and find I need to send a thank you gift to a client. That could happen.
There are new companies where you can pretty much ONLY do your purchase online – like Uber. My experiences so far with trying to buy something on my smart phone is that the majority of the sites can be hard to navigate. This is something the article also points out – that for these numbers to continue to grow – websites will need to cater to the smaller screen and make it as easy as possible to complete a purchase.
I'm ready for it – I know I'll make some of my purchases in the next year on my smart phone while I am out of my office. Or maybe it will become so easy to do that it just won't make any difference what platform you use and we'll find ourselves whipping out the mobile even while staring at our giant monitor. Just another way to do business!

Review: Dance
Meeting-Melting, Ikuyo Kuroda, last Friday, 8pm, SOTA Studio Theatre
Wall Dancing, Padmini Chettur, last Saturday, 8pm, 72-13.
Two dance shows at the Singapore International Festival of Arts 2015 contrasted each other diametrically, sending audiences on intense journeys that were deeply moving as well as introspective.
On Friday, Ikuyo Kuroda presented a distressingly immediate and provocative work titled Meeting-Melting in the SOTA Studio Theatre.
The characters, danced by Mamiko Oe and Kumiko Yajima, were emotionally draining.
Manoeuvring within the expressionist style, they went through a visceral roller coaster ride of emotions that ranged from sheer agony to unbridled joy.
Extreme juxtapositions highlighted the vastness of the psychological territory they navigated. The gentle agility of ballet was often interrupted with treacherous body slams onto the floor; dreamy Muji store-like songs were interjected by Stravinsky's jarring Rite Of Spring, each loud, rhythmic boom corresponding to a mangled facial expression or a taut, tense limb pierced into the space.
At various points, one of them would repeat the words Okasan and Otosan (mother and father), alluding to a deeply personal place. Through the numerous images conjured up with props as disparate as toy honks, straw hats, a snare drum and even an urn to contain a deceased's ashes, the dancers displayed resilience and strength, tackling their difficult situations with bravery and a dose of humour.
In this work, two beautifully tragic yet powerful female figures braced themselves constantly for whatever life threw at them.
The next evening, in the 72-13 performance space in Mohamed Sultan Road, Padmini Chettur calmed me down with Wall Dancing, an austere three-hour performance that brought dance back to its barest basics.
Here, any sort of sensational technique was removed, leaving only essential movement. Wall Dancing was performed predominantly in silence, punctuated occasionally with simple beats, as if reminding the audience gently of the potential of dance despite the esoteric durational unfolding of the art form's most fundamental structures.
The audience could change positions any time, resulting in constantly changing perspectives when viewing the dance. This was perhaps the most important aspect of the work. Even the performers took turns stepping in and out of the dance, further blurring the spectator-performer divide.
The pace of the work provided space for the audience to open up their focus to the entire room. I did not feel compelled to fixate on the dancers' movements. I could take the time to consider the warmth of the lights, the meditative silence and the incidental spatial compositions created by the different bodies of the audience, some slumped languidly onto bean bags, others leaning against pillars.
Everything in the room became a part of the performance. Because of the work's stillness, the other existences in the room were highlighted. It was a selfless, non-egoistic work that, through meticulous planning, allowed itself to share and just be without trying to prove too much.

Medvedev was forced to delay his departure for the Swiss ski-resort after a suicide bomber killed at least 35 people and injured 100 more at Russia's busiest airport.
"Due to this tragedy my programme in Davos has been significantly reduced," Medvedev, who will deliver a keynote speech to the World Economic Forum later on Wednesday, said in an interview published in Russian daily Vedomosti.
"Our task is to promote the opportunities of our country," Medvedev said. "We really do want investment, we want a swift restoration of economic growth after the crisis."
Medvedev, who was propelled into the Kremlin's top job in 2008 by his mentor, Vladimir Putin, is leading a drive to present Russia as a lucrative $1.4 trillion economy that is recovering from crisis and open for foreign investment.
Moscow has lured big names such as British oil major BP and U.S. food and drink giant PepsiCo into major purchases worth a total of over $10 billion in Russia over the past two months.
Medvedev said he would explain "the strong aspects of the Russian economy and our legal system and ... also about our difficulties, about our weaknesses, about those problems not yet resolved."
Investors say vast profits are available in Russia though they caution that the risks are great: endemic corruption, mounds of red tape and the patchy rule of law.
Russia's economy rebounded in 2010, growing by around 4 percent after a 7.9 percent decline in 2009, Russia's worst contraction for 15 years.

As an alum, I couldn't be happier. I learned a lot… especially with regards to math/statistics, problem solving, and increasing social skills.

How to Use Social Media to Get More from Life After 60
Why did I develop a free mini-course on successfully using social media? It's actually pretty simple. I realized there was a need for a quick and basic "get up and running" type of course.
Over the past year, I've written several articles on using social media. My target audience has been people over 60 as well as those who haven't yet started reaping the tremendous benefits of being connected online.
Several of my articles have been published here on Sixty and Me. One article was on the benefits of using social media, and the other provided tips on how to use it successfully. I received great feedback from the Sixty and Me community. Women told me that my articles were excellent, full of valuable points and great tips.
Many told me that they'd shared the articles with friends and family who they were trying to get started online. I realized that while I had praised and supported using social media in my articles, I'd left something out. I needed to create a practical "how to" guide.
How to Get Started with Social Media
Many people didn't know how to get started. A lot of people saw social media as a big black hole. It was very scary for some and impossible to understand for others. People asked me what they could do to get their grand-mom started, or to convince their mother to go online.
Others wanted to help a neighbor feel connected. Many wanted to start using social media so they wouldn't feel so lonely. They all wanted a quick and easy guide, without too much information.
People told me that they had tried social media but had quickly gotten confused with all the information and instructions and decided that it wasn't for them. But now my article had re-sparked their interest and they wanted some help.
Why Not Write a Guide on How to Use Social Media?
After spending most of my career on the development side of technology, I'd built more courses, user guides and "quick and dirty tips" than I can count. Developing a course is easy for me, so I got right to it. I used PowerPoint because it produces great slide shows that people can work through at their own pace. I kept the course simple, short and focused on what people really needed.
I threw out the nice-to-know and all the fluff. I demonstrated in a very practical way what to do, how to do it and what things should look like. The course is written for social media novices. It is for those who are up and running but not yet comfortable with social media.
I'm offering this course free of charge because I feel that being connected is so vital and important for improving our lives. I want to help anyone I can to get up and running.
A Free Social Media Mini Course
So as a gift to my Sixty and Me sisters, please take a look at my mini-course on using social media. Experienced people can quickly click through the course, maybe picking up a good tip or two along the way. New or hesitant users are invited to read my free mini-course.
Are you a novice with social media, or do you feel that you have got it completely under control? What is your favorite social media site? Do you feel comfortable using Facebook and other sites? Please join the conversation.

Curls are beautiful in all their variations. While they are beautiful, they may require a good amount of care to stay healthy and looking their best. One of the biggest problems in curly hair, especially for those with thicker hair, is shrinkage. Shrinkage can make your strands look smaller, shorter, and flat. When it comes to preventing shrinkage in natural hair, here are a few tips to help you keep hair looking its best.

There are not enough employers training the Hispanic community in technology. Sabio is an organization that targets to help unemployed women and minorities become tech workers by putting them through boot camp. This organization is helpful because it helps Latinos network with tech professionals.
Co-founder Gregorio Rojas states " lack of diversity in tech was one of the main drivers for him to found Sabio." He expects to be able to train workers in 3 months. The technology field is very promising and he mentions the technology field is more lucrative and sustainable. For Latinos that are struggling to sustain their households being trained in this field is a big help.
"The under representation of so many groups in the field is an indicator that something is wrong with the how and why people chose to go into technology to the how and why people advance and stay in the industry, says Rojas.

Notes of black ink dominate throughout this scent, although West Indian rum (spiced with ginger) dilutes the saline stain with sweet heat. Papers lost and found are represented by notes papyrus-like delicacy, the spines of forgotten tomes crackling with the dulcet, dry musk of dark leathers. This familiar dry accord of leather bound books is balanced by the warm, enigmatic notes of vanillic pipe tobacco. Finely finished with dark birch tar and labdanum. Like the packed, small close of a veteran captain's quarters, Couer De Noir speaks to an endless, insatiable fascination with the sea. Dominating, passionate and full of tangy spice, Coeur De Noir is as fine a reward as any sea faring traveler could wish for--especially when marooned ashore. Dip into this dark heart for a taste of the addictive power of the sea.

Heats three of the Central Victorian Pacing and Trotting Championships continued at the Wedderburn HRC fixture held at Maryborough on Monday January 6, with Sapphire Swayze taking the C2 or better class pacers division over 2190 metres and Mallee Trapper the T0 or better class trotters over 2690 metres.
Four year old Union Guy/Bold Sapphire gelding Sapphire Swayze was ultra impressive in his victory, returning a mile rate of 2-01.6 for the standing stat event.
Trained by Adam Kelly at his new Riddell complex, Sapphire Swayze first up since June with stable reinsman Gavin Lang aboard, stepped cleanly from 10 metres to settle four back along the markers in a strung out field, with pole marker Whata Avenue pouncing straight to the front as the tapes released.
Easing away from the inside to park in the open racing for the bell, Sapphire Swayze in a twinkling of an eye exploded to the front in the back straight with the race safely in his keeping.
With Lang just sitting there in the straight, Sapphie Swayze coasted to the wire 4.8 metres in advance of Whata Avenue who struck to her task well, with Boyz Torque (three wide last lap) a further 10 metres away in third place after a tardy beginning.
Popular Portarlington trainer Gary Bailey a devoted follower of the squaregaiter, received a boost when home bred six year old Wind Cries Maori/Trappers Girl gelding snared the trotters division.
Driven by Ararat's Michael Bellman, Mallee Trapper was quick to begin from a 30 metre handicap, going forward to surprisingly arrest the lead away from the last start Melton winner Invasive at the judge on the first occasion.
Rated to perfection, Mallee Trapper defied all challengers to defeat the co 50 metre backmarker Loveyougoodboy (three wide last lap) by 1.1 metres, with Invasive a disappointing third after having every chance along the sprint lane a half head away in third place. The mile rate 2-05.8.
Gary has been recuperating from a more than painful knee operation.
Semi-Finals will be held at the St Arnaud HRC meeting at Charlton on Wednesday January 15, with the Finals at Maryborough five days later on Monday January 20.
One of the highlights of the day was the victory of exciting Blissful Hall/Weona Rena four year old entire Bliss Man in the Wedderburn Motel Pace for C3 & C4 class over 1690 metres.
Trained in the western part of the state at Hawkesdale (Hamilton District) by Graham Gee for wife Christine, Bliss Man again taking a concession for Terang's Jason Lee was quickly away from inside the second line to press forward and park outside the pacemaker Aleppo Tiger (gate two).
Pouring on the pressure in the last lap, Bliss Man cruised to the front on the final bend to score by 4.9 metres in a rate of 1-55.6 over Our Eastwood Cullen (four wide last lap) from near last, with Aleppo Tiger holding down third 3 metres away.
It was Bliss Man's 9th victory in 15 race appearances, the last six in succession.
