Asked to provide a snap shot of his rookie players during University of Vermont basketball media day this afternoon at Patrick Gym, men's coach Mike Lonergan dug a piece of paper out of his pocket.
"Got to make sure I remember all my guys," he said.
In other words, there are a lot of new faces on this season's squad, seven newcomers in all. Lonergan and UVM women's first-year coach Lori McBride gave a quick scouting report of each:
Catamount men
Ryan McKeaney, 6-foot-9 freshman center from Martlton, N.J.
Mike Lonergan: "He's going to play behind a lot of good players … he's got a lot of work to do in the weight room to but stronger, he's very fundamentally sound and has a nice outside touch. I think he has a good future."
Matt Glass, 6-foot-8 junior forward from Underhill, Vt.
ML: "Eligible now after sitting out after transferring from UMass. Terrific shooter, pretty good rebounder; we are going to really have to get him to get inside and mix it up a little bit. He's definitely capable and I know he's hungry. … Most likely at the beginning (of the season) will be a starter. Great homecoming for him."
Josh Elbaum, 6-foot-3 guard from Wheatley, N.Y.
ML: "He's a point guard we signed late in the spring. He's a big point guard, very good defender, and he'll have an opportunity to fight for minutes right away at that position, which is an unproven position for us."
Sandro Carissimo, 6-foot-2 guard from Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.
ML: "He's a shooting guard. … Very athletic wing, pretty good shooter and can get to the basket. Has done very well in the preseason fighting for minutes."
Clancy Rugg, 6-foot-8 freshman forward from Burlington
ML: "I think he's going to be a good player for us. He needs to get a little stronger. … He's got a nice jump shot, he's athletic, he's a hard worker."
Brian Voelkel, 6-foot-6 freshan forward from Pleasantville, N.Y.
ML: "Truthfully, will probably be a starter or one of our top seven players right away because he's already physically ready for college basketball. Arguably he's one of the strongest guys on the team right now. Excellent passer. … Doesn't have a true position, kind of like Marqus (Blakely) when he came here. … Tremendous basketball IQ and I think he'll be a great player right away for us."
Luke Apfeld, 6-foot-8 forward from Wolfeboro, N.H.
ML: "Didn't get to play last year (because of ACL tear), he's finally healthy; the key will be can he stay healthy with the knee surgeries he's had. … Terrific recruit for us and we have expectations."
Catamount women
Jasmine Cooper, 6-foot freshman guard from Columbus, Ohio
Lori McBride: "(She's been) exciting to watch in our preseason and in our practices thus far. Very athletic and she's going to bring this instant burst of energy to the floor when she plays."
Sam Simononis, 5-foot-8 freshman guard from Perkasie, Pa.
LM: "Also an Energizer Bunny on the floor. She really does a great job on the perimeter defending and attacking."
McKenzie Kudron, 6-foot-2 freshman forward from New Boston, Mich.
LM: "Has been a big inside presence. She's going to be really important inside on the boards and just really being able to block shots. She's an excellent shot blocker."

This seller has a barn full of at least eight early Chevrolet pick-up trucks and also one lovely '55 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop survivor. The trucks have apparently been in the barn for years, and it is time for them to go. Find them listed both together here on Craigslist near Boulder, Colorado starting at $5k, and several of them also listed individually below. Special thanks to BaT reader John M. for this submission!
Who do I call about the Trucks…what's the Number.
I would like to purchase one of those trucks that are in this huge barn. Who do I call.
Where is this barn located and how do I see what he has available I'm looking for a restoration on a 55-57
I want them all!! That is an awsome collection
The silver truck is a GMC not sure what year
I sent my wife to the barn
then got on a plane
never been happier
I learned to drive in a red '59 with a service bed and a spotlight. Those trucks were mini-tanks. They would take a beating and run all day.
I think the silver truck is a '55. Single headlights…egg-crate grill.
We have to put our cool stuff away for 6 months out of the year, otherwise it starts to return to the earth from whence it came. Where's that cosmic continental car karma balance?
The cool weather is out east. We got the cool stuff in the west to maintain continental balance.
Why is all the cool stuff I want always way out west?
I'm sure that out there somewhere a shrink will be able to explain where the commonality lies between folks who collect stamps and those who collect pickup trucks. I mean is one a hobby and the other a mania? Don't let me be misunderstood because I think that it's beautiful to collect pickup trucks and I could be inspired to do it myself if I lived in the United States. Alas I'll have to remain contented with my mania for collecting stamps.
some folk are just greedy
sanford and son had a Ford…
the craigs list ad states that they range from 5k—20k but I see 32k and 28 k above.. I like the idea of this whole collection sitting in a barn but I wish he would put together a proper list with a simple description and a price for each truck that is offered, it would make the whole thing a bit more civilized. then again this dude's collection "isn't gonna be given away" but is for sale..and half assed marketed at best.
I like the red one with dual headlights. Good thing it's in CO and I'm not!
That is one big a$$ barn! It's got to be 100′ long+/- !!
The ad leaves little to be desired, might as well send an open invitation to low ballers and time wasters. He's got some great old trucks there, hope they go to a good home. Good luck!
Oh this is just excellent. Cue the theme from "Sanford & Son".
Heck, I wish I had a barn!
I wish the Northeast had more barns…..
I remember reading an article 10+ years ago about how General Motors and company didn't have a corporate buy back program in the late 50's and 60's and some dealers had stock that didn't sell so they got placed on adjacent lots and forgotten, and there was one of these where the trucks recently came up for sale all with little or no miles on them, left neglected to the elements.
This almost reminds me of that, although these have likely fared much better.
Did you mean to enter this number as a bid? If so please use the bidding box above.

Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino has vowed never to manage a club without total control of transfer policy.
The 41-year-old Saints boss has revealed Tottenham have not contacted him about replacing sacked manager Andre Villas-Boas.
The former Argentina defender poured scorn over speculation linking him with a move to White Hart Lane, by praising Saints chairman Nicola Cortese's staunch backing.
Question marks have been raised in the wake of Villas-Boas' departure as to where the recruitment power lies at Tottenham.
Former Chelsea boss Villas-Boas long championed a technical director for Spurs and got his wish when Italian Franco Baldini arrived from Roma in June.
However, noises around Villas-Boas have started to suggest Baldini held greater sway than the now-unseated manager.
Pochettino said he would not want to work in a set-up where board-level decisions conflicted with managerial vision.
Southampton host Tottenham at St Mary's Stadium in Barclays Premier League action on Sunday, seven days after the 5-0 home humiliation by Liverpool that led to Villas-Boas' removal.
Coach Tim Sherwood will be in the Spurs' dugout.
"We have a very good working relationship with the chairman, we decide together as a team, even within, what players get signed," Pochettino said.
"And it's always the okay of the manager that makes it go ahead.
"It's clear as well that new players to this league need time to adapt.
"In our case (Dejan) Lovren, (Victor) Wanyama and (Dani) Osvaldo have different times to establish themselves and adapt to this league.
"It's easier for three players to adapt than 10 in Tottenham's case, but new players need patience and some of them need longer than others."
Pochettino said he is not in talks to extend his Southampton contract, that expires in summer 2015, but is happy with his lot at St Mary's Stadium.
"I have until next season, but we have not spoken about it yet," he said.
"It's not up to me, it's not my decision.
"I have a contract until the end of next season, and at the moment we're fully focused on the game ahead, nothing else."
Pochettino refused to allow speculation linking him with Tottenham to act as any kind of vindication of progress at Southampton.
He said: "It has absolutely no effect on me, neither in a positive nor a negative way.
"First of all I don't read any press, or very little, and it's something that I don't need.
"I don't need to be flattered in order to confirm the good work that we're doing here.
"We know that we're doing a good job here, that we have a good team that's playing the way we want it to play.
"And it's not something that I need to confirm the work that we're doing here."
Pochettino admitted the jury is still out on an appeal against the violent conduct charge the Football Association have levelled at striker Osvaldo.
Osvaldo was hit with the charge after a touchline rumpus at St James' Park last weekend when Southampton held Newcastle to a 1-1 draw.
He said: "We're analysing the situation, we're studying the situation.
"We have until December 23 to make a decision to appeal.
"There's a process: he's been charged by the FA, we've reviewed the images and there's nothing clear from the images from our point of view.
"And I think it's all a bit confusing at the moment."

MILWAUKEE (WITI) — The gun violence in Milwaukee continues — and another innocent victim is shot. Milwaukee police are investigating after a 20-year-old woman was shot as she was standing at a bus stop on Thursday morning, July 31st.
It happened shortly before 11:00 a.m., in the 4200 block of N. 27th Street.
Police say the woman was shot as she stood at the bus stop — from rounds fired by a suspect likely shooting at a passing car.
She was taken to the hospital for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.
Demetria Darling says she heard four to six shots.
"After I put my kids on the floor, I ran outside and I heard the girl — the 20-year-old girl at the bus stop screaming just like, 'I got shot. I got shot.' I ran over to calm her down and a man came out and put the shirt around her leg to stop it and she was bleeding real bad," Darling said.
FOX6 News has obtained surveillance video that shows a white SUV headed north, and a white car headed south.
The SUV, witnesses say, was an Escalade.
The surveillance video shows that vehicle stop, and shots are fired at the car.
The video then shows the car take off — as the Escalade makes a U-turn to follow it.
A bullet hit the young woman waiting for a bus with her sister at a nearby bus stop. The video shows the woman falling to the ground after she was struck in the leg.
"I was just talking to her and making sure that she calmed down — had her doing breathing — telling her to breathe as she was feeling the burning sensation. I'm just really tired of what's going on around here. I got a one and two-year-old an it's just not safe. It's not," Darling said.
Witnesses say there were several people — including young children near the bus stop at the time of the shooting. Many ran from the gunfire. Trammel Currin was one of them.
"After the white Escalade came, all I heard was the gunshots going off. The white Escalade stopped traffic. Everyone stopped behind him and you heard four shots going off. I was about to take off because I heard the shots. I turned around and all I saw was the girl at the bus stop crying and holding her leg," Currin said.
The surveillance video obtained by FOX6 News shows a car stop near the bus stop. Witnesses say the man inside took off his own shirt and tied it around the bleeding woman's leg.
"It's not fair. All these innocent people dying — just getting harmed from these ignorant dudes out here. Whoever it is — you just need to go back home," Darling said.
Just last week, Pastor John McVicker stood behind Milwaukee's Police Chief and Mayor at 37th and Hadley — as they condemned the reckless shooting that injured two children.
"It's almost as if the message is falling upon deaf ears. We have to continue to drive home the same message — that maybe people learn by repetition. I think we did when we were kids, so I think it's the same way. Truth has to be continued to be hammered until someone gets the message," McVicker said.
The investigation is ongoing — and police say no one is in custody.

Delays in the Kevin Randleman case are frustrating prosecutors and slain police Officer Andrew Dunn's family members.
Randleman, facing the death penalty if convicted in the March 19 shooting death of Dunn, appeared before Erie County Common Pleas Court Judge Tygh Tone for another pretrial hearing Thursday.
Tone has issued rulings on almost every motion in the case, including 50 filed by defense attorneys Robert Dixon and Jeff Whitacre.
But two outstanding motions — one on future hearing dates and the another to change the location of the trial — are scheduled for oral arguments within 10 days.
A key expert witness for the defense has been suffering medical problems that are delaying the release of a report. That, in turn, is delaying the case, Dixon said Thursday.
The report will reflect the expert's opinion on an anticipated Atkins hearing, where the court determines if Randleman is mentally incapacitated in any way.
The report's findings could affect Randleman's eligibility for execution if he's found guilty of aggravated murder and receives a death sentence.
The Atkins precedent is established by a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in which judges said the execution of a mentally disabled person violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment, according to the Ohio Public Defender's Office.
There is an increasing national consensus that executing a mentally disabled person is excessive punishment, the Ohio Public Defender's Office has said.
On Thursday, Erie County prosecutor Kevin Baxter said he isn't questioning the validity of the defense expert's medical problems, but he believes the report should be ready by now.
"(The report) should be a spell-check matter by now," Baxter said. "We need to know where everyone is in the process."
Defense attorneys, however, are scrutinizing all details in the case.
"It's only one chance to do it right," Dixon said.
Dunn's family has expressed to the court their frustrations about the trial being delayed from its original January start date, Tone said. Randleman's family, too, has expressed similar sentiments.
"Frustration cannot dictate how we proceed on this case," Tone said. "As much as I'm frustrated by a delay, I have no control over it."
The next pretrial hearing is set for March 5.
Tone and attorneys said they hope by then to have a better idea of how quickly the case will progress.
Defense attorneys have also said Randleman is suffering medical problems as a result of two gunshot wounds he sustained the night Dunn died. Police say Dunn returned fire before he died, shooting
Randleman twice.
Randleman has been experiencing pain that interferes with his ability to assist with his trial preparation, including participating in examination by experts, his attorneys said.
A physician has recommended Randleman consult a pain management doctor because a nerve block may be necessary to alleviate the ongoing pain.
On Thursday, Tone ordered deputies to take Randleman from the jail to his scheduled doctor's appointments as needed.

Car parking permit call as spaces hit by shoppers
Posted: January 21, 2013|
DRIVERS who have lost their parking spaces in The Suffolks said they would support the introduction of new permits.
Many said they were willing to take the £80 hit and shell out for residents' parking permits if it meant they could park closer to home.
A revised parking zone covering most of Montpellier up to Andover Road was introduced last year, forcing many shoppers and workers in the town to park in other nearby roads.
Residents in Ashford Road, Andover Street, Gratton Road and Painswick Road claimed they are being worst hit, as many all-day parkers clog up residential streets there instead.
Ashford Road resident Peter Todd had called for a fresh public consultation to address the issue.
"People are reluctant to pay money to be able to park in their own street, but it has got to the point where they would rather do that than the current situation," he said.
"It is not practical and residents are behind a parking permit scheme. The county council has accepted something needs to change and a consultation will hopefully reflect that.
"At the moment it is stopping people shopping in Bath Road because there is nowhere for them to park."
A group of those worst hit carried out a door-to-door survey to find out what their neighbours thought.
Three questions were asked about parking problems.
Of the households which took part, 84 per cent said parking had got worse since the Zone 8 residents parking area was implemented.
A further 69 per cent would support a permit scheme for residents. A county council- backed petition gathered before Zone 8 parking regulations were implemented collected 2,547 signatures in favour of the new zone boundaries.
Of those, just 79 were from addresses in the area now affected by parking overspill.
"Living in the town centre, we all accept that parking and access for deliveries and contractors will be affected by short-term parkers," added Mr Todd.
"We accept, and indeed encourage, such visitors to the area.
"However, increased concentration of all-day parkers is creating an impossible and unacceptable disruption.
"People now regularly resort to parking on pavements and street corners, just to find anywhere to park, making road and pavement use more difficult and dangerous for everybody.
"Our own survey demonstrates the considerable current depth of concern."
Letters have been sent out to residents by the county council advising them of a public consultation to start next month.

Council Member Mike Martinez has devoted virtually his entire career to public service. Before taking office in 2006, Council Member Martinez served as an Austin firefighter for 13 years. In 1993, Council Member Martinez served as a Drill and Ceremony team member of the Austin Fire Department's Honor Guard. During his tenure, he served as a leader in the firefighting community.

Council Member Martinez has passed resolutions to create a City Department of Arts and Culture, worked towards making the Trail of Lights Festival carbon neutral, improved staffing levels and living quarters at Fire Stations throughout the City, and adopted an ordinance to lead Austin into being a sweat shop free Community by supporting goods that emphasize humane and legal labor practices. Council Member Martinez sponsored a comprehensive rewrite of the local campaign finance ordinance that improves transparency, restricts contributions from PACs, and provides clear ways to enforce campaign finance laws.
Council Member Martinez has made preserving the historic character of Austin a priority, and has worked diligently to find creative solutions to tackle the problem of rapidly rising property taxes in East Austin. In December 2006, Council Member Martinez sponsored a resolution that saved historic Oak Springs in East Austin from development, which otherwise would have become a strip mall. In January 2007, Council Member Martinez sponsored an ordinance to create a Homestead Preservation District, which combats the effects of skyrocketing home values by using a portion of increased property taxes to fund innovative affordable housing efforts in East Austin. He was the only Council Member to vote against relocation of the animal shelter to East Austin, and stood strong against the proposed landfill in the Webberville neighborhood. Council Member Martinez sponsored a resolution to initiate a Hispanic Quality of Life Initiative which will conduct an extensive evaluation of Hispanic quality of life issues in Austin, and ultimately enable the City to make substantial and meaningful positive changes for the entire community.
Council Member Martinez serves as the Chair of the Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise and Small Business Council Subcommittee. He also serves as the Chair of the Public Safety Task Force, which he worked to create in 2006. He is a member of the Judicial Committee and the Public Health and Human Services Subcommittee, and sits on the Capital Metro Board of Directors.

Council Member Garza comes from a very civically engaged family. Her parents, a firefighter and a stay-at-home mom, were very involved in their community and encouraged their three daughters to give back and pursue higher education. Council Member Garza's upbringing inspired her to dedicate her career to public service and advocating for working families.

Council Member Garza lived in Dove Springs while a fire cadet and in 2003, she purchased her home in her responding territory near the Sweetbriar neighborhood.
As a firefighter and member of the Austin Firefighter Association, Local 975, Council Member Garza worked tirelessly for her union advocating for fair wages and safe working conditions.

Sawdust Pie
- Makes one 9-inch pie
Believe it or not, there are pecan pies that don't call for corn syrup! Another old favorite, from the 1930s, was to use buttery cracker crumbs instead of the graham crackers. The crumbly but good texture of this pie accounts for its name.
- 7 egg whites
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 11 crackers), finely ground
- 1-1/2 cups finely chopped Georgia pecans
- 1-1/2 cups sweetened grated coconut, thawed
- 1 9-inch unbaked deep-dish pie shell
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Place the egg whites, sugar, cracker crumbs, pecans and coconut in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell and place in oven. Bake until glossy and set, 25 - 30 minutes.
The pie will be firm around the edges but moist and chewy in the center. Let the pie cool, then slice and serve with fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Cesar Chavez's son continues fight for immigration reform
It's been several days since House Speaker John Boehner made it crystal clear that Comprehensive Immigration Reform is dead in the water.
While disheartening and frustrating for those who have been pushing for change, the fight does not stop now.
"My father used to say that the struggle continues and you only lose when you stop fighting," said Paul Chavez, son of the well-known Mexican-American Civil Rights Activist Cesar Chavez.
Chavez says this current immigration battle is much like the one his father fought before him in that it is all about respect.
"As my father said, once they respect you, they will treat you right, pay you a fair wage for a day's labor," Chavez said. "I have to believe that's the same issue with immigration reform."

Interview: Harry Connick, Jr., His Daughter, and Their 'American Girl' Collaboration
Monday, September 12th, 2011
I recently had the chance to sit down with singer and actor Harry Connick, Jr. and his 13-year-old daughter Kate to talk about their partnership with American Girl as well as Harry's parenting experience. American Girl's newest dolls, Cécile and Marie-Grace, are from New Orleans circa 1853. Despite their different appearances and backgrounds, the girls become best friends. To accompany the release of the dolls, Harry wrote a song about friendship, "A Lot Like Me," and Kate recorded it. All proceeds from downloads of the song benefit the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music, a performance space and center for music education in New Orleans.
How did you become involved in this partnership with American Girl?
Harry: American Girl was interested in two New Orleans–themed dolls, and I'm from New Orleans, so they wanted to see what I had to offer. We thought it would be cool to have Kate be a part of it too. We like working together anyway, so I couldn't think of anybody better to sing a song that I wrote. Kate truly lives the message of, 'It doesn't matter what's on the outside, it's all about what's on the inside.'
The song is aimed at young girls. What was it like to write for a younger audience?
Harry: It's just a matter of writing what feels best for me. I read the stories and thought they were great. The message was so clear, it wasn't difficult to come up with a way to try to express that with a piece of music.
What do you hope girls take away from this song?
Kate: I hope they learn, as my dad said, that it's what's on the inside, not on the outside [that matters]. I've been able to travel the world and see the different backgrounds that people come from and the different religions that they follow. I've realized that it's not about what they look like.
What's important in your friendships? What do you look for in your friends?
Kate: I look for trust, loyalty, and kindness. I think if you have those three things then you have something special.
You two share an interest in music. Do you plan to collaborate in the future?
Harry: I hope we get to do something again. My life is spontaneous and things just kind of happen. I look forward to years and years of working with Kate in different capacities. (more…)

East Cooper Medical Center was named Top Performer on Key Quality Measures by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America. East Cooper Medical Center was recognized by The Joint Commission for exemplary performance in using evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for certain conditions. East Cooper Medical Center was specifically recognized for its achievement in attaining and sustaining excellence in pneumonia and surgical care. The ratings are based on an aggregation of accountability measure data reported to The Joint Commission during the 2012 calendar year.
East Cooper Medical Center and each of the hospitals that were named as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures must: 1) achieve cumulative performance of 95 percent or above across all reported accountability measures; 2) achieve performance of 95 percent or above on each and every reported accountability measure where there are at least 30 denominator cases; and 3) have at least one core measure set that has a composite rate of 95 percent or above and (within that measure set) all applicable individual accountability measures have a performance rate of 95 percent or above. A 95 percent score means a hospital provided an evidence-based practice 95 times out of 100 opportunities to provide the practice. Each accountability measure represents an evidence-based practice – for example, giving aspirin at arrival for heart attack patients, giving antibiotics one hour before surgery, and providing a home management plan of care for children with asthma.
"East Cooper Medical Center and all the Top Performer hospitals have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to quality improvement and they should be proud of their achievement," says Mark R. Chassin, M.D., FACP, M.P.P., M.P.H., president and chief executive officer, The Joint Commission. "We have much to celebrate this year. Nearly half of our accredited hospitals have attained or nearly attained the Top Performer distinction. This truly shows that we are approaching a tipping point in hospital quality performance that will directly contribute to better health outcomes for patients."
"We understand that what matters most to patients at East Cooper Medical Center is safe, effective care. That's why East Cooper Medical Center has made a commitment to accreditation and to positive patient outcomes through evidence-based care processes. East Cooper Medical Center is proud to receive the distinction of being a Joint Commission Top Performer on Key Quality Measures" says Jason Alexander, CEO.
In addition to being included in the release of The Joint Commission's "Improving America's Hospitals" annual report, East Cooper Medical Center will be recognized on The Joint Commission's Quality Check website (www.qualitycheck.org). The Top Performer program will be featured in the December issues of The Joint Commission Perspectives and The Source.

Great pie!! Make them in bulk because they would be around long.
Not what I expected. Used margarine since I had an excess on hand and the result was a very greasy and dense dessert. Okay, but I will definitely modify if I make it again.

The coral-rimmed island of Pamalican in the Philippines, surrounded by crystal clear water and white sand, offers an idyllic, secluded beachside retreat for a ceremonial wedding blessing. Bahay kubo, Philippine style dwellings, dot the island, each with a beach, hillside or treetop setting. Amanpulo also offers one three-bedroom Villa Home and one four-bedroom Villa Home, both set within lush tropical gardens with easy access to the pristine white sand beach.
A wedding ceremony with a coconut palm arch and aisle adorned with seasonal tropical flowers can be celebrated on the champagne-soft powder beach itself. Local Filipino musicians serenade the couple with traditional guitar and harp music, and poetry is read before the couple exchange vows and rings at sunset. The reception can be held beneath the bougainvillea-laden trellises that overlook the pool, aboard one of Amanpulo's luxury boats or even in Pamalican Island's romantic grotto.

In an attempt to rein in opposition to a potential compromise with Democrats , Speaker John Boehner is eliminating potential roadblocks on some key House committees. Yesterday two congressmen, Tim Huelskamp of Kansas and Justin Amash of Michigan, were removed from the agriculture and budget committees, respectively. Today both men spoke with the press and at the Heritage Foundation's Blogger's Briefing to discuss their removal. At Heritage Huelskamp told the crowd,
As has often been said, no good deed goes unpunished… We were not notified about what might occur. It confirms in my mind the deepest suspicions that most Americans [have] about Washington D.C. It's petty, vindictive, and if you have any conservative principles you will be punished for articulating them. For the freshman class of two years ago we were only asked three things. You have to first help the Republican team in terms of fundraising. Frankly, I have done that. I think the other folks who have been punished have done that as well. In exchange for that, in exchange for notifying the leadership how you would vote, you will be able to vote your conscience and your district. I have done exactly that and so have most of my colleagues. It just so happens I have a conservative conscience and a conservative district. They are very thrilled with my votes and will confirm their deepest suspicions that it's not about principles, it's about blind obedience.
Conservative Senator Jim DeMint and the Heritage Foundation released a strong statement against the Boehner counteroffer. Roll Call reports,
"Speaker Boehner's $800 billion tax hike will destroy American jobs and allow politicians in Washington to spend even more, while not reducing our $16 trillion debt by a single penny," the South Carolina Republican said in a Tuesday release. "This isn't rocket science. Everyone knows that when you take money out of the economy, it destroys jobs, and everyone knows that when you give politicians more money, they spend it. This is why Republicans must oppose tax increases and insist on real spending reductions that shrink the size of government and allow Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money."
DeMint's reaction is not the only conservative stone thrown. Hours after Boehner released the counteroffer, The Heritage Foundation declared it "a dud."
In another piece, Roll Call described why the leadership decided to shake up the committee assignments:
According to a GOP aide familiar with the situation, Schweikert was told that he was ousted in part because his "votes were not in lockstep with leadership."
All of the lawmakers, apart from Jones, were rebellious right-wingers. Huelskamp and Amash both voted against the budget proposed by Budget Chairman Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin in committee and on the floor, saying it did not cut spending fast enough. They also voted against the current continuing resolution that is funding the government through the end of March.
How much leverage do House Republicans have over Democrats in the looming fiscal cliff standoff? As Alana mentioned earlier, if a deal isn't reached, a growing majority of Americans would blame the GOP for the failure. Many conservatives seem to believe that Boehner's pragmatism is a sign of a total abandonment of conservative principles. House conservatives are under the impression that Americans have given them a mandate for solving the fiscal cliff crisis. While that is the case, Americans also voted to keep the Senate and White House under Democratic control.
If voters wanted conservatives to hold out for conservative principles, they would have voted for a Tea Party conservative in the presidential primaries and would have also elected many more of the Tea Party candidates who ran for Senate last month. The hope of House conservatives that they can get more from the House leadership (and from the Senate and White House for that matter) is a fantasy that could sink GOP popularity ratings. Boehner's committee reshuffling today was an attempt to maintain control of the only branch of government the GOP currently holds. Boehner is fighting a war over the fiscal cliff on two fronts; today we saw him hit back at his right flank.

I write. I fish. I dig earth, raise plants, live politics and kill wild animals. I drink bourbon, wear seersucker or Wranglers with equal aplomb and wish I owned a farm. But most of all I think daily about new ways to eat anything that walks, flies, swims, crawls, skitters, jumps - or grows. I am the omnivore who has solved his dilemma.
Smoked Bluefish Pate

Ah, the unloved bluefish. I grew up catching and eating these oily, oceanic piranhas, and I love them still. Smoked bluefish is one of my favorite smoked fish, largely because I can then make this pate from it.

Wild Mint Leaf Ice Cream
By Hank Shaw on July 2, 2015 | 5 Responses
Mint ice cream is pretty common, but usually it's made with mint extract. But if you make your ice cream by infusing the mint leaves into the cream overnight, you get a much stronger, more herby mint flavor you will not forget.

Classic Walnut Ketchup
By Hank Shaw on June 15, 2015 | 16 Responses
Yep. Walnut ketchup. Ketchup used to be a lot more varied than just tomatoes. This is a classic British recipe made with young, green walnuts – black walnuts, here – results in a sauce that tastes astonishingly like A1 steak sauce. Give it a go!

It is often a desperate move scratch at something with your keys. At best you will tear up whatever you are trying to cut or pry, at worst you will break your key and be stranded. I've tried to make a keychain tool that could replace a small pocket knife or utility knife -- so I would think 'where are my keys?' instead of 'where are the scissors?'
The first half shows how to make a simple saw keychain. In the second half I do some more detailed grinding to make a knife-like tool that fits well in my finger tips.
Some key points:
- Sawzall blades are very tough metal
- Drilled hole with dremel grinder
- Shaped and cut with bench grinder
Here is a video of the final tool:
Step 2: Mark hole and length
I used an old screwdriver to make scratches to mark the length and hole.
Step 3: Start hole with center punch
Step 4: Make a hole
I tried a regular drill bit with poor results.
A blue grinder from a dremel kit worked well, the bit was nearly destroyed.
I made a jig by putting nails into a board very close the blade.
Step 5: Is the hole big enough?
The hole here is a little too small to fit over both rings of the keychain. Measuring the keychain, the hole needs to be almost 0.2"
Step 6: Grind to a shape
Removing several teeth makes the saw easier to hold.
Step 7: Polish on grinder
Cloudy with a chance of "Who puts a razor sharp blade within 3" of their _____"
Ha! Somebody with 4 little kids.
Be sure to keep that out of your pocket and well away from your nuts.

I bought The Road before my son was born, but now, it's impossible for me not to think of Simon whenever I pick it back up, which makes it all the more heartwrenching.
This is one of my favorite parts of the book.
For me, at least, it's a simple-yet-poignant description of how a child, especially a child who has been through what the Boy has been through, would understand God. Given all that his father's done for him, I think it's only natural that the Boy can think of God only in terms of his father. Plus, earlier in the book, the Boy and the Man are described as "the other's entire world" (or something like that), and I find that to be a natural conclusion to such a thought.

Grandparents' lasting tribute to the six tragic Philpott children
Posted: April 28, 2013|
THE grandfather of the six Philpott children killed in a Derby fire has revealed their headstones will be engraved with dedications from their grandparents.
Mairead Philpott's father, Jim Duffy, said the stone carvings would be installed at Nottingham Road cemetery within the next two weeks.
And the 64-year-old said his life since seeing his eldest daughter jailed for 17 years for the manslaughter of her children had been "very, very hard".
Neither he, nor any members of his family, have heard from Mairead since the conviction.

Philpott children's grandad breaks the pain barrier
Mosley appeals against jail term
Mr Duffy said hearing in court an accusation that he abused Mairead as a child was "the most hurtful thing he has ever known".
And, despite walking with the aid of a stick following a knee-replacement operation, he is determined to take part in a 100-mile sponsored walk in memory of his grandchildren lost in the fire.
Mr Duffy told the Derby Telegraph he had turned down "countless offers of money" since Mairead, her husband Mick and family friend Paul Mosley were found guilty of six counts of manslaughter earlier this month.
He said it was "important to the credibility of his family" that they had refused all the offers.
He said: "I have had letters and calls from TV companies, magazines and newspapers, all saying if I spoke to them they would make it worth my while financially.
"I know a lot of other people have sold their stories but as far as I am concerned I will not take any money and will talk to who I want to about what I want to.
"It is important to me and to the credibility of my family and I owe that to my grandchildren who died."
Jade Philpott, 10 and her brothers Duwayne, 13, John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six and Jayden, five, all died from the effects of smoke inhalation when a fire swept through their Allenton home on May 11 last year.
Their parents, along with Mosley, all denied starting the blaze which the prosecution said was "a plan that went tragically wrong" – aimed at framing Philpott's former live-in mistress Lisa Willis.
But following a seven-week long trial at Nottingham Crown Court, a jury found each of the defendants guilty of six counts of manslaughter.
Philpott was jailed for life and was told it would be 15 years before he was even eligible for parole.
Mairead and Mosley were sentenced to 17 years.
Mr Duffy travelled from his home in Reginald Street, Normanton, to sit in the public gallery for almost every day of the trial.
He said: "Hearing the allegation that I abused my own daughter when she was a child was the most hurtful thing I have ever heard. It never happened, simple as that.
"I have not heard from Mairead yet, none of the family have.
"I know my daughter Bernadette has written to her and I will be doing that as well.
"When all is said and done Mairead is still my daughter but she was part of something that caused the death of those six children and she has to be punished for that.
"They were brilliant kids, happy-go-lucky, they used to joke with me, kicking away my walking stick and jumping on me.
"I have been told that their headstones will be up at the cemetery within seven to 10 days.
"All of them will be inscribed from their grandparents.
"Three will say from Peggy and John Philpott first, and then from Vera and Jim Duffy, and the other three will be the reverse way round. That is what I have been told."
Mick and Mairead will not be named on the headstones.
Mr Duffy moved his family to Derby from Dublin 29 years ago.
Mairead, 33, has siblings Jennifer, 30, Bernadette, 29, and a son Kieron, 35.
All of the Duffy children were educated at St George's Catholic Primary School, in Uplands Avenue, Littleover, and later at St Benedict Catholic school in Duffield Road, Darley Abbey.
Mr Duffy, who worked for 16 years on the night shift in the packing department at Derby-based baker Birds, in Ascot Drive, said his life changed completely following the fire and that the tragedy has had "a huge impact" on him and his family."
He said: "It's been very, very hard, especially hearing all the evidence come out in the court case.
"After hearing everything I want something positive to focus on, which is why I am taking part in the walk."
