Corn Fritters
I usually never set out to make corn fritters—it's almost always an afterthought following an overzealous session of cooking corn-on-the-cob.
This happened last night, by the way. I cooked thirty ears of corn for my five-year-old's birthday party. Problem is, the only people in attendance were my immediately family—MM, the kids, and me—and Pesky Tim and his family. A total of ten people. Thirty ears of corn. I'm not sure what, if anything at all, I was thinking.
I guess I was afraid I wouldn't have enough.
To make matters worse, I let everyone dig into the birthday cake before dinner. I'd made my Chocolate Sheet Cake, omitting the pecans in the icing, which results in a perfect, smooth, chocolaty cake that's pretty much irresistible…so we ate our meal in reverse order.
Which means I was left with pretty much 28 ears of corn.
Nice, eh?
Anyway, as I was saying, I never set out to make corn fritters, and usually only do it when I have leftover corn.
But I'm always glad when I make them. They're delightfully yummy!
I needed about 4 cups of corn, so I sliced the kernels off of about six ears. I had undercooked the corn last night, so it really was in between done and not done.
I love crunchy corn, though.
I really sliced the heck out of 'em. Poor cobs.
Yanked some chives out of my garden.
Chives. Oh, how I love them. They're so dainty, so petite. So green.
While you make the batter, go ahead and heat some oil in a pot or skillet over medium to medium low heat. If you have a deep fry thermometer, heat the oil to about 365 degrees. Any hotter than that, and the fritters will burn pretty quickly.
Add the flour, baking powder, and sugar to a bowl.
Crack in the eggs and add in the salt.
Next, add the cayenne pepper. It's the right thing to do.
Whisk it together gently, adding a little more milk if it's too thick.
Throw in the corn and the chopped chives. Yum. Yum yum. Yum yum yum.
Fold the mixture together, making sure the corn is fully incorporated into the batter.
The mixture shouldn't be sticky; it shouldn't all hold together. It should be a little on the loosey-goosey side.
Now, with a spoon or a cookie scoop (I like using the scoop!)…
Drop little lumps of batter into the hot oil.
Watch the fritters and flip them to the other side when the first side starts to get golden brown.
Don't allow them to get too brown!
Remove them to a towel-lined plate and allow them to drain.
Until you have a nice, big plate!
Now, you can serve these in a big basket as a munchie or appetizer…or make them as an accompaniment to grilled hamburgers or a big shrimp or crab boil.
Or, for a really special treat, sprinkle them generously with sifted powdered sugar!
You'll just have to trust me on this.
But you know what?
Here's how I like to eat them.
Pure, sweet, perfect maple syrup drizzled over the top. Divine.
Don't tell anyone…okay?
I'm a little embarrassed about it.

Ree, I am from SoCal like you, but just (two hours ago!) got back from a visit to Oklahoma. Coincidentally, I tried corn fritters for the first time at Rooster's in Henessy (sp?). It is a small world
Megan D On Sunday, June 7 at 1:55 am
I'll have to try these with corn flour to make them gluten free
Jen On Sunday, June 7 at 4:59 am
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I LOVE corn fritters, haven't had them in years! When I was a kid my parents would take us out for Friday night fish fry and they always served corn fritters and potato pancakes with the family style meal. I don't think I ever ate the fish, just filled up on the fritters and potato pancakes. I agree, corn fritters with maple syrup, like heaven on a plate!
kim at allconsuming On Sunday, June 7 at 5:22 am
You know, these are very lovely with some red capsicum diced up and thrown in too – I pan fry them as bigger fritters – like a tablespoon or two of mix and flattened in the pan a bit – and then serve them with sour cream, sweet chilli sauce and rocket. YUM. You can – if you so wish – also cook up some bacon rashes to serve with it and you have a pretty darn awesome breakfast.
Laura On Sunday, June 7 at 7:19 am
with maple syrup is exactly how I ate them as a kid!!
Cristy On Sunday, June 7 at 7:40 am
I meant to post when you mentioned the excess corn… its probably too late now, but I'll mention it anyway…
what about corn chowder? It is one of my favorite soups and I love to make big batches of it, then freeze it into smaller containers.
Sandy On Sunday, June 7 at 7:48 am
That is exactly how my Mom made them and served them with maple syrup!! So good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jamie On Sunday, June 7 at 8:33 am
I love my corn fritters with syrup! That's how I grew up eating them.
A On Sunday, June 7 at 8:35 am
I'm eating mine with honey!!
Cate On Sunday, June 7 at 9:37 am
Left over corn — bet there weren't any left-over water balloons… Sounds like lots of fun was had at the party — dessert first & water balloons… great combo!
Lucy On Sunday, June 7 at 9:44 am
I made these last night to go with the meatloaf I made for dinner. Delicious! I was almost too full to eat dinner 'cause I'd had so many to eat before the meatloaf was done! We ate them plain.
I also made the easy apple fritter for dessert, but used rhubarb instead of apples…Oh my, it was good!
Tina Dee On Sunday, June 7 at 11:04 am
Oh yum!
What a fine way to disguise a veggie! LOL! Well, Lil Tiger already eats corn, but this makes for such a nice change. (And I like that syrup! Drizzle it one, bebe!)
Tina Dee
Sure I have recipes! (But Rees are better, and no, I'm not ashamed to say so, LOL!)
Barbara On Sunday, June 7 at 11:27 am
You have corn already where you live? I am jealous beyond words.
melissa B On Sunday, June 7 at 1:24 pm
Ree I made these with supper last night it was great.
LilSis On Sunday, June 7 at 1:52 pm
I've never ever made corn fritters, but these look yummy!
Claire Bonk On Sunday, June 7 at 3:13 pm
Woman, I love your commentary but most of the recipes you post I will never make because I love my body. Sometimes I can adapt them- I veganized Ryan's Bolognese sauce, the horror, I know! But, eating healthy makes me feel so good, and that's what life's all about.
KK On Sunday, June 7 at 4:50 pm
I love these dusted with a bit of powdered sugar & a drizzle of honey. YUMmy.
thecatskillkiwi On Sunday, June 7 at 4:50 pm
sweetcorn fritters are something i have been making since my after school snack days, and they are LONG GONE!
this is my favorite…
Bev On Sunday, June 7 at 6:26 pm
Made these today, I had frozen corn. Turned out very well. Thanks. Ate them with butter. I know, not enough fat in them already! But they were really good. In the past, I've eaten them with maple syrup as well.
Michelle On Sunday, June 7 at 6:44 pm
Syrup!? I thought we used to eat them with ketchup….
Kimberly On Sunday, June 7 at 7:11 pm
I made these tonight with burgers. So good. Thanks!
hana On Sunday, June 7 at 10:30 pm
For heaven's sake, can't we here in the City of Angels & across the globe just reach into our cupboards for a can of corn to make these….. cuz that's what I got?
PB Rippey/sleepless mama On Monday, June 8 at 12:48 am
Have a bit of a frying phobia, but these look so good I shall overcome all obstacles in order to make them. Think positive!
Kirsten On Monday, June 8 at 12:48 am
Corn Fritters – I've never heard about it before. Is it someting American? Sounds great. Maybe I should try it, too. We Germans love to try international food.
Carolyn On Monday, June 8 at 2:35 am
My friend has a theory that adding maple syrup to ANYTHING makes it taste better. If not better, it at least doesn't make it taste worse. The only example we could come up with where that theory does not hold true is sushi. Not sure I could eat sushi with maple syrup.
KelliSue On Monday, June 8 at 7:36 am
Seriously yum! My pregnant self must make these immediately because they would go well with Salt Potatoes.
erin On Monday, June 8 at 8:19 am
Yum!! Growing up, I remember putting grape jelly on our corn fritters. I haven't had those in ages and now i'm tempted to make them again.
Jacque On Monday, June 8 at 8:53 am
I have always wanted to make these. You have inspired me to give it a try next weekend.
Lindsey On Monday, June 8 at 9:55 am
These look fantastic…and I don't believe I have ever had a corn fritter, which is a shame, since I love corn so much!
Ernestine On Monday, June 8 at 11:05 am
PW, my Mother made this years ago and I haven't thought about them since I was a kid. I love them. Maybe Saturday night these will be in my future!
Thanks, Ree

I have never had a corn fritter. I look forward to trying them.
Kerri On Monday, June 8 at 1:22 pm
Oh I LOVE corn fritters! My mom made them often — with juicy T-bone steaks and macaroni salad. Her recipe includes beaten egg whites, which makes them puff up all light and fluffy – SO Good!
Michelle On Monday, June 8 at 1:29 pm
These have been on my mind since I first saw them here. I've never made them myself, but I remember having some delicious ones at a B&B where my husband and I stay once. They served theirs with honey not maple. I am making them tonight because my husband is finally home from a business trip. I wonder if he will remember where we've had them before.
tina On Monday, June 8 at 3:12 pm
interesting..never had these before..I was thinking Franks vs maple syrup..let you know the outcome when I make this in a couple of months at least cuz I am productive like that

Corn Critters! At least that's what I called them when I was 5! Did Ga-Ga ever take you to the Ideal Cafe for corn fritters? Luella could make THE BEST! It makes my mouth water even now. I never thought of making them for myself. Hmmm….. I have corn in the freezer and I am not afraid to use it.
joy On Monday, June 15 at 9:12 am
Wow! We were a little late in appreciating your corn fritters but my daughter was spending the night last night and wanted to make the corn fritters. My husband had his heart set on a new dirty rice recipe he has found and wanted to make. Daughter goes to the store for ingredients and comes home with pre mad k-bobs from our favorite big city grocery store and the makings for your peanutbutter pie. All I had to do was make the salad. But let me tell you–those CORN FRITTERS are dangerous. Yes–the scales were up about 2 lbs this morning. The peanut butter pie didn't help any either. Thanks for the inspiration in the kitchen.

I made these for our 4th of July celebration, as a side to my dad's smoked ribs… everyone raved… they were a total hit!
Amber On Sunday, July 12 at 5:39 pm
There's a small restaurant chain in South Florida called Scruby's BBQ. They serve their corn fritters with cinnamon butter. I would imagine maple syrup to be equally tasty.
Miche On Thursday, July 30 at 7:09 pm
I know this is from a month ago and adding a comment now is sort of ridiculous, but…
OH MY GOSH! Thank you so much for posting this! My step mom used to make these exact fritters when I was growing up and we gobbled them up with syrup. YUM!
Michele Zwart On Sunday, September 27 at 1:10 pm
I made these today and we ate them with tacos. Smothered those babies in powdered sugar when they were done. Mmmm….divine.
Julie Williams On Friday, October 9 at 10:41 pm
OMG……..I have searched everywhere for a recipe like this! My mom, who passed away 10 years ago, used to make these as a side dish with dinner and we always poured maple syrup over them! All I remember is that it was a huge treat for us and I never found the recipe amongst her belongings. PW, you need not be embarrassed for drizzling maple syrup over the top – you are not alone. I can't wait to make this recipe!

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to postpone a referendum on whether to allow major casinos off Indian land in New York.
That vote by the public to amend the constitution to allow casino gambling beyond tribal facilities had been anticipated this November.
But Cuomo says the lack of statewide political races could reduce voter turnout and support for the referendum. He proposes three upstate casinos, but the Legislature could change that. The sites haven't been selected.
Cuomo is promoting his casino proposal as an economic development and jobs project for upstate.
The Legislature is scheduled to give its required second approval of a constitutional amendment to expand gambling before the end of session on June 20.

Some Reasons Why Patients May Have Low L-methylfolate Include:
Certain medications may interfere with folate:
- Anticonvulsant medications used to control seizures and other conditions such as lamotrigine (Lamictal®), valproate/divalproex sodium(Depakote®), and carbamazepine (Carbatrol®, Epitol®,Tegretol®)
- Methotrexate (Rheumatrex®, Texall®) which is commonly used for psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Sulphasalazine (Azulfidine®) for inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis
- Oral contraceptives (birth control pills)
- Metformin (Fortamet®, Glucophage®, Glumetza®) is used to treat type 2 diabetes
- Fluoxetine (Prozac®, Sarafem®) is an antidepressant that works as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)
- Niacin (Niaspan®, Slo-Niacin®) and fenofibrates (Tricor®, Trilipix®) are commonly used to lower cholesterol
- Warfarin (Coumadin®) is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clots due to irregular heartbeat, prosthetic heart values and heart attack.
- Isotetrinoin (Accutane®, Amnesteem®, Claravis®, Sotret®) a retinoid medication for severe acne
Some diseases have been associated with low folate:
- Diabetes
- Atrophic gastritis
- Crohn's disease
- Colitis
- Renal failure
- Hypothyrodism
Certain lifestyles may lead to lower L-methylfolate
- Excessive use of alcohol
- Smoking
- Poor nutrition
- L-methylfolate in the brain decreases with age
- Up to 70% of patients with depression have a genetic mistake, called the MTHFR polymorphism. It is an enzyme defect that compromises the body's ability to break down folate (from the diet or from synthetic folic acid found in vitamin supplements) into the L-methylfolate the brain needs to make neurotransmitters.

sebaceous glands on inner foreskin appearing?
Hi all,
Ok so I have been DTR-ing for a month now....
And sitting in the sunlight really carefully monitoring my skin I noticed something.
I use my DTR in a special way, even though I have a notched plate for my fren. I put it high on the glans so I have no problems with my fren.
The result was that after DTR-ing I always had a red area under the corona on my inner foreskin....It did not hurt and would always subside very quickly.
However I just found out that on the EXACT spot where my foreskin would always get red after DTR-ing (so not the area with the skin wrinkles which is more towards the bell) there are some tiny enlarged sebaceous glands and the skin feels rougher then the surrounding area (when carefully caressing with the fingertip). You cannot see t hem very well, however in good lighting I notice them. They aren't big, there aren't a lot but they are there on the EXACT spot that would get red, so I guess the friction can make them appear.
I will switch to using air tension because I cannot DTR without this friction on the skin....
However I would like to know if anyone knows about this issue....
Anyone else noticed something like this when really carefully looking at the skin in broad daylight? Or anyone heard about it?
Re: sebaceous glands on inner foreskin appearing?
I'm not sure what you are describing. A picture might help?
Re: sebaceous glands on inner foreskin appearing?
From what you are describing it sounds like the pusher is making contact with your inner skin in the sulcus. This happened to me too back when I used the DTR with pusher plate. It didn't hurt at first but after a few weeks of use it started to hurt to the point I had to force myself to continue using the DTR. The pusher plate is too big for your glans as it should make contact with the glans but not go over and make contact with your inner skin.
I suggest you contact Chuck to see if he can make you a properly sized pusher plate. If he can't or won't you can order a correct sized pusher and rods from Ron which can be used with the DTR. You can also get a deeper pusher from Ron as well which likely will enhance the comfort if you have enough skin to use with it. You just need to use 2 set screws and center the rod in the rod hole on the DTR. If it wasn't for me switching to Reverse Taping I would have had Ron make a rod or threading in the TLC-X pusher to fit the DTR body without the need of using a 2nd set screw.
I do not think inner skin/mucosa has sebaceous glands which produce skin oils in other skin on our body, but I could be wrong.
Re: sebaceous glands on inner foreskin appearing?
It may be that you are discovering that you have pearly penile papules (PPP), a normal variant in human penile anatomy. Only 20% - 25% of males have PPPs. The presence of PPPs is sometimes masked by the heavy cornification of a circ'd penis. Then, when the man restores, he is alarmed when the PPPs become evident post-dekeratinization. Perhaps you are dekeratinizing first in the areas in contact with the DTR. PPPs sometimes cause disconsternation because they are often mistaken for genital warts.
If a man discovers he has PPPs, he should enjoy them. They are very sensitive. They are thought to be an evolutionary vestige of the sensitive flexible spines that encircle the penises of some of our primate cousins. There are cosmetic medical procedures offered to remove them, but these procedures are generally hairy-brained, and ill-advised - resulting in low patient satisfaction rates.
References with photos:
(See section "B2 OTHER GENITAL CONDITIONS" on this long Penis Problem web page.)
Many photos of PPPs can be found by searching the key phrase "pearly penile papules" in Google Images.
World As Monkey Island
Re: sebaceous glands on inner foreskin appearing?
Hi guys,
Well please know that I am a Phd in medicine so I know what I am talking about (I do not mean this in a pretentious way).
I know ppp, I have had them all my life....
PPP is on the rim of the glans....
However I am now talking about the inner-foreskin right under the glans that became red during DTR-ing.
Let me first comment on one of the remarks posted below, stating that "inner-foreskin has no sebaceous glands"
Ok this is absolutely false....Your WHOLE body is covered by sebaceous glands, also the shaft of the penis and the inner-foreskin AND the glans.
However, they are almost invisible to the naked eye.
Fordyce spots for example are enlarged glands mostly in combination with a tiny hair follicle.
We all have sebaceous glands, just not the visible fordyce spots.
How else do you think the skin becomes Keratinized if we don't have sebaceous glands? These glands create keratin due to keratinocyte cells....
Now concerning the inner-foreskin, it is also covered by sebaceous glands, but they are ectopic, as underneath the skin....You actually CAN see them due to the whitish yellowish discoloration when pulling the skin tight in the sunlight (however they are quite hard to see)
For example see chuck's picture here: http://www.foreskinrestore.com/effects.html
Check the 4th picture....the whitish spots you see there are not just a picture mistake or anything, these are clearly sebaceous glands and they are very normal.
However VERY VERY small ones became raised in my case, just like TINY patches on the area that became red....
I just wanted to know if anyone else (REALLY focussing on the skin from different angles when pulled tight) has seen anything like it....

While I don't have an opinion on the proper state of the school budget for Beaverton, I will make a few comments on Greenteacher's faulty ideas. First you say that no one has to quit violin. That is not true. There are many families that could not afford private lessons. If its not available in the schools then the great majority of people are not going to get access to a musical education. Second, you say volunteers should be found to support the music program. How convenient, that because you don't want to pay your small part in taxes you see having someone else bear the entire cost is a good solution. Why don't we fire the math and science teachers as well, and find volunteers for that? Certainly we can find qualified people to teach algebra and calculus, who would be willing to do it for no pay. If we can't, we can just "pass the hat" at Intell and that would take care of things.
Don't you see how utterly ridiculous your suggestion is?
Despite the cringe worthy comments of some of the regulars here about economic eugenics, I have to admit that i find these articles to be missing the point. The section 8 housing program depends on the cooperation of landlords. Obviously, a landlord who can fill their building without turning to section 8 will do so. As another poster pointed out Section 8 renters, as an overall class, are higher risk than someone with a good employment history and a good paying job. That is not to say all section 8 renters are a problem, not all are (I once lived next to one who was a perfectly nice person who caused no problems whatsoever) but the fact is that lower income correlates with an increased level of various social problems. If you have 100 apartments and rent them to section 8 renters I firmly believe you will have more problems than if you rent 100 apartments to non-section 8 renters.
As a result, section 8 renters tend to get concentrated into neighborhoods that are less desirable, because the landlords need section 8 to keep their building filled. This results in a sort of chicken-and-egg situation. The people you are trying to help end up living in areas with less successful schools, more crime, more drug use, fewer good employment opportunities, etc. This makes it more difficult to break out of a pattern of poverty.
None of that is to say that I think these programs are a waste of time. Many people's lives are significantly improved by these programs and there are success stories (my former neighbor, for example). For those who want to start complaining about 'lazy people on public assistance" I seriously doubt that they have a clue what living on those programs is like. Its better than sleeping outdoors, but not that much. These programs keep people hovering on the upper end of poverty. They aren't homeless, they have something to eat (usually) but its not much more than that. They certainly aren't loving the high life. Some of these people are in their situation as the result of bad choices, but many are not. They were born into bad situations, received a minimal quality education, perhaps found themselves in a family way early (and before you judge that happens in all socio-economic levels, its just that when it happens to someone who comes from money they have support) or simply find that because of their background/appearance/manner of speech they can't get a job that doesn't involve a paper hat. Racism, discrimination, and even gender bias are still very real issues in the workforce. Add to the the staggering cost of child care, and you can end up with situations where the economically smart choice for a single parent is not to work, because it would cost them more than their wage to have someone watch the kids.
My point is that getting out of poverty is not a simple or easy thing to do. Many people try, most of them fail. It is far from as simple as making the effort.
As I have said in a few other post, I would like to see you do it. We expect to see teachers manage huge number of kids, numbers that would get a day care closed for being irresponsible and unsafe, and we make teachers more responsible for the success of those students than their own parents. I am not a teacher, but I have seen it up close and first hand, and its a VERY hard, VERY skilled job. Every teacher I have ever known works off the clock trying to take care of YOUR kids, and puts their own money into supplies and equipment for their classroom. You call them babysitters, but if we paid them per kid per hour, like a TEENAGER, who is charged only with keeping the kids safe and not teaching them anything, they would make more than twice what they do working for the school district. Considering how many parents would be absolutely unable to provide an even basic education for their children without the teachers in your local school, shouldn't we be showing them a bit more respect.
I totally disagree. I doubt one person in 100 could manage a classroom. Its a very hard, very skilled job to do well. Teachers aren't stocking shelves at Walmart, they are doing complex work, trying to given attention to individual students who they have to manage in ridiculously large numbers. I would like to see anyone who thinks a teacher's job is easy just babysit 35 kids for a day, let alone get the to do any school work. We expect people to not only have a college degree to do this work but to have a graduate degree on top. Its an impossible, thankless, no win job under the current system, and teachers get almost no respect for often caring more about kids than many parents do.
I find that an undefendable position, LeeLee. For everyone who is saying "this would never cut it int he private sector", I defy you to spend a week doing a public school teacher's job. Teacher routinely work off the clock to get all their responsibilities taken care of, and every teacher I have known goes out of their own pocket on supplies and equipment for their classroom. If teachers started working only what they got paid for and spending only the school system's money parents would be jumping up and down about them doing a bad job. Teaching is an very difficult, skilled profession that requires and advanced degree. We expect teachers to manage ridiculously huge numbers of kids that we would call irresponsible and unsafe in a day care center, yet somehow its ok for a teacher to have 30 or 35 kids to supervise. We expect them to be able to understand and accommodate the needs of all of these students, give them individual attention for kids performing below (or above) their grade level, be responsible for test scores, even on students whose parents never check homework or spend a minute at the school, and yet people seem to think they get paid too much.
Again, I defy you to try it. 99% of people who spent a week in a classroom doing a teacher's job would beg to be let out.
Are you really arguing that the people who educate are children should be paid at less than the poverty level?????? While teachers do have more vacation than many jobs, it is hardly part time. Teachers put in many hours "off the clock" preparing lessons, grading papers, going over student's work, etc. I have seen teachers volunteer to tutor students who need extra help, and every teacher I have known ( and I have known many) goes out of their own pocket for supplies and equipment. They struggle in a system that often has unresponsive administration and parents that expect teachers to have a greater impact on student performance than the parents do. If they best we can do for them is the fact that they are not below the poverty line, something is dreadfully wrong.
Also, if you are regularly working large amounts of overtime without extra pay, have you considered forming a Union? Why drag down someone else, instead of putting the blame of the tiny number of incredibly rich people who have concentrated most of the wealth of this country under their control?
If you break down pay per hour per child under their supervision, public school teachers earn less money than untrained child care workes. Despite this, we expect them to have an expensive graduate education. Every teacher I have ever known puts in hours off the clock on school projects, and contributes their own money to supplies and equipment. They teach because it is their vocation, not because they see it as a "easy government job." If they were in it for the money the 5+ years of college they put in could get them a far better position.
While there are certainly problems with the school system, and there are a few bad apples in the system, on the whole teachers work very hard, and are rarely given the respect they deserve, especially by lazy irresponsible parents who consider the education of their children to be someone else's job, even when they are ranting for a pay cut for the teachers who spend more time trying to give their kids a future than they do.
I still don't know how the rich in the country have talked to poor into trying to destroy the middle class, rather than going after the rich. Union workers built this country. You can't run an economy if everyone but the CEOs get broken down to service industry wages.
While I have zero sympathy for Mr. Whiteacker in this case, he clearly did a horrible thing, the idea that you can save money by putting people in jail is crazy. Keeping a person in jail is extremely expensive. A recent study done in California indicated that it costs an average of 47,000 dollars a year to keep some one in prison. And America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. We have a greater percentage of our population in prison that China, that Iran, than North Korea. Prisons and jails are overcrowded to the point that people who do need to be detained for the safety of the community are sometimes released or given a short stay because there simply is a place to put them.
Again, Mr. Whiteacker has a horrible history, and may indeed be on of the people who really needs to be locked up, but our society has such a "lock them up and throw away the key" mentality that we have run out of resources to incarcerate those who truly need to be incarcerated. Our system needs a top to bottom review of who we send to jail, and for how long, because our current system is crumbling under the weight and cost of all the people we already have in prison.
So, when a white guy does meth and commits crimes, do you to put up posts that say being white is the problem? Seems like there is always some racist on this site that thinks while white people may be criminals, non whites are criminals BECAUSE they are non whites. Absolute racist blathering nonsense.
This article says nothing about the man's national origin or citizenship status. Why are you assuming he is a 'second generation" Hispanic, whatever that means. There have been Hispanics living on the west coast of what is now America since before America was even a country. It is entirely possible that his family was here long before yours was. And even if he is a recent immigrant or the son of an immigrant, that has nothing to do with his situation. If you saw an article about a white man who committed a crime would you assume that the man's ethnicity had anything to do with it? That crime could be decreased if we got rid of white people in the area? I very much doubt it. There is a term for making blind, blanket judgments and assumptions based on race: its called RACISM, And it makes you a RACIST.
I don't really see this as a slap on the wrist. The woman has lost her job and won't be able to work in her field for years. She will spend two years reporting to a probation officer, which means there are restrictions on her travel, liberty, etc, and she can go back to jail if she doesn't meat the requirements of her probation. And every job application she fills out for years to come will have this come up in her background check. Her victim was embarrassed by her low behavior, but she is going to affected by this for years to com. Jail is too expensive and precious a resource to spend on this woman, jail cells need to be available for more dangerous criminals.
How can you be so blindly pro-business that when a company has nine safety violations that are potentially fatal you react by criticizing the guy who filed the complaint? Are people supposed to be so desperate for work that they should die for their job? You can't make a job like that totally safe, but companies have a responsibility to take all reasonable steps and follow all regulations to keep their employees as safe as possible.
Its not that healthcare itself is unaffordable, its that the union wants an incredibly expensive healthcare option (tiny copays, no deductible, etc) with huge contributions from trimet. I am pro union, and all for living wage jobs, but unions need to see themselves as a partner in an operation, not just a force for squeezing every penny they can out of their employer. Trimet is cutting service and raising fees to cover costs. The public is going to bear the cost of that. The union needs to do their part to help the system get through difficult times.
1-What are you smoking?
2-What does your confused mumbling have to do with the article?
The case in question involved a man who had called police, admitted to committing a crime, told them he possibly had a weapon, and then when police arrived was brandishing what appeared to be a pistol. Police have the right to keep themselves safe. Police risk their lives every day by just doing their job. I don't think they are obligated to expose themselves to undue risk to protect the life of someone who is claiming to be a criminal and then presenting a deadly threat. Every shooting death is a tragedy. But people make their own choices. Mr. Morgan's actions lead predictably to his death. Law enforcement does not have the responsibility to refrain from force against a visible and credible threat because there is a chance that the threat might be staged. That will simply lead to the death of officers.
Because the job creator is stealing from both their employees and the government. Three separate times an employee or group of employees has taken them to court for unpaid overtime. They have also taken payroll takes out of people's check but not ever passed them on to the government. If someone who didn't own a business did that you would be screaming to throw them in jail. But business get to steal from both employees and the government because the "create job"? How would you feel if you did an honest day of work but didn't get your agreed pay? Probably ripped off, probably cheated. Should you put up with unfair treatment just because it comes from a business? The people responsible for closing this business are the owners and their bad judgement and dishonest practices, not the government.
Bo and Steve didn't pay people the fair wages they had earned and took payroll taxes out of people's check but didn't send them on to the government. How you can spin that to anything other than "greedy crook" is beyond me. They cheated their employees and they cheated the government. If this is your model of a good business overtaxed32 then I guess you can put me down as "anti-business". I expect businesses to be honest and follow the law. Tell you what, why don't you come over to my house, take care of my yard and organize the garage, and then I will pay you half as much as I said I would. If you complain, I will tell you to shut up because I created a job. Under your method of thinking, I would be in the right and you should not complain.
They didn't pay the taxes the business owed. Three separate times they have been sued by employees or groups of employees for not paying them their fair wages. I worked in the restaurant business for years when I was younger and, no, lawsuits and wage disputes are not common. I was always paid my wage and overtime, no matter where I worked. Something was very, very wrong in this business. At minimum these people were unfit to run a business, at maximum they were intentionally cheating their employees out of pure greed. Either way this is not the kind of job we need to keep around.
First, thanks for the opportunity to call you schmuck and not get busted for it schmuck283.
Are you suggesting it is ok to break the law and abuse employees just because one is in business? What is the limit of what one can do in the name of creating a job? Not pay overtime? How about pay less than a legal wage? What about unsafe working conditions?
There are plenty of restaurants that follow every labor law and are a financial success. There is no way to justify the action of these people or this business. They didn't "need" to do this, they did it out of greed, out of a desire to stick a few more dollars in their pockets on the backs of people who work for a living. Its deplorable and despicable. The only ones who carry any blame in this case are the owners of the business. If we are to praise them for being "job creators", let us also blame them for being "job destroyers". Had they not been greedy and engaged in illegal business practices there employees would likely still have jobs. Even if Bo Kline is really getting out of the business because of personal reasons and not the investigation, the chain could have been sold and the employees could have kept their jobs. As it stands, Steve and Bo Kline put these people out of work by running their business into the ground.
Are we really at a point where a job that doesn't follow the law, doesn't pay you your due wages, and abuses its employees is a job worth saving? Maybe we should revoke all labor laws and let employers pay $5 a day like they do in Asia to "create jobs"? I swear, I just don't understand people who are so knee-jerk pro business that they think an employee should take whatever beating an employer gives them and be grateful for it. Employees are as important as the business. If an business can't be profitable while following labor laws and standards of human decency, respecting their employees as the source of their wealth and a valuable asset, then that business is not a valid business model.

Armadillo Run made the shortlist (nominated for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize and the Design Innovation Award) at the 2007 IGF awards. It is independantly published, and is only available from the games website armadillorun.com.GameplayThe main aim of the game is to move the armadillo textured ball into the blue sphere for 5 seconds. This is done using the physics engine and a number of different materials to build a structure that will do this. The different types of matierials available are:ropeclothmetal barmetal sheetselasticrubberrocketsEach of the materials have a cost associated with them, they are listed in cost order above. The secondary goal of each level is to remain under budget.Most levels have anchor points which are solid points that do not move, allowing the structure to be built around them. There are also levels which do not use these, requiring rockets to hold up a lightweight structure.The game comes with 50 developer-made levels; however users can use the included level editor to make their own and then share them with other users of the game online. This gives the game unlimited potential as there will always be new levels released by other users.There is a sort of classification of levels called Spectator levels.

Hello, Columbus! Bike sharing has come to the home of The Ohio State University, in a new program called CoGo.
The bike sharing system launched Tuesday morning, according to the Columbus Dispatch, with 30 bike sharing locations spread across the city. The program, like many across the United States, is run by the city in conjunction with Alta Bike Share. The city and Alta have a contract that calls for revenues to be split, once operating costs are covered.

Justin NormanSport: Snowboarding
Hometown: Eugene, OR
Currently: Bend,OR
Follow Justin:
Upon arriving in Bend, Oregon, in 2004, snowboarder Justin Norman began gathering attention for his skills on the mountain and quickly gained multiple sponsors, including Amplid Snowboards, Jiberish Clothing, iNi cooperative outerwear, Mt. Bachelor, Black Strap face masks, Neff Headwear, Smith Optics, and Sanuk footwear. Justin has been featured in numerous snowboarding videos and films, including a recent segment in the Stept Productions video, MUTINY. Justin plans to continue filming this winter in Europe with a few of his sponsors.
Originally from Eugene, Oregon, Justin finished high school in Bend, Oregon, where he went on to complete his Associates of Culinary Management at Central Oregon Community College and Oregon State University Cascades. He is working on his Bachelors in Tourism and Outdoor Leadership to create a career pathway that is creative and rewarding.
Justin spends his summers near the top of a glacier on Mt. Hood, working at Windells ski/snowboard camp.
Career Highlights:
- Obtained Associates of Culinary Management and currently studying for Bachelors of Tourism and Outdoor Leadership
- Other sponsors include: Amplid snowboards, Jiberish clothing, iNi cooperative outerwear, Mt. Bachelor, Black Strap face masks, Neff Headwear, Smith Optics, and Sanuk footwear
- Other hobbies: Skateboarding, cooking, rock climbing and creating art
- Favorite Hydro Flask product: 40 oz with Straw Lid Cap
Justin's Top 5:
- My first crucial item is indeed my matte black 40 oz Hydro Flask with the Straw Lid. This usually contains ice cold water on most days, and on extra special days it is filled with Boneyard's Hop Venom to really get the party started!
- Second crucial item would have to include my comfy snowboard boots made by a company called 32 boots. This is a really important item because I am on my feet for hours when I am out slashing pow, flipping off jumps, and sliding metal rails. A good pair of insoles makes all the difference in a long day of shredding on the mountain.
- Third item has to be the Amplid Pocketknife 150 because it is such a universal tool which is perfect for riding the terrain park, launching into powder, and just everyday freeride use on the mountain.
- Fourth piece of equipment is a pair of Neff mittens to keep my hands toasty warm and looking stylish. I just got a pair that are formally called trigger finger style gloves with a funny graphic of a lobster claw on them.
- Lastly I need eye protection from the elements, so I turn to Smith optics for goggles and sunglasses as sun protection. I prefer the Smith I/O model goggle because it is super easy to get the lens out to clean or change it out for another lens. For shades I enjoy the Mastermind model because they are basic yet provide excellent protection from the elements.

UF football offensive coordinator Brent Pease is getting the Gator offense ready to take on the challenge of Missouri on the road Saturday. After head coach Will Muschamp announced running back Matt Jones would be out for the season with a torn meniscus, Pease said there would be changes in the run game, with running backs Mack Brown and Kelvin Taylor getting the majority of the carries. Pease said he was very impressed with Taylor to date.
Florida only had 2.8 yards per carry in Baton Rouge, and were outrushed in total by LSU by about 60 yards. While the Gators did not turn the ball over at all, they did concede four sacks. Pease said the blocking has a lot of improvement to do.
Florida faces a Missouri that is unbeaten and coming off a win against Georgia. The Tigers put up 41 points against a top 10 Georgia Bulldogs team. However, Mizzou lost their quarterback James Franklin to a separated shoulder. Even without Franklin, Pease said they're a solid offense and a force to be reckoned with on the defensive side as well.
Florida's game with Missouri kicks off at 12:21pm eastern time, an 11:21am central time start in Columbia. The last time the Gators played in a game before noon they matched up against Vanderbilt in 2010, a 55-14 win.

Avry Holmes is transferring to Clemson after playing the past two seasons at San Francisco. The 6-2 point guard arrived at Clemson on Saturday night for an official visit and was expected to sign his financial aid agreement Monday before flying back to the west coast.
Holmes said Clemson coach Brad Brownell moved in on him quickly once the word of his transfer plans got out.
"When I signed my release, they were obviously one of the schools that contacted me. They wanted me to get on campus fast. They were the only ones moving fast."
Last season, Holmes helped lead the Dons to the NIT, starting 33 games and averaging 12.5 points per game.
Holmes will sit out this season, something he said he will benefit from, and he'll have two years to play with the Tigers.
Charleston Southern's Alex Tomasovich was named the Big South player of the week, while brother and teammate Andrew Tomasovich was tabbed pitcher of the week.
Alex Tomasovich, a senior, batted .375 with six hits and three RBIs to lead the Buccaneers to a 3-1 record last week.
Andrew Tomasovich, a sophomore, needed only 100 pitches to complete a 1-0 shutout of Presbyterian on May 3. It was his first career complete game.
As part of the Big South's 30th anniversary celebration, the conference announced its first-ever All-Decade teams to recognize the student-athletes and coaches who excelled in their respective sports since the conference's founding in 1983.
Charleston Southern tennis players honored were Julie Harnois (1990-99, 2-time all-conference), Thomas Miho (2000-09, 4-time all-conference) and Rohan Wadehra (2000-09, 3-time all-conference).
Former CSU men's coach Hans Olsen, (1990-99, 2 championships, one NCAA tournament, 2-time coach of the year, Big South Hall of Fame member) was also among those named to a team.

Colkers' 70th
Herb and Betty Colker were married Aug. 23, 1942, and are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary with friends and family at The Greenbrier.
The Colkers met in 1937 at a Cincinnati Opera performance at the Cincinnati Zoo Pavilion. She had been attending the opera since childhood, and he had been a Boy Scout Zoo Guide there for three years at the time.
The couple has a passion for opera, and have been season subscribers to the Cincinnati Opera for more than 40 years. They were featured in the 2012 Cincinnati Opera program, where he wrote, "Betty and I went steady for five years and married in 1942, before I went overseas for two years." The night before he left, they stood up for Rigoletto at the Met in New York, paying $2 each.
Both Herb and Betty are graduates of the University of Cincinnati. When Mr. Colker returned from the war, he and his brother Joe founded W.Va. Electric Supply Company, with headquarters in Huntington, W.Va.
They have four children, Larry, Steven, David and Deborah; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

The Vernon Board of Education moved to further discuss the creation and implementation of a dress code for faculty after some members expressed their disapproval of some staff attire in the hallways.
"It's frustrating to me to walk into the high school, and be walking down the hall and seeing people and not realizing that they are teachers, because they are dressed as casually as the students," said BOE Chairman Dean Houle. "That's not what I expect to see when I go in there, as far as being able to identify who's who."
Superintendent Mary Conway said she had spoken with the board's attorney, who said the board has the right to put forth a policy, but that it would be a "bargainable issue" with the teachers' union, which she said could argue the specifics of the dress code and/or the potential that teachers would be required to spend their own money on new clothing.
Board member Michele Arn said that, as part of the policy committee, she looked into policies of other boards of education and the recommendations of the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE). "The language is all extremely nebulous, because they are aware of the ramifications," Arn said of CABE's suggested verbage.
After entertaining the motion to send the matter to the policy committee, Houle said the intent would be for the committee to create a policy, which the board would then vote on, but he added that a social networking policy proposed last year was presented and then quashed by the board. "The board wasn't ready for that policy," Houle said. "This could be as hot an issue as that type of a policy. I know, personally, I'm interested in seeing us have a dress code policy. Those teachers in the classroom are role models, and what they project is what kids see."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge Softball team (24-14, 4-5 BWC) defeated UC Santa Barbara, 4-2, Wednesday afternoon in the season finale between the two squads. Amanda Pitzenberger threw a complete game and Micah Putnam had two RBIs to help lead the Matadors to the victory.
For CSUN, the victory snapped a five-game losing streak and pushed the squad to 24 victories on the season, the most by a Matador team since the 2004 squad won 35 games.
Pitzenberger allowed only four hits to the Gauchos, who entered the game leading the Big West Conference in hitting. The outing was her first complete game of the season and she finished with three strikeouts. Pitzenberger is now 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 13 strikeouts on the season.
At the plate, Putnam laced a sharp double, her fifth of the season, down the left-field line in the fourth inning to score two and give her a career-high 26 for the season. Hannah Fraijo and Tracy Allen had the other RBIs for CSUN and Allen and Jaclyn Rymer each had two hits on the game.
In the fourth, Christina Saenz drew a one-out walk and moved to second on a single by Rymer. Allen then belted a single through the left side to load the bases for Fraijo. After battling off several pitches with two strikes, Fraijo dropped a single into center field to give the Matadors a 1-0 lead and set-up Putnam's double.
In the fifth inning, Alexandria Alvarado led off the frame with a single. After Sanez grounded into a fielder's choice, Rymer collected her second hit of the game and Allen doubled to left to bring home Saenz.
UCSB would get two runs back in the bottom of the sixth inning, though Pitzenberger fought her way out of a bases loaded situation in the frame to preserve the Matador victory.
Northridge returns to action Saturday with a doubleheader against Cal Poly. First pitch in game one at Matador Diamond is slated for noon. Sunday, CSUN and CP meet at noon for a single game.

Gear Review
Love at first placement.
I have a rack I bought off a friend that is Tranago Flex cams. I've started to "double up" the rack in the common Sierra sizes but decided to try Camalots after reading the reviews. What a good idea. The range of these is a lot better than the other cams, plus the trigger is a lot smoother. I'll be getting more down to maybe .75 and then go to Metolious Master Cams for the smaller stuff.

instead of metolious ( i like them sorta) you should try the BD C3...... Really sturdy and very very flexible

"Before he passed away we were on tour and I would be like, 'Man, I'm tellin' y'all, check me into a psyc ward if something happens to that man,'" she said.
Thornton discussed Jackson during a The Aftermath segment about her favorite three songs. In addition to "Billie Jean," Thornton included on her list early 1960's classics from Jackie Wilson ("My Empty Arms") and Ben E. King ("Stand By Me").

Dec 14, 2012 Comments Off on HALLWAY HORROR: Heroic Teachers Shielded Kids From Gunman's Rampage Pat Dollard
Excerpted from The Jane Dough: The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut this morning, which is being called "the worst school shooting in recent U.S. history," is horrific, disturbing and upsetting in equal measure. Students who were in the school when the violence occurred were later interviewed by reporters and recounted the actions of many of their teachers once they learned that a shooter was in the building.
"I was in the gym and I heard a loud, like seven loud booms, and the gym teachers told us to go in the corner, so we all huddled," one student at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown told NBC Connecticut. "And I kept hearing these booming noises. And we all … started crying.
"All the gym teachers told us to go into the office where no one could find us," she added. "So then a police officer came in and told us to run outside. So we did and we came in the firehouse and waited for our parents."
From the Courant:
Parent Richard Wilford said his Sandy Hook second-grader, Richie, heard what he described as "pans falling" when gunshots rang out. He said that his son told him that the teacher went to go check, came back in and locked the door and told the students to stand in the corner.
There are also reports that a person in the principal's office, where the original confrontation with the shooter occurred, switched the PA system on in order to warn teachers and students of the danger.
Keep reading…
Excerpted from Fox News: The teachers the little ones have always trusted were there for them when a crazed gunman turned Sandy Hook Elementary School into a shooting gallery early Friday.
As reports come in from the horrific shooting in an affluent small town in Connecticut, the bravery of the teachers at the 600-student school provided a glimmer of hope in a story that sickened the nation.
"She was in a small class — a reading group, and they started hearing bangs," Procaccini said. "Her teacher, and I'm grateful for this, rushed kids into the bathroom and locked the door. They told kids it was hammering and tried to keep them calm."
Later, with the shaken survivors safe at a local firehouse, parents expressed their gratitude to the men and women who work every day with their kids and hugged their own children.
"Children were crying," Procaccini said. "[My daughter] did tell me about a little boy that was in a police officer's arms, bleeding. I don't know if she gets it."
Stephen Delgiadice told The Associated Press his 8-year-old daughter heard two big bangs, and teachers told her to get in a corner. His daughter was fine.
"It's alarming, especially in Newtown, Conn., which we always thought was the safest place in America," he said.
Richard Wilford's 7-year-old son, Richie, is in the second grade at the school. His son told him that he heard a noise that "sounded like what he described as cans falling."
The boy told him a teacher went out to check on the noise, came back in, locked the door and had the kids huddle up in the corner until police arrived.
"There's no words," Wilford said. "It's sheer terror, a sense of imminent danger, to get to your child and be there to protect him."
Melissa Makris, 43, said her 10-year-old son, Philip, was in the school gym. "He said he heard a lot of loud noises and then screaming. Then the gym teachers immediately gathered the children in a corner and kept them safe in a corner," Makris said.
An 8-year-old student told WCBS-TV how a teacher saved his life as he walked toward the school's main office, where the shooting started.
"I saw some of the bullets going down the hall that I was right next to, and then a teacher pulled me into her classroom," the student said. "It sounded like someone was kicking a door," he said of the bullets.
Sources identified the gunman as Adam Lanza, whose mother taught kindergarten at the school. He showed up early Friday wearing black military garb and toting three guns, according to reports. In the main office, and with the intercom transmitting the horror through the school's halls, he shot the principal.
He then made his way to his mother's class, sources said, where he killed her and her pupils. By the time it was over, Lanza, six adults and 20 young children were dead in the second-worst school shooting in the nation's history. Only the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, which left 32 dead, was worse.
Parent Brenda Lebinski told Reuters she rushed to the school, where her daughter is in the third grade, as soon as she heard the news.
"Everyone was in hysterics — parents, students," she said. "There were kids coming out of the school bloodied. I don't know if they were shot, but they were bloodied."

Goals of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program
SOURCE: The U.S. Climate Change Science Program Factsheet, available at http://www.climatescience.gov/infosheets/factsheet3/CCSP-3-StratPlanOverview14jan2006.pdf.
Improved understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that are involved in climate variability and change.
In performing its prioritization, the committee was cognizant of the scientific importance of maintaining long-term records of forcing and improving understanding of the climate system through starting or continuing records of responses. It also recognized the challenges of finding an appropriate balance between observations of climate forcing and response, and between sustained observations and improved "process" understanding. The committee also notes that its interpretation of the research agenda for climate-related issues is consistent with the five goals of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (Box 2.1).
The prioritization exercise was conducted during a December 17-19, 2007, meeting of the committee. The exercise was guided by the following overarching principles:
The objective of the committee's deliberations would be to prioritize restoration of climate capabilities. For example, a sensor with the capability to improve resolution of fast climate processes is of interest to both the weather forecast and climate research communities; however, it is the value to the latter that informs the committee's ranking.
The particular recovery strategy and the cost of recovery of a measurement/sensor would not be a factor in the ranking.3
Measurements/sensors on NPOESS would not be ranked against measurements/sensors on GOES-R; however, the criteria used in the ranking would be identical.
When it was relevant, judgments would be made according to the measurement objectives of a particular sensor, and not the sensor itself. Thus, for example, members of the committee considered the importance of radar altimetry to climate science, rather than the importance of the particular implementation of this capability on NPOESS, that is, the ALT instrument.

The third person bio
Kaya Oakes' third book, a hybrid memoir/ethnography/theological rant, Radical Reinvention, was published by Counterpoint Press in 2012. Her previous nonfiction book, Slanted and Enchanted: The Evolution of Indie Culture, was published by Henry Holt in 2009 and was selected as a San Francisco Chronicle notable book. She's also the author of a collection of poetry, Telegraph, which received the Transcontinental Poetry Prize from Pavement Saw Press. Her In 2002, Kaya co-founded Kitchen Sink Magazine, which received the Utne Independent Press Award for Best New Magazine in 2003. She edited and wrote for Kitchen Sink until it ended its print run in 2007. Currently, she writes about faith and feminism for Commonweal, Killing the Buddha, America, and other magazines and websites. Since 1999, she's taught writing at the University of California, Berkeley. She earned an MFA in creative writing at Saint Mary's College. Kaya has been the recipient of teaching fellowships from the Mellon Faculty Institute and the Bay Area Writing Project, as well as writing awards from the Academy of American Poets.
The first person bio
I was born at 6:36 PM on January 15, 1971, at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, California. My parents had been expecting and hoping for a boy, and had wanted to name me Martin Luther King Junior Oakes, but I turned out female and thus my birth certificate was left blank for several weeks until they made up their minds. Rumor has it my mother went into labor in a MacDonald's. My older siblings, Elizabeth, Robert, and Christine, are all interesting and successful people who only resented my intrusion into the family a little bit. When I was six, my younger sister Victoria was born and I confess did put glue into her hair a few times. My late father Leo liked to go on road trips, and I was hauled along with the family all the way to Alaska and Northern Canada in a VW Van named "Old Dog" while I was still in diapers. In Yellowknife, Yukon Territories, at a hospital normally frequented by men recovering from mining accidents, I was brought in because of a severe allergic reaction to mosquito bites. These kinds of adventures were repeated throughout my childhood.
Fast forward twenty or so years. After an unsuccessful stint at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, I moved back to my beloved hometown of Oakland, worked at Doctor Comics and Mister Games, joined a noise band called The Limbic System, and cut off my purple dredlocks. After college I worked at Viz Comics, went to grad school to study poetry, and started teaching writing. In 1997, when I was sullenly pushing cash register buttons at Black Oak Books, I met a nice guy who plays drums. We've been together ever since. After several years in adjunct limbo my part time job in the College Writing Programs at UC Berkeley became full time, and I'm now a Lecturer with a capital L.That basically means I don't have tenure.
In 2002, some friends and I who had worked together on an independent feminist magazine called Fabula somehow got the idea that we'd like to try putting out a magazine again after Fabula imploded, and Kitchen Sink Magazine was born. That ran for five years. In 2007, after sending it into approximately 200 poetry book competitions, my book Telegraph won something called the Transcontinental Poetry Prize from Pavement Saw Press. The same year, Kitchen Sink got screwed by its distributor and ceased to exist. And I signed a contract to write a nonfiction book about indie culture that later got titled Slanted and Enchanted. While I was promoting that book, I started writing another book (I hate sleep). It's called Radical Reinvention, and it came out in the summer of 2012.
Today I live in Oakland, continue to teach writing at UC Berkeley, contribute articles to lots of places. and tend to find myself reading six books at the same time. I only update my blog sporadically, but I do enjoy hearing from the occasional reader and doing readings and events now and then. I am a little bit of a recluse, but apparently that adds to the mystique.

If You've Got Asdrubal...
Acquired INF-S Zach Walters from Washington Nationals in exchange for SS-S Asdrubal Cabrera [7/31]
While 52 plate appearances doesn't even begin to sniff the edges of sample size relevance, Walters does tempt scouts and fans alike into believing he could continue posting rate stats similar to his "career" line so far of .234/.308/.489. As Professor Parks called it before the season, "Walters brings some legit thunder in the stick."

A finely-made performance guitar with a solid spruce top, sapele back and sides, and Taylor Expression System electronics.
The all-solid Taylor experience continues with the updated 2012 314ce Sapele/Spruce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Crisp, black binding flanks the satin-finish sapele back and sides and glossy Sitka spruce top, and then continues up the fretboard. The 300 Series is truly the performer's workhorse, combining technology and craftsmanship with understated style. A Grand Auditorium body, Venetian cutaway, and the Taylor Expression System™ add up to a versatile guitar that's perfect for stage and home.

Expression System
Using proprietary pickup technology developed at Taylor, the Expression System amplifies your guitar with an unrivaled, natural live sound. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally-clean amplified sound. It's your tone. Amplified.
