Noah Pozner: war and peace
These facts are indisputable. Yet my mind can't seem to hold them together in coherent thought. We are taught those who went to war fought so that we could live free. I wasn't born in this country and have only been a citizen for twenty-five years. That may be the reason why I have a hard time understanding that, to some Americans, freedom means having the right to procure, own and learn to use weapons that can obliterate classes full of children in seconds.
I have heard the old canard that guns don't kill, people do. That is certainly true. Guns cannot walk themselves into a school, a movie theater or a shopping mall and pull their own triggers. At least they can't yet. Who knows about tomorrow? If we can fly drones, is it far-fetched to imagine a world where affordable robots could be armed and programmed to go and kill?
Thousands cannot have died or nearly starved to death in prisoner camps -as my father did- to protect the right of gun enthusiasts to own and use weapons that were not even invented in their lifetimes. They died or starved to protect the lives and freedom of their families and fellow citizens, including the right of little children to get an education without being afraid of "bad men" blasting their way into their schools and the rights of parents everywhere to see their children peacefully grow into responsible adults.
Gun people may be entrenched in their conviction that their right to any deadly weapon under the sun is God-given and shouldn't be tampered with. Because of the powerful interests that stand behind them and skillfully manipulate at least some of them, they are very vocal and their voices carry far and wide.
Many of them are parents though. Because of our shared humanity, I know that in private these fathers and mothers are thinking: "What if it had been my kid? Would I still feel that the right to own semi-automatic weapons is more sacred than the right of my child to his or her life?"
To them I say, take my grandson, take all twenty of Newtown slaughtered children, take all the kids who die from gunshots every year in our country and make them your own. They were real boys and girls, just like your sons and daughters. Before raising your voice to be heard, in Washington or elsewhere, please listen for theirs in your heart and think of your own kids. Make it personal. Believe me, there is nothing more personal than grieving for a murdered child.

Another post with merit, and I agree there is nothing more personal than the loss of a child. I know that these special interests that you speak of are very persuasive and powerful. That being said, we need to fight and we need people who are not afraid to stand up to such organizations like the NRA.ReplyDelete
I am appalled that people actually try to make the argument that gun ownership is a God given right, it is not, it is given by the government. There have been too many tragedies because of these weapons, particularly in the hands of young, troubled (and psychotic) men.
I too, lost my father in 2004, at aged 91, and he served in WWII. Had considerable challenges coming from Ireland. How can you compare any of these things, to what happened to Noah and the other children? It is incomparable and appalling.
I am writing to the President and the legislators regularly and I believe if we take a stand, much like MADD, we can make a difference. It will take a lot of organization and persistance. In the name of Noah and the other children, we cannot afford not to do anything.

MC, my heart breaks for you and your family. We are the voices of these children whose lives were cut short but our relaxed gun laws, virtually no mental healthcare, and our schools not being protected, allowed a monster to cut their lives short. What happened in Newtown was the most horrible crime I have ever heard of because the target was little, innocent kids. We have to be heard! We have to make sure this never happens again! Otherwise Noah and all of the others have died in vain. Have you came across any online petitions? Or have you started one concerning any gun laws? I will march, i will stand, sign or do whatever i need to to ensure these kids are protected. Because I am a mother I WILL FIGHT FOR THOSE VOICES THAT CANNOT BE HEARD. I feel as if our kids in America are just sitting ducks waiting for the next psycho to hurt them. I am afraid to send my child to kundergarten bwcause there is a possibility that he may not come home from school. We need to rise up and make sure that it will next to impossible for a monster to get to our babies and we need to do it in honor of those children. Our family lost my nine year old sister four years ago, there is no grief more tragic than a child losing their life, they are just beginning it. I am thinking of and praying for you and your family each day. Hugs from Michigan.ReplyDeleteReplies

Dear MCReplyDelete
As a Canadian I appreciate your perspective completely I have never seen a gun, held a gun or wanted to. I can absolutely say with certainty that you do not need access to guns or the second amendment to live in a democratic society.
When I was in my 20s I dated a very nice man from the States and would have happily moved to live with him. Ultimately what ended us was his love for guns. I could not wrap my head around why anyone needed 20 guns and I certainly wasn't willing to live with them in my home.
When this tragedy happened I remember the media perpetually forwarding the assertion that it could have been worse as the assailant had so much ammunition. I was then and continue to be disgusted by this ignorant line of approach. I could be any worse for these 26 families.
Let's stop with the angel metaphors and looking for the glass half full. This glass is not only empty it is shattered. Our society is fast in its way to becoming morally bankrupt. It's time we stopped with the meaningless rhetoric and political dancing and call it bluntly as it is. Guns are weapons of destruction. Period.
I stand with you.
My most sincere kindness

I am so glad that Noah knew what it was to be well and truely loved. I am in awe of you and your daughter. You are in unimaginable pain but you are trying to make the world a safer place for my children. Wow! I can not think of a strong enough adjective to describe my admiration for you.

I agree I feel you can see the true soul of a person in photographs and when I look at Noah's little face in photos I see all that is pure and good in this world . When I saw photos of the person who did this I saw a soul that was disturbed and in termoil and most definitely troubled.. For me it makes the pain and anger compounded that either the people who loved him did not see this or were unable to act on it but they allowed him access to several weapons and violent video games to train him..(a great place to start in our fight would be to get a ban on call of duty and semi automatic guns ,then we can have room to work on family values and the mental health system ). We are all in in this fight together !!Delete
It's painful seeing how beautiful and happy this little boy Noah was, and how he was robbed too soon by a selfish individual who had serious issues and that should have been addressed a long time ago so that this could have been avoided. I agree with the ban on guns, I hope that happens so this doesn't happen again.

I just found this out, an artist on Staten Island just built this beautiful angel memorial in front of my old elementary school church. This amazing tribute is only a few blocks from where I live. Noah is the angel running and jumping with non-stop energy :)
A voice that can't be negated and a brave one at that. Keeping this issue alive and in the media is incredibly important...it is also incredibly important to your grieving process...facing up to this is like cutting yourself with a sharpened knife...deep and painful and terrifying but it heals more quickly and cleanly and you are left with a scar to remind you of your pain...a badge of courage for Noah and for all of those little children that died so that humanity could maintain its rage. I will continue reading your heartfelt posts...I will join you on your journey to recovery even though I can't even begin to fathom your pain. I owe it to Noah to bear witness to his short but beautiful life even though I am on the other side of the world. The world is watching you America...your soul and your collective conscience is on the line.ReplyDelete

Beautifully written....as always. I couldn't agree more. I'm sure people fighting for the guns have the good old mentality that it could never happen to them and their families.

Tired and hungry and waiting for a sign
In dust and time roads
We will meet at the end of many roads and questions
We will meet after many days,
After many nights
I know that you are getting closer now
The spring passed, the summer ended
And the rain is back

He came and collected few stars
and put them back one by one.
We are moving in two different roads…

I will repost this info.
A few years back the Center for Disease Control did a study in the wake of a series of school shootings and found that, despite the horrors of the school shootings, that children were 40 times safer in schools than out of them. They've revisited that study from time to time and the numbers come out pretty much (or perhaps ugly much) the same every time.ReplyDelete
Somehow, that was supposed to make us feel better.
Somehow, it doesn't.
It reminds me that we live in a violent society. And that our precious children and grand children are not safe.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Guns just make it easier. A lot easier. They take mistakes, like mistaken identity or one too many beers, and turn them into tragedies that can not be undone.
Right now, I'm watching the groups that are forming to curb gun violence. Once I have a feel for who has their head on straight, a good portion of my charitable donations will go in that direction for quite a while. Until it makes a difference. A real difference.
I've never understood our fascination with guns and violence. From music to movies - I don't get why we need to glorify such things. I believe in our Constitution and the rights it grants us, but I don't think the Founding Fathers ever envisioned assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips when they wrote the Second Amendment. They knew muskets and flintlocks - not machine guns and sniper rifles.ReplyDelete
I don't understand why we regulate what cars can be on our roads, or what medications you can buy OTC, or even how many dogs (and in some cases, what breeds) a person can own. But not one of our elected officials has the guts it takes to stand up to the NRA. Not. One.
What happened to Noah, to his friends, hit me as hard as it did because I think "He could have been my son." How can anyone - especially a parent - NOT think that? I don't get it. I just don't get it.
Many hugs to you and your family...

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. I completely agree with your words and have already forwarded my three page letter regarding gun violence and mental health to my elected officials. I pray that others have or will do the same. Our voices need to be heard. I still shed tears for all those whose lives were cut short by someone who had no business with access to weapons and had no reason to be at that elementary school. It breaks my heart and I truly hope our government will finally stand up to the NRA and say enough is enough. Stay strong and please know that I am praying for your family every night and hoping that some of your tears are turning to smiles when you think about Noah. He was a such a special little and loved little man.ReplyDelete

Dear MC,ReplyDelete
How is it possible that our grandfathers lived untill they 90 years old fighting in WW 2 and our kids are not safe in their own classroom! I live in US for 21 years and always been proud to be an American untill December 14, 2012. Something died inside me that day and I will never be able to say again that I am a proud citizen of this country. As citizens of this country we do allow all these lunatics to go and kill our little kids! And what do we do about it? I see how we (parents) still send our kids to public schools and pray that nothing happens to our kids because it is still as easy to get to school as it was prior to December 14, 2012. When I contacted my 6 year old boy school about any changes to the security I was told:" We still require photo ID for every visitor and then school pass would be issued. The process is tigher than before" I always ask myself and also asked the school officials how showing their ID would stop the crime? Response I got: " we are all in the same boat" It means that as a parent I should sit and pray that my boy's school won't a be a target next time because I have no other option but to send my baby to public school. Dear MC I have read an article today that White House wants to hear Noah's family about gun control and would like to ask you to bring school safery concern to the discussion table as well. Thank you so much for everything you do to ease our pain and sorrow even though it should have been other way around. With love, Irina
Well said MC.ReplyDelete
No further harm will come to them again, that is the only reassurance I can get from this. It disturbs me no end what happened to them and I doubt I will ever forget it, I wouldn't want to forget these little innocent little angels. It's heartbreaking, utterly heartbreaking.

It is said he brought the « power of the imagination to Europe ». Mainly thanks to his illustrations… Gustave Doré has illuminated a big part of the 19th century with black, verve and humour! Discover the « Doré » way of life thanks to the beautiful exhibition the Musée d'Orsay dedicated to him until June 5.
It is true that the Musée d'Orsay is a cult place for all those who love 19th century art in Paris. The former train station revisited as a museum was the ideal place to present this big exhibition about Gustave Doré (1832-1883), mainly celebrated for his incredible etchings of the works of Dante, Rabelais, Hugo or Balzac.
Original or imaginary. This time, in stead of just stopping at the illustrations that may have made the French artist famous, the exhibition meticulously reveals all the other sides of his work and his talents. From drawing to painting, from watercolour to sculpture. Often original or imaginary, the inspiration of Doré is expressed in all ranges of emotion!

RUTLAND — High-tech modern equipment at large dairy farms can't be operated without enough electricity. But farmers often can't afford to upgrade their electrical service to provide three-phase power — a predicament that sometimes stops them from expanding operations to boost milk production.
But when the three partners at Milk Street dairy farm in Rutland decided to expand in 2011, they found out National Grid was willing to provide a $50,000 grant from its 3-Phase Power Incentive Program. That financial assistance from the utility helped the farm to finish a $2 million expansion project last year. Five new buildings were erected on the farm at 17272 County Road 161, including a free-stall dairy barn that will allow the farm to nearly triple its herd.
The move nearly tripled milk production at the farm, where co-owner John Ferry and officials from National Grid hosted a press conference Wednesday touting the project. The conference was held inside a high-tech milking parlor, in which Mr. Ferry said workers can milk 200 cows per hour.
"Single-phase equipment couldn't power this facility," Mr. Ferry said. "It feels good when you take risks on investments like this and see them pay off."
The parlor will support the addition of 800 more cows over the next two years, he said, which will expand the herd size to 1,600. Mr. Ferry and two partners at Milk Street, Michael W. Hill and Michael Griep, will have invested about $10 million when the multiyear project is finished in 2015. The farm plans to nearly double its staff by that time, adding about 15 workers to its current 19.
Milk Street is the third farm in Jefferson County that National Grid has assisted, customer manager Gerald J. Haenlin said. North Harbor Dairy in Sackets Harbor and Woods Farm in Cape Vincent also have secured grants from the energy provider in recent years.
"We created this grant program because farms and businesses in rural areas needed three-phase power to grow," Mr. Haenlin said.
Jefferson County agricultural coordinator Jay M. Matteson said acquiring three-phase power is a common hurdle that prevents dairy farmers from expanding at a time when milk is in high demand statewide. By addressing that need, he said, the energy company's program highlights the fundamental role agriculture plays as an economic backbone.
A study from Penn State University estimated that on average, one cow generates an economic impact of about $13,737 per year. When multiplied by 800 cows, that figure translates into an impact of nearly $11 million.
"That's the total impact of the milk generated on this farm, to the cheese that's packaged and sold in stores," Mr. Matteson said. "What other industry here, besides government, has that kind of economic impact in our region?"
On a practical note, the expansion at the farm will mean milk tankers will haul away more milk each day. Right now, one 7,000-gallon load of milk leaves the farm each day. But "by the end of this year, we should be at three loads every two days," Mr. Ferry said.
Following the press conference, Mr. Ferry gave local reporters a tour of the new 73,200-square-foot barn. Screened walls that span the length of the barn allow air to flow freely, and large fans to be installed this summer will keep the barn cool. The triangular ceiling, which peaks at a height of 50 feet, enables warm air produced by cattle to be pushed out of a gap in the roof. Mr. Ferry said the large, high-tech design is an uncommon sight at farms in the north country.
The enormous barn "makes the farm easier to manage, because the cows can eat and be milked at the same time," he said.

SEARSPORT, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The debate over whether a proposed propane tank should be allowed in the town of Searsport has been going on for months. Saturday afternoon many opponents of that tank circled up to make their point that the tank is too big for their small town.
The propane tank that is being proposed by the Denver based company DCP Midstream, will be decided on in just a couple weeks. Today opponents of that tank gathered in Searport's Mosman Park to form a human circle equivalent to the size of the tanks footprint, a 202-foot diameter.
"It's a gathering to show solidarity. To give, especially the people of Searsport, an opportunity to witness how big this tank actually is," said one of the event's organizers Peter Wilkinson.
More than a hundred people showed up to help form the circle, many of them sharing the same feelings. Judy Staples has attended all of the public hearings that have been held to discuss the proposed tank and is hopeful DCP's application will be denied.
"I don't think it's the direction that Searsport needs to go. I don't think it will offer jobs that people are expecting," said Staples.
According to DCP Midstream spokesperson, Roz Elliot, her company has gone through all the necessary precautions to make sure the tank meets all state and federal environmental regulations.
"This has gone through a very extensive regulatory process at both the federal and state level and certainly environment and safety and waterways and all that were very thoroughly reviewed," said Elliot.
The final round of public hearings for the tank project are scheduled for January 16, 17 and 18 at the Searsport Middle School starting at 6PM.

The 44-year-old sported a teal bandage dress which hugged her figure in all of the right places. Clearly, gravity is no match for Judd's daily workout routine.
The actress and her ex-husband, three-time Indianapolis 500 Champ Dario Franchitti, ended their 11 year marriage January 30. They say looking good is the best revenge, right? Get it, girl.
The brunette beauty isn't the only celeb who's a fan of bandage dresses -- click "Launch Gallery" below to see even more stars sport the famous curve-hugging couture!

THE POINT BLANK POWER 25The most influential people in Islanders Country
Islanders Point Blank on Twitter
Entertainment Weekly does it for Hollywood, so it's time we looked at the most powerful people on Wang Island. Use the Comments section to share your personal write-in candidates or start arguments. It's not a perfect list. I'm sure I left worthy people out. I approached it like the Hall of Fame: if I had to think about it long, you didn't make it. No offense intended. Let's begin.
25. Billy Jaffe, MSG Plus color commentator: Emerging as one of the best analysts in the league, Jaffe gets his points across and they often foreshadow team decisions.
24. Eric Cairns & Sudarshan Maharaj, Development Assistant and goaltending consultant: By the across-the-board raves from the many prospects that improved over the last year, it's clear Cairns' impact has been felt. Maharaj was sent to Finland to scout Mikko Koskinen and rubber-stamped his drafting. Now he's responsible for the goalie's Islanders career.
23. Michael Bair, President of MSG Media: Runs the division with the people who run the Islanders' telecasts, decide what they will look like and determine which channel they will be on.
22. Ken Morrow, Director of Pro Scouting: With free agency starting at 26, the dynasty defenseman has a more important role than ever. His team needs another Mark Streit-calibre recommendation next summer.
21. Rick DiPietro, goaltender: His influence on management is mythical and his potential for impact is not what it was, at least for now. Nevertheless, when you are a U.S. Olympian, All-Star and No. 1 goaltender with a few years left on a long-term deal, your attempted comeback is noteworthy.
20. NYI Fans and Bloggers on the Internet, true Orange-and-Blue: You better believe it, folks. Between Islandermania, Islanders Country, HF boards, the comments section on Newsday.com, the Blog Box, Puck Daddy, SB Nation, this thing and (just about) everywhere else on Al Gore's Internets, never, ever underestimate your voice. Even when they pretend not to, the Islanders are reading and listening.
19. Kyle Okposo, top prospect: His complete development is vital to the Islanders' rebuild.
18. Islanders Alumni, Long Island heroes: When men like Bob Nystrom and Clark Gillies have something to say, you listen. They earned this respect not just with Cup rings, but with their genuine interest in the health of the franchise more than two decades after they last wore the uniform.
17. Bryan Trottier & Mike Bossy, legends-in-residence: Trottier is in player development while Bossy develops corporate relationships for the franchise. These are usually the kind of jobs where Hall of Famers mail it in, kiss babies and collect a paycheck on their names. Not these two.
16. Hank Winnicki, Newsday sports editor: Being top dog in Sports at Long Island's newspaper means Winnicki gets the ultimate call on how much coverage the Islanders get in the print edition and on the web. He also decides the back cover, who writes when and how much. Now more than ever – with the Islanders still a one-paper beat in the Tavares era – this makes Winnicki a very powerful person.
15. Jack Capuano, Bridgeport head coach: When you are in a youth movement, the head coach of your American Hockey League affiliate is almost as important as the NHL guy. Capuano is responsible this season for Jesse Joensuu, Robin Figren, Trevor Smith, Mark Katic, Justin DiBenedetto and Mikko Koskinen, among many others.
14. Doug Weight, mentor and power play point: Had breakfast with Tavares and just happened to run into Matt Duchene on the golf course. If management thinks enough of Weight to set that up, he's obviously more than just a 38-year old center entering his second year with the team.
13. Howard Saffan, Sound Tigers President: Besides running the AHL franchise, Saffan is also responsible for the renaissance of Islanders Iceworks. Word has it he has spent a lot of time in the Islanders' sales office this summer.
12. Mark Streit, defenseman: The man who should be the next captain.
11. Kate Murray, Town of Hempstead Supervisor: Strictly a coincidence, but Murray started acting more like a true community leader when her candidate for this November's election was announced. (Funny thing: we haven't heard from Kristen McElroy since). Murray is the gatekeeper to the Lighthouse's plan for mega-development in Hempstead. She's powerful, all right. Tell her what you think on August 4.
10. Islanders Sponsors and Season Subscribers, stakeholders: If you are financially and emotionally committed for 41 games of Long Island's only major professional sports franchise, the Islanders will always be interested in what you have to say. This is power you should not take lightly.
9. Ryan Jankowski, Assistant GM/Director of Amateur Scouting: When it comes to the draft, it is all on Jankowski. His work can be judged in a few years on Bailey, de Haan, Ness, Trivino, Hamonic, Petrov, Ullstrom, Martin, Katic, Donovan, Poulin, DiBenedetto, Cizikas and taking two goalies last month.
8. Chris Dey, President: Building a fan base while the team is in a rebuild and the fate of the franchise is up in the air is quite a challenge. Not sure what anyone could have done last season with a team out of it before Christmas. This year should determine whether Dey's innovative Islanders Business Club moves the mountain of tapping essential corporate support for the franchise.
7. Scott Gordon, head coach: Time will tell if Gordon is the table-setter, like Glen Hanlon was in Washington, or if he has the ability to see the rebuild from beginning to end. Talented, diligent, creative, smart, stubborn.
6. Gary Bettman, NHL commissioner: An easy target at times, but in the final analysis he's done his part to keep the team where it is. After the arena stuff gets sorted out, owes the Islanders one last thing: participation in an outdoor game.
5. Scott Rechler, Lighthouse co-developer: His name is not in the Islanders' directory (for now), but as Charles Wang's partner on the Lighthouse Project, Rechler has a huge chunk of the franchise's future in his hands.
4. Tom Suozzi, Nassau County Executive: The Lighthouse Project – or as Suozzi insisted I call it years ago, the "Coliseum Project" – is almost as much his as Wang's and Rechler's. It's on The Suozz to see it through.
3. John Tavares, No. 1 pick: No pressure, kid.
2. Garth Snow, General Manager: As much as this year is about the Lighthouse, ultimately Snow must build a contending hockey team. He has the complete support of ownership, so he's getting plenty of time to get it done.
1. Charles Wang, owner: The Man. Whether or not you agree with my contention that the team wouldn't be here any more without him, there's no question that everything about the Islanders starts at the top.

Product Details
Chevy Silverado 2001, Evolution CS / CTS Programmer by Edge®. Providing the ultimate level of vehicle instrumentation along with 4 levels of performance enhancement, the compact CS and wide-screen CTS programmers plug in to any OBD II compatible vehicle port. Fault codes and check engine lights can be diagnosed and cleared. A variety of add-on cables and sensors are available to install to provide any temperature or pressure readings your vehicle's ECU does not.
Notes: Not legal for sale or use in California.
- Offers performance-enhancing software revisions designed specifically for fuel economy, towing, semi-aggressive performance, and aggressive performance
- CS features compact size, manual control buttons on left and 2.4-inch color screen
- CTS features full width 4.3-inch color for display and touch-screen controls

- Add-on cables and sensors are available for monitoring of turbo boost pressure, gas temperatures, and fluid temperatures if your vehicle is not equipped to read them
- Provides detailed diagnostics and clearing of all check engine light faults and real-time monitoring of trouble codes
- Offers a "Track measuring" function which automatically records speeds and times for quarter-mile and zero-to-sixty runs
- Hooks up to the internet via your computer to download software updates, new features, and custom designs for instrumentation display
- Insight CTS has video input jack for use with separate backup camera, dvd player, camcorder, or any video input
- With Turbo Timer kit, will automatically keep engine running until temperatures cool down after driving to avoid premature turbo wear and failure
- Mounts to driver's side of windshield with necessary suction cups included

- 1-year manufacturer warranty
- Proudly manufactured in the United States
If you want a high level of engine gauge readouts along with diagnostic capacity AND the ability to reprogram factory performance settings, the Evolution CS and CTS offer everything you could wish for in a tuner. Whether you choose the compact CS with manual control buttons and 2.4-inch color screen or the CTS with full width 4.3-inch color touch screen, the days of using cumbersome and expensive analog gauges for custom read outs are over. These hand-held units plug into the diagnostic port of any OBD-II compatible vehicle to provide you with a staggering array of information your ECU tracks but may not display. For example, battery voltage, engine speed, coolant temperature, fuel pressure readings, air intake temperature, transmission temperature as well as all other standard instrumentation are available with the touch of a button. If your vehicle's main computer is not originally designed to provide all the information you want, additional cables and input jacks are available that can be installed anywhere you choose for read boost pressure, any fluid temperature, air temperature, and more (see Product Options). Instrumentation of your choice can be displayed on either CS or CTS screen via three analog gauges, or by digital readouts accordingly sized to fit anywhere from 2 to 8 readouts of your choice. The CS and CTS hook up to the internet through your computer to download custom instrumentation designs, new software updates, or any features that become available in the future.
When you want to get the most out of your vehicle's natural abilities without putting undo stress on powertrain or running gear, the Evolution CS and CTS deliver. Four levels of software remapping enhancements are available. Level 1 for Fuel Economy adjusts throttle response, engine timing, transmission shift points, and fuel delivery to deliver higher-than-factory mpg levels. Using this setting for daily driving will probably save you enough money to pay for this controller many times over. Level 2 is for Towing, and adjusts parameters to provide power where it is needed most to move a load without overstressing the transmission with excess power. Level 3 is Performance, and brings semi-aggressive levels of tuning to extract substantial power from your vehicle without sacrificing drivability or durability. Level 4 is Extreme, and applies full aggressive levels of tuning for the highest level of performance possible without excess stress on vehicle powertrain components. CS and CTS tuners for gasoline models also feature an Automatic Transmission Only setting, which brings faster and firmer shifts to help extend the life of the transmission.
If you want scientific readouts of zero-to-sixty and quarter mile speeds and times the way car magazines obtain them, Evolution CS and CTS units offer that feature. After red, yellow, and green colors flash on the screen racetrack style, the monitor begins recording all speed and distance information directly from your vehicle - then provides it in a timed graph readout when the run is over. And if you have any pre-existing check engine conditions, your programmer will tell you what fault codes triggered your warning light, record them, then clear all problem codes if you choose. This provides you with dealership knowledge without the time and money a trip to the dealer costs. A built-in video input jack on the Insight CTS allows the monitor to serve as a backup monitor when any additional camera is installed, or as a DVD player.356.25

text: Four team mates in their hand-made boat rejoice as they reach the end of their 25-yard voyage across the Price indoor pool Tuesday. They and other students at Lighthouse High School were taking part in the float-a-boat exercise. Teachers Roger Swasey and Wes Thompson established some rules for their classes that are easy to understand but difficult to achieve. First, construction materials are limited to cardboard and duct tape. Second, they had to calculate where the water line on their boats would be when all crew members were aboard. Third, they would be timed on how long it took them to travel the length of the pool. The project involved learning about the Archimedes principle of weight and water displacement, using concepts of mass and volume, and boat construction. Thompson said that aside from applied math and science, students also had to work as teams to get the job done. Designs ranged from canoes to catamarans to barges. Not all the boats made it to the finish line. A few folded and sank while they were being boarded at the deep end, another made it halfway before capsizing, and - in a real heart-breaker - one went down with all hands just three or four feet from landfall. Note that all crew members are observing boating safety and wearing life vests.

Reviewer: Charles Wood, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: October 19, 2005
Presenter: R. Timmerman
Presenter's Affiliation: UT-Southwestern Medical Center
Type of Session: Scientific
Patients with medically inoperable stage I non-small cell lung cancer are potentially amenable to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), as therapeutic options in this population are limited, and local tumor control alone may lead to cure. This phase II trial follows a phase I dose escalation protocol in the same patient population.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The phase II trial builds on a phase I dose escalation protocol for stereotactic radiation treatment of early lung tumors. Within a relatively short follow-up period, local control results are encouraging, though tempered by significant toxicity in a minority (up to 20%) of patients. As noted by the authors, the toxicity profile is not terribly surprising given the frailty of a medically inoperable patient population at baseline. Further study of this novel technique with a focus on reducing toxicity is certainly warranted.

Senator Ericksen Displays His ColorsPermalink +
Fri, Feb 22, 2013, 4:01 pm // John Servais
Riley Sweeney has posted a great one minute video clip of our State Senator Doug Ericksen showing his casual disregard for rules of procedure. Political insiders and political junkies have long known Ericksen to be this way on a daily basis. But he saves his worst for when no one else is around or there are no cameras. This time he is caught. Riley has provided us with a glimpse of the real Ericksen.
I first met Doug about 20 years ago when he was an intern to then State Senator Ann Anderson - another one who did not believe in playinng by the rules nor respecting the truth. Doug learned the ropes from her. If only more voters could see how Ericksen really operates. Ahh well.
Riley also has a couple good paragraphs explaining the context of the video. We tip our hat to the Political Junkie for this Friday afternoon treat. What is not so nice is the bill that Ericksen killed was one aimed at infant safety. Read Riley's post.

Review by Scotland Outdoors, added 28/10/2013: a great ideaI wouldn't normally drop my camera in a bath of water, but for the benefit of this blog I did so. I opened the robust looking seal of the case, popped in my camera and then resealed it. It is as easy as that.
It was then a little nerve-wracking as I pushed the case and camera under the water's surface and held it there. But it didn't leak. When I let go, the case bobbed back to the surface and floated around.
Before trying to take a photograph I checked the inside of the camera case to ensure there had been no leaks. There wasn't a single tiny droplet of water inside, thank goodness.
Next test was outdoors in the rain. There has been a lot of rain lately – during numerous runs, cycles and walks – so I have had plenty of time to ensure the camera case will keep my camera dry. It worked very well. I didn't have a problem with condensation but if I did I could always pop in a desiccant sachet...
It's obviously not as simple as holding the camera itself in your hand but despite being covered by plastic, I was still able to operate the camera buttons. If you have a touch screen camera, it's possible to operate the screen through the plastic with your fingertips.
The photographs taken through the lens of the case also come out very clearly. I was surprised by this but it seems that the plastic lens front on the camera case causes no hindrance to great quality pics.
For extreme conditions, such as heavy rain, or when you are sea kayaking, on the beach or close to any form of water and want to protect your camera, the Aquapac camera case is a great idea.

Mind = Blown: Uncanny, Unrelated Look-Alikes Photographed by Canadian Artist (PHOTOS)Meredith Carroll
If you've ever wondered if everyone, indeed, has a twin somewhere out there, the work of François Brunelle just might convince you that the answer is a resounding yes.
Since 1999, the Québec-based photographer has been taking unrelated people from North America and Europe who look like twins, or at least close family members, into the studio and creating portraits that reveal just how much non-blood related people can appear to be family by birth.
I'm not a look-alike! is a project of 200 portraits of doppelgangers taken around the world.The subjects are dressed similarly, their hair is often styled in the same fashion, and their poses are about as uncomfortable as any taken in a Sears portrait studio — all of which contributes to the similarities caught on film. But take a closer look, and that's what makes the photos even more uncanny.
Here are some of Brunelle's fascinating unrelated look-alike portraits:

K.I.S.S. Turkey

Chef John, you seriously make my day with your recipes :) thank you so much!

- Susanne said...
Oh, Chef John, you're killing me. All those side dishes and now a turkey. I wish the Germans would celebrate Thanksgiving the way Americans do it!!!
- November 23, 2011 at 5:02 AM
Chef John do you prefer this turkey or the turkey from "Turkey Part One:"? Oh and thank you for all you thanksgiving help, I feel very confident to cook by myself this year.
- November 23, 2011 at 5:10 AM
I can't believe that you didn't roast the tail!
- November 23, 2011 at 5:36 AM
*Ahem* a "couple" tbls of butter ? ;)
Looks delish though!
- November 23, 2011 at 9:54 AM
Hi Chef John,
In your other Turkey prep video you stated to put tin foil on the breast for the first few hours so the top doesn't get burnt/dries out. Was wondering why you didn't do that here?
Thanks much! Have a great Thanksgiving!!
3 year dedicated Chef John Fan
- November 23, 2011 at 10:24 AM
I saw that Alton Brown suggests roasting the turkey for 30 minutes at 500F initially, and then lowering the temp to 350F and cooking it the rest of the way with the breast covered. He says that it makes for less cooking time and thus more moisture stays in the meat. Do you agree? Is low and slow the way to go?
- November 23, 2011 at 10:51 AM
- Discovery said...
I wasn't going to do a Turkey this year, since it's just me and my boyfriend. But, after watching this video, I really want to do one. Thanks Chef!
- November 23, 2011 at 11:21 AM
- Sembazuru said...
Nice and simple. Definitely K.I.S.S. :-)
One question (well request for advice). With the drippings to add to gravy (or to convert your "gravy" to an actual gravy...) what would you suggest to do with the veggies? My first instinct would be to hit the drippings with an immersion blender and purify all those yummy veggies.
Your thoughts? (Yes, I know there is no _one_ way. I'm just asking for some advice from your pallet and experience.)
- November 23, 2011 at 12:05 PM
- Chef John said...
I prefer the older recipe, because the butter under the skin adds flavor.
I've not tried Alton's method, but I'm sure it's fine.
I want to be sure everyone realizes this post was not supposed to be the ultimate, best tasting method...it was simply to prove point and give beginners confidence.
- November 23, 2011 at 12:24 PM
Less is more chef…that's what my wife tells me; I'm not sure why, anyway, turkey looks great! Once or twice a year and this is one of those times, I pull the Mauviel's off the rack (because their Mauviel's), and get cooking. Brine, compound butter etc…I don't know why; I always get a fantastic result everyway and your bird resting on the mirepoix looks good to me. I use your compound butter recipe and short stock recipe which is in the works now. Anywho; I've been with your site since the beginning, always entertaining! Take care Chef, I was going to write Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless to you and yours, but I'm not sure if that's still legal, so I won't
- November 23, 2011 at 12:48 PM
As usual, this recipe looks wonderful and easy!
Just wondering about rinsing the turkey though. Seems to me that I read somewhere recently that rinsing poultry is not necessary; that, in fact, it can spread bacteria over a wide radius of your kitchen, if you're not super careful. I've never done it, and it's always been fine.
Thanks again for a great video, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
- November 23, 2011 at 1:22 PM
- Stelio said...
Hello there Chef John!! From what I've seen in a number of videos, you guys in the States do not stuff the Turkey, you cook it hollow. While we here in Greece actually stuff the turkey with a bunch of dry fruits, chestnuts, pine nuts etc. What is your idea on that. Does the turkey come out nicer with or without the stuffing. We have never cooked one empty. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
- November 23, 2011 at 1:30 PM
- Chris K. said...
I think the real secret to roasting turkey is selecting the right size bird. Those 24-pound mutant monstrosities look impressive, but they just don't roast evenly in a typical home oven. You're better off buying two smaller birds and roasting them side by side.
This has the added benefit of more drippings, which means more gravy. Who doesn't want more gravy?
- November 23, 2011 at 4:06 PM
- Rita said...
@Susanne - amen to that! then again, this is our tradition so i can't really complain on how the Deutsch celebrates it... if they even do.
- November 24, 2011 at 6:06 AM
- Bobby said...
Hey Chef John,
Long time reader, first time commenting. I JUST put the turkey using this recipe in the oven. I'm TOTALLY BLAMING YOU if it doesn't come out right. Even though I'm probably going to be taking most of that blame if we're stuck around the table with a few pizzas. Just kidding! I trust your experience. I'll be back once it's out of the oven. Sending you a picture once it's done!
- November 24, 2011 at 7:27 AM
Hey, my turkey didn't come with a neck. What if I just chop off these useless wings and boil them to make a stock for the gravy?
- November 24, 2011 at 8:28 PM
- China said...
Thank you soooo much my first Turkey cane out soooo good that all they left was the bones!!!!
- December 1, 2011 at 10:21 AM
- Margaret said...
mmmm....that's all I have to say...looks delicious!
- December 6, 2011 at 8:28 PM
Dear Chef John,
I was just wondering if the seasoning salt was equal parts salt,pepper and cayenne? This is my first time making the turkey so I'm a bit nervous!
- December 22, 2011 at 6:48 PM
- Chef John said...
Relax! :) it may have been equal salt and pepper but maybe only 5 % cayenne.
- December 22, 2011 at 7:01 PM
- Unknown said...
Chef John,
Well unfortunately i couldn't find a turkey :(, but i used the same setup with a whole chicken and it turned out amazing. the herb butter made the chicken skin absolutley crispy as needed. Thanks for your recipe, definitely will be using it again!
- June 2, 2012 at 10:56 PM
- Wesley Barwick said...
I used the recipe on a chicken instead of a turkey and it was amazing. The sage and rosemary were more flavorable than I had imagined. Thanks for the recipe and I will definitely be using more recipes in the future.
- June 2, 2012 at 11:01 PM
Heh heh heh. Outside cavities. I love it.
Beautiful job on the bird.
I appreciate seeing chefs take a moment of their time to make sure newbies feel confident. Very nice.
- November 5, 2012 at 11:43 PM
- Scion said...
I'm cooking a turkey with this method right now. I peeked. Looks just awesome! Aroma is making me so dang hungry! I did brine it overnite, tho'.
Excellent, Jon!
- June 29, 2013 at 12:42 PM
- Scion said...
I cooked a 14lb bird and the 'formula' was off a bit - 4 hrs was too long, skin got too crisp (but meat was fine) - for my oven 3.5 hours would be right. Btw, those pan drippings mixed with the vegetables was really tasty. Gravy was wonderful.
- June 30, 2013 at 9:24 AM
- yellie said...
Hey Chef John can I cut the wings off my turkey and use them for my gravy or is that a bad idea? Thanks
- November 10, 2013 at 10:10 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes! I do that all the time.
- November 10, 2013 at 10:38 PM
- Catastrophe Waitress said...
I just put my very first turkey in the oven, Chef John style! Thank you for your help! Off to watch the gravy video...
- November 22, 2013 at 1:34 PM
- Just a Crazy Woman said...
WHOOOHOOO!!!!! Thanks to YOU I cooked my first turkey and it turned out PERFECT!! I made it just like you said. I wish you knew how incredible this is. Now, it was quite gross dealing with it before cooking and the carving wasn't fun... but it tastes fantastic!
- November 30, 2013 at 5:45 PM
- jarredAwesome said...
This video was kind of a let down. It looked really good, but I was expecting white and black face paint.
- January 22, 2015 at 6:32 PM
- Birgit said...
I was one of those nervous first timers cooking a full size turkey last Thanksgiving. Ever since finding this blog, I have cooked a full size turkey three more times! My husband can't get over how juicy the turkey is. I can't get over how simple it is to make it. Thank you!
