I Love Migas!
I was in Austin over the weekend, and I had the best (and most delicious!) time.
One of the things on my agenda for the weekend was eating Migas, which I first tried in Austin many moons ago when I was visiting my seestor Betsy, and which remains one of my all-time favorite breakfast dishes. My friend Sheila loves Migas too, so on Saturday, when we joined a group of our friends for lunch, that's exactly what we both ordered.
This was the plate of Migas both Sheila and I were served.
Here's the scoop on Migas (pronouned MEE-guz). It's a different dish in Tex Mex cuisine than in more authentic forms, but the Tex Mex version is the one I'm talking about. It's a scrambled egg dish loaded with onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cheese, and—the defining ingredient—corn tortillas. These give the eggs an incredible corn flavor and texture. Delicious!
After I went to Austin years ago and first tried Migas, I started making them myself at home. I put the recipe in my first cookbook and posted it here back in ancient times. Here's a link to the step-by-step post. Pardon the not-great photos!

Oh thanks, Ree. I was just going to search to see what migas were. They look and sound delicious, great for a brunch and a bunch of guests. I wish I hadn't already eaten breakfast today!
Caroline On Monday, June 10 at 9:06 am
Looks delicioso! Will definitely make this. . .
DeeBee On Monday, June 10 at 9:14 am
Perfect idea for Sunday brunch. Thanks!
Bonnie M On Monday, June 10 at 9:14 am
Hi Ree! This dish looks very pretty! Anything with that many veggies and pretty colors must mean it's healthy! I'd skip the egg part, not a fan, but everything else would remain the same!
Hope you had a really nice visit with your Seeestor, your Mama and your Nephew, as well as your travel companions!! Where's the "Interview with a Pioneer Woman"?
God's Great Blessings to You, Yours and All Creatures, Great and Small.
sooz On Monday, June 10 at 8:14 pm
I second the request for the "Interview with a Pioneer Woman".
Edith On Monday, June 10 at 9:18 am
Kerbey Lane in Austin has the best migas.
Cameaux On Monday, June 10 at 9:23 am
Edith, I just posted the same thing! They are my absolute fave!!! I always get the migas taco and then drizzle a little cowboy queso over the top. SO good!
Debi B On Monday, June 10 at 9:29 am
I'll be in Austin on Monday so maybe I'll stop in at the restaurant you're talking about and give the Migas a try:)
Kathi M. On Monday, June 10 at 10:32 am
Kerbey Lane is good, but Trudy's has my fave!
Ann D On Monday, June 10 at 10:53 am
Trudy's is better! Kerbey Lane's quality and service and seriously declined in the past few years!
Teresa - Native Austinite On Monday, June 10 at 10:57 am
Austin's hidden treasure – Dart Bowl Cafe. Best migas ever.
Sherill On Monday, June 10 at 11:08 am
I have to agree with Ann D – KL's quality has hit rock bottom – Trudy's is mucho bueno!
Emily On Monday, June 10 at 1:06 pm
I love Polvo's for migas in Austin! My brother lives there, and that's his choice…used to be Kerbey Lane before they started going downhill. Mmm…so good, I dream about them. Their tortillas are TO DIE FOR, good coffee. Dang, I need to go to Austin again.
Kristen On Monday, June 10 at 5:46 pm
Kerbey Lane migas changed my life in college. Because he knew how much I loved them, my dad found a migas recipe a few years back for us to cook for our family on Christmas Eve!
Lynna On Sunday, June 16 at 10:25 am
Yes! I love Kerbey Lane migas. I want them now. Or maybe late tonight…
Felicia On Monday, June 10 at 9:21 am
After you add the corn tortillas, do you just cook for a minute or so before adding the eggs?
Cameaux On Monday, June 10 at 9:22 am
ohhhh …. did y'all go to Kerbey Lane??? Their Migas are my FAVE-O-RITE!!!! (and the black beans are fab, too!!!! Migas make me swoon, for sure!
Val On Monday, June 10 at 9:23 am
I was in Austin this weekend and had migas as well! Mine were served at Julio's Mexican Grill in Hyde Park. I learned about migas when I was in Austin at college and they have always been a favorite. We were there to move our son into his first apartment. Get ready — it happens awfully fast.
Debi B On Monday, June 10 at 9:24 am
They look delicious. I'm definitely going to be making those in the very near future:)
Sandra Allen On Monday, June 10 at 9:25 am
Diana On Monday, June 10 at 9:26 am
Miga's are so easy to make .. anything can go in them. Try them topped with chili con queso !!! I make them with tortilla chips. I never throw away the broken chips in the bottom of bag
Marcia On Monday, June 10 at 9:30 am
Next time you're driving to Austin, please stop in Waco and try the "Gut Pack" from Vitek's BBQ. I bet you'll love it!
Karen Lammey On Monday, June 10 at 9:31 am
Another great thing about Migas is that you can use any leftover meat such as pork chops, sausage, bacon, etc. And, they're great camp food. Corn tortillas are best but when I have just a couple of flour tortillas, I use them. Just tear them and cook them with the meat and they'll soak up the flavor. It's all good!
Carol On Monday, June 10 at 9:32 am
As an Austinite I suggest you visit Texas Chili Parlor on Lavaca for really wonderful Migas! One of my favorite spots for weekend Migas and Bloody Mary special. The rest of the menu is just as yummy. One of the 'must go to' places in Austin.
Cheryl On Monday, June 10 at 9:33 am
I was in San Antonio first weekend in June and tried the traditional Migas version it was delicious…. We had dinner at La Gloria, traditional Mexican street food it became one of my favorite restaurant. Located on the Old Pearl brewery grounds, known for pabst blue ribbon beer. SAT AIRPORT will have a La Gloria restaurant in a couple months. good eats
Grammanita On Monday, June 10 at 9:33 am
I've been sitting here, trying to figure out how to quarter this recipe! I'm the only one who would eat these around here and, while I have a healthy appetite, 12 eggs plus veggies and tortillas are a bit much! How well does this do leftovers? This is SO up my alley and licking the screen just isn't doing it for me!!!
Jacque in New River On Monday, June 10 at 11:37 am
I took a good look at the recipe and I bet you can 1/2 everything really easily, that brings the servings down to 3. Just go ahead and dice all the veggies and save for dinner or put them in the freezer. I would think this could be reheated in the microwave the next day or you could try freezing it and see what happens. Looks delicious to me.
Delma On Monday, June 10 at 1:32 pm
Migas (mee-gahs) in our house are pretty simple and we like the tortillas crunchy. Basically use 1 or 2 corn tortillas to 1 or 2 eggs, depending on how you like it. Cut or tear the torillas into about 1 inch squares, fry them up real good, drain excess oil add then add your eggs, salt, pepper and scramble.
¡Buen provecho!
Sally On Tuesday, June 11 at 6:04 am
You can easily get the servings down to 1 or 2. I cut recipes down to serve 1 or 2 all the time. I did migas last week. I used 2 eggs and 1 or 2 tablespoons of each of the vegetables and 2 tortillas. You can use more or less of the vegetables and tortillas depending on your preferences (and how hungry you are).
I save the rest of the vegetables in baggies in the fridge to use in something else in the near future.
Grammanita On Tuesday, June 11 at 7:17 pm
Thank you, ladies…I will work on this….can't believe I'm surrounded by such boring eaters!!! Oh well…their loss! Blessings
Dawn On Thursday, June 13 at 12:04 am
1/2 the recipe and make burritos and freeze them. YUMM!
Kay Greeley On Monday, June 10 at 9:37 am
I have been making this for ages…….I didn't know it had a name!
Susan On Monday, June 10 at 9:37 am
Magnolia Cafe's "Love Migas" is the best
Do On Monday, June 10 at 2:46 pm
I second that!! Serrano's has good migas, too. I, too, think KL Cafe has declined in the past few years. Magnolia Cafe is just the best!!
Corky H On Monday, June 10 at 5:35 pm
I second that. Magnolia Cafe's are the best!
Matt C On Monday, June 10 at 9:40 am
I have to agree with the commenters above that Kerbey Lane's Migas are AWESOME! We went down to Austin (for a Longhorn football game *Hook'em*) a couple years ago and were introduced to the wonderfulness that is Migas from the Kerbey Lane on Guadalupe. Fantastic Stuff!
Anne P. On Monday, June 10 at 9:41 am
Wow! You guys are just making me drool up here in Oregon…can't quite make it down to Texas today, but at least I can whip up a plate of those gorgeous migas in my own kitchen,thanks to Ree's recipe/instructions. Yummy!!!!
susan h On Monday, June 10 at 9:42 am
My son is working on his PHD there and I love to eat there!!!!!! There is a restaurant there it doesn't look like much on the outside but it is so quaint inside and a nice patio called Vivo! I had the best shrimp and cheese stuffed grilled pablano pepper with a verde sauce to die for!!
headed there in 21 days, not that I'm counting!!! :0) :0)
Becky (central oregon) On Monday, June 10 at 9:43 am
When I fix these about the only thing I do different is cut the tortillias up into small strips before I fry them….. makes then crisper faster and gotta love them mixed into the eggs
Michelle On Monday, June 10 at 9:45 am
Ooo this sounds awesome, I am going to make for super tonight!
Thx Ree!
Jill C. On Monday, June 10 at 9:47 am
Struggling with this today, and this quote popped up in my "quote a day"!
"Over and over again, we lose site of what is important and
what isn't. We crave things over which we have no control, and
not satisfied by the things within our control. We need to
regularly stop and take stock; to sit down and determine
within ourselves which things are worth valuing and which
things are not."
— Epictetus
Tracy Ciecalone On Monday, June 10 at 9:49 am
Yum! I am SO gonna make this. Thanks, cause I have never heard of them.

Dana Munoz On Monday, June 10 at 9:51 am
I love Midas too! My husband is Hispanic, so when I started dating him a new world of dishes came into my life!! I loved them all, even the avocado on a piece of white bread, that I thought was ridiculous! Until I tried it, with mayo and all the trimmings, of course!

Melanie On Monday, June 10 at 9:53 am
Migas look good. I think my vegetarian daughter will like these.
KarenG On Monday, June 10 at 9:57 am
This looks wonderful!!
dc On Monday, June 10 at 9:57 am
It's been a long time since I was in Austin or had migas for that matter. Looks like it's going to be breakfast on Sunday morning!
Barb On Monday, June 10 at 9:59 am
I've been making your Migas since I first saw the recipe in your cookbook. It's a favorite in our house. Yum. Wish I had some right now!
L. Larsen On Monday, June 10 at 10:01 am
ohh I better etry this- the only kind of MIgas I've ever known are Migas made by people from Colombia and I've never seen Mexican Migas in restaurants here in the east coast but i'll totally ask around, they sound yummy
Cheryl Barker On Monday, June 10 at 10:01 am
I've never heard of these, Ree. Thanks for the education today!
Jenny in Santa Fe On Monday, June 10 at 10:02 am
I use fresh tortilla chips (or whatever is on hand) instead of tortillas and because I'm lazy I use salsa or pico de gallo.
Patti On Monday, June 10 at 10:03 am
Howdy from Navasota, TX. I make your Migas all the time–my Cowboy husband loves them.

Happy Monday
Lisa On Monday, June 10 at 10:10 am
Here in Detroit, this same dish is called chilaquiles. If you don't have the time to fry your own tortillas, you can substitute tortilla chips. It's a wonderful breakfast-for-dinner dish.
Carol Ann On Monday, June 10 at 10:11 am
Hubby and I eat this for supper…………he's a small farmer now……..semi retired. But still have our hearts into the soil.
We like a dab of sour cream and a little taco sauce. Yummy
Tamie On Monday, June 10 at 10:12 am
Looks and sounds yummy!! Now I am hungry
Nancy On Monday, June 10 at 10:13 am
I've made these for years – except I like my tortillas a little crunchier so I don't add them til the very end, and leave some out to sprinkle on top.
I make this as a catch-all dish for whatever leftovers sound good – and have made it with chicken, ham, beef, potatoes, etc. Just fold in whatever ingredients you have around!
Lynn Houston On Monday, June 10 at 10:14 am
Sounds delish! Love Tex Mex in any form!
Helen G. On Monday, June 10 at 10:16 am
Hello from Milwaukee!!

LOVE Migas. Lots of hot sauce, too. YUM
Crystal N. On Monday, June 10 at 10:23 am
I love Migas too! I was in Austin this weekend and got some Migas at South Congress Cafe! That first pictures looks awfully familiar.
Marty Ann On Monday, June 10 at 10:24 am
GOOD Monday MORNING !!! I'm so going to try this coming week-end. Our daughter and her family are coming for a visit. YUMMY
Teresa W. On Monday, June 10 at 10:27 am
We lived in Austin for many years and we miss it so! The food, the music, the people. Ah, Texas has a special place in my heart.
Tess in TN On Monday, June 10 at 10:28 am
Ree, this looks amazing…adding it to my must try list!
Amanda B On Monday, June 10 at 10:29 am
It sounds like very similar to the Chilaquiles that I grew up eating…all that is missing is just the chorizo.
Beth On Monday, June 10 at 12:23 pm
That's what we call the dish here in Southern CA! And our migas is the italian/portugese style with little bits of bread fried in oil. Funny how they're called different things depending on the region!
Donna On Monday, June 10 at 10:33 am
You must be sending a different way, can't read today's message.
Winnie On Monday, June 10 at 10:34 am
Never had this before, but boy does it look and sound tasty. I will give it a try!
Kary Crist On Monday, June 10 at 10:46 am
Happy Monday! These sure look good, first time I'd ever heard of them. Will def need to try!
Jeanne Ireland On Monday, June 10 at 10:47 am
The loveliest, most educational and most peaceful place to see is Mt. Vernon. It is as life was back in the day. The large porch has a line of rocking chairs on which to sit and view the water down below. You can purchase seeds from the George and Martha trees to take home and plant – a bit of history in your own yard. The best piece of advice I can give you is do not go to Washington when it is hot!!! Taking a bus tour of the major sites is great because you have a worry-free look. After that, choose your interests and use the public transit system. Have a wonderful time!!
Julie On Monday, June 10 at 10:52 am
I didn't know they had a name but basically I make this on week-ends minus the half-and-half (being Hungarian I substitute sour cream on top)
Sue me, I love breakfast foods and there are unimaginable varieties on the theme.
Kay On Monday, June 10 at 10:58 am
This looks delicious and since it is gluten free I can eat it. Keep the good recipes and pictures coming. I was raised on the ranch/farm so really enjoy your stories and pictures especially the ones with the cattle. You also have 4 very impressive children and both Mom and Dad can be congratulated for raising them to be such beautiful people.
laura On Monday, June 10 at 11:03 am
Happy Monday! I love these and am making them for my college son to take to work this summer!
anniebreland On Monday, June 10 at 11:08 am
Looks and sounds great
laurah On Monday, June 10 at 11:08 am
After potato/leek pizza and french puffs, migas are our favorite recipe in your first cookbook. And what a great way to use those corn tortillas. Around us they are cheap cheap cheap compared to flour tortillas.
Marti Pope On Monday, June 10 at 11:10 am
Howdy! It is a beautiful Monday morning!!!!!
Maricela On Monday, June 10 at 11:11 am
Ooh! Here I was trying to figure out what to have for a late breakfast, and this makes me want to have Migas! Thanks!

Once in a hurry, I used the pico de gallo from Trader Joes (drained a little) to save time chopping onions and tomatoes. It was Yummy!

Hi there, what SIZE corn tortillas? The small taco shell size or the larger enchilada ones?
Donna in Austin On Monday, June 10 at 11:28 am
I wish you answered questions in your comments but I guess you get too many. I would love to know where you ate migas in Austin.
Meredith in Austin On Tuesday, June 11 at 11:18 am
My expert Austin-foodie eye leads me to believe those are from South Congress Cafe. The potato pancake is the giveaway
If you haven't been there then you ought to check it out. Their migas are definitely on my list of favorites.
Meredith in Austin On Tuesday, June 11 at 11:28 am
My expert Austin-foodie eye leads me to believe these are from South Congress Cafe. If I'm right, these are my favorite in town!

Thanks, Ree
Debby Bradshaw On Monday, June 10 at 11:38 am
Hi Ree And Happy Monday!!!!!
Annie On Monday, June 10 at 11:49 am
Yum! I would add some avocado too. There's a restaurant in my town that does a delicious breakfast scramble. They serve it with half an avocado and that ratchets up the awesomeness level a couple of notches. Shakshuka is another delicious way to eat eggs with peppers. I'd love to see PW's take on that!
Kyle Anne Uniss On Monday, June 10 at 11:51 am
This looks wonderful, and Gluten Free!!! We are new to GF (Celiac) and we love to cook, so finding good breakfasts that we can cook is awesome!!!
sherry c On Monday, June 10 at 11:54 am
Migas & chilequiles are old favorites for this raised-in-TX family but your version has a couple of kinks I will try adding. Thanks for the tips!
Mary On Monday, June 10 at 11:57 am
I had Migas many yrs ago in San Antonio on a business trip with my husband. It was in the hotel restaurant and I had them several times. I've made them at home but have never been as good. Will cut the recipe in half and try it!
Pam On Monday, June 10 at 11:58 am
Thank you! It sounds like a wonderful Father's day breakfast.
Pavi On Monday, June 10 at 12:00 pm

Funny, Mr. Lucky heading to Austin tomorrow on business – thinking I should have tagged along!
Shireen On Monday, June 10 at 12:08 pm
Happy Monday! Can't wait to try Mijas, It looks delicious!
Susan J On Monday, June 10 at 12:11 pm
Next time you're in the Austin area……..drive out to Pflugerville! El Rincon on Pecan St has the very best migas around! Whenever my son comes home to visit, we have to have breakfast there at least once!
Bonnie Alcala On Monday, June 10 at 12:12 pm
Good morning Ree! Thanks for the opportunity!
Jankathryn On Monday, June 10 at 12:15 pm
That is so good! I have done this without the tortilla and now you have added a new dimension! Thank hou
Jeanne On Monday, June 10 at 12:17 pm
Have a fabulous Monday! Love trying your recipes.
Cristina On Monday, June 10 at 12:20 pm
I want this so bad right now. I'm tempted to make a really sad version with what's already in my kitchen right now – stale tortilla chips, some leftover provolone, a scallion bundle, and some sriracha. I should probably go to the store.
Susan Dillard On Monday, June 10 at 12:26 pm
Hi Ree,
When I was at The University of Texas, we would go to a place called Cisco's. At that time they served Mexican pastries, Migas and beer. The perfect hangover meal for a college kid.
Thanks for introducing it to a wider audience!
Zcola On Monday, June 10 at 12:27 pm
Hi Ree. I formerly lived in Pawhuska but now in California Bay area. I learned something new…migas!
Hannah On Monday, June 10 at 12:29 pm
Hello PW & Happy Monday!
The Mijas are awesome, I know from experience. ; )
Love your blog!
Bea Long On Monday, June 10 at 12:30 pm
What is the little pancake looking thing on the right side? Does anyone know?? I do love this recipe. I never added the tortillas before, that is the only difference from mine. I love it in the cookbook too!!
Gail On Monday, June 10 at 12:33 pm
Don't even like eggs and this looks delicious
KimH On Monday, June 10 at 12:34 pm
Where I grew up about 3 miles from the Mexican border in the very southern tip of Texas, we called them Juevos Rancheros.. I did a quick look up to see what "the world" said Juevos Rancheros but that sure isnt the way the Rio Grande Valley & Tamaulipas Mexico folk do em… What you call migas, is what we call Juevos Rancheros. Either way.. I agree with you 100%… they're delicious!!
Bpiteach On Monday, June 10 at 12:37 pm
Looks YUMMY!!!!!
Christina M On Monday, June 10 at 12:38 pm
Migas! Yum! I especially loved when my dad cooked them for us!
Debbi B On Monday, June 10 at 12:41 pm
Looks and sounds delicious… Gotta try these. I am still in love with your iced coffee now I am hooked and can't live with out it. LOL

In a somewhat surprising move, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded its peace prize for 2012 to the European Union, according to The New York Times.
Despite a crisis stemming from fiscal instability among several of the 27-member nations, the committee said it was nevertheless recognizing the E.U.'s role in building peace and reconciliation.
"The stabilizing part played by the E.U. has helped to transform most of Europe from a continent of war to a continent of peace," said Thorbjorn Jagland, the chairman of the panel that awarded the prize, citing the union's role in Germany and France, post-World War II.
Norway is not a member of the European Union.

Obuch Middle School has been awarded a $500 grant from TRC Disaster Solutions of Tulsa through the company's Partners In Education grant program. The funds are being used to help pay for the integration of technology into the classrooms curriculum. The purchase of an iPad 2 to download audio books will benefit students with moderate to severe disabilities.
"We are grateful to Obuch Middle School officials for taking this initiative," says TRC president Felix Ontiveros. "Recognizing that we live in the information age, it is increasingly important that all students have access to all learning resources as they prepare for high school, college and life in the real world."
Ontiveros says the company's Partners In Education grants are designed to meet the financial needs of public and private Oklahoma schools during these tough economic times.

(Published in the Washington Post On Faith blog, October 11, 2012. Find it here: http://tinyw.in/4mI5. Naturally, they edited out some of the best parts. This is the article as written.)
The Slow Poison of Religion in Politics
Christopher Hitchens famously said that 'religion poisons everything.' While a thorough search might turn up technical exceptions to this rule, one of the things religion certainly does poison is politics. Poison politics leads to toxic government.
Religion has been leaning on government and meddled in elections since they were thanked for their input and given nice parting gifts by the Framers. The problem for christianist ideologues is this: despite some pretty extraordinary and self serving claims about mandates and dictates received directly from a micromanaging bronze age deity, the Constitution simply provides no role for religion in the government of the United States. Official endorsement of any religion is prohibited. Religious tests for elected office are prohibited. Prohibited. The result of our Constitutional non-establishment of religion has been a system of government that is nominally neutral on religion and which, by design, provides equal rights, protection, and access to all citizens regardless of their opinions on religion. What could possibly be fairer than that? Toxicity level, low.
The worst elements of religion, however, don't consider this matter settled. Christian nationalism and rabid fundamentalism, based on biblical literalism, are rampant in our politics. It would be a Rovewellian redistribution of the facts to argue that christianist adamancy resides equally on the left and on the right. The imbalance has grown so great that the right genuinely believes that the god and creator of the entire universe is a republican, that they are entitled to govern, that whatever it takes to install them permanently in power qualifies as "democracy," and that compromise is the work of Satan and entirely out of the question. Claiming a mandate from a supreme deity is the ultimate untrumpable hand. Toxicity level, high.
The result of this intractable ideology is legislative paralysis at a time when we could really use some rational solutions. Instead, democracy is being commandeered and driven into a ditch by those who would inflict faith-based social legislation taken from Leviticus and whose science comes from Genesis.
Doubling down on mean and stupid does is neither a recipe for success nor the character of greatness. Science denial will never result in greater understanding of the workings of the universe. Science denial and its siblings math denial, fact denial, and utter disregard for logic, feed a disturbing resurgence of anti-intellectualism. History instructs us well on this matter.
The religion-based denial of equality and rights for women is a remnant of a life-crushing morality devised by men who thought the earth was flat. Such cultural misogyny is a declaration of war against the very notions of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Religion proposes equally dire outcomes for gays, people who get tattoos, men who get haircuts, anyone who work on Sunday, or who eats shellfish. But the cafeteria christians are focused like a laser on the gays and find prescriptions for hate in their ancient texts.
Underpinning all of these attempts to legitimize discriminatiom is the denial of separtion of church and state. Separation deniers try to make the case that since the words 'separation of church and state' are not in the Constitution, separation does not exist. And yet, the prohibition is explicit in the First Amendment. The absence of a role for religion in government is woven into the very fabric of the Constitution. The Constitution does not in any way support the notion of a government in collusion with religion. The Constitution is a firewall against theocracy.
By the way, other words not in the Constitution: Democracy, patriotism, capitalism, free enterprise, corporation, job creator, God, Jesus, or christian.
Words that are in the Constitution: General welfare. Twice.
It may or may not be unfair to blame every failure of government on religion when some are likely the outcome of plain vanilla stupidity. But the right, currently and openly awash in rapturous christianism, is providing a home and a pulpit to the most toxic, coercive, and repressive elements of religion. Toxicity level, off the charts.
Government should be a solution engine, populated by the informed people, focused on outcomes beneficial to all. You know, that 'general welfare' thang. The government of the US must never become a tool for the imposition of religion on the unwilling and the unconvinced. Done by others, we call it sharia. And Hitchens had exactly that in mind when he called it poison.

'Reimagining' of 'Carrie' unnecessary
Guest review by Lauri Gray Eaton Call me jaded, but I don't think of "Carrie" as a horror flick. To be sure, when Brian DePalma's original screenplay of Stephen King's best-seller came out in 1976, my older schoolmates came away from the film slack-jawed at what they'd seen at the theater. The progeny of protective […] [Read More]
'Stephen King's Pet Sematary': The book is better
Many producers of horror movies in 1989 must have taken their cue from screen legend Ed Wood and come up with titles before making their films. Among the offerings that year were, "Chopper Chicks in Zombietown," "Clownhouse," "Flesh Eating Monsters," "Lobster Man from Mars," "Las Vegas Bloodbath," "Monster High," "Stuff Stephanie in the Incinerator" and […] [Read More]

Statement from Dr. N. Joyce Payne, Founder of Thurgood Marshall College Fund on President Obama's FY 2011 Budget ReleaseFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Media Contact:
Will Davison, 212-573-8545
February 2, 2010
[NEW YORK] Dr. Joyce Payne, Founder & CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), reacted to the release today of the President's Fiscal Year 2011 budget. "TMCF wishes to applaud the President for several provisions in his budget. The President's Budget emphasizes some promising possibilities for the future of education in America especially as it impacts minority students in elementary and secondary schools, those bound for college and students in college today," said Dr. Payne. In particular, TMCF supports his proposals to:
- Pell Grants: Make permanent the Recovery Act's increase in the Pell Grant maximum award, and put these grants on a path to grow faster than inflation every year.
- Repayment Plans: Strengthen income-based repayment plans for student loans by reducing monthly payments and shortening the repayment period so that overburdened borrowers will pay only 10 percent of their discretionary income in repayments and have their remaining debt forgiven after 20 years.
- STEM: $300 million in new grants to states to develop and implement curricula intended to improve teaching and learning in science and math aligned to new high standards is a crucial investment.
- Innovation Fund: $150 million in the Investing in Innovation Fund, which are competitive grants for school districts, nonprofits, and other organizations to develop, validate, and scale promising teaching strategies to improve student learning in STEM. Thurgood Marshall College Fund stands ready to provide national leadership to increasing the number of underrepresented minority STEM professionals through our Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) membership base. This priority is critical to the economic advancement of the country as school districts where many minorities live are located near HBCU campuses. It is our opinion that growth opportunities in STEM education, outreach and recruitment are vital to advancing the economic revitalization of local communities and states. HBCUs are critical to strengthening teachers and capabilities and increasing diversity in underrepresented STEM disciplines.
- ESEA: $28 billion – a $3 billion increase – for programs authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), plus up to $1 billion in additional funding if Congress successfully completes a fundamental overhaul of the law. Together, these measures would represent the largest funding increase for ESEA programs ever requested and we urge Congress to act.
- School Turnaround Grants: $900 million for School Turnaround. This is a step forward toward addressing funding gaps that often are the cause of under-performance especially in economically disadvantaged districts.
"Of course, there are areas to improve education beyond this proposal, and we hope to have an impact on the President's national progress in higher education overall as Congress reviews his priorities, especially to build capacity in crucial areas of focus on our public HBCU campuses," said Dr. Payne.
TMCF encourages further progress for minority students nationally. Given the opportunity to address the FY11 budget cycle, the President's support of higher education is desperately needed to ensure that students attending public HBCUs have greater access to a high quality education." Dr. Payne noted, "Securing jobs is the bottom-line for our graduates. With the potential impact of government policy in higher education; our students need jobs, but jobs that will complement and broaden their skill-sets acquired in their higher education formal training.;

I've seen so many great ideas for home made wall art and word blocks etc on pintrest that a few months ago I decided I'd give it a go. I looked for some cubes initially but ended up getting some interesting square bits of wood that my sister was going to throw away.
First, I sanded down the wood to get rid of any excessive ragged edges.
I then painted them all in purple (using some left over paint we used on the feature wall in the living room)
Once it was dry I painted over the purple with two coats of 'Crown - Eggshell, old English white'.
I then used sand paper to distress the edges of the blocks so that the purple began to show through.
The writing part I can't take credit for as it was an idea I got from this superb blog. I love her stuff and want to try a few more bigger projects sometime.
All you do is print off the words you want onto regular paper then place some carbon paper between the word and the wood. I also taped it all down to prevent the word sliding. Then use a pen to trace over the words.
It's then as simple as painting between the lines. At this stage I probably could have benefited from spraying it with sealant (that's on my 'need to buy list)
So there you have it ... my little word blocks. What do you think?

I think it depends on the situation. My DD2 has a couple of boys that she has grown up with that I would not hesitate to invite over for a sleepover. She is 10 going on 11. They have a sort of cousin relationship.
Mom "D" to DD1 "Z" (15) and DD2 "I" (12) DH "M"
My dd is 11 and our family friend, a boy, still sleeps over. I think I would look at the situation not the age but my dd isn't interested in boys in a sexual way at all, she still finds this topic disgusting.
My DC will be 13 in September (is heterosexual as far as I know) and I sent her off for a sleep over with a boy last night. It was funny that it didn't occur to me to think twice until she was out the door. My concern was just putting her in a position where she or her friend felt sort of pressured for something because of the circumstance. I'll be having a talk with her when she gets home to see when she would like me to pull the cord.
Troll? Here's me...
I also have a 12yo and I would not be comfortable with a co-ed sleepover under most circumstances. (If parents needed me to keep kid overnight for whatever reason, boy would sleep in the family room and daughter in her own room.) I trust my daughter and I trust her choice of friends, but it's just not something I'd allow -- in part because I don't want to have to explain why it's okay at 12 and not okay at 17, or decide when to draw the line.
Carseat-checking (CPST) and WAH mama to a thirteen-year-old girl.
Mama to 5 amazing kids CJ AG
JJ SD and my UC baby HD And married to my highschool sweetheart
My DC was really close with boys and girls as a young child. I think she really needed to have a big variety of friends with a big variety of interests. It wouldn't have felt right for me to exclude the option of sleep-overs for boys when she was younger. She was here playing with her friend and they were just so sweet and young seeming that his mom and I forgot that they were becoming teens and are starting to show interest in early romance.
As a teen myself I know that I felt a certain level of comfort from the boundaries my parents set for me so I plan to have some for my DC as well. I'd rather that they come from her, I guess, unless I see a need for parent-imposed boundaries.
I'm curious to talk with her but she's still playing with her friend.
Troll? Here's me...
There have been a couple group co-ed sleep-overs with my eldest in the teen years with the theatre friends she has grown up with and families we knew very well. We let her boyfriend go camping with us (he in his own tent) and spend the night on New Years Eve (sleeping bags on the living room floor next to 13-year-old brother and his buddy.) We'll be putting him up in the guest room on prom night. My youngest used to have a female friend that would stay with us (her family had no extended family and so we helped them out in overnight situations at times.) That ended after about age 10 when middle school started and boy/girl friendships seemed to pull apart.
We try not to have a lot of blanket rules and instead look at each situation as it comes. For us, there have been sound reasons for having an opposite gender friend spend the night. Would I be keen on my 13-year-old son coming home one day and saying "I made a new female friend and she wants to spend the night?" No, that wouldn't fly. A kid we've known for a long time in a situation where a family needs some help or if it's just safer for the kid to stay over... sure.
Married mom of two, DD 17 and DS 14.
I agree. As I said above, I would DD2's friends she's known since birth sleep over (age 8-10) because we know them and the families very well, but tonight did not allow DD1 (14) to hang out at a house where there would be boys and girls & no parents home, even for a few hours.
Mom "D" to DD1 "Z" (15) and DD2 "I" (12) DH "M"

As soon as I saw this powder in store I wanted it. I really like the embossing on the powder, even if it makes me reluctant to stick my brush in and ruin it! As I am very pale I really didn't think I'd be able to use this, as it really is quite golden, but provided I use very little I can just about get away with it. I find the look is very dewy/wet, which I really like in a cheek highlight, so I would recommend this to anyone if they can still get their hands on it. The quality of the powder is good, it feels soft and is easy to blend.

Francis Slay v. Lewis Reed: Slavery Image on "Bootlicker" Film Flyer Sparks Controversy
Richard Callow, campaign manager for Slay, says that he and his staff were taken aback when they saw the offensive flyer.
"It is an appalling contradiction to the Reed campaign's theme of 'One St. Louis' when they and their supporters demean, in the worst possible way, African Americans who support Mayor Slay," Callow tells Daily RFT, noting that this group includes Frankie Muse Freeman, a 96-year-old civil rights activist.
Slay Campaign Francis Slay at a "Sisters for Slay" campaign event.
The Slay campaign has also gone after Reed for accepting donations from the "Grim Reaper of Radio" Bob Romanik, a convicted felon with ties to a major east side racketeering scandal.
But Glenn Burleigh, campaign manager for Reed, tells Daily RFT that, very simply, the campaign has nothing to do with the film or the flyer.
"Slay should take it up with the people responsible for it," he says.
Sam Levin Lewis Reed speaking at a recent debate as Francis Slay watches.
Asked if he condones the message of the flyer, Burleigh adds, "We don't have an official campaign position on this.... Personally, I think the graphic's in poor taste... It's just not ours."
He adds, "The Slay campaign is trying to focus negative attention on anything they can, because Lewis is too good of a candidate."

About Sustainable Concordia
Sustainable Concordia is an organization that builds and measures culture and practices of sustainability at Concordia University in solidarity with the global community. We believe that fundamental changes need to be implemented. We assess and address challenges of the existing economy based on unlimited growth and exploitation of natural resources and the political system that excludes key stakeholders from participating in decision-making.
Through our three priorities; collaborating on a Sustainability Policy for Concordia, advocating for carbon neutrality, and Sustainability Education and Engagement, Sustainable Concordia mobilizes and campaigns in order to make fundamental changes within the university.
Position Summary
The Education and Engagement Coordinator's main goal is to facilitate the recruitment, coordination, and formal recognition of volunteers. Activities involved in realizing this goal include attending events throughout both campuses when there is an outreach opportunity to solicit potential volunteers and/or for increasing awareness by engaging in discussions about our individual and collective roles regarding sustainability on campus. The incumbent also fills volunteer positions as mandated by the annual programming of Sustainable Concordia, and collaborates with the Outreach Committee to ensure the organization has the volunteer capacity in order to effectively host outreach events, tabling, and other engagement opportunities as needed.
The candidate also collaborates with coordinators, fellows, and volunteers in the overall planning and organization of campaigns and educational activities of Sustainable Concordia as they are established. Finally, as Sustainable Concordia undergoes organizational transformation, the incumbent actively participates in the planning and execution of long-term future directions of Sustainable Concordia, in addition to actively participating in internal operations such as short-term goal/priority setting processes, and participatory budgeting processes.

Planet EV's, Inc. ("Planet") is a Missouri corporation and has a business address of Rt. 1 Box 75-4, Macomb, Missouri 65702. Planet is purportedly working on the development of electric vehicle technology under a license arrangement with the holder of patent pending applications for a variable speed drive system.
Daren Luedtke ("Luedtke") is the chief executive officer of Planet and has a mailing address of 2075 Hwy B, Mansfield, Missouri 65704.
Danny Douglas ("Douglas") is the president of Planet and has a mailing address of 2075 Hwy B, Mansfield, Missouri 65704.
Jeannie Darton ("Darton") was the vice-president of Planet and has a last known residential mailing address of 5563 Cottengim Road, Norwood, Missouri 65717. Darton resigned from the company on October 10, 2006.
As used in this document, the term "Respondents" refers to Planet, Luedtke, and Douglas.
Sometime in early July 2006, a Missouri resident ("MR1") learned about an investment opportunity in Planet.
MR1 understood that Planet was selling stock to raise money to build an electric vehicle.
MR1 telephoned the Planet offices to inquire about the investment opportunity.
On or about July 19, 2006, MR1 met Luedtke at the offices of Planet. At this July 19, 2006 meeting, Luedtke, among other things, told MR1 that:
Planet was raising money to build an electric vehicle;
Planet was selling shares of stock in the company for fifty dollars ($50.00) per share;
investors would receive a "certain amount" from the profit of the sale of the electric vehicle as a return on the investment;
the first investors would receive an electric vehicle when the vehicle went into production; and
a patent was pending on the technology of Planet's electric vehicle.
MR1 decided to purchase shares of stock in Planet. Luedtke introduced MR1 to Darton and told MR1 that Darton would assist MR1 in filling out the paperwork. Darton presented MR1 a document titled, "Confidential Disclosure Agreement" (the "Disclosure Agreement").
On or before August 8, 2006, MR1 wrote a check for two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) made payable to Planet for the purchase of five (5) shares of stock, and MR1 executed the Disclosure Agreement and mailed the document to Planet.
Sometime between July 19, 2006 and August 8, 2006, MR1 received a stock certificate from Planet indicating that MR1 had purchased five (5) shares of stock in Planet.
MR1 received two (2) update letters dated August 1, 2006 and September 12, 2006, from Planet. The September 12, 2006 letter stated, among other things, the following:
"We were thrown off our schedule having to wait for the computer, but the individual component testing is going extremely well and we still anticipate selling the technology and having a signed contract before Christmas.
We will continue to update you and will send a letter to each of you one week before we go public with the test results.
We also wanted to let you know that all current shareholders can still purchase additional stock until the car is ready to test. We can't give a specific date, but anticipate completion within 2-4 weeks. Additional stock can be purchased, but there is a 20 share or $1000.00 minimum purchase."
On or about November 27, 2006, Planet sent a letter to MR1 that stated, among other things, the following:
"We regret to inform you that due to inaccurate information provided to us by the Missouri Secretary of States [sic] Office, we have recently discovered that we are limited in the number of possible stockholders without first being registered with the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission as a "Private Corporation". We are therefore refunding your investment on a temporary basis to allow us the time necessary to accomplish legal registration with the Federal SEC….
[Y]ou will also find below, a schedule of interest showing the method of calculation. The Board decided to pay a flat 10% APR on the investment amount. Then, the ease of calculation, this amount was then prorated over seven months presenting the time that we began accepting investments (May 2006) through the end of November for each of our share holders, regardless of when you actually invested.
We apologize for the confusion and inconvenience. The State of Missouri recently repealed all laws concerning stock regulation that were enacted under the Sec. of States Office and formed a Missouri Securities and Exchange Commissioner with a new set of laws and regulations. When we were incorporating and called the Sec. of States Office they informed us that the laws had been repealed, but failed to inform us that they were forming a state Securities and Exchange Commission here in Missouri. Since we have found out, we are taking all the necessary steps to follow the law…
Printed Name: Daren Luedtke, Chairman of the Board
Printed Name: Danny Douglas, President
Printed Name: Jeannie Darton, Vice President
Interest Schedule [this included MR1's initial investment and the total refunded amount]"
On or about November 26, 2006, MR1 received a refund check from Planet in the amount of two hundred sixty four dollars and fifty-eight cents ($264.58).[1]
Sometime in the summer of 2006, MR2 learned of an investment opportunity in Planet and received documents outlining this investment.
Shortly after reviewing this literature, MR2 contacted Luedtke regarding investing in Planet. Luedtke told MR2, among other things, that:
Planet was raising money to build an electric vehicle;
Planet was selling shares of stock in the company for fifty dollars ($50.00) per share;
the return on MR2's investment could "potentially be great;" and
a patent was pending on the technology of Planet's electric vehicle.
MR2 gave Luedtke a check in the amount of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) for forty (40) shares of stock in Planet. MR2 also signed a Disclosure Agreement.
Shortly after making an investment in Planet, MR2 received a stock certificate indicating that MR2 had purchased forty (40) shares of stock in Planet.
MR2 received a letter from Planet dated November 27, 2006 stating, among other things, that Planet was issuing refunds to its investors.
Sometime in late 2006, MR2 received a refund check from Planet that included MR2's original investment amount and payment of interest.
On or about December 1, 2006, the Missouri Securities Division received information that indicated that Respondents allegedly offered and sold nonexempt and unregistered securities in the State of Missouri.
On December 12, 2006, the Division sent a letter, via certified mail, to Planet and Luedtke. The letter asked Respondents to provide the exclusion from definition or registration exemption upon which Respondents had relied in allegedly offering unregistered securities. The letter also requested additional information about the alleged offers.
During a December 7, 2006 telephone conversation, an investigator with the Enforcement Section of the Securities Division questioned Luedtke regarding Planet. Luedtke stated, among other things, that:
he had been working on an electric vehicle technology for approximately two (2) years and that a law firm in St. Louis [Missouri] was working with him to patent the technology;
he incorporated Planet in April 2006. Luedtke stated that a representative of the Corporations Division of the Missouri Secretary of State's Office informed him that it was fine to raise money because all securities laws were being repealed;
Planet raised approximately two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) from ninety-seven (97) investors and of those, five (5) did not reside in the State of Missouri;
he was working on refunding investor funds due to certain limitations of the securities laws and that approximately twenty two thousand dollars ($22,000.00) with ten percent (10%) interest had been released to thirty-six (36) investors;
he realized that he may have violated the securities laws after consulting with an attorney;
the building of the electric vehicle prototype had been completed in his home garage;
the vehicle was ninety percent (90%) complete;
he had spoken with a vice-president of the electric vehicle division of Chrysler in Pontiac, Michigan regarding the marketing of his electric vehicle technology; and
he had connections to "millionaires" that are willing to invest in his company.
On December 12, 2006, an attorney representing Planet provided copies of documents to the Division. Among the documents was a 4-page document titled "Planet EV's Risk Factors." In addition, Planet provided a document containing a list of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of Planet investors. Accompanying these documents was a letter indicating that Planet wanted to resolve the matter with the Division.
On or about June 11, 2007, Respondents provided additional information regarding among other things, the expenditures of investor funds. Information provided by the Respondents indicated that Planet collected a total of three hundred six thousand, four dollars and twenty-two cents ($306,004.22) from investors between May 13, 2006 and September 1, 2006.
An accounting of investor funds identified in documents provided by Planet indicated that Respondents used these investor funds for, among other things, the following:
nine (9) entries totaling approximately fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) dated between June 25, 2006 and July 17, 2006, were paid to Luedtke under the "category-payment on equity position on patent;"
sixteen (16) entries totaling approximately seven thousand dollars ($7,000.00) dated between May 16, 2006 and October 14, 2006, were paid under the category of "cash slush fund;"
fifty-three (53) entries totaling approximately seventy-six thousand, five hundred forty-nine dollars and six cents ($76,549.06) dated between July 30, 2006 and December 6, 2006, were paid to various individuals under the category "security;" and
one hundred twelve (112) entries totaling approximately forty-three thousand, one hundred twelve dollars and eighty-eight cents ($43,112.88) dated between May 12, 2006 and December 6, 2006, were paid to various individuals under the category "payroll."
Information contained in other documents provided in the June 11, 2007 correspondence by Respondents indicated that Respondents refunded a total of twenty-one thousand, nine hundred fifty-seven dollars and ninety-five cents ($21,957.95) to thirty-six (36) investors, of which five (5) were investors outside the State of Missouri.
A review of Planet's account transactions concerning the receivables and expenditures of investor funds revealed that Planet possessed an account balance of twenty thousand, six hundred ninety-two dollars and fifty-one cents ($20,692.51) as of December 1, 2006.
The Division received no information in regards to the refunds of the remaining sixty-one (61) investors.
A check of the records maintained by the Missouri Commissioner of Securities revealed no registration, granted exemption or notice filing indicating status as a "federal covered security" for any of the securities offered by Respondents in or from Missouri.
Respondents were not registered to offer and sell securities in or from the State of Missouri.
The securities offered and sold by the Respondents were not federal covered securities.
In connection with the offer, sale or purchase of this investment, Respondents omitted to state to investors:
that the Respondents were not registered to sell securities in or from the State of Missouri;
that the securities were not registered in the State of Missouri;
facts or information regarding the financial condition of Planet;
facts or information regarding the background, history and experience of Luedtke, Darton and Douglas; or
facts or information regarding the risks of the investment.
In connection with the offer, sale or purchase of this investment, Respondents misrepresented to investors and to the State of Missouri Securities Division that a representative of the Corporations Division with the Missouri Secretary of State had informed Luedtke that it was fine to raise money because all securities laws were being repealed, when in fact, this was not true.
The Commissioner, after consideration of the stipulations set forth above and on the consent of Respondents and the Securities Division, finds and concludes that the Commissioner has jurisdiction over these matters and these Respondents and that the following Order is in the public interest, necessary for the protection of public investors, and consistent with the purposes intended by the Missouri Securities Act of 2003.

Respondent Planet shall pay to the Missouri Secretary of State's Investor Education and Protection Fund the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00).

It was a mere two days ago that we were callously ringing the death knell of Tina Brown. And, lo, today we hear that she is not, in fact, dead: She's just working on another book that everybody has already written! To follow up her hugely successful Diana Chronicles, Brown will be writing a definitive tome on, get this, THE CLINTONS. We'd make a joke about how this topic is so overdone, but for all of the copies of Chronicles Brown sold, she was clearly the one laughing all the way to the bank. "Tina Brown will take on the Bill and Hillary Clinton era in The Clinton Chronicles to be edited by Phyllis Grann and published in 2010," reports Publishers Weekly. This raises two questions: First, is every book of hers from now on going to be called a Chronicles? And, second, the Clinton era will be over by 2010. Does Tina know something we don't?

The Rams boss was pleased with many aspects of his side's play, particularly the performance of goalscorer Michael Jacobs.
He said: "We're delighted with it (the display) again, we can't ask for any more effort from the players.
"It's not just effort as well, they are playing some great stuff at times.
"It was a great goal from Michael, he took it very well. He's coming along nicely and improving and he's getting used to Championship football having made the step up from League Two with Northampton.
"He looked a threat when he was on the pitch and it's good to see him grow, along with the other young players like Jeff Hendrick and Will Hughes. Hopefully they will continue to grow together.
"Hull will be right up there come the end of the season and that's why we are so pleased with how we played against them, there was nothing between the two teams tonight."

On July 1 Harold Land was surrounded by family and friends as he munched on birthday cake and slurped on some cola.
He had three balloons tied to his wheelchair and was enjoying waving and making silly faces at those taking his picture.
July 1 was Lands 103rd birthday. He is one of three residents at Oakbrook Health and Rehabilitation Center in Summerville who is over the age of 100.
He said he does not know how he has managed to have such a long and healthy life.
Ive never been too much sick in my life, he said. Ive been a little sick but not too much.
Land was joined by his daughter Louise Sage, who said her father was born in Georgia but grew up on a farm in Tennessee, raising things like cotton, corn and melons. Land was married 64 years until his wife passed, and from that marriage he had three children. He has nine grandchildren, about 25 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.
Hes always worked hard, Sage said. Hes the only one in his family to ever live to this age.
Sage said he did not drink or smoke. He stayed healthy by eating fruits and vegetables. He has never fought cancer and at Oakbrook Health and Rehab his only medicine is vitamins and Tylenol.
Hes in pretty good shape, Sage said, and he does not look 103.
Land has been a resident at Oakbrook Health since November. He was joined at his 4th of July-themed birthday party by his daughters family something Sage felt was a very important thing to have on her dads 103rd birthday.
I feel good, Land said. Its good to have them (my family) all here.
Sage likes to compare her father to the Energizer Bunny: He just keeps on going and going.

Thanks, and good night
Posted May 17, 2007
This is it, the final "issue" of the Vermont Guardian you're holding on your computer screen.
It was nearly three years ago that my fellow co-founder Greg Guma and I opened our bank account and launched the company. That was July 1, 2004. On Sept. 24, 2004, our first crew witnessed the first issue hit the streets, with a lead story on Jack McMullen's attempts to confront the political ghost of Fred Tuttle in his bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, along with a feature on how the town of Marlboro was fighting the No Child Left Behind Act.
Though the faces changed over time, as is the case with any startup, many stuck it out much longer than I would have ever expected. It takes a certain breed of person to handle the ups and downs of a fledgling independent media operation — long hours, low pay, inconsistent pay when times are tight, etc.
It's never a pretty sight, but with lots of help, support, duct tape, and other patchwork methods, the Guardian limped along as we tried to find our way financially while we pumped out some of the best journalism in the state, week in and week out. We won awards in Vermont and the region for our work, and our stories were being picked up around the country by major blogs and websites, helping us build awareness of the important efforts at work in Vermont.
We broke some important stories, and covered many others. We gave voice to people of various political stripes who are often ignored by the larger media — political candidates who don't fit the mold of a party, or average citizens trying to make a difference.
There are too many people to thank, but I'm going to give it a try. First, our investors. You know who you are, and it would have never happened without you; Greg, my business partner and co-conspirator; our illustrious staff over the years, including Kate Casa, Dian Mueller, Christian Avard, Paul Fleckenstein, Sara Altieri, Amanda Cashin, Chris Stecher, Lauren Brownell, and many others who came and went for their own reasons. Our freelancers, including, but not limited to, Rob Williams, Alan Lewis, Carrie Chandler, Mary Fratini, Haris Begovic, Jessica K. Kell, Eesha Williams, Joe Milliken, Kevin Forrest, Joel Senesac, Doug Beekman, Sheryl Glubok, Christopher Parker, Beth Kanell, among them.
I also have to thank Bob Mathewson at the Valley News, who made sure our paper got out on time and looked great right up until the end. The great folks at Small Dog Electronics, on whose Macs we've produced the Guardian since day one, and SoVerNet who helped us connect to the world.
We also have our advertisers, in particular Trust Company of Vermont, NRG Systems, Everyone's Books, Northshire Bookstore, Eyes of the World, the Flynn Center, Cheslea Green Publishing, and many, many more.
The groups we partnered up with on some pretty amazing events: the Special Olympics of Vermont and the Penguin Plunge, SolarFest, the Mozart Festival, and Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility.
Then, there were our thousands of subscribers and readers.
As I mentioned earlier this week, this is a very bittersweet time. We've accomplished a lot, but the time is right for me to move on and tackle new challenges.
We have rightly earned many accolades from readers, pundits, and our colleagues over the years, and everyone who worked with us as a staffer, a freelancer, intern, or volunteer should know they were part of something important and that has had an impact on events and issues that will far outlast its short life. We were the first newspaper to put breaking news on its website, to offer online subscriptions to readers, and to take our entire news operation online.
The Guardian's website will remain active indefinitely for subscribers to continue accessing the paper's rich archives, and more news stories will be posted throughout this week and next to ensure the paper meets its obligations to its many subscribers and advertisers.
I hold out some hope that we can find someone to manage and run the website as a news organization, or citizen journalism site. As we proved, the state needs such an outlet, and people want it.
The response from everyone to date has been humbling and heartwarming, and I leave this knowing that despite some of the shortfalls, we all have a lot to be proud of with the Guardian.

Sponsored silence for Clarence the lion is a roaring success
Posted: November 29, 2012|
FORGET Silence of the Lambs – nine-year-old Shannon Watts decided on silence for the lions to raise money for an animal charity.
The schoolgirl adopted Clarence the lion at Wingham Wildlife Park in August and wanted to help pay for his care. So she organised a sponsored silence and raised £150.
The money was added to more than £2,000 raised at a Hallowe'en-themed fright night where visitors encountered staff dressed as ghosts and ghouls at a nighttime walk through the park.
Park registrar Markus Wilder said: "This year was the best Fright Night we have had over the past four years, raising a total of £2,053 which is absolutely brilliant. We are very proud of all of our friends, staff and volunteers who helped out during the night."
Clarence and his furry friend Brutus joined the park in January after they were rescued from a circus in France where they had been kept in a 21ft trailer and subjected to training methods which relied heavily on physical abuse.
Staff at Wingham have been working to overcome behavioural and health problems caused from their time in the circus.
Jackie Binskin, who owns the park with husband Tony, said the big cats were settling in nicely and adapting to their newfound freedom.
She said: "It has taken them a long time, but they now use their whole enclosure, and love to have a look around the park from the top of their raised platform.
"To us these animals have had a hard life and deserve to be given a good sized home with quality food, where people can see and love them from afar, and without them having to perform for attention."

Patron of Operatic Society was a good friend to many in Barton
Posted: June 25, 2012|
Tributes have been paid to a patron of the Barton and District Amateur Operatic Society who has died aged 93.
Marjorie Johnson took part in numerous productions with the company and was also an avid dressmaker and gardener.
Born in Wrawby, Mrs Johnson moved to Barton-Upon-Humber in the mid-1930s.
She lived most of her life in the town, before spending her final years at various residential homes.
She died on Tuesday, May 22, at Sycamore Lodge care home in Scunthorpe.
Glenys Johnson, Mrs Johnson's daughter-in-law, said: "Marjorie was a very independent lady throughout her life, until illness took hold in the last three years.
"Marjorie did dressmaking, upholstery and was also a keen gardener.
"When she was 14, she won the runner-up cup for Carnival Queen at Scunthorpe War Memorial Hospital.
"She spent a brief time in the NAAFI service during the Second World War.
"She was a good mother to the late Edward and to Stephen and was also a good friend to many in the Barton-Upon-Humber area."
Mrs Johnson worked in a variety of roles at various companies, including Elswick Hopper Cycles and the Ropery, both in Barton.
Mrs Johnson's son Stephen Johnson, 64, said: "She was a very good mother to me and Edward.
"She was a member of the operatic society and was in many shows.
"She was then a patron when she couldn't do the acting any more."
Mrs Johnson had five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
A funeral service for her was held at Woodlands Crematorium in Scunthorpe on Thursday, May 31, officiated by the Reverend Manny Wiles.
Mr Johnson said he intended to carry out his mother's wishes by scattering her ashes on the Humber bank. He said: "After she met my dad, they did their courting along the Humber bank and that is why her wish was that her ashes were spread there."
