Heather Payne
I graduated from SOAS with a BA in Linguistics, and completed an MSc in Neuroscience, Language and Communication at UCL in 2010.
I am now on a 2+3 ESRC Ph.D studentship under the supervision of Dr. Mairead MacSweeney and Prof. Bencie Woll. During my Ph.D I will investigate lateralisation of language processing using functional Transcranial Doppler Sonography (fTCD – a non-invasive measure of blood flow velocity in the main arteries supplying the brain). I aim to validate the use of fTCD with children born profoundly deaf by developing suitable tasks to assess both signed and spoken language processing. I will also explore how these measures relate to literacy and phonological awareness in younger deaf children. I hope that the research will allow me to explore the biological and experiential factors involved in language development in two modalities.

"It's a very versatile springy-summer pump. It goes with about everything, and the picture is about as accurate as it can get. The material is relatively supple as well.The one thing I wasn't particularly keen about is that it squishes the toes to one side. At first, I thought it was because of the sizing - I got the 10 when I'm usually a 9.5 - but after a while, I realized it's simply the way the shoe hugs the foot. I suppose it's something I'll have to get used to.The slingback on the other hand, was much more comfortable than I had anticipated. It has a nice stretch to accommodate how you'd like to wear the shoe. But I may be biased in this, because I normally despise buckle-ankle straps.The shoe is overall, a versatile, cork-design pump, which is what I was looking for - cork that didn't look too cheap. However, the wedge design, though it's flattering on the legs, took some time for me to get used to, even though I wear 3-4 inch heels on a regular basis. It forces most of your weight forward, it feels like.For me, it gets the job done, at a price that's decent for the quality."

A Revolutionary New Cookbook Offers Innovative Techniques for Creating a Limitless Kosher Recipe Repertoire
Kosher Revolution: New Techniques and Great Recipes for Unlimited Kosher Cooking
by: Geila Hocherman and Arthur Boehm
Surimi 'Crab' Cakes with Red Pepper Mayonnaise
"Kosher is a set of rules, not a cuisine, and, as Geila Hocherman amply proves, you can be kosher and cook Chinese, French, Italian, Indian, New American—any cuisine in the world. With Geila's 'tool box' and system, and with so many exotic ingredients getting kosher certification, there's no excuse for kosher cooks not to turn out interesting, even sophisticated, and, of course, very delicious meals every day and every holiday."
—Arthur Schwartz, author of Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking
Geila Hocherman is a kosher cook with a mission—to make kosher cooking indistinguishable from any other kind. Don't get her wrong. She loves good, traditional kosher cooking, but is also determined to make kosher fare indistinguishable from any other kind.
"Because I fell off the kosher wagon for a time," says Hocherman, "I know what trafe tastes like, and some of it is very, very good. So I can help anyone create the best, most diversely flavorful kosher cooking."
Playing by the kosher kitchen rules—using kosher-certified ingredients only and observing prescribed dietary rules—she and co-author Arthur Boehm set out to show kosher home cooks how to make modern, blow-them-out-of the-water kosher dishes—exciting, contemporary food, from wine-braised short ribs to beef and chicken satays with peanut sauce and more—in their new cookbook, Kosher Revolution: New Techniques and Great Recipes for Unlimited Kosher Cooking (Kyle Books; October 2011; Hardcover: $29.95).
To gain this cooking flexibility, Hocherman, a former prep cook for the Food Network and acclaimed kosher caterer, with the help of renowned food writer Arthur Boehm, tells readers how to create a "kosher revolution" pantry, one that takes advantage of today's expanded, multi-ethnic, kosher ingredient availability. Once the shelves and refrigerator are stocked, Hocherman offers an expanded culinary tool box that will show readers how any non-kosher dish or recipe can be converted to a kosher one with nothing lost in translation.
Hocherman teaches kosher cooks to recognize appropriate, best-tasting substitutes to make kosher dishes of any kind without compromise. To do this she offers unique instruction in the book's opening chapter, Getting Started, in her Convert It tutorials, and by providing a singular chart that offers ingredient-exchange options at a glance. She also provides invaluable shopping sources, and 10 chapters of easy and exciting kosher recipes from around the world organized by course or food category—many of which can be modified to fit into a variety of menus for any occasion.
From breakfast and brunch specialties and meatless main courses to challahs, stocks, and mayonnaises, most of the recipes begin with Geila's Tips, and/or Convert It advice—Geila's brilliant substitution method showing how a single recipe can be altered to become meat, dairy, or pareve, the dish categories dictated by kosher practice.
For example, the pareve Lentil Soup with "Ham," which uses smoked turkey to give it just-like-ham flavor, can also be made dairy by swapping the chicken broth for vegetable broth, replacing olive oil with butter, and adding a Parmesan rind to provide flavor depth. Bourride with Aioli, a creamy, garlicky French fish stew, becomes a kosher version of Bouillabaisse. The recipe for Duck Prosciutto, an ingenious kosher "reinvention" of traditional prosciutto, has all the flavor and texture of the original. Surimi Crab Cakes with Red Pepper Mayonnaise; Asian Slaw with Chicken; Cold Sesame Noodles with Broccoli and Tofu (made possible since chili oil and rice vinegar are now part of the kosher pantry); and Ratatouille Hash are all modern kosher masterpieces. Geila also includes a few classics like her Bubbie's Brisket and updates others, as in her Hamentashen with Four Fillings—one being a decadent Nutella with Coconut.
While Kosher Revolution has only 95 recipes this classic-in-the-making gives kosher cooks the kitchen confidence and tools to re-imagine any recipe there is. Once they see non-kosher recipes the same way Hocherman does—as occasions for instant translations—they'll be able to cook kosher anything.
About the Authors:
Geila Hocherman attended La Varenne and has received certificates from Paris's Cordon Bleu and Manhattan's Peter Kump's Cooking School, now the Institute of Culinary Education. She was gourmet food buyer for Bloomingdales, worked as a private kosher caterer, and was a prep-cook at the Food Network. Visit her online at www.kosherrevolution.com.
Arthur Boehm has co-authored cookbooks including The Modern Seafood Cook, with Edward Brown, The Empire Chicken Kosher Cookbook, with Katja Goldman, and, with Ming Tsai, Blue Ginger, Simply Ming, and Simply Ming: One-Pot Meals. He contributed to the All-New Joy of Cooking and edited the American edition of Nigella Lawson's How to Eat. He was a contributing food editor at AARP The Magazine. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Gentlemen's Quarterly, among others.

|In response to Re: Pilot light problem
: I have been having problems with the pilot light on my gas boiler this winter. I have woken up in the morning numerous times to find that there is no heat and the pilot is out. We have had the thermocoupler and the gas valve replaced but the problem persists. What else could be the problem? The pilot on the water heater stays lit, and there doesn't appear to be a flicker in the pilot light flame which would indicate low pressure. Any ideas?

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Hope it works out. Would be a shame if he doesn't catch on somewhere. Looks like the giants know exactly when the right time is to let guys go. Both him and BJ had all of us up in arms when they were no longer Gaints. However neither has found a landing spot and I'm one of many that was surprised. Giants have had plenty of opportunity to resign both on the cheap but they don't even want to do that so that ahould tell you something
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Might be a really good place for him, and a good acquisition for the Colts.

Going out or staying in tonight?
Work at 8 AM with foster kids in a crisis center. I'm staying in! Plus, I'm a recovered drug addict. Meditation and prayer are big New years things for me.ReplyCancel
I stay in bed.ReplyCancel
@Barton – your plans are awesome. You're doing great work. Thank you.
I'll be going out, a little reluctantly, because I'm starting to get a cold. My friend has been looking forward to this since September, and I don't want to let her down.
To anyone in the Twin Cities, Metro Transit buses/light rail are free from 6 pm tonight until the last run. Please take advantage!ReplyCancel
I'm also working tomorrow so I will be partying at home.ReplyCancel
Staying in with my lovely husband and daughterReplyCancel
I'm staying in; I don't drink: recovered here! =) But, I have lost friends to drunk driving, haven't gone *out* for NY's in over 20 years. I loathe drunk driving! Please, be safe! Buzzed driving IS drunk driving. Just please be safe, people and don't endanger the lives of others. Have a great night!ReplyCancel
Normally go out but this year going to do a nice quiet night home with my new boyfriend.ReplyCancel
Bartending on a yacht.ReplyCancel
Staying in – it's the only way to fly! I've got everything and everyone I need right here. Plus, I'm making chocolate chip cookies :-). Love the puzzle idea, cause we're crazy like that, too. My son got an awesome 4D puzzle of Tokyo for Christmas – maybe I can talk him into breaking it out! Happy happy New Year, dear CDaNers – 2013 is gonna be the best year evah!ReplyCancel
Karen, I've always wanted to do a murder mystery dinner…so envious! Emjoy!!ReplyCancel
My husband nor I like crowds, therefore we Will be staying in and wake up in a panic when people start shooting off fireworks and guns at midnight. That is if I can fall asleep(terrible insomnia).ReplyCancel
I like being with my kids when the New Year starts, it makes me feel like everything is right with the world. Besides I hate being out when idiots are driving drunk.
Oldest invited his gf over tonight so we will play games and try to find the least irritating television coverage of the ball dropping. Any recommendations from my CDAN friends?ReplyCancel
Wifey and I are going to dinner at a nice restaurant in Hillcrest neighborhood of SD. Going home early, and watch the Ryan Seacrest NYC city thing on the telly.
Drive safe everyone. If you think you're remotely drunk, don't get behind the wheel. $30-50 in cab fares home is a better alternative than getting a DUI. Peace, and happy new year!ReplyCancel
Working until 11p, then oh so carefully making my way home to bed.
I hate amateur night.
Working 🙁ReplyCancel
Staying home cuddling with the hubby and puppies. Doubt i'll even see midnight 😀
HAve a great and safe one peepsReplyCancel
Staying in with my three units and first husband (housemate and business partner). No bevvies for me, maybe take an extra pain pill for fun (just kidding).ReplyCancel
I live in Hillcrest! 🙂ReplyCancel
Are you ever right about 2012 sucking. See ya 2012 (good riddance to bad rubbish….ReplyCancel
I used to work for the police comm., and will never, ever go out on New Year's Eve. One year, we lost four officers (different departments – sheriffs, local PD, etc.) due to drunk drivers. Please be safe, all.
Staying in here, with kids & our "other son" :). LOVE the puzzle idea! This might be the year they all make it to midnight, but we might not.ReplyCancel
Staying in, I work at 7am so maybe Hubby and me with a shared bottle of champagne, twist up a fatty, and pass out at 11pm, but that's about it. That's my idea of a good time.
Why would I want to go out in painful high heels, and get drinks spilled on me, have some stupid drunk bitches yelling at each other right next to me, and have anonymous stranger sweat rubbed up against me? No thank you. Those days are behind me.
I find New Years to always be a letdown. You make all these plans to go out and have the best night of your life and all that happens is you end up wasted with a bunch of other wasted ppl unable to get home because all the ppl in world decide to come to manhattan to watch the ball drop lol sorry for the run-on, have a cold and too tired to spell check. Hubby has to work tom. so we will be spending NYE at my inlaws and they are fun and funny 🙂ReplyCancel
You couldn't pay me to go out tonight with all the crazies about. Mr. B is still recovering so we'll be going to bed early and like bobbi_1025, will wake up in a panic when our idiot neighbors start setting off fireworks.
@ car54 – do you like the Roku? Does it get Netflix? I saw it on Amazon and since we want to get Netflix for our TV, we're curious.
Agree with all the above – 2012 sucked big time. But have a good feeling about 2013! Happy New Years to all my CDaN friends!ReplyCancel
Happy New Year's Eve everyone <3
If you go out, be safe and have a wonderful time!
If you are staying in, be comfy and have a wonderful time!
We are staying in, Hubby has to work in the morning, and I have 2 out of 3 kids quasi sick.
Jammies and snacks and bringing in the New Year with my family. Will kiss hubby at midnight (will have to wake him up *wink wink*)
Today is our 23'rd year anniversary! Kids be careful, a booty call turned out to be a pretty fantab marriage and kids =)
Happy New Years CDaNers!!!
I am going out, but just across the street. We are having a traveling cocktail party at three different neighborhood houses. No driving. Safety first! Although everyone seems to go overboard bc you know you don't have to drive afterwards.ReplyCancel
Happy Anni, JoElla!!
2012 wasn't the worst year of my life: doesn't even make Top 5, or 10 even, but it did fall short of hopes and expectations.
I wish for everyone good health, love & happiness, prosperity and peace of mind! =)
Much love from me to you all! <3ReplyCancel
@Car54, the Roku is wonderful, one of the best appliances since the dishwasher I think.
@SusanB, they come preloaded with different apps, Netflix is one of them. They take less than 5 minutes to set up, super easy. It's so much more enjoyable watching streaming on your TV, even an older CRT one like I have. Does the same thing as a Smart TV for a lot less money. You need a wireless router/modem.
Hubs and I usually buy a hotel package deal, but he's working so I bought me some champers and chips and queso!ReplyCancel
NYC !!! Going to Radio City Music Hall to see Nas then we have a car stashed in the city.. We are heading to Brooklyn to a strip club called Pumps that my crazy Australian friend is dragging us to and after that? Who knows! Be safe kids and happy new year!! I call 2013 my year of alchemy.. Im trying to do big things this year and make something out of nothing.. My bf and I are trying a again for a baby this year.. Wish us luck!ReplyCancel
Don't know! We were invited to a house party which I know will be good times, however, one of us will have to stay sober. You can't get a cab on a regular saturday night in this town, let alone new year's eve. Should have pre-booked a Keys Please driver but forgot, too late now. I am also seeing a lot of FB statuses about people being sick so I don't know. Might just end up in front of the TV, which kind of sucks because I was kind of feeling like tying on on tonight…*L* Anyway, Happy New Year everyone, have fun and stay safe!ReplyCancel
still sick and being newer to my area i don't really have a group to go out with so… home, NCIS marathon, couch, maybe some champagne. Happy New Years CDANER's and Enty!ReplyCancel
Sarah – that sounds like fun!
I woke up this morning to a broken water main. This is in addition to the demo'd living room wall that my carpenter left me with from before Christmas. It's freezing in here!
But I will look on the bright side. I'm getting a new living room and porch for 2013!!ReplyCancel
I usually always go out for NYE. Some years are fun when you're with the right people. Some are not so fun – like being packed in a club where drunk idiots constantly hit on your girlfriend. Since I'm currently single I don't have to deal with that this year. I'm not partying tonight because my fam had a rough few months with my father passing away back in September. We might go out for Italian then go see Django Unchained.
Happy New Year's CDANers.ReplyCancel
Im staying in and will probably be the lamest person in history of new years evesReplyCancel
I'm always awake at 5-6 am so I'm in bed early and fast asleep by Midnight and sleep right thru New Year's celebrations. Partying was never my scene,anyway.ReplyCancel
Staying in and drinking mimosas and lots of medical marijuana. The party has already started!ReplyCancel
Susan B we got apple tv a few months ago and it will load Netflix and iTunes right to your tv. You need to have an iPhone or iPad though but I really like it, very easy to use I think it was $99
Our idiot neighbors have been setting off fireworks for three nights now even though we are in a burn ban
@Chilie, you might look into a DNS services, something like Showmonkey.com for example. It's pretty inexpensive and easy to change your primary and secondary DNS addresses to that of one in the U.S.
The best part is that if you already have a Netflix account set up it will automatically convert your account to a U.S. one. You may have to deactivate your Roku and reactivate again though, totally worth it.
Hubby & I are going to a local restaurant for a low key dinner, then we'll probably head home & watch TV. I've never been big on NYE. I'd rather spend my money on clothes, frankly.
Hope everyone has a very Happy 2013! Be safe out there.ReplyCancel
Going out. It's the one night a year my husband and I go to a bar. 🙂
Though I'm not feeling particularly celebrationy (good word, no?)
We may have an early night.
Sorry about your dad @Jason. I hope you have a great night with your family!
Best wishes for the new year 🙂ReplyCancel
@Chilie, the one I use just pops up a page on my computer that I have to click on to update the IP address, it's somewhat automatic and I don't have to do anything with the Roku box itself.
I manually assigned the new DNS addresses to my router then all other devices on the network will carry the same address. So if I want to watch a TV show on my laptop or Roku on TV I can access U.S. content. You can assign each device individually though.
Where did you hook up your network cable to the Roku? My model does not have that option.
I will check out that documentary, I would probably enjoy it, loved The September Issue.
Staying in! Still pregnant at 40w1d and definately not going anywhere. Gonna snuggle with my 8 year old and enjoy these last couple of days/hours she is an only child.ReplyCancel
Hubby is working patrol tonight and hopefully comes home safe to us in the morning. I'm knocked up and a 2yr old at home, so we are going to a friend's house, whose husband is working with my Hubby. She's got an 18 month old. So I'm breaking out the sparkling grape juice and we will be watching parties from around the world. I also have morning/afternoon/evening sickness, so I wouldn't go out anyways. And I don't like big crowds. And it's raining here in Austin, so all the drunk idiots will find this time to go ping ponging off the guard rails. AAA will take you home for free my friends, so please don't drink and drive. The life you may save could be your own or my Husband's.ReplyCancel
My family and I are staying in. I'm cooking cake, enchiladas and we have 3 different flavors of Welch's Sparkling drinks haha. Yay for Preggo NYE!
Happy NYE to everyone!ReplyCancel
A CDaN dare! Go out tonight, think about how awesome you are, dance a little dance, smile, tell one funny joke and sweetly kiss a stranger at midnight. Everyone feels awkward when they don't have someone to kiss, and you can really make somebody's night!
@Comma chaser and @annnananannan (forgive me for butchering! I'm having cut and paste issues)
I have been in Hillcrest twice in the last week. San Diego Zoo, baby! I live in North County SD, but we love Balboa Park.
We are staying in, but celebrating the New Year/husband's birthday at La Costa Spa while my parents are in town to watch the bambinos.
Have a safe, fun, crazy (but not get-arrested crazy) NYE everybody 🙂ReplyCancel
Staying in. I've got my margarita mix at the ready and have spent all day cleaning the house so there will be absolutely no dirt around on New Year's Day. Yes, I am being uncharacteristically superstitious, but it has been five months since I was laid off and I need a job! I will stand on my head at midnight if it will help. Goodness knows I have tried all of the traditional means.ReplyCancel
Early dinner at a nice restaurant with some of our friends, then hopefully HOME!
Happy New Years, CDAN friends! Here's hoping for all the best in 2013! 🙂ReplyCancel
Susan B and TheBlackCat, I loved the Roku I got so much, I bought a second one for my other TV.
I did Netflix, and I have HBOGO, and I am an Amazon Prime member so tons of things to watch. I agree it was super simple to set up–I am good with computer things but not that great at AV things –and I had it going in about 15 minutes.
I spent the entire weekend watching 4 seasons (so far) of Six Feet Under. Usually this time of year is dull because so many tv shows are on hiatus but I feel like I can watch so much now that I never had time to see. I have never liked watching on my laptop because the sound is not too good but watching on TV is wonderful!ReplyCancel
Damn Barton now I feel guilty about my NYE plans! You are awesome, keep up the good work!
I plan on partying hard tonight with my friendfamily. We put together a fancy party at my house to make sure that all of us were together and that we didn't have to worry about driving anywhere. DUI and intoxicated manslaughter are definitely not how I would like to ring in the new year.
I hope everyone has a great night and it turns out exactly that way you want! Be safe, be happy, and be kind tonight!ReplyCancel
I'm staying in tonight- I've got a nasty cold and I have to work at 6 am tomorrow so I will be snoozing way before midnight. I recently quit drinking so I would feel too tempted to drink if I were to go out. I will instead cut myself a huge slice of birthday cake (HBD mom!) and have a GoT marathon on my new TV I got for Christmas.
@hag- Have fun and be safe down at The Strip! Its a blast but people get reckless down there!

Working 🙁 For those of you going out, I hope it's a safe and awesome night! For those staying in, enjoy the comforts of home and a relaxed night! Wishing everyone a happy, and prosperous, New Year!!ReplyCancel
We are staying in with our 3 kids + our son's girlfriend. I am making a lot of food and feel so guilty for not inviting my brother, but I just want to vegetate with the tv and computer. I just had everyone over for Christmas eve and he's such an alcoholic . . . I have qualms about contributing to his problem.ReplyCancel
Staying in! Too many idiots trying to prove themselves on amateur nite!ReplyCancel
Meetup is awesome! I've met some great friends from it!ReplyCancel
Staying in. I've partied a lot and don't really feel like I'm missing out. It is cold and raining here-yuck. In my youth I never worried about other drunk drivers but now I do. Me and the hubby are going to have some yummy appetizers and cook our own surf'n turf. King crab legs and filet's with blue cheese butter. With a very nice bottle of Gary Ferrel Pinot Noir and a champagne toast at midnight.ReplyCancel
Mmmmmm, crab legs, I used to make something really special for NYE because going out can be such a waste of money for substandard food. This year is different, there is so much food in this house that it is my Holy Grail to cook it to see how long it takes before groceries are needed to be purchased again.ReplyCancel
Staying in. I'm working 3 weeks straight because the other doc is on vacation. Tomorrow is my only day off. If I go out and drink I will fall asleep before the ball drops.
Happy New Year's to the CDAN family! I rarely post but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy all of you.ReplyCancel
My friend's bday is today and he's having a party. He always has fun parties and no NYE pressure because it's all wrapped up in his bday party!!
I also love knowing that there are so many fellow stonies out there! Holla! I'll be smoking a fat one tonight with my buddies and my husband.
Happy 2013, my stranger friends!!
LOL!!! I tell my son that y'all are my stranger danger friends:)
Staying in tonight – little tv, a little vino, a little puff puff and I should be ripe right around the New Year!!!
Happy Happy Everyone! Stay safe:)
Talk to you all next yaar:)ReplyCancel
I'll be staying in tonight, just me & Jezebel (my 16-year-old tortoiseshell cat, for those of you just tuning in); I could go to a party in Dorchester at the other end of the Red Line, but I don't feel like dealing w/idiots on the trains, plus I had a nasty insomnia attack last night, so I'm beat. The party will still be ongoing tomorrow, so I'll stop by then w/a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough truffles made by yours truly, along w/something else Not Sweet (quiche? or Hoppin' John? I do the black-eyed pea thing every year). If I'm ambitious, I'll watch a movie (but not the one I really wanted to watch, because it's not here yet, damn it…), if not, I'll just go to bed and hope the upstairs neighbors don't start whooping it up. (My sister called me on Christmas Day, and we agreed that you know you're getting old when the idea of just kicking back by yourself, w/your critter(s), and enjoying the peace is quiet sounds much more appealing than going out. 🙂 I may also make a list of things I want to get rid of in my life and burn it–a friend does this every year, and it sounds like a good symbolic cleansing to me.
Congratulations to all the expectant parents–I didn't know we had so many!
Happy 2013, everyone–may this coming year be much better for everyone than 2012 was, and may we all be able to meet up again this time next year!ReplyCancel
I was going to spend ring the new year in with friends but they're daughter got in an accident so I'm now staying home. But I have the recipe for Rick Bayless' shrimp and avocado dip, so at least there's that!
Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to the reveals with baited breath!ReplyCancel
And I live inMission Hills. Bought groceries at the Hillcrest Von's just this afternoon.ReplyCancel
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!….at home watching the ball drop as per usual. Was actually in Times Square in 1997 on NYE…..AWESOME!ReplyCancel
@Chilie, I use Showmonkey.com but there is unotelly.com too which is pretty reliable, Showmonkey has a lot of FAQ's and is easier to set up I found, both offer a free trial for a week so you could try both and go with whichever you prefer. It's all done online and it's quick to set up an account online.ReplyCancel
@Lisa – I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the puzzle idea! I ran out to the story yesterday afternoon and bought a puzzle. The five of us (including a visiting kid friend) stayed up until 12.30 putting it together. We were so absorbed & having fun, we didn't know it was New Year until the fireworks started outside. 🙂 The kids declared it the best NYE ever!ReplyCancel
NYE is my favorite holiday! I went to a masquerade ball hosted by a local animal rescue group. Lots of fun but I'm regretting mixing booze and not eating enough. :-/
Happy 2013 CDAN-ers!ReplyCancel
I meant to add…Meetup IS awesome! One of the girls I went out with last night I met at a Meetup Dinner. I've met a lot of fab people through it, so I highly recommend it.ReplyCancel

What is Classification?
Classification is a process where athletes with disabilities are classified into various groups in accordance with their physical and functional ability. This may be based purely on an evaluation of their disability or an evaluation of the impact of their functional abilities on their participation in a particular sport.
Classification is a formal process: there are specific processes and regulations which vary between sports. Classifiers must be accredited for state, national and international classification by the relevant International Sports Federation.
The Volleyball classification is based on the " Amputee and Les Autres" system used by ISOD (International Sports Organisation for the Disabled). In general classification is conducted utilising one or more of the following measures:
Level of amputation; Muscle strength; Joint range of motion; Difference in limb length
The Classification System
For International Sitting Volleyball Competitions:
Athletes must be classified prior to any participation in international competition. Athletes will be classified either Minimal Disability or full Disabled. Teams can only have two MD's on the roster and one MD on the court at any given time.
For Domestic Sitting Volleyball Competitions:
Any athlete with a disability or able-bodied athletes may be eligible to compete, each individual competition reserves the right to determine its own eligibility criteria.
For more information on the classification system or to determine who may be eligible please email: firstname.lastname@example.com .

CHARLOTTE -- Dale Jarrett showed up dressed for a pool party and ended up in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Jarrett was among five people selected for the Hall's 2014 class on Wednesday, though it came as a shock to the popular former champion; he wore khaki pants and a blue-and-white plaid button-down shirt so he could arrive at his son's high school graduation party dressed for the occasion.
"I came by to support the Hall of Fame because I believe in this place," said Jarrett, who was in his first year of eligibility. "… I wasn't planning on having my picture made or anything like that. I am very much surprised this happened on the first ballot."
Jarrett will be joined by NASCAR's first superstar, Fireball Roberts, two-time champion Tim Flock, engine builder Maurice Petty and Busch Series star Jack Ingram when the Hall inducts its fifth class on Jan. 29, 2014.
The 1999 Cup Series champion and a three-time Daytona 500 winner, Jarrett got a hug from his father, Hall of Famer Ned Jarrett, when his name was announced by NASCAR CEO Brian France. He shook his head in disbelief and his eyes appeared to well with tears.
MORE: Hall of Fame will open doors
12 QUESTIONS: Ryan Newman sits down with Jeff Gluck
"Once I saw I was on the (nominees) list, I was very appreciative of that and figured in a few years down the road it would probably happen," he said. "But I really came here with no idea. I just really didn't think that."
Team owner Joe Gibbs, whom Jarrett drove for from 1992-94, said in part in a statement:
"We are thrilled to hear that Dale has been named to the NASCAR Hall of Fame today. It is well deserved. His contributions to the sport are well documented and I can tell you his contributions to Joe Gibbs Racing really helped us to establish ourselves in the sport.
"The whole Gibbs family ... really appreciated Dale taking a chance on us as our first driver. He gave us our first win which just happens to remain our only Daytona 500 win."
Like Jarrett, Petty was also voted in on his first try. The younger brother of "The King" Richard Petty, Maurice was responsible for building the engines that powered seven championships and a record 200 wins.
He became the fourth member of the Petty clan to be inducted, along with Richard, father Lee and cousin Dale Inman, who was the team's crew chief.
Petty said the hair on the back of his neck stood up when his name was announced.
"Golly, it's great," he said. "That the Lord for it."
Maurice suspected Richard did some extensive lobbying on his behalf, but joked he didn't owe his brother anything for it.
"No," he said with a laugh. "He owes me for building all those motors."
Ingram made his name in one of NASCAR's lower series – the Late Model Sportsman division, which later became the Busch Series (now Nationwide). He won three Late Model Sportsman titles and added two more when the series reorganized to become the Busch Series in the early 1980s.
Wearing a big grin, Ingram said he "almost fell out of that chair" when his name was called. He leapt up, waved to those in attendance and walked down a row of seats accepting congratulations and shaking hands.
"It's a great, great thing to happen to somebody that put a life into short-track racing and Saturday night racing," he said. "To be recognized for what you accomplished is a good feeling."
Roberts, who lost on a tiebreaker during last year's vote, was arguably NASCAR's first superstar. A two-time winner of the Southern 500 and the 1962 Daytona 500 winner, Roberts -- nicknamed for his baseball pitching prowess -- is known as one of the greatest drivers to never win a title. He died in a fiery crash in 1964.
Flock, a two-time champion in the 1950s who was famous for racing with a pet monkey in his car, had 39 wins in only 187 starts. He retired in 1961, though his win total still ranks 18th on the all-time wins list. He died in 1998.
Flock's widow, Frances, wore a top with a monkey on it to symbolize Jocko Flocko (the monkey's name). She smiled broadly as she told reporters about the time Tim had to make a pit stop because Jocko had been hit in the head with a pebble, causing the primate to go wild in the car.
The top five vote-getters were elected from a ballot of 25. There was no minimum percentage required for induction, and voters each chose up to five names.
With 76% of the vote, Flock had a higher percentage than any other inductee in the class. Petty was next at 67%, followed by Jarrett (56%), Ingram (53%) and Roberts (51%).
NASCAR said the next top vote-getters were modified racer Jerry Cook – who barely missed for the second straight year – two-time champion Joe Weatherly and Wendell Scott, the first African-American driver to win a NASCAR race.
The class was voted on earlier Wednesday by a 54-member panel that included USA TODAY Sports' Nate Ryan, other media, NASCAR officials, track operators and former competitors. Ryan voted for Roberts, Flock, Turner, Lorenzen and Weatherly.

Racetrack magnate Bruton Smith; Rex White, the 1960 champion on NASCAR's premier circuit; and Larry Phillips, a short-track legend and five-time champion on NASCAR's Weekly Racing Series, were among first-time nominees not elected.
Joining Smith, White, and Phillips were 17 holdover nominees from last year's ballot that didn't get in. Those were Red Byron, Richard Childress, Jerry Cook, H. Clay Earles, Ray Fox, Anne B. France, Rick Hendrick, Bobby Isaac, Fred Lorenzen, Raymond Parks, Benny Parsons, Les Richter, T. Wayne Robertson, Wendell Scott, Ralph Seagraves, Curtis Turner and Joe Weatherly.
The nominees were chosen by a 21-person committee consisting of NASCAR officials, Hall of Fame reps and track owners. On the panel are: Hall of Fame executive director Winston Kelley; historian Buz McKim; NASCAR Chairman/CEO Brian France; Vice Chairman Jim France; President Mike Helton; Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton; Senior Vice President of Racing Operations Steve O'Donnell; Competition Administrator Jerry Cook; former Senior Vice President Paul Brooks; former Vice President Ken Clapp; International Speedway Corporation CEO Lesa Kennedy; Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell; Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage; Atlanta Motor Speedway President Ed Clark; former Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Tony George; Dover Motorsports CEO Denis McGlynn; Pocono Raceway board of director member Looie McNally; Bowman Gray Stadium operator Dale Pinilis; Riverhead Raceway operators Jim and Barbara Cromarty (1 vote); Rockford Speedway owner Jody Deery; and Kingsport Speedway Operator Robert Pressley.
Last year, the three highest vote totals of those who weren't inducted belonged to Roberts (who lost to Buck Baker on a tiebreaking vote for the final slot in the 2013 class), Cook and Flock.
2010: Richard Petty, Bill France, Dale Earnhardt, Junior Johnson, Bill France Jr.
2011: David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Ned Jarrett, Bud Moore, Lee Petty
2012: Darrell Waltrip, Cale Yarborough, Glen Wood, Dale Inman, Richie Evans
2013: Rusty Wallace, Cotton Owens, Herb Thomas, Buck Baker, Leonard Wood

James Geddes is no stranger to controversy. The District B candidate for the Douglas County School Board is a University of Colorado Regent who is pushing for change among the university's staff and in the definition of discrimination.
He believes the changes he seeks are coming, but said: "It's been against some significant resistance."
The surgeon and Sedalia resident sees a lack of intellectual diversity among college professors, and hopes to help enact change. He also wants to ensure individuals' expressions of political and philosophical beliefs are protected. Geddes introduced a pair of resolutions designed to address those issues in June.
Geddes, who describes himself as "a pretty strong conservative," said a preponderance of liberal professors doesn't provide students with a well-rounded education.
"Most of our universities across the country have become very leftist and the faculty is standing right together on a point of orientation," he said. "We're not providing the best possible educational environment for our kids, and that needs to change.
"We need to actively bring in high-quality academics who are proponents of the other side of some of these issues. Students then are well equipped to choose where they stand on these issues. I quite frankly think the same thing should be occurring in our high schools and junior highs to a certain degree."
If elected to the school board, Geddes said he would encourage a similar philosophy.
"I think it has to occur as an initiative of the actual faculty," he said. "For me to step in and say we're going to line up all the teachers in high school, figure out where they're standing politically and start sorting them into piles and reorganizing them — that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about an ethic we all need to share."
The Joplin, Mo., native grew up in Denver, and has a bachelor's degree from CU and a medical degree from the University of Colorado-Denver School of Medicine. He is an emergency trauma and emergency general thoracic surgeon in the Denver area.
A father of four, Geddes' two youngest children attend Cherry Hills Christian School; his oldest two are adults.
Geddes is a Douglas County Republicans-endorsed candidate who supports the district's current pay-for-performance plan and voucher program.
"I'm hoping that'll go through the court system and come back to us," he said of the voucher program. "Then we can fully implement it."
Measuring teacher success is not an easy task, he said.
"I don't think the last chapter's been written on how that's done," he said. "But in concept, if a teacher's doing a great job and creating eager learners … that teacher needs to be recognized, rewarded and retained."
Geddes said he would keep constituents foremost in his mind when making decisions on the board.
"First, we should consider what's best for our students, and best for our citizens," he said. "Also, of course, we have to be responsible to the employees of the district. We want them to be happy."
Geddes does not plan to seek another term on the CU Board of Regents. Elected to the board in 2008 to serve the 6th Congressional District, his current term expires in January 2015.
As a DCSD board member, he said, "I will be applying the conservative principles of limited government, individual freedom and individual responsibility that goes with freedom."

Skip to comments.Police Remove Congressman-Elect Grayson From Local Walmart For Union Agitating
Posted on 11/27/2012 8:17:47 AM PST by Kaslin
In spite of the embarrassing antics on full display during his first term in Congress, the voters in Floridas CD09 saw fit to send Alan Grayson back to Washington, D.C.
Naturally, the extreme elements of the far left supported Graysons return to office, but so too did many of our friends and neighbors. Perhaps even family members. He was also a recipient of overwhelming support from the Hispanic community, particularly those of Puerto Rican descent. And labor unions.
Theres no doubt he also received a fair share of votes from the disaffected and disengaged for the sheer entertainment value such a buffoon presents.
And Grayson wasted little time in making it clear that his second stint at playing a lawmaker will be no less mortifying than the first when he spent Thanksgiving night agitating Walmart workers on behalf of organized labor and disrupting the early start to Black Friday holiday shopping.
Union-backed groups OUR Walmart and Making Change at Wal-Mart were calling for an employee walkout during Black Friday.
In the typical theatrics that define the far left, our newly elected Congressman was handing out turkey sandwiches and letters explaining the right to organize to employees at a local Walmart, forcing management to call the police to have him escorted off the property.
One Walmart employee did walk off the job, although its not clear if this was staged beforehand.
How nice, huh? A fine representative of sleepy little Orlando with one small exception, the only ones who appear to be sleeping in this town are conservatives.
Its also worth noting that labor unions, primarily public sector unions, are the number one contributors to Grayson, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars.
As for private sector unions, while the media continues to perpetuate the myth that they are still relevant, the truth is less than 7% of private sector employees are now union members.
Companies understand that unions put them at a competitive disadvantage and may even force them into bankruptcy in the never-ending quest to get more for their members, regardless of how poor a financial decision it may be for a company. Case in point, Hostess.
In fact, while there was a time in America that labor unions played an important role, its fair to question if theyve outlived their usefulness in this country. Perhaps, more companies need to follow in the foot steps of Hostess to bring unions back to earth. Something union leaders individuals making six-figure salaries while forever pushing the class warfare narrative fully understand, which is why there is so much emphasis on organizing in the public sector and giving the Democratic Party money hand over fist to help facilitate this growth.
Negotiating with government officials who have no bottom line and no competition is the best of all possible worlds for unions. And to top it all off, most of the government officials involved in the negotiations are Democrats. A real cycle of convenience.
Meanwhile, the statement we get the government we deserve proves to be ever so true. Just ask the folks in Osceola and SE Orange County.
That SOB is back,what a pity.
This guy is such a pig. Can Robert Wexler be far behind?
An elected Congressman who gets arrested for just about anything should lose his seat.
I'm serious. The more you think about a "law maker" breaking the law the worse it seems.
Poster child for the looney left.
Oh, not at all! Just like the great Cynthia McKinney before him, his antics will do more far more for Conservative fundraiser and getting out the vote than any possible damage he could ever do as a peon freshman Representative of the minority party.
West out, Grayson in. Voters will get what they vote for.
Sad day in America that the people who are supposed leaders are scumbags and crooks.
I no longer want to hear about fixin' it in 2016. It will not be fixed anymore at the polls because the corrupt and lawless control the polls.
The people of Floridas CD09 elected this loser and they get what they deserve!
A more despicable human being I have yet to meet. How the people could have voted for him amazes me.
Why don't we start a union, only make it conservative. Use all the funds for conservative causes and bribing politicians for conservative laws.
Basically emulate what the AFL-CIO does only for freedom.
Obama should make him Secretary Of State , Oh wait he's WHITE
It ain't gonna stop until some way is found so that people without "skin in the game" cannot vote .....until they can prove that they are positively supporting the system.....
..or the tax system changes so that nobody can escape supporting the system..
The simple fact is that we got creamed on November 6 with a business school candidate and a terrible campaign. Axelrod said yesterday that he was amazed that Romney did not go after Obama harder personally and instead ran a campaign on an economy 95% of the electorate doesn't understand. In the Senate, same same. Tipp O'Neil said "all politics is local." He was wrong. All politics is personal and we blew it while the Dems used vicious tactics to claim that Romney would take-away all the stuff they like from government. Repubs may be extinct in 2016.
He is a real piece of work. Our military men and women face being discharged with no benefits for being unsuitable for far less then what this jerk did. The Army or any service will convene a suitability evaluation board. Congress should face the same.I find his actions totally unsuitable for a US congressmen.
It seems to me that a small group of officers sent in to bust up such a protest, could really sport Grayson as only cops can do.
For example, there are tricks that can be used when arresting someone, that turn the arrest into "resisting arrest". Then the instant that he "resists", Taser him.
Once Tasered, thoroughly bind him up and put him in the back of a patrol car, and if he is unconscious, drench him with whiskey, so he really reeks. Lose the shoes and socks.
Then take him to the jail on a charge of public intoxication and drunk and disorderly, maybe throw in the ha-ha charge of indecent exposure. Be sure to arrange a bunch of photos with his hair messed up, hopefully while still unconscious.
Once he is booked, and his identity "officially" known, then immediately release him and give him a ride home, without a breathalyzer or other sobriety test, and dropping all arrest charges.
And then discreetly post the photos on the Internet.
"Obama should make him Secretary Of State , Oh wait hes WHITE!"
And Jewish! the Secular Progressive Jews that put him back in office don't remember the Holocaust I guess, because this guy is just your plain old garden variety Nazi!
"It ain't gonna stop until some way is found so that people without "skin in the game" cannot vote"
Which is to say it isn't going to stop at all.
What we are living through is the US undergoing it's 'reversion to the mean'.
It will be long, slow, sad, and ultimately a sudden end.
Asslrot(sic) said yesterday...
Honestly, how can you take a government seriously that has this profound imbecile involved in it?
State republicans redrew the districts in a manner that CAUSED West to lose and Grayson to win. Then the RNC wouldn't back Grayson's opponent.
"It ain't gonna stop until some way is found so that people without "skin in the game" cannot vote"
They have skin in the game, that is where the race card comes from.
You can thank the GOP for creating this seat and redristicting Col. West OUT of his seat. Prof once again that the GOP is not to be trusted, believed or supported. Conservatives are not wanted in the GOP; so goodbye to them. I resigned last week.

Grayson is the poster child for asylum escapees.
Yeah, you're right. But Grayson really is a nut case, yet he is re-elected. Shaking my head.
A little sympathy, please, for the Reagan Conservatives that still happen to live in his new district. We got stuck with this idiot in '08, worked hard to dump him in '10, and then woke up one morning and found ourselves in a new district. My worst fears were confirmed when he announced but we knew that he hadn't stopped campaigning and raising money since Jan '09. Now, look who I have representing my interests—Alan Grayson (yikes!!), Marco Rubio (Thank God), Bill Nelson (when is that cadaver ever going to retire), and, last but not least, Barack (Tax us to oblivion) Obama (double yikes). At least MSDNC will have a new guest host for The Ed Show and at least, no one will see him.
...yep...I haven't much hope that I will ever see anything like even 10 years ago. I am afraid that the 47% numbers are a LOT more than anyone thought, and given that, there is no way that anybody with a R beside their name can get elected to any Federal position. I really expect that the trend will start moving into the "red" states starting in '14.
The "takers" are now piloting this ship in a power dive....ending up at the scene of the crash.
You think Grayson's bad?
Have a look at what the people of Nashua, NH elected to represent them in their State Legislature.
Not only a lifelong career criminal, convicted felon, public nuisance and welfare cheat, but "transgendered".
It's very likely that he/she/it will be running for U.S. Congress some day.
The crazier they are the more Democrat support they get... See Jesse Jackson Jr, Debbie whatsername Smith, actually there are so many I couldn't begin to name them all
Oh $h!t, have to see this @$$hole for years to come ?
Unbelievable. Leave it to republicans to shoot themselves in the foot.
I like your idea. IMO, time to play dirty. In fact do it to lot of the leftists.
Which law did Grayson break?
"Why dont we start a union, only make it conservative"
Somebody already did:
Love it
Only make it mandatory to join in those non-right to work states. use the labor laws they've been pushing against them.
I like the way you think. Remind me not to piss you off ;-)
Did they? And is that the standard for trespassing in Orlando?
This pig got elected and West lost?? Florida really is the South's garbage can.
Per the article, I can imagine: Trespassing (which is why he was forcibly removed). Terroristic threats. He participating in intimidating customers which makes him a fun candidate for inciting violence. Heck, how about some of those fun bullying laws. Disorderly conduct. Organizing without a permit. Probably drunk in public based on his personal record.
He's a complete dick so that makes him guilty of exposing himself to children. Assuming there were children at Wal-Mart that day.
Man, take your pick.
"You can thank the GOP for creating this seat and redristicting Col. West OUT of his seat. Prof once again that the GOP is not to be trusted, believed or supported. Conservatives are not wanted in the GOP; so goodbye to them. I resigned last week."
In any event, Congressman West ran in a district that was more Republican than the district in which he ran in 2010 (albeit not as Republican as a St. Lucie-based district would have been had redistricters been able to place black neighborhoods in Fort Pierce in Alcee Hastings's black-majority district as they did prior to the "fair districts" amendment). Had GOP redistricters been unencumbered by that stupid amendment and been able to gerrymander the old Broward-Palm Beach FL-22 to make it more Republican than before, perhaps it would have placed West in a better situation for reelection than what he ended up with, but not by much. Congressman West was never a good fit for the socially liberal Gold Coast, and he should have run statewide for the U.S. Senate, where he would have been a much better candidate than the RINOish Connie Mack and perhaps would have beaten Bil Nelson.
So don't blame Congressman West's loss on the FL legislature—it was those stupid voters in Florida, and particularly those in Port St. Lucie, that did him in. FL Republicans have done a lot of stupid things in the past, but screwing over Allen West was not one of them.
Most likely the standard everywhere.
If you ask someone to leave your private property and they don't comply, they are trespassing after having a reasonable time to do so.
Wal-Mart and I'm sure many other stores, deal with minor shop lifting in a similar manner. They take a picture of the shop lifter and inform them if they are ever seen in any W-M store they will be arrested for trespassing.
W-M is not public property, just like your yard is not public property, no one has a "right" to be there.
that's nice but the discussion was about the comment about law-makers breaking the law. Grayson wasn't arrested and he didn't break the law.
