Rated 5 out of 5 by LacyL from Wonderful flavor, no bitterness I love my French press because it keeps the coffee warm and it does not burn, of course, as in a regular pot on a warmer for 2 hours. That said, I thought I was doing well until I tried this collection. WOW! There is no bitterness, what I don't drink, I save and make iced coffee with my coconut milk later in the day, and it is really, really, good! Follow the directions, 4 minutes to brew, and you will have the best coffee you ever drank from a French press!Date published: 2014-08-09

Trend Spotting for 2013: Polka Dots
See what I did there? In fashion and in interiors, polka dots (and spots) are everywhere. They're graphic and bold and eye-catching and playful — just the thing to perk up a pillow (or a whole wall).
A little bit of polka dots will work even in a fairly staid interior, as in image 14. If you're planning on using a lot of spots or polka dots, keep the color palette in the room fairly simple to keep things from getting too overwhelming (as in the office in image 4, or the emerald and black and white stair hall shown above). Or go bold and pair polka dots with other prints for a pattern on pattern look.
1. Polka dots as art, with a colorful table, as seen in Vogue.
2. Oversized foil dots in a nursery from Design*Sponge.
3. Gold polka-dots add a subtle graphic touch to the back of a bookcase, as seen in Lonny.
4. A dalmation-spotted wallpaper is glam with a gold accents in this office from Paloma 81.
5. Irrregularly spaced polka dots (actually tiny hexagons, if you look closely enough) are modern and playful, especially grouped with other graphic patterns. Bed linens and image by OYOY.

Casual fine dining takes off in Tokyo
Tokyo has more fine dining establishments than any other city in the world -- many have haute price tags to match the haute cuisine.
The average cost of the food alone at high-end restaurants is around 15,000 yen (US$158), and at a really high-end place, that figure can double.
Factor in wine (typically starting at 10,000 yen a bottle) and service charge (10 percent), and you can see why some visitors to the city are turned off.
But things are starting to change.
A handful of recently opened casual fine dining restaurants, helmed by talented young chefs, is serving creative cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere -- and you won't wince when you get the check at the end of the meal.
L'As opened in February 2012 and quickly became one of the city's hottest eateries.
Owner and chef Daisuke Kaneko, formerly of Quand L'appetit Va tout Va, has capitalized on the lack of Tokyo restaurants offering high-level food at an affordable price.
"A lot of restaurants are struggling right now, but I thought we'd be able to attract customers with good food at a reasonable price," he says.
The simple decor mirrors the restaurant's minimalist concept. Inside, there's a wall of natural stone and a clutch of wooden tables surrounding the open kitchen.
As at Relae in Copenhagen, cutlery is hidden in a drawer beneath your right hand.
The chef takes an even simpler approach to service: everyone gets the same seven-course tasting menu for 5,250 yen/US$55 (a steal by Tokyo standards), which changes every two weeks.
More on CNN: Asia's 10 best restaurants
Kaneko's cooking is a genre-blurring version of contemporary French that utilizes seasonal Japanese ingredients. In spring, the chef poaches fat spears of white asparagus in clear tomato concentrate and then garnishes the dish with locally grown herbs and flower petals.
Summer brings an earthy risotto dotted with whole hikaru-ika (firefly squid) the size of gumdrops, and slices of roasted lamb nestled against discs of pan-fried nagaimo (mountain yam).
Like all things at L'As, the food displays artful efficiency. A succulent pigeon pie, beside a puddle of jus enriched with the bird's liver, is wrapped in printed butcher's paper and eaten with the hands. A dish of fried scallops and baby corn fritters is crowned with a sweet tangle of raw corn silk..
The restaurant is typically booked two weeks in advance for dinner, but be prepared to wait even longer for weekend lunch reservations.
5-16-5 Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku; +81 (0)3 3406 0880; www.las-minamiaoyama.com
L'Alchimiste in Shirokane was one of the first restaurants to bring casual fine dining to Tokyo.
Owner and chef Kenichi Yamamoto was inspired by his experience working at Le Chateubriand -- a Parisian neo-bistro that enjoys cult-like devotion among fans around the world -- and opened his restaurant in July 2011.
His mission was to banish the stuffy atmosphere common at many of Japan's fine dining restaurants without compromising high standards. Instead of dripping chandeliers and subdued shades of black and gray, L'Alchimiste features an open kitchen and playful lilac seats, lit by chic, single-bulb fixtures.
He points out that the concept behind L'Alchimiste, which he describes as "pop gastronomy," has two meanings: "It refers to both 'popular' in the sense of 'for the ordinary people' as well as the fun, 'pop' image you get from the dishes and the whole restaurant."
More on CNN: Tokyo restaurant dishes up the dirt
Yamamoto's delicate presentations and refined cooking style reflect his classical French training. Plump langoustine tails, astride painterly stripes of blood orange emulsion, are accompanied by charred Brussels sprouts.
Beneath its crispy caramel surface, the melt-in-your-mouth mango crème brûlée conceals a rich foie gras mousse.
The chef doesn't limit himself to dainty dishes on his 10-course tasting menu, priced at 7,875 yen (US$83). A juicy steak bavette, cooked rare and served with a sorrel sauce, is a hearty match for the restaurant's excellent list of mostly natural and biodynamic wines.
Shirokane 1-25-26, Minato-ku; +81 3 5422 7358; www.alchimiste.jp
The newest addition to Tokyo's casual fine dining scene, 81 opened in November 2012 in Ikebukuro -- an area more commonly associated with ramen shops and karaoke bars than haute cuisine.
The restaurant aims higher than its neighbors and offers modern international cuisine, prepared with a light touch by Chilean chef Francisco Araya.
The eight-seat 81 is the brainchild of Takeshi Nagashima, who started dreaming of opening his own restaurant after a stint at elBulli in Spain, where he met Araya and sommelier Julieta Piñon, who is in charge of wine service.
"I wanted to open a different kind of place with a more international view," Nagashima says.
At 29, Araya is too young to remember the Chinese chicken salad and Teriyaki filet mignon that gave Asian fusion a bad name.
The food is a playful mix of Latin American, European and Asian influences, made with high-quality produce sourced mainly from Japan. Bite-sized empanadas, filled with beef broth and served with miso mayonnaise, pop in your mouth like xiao long bao soup dumplings.
More on CNN: The best sushi restaurants in Tokyo
A simple plate of raw tuna cubes, lightly coated in sesame dressing and arranged around a starfish-shaped mousse of coconut cream, draws philosophical inspiration from chefs like Andoni Aduriz of Spain's Mugaritz, where Araya apprenticed before elBulli.
Traditional dishes are given a new twist: fluffy gnocchi the size of mini-marshmallows are made with Parmesan cheese and kudzu root, then topped with fresh pesto and micro-tomatoes.
A dish of creamy, truffle-scented mashed potatoes and foie gras (a great match for the Dom Perignon that accompanies it) comes in a sealed jam jar to preserve the aroma.
The 12,000 yen (US$128) price tag for 81's eight-course tasting menu includes a flight of five wines to go with each dish.

State gun control 'going full speed ahead'
HARTFORD -- While three legislative subcommittees and an advisory panel for the governor continue to investigate possible new laws in the wake of the Newtown massacre, a key committee is on track to adopt a series of gun-control measures.
The centerpiece of the legislation would expand the definition of prohibited assault weapons to include the Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle that Adam Lanza used to kill 20 first-graders and six adults in Sandy Hook Elementary School.
A ban on large-capacity magazines is a companion bill, along with legislation requiring the safekeeping of firearms; prohibiting rebuilt assault weapons; and the requirement of criminal background checks before all firearm sales.
Rep. Gerald M. Fox III, D-Stamford, co-chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee, said the panel will schedule public hearings on the proposals, which could be tailored further as recommendations come from legislative leaders on the 50-member Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety.
"We're going to be full speed ahead," Fox said, noting that about 130 proposals have been raised in the committee for public hearings in early March.
"Some of the gun bills are Republican proposals and some are Democrat and we'll see what we can do," he said in an interview in the Capitol complex. Fox said that since the legislative group and the governor's Sandy Hook Advisory Committee have yet to present legislative initiatives, the Judiciary Committee will continue to move its own bills.
"We waited for a while, but our deadline is approaching to raise bills," Fox said. "Right now we just proceed the way we would normally proceed."
Fox on Tuesday morning presided over a news conference in which the nonprofit Connecticut Against Gun Violence announced that more than 350 religious groups and 48 other groups have joined in support of tougher gun laws.
Robert Crook, executive director of Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, the group that unsuccessfully challenged the state's 1993 ban on assault weapons, said Tuesday that the Legislature is wrong to penalize lawful gun owners for Adam Lanza's crimes.
He criticized a proposal to make handgun licenses one-year-long rather than the current five years. "That's going to cost money and effort on the part of the State Police," he said.
He said that Connecticut already has universal background checks for all handgun sales, but he opposes expanding it to include rifle purchases between private owners.
"If somebody will tell me what having an over-10-round magazine is going to prohibit, I'm all ears," Crook said after the CAGV event. "It's not going to prohibit Sandy Hook?" said Crook, a veteran of the elite Special Forces during the Vietnam War. "So what is it going to prohibit?"

Joe Perry on Aerosmith: 'I Have No Idea How it Works'
Steven Tyler and Joe Perry's relationship is one of rock's great wonders, but the pair have managed to pull it together once again in time for Aerosmith to release new music and tour this summer. When asked about the oft-contentious relationship, Perry tells the Boston Herald he's as puzzled as fans and critics.
"I have no idea how it works," the guitarist says in a recent interview. "With Aerosmith, we put one foot in front of the other and hope for the best." Both men take responsibility for the public arguing and name-calling, but Tyler doesn't seem surprised that after ten years he and Perry were able to put aside their differences to write music for 'Music From Another Dimension.' He says their working relationship is like fine wine.
"It's the same bottle man," Tyler says, "we just corked it. Everything that was cooking inside and fermenting to that just right year just happened to be now. It was the perfect time."
Many of the songs on the new album — in stores Aug. 28 — are a decade in the making. Perry says some of the riffs were written in 2002, not long after releasing 'Just Push Play,' their last album of new material. New music is critical to their survival.
"There are bands that don't talk to each other for five years, and then get back together and go out and play their songs and they turn into the best cover band of their own songs," Perry says. "That's fine and well, but for us it will be always changing. We've been trying to write this record for 10 years, and we finally did."
As for the in-fighting. It seems that after every calm comes another storm, but that's a good thing. "With great pressure comes great diamonds," Tyler says.

Orlando Bloom Breaks Silence on Miranda Kerr Separation
Orlando Bloom sits down for an interview with Katie Couric airing on Katie's November 1 episode.
The 36-year-old actor talked about his separation from wife Miranda Kerr, as well as his starring role in Broadway's Romeo and Juliet.
"We love each other. We're a family. We're going to be in each others lives for the rest of our lives," Orlando said. "There's no question, for the sake of our son and everything else, we're going to support one another and love each other as parents to Flynn. Life sometimes doesn't work out exactly as we plan or hope for, but fortunately we're adults. I'm 36 now, she's 30 and we're professionals and we love and care about each other and we most of all love our son."

Cynthia Kane Bender, 77, of Pocono Pines died Thursday, Jan. 31, of complications from chemotherapy for colon cancer at the Geisinger Wyoming Medical Center in Wilkes-Barre.
She was a vacation resident of Lake Naomi in Pocono Pines for nearly 40 years and was a full-time resident for the past three years.
Cynthia was an avid golfer and tennis player. She will be remembered for her endless energy, enthusiasm, sense of humor, love for life, and the selfless giving of herself to others. She made the community a better place. On her refrigerator, was a 3-by-5-inch card on which she had written "You have never really lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you."
As one person said about her, "She brought sunshine into a dark room, love to people who felt ignored, and a spirit of "let's get it done" to people who needed a boost. She will remain a spirit of support and guidance to me, wherever I go."
Cynthia was a longtime resident of Swarthmore, where she was active in Swarthmore Presbyterian Church serving multiple terms as an elder and a deacon. She sang in the choir and was a Stephen minister. She was active in the community serving on the boards of the Swarthmore Swim Club and Swarthmore Recreational Association.
Born on Aug. 17, 1935, Cynthia was the daughter of Rosamond and Gibbs Kane of West Chester. She was a graduate of Wilmington (Delaware) Friends School and Lasell College, and attended Tufts University and the University of Iowa.
Cynthia is survived by her husband, Douglas, four children, Kane of West Chester, Jeffrey of Atlanta, Ga., Jonathan of Lake Mary, Fla., and Kimberly of Ivyland, Bucks County; four grandchildren, John, Forrest, Leighton and Ali; and a sister, Meredith Tolsdorf of West Chester.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Swarthmore Presbyterian Church. A second memorial service will be held on June 14 at the Salem United Church of Christ.
In lieu of flowers, her friends in the Poconos may make donations in her memory to the Salem United Church of Christ, P.O. Box 1047, Pocono Pines, PA 18350. For others, Cynthia requested that donations in her name be made to the PEO's Cottey College, c/o PEO Chapter P, 419 Riverview Road, Swarthmore, PA 19081, with the donations to be used to create a fund in her name; or the Swarthmore Presbyterian Church, 727 Harvard Ave., Swarthmore, PA 19081.

Patna: Chhath worshippers, who are still under shock following the stampede at Adalatghat on the bank of the Ganga here in which 17 persons lost their lives, blamed the district administration for "poor arrangement".
Prem Kumar, a worshipper, said there was inadequate arrangement to accommodate the large crowd of devotees that throng the ghat which had never witnessed a tragedy like this.
Jaiprakash Bharti of Bhojpur district, who had come with his family to offer obeisance to the Sun God during the Chhath festival, said that the narrow pathway between the Adalatghat and the road outside were to blame for the stampede.
"The pathway should be broadened into a road by next year if a stampede of this scale needs to be prevented," Bharti said.
The usual bustle was missing Tuesday morning at the Adalatghat with most of the worshippers outside Patna preferring not to visit the ghat and paid their obeisance elsewhere.
An aged woman, Nita Devi, blamed inadequate security arrangement at the Adalatghat to manage the swelling crowd.
The stampede occurred after the worshippers, mostly women and children, began to run for their lives after word spread that the narrow pontoon bridge had been electrocuted, which turned to be false.
Kumar said that he was fortunate to survive the tragedy as he chose to stay put at the ghat 10 minutes before the stampede occurred.
A Patna resident Amit Kumar said that he was so traumatised after watching the scene at the Adalatghat that he did not take his children out this morning.

PORT ARTHUR, Texas, July 23, 2013 -- Capt. Ryan Ancelet, who has been running boats in the waters around Port Arthur, Texas, since he was 10-years old, is ready, willing and able to help boaters who run into trouble when they are fishing in Sabine Lake or the Gulf of Mexico, navigating local rivers or cruising the ICW.
SEaTex, the marine services company that Ryan owns with his brother Matt, has joined the nationwide BoatUS on the water assistance network as an official "listed tower." That means SEaTex will provide towing services 24-hours a day, 365-days a year to members with annual on the water boat towing plans, as well as offering assistance to any boater needing a little routine help, including battery jumps, soft ungroundings and fuel drop-offs. Boaters can contact SEaTex in Port Arthur by hailing on VHF channel 16, calling the local office at 409-724-7288,calling the BoatUS toll-free 24/7 Dispatch Service at 800-391-4869, or via smartphone with the free BoatUS Towing App. BoatUS is also the only towing service that offers satellite messaging services with the SPOT and InReach satellite communications services. To see SEaTex's on a map, go to BoatUS.com/portarthur.
Much like an auto club for recreational boaters, TowBoatUS offers an on the water towing service plan for salt waters that costs just $149 a year and includes Boat Owners Association of The United States or BoatUS Angler membership. Six-pack charter fishing and delivery captains have a commercial towing plan available for $281. Without a towing plan, boat owners face out-of-pocket costs that nationally average about $600 per incident, or $250 per hour. More information can be found at BoatUS.com/towing or call 800-888-4869.
The Ancelet name is well known in Southeast Texas. Ryan and his brother own Ancelet's Cajun Market and Ancelet's Marina, which is located under the Rainbow Bridge in Port Arthur. The marina has a launch ramp, boat slips, a seasonal restaurant with live music every Saturday night, and is homeport for SEaTex's towboats. The brothers started SEaTex about four years ago to transport supplies, equipment and personnel to ships and offshore oil rigs. About two years ago they began the recreational boat towing business. Joining the BoatUS fleet was the next logical step.
"The marine industry is in my blood, and I love helping people," said Ryan, who holds a 100-ton Master License from the US Coast Guard and runs the on the water end of the business. The company has two towboats – a 30-foot aluminum boat powered by twin 200-horsepower Suzuki outboards and a 21-foot aluminum response vessel powered by twin 90-horsepower Suzukis. Both boats have dark blue hulls and beige wheelhouses and are fully rigged for towing and salvage, with powerful pumps, battery jump packs, dive gear and extra fuel. SEaTex can easily assist boaters on inland waterways, Sabine Lake and up to 25 miles in the Gulf of Mexico.
While Port Arthur is a major commercial port with oil refineries and LNG facilities, the area, including Sabine Lake, is one of the best fishing spots along the Texas Gulf Coast. Other nearby TowBoatUS ports are located in Lake Charles, LA and in Texas at Clear Lake, San Luis Pass, Freeport, Port O'Connor and inland at Lake Conroe.
Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) is the nation's leading advocate for recreational boaters providing over half a million members with a wide array of consumer services, including on the water towing assistance provided by TowBoatUS and Vessel Assist. Combined, these two towing fleets offer boaters, anglers and sailors the world's largest network of towing ports with over 300 locations and over 600 towing assistance vessels — three times larger than the closest competitor.

NJ Lets Golden Nugget Offer Full Internet Gambling
The Golden Nugget can start offering Internet gambling in New Jersey as of midnight.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement cleared the casino on Friday.
Regulators kept the Golden Nugget restricted to trial play when six other casinos were cleared to begin offering full online gambling on Nov. 25.
The Golden Nugget said it was working out glitches with its system and would not open until it was ready to give its customers a first-class experience.
It will be the seventh of Atlantic City's 12 casinos to offer Internet gambling. The Borgata, the two Trump casinos, the Tropicana, Bally's and Caesars currently offer it.
Resorts also has been cleared to offer it, but its online partner, PokerStars, has been barred from Internet gambling in New Jersey for two years.

Boom Goes the Dynamite: 02.15.09Posted by nvr1983 on February 15th, 2009
Welcome back to another edition of Boom Goes the Dynamite. I'm back as your semi-regular host after a day off with John Stevens covering for me. Today is a kind of weird day of basketball with the best games later in the day going head-to-head against the NBA All-Star game. So hopefully everyone will be sticking with us throughout the day and the real basketball fans (the ones who actually like defense and competition) will stay with us into the night.
1:00 PM: Our early games today are Illinois at Indiana on CBS and Clemson at Virginia on ESPN Full Court and ESPN360.com. We'll be updating you with highlights of those games throughout the day, but like always if there is something going on that we are missing or we make a mistake leave us a message in the comment section.
1:10 PM: Illinois is up 10-7 early. Bruce Weber's club must be riding high after their amazing comeback at Northwestern in their last game. Clemson is tied 3-3 in Charlottesville with 15:54 left in the first half. I'm guessing today is Sean Singletary day at UVA today based on the parts of the pre-game that I caught. Singletary, a 3-time 1st team All-ACC player, is one of three players in ACC history (Danny Ferry and Johnny Dawkins being the others) to have 2,000 career points, 500 career assists, and 400 career rebounds.
1:25 PM: Illinois is up 15-7 as we go to a TV timeout. CBS just showed a graphic about Indiana's tough losses this year by featuring the games they led, but lost. You know the Hooisers are having a bad year when having a lead of 2 points at some point during the game is highlighted as a tough loss. Meanwhile, UVA is up 16-7 with 11:54 as they head into a timeout as well.
1:30 PM: I just noticed the electronic board on the side of the court at Assembly Hall. I guess it's a nice fan friendly feature and probably generates some revenue through ads, but I think it looks horrendous in this famous arena. I haven't noticed it at Cameron Indoor, but I think they should avoid it in the historic arenas.
1:40 PM: Jeff Jordan just hit a jumper for Illinois. As we noted before, he was recently was given a scholarship at Illinois. For those of you who haven't seen him play, we think you might have missed his only big play of the day if his performance this season is any indication of what we can expect today. He'll probably be out there quite a bit since Indiana is awful so watch for #13 on Illinois.
1:45 PM: UVA is up 22-16 coming out of a timeout with 5:11 left in the first half. Illinois is up 27-13 with a little less than 5 minutes left in the first half. I'll be focusing on the UVA-Clemson game for now unless the Illinois-Indiana game gets interesting.
1:55 PM: UVA is up 33-25 at half. That 3 by Terrence Oglesby with a little over a minute left in the first half was Clemson's first of the day after the Tigers missed their first 10 straight. The Cavaliers might have a chance if the Tigers continue to have difficulty hitting from the outside. Trevor Booker has had a big first half with 10 of Clemson's 25 points, but it wasn't enough as none of the other Tigers are playing well today. Illinois is up 38-21 at half.

LOS ANGELES -- Tony Scott, director of blockbusters Top Gun and Days of Thunder, jumped to his death Sunday from the Vincent Thomas Bridge, authorities said.
According to the Associated Press, Scott, 68, climbed a fence on the bridge and jumped around 12:30 p.m. One report quoted a coroner's report that said Scott jumped "without hesitation."
U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Jennifer Osburn told the Daily Breeze that a suicide note was found inside Scott's black Toyota Prius, which was parked on one of the eastbound lanes of the bridge.
Scott was director of Tom Cruise's Top Gun, as well as Beverly Hills Cop II and the remake of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.
Known for his trademark red baseball cap, the British-born Scott was the brother of director Ridley Scott, and the two shared producing credits on the CBS dramas The Good Wife and NUMB3RS.
alh1020: He also directed The Last Boy Scout, True Romance, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, Spy Game, Man on Fire and Deja Vu to mention a few more along with a slew of other famous top of the line TV programs he was the executive producer for. Sad loss.

LEXINGTON, Va. — The Washington and Lee baseball team held Roanoke to six runs in a doubleheader sweep on Saturday at Cap'n Dick Smith Field. While the pitching staff stymied the Maroons (9-14, 2-6 ODAC), the Generals' (12-9, 6-3 ODAC) offense powered the team to a 10-4 victory in game one and an 8-2 win in the second game.
Senior Ian Shaw (Atlanta, Ga./Riverwood) nearly pitched a complete game in the opener, going 8.2 innings. He allowed four unearned runs with only one walk to improve to 4-1 on the season. Junior Jake Rudolph (Cordova, Tenn./Memphis University School) came on and got final out.
The offense tallied five runs in the first three innings, and then scored the final five in the seventh and the eighth. In opening inning, senior Will Salley (Augusta, Ga./Westside) plated the first tally on a wild pitch, and then junior Keegan Dolan (Bethesda, Md./Landon) doubled in a run. Senior Jonathan Stutts (Charlotte, N.C./Charlotte Country Day) pushed the lead to 4-1 on a two-run home run to left, which marked the sixth of the year for the shortstop.
After adding a score in the third, the Blue and White went scoreless the next three innings. In the seventh, Dolan registered his second RBI double to stretch the advantage to 6-1. Two errors and a passed ball allowed the Generals to plate four runs in the bottom of the eighth (10-2).
Roanoke scored its final two runs (both unearned) in the ninth on a RBI double by Cam Cassady (Vienna, Va./James Madison), and a one-run single by Bradley Mattox (Vinton, Va./William Byrd). Cameron Holshouser (Salem, Va./Glenvar) suffered the loss for the Maroons, after pitching just 3.0 innings. He gave up five runs on four hits and walked three to fall to 2-4.
In game two, the two squads were tied 1-1 through the first five and a half innings. The Generals broke the game open in the bottom of the sixth. After a hit by pitch and a walk, W&L executed a hit and run with pinch hitter Joe Scalzo (Ridgefield, Conn./Brunswick) knocking a single through the right side to score Dolan (2-1).
Following a sacrifice bunt, Stutts was intentionally walked to load the bases. Salley then walked to force in a run and the Maroons brought in Jacob McMillan (Vinton, Va./William Byrd) to try and stop the rally. Sophomore Drew Weprinsky (Atlanta, Ga./Westminster) had other ideas, as he doubled to left to drive in two more to push the lead to 5-1.
The Generals tallied their final tallies of the game in the eighth on a RBI single by Weprinsky, and a two-RBI double by Dolan to reach the final margin of 8-2.
Junior Nate Plein (El Cajon, Calif./St. Augustine) started the game and went 6.0 innings. He struck out four, while allowing one run to improve to 4-1. Tyler Grouten (Avon, Conn./Avon) took the loss to fall to 2-4. He gave up five runs on six hits in 5.1 innings.
The Generals return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Bridgewater for a 4:00 pm game.

Dec. 11, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT women's basketball team fell to host Regis College, 62-30, on Wednesday night. Clara Yuan paced the Engineers (3-5) with 10 points and two assists while Jamie Simmons contributed nine points and two assists. Kristen Whaley totaled seven rebounds and five points as Cheryl Kwinn collected a team-high 10 boards.
The Cardinal and Gray opened the game with back-to-back three-pointers by Yuan and Simmons. MIT enjoyed a slight advantage until a pair of free throws by Kim Mariotti put the Pride up, 8-7, midway through the half. The Engineers regained the edge on a jumper by Yuan on their next possession, but Regis was successful on its next trip at the charity stripe, going ahead, 10-9, over a minute later. Alice Yeh's basket gave MIT its final lead as a pair of free throws from Laura Sears sparked a 17-4 run that resulted in a 27-15 advantage. A three-point play by Whaley during the final minute narrowed the gap to nine (27-18) at the break.
The Pride opened the second half with a 10-2 run which was followed by a basket from Whaley, making the score 37-22 at the 14:47 mark. Regis slowly increased its margin, capitalizing on a seven-minute scoring drought by MIT from the floor. Back-to-back jumpers by Simmons ended the stretch, but the Engineers could not overcome deficit.

Hi all,
I currently run a small IRC server (irc.website.com). irc.website.com resolves to 10.20.30.40. The IRC server has the following stuff in it (/home/website):
passwd (linked in .htaccess)
Under /public_html is a sub-folder called logs, which has two folders: channel-logs and private-logs. The .htaccess file is under /public_html/logs. Here's the stuff in it:
AuthName "Enter Password"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/website/passwd
Require valid-user
I have a VirtualHost set up for irclogs.website.com (I have to distribute this link to others) that uses the .htaccess info to log in. However, when irc.website.com is typed, it prompts me for a username/password, and uses the .htaccess file under /public_html/logs.
NameVirtualHost 10.20.30.40:80

Basically, I don't want "irc.website.com" to be accessible from the browser. I only want that to be used when users are connecting to the IRC server. I'm not too good with VirtualHosts (still getting the hang of it). OS = Ubuntu with Apache2.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Any guesses/ideas? I'm willing to try anything at this point.

In remembrance of those who served and gave their lives for our country, I am re-posting my father's 2008 blog post about the speech he delivered on Memorial Day, 1987, at the Watervliet cemetery. The photo above is of the Memorial Day parade in Watervliet, not long after WWII. My Uncle Dick is second from the left.
--Karen Stock (Jim's daughter)
May 25, 2008
During my professional career I made a lot of speeches, mostly about energy. But the last, best and probably shortest speech I ever made was at the Watervliet Cemetery on Memorial Day 1987:
--Karen Stock (Jim's daughter)
May 25, 2008
During my professional career I made a lot of speeches, mostly about energy. But the last, best and probably shortest speech I ever made was at the Watervliet Cemetery on Memorial Day 1987:
I seriously doubt whether I can get through this program without breaking down, so strong are my feelings for this cemetery, this town, this state and this nation.
Buried in this cemetery is my great-grandfather, who came to Michigan before it was a state 150 years ago. And buried in this sacred plot is a native American veteran of World War I whose ancestors lived in this beautiful peninsula for a thousand years.
Up there is the grave of Uriah Wood, Watervliet's last living Civil War veteran. He survived the horrors of the Confederate's Andersonville Prison knowing that his sacrifices were not in vain, since his war ended slavery and preserved the Union. In my mind's eye, I can still see Mr. Wood as a white-haired, feeble old man, dressed in blue, riding in the back of an open touring car in the late 1920's or early 1930's. It was called "Decoration Day" then---and then we could decorate the graves of the veterans of but three wars---the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World War I.
Back in 1868, General John A. Logan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, which was the Union veterans' equivalent of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, designated May 30 of that year "...for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion and with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year." May 30 was known as Decoration Day until 1882 when the G.A.R. urged that the proper designation be "Memorial Day". By that time, however, the term Decoration Day was fixed in the people's vocabulary.
I suppose it is an apt commentary on our times and values that by Congressional decree Memorial Day is now observed on the last Monday in May rather than May 30 each year, so that people and commerce can benefit from a three-day weekend in which to do just about anything other than honor this country's war dead. However, by whatever name or on whichever day, I am proud to be in my hometown on the 120th of these days which are set aside to decorate the graves and remember and honor those who served their country---and most especially those who gave up their lives in that service.
One of my most poignant memories of this day is that of watching and hearing my father, the first Commander of Watervliet's American Legion Post, reading the names of all the town's deceased veterans---three names at a time---pausing after each three while the bass drum sounded three solemn, mournful beats. Each year throughout my childhood, until it came time for me to go away to college and then to my own war, the list grew longer and longer; as it has each of the forty-odd years since I left Watervliet.
I remember as a grade school kid walking with my schoolmates---spring flowers in hand---along old US12 from the old school house to the cemetery; with a stop at the bridge down there to throw some of our flowers into the water of Mill Creek in honor of the sailors who died for their country. How proudly our local police stopped all traffic between Detroit and Chicago to allow the people of little Watervliet to parade in honor or their departed veterans.
I remember marching in parades with the Watervliet High School band in our maroon and white uniforms--and that the best trumpet player always had the honor of playing "Taps" for the cemetery ceremonies. I especially remember after I became a veteran myself, marching with the American Legion firing squads and honor guards--with two generations of proud ex-soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen--brothers, cousins, friends and comrades-in-arms.
With all of these memories I am particulaly grateful to the new Veterans of Foreign Wars post for reviving and preserving this fine and patriotic tradition.
Two hundred eleven years ago this summer, in 1776, the American Colonies declared their indpendence from Great Britain---but it took six more years of struggling, starving, fighting and dying by Washington's soldiers to make that declaration stick.
However, the overthrow of tyranny does not automatically create a viable nation or even lasting freedom, as we have often seen to our bitter disappointment. In their revolution, the Russians escaped the tyranny of the Czars only to be ensnared in a worse tyranny, that of Communism under Stalin. The Cubans overthrew the dictator Batista only to fall victim to the dictatorship of Castro. The Nicaraguans overthrew the dictator Somoza only to have their revolution pre-empted by the Communist Sandinistas. These are but a few of many examples throughout history of revolutions gone awry.
After our revolution Americans were either uncommonly lucky or uncommonly blessed, it seems to me, when in 1787 the 13 newly independent but weak and quarelling states chose their wisest men to gather in convention in Philadelphia to work out a framework of a republic, based on democracy, as an alternative to chaos or monarchy. The resulting document is our precious Constitution, and this year we thankfully celebrate its 200th birthday and its continuing vitality.
Although the Constitution created a nation, by itself it could not preserve that nation in the face of the awful dilemma of slavery. As was the case with the birth of this country, the preservation of the resulting union required the shedding of blood in armed conflict among men and armies. It should be remembered that the Civil War of 1861-1865 cost more American lives than any war since--percentage-wise far more. But although a civil war is a particularly bitter type of war, our Civil War--or the War Between the States, if you are of southern heritage--at least had lasting benefits. Slavery was abolished (though discrimination and racism persist). The union of the states which makes our country great was preserved (although crisis after crisis seems to be our national way of life).
As I have said, Uriah Wood and Watervliet's many other Civil War veterans who are buried here had the satisfaction, pride and peace that comes from knowing their struggles were not in vain. They did much permanent good for their county; and, by example, for the world
Contrast that with the situation of the Vietnam veterans. Much has been said and written about the futility if the sacrifices of our Vietnam veterans, but not having been able to share their experience, or to know first hand their anger and frustration, neither I nor others of my generation are really qualified to pass judgement on the worth of their sacrifices.
But what about those who 70 years ago in World War I fought "The War to End All Wars", the "War to Make the World Safe for Democracy", and then little more than two decades later endured the heartbreak of sending their sons to fight and die in an even more deadly war against the most powerful totalitarian forces ever assembled?
What about those patriotic and eager Spanish-American War volunteers who in 1898 fought yellow fever and the Spaniards to liberate Cuba and the Phillipines? What would they think today about Communist Cuba or the Phillipines in chaos?
And what about the veterans of the Korean conflict? In 1945, I was with the U.S. occupation troops in Korea which expelled the Japanese after their defeat in World War II. That year, Korea was split in two at the 38th parallel--communists to the north, non-communist to the south--Russians occupying the north, Americans occupying the south. Yet only five years later after victorious, triumphant, foolish America had naively dismantled the mightiest military force in world history, out-numbered, out-gunned American soldiers were rertreating and fighting for their lives in Korea in a war they were not allowed to win--a war which was was not even dignified by being called a war.
What about the veterans of my war, World War II? We are probably most like the Civil War veterans in that we knew why we were fighting--for survival and to keep civilization from being submerged in totalitarian madness. Also we saw some real results--the destruction of German Nazism, Italian Fascism and Japanese Imperialism were triumphs of gigantic historical magnitude.
Our generation dared not fail in war, but let us hope that history does not find that we failed in peace.
Thus far, I have spoken about veterans who survived their wars and lived to remember and to learn what became of their cause. But what about those who did not live to become veterans, but who instead died violently in battle, or agonizingly from wounds or gas, or miserably from sickness which often killed more soldiers than lead or gunpowder or shrapnel? Surely nothing could have--or ever did--erase the hurt and sorrow and grieving of those whose sons died for their country. But who is to say that such a death, in the vigor of youth, fighting for a cause or fighting for each other is, after all is said and done, a worse fate than that faced by many survivors? True, they were denied the unmatchable pleasure of watching their children grow and the joy of grandchildren. But also they were spared many sorrows and miseries. Having died young as the consequence of war or service to their country, they could not die of the ravages of tuberculosis or cancer, or miserably abandoned in old age, or from alcoholism, drugs or A.I.D.S.
It can certainly be argued that many did die in vain, particularly those who died in the long Vietnam agony. But do those tens of thousands killed year after year in automobile accidents not also die in vain? What has been accomplished by their deaths? At least those who died for their country's cause (whether history judges that cause to be just or unjust or merely irrelevant) died for something, not for nothing! And they deserve to be remembered. That we are here today proves that they are remembered and that they are honored.
Thank you.

Jason M Silverman
EDIT: Jason works across a variety of market verticals, so to really target any one specifically limits him significantly. Instead, we came up with the concept that what Jason really does is to reveal to his clients huge potential sources of income and revenue in their existing business that they had not seen before. Jason does this by focusing on assisting business owners in systematizing and franchising their businesses. In looking around some logo galleries, we found a concept that we really want to work with - it's the concept of having "hidden" imagery embedded within the primary image. See the logo gallery below…
Specifically, I want to bring your attention to the icon with the deer and the hunters in the legs, "Serpentine Medical", "Black Cat", and "Water Drop".
IMPORTANT: We want to work with just Jason's name (Jason M. Silverman), and then we want to create an illusion that relates to what he does… ideas for imagery to "hide" would include:
- A dart hitting a bullseye
- An arrow hitting a bullseye
- Perhaps just an arrow
- Crosshairs (hopefully so it does not look overly paramilitary)
- Perhaps moving gears
- A conveyor belt
I am a ruggedly handsome, well educated (school wise and school of hard knocks wise), straight shooting marketing / business / success coach. I work with biz owners to help them extract more success out of their businesses and their lives. Obviously my business is an online / phone-based consulting biz.
I want to be known as somebody with knowledge, wisdom, and the ability to teach success - somebody who gets it! - I can quickly, easily, and effectively show you what you've been overlooking for years and years...then help you develop a strategic and tactical plan to capitalize upon it. I love having the opportunity to help people extract the hidden fortune from their business by helping them to discover other fun and exciting biz opportunities that they've overlooked.
I want people to feel confident that I can help them, comfortable that I know what the F I'm talking about, and yet feel like I'd be a great guy to grab a beer with (which is entirely possible if they jump into a mastermind group)
Target market is upwardly mobile 30-somethings who have already achieved a nice level of success and realize that they can achieve much more...with the right guidance. I prefer to work with men as I feel I can be more straightforward with them without hurting their feelings and need to deal with crying. I'm open to the entire US and Canada and possibly the UK.
My best customer is somebody who is already successful, but wants to take it to the next level. He or she is young enough to understand technology and not be afraid of leveraging it and old enough to have the maturity to realize the value of somebody like me.
I enjoy working with successful, motivated, interesting, hard working / hard playing people...who get the joke!
Vector based.
ABSOLUTELY must be your own work!!!!

Have you had any other strange happenings in your house? Have you paid attention to wierd things? You may want to start. Quite often that feeling of being watched is a sign that there may be some activity in your home (or you have a peeping tom). Try taking some photos around the house and see if you get anything. Also try with a tape recorder to talk to the spirit and see if you get anything. Do you have a cam corder with IR?? If so, set it up to record after going to bed some night and see if you capture anything. Just a few suggestions. Hope they can be of some use. ;D

Me and Mr. J have not been alone for more than a few hours since child #2 entered this mortal coil. His super cool aunt from Columbus watched the kids this weekend while we had some time for romance and goofing around the city. We didn't have a ton of money to drop on a vacation so we hung out at the Country Inn & Suites, got a king suite with a jacuzzi-(so nice for so little $) and I made sushi.
My rolling skills aren't that great, but that didn't affect the flavor. I made rolls with spiced plum sauce tofu, avocado, red pepper, and cukes.
On Saturday we went to the Columbus Museum of Art--so much fun! After all that walking around, we went to Hal & Al's for some great bar food--ALL VEGAN. We were supposed to meet Tamasin Noyes and her spousal unit for the festivities the night before, but they experienced a really bad storm that prevented them from making it. Boo. We ate enough fried food for the four of us-(say that three times super fast!) Featured above are the chili cheese fries. Mr. J. had the kraut brat. He ate it before I could take a pic. We shared the chili fries, a fried avocado/pickle/shroom sampler, and I had the 8 layer vegan nachos-(also eaten before I could get a decent photo).
Hello gorgeous fried things. Meet my mouth. The dipping sauces tied the whole room together.
My spouse gets very enthused about food in basket form.
Come here, my precious fried avocado wedge. Yes, you heard me: FRIED AVOCADO WEDGES.
Hal & Al's has been open for a couple of years now, and offers live entertainment, an extensive beer menu, and the BEST VEGAN BAR food for your hard earned dollar. You're not going to get an elaborate presentation with fancy fanned carrot shavings and teeny tiny portions. You are going to get glorious, deep fried, and soul saving goodness served in a basket. This is where you go when you get the big promotion, your heart broken, or you find some money in your pants that you forgot about. THIS is where you meet the person of your dreams by accident when opening up the bathroom door because the other person lacked the common sense to lock it because they were too drunk. If I lived in C-bus, I would hang out there at least a few times a week, playing spades and eating fried brats. Tip: ask for light chili on the fries so you can appreciate the potatoes, and extra sauce for the batter fried dippables.
If pub food ain't your thing, then perhaps sugary goodness is! At Pattycake Bakery, all of your vegan childhood dreams come true. Imagine walking into a bakery where you didn't have to ask the owner about the ingredients because EVERYTHING is vegan! Gluten free? Don't sweat it-(BUCKEYE BARS!), there are several delicacies to titillate the most sensitive of taste buds. I could have grabbed two of everything, but lacked the funds. This place was so awesome, I'm sure the dirt off the floor tastes great.
Cookies, muffins, and cakes--oh my! We tried, the I **heart** chocolate chip-(totally lives up to its name), peanut butter, and snickerdoodle. We also tried the sticky buns which could singlehandedly kick cinnabon's ass.
Menu! You can visit their website by clicking here. This is a must visit and gets an infinite amount of turntables and microphones. Did I mention you could shop online? How cool is that?
They are also hiring. Too bad I live 4 hours away and already have a job, or I'd be all over that like a: (pick the right answer)
- vegan on a stick of EB
- vegan on a cookie
- vegan on a copy of Vegan on the Cheap I will so be blogging about this best kept cookbook secret in a future post.
- vegan on a misinformed omni
- all of the above
If for some reason, I happen to become independently wealthy overnight, I'll make it--but it doesn't look good at all. Sure, I'm sad--but I'm also a member of a team that depends on me.
Be Well, Eat Joyously, and for the love of tofu--stay vegan.

That is amusing. I remember going to Target the morning ROTS items were released. The best was this lady absolutely rifling through the pegs knocking into people to find the red clonetrooper. She was like the Tazmanian Devil I tell you. Everybody just backed up and let her go at it and we all looked at each other like "Wow! She really wants that figure badly. Let's just let her have it guys." The good thing about it was she was quick and gone. Then the guys resumed their hunting and gathering techniques.
Nothing is better than crunching the packages in front of their eyes as I place them in my cart. This dude literally gasped in disbelief. I am a South Philly guy so I cannot help myself in situations like those.....I know it's wrong but it's so....enjoyable!
I think that's pretty messed up especially considering that most people were out waiting in line for hours and hours to get in. Good thing you're a big guy - because I'd kick your ass if you did that to me. I know that people get insane at these things, but I'd rather sit on the sidelines and watch the freaks do their thing.

What is 'A' Week?
'A' Week is an online event that runs 17-23 March 2013. The idea of 'A' Week is simple - to raise awareness of how many people are 'Good without Gods' and don't need religions to influence their lives.
_You take part by changing your Facebook profile picture or cover image to an 'A' for one week. You'll be joining thousands of people from all over the world in a global shared experience. If just a handful of people were to change their profile pictures almost no one would notice – but with many thousands taking part it gets noticed all over the world.
_'A' Week is not about being disrespectful to religions or people who have religious views, it's about quietly showing there are many people who are 'Good without Gods' and don't need religions to influence their lives.
Neither this website nor the 'A' Week concept is affiliated with or endorsed in any way by Facebook, The Out Campaign, The Richard Dawkins Foundation or any other person or organisation.

Moby Says The Major Record Labels 'Should Die'
from the again dept
"There was a time when the music business was incredibly monolithic and there were only two ways to get your music heard: sign to a major label, get your music played on MTV and get it played by big radio stations," Moby continued. "Thank God, that period has come to an end... Signing to a major, for 99.9% of the musicians on the planet, is the worst thing they could do... They've treated musicians badly. They've treated fans badly. They've treated the music badly, most importantly. For that reason, they either need to reinvent themselves or die quietly."And that's the key point. They don't have to "die." They could reinvent themselves, but they've shown little indication that they're really interested in doing so. But the earlier point is also important: in the past you needed a major label deal to be successful. They were the gatekeeper. These days, you no longer need such a deal. A record label deal could still make sense for some artists if the labels are smart about things, and can actually help enable those artists, but artists now have a lot more options -- and signing to a traditional record label, where you basically sign over everything for what's effectively a pretty small loan, is not a very good business move.
I think we'll see a lot more interesting label deals start appearing, where the musicians actually have a lot more leverage and are able to relegate the labels to being supporting players, rather than the main dogs. So far, the majors have been resisting those types of deals, but I think they'll have to start caving pretty soon if they want to survive.

Political Rivals Share a Stage for Immigration Reform
By Breandan Magee
Without any fear of hyperbole it would be true to say that history was made at the City Club of Chicago on Monday, April 22 as two rival congressmen, one a conservative Republican and the other a liberal Democrat, shared a stage not once but twice to confirm their commitment to comprehensive immigration reform. The Chicago Celts for Immigration Reform led by Chairman Billy Lawless greeted both legislators and thanked them for their leadership on this issue.
Former Romney running mate and darling of the fiscally conservative tea party movement, Paul Ryan, and his equally cherished champion of immigration reform Democrat Luis Gutierrez showed Chicago that the rancor and division normally associated with Washington politics can indeed be put to bed, if only on one issue: namely immigration reform.
As the senate moves forward with hearings on their recently released immigration bill the focus has now turned to the House and the state of play between Democrats and Republicans. The senate produced an almost 900 page bill that paves the way for increased border security, an E-verify system of employment verification, a guest worker program and earned citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented workers living in the USA.
The path to earned citizenship will also affect the 50,000 undocumented Irish who languish in legal limbo with no hope of ever returning home to visit loved ones unless reform passes. The proposed bill will award them legal status in the form of Registered Prospective Immigrant Status or RPI, which will come in the form of a 5 year work and residency permit. The permit will be renewed after the first 5 years and the second card will also have a 5 year term. After a total of 10 years on RPI status the immigrant can then apply for a green card and 3 years later citizenship.
To secure RPI status one must pass a background check, one cannot have 3 or more misdemeanors or felonies or foreign convictions, he or she must pay a fine and also show proficiency in English. In addition one must begin paying taxes the moment they secure RPI status if they are not already doing so. The benefit to many Irish immigrants will be the ability to travel home on RPI status without fear of being denied re entry.
Platitudes aside Monday's event underscored the determination of politicians on both sides of the aisle to solve this issue and the sight of two beltway foes sharing stories of convivial friendship and shared Catholic values was enough to make a believer out any doubting Thomas.
The national debate on immigration reform continues but there has been a definite shift in its focus and on the chances of getting something passed this year. 'Elections have consequences' is an oft heard phrase in politics; the presidential elections in November highlight this principle more than anything as former Vice Presidential contender Paul Ryan -who ran on a ticket that encouraged the 'self-deportation' of 11 million undocumented workers – now endorses a path to citizenship for 11 million people. Both parties now recognize that changing demographics and increased minority voter participation will shape future elections and decide political fates.
The House does not yet have a bill but key players on both sides of the aisle are talking and a bill is expected soon. Gutierrez was quoted as saying, "if you have an opportunity to solve a problem, you're an idiot if you don't change the manner in which you treat your opposition when your opposition has said 'you know what? I want to work this out'."
The make up of any House bill is not yet known but all indications are that it will be very similar to the Senate proposal. The Senate bill calls for an overhaul of the current system and changes the focus from family reunification to a skill or points-based system. The idea is to encourage immigration of highly skilled workers who will fill millions of open jobs in the hi-tech and engineering sectors, which in turn will fuel the economy. Those with experience or degrees in science and math for example or those from an English speaking country, such as Ireland, will be allotted more points and may be eligible to apply for a guest worker visa. As the current language is written that non-immigrant visa can morph into a green card with eventual citizenship.
The Irish, whose legal avenues for immigration have shrunk dramatically in recent decades, are watching the proposals very closely for glimmers of hope. Congressman Ryan talked movingly about his own Irish roots from County Kilkenny and his great grandfather's journey across the Atlantic that led him to a farm in Wisconsin where he built his own version of the American dream. Ireland is experiencing massive emigration today with levels not seen since the time of the Famine when Ryan's forefathers left for the promise of a better tomorrow.
The current senate bill tries to address Irish concerns with a provision, supported strongly by Senators Chuck Schumer (D- NY) and Dick Durbin (D-IL), that allows for future flow of Irish workers to the tune of 10,500 per year. Applicants would have to have a high school diploma or equivalent or a two-year vocational training qualification to be eligible. The visa is renewable every two years and would require a job offer to be made before securing the visa. There is also no limitation to how long the visa program will run.

No. 93,537
In the Matter of the Marriage of
1. The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, as codified in Kansas at K.S.A. 38-1336 et seq., prohibits simultaneous custody proceedings in two different states, except for temporary emergency situations.
2. Where another state has previously assumed child custody jurisdiction as the home state of the child substantially in conformity with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act and refuses to relinquish jurisdiction to Kansas, a court of this state may not preempt, overrule, modify, or invalidate the other state's child custody rulings.
Appeal from Riley District Court; MERYL D. WILSON, judge. Opinion filed July 22, 2005. Affirmed.
Bruce C. Barry, of Bruce C. Barry, P.A., of Manhattan, for appellant.
A. Victor Jacobson and Susan C. Jacobson, of Jacobson and Jacobson, Chtd., of Manhattan, for appellee.
Before CAPLINGER, P.J., JOHNSON and HILL, JJ.
JOHNSON, J.: Debra L. Iwed appeals the dismissal of her Kansas child custody case, challenging the Riley County District Court's determination that Kansas did not have jurisdiction because of a preexisting custody proceeding in California. We affirm.
Christopher Iwed was born to Debra and Joshua Iwed in Hawaii on June 30, 2001. In September 2001, the family moved to Kansas. In July 2002, Joshua went to California to care for his grandparents. Debra and Joshua took turns visiting each other periodically. Christopher was in California with Joshua from the end of July to the middle of September 2003, when they came back to Kansas. On January 24, 2004, Joshua returned to California, leaving Christopher in Kansas with Debra. On February 18, 2004, Joshua filed a petition for divorce and child custody in the Superior Court of Alameda County, California, Case No. RF04141415.
Debra did not participate in the California proceeding. Initially, the California court granted temporary custody of Christopher to Debra. However, after Debra failed to participate in court-ordered custody mediation, the California court awarded sole custody to Joshua on April 13, 2004. On April 15, 2004, Debra filed a petition for divorce and child custody in the District Court of Riley County, Kansas. She attached Joshua's California petition and affidavits, as well as the California court order for the parties to contact Family Court Services for a mediation appointment. Debra obtained ex parte temporary custody and support orders. Joshua filed an answer in the Kansas proceeding.
On September 2, 2004, the Kansas district judge contacted the judge handling the California proceeding. The Kansas judge advised the parties' attorneys that the California judge was taking the position that California had obtained jurisdiction and it was unwilling to relinquish jurisdiction to Kansas. The Kansas court conducted a hearing on October 5, 2004, after which the parties filed briefs with the court. Ultimately, the Kansas court found that California had initially exercised jurisdiction over child custody after finding that Kansas had not been Christopher's home state for the 6 consecutive months prior to Joshua's petition. Relying on the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), as codified in Kansas at K.S.A. 38-1336 et seq., the district court found that Kansas did not have jurisdiction to modify the California order.
Debra's brief presents four issues, although the first two may be distilled into the question of whether the Kansas court had jurisdiction to find that California was not Christopher's home state, i.e., that California did not have jurisdiction to make its custody orders. Debra also challenges the sufficiency of the communication and cooperation between the Kansas and California courts and asserts that she has the right to appeal the Kansas court's ruling.
Joshua failed to adequately address the question of whether we are presented with a final order. See Varney Business Services, Inc. v. Pottroff, 275 Kan. 20, 40, 59 P.3d 1003 (2002) (point incidentally raised but not argued deemed abandoned). We perceive of no credible argument to challenge that a dismissal is an appealable final order. Nothing remained to be decided in the Kansas district court relating to child custody.
After being advised by the Kansas judge that he had communicated with the California judge, Debra chose to participate in an evidentiary hearing and to file briefs with the Kansas court. She did not raise the issues she now asserts regarding compliance with K.S.A. 38-1345 and K.S.A. 38-1347. We need not address Debra's challenge to the sufficiency of the communication and cooperation between the states. See Board of Lincoln County Comm'rs v. Nielander, 275 Kan. 257, 268, 62 P.3d 247 (2003). We do note that most of the provisions in the two statutes utilize the word "may," suggesting discretion on the part of the Kansas judge. The record does not reflect any abuse of that discretion.
Our decision, then, turns on whether Kansas had the jurisdiction to preempt, invalidate, or modify the California custody order. The existence of jurisdiction is a question of law over which this court's scope of review is unlimited. State v. James, 276 Kan. 737, 744, 79 P.3d 169 (2003). Further, this case presents questions regarding the UCCJEA, which was adopted by the Kansas Legislature on July 1, 2000. See K.S.A. 38-1336 et seq. This court's review of the district court's statutory interpretation is de novo. McNabb v. McNabb, 31 Kan. App. 2d 398, 403, 65 P.3d 1068 (2003).
K.S.A. 38-1350 provides:
"Except as otherwise provided in K.S.A. 38-1351 and amendments thereto, a court of this state may not modify a child-custody determination made by a court of another state unless a court of this state has jurisdiction to make an initial determination under subsection (a)(1) or (2) of K.S.A. 38-1348 and amendments thereto, and:
(1) The court of the other state determines it no longer has exclusive, continuing jurisdiction under K.S.A. 38-1349 and amendments thereto, or that a court of this state would be a more convenient forum under K.S.A. 38-1354 and amendments thereto; or
(2) a court of this state or a court of the other state determines that the child, the child's parents, and any person acting as a parent do not presently reside in the other state."
Debra admits that the Kansas court had no authority to modify California's custody order, if California had jurisdiction to enter the order. She contends, however, that the evidence she presented to the Kansas court in her motion for temporary interlocutory orders and at the evidentiary hearing clearly shows that Kansas was Christopher's home state, not California. See K.S.A. 38-1337(8) ("home state" defined). Debra admits that she did not contest the California court's jurisdiction in the California proceeding.
On appeal, Debra presents us with the facts which she contends support her assertion that Kansas is Christopher's home state. Her arguments are seductive. However, even assuming merit to her contention that Kansas is Christopher's only home state, the Kansas court may not preempt or overrule the California court's findings of fact which were based on Joshua's petition and affidavits.
The UCCJEA prohibits simultaneous custody proceedings in two different states, except for temporary emergency situations. The Kansas court was required to first determine whether a custody proceeding had been commenced in another state having jurisdiction substantially in conformity with the UCCJEA. K.S.A. 38-1353(a). Debra's request to have the Kansas court invalidate the rulings of the California court was an attempt to do the very thing that the UCCJEA was designed to eliminate, i.e., dueling state custody proceedings. Cf. In re Marriage of Ruth, 32 Kan. App. 2d 416, 423, 83 P.3d 1248, rev. denied 278 Kan. 845 (2004) ("The mere filing of a motion without a jurisdiction determination defeats the purpose of the UCCJEA."). The Kansas district court followed its statutory mandate and appropriately dismissed Debra's custody action in this state.

Don't believe everything you think.
The more I know, the less I know.
Whenever I see a white cross planted on the side of the road where a fatal accident has occurred, I have the habit of crossing myself and offering a prayer for the soul of the victim. Today, I was driving a friend back up the Western side of the mountains (Victoria Pass) which is a steep, zig-zaging piece of highway. I have driven up this way numerous times, and I know there is a white cross on the cliff side as you come up, in fact I saw it this morning as I drove down the mountain. Suddenly, I noticed that it was on the other side of the road, leaning on it's side on a rock. We pulled over, so we could at least stand the cross upright. My friend asked me where it should be, and I pointed to the other side of the road to the spot. At that moment, a truck which had lost control came tearing down the mountain around a bend on the wrong side of the road! then suddenly swerved and went up a saftey ramp on the on the cliff side, and came to a stop. My friend and I crossed the highway to check on the driver who was in his 20's and quite shaken. I tried to reassure him that he did everything right, and thank God he knew about the saftey ramp. He replied that he was from Sydney and had never come down Victoria Pass before, and only saw the saftey ramp because he saw me point at it! We told him the real reason I was pointing, and he told us that he too was Orthodox (Antiochian) and his name was George (as is my friend's, so we were three Orthodox Georges!) We all realised that we had been saved from tragedy by the Power of the Cross and our Heavenly Patron! We planted the cross back in it's original position and sang the Troparion of the Cross and Kontakion of St. George in Greek and Arabic. And then George the truck driver noticed a little brass plate that had fallen on to the ground from the Cross...The plate said that the Cross had been planted in memory of yet another George!Glory to God!
