Juan Diego Michel's Cheese-Stuffed Poblanos
- 16 small or 8 large fresh poblano chiles (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), roasted, peeled, and seeded, leaving chiles whole
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, well softened
- 1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup green seedless grapes (3/4 pound)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large or 2 small ripe (black) plantains, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 2 1/2 pound tomatoes (8 medium)
- 1 medium white onion, quartered
- 2 large garlic cloves, left unpeeled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 large or 2 small firm-ripe mangoes (1 pound total), peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- Accompaniment:Mexican rice with mint
Preheat broiler.
Broil tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a foil-lined shallow baking pan 2 to 3 inches from heat, turning frequently, until lightly charred on all sides, about 5 minutes for garlic, 12 to 15 minutes for onion and tomatoes (flesh should be soft). Alternatively, char vegetables in a hot well-seasoned griddle or cast-iron skillet over moderate heat.
Core tomatoes and peel garlic, then purée both with onion and salt in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot ingredients). Force through a large sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a wide 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until just hot. Stir about 1/2 cup tomato sauce into oil (this reduces spattering) and, when bubbling vigorously, add remaining sauce and basil. Fry sauce, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Add grapes, plantains, and mangoes to sauce and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and fruit is tender but still intact, about 30 minutes. Season sauce with salt.
While sauce is simmering, preheat oven to 350°F.
Pour sauce over stuffed chiles and bake, covered with foil, until cheese is completely melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
Cooks' notes:
· Chiles may be stuffed 1 day ahead and chilled (without sauce), covered.
· Dish may be assembled 4 hours ahead. Cool, uncovered, then chill, covered. Bring to room temperature before baking.

Some things I think I think:
It was nice to see North Smithfield's Corinne Coia gain some local recognition for her productive basketball career at Lincoln School. The 6-foot-4 senior, who has signed a letter of intent to play for the University of Rhode Island, scored 25 points on Monday night and now has 1,019 points in her career. She passed 1,000 career rebounds earlier this season.
Coia's decision to go the private school route has turned out perfectly. She reaped the educational benefits of attending Lincoln School, which has a beautiful and secluded campus tucked off a side street near the Blackstone Boulevard in Providence. And her basketball potential was enhanced while playing for head coach Christina Batastini-Sheehan, a Rhode Island product who succeeded in a big-time college program at Stanford University.
Others have tried the private school route with not quite the same results. Woonsocket's Mike LaPlante came out of his two years at St. Andrew's School in Barrington with a high school diploma and not much else. LaPlante might have been better off staying at Woonsocket High and learning the game from former URI starting forward Kyle Ivey-Jones. But that's all hindsight. You can't second-guess decisions people make with their lives. You only hope they keep battling until things turn in their favor. Never give up is not just something sports coaches preach. It applies to real life, too.
Pawtucket's Rakim Sanders had better luck at St. Andrew's, playing his way into a full basketball scholarship at Boston College, where he played for three seasons before leaving the program after Al Skinner got fired.
Sanders is now sitting out a season while preparing for a final college season at Fairfield (Ct.) University, where he will play for former BC assistant Ed Cooley.
The private school option remains attractive to young basketball players who dream of earning a college scholarship. Tolman High's Diandra DaRosa transferred to St. Raphael Academy after a sparkling freshman season. St. Raphael Academy's Charles Correa, a sophomore point guard, is learning the game from veteran coach Tom Sorrentine, an old school mentor who has sent several of his former players on to Division I college programs, mostly notably Jeff Xavier, who finished up at Providence College two seasons ago.
The elite players in high school basketball have their own decisions to make. But they are not the only kids trying to attain some form of success and achievement. I find myself thinking at times about this year's Woonsocket High boys team that has won only one league game and three games overall after four straight seasons in the playoffs.
Here's my question: How do you judge this year's team? Certainly not by wins and losses. In this case, the best measuring stick is whether the players stick it out. Do they just play out the schedule while going through the motions? My sense is that the players who remain on this team are trying as hard as they can. They are also learning a valuable lesson about life.
Their success as high school students is not connected to wins and losses on the sports fields. Success comes from sticking with a job you started. Maybe the lesson for these Woonsocket players is that you never give up, even when the odds are stacked against you. Completing an assignment under duress is a great learning tool for the world that awaits them, whether in a college classroom or the Army or a job that awaits them in the community.
Former Woonsocket player Mike Akinrola, now finishing up his junior year at Rhode Island College, is an example of a young man who made the right decision about where to go to school. "Big Mike" was kind of a shy kid in high school. He has come a long way in the intervening three years, blossoming as a student and a basketball player. Mike said last week that he wants to become a state trooper or policemen when he completes his education. It is good news for those two organizations that a young man the caliber of Mike Akinrola wants to become a law enforcement official.
The thing about high school sports that nobody likes to talk about is how some student-athletes disappear in the middle of a season due to poor grades. There's no shame in this. Academic life is just as volatile as sports competition. Teachers just put grades on classroom performance instead of wins and losses. Both pursuits are ongoing affairs. A basketball player can lose his eligibility in mid-January, disappear from the team, and use that extra time in his or her life to study harder and make better grades heading down the home stretch towards graduation.
In the long run, it's a lot more important to win the battle of the books than it is to stay eligible and help your team win a few games that will soon be forgotten. Nobody cares whether your team finished under .500 or missed the playoffs. But if a young person loses the battle for a high school diploma, that's going to negatively impact his or her life for years to come.
One other thing: The smartest kids in high school aren't guaranteed anything. They may be surpassed over the years by fellow students who keep plugging away, day after day. Having a great work ethic and strong values is just as important to success in life as any mental skills. Life is a long-distance run. The race doesn't really go to the swiftest, or the brightest. It goes to the runners who are prepared to go the distance. It goes to the people who stay the course and never give up.

Family Food Feud: Relatives and Allergies
Lily Becker* will never forget the day her brother-in-law slipped a peanut butter cookie to her allergic young son when she wasn't looking. Becker's Waconia, Minnesota home was packed with relatives watching the big game on TV, and the mood was festive – until her son came up to her in the kitchen and said, "I feel sick." Becker's sister-in-law rushed in to admit that her husband had given the boy a peanut butter cookie. Moments later, the 2-year-old began vomiting repeatedly.
In retrospect, Becker knows the reaction could have been far worse, and she's thankful it wasn't. Still, she wonders whether her in-laws were actually checking to see if her child's allergy was real. "To this day, I believe he gave it to him to test whether I was making the whole allergy up," she says, adding that after the incident, the in-laws took the allergy far more seriously.
"It was strange, because I now had 'proof' of my son's allergy, so I felt more comfortable making special requests and inquiring about ingredients."
For 14 years, Rachel O'Neill* has tried to get her mother-in-law to understand. O'Neill, who lives in Ottawa, Canada has explained again and again that her allergies to tree nuts and peanuts are a serious condition that could land her in the hospital – or worse – and that her oral allergies to carrots and celery are not the product of pickiness. Still, when she and her husband visit, O'Neill's mother-in-law continues to dish out foods she's allergic to, then remembers out loud that her daughter-in-law doesn't "like" them.
O'Neill's husband always speaks up about his wife's allergies, and for the most part, his mother seems sympathetic enough – until it's mealtime. "The most frustrating part is that the sympathy is there, but the follow-through is not," explains O'Neill. "I find it exhausting that I constantly have to ask whether the food being served has nuts in it – then still can't trust that the answers are legit."
In Pickering, Ontario, another family was shocked to discover the source of their young son's frequent bouts of illness was his own grandparents. In the dangerously misguided belief they were building up his tolerance, the paternal grandparents had been secretly grinding almonds into his cereal behind his parents' backs, and it was making the child sick.
Amazingly, stories like these are not at all uncommon. Every day, adults and kids are diagnosed with food allergies or celiac disease, and they naturally expect that the people closest to them will take the most care – as they would with any serious health condition. After all, you should be able to trust your mom to keep gluten out of her gravy, and assume that, when your brother babysits your peanut-allergic daughter, he carefully reads the ingredients on that chocolate bar, right?
For too many living with food allergies and celiac disease, sadly the answer is no. In the fall of 2010, Allergic Living sent out a request for anecdotes of family experiences (both good and bad), and within days we were inundated with responses – dozens of stories about grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers and in-laws denying and ignoring their allergies, disputing them, and worse, triggering reactions that could be life-threatening.
A disturbing number told stories of disbelieving family members actually "testing" allergies or gluten intolerance by slipping the offending food into their or their children's meals.
Not surprisingly, those telling the anecdotes feel hurt, upset and betrayed as close family relationships descend into pitched family battles. Sometimes full-fledged wars break out as communication melts down and both sides storm off in opposite directions. Along the way, many are left to ask, "Why doesn't my family get my food restrictions?"

I Did It. It Was Me!
Let me tell you something about me. I have personal problems, okay? Who doesn't? I'll not spell them all out here, but sometimes I exhibit personality traits I'm not proud of. That's who I am. I am a perfectly reasonable man when treated with respect, but I can be seen as unreasonable when I am not. Some days I just don't care. But how in the hell this personality trait of mine can legitimately lead one to reject my arguments is simply beyond me. It is a non-sequitur. I have never asked to be liked. That is not my goal. Many Christians do not like me. But I don't care if they don't. I know I'm a nice guy when treated nicely. Most of us are like that, so I'm normal with regard to that. But many Christians look for personality traits in me that might embarrass me and use that against me to show something about me, whatever that might be at the time.
Anyone who has read Paul Johnson's book The Intellectuals, knows that some of the brightest minds in recent centuries had personal problems, some of them were serious. Mine are not so serious. I may have an arrogant, stubborn streak, but many people who accomplish something in life have the same traits. While I am pretty much a "nobody" when compared to these "intellectuals," their personal problems say nothing about their arguments, and they say nothing against the influence they had on society, either.
My rule of thumb is that I treat people respectfully, but if I detect that there is absolutely nothing I could say that would change their minds about me, I blast them, I ridicule them, I taunt them. To me it's answering a fool according to his folly, "as the Bible say." Other people have more discipline than that. They wouldn't even bother with such people as that. For some personality fault of mine I do bother with them, and it causes me to sink to their level.
Then what usually happens is that Christians plaster what I said all over the web to show what a nasty person I am, taken out of context. The truth is I am not half as nasty as other people are on other sites, both Christian and non-Christian, even when I'm responding to such things in kind.
Anyway, I started up this blog about J.P. Holding and I'm being blasted for it here. [Edited. This Blog now belongs to J.P. Holding. See comments at the end to see why]. I responded in kind there for several pages in the space of a few hours. As you can tell I was taunting them all. There were nearly 30 people viewing the thread at one time, and that may be a record. But I have little respect for J.P. Holding and many of his gullible followers at TWEB. So I taunt, I argue, I ridicule, and as you can tell I was also having some honest fun with them. But it didn't matter what they thought of me because nothing I said would ever change their minds about me. That is the context. When I'm in a situation like that I blast away, since it does not matter what I say, and so I did.
As far as my being dishonest goes, technically I was not dishonest, even if I was deceptive. I am not ethically obligated to tell everything that I know. No one is. Christians like St. Augustine claimed one could deceive others by having a hidden "mental reservation" in the mind. Even if I was dishonest I do not believe I did anything wrong because I hold to a consequentialist ethic. Even if I was dishonest it says nothing about my arguments. Even if I was dishonest it is such a small thing that I would be happy, very happy if that's all I've ever done wrong. Even if I was dishonest it must be compared to JP Holding's overwhelmingly dishonesty, and what I did pales by comparison. He is a scum bag.
The moral question is how to respond to a dishonest person like Holding, whom I regard as a liar. According to Sissela Bok, "To lie to a liar is to give him what he deserves, to play by his own rules, to restore an equilibrium he himself has upset." (p. 125). She has written a whole chapter about "lying to liars" in her book, Lying, which I highly recommend.
One other thing. I am more revealing about myself than probably any other atheist on the web precisely because I have a healthy self-esteem, and as a former minister I know that everyone has personal problems. If anyone wants to point his finger at me, he is being a hypocrite. People can hide by not revealing anything about themselves, and even hide their true identity, but I know different. We are all human beings. We all have problems. I didn't even have to write this and put it here at DC, but I did, which is more than I can say about what Holding does when he is truly caught being dishonest, over and over and over again.

|Burnout operations good to go
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 26 June 2007 05:45
Yesterday, Incident Information Officer Gil Knight said today's burnout operation on a wildfire at Shortoff Mountain depended on the weather.Today he says the weather is cooperating, and firefighters will begin to burn potential kindling. The goal is for the fire to reach a point where there will be no more fuel- thus starving out, Knight said. It's a delicate situation, though. If the wind changes or humidity goes down- the burnout will be cancelled. Firefighters last week had hoped the Shortoff wildfire was mostly contained. The lack of measurable rainfall and low humidity, however, have encouraged its spread from 1,900 acres to 2,995 acres. Additionally, a hot spot popped up on the Dobson Knob fire over the weekend, thought to have been under control. Combined, the fires in Linville Gorge have burned over 3,800 acres. Portions of the Linville Gorge Wilderness west of Linville River are still open to the public today. Everything from the Blue Ridge Parkway south to Spence Ridge Trail is open, while the remaining area south of Spence Ridge Trail from the Linville River east to the Wilderness boundary and down to its southern boundary is still closed until further notice.

Cobra 3" Slip On Mufflers For Harley Touring
Great performance and sound are the hallmarks of these 3-inch mufflers. These 3-inch slip-on mufflers offer a way for riders to customize their bikes without breaking the bank. They include billet aluminum tips that can be mounted in one of three positions so the rider can choose either a slash-down look, a slash-cut look, or one in between.
They come with 2-inch replaceable baffles that uses a constant velocity design for improved performance. The baffles also use a high-density bonded e-class sleeve and stainless steel mesh, which contributes to a better acoustic quality. Though the baffles work to reduce the tone and volume, they also contribute to the power gains from the mufflers, which are among the highest in the industry. And on models that use a cross-over on the stock system, the Cobra slip-ons include a similar OEM-style balance tube to increase overall performance. They fit the stock head pipes on all models as well as the Cobra PowerPort Duals and the Cobra True Dual head pipes.

By By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
I have decided to file a lawsuit.
Why not? Everyone else does.
I have decided to sue the alphabet. What holdings it has, other than the English (and other) languages, I don't know, but I am going to get my pound of retribution out of it. I deserve it.
And I am going to make it a class action suit. Anyone whose last name begins with the letters O-Z can join in. We, as a group have been sent to the back of the line, class, roll, etc. forever and it's about time we were compensated for it.
Those haughty people with last names that begin with the letters A-K better watch out too. They are like the one percenters: always getting ahead of us in everything.
As for those with names with the first letter from the middle of the alphabet (L-M-N), you are even worse, you no-good fence sitters. No matter how the alphabetical order is broken down, you always end up the same.
I have been haunted with this S name for my whole life. It started right after I was born. They actually listed the babies born in January of 1952 in my home town newspaper in alphabetical order. And it continued, on and on. Anytime we had anything to do in school, it was always "line up alphabetically."
And I always complained to teachers and administrators. They just wrote it off as nothing important. But then all those I complained to, it seemed, were in the "upper" half of the alphabet.
That's another gripe I have about this whole thing. It's how we in the later half of the alphabet are classified. People never say later in the alphabet, they say the "lower half" of the alphabet when they refer to us as a group.,
We are individuals and deserve recognition for that. This stereotyping us as all less than the front of the sequence is wrong.
I do remember one time I had a teacher that tried to fix it for us, a little anyway.
After I rallied a couple of kids in my fifth grade class at Grant Elementary School to talk to Mrs. Lindsey about the situation on the daily rotation for reciting times tables (the easy ones came first), she changed how she had been doing it. She decided to still use the alphabet, but by first name. But there was this one kid name Jim Miller in our class. When she announced we should line up for lunch one day by the first letter of our first name he jumped right to the front of the line. She told him he had to go farther down the line, because there were certainly a lot more children with letters "ahead" of J. He pointed out that if she looked in her roll book she would find that his actual first name was Aaron. It was. Suddenly everyone had new first names, except me and two other kids. I had moved up one spot to R. Big deal.
She never tried that again. But then what could I expect from someone with a fence sitting name like Lindsey.
High school was like a contest to see who could get the worst treatment when it came to your last name. You had to line up in gym in two rows for activities. When there were skills tests I always got paired with this bully in the row in front of me whose last name started with a J. He was a real idiot and always tried to pick a fight with me when we were doing such things as playing one on one, playing catch or practicing correct setting for volleyball. The only time that changed was when he was absent, then I got some smelly H guy who never took a shower after gym.
The yearbooks were bad too. Not only was I always towards the back of the class in the book, but in one book it was like someone did some bad planning. The photos of the second half of the alphabet students were somewhat smaller.
It was worse when I got to college. They not only alphabetized you they also used your social security number as well. This complicated things even more.
Then there's the phone book. If you want anonymity a good place to go is a spot past N. By the time they get to writing that part no one seems to care much. However, if your name begins with U, X or Z you get singled out for your lateness in the order by getting your very own section along with maybe five names.
Women have an advantage. They can change their situation. I always told my daughter to look for a husband with a last name that began with A or even B. She chose a B. I and she found out you should never marry someone because of the letter their last name started with.
Anyway this alphabetical thing is a travesty, and I want it changed. Before I die I want to see equal treatment for those that, through no fault of their own, ended up with names that sent them to school lunch late every day in junior high, when all that was left were smashed rolls and lima beans.
Yeah I could have legally changed my name to AAArdvark or something like that, but who has the money. Anyway my heritage is important to me.
It's time there was an awakening in the nation to the plight of the alphabetically challenged. The kind of consonant you have that starts your name shouldn't be a factor. And vowels should get equal treatment too.
Heck I may even start a defense fund and rally people around the country for a change in attitudes where people are not judged by symbols and graphemes, but by what they are worth to our society and way of life.

SACKETS HARBOR — A man was charged with boating while intoxicated after a Coast Guard response boat saw his boat operating erratically and tried to stop it on Saturday around 11 p.m.
The Coast Guard patrol from the Sackets Harbor station observed a high performance Fountain boat leaving Sackets Harbor at high speed in a no-wake zone, according to a Coast Guard press release. The boat was operating in a dangerous manner after sunset, the release said.
When the patrol boat used emergency blue lights to stop the vessel, it continued on without stopping, so the patrol boat turned on sirens and pursued it toward Pillar Point, according to the release. The chase continued, with the boat and the patrol nearly colliding.
The operator later was identified as William A. Koelmel II, 60, of Dexter. The Coast Guard team conducted a safety check on the vessel and said they determined him to be under the influence of alcohol due to the detected odor of alcohol and the observance of slurred speech, poor balance and uncooperative and belligerent behavior.
His vessel was towed back to Sackets Harbor.
His blood alcohol content registered 0.149 percent after a sobriety test and breath sample were taken, the Coast Guard said.
Boating while intoxicated is charged when the BAC is 0.08 percent or higher. He also was charged by the Coast Guard with failure to stop, negligent operations and expired visual distress signals operating after sunset.
Jefferson County sheriff's deputies and Dexter police also assisted on the scene.

Over all, this is the best Bass book out there, (that I've used) and given that it is a little vague in some areas it still isn't a problem if you read through the chapters first!
Comments about MJS Music Publications Total Scales Techniques and Applications - Bass (Book/CD):
The book could have had more explanation in it, but once I read over it a couple times I think I got it. I think this is going to help me out a lot and it is fun to play through.

Kat Von D is known for her edgy style and countless tattoos -- but who knew the raven-haired beauty even fancies dark home decor?
The "LA Ink" star is selling her Gothic Los Angeles Mansion for $2.5 million! Just looking at the inside, it definitely looks like the perfect place for Kat to call home.
The 31-year-old recently got engaged to Deadmau5, so it seems like the twosome may be looking for some bigger digs and start fresh together.
The L.A. property boasts 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a chef's kitchen (stocked with Viking appliances) and a dining room fit for a few sexy vampires.
Black and gold stenciled walls line the living room and dining room and giant Gothic style paintings cover the second floor walls. Adding to the dark vibe are black chandeliers and taxidermy heads.
The grounds come equipped with a barbecue, fire pit, spa and stunning views of Hollywood's hillsides -- the one missing thing...a tattoo parlor!".
Thanks to Redfin for providing the listing -- click "Launch Gallery" above to see more photos of Kat's crazy medieval mansion!

This was the first Socktoberfest that I actually did a really good job of knitting socks. My usual time frame to knit a pair is about 6 months. So even though I didn't finish my Mystery Socks during the designated month of celebration, I still consider this a Successful Socktober! I'm nearly finished with the pair!
The pattern was my very first experience with a Mystery Knitalong! Kirsten has been doing a mystery sock during October, ahem, excuse me, during SOCKtober, for a few years now. This pattern, TTL Mystery Sock 2010, was fun and easy; a perfect match for the yummy skein of Skinny Bugga that I got at SAFF in 2009. The color is Tomato Frog, and very hard to capture with my amateur photog skillz.
If I can keep myself from casting on for all the ideas and plans floating around in my head (That'll be hard because I already cast on for new slippers for Gerald), then I might finish these very soon! Can't wait to see how the yarn and pattern look after blocking!
In giveaway news…
I printed out all the entries (over 100!) from the Stitch 'n Bitch Superstar Knitting giveaway post, cut them up into individual bits of paper and had Maggie draw three out of the proverbial hat. The winners are:
All three have been contacted, and will receive their books soon! Thanks to everyone who entered. I wish I could send a book to each of you!
I feel like we've been on giveaway overdrive, but get this. I have another giveaway coming soon!

Who is Marco Franco? What's his playing style?
Re-live the 2014 MLS SuperDraft with this exclusive, not seen on TV interview with the Fire's draft pick Marco Franco.
It's always interesting when things come full circle in MLS… Follow me if you will…
Take a ride back to last September when the Fire acquired midfielder Wells Thompson from Colorado in exchange for a conditional MLS SuperDraft selection.
The condition stated that if Thompson appeared in four of the team's remaining regular season matches, the Fire would surrender their second round selection at the 2013 SuperDraft to the Rapids. He did and the Fire bid farewell to the pick.
Not so fast…
Wells Thompson: Trade Revolutionary?
Then consider the news out of the Denver Post today where Rapids President Tim Hinchey said Larentowicz was nearly traded to the Columbus Crew instead of the Fire.
Flash forward to the night before the MLS SuperDraft in Indianapolis when the teams did another deal, this time with the Fire acquiring central midfielder Jeff Larentowicz as well as the same second round pick they'd surrendered to the Rapids (30th overall) in exchange for their first round selection (11th overall), an international roster spot and allocation money.
Apparently the Rapids had turned down "better offers" from other teams in order to grant Larentowicz his wish of coming to Chicago rather than Columbus.
One of the main pieces at play in that potential deal was the MLS rights to midfielder Robbie Rogers, which the Fire also ended up acquiring in the trade that brought Dilly Duka to Chicago.
Not the Fire or Rapids could have predicted Rogers would retire but beyond that, you almost wonder if the other part of the potential Crew/Rapids deal could have been Duka?
But I'm getting off topic here…
Things officially came full circle today when Yazid Atouba, the player selected with the 30th pick that went back and forth between the Rapids and Fire, officially signed with the Men in Red. Slightly unheralded at the SuperDraft, Atouba gained confidence in every preseason match and dazzled Fire fans towards the end.
Certainly a pleasant surprise at #30 overall...
Take it all in and let me leave you with a few parting shots…
* Let me point out that this type of juicy "after-the-fact" trade possibility is something we just don't hear about enough in MLS.
* It says something about the culture created internally when an MLS veteran like Jeff Larentowicz chooses to come to your club.
* Kudos to the Rapids for doing well by the player.
* Who knows who the Fire would have selected with the 11th overall pick but my safe money is on the fact that Yazid Atouba wouldn't have been it.
* No offense whatsoever meant to Wells Thompson, but who'd have thought this all would have come from his slightly under the radar trade last fall?
Feelings on joining the Chicago Fire?
"I'm extremely delighted to be drafted by the Fire. I feel it's a golden opportunity for me to play under better conditions and show what I can do in MLS."
What are the strong suits of your game?
"I think my strengths are my speed, ability and technique. I feel like I have a lot to offer in those areas."
On coming from Cameroon…
"The training conditions I've had to play under in Cameroon aren't as good as in Chicago where they have top facilities and a great stadium. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to play in that stadium."
On youth international experiences with Cameroon U-20's
"I feel playing with the Cameroonian team at the U-20 World Cup raised my profile a bit and gave me something more to build towards. Representing your nation in a world championship is an amazing thing and I was very proud to play a part in all four games."
On his combine performance…
"I did feel that I had a strong combine. I came in off of an 18-hour flight and felt a little tired in the second half of games but I think I did very well to prove my abilities at the combine."
His thoughts on joining the Fire…
"I'm happy for a new challenge," Larentowicz told Chicago-Fire.com Wednesday night. "It feels good to go to a place where you're in the plans. Frank has been very forthright in coming after and it's something I look forward to being a part of."
On his contentious years against the Fire…
"In the past in my time in New England the Fire were always our biggest rivals. We were very similar, very competitive teams that were hard-nosed. Its just kind of the nature of things that both teams had wanted to win in the past but now I'm part of the Fire and I still have that same competitive spirit that's going to come and work for Chicago."
On competition in central midfield…
"I'll be competing for a spot and its an opportunity to come in and show that I deserve to be in the lineup and that's what I expect. I know those guys from playing against them – they're all good players and I look forward to competing for that spot."
On ability to stay fit throughout the years…
"The way I look at seasons and playing is the more time you can be available and give the coach the option of playing you, the better off you're going to be and the more opportunity for good things to happen. I think over the past seven years I've been able to do that."
On being part of championship teams in New England and Colorado…
"On all the teams I've been on it was never that they depended on me but it was more of a collective thing and the way I view how I play and what I try to do. The Fire are a playoff team and always in contention. I hope to add to that and be a piece that helps take the team to the next level."
About this time last year I got Patrick Nyarko's pretty clear recollections of his 2008 MLS SuperDraft experience. I followed up a year later with some more in depth (and funny) questions about how he prepared personally for the day itself.
Jeff Crandall: How did you decide what you were going to wear to the Draft?
Patrick Nyarko: (Laughs) Back in 2008 it was easy enough. I just called my mom and asked her what kind of suit I should wear and I don't think I had any say in what it was…she picked it all out. I didn't mind because it made it all easier.
JC: What did you eat for breakfast that morning?
PN: I was actually supposed to get to the hotel the night before but it snowed heavily that night and so I drove up early in the morning and caught up with some of the other guys. I think I just had a regular buffet breakfast served up by the hotel – scrambled eggs, waffles, that kind of stuff.
JC: What thoughts were going through your head when your name was called eighth overall?
PN: It's probably the same for a lot of people but my main concern was not tripping when I got to the stage like Austin Berry did last year. After that it was about who I would be shaking hands with first on the stage. But it was really just don't do anything stupid – every step of the way I made sure I didn't fall.
JC: What advice would you give your future teammate that gets drafted by the Fire on Thursday?
PN: The work starts right now. You've worked hard to get to this spot – to be invited to the draft and have your name called -- that's a lot of fun. After that it's a lot of hard work, moving up from the college to pro level there's a lot more responsibility. As long as you're willing to work hard and with the coaches, you'll be fine.
JC: When you signed your contract with the league, what was the first thing you went out and bought?
PN: I think I bought a Mac Book. I had a regular computer before so I got a Mac. I'm not saying it was an upgrade but that's what I got... It was great.
On Monday I wrote a piece with Wells Thompson reflecting on his experience of getting heckled by Fire fans at the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. Perhaps more importantly, we also talked about the experience and what it meant for him to get drafted.
Wells is a talker and gave some good answers to a few other questions I couldn't fit in the story. Those are below…
What advice would you give to the players that will be selected in Thursday's SuperDraft?
"What's so encouraging is when you look in the league and look at a lot of guys that have succeeded and done well – Jeff Larentowicz comes to mind because I played with him for so long in New England and Colorado. Chris Wondolowski is another name. They both came through the Supplemental Draft and have had fantastic careers. There are a lot of big names that have succeeded and done well in the league after being picked at that stage.
"When I look at my situation, I was very fortunate to be selected by New England. At the time they needed an outside midfielder and the coaches were keen on the type of player and person I was. To a certain extent, it doesn't matter where you get selected in the draft. When you go into training camp, everyone's pretty much starting in the same place. Everyone has a clean slate and it's up to you to prove your worth.
"The wisdom I could give kids is no matter where you're drafted, go in and work hard because there are so many success stories of guys that were taken very low or not taken at all that have gone on to do big things in MLS."
To go from a college player with few if any accolades to the fifth overall selection in the SuperDraft, you must have raised your stock at the MLS Combine. What are your thoughts on that event?
"Yeah I did okay but the combine is such a different thing. Guys are getting together for just a weekend without practice. It's not the fairest assessment of a player's talents in my opinion. Your college career is probably the best judgment still on how a player would do in the league.
"What you can take a lot from those combines is seeing guys that don't shy away from the big stage and wanting to continue to prove to coaches and other players that they do belong in the league. For me it was a confidence thing -- I went down to the combine and realized I was as good, if not better than a lot of these players and I think that confidence showed throughout that weekend."
Ahead of the opening of the 2013 Combine on Friday, the SuperDraft "Big Boards" have begun to make their appearances.
MLSsoccer.com's Simon Borg, Matt Doyle and Jason Saghini ran through their initial thoughts on the first 19 selections for Thursday's SuperDraft.
Manneh (L) or Hurtado (R) could make for
interesting offensive projects
Simon and Matt both agreed on the Fire's choice at 11th overall, saying they thought Frank Klopas and Co. would select Generation adidas signing, Gambian forward Kekuta Manneh, while Saghini differed with his pick of midfielder Erik Hurtado from Santa Clara.
Having just turned 18, Manneh seems to be a wild card in this draft. During the 2010-11 U.S. Soccer Development Academy campaign, the 5-9 forward tallied 35 goals for the Texas Rush.
The closest teammate to him goals scored was Marco Molina at seven.
Manneh didn't play in the Academy league this past year but the then 17-year-old did suit up for the USL Premier Development League's Austin Aztex, tying for the team lead in goals with 10 in 12 games before adding three more in two playoff matches.
Hurtado is a bit more of a known quantity. The Beaverton, Ore. product was a four-year stand-out at Santa Clara where he was actually teammates with current Fire defender Jalil Anibaba in 2009.
The attacking midfielder led the Broncos in goals all four seasons, tallying 33 to go along with 20 assists over 76 matches.
The last two summers, he's suited up for the Portland Timbers U-23 PDL side, tallying an impressive 14 goals in 18 matches.
Elsewhere over at TopDrawerSoccer.com, J.R. Eskilson and Travis Clark projected the Fire to select Maryland midfielder John Stertzer 11th overall.
Maryland's Stertzer is another name in the Fire mix
A product of Oakton, Va., Stertzer tallied 25 goals and 14 assists over 79 matches between 2009-12.
Stertzer came into his own offensively over the last two seasons, bagging 21 goals and 11 assists and helped the Terrapins in their return to the NCAA College Cup this past December but is expected to take on more of a holding role in MLS.
What do you think of the three projected players? Certainly with two offseason additions in attack, none of the three may stick out to Fire fans on paper and all would seem to be sort of project players. Of course these are just initial lists and the Combine has a lot to do with the reshuffling of the draft order.
We'll be sure to keep up with the combine this weekend and the newest Mock Drafts to come out from it…
59 Days until Opening Night at Toyota Park
54 Days until First Kick in Los Angeles
12 Days until the First Team departs for training camp in Ave Maria, Fla.
These are important beginning of the year days but none are as close as the 2013 MLS SuperDraft in Indianapolis which is now literally right around the corner next Thursday, January 17.
With the event being so close to our fair city, Section 8 Chicago is running a bus to and from the SuperDraft for just $10 (departing Toyota Park at 7AM and returning at 9pm).
Admission to the actual draft is FREE and signups are beginning to go quickly.
So...get on the bus and you'll be the first fans able to greet (and indoctrinate) the newest member of the Fire like these folks did with the future MLS Rookie of the Year last year in Kansas City…
Convinced yet? Sign up here and see you in Indy!

Deep-fried turkey is an popular cooking option for Thanksgiving dinners. It's also a dangerous one.
The Minnesota State Fire Marshal issued a warning Wednesday, Nov. 21, to those who choose to fry their holiday bird: Pay attention, because it's dangerous.
On average, five Americans die each year from fires caused by deep fryers, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
The most common mistake is overfilling the deep-frying vat, which causes oil to spill over the edge and ignite, engulfing the entire unit in flames that are difficult to extinguish.
And placing a frozen -- or even partially frozen -- turkey into the vat can cause an explosion of hot oil, according to the fire marshal.
In fact, UL, an independent and global safety science company, considers turkey fryers so hazardous that it will not certify them for safe use.
U.S. fire departments respond to about 1,000 home fires each year that are started by deep fryers. In addition to deaths, those fires cause some 60 injuries and $15 million in direct property damage on average per year.
To avoid explosions and fire, follow these tips from the fire marshal:
-- Place the fryer outdoors on a flat surface, and never on a wooden deck or in a garage.
-- Fill a cold fryer with water and place your turkey into the vat to determine the amount of oil needed. Mark the water level well below the rim of the vat, and make sure the fryer dries thoroughly before filling with oil.
-- Oil and water do not mix. Avoid injury, and explosions, by thoroughly thawing and drying the bird before frying it.
To read the UL's take on turkey fryers, go to its website at www.ul.com and search "turkey fryers."

BOSTON (AP) — A Texas construction worker badly disfigured in a power line accident two years ago has received the nation's first full face transplant at a Boston hospital.
More than 30 doctors, nurses and other staff at Brigham and Women's Hospital led by plastic surgeon Dr. Bohdan Pomahac (POE'-ma-hawk) performed the 15-hour operation last week on 25-year-old Dallas Wiens (WEENS), of Fort Worth, Texas. He was listed in good condition at the hospital on Monday.
The electrical accident in November 2008 left Wiens blind and without lips, a nose or eyebrows. In Boston, doctors transplanted an entire new face, including a nose, lips, skin and muscles and nerves that animate the skin and give sensation. The donor's identity was not disclosed.
The new federal health care law helped make the operation possible. Wiens had no insurance when he was injured; Medicaid covered about two dozen surgeries until his disability payments put him over income limit. Because he's under 26, the new law allowed him to qualify for coverage under his father's plan, which will cover the expensive drugs he will need lifelong to prevent rejection of his new face.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The public school finance scenario for districts in Utah is a complicated one.
Funding for schools is a mixture of property tax dollars, fees, grants, federal revenues and different public or private monies. Even with the current complexity, educational finance in Utah could become more intricate in the future.
Three primary factors will affect the school finance situation in the state in the next 20 years. First is the population growth of the state.
Politics are next and the bent of Utah Legislature is important. The latest wrinkle is a law that will allow some cities to create school districts and decimate the ranks of some of the larger public school systems in the state.
Growth has been a problem for schools for 60 years. Since World War II, growth spurts have complicated the financing of schools, particularly in Utah's metropolitan areas.
At first, the growth was mainly around the Salt Lake City and Ogden areas, where returning veterans started families. By the 1950s, school districts like Granite, Davis and Weber were growing at a tremendous rate.
The growth continued into the 1960s and 1970s, with Jordan, Alpine, Nebo and Provo districts taking on a lot more students.
While large districts like Salt Lake City and Granite have actually decreased in student enrollment (Granite is down about 8,000 from 20 years ago), Jordan, Alpine, Davis, Nebo and now Washington County School District in the southwest part of the state are growing rapidly as open space in those areas quickly becomes housing tracts.
Projections show that by 2030 the area from Ogden to Provo will grow in population by 75 percent (from a present population of 1.9 million). With a high rate of people moving in, and the nations highest fertility rate, that part of Utah will grow dramatically. That kind of growth generates more taxes, but it also generates the need for more school services as well. And that growth can also drain off resources to other parts of the state that either don't grow or grow more slowly.
Presently Utah is 50th or 51st in the nation in almost every category of school finance. According to the Utah Education Association in 2003 total average per pupil spending in the United States was $8,019. In Utah it was $4,860. Breaking it down, Utah spent $3,123 on instruction per pupil (U.S. average $4,902), pupil support was $171 per student (U.S. average $415), staff support got $225 (U.S. average $391) and school administration received $297 per student (while the countries average was $453).
While this appears to be a total crisis, one must remember that the average age for Utahns is a little more than 27 years old. This makes the school-age population very large for the small total population of the state supporting schools with tax revenues. In 2005-2006 the largest district in the state was Jordan District with 77,369 students. The smallest district was Daggett County Schools with 156 students. Carbon had 3,389, while Emery had 2,335. Carbon is the 22nd out of 40 districts in the state in student enrollment.
The state's growth is being fueled both internally and externally. In the past most of Utah's population expansion came from the large families the state has. With between three to four children in the average household, kids grew up to expand the economic and population base. But in the last 10 years, in-migration has also expanded greatly as large companies move in and bring workers with them, and as new enterprises start.
While that growth will fuel tax revenues (such as this years billion dollar excess that the legislature had to deal with), it will also add costs for municipalities and school districts. As the cost of education grows, that cost could outstrip even the present spending per student in the state.
The second factor in the financial state of school districts will be up to the process of legislation. Each year when the legislature meets, they determine how much money public education will be allotted in the state. When the state's economy is going well, generally education gets somewhat near what they want from the legislative body; when it is bad the money is just not there.
Utah's legislature is generally a conservative one, due to the politics of the state. Many of the legislators often not only clash with educators and administrators on the needs for education, but also with the Utah Education Association, the most powerful lobbying group for public education on capitol hill. Depending on the politics, coupled with who is elected to legislative offices and who the governor is, education often finds itself at odds with the priorities of the house and senate in Utah's government.
Those facts alone will determine, in large part, how education is funded in the future. Add in the fact that the needs of the state will increase in terms of highways, social services and higher education as the population grows, and more pressures are exerted on the financial responsibilities held by the legislature.
Next, although not the final factor in the equation, but one that could affect education financing throughout the state, is that the legislature changed the law, and will now allow cities of the second class to pull out of existing school districts and create their own.
Up until 1980, cities of the second class had to form their own school districts when they incorporated. That is one of the reasons districts such as Logan, Ogden and Provo districts exist within the boundaries of much larger districts like Cache, Weber and Alpine. But in 1980 when West Valley City incorporated out of county areas formerly known as Chesterfield, Granger, Hunter and parts of Kearns, they would have taken a large part of Granite School Districts area away. So before that incorporation, the state passed legislation that precluded that from having to take place in West Valley City, which at the time became the third largest (population wise) city in the state. And West Valley City did not form their own district.
However, in the ensuing years, many have pushed to allow cities to withdraw from districts and form their own school entities. In the last legislative session the law was passed to allow first and second class cities to do so. Under the Utah code a first class city is one with a population of 100,000 or more while a second class city falls within the 65,000 to 100,000 population range. Third class is from 30,000 to 65,000 and fourth is 10,000 to 30,000. Price is considered a fifth class city with a population of near 10,000 because it falls between 1,000 and 10,000 in population. Any municipality that has less than 1,000 residents is considered a town.
However, now that the state has approved second class and above cities to form their own school districts, it could change some of the financing throughout the state. According to the new statute (Utah Code 53A-2-118.1, a city would have to conduct a feasibility study and get approval from voters to form the new district. According to the code even two or more cities, or part of the county could combine to form the new district, as long as all were part of one county.
There are a number of cities along the Wasatch Front that have been talking about doing this. Should that happen some very large districts could instantly become very small while some non-existent districts would come into being. The size of a district relates to many things. Recently the Salt Lake Tribune reported ("Utah's school districts; is smaller better?" July 18) that the Utah Office of Education did a study and found that financially the optimal school district would have around 43,000 students in it. But others involved in such areas as the actual education of students, curriculum and even maintenance of buildings might disagree with that analysis in terms of what they do.
One thing that would occur should new school districts be formed is a revamped administration in those districts. While teachers and other staff members, along with equipment and facilities, might be transferred to a new district under the state statute, all those new districts would need their own administration, including a superintendent.
How all these factors would affect Carbon School District would remain to be seen. Carbon itself could experience a growth spurt due to the energy industry taking off or some other factor. Politics in the state could change with public education becoming more of a priority than it already is. And the creation of new school districts, could affect the overall state funding dollars for schools across the state.
The outcome is unclear, but funding will continue in one form or another with minor and major changes made to the basic school program throughout the years.
Editors note: Today's story is the final installment of four articles on public school system finance.

Product Test: Popcorn Bowl
This is the Back to School Microwave Popcorn Popper. We bought the product at Target for $8.99.
The directions are very easy. Just put one third cup of kernels into the bowl and put the lid on top. Microwave the bowl for around three or four minutes and that is it. You end up with a bowl of perfect, fluffy popcorn.
We did not need any oil at all. Our tester, Ellen was a big fan of the product and gave it two thumbs up.
