MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin center Marcus Coleman is flattered to be compared to heavy machinery.
Washington State coach Bill Doba called Wisconsin's offensive linemen "road graders" after they flattened his defense earlier in the season.
Coleman says Wisconsin has a tradition of having good offensive lines, and the current line is working to keep up the tradition.
In fact, he says being called "road graders" is probably as big a compliment as they could get.
The line also includes Gabe Carimi, Kraig Urbik, Andy Kemp and Eric Vanden Heuvel.
The group faces its biggest challenge of the season so far when the Badgers play Iowa in a Big Ten opener in Madison tomorrow night.
Iowa's defense hasn't allowed a touchdown in three games.
It features a massive defensive front of ends Kenny Iwebema and Bryan Mattison and tackles Mitch King and Matt Kroul.
Those four have seven of Iowa's nine sacks.
So the stage is set for a clash of the giants at Camp Randall Stadium.

A reward of up to $1,000 was announced Friday for information in the death of Lois Swenson, 76, a northside Minneapolis woman known for her work on peace and justice issues who was found dead in her home June 13, 2012.
Her front door was locked at the time police found her body in her bedroom. An autopsy determined she had been beaten to death.
"Lois was one of the most amazing people that I've ever known," said Jan Swenson of Arena, Wis., her sister-in-law. "To have this happen to her is still unbelievable to us after a year and a half."
Swenson grew up in Arena, Wis., a small farming town near Madison before leaving to attend Luther College. She taught sixth grade in Robbinsdale, occasionally taking long leaves of absence to travel the world. Her travels put her in touch with people who lived in extreme poverty, and influenced her views on life, said Swenson.
She was known for working on peace and justice issues and took in boarders and helped refugees who were resettling. She was also a diligent gardener, the front yard of her house ablaze with flowers each summer. She championed community gardens.
Friends of Lois Swenson's put together a website, loisswenson.com, with memorials, links to media stories about her life and death, and photos.
"Because she was such a champion of justice and to see that she hasn't herself had justice in her death has been hard," said Sonya Forseth, a lifelong friend of Swenson's.
Hundreds of people held a vigil at her house after her death, and nearly 1,000 attended her funeral service, said her brother, Dean Swenson, Jan's husband.
"One of the things that has been bothering me ever since this happened is that question of 'Why?" said Dean Swenson. "Why would someone take the life of Lois? In my mind it was such a callous and cowardly act that brought her life to an end."
Anyone with information on her case should contact Crime Stoppers of Minnesota at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or go to the Crime Stoppers website at crimestoppersmn.org and click on "Give a Tip." People with information can also send a text to Crime Stoppers at 274637. Start the text with "TIP674" and then add your information. Tips can also go the Minneapolis Police Department by texting "MPD" and the information to 847411.
Speaking Friday, Jan Swenson said her family hopes to find justice for Lois.
"This would be the greatest Christmas gift we could get," she said.

IMO, every problem that WE knew of HBK being apart of back then was because of him. The heat started with Bret was because he thought Bret was fucking Tammy, who was still Candido's girl. But in reality, Bulldog was fucking her. Not to mention, he would bitch and complain everytime he was asked to put someone over. So, I wonder why his only friends where the guy he got a job that ended up slowing the momentum of Bret, his pill buddy and a kid they used for comedy when drunk?
Your whole post is screaming "this is what HBK would say" but the problem is, you're not HBK. You don't know what he was thinking and I don't either, which is why I always say "IMO".

If you need to whip something up quick to cure your kid's boredom, this "pin" on Pinterest said you can make "moon sand" for your kids to play with and you probably already have the ingredients on hand.
The pin said you'll need two simple ingredients: flour and baby oil.
The original pin calls for 8 cups of flour and one cup of oil.
Next, put the ingredients in a bag or container and mix it up.
The pin said we should have "moon sand" when we're done!

Main for side = roasted cauliflower
- linguafood Apr 15, 2009 11:29 AM
No, I don't want a food exchange with someone '-D
I want to roast cauliflower tonight for dinner b/c the weather outside is disgusting, but I'm kinda stumped as to what to serve with it. I'd like it to be low-key, as I don't have much time for prepping. What would complement the sweet-roasted goodness? Fish? Meat? Shrimp?
Gaaaa. I'm drawing a blank here --
Could be anything - I don't think there's a limit here. It might depend on exactly what you want to top it with (if anything) but the sky is truly the limit. Could be a steak, could be a whole chicken, could be par boiled and sauteed with shrimp.
Simple = spaghetti w/ oil, garlic & red pepper flakes. Squeeze of fresh lemon too. Maybe some italian parsley to brighten up the plate. :)
Or lemon roasted chicken thighs. I know I post about this all the time but take the zest of two lemons and muddle it w/ Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Juice the lemons in a roasting pan, put the thighs in skin side up and slather the skins w/ the zest mixture. Let sit for 15 mins or so and then roast in a preheated 425 degree oven for 40 mins or so.
re: lynnlato
another vote for the roasted chicken with lemon...i might add capers & a splash of white wine.
and though i always love simple, roasted cauliflower, a tahini sauce would also be great with it.
I definitely agree with the roasted chicken thighs, lemon sounds delicious but if thats not your thing I always get great results by mixing yogurt with some spices, making a few slits in the skin and then slathering the yogurt on and roasting. Spice suggestions:
1. za'atar
2. garam masala and orange zest (add a tiny bit of juice the chicken will really pick up the citrus flavor)
3. curry powder
Those are just my favorites but you could really go anywhere with this. I did a similar chicken a few weeks ago where I just stuffed a bunch of chopped up fresh herbs under the skin and roasted it that way. Hard to go wrong there. PLUS, if you go the roasted chicken route you can do the chicken same time you do the cauliflower, and since everything just has to sit in the oven you can relax while the food goes.
And to end, a confession - if I'm cooking for myself I'll often just roast up a ton of vegetables and thats it. A dinner of roasted cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and sweet potatoes = divine.
re: goodhealthgourmet
tell me more about this tahini sauce. I love tahini and run out of things to do with it. I love a dip made with yogurt, soy sauce, tahini.
re: lexpatti
GHG's LEMON-TAHINI SAUCE
2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tsp.)
1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¾ cup tahini
½ Tbsp. wheat-free tamari
¼ - ½ cup spring water
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Heat olive oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté garlic in oil until fragrant and lightly golden (but not browned), approximately 1-2 minutes. Add cumin, and sauté for about a minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Stir in cayenne, lemon juice, tahini, tamari, and ¼ cup of water. Simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes, adding additional water by the tablespoon if it's too thick. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, and serve over roasted cauliflower (or broccoli). Garnish with additional parsley, toasted sesame seeds, and a sprinkling of za'atar.
re: goodhealthgourmet
yum yum yum!!! Thanks so much - I know what's for dinner - bet it would be good over roasted cabbage too. Or eggplant and polenta maybe. I have to use up an eggplant soon.
re: lexpatti
ooh, i'll bet it will be delicious with roasted eggplant. enjoy!
re: goodhealthgourmet
Ok, so I did this tonight with roasted brocoli and something went wrong - it hardened up fast and even after added more water to thin - it curdled. It was good/great flavor, but not silky creamy. I changed one thing and used Braggs Liq. instead of soy or tamari - could that have done it??
re: lexpatti
weird. the Bragg's definitely shouldn't have made a difference. did you *boil* it? because a hard boil could have caused the problem. next time (if you make it again), be sure to bring it to a low simmer at most, and try stirring in the lemon juice at the last minute after you take it off the heat.
i'm sorry the texture went wonky on you but at least it tasted good!
re: goodhealthgourmet
Oooh, this looks fantastic. I am not a fan of broccoli, but know I should eat it for the health benefits, I think this might just be the ticket!!! I Plan to give it a whirl at somepoint this week--thanks for sharing :)
And yup, I relize this thread is ancient, I cam across it following links from the more recent black bean dip thread, lol.
re: FoodyGirly
Well, guess what FG -- you may have been late for the dance, but a nice beefy "side" it was, i.e. a nice big fat rib-eye my man and I split topped with some red wine buttered mushrooms ! The cauliflower came out well, though fresh would've been even better, and yielded more. I can't wait to make it again. The tahini sauce sounds intriguing, especially since I KNOW I absolutely love fried cauliflower added to falafel or shawarma sandwiches --
thanks, all!
This is the easiest, laziest, 3-ingredient recipe for roasted cauliflower that always garners a lot of "Wows"--and i barely have to try! I created this dish after reading a Chow version of this dish ("soy sauce & black pepper cauliflower), thinking---"wait, i can make this even more authentic (after all, i'm asian) and even flavorful and spicier.!" What i love are all the roasted little bits of marinated cauliflower that explode with caramelized deliciousness.
If you love black peppercorns and heat, you will LOVE this dish.
1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
olive oil
3-4 tablespoons of Lee Kum Kee Black Pepper Sauce (found in most aisles for Asian foods in the grocery store)
chopped cilantro for garnish
1>preheat over to 350 degrees.
2>Dilute black pepper sauce with a good splash of olive oil (or water, if you're counting calories) so it's more runny instead of thick. Toss with Cauliflower in a bowl until evenly coated.
3>Roast 40 minutes or until desired texture.
4> toss with freshly chopped cilantro.
re: asianbun
Thanks, ab, that sounds delish. I will definitely make roasted cauli again, and give your recipe a shot!!!
re: asianbun
yum, thank you - I love asian flavors!
Roasted cauli goes with anything-pork, chicken, fish. I am a purist, and like mine with just coated with o/o and a shake of montreal seasoning. Roast for 35 minutes at 400*- when I remove the pan from the oven, I give them a few generous grates of fresh parm or other hard Italian cheese.

The son of a career army officer, Bennett led a nomadic life, attending ten different schools before graduating in 1980 from the University of North Alabama with degrees in Art and History. After brief stints as a staff artist at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Fayetteville (NC) Times, he went on to serve as the editorial cartoonist for the St. Petersburg Times (1981-1994) and The Christian Science Monitor (1997-2007), before joining the staff of the ...
And therein lies the problem...
We, as a society, seem to be overly concerned about the welfare of someone who has been sentenced to death. Granted, there are unfortunately, a few now and again, that 'fall through the cracks', but can we, in perpetuity, sustain a prison system without "the ultimate punishment?"
It has been said, "...better 10 guilty persons go free than to unduly punish one innocent person...." Even God allowed Abraham to talk him into sparing Sodom and Gomorrah if there were five righteous people living there.
And yet, even The Creator finally realized, in some instances the death penalty is called for. And when administering His death penalty God didn't appear to be overtly concerned with humane treatment.
I say this because some need to be reminded of the less-than-humane ways in which the victims of crime are treated on a daily basis. Should we really be that concerned about putting someone to death in a more humane fashion than those they, themselves, put to death in the first place??
I think not, Woody
Why am I not surprised Bennett is more worried about the well being of the criminal rather than the victim?
Along Woody's line, since execution by stoning was good enough for God to have Moses use it, it'd be fine with me; the laws God gave Moses were exactly the laws Moses needed, though some things have changed since (!).
If we want to be nice, Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact magazine awhile back suggested execution by making them breathe pure nitrogen. The air we breathe is 80% nitrogen anyway.
I am not sure what side I am on for this subject quite frankly. On the one hand I recognize that Government has been given the right to execute wrong doers for such things as murder, and as such I don't have the problem if they are truly guilty of the crime. And there lies the rub...there has been too many cases of innocent people being convicted for crimes they did not do, and I know one person convicted wrongly is one person too many. But since there is going to be disagreement on this one Ladies and Gentlemen, let me ask for civility. There is good people that disagree on both sides of the fence on this one. And all the name calling in this world is not going to change anyone's mind.
The important point that advocates for the death penalty keeping missing is this trivial matter called the U.S. Constitution. History has clearly demonstrated, affirmed by several comments already posted in this exchange, that we are unable to administer the death penalty as "justice" rather than as retribution; that we are unable to administer the death penalty fairly; and, that we are unable to administer the death penalty without significant risk of executing innocents.
Michigan State provides an excellent site for the topic of the death penalty. Both sides of the argument will find plenty of convincing material to defend their case. Some time at this site, including their interactive maps and their arguments for and against the death penalty, is a great educational lesson on the issue: http://teacher.deathpenaltycurriculum.org/
MTJohn said" History has . . . demonstrated. . . we are unable to administer the death penalty as "justice" rather than as retribution; that we are unable to administer the death penalty fairly; and, that we are unable to administer the death penalty without significant risk of executing innocents."
I believe what you said is very true, MTJohn. But I don't think those who support and advocate for the death penalty are as conscientious as you about fairness and/or as willing as you to acknowledge the kind of basic human limitations that you've so aptly identified.
I thought I might wait until tomorrow before 'chiming in' again, but a couple things needs to be said.
First of all, Mountainlaurel, retribution means.."Punishment that is considered to be morally right and fully deserved...." So, what is "justice" if not retribution??
Secondly, Reardon, I can only assume that if anyone (not necessarily just you) can't tell the difference between murder and a state-sanctioned execution, the only thing left to say is ignorance is ignorance.
Peace be with you, Woody
When my daughter was attacked and would, probably, have been killed, I was ready for retribution by my own hands. I don't think the person who did it was ever caught, although there were similar incidents in the area.
It took several weeks to analyze the anger and realize the police were trying their best.
It's about 40 years later, and I'm sure I'd feel the same if I ever met the attacker.
I am not qualified to be intirely objective on this subject.
I know, intellectually, and like Jimmy Carter in the 70's, that the death sentence does not prevent crime. It is purely retribution against a heinous act. But emotionally, I inwardly rage!
My daughter's behaviour, even before the crime, and as a child was questionable, and people will say,"She asked for it", but that isn't true.
Her family knows not where she is and what has happened to her for the past 2 years except that she attempted, with all the distorted emotions governing her behaviour, to gain a life for herself at the expense of others.
We know her 16 year old son was a truant, and now lives a suspect life alone? probably as a gang member and has lied, stolen, and cheated for years. We don't know how to help them, but hope that she has been placed in an institution and is being cared for.
Her son is somewhere in the West and probably dealing drugs to survive. He is under watch as he is only 16 and yet again a truant.
None of us could cope with them when they lived with different family members and friends for short periods. She said she gave birth to her son so that she would have someone to take care of her when she grew old.
We think a lot about them, and wonder, yet, how we could help them. They seem not to realize how much they've hurt themselves and others,
So... I withdraw!
Woody -- who has the intrinsic right to take another's life by force?
All the "state" is is a bunch of elected and appointed individuals -- what truly is so special about such a hodge-podge of people having the divine right to end a man's life?
Woody said: "So, what is "justice" if not retribution??"
I believe the meaning of word "justice" has some connotations attached to it that the word "retribution" does not. For example, the word "justice" is most frequently used to denote a certain sense of fairness, especially in the way people are treated or decisions are made. The word "retribution" on the other hand is more of a "eye for an eye" punishment kind of thing.
Incidentally, I note the State of Texas will be holding a hearing in December to decide whether the death penalty is unconstitutional in the state based on the disproportionately high risk of wrongful convictions in Texas:
"At a hearing scheduled for Monday, December 6, a district court in Texas will decide whether the death penalty is unconstitutional in the state based on the disproportionately high risk of wrongful convictions in Texas. This is the first time in the state's history that a court will examine the problem of innocent people being executed in a Texas capital trial.
John Edward Green, Jr., the defendant in Texas v. Green, is charged in the fatal shooting of a 34-year-old Houston woman during a 2008 robbery. According to legal documents obtained by HuffPost, Green's defense attorneys will be arguing on Monday that a number of factors in Texas's legal system increase the risk of wrongful executions there, including a lack of safeguards to protect against mistaken eyewitness identification, faulty forensic evidence, incompetent lawyers at the appellate level, failures to guard against false confessions and a history of racial discrimination in jury selection."
Your rage is certainly understandable and it's unfortunate that your daughter's attacker was never convicted. It wouldn't have taken away all the pain, but it might have helped.
now days, someone is convicted of a hidious crime, sentenced to death, lounges around on death row for 20-25 years and is put to sleep with a painless injection.
Where's the deterrent in that?
I say, convict them fairly, give them a reasonable time for appeal and carry out the sentence with a moderate amount of pain.
Then the death penalty will not be needed as often!
Woody said: "We, as a society, seem to be overly concerned about the welfare of someone who has been sentenced to death. Granted, there are unfortunately, a few now and again, that 'fall through the cracks."
Is this you way of telling us that if you should be one of those innocents who fall through the cracks you don't want any of us to be overly concerned about your welfare?
The death penalty may not be a deterrent but is certainly cuts down on repeat offenders. When there is no doubt as in the case of Robert Kennedy's killer, Sirhan, there should be a rapid legal processing, including appeals, and execution. What justification is there for allowing Manson to live and be supported by tax payers. Where there exist a possibility of innocence then and only then should the death penalty be withheld. The expense to tax payers to support those where no doubt of guilt exist is staggering. We are more protective of the criminal than we are of their victims. Who cares if there is pain or some extensive discomfort, their victim and the victims familiy certainly felt immense pain and suffering.
The insanity plea is the most ridiculous defense allowed. If the crime was committed because the person was insane then the death penalty should still be carried out. It is evident some degree of insanity has to exist to commit murder, aggravated rape, child molestation and other heinous crimes. I have heard nothing to convince me when the evidence leaves "no doubt" and not just "reasonable doubt" that the death penalty should not be used. If my opinion offends bleeding heart sympathizers that is just tough don't bother trying to convince me I'm wrong.
"The death penalty may not be a deterrent but is certainly cuts down on repeat offenders."
I agree with the second part.
The problem with the first part is that if one is to accept that there is no deterrent effect caused by a certainty that if caught, intentionally and with aforethought, killing another humans, one will meet a ghastly end at the hands of the state, then, one should logically assume that all types of punishment are ineffective and should cease.
A punishment is a punishment, right? Some more serious and costly than others, but the same none the less.
I know you, h339, are not advocating this, I'm just pointing out the failure of logic coming from the "It's not a deterrent" crowd.
I'm all for giving everyone a fair trial and a chance to appeal a conviction, BUT, as soon as that process has been expedited to it's conclusion, put 'em down forthwith and dispense with the "humanely" crap.
On a side trail of the same logical route, suppose that a criminal were contemplating a robbery at one of two residences. If the criminal saw that one of the homes had "Security by Smith&Wesson" and "Never Mind the Dog, Beware of Owner" signs on the fence, and the other had "Peace" and "Can't We All Just Get Along" signs, which one would be the more likely target?
Deterrence due to fear of death?
Woody - I probably should have said "revenge" rather than "retribution" in my original post.
And to that MTJohn, I would have to say..we are on the same page.
Woody -- who has the intrinsic right to take another's life by force?
Well, Reardon, you and I (assuming of course we both voted for them) gave those elected officials the "right" whether "intrinsic" or not. Face it.."The Buck" has to stop somewhere.
Woody said: "We, as a society, seem to be overly concerned about the welfare of someone who has been sentenced to death. Granted, there are unfortunately, a few now and again, that 'fall through the cracks."
Is this you way of telling us that if you should be one of those innocents who fall through the cracks you don't want any of us to be overly concerned about your welfare?
Mountainlaurel, you've asked a very valid question. To which I can only say, if I were in that position, having gone through the trial and all of the appeals possible, it would come down to whether I was ready to die.
Not for the crime I didn't commit, but ready in my heart and soul to die. Not to sound too much like one of our 'brother posters' but Jesus was executed on behalf of all of us and never committed a sin. I am not likening myself to Jesus, only his set of circumstances.
It may be that being executed unjustly might be the very reason I was put on this earth. I would certainly put up a fight and would expect others to do likewise..but if after all that it came down to being executed unjustly..well a purpose is a purpose.
I guess what it all 'boils down to' is that no "truly innocent" person should ever get as far as 'death row' but should it happen, I have to believe it will serve a higher purpose.
One man's opinion, Woody

MSNBC aired a series called (I think) SuperMax. It was about the trials and tribulations of inmates at high security prisons. After five minutes, one wonders why these animals haven't been put down. Super Max indeed. In fact, super expensive, super dangerous for the guards, and a super waste of resources.
I wonder if anyone seriously thinks that a criminal ever ponders for one second, the consequences of their actions and/or what may happen IF they are caught, tried, and found guilty of an offense that may result in the death penalty.
The death penalty is no more a deterrent to crime than are fines set forth to deter speeding on our highways.
While I feel that there are certain criminal acts that warrant the death penalty, if found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, I have little or no concern for any amount of pain or discomfort that one may experience in the final moments of their life.
But here's the thing -- If I were to sit on a jury and are asked to vote in judgment as to whether or not to end someone's life for their criminal act, I'm going to have to be very convinced that they did the crime. The evidence is going to have to be leaving little or no doubt whatsoever that they did the deed that deserves their execution.
After the Tonya Craft trial, which of course was not a death penalty case, but a guilty verdict would have derailed her life for decades, I have lost a considerable amount of faith in our system of justice, especially at the local level.
Yes, justice prevailed, but the bigger question remains. Why was that case ever prosecuted in the first place?
How many people out there HAVE been prosecuted by attorneys trying to make a name for themselves as civil servants, so that they can try further their careers with a win in a nationally publicized case under their belts?
How many people who have been put on death row in prisons across this nation did not have a decent lawyer to represent them in court during their trial? Would Tonya Craft's case had the same outcome if she had only been represented by a local court-appointed attorney?
I doubt there is one person who would say "yes."
Suspending the death penalty due to any concerns of humanity is rather silly.
I can think of more valid reasons for suspending the death penalty due to our lopsided system of justice that quite often puts people in the position of facing a jury that votes to put people to death.
alprova, The death penalty and execution should only occur when there is no doubt as to guilt. Sirhan Sirhan was on video assassinating candidate Robert Kennedy. He should have been tried, convicted and fried immediately, if there was discomfort to him due to the method, tough stuff. Manson should have been executed years ago. There are thousands of examples such as these.
I agree the only ones that say we have the greatest justice system in the world are lawyers or those parroting lawyers. Our system is broken and I would hesitate to execute based on circumstantial evidence only. But, suspending it with no exceptions would not be wise. There are cases where I would volunteer to carry out the penalty in the prescribed form.
Requiring the prosecuting entity to reimburse the defendants legal expenses when there was a finding of innocent and shared cost if the ruling was not guilty would discourage prosecuting when evidence was not sufficient. I am suggesting there is a difference in a verdict of innocent and a not guilty verdict.
Woody, no offense, but I cannot believe that God would put a life down here on Earth, who's only "purpose" is to die for a criminal offense that he or she did not commit.
The very fact that it happens at all is proof, at least in my opinion, that God does not interfere in the affairs of Earth under ANY circumstances.
For if he did, crime would not exist to begin with. Prayers would save the lives of all those about to be murdered, who ask for devine intervention. God's justice would be swift and instant.
"Purpose," pertaining to a life, is a word used by those who cannot explain that which can never be explained. None of us knows what our true purpose on Earth is, from day to day. Others use the phrase, "God's will" to explain the inexplicable.
All that aside, I hope that I am not ever accused of a crime that I have not committed. However, if I am, I hope that I will not be put to death for it, and again, no offense, I sure hope you are not on the jury, in the off-chance that you think that my purpose in life is to die for a crime I may not have committed.
Woody said: "Ready in my heart and soul to die."
You're such a "dear," I suspect your family and friends would be in a great deal of pain if, indeed, you came to be among those who as you say "fell through the cracks" of a faulty court system.
But what should your family and friends do after you've been wrongfully executed? Clearly, they know of your innocence, and know only too well of the flaws within the court system? Should they seek retribution? I doubt they will be able to simply walk away, and say, oh well, Woody's gone.
Hambone said: "Where's the deterrent in that?"
And if an innocent person is wrongfully executed, hambone? What sort of penalty and deterrent do you recommend for this? Oops, hardly seems "just" to me.
And what if the "wrongful execution" involves the integrity of the prosecutors, should we prosecute the prosecutors for reckless endangerment? . . . An incompetent lawyer for gross negligence? What should we do to prevent this kind of thing from happening?
Clearly, we, as a society, must do something to deter wrongful executions. If no one has anything to lose, no one will care and wrongful executions will continue to occur.
Mountainlaurel, I can assure you, I've been thought of as quite a few things in my life, but "a dear" was probably not one of them. Honest about what I believe in, right or wrong, politically correct or not, definitely..but I'll show your sentiment to my wife and she if she laughs.
If not maybe there is hope for me yet.
Back on target, though, what my family and friends might do is out of my control. However, as I stated earlier, I would hope my unjust death would lead to a "higher purpose"..but hopefully I will never have to find for sure.
As for your comment, Alprova.. "Woody, no offense, but I cannot believe that God would put a life down here on Earth, who's only "purpose" is to die for a criminal offense that he or she did not commit...."
For murder, exclusively, I could only assume the number might be at least one and less than ??? However, it is my belief we are all 'placed' here for a specific purpose, for a predetermined amount of time, and when "it" is accomplished we pass from the scene.
Again..this is just one man's opinion or belief.. and I may be proven wrong someday, but it will not be by anyone here, I dare say..with all due respect to you and your particular beliefs.
Still friends, Woody
This was nice and fuzzy but what happened to the real news about the state of our financial affairs as a country. Now I'm not a smart man like so many on here but as I listened to both sides of the isle describe where we are and what needs to be done I believe I actually heard the word DEPRESSION from the mouth of a DEMOCRAT. It appears they all must be listeners of Limbaugh, Beck & crew and the rest of the conservative crazies because this is what they have been saying for a few years. Maybe it was just a dream. I'll watch the news until Barney Frank tells me it's O.K. After all, he was right about Fannie & Freddie, wasn't he? It sure did seem real though. And Woody was so astute to point out that what happens in theis country is nobodys fault but our own. We own the whole thing.
Harp3339 wrote: "I am suggesting there is a difference in a verdict of innocent and a not guilty verdict."
There is no such thing in the United States as a "verdict of innocent."
A jury is never asked to determine if the defendant is factually innocent. They are asked to determine if the prosecution meets the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Thus, a defendant could be quite guilty, but the prosecution failed to prove such guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Trials based solely on circumstantial evidence are a good example of a likely guilty defendant, but who was not prosecuted because the evidence presented in court was not backed up with solid and undeniable evidence of a more solid nature.
Innocence or guilt of someone is a determination made in the minds of those who have formed an opinion, based on what they deem to be the relevant proof offered in court, one way or the other.
O.J. Simpson was found not-guilty by a jury, but there are very few people in this country who truly feel he was innocent of the crime of murdering two people. That being said, despite my feeling that he was guilty of the crime he was charged with, I could not vote to condemn the man to death.
Are innocent people found guilty of a crime? You bet, and more frequently that you would ever expect.
Here is but one irrefutable case that came to light a couple of years ago. Although he was not put to death for his alleged crime, he died in prison, a completely innocent man;
Please devote the time to read all three parts that came to conclusively prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he was an innocent man.
Informative and excellent posts, thank you. Harp and Woody may be a bit cavalier now about your efforts, but I'm confident this would change if they suddenly found themselves or one of their family members among the innocent who as Woody says, "fell through the cracks."
In fact, I suspect Harp and Woody would be thinking of you almost daily and chastising themselves over and over again for failing to see and acknowledge the flaws that exist within our legal system and the obvious risks of wrongfully executing an innocent person.
Mountainlaurel, I know you mean well. I'm just confused as to which definition of "cavalier" did you have in mind for Harp and me??
[kav-uh-leer, kav-uh-leer]
1.a horseman, esp. a mounted soldier; knight. 2.one having the spirit or bearing of a knight; a courtly gentleman; gallant. 3.a man escorting a woman or acting as her partner in dancing. 4.( initial capital letter ) an adherent of Charles I of England in his contest with Parliament.
–adjective 5.haughty, disdainful, or supercilious: an arrogant and cavalier attitude toward others. 6.offhand or unceremonious: The very dignified officials were confused by his cavalier manner. 7.( initial capital letter ) of or pertaining to the Cavaliers. 8.( initial capital letter ) of, pertaining to, or characteristic of the Cavalier poets or their work.
–verb (used without object)
9.to play the cavalier. 10.to be haughty or domineering.
As to whether or not I might eventually chastise myself for airing a 'different' opinion here today than that of Alprova (because I can't speak for Harp)..probably not.
And the reason is due to the fact I do acknowledge the flaws in our legal system and I also admit to not having the 'power' to do anything to change them. I can, on occasion, vote for someone who might be in a position to help change the law, but likely won't unless he or she sees an advantage to do so.
Until then..it's up to fate..or "God's Plan", whichever you subscribe to...
P.S. I also enjoy Al's posts.. Woody
I think Clay's cartoon refers more to the irony of the definition, "cruel and unusual," rather than the basic right/wrongness of the death penalty itself.
While I'm sure there are those who, "need killin'," as the saying goes, I'll never be entirely comfortable with giving the State the authority to execute American citizens. I hate to say this, but if it were as simple as five bullets, rather than a $1 million all-expenses-taxpayer-funded trip to the afterlife, I might be more easily persuaded. But then there are the therapy bills when the members of the firing squad all develop PTSD...
The debate over the definition of "cruel and unusual," is kind of interesting. Obviously we, as a society, believe that execution should be reasonably uncomfortable--otherwise, we'd just give them tons of sleeping pills and a bottle of Jack. But we also don't want it to be too painful, either, which rules out burning, drowning, beating, quartering, and other ghastly ends.
My guess is that, aside from dying in one's sleep, death is pretty damn unpleasant no matter how you slice it. A judge has ruled that lethal injection in TN is too unpleasant, and is thus "cruel and unusual," but again, what is a reasonable level of suffering?
Of course, the second factor is the executioner. A bullet to the head, which (should) result in instant death, could be a merciful end for the condemned, but is not so merciful for the gunman. We strive for methods that punish enough, but not too much, while affecting the health and well being of others as little as possible. That's a pretty tricky set of criteria.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL. Don't be deceived by foolishness & trickery. Go back, It's a trick!!!
let me try again to make myself clear. I am not advocating death for all convictions. I do think when there is no doubt as was the case with Robert Kennedy's killer and others on video tape and others that have publicly bragged about their crime there should be no hesitation to use the death penalty. I don't agree that if a jury concludes guilt when there is not conclusive evidence beyond eye witnesses the death penalty is appropriate. But, when there is "no Doubt" snuff them out.
I am in no way a violent person however If someone attacks my daughter and I know who they are I promise you the legal system will be trying me instead of them, I will be guilty of executing the attacker, I won't take the chance on the system failing to invoke the death penalty.
Woody said: "Which definition of "cavalier" did you have in mind?"
A "bit" cavalier, Woody, is what I think I said. I was referencing the "haughty" definition, which I believe means, "behaving in sort of a superior, condescending way."
I felt this way mostly because of your statement -- "We, as a society, seem to be overly concerned about the welfare of someone who has been sentenced to death. Granted, there are unfortunately, a few now and again, that fall through the cracks etc." -- This just sounded a bit cavalier to me.
As to God's plan, let me say I only know God did not set up our flawed legal system which sometimes leads to wrongful executions. No, we did this, and we need to do something to prevent it from happening. While we may not have the power to directly change it on our own, we still need to speak out about the problem. If we don't speak out, nothing will ever change.
mountainlaurel is haughty. Or is it cavalier. God's plan??? So please explain what this is??? I hear many versions of this idea. Imaginary at best. There are a few that as you say "Fall between the cracks." The fact is that many of these poor unfortunate souls lives teeter on someone's political future and creating a perp. As is always the case, when the evidence points directly away from the convicted, some jackhole prosecutor spews his rhetoric about how the verdict is without any flaws and the person behind bars is guilty. It is just as difficult for a governor to commute a sentence. I don't think you would fair any better in front of a jury of your peers. At least not this crazed god fearing bunch. You would need to do more than to speak up as you say. Did you hear Walmart hates jesus and god. It's true. They gave away all their christmas trees. Just ask Bearman at FM 101. What a hole!!
If any of you are unfamiliar with The Innocence Project, visit http://www.innocenceproject.org. It is a non-profit legal clinic dedicated to using DNA testing to exonerate innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Since 2000, they have won 194 exonerations of innocent people.
The flip side of this issue is that every time an innocent person is convicted, a guilty person is roaming the streets.
I don't imagine any god wants credit for such a flawed system.
Harp3339: "The death penalty and execution should only occur when there is no doubt as to guilt."
But aren't you missing the point, Harp3339? People are being wrongfully executed because somebody felt "there was no doubt as to guilt." And according to the article I linked earlier on this thread, wrongful executions have occurred even in cases involving alleged eyewitnesses.
Can anyone tell me what bible verse 'lethal injection' is in? Remeber this nation was founded of 'christian' values.
It's suppossed to be a punishment not a trip to a day spa. Light their @## up! These criminals didn't give their victims a choice as to how they wanted to die or offer to make their deaths "comfortable". They damn sure didn't get 20+ years to appeal their case. Vote these sorry liberal @## lawmakers and judges out! You can bet if their wife and/or daughter had suffered at the hands of these animals they wouldn't be so concerned for the "rights" of these criminals. What about the rights of those poor victims and their families?

The energy that teachers spend scolding students for using their cell phones soon may be redirected toward encouraging use of the mobile devices in the classroom.
"They're bringing them to school anyway, so why not use them?" asked Cathleen Richardson, an Atlanta-based education consultant and chief innovation officer of Cre8tiv Educational Services.
A presentation Richardson gave recently on the benefits of using cell phones as educational tools in the classroom has prompted Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Jim Scales to consider re-examining the district's cell phone use policy, he said recently.
The school system now has a districtwide policy preventing cell phone use during the school day, which is executed slightly differently from campus to campus.
"As change takes place in our overall society, we have to get comfortable with it," Scales said. "There was a time when parents didn't allow their kids to have cell phones ... so, things change. We need to look at the real benefits of it and also the downfalls of it."
Any change in the cell phone rules would require a Hamilton County Board of Education vote, Scales said. He plans to have Richardson visit Hamilton County this spring to talk to officials about the pros and cons of allowing cell phones in the classroom.
Facing slim technology budgets, school systems across the country increasingly are turning to mobile devices that many students already own -- cell phones and smart phones -- to do everything from online research to test-taking to e-book reading, Richardson said.
"You can even dissect a frog with an app on your iPhone," she said.
Although Hamilton County teachers don't use cell phones in the classroom often, some of the more technologically inclined already have thought about how they might.
Marilyn Spickard's classroom at Soddy-Daisy Middle School is filled with computers, scanners, digital cameras and a laser. The technology teacher said she knows that monitoring cell phone use in her classroom could give her some extra headaches, but she believes the devices' usefulness would be worth it.
"I teach with all the technology tools I can possibly get my hands on; [cell phones] would just be one more tool," she said. "I look for the day [students'] textbooks are loaded on an iPad or a Kindle, just for the sheer weight they have to carry."
Of course, if cell phones were only useful, Hamilton County wouldn't have a policy disallowing their use, officials say.
Texting or making phone calls during class would be a huge distraction, teachers say, so using cell phones couldn't be a free-for-all.
By the numbers
* 71 percent of youngsters between 12-17 have cell phones
* 46 percent of teenagers got their first cell phone at age 12 or 13
* Half of teens send 50 or more text messages a day, or 1,500 texts a month
* One in three send smore than 100 texts a day, or more than 3,000 texts a month.
Source: Pew Internet and American Life Project
"Maybe there's a cell phone basket and only let them pull them out when it's time to use them," Richardson suggested.
Carol Goss, principal at Tyner Academy, agreed, saying she doesn't imagine a revised cell phone policy would allow students to use their phone whenever they wanted.
"It would be more an exception than a rule," she said.
Officer Vaughn Crane, a school resource officer at Howard School of Academics and Technology, said cell phones on campus also create another problem.
"Kids bring $300 and $400 phones to school, and the bigger issue for us is that bringing cell phones to school results in thefts," he said.
But Sam Martin, a special education teacher at Rivermont Elementary School, believes teaching students to properly use technology will help with academics.
"Sometimes it's so hard to get kids to write to a narrative prompt, but these same kids love texting," he said. "On Twitter, they have to know how much information they can fit into 140 characters. We hate what it does to modern spelling, but kids do learn what information is most important."
Marty Massengale, a technology teacher at Chattanooga School for the Liberal Arts, said he allows e-mail-based chatting in his classroom. Although the potential for distraction exists, he believes it also provides a way to teach responsible use -- much like he believes cell phones in class would.
"I think it depends on the school and how the students respond to the freedom. ... We could shut off [the instant messaging], but I think we'd be much better off to teach them to responsibly use it," he said.

Good luck. Kids will just treat it as a warrant for free use and text all the more. Just start confiscating the phones when discovered and return them at the end of the term. That might solve the problem. For an "Atlanta-based consultant" to say "they are going to use them anyway" is simply a defeatist attitude that helps his company make some money off Chattanooga schools. Do we let kids sell drugs at school "because they are going to do them anyway?"
I wonder if he was associated with the Atlanta Public Schools or School Board, they are doing such a good job down there.
Cell phones are not computers. The so-called educational apps that are being generated for cell phones are watered down and attenuated compared with such an experience on a real computer, like the difference between attending a symphony orchestra in a concert hall versus listening to it on an iPod speaker in a train station. Both input and output are thin and watery on cell phones; the quality of thinking going on when using a cell phone for education is definitely narrow-band.
Why are we "settling for" constantly? Our parents' generation was better educated with books than we are with computers, and we are better educated with computers than our children will be with cell phones. That's the bottom line.
Cell phones and texting are a fad that will fade. Nobody uses pet rocks or Beatles wigs in education, do they?
Part 1:
Hello inquiringmind. First, I am a she and I didn't say "they are going to use them anyway"...I said "they're bringing them to school anyway." I have worked with many school districts across the nation who have implemented mobile devices into their curriculum with much success. Since I have researched this topic and worked hands-on with schools to infuse these devices, let me give you some data that you aren't aware of:
Mobile devices are helping students to increase their fluency skills greatly. Our schools are packed with students who aren't on grade level and can't read. Literacy is a huge issue and programs like iRead are turning schools around and increasing literacy and standardized test scores when more traditional avenues have failed. Here is a link so you can read more: https://sites.google.com/a/eusd.org/eusd-iread/
Schools have had to endure massive budget cuts over the past few years. Technology is proven to engage and stimulate our students to want to learn content they otherwise aren't interested in. Since many of our students come to school each day with these devices (many schools allow cell phones to be brought to school, just not used during instructional time) I believe we should consider utilizing them in many ways. Have you ever heard of student response systems? Well, the 20th century model of teaching is that a teacher would lecture from Monday to Thursday and then assess students on Friday. In the 21st century we can no longer wait for Friday to see if our students have failed. Equipped with mobile devices a classroom of students can respond to a poll generated by a teacher. The teacher can then receive instant feedback from them as whether they understood the content or not. And the cost to faithful taxpayers as yourself...$0.00. Check out http://polleverywhere.com.
Part 2:
- And for @hcirehttae technology is not a fad, neither are mobile devices. Technology will only evolve. You may want to research our first U.S. Chief Information Officer, Vivek Kundra and read his thoughts on mobile devices. He created a program called "Apps for Democracy" in Washington D.C. Research how much money he saved DC in one year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Ku...). If we have decision-makers in our midst such as Mr. Kundra who believe heavily in technology...where do you think this country is going in regard to technology?
Our students have more resources available to them today than you or your parents ever did combined. And with the mobile device, it is ubiquitous. Anywhere...anytime with these devices our children can learn. Equipped with a smart phone like an iPhone, a student has the world's largest database at their disposal for research, their summer reading books, textbooks, audiobooks, podcasts, a microscope, a scanner, a word processor, a calculator, and we haven't even scratched the surface with apps! And yes, there is an app for that...and they are far from watered down. To be able to use an app like Voice Memos to record a student making a cold read to assess their fluency level, how many words they read per minute (all aligned with state and national standards) and allow them to hear themselves and then self-correct...wow! And then, with a tap of my finger I can email the voice memo straight to their parent in an effort to bridge the gap between home and school so they can help their struggling reader...wow!
We can no longer debate whether we should or shouldn't, but rather how. By the year 2020, 75% of all jobs will have a high saturation of technology. If we don't prepare our students for these jobs now by teaching them how to use technology like mobile devices efficiently and successfully in the classroom...we have done them a great disservice. More data for you here: http://www.getdegrees.com/careers/tips/top-60-jobs-that-will-rock-the-future/
Part 3:
- You may also want to research QR codes and how they can revolutionize the classroom (I will just provide you a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayW032...), how we fare with students globally (countries like China, Africa, Japan and the UK have been using mobile devices for YEARS and with great success.) We have to prepare our students to compete globally. Research the following national and international schools as well:
The latter is an awesome account from Liz Kolb, the author of, "From Toy to Tool: Cell Phones in Learning."
As an educator, I am not settling, I am trying to find new and innovative ways to engage our children. If you have not noticed, our students are different, and they learn different. As result, they often feel disconnected from their teachers of yesteryear. We must rethink the way we educate our children, if not we may be faced with a permanent underclass, ill-equipped for the future that surely awaits them.
I too, doubted mobile devices in the classroom in the beginning, but after seeing first hand the power of these tools, I am now a strong proponent. Hopefully, after your research...you will too!
P.S. Read the Joan Ganz Cooney Center reports: iLearn, Pockets of Potential: Using Mobile Technologies to Promote Children's Learning and Learning: is there an app for that? http://www.joanganzcooneycenter.org/Research-Initiatives.html
Have a GREAT Sunday!

The comments demonstrate how effective bad PR for schools and teachers has been over the past few years.
The use of nearly anything could be called a fad. The idea of a fad is that it engages the current audience of students. Books don't do it in a mobile, multi-media age.
I have used cell phones in my classroom (not as much as I would like) for about 5 years. 75% the battle in a classroom is to get the students to zone in on what someone else says they should know (and that doesn't come from the teacher, it's from the government and the "standards" they choose). Using their tools is one way to encourage participation by the students. Students can't learn from work they don't do, so getting them to do some kind of work is often better than what occurs for too many students.
So, thank you Cathleen for fighting a battle I have tried to fight on a local level (not in Chattanooga) for about 10 years. The filtering of content in order to receive e-rate funding has creating a modern-day book burning by restricting the information students could use for classroom content. But an over-analyzed interpretation of CIPA laws (et. al) have given the power to the few IT people in schools.
Cell phones and self-owned gadgets put the responsibility on the teacher to monitor students, and the parents (if students access inappropriate "information" since it can be tracked) as to how to use and what to use it for. This approach is a much better filter than any tech-based system can provide, because it is personal.
The more high-tech we become, the more important it is to provide a human element in the lives of the children we teach.
I could keep going, but I won't...Those who understand the situation in today's schools are part of the choir, and those who don't understand the atmosphere of education will continue to criticize without a basis in knowledge.
I am a teacher and I am not even supposed to use a cell phone at school...until it's early dismissal, etc. Then I am expected to call parents, use my minutes and expose my private phone number. Of course, this is because the school only has one phone line. And yes, in this day and time, not everyone has felt the need to resort to an expensive smartphone or has unlimited plans. I know my own child, who hasn't caught on to the texting craze yet, still has a plain cell phone she keeps in her backpack for emergencies only. After school shootings, gang issues in school, including hers, I insist she carries something in case of emergency. My reason for bringing this up is that if cell phones are used in the classroom, which I can certainly see the pros to doing, how will we equalize the access? Not all students carry a phone, the same type of phone with unlimited things like internet or texting, so how will this occur? Do we purchase everyone the same model and make sure the phones are only used at school. Will they be assigned like textbooks are now? Will only the richer schools get them or those with high Title One needs who can get a grant? If you are going to do it for one, then do it for all of them. Equalize the technology we actually have or need before we talk about cell phones in classrooms. Perhaps we need to focus on getting all the schools up to date on all the items the state is mandating we are going to need for the future TCAP tests that will be administered four times a year via computers before we talk about cell phones. I would love to know how we are going to meet that unfunded mandated first.
And as a teacher of primary students even we have issues will cell phones in the classroom. I have 6 year olds whose cell phones have rung in the classroom. I answered one once and it was Grandma calling to say hello at 10 am on a school day. So yes, it is a major issue!
Hello again. Let me clarify a few points. I am not saying cellphones should be used all day everyday in the classroom. They should be used at appropriate times, just like lab. Students in science class don't use specific lab tools everyday. They use them when the curriculum calls for them to best enhance instruction. The same should be done with mobile devices.
Mobile devices can be cellphones as well as iPods. My point is that we can no longer ignore the influx of technology usage and the pink elephant in the room. Classroom management is key here as well. When students are engaged in the course content, research overwhelmingly shows students are less apt to indulge in behavioral issues. THESE CHILDREN ARE BORED TO DEATH! We have to find new ways to capture their dying attention.
I made a suggestion in the aforementioned article that they could be used only at certain times and when not in use they should be put away in a basket, backpack, etc. This is no different then laptops! Students can do all kinds of things on laptops too...but are the numbers of 1:1's and computer purchase orders declining in education? Uh no, they are skyrocketing. Classroom management is must. Teachers must have control of their classroom.
When students passed notes in my day the teacher didn't take their pen and paper away. Done properly, with much planning and all of the key people at the table...mobile devices can be a huge success.
To address a few more points...collaboration is a 21st Century Skill (www.p21.org/). Our students need to learn how to work well with others and in group settings. These tools can be shared. Additionally, many schools, especially Title 1 schools have received funding for technology purchases specifically. Many have received the School Improvement Grant, Race to the Top funding and/or SPLOST funding. Many mobile devices can be purchased with these funds, thus leveling the playing field. You may want to read, "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. As far as the TCAP which measures skills in Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, these devices can help students taking this assessment excel on the test as well as other standardized tests. Research this please...the data is overwhelming. Yes, our students need to learn how to read, compute mathematical concepts and develop scientific inquiry...these devices have proven to aid in these deficits.
We have to also be concerned not just about passing the test, but making sure our students are actually learning...not just enough to pass the test.
I am an educator in Bradley County that works with technology on a daily basis. I applaud the efforts of Dr. Scales in trying to get cell phones approved for educational use in Hamilton County. The Bradley County School Board approved such a measure a few months ago. There are so many educational uses for them, not the least of which is teaching children responsible use of technology. No, there are no SPIs on the TCAP that address responsible use. But there is this thing called "life" that could really use the instruction.
I agree about that test and all the others that we MUST give ALL the time. I would much rather be teaching, teaching, and teaching and not worrying about those tests but when I am told that 50% of my evaluation will now be based on that "test" and that it will be given four times a year and ALL on computers during the same time frame for all grade levels, then please don't wonder why teachers question how this technology supposed to come to us magically. This means in our county we are MANDATED by the state, with no additional funds, to test all students on COMPUTERS. I don't know about your school but we have no wireless, an average of 1 to 2 computers per classroom if that, no computer lab, no training of students on computers that is consistent. Our school infrastructure cannot even handle any updates at this point and needs replaced. When the server works at one end of the school it may not be working on the other end of the school. So either ALL students in the state need to stay paper and pencil or ALL need to go to computers with the updates to do so. I would LOVE to do more with technology and see so many benefits to it but, I am sorry, it's NOT FUNDED. I hope this changes because I am one of those teachers who would LOVE to have more technology and am willing to spend my own time learning how to make it effective. After 20 years in the system, I can tell you I have never been to a training that gave me enough information on any program to fully implement it without assistance later. Sadly, there is rarely follow up for us who want to move ahead once the funding that was there dries up.
I have no opposition to being held accountable for my teaching with test scores if students are divided and shared EQUALLY but we know that doesn't happen. I don't even have the same students from the beginning of the year to the end of the year due to turnover in the classroom. They seem to come and go like a revolving door.
Bravo to Cathleen Richardson for articulating so well reasons adults need to stop fighting and start embracing the tools that students love and can use to learn in engaging ways with little or no cost to the school system. I use cell phones for learning all the time, in fact a week never goes by that I don't use my cell phone with Poll Everywhere, Flickr, Twitter, Cha Cha, iPadio, or Memo for notes which I explain on my blog at http://fb.me/CcbQqdhQ . There are teachers around the world who get it and are successfully using cell phones for learning with their students. In fact the #1 most read post on my blog is from a half dozen educators who worked to break the ban on cell phones so they could use them for learning. Educators interested in doing the same can read how they did it at http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/2010/11/ten-building-blocks-to-break-ban-and.html . As more and more teachers share successes they're having using the tools many students already own, conversations will quickly move from should we use cells in education to how do we use them most effectively.

One thing that does irritate me is recruitment firms asking me to fill in their standardized form.
Is it worth the time doing the form when you just get lumped onto their database anyway until the right keywords match (months later sometimes)? Very rarely for the paygrade I'm in. When the rate goes up to £35/hr and more, then its totally worth it.
And unless its a job I really really want (like The World Food Program and/or another UN agency) I also think a covering letter has a very poor ROI. I will not send one to an agency.

Iraqi officials say a car bomb outside a restaurant in a primarily Shiite Muslim neighborhood in Baghdad has killed 10 and wounded 30.
The attack happened around sunset Thursday in the Shula neighborhood in northwestern Baghdad.
Police and hospital officials provided the casualty toll.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to provide the information to reporters.
The blast follows earlier bombings in and around the Iraqi capital that killed four people and wounded 16.
Violence in Iraq has fallen since the height of sectarian fighting in 2007 and 2007, but deadly attacks still happen frequently.

2009 Kia Sedona Problems
If the engine is excessively noisy on startup (after the engine has been off for several hours) and the noise lasts more than four or five seconds, turn off the engine and check for correct engine oil level. If the oil level is correct, the noise may be caused by the timing chain tensioner. Kia released an updated timing chain tensioner to solve this problem.
Reprogramming the transmission control module with the latest Kia transmission software may fix abnormalities in the automatic transmission and erroneous transmission-related Check Engine Light illumination. Software updates are commonly most effective on newer vehicles. Higher mileage vehicles may exhibit a similar symptom caused by a component failure. However, whenever major transmission repairs are performed the transmission software should be checked and updated as necessary.
If the stereo/CD player refuses to load, eject, or play CDs, remove the power supply (fuse) to the stereo for twenty seconds to reset the stereo's internal memory.
2009 Kia Sedona Questions
It says that the Cooing Fan Assembly is defaulted and/or the relays.
When tested it shows a OBD Code PO480.
the parts store can only pull up a tension pully and they look the same. are they interchangeable or are they different.
the idler pully is wore out and is making this high pitch screaming sound while its running and the faster you go the louder it gets
2009 Kia Sedona Recalls
Vehicles first sold or currently registered in areas where salt is used to de-ice the roads are being recalled because one or both front lower control arms may break due to excess corrosion. The lower control arm is part of the front suspension. If one were to break loss of vehicle control could occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the front lower control arms and will rustproof or replace them as necessary.

How surprising!
I can in fact see why Tom Fulp chose this as his favorite audio submission of all time! While it is very short, what matters is that it is very effective in its music. It seems like something that would be a ringtone, but it would be too ironic to use it as that. I also like the voices in this one, especially the "wa, wa, pick up the phone" that goes on sometimes. While I am hearing it over and over, it still does not sound repetitive to me. It is definitley something that gets you hooked in because of how crazy it is.

1/1 Photo of Pastel De Choclo (Beef Casserole With Corn Batter Topping)
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins
1 hr
The long list of ingredients is misleading because you probably have them on hand! Pastel de choclo in one form or another is popular throughout South America. It is especially popular in Chile, where it is often made with both beef and chicken. Sometimes sliced, hard-boiled eggs are added. Traditionally the pastel is baked in a large oval earthenware dish, or paila, or in several smaller bowls for individual servings. There is cornmeal added to this recipe because North American corn has a lot less starch and it is needed to make the batter properly. Enjoy!
