A New Mexico veteran dying of brain cancer wants to make sure his longtime companion is taken care of.
Loca, who is 9, was rescued when she was a year old. Since then, she's been a therapy dog for a Vietnam veteran.
He's now in hospice and doesn't have much longer to live.
"(Loca) would make somebody an absolute cuddle bug," said Alan Duhon of New Mexico Animal Friends. "She loves to share a recliner, loves to share a bed. She's been in an apartment situation so she's used to staying at home."
Duhon says Loca is good with dogs her size, but not with smaller dogs or kids.
If you can't take Loca permanently, she is also looking for a foster home.
If you can help, call New Mexico Animal Friends here in Albuquerque at 505-881-7297.

I have a theory on Thai restaurants: all of them are 4 Stars because all of them taste the same and you only order them if you like Thai. So they're better than an average 3 Stars but not a spectacular 5 Stars. Chanpen is 5 Stars. More tasty and less oily than other Thai places I've ordered from (a significant number) in Midtown. Worth ordering from.

Visited by chance and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Well presented and light sauces, crunchy vegetables and fruit. There was sufficent variety to appeal to all the family. Attentive staff the water glasses were never less than half full/empty (depending on your outlook!) The only dissapointment were the washrooms which could have done with sprucing up. They have our recommendation and next time in town we will visit again.

Had a great meal here the other night. The spring rolls and dumplings are out of this world. Although I have had better, the pad thai is still very good.
Posted by Rob & Victoria on 10/21/2005
We frequent many of the Thai restaurants in the area (and there are a LOT!), but this one is exceptional. The food is tasty and well prepared, the ambience of the restaurant is very pleasant, and the service is quite good. If you are vegetarian, as we are, they offer a few dishes that are exceptional, such as the Vegetarian Duck Kra Praow: this dish is very flavorful and almost addictive. The Chu Chee Tofu is also quite good, a little more mild, and my wife's favorite. The other dishes are also very good. We have taken our families and non-vegetarians quite often, and no one has ever been disappointed! It's a little more expensive than some of the other Thai restaurants in the area, but again, we think it's quite worth it. We wish there were a few more vegetarian options (and a new Thai restaurant down the street on 9th Ave. called Cozy Thai just opened up that has LOTS of veggy options - we haven't tried it yet), but this one is still great. For comparison, there is another one down the street called Tiny Thai, also quite good, but the ambience is a little better here and perhaps more family-oriented, but more old-style and slightly less "hip" than Tiny Thai. Having said that, we often get delivery, so we don't frequent the restaurant as much anymore, but delivery is also quite fast. All in all, we love this place.

This is really GREAT Thai food. Everyone who I bring here agrees....I just fine it baffling that it is not better known.

Had delivery and it was good. I must say I was surprised. I had the panang. The hot sauce on the side was good. My spouse did say he'll stick with the Pad Thai.

I've been a regular at Chanpen for a number of years now. Never once was I disappointed. The staff is attentive, food is great and the atmosphere is always welcoming. My experience at Chanpen has always been an enjoyable one.

Random Trout Question
- s
- SusanB
Hey all, help me out here. My BF and I have been going to alot of indonesian, malaysian, thai, etc places lately, and we noticed that they all seem to emphasize trout on the menu. Trout this, trout that, deep fried trout with chili sauce, roast trout in banana leaves, etc etc etc.
But, isn't trout a cold water fish and not available in southeast asia? Which would mean that they are taking a non-authentic fish and adapting it, right? Which seems odd, as they seem to be (and Kruang Tedd is the latest example of this) emphasizing the trout on their menus as if it is a staple rather than a 'variation'.
Has anybody noticed this? I've been shying away from ordering "Trout Malaysian Style" and other SE asian versions of trout, just because I'm worried it might not work . . . should I just give in and order it? Is this a trend or something I just never noticed before?
Hi Susan, I may be wrong but this is my theory about Southeast Asian places using trout on the menu. Farmed fresh water trout is probably the closest, consistantly available here, replacement fish in flavor to the many fresh water fish
available in Asia. Tilapa might be close also, but I don't really like tilapia, trout sounds better.
I lived in Bangkok for a year and we had a wonderful cook, Dee. She prepared a dish which was a whole fried fish, with a wonderful tangy sauce that had vineger ginger peppers etc. She called it Pla ka klaong", klaong in Thai=canal. We would joke with her that she pulled it out of the nearby canal!
This also reminds me that one day I noticed Dee and the maid with a Very large, 2 ft. Gecko like lizard on a string , they had caught in in the yard. They told me it was a "tokay". I was all, "oh how pretty", and Dee said, "yes taste very good!"
re: tanyal
Thanks Tanyal! That makes some sense. And I love the description of Dee!

Bringing negative attention to homeschooling?
The internet is abuzz following remarks from Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum to the Ohio Christian Alliance in Columbus, Ohio. Described by the LA Times as perhaps the most prominent homeschooler in America, Santorum promised his audience that he intended to homeschool his children in the White House.
My first reaction was, "Yes! Homeschooling support from the White House!", but after clicking and reading through the flood of email alerts that stacked up in my inbox regarding Santorum's stance, I'm not certain his heavy-handed criticism of the public education system as "anachronistic" was the best approach for his campaign, current homeschooling families, or those already questioning the homeschooling community as a whole.
While Santorum agreed that the government can play a part in helping parents educate their children, The New York Times quoted Santorum saying:
"But the idea that the federal government should be running schools, frankly much less that the state government should be running schools, is anachronistic. It goes back to the time of industrialization of America when people came off the farms where they did home-school or have the little neighborhood school, and into these big factories, so we built equal factories called public schools. And while those factories as we all know in Ohio and Pennsylvania have fundamentally changed, the factory school has not."
It sounds like Santorum has been studying at the feet of Sir Ken Robinson, a creativity expert who detailed the inherent flaws in the public education system in his talk, Public Education a Relic of Industrial Age.
However, unlike Santorum, Robinson provided viable, albeit extreme, solutions for developing real conditions in which people flourish. Robinson focused on principles, most specifically the need for personalized learning, flexibility of time, and different methods of teaching for different learning styles; a direct contrast to the current methods of standardization and conformity.
Though we choose to homeschool our children, my husband and I recognize that the transformation of the public education system is an absolute must for our nation. With only about 5% of young people in the U.S. homeschooled, the great majority will continue to utilize the public school system to educate their children.
Do I support a diminished federal role in education policy? Absolutely.
Would I like to see the control over public education passed to parents and local school boards/communities? Yes.
Do I think Santorum's method of bashing public schools takes elegant strides in any productive direction. Not at all.
Regardless of political affiliation, do you think Santorum is bringing negative attention to homeschooling?

I am sidetracking from the main stream of conversation here — From an earlier comment — Could someone point me in the direction of more information for home schooling while working full time outside the home? How does that work? Both my husband and I work full-time jobs outside the home. Our son currently attends a daycare/preschool but we will need to choose (or thought we needed to choose) between public school or private school for him in less than two years — never believing that homeschooling could be an option for us. Any advice or direction is greatly appreciated.
Melissa A On Sunday, February 26 at 7:51 am
Another parents asked this about a year ago and there was quite the discussion:
Just a heads up, a lot of commentators will tell you that cutting back to one income shouldn't be a problem. If that is not an option for you, then disregard those comments. I think the original poster of this question couldn't cut back to two incomes, and that is obviously completely her business.
Ginger_79 On Sunday, February 26 at 3:58 am
I just wanted to add a little thought. In Germany there are a lot of changes in the school systems currently, obviousloy surrounded by a heated debate. In one of those the question was, how much control parents should have. And someone – I believe it was a teacher – said something wise, that for me describes the heart of the problem: "Most parents don't want the best for all kids. They want the best for their kids."
I think there's a lot of truth in it.
Jan On Monday, February 27 at 1:01 am
Yep. I totally agree. And there's a real selfishness in that. Understandable, but still selfish.

If people choose a president just because of their opinion on homeschooling, we are in for it. As a person who is happy with their public schools, yes, he is bringing a lot of negative attention to homeschooling. It is a choice. This is America last I checked. Everyone needs to do what's right for themselves, and their family. Respect each other. Then stay the heck out of others business.
Lizzie On Sunday, February 26 at 3:57 pm
I am disappointed in the lack of information and understanding that is so evident in the posts in this blog. Ms. Sanders, I think your political views are apparent in how you handled this topic and I am disappointed. If I want to see Republican candidates skewered by the liberal media, I know of many other blogs and any daily newspaper that will do the same thing. We have a candidate who is a homeschooler and who points out the many flaws in public education. Believe me, I know first-hand those flaws as a public education teacher. The LA TImes is of course misleading in saying that Santorum is "bashing" public schools, and you do the same thing by passing on this hyperbole in your tagline. Most people who support homeschooling do so because they don't feel that public education is serving their children. The model that we use to educate children in public schools IS factory-like; most people homeschool because public ed. is not or cannot be more individualized. (See No Child Left Behind, constant standardized testing, etc.) Santorum is not going to get rid of public education but recognizes, as we all do , that public education has got to change. I find it interesting and telling that so many people get off topic and are emotional about his other moral stances. Why are so many people unable to address a single topic logically without bringing in other hot button topics? A lack of education???
Moya Crava On Monday, February 27 at 4:34 pm
Did you read the dialog that has transpired today. Change is good, having the choice to implement this change is good. Hot button topics, a lack of education? You owe everyone who engaged in this discussion an apology.
Barbara On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:49 am
I completely agree with you, Lizzie. This is not the place for politics, and I am thrilled that anyone brings positive attention to home schooling. I have seen the best of public schooling, and I have seen the worst. It can be truly awful; I have two adult children who can attest to that; thank goodness they were bright enough to overcome it. There is tremendous need for reform in the public school system and a huge gap between the good and the bad. In the best system I saw (we lived in 10 different states while the children were young, so I have seen a tremendous variety of school systems), the teachers were better educated (most have a doctorate) and are much better paid, per capita income in the town was higher, and parental involvement was extraordinary.
Where I now live, home-schooled children excel far beyond their public school-educated peers. The latter has only a 40% graduation rate. When a homeschooled individual enters the work force, they are far better at working independently because they've always done that in their schooling. I've watched it happen over a span of 50+ years, all over this country from a vantage point few can equal, so I have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. I completely support home schooling when a family can offer it, and when they can't, I also support a complete overhaul of the public school system. It needs to be done outside the involvement of government, however. That's a job for parents to do at the local level.
Rebecca On Sunday, February 26 at 4:40 pm
Full disclosure: I did not make it through all the comments on this post, so if I'm repeating something someone else said, I apologize.
It seems to me like the thread rapidly deteriorated from a discussion of homeschooling in the public eye into arguments about Santorum's treatment of women…which was not Heather's point. Personally, I find it amusing to see the arguments about birth control–I am a moderate-conservative, and quite "religious," and my HUSBAND and I have decided that we are not ready to have children yet, so I use birth control. I still see our marital sex as an act that can glorify God, and yet I have no compulsions about using contraceptives. I figure if God wants me pregnant, I'll get pregnant, but otherwise I think I'd rather wait.
As far as education, I was homeschooled from 3rd grade all the way through high school, and to this day I wait until I get to know people before I admit that fact, simply because there is still a lot of stigma attached. I think someone who arouses as much passion and debate as Santorum articulating such strong and partisan beliefs will certainly polarize the issue further. People who offer ultimatums and "my way or the highway" viewpoints generally only serve to marginalize their positions.
I am also an elementary teacher (gasp) and I currently work in a relatively affluent district. However, I have been repeatedly exposed to inner-city Philadelphia schools through my college education, and the two are vastly different worlds. I don't think there are really any good solutions at present; the system is old and broken. However, I do think that communities, parents, teachers, and policymakers need to take the time to investigate what WORKS in the current system, and tread gently when dealing with groups who already feel undervalued (not teachers…parents, mostly).
Maggie H. in SC On Sunday, February 26 at 6:36 pm
Thank you so much for this lively post. I often have a difficult time during the elections really understanding and knowing the issues. I often view the presidency as a pawn in a very big chess game where the player with the biggest ego wins the prize. You certainly have sparked my interest and I look forward to reading each comment left in reference to this particular issue. Thanks again.
Mandivilla On Monday, February 27 at 12:43 am
It is an interesting question, I think, OMSH. On one hand, it would be a good thing for homeschooling to have exposure (positive exposure, that is!) and maybe make it easier for some to homeschool. Some states make you jump through a lot of hoops. On the other hand, homeschooling has enough of a stigma already, and it might not be a great thing to be under the microscope. We don't want any more stereotyping. Yikes. And there is always the fear that our choice will be taken away altogether.
No matter what, we hope for the best. We live in a free country that gives us many choices about many things. I hope that we can encourage one another as we all just try to raise our families and give our children a good start in the world.
beth currier On Monday, February 27 at 7:45 am
I actually agree with Santorum. His valid points should not be discounted just because he is not "elegant." He is the only candidate talking about serious systemic changes rather than political band aids like "No Child Left Behind" or "Race to the Top" – neither one of which seeks to redress the very real flaws in our public school system.
Amber On Monday, February 27 at 12:12 pm
My point is that since I have the opportunity financially to provide other means for my children, I should do so. I didn't say there is anything wrong with outsourcing educational needs to others more qualified provided that I pay directly for those services. Forcing others through taxes to provide education for those capable for providing other educational means is stealing. Yes, I pay taxes, and gladly so in order to fund the lives of those less fortunate, but I have a problem paying for something so others can have more stuff and free time.
Melissa, Cathy, and Amanda,
I am not suggesting that you have no other choice but to homeschool. I am suggesting that you take the burden off the tax payers and take responsibility for educating your own kids if you can afford it. There are a few ways that this can be done. Private tutors, private schools, online and DVD instruction are just a few alternatives to full blown homeschooling. All of these options would take care of educational needs and allow you to take financial responsibility for your own child. I'm not trying to choose a lifestyle for anyone, I am merely asking the question, as parents, we provide everything else for our kids without the government's help, why should education be different? If a family could qualify, then I have no problem paying my taxes to support efforts to educate the needy. But families that make large amounts of money and still utilize the system remind me of those who feed off of welfare even when capable of providing for themselves.
Beth C.,
In my scenario, I didn't call for an end to all public education. That isn't reasonable. There are wonderful teachers who do a great job out there particularly those who work with special needs. Those kids who have special needs would be part of the "qualifying " I suggested. Like I said, those that qualify for the benefits should use those services. However, just because a child is born doesn't,in my opinion, make them qualify.
All others,
I think the biggest reason that my comments offends is b/c it is a drastic departure from the "norm" we all have experienced for the last 100 years. I don't mean to offend, but if we are all honest with ourselves, we can see that our nation is in so much debt! Public education is such a drain at all levels of government and compared to other nations, it doesn't provide the best return for the $$$ spent.
Bottom line, in my opinion, if you can pay for / provide for other alternatives, you should. Government reliance for everyone' educational needs is socialistic in nature. We are so spoiled to the current way of doing things that we have become blind. Reform is sometimes painful, but is necessary.
The only people who force anything on others are the ones who live off the system and expect others to provide for their lifestyle. Happy to help those who can't help themselves, but some are very capable and don't. Therein lies my beef.

My stomach is churning from all the vitriol hurled by both sides on this topic. I read many news and political sites, and come to Pioneer Woman for a break from all of that. I have always felt this site brings people of many different beliefs together in a positive way, but this topic has brought out many sharp differences in such a negative way. I hope we can all agree to disagree and move forward in a direction away from politics. And please don't flame me as an idiot who can't handle political discourse. I just don't want to see it here.
Dana On Monday, February 27 at 2:52 pm
Several times in the comments I've seen people saying that we need federal funding of public schools because "what about all the teen moms." Hello, my mother was nineteen when she had me. I'm not a serial killer, I'm not a crack dealer, and everyone keeps telling me what a great kid my 7yo daughter is. The ONLY reason teen moms have a hard time parenting is they are not adequately supported: first off, their parents did not do a good job preparing them for the real world and second off, society is more interested in harvesting babies from teen moms than it is in helping those moms support themselves and their kids.
You know, it's traditional in at least a couple of cultures to consider kids grown up when they hit about age 13 or so, or when the girls reach menarche. Certainly a child of that age is capable of operating a cash register, writing a check, putting gasoline in a car, changing a diaper, and preparing a meal. I'm not saying that we should go back to the old days where children were factory slaves (the real reason we enacted child labor laws–and you will note there are all kinds of exceptions written into them), but it's long past time we stopped treating our teenagers as though they are still helpless and in kindergarten.
Oh, and stopped feeling entitled to other people's babies just because their lives are not perfect. That would really help too.
I know this comment is not strictly on-topic, I just thought I should say something about the whole teen-mom-bashing thing. It is not like women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s always have their stuff together either, and men will as readily leave you if you're in one of those age groups as they would when you're sixteen. Women with kids need more of a support system than just a husband. That's too much to ask from any one human being, therefore not fair to men. Even when they don't leave, they're mortal and they can get sick, become disabled or die. We ALL need to be stepping up for the sake of those women we know who have children to raise. Especially when she's your sister, daughter, cousin, local friend, etc.
Mandy On Monday, February 27 at 3:08 pm
Actually Leesburg, VA is the COUNTY SEAT in the RICHEST county in America (Loudoun county)…google it if you don't believe me…so the information posted about that is incorrect. The 3 bedroom TOWNHOUSE that I live in here in Loudoun County is valued at $400,000. A plain no frills 2 bedroom single family home START at $500,000 home. For a family of more than 4 a house could very easily be 750,000 or more. People can spin anything they want to say whatever they want!! Facts aren't always the fact.
Homeschooling will ALWAYS be looked at with contempt, mostly by those who don't home school. It's a fact of life. I hear comments all the time…even by people that I consider my friends. I think people will take what Rick Santorum believes about home schooling, public schools and use it to, for lack of a better term, attack..because they hate the other *main* issues he believes in.
I chose to home school my 2 boys because I have their best interest at heart. I am responsible to myself and to God for that. Just because that is my conviction doesn't mean that it falls the same on others.
I chose to home school my kids because of 3 public school teachers that were talking at a table behind me in a Starbucks last summer. They talked for an hour on how to get kids "legally" out of religious freaks homes…their words not mine, by having the kids say they felt unsafe in the home…even if it was just a one time feeling..because legally they couldn't take them out of the home just because the parents have "oppressive" ideas and rules.
I went to a private school. I attended and graduated from a public high school on the honor roll. I went, not because my parents believed that I would get a better education but because I wanted a "high school" experience. Oh I got one and I honestly wish now that I had continued on in a private school. That's my experience and probably many others. It is what it is.
Penny On Monday, February 27 at 9:11 pm
There seems to be a lot of vitriol being spewed about this hot-button issue. With emotions running high, I'll keep my comments specifically focused on homeschooling. My children are in a public school setting, but where we live, we have magnet programs and more choices than I did when I attended public school. I did well in public school, but it had more to do with my mother EXPECTING me to do well, and not allowing me to do the bare minimum. If my children (who are in the minority there, as our magnet schools are in more urban than suburban areas, a direct result of southern schools desegregation)were not able to attend a school that I felt they were safe at and would do well in, I would homeschool them, though it would not be my first choice. I have family members with their children in private school, public school and homeschool, so I have had some exposure to their experiences. They each judged best for their unique situation, and chose accordingly. We ALL hope to make the best choice for our children. My husband and I continue to choose each year the best situation for each of them, and hope we can also teach them to respect other opinions, instead of giving them the idea that OUR choice is the ONLY right choice, and condemn or malign a different choice as wrong and deserving of disdain. There are many children in my kid's schools whose parents don't value the power of an education, and that saddens me. I regularly see teachers worry that they haven't done enough for that child, since they only have them for 6 hours a day, and the children are then back in an environment where the most they can hope for is indifference. Any teacher that says all they do is "teach the test" should rethink their methods. Exposing children to learning in many different forms just enhances learning, and can help those who learn differently (more hands-on; visual, etc)…and once you learn it, it can never be taken away.
Standing up for what you believe in is admirable, but not at the expense of cramming your views down my throat.

As a non American so I might not be qualified to join in this conversation but I have a question.
I lived in America when I was in elementary school and attended a public school.(in the 70's) My family moved a couple of times so I attended two different schools but I thrived in both of them. I can't think of any negative public school experiences. In fact I'm still very grateful for American public schools because my parents, although they both have college degrees, were not fluent in English so it would have been impossible for them to teach me at home.
I haven't been back to America since then but have American public schools changed that drastically since?

Wow, can you believe this is the first I've heard that the Santorums homeschool?! I had heard neither positive nor negative…
Tammy M On Tuesday, February 28 at 7:24 pm
Totally agree with Sir Ken. And don't think Santorums comments at all reflect Sir Ken's ideas, rather ignorance and bias…

I for one refuse to distance myself from a conservative, homeschooler when they make politically incorrect statements whether I agree with him to the last jot and tittle or not. Go Rick!

Darrell Miller On Tuesday, February 28 at 9:05 pm
I am the principal at our local church school. I have been teaching for 5 years and enjoy it extremely. As much as I like our school, I do have to admit that I would hate to see where our country would be if it wouldn't be for public schools. I think that just having the freedom to send our students where we feel they should go is a great blessing that I hope is not taken away from us.
Susan On Wednesday, February 29 at 3:05 pm
I totally agree with you about the federal (and state) governments getting out of education. I think that major decisions on a child's education should be primarily with the parent and teacher.
I've been teaching in public schools for nearly 20 years and homeschooling as well. I've seen what works and what doesn't. Making every child learn the same thing at the same time doesn't work. Putting kids in grade level classes doesn't work. Giving every child an IEP (Individual Education Plan) would be better so that every child can be taught to his/her strengths.
The problem with public schools goes beyond the current factory model issue. To some degree, our schools are a reflection of our society. Motivation and work ethic are at an all time low. I've actually seen a kid in the PS who genuinely believed that she shouldn't have to do schoolwork because she said she's going to grow up to win the lottery. Bullying is a huge issue, partly because schools are afraid of being sued for stopping them. You can't imagine the things I've heard teen say in classes and in the hallway. They are things that would get them fired from a job for sexual harassment. It's ridiculous. People may or may not agree with me on this, but I think that school should be a privilege, not a law. (I don't mean a privilege for the rich.)
Changing public schools themselves is only a band aid for the problems. Ultimately, the change needs to happen within people and families in order for any improvements to succeed.
OK, this homeschooling teacher mom is done ranting and raving. Have a great year and enjoy your kids.
Kathryn On Tuesday, March 6 at 8:44 am
If America would shift the $10,000 we spend per child from the public schools to the actual child, we would magically see the educational system transform. Make the schools earn their $ like every other business in America. The Montessori school that my children attended was able to do a whole lot more than public education with way less $.
Laura in Montana On Monday, March 12 at 12:16 am
I think that at this point in the election, ANYTHING a candidate says about a controversial subject will be fodder for the press to spin in any manner they see fit. I have heard Sen. Santorum speak much more elequolently on the issue of home schooling and the real problems facing the majority of American children who are home schooled.
Whenever the issue of homeschooling is raised in such a public way, however inartfully, there's an opportunity for thoughtful discussion. Eloquant speakers who are pro-homeschool or a more balanced discussion by Sen. Santorum can help open minds to a different opinion. I believe the majority of Americans are suspicious of homeschoolers. It took years before my family could talk to me about my kids' education at home without underlying tones of disapproval.
Whenever the topic of homeschooling is raised in my presence I embrace the opportunity to answer questions about why it is right for our family. Depending on my audience, I don't discuss the obvious failures with our public (and often private) school system, I merely discuss what I find so delightful about how we are educating our family.
The more of us who raise the positives of our choice to homeschool the better. I can't count the number of times I've heard other mom's say "I wish I could do what you're doing…" or my children's friends telling them "I wish I could have school at home like you." I encourage and focus on the positives of what I'm doing. You catch more bees with honey.
The next President will have an enormous a challenge in front of him. Not much will ever be done to reform education in this country until the teachers' union is dissolved.
Autumn On Monday, March 19 at 10:20 am
Well, I suppose there is a more artful way that Santorum could have stated his opinion on Federal involvement in education. I happen to completely agree with him as far as the home schooling issue goes in this single statement (I am not informed on other statements he may have made) and I don't cringe when there are knee jerk negative "comments" made. I believe the discussion needs to be opened up and sometimes its jarring to have to look at things in a way that is so foreign to people's programming. I do think it hurts his chances of winning the nomination of the Republican party and makes it problematic for him to win in a general election and is not the first time he's done this on any variety of subjects. However, I absolutely do not believe it hurts home schooling in general or sheds a bad light on home schooling families. We cannot be so quick to be afraid of strongly stated opinions and rush to sanitize the discussion so that we can "look good" to outsiders that are predisposed to be unfair in their appraisals of home schooling no matter how carefully we walk on egg shells in an effort to be likable.

BAKER — An afternoon thunderstorm delayed the first day in pads for Baker School's football team, but only temporarily.
As the skies cleared shortly after 4 p.m., the Gators were on the practice field taking advantage of the first day that Florida teams could go in shoulder pads. Teams can wear full gear starting Monday.
Baker coach Matt Brunson was pleased with the limited contact the team had.
"Our guys again are working hard," he said. "We put our shoulder pads and helmets on for the first time and we tried to stay off the ground, but we were able to bump into each other. Everything went good."
Senior quarterback Ben Crowson likes the start of the fall camp.
"I think things are going great," he said. "I think we are getting in shape really well. I'm glad we are starting to unite as a team."
Crowson, who broke his right arm (his throwing arm) last year, is splitting time at quarterback with Jon Beck. Crowson said the sharing of playing time is going well so far as he tries to regain his timing on his throws following his injury.
The Gators will continue to mix conditioning with the actual practices as they set their focus on the Kickoff Classic on Aug. 23, Brunson said.
'The guys are working hard and we are still spending a lot of time in the weight room and a lot of time in conditioning so it's going good," he said. "Our guys are getting in shape.
"That's the thing we want to do right now: ... establish the conditioning."

Below is the poem entitled Holy Land, Your Place, Your Flesh - which was written by poet
Bordner. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Justin Bordner
Would you crusade to remote regions
in search of that timeless tomb, the one made of seasalt & sandstone,
to towns tempered by the terror of war, windswept with worry,
Do prayer calls of the Jihadist singe the comfort breathing in your books of traditions,
could the Koran summon an instinct of journey in the feet of your hopes,
perhaps the Bardo Thadol a simmering shout from the monastery of one's monsters
suppressed in cells of selfless sorrow, daring repressed in reminiscence of rectitude,
in the Old Testament do you find aged allergies or fertile figments of prophets' pennies,
saviors in the center of gravity cinching the flinching surfacing in proverbs proofing
along the borders of the desserts chilling in the kitchen of your cares,
Maybe in front of the Wailing Wall you'd find dust entreating you to become a martyr
for the charm of morning, on your knees amid the Caaba perhaps sand jinies will jest,
in the midst of the tree grip of Angkor Watt the tongue of first life might muse of miracles
sewn into the sackcloth of parents' aspirations, conceptions wrought from the wanted,
take it to the sky, take it to the soil, take it to the core, let saints keep score,
take it 'till there is no more -

Discussion in 'Real Madrid' started by Vector-SS, Jun 27, 2011.
Welcome aboard Raphael!
Title Credit: Alma
Welcome my child and thank you for getting rid of those tired braids
Well from all reports it sounds like this boy has an excellent head on his shoulders (ala Higuain and Marcelo) which gives me great hope he will be able to fulfill his much touted potential here in Madrid despite our sometimes paralyzing, pressure cooker atmosphere for players. If he pans out anywhere near the level people are hyping him up to be we've unearthed a real gem of a CB (courtesy of Zizzou) for a bargain price so good luck and best wishes for many,many years of success here at our beloved Club Raphael!
Welcome to the club Varane.Best wishes from our side.
Welcome Varane. Hope you fulfill your potential!
Welcome to the Club Varane. I hope you can fulfill your potential. Eitherway, this deal has alot of upsides and I hope he can grow with the club.
Welcome to the greatest club on the planet, hope you perform and grow as well as our other astute young singings have.
Welcome, hopefully he''ll get a better treatment than Canales.
Welcome Varane.
Well Mourinho wanted him (mainly Zidane), so I'm sure he will. Mourinho seems to "pick out/pick on" those whom he didn't request or had no input in bringing.
Hopefully thats the case, even though Santon was his own discovery as well but he seemed to completely ignore him in his second season. Such a moody guy, that Mourinho
Very exciting player, I rate him very highly as I rarely see his sort of player. Very elegant, comfortable on the ball, and commanding. I would say a bit like Hummels.
is that really his nickname?
funny story.. I actually manually scouted this dude on Football Manager last year. Bought him "for the future." Hope he does well and will keep track of his progress.
This purchase was in the area that we needed the MOST help. I said this at the end of last season. During a Barca game, i remember both Arbeloa and Albiol playing as RB/CB. This with absolutely ZERO injuries to the start players (Ramos, Carvahlo, Pepe) and a year younger Carvahlo than would be there next year. It was a desparate area of need. In fact, Albiol played at least twice in the classicos, if not more. I'm not an Albiol hater and i appreciate ARbeloa, but i just don't believe that they are in the same class as Barca players or should even be on the pitch when Madrid plays a team as tough as Barca.
Arbeloa was incredible last year, so i don't want to take anything away from him. But with Ramos in there, I think the team is able to retain possession better and attack with some lethality.
Verane also fits in with the MO of this organization since Mou's arrival. Buy up and comers with incredible potential at value oriented prices.
BTW, if he sucks at football, perhaps he can help the bball team out. Kid towers over perez.
I wouldn't give up on Canales. In my opinion he is an incredible talent that will eventually fit into this team and be a star, if the organization is smart enough to hold on to him. Just because he didn't become a starter in his teens for Madrid, doesn't mean he won't be a future star at Madrid.
Oh btw... Varane, not Verane; his welcome video on youtube --check out the top comment : " welcome to the bench here we have one world best benchers were u can sit between kaka and benzema make ur self at home ^^"
^Haha so funny.
welcome varane!
Welcome welcome ! Wish him the best
Welcome Varane, the new generation of defense for us has arrived
Does he move in slow motion lik Garay? Or does he have a bit of pace to his this bloke?..
yes, defending isn't all about speed and pace, I'm just asking.
Good signing I guess.
10me on a 18yr old who could turn out something special > 10me euro on a 24yr old who doesn't have the coach's confidence.
Heh. There is much truth in jest.
So what do we call him? Rapha? V-Man? RV?
Raphael Vannanaro, brother of Fabio and Paolo
Jeez ruiz...... wear a proper shirt on your big day.
People say he's got a good head on his shoulders. He obviously has the talent otherwise our scouts (read Zizou) wouldn't have pushed his signing. If he can show some of that mature mentality he supposedly possesses he will surely succeed here.
Somebody buy this guy a nice suit. (smh)
edit: As for what we call him, Rafa.
Separate names with a comma.

Men's Tennis Concludes Play at Wake Forest Invitational
Oct. 14, 2012
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The NC State men's tennis team wrapped up play at the Wake Forest Invitational on Sunday. The day was full of walkovers, as many players were held out of playing, including Trey Carter, Simon Norenius, and Dave Thomson who did not play singles matches as a result.
"We have a few things to work on and that's what tournaments are for, to figure out where you are and what you need to work on in practice," said head coach Jon Choboy.
Freshman Thomas Weigel defeated Shea Thomas of Liberty in his only match of the day. Weigel dropped the opening set, 7-6 (5), but won the last two sets, 6-3, 6-2, to claim the victory.
In the A2 singles bracket, Rafael Paez fell to UNC Wilmington's Chris Cooprider, 7-6 (3), 6-0, in the consolation finals.
In doubles play, Thomson and Norenius outlasted North Carolina's Nelson Vick and Connor Daly, 8-6. Carter and Weigel fell to William Albright and Jimmy Roueche of UNC Greensboro, 8-5, in the other bracket of doubles play.
"We got to learn a lot more about the freshman after seeing them play, so it was good to get a chance to see them play so now we go back to work before the regionals start on Wednesday," Choboy said.
The Wolfpack will return to action on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at the Regional Championships held at the Cary (N.C) Tennis Park.

text: Tweet Image Source: Stock.Xchng. By: Z_reinhart. I'll bet when you think of all the studies being done on CO2 and Global Warming, you probably figure a lot of it has to do with the atmosphere or the ocean or plants of some kind—since that's what it seems to affect the most. However, scientists have recently developed a method for finding and tracking CO2 underground. Why underground? Well, consider that a lot of emissions come from power plants—coal plants and the like—so, scientists started investigating underground caverns, fissures and coal beds to find places where those emissions can be stored; thus reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. So, how do they find and track the carbon? They used colorless, non-toxic liquids called perfluorocarbon tracers. These tracers were used to fingerprint CO2 that was injected into a coal seam in New Mexico. By tracking the tracers, they were able to follow the movement of the CO2.

Best Steam Iron
|Home | Earning Disclaimer | Privacy Policy | Reviews | Steam Products | Sitemap
Panasonic Steam Iron
Panasonic really isn't a name you would expect when it comes to something like a steam iron, but they're actually in this market and they make pretty decent products. Panasonic steam irons tend to be built for the price. I'm not saying that they're junk or anything like that. They're actually pretty good and you won't have to pay much for them. Plus they have a pretty large selection that you can go through to find exactly what you're looking for. I've had the privilege of using a lot of different kinds of steam irons and I have to say that Panasonic ones are pretty darn good.
I thought what I could do is introduce you to the company and show you what is the best Panasonic steam iron that you can get. Something that I really like about their steam irons is that they make both steam and dry irons in one. Basically that means you can use steam, or you can use it as a regular iron and do your clothes the old fashion way. I think having that choice is nice when you're doing things. I'm going to introduce you to the one that I think is best.
Best Panasonic Steam Iron
The best steam iron that I've come across is definitely the Panasonic NI-C78SR Steam/Dry Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate. It's a really nice iron that has a lot of useful features, but doesn't have a big price tag. The first big feature you should know if is that it is rated at 1200 watts, which is pretty good. This means it has the power to create steam in a short period of time, which is important for the irons use. Some of the other irons on the market take forever to heat up.
As you can see from the picture to the right, the steam iron looks like any type of iron that you would buy. It has a stainless-steel curved soleplate for easy ironing. It has 5 fabric settings, a spray mist button and a self cleaning function to make things easy for you. Out of all the Panasonic steam irons, this is definitely the best one I've had a chance to use. If you'd like to get a closer look at this particular iron or get more information on it, check out the link I have below.
Click here for the Panasonic Steam Iron
I think that should give you a pretty good idea of what you should be getting if you're considering on buying a Panasonic steam iron or something similar to the one I have shown. There are actually a lot of available models available that have more features. Maybe you're looking for something that is exclusively a cordless steam iron or something like that. There are a few dozen of these Panasonic irons available on Amazon, so I'm going to put a link below that will allow you to browse through them all.

Ivan Eland: In the wake of Israel's botched attack on a Turkish ship bringing relief to Gazans from Israel's (and Egypt's) economic blockade of Gaza, the Israelis have responded to intensely negative world opinion by relaxing the blockade. That move may help Israel as much as Gazans. Ending the counterproductive economic embargo and blockade would help both parties even more.
Israel's Calculated Brutality
Jim Fuller: Israel's perpetual claims to victimhood, and a supposedly resulting right to brutalize the people of Gaza, Lebanon, and any other peoples it chooses, have worn through at last, at least in the finally opened eyes of a large and growing minority in this country. The claim is a tactic, not a truth.

Thursday, May 23, 2013
Goose Creek City Council approved a motion to purchase land off Redbank Road after an executive session at its regularly scheduled May 14 meeting.
According to Public Information Officer Jesica Mackey this gives City Administrator Dennis Harmon the authority to purchase three parcels of land near the intersection of U.S.-52 and Redbank Road.
The 0.7 acres of land was set to be purchased for $195,000, Mackey said. It is located across the street from the Berkeley Habitat For Humanity ReStore, a Wendy's and a hotel.
"On the other side there is vacant land," Mackey said, adding that the city is not sure what they will do with the land yet but plan to redevelop it.

How to Stop Eating Ice Cream
Ice cream is one of life's simplest pleasures, but this innocent-looking dairy-based confection can wreak havoc on your diet. Do you find yourself unable to resist another scoop of rocky road, even when you know you should've stopped a bowl and half ago? Read on to find out how to cut down your ice cream intake without compromising your emotional, mental, or physical health.
1Bypass the ice cream aisle when you're in the grocery store. The same goes for Coldstone, Baskin Robbins, and even your friendly neighborhood ice cream truck. Avoid these places whenever possible--otherwise you'll just be subjecting yourself to temptation.Ad
2Indulge yourself in healthy alternatives. As simple as it sounds, this is a huge part of weaning yourself off of sugary, addictive ice cream. Fruit is a perfect example of a way to get good sugar in your diet without having to ingest anything processed or unnaturally sweet. Smoothies and sorbet are also substantial improvements, although you still need to keep an eye out for calories and sugar content if you're watching your weight.
3Distract yourself with other activities. Exercise is ideal, of course, since it both keeps you away from ice cream and helps burn any fat you've already consumed. However, any kind of activity works: playing and listening to music, going shopping, even just spending time with friends (which is extra helpful if they're trying to stay away from ice cream too).
4Join Weight Watchers or Food Addicts Anonymous if you're really struggling with your weakness for ice cream. These groups cater to extreme cases, of course, but they do give you a very rigid sense of what and what not to eat. If that's the kind of control you need in order to successfully give up ice cream, then go for it.
5Don't stress out if you slip up once or twice. Lots of people succumb to food cravings and get discouraged, then completely forget about their diets. But just because you fall off the wagon, doesn't mean you can't get right back on! Be prepared for the possibility of slipping up, especially early in the process, and just try to get past it as quickly and smoothly as you can. So long as you persist, you'll be ice cream free in no time!Ad
We could really use your help!

Scientists at the University of Rochester released a revealing study involving children with autism.
The sensory study unveiled that children with autism can identify moving objects twice as fast as others. The research used video clips. Twenty kids with autism and 26 others between the ages of eight and 17-years-old took part.
Experts say these results prove why some autistic children are painfully sensitive to noise and bright lights. Some researchers believe the study will help them to determine a cause
to the developmental disorder.
