Losing weight and getting and staying fit is hard for everyone, from Oprah to the contestants on "The Biggest Loser" to the fitness editor.
When I tell people I'm the fitness editor at The Denver Post, invariably the reaction is, "How cool! You get paid to work out."
Um, actually, that never happens. It's true that reviewing fitness clubs and gyms is a tiny part of the job, but I go to them on the weekends or in the morning before work. I write about them on work time, yes, but if I had to do the working-out part on company time, I'd never get any work done. So I squeeze in all of my workouts just like everybody else.
I can remember at one point thinking – like so many have — that it must be easy for Oprah and other wealthy celebrities to lose weight because they can pay a trainer and a gourmet chef to whip up low-fat, low-calorie meals all the time and then they can take time off to go run on the beach whenever they want. And sure, that must help.

- "Real Talk. Real Issues. Real Patronizing. Radio that's all about you."
- ―GTA V website.
West Coast Talk Radio or WCTR is a talk radio show with many liberals, conservatives, and exotic people in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V. It is owned by Ammu-Nation. It is headquartered in Missionary Hill, San Fierro in GTA San Andreas and in West Vinewood, Los Santos in GTA V, and consists of several programs. In Grand Theft Auto V, WCTR is only available to listen to in the city of Los Santos with Blaine County Talk Radio replacing it when traveling north.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- WCTR News: Hosted by Lianne Forget with Richard Burns, which features up-to-date news in the State of San Andreas, often reporting incidents that happened in a mission, such as the stealing of a Hydra plane in the mission Vertical Bird or the burning of the weed plantation in Are You Going To San Fierro? Among all the radio stations, this is the most up-to-date show which keeps up with the story line. Burns does get too involved in reporting, such as interviewing a carjacker, in the process of carjacking, and getting high on weed on air at least twice.
- The Tight End Zone: Sports program hosted by Derrick Thackery. Thackery does not actually care as much about the sports he loves than the passions aroused from it.
- The Wild Traveler: Travel program hosted by James Pedeaston. Pedeaston is a child molester wanted in Malaysia and is currently being investigated by the FBI. He enjoys traveling the world and logging some of his most 'exotic' encounters in his travelogue, some of which he accidentally reads on-air to the (unintentional) disgust of listeners. His show appears to be so reviled by his listeners that at one point, he receives no calls at all.
- Entertaining America: Entertainment program hosted by Billy Dexter and later Lazlow, featuring various guests. Dexter is accidentally shot in the head by a gun-wielding Jack Howitzer, and after a rather lengthy hiatus (which includes Howitzer's subsequent conviction on WCTR news) is replaced by Lazlow. Lazlow interviews OG Loc, who he pronounces it as literally Og Loc, and Cris Formage and gets badgered by Darius Fontaine on the phone.
- Gardening with Maurice: Gardening show hosted by Maurice. Maurice has a rather horny personality; he not only loves his gardens, but his own body as well. For example, he likes to take pictures of both when they are "blossoming." He also offers unorthodox advice and unusual plant suggestions to callers.
- I Say/You Say: Political debate show hosted by husband-and-wife liberal-and-conservative team of Peyton Phillips and Mary Phillips. Peyton and Mary are caricatures of their ideologies; Peyton having communist inclinations while Mary plays 'greedy capitalist'. For example, when dealing with a caller that had recently buried the corpses of numerous illegal immigrants in his backyard, Mary advises the caller on how to use the corpses to evade his taxes while Peyton mentions recycling and organ donation. Early shows feature a desperate Lazlow looking for a radio job, asking if he can take Peyton's and stating that he used to be on the radio "back in the day", referring to his jobs as radio talk show host of V-Rock in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
- Lonely Hearts: Relationship advice program hosted by Christy MacIntyre, featuring Fernando Martinez; he briefly mentions being "chased out" (of Vice City) and alludes to a "Five Alarm Fire".
- Area 53: A Coast to Coast AM spoof hosted by Marvin Trill. The show is dedicated to conspiracy theories and UFO sightings. Early shows featured Adam First, he says while hang-gliding in Bone County, he saw a man in a trailer compound preforming strange rituals with Domestabots. Trill, who is revealed to be the man, tells him to get a real hobby and hangs up.
Grand Theft Auto V
- Chattersphere: A talk show hosted by Lazlow Jones with his co-host Michelle Minx. The two hosts constantly insult and harass each other. Lazlow calls Michelle a feminist while Michelle calls Lazlow an idiot.
- Chakra Attack: A talk show that takes a west coast approach to spirituality. Hosted by Dr. Ray De Angelo Harris with producer Nurse Cheryl Fawkes.
- The Fernando Show: A talk show hosted by Fernando Martinez and producer Jo that mainly consists of an interview with Sue Murry.
Depending on a player's progress through the game's storyline, the segments played on WCTR will change. Thus, during one segment of the game, the player may only hear specific portions of programs not to be heard again as new segments are aired. This phenomenon is prominent in the 'WCTR News', 'Entertaining America', and 'The Wild Traveler' programs. Various intros, outros and comments delivered by Barbara Fox. Several characters from the main game make cameos in the radio programs and advertising.
It shows the occasional news breakthrough from the game, and OG Loc makes the occasional appearance after you "retrieved" some rhymes from Madd Dogg. Big Smoke also appears as a person who is forced to serve community service and is spokesperson for the "little guy."
- In GTA V, if you drive from Los Santos to Blaine County, the signal from WCTR will be lost and the next station on the dial, Soulwax FM, is tuned in automatically. Upon returning to Los Santos and thereby losing Blaine County Radio's signal, the radio to automatically tune in to Blue Ark FM.
- On WCTR Michelle Minx says that WCTR Broadcasts for "all of Los Santos and Blaine County" even though if you drive out of Los Santos to Blaine County the station will tune out.
- Lazlow has been one of the hosts for WCTR across two universes.
- It is generally a Liberal radio station, while Blaine County Talk Radio is Conservative leaning.
- Gardening with Maurice was referenced for the first time in GTA III during the Chatterbox FM segment, when a caller talks about turnips and rooted vegetables and how Lazlow said "that's on later", but then the caller mentions he has been taken out the air. This could mean that Gardening with Maurice was once part of LCFR between 1998 and 2001.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power:
And what will explain to thee what the night of power is?
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
Therein come down the angels and the Spirit (Jibril, or Gabriel) by Allah's permission, on every errand: Peace!…This until the rise of morn. – Qur'an, 97:1-5
Laylat al-Qadr, (also known as Shab-e-Qadr), the Night of Destiny, Night of Power, Night of Value, the Night of Decree or Night of Measures, is the anniversary of the night the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
Muslims believe that revelation of the Qur'an occurred in two phases, with the first phase being the revelation in its entirety on Laylat Al-Qadr by Allah to the Archangel Gabriel in the lowest heaven, and then the subsequent verse-by-verse revelation to Prophet (pbuh) by Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic). The revelation started in 610 CE at the Hira cave on Mount Nur in Mecca.
Because of the revealed importance of this night, Muslims strive harder in the last ten days of Ramadan since the Laylat al-Qadr could be one of the odd-numbered days in the last ten (the first, third, fifth, seventh or ninth)
The Night of Destiny will be, inshallah, on August 25, 2011 for those countries that started fasting on July 31st, and August 26, 2011 for those countries that started Ramadan on August 1st.
The Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "Whoever prays on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and sincerity, shall have all their past sins forgiven." – Bukhari and Muslim, from Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with them).
Ya Haqq!

Homers, rain hurt Gonzalez in loss to Detroit
Right-hander goes 3 1/3, gives up pair of home runs after delay
DETROIT -- The Orioles' arrival into Detroit was rocky on Thursday night, as the team had trouble securing a plane and didn't land until 3:30 a.m., a scenario made worse with the looming afternoon game.
But the player who struggled the most in the cold, rain-soaked conditions on Friday afternoon was the only one who avoided the travel delay: right-hander Miguel Gonzalez. The Orioles starter, sent to Detroit in advance of Thursday night's game, was uncharacteristically wild and ineffective over 3 1/3 innings, as Baltimore dropped its third consecutive contest, 10-4, to the Tigers.
"I don't think he had a feel for the baseball," manager Buck Showalter said of Gonzalez, who tied a career high with seven earned runs allowed. "And same way with [Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez] and some of their pitchers. You could see that with a lot of pitches. This time of year, the balls are slick and it is tough. But everybody's got challenges.
"We didn't make whatever adjustments you can make in the weather. But Miguel is better than that, we know that. You could tell he never really got into a comfort zone. You don't see him miss by as far as he was missing today on some pitches."
The series-opening defeat to the Tigers was the latest in a disturbing very early-season trend for the sluggish Orioles (1-3) who have yet to receive a quality start.
"What else would would you expect? After the night we had last night, it wasn't going to be easy," said Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, who was working on about five hours of sleep along with his teammates after a weather issue in Ohio delayed the team's scheduled charter plane until 1 a.m.
"That's the beautiful thing about it; we get a chance to do it again tomorrow. Obviously, we looked a little flat today. It was kind of nice to see the guys push again at the end. Fight back a little bit. But they pretty much took it to us today."
And Gonzalez bore the brunt of it, as the right-hander -- who came back out following a 34-minute rain delay in the middle of the fourth inning -- surrendered seven earned runs on nine hits and a walk, with two hit batsmen.
"It's tough when you don't have your secondary pitch, especially when your fastball command is not as good as it was last year," said Gonzalez, who stayed loose during the delay by throwing in the batting cages. "I just got to fix that and I'll be alright."
Up two early, courtesy of Chris Davis' first-inning double, Gonzalez gave back the lead in an ugly three-run second in which he hit a pair of batters and watched the go-ahead run score on a wild pitch.
"Getting in late last night kind of affected the team a little bit, but this is baseball. You've got to come ready and prepare every day, no matter what the circumstance is," catcher Steve Clevenger said. "[Gonzalez] was just up in the zone a little bit today. He really didn't have his breaking ball. He really didn't have much of anything today. He just tried to battle through it."
After Austin Jackson's leadoff double in the second, Gonzalez walked Alex Avila and Tigers prospect Nick Castellanos laced a ball into right field for his first Major League RBI. One out later, Gonzalez hit Rajai Davis with a pitch, and Ian Kinsler tied the game at 2 with a single to center field.
On that play, the O's were fortunate that Castellanos ran through a sign at third base and Adam Jones fired the ball in to Chris Davis, who hit third baseman Jonathan Schoop for the second out. Gonzalez plunked Torii Hunter after that, earning a chorus of boos from the crowd, and his wild pitch to Miguel Cabrera scored the inning's third run.
Gonzalez allowed a pair of runners to reach in the bottom of the fourth, on a single to left and a bunt single, before play was suspended due to heavy rain with an 0-1 count on Rajai Davis.
Davis didn't mind the delay, clobbering Gonzalez's seventh pitch for a three-run shot when play resumed. Hunter got revenge after being plunked as well, sending a 1-1 pitch over the left-field wall to stretch the Tigers' lead to five.
"[Gonzalez] is better than that," Showalter said. "But he won't use [the conditions] as an excuse."
True to form, Gonzalez pointed out that Sanchez -- who went four innings -- and every other pitcher was dealing with the same weather.
"No complaints," he said. "Just got to go out there and make pitches. It was the first one, might as well get it out of the way. Better now than later."
The Orioles' offense twice put the first two men on in an inning but couldn't score. Chris Davis and Nelson Cruz each walked in the fourth, but Sanchez got Clevenger to ground out, Schoop to pop up and Ryan Flaherty -- who remains hitless on the season -- to strikeout.
The O's put two on again to start the fifth on Steve Lombardozzi's single and an error -- which Tigers manager Brad Ausmus challenged and lost -- that saw Lombardozzi confirmed safe at second and Nick Markakis reach first. But reliever Drew Smyly got a pair of flyouts and struck out Chris Davis looking to end the inning.
"I don't think anybody wanted to play in those conditions, but we had to do it," Chris Davis said. "It's just one of those games where you knew the odds were stacked against you going into it, but you still got to go out there and compete."
Orioles reliever Josh Stinson followed Gonzalez and allowed one run on four hits over 2 2/3 innings. Ryan Webb, who had a 1-2-3 seventh, gave up a first-pitch two run homer to Cabrera in the eighth -- his 2,000th career hit -- to put Detroit in double digits.
"We didn't do some things well," Showalter said. "I'll chalk this one up to the challenges that hopefully we won't face every day. But the Tigers are a pretty good club, obviously."

Florida Regional Feature: Florida's new Prince of Pop
This is the first of a ten-part series previewing all ten regions of the United States. The schedule is as follows:
Top Storylines
1. McCarthy Looks to Repeat
Archbishop McCarthy proved to be the best team in the state and country last year, going 29-3 en route to a Florida 4A and Perfect Game National Title. The team loses a talented group of seniors like 2B/RHP Alex Fernandez, 3B/RHP Jose Brizuela, and C Garrett Kennedy, but return a slew of talent on the mound and at the plate. They open the season at #11 nationally but are still the team to beat in the Miami area.
2. Move from 6 to 8 classes
What affect this will have is not certain yet, but it will take away some former playoff rivalries such as Archbishop McCarthy and Tampa Jesuit who met in last year's 4A title. This year Mccarthy makes a two class jump to 6A, while Jesuit moves up one to 5A.
3. Olympia Star Power
Olympia finished just in 6A District 5 despite a roster that included RHP Walker Weickel, OF Jesse Winker, and OF Connor Lien. This year the expectations are even bigger for the Titans as highly ranked sophomore SS/RHP Nick Gordon figures to star at the plate and on the mound in his sophomore year. They are the early favorite in the Orlando area with West Orange, Deland, Lake Brantley, Eustis, and a host of others right behind them.
4. Baseball Academies
A trend in the last few years has been the rise in college prep academies all over the country. Now these academies are also focusing on sports with Florida being a natural selection for any anything outdoor. IMG was the first in the 1980s, first focusing on tennis and golf and gradually building up its other athletic programs with this year's baseball squad looking like the school's best ever, debuting at #31 in the PG Pre-Season Top 50. Arlington Country Day and Montverde Academy, basketball powerhouses, have ramped up their baseball programs, producing top ten picks Fransisco Lindor (Montverde) and Javier Baez (ACD) in 2010. Bucky Dent Baseball School in Delray Beach is another school that has thrown themselves into the mix. What affects these schools will have on the recruiting process and high school baseball in general is a hot topic for 2012 and the future of high school baseball.
5. Westminster Christian OF David Thompson
The outfielder became the most prodigious homerun hitter in Florida state history midway thru his junior season in 2011. PG's Jeff Dahn profiles the slugger here.
Top Matchups
February 24 Archbishop McCarthy @ Columbus
In a game that will be the first HS Game of the week for the 2012 season, McCarthy will face their first big test of their 2011 PG National Title defense against perennial power Columbus. The game could feature a top pitching matchup with McCarthy boasting LHP Andre Martinez and RHP Nick Travieso and Columbus with RHPs Mike Vinson and Yency Almonte.
February 27 Olympia @ Montverde Academy
Olympia has high level 2012 talent in RHP Walker Weickel and OFs Jesse Winker and Connor Lien not to mention top 2014 SS/RHP Nick Gordon, Montverde will be a tough matchup with a young team of athletes led by OF Alexis Rivera.
March 3 West Orange @ American Heritage
West Orange was a surprise team in the Orlando area last year, but the target is on their back in 2012. LHP Antony Seise is their top arm and will look to shut down one of the best teams in the state in Heritage in an Orlando vs. Miami battle.
March 16 Pace (FL) vs. Memphis University (TN)
Interstate matchups are always fun, and this one is very interesting. Pace has top 2012 SS Addison Russell as well as OF Patrick Maddox and will make the trek northwest to Memphis to take on a very talented University roster led by SS Dalton Dulin.
March 17 Gulliver Prep @ Jesuit
In the matchup of preseason #1 and #4 teams stars will be aplenty all over the field. Gulliver edged RHP Lance McCullers and Jesuit 7-6 in a game last year played on the campus of the Univeristy of Miami. This year even more will be at stake with a #1 ranking and National Title well within each team's sights.
Florida High School Dream Team
*Based on present tools and position played for high school team
C Zack Collins, Jr. American Heritage
One of the toughest positions to choose; Collins impact bat made him the pick over the defensive prowess of Chris Okey, and the total package of a trio of 2012 grads: Chris Chinea, Bryan De La Rosa, and Phildrick Llewellyn.
1B Keon Barnum, Sr. Tampa King
Barnum's power bat is one of the best in the class. The PG All-American has a big, strong frame and excellent power potential and bat speed and is also a good athlete for his size. Tomas Nido is a player with the same tools as Barnum from the right side with big time power.
2B Spencer Trayner, Jr. Tampa Jesuit
It is tough to find a high profile second baseman as the top infield prospect for most teams plays on the other side of the bag. Trayner plays SS when Lance McCullers is on the mound or DHing and is a top two-way player himself. Other 2B that play the position exclusively are Brett Lashley, Brandon Diaz, and Jason Morozowski.
SS Addison Russell, Sr. Pace
Russell profiles at 3B at the next level but for now his athleticism and arm strength allows him to play a very good high school SS. His bat is one of the best in the class. Florida is loaded with SS this year including Oscar Mercado, Avery Romero, Richie Martin, and Brandon Lopez.
3B Eric Neitzel, Sr. Gulliver Prep
Neitzel is one of the steadiest players in the state. He has a power right-handed bat to go with good hands and arm strength at 3B. He is one of the leaders of a senior class at Gulliver which very big things are expected of.
OF Jesse Winker, Sr. Olympia (two-time Florida Dream Team selection)
OF Albert Almora, Sr. Mater Academy (two-time Florida Dream Team selection)
OF Lewis Brinson, Sr. Coral Springs
A star-studded outfielder featuring two PG All-American's in Winker and Almora. The trio offers a little bit of everything with the polished, power bat of Winker, the athleticism and top of the order CF skills of Almora, and the huge athletic potential of the long, athletic Brinson. A bevy of other choices were available including speedster Jamal Martin, fast rising Connor Lien, and HR champ David Thompson.
UTIL Lance McCullers, Sr. Tampa Jesuit (two-time Florida Dream Team selection)
McCullers profiles as a pitcher at the next level and has a chance to be a Top 10 overall pick. He doubles as one of the best SS and hitters in the state for #1 Tampa Jesuit and will play two ways on the Florida Dream Team. He has tons of power from the left side of the plate and was clocked at an astounding 97 mph across the infield at 2011 PG National. A few young two-way players to watch are 2013 Brett Hanewich and 2014 Touki Touissant.
P Walker Weickel, Sr. Olympia
P Carson Fulmer, Sr. All Saints Academy
P Zach Eflin, Sr. Hagerty
P Nick Travieso, Sr. Archbishop McCarthy
P Robert Whalen, Sr. Haines City
An impressive group of hard throwers. Weickel is the most highly touted with high athleticism, 6'6 205 pound frame and a fastball that has reached 94. He played in the PG All-American Game in August as did Fulmer, who has been clocked as high as 95. Eflin is one of the fastest risers in the 2012 class and has been up to 95 this spring. Travieso helped McCarthy win the 2011 PG National Championship and will be leaned on more heavily in his senior year. Whalen is an underrated arm who has consistently stood out at PG events and has been up to 93 mph. Other pithchers that deserve recognition are righties Hayden Hurst, Jake Fossick, Jon Sandfort and lefties Max Foody, John Kilichowski, and Alex Hagner.
Florida Region Best Tools
Best Hitter For Average Addison Russell, Sr. SS Pace
Russell was an easy choice for the category. He has as much strength and bat speed as any players in the state and swings on a line drive plane, ripping line drives all over the field. He also has a knack to square up almost every pitch he swings at and there is very little swing/miss in his game.
Best Hitter For Power Jesse Winker, Sr. OF Olympia
Winker and Keon Barnum are the best two power hitters in the state and the choice of Winker comes down to power potential vs. usable power. Barnum is big, strong and projects to hit a lot of longballs in his day. Winker is not as big and strong but has huge power and has shown it at top level events like PG National, 17u WWBA, and at the WWBA World Championship. Tomas Nido is another name in the discussion with big time raw power and bat speed.
Best Baserunner Albert Almora, Sr. OF Mater Academy
Almora may not have the pure speed of some of the players in the state but is a terror on the basepaths. He gets on base as much as any player and his instincts and quick first step allow him to steal bases almost at will and take extra bases at every opportunity.
Best Defensive Catcher Chris Okey, Jr. C Eustis
Okey has lots of experience catching high level arms as he has been teammates with top 2013 Alex Hagner for a number of years as well as catching for 16u Team USA and for FTB Mizuno during the summer/fall. He has top of the scale receiving and blocking skills and is a leader behind the plate. He is quick with his feet and popped at 1.80 at 2011 PG Junior National. Bryan De La Rosa and Phildrick Llewellyn were standouts at 2012 PG World Showcase in January and are also very talented defensive backstops.
Best Defensive Infielder Oscar Mercado, Jr. SS, Gaither
In one of the tougher categories to choose, Mercado barely beats out a pair of 2012 standouts, Richie Martin and Brandon Lopez. Mercado is a long, smooth athlete with very good footwork and easy arm strength. Mercado may not be as flashy as those two upperclassman but is extremely smooth and easy with all his actions, showing off his tools at the WWBA World Championship in October.
Best Defensive Outfielder Albert Almora, Sr. OF, Mater Academy
As smooth and easy Mercado is on the infield, Almora is his equal in the outfield. He seems to glide effortlessly to the ball, taking great routes. His athleticism and footwork allow him to get to balls quickly and get rid of them and his 89 mph arm strength is an asset as well. Almora's tools project as an above average CF, something not a lot of players can boast.
Best Infield Arm Brandon Lopez, Sr. SS, American Heritage
If McCullers was a full time SS he would take this category as he was up to 97 across the diamond at 2011 PG National. Lopez is a primary SS and projects to play the position at the next level. He has quick feet, smooth actions and a great arm that allows him to make plays that others wouldn't have a shot at. He has also been up to 91 on the mound.
Best Outfield Arm Brett Phillips, Sr. OF, Seminole
An NC State commit, Phillips was viewed as a high D1 prospect by PG scouts during his tournament play other the last three years but had a breakout performance at 2012 World Showcase where he wowed scouts with 96 mph velo from the outfield. It is usable arm strength as well with online carry and good accuracy.
Best Fastball Lance McCullers, RHP, Sr. Tampa Jesuit
McCullers was clocked at 87 when he as a 5'11 140 pound 14 year old at the 2008 PG BCS Florida Qualifier and has continued to progress from there throwing 95 at the 2010 PG Junior National at 100 mph at 2011 East Coast Pro.
Best Offspeed Stuff Lance McCullers, RHP, Sr. Tampa Jesuit
When a player has enough arm strength to throw 100 mph, he also has the arm speed to throw offspeed pitches very hard and with tight spin. McCullers has excellent hand speed on a curveball at 83-84 with sharp two plane break and hard spin. He also throws a changeup with very good arm speed at 82-83. Command is the issue with the off-speed offerings but the quality of the offerings have no peer.
Best Command Walker Weickel, RHP, Sr. Olympia
Weickel doesn't have a knockout off speed pitch like McCullers but consistently pounds the zone with a sinking fastball that usually sits 91-93. He also mixes in a curveball and changeup, each of which he can throw for strikes. Weickel's stuff might not be as swing and miss and some other 2012 arms but he repeats, throws strikes and has very good command of his fastball inside the strike zone.
Best Pitchability Dylan Silva, LHP, American Heritage-Delray
Silva isn't exactly a soft-tosser, running his fastball to 90 at times, but is the epitome of pitchability. Nothing he throws is straight, and he changes speeds, hits spots with three pitches and genrally makes life very hard on any hitter facing him. Silva has stood out on two occasions against top level competition, striking out seven in two innings of work including McCullers, Jameis Winston (AL), Addison Russell, and Joey Gallo (NV) in succession at 2011 PG National, and throwing three shutout innings against East Cobb Baseball on the marquee opening night game of the 2011 PG WWBA World Championship.

Canadoodle Australian Labradoodles
"Where best friends are born"
Meet Our Puppies
Canadoodles Gets Social
Canadoodle Australian Labradoodles where the first Multigeneration Australian Labradoodles were born in North America.
Canadoodle Australian Labradoodles are an In-Home program, our Labradoodles are a part of our family. We have a handful of doodles who live with us and the rest are happily living with their forever Guardian Families. Puppies are all hand whelped and raised in our home and spend their early days in the dining room (the hub of the house) until they are three weeks old. Puppies then move to our family room/dog room where they have doggy doors to our exciting and stimulating puppy play yards.
Meet The Parents
History of the Australian Labradoodle
The Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. In the late 1980's the Guide Dog Association of Australia set out to produce a non-shedding dog suitable for service training. Mr. Wally Conren was the driving force behind this program, and the goal was to produce a non-shedding guide dog by using a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle.
The result of this cross produced intelligent, easily trainable puppies that were the beginning of the Labradoodle as we now know it. Crossing these two breeds also gave the Labradoodle a hybrid vigor and a variety of coat types.
Over the years both American Cocker Spaniel and English Cocker Spaniel, as well as Irish Water Spaniel, have been added to the equation, this has resulted in the Australian Labradoodle that we know and love today.

Yes, you can pick up or visit us by appointment. Send us an email at email@example.com to make an appointment.
How much is the shipping cost?
Shipping rate for our Columba Bikes (Approximate):
The gears make a clacking noise. It sounds like the chain is knocking against something. Do you know how I can fix this?
This sound is normally created by the derailleur arm touching the chain after shifting. The derailleur needs to be either shifted further or shifted less far to move out of the way of the chain. When you hear this clacking noise, you should twist the shifter a bit so that the noise will go away.
To correctly fix this problem, you will need to find whether it occurs in the front or rear derailleur. If it occurs in the front derailleur, you need to twist the left shifter. If occurs in the rear derailleur, you need to twist the right shifter.
If the sound persists even after you twist your shifters, you may need to adjust the front or rear derailleur. For instructions on how to do this, check out the following video tutorials:
Video show how to adjust the front derailleur.
Video show how to adjust the rear derailleur.
Why my foot touching front wheel while make a turn?
It is possible that you had installed the bike incorrectly.
When the bike is shipped, the front fork is turned inward to save space. Before plug in the handlebar, if you did not turn the fork outward by 180 degrees, when you riding the bike, your foot may touching the front wheel.
To check the right position after installation, the front brake assembly need be in front of the front fork, if it is behind it, then it is wrongly installed.
Here is a video showing how to install the bike, at 45", it shows that you have to turn the fork outward: Install When pedaling, your shoe should only extend one to two inches beyond the front of the pedal.
When riding the SP26S bike, can you turn while pedaling?
The clearance from the pedal to the front tire is six inches. If a person pedals correctly, there will be no issue while turning. But if a person pedals with his/her heels, then his/her feet may touch the front wheel when turning. The following is a link to a web page teaching people how to pedal correctly: How to Pedal When pedaling, your shoe should only extend one to two inches beyond the front of the pedal.
If the pedal-to-front tire clearance on your bike is less than six inches, you may have installed the front wheel backwards. To fix this, simply remove the handlebar stem from the head tube (quick-release) and turn the wheel 180 degrees, so that the front brake assembly is in front of the fork rather than behind the fork. Then put the handlebar stem back in the head tube.
What is the check List before Riding?
1. Check your brakes. Make sure the brake pads for both wheels are not touching the rims of the wheels (when brakes are not being applied). If a brake pad is touching the wheel's rim, the brakes may need to be adjusted or the wheel may need to be trued. Check out the videos on our FAQ page.
2. Check the tire pressure with a tire gauge. The maximum tire pressure is displayed on the tire's sidewall. Make sure your tire pressure is at least 85% of the maximum marked pressure.
3. Check the quick release mechanisms. Make sure the handlebar quick-release, frame quick-release and seat post quick-release mechanisms are locked. Observe and follow the minimum insertion mark on the seat post and handlebar stem to avoid issues.
4. A mistake that must be avoided: Make sure the brake assembly is in front of the bike's front forks. Sometimes, if the user was not paying attention, the brake assembly may have been left behind the front forks. If this situation happens, simply unlock the handlebar quick-release, then turn the wheel 180 degrees around the center line of the head tube. Now, the brake assembly will be situated in front of the front forks. Then, lock the handlebar quick-release.

How to Feast Like a Bengali
Festivals are a good excuse to eat in any culture and one of Bengal's biggest culinary celebrations takes place on April 14 – the Bengali New Year, also known as Poila Boishakh.
Before I share some of my favourite recipes for the Bengali New Year feast, it's important to point out that Bengali meals are eaten in a certain order. Vegetarian dishes are followed by fish and meat, and finally dessert. The flavor builds slowly from subtle to robust and it is sacrilege to mix courses and gravies.
A traditional Bengali feast begins with a fried vegetable like red spinach leaves. A fancier preparation may be the potoler dolma, or pointed gourd stuffed with a cottage cheese mix. This is followed by a bowl of dal, or lentil soup. The fish courses ideally include prawn, hilsa or koi, also known as climbing perch. The mutton dishes may be kosha (without gravy) or rezala (milk-based gravy). All this is served with steamed rice, puffed bread or luchis, tomato and papaya chutneys and followed by at least three types of dessert.
Afterwards, you nap.
Every family has their own favourite list of festive dishes and here are some of mine:
Papaya chutney
This is also known as 'plastic chutney' because the papaya turns transparent when cooked. Few restaurants make papaya chutney nowadays and every family has its own recipe. I use this one, and it has found great favour with friends and foes alike.
- 2 cups green papaya
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- A pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon of nigella seeds
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 8 raisins
- 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
Method: Peel the green papaya and cut into halves. Remove all the seeds. Thinly slice the papaya. Heat oil in a pan, add the nigella seeds. When the seeds start to splutter, add the papaya. Sprinkle a little salt and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add half a cup of water to the pan and let the papaya cook on a medium flame till it becomes soft. Add sugar; you'll see the liquid thickening. Then add the raisins and lime juice. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes and you're done. I prefer serving it cold.
Chingri paturi (prawns steamed in banana leaves)
- 2 cups medium sized prawns, with the heads removed
- 1 ½ cups of grated coconut
- 4 teaspoons mustard seeds
- 8 green chillies
- Salt and sugar to taste
- 1 tablespoon mustard oil
- 1 banana leaf
Method: Cut the banana leaves into 6 inch squares, wash and set aside. Marinate the prawn in the mustard oil, sugar and salt. Grind the coconut, mustard seeds and green chillies together. Add the ground coconut masala to the prawns. Divide equal quantities of the prawns onto each banana leaf. Fold into a parcel. Place the parcels in a steamer for no more than 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
Nolen gurer payesh (rice pudding flavoured with date palm jaggery)
This is well worth the effort.
- 4 cups full cream milk
- 1/4 cup small grained rice
- 1/4 cup jaggery – liquid or solid will do
- 3-4 crushed cloves
- 1 teaspoon ghee
Method: Boil the milk on a very low flame till it reduces to half its volume. This will take almost 30 minutes. Mix the rice grains with the ghee, so they're well-coated and set aside. Take some of the milk, about a small bowlful and mix it with the jaggery to help it dissolve. Now add the rice to the milk in the pan. Keep the burner on low heat till the rice is cooked through. Now pour the milk mixed with jaggery into the pan and simmer for a couple of minutes. Don't cook longer than that. Stir it through and garnish with the crushed cloves. I serve it at room temperature, but you can serve it hot or cold.
If cooking seems tedious or intimidating, check with your local Bengali restaurants for a special menu.

The Effects of Crooked Teeth Are More Serious Than Just Cosmetic
Biting the Inside of Your Cheek
If you frequently bite your inner cheeks or your tongue, your teeth may be out of alignment. Biting the delicate soft tissues of your mouth can lead to painful sores.
Discomfort when Chewing
Misalignment can cause pain and discomfort when you bite or chew. If your teeth do not meet properly, it can also put extra stress on your jaw and lead to headaches or other uncomfortable symptoms.
Breathing or Speech Problems
Crooked teeth can cause a lisp or other speech problems. You are also more likely to breathe through your mouth instead of your nose, which increase the risk of tooth decay, bad breath, and other oral health issues.

Season: Anytime. I like to make several batches of these sweets in November or early December. A dozen or so, wrapped in cellophane, are a charming gift. Needless to say, you don't need to stop at oranges: lemon and grapefruit peel work equally well, and you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate for dipping. The corn syrup is optional, but does prevent the sticks from becoming too hard. It is best to keep the candied sticks in an airtight container and only dip them in chocolate shortly before you want them.
- Yield
- makes about 100 sticks
- 4 or 5 large oranges
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup (optional)
- 7 ounces good dark chocolate
- Scrub the oranges, then remove the peel in quarters. To do this, cut through the peel with a sharp knife, going right around the orange, starting and finishing at the stem end, then repeat at a right angle to the first cut. Remove the peel, with the attached pith, from the fruit. Weigh out 9 ounces of peel and cut it into slices measuring about 1/4 by 2 inches.
- Put the orange peel slices into a large pan and cover with 8 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and return to the pan with 4 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved (it won't take long). Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 24 hours.
- Bring the pan to a boil again. Add the corn syrup, if using, and boil gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until all the liquid has evaporated and the orange sticks are coated with bubbling orange syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Using a pair of tongs (or your fingers), carefully remove the orange sticks and place on a wire rack with a tray underneath to catch the drips. Leave in a warm place for 24 hours, or place in a very low oven at approximately 140°F for 2 to 3 hours to dry.
- Break the chocolate into pieces, put into a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, and leave until melted. Remove from the heat. Dip one half of each orange stick in the melted chocolate and place on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper to dry.
- Before dipping, the sticks will keep well for 3 to 4 months. Once they have their chocolate coating, they are best eaten within 3 weeks.

Sinaitic Apologetics School
begins January 1, 2020 at 7:30 pm
Orientation is December 11, 2019 at 7:30 pm
We're glad you're here, please take some time to look around and read and listen to some of the study materials we have available. We only ask you do so with an open mind in a spirit of humility.
We offer Live Convocations on each weekly Sabbath (Saturday at 11:30 AM EST/EDT), New Moon, and Appointed Holydays, for more information click the Holy Day link to the left.
New Covenant Congregation of Israel – Tabernacle Elohim
The New Covenant Congregation of Israel Charlotte, Tabernacle Elohim, is a stand-alone independent Sinaitic Institution with no other affiliates. We are acknowledged Hebrews and spiritual Israel who practice the canonized scriptures of the Old and New Testament without adding or detracting from its tenets because of man made traditions or interpretations derived from the intellectual analysis of biblical canon and alternative books such as the Talmud, Koran, Kabala, Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha and Religious exegetical New Testament homilies (Deuteronomy 12:32 & Isaiah 8:20). We assert that salvation comes from the practice of ALL of YAH's laws, which are relevant to status, position and righteousness stated and expounded on in the Torah (the first five books of the bible) without selecting those which are and are not convenient based upon social disposition, employment status, marital situation, views on life, political climate and hurt and pain caused by life's woes. We conclude that aside from complete obedience and reverence to YAH through the Torah, that mankind has to purge iniquity through a demonstration of Sinaitic conviction, remorse and repentance through water purification (baptism) in the name of Yahshua the Messiah who is the grace of YAH given to propitiate iniquity to those who come to YAH through him (Hebrews 7:25 & Hebrews 10:19-24).
Enjoy the tour and offerings we have prepared for you and we look forward to partnering with you in worship, study, and prayer.

Romer, Wolfgang William (DNB00)
ROMER, WOLFGANG WILLIAM (1640–1713), military engineer, born at The Hague on 23 April 1640, was third son, in a family of six sons and five daughters, of Mathias Römer of Dusseldorf and Anna Duppengiezeer, who were married at Aix-la-Chapelle on 2 Jan. 1637. His father was ambassador to Holland from the elector palatine, who stood godfather to young Wolfgang at his baptism on 17 May 1640. Romer entered the service of the prince of Orange as a military engineer, and saw much service before 1688, when he accompanied Prince William to England. At that time he held the rank of colonel.
By royal warrant of 13 May 1690 he was appointed engineer in Ireland at 20s. a day, to commence from 1 March 1689. He took part in the campaigns of 1690 and 1691, and was employed on the fortifications of Cork, Longford, and Thurles. He remained in Ireland until 1692, when he was appointed by royal warrant of 7 July chief engineer of the artillery train fitted out at St. Helen's for the expedition against the coast of France. On 26 July he embarked with fourteen thousand troops in transports, and joined the fleet at Portland, when the expedition was abandoned. In 1693 he was chief engineer of the ordnance train of the expedition to the Mediterranean; he served under Lord Bellamont [see Coote, Richard], and embarked in the fleet under Delaval, Killigrew, and Rooke, to convoy the so-called Smyrna fleet. On 8 May 1694 he was directed by royal warrant to report on the defences of Guernsey, and to lay out any additional works which were urgent, with a special allowance of 20s. a day. A plan of Castle Cornet, drawn by Romer when on this duty, is in the British Museum.
At the beginning of 1697 Romer was ordered to New York, but objected to go on the proposed salary of 20s. per diem. The board of ordnance recommended that his warrant should be cancelled, and that he should be discharged from the king's service. The king was, however, well acquainted with his value, and although the board had suspended him in February, in August the suspension was removed, 'from the time of its being first laid on,' and Romer accompanied Lord Bellamont, the newly appointed governor, to New York as chief engineer and with pay of 30s. a day. Bellamont had so high an opinion of Romer that he was specially allowed to retain his services beyond the term arranged.
Romer made a plan of the Hudson River, New York, and the adjoining country. In 1700 he explored the territories of the five Indian nations confederated with the British, and made a map of his journey among them. These maps are in the British Museum. From 1701 to 1703 he was engaged in fortifying Boston harbour. He built on Castle Island a formidable work of defence, called Fort William, mounting one hundred guns. It was destroyed on 17 March 1776, when the British evacuated Boston. Many years afterwards a slate slab with a Latin inscription was found among the ruins, giving the dates when the work was commenced and finished, and stating that it was constructed by Romer, 'a military architect of the first rank.' Romer constructed defensive posts and forts in the Indian territories, and many of them were executed at his own expense, for which he was never reimbursed. He was a member of the council of New York province; his knowledge of the colony, and especially of the Indians, was invaluable both to Lord Bellamont and to Lord Cornbury, who succeeded to the government in 1702.
In 1703 Romer, who was suffering from 'a distemper not curable in those parts for want of experienced surgeons,' applied to return to England. The board of ordnance nevertheless ordered him to go to Barbados in the West Indies, and it was only on the intervention of the council of trade, who represented his eminent services, that on 14 Aug. 1704 he was ordered home so soon as he should be relieved. He remained in America until 1706. He completed the plans of Castle Island, Boston Bay, which are now in the British Museum. On his homeward voyage he was captured by the French and carried to St. Malo, where he was liberated on parole. The usual offer of twenty seamen in exchange for a colonel was refused by the French commissioner of sick and wounded, and Romer returned to England to negotiate for an exchange. The board of ordnance suggested that the French might accept the Marquis de Levy, taken in the Salisbury, or Chevalier Nangis.
In September 1707 Romer visited Düsseldorf, carrying a letter of recommendation from the queen to the elector palatine. In 1708, his exchange having been effected, he was employed in designing defences for Portsmouth, which were submitted to the board of ordnance in the following year, and in the construction of Blockhouse Fort at the entrance of Portsmouth Harbour. He continued in charge of the Portsmouth defences, occasionally visiting other fortified towns, such as Harwich, which he reported on in 1710, and places in Flanders, until his death on 15 March 1713. He was buried at Düsseldorf, where he had some property.
A miniature of him, in uniform, done in middle age, is in possession of the family.
His son, John Lambertus Romer (1680–1754?), born in 1680, served in the train of artillery in Flanders, Spain, and on several expeditions, and in 1708 was ensign in Brigadier Rooke's regiment. On 28 Aug. of that year he was appointed by royal warrant assistant engineer to his father at Portsmouth, and was employed on works for protecting the shore near Blockhouse from the sea. In August 1710 he went to Ireland to settle his affairs. On 4 April 1713 he was promoted to be lieutenant in the 4th foot. In 1715 he was placed on half-pay from his regiment, and on 20 April appointed engineer at Sheerness, his district comprising the defences of the Thames and Medway. He was employed at Portsmouth at the end of 1716, but returned to Sheerness on 7 April of the following year. At the end of July 1719 he joined the expedition to Vigo, under Lord Cobham, and took part in the capture of the citadel, which surrendered on 10 Oct. On his return home he was appointed engineer in charge of the northern district and Scotland, and arrived in Edinburgh on 19 March 1720. In Scotland he had under his charge the erection of barracks, proposed by Field-marshal Wade, at Inversnaid, Ruthven, Bernera, and Killiwhinen. He had also important defence work at Forts Augustus, William, and George. On 24 Sept. 1722 he was promoted engineer-in-ordinary, and on 30 Oct. he went to the office of the board of ordnance in London, whence he carried out the administration of the Scottish and northern engineer districts for many years. He was promoted to be sub-director of engineers on 1 April 1730, captain-lieutenant on 22 Dec. 1738, and captain in the 4th foot (Barrell's regiment) on 19 Jan. 1739. In 1742 he became director of engineers. During 1745 and 1746 he served under the Duke of Cumberland in the suppression of the Jacobite rebellion, and was wounded at Culloden, 16 April 1746. He retired from the service in 1751. The date of his death is not given, but it is stated that he was buried in St. Margaret's, Westminster. He married, in 1711, Mary Hammond, by whom he had a son John (1713–1775), many of whose descendants entered the army and distinguished themselves in active service.
Among plans drawn by John Lambertus Romer (in the British Museum) may be mentioned Fort Augustus, Scotland, and the fortifications of Portsmouth in 1725. Two miniatures of him, in uniform, at about the ages of twenty and forty-five years, are in the possession of his descendant, the Hon. Mrs. Wynn of Rûg Corven, Merionethshire, younger daughter of Colonel Robert William Romer of Brynceanlyn, Merionethshire (d. 1889), great-great-grandson of John Lambertus Romer.[War Office Records, Royal Engineers' Records; Cal.

Replacing Right Fuel Tank Sender (Sensor)
I have been getting random low fuel warnings when the tank is far from empty. I read that if you go into the hidden menu and look at the ADC values and see that a sensor is higher than 450 ohms then that sensor is bad. Then sensors should have fairly close readings on the left and right if working correctly. I troubleshooted my bad sensor to be the right side (passenger). So I ordered a sensor from thebmwstore for $75.82 and replaced it myself. These are the steps I took:
1) run the fuel almost empty.
2) unplugged negative battery cable.
3) removed back seat. Just pull up on the seat firmly.
4) remove the rubber cover over the fuel tank on the side you are replacing.
5) remove the round rubber plug underneath the first layer rubber pad.
6) remove the (4) 10mm nuts on the round metal plate over the fuel pump and remove the plate.
7) unplug electric connector
8) remove black fuel line connector gently by squeezing side tabs. Have paper towels to absorb any gasoline.
9) remove the blue fuel line by squeezing the connector sides. Remove it just enough to bleed off pressure. Some gasoline will come out so have paper towels around it. I had to do this about 7-8 times soaking up the gasoline until the pressure was released.
10) have a helper hold down the white tab facing the front of the car with a large screwdriver so the fuel pump does not turn.
11) use another large flat screwdriver and a rubber mallet to unscrew the metal ring holding the fuel pump in the tank. Hit it counterclockwise.
12) once the metal ring is loose remove it. Then lift the top of the fuel pump off and place to the side still connected.
13) reach into the tank and pull up on the fuel sender and unplug from the fuel pump. There are two tabs on either side of it that you just squeeze and pull upward.
14) replace with new fuel sender (sensor). It has a slot that it snaps down into that only goes one direction. Pay attention to what it looked like before you removed it.
15) complete reassembly in reverse.
This entire process took about 45 minutes with most of the time taken to soak up the fuel coming out of the fuel lines when I pulled them off the fuel pump. Again I just pulled up on them a little a time and they leaked a little. I then soaked the gas up with paper towels. Don't just pull off the fuel line all at once because they are under pressure. Be very careful at this step and have no open flames or cigarettes around. Perform this at your own risk. Obviously you are working with gasoline and can kill yourself if you are not careful.
This was an easy repair overall and the same procedure would apply if replacing your fuel pump. This is much better than dropping an entire gas tank off the vehicle like I had to do recently on my Lincoln Navigator just to replace the pump. I took some pictures too. I hope this helps somebody.
How do you do this if the tank is full of gas. Recently filled up the car and then the pump went out on me.
'14 M5, '11 550i xdrive, '17 Escalade
'93 Toyota Supra (8.3 seconds @ 171 mph quarter mile).
Ohms readings.
Hi my tank is probably over 3/4 full when full only shows 3/4 full.
My ohms readings are as follows:-
Left:- 295.0
Right:- 800.3
Does this mean the right sensors faulty?

The Shenhua coal-to-liquid project discharges creamy, white sewage directly into streams. In March 2003, the farmers and herders of Haole Baoji in Inner Mongolia began to witness the systemic destruction of their grasslands due to groundwater extraction by the Shenhua Corporation. Since then, locals have grown increasingly concerned about the project's effect on their livelihoods and local environment.

Glenn Beck may play a conservative on TV, though he's being anything but in his risky post-Fox News venture.
The divisive talk show host announced Tuesday that he's starting his own pay Internet streaming channel – kind of a Netflix for Beck fans. But will viewers pay up to $10 a month for their GBTV (network motto: The Truth Lives Here)?
The move will be a big test of whether the Web-driven on-demand thirst for music, movies and entertainment TV programs extends to political commentary. The subscriber-based streaming scheme also could show whether Beck's tear-laden brand of semi-demagoguery packs enduring power – or whether the end of his reign of error is coming.
Whatever you think of Beck's chalkboard antics and his reactionary rhetoric – which has included calling President Obama a racist – it would be wise to resist any knee-jerk inclination to bet against him.
He became a household name soon into his 2 ½-year stint at Fox News – even if his name is cursed in some homes and praised in others. The timing of his new undertaking – Beck's two-hour Web show starts Sept. 12, just as the endless presidential campaign begins in earnest – certainly works in his favor.
Ease of access is probably more important than the politics, though the success of Netflix streaming (now the biggest driver of U.S. Internet traffic) suggests large swaths of the public are comfortable with the technology. But will people pay extra for what they already were buying on cable?
The territory is largely uncharted, but it's worth looking at major moves by bigger names in talk: Howard Stern drew millions to pay radio. But not even Oprah Winfrey went the pay route for her OWN channel, which on basic cable.
While he's raking in the money, Stern's audience isn't as big as it was before he left terrestrial radio in 2005, and neither is his impact on the popular culture. It's too soon to judge OWN based on the lackluster ratings posted since the channel's January debut – especially since Winfrey's involvement is sure to increase with the recent end of her daytime talk show.
Stern and Winfrey's respective stints as media powerhouses are measured in decades, while Beck's Fox-buoyed prominence dates to the early Obama Administration. Stern and Winfrey are ultimately entertainers, while Beck rests uneasily somewhere between pundit and showman.
Beck's ratings are down in recent months, though his program still trounces the other cable news offerings in his timeslot. His "Restoring Honor" rally last summer didn't exactly change the world, and revolts by some advertisers helped make him expendable at Fox News, which he'll bid goodbye on June 30th.
Perhaps Beck is wise to strike out on his own, so that he's not beholden to corporate bosses or advertisers. While he told The New York Times his channel will include scripted fare with general appeal, expect him to amp up the inflammatory rhetoric early on as he grabs for attention – and paying customers.
Still, it seems unlikely those who tuned into Beck's Fox program just to be outraged will now cough up cash for the privilege ($5 a month just for his show, $10 for the network). Beck's future rests largely on whether fans will literally buy his shtick.

New Zealand may be on the other side of the world, but its cuisine is just on the other side of the river in Arlington. Don't miss the lamb and the tasty layers of the meringue-y Pavlova.New Zealand may be on the other side of the world, but its cuisine is just on the other side of the river in Arlington. Cassatt's Kiwi Café came about after owner Art Hauptman traveled to New Zealand for business. Not only did he fall in love with the food (lamb is the specialty both there and at Cassatt's), but he also developed a crush on the country's coffee. "The coffee in New Zealand is wonderful," he said, between sips of what's known as a "flat white," a latte-like beverage. It's the perfect after-dinner drink (after you've downed a few glasses of wine), especially when accompanied by New Zealand's national dessert, the Pavlova. One bite in and we're pretty sure it should be the national dessert everywhere (sorry, apple pie, you don't offer enough airy layers of meringue for our tastes). But before dessert, make sure to get dinner. The Lamb Leg Steak is phenomenal. Salivate over it: it's lamb served with Marsala and fig sauce, and accompanied with orzo, veggies and more.

In civil lawsuits, people frequently have their depositions taken. A deposition is a question and answer session under oath between a witness and at least one attorney. When the witness is testifying on behalf of one party, either the plaintiff or the defendant, Divorce Attorney Near Me in Rosebank the opposing party's attorney will do most of the questioning. Usually, the lawyers for all parties are in the room, although not all of the attorneys present choose to ask questions. There is usually a court reporter present taking down what everyone says on a stenotype machine. There are many reasons for lawyers to take legal depositions.
Here are just a few. Rules The most prominent reason someone has to give a deposition is because a lawyer is not allowed to simply call up a witness for the other side and start asking questions. In fact, I Need To Find A Lawyer they are not allowed to speak to them about the case when that person has been designated as a witness for another party. Instead, it must be done in a formal setting. The witness is usually subpoenaed and the lawyer that has designated that person as a witness will usually be present.Information When an attorney believes someone has information that will lead to discoverable evidence in a civil case, they are allowed to take their deposition.
The witness is required by law to cooperate and answer fully and honestly any of the proper questions asked by the lawyers. Oftentimes, the lawyer may not know all of the important facts of the case. There may be people, objective third parties, who witnessed a car accident or that have factual information that is crucial to the case. Learning what they know about it may shed light on the case before it goes to court. This prevents one side from springing surprises on the other during trial.Intimidation On rare occasions, an attorney will take the deposition of a witness for the other side to intimidate or make the person nervous.
Avoiding Scams During the Loss of a Loved One
This is more common in domestic dispute matters, such as child custody or divorce cases. It also happens more often to the plaintiff, Land Lawyers Near Me the party bringing the lawsuit. This is sometimes done to make sure the witness knows the lawyer means business. Playing hardball in a deposition is what happens when the attorney is purposefully trying to make the witness uncomfortable. This may be done to make sure they tell the truth and to find out if the person will drop the case, rather than have to go through similar questioning in court, as well if the case goes to trial.
Divorce Attorney Near Me in Rosebank ?
Litigation means a trial, right? So what does it matter if you hire a litigation attorney or a trial attorney? Can't they both perform the same functions? Not necessarily, which is why it's important to do your research before you hire an attorney to help you with a litigation lawsuit.Litigation AttorneysFirst of all, litigation does not automatically mean a trial is going to happen. The vast majority of the time, lawsuits are settled out of court without ever going to a jury. This is due to the work of the litigation attorney or litigator.Litigation attorneys handle all of the work that happens outside a courtroom. They file lawsuits, gather evidence, conduct legal research, meet with the client, file and argue motions and defend their clients. This is all done long before a lawsuit even gets close to going to a judge and jury. Litigators may even attempt mediation to achieve an out of court settlement but if a case looks like it is going to go to court, these lawyers can take depositions and prepare clients and their witnesses.Although there are differences between the two attorneys, those differences don't make one better than the other. They each serve different functions and perform different roles. Working with both types will give you the best of both worlds: an expert lawyer familiar with the ins and outs of your case and an expert presenter who can best argue your position in court if it gets that far. Many law firms have both litigators and lawyers on staff, giving you access to both types of specialists under one roof.If you prefer to have a single lawyer represent you through the entire process, be sure to ask about his or her experience in court and specifically if it has included cases covering the same legal subjects as yours. Then you'll need to decide if the attorney has the experience you need to carry your case through to the end or if you're better off starting out with a litigator and hiring a trial lawyer if and when your case gets to the courtroom.

Disease Definition:Pleurisy, also called pleuritis, is an inflammation of the pleura, which is the moist, double-layered membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the rib cage. The condition can make breathing extremely painful. Sometimes it is associated with another condition called pleural effusion, in which excess fluid fills the area between the membrane's layers.
