Homemade Vegetarian Pizza (and Pizza Bites)
By Marni Sumbal
All the way down to the crust... get ready to make your own personal pan pizza! I just love pizza and I think I have found every way to enjoy pizza that isn't delivered to my door. Well, now I took it one step further. I made my own crust and it turned out amazing. It is one thing to take care of your body through physical activity but when you prepare the food in a special way in order for it to look pretty on your plate, you should take great pride that you are taking that extra step in taking care of your body. Enjoy my latest creation! This one is sure to re-fuel from your workout and will make you feel great about your healthy lifestyle!
Homemade vegetarian pizza
- Quick, easy and delicious...and cost-friendly for your healthy budget!
- This is perfect for parents who want to get the kids in the kitchen. If your kids (or you) have trouble eating veggies, chop the veggies really small before cooking.
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp corn meal
- 1 tbsp flax seed
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour (used at the end)
- 1 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water (heat water for 3 minutes in microwave)
- Seasonings: A dash of Italian, oregano, pepper and basil
Combine whole wheat flour, corn meal flax and yeast in a bowl. Add seasonings.
- Stir in oil and warm water until flour is well mixed (clumpy).
- Spray your clean counter (or large cutting board) with a squirt of non-stick spray.
- Knead dough for 5 minutes. After 3 minutes of kneading dough, add 1 tbsp all purpose flour until dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Toss dough back and forth in your hands to form a ball. Cover dough in a bowl (a towel work fine) for 10 minutes.
Use whatever toppings you want and however much you like. You can never go wrong with leftover veggies or too many veggies for your pizza. I suggest around 1/8-1/4 cup of each topping. These are favorites of mine:
- Chickpeas
- Onions
- Mushrooms
- 1-2 cloves Garlic
- Green pepper
- Jalepenos
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- While you are waiting for your dough, heat a non-stick pan to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
- Cook toppings until they are soft and golden (stir occasionally). Remove from heat.
Preparing pizza
You will need marinara sauce, spinach and shredded cheese.
- Take half of your dough and press in a round baking dish (lightly sprayed with non-stick spray or rub 1/2 tsp olive oil in baking dish). Be sure to press the dough from the center to the outside so that you form a nice, crunchy crust.
- Spread 2-3 spoonfuls marinara sauce on your pizza dough (sometimes I add a little salsa to my marinara sauce).
- Top pizza with toppings.
- Finely chop 4-5 spinach leaves and sprinkle over pizza.
- Cook pizza for 15 minutes, until crust is stiff and crunchy.
- Finish pizza with 1/8 cup of your favorite shredded cheese.
And what recipe is complete without mini muffins? How about pizza muffins?Pizza bites
- In a mini muffin pan, sprayed with a little non-stick spray, press a small piece of your dough (about a tbsp. size) in the muffin tin. Press down so that the dough covers the edges of each tin and there is space for your toppings in the center of the dough.
- Spoon a tsp or two of marinara sauce and add a pinch of shredded spinach, chopped mushrooms and cheese.
- Cook in the same oven as the pizza (450-degrees) for 5-8 minutes or until cheese is melted and dough is firm enough to remove from each muffin tin.
- You can be super creative with the mini muffins. You could do lean ham and pineapple, feta, pine nuts and spinach, tomatoes and spinach, veggie burger and cheese or just cheese and marinara sauce.
- These mini muffins will be perfect for your next party/event!

Seton Hall became the second Big East team to see its bubble popped today (literally...Gonzalez was so pissed...threw his skip-it) as the Pirates were handled by Notre Dame, 68-56, in a game that all but crushed their hopes of gaining an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament. A night after scoring 109 points in a victory over Providence, the Hall was held to just a point more than half that total.
The other big story of the night was the return of Fighting Irish superstar Luke Harangody, who had missed Notre Dame's last five games with a bone bruise. 'Gody quickly silenced those who had claimed his team is better without him on the floor - the Irish won 4 of 5 games without him - by coming off the bench four minutes into the game and recording 15 points and nine rebounds...at halftime. He finished with 20 points and 10 boards to lead all players in both categories.
Notre Dame moves on to face second-seeded Pitt tomorrow night at 7 p.m.
Over in the Big 12, Oklahoma gave credence to the belief that they had already shut it down for the 2009-2010 season by showing up in body only to be throttled by rival and No. 7 seed Oklahoma State, 81-67. OSU's Keiton Page hit 5-of-8 threes and led all scorers with 24 points.
The Cowboys get No. 2 Kansas State next.
In the only other game of semi-importance(?), Tulsa knocked off Rice 73-62 in a C-USA quarterfinal. The tournament might not be off to a rousing start, but I hear cocky freshman Darius Washington misses 2-of-3 free-throws with zero seconds on the clock and his team down two in the championship game. So that'll probably be worth tuning into.

I worked at a market-research boiler room years ago b/f caller id. If someone pissed us off, or sounded weird, or just because we were bored, we'd pass the person's phone number around the room.
I highly doubt it is the case, but just a thought.
Almost immediately after receiving my new VISA card in the mail, I began receiving calls from a number that showed up on my caller ID as 800-266-9420. The first few times, when I answered the calls, there was that weird mechanical pause, the one that tells you that the computer is alerting the telemarketing rep that they've got a live one. I waited patiently, and asked the telemarketer on the other end to tell me how they got my number.
They inevitably claimed to be calling on behalf of VISA. They couldn't tell me which VISA card they were talking about. At one point, I claimed not to have a VISA card at all, to which the rep responded "I don't care" and continued babbling from his script about all the rewards that I could earn, if I'd just keep listening to him babble.
I hung up.
The Pranking Begins
A couple of days later, I began receiving phone calls at the rate of four or five per day from 800-266-9420. When I would pick up, ready to give the telemarketer and earful about my number's presence on the Do Not Call list, they would hang up on me.
I'm not sure if it was retaliation for sure, but it sure felt like it. I had already rebuffed their unwelcome and unsolicited advances several times. And now they were calling at odd hours, in meetings. But they never said a word. The computer waited for my hello, and would then connect to a person (I could hear them breathing) and fnally, they would hang up.
I tried calling them back at the number appearing on my caller ID, but only got a busy signal.
I'm not alone in this experience. Go ahead and Google the phone number and you'll find all kinds of rants about it. I wouldn't even be blogging about it, except it started happening to a couple of friends the other day, so I thought I'd go ahead a post a little sum-sump'n on how to get them to stop.
Make It Stop!
If this is happening to you, first of all, I'm sorry.
Fortunately, someone at Who Called has done some sleuthing, and they discovered the number at which the company's managers can be reached.
When you call, they will answer with "Corporate", but the name of the company is allegedly "Platinum Rewards". I called and explained my situation, and the manager (Roxanne?) apologized and claimed that a computer glitch had caused the repeated calling and hang-ups. She also blamed it on young, inexperienced employees, but I seriously doubt that this is the case. I've had a lot of spam-type calls over the years, and none of them have hung up on me AFTER I've said "Hello? Hello? Oh, god, is this one of those stupid...."
The managers all seems quite nice, and if you want them to stop calling you, I recommend just calmly explaining your situation to them. Keep in mind that your information was given to them without your permission. Since I've called, I've been phone spam free.
It's hard to know how they get your number. I was initally convinced that VISA had sold them my info, but the manager that I spoke to told me that they received the info from "usage" meaning that a third party, such as a hotel that I had stayed at, had sold them the information.
That doesn't mean that I'm not filing a complaint against the company with the BBB of Clearwater, FL.
Platinum Rewards
Clearwater, FL 33764
I emailed Ben at Consumerist and he mentioned that filing a complaint with the Do Not Call site is also an option, although you have to have been on the list for 31 days before you can file.

I highly doubt it is the case, but just a thought.
i was getting 3-5 calls a day. in the morning, evening, weekends, all the time. i kept saying "lynn" wasn't home, but then i decided to just answer all the calls, wait until they finish the first part of their reading, and usually when they say something like "can i verify your address so i can send you information" i say "please take me off your calling list." they say "sure, ma'am." and now i don't get calls anymore.
Another thing, if you have happen to have an Asterisk(I use trixbox, which used to be asterisk@home) box, you can have it hang up on them or give specific numbers the 'disconnected' tone so that they think your line has been disconnected and then the computers automatically remove your number. It's the same concept as the telezapper.
This is EXACTLY why I created TeleSpank.com. To combat the constant onslaught of incoming telemarketer calls. ESPECIALLY the ones that target older, easily-influenced individuals. Granted, not ALL telemarketers are bad, but some of them are downright slippery they're so slick with their spiels.
Anyhow, if you want to feel vindicated for all your wasted time but don't want to take MORE of your time exacting revenge, TeleSpank.com is just what you need. :)
Kevin / The Spankster
I used to get calls from a 727 number all the time on my cell phone! The number was 727 683 1126. It got so bad that the police had to get involved, but since it was my cell phone they couldn't trace it or anything.
The new number for Platinum Rewards is 866-491-3930.
The 737-536-8800 is for a DeLosa's Pizza parlor now. The poor guy that answered the phone was very nice and said that he was getting many complaint calls a day from people upset with Platinum Rewards.
Thank you for the update, Don. I've removed the phone number from the article, since I suppose they can change it whenever they want.
The blackbery, Iphone, and some other telephones have call blockers, or call filters. Certain phone numbers can be auto-blocked if they call you. There are also applications that redirect numbers.
So, if a certain telemarketer is calling you repeatedly, if you get his number, you can set it so that the next time he calls you, it will auto-redirect into 911, or something like that. In that case, the telemarketer will get busted on their own.
I've got another number for you guys. I get them at least once a week and can never catch it in time to ask them to remove me from their list.
If your number is purchased from someone "affiliated" with the telemarketer, and you had a "business relationship" with that affiliate, i.e. you called them or bought something or pretty much had anything to do with them, then you can be called by the all of the affiliates of that company for one year from the business relationship's last transaction and DNC can't do anything about it.

As a former resident of STL and a structural design engineer, I was glad to see that the in-show version of the arch is still mostly intact. The art that's been shown in the ads and such show a version of the arch that has a gap near the top.

Hmm.... in the middle writing this^, I found
The kind of arch it is, if you take a big chunk out at 2 oclock, it will fall down, Murphy says, not quite coming up with the word catenary. The plating was ripped off during a Voton attack. The Arch miraculously didnt come down. It held together for a reason that is part of the shows mythology, but we wont find out why the Arch didnt fall until much later.
Rafe McCawley (Graham Greene), the richest guy in town, is a St. Louis native, and he wanted to repair the Arch, Murphy explains. The inner skeleton was beginning to show, and he worried that it was going to fall.
McCawleys own engineers tried everything they knew, but it didnt work, and the Arch was going to come down like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Murphy says, enjoying his story. The mayor Amanda Rosewater, played by Julie Benz said we have to go to the Votons for help if were going to save the Arch.
That actually interests me a bit more.
So there's a reason why the Arch is still standing, but they're not telling yet.

Last Thursday the office sought a sunny respite at Tonic, a neighborhood pub. The thought of roof-top dining superseded any reservations about the notoriously sub-par food.
I enjoyed basking in the sun while sipping on this diet coke which, judging by my post-lunch jovial buzz, may have been accidently rum-spiked.
Tonic offers a lunch special of ten dollars for a variety of plates. Hot in Hurr selected the tomato mozzarella panini
The Historian selected the spicy chicken wrap
while I went with the Greek country salad.
Definite emphasis on the earlier mention of sub-par food. Basking in the glorious sun definitely made the food taste better(and trust me, we did a lot of sun basking given the immensely slow service), however.
It was nice to relax a bit since we all worked the past two weekends. Canisters of iced coffee from Stumptown also fortified us for the weekends!
Hope everyone is having a great week:)

You No Decency?
sitting around Tuesday afternoon, thinking I had nothing to
write about, I was alerted to a court decision just handed
down by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals declaring the
FCCs punishment of television networks for broadcasting fleeting
expletives unconstitutional. Im like, Huh? Havent we been
here before?
Well, yes we havesort of. This is a case thats been bouncing
around the upper levels of our court system for a couple years,
and weve talked about it here a couple of times. Ive got
a feeling this wont be the last time, either.
The case involves George W. Bushs attempt to turn the FCC
into a Christianista strike force, to placate religious extremists,
like James Dobsons Focus on the Family, by trying to cleanse
the airwaves of anything remotely un-Christian. As part of
this crusade, the FCC dramatically raised penalties and started
going after networks and individual stations that aired any
dirty words, in ways they had never done before. In 2003,
the FCC issued around $400,000 in fines; in 2004, the FCC
issued over $8 million in fines.
The FCCs wrath in this case was leveled at a Cher fuck em,
a Bono fucking brilliant, a Nicole Ritchie cowshit, a
NYPD Blue bullshit, and an Early Show bullshitter.
These things all happened in 2002 and 2003.
Yes, weve seen this case before. The Second Circuit already
determined in 2007, in a thorough and delightfully snarky
decision, that the FCC had acted arbitrarily in suddenly changing
its standards for indecency, and therefore was in violation
of the Administrative Procedure Act, a federal law that governs
how agencies like the FCC operate. The Second Circuit didnt
look at the constitutional dimensions of the FCCs behavior
because it didnt have to. Theres an axiom in the courts
that a constitutional question should always be avoided if
a case can be decided on some other basis, and thats what
the court did. So the 2007 ruling goes to the Supreme Court,
which ruled (if you call a 5-4 decision with seven
separate opinions something resembling ruling) that the FCC
wasnt arbitrary at all. Or something. The plurality decision,
authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, essentially abdicated
a big part of the Supreme Courts responsibility to be a check
and balance on the executive branch, at least as far as the
regulation of individual speech goes.
In any event, whether or not the FCC acted constitutionally
was still up in the air, and that question came back to the
Court of Appeals, which ruled this week that the standards
now applied by the FCC for indecency on broadcast TV are unconstitutionally
vague. The 32-page decision is a good read. Its authored
by Judge Rosemary Pooler, who wrote the wonderful first decision
back in 2007. A good part of it is explaining to Scalia exactly
how he got it so pathetically wrong in the 2009 decision.
It lays down the gauntlet for why the Bush FCCs actions were
so bumbling, so deplorable, and why the freedom of speech
is so sancrosanct.
Here are some highlights.
The FCCs current standards are impossibly vague:
instance, while the FCC concluded that bullshit in a NYPD
Blue episode was patently offensive, it concluded that
dick and dickhead were not. . . . Other expletives such
as pissed off, up yours, kiss my ass, and wiping his
ass were also not found to be patently offensive. . . . This
hardly gives broadcasters notice of how the Commission will
apply the factors [regarding indecency] in the future.
On the basic futility of trying to regulate speech:
observation that people will always find a way to subvert
censorship laws may expose a certain futility in the FCCs
crusade against indecent speech, but it does not provide a
justification for implementing a vague, indiscernible standard.
If the FCC cannot anticipate what will be considered indecent
under its policy, then it can hardly expect broadcasters to
do so.
Poolers use of the word crusade was revealing, because
what the FCC attempted in the Bush years was just that. The
fundamental point is that when a speech regulation is vague,
speakers will self-censor to an extreme degree to avoid being
penalized, to societys detriment. The Court provided a bunch
of examples of how this is already happening.
One wonders if Obamas FCC will take this back up to the Supreme
Court, and if they do, why? The Supreme Court, as presently
constituted, has proven itself incompetent to deal with issues
regarding our fundamental freedoms. Unless, of course, youre

Igor (character)
Igor, or sometimes Ygor, is a stock character assistant to many types of Gothic villains, such as Count Dracula or Dr. Victor Frankenstein, familiar from many horror movies and horror movie parodies. Although Dr. Frankenstein had a hunchback assistant in the 1931 film Frankenstein, his name was Fritz. However, in the original Mary Shelley novel, Dr. Frankenstein has no lab assistant nor does a character named Igor appear.
Dwight Frye's hunch-backed lab assistant in the first film of the Frankenstein series (1931) is the main source for the "Igor" of public imagination, though this character was actually named "Fritz". The sequels Son of Frankenstein (1939) and The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) featured a character named "Ygor", played by Bela Lugosi. This character, however, is neither a hunchback nor a lab assistant, but a blacksmith with a broken neck and twisted back. He reanimates the Monster as an instrument of vengeance against the townspeople who attempted to hang him for grave-robbing. He survives a near-fatal gunshot and appears in the next film in which his brain is placed in the Monster's body.
Universal Pictures would actively cement the idea of the hunchbacked assistant to the "mad scientist" in the Frankenstein film series House of Frankenstein (1944) with J. Carrol Naish playing a hunch backed lab assistant named Daniel.
In the 1933 horror film Mystery of the Wax Museum, "Ivan Igor" is the name of the mad wax museum curator. The film was remade as House of Wax in 1953, but the name "Igor" was given to the curator's henchman (played by a young Charles Bronson) rather than the curator himself. Not a hunchback, the character is deaf and mute, and is portrayed as an unconditionally devoted servant.
In other media[edit]

- The cartoon series Count Duckula features the titular character's faithful old family retainer named Igor who is portrayed as an anthropomorphic vulture (hence the hunchback). Igor is a traditionalist and often schemes to convert his vegetarian master to a diet of blood as was the case with Duckula's previous incarnations.
- In The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Halloween Town's resident mad scientist Dr. Finkelstein has a hunchbacked assistant called Igor who acts rather canine working for "Bone Biscuits."

South Korea Detention Profile
South Korea's immigration control policy is characterized by tensions between the need for unskilled migrant workers, who have been actively recruited through a government supported program, and the objective of controlling the influx of unauthorized immigrants. The government stepped up efforts to curb undocumented migration in the early 1990s, but the lack of consensus between different political actors resulted in the hesitant implementation of restrictive policies. Beginning in late 2003, however, the government began to systematically arrest, detain, and deport irregular migrants (Kim 2004; Lee 2003).
Detention policy. There are two forms of immigration detention in South Korea: internment and detention for deportation (Immigration Control Act 1963, art. 51). Internment covers the period during which a person is investigated for suspected violations of the Immigration Control Act; detention for deportation occurs after the investigation has been completed and the detainee formerly enters deportation proceedings (Hwang 2009b). While detention under internment is limited to 10 days (with the possibility of one extension of 10 days), detention under a deportation order is not subject to time limitation (Immigration Control Act 1963).
Any person not in possession of a valid passport or seaman's pocketbook, as well as with a valid visa, can be deported from South Korea (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 7). When a person attempts to flee deportation, or is suspected of attempting to flee, he/she can be issued with an "internment order" (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 51). When there is insufficient time to obtain an internment order, an immigration control official may issue an "emergency internment note" to an immigration office or foreigner internment camp. An internment order must then be obtained within forty-eight hours, otherwise the detained person is to be released (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 51). Appeals against internment can be made to the Minister of Justice through the head of the office, or at a branch office or foreigner internment camp (Immigration Control Act, Art. 55). The act specifies that non-citizens can be interned for immigraiton-related reasons in a "foreigner internment room, foreigner internment camp, or other place as designated by the Minister of Justice" (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 52 (2)).
An immigration officer can issue a "written departure recommendation" with a specified departure time-limit to any non-citizen who has committed a minor offence or violated any part of the Immigration Control Act (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 67). When a non-citizen fails to comply with the written departure recommendation, he/she can be issued with a "Departure Order." A Departure Order can also be issued to anyone who enters South Korea illegally or who does not have the necessary documentation to remain; those whose entry permit provisions are revoked; anyone deemed deportable after being fined for negligence; and any person required to depart after receiving a notification. A time-limit of departure is specified with the written departure order, in addition to restrictions on residence and other "necessary" conditions (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 68).
An Immigration Control official has the power to execute a deportation order, and the head of the office, branch office, or non-citizen interment camp may authorize any judicial police official to execute a deportation order, which must be presented to the person subject to it before he/she is "repatriated without delay" to their country of citizenship, or country from which they came to South Korea (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 62). If immediate repatriation is not practically possible, a person can be detained until the deportation can be carried out (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 63). If repatriation is clearly found to be impossible, the person can be released with "necessary conditions attached," including restriction on residence (Art. 63 (2)). Temporary release of those issued with an internment or deportation order can be granted when a guarantor or legal representative applies and makes a deposit of guarantee money of up to ten million won (approx. $US 8,000), and with residence restrictions and other conditions (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 65).
South Korea became a party to the 1951 Geneva Refugee Convention in 1992, and in 1994, the government amended the immigration law to facilitate the asylum application process (Lee 2003). In 2009, the Korean Immigration Service issued a statement announcing revisions to the Immigration Law to enhance the refugee recognition system and facilitate the tracking of applications. In addition, asylum seekers are to be granted permission to work after a certain period (Gyu-geun 2009).
Victims of trafficking reportedly receive limited protection in South Korea, many of whom are lured into the country on "entertainment" visas. According to a 2007 NGO report, "[T]he government … created a provision in the Immigration Control Act that penalizes agents and employers who confiscate passports or certificates of inscription as a means of securing foreign females' financial obligations under the contract and payment of debt. However, under the same Immigration Control Act, if a migrant woman in the sex industry flees from the employer's unjust demands and human rights infringement, the employer will simply report that the migrant worker abandoned her workplace, and her stay will become illegal regardless of the circumstances" (MINBYUN 2007, p. 18-19).
Korea's immigration and detention policies have been subject to numerous criticisms. In 2009, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea (NHRCK) concluded that Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 9 Paragraph 2 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and Article 10 of the U.N. Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment are frequently violated during the arrest and detention process of irregular migrants in South Korea (NHRCK 2009).
South Korea's Migrants' Trade Union (MTU) has also been a strong critic of various government immigration practices. In 2007, the Ministry of Labour appealed against a Seoul High Court ruling that granted legal status to the MTU, and at the end of 2007, MTU senior officials were arrested and deported. Amnesty International accused the South Korean government of denying migrant workers the right to freely form and join trade unions, and on 25 March 2009, the Governing Body of the ILO adopted its Committee on Freedom of Association, supporting the rights of migrant workers in South Korea, regardless of status, to form and join labour unions (AI 2009).
Since March 2008, the government has reprotedly increased crack downs on unregistered migrant workers (NHRCK 2009) and has released plans to deport half of all irregular migrant workers by 2012 (AI 2009). Amnesty International has called on the government to ratify and implement the UN International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of all Migrant Workers and Members of the Families, as well as the core International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions on freedom of association, collective bargaining, and forced labour.
Detention infrastructure. According to the Immigration Control Act, foreigners can be interned in a "foreigner internment room, foreigner internment camp, or other place as designated by the Minister of Justice" (Immigration Control Act 1963, Art. 52 (2)). Undocumented foreigners who are—or are suspected of being—in violation of the Immigration Control Act are detained in an assortment of detention facilities. These include immigration detention centers ("processing centers") and detention cells at immigration branch offices. The Immigration Bureau, an agency of the Ministry of Justice, maintains two processing centers (in Hwaseong and Cheongju), which are used exclusively for detention purposes, and maintains detention cells in at least 16 branch offices: Seoul, Incheon, Incheon International Airport, Jeju, Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, Gimhae, Masan, Cheongju, Daejeon, Chuncheon, Suwon, Gwangju, Jeonju, and Yeosu (NHRCK 2005a; Hwang 2009a).
In addition, a transit-zone detention site is located in the Seoul airport. According to one source interviewed by the Global Detention Project, this facility is used to prevent people from entering Korean territory and there are many cases in which people have been held at this site for periods exceeding 20 days (Hwang 2009b). The same source said that there has been at least one case in which a person was "detained" by an airline at the airport because immigration authorities said the inadmissible person was the responsibility of the airline. The person was kept for an unknown period of time at an undisclosed location at the airport until the airline was able to put the person on a flight leaving the country (Hwang 2009b).
Lastly, there are two prisons in South Korea that are used exclusively for holding non-citizens for minor criminal offenses: the Cheonan Correctional Institution and the Cheongju Correctional Facility for Women (NHRCK 2008). Non-citizens who have committed serious crimes are imprisoned in other jails in South Korea that are not used exclusively for non-citizens. In certain cases, when the criminal offense is deemed grave enough, non-citizens can lose their residence status or have their visa revoked. In these cases, the non-citizen is transferred to immigration custody after completing his/her criminal sentence and confined in an immigration detention facility until deported (Hwang 2009b).
While all immigration detainees are under the authority of the Immigration Bureau and the management of detention facilities is the responsibility of the bureau, private security guards and public service personnel are sometimes employed in the facilities (NHRCK 2007b; Hwang 2009b). Immigration detention facilities are prison-like, using cells to confine detainees (AI 2006; NHRCK 2007a). Human rights groups report that detainees suffer physical and verbal abuse; overcrowding and poor sanitation (especially in Seoul, Suwon, Incheon, Yeosu and Incheon International Airport immigration offices); insufficient physical exercise; restricted communication with the outside world (including minimal visitor accessibility and in some cases censorship of detainee letters); and a lack of privacy, with constant camera surveillance (AI 2006; NHRCK 2007a; 2008; GONGGAM 2007). In addition, during the investigation process, detainees at times have been denied access to interpreters and forced to sign documents in a foreign language (AI 2006; GONGGAM 2007).
In February 2007, a fire at the Yeosu detention centre killed 10 detainees and left many wounded. Detention centre staff were criticized for reportedly spraying fire extinguishers through cell bars and not unlocking cell doors to let detainees flee. The incident caused public outrage, and was investigated by the National Human Rights Committee, which issued a series of recommendations on detention centre reform in a February 2008 report (NHRCK 2008).
Facts and figures. According to an unofficial estimate, in 2003 the country's total detention capacity was 1,300 (Van Volkenburg 2003). A survey conducted by the NHRCK in 2005 reported that the Hwaseong and Cheonju Immigration Processing Centers held 413 and 144 immigration detainees, respectively. Almost 40 percent of the detainees questioned originated from China, with the balance mainly comprised of migrants from Bangladesh, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Thailand, and Indonesia (NHRCK 2005a).
The number of irregular migrants in the country, except during the 1997-1999 economic crisis, increased substantially during the mid-1990s—from an estimated 80,000 in 1995 to 289,000 in 2002 (Park 2004). By 2002, undocumented migrants amounted to 70 per cent of South Korea's total foreign labour force (Park 2004). Despite the implementation of the EPS scheme (see "Detention Policy") and routine crackdown operations since 2003, the number of irregular immigrants remains high. In 2006, the Immigration Bureau estimated that there were 211,988 irregular immigrants living in the country, an increase from 180,792 in 2005, of which 18,574 were deported in that year (Immigration Bureau 2006; 2007). According to the Ministry of Justice, as of February of 2007 there were 208,271 undocumented migrant workers. After the introduction of the Voluntary Return Program in 2003, the number decreased from 298,000 in September to as low as 138,000 that year, but has been steadily increasing since then. The government arrested 97,736 undocumented migrants between 2004 and March 2007 (MINBYUN 2007, p. 7-8). The largest number of irregular migrants originated from China, including ethnic Korean Chinese (Seol 2000), with significant numbers of Bangladeshi, Filipinos, Mongolians, and Vietnamese also arrested (Kim 2004).
A total of 1,087 asylum applications were made in South Korea between 1994 and 2006, excluding North Korean "refugees" who are recognized as Republic of Korea citizens. Only 52 of these were granted asylum during that year (Park 2004). Most applicants originated from China, Myanmar, Nepal, and Uganda (NHRCK 2007b).

Police say horace napier along with a woman and her two young children were sleeping here when they came in to arrest Napier on two different warrants.
They cuffed him and put him in the back of the deputy's car.
But Napier didn't stay in police custody long.
"We were inside the building, searching the building and Mr. Napier called his son over to the car and had his son open the car door," said Deputy Robert Mathews.
Napier took off into the woods still in cuffs. Police pursued, but never caught him.
They did find a reason to take the children out of the building for good.
"We found drugs in several different places inside the church, needles, things of that nature."
All news that is deeply troubling to some in the community.
"Right in a church house, you know? That's where we grew up going to church. I can't believe it," said Bonnie Smith.
"The commodes had been used and not flushed and no food in there at all. I saw one empty package of ham and one empty loaf of bread."
Neighbors say the four had been living in those conditions without running water and electricity for weeks.
Police tell us the young girl appeared to have a broken wrist, with no wraps or bandages on it. Both children have been taken into protective custody.

Mark Cuban no longer cringing when he sees Mavs' centers shooting jump shots
From Mavericks beat writer Eddie Sefko
Coach Rick Carlisle has made it clear the Mavericks want to run, but he's also eager to integrate a new wrinkle into his offense, one that includes giving his centers some added freedom.
Both Kaman and Elton Brand have the ability to knock down the 16-foot jump shot, something that the Mavericks haven't had at the center position in years.
"I have to say it's the first time since I've owned the Mavs when I've walked downstairs and saw our centers taking jump shots and that I didn't cringe," owner Mark Cuban said.

Hispanic Workers Impact Increasing in Wisconsin
By Khrysten Darm
UW-RF News Bureau
A recent presentation by UW-River Falls dairy science Professor Dennis Cooper reflected a new reality in Wisconsin: 10 percent of its dairy workforce speaks Spanish.
Cooper spoke at a Hispanic Dairy Labor Conference recently in Kaukauna,Wis. His presentation was titled: "?Que Pasa? What is Happening with Hispanic Workers? Nine Ideas to Improve Your Success with Hispanic Employees."
Wisconsin is taking greater note of the importance of immigrant dairy workers, and institutions like UW-River Falls are responding. From June 17-28 it will offer Workforce English as a Second Language program. It provides basic training for tutors, who can then go out into the community or to a specific business to help workers learn basic survival English.
Cooper's presentation on Spanish-speaking workers was attended by 50 people, mostly dairy producers who employ Hispanic and Latino workers. Cooper's extension specialty is human resource management for dairy farmers. But with a dramatic increase of Hispanic workers in the dairy industry, his presentation now takes that into consideration.
"Instead of talking about local American farmers, the subject has changed to the management challenge of foreign workers, mainly from Mexico and Central America," he said.
Ten percent of the workforce in Wisconsin is Hispanic, and although a high concentration is in the southeastern part of the state, there are still Hispanic workers that come to larger dairy farms in this area.
"We are trying to serve dairy farmers and they need information on how to manage a multicultural workforce," Cooper said.
Cooper said language barriers are being overcome because of efforts to provide language training to both Wisconsin employers and Hispanic workers. Programs, such as Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, teaches Hispanic workers to understand and speak English. Community colleges and universities, such as UW-RF, offer Spanish instruction for dairy farmers, CD-ROM's, books and tapes are available, as well as classes for dairy producers to familiarize Hispanic workers with dairy terminology.
Cooper said that the biggest barrier in learning another language is the time commitment.
He strongly suggests that dairy farmers who employ Hispanic workers learn to speak Spanish, or have a manager learn the language to avoid the confusion that could arise when workers are doing the translating.
"It's an exciting challenge and potentially a culturally enriching one for both the dairy farmers and Hispanic workers," he said. "Both groups get to learn about another culture."
Katrina Larsen, program manager for the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, and the assistant to the dean of Outreach and Graduate Studies, helps with the Workforce ESL program. The class will be offered this summer, starting June 17 and lasting until June 28. Next semester the class will be offered over the 10-week period, and also will be broadcast on interactive television and transmitted to areas where there are a large population of non-English speakers. The class can be taken for credit as an undergraduate, or a graduate, or there is a non-credit option.
This class resulted from requests by area dairy operators who had non-English speakers employed at their farms. Over time and with the success of the program, the Dairy Workers ESL Project has expanded to include other industries, such as horticulture, manufacturing and food processing industries.
"We want to make non-English speakers more comfortable in their communities," Larsen said. "They learn very basic English to help them get around in their communities and will be helpful to them at work."
Larsen also said that it is a very rewarding experience for all three groups that are involved in the process. The tutors are pleased to be helping people, businesses are enthused to have their workers have more English knowledge, and the workers are happy because they are more acclimated to their surroundings.
The Workplace ESL Program is a collaboration between the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, and the College of Arts and Sciences, which houses the TESOL program, University of Wisconsin System Extension and University Outreach.
Anyone interested in receiving more information about the workplace ESL program can call the department of Outreach and Graduate Studies at 715/425-3261, or visit their Web site at www.uwrf.edu/outreach.

Choosing the Right Foam
Here is a list of the foams that we stock, with their density, compression rating and relative cost level:
|EPS (Expanded Polystyrene)
|EPP (Expanded Polypropylene)
|Dow Surfboard (Extruded Polystyrene)
Note: EPP foam compression ratings are measured at a deformation of 25%. All other foams are measured at 10%.
What type of foam should I use for my cores?
We cut cores from several types of foams and densities, and if you are new to using foam wings, foam selection can be confusing.
The Basics
Foam wings became popular in the 1960's when modelers quickly figured out that they made the job of building a tapered wing a lot easier. The first type of foam wings were constructed of 1# EPS foam that was covered with 1/16" Balsa sheeting applied with Epoxy glue or contact adhesive. This type of construction was popular for .40 and .60 sized glow engine R/C aircraft which ruled the sky of most R/C fields at the time. The finish was typically MonoCote or one of many heat shrink covering materials. Not surprisingly, this type of foam wing construction works well for many types of aircraft and is still very popular today.
Wing strength
Foam type relates to overall wing strength, but not necessarily the way you might think. In most cases, foam type is the least important of many factors as you will see as we get into the details.
Basic wing strength is all about tension and compression. When a wing is placed under load, the lift that the wing produces tries to push the wing up, and the weight/mass of the airplane tries to bring the airplane down. This results in increasing compression on the top surface of the wing, and increased tension on the bottom surface of the wing. In a typical wing that is built from spars and ribs, the tension strength comes from the wing covering, and the compression strength is provided by the spars. Primary failure occurs when the ribs that keep the spars in place crush, and the wing "kinks" like a piece of copper tubing that is bent too sharply. The use of shear webs between the spars helps to prevent this. The most popular type of shear web is thin balsa pieces applied between the spars with the grain running perpendicular or normal to the spars.
The primary strength of a foam wing is provided by the sheeting and covering. The foam gives the wing its shape, and keeps the sheeting in place, but most of the structural strength comes from the sheeting and covering. When a foam wing is stressed to the point of failure, it will also "kink" when the balsa sheeting caves in from compression. The failure is usually not a tension failure because film covering has an amazing amount of tension strength if it is intact and properly adhered to the balsa sheeting.
Another factor that controls the overall strength of a wing is its thickness. Thicker wings are stronger because the sheeting and covering that provides the basic wing strength are further apart. This is true for foam wings as well as built up wings.
Thin wings
As wing thickness decreases, so does its inherent strength, as the forces that try to compress the sheeting have more leverage on a thin wing. Higher density foam helps to keep the sheeting in place and helps prevent failure of the sheeting on the compression side of the wing.
"All right, I'll always use a high density foam," you say. Let's not forget that high density foam adds weight to a wing, and the thicker the wing is, the more of a problem this is going to be. If weight is critical, and it is on most things that fly through the air, a light weight wing is important.
Put a spar in it!! A popular solution is to add a tubular carbon spar in the center of the wing to increase it's strength. This is a quick and simple way to add strength, but it also adds weight. The weight increases not only by the weight of the carbon tube, but also from the glue used to adhere the spar to the foam.
A better solution is to use 2 smaller spars on the top and bottom of the wing. Spars that are placed close to the sheeting have the most resistance to compression, and inherently greater strength.
The best solution is a full-depth shear web spar, sometimes known as a "D-Tube." This consists of a vertical grain shear web spar with some carbon tow, or thin carbon strips on the top and bottom of the shear web. The carbon tow/strips keep the shear web from breaking through the sheeting when the wing is under heavy stress by spreading out the loads on the top and bottom of the shear web.
Most foams need some sort of covering as it provides the large portion of the wings strength and is a major consideration for foam selection.
Coverings include heat shrink plastics, shipping tape, balsa, plywood, obechi wood sheeting ,and various composites such as fiberglass, carbon fiber and aramid cloth. Combinations of all these coverings have been used.
Heat shrink plastic coverings such as Monocote, Ultracote and many others have been around for years, and were originally intended to be used as a replacement for silk and dope! Low heat versions of these coverings can be applied directly to most foams if the foam is covered with a light coat of spray adhesive. These coverings provide a tremendous amount of tensile strength, but no compression strength and all but the lightest and smallest airplanes usually use carbon tube spars to provide the necessary compression strength. This is a typical construction method that works well for Slope combat flying wings, but it does not scale up well for larger models.
Colored shipping tape is a cheap replacement for heat shrink coverings and will also provide high tensile strength if properly applied.
Wood coverings such as balsa, plywood, and obechi wood sheeting are common for many large and small models and provide high compression and some tension strength. These coverings are usually finished with Monocote-type plastic coverings or light layers of fiberglass or composite coverings and paint. This results in extremely strong wings with unlimited design and color choices.
Composite coverings of fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar cloth and resin are common on high performance sailplanes, gliders and commercial UAVs. They are also used on high-end scale and aerobatic aircraft. These coverings are used in a variety of ways, and are some of the most expensive material choices, but they provide the ultimate combination of strength and light weight.
All of the foams we stock and hot wire cut are compatible with Epoxy resins or Polyurethane glues such as Gorilla Glue or Elmer's ProBond.
Polyester resins will attack and degrade Polystyrene foam and should be avoided.
How do I choose the right foam?
Foam selection is dependent on the size of the model, type of covering, intended use and construction methods. Foam is produced in many densities, colors and types. Only a few types and densities are used in the modeling world.
Density is defined as the weight of 1 cubic foot of the material. In other words, a 12" x 12" x 12" cube of 1# density foam will weigh 1 pound. Higher density foams are harder to the touch and more rigid, but they weigh more.
The higher density foams are typically used in high aspect ratio wings that are relatively thin, like high performance thermal gliders. Powered pylon racers and even giant scale racers may also use 2# foam. Large models with thicker airfoil cross sections will work fine with 1# foam. The 1# foam is also used on most powered sport airplanes, trainers, and any airplane or glider where weight is a concern.

A Day in the Life of Waretown
Its proper name is Ocean Township (though, like its counterpart town to the north, it doesn't touch the ocean). And residents say the town is a well-kept secret.
Town avoids neighbors' rapid growth ... so far
On an cold and rainy March day, even the hardiest fisherman is ashore. Henry Tomko and Bob Brady, two retirees who moved from the Philadelphia area, didn't consider heading out to fish in the driving rain and forceful winds. But they did venture from their homes to meet at a local deli to grab a bite and discuss the "It's quiet. It's friendly," Tomko says of his hometown. "There's no hustle and bustle." "It's the best-kept secret," his friend, Brady, says. Yet it may be a secret no more. Although old-timers contend they have seen their town change, it has not had the building booms that have taken place in nearby Lacey, Barnegat and Stafford. Straddled by the town's two main arteries, Routes 9 and 532, the first large-scale planned community in Waretown is under way: U.S. Home's age-restricted Greenbriar Oceanaire development. The 888-acre development, which will take a decade to build and will eventually include a clubhouse and an 18-hole golf course, already has about 100 residents since opening last fall. Though it's safe to say Waretown will be forever changed by this development, old-timers say their home has already grown.

Ethiopian Air has record profit despite 787
Tewolde Gebremariam said Monday that his company is expecting a record profit with 20 to 25 percent growth in revenue and number of passengers.
He said Ethiopian Air would have been even more profitable, if it had not been for the grounding of its four 787 planes for more than three months. In January the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration grounded the aircraft after incidents with smoldering batteries on two different planes.
Ethiopian Air is seeking to be compensated by Boeing and has already notified the airplane manufacturer of the financial loss it incurred due to the grounding, the CEO said.

Parting Thoughts, for Now
This will be the last "On War" column, at least for the foreseeable future. I will (unexpectedly) retire from the Free Congress Foundation, where I have worked for 22 years, at the end of this month. Once I am reestablished, either with a new institution or in retirement, I intend to restart the column. When that will be I do not know. It also depends on obtaining connection to a telegraph line, which is not available everywhere.
After 325 columns, what is left to be said? Two points, I think, are worth noting in closing. First, since the Marine Corps Gazette article that first laid out the framework of the Four Generations of Modern War was published in 1989, events have largely followed the course it predicted. That is not to say I was right in all my predictions in these columns. Were my crystal ball that accurate, I would be a rich man. (Being rich, as a Rothschild once defined it, is being able to live comfortably on the interest on the interest.) But in broad terms, the theory has had predictive value, which is the test of any theory.
In particular, the theory's definition of Fourth Generation war has proven prophetic. Since 1989, the world has witnessed a progressive weakening of the state and rise of alternative, non-state primary loyalties, for which a growing number of men are willing to fight. That is the heart of my definition of Fourth Generation war. As Martin van Creveld says, what changes is not how war is fought, but who fights and what they fight for.
Other definitions of 4GW, including defining it as just a new name for insurgency, miss the mark. Fourth Generation war is more than a buzzword. It is the biggest change in war since the Peace of Westphalia.
The second point I would close with is that the U.S. military doesn't get it. Some European militaries do get it. Many Fourth Generation entities (not all) not only get it, they are writing the book. But the U.S. military is largely an intellectual void. Its two implied (and related) theories, that wars are decided by comparative levels of technology and by who can put the most firepower on targets, have both been proven false. Were they true, we would have won the Iraq and Afghan wars quickly. In fact, the Pentagon was so blinded by its false theories it thought we had won them quickly. Sorry, guys.
While many junior and field-grade officers in the U.S. military have found value in the Four Generations framework (which says that American armed forces are not one, but two generations behind), the brass studiously ignores it. "Not invented here" is part of the problem, but the larger part is that our major headquarters think little if at all about war. What they think about is money. 4GW does little to justify bigger budgets. On the contrary, it suggests that most "big ticket" weapons programs are irrelevant to where war is going. That is not what the brass, or the defense companies they plan to work for after retirement, want to hear.
What might change that picture? Nothing will change in DOD until the money simply isn't there anymore. The news, which is simultaneously good and bad, is that the money soon won't be there. Like every previous imperial power, we are bankrupting ourselves. A trillion dollars here and a trillion dollars there, and soon it adds up to real money. The twin financing mechanisms of piling up debt and debasing the currency can only go on so long. We can already see the night at the end of the tunnel.
There is no better way to end this series of columns, at least for a while, than to recommend a book. The best book on where America now stands and where it is going is J. H. Elliott's The Count-Duke of Olivares: A Statesman in an Age of Decline. Olivares was what we would now call the prime minister of Spain in much of the first half of the 17th century. His era saw Spain go from "the only superpower" to a downward plunge that lasted three centuries. Unusually, the more one looks at the details, the more the parallel holds. Then, as now, the root problem was the same: the court was controlled by interests that lived off the nation's decay. Consider the book Scrooge's recommendation for good Christmas reading.

I will miss Mr. Lind's brilliant and unique analysis. Students of war in future centuries should read Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, and Lind.

I would like to thank Mr. Lind for his years of tireless effort towards
raising awareness, of 4GW, and military reform.
I wish him the very best in his future endevours.
I'm a liberal antiwar Democrat who agrees with much of what Lind writes, and I'll miss his column.
Good luck with whatever choices you make.
Mr. Lind, your articles are always chocked full of the wisdom of the ages. I just wish that the morons in Washington would follow it. Your voice will be sorely missed. I look forward to reading more of your articles in the near future; that is, if we actually have one.

With the whole opinion class and the mainstream media touting OUR occupations and telling us how wonderful they are, I guess he was the square peg in a world of round "HOLES" Look how the oil contract sales in Iraq went…. Was it the booty of war or the bust of hubris we saw at those auctions..?? And there is the Gordon Brown "1OO,OOO children "saved" by the NATO occupation…..

Don't be so pessimistic about the US being trapped in the 2nd gen. We have private contractors run by religious fanatics and in possession of heavy weaponry. I smell potential.
Mr. Lind, we will be lost without your insight and encyclopedic knowledge of matters military.
I am out driving around in my truck "finding" spools of wire [I'll start gettin poles tomorrow] so i can rig a telegraph to your new digs, wherever they may be.. Life just will NOT be quite the same if we don't have you to blow the whistle when the politicians start talkin trash about military matters, deployments and such… In a way you are the chief engineer here at antiwar.com. You understand the workings of the military machine which we here believe has been hijacked to do work which is of deleterious benefit to America and the world at large. Your assistance to our understanding of these matters is a cornerstone of our feeling of the fidelity of our view and our cause… You are more than needed here, and at Lew Rockwell.com, you are essential to our efforts…. This unexpected whack on you serves to illustrate the long arm of those who wish to keep men like you from tellin us like it is FROM the inside.
I know when the dust settles you will pick yourself up and get to it again…. Your work here is not done and we all hope it's only just begun!
The "telegraph" comment comes from his pretense of writing these columns from the perspective of a general field marshal writing to his boss, Kaiser Wilhelm II. See http://www.lewrockwell.com/lind/lind84.html
His unique voice will be missed, and I hope he finds a position that allows him to continue writing soon.
Six weeks later and no word from Gen. Lind…. I, we, await your assessment sir…. How shall we press on without your reports to guide us..??
The last but i wish will not be the least.
Can I just say that over a year and a half later I am really missing Lind's insights, even if I didn't always agree with his assessments of culture, there was nothing else like him.
Thank god Breivik had this brilliant thinker to guide him in his murdurous terrorist rampage in Norway-but he's anti war and likes trollies-it's just too bad he's a Nazi loving piece of garbage.
Eric, here we are 22 months later and no word from the master for quite some time… Check out this: http://donvandergriff.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/12…
Mr. Vandergriff wrote: "My friend Bill Lind is exactly right about the decision to go into Afghanistan
through a new "surge" as those who run the military through think tanks and key generals are calling the reinforcement of the campaign. But, it is really about lack of strength of character or the moral courage to do what is right for the long term health of our nation. Again, I go on record. In my 2002 book, Path To Victory: America's Army and the Revolution in Human Affairs, I state that due to the culture of our country and Army, long term occupations of other nations is not good operational art. It is worse when it is a Christian army in a Muslim country. I am all for quick strikes, as we did in October 2001 with Operation Enduring Freedom, but why stay? Get in, kick their ass, put whoever is most friendly to us in power, leave a calling card, and then depart.
But, war means business and business is good for the establishment to keep the war going, at the cost to the rest of us, in losses to our Soldiers, wounded veterans that we should care for, but at an alarming rate, and feeding the recruiting abilities of extremist groups as we continue to fix global issues through the point of the bayonet while pushing our corporations into unfriendly areas to feed our own obesity."
For reasons only Bill could know, we hear nothing from him…. Was he "shut up'" or did he just [intellectually] fade away from the frey… or just tire of the strife…??? I'm still searching for his thoughts…. We miss you Sir..!! email@example.com

Learn about Northwest noir at the library
September 21, 2010
By Laura Geggel
The wild Pacific Northwest can pull at any artist's imagination, whether that artist is a painter, writer, photographer or unsuspecting hiker.
The region's gloomy winters, dense forests, rugged mountains and deep Puget Sound act as an ideal backdrop for mysteries, thrillers, UFO sightings and legends. Ask any "Twin Peaks" fan who has visited the Snoqualmie Valley, or any "Twilight" reader who has journeyed to Forks to see the setting of the novels detailing the lives of vampires and werewolves.
North Bend art historian Susan Olds will present "Northwest Noir: Mysteries, Legends and Landscapes" at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at Issaquah Library, 10 W. Sunset Way.
Her talk will delve into American Indian legends and art, Sasquatch sightings and stories, and unexplained mysteries, as well as contemporary art and novels set in the Northwest.
Sasquatch, in particular, intrigued Olds.
"What I found interesting is how many sightings have been recorded," she said. "Loggers and Caucasians have their myths, but it actually goes back to the Native Americans."
Skamania County, in Southwest Washington, has an ordinance banning Bigfoot hunting.
After doing research for her presentation, does Olds believe in Sasquatch?
"I suspend my disbelief. It's such a wonderful myth," she said, but "without any identifiable remains, there is no evidence to prove he really exists."
Even with a skeptical mind, she had fun researching UFO sightings on Mount Rainier and learning about Princess Angeline, the eldest daughter of Chief Seattle, whose ghost is rumored to frequent Pike Place Market.
With a graduate school degree in art theory and contemporary art, Olds gives art lectures regularly at King County libraries. During her presentations, she invites her audience to ask questions or offer their own interpretations of material.
King County Library System Public Programming Coordinator Deborah Schneider said curiosity for Northwest noir was apparent among Issaquah's populace.
"Look outside the window," she said, gesturing toward the gray rain falling outside. "The Northwest is a spooky kind of place."
Those with library cards can check out books and movies librarians will set out on tables during the free presentation.
"There is a whole interest in paranormal, mysterious things," Schneider said.
Olds said people might learn something about themselves by coming to the lecture.
"I think you do become a product of your environment, no matter where you are," she said.

It is surprising to hear that there is "no evidence to prove that [Sasquatch] exists." The numerous eyewitness reports spanning more than a hundred years, more or less unanimous in their account of behavior and physical details, the photographs, the motion pictures, the footprints (complete with micro-whorls and scars, identifying unique individuals who move great distances and show signs of age), the "unknown primate" DNA, the spoor, the nests, the sound recordings, the hair (Sykes, Sumerlin, Coon, Davies, Fahrenbach), the fossils of a comparably supersized ape (Gigantopithecus), the conformance to size variance models of animal physiology (big animals in colder climes, smaller animals in warmer climes) — if Sasquatch was on trial, the forensic and eyewitness evidence would convict him. Skepticism is valid and warranted when approaching elusive and extraordinary phenomena, and yes, there have been hoaxers (most of them pathetically transparent), but the flat statement "no evidence" is stranger than Sasquatch.

You're certainly listed a lot of items, from movies to DNA. Unfortunately, listing doesn't make it so. Every single item you listed has been demonstrated to be either frauds or easily explained without resorting to Bigfoot claims.
The frauds include the famous Patterson movie and the 2008 Bigfoot-in-a-freezer scam (it was a costume). Footprints — all hoaxes or bears. DNA: human or bear or other animal. Oh, and sound?? Bwahaa! You've got to be kidding. Someone has strange sounds? Wow. I can make weird growly sounds, too.
Nothing mentioned above has ever been confirmed. Zero. The final nail in the coffin is the fact that not a single body or skeleton of said creature has ever been located. Yet David says there have been "numerous eyewitness reports" for more than 100 years. If this creature has been cavorting in the woods for centuries, sorry, there would be some bodies. And not a single one has been found. Nor has there been any other evidence.
