Two Standards of Detention
December 3, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Amy Goodman, Truthdig
Scott Roeder, the anti-abortion zealot charged with killing Dr. George Tiller, has been busy. He called the Associated Press from the Sedgwick County Jail in Kansas, saying, "I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal." Charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault, he is expected to be arraigned July 28. AP recently reported that Roeder has been proclaiming from his jail cell that the killing of abortion providers is justified. According to the report, the Rev. Donald Spitz of the Virginia-based Army of God sent Roeder seven pamphlets defending "defensive action," or killing of abortion clinic workers.
Spitz's militant Army of God Web site calls Roeder an "American hero," proclaiming, "George Tiller would normally murder between 10 and 30 children … each day … when he was stopped by Scott Roeder."
The site, with biblical quotes suggesting killing is justified, hosts writings by Paul Hill, who killed Dr. John Britton and his security escort in Pensacola, Fla., and by Eric Rudolph, who bombed a Birmingham, Ala., women's health clinic, killing its part-time security guard.
On Spitz's Web site, Rudolph continues to write about abortion: "I believe that deadly force is indeed justified in an attempt to stop it."
Juxtapose Roeder's advocacy from jail with the conditions of Fahad Hashmi.
Hashmi is a U.S. citizen who grew up in Queens, N.Y., and went to Brooklyn College. He went to graduate school in Britain and was arrested there in 2006 for allegedly allowing an acquaintance to stay with him for two weeks. That acquaintance, Junaid Babar, allegedly kept at Hashmi's apartment a bag containing ponchos and socks, which Babar later delivered to an al-Qaida operative. Babar was arrested and agreed to cooperate with the authorities in exchange for leniency.
While the evidence against Hashmi is secret, it probably stems from the claims of the informant Babar.
Fahad Hashmi was extradited to New York, where he has been held in pretrial detention for more than two years. His brother Faisal described the conditions: "He is kept in solitary confinement for two straight years, 23- to 24-hours lockdown. … Within his own cell, he's restricted in the movements he's allowed to do. He's not allowed to talk out loud within his own cell. … He is being videotaped and monitored at all times. He can be punished … denied family visits, if they say his certain movements are martial arts … that they deem as incorrect. He has Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) … against him."
Hashmi cannot contact the media, and even his lawyers have to be extremely cautious when discussing his case, for fear of imprisonment themselves. His attorney Sean Maher told me: "This issue of the SAMs … of keeping people in solitary confinement when they're presumed innocent, is before the European Court of Human Rights. They are deciding whether they will prevent any European country from extraditing anyone to the United States if there is a possibility that they will be placed under SAMs … because they see it as a violation … to hold someone in solitary confinement with sensory deprivation, months before trial."
Similarly, animal rights and environmental activists, prosecuted as "eco-terrorists," have been shipped to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' new "communication management units" (CMUs). Andrew Stepanian was recently released and described for me the CMU as "a prison within the actual prison. … The unit doesn't have normal telephone communication to your family … normal visits are denied … you have to make an appointment to make one phone call a week, and that needs to be done with the oversight of … a live monitor."
Stepanian observed that up to 70 percent of CMU prisoners are Muslim—hence CMU's nickname, "Little Guantanamo." As with Hashmi, it seems that the U.S. government seeks to strip terrorism suspects of legal due process and access to the media—whether in Guantanamo or in the secretive new CMUs. The American Civil Liberties Union is suing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the Bureau of Prisons over the CMUs.
Nonviolent activists like Stepanian, and Muslims like Hashmi, secretly and dubiously charged, are held in draconian conditions, while Roeder trumpets from jail the extreme anti-abortion movement's decades-long campaign of intimidation, vandalism, arson and murder.

The Big Hate
June 18, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Paul Krugman
Back in April, there was a huge fuss over an internal report by the Department of Homeland Security warning that current conditions resemble those in the early 1990s — a time marked by an upsurge of right-wing extremism that culminated in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Conservatives were outraged. The chairman of the Republican National Committee denounced the report as an attempt to "segment out conservatives in this country who have a different philosophy or view from this administration" and label them as terrorists.
But with the murder of Dr. George Tiller by an anti-abortion fanatic, closely followed by a shooting by a white supremacist at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the analysis looks prescient.
There is, however, one important thing that the D.H.S. report didn't say: Today, as in the early years of the Clinton administration but to an even greater extent, right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment.
Now, for the most part, the likes of Fox News and the R.N.C. haven't directly incited violence, despite Bill O'Reilly's declarations that "some" called Dr. Tiller "Tiller the Baby Killer," that he had "blood on his hands," and that he was a "guy operating a death mill." But they have gone out of their way to provide a platform for conspiracy theories and apocalyptic rhetoric, just as they did the last time a Democrat held the White House.
And at this point, whatever dividing line there was between mainstream conservatism and the black-helicopter crowd seems to have been virtually erased.
Exhibit A for the mainstreaming of right-wing extremism is Fox News's new star, Glenn Beck. Here we have a network where, like it or not, millions of Americans get their news — and it gives daily airtime to a commentator who, among other things, warned viewers that the Federal Emergency Management Agency might be building concentration camps as part of the Obama administration's "totalitarian" agenda (although he eventually conceded that nothing of the kind was happening).
But let's not neglect the print news media. In the Bush years, The Washington Times became an important media player because it was widely regarded as the Bush administration's house organ. Earlier this week, the newspaper saw fit to run an opinion piece declaring that President Obama "not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself," and that in any case he has "aligned himself" with the radical Muslim Brotherhood.
And then there's Rush Limbaugh. His rants today aren't very different from his rants in 1993. But he occupies a different position in the scheme of things. Remember, during the Bush years Mr. Limbaugh became very much a political insider. Indeed, according to a recent Gallup survey, 10 percent of Republicans now consider him the "main person who speaks for the Republican Party today," putting him in a three-way tie with Dick Cheney and Newt Gingrich. So when Mr. Limbaugh peddles conspiracy theories — suggesting, for example, that fears over swine flu were being hyped "to get people to respond to government orders" — that's a case of the conservative media establishment joining hands with the lunatic fringe.
It s not surprising, then, that politicians are doing the same thing. The R.N.C. says that "the Democratic Party is dedicated to restructuring American society along socialist ideals." And when Jon Voight, the actor, told the audience at a Republican fund-raiser this week that the president is a "false prophet" and that "we and we alone are the right frame of mind to free this nation from this Obama oppression," Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, thanked him, saying that he "really enjoyed" the remarks.
Credit where credit is due. Some figures in the conservative media have refused to go along with the big hate — people like Fox's Shepard Smith and Catherine Herridge, who debunked the attacks on that Homeland Security report two months ago. But this doesn't change the broad picture, which is that supposedly respectable news organizations and political figures are giving aid and comfort to dangerous extremism.
What will the consequences be? Nobody knows, of course, although the analysts at Homeland Security fretted that things may turn out even worse than in the 1990s — that thanks, in part, to the election of an African-American president, "the threat posed by lone wolves and small terrorist cells is more pronounced than in past years."
And that's a threat to take seriously. Yes, the worst terrorist attack in our history was perpetrated by a foreign conspiracy. But the second worst, the Oklahoma City bombing, was perpetrated by an all-American lunatic. Politicians and media organizations wind up such people at their, and our, peril.

Samantha Holman chairs the judging panel. 15 October 2014 Magazines Ireland welcomes the announcement that the 9% VAT rate on tourism-related activities is being retained. In our pre-budget submission we set out our objective to have this retained. Originally introduced in 2011, the reduction in VAT to 9% on magazines and periodicals has been positive for the industry and reflects the emphasis and support of Government and policy makers towards the sector. However we also pointed out in our submission that many of our European neighbours enjoy a zero rate of VAT on magazines, including the UK, in recognition of the need for citizens to have greater access to the printed word and also the contribution magazines make to literacy levels. Furthermore printed and digital magazine formats are treated differently
for VAT purposes across Europe. In Ireland, VAT on digital magazines
is charged at 23% compared to the current 9% on printed magazines.
We believe that the lack of alignment between the digital and print
formats, represents a barrier to existing and future investment in
the digital environment. Not only has it affected the competitiveness
of the magazine publishing sector, but it does not take into account
the evolution of the new media environment. Our auditors have produced a Budget Highlights 2015 document for members

However, consumers remain quite cautious, just 1 in 10 expect to spend more throughout the oncoming year. In addition, the average amount of disposable income remains half of the Celtic Tiger peak.

Press Council of Ireland has been informed by the Press Ombudsman,
Professor John Horgan, that he will be retiring from his position with
effect from 1st September 2014. The Chairman of the Press Council, Mr. Dáithi O'Ceallagh, said today: "Professor Horgan was central to the establishment of the Office of the Press Ombudsman. The recently published Handbook on Code of Practice for Newspapers and Magazines containing a range of decisions made by him and by the Council in response to complaints under the Code of Practice is illustrative of his wisdom and sound commonsense, which draw on his wide journalistic, political and academic experience. He will be greatly missed, and both I and all the members of the Press Council are profoundly grateful to him and wish him well. Professor
Horgan said: "It has been a great honour and privilege
to have served as Ireland's first Press Ombudsman. I am particularly
grateful for the support of my staff, of all those who have served
on the Press Council since its establishment, and for the vital commitment
of the press itself. All of us have shared the responsibility of setting
up these new and independent institutions to underline the importance
of public trust in the free press in a democratic society, and to promote
best professional practice and accountability in newspapers and magazines." Vogue's Quinn digs in his spurs for the next battle 27 March 2014 Gould Publication Papers Presentation March 2014 26 March 2014 Click here to download (PPT 6MB) An Post warns retailers to cease selling competitors' products 18 March 2014 Retailers have been warned against selling products that compete with An Post services, or risk their contract being terminated An Post has sent a letter to all its postmasters who operate retail outlets warning them against selling products that would be deemed competitive to An Post. /ShelfLife/ has seen a copy of the strongly worded letter, dated 28 February, from John Daly, Retail Operations director of An Post. The letter stated that a postmaster who operates a shop in conjunction with An Post may not under his contract offer competing services in the shop. It complained of postmasters providing services for competitors such as the "holding of parcels for customers for courier companies". The letter stated: "Many of our competitors are only too happy to establish themselves in close proximity to post office services as they hope to draw business away from our network. We should not be facilitating them. "Under your contract with An Post you may not operate or be involved in operating directly or indirectly any service in the post office or in the same premises as the post office which competes directly or indirectly with any service provided by An Post in the post office." He cites services such as electronic top up, sale of SIM cards, bill payment services and money transmission services as the main competition. The letter goes on to say that even when competing services are located in or around the same premises, An Post would view this as the post office "being deemed unsuitable for purpose". "Where any such activity is identified it will be regarded extremely seriously as all postmasters have been clearly advised that such activity represents a breach of their contract. An Post will take immediate action for such breaches of contract up to and including notice of contract termination." It urges retailers to take it upon themselves to "make such matters clear to the management company concerned" if the likes of a Parcel Motel is present in a shopping centre with a post office. The retailer was then warned that checks would be carried out and action taken if any such competition was observed. "You should be aware that company officers, including audit teams and visiting offices, will in future as a matter of course, check to see if competing services are being provided. If you are currently providing any such service to other parties you need to cease doing so immediately." /ShelfLife/ contacted a number of retailers about this issue and while they didn't want to be named for obvious reasons the general consensus was that they were very unhappy with the contents of the letter. One retailer said that it was "a disaster" for him as he was a Payzone agent too and needed this to provide services like the Leap Card, gas cards and ESB top up, which were services not provided on An Post's Postpoint system. He said he would lose a considerable amount of footfall if he couldn't sell Leap cards. Another retailer said that he was contacting the Postmasters Union to complain about the situation. Bill to remove upward only rent reviews passed in Seanad 04 March 2014 Senator Feargal Quinn's bill to eradicate upward-only rent reviews receives positive reception from retail and business groups Feb 28 2014 Senator Feargal Quinn with ShelfLife publisher John McDonald. ShelfLife C-Store Champion of the Year Feargal Quinn has managed to pass his Private Members Bill entitled Upward Only (Clauses and Reviews) Bill 2013, through the Seanad Senator Feargal Quinn with ShelfLife publisher John McDonald. ShelfLife C-Store Champion of the Year Feargal Quinn has managed to pass his Private Members Bill entitled Upward Only (Clauses and Reviews) Bill 2013, through the Seanad A Private Members Bill proposed by Senator Feargal Quinn, which seeks to ban upward only rent reviews in leases, has received a favourable vote in the Seanad and will now go to the Dail for consideration. A number of groups have welcomed the Seanad's vote, including ISME, the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association, which said it had been lobbying on this issue since the government reneged on its pre-election promise to change the law, based on advice from the Attorney General. ISME chief executive Mark Fielding said: "The bill proposed by Senator Quinn is very fair and balanced and provides for a temporary reduction in commercial rent to a market level. An alternative proposed by ISME, which gives a tax break to tenants under these leases could also be examined when the bill gets into the Dail." The association called on the government parties to take this vote seriously and examine how the spirit of the bill can be enacted into law. This will assist SME businesses who are suffering under unfair and uneconomic lease conditions. Retail Excellence Ireland (REI) also welcomed the results of the vote. David Fitzsimons, chief executive, REI said: "This is a significant decision taken by members of the Seanad who are very aware of the untold damage being done to family businesses and jobs because of the continued existence of upward only rent review clauses. "The government will quote constitutional issues however our Senior Council advice is clear that the bill in no way undermines constitutional property rights. It is a fact that many large private landlords and pension funds have refused to grant tenants any rent relief and have overseen a significant level of business failure and job loss. The last six years have proven that a cohort of landlords are unwilling to work in partnership with their tenants. NAMA has provided some relief to tenants but only when that tenant business is on its last legs. Furthermore NAMA cannot compel landlords whose loans are in NAMA to grant rent relief to struggling tenants." The CSNA has likewise welcomed the news, stating: "The association has congratulated and offered further assistance to Senator Fergal Quinn in his successful attempt to bring into political debate the whole matter of upward only rent reviews." Senator Feargal Quinn previously stated: "In the past, the government has cited constitutional obstacles to the enactment of legislation of this kind. However, I do not agree with this view, nor indeed did the State's leading constitutional lawyer - Dr Gerard Hogan SC (now a judge of the High Court)."

no matter how well you clean, that cat hair gets into everything doesn't it? Welcome.
Hello! What a wonderful site! I love to cook, I even had the honor of designing my own kitchen when we bought this place seven years ago. Such an honor it was, I love my kitchen. Nothing makes me happier than going into my nice clean kitchen -- and wreaking havoc and making a terrible mess! Ha!
Okay, I clean as I go, no one will get ptomaine or E.Coli or any other nasty diseases.
However, there might be one problem. I have 5 cats and one dog. If you find a cat hair in the food, just consider the fact that it is just a bit of flavoring.
Yeah, right.
Hi and here I am, cats and all. I look forward to seeing all of you on the boards, sharing, and getting to know you all.
OH -- AND Happy New Year to all!
no matter how well you clean, that cat hair gets into everything doesn't it? Welcome.
Yes, it does! Thank you for the welcome!
I really need to speak to Dave Oreck -- I think his vacuum is wonderful, but it does need a cat hair tool.
guess you're used to cat hair being a condiment!

After last week's 40-38 win over Towson, a reporter asked Tigers' junior defensive lineman Brian Boateng if Lehigh University senior Chris Lum was the best quarterback he's faced all season.
"No," Boateng replied, finding it unnecessary to elaborate any further.
This week when a reporter asked North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl about Lum's abilities, he had a few other words on the Walter Payton Award finalist.
"He is really good; not average, really good," Bohl said. "This guy's a cool operator in the pocket and makes very few mistakes. He's an excellent quarterback and it will be a real challenge coaching against him."
The sixth-ranked Mountain Hawks (11-1) travel to fourth-ranked and second seed North Dakota State (11-1) on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
Bohl, the ninth-year Bison head coach, knows a thing or two about opposing offenses.
He was a former linebackers coach at Tulsa (1985-86) and Wisconsin (87-88), a defensive coordinator at Rice (89-93) and held both positions during the 1994 season at Duke.
Before being named North Dakota State head coach, Bohl spent eight seasons at Nebraska, his alma mater, as linebackers coach. For the final three seasons there, he was also the Cornhuskers defensive coordinator.
"Myself being an old defensive coach, this team stresses you because you look at the weapons they have and how they can score," Bohl said of the Mountain Hawks. "There's probably not much we have in our toolbox that this guy hasn't seen."
Lum, one of the finalists for the Walter Payton Award — given to the top offensive player in the FCS — has thrown for 4,090 yards with 32 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
Last week against the Tigers, the senior from Lake Orion, Mich. was 36-for-48 for 351 yards — going over the 300-yard mark for the ninth time this season — with one passing and one rushing touchdown.
Lum and the Lehigh offense, which averages 479.1 yards and 35.2 points per game, will have its hands full with a stout, opportunistic North Dakota State defense.
The Bison have 16 interceptions and seven fumble recoveries (compared to eight turnovers for a gaudy plus-15 turnover ratio), while holding offenses to a meager 14.8 points per game — ranking second in the FCS in scoring defense.
"They beat Northern Iowa (14-7) last year and beat the Colonial Athletic Association champion on the road and I think that shows their character, their resolve and their ability to handle adversity and come up on the winning end," Bohl said. "… The best defense I know is keeping their quarterback on the sideline."
While Bohl has doled out the compliments to Lum and the offense, he was equally impressed with the Lehigh defense, especially the linebackers.
Bohl singled out Patriot League Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and all-league first teamer Mike Groome. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound senior leads the team with 105 tackles and is tied for the team lead with four interceptions.
"They're big, strong, rugged … they're throwback guys," he said. "(Groome) is a rock solid guy, a Dick Butkus-type guy. They're going to come up, hit you in the mouth, stand their ground and play solid defense.
"Their record is 11-1 and that's certainly appropriate."

"Delicious! I used Panko bread crumbs & added some seasoning salt & a pinch of sezchuan seasoning. These turned out perfectly crunchy, but as others have mentioned I did have to bake them for about an extra 10 min & cranked my oven up to 400. Yum! A family hit!"
"I earned 2 thumbs way up from every member of my household. I made 4 mini pizzas and rolled the dough out, until it was very thin. Instead of using a bread machine, I kneaded it by hand - with no trouble. I allowed the yeast mixture to sit for about 8 minutes before mixing in the flour, salt and oil then followed the recipe as described. I also ba..."

We skipped the nuts and added 1/2 cup extra oatmeal and 1 Tablespoon of flax seed (for the nutty flavor), and they turned out absolutely PERFECT! I love making them, and they are now my "go to" recipe for cookies!"
"These were delicious & easy to make. (Great combination!) I added chocolate chips the first time I made them, and followed all of the additional suggestions, but I wouldn't recommend doing that without trying the original recipe first. Ours with chocolate chips were a little TOO rich. I am definitely keeping this in my arsenal for a quick dessert ..."
"Wow! What a delicious soup! We had friends over and served this recipe without trying it on our own first. It was so delicious, we're adding it to our rotation of staple dishes. We used frozen, chopped spinach & it still turned out perfectly!Thank you for the delicious dish!"
"Tasty & very easy to make! Just what I needed on a Sunday morning before church. My husband requested I use more cinnamon next time on the inside though. I also used milk instead of water for the sweet sauce & made extra to cover all of the cinnamon rolls. I ended up with about 15!"
"Super-easy recipe. Very quick to make. A little bland, but good consistency. We also used whole-wheat & loved the results. We will add more spices next time but this recipe is definitely a "keeper"."
"This crust turned out crispy and delicious as promised. This made me the honorary pizza-chef at our house from now on. My only recommendation would be that if you want it really crispy - you should roll it out as thinly as possible. SOOOOOOO Good!"

Archoness Syndra
After all that I have endured in my life, and all that I now can wield, I am asked to stoop to down to something as common as receiving the questions of simpletons who would pretend to know me. Worse, those who would think that they can even begin to understand me. Tsk...such chores are beneath me, but I shall allow this to pass for now. I must learn more of the peoples to whom I will bring peace through power, and the lot of you shall perhaps gain a slight grasp of the Sovereign's mind. Insipidness will not be tolerated, however. Mind your words with care, people of Valoran...

Dear Syndra, Do you ever get tired of playing with your balls? Spitefully yours, Evelynn
Ask the Herald
Dark Sovereign, I don't wish to understand you. Although I am incredibly impressed by your raw power and your efficiency in wielding it, you still cling so desperately to your flesh and hold yourself to a weak state of being. Would it not be beneficial for you to consider undergoing augmentation? Your power could be immensely recycled and refined through the process by which I attained my glorious evolution. - Viktor, the Machine Herald
((Evelynn, first question, you just HAD to pull that joke didn't you?)) Dear Syndra, Usual question, what is your breakfast of champions? Paltala
((Pfft, why can't I get these sorts of jokes about my characters? :P))
Ask Malzaharr
"Dear Syndra Could you please stop fiddling with my voidlings on the fields of justice ? I'm already having a hard time controlling them and keeping them steady. Sincerely, Malzahar"
Lady Syndra, where did you get your wonderful headdress? it's beautiful on someone with as much potential as you. ~Razmig
Ask Shenn
Syndra, It's a shame to see you like this. I remember running errands when I was younger, seeing you as a child and... Playing... With the children. I wonder what you would do with your magic, how you could have helped the world with your powers. However now I see you like this, more drunk on power than Gragas and Brolaf get drunk on their Graggy Ikes... Or whatever it is they call it. Allow me to explain why I write this later. Grab a leaf, and poke a whole in the leaf with a small hook, then attach it to a cup. As you put a small coin into the cup you can see leaf holding onto the cup and what is stored in it. You can tell it is a strong, being able to hold so much, but you can see over time the more and more it gains, the more and more stressed and torn it becomes until it breaks and drops it's contents. What I'm trying to say is this: be careful as to how much power you get, you think it is a blessing now, but soon you will not be able to hold it all, as the leaf cannot hold the cup and coins. Be wise, balance yourself, it would be a shame to see such potential as yours explode from the seams. Sincerely, Shen

Today I am looking at a notebook from Acer called the Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165. This machine has one very unique feature -- it is 3D capable. This is the first notebook from Acer to offer 3D and one of the first on the market to support 3D from the factory.
If you are a big movie and casual game fan, the Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165 may be something you want to check out. The notebook turns plain ol' movies and content into 3D without any drama or extra steps. The coolness of the 3D feature aside, will the Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165 stack up?
The machine is at its core a multimedia notebook with specs putting it in the mid-range of the segment. The hardware and features make this a rather unique notebook in the multimedia and mainstream segment. Read on for all of the details on the Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165.

I'm back at it! Another little handmade gift anybody can make. Following the same style from the little love notes I made last week, these bookmarks are pretty easy. I know, maybe not that many people read actual books nowadays with so many tablets out there. Bookmarks to me are still pretty special.
All you need is scissors, scrap-booking paper, felt, punch hole, string, ink + stamps, needle and thread!
Start by cutting your paper into your desired size for the bookmark. Cut out hearts from the felt. Stitch your heart towards the top. Then simply stamp away with your choice of stamps. I decided to stamp the name of which I will be sending this too (spoiler alert). Then use the punch hole at the top of your bookmark and add a little string (which I forgot to photograph). I told you it was easy!

Veggie Burger: Is It Healthy?
by Toby Amidor in Is It Healthy?, July 12, 2013
When ordering a veggie burger at a restaurant, are you really making the healthier choice? It depends. The ingredients vary so widely, it pays to take a close look at what those burgers are made of.
Many veggie burgers are made from vegetables, whole grains, and legumes (like beans or lentils). These are good-for-you ingredients that provide fiber and a variety of vitamins and minerals.
Packaged veggie burgers (like Morning Star Farms or Boca) can also be a part of a healthy eating plan. They're a quick and convenient way to enjoy a meatless meal and typically run from 70 to 130 calories per patty. Pair with a whole-grain bun and pile the fresh veggies high for a well-balanced meal.
Store-bought veggie burgers may have a reasonable amount of calories per serving, but the sodium can be pretty high in some brands. In a recent veggie burger taste test, I found varieties containing as many as 390 milligrams of sodium per patty; that's 17% of the recommended daily amount.
Another issue with the store-bought veggie burgers is the long list of ingredients and preservatives—some have over 20! Read ingredient lists carefully, and look for brands that keep it simple; you can find some varieties with as few as 5 ingredients.
When dining out, it's tough to tell if a veggie burger is the healthiest choice. You have no idea what goes into it and an ingredient list is not typically available. But it doesn't hurt to ask! When I was a dietetic student, the kitchen I worked in would use the veggie and bean leftovers to create their burgers. Although they were delicious, they were different every time. In addition, some chefs will use a ton of oil or higher fat ingredients, which results in a higher calorie burger. Restaurants that provide a calorie count can give you a better idea if the veggie burger you're ordering is a healthier choice.
The Verdict: When it comes to veggie burgers, your best bet is to make your own. This way, YOU control the ingredients. You can even make a double batch and freeze half for later.

Will County Board reorganization moved up to Monday
BY CINDY WOJDYLA CAIN email@example.com November 28, 2012 7:52PM
Will County Executive Larry Walsh thanks the veterans for their service during Joliet's Veteran's Day Cetemony. | John Patsch~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: November 28, 2012 10:44PM
JOLIET — Grab your erasers, Will County Board watchers.
A board reorganization meeting that was tentatively scheduled for Dec. 12 has been scratched.
Republican board members wanted the meeting held separately from the swearing-in ceremony for the newly elected board, which is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Monday. The board's executive committee, dominated by Republicans, including some lame-duck members, agreed to hold it Dec. 12.
But Democrats will have the edge on the new 26-member board once it's seated. So County Executive Larry Walsh, a Democrat, stepped in Wednesday and called for the reorganization meeting to be at 11:30 a.m. Monday. Walsh has the power to call special meetings.
"The election is over, and we're ready to get down to work," Walsh said. "It's the holiday season, and a lot of people are going to be gone on vacations. People blocked Dec. 3 for county board business. We want to get it done and move on with the people's business."
During the reorganization, board chairman Jim Moustis (R-Frankfort Township) will likely have to step aside for Herbert Brooks Jr. (D-Joliet), who has been selected by Democrats to be the new chairman.
Democrats gained seats to achieve a 13-13 tie in the Nov. 6 election. Because Walsh can break tie votes on the board, the Democrats have a majority — something they haven't enjoyed since 1980. If Brooks, a minister at St. John's Missionary Baptist Church in Joliet, is selected as board chairman, it is believed he would be the first black chairman.

Five minutes in, and we're watching Andy Murray leading some freshly-hatched chicks towards a large hen. Ah, Virtua Tennis: forever the giggling lunatic of the sports game circuit.
Arcade mode lets you slip into the shoes of real-life stars, but it's the World Tour mode that's worth your time. Turning the globe into a giant board game, you use numbered movement tokens instead of a dice roll to travel around each continent.
Landing on one square might see you playing one of the title's daft mini-games, whereas another might see you taking part in a photoshoot for a sporting magazine - increasing your fame, but using up more of your time in the process.
Whether you're taking part in a tournament or working on your public image, everything you do costs you stamina. Let this slip too low, and your performance on the court will suffer.
Smash it
On the other hand, spend too long lounging around in hotels instead of raising your profile, and you'll miss out on the luxury of automatic qualification, having to play an extra series of matches just to earn your placement in the bigger competitions. Rush through a season and you'll miss the benefits, but take too long and you might end up missing the final tournament entirely.
Considering how badly the genre tends to struggle with a sense of physical progression, Virtua Tennis 4 puts the competition to shame with its odd board game formula. The skills that you use the most will level up faster, adding another level of progression into the mix.
As a single-player experience it's hugely compelling - and even as multiplayer party game, its simple enough to entertain even the most idiotic or inebriated of pals. The only, and very, disappointing element is the much-touted Kinect support. This is limited to standalone Exhibition matches (played solo or with a similarly flailing partner) and a single mini-game, and feels imprecise, inconsistent and barely enjoyable.
It's an unexpected blight on what is otherwise a simple, exciting and utterly addictive game. Even if you're only a casual fan of the genre, it's all just incredibly fun stuff.
Kinect aside, it's genuinely smashing
- World Tour mode is brilliant
- Hilariously silly mini-games
- Unexpectedly strategic
- Matches get genuinely intense
- Kinect bits are rubbish

Did 'Atlas Shrugged' Really Fail and Should Producer John Aglialoro Blame Critics?
Features By Scott Beggs on April 27, 2011 | Comments (9)Early yesterday, the LA Times blog released quotes from Atlas Shrugged Part 1 writer/producer John Aglialoro which indicated that he was throwing in the towel on making Part 2 and Part 3. The reason, of course, was that the film just didn't make its money back. Aglialoro spent a reported $10m of his own cash on the production, and a second week drop off hurt the independent flick considerably. The movie has currently only made $3.2m at the box office. It started with an impressive per screen average, but as with other films which zero in on an audience, everyone who wanted to see the movie saw it opening weekend. The numbers dropped, and an expansion was scrapped. Aglialoro very specifically blames critics and what he believes is a collective "fear of Ayn Rand" amongst them for the movie's failings. So much for personal responsibility. However, it's his ire and hatred of the critical response that has caused an about-face. Aglialoro now claims that, while he was once defeated, he now stands ready to proceed with making Atlas Shrugged Part 2 and Part 3. Like all misunderstood artists, he should.
The Best Films of 2010: The Staff Picks
2010 Year in Review By Neil Miller on December 31, 2010 | Comments (15)As I expressed earlier in the week as our 2010 Year in Review began, I take it as a great honor that I am able to put together my list of the Best Films of the Year as part of my Editor's Picks entry. And while I'm a massive fan of my own perspective and opinions, I'm an even bigger fan of the writing and ever-diverse tastes of the Film School Rejects reviewing staff. These are the folks who, through their sensational (and often divisive) review-writing, keep you coming back for more each and every day. They travel the world and brave the crowds at festivals, conventions, preview screenings and special events to bring you some of the industry's sharpest, most honest film coverage. And I for one am honored to have them all on this team. Just as I did last year, I couldn't wait to see which films each writer would put on their Top 5 lists as the best films of the year. And just as they did last year, they didn't disappoint with their unique, ever-fascinating selections. So read on dear reader, as we present the crown jewel of our 2010 Year in Review: The Staff Picks.
Year in Review: The Ten Best Horror Films of 2010
2010 Year in Review By Robert Fure on December 29, 2010 | Comments (1)Being a heavy horror fan is a tough gig. Most producers look at horror as a quick buck genre, a franchise to be used, abused, ridden hard and put up wet to make a profit. They don't really care too much about putting out quality product, instead they just opt for product. Or at least that's how it seems. 2010, to me at least, felt like one of the weakest years on record for horror. I thought last year was bad, but then the past 350 some odd days happened. I'm pretty confident I could say that this is the worst year for horror since the birth of Film School Rejects. It felt that bad. Regardless of my own disappointment in the movies this year, and in myself for missing a few releases, I scrapped the bottom of the barrel barren and plucked out ten (plus one!) [that means 11] horror movies that aren't complete wastes of your time. Then again, you might just be better off buying all the Roger Corman Cult Classics for sale from Shout! Factory.
31 Days of Horror: The Crazies (2010)
31 Days of Horror By Robert Fure on October 16, 2010 | Comments (4)When the calendar page turns to October, we Rejects have only one thought: horror. To celebrate this grandest and darkest of months, we'll cover one excellent horror film a day for the entirety of the month. That's 31 Days of Horror and 31 Films perfect for viewing on a dark, chilly, October night. If you, like us, love horror and Halloween, give us a Hell Yeah and keep coming every day this month for a new dose of adrenaline. Synopsis: A small town is turned upside down when a military spawned virus is accidentally released into their water supply, turning them into raging, blood thirsty crazies with little regard for human life. With no way of stopping the assault, Sheriff Dutton attempts to lead a small group of survivors out of town. Killer Scene: Things get pretty intense inside of a car wash and people you've picked to survive drop like flies throughout the story, though the best scene for my money is the ending scene. Sheriff Dutton and his wife have finally made it to the military rendezvous point and discover just how the government planned on dealing with any survivors. While deciding what to do, the group is attacked by three crazed bikers leading to an epic battle in a trucking garage.
A couple of times each year I like to take a moment to just look at how horror is coming along in the year. Take a look back and what we've seen this year so far and gaze into the future of what's still to come. Thus far, 2010 has been fairly underwhelming overall, and the horror scene has been no different on the big screen. We got, as usual, a bunch of remakes – at least four theatrical so far come to mind – and very few standouts. Perhaps the biggest news of the year in terms of horror was the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street being critically panned by everyone except me, but performing well enough to merit sequel considerations. On DVD, Roger Corman has been thrust back into the spotlight with Shout! Factory's re-releasing of his massive library.
This Week in Blu-ray: Wipe the Blood Away
Blu-ray Spotlight By Neil Miller on July 6, 2010 | Be the First To CommentJune was a rough month for This Week in Blu-ray. Only a few of you actively missed it, judging by the emails, but I'm sure that even more of you felt a hole in your very souls due to the lack of weekly Blu-ray buying advice. By my count I am four weeks behind as of today, four weeks that each had worthy releases — some of which you may have purchased already. So in an effort to be brief, I've selected the most prominent releases and mixed them in with the Blu-rays hitting shelves this week. It's my way of smashing four weeks of release together and wiping away the blood. In the end, it should give you a good road map for what you should have been doing all along.
On a recent trip to Ogden Marsh, we drank the water, lost our minds, and reviewed the Blu-ray of one of 2010s Best Horror Films – The Crazies, starring Rob Hunter's boyfriend Timothy Olyphant.

Shutter Island Takes a Second Weekend at the Top

Interview: The Crazies Director Breck Eisner
Features By Neil Miller on February 26, 2010 | Comments (2)Early this morning — about 10 am, which is early to any movie blogger — I sat down with director Breck Eisner to talk about The Crazies. It was a unique situation for both of us. I had spent 4 of the last 12 hours of my life running a crash-course on the 27-year existence of The Crazies, watching both George Romero's 1973 original and Eisner's remake seemingly back-to-back. For Eisner, today is opening day.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: February 26, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on February 26, 2010 | Comments (1)Fat Guys at the Movies Ep. 154 – The Cop Out Fatties
Features By Kevin Carr on February 26, 2010 | Be the First To CommentKevin and Neil celebrate the end of the February movie season by barely seeing any movies. Neil copped out on Cop Out and neither of the Fat Guys were able to see The Crazies before recording.
Welcome to another Reject Report, where the big question this weekend is whether Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan and Cop Out can help the movie-going audience escape from Shutter Island.
In some regards, Breck Eisner's new film The Crazies is the horror genre's The Hurt Locker. What exactly do I mean by that boldly nonsensical statement? We'll get to that in a minute. But first I want to talk about a few horror film cliches that crop up in the final half-hour…
We have one (1) prize pack of four original George Romero film including – Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Season of the Witch and the original The Crazies. Who wants it?
This Week in Movie Posters: Lost Basterds and Crazy Kids
Features By Neil Miller on February 19, 2010 | Comments (2)It's Friday, and that means that it is time to take a look at This Week in Movie Posters. This week we have lost art for Inglorious Basterds, Kick-Ass, Russell Brand, creepy kids and a fascinating look behind the scenes of poster creation.
Photo Gallery: Get The Full Experience with The Crazies
Movie News By Neil Miller on February 16, 2010 | Comments (1)In early February, we debuted three exclusive new photos from the upcoming Breck Eisner directed remake of George Romero's The Crazies. In fact, I noticed that more than a few sites debuted photos over the past few weeks. There were a lot of images floating around, but they all resided in different places around the web. Now that Overture Films has released their final press kit, we have all of the photos from The Crazies — in one place. Now you can see some of the scary ones, the funny ones and the ones with the ever-lovely Radha Mitchell. The Crazies is in theaters February 26, 2010.
This Month In Theaters: February 2010
Features By Rob Hunter on February 4, 2010 | Be the First To CommentHey everyone, we survived the January doldrums!

EPA warns so-called refrigerant substitutes can cause explosion
Press Release
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns homeowners, propane manufacturers and sellers, home improvement contractors and air-conditioning technicians of potential safety hazards related to the use of propane or other unapproved refrigerants in home air-conditioning systems.
The EPA is currently investigating instances where propane has been marketed and used as a substitute for HCFC-22 (R-22), a refrigerant that is widely used in home air-conditioning systems.
Other names for some unapproved refrigerants include R-290, 22a, 22-A, R-22a, HC-22a and CARE 40.
Home air-conditioning systems are not designed to handle propane or other similar flammable refrigerants. The use of these substances poses a potential fire or explosion hazard for homeowners and service technicians.
