Welcome! I'm Frank. I'm an international lawyer by day, but when I get home at night, there's nothing I like better to do than cook. I've always loved to cook, ever since I was barely tall enough to peer over the top of a stove. Cooking is the best way I know to unwind from a stressful day's work. And sharing the dishes I make is a profound way to connect with friends and loved ones.
Where did this passion for cooking and eating come from? Like so many Italian-Americans I learned the importance of good food at those leisurely Sunday dinners at my grandmother's house, the kind that would start with nibbles just after noontime and last well into the evening.
Memorie di Angelina—which means 'Memoires of Angelina'—is my tribute to the home cooking of my nonna Angelina, a native of a small hilltop town in the Campania region of Italy called Apice. She came to America in the 1920s along with millions of other southern Italian immigrants and settled in the Arthur Avenue neighborhood in the Bronx, which was (and is) a true 'little Italy'. She was poor and, like most women of her class and time, only semi-literate. She never did learn to speak proper English. She married my grandfather Lorenzo, who made a modest salary as a projectionist at a local movie theater and, to help pay expenses, she sewed button holes for lady's dresses at 5 cents a pop. She was the humblest person I have ever known.
She also cooked the most delicious food I've ever eaten.
I was born and raised in the US, but have spent most of my adult life abroad. After some years in Paris and Vienna, I finally wound up living in Rome, where I spent ten more memorable years. I spent my time in Italy soaking up the food culture and enjoying cooking and eating as never before. After some years in the historical center of town, we moved out to a beautiful area off the via Ardeatina just south of town, an area that is still rural, among vineyards and pastures, the Alban hills looming in the distance. I grew my own fruits and vegetables, and even kept chickens for the eggs. Our wine came from the vineyards down the road, the cheese from the sheep that grazed in the fields outside our house, the olive oil from a local frantoio (press). And, of course, I traveled extensively, eating and asking everywhere I went about the local cuisine. I came back to the US in 2005 for work reasons, and now lead a fairly ordinary suburban life—except that, if I dare say so myself, in our house we eat very, very well…
I started Memorie di Angelina in June 2009 as a way of keeping this rich culinary heritage alive and sharing it with my friends and family. But from those modest beginnings, and despite the fact that writing about your grandmother's cooking has become the ultimate blogging cliché, the site has grown in popularity and is now one of the better known Italian food blogs on the web.I like to think it's because Memorie di Angelina offers up something that many other blogs do not—a real focus on technique and the actual experience of cooking, presented in a way that strives to both educate and entertain. After reading one of my recipes, I want you to feel confident that you can make it, too. That makes the posts on the site a bit longer than on most blogs, but I think you'll find it's worth your extra time. If you don't have the time, most posts have a short-form, printable recipe card that cuts to the chase.
In fact, I hope you'll think of this website as something more than just a blog, as an online resource. Over the course of the years, I've have built up a collection of about 400 recipes at last count. You'll find Angelina's specialities here, of course, plus many of the classic dishes I got to know during my years in Italy. I put special emphasis on the regional cuisines of Rome and Naples, which I know best, but I do set out on the occasional jaunt into points north or further south. You'll also find articles with essential background and techniques for making authentic Italian food, in-depth information on the Italian Pantry and food culture, and tips and tricks, like how to choose the best canned tomatoes.
There is much here to explore and the database just keeps growing. The universe of Italian cooking is truly immense, so I look forward to keep this going for quite some time!
While I like to feature an Italian-American dish every Columbus Day, as well as the occasional American or other 'foreign' dish just for fun, the focus here is on showing you how to make simple, authentic Italian home cookery, the kind of Italian food you will find in countless homes in Italy itself. And that's another thing that makes this blog, if not unique, then special—a real commitment to authenticity. You can have absolute confidence that the recipes on this blog are ones that an Italian would cook. Too many other food sites, including some of the most popular, will compromise on authenticity, I suppose for the sake of "giving people what they want". That I will never do! Yes, there are times when I will recommend substitutions for a particularly hard to find ingredient, but when I do, I'll always tell you.
What you won't find here are rants about my personal problems. Nor will you find advertisements, promotions, give-aways, contest entries or any other kind of competitive or commercial activity. I've turned down countless offers because first, as I've said, I don't want to commit to compromise on authenticity, and second, because I want to give you, the reader, an ad-free—and that means distraction free—experience. And finally, I didn't get into blogging for the money. This blog is a pure labor of love.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I do writing it. And if you have any questions, comments or recipe requests, or just want to say hello, feel free to drop me a line. And if you like what you see, don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Networked Blogs, or sign up for our Flipboard magazine.

The 2013 Washington County Fair ended on a relatively high note Tuesday with attendance up from last year and some higher prices for 4-H livestock market sales.
A 129-pound champion market lamb, appropriately named "Champ," brought a record bid of $21 per pound for 10-year-old Molly Ketchum of Marietta during the fair's large animal sale Tuesday night. The animal was purchased by Hall & Hall Oil.
"I was excited, but also sad because I didn't want to leave Champ," Ketchum said. "This is my second year with market lambs, and I think this is what I want to do my whole life."

2013 Washington County Fair Princess Morgan Smith gives her co-premier exhibitor award market steer, "Leo," a kiss on the cheek on the last night of the fair Tuesday.
The Marietta Times
The previous record price for a champion market lamb was $12.90, observed Alison Baker, Ohio State University Extension educator for 4-H youth development in Washington County.
"The prices are up for market livestock this year," she said. "The reserve market lamb went for $11 a pound this year, which was really higher than last year's bid of $7 per pound."
Baker said market beef prices were good, too.
Fact Box
Large livestock sale top winners
Market Beef Champion-Aidan Woodruff of Vincent. 1,335-pound steer sold for $4/lb.
Market Beef Reserve Champion-Tyler Welch of Little Hocking. 1,350-pound steer sold for $3.61/lb.
Dairy Feeder Champion-Isaac Lang of Marietta. 590-pound steer sold for $2.14/lb.
Dairy Feeder Reserve Champion-Clayton Lang of Marietta. 627-pound steer sold for $1.62/lb.
Market Lamb Champion-Molly Ketchum of Marietta. 129-pound lamb sold for (record) $21/lb.
Market Lamb Reserve Champion-Erin Hague of Marietta. 132-pound lamb sold for $11/lb.

Aidan Woodruff, from Vincent, earned $4 a pound for his champion market steer-a 59-cent-per-pound increase over last year, while Tyler Welch's reserve champion steer brought $3.61 per pound, 51 cents more than last year's reserve champion.
"The community support for our animal sales is just tremendous," Baker said. "And we've had some new buyers this year."
Curt Welch, owner of R.C. Construction in Cutler, is continuing a family tradition of purchasing 4-H-raised livestock at fairs in Washington and surrounding counties.
"My mom and dad originally had the business, and they bought livestock every year," he said. "We get letters from kids all over the region asking us to buy their animals. And we do try to buy from some kids who may not have the champion livestock."
He did purchase a 1,234-pound market steer at $2.85/lb. from co-premier exhibitor and 2013 Fair Princess Morgan Smith, 17, of Little Hocking.
"I've been competing at the fair since I was 9 years old," Smith said. "I started with lambs, and began working with steers when I was 10. This is what I strive for every year. The premier exhibitor category is judged on all three areas, including beef marketing, skill, and showmanship. That makes this award special."
Smith also raised a market lamb she showed during Tuesday's event.
Curt Welch's son, Cole Welch, 15, has been raising sheep for eight years now.
"I think sheep are more of a challenge (than steers)," he said. "You have to put in more practice time in the show ring with a lamb."
Cole showed two lambs at the 2013 fair.
"It seems like there's a lot of good competition this year," he said.
Joe Pugh, 17, of Waterford raised a 131-pound market lamb in the premier exhibitor category.
"I started raising sheep when I was 8-I just enjoy raising them, and it's something to keep me busy during the summer," he said. "We usually get them when they're just 50 pounds or so, then raise them to around 130 pounds."
Pugh had the grand champion market lamb last year.
"It was awesome," he said.
A total of 139 animals were sold during the 2013 large animal sale.
Attendance numbers
Overall the 2013 fair was deemed a success, according to fair board treasurer Sandy Hickey who said Saturday brought the largest crowd with about 7,200 ticket sales, compared to 5,800 on the same day in 2012.
"We had 6,800 on Sunday, compared to 6,100 on Sunday last year, but on Monday the sales were down from last year by about 350," she said. "We had 4,650 on Monday, but last year we sold around 5,000 tickets that day."
Taking past fairs into account, Hickey said 2013 was probably about average.
"But we're very happy with the attendance this year," she added.
Booths do well, too
Some local non-profit groups were also happy with this year's fair.
"The first couple of days were really good this year, and there were definitely more people here," said Connie Grimes with the Marietta Civitan Club.
The Civitan sells sausage sandwiches and other food items at the fair every year.
The lemon shake business was also successful, according to Tiger Athletics Booster Club member Greg Kroft.
"We've sold a lot of lemon shakes this year," he said. "We went through 33 cases of lemons."
He said the group probably cleared close to $8,000 at the fair.
And Randy Wilson with the Marietta Lions Club said that group also did brisk food sales during the fair.
"Our fish basket was really a hot item this year," he said. "We even had to order more baskets. Overall our sales were much better than last year."

Skill Level Advanced
I've saved my progress as The blue stroke.ai. In this exercise we're going to build up a couple of other strokes that are assigned to this layer. So my layer is currently active, as you can see here in the Appearance panel. If you're working along with me and you're not seeing the same thing, go to the layers panel and meatball the snowflake layer to make it active. Then switch back to the Appearance panel, and we're going to create two more strokes. And I'm going to base them on this existing stroke that has all these dynamic effects assigned to it. Add, Offset Path, and Transform. And I'm going to do that by grabbing that stroke and dragging it onto the little Page icon at the bottom of the Appearance panel and that will create one duplicate.
Now I'm going to create a second duplicate by dragging it onto the little page icon again. All right, now I'll twirl-closed the top one as soon as Illustrator gets done. Now I should say, we are now officially asking Illustrator to do a lot, because we have these multiple strokes assigned to this layer and each one of the strokes has three dynamic effects and then there is dynamic effects being assigned to the group in the background, all kinds of stuff going on. It's very computationally intensive at this point for Illustrator. So you can expect a few slowdowns here and there. I'm going to twirl-close that first stroke, select the second stroke, and change its line weight to 4 points.
And then I'm going to change the color settings and up here in the Color panel I'm going to change Cyan value to 50%, press Tab. Wait for it to work. It's got to do its thing. It's no use, by the way, switching to the Outline mode. Illustrator will still go ahead and update things in the background, even though you're not seeing the effects. I'll change the Magenta value to 40% and then I'm eventually hopefully going to change that Yellow value, which is no longer active. I'll have to change it manually there to 0, and then I'll press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac in order to apply my modification.
All right, now we need to go through the same thing for this bottom stroke here. I'll change its line weight to 6 points, press the Tab key in order to update my artwork, and then up here in the Color panel a few modifications I need to make. I'm going to change the Magenta value to 80 and press the Tab key and wait for that to apply. And then I'm going to change the Yellow value here to 30%, press the Tab key, wait for it to apply, and then change that K value to 50%, and that's my final color layer in the background. Now the next thing that I need to do is assign some additional offsets and by offset I don't mean Offset Path. Our one point of offset is just fine there.
I mean we need to nudge the strokes a little bit. So I'm going to twirl-open that second stroke and click on Transform in order to bring up the Transform Effect. And don't turn on Preview, because that would just slow things down. Go ahead and change the Horizontal value to -0.5 and the Vertical value to positive +0.5 and then click on the OK button in order to apply that modification. Wait for it to work of course. You'll see that lighter stroke move ever so slightly in the background. Go ahead and twirl that guy close, twirl-open the bottom stroke, click on its Transform, and change the Horizontal Move value to -1 and the Vertical Move to positive 1, and then click OK again in order to assign that modification.
And now notice that we have a lot of weird stroke action in back of this guy's face, and it's just because of these little teeny path outlines that Illustrator is struggling with stroking. So for example, in the brow right here, even though this brow line is pretty big, it's only stroking this far into it. As the strokes get thicker and thicker they kind of pile up toward the center of the guy's brow. And that's kind of a problem and something that I'm interested in covering up. So I'll go ahead and twirl that stroke closed and now what I'm going to do is switch back to my Layers panel, and I want to assign an outer glow to this effect.
And it's actually going to be an outer darkness, an outer shadow, but before I can do it I need to assign this outer glow to the group as opposed to the larger layer. So I'm going to meatball the group there, the big flake group, there in the layers panel and now I'll go up to the Effect menu, I'll choose Stylize and I'll choose Outer Glow. And you can use glows to create shadows as well as the Drop Shadow command to create a glow if you want to. It's just a matter of the colors you select in the blend modes and so forth. The reason you really use Drop Shadow by the way is because it's a directional effect.
So it can be a directional shadow or a directional glow, it doesn't matter. Inner Glow and Outer Glow are unidirectional, so they trace all the way around the path outlines. So I'm going to go ahead and choose Outer Glow and these are the settings I'm going to apply. So Illustrator is remembering what I've done in the past here, but if you're working along with me you'll need to make some modifications. Change Mode to Multiply for starters, and then you want to go ahead and change that color by clicking on that color swatch and dialing in these CMYK values right there, Cyan 100, Magenta 80, Yellow 30, and Black 50.
And that will give you a very dark shade of blue. Click OK. Then the Opacity value should be 100% and the Blur should be 8 points. And you can either turn on the Preview check box to see what it looks like, or you can just click OK in order to apply that modification. You'll see a bunch of progress bars zip by and then things will darken up considerably on the screen. The final thing that I want to do here is rotate that snowflake. And I'm going to apply the rotation to the entire layer. So I'll go ahead and meatball the snowflake layer here inside the Layers panel, and then once again I'll go up to the Effect menu, choose Distort & Transform, and choose the Transform command, or press Ctrl+ E, Command+E on the Mac if you loaded dekekeys.
Change the Angle value to 15 degrees and click OK in order to slightly rotate the snowflake inside of the document. And that is the final effect that I'm looking for. And I think it looks pretty good in so far as it goes, but I think it can look better as well. What I'd like to create is a crystallized snowflake with some beveling attached to it as well, and you can do that kind of stuff inside of Illustrator. It's just that it's so much easier to do in Photoshop, as we will in the next exercise.

A lot of the photos didn't load. The ones that did?? You are right Dave… I enjoy this post.
For you guys that don't live here. I see ladies like these everyday walking down the street. NOT dressed like that but still very easy on the eyes. If you don't have plans yet to move here to the Philippines what are you waiting for??????
The people here are so nice. I know Dave is treated the same as are many others. Sure beats the snow of Michigan. 😛
Dave W says:
Wow. Your first two, Zandra and Anna are my faves. Clearly I like darker skin tones. But my goodness, they are all beautiful.
Don't tell my fiance I said that, huh?
Gary says:
Gee Dave W. You just told everyone on the internet, how will you fiance not find out??? 🙂
Anne says:
wow Dave,
they are all beautiful, i like all Anna's name, Filipina beauties
likes all over the world. when i was a kid, one of my dreams is
to become Ms. Philippines lol, but i'm not lucky aside i'm a short woman, no beauty and no brain lol.
Bill Sheffield says:
Before I even read any of the comments, I was thinking the exact same thing, you see these kind of beautiful ladies everywhere you go in the Philippines. I have never been anywhere in the world where you can see so many beautiful women just by going to a mall, walking down a street, or just driving around ,,, cities or out in the country, anywhere.
My plan is to hopefully retire in the next 5 years, and we will move their. I read many bloggers,(always click on here first everyday though) and want so much to move their. I just got home from their 3 weeks ago today, and miss it very much. I Know living their, and going their for 6 weeks vacation is 2 totally different worlds though, to wake up their one morning, and realize, hey, I live here, I cant go home,,this is my home kinda worries me though. Its a lot different than moving from Missouri to Virginia. VERY MUCH to plan, thats for sure, but we really would like to at least give it a try. Davao or Samal are both on the top of our short list of places to go their. Want to be away from all the heavyly congested areas, and roosters crowing (probably not possible, I know) but within a hour or so of malls and a good hospital, not getting any younger. Havnt been to your area yet though Dave, and anxiously awaiting hearing your stories as you buy your land and build your house their, but not as anxious as you are I am sure.
Just knowing though, that anywhere I go, I will see beautiful smiling and friendly ladies just like the ones above.
wayne says:

CJ Cook says:
WOW!!"It's more fun in the Philippines!" CDO here I come… Dave just want you to know I got smacked on the back of my head by my sweet asawa when she caught me drooling :-)Nice. I don't think she will let me out of her site once we move but on the other hand I must confess I think that my asawa has to be one of the best!
Kim says:
Nice choices. I am from Iloilo working as an accountant in Dubai and I cant believe I just spent the rest of my day-off just browsing and reading over your posts especially those pertaining to anything about Iloilo and coming from an expat's perspective. You see, its been three years since I went home as I have been busy working in Qatar and now in Dubai. I am planning to go home this July and I just might bump into your usual SM trips as I am a frequent visitor of that mall myself. I had a wonderful time reading your posts as well as the comments from your readers and I look forward to your future escapdes in Iloilo and the rest of the Philippines. Ciao!
CJ Cook says:
I agree Dave ALL of our asawas should be in a Beauty contest! I tell everyone that my wife's sweetness is my weakness ;-)Hey, by the way HAPPY EASTER!!
PapaDuck says:
I would have to agree with CJ and You, Our Asawas/Fiances belong right there with all the beauty contestants. I just don't understand why more people do not move there. Those beautiful ladies are there for the taking. I guess its there loss. Take care and have a nice Easter and enjoy your Easter Ham
Fearless Frank from Florida says:
They are all Beautiful, It must have been hard to pick the top five.
Gary says:
Living in the Philippines is the most fun I have had since I fed my little brother to the pigs. That was great fun but it didn't last very long…… now I am an only child. 😛
Lee says:
Dave, they all look great! They look very fair skinned! hahahaha It's taken a year and a half here in the USA, but I have actually gotten my wife to allow some sun to reach her skin and let nature darken her up. Those of you with Filipino wives or Fiancee's know what I am talking about, they want nothing to do with dark, but here in the USA dark is in!!!
Gary says:
If I wanted a white woman I could have stayed in Michigan. A dark skin here tells everyone you are poor. A person's color has nothing to do with who they are. Look to the heart…
fearless Frank from Florida says:
As you know, I have fair skin but I would love to have the beautiful tanned looking skin that everyone there has.
We all need to celebrate diversity and not judge anyone because of the color of their skin

White Fang
by Jack London
White Fang Part 3 Summary
The Makers of Fire
- One day, the cub runs into the scariest animal of all: man. Specifically, a quintet of Native Americans. He finds himself both scared and hypnotized by them.
- One of the men leans down to pet him and he bites the hand. He gets a whack with a club for his troubles.
- Mom shows up to save him, but one of the Native Americans calls out "Kiche!" and she responds with joy. His name is Grey Beaver, and Kiche was his brother's dog-wolf before she ran away.
- Grey Beaver names the pup White Fang, then another Native American rolls him over and rubs his belly. He's rendered powerless by the belly rub, like all living, breathing things.
- They go back to the Native American camp, where White Fang runs into a larger dog named Lip-lip.
- And… fight.
- Lip-lip bites at a spot previously injured by the lynx. White Fang Hulks out on him, but Lip-lip still carries the day.
- White Fang soon heads out on another adventure: watching Grey Beaver build a fire. He touches the flame and immediately learns why nobody ever touches the flame.
- He crawls back to his mother and sleeps, homesick for the cave.
The Bondage
- White Fang grows up in the Native American camp, learning how both just and cruel his new man-gods can be.
- He submits to his masters, though Lip-lip continues to give him grief.
- About that… the constant bullying from the other dog makes White Fang nasty, sneaky and generally hard to be around.
- White Fang finally gets his revenge by luring Lip-lip into close range of Kiche, who is still tied up. Mom messes the bully up. As moms do.
- Lip-lip escapes, injured, and White Fang harshes him further when he tries to howl.
- Grey Beaver eventually lets Kiche run free, and White Fang never leaves his mother's side.
- They both hear the call of the wild, but don't respond to it.
- Another Native American in the camp, Three Eagles, takes Kiche away to sell her. White Fang tries to follow the canoe and gets beaten for his troubles.
- While rowing back to camp, Grey Beaver nudges White Fang aside with his foot. White Fang bites. The beatings continue; morale does not improve.
- When the savaged White Fang returns to camp, Lip-lip jumps him. Grey Beaver beats Lip-lip and drives him away.
- White Fang follows Grey Beaver to his tee-pee. When he howls to mourn his mother, Grey Beaver beats him.
- White Fang stays in the village, hoping his mother will return. Grey Beaver treats him tolerably and feeds him meat. As if that somehow makes the rampant animal abuse okay.
The Outcast
- White Fang, constantly pushed by Lip-lip, becomes meaner and nastier than he should be.
- He soon finds himself the outcast, playing bespectacled nerd to Lip-lip's captain of the football team.
- But he fights back, learning the art of wolf ninjutsu and sneaking up on his foes before they can jump him. He steals meat this way, too.
- One night, he kills another dog out in the woods. The tribe cries for vengeance, but Grey Beaver says "no." (This dude is all over the map.)
- A strange dynamic develops: the rest of the dogs band together against White Fang. When he catches one alone, he pounds them. All other times, they pound him.
- Like any bullied kid, he gets mean. Really mean. If he'd done anything else, he would have died.
The Trail of the Gods
- The Native Americans strike their camp in the fall and White Fang sees his chance to return to the wild. (Or the Wild, as London puts it.)
- He runs away. Grey Beaver and his family look for him but eventually give up.
- White Fang soon realizes that he's grown soft; he can't survive in the Wild the way he used to.
- He sits in the spot where Grey Beaver's teepee used to stand and give the loneliest wolf howl of all time.
- He follows the Native American camp along the river. He's strong and smart and doesn't give up. Mama would be proud.
- He finds Grey Beaver's camp and enters, expecting another round of beatings. Instead, Grey Beaver gives him meat. He's now Grey Beaver's… by choice.
The Covenant
- In the winter, Grey Beaver and his family take a sledding trip. Grey Beaver's son Mit-sah gets his old sled drawn by puppies, including White Fang.
- Mit-sah puts Lip-lip at the head of the team. It's supposedly an honor, but Mit-sah doesn't like Lip-lip and the spot gives the other dogs a chance to beat up on him.
- White Fang, on the other hand, is quite the teacher's pet. He hates the other dogs, which makes him more of a man-lover than they. Even so, he's completely indifferent to Grey Beaver. Because, you know, beatings.
- They arrive at a village and White Fang eats meat chips falling from boy cutting up a moose. The boy tries to beat him and White Fang bites him.
- Grey Beaver defends White Fang, and he and his family are persecuted.
- White Fang stands up for Mit-sah when the other boys torment him. Grey Beaver likes the cut of his jib and rewards him with meat.
- White Fang learns that guarding man and his property earns him rewards. That's a big deal for White Fang. London calls it "the covenant between dog and man." (13.24)
The Famine
- White Fang and Grey Beaver's family return to the village in the spring. It's good to be home. Plus, White Fang is now big and scary.
- An old dog named Baseek, who used to bully White Fang, tries to take a bone from him. White Fang, who would have wilted like a flower before winter, now puts the smackdown on the older dog.
- In the summer, he runs into Kiche with a litter of puppies. He's happy to see her, but she doesn't recognize him. She has a new family now, and the older, skunkier model just doesn't fit into her plans. He takes a beating from her, and lets himself get driven away.
- He lives his life, fairly bitter but not totally miserable.
- When he's three years old, a famine comes to the Native Americans. Old folks die, dogs kill each other and only the strong survive. Luckily, White Fang is in the latter category.
- He hunts squirrels to stay alive. Then mice. Then rabbits from Grey Beaver's traps. Then another wolf. It's pretty hard-core.
- He's chased by a wolf pack, but turns the tables on them and kills one of their own.
- He finds himself back at his old stomping grounds: the cave where he grew up. Kiche is there, with a dying litter of cubs. She chases White Fang away and he's content to go.
- Finally, he meets Lip-lip out in the forest. And… fight. This time, White Fang kills Lip-lip with extreme prejudice (or at least as much prejudice as a half-tamed wolf dog can muster.)
- Soon thereafter, he returns to the Native American village. The famine has passed and Grey Beaver's wife Kloo-kooch gives him a fresh fish.

MUMBAI: The government is likely to accelerate the process of setting up a coal regulator and speed up the auction of blocks in response to the leaked draft report of the CAG that said the government lost Rs 10.7 lakh crore of revenue by giving away coal blocks to companies instead of inviting bids, power utilities and sector experts said.
The fact that allocation of blocks has been under the scanner has renewed hopes that the government may soon work on reforms to bring about more transparency in coal pricing and auction, they said. "There has always been a need for regulator to separate coal allocation and pricing from politics. Its case becomes stronger as putting in place a regulator would bring about more transparency in resource monetisation and pricing," GMR Group's chief financial officer A Subbarao said.

Instead, it was a referendum on the chances of guard Baron Davis earning a spot on the Western Conference All-Star team. And you didn't need to be an expert exit pollster to get an idea of how the Warriors think the voting should go.
"Man, he's definitely going to make it," Warriors forward Al Harrington said. "There's no way they're going to keep him off the team this year. The way he's been playing, if he doesn't make it, it's a conspiracy."
If Davis doesn't gain a third trip to the All-Star Game he represented the Hornets in 2001-02 and 2003-04 it won't be for lack of an overstuffed statistical resume: His per-game averages are 22.4 points (12th in the NBA), 8.2 assists (seventh), 4.8 rebounds and 2.37 steals (second).
"He certainly deserves to (be an All-Star), and his numbers will speak for themselves," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "And our record is good enough that he should be considered by anybody. I would hope that he makes it . . . But hey, there's a lot of competition. Somebody always gets left out that's deserving."
That's a near certainty this time around. The fans select two starting guards, and then the Western Conference coaches can pick at least two and as many as four others.
Right now, the leading vote-getters for the two starting spots are Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady of Houston, although Iverson and Steve Nash of Phoenix are gaining ground on theinjured Rocket. In addition to those four players, other top candidates include Davis, San Antonio's Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, Portland's Brandon Roy, Utah's Deron Williams and New Orleans' Chris Paul.
Despite the crowded field, don't expect Davis to come out with posters or leaflets or some other kind of attention-drawing device.
"I'm just not the one to campaign for myself. I do what I've got to do on the court, try to get better and make sure that my team is winning," Davis said. "The respect of my peers is more important than anything, and the respect of my teammates. I'm not one to kind of look at the All-Star game and say that I gotta get there, or I deserve it."
Nelson is willing to make calls on Davis' behalf, if that's what the candidate wants. But even a conversation with the second-winningest coach in NBA history might not be enough to open the mind of someone such as Hornets coach Byron Scott, whose legendary clashes with Davis were a large part of why the latter was traded to the Warriors in the first place.
"Everybody's got their own personal opinions," Davis said when asked about Scott's potential vote. "The bottom line is, you prove who you are out there on that floor. No matter what no vote says, or what somebody else says, I've proven myself out there. If they don't think I'm as good as any other player in this league, so be it. But I know that my job is to go out there and prove everybody wrong."
NOTES: As planned, the Warriors signed rookie guard CJ Watson to a 10-day contract Tuesday. The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder "looked like a really nice young player," Nelson said. "His game is simple, and he made a lot of really good basketball plays." Watson's instructions were simple as well. "They just want me to come in and play my game, do the same thing I was doing in the D-League, be aggressive and not be passive," Watson said. ... Watson has heard all about new teammate Kelenna Azubuike's successful transition last season from the D-League to the NBA proper, because they share the same agent, Mike Higgins. "That's all my agent talks about, is (Azubuike's) story," Watson said. "It's pretty cool seeing him. Hopefully, I'll be the next story." ... The Warriors scrimmaged four-on-four while big-minute players Davis, Stephen Jackson, Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins worked out individually. ... Forward Brandan Wright had his day cut short when Harrington made a lunging attempt for a swiping steal, but accidentally dealt the rookie a hand to the left eye. "These kids are not built like they used to be," Harrington joked.

I am not happy with my weight gain but I just can't bring myself to take anything besides the occasional Ibuprofen. I guess I'll just have to stick to the safe and tested slimming methods which I may add I am not having much progress yet, haha! But hey, quitters never win! That's the spirit, lol!

Metropolitan Transportation Authority $435 Million Series 2002F Revenue Bonds Rated 'A' Oct 02
- October 2002
- Standard & Poors
NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) Oct. 25, 2002--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today assigned its single-'A' rating to the Metropolitan Transit Authority's (MTA) $435 million series 2002F transportation revenue bonds. The outlook is stable. "The rating is based on the essential mass transit service the MTA provides to the New York City metropolitan area, improving operations and ridership trends, a diverse revenue stream, and strong support from the state and city," said credit analyst Laura Macdonald. "These strengths are offset by a large, ongoing capital program that will be largely debt financed," she added. Bond proceeds will be used to refund the outstanding debt associated with the MTA's transit and commuter facilities revenue bonds. The current debt is being issued...

I am going to be making corn dogs from scratch tomorrow for dinner. The recipe calls for putting a wooden skewer through the dog, and then fry. I do not have a deep fryer and I also do not have any wooden skewers.
What I need to ask, if I coat the dogs in the cornmeal mixture, can I throw them in the pan with oil as is and turn them once one side is browned? I am assuming it would work, but if anyone has any other ideas, they will be welcomed.
Oh, almost forgot, what else tastes good as side dishes with corn dogs, other than cole slaw? Also, what condiment is good with corn dogs?
Everything is okay in the end, if it's not okay, then it's not the end.
I don't know about sides, but I almost always have catsup on my corn dogs. I think a chili cheese mixture would be good.
I have never made any from scratch. I buy the Bryan corn dogs. We always open a can of Hormel chil w/ beans to dip our corn dogs in. We eat a green salad, also.
Love mustard on corn dogs.
Linda_Rae has a really good recipe for corn dogs. Try PMing her with your questions.
Some days, I can literally see the testosterone floating in the air around here.
I don't think it will work. The atter/dough will spread in a pan
I suggest you fix something else and next time you go to a dollar store, pick up some skewers. You can deep fry in any deep, tall and narrow pan.. You can only fry two of them at the time unless you have more than 2 hands.
Stick the skewers 3/4 of the length of the wiener, coat with batter and immediately immerse in deep fat (350 degrees). While in the dollar store, buy a deep fry thermometer (candy thermometer).
PS, you could bake the wieners into a big pan of cornbread until you get set up for deep frying. Put your cornbread batter in a 9 X 13" pan and then distribute the dogs in a row and push them in a bit. The you can cut slices with dogs in them. (less fat that way, too)
I agree with a green salad as a side instead of slaw. Salad and a helping of baked bens goes with corn dogs like:
Love and Marriage go together like a hose and carriage.......
Got any popsicle sticks...or taffy apple sticks? I also agree that it's quite possible that while you're frying the 1st side...the batter is going to be sliding off the top & sides in the pan. Maybe if it's a really stiff batter it'll be OK. And, I like mustard on my hot dogs :-) I would think french fries, potato chips, fresh veggies...relish tray w/carrots, celery, peppers cut into slides & raw cauliflower, broccoli....w/the fried corn dogs...you might want to get some fresh veggies in. Or, once you've got the grease hot...make your own potato chips or fries.
Use a pan or dutch oven deep enough that when you drop in the dog the entire thing is in hot oil. I have done them in my electric skillet which is deep enough and it worked fine. make sure you soak the skewers in water first. Also I use the cheese filled dog.
What time is Dinner?!
Seriously though, I always have Mustard with my Corn Dogs. How 'bout some Potato Chips on the side?
Good Luck & Happy Cooking!
I would vote for chips, cole slaw and baked beans. I think you need the sticks.
I saw them made on food network once. Either Alton Brown or Sandra Lee did them. They just put oil in a deep skillet and the stick stuck out over the side of the pan. They turned it several times so the batter would stay on the dog. You could probably go to the website and search it.
Another tip is to buy a tube of refrigerated cornbread dough strips and wrap them around the dog and fry that way. Not bad.
I'm not psycho.....I just like psychotic things.
Adria's World
This takes you to the video.
OK, I see now he used a home size individual deep fryer but I'm sure your water boiling pan would work or fry daddy or whatever you have.
I never use sticks in my corn dogs. Just coat the hot dogs and drop them in a pot with about 3 inches of hot oil in there. I also cut them in thirds first. We eat ours on a plate with a fork and dip them in mustard.
I made a ton of corn dogs for our block party a couple of years ago. Because we all make loads of food and share it, I cut the hot dogs in half, coated them, droped them in hot oil (WITHOUT STICKS) and cooked them slightly under done. I did all that ahead of time. And just popped them on the grill, over very low heat, to warm them up when it was time to eat. They worked out just fine. I'd recommend, if you're not using sticks, that you make sure you have decent tongs for working with the hot oil. But you'll have no problem doing them without sticks.

My wife, Carol, and I met Soren Ray Yates, our first grandchild, on Nov. 19th. He lives in Phoenix and it was one of those moments you never forget. I had seen a hundred or more pictures on his dad's Web site but the in-person meeting created a swell in my chest.
He was just barely a month old and didn't seem to relish the moment as I did. Two years ago I resigned myself to the fact that no grandchildren were in my future. Then came Soren and another, thanks to my son and his beautiful wife, is due in April.
Soren's mother, Betsy, asked me if I felt old being a grandfather. To tell the truth I didn't. However, I did feel a sense of amazement. It was almost as though I was watching a movie of the events. The generations were being propelled into the future while the branches of my tree were growing. As I held Soren and looked into his dark blue eyes, I wondered what successes he would achieve and what loves he would experience. His potential is endless. My telling him about his potential meant little to him. However, the sound of my voice and the warmth of my touch comforted him.
This was one of those events that shake you from the complacencies of everyday life and re-emphasize what is important. So often, we find ourselves plowing through tasks before us, work on Monday through Friday, chores on Saturday, and football on Sunday. Some of us begin to take those important people around us for granted. When I once again saw the beginning of life, I was reminded that work, chores, or football are actually far back on my priority list. People head the list, my family, my neighbors, and my clients.
The same is true at work. We take for granted the report will be on time as it is every month or the smile we receive as we walk into the office each morning. We realize that the value-added things people around us do everyday are not acknowledged as regularly as they should be.
Some people tell me they don't need that "Thank you" or "I appreciate that" but I don't buy it. Now maybe I am projecting on others, but I believe people want and need positive feedback. The best leaders I have known understood this need and want. Tomorrow when you go to work, find that person who has helped you the most and that person who has shown potential and tell them how you feel. I guarantee you the motivation of that person will grow proportionally with the feedback.

St Patrick's Night at the Camel Bar
While Egypt is a land rich with its own culture spanning thousands of years it, like most others, isn't immune to the odd import.
With this in mind, it's hardly surprising that there will be a little corner of Sharm El Sheikh celebrating St Patrick's Night on March 17th.
Quite how the Guinness will taste is anybody's guess but there's no doubt that the place to be for visitors on Egypt tours is the Camel Bar, a key nightspot in this popular tourist destination and part of the Camel Hotel which boasts its own dive school.
In keeping with the season the bar will become a repository for all things Irish. A good time can be had on any night of the year but on Paddy's Day there's an extra special party mood, replete with the obligatory shamrocks, fiddle music and ill-conceived over-sized headgear.
Dressing up is pretty much de rigueur so those planning to pay a visit on this particular night had better pack a few extra items in their suitcases.

And beginning this week, the Delta Area Economic Opportunity Corporation county offices will hold back-to-school fairs to help low-income families get ready.
"There are a lot of people whose income is limited and it's hard to pay the utilities and buy food as it is," said Carol Cohen, community resource developer for DAEOC in Scott County. "When they come up on the expense to buy school supplies, the money is just not there."

For a long time, Mahesh Chauhan's future career moves was an oft discussed topic in ad land. First, it began with the man de-toxifying himself with a Vipassana course. The next round of buzz began with news of Mash planning to start his own outfit. But there were some tantalising twists to the story — for one line of thread said that Mash is teaming up with Y&R to start a creative outfit and another was Mash is joining forces with Oni (Aniruddha Banerjee, formerly with Publicis Ambience). But the man denied it all.

Google Launches Hotpot for Local Hot Spots
Google late Monday announced the creation of a "local recommendation" site where users can rate local businesses such as restaurants and hotels, get recommendations from the site as to which businesses they might like, and share ratings with friends and see the places those friends recommend visiting.
The new service, called Hotpot, is another push by Google onto the turf of sites such as Yelp.com and CitySearch.com that offer user-generated reviews of local businesses. Hotpot, which leverages Google's database of 50 million "places" worldwide, is an attempt by the Web search giant to establish a kind of social network for people who want to plan a night out in their hometown or during trips to other cities or countries.
To see reviews by their friends, Hotpot users with a Gmail email account can invite their email contacts to join Hotpot. The site, developed by Google product manager Lior Ron, doesn't currently allow people to connect with their Facebook friends or Twitter contacts on the site.
"We're open to working with many types of partners in order to provide a product and local search experience that works well for both users and business owners," a Google spokeswoman said.
When the user searches for information about local pubs on Google's search engine, reviews of pubs made by the user's friends will show up prominently.
Yelp has recently focused on building out mobile-device apps so people can use the service – and quickly rate businesses – while traveling. Google, too, is making the service available on mobile devices through its Google Maps of Google Places apps on phones powered by Android.
In recent years, Google has watched as sites like Yelp have become the first stop for some Internet users in their search for good local businesses like restaurants, dentists, taxi cab companies, among others. Google tried to buy Yelp last year but the deal fell through, people familiar with the matter have said.
Since then, Google has been enhancing its search engine with more information about local businesses, in part to get more advertising dollars from local businesses.

The Real Iraq We Knew
By 12 former Army captains
Tuesday, October 16, 2007; 12:00 AM
Today marks five years since the authorization of military force in Iraq, setting Operation Iraqi Freedom in motion. Five years on, the Iraq war is as undermanned and under-resourced as it was from the start. And, five years on, Iraq is in shambles.
As Army captains who served in Baghdad and beyond, we've seen the corruption and the sectarian division. We understand what it's like to be stretched too thin. And we know when it's time to get out.
What does Iraq look like on the ground? It's certainly far from being a modern, self-sustaining country. Many roads, bridges, schools and hospitals are in deplorable condition. Fewer people have access to drinking water or sewage systems than before the war. And Baghdad is averaging less than eight hours of electricity a day.
Iraq's institutional infrastructure, too, is sorely wanting. Even if the Iraqis wanted to work together and accept the national identity foisted upon them in 1920s, the ministries do not have enough trained administrators or technicians to coordinate themselves. At the local level, most communities are still controlled by the same autocratic sheiks that ruled under Saddam. There is no reliable postal system. No effective banking system. No registration system to monitor the population and its needs.
The inability to govern is exacerbated at all levels by widespread corruption. Transparency International ranks Iraq as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. And, indeed, many of us witnessed the exploitation of U.S. tax dollars by Iraqi officials and military officers. Sabotage and graft have had a particularly deleterious impact on Iraq's oil industry, which still fails to produce the revenue that Pentagon war planners hoped would pay for Iraq's reconstruction. Yet holding people accountable has proved difficult. The first commissioner of a panel charged with preventing and investigating corruption resigned last month, citing pressure from the government and threats on his life.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. military has been trying in vain to hold the country together. Even with "the surge," we simply do not have enough soldiers and marines to meet the professed goals of clearing areas from insurgent control, holding them securely and building sustainable institutions. Though temporary reinforcing operations in places like Fallujah, An Najaf, Tal Afar, and now Baghdad may brief well on PowerPoint presentations, in practice they just push insurgents to another spot on the map and often strengthen the insurgents' cause by harassing locals to a point of swayed allegiances. Millions of Iraqis correctly recognize these actions for what they are and vote with their feet -- moving within Iraq or leaving the country entirely. Still, our colonels and generals keep holding on to flawed concepts.
U.S. forces, responsible for too many objectives and too much "battle space," are vulnerable targets. The sad inevitability of a protracted draw-down is further escalation of attacks -- on U.S. troops, civilian leaders and advisory teams. They would also no doubt get caught in the crossfire of the imminent Iraqi civil war.
Iraqi security forces would not be able to salvage the situation. Even if all the Iraqi military and police were properly trained, equipped and truly committed, their 346,000 personnel would be too few. As it is, Iraqi soldiers quit at will. The police are effectively controlled by militias. And, again, corruption is debilitating. U.S. tax dollars enrich self-serving generals and support the very elements that will battle each other after we're gone.
This is Operation Iraqi Freedom and the reality we experienced. This is what we tried to communicate up the chain of command. This is either what did not get passed on to our civilian leadership or what our civilian leaders chose to ignore. While our generals pursue a strategy dependent on peace breaking out, the Iraqis prepare for their war -- and our servicemen and women, and their families, continue to suffer.
There is one way we might be able to succeed in Iraq. To continue an operation of this intensity and duration, we would have to abandon our volunteer military for compulsory service. Short of that, our best option is to leave Iraq immediately. A scaled withdrawal will not prevent a civil war, and it will spend more blood and treasure on a losing proposition.
America, it has been five years. It's time to make a choice.

Jeffrey Bouldin served in Al Anbar, Baghdad and Ninevah in 2006. Jason Bugajski served in Diyala in 2004. Anton Kemps served in Babil and Baghdad in 2003 and 2005. Kristy (Luken) McCormick served in Ninevah in 2003. Luis Carlos Montalván served in Anbar, Baghdad and Nineveh in 2003 and 2005. William Murphy served in Babil and Baghdad in 2003 and 2005. Josh Rizzo served in Baghdad in 2006. William "Jamie" Ruehl served in Nineveh in 2004. Gregg Tharp served in Babil and Baghdad in 2003 and 2005. Gary Williams served in Baghdad in 2003.

I agree. A draft/conscription is the only way we will be able to summon enough manpower to adequately occupy and administer Iraq. We simply don't have enough troops on the ground now.

I will beleive what a Captain has to say over the like of general petraeus anyday. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld messed this up so bad and their only solution is to keep at it. Once the draft is reinstated you can bet the rich republicans with kids will be crying for the war to end.

The world should say to the US, we don't care if it takes trillions of dollars, busts the shite out of your economy, and takes 20 years, you're going to stay until you clean the pile of shite you made, and maybe in future, before you go playing cowboy and messing in others business, you'll actually reflect for a moment about the cons More..

2 Guns sequel looking possible
Discussions are underway about 3 Guns, a sequel to the hit movie 2 Guns, starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg...
One of the surprise successes of 2013 at the box office was the film 2 Guns, which took over $130m worldwide. The movie, which stars Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington, arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK today, and it's really quite a lot of fun. It's certainly one of the better action movies of the year.
It was also a film that didn't cost too much to make, and there's a ready-made story to go with should they decide to press ahead with another movie. For 2 Guns was based on a comic book by Steven Grant, and he's already penned a follow-up, by the name of 3 Guns.
Producer Randal Emmett, chatting to Collider, said that "I think we're having that conversation", when asked about a sequel. "I don't want to be so bold as to say, you know, it's 100%. Of course if comes down to Denzel and Mark and the director, Baltasar [Kormakur], who's doing Everest now ... we, of course, would love to do a sequel and we are pushing for a sequel".
We'll have more news on 2 Guns 2, or 3 Guns, as we get it...
