What is the One Veggie You Couldn't Live Without
onions and garlic for cooking don't count!
I think for me it would be lettuce (because I love my salads) and broccoli. I feel like broccoli goes with anything (eggs, meats, salads, straight up on its own) and with just about every cuisine. Plus it's a great source of calcium, among other nutrients, something most women don't get enough of on an everyday basis.
What about you?
Coming from someone who has tasted practically every cuisine known to man, I'm sure it sounds strange that the one vegetable that I couldn't live without is sweet corn. Just plain, ol' fashioned corn on the cob with a dab of butter just has no equal. It may not be the most diverse vegetable in the world (although, if you take corn as a whole for the example, it's pretty diverse!), but there's no replacement for it.

re: sirregular
If I knew that a world without corn existed, I might wonder the worth of it! I am a huge produce person, and will leave pieces of meat on the plate when full but will hunt down every last delicious kernel of corn!
re: sirregular
I'm with you on the corn. I can't wait until it comes back in season.
re: rainbowbrown
"fruit" is a botanical term. "Vegetable" us a culinary term. A tomato is a fruit AND a vegetable.
I couldn't live without potatoes.
Carrots - I am a bit of a produce junkie in general, but I snack on carrots more than any other veggie. They're yummy plain, roasted, dipped in PB, hummus, cream cheese etc. and they also travel well. I really love sweet potatoes too though and the idea of being without them makes me sad. I think I must have a thing for orange veggies...
re: ArikaDawn
I'm with you on the carrots - I can eat a whole bag of baby carrots in one sitting if I'm not careful.
I'd add a green veggie - probably broccoli - to that, and tomatoes, if only for the cooking versatility.
But really, I love all veggies, so thank God we don't really have to choose.
Since tomatoes, onions, and garlic don't count, I would say spinach - for the same reasons you listed above: versatility and flexibility.
Broccoli, eggplant, various kinds of squash also make my list. Sigh, that's more than one vegetable....
If I were stuck in a world with only one vegetable, it'd have to be cabbage. Not that it's my favorite by a long shot, but in terms both of nutrition and versatility you can't beat it. It goes with any diet; it's good raw, boiled, braised, steamed, and godnose how many varieties of pickled. Diabetics can eat it, people with gout can eat it, nursing mothers and toothless grannies on their deathbeds can eat it - and all of those kinds of people SHOULD eat it. Not to mention it grows easily in damn near any soil or climate. It is not by accident that it's a mainstay of more cuisines than any other food item I can think of, and in many parts of the world (Northern and Central Europe especially) there were long periods when if people hadn't had cabbage they would not have eaten regularly.
re: Will Owen
Also it's there for you in the wintertime.
re: Will Owen
Cabbage commonly appears on of lists of foods nursing mothers should eliminate if their babies are experiencing painful gas and/or colic symptoms. But I see it is also a traditional nursing food in some cultures.
re: Will Owen
Cabbage for me, too. But it IS my favorite, lightly sauteed with EVOO and garlic, salt and cracked papper.
re: Will Owen
Cabbage is so underrated!
re: LindaWhit
I will admit I was taking the OP's proposition literally - like, you might think, "Oh, if I couldn't have potatoes I'd just DIE!", but if potatoes were the only vegetable left to you, you really would. Of scurvy.
On the emotional level, though, I'm with you.
re: Will Owen
i once had a frieind tell me that if we had another potato famine...i wouldn't survive.......i'm much better now, hehe.
re: Will Owen
Yes, but wouldn't lemons, limes and oranges and other citrus help take care of scurvy? Not vegetables, and the assumption is there are plenty of fruits available. :-)
re: Will Owen
Actually, potatoes are the one solid foodstuff you can live longest on. It even has vitamin C. You only need milk to complete it.
Gotta be the tomato. You can make juice to drink, sauce for all sorts of things, a good Insalata Caprese, fried when green, ketchup (of course!), and just eat them out of your hand. Way more versatile than cabbage or potatoes, IMHO.
And my three favourite sandwiches: toasted tomato (whole wheat bread, slathered with mayo and lots of fresh ground pepper), the traditional club (turkey, bacon, and tomato), and my Toronto fave "the Hollywood" from the Vesta Lunch - tomato, bacon, and chicken salad.
Funny seeing all the answers for potato. Though it may be technically a vegetable, I don't consider it one.
My vote is for water spinach. I love it.
i immediately knew it was spinach -- i love spinach everything. then i saw the pro=potato posts, and i wavered. then the tomato post. eggplant. english peas.....sugar snapa. sweet summer corn.....and how could i forget artichokes?
shoot, i give up!
sooo hard... cauliflower, eggplant, hearts of palm, mushrooms, artichoke would be my tops... then a second tier would be green beans, broccoli, asparagus, greens
however, the point about lettuce was a good one, though i can do a salad of just veggies without lettuce... i do at salad bars!
re: Emme
i'm with emme & alk...i could never choose, and i'd have to add zucchini, carrots and celery to the list. i'm hopeless with these types of questions because i love too many things. i'd rather just be thankful that - at least at this moment - i don't have to imagine a life with such restrictions :)
re: goodhealthgourmet
I think it's a good thing that most of us on here struggle with this question. There are WAY too many people, I am close to several, who will really only eat one or two vegetables even with access to them all. Loving all vegetables is a good problem to have. It still shocks me, and this happened again the other night, when I am out to dinner with a friend and I hear, "I hate salad."
Oh, I also do not think I could live without tomatoes. So now it is carrots, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes.
re: ArikaDawn
we ruled out tomatoes because botanically they're considered to be fruit.
in fact, so are eggplant, peppers, squash, bean & pea pods, avocado and okra.
and if we want to get REALLY technical, even corn is a fruit because each kernel develops from a separate seed-bearing ovary.
the sacrifice suddenly sounds a little less torturous, huh? ;)
re: goodhealthgourmet
Less torturous so long as we aren't limited to just one fruit as well ;)
re: JMF
hmmm, yes, add onions. is garlic a veg? why not, it is like an onion, right?
how could i forget garlic and onions? two of God's best creations, as i say! esp. when sauteeing in olive oil.
okay, since i have named a big portion of the veggie kingdom as "must haves", then here is one i can do without: rhubarb.
Another vote for potatoes. They are so versitile. As long as we have onions and garlic to go with them, we're good to go!
When Olathe sweet corn from Colorado, (or equivalents elsewhere) is at its best, I can happily eschew meat with a dinner in favor of a half dozen ears with butter and salt. This from a hard core carnivor; vegetarians have hijacked my real name.
That's a really tough question - I'm not certain I can narrow it down to one per season. I love mushrooms, green leafy vegetables, root vegetables, all forms of allium, and the list goes on! It would be a close contest between some of the more flavorful green leafy vegetables and perhaps sweet potatoes?
re: vonwotan
Doesn't anyone love asparagus as much as me??? Steamed, broiled or roasted, in an omelette etc.... YUM
re: maisonbistro
i love asparagus too...but if it's the only vegetable you're going to eat for the rest of your life, i'd suggest investing in a pretty powerful bathroom deodorizer ;)
re: goodhealthgourmet
True. But I still love the darned stuff.
re: maisonbistro
Absolutely. That's what makes the question so tough. Asparagus (esp. our northern italian white), artichokes, radicchio, etc. I am definitely a carnivore/omnivore but, I would go nuts if I could not indulge in the great variety of farm fresh vegetables, legumes, tubers, etc. Grilled vegetabels, especially asparagus, are simple elegant and delicious.
I was gonna answer before reading other posts, so I wasn't influenced, but broke down. My first thought was maybe broccoli or lettuce, but after reading, I agree on spinach. I have spinach for every meal of the day. With eggs; salads; added to bread; cooked with cream, garlic, nutmeg; in meatloaf; layered in pasta dishes; homemade spinach pasta; and much more!
I am too late to edit my plaintive wail above in defense of sweet corn, but a mention about chilies has prompted what would otherwise have been my choice. Life without chilies would be as bland and unfulfilling as life without the 3 tenors, elves, Catherine Zeta Jones, Edgar Allen Poe, and the Ernests Hemingway and Borgnine, combined.
My immediate reaction is tomatoes (assuming garlic isn't considered a vegetable). So versatile, and essential to some of my favorite meals. Other than tomatoes I most often buy green beans, eggplant, and asparagus -- I think I'd choose eggplant of these three because it is also quite versatile and can be used for many dishes.
I can't live without my tomatoes. I know tomatoes are a really a fruit, even though they are used more as a vegetable. But that's the one thing I can't live without. I always have to put in in my salads and it's always on my grocery list. Tomato is definitely the winner.
I'd have to say spinach, which I am addicted to...also, arugula, roasted brussels sprouts, broccoli, mushrooms. And in season only...tomatoes!!
Wow. I couldn't live happily without most things mentioned, and many others. I find I don't want to. I wonder about these either/or posts and the "if stranded on a desert island" questions. I want all these wonderful vegetables and fruits around in perpetuity. Because they are wonderful to eat. It's why I try to eat locally in most cases. It's also why i try to eat globally as well.
The one thing I cannot live without on my table is the bounty of the Earth. Animal, Vegetable, Mineral...too many to choose from. Taste and tend them all.
We can inure ourselves against most things; can we do the same against delicious food?
Signed: Can't Live Without The Veggies Except Maybe Rutabagas-That-I-Had-Too-Much-Of-In-My-Youth,
re: homecook1
I never considered that mushrooms were veggies (thanks to my biology torture, didn't think garlic was either), yeah, they're essential.
re: steinpilz
i guess mushroom is a veg IF you only classify the world into animal, vegetable, mineral.
Wow, even tho I don't consider myself a great connisour of veggies, I admit life would be sad without them. I love sweet corn, potatoes, mushrooms and asparagus. To eat only ONE? FOREVER? The mind boggles. It probably would end up being sweet corn, as so much can be done with it. Then...asparagus. Or would it be mushrooms?
Isn't it wonderful we don't HAVE to eat only one!?
Potatoes! Is what I thought when I first read your post. They're so versatile. Add me to the group that's very glad we don't have to pick just one.
Onions get my vote. Not as a stand alone vegetable but since they are an integral part of most dishes I would find it hard to cook without them.
Bell peppers. They turn up in my stews, soups, Italian, Asian and Mexican recipes. In all colors. Broccoli next -- we eat it several times a week.

Action, complexity and a centre
Just coming off an Art of Hosting with friends Tenneson Woolf, Caitlin Frost and Teresa Posakony. Â Something Tenneson said on our last day as we were hunkering down to do some action planning, has stayed with me. Â He said something like "it is easy to create actions that go off in a million different directions, but much more sensible to create actions that come from a common centre. Â There is something about holding that common centre together invites trust so that we can release responsibility to action conveners and known they are initiating works that comes from our common shared purpose."
People often make the distinction between talk and action, largely in my experience as an objection to the amount of time it takes to be in conversation around complex topics. Â It seems that with complexity the conversation is endless and can go on forever. Â And almost by defintion, that is true. Â That can be a very frustrating experience if you consider the action – reflection process to be a linear one in which we spend time figuring out what we are going to do and then go and do it.
That approach works well in the complicated domain where everything can be known, or enough can be known that we can discern the wisest path forward. Â But the complex domain contains a number of features which makes that kind of linear thinking folly. Â First of all there is the prospect of emergence: things will happen as a result of interactions in the system which could never have been predicted and which may radically alter strategy and action. Secondly, actions undertaken in the complex domain cannot have their success or effectiveness guaranteed and therefore complex systems actually benefit from having many actions undertaken, with an ongoing developmental evaluation process as to the efficacy of these actions and the connection to the centre of action is constantly changing.
A lot of the work I do in hosting conversations is about both discerning what is our shared purpose as well as generating action that can come from that shared purpose. Â And, with the smart clients I have, we repeat that cycle over and over as they continue to operate in a changing and complex world. Â It creates strategy that represents a fine line between reacting and hedging your bets on some pretty good ideas. Â Conversation and time and a wicked question helps us to check into and explore a deeper core purpose that can lie at the centre of ideas for action. Â I have been lately calling this a generative core: an idea at the centre that is so powerful and compelling that it alone can inspire interesting and creative ideas. There is an energy to a generative core that is inviting, and that seems to make people WANT to be in conversation and relationship with it. Â There is a quality to the questions that lie in the generative core that open ourselves in exciting ways to new possibilities. Â Good conversation can help to illuminate this core purpose
Action planning from this place means coming up with good ideas and designing what David Snowden and others have called "safe-fail probes" which allows us to begin small. Â In the Berkana Institute we call this approach "start anywhere and follow it somewhere" indicating that this kind of action creates its own momentum over time and therefore needs to be shaped and carefully watched. Â Action that arises from agenerative core can be borne in conversation, and should be developmentally evaluated in conversation. Â Conversation becomes a key tool in designing, evaluating and making meaning of what is going on. Â And while actions and probes are being designed, tested and implemented, at the same time we have to pay attention to what we are learning about our core purpose, because that is always changing too.
This is not easy to understand, especially in a world where proceeding in an orderly direction from point A to point B is a desirable and seemingly sensible thing to do. Â But understanding the nature of complexity is important for action planning, because it can actually unleash the kinds of ideas that otherwise seem to never come to the surface. Â And it can make a community or organization powerfully resilient to shifts and changes that require retooling without stopping. Â It seems like a long investment of time to be in conversations that slow things down, but I invite slowing down to go fast, because the speed at which activities and ideas can be implemented on the other side of a well centred and well bounded discernment process can be breathtaking.
Comments (3)
emergence, that is key. In a reductionist worldview in which all actions are predetermined by their causal antecedents there is no space for the possibility of emergence. Part of me senses a resistance to this idea, especially in the American culture, because of what its adoption implies: that we are not in control of everything that happens. We are not the masters of our destiny. There is both tragedy and miracle in the world.
for leaders this may be daunting. to have to give up control when ones identity in the structure is to be the one in control
to embrace emergence seems like a crazy paradox. it means to accept both our power to create radically unique and new things that quite literally pop out of nowhere, and our powerlessness in the face of a universe that besides all the laws that govern it can be unpredictable and surprising. It is a concept that both empowers you too create and asks you to let go.
Thank you for this, Chris. I love the phrase "generative core." Lately, I've been inviting groups to act out that concept physically to help them understand it. I offer it in the context of the pattern of living systems (as I see it). I'll share a brief description of the exercise here – there`s an important twist at the end. First, I ask the group to mill around the room, acting like divergent parts ("you're a very important person on a busy sidewalk in NYC"). Then I ask them to move around greeting other people warmly, in a rich pattern of relationship. Then I ask them to imagine a shared purpose in the center of the room that acts like a magnet holding them lightly together, giving wholeness and shape to their group. I stand in the middle representing that core purpose ("You are all here to serve me!") And I ask the group to move to one side of the room and then to the other, maintaining the shape of wholeness. Then I put on music and we weave together all three of the previous steps – divergent parts, in a rich pattern of relationship, forming an emergent whole around shared purpose, moving dynamically across the room. What was previously flat and even awkward becomes flowing, creative, self-organizing and alive. The music represents the life in the system and the group's commitment to stewardship, as people listen for what's needed. To me, this last aspect is a powerful part of making the core generative. It becomes even more powerful as we name it and work with it.

So the gym I go to has this leg press machine. My question is since the foot plate (for lack of a better term) is angled, where is the best place to put my feet? The upper or lower part? Or in between? Or does it really matter?
My leg routine consists of leg press, hack squats, leg extensions, RDLs, leg curls, and a separate day for deadlifts if it matters. I would love to do squats, but they hurt the left side of my hip too much. It pops and everything, none of these exercises bother it.

BP fines should fund Gulf restoration, report says
Under current law, BP faces fines ranging from $1,100 per barrel spilled to as high as $4,300 per barrel spilled, if negligence is proved.
Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 11:17 PM
CLEANUP: The report presented by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus seeks to dedicate a portion of "any obtained Clean Water Act civil penalties directly to the Gulf states," in a bid to secure a stable channel of funds to finance their recovery. (Photo: Charles Dh
President Barack Obama's pointman on restoring the oil spill-hit Gulf coast recommended the area's recovery be funded in part by fines levied against BP, which could run to billions of dollars.
The report presented by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus seeks to dedicate a portion of "any obtained Clean Water Act civil penalties directly to the Gulf states," in a bid to secure a stable channel of funds to finance their recovery.
Mabus, tasked by Obama in June to create a plan to restore the region, also urged the US Congress to create a Gulf Coast Recovery Council to oversee the funds.
Under current law, BP faces fines ranging from $1,100 per barrel spilled to as high as $4,300 per barrel spilled, if negligence is proved.
That means the British-based energy giant could face penalties of up to 17.6 billion dollars for the 4.1 million barrels that gushed into the Gulf.
Mabus's recommendations drew praise from Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu, whose state was heavily affected by the spill and has called for at least 80 percent of BP's fine payments to go toward a recovery fund.
She told the investigating panel she was "thrilled" by Mabus's report and that Louisiana and the entire Gulf region were in dire need of a "dedicated and robust stream of revenue" to finance recovery efforts.
In a statement, Obama also praised Mabus's report, saying it provided a "commonsense proposal for a path forward."
"My administration is committed to working with the people of the Gulf to help them restore the ecosystems that support them, rebuild their livelihoods and safeguard their health and safety."
Some 205 million gallons of oil flowed into the Gulf after the April 20 explosion aboard the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon oil rig, impacting the crucial fishing and tourism industries and destroying hundreds of miles of the region's fragile coastal ecosystems.
"The effects of the oil spill may reverberate in the region and across the country for years to come," warned Mabus.
About one third of the seafood harvested in the continental United States comes from the Gulf, which also produces some 30 percent of America's oil and 13 percent of its natural gas.
"America needs the Gulf. America needs the Gulf to be clean. America needs the Gulf to be healthy," he said.
Mabus said Obama will create an interim Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force, headed by Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, to immediately begin coordinating the region's recovery.
The body would be dissolved or modified after Congress creates a new Recovery Council, he said.
Mark Tercek, head of non-profit group Nature Conservancy, told the panel in testimony Tuesday that his organization "strongly supports" Mabus's report.
The largest maritime oil spill in history "has refocused the nation's attention on one of the most important and productive ecosystems on Earth," Tercek said, adding that while "the full impact of the spill will not be known for some time, we can start recovery now with dedicated investment."
Earlier, commission co-chair Bob Graham, a former Florida senator, urged lawmakers to tackle lax safety protections on other drilling operations further offshore.
"It's clear the move to deep water represents an enormous change in the U.S. energy exploration," Graham said. "Unfortunately our government and industry did not undergo a similar transformation in its regulatory, safety and response focus."
In 1990, wells drilled at more than 1,000 feet accounted for four percent of the Gulf of Mexico's oil production. By 2009 that figure had soared to 80 percent, he noted.
In the past five years the number of ultra-deep wells — more than 5000 feet — climbed from one percent to 32 percent.
Describing policy failures that reached back decades across both Democrat and Republican administrations, Graham urged better regulation of deep water drilling technology. "We need such a change," he said.
BP said earlier this month it has spent $9.5 billion on the oil spill so far.
The group has forecast that the environmental catastrophe will cost a total of about $32.2 billion, after pushing it into a record $16.9 billion loss in the second quarter of the year.
BP is also funding a $20 billion account which began paying out in August amid worries from potential claimants who fear they will not be adequately compensated.

Sportsbook bonuses can be extremely confusing. There's the traditional cash bonus which is simply money added to the player's balance; there are freeplays which is an amount given to the player so that he can risk only bonus funds. Only if he wins his freeplay wagers does that win amount get added to his balance; and then there are match bets which are similar to free plays except the bookmaker requires they are made on a certain sporting events. Each one has different value. SBR has organized the Best Sportsbook Bonuses page below by what we are calling the "True Bonus".
Here's the True Bonus formula which is very basic. Every online sportsbook bonus has a requirement of betting the deposit amount + bonus amount. That is called the play-through or rollover requirement. For example, if you take a bonus of 10%, $10 on a $100 deposit, one play-through or rollover is $110. So if you have a 3X play-through, your total amount to wager before you can withdraw any funds is $330. Now if you have been given a freeplay, and we are going to simplify this here, you have a 50/50 shot of winning your bet(s) and at bringing that money to your balance. So a $100 freeplay bonus is automatically being valued at half that as $50. Let's say you got that freeplay after a deposit of your own $100 cash, and the play-through requirement is a 3 time rollover, you have to bet the amount of your $100 deposit plus your bonus amount 3 times, which would be a total of $600 in betting required.
People often will say they dislike freeplays or match bets but, if you have a low rollover requirement of say 1X, versus a 5X for cash bonus the freeplay of the same amount would be much more valuable. So what we've done on this sportsbook review bonus page is ordered the bonuses by the amount given per rollover required in an attempt to put all "bonus amounts" on the same scale. On our bonus ranking chart you will find the bonus amount simplified and divided by the rollover required. This is what makes the bonus per rollover or "True Bonus". This page is ordered by bonus value per play for online sportsbooks rated C- or higher by SBR.

The next thing a sports bettor needs to be aware of before accepting any bonus are the terms and conditions. All bonuses require what's referred to as a "rollover", or play-through, and this requires the bettor make a certain amount of wagers before requesting a payout. For example, assuming a $1,000 deposit with a $100 cash bonus, the bonus formula would most everywhere be that the player bet through his deposit+bonus+X times. If we assume the rollover is 3X, then the player must use his deposit ($1,000) and bonus ($100) 3 times, for a total of $3,300 in wagers. In order to ensure the player doesn't simply find the biggest favorite listed and easily bet the required amount without really giving the sportsbook any action, the industry standard is for sportsbooks to track rollover counting the lesser of the risk/win amount. For example, if a player wagers on a traditionally placed wager at -110, and wagers $110 to win $100, the lesser amount ($100) is what's counted toward the player's required $3,300 in action using the sample parameters.
Players are advised not to simply choose a sportsbook with the biggest bonus amount. Many operators that have trouble paying or in fact have no intention to pay use bonuses as a carrot to dangle over potential customers to entice them to deposit. The goal of SportsbookReview.com is to act as an information portal, and also industry watchdog, to ensure that players have ample information to aid them in making a sound decision on where to send their hard-earned funds. SBR offers a complete reviews page, recommended list, and ratings guide which ranks sportsbooks from A+ to F — the lower on the letter scale, the bigger the risk associated with the company. In addition to its information pages, SBR also offers free dispute mediation for players that find themselves locked into a dispute against an online sportsbook company.
SBR offers a Sportsbook & Industry forum for sportsbook payout, bonus, and general discussion.

France vs England
The Stade de France hosts a much-anticipated match between last year's winners, England and the French runners-up at 3pm. Eurostar will be running at capacity as crowds of rugby enthusiasts flock to the French capital for the crowning match of the tournament.
The imposing Stade de France has an impressive seating capacity of 80,000 and plays host to many different sporting events. The flying saucer-like structure was inAugusturated in 1988 with a France-Spain soccer match. As the home of the French football team, it was also the site of France's historic 3-0 victory over Brazil in the 1998 World Cup Final.
Located in the suburb of Saint-Denis, it is easily accessible from the Gare du Nord, using the RER B. And then the whole of Paris is at your feet…

FAIRHAVEN (CBS) – Police in Fairhaven are investigating the murder of a 69-year-old retired schoolteacher whose body was found Tuesday morning.

BAE Systems Ordnance Systems is making a bid to operate the government-owned Radford Army Ammunition Plant in Montgomery and Pulaski counties.
BAE spokesman Neil Franz told "The Roanoke Times" that the company believes its proposal provides innovative ideas, cost-effective solutions and demonstrated past performance.
Based in England, BAE operates Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Kingsport, Tennessee.
Minneapolis-based Alliant Techsystems has operated the nearly 7,000-acre Virginia facility since 1995. Andrew Crickenberger with Alliant Techsystems says the company is confident it will be the winning bidder for the new ten-year contract.

As the mindset of liberalism has taken it's grip on our society
@Tot: you ain't got nuttin to comment. See your magnificently voluminous 'comments' above.
What in the hell does that mean?
Listen you old Goat, Sgt. Waters probably didn't tell you this one but I will: It is much better to be thought to be stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
@Tot: listen...I'm down to my last two oxycontins which I have to take in order to read your ka-ka. When I run out of those I may commit suicide. And it will be YOUR fault.
Please shut up.
Yes. I too see the safety and Highway issues, but I cannot understand the Midway Mayors constant need to flex her authority and send police officers to interact with our citizen's on minor issues. Midway is not a police state, or at least it wasn't till she was elected. Can you imagine this little girls reaction when a police officer in a police car approaches her? Or any of our citizens for that matter. Our business owners are not criminals. It would have been far better handled if the Mayor had simply got out of her car and spoke with the little girl to find her parents and quietly talked with them. That would have been the friendly way to handle the issue or any issues. But that is not her way. She has to demonstrate her authority and exercise her power over our citizen's. I have not forgotten that during her watch Midway became the new Ludowici.
Midway is not a police state yet... Without the mayor using common sense Midway may see more of this.

457 visa changes pass lower house
Summary: Proposed changes to Australia's skilled migration system have passed the lower house of parliament, as the IT industry urges the government to ease off their businesses.
With new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in the top job again, the House of Representatives today passed amendments to immigration law for the skilled foreign worker visa scheme that aim to crack down on industries, such as IT, that have been said to be misusing the scheme.
The legislation will require employers to demonstrate that they went to market in Australia for local workers before hiring overseas workers using 457 visas.
When announcing the changes, former Prime Minister Julia Gillard singled out the IT industry as one of the biggest abusers of the scheme, stating that the IT industry accounted for 5,800 workers brought into Australia in seven months, while in 2011, there were only 4,500 IT undergraduates.
It was reported earlier in the day that Rudd had pulled the legislation, but this afternoon, the lower house passed the legislation 73 votes to 72, with Labor picking up support from Independent MPs Tony Windsor, Bob Katter, Craig Thomson, and Andrew Wilkie and Greens MP Adam Bandt.
The legislation will still need to pass the Senate, and the Senate may ultimately sit on Friday in order to pass all the legislation that the government is seeking to pass prior to the election. Rudd has not indicated whether the September 14 election date has changed since taking over as prime minister this morning.
As he resumed the role of prime minister, the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) CEO Suzanne Campbell said that the IT industry continues to support the 457 visa scheme.
"457 visas solve the immediate skills shortage issue local organisations are facing. The longer-term solution to this issue is systemic changes in ICT education and skills development. This will take time, and the industry must not be stalled in the meantime," she said.
Campbell said that Rudd should shift focus away from targeting the IT industry in Australia.
"The combination of excessive and at times heavy-handed regulation faced by the ICT industry in Australia, the costs associated with this, and the singling out of the ICT sector on visa issues, tax, and pricing must stop for confidence to be restored," Campbell said.
Campbell initially fronted the IT pricing inquiry representing IT giants, including Apple, Adobe, and Microsoft, but repeatedly throughout the hearing said she could not respond on behalf of those companies. The companies were ultimately compelled to appear before the inquiry themselves.
Campbell said today that the government needs to demonstrate its confidence in the IT sector.
"If Australia is to be the leading digital economy it aspires to be, government must demonstrate its confidence in the ICT sector taking that vision forward. This includes a focused commitment to the important role of the NBN, and continued effort in driving take-up and use by business and government."

Sian was stabbed by Swindon minicab driver Chris Halliwell in March 2011. Her body was found in a roadside verge. But many of her belongings have never been found.
Detectives discovered her boots in a pond about eight miles away near Ramsbury in Wiltshire last week.

Police search uncovers Sian's boots and a shotgun
Detectives in Wiltshire have made a significant discovery in the Sian O'Callaghan murder case. They've been searching a remote rural location where they've recovered the boots she was wearing on the night she vanished.
The 22-year-old was murdered in 2011 by minicab driver Christopher Halliwell, and police believe he may have murdered others. Robert Murphy reports.
Shotgun found in Sian O'Callaghan search
Wiltshire Police have revealed that a single barrel shotgun had also been found in a pond being searched as part of a murder investigation.
Earlier two boots were retrieved from a pond at Ramsbury near Marlborough and were found to be the ones worn by Wiltshire murder victim Sian O'Callaghan when she went missing from a Swindon nightclub in 2011.
Minicab driver Christopher Halliwell is serving life for her murder.
Miss O'Callaghan died from a single stab wound to the head. She was not shot. But detectives are investigating whether Halliwell is responsible for other murders of young women.
Police investigating Christopher Halliwell "open-minded" about more bodies
Detectives investigating convicted killer Christopher Halliwell, who murdered Swindon office worker Sian O'Callaghan, are keeping an "open mind" as to whether he has killed more women.
The 50-year-old taxi driver is serving a life sentence after pleading guilty to murdering her in 2011.
The father of three also admitted to killing Becky Godden, who had disappeared from Swindon a decade earlier, but that confession was ruled inadmissible by a judge.
Wiltshire Police have continued to investigate the murder of Miss Godden, who had drifted into drugs and prostitution, and have never given up hope of bringing her killer to justice.
Officers found her remains in a field in Eastleach, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, in March 2011 having been led there by Halliwell.
Last month they revealed they had found a bone at the Cotswold beauty spot, which belonged to Miss Godden.
Now they have recovered the pair of brown New Look boots that 22-year-old Miss O'Callaghan was wearing when she was last seen alive leaving Suju's nightclub in Swindon three years ago.

I'd like to try an all grain batch using the stovetop method illustrated by Deathbrewer http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy...ng-pics-90132/
My stainless steel stock pots are way too small for this. Before investing in new stock pots I have a possible alternative. I have two large Graniteware pots similar to this. Amazon.com: Graniteware 13 Inch x 11.5 Inch Corn Pot: Home & Garden. Graniteware is a a very thin metal pot with an enamel coating (a giant crab pot).
I know my Graniteware can hold 5 gallons of water plus headroom because I made a partial extract IPA in one. Shortly into the boil I realized the DME or extract was sticking to the bottom of the pot. I split the batch in half and boiled in two heavier stainless pots. I haven't tried to use the graniteware since.
I'm wondering if the problem was the thin metal or the DME/Extract sinking to the bottom and burning before going into solution. Would it be possible to use these pots for all grain?
Retired at the Jersey Shore.
my problem with the graniteware pots isn't the thinness of the bottom but trather how wide they are in relation to the height and capacity. i have 5g pot that i have to straddle over 2 burners to bring to a boil, i have a 7.5g TF pot that one burner doesn't have a problem boiling 6.5-7g in,did it mon nite since it was colder than hell out here.

secondary:middling bastard ipa
kegged:simcoe blonde, crystal pale ale, yellow jacket golden ale, lemon shandy blondeDRINKIN DAWG BREWERY LET'S GO RED WINGSjoin michigan mashers here
extraction calculator
grains in pounds(G) X 36(average points per gallon of grains) / batch size in gallons(g) = maximum efficiency(ME)
OG / ME = brewhouse efficiency
TF=turkey fryer
the taller pot definitly seemed to boil easier and quicker

Larry Birkhead Sets a Good Exampleby Mischalova at . Comments
A week after Dannielynn turned one, her father told celebrity gossip sources that he was more focused than ever on being a positive influence in her life.
"Life is too short, this story has taught me," Larry Birkhead said to People magazine at Sunday's TV Guide post-Emmys party in Hollywood. "I have no plans to fight. I'd just like to be positive for my daughter."
Birkhead says Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole Smith's awful mother, "wants to be a grandma, but grandmas bake cookies, not fake lawsuits. I'd like everybody that shows good intentions to be a part of my baby's life. I think that's the only way to do it. If you show me anything less than the best intentions, then hit the road."
Well said, Larry.
Despite DNA proving that Birkhead is the father, Arthur is still trying to wrangle
her daughter's giant fortune Dannielynn away from him.
Meanwhile, Birkhead has actually found an ally in Howard K. Stern, which is sort of akin to Britney Spears coming to the defense of Kevin Federline. As opposed to, you know, trying to have him killed.
"It's a working relationship," Birkhead said of Stern. "People can scratch their heads at it, because I do, too. Chances are, if Anna were alive today, things would be different for us. Howard was a part of her life, so you just have to pick up where you can."
This is what happens when you let a "daddy" take care of a kid. If this were Britney or another woman, Deefax would get involved. This guy is milking his daughter for all its worth. $$$ SICK! Maybe he's proud of her you say? No, remember whose baby this is/was. Anna Nichole. He is doing something he knows Anna would hate him for. Putting her out there like that to the pap etc. SICK.
I think it is great that Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead are mending their fences, it just shows what a good and caring person Larry is, he knows that Anna would have wanted Howard in Dannielynn's life and that Howard loved Anna and he loves Dannielynn, so this is a very good thing for everyone concerned. I also don't see what the fuss is about Larry making money with interviews, selling pictures or whatever.......he has a lot of attorney fees to pay and I think most of us would do the same thing if we were in his shoes. Let him do whatever it takes for the time being so he can spend as much time as possible with that precious little girl that he obviously loves so very much.
larry birkhead is doing exactly like anna said. he is in it for the money. most mothers would not have a reality show with their baby. they would keep the child out of the media. i know anna would have. larry and howard need to both get a job and get out of annas homes.
Why aren't these people in jail? Howard is a killer and Larry Sue is just another Kato Kaelin. Why is Larry in Anna's house? Anna hated him no matter what Larry says! Larry Sue is the biggest liar on the planet next to that guy from Iran!
Another big fan of $tern and Larry The Sell Out?,...None other than Alex Goen of Trimspa.
What a fine buch of little lackies you found for yourself in that dynamic duo.
Like I said though,...what gos around comes around boys,...what gos around comes around.
How about we get a peek at all of those offshore accounts and sham corps that you have worked so long and hard on?,...
Whats the matter guys are'nt you proud of all you have been so busy doing???
Time will tell,...Time will tell,... :)
$tern certainly knows the right wheel to keep greased dosen't he?
$tern and Birkhead are two of a kind without a doubt,...however the not so subtle attempts to smear Virgie are not working and therefore the publics full attention remains focused on what sort of nonsense is going to come from them next.
It's far more accurate to say that $tern found an ally in Larry the sell out than to say that Birkhead found an ally in $tern.
Remember Larry,...Ole Howie promised to ",...take care of you just like he did Anna."
May he fufill that promise to you in every way before justice catchs up to him.
Can't wait to hear what all Byron thinks about your new lot in life,...looks like Anna,...Daniel,...Dannilynn,...and Virgie were not the only ones you sold out huh?
What gos around always comes around though and sooner or later it will work it's way right back around to you and your good buddy $tern as well.
I agree with Fran Ruh but I do understand that you have to make a living. You are a Photographer by trade, you have a beautiful daughter, if people are willing to pay for photos of her I do not have a problem. {Until the Marshall estate is settled "every man/woman and dog will be after you"...lawsuits are costly...sign contracts with your next "well chosen lawyer" WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER "DOPEY"}. I call Arthur, Cosby and "dopey" the "BITCHES OF BIRKWICK"
Look after Dannielynn she is precious.

HOWEVER! (using version 1.5.9)
If I enable the Text filter and char or word limit, the entire page does not render, and the source becomes blanked out. The page no longer loads.
ALSO, the module class suffix does NOT work, and does not append to the styles like .contentpagetitle and whatnot.
I really would like to see the text limiting work. Or else I would have to reformat a ton of articles that I've already input.
Great work though! It's the simple additions to websites and great modules like this that make Joomla! way more robust and easier.
css suffix issue fixed in 1.5.10.
