Epigemenio Guzman is eager to dispel the notion that Mexican food is unhealthy.
As the owner of Tu Y Yo Mexican Cuisine in Sommerville and Needham, Guzman and head chef Adolfo Aluardo are cooking up seasonal dishes with natural ingredients that can cure hunger pains and possibly other ailments as well.
Guzman explains a few of the curative abilities of just one of their menu items, the fibrous cactus.
"If you have diabetes, cholesterol, if you have a problem with digestion," Guzman said, "cactus is very, very good and natural and healthy."
Guzman, who grew up in Mexico City and came to the United States 35 years ago, builds a menu from a deep pool of recipes that date back some 700 years to the Aztec people of his homeland.
"We have a very rich culture in Mexico," Guzman said. "We are have the third biggest gastronomy in the world. We have more than 3,000 dishes. For Mexicans, it's very simple to cook everyday, different and healthy food."
It also helps that he grew up watching the women in his family cook four to five hours a day.
"I was always in the kitchen with my mother cooking," he said. "I use my mother's recipes and my grandmother's. We read all the recipes of our family and bring them together."
It is this kind of home cooking that has garnered Tu Y Yo praise as authentic Mexican cuisine by the Boston Globe and the Improper Bostonian.
"We are unique," Guzman said. "We use Mexican ingredients. We cook the way we cook in Mexico. We show the customer a lot of items they don't have here."
Every week the restaurant receives a shipment of Mexican ingredients like chayote (a vegetable that looks like a granny smith apple) and flor de carbaza (the flower of the pumpkin plant) and stirs up dishes that can be both familiar and thrilling.
Take the first appetizer on the menu, for example: tacos de chapulines. Guzman described the mini tacos with grasshoppers as a specialty that doesn't always conform to an American understanding of Mexican that is fast and fattening.
"We are the only restaurant with the grasshoppers in all of New England," he said. "Here people are afraid, but they take time. Everything is in the head."
With regular trips back to Mexico, an encyclopedia-like knowledge of historical dishes and a thirst for seasonal fare, Guzman and Chef Aluardo are constantly changing the menu, trying to build a loyal fan base for the almost one-year-old establishment.
"A lot of people they don't know us," Guzman said of the Needham location. "People are starting to come more often. The people who come and eat, they like our food."
Some of the authentic dishes being offered this summer season include:
Tacos de Chapulines
- The dried grasshoppers, which are sent from Mexico, are mixed with sautéed onions, tomatoes and chili ancho, wrapped in tortillas and quick-fried.
Chile Rellenos in Norgada
- A pablano pepper is stuffed with browned beef and a veritable fruit salad of apple, pear, peach, pineapple, walnuts and raisins and covered in a white walnut and cheese sauce topped with pomegranate seeds and parsley.
- This seasonal dish dates back to the early 17th century and takes on the colors of the Mexican flag: red, white and green.
Chile Relleno de Camaron
- Poblano pepper stuffed with shrimp and goat cheese and black olives; drizzled in a red bell pepper sauce.
- "The flavor (of the poblano pepper) can change when you cook," Guzman said. "It's part of the art."
Tu Y Yo Mexican Cuisine is located at 66 Chestnut Street. You can also visit their website for more information.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Fashion Rules—a new exhibition at London's Kensington Palace showcasing twenty-one gowns once worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, and Princess Diana—provides a peek at the royals' wardrobes. "These three women were perhaps the most high-profile dressers of their time," offered the show's curator, Cassie Davies-Strodder. "Whatever they wore was photographed by international press and seen worldwide. The influence they had on fashion was bar none, and from a historical perspective, we felt it was critical to highlight that." Now open to the public, the show comes before the much-anticipated September release of Oliver Hirschbiegel's Diana biopic, in which Naomi Watts stars as the People's Princess.
Sponsored by Estée Lauder, the exhibition's opening party was held on Thursday evening at the Palace (once home to Queen Victoria, Princess Diana, and now the Duchess of Cambridge and Wills). And while the historic home's new renovations—including a majestic stone hall with a thoroughly modern blue light sculpture by Loop.pH, quirky wallpaper boasting illustrations of Diana by artist Julie Verhoeven, and brick walls adorned with Mario Testino-lensed portraits of Princess Di—nearly overshadowed the dresses, several stood out. Key pieces include a gold caftan and turban worn by the party-loving Princess Margaret for a fete in Mustique (above), five gowns worn by the Queen in the fifties (below), and several Bruce Oldfield looks for Princess Diana. Oldfield himself was in attendance, joined by Poppy Delevingne, Tali Lennox, Minnie Driver, and Mr. Selfridge's Jeremy Piven. Designers Manolo Blahnik, Erdem Moralioglu, Richard Nicoll, Henry Holland, and Marios Schwab also stopped by to survey the scene.
Davies-Strodder explained the pressure placed on designers to adhere to the royals' rules—God forfend a dress should start a war. "There was extraordinary responsibility on the royals and their couturiers to get it right," she said. "For the Queen's trip to Pakistan, the couturiers had to sew in colors of the Pakistani flag and create a dress that was representative of the dress modesty in that country."
So does Davies-Strodder think Ms. Middleton will have the same sartorial influence? "It's early days yet for her. Consider that the Princess Diana pieces are already 25 years old. But it's safe to say that whatever she wears, Kate Middleton will hold the same fascination as her predecessors." No pressure there, then.
Fashion Rules is open now through the summer of 2015 at Kensington Palace in London.

Ray Emery's incredible NHL comeback took another awesome step on Wednesday night. In his first start in the league since February 1, 2010, Emery made 30 stops on 31 saves to boost the Anaheim Ducks to a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues.
About a year ago, Emery faced what was then thought to be a career-ending injury when he was diagnosed with avascular necrosis in his hip. The disease degrades the bone, which is obviously not good for anybody, let alone a hockey player who puts a lot of strain on that joint. His comeback, especially in such a relatively short period of time, is nothing short of amazing.
The win wasn't just a big one for Emery, though. For the Ducks as a whole, the win boosted them over the big bold line in the middle of the Western Conference standings. Anaheim now sits tied in points with Calgary, but they hold the eighth spot thanks to holding two games in hand over the Flames.
Elsewhere in the NHL...
Leafs 3, Hurricanes 1: One night after earning a big, important two points over the Buffalo Sabres, Carolina took a step back despite firing almost 18 more shots on goal than their foe, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Dion Phaneuf scored two goals to give the Leafs a huge win that keeps them just four points out of the final playoff spot and just two points behind the Canes.

WHAT'S A ZINE? Zines are self-published, often handmade publications of various kinds. They can look like and be about anything at all. Mine have been small books of poetry, first-person narratives, collections of interviews ... and then there's my eccentric serial zine about language, The La-La Theory.
OH WELL THEN TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR ZINES, KATIE. I sell them at zine fairs and on my etsy shop (above), and some of them are carried by zine distros such as Parcell Press and Microcosm, and independent bookstores such as Philadelphia's landmark anarchist bookstore the Wooden Shoe; Bluestockings, the fantastic feminist bookstore in New York City; and Sticky Institute in Melbourne, Australia. My zines also live in the collections of some public and academic libraries and infoshops, including Barnard College's zine library, the Multnomah County Library in Portland, Oregon, The Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture at Duke University, and the Browne Popular Culture Library at Bowling Green State University. My found poetry zine, Word Math, was included in "Dark Matter," a 2004 exhibit of underground art at the Baltimore Museum of Art, and some of my other zines were included in shows at d21 Kunstraum in Leipzig and Space 538 in Portland, Maine. My zine The La-La Theory was featured in the big beautiful art book Fanzines by Teal Triggs (Chronicle, 2010). The La-La Theory was also included in this nifty report from the BBC News. In the fall of 2010 I did a zine writer's residency at the Anchor Archive in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was very pretty there.
I ALSO DO A WORKSHOP, EVERYBODY. I have created a crafty-style how-to zine workshop, and so far I've presented it at Philadelphia's great big Free Library Festival, the Collingswood Book Festival, and for the students of Bryn Mawr College at their lovely Art Spectacular event. I've also done it for kids, tweens and teens at libraries, including the Lucien E. Blackwell, Haverford Avenue, and Tacony branches of the Philadelphia Free Library. If you'd like me to do one at your school, library, community center or what have you just email me.
ARE YOU STILL NOT SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT A ZINE IS? Take a look at ZineWiki, that should help.

ROCKFORD, Ill. – The Rockford College men's basketball team continued their high scoring offensive output on Saturday, with a 90-82 victory over visiting Clarke College. Through four games, the Regents, whose record is now standing at 3-1, are averaging 98.2 points per game.
Rockford got off to another good start as junior Robert Malone (Stephens, Ark./ Stephens) scored the game's first six points and eight of the team's first 11. The Crusaders managed a comeback taking a 16-15 lead at the 12:41 mark. But over the next three minutes, the Regents responded to retake the lead for good, eventually pushing their advantage to 10 points several times over the final seven minutes of the half. At the break, the Regents led 47-37 on the strength of Malone's first half double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds. Senior guard Danny Armelin (Gonzales, Texas/ Gonzales) added 14 points for the Regents.
Both clubs played the second half very evenly. The Crusaders continued to mount comebacks, and each time, the Regents responded, never allowing their lead to get below three. A late 9-0 run by the Regents, one in which all five players on the court scored, extended Rockford's advantage to 84-72 with just over three minutes to play.
For the game, Malone led the Regents with 29 points and 17 rebounds, while Armelin netted 22 points. Seniors Garrett Staniec (Glenview, Ill./ Glenbrook South) and Andrew Weber (Roscoe, Ill./ Boylan) added 16 points, seven rebounds and 13 points, 4 assists, respectively.
The Regents will hit the road on Tuesday, when they travel to Mequon, Wisconsin to face Concordia University Wisconsin in their Northern Athletics Conference opener.

I thought this item at Puck Prospectus would be of interest because it questions whether Jack Johnson is worth his big new contract. The cap hit for Johnson is $4.4 M despite his having the worst goals against rate per 60 minutes of any Kings' defenseman this season or last.
Whether Johnson deserves his new contract seems relevant to pricing a new contract for Pitkanen or a Pitkanen replacement as well as valuing Tim Gleason. Also, Johnson and Gleason provide interesting reference points for figuring out the mystery of Pitkanen's value as a high-risk, high-reward player. As you'll see below, Johnson is the very definition of that type of player. I think the numbers below also say something about whether Gleason has really had a subpar season, as a lot of us have suggested.
If I'm interpreting this chart correctly at behindthenet.ca, Tim Gleason's GA per 60 at ES is 2.16. Jack Johnson's is 3.24 and Pitkanen's GA/60 is 3.02. Gleason looks like a bargain at $2.75 M. The + / - per 60 minutes when on the ice at ES numbers look better for both Gleason and Pitkanen than for Johnson. Gleason is +.17, Pitkanen -0.27 and Johnson -0.44.
The huge difference in Johnson's favor is of course in scoring on the power play, where he generates 6.03 points per 60 minutes. Gleason doesn't figure on the PP at all. Pitkanen generates 2.26 points per 60 minutes on the PP. (Corvo generates 5.45 points and McBain 3.25. For the curious, Babchuk generates 4.55.)
Even strength, Johnson has been on the ice for 38 goals for and 44 against. Drew Doughty's corresponding numbers are 42 and 28. Gleason's numbers are 28 goals for and 26 against, best on the Canes and two goals better than Doughty on goals against. Pitkanen's numbers are 30 GF on the ice ES and 33 against ES.
The numbers on Pitkanen in different situations make an interesting study. On the power play, he's been on for 13 goals for and 0 goals against. On the penalty kill, he's been on for 4 goals for and 10 against, besides the even strength numbers of 30 goals for and 33 against. On the power play, Johnson has been on the ice for 22 goals for and 3 goals against. Penalty kill, 1 goal for and 2 goals against. For the whole season so far, Johnson has averaged only 1:06 TOI shorthanded. Gleason has averaged 2:58 and Pitkanen 1:48. Pitkanen has had 3:59 TOI per game on the power play, Johnson 3;56, Gleason 0:32.
So at this stage, Johnson is the worst of the 3 defensemen at even strength. The Kings don't send him out that much on the PK. He generates a staggering 22 PP goals but also allows 3 shorthanded coming back. When you look just at goals against in all situations, Johnson brings up the rear with 46, Pitkanen has 43 and Gleason 37. When you add up the goals for and against in all situations, Johnson comes out best at -7, while Pitkanen and Gleason are both -9. But Gleason plays far more in shorthanded situations than Pitkanen, who plays more shorthanded than Johnson. Down a man, you're expected to operate at a deficit. (BTW, there is a chink in Drew Doughty's armor. On the PK, his +/- per 60 is -9.56. Pitkanen's is -6.02 and Gleason's -5.43.)
So who's a more valuable defenseman? Gleason, the guy who plays most in tough situations and has a 9 goal deficit on the season? Pitkanen, the guy who plays in all situations, though less shorthanded than Gleason, and has a 9 goal deficit? Or Johnson, who plays hardly at all in the toughest situations and has a 7 goal deficit for the season?
For people who can't stand the risks that come with Pitkanen, consider how you'd feel if he'd allowed 3 goals against when the Canes had the power play and 2 goals against when on the PK despite playing very little shorthanded, plus allowing 11 more goals at even strength than he has. That would be Jack Johnson, the $4.4 M defenseman whose team is +0.66 per 60 when he's OFF THE ICE and -0.44 when HE'S ON THE ICE. You've got to ask just how much of a risk Pitkanen really is when most of his deficit in goals against comes on the PK.
Johnson is a spectacular offensive player but still does considerably more harm than good even though he's shielded from the risks of PK time. By comparison, Pitkanen is a more versatile player and remarkably low in risk, if you consider that in all situations, he's been on the ice for 4 goals more for the Canes than against. Gleason is low risk/low reward, if by reward you mean goals scored while he's on the ice. But if you take your reward in the form of +/-, the rewards Gleason offers are the highest of the 3.
It would be great if the Canes had Drew Doughty, but they'd never be able to afford him. Can they afford a replacement for Pitkanen or win if they have to accept a downgrade?

The Kansas City Chiefs sat at 89 players on Monday and with seven roster moves have gotten down to 82 players before Tuesday's league-mandated cut down to 80 players. That means the Chiefs have two more roster moves to make after Monday's cuts.
The following players were waived by the Chiefs: LB Eric Bakhtiari, RB Tervaris Johnson, DB Javes Lewis, WR Chris Manno, WR Josue Paul, DB Mario Russell and WR Chandler Williams.
No player on that list is a surprise for those following the Chiefs.
The Chiefs have two more moves to make by Tuesday afternoon. After that, they'll be down to 80 players and on Sept. 3 they'll need to cut their rosters down to 53 players.
The Chiefs have a solid young team without many holes but there's always room to upgrade. There will be opportunities to improve the roster over the next week when all teams get down to 53 players.
Check out Arrowhead Pride, where they're looking at the latest Chiefs depth chart.

Icky Sticky Snickers
Beginning Readers
Emily Colburn
Emily Colburn
This lesson teaches children about the short vowel correspondence i = /i/. In order to be able to read, children must learn to recognize the spellings that map word pronunciations. In this lesson children will learn to recognize, spell, and read words containing the spelling i. They will learn a meaningful representation (icky sticky snickers), they will spell and read words containing this spelling in a letterbox lesson, and read a decodable book that focuses on the correspondence i = /i/.
Chart with tongue twister, " This medicine tastes really icky, I, I, I", primary paper, pencils, Elkonin boxes, plastic letter tiles, Picture of icky sticky snickers bar, book-Tin Man Fix It, assessment worksheet for short i.
1. Today we are going to learn about the letter I and what it sounds like. The sound /i/ is in a lot of words. So you can be great readers you need to pay close attention! We are going to spell and read words with the sound /i/ in them.
2. Ask this question have you ever gotten something sticky on your hands like a sticky piece of candy? It feels very icky on your hands and you want to get it off (show sticky hand motions). Well the letter I makes that same sound that you make when you have something sticky on your hands. To make the /i/ sound your mouth is opened and your tongue slightly lowered. Can you say the /i/ sound while using your hands to pretend you have something sticky on them?
3. Here is a tongue twister to help you with the /i/ sound. "This medicine tastes really icky I,I,I." Now say it with me and make sure you are stretching out the /i/ sound. Here we go, Thiiiiiis mediiiiiiiciiiiine tastes really iiiiicky Iii,Iii,Iii. If the students need more practice circle the /i/ sound as you read it.
4. Let's practice finding the /i/ sound in certain words. Do you hear /i/ in sip or cat, dog or dig, sit, or bed?
5. Now we are going to do a letterbox lesson with words that have the /i/ sound in them. Some words may be review words with short a and e in them. I'm going to model how to use the Elkonin boxes and the letter tiles. I want to spell the word tin like a tin man. Tttt iiii nnnn, I think I hear 3 sounds in the word tin so I'm going to get three letterboxes. Each sound you hear will go in a box. So in the first box I hear the sound /t/ so I'm going to put the letter t in the first letter box. Next I hear the icky sticky I (/i/), so I'll put the letter I in the second box. Last I hear the sound /n/ so I'll put the letter n in the last box. Now I'm going to check to make sure I spelled it right by sounding out each letter. /t/, /i/, / n/, this says tin!
6. After modeling I will give the students elkonin boxes and letter tiles. Then I will call out a list of words for them to spell one at a time. I will observe everyone's letterboxes. If a student misspells a word I will ask them to read it exactly like they have it. Once they get it correct we will move on to the next word. Word list 3—[bin, cat, bit, dig], 4—[skip, gift, milk, shin], and 5—[spend]
7. Have the student read the book Tin Man Fix It with a partner. First give a booktalk. This is a story about a tin man who falls down and can't get up. Some people notice him and want to help him. Will they be able to fix the tin man? Let's read to find out! Walk around the room and listen to students as they read to each other.
8. Have students write a message about when they were hurt and someone helped them.
9. Assessment: Give each student a worksheet. Students are to read each word aloud and color the pictures that have the /i/ sound in them. Have students come up individually to read the letterbox lesson words to me (3—[bin, cat, bit, dig], 4—[skip, gift, milk], and 5—[spend].)

A possible rate hike from Lubbock Power & Light very much depends upon a behind-the-scenes struggle between the LP&L Board and Lubbock's city staff. Or at least, it was behind-the-scenes until certain public records were posted in the last few days to the city's website.
It was reported earlier this year that the LP&L Board proposed a rate hike. The Board said at the time the city-owned utility would lose $5 million or more in the current fiscal year - with more losses coming in the next fiscal year.
City Council publicly balked at the idea back in May and again in July. Mayor Glen Robertson said the decision on a rate hike could wait. "I think it is prudent to set rates … after we have final numbers on exactly how much we made or lost."
So now, city staff is not taking the Board's budget for granted but instead making its own proposal. The staff recommends no rate hike through December and maybe no rate hike at all. It refinances $5.6 million of debt at a lower interest rate to save money. And it maintains LP&L's required reserve at roughly $50 million.
The staff's counter-proposal cuts roughly $14 million in electric revenue as compared with the Board's budget proposal. It also reduces reimbursements from other city departments paid to LP&L.
So if the City Council chooses not to raise rates, where will it find the money to cover the anticipated shortfall? The counter-proposal calls for a reduction of LP&L's various payments in lieu of taxes to the city by almost $1 million. On the city's website, public records say, "… there was an error in the original calculation."
The counter-proposal also calls for borrowing money to pay for $10.5 million in capital projects. By contrast, the LP&L Board proposal is to "pay-as-you-go" with cash.
KCBD NewsChannel 11 was able to obtain the outline of the counter-proposal too late in the evening on Sunday to contact LP&L Chairman Mike Davis. However, earlier this year Davis objected to borrowing money. He said, "We could be borrowing money to operate and I can tell you I hate that. I am not a fan."
As final numbers for the 2011/2012 budget become available in December, the City Council can revisit the issue of rates. Every year, the LP&L Board proposes a budget, but City Council has the final say.

Victor Anderson was one of the bright spots of the game last night, scoring his first touch down since '09. He still didn't have a great game, but shows flashes of what we became accustomed to during his freshman year. He looked to be completely healthy for the first time in a long time (knock on wood), and was definitely not the same back we saw on the field last year. Anderson is going to be key this year, so hopefully he can stay healthy and be the face of the program.
Thanks to Sam Hunter and Hell In The Hall for the picture.

Lesley alumni Gagné and Strickland to perform with Berklee faculty ensemble on December 13
Monday, November 19, 2012
Performing with Berklee faculty all-stars Danny "Mo" Morris and Jon Hazilla, the ensemble will present twists on classic songs and introduce new compositions.
The concert is free and open to the public, to be held at 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 13 in the Marran Theater at Lesley University, located at the corner of Mellen and Oxford streets, Cambridge.
Strickland is a vocalist, saxophonist, flutist, songwriter and actor who has performed around the world. In addition to radio and television appearances, Stan has performed in clubs and concert halls, including Jordan and Symphony Halls in Boston, Carnegie Recital Hall and Town Hall in New York, and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Gagné has been a professional vocalist for over 25 years and has performed for Philip Glass, Penn & Teller, Barenaked Ladies and NBC-TV, among others.
A pianist and songwriter, Gagné is celebrating the release of her new book that offers a wellness-focused approach to musicianship, based on her Lesley graduate work, titled "Your Singing Voice: Contemporary Techniques, Expression and Spirit." She will sign copies of her book at the concert.
"Jeannie is an extraordinarily talented scholar, musician and educator," said Lesley Associate Professor Dr. Marion Nesbit. "It was a true privilege to serve as Jeannie's core faculty during her studies at Lesley and to relish her success in combining exceptional academic and performance talents with a passionate commitment to creating connections between musical performance, wellness and joy."
Strickland and Gagné are Lesley University alumni who teach at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Morris and Hazilla, the other members of the ensemble, play bass and drum set/percussion, respectively.
The free concert, sponsored by the Self Designed Masters Degree Program of Lesley's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences and The Dean of Students Office, celebrates the launch of the group's new collaboration and upcoming tour.

Now, how about a graph super-imposed over this one, showing the Democratic vs. Republican presidents, perhaps with a 6-9 month delay to allow for their influence to take hold? What would we see then?
on Jul 9, 2010 at 11:19 pm

How to lie with graphs! Cherry-pick the dates on the X axis instead of showing an even spread. And how about dates prior to 1995?
What about Senate majorities or Congressional majorities?
I once saw a website a number of years ago showing that the economy was usually very good under Democratic presidents. Wish I had bookmarked that...
on Jul 9, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Well 'cool' I guess you can spin the facts however you want. Hard to argue with this one very simple truth though, isn't it?
on Jul 9, 2010 at 11:24 pm
Yep, republican financial policies triggered democratic unemployment.
on Jul 9, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Stacey...you are one FLAMING leftist and WRONG.
When Democrat presidents were in office ... take Clinton for example...the reason the economy was vibrant was ...
1) Their lack of spending on the defense of our nation (e.g. Clinton passed on going after Osama despite his declaring war on America several times)
2) The Democrat presidents like Clinton WANTED much more government spending (e.g. HillaryCare) but the Republican majority congress held him in check.

Wow Chris,
I point out how the graph is constructed and you conclude I'm a flaming leftist. Amazing how you came to that conclusion. If you knew me better you'd know that I'm as far from the left as I am from the right. I've been frequently accused here of being both on the left and the right. You say a lot more about yourself than me when you write such posts. Here's a link for you: Web Link
Facts are facts. Graphs are drawings subject to context and visual design. Let's take away the dates after 2006 and which is the highest number? Or better yet, let's add in the data going back to the Great Depression.

I am very interested in your opinion about the following. Are you pleased with ...
1. Obama's presidency
2. The overall "change" he has proposed and implemented
3. His choices of people in his Administration
4. His Supreme Court picks
5. The decisions of his Justice Department
Advanced thanks for your opinions on these and any other related issues.

on Jul 10, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Stacy: just curious. You did comment about the graph, however why is it necessary to describe yourself as: "I'm as far from the left as I am from the right."?
If you have to say it, usually its not so. And since I don't know you, I have to draw conclusions based on what you say.
The graph may have not been the best,(I really don't know) however none can deny that the polices of this administration are anti-business thus anti job growth. To stay on this course will only make the unemployment numbers worse.
Truths become cloudy, logic is lost, and your comments are simply smoke and mirrors when you admit to "being both on the left and the right."
In this political climate today, that's just not a choice because the goals are are directly opposed to each other.

The only purpose Chris has in his response to me is to marginalize, not to engage in any debate. My approach to issues does not conform to any single ideology on either side. That's why I am frequently referred to as being both on the right and the left by other posters here. For example, "cutting spending" is a tool in a toolbox to address a specific problem at a specific time under specific conditions, not a goal for the sake of an ideology.

But in the meantime, the governor of Ohio is making videos singing to LeBron James to try to keep him with the Cavaliers. Because that's where American priorities really lie. Blame Obama all you want for the ills of America. It was no better than blaming Bush.

on Jul 11, 2010 at 9:57 am
Face it Stacey, a person who says she is no more on the right than on the left has no principles on which he/she bases decisions. His/her decisions are based on emotions only. Anyone who claims to have no political leanings...is certainly against the Constitution on which this Country was founded.
As far as I am concerned...you and people of your mindset are a principle reason why this country is in such a mess. You are definitely part of the problem.

RE: "I am very interested in your opinion about the following. Are you pleased with ...

I think you meant to type Geo. W. Bush...
I am not saying President Obama is doing a good job but I am saying that the problems happened under President Bush's watch, using your rationale.
However, in support of President Bush, he should not receive all the blame for a bad economy no more than President Clinton should all the accolades for a great economy.
And, keep in mind, we have a dysfuntional congress thanks to arcane rules and self-serving behavior REGARDLESS of political party.

No, you face it Teri, it's people like you who are the real ruin of this country. You confuse principles with ideology, which is a road to the oppression of others who don't conform to the ideal. Your only interest is in identifying who you can marginalize rather than actual defense of the Constitution. That's why your earlier questions are silly and not worth answering. You have the nerve to reference the Constitution yet you completely lack any appreciation of the lengthy REASONING that went into its formulation. Your love of ideology is the complete antithesis to REASONING and that's why our country is being ruined.

Your views and opinions on various subjects are all over the map which makes it extremely hard to identify any consistency with your values. Or maybe I am just reading you correctly in that your values on the same subjects change frequently.
on Jul 11, 2010 at 11:44 pm
M. is a registered user.
So apparently people are angry because Stacey is not as easily identified as either left or right. Honestly why should anyone care what side Stacey leans to. Stacey please correct me if I am wrong.It appears that Stacey decides for herself on a case by case basis if she is for or against something/someone, as opposed to swallowing a party ticket hook line and sinker. Perhaps the rest of you should think about doing the same thing.
This entire post, or what it has turned into is a perfect example of how politics has turned into ideology.Opinions on matters of politics have nothing to do with someone's moral character, or moral values in most cases.
Stacey's point on how to lie with graphs is right on, graphs are easily manipulated, much like just about any kind of statistic, all of which is common knowledge. In the end the ideologically driven commentators have taken up arms against simple logic in a knee jerk reaction to someone disagreeing with them, or simply not taking their word for it.
As for you Chris,
"Or maybe I am just reading you correctly in that your values on the same subjects change frequently."
Values? The word is opinion. You have politics, morality, and religion all mixed up. Trust me they are not the same thing, no matter how much people try to act like they are.

REScheck Policy
Department of Building Construction and Inspections
County of Henrico, Virginia
TO: All Residential Plan Reviewers and Building Inspectors
FROM: Charles Jones & Richard Moore
RE: REScheck Calculations
DATE: October 8, 2010
REScheck calculations may be submitted for all residential construction including new homes, additions and townhouses. After learning the major functions and special features of this energy compliance alternative, it was determined that we should have an office policy regarding plan re-submittals that include a REScheck calculation form.
Listed below is our office policy regarding plan review and inspection of energy conservation features within residential dwellings installed in compliance with an approved REScheck calculation.
- Plan re-submittals that include a REScheck calculation form are subject to the $25 re-review fee as required for the third plan review because of plans deficiencies or building permit amendments.
- All REScheck calculations shall be submitted and approved by a plan reviewer before the insulation inspection. The plan reviewer will highlight all deviations from IRC code prescriptive requirements.
- The REScheck form must be accompanied by the county approved plans when there are partial energy envelope deviations from the prescriptive requirements of the IRC code. The location of all partial deviations shall be noted on the floor plans or building elevations. Example: (5) windows installed with a U-value of .40 and (8) windows installed with a U-value of .35.
All REScheck calculations submitted shall include:
- The edition of REScheck used by the designer.
- Building location.
- Pass/Fail status.
- All deviations from IRC prescriptive requirements must be noted.
- R-30/R-38 attic insulation alternative offered by the IRC code does not apply. All roof insulation square footage and R-value must be listed on the calculation sheet.
- The U-value exemption offered by the IRC code for a window and/or door does not apply. All doors and windows must be listed on the calculation sheet.
- The type, thickness and location of any spray-on insulation shall be noted.
- Signature of designer.
Inspector responsibilities:
- Verify all deviations from the IRC code noted on the approved REScheck form.
- Document the predominant U-value of fenestration items (doors and windows).
- Encourage fenestration labels be left on the unit until the insulation inspection.
The REScheck requirements and two-story house example are detailed below. For questions about the documents shown , please contact Matt Lowry at 501-7330.

A five-story scaffold collapsed in Brooklyn Friday morning as strong winds and heavy rain hit the region.
Winds were forecasted to reach above 50 mph.
The scaffold from a building under construction and came crashing down at about 3 a.m. on Bay Parkway and West 12th Street in Bensonhurst.
More pieces of the scaffold fell from eight stories up just as a Good Day NY crew arrived on scene several hours alter.
The structure landed on a vehicle crushing it and sending debris across the street.
There were no injuries, according to the FDNY.

As the war in Afghanistan continues to wind down, more and more of our men and women in uniform are coming home. About 60 members of the Iowa Army National Guard returned home to Camp Dodge in Johnston Saturday.
One of those soldiers kept his homecoming a secret from his Eldridge family until Sunday night. Fox 18 was able to tag along for that very special reunion.
First Lieutenant Brent Kilburg had been away from his family for nearly a year.
He says the days were long and the work was hard while he was in Afghanistan, but being able to surprise his four kids Sunday night made it all worth it.
"Alright, who ordered taco pizza?" Kilburg announced, laughing, as he walked into the dining room at Happy Joe's restaurant in Eldridge, where his family was eating dinner.
The soldier's children were shocked, and basically stunned speechless.
Waiting in the wings elsewhere in the restaurant, the place was packed with Kilburg's friends and family, welcoming him home.
But, while they were all in on the surprise, his kids thought it was going to be just another normal trip to the pizza parlor.
They knew their dad was coming home soon - just not this soon.
Kilburg and his wife had been planning the surprise for a while, and say they're shocked their kids never suspected a thing:
"I was probably the most nervous one here, I think," Kilburg laughed. "Just hoping it went off without a hitch and everything went fine."
"Well, I didn't even know this was happening. And before this I just wanted to hug him...and that's what happened," his daughter, Anne Kilburg said, her voice choked with emotion.
His kids say one of the things they're most looking forward to is having their dad tuck them into bed, now that he's finally home.
The last time the family was all together in one place was in August 2012, before 1LT Kilburg left for training at Fort Food in Texas and then deployed to Afghanistan.
He was serving as a battle captain with the Iowa Army National Guard's 1034th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion in Afghanistan. Part of the unit's mission was to coordinate transportation and maintenance at its base.
Kilburg says the mission was a success and that everyone in his unit who was there made it home safely.

It's been quite the week for recent Boylan graduate Melissa VanSistine. She won the Greater Rockford Girl's Classic Monday, and bookended her week with a championship in the Greater Rockford Women's Classic.
VanSistine defeated Hui Chong Dofflemyer 2 and 1. VanSistine drilled a 25-foot birdie putt on 14 to keep things even with four holes to play.
She then hit a clutch birdie on 15 to go 1-up and finished the championship with a 10-foot birdie putt on 17 to knock off former champion Dofflemyer.
It's VanSistine's first Women's Classic title. She heads to Lewis University next month to study and play golf collegiately.

Proper Use Of String And StringBuffer In Java
// This isn't really code at all, this is a comment that I use // over and over again as I go through code written by people // who obviously don't understand when to use a String and when // to use a StringBuffer.
// I put this block of text wherever I find problems with Strings // and StringBuffers to improve understanding of how each one works // and when to use one or the other. // // Rule #1: Use a StringBuffer if you intend to build a string out of // dynamic elements. That is, if you are going to include the results // of function calls or variables as part of the string then you use // a StringBuffer and do append() calls. StringBuffer's append is // much faster than using "+" to stick together String objects. // // Rule #2: But, if you are just building a string out of static pieces // of text, it's better to use Strings and "+" than creating a // StringBuffer and making append calls. Instead just use a String // and a bunch of "+" signs between the sections. For example: // String test = "this " + "is " + "a " + "test " + "string"; // is _not_ expensive. Why? Because all the pieces are static text and // the compiler can make it into this _as it compiles the code_: // String test = "this is a test string"; // // Rule #3: For goodness sake, do this: // StringBuffer test = new StringBuffer(); // test.append("static string "); // test.append(dynamicCall()); // test.append(" another static string "); // test.append(someVariable); // DON'T DO THIS: // StringBuffer test = new StringBuffer(); // test.append("static string " + dynamicCall()); // test.append(" another static string " + someVariable); // This is officially the worst of all worlds. You need to use a // StringBuffer in this case because you've got some dynamic parts // but there is still addition going on between dynamic parts (the // function call and variable) and static strings. Ack! // // If you can't remember anything else, remember this: // static strings = String and "+" // dynamic strings = StringBuffer and append()
Snippets Manager replied on Tue, 2009/03/03 - 12:05pm
LOL, cool. the string should buffer Israel real estate with those objects. Anybody believe it will work as well as Java string at AFI group?
Snippets Manager replied on Mon, 2008/12/15 - 10:09am
Or better yet...
StringBuilder test = new StringBuilder( "static string " ).append( dynamicCall() ).append( "another static string ").append( someVariable );
Saves real estate :D Also, unless you are planning on needing synchronized "appending", StringBuilder is faster.
Snippets Manager replied on Tue, 2008/07/29 - 4:46pm
Note that you can compose the appends as it's a telescoped operator so instead of:
StringBuffer test = new StringBuffer();
test.append("static string ");
test.append(" another static string ");
you can do:
StringBuffer test = new StringBuffer();
test.append("static string ").append(dynamicCall()).append(" another static string ").append(someVariable);

Custodian dies and is then revived by teacher
CRYSTAL LAKE, IL — The inability for physical education (PE) teacher Corky Card to remember his keys saved the life of a Prairie Ridge High School custodian, according to the Daily Herald.
On Friday, when his keys were once again missing, Card and his wife had to backtrack to the school where they noticed janitor Daniel Pauling looking not quite right, the article stated.
According to the article, Pauling, 59, was sweating profusely and, within minutes, collapsed into Card's arms; both his breathing and his heart had stopped.
While Card's wife called the paramedics, Card hooked Pauling up to the portable defibrillator, provided by a high school senior also on the scene, which revived Pauling, the article noted.
"He died. What Corky and our young senior student did — they really did save his life," said Patti Hie, Prairie Ridge athletic director.
"It was amazing — the whole process of how everything lined up. The ambulance driver told me 'the chain works when the links are all connected.' You miss a link or they don't connect — and it probably wouldn't have ended so well. Everybody did their small part, and it worked out well for everybody," Card added.
