Hi Team Titleist,
Recently I've just fitting my SM4 wedges (52 and 56). I've learned that if you strengthening the loft or open the clubface, lie angle will be flatten and the bounce will be reduce. Its the opposite if you weaken or close the face angle. I also know that if I bend the lie angle it is not going to change the loft and face angle because its different axis.
My question is if I bend the lie angle by 1 or 2 degrees flat or upright, is it going to affect the bounce? (loft and face angle remains the same)
Thank you,
Hi Kris,
A change of lie angle will not reduce or add to the effective bounce on your wedges.
Strengthening your loft i.e 56 > 55 degrees will decrease bounce and weakening your loft i.e 56 > 57 degrees will add bounce.
Thanks for the query,
Thank you for the info Gene

MONDAY, March 10, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Women who drink before they conceive or during the first three months of pregnancy might be at increased risk of having a premature or small baby, new research finds.
The study included more than 1,200 pregnant women in the United Kingdom who provided information about their drinking habits shortly before and during pregnancy.
The U.K. Department of Health, like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recommends that pregnant women and those trying to conceive should not drink any alcohol. If they do, they should limit alcohol to no more than one or two units a week, according to the U.K. guidelines.
Alcoholic content varies. In general, though, one large glass of wine can contain more than three units of alcohol -- more than the upper weekly limit.
The University of Leeds researchers found that 53 percent of the women drank more than the recommended maximum of two weekly units of alcohol per week during the first three months of pregnancy. Nearly 40 percent drank more than 10 units a week just prior to conceiving.
Those who drank more than two units a week were more likely to be white, older, have higher levels of education and live in richer neighborhoods, the researchers said.
About 13 percent of the babies born to the women in the study were underweight, 4.4 percent were smaller than normal and 4.3 percent were born prematurely. Women who drank more than two units of alcohol a week during the first three months of pregnancy were twice as likely to have a premature or small baby as those who did not drink, the study found.
But even women who drank less than two units a week during the first three months of pregnancy were more likely to have a premature baby than those who did not drink, the researchers said.
Women who drank just before they conceived were also more likely to have babies that were smaller than normal, according to the study, which was published online recently in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
The findings show that drinking during the first three months of pregnancy has the greatest impact on babies, the researchers said. The study also highlighted the need to emphasize to women that they shouldn't drink just before or during pregnancy.
Although the study showed an association between alcohol consumption and premature birth, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

Aspen Alps
Aspen Alps' time modeling was fast and over quickly. She debuted in May '95 V-mag and was 22 years-old at the time. Aspen lived in Kansas City, Missouri and was a nude exotic dancer in a club called the Million Dollar Fantasy Ranch in Missouri. Aspen's hobby was horseback riding so it could be safe to say that she was good in the saddle. Back in 1995, Aspen told the editor of V-mag, "I can't climax when a man is pumping my tits but my breasts are really sensitive and I love pleasing men. One thing that really gets men off is fucking my tits. I can't tell you how many guys at the club have told me that they wanted to fuck my tits. I think guys turn into Mr. Hyde when they're at a titty bar. If his dick is big enough, I like to suck it as it slides between my cleavage and the tip comes through up to my face." Sadly, Aspen vanished off the boob radar, leaving all of us wanting more and never getting it, just part of the passing boob parade on Mammary Lane.

@Hidendragon Man, I'd love to see 3k raw epic reds on my server. Ours are 9k-10k. And the supply is atrociously low. I rarely see more than a couple at a time. I can't justify filling 17 slots with epic gems on my heroic raiding toon either. :/ They aren't even available in the quantity I require. I have 2 epic gems equipped right now, but both were ones I lucked out and got myself.
Of course, the colors I don't need I can barely sell. Cuts go lower than the raw ones and for drastically lower prices. I'd complain more about my JC's wasted potential, but inferno rubies and some of the other cuts are still running at great prices.

Poem vs Poetry
* The difference between poem and poetry:
* Poetry is a literary form, whereas a poem is a written piece of work.
* Poetry is an art form, whereas a poem is a composed work.
The two words poem and poetry are interchangeably used although there is a difference in their inner meanings. Their connotations do differ to some extent. A poem is a piece of literary work. Poetry is an art form.
In short it can be said that poetry is one of the forms of fine arts. A poem is the fundamental unit of poetry. It can thus be said that poetry is made of poems. In other words you can say that poems constitute the art form of poetry.
A poet is one who composes poems and creates poetry in the process. He is just like a potter who is adept in making pots and creating the art form of pottery in the process. He alone can be called a poet who creates poetry frequently. He who composes poems occasionally cannot be called a poet but can be called a versifier.
Poetry is the result of the delineation of concepts and feelings by means of the use of the various elements of a language. Sounds and rhythms of words constitute the elements of language.
Poetry is characterized by what is called prosody. Prosody is the science of patterns of rhythms. Since rhythms form the basis of poetry, it is often compared to music. This is because of the fact that music too is qualified by the presence of rhythms.
The word poem is often used in the sense of an individual piece of work. Poetry is a collected work. In other words it is a collective term used to indicate many pieces of individual poems. Poetry is a literary form whereas a poem is a written piece of work.

As part of the Zenani Mandela campaign, the family of Nelson Mandela together with the Make Roads Safe campaign and the Road Safety Fund have announced the 'Long Short Walk' calling for protection for pedestrians on the roads around the world.
The Long Short Walk was announced during a meeting of the Commission for Global Road Safety in London on 22 November. The advocacy initiative will highlight the need to prioritise safe walking in support of the 2nd UN Global Road Safety Week.
Communities, schools, NGOs and activists around the world are invited to join the Long Short Walk, in a common call for global action to save lives. Schools and NGOs have already taken part in the first Long Short Walks in Kenya and Tanzania. Corporate donors are also invited to get involved, by supporting activities for the UN Global Road Safety Week, which has a focus on pedestrian safety, and by backing implementation projects to make roads safer for pedestrians and particularly children.
To join the Long Short Walk people are being encouraged to share and upload photos and short videos of their daily walk to work or school, a favourite walk or to highlight a road that needs safety improvements. Supporters can also download 'I'm Walking For…' signboards to explain what – or who – they are walking on behalf of. These 'Short Walks' from around the world will then be combined to form a 'Long Short Walk' that will during UN Global Road Safety Week on 6-12 May 2013. The campaign will be urging governments around the world to include road safety in the new Sustainable Development Goals expected to come into force from 2015.
On behalf of the Zenani campaign, Zindzi Mandela said:
"We are not doing enough to protect the most vulnerable. All around the world every single day, pedestrians are being killed and injured on the roads. Many of them are children who are simply trying to get to school. We are calling for action to save lives. Leading up to UN Global Road Safety Week, let's all join the Long Short Walk. Together let's help reach the goal of safer roads for all."
Michelle Yeoh, Make Roads Safe Global Ambassador said: "Far too many children are becoming casualties just trying to walk to school. This is simply not acceptable. Safe walking should be a right for all. Let's join the UN in making pedestrian safety a priority for Global Road Safety Week. We can and we must do far more. With the Long Short Walk we're urging global action, calling for a Sustainable Development Goal to make our roads safer for everyone."
Joining the Zenani campaign are the first groups who have already taken part in the Long Short Walk. They include children from a neighbourhood in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where a number of youngsters have been injured by vehicles on nearby roads. With support from the Road Safety Fund, the NGO Amend is working with local schools on a programme to identify and implement infrastructure improvements and raise awareness amongst both pedestrians and drivers, as well as the local authorities, for the need to reduce speeds and provide safer streets. The Road Safety Fund is seeking additional donors willing to invest in these life-saving programmes, implemented by partners including Amend, Safe Kids Worldwide, the Global Road Safety Partnership and iRAP.
UN Global Road Safety week will be held from 6-12 May 2013 worldwide. It aims to campaign on and draw attention to the need for pedestrian safety, to generate action on life saving measures needed to protect pedestrians and to help achieve the goal of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety to save 5 million lives by 2020.

This is actually kind of fun, I haven't done Trance in a while.. and I'm mixing it with a Rose song! I've remixed "Rose At Midnight" into a trance song, it actually turned out better than I thought... it's soft trance too, so you can just totally mellow out while listening to this XD
I've heard ppl tell me my last song was way too short, soo.. here's an almost 6 minute song XD. I hope you like this little experiment!
PS: Thanks to ParagonX9 for the name suggestion (I had no idea Snapdragon was a Rose/Flower?!) and helping me with some pitch issues.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars April 15, 2009
very relaxing
this is indeed a song to mellow out on, iwas lying in my bed while listening, closing my eyes and bobbing my head along with the music, pretty sweet
Thank you!
I'm happy the mellowing seems to work out XD
Rated 5 / 5 stars April 15, 2009
Beautifully done, and inspiring. This was indeed a song worthy of waking up to. very amazing remix you made it actually sounds very much like a song onto itself. It also seems to have that slight video game tune happening in it. Truly one of the best songs you have created to date.
Thank you! I suppose it could work without have mentioning rose at midnight, but in my opinion at least the melody from it really makes it what it is. :)
Thanks for the kind words and review!
Rated 5 / 5 stars April 15, 2009
And not just the title either, i like the song, its a great calm down song definatly a rival of some of the greatest bands out there, what i think you would be good at is possibly remixings Life Returns
You'll have to thank Paragon for the title. XD
And thanks, I appreciate it. :)

A new outrageous comedy, "College" is the story of three high school seniors (Drake Bell, Andrew Caldwell and Kevin Covais) who visit a local college campus as prospective freshman anticipating the best weekend of their lives. Once there, the rowdiest fraternity on campus (featuring Nick Zano, Gary Owen and Zach Cregger) decides to recruit the boys as pledges, subjecting them to endless humiliations, in return for granting them access to the no-holds-barred college party scene. But once the boys catch the eye of some of the older sorority girls (Haley Bennett, Camille Mana and Natalie Walker), the threatened Frat-boys increase the pre-frosh humiliation and blackmail them by threatening to expose their age. The boys decide to fight back, retaliating with a major revenge scheme that lands them on top

American Idol alums Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo married Saturday in Los Angeles, People reports.
When author Jennifer Weiner set out to cast ABC Family's State of Georgia, the first show she had created, she was looking for a girl who was big in every way. She says she hit the jackpot with Raven-Symoné, but had to re-jigger the character after Raven, who was the plus-sized female with a knack for physical comedy she was looking for, lost 30 pounds.
Question: What do you think about the new season of Rock Star? I was surprised how good the first week was. Last season it took the singers a few weeks to start sounding good, but this season it seems like just about every one of them has the potential to win, especially some of the very talented female singers. I'm glad I've finally been able to find some quality summer viewing not on cable!
Answer: And how refreshing that they spared us those insipid and humiliating audition episodes by jumping right into the competition. I agree: The first week's performances, especially from the women, blew me away. Unlike American Idol, which props up icky losers like Kevin Covais way past his expiration date, the cast of Rock Star all seem to deserve to be there. The eliminations are going to be excruciating a little further down the line, because these people almost all have star potential. Because I'm on the West Coast for the next few weeks, covering the TCA Press Tour and focusing on the

Big Brother 15 (US)
This was one of the hardest scenes i've ever watched on tv, it's was heartbreaking as fuck to watch two black people resort to tears because they didn't want to give into the stereotype that follows when a black person gets upset.
Watching her cry and talk about how she'd had enough of white housemates taunt her, call her "Sheniqua" and tell her that she was about to "get black" and flip her mattress off of the box-spring, throw her belongings to the ground, and three of them at the same time bully her until she almost got to the point of getting violent because she'd had enough and felt so threatened. A black man who'd grown up in the south knew better than to leave her in that situation he had to physically pick her up and take her out of the room.
Had to be carried to the Have Not room, a room known basically as the punishment room. A room that most of this season has been dominated by POC and minorities that the rest of the house deemed "unworthy" or just didn't like to be calmed down. He had to talk her down, telling her that if there was one person in the house he was going out protecting it would be her, his fellow black woman. He'd gladly throw away money to protect her and make sure no one did something to her. He told her he'd give up a bed so she could sleep in it and not have to worry about those girls. She'd said she was tired of this behavior and the comments and why should they have to back down, that they should retaliate, that they shouldn't be weak.
She was Malcolm X in the situations while he was preaching to her like Martin Luther King Jr.
He said they had to act better than them because all eyes were on them, they had to stay calm. And thats when she broke down and cried and sobbed in his arms, while he was barely able to control his anger towards that side of the house for doing that to her. They both sat their in tears, praying to God to give them the strength to get through the rest of this competition without blowing up.
They had to decide to back down against the enemy instead of give them a taste of their own medicine. They decided to be better than that situation, I applaud them for being so strong.
It was a hard scene to watch and go through as a woman of color. It was a hard fucking scene.
I don't watch this show, but I heard about most of this on the radio. A bunch of WHITE radio hosts were laughing and joking about how they were waiting for her to blow up and rooting for it. They knew it was only a matter of time and it would be hilarious.
We're just tapdancing watermelon-lovers to most White folks. Even & especially the ones that will claim to be "not racist." If you like seeing a Black woman being emotionally tortured to the point of tears and look forward to the day she jeopardizes her own future by lashing out at a couple of White girls that will be fine no matter how much they abuse her:
You're thinking like a racist.

Whip Up a Fast, Healthy Dinner
Try these super-quick suppertime solutions
By Leanna Skarnulis
Reviewed By Charlotte Grayson, MD
Yikes! You've just looked at the clock and realized that dinnertime is fast approaching. You're already exhausted from the day's labors, and you still have to walk the dog, pick up the kids from dance class, finish that report due first thing tomorrow... You'd love to sit down to a healthy, home-cooked meal, but your stomach is growling and that take-out pizza menu is looking very tempting.
But wait just a minute. Before the dinnertime crunch convinces you to blow off your dietary resolve, wrap your mind around an important concept: "Healthy" doesn't have to mean cooking from scratch, and "quick" doesn't have to mean scarfing down artery-clogging fast food.
Whether you're a seasoned cook or a kitchen-phobe who doesn't own a cookbook, you can make healthy, quick dinners at home. Two dietitians, who balance career and nutrition demands themselves, are on your side. Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD, lives in Reading, Mass., has three children aged 4 to 7, and is the author of several books on nutrition including Healthy Foods, Healthy Kids. Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD, lives in Atlanta and is an American Dietetic Association spokeswoman as well as a WebMD Weight Loss Clinic dietitian.
A Healthy Grocery List
Ward and Zelman agree that healthy, quick, and homemade dinners start with having the right ingredients on hand. Keep these items in your pantry, refrigerator, or freezer:
The Chicken and the Egg
Ward and Zelman are big fans of ready-to-eat rotisserie chickens, found in almost any grocery store. "Most of the fat has dripped off it," says Ward, "although I do pull off the skin."
"I rely a lot on rotisserie chickens," says Zelman. "One night I'll have it with a baked potato and salad. The next night, I'll pick it off the bone and make a pasta dish. I'll throw a handful of frozen peas and canned, diced tomatoes into the pasta sauce. Or I might use the leftover chicken to make a Caesar salad."
Zelman says she always keeps a few packages of pre-cooked grilled chicken strips in her freezer. "They're expensive, but fast. I stock up when they're on sale. It's a quick defrost."
Closely related to chicken is the egg, another favorite of dietitians. Omelets are a great catchall for leftovers like vegetables, chicken, and salsa, but even plain versions offer good nutrition. "If you've got eggs and low-fat cheese and milk, you have a meal," says Zelman. "Maybe serve it with some canned fruit."
"I love Weight Watchers and Lean Cuisine frozen dinners," says Zelman. "I'll add vegetables to a macaroni and cheese entree, and I always add a side salad or roll because often it's not enough to eat." She advises reading the nutrition labels: "I aim for 300 or fewer calories."
"You can have that take-out...as long as you exercise a little restraint."
She has other ways of beefing up the nutrients in prepared foods, such as adding extra vegetables to canned soup and extra beans to canned chili. And she dresses up plain salad greens with fruit and small amounts of shredded cheese and nuts.
Ward likes the Near East packaged mixes, such as tabouli and couscous. "People think of them as side dishes, but I turn them into a meal by adding chopped, leftover chicken and a lot of tomatoes and serving them on a bed of greens," she says.
Cereal is a dinner staple for many singles, and it's perfectly healthy, as long as you watch the sugar and fat content and use low-fat milk. "Breakfast cereal and fruit and skim milk, there's nothing wrong with that," says Zelman.

Carolyn, My husband and I have hosted "Game nights" on some Friday nights. I prefer opening our home to our neighbors in an effort to get to know them rather than going to a restaurant. We ask our neighbors to bring an appetizer, we provide the drinks and games. We have so much fun. Also, like you I wave to my neighbors when driving and have found they wave back. Also when getting the mail or newspaper I take a minute or two to say hello and catch up if time allows. Sometimes on Friday mornings ( I work part time) I ask some of the other wives & mothers to come over for coffee and usually some time of sweet like a coffee cake. We just sit and catch up with each other & neighborhood happenings. I don't have children but some of the neighbors have an alternative Halloween, and they provide a "hay ride" through the neighborhood, which I think is a great idea but it builds memories for the kids.
I survived the painting and assembling. So far. I'm getting more settled in my new home, but there's still a fair bit to do. Thanks for enduring the silence! Some of you asked me to expand on what I said earlier about being purposeful in creating a home for hospitality and outreach. I am glad t...

Hi. This is my first day blogging and I'd like to know what you're interested in. I'm not new to business reporting, but a Web blog is not something I would have pictured for myself — at least not in this lifetime. You never know.
My tentative plan is to update you on important local biz developments. I also won't ignore big national news if I think you may not be aware of something.
I'm hoping to offer some perspective and context for understanding the news.
And I'll try to make this a spot that you'll want to check regularly. So please let me know what you care about.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Henry,
I am interested in knowing how local businesses are dealing with the changes in the economy. A list of businesses that are downsizing, and even hiring. I , also, want to know which local businesses are giving back to the community or celebrating the loyalty of its customers. I think that this will be a great informative blog.

I think it would be interesting to have a weekly or monthly profile of a small/medium sized local business.

i also would like to get to know more about local companies that are big in their community, hire locally (i.e. dont send jobs out to india), and are good companies. basically, i would like to know who to support.

Sizing Up Surgery
Thousands of Americans face surgery each year, often with fear and doubts about whether the right step is being taken. And not knowing what's involved may mean putting yourself through as much grief as the procedure intends to do away with. Whether you are undergoing surgery for the first time or the tenth, understanding why you need it, the risks involved, available alternative treatments, and the aftereffects will help you make the right decisions and deal effectively with the outcome.
The Value of a Second Opinion -- Is Surgery Necessary?
The practice of medicine is not an exact science and, consequently, physicians do not always agree. This does not mean they are incompetent or unconcerned about their patients' well-being. It simply means there can be differences of opinion about the best way to treat a medical condition. A second opinion is a time-honored practice in the medical profession that public health authorities believe better enables people to weigh the benefits and risks of surgery against possible alternatives to surgery.
In the case of a middle-aged patient with gallstones, for example, Betsy Ballard, M.D., a surgeon in Silver Spring, MD, explains that the initial recommendation for surgery might be made based on the premise that someone that age would not be satisfied with spending remaining years on the strict diet needed to manage the disease. There also might be the danger of a recurrence or complications, such as pancreatitis, if the dietary restrictions did not successfully treat the disease. A second opinion, however, might reveal that the patient for whom surgery poses a risk or who refuses surgery would be a candidate for medicines or other procedures that can dissolve gallstones. In either case, a second opinion helps the patient make an informed decision about the best treatment for his or her condition.
Arno Albert Roscher, M.D., a clinical professor of pathology who specializes in diagnosing cancer at the Granada Hills Community Hospital in California, says that, like patients, health professionals often find it necessary to seek additional viewpoints as well. For example, some forms of cancer pose controversy for even the most skilled professionals in the field.
"A certified pathologist can generally identify 85 percent of regular tumors," Roscher says, "but if there is a glandular difference, tumors are difficult to diagnose and often require second and sometimes third opinions." He adds that even with the small number of unrecognizable tissue growths, specialists need the availability of additional resources to confirm or dispute their findings and recommendations, such as through the California Tumor Tissue Registry, a network of qualified professionals that was created for such specialized second opinions.
There are, however, instances when emergency surgery is necessary in order to sustain life, such as when the diagnosis of acute appendicitis is firmly made. In this case, surgery must be done quickly and efficiently, and would not warrant a second opinion.

A clip from "My Father, the Genius"
Lucia Small's film about her father was not exactly what he had in mindOctober 4th, 2007

|Larry Fowke
Growing Super Trees
CellFor, a U of S spinoff company based on the work of Stephen Attree under the supervision of biologist Larry Fowke, is ramping up to produce enough seed to grow 200 million trees of its high-performing conifer varieties by 2010.
Plant Gene Discovery
Lawrence Gusta, Albert Robertson, and Guohai Wu discovered Rob-5, a stress-tolerance gene that increases plant vigor and seed yield and shortens time to maturity. Rob-5 has been licensed to BASF, one of the world�s leading agricultural products companies.
Reducing Seed Costs
Biologist Vipen Sawhney has developed the first photoperiod-sensitive male sterile tomato, which can significantly reduce the cost of hybrid seed production. The technology has been licensed to an Italian seed company.
Better Biodiesel
Martin Reaney and Dushmanthi Jayasinghe have developed a better way to make biodiesel that produces fuel together with the valuable byproducts glycerol and lithium grease. The patentpending technology has attracted interest from biodiesel producers.
|Robert Kerrich
Proving Earth�s
Geologist Robert Kerrich provided the first clear evidence that the Earth�s ancient oceanic and continental crust avalanched 3,000 kilometres to the Earth�s core and returned to the surface as volcanoes. He also developed what is now widely regarded as the standard model of how gold deposits are formed. His research advances mining industry efforts to explore more effectively for precious mineral resources such as gold.
Maintaining Healthy Rivers
Unique-in-Canada, the new U of S Aquatic Toxicology Research Facility will provide the tools to detect and evaluate toxic pollution in our lakes and rivers, providing crucial information for policy regulation and environmental remediation.
Diagnose Disease
U of S spinoff Adnavance Technologies is developing biosensors for diagnosing disease, DNA-based vaccines, and a method for producing hydrogen for fuel cells. The technologies are based on metalcontaining M-DNA discovered by Jeremy Lee and Palok Aich.

Writing Talk
By Alex Hamilton
Paperback (other formats)
Our price: £7.96
You save: £1.99
In stock, usually despatched within 24 hours.
Full description
In his long career in literary journalism, Alex Hamilton has probably met and talked in depth to more of our great writers than anyone else, from the most critically acclaimed to the most hard-nosed bestsellers, from novelists to cartoonists, and across every genre.
This selection from a life's work gives us a stimulating and rare insight into the minds and lives of some of the most fascinating creators of our modern culture. It's a book that contains many surprises in the revelations given by some of the authors about their struggles and victories, the serious or humorous commitments made by them, and their addiction to the kind of fiction they like to write. The reader will soon realise that no two of these eighty-five featured authors – such as Kurt Vonnegut, Angela Carter, Stephen King, Daphne du Maurier, Ian McEwan, Jorge Luis Borges, Graham Greene or Margaret Atwood – are alike.
Splendidly informative and serious, Writing Talk is also often very funny: a book to dip into as the mood takes, or to dive into hungrily. It will appeal to those with a passion for books and for the people who have written them.

After my post last week on the No Limits branding campaign for Houston, the Urbanophile weighed in with his more negative opinion. While I agree it's a bit generic, that's all it needs to be.

What makes this campaign different from previous ones is that its core mission is different: instead of the usual GHCVB campaign trying to attract tourists, this one is designed to convince people, especially young Tory Gattishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11321606.post-60625228646372075612014-06-08T20:26:00.003-05:002014-06-08T20:32:28.743-05:00Rebutting the pro-rail op-eds and how to fix Houston's top issuesI wanted to focus this week's post on the GHP's new "No Limits" branding campaign for Houston, but multiple op-eds in today's Chronicle need an immediate response, so it'll have to wait a week. I'm referring to both of the pro-rail ones (here and here) as well as the board editorial calling out Houston's leadership on multiple issues.

It was their highest attended session of the season and very well received. He brought an excellent set of slides chock full of insightful stats on Houston - well worth a skim.

So as Houston's sustained economic boom leads to rapidly increasing traffic congestion, we're going to *discourage* people switching to the Park and Rides?!?! How much sense does that make?! This is an incentives problem.

Jambalaya rivals gumbo as Louisiana's quintessential Creole dish. All you need is a tangy green salad, some garlic bread, and a feisty Sauvignon Blanc. It's a great party dish that you can prepare ahead so you can enjoy the party yourself. (Now that's New Orleans.)
Combine the butter and sausage in a Dutch oven or heavy-gauge pot over high heat, and sauté for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic, and season with Creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sauté, still over high heat, for about 8 minutes, or until the natural sugars in the vegetables have browned and caramelized.
Add the tomatoes, shrimp, fish, and bay leaves, and stir. Add the rice, stir gently, and add the water. Gently move the spoon across the bottom of the pot, making sure that the rice is not sticking. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid. Turn off the heat, then fold in the oysters, cover, and let sit for about 8 minutes, during which time the jambalaya will continue cooking from residual heat.
To serve, transfer to a serving bowl, and mix in the green onions. Season with hot sauce.

The Army Corps of Engineers has issued a warning to an R44 pilot for plucking party-goers from boats on Tennessee's Dale Hollow Lake and letting them dangle from the skids before they dropped into the water. The FAA may take separate action.
And with helicopters as the players, that stage can be just about anywhere big enough to plant a pair of skids and keep the rotors out of trouble. This MD 500 touched down in a parking lot to join the gathering of the best and brightest rotorcraft here in Houston.
