Stir fried fish with soy braised tofu
3 | Garlic cloves |
1 | Red chilli |
400 g | Fish fillets |
300 g | Tofu |
8 Tbsp | Peanut oil |
2 | Spring onions |
1 | Salt |
2 Tbsp | Soy sauce |
1 Tbsp | Sugar |
2 | Shiitake mushrooms |
1 | Carrot |
½ | Bamboo shoots |
200 g | Button mushrooms |
1 Tbsp | Dry sherry |
1 cup | Chicken stock |
- Chop the garlic finely, then seed and chop the chilli.
- Slice the fish fillets (such as snapper) into 2cm-wide strips.
- Cut the tofu into 4 and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok until smoking, then cook the garlic and chilli until soft but with little colour.
- Add the fish and tofu and stir-fry until golden and just cooked through – about 4 minutes.
- Scoop them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent kitchen paper, seasoning lightly with salt.
- Cut the spring onions into 3cm lengths, discarding the dark-green leaves.
- Soak the shiitake mushrooms in hot water until soft, then remove the stalks and cut the mushrooms in half through the middle. Peel and finely slice the carrot on the diagonal.
- Finely chop the bamboo shoot and cut the button mushrooms into quarters.
- Heat the remaining oil in the wok, then add the spring onion and shiitake mushrooms, cooking for 1 minute.
- Add the carrot, bamboo shoot and mushrooms, frying until just golden.
- Pour in the sherry, stock, soy sauce and sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes, then return the fish, tofu, aromatics and any juices to the wok.
- Braise for another 5 minutes. Serve in bowls. Serves
- Stir-frying should happen quickly, so it's worth mentioning a few key points. The first is to have everything cut and ready to go into the wok. The second is the wok – it needs to be made of thin steel, for the fierce heat it generates will help you greatly. Last, keep all the ingredients moving around the pan as you cook.

Reviews for Harvest Salad with Cherry Vinaigrette
"Beautiful, festive platter! We used some fun variations - different colored carrots and grape tomatoes. I'm not keen on cherry flavors, so we used maple vinegar instead of cherry preserves and red wine vinegar for the vinaigrette. Didn't even use the bacon - it was varied and flavorful enough without it."
"I made this to go along with my beef/barley soup when friends visited. We all loved the dressing and flavors of the ingredients."
"I was intrigued by this recipe and had to give it a try. My husband thought that some ingredients didn't seem to go together. After trying it, I have to agree with him. The vinaigrette is delicious and I'll use it on other salads. I also got the courage to roast beets--also delicious."
"Awesome! I found I preferred the dressing with a bit less oil. Leftovers were delicious on a sandwich the next day."
"This is delicious - the way it's presented in the photo is the best for serving. If you mix it in a salad bowl everything turns purple and one color."
"This is wonderful. I always have to add a little sugar/splenda to my vinaigrette recipes because the are to tart for me. This one is wonderful. I just added a little water to thin it down a little. I love it!!!"

Jennifer Capriati is reportedly recovering in a South Florida hospital after suffering an "accidental" prescription drug overdose early on Sunday morning. Yes, the quotes are inevitable, given the three-time Major champion's past personal struggles. Via the Miami Herald:
Capriati family spokeswoman Lacey Wickline told the Associated Press on Monday that Capriati was "recovering fully and stably" in a South Florida hospital.
Wickline said Capriati had a physician's prescription, but declined to identify the medication. She also wouldn't say who found Capriati or called for help.
"In response to an outpouring of concern and support shown by Jennifer's fans and friends worldwide, we would like to acknowledge that Jen is recuperating at a South Florida hospital from an accidental overdose of medication prescribed to Jen by her personal physician," Wickline said. "Jen is recovering fully and stably."
Q. There are reports in the U.S. today that Jennifer Capriati is receiving treatment in hospital. How big of an influence was she on your career growing up?
VENUS WILLIAMS: Gosh, it's a little while ago. I mean, I watched her play back in the day, and I thought she was really good. I remember her match against Monica in the semifinals of the Open. I remember watching that and just thinking how great that tennis was.
So definitely a lot of fond memories just watching her growing up, and obviously even playing against her, respecting her game so much. I haven't heard any of this, so I don't know what's going on.
Q. Jennifer Capriati, are you going to get in touch with her?
SERENA WILLIAMS: I probably will definitely see how that goes and pray for everyone involved. If there's any way I can do anything to help, reach out, I definitely will do that.
Kim Clijsters on Twitter: "I haven't been able to stop thinking about Jen! I hope she makes it through ok and can get some help!"
Mary Joe Fernandez via The Miami Herald:
"I was really worried but I heard from her mom and Jennifer is doing great," Fernandez said. "I hope she recovers quickly. She has been through so much and overcome so much."
Fernandez, 38, was Capriati's roommate at the 1992 Olympics when Capriati won the gold medal.
"I'm five years older, but she usually beat me," Fernandez said.
They have remained friends over the years and often see each other at tournaments, although Fernandez said she did not see Capriati at the Sony Ericsson Open in the spring.
"As far as I know, she wasn't having any problems and she was doing fine," Fernandez.
TMZ broke the story.

We wanted a nice little fest, real boutique-like, but then it became clear you wanted to wear out your eyes watching movies, so we had no choice. We added shows.
The big ticket item: "Man on Wire" is now the Closing Night Film. Check it out. A nail-biter of an adventure, plus it's one of the most deeply emotional films of the last few years. This will have you on the edge of your chair, as they say.
We've also added these shows: "Please Vote For Me" on Sunday at 5:15pm; Gonzo on Friday at 10pm; "Oscar Shorts" on Friday at 10pm; "Carny" on Saturday at 10pm.
By popular demand, we moved "The Man Who Ate Badgers" to a larger venue, Macklanburg, on Friday at 10.
And now because you've been so patient, we can announce the titles of the TBAs. Most prominently, our Friday night opener 7:30pm at the Blue Note is "American Teen." This is the second and final screening of this Sundance favorite, so if you want to see it, this is your chance. "How I Am" gets its third screening on Sunday at 1pm. "Lucio" plays Sunday at 3:30PM; "Working Title" is now Sunday at 6pm. "I Think We're Alone Now" is the final TBA Sunday at 8:15.
Wish we could say, "Come and get it," but you'll need to wait til we open our box office on Thursday to claim or purchase these tickets. Can't wait to share this line-up with all of you.

2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Ryan Miller, OG, Colorado
His frame is built for offensive tackle, although he mostly played guard for the Buffaloes. Since he is so tall, he does well to keep his pads down but it is very tough for him to get leverage. Miller can be bull-rushed versus the pass and does well to hold his ground versus the run. He shows a nice mean streak, uses his hands well in tight spaces, and sometimes can push defenders back off the line. For his size, he moves well in open spaces and can pull the line. In the end, his time at guard may benefit him in the long term. Miller feels like a natural fit at right tackle.
His limitations are more pronounced when pass-blocking. Miller has long arms, but doesn't have a great punch to move defenders. He slides nicely with above-average footwork. Although, he needs to improve using his hands to dictate the action and keep defenders engaged at the point of attack. A sub-par Senior Bowl performance really hurt his draft stock in January and he will need a strong combine to carry him back into consideration for the late rounds.

"Over One-thousand dead." If that were people, it would be a tragedy of historical proportions. But because it is "just cats", no one takes notice. In 2013, 1,161 cats were euthanized in the Walton County Shelter alone; a rural county of only 82,000 people. Imagine what is happening in the larger metro-Atlanta shelters!
The weather is warming up; the cats are beginning to breed; the citizens will begin to call and complain; and the shelter will soon be flooded with adult cats and kittens. It happens every year, and 2014 won't be any different.
Each year, the "cat impound spike" begins in May and tapers off in November. Our small shelter can experience 300+ cats in one month during the peak. All summer long, within an hour of opening the doors in the morning, our adoption area is full and euthanasia room is loaded with cats in traps and cages. It is hard to fully explain the non-stop cat euthanasia all summer long.
Even though the high intake includes feral cats, there is just no way to turn around that many cats quick enough, so many of the friendly cats are euthanized as well. People bringing in boxes of kittens are sure that "they are just so cute they will find homes, right?" Little do they realize, they just turned in the fifth box of kittens already that day!
There are several factors that attribute to tragedy, including the sheer high numbers of cats that enter the shelter system. A big piece of the solution lies in low cost spay/neuter clinics and TNR programs. But the focus of this article is to increase the rescue and adoption rates for cats that do enter the system. Compared with the dogs, the rescue rate for cats is pitiful. In 2012, licensed rescue groups saved only about 200 cats from our shelter... even fewer were adopted! Meanwhile, over 80% of the cats were euthanized.
While there are almost 80 Georgia licensed rescue groups on file with our shelter, the majority of those rescues (138 cats) were rescued by one group, Pound Puppies N Kittens. PPNK started out as a dog rescue, but over the years has built a successful cat rescue program. In 2012, nearly 50% of their adoptions were cats. It can be done!
While we are extremely grateful for the number of dog rescues, we hope to see more rescues incorporate cats into their rescue and adoption programs. Yes, new cat rescues could be started, but existing dog rescues already have many procedures in place, websites set up, adoption centers located and events planned. Instead of reinventing the wheel, why not begin to incorporate cats into the existing rescue program? Poll the existing fosters and see who may be able to take in a cat from time to time; look for new cat fosters for the group; add a few housing crates to the remote adoption center for a cat or two.
Dear fellow rescue group,
I am with Pound Puppies n Kittens a rescue group in Walton County Georgia. We have been rescuing cats and dogs from local county shelters for over 15 years. It has been both a rewarding and disheartening experience. We have always tried to support our county shelters as much as possible. We provide spay neuter programs, medical advise, foster homes, supplies and share in their efforts.
When we started we were primarily a dog and puppy rescue group, We did take a few kittens and the pretty blue eyed cats. As we have grown over the years our cat adoptions have grown tremendously. This year we will do about 50 % cat and kitten adoptions. I want to encourage other rescue groups that don't have a cat adoption program to build one.
Why should we all be rescuing cats? The cat plight at county animal controls is much more dire than the dogs. There are still many highly adoptable cats and kittens being euthanized. Most counties live release rate for cats is a dismal 5-15 %. This means 85-95% of cats entering these shelters are dieing. Many of these cats have been housecats and are already sterilized. There are many more rescue groups for dogs than cats.
If you look at national statistics cats are continuing to grow as the number one family pet. There are more pet cats then pet dogs. There is a market for adopting these shelter cats to the public. WE need to figure out ways to tap this market.
These are the different components we have added to build our cat program:
1. Find cat people in your community and get them involved with fostering and adoptions. Our cat people make it fun. They are constantly doing fun things with the cats at our adoption events. They network and constantly talk cat to their friends and fellow cat lovers
2. Look for a place to house adoptable cats for potential adopters to meet. Petsmart, Petco, Tractor Supply, Local feed and pet stores.
3. Intake for cats coming from animal control can be foster homes or a room devoted to holding these cats. In some ways foster cats are easier than dogs, so new fosters may want to start with a cat. They are easier to confine and don't require as much work and attention as a dog.
I would be happy to consult and advise with any group or person that is interested in rescuing cats. I hope I can encourage more groups to incorporate and build a cat adoption program.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Aides' Corporation May Have Illegally Gotten Cain Campaign Off The Ground
According to sources and documents obtained by the newspaper, Prosperity USA, founded by Block and Hansen, footed the bill "for tens of thousands of dollars in expenses for such items as iPads, chartered flights and travel to Iowa and Las Vegas - something that might breach federal tax and campaign law." Daniel Bice reports:
It is not known if Cain's election fund eventually paid back Prosperity USA, which now appears defunct. The candidate's federal election filings make no mention of the debt, and the figures in the documents don't match payments made by the candidate's campaign.In addition to picking up these expenses at least initially, Prosperity USA also paid as much as $100,000 to the Congress of Racial Equality, a conservative black organization, shortly before Cain was a featured speaker at the group's annual Martin Luther King Jr. dinner in mid-January.
Records show that Prosperity USA's largest asset was nearly $40,000 owed to the organization by "FOH" -- Friends of Herman Cain -- which the Journal Sentinel reports owed "nearly $15,000 for an 'Atlanta invoice,' about $17,000 for chartered flight service and $5,000 for travel and meetings in Iowa, Las Vegas, Houston, Dallas and Louisiana. The document says the Cain campaign had been billed $3,700 for iPads purchased on Jan. 4.'"
The Journal Sentinel said the records suggest that Prosperity USA "had been underwriting travel for Cain even before he announced his plans to run for president."
"I just don't see how they can justify this," a national election expert told the Journal Sentinel. "It's a total mess."
Read the full report here.
Late update: Cain told Fox News he and his staff were not aware of the report and needed time to go though it. "I didn't even know about it until you brought it up on the show," Cain said.

Reader Rebuttal (Nilo Niccolai): Right to work
Regarding the Register op-ed "'Right to work' sets workers free to freeload," by Kevin O'Leary [Jan. 10]: I would expect a piece written by someone who is both a journalist and political scientist to be somewhat objective. I did not find that to be the case.
I have been a union member (several times), a nonunion employee, a manager, a charter member establishing a union shop and a manager of both union and nonunion employees. I grew up in a steel-producing community, and my father was a steel worker for more than 40 years. During my childhood, every few years my father would be on strike, then returning to work having had to survive in the meantime with a wage loss that would take years to recoup.
During my naïve undergraduate years I asked him why he was a member of a union. He said I didn't know how bad working conditions were before the union was established. When I then asked him why he didn't go to union meetings, he said because there were big guys who stood around the hall and told you to shut up if you tried to ask a question.
Those two extremes sum up what I have come to believe about unions. Namely, they come into existence for very good reason, and then once firmly established they become as big a part of the problem as what existed when they were established.
Right to work is not a clever slogan but recognition of the basic right of self-determination that exists as one of the fundamental tenets of our country.
What I found to be the case in managing union members is that most of them have no problem with belonging to a union that looks out for their working conditions and salaries. What they do have a hard time with are two typical union traits. First, no union member, no matter how poorly they perform or behave, can be fired. Second, their dues exceed what is needed for negotiations and related issues, and are then used to influence political causes and elected officials that the individual members do not support.
O'Leary asserts the need for the middle class to grow and for a resurgence of "Made in America." Perhaps his research includes how many union members have iPhones? Made where; in what union shop? For unions to grow, they need to go back to basics and respect their individual members and their right of self-determination.
The right-to-work movement is simply a reaction to the nanny state and the nanny union mentality that has been raising its head for years. It's really a question of trust. If you can't trust management you have an environment ripe for a union. If a union can't trust its members, you have an environment ripe for right to work.

This report describes the typical weather at the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (Savannah, Georgia, United States) weather station over the course of an average April. It is based on the historical records from 1974 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Savannah, Georgia has a warm humid temperate climate with hot summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by forests (70%), croplands (13%), oceans and seas (7%), grasslands (5%), and lakes and rivers (4%).
The month of April is characterized by rising daily high temperatures, with daily highs increasing from 74°F to 80°F over the course of the month, exceeding 88°F or dropping below 64°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of April, the length of the day is gradually increasing. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day increases by 54 minutes, implying an average day-over-day increase of 1.8 minutes.
The shortest day of the month is April 1 with 12:33 hours of daylight; the longest day is April 30 with 13:26 hours of daylight.
The earliest sunrise is at 6:39am on April 30; the latest sunset is at 8:05pm on April 30; the latest sunrise is at 7:12am on April 1; the earliest sunset is at 7:45pm on April 1.
Daylight saving time is observed in 2012 but it neither starts nor ends in April, so the entire month is in daylight time.
The median cloud cover is 38% (mostly clear) and does not vary substantially over the course of the month.
On April 15, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 49% of the time, partly cloudy 14% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 36% of the time.
The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed in a given day is 31%, with little variation over the course of the month.
Throughout April, the most common forms of precipitation are light rain, thunderstorms, and moderate rain.
Light rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 34% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around April 1, when it is observed during 11% of all days.
Thunderstorms are the most severe precipitation observed during 34% of those days with precipitation. They are most likely around April 30, when it is observed during 13% of all days.
Moderate rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 22% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around April 1, when it is observed during 8% of all days.
Either snow is exceptionally unlikely to fall at this location in April or this station does not reliably report precipitation types.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 39% (comfortable) to 91% (very humid) over the course of a typical April, rarely dropping below 22% (dry) and reaching as high as 100% (very humid).
The air is driest around April 12, at which time the relative humidity drops below 48% (comfortable) three days out of four; it is most humid around April 28, rising above 88% (very humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical April, the dew point typically varies from 43°F (dry) to 62°F (mildy humid) and is rarely below 27°F (dry) or above 69°F (muggy).
The time of the month between April 1 and April 30 is the most comfortable, with dew points that are neither too dry nor too muggy.
Over the course of April typical wind speeds vary from 0 mph to 15 mph (calm to moderate breeze), rarely exceeding 20 mph (fresh breeze).
The highest average wind speed of 8 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around April 6, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 15 mph (moderate breeze).
The lowest average wind speed of 7 mph (light breeze) occurs around April 27, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 14 mph (moderate breeze).

Happy Thanksgiving!
I want to take this chance to tell everyone what I am thankful for. There are so many blessings I have: Good Health, Family, Friends, a fun job, and the chance to live in a wonderful country. And, I have so many wonderful online friends that I never get a chance to thank, for their inspiration and support.
Today, as a thank you to all my online friends, here is a free image that I drew just for you! I have been drawing variations of this pilgrim/turkey since elementary school, and I thought you might also like a chance to color him. Just click on the image and save it. (Not for commercial reproduction without permission).
Coloring the turkey
I looked at turkey photos to get the coloration right on my turkey. This image has a lot of browns, and honestly, I used so many browns that I may have missed some in the tutorial.
First, I started with the hardest parts. In this case, the gun was trickiest. I colored the metal parts of the gun with C1, C3, N5. Notice the strong contrast between darks/lights. This helps with the illusion of reflective metal.
I used E31/E44 for the main body of wood, and E27/29 for the shadows.
The yellow was colored with Y06 and Y21. His hat was colored with N3/N5/N7. His leather boots were colored with E13, E37 and E29. Notice the crisp cast shadows under the cuffs, as this helps make the boots look more dimensional. By changing the base tone of brown, you can see that the boots take on a different tone than the gun, even though the darker colors are pretty similar.
Next I colored his head. Turkeys have a red/blue fading bald head. Really pretty, and kindof tricky to do with Copics. The B32 is feather blended into the R22/R14. I added some C3 to his head to tone it down as well. I dotted on colorless blender and R59 to make it look lumpy. I could have darkened under the hat brim a bit more, but his head is so tiny that I didn't want to lose too much color, so I left it fairly bright.
Finally, I colored his body with a bunch of browns and N7 and W9 to darken the deepest shadows. Real turkeys have beautiful, patterned feathers, heavy in blacks/dark browns, so I wanted to keep that feeling of dark, dark feathers.
His tail is colored first with E44, then I added E31 to the small feathers, darkened those with E27 and W7. The Bigger feathers are darkened with YR14, E27/29, and the tips are colored with C3.
Once his body was done, I went through and touched up colors, deepened shadows on the whole image, and then added a hint of blue sky with BG70, BG000, and B41.
The scans all came out a little different in tone from each other but I didn't bother color-correcting them, and he seems to look better in real life. Oh well. He was fun to draw, fun to color, and I hope you enjoy coloring him as well.
Upcoming Events
Atlanta Intermediate Certification, Dec. 1
If you haven't registered yet, we still have a couple spaces left in the Atlanta Intermediate class next week. Colleen Schaan and I will be teaching that class.
On Dec. 2nd, from 10-11am, we will be having a book signing at Altered Angel in Alpharetta, GA.
This is a free event. We will also have markers and images from Our Craft Lounge for people to color and come down and say Hi! Don't miss it! Colleen and I are going to have a lot of fun, so please join us either at the class, or at the book signing.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, and those of you here in the States, enjoy your Thanksgiving!

LANCASTER, Pa. – Franklin & Marshall guard Georgio
Milligan had a game-high 33 points as the tenth-ranked Diplomats
(5-1, 1-0 Centennial) handed Ursinus (3-2, 0-1 Centennial) a 78-74
loss in men's basketball play Wednesday night.
The game was the Centennial Conference opener for both teams, and
featured two teams that have appeared in the NCAA Semifinals over
the last two seasons.
Mike Baker added in 13 points for the Dips, while James McNally
had 12.
For Ursinus, senior guard Remy Cousart (Philadelphia,
Pa./Holy Ghost) had a team-high 23 points and grabbed a
game-high 13 rebounds. Freshman forward Kevin Janowski (New
Egypt, N.J./New Egypt) had a career-high 18 points, with
junior guard Matt Hilton (Lewistown, Pa./Lewistown
Area) adding in 17 points.
As has been the case for the last five meetings between the teams,
this game was decided by ten points or less.
With Ursinus leading 71-70 with 1:50 left in the game, Brandon
Beckford hit a jumper with 50 seconds left to give F&M a slim
72-71 lead. Ursinus made a stop, but, Hilton's three pointer
with 35 seconds left missed. Anthony Brooks was stripped with 29
seconds left by Cousart, but, Cousart's driving layup did not
The Dips then sank two foul shots to go up 74-71, and the Bears
could not get a shot off.
After trailing 6-1, Ursinus rallied to go up 13-12 with 15:16 left
in the first half on a layup by Cousart. That would be the only
lead Ursinus would have in the first half, as F&M went up by as
much as ten points in the first half.
Trailing 41-34 at the half, Ursinus rallied to take the lead at
47-46 on a layup by Janowski with 16:01 left. However, the Dips
would regain the lead, and then took a 57-51 lead with 11:15 left
on a three-pointer by Milligan.
F&M held a 41-34 lead on the glass, with Brooks collecting
F&M four better than Bears, 78-74

Glowing reviews:
Audio-Technica ATH-CKM99
The following is taken from |Joker|'s review thread:
Sound (8.8/10) – The ATH-CKM99 is Audio-Technica's flagship dynamic and the company's take on a high-end consumer-class earphone. The signature of the earphone strikes a balance between the typical high-end dynamic-driver IEM and Audio-Technica's bright-and-shiny house sound. The end result is lively and versatile. Audio-Technica's CKM99 is an exquisitely well-built earphone . . . . Despite the huge 14mm drivers used, the CKM99 fits comfortably in the ear and isolates better than many other high-end dynamics . . . . GR07 is fast, neutral, and balanced. The CKM99 is lively, colored, and liquid. In typical Audio-Technica fashion, it breaks from the warm sound of most similarly-priced dynamics and captures some of the company's ambient and euphonic house sound. Not being priced up in the $250+ range with Audio-Technica's BA-based flagships helps the CKM99 stay competitive . . . .
Phonak PFE112
The W4 have slightly more detailed treble and are a bit less lean than the PFE 112. The W4 are very good sounding, but don't ask me why they need four armatures for their sound signature... are they worth that much over the PFE 112? Are the PFE 232 worth that much over the PFE 112? Are the Fi-BA-SS... well, you get the picture. The Westone 4 sounds basically the same as a Phonak PFE with grey filters. . . . The W4's bass rendition is a tiny bit more voluminous, yet the PFE reach down lower than the W4 and are a tiny bit faster. PFE have a tiny bit more overall clarity than the W4 - both have similar (excellent) dynamics and similar stereo imaging. . . . The difference that probably does matter is that . . . . Westone needs four armatures and a price tag of $450 to achieve basically the same, some two years later. By the way, James444 heard both side by side as well, and he seems to generally agree with that assessment of the W4 vs. the PFE.
shigzeo PFE Bass: Clean, Strong but Subtle If you have heard Audio Technica balanced-armature IEM's before, you will easily relate to the PFE house sound. . . . suit very well to bass and atmospheric music such as IDM, trance and rap. PFE Treble and Mid: Where the Tough Gets Going Before I heard the PFE, I read in many forums about they clarity of the treble and instrument separation that rivalled the best even from Etymotic. Having owned the Etymotic ER4S. . . . Well, the PFE earphones are wonderful. In fact, I prefer them to the ER4S because they are not as fatiguing. . . . Mids are no less brilliant and match wonderfully to the highs, bringing crispness and clarity to vocals, electronic instruments and breath even to quiet intimate passages. . . . the PFE are sure to please mid-lovers and vocal music fans who love clear, full and lush vocals. These phones best the ER4S in Jazz and acoustic music because they are not tiring nor gratingly metallic. . . . PFE Soundstage: A Little can Go a Long Way Phonak's PFE delivers on mids and highs in such a delightful way that it is easy to misinterpret more space than actually is present in the music. Instruments are well arranged and placed with no smudging.
IEM Reviewer Extraordinaire
The overall sound signature of PFE with grey filter is balanced, toward neutral yet analytical, clean and great in resolution. Treble is very well extended, highly detail, sparkly yet not overdone. . . . Bass has a good sense of speed, quality and low extension . . . Soundstage is slightly above average with a good sense of airiness and instrument separation. The overall sound signature of PFE with black filter is smooth, warm and musical . . . . By selecting the filters, PFE can switch between a more analytical sound and a more musical performance. . . . With black filter, PFE easily gives UM2 a run for its money by maintain a higher level of resolution. . . .

i dont get it... was Jim going to play huges or will he be playing huges..... i have become confused in this topic....
At one time the richest man in the world.Built up TWA airlines.Developed weapon systems for the US government.Flew round the world single handed in record time.Became a recluse in later life and went over 10 years only meeting one new person.At one time he even had to do a live radio interview to prove to people he was still alive.An extreme in everything he did,but also tall and very handsome in his early days.Ultimately he was sad,tragic,a genius and fascinating all in one.
Thanks Stanley....When I referred to Mike Jackson, I wasn't trying to insult him. I was just mentioning about the gloves.
Back to Jim taking the role of the older Hughes, of course he could... I have no doubt. I believe he would do the part justice. Most geniuses are wierd, their brains are going so fast. And what isn't important to them, to them just isn't important. That's my view. At the Robbie Burns night my honey and I decided that he would also be good for the part of Robbie Burns, it wouldn't take much to make them look alike. Robbie had 13 kids, I wonder how Jim would deal with that?? Hmmm

Vicar of Dibley star Dawn French has married her partner Mark Bignell in Cornwall, it was reported today.
French is believed to have had a hotel wedding with celebrity guests in Fowey, near St Austell.
The ceremony is said to have taken place in Fowey Hall, described on its website as "one of the most impressive family hotels in Cornwall" and "sophisticated yet uncomplicated, luxurious yet laid back, grand yet comfy".
It claims to be "perfect" for weddings and provides an "idyllic setting".
French, who won millions of viewers in the 13 years she played the title character in Richard Curtis's hit sitcom, married Lenny Henry in 1984, but they divorced in 2010.
They have an adopted daughter called Billie.
Speaking on Radio 4's Desert Islands Discs last year, she talked about the end of her marriage to fellow comic Lenny Henry, saying: "Those last few months were pretty much like the first few months, we were good friends."
She added: "It was a tribute to the way we'd been married the way we accomplished it."
French's spokesman could not be contacted.
A representative of Fowey Hall declined to comment.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - I got a cycling question.
I got a cycling question. Are you or are you not suppose to perform water changes during the cycling process? Also, How often should I perform my water test at the beginning of cycling and during it till completion? After the cycling is complete should I perform a 10% water change twice a week or just once? |
Are you doing a cycle with fish? If so, my goal has been to keep ammonia and nitrites under .25 ppm. Its best to only use fish, that are said to be tolerant of ammonia and nitrites. Some fish, .25 ppm would be to much. Test at least daily, while the tank is cycling. Be prepared for daily water changes if needed. Once the tank is cycled, water changes depend on how heavily the tank is stocked and how much water needs changed out to keep nitrates under 40 ppm. My tanks, depending on what type fish I have in them, get 25%-50% of the water changed out weekly. |
I was planning on doing a fishless cycle. |
Is this the tank with the pleco? did the pleco die? Or is this a different tank? I would not add ammonia to a tank that had a live fish in it. |
if your doing a fishless cycle you dont need anywater changes just wait till all your levels drop and then depending on the size of the tank do a 10 - 25% every week. Money |
If there are no fish in the tank, add enough pure ammonia to bump the tank up to 3-4 ppm. Test daily. Do not add any more ammonia until you see a drop. Then start bumping the ammonia back up to 3-4 ppm daily. You will see a nitrite spike. Keep adding ammonia and testing daily. The cycle is finished when both ammonia and nitrites test zero, 12 hrs after bumping the ammonia up to 3 ppm. Then you need to test for nitrates. You will need to do a large water change to lower nitrates under 40ppm, before adding fish. The biggest mistake in a fishless cycle, is adding to much ammonia. Over 5 ppm, it will stall the cycle. Turning the heat up to the high 80s will speed thing up. The whole process will take anywhere from 3-8 weeks. If you have any cycled filter media, it will help seed the cycle. |
I don't have any used media as of now. My pleco unfortunately died last week. I ok so no water changes to after the cycle is complete, test the water daily, and make sure to not make the amonia no more than 5ppm. Correct? |
Then, when cycle is complete perform at least a 60% water change then add fish right? |
Correct! You may need to change out more than 60%, all depends on the nitrate level once the cycle is complete. |
okie dokie. Thank You so much. |

September, 2011
Note The most current Cisco documentation for released products is available on Cisco.com. For the complete set of Cisco Global Site Selector user documentation, go to the following URL:
These release notes apply to Cisco Global Site Selector (GSS) software Version 4.1(0)
This document contains the following sections:
•Upgrading or Downgrading the GSS Software
•Software Version 4.1(0) CLI and GUI Changes
•Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request
Upgrading or Downgrading the GSS Software
Table 1 provides information about the upgrade sequence for previous software versions that you must follow before you upgrade to Version 4.1(0).
Note The GSS software release 4.1.0 is supported only on GSS 4492R, and is not supported on the following hardware: GSS 4491, GSS 4490, or GSS 4480.
Note You must upgrade the primary GSSM first, followed by the other GSS devices in your network. After you upgrade the primary GSSM, ensure that each GSS device in your network to be upgraded is connected to the primary GSS device. If you upgrade the non-primary GSS prior to the primary GSSM upgrade, you might experience unexpected behavior.
Note When upgrading the GSS device from software versions that earlier than 3.2(0) to software Version 4.1(0), the device will reboot twice to complete the upgrade.
The Cisco Global Site Selector Administration Guide (Software Version 4.1(0)) contains the required information to upgrade your GSS software.
Note The upgrade image does not contain GeoDB database file. You must download the GeoDB database file from the following URL: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/sec/ . The download link is password protected. For the user name and password, refer to the e-delivery letter of your GeoIP database licence. For further assistance, contact your Cisco account representative or send an e-mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com.
New Features in GSS 4.1(0)
This section describes the new and updated GSS software Version 4.1(0) features and contains the following topics:
•Geo-Location-Based GSLB Feature
•Support for IPv6 Addressing in GSLB and Management
Note GSS 4.1(0) is supported only on GSS4492R hardware. You are not permitted to install GSS 4.1(0) on any hardware older than 4492R (4491, 4490, and 4480).
Note The Geo-location-based services cannot be configured with an IPv6 address.
Geo-Location-Based GSLB Feature
GSS software Version 4.1(0) supports the GeoIP database (GeoDB) proximity computation mechanism in GSS. From the latitudinal and longitudinal information in the GeoDB, GSS decides the proximity, based on the geographical distance from the client's D-proxy IP to the zone IP. During the proximity calculation, the GSS uses these distances to determine the IP address of the resource nearest to the D-proxy.
To enhance the various GSS features with GeoIP-awareness, you can add regions based on the GeoDB locations. The process of updating the GeoDB does not impact GSS operations. All user-defined database entries are preserved during a database upgrade.
To enable the GeoDB feature, a valid GeoIP license should be installed and the GeoIP database should be imported into GSS. After importing, if static entries are present, then the distance gets computed based on latitude and longitude mentioned for the static entries.
GSS software Version 4.1(0) supports the capability to answer DNS requests with most proximate answers to the D-proxy.
If you want to enable the GeoDB license package on a particular GSS, you must purchase a GeoDB license from Cisco Systems to receive a Product Authorization Key (PAK) number. For more information on obtaining and installing a GeoDB license, see the Global Site Selector Administration Guide. See the Cisco Global Site Selector GUI-based Global Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide and the Cisco Global Site Selector CLI-based Global Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide for more information.
Support for IPv6 Addressing in GSLB and Management
The GSS software Version 4.1.0 supports IPv6 configurations with the following considerations:
•By default, IPv6 is disabled on an interface. The IPv6 support is enabled by configuring an IPv6 address on the interface. To enable the GSS functionality and to bring up the GSS communication, you need to configure an IPv4 address on the interface.
Note All mesh communications in the GSS network occurs over the IPv4 address. If you do not specify an IPv4 address the GSS services will not start.
•The GSS GUI can only be accessed using an IPv4 address in your browser. (For example, https:// 192.168.1.1).
•When you enable IPv6 or configure a global IPv6 address on an interface, the GSS automatically does the following:
–Configures a link-local address (if it is not already configured).
–Performs Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) on both addresses.
•To enable global IPv6 address, you must first configure an IPv6 address on the local interface.
•You can enable or disable an IPv6 configuration on an interface individually. You cannot be enable or disable the IPv6 configuration globally.
•A link-local address is an IPv6 unicast address that has a scope of the local link only and is required on every interface. Every link-local address has a predefined prefix of FE80::/10. You can configure a link-local address manually. If you do not configure a link-local address before enabling an IPv6 address on the interface, the GSS automatically generates a link-local address with a prefix of FE80::/64. Only one IPv6 link-local address can be configured on an interface.
•A unique local address is an optional IPv6 unicast address that is used for local communication within an organization and it is similar to a private IPv4 address (for example, 10.10.2.1). unique local addresses have a global scope, but they are not routable on the Internet, and they are assigned by a central authority. All unique local addresses have a predefined prefix of FC00::/7. You can configure only one IPv6 unique local address on an interface.
•A global address is an IPv6 unicast address that is used for general IPv6 communication. Each global address is unique across the entire Internet. Therefore, its scope is global. The low order 64 bits can be assigned in several ways, including auto configuration using the EUI-64 format. You can configure only one globally unique IPv6 address on an interface.
The sticky module supports the following IPv6 functionalities in software Version 4.1.0:
1. Global prefix length can be configured to match IPv6 D-Proxy addresses into the same sticky database (SDB) entry.
2. The Sticky Groups can be configured for IPv6 address. The IPv6 D-Proxy addresses and the answers returned for AAAA queries can be stored to track hit count for AAAA query answers.
3. All sticky database operations like SDB lookup and SDB entry delete operations should be enhanced for IPv6 D-Proxy and IPv6 answers.
4. The IPv6 sticky database can be synced across the GSS mesh when the global sticky is used.
Software Version 4.1(0) CLI and GUI Changes
This section describes the CLI command and GUI changes associated with software version 4.1(0) and includes the following sections:
•Command Changes for Software Version 4.1(0)
•GUI Changes in Software Version 4.1(0)
Command Changes for Software Version 4.1(0)
Table 2 describes the new CLI commands that are added in software Version 4.1(0):
Note For an overview and detailed syntax description of the new commands in software Version 4.1(0), see Cisco Global Site Selector Command Reference Guide 4.1(0) and Cisco Global Site Selector CLI Configuration Guide 4.1(0)
GUI Changes in Software Version 4.1(0)
The GSS 4.1(0) GUI has a new color scheme that enhances the user experience. Figures 1 through 4 depict the new appearance of the user interface.
Note You must use an IPv4 IP address to access the primary GSSM GUI login screen. IPv6 address is not supported to access the GSSM GUI screen.
Figure 1 Primary GSS GUI
Figure 2 Regions Tab
Figure 3 Shared KeepAlives
Figure 4 Create New DNS Rule
Figure 5 GeoDB Tab
Enhanced GUI Changes
Several GUI screens now contain options for configuring the new GeoDB enhancements and IPv6 support described in the "New Features in GSS 4.1(0)" section. The modified screens are as follows:
•Resources Tab—The menu options for this tab now contain the Regions option for performing the following tasks:
–Add, remove, or modify regions.
–Add additional states to a specific region. For example, if you select United States, you can add multiple states such as California, North Carolina, and Texas simultaneously.
Note Before you add or modify the regions or states, you must import the GeoDB file. To import the GeoDB file, you must use the following command:
geodb database import tar-file-name cisco_geodb_2011-07-12_v001.tar.gz md5sum-file-name cisco_geodb_2011-07-12_v001.tar.gz.md5.
Download the GeoDB file from the following URL: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/sec/ . The download link is password protected. For the user name and password, refer to the e-delivery letter of your GeoIP database licence. For further assistance, contact your Cisco account representative or send an e-mail message to email@example.com.
•Source Address List Screen (DNS Rules > Source Address Lists)—This screen now contains additional navigation tree options that enables you Add Addresses, Delete Addresses, Add Regions and Delete Region to a new or an existing source address list.
•DNS Rule Builder (DNS Rules > Shared KeepAlives)—The section of the builder that is used to configure the shared keepalives now contains the OID (Object Identifier) Type drop-down list that enables you to choose the IpAddress or Inet option.
•DNS tab (DNS > DNS Rules)—This new create DNS rule screen now contains options to configure aaaa query type, enable sticky, and region-based sticky check boxes.
•GeoDB (GeoDB > Configuration)—The screen now contains a new radio button (Request Monitoring ). You can select this radio button to enable the Geo-source monitoring settings.
For more information, see the Cisco Global Site Selector GUI-Based Global Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide or the Online Help.
Configuration Scalability
GSS software version 4.1(0) provides enhancement of the maximum VIP limit from 4000 to 8000, maximum answer group limit from 2000 to 4000, and the maximum number of domain lists from 2000 to 4000. You can either enter an IPv4 or an IPv6 address in the VIP address field.
RMI Interface Specification
GSS software Version 4.1(0) improves the performance of the Java RMI interface that GSS uses to communicate with Cisco Application Networking Manager (ANM). Using ANM, you can monitor GSS operations and activate or suspend GSS VIP answers and DNS rules. Improved performance of the RMI interface includes faster response times and the ability to handle additional simultaneous connections.
Note The caveat titles are not intended to be read as complete sentences because the title field length is limited. In the caveat titles, some truncation of wording or punctuation may be necessary to provide the most complete and concise description.
This section contains the resolved and open caveats for software version 4.1(0) and contains the following topics:
•Resolved Caveats for Software Version 4.1(0)
•Open Caveats for Software Version 4.1(0)
Resolved Caveats for Software Version 4.1(0)
This section lists the resolved caveats for software Version 4.1(0).
•CSCtn64849—When inactivity timeout is set to any value, for example, 5 minutes and a request is sent using a dig utility tool, the entry does not get timed out after the set inactivity timeout value.
•CSCtn67146—When GeoIP feature is enabled the explorer process utilizes 99.9% of the CPU.
•CSCtn67353—When GeoIP enabled with zones is configured and a request is sent from D-proxy where both the D-proxy and the zones have the same latitude and longitude information, the distance is computed as -1, hence there is insufficient proximity data and the proximity clause fails.
•CSCtn67597—Logs display negative D-proxy IP number for few dig requests with GeoIP feature enabled.
•CSCtn75932—When zone IPs are modified, the distance is not calculated accurately.
Workaround: Restart GSS.
•CSCto01224—When GSS is restarted the GeoIP database gets deleted.
•CSCto04065—When the zone IP is entered which is not present on the database, the explorer process uses 99% of the CPU.
Workaround: Do not enter the zone IPs which are not present on the database.
•CSCto04849—Dig request always returns the first answer with the GeoIP feature enabled. GeoIP functionality does not work.
•CSCto14512—Distance is not calculated correctly for a dig request after adding and then deleting static entries.
•CSCto47104—GeoIP feature works without installing a license.
•CSCto52472—GeoDB proximity does not work for more than one DNS rule, the cached proximity database entry does not get updated for a new lookup request received with new zones.
•CSCto45194—GeoIP license installation does not work.
•CSCto60633—No answers are returned when distance returned is outside the acceptable and equivalence distance.
•CSCto60585—When a new zone is added, all the answers are not returned within acceptable and equivalence distance.
Workaround: Re-submit the DNS rule after modifying zones and locations.
•CSCto68183—On rare occasions, GSS can have WTMP partition filled up with ANM user login info that does not get cleared out properly. This can cause problems to access TACACS and SSH.
Workaround: Reload GSS or go into the debug shell and truncate the file.
•CSCto79758—When the GSS is reloaded and if the license is installed before the GeoDB is imported, you cannot run any gslb config/show commands even if the GSS status is ready.
•CSCto93424—Performance drop is seen after each 10 minutes.
•CSCeg62247—The following message is seen on the console of the GSS, which runs software release that are older than 4.1.0.
EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended
Workaround: Run the mountcount binary script.
•CSCto98333—The GSS goes into an unstable state if you directly upgrade the software from version 1.3.3 to 3.2.
Workaround: Upgrade to any intermediate version such as 3.1.2 before you upgrade to 3.2. Refer Cisco Global Site Selector Administration Guide 4.1.(0) for the upgrade procedure.
•CSCtq67697—Unable to configure IPv4 or IPv6 VIP answers from the GSS GUI.
Workaround: Use the CLI to configure IPv4 or IPv6 VIP answers.
•CSCtq70881—DNS Server crashes when the DNS rule is configured through CLI.
Workaround: Configure DNS rule through GUI.
•CSCtq71231—The following error message is seen, when you try to add default keepalives of any kal type, to the configured VIP answer.
Failed to Configure Answer with type VIP and Address <ip>. Reason: null
Workaround: Use the GUI to configure default keepalives to the configured VIP answer.
•CSCtq90939—DAD detection does not work in the following cases:
1. If IP is configured in the shutdown mode of the interface and followed with a no shutdown.
2. If DAD detected IP is configured and when you restart the GSS show interface command does not show the DAD status correctly.
Workaround: Configure the interface IP in no shutdown mode and check the for DAD detection in the show interface command.
•CSCts04876—Scripted-kal does not work if the kal-type is snmp-mib-not-index-by-vip with the target address of the Content Services Switch.
Workaround: Use the CSS scripted-kal-type query to target Content Services Switch.
•CSCtr82496—Upon upgrading to software release 4.1.(0), the standby GSS returns NXDOMAIN to the DNS lookup query. This problem occurs when the standby GSS has been upgraded before the primary GSS.
Workaround: Restart GSS.
•CSCtq96231—When you configure two or more answers with ICMP keepalives at the same time the probe statistics gets duplicated.
Workaround: None.
•CSCtr98825— When scripted-kal is configured to get the LOAD value, the KeepAliveEngine (KALE) process dumps the core file.
Workaround: Configure other keepalive types such as KAL-AP.
•CSCtr69232—Best case performance numbers for the DNS queries drop by 35% because of the IPv6 changes in release 4.1.0.
Workaround: None.
•CSCts44391—The DNS server crashes when TCP traffic is sent from more than 3 consoles simultaneously. This problem occurs because the "recv" call in tcpRead fails. And, in error path if you set the fd to -1 and delete the reference from Sticky and Proximity module.
Workaround: None.
•CSCtz88393—In GSS 3.x and earlier versions, if an AAAA query hits the GSS box and if the NS Forward DNS clause is selected, the AAAA queries will not be forwarded to the corresponding Name Server. Instead, an NOERROR will be returned by GSS.
This behavior has been corrected from GSS 4.x versions. If a AAAA query hits the GSS box and if NS Forward DNS clause is selected, the AAAA queries will be forwarded to the corresponding Name Server. If the Name Server is in offline/suspended state, the GSS returns an SERVFAIL.
Workaround: None
Open Caveats for Software Version 4.1(0)
This section lists the open caveats for software Version 4.1(0):
•CSCtc76185—When using the CLI to manage the GSS, on rare occasions the answer suspend functions does not work.
Workaround: Use the GSS GUI to suspend the answer.
•CSCte43718—When an answer group change is being made on the GSS GUI, GSS is seeing dnsserver cores, which can be traced back to the change. This issues is not seen with 4492 GSS devices.
Workaround: None.
•CSCtf78828—GSS uses a variable "numInUse" to track number of answers available to return to the D-proxy based on keepalive checks. When a CSM real bounces in and out of service, a failure can occur that results in the GSS not returning the valid online CSM answer. In a round robin rule, the GSS will not hand out the CSM answer even though the answer is online. This issues is not seen with 4492 GSS devices.
Workaround: None.
•CSCtg97066—When the GSS is integrated with TACACS+ and the user is accessing the GSS GUI, on rare occasions the Tomcat process restarts and generates a core.
Workaround: None.
•CSCtj86311—When an HTTP-HEAD KAL response from a VIP is delayed (because FW drops first 3 SYNs), the GSS mis-handles the TCP session and marks the KAL as failed.
Workaround: None.
•CSCtk56123—When sticky and proximity are enabled on GSS and under the DNS rule, "Wait" is enabled, the GSS stops serving answers (DNS request timeout on the client end) for some clients.
Workaround: Disable sticky or proximity, or disable the "Wait".
•CSCtl11705—The GSS is unresponsive; no response from console, GUI, or SSH and DNS requests also go unanswered.
Workaround: Reboot the GSS to recover.
•CSCtq25770—The periodic back-up of the GeoIP database does not occur until it is initiated manually.
Workaround: Use geodb database periodic-backup command through the CLI to initiate the periodic back-up manually.
•CSCtx47230—When the number of states/countries added in a region crosses more than 50, the DNS server restarts in a loop.
Workaround: Split regions with more than 50 states/countries into multiple regions and configure all these regions into the same Source Address List.
•CSCtz80103—Upon using the MaxMind GeoIP database which is downloaded after November 21, 2012, the following commands may not display any output and may generate a core file when executed:
–geodb database lookup <ip-address>
–show statistics dns geo-region
Workaround: Use the MaxMind database which is downloaded on or before November 21, 2012.

An audition that's been teased since the premiere last week finally took place on Monday night's "The Voice" — Briana Cuoco, "Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco'ssister and personal assistant — had a blind audition and successfully joined Team Xtina.
[xfinity-record-button id="7958122402999891112″ program_type="series"]
It feels sort of weird that a show would spend so much time previewing one single artist because she has a famous sister, when it constantly trumpets its values about individuality and not mattering what you look like, where you come from, and presumably, who you know.
And then, it was even weirder when Briana started singing Lady Gaga's "You and I" and its pace was mysterious and her voice was just there. But Christina Aguilera was drawn in by her belt, and Cee Lo Green—egged on by Adam Levine–pushed his button at the very last second, too. Kaley, backstage, was jumping like crazy. Christina was won over by Briana's "power and raw talent," so Briana picked her team.
But that was the most exciting part of tonight's show, so I guess I can see why they spent so much time in Kaley Cuoco's kitchen, watching her sister make appointments for her dogs.

Seriously, Monday night's batch of contestants was borderline mediocre, with only a couple real standouts. Monika Leigh was one. The 28-year-old works in a hotel in Boulder (where I once stayed!) and has given up on music at 22. "I started getting older," she said. "Dreams are dreams; that's why they're called dreams." I want to patch together all the incredibly jaded things young people say on these shows and make some kind of art project out of it, because otherwise they all just make me want to fall into a depressive spiral and crawl into bed and not come out ever. But Monika came back to life when she sang "The Thrill is Gone" all Joss Stone-like and got Adam, Cee Lo and Blake Shelton to push their buttons. She said later that she wanted to go for Adam, but something in her gut told her to pick Blake, after he showed off the three ridiculous "Voice" trophies he got for winning the show.
The other best performer tonight was probably Lina Gaudenzi, another contestant with a family member more interesting than they are. Linda's mom was a model who posed in the first ever Victoria's Secret catalog. Linda, too, was a model as a child, but gained weight and stopped modeling, instead going to Paris to study classical music and opera. Her "Landslide," though, had a lot of country twists to it. Blake did venture to get her on his team, but Christina pushed first and won Linda.

Timyra-Joi, though, wins for most bizarre person to come along to your audition. I'd like to see a separate reality show about Timyra-Joi's vocal coach since the age of 5 (she's 15 now), Leigh. I mean, wow. Leigh has this tiny little body with Dolly Parton boobs, a cat-lady-like face, and huge crimped blonde hair. Leigh stopped charging Timyra-Joi's family for music lessons and even took them in for a while when her dad lost his job. And whatever she taught Timyra-Joi worked great, because the young teen had quite a mature voice, singing "Girl on Fire." Christina struck her button first, and at the last second, Blake and Cee Lo joined her, but this was totally a Team Xtina girl.

In the 'average' department tonight were Ray Boudreaux, a 25-year-old father from Louisiana who landed on Blake's team after a "swampy" performance of Bill Withers' "Use Me." Cee Lo took on Juhi, a 16-year-old from Tennessee who was spunky and cute but sounded awfully copycat on Duffy's "Mercy." Adam was the only one to turn around for hardcore country singer Justin Blake, whose job is to escort trailers that are moving mobile homes, and who sang a Blake Shelton song; Adam didn't even know the song was Blake's. George Horga, Jr., whose parents are from Romania, won over Cee Lo with the "energy from the audience" during his serviceable rendition of Bruno Mars' "Treasure."

And finally, Preston Pohl, a 26-year-old from Texas, who was in a Christian band until his band-mate died. He sang "Electric Feel," one of Cee Lo's "favorite songs of all time." Adam was impressed that Preston "turned it into a Marvin song—you turned that into 'Let's Get it On'" Blake spun around, too, but this guy was totally in Adam's palm after that compliment.
Team Cee Lo: 7
Team Xtina: 8
Team Adam: 7
Team Blake: 7
