May 19, 201121st Annual Riverview Jr. High Dutch Oven Cookoff

Guy Perkins checking in.
Ok, yeah I like to fish. Love it in fact. But this year the water has been pretty ugly. Even the reservoirs are dirty. Not to mention the fact that the over abundance of snow has kept me out of hunting turkey in the high country that I like to do so much. I think I like just being up there, and alone. And it is a good excuse for exercising the ticker. Last week I
May 16, 2011Warmed From the Inside Out
There's nothing more that I look forward to than spending time outdoors with my family in the hills and on the lakes and rivers of western Montana. I can still remember clearly times from my own childhood exploring creeks and backyards with my younger brother, and I can only hope that my daughter will inherit the same sense of adventure I had.

May is the last month of the school year for many Southern states, and one where we see great numbers of children actively commuting to and from school. Maybe there are so many people walking and bicycling because the weather is so nice, or maybe because teachers and parents want an outlet to that pre-summer energy the kids seem to have bundled inside them! Regardless, walking and bicycling to school are great ways to enjoy the outdoors in our Southern state as well as get some much needed physical activity.
With spring new leadership emerges within the Safe Routes to School National Partnership (National Partnership) Florida Network. However, to some this "newness" may be a bit familiar.
Of 52 documented Complete Streets policies in Florida, more than 20 were passed in 2012-2013. Florida network members were instrumental in the success of many of these policies. Some of these have been highlighted on the Safe Routes to School Florida network webinar and put on the National Partnership website as blogs.
Every child deserves the opportunity to get themselves to and from school. Besides being able to chase frogs or play with their friends, there are many benefits to being able to have that activity in their day.
Florida has had great success with Safe Routes to School under SAFETEA-LU, with more than 235 applications ($68.8 million) being funded. The average Safe Routes to School project funded was $292,766. There has been a call for infrastructure applications each fall through spring. Spring 2012 ended the 6th call for projects. These projects will be in the 2017 work program. The average return on these projects was an increase of 22 percent of children walking to and from school. The program works!
We frequently hear about successful programs getting more youth bicycling and walking to school. But behind those programs are one or more dedicated people, often teachers that make it happen. Pat Davidson is one of them.
The Safe Routes to School National Partnership's state network project is working to get more Complete Streets policies and improve current ones. As we do this, we learned about several jurisdictions in Florida that have taken their own initiative and are doing just that. We will continue to work hard to make sure this trend continues in our network states!
The Florida Safe Routes to School program is lucky to have Sarita Taylor. While she may be new to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Safety Office in Tallahassee, she is not new to Safe Routes to School. She brings an impressive history from FDOT District 1.
While all states have a SRTS coordinator, few, if any, have been at it as long as Pat Pieratte with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). She just retired after 35 years with the department, serving six years as the SRTS coordinator. Before she left to go folk dancing in Croatia and Slovenia, there was a gathering to talk about her successes and wish her well.
After growing up playing on the school playground, I was dismayed to start seeing fences and locked gates at schools. The whole community feeling changed to a prison atmosphere, but to keep people out. John O.
Hi, welcome to my blog.
Safe Routes to School has been a special interest of mine since raising five children and helping them get to and from school. Many of the direct routes to school were unsafe, so they found backstreets to ride their bicycles, but in upper grades I worried about them having to cross a major highway. It became apparent that the roads were only designed for motor vehicles.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- With six thousand runners and more than ten thousand spectators, the TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10k is one of the largest annual sporting events in the state.
"We are very fortunate with the communities around us that will send their officers over to help," stated Cape Elizabeth Police Chief Neil Williams. "this is one of the largest-scale events that we have in this community, just in sheer number of people - runners and spectators."
With just thirteen sworn officers, including Williams, the department couldn't handle all the traffic and security for this race alone.
"It is a big event and they would be hard pressed to do it all by themselves," agreed Scarborough Police Chief Robert Moulton.
With the Boston Marathon bombings still fresh in their hearts and on their minds, officers from neighboring Scarborough have stepped up to make sure the race is run without a hitch. Chief Moulton says twenty-five of his officers have volunteered their time to help out.
Scarborough has thirty-six officers. Chief Moulton says even more officers would have volunteered if they didn't already have to work.
"What I am proudest of is that the guys are willing to step up and do that," he said.
Most years just seven Scarborough officers are needed to help out at the race, and they are paid by the race organizers for their effort. This year that money will be donated to help the bombing victims.
"These guys are human and often times they (the public) see these guys in an enforcement type role and they don't see the compassionate side of it," he explained.
It may not be a lot of money, roughly $1500 dollars, but it's a gesture that means a lot to Chief Williams.
"For them to do this and for them to volunteer their time I think is very, very commendable," he said.
In light of the tragedy in Boston, he says they will be taking extra precautions this year, but he doesn't want runners or the people who come to cheer them on to be thinking about that.
"We are going to go out, we are going to have our events, we are going to be out there in public and we are going to enjoy ourselves," he said.

Read: Henrik Lundqvist Would Be A HUGE Boost To Swedish Hockey
In Hockey Sverige, Uffe Bodin writes that that the only NHL player who would have a dramatic impact on attendance in SEL games would be Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
Bodin writes that Lundqvist would give a big boost to hockey in Gothenberg, where he played before coming to the Rangers, and that the life Lundqvist leads in New York has led to an aura and mystery about the Rangers goalie.
In addition to being the world's best goalkeeper, he has what so many other talented players lack to become attractive on a plane beyond the pure hockey terms – charisma, looks, charm, and not least the brand. The glamorous life in New York with fashion shows, celebrity parties, restaurant openings … Yes, everything apart from that infantile shampoo commercials have created an aura of mystery around "Henke" that appeals to many Swedes.

Every year a few of our favorite indie darlings (and their biz-minded entourage) bundle themselves in their winter best and board a ninety-minute flight to attend a chilly but chic week of screenings, gifting suites, and ski-in, ski-out escapades at the Sundance Film Festival. During the film frenzy, the otherwise laid-back locale of Park City, Utah transforms into an uber posh celebrity stomping ground, complete with a calendar of events that can make even a Weinstein dizzy. Between taking in the top titles like Blue Valentine with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, watching James Franco make a literary-inspired turn in Howl, or rocking out to Joan Jett in honor of The Runaways, Sundance attendees had to be outfitted for a myriad of invites while their agents rolled calls. Fortunately, while Lionsgate and Fox Searchlight were busy having it out over the Ryan Reynolds toplined thriller Buried, we were easily able to rely on our favorite trendsetters to start the sartorial bidding wars with their fashion-forward cold-weather looks.

You may remember this Australian beauty from her heart-wrenching role as a gymnast on HBO's In Treatment, or maybe she's a completely fresh face to you; either way, her down-under style is high on our radar and not to be overlooked! Wasikowska's tomboyish pairing of vintage evening shorts and pilgrim buckle shoes is a uniquely chic choice for running between screenings, and we love how her black anorak offers a hint of outdoorsy spirit that's perfectly appropriate for this mountain clime. Additionally, her sartorial fearlessness to pair burgundy shorts with a red sweaterÂ--and a hint of a boater teeÂ--reminds that not only are we excited for her big-screen debut as Alice in Timothy Burton's Alice in Wonderland, we are thrilled to continue to track her singular style! Get a head start by working in a few key Wasikowska-inspired pieces to your existing wardrobe, like a cozy scarf and some evening shorts. We recommend Chan Luu's Luxurious Cashmere Silk Scarf ($195), and St. John's Belted Shorts ($295)Â--a posh pair that pays homage to Wasikowska's unique color palette.
Kate Mara
While Myriad may have just acquired Josh Radnor's HappyThankYouMorePlease, we, dear readers, have collected some cold-weather clothing tips courtesy of one of the film's stylesetting stars: Kate Mara. The former GOTM appeared winter-ready at the film's debut when she opted for a cozy denim-based ensemble. Her Theory Tolla Leather Jacket ($500) is a nod to one of our favorite outerwear stylesÂ--the bomber jacketÂ--while her Belstaff Buckle Boots ($502) give off a vintage vibe that makes them the ideal indie-festival footwear. An added nice surprise are Mara's bottoms which are Forever 21's Classical Blue Jeans ($34.80) Â--a welcomed, democratic choice of denim! Noting her thrifty choice of blue jeans, we like how she mastered the art of mixing high-street finds with investments piece by opting for a mustard, crocheted Missoni beret.
Michelle Williams
Although Michelle Williams played opposite Ryan Gosling as one half of an unraveling marriage in Blue Valentine, her chosen ensemble for the film's premiere was perfectly pulled together and fashionable to boot. Her boy-meets-girl combo of a winter floral dress and gold-buttoned blazer offers a chic contrast, proving that masculine-feminine relationships can workÂ--and are attainable! Williams' Silence & Noise Strapless Zip Dress ($40) is very wallet-friendly, and can be almost identically styled by adding Bop Basics' Girlfriend Jacket ($182) and a pair of back-zip Malted Barley Boots ($378) from Anthropologie.
Casey LaBow
Casey LaBow attended this year's festival with a turn in Anthony Burns' nostalgic coming-of-age pic, Skateland. Although the film was set in the 1980s, LaBow's style, while noting a vintage influence, is clearly cutting edge. Her nearly all-denim look composed of an H&M Shirt ($34.95), Alexander Wang Mini Pocket Muscle T-shirt ($78) and Ksubi Super Skinny Zip Jeans ($250, 212.334.4690) in Dusted Phoenix, channels the mid-blue hues seen on the spring runways. We also love how she personalized her palette with furry Vintage Tecnica boots and a fun fedora. Take a page from LaBow's style guide, by opting for an oversized denim button-down, like Levi's Chambray Western Shirt ($119) or Victoria's Secret Boyfriend Denim Shirt ($58), and adding equally intriguing accents like Pajar Foxtrot Tassle Tie Boots ($555) and a banded chapeau. We like Brixton's Dapper ($74) version or the Bailey Tino Snap Brim Wool Fedora ($50), both which have a LaBow-worthy bit of feather flair.
Riley Keough
This model/actress has a blossoming career that's worth noting and was one of three ladies featured today who appeared in Floria Sigismondi's The Runaways. Not only was the film a critical darling, but we also think her moody black-meets-floral ensemble garners paramount acclaim! We adore the way she went for high contrast with a forties-style Vanessa Bruno Floral Wrap Dress ($685)Â--another lovely option would be Ella Moss' Buttercup Short Sleeve Dress ($198)Â--toughened up with Jeffrey Campbell's silver-buckled Brit Boots ($248). Keough's choice of patterned tights and a Dolce & Gabbana coat further serves to add textural interest to her outfit, while being stylishly practical picks for staying toasty in the snow. While Keough's coat is vintage you can recreate this layered look by opting for a long knit jacket like Nasty Gal's Incognito Cashmere Cardi ($78).
Jessica Alba
Although Jessica Alba gets quite roughed up as a "lady of the night" opposite Casey Affleck in The Killer Inside Me, she attended the film's screening looking perfectly polished. The yummy mummy picked a Where the Wild Things Are X Opening Ceremony Carol Flare Coat ($575)Â--it's completely faux-fur folks!Â-- which added a lovely glam factor to her casual denim and slouch sock ensemble, while actually serving a purpose: to keep her warm in the Park City cold! Her Prada Harness Strap Rubber Lug Boots ($1080) are equally lust-worthy, yet functional and by opting for Kors Michael Kors Stormy Rubber Engineer Boots ($125), you can snag a similarly covetable pair.
Dakota Fanning
While we realize that actresses are often quite disparate from their on-screen personas, perhaps spending time in the shoes of The Runaways wild child Cherie Currie rubbed off slightly on Dakota Fanning's Sundance style. Her directional pairing of Acne's Supreme Black Cotton Tiered Dress ($299) and Alice + Olivia Cascade Front Blazer ($495) form a rockstar-worthy ensemble that may be all black but is anything but basic! Additionally, we like how she piled on the luxe with a thigh-high pair of black suede Isabel Marant Boots (unfortunately, they're no longer available) and then finished the look with Tom Binns' ToughChic Crystal Silver Skull Necklace ($215, 917.475.1412) and Nina Peter's Cropped Fingerless Zipped Gloves with Studs ($252) for a bit of tough-girl edge. Fanning's hand-warmers may be a bit of an investment for a fun accessory, but you can also channel the same hardcore noir by opting for ASOS' Leather and Suede Fingerless Gloves ($31).
Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart appeared not only as the title character in the Joan Jett biopic, The Runaways, but also proved her acting chops as a streetwalker in Jake Scott's second film, Welcome to the Rileys. Despite her talk-of-the-town status as a delightfully strong actress, Stewart kept her look low-key with Juicy Couture's Tony Military Hood Coat ($298) and Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Leg Jean ($230) in Dusk. Her casually chic ensemble included one of our favorite essentials for spring, the field jacket, which resulted in a perfectly constructed off-duty ensemble!
Malin Akerman
Swedish stunner Malin Akerman had a mighty fine Sundance debut rubbing on-screen elbows with Adam Brody, Katie Holmes and Elijah Wood (among others!) in Gait Niederhoffer's The Romantics. Although the generational comedy was screened as a work in progress, Akerman's Park City attire was a complete and chic snow-bunny look. We absolutely adore her Woolrich John Rich & Bros. Luxury Arctic Parka ($650) in an always crisp-looking navy hue. As for the rest of Akerman's polar-perfect ensemble, it can be easily approximated by opting for similarly striking basics. We recommend snuggling into American Apparel's Unisex California Fleece Raglan ($34), strapping on Rocket Dog's Bubbly Lace-Up Wedge Boot ($153) or Rocket Dog's Hazel Boot ($50) to stay fashionable in the flurries, and finally topping off your look with a pom-pom bedecked beanie like Urban Outfitters Chainlink Slouchy Beanie ($28) or Heritage 1981's Knitted Pom ($8) version.Â--Liza Kaplan

I'm a 30 female not in the best shape but better than I have ever been, I am going to take my ASVAB on Wednesday. I am nervous about basic, My goal is to work in computers not combat or anything like that. I am not even sure this makes any sense lol but the PT portion of basic is what has me nervous. I have always wanted to join I even took the ASVAB after high school but I was way out of shape and overweight so I backed out. Now I am trying to get my life in order and the military has always been in the back of my mind on what I wanted to be in because I crave order and guidelines and I know I want to enlist but I am worried I am going to psych myself out of it again. any advice?

Re: 30/f thinking about joining but nervous
There's nobody here who can force you to sign up. At the end of the day you have to search yourself and determine if this is what you really want. As far as PT is concerned, IET will get you into shape, but you need to keep yourself that way after graduating training. Nobody will be there between drills to force you to stay in shape. If you don't stay in shape they'll kick you out. Depending on the state you're in, which I'm presuming is Louisiana, that process is faster/slower than others.
The APFT Requirements for a 27-31 year old female are:
Push Ups: 17
Sit Ups: 45
2 Mile: 24:00
I would suggest you base your training before signing up around that. If you can do that or at least get close to it, you should be ok.
Why do you want to do something with computers? Are you trying to be "away from the front lines"? The first things that happen when the Army invades an enemy territory is set up a communications network. So you have the potential to be out there "on an island" during a deployment. There will be some small combat elements there and as the network is setup they will push forward ahead of you. Make no mistake about it, this is THE ARMY. You train throughout your career to go to WAR. They intend to put you IN HARM'S WAY. If that's not something you can handle, this may not be what you want to do.
Re: 30/f thinking about joining but nervous
I am not concerned about fighting for my country in anyway at all I know what enlisting entails. I have always been interested in serving as my original post stated. I am looking at computers and technology as a skill that can both serve my country as well as assist me in life. I plan on furthering my education into computer engineering.

We haven't commented on our lunch habits for awhile. We keep meaning to but the constant swirl of news keeps us pretty busy.
But a colleague and I had a chance on Friday to step away from the bustle for a sit-down at The Hub on Main Street in North Adams. We both used to go there too many years back when it was the The Capitol and Sprague workers were lined up to get in on a Thursday.
The Hub's proven pretty popular itself since opening three years ago under Kate and (chef) Matt Schilling. My usual selection to-go is the Grown-Up Grilled Cheese but the specials on Friday were to good to pass up.
Over the years, we've grown to love soup. This is Italian wedding at The Hub; you can also get good soup at Christo's (try the Greek) and Pizza Works on Ashland Street.
My colleague and I both selected a roasted chicken sandwich on herb flatbread with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil aioli dressing.
Verdict: pretty awesome. I'm not a fan of flatbread; it's often hard and chewy. This one was just right and a lot moister than expected. The chicken was pulled and tender, the cheese warm but not overpowering and the dressing, well, perfect. But then I'm a fan for anything with basil in it.
We also had the homemade Italian wedding soup — one of my favorites. The canned version by Progresso is a staple in my pantry. Matt's is far better and the cup was not enough.
We topped it off with homemade bread pudding and cream, another favorite of mine I rarely make anymore. (The kids weren't into it and eating a casseroleful by myself was a weighty affair.) It was served warm and had raisins in it. The texture was just right, not too creamy and not too chunky. It was a good-sized portion but didn't feel heavy.
Kate told us the restaurant will be changing the menu at the beginning of May. They've been experimenting hummus and plan to add a hummus sandwich and salad plate, along with a baby spinach salad. Given Matt changed our mind about flatbread, maybe he'll get us into hummus. We're willing to try.
The Hub also was given a permit last year for outside dining so expect to see some tables on the sidewalk once the weather warms up.
It sounds a little weird and it wasn't what I expected when I walked into Nana's Country Market in Adams. What caught me was the sandwich board outside that said "Ham and cole slaw."
It was about 4 p.m. ; going back to the office meant no dinner until after a city council meeting and a ham sandwich sounded pretty good. I've been meaning to stop in at Nana's and this seemed a good a time as any.
Jill Richardson and Frank Willis opened the tiny market and deli a few months ago. I'd watched the progress on the building just down from Angelina's as I'd sped by on my way up and down Route 8.
Look at that bread!
Getting there isn't all that easy. Columbia Street can be tough to cross at that time of day, so I turned around in the carwash and found a parking spot right in front.
Richardson was manning the counter as I perused the sandwich offerings, all around $5. The turkey with cranberry sounded good, so did the roast beef. (The market also offers sliced meat to go along with the staples of bread and milk.) But I came in for ham.
What's on the sandwich, I asked. "Ham, cheese, a slice of tomato and cole slaw on white, wheat or rye," she responded. Cole slaw on the sandwich? Yes, cole slaw on the sandwich.
This I had to try. My only change was the addition of some lettuce to hopefully help hold the dripping to a minimum. "You'll need a napkin," said Richardson.
Honestly, it wasn't that drippy. It was a nice mix of regular and red cabbage with carrots — not to vinegary and not mayo-gloppy. It went well with the sliced ham in between two slabs of homemade rye bread. Really good rye bread.
I could get used to having my side order on my main course and I'll definitely be trying Nana's next interesting concoction.

have had a quick clip from up top*) Mosley appears to be both dominated and submitting to the five hookers, who NOTW alleges were dressed both as Nazis and concentration camp prisoners. The 67-year-old, who has been married for 48 years, was at one point whipped so hard that the orgy had to be halted while a bandage was applied to stop his bleeding.
The orgy characterized by NOTW as having a "Nazi theme" took place on Friday at a $4 million apartment-cum-dungeon near Mosley's home in London's upscale Chelsea neighborhood.
As President of FIA, Mosley is responsible for overseeing international motor sports, including Formula One. He enjoys a close relationship with F1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
Mosley's father Oswald was a notorious fascist and Hitler supporter. Max has been controversially linked to his father's beliefs.
Kicking off the orgy by playing a detainee, Mosley had both his genitals and head inspected for lice, in a way reminiscent to portrayals of incoming concentration camp detainees, before lying to the hookers to purposefully bring about a severe beating. After the session ended, the girls enjoyed a glass of wine. Mosley was offered one as well, but turned it down in favor of a cup of tea. It's not known what ramifications this will have on Mosley's career or the sport he governs. [Via News Of The World]UPDATE: Mosley got to keep his job despite acknowledging he participated in an encounter with sex workers in a basement apartment in London. On top of that, Mosley also headed to the UK courts to claim characterizations of Nazi overtones by NOTW were completely invalid, and even if they were valid, it was done in the privacy of someone else's home. UK High Court judge David Eady apparently agreed on both of those counts. In a ruling hailed by the former Archbishop of Canterbury as a 'dangerous precedent' undermining public morality, the News of the World must now pay Mosley $120,000 in damages, plus legal costs of an estimated $1.7 million, for making the claim. Thanks to legal threats from Mosley's attorneys waving about Eady's ruling, we've removed the NOTW video from our own site, or else face similar attacks on our own free speech.

Protests have continued across Egypt after a verdict was announced in a case over the deaths of more than seventy fans of Egypt's Al-Ahly football club in a stadium massacre on February 1, 2012, in the northern city of Port Said, during a brawl that began minutes after the final whistle of a match between Al-Ahly and opposing side, Al-Masry. 21 fans of the opposing side, Al-Masry, were given the death penalty in the court case, a verdict that must now be approved by Egypt's Grand Mufti. The verdict was handed down during a period of high tension across Egypt, one day after the second anniversary of the beginning of Egypt's 2011 revolution that overthrew former President, Hosni Mubarak.

My favorite things to eat then were blueberry pie, fried oysters and fried eels--but I also used to love corn sandwiches: white bread and mashed potatoes with canned corn dumped on it. (Every once in a while, we'll come back to this fascinating topic, since it seems to matter so much to certain people in the audience.)
--Frank Zappa, The Real Frank Zappa Book
Greetings and salutations from sunny San Diego!
Any of my closest friends will tell you I am not one to be easily intimidated, but I admit it is a bit unnerving to be directly following such exemplary bloggers as John Whiting. But don't worry, I'll get over myself fairly quickly.
I was originally going to subtitle this blog something like "Beggars Banquet," or maybe "The Tightwad Gourmand" (as in "you've heard of the Frugal Gourmet, now meet ... " et cetera and so forth). These titles were attempts to address the fact that, for various reasons, I live a pretty low-budget lifestyle, but still manage to have a damn good time enjoying food. In fact, I kind of revel in finding and enjoying good cheap eats, and this blog would be a chance to go on at length about that revelry with folks of like mind. For one of the many things about eGullet that has really turned me on is the great egalitarianism of food tastes here--I've noticed that many of the same people who contribute passionately to topics on five-star restaurants and rarified vintages also weigh in with equal vigor about sliders, barbeque, chili, and other "just plain folks" food.
But as to the blog title I wound up with: by the serendipity of scheduling, it turns out that I will be moving at the end of this month to a neighborhood a few miles away from the one I currently live in. That means not only a whole different kitchen, and a whole different household with different tolerances about cooking, but also a whole new neighborhood of food resources to explore. So--one of the themes of my blog this week will be taking you all along with me as I get ready to move my personal food act across town. If I'm lucky and the fellow currently occupying my new digs vacates in time, you'll actually get to see my new kitchen and what I'll soon have to work with; but at the very least I'll take you with me as I start exploring the shops and eateries around my new neighborhood. There might even be an IKEA run in there somewhere--meatballs ahoy!
I don't get to do big cooking projects in my current living situation nearly as often as I'd like, partly because my current household companion (who I've immortalized in various posts as Fearless Housemate) is really sensitive to food smells, and partly because this wacky house has a substandard kitchen exhaust fan that vents directly into FH's bedroom--YIKES! So I do try to spare the poor guy from being stanked out of his own room as much as possible. HOWEVER, Fearless Housemate will be out with his band on a gig this Saturday evening, so I plan to execute some kind of minor cooking extravaganza in his absence--the exact nature of which will be determined by what looks good in the markets, what feels good to me, my energy level by the time we get to Saturday, PLUS your input and suggestions.
As for the bulk of this week's meals: I'm taking inspiration from Pan's foodblog, in which he demonstrated the dining, take-out, and delivery food wonders of his immediate neighborhood. Only I'll have *two* neighborhoods full of dining and take-out opportunities to draw upon--my new one as well as my current one, both of which feature a fabulous array of inexpensive ethnic eateries. In fact, the teaser photos for my blog demonstrated just a small sampling of the local riches in my current neighborhood:
The above, in order of appearance: a bento box from Nijiya Market; a medley of cold Szechuan-style appetizers from my beloved Ba Ren; and the iconic San Diego takeout meal, a fish taco combo, this one from El Cotixan, the nearest 24-hour taqueria to my current abode. And that's just for starters; within a five-mile radius of where I'm sitting right now, I can also sample such cuisines as Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Middle Eastern, Filipino, Indian, South American, Greek, Hawaiian, Jewish-style deli, several different styles of hamburger from national chains to one-of-a-kind monsters, and others cuisines that I'm still only just discovering after three-and-a-half years in this town.
Oh, and one other little adventure: on Sunday evening, I'm going to be playing Mistress of the Church Coffee Reception. The congregation of which I am a member is going to be hosting a distinguished lecturer, and I volunteered to do battle with the social hall's brand-new high-volume high-speed high-falutin' coffeemaker. I'm told it's supposed to be easy, all the instructions are written out and taped to the beast. Ooooo-kay ... so how come nobody else volunteered for this task? I sense a potential for this to turn into something right out of an "I Love Lucy" episode, so I'll be sure to bring my camera along in order to record any coffee carnage.
There will be other neighborhood adventures as well, depending on time, schedule, whim, energy level, and audience suggestion.
About those audience suggestions: I do hope folks will chime in early and often with questions and comments as well as suggestions. As you may have noticed, I like to have a lot of fun while hanging on the board here, and it's so much more fun when I have accomplices to help bat the conversational shuttlecock around.
P.S. Oh yeah--despite my fondness for Frank Zappa, there will be no corn sandwiches in this blog (shudder). However, there may well be some fried seafood of some sort, though perhaps neither oysters nor eels (not that I wouldn't mind that...)

The Quiet American
Drama, Romance
American aid worker Alden Pyle arrives in Saigon in the fall of 1952, at the height of the Vietnamese fight for independence from French colonial rule. Filled with zeal for his mission to help the people of Vietnam through his economic aid program and eager to learn the lay of the land from a more experienced hand, Pyle befriends London Times correspondent Thomas Fowler. Soon however, he finds himself smitten with Fowler's young Vietnamese mistress, Phuong, who is beautiful, exotic and mysterious as the city of Saigon itself.

Read: The Rangers Know How To Deal With Adversity/How Important Each Of the 48 Games Will Be
In at article at Newsday, Steve Zipay wrote about how each game during the NHL's 48 game season will mean so much and how this season isn't a marathon but a sprint.
Brian Boyle told Zipay that each loss will mean double and any sort of losing streak could really put a team in a bad spot. Boyle added "it's going o be 30 teams going nuts."
John Tortorella said, in the Daily News, that the Rangers will need to use their experience of dealing with adversity to help get through the changes of a shortened season, "On the players' side, no matter how many games you play, the mental toughness of it is always very important if you're going to succeed. That's a big reason we had success last year; we overcame a lot of different things. This is another one that's ahead of us. We've had experience with it and I think we will handle it just fine.
Dan Rosen of NHL.com writes that with all of the three point games, games that go into overtime where both teams get a point, winning in regulation is going to come at a much higher premium during the shortened season.

WADDINGTON The old Town Hall could have handicapped access by the end of November.
The renovations are set to begin Sept. 9.
The town has accepted a bid from Continental Construction Co., Gouverneur, to begin construction. The company will build a ramp and install a chairlift and elevator in the basement of the old Town Hall, which will extend to the auditorium. The downstairs bathrooms will also be modified to be handicapped-accessible.
Continental is currently doing construction on Pickens Hall in Heuvelton, council member Robert J. Dalton said. They know historic buildings and how they have to follow the state rules and regulations for those buildings.
The buildings top floor contains a hall used primarily for weddings, concerts and private parties. The bottom floor houses the Waddington Neighborhood Center and Chamber of Commerce. Both floors are only accessible by stairs.
As the elevator will be in front on the ground floor, the chamber offices will move to the center basement space currently occupied by the neighborhood center. The neighborhood center will move permanently from the old Town Hall to the former Rescue Squad building, on Route 37, being leased by the town.
The project has a price tag of $146,800. It is funded by $70,000 from the St. Lawrence River Valley Redevelopment Agency and $76,800 from the towns Waddington Hepburn Library and old Town Hall maintenance fund.
Installing a wheelchair lift is part of the towns multi-stage project to improve the 130-year-old buildings accessibility.
With this next project, were one step closer to utilizing the building more fully and making it more handicapped-accessible, Mr. Dalton said. The next step is to renovate the upstairs.

The pre-emergent, TREFLAN®, is impregnated into the emitter during the molding process and creates a "force field" effect around the emitter outlet, diverting root growth and assuring long term reliability.
Can be installed at grade or buried 4" – 8" (10,2- 20,4cm)underground, delivering irrigation directly to the plant's root zone.
Provide precise, trouble-free water application. TREFLAN® impregnated emitters are inseparably welded to the inside wall of durable polyethylene dripline tubing during manufacturing.
Irrigation takes place at or below grade so there is minimal water loss due to mist, evaporation, run-off or wind. Fertigation needs are reduced because water is applied only at the root zone.
When DL2000 is installed below ground, the landscape surface is free from irrigation equipment that may disrupt activities or cause injury. Sub-surface performance also avoids slippery walkways and roadways as well as wet walls, fences and windows.

Sounds like a perfect couple to me. As word spread that the five-time all-star and last year's MVP (a rarity for a starting pitcher) was seen with Upton out and about in Detroit this past weekend, I reached out to 2K Sports to see if the label would confirm or deny any role in the matchmaking. I sent the following questions:
• Did 2K Sports engineer Verlander's cover appearance and Upton's promotional work with the intent of playing celebrity matchmaker?
• During the promotional shoots for MLB 2K12, did 2K Sports ever witness flirting, necking, canoodling, heavy petting or anything that would suggest future couple-hood?
• If so, did you take pictures?
• If Kate Upton and Justin Verlander did get married and have kids, how would their offspring be rated?
Kotaku did not receive a reply by the time of publication. Should 2K Sports wish to make any, it will be updated here.

It breaks my heart when an airplane dies.
Local news reports saying that the pilot reported flames over the wing and a wing separating from the aircraft. Eyewitnesses also are saying the aircraft was at an almost 45-degree angle and three or four popping noises shortly before the crash.
Never, repeat never pay attention to the so called "witness reports", 99.9999% of the times it is folks who have no idea how and why a normal flight looks and sounds like, never mind a plane in distress.
there goes the flying on 1 engine theory
The popping sounds would have been the canopy popping off the jet for one. The other 2 popping sounds would have been each seat leaving the jet before it crashed.
I'm not sure. One eyewitness at a salvage yard right off the end of the runway heard the pops right over his head. The crash site is about 2 miles off the end of the runway.
Also, as for the flame over the wing, its all about the point of view of the person seeing the fire. If I would guess, the plane was banked over to the right and its possible that the flame could have been the right engine in afterburner and the dumping fuel igniting as well. In addition, it almost sounds like they ejected out of the envelope and are lucky to be alive.
If they were going more than 630kias, then they would be out of the envelope. But, i don't think they would be going that fast right after takeoff. Pretty sure they were sitting in a variant of the MK10 MB seat. This would mean they can eject all the way up to 630kias before they are out of the envelope. It is not really luck when you eject just after you take off. The seat is also zero/zero.
I don't think air speed is a problem here. But they can be out of the envelope if the plane is banked over too far. The first female F-14 pilot comes to mind when she punched out too late and died. Here is info on the ejection system on the F-18. http://info.publicintelligence.net/F18-ABCD-000.pdf Page 627
The flames over the wing were reported by the pilot.
That would be rather odd for the pilot of the jet reporting this to sources outside the military, but hey, stranger things have happened.
That was what an admiral that released a statement said he was told by the pilot.
Maybe still in the envelope but one of them was still in the seat as he landed. He waited way too long to punch. Maybe he was still trying to fly the aircraft away from the buildings. I flew in a zero/zero seat and it was just enough to give you one swing before impact.
I live about 2 miles from the crash and it was a miracle that no one was killed in the incident. Both pilots punched out low and their chutes were barely open when they landed. Both doing ok and back on duty. Fuel is dumped automatically in an emergency situation and it was dumping when they approached the crash site. Neither engine of the aircraft was producing enough power to sustain flight. If one engine had been working, they would have been able to return to Oceana and land. (Former Navy pilot)
I observed a similar mishap in 1994 at Alameda. Chutes did not deploy and both pilots were lost.
I'm betting they did not have any control of the ac when they punched.
This brings back bad memories from 1987 of a similar, though much deadlier, incident near the old Indianapolis airport terminal. (http://www.indystar.com/article/99999999/NEWS06/101020007/StarFiles-1987-Ramada-plane-crash) Thank God all survived in this one.
They were dumping fuel prior to crash.sounds like possible engine failure.One report says pilot apologised said they did everything they could to avoid poulation.
By looking at this photo, http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/g-cvr-120406-crashed-jet-1030a.photoblog600.jpg I can tell you that the left engine was shutdown at the point of impact and the right engine was at full or almost full power before impact. I'm no expert on this, but I worked on F/A-18D's for a few years while I was in the Navy.
New report said it was a F/A-18D
I am sure that plane could fly with one engine. For both engines to fail is hard to believe.
It can fly one one engine, but if it failed during take-off, the weight and balance would be off. Plus we don't know the configuration of the F-18 on take-off. It could have a few drop-tanks, fake bombs, both, we just don't know.
I'm not a military guy so really can't comment on their procedures or regulations, but in the civilian world the "weight and balance" as you put it is based on one engine out climb performance.

F18 crashes into apartments near Virginia Beach
a f18 has crashed in virginia into a block of apartments next to a school
the news report says the "engine" was straining.... If they could tell if one engine was straining, how come they can't tell us which one?... All jokes aside.. I wonder what happened.
Good they ejected safely. Says one pilot taken to hospital... Wonder what happened.
pretty daunting photos
Can still fly on one engine.I don,t think weigh and balance acft had nose up condition.Possiable Flight control problems to give nose up condition.And training for a pilot is to avoid populace
Here is a list of procedures for lost thrust on take off.
http://info.publicintelligence.net/F18-ABCD-000.pdf Page 534 14.5 LOSS OF THRUST ON TAKEOFF
See also Page 89 in the pdf, page I-2-17, para 2.2.7 Fuel Dump System.
Wasn´t Oceana´s F-18s supposed to move to Mayport or Cecil NAS in Florida and one of the reaons being the encroachment of residential and commercial buildings aroung Oceana.
@chalet: Let's not second guess the crew just yet. I'd bet money they did all they could to avoid injury on the ground, but if they no longer had control of the a/c then why ride it in?? To be honest my impression was that you were being awfully gallant with "their" lives.
It is up to the investigators to find out what happened and why the two crewmen ejected right over a heavily populated area letting go the plane to crash anywhere; in similar instances crewmen opted to stay in the plane trying as much as possible to cause the least number of casualties even knowing that their heroic decision was going to cost their own lives. It is a mirable that this time nobody got hurt in that building.
It hit a Senior Citizen apartment complex, other news reports citing, "possible" victims .. on the ground
It seems like the same thing that happened with the Canadian demo F-18 where one engine starting producing more thrust than they other and they lost control.
what is interesting is that about 15 min. after this happened (about the time for them to get to my house), two of those jets came over my house at about 150ft. on the training route. Wouldn't be surprised if this one was one that was due to fly over my house!

F/A-18 Super Hornet Crashes in Virginia Beach
Both pilots are believed to have ejected safely. Cause is unknown. Looking forward to seeing more information surface.
I am a veteran who lives with many other veterans. Unanimous comment. Their plane went through six residential buildings after they ejected. We all expect by the time the military is done with them after that they will have wished they hadn't lived. You just don't have an aircraft fly into people's homes with nobody onboard trying to prevent that from happening right on up through the crash. Like the saying for ships you go down with the ship only for airplanes it only applies in some situations... crashing into homes is one of them.
Neither you or I were there. And your status as a veteran doesn't impart you with special vision. You can't know how bad it may have been up there or what they'd already done to correct or mitigate the situation. I promise you that if they felt it was time to step over the side then they no longer had the ability to affect the outcome. Think on this.....today's aircraft are fly by wire. If the systems pack it in they I don't care how much you fight the controls, you no longer "have" control and are just a passenger on a losing proposition. But this is of course speculation on my part and hopefully a reminder to my fellow "enlightened" veterans to consider all the possibilities before you throw a crew under the bus.
Wow, this has to be the dumbest post I have read in quite some time. You are acting as if they did not even try to save the jet from going down. Were you there in the cockpit with them? If the pilots punched out just a second later than they did, they would probably be dead. When all is said and done, I bet nothing happens to these pilots. They will probably be back flying F-18's in a year or so.
Now let's look at this from your misguided point of view. So, they stay with the jet all the way into the buildings. Now we have two dead people instead of none. In addition, we would not have any firsthand knowledge of what went wrong with the jet before it crashed. This accident will all just come down to a maintenance issue with the jet before it was cleared for flight. The same thing that happened to the F-18 that crashed in December 2008 in San Diego. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_San_Diego_F/A-18_crash
Totally agree with Mike - And if you know the area and read more about the incident, the pilots did everything they could to get to water. Not being able to make it, they road it down as far as they could to ensure it got passed the elementary school. Considering what we know (and don't know), they did a darn good job.
I haven't found any evidence that the F18
d has a fuel dump system. Normally fighters
do not have a fuel dump system, they drop the
external tank. But the Navy said they were dumping
fuel. But that was a spokesman and probably not
a pilot.
I served in the military as a C141 crewchief and worked on F14's and E6's at Norfolk Naval Aviation depot for many years as a civilian airframes mechanic. Both of those aircraft have a means to dump fuel. I cant think of any military or heavy aircraft that doesnt. It is necessary to both reduce weight and chance of a fireball on landing...From the articles I read, it appears they were on the departure leg when a the engine developed problems. If something like that is going to happen, it's at that time. The aircraft is at full power on take off...the engine either ingested some FOD and/or suffered an uncontained failure that caused engine debris to puncture the wing on that side. Im not sure if the aircraft would have had such a great assymetric thrust problem as some suggested, since the engines are close to center line. it would appear the pilots did a good job with emergency procedures, dumping fuel and get the aircraft slowed (indicated by the high angle of attack witnesses saw).
Your talking heavy jet vs fighter.We all know that some commerical a/c have the capabitity to dump fuel. For instance; 767-400 can dump fuel but the 767-200 cannot.757 cannot dump fuel as is the same with a 737 (all models) MD-80 series cannot but the 727 could. My original question;can a F-18 dump fuel?
Yes, the F-18 can dump fuel.
Thanks Mike, I did not know that!

Average retail gasoline prices in Utah have fallen 3.2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.69/g Sunday. This compares with the national average that has fallen 3.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.46/g, according to gasoline price website UtahGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Utah during the past week, prices Sunday were 32.3 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 3.0 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.
"The national average has again decreased in the last week, but the decreases are beginning to slow down," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Wholesale gasoline prices rose strongly on Friday which could send prices higher in states with among the lowest prices in the United States. The fuel tightness has also continued in NYC- for those in Sandy's wake, fuel availability remains difficult, and is the reason GasBuddy has implemented an emergency fuel availability service," DeHaan said.
