Monyash (/muhn-ee-ash/ munyash) is a small village in the limestone southern upland of the Peak District in Derbyshire about five miles west of the market town of Bakewell. It is in an area popular with walkers exploring the network of footpaths around the hills and dales. Centered on a traditional village green, the village, with about 280 inhabitants living in around 145 houses, lies about 900 feet above sea level at the head of Lathkill Dale.[1] Tourism and farming (milk, beef and lamb) are the predominant activities of the village. The area has a reputation for beautiful scenery, pleasant walks and a peaceful environment. This tranquillity contrasts with the village's vibrant past as an important meeting place around 2000 BC, later as a watering point for drovers' animals at the intersection of several trade routes, and, for over 700 years, as a busy industrial centre supporting the local lead mining industry.[2]
People have been living in and around Monyash since Neolithic times (3750-1750 BC) and probably before then. The nearby impressive stone circle and henge, Arbor Low, was likely built around 2000 BC by people living in the village who also farmed the relatively fertile soils at the head of Lathkill Dale.[2]
The village can attribute its existence, and its name, to water. Lying underneath the centre of the village is a narrow band of clay deposited during the Ice Age. This resulted in pools of standing water, a highly unusual feature in a limestone area. Over time meres (ponds) were fashioned into the clay by the villagers that enabled life before piped water.[2] Only one remains today, called Fere Mere, which is situated behind the Primary School.[3]
The Domesday Book of 1086 names the village as Maneis, a berewick of Bakewell[4] and owned by the King.[5] The name Maneis means "many springs or waters".
In an Anglo-Saxon tumulus on Benty Grange Farm, in the south of the parish, the famous Benty Grange helmet was discovered in 1848.
During the 14th century Monyash prospered from the mining of lead and with the granting of a charter for a weekly market. Indeed over the next few hundred years Monyash grew into a major lead mining area with its own Barmote Court.[6] Besides farming, other activities included limestone quarrying and marble polishing. As a result of all this activity, by the middle of the 19th century, Monyash was a busy place, with a population of some 500 inhabitants, almost twice what it is today, with a wide range of trades including blacksmiths, cobblers, butchers, wheelwrights, wool merchants, joiners, dressmakers, shoe makers, and five pubs.[7]
Buildings and structures[edit]
St Leonard's Church, the parish church, was founded sometime between 1100 and 1192. It has a Norman piscina and sedilia.[1] The building is a patchwork of additions and developments. The major enlargements took place around 1199, 1250, 1348 and 1370, followed by two major restorations in 1886-1888 (by William Butterfield) and 1996-2006. The church also contains a 15th-century font.[8] Today the church is a grade II* listed building of national importance.[2]
John Gratton (1640–1711), who lived in Monyash for 34 years, encouraged the development of the non-conformist movement, and from the late 18th century the village became a Quaker stronghold, often visited by the Radical Quaker statesman, John Bright. Many of the lead mines were in fact operated by the London Lead Company, a Quaker firm.[9] On his death, Gratton left his cottage and some land, the cottage becoming the Friends' Meeting House, the 'Quaker Chapel'.
The present Methodist Chapel was built in two parts. The original Primitive Methodist chapel was erected in 1835 and is now the church hall. A new Primitive Methodist Chapel was joined onto it in 1888.
On the village green are the 'King' and 'Queen' trees, planted to celebrate the Coronation of King George V and Queen Mary in 1910.
The Pinfold, a pound, is located on the edge of Monyash, on the road towards Flagg. Stray cattle and sheep were rounded up by the Pinder into this small walled enclosure, from which they could be retrieved, after payment of a fee.[1]
Today there is only one remaining pub (the Bull's Head), which dates from the late 17th / early 18th century. There is also a cafe (The Old Smithy Tea Rooms), and there are Public Toilets on the Bakewell side of the village, nearer Lathkill Dale.
The village has a newly refurbished play area which was designed by children from the local school.
Monyash also participates in the local custom of well dressing.
It has a school, a pub (The Bull's Head), a church, a chapel and a Quaker Meeting House.
The prehistoric Stone Circle Arbor Low is also just 2.8 miles from the village.

Driving into Baltimore for the Preakness, the sports-talk radio station announcer delivered a perfect summation of the problem with Adam Eaton.
There are several other problems, of course, most of which have to do with Eaton's inability to retire major-league hitters -- something Phillies' fans are well aware of -- but radio guy Marc Unger really captured the issue.
He captured it on the heels of a 10-hit, 7-earned run outing for Eaton that boosted his already plump earned run average to 7.93 for the season.
"You know," Unger said, "this guy shouldn't have sideburns. I mean, who is he to have 'a look?' You've got to be able to pitch before you're allowed to have 'a look.'"

Date of Stay: December, 2012
$36 reflects weekly rate with no cable TV. Santee Lakes is a day-use county park with RV slots. The entrance is at an administration building with no sign for the RV park. Then, a mile drive to a gate where the lane for registered RV users is too small for a 40' so we lost some tire sidewall. The park is infested with ants. Yesterday, a coyote walked right up to our RV. The man-made lakes are small, dirty, smelly and overrun by ducks and duck excrement. This park appears to be a favorite a local, large weekend groups with small travel trailers; families who ignore their many kids who play everywhere except their own site, rather than being designed for large motorhomes. We awoke each day to the sound of a noisy motorcycle being warmed up by an apparent full-timer. Signage within the park is not good contributing to people driving the wrong way on one-way streets, and there are no site escorts.
Date of Stay: December, 2012
$29 reflects weekly rate. This RV park boasts natural beauty. It is nestled in the Southern CA mountains with 360 views from its walking trails. It is the most quiet RV park we've ever visited. The whole park is on level hard-packed sand with asphalt drives. The immediate area is wineries, fruit orchards and horse farms. There are a few exotic animals and a small catch and release fishing pond. Cell phones don't work here but the office provides access 24/7 to a phone. Wi-Fi was slow at our site. Our DISH reception was great and we got all the local Los Angeles TV stations from our antenna. There's an adequate camp store. Park is managed by work campers. We were not allowed to keep our dirt bikes at our site; a rule to minimize noise (although our dirt bikes are so quiet; quieter than the work carts used by park personnel). We will return to this park.
Date of Stay: November, 2012
$35 per night reflects weekly rate. Easy access from I-40 and I-15. Nice tall trees and bushes in-between sites; very private; good picnic table. Pea gravel sites are very level. Close to 2 diners (less than one mile away); more services 5 miles south on I-15 in Barstow. KOA has a good-sized camp store. Staff is friendly. Free Wi-Fi was too slow to use. We enjoyed the close proximity to Rainbow Basin, a must-see of multicolor rocks, and Mule Canyon where we rode our dirt bikes. Nice pet walk area although it appears a dog peed on our newly-washed Jeep's wheel. We did not visit Ghost Town but it was close and the KOA looked like a much nicer campground than the Ghost Town campground. Highway noise not too loud. We enjoyed gorgeous views, sunrises and sunsets. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: November, 2012
This was a second visit to this park conveniently located on route 40. Check in was not good this visit. The check in person alleged the slot we had on our last visit, and its whole row that was supposed to accommodate rigs our size, was full. Our old slot, and its whole row, was actually empty as was most of the park. We were presented with reasons as to why every other slot would NOT work for us such as bad Internet, stickers in the landscaping that hurt paws, and too short. The guy on the golf cart who directed us to our slot directed improper positioning on the slot which was tight for our 40' motorhome. They insisted we unhook before parking which was complicated for us as we tow 2 dirt bikes and a Jeep (yet every person who checked in after us was allowed to unhook at their site). This park looked better in the Spring when the trees were in bloom. The location is great; near a Camping World, a couple Wal-Marts, fast food and proximity to downtown Albuquerque. The continental breakfast is lame, but better than nothing. The park brochure listed a mobile RV wash. With tip, we paid $420 for a wash and wax for our 40" motorhome which we were happy to get on short notice. We would stay in again.
Date of Stay: November, 2012
This park is different; think it was a former dude ranch. Our GPS incorrectly took us in on a very dirty, dusty road off highway 84. When we got to the park entrance, we saw the paved road we should have taken in from a little further North off highway 84. This old ranch had a number of buildings for hosting events; barnyard animals, a helicopter that came and went a few times and a lot of dust. We never saw nor spoke to park management. An answering service takes the calls and encouraged us to just show up as they usually have sites available. We simply left cash in the night drop and chose our own site which was pretty level. The dirt roads inside the park had potholes that we were able to negotiate OK. Except for the helicopter, that was interesting to watch, it was very quiet. I would stay here again if my RV was already dirty. I would not stay here in a clean RV nor arrive in the dark as it would be hard to avoid the potholes and figure which site would work for a big rig with towed.
Date of Stay: November, 2012
No frills, easy access from highway, level sites, convenient to Palo Duro State Park. Wal-Mart and grocery store are about 5 miles away and most other big retailers are within a 15 mile drive on the Interstate toward Amarillo. In November, the park was empty. The permanent resident living was OK. I would stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
Our visit was after Labor Day and before the park's 10/15 winter closing hence the $28 rate. Level sites, lots of trees, great camp store, OK satellite access. Great walking trails in pine forest and seasonal site area with pond and lake, which were homes for duck families. Management was very professional and invited us to their annual party for seasonal customers (we stayed 9 nights). Great location for Wisconsin Dells attractions, Wal-Mart, grocery, etc. I would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
$19 per night reflects weekly rate. This is a nice, small, quiet, level, gravel and grass campground right off route 90 without highway noise. The campground is surrounded by farms. Downtown Mitchell, complete with Wal-Mart, grocery store, diesel and the Corn Palace, is about 6 miles away.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
This is a small, friendly, level, grassy, reasonably priced campground located right off route 90 surrounded by corn fields. There is good shade from mature trees. Welcome is a small, cute little town in walking distance of the RV park without a lot of shopping. About 8 miles east, the town of Fairmont offers a Wal-Mart, grocery store, liquor store, health club, mini-mall and pretty much any other product or service one might need. The spaces are wide and views of thecorn fields are pleasant. While we can see route 90, highway noise is not a problem. There is a train but the train whistle did not blow during the night.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
This park is wooded, on a river and a great place to relax. Unlike many RV parks that utilize every inch in order to jam in the maximum number of RVs, Spruce Park allowed a good amount of grass between spaces and an undeveloped grass common area with a few picnic tables along the river. The view toward the river looks toward mountains surrounding Glacier Nat'l Park. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. They allow RV washing. I would recommend Spruce to anyone looking for peace and quiet and a place to unwind. Fortunately, neither of our neighbors smoked, had yappy dogs or noisy kids. While not too far from the highway, the highway noise was not loud or constant enough to be offensive. I would seek this park out for a return visit.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
This RV park feels like a camp with beautiful, old, 150' tall pines with a great view of Mt. Rainier and driving distance to Mt. St. Helen. The park is close to many dirt roads and trails in Gifford Pinchot Nat'l Forest. The park is within walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store with two gas stations that sell diesel. For a minimal fee (in the summer) you can swim and golf at the local country club a couple miles away. There are great photo opportunities here; from the elk to the river behind the park. The park manager was very helpful providing information about our interests.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
This is a well-kept park with small shade trees on some sites. You can walk to the end of the park to sit at the river's edge. Wal-Mart, Starbucks, HEB and many stores and food opportunities are within walking distance. Main Street (about a 1 mile walk) to downtown Bastrop offers numerous dining opportunities (try Maxine's for local flair and Ramos for the best frozen margarita). The only negative about this park is the constant road noise as the park is located under the Route 71 bridge.

foolish ad
desperate desperate romney is going down.
Romney is the future president of the U.S.A.
Pressure breaks pipes - and campaigns. Of course it would have to happen sooner or later, the auto thing is a wall Romney simply cannot break through with even bigger whoppers.
This is like releasing an ad that he, Romney, had ok'd taking out bin Laden.
He is going to go down ugly, but definitely going down. Not to mention more than a third of Ohioans have already voted.
Some one should ask Mitler what he did with GM's part division Bane bought.
That Romney is a felon, draft dodger, tax dodger, liar and not fit to be the next President of the US, but he is not lying about Chrysler being owned by FIAT and just another bailout company having manufacturing and assembly plants in China.
How much does GMAC (now ALLY Bank) still owe the American people? OH yes, they will finance the JEEP for Chinese in China. FIAT spokesman did not make a statement about Chrysler not going to China, since they own them now and Americans have no say as to where they will go with their next plant.
Auto bailout was Union Pension bailout, pure and simple! Ask the employees of Delhi is they got a pension bailout?
In other words, this a-hole is LYING AGAIN! And flat-out lying after Chrysler told him he was wrong. The so-called journalist fails to state the basic facts: Mitt Romney is a desperate liar trying to lie his way into office!
Don't worry Obamabots... the Obama/Biden campaign is sure to counter this ad with an ad featuring a female Obamabot talking about doing it in the back of a Fiat.
Can Chrysler sue Mitt Romney's campaign? They should really threaten to sue him. This has gotten just too far out of hand. Mitt Romney is the worst nominee for president that I've ever seen from either party. I've never seen a candidate lie as easily and boldly as he does.
If you thought you were winning, you would never do something that smells utterly desperate.
Romney is a shape shifter. He opposed the "bailout" of the auto business now he pretends to be its friend. He is no friend of either the auto business or American workers. He still to this day brazenly refuses to release his tax returns and the only reason for this is that there must be something either illegal or damaging sitting there that would knock him out of the running for President.. He is a waffler exraordinaire with no backbone and if he is elected by some quirk will quickly prove to be as bad or worse than George Bush.
Some years ago the people in our country decided to elect Richard Nixon. How'd that work out for them? A crook with a paranoid personality problem he proved to be a criminal. Albert Einstein once famously said that insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Let's hope that the electorate has learned something since the says of Mr. Nixon and retains a modicum of its sanity.
The survey was commissioned for National Geographic Channel's series Chasing UFOs, premiering Friday at 9 p.m. ET.
AS for polls, the WSJ should take heart from a survey of Americans beleifs in UFOs. Nearly 80% beleive the government has kept information about aliens a secret from the publi
About 79% of those surveyed think the government has kept information about UFOs a secret from the public and more than 50% are certain that real-life Men in Black-style agents who threaten people who spot UFOs.are out there. President Obama could take solace in knowing that almost 2/3 thought he could deo a better job of handling an alien invasion than Romney. Now if that isn't a resounding chorus of support I don't know what is!
All this tells that Romney will sell himself for money to get elected. Such people are basically soulless and cowards,have no morals who should not be elected. It is time to make sure such politicians do not get elected. Enough is enough. Cheers.
he is a liar...Romney is the one who has out sourced alot of the American jobs when he was governor here in MA.... its sad to see how much his morals have went down hill after running for president....shame on him
If Mitt wasn't desperate, he'd never have to lie so much. And if conservatism were winning the day, Mitt wouldn't have to hide as a "moderate" at the last minute to scrounge up votes. The public rejects the wingnut ideology and we all know this. Notice how Mitt turned into "Me too Mr Magoo" at the last debate? Essentially agreeing with Obama on everything? LOL
Mitt will lose Ohio, even with all his scare tactics & LIES. He'll lose Iowa, WI, and looks like even Virginia!! wow Cannot wait for his liar's concession speech.
Another example of how Mitt Romney will say anything to get himself elected. Even if it completely contradicts what he said just a few months ago. This guy really has etch'a'sketched himself this far...
Romney's ad is completely counterfactual, i.e., full of whoppers. There is no plan to shift Jeep manufacturing to China. In fact, the Defiance plant is undergoing a significant expansion and will hire more workers. The Romney campaign is relying on voters to be too stupid to learn the facts.
Obama's hand is in Chryslers back pocket, thus the statement from Gualberto Ranieri. Washington and the auto industry will tell you what you want to hear then will screw you out of everything that you've worked for. Unless of course you're on welfare and have your Obama phone and free health care. Then again that's exactly where they want you to be...dependent upon them, so you'll defend their socialistic policies and be their puppet. Cut the strings and think for yourself.
Romney's lies are nauseating. His abrogation of credit for Obama's ideas are also nauseating. This man is the lowest of the low. He has no honor, no conscience and no concern for anyone but himself and those puppets that surround him.
does this fruitcake have any idea what he says?
It is ads and attacks like these from Mr. Romney which justify the bull shi****er in chief name for him. Clearly he will say anything to get elected. He was for the auto bail out, before he was against it, but then he wanted to claim credit for it ("O did what I suggested several yrs ago") and now he wants to discredit it....
Geez man, make up your mind and stick with it.
Why do Republicans worship the dollar over everything else? Something is wrong with the party of the rich.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
From heavily investing in voting machines to blatent lying...This guy will never get my vote. Regan did, HW did. But I didnt serve this country to defend ideals like this.
The true desperation is in the voices of the Obama supporters in these posts. Funny how you don't seem to mind BS propaganda from your Administration and press as long it is in accordance with your own agenda. How much do you mind the entire debacle surrounding Benghazi? i thought so. Now imagine, if you can, Romney in office, denying requests for security in an unstable outpost for a 9/11 anniversary so that things will not appear as if they are not "normalized." When people are dying, he will review a bit of footage in the situation room from the Whitehouse and then go to bed. Seals on the ground under mortar attack at the CIA Outpost a few miles from the consulate will then be denied cover from available gunships because Panetta is "not sure" what we would be getting into. Two of those Seals subsequently die at the CIA outpost. Romney wakes up the next morning and condemns the action as an "act of terror" to the press in the Rose Garden just before entering his Helicopter (for his trip to a fund raiser in Vegas). Romney and his administration will now call the attacks a "spontaneous demonstration" from the youtube video to the press and specifically site it as such to the world at the United Nations. You now know that Romney reviewed surveillance footage and was debriefed on eye witness accounts before calling it an "act of terror" in the rose garden, but came up with the youtube video excuse and informed his adminsitration to "go with it." Romney will then return only to greet the caskets and tell the families how sorry he is for this tragedy and assure them he will investigate, never let it happen again but "most importantly" vow to kill those responsible. Even as it became increasingly clear to the public (despite a begrudging media that does like what they are hearing) that it was a planned terrorist attack, Romney's VP will continue the deception campaign during his VP debate performance and blame "poor intelligence" for the mixup. Once it is undeniable that it was a planned terrorist attack and the entire Youtube video story was a lie, Romney's Secretary of State will fall on her sword and take the blame. Romney will then valiantly defend her, claim responsibility for "his people's" (not his own) actions during the next debate. He will then take credit to applause during the debate for appropriately naming it an "act of terror" in the Rose Garden and receive praise by the press for being visibly outraged that Obama could even suggest that Romney's administration would politicize such a tragedy. In the next debate, Romney will completely dodge the question regarding "why" security was not provided and simply reassure everyone that "most importantly" he will bring those responsible to justice. He will be praised by his supporters and by the press for this response. In the meantime, everything you read in the press seams to be defending or glossing over the whole "Benghazi affair" despite astonishing discoveries every few days from testimony from American's on the ground in Libya. You would be disgusted by his lies. You would be highly critical of his handling and wonder how something this important to our national security and to our credibility at the United Nations could become so botched up by the commander in chief. You would be pissed off at Romney for screwing up so bad and blatantly lying about it so badly. You would feel insulted that Romney is so arrogant as to think that he has such a grip over the messaging through the press that he actually thought he could pull this off and avoid heat during the election. You would be frustrated by the press for continuing to make it so difficult to get relevant news as facts arise and for not letting Romney get the heat he deserves. You would then be dismayed how so many people are so willing to look the other way despite all of this happening in front of their noses because someone whom they think is a liar is running against Romney. Wouldn't you?
What everyone fails to comprehend is Fiat now owns Chrysler. Why dont someone ask Fiat where it intends to build the Jeep plant (don't be supprised when they say China) And as tated Fiat is now the parent company, so when my job transfered me halfway across the country last year I guess my 5 year old could have said no and it wouldn't have happened. Guess i need to remember that! Personally I'll take my chances with ANYONE (Larry, Moe & Curly) before Obama.
Obama must have a lot of power that people don't know off. He bankrupt the auto industry. Sold Chrysler to Italians. Now Jeep will be built in China just because of Obama's power.
Didn't know bankrupt company could have over $185 million in net income.
Last I heard, Chrysler was going to build Jeeps in states and not just that, they were looking to hire over 1000 employees and Mitt's company was laying off over 180 people in Il and shipping their jobs off to China on the eve of the election.
wonder how far Mittons will go to try and force himself into the oval office.
Romney is a liar, but that's what we need in the white house. America needs someone to say anything to keep the masses asleep while we rob them and rape their daughters.
Uninstalling Obama ███████████████▒▒ 90% Complete
So what happened to
Bipartisanship in 2010?
Before I lost my job, blew the rest of my savings and retirement money on staying afloat while policy makers did noting to solve problems together? Now these guys want my support when its convenient for them? Ok, masta' what ever you say masta'.
Pepe: This election certianly will not hinge on Benghazi, because no matter how much negelect was involoved in part of the secretary of state, clinton, Obama, whoever you want to blame- it's not an American's fault for a foreign terrorist attack that shed American blood.
The only difference between September 11th (where intellegence also existed) and Beghazi is you have silly, desperate Republicans who would use lost lives to their advantage during an election to make a political point before they even considered what happened! (Mitt Romney of course). It was the democrats who stood at the capital and sand God Bless America before actually scrutinizing Bush about the September 11th attacks and speaking of "what if" scenarios and maybe you ought to do the same....
Back to the subject- my vote has been cast for someone who has a record. His record may not be perfect but at least I know what I'm getting. Mitt Romney's plans elude scrutiny from the very American's he's asking to vote for him. He won't release all of his taxes and more importantly he won't release any details about his tax plan. This guy obvously can't be trusted...you with me?
since your comment was so long most of the obamabots won't read it.
mitt is a lost soul certainly he can return to the days of robbing pensions and outsourcing jobs !! what a clown carnival mitt is a weak human !
If you repeat a lie often enough, you are a Republican.
OK I see the ROMNEY supporters are upset their big fat LIAR is losing. Rpmney is a LIAR and could not tell the truth if his life depended on it. You need to FACT check everything that comes out of Romneys and Ryan's mouth. PLease think twice before listening to their BS!
Title should contain "In Ad". Would reduce BS commentary.
I am a loser and I lie about everything!!!
Obama has a plan for the future of this country. 1) Win election, 2) Do the late night talk show tour gloating and patting himself on the back, 3) Invite a bunch of celebs to the White House so he can continue gloating and patting his own back. Lets see all this should take about 30 days or so... 5) For the next 18 or so days PRAY THE PEOPLE WHO INTERPRETED THE MYAN CALENDAR WERE RIGHT AND IT ALL IS OVER!!! because otherwise he will have to admit he never know what the heck he was doing.
The Romney/Ryan campaign is trying to misleas voters on Obama's trying to save the auto industry and, despite Chrysler's chief spokesman Gualberto Ranieri's statements to the contrary, is trying to convince Ohions that Chrysler is building a new plant in China? Well, I just can't believe it. Both Mr. Rmoney and Ryan are God-fearing, church going men...why would they lie? The WSJ must've gotten it's facts wrong.
From Day One of this campaign, Gov. Romney announced his platform clearly and has never deviated from it since, not once.
Oh, boy.
Romney is desperate and will do/say anything. He's a liar and he thinks that there are more stupid Americans than there are smart ones. He doesn't do any fact-checking before he makes accusations and he's sure in hell hoping that his followers don't do any either! WE KNOW THE TRUTH MITT...too bad you don't!
Romney has now thrown his entire right base under the bus to run to the center to get elected. I have no idea who this person is since he has changed his mind so many times, nor what he will do if he is elected President. A very scary proposition. My guess is that once elected, he will do exactly as he stated to his base--cut taxes for the wealthy appoint justices that will likely overturn Roe vs Wade, and deregulate everything making it easy to run our country into another financial crisis. I'll pass!
Miriann speaking of fact checking... everything Obama has spewed has been shown in VIDEO to be lies, and unlike the Obama sheep we do check things... I suppose it doesn't matter what Obama says as long as he keeps your free paychecks, free phones, free food and free healthcare comming.
Robme and Lyin Ryan and their pundents are pullin out all stops to win. They are lying ALL points! Bottom Line is Mutt didn't support the auto bailout and he is still trying to co-opt some or any amount of credit through is LYIN campaign ads. the Right wing rePUKbliCan't are ALL Liars and cheats! Thier VOTER SUPPRESSION campaign is down right UNAMERICAN! SCuzzBALS!
Obama OWNS Gualberto Ranieri. Gualberto said what the boss said to say.
Hey Pepe: this "obamabot" read your whole post and man, you've just got to take a creative writing course...maybe a Khan lecture.
Paragraphs my friend, paragraphs.
And this : It took eight years of wrong turns and skidding with the GOP at the wheel before our economy finally crashed in 2008. It will take President Obama and the Democrats more than four years to pull 314 million Americans from the wreckage, especially while the GOP-led Congress acts like rubber-necking drivers who block rescue vehicles from getting to and from the scene.
(oh by the way, I misspelled 'mislead' in the last post. My apologies, but my keyboard bit the dust and I'm using that MS7 onscreen keys thing. Man, it's hard to type this way
Just remember who single-handedly killed Hammer. It was Obama.
I wonder if Romney could get other world leaders to swallow his total B S ...........I bet not.
Pepe, I read your rant. What is the crack you're smoking laced with? LSD? Get a grip on reality man. The fact that we lost 4 good patriots to a terrorist attack is no reason to elect a lying, thieving, tool. I'm sure they are looking down from heaven and wondering how many idiots will fall for Myths lies. If the idiots prevail, I have my passport ready. I know rats are the first to leave a sinking ship but sooner or later you've got to realise you can't fix stupid. If the polls are right and 47% vote for Romney its still too many. Do you, Pepe, work for a living or are you a tool of the bosses too?
"free paychecks, free phones, free food and free healthcare comming (sic.)"
Hey, I'm a Democrat...where'd you say we can get this stuff? Pretty cool.
That way, at 54 years old, I can stop doing roofing, eat better and get all these velcro braces (knee,back,elbow,wrist) off. Finally.
The phones I don't care about so much...I don't feel well enough at the end of my workday to talk to anyone.
Keep it 'comming'!
CA Beachman - Yeah, what you said. Just an unintentional omission on the WSJ"s part, I'm sure.
I like my free stuff. Can't lie. I make more $ since I got fired. Have to vote Obama.
Jason, Hummer was doomed. Sales had fallen over 90% and GM happily killed it. Why is Pontiac gone? Same reason, sales were in the toilet. GM needed to eliminate brands to survive. They quite simply had to many. Chevy, GMC, Hummer, Saturn, SAAB, Buick, Pontiac and Cadillac. Those name plates spread them to thin, cost them to much to support. Have you noticed now that they've eliminated 4 of those they're in a better market position that before???
all this is so silly. I voted last Tue.
If Romney were President, who would pay more tax?
A) A couple whose earns $200,000 from their jobs or,
B) A couple who earns $200,000 capital gains.capital gains tax: zero tax.
Tax on working wages: $66,670 tax.
Romney capital gains tax: zero tax.
Romney wants a working family to continue to pay thousands in taxes, while those who make $200,000 from interest alone, would pay zero. Romney's plan "penalizes" working couples.
If their income were only $13,100, they would have to pay $2,121 tax. The capital gains couple may earn a whopping $186,900 more, but would pay zero.
Romney's plan is to keep the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and stick workers with the bill. An economic advisor to Mitt Romney spoke in Boston this September and suggested a $2/gallon gasoline tax increase. To many of you who need to drive to work, that would mean $6/gallon gasoline. Someone who trades stocks can deduct the cost of the trade, but there's no deduction for the cost of driving to work, even if gas reaches $6/gallon.
My gosh! By the time this election is over, Romney ought to be a democrat!
Listen 4 more years of Obama and we won't have to worry about electing anyone else in 2016. We will be so weak, pathetic, poor and inadequately protected, that a small group of vacationing Canadians will be able to come down and overthrow us.
I realize this is the WSJ and the majority of the people commenting on here are liberals (you know, liberal : the person your mother and McGruff warned you about. May also be known as the guy with the "LITTLE" problem or the girl you would NEVER tell your friends about!! ) and just want to stroke each other and feel all fuzzy inside. Us that support this country are asking for "a little more" from everyone not just the wealthy.
Anonymous @ 7:55pm
It's funny that you would come on here calling everyone a liberal when you obviously have no idea where your own party's candidate stands politically. I'd rather vote for a liberal that knows he's a liberal than a Mitt Romney who is simply a guy that will say anything to get a vote.
One of the most laughable is how he says "My dad was born of Mexican parents" to get Latinos to vote for him...sickening!!!
Good luck Romney. You aren't going to sell being a populist in the midwest 8 days before the election. If he wanted to grasp at this straw, he really needed to start cultivating it months ago. He is just getting to a point where it looks like he will say ANYTHING to get elected. Adopting Obama's 2008 slogan just looks silly. He could have come up with almost anything that had the same message and wasn't "Change." This is worse than a guy with no core. This is a salesman in a board room convincing us that a Bain takeover of our company will make us all better off. But once we vote, all bets are off and we know it.
Mitt Romney is lying in an ad again? How is this even news anymore?
After I heard Mitt Romney start using Obama's 2008 campaign message, I surely knew without a doubt that this guy has more colors than a chameleon. I knew who to vote for...
Anyone who, at this point, is still choosing to support Romney is making a fatal mistake. The fact that he cannot give any specificity or further detail to his supposed economic plan to create more jobs is dangerous, as is the fact that he claims he will not ask the highest income Americans to pay anymore tax. This is because when any average person thinks about the fact that he also wants to add "trillions" of dollars to the military, which they have not asked for, there is no way, no how, this is not going to drive us into further recession. We cannot go down that road. We have come too far. And his social policies? The world is watching. For every single woman, every single person of color, every single person of every faith and denomination - we have come too far, America. We are moving forward.
23 million out of work in the US, 47 million on food stamps. How can you even think of voting for Obama! He is sending billions to Brazil, Mexico, and other countries to drill for oil shutting down drilling here, shutting down coal mines, stop developing natural gas and nuclear power plants (hundreds and thousands of jobs gone!). We have come too far..really? No budget, he plans on raises taxes on EVERYONE and his plan is to continue along the same path he's on will drive us into more debt.. We are not respected around the world because of his lack of leadership. He is succeeding at making the US a smaller footprint in the world! Obviously, you are believing every word he says because you are repeating him exactly. Think for yourself and get educated on what he is doing....forget about what he says.
Hey Nancy:
Turn off FOX NEWS!! Oh my lady, do you sound brainwashed...
The U.S. is currently on track to becoming the world's largest oil producer...fact check it!
MItt Romney himself shut down coal mines as governer..fact check it!
Obama's rasing tackes on everyone? How about Mitt Romney wont even tell you what loopholes & deductions he'll cut!!! (He basically doesn't have a plan).
I do think for myself, why I have already voted for Barack Obama 2012!
Liberals will save a butterfly but think it's ok to kill babies. The say it's a personal choice (but we all get to pay for more tan 3 million abortions a year). Freedom of choice is what you stand for.....really? Don't want us to choose to join a union or not, can't choose a school we want for our children.......it's only free choice for what you decide works for you. You say conservatives are all about the money.......that's right! All about the money for the 23 million who need a job are about the money too! Taking from the rich (those who worked for every penny of it) is stupid.......they are the ones who hire and create jobs. Your ideals make no common sense.
Anonymous, he's had 4 years.....23 million out of work, 47 million on food stamps. That 's the record. We are on the road to nothing but more of the same. He's a community disorganizer! Obama has a plan....right, we are living it! Romney has created thousands of jobs in his lifetime! If we drill for oil, it has nothing to do with Obama's policies. You are the brainwashed one! Sounds like you worry too much about successful people, I worry about the 23 million suffering .....and it is so unnecessary. We have a weak leader in every way!
Romney candidate for BIG Change and Big (wait for it) Big Hope A year from now the story line will be "how's that Big Changey, Big Hopey thing going for you now. Ya gotta love the politics in this country, regardless of who wins half the country will think he's a liar and a loser. Media has done a wonderful job of polarizing the country.
"Mitt Romney has a plan to help the auto industry." No specific plan is referenced in the ad, and Romney's campaign web site does not include a plan to "help the auto industry." In 2008, Romney wrote a New York Times editorial titled, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," and he re-upped his call against the auto rescue during the Republican primaries this year.
Romney is the most dishonest and shameless candidate to run for President. The man will say anything and continually changes positions and policies depending on his audience.
Is there any issue on which Romney has been consistent ?
No, Chrysler/Fiat isn't laying off any workers, they just AREN'T HIRING any workers. So if BO saved the auto industry, shouldn't these jobs be US jobs-why can't Chrysler build Jeep here. Now, if a GOP was in office and the company that they bailed out was building plants in China-what would Maddow, Matthews, CNN, MSLSD, Reid, Obama, Biden and Pelosi say-oh, one could only imagine. You go Mitt!
Please get your facts straight. Chrysler is Expanding the Jeep line with a 500 million dollar plant in the US Creating several thousand US jobs. The Chinese plant us for the Chinese market, jeez.
There are (at least) five reasons folks will vote for Romney: 1.) Knee-jerk Republicans, who would vote for a wart hog if it had an "R" tatooed on its a$$, 2.) Racists, pure and simple, 3.) Obama haters, 4.) Stupid-heads, who will believe any lie they hear from Romney, and/or 5.) Some combination (any/all) of the above.
@Seen, the problem with Benghazi?
1) President Obama personally denied requests for assistance from Americans under 7 hour long attack
2) 4 Americans died
3) President Obama spent 2 weeks lying about what happened, still lying, though truth is coming out
4) President Obama used Benghazi for political gain
SuaveDave - someone who believes Obama campaign ads but does not research the facts. Anyone else sick of the "racist" claims against anyone who isn't going to vote for or disagrees with Obama about anything? Four more years of Obama will mean 4 more years of claims of racism for any criticism of Obama, fix this, fix the country, vote Romney/Ryan 2012.
Tony G - you clearly didn't read Romney's Op Ed but Obama did, he used this as the basis for his plan, during which he took Chrysler and GM through bankruptcy and restructuring.
The primary difference between the Obama plan and Romney's plan is that Obama liquidated all NON union pensions while preserving union pensions. This ensured that millions of Americans were ruined and also bought millions of union votes.
You can easily find what Romney wrote in his Op Ed.
I was born and raised in south end of Toledo...until my father got a job at Jeep we had a hard life...then 25yrs at Jeep and a good union.......My parents were able to move into the middle class buy a home, and a good living! My brothers 42 yr Jeep., 30 yrs at other Chrysler plant........GOOD LIFE! my husband 25yrs Toledo UPS...GOOD LIFE GOOD UNION!.......LIKE OR HATE 'UNIONS' IT PUT THE WORKING CLASS INTO THE MIDDLE CLASS! AND JEEP/CHRYSLER MADE LIFE GOOD FOR ALL WORKERS!.....CHRYSLER IS PUTTING 1100 MORE WORKERS AT ITS TOLEDO PLANT....AND TODAY! 1100 WORKERS AT ITS DETROIT PLANT.
ROMNEY DOESN'T GIVE A D@#! ABOUT THIS NATION....IT A 'TROPHY' TO HIM!......FRANKLY THIS WHITE RETIRED LADY DOESN'T GIVE A DARN ABOUT SKIN COLOR.........AND RELIGION GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR GOV.......Contraception = no fertilized egg=no abortion="freedom to 'choose' .........and that is a gift from God...............Thank you Jeep/Chrysler/unions.........you gave us a good life....................ROMNEY IS A LIAR..
The claim by Romney that Jeep is moving their production to China is an absolute lie, falsehood, untruth-- and he knows it!! What is amazing is that he so arrogantly thinks no one is going to check on these things
I just hope people do some fact-checking on this, it shouldn't be hard to find the TRUTH. Jeep moving to China?? Really?? Shame on you, "Mitt"Romney!!
Meet Far Right Paul Ryan
Ryan is owned by billionaire Koch brothers, private-equity tycoon Paul "the vulture" Singer, and Goldman Sachs, as well as a host of other major financial, pharmaceutical, and medical interests backers.

Ryan has brutally ignored the urgent needs of his constituents for a higher minimum wage, extended unemployment benefits, training funds, health care, and foreclosure assistance.
Ryan refuses to allow his record to be exposed by refusing to debate his First District challenger, Ron Zerban.
Ryan was forced onto the Romney ticket by Paul "the vulture" Singer to appease the Tea Party.
Ryan who received Social Security survivors benefits for 2 years
will end it now for millions of Americans.
Ryan supports the Tea Party's and its far right agenda.

text: You return home from a night of revelry, bleary-eyed and hungry\u2013so hungry\u2013but not capable of wielding a knife without a knick or a hot pan without a\u00a0branding<\/a>. We\u2019ve all been to that place. It requires what we fondly call drunk munchies. And we have a feeling this weekend, you will experience that requirement. You\u2019ll need carby, cheesy, crunchy, salty snacks to soften the green beer-blow you dealt yourself. But you\u2019ll need them to be on your counter, ready to be dug into with a fork. So here are 13 recipes to make\u00a0before<\/em>\u00a0that first shot of Jameson and that will hold up until way, way after. Then you can hit the sack with a full belly and visions of four leaf clovers dancing in your head. This popcorn may well be the perfect drunk snack, hitting all the bases: salty, fatty bacon; crunchy cashews; sweet caramel; and face-stuffing friendly popcorn. You usually suppress the urge to put Bugles on your fingers and pretend they\u2019re claws. Now is not that time. This meaty ragu is easy to heat up and throw over some pasta. Too complicated? Eat it with a spoon. Grill up the sausages beforehand, then throw them on top of lettuce. Add lots of cheese. Done. Any mac and cheese reheats well, and this one is a breeze to make in the first place. Add some crunchy bacon for extra points. Limit yourself to three of these brownies. That way, you\u2019ll only eat six. Find anything that\u2019s dip-able to scoop this heavenly rich dip in huge quantities. Potato chips work well. So do fingers. A frittata is on the light and high-brow side of drunk food. But hey, it reheats well and doubles as a hangover cure in the morning. Anything saucy and cheesy that you can slop on a plate with a spoon, throw in the microwave, and eat is GOOD DRUNK MUNCHIES. Salty and sweet is the best combo for a drunk palate. Just make sure to bring an extra-big glass of water to bed with you. Cheesy baked pasta. Need we say more? Do not\u2013we repeat\u2013DO NOT mess with hot oil when intoxicated. Instead, throw a few of these crispy cutlets into a toaster oven or reheat in a pan for a quick chicken nom-fest. When all else fails, keep the party going with a beer-soaked chili.

What's so wrong with wanting to be attracted to someone you're dating. I met a couple of guys off of a dating website, the pics didn't necessarily match the person, and even with that, I wasn't attracted. But I've told the guys and now I'm getting flack for it. I don't get it. I'm being honest, I'm just not that into you, so what's the big deal?

To achieve this, Tim combines qualitative, quantitative and design-based research methodologies to study learners as they move spatially and temporally across informal-formal learning context boundaries. He has given presentations on his research at dozens of national and international conferences, invited workshops and at the National Science Foundation.
He designed and taught course at Rutgers University, UC Berkeley and the College of Charleston. Tim has also developed marine and environmental science curricula for, and conducted learning research in conjunction with, several organizations and institutions, including the Lawrence Hall of Science, the National Geographic Society, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Monterey Bay and New York Aquariums, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
He is currently PI of a 3-year NSF funded ITEST grant seeking to understand 21st century learning of ocean science concepts, and co-PI on two NSF grants (REU; IRES) studying science learning during apprenticeship model research experiences for students. When he's not on campus, you will likely find him rock climbing, hiking, enjoying live music and/or spending time with his family.
In recent years, as a result of interactions between cognitive psychology and education, we now have many ideas about classroom learning, and approaches to teaching, testing and assessment. We also have strong evidence that implementing these ideas could really improve learning for all children and youth, including those who are under- resourced. In this seminar we will work to understand the findings by reading and discussing a selection of theoretical works from cognitive science and psychology. We will examine the practical applications of these theories to education through discussion and time observing/assisting in a classroom or tutoring/mentoring. We will also learn how to evaluate educational claims. Students will be evaluated on a series of short reaction papers, a final paper, and their general participation. This course can be used to satisfy the Educational Psychology requirement for licensure students.
Critical pedagogy of place: a tool for environmental action and social change. In this advanced course on environmental education, we will read seminal works on notions of place (Thoreau; Leopold), critical pedagogy (Freire), place-based (Sobel), critical theory (hooks). We will also read modern thinkers such as Gruenwald/Greenwood, Berry, Gough and others. We will spend time in "places" to investigate our own notions and perceptions thereof to connect the theory and practice. Students in this class will also help shape how we are to prepare the next generation of environmentally-focused change agents. This will be accomplished through a whole-class, semester-long activity, where students enrolled in this course will be directly involved in the development, hosting and implementation of a mini-conference for environmental education scholars. Prerequisite: CS 0194 Environmental Education: Foundations and Inquiries (preferred). If the student has not taken CS 0194, they must have taken a course on Critical Pedagogy or a course on Critical Theory and receive permission from the Instructor.
In this course, we will explore the explicit and implicit assumption that learning occurs in museum spaces. Many museums (art, science, etc.) and designed museum-like spaces such as aquariums, sculpture gardens, and historical centers, often collectively called "informal learning institutions," frequently include educational components in their mission statements or goals. Yet, how are these components enacted or realized? Several questions will drive our inquiry: How do we define learning in these settings? How do we measure learning in these settings? What design or program elements foster learning in these settings? How do culture, social norms and notions of privilege influence learning in these spaces? We will discuss foundational readings and critical research on museum learning. Students will conduct museum learning activities, conduct a short museum learning study and write a paper on a topic of interest related to museums as learning contexts.
Where does good curriculum design come from? What is the relationship between curriculum and pedagogy? How do good educators promote deep learning despite the current political climate that emphasizes content mastery and efficient instruction? Should curriculum and instruction differ between school and non-school contexts? In this course, you will learn research-based curriculum design practices, how to focus on conceptual understanding and the development of higher order thinking in a number of domains (e.g. critical thinking, integrative thinking, innovative thinking) and across multiple contexts. Each student or group develops a curriculum unit on a topic of their choice. In addition, students get some practice teaching their materials to one another. This course is designed for Division II and III students who are interested in teaching in formal or non-formal settings or who are developing curriculum as part of their independent work. Prerequisite: Completion one of the courses: "How People Learn," "Museums as Learning Contexts: Designing and Assessing Museum Spaces for Learning," educational psychology, or other education coursework.
In this introductory course, students will explore the history, practices, career options, and problems of environmental education - educational efforts promoting an understanding of nature, environmentally responsible behavior, and protection of natural resources. Shifts in environmental education research foci, relationships to current and past environmental challenges (e.g., air pollution, species loss, climate change), and differences between U.S. and international efforts will be discussed. We will compare and contrast topics such as education for sustainable development, environmental education, conservation education, environmental behavior change, ecoliteracy, and interpretation. Students will be exposed to three lines of inquiry: critical pedagogy, educational research and experiential learning. In addition to assigned readings, students will choose a line of inquiry and follow that line of inquiry to: 1) design, in teams, an environmental education intervention and 2) write an individual paper on a topic of interest to the student related to environmental education.
Many people have opinions about the best ways to improve education, yet few people have conducted research in educational settings. However, improving education requires evidence gathered systematically through research. In this course, students will learn methods for conducting research on learning and teaching that yield evidence leading to program improvements. Methodologies include classroom and field trip observations, interview, survey, pre-post assessment, and discourse analysis. Students learn these methods while collaboratively participating as part of a research team with the professor on an on-going, NSF-funded, design-based research project. We will read and discuss relevant literature on learning, design of learning experiences, and how to help more students succeed. This course is designed to teach various learning research methods and is particularly helpful for students who are in their last semester of Division II, are interested in education and wanting to start thinking about a Division III project. Field trips will be a part of the students' research and course experience. Prerequisite: Some basic statistics (t tests, descriptive statistics, etc.).

this restaurant has been going from adequate to bad at a very fast pace. the service is slow and today my buck double was chared, the fries were dried out and barely warm and my garden salad was nearly empty. there was plenty of room to add the croutons and dressing and shake it up. there were plenty of fries for once howere if I hadn't been really hungry they would have hit the trash.
The service is ridiculous. The employees are extra ghetto and the store wasn't clean. Nobody knew how to make a Frappe mocha. They actually asked me what's in the Frappe. The guys in the back didn't even have gloves on

Full impulse to Warp 1
Also what are the relativistic effects at these speeds and do they initaiate a warp field?
|January 21 2009, 11:38 AM
Re: Full impulse to Warp 1
Full impulse is just full throttle on the impulse engines. And 0.25c is the supposed Starfleet speed limit for impulse travel, even though this is never mentioned on screen. The two aren't the same, although one might want to use the former to quickly achieve the latter.
I'm not convinced that warp 0.5 is half lightspeed, either, although it does seem that warp 1 is full lightspeed. The scale isn't linear above warp 1, so why should it be linear below it?
I also trust that somehow the use of warp engines "negates all relativistic concerns", even though this of course is impossible in the universe as we know it. Relativity is not dependent on travel methods, it's built into the structure of the universe. It's a bit like claiming that the use of a specific type of jet engine makes the sun rise over London's Heathrow or New York's LaGuardia at a different time than if a propeller engine were used... Utter nonsense. But apparently, the Star Trek universe differs from our own in this respect, and Einstein was dead wrong in that universe. So possibly some sort of a fancy time dilation effect plagues impulse travel in Trek, even though it is not related to Einsteinian spacetime. Or then there are no relativistic effects in the Trek universe whatsoever.
I might also argue that the use of warp engines below warp 1 is very inefficient and that impulse engines do that job much better. But Kirk wanted to test his recently installed warp engines in ST:TMP, so he ordered them to be used at settings below warp 1. Or at least that would explain why we never ever hear of warp factors below 1 again...

Re: Full impulse to Warp 1
Anyway, I do think that they use the warp fields (even if not using warp drive) for relativity issues for anything past .25C or so. Just seems like it would solve a whole lot of issues. (Such as their crew turning into jelly by suddenly going insanely high space-normal speeds.)

Re: Full impulse to Warp 1
Kirk's first Captain's log occurs after the ship flies by Jupiter and in it he says, "...1.8 hours from launch...", during which time the ship has been traveling warp .5.
At its farthest from Earth, Jupiter is about 3,220 light seconds away, or about 54 light minutes distance. At half light speed, it's 108 minutes away. 108 minutes = 1.8 hours. Ergo, if Jupiter were its maximum distance from Earth when the Enterprise launched, at half lightspeed the ship would get there in exactly the 1.8 hours Kirk cites, which is too on-the-nose to be an accident.
But, for the sake of argument... At closest approach, Jupiter is 1972 seconds/32.87 minutes away at light speed. To over that distance in 1.8 hours at warp .5 would put the ship at .30c (just shy of 1/3rd light speed).
So, is TMP is any guide, warp .5 is somewhere between 30% and 50% of light speed, with 50% being the more likely intention.

Re: Full impulse to Warp 1
In space, you have none of that... At sufficient velocities, of course, even the diffuse gas and dust of space can induce significant drag (and impact damage), but for the most part, you can accelerate with impunity, since there's little else to slow you back down.
So while there's an upper limit on acceleration due to mechanical limits, there's not really an upper limit to velocity, other than the speed of light, of course, due to Relativity.
All this is basically a roundabout way for me to say that any kind of 'speed limit' in space to me sounds monumentally stupid, at least, insofar as one might try to express it mechanically or scientifically, as opposed to legally.
There's no good reason, given the existence of deflector dishes in the ST universe, that any starship couldn't go infinitely close to the speed of light if they wanted to. The thing I've never understood is why there aren't more time dilation issues from overusing the impulse drives...
So I've never really understood what this 0,25c limit is even supposed to mean, much less how it's supposed to be possible.

I could be mis-remembering; it's been a while since I've studied relativity, but I distinctly remember mass dilation being incidental in situations like this, not causal.

I am in need of some new clips/straps. the steel and plastic toe cages just arent cutting it for me anymore. I have looked into the power grip straps and the holdfast ones. i am intrigued with the idea and the price tag of the power grips, but i am skeptical of the design and strength of them. the holdfast ones are great i hear and i see them everywhere so i figure they rock, but $60 for straps is a lil steep i think for to straps.
So i was just wondering if anyone has used the PowerGrip straps and how they work. i would like to get these due to the price and functionality, or if they just suck i'll just go with the holdfast straps or maybe try and make my own.

My review
Original recipe yields 7 servings
Based on a 2,000 calorie dietSee full nutrition
Ready In
It is a little work to make the masala but it is worth it. I added orange juice to it and made it with salmon instead of chicken. Great tangy/spicy taste and flavor!!
This recipe was very time-intensive and expensive, considering the exotic spices and mortar & pestle that I had to buy. Nonetheless, I think it was definitely worth it. The fresh-ground spices...
This recipe went over well with my family, it was nice to have a sandwich with a little zip to it.
@ AIMEEWOZ - I've substituted an equal amount of tomato paste for tamarind pulp with success. It's not the same, but it should do.
I did not care for this recipe. There are to many spices and flavors going on... I thought it would have taste like the one I have tried on my trip to the caribbean.. completely different!!!
