Texas de Brazil blends the steak-centric cuisine of Texas with the traditional churrasco method of slow-roasting meat over an open flame grill to form a luscious meaty mélange. The full dinner ($39.99) marches out a cavalcade of choice cuts, allowing diners to welcome continuous windfalls of flavorful proteins. Brandish your table's provided card, green on one side, red on the other, and it will function as a meat traffic light that summons servers to either send stacks of seasoned beef, pork, or lamb skewers or halt plate traffic like a decorated culinary crossing guard. Or feel free to substitute greens for the grill by stepping into the sprawling salad-bar conga line ($24.99), two-stepping through toothsome goodies such as imported cheeses, steamed asparagus, and dozens of other hors d'oeuvres.
Located on the second floor of the former Woman's Club of Madison building, Samba Brazilian Grill bursts at the seams with history and a generous salad-bar buffet and rodizio-style meats, carved tableside. The meat selection changes regularly but often features a beef such as tenderloin with sake-soy marinade, porkables including the intricately flavored spicy linguiça pork sausage, delicious chicken snacks, and the baharat leg of lamb. A waiter brings the protein-heavy entrees to the table intact before slicing away right before your eyes, expertly dropping steaming pieces onto plates and tucking napkins into shirts. The salad bar stocks its surfaces with multiple salads, fresh vegetables, cheeses, olives, pickled savories, and plenty of mashed- and bean-centric sides. The eatery possesses a darkly lit interior with rich, dark woods throughout.

Sample Menu
When to Go: Try to plan your dinner for a Friday night around 8 p.m. That's when musicians hit the adjoining Alley Cat Lounge stage, playing everything from oldies and jazz to modern rock and R&B.
Inside Tip: Show up hungry. All meals come with a salad, relish tray, and sourdough bread with butter and honey. A side of butter-sauteéd mushrooms also accompanies every steak.
Media Mentions: Over the years, 5 O'Clock has drawn national attention. The Travel Channel featured it on the program Steak Paradise, Saveur magazine named it one of the best steak houses in the country, and Travel + Leisure said it has a "Mad Men vibe."
Behind the Name: According to the restaurant's lore, the steak house got its name from an alarm clock that would ring every day at 5 p.m., alerting customers that it was time for a free drink.
While You're in the Neighborhood
Before: Tour the Tripoli Shrine Center (3000 W. Wisconsin Avenue), a replica of the Taj Mahal and a member of the National Register of Historic Places.
After: If the entertainment at the Alley Cat Lounge isn't to your taste, head over to The Coffee House (631 N. 19th Street), which offers acoustic music and poetry performances.
Showcased on the Travel Channel?s Food Paradise for its gargantuan cuts of prime rib, Ward?s House of Prime elevates plates with formidable servings of steak, veal, seafood, and pasta within an elegant, leather-tinged dining room. Chefs slice the signature prime rib in a spectrum of portion sizes ranging from modest 8-ounce morsels to The Al-Mighty Halaka's behemoth 160 ounces. Those who conquer these savory leviathans garner immortalization in Ward?s Hall of Fame, where caricatures of past protein vanquishers smile from behind their trusty steak knives. At the bar, an extensive wine list gilds glasses with varietals hailing from throughout the globe as drinksmiths craft a bevy of inventive cocktails. The dining room?s studded-leather seating flanks tables clad in white linens, and the outdoor patio?s umbrellas keep diners dry during worcestershire storms brought on by their steaks' gravitational forces.
Chubby's Cheesesteaks celebrates one of America's best-loved regional dishes with a menu full of Philly-style cheesesteak sandwiches that Chubby's chefs believe to be the best cheesesteaks west of Philadelphia. They chop up morsels of steak to order for creations ranging from a pizza cheesesteak with marinara and mozzarella to the classic Philly with peppers and Cheez Whiz, a cheese spread that could only be more American if it came with free baseball in every jar. In addition to hand-held feasts of warm, toasty rolls and succulent beef, cooks whip up chicken cheesesteaks, Italian beef sandwiches, fried fish dinners, gyros, burritos, and jumbo chili dogs.
Milwaukee ChopHouse's menu of succulent fare begins with ahi tuna tartare with avocado, wasabi, and sriracha ($12) and wagyu beef carpaccio in a white truffle oil with parmigiano reggiano and capers ($13)—both of which sharpen the palate for the main event: the ChopHouse's signature boneless 16-ounce strip steaks prepared au poivre ($35), crab Oscar-style ($42), blue-cheese crusted ($39), or with truffle butter ($39). The kitchen also turns out hot non-bovine entrees such as sautéed sea bass with sundried tomato and basil pesto ($32) and lobster tail ($51), a.k.a. mermaid steak.

U.S. earns No. 2 seed, will face winner of Czech Republic-Slovakia
BY MARK LAZERUS Staff Reporter February 16, 2014 9:29PM

SOCHI, Russia — Team Canada might not have had flow charts printed up, but the players knew the ramifications of overtime Sunday against Finland. A bye to the quarterfinals already had been clinched, but a victory meant the No. 3 seed. A loss meant the No. 4 seed — and a probable matchup with Russia in the quarterfinals.
So Drew Doughty's second goal (and fourth of the tourney) was a big one in Canada's 2-1 victory.
"At some point we're going to feel some pressure — I think tonight we did," Jonathan Toews said. "We felt some pressure late, and it could have gone either way. It's going to be the same way the next game and the game after that if we continue to survive."
Pool play is over, with Sweden taking the top seed, the United States at No. 2, Canada at No. 3 and Finland at No. 4, with Russia forced to play 12th-seeded Norway for finishing fifth. The top four seeds all get byes to the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Now every game is an elimination game.
"It's do-or-die time now," American winger Patrick Kane said. "This is where the fun begins."
The United States will draw the winner of Tuesday's Czech Republic-Slovakia game. Canada will face the winner of Switzerland-Latvia. Sweden, Finland and Russia are on the other side of the bracket, meaning if the United States and Canada meet, it'll be in the semifinals. And if there's a U.S.-Russia rematch, it will be for the gold or bronze medal.

An old staple on McKinney Street, the former McGuire Insurance building, is getting a new lease on life. Patti and Kevin Meguire are restoring the building.
The couple, along with their kids Travis and Jessica, are working to renovate the 100-year-old building into office space for possible tenants. "We love the building. It's so pretty," Patti said. "It just needs some lovin' and some TLC."
The Meguires, who have lived in Farmersville for several years, have kept an eye on the building for a long time, hoping that one day they would be able to purchase it. "I guess it was just meant to be," Kevin said. The irony of the building being known as the McGuire Insurance Building to many people around town was not lost on the family.
"We spell ours right though," Patti said, laughing. Restoring the building is by no means an easy task since the family is trying to bring back the wood featured throughout the structure – wood was covered with paneling in the '70s and carpeted over in the '80s. The intention for the building is to develop a structure for new business owners who want to rent an office space that will house Internet service and conference rooms. "We're planning on renovating the structure in the back as a conference room which can be rented by the hour," Patti said.

f you don't like lemongrass. I doubt you like this tea. As majority of this tea is lemongrass. I found the name "Orange Blossom" kinda misleading. This tea also has lemon myrtle, and natural tropical citrus flavor. This is indeed citrus tasting, and there are some Green Tea at the background. Pretty much the only way to tell that this tea actually has green tea, is due bitterness that comes with too long steep time. I expected the taste to be more refreshing. Maybe I had my hopes too high. Rishi Tea is packed in a tin can with inner cap that helps to preserve tea better.

Moderate epistemic expressivism

The present paper argues that there are at least two equally plausible yet mutually incompatible answers to the question of what is of non-instrumental epistemic value. The hypothesis invoked to explain how this can be so—moderate epistemic expressivism—holds that (a) claims about epistemic value express nothing but commitments to particular goals of inquiry, and (b) there are at least two viable conceptions of those goals. It is shown that such expressivism survives recent arguments against a more radical form of epistemic expressivism, as well as two further arguments, framed in terms of the two most promising attempts to ground claims about epistemic value in something other than commitments to particular conceptions of inquiry. While this does not establish that moderate epistemic expressivism is true, its ability to explain a significant but puzzling axiological datum, as well as withstand strong counterarguments, makes clear that it is a theory to be reckoned with.

Recently, I wrote about using Varnish Cache to speed up websites. However, not all websites appear identically on all devices. For example, many web applications will deliver different content to mobile devices such as phones, tablets, screen-readers, etc. What happens when Varnish receives a request for a resource from one of these devices? Without additional configuration, Varnish will return the only version of a resource that it has cached for a particular URL — regardless of its appropriateness for the device performing the request. This can be problematic. For example, if a mobile phone performs the first request for a resource, the request may return specific mobile content, and Varnish will likely cache it.

Keep On Truckin'Posted by: | Comments
Why does the ice cream man have the market cornered on driving trucks around the neighborhood, selling his wares?
Think about his clientele—six-year-olds, who aren't exactly loaded. How much disposable income does a first grader have?
This may seem like a strange time to bring this up, because we're hardly in ice cream truck season, but I say this is the perfect time to discuss this.
With ice cream no longer a viable purchase option at your curb, why not consider other items that a grown up would run out of his/her house to snatch up?
Liquor, for one.
Can you imagine if there was a liquor truck that cruised the neighborhoods? The driver would make a mint. Adults would be lined up down the street as far as the eye could see.
The possibilities are endless.
How nice would it be if you could purchase an apple pie from a truck in front of your home? Or a dozen doughnuts?
The items for sale wouldn't have to be limited to food stuffs.
I'd have killed at times to be able to buy batteries off a truck. I would have been forever grateful if a Tylenol truck drove by, ringing its bell.
I wonder why ice cream became the item of choice when it came to retail trucks rolling down a neighborhood street.
The ice cream truck was one of the few American creations that never really spawned any offshoots.
Despite the popularity of selling ice cream from a truck, catering to grade school kids who don't have any money, no entrepreneur ever considered marketing toward adults (who actually have cash) with items that don't even need to be frozen.
I think an enterprising person could make a killing driving around residential areas the day before Valentines Day, selling greeting cards, chocolate and flowers. Or even a birthday card truck, because birthdays happen every day, and every day people forget to buy a card.
Following behind could be a postage stamp truck.
Smile! (Or not)Posted by: | Comments
Allen Funt created television's Candid Camera. But he was not the star.
If Funt were alive today, he would concur.
Funt, who took the idea of a roving microphone capturing unguarded moments from the days of radio and turned it into a TV phenomenon, also never liked the notion that his show made fools out of unsuspecting people.
Funt preferred to think that Candid Camera was more of a series of case studies on human behavior, rather than a gag-filled half-hour.
Regardless, the star wasn't Funt, though he hosted the in-studio segments and often appeared during the hidden camera "case studies."
The stars of Candid Camera were always the people—the folks whose behavior was being chronicled in a very unfiltered and unscripted way.
Therefore, the laughs that resulted were always from the audience's glee at the reactions of the unwitting, caught by Funt's hidden camera.
But that was then.
TV Land has trotted out a new version of Candid Camera, hosted by Funt's son, Peter, and actor Mayim Bialik.
As in Allen Funt's original version, the hosts in the studio don't matter. Not that the younger Funt and Bialik do a poor job (they don't), but they aren't the stars.
The new version, however, falls flat.
It's not the fault of Funt and Bialik. It's the fault of the people. And that's not even fair, really.
The charm of the original Candid Camera was not only watching normal people in abnormal situations, it was in the reveal—that moment when Funt, et al would finally let the unsuspecting in on the joke.
"You're on Candid Camera!"
But back in the original show's days, there weren't cameras all over the place. There weren't cell phones and tablets and the like, all equipped with cameras that could be whipped out at a moment's notice, ready to capture just about anything the possessor wished to capture, newsworthy or not.
Today, people aren't stunned or shocked by the presence of a camera, even if they didn't know one was trained on them for a case study.
So the reaction to the reveal in the new version is, well, muted.
And a muted reaction isn't very entertaining to the TV viewers.
Now, that might not be so bad if the situations the people are placed in made up for the less-than-spectacular reveal reactions.
But they don't.
Candid Camera debuted in 1948 and there have been a few relaunches along the way. So we're talking 66 years, essentially, of the show's existence. That's a long time and it's hard to come up with fresh new stuff.
Allen Funt, back when this notion still had the power to amaze
But again, the society in which we live makes it awfully difficult for us to be flabbergasted anymore by what we see going on in front of our eyes.
Whether it's a soap dispenser at a market that doesn't stop dispensing or a retail outlet that charges a $10 fee to shop in the store as opposed to online (both used in the new version), does anything really surprise us anymore?
The charm of Candid Camera was rooted in two certainties that existed decades ago that simply don't anymore—a much more impressionable public and a genuine amazement that a hidden camera could be set up. The people were video virgins, so to speak.
Today's society is far less impressionable and there are cameraseverywhere anymore. In fact, it seems like we are all on camera more than we aren't, when you add security cameras and the like into the mix.
I think it would be more of a surprise if the revealing person shouted, "You're NOT on camera now!"
Still, I give TV Land credit for trying to appeal to those of us who remember when an evening with Allen Funt and company was truly a special event. The situations were comical, the reactions were priceless and the reveals were the cherry on top.
However—and it's not TV Land's fault—today's society is just so damned hard to amaze and impress. And we are certainly not aghast at the notion of a camera lens shooting us through a hole in a wall.
The result is that watching the new Candid Camera is like dusting off an old Jack-in-the-Box and failing to be stunned by the clown popping out—while being wistful of the days when it did.
Editor's note: The following e-mail arrived from none other than Peter Funt himself, who saw this post, on October 1, 2014:
Funny thing about the "original." There's no bigger fan of my Dad's work than me, and I never suggest that my stuff is as good as his was at his prime. However, I find that our memories have a way of distorting and condensing and selecting from the past. I think what you and some other viewers are, in effect, saying is: When I recall the handful of fabulous reveals that Allen got over decades – perhaps seen in highlights or "best of" packages – they're better than what Peter gets week in and week out. How true!
Avoidable Tragedy the Worst KindPosted by: | Comments
In a perfect world, Derek Flemming would have been able to march up to the driver of a car that cut him off, express some anger, and get back into his own vehicle—without fear of losing his life.
The 43 year-old husband and father of two young children would have vented his anger and frustration and still lived to re-tell the story to friends, co-workers and family at every opportunity.
We do that a lot, you know—turn storyteller when we are wronged, whether it's from poor service at a restaurant to being incredulous at a retailer's return policy, among other things.
But then we get it out of our system and we move on, until someone else relates a story that fires your mental file cabinet into gear and your story gets retold yet again.
But Flemming paid the ultimate price in an act that unfortunately will have people—like yours truly—getting into "blame the victim" mode.
Flemming was gunned down at a traffic light near Howell after he allegedly complained to a driver who cut him off in traffic and who was—again, allegedly—driving recklessly. The 69 year-old man had stopped in front of Flemming's vehicle at the light. Flemming exited his vehicle and said something like, according to his wife, who was in the car with her husband, "What's your problem?"
Then Flemming was shot dead by the older driver.
I know we don't live in a perfect world. If we did, my knee jerk reaction wouldn't have been (as it was when I read of the tragic story), "Ooh…you shouldn't have gotten out of your car."
We have all been cut off in traffic. We have all been frustrated by rudeness in public. And we have all fantasized about what we would like to have done or said, if only we had thought about those reactions at the time.
You have no idea how many fictional, imagined conversations or actions I have wistfully thought of in my head in response to surliness, idiocy and the like. Usually I think of those responses when it's way too late.
Maybe that's a good thing.
Certainly Flemming, who was on his way to pick up his kids after their first day of school, would have made it to his children and would have had dinner with them that night, if he had only checked himself before exiting his vehicle.
You can call that blaming the victim all you like. You can say that a man should be able to stand up for himself. You can say that rude, reckless drivers deserve to be confronted.
You can say that Derek Flemming shouldn't have been expecting the confronted driver to have a gun so readily available and with the demented mindset to use it at a drop of a hat.
All true.
But would you rather be right, confrontational and dead, or grumble to yourself—and your wife—and live?
People gather near the area where Derek Flemming was gunned down on Tuesday
It's sad that this is the subconscious choice that we are now forced to make in this dangerous, violent world. Maybe it's not so subconscious.
So the rude and the reckless and the surly get a free pass? Not necessarily. There are other ways to throw the karma back into their court.
In Flemming's case, there is a device called a cell phone. And it accepts emergency numbers.
I walk our dog every evening and in the 10 years that I have been doing so, I have called the police some six or seven times. The reasons range from chickens appearing at a strip mall (true story) to a drunk man passed out on a sidewalk to high suspicions of domestic violence taking place at a private residence.
I call the authorities, calmly describe the situation and let the cops do their thing.
And I live to tell about it, which I have, several times.
Should Derek Flemming have gotten out of his vehicle and confronted a dangerous, reckless, rude driver? Or should he have dialed 911 and reported the reckless driver? Flemming was situated behind the older man, so a license plate number could have easily been reported as well.
This isn't second-guessing. It's not a case of hindsight being 20/20.
We live in a world where people simply aren't to be trifled with on many occasions. No one knows who's packing heat these days. Worse, no one knows the mental stability of those who are armed.
Did the 69 year-old driver feel threatened by the unarmed Flemming, who approached the older man's vehicle clearly in anger, according to witnesses?
Playing Devil's Advocate, you can say that the older man didn't know if Flemming was armed or not. Just because Flemming didn't approach with a gun drawn doesn't mean he wasn't carrying concealed.
Maybe the older driver panicked.
Regardless, Derek Flemming is dead. And he doesn't have to be.
His epitaph, of course, ought not to read "He shouldn't have gotten out of his car." Flemming was a husband and a dad, and the owner of his own landscaping business. He was much more than a man who made a split-second decision that ultimately cost him his life.
As if we need yet another reminder that things are rough out there.
Caldwell a Pioneer of Sorts in Detroit, But Winning Is All That Will MatterPosted by: | Comments
The National Football League's roots in the 1920s were planted in sleepy burgs across the Midwest. It was a small town league, offering the curious something to follow until the next baseball season.
The franchises were located in such dazzling metropolises as Canton, OH; Racine, WI; Akron, OH; and Rock Island, IL. The locations were fitting, when you consider that the league itself was founded in an automobile showroom in Canton, on August 20, 1920.
In 1921, the Akron franchise (the Pros) was one of several which had one of its players double up as the coach.
Fritz Pollard, who stood 5'9″ and who was listed as weighing all of 165 pounds, coached the Pros. Mainly a running back, Pollard's tremendous speed and elusiveness as a player caused legendary sportswriter Walter Camp to remark that Pollard was "one of the greatest runners these eyes have ever seen."
Pollard coached Akron in 1921—the league was known as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) back then—to an impressive 8-3-1 record, all while maintaining his roster spot as a running back, scoring seven touchdowns on the season.
But Fritz Pollard wasn't just any coach in the APFA—he was the only African-American one in the league.
Pollard lasted just one season as a coach, and in 1926 he was dismissed as a player as well, when the NFL (name changed in 1922) booted Pollard and the other eight black players at the time out of the league, permanently.
Pollard wasn't just a footnote in pro football history. After being kicked out of the NFL, Pollard organized all-black barnstorming teams, playing under names such as the Harlem Brown Bombers. This barnstorming continued into the 1930s.
The NFL didn't go the black head coaching route again until 68 years after Pollard coached the Akron Pros, when Art Shell became coach of the Los Angeles Raiders in 1989.
While Fritz Pollard should be lauded for his stature as a league pioneer, it would be disingenuous to say that he paved the way for Shell to coach the Raiders. Nearly seven decades kind of dilutes Pollard's participation toward Shell's hiring.
But Shell, who played for the Raiders to the tune of a Hall of Fame career as an offensive tackle, is rightly recognized as the modern game's first black head coach, and thus was indeed a trail blazer of sorts for those of color who followed him on the sidelines over the past 25 years.
The Lions' Jim Caldwell is one who should give a nod of appreciation to Shell—and, maybe more so, to late Raiders managing general partner Al Davis, who hired Shell after firing Mike Shanahan.
It took the Lions a little bit longer than some franchises—but quicker than others—to hire an African-American head coach. Caldwell became the first on January 15, 2014.
Many Lions fans, if they had their druthers in January, envisioned Ken Whisenhunt as the one who would open training camp on Monday in Allen Park. Whisenhunt, who is white, was seen as the Lions' first choice after firing Jim Schwartz.
But Whisenhunt spurned the Lions and never got on the private plane that was famously waiting for him in San Diego, ready to jet the Chargers' offensive coordinator across the country where he would, presumably, get a contract offer in Detroit.
I am not, for a moment, suggesting that the popularity of Whisenhunt over Caldwell, in the fans' eyes, had anything to do with race. For whatever reason, Whisenhunt's resume excited the Lions fan base more than did Caldwell's.
Frankly, the fact that Caldwell is the Lions' first black head coach kind of slipped my mind until it was brought to the fore on Saturday, when the coach was honored by the Detroit Historical Society's Black Historic Sites Committee for the distinction.
The celebration of Caldwell's status was nice, but it was low-key and it should have been. For despite the fact that Caldwell is the Lions' first black head coach, thankfully those of Caldwell's ilk aren't a novelty anymore in the NFL.
Not that the league couldn't do a little better in that regard, as Caldwell pointed out on Saturday, but in his usual classy way.
"It's (black head coaches) come a long way because of the fact that I think now there might have been 47 (African-American coaches) that have gotten that opportunity (in NCAA Division I football), if I'm not mistaken," Caldwell told the Detroit Free Press.
"And in the National Football League there's 17, I think, that have gotten that opportunity, even some of those that have been interim. So there's been quite a few guys.
"I think it's changed quite a bit in my lifetime. You can see some progress in that area, but certainly a long way to go."
The Lions are the only team in the NFL with a black head coach and a black general manager, something that has happened just once prior in league history. That, too, should be celebrated, but not without some concern.
The NFL has always been a little slow on the uptake when it comes to minorities holding positions of power and influence, though progress is indeed being made.
But I don't believe the fans in Detroit care if the football coach is white, black, blue or purple. The Lions haven't won a league championship in 57 years. To give that perspective, remember when the Red Wings finally ended their Stanley Cup drought in 1997? That was a mere 42 years between Cups at the time.
Caldwell was not quite three years old when the Lions beat the Cleveland Browns to capture the 1957 NFL championship.
Now he is set to open his first training camp as the first black head coach in Lions history—and the team still hasn't won it all since '57.
Jim Caldwell was properly honored on Saturday night, but that distinction should lose its luster pronto. The Lions were hardly on the cusp in this regard, as Caldwell followed Shell in Oakland by a quarter century.
Since Shell in 1989, the Lions have gone through eight head coaches before hiring Caldwell (including interim coaches). Three of those guys were assistants who'd never been a head coach in the NFL prior to Detroit—hired when there were eminently more qualified black men available at the time.
But that's all ancient history now, right?
Caldwell's being black won't shield him from criticism when the Lions falter, and it won't help give him accolades when times are good.
He will be judged solely on his win/loss record.
I think even Fritz Pollard would agree with that notion.
Utash: We Can Only HopePosted by: | Comments
Sometimes the 24-hour news cycle gets extended.
Sometimes it's a 48-hour or 72-hour news cycle. And, on occasion, a story manages to stay in the public's consciousness for a week or more.
News stories anymore are like pieces of pasta thrown against the wall. Only some stick.
The Stephen Utash beating has beat the 24-hour news cycle, by far. Now the question is, Will it matter?
The Utash story is right out of a novel or a made-for-TV movie.
White suburbanite hits a young black boy with his pickup truck, in the city. The suburbanite stops to check on the condition of the boy and is then beaten senseless, perhaps to death (that's a part of the story that has yet to be resolved), by a mob of black men.
It's a story that almost had to happen, to provide the most recent litmus test of where we are as a society, particularly when it comes to violence and race relations.
The elements are all there, and if they weren't, the story wouldn't work as well. It would be a flawed test.
The driver was white, the hit boy was black. That's the only way this can work. Any other combo would either not tell us anything we don't already suspect, or it would be less newsworthy.
The white man is beaten by a mob of black men. Again, reverse it, and it's just another example of what so many people already suspect, and what so many other people vigorously try to defend.
The person who intervened and got the mob to stop beating the white man was a black female nurse. Author, author!
The white man lies in a medically-induced coma as the suspects are rounded up. Score another for the fiction writer.
Oh, and whites and blacks come together in churches around town and try to pray the violence away. Money is being raised for the white man's medical bills. Not bad, not bad at all.
And Detroiters did it all by themselves. They didn't need anyone to zoom into town to rally the troops.
The author did a bang up job on this one.
Ah, but it's all true.
Steve Utash
The Utash beating has a shot—an actual, legitimate shot—at bringing white and black folks together in an effort to take a collective look in the proverbial mirror.
Thankfully, the words "vigilante justice" have been rinsed off this story, revealing it to be what it really is—senseless, animal-like violence that wasn't advocating for anyone or anything, other than an opportunity to take something out on a poor man. A chance to get your licks in, for whatever reason.
Unlike others, though, I'm not convinced that the mob saw a white man and decided to go to town. Maybe we will never know for sure. Maybe the five (so far) suspects that have been arrested—four have been arraigned—will start chirping, even against each other. Maybe a motive will trickle out.
Maybe had the driver been black, he would have been beaten, too—once identified as the man who hit the boy. Again, we may never know. But we may, eventually.
The fact that no one in the beating mob—according to witnesses' recounting of the incident—appeared to show any concern for the boy's physical condition before they started whaling on Utash, is the most damning piece of this horrible crime.
And that's why the vigilante label doesn't fit and has been ripped off, rightly so.
You can't have vigilante justice if you don't know what the heck you're justifying.
The facts, of course, weren't all in when the mob sprang into action. They didn't know—or didn't care—that the child stepped off the curb into oncoming traffic. The boy was 10 years old—certainly old enough to know not to step into the street without looking both ways.
But that's another discussion entirely.
It's terrible, but often it takes something terrible to finally drum something into people's heads.
We can only hope that Steve Utash—and let's hope he survives and regains his wits—evolves into a turning point of sorts. He will not only be a man but a landmark.
Then again, the beating of Vincent Chin didn't necessarily change anything.
But that's the thing about hope. You're willing to throw the history books out the window and say, "Maybe THIS time."
Maybe this time.
Sugar, Spice and Puppy Dog TailsPosted by: | Comments
Timberlake Christian School (TCS) in western Virginia buried the lead in their letter to the guardian of eight-year-old Sunnie Kahle. The last sentence was the most true and the most telling.
"We believe that unless Sunnie as well as her family clearly understand that God has made her female and her dress and behavior need to follow suit with her God-ordained indentity, that TCS is not the best place for her future education."
No kidding, it's not the best place for Sunnie's future education.
Like, I'd pull that child out of there yesterday.
Sunnie is an eight-year-old girl, but by her own admission and her grandmother's (Sunnie's legal guardian) own acknowledgement, Sunnie likes a lot of "boy stuff"—such as autographed baseballs and hunting knives, according to CBS-TV affiliate WDBJ.
But Sunnie also digs jewelry and stuffed animals, too.
"It's fun," Sunnie says of her varied interests—some of which don't seem to fit TCS' characterization of what a little girl should be.
Hence the letter, apparently quoting school policy, sent to Sunnie's grandmother, Doris Thompson.
The letter began ominously.
"You're probably aware that Timberlake Christian School is a religious, Bible believing institution providing education in a distinctly Christian environment," the letter started, and nothing good usually follows a sentence such as that in a letter sent home from school.
And, nothing good did.
|Sunnie Kahle
Why is it, that supposedly Christian entities—organizations based on ideals that are supposed to espouse and embrace inclusion rather than exclusion—seem to be the least tolerant?
And, from an educational standpoint, what happened to encouraging children to broaden their horizons and open up their worlds a little bit?
So an eight-year-old girl is sometimes confused for being a boy, as Sunnie told WDBJ. Is that the worst thing in the world?
For their part, school administrators told ABC 27 that they have not accused Sunnie of any wrongdoing; they just want the family to follow all guidelines set for students.
Good thing that the TCS folks are educators, because they certainly think we're all pretty stupid.
"Sunnie realizes she's a female but she wants to do boy things," Thompson told WDBJ.
How ironic that TCS is discouraging that, because it seems like a pretty damn good life lesson to me—that girls can do "boy things."
I mean, heaven forbid Sunnie grows up to be a CEO or a soldier or a fireman or something.
More Progress = Nothing is easyPosted by: | Comments
A few weeks ago, hurried and on my lunch break, I stepped into the Barnes and Noble bookstore in downtown Royal Oak. My goal was simple: purchase a newspaper.
Every Friday I cash my paycheck in Royal Oak and then take in lunch somewhere in town. But I'm one of these people who can't eat alone if I don't have something to read. Hence the newspaper.
My usual provider, the gas station by the bank, was out of papers, so I remembered B&N.
The bank took longer than usual, so the sands in the hourglass were dwindling. But hey, it's only a newspaper, right?
The newspapers at B&N are located behind the cashier's counter. They're not self-serve.
So first I had to wait for a cashier, which knocked off precious seconds from my meal time. But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part came when I voiced my request.
"Detroit News," please, I said to the college-aged cashier.
He retrieved it. I had my dollar ready, eager to pay, leave, and look for sustenance to jam down my throat.
He needed to scan the newspaper, and that took a few tries before it beeped.
"Are you a Rewards member?" he asked.
No, I am not, I told him, as I jabbed the dollar toward him.
"E-mail please?" he asked.
My jaw dropped.
"For a newspaper?"
He gave me a sheepish look. "I just want to see if you're in the system."
Again, I said, "For a newspaper?" although with much more irritation in my voice.
By this time I sort of tossed the dollar toward him. But he still clutched my newspaper, holding it hostage.
He could see that I was not a happy camper—my annoyance was hardly subtle—and he looked at his co-worker, as if unsure of what to do with a man who just wanted to buy a newspaper and who wasn't a Rewards member and who didn't want to provide his e-mail address in order to purchase said newspaper.
I had had enough.
"I'm in a hurry. Can I just please have my newspaper?" I said.
Finally he relinquished it.
Now, this entire exchange obviously took less time than it did for you to read about it, but when you're in a hurry and all you want to do is buy a newspaper for one dollar and you can't do it without being asked about memberships and e-mails, your stomach grumbling, each second translates to ten times its length.
Thankfully, my normal newspaper provider (gas station) hasn't run out of papers since. And if they do, I'll be damned if I wander into B&N to purchase one. I'll do without, or try to find a box dispenser.
I love the gas station, by the way. I grab a paper, give the attendant a dollar, and walk away. If there is someone ahead of me in line who is buying cigarettes or lottery tickets (don't get me started), I just put the dollar on the counter, wave my newspaper so it is seen, then walk away. The attendant has my back.
At the gas station they don't need to scan the paper. At the gas station they don't ask me any questions. All they do is take my dollar and tell me to have a nice day. I love the gas station.
But this inconvenience, such as displayed at B&N, is happening all over. The ability to make simple purchases without being asked to present membership cards or provide phone numbers and e-mail addresses is slipping away from us. K-mart asks if you want a paper receipt or one e-mailed to you—even if all you're buying is a gallon of milk. And the answer you give can't be verbal—it has to be registered on their debit card thingy.
But hey, this is progress, right?
New Year's RevolutionsPosted by: | Comments
Happy New Year. Or happy new year, however you choose to look at it.
As I watched the big ball drop on Tuesday night in Times Square, I jokingly asked my daughter what life would be like if we did that for the change of every month instead of year.
"Three…two….one….HAPPY APRIL!"
Seems silly, of course.
But so does, when you think about it, going through all the expense and effort to mark the start of a new year. Or New Year.
It's perhaps too cynical—even for me—to say that January 1 is "just another day," but it truly is. It is different, however, in one respect: It's the one day when no one has ditched their new year's (or New Year's) resolutions—yet.
Ahh, about those resolutions.
There's a funny commercial playing on TV right now where a small boy calls it the New Year's "revolutions."
I kind of like that.
You do have to revolt, in a way, if you're going to commit to doing something different from how you've been doing it, which is essentially what a resolution is.
The revolt is internal. A civil war going on inside your body and brain.
The little dudes inside your head have to declare that there is a revolution, and then they have to start symbolically dumping tea into the harbor, i.e. those bad ways you are trying to get rid of.
A new year's revolution.
I don't do resolutions—or revolutions—per se. I make mental notes to change and then hope for the best.
Not working out too good for me, but there you go.
I don't do anything involving weight. I'd like to drop a few pounds, like anyone else. But I don't do any numbers crunching or obsess with the scale in the basement. Notice I said basement.
I don't resolve to change my eating habits, which goes along with the above. My wife is Italian and Polish. I get what I get, and I scarf it down happily. If I lose weight because of diet, it's akin to finding a dollar bill in the laundry.
I don't make any commitments professionally. I don't set out to write X-number of blog posts or set any goals at work. That may sound lazy and uninspired and displays a shocking lack of motivation, but I figure, why set myself up for failure?
In short, my revolutions internally are weak and quickly squashed. I'm the Bay of Pigs of self-improvement.
Now, this doesn't mean that I don't want to be a success and that I don't care about my body or that I have indifferent feelings toward my fellow man.
It just means that when all is said and done, the status quo is OK. I'll continue to help out my wife around the house, put in my 40 hours at work and be as good of a dad as I can be. I'll say my prayers at night and make it a point to perform a random act of kindness now and again.
Wherever that leads me, so be it.
Happy N(n)ew Y(y)ear!
Late FreezePosted by: | Comments
How long before video stores go the way of travel agencies?
Remember the local travel agent? They'd advertise on local TV and they had tiny offices with globes on the signs and maps on the walls. You'd ring them up if you wanted a surrogate to get you the best deal on a hotel in Chicago or a rental car in Boston.
Then the Internet struck, with its multitude of websites, and the American traveler became his or her own travel agent. The middle man, as so often has happened after the Internet, was cut out, like a tumor.
Why pay someone to do something that we could do for free, and still get discounts to boot?
So I wonder about the fate of the corner video store.
Actually, you may have to drive past quite a few corners before you find a video store these days.
NetFlix, the Red Box kiosks, the Internet (of course) and more people owning BluRay discs than DVDs, are all contributing to the slow death of the local video store, I'm afraid.
But some of it is the video store's own doing.
Take late fees. Please.
One of the allures to the above alternatives to renting movies is that none of them will charge you a late fee. And late fees, if we're just talking between us, is surely a big revenue gainer in the video rental business.
One of the reasons why late fees are so common is that the due dates for the movies are all over the map.
This one's due in two days. That one's due in three days. You have a full week on that other one. Oops, better get THIS one back TOMORROW. Or else.
We used to run a late fee balance at one of the local stores like a drunk would a bar tab.
Even asking for a printout of the due dates, which the store gladly provided, didn't always prevent Video A, B or C frome being brought back tardy.
But here's the deal: video stores must be feeling the heat from their competitors. So why not back off on the late fees? And I have just the idea to make that happen, and make the video store more attractive.
If I ran a video store, I'd advertise that every movie in the joint, from A to Z, was a one-week rental. Every single one.
Doesn't matter if it's a "new release." Doesn't matter if it came out on Tuesday, or 12 years ago. Every one of my films, you can have for a week.
Simple. Easy to remember.
Will people still be tardy, even under that arrangement? Sure. But that's on them.
I'd even call my place One Week Video. Seriously.
Think of it. You come in, browse, grab a bunch of movies, pay me and know that everything is due one week from today. Simple. No muss, no fuss.
I'd even have seven different types of bags, each with a day of the week on it. You come in on a Monday, you get a Monday Bag. And so on.
"Honey, when are these movies due back?"
"What does the bag say?"
Of course, you go beyond the seven-day limit, and we have a problem. But I won't tag you for very much. Promise.
It's an idea that makes far too much sense, which is why it won't be adopted.
Which is part of why the video store will join the travel agent, the drive-in movie and mini-golf in the Dungeon of the Forgotten.
Sooner, rather than later.
Let's Get SeriousPosted by: | Comments
It's another of the talking points pushed by the gun camp, symbolically accompanied by the throwing up of hands in the air.
"If you ban guns, only criminals will have guns."
First, I am not in favor of banning guns. I fully believe in the Second Amendment to the degree that folks should have the right to protect their castles—even if deadly force is required.
I do, however, believe that reasonable, responsible gun owners can darn well protect themselves—and their homes and their families—with weapons that aren't designed to mow dozens of people down in minutes.
But here's the thing. These mass shootings that are being committed nowadays aren't being committed by criminals. In fact, many times the perpetrator has no previous criminal record. Not even a parking ticket.
Like Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old monster who shot up Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT.
Lanza had no criminal record.
Neither did the shooter in the recent mall incident in Oregon. Same with the Aurora, CO theater shooter last summer.
The kids who committed the atrocities at Columbine weren't criminals, either. Nor was the perp in the Virginia Tech massacre.
Loners? Yes. Troubled? Definitely. But not criminals.
Criminals aren't committing mass shootings. Armed criminals typically rob or steal. Or trade on the black market. If they stockpile artillery, it's to sell. They don't acquire automatic weapons so they can shoot up a mall, a school or a movie theater.
Those are facts.
The folks who are arming themselves to the hilt, throwing on military-style vests and camouflage gear, aren't criminals. They're suffering from mental illness.
Until we start treating root causes rather than symptoms, we're going nowhere in the effort to try to make what happened in Connecticut on Friday a once-in-a-lifetime tragedy.
It's time to start educating about mental illness, which is still, in the 21st century no less, terribly misunderstood.
Look no further than the reports that Lanza may have been autistic, or afflicted with Asperger's Syndrome.
Adam Lanza
Neither has ever been directly connected to violent behavior of any serious degree. Yet you just know that there is a segment of the population that will take the autism and Asperger's thing and run with it. And you know that those afflicted with said disorders will now be looked at sideways.
There is so much we don't know about mental illness. I'd say we'd better start getting a handle on it, because it ain't going away.
If there is any common ground I can find with those on even the most extreme side of pro-guns, it's that people are ultimately responsible for their actions. The gun provides them with the means of destruction, but not every gun owner commits mass shootings, so that should be a clue right there.
Lanza's mother, Nancy, who was gunned down first last Friday, has been taking some posthumous heat for her decision to have guns of the magnitude that was used by her son, in the first place.
But even his own mother clearly didn't understand the scope of Adam Lanza's troubled state.
This is a time for experts in many arenas to sit down, together, and start hashing some stuff out. To do whatever we can to prevent another atrocity like Newtown from happening again is going to require serious, honest discussion from everyone across the gun, mental illness and law enforcement spectrum.
You're afraid that only criminals will have access to guns?
It's not working too well when the non-criminals get a hold of them, either.

Mike Wyllie's new product is called Tempe, a spray on medication that has been deemed safe and effective by the European Medicines Agency and is expected to hit the market place early next year. Premature ejaculation is a problem that apparently affects at least one in four men. That means when you're watching the game with your buddies, take a look around. Somebody's leaving town early. That being said, in clinical trials, men who used the spray lasted about five times longer. Dr Wyllie, formerly of Pfizer and now Plethora Solutions, said: "Premature ejaculation doesn't just make the patient feel bad. It does affect the partner and can completely destroy relationships. I feel this could save relationships." As of now there is just one pill designed to take on this problem but it is costly and not widely available in the UK. Tempe's ingredients include low doses of two anesthetics designed to give a man more control. It takes about five minutes to kick in and can be sprayed on up to two hours before sex. One pocket-sized can has the potential to last an entire year if the man is having sex five or six times a month (in which case that man is my hero) Too good to be true? Some who tested Tempe did experience side effects including burning sensations and headaches. Not to mention that some believe the spray is a quick fix which may prevent couples from examining relationship issues that might be contributing to the problem. Strangely enough, the article did not mention where to apply the spray.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Authorities say a 23-year-old student from Portugal had just finished playing a round of golf before he was killed in a car crash.
U-T San Diego reports (http://bit.ly/11kvpzY ) Joao Rocadas was driving a convertible Thursday evening when his car veered over the center median, into oncoming traffic.
Sheriff's Sgt. Anthony O'Boyle says the car hit two trucks and Rocadas died at the scene.
One of the other drivers was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and three others were treated scene.
Rocadas was one of 12 international students in the 230-student program at the Golf Academy of America in Carlsbad. The program's 16-month course teaches about careers in the golf industry.
Campus Director Richard Iorio says Rocadas was well-liked though he'd only been at the school a short time.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- There's been a data breach at a number of Supervalu grocery stores, as well as at some of its stand-alone liquor shops.
The company said Friday that hackers accessed a network that processes store transactions. Account numbers, expiration dates, cardholders' names and other information may have been stolen.
Stores in Minnesota, Virginia, Illinois, Maryland and Missouri may have been affected.
The cards from which data may have been stolen were used at 180 Supervalu stores, 29 Cub Foods stores and some liquor stores between June 22 and July 17.
Supervalu Inc. says that it hasn't determined if any such cardholder data was actually stolen and that there's no evidence of the data being misused, but that it was announcing the data breach out of "an abundance of caution."

Jana Laiz's Weeping Under This Same Moon (Crow Flies Press), a fictionalized account of a true story, follows two teenage girls whose lives seem as different as they are distant. Ethnic Chinese Mei must sacrifice the comforts and familiarity of home to lead two of her younger siblings away from the dangers of a post-war, anti-Chinese Vietnam. Their journey takes them on a treacherous boat ride and through a desolate refugee camp. In the suburbs of the United States, Hannah, a passionate 17-year-old who is unappealingly self-righteous in the way that only a self-pitying, outcast teenager can be, must negotiate the trials of high school. As the narrative tumbles toward their inevitable meeting, parallels begin to emerge. Mei channels her creativity into watercolors, while Hannah finds hers behind the lens of a camera. They both try to keep their younger siblings safe in spite of their own fears of the wider world. In the end, this young-adult novel reveals not only the story of Vietnam's "boat people" but the importance of family, passion, and community service, not only for the recipient but (and often more so) for the volunteer as well.

Stringing higher tension to settle at desired tension

Reference tension set on the machine and string tension on the completed racket are related, but rarely the same. In most cases, if you ask for 56 pounds, the stringer will set that on the machine. Depending on the person, the method, and the string, the finished string tension will vary from that, dropping slowly over time. The 56 pounds you asked for is just a reference tension-- the amount of force applied to the string by the stringing machine. It doesn't mean that it's yielded the same finished tension when you had it done by other stringers.
The real question for you is: How does the racket play? If it feels the way you want it, you can use Racket Tune to measure future string jobs and have a reference for the finished tension you like. You can measure the finished tension, and, if it's not the tension you know you like, you can ask for higher or lower REFERENCE tension the next time you restring. You can also use Racket Tune after every hitting session to monitor the continuing drop in tension. At some point, you'll find the tension significantly lower than it was originally, AND you'll find the racket begins to play differently, forcing you to compensate with your swing. Tolerance for this varies from person to person, and it's generally better to tolerate less; you don't really want to continuously adjust your game. Once you've identified your tolerance, you can use Racket Tune to let you know when you're getting close, and can re-string... WELL before they break, for most players...
No way to know from this if your stringer is 'good' from a single sample. 'Good' really means 'reapeatable', so that your racket comes out the same every time it's re-strung. I'm sure your stringer is fine.
