Meatballs in Dill Cream Sauce Recipe
My guests really like this recipe and want to know why it's so different from other meatball dishes they've had. I tell them it's the spices I use. I usually serve this as a main dish for lunch. I created this recipe myself "from scratch".
- 8 ounces ground beef
- 8 ounces lean ground pork
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1-1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dill weed
- 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
- Cooked buttered wide egg noodles, optional
- In a bowl, combine the beef, pork, onion, seasonings, crumbs and water. Shape into 1-1/4-in. balls and place on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°; drain.
- Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a large skillet. Blend in flour until smooth. Add broth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add dill and meatballs. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Stir in cream. Cook and stir for 15 minutes or until thickened. Serve with noodles if desired or as an appetizer. Yield: 4 main-dish servings.

I made this for my family and was surprised cause even my PICKY son ate 2 servings! I doubled the recipe, and used only beef since I have beef men in my house, used an egg in place of the water, I did not have the Marjoram so I used basil and upped the flour to 3/4 cup. The sauce was not thick enough for my liking, without it. I served it on mini Penne pasta. I definitely will make this again. But I will have to try the Marjoram soon!!

DID votes against meters
Date: August 13, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
"Now is not the time" is the message the board of the Downtown Improvement District (DID) wants the City Commission to hear.
With commissioners set to decide Aug. 17 whether to install parking meters downtown, they wanted input from the DID before they cast their votes.
DID board members, in turn, wanted to hear from its constituents, downtown property owners and merchants in their district, before they rendered their decision.
"At the time this was first discussed, growth was projected to expand," said Allison Bishop, owner of Living Walls. "This may be a valid program one day for Sarasota, but it's not valid now."
After merchants voiced strong opposition to paid parking, the DID board unanimously approved a recommendation that calls for a delay on parking meters.
And it laid out four steps the city would have to take before it would consider supporting paid parking:
• Completion of the Palm Avenue parking garage.
• Completion of the wayfinding system phases that include signs directing drivers to public parking lots.
• Implementation of a revenue-sharing plan that reinvests into downtown the money from parking meters.
• Creation of an educational campaign to instruct the community on the benefits of parking meters.
Last year, when the city began a series of public meetings to look for community suggestions for the coming paid-parking program, the city considered parking meters a done deal. It was only looking for input on how to implement the program, which called for about 700 spaces on Main Street and a few side streets to become paid-parking spaces.
But implementation may no longer be so certain. Within the past three months, at least two city commissioners, Vice Mayor Kelly Kirschner and Commissioner Terry Turner, have said they don't believe now is the time to start the program. They think economic conditions, coupled with paid parking, might hurt businesses even more.
The merchants at this week's DID meeting expressed the same view.
Said Wendy Getchell, owner of Lotus: "This could be the final nail the coffin for many merchants. More stores may close, and then there will be plenty of parking."

The Ward County Library will be moving to the ground floor of the new county office building now under construction in Minot.
That's the news members of the Ward County Library Board got from county commissioner Shelly Weppler today.
She told the group that it's unclear exactly when the existing County Library will have to be vacated, but she said it's possible it could stay open until the new building is ready to move into.
One question that remains unanswered is where the library's bookmobile will be stored - it's currently kept in a garage in the county library building but if the building is torn down, a new location will have to be found.

Naomi Gerstel's research focuses on work and families, with particular attention to gender gaps in paid and unpaid caregiving. She explores the effects of employment on the care adult daughters' and sons' give to their parents, the effects of
marriage on women's and men's ties to their parents, siblings, and the broader community, the ways race, gender and class jointly shape work and family ties, how social class shapes fathering as well as the enforcement and utilization of the Family and Medical Leave Act. As a Family Research Scholar, Dr. Gerstel and Dr. Dan Clawson (FRS 03-04 and Professor of Sociology) developed proposals to study the ways work hours are shaped by organizations, occupations, unions and families. The National Science Foundation funded two of their proposals, NAEMT funded a third, and the Sloan Foundation funded a fourth. Dr. Gerstel has also been a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation and her research has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the National Academy of Science.

GET THE LOOK: The beehive's back and better than before. Instead of stiff, cotton-candy hair, Posh takes the concept to new heights with soft, touchable teasing. "The height and volume of today's styles come from the fine art of back-combing," says celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson of the Ted Gibson Salon in N.Y.C.
INSIDER TRICK: Avoid the bird's nest look by camouflaging teasing. Clip away hair at the hairline. Gently brush the roots of small sections of hair backwards, advises Gibson. Lightly brush the clipped-away section over the top, secure in a bun, and mist with hairspray.

Have you seen Folwell since it reopened? The historic features are still there, but it's now ready for the 21st century. If you can't see it in person enjoy these photos instead.
Have you seen Folwell since it reopened? The historic features are still there, but it's now ready for the 21st century. If you can't see it in person enjoy these photos instead.
It was a beautiful sunny day! Regents Chair Linda Cohen, President Eric Kaler, and Dean Jim Parente cut the ribbon. Students, staff and faculty played games on the lawn. Cool demonstrations were conducted indoors. Welcome back, Folwell!
The move into Folwell began this week. Most of the furniture is in place, and the good people of NTS are making the final connections for phones and computers. The space is really enlivened by the bright furnishings--upholstery in crayon bright greens and blues and oranges. The demountable walls are really nice, and the offices have sliding doors reminiscent of being in a Japanese restaurant. Students will love their new spaces.
With Folwell on schedule to be completed by August 1, the building is abuzz with electricians, elevator guys, plasterers and painters, finishers, carpenters, and more. Its bones have been covered back over, and its best new features--bathrooms, elevators, classrooms, air conditioning--are emerging.
Click through to Flickr for individual captions (and better resolution) for each image.
For witty and descriptive captions view these photos on Facebook (search Folwell Hall) or click through to Flickr.
As of today, everyone is moved out of Folwell! Abatement has begun on the fourth floor. Here are a few more pics from the last days of the move out.
Here's what's left of the Spanish & Portuguese office.
As the building is emptied, extra steps are taken to protect the historic woodwork and flooring. This is the entrance to the GSD library.
This room was the GSD library. It looks kind of different when it's empty!
Here's one of the hard-working movers on the ground floor.
The move has begun! Large furniture is being moved off the 4th floor. Some windows along the southeast side are being removed so furniture can be moved out via forklift. Instead of students, the hallways are now full of boxes.
There are still lots of great finds outside the GSD library. Treasure troves of old maps, posters and books can be found in the hallways throughout the building.
The Spanish and Portuguese department is in the thick of packing. They move out next week.
Workers from McGough are readying these windows on the SE side of the building. Lots of Folwell furnishings will be moved out through these windows, placed in a big bin, and lowered by forklift.
This is the 3rd floor classroom where the furnishings will be loaded onto the forklift. They will add a ramp to this platform to speed up the emptying of the building.
That's a number reported in the New York Times on May 2. According to a new Census Bureau report, of the nation's 281 million people who are 5 or older, 55.4 million speak a language other than English at home. Of those, 34.5 million speak Spanish; 2.5 million speak Chinese; more than a million each speak Tagalog, French, Korean and German.
Some offices in Folwell have already begun moving out of the building. The move will begin in earnest after World Languages Day is over, on Wednesday, May 19. Stop by to watch the clever forklift-rolloff container-ramp apparatus that will help move out furniture via a third-floor window.
If you are wondering where all of the Folwell offices will be located for the remodeling year, download relocation details (PDF).

The Indiana Pacers, at least this team as currently comprised, is in uncharted territory as they take on the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals.
As much as I don't think the Pacers are ready for this next step, when you're one game away from the Finals, you're ready. As Frank Vogel said following Game 6, the Pacers will have to execute and play a near-perfect game. They haven't come close to that level of play so far in the series, but if they are on point they will have a chance to win.
David West is reportedly feeling better than he did in Game 6 when he played while trying not to hurl on the court, so that should give the Pacers a boost. The obvious numbers to watch are the Pacers rebounding advantage and points in the pain. On the negative side, they have to minimize the turnovers and Heat transition points. Those have been telling numbers all series so I don't expect it to change tonight.
What other concerns or expectations do you have for the Pacers in Game 7. GAME 7!

The owner of the place was a great guy, and even invited us to sit down with him and his wife to have some food that his wife cooked (which was delicious!). I was disappointed though that they advertise that facebook is available there, when the are aware that it is not (we asked and were told that facebook just isn't available in China, yet they didn't take down their sign. The only other criticism I have for this place is that our room was FREEZING. Great place other than that though

FINDING IT WAS A CHALLENGE. The directions are very poor. There are multiple bus stations, traffic circles, agricultural banks and other things referenced in their directions on hostel world. Make sure you find the hostel on a map prior to attempting to find it. Hostel itself was decent, but very quiet (there was almost no one ever hanging out in the common room). THe guy working there was very helpful, but the girl was not as helpful (I think the language barrier may have been part of why).

Excellent place to stay at !!! Very good value for money. Looks like more hotel/motel than hostel. A very good choice! It is clean and quiet. All you need is provided. They even pick you up at the bus station for free! A bit away from the center but still walking distance ;). Considering the price you pay, it is one of the best place to stay at in Yangshuo!!! I will stay at this place if I go back to Yuangshuo for sure. Try this place, you can't be disappointed !!!

The Michigan Wolverines and Minnesota Golden Gophers learned lessons last week, as each of them lost to Big Ten Conference opponents.
On Thursday, they clash in Minneapolis, Minn., knowing another lesson -- the Big Ten schedule is flat-out tough.
The No. 4 Wolverines will face a tall task of beating a top-10 opponent away from Ann Arbor. John Beilein's Michigan teams are 1-16 against ranked opponents on the road, and the majority of those games came in the conference. Last week's loss to Ohio State gave the 16-1 Wolverines their first loss of the year, and while it affirmed that they're talented, they can't get off to slow starts.
The Buckeyes jumped out by as many as 21 points before Michigan nearly rallied only to fall 56-53.
Meanwhile, Minnesota fell to 15-2 with an 88-81 loss to No. 5 Indiana last week.
The No. 9 team in the nation will use its rebounding to get second opportunities at the rim, but leading scorer Andre Hollins must be able to compete with All-American candidate Trey Burke. Hollins averages 14.4 points and 3.6 assists per game.
Michigan is the 12th-best three-point shooting team in the nation at 40.4 percent. The Gophers must run Burke (18 points, seven assists per game), Nik Stauskas (50.5 percent from three-point range) and Glenn Robinson III (12.3 points per game) off the three-point stripe if they want to hold down their home court.

School Superintendent Contract
Original post made by Concerned Citizen on Jan 13, 2009
on Jan 13, 2009 at 3:00 pm
The superintendent's contract includes district funding to help him pay for his Pleasanton home. Since he earns over $200,000 + benefits and perks, shouldn't he be able to make mortgage payments from his salary without money fron the school district? Why are we making cuts to students and staff and he gets to sleep in his home he couldn't afford to buy in the first place. Maybe he should have bought in a different neighborhood that he could afford.
Who owns the house when he leaves the district? The school district? Does the school district get a portion of the selling price? Should taxpayers really be buying a personal residence for a school district employee? This is outrageous!!

To "concerned citizen" in Danbury Park, where did you get your information about his house being paid for? Is this heresay or is there documentation? I know awhile back there was a link here (I didn't go to it at the time, wish I had) that was supposed to show his contract. I was interested then but now with the parcel tax issue, I am interested. I was hoping someone could post it again. And if what you say is true, I agree that it is outrageous. Please provide your source if you have one. Thanks.

For some reason the Superintendents salary is the only one not posted online.
This information is two years out of date and the web link no longer works.
Someone needs to request this information under the public information act.
Posted by Tom, a resident of the Downtown neighborhood, on Feb 19, 2008 at 10:18 am
The board packet with this years salary and contract for the superindentent is at Web Link It is item 15.
In addition to the salary of $227,000 per year he receives some pretty good benefits:
10 holidays per year (more if another state holiday occurs on a weekend)
24 days of vacation per year (5 weeks)
$5,000 per year for life insurance
$10,000 per year into a tax sheltered annuity
$1,000 per month as a transportation allowance for use of his personal vehicle
Once retired receives taxpayer paid medical, dental and vision insurance for himself and his spouse until he reaches 65.
Car allowance, that is $1,000 per month. Items like expense accounts, travel, cell phones would not be part of a contract so the only way to find these is to look at the budget for the superintendent's department. You should also be able to get a detailed report of those types of expenses if you contacted the district. That is all public information and through the public information act the district has to give this to anybody who asks.
The superintendent budgets $13,000 for travel, $1660 for meals, $7000 for office supplies. For superintendent communications, which includes the public information officer, travel, office supplies and such is $175,150.
If you look at the complete charges for travel and conferences for the whole district there is about $510,000 for 2007.

CATEGORIES Awards, Cinematical Indie, Awards, CinematicalUnlike the film critics in American cities, who this week have been naming their year-end award winners, the folks across the pond are waiting until February 8 to reveal their favorites. But they have at least announced the nominees for their awards, many of which distinguish the importance of British filmmaking. See, the London Film Critics' Circle gives two separate awards each for the categories of best film, best director, actor and actress, so that one award is given to the best British film, director, actor and actress. Sometimes this leads to an overlap, as in the case of last year, when both Helen Mirren and Judi Dench were nominated for best actress and best British actress and The Queen was nominated for best film and best British film.
This year's nominees don't appear to have that overlap problem (see the full list here), which could very well mean the Circle has changed its rules since last year. Either that or there really is no clear enough front-runner this year in any of those categories. Or maybe the Circle just felt there were too many non-British films, directors and performers worthy of notice and didn't need to exclude any of them just to spotlight their own movies more than necessary. The one interesting thing is that while Daniel Day Lewis could be considered a British actor, he is only nominated in the more general Best Actor category. Also, it is interesting that Paul Greengrass is nominated as best British director for The Bourne Ultimatum, a movie nominated only in the more general Best Film category.
The best thing about having the British-only categories is the recognition the LFCC gives to terrific films like Control and This is England, which aren't on the radar enough in America to be given notice here. Also, the British-only directing category allows for the general best director nominees to include other foreign (non-American) directors like Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 weeks, 2 days) and Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others).

March is Women's History Month, and readers can mark the occasion by learning about two of America's most adventurous women. In 1889 after Jules Verne's novel Around the World in Eighty Days became popular, two publications sent female reporters on their own race around the world to beat the fictional record. In Eighty Days, Matthew Goodman recounts the frenzied journeys of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland and offers a fascinating look at life during the late 19th century. On a personal level, Bly and Bisland were a study in contrasts, but both were pioneering journalists who challenged gender stereotypes in the Victorian era.

text: content Higher vitamin D levels linked to lower hypertension risk Tuesday, March 12, 2013. The results of a meta-analysis that appeared this month in the European Journal of Epidemiology reveal an association between higher vitamin D levels and a lower risk of developing high blood pressure. S. K. Kunutsor of the University of Cambridge and colleagues selected eight articles describing eleven studies for their analysis. Seven studies reported vitamin D status as serum or plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and four reported vitamin D intake from diet. Study participants were followed for periods ranging from 1.3 to 14 years. Out of a total of 283,537 subjects, 55,816 cases of hypertension occurred over follow-up. Having a 25-hydroxyvitamin D level among the top one-third of participants was associated with a 30% lower risk of hypertension in comparison with the risk experienced by those whose levels were among the lowest third. A pooled analysis of five studies revealed that each 10 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) increase in 25-hydroxyvitamin D was associated with a 12% reduction in the risk of future hypertension. No significant effect for vitamin D was observed in studies that assessed vitamin D status using intake from dietary sources. Due to the fact that sun exposure can be a major source of vitamin D, the authors remark that dietary intake may not be an accurate indicator of an individual's vitamin D status. Possible mechanisms cited by the authors to explain the effects of reduced vitamin D levels on blood pressure include activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and increased insulin resistance, as well as adverse effects in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells. "This is the largest meta-analysis of prospective associations ever conducted to date which involves more incident hypertension cases than ever before and provides precise estimates of the magnitude of the association of hypertension risk with vitamin D levels," the authors write. "Studies are needed to determine whether this represents a causal association and also to determine whether vitamin D supplementation or therapy may be beneficial in the prevention or the treatment of hypertension," they conclude. Reduced antioxidant levels in PAD involved in increased lower extremity blood pressure during exercise An article published on September 24, 2012 in the Journal of Physiology reveals a protective role for antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, against the rise in blood pressure that occurs in the legs of individuals with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) during exercise. Peripheral artery disease is characterized by poor blood flow and pain in the lower extremities due to the presence of plaque (atherosclerosis). Lawrence Sinoway and his colleagues at Penn State Hershey Heart and Vascular Institute compared the effects of exercise in subjects with and without PAD. They found an increase in blood pressure in the legs of PAD patients compared to those without the disease. Preadministration of high dose intravenous ascorbic acid reduced this effect in PAD patients by 50 percent. In another experiment in which subjects with and without PAD had their leg muscles electrically stimulated, increases in blood pressure were greater in those with PAD, indicating that the response came directly from the muscle, rather than from the brain. "Past studies have shown that having low antioxidant levels and increased reactive oxygen species -- chemical products that bind to body cells and cause damage -- is related to more severe PAD," commented lead author Matthew Muller, who is postdoctoral fellow in Dr Sinoway's lab. "This study shows that blood pressure increases more with exercise in more severe PAD cases. By infusing the antioxidant vitamin C into the blood, we were able to lessen the increase in blood pressure during exercise." "This indicates that during normal, everyday activities such as walking, an impaired antioxidant system -- as well as other factors -- plays a role in the increased blood pressure response to exercise," he added. "Therefore, supplementing the diet with antioxidants may help these patients, but more studies are needed to confirm this concept."

Bioactive Milk Peptides, 30 capsules Item #01512 Bioactive Milk Peptides (Lactium®) are a cutting-edge nutrient complex consisting of patented bioactive peptides found naturally in milk. Used widely in Europe to promote sustained and restful sleep patterns, published studies reveal that these bioactive milk peptides also promote relaxation, help with stress, and support daytime cognition. A group of 63 women reporting a variety of sleep-related difficulties experienced as much as 65.6% improvement in their symptoms with just 150 mg per day of these bioactive milk peptides. In another study, the same 150 mg dose induced substantial improvements across 27 markers of sleep quality and stress response in 165 healthy adults. And in a third study, a group of healthy men and women taking 150 mg per day of these bioactive milk peptides for one month experienced a 50% improvement in sleep quality after two weeks and needed 30% less time to fall asleep after 4 weeks.

Politics and religion are two topics that tend to degenerate into a violation of one of the three simple rules above.
The mods and the site admin reserve the right to "lock" or "delete" any discussion that in our opinion, is "heading in the wrong direction."
MOST of all, be respectful of your fellow Cubber's opinions. Don't expect to change someones belief system from a simple forum on the internet.
My opinion too
Applies to Canada too.....
Some wisdom here!
This is one of the better e-mails I have received in a long time! I hope
this makes its way around the USA several times over!!!!!
So Be It!
So if the US government determines that it is
against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money,
then, so be it.
And if that same government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not
to be used in or on a government installation, then,
so be it.
And since they already have prohibited any prayer in the schools,
on which they deem their authority,
then so be it.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to think
that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.
I would like to think that those people have the
American Publics' best interests at heart.
Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God
and cannot Post His Commandments in Government buildings,
I don't believe the Government and it's employees should participate in
the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government
is eliminating from many facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving &
After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday,
Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays.
After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry
about getting home for the "Christmas Break."
After all ~ it's just another day.
I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all
government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday &
It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other
of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct".
In fact....
I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside
for worshipping God...) because, after all,
our government says that it should be just another day....
What do you all think????
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop
giving in to the minority opinions and begin, once again, to represent the
'majority' of ALL of the American people.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government

Yes, it pretty much applies to Canada. I believe that we all have the freedom to worship as we please which means that Hindu's Buddists, Muslim's, and all the other sects/religions out there have just as much right to practice their faith as they wish.
However And this is a big one
Canada was founded as a Christian Nation by both the French Roman Catholics and the English Anglicans (both by the way are sub units of the original Catholic Church. I say this about catholicism since I am a Lutheran and very much a Catholic, just not Roman or Anglican.)
Since both our countries were founded as Christian countries, then as we welcome immigrants, though they need not convert to Christianity, they must accept the fact that they are no longer in the country they came from and their religion, although they are free to practice as they choose, is not the religion of our countries.
Also, by becoming Canadian or US citizens, it does not give them the right to force their beliefs on other Canadians or Americans, nor does it give them the right to force removal of Christian doctrine which forms the basis of our Constitutions because they are not Christian.
I also say this as a son of an immigrant - whom I am very proud of and I am proud to be first generation. Immigrants contribute mightily to the growth and deveolpement of both of our countries.
My father always said to us when we were young and asked how come he would not teach us German, his reply was "I am in Canada now and I do as Canadians do". Good intention, bad implementation. Most Canadians do speak at least 2 languages. English and their Mother tongue which may or may not be French.
Seems that this type of Political Correctness has not occured much until the late 70's and early 80's where these radicals have decided that the minorities must rule even though democracy says the majority rules. The unfortunate thing is, is that we let them by allowing our elected officials to become unaccountable. I think recall is a good thing and more politicians should think on that. Maybe then they will re-assess their situation and realize that their constituents make the decisions and they just deliver them to Congress or the House of Commons.....
I have received this email a few times and I agree with it completely. It is a shame that all the "bleeding heart liberals in this country have made Political Correctness a religion unto itself and have begun forcing it on the rest of the nation." I have said this many times - when Political Correctness and following the Party Line become dominant in a democracy, we no longer have a democracy but a totalitarian regime.
I sure wish our former Prime Minister Mr. Jean Chretien had understood this, as he has taken this country to the brink of Democratic Totalitarianism on more than one occassion and most definitely during his term of office. It was too bad most of the sheep did not understand this.
Ooooh boy. Methinks I am on my soapbox again. Time to get offn that pony.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
The bad thing I see in this is it would penalize the government, bank employees, etc. Many of whom are our neighbors, but the politcians, Supreme court judges, etc. which work less than half the time anyway would probably still take them off, claiming it was an established precident.

We live in a GREAT country where those folks, listed above, have the RIGHT to decent and protest.

This country was started for FREEDOM
It wasn't the freedom to tell others what to do or belive
It was the freedom from having others telling us what to do or belive
Not freedom=free
Is (should be?) freedom=tolerance from each other to each other
I hate the fear mongering that is going on that is going on in goverment and at work
It used to be that peaple worked together as a team and took pride in their work
We all want to be respected
But it seems government corprations and a vocal part of the population think RESPECT=money or power
I feel you get respect by being respectable and giving respect to others and helping others
Thats what I like about everyone here is that they/we respect each other for our differences as well as simularites (likes)
I scares me how many kids (I am talking about the 18-25 year olds too) who think history is last years rapp star. Those can't rember (don't know) the past are doomed to ..........................
I'm proud of every one of you who have taken the time to teach a child and show them work doesn't have to be work if it is a source of pride of acomplishment
Nothing better than seeing a picture of a kid on a cub with a great big smile
please excuse my raving and jumbled thoughts but they are my thoughts and I stand by them

As a high school teacher I have to agree that the thing that depresses me most is the apathy of the majority of my students. I teach history and civics. Civics is a required course for all freshmen at my school, and it is my favorite subject to teach. I'm proud that I'm a flag-waving patriot through and through and I love my country, and I was raised to respect it. We live in the greatest country in the world (just my biased opinion, no offense, Rudi ) where countless men and women have died to protect and defend the rights that my students, to a large degree, just take for granted. But it takes every song and dance I know to get most students fired up, when they should be so eager to get involved. It is sad.
But every once in a while I see some hope. For example, I'm taking 16 seniors to Washington, D.C. next month for five days. I wrote grants for the money, so their was no fund-raising on the part of the kids. BUT in order to go, they had to agree to attend mandatory 2 hour after-school seminars every Wednesday (we started the first week of Nov., we leave Mar.23). The session topics have covered everything from the history of the sights we will see to the policies and goals of the Bush administration. They have extensive homework and research every week, and will have to keep journals on the trip. After returning, they are doing a presentation to the school board. A huge amount of work, yet every student has lived up to the contract they had to sign, and several have told me that they have learned more about their country doing this than they have in any class. And the level of performance on their assignments has been amazing. I'm really proud of them.
Also, I have an ex-student returning with the 133rd from Iraq. He should be home next week. He has emailed me several times a week during the year he has spent in and around Mosul. When he was in school, he was one of the biggest screw-offs I've ever worked with, with no sense of purpose or drive. Even though I would never wish combat on anyone, Josh says that his service has been the best thing that has ever happened to him. He has direction, a new maturity, and enthusiasm. He was home on leave in Oct. and came to see me at school. At my request he spoke to my classes, and his message was one of love of his country, appreciation of what it stands for and what it offers, and a respect for education that I had never heard from him before.
So I think there is some hope for the future leaders of this nation. Well, I'll shut up now, not that anyone has read this far . I just wish some common sense would be a requirement for elected office at every level.

When I was in high school, I went to Washington, D.C. on a trip coordinated by the associate minister at our Church. This was a trip that the church put together every two years. Each person had to pay their own way; no fundraisers here either. I enjoyed the experience very much... so much that when my wife and I married, we chose Washington as our honeymoon destination.

This will be my fourth trip to D.C. with students, and I've taken my family 3 times with my kids at different ages. It really is an incredible city. You get a feeling there that you can't get anywhere else. I'm looking forward to seeing the WWII monument. It wasn't finished last time I was there. We might even get to see the cherry blossoms--I haven't timed it to see them before.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
An early morning accident in southern Laurel County sent one man to jail for DUI and charges of alcohol intoxication against a juvenile passenger in the vehicle.
The crash occurred on Adams Road, 13 miles south of London, just after 5 a.m. Tuesday when 26-year-old Michael S. Taylor of north Ky. 1223 in Corbin ran his silver Chrysler Sebring into a ditch line. When Laurel County Sheriff's Deputy Kevin Berry and Sgt. Brett Reeves arrived on the scene, they found that neither Taylor nor the passenger in the vehicle were injured. However, they did determine both were under the influence.
Taylor was arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence, possession of an open alcoholic beverage container, no operator's license, and no seat belt. The juvenile was also charged with alcohol intoxication.
Taylor was lodged in the Laurel County Detention Center. The juvenile was released to the custody of his parents.

Picked this one up to give it a try based on the quality of Happy Camper, and as someone mentioned - these cans stand out sitting on the shelf.
First impressions are mixed, the head looks full with good lacing, but this beer is clearly not black, its the first Black IPA (why are we still calling them this?) that I can see through. Hints of roasted cereal and a touch of pine cones.
The taste is where this beer begins to fully unravel for me. The flavor has no real direction to it, I get blasts of burnt malt, lemon, pine, and it finishes with a mildly sour/tangy flavor that does not mesh with the roasted (burnt) malt flavors at all.
One of the more redeeming aspects of this beer is the mouthfeel, it is very creamy and full bodied, with a pleasing amount of carbonation. If only the flavors it emphasized lived up to the body, they might be on to something.
Overall this is not a beer I could recommend to friends based on this example. Its not a terrible beer, but the lack of cohesion between the flavors leave me wanting more.

12 oz can. Pours dark brown with a medium fluffy light tan head that goes to a thin film and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is sweet roasted grainy malts and some floral perfume.
The flavor is sweet chocolate malts with piney hops and a lot of bitter roast in the finish and some floral, almost soapy notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, it's OK - kind of a weird balance of sweet and roast with some off notes.

Poured a deep brownish black with a one finger tan head that receded to a ring of off-white leaving no lacing. It looks quite nice, very true to style. Scents of citrus pith, grapefruit, pine resin, some faint roasted malt and faint hints of alcohol. Very nice, a very IPA aroma, with some roasted character true to a black ale. Flavors of bitter citrus pith, grapefruit, pine resin, some woody flavors, roasted malt, all present throughout the sip. Some alcohol appears as the beer warms. Some hop spiciness and faint brown sugar sweetness. Hop bitterness is fairly high and abundunt, balanced by some nice roasted malt flavors. Quite nice, rather bitter, roasty and hop forward, I like it. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly chalky, resinous, with a semi-drying finish. Very easy to drink, with the drying quality urging you to sip more. Overall this is quite a nice black IPA, quite bitter and hoppy with a nice citrus forward aroma. The roasted character enhances the bitterness and adds a bit of depth. The sweetness balances things and makes the flavor excellent. Its quite the nice black IPA.

Medium to slightly bigger tan head recedes super slowly above a clear darker brown with a hint of deep red colored beer.
Pine and citrus hops aroma with some darker roasted grain malts coming through as well.
Dark roasted malts with both chocolate and coffee aspects seem to be sharing the spotlight or even trying to steal it from the pine and citrusy hops tastes.
A dryish aftertaste with some of the hops bitterness coming through on this medium bodied beer.
Like most dark IPA's I have tried a get a mixture of dark malts and citrus hops and I think I would rather drink a IPA or a brown/porter/stout/oktoberfest/amber and not both at the same time.

Have had this several times before, but this review is for a pint at the brewery yesterday (11/15/13).
The beer is jet black with three fingers of khaki-colored head. There is abundant lacing.
The smell is piney and hoppy, resinous and floral.
The tastes I detect are burnt coffee, chocolate, piney hops, caramel and toffee.
The beer has a big body, a powerful hop profile and a heavy mouthfeel that requires that one drink slowly. Despite the bitter dryness, the chocolate and coffee notes smooth out the finish. Overall, good but not great.

Pours a scarlet tinged mahogany with 3 fingers of mocha colored head. Good head retention & lacing
S: Roastyness, some fig, leafy hops & a whisper of brown bread
T: Roastyness, a bit of carob, woody hops, & a little grapefruit up front, plus some coffee. Roastyness continues as this warms, faint figgyness plus herbal & woody hops, then a smidge of cocoa. Finishes roasty, somewhat dry, woody with some dark fruittyness & grapefruit coming through
MF: Medium body with firm carbonation, skews slightly malty
Very easy to drink, not the best Black Ale out there, but this would do in a pinch. I wish it was as good & hop forward as their IPA

Santa Fe Black IPA has a thick, soapy, beige head, a dark, red-brown appearance, and heavy lacing left on the glass. The aroma is very noticeably citrusy, with some background bread crust and malt. Taste is of roasted grain, citrus, hop resin, chocolate, some bitterness, and sugar. Mouthfeel is medium, and Santa Fe Black IPA finishes mostly dry, easy drinking, and not the least bit alchohilic. Overall, I like it and recommend it!

12 oz can pours a pretty solid black color with a fine-bubbled brown head. Nice retention and lacing...so far, so good.
Nose has tons of bright pine and citrus hops with a hefty dose of roast, licorice and dark chocolate. The parts sound like they would add up to greatness, but the various parts clash a bit, for me anyway.
This one has about equal parts hops and malt. The hop flavors and bitterness are both bold. The malts lean a bit more roasty than chocolate which kinds of piles on top of the hop bitterness. I really enjoyed the Happy Camper IPA from SFBC, but this one is not quite as tasty. I tend to like my Black IPAs a little more chocolate leaning with more emphasis on hop flavoring than the bitterness. Its not bad though, Santa Fe has put out some pretty tasty stuff in the fast 3 or 4 years.

A cool looking black can with silver graphics.
Massive tan head and opaque black
Not much nose or any aromas but the taste makes up for it.
Complex toasted maltiness, hoppy
Great bitter aftertaste.
Excellent mouthfeel, full smooth
Altogether, this is a really excellent ale that I'll buy again.
With the Camper IPA, the Java Stout and this one, Santa Fe is 3 for 3

Let me begin by making a simple, but direct comment: If you are going to lead people, you must be able to train people. Everybody in positions of leadership, regardless of rank, must be able to share their knowledge and experience with the people who have been entrusted to their care.
Whether you are running a fire department or a fire company, the need will exist for you to be able to impart knowledge. Of course, the higher up the food chain you are, the greater the chance you will be supervising instructors, rather than teaching people yourself. That is how it was for me during my time as the chief of training in Newark, NJ. I was more of an administrator than an instructor.
Teaching the troops
It was not always that way. As a company captain, it was up to me to see that our team followed the training schedule each day at work. I brought the actual experiences of the day-to-day operations into our training sessions. As I moved up in rank, so did my responsibilities. As a battalion chief, I made sure my captains were training their troops. I did this by sitting in on their sessions and monitoring the educational deliveries.
It was at the battalion level that I was able to bring the companies in my battalion together to create multi-company training operations. However, I still called on my captains to conduct classroom classes and actual hands-on training. I knew then, as now, that you must empower your people in order for them to become better at what they will be called on to do during emergency operations.
My captains responded quite well. They appreciated the fact that I valued their experience and abilities. They also appreciated the fact that I allowed them to try things in their own way. There were successes and there were failures, but I was never judgmental. Too much criticism could have stifled their enthusiasm and undermined the training effort. Other chiefs wanted to make every decision and supervise every class. That is not how I saw things.
The mind is an extremely complex commodity. When it is ready and willing, it can do wonders. That is what I saw with my captains. When the mind does not want to perform, it is difficult to achieve anything. The actual motivation for the officer and the student can come from a variety of sources.
Some of the common motivators are recognition, money or promotions. In other cases, it is the desire of the student to learn that must be nurtured by the leader. Empowerment of each organizational level can create fabulous results, particularly in volunteer fire departments, since money is not a factor in your motivational toolkit. Likewise, it is the satisfaction with the creation of an effective team that can stimulate your right-front-seat leaders to step up and become effective organizational motivators.
When it comes to motivation, you must make a conscious effort to learn how to inspire your troops to do the best job possible. The things that we need (and want) in life create goal-driven behaviors on our part. A need has been described by some experts as a deficiency in our personal being at a given time; something that, if provided, will make us a whole person again.
Perhaps the best description of needs and what they are comes from the work of Abraham Maslow, who developed an excellent analytical frame of reference with regard to what he perceived needs to be. His "Hierarchy of Needs" is a standard starting point in any discussion of human behavior or its effect on education.
We can all draw heavily from Maslow's theories for our own training programs. We must both work hard to encourage our teams and we should be encouragers and promoters of the advancement of our team's agenda. Let me suggest that we will draw upon my experience and education to illustrate how the hierarchy of needs can be met in the classroom.

BBC America offers another sci-fi show from the great Glen Morgan that's not-so-great.
Lucien and Regina are a thirtysomething couple who forage for wild mushrooms in forests and sell them door to door to Manhattan restaurants. Lucien is a mycological authority. The tone of their marriage is set in an early scene, when he discovers a motherlode of mushrooms and calls out for her in the forest with a voice so loud and harsh you'd almost think this was her fault.
Regina (Tiffany Esteb) is a loving and forgiving woman. Lucien (Jason Cortlund) doesn't deserve her. He believes her slavish obedience is his due. They are both expert chefs — so subtle, exacting and perfectionist, you feel it is a sacrilege to actually put their food in your mouth and eat it. Better to simply regard it and meditate on the chefs' greatness. Cuisine elevated to such an extreme is a tiresome conceit.
Lucien is passive-aggressive, barely containing himself at times from active aggression when Regina is so bold as to question their lifestyle. When times turn really hard for them, his response is to pull out an atlas and map a nomadic journey from Oregon to Mexico, paying their way with mushrooms. A road test of this strategy goes wrong when he ventures into the New Jersey Pine Barrens and meets a couple of Russian mushroom hunters with machetes, who suggest he hand over his mushroom basket.
"Now, Forager: A Film About Love and Fungi" is more about fungi than love. Starring Jason Cortlund, who also wrote and co-directed, the film convincingly portrays Regina's growing exasperation with his character. One review says the characters "lack chemistry." Say what? Of course they do. Regina is offered a well-paying kitchen prep job by a friendly restaurant owner, and when she accepts, Lucien treats it as disloyalty. The owner lines up a position for her, cooking in a Basque restaurant on Long Island, where her own food snobbishness comes into play.
Meanwhile, in the movie's best sequence, the desperate and broke Lucien is offered $2,500 to cater a "sit-down buffet" for a rich woman (Gabrielle Maysles) who will require, I believe, dozens of appetizers and 47 fresh lobsters. Lucien begins to invent exquisite appetizers, and this insufferable woman begins to page through cookbooks that look previously untouched and suggest that some dishes could use "a little hot pepper." She fails to observe the rage boiling inside him.
The images of wild mushrooms by Cortlund himself (editor of the newsletter of the New York Mycological Society), and the shots of food prep by cinematographer Jonathan Nastasi, approach art. "Now, Forager" is a uncompromising film about two people who don't deserve each other — but maybe nobody deserves either one of them.

Men's Basketball Lands 6-foot-10 Transfer from Ole Miss
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Although the FGCU men's basketball team is preparing for tonight's contest against UNF, the Eagles turned their attention to the more distant future today with the signing of Kevin Cantinol for the 2010-11 season.
"Kevin is a terrific young man who fits in well with our program, both on and off the court," said FGCU head coach Dave Balza." He will represent our school very well. He brings a physical post presence with size, that's what we are looking for in this recruiting class. We are excited to have him, and we anticipate that having him workout this semester will not only benefit him, but our team as well."
Hailing from the Caribbean island of Martinique (Guadeloupe, French West Indies), Cantinol moved to Clearwater for his freshman season in high school. He is the fourth internationally-born signee in Balza's eight year tenure at FGCU, joining George Erkvania (Tbilisi, Georgia Republic), Mbainai Narmbaye (Chad, Africa) and Juan Cedeno (Maracay, Venezuela).
As a redshirt-freshman at Ole Miss, Cantinol played in 19 games collecting 16 points and 13 rebounds on the season. He set season highs with eight points (on 4-of-4 FGs), four rebounds and 23 minutes in a win at New Orleans. This season as a sophomore, he played in two games.
Cantinol led Calvary Christian High School to its first appearance in the state Final Four in 2007. He also earned All-State and State All-Tournament honors, averaging 16 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots as a senior. He holds schools records with 19 blocks in a game, 17 rebounds in a game and most career rebounds. As a junior, he averaged 16 points and seven boards per game in helping the team reach the Regional Finals. His high school resume also includes, listed among the Florida's top 20 players by The Florida Focus, All-Conference selections, three-time team MVP, All-Tournament selection at the Disney Super Showcase and also lettered in track and owns the school record in the shot put.
Due to NCAA Transfer rules, Canitol will be eligible in the spring semester of the 2010-2011 season.

Easily Installed around Pipes
Installation DescriptionA drop ceiling installation using Stratford White Ceiling Panels.
Customer Testimonial
My project was to frame and drywall the west and south walls in a basement room we used as a schoolroom. The Ceilume tiles were the easiest part of the job. They cut smoothly for fitting around corners and a couple of pipes that could not be moved. The lightness of the tiles made installation a breeze and gentle on my tired shoulders after resetting the grid. I was so thrilled with it that I had to blog about it to my friends. Our fourteen year old stretched out on the floor when it was all done. Looking up at the tiles, he said, " this is like being in a fancy hotel room. The ceiling gives this room class." That's saying a lot for their schoolroom now turned into a game room. Friends thought the tiles were made from wood! Have a great day and thank you for the Ceilume tile.

England manager Roy Hodgson congratulates Liverpool on signing Rickie Lambert and says the striker is "very happy" ahead of his transfer from Southampton
11:23am Sunday 1st June 2014 in Football
England manager Roy Hodgson has congratulated Liverpool on signing Rickie Lambert from Saints.
The striker's transfer to Anfield is due to be completed tomorrow, although the player himself will be at a pre-World Cup training camp in Miami by that point.
Lambert passed a medical in Liverpool yesterday and has agreed a two-year contract with the club he supports.
The 32-year-old was an unused substitute for England in Friday night's 3-0 win against Peru, at Wembley, but is set to feature in Wednesday's friendly against Ecuador.
Hodgson, who used to manage the Reds, is expecting Lambert to be full of enthusiasm when he takes to the field at Miami's Sun Life Stadium.
"He is very happy, I am happy for him and I congratulate Liverpool on signing a good player," he said.
"I am sure that when he plays against Ecuador you will see a fella running around with all the joy that his heart can muster, because he is very happy to be here with England and he is very happy that the move to Liverpool has gone through."

In response to SpacemanEephus' comment:
In response to pumpsie-green's comment:
In response to Sobchack's comment:
Right now, at 3-5 and hopefully avoiding 3-6 going up against the NYY, JBJ is one of the few bright spots.
He DID figure very big in win #3.
Bradley's defense has never been in question. The issue has been: can he hit? In watching him over the first few games of the year I noticed that the opposing pitchers are not exploiting the hole in JBJ's swing, which is on the inside part of the plate. At least thats the way it seems to me. I wonder if word has gotten out that he has fixed that problem, or if the opposing pitchers aren't getting good scouting reports, or if I am just mistaken in my observations. Anyone else notice that?
I doubt that it is poor scouting reports, as clearly they got the good reports last year and Jackie was completely overmatched.
I haven't watched every PA, but the ones I saw did not show that the pitchers were pitching him inside.

Fire restrictions ease on federal land in Nebraska
CHADRON, Neb. (AP) _ The U.S. Forest Service has eased fire restrictions on land within the Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands.
Officials say the fire danger has been reduced by the arrival of shorter days and cooler weather, but people are still asked to be careful with fire.
Visitors to federal land are now allowed to have campfires again as long as they use developed campgrounds or improved sites.
Smoking is only allowed inside a vehicle or building or in an area that has been cleared of flammable vegetation within a 3-foot-wide circle.
Several wildfires burned large sections of the Nebraska Sandhills and Panhandle regions this summer. Drought created prime conditions for fires.

One of the oldest institutions of higher learning in our area celebrated its birthday Wednesday.
On February 20th, 1908, 27 students and three teachers entered Tift Hall on the campus of what was then the Second District A and M school.
Today, it's Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and has 3200 students.
The refurbished front end of campus, containing the college's three original buildings will be re-dedicated on March 1st, although some administrative functions are already located there.
Ashley Mock, ABAC's Director of Public Relations said, "it was really exciting to be able to move back to the front of campus this past summer and to be able to get the president's office and public relations back to the front of campus. But it's really exciting to be able to open the doors to Lewis and Herring Hall as well next week and to be able to open the lawn."
The most popular major on campus today is nursing.
The first classes 105 years ago focused on agriculture and mechanical trades.
