We've eaten at Brick Oven several times. Always look forward to coming to Kauai and having pizza here.
Great Pizza, but at $30 per large pizza, it is a bit expensive. JUst a heads up that it may be a bit higher than you are used too.
pizza was average, good flat screen TVs to watch sports, good beer selection, friendly staff, walking distance to our condo, free wifi.
The service was fast and the pizza was great. We ate there several times sampling different things on the menu (but pizza was best of all). You can enjoy this restaurant while watching the game on their TV screens or while having a get together with friends, there were even 2 two families celebrating their child birthday. Hope you enjoy...
fast service and totally fantastic food--accomadated 8 of us without any trouble--liked the family atmosphere and the wheelchair access
This was listed as the best pizza on Kauai and I agree! The crust is delicious and lots of toppings to choose from or choose their specialty pizzas. Wish we had a Brick Oven in California!
My wife and I visited the Brick Oven in Kapa'a on our recent vacation. The place was clean, and had a pleasant atmosphere. However, after waiting a loooong time, finishing our salad, and two beers later, I asked our waitress if she had forgot us, and she said "not yet". After at least 5 or 6 tables had been served,...
My husband and I came here after hiking 8 miles of the Kalalau Trail. We shared a salad and ordered a small pizza and it was the perfect amount of food. The whole wheat pizza crust is ok. I prefer a crisp outer crust that is somewhat soft and chewy and this one is just crisp (which my husband prefers)!...
Every time we come to Kauai, we make sure we stop at Brick Oven Pizza. We order the wheat crust pizza and the pitcher of beer. The pizza is delicious. We ordered a 2 topping medium pizza for about $20.
Went here right after kayak trip up Wailua river. The pizza was fabulous. My friend Kim who lives in Koloa recommended it and came with us. It was really good. Trying to find a Brick oven pizza place at home in Nor Cal.

Clay Aiken Issues Rambling, Self-Righteous Apology to Adam Lambertby Hilton Hater at . Comments
During a rambling blog entry - which included digs at bloggers for following his words more closely than the economy or the welfare of children around the globe - Clay Aiken sort of apologized to Adam Lambert for disparaging remarks he posted earlier in the week.
Many Lambert fans have taken Clay to task for referring to this season's runner-up as "contrived, awful and frightening."
In response, Aiken writes:
If only many [bloggers] took the time to pay attention to important things like the US economy and the welfare of the world's children. But… nah… I could blog about that type of stuff anytime and most wouldn't think twice, but let me say something that they can pick and choose quotes and misinterpret me… and it's showtime! I never assumed my opinion mattered so much! I guess I may have been wrong...
Since my previous blog got dissected like a biology lab frog, i suppose I should clarify and even retract some of what I wrote. I am sure that some were upset by my choice of words describing my opinion of a performance I heard from Adam Lambert.
I hope no one actually believed that blood truly poured forth from my ears when I heard him. I obviously meant it as a colorful statement to imply that I did not enjoy what I heard. Any performer hopes that their music will appeal to all people, but no singer realistically expects it to.
I definitely don't want to stoop to the level of so many negative freaks on the internet… so, I do apologize to Adam for my colorful (and negative) choice of words. I hope he can forgive me. I imagine he doesn't give a d---! God knows he shouldn't.
Clay Aiken thinks everyone (except for himself, apparently) should focus on world poverty instead of American Idol.
You people made him the self righteouss beast he's become. Go on a cruise and sing in the lounge where you belong. Hater!!
Clay's opinion about anything is worth as much as flies boo-boo. He'll be out of the lime-light soon. So who cares what he thinks.
Check out the video ad for "The Kris Allen Tolerance & Rehabilitation Center," dedicated to helping Adam Lambert fans cope with his recent loss, LoL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Post it up and/or share it with your friends!
Clay's apology? WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT? It didnt seem like an apology at all. He even has the nerve (still) to criticize the fans of Adam...that we do not have more important things on our minds? Shup up, Clay Aiken. You are the one that looks so scary and frightening! Gosh, look at yourself first before criticizing people...
Clay is a bitter jealous jerk. He said in the original blog that he only watches the show for 1 minute each season. So how did he see enough of Adam's performance in 1 minute to form an opinion? How did he see enough of the AI show to form this negative opinion in that 1 minute. He said he never saw Kris sing but Kris should be the winner. Clay lies constantly and he has lost most of his fans.
Clay was referring to Lambert's version of Ring of Fire not the man himself. Love how you manage to take everything out of context! While I personally do not believe he owed an apology to anyone because he is entitled to his opinion I applaud him for his maturity in doing so. I also will state he was TOTALLY ACCURATE ON ALL COUNTS! Mr. Aiken did not state that everyone should focus on world poverty instead of AI, He was referring to bloggers such as yourself, who LOVE to DISTORT EVERYTHING TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
I don't understand, either, why you have a problem. Everyone makes mistakes. I think it was a good thing for Clay to admit his choice of wording was poor (even though I agreed with every word). And why is it "self-righteous"? Sounds like he called it pretty accurately to me.
I have no beef with his apology. Don't understand why you do.

Those of you who stop by here regularly (ha!) may remember that I started some socks in January. I was hoping that trying toe-up socks might reignite my enthusiasm for sock knitting, which I usually find simultaneously boring and frustrating.
Nine months later, I can't say I'm a changed woman, but I do have a really nice pair of knee-high socks!
The pattern was Purl Soho's 'Little Cable Knee Highs', and was very straightforward. The only thing I really struggled with was the toe graft at the end, which I usually screw up anyway…
I knitted the first sock quite quickly, but was getting bored by the second one, and then got side tracked by other projects. I probably shouldn't have chosen such incredibly long socks to get back in to sock knitting, but I love the tiny cable at the back, and the long turned down cuffs (even if they seemed to go one forever…)
I was a bit annoyed by the holes that appeared when I rejoined knitting in the round after knitting the heel flap. It usually happens when I knit top-down socks, because I leave too big a gap when picking up stitches along the heel flap. I'm not sure how it can be avoided when going toe up, any ideas?
The finished socks fit really well (I knitted the smaller size), which is miraculous given my twiggy legs. I knitted some elastic into the cuffs which will hopefully stop them from sagging. The yarn (Artesano Sock) softened up a lot after blocking, and only time will tell if it stands up to much wear.
I'm looking forward to wearing them with my winter boots!

Toronto taking advantage of CBA
Nazem Kadri's lesson in how the NHL's new labour agreement could affect his career came early Thursday morning when he arrived at the Air Canada Centre for an open practice the Toronto Maple Leafs held for their fans.
One minute he looked and veteran teammate Tim Connolly was in his seat in the dressing room.
Next minute he was gone.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Tim Connolly was not on the ice at practice on Thursday and it's expected the veteran forward will be placed on waivers.
Maple Leafs Rumour: Team Interested In Bernier, Is He An Upgrade On Scrivens And Reimer?
The rumour that the Toronto Maple Leafs have an interest in trading for the Los Angeles Kings' goalie Jonathan Bernier apparently will not die despite it being a terrible idea to move assets for the 24 year old. In the summer, Andi Petrillo passed along a HockeyyInsiderr (not the funny one, at least not intentionally so) rumour that the Maple Leafs made an offer to Jonathan Bernier which didn't really make any sense because that's not how trades work. Chemmy's conclusion that it was likely a move to put a little bit of pressure on the Roberto Luongo trade negotiations with the Vancouver Canucks seemed right.
More recently, one of the last rumours to come out of the Brian Burke Era was that he was done negotiating with the Kings:
Sadly, it seems to have come back under new GM Dave Nonis. Although, you have to think that this is once again a bargaining tactic just like Gillis saying that he' be happy starting the season with two starters and multiple holes in his lineup is just posturing.
Obviously, my reaction tilted towards abject panic that the Leafs might be about to part with some useful assets for a Bernier because he's not an upgrade on what the Leafs currently have. There was some dissent on Twitter about that as they either felt he was an upgrade (he's not) or felt it was better to pay less for Bernier than Luongo. I think it's better to trade for a really good goalie than a bad goalie even if one costs $4M more and is signed through to the next Mayan Apocalypse. Especially for a team that can afford almost any possible cap penalty under the "Luongo Rule" moreso when the salary cap will continue to increase as evidenced by the massive outpouring of attention that training camps have received.
Leafs trade Lombardi to Phx for a conditional pick. Toronto also retains some salary in deal.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) January 17, 2013
What about Perry or Getzlaf
Outside the organization, another theory is that Burke was unsure about including Nazem Kadri in any potential Roberto Luongo trade. Reason? What if Anaheim decided to move Perry or Getzlaf? It's harder to do it without Kadri in return. It comes down to priorities — if you do decide to trade him, who is your first choice?
Bozak, Kadri and a second rounder? Wayyy too much for Luongo. And there's no other team willing to pay that price either.
— Damien Cox (@DamoSpin) January 16, 2013
Should the Leafs keep Kessel long term?
Asked about his expectations for a 48-game season, he added: "I don't know. Have the best year possible. Do whatever I can to help this team win."
This is obviously going to be an interesting year for Kessel for at least three main reasons.
No. 1 will be his relationship with new coach Randy Carlyle, who is notoriously tough on players who cheat in their defensive play.
I imagine Kessel could easily get $7.5-million a season on a long-term deal. But does an extension like that work for Toronto this July?

Spotlight on Research
Nurturing Touch in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Stony Brook University Hospital on Long Island, New York
By Editorial Staff
Editor's note: This periodic column keeps you abreast of the latest research documenting the benefits of massage and bodywork.Recently, Massage Today spoke with Patricia Cadolino, LMT, CIMI, facilitator of the nurturing touch massage program in the neonatal intensive care unit at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York. Below is Patricia's poster session, which was presented at the 2002 and 2003 AMTA National Conventions, followed by the interview.
A parent education program for premature or medically fragile infants in a critical-care hospital setting. This is a supportive and developmental-care program that encourages and empowers parents to provide individualized touch for their high-risk infants.
1. Hand Containment: This is the first introduction of touch providing a safe, supportive environment. When the infant cannot be held, parents are instructed to hold their infants through the portholes in the incubator.
Benefits include: Enhanced family bonding, stabilizing infants' heart rates, improved breathing patterns, and decreased oxygen needs.
2. Skin-to-Skin or Kangaroo Care: With the parent sitting in a chair, the infant, in a diaper, is placed directly on the parent's bare chest and covered with a blanket.
Benefits include: Enhanced family bonding, improved heart rate and breathing patterns, increased weight gain, improved lactation, and helps regulate body temperature.
Additional benefits of positive touch: Minimizes the negative impact of hospitalization and helps infants avoid touch aversion; reduces pain and stress from the many necessary medical procedures.
3. Preemie Massage: This is the third phase of the touch program and is applied when the infant is more medically stable, weighing at least 1,000 grams or more.
Benefits include: Increased weight gain, decreased fussiness and crying, more organized sleep patterns, and earlier discharge from the hospital.
Depending on the infant's weight and gestational age, and with medical clearance, parents are advised on the best form of touch that will most benefit their babies. These techniques emphasize the variations in premature responses. Parents are taught to read the stress and behavioral cues to avoid putting additional stress on the infant while providing safe, positive and loving communication through touch!
Interview With Patricia Cadolino
Massage Today (MT): You've been at Stony Brook for five years?
Patricia Cadolino (PC): Almost six years.
MT: Can you tell us a little bit about how things have changed from the time you started your work at the hospital until now, and discuss the evolution of your work over that period of time?
PC: Sure. I started out part-time on a research grant. It was a Ryan White research grant. Ryan White was the boy who contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion. The hospital applied for an alternative medicine grant through the [Ryan White] foundation, and in that grant was massage and acupuncture. I was hired on that grant as a massage therapist, and that is when I was working with HIV and AIDS-infected infants, drug-addicted infants, pregnant women and adolescents. The hospital went on to open their own complementary center, but it did not work out and the center was shut down; however, there were administrators that were so supportive of me and my work, and they hired me as a state employee. I was the first in New York state. It was quite the venture [for a] government hospital. Once I became a state employee, I was on the professional line, and that is how I started. From that point, I kind of just made my own way. They gave me what I needed: an office, a treatment room...
MT: So, you were hired as a state employee of the hospital in the capacity of a massage therapist?
PC: Yes. They gave me a different title as a "clinical support specialist" under the nursing division, because everything [must be] listed within specific categories and titles. That is how the administrators got me into the position. Basically, I have just worked hard in lecturing and educating, and teaching medical students.
MT: What types of lecturing and educating are you doing?
PC: All about massage. When I am in the pediatric department, I discuss what I know from my pediatric background. Otherwise, it is reviewing the benefits and the research, and how massage can be used in a hospital setting and a home setting.
MT: How would you classify the differences between using massage in a hospital setting versus a private office setting?
PC: The benefits are great while the patient is in-house, but you never do any kind of deep work while they are in-patient. And with the younger children, we try to get the parents to massage the children at home. I don't treat many younger kids out-patient here. It is mostly adults.
MT: Has the scope of what you're doing shifted from infant massage to other types of patients?
PC: It is such a mix; I wear many, many hats. My love is working with the children because I went on for further training. I have been certified for 11 years to teach baby massage, but I went on for further training to work with the premature babies. I went to the University of New Mexico, and St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., in the Tender Touch program. So, since I had been trained to do that, I went to my bosses and supervisors and said, "This is what I would love to do," and they allowed me to do it.
MT: Do you have the support you need from other staff members, or do you find that some staff members are still a bit reluctant to embrace the benefits of massage?
PC: A little bit, but it is getting so much better. I really do see a shift. I see a change happening.
MT: Do you see massage evolving into a regular practice in hospitals everywhere?
PC: Yes, I do. I'm quite proud because I worked really hard to make a lot of positive connections with some key people in the hospital, and I've made my way. I think perseverance, a lot of courage, and consistency has really catapulted me into such a different arena, such a professional arena. I'm like a fixture now, and it's really quite nice, so I will get more referrals now, but you have to remember, the hospital's huge - about 3,000 employees - so it's a very big place; still, I have made great strides over a short period of time to incorporate massage into the [hospital program].
MT: If there were a couple of areas where you wish you had more support or more feedback from your work colleagues, what would those be?
PC: Definitely more referrals. It is a state hospital, so there is always a financial piece that comes into play, and a lot of the patients can't afford it. There are a lot of services that the hospital provides for free, so I see that the staff wishes that it [were] just part of the hospital stay. [Massage] is a fee-for-service.
MT: How much does that fee usually run?
PC: It is $40 per half hour, which is very reasonable. I worked in another hospital where it was $100 a massage.
MT: Are any of these patients able to get your services covered with their insurance?
PC: Only a few. The New York State No-Fault Insurance Law states that insurance companies must pay for massage; unfortunately, you have to get into a car accident to get massage [covered].
MT: Are you still working in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)?
PC: Yes. In fact, I implemented a nurturing touch program, which is a parent-education program that deals with developmental care. Each baby is assessed, and I work with the parents on the form of touch each baby is ready for. Initially, I used to have to charge parents for this class, and I used to feel so guilty, so I again went to my administrators, presented this, and they decided to make it a part of the baby's hospital stay, so it is free of charge. That is one service that I'm really pleased with.
MT: In some regards then, at least financially, the hospital seems to be trying to work with you in as much capacity as it can. With any program, money always seems an issue.
PC: Always, right.
MT: Making massage part of the baby's stay, does the hospital incorporate the extra fees into the overall charges, or does it absorb the fees?
PC: They added it under parent education. Also, there is the staff support issue, which is how I presented it to the administrators. It's not only a beautiful benefit to the parents. There is so much involved - it's very intense. When you're dealing with the parent of a premature baby, touch-and-go. And what happens is, instinctively, the parents really shut down. There is the fear of attaching. They don't want to become attached, and it's very scary because the baby is very sick, and in that fear, they refrain from touching. There are a lot of studies that have been done on this and it's phenomenal.
So, the parents are afraid. Or, on the flipside, you'll have a parent ever so gently stroke their baby with the tips of their fingers, but neurologically the baby can't handle that and can't process it, so the baby responds in a negative way: the monitors start flaring, the baby's oxygen saturation levels drop, and the nurse will come over and say, "Mom, please don't touch the baby." Because when you touch the baby, the baby gets upset and it becomes a very negative dynamic.
Now, the mother feels more depressed because the baby didn't respond well. So, with my program, pressure is everything. You have to have moderate pressure; it's relaxed, but moderate. And it's more like just holding and containing, not so much stroking, right away. And the baby processes that beautifully; they can handle that. It's comforting to them.
MT: What is the reason for that? Why is holding and containing ok, versus stroking?
PC: It takes the baby a while to process that hold and that's why we do it in stages: because some babies can handle the stroking right away, but others can't - they get overstimulated. A full-term baby at birth is not neurologically complete. So, as you can imagine, a premature baby is way under the gun. That is why it is such a blessing that I'm there, because I'm able to work with the parents early on. They get the confidence and the know-how of how to interact with their baby in a positive way. The baby responds better and the parents feel better, and it creates a wonderful family dynamic that is a little bit healthier.
Not that this is a cure-all, obviously. And I have worked with a lot of parents that have lost their babies. But the positive note on that is, at least the parents have some time to connect with the baby in a positive way before the passing.
MT: As far as the staff education is concerned, when you begin to develop these patterns of the baby responding to the parents, does the staff respond, as well? Is the staff learning along with these parents?
PC: I have done separate work with the staff. I just offer the research and my knowledge, and offer hands-on practice. One time, one of the neonatalogists had a grandchild in the unit, and he had me go in and work with his daughter-in-law; he thought that would be a great way to get the staff to see how it works. I've seen it evolve through just the perseverance and commitment and consistency, and people see [the benefits] over time. Now, the staff is starting to show the parents hand containment as a tool.
MT: Dedication seems to be a good word to describe what you have done because you have dedicated your time and yourself to this endeavor, no matter how long it has taken.
PC: Right. And I am really quite pleased. The hospital is going to be expanding and building a brand new unit that is state-of-the-art. They have called me in to be on the steering committee to make sure that things are done for developmental care for my areas of touch [with the] lighting and sound, all for the developmental care for the babies. I am so proud of that because this program will then be a part of the team. It will be a standard of care. I am really pleased with that.
MT: It has to be really stressful for you personally, working with these distraught parents and ill babies. Do you ever find yourself becoming emotionally involved? How do you find your balance to avoid emotional burnout?
PC: I am a very sensitive person to begin with, and I, initially, would cry when the mothers cried - I couldn't help it. I have children and I was able to relate. But I knew eventually, I would have to become strong to be able to deal with this, and I have. I have gained a lot of strength over the years, and breathing and meditation gets me through it, to be honest. I have to take care of myself and replenish the energy. That's what I have found works really well for me. Over time, just developing confidence has helped, too.
I'm not going to deny that, initially, it was scary to be in the position that I was in and have that type of placement. Once I gained confidence and strength, I found it a lot easier, and now I'm a lot stronger for the parents and I'm a good support for them.
MT: Do you have any advice for those wishing to pursue something along the same lines, especially in working with a hospital? How would you advise a massage therapist to get started?
PC: Every hospital is unique. They have different financial needs. A lot of the hospitals are in trouble, so it's hard to start adding new programs, but I would say to start with the Hospital-Based Massage Network, which is run by Laura Coke. There are many wonderful books on the market on how to begin a hospital-based massage program. Just research and know your stuff before you approach the hospital administrators.
MT: And certainly persistence, as you have been very persistent and that has led greatly to your success.
PC: Right, but I also know that a lot of people that have been persistent are still finding closed doors because of financial and insurance crises. There is a crisis, right now. Hospitals are losing money and laying off employees. Here in Nassau County alone, they were laying off a couple of hundred thousand people.
MT: And yet, in the midst of some of these layoffs, you have managed to sustain. That speaks to the validity and importance of your work.
PC: Right. I also think it's [because this is] a teaching, research hospital, and I made my own way to get money for research. I've worked very hard to get positive anchors.
MT: It's almost as though you have done most of the footwork. You've taken away the responsibility from the administrators to find the resources. You've come up with the resources...you've done it all!
PC: Yes, and I think that is why they feel so blessed with me as well, because they're so overwhelmed. They work 24/7 and they're overwhelmed with it; that's how the dance has been successful.
MT: Do you have any current research projects underway?
PC: Yes, I still have the research working with pediatric oncology patients, and we are teaching the parents how to massage them at home. And we're also working with the parents to do mind/body work - we're taking a look at reducing the parents' anxiety and stress, as well as that of the child. We'll be looking at pain and sleep scales to reduce the anxiety, and we'll be looking at cortisol levels for both parents and children.
We are working on another [project], as well, looking to work with cardiac patients, since the hospital has a heart center. We're currently in the discussion stages and planning, and it's looking good.
MT: Do you have anything else you'd like to add?
PC: Well, I'll just continue to make my way. The only thing I would really like to do this year is more in-services, more grand rounds. The more that I can educate the staff, nurses and doctors, the better off I feel that I'll be.
My favorite is the medical students. I find that working with the med students so early on really gives them a positive twist on massage. It is all going to roll and hopefully, they'll incorporate it into their practices, so that massage will become a standard of care. That's what I find rewarding: working with the medical students before they go out into private practice. I would like to see massage become the standard of care, and get it into more hospitals. And the same thing applies to the nurturing touch program. I'd like to see more intensive care units around the country have these programs for the parents and for parent education.
MT: Thank you so much for your time, Patti.
PC: You are so welcome!

Several former Broncos are among 26 modern era semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's class of 2015.
Longtime Broncos Steve Atwater, Terrell Davis, and Karl Mecklenburg made the cut, as did John Lynch and Ty Law (gold star to anyone who remembered that he was a Bronco for seven games in 2009).
15 of the 26 will be named finalists on January 8, and inductees will be announced on January 31.
Legendary corner Champ Bailey signed a one-day contract to retire as a Denver Bronco on Tuesday. Bailey spent the first five years of his career in Washington and the next ten in Denver.
After signing with New Orleans in April, he was among the team's final preseason cuts.
The future HOFer and ROFer was as calm and collected during his retirement presser as he was throughout his career.
The Broncos made two pairs of corresponding practice squad moves on Tuesday, adding a pair of players who were drafted in the sixth round of the 2012 Draft: safety Josh Bush and well traveled offensive lineman Mark Asper.
To make room for Bush and Asper, Denver cut defensive end Zach Thompson and wideout Douglas McNeil.
Two veteran running backs were dumped on Tuesday, but the Broncos - whose own running back corps is decimated by injury - are not interested in either of them.
Pittsburgh expectedly cut LeGarrette Blount, less than a day after he'd left the field during the Steelers' MNF win at Tennessee.
Continue reading "Running backs LeGarrette Blount, Ben Tate cut; Broncos not interested"
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Pittsburgh (7-4) scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to slip out of Tennessee (2-8) with a 27-24 victory on Monday night.
Le'Veon Bell scored once and piled up 222 yards on 35 touches.
Titans QB Zach Mettenberger threw two touchdown passes, including an 80-yarder to Nate Washington just before halftime, but his first-quarter interception went for a pick-six by William Gay.
Continue reading "Julius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders may play against Dolphins"
Tragedy again struck the Broncos on Monday, as practice squad quarterback Zac Dysert became the third player to lose a parent in recent months.
Carla Dysert died at 56 on Monday morning in a three-car accident in Harrod, Ohio. Dysert's SUV was struck head on by an oncoming car that had lost control in slippery conditions.

The NFLPA says it will appeal the ban.
Emmanuel Sanders tweeted out a selfie to prove he wasn't dead.
Someone took to Wikipedia to declare Sanders done after being hit by Rams safety Rodney McLeod.
Date and place of death: November 16, 2014 in St. Louis, MO, right under his smiling photo.
PFF, ESPN, and CBS preview the matchup. Enjoy the game!
Good Morning, Broncos fans! There's no getting around it - yesterday was a terrible day for the Broncos all around.
For the second time in three weeks, Peyton Manning was awful, the line play was poor, the defense didn't do enough, the punting sucked as usual, and the entire team appeared uninspired and outcoached.
Julius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, and Montee Ball were injured, and that's not even the worst of it.

Yeah...and Alyosha has made it pretty clear what will happen if he ever catches up with Drake again.
The thing with the Academy, though, was that IMHO the institution was corrupt
the war began. TNG's "The First Duty" (which is our first look into Academy corruption) occurred before the war. I find myself thinking of these schools in our time, to include military academies, where there are secret societies, authorities turning a blind eye to hazing and abuse, and similar things. I suspect the Academy to be the same thing.
I also think Alyosha's experiences there are an additional reason he chose the science track. He saw that the worst of the corruption was focused on what was back then the command track (as opposed to STO's tactical track). He wanted nothing to do with things like Nova Squadron or Red Squad.
I think a culture change happened in Starfleet, though, sometime on the Path to 2409 (
). I wish we'd seen more about it, but it seems that Starfleet eventually realized that commanders of many backgrounds could be capable starship commanders, and allowed them to keep their department colors even in the big chair. Have I missed where that's addressed in STO's lore? I would be curious to see it if it has.

Product Information
- Angry Birds Pumpkin Push-Ins from Paper Magic Group
- We recommend this product for ages 2 and up
What It Is
If you're an Angry Birds fan looking for a new way to decorate your pumpkin for Halloween, then you'll like the Angry Birds Pumpkin Push-Ins. Just push the plastic parts into a nine-inch pumpkin to create a familiar Angry Birds pumpkin character, such as the King Pig and the Red Bird. Each is sold separately.
Is It Fun?
The Angry Birds Pumpkin Push-Ins are really cute. It seems designed for kids who want to have a terrific, themed, finished look to their pumpkin. And it seems ideal for parents who may not want their kids handling cutting tools.
Who It's For
Angry Birds Pumpkin Push-Ins are for ages 2 and up. Because it is so hard to push in the body parts, this is definitely not something a 2-year-old could do. Young children will need mom and dad to put the pieces on the pumpkin, especially if carving holes is involved.
What To Be Aware Of
As noted, even though it seems that no carving is involved, we found it very difficult to simply push in the body parts. We had to carve tiny holes or at least stab the pumpkin with a sharp tool where we wanted the body parts to go before we were able to get the body parts pushed into the pumpkin.
Parents definitely need to be involved, and that can be frustrating for kids who want to feel like they're doing this themselves.
This may seem like a toy item, but it's really more for decoration. If you want your child to be able to play with the Angry Birds Pumpkin Push-Ins character by mixing and matching where the body parts go, you'll need to choose a small and lightweight pumpkin so that your preschooler will be able to lift the pumpkin and move it around.

Becoming Wise in the Spirit
A sequel to Ford's The Shape of Living, The Drama of Living could be characterized as sapiential theology—reflection on theology that draws out its wisdom for daily living. Ford weaves together a mélange of sources, especially the Gospel of John and the poetry of his friend Michael O'Siadhail.

We gather that some of our readers still don't want to talk Christology with us. But it's because of Jesus that the church has trouble in the world.
Wisdom from His Journals
Thomas Merton poured out his restless, searching, and wondering soul in his journals, which add up to more than a million words. Another monk once asked him why he wrote everything down. "If you don't, it is lost," Merton replied.
Last week our new hosted blogger, Drew Hart, took up a challenge to name "10 books that have 'stayed' with me or have had a long lasting impact." The week before Richard Lischer lamented how readers often "read too many books and return to too few." As for the books worth revisiting, they're those that "probe the heart or expand the reader's vision."
I got inspired to create a list of books that have stayed with me that I've also come back to because they've probed my heart and expanded my vision.

Eggplant on the wafflebaker! Try it.
- scuzzo Oct 2, 2007 12:11 PM
In my search for fun low carb foods, I recently tried this. I slice raw eggplant about 1/3 inch thick. Dipped in beaten egg, then in finely grated parm. I added fresh mixed herbs to the cheese too. I then put the slices in my wafflebaker, brushed with olive oil.
I think it turned out awesome. The eggplant got fully cooked and soft inside and crisp and crunchy on the outside! And it readily assumed the waffle shape during the cooking process. Often low carb foods are short on the crunch factor. It's also fun to find another reason to use the wafflebaker. And I think these looked really cool! I only made these, but what a nice side dish for a meal!
I also think this would work great with zuchinni or summer squash. I'll try that next.
Let me know if you try it!
re: Olivia
It works on the George Foreman, which is basically a panini press on steroids.
re: scuzzo
I do have both, so maybe I will give it a shot. One more dumb question. Do you slice the eggplant in rounds, or lengthwise? I assume in rounds?
re: Spencer
breast meat seems unsuitable to conform like the veggies to the press. maybe if pounded like scalloppini? let us know if you try it.
re: alkapal
Scuzzo did a chicken waffle with ground chicken.
re: Mellicita
wow, that scuzzo! so creative! i hadn't seen the chick waf.
re: Spencer
Would probably be dry.
re: Spencer
I have seen recipes for "waffling" pieces of bread on the waffle maker to make sandwiches. There's a recipe for something else like that on epicurious. What else would work? Any other vegies?
re: alkapal
oh yeah these do work on a panin press and they are excellent. I add cooked chicken, or steak, cheese, onions, peppers, cilantro a little salsa or tomatoes and then press. They are super good.
I tried zuchnini today, and it turned out great! I just love this technique. It's really fun. Cool looking, tender inside, crisp outside.
re: saraeanderson
I'll have to try to get a good photo!
re: scuzzo
CHers are nothing if not creative!
I can't wait to try this, for seem reason seems way easier than frying eggplant. And way less oil of course.
I'm going to try with and without coating, I think - just brushed with olive oil. Also someone posted to another thread about slicing & salting eggplant, then wringing it out energetically for best fried eggplant... might be interesting this way too.
a fairly wide slice of fresh pepper and a large portabello mushroom (minus stem) also work great in a waffle iron.
thanks for reminding me!
I used a panini press instead of a waffle iron (my waffle iron is old and hard to clean) and it worked quite well (although they did not look quite as cute). I tried your method with and without the cheese and both were tasty. Thanks for the idea! I love that it does not require very much oil at all since eggplant is so much like a sponge.
re: rgd
I'm going to make latkes on the waffle maker, but in the meantime, got the idea to make fritters - maybe I should say "flitters"? - on it. I'd been thinking about uses for besan, as I asked about on a separate thread. There was coleslaw, another of my secret ingredients, in the fridge: mixed coleslaw, scallion, tiny bits of salami, and grated 4-cheese mix with enough besan (chickpea flour) to form a fritter, then onto the wafflemaker, about a heaping soup-spoon's worth, flattened to make a 3" diameter "flitter". It took a little longer than a waffle would, no surprise. I let them get well-browned. Outsides were crispy, interior soft. Very tasty. Probably should come up with some sort of honey-mustard sauce.
I also want to try par-cooking 1/4" thick Yukon Gold potato slices and then waffling them without a coating. If it works, they'd be a less-oily version of waffle fries.
re: greygarious
love the "flitters"! ;-)
I played with this idea using Red Garnet sweet potatoes this morning. It does take more prep time with this type of vegetable. I had a rather large one, so I boiled it for about a half hour then sliced and coated. The egg/cheese/herb variation tasted very hearty. One variation I preferred the most was without the egg, sprinkled with brown sugar after it was 'wafflized'. I have a Belgian waffle maker and it worked well. Thanks for the inspiration!
I made waffle eggplant slices twice over the weekend and I'll never fry eggplant again. Thanks for the idea and I'll now try other veggies like sweet potato and zucchini!
I just saw another post about Beet Roesti, which is grated raw beets with flour and rosemary. I'll bet that would be great cooked in the waffle baker! I'll try it soon.
This is just too cool! Missed the post the first time around. Just now tried it and it's truly awesome.
Also give it a try with hashbrowns/rosti. I've been hooked on them since a post last year by Maria Lorraine.
I love my waffle iron; it is a family heirloom now in its third generation of use. The cord is 1/2" thick, with a braided cloth exterior sheathing, leading to the Bakelite plastic plug. Thanks, mom. :)
re: FoodFuser
Mine is an old Norwegian Hoyang cast iron waffle iron that goes on the stove burner and make heart shaped waffles. Heart shaped, eggplant, I love it!
re: FoodFuser
hey food fuser, you know your chicken-pounding technique? (till "almost thread-like") -- what about a little chick filet on the waffle-maker, too! oh, with a light dip in a light batter, all those little crispy edges......
ooooohhhhh, it is sounding awe-some!
good deal on a belgian waffle-maker. i already have an old-square one, but this one is neat! http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?...
re: alkapal
What about those huge portabella mushrooms? Two together with cheese inside?
gosh, I don't have a waffle maker but, I do have a forman and panini press...
I'm about to pull out the press. What a great idea!
re: chef chicklet
mushrooms sound heavenly. don't forget the garlic and evoo inside the 'shroom. maybe some panko inside for a surprise crunch. oh, i can almost smell it now! yowza!!
re: alkapal
shhhh..... or some crumbled bacon?
re: alkapal
To tweak your idea just a bit, which I think might develop more roasted eggplant flavor: cut two quarter-inch thick eggplant slices and put them together with nothing in between.
Waffle them and remove, laying them done-side up. Put on your cheese and tomato, sandwiching the filling between the two cooked sides and re-waffle with the raw eggplant facing out.
re: greygarious
Totally, totally awesome!
I want to give this a whirl tonight. Has anyone had any difficulties cleaning the waffle iron? I do actually use ours for waffles, and I wouldn't want to get a olive oil/parmesan taste in my sweet waffles. My waffle maker is not immerse-able, but it does have a tefflon coating. Usually, with waffles, I just wipe it clean...
re: roxlet
Mine is also teflon and non-immersable. Although I used it for many a sandwich that leaked cheese or mustard at the edges, this always wiped out easily. After making something savory, I turn it on its side, at the edge of the sink, and swab it with a toothbrush and soapy water, then use the spray hose with the faucet open only enough for a weak spray. Probably all that would be needed would be a wipe with a moistened paper towel, but I was being thorough.
re: roxlet
Another cleaning tip...
When you're finished cooking and have turned off the wafflemaker, insert a wet paper towel in between the halves. As the device cools, the damp softens any food bits up and you can easily sponge it up.
FINALLY tried yer eggplant idea tonight on my dude's Belgium waffle iron- FANFRIGGINTASTIC!!!... Though the parmesean coating didn't work out well (a little bit of stickage, a little bit of burn), merely brushing both sides of the jap. egplant with olive oil, s&p yield excellent results. I also waffled green tomatoes (FABULOUS!) , and made napoleon stacks with eggplant, green tomatoes, red tomatoes, homemade ricotta, and a rough chop herb/garlic oil. My dude and I agree, this was the best meal we've eaten at home in a long time (and without having to heat up the kitchen). Can't wait to try new things. Thanks so much!
Bumping this because there's a current thread about how to prep eggplant for eggplant parmesan, and for yet another idea.
Someone posted that the current Cooks Illustrated has a tip for making crispy hash browns in the wafflemaker. It occurred to me that this might work for crisping the edges of homemade or canned corned beef hash.
re: greygarious
I tried this out and found it awfully slow going, being limited to making two eggplant slices at a time, and requiring attention every few minutes.

Chigurupati Varaprasad is its chairman
The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) has formed a committee under the chairmanship of Chigurupati Varaprasad, MLC, to prepare a roadmap for formation of an 'education trust' with a corpus of at least Rs.5 crores to strengthen infrastructure in the VMC-run schools and also support the higher education of financially poor students coming out with flying colours in SSC.
The committee was formed on Friday at the end of a brainstorming session with political leaders, intellectuals, educationists, businessmen and representatives of voluntary organisations on how to find a permanent solution to improve infrastructure in VMC-run schools and extend a helping hand to bright students of these schools to study Intermediate in corporate educational institutions.
Krishna Industrial and Agricultural Exhibition Society president G.V. Rama Rao will be the convener of the committee, which will have as members Ramesh Jain, G.D.V. Prasad, Manas Nanda Kishore, Keerthi, Ch. Mallikharjuna Rao and K. Durga Rao.
The brainstorming session held in a star hotel was attended by Lagadapati Rajagopal, MP, Mayor M.V. Ratna BIndu and Commissioner G. Ravi Babu.
MP's call
Mr. Rajagopal said that the city had been an education hub for a long time, thanks to the exceptional performance of students in various national-level entrance examinations every year. Explaining about the financial assistance being given to the meritorious students of VMC-run schools for the last three years by the Lanco Foundation, Mr. Rajagopal called upon other philanthropists and charitable organisations to come forward to form the trust.
Ms. Ratna Bindu said that the trust would take care of the educational needs of the poor students and also help them pursue Intermediate in corporate colleges.
She expressed hope that the new trust would play a crucial role in developing infrastructure in municipal schools.
Mr. Ravi Babu pointed out that the corporation had been helping a number of students, but poor students after completing SSC were finding it difficult to join Intermediate as the fee in corporate colleges was high. There was no government scheme to help them during these two years of study. He felt that the vacancies could be the reason for the poor performance of students in Urdu medium schools of the VMC.
Pat for VMC
Mr. Varaprasad praised the VMC for making efforts to help poor students. He suggested to the Commissioner to focus on the problem of students dropping out from the schools even before reaching SSC, which was actually on the rise.
Those who attended the meeting came out with various suggestions and measures on issues related to moral education and quality education.

Are you REALLY ready for change?

- Want me to speak at your conference or business organization? Click Here.
Ready for Change? Then read on…
I'm not talking about feeling positive for a day or two and then going back to the "way it was," feeling that things are just not right; feeling that you are blocked or in a negative pattern.
Working with me, changes occur and last.
Working with me, you will be challenged to see your life differently – see your issues differently – see your home differently.
Our homes are a reflection of what is going on inside of us. They provide us with a simple way to connect to the energy around us through vibrations.
"You are who you hang with," my mother used to say. Perhaps yours' did, too! And they were right! But think about this for a moment:
You ARE where you live!
If your home's energy has a low energy, you will resonate with it.
If you have low energy, your home will also resonate with it. And on and on, until you break the pattern and make a shift.
When you work with me, we'll discuss what changes you want to make (really want to make) and I'll give you some recommendations for your home as well as cultivating your own personal chi.
What are your goals, your ambitions? How can you shift the energy in your home to help you reach those goals? I will help you answer that.
Start right now! If you REALLY WANT CHANGE in your LIFE, call me or schedule a time to start looking forward!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

They are asking to contact them in 10 days do i need a Attorney?is it a bad idea to talk to them?I didnt know i couldn't receive benefits that way for medicaid.Did NOT receive cash benefits.
You should respond to their request within the 10 days. It would preferable for you to speak with an attorney before then.
You need to meet with them or they will probably cut off your benefits. You should probably talk to a local criminal defense attorney before meeting with the welfare department because they could be looking at you for committing welfare fraud.
Good luck.
Yes, you need to meet with them. Perhaps you can contact your local legal aid society for legal assistance.

REKS - Ignorance Is Bliss
Artist: REKS
Featuring: Termanology
Producer: Numonics
Album: REBELutionary
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 7 votes )
They say that Ignorance is Bliss, and it's true, as long as your idea of bliss is being ignorant. The rest of us prefer our music mind-expanding, not mind-shortening; in other words, we prefer REKS. For his latest song selection the Boston emcee links up with the increasingly ever-present Numonics for a beat that's simultaneously jazzy, bouncy and faintly menacing, giving REKS a dope canvas to paint his always complex wordplay on. With the always dependably ill Termanology jumping on board (what up Lawrence, MA?) for a tightly wound guest verse, I've got a feeling that REKS upcoming collaborative album with Numonics, REBELutionary, is going to prove to be blissfully intelligent when it drops July 24.

Metro Health and OAM expand downtown surgery center
Caroline MacGregor
November 15, 2012 | WGVU
Metro Health will also add approximately 10,000 square feet of space to expand heart and vascular services, and Metro Health orthopedic physician services, in adjoining space.
The surgery center will be renamed the Metro Health OAM Surgery Center as the health system continues to expand.
President and CEO of Metro Health, Mike Faas, says demand for Metro Health and OAM services is strong and continues to grow since the surgery center opened in 2009.
"We feel blessed to have found a great partner, not only in Orthopaedic Associates but also the large OB/Gyn group of plus 20 doctors that are the owners of the Women's Health Center along with Pinnacle Construction company."
Faas says partnerships are key to the center's success.
"This is really a way of showing, not just Metro, but the greater community that partnerships do work and if everyone gets in it for the right reasons: increased access, improved quality and great patient experiences being great; good things happen and the good thing this time was additional growth and our need for a 4th surgery and another 10,000 square feet for other services."
The Metro Health OAM Surgery Center is located at 555 Mid Towne Street, near the corner of Michigan Street and College Avenue, also known as Medical Mile or Pill Hill. The center features three state-of-the-art operating suites and is the only surgical center in the Grand Rapids-area focused solely on orthopedic surgeries.

Using a cream, serum or lotion that contains such antioxidants as vitamin C, green tea extract or ferulic acid can make your skin healthier. "Antioxidants really prevent aging by quenching free radicals, but they also decrease inflammation that can lead to wrinkles," says Leslie Baumann, M.D., author of The Skin Type Solution. And if you apply them during the day, antioxidants can block damage from any UV light that gets through your sunscreen.
