Hartsville, SC – With 15-seconds remaining in regulation Hailey Yohn hit the game winning three to put the Cobras up 80-78, and seal the deal against the North Greenville Crusaders. With the win the Cobras improve to 9-3 on the year, and 5-1 in league play.
It was a tight competition from start to finish as both teams exchanged buckets in the first half. The Crusaders scored the games first point on a free throw, but the Cobras took control after that and took a nine-point lead into the half.
Autumn Lau scored the first five points for the Cobras at the start of the second half, but then the offense went cold. North Greenville cut the lead down to three points with just over two minutes remaining in the game. A pair of free throws by Ciara Anderson eventually tied the game for the Crusaders at 76 a piece.
Out of a North Greenville timeout, the Crusaders took the lead with just 18 seconds left. Angie Lawrence was then able to get to the free throw line, and connect on 1-of-2 from the charity stripe to put Coker within one. Yohn would have the last say, as she proceeded to hit the game winning three.
As a team, the Cobras hit 51-percent from the floor, and 50-percent from trifecta range. They also knocked in 18-of-24 (75-percent) free throws.
Amber Lau and Angie Lawrence both had a team high 18-points, and each collected eight and seven rebounds. Including the game winner, Yohn had 13-points while Autumn Lau finished with 12-points.
Coker will hit the road for their next competition, as they travel to Barton College for a Conference Carolinas competition. The game is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.

Update: He's Gone
A big huge hug to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. We got a phone call yesterday afternoon that Jon's sweet grandpa had passed away.
* Here is a shot from our wedding. Jon's grandpa is directly below him.
We both stopped working for the day and went off to grandma's house to check on her. She's handling things as well as can be expected. At times she is okay and you can even get a smile out of her, but just as quickly it can turn to her sobbing that, "he's gone." Over and over again. She was the only boy she ever dated, her one true love so it's understandable that she is so upset.
Plans have been made, family is coming in from around the US and wakes will take place Thursday evening, Friday afternoon and evening with the funeral on Saturday.
I'm taking the rest of the week off. I feel insanely guilty about not posting or commenting this week, but then again I feel insanely guilty going on like nothing has happened. So I think it's best that I take a couple days off and throw myself into helping out however I can with Jon's grandma.
If you need me I'll be checking my email: email@example.com

My mother brought me a book to look at recently. It's called Heston Blumenthal at home. Amongst the recipes was a technique which I think would be of interest to the Just Bento community. I wish I could say that I could have come up with it myself but there is a step which makes quinoa suitable for spreading and rolling in nori I would never have ever considered trying. I won't go into too much detail as I have no wish to infringe his creative copyright but the basic principle is easy to share.
To begin with, his tips for preparing quinoa:
Start with 200grams of quinoa and soak it in water for 15 minutes then drain it (a sensible way to rinse quinoa)
Add the drained quinoa to 350grams of water to which you add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring it on medium high heat to a simmering boil, cover, bring the temperature down and leave to simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off and leave the quinoa to rest for a further 5 minutes.
Next, that clever bit; divide the quinoa in half (I do this mentally) and pulp half of the quinoa with a hand blender. Combine the unblended and blended ingredients and, presto - Sticky quinoa!
Now you need to dress it and this is where I'll respect the copyright. He suggests combining ponzu (he gives a recipe for a home made version), miso, sesame seeds, onion seeds, horseradish, chives and a few other ingredients but you can be as creative as you like (I personally like to dress quinoa in a mix of fish sauce, lime juice, honey/sweetener, garlic and water which gives it a Thai taste). Consider adding about 70grams of your chosen dressing but add less or more to your own personal taste.
Once the quinoa is dressed smear it on the nori and add your favourite fillings before rolling up. It is a teensy bit trickier to make makizushi with quinoa than regular white rice but not that much more so. I enjoyed these last night with my daughter and had a mayonnaise mixed with wasabi to accompany them.
These can easily be made to accommodate any diet; vegan, gluten free, wholegrain, carnivore (Heston suggests rare beef, shitake and scallion as one of the fillings - or cucumber, avocado and mango for a meatless version)
Sounds yummy, I'll have to try it.
My blog is Food and Shoes
These can easily be made to accommodate any diet; vegan, gluten free, wholegrain, carnivore (Heston suggests rare beef, shitake and scallion as one of the fillings - or cucumber, avocado and mango for a meatless version)
I'm looking forward to trying it out. ^^
I just recently got into Bento making. This is already quite adventurous for me :)
I tried this earlier today and worked great! Tastes awesome too! Glad I can eat healthier sushi now, so I can have it more often :D
I'm really pleased this works for you, honey bee.
Blending a little of the quinoa and stirring it with regular cooked quinoa before dressing it has been an invaluable tip for my family just because it makes it easier for my two year old to eat the stuff without it ending up EVERYWHERE.

Thanks to city directories, I know exactly where Ruby will be found in 1940: living in Atlanta with her second husband. But what about Mack? I know he left Ruby shortly after their daughter was born to "find work." He didn't return for 14 years. So where was he in 1940?
Well, something of a surprise. I know who Ruth was. She was Ruth Sexton, Mack's second wife... or third... or would that be fourth? I guess it depends on how you count. Based on the information I have, it now looks like she's both Mack's 2nd and 4th wife, with my Great-Grandmother Ruby Waters being his 1st and 3rd. Mack was married four times, to two women. Here's the timeline I can piece together:
- Feb 1931 - Mack Huyler m. Ruby Waters, Atlanta (marriage certificate)
- abt 1937 - Ruby Waters m. Cecil Whitfield (city directory)
- by 1939 - Mack Huyler m. Ruth Sexton (city directory)
- Dec 1947 - Mack Huyler m. Ruby Waters (bible record)
- abt 1960 - Mack Huyler m. Ruth Sexton (obituary)
I have evidence of a lot of marriages, but I don't have any official records. Even the first marriage between Ruby and Mack, I have a certificate but I haven't found an actual license (I assume the online database is incomplete and that microfilm in not available at the archive). And what about divorces? Hopefully the couples were legally divorced...
And hopefully Mack can still be found at 710 Railroad St for the 1940 census. If so, he'll be in ED 41-58 in either block 313 or 314. Fingers crossed!

Charmed to meet Kashmir Ki Kali
This was the first Shammi Kapoor film I saw, and the first with Sharmila Tagore in the lead role. It is one of the very very few films I have seen without fast forwarding a frame, and for that alone, I absolutely loved it! Here are some highlights:
1. The way the film started out was very entertaining. Rajiv Lal (Shammi Kapoor) was a wealthy industrialist, and his mother insisted that he get married. To her, the selection process was as simple as this:
Rajiv's arrival to the scene was refreshing. With such effectiveness, and without saying much at all, he managed to get his way. And he even provided ammunition to singles whose insistent parents try to have things their way:
2. The scene with the pehli mulaaqaat (first meeting) between Rajiv and Champa (Sharmila Tagore) was beautiful. For some reason, I thought Tabu would be perfect here if there ever were a modern-day equivalent of the scene:
Champa's introduction was a thing of beauty. She was stunning and graceful.
3. Champa's saheliyaan (friends) seemed like such a fun bunch. I kept waiting for one of them to do her some injustice (if only out of sheer jealousy), but they stuck together and were as loyal as one could expect. Well done. They played an important role in this scene...
...which officially kicked off the courtship.
4. The pieces at Rajiv's mansion in Kashmir were very well done. They were slightly more melodramatic at times, but that was excusable because most of the segments were funny and entertaining. The four women did well.
So did Rajiv and his friend Chander (played by Anoop Kumar). The latter was excellent throughout, especially in this sequence that was a perfect build-up to an extraordinary song (more on the music below). Remember discussing truck art while reviewing Tashan (point 5). How cool is the color in the Mercedes logo in this? :)
4. Nasir Hussain played Champa's father. He was poor and blind, but a loving father who was concerned for his daughter's future (and his own -- call it selfish altruism if you may).
(Aside: I confused this Mr. Hussain with Aamir Khan's uncle who had the same name, would you believe it! That Nasir Hussain and Shammi Kapoor shared a strong bond, as Mr. Kapoor noted recently (see video in this post).)
5. How could one not love the Kashmir ki kali (both the literal and figurative)?
6. After waiting for a bit before things went wrong, Mohan (Pran) came to life. He was bound to, the blackmailer...
...and the storyline demanded more attention. The inflection point in the romance shared by Rajiv and Champa came when Rajiv's identity was revealed to her. He had deliberately hidden it, for fear of her be-rukhi (i.e. keeping her distance from him), but this eventually caught up to him. There even came a time when she refused to communicate with him.
6. And then there was a stretch during which the good old sentimentalists took over.
Most of it was well done and invoked sympathy for the characters, but this also led to the weakest portion of the film. The climax could have been much better, and the dishoom-dishoom between Rajiv and Mohan could have been condensed. Having said that, holding these last 20 minutes or so against the rest of the film would be an injustice.
7. The soundtrack to the film was extremely impressive. The songs were excellent and well placed. Mohammad Rafi took command, and commanded respect, much like the entire music crew did. The first song -- Kahin Na Kahin (watch it here) -- is yet another car song that I cannot stop listening to.
My favorite song from the film, Yeh Chaand Sa Raushan Chehra (here is a post dedicated to the song and its lyrics), showcases Champa's friends in remarkable fashion:
Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein (watch it here) is beautifully sung. Rajiv's attire in the song reminds me of Bhuvan from Radha Kaise Na Jale in Lagaan (2001).
Deewana Hua Baadal (watch it here) is a fantastic love song. Yeh dekh ke dil jhooma, li pyaar ne angdaayi. The word angdaayi was also used in Yeh Chaand Sa Raushan Chehra, and given the context in which the two instances were used, I am convinced that the soundtrack and its flow was nothing short of a work of genius. Splendid, splendid, splendid.
This song -- SubhanAllah Haye (watch it here) -- was only cool because Rajiv and his friend managed to fool Mohan. Khuda mehfooz rakhe har balaa se, har baala se...good stuff!
Hai Duniya Usi Ki is yet another fantastic song. Besides incorporating elements of jazz, it showcased (albeit in the background) the lovable Air India mascot, the Maharaja! I used to have one of these in my room as a child, and I never realized how old he was!
8. Overall, Kashmi Ki Kali is surely one of Bollywood's finest products. It showcased the bold...
...and the beautiful:
I am looking forward to checking out some of Sharmila Tagore's works. She was ravishing and perfect for the role of Champa.
(Aside: A lake, a yellow dress, and a boat reminded me of my favorite such instance from Maine Pyaar Kiya (1989) in the song Dil Deewana. Although that boat was hardly a shikaara.)
9. There is hardly a dull moment in the film, and both Shammi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore are fantastic and expressive as ever.
Given this, I am going with four stars and then some for an excellent film that must be a torchbearer for everything that was good in Hindi cinema of yesteryear. If you have not seen it, you must!
Movie rating: 4.25/5 (Excellent!)
Music rating: 4.75/5 (Excellent!)
My classification: G (Very clean)
On a personal note:
I was exposed to Kashmir Ki Kali's music at a very young age, for my father used to play it frequently. It was one of the few soundtracks from older films I liked even before my teens. Somehow, I managed to not see its source through the years. Memsaab's review at this link finally pushed me to order it, and am I glad I did or what! This one's a keeper!
And finally:
I know there cannot be another Kashmir Ki Kali, but I so want a remake of this starring Aamir Khan opposite Vidya Balan (who I think would do better than Soha Ali Khan)! And maybe Shammi Kapoor could play Nasir Hussain's role this time?!

Adab dada theBollywoodFan,
Yet another to add to my list. If you and memsaab recommend it, it's a must! I really can't have a real life with all these great movies to watch. :) I touch your feet as I leave your site.
Phir Milenge,

Adab Sita-ji: Thank you for stopping by. I am confident you'll enjoy Kashmir Ki Kali!
It is very true that it is difficult to have a life with all these great movies. :) Then again, if we do, like Coca Cola's Bollywood-themed commercials would like for us to, 'eat movies and sleep movies', it really should be an extension of our lives! Each blogger shares this, right? :)
You honor me too much. The touching of the feet should work in the opposite direction for the sheer respect you all deserve!

It is a lovely film! Glad you enjoyed it.
BTW, the Nasir Hussain who acted is not the same Nasir Hussain who directed and produced (Aamir's uncle). I don't think this Nasir Hussain is related to Aamir in any way.

Hi Memsaab: Good looking out, and thanks for the note! So I guess there was more than one Nasir Hussain at the time...silly me :) I've made the change to the post.
So glad I saw it. Thank you again. Junglee and Teesri Manzil will be next!

I like both of those even more than this one :-) I think you will love Junglee!

Better than Kashmir Ki Kali is a bold statement, Memsaab! I cannot wait to see Junglee now. And Teesri Manzil too. Might be a bit, but hopefully this summer!

I enjoyed this film and your review. For me, the highlight of this film is Taarif Karun Kyaa Uski. The film as a whole was sweet and unremarkable but that song is one of my all-time favourites. By the way, did you know that in the alphabetical isting of your reviews you have its date listed as 1954?
- Saturday, June 06, 2009
- theBollywoodFan said...
Thank you, maxqnz. That song is great (as are some others from it), and I agree with your thoughts on the whole, about this film. The music and fun nature of it all really stands out a lot more. Thank you also for noting the error in listing the year on the review index, been corrected :)

A study of more than 1,600 arbitration cases over the past five years shows an "alarmingly high" rate of brokers who were able to get their arbitration histories wiped clean, leaving investors vulnerable to potential fraud and abuse, according to a report released in mid-October by the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA).
In reviewing all securities arbitration awards in cases filed between Jan. 1, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2011, in which the word "expungement" appears, PIABA's report found:
An "alarmingly" high percentage of arbitration cases resolved by settlement or stipulated awards where expungement relief has been granted. For the time period Jan. 1, 2007, through mid-May 2009, expungement was granted in 89% of the cases resolved by stipulated awards or settlement. (The May 2009 end date reflects a change in reporting requirements mandating more information about arbitration cases.)
For mid-May 2009 through the end of 2011, expungement relief was granted in nearly every instance: 96.9% of the cases resolved by settlements or stipulated awards.
Some stockbrokers have taken a particularly aggressive approach to wiping their slate clean. One individual associated with a brokerage firm requested expungement 40 times, and arbitration panels granted such relief to that individual 35 times.
"To say that 'expungement' of customer claims from broker records is a major investor protection problem is an understatement," said Scott Ilgenfritz, outgoing president of PIABA and author of the expungement study, during a conference call to announce the study's findings. "What is supposed to be an extraordinary relief measure is now being sought and granted in roughly nine out of the 10 settled cases that we studied."
Such a high percentage of expungements "clearly indicates that the current expungement procedures are seriously flawed. Regulators need to step in and crack down on the granting of expungements, particularly in settled cases."
FINRA responded in a statement that the recent increase in expungement requests, as PIABA noted, is largely attributable to the 2009 change to Forms U4 and U5 that increased the number of customer claims reported against brokers, and consequently increased the number of brokers pursuing expungement relief.
"While still significant, the number of arbitrator-recommended expungements executed by FINRA following a court order during the five-year period (838 orders) covered by the study is less than 5% of the total number of customer disputes filed (17,635)."
FINRA maintains the qualification, employment and disclosure histories of 5,100 broker-dealers and approximately 660,000 of their securities employees in the electronic CRD system. FINRA and the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) established the CRD system in 1981.
"PIABA's study makes many valid points. Expungement is and should continue to be an extraordinary remedy," says Andrea Seidt, NASAA president and Ohio securities commissioner. "We share PIABA's concerns that there be robust oversight of the process to ensure that expungement is not easily granted. Such oversight helps to ensure the integrity of the CRD system that regulators, investors and the industry rely upon for information about the background of stockbrokers."
Seidt says that NASAA continues to work with FINRA "to address these concerns and looks forward to working constructively with all interested parties to ensure that the expungement process requires a thorough and thoughtful analysis of each request."
While FINRA has very recently undertaken steps to better educate arbitrators concerning their roles in the expungement process "and the critical importance of accurate customer claims information with respect to investor protection," said Ilgenfritz, "FINRA's arbitrator education efforts need to go further, and FINRA needs to propose rule changes."
FINRA responded in its comment the same day that it shares PIABA's concerns with respect to the expungement process. As a result of these concerns, FINRA said it "recently provided expanded guidance to assist arbitrators in the proper performance of their responsibilities with respect to expungement and is enhancing arbitrator training with added emphasis on the importance of the integrity of the information in the CRD system." In addition to the steps FINRA is taking to provide additional guidance and training to arbitrators, the self-regulator said that it is "reviewing its rules and interpretations, and will consider changes to provide clarity as to what actions in connection with conditions on settlements violate conduct rules."
Specifically, the PIABA report recommended the following: "FINRA needs to propose a rule change with respect to respondents and their counsel bargaining for in-settlement negotiations or conditioning a settlement upon an investor's agreement to not oppose expungement or an agreement to expungement."
Incoming PIABA president Jason Doss said on the call that FINRA also needs to provide "more and better training for arbitrators." The training required by FINRA for arbitrators to be able to rule upon a motion seeking expungement relief "is limited," he said. As it stands now, he said, arbitrators are only required to take an online training course, which takes approximately one hour, and pass a test concerning the materials included in the online training course.
The report also suggested FINRA take the following steps:
For FINRA to fulfill its mission of investor protection, the procedures applicable to motions for expungement relief need to be changed. FINRA needs to play a more active role in arbitrators' rulings on motions for expungement relief.
FINRA needs to review and critically assess all motions for expungement relief, particularly those made in cases resolved by settlement.
FINRA also needs to review and critically assess settlement agreements. A proposed rule change should include the requirement that the hearing on any motion for expungement relief be scheduled no sooner than 60 days after service of the motion on the customer and FINRA. In cases resolved by settlement, FINRA should require respondents to provide to FINRA the settlement agreement along with the motion for expungement relief.

Panna cottas ready to chill out: The Florentines called for quick oats. Which I don't have. I have old fashioned oats. What to do... Using a plastic baggie and my trusted rolling pin, I made my own quick oats!
Coating with chocolate... yum:
Finally, I topped my panna cotta with a fresh blueberry sauce, let it all set, then waited for dessert time. And it was definitely worth the wait! The brown sugar vanilla (soy/tofu) panna cotta set up so beautifully, and had the perfect texture. The blueberries on top were a great complement to the creamy dessert, too.
And the Florentines? There were those who found the cookies to be a bit too sweet for their tastes. I was not one of them. These were delicious. Crispy edges, chewy centers, some with chocolate on them... I found myself snacking on one pretty much every time I went into the kitchen until they were all gone! (Which didn't take long...!)
Thank you so much, Mallory, for this amazing challenge! I loved every bit of it - but mostly the eating! You have absolutely given me recipes which will remain in my arsenal for a long time!
If you are in the mood for a treat, take a look here to see what my fellow Daring Bakers came up with!

This Is Why You Don't Buy Replica Shoes From Ioffer.com! Nor Replica Bags!Categories:Christian Louboutin
I've said this a lot of times before but I feel the need to say it again. Ioffer.com is not a good site, no matter what you're planning to buy. You can find of replica bags reviews here on the blog and you should read at least one before taking the plunge.
I know that Ioffer.com looks appealing, especially for their low prices but trust me, that not enough reason to buy their replica handbags or shoes. And no matter how many times you try, no seller is going to deliver what you see in the photos. The best way to convince yourself is by reading yet another bad review of Ioffer.com
But this time we're going to talk about replica shoes. I know better than anyone that it's 10 times hard to find good replica shoes but if you're reading this article, things are going to get easier for you, at least that's what I hope for. But first of all, I have to explain the basic rules when it comes to fake shoes, especially Christian Louboutin replica shoes. The most important thing are:
Find a site that takes their own pictures.
I'm sure you're charmed by the nice looking photos you see but let me tell you a secret: 99% of all replica shoes sites are using the same photos, stolen from the official brand sites. If you find a site that's using their own photos, you're a lucky girl. Even though the NIKE shoes are not pitch perfect, at least you know what you're going to receive.
Find a site with good prices.
You're not going to find good Christian Louboutin replica shoes under $100 so stop trying to save money. Shoes are the most important accessory! Why would you want to buy cheap replica shoes? To have them break when walking into an important meeting? Imagine yourself walking down the aisle and the heel of your fake shoes brakes…horrible!
To get an idea on how much you should pay for some decent Christian Louboutin replica shoes think about the authentic shoes and their prices…anything less than half of that price is not good.
Now back to our Ioffer.com review, this is the email my friend sent me:
"So I ordered these TOMS shoes from ioffershoes.us and they're absolutely terrible!! I know replica shoes aren't 100% but they should be better than this!"
The Replica Christian louboutin Lady Peep Pumps are supposed to look like this but this is what my friend received.
Here are the authentic Christian Louboutin Isolde pumps and the replica Christian Louboutin Isolde pumps. What a huge difference!
I hope this Christian Louboutin replica shoes review helps you make a better decision than my friend. At least now you know what to avoid when shopping for replica shoes.
I can't wait to hear your opinion of these shoes
