The lazarette houses the yachts battery chargers, inverter/charger, Glendinning cable master systems, Kabola diesel heating system as well as offering a tremendous amount of storage.
The engine is very spacious, well arranged with good task lighting. One of the great features of the engine room are the athwart ship mounted fuel tanks that are located between the forward engine room bulkhead and the owners stateroom. The tanks have cross flow lines which allows all tanks to be filled from either side of the yacht. Another great result of this tank installation is the ease of getting around both of Cummins QSM11 engines.
One of the special features on the H580 are the Air Plenums which are located on the inside of the recessed walkways which reduces the salt spray intake into the engine room. The plenums are equipped with screens which further aides in reducing salt spray and is why an engine room is a Hampton is virtually salt/corrosion free.

Howard Archer, chief UK economist at consultancy IHS Global Insight, said: "Flat retail sales in November [are] a significant blow to hopes that the economy can avoid a renewed dip in the fourth quarter."
The seasonally adjusted sales figures, from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), add to the raft of gloomy indicators about the overall state of the sector as retailers prepare for the final few days of the all-important festive trading period.
Sales in the non-specialised category, which takes in department stores, fell by 1.5% month-on-month in November, according to the ONS.
In the textiles, clothing and footwear category, sales volumes fell by 0.1%. However, there was a 3.8% month-on-month jump in household goods sales.
Food sales fell by 0.1% between October and November.
Retail sales volumes had fallen by 0.7% month-on-month in October, according to the ONS.
The flat position in November left sales volumes only 0.9% higher than a year earlier.
And, comparing the three months to November with the June to August period, retail sales were flat.

The Twelfth District Court of Appeals has reversed a conviction for failure to confine a dog. The court held that a dog warden, who approached a sleeping dog in the owner's yard, cannot then charge the owner with failure to confine a dog.
The case is State v. Jackson, 2012-Ohio-5843.
In October, 2011, a Butler County dog warden, found a Great Pyrenees lying alone under a tree on the front side yard of the defendant's property. There was no visible fence confining the dog.
The Officer knocked on the defendant's door, and testified that the dog then came charging at her. The Defendant provided proof of a license for the dog. The officer issued the defendant a warning for failure to display the license and a ticket for failure to confine his dog.
The Defendant was convicted of failure to confine a dog. He was fined $25.
The relevant statute, R.C. 955.22(C), provides:
Except when a dog is lawfully engaged in hunting and accompanied by the owner, keeper, harborer, or handler of the dog, no owner, keeper, or harborer of any dog shall fail at any time to do either of the following: (1) Keep the dog physically confined or restrained upon the premises of the owner, keeper, or harborer by a leash, tether, adequate fence, supervision, or secure enclosure to prevent escape; (2) Keep the dog under the reasonable control of some person.
The defendant argued that no evidence was introduced to show that the dog left the yard on the date in question (or any other date), and that the dog was professionally trained to remain on the property to protect livestock.
The court began "by noting that the statute contains multiple ambiguities" and "that the phrase, 'reasonable control of some person,' is not well-defined .
The court concluded that the statute was not violated because the dog was under the reasonable control of the defendant. The court believed that evidence indicating "that the dog was professionally trained to remain in one location, has never left the property and was not seen by the warden outside the property" was sufficient to satisfy the statute. This is especially true because, as the court noted, "the dog was not out of control, but rather was lying asleep beneath a tree in appellant's yard."

Image paranoia is getting the best of the NBA
By Jemele Hill
Page 2
Matt Millen's query about the absence of a player's male anatomy was before its time. Millen -- or anyone else for that matter -- should be posing that same question to NBA commissioner David Stern.
There are so many good things going on in the NBA right now, but the league's hypersensitivity makes you forget that Phoenix, Dallas, Detroit and San Antonio have revived the concept of team basketball and what terrific ambassadors Steve Nash and Dwyane Wade have become.
David Stern has the NBA pointed in an elitist direction.
The post-Palace-brawl era in the NBA is a lot like the post-9/11 era -- full of fear, worry, paranoia and hysteria.
I feel for Stern because he has the difficult task of marketing a mostly black league to mainstream America -- which guarantees that any offenses will be overblown and that everything is treated as worst-case scenario.
But I don't like the NBA right now, and it has nothing to do with the product on the floor. The NBA feels like a dividing force. It feels polarizing, unappealing and elitist.
The greatest thing about the Magic-Bird-Isiah-Jordan era was that the game easily crossed and meshed racial, cultural and class lines.
But that's not the case anymore. It feels as though there is a class war going on, with the NBA going overboard to distance itself from the urban roots that turned it into a global icon. Subliminally and overtly, the message is being sent that this game -- the one that is so fantastic -- should be enjoyed and patronized only by certain people.
And you know exactly who I mean by "certain people."
Phil Jackson was right. There is a "witch hunt" in the NBA -- only it's not directed at Kobe Bryant.
It's directed at anyone who dares to defy or threaten the vanilla league Stern is sorely attempting to create.
That's why His Commissionership has dished out $110,000 in fines -- or a little more than what Pacman Jones takes to the strip club -- to Phil Jackson, Danny Ainge, Michael Jordan and Don Nelson in the past week.
Stern used to be a visionary, but he's operating like that aggravating hall monitor in middle school everyone wanted to push down the stairs. But instead of handing out demerits and stonewalling trips to the bathroom, Stern is using the almighty wallet as target practice.
How amazing is it that $60,000 of those fines came because of one player -- Texas star Kevin Durant? I'm sure the mention of Durant in this column will prompt Stern to hit me up for 50 bucks.
It's so frustrating to watch the NBA police itself to death and try to control things it can't.
People who believe the NBA is full of thugs will think that way no matter what. The NBA could play Paul Anka at every arena, ban rappers from NBA games, enforce haircuts and short shorts, but that isn't going to stop hip-hop fans from loving the game.
If anything, the NBA's tactics are only heightening the perception that the league is "full of thugs."
(By the way, 15 minutes have passed has a NFL player been arrested or questioned in connection with a crime?)
The more Stern tries to fix the NBA's reputed image problem, the faster the league becomes less enjoyable and more elitist.
Even though moving the All-Star Game to Paris was discussed a couple of years ago, the idea of taking the event overseas is gaining momentum because of the criticism the league took after this year's game in Vegas.
It's too bad Stern doesn't have the guts to admit it was a poorly conceived idea to hold the game in a city that prides itself on unlawfulness, which -- gasp! -- definitely would draw unlawful types. Instead, Stern is kowtowing to hysteria once again, using the game's worldwide flavor as an excuse to take the event elsewhere.
Speaking of Vegas, let's revisit that topic for a moment, shall we? That weekend boils down to this: Some people had a really good time. Others thought it was a cross between the last 40 minutes of the movie "Heat" and a Friday night in Compton.
But no matter what your experience was, it is unfair and irresponsible to indict a league (or an entire race) because some people behaved badly in a city where being law-abiding is rarely encouraged.
Excuse me for tensing up when I hear people describing the scene in Vegas as "thug" and "urban" because the suspicious part of me can't help but wonder if what they're really saying is that All-Star Weekend has become too low-class and black and it's time to move it someplace where those differences aren't as noticeable.
Look, I was fine with the dress code and, to some degree, with the increased scrutiny on players' interaction with officials. But I don't like an NBA that fosters and encourages an us-vs.-them approach.
Because Millen isn't here to pose the question, I'll ask Mr. Stern personally: Where hast thine anatomy gone?

are here: Home > Our Cities & Our
The people of Beaver county possess a heritage dating back to Joseph
Smith, founder of the Mormon church in 1830. Most of the people
living in Beaver County are descended from the Mormon pioneers sent by
Brigham Young to inhabit this area. Many of the black rock and
pink stone homes built by those pioneers still exist. The Mormon
virtues along with excellent cooking, beautiful quilts and needlework
are still inherent in the everyday life of Beaver County.
Although small,
our area has a rich history and each town has something to offer.
Beaver City Homepage. Beaver City, easily accessed by exits 109 and 112 off Interstate 15,
is the county seat and the largest city in the county. It
provides all services as well as activities such as golf, access to
the Paiute ATV trail, indoor swimming pool, gun club, and horse
races. The log cabin visitors center on Main street has displays
of pioneer artifacts and information.
--Historic County Court House in Beaver
32 miles west
off I-15, Milford was originally a railroad and mining town. A new,
Spanish style, railroad depot was just completed. Both Amtrak
and Union Pacific Trains still stop in Milford. Due to the
abounding minerals in the surrounding desert and mountains, Milford
has a rich mining past. Many of the buildings from times past
can still be seen on Main street.
--Old home in Beaver
is 5 miles west of Beaver City and one mile south of U-21. Named for
the lush green meadows and fields that surround the area, Greenville
was settled in 1860 by Mormon Pioneers who originally lived in rough
log cabins and adobe homes. Farming and cattle ranching can be
found through out the area.
Sulphurdale is
just north of Beaver City off I-15. Boasting the only pure steam
site in the United States, Sulphurdale is home to a major geothermal
plant. The area is especially well known for its excellent
hunting. Visitors can freely hunt on non-posted areas or can
seek permission to hunt on posted areas.
is located 18 miles west of 1-15 and sits in a small picturesque
valley surrounded by mountains with a meandering river nearby. It was
first settled as a mining town where silver, gold and lead were
mined. Its main industry is dairy farming. Each August,
the Beaver County Fair is held in Minersville.
If you travel west from Beaver City, you'll find a number of other resorts, hotels, timeshare resales, and campgrounds to choose from. Be sure to stop by the ghost towns in Western Beaver County including Frisco, a former mining town and a great place for rockhounding
Frisco is now an historic ghost town, but was once home to 4000
miners. After a collapse in the mine many years ago, the town
basically dried up. It is home to a wonderful old cemetery that
you shouldn't miss visiting.

Little Girls
Here, I deal with the bond that little girls have with one another and the bond we have as women with our inner little girls. These bonds are essential for holding onto all of the wonderful characteristics we are born with. But in this painting, the little girls confront the viewer with all the dolls that surround them; the question that penetrates through the canvas is the question of how girls are betrayed. The marching dolls at the front of the canvas portrayed in different hues are all wearing price tags. The dolls represent both isolation and direct confrontation of what all of this means to the girls and their futures.

The Origins of the Verbum Dei
The VDMF was founded by Rev. Jaime Bonet, who was born on May 21, 1926 in Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands of Spain.
When Jaime was 14-years old, in a simple and personal prayer, he discovered the existence of a personal God and the call to announce God's love to all people, especially those who most needed God's love. It was from this experience of Jaime's first dialogue with God in prayer that we glimpse the seed that would found the Verbum Dei Missionary Fraternity 23 years later.
- A Preacher from His Youth
- The "Schools of Evangelization"
- The First Members of the Verbum Dei
- The Approval of the Three Branches
- The First Formation Courses (Novitiate) and Foundations of the Verbum Dei
- A New Form of Consecrated Life in the Church
A Preacher from His Youth
In the years before his ordination, the young Jaime dedicated himself to the preaching of the Word of God to all groups of people: from the gypsies of the peripheral neighborhoods of Palma, Mallorca to his own seminarian companions in the Mayor de Nuestra Señora de la Sapiencia where he studied Theology. After his ordination, Jaime began an apostolic movement in Mallorca through giving spiritual exercises and holding retreat encounters throughout the island.
The "Schools of Evangelization"
Jaime consequently began to hold "Schools of Evangelization" where the laity, both adults and young adults, were given formation on how to proclaim the Word of God. It was from these "schools" that many lay groups began to offer to preach the Gospel, accompanying the proclamation with a living testimony of the Gospel and a spirit of prayer.
In 1963, a group of young women who belonged to these "Schools of Evangelization," asked Jaime if it would be possible to consecrate their lives completely with the lifestyle of a preacher as Jaime had been bringing up with his preaching: the total dedication to proclaiming the Gospel by means of prayer and the ministry of the Word.
The First Members of the Verbum Dei
"The initiative for the founding moment of the VDMF came from Bishop Enciso Viana, since initially Jaime never wanted to found this new community. It is an important experience for Jaime that he never desired, nor envisioned a community, but that the way he lived and preached caused in others a desire of consecration and dedication to the 'Word of God-Verbum Dei' that surpassed his interest and by far his expectations." (Prinz, Endangering Hunger for God, 2005)
Thus, months after the opening of the Second Vatican Council in 1962, on January 17, 1963 the first group of consecrated women of the Verbum Dei was approved as a lay association with the name Misioneras diocesanas de la Palabra de Dios, under Bishop Enciso Viana. The motto of their dedication was already "orationi et ministerio verbi instantes erimus." (Acts 6:4 – "We shall dedicate ourselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word"). "Bishop Enciso Viana died on September 21, 1964—during the time of the Vatican II council – and Bishop Rafael Alvarez Lara became his successor on March 10, 1965." (Prinz, 2005)
However, the fruit of Jaime's continuous work of preaching reached further still; more groups of young adults and even some Diocesan priests drew close to this particular way of life and the spirit of mission that Jaime lived.
Hence, in 1969 two priests obtained permission from the Bishop to be part of the Verbum Dei.
Simultaneously, a married couple also wanted to have a lifestyle similar to these first missionary women and men, but in a way appropriate to their state of life as a married couple. Jaime's apostolic spirit and openness led him to accept the couple's petition to be formed and dedicated to evangelization according to the spirit of the Charism. They became the first married couple of the Consecrated Married Couples branch of the VDMF.
The Approval of the Three Branches
"In 1969, under Bishop Alvarez Lara, the Verbum Dei was approved with its three branches: consecrated women, priests (at this moment they were diocesan priests who received the permission from the Bishop to be part of the new group) and married couples as the 'Apostolic Institute Verbum Dei', in the form of a Pious Union." (Prinz, 2005)
From this married couple and the groups of young adult missionary women and men, many other young adults and married couples entered the community with the desire to fulfill their baptismal vocation according to this particular style of life and dedication to prayer and ministry of the Word.
The First Formation Courses (Novitiate) and Foundations of the Verbum Dei
In 1965, the first female Verbum Dei Formation Course (novitiate) was situated in the Sanctuary of Santa Lucia in the village of Mancor del Valle, Mallorca. The novitiate was under the direction of Rev. Jaime Bonet and had the support of the best theologians of the Diocese. In 1966, a group of Verbum Dei missionary sisters went to Rome to study in the Regina Mundi Pontifical Institute, which had been an institution recently established for the theological formation of religious women. At that same time, another group of VDMF sisters left to found a Verbum Dei community in Piura, Peru.
One year later, in 1967, another group of VDMF sisters moved to the vicinity of Madrid where the Comillas Pontifical University (Madrid), for the first time in Spain, had opened its doors to women for theological studies. Likewise, the first Verbum Dei Consecrated Missionary Married Couple, together with a group from both the male and female Branches of the VDMF were established in Bilbao, forming "Schools of Evangelization" whilst pursuing their theological studies.
In 1977, as a fruit of the one month spiritual exercises, a new missionary strategic plan of expansion brought the Verbum Dei into all the continents of the world.
Through the related dynamic of prayer, proclamation, missionary preparation and expansion, the 1980s and 1990s saw new foundations of the VDMF and the creation of the St. Paul the Apostle Verbum Dei Institute of Theology. The St. Paul Institute of Theology is affiliated with the Urbaniana Pontifical University in Rome, which specializes in missiology.
The annual one-month spiritual exercises of the members of the Verbum Dei also became a privileged means of growing and deepening on the Charism. From these spiritual exercises, the community continued configuring its characteristics and specific means of living out the Charism, which seeks to be a visible witness of life and consecration. The spiritual exercises are thus a permanent revitalizing of the missionary desire in the members of the VDMF.
Simultaneously, Centers of Evangelization were being set up in different places of the new Verbum Dei foundations with the objective of being a hub of evangelical life and evangelization.
A New Form of Consecrated Life in the Church
With the growing and expansion of the Verbum Dei, Jaime desired that the VDMF become canonically recognized more appropriately with respect to its then existing status as a Pious Union.
It was also in this decade of the 1990s that the Holy See studied and reflected on the existence and states of a large number of new associations and apostolic movements that had emerged during the Second Vatican Council and the post-conciliar times. The Synod of Bishops for Consecrated Life convened to study these new communities and the manner in which they were to juridically configure these new forms of consecrated life. Jaime had also been especially invited as a guest to be present at the Synod.
Hence, as an intermediate stage until the VDMF's definitive approval, on the 25th of January, 1993 (the feast of St. Paul's Conversion, co-patron saint of the VDMF; the other patron saint of the VDMF is our Blessed Mother, Mary), the Archbishop of Madrid, Cardinal D. Angelo Suquía, approved the branches of both the consecrated women and the consecrated men of Verbum Dei as two separate religious institutes; five months later, on May 29, 1993, the married couples' branch of the community was approved as a 'Public Association of the Faithful'. And on May 30, 1993, the community was approved with the status of Federation of the Verbum Dei Ecclesial Fraternity.
"However, Jaime's continuous vision pointed to an integral unity of all three branches of the community, and consequently the Holy See approved all the three branches with the structure of one sole institute on April 15, 2000, thereby safeguarding its unity. Hence, Verbum Dei was pontifically approved with its three branches as one Fraternity of Consecrated Life. The innovative category of New Forms of Consecrated Life at the Institute for Consecrated Life at the Holy Sees was applied to the VDMF." (Prinz, 2005).

Questions on Granola with Blueberries and Milk
- From David at 11/24/14 7:00 AM
- The front of the package says "Serves 1" but the back says it's 2 servings - is it 1 large serving or enough for 2 "average" adults?
- Hey David,
Thank you for your question.
In my experience, I find that "2" servings with most dehydrated meals equates to one full meal for one average person. This, of course, will depend on your hunger and preferred meal size though!
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Best regards,

Bear Country Camping

Bears & camping
Done a lot of camping in bear country and have narrowed down my deterrents based on location. When in the states I use Bear Spray and a pistol. The pistol may be my S&W model 29 44 MAG or my Judge revolver which is a 45 long Colt with possibility of also using 410 shot shells in the chamber.
In Canada (NO PISTOLS ALLOWED) I bring along Bear Spray and my marine signal flare pistol. The 12 ga. signal flare pistol is made by ORION and is mandatory for me to carry on my boat while fishing tournaments on The Great Lakes and Green Bay. It is an Orange plastic pistol that has a strap on the bottom that carries six projectiles that are flares. The burn time is 7 seconds. The sound is like a 12 ga shotgun. This is the most effective when a real gun is not allowed as in Canada. Of course you have to use it wisely as if it is dry you can start a fire. You also have to use the spray wisely as if you have a slight breeze back in your direction you get sprayed. I recommend you get one and learn how to take the locking device off and see how they spray. I tell the people I have a flare gun and bear spray when asked about weapons at the border crossings. Some want to see it and I have it in my tank bag along with the spray. If questioned I tell them I keep it in my boat while in Canada and bring it on my motorcycle to be safe while camping.
Have done the Dalton, Dempster, Denali, Trans Lab and The Cassiar. Most bears per day on the Cassiar. Will be going up to D2D again via the Cassiar this June.
Bears can be a real hassle. One from Northern Wisconsin killed a lot of livestock and family pets. It was on my property eating apples. I made a phone call to the sheriff and he said shoot it if I could. I shot it with my bow and is now a rug in my sun room.
Another is a nice bear rug in my basement. During a houseboat trip on Lac Seul in Canada he wanted to participate in our Friday Night Fishfry with ten of us. I had a Spring bear permit at the time and he got to spend some time in the freezer on the way home. Ontario has since suspended spring bear hunts so there are a lot of them in the areas I fish.
Using my spray or flare gun is a last resort as the spray cost a lot of money and the flares can cause a fire. I recommend practicing how this stuff works before you try to use it.

The certificate issued by the Board was then and has continued to signify a certification of attainment. It does not confer any legal qualification, privilege, or license to practice orthodontics. It is not a professional or academic degree.

OMG. Did I really say I'd blog five times a month here at ForbesWoman.com? Was I nuts to start in February, when the paperback edition of my book on women, power, and leadership is coming out on Leap Day, and I'm chasing my tail 95 ways to Sunday? I call No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How we Think About Power, my study of women's relationship with power and leadership, "the little book that could," but it seems like I can't.
There's so much to do that I keep doing the urgent but not the important, which is to get this blog up and running.
I'm hyperventilating.
No, I'm absolutely frozen with fear.
Reason #1: I am daunted at learning a new and different blogging system. The fifteen page manual they sent me to show me how just made the fear and resistance worse. They've got to be kidding. And what are these things with names I never heard of, like "Headline Grabs" and ""Vest Pocket?"
Reason #2: Had oral surgery on one side of my mouth and then a tooth crumbled on the other side, so I was living on soup and smoothies for a week. Who can write and learn a new blogging system under those conditions?
Reason #3: Twitter. Must tweet. Now. Five people are waiting for me to play my turn on Words With Friends. And should I do Pinterest? These are issues of enormous import to my life.
Reason #4: Friends from out of town drop in. A friend has business difficulty and needs moral support. A friend is facing serious illness. These truly are issues of great import.
Reason #5: I had to prepare my power point for the webinar I'm doing for the Junior League next week. Really love the new template I found, white with arty looking red blocks here and there.
Reason #6: Media interviews. Everyone knows you have to drop everything when they want to talk with you about your book. Or anything else.
Reason #7: This week, UN Commission on the Status of Women is going on, and I have responsibilities to US Women Connect, a national organization I co-chair, to attend meetings on three days and appear on this panel exploring women's leadership in a new world another day. I'm taking volumes of notes but they're too incoherent to turn into blog posts yet. They will, though. I know they will. One speaker yesterday said, "Women are greatest victims of war and have the greatest stake in peace." I turn that paradox around in my mind and fantasize about what I might write that would seriously enthrall readers of this blog, how the idea applies to far more wide reaching aspects of life than armed conflicts.
Reason #8: Hangnail. No, worse, I haven't had a professional manicure for three weeks. Nails are a mess. Fretting about this.
Reason #9: I want to write great posts that focus on practical leadership challenges and women's relationship with power and leadership, memorable posts that will add real value and cut through the information overload that plagues all of us in this wired world.
I take my writing way too seriously, set the standards impossibly high. And then I freeze.
Oh, so that's what this is about.
The only way I get over fear freeze is to take action. To jump into the deep end of the pool without looking down. To do something, even if it's wrong. So here I go. Even if I don't yet know what in the heck a Headline Grab is.
You're going to love my post on the next great leap for women tomorrow.

Sep 29 2008
I first had Migas in Austin, Texas, when I was visiting my sister, Betsy, and her techie-nerd husband, Matt. Because I woke up one morning during my stay with a raging case of LBSCBDO, Betsy and Matt drove me to a quaint little restaurant that resembled a tiny house. Then I started crying and carrying on. "I want an Egg McMuffin!" I shouted, dying for breakfast at McDonald's. All I want in my life is breakfast at McDonald's.
"No," they said. "You need Migas."
"But I want Hot Cakes & Sausage!" I screamed.
"Just wait 'til you try the Migas," they said.
After having a good, cleansing cry, I decided to give in. First of all, we were in Matt's car and I had no way of getting out of there. Second, in my fit of LBSCBDO rage, I'd left my purse behind and had no money to purchase said Egg McMuffin or Hot Cakes, and I was in NO mood to wash dishes. Third, although I was missing a rare opportunity to eat breakfast at McDonalds, I was a little intrigued by the name of the dish. Migas? What was this strange dish?
I would soon find out. Migas, in a word, is heavenly. In another word, divine. In another word, dadgum delicious! I was instantly hooked, and spent the next several months perfecting my own version.
Unless you've visited or lived in the Southwest, you probably haven't heard of Migas, a delightfully flavorful scrambled egg dish made fabulous with the addition of bell peppers, jalapenos, onions, cheese, and—the best part—fried, chopped corn tortillas. The corn tortillas absolutely make the dish, and while some more, ahem, "health conscious" eaters elect simply to warm or grill the tortillas prior to adding them to the skillet, I find they're best when fried in oil, then chopped. Once they're stirred into the egg mixture, they soften and take on the beautiful flavors of the eggs, onions, and peppers. It's enough to make a person moan, which is what you'll do as soon as you sink your teeth into this wonderful breakfast dish.
Let's make it, mis amigas!
Begin by roughly chopping onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and tomato. Then very finely dice a fresh jalapeno, removing the seeds if you can't HANDLE the heat.
Next, grate some cheese. Monterey Jack works well, or you can use a Mexican Cotija (pictured here.)
I love Mexican Cotija.
Then mix some eggs with half & half and whisk together.
Finally, fry up some corn tortillas until crisp. I use a small skillet with about 1/2 cup vegetable oil heated to medium.
If the oil's hot, it should only take about 30 seconds on each side to crisp 'em up.
Don't let 'em get brown; just fry 'em 'til they're no longer floppy.
Yes, I just said "floppy."
When they're fried, stack them up on a cutting board.
And pressing down with a sharp knife, cut the tortillas into strips…
Then turn then in other direction and cut them into a large dice.
Now it's time to get serious. Very, very serious.
Begin by heating a mixture of oil and butter in a large skillet. Add the onions and peppers…
And cook until they start getting nice and brown. This'll probably take 3 or 4 minutes. Don't let 'em get too soft!
Next, add the chopped tomatoes…
And continue cooking for 30 seconds or so, just to warm them up.
Now for the fun part: Throw in the fried tortilla pieces!
Stir them around, then toss in the diced jalapeno. Stir around and reduce the heat to low.
If I had all the words of all the great poets of the world at my disposal, I still would not be able to express to you how wonderful this smells.
Now, pour in the egg mixture. You just want the pan to be mildly hot; you don't want to brown the eggs at all.
Browned eggs. YUCK. That's a flavor right up there with tea and bananas in my book. BLECH. PPPTTTTHT.
Now, the secret here is to cook the eggs, gently folding the mixture with a spatula. Definitely don't stir or beat up the mixture…just fold. Gently fold.
You'll know then the eggs are done; they'll be set but not overly dry.
At the very end, throw in a generous amount of grated cheese.
And plenty of chopped cilantro! C'mon people—if you think you don't like cilantro, give it one more try.
Did you know that in college, I was one of those people who hated cilantro? I tasted the offensive soapy taste so many of you have mentioned. But I persevered. I fought many battles. And I came out a victor! I won! And now I eat cilantro daily!
The same thing can happen to you if only you'd open your heart.
Speaking of opening your heart. Goodness gracious. You must experience Migas at least once in your life.
Preferably, this morning.
That is what I wish for you, my dear friends.
Posted with love by Ree Drummond.

This looks wonderful – as does anything with fried corn tortillas of course. Will be giving a try for sure!
rabidparadise On Monday, September 29 at 9:02 am
Wow! A recipe I actually have already made and love! I'm so proud!
Amy On Monday, September 29 at 9:02 am
Doesn't migas mean "crumbs"? Looks fantastic!
I will make this here in Guatemala, where I'm trying to learn to live in a Spanish speaking world. My little girls are doing better than I am Black beans are definitely a breakfast staple here. Was introduced to your site about a month ago. Enjoying it!
Mona On Monday, September 29 at 9:02 am
Looks delicious!
However, I have to ask, did you get a new camera or are trying something new? The pics don't look quite the same as all your other ones??? I don't know, not as crisp and clean and filled with light.
But hey, what do I know, I know nothing about picture taking or cameras……..I was just wondering.
mosheep/Denise On Monday, September 29 at 9:03 am
This looks so good.
I will give them a try maybe over the weekend.
Thanks for another great recipe.
kelli smith On Monday, September 29 at 9:03 am
Wow this a recipe perfect to demonstrate in my classroom. So going to be next weeks demo. thanks
Carol On Monday, September 29 at 9:03 am
My family LOVES migas. My mother-in-law taught me how to make them 32 years ago and they are a staple in our house.
Tammy On Monday, September 29 at 9:07 am
that looks delish…..just need some fresh salsa on top!
CraftLady On Monday, September 29 at 9:09 am
My husband's family introduced me to this dish. They don't put in the tomatoes, onions etc. Just eggs and tortillas and sometimes chorizo. I like it eggs, tortillas and cheese.
One suggestion: I cut up the tortillas and fry them in a little oil and then add the rest. It's alot easier than frying the tortilla first and then chopping.
Stephanie On Monday, September 29 at 9:09 am
I have tried, really tried to love cilantro.My favorite Mexican joint puts it in their salsa. Oh sure, I'll slurp it down but I just don't love it. It seems sweet to me and not in a good way. Sweet like the stench of clove cigaretts which, by the way make me wanna vomit. Mind you I am an ex-smoker but those damn cloves..yick.
Thunja On Monday, September 29 at 9:09 am
Thanks SO much for this one Ree. After you mentioned them while in Austin I asked you for a recipe and I watched and I hoped that you would tell me how to make them.
carson On Monday, September 29 at 9:10 am
There must be a great big rock in New Mexico where all the migas have been hiding, because I've never heard of them. How can that be? Well, I've heard of them now and they'll be on the breakfast table by morning…or maybe on the dinner table by tonight. Thanks!
Ruth Ann in East Texas On Monday, September 29 at 9:10 am
this looks great; will have to try it; cilantro is like curry; if you use tooooo much of it, it ruins the dish!! a little goes a long way with either one of those!
Laurie Mom of 3 On Monday, September 29 at 9:10 am
Oh my! What I would pay to have someone come make this for me right NOW! Yum-O
Vicki On Monday, September 29 at 9:11 am
That looks gorgeous. I'm one of those people who say they really like mexican food but I'm really just your average ignoramous; all I've really had is the usual burritos and nachos etc. It must be great living so close to another country that has a different food culture. Stuck here on this island (england) we don't have any close neighbours to learn the delights of different foods from!
I'll be giving this one a go!
mary On Monday, September 29 at 9:12 am
i make similar tortilla strips when making tortilla soup, and i generally cut them before frying them by layering them and using a pizza cutter to make strips!! its a great time saver/cleaner.
Emily On Monday, September 29 at 9:13 am
The BEST migas in Austin are from Juan in a Million – we used to go there every Sunday after church when we lived in Austin. They knew our order when we walked in and had our drinks waiting for us. Theirs were smothered in queso and not so many veggies.

I love migas. Around these parts, every restaurant makes them differently. There's a funny little diner around the corner that makes this, but doesn't call it migas, they call it Heavenly Hash
Katie On Monday, September 29 at 9:17 am
I'm on vacation, but as soon as I get home, I'm making these because there's not one thing in them that I do not love!
Erin On Monday, September 29 at 9:17 am
It sounds like you had gone to Trudy's down there in Austin.
Mmmm – the best migas ever (although, your's look pretty good).
Diane in Cincinnati On Monday, September 29 at 9:18 am
It all sounded so good but I have to say, it looks like mush. Have you tried adding the black beans into the mixture rather than serving as a side?? Is that a dollop of sour cream? Everything tastes better with sour cream!!!
Kelly On Monday, September 29 at 9:18 am
Ohhhh MIGAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassss! When I was moving to Austin, a friend of my friends insisited I come to their house for Migas since they were from Austin and really wanted me to get a pre-Austin sendoff. I've been in love with Migas ever since….AND Austin. Wish I still lived there. *sigh*
ms ellie On Monday, September 29 at 9:19 am
Looks like a great campout meal! Can't wait to try it.
Maybe some homemade salsa on top. yummy. I feel a wave of LBSCBDO coming on. Better head to Mickey D's. Bye.
Erinn Forrest On Monday, September 29 at 9:21 am
Yum! I will have to try this sometime this weekend!

I have a rachel ray dinner recipe that calls for a stir fry like this, only with ground beef, not eggs. yum-o

I totally have LBSCBD. It is very real.
Chasee On Monday, September 29 at 9:25 am
Because I'm from Austin, I'm dying to know which restaurant you went to.
mmmm, migas. Nothing better on a lazy weekend.
leslie h (in MD) On Monday, September 29 at 9:26 am
This sounds very much like my standard breakfast throw-in-what-you've-got stirred-up-egg thingy, minus the tortillos, of course! There are people here in MD, which is South of the Mason-Dixon line, so technically 'Southern' in cuisine, that would dump hot sauce on top of that lovely concoction of yours. I think they are nuts.
And thanks for the help spelling PPPTTTTHT. I have a card image that just screams for this word (is it a word, really?), but I could never figure out how to spell it.
Deb Sheffield On Monday, September 29 at 9:26 am
Migas does mean "crumbs" in Latin America…but this recipe sounds MUCH better than crumbs ever could! Gotta' love anything with cilantro in it…IMO! Thanks, Ree!
Loving Annie On Monday, September 29 at 9:26 am
Good Monday morning to you, Ree ! How are you ?
You've done it yet again…. moan… Another fabulous sounding recipe. I can almost taste it. I'm salivating. Okay, this HAS to be the next thing I make ! YUMMM in advance…
If you and Father Ryan are heading up a fat conspiracy, it's working
Karen On Monday, September 29 at 9:27 am
Now you're making me home sick as I know exactly which restaurant you're talking about. Sigh. Thanks for the recipe though as now I can make something similar at home!
Sally On Monday, September 29 at 9:27 am
Those look fantastic. I wish I could find a recipe like my daughter enjoyed when she was in Spain for a summer.
BOSSY On Monday, September 29 at 9:34 am
You had Bossy at LBSzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Michelle On Monday, September 29 at 9:38 am
I love this dish!!! We ate this often at my Granny's house, but minus all the "greens" We added a nice red sauce on the top with lot's of cheese. YUM. I like the greens.
I want this for dinner tonight. YUM.
RothRandom On Monday, September 29 at 9:38 am
I think that recipe can be altered a bit into a nice steak omelette like the one at iHOP. YUMMMMMM. But I'll definitely have to try this recipe sometime. You think yellow or vidalia onion can substitute red onion?
Bri On Monday, September 29 at 9:39 am
That looks so good… I'm with Bossy, you had me at LBSCBDO (cept I've had a cup of coffee and am not likely to fall asleep on my keyboard JUST yet, give me a few hours). I'll just have to make these for dinner one night this week. I don't think I can wait till the weekend!
Lyn Never On Monday, September 29 at 9:40 am
Definitely check out chilaquiles with salsa verde. Next time you're in Austin, ask to go to Las Manitas on Congress at 2nd. Get the chilaquiles. Have your mind blown. (Tip, if you sit on the back patio you get to walk through the kitchen.)
Christina in NM On Monday, September 29 at 9:43 am
I love migas. When I make them, I shortcut the fried tortillas part. Instead, I use tortilla chips and I add them in toward the end, so that they're still a bit crunchy. I also sometimes add some drained black beans. mmm.
Sheila On Monday, September 29 at 9:44 am
I can hear my arteries slamming shut . . . ;-0
Pat On Monday, September 29 at 9:49 am
You mentioned the migas when you were in Austin, so I knew we'd be getting the recipe eventually! I had actually forgotten about it, but I'm glad you didn't forget! They look great and I'll definitely be trying them out.
Oh, by the way, if you wanted me to try this dish this morning, you'd have to get it posted here waaaaaay earlier than this! I have to be to work at 6:30 AM!

I live in Austin and yes agree that Migas are a wonderfully tasty breakfast here in Texas. We like to eat migas by spooning this into a tortilla and eating with hot sauce.

Lina On Monday, September 29 at 9:52 am
Perfect! I live on Central Coast of California with access to the BEST mexican food…but have never had migas! My Army son is coming home for a long weekend and he is a mexican food FREAK so I'm definitely making this WITH the jalapeno membranes cuz we like it hot!
mary beth On Monday, September 29 at 9:52 am

perfect budget concious dinner too!
Erin On Monday, September 29 at 9:56 am
Thanks for recipe – we love Migas but I've never attempted to cook them. I will definitely be doing it now!
Oh, and I love me some hotcakes and sausage!
Melissa On Monday, September 29 at 9:57 am
Try adding a dash of comino (cumin) to it
laura~texasokie On Monday, September 29 at 9:58 am
I make this for my husband a lot. But I tear the pieces of tortillas first and then fry them. It makes it easier than frying them whole and then cutting them. We also put them in a tortilla for a taquito and add some homemade salsa. Yummy!
Barb On Monday, September 29 at 9:59 am
sounds delicious!

Kate On Monday, September 29 at 10:01 am
Gotta love migas.
And I'm so with you on the horrors of browned eggs! The only thing worse than the taste is the smell- Blech. Haunts a kitchen for Hours!
Annie in Indiana On Monday, September 29 at 10:01 am
I like your fiesta.
Kirstin On Monday, September 29 at 10:02 am
Yummy, but sigh…I think I'm the only one in my house who would love it. I'll just have to come to your house.
Chelle On Monday, September 29 at 10:02 am
looks yummy! Did MM eat 'em?
kelliebean On Monday, September 29 at 10:02 am
Oh, I've so missed migas…I think I know what we're having tomorrow morning!
crystal On Monday, September 29 at 10:04 am
I grew up eating this stuff for breakfast. You are soo cultured, Ree! I really appreciate the variety you provide with your recipes. And the authenticity…props! What other white lady would use cotija cheese?
My mom used to save (still does) the hardened, leftover tortillas and use them to make this. Except she calls the dish Chilaquiles, and serves it with refried beans. Yummy! We make tacos with corn tortillas out of the chilaquiles and beans…which is kinda redundant. Tortillas with more tortillas…
Thanks for this great recipe!!!
Whitney On Monday, September 29 at 10:04 am
I love Migas! It makes my Texan heart happy
Where did you have them in Austin?
Nancy On Monday, September 29 at 10:05 am
Ree, I live in Texas and am 48 yrs old. If I don't like cilantro by now….. I'm never going to.
Sigh, smells like old shoes to me….
Fiona On Monday, September 29 at 10:06 am
I LOVE Migas…I still remember the first time I had them, in Georgia of all places too! In Savannah! I think I need to make them this week:)
Devon On Monday, September 29 at 10:09 am
There are so many different recipes for Migas. In my family our recipe came straight from Spain, and it is a poor man's meal. Made with eggs and flour, along with a couple other ingredients. It comes out like little dough pieces.
We always serve it with peppers and Rhomahon, which is water, vinegar and apples.
Renee On Monday, September 29 at 10:12 am
Wow…never even knew this type of recipe existed. I'm going to try and make a low carb version of it.
linda On Monday, September 29 at 10:12 am
I have been wanting to make Migas ever since I saw them on the Serious Eats site and lo and behold you have given me the impetus to really go ahead and make them. I can't wait to have this on my plate and look out stomach here it comes.
Candace On Monday, September 29 at 10:13 am
Oooh those look so good! i love cilantro too, but my hubby doesn't like it. The man will eat just about anything, but put some cilantro in his food and he doesn't like it. I don't understand it – it just isn't right.
Tobie On Monday, September 29 at 10:15 am
If you liked Migas, you'd probably like Chilaquiles. I had them for breakfast every morning I was in Mazatlan last Christmas. So yummy!
Bob On Monday, September 29 at 10:17 am
Oh. Wow.
cecelia On Monday, September 29 at 10:18 am
Mmm…I could smell that through the screen. Thanks! I didn't used to like cilantro either, I swear it used to taste soapy…however I love it now. Strange things happen life. The photograph of the milk pouring down into the eggs is simple and spectacular and perfect. Thank you so much for being such a great photographer and for sharing your art. p.s. thanks for this recipe too, it will be on my breakfast table soon.
zoom On Monday, September 29 at 10:22 am
Migas, Tex-mex at it's finest. I too love a little bean action on the side. Plus,l add avocodoes to anything Mexican. Oh lands, you made me happy this morning.
Martha Sue On Monday, September 29 at 10:23 am
golly… that looks and sounds soooooooooooo good…
Sandra in Phx On Monday, September 29 at 10:23 am
A little bit of chorizo mixed in would be heavenly! I have all the ingredients in my fridge right now…I am hoping they will hold until Saturday.
Alexis On Monday, September 29 at 10:25 am
Yummy, yummy, yummy!
Kiran On Monday, September 29 at 10:26 am
Yummylicious! I love any Mexican food. Would definitely give this recipe a try!
Kristi On Monday, September 29 at 10:27 am
We had Migas yesterday for Breakfast WE LOVE them. We create the jap, onion, tomato into a queso and pour it over the top of the egg tortilla mixture and then eat it in tacos. YUMMY!!
Jean Marie On Monday, September 29 at 10:27 am
Good use of my left over corn tortillas – thanks!!
Kara On Monday, September 29 at 10:31 am
I like to use leftover tortilla chips for migas. And by leftover, I mean the bottom quarter of any bag of tostitos that has managed to enter my home. Those are already in small enough pieces. No frying or chopping required.
Christy On Monday, September 29 at 10:33 am
That looks pretty yummy!
liz On Monday, September 29 at 10:35 am
holy deliciousness! thanks. the saturday brunch gang is going to love you yet again!
Shan On Monday, September 29 at 10:35 am
Ooh that looks yummy! If you weren't a fan of cilantro, what would you add in it's place?
Choosy Beggar Tina On Monday, September 29 at 10:38 am
I love breakfast eggs in all of their incarnations, but particularly when done Mexicali style!
I also share your passion for Cotija and only wish i could get it here.
Moonburst37 On Monday, September 29 at 10:39 am
Of all the things holy and sanct HOW could you EVER want an egg mcmuffin over MIGAS! Lord woman are you out of your mind? Good thing you quickly regained your sanity and I'm loving your recipe, now just add some hot sauce and it's perfect.
Kimberly T On Monday, September 29 at 10:41 am
OH, I make that.
But I didn't know it had a name. hehe.
sounds yummy now.
Terri On Monday, September 29 at 10:42 am
I've not heard of migas, but I'm going to try it! It looks fabulous…
Mary H. On Monday, September 29 at 10:43 am
These look incredible! Looks like it would make a great breakfast for dinner, too! Maybe tonight! And I adore cilantro now although I didn't like it at all when I was younger.
Cindy On Monday, September 29 at 10:44 am
This looks absolutely delicious. I love the colors in the second photo.
Bonnie On Monday, September 29 at 10:46 am
My daughter lives in Austin, and whenever we visit, it's Migas for breakfast every day. One of my top ten favorite dishes.
Wendy M On Monday, September 29 at 10:46 am
Ree, I had migas for the first time when I lived in Belize. A Mexican friend of mine made them for breakfast for us one morning. I was hesitant at first, but when I tasted them, it was all over. That was over 20 years ago, and I'm still making them today. My big boys and husband love the hearty stick-to-your-ribs goodness and I love how easy it is to make them.
Memoria On Monday, September 29 at 10:48 am
"jalepeños", not "jalepenos"…there is no such thing as "jalepenos". Anyway, the dish still looks very good. I hope to be able to try it on one of my cheat days, since I'm on a diet.
Kerry On Monday, September 29 at 10:49 am
I love cilantro. I feel so very bad for people who dont like it. You are missing out on one of lifes great pleasures.
I agree Ree- give it another try and another and another until your palate aquires the taste. Well worth it and you will wonder how you lived without cilantro all these years.
Renee On Monday, September 29 at 10:52 am
looks totally yummy…will try soon…recouping from surgery so now I can do is dream about cooking!
Dianna from Ft Campbell On Monday, September 29 at 10:53 am
This something that I have made for years. My Mexican mama-in-law taught me how to make this. She was born and raised in Southern Mexico and this dish is something that has always been made for generations in her family. The traditional way to make it this is a bit different. Your version does look yummy though!
Jan On Monday, September 29 at 10:55 am
First I had to read about LBSCBDO. MM and my dh must be twins. The first time he took me out to dinner while we were dating, he was ready to pay the check and walk out the door as soon as he swallowed his last bite. I literally had to say "I'd like to sit and have coffee." *sigh* men!
Migas sounds wonderful. Without the cilantro. I've tried it. I don't like it. I shall not persevere.
Denise On Monday, September 29 at 10:56 am
Sounds like you visited the original Kerby Lane Cafe! There are some other good Austin places for migas also….Maudie's for one!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, my husband wants me to make it this coming weekend. And I made your pot roast and mashed potatoes last week, the whole family SOOOOOO loved those! It was like a new twist on my pot roast (which I usually just brown and toss in the crock pot with some golden mushroom soup and carrots).

Gary Clark Jr. may be the future of blues. His sound stretches widely covering various genres so squeezing him into the compacted box of one genre isn't fair, but it's clear blues is in his soul. This month's YOK artist has been making music for years although he's fairly new to the mainstream eye. His talent supersedes his young 28 years enough for an invitation to play at the White House. On February 21, GCJ played at the "In Performance at the White House: Red, White and Blues" alongside legends like B.B.King, Buddy Guy and Mick Jagger. And sharing a joke with the president turned this into a dream gig of a lifetime for the guitar player and singer. Read more…
President Obama has flexed his larynx yet again, this time singing a few lines of Robert Johnson's "Sweet Home Chicago" during a concert at the White House yesterday. We first heard the President sing Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" at a fundraiser last month, and admittedly, the snippet of Obama's vocal ability left us, and apparently even American Idol, hankering for more. So when he was baited by Buddy Guy (who was part of an All Star Band including B.B. King, Booker T. Jones, Mick Jagger and Derek Trucks), who said "I heard you had sung Al Green, so you started something so you gotta keep it up!" Obama, although reluctant at first, had little choice but to belt out a few lines from "Sweet Home Chicago". Look out for the pretty amazing moment when Obama holds the microphone out to B.B. King, and the two have a brief back-and-forth style sing-a-long.
On Tuesday night, the wildly talented musician and singer Gary Clark Jr. stood in with The Roots on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, jamming on his guitar and singing "Bright Lights" from his newly released four-song EP of the same name. Earlier that night, a showcase for the Austin, Texas native was held in swanky Soho House in New York City, and a who's who of music execs, critics and press were in attendance. Naturally, when we heard that Clark was performing at Rockwood Music Hall last night, we had to go check out his show; while he came to play a short acoustic set for VH1 staffers last month, you could tell he was holding back the some of the nastier funk that comes along with being backed by a rhythm section.
Sure enough (and much to our delight), last night's 75-minute set was impressive to a staggering degree. At age 27, Gary has already been compared to some of classic rock's greats, invoking the guitar chops of Clapton and Hendrix and, with a broad vocal range, he'll purr an Eddie Kendricks falsetto one minute and growl a B. B. King guttural tone the next. The music he unveiled crossed blues and soul with elements of jazz, funk and hip hop, but was also laced with smacking drums and rousing guitar solos that had Clark in a very clear, introverted, eyes-closed zone.
With lyrics like "I don't owe you a thing, I ain't buying you no diamond ring" and "If you love me like you say, why you trippin' like you do?," it's clear that Clark holds the blues near and dear to his being. However, his multi-dimensional sonic flavor was embraced by the models, frat boys, music snobs, and hipsters present, which allowed him to flaunt an effortless malleabilty that could be paired well with any of your favorite artists, regardless of genre or time period. ?uestlove was in the house as well, hanging with Zoe Kravitz (who is apparently a longtime friend of Clark's). And now, on the heels of a glowing Rolling Stone review of his Bright Lights EP, we're certain that Clark's star is on the rise, and the young talent has many years and many full-length albums ahead of him.

John Buchanan - Management Systems
Everyone is interested in making good decisions. More precisely, decision makers are interested in making decisions that have good outcomes. Will good outcomes be more "likely" if a good decision making process is used? What is a good decision making process?
These are some of the questions that quickly appear when one considers a study of decision making. My research focuses on individual decision making and seeks to compare prescriptive models (how people should make decisions) with descriptive models (how people do make decisions). I have also undertaken considerable experimental work to evaluate the performance of interactive MCDM solution methods.

Photo Gallery: Battling vandalism in Rose Village
A group of Rose Village residents takes to the streets once a month to clean up graffiti in hopes of discouraging future tagging of buildings, signs.
What is a graffiti tag?
Whether the work of turf-hungry gang members or bored teenagers with too much time on their hands, graffiti poses a number of problems. It creates a headache for property owners, an eyesore for passers-by and a question for police officers to answer: What does it all mean?
It depends on what the graffiti says. The acronyms, colors and symbols associated with graffiti all have their own meanings. Police have cracked the code on what some of the more prominent tags mean.
Sureños or Norteños: These two rival gangs began making headway in Clark County in the 1990s. Their tags are easily identifiable and often color-coded: blue for Sureño, red for Norteño. In some cases, authorities say, an increase in tagging activity will precede a rise in violence. Other times, the gangs are just marking turf. If they see a competing gang's sign, they'll cross it out and write theirs on top of it.
DWK: The recurring acronym stands for "Death Wish Krew," made up of a loose affiliation of taggers who run in the same circle. The tags aren't explicitly gang-related, police say, but some of the "Krew" members are thought to be affiliated with gangs.
RMH: These letters stand for "Real Money Hustlers," another crew that tags walls primarily in West Vancouver.
ME: A prominent tagger whose graffiti once lit up Vancouver walls before he or she apparently stopped tagging.
Walls and signs in Vancouver's Rose Village neighborhood look like they harbor alien hieroglyphics. But far from being extraterrestrial in origin, the mishmash of symbols is the work of vandals. Armed with Sharpies, spray-paint cans and their own unique language, they strike at night.
Residents of Rose Village say they've had enough. Not only do they see the writing on the wall, they know exactly what it means: They've got a big problem on their hands.
Graffiti is a growing concern in the neighborhood, so much so that neighborhood residents have started gathering on weekends to wipe walls and other graffiti-sullied surfaces clean. The Vancouver Police Department is aware of the apparent rise in vandalism there and elsewhere, but authorities say there's only so much they can do when private property is "tagged," lingo for when vandals hit a wall with graffiti.
So enter the so-called "tag teams," groups of residents who take it upon themselves to wipe away graffiti in their neighborhoods.
Chris Haberthur is an organizer of Rose Village's cleanups. He said it's important for residents to take the lead in efforts to scrub away a neighborhood's unsightly tags.
"If something gets tagged, and you happen to see it a few times, you tend to think of it as a bigger problem," Haberthur said. "So if you don't take care of it, the problem tends to multiply."
Sociologists call it the "broken windows theory." The theory posits that fixing a broken window — or in this case, cleaning up graffiti — shows that a neighborhood won't tolerate disorder. At times, it can seem like playing a game of Whack-a-Mole ad infinitum, knocking down one tag before another inevitably arises.
Still, neighborhood residents say they're confident they'll see results if they keep at it.
In Rose Village, neighbors have twice taken to the streets — armed with soap, scrubbers, power washers and a substance called "elephant snot," a viscous goop that dissolves graffiti — in January and February. They plan to make the cleanups a monthly occurrence.
There's been an uptick in vandalism in a number of neighborhoods, including Lincoln, Rose Village, Hough and Minnehaha, all on the west side of town, Vancouver police Cpl. Drue Russell said. Although the number of reports of graffiti has dropped since a peak in 2011, tagging remains high.
A disturbing number of the tags are gang-related, Russell said.
The majority of graffiti seen around town is the work of run-of-the-mill vandals, who either work independently or run with a "crew — an affiliation of vandals who like to mark their territory with a specific symbol, akin to leaving a calling card behind. Russell points to a prominent group of taggers who go by the name "Death Wish Krew," or DWK for short.
"That's more of a group or set of kids, young adults really, who are taggers," Russell said. "They'll claim to be part of a specific crew, but it gets a little fuzzy because some of the taggers are also gang members."
Whether gang-related or not, studies indicate that group dynamics play a significant role in tagging. A 2007 paper on tagging published in the "Journal of Adolescent Literacy & Adult Literacy" concludes that youths use tagging as an avenue to declare membership.
The group aspect of tagging is worrisome to people who've seen their property hit by tags.
In the Hudson's Bay neighborhood, a residential enclave near Pearson Field, Marie Trip awoke last month to see the wall outside her house had been tagged with spray paint.
Finding graffiti so close to her home gave Trip pause for thought. What if vandals walked up to the front door one night and rattled the knob to see if it was unlocked?
It was an unsettling thought for Trip, who's lived in the home with her husband, a retired Army colonel, since 2001.
"I felt violated. I felt mad," Trip said of finding the graffiti right outside her door. "But then I thought: There's nothing you can do about it."
Authorities say people should document graffiti, report it to the police and then clean it up as quickly as possible.
The department keeps tabs on the number of graffiti incidents, collating them into different categories, including gang-related or simple vandalism. They also actively pursue vandals, Russell said.
Extra emphasis is placed on keeping tabs on gang graffiti, which can often precede a rise in violence, Russell said.
For Haberthur, the Rose Village resident, erasing graffiti will take time.
"The motivating part is that it's an uphill battle," Haberthur said. "You might see it accumulate in other places and it just doesn't get cleaned up."

The vent and oven draw
I just lit my first fire in our Artigiano with the vent and chimney pipe attached. I know you already know this, but wow! What a difference. I've been curing and cooking with the oven for some time without the vent/chimney and after the oven gets hot, it does a so-so job of venting smoke and hot air out the top of the opening. But I lit a couple of damp concrete bags for my vent test (to make sure no smoke was leaking out of the assembly) -- and it was great!
The top half of the oven opening was sucking up the smoke up and out (it was full) and the bottom half was drawing in cold air (it was completely clear).
It's so cool seeing these ovens work properly. Eccellente.
Re: The vent and oven draw
Way to go James!
Re: The vent and oven draw
I have had so many guests comment on that when they see it...the clear air at the bottom and the smoke and gases out the top...could really explain to the kids the reason for crawling out of a burning building
Re: The vent and oven draw
James, probalby been asked elsewhere but I can't locate it. Are there "best practice" dimensions for vent and flue"? My vent opening is 19" x 4", nearly the entire width of the arc and reduces down to accomodate an 8"x12"x24" flue. At this point (two days of curing fires) I am not particularly impressed with my draw. Certainly not the show you describe above. I am wondering if extending the flue (by adding another 24" length), reducing the size down to 8"x8" or both would help the draw. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help.
Re: The vent and oven draw
Re: The vent and oven draw
When thinking about oven draw you are trying to create a constriction in space to create an area of low pressure...generally speaking I think most try to reduce the space by half...in square inches...so jcg 4x19=76sqin...8x12=96sqin...you should see if you can change flue tile to a 6x6...although 8x8 would work...taller is better also if you have the right ratio in the reduction...as Dmun said in a post in another thread "serious boilers have very tall chimneys because they supercharge the firebox"...
RC if your vent opening is indeed 7x7 you should look to reduce to a 4 inch flue...or make the vent opening larger
hope this helps
Re: The vent and oven draw
By your listed dimensions the opening is 76 sq inches and it transistions to an opening of 96 sq inches. Thanks to Bernoulli's law we know that when a moving fluid slows down pressure increases and when it speeds up pressure falls. Your vent by transitioning to a larger opening slows down the air at that point and raises pressure. What you want is the opposite to happen, so it would be better to reduce the area of your flue to a value less than the area of your opening. That will cause the air to increase speed and the pressure in the flue to be less than the vent opening. The 8x8 you suggested would seem fine.
My flue is 24 inches (8inch duravent) and draws very well, so you don't need more for good draw.
Re: The vent and oven draw
I'd give it time. I love the physics utilized in the the last two posts, but every oven is different, if not only for the reason that the archways and vents we build are not made from a cookie cutter.
Cool fires will put off more smoke and will not draw as well out the chimney. Deal with the smoke and the stain on your brick for the time being. Cover the brick with masking if its killing you to watch it get black. Once you get the dome to burn clear is when you will know if you need to work on your vent. If the oven is 800 degrees and your still getting smoke out the front, then you will probably want to do something.
I built 6 X10 inches for my opening on the inside of the arch. I widened it with a grinder to about 8 X15 with a slope towards the oven openng so that smoke spilling out of the oven would be given an immediate chance to rise and move up, rather than out.
Reality check: How's your wood? Really well cured? Wet wood produces much more smoke than seasoned.
Re: The vent and oven draw
Thanks folk, I went with constricting the flue a bit. For now I just lined the 12"x8" with some Kaowool and that had an immediate and positive impact. What I will do next weekend is either install a pipe within the current system, or cut down the existing 12x8x24 flue and install an 8x8x24 in its place. Either way it will be fairly easy and cheap to fix. Thanks again for the direction!

So if the bottom of the vent should be twice the top in area, should I tamper the sides of the second row so that opening is about 9" wide? :confused: If 2:1 ratio is suggested, what distance from the top to the bottom is recommended?
I guess not understanding all of this and flying by the seat of my pants, I'll try stuff and see what works. Any advice will be considered! Maybe the e-book should be expanded to help future(present) builders.

Blogging for all the right reasons
When you click a link on some web sites to do things like create reports, generate stats in file formats (Excel, PDF, etc.) the link redirects to a generated download, i.e., the download doesn't come from the specific site where the link resides. This can cause the download or report generation to fail. And, there will be no error message – IE8 will act like its working, even open a pop-up window briefly, but then just return to the original web site screen.
You can add the site to the list of for Compatibility View, turn off the pop-up blocker, but the link will still fail.
Users will curse IE8, saying that IE8 broke their favorite web sites but there's a quick fix.
In IE8:
Ni Hao! Wo shi Rod.

Let's not waste this latest crisis
Commentary by Sandy Layman
Last night WDIO news featured a story of a young bride, originally from Virginia, Minnesota, who had hoped to be married at Giants Ridge Golf Course in July but, because of the state shutdown, had to scramble to make other arrangements. The Giants Ridge golf courses, while managed privately, are owned by the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board, which is a state agency. The news story mentioned that July is the busiest month at Giants Ridge – not just for weddings - but for golf, which was not considered an "essential service" of the state.
The incident posed a crisis, no doubt, for this bride and groom but is actually part of the vast collateral damage from a much larger crisis when a state government comes to a standstill. The overall cost to Minnesota of this latest shutdown will be hard to estimate, but public officials should be devising strategies right now to make sure it does not happen again.
Close to home, northeastern Minnesota has its own state agency in the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board. It is unique; no other state in the country has an agency that focuses on a natural resource-based region that receives dedicated funding generated from the mining of its resources. The taconite production taxes, paid by mining companies in lieu of property taxes, send tens of millions of dollars to the agency each year to fund its operations, programs and projects. In 2011, the agency celebrates its 70th anniversary, having been formed in 1941.
Seventy years ago it likely made sense to establish the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board (then called a commission) as a state agency. The offices were housed in St. Paul and the budget was insignificant. For the last several decades however, the agency has grown substantially, is headquartered in Eveleth, operates with a sizeable annual budget and oversees an approximate $100 million fund recently renamed the Douglas J. Johnson fund. Expenditures are approved by a board comprised primarily of state legislators. All of these factors are cause for attention and questioned each year by the administrative and legislative branches of government. In fact, during the 2011 Legislative Session, much debate took place regarding legislation that would have tapped into the Douglas J. Johnson Fund to help solve the budget deficit.
The question the citizens of northeastern Minnesota should be asking is: Does it make sense today for the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board to be structured as a state agency? During my years as commissioner of the agency, I realized the benefits of serving on the Governor's cabinet and having direct access to the Executive Branch of government. These benefits, however, were countered by the enormous burden that is endemic to state government bureaucracy. Moreover, partisan politics consumed time that should have been spent furthering the economic development mission of the agency.
Back in 1999, a report issued by Neil Hamilton, who was then Trustees Professor of Regulatory Policy at the William Mitchell College of Law, advised that the structure of the agency was likely unconstitutional because of blurring of legislative and administrative oversight. He recommended the agency should be restructured as a public corporation with a board of directors.
I don't know if a public corporation structure is the answer. I do know that it would be a shame to waste this latest state government crisis.
Sandy Layman served as a citizen member of the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board from 1999-2003 and as commissioner of the agency from 2003-2011.Previous Editorials Articles:
