Sigh. I guess I guess I'll just defer to Babcock to decide which of the seemingly dozen fringe NHL defensemen we have on our squad will be the least cancerous to us and go with that guy. I suppose it could be Lashoff. White's right handed shot and experience SHOULD make him the favorite, but he also seems the most gaffe-prone out of the options.
Really bummed about about DeKe going down, though if you watched him in Gms 1 and 2, he was getting thrown around like a ragdoll out there. He has great wheels and poise for a guy his age, but he's definitely more Bouwmeester than Chara out there.
He needs to put on some mass. This was evident to start.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - More than 20 union members working in shifts and toting picket signs have assembled peacefully all week near the three public entrances to the Raley's supermarket in Incline Village, days after thousands of employees went on strike at more than 100 stores due to a long-standing labor dispute with the Sacramento-based private grocery chain.
The strike, the first against Raley's in its 77-year-history, came after all-day talks Saturday failed to secure a new contract for the employees, according to the Associated Press. A midnight deadline was extended at the request of a federal mediator, but talks broke down around 2 a.m. Sunday, said Mike Henneberry, a spokesman for the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
About four hours later, union workers with picket signs were at the Incline Village Raley's, along with many other grocery stores throughout Northern California, expressing their displeasure with supermarket chain and encouraging residents to shop elsewhere at "fair-minded Union employers" and suggesting they go at Safeway in Kings Beach and Tahoe City, Save-Mart in Tahoe City and the privately owned Village Market in Incline.
Both sides are reportedly at odds over a proposed wage freeze, elimination of premium pay for Sunday shifts and health care benefits. Raley's says it needs to cut costs in the face of a weak economy and competition from nonunionized companies that also sell groceries, such as Walmart, while union officials say the chain has not agreed to a full audit of its finances, and has been bargaining in bad faith since contract negotiations began.
The sides have been in negotiation for more than 15 months. Due to failed negotiations, Raley's had to implement its corporate plan that freezes pay increases for two years and eliminates Sunday and holiday premium pay, Raley's spokesman John Segale said.
"Something like this is a concern for the holidays and beyond. Ultimately it's going to hurt everybody - the store, the employees and the customers," Segale said.
UFCW attorneys filed unfair labor practices charges due to alleged violation of laws prohibiting harassment, circumventing the union's authority as a bargaining agent and submitting proposals that are worse than previous offers.
"A tragic mistake would be for Raley's management to interpret the union's fairness for weakness," said Jacques Loveall, president of UFCW 8-Golden State, one of the two striking factions (the other is Local No. 5). "Before we move to phase two, we are hopeful this measured action will be effective in bringing Raley's back to the bargaining table. We have additional personnel and resources to escalate the action, if need be. Naturally we prefer to engage in constructive dialogue rather than deepening the wounds."
As of Wednesday, Segale said no meetings are planned for the sides to continue negotiations.
West Sacramento-based Raley's employs 13,000 people at 115 stores in California and 13 in Nevada operating under the Raley's name, as well as Bel Air Markets, Nob Hill Foods, Food Source and Aisle 1 Fuel Stations, according to its website. UFCW says it represents 7,400 of the chain's employees.
Not all locations are a part of a union, Segale said, and different departments of the store are a part of varying unions.
"Workers are members of seven different unions," Segale said. "Some members may have decided to honor the picket line and not cross, but that's more of a support for a union, not necessarily their union that is striking. It varies from store to store."
Segale said the Incline Village store is the lone Nevada store impacted by the strike, as it's the only one that employs members of 8-Golden State.
As of Wednesday, 33 union employees were still on strike at the 72-employee Incline Village store, Segale said, which has been and will continue to be open.
"The rest of the union and non-union people are back to work," he said.
This week, more union employees are crossing the picket line throughout the region, Segale said, with more than 50 percent back in the stores working as of Wednesday, and replacement workers have been hired in some locations.
Wages for those replacement workers, will be "competitive based on experience," he said. On average, Raley's pays between $9.10 to $9.60 per hour in union wages for baggers, and between $9.25 and $21.13 per hour for clerks and senior clerks.
As of Wednesday, the Incline Village store - which has signs posted on its front windows informing people the store is "OPEN to serve you" and advertising immediate job openings for replacement workers - had yet to hire replacements, Segale said.
While the Incline store struggled initially during the strike, sales and customer flow were picking up as of Wednesday, Segale said, likely aided by special deals involving free items of food for certain dollar-amount purchases
"We're rolling out various incentives in an effort to reward our customers who continue to support us, and to bring others back who might have been swayed to go elsewhere," Segale said.
On Lake Tahoe's South Shore, picketers were out this week at both Raley's locations. Strike Leader Luke Adams, who stood outside the Raley's near Stateline on Monday, said he's worked for the company for the last 12 years on the South Shore and had no qualms when it came to joining the picket line.
"The benefits we have are going into corporate hands, and we've got to keep them," Adams said. "I'll be out here as long as it takes. There's no fear involved."
Adams, who earned $21 per hour as the store's head meat cutter, said he's willing to take a severe pay cut - the union will pay him $100 for the first week of the strike - to fight for what many of the strikers said on was their main concern: health care benefits for retirees.
Debra Hoyopatubbi walked past the strikers on Monday as she entered the Raley's at the South Shore "Y" to get her groceries. Hoyopatubbi said she's been treated very fairly during the 12 years she's worked for the grocery store near Stateline, and she will continue to work and shop at Raley's.
"Greed in our country is huge. We need to count our blessings," Hoyopatubbi said. "I really believe the contract (Raley's CEO) Michael Teel is offering is a very fair one. Each side should give a little in these hard economic times."

Passengers onboard during Friday's tourist train wreck said they felt a moment of terror when they realized a logging truck was about to strike the Cheat Mountain Salamander.
"We could see it coming, and I looked at the people around me in the car and said, 'he's going to hit us,'" passenger Greg Barringer, of Culloden, said while waiting to be transported from the accident site Friday afternoon.
"We hoped if it would hit, that it would be the caboose, because it had no passengers in it," Barringer said. "We saw and felt the truck hit the cars behind us and then we saw them tip over."
Article Photos
The truck, owned by H & H Fisher's Logging Company of Bartow, collided with the Salamander at a railroad crossing, hitting the train between two passenger cars.
Two of the train's four cars, both of which contained passengers, tipped over after the impact.
One middle-aged couple, who asked to remain anonymous, said the scenic train ride was part of their holiday.
"We were celebrating our anniversary, and this was a surprise gift to my wife," the husband said. "We were even running late. We had to hurry to make sure that we got our ticket. We never expected anything like this."
He said that after the wreck he helped get passengers to safety.
There were many reports of people stepping up and helping the injured. One man onboard said a Durbin & Greenbrier Railroad employee was injured in the accident but still helped assist passengers from the train.
Lines of emergency vehicles were parked along the road leading to the wreck site as police, firefighters and EMS workers made their way to the tracks to offer their help.
Dozens of passengers sat on the guard rail as the injured were wheeled by on stretchers heading toward ambulances. The cries of ambulance and firetruck sirens pierced the air as emergency workers used a second log truck to prop up one of the tipped train cars.
"This is the first train/vehicle crisis of this magnitude in Randolph County," Randolph County Sheriff Mark Brady said at the accident scene Friday. "All agencies have cooperated together to respond as quickly as possible to the incident."
Buster Varner of the Bartow-Frank-Durbin Fire Department said his company was at Green Bank Elementary School demonstrating their equipment when the call came in about the crash. He said his fire department was the first to arrive on scene.
Varner said he called for assistance from all Randolph and Pocahontas county fire departments, including Green Bank, Hillsboro, Marlinton, Snowshoe and Cass. Webster Springs also assisted at the scene. Varner added that in all his years of service, Friday's was the worst accident he has ever witnessed.
Varner said the extraction of the log-truck driver, who was killed in the wreck, was complicated, taking nearly two and a half hours.
He said the log truck left no skid marks on the road leading to the wreck. Varner added that Joe Chabut of Elkins Truck Service said there would not be skid marks because the truck was loaded with logs.
An Elkins Truck Service vehicle had transferred the logs from the wrecked log truck by around 5:50 p.m.
Tom Ditty, an environmental enforcement officer with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, was on the scene.
"I am here to help make sure everything gets cleaned up properly," Ditty said.
Bartow-Frank-Durbin paramedic Leisha Cassell said the rescue effort was the largest she has witnessed during her 20 years as a paramedic.
"There were so many departments there helping, from as far away as Snowshoe, Webster Springs and Belington," Cassell said. "The train completely blocked the road and crews were working on each side of the accident. It was wonderful to see so many people helping - each group trained separately, yet everyone worked as a team."
Cassell said things ran smoothly.
"Everything was handled the way it should be and no fire or EMS personnel were injured," Cassell said. "It was great to see everyone work so well together."
Cassell said the railroad crossing had not been used for years, until recently when the Durbin & Greenbrier Railroad debuted the tourist trains. The crossing does not have a gate, only flashing signs to indicate any coming traffic on the tracks.
"I don't feel the railroad crossing is well-marked," Cassell said. "It had not been used for a long time, and now it only has a few lights. I think the crossing will need to be reevaluated, especially in light of this accident."
Agencies responding at the scene included Elkins Hazmat Special Response, Marlinton Rescue, Cass Rescue, Randolph County EMS, Shaver's Fork Fire Rescue, Beverly Fire Department, the West Virginia State Police, Pocahontas Memorial Hospital, Davis Memorial Hospital, Tygarts Valley Fire Company, Valley Head Fire Department, Webster County Emergency Service, Webster Springs Volunteer Fire Department and the U.S. Army.
One Bartow-Frank-Durbin fire fighter said the cooperation on the scene was wonderful.
"We had so many fire departments, rescue personnel and ambulance crews helping today," he said. "It was great that everyone worked so well together as a team to get the job done."

EBENSBURG - For all the success enjoyed by the Bishop Guilfoyle girls' basketball team under Mark Moschella, there was actually a more significant number in the veteran coach's mind than seven.
Four hundred ninety-nine.
Significant not because it is greater than seven, which represents the total of consecutive District 6 Class A championships the Marauders might have under their belts by the end of this weekend, but because of what Bill Adams has meant to Moschella as a friend and assistant coach since the two got together to guide Bishop Guilfoyle's fortunes in 1991.

BG's Lexi Luciano shoots during the Lady Marauders' semifinal victory over Penns Manor.
Bishop Guilfoyle's 53-17 victory over Penns Manor in a district semifinal playoff game at Central Cambria High School on Monday night marked the 499th for the Marauders since Moschella asssumed the head coaching duties.
And yet while he and the rest of the Guilfoyle squad look forward to Friday night's championship game against Portage, Moschella's enthusiasm was tempered by knowing that Adams had suffered a stroke last March and has been unable to assist him throughout the season while in recovery.
"This game marks No. 499," Moschella explained. "And we've always talked about [how] it is such a great number because then it's not about the coaches. It's about the team. This win tonight was for Coach Adams."
Bishop Guilfoyle never trailed against Penns Manor. Mary Roach's hoop off a feed by Emma Myers pulled the Comets within 4-2 just over 2 minutes into the game. It was as close as Penns Manor would get.
"We wanted to take away their size and try to keep as much pressure as we can on the backcourt," Moschella said. "We knew that they have some really good basketball players that can finish in the paint. And we were hoping that our guards could pressure their guards and create some problems for their big kids."
The Marauders captured a 12-6 lead after one quarter and expanded the lead to 27-9 by the intermission. Guilfoyle forced 13 turnovers in the first half while committing only two. The Marauders finished the night with 10 turnovers.
"When you're playing the type of defense that we wanted to play tonight, we're going to make mistakes. We knew that," Moschella said. "I thought that we had a lot of nice opportunites in the first part of the game. And most importantly, I wanted to play our style of basketball tonight. And I thought that our defense really set that up."
Penns Manor coach Jason Miloser could only watch as his team committed many of its turnovers againist marginal pressure.
"We talked coming into the game that how we were going to have to take very good care of the basketball," Miloser said. "That's something that we've been working on all year and we've gotten better at it. But when you're playing a team the caliber of Guilfoyle, you really have to focus on it even more."
The Marauders' Halee Adams led all scorers with 15 points. Kayla Bates added 12 and Devin Stessney contributed 10 points for Guilfoyle, which shoots for a seventh successive Class A district title - not to mention Moschella's 500th win as a head coach - on Friday at St. Francis University.
"When I go in and address the team as to what this victory means," Moschella said, "what it actually means is not so much about the wins; it's about being the best you can be. And that's why '499' is so special."
Portage earned a spot in the championship game by defeating Juniata Valley, 54-41. The Comets and Green Hornets will vie for a state playoff berth when they meet for third place on Thursday. Miloser gave his team something to think about when he finished his post-game address.
"They can decide what they're made of," Miloser said. "It's not [for] a district championship, but, again, let's see what you're made of. Let's see you come back and compete at practice tomorrow. Let's see you work to get ready to work for whoever we have on Thursday."
Sarah DaBella led the Comets with six points.
PENNS MANOR (17): Tomayko 0 1-5 1, Gillo 2 0-0 4, Roach 2 0-0 4, DaBella 1 4-5 6, Myers 1 0-0 2, Drahnal 0 0-2 0. Totals - 6 5-12 17.

NORTH TONAWANDA – The Common Council Tuesday unanimously approved a deal to hold onto 8.3 acres of industrial parkland for the next year and a half to give Armstrong Pumps time to develop its expansion plan.
"We want to see that business park full of new businesses and jobs in the short term," Council President Richard Andres said after the council meeting. "The city is basically agreeing take prime real estate off the table."
Armstrong, a Canadian company that makes pumps that distribute water in high-rise buildings, has 148 local employees. It has outgrown its East Avenue location in a former Roblin Steel building, adjacent to the industrial park acres it intends to buy for $5,000 an acre, or $41,550.
The council, which discussed the purchase with Armstrong logistics manager Jerry Najuch in October, will delay the formal property transfer, pending the development of building plans.
The city does not want to sell the land and risk that it stays undeveloped for a prolonged period, Andres said. The sale will go through once Armstrong has presented plans and taken out building permits, he said.

EDITORIAL DISCLAIMER: The editors of SpryLiving.com are sharing Dr. Carl Helvie's story for informational purposes�only and are not suggesting his method of treatment be a �substitute for medical advice or treatment for others who have been diagnosed with lung cancer. If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, you should seek professional medical care and consult your physician before starting any sort of treatment regimen. This July, Dr. Carl Helvie, RN, DrPH., celebrated his 80th birthday. The occasion would be a landmark birthday for any individual, but for Dr. Helvie, who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer forty years ago and given only 6 months to live, it was particularly poignant. Astoundingly, he eradicated the disease naturally�without surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or other mainstream interventions�and is alive today to share his remarkable story of faith and courage. When Dr. Helvie, a longtime smoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1974, it was practically a death sentence. After weighing his treatment options, the health professional made a radical, seemingly inane decision: To eschew orthodox medical practices in favor of a holistic, all-natural approach to treatment. RELATED: The 7 Biggest Threats to Your Lung Health A nurse, Dr. Helvie had seen countless patients endure the rigors of cancer treatment. �I saw them go through surgery and radiation and chemotherapy, only to extend their lives for a few weeks or months,� Dr. Helvie explains. �And the misery that they went through in the process�the nausea, the vomiting, the hair loss.� Hoping to avoid the pain and debilitation associated with traditional cancer treatments�and figuring his prognosis was so bleak that he had nothing to lose�Dr. Helvie decided to tackle the disease with natural therapies. �I thought, �Why be debilitated for that 6 months if I can at least be pain-free and comfortable and then die?�� Dr. Helvie recalls. For the next few months, Dr. Helvie followed a strict diet regimen consisting of mainly raw fruits, vegetables and nuts. Additionally, he took 1000 mg daily of Vitamin B-17, popularly known as amygdaline or� �laetrile,� and a variety of other vitamins and supplements.

Bishop England and Palmetto Christian both picked up wins Saturday in day two of the 3rd annual Carolina Invitational girls holiday tournament in Charleston.
Both teams fell into consolation brackets after suffering opening-round losses on Friday. But with wins on Saturday, both have an opportunity to claim fifth place in their respective brackets.
In the Harbor Division, Palmetto Christian topped James Island Christian 54-30 at St. John's High School on John's Island. Bishop England rolled past West Mecklenburg (N.C) 56-30 at home in the Palmetto Division.
Palmetto Christian will face Cross at 9:30 a.m. Monday, while Bishop England takes on Greenbriar (Ga.) at 11 a.m.
Palmetto Christian 54, James Island Christian 30
Annie Pascutti scored 24 points to lead all scoreres while the Eagles defense dominated, holding James Island to eight points or fewer in each of the first three quarters.
Pascutti shot 11-of-15 from the field, pulled down eight rebounds and grabbed two steals. Corey Caulder added six points, nine rebounds and three steals, and Parker Emerson scored nine.
Palmetto Christian built a 14-point lead by halftime, and sealed the game in third, outscoring James Island 15-8.
Bishop England 56, West Mecklenburg 30
Mary Harriet Moore scored 18 points with 12 rebounds, and Michele Boykin added 19 points, seven rebounds, five assists as the Lady Bishops returned to their usual dominant form.

CHAMPION - While the Board of Education will wait until January to officially act on placing a school levy on the ballot in 2013, a plan to slash finances by $602,000 was mapped out this week.
Board President Maureen Seafert said a cost-containment plan was mapped out Wednesday to show where cuts will be made for the 2013-14 school year if a school levy is defeated next year.
On the Nov. 6 ballot, a 4.95-mill, 10-year additional operating levy, which would have raised $845,485 annually for the district, was defeated by the voters. If a levy is not passed next year, the district faces a $4 million projected deficit in four years, she said.
Superintendent Pamela Hood said the district also is facing an $850,000 loss in state funding. In recent years, the district has faced $1 million annually in cuts from the state, she said.
The district's levy steering committee has recommended to the board and the school administration that it be placed on the May primary ballot. Seafert said Treasurer Brian Gillespie will recommend to the board what millage for a levy is needed. Action by the board will then be taken, she said.
Seafert said there are concerns of major losses for the educational programs and services provided to the students.
''What we are doing is trying to protect the educational system and provide the best education to our students,'' she said. ''We want the public to understand the seriousness of this situation.''
Babette Sisler, levy chairwoman, and other residents attended the November board meeting stressing the need to get the levy back on the ballot next spring to maintain current student services.
Board members and residents indicated there will be fewer issues locally on the May primary ballot. The November ballot had the school levy, along with a Champion Township fire levy, state candidates and issues in addition to the national presidential campaign.
Seafert said if the levy passes in May, the district will not collect that money until 2014. She said the district is hoping that taxes collected from 2012 will come to the district in January will help offset some of the money that is needed.
''If the levy doesn't pass in May, we will have no choice but to make cuts,'' Seafert said.
The last time voters passed a new levy was in May 1994, when they approved a 15-mill emergency operating levy.

4 Perverted Behaviors You Won't Believe Animals Exhibit Too
#2. Sea Lions and the Deadly Stage Show
Handout/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Sea lions are pretty slutty fellas when it comes to their sexual proclivities; not that there's anything wrong with that most times. You just need to be safe and reasonable. Unfortunately for the sea lions, they're just not reasonable or safe in their sea boning activities.
In the world of sea lions, only one man can be king, and he rules over a harem. Imagine the bull sea lion as Matthew McConaughey and all the sea lion ladies as your single, kind of desperate aunt and her zinfandel-sipping divorcee friends. He's all cool on the beach, just basking in the sun and being charming, doing whatever he wants whenever he wants, and they are down with it, because while they like to imagine themselves as empowered Sex and the City characters, the fact is that show sucked terribly, no one in real life likes people like that, and they haven't had their goodies touched by anyone who respects them in a dog's age. And what of the other sea lion dudes? They watch.

"Mmm, yeah. You can smell the stank from here."
When it comes time to mate, McConaughey Sea Lion will take the ladies one at a time, because he's suave like that, sometimes for up to an hour each, while the other dudes stand a little ways down the beach and just watch and let their tears stain their sticky, lonely, fish-stanky flippers. And while it's all well and good that sea lions are happy to exist in a society of virginal voyeurs watching the local fat-neck stud plow all the ladyfolk like great fields of barking soybeans, it's no walk in the park for the bull, either.
Mike the Sea Lion was the stud at an animal park in Nuremberg, Germany, famous for its trials and sea lion sex retreats, when he managed to hump off this mortal coil with his sea lion harem back in 2009. Having already fathered 12 offspring, Mike was busy doing his conjugal duty to that booty when he collapsed and had to be taken back to shore by glove-wearing, slightly ashamed zoo workers. A vet checked him out, but sadly, Mike succumbed to heart failure, probably at least somewhat happy that he didn't go out choking on a mackerel like so many of his kinfolk.
While Mike is a famous example, it's not even uncommon for males to hump to the point of no return, as they will stop eating entirely during mating season just so they don't have to cut back on the action, and possibly also to further shame those lazy-ass pandas. The result is that, every so often, a bull who should have stopped to have an Ensure or at least some Ritz Bits goes for one final wild ride and then drops like an overacting senior citizen in a LifeCall commercial.
#1. Macaques Like Dirty Talk
Buddhika Weerasinghe/Getty Images News/Getty Images
We started this adventure with monkeys, and we're going to end it with monkeys, because damn it, this is an article about pervert animals, and no shitty camel is going to trump hump a monkey. Not on my watch.
In the world of macaques, vocalizations are an important part of sex. Female macaques have a hooting, yelling good time when they're going to town, and God bless 'em, everyone loves a hooter. But because science takes a day off every once in a while, researchers at a German primate center decided to look into the meaning behind all the ruckus. Were the ladies just having a good time? Shouting instructions? Working on the family budget? Better bust out the pocket protectors and microscopes, because this is some hardcore Bill Nye shit.
As it happens, just as with Uncle Gord, male macaques can't get off unless their partner is shrieking. When females are re-enacting an ICP performance, males will get to the finish line 59 percent of the time. Doesn't seem super admirable until you compare it with what happens when the ladies stay silent. When they make no sound, males finish the deed less than 2 percent of the time.
Warren Little/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
Once you go macaque, you'll be lovin' on that sack!
Aside from closing the deal, researchers also noted that when the females scream, thrusting increases, which is the best sentence about monkeys you'll ever read. Male monkeys launch into full-on piston mode when their partners get boisterous. So like us.
It's possible this kind of hootin' and hollerin' isn't actually monkey dirty talk and that male macaques are just all fans of humiliation and like being yelled at, but it's a lot funnier when you imagine it's more like a cheerleading routine and the males can't get into it unless they're being told that they're way better than all the other monkeys in the forest and that clearly their monkey dong is the most dongtastical of them all and that no, she is not going to go hump seven more monkeys before the end of the day. Even though she is, because that's kind of what monkeys do. But he doesn't need to know that.

There was a time when singer Katie Laur occupied a unique position in the state, if not the nation. To hear Laur tell it, touring the country with her bluegrass band, playing gigs on "A Prairie Home Companion," producing a series of vinyl records - well, a woman just didn't do this kind of stuff.
"There were maybe two women fronting bluegrass bands," Laur recalls of those heady days performing with The Katie Laur Band on the rowdy nightclub circuit. "I was blessed to be a woman pioneer."
Laur points to her beloved bluegrass as a unique American sound, capturing the movement of an entire population escaping the rural South. "Everybody was moving, looking for jobs and money. Bluegrass encapsulates that shift of a generation, from the country to the towns. It's the sound of stress. It's the rhythm of a factory assembly line. It's the tinny sound of trying to tune in a radio station while driving through Ohio. That's why I became devoted to it."
There is the band's Jeff Roberts on banjo, Buddy Griffin on twin fiddles and Bill LaWarre on mandolin, all traditional bluegrass instruments, to be sure. But then you also hear in The Katie Laur Band's music a hint of the blues, some jazz, even some gospel in one of the group's favorites, "Steamboat in Heaven."
Through it all, Laur's distinctive vocals resonate. In tunes such as Merle Haggard's "If I'd Left It Up To You" and her own "When Earl Taylor Played the Mandolin," the singer/songwriter laments lost love, lost opportunity, nostalgic journeys and newly discovered hope, all framed by a lonesome melancholy.
Born in 1944 in Paris (Tennessee, that is), Laur settled in Cincinnati in 1966 - if "settled" is ever a word you could use in connection with the singer. Yes, she had a "real" job for a short while, as a secretary at General Electric. But then the road beckoned. Laur crisscrossed the country, playing smoky bars and reckless taverns. "It was a wonderful life, traveling on the road, but it sure doesn't make for a lot of peace of mind."
Ultimately, Laur would always drift back to Cincinnati's Main Street and its collection of bohemian nightclubs and coffeehouses, most notably her favorite, Aunt Maudie's. Laur even titled her most recent album "Main Street," and some shops on the drag proudly stock the CD. Laur herself still lives in a walk-up apartment inside the Main Street entertainment district, never more than a heartbeat away from the musical scene she loves.
From day one of her career, "I did make a living out of it, if you can call it a living," Laur recalls with her signature throaty laugh. "I recorded four albums with The Katie Laur Band, including a jazz album."
Laur capped her career with a 2005 induction into the International Bluegrass Music Museum in Owensboro, Kentucky. "Once you're in the museum and have got that kind of recognition, it's hard to know where to go next," she laments.
These days, she's scaled back her gigs even as she works on a memoir and plans a reunion of The Katie Laur Band. "In the summers, I work pretty much, but just outdoors. I am past playing inside bars, with all the smoke, the late hours, the stressful environment. I'd rather wait for the family festivals and fairs."

Oops, something didn't work.
Loved the singular host .. Dan & all his friends <grin/>
I think guy who did the Kinect Gesture Recogination toolkit find or contact someone who can sign.
Imagine learning to sign via the Kinect.
I was wondering that myself. Is the Kinect sensitvie/detailed enough to discriminate individual fingers and their movements?

@ZippyV: @hellokeith: It depends. The API itself doesn't include support for finger tracking, but some devs have used the raw depth camera to do finger tracking. Now you'll notice you're hand has to be pretty close to the camera, so finger tracking won't work standing 3' away.
I haven't tried it, but it does work with the Kinect SDK - http://candescentnui.codeplex.com/
Can next week be TWC9 fire side chat? Smoking jackets?
@Dark_Halmut:We should totally do that one week

Everyone, drop the missing persons report: I'm alive and well. I haven't been away doing anything particularly momentous — I've just been busy with summertime ~whimsy~. (Also my personal life has been HILARIOUS, but that, dear ones, is a story for another day.)
I've also been in a bit of a cooking rut. For the last few months, my meals have gone something like this: Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, leafy greens, repeat.
Don't get me wrong. I have fully enjoyed each and every mountainous salad, crisp and verdant and full of the best summer produce. Delicious? Absolutely. Groundbreaking? Not even a little bit.
But then, something magical happened: I left town for a few weekends and found inspiration. In Chicago, I had vegan chilaquiles, biscuits with chorizo and poached eggs, and glorious seafood salad with olive oil and lemon. Another weekend, I went home for a wedding and stayed with my parents. Cue salmon.
This salmon is probably my very favorite dish that my mom makes. It's undeniably Asian. The flavors are big and bold — there's ginger, vinegar, thai chilis, salted black beans — but the preparation is simple. Searing and simmering is all that is required. This dish is usually served over warm jasmine rice, but I've been loving it with romaine and fresh plum tomatoes. Read more… →

SLU 101 Transfer Orientation FAQ
1. What will I be doing during the one-day program?
A sample schedule for the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program is available here.
2. Will I find out which courses transferred, and how my transferred classes will be applied toward the requirements of my degree program?
Yes. During the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program you will meet with a representative from your college's academic advising office who will review school/college degree requirements and policies. Also, you will meet individually with your academic advisor who will explain to you the courses that transferred, and the degree requirements still to be completed. Official transfer course evaluations are based on official transcripts received. Make sure you inform your academic advisor of completed coursework or degrees not included on the list of official transfer credit.
3. Do the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program dates have limited capacity?
Unfortunately, yes. Each program has a limited capacity because we make every effort to provide students with the opportunity to meet individually with their academic advisor during the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program. Registration for summer SLU 101 Transfer Orientation begins March 1, 2016. (For students registering for the January SLU 101 Transfer Orientation for students enrolling for classes in Spring 2016, registration will open November 2, 2015.)
4. How will I know which SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program I am scheduled to attend?
After you complete and submit the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation registration and Advising Information forms through the registration web site (accessed through mySLU, click on the SLU 101 Registration icon on the Tools tab), you will select the date of the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program that you are able to attend.
5. Do I have to participate in all parts of the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program?
Yes, the components of the program have been carefully considered and should be attended. Important information, which will help you to adjust to your first semester at Saint Louis University, is included in SLU 101 Transfer Orientation. You may not think you need it now, but you will appreciate it later.
6. If I am unable to attend any of the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation programs, can I make other arrangements to complete fall registration?
We expect all new transfer students to attend SLU 101 Transfer Orientation because it provides an opportunity for you to meet with your advisor to register, discuss degree requirements, and to learn about campus services and facilities. If you are unable to attend any of the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation programs, please contact your Admissions Counselor to make other arrangements to complete fall registration.
7. Will I be able to get the schedule of classes I want?
Your advisor will work with you to help you select courses that are appropriate for you and your degree program. Classes tend to close out as the registration process proceeds throughout the summer. Access to fall semester courses is on a "first come, first served" basis.
8. What can I do if I am closed out of a class that I want?
If you cannot register for a class during SLU 101 Transfer Orientation, your advisor can tell you what options are available. An appropriate substitution from your degree program can be made and you may take the closed course in the following semester. Some students may choose to contact individual academic departments to see if the department will give them permission to register for a closed course.
9. Can family members sit in on their student's advising/registration appointment?
Parents and other family members are not invited to the advising appointments. It is an important time for the student to meet with their academic advisor independently and begin developing a relationship. We recommend that family members participate in the parallel Family Program, which has content specifically designed to be of interest to parents and family members.
10. Will I have to take placement tests during SLU 101 Transfer Orientation?
Placement tests for foreign languages are not scheduled for all participants during the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program. However, if you would like to make arrangements to take a placement test during the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program in order to make sure that you are enrolled in the appropriate level foreign language course, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
11. Can my parents or other family members attend?
Yes, your parents and other guests are welcome to come with you to the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation program. Please let us know what guests will be attending with you when you register so we can prepare materials for them.
12. Will I find out my residence hall assignment during SLU 101 Transfer Orientation?
The Department of Housing and Residence Life will mail out housing assignments in July. Click here for more information regarding Housing and Residence life.
13. Will I be able to take a campus tour?
Yes, the Admissions Office conducts tours daily. Tour times will be listed on the SLU 101 Transfer Orientation schedule you'll receive when you arrive.
14. Where do I park on campus?

Please let us know if you are unable to attend. You may call (314) 977-2805 We appreciate any notice that you can give us so that we can inform your academic advisor and others who may be expecting you.
16. What should I do if I still have a question?
If our Frequently Asked Questions missed your question, please contact us at 314-977-2805 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Union Ship Canal in South Buffalo is a tempting swimming hole, especially on a hot summer evening.
The area, south of Tifft Street near Lackawanna, is pretty and secluded, in a parklike setting with bike and walking paths on both sides of the water. The canal current seems tame, and there's no apparent undertow.
But there is one problem.
There's no easy way to get out of the water if you are jumping from the pedestrian-bike bridge that spans the canal.
That's why firefighters say the canal, where two teens drowned Thursday night, is not a safe place to swim. Alexis Matte, 16, of Buffalo, and Dondre Herring, 17, of Lackawanna, died after being pulled from the canal about 8:15 p.m. on the Fourth of July.
In fact, "No Swimming" signs, in both English and Spanish, are posted on each side of the bridge. And the southern side of the canal has a small fence, about 4 feet high, although even a teenager wouldn't have any trouble getting over it.
The canal does have three bright yellow ladders, two on the south side of the canal, one on the north side, but all are about 100 yards from the bridge, which is a popular jumping-off point.
One Buffalo firefighter stood on the bridge Friday and looked at one of the ladders about a football field away.
"That's suicide," the firefighter said, looking at the 10-foot-high canal walls. "I'm a good swimmer, and I would have trouble swimming to that ladder. I wouldn't even attempt it."
Another city worker who wouldn't give his name stood on the bridge Friday and offered a safety suggestion: putting a life ring every 500 feet along the water, on each side.
Those life rings could have 100 to 200 feet of rope attached, and they could be put all along the city's waterfront, this person added.
"In retrospect, it seems silly," he said of not having such life-saving equipment. "What's a life worth?"
But Buffalo Fire Commissioner Garnell W. Whitfield Jr., following a Friday afternoon news conference, questioned how feasible it would be to install such life-saving devices over some 15 miles of Buffalo waterfront.
The fire commissioner cited a larger issue: that of people not understanding the danger of swimming in posted and unsafe waters.
"Kids are very creative," he told reporters. "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Authorities on Friday were trying to piece together exactly what happened Thursday night in the canal, which is located about five miles south of downtown Buffalo in a former industrial area that's been refurbished as an office park with a park in the middle.
The City of Buffalo has led the development of the canal area, but city spokesman Michael DeGeorge said he did not know if the city owns it.
"At this time, I'm not sure how they entered the water originally," Whitfield said of the two teens. "They had been there for a while, and this was not their first entry into the water."
Ron Delano, an eyewitness to the tragedy, saw only one of the two swimmers, but first thought it was just a typical scene with kids swimming in the canal. Until he looked more closely.
"I saw right away one kid was struggling, visibly struggling," the South Buffalo man said. "I saw his head, and he was flapping his arms. He went under and came back up. I told my wife he didn't seem to know what he was doing. Then I saw him go down again, and he didn't come back up."
One person dove into the canal to try to save the two teens – unsuccessfully. That person, who was not identified, didn't have anything to hang onto until police later threw him a life ring.
Delano understands the lure of the water, even if it's murky at the bottom.
"But I can't see swimming where there's almost no way to get out," he added.
The canal, about 25 feet deep at the deepest point, is an inviting spot because it links to nearby Lackawanna neighborhoods via a small road, said Jose Rivera, 30, a Lackawanna resident.
Rivera often tells his two teenage children to stay away from the canal, because it is hard to climb out once a person gets in the water.
But, like the two teens who died, Rivera's children sometimes go in anyway.
"On a day like this, what are children going to do?" he asked, standing at the canal's edge. "If they're seeking somewhere to cool off, this is the only place to do it."
Rivera said there are few options for children to swim in a pool or play in a splash pad in Lackawanna. The outer harbor is visible from the ship canal but is largely obstructed by the elevated Route 5, and there are no swimmable beaches in that area.
The closest Lake Erie swimming area is in Woodlawn Beach State Park, more than five miles away.
Rivera has taken his children to Cazenovia Park in South Buffalo, which has an indoor pool and outdoor splash pad, or even as far as the YMCA in Orchard Park.
"They definitely are no longer permitted to go down here," he said of the ship canal. "I told them wherever they want to go, I will drive them."
Thursday's tragedy occurred less than a month after Ellicott Council member Darius G. Pridgen introduced legislation, later passed by the Common Council, to provide more public-service messages about the dangers of swimming in unauthorized swimming areas, especially for people between 11 and 25.
"Young people often look for that quick cool-off in unauthorized water," Pridgen said Friday. "But unfortunately, that quick cool-off can be tragic.
"I think it's very tempting to jump into what seems to be calm water," he added. "The danger is you never know what is underneath the water."
Friday also was a day for friends to mourn their loss.
Dondre attended Lackawanna High School, and he identified himself online as a member of the Lackawanna school chorus.
Rivera, the Lackawanna father, said his children knew Dondre as "a regular kid," and a friend wrote on the Internet that Dondre was "a great friend."
Alexis and Dondre posted numerous photos together on the Internet. In one, Dondre called Alexis "so beautiful."
Shortly after noon Friday, a man who identified himself to reporters as Alexis' father walked onto the bridge, with a male friend or relative, and stood there for more than 15 minutes, looking into the canal.
At one point, one of the men took a small bouquet of flowers and kissed it.
Then he threw the bouquet into the water.

A Blair County judge has ruled the owner of a building that houses the Phoenicia Mediterranean Restaurant on Logan Boulevard cannot put up a sign on the property declaring the building is for sale because signage was not included in a lease he has with the restaurant owner.
The owner of the restaurant, Husam Obeid, opposed the "For Sale" sign because he said it gave the public and his customers the false impression that his restaurant was closing. Obeid said he received many phone calls about the restaurant's future after building owner James Focht installed the sign.
Obeid said he has catering commitments, and his customers were upset at the possibility the restaurant would no longer be in business. He removed the sign.
Focht, operating under the name of J&S Properties LLC, 412 E. Sixth Ave., reacted by asking the Blair County Court of Common Pleas for an injunction restoring the sign and barring Obeid from removing it.
Blair County President Judge Jolene G. Kopriva came down on Obeid's side in a memorandum opinion issued Tuesday morning in which she clarified the rights of property owners versus the rights of a lessee who is operating a business in the building.
"We find merit in the lessee's [restaurant's] argument," Kopriva stated.
She cited a 1974 state Supreme Court decision that concluded a lease "is tantamount to absolute ownership of the premises for the term [of the lease]."
She determined that the only rights a property owner has "are those he reserved under lease terms."
In reviewing the lease between J&S and Obeid, which still has 20 years to run, the owner of the building has the right to make repairs and alterations and add to the structure.
But there is no language in the lease that would permit the owner to place a sign on the property advertising the building for sale.
"We do not interpret such language to include signs that would disrupt the business of the lessee," Kopriva ruled.
The injunction request was filed two weeks ago by J&S attorney James Huff. Attorney Daniel Stants represented Obeid.
As the dust from the case settled, Obeid wanted to make it clear that his restaurant has been operating for five years, and it will continue to operate.
"I have a long-term lease," he said.
The injunction case didn't change Focht's mind. He still wants to sell the building.
According to court papers, Focht wanted to sell the building because the property is listed for sheriff's sale on April 10 because of a mortgage foreclosure proceeding.
As of Tuesday morning, the Blair County sheriff still had the building listed for sale, but Focht said Tuesday afternoon the proposed sale had been withdrawn.
Obeid said he made an offer to purchase the building, but Focht is asking for too much money.
Focht said that while he cannot place a "For Sale" sign on the property, he intends to advertise the building for sale in the Mirror.
Focht had no comment on the judge's decision, but he said he did everything he could to accommodate the restaurant stating on the large "For Sale" sign that the restaurant was open and under a long-term lease.
He said he will be meeting with his attorney next Monday to discuss the next step.
Focht said all he wants to do is sell the property, but he complained, "I'm not allowed to put a sign on my own property."
He said there's "something wrong with the system."

You hear many, many people say "never let the baby run the house" and that's just so much easier said than done, people. Especially when your toddler is like a peanut-sized trained pit bull ready to attack at any given moment- especially if you, say, look at him. Or offer him the wrong kind of cereal (which used to be his very favorite until this very second and HOW DARE YOU, MOTHER, YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!)
Or, if you touch the favored cereal box without his permission first… he may never forgive you.
Currently that would be Honey Bunches of Oats, which he calls "his Honeys" and I try not to laugh because that only sends him into a bloody tailspin of teeth and tears and blood (mostly mine).
Ah, anyway. This cuddly ball-of-fright of a child likes to sleep with me more often than not. Maybe he's guarding me? I think that's more it. Talking in his sleep last night he cried out, "Daddy, don't touch my honeys! Never touch my honeys!"After I removed his toe from my mouth, I consoled him promising that no one is going to touch his honeys. They are his honeys. His beloved honeys, which, upon preparing breakfast this morning, I offered so kindly and delicately, and then his hair stood up from his head and his eyes turned red and the pitch of his voice rattled the windows next door.
He doesn't like the honeys anymore.

, updated December 27, 2012 at 8:04 AM
Lavone Rodolph graduated from Hutch-Tech in 1999, and Mwita Phelps in 1991.
A lot has happened at their high school since then.
A $31.6 million renovation project, completed in 2008, brought the building into the 21st century.
Now, Rodolph and Phelps are helping to ensure students at Hutchinson-Central Technical High School and 11 other Buffalo Public Schools will keep pace with what's happening outside their classrooms, as part of a new program that transforms how science is taught in the district.
"The great story about both of these people: They are local kids doing exactly what we think nobody does," said Joseph A. Gardella Jr., the University at Buffalo chemistry professor leading the project.
Rodolph worked five years as a software engineer for a defense contractor before returning to UB to pursue a doctorate in computer science and engineering. As a graduate assistant for the new program, he divides 20 hours a week between his alma mater, where he helps teach computer technology, and Burgard High School, where he assists a physics teacher in creating and conducting laboratory experiments that reinforce concepts taught in classes.
"I love giving back. It reminds me of when I was a student here," Rodolph said outside the Hutch-Tech classroom where he helped teach a lesson on applications for the Android operating system.
"I love interacting with the students ... to spark an interest," he continued. "It doesn't necessarily have to be computer science. ... We try to encourage, even from a middle school level, to pursue a STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] field."
Phelps is a scientist at Life Technologies, a Grand Island biotechnology firm where he recruited colleagues to join the program as mentors. Plans for further involvement are in the works, with the support of company leadership.
"For me, it's rewarding," Phelps said. "If the work that we are doing can help students – particularly in the Buffalo Public Schools system – become more confident ... pursue science-based careers, I feel that that alone is the reward."
This Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Partnership program began 18 months ago and is funded by a five-year $9.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
It's building on a pilot project several years ago at a magnet school in Buffalo.
Leading the initiative are UB, Buffalo State College, Buffalo Public Schools and the Buffalo Museum of Science. Medaille College has signed on, Gardella said, and additional colleges are expected to join.
Supporting partners include Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Praxair and Science Kit.
During each of the grant's five years, at least 50 teachers are selected to participate in a summer development/research experience that they're expected to incorporate in their classrooms.
This past summer, Hutch-Tech computer technology teacher Mary Ziewers worked with Rodolph to develop an Android operating system programming course.
"You're really preparing them," she said of how the program benefits students. "You're letting them know what really happens in the workforce, helping them be successful in college."
Buffalo Public Schools played a role in the success of Rodolph and Phelps, both of whom displayed early signs of their futures in their youth.
"Before I came to Hutch-Tech, I loved taking things apart," Rodolph said. His mother encouraged him, suggesting that he pursue engineering.
"When I came to Hutch-Tech, that's what I majored in. I went through the same program these kids are going through right now," said Rodolph, who earned a master's degree in computer science and engineering from UB.
Similarly, Phelps said his interest in science dates back at least to seventh or eighth grade, when a science teacher nurtured him.
"She noticed I was doing well in the classes," Phelps said, and she offered him advice. "My family took an active role in encouraging me to do this, as well."
Phelps earned undergraduate and graduate degrees locally, was a volunteer researcher at Roswell Park and worked for a Lancaster-based environmental management firm. He earned a doctorate from Pennsylvania State University, where he studied organic chemistry.
Phelps worked several years in medicine development at the Philadelphia office of an international pharmaceutical company before returning to Buffalo to raise his family. He has participated in after-school programs to help minority students prepare for careers in science and engineering, and he taught a transitional chemistry class for new college students.
Both are enthusiastic about what the program can do for students.
"You don't have to have special talents," said Phelps. "What's needed are good problem-solving skills," which he said can be developed through experience and school training.
"If people can accept that ... we will start to see more students ... deciding they want to be scientists in the future," Phelps said.
Working with students has Rodolph envisioning a possible future for himself as a professor.
"I really love interacting with students," he said. "I really love when they get the 'aha' moment."

(CNN) – President Barack Obama will hit the road again to talk about jobs and the economy, resetting the message amid a busy summer that's so far been dominated by immigration reform efforts, the IRS scandal, national security leaks and the president's trips to Europe and Africa.
Obama will return to Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois on Wednesday to kick off a series of speeches about his economic plan, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer wrote in an e-mail to supporters Sunday evening.
The president will also visit Warrensburg, Missouri, on Wednesday and travel to Jacksonville, Florida, the following day to speak again on the country's economic conditions. During additional stops in the coming weeks, Pfeiffer wrote Obama will touch on jobs, education, health care and retirement, including "new ideas and new pushes for ideas he has discussed before."
"He'll talk about the progress we've made together, the challenges that remain, and the path forward," Pfeiffer wrote in the e-mail, referring to the Knox College speech.
According to a White House official, the road show will wrap up before Washington faces another debt ceiling deadline around the end of September. Wednesday's speech will also include mention of the economic case for immigration reform, the official confirmed.
The e-mail included a link to a video that harkens back to Obama's 2005 speech at Knox College–not long after Obama was elected U.S. senator–when the White House says Obama gave his first major address about his economic ideas.
"It's been the creation of a massive middle class, through decent wages and benefits and public schools, that allowed us all to prosper," he said at the time. "It depended on a belief in the free market, but it also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other."
The video splices together quotes from some of the president's economic-themed speeches since then, including many familiar refrains that focus on the middle class.
Polls indicate that the economy remains the top issue on the minds of Americans.
"The economy, and the things we can do to help it grow and strengthen and secure and expand the middle class, has been, is and will be the central focus of the president's domestic policy," White House press secretary Jay Carney said on Friday.
In late May and early June, Obama held events about jobs in Baltimore, Maryland; Austin, Texas; and Charlotte, North Carolina. The White House touts the growth of 7.2 million private-sector jobs in the last 40 months and an unemployment level that has dropped to 7.6% from its peak of 10% in October 2009.
Republicans, however, argue the president is pursuing the wrong economic policies, citing the still relatively high unemployment rate as an example. The president's first step, many have argued in recent weeks, should be repealing Obamacare, a program they consider detrimental to job creation.
Their argument was further bolstered earlier this month when the White House announced it would delay a key provision of the program that requires employers to provide health insurance. House Republicans passed a bill last week requiring the Obama administration to delay the provision that requires individuals to get health insurance or face a penalty.
– CNN's Adam Aigner-Treworgy, Jessica Yellin, Paul Steinhauser and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA -- I paid a total of almost $13 for the newly advertised on TV "Mango" Grilled Tostada and "Mango" Taco Plate with NO "Mangoes." When I complained to the clerk I was told they were "out of mangoes" and yet I was never told beforehand nor offered a coupon or free dessert after the fact. I specifically went to El Pollo Loco to try the new specials and was very disappointed and felt cheated by having to pay for something I didn't even get. I really feel like this is "false advertising" and I hesitate to ever go back again because of it.
In fact that was my first visit back to El Pollo Loco in several years because I was impressed that they had revamped their boring menu. Furthermore the portions were skimpy, the shells stale and the chicken hard on the edges as if it was old and had been sitting for too long. Bad experience all around and not worth the money.
CALIFORNIA -- Years ago this was good chicken, good loco salad, at a reasonable price. The prices have gone through the roof. The chicken pieces are half the size they were. Over a buck for two little nibbles? Yikes. I'm not Warren Buffet. No more specials on chicken, and sides nearly doubled in price. No more that place for me. If I want chicken, I'll drop the $11 at Hometown buffet and get all I want. It's just as good.
Regarding El Pollo Loco #3380 at 19762 Ventura Blvd., Woodland Hills, CA. I phoned the El Pollo Loco customer service line to make a complaint. This was approximately two months ago. I have never heard back from the company. Not a phone call, email or letter. I'm now more angry about the lack of response than the original complaint.
The original complaint was regarding a coupon. That particular coupon indicated there would be a $5 discount if a family pack of 12 or more pieces were purchased. The total price of the sale was approximately $22. As the order was being completed the employee said I had gone past the expiration date by 3 days. I told her I didn't realize that and she said that the order couldn't be completed. I asked for the manager and I was told the coupon had expired.
I was very upset because I was seeing the same coupon being handed to other customers, so why was the expiration date so critical. If the point of the coupon was to bring in customers then why have an expiration date when the same coupon is being given out to others. Since it was clear that this location had such great sales that it was willing to turn away a $22 sale. I drove a couple of blocks east and made my purchase at KFC. I prefer El Pollo Loco but when customers are treated the way I was treated I'll gladly go elsewhere.
When ordering a Jalapeno sandwich without sauce I get a guacamole sandwich instead. Upon return I get a Jalapeno with more sauce than should be legal. Upon my second return I get another one full of sauce, at this point they had pushed my buttons. At that point in time I grabbed the bun and smeared it all over the drive through window, "What part of NO sauce do you not comprehend?" The manager then gave me my money back. What I fail to comprehend is it is cheaper for any restaurant to leave ingredients off an order yet they turn "no sauce" into rocket science.
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA -- Today, El Pollo Loco is offering a 'Taste the Fire' for free promotion. For each customer you get a grilled thigh, leg, 2 tortillas (choice of flour or corn) and fresh salsa. Keep in mind that one must ask for this offer, and it's only at participating locations. Also only available inside the restaurant, however, you could order it to go (which we did).
I haven't had El Pollo Loco chicken in over 20 years, since moving to the east coast, and my husband and I thought we would give it a try. We parked, and went inside to order. The store appeared very clean (important, I know). We had virtually no wait in line. Our cashier was extremely pleasant to deal with. As a little splurge, I also ordered a $1 taquito, and my husband ordered a side of mashed potatoes.
A trip to the salsa bar was certainly in order, and I wasn't shy about choosing several different ones, along with lemon wedges and cilantro. The chicken was juicy and very tasty, with only a hint of citrus marinade. The salsas were quite fresh and delicious. I loved every bite of it, but waited for my husband's take on the food, as he can be picky sometimes. He loved it too, and I'm sure we will be back to try some of the other dishes.. Kudos to the manager and staff of El Pollo Loco on Upton Drive in Virginia Beach!
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA -- First of all, how dare you require my address in order to complain! I have been visiting your chain since 1988. Today was the worst experience ever at the Burbank blvd, North Hollywood location. The quality control was terrible. No breasts. No wings. No avocado salsa. No nacho cheese. Chunky and very watery salsa. The chicken in the tostada salada was old and tasted like it was refrigerated over night.
Every trip to this location seems to get worse and worse. They rarely have ice cream and when they do, they stop making it at around 7:00 pm. Often the cheese and fries are kept until they become very stale. The beans consist of about half water. I often wonder if I am going to get salmonella from the very lightly cooked chicken. I don't think the owner even gives a damn about the customers, and he lost one today.
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA -- I have gone to the El Pollo Loco on Market/Cherry and every time I have ordered a flan and every time they say they are not ready, I don't care if its 11 am, 1 pm, or 5 pm the excuse is the same. They have the best flans and I usually order 2 or 3 at a time at least twice a week and they tell me the same thing, they are NOT ready... Just thought I would inform you and I probably won't return if this problem keeps occurring. Thank you.

Songs, dances, testimonies by volunteers in Cambodia
03 November 2005, 18:08
by Ruby Banez
We have started preparations since last month for this year's IVD celebration in Cambodia. The UN Volunteers have unanimously decided to highlight the event through a celebration that would feature a concert of songs about volunteerism - wherein volunteer songs that were composed in 2001 as part of IYV event then would be interpreted by volunteers not only from UNV but from other local and foreign volunteer organizations in Cambodia (like VSO, VSA, KOICA, AYADP and others), dance numbers would be rendered by a group of volunteer PLHAs (people living with AIDS) and sharing of testimonies from selected volunteers - as to how volunteerism has changed their lives.
The celebration is to be coupled with an exhibit of photos of volunteers in action, distribution of materials and other document on volunteerism produced by the participating volunteer organizations and display/sale of products made by volunteers.
Among the list guests are the heads of UN agencies in Cambodia, representatives from UNV host organizations, colleagues from UNDP, all UNVs, and representative number from the different volunteer organizations in Cambodia.

Heat stress road show rolls on
Heat stress road show rolls on
Experts from the University of Florida and Texas A&M continue their road show in the U.S. next spring.
We joined nearly 50 dairy producers in Okeechobee, Fla., yesterday for the first leg of the Heat Stress Road Show. The presentations were full of great statistics and facts based on research done at many universities in North America and Europe.
We heard from four of the world's leading researchers who are collaborating on a $1 million grant to find genetic markers for heat stress. As we've found in the genomic era, there are markers for nearly everything if we have enough data to find them.
Heat stress lasts three seasons down here
In Florida, heat stress is nearly a year-round problem. We've been in Florida this week with lows of 60° F and highs of 80° F. This is exactly normal temperatures for the southernmost area of the continental U.S.
Some highlighted takeaways from the conference include:
- Don't forget about dry cows and heifers. Research has shown that adequate cooling for both groups can lead to greater production in their future lactations.
- The above being known, if space isn't available, focus cooling efforts on the highest-producing cows.
- Remember that often one or two days of each year contain a heat wave that can kill many cows in a specific area of the country. Abating heat during these times could save millions of dollars.
- Cows like 40° to 60° F weather. Don't shut the fans off in the barn when you're comfortable as cows will still have more heat to get rid of than you do. You're heading into air-conditioning, but they're continuing outside with a roof that keeps much of their body heat in.
We tweeted many more tidbits from our @HoardsDairyman twitter.com account. Feel free to follow all of our tweets at www.twitter.com/HoardsDairyman (you don't need to make an account). Also, we specifically saved the tweets on heat stress at the following link: http://bit.ly/Hoards-HSRS. Again, you can browse them without making a Twitter account.
The road show rolls on with four more stops, including one in Puerto Rico on Friday. Yesterday's room was full of Florida dairy producers, one Hoard's Dairyman editor, and a dairy producer from Wisconsin.
All sessions begin at 10 a.m., and end at 2:45 p.m., with a free lunch catered:
December 8, 2011 – Puerto Rico
April 3, 2012 – Stephanville, Texas
April 4, 2012 – Clovis, N.M.
April 6, 2012 – Tulare, Calif.
