California Illegal Immigrant Decision Shows Need for Dream Act
Why the California decision makes sense.
I get Google alerts daily. They alert me to things I've said or done or things people accuse me of saying. So today I see this Google alert that says: "Leslie Marshall said on Fox News today that she supports people coming to America illegally and using United States Of America Tax Dollars for educating ..." huh??? Wait a minute! I hear the needle being scratched on the record! I also would recommend hitting the replay button!
I was responding to a question regarding the California court ruling allowing illegal immigrants who reside in California to be given the reduced tuition that other California residents who are citizens receive. Out of state potential students who are citizens are outraged.
Let me be clear--(sorry, sidebar: just heard former Sen. Larry Craig saying "let me be clear I am not gay I never have been gay" in my head--ok I'll put down the funny cigarettes now! )
[Check out a roundup of editorial cartoons about illegal immigration.]
Ok, take two: let me be clear. I do not approve of anyone coming to this country illegally. My grandparents came here with what they could carry in a suitcase and they did it legally through the front door. But let's also be realists. Most students in California who are illegal came here as children and their parents jumped the fence. Should they be blamed for their parents sins? And what will happen to these students if they don't go to college? The options might be picking lettuce and then they won't be paying taxes. If they don't go to college they might end up on one of our social programs like welfare or clog our emergency rooms. And of course, they might resort to a life of crime; they say it pays and no taxes there either. There is a direct correlation between a lack of education and the criminal element. A vast majority of people in prison dropped out of school. So you decide. I know you don't want people coming here illegally; but if you lived in any country 10, 16, 18 years isn't that now your country? Isn't America these children's country? The only homeland they ever knew?
[Read more about immigration reform.]
Just as Arizona used its muscle as a state to get the federal government to enforce immigration reform, California might be doing the same, but in a different way. I believe the ruling in the California court shows exactly why we need the Dream Act. Providing a pathway to citizenship for those who want to go to school and stay in school. This way they would have more of a future than becoming lettuce pickers, welfare recipients or criminals. You can't have it both ways America. You decide. You aren't going to deport these children; wouldn't you rather have them educated? And as residents of California, aren't they entitled to the same tuition rate as a citizen? Especially if they're enroute to becoming citizens?
I live in California and by the way those are California tax dollars, not U.S. tax dollars. So I'd be one whose tax dollars would pay for this. We must provide a pathway to citizenship for these students or they wont be able to obtain jobs upon leaving college. What good is a degree if you can't use it? An educated America is a safer America. And personally, I'm tired of the dumbing down of America. Oh, and speaking of the dumbing down, if any of you wish to refudiate that add to the thread of this blog.

NEW YORK — Barbara Walters said Monday that retirement from her epochal television career is near, but it's not happening right away.
Walters, who began in television news as a "Today" girl in 1961, became the medium's best-known interviewer and invented a daytime talk show at an age many people would be going fishing, said on "The View" that she will step away from the camera next summer.
Before that, her retirement tour will include TV specials looking back at her work.

The Crows rested their 10 best players for their round one NAB Cup clashes against St Kilda and Port Adelaide. That opened the door for some young players, but also allowed those just outside the top 10 to take on a more important role. Midfielder Matthew Wright was the pick of the bunch, showing why he's likely to take a big step after a great 2012. The hard-at-it Aidan Riley also stood out. Wonderkid Brad Crouch enjoyed his first taste of AFL and backed it up as the club's highest possession-getter in Adelaide's trial against Fremantle at the weekend. Scott Thompson, Ben Rutten, Brent Reilly, Jason Porplyzia and Sam Jacobs could all play their first football for 2013 against Geelong on Saturday, while the race to fill Kurt Tippett's position as a forward/second ruck is still on in earnest, so expect Josh Jenkins, Shaun McKernan, Lewis Johnston and Angus Graham to keep pushing their cases.
Brisbane Lions
The Lions made a perfect two-for-two start and gave coach Michael Voss a few selection headaches. With co-captain Jed Adcock to come back against GWS on Saturday, the half-back line is getting congested following excellent showings from Mitch Golby, Elliot Yeo and James Polkinghorne. Brent Moloney starred in his Lions' debut, while Pat Karnezis reveled in the midfield to put his hand up for regular selection. Jonathan Brown, Simon Black, Pearce Hanley and Brent Staker may still be missing, but the Lions have a shot at winning the pre-season competition now and want to keep the winning form going.
Mick Malthouse admitted his side will take a little while coming to grips with his new game-plan, but on Sunday the Blues had a few more avenues to goal which will please the new coach. The Blues appeared to kick long on most occasions and use the boundary line more, working towards key talls Sam Rowe and Levi Casboult. Having been through illness last year with testicular cancer, Rowe returned to show his marking and goalkicking ability in wins against Greater Western Sydney and the Sydney Swans. Another change under Malthouse could see Eddie Betts spend more time in the middle after some classy efforts there on the weekend.
The big debate at Collingwood this week is player management versus priorities. A win over West Coast at Patersons Stadium on Sunday night will likely mean that the winner of the game the following week against the Brisbane Lions at Etihad Stadium makes the NAB Cup Grand Final. But there will be just six days between the two matches and a cross-country flight as well, so the likelihood is the Pies will take a younger squad to Perth on the weekend and spare some of their big names from playing in the expected 32-degree heat in Western Australia. Tyson Goldsack and Alex Fasolo returned from injury in last Friday's intra-club clash and can expect to be on the plane to Perth. Vice-captain Luke Ball's return from a knee reconstruction will come on Saturday week against the Lions.
The Bombers probably would have played a side closer to full-strength in the first round of the NAB Cup if not for injuries. But it didn't stop Essendon from looking pretty good against the Western Bulldogs and Collingwood on the opening night of the pre-season competition, with new recruit Brendon Goddard the standout. Goddard's skills through the midfield, coupled with his leadership, was evident from the moment he stepped onto Etihad Stadium and he looms as a huge part of Essendon's plans. Nick Kommer could push straight into the Bombers' starting line-up after an impressive start as a small forward and dogged midfielder.
Fremantle used just 26 players across its opening two NAB Cup matches before a further six – including key midfielders David Mundy and Nat Fyfe – were given match practice in a trial game against Adelaide last Saturday. With ruckman Aaron Sandilands (hamstring) sidelined for up to eight weeks, coach Ross Lyon will focus on building chemistry between his midfielders and ruckmen Jon Griffin, Zac Clarke and recruit Jack Hannath, who is an outside chance to play in round one. Captain Matthew Pavlich, who is back in full training after recovering from hip, back and Achilles tendon operations, could return against Carlton in round two, pending the birth of his first child. Michael Barlow, Stephen Hill and Michael Walters have impressed early.
The Cats welcomed a number of new players into their team when they took on West Coast and Fremantle on the opening weekend of the NAB Cup. Former Gold Coast midfielder Josh Caddy showed glimpses of his talent, kicking the first goal in the narrow victory over the Eagles, while ex-Melbourne defender Jared Rivers slotted nicely into Geelong's backline. Both Rivers and Caddy are likely to be picked for Saturday's clash with Adelaide at Simonds Stadium. Speedy midfielder Travis Varcoe will also take on the Crows. Varcoe, who was restricted to just one game last year due to a foot stress fracture, looked his old self against the Eagles, snapping a great goal late in the game. But a rolled ankle is set to keep Mathew Stokes on the sidelines this weekend.
Gold Coast
It was a mixed bag in round one, but the good outweighed the bad. Rory Thompson locked down his key defensive post with an outstanding display against Lance Franklin, while Harley Bennell was full of class, former Fremantle defender Greg Broughton was solid, and young midfielders Jaeger O'Meara, Jesse Lonergan and Jack Martin showed enough to suggest the Suns are in good hands long term. There was a noticeable drop-off against the Lions when they rested centre square trio Zac Smith, captain Gary Ablett and Karmichael Hunt. Watch for Ablett and Michael Rischitelli to get more minutes against North Melbourne on Saturday after disrupted pre-seasons.
Greater Western Sydney
GWS made it clear leading up to round one of the NAB Cup its intention to pick its best available side and attempt to be extremely competitive. Following a two-point defeat to Carlton and a four-goal victory over the Sydney Swans, its mission has been accomplished so far. A host of youngsters, including Jonathon Patton, Adam Treloar, Anthony Miles, Adam Kennedy and Liam Sumner, quickly showed the benefits of pre-season training and are right on track for round one. No.1 draft pick Lachie Whitfield also performed well. Callan Ward (knee) and Bret Thornton (rested) should face the Brisbane Lions in Wagga this week and coach Kevin Sheedy will have some looming selection headaches due to the newfound depth at his disposal.
The Hawks won't be too concerned by the weekend's losses in Queensland, particularly given they left their entire frontline midfield at home. Coach Alastair Clarkson used Ryan Schoenmakers forward and Jarryd Roughead at centre half-back, and it wouldn't surprise to see those roles reprised at Etihad Stadium on Friday night against the Western Bulldogs. Rookie-listed small forward Derick Wanganeen and recruit Jonathan Simpkin both put their names up for further opportunities with good performances. Brian Lake will miss facing his old team because of calf soreness, while Cyril Rioli will be sidelined for at least two weeks with an ankle sprain. Small forward Paul Puopolo will also miss after suffering bone bruising to his knee late in the loss to Gold Coast, but the club seems optimistic he'll be fit for round one.
Melbourne threw 10 players into senior football in a Demons jumper for the first time in round one of the NAB Cup and you can expect a young team to head to Renmark for round two against Port Adelaide. Jesse Hogan – who is ineligible for senior football until 2014 – was most impressive. Jack Viney and Jimmy Toumpas have promising futures, while recycled players Chris Dawes, Shannon Byrnes and David Rodan looked organised and capable of giving their teammates confidence. Dean Kent, Matt Jones, Tom Gillies, James Magner, Neville Jetta and Aaron Davey will push their case for some early season AFL action in the next three weeks.
North Melbourne
North's wealth of tall options seems to get richer by the game, with coach Brad Scott facing some selection dilemmas ahead of round one. Majak Daw added to his highlights reel against Melbourne and Richmond last Friday night and should get another chance to push his case against Gold Coast on Saturday. Ruckman Dan Currie also impressed last Friday night and, along with Daw, would appear to be vying with Lachie Hansen and Robbie Tarrant for two key-forward spots alongside Drew Petrie. Key defender Nathan Grima, forward Leigh Adams and former Gold Coast defender Taylor Hine missed Friday night's games but could return against the Suns.
Port Adelaide
Port fielded a new-look line-up in its NAB Cup games against the Crows and St Kilda with nine players debuting for the club. Angus Monfries looked in brilliant nick before injuring his hamstring and pocket rocket Jake Neade showed why post-trade wraps on him were so big with several impressive passages of play and a goal. Hamish Hartlett was strong and clever, Jay Schulz continued on from his five-goal half in the club's trial against its SANFL side, while rookie Kane Mitchell also raised some eyebrows. Against Melbourne in Renmark on Sunday, the Power could inject ruckman Matthew Lobbe into the side if his hamstring is up to it and would hope to see continued improvement by potential stars Jasper Pittard, Chad Wingard and Matthew Broadbent.
The Tigers fielded a strong squad in round one of the NAB Cup with only Jake King, Troy Chaplin, Nathan Foley, Dylan Grimes and Sam Lonergan out. All except for Foley are chances to play this week or next. Ricky Petterd, Ivan Maric and Aaron Edwards played one game each last Friday, with Matt White, Orren Stephenson and Luke McGuane replacing them in the second. Nick Vlastuin impressed in the middle and Chris Knights had eight disposals against North. Richmond would have loved to pinch the win against North but Damien Hardwick's decision to leave Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio, Dustin Martin and Shane Tuck on the bench in the dying stages indicates it wasn't paramount.
St Kilda
Nick Riewoldt, Lenny Hayes, Sam Fisher, Sean Dempster and Adam Schneider were among those who didn't play against Adelaide and Port Adelaide but all are expected to feature over the next few weeks. The Saints thrashed a depleted Adelaide team before being belted by a fresh Power outfit in a searing South Australian heat that irked Scott Watters later on. WAFL recruit Tom Lee was better in the second game and former Gold Coast big man Tom Hickey acquitted himself well in the ruck, while the newly-named Beau Maister impressed with a pair of goals and strong marking.
Sydney Swans
A month behind some clubs due to its march to the 2012 premiership, the Swans still picked an extremely young, experimental line-up for round one of the NAB Cup to see who was ready for senior football. Two disappointing defeats were not what the coaching staff was seeking. Tony Armstrong and Luke Parker were two of the only players to stand out. While they tried some youngsters, the Swans are also well aware of the immediate need to get some miles into their veterans' legs. In the coming weeks, Nick Smith, Marty Mattner and Adam Goodes will be wheeled out. Coach John Longmire will also be expecting a far more competitive showing throughout the pre-season after the club failed to produce its trademark effort in week one.
West Coast
Ruckman Dean Cox is expected to return from a finger injury against Collingwood in round two of the NAB Cup after missing the Eagles' opening clashes. With Cox and Nic Naitanui (groin) sidelined in round one of the pre-season competition, young ruckman Scott Lycett and recruit Callum Sinclair were given opportunities and both impressed. The club used 29 players across the two shortened matches against Geelong and Fremantle, including draftees Adam Carter and Mark Hutchings. The Eagles would still have been reviewing recruit Sharrod Wellingham's impressive start when it emerged he had damaged an ankle on a trampoline and would be ruled out for the rest of the NAB Cup.
Western Bulldogs
The Bulldogs fielded near full-strength sides in the losses to Essendon and Collingwood but showed their best will be competitive in 2013. Prized recruit Jack Macrae impressed with his composure on debut while rookie Brett Goodes put his hand up for elevation to the senior list with a polished performance. Recycled additions Nick Lower and Tom Young showed they'll add grunt and a hard edge to Brendan McCartney's developing list. The Dogs look likely to use the remainder of the pre-season competition to introduce draftees Jake Stringer, Nathan Hrovat and Josh Prudden. Key defender Tom Williams will also need game time after an interrupted preparation due to a foot complaint.'

March 21, 2008: Save Syracuse Swimming and Diving Foundation LTD. Incorporated -
Press Release
January 15, 2008 - Syracuse University extends Swimming and Diving through the 2010-11 Season. Read the
press release
from Athletic Director Daryl Gross announcing the extension of the swimming and diving program, originally planned to be terminated at the end of this school term, for an additional three years.
The Administration of Syracuse University officially announced on June 1, 2007 that it will eliminate their Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving teams after the 2007-08 season. Their intention is to add a Women's hockey program beginning in the 2008-09 season. Syracuse Director of Athletics Daryl Gross has claimed that the decisions were made based on extensive research within the athletic department. What was concluded was that to be competitive within the Division 1 of the NCAA, the University would need to construct a new swimming facility that would house a larger pool; a financial project the University is not willing to undertake. Dr. Gross has also stated that a women's hockey team will be more competitive on a national level.
This announcement will end a 90-year swimming and diving tradition at Syracuse, one with a longstanding reputation of both athletic and academic excellence. This past academic year both men's and women's swimming were recognized by receiving All-Academic status from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America for the 12th consecutive season.

Tendril's IDEO-Designed Home-Energy Monitoring Device Fails, Utilitarianism Wins
The home energy market is going to be more utilitarian than chic, if Tendril's recent decision to nix its IDEO-designed home energy dashboard is anything to go by.
The rise of the smart grid (or the digital electricity network) over the past few years has led to a burst of creativity from firms angling to capture a piece of the home-energy management market. Apparently, that market is going to be more utilitarian than chic, if Tendril's recent decision to nix its IDEO-designed home energy dashboard is anything to go by.
Tendril first unveiled its Vision display, an 8-inch-by-6-inch device that looks like it came straight from Apple headquarters, last year. The device was intended to anchor to household appliances and show visual cues for different energy events (i.e., peak pricing or low pricing periods).
But the sleek, easy-to-read display won't make it to market due to price constraints. In an interview with Earth2Tech, Tendril CEO Adrian Tuck explained that the majority of utilities won't underwrite the $200 display, and most consumers aren't willing to shell out for the device on top of their iPads, iPhones, and other gadgets. Instead, Tendril will sell a cheaper, low-end energy dashboard.
The moral of the story: Companies that offer energy dashboards for gadgets that consumers already own will probably win out. Because who wants to pay hundreds of dollars for another electronic screen, no matter how attractive it is?

From Smart Grid to Home Energy Management, the emphasis is on giving control to the electric utility. Here's the deal...Provide a simple display for showing the consumer real-time usage and allow them to alter their habits to conserve. If your kWH cost is .10 and your monthly budget for electricity is $150, you can only consume 1500 kWH per month. All of the systems currently available seem to miss this simple approach. Last thing...$200 before you add on the options!
I agree with the previous post, possibly even an Application to eliminate the hardware necessity?
"...most consumers aren't willing to shell out for the device on top of their iPads, iPhones, and other gadgets."
I think people are actually reluctant to have yet another gadget to attend to. The winner in this space will be a device that interfaces with the above gadgets.

MANATEE -- A Bradenton woman already facing charges she took more than $17,000 from her employer, is now also charged with voter fraud, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Annique Newton was arrested Monday and charged with submitting a false voter's registration application and casting a ballot as an unauthorized voter, according to an arrest report.
Newton was arrested in July and charged with scheming to defraud Cactus Sky Communications, a small Bradenton marketing firm, after detectives say she helped herself to more than $17,000.
Newton was convicted of embezzling more than $400,000 from her previous employer, making her a convicted felon. Her civil rights, including her right to vote, have not been restored.
On Nov. 6, 2012, detectives from the FDLE say Newton went to the Tuscany Lakes voting precinct in Ellenton, submitted a voter application and then a provisional ballot for the general election.
The Florida Department of State Division of Elections filed a complaint July 24 alleging Newton was unqualified to vote, according to the report.
FDLE detectives interviewed Newton at her residence in the 12100 block of Warwick Circle in Parrish, where she reportedly admitted to having submitted the application and ballot.
"Newton claimed that she knew at the time that she was a convicted felon but believed her rights were restored, specifically her right to vote, had been 'automatically restored' at the completion of her incarceration for the unrelated offense that had resulted in her felony conviction," the report states.
Newton was released from Manatee County jail on $1,500 bond Monday. Her next scheduled court appearance is Dec. 20.
In the unrelated scheming to defraud charges, Newton is scheduled to go on trial Jan. 6.

When you turn the ball over and you can't make shots, you don't win basketball games.
That was the case for Halifax County High School Monday night in a 60-50 loss to Heritage High School in Lynchburg.
Monday night's game marked the second game in a row in which the turnover bug bit the Comets, and did it on a night on which they had difficulty in scoring. The Comets shot a miserly 28 percent from the floor in last Friday night's loss to Person (N.C.) High School and didn't improve upon that a great deal against the Pioneers.
The turnovers hurt the most, though, as the Pioneers got a number of easy breakaway layups off of Comets miscues.
Adding to the Comets' struggles was a lack of defensive rebounding.
"We were our own worst enemy," remarked Comets Head Coach Larry Epperly after the loss that dropped the Comets' record to 1-2 on the season entering tonight's home game against Martinsville High School.
"It was definitely the most disappointing night we've had this year in terms of being able to execute and play the right way. I was disappointed with our carelessness with the ball, and just throwing it to them (Heritage). I was sitting there a couple of times wondering if we'd ever practiced. It didn't look like we were very organized."
The bulk of the Comets' scoring came from Keyshawn Johnson and Dakota Delaware, both of whom finished with 13 points, and from Trelanne Johnson, who chipped in 10 points. The trio accounted for 36 of the team's 50 points.
Many of the turnovers came in the second half, ruining what had been a decent first half for the Comets. Halifax County trailed 6-5 after a slow first quarter for both teams, and took the lead for the second time in the game on a basket by Keyshawn Johnson.
Halifax County fell behind 10-7 but rallied to regain the lead at 15-13 with three-point baskets from Keyshawn Johnson and Trelanne Johnson and a basket from James Burden.
The Comets led 20-16 with 1:40 left in the first half, but six unanswered points by the Pioneers in the final 1:12 of the half gave the Pioneers a 22-20 edge at halftime.
An 8-1 run by the Pioneers in the first one minute and five seconds of the second half gave them a nine-point edge. The Comets' Tavion Petty hit a three-point shot, his only field goal of the night, with 6:30 left in the third quarter to cut his team's deficit to six points.
A three-point shot and a layup in back-to-back possessions gave the Pioneers an 11-point edge at 35-24 with 5:35 left in the third quarter. That spelled the beginning of the end for the Comets.
Halifax County scored only one basket in the final three minutes of the third quarter, that one Dakota Delaware, as the Comets fell behind by 14 points and entered the fourth quarter trailing 43-31.
The Comets fell behind by 17 points before mounting a late flurry. Two baskets from Delaware and a three-point play from Trelanne Johnson allowed the Comets to cut their deficit to 12 points at 55-43 with 3:42 left in the game.
Unfortunately, the late flurry didn't stick. Heritage High School built its lead back to 15 points before the Comets outscored the Pioneers 7-0 in the final minute and a half to make the final 10-point margin.

According to figures provided by The Warren Group, publisher of Banker & Tradesman, there were 38 completed foreclosures in Somerville last year.
That compares to 56 completed foreclosures in 2010—a 32 percent drop.
Foreclosure petitions, which represent the beginning of the foreclosure process, were also down in Somerville. In 2011, 58 foreclosures were initiated, compared to 119 in 2010. That's a 51 percent drop.
These figures mirror foreclosure trends across the state. Completed foreclosures dropped by about 30 percent across Massachusetts in 2011 as compared to 2010. Similarly, foreclosure petitions dropped 47 percent.
In a written statement, Timothy M. Warren, Jr., CEO of The Warren Group, cautioned these numbers don't mean the housing market is out of the woods yet. "It's no secret that low numbers are indicative of lenders slowing foreclosure processes throughout much of the year," he said.
According to The Warren Group, December 2011 saw a 38 percent increase in foreclosure petitions across Massachusetts as compared to December of 2010. This indicates lenders might be picking up the pace on foreclosures.
How does Somerville compare?
Cambridge had 22 completed foreclosures in 2011 and 25 in 2010, a 12 percent drop. The city had 27 foreclosure petitions in 2011, down 54 percent from the 59 seen in 2010.
Arlington saw 9 foreclosures in 2011, down from 10 in 2010. There were 18 foreclosure petitions in 2011, down 61 percent from 2010, which saw 47 petitions.
Medford had 44 foreclosures in 2011, up 10 percent from the 40 seen in 2010. It had 92 foreclosure petitions in 2011, down 26 percent from the 126 seen in 2010.

Helped me buy home
John is a very professional realtor with a fun and friendly personality. He not only helped me find the perfect home for me and my son but he is very knowledgeable and even helped me find an insurance agent that gave me a great homeowners policy and helped me with the home inspection as well. He always answered my calls very quickly and if he didn't know the answer to something he was right on it to find out. I love my new home and was very pleased with the level of professionalism and hard work. Thank you John! Less ... More

Helped me buy home
John was very professional and knowledgeable. He was always in contact and had quick replies to all my questions. He fought very hard to make sure I got the best deal possible. If there was anything he was absolutely 100% sure on, he had very helpful contacts that he could turn to for advice. He definitely excelled at his job.
Highly likely to recommend
Showed me homes
John went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us bid on a home at auction and also to try to purchase a couple foreclosure homes. His connections to local experts and his negotiation skills were great assets to us. My wife and I are in the process building a house and plan to hire John to list our current residence. His pre-sale inspections and suggestions were eye-opening and very helpful.

What Are You Playing? January 26th, 2013
Posted on Saturday, January 26 @ 12:39:39 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
This weekend is all about orange juice, Tylenol, and copious amounts of "what is the outside world like?" Anthony's been the kind, caring mother we all know he's capable of being, but I can't stay away from the site. Isn't WAYP better late than never?
I'll manage to continue plugging away at two high-profile games coming in February though. Fire Emblem: Awakening and Dead Space 3 are all I need to waste the weekend on the couch, so shove it up your ass, flu. I'd be sitting inside all day anyway. Consequently you guys gotta try the medicine I'm taking. It makes you crazy.

MSP - Where to find Un-Salted Shaoxing Rice Wine
Hey guy/gals, I've heard there really is no substitue for chinese rice wine that is called for in chinese cooking so I was wondering if any of you can help me find some. I'm from the Frogtown area. Any and all input is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks.
Tough one. Last time I was at Shuang Hur on University Avenue to buy Shaoxing wine, there was a man there shopping for un-salted Shaoxing Wine. Now I wish I'd stuck around long enough to see if he found it. They had many brands, but I was looking for a version that was actually produced in Shaoxing, which I found. But it definitely had salt in it. I would call Shuang Hur and Dragon Star and ask if they have it. And if neither of those places has it, maybe United Noodles in Minneapolis.
Good luck!
United Noodles
920 E Lake St, Minneapolis, MN
re: The Dairy Queen
Or perhaps a liquor store that specializes. Or ask at Little Pepper, Teahouse etc what they are using. In NYC, the salted Shaoxing wine used to be sold in most any Chinatown food shop. But when the unsalted (and better) versions turned up about 5-6 years ago they had to be sold from liquor stores. About $10-$12 a bottle. Now the salted version has all but disappeared.
re: scoopG
Good idea, although I wonder which liquor store to start with. I just searched Surdyks' and Haskells' online stores and came up empty (though, I would definitely call rather than assume they don't have it just because some goof on the internet couldn't find it.)
I could be wrong, but I'd be astonished if they were selling anything that was $10-$12 per bottle at Shuang Hur. If I'd seen something like that, I would have bought it on the theory that products made with better ingredients cost more. I'm guessing what I bought was $4 a bottle, and that's about where they were all priced.
Little Pepper = Little Szechuan?
Little Szechuan - West End
5377 16th Street, St. Louis Park, MN 55416
re: The Dairy Queen
re: SmartCookie
Thanks alot for the replies. I went to the United Noodles website and the only Shao Xing/Hsing wine I could find was "cooking" wine which probably means it has salt in it. But I'll still go check it out just in case. I was thinking about checking out the liquor stores around the Frogtown neighborhood since they mostly are asian owned but...they mostly cater to those guys standing on the corner that always seem to be short on bus fare.
United Noodles
920 E Lake St, Minneapolis, MN
re: SmartCookie
re: The Dairy Queen
Oh right - I meant Little Szechuan! I'd ask them what they type they use and where they buy it from. Not sure of the liquor laws in MN but it NYC the salted stuff was suitable for food stores cause it was not potable. Once the unsalted good brew appeared it had to be sold in liquor stores.
Little Szechuan - West End
5377 16th Street, St. Louis Park, MN 55416
The place I buy mine is from a Asian grocery on Eat Street, i.e. Nicollet avenue.
I can't tell you the name of the grocery, but it is on the west side of the street on the northern end of the street. It shares a parking lot with Hudson map company. It is one of the groceries that has been there the longest and has an in house herbalist / pharmacist. The non salted version is cleverly hidden among the salted brands, usually on the bottom shelf.
re: Lilbug
Great tip, thank you! I'm thinking you mean Truong Thanh? http://www.flickr.com/photos/surlygrr...
2520 Nicollet Ave, between 25th St and 26th St
re: Lilbug
Hiep Thanh Oriental Grocery
2534 Nicollet Ave
Minneapolis, MN 55404-4248
(612) 870-0905
re: Lilbug
re: BigSal
re: BigSal
re: MilliePop
Did you try United Noodle?
I don't think it's on Lake, I think it's at:
2015 E 24th St, Minneapolis, MN 55404
It's particularly not easy to find. On the plus side, if you do go at lunch time you can go to their in-store Deli for one of the most interesting bowls of Ramen available in the Twin Cities. So even if they don't have the product you seek, at least you get pretty good Ramen.
I'd avoid the steam-table selections.
At least it is on their website. Your not going to find unsalted wine in a grocery. Unsalted wines in Minnesota are sold in liqueur stores.

By BERNIE HORNICK
What's not to like about the Chiefs season opener Saturday night: Brawler Dave Hanson signing autographs. Mascot Tom E. Hawk riling up the fans on a chilly fall night. Mark Richardson firmly at the controls.
Aside from a Wal-Mart greeter, Richardson has perhaps the most enviable job in the American economy. He's the Zamboni driver for hockey night in Johnstown.
"People wish they could drive a Zamboni," the city resident said while waiting his turn in the limelight before the puck dropped. "It's one of the highlights of the hockey game."
He said one of the rewards of the job is seeing the smiles on all the faces as his machine glides by.
The four-year Zamboni driver said there's really not much to it. It all comes down to one handle, labeled "DEFCON 1." Actually, it's labeled "conditioner."
That sets the whirlygig in motion, moving the whatchamacallit, which cleans the ice.
In reality, an auger scrapes up the snow and ice chips, moves them to a blade that pushes them onto the elevator that deposits them into the holding bin. All the while, hot water is sprayed to form the new surface.
The bin is dumped outside the War Memorial once Richardson is done with his joyride.
Richardson won't say what he's paid but, heck, most people would pay the team to sweep the ice for a game. He fell into the job by hanging around the arena when his son played hockey there.
"They needed somebody," the former construction worker said simply. Besides, hockey is his favorite sport.
Hockey also is the fave of hundreds and hundreds of fans who showed up for the game against the Cincinnati Cyclones.
Randy Maluchnik – a county commissioner in Carver County, Minn. – was among them.
The Johnstown native comes to town for at least one or two Chiefs games per season. He picked up three of Hanson's autographed books, "Slap Shot Original," for his county attorney, another commissioner and perhaps for himself.
"You're not a real Minnesota hockey player unless you love that movie," he said above some old-time rock 'n' roll on the public address system.
Hanson's books were going fast, with about 50 sold before the game started.
Maluchnik actually came to the area for the Penn State game, but it was too cold.
Besides, he said, "I'd rather be here for this."
His uncle, Cambria County Commissioner Bill Harris, attended the game with him.
Politics aside – Maluchnik is a Democrat in a Republican county, the reverse for Harris – they find common ground where the Chiefs are concerned. They think they are the only uncle/nephew commissioner combo in the country.
Gladys Hanley of Westmont, her three young children in tow, thinks this will be a successful year for the skaters.
"The Chiefs looked pretty good during camp," she said.
"They'll pull it together."
She attends every home game and a lot of the away games.
"I sort of know the players," Hanley said. "I talk to them, mostly after the game."
Gerard Tomechak of Johns-town treated his three grandsons – Michael Miller, Alec Miller and Tyler Tomechak – to the game.
He agreed about the prospects for the season ahead.
"I think they got some new players and they'll do very well within this organization," Tomechak said. He attended the home opener last year and in 2007.
Jessica Garcia of Southmont was busy selling at the souvenir stand.
She said she is the girlfriend of team General Manager Bill Bredin. "And he put me to work!" she said, expressing fake exasperation.
Garcia – originally from Texas – said, "The hats are pretty popular, and the T-shirts." The hats go for $20, the tees are $18.
Hoodies, more kids stuff and other merchandise still is on the way, she said.
And as with many sporting events, the fun and quirky stuff is what's yelled out by nameless fans in the crowd, or overheard passing by someone elbow to elbow. Such as:
• As Hanson stepped up to drop the ceremonial first puck and a Cyclone dipped his hockey stick, one boisterous fan yelled loud enough to be heard arena-wide, "Hit 'em, Dave!"
• When the first period was winding down with only a handful of hard checks, one fan said she came for the hockey fights. "I need to see blood," she said immodestly.
• And the teen crowd was active as ever. "These fries are banging. They're pretty good," one girl said. "Yeah," her girlfriend replied, "Jimmy said for $3, they better be."

Wow! This needs to come with a warning: Highly Addictive! This was a beautiful combination of colors and flavors. And, what's great about this is it's low fat and good for you too. No matter what assortment of fresh fruit you use it's bound to be good so use your favorites and use the recipe as a guide. I used a combination of apples, strawberries, peaches, and kiwi. I left out the sugar as the fruit has enough of that on it's own. For the preserves, I chose seedless raspberry. For the cinnamon chips I used reduced fat tortillas and cut them with a pizza cutter which made things a lot easier. I sprayed them with butter flavored Pam and sprinkled them with the cinnamon sugar. I baked them at 350 for 8 minutes flipped them and baked them for another 7 minutes. They were crispy, sweet and delicious - next time I would double the amount because they went fast. This got a lot of compliments not only for taste, but for creativity. I'll definitely make this again - great recipe!
EVERYONE (meaning all ten of us) LOVED this. The fruit was amazing together...I added some, but I know it would have been good all on its own according to the recipe. The tortilla chips were really good and kept well in the refrigerator. We were able to eat this for dessert two nights in a row because it made so much. My son (6) and niece (5) helped make the tortilla chips; it was a great experience for them and myself...but very messy. haha. Would recommend to anyone looking for a healthier desert or snack for family, friends, or party.
made with my family's fav fruit picks. pineapple/apple/strawberrys n blueberrys. left out all sugars n perserves. the chips used were wheat/tofu tortillas.. everyone loved them n never knew they were healthy. cinnamon mixture was only with 1 tblsp of raw sugar. left overs if any used on oatmeal/pancakes.

Property taxes have become a hot topic this year. People in the area are upset about their taxes and how they are effecting their pocketbook and their home values.
Don Clavin, Town of Hempstead's receiver of taxes, is holding a series of property taxpayer rights forums at libraries across the town. These forums explain our property taxes, exemptions, assessments and how to challenge your assessment.
I attended the one at the other day and want to share some valuable information for those who were not able to attend.
The biggest topic was challenging your assessment, how to do it, and what does it mean.
If you feel your home is over-assessed compared to other homes with similar characteristics in your neighborhood, you should challenge your assessment. In early January, you should have received a letter with your assessed value — if not, you can view it online at mynassauproperty.com, or you can call the assessor's office at 516-571-1500. This number is not your home's current assessed value, it is the assessed value for the 2013-2014 school year, and the 2014 general tax year.
Grievances can be filed between Jan. 1 and March 3. Your taxes CANNOT go up because of a grievance, they can only go down or stay the same.
How do you know if your home is over-assessed? You need to go to mynassauproperty.com and see what your house is assessed for as well as what similar homes in the neighborhood are assessed for. There are other positive and negative factors that come into play as well. For example, if you are on the water, your assessment will be higher than a similar house that is not on the water. If you are on a busy street or near commercial property your assessment should be lower than similar homes in better areas. When you submit your challenge, include photos to back up your grievance.
You can file online or in person. Mr. Clavin recommended doing it in person. You have to hand in your grievance before March 3 to the Nassau County Department of Assessment at 240 Old Country Road in Mineola.
If you need help in finding comparable values in the area to support your grievance, contact me and I will help you to locate comparable sold listings in the area. Or you can search to see sold listings at my website The Five Towns Real Estate Guide.
One thing to remember: A lower assessment does not necessarily mean lower property taxes. A certain amount of money is needed for the budget each year. If the budget is not covered, the tax formula will be raised to cover the budgets as needed.
Here are some other related articles about our Property Taxes:

Police safety, SWAT topics of discussion at Derry council meeting after Arkell slaying
Councilors were considering a request by the Derry Police Department to accept a grant through the U.S. Department of Justice to buy law enforcement items.
They also want to buy special gun-mount flashlights that cost $105 each and would be provided to 56 members of the department. In addition, 56 corresponding holsters at $115 each would also be required, said Chief Edward Garone, who made the presentation to councilors.
After the presentation, Garone was questioned during a public hearing by resident Mark Flattes about the need to buy the special flashlights. Flattes said he agreed the department needed all of the other items on the list, but questioned whether the flashlights were necessary.
Flattes said each officer already carried a weapon and a handheld taser. He also questioned the size of the flashlights.
Garone said the flashlights are about one and half inches long, with a diameter just over an inch. He said they are fitted on the end of weapons and are not a laser sight but used as an illumination device.An officer would use the flashlight when entering a darkened house with someone inside who could be armed."The police officer doesn't know if he's armed; the police officer will have his weapon out at this point," Garone said.
"You talked about it being SWAT or military," Garone said to Flattes. "Unfortunately, as we've all learned in New Hampshire and here in Rockingham County recently, sometimes it is SWAT. Sometimes it is a military type of thing. Sometimes an officer is trying to protect a citizen or sometimes he's trying to protect himself."
"I understand that and appreciate the job that they do and want them to have the best equipment," Flattes said.
After the public hearing, councilors discussed the grant proposal, which was greeted with overwhelming approval.

If you need an extra incentive not to drink and drive on Saturday night, Riverdale Park police will be manning a sobriety checkpoint somewhere within city limits.
The checkpoint is part of a multi-jurisdictional effort taking place throughout Prince George's County to place a focus on sober driving, according to Riverdale Park police Lt. Andrew Powell.
What should drivers expect when they pass through a sobriety checkpoint?
According to Maryland law, drivers are required to stop at sobriety checkpoints, but they do not have to roll down their windows or engage with officers, said Powell. However not engaging is not insurance you won't be subjected to a field sobriety test if officers think you may be under the influence.
If alcohol or drug use is suspected?
"We will conduct a field sobriety test and if you are over the limit, you will be arrested," said Powell.
In the state of Maryland, a person is considered driving under the influence if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08 or higher. A driver is considered impaired if they have a BAC of .07.

There will be a public input meeting regarding the proposed Malvern-Willistown Greenway Wednesday night at Sugartown Elementary School.
The greenway would "link by trails numerous open spaces, parks, schools, historic sites, municipal facilities, and the Malvern Business District," according to a flyer on Willistown Township's website (PDF):
The trail system will permit neighborhoods to be connected to this system and allow users to walk or bicycle (in portions) to these facilities rather than drive. The trail network proposes to use existing rights-of-way, trails, sidewalks, and easements and to establish new ones needed to create a continuous system. Implementation will take place over time, perhaps several years, and in phases.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and is open to the public. Comments can also be submitted in advance by email.
For more information on the meeting, view the flyer attached to this article as a PDF.
For more information on the Greenway proposal, read Appendix A of Malvern Borough's comprehensive plan, or view the Parks and Recreation Map in Willistown's Comprehensive plan.

That's just a scratch on the surface of the pain, suffering, anguish, loss, betrayl, and every other word associated with repulse, I've endured. Now, in the waning years of my life, I am going to try over again.....is there a man who would ever want a diseased woman who has an incurable disease, plus who was given HVP by her husband? No one would step forward, so I feel what little time I have left, I will never feel the loving arms of a man who would love me, would hold me, kiss me, and never think of infidelity. Am I being realistic?
No, you are not being realistic. There are many wonderful men out there. Even men with the same illnesses you have who would love a woman like you. A woman who won't make them feel ashamed of themselves, and will understand them because they are going through the same exact thing.
You have been in an abusive relationship for a very long time. You must start your detoxification process...............this abuser has poisoned your mind and your heart. He has destroyed your self-esteem, and completely degraded you to the point where you think there is no other man out there for you.
Remember there is no expiration date on anyone...........and your life was not all about this abuser. Your life has a greater meaning and you have many more things to do and many more moments to live. You must continue to share your experiences and let others learn from you................you WILL find a caring, understanding, and respectful man. Don't set your hopes up for a perfect man, there is no such thing as a perfect human being...........man nor woman.
You can meet people online, or at social clubs or events. You just have to think positively, and WANT to do these things.
The mind is a powerful weapon. Don't give the power of your mind to anyone nor let anyone cloud and fill your mind with darkness. Don't let anyone use your best weapon against you. It is time to live YOUR life and not someone else's. Stay surrounded by people who care, respect, and understand you. You are not only a Wife, you are an INDIVIDUAL human being. You seem to have lost your individuality and identity somewhere along the way.
There are many of us who only want the best for you. Good night and see you later.
Again, my appreciation for your thoughts, and how you clearly responded to my sadness. I would look forward to hearing from you later, and wishing you also a very good night!
Find discussions just like this but in your specific interests and learn what life is supposed to be. Find people who will support and encourage you but stay away from those still whining about their life and want to drag you down to their depths of depression. Stay positive and associate with positive people and you will stop using language like "diseased woman" and "waning years".
No, I do not have or know anyone with MS (I have my own dramas) but the cast of characters in most support groups online and in real life are the same. Just get out there and LIVE and you can know joys you missed before.
As you heal (a path I hope you are on), learn to feel better about yourself, and rediscover things you enjoy in life (I'm imagining you are struggling with these things), you will find happiness. Along these lines, please remember, you are more than the pain and suffering you have endured (and continue to)-- you have goodness to offer yourself and others. So as you find happiness, you will also find people who will want to be a part of your life in a healthy way; and that a good man would be blessed (and feel honored) to have you in his life.
How are you feeling? Are you two officially divorced?
I must tell you, this man doesn't have a conscience. I mean, the things that he has done to you............this will all come back to him one day. What goes around comes around, and he is certainly no exception. And he's got another thing coming if he honestly thinks he will never suffer from any serious illness his entire life. One day, he will remember everything he did to you. And you are right, he has to live with himself and you don't, thank goodness for that. You run from him as far as you can. Remember, out of sight out of mind.
You did not fail in your marriage, he was the failure You did everything you could, everything else is out of your hands. The only life you can change for the better is your own.
I feel sorry for his current woman, she will see who he truly is eventually. Sadly, now it's her turn to suffer. And now it's time for you to start a new, fulfilling, and meaningful chapter in your life, a chapter all about Sydny and her fresh new life........... discovering who she is and what her new goals are.
You are not a victim anymore. You must step out of that mentality he has put you in. You are a strong and beautiful woman...............who is capable of doing so much better and so much more with her life. A woman who has a wonderful heart and is capable of loving and giving so much.
I look forward to hearing from you again as well. It was a pleasure reading your response. Nighty night..........see you later and take good care of yourself .
It has been a whirlwind of positivity in the last week reading your wonderfully helpful notes. There was a time when I didn't know I had any friends, and now, out of the blue, I have folks who not only understand more of what has happened to me than I have ever understood of myself!
Thank you very much for sharing your expertise, and reminding me that I can function for myself if released from this psychological bondage. That will happen at the beginning of August, and I am hoping my attorney will ask for a Restraining Order for him to discontinue the phone tapping and keylogging of my computers. Yes, this is his way of control also, so I never have any privacy.
I am looking forward to getting my motorhome, and driving to see the beauty of this land. Your letters I will keep, and when I feel lonely or sad, I should sit right down and read them all. You've told it straight from the heart, and your words are very strong.
My deep appreciation is extended to you, and please know how grateful I am to have you take the time to express your thoughts and feelings to me. I promise to heed your words!
Kind Regards,

Some law enforcement officials use the term cyber stalking.
Both terms focus on a growing social media threat: stealing someone's identity, usually a woman's, and then posing as the person online to stalk and threaten them. WJLA TV says a Prince George's County ex-husband posed as his former wife online to solicit sex and encourage someone to rape her, sending strangers to her door.
And these actions aren't a crime.
Which is why Prince George's County prosecutors and sexual assault advocates were at the Maryland State House Thursday, urging delegates to follow the Senate's lead and pass a law making what they call rape by proxy a felony, punishable by up to 20 years behind bars.
Michael Johnson was sentenced in July to 115 years in prison after prosecutors say he posed as his ex-wife on the Internet to solicit sex. Angell Williams and her children lived in fear as hundreds of men showed up at their home over a 45-day period in 2012.
The men were sent to her home by fake online profiles created by Johnson, claiming to be his ex-wife, even posting pictures of Williams and the children with their address, one titled "rape me and my children."
Assistant State's Attorney Christina Ropella prosecuted Michael Johnson on several misdemeanors for Prince George's County.
"They can hide behind a keyboard, they feel more anonymous, they feel braver than someone would have to work up the courage to go commit the offense, but it's absolutely just as devastating and dangerous to the victims of these crimes. It can destroy their lives."
