I just texted you, you nut. How about noon at Galileo III? Is that too early for you guys? 600 14th St. so should be somewhat close to your hotel...
And good morning to the non-dining readers as well! Let's get started!

Funny you should ask. We have a new ombudsman as of this morning, and he starts March 1. His name is Patrick B. Pexton.
If a K-Stater can say something like that to a former Baby Jay mascot, there is hope for the world. I agree about tonight's game -- the loser may be out. Sure makes it interesting, and I promise not to upset either you or AHG by actually making a pick.
I think you should fill the halls a la the Wisconsin legislature! No, I'm kidding. But don't be afraid of Arts & Living -- we can take 'em.
Agreed; we discussed this yesterday and Dan had it right today. Those Patriots just need to keep winning. Do GMU fans ever call them the Pats? Or is that reserved for New England? Not sure I've ever seen that in print.
My skin is thicker than a year ago, but not thick enough. So much rage in the world. So sad...
You can email my boss at firstname.lastname@example.com, but remember, he's, like, my biggest fan so don't be too hard on him. He's trying to find the best way to use me, is all.
I don't have enough product placement but I do give relationship advice when asked. :)
Just please don't hurt yourself. And I appreciate the passion.
I agree re the chats of all kinds. They are not expensive to produce and I think I've proven they can be done without even a producer to help me. So it's not a cost question. Kind of a bummer.
That's EXACTLY what it's like! Great reference!
Maybe we should, Friday, for instance. Hmmm. Anyone else? Have to be somewhere downtown, which I know eliminates the suburbanites and Kansans and all...
It has nothing to do with cost. I can't think of what the cost actually is. I do them in addition to my other job, I can do them from just about anywhere, so it's not a logistics or cost issue.
I will try to chat extra long on Thursday so it will equal five chats.
Still not sure Thursday's the best day. Need to think about that and decide real quick.
I think you'll see one of those things happen, and I think the Dolphins are a little closer. I hope you see many good things in the remaining years!
Well, when I hear that, I think of one guy: Devin Thomas. He wanted to be an entertainer and an icon and they shoved him right out the door. So how hypocritical would it be to bring in another guy with the same goal? Hope you all saw J-Reid's column today on the upcoming draft.
Tweeting more often is a possibility. I do tend to tweet in bursts, which is very bad of me, but I always worry about TMI with tweeting. I also need to get on Facebook; isn't there a way we can talk to each other on Facebook? Yes, I know, it's dreadful I don't know that, but I've been gunshy about Facebook, literally, having been stalked before. But it's time.
Since I just asked the world's stupidest Facebook question, I won't mock Calhoun. I don't know all the details but I do know that there is a real focus on the "little stuff" and a real tolerance of the "big stuff" that I don't like. KU got penalized once for a plane ticket for a kid to attend his grandmother's funeral. This year at least the NCAA got it right and let the whole team come to Thomas' mom's funeral. Some progress.
Wow, PW is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice! I am so touched! But I can't let you use PH for good or evil.
The more I think about it, the more I think Facebook is possibly the answer.
I do enjoy doing them. Maybe the reason the audience stayed static is because we don't flame, or name call, and we try to keep things civil. If the chat WASN'T that, I'd have pulled the plug myself. I just don't want to contribute to that. We'll go weekly and I'll try to figure out another way of us to communicate between times. Lord knows there have to be ways I don't know about. :)
I think they had good intentions but bad results. They want to have all the players available for FanFest, but it is a problem to have it on a weekday before the opener. I'm not sure what the answer is but be sure to register your complaints over in Nats land. No reason this can't be improved upon.
AHG, I just can't pick, but if the hoops team is finally getting some props, you're right, that's incredible. I think even Post readers would be surprised by the level of Huskers football coverage in Nebraska. But it outweighs Redskins coverage here, by a lot.
Those are certainly ... ideas. :)
You know, I should have a beverage sponsor. Guinness should be my sponsor! I could get one of those home keg systems. Oh my heck.
An ombudsman is someone who works outside the editorial processes of the paper and handles reader complaints. They columnize on how the Post handles certain issues and they are supposed to be as objective as possible. Some newspapers have one, some don't.
First I've heard of it; thanks for letting me know.
They need some muscle, don't they? It'll depend what's available in the draft at their spot, I suppose, but yes, that should probably be next on their wish list. I do think it'll have to wait till the draft, though.
NSN, you have a name now. And just by reading the transcript you did your part. Thanks.
No, I don't think so, but he might really think he is. Shudder. He was able to come to Auburn and immediately dominate; I don't think that's going to happen in the NFL.
Ha! I saw your first message. I wasn't worried. :)
Nice drive, and no traffic! :)
You can always reach me at email@example.com. I try to respond to as many emails as possible.
Thanks for the kind words about the Auburn column, and everything else. Much appreciated.
I didn't get TGofT on audio but it's on my list. I'm slowly working my way through the things I didn't get for Christmas that I really want. First was Mark Twain's biography, then the Rebecca Skloot book about Henrietta Lacks. And let me tell you, that book is riveting. I'm not finished but highly recommend it.
So far GMGM is being pretty silent, and there is no availability today. I'm going out there tomorrow so we'll see. It's a tricky thing, deciding whether to potentially disrupt team chemistry with so little season remaining.
Now you can start that novel you've been dreaming of!
No, economics really isn't a part of it. These chats are cheap. Believe me.
Sigh. This is the problem with me not knowing anything about Facebook. Maybe a blog? I don't know.
There was a Nordic combined question on Jeopardy last night? Now I have to sit through the teen tournament just to see that! Thanks for taking the time to write. I am glad you found a comfortable community here. That's what the internet is supposed to provide on its good days.
I love the Big Broadcast, when I catch it. I grew up listening to Fibber McGee and Mollie and The Shadow on our "local" radio on Sunday nights. Loved it. (I should add these were repeats; I'm not THAT old.)
HP, I hear you.
They want to drive more traffic and want to try to use me in a different role to see if we can do that. I hope we can. Maybe if we can't, the chat will come back!
This is becoming more marked this season, but has been a problem for awhile. And now that players are engaged in a sort of "Sim City" team building of their own, it's going to get worse. NBA teams in small markets can't survive without a change in the economics. Which is why a lockout next season seems inevitable.
I used to cover the NBA and loved it but I follow pretty half-heartedly until the playoffs. And my favorite team is on TV pretty much every week. I would shorten the regular season in both the NHL and NBA, even if it means expanding the playoffs, because they are too long a slog for everyone, including the fans.
No. I'm puzzled by him. Very puzzled right now. I will write about this at some point, but I am a person who likes to think about things, not just load the shotgun and start spraying.
I wish someone WOULD talk to me at TG, although I don't have the Big G with Mexican food. But if you see someone with her nose in a book, it's probably me. Come on by!
Oh, and a plug for the Maplewood Grill in Vienna. Tried it last week and it was very nice. I'll be heading back there.
I'll be honest; I don't get it either. I've argued for chats for more of our sports writers, and that's why I've tried to have guests. I think they are SO helpful, they don't cost anything because we aren't paid for them, but everyone is willing to do them anyway; it's not a question of that. Sad, I think. At a time when everyone else in the world is living in everyone else's pocket, we are getting further from our readers. I really get a sense of what people are thinking about and talking about from this chat. It helps me as a person and a writer. I really believe that.
Just please don't get me fired. The kitties must eat!
Love Luzianne. The Zimm love... I don't know. Nats Journal is not the right place for that, somehow, and Kilgore would just be embarrassed by it. You may have to save it all up for one weekly outburst.
I bought three last fall for the family and they were on the last row of the arena and expensive as hell. But if they can get the money for them, they will, god knows.
Okay, well, is Friday too soon, planning wise?
And I sit there every afternoon and click on my chat transcript, too! And still it's not helping. :)
Actually, that's not an unfair question.
I think we should wait on the pool until the end of March, just to see him against pitching. And thanks for everything you said.
This is a good question. I am not sure. If my kid really wanted to play football I'd have a hard time saying no. You can't keep them in bubble wrap. They're going to drive a car and they're going to do dumb things. But I'm not nearly as sure as I would have been 10 years ago.
And I sure do appreciate it. I like that we hear from people from all over the country.
Thanks; again, my Facebook ignorance betrays me. Okay, I'm armed with some information, let me think about this. I'm on Twitter as TraceeHamilton (I think that's right) and I'm not a twitter fiend or anything but I'll start tweeting more, that's for sure. So please sign up. Also a good way to communicate with you all if I start something like a blog.
He said so many great things. "Did we give up when the German bombed Pearl Harbor?"
I know parents who said "I'll never give my children toy guns." Their kids ran around shooting sticks and using their fingers. The intentions were good but they're kids and they're going to do stuff. One thing sports does is keep kids from getting into all kinds of other trouble. Between my athletic commitments, speech commitments, musical commitments, acting commitments, and schoolwork, I never had TIME to get in serious trouble in high school. Not that I didn't have my moments. But most of the time, I was too busy.
I think he'd tear down all the trees surround his compound, like Saruman, and build an army to defend him. :) Maybe I've seen LofT too many times.
Yup, those are the times when chats can really be helpful and informative.
I've gotta get XM. I've gotta get a new car. Sigh.
Sorry, I meant to answer this earlier. The daily chat is being canceled; it'll be weekly now. More in yesterday's chat transcript if you have a chance to look at it...
Well, hurry along and we'll squeeze you in.
I'd better sign off. Tomorrow I'll need to stop on time because I need to go to Kettler. But I'm willing to go sit at some bar Friday for farewell drinks if anyone wants to stop by. Send your bar suggestions and should this be a happy hour thing or a noon hour thing, and we'll figure something out. Let's talk tomorrow!

Snap Judgment
Storytelling . . . With a beat.
The city of Detroit released its plan of adjustment, which proposes cuts to pensions and restructuring of city services. The plan is designed to help the city emerge from bankruptcy. WDET's Sandra Svoboda spoke with Eric Lupher, Director of Local Affairs for Citizens Research Council of Michigan.
Lupher says the plan of adjustment is dense and can be difficult to pick apart. He says this document is a document written by lawyers for lawyers.

HARRISONBURG, Va. - Friday is National Wear Red day to raise awareness for heart disease.
Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States, and one in three women dies from heart disease.
There are many things women can do to better understand their health. For instance, they can research their family history and also adjust their lifestyles.
Nurse Julia Alderfer Stauffer with the Womens Center in Harrisonburg also says to make sure you talk with your doctor more than once, if needed.
"Sometimes women's anxiety can be written off as it's just anxiety and I think we here at the women's center really want to promote listening to our intuition," Stauffer said.
Stauffer said what may seem like anxiety could instead be heart disease.
If you are interested in learning more about your heart health, there are a number of heart events for women in February through Rockingham Memorial Hospital.

Eminem Chrysler 200 Super Bowl Commercial: Imported From Detroitby Free Britney at . Comments
Hyped as Super Bowl commercials may be, most are gimmicky and quite forgettable. Chrysler's effort featuring the Motor City's own Eminem was anything but.
Two minutes of gritty footage set to the rapper's "Lose Yourself" served as both an homage to Detroit's past and a look to the future in introducing the Chrysler 200.
Moving doesn't usually describe ads during football, but it sure applies here as the iconic American brand - and city - defiantly picks itself up off the mat.
With an assist from Eminem and a gospel choir, this is a bad ass commercial ...
I agree will Bill. Incredible commercial. It was not just about the product, it was about pride, humanity, love of ones own city and the people you live with. It was moving, inspiring and I stopped in my tracks once I recognized what was happening.
Kudos to Eminem for taking such a courageous and
remarkable statement about a once great city trying to reinvent itself.
Whilst this ad did not inspire me to even step foot on a Fiat-Chrysler dealership, I loved the ad itself. Some of the hottest fires forged Detroit and those hot fires stretched across the state. The Sitdown Strikes broke the chains that held people down. Those peopel created a thriving middle class and a thriving US. Pollution almost killed our lakes in the 70's and 80's and we fought to clean our air, land, and water. And still through the super highs and the near-death blows, Detroit and Michigan are still fighting to be great again. I raise my glass to Fiat-Chrysler. We have one more shot, we cannot miss this chance.
Great looking car but I would be completely embarrassed to drive a vehicle endorsed or promoted by Eminem
@amy Cursing? Do you mean hell? Haha. Repressed. Why don't you and your sister wives put some bump-its in your inbred kids' hair, damn. And randyjacksonsbutt(accurate name) you're probably from Ohio, try not to light any rivers on fire and respect your elders, kapeesh?
I am not an Eminem fan, but that song has always done something for me. It has a level of emotion not usually found in today's music, much less in rap. Putting that with the message and the video was outstanding, whether you like American cars or not. Well done.
@randyjacksonsbutt May I kick your ass?
Personally, I don't see how this commercial is very good. 1. Chrysler is not a car you want to get unless you are 50 and over.
2. Detroit is still Detroit. The sun isn't going to shine any brighter on that God forsaken city than it already has.
3. I've never really taken Eminem seriously (come on, he's a white rapper that constantly acts angry and misunderstood yet he has made more money than any artist this century) but didn't I just see him in a commercial endorsing iced tea? Iced Tea people. Iced Tea.
I wouldn't buy a Chrysler or GM if I had to they took bailout money and I will never forgive or forget. Ford is now my company.
Dave....You're a moron.
Best commercial ever. My favorite of the night.

Need ideas for a Hawaiian side dish
- Vexorg May 25, 2007 02:20 PM
There is a Hawaiian-themed potluck on Sunday for which I am signed up to bring a side dish, but I seem to be drawing a blank on this one. I've done a bit of searching on the Internet, but all I seem to get are either things that require ingredients I can't really get here or things that just don't sound too appealing. What would be good to make for a Hawaiian side dish?
Don't know if you would call this a "side dish" or maybe an appetizer: Spam on a stick! The Hawaiians love their Spam. I cut it into cubes and thread it on wood skewers along with pineapple chunks, red onion, and green peppers. Slather it with teriyaki sauce and grill over charcoal. Can be made ahead of time and served warm or cold.
Another idea--more of a side dish--might be bacon fried rice. Google for recipes.
Is the side dish supposed to be veggie based, a salad, or just something other than "main dish"?
My mom makes a yummy cold noodle salad with the somen noodles (think angel hair spaghetti), sliced cucumbers, and a dressing made with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar (I start with equal parts of the liquids, add sugar to taste and then adjust until I'm happy).
Fruit salad with pineapple would be nice. Or you could make a Waldorf salad but mix coconut milk into the whipped cream.
It could just be because my memories of visiting relatives in Hawaii involved going to this little bakery with the best creampuffs -filled with custard, not whipped cream - but you could bring mini creampuffs.
What's more Hawaiian than Spam? There have to be a million Spam recipes out there! You can make Spam musubi by taking a slice of Spam (cut it in half to make mini musubi) and placing it over a block of rice and then wrapping nori over it. Oh, pan fry the Spam first.
re: leanneabe
I don't think anyone is going to be too picky about what I bring. I actually thought about Spam musubi as a possibility, and I do happen to have some Spam around the house I've never figured out what to do with, so I might give that a try.. I'm not sure how many people out there associate Spam with the islands though...
re: septocaine_queen
On a sort of salad-related note, I've made this potato-crab salad before and everyone really liked it. The description claims it's a standard on lunch plates in Hawaii, but the comments disagree a bit. Either way, it was definitely a hit when I served it.
How "traditional" are you supposed to be? Is it "true" hawaiian food (ie poi, squid luau), more post contact (lomi salmon, pickled onions) or contemporary (teri steak, mac salad). Sweet potatoes are not widely known to be hawaiian, but were a staple - almost as much as poi, for most polynesians, especially the purple variety (purple once you cook them). They are more commonly known as Okinawan sweet potato now.
http://alohaworld.com/ono/index.php - ho brah... plenny kine kau kau hea
http://www.alohafriendsluau.com/recip... - all da regular kine luau stuffs
http://www.hisurf.com/Luau/Luau2.html - da kine luau stuffs
Can get long rice whea you stay or wot? Oh... you prolly know 'em as "Rice Noodle" If can, den chicken long rice stay real popular, dat or da sweet potato like i wen say in da oddah posting. but get plenny kine stuffs in dose links.
re: KaimukiMan
lomi lomi salmon, chicken long rice, ahi poke iz ono! i say "all pau!" =) okay so i wasn't born there but i've lived and returned there enough to get by (hahaha well, not enough.. i could stay forever hahah)...
another take on the spam musubi (used to eat spam, but now i don't), would be portuguese sausage musubis... i actually like mine with furikake in the middle with the sausage...
re: KaimukiMan
*checks Altavista for a Pidgin -> English translator*
Long Rice is something that is readily available around here, and I've got most of the ingredients for that on hand, so that might be worth a try. Tanks eh?
re: Vexorg
shoots brah, geev 'em!
As others have noted, there really are a variety of things you could make that qualify as "Hawaiian," as there are a lot of influences in the Islands -- Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese, in addition to foods that are native.
Do you know what the host is making as a main dish?
I have a couple of Hawaiian cookbooks [The Foods of Paradise by Rachel Laudan and 50th Anniversary Best of our Favorite Recipes 1946-1996 from the Maui Association For Family and Community Education], and if I were you, I'd probably go with a side dish that was more Asian in nature. Spam musubi or macaroni salad would be fun, but might not be the best compliment to the main dishes served by the hosts.
Both of the books that I have contain recipes for greens with sesame-soy dressing. Here's one recipe:
1 lb greens (watercress, spinach, etc.)
1 T. sesame seeds, lightly toasted to bring out aroma
1 T. sugar
2 T. soy sauce
1 T. mirin.
Blanch greens very briefly in salted, boiling water. Drain immediately. When cool, squeez out excess water. Mix sesame seeds, sugar, soy and mirin in a bowl. Adjust quantities to taste. Add to greens and toss. Serve at room temperature. Serves 4.
Other side-dish recipes common to both books are tempura sweet potatoes, several dishes with lotus root, burdock and daikon, and as noted by another poster, dishes make with Okinawan sweet potatoes.
A good fruit salad featuring Hawaiian fruits (pineapple, banana, papaya, guava, passionfruit, etc.) would be really nice.
And of course, there is always steamed rice -- but hopefully the hosts are making this.
Sure you can't do a dessert instead? You could make shave ice or malasadas.

I'm using postgresl 7.4.
Is there any way to create a sql statement that would convert the numeric value in to english words? For example I want to create a report for printing checks. If I have a field with numeric values stored in it such as $123.23, I'd like to create another field in the query that would say "one hundred, twenty three dollars and twenty-three cents. Is this possible?

The Cheap Bastard Guide to Dallas

You know the sad and familiar tale: Brilliant local musician trudges on with great work, other local musicians nod knowingly and with respect at the mention of his name, yet said talent hasn't yet attracted the frothing fan base he deserves. No doubt Reed Easterwood knows the words to that story by heart. Yet his songs seem to occupy a more precious place, a place of the past (and ideal future) that recognizes the craftiness and craftsmanship of a song turned out by a guy whose technical prowess never gets in the way of the music. He's got the hooks and the chops and the irony, only he prefers to entertain his own ears and those of people who understand such musical intelligence. Easterwood is the kind of songwriter who long ago recognized the treachery of both Dallas fickleness and Big Industry rottenness, and chose to lope off into his own sunset.
After plugging away at both solo and collaborative music projects for the better part of the decade, Easterwood has an output prolific enough to raise the question "You mean he's putting out another record?" And in listening to his latest outing, Secret Power (of You), you'll see that Easterwood's disassociation from trend or expectations seems more potently realized than ever. The full-length self-release (half solo project, half with Easterwood's band, Junky Southern) ups the ante on his moody, dreamy pop while leaving in place the foundations of twang and blues found on last year's Absolute Blue. In other words, Secret Power is ambitious, immensely listenable, and in constant flirtation with unexpected bliss. Just when you think a song might shatter to the ground in a mess of confused intentions, he hoists it up to the most innovative, victorious resolution. Brilliant.
Wearing his lifelong Stones admiration like a disarming badge of honor, the album's opener "Lay Me Down" and "Act Your Age" lay bare the scruffy, punchy melancholy of classic-definition rock. But other than that, Secret Power's twelve selections are virtually uncategorizable, unless that happens to be one of the categories. His voice is wispy enough to waft through any kind of tune yet raspy and knowing enough to lend heft to his dreamer-cynic wordplay. Easterwood always lets the process serve the individual song -- heavy retro reverb here, adventurous lo-fi there, haunting folk gut-wrench and big-rawk rebellion in between. "Prodigal son(g)" takes an old gospel sound with traditional harmonies into a new arena of secular bastardization, while the compressed, riff-laden "ellausegeS (Deus ex Machina)" goes where Johnny Marr might if he liked psychedelic back-masking and Sentridoh. "For Bill Hicks," meanwhile, is a unswerving dirge-homage to a lost talent. All of the songs spin in their disparate spheres, but Easterwood's aesthetic undercurrent ties them together. Let's just hope he reaches a larger and much deserved audience this time out.

I don't think they'd be much interested in hops of any sort on the vine, to be honest. My dogs hate basically anything green.
Found one scenario for hops killing a dog.
Hops problem is related to labs and greyhounds. If you Google it, you will find people using hops as a natural pesticide. The problem is when hops are mixed with wort and then the dogs eat it. The sweet smell of the wort is what the dogs like.
I am on my second year for hops. My dogs only touch the bines as a chew toy. This was after harvest.
What is really cool about this thread are the tips giving to take the hobby further. It was so much more than making a $10.00 beer (which is possible) but it's about saving $10 to $20 off every beer you make.
I agree, really great money saving tips!
I didn't reach my goal yet, but I did make a 3 gallon batch for $9.00 in supplies!
Has anyone suggested a Berliner Weisse? You could get 5lbs of pale grain for less than 10 bucks and you're done! Use a couple spoons of the raw grain, and a 1 pint sugar water starter of 1.030 gravity to grow some Lacto and Brett, and pitch that. No purchase of hops or yeast necessary. You dont really need to boil long either so you save on energy costs.
Growing hops is seriously simple if you have some available space with full sun. This was only my 2nd year and from 4 rhizomes I got ~6 pounds. And that was growing in a fence, not up a trellis. It greatly saves cost. Toss in a few ounces of rye and a great session IPA with some pizazz is easily doable on the cheap.
The thing I get from this thread is there are many ways to make good beer. Some cheaper than others but it all ends up as beer.
I also learned that spending a bunch of money doesn't mean you'll make great beer. And vice versa, spending only a little doesn't mean you can't make great beer.
Most home brew competitions are based on style and/or gravity categories. There are so many entries for Big Beers. It would be interesting to see a category for best beer under a specific total dollar amount, ingredients only, including adjuncts. Say $15 or $20 max so as not to narrow the field too much. It would be difficult to calculate and verify specific costs for different fuels and water (bottled, distilled, filtered etc).

Myself I think it was all crap from the jets staff to justify not,using him.
I also suspect that they did not try all that hard after the owner forced him on them.
Any coach in JAX would've a fool not to buy in as Tebow is loved there more than he is. Those fans are just as rabid as any and maybe even moreso than most. When it comes to Tebow He would start a fire in that program.
Now if he does indeed fail after getting decent coaching fans would understand any changes made.
We all know he had the same rap here lousy practice player, but thekidmwas a gamer. He showed up on Sundays and his teammates bought into it also.
I hope he just gets a fair shake about it. Then the chips can fall the way they should and he is either a damned good QB or a great minister.
Some how with the work ethic I've seen I suspect the former. .
It's one thing to know what to do in a classroom environment,but once the bullets start flying it's a different animal. There have been plenty of QBs drafted that looked good in the classroom/interview only to fall flat on their face once the whistle blows. It's no secret that tebow struggles reading defenses.

The 20th Century Fox Mambo Lyrics - Smash Cast
At Paramount it's "Ooh la la."
The Warner Brothers' Cha cha cha.
And L.B. Mayer loves his schmaltz,
So MGM made the great waltz.
But the 20th Century Foxtrot
It's precious, but precious!
It's not hot
To make the big boys hire me—
Please make that rhythm fiery.
Come on, boy and girls,
Make me over!
In this factory
Where dreams can come true,
Are you ready
To make someone new?
You're the team
That must teach me to do
The 20th Century Fox Mambo.
Done the homework,
And I'll pass the test.
I'll do whatever
My teacher suggests—
I can do it clothed
Or undressed,
The 20th Century Fox Mambo.
Make it up,
Shake it up,
Let the fantasies begin!
Here's the dope:
To get cast,
Change the past—
Make the light
Just right for sin.
Let's go!
Take a gamble
'Cause it's safe to bet.
Mr. Zanick ain't seen nothing yet.
When we're finished
He'll never forget
This 20th Century Fox.
For fame play her game,
Change your name
To the 20th Century Fox
Make it up,
Shake it up.
Make me feel
Like the main attraction.
Change the clothes,
Fix the nose,
And then 5, 6, 7, 8,
Now I'm blonde,
But I ain't so dumb.
Hollywood will be
Under my thumb.
I'll change partners
Until I become
Your 20th Centurty Fox

- Studio: Factory 25
- Release Date: Mar 28, 2014
- Summary: Go Down Death is a wry, sinister realization of a strange new universe, a cross-episodic melange of macabre folktales supposedly penned by the fictitious writer Jonathan Mallory Sinus. An abandoned warehouse in Brooklyn stands in for a decrepit village haunted by ghosts, superstition, and disease, while threatening to buckle under rumblings of the apocalypse. Soldiers are lost and found in endless woods; a child gravedigger is menaced by a shape-shifting physician, a syphilitic john bares all to a young prostitute, and a disfigured outcast yearns for the affections of a tone-deaf cabaret singer.… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 5
Mixed: 0 out of 5
Negative: 1 out of 5
This is a unique, strange, unforgettable film, a half-remembered dream that will trouble and beguile the subconscious long after you've moved on.
Schimberg, in this debut, demonstrates rare assuredness in shooting and staging scenes, coaxing unexpected but true-feeling flourishes from his cast of mostly amateurs blessed with extraordinary faces.
Rather than distressed retro photography, or Guy Maddin mash-up fantasias, the movie's often deadpan episodes feel like something out of one-act theater
The end result is a bit like a beautiful diorama, in which the people share a common purpose with the furniture: to fill space and look nice.
This film neither really embraces the mechanics of primitive cinema nor creates a coherent syntax of its own.

The heart of SAM is a highly "scaffolded" process that guides teams to identify a learning gap for struggling students, analyze how instructional systems produce it, and act in iterative evidence-based cycles to remove the identified constraint.
This process—particularly the requirement that teams diagnose and track improvement in a targeted skill gap for specific students—develops the practices and habits necessary for continuous improvement. After teams have internalized these skills and habits along with SAM's inquiry process, they lead other colleagues to learn them.
The model can be rolled out as a certification-bearing leadership development program for individuals or teams, or as a more streamlined school improvement process not associated with university credit.
Here's how the SAM program in New York City demonstrated its success in improving student outcomes at the school level: Schools with 3+ years of involvement and commitment to the model bring significantly more struggling students on track to graduation than schools without the SAM intervention.
It brings significant and lasting shifts in school culture, developing shared accountability, evidence-based practice and distributed leadership across these schools.

Need app ideas for a poker party
- theferlyone Apr 6, 2009 12:46 PM
We're hosting our first poker tournament at our new place on Saturday, and I seem to have left all of my culinary creativity in our old apartment. We're doing a cheese plate, and assorted chips, crackers, and pretzels, but I need an idea for either a dip or a bite-sized snack that won't be too greasy or sticky, or otherwise get all over the cards. I'll have about an hour to prep and cook. Please, no spinach or large chunks of onion. Thanks!
"Old Reliable": Bonnies Buffalo Chicken Dip...guys love it. If too messy, chicken and cheese quesadillas using already cooked chicken to cut down prep time.
Fondue.. you can prep the items the night before (par boiled potatos, carrots, green beans, cook the steak) then the day of cut the bread, apples and make the cheese fondue.
For dessert do Toblarone (sp?) bars and a little cream in a double boiler. Cut up pound cake, strawberries, marshmellows, cookies, other fruit.
It is one of our poker game favorites.
Sorry, I forgot to specify finger food. We play on a custom-made, casino-quality table, so anything potentially messy is out. I'm really just looking for snacks, not anything even close to a meal. Thanks for the suggestions so far...
- Sushi hand rolls or spring rolls (these can be made with non-traditional fillings)
- Mini pita's pre-filled with various veggies or meats (or you would do a platter and have your guests build their own)
- Flatbread rolled sandwiches (umm - roasted pepper, goat cheese, etc)
- Small sandwiches
A small PS - chips, nuts, and crackers tend to be a little greasy (I've held those cards!)
Are you allowing food and drinks at the table, or are you setting up a buffet area separate so guests can go have a bite and a drink, wipe their hands, come back to play? If at the table, how do you handle that -- with place mats or small trays, coasters?
One-bite grapes and strawberries on the cheese plate. Maybe stuffed grape leaves. I have a recipe for hot Reuben dip, and while it's fairly thick, it is a dip/spread and might not fit into your parameters. Mini quiches are pretty much a one-bite thing. Val's idea about the pinwheels is also doable -- especially with a toothpick through a one-bite slice. Tiny Caprese on a toothpick (pearl mozzarella/cherry tomato/baby basil leaf).
Small sandwiches or panini. Poker involves holding cards, and your hands need to be clean and dry. I would do small rolls with roast beef, blue cheese, a ham/swiss tomato panini with honey mustard, and turkey/bacon/tomato panini if you have an unadventurous crowd. If they like other meats, cheeses and veggies, go for it because you can have fun doing much fancier sandwiches. You can put some really interesting things together with brie, grilled veggies, chicken, smoked salmon,cream cheese.
I know it sounds simple -- but the last time I put out a tray of sandwiches they disappeared. Funny how just making them small makes them special.
How about tiny tacos! They are quick, easy, not messy - and VERY delicious!
re: Timeless Gourmet
cute as can be!!! what a great idea!

This morning, I got up, made my coffee, and sat down at the computer to see what had happened while I was asleep. On Twitter, I saw a message from Christopher Wilson:
Personal Learning Network
#ELTchat: the loss of eltchat.com — Plan B
This post was originally published on Marsia Constantinides — TEFL Matters on August 10, 2012. I support the ELTchat project, and am very proud of my brief stint as a moderator for the group, so I am sharing the post here. It's sad when something like this happens.
For the last – well, almost two years now, since September 15 2010, #ELTchat has kept us on our toes and forged hundreds of professional and personal relationships amongst its followers who turn up on Twitter every Wednesday to talk about topics they have suggested and voted on – a community of peers which was created by a small group of colleagues – which grew and grew some more and became something that counts as an important part of our continuous professional development.
Like many great ideas, it didn't hit just one person but several.
And that is how #ELTchat was created.
The website to keep up the communication of its members, a base and repository of our ideas was one of the first things we all thought of creating – the wiki came later.
Andy Chaplin was keen to join the moderation team and help with podcasts and technical stuff; he was quick to buy eltchat.com and announced the good news to us after the fact.
A few months later, right after TESOL France 2011, he suddenly disappeared – some say for reasons of health.
We never found out for sure.
We never received a single word of response to our emails.
eltchat.com was and still is registered in his name.
And yesterday we lost it
On August 8 the domain expired and we have no way of taking over unless it goes up for sale again; it was very sad that Andy Chaplin did not find it appropriate to renew.
The news is really upsetting.
The work we have put in on this website cannot be told in a few simple words – but it has been a labour of love and we have got so much out of it that we have never regretted one single moment
We are pretty upset at the behaviour of this individual – disappointment is one big understatement.
But we trust that our community of #ELTchatters, our PLN for short, will again gather round the new domain which we have purchased – eltchat.org
It will take us a few days to put the website back on its feet
And all will be as it was before – all the posts in place all your thoughts and comments, all the polls and great summaries which got us on the shortlist of the ELTon Awards nominations
We will be back with a vengeance
We are not just a website – we did not get on the ELTon awards shortlist as just another website!!!
We are a great community of teachers and we have a Plan B!
See you all in September!!!
Marisa Constantinides – Shaun Wilden
Barbara Hoskins Sakamoto
P.S. We would greatly appreciate it if any of you belonging to this great community of teachers, teacher educators, bloggers, #ELTchat followers, reposted this on your blog
If you decide to do this, please add your name to the post under ours.
What is a PLN, anyway?
A good friend (and a great teacher) e-mailed me after my last post. "Great links," she said. "But what's a PLN?"
A good reminder about why I try to avoid acronyms and jargon in my writing.
PLN is an acronym for Personal Learning Network. The acronym is relatively new, but the idea is not. Teachers have always had learning networks—people we learn from and share with. Teachers are information junkies. We're also social. Put the two together and you have a personal learning network. (more…)
Come join the Electronic Village Online (by Carla Arena)
I'm here to tell you about how a simple acronym – EVO – changed my life and was a true turning point in my professional development. When I joined the Electronic Village Online for the first time to take the online session Becoming a Webhead (BaW), I had the feeling it was special in the sense of learning something new, understanding more about this online world, and connecting to like-minded educators for a period of time. Never could I imagine that the Electronic Village Online would be way more than my initial expectation. The Electronic Village Online was a new beginning of renovated passion for my profession as an educator, of lifelong learning and the joy of being always connected. It was not about a definite time, it was about constant feeding and improvement in who I was as an educator and person. (more…)
Surrounded by Amazing Teachers
One of the greatest advantages of belonging to online networks is that you have daily access to people who are talented, smart, creative, and (most importantly) generous about sharing those abilities. Events like the Edublog Awards are lovely affirmation of my belief that we really are better when we work together. (more…)
May and June posts you may have missed
Toward the end of May, I published a post highlighting guest posts readers might have missed in March, April, and May. I received a number of messages thanking me for the summaries, so I'm going to write another. Since the end of May there have been quite a few posts, mostly by guest authors, so it's easy to imagine that one or two might have slipped through the cracks!
Teacher Development 2.0 (by Steven Herder)
I've always believed in the power of people to be able to come together to create something much bigger than any one of them individually. Here is a story about a bunch of teachers (myself and Barbara included) who are coming together to create something new called The International Teacher Development Institute (iTDi). (more…)
Three Great Interview Series
I'm always impressed with the ways teachers exploit the power of social media to share and collaborate. These three series of interviews are great examples of very different but equally wonderful ways of sharing. (more…)
Guest posts you may have missed
It has been a rough couple of months. With teaching, writing, and travel, and a few natural and man-made disasters, I've done a poor job keeping up this blog, a worse job of reading other people's blogs, and an embarrassingly dreadful job of commenting on blogs (to let people know that I actually did read their posts). I'm home this month and enjoying getting caught up a bit. My Villagers page of guest authors is finally up to date! (more…)
Very cool! A chance to discover new blogs
It's time once again for Lexiophile's annual Top 100 Language Lovers competition. This year, they've changed things around a bit, so they're ranking language-related Facebook pages and Twitter accounts, as well as language learning and professional blogs. (more…)

Student and teacher assignments: A delicate balance
Assigning students to a teacher is a task that is taken very seriously at DCS, with a goal of to creating balanced classrooms by finding the best possible fit for each student and teacher. Best practices/models for teacher-student classroom assignments and optimal classroom productivity methods have been shared among educators for years. Coupling those practices/models with the careful planning used by DCS teachers in assigning students to a teacher is why school officials have always refrained from accepting teacher requests from parents.
"We understand that convenience and familiarity play a role in parents wanting the same teacher to educate their other children," says Superintendent Christine Crowley. "But we have a responsibility to all students to create a well-balanced classroom that takes many factors into consideration." READ MORE

It's no coincidence that the first "business" airplanes took to the skies just as the era of the modern airliner arrived.
