Simply horrifying.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Escape from Camp 14: One man's remarkable odyssey from North Korea to freedom in the West (Kindle Edition)
Once you've started this book, it's very difficult to put down.
How this man survived the brutality of a 'Total Control' North Korean prison camp is impossible to conceive. From watching classmates being beaten to death and his mother and brother being executed, to being tortured over hot coals at the age of 13 and suffering near starvation for the first 24 years of his life, to the soul-destroying work ethic and unparalleled cruelty of the prison guards, how Shin Dong-hyuk is still alive, let alone now living happily in America, is breathtaking. His story is heartbreaking from the very beginning, yet his ability to keep on going in the face of absolute punishment will inspire all who read about it. The worst day you've ever had, will likely pale in comparison to a normal day in the life of this guy.
Blaine Harden has done a great job of presenting the details, and obviously cultivated a strong relationship with Shin. The book is short but there's more than enough in there for you to appreciate the gravity of the situation in North Korea, and its relationship with both South Korea and China.
Worth every penny.

The Kindle version is definitely available, because I bought it on March 20th! It was published on March 17th.
It's just the hardcover that's not released until March 29th.
Make sure you click through to the kindle version of the book (it has its own page), which can be accessed using in the 'formats' box on the hardcover book page.

if you've seen his interviews, he is not "happy" and he states he will never be "happy" although he is living comfortably physically. he says he suffers in mental anguish everyday b/c of the things he went through and he just has to deal with it. i don't think you can ever recover from that kind of childhood.

Yes you're right, he'll never know true happiness, his past will haunt him forever. I think living 'comfortably' would have been a better way to put it.

The Chinese bound the feet of girls to restrict the growth of their feet. In Escape From Camp 14, the North Koreans are revealed to practice a system to constrict man's soul. Shin was born into a prison camp in which he was punished from birth for political 'sins' supposedly committed by his forbears. Under total control, with all sense of family nullified, the word love totally unknown, through brutal torture, starvation and with every good human impulse extinguished and deformed, and totally isolated psychologically, Shin manages to escape his horrific prison and struggles to find a new life amidst a normality which is totally alien to him. Only the stirrings, and later the storms, of his conscience remain as the tattered dregs of his humanity. Politically this is an important book because it takes us into a reality inaccessible to all but the inmates, bringing the atrocities committed by North Korea before the lens of the world--atrocities that even exceed Auschwitz in their scope and duration. Psychologically it stands alone as a study of the effects of extreme manipulation and cruel dehumanization on the developing human psyche. Like a psychological quadraplegic Shin has found a new life in America and amidst his struggles to learn and adapt to another way, has come to find a redemption for his suffering by sharing his story to a world which needs to be made aware of the utter depravity of the North Korean ethos. Shin, I can only say that since I have read your story you, and the North Korean people, are in my prayers--only God can redeem the chaos and rebuild the human hearts so horribly damaged!

Jack, I don't understand how you can possibly compare the black experience to what is happening in North Korea. Yes, slavery was a horrible thing, but I think the way North Korea completely crushes and destroys a human soul through horrific physical, mental, and emotional torture/cruelty is far, far worse. You are comparing apples and oranges.
In reply to an earlier post on Apr 25, 2013 3:53:43 PM PDT
Jack says:
JL, you are sadly ignorant of American history. You think it is fun to be whipped for hours, opening the skin on the back to raw flesh until you bleed to death? When plantation owners did this, all of the slaves were required to watch. You don't think this creates lasting psychological scars? Slaves in America were not simply unpaid workers. They were the victims or horrible psychological and physical abuse much worse than the average Korean. And this happened for generations for over 200 years, not just since 1950.
In reply to an earlier post on Apr 25, 2013 6:02:36 PM PDT
JL says:
I'm not at all ignorant of American history, but you obviously don't know how to read. Did I at any point say being whipped, etc was "fun"? No, I didn't. I think you have a hangup about slavery. And I completely disagree with your assertion that it was any worse than what's happening in North Korea. Regardless, it's completely idiotic to argue about which version of torture is worse. Does it really matter?? Torture/abuse/murder isn't ever good, so why did you even make such a stupid comparison in the first place?

Mineola High School freshman Awdifa Abdin was recently honored by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers. In a national contest with more than 250,000 submissions, she was recognized with a Regional Award in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards of 2014.
Abdin received the Silver Key award in the category of flash fiction for her work titled Melodic Medicine, which is about a girl who helps her sister with cancer by playing music. She received a pin and certificate.

Eleven Wheatley School students experienced a recent vacation they will never forget. They traveled to Paris and the south of France accompanied by Wheatley teachers Jean François Henley and Laura Gurick. The group spent three days touring the sites of Paris including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the Louvre while practicing their language skills with the locals.
In movies like Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, a parent's very real nightmare of inadequate child care is at the crux of the film's storyline. So the promise of a new website with intentions to revolutionize babysitting offered new hope at the party recently held at Melville's Jewel Restaurant to celebrate its launch.
Babysitting Barter has roughly 1,000 babysitters and 2,700 parents connected to its website nationwide, according to CEO and founder Brian Mannix.
To celebrate the diverse cultures within the community, Mineola High School held its seventh annual Multi-Cultural evening on March 4. Parents, students, neighbors and "foodies" showed up at the event to savor world cuisine, broaden their cultural boundaries and get a glimpse of the diversity within the community.
Elsa Coelho, a world language teacher at Mineola High School and program designer, said "our community is extremely diverse. Celebrating the diverse cultures is very important as it helps to better understand and enhance the comfort with people of different race, culture , background and beliefs. Through this evening's events, we are able to open up our students eyes to the global village we live in."
Residents in the Mineola School District may or may not need to pony up more in taxes as a result of a proposed exemption for veterans. Across New York State, school districts are being met with this special exemption, which provides three tiers of tax breaks based on whether or not they are a veteran, saw combat or suffered a disability. It's possible to qualify for all three.
While a similar exemption already exists at the county level, the state left individual school districts to decide if it would be in the best interest of the taxpaying community.
Everyone has role models. People to look up to. Someone you respect, admire and aspire to be like in some way. For Mineola High School junior Kelly Behan, her role model is her brother, Tom.
"I have always looked up to my brother growing up," she said. "He is hardworking, motivated in sports, dedicated in school, while still managing to have a social life. He had an enjoyable and memorable high school experience and continues to succeed in college. I hope that one day, I can be as successful as him."
Michelle Rodrigues, a Mineola sophomore, took the traditional approach of choosing her role mode: one of her parents.

The Irish American Society of Nassau Suffolk and Queens, located on Willis Avenue in Mineola, announced that the 64th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade will begin at 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 2 behind the Nassau County Court House off Old Country Road. It will proceed up Mineola Boulevard to Jericho Turnpike and end at Jericho Turnpike and Willis Avenue.
First grade students in Maureen Reyhanian's class at Meadow Drive School recently celebrated the completion of their personal narratives. Following weeks of learning how to develop the beginning, middle and end of a story while incorporating relevant details, each student wrote a personal narrative about a notable event in time.
To celebrate the completion of their projects, the first graders held an Author's Tea and invited family to hear their finished pieces, with topics ranging from going to the movies to Superstorm Sandy. Finished products will also be submitted to the Nassau Reading Council's Young Author's Contest.

ATLANTA – An American aid worker infected with Ebola arrived Tuesday in Atlanta, joining a second patient being given an experimental treatment that has never before been tested on humans.
Nancy Writebol, 59, traveled from Monrovia, Liberia, to Emory University Hospital, just downhill from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She arrived two days after Kent Brantly, a doctor with whom she had worked in Liberia and who also contracted Ebola, showed up for treatment.
The differences were stark in how they went from the ambulance to Emory, which has a highly specialized isolation unit. While Brantly, 33, was able to walk with assistance into the hospital, Writebol – covered from head to toe in a protective suit – was wheeled in on a stretcher.
Still, the 59-year-old Writebol was described as weak but showing signs of improvement.
A week ago we were thinking about making funeral arrangements for Nancy, her husband, David Writebol, said in a statement read by the president of SIM USA, the aid group with which she was working in Liberia. Now we have a real reason to be hopeful.
Brantly and Writebol were both infected despite taking precautions as they treated Ebola patients in West Africa.
The treatment, called ZMapp, was developed with U.S. military funding by a San Diego company, using antibodies harvested from lab animals injected with parts of the Ebola virus. Tobacco plants are being used to make the treatment.
It's impossible to know whether the drug saved these workers, CDC Director Tom Frieden emphasized. Every medicine has risks and benefits, he said. Until we do a study, we don't know if it helps, if it hurts, or if it doesn't make any difference.

Leveille Named WCHA Player of the Week
Feb. 26, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS- Sophomore goaltender Amanda Leveille earned her fourth WCHA Defensive Player of the Week award of the season this week, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association announced. Leveille and the Gophers shut out Minnesota Duluth in two 6-0 wins last weekend.
Leveille earned her 12th and 13th shutouts of the season as No. 1 Minnesota swept the Bulldogs last weekend. She combined for 26 saves in the two games against Minnesota Duluth, including holding UMD scoreless on eight power plays (seven shots). Leveille made 16 saves in Friday's 6-0 win before stopping 10-of-10 Bulldog shots in Saturday's 6-0 win.
The Kingston, Ontario, native is now on a three-game shutout streak and is riding 194:37 consecutive shutout minutes over four games, including 14:42 (Wisconsin, Feb. 14), 60:00 (Wisconsin, Feb. 15), 59:57 (UMD, Feb. 21) and 59:58 (UMD, Feb. 22). She has made 57-consecutive saves as well.
Leveille ranks second in the nation with a 1.07 goals against average and third in the nation with a .951 save percentage. She leads the WCHA with a 1.03 goals against average and .953 save percentage in 28 league games. Leveille leads the nation with a .956 winning percentage (32-1-1) and 13 shutouts.
In only her sophomore season, Leveille has already made her mark in the Gopher recordbooks. She currently ranks fourth in career shutouts (16) and seventh in career saves (781). She is sixth in goaltender career wins (35). Leveille's numbers this season put her third with 32 wins in a single season, fourth with 697 saves in a single season, fourth with a 1.07 goals against average, second with a .951 save percentage and second with 13 shutouts in a single season.
Leveille and the Gophers return to Ridder Arena to host St. Cloud State in the first round of the WCHA playoffs this weekend. Puck drop is 7:07 p.m. CT Friday and 4:07 p.m. CT Saturday. If necessary, game three of the best-of-three series will be held at 4:07 p.m. CT Sunday.

The house is too quiet!
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 08-30-2014 - 10:33am
Yesterday was drop-off day. My ex drove since his DW has a bigger car (she didn't come). The U is about 2 hours from home. When we got there we were in a very long line of cars that snaked through campus, I assume to keep traffic off the man road from backing up--that was the only bad part. at one point, they had students handing out snack bags of water, apples, cookies and nuts. When we got to the dorm, they had moving men (not students) there with bins to unload the car and they brought everything right into the room while we moved on to a parking lot. The dorm is in a complex for honors students (5 dorms--the one John is in is just for freshmen) and it's only about 2 yrs old so it's nice and still shiny new, unlike my DD's experience at the same U in a 15 story high rise. Then we went to lunch in the cafeteria--I want to go there just to eat. I can't believe the huge selection of food, compared to my college days--I don't even know if we had 2 choices for dinner or just one and there was no such thing as a salad bar. They really emphasize healthy food (no soda and dessert is there but small portions and not emphasized) but you could choose from Asian, pizza, burgers, pasta, tacos, sushi and on & on.
I think he was a little nervous but trying not to show it, like who will I eat with? although his roommate was there so I'm sure they will eat together. He had an advisory meeting at 3:00 and then some kind of induction into the honors program at 6:00 and then the dorm was having a get to know you type party at night. Monday is his birthday so at least that will give me an excuse to call!
Oh and I got home and he has a notice to appear for jury duty in Federal court in Oct.--this is after getting a notice for jury duty for state court last year during the school year that I had to postpone (and then when the day came in the summer, they said they didn't need him). Of course I will ask for an excuse which they must grant because they said if you are a college student, send a copy of your schedule. But I don't understand how he got so lucky on this one--I have only been called twice in 30 years.

Summer travel doesn't have to break the bank. We asked pro wanderer and OneTravel Twitter chat co-host Kae Lani Kennedy to share her best tips for finding budget-friendly attractions, favorite U.S. cities, and the best deal she's ever snagged.
And if you like what you see here, don't forget to join @OneTravel and @aTravelBroad for a special Twitter party on budget travel across the U.S. (July 10th, 2014 at 2pm EST). It'll be chock full of tips, tricks, and deals. Follow #OneTravelChat to participate. We can't wait to celebrate what every American loves: good deals!
What's your favorite music to listen to/books to read while on the road/in-flight?
When I'm not sleeping or watching an in-flight movie I usually jam to a variety of folk bands. There's Two Gallants, Shakey Graves, Frank Turner, Katzenjammer; they all have a traveling vagabond vibe. In terms of reading, I enjoy comic books; Saga written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Fiona Staples is my favorite at the moment. However, I did read Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns). I milked that book over the course of 12 flights between February and March earlier this year. I'm a little devastated that I finished it, especially because I've got a 10-hour flight to Alaska coming up this fall!
When/why did you start blogging about travel and what has been your favorite post to date?
It happened by accident. I moved to Germany for school so I set up a blog for my family to keep up with all of my adventures abroad. I posted my stories, photographs and things that I learned, but mom and dad weren't the only ones who were reading my blog. Eventually other websites began asking me to contribute stories and the more I wrote, the more I felt fulfilled so I began to pursue it as a career. It took a while and a lot of consistency and dedication to build up to this point, but it was worth it!
As for my favorite post to date… This one's hard! I've got over four years' worth of content at this point! I'm going to be corny and say that my favorite post to date is one of my latest. It's a two-part post discussing organic experiences I encountered in Barcelona that gave me a true sense of the Barcelonian spirit and their dedication to the community. You can read Part 1 here.
Tell us about your first travel experience.
I did not travel much as a child but my parents and I used to take a lot of road trips to the Amish Country in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, about two hours west of Philadelphia. Summers were filled with buggy rides, churning butter and trying to learn the Pennsylvania German dialect. Some kids might have thought that was lame but I enjoyed learning about the culture.
What are your favorite U.S. cities and why?
Other than my hometown of Philadelphia, I have to say that I was most surprised by Austin, Texas and the very social community that has been bred there. Deemed as the "Live Music Capitol of the World" there's never a shortage of good shows to choose from. Pair that with the fleet of fancy food trucks, unique bars and restaurants and the plethora of adventurous outdoorsy activities, it's a culture that encourages going out and making great experiences.
What's the best deal you've ever gotten and how did you snag it?
Around the holidays in 2011 I was waiting to board a Southwest flight from Philadelphia to Boston. One of the flight attendants announced that they would be giving away one free flight to anywhere in the continental US to the person who got up and sang a holiday song over the PA system. I didn't even hesitate. I ran up to the desk, snatched the microphone and sang my own personal rendition of (There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays. And that is how my big mouth scored me a free flight on Southwest.
How do you fund your time on the road?
Most of my income comes from writing infographics and publishing articles, but I have been known to pick up random projects whenever I can. I've photographed luxury condominiums, I provide graphic design services, I've tested Apps and I also do a lot of Marketing and PR consulting.
What are your travel essentials and how do you keep from packing too much?
I have a bunch of rules about packing – all of which I do not follow. I'm the worst culprit when it comes to packing too much. But there are a few essentials that I am sure to pack for every trip. Those items are my camera, my journal, a first aid kit and my flask.
What tips do you have for young travelers who have a small budget to work with?
I suggest joining a community of other young travelers, whether it be locally or online. Being active in these communities is a wonderful way to connect with others who are passionate about travel. Some will open up their homes to guests and couchsurfers while others are willing to carpool on road trips. Communities who are willing to host and/or split the cost of travel present great ways to save money while traveling.
Do you have any recommendations for budget-friendly attractions around the U.S.?
Historic attractions in colonial cities like Philadelphia, Williamsburg and Boston are often free or have low entrance fees. National and State Parks are always budget-friendly options but you should mark your calendars for Free Entrance Days in the National Parks and National Park Week; designated days during the year where national parks across America are open to the public, free of charge!

A Dinner Table Mouthful! How to Say 'Bon Appétit' in 15 Languages Across EuropeComments: 0Rating: 0 / 0
The French phrase, "Bon appétit," is often used as a substitute for the lack of an English phrase of the same meaning. While you might hear, "Enjoy your meal," Bon appétit is one of the most common ways of greeting someone before they chow down. As most of the country gets ready to have a Thanksgiving feast, in case you have a few at your table who don't speak English or French for that matter, it is useful to know how to wish someone a good meal in some of France's neighbors.

County and State Partner For Local Connectivity in Iowa
In 2010, the Iowa Communications Network received a $16.2 million Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP). The project will connect all 99 counties in the state by upgrading an existing 3,000 mile network (PDF of the project summary). The state plans to bring 10 Gbps capacity points of presence to each county and to provide 1 Gbps service to about 1,000 anchor institutions. The project will be managed by the state's Department of Transportation, which will be using fiber primarily for traffic management.
A recent Ames Tribune article reports that the local community will be partnering with the state to capitalize on the existence of the fiber for connectivity. Story County, located in the very center of the state, will soon be using several strands in the Ames area to create a loop between city and county offices. The 20-year arrangement will cost the county $15,000 and provides ample capacity to support the county's work and support future uses. From the article:
"For us this is a huge windfall," [Story County Information Technology Director Barbara Steinback] said. "If we were to go on to a project like this on our own, it would cost between $250,000 and $300,000."
The opportunity comes at a good time for Story County. The sheriff's office recently began using new mobile laptops that Steinback said have been putting a strain on the network and, along with some other projects, has been resulting in some slowness issues.
"So we do need to take advantage of this opportunity," she said.

Popular Vinaigrette Salad Dressing Recipes
Traditionally four parts oil to one part vinegar, vinaigrette salad dressings take little effort to make. From balsamic to raspberry to sherry-shallot, these easy vinaigrette salad dressings add a splash of flavor to any bed of greens.
Mixed Lettuce, Fennel & Orange Salad with Black Olive Vinaigrette
This colorful salad offers a symphony of flavors and textures. Savory black olives, sweet orange slices and crisp, licorice-flavored fennel balance the slightly bitter tastes of chicory, radicchio and Belgian endive.
From EatingWell
Mixed Lettuce, Fennel & Orange Salad with Black Olive Vinaigrette
Beets & Greens Salad with Cannellini Beans
Sometimes beets in the market have beautiful, unblemished, tender greens attached. When that happens, blanch the greens and toss with beans and vinaigrette, using some of the beets to garnish the salad, as in this recipe. Use the leftover cooked beets for other dishes. If you buy beet greens on their own, you can make the salad just with them. Either way is delicious.
From EatingWell
Fresh Tuna Salad with Tropical Fruits
Colorful tropical fruit contrasts with slightly bitter salad greens and fresh tuna steak to make a refreshing main-dish salad. Good-quality tuna is key to the success of this recipe. The secret to buying fresh fish is to ask to smell it: the tuna should smell briny, clean and fresh, like the ocean on a spring morning, not like the tidal flats on a hot summer afternoon. Do not use fresh pineapple juice, which has an enzyme that "cooks" the fish as it marinates.
From EatingWell
Raspberry Vinaigrette
Mild-tasting grapeseed oil is the ideal foil for fruity raspberry vinegar. This simple dressing offers an especially nice finish for a salad of mixed greens, fresh peaches or berries and chicken. For an exquisite appetizer, drizzle the dressing over melon wedges (or fresh figs) draped with thin slices of prosciutto.
From EatingWell
Walnut Oil Vinaigrette
Common in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking, pomegranate molasses is a sweet-yet-tart sauce made from reduced pomegranate juice. Combined with walnut oil, it makes a zesty dressing, perfect for sweet greens like Bibb lettuce and sugar snap peas. Toasted walnuts are a natural topping.
From EatingWell
Mango Salad with Ginger-Raisin Vinaigrette
In this recipe, juicy mangoes are paired with fresh ginger plus an unusual combination of golden raisins and malt vinegar, which adds great complexity to an otherwise basic mixed green salad.
From EatingWell
Watercress & Sugar Snap Salad with Warm Sesame-Shallot Vinaigrette
In this Asian-inspired salad, the peppery flavor of watercress is paired with another emblematic spring vegetable - sugar snap peas. Tossed with a warm dressing made with caramelized onions, rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil, this salad is the perfect antidote to the chill of early spring. For the best-tasting watercress, look for supple, thin stems (not woody stalks) with small, heart-shaped, dark green leaves that have no yellow blemishes.
From EatingWell
Watercress & Sugar Snap Salad with Warm Sesame-Shallot Vinaigrette
Seafood Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Crab and scallops combine with creamy avocados and a spiky orange dressing for a salad that's light, summery and very fast. The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
From EatingWell
Watermelon & Goat Cheese Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
The contrasting flavors and textures of crisp, sweet watermelon and creamy, tangy goat cheese are magical partners. Top with sliced grilled chicken to make it a meal.
From EatingWell
Greens with Parmesan Vinaigrette
Make a simple vinaigrette more interesting with freshly grated Parmesan.
From EatingWell
Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette
Orange juice and cilantro yield a tangy dressing that you'll want to have on hand.
From EatingWell
Orange & Avocado Salad
This colorful salad would be a welcome addition to a Mexican-inspired meal.
From EatingWell
Beet Bliss
Sophisticated and pretty; serve this to rave reviews.
From EatingWell
Maple-Mustard Vinaigrette
Walnut oil is worth seeking out for this tasty dressing; store leftover oil in the refrigerator.
From EatingWell
The EatingWell Cobb Salad
This Cobb salad is true to the original with all the good stuff - chicken, eggs, bacon, avocado and a tangy dressing. But we cut the saturated fat in half and doubled the amount of healthy monounsaturated fat. We've left the blue cheese optional, but the salad is so nutritious you might just want to go ahead and indulge yourself with a little bit anyway.
From EatingWell
Papaya-Avocado Salad
Crunchy jicama and walnuts pair with creamy papaya and avocado for an unusual salad.
From EatingWell
Spring Salad with Tarragon Vinaigrette
A bold, layered salad that showcases sardines and asparagus, this beautiful dish adds variety to your weekday dining. If you prefer tuna to sardines or have fish from the night before, go ahead and use that instead.
From EatingWell
Baby Spinach Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
Salad is a great way to increase your family's fruit and vegetable consumption--the challenge is getting your children (or picky eaters) to enjoy it. We've found that a simple, slightly sweet dressing like our Raspberry Vinaigrette, tossed with mild-flavored greens, such as baby spinach, fruit and your family's favorite vegetables can convince most everyone to take a bite.
From EatingWell
Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette
Invest a little extra time in this recipe to slow-roast the tomatoes and you're rewarded with a rich, earthy flavor with almost no fat.
From EatingWell
Sesame Tamari Vinaigrette
The roasted-nut and citrus flavors of this easy dressing go well with Asian-style salads or meals; try drizzling it on grilled shrimp or chicken breast, too.
From EatingWell
Brussels Sprouts with Walnut-Lemon Vinaigrette
Here we dress steamed Brussels sprouts with a delicate vinaigrette flavored with fresh lemon and nutty walnut oil.
From EatingWell
Seared Steak Salad with Edamame & Cilantro
Look for prewashed packages of Asian-style salad mixes at your supermarket - their peppery, exotic character is great with this full-flavored steak and dressing. Look for fiber- and protein-rich edamame (green soybeans) in the frozen vegetables section of your supermarket.
From EatingWell
Red & White Salad
Bitter, sweet and peppery flavors marry well in this confetti-like salad of wintery fruit and vegetables.
From EatingWell
Green Papaya Salad
This Thai-inspired salad makes use of the papayas that grow throughout Hawaii. This version is tossed with tender, sweet pea shoots. Make an extra batch of the vinaigrette to keep on hand in the refrigerator--use it as a marinade for vegetables, a flavorful dressing for fresh melon or as a sauce to splash over grilled fish or chicken.
From EatingWell
Warm Red Cabbage Salad
In this quick German-inspired side dish, red cabbage is cooked until just tender and combined with sweet apples, caraway and a tangy vinaigrette. Serve with roasted pork loin or turkey kielbasa.

TV Guide's Senior Critic Matt Roush takes your TV questions. Have a rant, rave or burning question about your favorite show you'd like addressed? E-mail him here!Question: I was just wondering what you thought about the big House and Cuddy kiss at the end of the most recent House episode. (I know it is dangerous to express an opinion about any of the possible romantic pairings on House, but this is really more about the scene itself than any future romantic possibilities.) I've read some comments calling the kiss "awkward," and I thought (and maybe I'm the only one here) that it being awkward was sort of the point. The kiss was unexpected, raw, a little angry and a little uncomfortable to watch, but it was also passionate and a bit tender. It wasn't "pretty;" there was no romantic music, or carefully choreographed movements. But I've never seen a TV kiss that was so perfectly suited to the complicated characters involved, their relationship and pent up emotions, and the odd, messy situation they found themselves in at the end of this episode. I'm not going to attempt to define what that kiss meant to either character (because that is where opinions get controversial), but I thought that entire last scene, from the argument before the kiss to the awkward goodbyes afterward, was beautifully acted and directed. I'd also like to add that Lisa Edelstein's stunning performance throughout the entire episode was as impressive, and heartbreaking, as Robert Sean Leonard's performance in last season's finale. It is great to see these two fabulous supporting actors finally getting a chance to shine. — MeganMatt Roush: Got quite a bit of mail on this topic, almost all of it positive and quite often taking a defensive posture against the inevitable knee-jerk "jump the shark" attacks the scene got. As LKB put it: "What happened to just enjoying these moments for the writing, acting and direction without constantly worrying about the potential fallout? My feeling is that the sexual tension between House and Cuddy needed to be explored at some point and what better time than now when House is already vulnerable with Wilson and daddy issues. Regardless of whether one agrees about the timing, it's just getting a little annoying to see people freak out any time anything dramatic happens on any show. Admittedly some of these ideas may not work in hindsight, but I'm not sure what people expect. For main characters to be stagnant? For writers to avoid adding any sense of plot or drama?"Couldn't agree more with that, and with Megan's analysis that the kiss (which I would have preferred Fox not to have hyped in advance) was indeed meant to be awkward, mysterious, unsatisfying and ambiguous. The fact that it wasn't a sweep-you-off-your-feet romantic catharsis was very much in keeping with these two messed-up characters. It was also beautifully played by two terrific actors, and I hope the show just lets the moment hang out there for a while without having to explain things beyond this one startling moment of connection.Question: I'm not sure House could ever be with anyone, but I'm beginning to think, if anyone, it has to be Cuddy. Watching her heart be broken like that with the baby thing and then House coming to her and seeing the two of them wounded together really was tasteful. I am really looking forward to the continuation of this storyline but, as a rule, House has to be alone, right? Isn't that something that David Shore & Co. always say? He can't have a relationship with anyone? I wish that wasn't true, only for Huddy's sake. It's seems so right. I used to be what the fans call "Hameron" but that never really felt right, not like this. I've been reading a few comments from the current "Hameron folk" and they have two main complaints that I've noticed: 1) Hugh and Lisa have no chemistry. That just isn't true. He has chemistry with both Jennifer and Lisa. Hugh Laurie could have chemistry with a rock, but it resonates with me, in particular, with Lisa Edelstein. The second complaint is that Cameron is more canon because it was in the first and second seasons and Cuddy can't be real because it wasn't always there. But that's what I love about it; their relationship grew and changed. I don't think there is an "I was here first" rule with TV show relationships. Now, I'm not trying to start fights or say what's best or not. I'm just trying to defend the new storyline, which worried me before, but now I'm beginning to love. I just wish fans could be more open-minded with stepping outside of their "ships" and really just appreciating the stories for what they are and the amazing acting that goes into it. I hope people don't complain to such as extent that Fox commands David Shore to end this storyline before its time. Is that possible? Are the anti-Huddy fans vocal enough to accomplish such a feat? Are network's ears really open to fan complaints? (Assuming they're not accompanied by a ratings dive, which I doubt this storyline would cause.) — ReinaMatt Roush: With all due respect, if the network, the studio or the producers listen to anyone throwing around the words "canon," "Huddy" or "Hameron" and take anything they have to say seriously, I despair for the future of the show. For me, this was a highly charged moment between two fascinating characters, not (I hope) the launch of a new contrived romantic arc, which I think would be disastrous. I agree that Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein have incredible chemistry in their character's playfully combative banter, but that doesn't necessarily mandate a "relationship." And the idea that a show has to conform to some "canon" set of rules is just ludicrous to me. Let's see where it all goes, or (my preference) doesn't go, but if I have to weigh in at all on this "shipper" nonsense, I guess I'd side with whoever would insist that House is a romantic character only in the most tragic sense. This isn't Grey's Anatomy.Question: I actually watch and enjoy Dancing with the Stars, though I tape Tuesday's results show because of The Mentalist, and because I find it boring. I only want to know who was voted off. Do you think people actually vote for the best dancer? While Cloris Leachman was on, I know that wasn't happening, though I didn't know whether it was a "Vote for the Worst" thing (a la Sanjaya on American Idol) or because people actually liked her. I was glad she did two dances she could leave being proud of, but before that, I couldn't decide whether she was kept because people love to watch something they can complain about, or because people were voting because they liked her personality or merely wanted to stir the pot. I think many shows where the audience is called upon to vote have callers picking the personality just as much as they pick their "talent," and I always hope in the end talent wins out. What are your thoughts? — DorothyMatt Roush: On a show like Dancing, where the competition is really more of an exhibition and it's all meant to be taken as fun — the grand prize more a matter of cheesy pride than careers actually being at stake — the voting no doubt reflects the popularity contest aspect of the show as much as it does the talent on display, at least in the early rounds. (I don't think the cynical Vote-for-the-Worst sort of manipulation has much sway with this show's target audience, which skews older than Idol's.) With Cloris Leachman, her staying power had everything to do with personality and novelty rather than merit, but she did bring an undeniable entertainment value to the show that justified her sticking around — until it got to the point that keeping her on at the expense of even marginally talented dancers would have been inexcusable. Last week's ouster of Susan Lucci (despite her popular ABC daytime-soap fan base) showed to me that the voting is beginning to reflect who's actually putting on a convincing and entertaining dancing show. (Lucci looked great, but her dancing was too tentative, and she often looked like a delicate music-box figurine being manipulated by Tony. It's a relief to see her go.) But in anticipating the results each week, I also find myself wondering how much of the voting is in response to the professional partner, some of whom have considerable fan bases of their own by now. Not that you asked, but I'm expecting the final to be between Brooke/Derek and Warren/Kym (unless he continues to decline), in part because I think Lacey is a drag (charisma-wise) on Lance's ticket.Question: Thanks for your recent discussion about the success, or lack thereof, of Pushing Daisies, a show I haven't yet had time to watch and one I've questioned whether I should. I think I might have a possible answer to the lack of viewers. (Don't laugh. Just hear me out.) Could it be that the premise of bringing people back from the dead may be offensive or just off-putting to religious viewers? I know it's fantasy, but remember all the hoopla surrounding the Harry Potter books and movies? Plus, fantasies aren't for everyone. Which leads me to another point: Will high-quality, unique shows ever find big audiences? By their very nature, aren't such shows aiming to reach just the people who "get" them, which will never be as many people who like to sit around watching CSI? Of course, I still don't understand how blood-and-guts became such mainstream programming anyway. (Sometimes I watch reruns of Murder She Wrote just to get away from the procedurals.) — SarahMatt Roush: I would be surprised if religious objections have anything to do with Pushing Daisies' current woes. The show is so fanciful and light-hearted, even at its most macabre, that it's hard to imagine it offending anyone except those who go out of their way to be offended. And it's not as if Ned is raising an army of zombies. The people/victims he wakes from the dead are sent back to their eternal rest in less than a minute, or there are dire consequences. But maybe a little religious controversy would be welcome. The publicity certainly didn't hurt the Harry Potter franchise. Seriously, though, you make a good point that a fantasy this far-out clearly isn't going to be to everyone's taste, and the bigger problem Daisies has is that some who've sampled it appear to find it too precious and wacky, sickly sweet and cloying (an objection I disagree with), too too, if you catch my drift. I'm not sure what the realistic expectation should be for a show as unique as Pushing Daisies, but I fear that if a show like this can't find an audience on a major network, it will be more and more likely that the next creative breakthrough will once again be on cable, basic or pay, while the networks recycle familiar formulas in a desperate attempt to maintain what passes for the status quo.Question: As we patiently wait for the news on the amazing Pushing Daisies, I was just wondering what effect its 12 Emmy nominations will have on the future of the show? I know it didn't win any of the big awards for acting, but I would think that 12 Emmy nominations for a nine-episode freshman season would make ABC try as hard as possible to save the show. The network has yet to try a different night/time with the series, and I think it's unfair that they expect a show like this to lead off the night. — StephenMatt Roush: I agree that ABC should try to find some way to protect Pushing Daisies with a strong and compatible lead-in, but it may also just be the case that the show will never again recapture the glow it enjoyed a year ago before the strike put it out of sight, out of mind. This promises to be an interesting case study in how a network values a show for its quality and industry buzz, regardless of the cold reality of its terrible ratings. The Emmy exposure is likely to give the network pause before swinging the ax, but at some point you have to expect the shoe to drop. I'm getting a lot of mail from frantic fans of this and other endangered shows who want to know if there's something they can personally do to help boost a show's chances of survival. Mary J wrote in to promote a new fan campaign for Daisies, but these efforts tend to be mostly symbolic. You can write the network, write sponsors, all the traditional methods of showing support, but ultimately, it will be up to ABC to decide if there's a place on the schedule for a show of such singular niche appeal.Question: I see CBS had a very interesting episode of The Big Bang Theory dealing with Sheldon's sexuality scheduled for last Monday. Lots of people have always speculated whether Sheldon is heterosexual, homosexual, or simply asexual. Do you think the writers are going to finally let us know what Sheldon's "situation" is with his love life? I have always felt he is simply asexual, and has too much else to do to worry about other than dating and romance. Do you think Sheldon is going to get a love interest? I am really looking forward to find out more about Sheldon's love life. — ScottMatt Roush: This question came in before that hilarious episode aired (to higher-than-average ratings, I might add), and now that we've seen how Sheldon responds to a stalker's attentions, I think it's fair to assume that this self-absorbed genius operates outside the typical straight-gay continuum. It's not so much that he's asexual as that he's basically an alien creature. No normal rules apply. When it comes to dating, he doesn't get it, he doesn't see it, he doesn't want to know about it. The very idea of Sheldon having a traditional, or even non-traditional, love interest or love life does not compute. But boy, is he funny.Question: I'm so frustrated! How many times do I watch a CBS show at 9 pm/ET on Friday after Ghost Whisperer and it gets cancelled? First, Close to Home, then Moonlight, and now The Ex List. Out of the three, Moonlight was the best, followed by Close to Home. The Ex List wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible TV. To me, it was better than watching Supernanny at that same time. My question is this: When will CBS get a show and leave it there? Why must CBS be so specific about ratings, and dump a show if it doesn't hold Ghost Whisperer's ratings? Is there any way for the suits at CBS to hear us "regular folks" who are actually the ones watching the shows? I just don't get it, but maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the way TV Networks work. It's just very frustrating. It almost makes you not want to watch anything anymore for fear it will be canceled. This 9 pm time slot on Friday on CBS is the worst. But I know there are other shows in danger of cancellation (Pushing Daisies, etc.). Why do they expect so much from "ratings?" — Mary M.Matt Roush: This Friday time slot is the last tough nut for CBS to crack. (The network finally fixed its Tuesday 10 pm/ET problem, where shows had gone to die ever since Judging Amy packed it in, by moving Without a Trace there.) Simply put, ratings are the necessary evil by which the network business still functions. Even in these technologically transitional times, it's the measurement system by which shows live or die, and Fridays are particularly challenged as the viewing levels on the night continue to dwindle. Finding a show that fits between Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs has proved particularly vexing, and going the supernatural or romantic-comedy route the last two seasons hasn't met CBS's expectations. (In retrospect, giving Moonlight a second season to develop might not have been such a bad idea.) I keep seeing speculation in the trades that plugging in the summer hit Flashpoint would make the most sense, and I guess we shouldn't expect anything else from CBS beyond yet another procedural hour.Question: After sampling several of the networks' new offerings this fall, I am struggling to find a favorite that I feel passionate about. Then I realized that the program I most look forward to watching is not in prime time at all. It is The Bonnie Hunt Show in daytime! Bonnie Hunt is such a breath of fresh air every day— innately humorous, self-deprecating and quick-witted without being nasty. She is such a natural talent, and she is "real." There does not seem to be a phony bone in her body. I think she has finally found the vehicle that perfectly suits her talents. — Rob R.Matt Roush: Bonnie Hunt and Ellen DeGeneres, two refugees from the world of many an unfairly failed sitcom, are the main reasons I wish I had more time to wallow in daytime TV. They're both fresh and funny, absolute naturals, and I am thrilled that Bonnie has finally found an outlet that suits her so well. For years, she has been the perfect talk-show guest (especially with Letterman), and all along many of us suspected she'd be right at home on the other side of things.Question: I wasn't a big fan of the CW's recreation of Beverly Hills 90210, but the news that a Melrose Place 2.0 may happen next year compelled me to write in protest. Melrose Place was last decade's best guilty pleasure, and it truly deserves a place in history. It may not have been the smartest show, but it certainly was a lot of fun. It's an insult and an outrage that a network is disrespecting precious memories, just to make buzz and a few headlines. Aaron Spelling was a master of television, and no one (no matter how talented) should be able to reboot his work. What's next, Friends 2.0? Maybe a new version of Buffy, or Sex and the City, just not in New York? Television is great when we are able to witness the birth of true original series (Lost, CSI, Felicity), not old concepts with a new cast. As an audience, we deserve respect, credit, new proposals and creative arguments, not old stuff dressed with a new shiny dress. Hopefully this CW trend will end after 90210, and Melrose will remain true to its original concept. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. — DavidMatt Roush: I'm not sure I'd put Melrose Place in the pantheon of classics (even in the guilty pleasure subcategory) whose shrine could be tarnished by an inferior remake. There were a few seasons when it was an absolute gas, I agree, but by the time it limped off the air, those memories were already plenty tattered. The bigger issue here is the creative poverty of a network like the CW, which is reduced to wringing whatever nostalgic juice it can out of brand names that long ago helped put Fox on the map. This is just sad.Question: I need some clarification regarding NBC's Chuck and you're the man that I think can help. I just read on your Web site that NBC is developing a one-hour buddy-cop comedy with Ice Cube. How do you think this will effect my second favorite network show behind Friday Night Lights? Without knowing anything beyond what was initially reported, it would seem like they might be competing for the same audience. Could this be a sign that NBC might be looking to replace it or am I just in panic mode? Also, what do you think the chances are of getting another season of Chuck and Friday Night Lights next year? I don't think I could handle losing one or both of those shows. — Dave S.Matt Roush: It does sound a little premature to panic about a show that hasn't even got a full green-light yet, and there's no reason to think it's being developed as a replacement. (It would be nice to think of any new action-comedy as a complement to Chuck.) But it would also be disingenuous to think, despite Chuck's early full-season pickup, that our favorite spy comedy is assured a third season at this point. It's struggling in a very challenging time period, and I have no idea if NBC will try moving it in what promises to be an extremely busy and pivotal midseason. As for Friday Night Lights, which I'm enjoying immensely in its DirecTV run, it sure feels like a valedictory (as in final) season to me, with lots of satisfying closure for a number of major characters. Its future has everything to do with whether DirecTV will continue its investment in the show, which is all that's keeping it alive at this point. If Friday Night Lights is allowed to go out on its own terms, I could be at peace with that, much as I'll miss it. Chuck's failure, though, would be equally frustrating, because that show feels to me like such sure-fire mainstream entertainment and a missed opportunity. My fondness for Chuck may not go as deep as my affection for Friday Night Lights, but I enjoy them both and hope at least one of them will still be around a year from now. Won't be easy.

Terror Squad leader Fat Joe has updated fans on his current living arrangement fresh out of jail and provided a scoop on his unexpected Thanksgiving Day release.
According to Joey Crack, he kept busy with various activities during his four-month stretch.
"Man, I just been working, working out, reading a lot, educating myself, eating healthy," Joe said when asked how he kept busy during his bid. "I was in the building where you don't see the sun. So I came out like a white chicken wing – I ain't have the sunrays." (Revolt TV)
Joey Crack also discussed a clip he posted of himself surprising his daughter on Thanksgiving.
"They gave me a pass to come home for Thanksgiving. It was like, for a couple of hours. The reason why she ain't really notice me at first is because I was like hiding behind this wood wall and I popped out on her. I was just so happy to see my daughter. I never told her where I was at. I would phone her and tell her I was on tour overseas and write her letters. That was hard. … My last day of captivity will be Christmas Eve, a Christmas present, yeah. … I'm not able to go to the studio yet so as soon as I touch that studio, I'm ready to go." (Revolt TV)
Buzz behind Joe's unexpected early release heated up the Internet last month.
Earlier this year, Fat Joe was sentenced to four months in prison, a $15,000 fine, and a year of supervision after his release for tax evasion. According to the original report, "Joe owed $718,038 in back taxes from 2007 through 2010 but in the end, he only pleaded guilty for the two years. The report also claimed Joe made $1.18 million in 2007, more than $1.28 million in 2008, more than $265,000 in 2009, and more than $630,000 in 2010." On August 26 of this year, Joe turned himself in to Miami's Federal Detention Center to serve his four months. Today, according to an Instagram post by "All I Do Is Win" producer DJ Nasty, Joe has been released early–right in time for Thanksgiving dinner! There are no other details at this time. Watch an Instagram video of Joe surprising his daughter. (Complex)
Prior to beginning his sentence, the Bronx rapper revealed a personal accountant mishandled his finances which ultimately resulted in a tax-related conviction.
"Well, what happened was I always had the same accountant for years and his son was in a car accident — so he retired and they introduced me to a new accountant so he took over my stuff so I got onto my 'rapper' where I have the guy paying all my bills and all that, so I'm wiring him money to pay my bills, my taxes — months and months of not paying [off my taxes], he paid it all off and I already knew this was some Ponzi scheme type dude. … So next day I went and got [a different] accountant and we tried to fix what was going on. … They feel like you, as the leader of your household, you supposed to be over everything that's going on. You still get the blame even though it's the accountant's fault. … I paid them all the money back and I figured if you pay them all your money back — I ended up spending a million two hundred thousand and you know, I'm not Jay Z or none of that. Penalties is on top of that." ("The Breakfast Club")
