Bean Sprout Beef Rice Bowl
I am done with my confinement but am a little overwhelmed at the moment. Please enjoy this guest post by Beyond Kimchee, a fabulous Korean food blog that I recently discovered. Authored by Hyegyoung (aka Holly), a native of South Korea, Beyond Kimchee is a chronicle of Holly's recipes and the food she prepares for her two kids and husband. If you love Korean food, you ought to check it out as the step-by-step picture instructions on her site are absolutely awesome and makes learning Korean food so much more fun and easier! Welcome to Rasa Malaysia, Holly. (Please click on the image above to view the step-by-step cooking guide.)
It is so exciting to see more and more people trying Korean recipes in their homes these days. I was blown away to see how many Galbi or Kimchee recipes are on the web when I first thought of having my own Korean food blog about 6 months ago. Some recipes are very excellent and some, well… I had to raise my eyebrow. I must have been hibernating in the cave all these years while Korean Bulgogi Taco swiped the valley of California, or Kimchee stew had become an addictive to some of those K-pop lovers.
Korean food is earthy and somewhat rustic I would say. There's no exotic ingredients and you don't need special tools or gadgets to create wonderful meals. Your knife and hands are your best friends in the kitchen. The biggest challenge I face every time I organize my recipes into my blog is converting a little bit of this into tablespoons, and a little bit of that into teaspoons. Most Korean home cooks don't use measuring cups or spoons. I bet that goes same to other Asian home cooks as well. We just trust our senses and finger tips, don't we?
I am thrilled to post as a guest blogger on Bee's the famous "Rasa Malaysia". I have been a fan of her blog and thrilled for the opportunity to be part of it. The recipe I am introducing is called "Bean Sprout Beef Rice Bowl with Chive Sauce". Wow, what a long name! Let's just call it "Bean sprout rice". That's what we call in Korea. This is quite common dish among Koreans and everyone loves it. It is basically part of Bibimbop family but you only need one vegetable, the bean sprouts. It is simple (regardless of the long list), easy, budget friendly, and most of all, it's delicious!
Ground beef is seasoned in basic Bulgogi marinade. Bean sprouts are cooked in a little bit of water with dried anchovies and sea kelp reserving the broth afterward. Rice should be soaked in the water for 30 minutes and cooked later in the reserved bean sprout broth. Make the chive dressing with given ingredients and you are set to go.
May I give a serving suggestion how to eat this? Like Bibimbop you need to mix in everything in the large bowl. Bibimbop mixing is an important step! :)
I have to confess that after the photo shot of this dish I dumped everything into a bigger mixing bowl, drizzled more sesame oil and mixed all in until they get nicely incorporated. The taste? Well, all I can say is, Mmmmmmmm…, Goooooood!
P.S : Any questions on the recipes, ingredients, or just simply want to say, hi…?

I love Korean food but can't find any reliable Korean food blog (in English). Thanks so much Bee for introducing Beyond Kimchee. I love it, it's very resourceful and just what I am looking for. Time to cook some Korean dishes.
Try http://www.aeriskitchen.com. Aeri is Korean. She also has a youtube channel. Her recipes are definitely more or less authentic, and they're very easy to follow.
Oh very cool a bulgogi marinade. I have only had it out of the bottle. This looks like a cool dish.
I am yet to try Korean food. I used to love bean sprouts while growing up. Now I am into Mung Bean sprouts that I make from scratch. So organically yummy!
I love mung bean sprouts as well. They make wonderful Korean side dish, just like soy bean sprouts.
What is the difference between this bean sprout beef rice bowl and bibimbap? I love bibimbap and this looks just like it. Also, do you know where I can buy those stone rice container used in Korean restaurant? Can I get it online?
Bibimbap, in general, has at least 5 different types of vegetables each seasoned separately w/ or w/o beef, and placed on top of rice with a fried egg and chili paste. Typically served in a big bowl but most prefer it in the heated stone pot, which create the rice on the bottom crispy.
The difference of this dish to Bibimbap is that you only prepare one vegetable but prepared in different way, and the dressing that goes with it. It wll take a lot less time and effort to prepare but still enjoy the goodness of mixing rice with meat and vegetable. Some Koreans prefer without the beef. There are several restaurant in Korea that specialize this dish only. Trust me , this is very flavorful dish with half of the effort of traditional Bibimbap.
Hope this helps.
I love Korean food and the little dishes served before the meal. I'm especially partial to the little anchovies. Do you have a recipe for that?
Do you mean the tiny baby anchovies that were seasoned with chili flakes and soy sauce?
Hi Bee, How about some tasty low fat asian recipes for people like me who need to lose weight for medical reasons?
I am not sure what the above comment mean?
Agree Bee, Beyond Kimchee is a fabulous Korean food blog. I can still recall her simple yet awesome recipe on Kimchee Bacon Fried Rice Recipe
Thanks for sharing another wonderful Korean recipe here, I love Bibimbop.
I love this recipe, I've made it many times over and it's always a hit with my hubby. Lots of ingredients to buy but once you have them you're good to go!
I am glad that you and your husband like this dish. They are considered as healthy food since you get to eat lots of bean sprouts, and I often serve with brown rice to make it even healthier. Thanks.
I noticed that you use the big bean sprouts for this recipe. I can only find regular bean sprouts, would that work?
Do yo mean the sprouts with tiny heads? They are mung bean sprouts and yes, it should work. Adjust cooking time for them though, since they will need less time. Thanks.
This looks mighty tasty.
Really intersting dish..Looks really yummy!
Hi! My boyfriend usually doesn't like bean sprouts in restaurants but when we made this, he loved it! Thanks!
Er, I absolutely detest anchovies so is there a good alternative? Please? This looks so delish and I adore Korean food but I can't bring myself to eat anchovies. *Eyes tearing up at thought*
Hello :))) love love your website and recipes! I have two questions ! First one is I was able to find kelp on this long sheets in your recipe it days 2-3 you mean oz or pieces can you be more specific ? And I wanted to double the meat to a pound instead of do I double the marinade for the meat? Do I have to double everything since I'm doubling the meat? Thank you!
Tthat looks delicious, I am Korean but it does look like Korean-made dishes. For the tip of the perfct localized Bean Sprout Beef recipe, we mix the bean sprout with rice as it cooked already insdie the ricecooker when it served to the plating step! :)
Good job!

Peach Amaretti Crumble
The farmers market has been flooded with fresh locally grown peaches these last few weeks and I certainly have been enjoying them. This weekend I got a few too many of them to finish in the week simply by snacking on them and it was about time that I got down to making something with them. Crisps, crumbles and cobblers are by far one of the easiest ways too use a lot of fruit and this crumble has been on my mind for a while. The main idea of this crumble was to use amaretti cookie crumbs to make the topping and to hit the peach filling with a splash of amaretto. To continue building on the almond flavours I added some slivered almonds to the topping as well. This crumble was as easy as cutting up some peaches, mixing the topping and baking it and the rewards of so little effort are amazing! The amaretti crumble topping was phenomenal and it went really well with the peaches. Of course, I absolutely had to serve the peach crumble with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
Peach Amaretti Crumble(makes 4+ servings)
Printable Recipe
2 pounds ripe peaches (pealed, stoned and sliced)
1/4 cup amaretto
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup amaretti cookies (crushed)
1/4 cup almonds (sliced)
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter (melted)
1. Toss the peaches in the amaretto and cornstarch and place them in an 8x8 inch baking dish.
2. Mix the flour, amaretti cookies, almonds, brown sugar and butter and pour onto the peaches.
3. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until it is bubbling and the top is golden brown, about 30-45 minutes.

Galvin wrote:Hi, im new to camping, but all the gear im getting is set up for un powered sites. I have gas cookers, a large gas light from colman which can be run on unleaded petrol, battery powered lights, a solar battery charger, and i just got a 3 way fridge. The fridge was real cheap, it is 45 LT, only $299 from aldi. All the good ice boxes are around @200 anyway, and you have to keep buying ice, empty the water, what a pain in the ass so i got this fridge, i tried it out last weekend, and it is really good. I put some water in it, some frozen food and some cheese and butter just to see how it went. I woke up in the morning and the food was still frozen, the water was ice cold, cheese and butter were good.
3 way fridges work well if you use them properly.
Of course you get them running on the 240v at home and when you leave transfer it over to the 12v in the car. When you get to site run it on gas ( the most efficient energy source for 3 way fridges). At home when you put stuff in make sure its already cooled. One thing about them is that they do not recover like a compressor fridge so don't introduce warm things to the fridge during the day, add them after dark when it will recover quicker. Yep that means determining how many beers you are going to have the next day.
When running it in the car be careful your car can run it and all the other electronics. I use to drive a VZ Berlina and yep couldn't handle the fridge, had to run it off a second battery. The outlander is good and not a problem ( and has more gadgets!)

He was born in Baghdad to Kurdish parents and raised in the city. The magazine says he bought Rabee for a small, undisclosed sum in 1998 to handle his personal trades in Iraqi stocks. His "main selling point to his clients is that he's an Iraqi with a decade of experience working at different times for investors Mark Mobius and George Soros," the magazine notes. Mr. Taha estimates Rabee has funneled about $200 million in investments through the Iraq Stock Exchange since 2008.
After high school, Mr. Taha came to the United States in 1986 to attend
Case Western Reserve University
to study biomedical engineering.
"As graduation approached in 1990, he was getting ready to go home when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait," according to
Bloomberg Markets
. "The United Nations slapped sanctions on Iraq. The economy started to shatter. Taha got a call from his father telling him to stay in the U.S. It wasn't easy. To earn a living, he worked as a waiter at
La Dolce Vita Bistro
in Cleveland."
He then borrowed money from family friends to enroll in George Washington University's MBA program that put him on his current path in the business world.
Throwing them under the bus
Angie Schmitt
provides an
excellent takedown
of a
from "Freakonomics" co-author Stephen Dubner and Clemson University professor Eric Morris that argues driving is greener than transit.
"The intellectually dishonest argument rests on the per-passenger energy consumption of cars versus buses," Ms. Schmitt notes. "Buses are potentially much more efficient than cars, Morris admits. But many buses are underutilized: The average bus carries just 10 passengers, while the average car carries 1.6. As a result, Morris says, those traveling by bus consume 20 percent more energy per passenger than people driving in cars."
After "slagging transit with their big, attention-grabbing counter-intuitive point," she writes, Messrs. Dubner and Morris "admit that getting more people to use existing transit is unequivocally good for the planet. What they actually want to warn people about is building new transit, which won't work 'in places like Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Memphis' because the routes will be under-used. This, too, is incredibly dishonest."
Ms. Schmitt writes that cities like Cleveland "have weakened the transit systems they were endowed with by creating every possible incentive to drive. If anything, the 'hidden side' of this issue that Morris and Dubner play up for its counter-intuitive shock value — energy consumed per passenger mile — just points to the disastrous environmental consequences of planning communities around driving. The low ridership on Cleveland's passenger trains is testament to poor planning, not an indictment of transit."
This and that
Open up:
that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission "may soon take steps to require companies to disclose how all their money is spent on politics."
Meredith Cross, director of the SEC's Division of Corporate Finance, tells the website that the unit is taking a look at a political disclosure petition filed by Harvard Law School professor Lucian Bebchuk and other academics.
"We are looking at the rulemaking petition that was filed requesting mandatory disclosure of political spending and we have 300,000 comments on it. So in light of the interest, we're taking a look at whether to make a recommendation to the commission," Ms. Cross says.
The story notes that investor groups in recent years "have been pressing corporations to provide more details about their political spending." For instance, the
Needmor Fund
, a small foundation based in Toledo, "sought unsuccessfully earlier this year to have Goldman Sachs lift the veil on its lobbying activities and the advocacy groups it backs financially," according to MarketWatch.com.
Advice from Columbus:
Ohio Gov. John Kasich
sounds very bipartisan in
Wall Street Journal
about the dominant topic in the news this week — the "fiscal cliff." (What, you thought I was going with Petraeus?)
"State budget chiefs have begun setting aside money and looking for programs they can quickly scale back if leaders in Washington fail to reach a deal to avoid sending the economy over the so-called fiscal cliff," the newspaper reports. "The challenge is particularly acute in parts of the nation that are highly dependent on federal dollars, from communities with military bases to counties in the Washington beltway."
Gov. Kasich tells
The Journal
that Congress sometimes has a tendency to slash programs with little regard for the consequences. (And he should know, since he's a former member of the House.)
"I have one message to Congress: Recognize that if you do not act in a fair-minded way, you could really damage states," he says. "And that is a message not just to Democrats but to Republicans as well."
Borrowers, then buyers:
A new
commissioned by digital media distributor
OverDrive Inc.
shows that people who borrow e-books from libraries also are big buyers of e-books.
The survey of 75,000 library e-book readers "finds that these patrons purchase an average of 3.2 books (both print and e-books) each month, and a majority would consider purchasing books discovered on a library website," according to the study.
Book publishers have been a bit apprehensive about entering the library e-book market. This survey offers more reasons for them to embrace it.
Not too high, not too low:
Cleveland is one of the cities that has bounced back the fastest from the recession, at least as measured by unemployment rates, according to
this story
from the
Austin Business Journal
The story is based on data from the American City Business Journals' "On Numbers" report, which uses numbers from the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
. One portion of the report looked at how metropolitan unemployment rates have changed from September 2007 to September 2012.
The national unemployment rate remains 3.1 percentage points higher than it was five years ago, according to the report. Cities that have bounced back the best are Grand Rapids, Mich. (0.1 percentage point gap), Cleveland (0.5 percentage points) and Omaha, Neb. (0.6 percentage points).
In response to a tweet about the report, local writer
John Ettorre
observed that this pattern is "just like the dot-com crash a little over a decade ago. We don't get the same highs or lows, which isn't so bad."

Sounds, tones, noises, voices and texts converge in one of Heiner Goebbels most extraordinary acoustic creations. Is it a composition, environment, installation or sound sculpture on the grand scale? Its creator once described it as a composition for five pianos with no pianists, a play with no actors, a performance without performers, one might say a no-man show. Yet it is teeming with sound sources ranging from Bach to chants of natives of New Guinea to Greek folk song, and overlapping voices of, amongst many others, Claude Lévi-Strauss, William Burroughs and Malcolm X. The work was inspired by the work of 19th century Austrian Romantic writer Adalbert Stifter, who meticulously documented the signs and sounds of nature.

Latest update : 2012-02-13
Reactions to Whitney Houston's death
Reactions to the death of Whitney Houston. The Syrian city of Douma under siege. And China tightens control of micro blogs by ending online anonymity.
Reactions to Whitney Houston's death
American singer Whitney Houston died on Saturday, sparking an avalanche of commentary on social networks. Fans and fellow artists have been paying tribute to the diva. Aretha Franklin, Bette Midler and Mariah Carey are just some of the many celebrities who have posted messages of condolence online, sharing their grief and hailing her as one of the greatest singers of all time.
Syria: city of Douma is under siege
Men in Syrian army uniforms open fire in broad daylight… This footage was apparently filmed on Saturday in Douma in the suburbs of Damascus. Army deserters briefly seized Douma last month, but the dissident groups withdrew from the city and it has since been under siege by loyalist forces.
Members of the anti-government movement have been posting a lot of video footage online, suggesting armored vehicles have been deployed en masse to the streets of Douma, which has been deserted by residents. It would appear security forces even resorted to bombarding buildings using anti-aircraft canons, causing considerable damage to these residential areas.
The local Syria revolution coordination committee has posted a statement online which is being relayed on social networks, describing the situation at the scene. Water, electricity, and means of communication are regularly cut off in the city, and the army is apparently stopping people from entering or leaving Douma.
But the anti-government movement continues, despite the repression. As we can see in this video which is being circulated online, once night falls, rebels gather in the streets to protest the rule of Bashar al-Assad. This tactic of protesting at night has been implemented across the country, complicating matters for security forces.
China tightens control of microblogs
Micro bloggers in China will soon be stripped of their right to anonymity. From the 16th March onwards they will no longer be able to use a pseudonym and will have to use their real names if they want to post messages on Twitter like sites. Twitter itself is blocked in China.
Over 330 million people in China currently use micro blogs; the dazzling progress and rise in popularity of these services is partly down to the advent of mobile Internet. It's a rapidly growing market, and has prompted Beijing to tighten control over micro blogging sites in China, for fear of the impact they may have on protest movements, as was recently the case in Dalian. Residents took part in mass protests, which were coordinated via mobile phones, to demand the closure of a chemical plant in this city in Northern China. Their demands were heard.
With micro blogs web users in China can in some ways bypass the censorship by relaying information which has not been monitored by the authorities, in a very short period of time. These sites proved their effectiveness in influencing public opinion back in July following the deadly train accident in southern China. Numerous web users took to social networks to voice their criticism of the Ministry of Railways.
And the latest story dominating discussion on Chinese micro blogs; the mysterious disappearance of Wang Lijun, former police chief and deputy mayor of the city of Chongqing, last seen at the American consulate, the official line is that he is on 'stress leave'. Was he seeking asylum in the US? All sorts of theories are circulating on the blogosphere…
Old photos turned into super heroes trading cards
New York based artist Alex Gross came up with this idea of revamping old pictures by transforming photographs from the 19th century into pictures of superheroes, monsters and other science fiction characters and then posting them online…
Video of the day
Here's a man you should avoid in a pool hall… as we can see in this video which is currently enjoying huge success online, he can pull off all sorts of amazing trick shots. It's a stunning display and required hours of training to perfect.

Rod Stewart Announces Club Gig And Fan Q&A
Friday, April 19, 2013
Rod Stewart will play special one-off club gig and fan Q&A at L.A. legendary Troubadour on Thursday, April 25th. Rod will be performing a selection of tracks from his upcoming new album, Time, which is due out on May 7th. The new album marks his long-awaited return to songwriting and features 11 new songs, which he co-wrote and produced.
Fans who are unable to catch the Troubadour gig can also be part of the event beginning Saturday, April 27th, when the show will be available on-demand globally on VEVO and YouTube in countries including the U.S., Canada, England, France, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Spain, and Italy. The streaming event will also include exclusive unseen footage including pre-show interviews, b-roll footage, and more.
Rod Stewart told us that although his recent American Songbook albums have sold incredibly well, these days, getting substantial radio airplay is still tough for an older artist: "You're running up against, y'know, the airplay situation. They don't seem to want to play anybody that's over 35 anymore, y'know, and even over 30. I'm not complaining. Y'know, I think we've had a really good run at it -- the people that came along in the early '70s and are still here, like Elton and (David) Bowie, and myself -- and I don't think anybody can complain if they're playing other people on the radio."
Rod Stewart's next North American date will be the kickoff of his latest Las Vegas run on July 20th at The Colosseum At Caesars Palace.

Then Jerome, Howard's older son, falls for Victoria, the stunning daughter of the right-wing icon Monty Kipps, and the two families find themselves thrown together in a beautiful corner of America, enacting a cultural and personal war against the background of real wars that they barely register. An infidelity, a death, and a legacy set in motion a chain of events that sees all parties forced to examine the unarticulated assumptions which underpin their lives. How do you choose the work on which to spend your life? Why do you love the people you love? Do you really believe what you claim to? And what is the beautiful thing, and how far will you go to get it?
Set on both sides of the Atlantic, Zadie Smith's third novel is a brilliant analysis of family life, the institution of marriage, intersections of the personal and political, and an honest look at people's deceptions. It is also, as you might expect, very funny indeed.
©2005 Zadie Smith; (P)2005 Penguin Audio, a division of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., and BBC Audiobooks America
"[Smith's] wonderful ear for dialogue, as well as her uncanny ability to inhabit characters from different walks of life, is truly extraordinary." (Bookmarks Magazine)
"A boisterous, funny, poignant, and erudite novel that should firmly establish Smith as a literary force of nature." (Booklist)
"Like Smith's smash debut, White Teeth, this work gathers narrative steam from the clash between two radically different families." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"two thumbs up"
I thoroughly enjoyed this-- the experience was greatly enhanced by the narration, which was truly outstanding. Great characters & portrait of marriage, family life, the personal and political.
"Don't Make it End!"
This book is so fabulously written, with rich and poignant metaphor and simile, humor and a
BIG HEART and observant eye for life, that I
find myself listening in the car on the whole
5 minute trip to the high school and back. The
narration is almost as remarkable as the writing! Don't miss this one...and waiting to
find White Teeth and anything else Smith has ever written available on Audible soon!!
"Well done"
This book is marvelous, in part due to the fantastic reading by the narrator. He captures each character's voice and makes them come alive. The book is engrossing, funny and an extremely well done audiobook.
"listening better than reading?"
I really enjoyed this audio book -- it's very long, though, so is a major time commitment. I liked it more than friends who read the book liked it, leading me to believe that when you can be carried along by the good performance you can overlook some clunky plot stuff.
"Only if you're a fan of Smith"
I only recommend this if you're a fan of Zadie Smith. The narration is excellent, but like many of her books her characters are the main focus rather than an entralling plot.
"Fabulous in every way!"
Not only was this a deeply engaging story and the characters astutely drawn but the narration was absolutely superb! So few readers actually manage to create distinct and authentic voices for each character but this narrator had AMAZING range across gender, nationality, age, etc. You will absolutely not be disappointed by this listening experience.
"great book"
interesting characters, very well written. thoroughly enjoyed this book. if you like high quality fiction, you'll love this book.
"Terrific read"
The writing is captivating and the story is intriguing. it is a good illustration of how people exhibit double standards. It is a revealing commentary on academe and is sometimes erotic and sometimes enlightening.
On Beauty is beautifully written and excellently narrated - I think I heard about fifteen different well-done accents. I loved the plot delving into the academic world and revealing the surprisingly normal and flawed humans residing in it. I couldn't stop listening and will look for the author and narrator again.
"I loved it!"
this is a great book by a great author...at times laugh out loud funny, at other times poignant, with uncomfortably familiar human situations...it's great

Currie 9' Rear. The Chassis, not Trans is from Total Costs Involved. Even SSBC brakes would run $3-4K as fitted to this rig. Engine is custom built 502. I know what those go for. Even straight from GMPP without mods, you are talking at least $4k. Custom like this is likely starting around $8K minimum. Finished body and paint of this quality, if you aren't doing it yourself, is probably at least $15K.

Sonho de consumo Raphael Rosa Santos!!! Demais
Meagan Lopez
this is also a GMC, 55-57 front end, not sure why they are calling it a 59
Look in an indiana auto rv. They have fully custom chevy pickups for not even half that price. And actually they are more custom than the one you just sold. Being in indiana vehicles tend to rust a lot more so more work has to go into them. People around here dont try to get rich in 1 day.
I'd never pay that much for a Chevy
Fabio Gimenes Bocato
What I see is a lot of you're paying for a name over an actual product. I deal with a local transmission shop that builds a much better quality transmission for at least half what a TCI product goes for. SSBC makes as nice a brakes as Wildwood and Billet Specialties, most of their wheels are gaudy and overpriced. Jus' sayin'.
Stephen Monroe: It went for $121,000 because it has a brand new TCI chassis, four-link with air-ride, WIlwood big brakes, 510hp big block, deep-lip Billet Specialties wheels, custom leather interior, and a lot more. If you can find a truck with all that for $25k please let us know, we'd buy it in a heartbeat. Just sayin'.
Bryan Bennett
Mecum has truck like that all the time between 50-75k. Barrett Jackson is all flash. Of the autos I did see there were sold way overpriced
Sweet ride. I would replace the bumper though....
Simples assim Pablo Celular...

Letters to the Editor — January 10, 2013
Thursday, January 10, 2013
No automatic connection
The end is near, but not that near
To the Editor:
Chalk up your present embarrassment to having forgotten the warnings of Mt. 24:36 and Acts 1:7 "and gone chasing after strange gods" ... "gods" that failed to stand up against the One True One just like their Celtic, Semitic and Egyptian counterparts (Dt. 32:39 and Isa. 37:20)
Soldiers Helpers needs help
To the Editor:
If you would like further info about us, please e-mail me and I will send you one of our brochures. There are many ways to help and we always need new volunteers. Thank you very much, God Bless and Happy New Year.
Not a good deal
To the Editor:
The winning formula is GDP growth equals more jobs equals more tax revenue plus spending reductions and a strong and stable U.S. dollar results in no (or significantly less) deficit spending and occasionally budget surpluses. The way to GDP growth, as proven through contemporary history, does not begin with increasing taxes. And if you think "rich" people are the only people facing tax increases on January 1, you need to pay closer attention, Our "friends" in Washington did nothing to deal with the expiring payroll tax reductions enacted a couple of years ago, so every American who works will see a tax increase come Jan. 1.
Is this really the best they can do and are we really going to let them continue to do this to us, our children and other future generations?
Iran and Venezuela's income inequality
To the Editor:
The United States is a constitution-based federal republic and devoutly capitalist. Iran is a theocratic republic with a mixed and transition economy with a large public sector. Venezuela, a federal republic, has a market economy in slow transition to a closed socialist economy. We certainly spend a lot of time, energy and capital demonizing Iran, Venezuela and their respective leaders.
The Annual "Kettle Campaign" was successful in spite of tough economic times. We did missed our goal of $135,500 by $10,205 but I am confident that God will take care of our needs as we serve the needs of the community. It is through the raising of these funds that we are in a position to assist those in need within our community, not just during the holidays but throughout the year. We were able to assist nearly 300 families with a Christmas food basket. Over 1,000 children also received toys and clothes from the neediest of families in the area. Some families also received assistance with the payment of utility bills including: heat and electric which has given needy families a great encouragement during this difficult economic time. This assistance is provided as a direct result of the funds raised during Christmas."
Capt. Frank Nataluk
Balanced approach needed on gun control
To the Editor:
We need to ask ourselves some serious questions. Why is it that America, our beloved nation, the land we like to think of as an example for the world, has a higher per capita occurrence of murders and other violent crimes than other Western nations? Why is it that we have more guns per capita than almost any Western nation? Do we have a national attitude that encourages violence? I think we do. I think our regard for rights tends to be a regard for my rights, with an unwillingness to yield to the rights of others; with a willingness to threaten those who we see as threatening personal rights. Sure, a good case can be made for self-defense, and a better one for the use of force to defend those we love, and I'm not going to contest those issues, but surely priority needs to be given to Jesus' words about returning good for evil, for walking the second mile with those who compel us, and the like. I see the incredible number of firearms, the distressing level of violent insanity, the presence everywhere of name-calling and disrespect, and the refusal to listen to those who disagree with us as symptoms, rather than causes, of a deep-seated spiritual illness, far less, but not at all unlike the similar things observed in the Middle East. We need to learn how to be in peace with those that don't agree with us. We need to learn how to deal with differences without going into a rage, without shouting out insults, and certainly without even considering the use of guns. Until that happens, we will have such tragedies.
There is no one answer. What we need is a balanced approach that can use all of these tools in a way to ultimately lessen the climate of violence.
Volunteer as child advocate
To the Editor:
"Five years ago I met Sue, my CASA volunteer. She was the one person who has actually stuck around the entire time. Even when I made mistakes or bad decisions, Sue hung in there with me and kept telling me I could achieve any goal I put my mind to. I could easily have followed my mom's path in life, for a while I was headed in that direction. But with Sue's encouragement and guidance, I am turning my life around. Last year I was accepted into the state independent living program, which meant no more moving all the time. Getting into the program took a lot of hard work and self discipline. Being accepted took a lot of changing my ways and growing up. I could not have done it without my CASA volunteer, Sue. This summer I moved into my very own apartment, which is right across the street from my little sister's school! We see each other every day.
Being a CASA is a life-changing experience. CASA volunteers work with families, social workers, attorneys and judges to ensure safe, permanent homes for these children. They commit to a particular case and visit monthly with the child or children involved. They attend all court hearings on the case and monitor its progress. They spend an average of 8-10 flexible hours a month per case and work with the courts closest to where they live. CASA of NH invites all interested individuals to learn more about the program, download the application, or view the statewide training calendar at their website, www.casanh.org, or to call (800) 626-0622 for more information.

Local counties buck teen tobacco trend: While sales to youths statewide are up 5%, Strafford, Rock. County sales are lower
Friday, December 21, 2012
ROCHESTER — While the state Department of Health and Human Services reports tobacco sales to New Hampshire youths have increased significantly in the last year, retail sales from both Strafford and Rockingham counties show they are below the state average.
"A 5 percent rise is fairly significant," O' Hannon said, noting he believes the increase was due to a lack of staffing at the state Division of Liquor Enforcement and a mix-up in communication with those conducting the compliance checks. He added perhaps retailers knew there would be fewer checks this year as well, and were therefore less compliant.
In Rochester, the most recent YRBS survey from 2011 showed students were above the average of those surveyed who admitted to smoking a whole cigarette before the age of 13. According to the data, 15.2 percent of Spaulding High School and Rochester Middle Schools students said they had a cigarette, compared to the state average of 9.7 percent. The survey also showed 51 percent of students in the Lilac City believe it is very easy to get cigarettes.

About Jason Aldean
Independent, country, crossover recording artist Jason Aldean is writing his own story. Born in Macon, Georgia, Aldean was playing in the house band at the local bar at age 15. Since his self-titled debut album and hit singles "Why" and "Amarillo Sky," Jason Aldean has been winning over the hearts and minds of fans from the beginning.
Jason Aldean began pursuing a music career immediately following high school, landing small gigs in college towns. Aldean privately recorded a small album in the late 90s to sell at his shows, and was discovered by Michael Knox thereafter and signed with Warner-Chapell Publishing, which landed him in Nashville. Without much progress on the label, Jason Aldean was spotted by Broken Bow Records, and the release of his debut self-titled album followed in 2005. Aldean continued to produce new music, and by 2009, his album, Wide Open, yielded three No. 1 singles, "She's Country", "The Truth", and "Big Green Tractor". By 2010, Aldean released My Kind of Party, which had additional success. Aldean's duet with Kelly Clarkson, "Don't You Wanna Stay", his rap and country compilation"Dirt Road Anthem", and hit track "Fly Over States" all reached No. 1, and it didn't stop there. Jason Aldean continued to deliver new material for his fans, releasing Night Train in 2012, and climbed to the top of the country charts once again with the single, "The Only Way I Know".
