Residents of a valley neighborhood spotted a body floating in a canal near 36th Street and Camelback Road Sunday morning.
At this point in the investigation, Phoenix Police aren't able to say if this is a murder, a suicide or an accident.
They can't say for certain if the body discovered is that of a man or a woman.
The path along the canal that runs parallel to Camelback Road is a popular spot for an outdoor workout.
Sunday morning the portion from 40th Street to 32nd Street on the south side was closed.
"As soon as we had come around the corner, the police were putting up the caution tape and I couldn't get through," said Craig Lerfald, a witness.
"I could see it, you could see something sticking out of the water. You really couldn't tell exactly what it was," said Holly Vana, a witness.
Phoenix Police were called to the scene about 9:20 am by area residents walking by.
Paulina Elder spoke with them minutes later.
"They just say that they saw the body, she could tell it was somebody because she could see his or her feet," said Elder.
A tow truck and divers were brought in to remove what investigators quickly confirmed was a human body.
"Don't have a gender, don't have an age, it had been in there for quite a while as you can tell by the state of it there was a lot of dirt and stuff like that on it. So, they put that body into a bag and then lifted it out of the canal to preserve as much evidence as possible," said Lt. Stan Hoover, with Phoenix Police.
Hoover says it's too soon to tell if foul play was involved, it's possible the body drifted from 56th Street and Camelback.
But for people who live in the area, like Elder, this is one discovery that sits too close to home.
"I run on this canal every other day and it is scary, it is a concern, it is my neighborhood and it's just--it's scary," said Elder.
Police say the body was fully clothed in baggy clothes, including a hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Phoenix Police Department.

That is my plan. I have two small Pyrex storage containers about six inches across so will use those to make jojo's cake for blowing out candles and then have cupcakes for everyone else. I just settled it in my head ten minutes ago! Great minds think alike at the exact same time!

Bridget, when was your birthday? Do we share a birthday??
I miss a lot in here too. You guys are so chatty!

Ack! How adorable is Abbey???
Karen, my birthday was oct 30. So is Chrissy's! You?
Jojo's birthday sounds intense!! I am glad we don't do bday parties for the kids. I don't think I could take the pressure!
And...speaking of birthdays. My sweet Savana is 6 today.
Yesterday the daycare kids were all, "Ooooh! We will come to Savana's birthday party! When is it?"
I love y'all with all my heart but you cannot come over on the weekend. I didn't say that of course and we always work together to bake a cake for each child's birthday so we do have a party of sorts with all our little friends.
LOL@Bridget's birthday comment. That's the kinda thing I would've thought, too! Last year, Travis' party ended up being a big bash and we spent way too much money on a 3 year old's birthday party! We'll keep them more low-key going forward. The trend here is that once they start school, a lot of people invite the whole class over for a big party, but I don't think we'll do that!
Molly, your hubby and daughter are sooo cute!
We had a good time handing out candy last night; the kids stayed up late and were full of excitement!
As for socializing, my husband and I are both really quiet people and we don't have loads of friends, but we do have our close friends that we get together with every now and then. We do share most friends, but we each do have friends that are our "own" friends...his being his "band and football" mates and mine are my colleague/teacher/American friends.
Once we finally got there, Conner & I had a good time at the Trunk or Treat they hosted at the high school. The village didn't ban tot'ing, but they strongly recommended all the kids go there because of the flood debris still on many sidewalks. Plus a lot of houses are still inhabitable.
I gotta say, I really liked it. The lot was nearly full and each car had it's trunk open. Many were blasting Halloween music and/or were decorated for the occasion. Lots of fun!
Conner filled his little pumpkin basket (those dollar store ones) and 1/3 of the cars were out of candy by the time we got there. It only took 45 minutes or so and we were done. I loved it!
Here's a news story about it:

We have never had trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood before in the past 7 years that I've lived there, but last night we got quite a few. I was surprised. I think maybe our National Night Out party in September made people feel more comfortable coming out. There was one woman who came to the door and said she was up there "for my kids" and was being very vocal about telling her kids to catch up and hurry up now, so I lingered at the door to see their costumes. I saw her go to a few more houses, being very loud the whole time to her kids about how they had to hurry up. The kids never appeared. I'm pretty sure she was just a poor woman with a sugar craving, making a show of having kids so that people would give her candy. The twins were very excited about this whole TOT concept, since they've never done it at people's houses and they loved having people come to our door, but most of the people that came rang the bell after they were in bed.
Mylah, they only had slight fevers for the day of the Halloween parade, and nothing since, so they were probably just fighting off something that day. It was good seeing you and sorry it was such an impossible venue to talk. Thanks for posting the pictures. I'll send you the one I took of you. It was cute and not blurry. We'll have to have a playdate in a scenic spot just so I can take some pictures of you and Bodhi together.
Bridget, everyone at school always asks about coming to birthday parties, and I feel the same way. DD is already planning her party. She is making lists of who to invite and what food to have. I keep telling her it's not until next July, and she's not allowed to plan it out loud until June. DS invited four random people on his walk last weekend to come to our house for dinner.
Happy birthday to our birthday girls!
My dh is not social at all. He doesn't return phone calls from the friends he has, let alone attempt to make new friends. The only time he can maintain any kind of social contact is when he's forced to, like at work or school. He actually has some good friends at work, and he does stuff with them, but they have to make all the effort. I do all of our social schedule, but we hardly socialize at all with other adults. We feel so overwhelmed with the little free time we have, and most of our activities now are with our children. When we do get out with other adults and our children, it's really hard to talk to them because we're chasing our children the whole time, or one of us is chasing our children and feeling overwhelmed and taken advantage of while the other one is socializing (that's why parties are hard). I have pretty much lost the friends I had before I had kids. I get out and do stuff, but it's occasional and random, and it's only with other moms, either in my twins group or with people I met through here. I don't have the kinds of relationships where I can talk seriously about things or where people know what's going on in my life. Except here, and I also have some people at work that I feel close to. I keep thinking it will get easier as the children get older, and I also am starting to feel like my children are getting to the point where they can be good companions sometime instead of just work.
Suja, I am very happy for your friend.
Oh, and back to Bridget. I hate hate hate it when people say something mean and then try to dismiss the insult by saying they were kidding or put the responsibility back on the other person by the second insult of "what's the matter, can't you take a joke?" It's just plain bullying. I know it's just a routine way of communication for some people, but when I'm around people who talk like that, and I start to realize that is their habit, I (now that I'm an adult and can do it) tell them I don't think it's funny. When I was in high school, it just made me miserable.
ETA: I don't even think about being cool enough or not cool enough to hang out with Mylah. Should I be?

Happy Birthday Savana!!
I got to where I really liked the kids' birthday parties. Maybe it was conditioning...or I'm just nutty.
Abbey is an adorable strawberry!
Happy Birthday Savanna!
Last night we saw the most adorable puppy, a 2 month old Jack Russell terrier. All puppies are cute, but man that puppy had the cutest face. It gave me a serious case of puppy fever. Until I think about how hyper JR pups can be. Not sure I am ready for that, but then maybe that is a good excuse to go for long walks. I am used to couch potato dogs, Dachshunds, they are very happy to snuggle on the couch thankyouverymuch. But I know we are not ready for a dog, Gilly needs to be older, he's just too active for a little puppy. Plus we don't have a fenced yard, so we'll wait a few more years.
Gilly had a blast ToT last night, he was Buzz Lightyear, we went with his friend Sally, she was a fairy princess. G had his inflatable jetpack, and Sally had wings, they were so funny walking side by side with their wings. I noticed not as many people were handing out candy this year. Maybe the economy? I heard one group of people say they spent $40 on candy. Seems crazy doesn't it?!

Halloween is pretty quiet in our neighborhood. When we went out, we left the candy on the porch and not much was gone when we got back. We got maybe 30 kids total when we got back.
We ended up TOTing in a different neighborhood that is huge and DH went to when he was a kid. Josh peed his pants about an hour in so we went home.

We tend to be homebodies here, it's been ages since we've had people over to our home. We have a few friends, most of them are dh's friends, he's met from work and his volunteer work. When I was working it was a small office, only 3-4 employees, so it's hard to meet people. I have found since becoming an adult, and leaving school it's hard for me to meet friends. When G was born I looked for mommy groups, but I never found one that I liked. I used to go to La Leche meetings, but I never clicked enough with any of the moms to make a friend. It's one the reasons we want to move, this town can be very cliquey and exclusive. That is so not us at all. How we ended up in this town is so surprising to me.

Happy Birthday Karen! And Savana, Josh, and JoJo!
Lots of Scorpios around here.
Abbey woke up sick, and all she wants to do is lay on the couch and watch cartoons. I feel guilty for letting her watch cartoons all day and guilty for not letting her watch cartoons all day.
I'm going to try to pry her away from Clifford by making soup from scratch. She usually likes helping me in the kitchen.
Happy Birthday Savana!!! I hope she has a wonderful day!!
I don't really do kid birthdays either. I guess I do do something for them. I have a party usually for Ky every 4 years. He is due for another when he turns 12. We are also going to Disney (me and my lying self ) for Ky's birthday (which I don't want to do but now I feel like I must so I am going). Elle has never had a party. I took some cupcakes to her daycare on her birthday and she dressed as Spiderman Girl Princess and that was enough for her. I was happy.
My DH is extremely social. He has a lot of what I call "loser friends." I don't consider everyone I meet my friend like he does. He has "friends" that he doesn't even know their real names. To me that is not a friend. His associate that he calls the "Haitian Sensation" comes to mind. Or the ghetto-popular name "Ray-Ray." (All ghetto people know a Ray-Ray). They are not people I would like to hang around so I don't really speak to many of his friends except Corey who was our former neighbor and I love his mom because she is the best seamstress I know and his friend Tony who I used to work with and who I let stay with us for a few months when Elle was a baby. One of his friends just had a birthday and he is what I call the "tacky friend." He sends out invites to his own birthday every year and always puts at the bottom BYOD (bring your own drinks) and bring the "birthday boy" either $30 cash or a bottle of (insert expensive drink, this year it was Hennesey which is not as expesnive as years pasts). DH is so silly to me because he usually does what the invite tells him to do. After he told me that this friend sent him an invite I asked what liquor he wanted this year and DH then remembered that this friend does this every year and decided not to go. He finally agreed that the man was tacky.
I thought it funny one day because I invited DH to come to a dinner party that one of my friends was throwing for Mardie Gras. She is from Lousiana so throws a Mardi Gras party every year and invites all her friends from the neighborhood, some of whom I am also friends with. It was the first time DH went with me and he met a lot of nice people, one even made his own beer. He had great conversations with different types of people outside of his "loser friends" (he gets kind of ticked that I call his friends this but most of them are losers IMO). He admitted that I have better friends than he does after that!
I don't think about being cool either. I was a band geek, principal's list, teacher's pet, tattle tale, nerdy girl when I was young. But I was also tough and could kick some butt so no one messed with me and I was rather popular. Most of the kids in my high school knew me and I knew them. I always thought I was cool. I am vain like that. I still think I'm cool. Most people in high school that were referred to as the "cool kids" were some phonies IMO and I thought I was way cooler than they were. I don't know where I got that mindset from but I have always been rather vain and thought highly of myself so I don't know.
Happy Birthday, Savana! And belated B'day wishes to Bridget, Chrissy, and Karen(?).
I'm very good at chatting up random people, but *terrible* at developing and maintaining friendships. The few friends I have, I made at the dog park ages ago, and that was mostly because as regulars, you kinda see the same people over and over and over and swapping dog sitting duties really helps cement that bond. And the few friends DH has, are all work/college friends from ages ago.
We really need to have our friends over to inaugurate the finished basement/bar (especially the bar). It's kind of hard to plan an adult party with the little critter on the loose. Plus, I seem to have chosen a batch of people all of whom have some weird food related quirk or the other.
Couple #1 - Hubby likes super spicy. Wife cannot tolerate spicy AT ALL, and cannot have anything acidic (that includes all berries, oranges, limes/lemons, tomatoes, peppers, etc.).
Couple #2 - Husband only eats PLAIN food. If it's got more than salt and butter/olive oil on it, he won't eat it. To give you an example, he'll only eat cheese pizza. Of all the ice creams on the planet, he'll only eat vanilla and mint chocolate chip. Wife is a vegetarian. She also does not drink (she's of Polish/German descent and has a really hard time when she goes back home to visit family) .
Couple #3 - Husband won't eat spicy. He prefers regular American fare over everything else, and really loves stuff like venison, pheasant, etc. (which I wouldn't know what to do with). Wife has strange "rules" about food. Something about chocolate not touching fruit, and veggies not touching meat or somesuch.
Anyone want to handle the menu planning?
Wow I missed alot!
I think its crazy that Bridget, Karen, and Chrissy all have the same bday! What are the chances??
We don't socialize much. DH's friends are on a different 'level' than we are. They still like to party, get drunk, and act stupid. I don't have time for that nonesense on a regular basis I hang out with my mom and my aunt more often than not, our big night out is BINGO I actually told DH the other night that I hated that we didn't go out with people anymore. I always feel like he was never interested/didn't like my friends, come to find out he says he gets uncomfortable and worrys they won't like him Poor guy, his childhood really messed him up, but I guess when you get called stupid/dumb your whole life its bound to have an impact DH is not overly social at all, he is fairly introverted, but not one single person we've met has *not* liked him. He is extremely personable when he allows himself to be Maybe we'll go to the Renaissance fair this year with a girl from work and her hubby. We went a couple years ago and he really enjoyed himself! Thats not for a few more month though, so I gotta think of something (cheap) for us to do. We both desparately need to get out of the house!!
Abbey'smom (I'm sorry my brain completely failed on your name ) I think it is fantastic that your DH let your DD pain his nails! And dressing up as a kitty! What daddys will do for their little girls!
Suja how did you manage to make friends with people with such oddball food aversions?? My mom can't allow any of her food to touch each other (with a few exceptions) which is hilarious since my dad literally mixes everything together before he eats it. Ah, the southern way
I was everywhere in highschool. Never really was in a 'group' I floated around depending on my mood between stoners, geeks, freaks, 'popular', and my favorite the flat out weird kids I don't relate 'coolness' into who I want to be friends with. I know all too well that outward appearances mean very little when it comes to who people really are
I know I'm missing things, but I think this is long enough for now
I like the potluck idea! Or just do what you want and let the picky people deal with it. I say this as a picky person. I only eat cheese pizza, don't do very spicy things either. Or anything with mayo/miracle whip like pasta salads. Or eggs except in baked goods. No fish or seafood. Things like that. If I go eat someplace, I eat what is served or I just pick around it and eat the bread and desert or whatever.
LOL Erin. My lying self would be right there with you. I actually asked DH about it because in 13.5 years I have NEVER known him to tell a lie, not a little one. He is incapable of BSing it and that really hurt him in job interviews (he basically feels like unless he's an expert in something, like say excel, he doesn't feel knowledgeable in it...I kept trying to get him to see that experience in something=proficient but whatever). Anyway.....he actually said in the case of DW he would fudge a little if the child was really close. Kind of surprised me because I thought he wouldn't! Ideally I hope to take future baby there right before 3 but if the timing works out where kid is just over three, sounds like we will be lying a bit. The park would still get plenty of money from us because I would likely have at least a 5 day park hopper pass for all of us. My morals have no problem with this.
My favorite of all time sort of lie was when I was shopping with my mom for a dress for a school dance. We found one and bought it (hunter green lace with a slip under...very 90's! LOL). Dress was $69 and was absolutely not on sale. Went to check out and the girl at the register held it up in front of us and said Oh My God, this is huge. Dress was a size 24 so yeah it was a big dress but the store was one like where half was regular and half plus sizes. My mom gave her a look to kill and said something like, when you work in a store that sells plus clothes you should learn to keep your mouth shut or you should find another job. Girl was flustered and rang the dress up at $26. Neither mom nor I corrected her on that one and normally we would have.
I would have also totally lied and said I was a Christian for the adoption agency but DH wouldn't. I was happy that they took the statement of faith from us as the UU principles which we do believe....though I sort of made it like we were more churchy than we are. I mean I like going and feel like it's our religion.....but we aren't members (said that we weren't but planned on it) and well I seem to only make it maybe once every 2 months. I just can't seem to get up early enough to be there at 10am Sunday mornings.
Uggg, on my second cup of coffee this morning and it's not doing it yet. I was up past 2 last night for no good reason.
Oh and I'm not cool. I think I'm pretty awesome but yeah cool is not me. I like more nerdy things like sci-fy and reading and doing goofy things like putting DH and I in matching colors when we go out in public together. And I find nerdy men hot. I loved that fact that DH was into chess, studying something in school with the word physics in it, liked to program games on his graphing calculator for fun and that he loved to read and we could have these really deep conversations (not so much anymore, but than again I really haven't done that kind of reading and thinking for a while either....might be fun to do this winter though, pull out some Plato and read it together and talk about it).
I do warn you all though....if we met in person, I'm kind of quiet and shy at first. I'm better if I have a drink.....or get talking about cosmo. LOL
I'm kind of sorry I mentioned the coolness topic. Just to be clear, I don't go through life meeting people and deciding whether or not they're less cool/as cool/more cool than me. That's a very junior high way of looking at the world that occasionally creeps into my feelings, but in no way interferes with whom I choose to spend time with. When I mentioned I thought the other mom might be too cool for me, I really meant that she seems incredibly confident and free (and is a good surfer), and not "cool" in a hipster sense at all. I'm to blame for maybe conflating the 2 definitions of "cool" during our discussion. I have a fairly low tolerance for hipsterism, having lived in that warehouse, and later on in Silverlake in LA, where I got to watch my neighborhood go from poor but safe to oppressively hipper-than-thou. In the Bay Area, in particular, I feel like you can walk into a coffee shop and identify the people who've chosen their friends on the basis of just how alternative and disaffected they appear. I smile too much to be a hipster. The books "The Hipster Handbook" and "Generation Ecch!" both sum up my feelings on the topic fairly well (at least the last time I opened them, which was 5 years ago).
This might really gross you out but my all time favorite comfort foods are mashed potatoes or buttered noodles with corn mixed in. I also love corn or broccoli mixed in my mac and cheese. Or a slice of cheap white bread with cold spaghetti on top of it.
Can you tell I have a thing for carbs?
There's this one mom of Syd's friend that is 'too cool' for us. By that, I mean she's running an organic farm and has animals and all this stuff that I know Rich would have loved to have. She's 'his type' of woman if I know him at all. She's actually very sweet and always shows us around and explains in detail what she does and why (Rich is fascinated, I'm lost). Anyway, every single time I'm around her I say something stupid and she just looks at me. Not with any expression-but I cringe inwardly. It's always over stupid things and she doesn't hold it against me...but I'm not sure what it is about her that gets me so out of sorts.
I don't dwell on it or feel overly bad-I'm more curious about why I'm that way around her and I laugh at myself. I definitely don't feel threatened by her or anything either. She's a wonderful person. I just happen to act like an idiot every time I'm around her.
Mylah, I totally get it. I find myself having thoughts like that when I am hanging out with the homeschooling families. Like, part of the reason I haven't gone to a skill share night is that I feel like I don't have a skill to share and plus they have a music circle at the end of each night and I do not play an instrument.

text: WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. officials say a draft Defense Department audit criticizes one of the Navy's security review programs for lower level contractors. But that process was not the one used to evaluate the former reservist who gunned down 12 people Monday at the Washington Navy Yard. Aaron Alexis, the 34-year-old information technology contractor involved in the shooting rampage, had a secret security clearance for his job. He went through a different, more extensive review. The Defense Department Inspector General found that a separate system used to review some contractors did not properly vet the workers. That program is generally for contractors who don't have security clearances. Officials described the audit on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss a draft report. He was granted the clearance in March 2008.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

The Rabun County woman at the center of a GBI animal cruelty investigation struggled for years with money problems.It's just one of many new developments in an I-Team investigation that exposed how Boggs Mountain Humane Shelter killed dogs and cats while deceiving donors who gave cash thinking the animals had really been adopted.Reputation means a lot to people in the mountain community of Rabun County. They even debated whether they should mark the 40th anniversary of the filming of the movie "Deliverance" because of the image it portrayed. But for many people this latest controversy is even more disturbing."We've all been very supportive and to hear something like this happening is unbelievable. Unbelievable," said Sue Willis, the owner of Grapes and Beans. Everyone in the community thought highly of Boggs Mountain Humane Shelter, a supposed no-kill operation that rescued dogs and cats not just from Rabun County, but from shelters and pet owners across the southeast who just couldn't care for their animals any longer. But a whistleblower told FOX 5's I-Team that much of Boggs Mountain's no-kill reputation was a lie, with more than 100 dogs or cats euthanized just since May. Even worse, some of those dead animals were supposed to be saved through the "Lucky Dog" program. Owners paid at least $100 to guarantee their pets would not be put to sleep. Boggs even sent deceptive emails or cards, that falsely assured donors their "Lucky Dog" had a wonderful home. When we showed Boggs director Peanut Kilby the euthanasia files for all those dead "Lucky Dogs," she first pointed out the records indicated that Rabun County Animal Control did the euthanasia. What she clearly didn't want us to know is that she was the director of both. The Boggs Mountain board put Kilby on indefinite paid leave until they could do their own investigation. The GBI dispatched two agents to start a criminal case.While our story stunned this quiet retirement community, it also spread across the country. Donors wondered what really happened to the animal they brought to Boggs Mountain.Others created a Facebook page "Lost Dogs of Boggs" in hopes of confirming those "Lucky Dogs" really did find wonderful homes.Meanwhile, other rescue groups are reviewing their own dealings with Boggs Mountain. Animal rescuer Piper Hill told Rabun County commissioners about an attempt to send four dogs from Henry County Animal Control to Boggs Mountain. Someone had donated $500 to help with the adoption. But when the Henry County folks became suspicious of Peanut Kilby, they asked for the dogs -- and the money -- to be returned."I was in the office when they asked for the money back and Peanut was on the phone and she said that the money was gone already. And then the question was, 'What do you mean the money's gone? We just PayPaled it to you. Where did it go,'" said Hill. She says Peanut Kilby finally gave back some of the money."It was a personal check," said Hill. The FOX 5 I-Team has discovered evidence that suspended director Kilby struggled with money problems. According to court files, local merchants and the county tax office sued and filed criminal charges against her multiple times for writing bad checks -- debts totaling more than $11,000. Records show she ultimately made good on what she owed and the charges were dropped.Finally, there's this: the woman who was hired to run a shelter that boasted its no-kill policy once faced an animal cruelty charge herself. Twelve years ago, Kilby admitted shooting someone's hunting dog that had come onto her property. She was arrested, but a Rabun County grand jury decided not to prosecute.Now she faces a much larger criminal case in a community that thought it knew what was really going on inside the shelter's walls.
Animal lovers will be demonstrating against the Boggs Mountain Animal Shelter at noon on Saturday in front of the courthouse in Clayton in Rabun County.

Baby artichokes
I love artichokes. I love the way they taste, and I love the way they look, piled high in mounds of green, softball-size spheres in the grocery store.
When they're in season - a season that modern transportation has extended far beyond the traditional March through May and again in October - I can't resist buying 'em by the sack.
But then they usually languish until they turn black and have to be discarded, because once I've got them in the fridge, they seem too much trouble to deal with. All that peeling, all that cutting! Most of the thing goes to waste, and you've got to fight that awful fuzzy middle bit that's so appropriately named "choke."
Maybe I should simply resist my artichoke craving until I can get to an Italian or Greek restaurant and pay them to do it right. But still I persevere, throwing away a lot of perfectly good artichokes or giving it up and making them the easy, old-fashioned way, simmering them until soft, then chewing the meaty bites off the bottoms of the leaves with some kind of '60s-style chip dip.
This week, though, confronted with a particularly appealing display of tiny baby artichokes not much bigger than lemons, I had a breakthrough. Remembering to my joy that these undersize babies are relatively easy to prep because they don't have an inedible "choke" or nearly so many tough leaves, I came up with a memorable pasta dish that brings together artichokes and tiny new potatoes and more goodies from the garden.
And best of all, it didn't take all day to turn those thorny green balls into tender, savory bites.
I'm indebted to the California Artichoke Advisory Board for a useful set of instructions - with photos - that makes prepping artichokes relatively easy, and also for providing me the useful information that the artichoke is a kind of Mediterranean thistle, related to the sunflower, and that the part we eat is really the flower. Or that artichokes - not unlike shrimp - are graded by size, from petite (72 to a carton) to jumbo (18 to a carton). The things we learn on the Internet.
In Italy, artichokes are considered a great appetizer because they supposedly make whatever food they're served with seem sweet. For this reason, they're also allegedly difficult to match with wine. I can't say I've ever found this a problem, though, and certainly this dish went down easily with a crisp, dry Prosecco. It makes a fine meatless summer dinner, taking full advantage of the garden's bounty.
INGREDIENTS: (Serves two)
6 small artichokes
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon (5g) salt
6 small red or white new potatoes
1/2 cup (120g) chopped onion
1 or 2 large cloves garlic
3 fresh plum tomatoes
4 ounces (120g) farfalle (butterfly pasta)
2 tablespoons (30g) olive oil
Black pepper
1/4 cup Pecorino Romano cheese
12 leaves fresh basil
1. Prepare the artichokes. For a useful how-to guide, see the procedure and photos featured in steps 14 through 18 ("[Completely Edible] Baby Artichokes") on the California Artichoke Advisory Board's Website at http://artichokes.org/basic_prep.html. Snap off all the outer petals at the base until you get down to the tender yellowish leaves inside; then cut off and discard the tough green top and the stem. Cut the remaining heart vertically into quarters, scraping off any fuzzy "choke" in the center (in baby artichokes, there shouldn't be much, if any). Put the cut pieces into a saucepan half-filled with cool water "acidulated" with the juice of 1/2 lemon so they won't discolor.
2. Slice the potatoes fairly thin, about 1/4 inch or 0.6cm (there's no need to peel them) and place them in the same water with the artichokes.
3. Add 1 teaspoon salt to the water in the pan with the artichokes and potatoes. Bring the vegetables to a boil, then reduce heat and cook at a gentle simmer for 10 minutes or less, checking frequently; when the potatoes and artichoke hearts are just crisp-tender, drain and "shock" them with cold water so they won't cook further.
4. While the vegetables are simmering, chop the onion coarsely and mince the garlic fine. Peel and seed the plum tomatoes and cut them into chunks. Slice the basil leaves into a fine chiffonade and set aside.
5. Start the pasta cooking in boiling salted water. While it boils, sautee the chopped onions and garlic in the olive oil until they're translucent. Add the cooked artichokes and potatoes and stir gently, to avoid breaking up the vegetables, until they just start to brown. Put in the tomatoes and, if necessary, just enough water to keep things from sticking. Season with salt and pepper to taste and keep warm over low heat. When the pasta is finished, drain it and mix it in with the vegetables. Serve in warm bowls, topped with grated Pecorino Romano and the basil chiffonade.
MATCHING WINE:
I don't see the artichokes marrying well with a red, but this should work well with a fuller-bodied white from Southern Italy or the Rhone; it was brilliant with a Northern Italian bubbly, the Bortolotti Valdobbiadene Prosecco featured in the July 17 30 Second Wine Advisor.

3D Realms Sees Major Employee Departures, Fate of DNF in Question?The many delays and long development history of 3D Realms' anticipated Duke Nukem Forever, first announced in April 1997, are well known to gamers, but it appears that at present the game may be undergoing even more troubles. Shacknews has learned from numerous reputable sources close to the game's development that, since approximately the end of 2005, 3D Realms has had something of an employee exodus. Apparently, up to ten major team members have left the company, with multiple departures having occurred as recently as within the past few days.
Developers confirmed to have left 3D Realms since last December include Scott Alden, Will Bate, Brian Cozzens, Kyle Davis, Andy Hanson, Keith Schuler, and Charlie Wiederhold. Some of the former employees headed up crucial game systems such as physics, animation, and rendering. Notably, Schuler is a sixteen year veteran of Apogee and 3D Realms. Our sources indicate that while the game's team has reached a size of about 24-28 developers, recently it has been closer to 18, meaning these current departures may actually comprise a majority of the team. Several sources have indicated that further information regarding these matters is expected next week.
3D Realms' George Broussard, who heads up the Duke Nukem Forever project, is known to hold a perfectionist attitude towards the game, which is in large part responsible for its many delays. The game has been revamped with new engines multiple times, further prolonging development time as game assets and levels have had to be rebuilt. Some sources speculate that, unless major changes are made to the development process, the game may never see the light of day. A Prey-like rebirth under a new developer supervised by 3D Realms may be a potential consideration, but descriptions from those close to Broussard suggest that he would be unlikely to approve such a direction.
3D Realms officials have been contacted for formal comment by Shacknews, but did not respond by press time.
Update: Shacknews has learned that four of the employees named above--Brian Cozzens, Kyle Davis, Keith Schuler, and Charlie Wiederhold--are now working for Brothers in Arms series developer Gearbox Software. Wiederhold's employment at Gearbox was already public knowledge. These four employees were key members of the Duke Nukem Forever team and led various aspects of development.

"Cincinnati Antiques Roadshow: Behind the Scenes" premieres June 3
"Cincinnati Antiques Roadshow: Behind the Scenes" premieres June 3
When you watch Antiques Roadshow from the comfort of your own home, you see a smooth-running operation and the widest range of antiques on television. But what really happens when 6,000 people descend on a city's taping with everything from a decorative Swedish commode to a glamorous Mae West headdress? And how do you plan and organize for that many people to show up with their items all in one day?
Now you can get a glimpse behind the Roadshow curtain with Cincinnati Antiques Roadshow: Behind the Scenes. This locally-produced show will air at 8pm Monday, June 3, on ThinkTV16 and CET.
The 2012 taping was the second time Antiques Roadshow visited Cincinnati – and the Queen City broke records for the number of ticket requests at more than 37,000. Although many of those who attended were there to see what their items were worth, some attended just for the true Antiques Roadshow experience: going through the lines, seeing what everyone else brought, meeting other enthusiasts and getting to talk with famous appraisers. Of course the lucky few leave knowing their item is a true valuable treasure.
Cincinnati Antiques Roadshow: Behind the Scenes shows how, despite all the excitement, the Roadshow staff and volunteers keep the antiques machine running smoothly.
"While the interviews are insightful, the strength of this special is revealed in the exciting, chaotic and deadline driven world that you'll only see behind the scenes of Antiques Roadshow," said Richard Wonderling, Cincinnati Antiques Roadshow: Behind the Scenes writer/producer.

Scenes of »La vie de Bohème« (Henri Murger) by Giacomo Puccini in four images. Performed in Italian with German surtitles.
Christmas Eve, in an icy-cold garret looking onto the roofs of the Latin Quarter in Paris, around the turn of the century. Just as Marcel, fingers numb with cold, attempts to finish his painting which seems to remain eternally unfinished, Rodolfo compels himself to write. Both fail. To save the last chair from being broken up and burnt, Rodolfo sacrifices the manuscript of his play, act for act, to the flames. Colline, returning unsuccessful from the closed pawnbroker's shop, is just able to catch a glimpse of the last warming glow of the stove. Schaunard then appears with his treasures which he was able to get by trickery from a snobbish Englishman due to the murder – announced with much theatricality – of the latter's parrot. The «sumptuous feast", full of merriment and high spirits, is interrupted by Benoit, the landlord, who wishes to collect the overdue rent but he can be cunningly sent away owing to his own double standard of morals. They decide to spend the rest of Christmas Eve at Café Momus. It is only Rodolfo who stays behind for the time being in order to write a newspaper article. Then Mimi appears, a neighbour of the Bohemians, and asks for a light for her candle which has gone out. The little seamstress and the poet fall in love in the moonlight of the December evening.
In the bustling, gay throng of the Christmas market in front of Café Momus, Rodolfo introduces Mimi to his circle of Bohemian friends. Marcel's bitter reasoning about love reaches its climax when the cause of his pain, the coquettishly provocative Musette, appears on the arm of the elderly councillor, Alcindoro. – She wins Marcel back by her own fascination. The cuckolded Alcindoro is left to pay the bill.
Ash Wednesday on the bleak outskirts of Paris. Mimi is desperately looking for Rodolfo and hopes that Marcel will give her information and also advice. However, he only advises her cynically to let the jealous poet go. Believing incorrectly that Mimi has already left, Rodolfo tells his friend that ha has parted with the girl because of her fatal illness. A fit of coughing betrays Mimi. Cornered by the situation, Rodolfo assures her that he will «delay" the parting. Marcel, who had just recommended that love should not be taken so tragically, now himself fails because of the incompatible emotions lingering between himself and Musette: a renewed quarrel, a renewed parting.
Back in the garret, Marcel and Rodolfo attempt to conceal their feelings with work but the slightest occasion leads their thoughts back to Musette and Mimi. Colline and Schaunard appear and wish to celebrate a «princely feast" but they can only afford ... a herring. Musette's precipitous entrance with the fatally ill Mimi destroys all pseudo feelings for celebration of the four Bohemians. Deeply affected, they are forced to watch as a human life expires before their very eyes. All attempts to alter fate and bride it with jewels, money or an old coat miscarry. Now the friends are presented with the price of a misspent life. One last time, Rodolfo and Mimi recall their first, tender and loving encounter and then the girl dies. Deeply moved, the Bohemians are left behind.

The Master link is a clip style however there are dimples on the ends of the pins, can we rivet these master links too?? Also I like to have spare master links but I can't find them on the site, can they be ordered?? its a "Primary Drive" 520 O ring master link whats the part number...anyone??
TECH NOTE: The master link for the chain is Part# 1021270020

A Friend's Sudden Passing
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by JJ | August 29 2012 | Permalink
Two years ago I changed my will (I am 62) to reflect what is to happen to my dogs when I pass away. If they are not taken care of, then no money will be distributed. Plain and simple!
Submitted by Anonymous | August 29 2012 | Permalink
Unfortunately family are the cruelest when it comes to these matters. I have made it clear to my family that what ever happens to me my animals be taken care of. Thankfully they are animal lovers as well and are able to do that!
Submitted by Renee | August 29 2012 | Permalink
My mom always stressed having a will no matter what age. It protects the family and any assets especially children/dogs. My husband's and my will state the guardian of our 2 kids AND any pets-they all go together!! Unfortunately too many believe creating a will forebodes something bad while I believe it does the complete opposite; it ensures that you leave those who loved you with the knowledge of what you wanted which can only bring peace.
Submitted by Basil Brown | August 30 2012 | Permalink
Whatever form this takes, it is good to have a copy with your will, and also leave a copy with your vet to keep with your pet's records. This is a good, although difficult, step to take -- and does bring peace of mind to know your wishes for your pets will be carried out. Great article! Thanks!

Carol was a friend of mine too from the informal but strong Husky circles in Berkeley. I will miss her. Her death is the second one in recent years of seemingly healthy people dying unexpectedly.
While I concur with the thoughts about wills and trusts to take care of all our loved ones (my wife is an attorney specializing in estate planning and probates), I think that this sad occasion should prompt us to consider where we get our pets from in the first place.
Some shelters and rescue organizations guarantee that they will take back any pet they originally adopted out and find them new homes. We have been a foster home for adult cats returned to our local no kill shelter. Some these adult cats had owners who died or became disabled. They found good new homes.
Many good breeders will do the same or keep them.
By the way, Carol's elderly Husky Micah is doing well in his new home. I see him regularly.

I not only designated to whom my dog should go (of course, with that person's prior permission) but I also designated money from my will to go to that person to assist in my dog's care. I have no worries that my dog would not be taken care of as the person named is involved in animal rescue and knows and loves my dog; pick the right person, provide financially so that they can give your dog the right care, and then be confident that it will be alright should something happen to you.
Submitted by Barbara | August 30 2012 | Permalink
a side note; each and every time I go out of town (vacation) I sent notification to my vet that gives the name of the person caring for my pet, plus the authorization to make decisions for the pet's care in my absence, along with letting them know that I trust that friend's judgment and that I will be responsible for all vet bills incurred. It's important that your vet know who is authorized to care for your pet; of course, leave the pet-sitter with the name and directions to your vet's office as well.

The Westone has a powerful, detailed and clear sound that does not under or overemphasize anything.

Westone 4 True-Fit Earphones
"I bought these as an upgrade from the W3, which while extremely fun, I soon became disappointed in, due to mid bass bleed into the midrange. This caused vocals to become too chesty and distortion rock guitar notes too rounded instead of hard edged. Enter the W4. Fit and Isolation: Westone 4 is extremely comfortable. I love their size and weight. They only..." --shotgunshane

Westone UM2 stage monitors
" Disclaimer I bought these about 3 years ago, used them a lot and got to "know" them well. The (sort of a) good thing is: They still perform as good as they did when I first tried them on.

BUST Magazine
Date: Monday, October 31, 2011 - 8:00 am
Duration: 1 Hour
Chromeo will be performing in Philadelphia, PA at the Electric Factory with Breakbot on October 31st!
Chromeo, the electrofunk duo credited for some of the decade's most addicting pop songs and memorable live performances, is announcing a string of 34 new Fall tour dates, aptly titled the 'Night Falls' tour, in addition to their many upcoming festival appearances throughout the globe this year. This seven week journey across North America will be the biggest, most extensive tour in the band's history. Joining the twosome on the road is soulful crooner Mayer Hawthorne, the Stones Throw alum now signed to Universal, and, on selected dates, Ed Banger's very own funkateer Breakbot. Audiences should expect a spectacle as Chromeo's performances are known for their trademark hot-legged keyboard stands, elaborate light show and sultry Robert Palmer-esque back-up singers. More recently fans have been treated to guest appearances by the likes of A-Trak and Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend to go along with the band's seriously fancy footwork. Ticket sales begin July 6th for pre-sale and open July 8th for the general public. As all of Chromeo's past tours have, this one is likely to sell out quickly. Chromeo members Dave 1 and P-Thugg hit new heights with the release of the critically acclaimed Business Causal this past year, appearing on Late Night with David Letterman and Conan O'Brien. Their next official single, "When The Nights Falls" featuring Solange Knowles, is being released as a remix EP on July 26th through Big Beat/Atlantic Records. The single package features remixes by Hercules & Love Affair, Lifelike, Breakbot and a cover version by Mayer Hawthorne. Check out the Breakbot remix below for a preview of what to expect and scroll down for the full list of tour dates.

Meeting destination Germany holds an excellent position in the international market: in the country rankings of the International Congress & Convention Association (ICCA), the country is number two worldwide, behind the United States.

Germany Continues to Lead in Green Meetings Worldwide
Germany is leading the way to make green meetings a reality. In recent months, Germany and its leading in-country MICE partners have introduced revolutionary concepts in green meetings, including a global sustainability codex, green meeting planner certification programs, ready-made and tailored green meeting packages and more.
This year's Meeting & Event Barometer, the only survey that covers the entire event market in Germany, reinforces the importance of green meetings as "table stakes" in the meeting planning process.
The German Convention Bureau shares this commitment to sustainability and has initiated various projects to help the German meetings industry become more sustainable and green. One of these projects is the green meetings and events conference, which will be held for the third time in 2015 at the sustainable congress center Kap Europa in Frankfurt. The key outcome from the inaugural conference was a joint industry-specific sustainability codex. This codex for the German-speaking event sector is designed to make globalization more socially and ecologically sustainable. Supporting member organizations agree to maintain minimum standards, self-regulate and exchange ideas.
The GCB has also launched a green meetings seminar program that will ultimately train and certify up to 500 green meeting consultants working in the German MICE industry.
For more information on green meetings and the sustainability progress Germany is making, please visit the GCB website, where you will find a brochure, videos, and background material.
GCB Uses Key Industries to Market Germany as an Events Destination
For an increasing number of event planners it is important to find companies, associations or scientific institutions at the location that fit the theme of their event and offer interesting possibilities for creating social programs and similar options.
The German Convention Bureau (GCB) uses fields of expertise such as logistics and mobility, among others, to market Germany worldwide as a destination for meetings and conventions.
According to the 2012 Meeting & EventBarometer 82 per cent of the event planners believe that "networking of organizers with local industry-specific expertise at the destination is becoming increasingly important".
Due to this fact the GCB launched a "key industries" strategy in 2011. In this context the specialization of German cities and regions in certain segments is used to gain meetings and conventions for Germany on suitable themes.
Aligning German destinations with expertise areas provides them with an edge on international competition for events by providing clients with the added value of knowledge sharing.
The GCB focuses specifically on six major fields of expertise of German industry and science:
The GCB offers in-depth information on the cities who have established a position in these fields on its website:

"Numbers and expiration dates." That is disgusting. Communicating just this bit of information to people about shelter dogs could be enough to change hearts and minds.
Submitted by Lyn deMarrin | September 16 2012 | Permalink
As a long time weekly volunteer at an animal shelter I support Kavin's recommentations. However, I must strongly assert that getting an animal adopted must not be an end that justifies any means. Prospective adopters must be interviewed (and perhaps other strategies employed as well) to determins, as much as humanly possible, if they will be good owners. After years of witnessing the results of heinous behavior of bad owners, I have come to believe that there are much worse things for animal than euthanasia. Let's follow Kavin's recommendations while remembering that adoptions should not be about adoption numbers or about reduction of kill numbers, but about successful pairing with a loving home.
Submitted by Kim Kavin | September 21 2012 | Permalink
Hi Lyn,
I couldn't agree more. That's why "Little Boy Blue" talks about the five-page adoption application and home visit that Lulu's Rescue required before I was allowed to adopt Blue.
Hopefully you will read the book and see how it supports the very thing you are suggesting.
Submitted by Mary DiBlasi | September 17 2012 | Permalink
I read and enjoyed the book for the most part. But early in the book there was a comment about the price of rescue dogs and rescues making money. I volunteer with a rescue and have contacts with several others. Believe me, no one in a genuine rescue makes money. The adoption fees charged barely cover the cost of the care put into each dog and if it more than covers the care of one dog, it goes toward the care of another whose medical care or training expenses were exorbitant. Some of the puppies come in with parvovirus which is very expensive to treat, some of the older ones come in with heartworm, which is also very expensive to treat. Even just the basic round of shots and testing for parasites, etc. is expensive "up north" and microchipping is routine and not inexpensive. Now that you are more familiar with rescue I hope you see that the fees are not out of line, but I wish you had not exclaimed over paying $450 for a "shelter dog" who has since brought you so much joy and affection. Would a $1,000 purebred have brought you more?
Submitted by Kim Kavin | September 21 2012 | Permalink
Hi Mary,
I'm glad you enjoyed "Little Boy Blue." I'm guessing you skipped the chapter later in the book where I do indeed delve into the costs that rescues pay, and make clear to the reader that most rescues actually lose money on most dogs.
Most people who adopt do in fact question why a "free dog from a shelter" costs $400 or so when it gets to a rescue. "Little Boy Blue" makes very clear that I was just like these people, and then I educated myself to find out it's because reputable rescues are providing medical care and more.
Submitted by Mary Shepherd-Ennis | January 17 2013 | Permalink
Little Boy Blue is wonderful. It is well written and moves along so well. Hated reading about the gas chambers but since I have done cat rescue for over 40 years along with some dogs and varied wildlife, I read that early.
I ask this of you. Please research Dr. Melanie Joy. Please read her book Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows. Your rather casual comments about not being vegan loving and eating summer bbq's tells me that you are missing some very important emotional intelligence and emotional understanding of animals. In SKorea at a notorious market you can pick your live kitten, cat or dog and have it prepared any way you like...while it lives through being boiled fried or roasted....your choice. Pigs are known to be the 5th smartest animal, way above dogs. So how would you feel about someone taking Blue to cook alive? Those SK dogs are the same as Blue and when the cats and dogs are rescued they make the same wonderful pets as Blue.
It is actually more cruel to kill animals loving life, cared for and eating well than those who would love to die to end their suffering. Please read the above.

KHQ.COM - Spokane County deputies say they received a call Wednesday morning of a suicidal male. When deputies contacted the man identified as 29-year-old Brian Olson, Deputies discovered Olson was also the sole suspect in an arson case after a home burned in North Spokane near the intersection of Barnes and Whitehouse.
After deputies contacted Olson they say he led them on a high speed chase at speeds in upwards of 70 miles per hour. Deputies say they chased Olson for several blocks, and witnessed him driving in the wrong direction on Argonne.
Deputies say one of Olson's tires blew and he drove for several blocks on the rim of his wheel throwing sparks and eventually causing a fire and disabling his car. Deputies also performed several pit maneuvers to stop the car they say Olson was driving. Deputies took Olson in to custody. Olson faces several charges.

You and your tarte aux citrons! Moi, I could take 'em or leave 'em... but I must admit that specimen from Pouchkine looks divine!

What a lemon fresh post after such a long day of travel...I love the Doxie in the cafe wearing the chic collar & leash.ReplyDelete
When I saw you last image I had to smile. On my first trip to Paris years ago I returned with a SEM (George Goursat) water color with horse carriages filled with Parisian society. In those days you could find them for a song! So I just loved your last image of SEM's dancing couples. Merci!
Bienvenue à Paris! I see you have your priorities straight-- Tarte au citron, miam-miam! Looks like the weather has turned to fall by now. La dame in the subway is all decked out in black and wears boots already! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
Dear Carol,ReplyDelete
I heard from a customer last night who is leaving for Paris today and is heading post haste to Gerard Mulot for Cherry Clafoutis. Is she deranged not to order the Citron tart? Should I cable her??
What a perfect first day in Paris! Thank you for taking us along! Can't wait to hear more.ReplyDelete
- Geri, NJ3:03 PM
Very strange...I've been craving lemony things since yesterday...today, had a leftover lemon from zesting for Madelines last week, so, sliced it up for my lemonade...then, browsed my Patricia Wells cookbook for the Lemon Lovers Tart in lemon pastry shell, which I decide I shall make this week for sure. Then I see your post ~ Coincidence? I think not...the Universe is trying to tell me something. Your pic of the slice of creme citron dedans actually made me gasp and sigh!ReplyDelete
Paris is like working in a candy storeReplyDelete
You're surrounded by goodies.
You build up an immunity.
Well not all the time it's true...
Like just now I had to taste (Ha!) the Sadaharu black sesame eclair in the fridge.
it's gone now.
where was my restraunt?!
- Anonymous6:10 PM
You never fail to come up with interesting things. Since you are so widely read I think I should point out what I think are a couple of tiny errors:ReplyDelete
1 pas du tout = not at all
2 comme d'habitude = as usual
3 les Parisiennes, if you are talking exclusively about females from Paris
EVERY day should be jour de tart au citron!ReplyDelete
Looks like you made it to Paris just fine. First thing you are doing is eating those goodies. Yumm. Was this the jet lags fault? :))ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking us back to one of our favorite Cafes in Paris. We would like 2 of each please.. and by the way there are no calories in Paris. Have a wonderful sweet time:)ReplyDelete
Judit & Corina
Exactement MOUSE!ReplyDelete
And of course they ALWAYS sign themselves ANONYMOUS!!
Cowards! :(
Like I don't have enough to correct- photos, lineup, color, text, ideas,
bla bla bla
MERCI for the support!
OUI cg
I too think the serendipitous thing is madly at work, Carol.ReplyDelete
At the end of a beautiful art-filled day in your hometown yesterday (NY), son Mason and I partook of a big slice of good old American Lemon Meringue pie, with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, as we waited for the Bolt bus to take us back to Philly. From your sublime, to our...not quit as sublime...but oh so yummy.
All the tarts I wished I ate in Paris, I can look at them here! Drooling ...ReplyDelete
Scoops of vanilla do NOT go with lemon meringueReplyDelete
HMPH where did you have it anyway?
At a Greek diner?
One of those 10" high monsters?
Very serendipitous anyway
wow is all I can say, those citron tarts look amazing and that Cafe Pouchkine trifle-like pastry looks out of this world! I am thorougly enjoying your post today. I am going to take another look again..ReplyDelete

So I don't usually put my tease photo in my blog but I just had to this time. There is the story out there that Dwight Howard of the Houston Rockets, let a fan get under his skin and tossed the ball his way. Was it just Howard tossing the ball to the endline? Was it Howard thinking he saw the Ref and was like here ya go? Or, was he throwing the ball at the fan? The video is protected, so I can't be like, just take a look at the bottom of this blog. However I couldn't find it on Youtube and the only thing I found was some weird guy giving his opinion. I will just have to tell you how a feel and you can maybe follow this link, of course after you read the rest of my post....PLEASE? So here is my letter to Dwight Howard.
Dear Dwight,
You are so tall. Your hands so big. Your legs so strong that you can jump out of the building. You have girth, which is not common in this generations NBA. And yet you couldn't beat my 7 year old in a free throw contest. You couldn't beat my 10 year old in a free throw contest. And you sure as hell couldn't beat ME in a game of horse if I was blindfolded and I am in a wheelchair.
