Here is the story of two legends who gave everything to their people for decades and continued to their last breaths. Salute to the Freeman brothers, Roland and Elder. Elder Freeman was a mentor and uncle-like community figure at whose feet I sat for half my life, learning from him and his comrades fundamental lessons: true African communalism and how to sincerely love Black people through action

Sunday, Oct. 12, marks our 19th Annual Maafa Commemoration. This is a time when we gather to remember our African ancestors, especially those who endured the transatlantic slave trade or the Middle Passage, the Black Holocaust. It is a time for Pan Africans to gather and celebrate life and recommit ourselves to the work of liberation: spiritual, psychological, economic and political.

The question of who ordered the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. is a vital one. Those who dismiss the notion that the United States government would engage in assassination willfully ignore the 1975 Church Committee Report that exposed covert, illegal government activities and the many CIA-orchestrated assassinations and coups d'etat from Africa to Latin America.

In light of the police murder of the martyr Michael Brown and the ongoing struggle in Ferguson, Missouri, in the United States, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine salutes and stands firmly with the ongoing struggle of Black people and all oppressed communities in the United States.

Her name was Yuri, a Japanese woman born in the United States. I hesitate to call her a Japanese-American, for to do so suggests she was a citizen. In light of how she, her family and her community were treated during World War II, especially after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, to call any of them citizens would be an exaggeration. Yuri Kochiyama, freedom fighter, after 93 summers, has become an ancestor.

The fiery H. Rap Brown, chairperson of SNCC, minister of justice for the Black Panther Party and one of the original four targets of the FBI's infamous COINTELPRO to neutralize Black power, is presently entombed in the federal prison at Florence, Colorado, one of the world's 10 worst prisons. Pursued relentlessly since the '60s, he was wrongfully convicted in 2002 – the prosecutor bragging that they finally got him after trying for 24 years. His wife, attorney Karima Al-Amin, tells his story on the Block Report.

My comrade Obi Egbuna's father, with the same name, recently passed, and it was not until his old man died that I became aware of Senior's well-documented history in the Pan African Movement.

Rickey Vincent's new book, "Party Music," about the Black Panther Party singing group The Lumpen is a great read. The revolutionary singing group was all about the ideology of the Black Panther Party in song and music. The Lumpen had a powerful show. They mixed the contemporary music of James Brown, Curtis Mayfield and Motown and changed the lyrics to provide a positive message in their music.

This is the voice of a mother crying for the freedom of her child, Anthony Leonard Bottom, aka Jalil Muntaqim, who has been swallowed up in the New York penal system for 37 years, 1977-2014. My child has been held captive in the belly of New York state prisons without any regard for his constitutional human rights. Consequently, as a political prisoner, he has become a forgotten, disenfranchised citizen of the United States of America.

The name Amiri Baraka has been known to me since my teens, when I was a member of the Black Panther Party. Baraka posed an intriguing figure, for he radiated both love and rage, funneled through his poems, which pulsated with revolutionary fire. He was born in 1934 in Newark, N.J., as Everett LeRoy Jones and become a rising star of the Beat era in the East Village of New York.

By now millions of Americans have heard about COINTELPRO. COINTELPRO was the FBI's evil and illegal system of spying, lying, telephone wire taps, frame-ups and assassination that violated the constitutional and human rights that they claim to uphold. I was recently asked, while doing a Black Panther Party historical tour in Oakland, how COINTELPRO affected me personally. Here is one of my stories.

The child's destination was a friend's house on a bright sunny day. The child had a toy. But Andy Lopez Cruz didn't see his friend that day. Andy will not ever see any of his friends again. For within 10 seconds, the cops had rolled up behind him, reported him as suspicious, called for backup and shot him seven times. He was shot twice in the back before he hit the ground; he got a chance to scream "Stop" once and then he died.

In an Aug. 6, 2013, op-ed piece published in the Los Angeles Times, Jeffrey Beard, the secretary of California's inaptly named Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDC), cynically attempts to dehumanize a significant percentage of California's population – i.e., the state's incarcerated population – while making light of the grave human rights abuses perpetrated by the CDC.

One month after the brutal murder of Malcolm Latif Shabazz in Mexico City, about 30 people gathered at the Angel of Independence to demand justice in the case. The demonstrators carried banners and placards on a march through several blocks from Paseo de la Reforma around the U.S. Embassy before returning to El Ángel to place a floral offering there.

The Scottsboro Boys have been vindicated, but there are many more waiting in the wings – waiting for justice. It is often said that justice delayed is justice denied. Many years have passed in so many unresolved civil rights crimes and injustices. And if no one is prepared to step up and pursue these cases, we must wonder if justice will ever come.

Borders are a complicated thing. The only "good" border was between east- and west-Germany, but even back then some people got through. The U.S. and Mexico share something like 2500 miles of border, often through deserts. Securing it is a tough job. I am all for securing borders, illegal immigration is not okay with me, nowhere in the world. But one has to be realistic about what can be achieved and how much one is willing to spend.
And then there is the issue of wages. Are you prepared to pay double on oranges, melons and other produce that is harvested by low-wage illegal immigrants? And don't tell me these jobs could be done by Americans. We tried that here in Germany. We are huge fans of asparagus and tried to get our many unemployed to harvest it – voluntarily in the first season. Half of them reported to the doctor after the first day (back pain), the other half was send home because they were to slow, careless, unproductive and so on. Now the Poles are doing it again (but they are legal due to EU-regulations)…
but isn't America the land founded by immigrants?
Yes it is Susan.
The first being those that walked over the land bridge once existing in the great frozen north.
Then we had some Vikings and there may be some evidence of Phoenician settlements.
Europeans (as in British, French, Spanish and Portuguese as opposed to Germanic and Norse) floated across the pond as well and they "conquered" the Territory and "claimed" it.
So far nothing BUT "illegals" so to speak. But then there were no "immigration" laws at the time.
But then around 1790 the fledgling US government started addressing the immigration "problem" and today, well, Immigration law regarding the citizens of a country is regulated by international law. The United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights mandates that all countries allow entry to its own citizens.
Certain countries may maintain rather strict laws which regulate both the right of entry and internal rights, such as the duration of stay and the right to participate in government. Most countries have laws which designate a process for naturalization, by which immigrants may become citizens.
Since there are laws, both national and international, concerning immigration, don't you think that people should do there level best to follow those laws?
I wonder if some time in the future someone will look at this cartoon and wonder if we were all a bunch of paranoid racist.
Illegal is illegal, and the laws need to be reviewed, and yes, enforced. At the same time, this call for more drones, more fences, and more destruction of OUR rights as AMERICAN CITIZENS sickens me, and indeed does bring back memories of that border fence in Germany, and the fences Israel has built, and the ones WE built in Iraq. The "iron curtain" was a political statement addressed by Eisenhower, that later became a physical barrier, that WE are now building, not just on our borders, but in our communities
Stop the sale of illegal drugs, legalize marijuana, and the "cartels" made up of AMERICANS doing business on this side of the border, lose their profit potential. Those operating on the other side also lose their market if we do treatment for addicts, instead of incarceration, more profit lost.
Bring back "green card" migrant workers and help agriculture here, and the economy in Mexico and Central America when those folks go back home with money for part of the year when not working here. (and yes, they pay their taxes here as well).
When I see wire and fences, I see dead people, not "America", unless you consider it the land of the imprisoned, and land of the chickenhawks.
Sorry, HOME of the chickenhawks!
so the idea of selling USA citizenshipships at walmart is gaining support
Why do we limit immigation, anyway? Let people live where they want, so long as they obey the laws where they live.
Flake: being a ranching and farming community, those "migrants" are commonly in our culture. The biggest population lived three blocks from my house. In 32 years, only locked the doors when we were going to be gone for several days, or weeks We never felt the least "threatened".
We recently moved, and have a minimum security prison less than a mile from the house, and we're "outside of town". The folks before us didn't lock the doors, and neither do we. Maybe we're just safer with an "attack" dachshund and tabby cat?
Also, the years I spent in Southern California
also put me close to "Mexican" and "immigrant" communities. Interestingly a high school classmate did return to Mexico. He had to miss our 40th high school reunion and sent a letter of apology for missing, as he was "second in command" in the Mexican State Deprt, and was on a trip to Europe and Russia. Yep, all those "Mexicans" and immigrants coming here are "low achievers".
Why do we limit immigation, anyway? Let people live where they want, so long as they obey the laws where they live.
It's the last sentence that's the stickler.
The best solution to the "problem" of illegal immigration is legal immigration. LEGALIZE IT! A Good Cartoon.
Immigration is legal. Not seeing your logic.
Most of the people who arrived before the 20th century just more or less showed up. It wasn't until the racists took hold that we started worrying about "documentation" and "legality."
But by then the Statue of Liberty was already in the harbor and we liked what it did for our public image, plus we'd invented all that bushwa about how the Indians welcomed the Pilgrims as a myth about our willingness to help newcomers.
So we pretended we still felt that way.
What does locking the doors on your house have to do with immigration policy? Please explain the connection.
EVERY country was founded by immigrants.
LOL got a point……

Legacy: Bertram Lenard Brunson
- Written by Tri-State Defender Newsroom
Pat Brunson-Ware said goodbye to her son – Bertram Lenard Brunson – last Saturday (Aug. 11), singing a song in which the words "have a good time" seemed to be amplified.
For Brunson-Ware, the years have yielded some tough times since her son was maimed and critically injured (September, 1991) while in the custody of the Shelby County Sheriff's department. Mr. Brunson was 22 when he was hog-tied and beaten, living for over 20 years in a coma. He died Aug. 2.
In 1994, a civil rights violation lawsuit was won on the behalf of Mr. Brunson, who suffered anoxic brain damage from the excessive force. For 17 years, Shelia Diane Jeffries, his "second mom," was his private-duty sitter. She affectionately called him "Bobby."
A mother's memory
"Every since the age of three you have always wanted to be a man for me and just as you turned twenty-one I was sure that your man-life had just begun," Brunson-Ware wrote in the homegoing program. "But 40 days into twenty-two, oh my God what did 'they' do to you."
She recalled the "wonderful little boy" who fell in love with the kindergarten teacher at Prospect Elementary school, broke his arm playing little league football, set track records in Shelby Youth Sports, and kept a sketch pad handy.
Mr. Brunson graduated from Hamilton High School in 1987, and his mother noted how proud she was to see him take "the walk." He received higher education at The LeMoyne Owen College and State Technical Institute (now part of Southwest Tennessee Community College). He worked for the Racquet Club and as a skycap at Memphis International Airport.
The decision to seek nursing home care for Mr. Brunson was a difficult one for Brunson-Ware, who wanted to carry for him herself. She candidly shared her worry in the written program, describing the feelings of guilt.
"But even now I recall the words of Lois Jean Streeter telling me, '...don't let anyone make you feel guilty about placing Bert in a nursing home, you do what's best for your child.' I believe I did."
The hardest thing, however, was saying goodbye, Brunson-Ware wrote.
"I thank God for allowing us this time together."
He leaves his parents Patricia Brunson-Ware (Lionel) and John L. Brunson (Diane); three sisters, Shavetres Beamer, Ashley Mays and Tierrani Brunson; grandparents, the Rev. Angus Brunson Sr. and Jo Willie Brunson, Annie Mae Hill, Sylvester and Georgia Powell; his uncles, Angus Brunson Jr. (Ann) and Morris Brown, an aunt, Gloria Brunson-Barber.
The homegoing celebration was held at Christ Missionary Baptist Church, 480 South Parkway East, where the eulogy was delivered by the Rev. Gina M. Stewart, the host pastor.
Harrison's Funeral Home, Inc., Orange Mound Chapel, had charge, with burial in Elmwood Cemetery.

usbaudio.sys BSOD on Win XP Professional 32 bit
I'm helping a friend with his PC crashing into BSOD when he plugs in his usb headphones. That's the only pair he has in general. He needs a microphone, too, and he can't afford even cheap headsets. So I'm helping him out, but I can't look at it in person. He lives four hours away now; however, I did get him to use the diagnostic program to get his info. I looked at his minidump files and every one says that usbaudio.sys is causing it. I'll attach the zip file to this post.
As the title says, he's operating Windows XP Professional 32 bit. I know this is SEVEN forums, but this is honestly the most helpful forum I've been to.
I'd be very, very grateful if anyone can help me out. He would, too, I'm sure. Thanks in advance.

Oh man. Ridiculous. My face hurts from rubbing my fists into it while watching this episode. Another crazy week and I swear some people try to make me even crazier. Son of a bitch ... I can't believe this situation with this Sky Lab client. Let me first make it clear that I was less than five minutes late to the session Deenie and I had this on camera confrontation. (Helpful Hint #1:The client should always do some cardio while they wait for his/her session to begin.) I had been to another session where she was 20 minutes late to arrive. That being said, we seemed to have a mutual understanding. We both have lives and neither one of them is revolving around the gym. Time things can happen. I have never canceled an appointment with a client nor have I ever canceled a rehearsal with a band. I bring that good stuff every place I go. It's ... I don't know, just part of being super duper fly, I guess. In doing that there's a certain amount of expectation I have for another person's effort in the time we've both committed. In the three or four workouts I really had with Deenie, after we were delayed a week on her getting approval from a doctor, she would complain about EVERYTHING I had her do. "It hurts too much" or "This doesn't feel good to my ankle" were her favorite complaints. It got tiring very fast. MoFo, please.

Complementing cd with autojump
Big Jump
Autojump is a mature and widely available command-line tool for navigating your directory structure. We show you how it works.
The Linux directory structure was developed when hard drives were small, and all you needed for navigation was a file manager or a handful of commands like
cd and
ls. Today, however, multiterabyte hard drives make the list of directories longer and deeper and therefore more difficult to navigate. On the desktop, these changes have prompted navigation alternatives like Nepomuk [1] and Zeitgeist [2]. At the command line, they have resulted in several different solutions, the most popular of which is autojump [3].
Autojump apparently takes its name from a means of pre-programming moves in some of the games in The Legend of Zelda series. Like its gaming namesake, autojump is a means of jumping straight to a directory without laboriously following its full path. Autojump maintains a plain-text database of the directories you visit and how often you visit each one and, on the basis of this information, jumps to the closest match according to what you type.
As the project homepage notes, "autojump isn't meant to be a drop-in replacement for cd, but rather a complement. Cd is fine when staying in the same area of the filesystem; autojump is there to help when you need to jump far away from your current location." Autojump is especially useful with the root account, which tends to make longer jumps in the directory structure than most accounts.

I know she appreciates my willingness to do anything for her at the drop of a hat, along with my humbleness, patience and understanding.
She's a strong woman but my sense is she doesn't want to be in charge all the time.
The last thing I want to do is take it too fast or too far.
To me this means taking charge at times, not talking about feelings so much, being the strong one, etc.
Have you asked her what she means by it?
"Your secrets keep you sick"
not talking about feelings so much,
I would be careful about this one.
I personally find this very manly and would not want FWH to stop.
I've waited a long time for the feelings and don't want them to stop. Ever.
She still isn't used to me crying in front of her, its hardly ever sadness. Just so much love and emotion it comes out.
That's not going anywhere.
[This message edited by JustDesserts at 9:25 PM, January 6th (Monday)]
It seems to me like there's some element of game playing going on here. So, is she dropping hints to you about how she wants you to act? And are you assuming that even though you don't know what she means, if you ask her to clarify, she won't consider it genuine? Which of course is limiting you ability to be open and vulnerable with her; which may or may not be what she wants to see out of you anyway? Gives me a headache going around in circles. I mean, what's wrong with honest communication? What about authenticity?
I know her, if she tells me the action wont have any impact because she's still in control. Know what I mean?
I do know what you mean, and this dancing around happens to us as well. My suggestion fwiw would be to ask her what she really means and just be honest. Ultimately you're being "the man" that she's asking for by taking control of a vague request and ending the games.

1) 'Women and men are equal in all respects'
2) 'Women and men are different'
With that being stated, is it possible your BS is one of those women who wants her man to be more like a woman right up until you reach the point that you are?

"Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few." Pythagoras
There are two kinds of people in the world.
Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
It helps (I think) since it takes some pressure off her and, for the first time, makes me a partner INVESTING in the household.
There are some things we decided I will not do, like finances, because turning that over to her helps her feel safe (from me), but for the rest I keep telling her to just add it to the list.
We also agreed to put a "shopping and to-do list" on top of the microwave that she populates throughout the week. Whenever I am there I pick it up and work down the list. This way it's really clear, i.e. if she needs something done, she just adds it to the list.
Maybe she can call your list "the MANLY list of things to do"
This is one of those little changes that makes a big difference and honestly, as long as we share the house, I can't imagine this one ever changing, so a good future habit developing as well.
Hope it helps.
I think Steppenwolf has the right idea. A good first step is to take control and confront it rather than just let it flounder.
I've realized I'm a bit frustrated with the overly submissive role I've taken on. All things considered I should be accommodating, but not so far it is at the expense of my self respect. That will lead me in a bad direction...
It took alot of work to get it back and it's still very fragile. Insecurities suck!
I do like the idea of the list inclusive of kid items. I have a good memory and she does not, it may help aleve some of my frustration about making sure everything is covered. It's tough when I'm not there all the time, I def don't want to nag.
She gets anxious when I approach her to talk. Perhaps something small like this and consistently keeping it short and sweet will help.
Oh, then you're supposed to be a mind reader, right??
WH pulls this kind of passive-aggressive bullshit on me too. I tell him 'xxx will make me feel loved', specifically so that he DOESN'T have to be a mind reader. So what does he do? He does 'yyy' or 'xyz' or 'abc' or anything BUT 'xxx'.
So what is that supposed to mean? That he doesn't care about what I want? That he doesn't want to be 'controlled'? That he wants to show that he's creative and not just 'following orders'? Or ?????
I agree that you two need to have some true, honest communication injected here. A good MC can help with this type of communication (idk if you are in MC or not).
And sorry, but I don't get how being a 'man' is incompatible with being humble.
Please try to get your communication with your wife on the right track. Communication is a means of understanding. Having healthy communication will promote understanding, and in that way can help to improve emotional intimacy.
Best of luck to you both.
I've realized I'm a bit frustrated with the overly submissive role I've taken on.
In MC yesterday the therapist asked me what was going on with me at the exact moment in the meeting. I realized my head was down because my head is now always hung so low around my wife...part submissive, part shame, lots of guilt.
It's normal now since the pain is all so new and real, but when she really starts to beat me up and try and make me even more submission, I can feel it getting to me. You're not alone with that frustration.
My hope is eventually this comes to some sort of a balance as part of the R process (that is, if we ever have an R process, but you get the point).
when she really starts to beat me up and try and make me even more submission, I can feel it getting to me.
Your Ddays are fairly recent. I had no idea which way was up for more than a YEAR. So without regard to anything else, some of that trauma may still be at play.
That being said, I have to say that it really irks me when WH categorizes my honest discussion of my feelings as me 'beating him up into submission'. Yeah, he does that. And at least in my case, I feel that it is an unfair judgment.
I'm not there with either of you. I don't know the intimate details of either of your situations. So ymmv.
But you might also consider whether (and if so, to what extent) you are defensive and projecting, rather than listening with an open heart and mind to what your BSs are trying to tell you. I hope that you are able to truly R with your BS. I would give almost anything for WH to have been truly remorseful and willing to do the work. That is not something I would have intentionally destroyed.
I truly wish you only the best.
She wants definitive action, not just reaction to her pain.

I do surprise her in the way only I can. Surprise dates with everything setup, thoughtful small gifts well timed, etc. Thankfully I know her well and know how to make her feel special without overdoing it.
I am also "in charge" most of the time in our relationship and if I wanted a break - these are the things I would ask H to do.
I think its less about being a MAN (ie not feminine) and more about being a co-equal and not a parent/child relationship. I'm not sure if that rings true for your W.
Here's my list - take it or leave it as is helpful for you!
Things I wish my H knew:
1. I am not in charge. Don't come home and ask me what's for dinner or ask me what chores you should do. Take charge (not in a jerk way) - "Hey love - I thought I'd make hamburgers for us for dinner tonight, does that sound good for you?" "Hey hun, I think it'd be fun to go grab dessert and a glass of wine at that new restaurant down the street this week - what night works for you?" Think of chores on your own (taking out the trash, vaccuming, sweeping the floor, walking/feeding the dog, unloading the dishwasher, taking the cars to get the oil changed, etc. and just do them. Don't point out that you did them to your W.
2. Don't look to me to organize our social calendar. "W, I'd love to go check out XYZ town for the day. Do you want to make a date day out of it this weekend?" "Hun, we haven't seen XYZ friends in a while. How about I call them to see if they can meet us for dinner on Friday at XX restaurant?" (and then YOU make reservation if they say yes).
3. Kiss me when you first see me in the morning and before you leave for work in the am. Grab my butt when I hop out of the shower. Give me the "damnnnnnnn woman" look and let me know that I look good when you see me all dressed up for the dinner with friends (that you planned).
4. Play with me, tickle me, laugh with me, make inside jokes with me. Smile at me across the room. Hold my hand in public. Bring me flowers (ok if they are the $10 ones from the grocery store, just let me know you took that little bit of extra time for me).
5. Don't be afraid to share your feelings and be authentic with me. I want you to be you.
@Gutfeeling, that is the greatest list I have read in a long time. My wife could have written that list and it's painful for me to realize how bad I screwed up every single point on your list. Every ONE.
The even more painful part is how blatantly obvious it is to me NOW and how blind it was to me before. And that is why they call it a fog...
Thanks for sharing that, it's truly a great list.
Her: WW/57 Me: BS/63 24yrs M
3 great kids, now 22, 20, 17 b,b,g
D-Day 8/14/08, D 1/13/11
It can be really frustrating to do things for her (the "services" part of the 5 love languages) without pointing it out to her and getting immediate (or any) recognition. But imagine how nice it will be when she gets up on a Saturday morning and groans that she's gotta take the car in for an oil change.
"No you don't honey, I did that last week."
I talked to her yesterday about what she really wants from me right now. She didn't really know at the time, but after we went to a movie she cautiously told me.
She wants me to focus on the business and the kids, to take care of the things I need to. She feels like I try to spend too much time with her at the expense of other things. She doesn't necessarily want "space", but she wants me to let go of my need to know whats she's up to all the time. She enjoys our time together and I feel safe in that now.
I was very receptive and agreed with her, she is right after all. Now that I have my marching orders, the real work for me begins.
She was apprehensive about talking to me about it as she thought my insecurities would kick in and I would take it as she wants less to do with me, or to back away from me. Thankfully I finally feel safe that she isn't going anywhere so I didn't take it that way. Glad I surprised her.
After that chat I dropped her off and went home. I texted her goodnight and I got some very angry text messages back about how she hates me for how I've made her feel and several other things saying she wants to hurt me like I hurt her.
It's tough to hear, but I validate it and whatever else I feel is appropriate, but no excuses. I had asked her to share her pain with me as she usually keeps it inside. It's happened a couple times in the last few days, I'll take the heat. She's sharing...
Great list

A variety of mainstream and business PCs -- and even a few printers -- round out Dell's PC announcements at Computex.
Desktops no longer make up the bulk of new PC purchases, but many people still like the idea of a fixed system. Here's some advice on finding the right system.
The computer maker is announcing that the bulk of its PC lineup will be available with Windows 8, centered on existing systems like the XPS 13 ultrabook and the XPS One 27.
While there are plenty of off-the-shelf solutions that you can buy, you'll get the most reward by getting down and dirty and building your own PC. Here's a rundown of what you'll need to do.
Dell announced updates to its Optiplex line of business desktops and Precision workstation family.
Alienware announced a new x51 slim tower gaming desktop, with a starting price of $699. It will be available for purchase on January 18.
We recap Dell's announcements and Rafe gets banned, even if this is first show back. Sprint's "industry first" is a dual screen phone, and also the first mobile device with screen-on-screen action. The Verizon iPhone is already jailbroken. Plus, we'll pay you in Smurfberries!
We're intrigued by Acer's new Aspire Revo RL100 living room system.
At Dell Means Business event in San Francisco, company unleashes 39 new products, including a new Windows tablet aimed at businesses.
PC maker unveils a "new generation" of gear for business computing--some 39 machines, including portables, desktops, and workstations. Dell also plans a 10-inch, Windows 7 tablet for later this year.

Caesar salad, a perfect storm is brewing.
My Romaine lettuce is going to peak this coming weekend. The hens are giving us a bounty of fresh eggs. Always have good, home baked, bread on hand for croutons.
How would you make your perfect Caesar salad?
Anchovies, fresh grated Parmesan Romano, fresh ground black pepper, sliced tomato but not mixed into the salad. If you have so much Romaine I would use only the green and leaf parts and toss out the watery ribs. But your homegrown may have ribs that are more tasty than store bought.
One option is using all or some of the olive oil the anchovies come in. I like anchovies and their oil but many don't.
I would follow the advice of James Beard in Beard on Food: toss the (dry) lettuce in olive oil first.
I know this is blasphemy, but my perfect dressing would start with homemade mayonnaise which I would make with olive oil and lemon juice. I would then put anchovies, one garlic clove, Dijon mustard, a dash of balsamic, cracked pepper, lemon zest and more lemon juice into my small food processor and whir it. Once it was all blended, I would add some of the mayo and olive oil until it was the right consistency. Croutons would be made by frying cubes of homemade Italian bread in olive oil and then lightly salted. To assemble, all lettuce would be torn into bitesize pieces and then tossed with dressing, finely grated Romano and coarsely grated Parmigiano. The warm croutons would be added at the last second.
The original Caesar salad did not contain anchovies. It did use worcestershire sauce which does have anchovies as an ingredient. Keep the Romane leaves whole. The salad was meant to be eaten off a plate with fingers.
there are several prior threads with great advice for caesar salad:
Have you tried Caesar deviled eggs yet? I was very surprised by how uniquely delicious they are. Big surprise hit at brunch recently.
I'd get the freshest, most tender Romaine leaves I could find. Day-fresh egg. Good dijon. Lots of fresh ground black pepper. Juice of at least half a lemon. 4-5 smooshed anchovy filets & 2 garlic cloves. 1/4 cup of good olive oil. About 1/3 of a cup of parmiggiano reggiano. I like mixing in fresh chives sometimes. Hold the croutons, I find them to be rather unnecessary. Unless they've been rolled around in smooshed anchovy filets/oil and then baked (as served at The Breslin in NYC).
I like eating my salad with a fork, so the leaves would be chopped bite size.
Great, now I want Caesar! Good thing I'm getting two dozen super-fresh eggs tonight!!!!
I did a test run tonight with some of the lesser quality leaves on my lettuce plants.
Used one garlic clove, a dash of Worcestershire, a tiny dollop of prepared brown mustard, lemon, olive oil, and a yolk from an egg laid yesterday. Fresh grated parm in the dressing and more on top. Salt and fresh cracked pepper, obviously.
It came out very, very good. Never made dressing with raw egg like this before. Hope we aren't hugging the porcelain throne tonight.
I learned by setting up the table side cart for my college's faculty club's restaurant 100s of times.
Start with a wooden bowl.
Add walnut oil and shallots and mash them around into a paste, seasoning the bowl
Scoop most of the shallots out and toss
Add dry mustard, anchovy paste, Lea & Perrins, a coddled egg yolk, a fair bit of fresh ground pepper, and (if needed) a bit more walnut oil and mix well.
Add the romaine and toss well
Add croutons and toss lightly
Sprinkle with gated Parmigiana.
Plate and add pepper to taste.
This became my go to salad when I wanted to impress a date. Follow it up with some grilled salmon or steak and end the night with banana flambe over ice cream.
re: ocshooter
What an interesting twist! I love walnut oil for many salads, but never thought of using it in Caesar. Of course, I use anchovy filets which might overpower the walnut oil.... I'll definitely give that a try next time around, tho. Which is tomorrow. Whole egg, too, not just the yolk.
re: linguafood
I like the paste, it mixes in easier to give that righ saltiness.
re: ocshooter
Oh, the filets turn into a paste, too - along with the garlic & mustard. But you get small flecks of anchovy goodness.
My variation is:
Romaine lettuce cleaned and torn
Shaved Parmesan
Homemade croutons-fresh bread cut into cubes, mixed with crushed garlic and parsley and toasted under the broiler
Chopped avocado
Sautéed portabella mushrooms-sliced, sautéed in olive oil and seasoned with garlic and parsley, salt and pepper
Dressing-chopped garlic, drained anchovies chopped, salt, pepper, worcestishire, touch of Dijon, olive oil and raw eff all blended together.
For us the amounts vary a bit for what we're in the mood for that night,
More heresy from this corner: I am usually a make everything myself sort of person, and I have done most of the things listed above, but my favorite Caesar is romaine, Cardini's dressing thinned with a little lemon, grated Romano, and home made croutons made from cheap, stale grocery store Itlian bread tossed in salt, pepper, olive oil and Herbes d'Provence.
re: tim irvine
Croutons! Try this! Olive oil, a dollop of butter, worcestershire, and crushed garlic. Nuke until the butter melts and you can smell the Worst. Toss with cubes of day-old French or Italian bread (something with substance, not crappy kleenex ben's bread!) and smoosh with your hands until the flavoured oil/butter mixture is infused into the bread. Bake until crisp. This will give you yummy flavoured croutons that are crisp and light, and not hard to bite into as are most croutons. Seriously! Try it!!
re: tim irvine
I'm a do it yourselfer too...but yes..a BIG +1 on the Cardini's.
It's probably the best bottled salad dressing out there.
With a bit of fresh lemon squeezings, and some grated or shredded Pecorino Romano, it makes as good a Caesar salad as I've ever had, anywhere.

After months of fundraising, the Dundee-Memorial Park Neighborhood is getting a facelift.The neighborhood, most recently named as one of the top places in the United States, needed $2.5 million raised in order to begin a renovation project. It will fix sidewalks, curbs, parking and landscape. And local businesses are looking forward to the change.
Inside Scout Dry Goods and Trade, you'll find plenty of clothes, shoes, and other items.
"We look for really unique individual items you can't find," said store manager Caitlin Little.
It's a unique store, just like the neighborhood they call home.
"It's very much a community, we have a community garden, everyone who lives in the area knows all the other business," said Little.
Which is why it's no surprise that Pitch coal fire pizzeria next door shares the same view.
"I've always lived in Dundee and I really like the community, the architecture of the buildings. It's a borough of a huge city, but it's just right here in Omaha and it's great," said General Manager Chris Wray.
But all this great business is surrounded by some run down sidewalks, curbs and landscape. Parking can sometimes be an issue, so is traffic flow.
"This main road gets really really clogged off, especially with all the parking on the streets," said Little.
Wednesday the $2.5 million fundraising goal for renovation was reached. That means the project is moving forward and residents and visitors will see new sidewalks and landscaping. And a four way stop sign at 50th and Underwood instead of a stoplight.
"Any sort of renovations they can do, especially to historic areas is great. You want to be in those areas where they are renovated and it looks great," said Little.
"Getting the whole streetscape done here will really take this area back to the way it was in the 40's and 50's back when the cable car ran through. And you know it was just a really neat place to go," said Wray.
Donations for the project came from local businesses, and a few non profits. There was one anonymous donor, who contributed $775,000. Construction bids are being taken and fundraising will continue throughout the process.

Horseshoe Bend, The Edge of Autumn
Title: The Edge of Autumn
Date: September 2014
Camera& Lens: Nikon D800E & Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
Exposure: 11 exposures blended for depth-of-field. All at 1/20 second at f/8, ISO 100.
Standing on the edge of the Horseshoe Bend overlook 1000 feet above the Colorado River is a rush. The river, meandering below, reflects the deep blues of the sky above as the first rays of the morning sun paint the distant canyon wall in hues of gold and red. At my feet are the first signs of autumn.
Photographer's technical notes:
In the past I would have used a small aperture value such as f/16 or f/22 to capture this scene with an extreme depth-of-field through-out the photo. The trade-off of using a small aperture is that while you gain a deeper focus you also lose clarity and sharpness due to what is known as diffraction. This loss of sharpness means that I wouldn't be able to print as large as I would like.
To create this photo and overcome the limitations of diffraction, I used a technique known as "focus stacking" to maintain the highest levels of clarity and sharpness through-out the scene. I photographed it at f/8, first focusing on the foreground followed by a series of successive photos, slowly moving my focus further into the scene with each image. In total I captured 11 image frames, which were then assembled in post-production to achieve the depth-of-field of photographing the scene at f/22, but while maintaining the high levels of sharpness of photographing each element of the scene at f/8. The end result is that I have incredible clarity, sharpness, and detail throughout the entire photo and can comfortably print this up to 5 or even 6 feet tall.
A.J. Gets His Wish thanks to Make-A-Wish and Treehouse Masters
This past August, my wife Sally and I had the privilege of photographing a very special event.
Just down the street from us here in Flagstaff, Arizona, is an 8-year old boy named A.J., who has spinal muscular atrophy. Being like many other young boys, A.J. likes to get out and explore, but being confined to a motorized wheelchair, there was one place he couldn't explore…up in the trees. Thanks to a doctor's recommendation, A.J. was made a candidate for Make-A-Wish, an organization known for granting wishes to children with life threatening medical conditions.
A.J. had one wish and that was for a tree house like those built by Pete Nelson of Nelson Treehouse and Supply on the Animal Planet show "Treehouse Masters." Thanks to the hard work of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, A.J. got his wish.
On August 3rd, months of planning came together. We met with the production crew, and staff from Make-A-Wish. We photographed the "behind-the-scenes" action as the production crew filmed the interviews with the Make-A-Wish people, and as they prepared to surprise A.J. and grant him his wish.
We then did our best impersonation of a special ops team as we made our way to A.J.'s home. We didn't want to tip-off the neighbors and above all else we need to maintain the element of surprise. Sneaking up through his yard, Pete along with the 4 camera teams for the production company took up their positions, with me in tow.
Finally the moment had arrived. Pete went to the front door of A.J.'s family's home and rang the door bell. At this point I'll get pretty emotional. The expression on A.J's face when he saw Pete was priceless. I'm going to let the photos do the talking from this point forward. See the photos of A.J. getting his wish of a tree house built by Pete Nelson of Treehouse Masters.
I'd like to thank the Make-A-Wish Foundation and A.J.'s family for allowing us to be a part of such a special moment. It was truly an honor to be part of this. I'd also like to thank Pete Nelson of Nelson Treehouse and Supply for his kindness and generosity, and yes he is as nice in person as he is on camera. We also need to acknowledge the support of the production crew. It was awesome to work alongside you and thanks for lunch! Lastly, we have thank the our local firefighters of the Highlands Fire District that spent nearly 2 weeks building a 108 foot long wheelchair ramp for A.J.'s treehouse. These are some of the same guys that helped protect our neighborhood just 3 months earlier when the Slide Fire came with 3 miles of it. Thank you for what you have done for our community.

This past June I spent a day hiking up and down the length of the Virgin River Narrows in Zion National Park in search of an "ah ha" moment. These are the moments that take your breath away. I was looking for not only a stunning location, but I wanted a contrast of color and light.
The Virgin River twists and winds its way through several miles of The Narrows. Being deep in this canyon, light may only reach a small section of the canyon at river level after first reflecting off the sandstone walls above. Some locations within the Narrows may not see any light at all. Add in the fact that the light is always changing and it can become difficult to be in the right spot at the right time.Read More»

I'm back from Zion National Park in Utah where I spent a few days hiking both the Virgin River Narrows and the Subway. The temperature was hovering around 100 degrees, but the cool rushing waters of the Virgin River were refreshing. Here we have the Virgin River as it carves its way through the Narrows.

Foreword: Chasing the Light – Grand Canyon
Earlier today I announced the release of my first book, Chasing the Light – Grand Canyon, a 192-page hard-cover book with almost 190 color photographs of the Grand Canyon. I've been working on this project along with my publisher, Park Partners, for quite some time.
I'm sharing the Foreword in the book with you here to give you an idea of why I created this collection of my photographic works and what this book, and the Grand Canyon, mean to me. You can pre-order the book directly from me at the following link: http://adamschallau.com/grand-canyon-book/
"In 1999 I made my first trip to the American Southwest to visit and explore our National Parks. This trip, planned as a 1-week excursion, had stops scheduled in the iconic locations including Grand Canyon National Park. My goal was to "experience" as much of the Southwest as possible in this short time.
After 2 days of driving, my wife and I arrived at the Grand Canyon. The sun was setting and we were running short on time.We quickly checked into our camp site at Mather Campground, and then found our way to the canyon's rim.
Seven years earlier, I had been living in Colorado working at a high-altitude field research station. I was surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks with fields of wildflowers and streams fed by melting snow. For a young man that had come from a big city in Texas, I was now living in a near-Utopian environment. Nothing could possibly be more beautiful.Read More»

Buoyed by away victories at Arsenal and Tottenham, Hull City will head to Old Trafford believing they can win, says Patrice Evra.
The left-back has joined the ever growing list of admirers of Phil Brown's side, who saw their six-game unbeaten run brought to an end on Wednesday night by Chelsea.
Nevertheless, Evra believes confidence will still be sky high in the Tigers camp and says United will need to be on their guard on Saturday afternoon.
"When you beat the big teams, in particular, you feel more confident and it gives you more freedom to play good football. That's why I expect them to come for a win," Evra exclusively told United Review.
"I don't expect to see all of their players defending, I think they'll have a go. If that happens I think it could be a great game because that would open up space for us."
Saturday's clash will see Evra renew acquaintances with French compatriot Bernard Mendy. The pair have been firm friends since their days

Chief executive, Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO) from 2000
Sir Stephen Bubb has been chief executive at the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (Acevo) since 2000.
Under his leadership Acevo has become an effective lobbying body with strong links into government and campaigns hard for greater delivery of public services by charities.
Prior to joining Acevo Sir Stephen had worked as director of personnel at the National Lottery Charities Board, head of personnel at the Association of Metropolitan Authorities, negotiations officer at the National Union of Teachers and research officer at the Transport and General Workers' Union.
He studied for a politics and philosophy degree at Oxford University where he also got his Masters in economics.
He is a colourful and sometimes controversial figure in the sector and writes a popular and often provocative blog that details his extensive networking and even aspects of his personal life. He has his own parody figure in the form of Sir Robin Bogg, chief executive of the spoof British Umbrella Backing Body (BUBB), who writes a tongue-in-cheek blog uncannily similar to Sir Stephen's own.
He was knighted in the 2011 New Year's Honours List.

Cubs manager Dale Sveum can relate to Kevin Ware's leg trauma
By GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com April 5, 2013 11:24PM
Anthony Rizzo, B.J. Upton
Updated: May 7, 2013 6:18AM
ATLANTA — When Cubs manager Dale Sveum saw the video of Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware's gruesome leg injury a few days ago, he had a more personal reaction than most.
''It's a flashback moment,'' Sveum said. ''It happened to both of us. It's something that you'll never forget. . . . It's just such a trauma, such a big trauma incident, that you're never going to forget it. And it's never going to go away.''
While the Cubs face the Atlanta Braves across town at Turner Field on Saturday night, Ware is expected to draw as much attention as any of his teammates at the Georgia Dome, where Louisville plays Wichita State in a Final Four semifinal.
''I felt horrible about it. Obviously, I went through the same thing,'' said Sveum, who was a rising-star shortstop with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1988 when he suffered career-altering leg injuries in a horrific crash with teammate Darryl Hamilton while chasing a foul popup.
''Hopefully, he can come back. I don't know if he can come back from something like that. But that was eye-opening, to say the least.''
Sveum never was anywhere close to the player he had been. But what he went through to come back at all — and to stick in the majors for nine more seasons with six more teams — might be a big part of why he's the field boss for Theo Epstein's team right now.
''You could go on and on about all the avenues that it probably created for me to learn a lot more about the game and to understand that [managing] was something I was going to want to do,'' Sveum said. ''I ended up doing so many things on the field, playing so many different positions, being the main pinch-hitter off the bench . . .''
Between his early-career star status and his constant struggles to keep a big-league job after the injury, Sveum also found unique perspective to relate to players across a wide spectrum.
''That's where I can identify with all our bench players — I can identify with what it's like to double switch when it's 20 degrees outside and go up there and pinch-hit,'' he said. ''It helps to be able to identify and realize how difficult some of these jobs are — how difficult it is to play every day, let alone playing off the bench. It helps a lot.''
Shortstop Starlin Castro played in his 200th consecutive game Friday night. It's the longest active streak in the National League and second in the majors only to the Detroit Tigers' Prince Fielder (347).
''It's nice to have a guy, let alone your shortstop, that'll go out there every day,'' Sveum said.
◆ When Scott Feldman lasted just 42/3 rocky innings Friday night, the starting staff's ERA went from 0.95 to 2.28 (232/3 innings).
◆ Scott Hairston led off the fifth inning with the team's third home run of the season. Five of the Cubs' seven runs have scored on long balls.

Story updated 02/12/2008
United will face Southampton at St Mary's in the FA Cup third round. The tie will kick off at 16:00 GMT on Sunday 4 January and will be shown live in the UK on Setanta Sports.
The Reds have played the Saints 13 times before in the competition, losing just twice. Of course, one of those occasions came at Wembley in the final in 1976.
Sir Alex Ferguson is pleased to have avoided top-flight opposition and is looking forward to the tie, which will take place over the weekend of 3/4 January.
"It's the first time for quite a while that we've not had a Premier League side, so we're thankful for that," he told MUTV.
"St. Mary's is a terrific stadium with a good pitch and hopefully we'll be all right."
Elsewhere, Chelsea entertain Southend of League One, Arsenal host Championship outfit Plymouth and Manchester City have a home tie against Championship strugglers Nottingham Forest.

All Long Islanders want dangerous criminals off our streets.
So the catchily-named Secure Communities immigration enforcement program, purportedly designed to go after serious criminal offenders, seems simple at first glance.
It's a federal program that takes the fingerprints of anyone who is arrested and automatically checks those prints against a national immigration database. If immigration officials have questions about a person's immigration status, that person can be detained by local authorities and eventually placed in deportation proceedings.
After watching a very disturbing movie, Incendies, on a Friday night, Lorraine (my beautiful wife) and I stepped into the lobby of the theater.
There he was! I had taken his course in philosophy and I recognized him immediately. He barely knew me, but after a short conversation it all came back to him. I was a student and he was the professor. It was about seven years ago.
The annual migration of birds coincides with nature's rebirth, which alters the landscape. Birding in early spring begins with barren terrain and over the course of a few weeks, as Mother Nature sketches a work in progress, the vista changes the whole time, delighting the senses.
The theme of the latest Woody Allan movie Midnight in Paris has been captured in English Literature many times. "We are living in dreary, unproductive and somber times at the present and we long for wonderful and exciting yesterdays." The heroes of the past are elevated to glorious heights and we stand in awe of them and, to a degree, worship them.
The Plainview-Old Bethpage Board of Education would like to thank all our stakeholders for your support in passing both our 2011-12 School Budget and Capital Reserve propositions by 65 percent!

While driving east on the Long Island Expressway, I observed a most disheartening sight. On the right hand side, between exits 48 and 49, where there once were glorious orange pumpkin fields, only large metal skeletons are visible. My mind's eye reflected back to hundreds of children wandering through the crops and choosing the proper sized and shaped pumpkin for their homes and classrooms.
How can these future office buildings or condominiums attempt to replace the enchantment and glee of our future generations? To paraphrase Joni Mitchell, "You pave paradise and put up a parking lot."
We looked at the N.Y. Times listing of plays for a Wednesday matinee and we chose Arcadia, a Tom Stoppard play. It was listed as "best play revival" and "best featured actor," Billy Cruddup. A code number and a credit card got us 4th row center seats at a discounted price.
We hopped an LIRR train at 12:22 at the Hicksville station. The conductor arrived and we requested senior citizen rates to Penn Station. A darling woman in the seat in front of us turned around and said to Lorraine, "You can't be a senior citizen, you are too pretty and young looking." What a wonderful way to start the day!
For too long, Nassau Coliseum and the property that surrounds it has laid to waste rather than generate revenue for the county that can help hold the line on property taxes. The Coliseum is no longer competitive with other sports complexes around the nation. Long Island's only professional sports team, the Islanders, face the potential of having to leave Nassau in 2015 when their lease expires should a new arena not be built. A countless number of residents have contacted me with concerns over losing the Islanders. These residents do not want to see the Coliseum doors shuttered, people losing their jobs or the loss of economic benefits currently received from our hotels, restaurants and stores.
The Spanish explorers in the 16th century traveled across the Atlantic Ocean on a mission of dual purposes. It was God and gold. Which one was more important is a question that was never truly answered.
The Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru were brutalized by Cortez and Pizarro. The Spaniards were fed by a legend called El Dorado. Gold was reputed to be as common as sand. The Gold Rush of 1849 brought people from all over the world to California. So many miners came to the California territory that it had enough people to be admitted as a state in 1850.
Flemming Hansen didn't necessarily expect to be an entrepreneur. And he didn't expect to be plying his trade here on Long Island.
Growing up in Denmark, he aspired to become a chef; decades later, he found success as a baker. Close enough.
But to his surprise, he ended up running a profitable business far from his native homeland: In 1998, Hansen opened Copenhagen Bakery in Northport, which has become one of the best-known and most popular cake shops on Long Island.

Regression can be so soothing. Since local children's show Peppermint Place went off the air in 1996, anyone who saw Mr. Peppermint and Muffin is now old enough to enjoy the nostalgia that the sight of Jerry Haynes in his peppermint suit with his worn-down carpet of a puppet would surely encourage. Generations of kids and middle-aged folk have the chance to wish him a happy 79th birthday, watch Peppermint Place bloopers, listen to a few bands and give $5 to the American Diabetes Association while they're at it. They might want to thank him for his many contributions to Texas music--you already knew he's the father of head Butthole Surfer Gibby Haynes, but did you know that, according to Erykah Badu in a 1996 Dallas Observer story, he judged a talent show and encouraged a 12-year-old Badu to pursue singing?
While Brave Combo's live act isn't nearly as difficult to catch as Haynes', the Grammy-winning polka outfit's party rock can be a dorky thrill of a live show. They know the level of patience most people possess for pure polka is low and accordingly mix in various other genres like bossa nova, salsa and ska.

Virginia Tech students got another scare this morning when police stormed a building on campus.
Swat teams entered Burruss Hall after getting reports of suspicious activity.
Some people inside the building were evacuated.
Officials say reports of the suspicious activity turned out to be false.
Still, the false alarm rattled some students.
"They were pulling people out and screaming don't let anyone else in the building and to secure the location and let everyone out," said Cerryn Petty, Virginia Tech student, "Then we were pushed back."

OK, Maybe NASCAR Isn't That Bad Right Now
On Friday's Mac Attack, NASCAR took a beating from fans who claimed "it isn't as good as it used to be." I agreed on a variety of fronts. Things like the advantage of clean air for the leader at cookie cutter tracks, lack of a true blue collar driver and the long schedule all bother me.
But, it is still the best type of racing in the world. And, two things I saw today while watching open wheel racing made me realize that NASCAR does have it perks.
First, the Monaco Grand Prix in F1 today. Nic Rosberg led EVERY lap. If that happened in NASCAR, fans would claim they would never go to a race again. Talk about no passing.
And, second, the Indy 500 had some great racing, The lead swapping down the stretch was awesome. But, a caution comes out with two laps to go and I am waiting for a green white checkered finish. Instead the Announcers say "That is it." Then I remembered the old days of NASCAR races ending under caution. That's such an anticlimactic was to see a great race end. Advantage NASCAR.
I was glad to see Tony Kanaan win though. It was long overdue.
