Translating cooking terms between US / UK / AU / CA / NZ
This post is an attempt to keep track of the terms that differ between dialects of English or exist in some dialects but not others: British / Australian / Canadian / American / etc.
Please note that Canada may be difficult to classify, as some regions (especially near the southern border) use US terms, while others may use UK terms.
It's a community wiki, so feel free to edit and clarify or add additional items. The comments are getting long, so use answers for discussion of specific concepts if necessary. If you're not sure what a term means, ask it as a new question and tag it with language)
Also see What international cooking terms sound similar but have different meanings? for similar issues with other languages.
Fruits & Vegetables:
Eggplant (US, AU) is an aubergine (UK).
Zucchini (US, AU) is a courgette (UK) when harvested young or a marrow (UK, AU) when allowed to mature further.
Summer Squash (US) are members of the squash family with a short storage life typically harvested before full maturity; typically available starting in the spring and summer; includes zucchini, yellow and crookneck squash.
Winter Squash (US) are members of the squash family that are allowed to reach full maturity before harvesting; typically available in the fall; includes pumpkin, acorn and butternut squash.
also note that squash may refer to a drink (see "cordial")

Capsicum (AU) / bell pepper (US) is a pepper (UK). Note that for people with a biology background 'capsicum' also includes hot peppers (aka chilies or chili peppers)
Peppers (US) (note the plural), is typically short for chili peppers unless qualified as sweet peppers or bell peppers, or specified as peppercorn.
Colored peppers (US), (eg, red peppers, green peppers), typically refers to bell peppers unless qualified (eg, 'hot red peppers', 'small red peppers')
Pepper (US) (note the singular) refers to black peppercorns unless otherwise qualified.
Red pepper (US, note the singular) refers to dried, red chilies (typically cayenne) that has been dried and ground or crushed.
Seaweed (US) has many names based on type of plant, including Kombu (Japan), Nori (Japan), Laver (Wales), and many others. See (edible seaweed)

Peanuts (US, AU) may sometimes be sold in the UK as monkey nuts, especially if unshelled. And Peanut Oil may be known in the UK as groundnut oil.
Legumes (US) are pulses (UK). 'Legume' may refer to the plant and not the seeds (lentils, beans, etc).
Boiling potatoes (US) are waxy potatoes (UK, US). This refers to low-starch potatoes that don't fall apart when cooked. Sometimes called roasting potatoes (US). New potatoes behave like waxy potatoes, even if they come from a variety used for baking.
Mealy potatoes (US) are floury potatoes (UK) or baking potatoes (UK, US). This refers to high starch, low moisture potatoes that result in significant softening when cooked (useful for mashed potatoes or using for thickening; the opposite of waxy potatoes).
Runner Beans (UK) are green beans or string beans (US, CA) (Farmhouse Cookery). UK also has green beans and stringless beans, but neither is the same as runner beans.

Spring onions (AK, AU, CA), Scallions (US), and green onions may not always be the same thing, but can typically be substituted for each other. (more details).
Herbs, Spices & Seasonings:
Kosher(ing) salt (US) is flaked salt (UK). Some sea salts may be appropriate substitutes (ref).

Chili powder (US) is a spice mixture for seasoning chili con carne. Chili powder contains mainly ground chili peppers (eg, cayenne), onion powder, garlic powder and cumin. Mixtures vary, and often include oregano, black pepper, paprika and/or salt.
Chili powder (UK) is pure ground chili peppers. In the US, it is usually qualified with a variety of chili and includes an "e" such as "New Mexico chile powder" or "Ancho chile powder". (See also "red pepper", above.)
(see also 'peppercorns' for a discussion of 'black pepper', under the discussion of 'pepper' in Fruits & Vegetables)
Baked Goods:
Cookies (US, CA) are biscuits (UK, AU, NZ).
Biscuits (US, CA) are similar to a scone (UK, AU, NZ), and usually neither sweet nor savory. Note: bisquit (Germany, no plural) is sponge cake (US).

Muffin (US, AU, NZ) is a quick bread (typically using the 'muffin method') baked in forms used for cupcakes. It increasingly has this meaning in the UK too, with the prevalence of American-style coffee-shop chains. Muffin (UK) is english muffin (US, AU, NZ), a yeast leavened flat-ish bread, cooked on a griddle with a ring form.
Scone (US, CA) tends to be sweeter than a scone (UK).
Sponge cake is a term for the lighter range of "typical" cake in both US and UK. However, since the range of cakes typically baked varies between the US and UK, in British usage one finds "sponges" that are heavier and denser than what an American would call a "sponge". See this answer for further discussion.
Pancake (US, CA) Pikelet (AU, NZ) generally refers to puffy items made from a thick leavened batter but generally smaller than an American pancake. (AU may use 'pancake' for items larger than "silver dollar pancakes"). Pancake can go by a number of names in the US, including hotcakes, griddlecakes, flapjacks and hoecakes.
Pancake (UK, AU) is made from a thinner unleavened batter, with a result a little thicker than a french crêpe. Drop scone (or scotch pancake) (UK) is similar to a (US, CA) pancake

soft flour (UK) is lower gluten than AP flour, such as pastry flour (US) or cake flour (US)
strong flour (UK) aka. hard flour (UK) is higher gluten flour, such as bread flour (US)
self-rising flour (US) is available in the US, but less common. It is referred to as self-raising flour in the UK, AU and NZ. Although it has baking powder in it, it does not have fat in it such as Bisquick or other 'baking mixes'.

In the UK, a teaspoon is 5ml, a dessert spoon is 10ml, and a table spoon is 15ml.

@GalacticCowboy : the closest I can come up with is 'Biscuit (US) is similar to a scone (UK)' as UK scones aren't like US ones.
– Joe
"rutabaga (US) is swede (UK)" - depends where you are. The terms 'swede' and 'turnip' swap from county to county. Where I'm from a swede is a hefty yellow ball-sized lump, a turnip a white and green golf ball-sized thing. Travel further south or north and the terms swap over... PS. sugar: it's written "caster" sugar on every packet in every supermarket in the UK. Castor oil is something very different.
– Gary
@jam : yes, they're equivalent, although in some regions 'turnover' is more common. For Americans, 'pasties' are things that strippers use to cover their nipples, so wouldn't be used to talk about food unless qualified (eg, 'cornish pastie')
@joe removing it is correcting it. It's not a matter of opinion: 'biscuit' does not mean 'Digestive biscuit' in the UK. A Digestive is a biscuit, but not all biscuits are Digestives. I don't 'disagree', it is simply wrong.
– ElendilTheTall
US : jam/jelly/preserves/etc
In the US, there are specific definitions from the Food & Drug Administration on what can be labeled as jam, jelly, etc.
From CookingLight.com, but preserved here in case of link rot:
Jelly is a clear, bright product. It is generally made by cooking fruit juice and sugar with pectin as a jelling agent and lemon juice as an acid to maintain a consistent texture. Jelly is firm and will hold its shape (it 'shakes'). Generally, jelly contains no pieces of fruit, although specialty jellies, like pepper jelly, may include pieces of jalapeño or other pepper.
Jam is made from crushed or chopped fruit cooked with sugar, and often pectin and lemon juice. Jam can be a purée of fruit or have a soft pulp, but it does not contain chunks of fruit.
Preserves are fruit cooked with sugar to the point where large chunks of fruit or whole fruit, such as berries, are suspended in a syrup base. The texture of preserves is not smooth like jelly or jam.
Marmalade is a soft jelly, often citrus-based, that includes both the flesh and peel of the fruit suspended throughout the jelly base. The bitterness of the peel offsets the sweetness of the jelly.
Conserve is a mixture of more than one fruit, often with added nuts and raisins, that is cooked until it becomes thick. It is used as a spread for breads, pastries and meats, and in the latter use is closest to chutney.
Chutney is a spiced condiment of Indian origin (chatni is the Hindi word for strongly spiced) made of fruit or vegetables. It is typically served as an accompaniment to food, not as a spread. The spice level can range from mild to hot, and the consistency from a fine relish to a preserve or conserve. Fruit chutney consists of chopped fruit, vinegar, spices and sugar cooked into a chunky sweet-tart-spicy mix: according to one explanation, it 'blurs the Western distinction between preserves and pickles.'
Fruit Butter, such as apple butter or prune butter, is fruit purée or pulp combined with sugar, lemon juice and spices, slowly cooked down to a smooth consistency. The 'butter' refers to its spreadability: there is no actual butter in the product.
Fruit Curd is a creamy spread made with sugar, eggs and butter, generally flavored with citrus juice and zest.
Fruit Spread is generally a reduced-calorie product made with fruit juice concentrate and low-calorie sweeteners replacing all or part of the sugar.
+1 for the detailed explanation. In Italy, we use just two terms: marmellata, and confettura.
– apaderno
Salsa qualifies as Chutney. Pickles in India are dried veggies or raw fruits soaked(?) or brined in oil with dry herbs and spices. In some cases Indian pickles may be even brined only with vinegar. In US pickles are mostly brined in vinegar and may or may not contain spices. Correct me if I am wrong.
– Kumar
So, when the Americans talk about a "peanut butter and jelly sandwich", what is the 'jelly' they refer to? Does it match the definition above (Jelly is firm and will hold its shape (it 'shakes') ), or should it really be called a "peanut butter and jam sandwich"?
– Jez
Italian law (namely the Decreto Legislativo 50/2004) is even stricter about the use of those words in labels. Specifically, it defines the following products as a gelified mixture of water, sugar and: Jam (confettura): at least 35% of pulp or purée of one or more of any kind of fruit. Marmalade (marmellata): at least 20% of one of more of pulp, purée, water extract, peel from citruses only. Jelly (gelatina): at least 35% of juice or water extract of one or more of any kind of fruit. Jelly marmalade (marmellata gelatina): a marmalade deprived of any insoluble element.
– Pino Pinto
@kiamlaluno: Italy also has mostarda which is somewhat similar to chutney, both in recipe (sweet and spicy fruit preserve) and use (as a condiment to savoury dishes)

British Gas Mark to Degrees Conversion
Gas Mark 1/4 : 225°F : 110°C
Gas Mark 1 : 275°F : 135°C
Gas Mark 4 : 350°F : 175°C (often considered 180°C)
I've based this table off of a number of sources that have slightly different values; I'm going to assume that the 25°F for each gas mark is correct (as those all agree), and derived the Celcius from there, rounding to the nearest 5. See the first three for descriptive terms like 'moderate oven', as they don't all use the same adjectives.

From Charlotte Farley: endive (US) is chicory (Belgium, perhaps others). A I understand it, UK usage reverses continental usage - so the UK and US call it "endive". The rest of Europe calls it "chicory", and vice versa.
Edit by Rumtscho:
This is called "chickory" (or a clearly related word) in many continental European languages, except in Dutch. Common names in the Netherlands or Flanders are 'witloof', 'witlof' or 'Brussels lof'. (cc by-sa image by David Monniaux). It is bitter, and is often eaten as a part of a cooked dish. The root of this plant is called 'chicorei' in Dutch (so this word is related to 'chicory'), but it is used less and less (it was used as a coffee substitute).
This is called "endive" (or a closely related word) in many continental European languages, but endive or Belgian endive in the US and Canada. (cc sa-by-nc-nd image by Carlos Lorenzo). It is usually eaten raw, in a salad, interchangeably with other lettuces.* It certainly can be cooked as well (mainly the outer leaves).
There is another vegetable from the endive family. While it is commonly known as "radicchio", I've heard it referred to as "red endive". Not sure about its common use.
*sorry for the beautiful but not too recognizable picture, I couldn't find a better shareable one. Will snap it and update when I happen to buy the thing.
Further Edit by Megha :
Elsewhere, chicory is a blue flower, whose root is roasted and used as a coffee substitute. This flower is sometimes known as "root chicory" (because the roots were mostly used, I suppose), as opposed to leaf chicory, which is the endive or radicchio as mentioned above. This plant is used in the Mediterranean region, where the plant was native, and is often used in Indian coffee, and is also known in southeast Asia, South Africa, and southern United States (especially areas affected by the naval blockades during the US Civil War --Joe)
rumtscho
In Canada, I've always heard 1) as "Belgian Endive" and 2) as Endive.
in the netherlands 1) is called "witlof" (white leaf) or "Brussels lof". It's eaten either raw in salad, cooked, or sautee'd (sometimes baked over with cheese). 2) in the Netherlands is eaten almost universally cooked, rarely raw (though sometimes mashed raw into cooked potatoes) 3) is used in salads to provide accents in both taste and colour/texture
3 looks like red cabbage (CA).
– Matthew Read
The above would normally be named in the UK as "chicory", "Frisee" and "Radicchio" respectively. Although "Endive" would sometimes be used to refer to any of them, especially the first two.

From the book "Hamlyn All Colour Cook Book" (29th, revised impression 1992 reprinted 1997; first published in 1970), in the section "Useful facts and figures":
Notes for American and Australian users
In America the 8-fl oz measuring cup is used. In Australia metric measures are now used in conjunction with the standard 250-ml measuring cup. The Imperial pint, used in Britain and Australia, is 20 fl oz, while the American pint is 16 fl oz. It is important to remember that the Australian tablespoon differs from both the British and American tablespoons; the table below gives a comparison. The British standard tablespoon, which has been used throughout this book, holds 17.7 ml, the American 14.2 ml and the Australian 20 ml. The teaspoon holds approximately 5 ml in all three countries.
British             American        Australian
1 teaspoon          1 teaspoon      1 teaspoon
1 tablespoon        1 tablespoon    1 tablespoon

Note: when making any of the recipes in this book, only follow one set of measures as they are not interchangeable
There is also a question specifically on converting measurements : cooking.stackexchange.com/q/76/67
comment on How do you convert British recipes to American measurements? by Niall : not to mention that a 15ml tablespoon isn't a tables-poon but a dessert-spoon. Though for recipes this is now always taken to be ~15ml, older cookbooks will mean ~25ml when they use the term "table-spoon"
I love how American recipes call for cups for solid ingredients and then the author of "Cooking for Geeks" tried it with friends and the cup of flour varied by 31% in mass between the most extreme measurements. Lesson should be to weigh the ingredients if you profess to follow a recipe.
– 0xC0000022L
@0xC0000022L : some cookbooks (e.g., Fannie Farmer) will specifically tell you how to use the cup to measure (spoon the flour into the cup, use a knife or similar to scrape it flat without packing). If you compare that to someone who scoops using the cup, and then shakes to level it, yes, it's going to vary greatly.
Standardized can sizes (eg, "a #10 can" or "a No.1 can").
When dealing with some older US recipes, you may find recipes that mention the size of a can as a number. I have no idea if these same standards were used in other countries. (I would assume Canada, but I have no idea)
Note that this is not the same as giving a weight ("8 oz. can" or "14 oz. can"), as it's a standard about the size in terms of width & height of the can, for stacking on shelves.)
From The Spruce Eats (original link has approx weights, too; I computed mL):
Can Size Name      Volume        Metric
-------------      ------        ------
Picnic             1 1/4 cups    300mL
12 ounces vacuum   1 1/2 cups    360mL
No. 1              1 1/3 cup     320mL
No. 1 tall         2 cups        480mL
No. 1 square       2 cups        480mL
No. 2              2-1/2 cups    600mL
No. 2 1/2          3-1/2 cups    840mL
No. 2 1/2 square   scant 4 cups  ~940mL?
No. 3              5-3/4 cups    1380mL (see below)
No. 3 squat        2-3/4 cups    660mL
No. 5              7-1/3 cups    1760mL
No. 10             12 cups       2880mL (see below)
No. 300            1-3/4 cups    420mL
No. 303            2 cups        480mL
Note: "scant" means "slightly less than". The link also has a discussion of why certain foods were packaged in certain sizes.
The above chart slightly disagrees with the one from The University of Nebrasca-Lincoln which says that "No.1" and "Picnic" are the same size (1-1/4c.), but does say they are "Can size approximations".
Sizes.com gives height and diameter of various can sizes, but there's no mention if these are internal or external measurements. Oddly, their definition of a #3 can (4-3/16" dia, 4-7/8" high) would be ~67 cu.in, or 4.6 cups if I'm doing my math right ... more than a cup less than every other definition I've found) They say a #3 can is 32 fl.oz (4cups; 950mL), and a "#3 tall" seems to match everyone else's definition for a #3 (46 fl.oz; ~1360mL)
Sizes.com also disagrees with every other site about #10 cans -- they say it's 1 gallon (16cups; 3785mL) while other sites say 12cups (2840mL).
Supposedly, there were ten original sizes designated (#1 through #10, and the three digit ones came later, along with the modified types. I've also found a few others that weren't mentioned in the Spruce Eats link. (I've derived some measurements for completeness):
#1 Juice : 1-5/8 cups (13 fl.oz; 390mL)
#2 short : 1-3/4c. (14 fl.oz; 420mL)
#2 tall : 3c. (24 fl.oz; 720mL)
#202 : 1/2 c. (4fl.oz; 120mL)
#202 tall : 5/8 c. (5fl. oz; 150mL)
#211 : 1-1/2 cups (360mL)
#3 tall : 5-3/4c. (46 fl.oz; 1360mL)
#3 Cylinder : 5-3/4 cups (46 fl.oz; 1360mL)
#6 : 8 cups (64 fl.oz; 1893mL based on "double the capacity of the No. 3")

How Tall Will Japanese Cucumbers Get?
By Doug Johnson Updated October 05, 2020
How to Prune a Grapevine Before Harvest
Types of Cucumber Plants
How to Start Cucumber Vines From Cuttings
How to Plant English Telegraph Cucumber
How to Grow Cucumbers in a 5-Gallon Bucket
The Japanese cucumber plant is functionally the same plant as the perhaps better-known English cucumber (Cucumis sativus), which grows in USDA zones 2 to 11, according to the Missouri Botanical Garden. However, some differences exist in terms of the fruit they bear. According to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the fruits are longer and thinner than the varieties found more widely in North America, and they tend to have a milder flavor. All the same, Japanese cucumber plants act similarly to their peers.
On average, a Japanese cucumber plant, like its peers, will grow to a maximum height of 6 feet with adequate support.
Identifying the Japanese Cucumber Plant
Other names for the Japanese cucumber plant include the Asian cucumber and the Korean cucumber. In general, cucumbers are annual vines in the gourd family widely grown for their edible fruit. The plants are originally native to southern Asia, but now, they can be found in many gardens and commercial farms across the world. Their sizes may vary from the tiny gherkin to the longer Japanese cucumber varieties.
Cucumber plants are tendril-bearing vines, and seeing a Japanese cucumber trellis is not an uncommon sight in many parts of the world. The elongated, dark green fruit filled with pale green flesh and, often, their seeds are edible and widely sold in grocery stores and used as an ingredient in many restaurants. Common ways to prepare cucumbers include using them in salads, pickling, stir-frying them, preparing soups or eating them raw.
Growing a Japanese Cucumber Plant
Cucumber plants, including the Japanese cucumber plant, like loose, slightly acidic, well-drained and fertile soil, and they grow best in full sun. They enjoy a trellis or another structure to climb up, whether you're growing Japanese cucumber in pots or in the soil. Plant their seeds after the last spring frost date 1 inch deep in rows 4 to 6 feet apart. The plants thrive during hot summer days, and they're intolerant to frost.
According to Harvest to Table, vine cucumbers can grow as tall as 6 feet if structures are nearby for them to grow on. The ideal harvesting time for cucumbers in general is between 40 and 60 days after planting.
Pick the fruits when they are young; they become tougher as they age, and the seeds inside them grow larger as well.
Combating Cucumber Pests
A few different types of pests and diseases might prey on or otherwise harm your Japanese cucumber plants. Cucumber beetles, as their name implies, consume cucumber plants. They are easily identified by their light green shell that's also covered in black stripes. Some tell-tale signs of their presence include seedlings missing stems, leaves turning yellow, and wilting and holes appearing on various parts of the plants, according to the Farmer's Almanac. To control them, regularly check the plants for their presence, use sticky traps to capture them, cover seedlings with row covers, or manually remove the pests.
These beetles can also spread diseases like bacterial wilt and mosaic viruses. Other diseases include downy mildew, powdery mildew and angular leaf spot, while the pests to look for are spider mites, leafhoppers and squash bugs. Some of these ailments can cause significant loses in cucumber yield, so be diligent about protecting your plants.

Communicating with your co-parent about these events may reduce the frustration of trying to stick to the schedule. You may find that the children prefer being at your ex-spouse's house more if he or she has a pool or lives closer to their friends. Family counselors advise parents not to take that too personally, keeping in mind the emotional turmoil many children experience when separated from parents for any length of time.
Agreements you make with your spouse will not be legally binding unless a Colorado family court approves them. In fact, your word against your ex-spouse's may become grounds for custody disputes if there is a misunderstanding. Family counselors do not advise making any custody changes or agreeing to changes without consulting an attorney.
Meanwhile, if you and your spouse find that the custody ruling made at the time of your divorce is no longer working, you may wish to discuss the option of modifying it in family court. Your attorney can advise you on the best way to proceed to ensure any custody modification preserves your parental rights and protects the best interests of your children.

The Race Roundtables Forecast Awards Chatter Behind the Screen
ESPY Awards: Top Athletes Talk Upcoming Olympics, Reveal Their Own Sports Heroes on Red Carpet
7:24 AM PDT 7/14/2016 by Allison Crist
Russell Wilson and Ciara
"It's going to be such a dream to actually be on the squad and play in the stadiums and fight for a gold medal," says U.S. National Women's Soccer Team player Christen Press of heading to Rio.
Stephen Curry, Robin Thicke, Ciara and new husband Russell Wilson and Gabrielle Union were just some of the stars who walked the ESPYs red carpet on Wednesday night outside the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
Though the awards show, which aired on ABC, honors the past year in sports, many athletes were quick to share their excitement about the upcoming Summer Olympics in Rio.
This was especially true for Christen Press of the U.S. National Women's Soccer Team, since she'll be playing in this year's Games.
"I'm so excited to go to the Olympics," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "Four years ago I was an alternate on the team — sort of an outsider looking in — so I think it's going to be such a dream to actually be on the squad and play in the stadiums and fight for a gold medal."
Retired Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin has high hopes for this year's USA Women's Gymnastics Team, calling them "the best athletes possible."
"I think it's going to be amazing and that they're gonna come home from the Olympics with the gold for sure," Liukin told THR.
Looking ahead to the night's festivities, she shared her favorite part of the annual awards show: "Obviously being an athlete, it's so inspirational not only to see who wins best female athlete or best male athlete, but the stories," Liukin told THR. "I think that's probably what I'm most excited about — the inspirational stories."
There were definitely plenty throughout the evening, too: from the mother and brothers of Zaevion Dobson — the 15-year-old football player from Knoxville, Tenn., who was killed in December when he shielded three girls from a spray of bullets — accepting the Arthur Ashe Award on his behalf to Justin Timberlake honoring Kobe Bryant, Abby Wambach and Peyton Manning with the Icon Award.
"I think that's a great word [iconic] to describe Abby," Press told THR. "Our team misses her dearly because the presence that she has just when she walks into a room is irreplaceable."
Wambach herself called Bryant and Manning her heroes, a sentiment shared by many of the athletes present.
Cameron Payne of the Oklahoma City Thunder even said Bryant has been his favorite player "since [I was] probably 6 years old."
LeBron James also was popular not only among those talking on the red carpet, but throughout the award show as well.
Payne said he was rooting for James to win the ESPY for best male athlete, despite the close vote with other contenders including Curry.
"You gotta give it to LeBron," said Payne. "He just won a championship, brought it back to his hometown, so it's definitely LeBron's for the taking."
In the end, that was definitely the case. James not only won best male athlete, but also best championship performance and best NBA player, in addition to the three awards taken home by his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
James also joined fellow NBA stars Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Dwayne Wade in a call for action against gun violence during the show's opening.
"Tonight we're honoring Muhammad Ali, the G.O.A.T. [Greatest of All Time]," he said. "But to do his legacy any justice, let's use this moment as a call to action to all professional athletes to educate ourselves, explore these issues, speak up, use our influence and renounce all violence and, most importantly, go back to our communities, invest our time, our resources, help rebuild them, help strengthen them, help change them. We all have to do better."
Caitlyn Jenner and Vice President Joe Biden also were present for the ESPYs, though the two, among others, didn't walk the red carpet.

What is a Non-Contested Divorce in Missouri and Do I Qualify?
What is an Uncontested/ Non-Contested Divorce?
Home > Divorce > What is an Uncontested/ Non-Contested Divorce?
15 Sep What is an Uncontested/ Non-Contested Divorce?
What is an Non-Contested/ Uncontested Divorce?
The word "non-contested" or "uncontested" is thrown around quite a bit in the divorce arena. It is cheaper, faster, and involves significantly less drama. However, most clients do not understand what a non-contested divorce actually is, and why it is so much easier to get through. The term non-contested is used when the parties agree upon all of the terms of the divorce. It means that the two spouses have reached an agreement before they even entered the Courthouse for the first time. There is nothing left to fight over.
It isn't necessary that the parties get along for a case to be non-contested. Most divorced couples are beyond getting along. However, there are limits to its reach. It is almost never used in cases involving minor children. It is also rare to have a true non-contested agreement in cases where there are substantial marital assets.
The typical case, then, is a short-lived marriage without children or marital assets to fight over. Once the parties can get passed the initial hurdle of the divorce itself, they can usually get to a point of cooperation that allows them to agree upon settlement terms.
A non-contested divorce can take as little as a few months from start to finish. The average divorce case takes approximately a year. That is a huge difference. The reason is because it is all resolved upfront. Before your Attorney files the case, he or she will draft the settlement terms and make sure that both parties are on the same page.
After that, the Attorney will draft all of the paperwork necessary for the Court- the Petition/Waiver of Answer and Service, the Statements of Income for each, the Statements of Property for each, the Proposed Settlement, the Certificate of Dissolution, The Order Granting Dissolution, and any other paperwork necessary for the Court.
With all of the paperwork submitted at one time, the Judge is signaled that this can be resolved on the very first Court date.
A non-contested divorce is considerably cheaper than a contested divorce. The fees are fixed, i.e. not billed hourly, because the Attorney can predict the course of the case. There is considerably less time involved because a case is taken from start to finish in just a few short months as opposed to a year. And since the terms are agreed upon in advance, there is not extensive negotiating or preparing for trial.
Even with a non-contested divorce, I highly recommend that someone pay the flat fee to hire a competent Attorney. First of all, an Attorney is going to be in the best position to determine if the case actually is non-contested. If the spouses are not actually on the same page, then they could damage their case by trying to file it by themselves as non-contested.
Secondly, an Attorney knows what to look for in assets and rights to determine any pitfalls or special circumstances that you might have. For instances, inheritances are frequently misunderstood in divorce law as are pensions and 401(k)'s.
The third reason I would recommend hiring Counsel is because certain papers need to be filled out in certain ways with certain information in order for the Court to issue a Divorce Judgment. If you do not fill out the information correctly, then the Judge will continue your case and advise that you need to correct it. If the error is large enough, the Judge may dismiss the case and make you refile it with the corrected paperwork, resulting in a new filing fee.
In summary, a non-contested divorce is a great way for two spouses to end their marriage civilly and without a lot of expense. It is used when there are no large assets or minor children involved in the marriage. But it is still recommended that you hire an Attorney to get you through the process quickly and correctly. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office at 314-782-3500.

Release day for "Finding Shawn"
This is an exciting day. The release of my novel Finding Shawn.
Shawn and Alex have been friends since first grade.
Alex, the rock star quarterback, appears to be basking in the limelight of his success and his new romance with Pam. But appearances can be deceiving.
Shawn is the key man in the football team's solid defense. He's also the senior class' most eligible bachelor. But Shawn has no time to get involved with a girl—at least, that's what he tells his friends.
In reality, he does have a love interest… Tony Valito.
Side-by-side, the relationships between the two couples blossom. One in the open. The other in secret. That is, until Shawn's world erupts when the rumor that he's gay gathers momentum.
In trying to find Shawn, perhaps his friends will end up finding themselves. And everyone will discover how dangerous are the lives of high school athletes.
1st Book Release Pending
It has been a long road, but my first book is about to be published. I do have several self-published books. This is the first to be published by an actual publisher. And the release will be world wide.
More info as it becomes available
How sad and pathetic has Microsoft become?
You hear people say, let's keep the Internet free. Corporations are spending billions of dollars to research how to make you pay for the Internet. Microsoft via Windows 10 has found a sad and pathetic way to make you pay.
Did you notice that with Windows 10, the games are back? Play them for free. Ha Ha. Most of the games are designed so that you cannot get very far in the scoring department without help. You'll see.
Game after game you face an impossible scenario, without some help. A wild card perhaps. And extra move. After you meet a certain frustration level, a screen will appear to offer you these things. Go ahead. Choose one. And there in the middle of your game, you will get a one minute commercial. That's right. You're doing your thing, chilling out, trying to get away for a few minutes of simple fun and then smack… a commercial… in your face.
So they make you buy your wild card or extra move by watching a commercial.
I feel sad for Microsoft, that they are so hard up for money, that they will shove a commercial down our throats in the middle of a card game.
Way to go Microslut.
The Donald. What's up? I'll tell you in 2 weeks.
Donald Trump has accused Bush of not having enough energy. This may be the case, but this isn't about Bush. It's about 'The Donald'. Trump has a lot of energy. It is in his lips. They never stop flapping. He uses them to attack anyone and everyone. Even people who have nothing to do with Presidential politics.
But Donald says nothing about anything of real consequence. Oh, he does say he will do this and that, if elected President. I think he said that he would cure Cancer and add three more planets to our solar system. But he never says how. His number one line is I'll tell you in two weeks.
I remember four years ago, he said, he would prove that President Obama was not born in this country. And he said, he would release his proof in two weeks. It's been four years. You see folks, it is all an act.
Next time you see 'The Donald' speak, look very carefully. You will see little flies hovering around his mouth. They are expecting the next delivery of manure.
Is Roger Goodell a Commissioner or Prosecutor???
What with the NFL??? Isn't the NFL about Football???
Not since Roger Goodell became the NFL Commissioner. In the past few years, more and more NFL headlines are dealing with scandals, domestic violence, on field fighting and abuse and of course deflate gate. And while no more wants to blame Goodell for the actions of others, Goodell's incompetence as commissioner has helped the negative headlines to hang around a lot longer than necessary.
In 2014 when dealing with domestic abuse issues, Goodell was on again off again. Treat them easy, treat them hard. And the headlines continued.
Then there's deflate gate. This blog isn't about deflate gate it's about Goodell. How has he allowed this controversy to linger so long? It's August and everyone should be focused on the 2015-2016 season. But not with Goodell. This Law and Order prosecutor, I mean, this football commissioner is dragging this out, through the courts. Why did Goodell go to court first after rejecting the appeal? He wants a legal showcase. Why? I cannot begin to fathom. Is Roger Goodell the NFL commissioner or the NFL prosecutor?
Goodell has done for the NFL what Donald Trump has done for the Republican Party. He is distracting everyone from their original purpose. In Goodell's case, it is football.
Roger Goodell needs to go, so the NFL can get back to football and so we the fans can get back to football.
The news media are now judge and jury
We now live in a culture where we are ruled by the media. News and sports casters are now judge and jury. The facts no longer matter. Public figures are guilty with no chance to be proven innocent.
The bigger you are, the more they look for a chance to tear you down.
But who is judging the news and sports casters. Media lies and media gets it wrong way too often. The news people want to hold everyone responsible, but they do not want to be held responsible when they screw up.
We would all be better off, if we just stopped watching the news.
Is it the end of the world as we know it?
I believe we are at the crossroads of humanity?
It was amusing when people actually thought that the world was going to end in 2012, but there was also, another interpretation. The end of the Mayan calendar was to signal the beginning of a new era, but what future was foretold.
Some believe that the Mayans were warning that the human race would be at a juncture. That we would have to choose one of two roads.
The first road is to continue on with a cycle of war and hate and march toward self-destruction. The other road was to choose a road of peace and to understand that the job of humanity was to protect and nurture the earth.
Right now, it seems that we have chosen the first road. War is everywhere. Hate is seething out from every corner of humanity. It just like before World War II, except Hitler did not have nuclear weapons, drones and killer satellites.
Russian dictator Putin has one goal, and that is to rebuild the Soviet Union and then expand beyond it. He is backed by close personal billionaire friends. It reminds me of Republicans who want American boots on the ground every time somebody has a bad cough in some far off land. Are rich people so board that trying to rule the world is they're only amusement?
The next World War will be the last world war, because it will be the end of the world as we know it.
Unless the human race chooses building over destroying, love over hate and caring about life in all of its forms, then we are destined to go the way of the dinosaurs and become and extinct species.
Why would you buy twitter followers?
Buy 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 followers? I don't get it. First of all, are they followers? How can they be? They don't know anything about me. They didn't choose to follow me.
So my 15,000 followers becomes 25,000 followers. How does that benefit me? First of all, are they real people or just dummy accounts? Secondly, Will they reply or retweet anything? And third, will I be inundated with more ads to buy twitter followers from the thousands of new followers that you bought?
I already get more tweets than I could possibly read. Do I want 10,000 more strangers dumping who knows what into my feed?
I really don't understand this addiction with having massive numbers of followers who did not choose to follow you.
Think about it. You don't know them and they don't know you. Are they really followers? Or are they just an imaginary number.
Is Trump the source of the intelligence leaks?
Welcome to Trumlandia. Welcome to the 1950's.

This past Saturday, Mark and I were wiped out from busy work and travel schedules. Since the weather was also dreary (raining on and off), we decided to take it easy: no blogging or working were allowed! I didn't even touch social media all morning – wow!
I decided to try out a look I had been considering for a while but never thought I could pull off: ankle socks with a dress and/or sandals.
After all, I didn't have anywhere important to go, I really love my platform sandals and can't stand shelving them until next spring, I wanted to wear something lighter-colored on my feet, and last but not least, I decided that this weekend was a mini vacation – a time to try new things.
These suede platforms are durable, but it only sprinkled, and so, I didn't have to watch out for puddles. I love them with this sheer ankle sock with embroidered flowers at the top.
Speaking of new things, we ended up trying out this great British-style pub, Madrona Arms, near the consignment shop where I bought my first anniversary dress. Nothing like a fun outfit and a shared pint of beer with a bowl of steaming mussels to lift the spirits on a cold, windy day!
Can you see Driftwood's reflection in the window to the right?
In gloomy weather, I'm just naturally drawn to bright colors or preferably, white to elevate my mood. Although I love this little wool dress, the colors are on the dark side, and so, I layered it over an ivory-colored long-sleeved tee. (My seamstress added ribbon straps to match the belt and keep it comfortably in place, since I have a very narrow upper body).
Layering can be so fun with a strapless or strappy dress, using a tee like this, a white button-down blouse, or a sleeveless/sleeved turtleneck – sometimes, even a sweater.
What makes the socks with sandals look work? In my case, I think that the classic cut of the dress – fitted at the waist and flaring at the hips – creates a flattering silhouette. Next, high-heeled sandals are visually slimming; contrasting socks and lower heels, on the other hand, would give an appearance of heavier calves and/or legs. A midi dress or skirt also keeps the "girlishness" in check.
Of course, I ducked into consignment heaven (Driftwood) after lunch and found an amazing handbag – didn't need! – and an olive green John Galliano military style jacket – drool!
What do you think of ankle socks with sandals?
This mix looks so cute and lovely.

Magic Spectacles
by Stephanie vL Henkel |
Aug 1, 2006 1:00am
One problem with every type of eyeglasses, contact lenses, and even the plastic lenses implanted after cataract removal is that they all have a fixed focal length. Auto-focus cameras don't, but they operate on a principle that wouldn't work for a pair of spectacles. Until now.
At the University of Arizona and Georgia Tech, optical scientists have demonstrated flat, liquid crystal diffractive lenses capable of changing their focal distance. According to researcher Nasser Peyghambarian, the prototype requires manual switching to change focal distance; the commercial version will do that task electroactively.
The lenses consist of two pieces of flat glass spaced five microns apart. The space between the panes is filled with liquid crystal. The glass is coated with a 0.1 micron thick layer of indium tin oxide, which functions as a transparent electrode and transmits most of the impinging light. Photolithography is used to arrange the electrodes in a circular pattern on the lens. The application of ~1.8 V to the circuit rapidly changes the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules and thus the optical path through the lens.
Prototype spectacles were shown not to affect distance vision when the glasses were inactive and enabled close-up vision when activated. The commercial models will probably be available first for those who require the use of bi- or tri-focals. Dentists are also expected to embrace the new technology because they must quickly switch from extreme close-ups of a patient's mouth to views of more distant equipment trays.
UA licensed three patents from the work to the Johnson and Johnson Development Corp., which sponsored the research. Pixel Optics has since purchased the patent licenses to commercialize the technology.

We'd like to introduce you to bloggers Jacob and Esther of "Local Adventurer," who recently stayed at this luxury A-frame cabin in Idllywild, California. Read here to hear their glamping experience, accompanied by a brief interview.
We loved the design of the cabin. It was the perfect size for the 4 of us, and we took advantage of all the different spaces. We've stayed at our cabins before that definitely didn't have the comforts of this one.
Located on the Glamping Hub Blog is a an insightful article and interview about the details of the design of Idyllcreek, accompanied by some gorgeous photographs taken by Jacob and Esther.
You can find their blog in the Glamping Hub Blog, you can also click here to read.


Back in the olden days—that would be in the mid 60s, children—I worked in a Shell gas station in Windsor, California for a man named Joe Woodard. I learned quite a bit about being a man and about life from Joe Woodard, and I owe him for that, but that's a story for another day. I also went to High School in Healdsburg, California, and played football and trumpet, had a girl friend, went to the county fair............ But what I'm talking about here is the gas station.
We sold gasoline for somewhere in the neighborhood of 35.9 cents a gallon. Could have been 25.9 cents a gallon.....I just don't recall exactly. Point here is that it made sense to charge something and 9/10ths of a cent for a gallon of gas. Look—you could buy 10 gallons of gas, and that extra 1/10th of a cent per gallon totaled up to a penny. American currency and coin had not yet been completely decimated in value back then, and that penny could be given to your young child, and that child could go to Bob's Market Basket on the Old Redwood Highway and actually purchase a piece of candy for that penny. Anybody got an idea what you can buy for one cent American these days? Nothing. That thing that costs one cent does not exist.
So, why, when gasoline is now $4.15 a gallon here in the rust belt, does the actual price have to be $4.149? What is the purpose of the 1/10th of a cent now?
Exactly, Grasshopper. There's no longer a point to it. Just call it an even cent, OK?
No problem—Just ask me and I'll give you a solution to your pressing problems.
This whole business of our less valuable money brings about a recurring thought of mine. I know, I know.....Here it is anyhow--Our money needs an overhaul.
We now have four actual coins in the Realm—the penny, the nickel, the dime, and the quarter. There's a couple of others that are, um, coined, but not really used—the half dollar and the dollar coins. Then, we also have some paper money in common use—the one dollar bill, the five dollar bill, the ten dollar bill, the twenty dollar bill, the fifty dollar bill, and the hundred dollar bill. There is another that is printed, but not really used--the two dollar bill. There are some bigger bills too, but, as before, not really used.
As usual, you're welcome. Joe Woodard would have approved. He was a sensible man.

Host Brian Kilmeade has a problem with the phrase "Allahu Akbar," a phrase similar to saying "Thank God"
Professional bully Brian Kilmeade was looking for some back-up from Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) when he expressed outrage at footage of Syrians chanting "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!" after a rocket took down a Syrian fighter jet. Instead, Kilmeade got a lesson in Islamophobia.
"I have a problem helping those people out if they're screaming that after a hit," said Kilmeade, a knee-jerk reaction to something that he presumably thinks implicates these men as terrorists.
McCain, who has been a longtime proponent of intervention in Syria, argues that action against Assad will require a broad use of force.

The Mooseman: Beautiful, Eerie, Yet Unsatisfying
June 25, 2021 GamesFinno-Ugric culture, indie games, Perm animal style, playstation 4, PS4, puzzle game, review, Sometimes You, The Mooseman, video gamesduckofindeed
Ever since I have begun buying digital games, I have found no shortage of interesting, artsy looking options. Beautiful they may be, but more often than not, these games prove why you shouldn't judge something based on looks alone. The most recent example of this is The Mooseman, an extremely intriguing looking game that is meant to explore the ancient mythology of Finno-Ugric culture.
On the surface, this game looks absolutely amazing. The online description says the graphics were inspired by "Perm animal style", the soundtrack Komi folk music. Judging from looks, and sounds, alone, this game is stunning and unforgettable. The problem is…this is supposed to be a game, too, and that is where The Mooseman is sorely lacking.
You control one of the seven Moosemen, and you begin your journey in the Lower World of the dead. Your trek eventually takes you through the Middle World of mortals and finally to the Upper World of the gods. With a press of a button, you can see things that are otherwise hidden from the mortal eye, and later on, you also get a light that can protect you from harm.
Screenshot by The Duck of Indeed
The atmosphere of this game is very eerie, and being able to see things that were previously invisible is definitely unsettling. Again, the whole tone of the game is spot-on. If only I could say the same for the gameplay. First off, your character walks very slowly. Secondly, this is supposed to be somewhat of a puzzle game, but the puzzles were usually very easy and rarely ever extended beyond switching between seeing the visible and the invisible. Frankly, I was right to be concerned when, early on, the game told me I could press a button to walk automatically.
The other problem I have is the way the game's lore was presented. From picking up artifacts to reading new bits of the story from idols, the mythology and gameplay are disjointed because pretty much all explanation is done through bits of text in the pause menu. So you walk ever so slowly for a bit, reach another idol or artifact, pause and read the new bit of text, then continue on your journey. It also doesn't help that the pause menu is rather cumbersome to navigate. Normally you can pause a game and then press a button (like B or circle) to back out without actually needing to select Continue. In this game, you have to scroll to the bottom every time you want to exit, and the button you press to leave the pause menu affects the game as if you weren't paused at all. (Also, at one point, I was unable to interact with the menu at all and was worried my game was frozen for a good minute or so.)
I understand that mythology can be complex. But if you're going to try to incorporate it into something like a video game, it needs to be, well, actually integrated into the game, not told in separate snippets in a pause menu. I have played plenty of games where a story is conveyed wordlessly through fun and interesting gameplay. GRIS and Inside are two of the best examples. If The Mooseman had taken this route, I think it could have made for something really amazing. Even if the mythology has to be simplified just a bit to be told through gameplay, I think people would have found the experience interesting enough that they may want to learn more about it later. (I could totally see a theory video online where someone who has researched the mythology could explain the whole journey in even greater depth. From my own experience, this has often given me a greater appreciation for what I just experienced, not less.)
The game took me just under 2 hours to complete. It is normally sold for $6.99, though I got it on sale for roughly $2.50, which felt more fair considering the short length. While The Mooseman is extremely unique when it comes to presentation, and the mythology was fascinating, I couldn't recommend it based on gameplay. The whole experience would have made for a better animation than a video game. Sadly enough, I think this game may have taught me to not be so easily swayed by looks alone.

Q: Not enable to make a where clause after a Left join using subquery When i try to make a sub-query with a left join i got an error here's an example.
Select * FROM ( SELECT Code,Column2 FROM T1) TSubQuery, Table2 T2
Left join Table3 T3
On T3.Code = TSubQuery.Code  --  <== Error triggered
Where TSubQuery.Code= T2.Code

this code will triggered the following error :

Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 The multi-part identifier
  "TSubQuery.Code" could not be bound.

So i solved this problem by changing my Where into a Inner join clause.
Select * FROM ( SELECT Code,Column2 FROM T1) TSubQuery
Left join Table3 T3
On T3.Code = TSubQuery.Code
Inner join  Table2 T2
On T2.Code = TSubQuery.Code

I would like to understand, why I have this error ?
there's an other way to solve it without using an inner join or with a with clause ?
why I don't have this problem when am I using a normal table or with a  with table ?
Example:
With TQuery as ( SELECT * FROM T1)
select * from TQuery, Table2 T2
Left join Table3 T3
On T3.Code = TQuery.Code
Where TQuery.Code = T2.Code

A: At first as I say in the comment before, do not use Old-Style joins.
What causing the error is that you have the same column name in both table (Code column in your case), and SQL Server will don't know which one you refer too, like you say to me "Esperadoce" and I say which "Esperadoce" you refer to?.
What would be the solution for that?
The solution is using Aliases as:
SELECT T1.Code AS T1Code, T2.Code AS T2Code From ...

Also you have a Mixed query with Old and modern style joins, So solution would be:

*

*Use Columns names with Aliases instead of SELECT *.

*Use Modern style joins instead of the old style, and do not mix them.

A: Implicit JOIN is the problem here, see the line below
 FROM ( SELECT Code,Column2 FROM T1) TSubQuery, Table2 T2

and pay attention to
TSubQuery, Table2

remove that coma and move table2 to a explicit join. You are mixing the old "deprecated" syntax with "modern" explicit join.
Deprecation of "Old Style" JOIN Syntax: Only A Partial Thing

A: Don't use the where clause for join conditions. Do this, working fiddle
SELECT
      *
  FROM
      (
        SELECT
              [Code],
              [Column2]
          FROM
              [dbo].[T1]
      ) TSubQuery
    JOIN
      [dbo].[Table2] T2
        ON TSubQuery.[Code] = T2.[Code]
    LEFT JOIN
      [dbo].[Table3] T3
        ON T3.[Code] = TSubQuery.[Code]

The legacy join syntax is obsolete and provided only for backward compatibility. And whats more, it sucks.
Additionally, for what its worth, don't use SELECT *.

A: Try this
with TSubQuery
as
(
    SELECT Code,Column2 FROM T1
)
Select
    *
    FROM TSubQuery
        left join Table2 T2
            on TSubQuery.Code= T2.Code
        Left join Table3 T3
            On T3.Code = TSubQuery.Code

A: the subquery can be avoided in this way:
SELECT Code,Column2 FROM T1 as TSubQuery
Left join Table3 T3
On T3.Code = TSubQuery.Code
Inner join  Table2 T2
On T2.Code = TSubQuery.Code
