text: We have had our peach trees for about seven years and never had anything bigger than marble sized fruit. This year we finally had some peaches that were edible. I'm not a peach guy but Rosie said they were pretty good after cutting out any bad spots. The cherries did well for the first in years also. I don't see having an orchard as part of my hobby list in the near future.

Energy-harvesting solar displacement unit
The Titus Plexicon uses a wireless, energy-harvesting process to power the unit to heat, cool, and use solar energy as its power source.
Titus HVAC has expanded the Titus Plexicon line of displacement ventilation systems to include solar capabilities. The Titus solar Plexicon uses a wireless, energy-harvesting process to power the unit. It is the only displacement unit in the industry to heat as well as cool, and use solar energy as its power source. The solar Plexicon uses a wireless, energy-harvesting platform to power the auto-changeover action when changing to the cooling or heating mode. Other benefits include eliminating the need to design and integrate a secondary system for the heating requirement, which saves time and energy during the planning and design phase. In addition, building owners reduce costs by eliminating the secondary system and contractors can reduce the cost and time required to install a secondary air delivery system that includes additional ductwork, diffusers, and controls. The solar Plexicon is designed to operate with all types of HVAC systems in the market including single duct, dual duct, fan-powered, DX, and others.

Barbara's Golden Pound Cake109 Reviews 3 Pics

"I made this recipe up many years ago when I was wanting a pound cake recipe that wasn't so dry. There is no salt or baking powder or soda called for. This makes a very large pound cake and gets its volume from beating. If you have a stand mixer, let it run the whole time you put the ingredients together. This cake always gets requested and raved over."

Original recipe yields 1 - 10 inch bundt pan
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating very well after each. Stir in the lemon extract and vanilla. Beat in the flour alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool, then drizzle with lemon glaze.
- To make the lemon glaze: Put the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl. Mix in lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, until desired drizzling consistency is achieved.

Excellent recipe!!! The first one I attempted was a lemon cake. When I poured it into the bundt pan I saw that the batter was too much to fill the pan so I filled it to where I thought was enough, then I put the rest of the batter in a cupcake pan which made 11 cupcakes. The cupcakes were done in half an hour, the cake was done in 45 minutes and it still seemed to be overdone by the appearance and texture of the crust, but it was AWESOME when I tasted it!! I think I doubled the lemon extract to 2TB and it had a very good lemon taste. The cake still rose a lot and almost ran over the edges of the bundt pan but managed to be contained. The second time I attempted the recipe I just made it into a vanilla cake instead of lemon and ended up adding maybe 3TB of vanilla to make sure it tasted like a vanilla cake and not just a "yellow" pound cake. Again, the batter was too much for one bundt pan so this time I put some into a metal loaf pan. (Maybe I should have used regular pound cake pan??) The cake turned out so good and moist and my in-laws loved it and kept sneaking slices throughout the day!!! My MIL even said my recipe blew away her mother's pound cake recipe because it was dense, yet soft and so very moist. The crust comes out a golden brown and is ever so lightly "crunchy." Even though the cake takes forever to mix (and I used a stand mixer and took probably 30 minutes mixing it) it's worth the time. Your family and guests won't be disappointed!
I bake a lot of cakes and this one went in the trash. It was terrible-- it did not taste like a pound cake at all. Please do not waste your time or effort in baking this cake. It does not deserve the 5 star rating by any means!!
Great pound Cake! My first time cooking it. I didn't have shortening and neither lemon extract, anyway I went ahead and made this cake using 1 1/2 cup of butter and added 1/2 tsp. of baking power. I had people coming over for dinner and that was dessert. They ate it even when it was still warm. They loved it. I had baked this cake several times with the same great results and keep giving away the recipe. Thanks Barbara!

As I See It
Jack Garvey
---- — Awed by the stylish design of my employer's new van, the young attendant leans into the window for a look at the dash as soon as he puts the nozzle into the tank.
I keep nodding and saying "uh-huh," agreeing that I'm lucky to have so many bells and whistles, some of which I'll never use or even know what they are.
But he dwells on one — an outlet for ear-pods or headphones — that will allow me to "crank up the tunes and let the miles fly by."
For this he won't take a simple yes for an answer. I try deflecting his good-natured prods with self-deprecation:
"I'm too old for that."
"Don't you listen to music?"
"Yes, but nothing I want to plug myself into."
"But this'll shut out everything else."
"Such as what? Sirens? Motorcycles? Some other driver or pedestrian needing my attention?"
So exuberant is he over what he considers my new fringe benefit that deadpan jokes are lost on him. I ignore his next few sallies.
Perhaps he recalls my crack about being old when he urges me to imagine Beethoven without the roar of Firestones on 495, the brakes and horns on 128, the bang and clang of loading docks in the North End.
Oh, it's tempting! Which may be why I finally turn toward him, our faces a foot apart. Still, I hold my tongue until he grins, "Why not?"
"Because I'm better than that."
He lurches so quickly back that anyone present may think I shoved him. The grin melts into amazement, then protest:
"What? You're saying that I (expletive) because — "
"Wasn't about you. Was you kept talking about me."
When he stands speechless, I can't help myself:
"What about you? Can you tell me how many justices sit on the Supreme Court?"
After a moment's surprise, he squints upward before looking right at me: "Eleven?"
I remain silent, expressionless, so he tries to trump the question:
"Well, I know they serve for life, and that presidents are elected for four years, and representatives and senators for two."
By today's standards three out of four isn't bad, although that still seems a low bar for a college student — and demoralizing for me since I know that he attends my alma mater.
Just then the nozzle clicks full, and I laugh aloud at a new twist of an old expression: saved by the pump!
Regrettably, he takes the laughter to be at him and offers a retort while preparing the receipt. Of all possible numbers, the charge is $50.50.
"Shouldn't talk politics, man! Politics (expletive)!"
But the question is not political. It's simple civics — and there's nothing liberal or conservative about a number that is a basic fact of American government.
Much like me when I wouldn't hear his endorsement of audio technology, he won't hear my suggestion of what in this world matters and what does not.
Offering a conciliatory and deliberate "take care," I roll away thinking only of how America has become — to borrow a recent book and film title — no country for old men.
Not because of generational taste, but because our perception of pleasure and purpose is so divided — so mutually exclusive — that any purpose at all is often taken as an infringement on pleasure.
If, as a canvasser working to undo "Citizens United" complained last summer, we now regard it "impolite to talk about politics," where does that leave "of the people, by the people"?
And doesn't it turn Lincoln's third phrase into "for the inattentive"?
Result is not just an inability to distinguish politics from civics, ideology from history and opinion from fact, but between those who work for and those who work against public interest.
Hence, for dysfunctions such as the "fiscal cliff" and "debt ceiling," both sides of Congress are blamed, 50/50.
Those devoted to making government fail are then rewarded for calling government a failure, while those trying to make it work are ridiculed as fools.
It's as if we keep wiring ourselves into our own dashboards to shut out all sirens and needs of the real world.
How is it that we not better than this?

On September 12 and 13, I met in Washington, D.C. with the Advisory Committee for the National Assessment of Career and Technical Education (NACTE). The committee is charged with research and reporting on the impact of Perkins IV legislation. The NACTE Final Report to Congress will be released in a few weeks. I wrote a significant portion on the impact of education reform on CTE and was also responsible for including language in the report about employability skills in reform efforts through career and technical student organizations.
National Assessment Meeting at the U.S. Department of EducationSeptember 30th, 2011
HighlightsSeptember 30th, 2011
- Washington appointments for SkillsUSA WorldTeam are coming right along. We now have a confirmed appointment and location for a briefing on the House side hosted by the CTE Caucus. Both Representatives and Senators will be invited to the briefing. It also appears we're set to meet with staff from the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee in the afternoon. Invitations have also been extended to The White House and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. We're hopeful of team coverage in the AOL/Huffington Post in addition to continuing coverage in PARADE. The reporter working on the Huffington Post story said her editor saw the PARADE article and said: "Here's the way to put a face on what we're covering. Let's do profiles of these students."
- On September 7, SkillsUSA West Virginia Director Paul Lovett and I visited my alma mater Mercer County Technical Education Center. We spoke to 24 teachers and administrators, did some training and delivered some SkillsUSA materials. The result? Mercer County Tech is going to be a 100 percent school with 600 members.
- On September 16, I joined Rosanne White and Sandy Honour of Technology Student Association in Baltimore for a meeting with Dr. Vince Bertram, the new CEO of Project Lead the Way. It was our first opportunity to do an orientation on the two organizations for Dr. Bertram and to discuss a relaunch of the Engineering Alliance. Dr. Bertram was extremely interested, and we'll follow up with a proposal.
- And, on September 22, I presented to the U.S. Department of Labor Advisory Committee on Apprenticeship near Baltimore, Md. They wanted me to speak about SkillsUSA because they believe there are many areas in which we can be cooperating. I was accompanied by Caleb Houston our parliamentarian from Ohio. The opportunity was created in large part by our long-time friend Bob Baird of the Independent Electrical Contractors, along with Steve Mandes of National Institute for Metalworking Skills and Greg Chambers of Oberg Industries, Inc.

The President with the PresidentsSeptember 29th, 2011
I want to share this photo from from our experience at the NBC News Education Nation Summit which was held Sunday, Sept. 25 through Tuesday, Sept. 27.
President Clinton was part of the special closing event where he shared his observations about the importance of education for America's future.
It was an amazing experience.
CTE and Air Products on CBS Evening NewsSeptember 28th, 2011
NOTE: We were notified just before this was supposed to air that the piece was pulled at the last minute. CBS is planning to run it at some future date, but at this point we don't know when that will be. When we know, we'll post it here.
I've received word from Air Products that last Friday a correspondent and camera crew from CBS Evening News arrived at Air Products to talk with John McGlade our SkillsUSA CEO Champion of the Year.
The topic was the role of career and technical education in preparing students to enter the world of work. Air Products believes John was selected for the interview because of the company's commitment to SkillsUSA. Air Products said: "John was glad to participate because it was another chance for him to share his passion and support for CTE and SkillsUSA."
Following the interview in John's office, the crew went to one of Air Products' facilities and then to Lehigh Career and Technical Institute for an interview with director Clyde Hornberger.
Air Products was told a two- to four-minute segment will likely run on Wednesday, September 28. That could change depending on the news of the day, but I wanted to alert you to the possibility that SkillsUSA will be referenced on the evening news.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a good story on career and technical education.
Education NationSeptember 26th, 2011
A quick update from NYC. Our two national student presidents, Victoria Holbert and Chance Litwin, are representing us well. Starting yesterday afternoon, we participated in the premiere of a new film "American Teacher" and a discussion that followed, moderated by Al Roker and Jenna Bush.
The agenda is packed with sessions that engage high level discussions on the American Education system. This morning alone, speakers have included Tom Brokaw, Warren Buffet, Melinda Gates, Mayor Bloomberg, Secretary Arne Duncan, Ann Curry, Sal Khan and LeBron James.
Right now, I'm in a session on the changing face of education (sponsored by State Farm) and the students are in a session by Detroit Public Schools. There is much much more slated today and tomorrow. The Summit is being streamed online at EducationNation.com and broadcast on MSNBC and CNBC with special spots each morning on NBC Today.
We took advantage of the only free time yesterday before the Summit kicked off and I took the students to the Top of the Rock for a great city view, to a NYC Pizzeria for lunch, to the center of Times Square and for a deli sandwich and New York cheesecake for dinner.
Visit with Lowe's in North CarolinaSeptember 15th, 2011
We had a great meeting with Kelly Persons, Shannon Delp, Greg Palese and Troy Dally at Lowe's on August 24. In addition to a discussion of how things went at this year's national conference and initiatives for next year, we also had an extensive discussion of how to involve more vendor partners through the Championships, TECHSPO and "lunch and learn" sessions hosted by partners. Along those lines, Electrolux had four corporate representatives at a breakfast meeting with us. Kelly Persons encouraged their greater involvement in the Championships and to join the YDF. There were also outstanding presentations by two of our new student national officers: Victoria Holbert, high school division president and Diego Carvallo, high school division Region II vice president. There was a great dialogue session among the students and the Electrolux executives, and the students provided input throughout the meetings.
Advisor Training in Caroline County, Va.September 15th, 2011
On August 25, I was back doing teacher training at the school level again. It brought back great memories of my days as a state association director. The Education, Training and Assessments Department was already totally committed and on the road doing other training, so staff and I conducted training sessions for a group of 14 high school and middle school teachers, including two administrators at Caroline High School in Va. We covered topics from the Chapter Management Institute including the program of work and officer elections. But there were new things too, such as CareerSafe, Lowe's grants and all the new items we have online and available for members this year, such as "Five Simple Steps to Start a SkillsUSA Chapter." SkillsUSA never stands still.
HighlightsSeptember 15th, 2011
- The SkillsUSA WorldTeam received coverage in the Labor Day weekend edition of PARADE magazine. And, there was much more extensive coverage online, including the team members' biographies. Here is the link: www.parade.com/what-people-earn/americas-skilled-workers/featured/110904-at-last-good-news-on-jobs.html. PARADE appears in more than 600 Sunday edition newspapers. PARADE is the largest circulation magazine in the country with 70 million readers of the print edition and 40 million online. More coverage in PARADE online has been promised this month.
- Board member Joe Pietrantonio stopped by the National Leadership Center on Wednesday, August 31. Joe met informally with all of the staff members who were in the office and then sat down with staff to discuss Air Products' support for the furtherance of the Champion of the Year Dinner. Additionally, SkillsUSA is fortunate to have the very personal support of John McGlade in helping us build this program.
- While attending the state association director conference in Louisville, I drafted a letter to President Obama asking him to meet with SkillsUSA WorldTeam when it is in DC on September 30. That letter was sent to The White House scheduling office on September 1. We also sent them a notice with the PARADE magazine article link. If all goes according to plan, the team will begin its day in Washington at the offices of The Manufacturing Institute hosted by YDF member Emily DeRocco, meet with members of the CTE Caucus, visit with the President and visit members of Congress.
Lowe's Grant WebinarsSeptember 14th, 2011

By Rebecca Croomes
To celebrate the birth of one of America's greatest civil rights leaders, community groups will march on the Square Monday, Jan. 21.
The local NAACP chapter and the Lincoln Bridgeforth Park Committee have a morning of events planned to commemorate the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
"Dr. King had a dream and we're still celebrating his dream," said David Malone, Lincoln Bridgeforth Park Committee board member. "We're hoping to inspire someone to fulfill their dream."
Festivities will commence at 8:50 a.m., when marchers will gather on the south side of the courthouse to pray. From there they will march around downtown, making their way to the Athens Event Center on Pryor Street, across from the Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives.
"We have a fairly decent turnout," NAACP President Benard Simelton said. "It's growing."
Simelton said this march is simply commemorative of the marches King made during his lifetime and is not designed as a protest. The group will sing traditional songs and chants of the time as they go.
"To honor him is the least we can do," Simelton said. "In addition you learn something."
After the march, the community is invited to the event center where the winners of the NAACP's MLK Day essay contest will read their works, and the park committee will present the Dr. C. Eric Lincoln Humanitarian Award, which Malone said is given to a local person. There will also be a performance by the Round Island Creek Missionary Baptist Association Male Chorus. The park committee will host Judge Emma Woodruff as guest speaker.
Simelton said he looks forward to listening to the contest winners, students from across the county who wrote on a theme about citizenship.
"It's always interesting to hear their thoughts," Simelton said. "We want to learn about what they're thinking, what's on their minds. We're really looking forward to what they have to say about that theme."

2008 Chevrolet Impala
I have an 08 Chevy Impala and when the car is in park, I hear a lot of sloshing water and the heat turns to cold. Feels like the A/C is on. I have been hearing the sloshing noise for a while but I have only noticed recently that the heat is cold when the car is in idle or parked. A few months back, I had a warning light flash on the dash saying Engine hot...A/C automatically shut off and my temp gauge went cold (wasn't reading). The message went away the next morning on the way to work and the gauge was working just fine. After that I started smelling antifreeze as if there was a leak or the car was running hot. No leak and the car hasn't run hot.
Frustrated Chevy Impala Owner

first off my key would not turn off all the way, found the problem on the right side of the gear shifter and fixed the wire all good again, a week ago today the car would not come out of park nor would my key turn off all the way. so i have re wired the plug and bought a new shifter for the car, none of that has worked, i was told today it maybe the brake pedal position sensor. Can someone help me out on this matter? really getting frustrated as chevrolet dealerships keep telling me they are 99.9% sure this part will fix it! well each time i am in that. 1% of the part that doesnt work.
If you would like for us to follow up on this with your dealership, rmwebster3, please email us at email@example.com (include your name, contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN, and a summary of the situation). We're sorry that it has been so hard to nail down a root cause of the brake pedal issues you've been having.
Sarah, GM Customer Service
I drove my 2008 impala to the local gas station last Thursday, got gas, returned to my car..only to find I could NOT shift out of park. No forewarning, no issues whatsoever prior to this. I had my car towed to the tune of $65.00 for a two block tow, left it at the dealership I purchased my car from. I then went home and got online and did my research. Friday morning, dealership calls me to tell me what I had already guessed, wiring below my shift area needed to be "Repaired". NO NEW PARTS, service just reattached the wires. Now, $305.00 MORE dollars later, my car is back in my garage. I, however am not happy! Seems this, AS WELL AS the constant replacement of worn tires issue is common for my beautiful car! I am appalled that the shift wire issue is not a recall, and even further appalled that I have purchased two full sets of tires and two single tire's for my 2008 Impala since purchasing the car 1 1/2 years ago! I need to know who to contact about seeking reimbursement of the $400.00 I shelled out this week! :mad:
fscarz Posts: 5Hey everyone. Posting this to make others aware of a mistake that I made with this car. I am overall still way down on Chevy for their treatment of me, and I have discovered yet another annoying feature of this car.
A couple of months ago I clipped a curb at an odd angle, and while I did not flatten the tire, there was some damage to the wheel, so my mechanic suggested that I change the wheel.
Without realizing the ramifications, I went to the local junkyard and purchased another Chevy wheel for my car and had a spare tire put on the wheel and had it mounted on the car. The junkyard offered me $20 for the old wheel, and I thought, why not, and let them have it.
After changing the wheel, the dashboard computer told me that I needed to service my tire monitoring system. I figured this was because of the new wheel, so I just hit the checkmark button and went on my merry way. The message because persistent after a while, and so I decided to check into how to make it go away.
Apparently, there is NO WAY TO SHUT THIS OFF! If anyone knows how to do this, please post a solution. The solution that I got from Chevy was that I need to spend the $200+ for the new wheel with the air pressure monitor. Sorry Chevy, but that is NOT going to happen. I was able to get a perfectly good used replacement wheel for $20. Why should I pay $200 MORE plus the labor charges, etc. etc. etc. just to have one tire with an air pressure sensor that I really don't care about!
Also, for those of you measuring your gas mileage, be careful, and don't believe the dash computer. I use my gas station receipts, odometer and a little program called Excel to calculate my mileage and it is always LESS than what the dashboard computer reports.
Just another way that Chevy makes you think you are getting a good product when all they are trying to do is suck the money out of your wallet.
Good luck everyone, and don't clip those curbs! Expensive mistake!
We can look into reimbursement, although we cannot guarantee what the results of our inquiry would be up front. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with more details (including your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).

chevyowner3 Posts: 1I am also an owner of an impala 2008. I am having the same problem you have. The first time my gear shift got stuck the dealer said the shift was not assembled properly at the manufactoring company. This happened at 35,000 miles. It happened again at about 73,000 miles. I do not want to take the car back to the dealership because I do not believe they are telling me the truth. I also have a problem with the tires. I have already gone through three sets of tires, brakes, and rotors. I had mentioned this when I took it to the dealer and they replaced the rotors and brakes for 1300 dollars and they also recommended that I purchase new tires. When I took it to an unaffiliated mechanic, he told me that the rotors were undersized for the size of the car and this was the cause of the premature wearing of the rotors, brakes, and tires and that this was very unsafe to drive on the freeway. We also noticed that on the freeway, the car would start bouncing when the brakes were applied. In the mid 1990s, Ford had the same problem with the Tarus, I believe, and the problem was the undersized rotors. The car also has a major oil leak. I have also called the customer service at GM and they never returned my call. The salesman that had sold me the car later told me that we had the same problems with Impala.
We're sorry to hear about these troubles you've been having with your Impala, as well as the communication difficulty you've experienced with our Customer Assistance Center. When you called, did they set up a Service Request (71-**********) for you? Please forward us that number or the last 8 digits of your VIN via email at firstname.lastname@example.com with a brief summary of the situation and we will check into what happened with this.
Sarah, GM Customer Service
What are your plans for getting this checked into? If you are planning on working with a dealership on this and would like for us to stay with you through that process, please email us at email@example.com with more information (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).

well I took it into the dealership i bought it at and they changed sparkplugs....after riding it a few times did the same thing. brought it back in they said was sand in the valves...enviromental replaced that ...ran it awhile again am fed up still doing the same thing . costing me more money to fix this then am also frustrated and irritated on this.
ablades32 Posts: 1This will be my second impala, I have had an 05 and my 08 I currently have. Now I never had any problems out of my 05, now my 08 is something different. First off I'm not taking my car to the dealership for repairs and get charged outrageous prices and then something else goes wrong and have to take back to get charged even more. Second, about six months ago I had to replace my intake manifold gasket and air compressor. Intake manifold gasket was never suppose to go bad, is what I was told by a Gm mechanic. When calling GM to get reimburse for this they just gave me free maintenance package. 6 months later the air compressor had went bad again. My mechanic went to get the replacement part for my 3500 engine and it wasn't the same one he had taken off the day nor the one 6months ago. Needless to say I will have to come out of pocket $450 for another compressor! My certified mechanic believes that my compressor is the same exact air compressor of the SS model, which its engine is 3900. How can that be? Next for the past few months my check engine light has been on. My mechanic one again did a diagnostic check, the message read something about the emission system, so he cleared it tighten my gas cap (something that I always do), it stayed off for about a day or so. I have been taking my car to him at least twice a month to make sure nothing is wrong. I even had Onstar do a check and it says the same thing and I tighten the gas cap and the light is still on. I am frustrated as hell and don't have dealership money to throw around at all. Please GM don't tell me to take it to a dealership and not cover the expenses. Are there any present recalls for the 08' impala Ls model? Any suggestions?
papav Posts: 1I also am having terrible problems with the wear on the tires of my 2007 chevy impala. I thought that it must have been in an accident that bent the frame or something (I bought it when it was a year old, from a dealership), but now reading the posts I think it is just a chevy problem. that is very disappointing. I also have a problem with the wiper motor going out. twice already (and it was only 2 years old the first time. also the throttle positioning sensor had to be replaced ($300) because it shut down on the freeway, then it started but had to go to a dealership and have it replaced before going home. I have been VERY unhappy with this vehicle. it rides & drives very well and is very room but is not very dependable. I wish they would do a recall for the tires it is just annoying that we have to replace the tires so often!
laruwery Posts: 2Bought this car almost 2.5 years ago and began experiencing some surging in the transmission recently. Took it to the local GM Dealer and had them run test since I was nearing the end of my warranty and wanted it taken care of since i knew there was a transmission issue. As expected no codes popped up so they had a kid drive the thing around couldn't replicate. So instead of addressing the issue they tried to sell me more transmission services (flush, etc.) insisting this was the issue. Turns out according to Service Bulletin 10023432 this problem is well documented. Now three months later I am out of warranty and looking at a $4,000 dollar fix. How convenient for GM and the dealership, right. You would think GM certified techs would look at bulletins but why do it for free when you can tell the customer he is crazy and charged him 4,000 in a few months.

I was looking for a no-cook recipe to use some zucchini and this fit the bill. The first time I made this exactly as written and it was good, although a bit wet. The second time I made it, I tossed the shredded zucchini and cucumbers in a salad spinner and spun out some of the moisture - made a huge difference! This recipe is easily adapted to any taste. I've substituted italian dressing mix for the ranch dressing mix. This is delicious with ripe tomatoes, and the addition of leftover cubed ham, smoked turkey, grilled shrimp, grilled salmon or mahi mahi. I use fat-free miracle whip in lieu of mayo and set the "additions" up buffet-style on the counter. Everyone can add whatever they like. This is a great summertime lunch or light dinner. Thanks, Vickie!
This is so good with a whole wheat tortilla or pita bread! It gets pretty soupy as it sits so I would recommend eating it fairly quickly. Great recipe!
A great way to use up the cukes/zucchini in the garden. I didn't have ranch dressing mix and used Old Bay seasoning and didn't use the pepper. A very creative sandwich filling, especially with fresh sliced tomatoes.

Actor Ed Asner presented his one-man show as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, then stayed to answer student questions about acting, acting out and more.
"I crawled out of a death bed to be here with you … It's the biggest damn mistake I've made. … so, what can I do for you? What do you want?"
Such was the greeting to students, staff and faculty at a special Q&A session Monday afternoon — and it was no less than one would expect from a sniffly Ed Asner.
The award-winning actor performed his one-man show as Franklin Delano Roosevelt on Sunday, as the culminating installment of Pacific University's Performing Arts Series. Leaning on double-canes and wheeling himself around stage in an antique wheelchair, Asner spent more than two hours essentially delivering a monologue — at times talking to the audience, at times to invisible characters off stage — that recounted the pivotal leadership and experiences of the four-term U.S. president.
From his frustration in the paralysis stemming from a bout of polio to his indecision in his first opportunity to run for New York governor and through the trials of his presidency — helping the nation recover from the Great Depression, fighting the isolationists, responding to the attack on Pearl Harbor and leading America through its portion of World War II — Asner portrayed an FDR that was determined and decisive, as well as flawed and emotional.
On Monday, Asner presented a somewhat similar character, if a little gruffer, as himself during the Q&A. Whether in one-sentence quips or long stories, he answered a myriad of questions on his life as an actor and as a political activist. The following are a few highlights from the hour-long session.
On his dream role:
"I didn't yearn. It was never, 'I want to do my Lear, I want to do my Willy Loman. … I never had a Hamlet. I like the Shakespearean histories better than anything. … I like the histories more than the tragedies, and I don't think much of the comedies. … Ben Johnson, he's my boy. Have you ever done Ben Johnson here? Work on it!"
On the changing trends in movies and television:
"It's all a phase. We go through the westerns, we go through the Star Treks, we go through the reality TV. It's all designed to make money and to save money. Reality TV, of course, kicked the crap out of actors. But they'll hire actors again. You go to the movies and you see seven previews and they're all crash-bang. The finesse of human beings is lost. … But I think it'll be a phase. Someday, we'll go back and rediscover, 'Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?' and we'll delight to hear it."
On advise for aspiring performers:
"Never trust a producer. … Get on stage if you want to be an actor. Get on stage however you can do it. Keep your backbone when you're on stage. Don't take any sh--. In this chaotic age, it's hard to find who to trust. … Dedicate your self to building a name as an actor, and always keep in mind the idea of producing your own shows, of guaranteeing your life because no one else will."
On Pixar's Up:
"I had eight sessions, four to six hours each. I didn't see the animation. I worked alone with the producer. I didn't know where it was going. I had some idea of the kind of guy I was playing — they chose me after all. … The highest compliment for me, in recording, the producers told me the animators were very pleased with the variety I'd given them. That, to me, was fulfillment."
On other comedic actors:
"Ted Knight was the funniest man I've ever known.

President George W. Bush: 'Revive the Spirit of Citizenship'
Commencement address at University of Notre Dame, May 2001.
BY: President George W. Bush
Thank you, Father Malloy. Thank you all for that warm welcome. Chairman McCartan, Father Scully, Dr. Hatch, Notre Dame trustees, members of the class of 2001. It is a high privilege to receive this degree. I'm particularly pleased that it bears the great name of Notre Dame. My brother, Jeb, may be the Catholic in the family -- but between us, I'm the only Domer.
I have spoken on this campus once before. It was in 1980, the year my Dad ran for Vice President with Ronald Reagan. I think I really won over the crowd that day. In fact, I'm sure of it, because all six of them walked me to my car.
That was back when Father Hesburgh was president of this university, during a tenure that in many ways defined the reputation and values of Notre Dame. It's a real honor to be with Father Hesburgh, and with Father Joyce. Between them, these two good priests have given nearly a century of service to Notre Dame. I'm told that Father Hesburgh now holds 146 honorary degrees. (Applause.) That's pretty darn impressive, Father, but I'm gaining on you. As of today, I'm only 140 behind.
Let me congratulate all the members of the class of 2001. You made it, and we're all proud of you on this big day. I also congratulate the parents, who, after these years, are happy, proud -- and broke.
I commend this fine faculty, for the years of work and instruction that produced this outstanding class.
And I'm pleased to join my fellow honorees, as well. I'm in incredibly distinguished company with authors, executives, educators, church officials and an eminent scientist. We're sharing a memorable day and a great honor, and I congratulate you all.
Notre Dame, as a Catholic university, carries forward a great tradition of social teaching. It calls on all of us, Catholic and non-Catholic, to honor family, to protect life in all its stages, to serve and uplift the poor. This university is more than a community of scholars, it is a community of conscience -- and an ideal place to report on our nation's commitment to the poor, and how we're keeping it.
In 1964, the year I started college, another President from Texas delivered a commencement address talking about this national commitment. In that speech, President Lyndon Johnson issued a challenge. He said, "This is the time for decision. You are the generation which must decide. Will you decide to leave the future a society where a man is condemned to hopelessness because he was born poor? Or will you join to wipe out poverty in this land?"
In that speech, Lyndon Johnson advocated a War on Poverty which had noble intentions and some enduring successes. Poor families got basic health care; disadvantaged children were given a head start in life. Yet, there were also some consequences that no one wanted or intended. The welfare entitlement became an enemy of personal effort and responsibility, turning many recipients into dependents. The War on Poverty also turned too many citizens into bystanders, convinced that compassion had become the work of government alone.

THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE HAS FLIPPED in President Bush's favor. The public now firmly supports toughened border enforcement plus—and this is a big plus for the president—a system for letting illegal immigrants already in America earn citizenship. ... [snip] ... The ones with the politically untenable position are Democrats who want an immigration issue (but not actual legislation) to use against Republicans in November, and Republicans who want merely to increase border security.The upshot is that an immigration bill appears likely (but not certain) to pass when Congress returns from its Easter recess on April 24—and probably in a "comprehensive" form congenial to Bush and Republican congressional leaders. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert have indicated they back this approach, not a bill simply calling for stronger border security.The turning point came in March ...
Hastert? Here's the latest WaPo report from Earth:Republican House members facing the toughest races this fall are overwhelmingly opposed to any deal that provides illegal immigrants a path to citizenship — an election-year dynamic that significantly dims the prospects that President Bush will win the immigration compromise he is seeking, according to Republican lawmakers and leadership aides.The opposition spreads across the geographical and ideological boundaries that often divide House Republicans ... [snip]Despite some national polls showing strong support for a comprehensive solution of the sort favored by Bush, nearly every GOP lawmaker interviewed for this article said the House plan to secure the borders and enforce existing immigration laws is unquestionably the safer political stand in his or her district. Many Democrats from vulnerable districts say the same thing, although the Democratic Caucus as a whole is more sympathetic to a Senate-style compromise.
Americans hold strong and conflicting views about immigration that underscore the difficulties Congress will face in reaching a final legislative deal on the issue, an analysis of USA TODAY polling data shows.The public splits into separate camps over whether illegal immigrants should be able to work toward citizenship, whether they help or hurt the economy — even whether immigration is an urgent problem that must be addressed.
• The hard-liners. "The most urgently concerned and the least sympathetic to illegal immigrants. Think immigrants' removal would help the economy. The only group with majority support for a fence."• The unconcerned. "Not at all concerned about the issue. Generally sympathetic to illegal immigrants. Think their removal would hurt the economy."• The ambivalent. "Support letting illegal immigrants stay and work toward citizenship but also the most likely to say their removal would help the economy."• The welcoming. "The most sympathetic of any group toward illegal immigrants and the most likely to believe their removal would hurt the economy. The only group that thinks dealing with illegal immigrants already here should take priority over border security."
"You're talking about irreconcilable groups that represent substantial parts of the population," says Roberto Suro, director of the non-partisan Pew Hispanic Center. "A compromise that 50% of the population can go for leaves half the public feeling unhappy, and very unhappy."
The ones with the politically untenable position are Democrats who want an immigration issue (but not actual legislation) to use against Republicans in November.
Congressman Elton Gallegly predicted Thursday that the House would refuse to go along with an immigration reform bill approved in the Senate unless negotiators strip away a provision allowing immigrants who entered the country illegally to become U.S. citizens.[...]But Gallegly said he is confident that the House will not support any bill that includes amnesty."If the conference committee capitulates to the Senate, then this will never see the light of day," he said. "It won't get out of the House."Passing legislation involves compromise, "but the art of compromise doesn't mean you capitulate on core issues," Gallegly said. "And amnesty is an issue that to many is non-negotiable. We have found that clearly that doesn't work.""If they want a bill other than just happy talk," Gallegly said, "it's going to have to be a bill that has serious, assured methods of enforcement and no rewards for those that are here illegally."
Since the most concerned group are the hardliners, and since they're disporportionately Republicans, why exactly won't the Republicans who have a majority in both houses right now simply appease the section that corresponds most closely to their base, as well as the angriest section, and pass a border-enforcement only law, perhaps with a cleverly designed fluff or two that pretends to offer some sort of legal entry incentive but actually does nothing in pragmatic terms?
Immigration is a great topic changer.
I don't trust those breakdown numbers. I really don't. I know I only have the anecdotal evidence of my experience with people, but they seem way off. In fact they seem way off from what was bandied about just a few months ago.

A word from China Grill - New York
China Grill provides a globe-spanning culinary adventure in a spectacular setting. While Asian flavors and techniques are an influence, the menu is labeled as "world cuisine" with virtually every dish being prepared on either grills or in woks using ingredients gathered from pantries around the
globe. Portions are generous, dramatically presented, and meant to be shared family style. Spectacular architectural settings, including an exhibition kitchen in the center of the restaurant are also part of the China Grill magic, creating a place to see and be seen.

I've been coming to China a Grill
for 30 years. My kids grew up coming here so they always want to revisit. The food was happily just as wonderful as always. Funny how the Confucius chicken never changes. Unfortunately, our waiter wasn't very attentive and seemed to be focused on another table. Overall, we had a good night just not amazing!"
Dined on 7/29/2014
So many courses, tons of food, but
everything was so good, I couldn't stop eating! Just wish we had more time to enjoy the food and the space. If you are seeing an 8 p.m. show, definitely get reservations for 6 p.m. or earlier if you want to do the tasting menu (which I would strongly recommend). Will go back very soon."
Dined on 7/26/2014
This restaurant has become a
favorite of mine. The food never disappoints as it's consistently great, lovely presentation and an excellent wait staff. If all restaurants delivered like china grill I'd have a hard time picking a dinner location."
Dined on 7/25/2014
This lace is very spacious and
interior design is soothing and tranquil, especially for a hot summer day. Portion of the food was generous, and waiter was very knowledgeable and professional. Chicken satay was crispy outside and tender inside and delicious. Dumplings were gracefully presented with ample sauces.The main courses were also very good. Salmon was baked just right and taste of drunken chicken was well balanced. Would come again."
Dined on 7/25/2014
The food was delicious and
presented well. The server did not come to our table for over 15 minutes. Them brought drinks 15 minutes later, watered down with melted ice. Food was flavorful and beautiful."
Dined on 7/24/2014
I visited the restaurant a year
ago and had a very good experience maybe because it was late afternoon and the place was almost empty. I went again this week. The food was less impressive or unique, the service was ok. We had their "Restaurant week" menu so that might be the reason."
Dined on 7/24/2014
1st visit for my husbands 40th
birthday.The food and the service was amazing!"
Dined on 7/24/2014
China Grill has a raft of
interesting dishes that make it possible to have a tasty light lunch of assorted salads or a multi-course lunch or dinner covering a variety of ingredients and textures. Two can have a nice business lunch or dinner, and larger groups can take a tour through the interesting menu and share all of the flavors. I have never had a bad meal at China Grill, and know that I can take people there with confidence that they will leave happy and, if they have not been there before, occasionally impressed."
Dined on 7/24/2014
We ordered several dishes from the
the restaurant week menu, all of which were mediocre at best. It was beautiful inside and the service was excellent, but the noise level was a little too much. My friends and I got exhausted trying to talk over the loud surrounding noise."
Dined on 7/23/2014
I hadn't been to China Grill in a
long while but had expectations of it being as great as it used to be. For starters we shared the Crackling Calamari Salad where the calamari was hard, greasy and fishy tasting and the Spicy Beef & Scallion Dumplings, which I've had better from inexpensive local chinese delivery. For entrees we had the Sweet Soy Marinated Skirt Steak which was tasty but not the best cut and Barbecued Salmon which was nothing to write home about. Both entrees were cold when they got to our table so that put a damper on things as well. The chocolate cake with white cream in it for dessert was another disappointment that was dry and tasteless. On a good note the staff was very polite."
Dined on 7/23/2014
stopped in for Restaurant
Week...never disappointed!"
Dined on 7/23/2014
I love China Grill - it's unusual
(some people call it fusion) cooking - all is great! And their $25 lunch special during restaurant week cannot be beat! Includes an appetizer, entree and shared side dish and dessert with your special someone."
Dined on 7/22/2014
I've been to China Grill numerous

I was very unimpressed with my
experience at China Grill. While the service was very good and staff very friendly, the food was very mediocre and not worth the high prices."

China Grill is a great staple and
always a nice to have go-to for dinner. The food is still really good and the service is always very good. Are there newer, more exciting places to try? Absolutely! But it's always a nice, easy option for dinner and it never disappoints!"

The food was great and our waiter
was so knowledgeable of the menu and made wonderful recommendations. The crispy pork belly over watermelon was superb! The sliced sirloin with roasted potatoes was also delicious."

Chicken Salad is sooooo good. The
calamari salad is sooooo good. The deep fried spinach is soooo good. The Lobster pancakes are delicious... Make sure you save room for dessert - The Wall and The Banana's in a Box!"

This was our third trip to New
York and the China Grill will forever be a must stop. The service, food, and experience is outstanding. We tried everything from Martinis to desert and nothing disappointed. We recommend the lobster pancakes and drunken chicken. Divine! Don't forget the Great Wall for desert."

China Grill was fantastic. Both
the food and the service were wonderful.....a great experience."

The food was fine. Good
presentation but a very loud restaurant which made it difficult to visit with friends. Not a bad experience but I wouldn't go back."

If you want to taste a bunch of

Are here this week after not being
there for a year. After waiting too long to place our order service ended up being excellent. What was really disappointing was the good. The calamari salad appetizer had an odd taste to it, as did the grilled shrimp. Worse yet nothing was served hot. Best case food items were served warm. The place wasn't busy at all as this was an early dinner before a Broadway show. Dessert seemed to have been prepared in a factory far away. Overall the meal reminded me of eating at a large chain like Houlihans. Nothing was terrible but certainly not worth the money spent."

This was a bizarre night at China
Grill. We made a reservation through Open Table and upon check in, we found out that our only option was sitting outside (sidewalk seating) or at the bar. What is the point on accepting reservations if you can't have a decent table? We sat by the bar, and were left there unattended for the rest of the night. The hostess took our order, after we complained, another guy asked what we wanted to drink and he had no idea what an Arnold Palmer was. The food was decent but the service was a joke for a restaurant that used to be a hot spot and now works more like a low end fast food joint. Never going back!"

Food was delicious, BUT the
portions were small and very pricey!"

It's a shame that it is impossible
to dine at this beautiful restaurant because you literally cannot have a conversation. I was exhausted after having to scream across the table to my guests because of the noise level. Put some acoustics in, please"
Dined on 6/11/2014
You can eat at the bar from the
main menu or a $7 small bites menu. We tried both. Calamari and lobster dumplings were great. Miso cod for entree was super. Great staff friendly"
Dined on 6/10/2014
acoustics were not good - too much
surrounding noise and that does not mean energetic on the rating scale but that is the only choice that means loud"
Dined on 6/9/2014
Beautiful, handsome, stylish, and
comfortable atmosphere inside or out. Recommend: Caesar salad, Grilled garlic shrimp. Service was excellent. Bento box which is served at the bar looked like a great quick lunchtime option. Special thanks to the hostess who made every effort to welcome me and my guest."

I've been eating at China Grill
for 15 years. Consistently terrific food - the lamb riblets are the best in NYC, and the spicy dumplings are perfect! When the weather is good, the outside tables are delightful."

We visited China Grill (& New
York) for my birthday - it had been a few years since we ate there. Food was absolutely fantastic - lobster pancakes to die for, and beautiful shrimp with fettuccine!! Service was super at the start - with Tom Dolan, a true professional - but it was a bit patchy after he finished his shift! Great ambience at the front of the restaurant while we were placed at a very quiet spot at the back (is this normal treatment for non locals?) "

My husband and I had an amazing
dining experience at the China Grill in New York. We had a fabulous table, perfect service, enjoyed the tasting menu and people watched! The tasting menu portions were very generous and were a good variety of flavours and China Grill favourites. Thanks China Grill, we'll be back."

Good service on top of food. Had
plenty of time pre-theater. Steak and tuna were excellent. Would go back. Recommend."
Dined on 5/24/2014
Menu is misleading, they do not
have items they specified on the menu. The cheapest wine is starting from $50 price tag, but do not expect they are better wine cost $9.99. Do not go there unless do not have any other place to go."

We stopped for Sunday brunch
before a matinee. Scrambled eggs with lobster were delicious. Great service, nice atmosphere. Very convenient to the theater district."

A free public lecture by US Geological Survey research biologist Robert Fisher
Exciting discoveries are spurring research to uncover hidden secrets deep within South Pacific tropical forests. A scientific expedition roaming the forests of Papua New Guinea recently discovered a new species dubbed the bumblebee gecko.
Some Pacific Islands species are endangered, while others pose emerging threats to nearby wildlife and ecosystems. How are scientists studying these species, and what are herpetologists finding while studying Pacific lizard biodiversity?
This USGS public lecture will also be webstreamed live and archived at http://online.wr.usgs.gov/calendar/live.html

PLATTSBURGH — There seemed to be a better than average chance Wednesday night's Northern Soccer League boys' contest between Beekmantown and Plattsburgh High was headed for overtime.
But Skye Dominy's goal with just 3:02 remaining in regulation provided the margin of difference in the Eagles' important 1-0 Division I victory.
The Eagles (6-2) were able to bounce back from Monday's tough 1-0 setback at Saranac Lake.
"This was a big win for us — a confidence booster," Beekmantown coach Ryan Loucy said. "This was good for team morale and chemistry.
"Plattsburgh is a very talented team and we always seem to have good games with them here."
Both Beekmantown and Plattsburgh (6-3) had some scoring chances, but very few high-quality ones.
The Hornets had their best opportunity to take the lead come with just under eight minutes left in regulation when Garrett Frady worked hard to get past a couple of Eagle defenders to find open space in front. But Beekmantown keeper Matt LaClair was up to the task, robbing Frady from point-blank range.
"That was a phenomenal save," Loucy said.
The Eagles would then apply some pressure of their own and Dominy tallied the game-winning goal after taking a pass from Nick Danussi.
"I got the ball from (Danussi) on the outside, saw an opening, made a little cut and picked a corner," Dominy said. "It worked out perfectly."
"It was a good goal — Dominy's a crafty player," Loucy said.
Plattsburgh High coach Chris LaRose credited the Eagles with taking the Hornets out of their game.
"We started to run out of gas at the end," he said. "We started losing our legs.
"We got out of our game a little and we spent too much time trying to stretch the field. But that's a credit to Beekmantown's defense. We had won four games in a row and came into the game a hot team."
