His spoken French is halting and at odds with his otherwise elegant appearance, but the gist of his sentences is as clear as glass. He speaks out "against sinister Islam," against the hate, the violence and the Muslim Brotherhood that seeks to foment unrest among young people in the poor suburbs, the banlieues, and against extremists and Salafists. "We must brighten up once again the catastrophic image of our religion," he says.
Many feel that Chalghoumi is going too far. On Fridays, in front of the mosque in Drancy, seemingly moderate, clean-shaven men wearing Western clothes accuse him of being a puppet of the powerful. They say he shouldn't get involved in politics but should interpret the Koran; that he should settle the affairs of Muslims "among Muslims," and not in a broader forum; and that he should not kowtow to the Jews as much as they say he does.
The Jews. They play an important role in Chalghoumi's story. It is clear that many Muslims in France have problems with the Jews. Many in places like Drancy and Bobigny are sharply opposed to Israel, thousands of kilometers away, and many feel a vague sense of solidarity with the Palestinians. When there is trouble in the Gaza Strip, the number of cars torched in the banlieues of Paris rises. "In the minds of many of my fellow Muslims," says Chalghoumi, "the Jews are still the billionaires, the usurers. It's time to finally put an end to that." This sentence makes perfect sense in France and elsewhere in Europe, but not in his community.
In January 2009, when the Israeli offensive was underway in the Gaza Strip and was responsible for disturbing images on French television, Chalghoumi, once again, demonstratively took an unexpected side. He didn't condemn Israel. Instead, he said that Israel and the Gaza Strip were far away, and that the French had nothing to do with the Palestinian conflict. He said: "Where will we be if we import the entire world's conflicts to France?" It was a position that closely resembled that of the Elysée Palace but was well removed from that of the Muslim community.
He made himself even more unpopular among Muslims when he said, four years ago in May, that the Holocaust was a "crime without comparison." At the time, he was the first imam in France who dared to take such a radical position. He did so at one of the scenes of the crime, in Drancy itself, where, in the midst of a sea of gray buildings, there is still a large, gloomy U-shaped apartment building that the German Nazis and their willing French helpers used as a central internment camp for Jews before they were shipped to Auschwitz. After a number of large-scale raids on Jewish communities in Paris and elsewhere, more than 60,000 people, including 6,000 children, were sent from Drancy to the death camp.
An old railroad car still stands there as a reminder today, with stone monument erected in front of it. The apartments that once served as prison cells are occupied again today, and pigeons strut across the lawns. During a ceremony there, Chalghoumi spoke of his sadness over the crimes of the Holocaust. In closing, he said that the Jews and the Muslims, "the children of Israel and Ishmael," are from the same family and are cousins. The courage of his remarks became clear a few days later, when his apartment was vandalized.

I was planning to go to the center today and work on my scarf. I decided to wait until next year. I have been very busy with a new crochet group on MSN http://groups.msn.com/crochetdepot . This is part of what I do. I am still knitting my scarf and got some nice yarn from a store in Daly City call Beverly's Crafts? Anyway it is a big store with lots of yarns, I will remember that for next time.
Some of you knew Grannyguy, from Crochetdepot.org. He was my friend and the friend of a lot of you. He wanted to learn how to knit, I did webcam training with him, but I was not a good teacher, we laughed he could not cast on as I taught. Today I am a bit sad, Scott and I developed a fast friendship, we liked each other a LOT. Nevertheless we were flirting friends. His health has not been very good, I called him every day to cheer him up. I was not able to talk to him since Tuesday, last nite he came to visit in a dream to tell me he died. I was disturbed by the dream and woke up, and he was sitting by the side of the bed, then he vanished. I loved him very much I wanted him to join this site. He will be missed, but will be present in our memories for all times. Thanks for the opportunity to express my emotions. Andrito ama a Tito.
As I post this there is one user online (moi) and 24 guests!
HI Everyone:
I was inspired by a friend of mine on the net, http://colamanknits.blogspot.com , his sweater gave me the inspiration for this scarf which I may bring to the Community center to continue my work with the inspiration of the other peple as well. Anyway it is on of the projects I have for the holidays along with my hats.
I have never had a pretty christmas tree in my own home, so this year I decided I would try to change that. Here is a knitted bow ornament I just finished making. It was really simple. Just cast on 5 stitches and work stockinette stitch, or if your lazy you can do it in garter stitch. Keep knitting until it's the length you want and then just simply tie it in a bow and hang it on your tree. This one was done with some Red Heart Christmas yarn.
A few days ago I mention that my buddy and I are working on our website. Well we are still working on it, but if you would like to get a preview of it at it's TEMPORARY ADDRESS... you can go here: http://coolguysknit.100webcustomers.com/ . Also check out my other blog at http://david34.blogspot.com/ to see my ugly christmas tree that I'm trying to make pretty, and see a new cap I just finished.
It was around this time last year that my neighbor and her 90+ year old mother taught me the knit stitch. I just finished my third scarf for a friend who will be visiting next week ( I am slow). Tonight I sat down with some yarn and a book and taught myself the purl stitch. Yes, I only knew the knit stitch but it was enough for me at the time. Like learning the knit stitch my arms are sore from new learning but I know this will pass. While I was able to figure the stitch out I am not sure how I should be holding the yarn so that it flows. Think I will call on my neighbor again for some advice. Afterall, she is 70ish and has been knitting a long time.
This is a scarf I made in 1997, I also knitted a sweater with the matching colors. It was a very beautiful sweater. Very Heavy. It had all kinds of yarn, from Icelandic Wool, to some mohair to acrycic. I may get motivated and make some sweaters, I want to buy those detachable circular needles. Does anyone has them, the ones you change the tips, How will you rate them.
I'm glad to see more men knitting. Eventually this will lead to an increase in the availability of men's patterns as various publications begin to realize that more and more men are defying stereotypes and picking up the needles and demanding something interesting to knit for ourselves. I was looking through the January 2006 issue of Creative Knitting last night, and they only featured two patterns for men. The hat was okay. I might knit it this summer when I'm wondering what to do with all my odds and ends of cascade 220. The sweater, however, was another sweater designed by a woman for a woman to knit for her man. It wasn't exactly something I'd knit for myself or even wear if some woman did knit it for me. These sentiments are typical for almost every knitting publication or pattern book I look through. I realize these publications won't change until their marketing departments can begin to measure in dollars the amount of men looking for good patterns. But in the meantime, where does everyone get his patterns?
So much for the Oscar Wilde allusion. Imagine my excitement when I discovered a sideways garter stitch glove pattern in an old Spin-Off (using short row shaping). Ok, so many you can't imagine my excitement if you don't know my tenuous history with thumb gussets on mittens - but needless to say, I was excited! The pattern called for size 4 needles, the pattern fitting a "women's medium" hand. I have pretty small hands and thought if the glove fit, I'd wear it - if not, surely some lucky gal in my life had daintier hands and would love some gloves. I used size 6 needles, and a thicker yarn, to make for a larger gauge. Just finished mitten #1 - it's a beaut - and it was easy as pie - but ARGH! Not only did it not fit me, it didn't fit any women living in a three mile radius of me. I think I may felt it for a keychain.
To all you guests lurking about.............join!!! It's painless!!

Bicycling Review
Issue : Nov 2007
Editorial Review
GT's GTR Pro is a new model with a monocoque carbon frame held over from last season's Carbon Series bikes. Shimano gets a lot of play with 105 wheels and a full Ultegra drivetrain, including a compact crank, with gearing perfectly suited to most mortals' power-to-weight ratio. Ritchey outfits the rest of the bike with a Carbon Pro fork and seatpost as well as a comfy Pro handlebar and stem.
Big, powerful riders will love the Pro's stout, efficient feel, but even our lighter testers found it civilized enough for longer hauls. The rigid chassis and full-carbon Ritchey fork offer excellent cornering accuracy, allowing the GTR Pro to flirt with the limits of traction. Shimano's 105 wheels feel solid and proved themselves tough by remaining perfectly true after an 8-mile descent with a flat rear tire (say, where'd I put that spare tube?). A nonadhesive-backed, narrow rim strip that doesn't cover the offset spoke holes in the rear caused two flats in one ride. Before you take the GTR Pro (or any other bike with asymmetrical spoke holes) for a spin, make sure the rim strip covers the full width of the rim bed. We also spent some time on the GTR Pro using Shimano's lighter (and tubeless) Dura-Ace wheels that significantly smoothed the ride quality and woke up acceleration--proving this GT has upgrade potential. With a great parts spec and high-tech carbon frame, the GTR Pro packs solid value without compromising the needs of performance-oriented riders.--Ron Koch
HITS: Rigid without being harsh; good parts, with a hill-friendly compact crank MISSES: Narrow rim strip on the rear wheel can cause flat tires; not everyone embraces the return of neon green; limited size range PRICE: $2500 WEIGHT: 17.52 lb. (56cm)

Good Saturday morning. AP says having a President Obama will slowly break down the idea of what constitutes a "normal name" in America: "Names traditionally considered 'American' tend to be "British-sounding stuff," said Cleveland Evans, professor of psychology at Bellevue University in Nebraska. Laura Wattenberg, a name expert and author who runs the blog The Baby Name Wizard: "It's a powerful symbol of breaking down barriers where it wasn't that long ago where kids with a non-English name would go to school and teachers would routinely change it."
BREAKING — U.S. deaths in Mumbai now up to six — a team of FBI agents will help in India. AP's Matthew Lee: "U.S. officials worry about a possible surge in violence between India and Pakistan after the bloody attacks in Mumbai killed at least 195 people, including six Americans. Intelligence officials search urgently for clues that might identify the attackers as Indian officials claim "elements in Pakistan" were involved."
The (London) Daily Telegraph says the marauders followed news coverage on BlackBerries. (Hat tip: N.Y. Daily News' James Gordon Meek)
Cover of The ECONOMIST: "Terror in India."
From Dana Perino: "President Bush held a secure videoteleconference at 7:30 am on Saturday regarding the terror attacks in Mumbai. Secretary Rice, Ambassador Mulford, Consul General Folmsbee, and several others on the national security team joined the meeting. President Bush thanked our ambassador and our consul general for all the work they've done to help Americans affected by the terrorists. The President is expected to make a brief statement on the attacks upon arrival at the White House today." Scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
From President-elect Obama: "The United States must stand with India and all nations and people who are committed to destroying terrorist networks, and defeating their hate-filled ideology. There is one president at a time. I will continue to closely monitor the situation on the ground in Mumbai, and am grateful for the cooperation of the Bush Administration in keeping me and my staff updated. We fully support the Bush Administration's efforts to protect American citizens and assist the government of India during this tragic time."
ANNIVERSARY: Ali and Jon Ward are celebrating their third, in Charlottesville. Jeth went to his grandparents'. (Hat tip: Chip Ward)
AP: Justice Stevens, 88, shows no signs he is ready to quit.
TOP TALKER: FiveThirtyEight.com, one of the best new Web sites of the cycle, stirred a frenzy yesterday by posting an item now headlined, "Chris Matthews Staffing Up for Probable Senate Run in 2010." In Pennsylvania, as a Democrat, for Sen. Arlen Specter's seat. Politico's Michael Calderone followed up: "Through a spokesperson, Matthews gave the following statement to Politico about the FiveThirtyEight report: 'It is absolutely not true.'"
THE BIG IDEA — "TEAM OF GIANTS" — Politico's Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin, "Can Obama's team of egos co-exist?": "Barack Obama's picks for cabinet and other senior posts are many things: centrists, veterans, rivals. Most of all, though, they're big: Big names, big intellects, and big egos. The president-elect's national security and economic policy teams, inside the White House and out, will be led by power politics veterans, all but one of them older than the president-elect, and all accustomed to being the most important voice in the room. … [O]n national security decisions, Obama will have a team of heavyweights … His economic team is of similar stature … White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel seems unlikely to be shy about his views in either arena. The choices have been widely praised, with even critics such as Karl Rove and the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board saluting Obama for surrounding himself with some of the most talented and highly regarded figures in American public life. Democrats have celebrated the sheer muscle Obama has assembled to push through his agenda.
"Obama has encouraged comparisons between his governing team and Abraham Lincoln's cabinet, which included several of his Republican rivals. But Obama's is less a team of rivals than a team of giants — and his best and brightest will inevitably jostle up against one another, as some rise and others fall within an administration that has ambitious goals but limited resources. Almost certainly, they'll test the strength of a president brimming with confidence and with a self-described mandate. … Many on the new team have long known one another and the intimate world of Beltway politics for much longer than they've known Obama, a relative newcomer to Washington, and most remained neutral in the Democratic primary.
PUNDIT PREP — "REINVENTING CLINTON: Obama team repackaging Clinton after campaign digs," By AP's Nancy Benac: "It wasn't too long ago that Barack Obama and his advisers were tripping over one another to tear down Hillary Rodham Clinton's foreign policy credentials. She was dismissed as a commander in chief wanna-be who did little more than sip tea and make small talk with foreign leaders during her days as first lady. ... Now, Clinton is on track to become Obama's secretary of state. And, unsurprisingly, the sniping at her foreign policy credentials is a thing of the past. Obama adviser William Daley over the weekend said Clinton would be 'a tremendous addition to this administration. Tremendous.' Senior adviser David Axelrod called Clinton a 'demonstrably able, tough, brilliant person.' Last spring, though, Clinton was targeted with a steady stream of criticism via conference call, e-mail and campaign-trail digs from the Obama camp, all aimed at shredding her self-portrait as an experienced and confident leader on the international stage. Some of those doing the sniping will be taking up key positions — most likely along with Clinton — in the new Obama administration."
FOX NEWS SUNDAY e-mails us: "In addition to interviews with Senators Graham & McCaskill, and Sen. Chambliss, in a Sunday show first, Chris Wallace interviewed Terrie Rouse, CEO for Visitor Services at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, for 'Power Player of the Week' on 'Fox News Sunday.' The piece will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the center, which opens Tuesday." Other listings at end of Playbook.
The N.Y. Post cover calls it "HELL-MART." N.Y. Daily News cover: "DEATH BY SHOPPING." New York Times A1: "In a sign of consumer desperation amid a bleak economy, the annual rite of retailing known as Black Friday turned chaotic and even deadly, as predawn shoppers scrambled for holiday bargains. A Wal-Mart worker on Long Island died after being trampled by customers who broke through the doors early Friday. And fights and injuries occurred around the country at some other stores operated by Wal-Mart, the nation's leading discount chain, which is one of the few retailers thriving in the current economy. … At a Toys 'R' Us store in Palm Desert, Calif., two men were shot to death in a dispute, but local officials said the cause was unclear. And the company released a statement saying the deaths were not related to Black Friday shopping."
THE BARBARA WALTERS SPECIAL with the Obamas on Thanksgiving eve drew 11.7 million viewers. — NYT Arts section
TOMMY VIETOR'S "CHEERS" — AP reports that Baby Boomers Cafe in Des Moines has been doing a land-office business "[e]ver since word spread about the president-elect and his family's fondness for Baby Boomers' chocolate chunk cookies. …The Obamas were frequent visitors to the cafe in the summer of 2007 when the Illinois senator devoted much of his time to Iowa, where the state's precinct caucuses kick off the presidential nominating process. Obama's main office was next door to Boomers, and his staff made the cafe a second home. His daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, would stop by with their mother, Michelle … During a stop in Iowa last month, Obama's staff ordered about a dozen cookies for the family. … Suddenly, sales of 400 cookies in a good week soared to more than 1,000 a week, with requests coming from as far away as Mexico. Alas, the price is going up, from 50 cents to 75 cents a cookie to make up for the time it takes to make more each day."
SLOW NEWS DAY: On Nov. 14, the Obama-Biden transition posted a long list of "Agency Review Teams" on its change.gov Web site, including the provocative entry, "Department of State, Samantha Power." Resourceful AP State Department reporter Matthew Lee revived that nugget late yesterday with a story pointing out that the careless "monster" comment that had caused Power to resign back in March as a senior foreign policy adviser to the Obama campaign had been about one Hillary Clinton, who'll now be Secretary of State. AWKWARD! The WashPost's Michael D. Shear, following (and crediting) AP, notes: "[P]eople close to the transition suggested too much was made of Power's comment at the time, and said that she has made moves to bury the hatchet with Clinton and that the senator accepted those efforts." Power, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for her book "'A Problem from Hell': America and the Age of Genocide," is close to Obama and her return to grace after a victory had always seemed more a matter of "when" than "if."
— WashPost's Juliet Eilperin, "EPA, Interior Dept. Chiefs Will Be Busy Erasing Bush's Mark": "Few federal agencies are expected to undergo as radical a transformation under President-elect Barack Obama as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department, which have been at the epicenter of many of the Bush administration's most intense scientific and environmental controversies. … Regardless of who takes over at the agencies, the new leaders will face impatient scrutiny from green groups eager to change the government's trajectory on the environment."
— AP's Ricardo Alonso-Zaldiva, "Obama to broaden role of genetics in medical care": "[T]he vision of individualized treatment based on a patient's genetic makeup and other biological markers has yet to materialize … Now the pursuit of 'personalized medicine' is expected to get a major push from the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama. As a senator, Obama introduced legislation to coordinate the sometimes conflicting policies of government agencies and provide more support for private research. He remains keen on the idea."

It is going to be a most interesting administration.......
No one is "reinventing the Clintons". If you all were foolish enough to believe the hype coming out of the Obama campaign then I feel sorry for you. The attacks on Hillary Clinton's foreign policy experiences were exceedingly sexists and derogartory. It is unfortunate that we still live in a sexists society that bought into the stereotype. It is amazing that people are stunned to believe that it really wasn't true while being taken in by their own sexists prejudices. Now I wonder if anyone in America will state the obvious. Obama successfully used sexism as part of his campaign against Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, many were too sexist to realize it. It seems they still are since someone else is "reinventing Hillary Clinton" as if Hillary Clinton can only be defined or redefined through Barack Obama.
The NeoConZionist/Rove plan fo rehabilitating The Dummy's image is under way. The Dummy's claim that his 'Legacy' should be credited for the 'Liberation' of millions of Iraqis, supposedly after 'Conversing with my 'Higher Father', was the brainstorm of the Newt Gingrich PR firm, which charged AIPAC $31.7M for the brilllant concept of defining the indiscriminate slaughter of countless innocent Iraqi children, women and men as 'Liberation', and bringing in the old ''Higher Father' fantasy as an added fillip.
Tighten your seat belts. Those 'in the know' say that we're about to enter a new, 'rapidly escalating' period of stock market, and thus, 'Total Economic' growth. Geez, we've hardly begun to recover from the last one, and there's a new one under way? 'Not to worry', say the 'Economic Experts'. Insiders report that the whiz kid mathematicians who do all the 'Product Development' for the 'Financial Industry' have come up with a 'Fool-Proof' way of 'predicting stock and commodity prices and trends' within a '0ne to two percent accuracy level' up to' two years in advance'. It's not been announced yet, but, using a gaggle of the very latest high speed, highest capacity computers, the 'Whiz Kids' found an 'Absolute Correlation' between the size and timing of their bowel movements with future stock and commodity movements, up to two years in advance.
'But wait', you say. 'Who on earth would possibly believe this cockamamie bullsh*t from the 'Whiz Kids'? Obviously, the very same 'Financial Experts' who bought the 'Toxic Mortgage Scam' plan, and now, not-so-coincidentally, are 'managing' the 'recovery' from that very same fiasco..
Local judges across the US, who are often just small-town politicians following the dictates of the local political powers-that-be, are now adopting some of the novel legal concepts fostered by 'legal experts' in the Halls of Congress and the highest levels of the White House.
In a recent 'Stop and Rob' case, where a demented three-time-loser, stoked on Meth, entered a 'Stop and Rob' at closing time, armed with four AK 47's and a case of hand grenades, and proceeded to lay waste to the place, fortunately and miraculously missing the troop of girl scout cookie-sellers and the pregnant, mother-of-nine cashier, the local maghistrate dismissed the 'Disorderly Conduct' arrest charge.
'This is not the time to spend time on matters of the past', the judge intoned, from the calm of his courtroom. 'We have to look to the future, and do our best to make things better. The defendant agrees with this enlightened philosophy, and has offered to help hire someone to clean up the shot-up store 'provided he can come up with some funds one of these nights', and what more could we ask?'
In a brilliant counter-move to the mounting avalanche by the Rove/Gingrich PR firm, of rehabilitation mendacities intended to cover-up the atrocities, inanities, and insanities committed by The Dummy, in the vain hope of him being considered as somewhat less a moronic monster than he is, a small troop of intrepid divers has gone to the Titanic's last resting place, painted out the giant 'TITANIC' on her stern, and substitutued, in miniscule type, 'the dummy'. A fitting tribute, a proper legacy.
Some of the President-Elect's still-living-on-the-'Dark Continent's relatives are wondering why the US doesnot adopt cannibalism as a solution to the ever-lengthening soup-kitchen lines, and have helpfully provided some time-tested recipes for boiling and roasting ex-political leaders. One of the more fascinating ones begins, 'First firmly set the stake in a deep-enough hole in the ground to insure it will not tip and drop the flaming pig-of-a-politician directly onto the flaming ***gots during the roasting process...'
Oh, great. As if American Indians didn't have enough problems, now that they're rolling in dough flowing from the flocks of pigeon 'white-eyes' crowding their casinos, and have enough money to send their kids off to great schools of 'higher learning', now they gotta worry about sending dear little 'Running Bare with the Sun and The Moon and the Stars' off to school, and have him coming back 'Holiest Muhammed Obama Abdullah Saudi-Barack Ayahtollah'.

From the Publisher:
Political progressives in Canada and the United States are deeply concerned by the manner in which their countries treat their poor. They are dismayed at the dismantling of the social welfare state, the weakening of public education systems and the grotesque and ever-growing inequality of wealth. To remedy this problem, citizens need to be more aware of how political ideology influences attitudes and actions, and they need to better comprehend the effects of hegemonic discourses in the corporate media and school curriculum. This book informs educators how to develop context-specific pedagogy that will help achieve a more enlightened citizenry and, as a result, a stronger democracy. Teaching about Hegemony: Race, Class and Democracy in the 21st Century promotes a progressive agenda for teaching that is rooted in critical pedagogy, it explains why ideological critique is necessary in raising political consciousness, it deconstructs white, middle-class hegemony in the formal school curriculum, and it examines corporate media and school curriculum as hegemonic devices. It also covers recent theory and research about race, class and democracy and how best to teach about these topics. Combining theory and sociological research with pedagogical approaches and classroom narratives, this book is fundamental for progressive educators interested in developing a politically conscious, progressive and active citizenry hungry for a stronger civil society.

PAWTUCKET — Faced with the prospect of severe overcrowding at most of the city's elementary schools, Schools Superintendent Deborah Cylke is proposing that a majority of the incoming sixth graders be relocated to classrooms at Goff or Slater junior high schools in September 2013.
Wednesday's announcement from the Rhode Island Principals' Committee on Athletics regarding the awarding of a two-year football officials' contract to a group from Massachusetts does not automatically spell the end of Rhode Island-based officials from overseeing games statewide.
What remains to be seen is just how many Rhode Island officials are willing to put hurt feelings aside and "break ranks," those words coming from Bruce Guindon, a Pawtucket native and registered Interscholastic League official.
PAWTUCKET — A tip for those with plans to turn out at McCoy Stadium for the Pawtucket Red Sox' home opener on Thursday night: Make every effort to get comfortably seated by around 6:15.
An elaborate pre-game ceremony laced with pageantry will directly lead into the 7:05 first pitch between Pawtucket and Rochester. The festivities commence with a tribute to neighboring police and fire units. The jubilant spirit inside the ballpark's walls will undoubtedly remain at a fever pitch when the 2012 Governors' Cup champion PawSox are recognized as part of a special ring ceremony.
LINCOLN — Regarding the defending state championship unit he oversees, Lincoln High head coach Dick Ryan has very few reasons to feel nervous.
Even on a day that saw senior pitching standout Lindsay Mayer demonstrate that she is human after all, the Lions were still able to outclass the opposition in every conceivable sense. Lincoln was supplied by plenty of offensive fireworks and a stout defense that was on full display during the fifth inning of Wednesday's game when centerfielder Adriana Toro unleashed a cannon of a throw to nail a Smithfield baserunner at third base.
WOONSOCKET — On Monday afternoon at Slater Park, Tolman High mustered only one hit in a 3-0, extra-inning loss to defending Rhode Island Division I champion Lincoln.
Naturally, that was a point of contention for head coach Craig Giarrusso, who in practice has been working with his girls to produce more at the plate.
It showed, and then some, in a Division I showdown with Woonsocket on Wednesday afternoon. The Tigers bashed 14 hits, 11 of them in the final three frames, to post an easier-than-anticipated 8-0 victory at Cold Spring Park's Baldelli Field.

PAWTUCKET — Fresh eggs and honey from Pawtucket? One local nutrition group would like to see changes in the city's zoning and animal ordinances to allow urban farming activities like these to take root.
CENTRAL FALLS – Students in the city could soon be wearing the school colors of red and blue on their sleeves — and on their slacks and skirts as well.
Central Falls Rep. Agostinho Silva has introduced legislation to allow Central Falls schools to adopt a dress code requiring school uniforms. Silva said parents approached him several months ago wanting to establish a school uniform policy.
"I told them, I'll put it in," Silva said, adding that the parents "are looking to put everybody at the same level, dress-wise, when they go to school.
PROVIDENCE – Through all the twists and turns on his basketball journey, Ricky Ledo never once lost sight of what he interpreted to be the brass ring.
Mentioning Ledo and the NBA in the same sentence is a parlor game that's been en vogue for quite some time. The Providence native always seemed to have a twinkle in his eye when it came to pro hoops – his tunnel vision so clairvoyant that the only matter left to itemize was to wait for Declaration Day.

CENTRAL FALLS – Police Tuesday were investigating a reported bank robbery involving two armed suspects at the Navigant Credit Union on Broad Street.
According to reports, two males dressed in black and wearing black masks walked into the 693 Broad St. bank where they showed a firearm and demanded cash from a teller. The suspects were reported to have fled the scene in a green Chevy Impala with red dealer plates, and they were last seen heading toward Pawtucket.
PAWTUCKET — Though hailed as a centerpiece of the future Slater Mill National Park that local and state tourism officials are hoping becomes a reality, the Blackstone Valley Visitors Center at 175 Main St. has been struggling to pay its bills and its quasi-public owners are planning to put it up for sale.
PAWTUCKET — Graciette Nobre sat next to her tearful mother and other family members on the curb across from 191 Harrison Street on Monday as officials walked in and around the burned-out multi-family that was their home until yesterday afternoon. "I just want to get in there and see if I can get my car keys, and find any of my stuff," she said. "All of my things, my documents, are in there."
NORTH PROVIDENCE — North Providence made quick work of St. Raphael in their showdown for first place in the Division II-West standings on Monday afternoon at Governor Notte Park.

ALLENTOWN, PA -- The Lehigh Valley IronPigs scored 13 unanswered runs to rally from an early deficit and hand the Pawtucket Red Sox their first loss of the season, 14-5, on Monday night at Coca-Cola Park.
Jeremy Hazelbaker led off the game by belting the third pitch he saw for his third home run of the season, and a few batters later, Bryce Brentz launched a two-run homer to give the PawSox a quick 3-0 lead.
The PawSox then upped their lead to 5-1 in the second on an RBI single by Jonathan Diaz and a sacrifice fly by Justin Henry, but things went downhill for them after that.

- Published:
- Release: P1.0 (2008-02-11)
As a PHP developer, you have some great tools for developing web applications. Ruby on Rails is another key tool to add to your web development toolbox. Rails is a high-level web development framework that emphasizes high productivity and clean code. However, the Ruby language and Rails framework take a different approach from the way many PHP developers write applications.
Ruby lies at the foundation of Rails, and we'll teach you the Ruby language from the beginning by building on your existing foundation of PHP. We'll explore Ruby through parallel code examples that illustrate the differences between the languages, and help you understand the Ruby idioms and how they differ from popular PHP code and style.
You'll then learn the Rails framework by iteratively building a complete application, starting from the home page through to a finished product. Along the way, you'll build your skills as a Rails developer by learning the Rails fundamentals such as MVC structure, domain modeling, and testing.
In addition to serving as a guide to learning both Ruby and Rails from a PHP developer's perspective, this book includes two extensive reference chapters. They map the most common PHP tasks to their equivalents in the Ruby and Rails world, giving you at-a-glance information that you'll refer to often.
- Leverage PHP knowledge to learn Ruby on Rails quickly
- Understand key differences between Ruby and PHP
- Learn Rails best practices and relate them to PHP
- Develop techniques for writing effective Rails code

I highly recommend Rails For PHP Developers. Provides side-by-side PHP/Ruby code and is overall a great introduction to Ruby.
—Bill Karwin MySQL Guild
This is an enjoyable book packed with great information and usable examples. I like the organization of the book and the gentle, informal voice with which the authors cover many complex topics. It's easy to read, yet it has plenty of substance and depth to give the reader a great introduction to Rails.

This book does exactly what it says on the front: it gives a comprehensive overview of Rails from the perspective of the seasoned PHP developer and it does it very, very well.
Blog Critics Magazine said:
It quickly brings any PHP programmer up to speed with one of the hottest technologies in existence today. I'd recommend this manual to any PHP developer who would like to quickly learn how to use Rails.

LONDON 2012: No longer a schoolgirl but Smith is still learning her lessons
Posted: October 31, 2011|
ZOE Smith - once dubbed Britain's strongest schoolgirl - insists she has no regrets about quitting education to become Britain's strongest ex-schoolgirl.
Smith, 17, decided to defer her A-level studies earlier this year and move to British weightlifting's headquarters in Leeds, in a bid to focus on her London 2012 ambition.
Standing just 5ft 2ins tall and tipping the scales at a fraction over nine stone, Smith, who won bronze at last year's Commonwealth Games in Delhi, has already established herself as one of Team GB's most engaging young faces.
But next month's World Championships in Paris, which marks the start of the seven-month Olympic qualifying window, will only be her second senior event and she's keen to keep expectations low.
Related content
"It's my first World Championships, I just want to go there and make some personal bests," she told reporters, during a conference call organised by the British Olympic Association.
"I've returned to full training after a back injury and it seems like I've made a full recovery but I'm realistic, I'm only 17, I'm not looking at medals."
Despite being the star name in the British weightlifting team, Smith, who recently won silver at the World Youth Championships in Peru, was dropped from lottery funding last year after claims she was not taking her training seriously.
She insists the issue, which had her hometown coaching team frothing, was down to miscommunication but shoulders the blame for her naivety.
"I've learned from my mistakes and understand there will be consequences if I don't live up to my end of the bargain. There were issues of communications mainly because I wasn't living in Leeds," she adds.
"It was a tough decision to put my studies on hold, move away from my family and train full-time for a year. It was the right call because I was under pressure to go to gym and under pressure to finish all my schoolwork.
"I'm only once in my life going to have the chance to compete in a home Games, so I decided to give it my all for a year, move up to Leeds and see what happens.
"It's a full-time job, I'm in the gym six days a week and it's been a massive change from training at home after school for a couple of hours.
"However, I also need to remember that I'm only 17. I've got a long way to go and I've got to treat this all as a learning experience."

Teams Enjoying Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO - There is a giant banner hanging at one end of the court at Coliseo de Puerto Rico, site of this week's Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The banner promotes Puerto Rico tourism, and features such images as a sandy beach, a surfer navigating a cresting wave and a picturesque waterfall.
Smack in the middle of the banner is a photo of a rainbow arching over one of the ancient turrets in Old San Juan. It is an appropriate picture for this tournament, because as far as the head coaches are concerned, the Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
"I've been in Puerto Rico before, and I've loved my time here," North Carolina head coach Roy Williams said. "This is a big-time tournament with a big-time field, and we're happy to be part of it.
Bob Huggins, the head coach of defending Final Four participant West Virginia, feels the same way
"I've been down here twice before (as the head coach at Cincinnati) and really enjoyed it. We had a great time," Huggins said. "So when they called about coming back down here, I jumped right on it."
Rounding out the eight-team field for this year's tournament are Davidson, Hofstra, Minnesota, Nebraska, Vanderbilt, and Western Kentucky. The teams have a combined record of 10-1 this season, 22-1 including exhibition games.
The action begins at 12:30 p.m. AT Thursday with the first of four games that day. There will be four second-round games on Friday, followed by an off day Saturday before the final round is held on Sunday. The championship game is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. AT Sunday. All 12 tournament games will be televised by ESPN's family of networks.
While rainy and cold weather spread across much of the United States this week, San Juan has been enjoying sunny days with temperatures in the 70s and 80s. That alone is enough to make the Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off an attractive tournament getaway.
"It really cooled off yesterday right when we were getting ready to leave (Nashville)," Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings said. "That wind started blowing out of the north and all of the sudden it was rainy and unpleasant. So it was nice to come down here and get off the plane and have it be 77 degrees last night at about 11 o'clock."
The tournament also offers a new experience for many of the players, most of whom have never left the continental United States. And with an off day built into the tournament schedule, the teams will have an opportunity to venture out beyond the confines of the hotel and the arena.
"I want the guys to take in some of the sights on our off day," Western Kentucky head coach Ken McDonald said. "Anytime you get a chance to travel away from the weather – and we have some cold weather where we're from – you want everyone to have a good experience. I'm sure we'll get out on the beach a little bit and walk around and get to see how beautiful a place this is."
Of course, the primary objective for the teams this week is to play basketball and try to win some games. In the end, that is the main appeal of the Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off, especially considering the strength of the tournament field.
"Whoever ends up here on Sunday night as the last team standing is going to gain a great deal of confidence, because it's such a quality field," Williams said. "We're ecstatic to be here in this great field and this great location."
The Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off is one of six ESPN-sponsored basketball tournaments this season. It will be three days of fun in the sun, and provide ideal viewing for those looking for an escape from the first chilly winds of winter.
The Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off - 2010 Notes
A homecoming for Diaz - For most players taking part in the Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off, the tournament offers an opportunity to visit a new country. But for Nebraska center Jorge Brian Diaz, the tournament is a chance to come home. Diaz is a native of Caguas, Puerto Rico
"I am very excited to be here for this tournament," Diaz said Wednesday. "There are a lot of great teams and I'm excited for my family and friend to watch me play. It'll be the first time my mom has watched me play live with the Nebraska team and I'm very happy and excited for that."
Nebraska head coach Doc Sadler said he is glad that Diaz will have a chance to play in his home country.
"Two years ago when he came to Nebraska, I wanted to try to get back down here," Sadler said. "For you people down in Puerto Rico to have this young man representing you, there's not another player in the country who will do it better.
"I had Filiberto Rivera at UTEP. Those two guys (Diaz and Rivera) - not to minimize anyone else – are special people and special players. I'm happy that he gets to come back here and play. I know he's looking forward to it and hopefully the people down here get a chance to come out and enjoy it because you really, really need to appreciate what kind of person you've got representing you. He's a tremendous, tremendous guy."
2011 Tip-Off field nearly set: Seven of the eight teams have been secured for next year's fifth annual Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off.
The teams confirmed for the field are Alabama, Colorado, Iona, Maryland, Purdue, Temple and Wichita State. A final team from the Big East Conference will be confirmed at a later date.
Next year's tournament is scheduled to be held Nov. 17, 18 and 20 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.
A big deal for Puerto Rico: According to the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, the Honda Puerto Rico Tip-Off will generate 2,500 room nights at area hotels and result in an economic impact of approximately $1.8 million.
But for Henry Neumann Sr., Secretary of the Puerto Rico Sports and Recreation Department, the highlight of tournament so far occurred when he followed North Carolina head coach Roy Williams during a news conference on Wednesday.
"To me, it's just an honor to be at the same seat and the same microphone where Mr. Roy Williams was just sitting," Neumann said. "That for me is enough. The North Carolina Tar Heels are the New York Yankees of college basketball."
All 12 games of The Honda Puerto Rico Tip-off will be televised ESPN's family of networks. All times are Eastern.

The geometry we study in school was mostly discovered in ancient times and was systematized by the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria in around 300 BC. The subject of Euclidean geometry has continued to expand in the years since Euclid did his work. Many beautiful and amazing new discoveries that build on the geometry of Euclid have been made by a variety of people. In this book, easy-to-use dynamic geometry software is employed to explore some of those newer results. The reader is guided to discover the theorems, to develop a deep understanding of them, and to come to appreciate them for their elegance and beauty as well as for their utility.
Exploring Advanced Euclidean Geometry with GeoGebra provides an inquiry-based introduction to advanced Euclidean geometry. It utilizes dynamic geometry software, specifically GeoGebra, to explore the statements and proofs of many of the most interesting theorems in the subject. Topics covered include triangle centers, inscribed, circumscribed, and escribed circles, medial and orthic triangles, the nine-point circle, duality, and the theorems of Ceva and Menelaus, as well as numerous applications of those theorems. The final chapter explores constructions in the Poincaré disk model for hyperbolic geometry.
The book can be used either as a computer laboratory manual to supplement an undergraduate course in geometry or as a standalone introduction to advanced topics in Euclidean geometry.

1 (9 inch)
pie shell
1 cup
3/4 cup
hot water
3/4 teaspoon
baking soda
egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 cup
packed brown sugar
1/4 cup
I loved this recipe! I was looking for a shoo fly pie recipe like the ones I grew up with in Pennsylvania, and this is authentic! I used a 9 inch deep dish shell, and I still did not use all of the filling and crumbs. If you do, it WILL spill over, and believe me, it's a mess. I also think to get the right consistency, you need to alternate layering the crumbs with the filling, with crumbs on the bottom and the top. Bake time was just right, even with the deep dish crust. I let it cool 30 min. before digging in. This pie is best served warm, but don't microwave it to reheat it. Thanks for a recipe that I will make when I want some true comfort food!
Something in the instructions is missing, I followed all the instructions and had a mess. Other recipes I've come across say to add most of the crumb mixture into the mixture of molasses and then sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top of the pie. When I put the crumb mixture on top of the molasses layer, it then all ran out of the pie shell. Please check to see if something is missing in the instructions.

My family is from PA, and my mother/granmother use to make this on ocassion. I like to cook/bake, and have made it now several times. Always trying to perfect it. And, this is almost a perfect recipe too. Those trying it for the first time.. you can vary the ingredients some. The liquid part. So it doesn't overflow. Use 3/4 cup molassas and 3/4 cup of water. Strength/bitterness will depend on the molassas (robustness). The pie wont' taste so bitter if you use the lighter types. If you only have the robust, try using only 1/2 cup molassas and more water, or swap with 1/4 karo. Some only use karo, but, you won't get the traditional flavor of a true shoefly pie. You can also just do 1/2 cup M.. and 1 cup of water. This will make it less robust, and prevent it from spilling over. You will also get the the wet bottom if you sprinkle a little of the dry topping in first, then liquid, then more dry, etc. I prefer this way, as it won't be too liquid on the bottom. I also add a couple drops of cider vinegar to the liquid mix to give it a little more umph. But, only a few drops. Again, if you are making/following this recipe, best if you use a slightly larger pie shell, or cut back some on the liquid... Otherwise, it may overflow. Good luck!
I have tried many recipes for Shoofly pie and have been disappointed. This is the BEST Shoofly pie I have ever made or eaten. The recipe works best w/ a 9" deep dish pie crust. I would recommend to anyone.
The perfect Shoo Fly Pie! I have searched high and low for a recipe that had just the right amount of "goo"! This is it! My family loved it!
Alright, giving this recipe 1 star is really unfair. I grew up in Lancaster County, and had many a shoo fly pie during my years of living there. I can tell you this is exactly the way shoo fly pie should taste. I did not alter anything, except I added a dash of nutmeg and of allspice into the crumb mixture. I would maybe ad a little more butter to the crumbs next time.
I guess I used what is considered a deep dish stoneware pie plate, because the amount was correct. I had to be extremely careful putting the pie into the oven because it was sloshing around, but when it was baked it was firm but gooey, like it's supposed to be!
This is really a fail-proof recipe in my opinion, any beginning baker should be able to make it, especially if you don't make your own crust. You have your layer of goo, then the crumbs you put on top sink into the goo, and stay on top as well. The crumbs should cover the entire surface. My pie came out perfect, with a gooey filling and a crunchy top!
So make sure you use a deep dish pie plate, and other than that you should have a real Pennsylvania Dutch shoo fly pie!
I live smack in the middle of Amish country. I followed the recipe and had no problems at all with over flow. Crumbs do not need to be mixed in. If you want a truly "wet bottom" shoo fly pie this is it. This recipe is comparable to the pies that are sold at the Farmer's markets in this area by the Amish and Mennonites. Great recipe!!! Thanks.
I haven't had shoofly pie since I was a kid. And every year at Christmas time I crave it, but, haven't ever been able to get a recipe for it until now. Of course I looked for the easiest recipe, and came across this one.
As it was baking, the wonderful aroma swept me back to Grandma's kitchen. I could almost picture her tending the oven, making sure us girls didn't peak.
Thank you so much for posting this simple and so totally delicious recipe. I let it rest for about 10 minutes. That's all I could wait. I just had to dig in. My son and I have eaten half the pie already. And I made a 12in. deep dish pie. This is definately one of those comfort dishes and I will treasure this one always. Thanks again for the wonderful recipe.

Part 2: Pawnees – Panis – Blacks – Negros: Slaves
The term "panis" in Quebec, was formerly concerning servants and/or slaves in Quebec, sold by Natives of Pawnee Nation to English people from USA, and then re-sold in Quebec and the Maritimes and Fur-Trade posts. The term "panis" was the pronunciation that French people had for Pawnees a first nation of North Carolina who often sold their captives to Englishmen after intertribal conflicts. This name was linguistically distorted by French peoples, and was also attributed to black slaves in Canada and in the USA. In this period, about 2797 slaves-servants were Natives and 897 were Blacks.
The following sources were essentially consulted from historical archives in Quebec, from the National Archives Library. The most viable source in this matter is of course: The Dictionary of slaves and their owners, by Marcel Trudel who is mentioning unions and christenings of both native and black slaves that were presented in the various parish registers ,also showing the very few interbreeding mixing, both among indigenous, blacks and whites.
A big problem was, and still is, since some Panis were adopted and / or purchased, without the parties citing the source of the individuals: black or indigenous?
The consulted sources, archives making these mentions:
-Microfilms of parishes 1
-Microfilms of census 2
-The Dictionary of slaves and their owners 3
-Dictionnaire généalogique des familles canadiennes depuis la fondation de la colonie jusqu'à nos jours. (Genealogical Dictionary of Canadian families since the founding of the colony until today) 4

Firefighters in Owego will not be leaving their posts. They had threatened to quit if the village board of trustees didn't approve new fire safety regulations.
At their meeting last night, the board agreed to move up a vote on the regulations from June to May.
Assistant Fire Chief Mark Warfle says that's good enough to keep firefighters on the job.
"And what I heard them saying was this is important. This is good," says Warfle. "We need to be responsible. We need to act on this sooner then the date we previously set. So their willingness to make a change, that gives me some confidence."
After an Owego firefighter died in a fire last year, the state cited the department for lax safety standards. The board only agreed to vote on the half of the new operations manual dealing with safety in May. The other half deals with administrative policies and remains disputed.

Just got my car done yesterday at Krown. Guy was so nice that he gave me both student discount(turned out to be $5 off other than 10% off) and this can of spray http://www.krown.com/coupon.php .
He also told me the best time of the year to get it done is spring! (I used to believe it's early winter.) For he said the whole winter the car is actually frozen. Rust only starts when it gets warm in spring. That makes some sense.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked bonnieb for this post.

I'm a firm believer that the best way to prevent rust it to wash your car often in the winter and it keeps your car and clothes white free
I also oil sprayed every autumn. Never tried Krown but heard lots of good things about them. If you're in Kitchener, try Houghton up on Victoria street. They've been doing this for years and it's all they do really. $65 bucks but go early or else there's always a long lineup.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked Ironballz for this post.

The Canadian Army did some research into rust proofing for field equipment and combat vehicles. They didn't even consider Ziebart.
The 2006 report is here:
Based on army research done in 1999:
"....In 1999, DSVPM requested QETE to evaluate CPCs for application to Canadian Army vehicles [8] [9].Seven CPCs (i.e., Rust Block, Dura Tech 2000, Dura Tech Plus, Rust Check, Krown T-40, #900 Rust Proofing Oil, and Fluid Film) were evaluated by QETE. It was found that only Krown T-40 met all the established property limits....."
New army tests done in 2006:
In a benign environment, the CPCs tested, performed equally well. In more severe environments,... Corrosion Free, Formula 3000 showed the most corrosion inhibition.
The 2006 test:
CPC............................................ Manufacturer
WD-40...................................... WD-40 Products (Canada) Ltd.
Corrosion Free, Formula 3000.... Canadian Tire
ACF-50 ..................................... ..Lear Chemical Research Corp.
LPS-2 ..........................................LPS Laboratories
Krown T-40 .................................Krown Body Maintenance
Rustcheck Dripless ......................Rust Check Corp.
Corrosion Block ...........................Lear Chemical Research Corp.
Boeshield T-9 ..............................PMS Products Inc.
Rustcheck Red ............................Rust Check Corp.
2006 Test Results:
The Canadian Tire rustproofing product significantly out performed all the others in severe (metro) service. They were all about equal in rural service
What is really surprising is how well WD40 performed. It is equal to/ better than both RustCheck products and a little worse than Krown T40
BTW, the US Army uses something called CarWell CP90 :
It turns out that this is a Krown product (T-32):

I've had my brand new Toyota for a week. It has less than 500km on it. Should I take it to Krown and get it done right away, or wait until the spring, as some have metnioned?
If I do it now, should I get the underbody carwashed BEFORE taking it to krown, or does krown wash it before they spray it?
How long does it take to do the car at Krown? Does it take minutes? Hours?Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked najibs for this post.

i just got a new car last month
and been looking into rust proofing
i've decided to wait until it starts clearing up(spring)
just because even though you/they may wash it...there still might be areas that they miss to wash off.
so that means that when they undercoat the body..so that salt they/you missed will just stay under the coating_______________

I'd go with Krown as well, their attention to detail is pretty good. They drill some holes in strategic locations, fill it with silicone lube (at least that's what it looks like), and then cover the rest of the underbody with their oil spray. I have had to wipe some oil off some areas of my car (trunk hinge and a few spots under the hood), but that's likely from excess run-off.
They actually only took 20 minutes with my car, but they said it was because they had everybody working on my car that time._______________

Supposedly it's useless on cars.
As for the original question, I use Krown. I park in underground parking so I get it done in the fall before I get into situations where the accumulated snow and salt melts off every time I park for the night.

i dont understand how a rustproof company can guarantee no rust will appear.
there is no way to stop rust 100%.
I believe the best thing to do if you buy a brand new car, is to get rustproofed from the factory.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked BobyYoo for this post.
