Kissing a priest's hand for a blessing - Simon - 06-02-2009
Despite my technological difficulties here, I will attempt one more posting today. I know there are those who can have difficulties about kissing a priest's hand (or even a bishop's hand for that matter), difficulties sometimes increased depending on their current or previous Christian tradition. Well, so can some of us priests have difficulties with this. I was reminded of all this recently in an email exchange and thought I would share in here my experience. This is not a theologically argued piece nor perhaps for anyone else a deep and profound spiritual insight (those it is that for me) but something from my own memories and experiences...
I was in Egypt in 2004 and we visited a convent and the abbess, a devout and deeply spiritual person if ever I met one in all my life, went to kiss the back of my hand and I managed to do what I had seen Coptic priests and bishops do, and turn my hand so we touched hands as equals? and she looked at me. I couldn?t read that look. It wasn?t one of reproach, of that I am sure ? I cannot imagine her reproaching a priest even with her eyes? Perhaps it was nothing other than surprise, though I think I saw something else in her deep eyes. I really don?t know. But this I do know. That moment has haunted me, at any rate stayed with me. What did I do that day? I will tell you what I did. I deprived her of a blessing. From the beginning of being a priest I wasn?t comfortable about having my hand kissed (you know the sort of thing ? feelings of unworthiness, an awareness, however feeble, of my own sinfulness) and so I tried to work through different approaches and came to the position that when I was vested for the Liturgy I would allow my hands to be kissed for they were not there for my benefit but for everyone else?s but that when just dressed in my black robe (other than in Morning & Evening Incense when the people kiss the priest's hand) I would turn the hand as I had seen some Coptic clergy do. That moment with the abbess cured me of all that. If someone wants to kiss my hand who am I to deprive them?

I read somewhere that the characteristic gesture of the Orthodox Church is the kiss, whereas in the Roman Church it is the genuflection. The former is an expression of love while the latter is an expression of obedience. This is no doubt simplistic but it seemed to me to have some truth to it. In Orthodoxy the kiss is also how the faithful receive a blessing, either from a priest, an icon or a relic. Unfortunately Anglo Saxons, especially men, have a problem with kissing generally, unlike Middle Eastern men or indeed those just across the Channel. We need to overcome this, and our clergy similarly must try to get round their feelings of unworthyness or embarrassment. I'm not suggesting that we in the BOC should adopt the custom of other Orthodox Churches where adult men greet each other with a kiss on the cheek - that would be a step too far for us inhibited northerners, but the liturgical kiss on the handcross, on the hand of the priest, the icon, the relic and so on, should be seen as not only normal but the source of great blessing and something to be encouraged.
In passing I should say that I too like Fr Simon have difficulty with this site, not only because I freqently forget my password but because I am often timed out as the thing seems to be so slow.

kissing a priest's hand for a blessing - kirk yacoub - 07-03-2009
Just a note on this one. When I kiss or, rather, attempt to kiss, the hand of Bishop Athanasios Touma, he immediately whips the hand way before my lips touch. He does this with everyone, not just me(!) excepting children, when the quickly withdrawn hand sometimes jumps up again to tweak a young nose.
What I make of this is that we, the parishioners, show our respect to the Holy Office, given by God, and the recipient withdraws to avoid pride and show his mere humanity.

Dear Kirk,
Yes this response of your bishop is exactly the response I have seen from Coptic Orthodox bishops and priests too both in this country and many, many times in Egypt. I mean no criticism of any of them in any way whatsoever and I am sure that you have expounded the position accurately both for the laity who try to kiss and for the clergy who move the hand away. But for me, ever since that moment after I withdrew my hand from the nun there has only been one response: I have to leave my hand there to be kissed.
Pray for me,
kissing a priest's hand for a blessing - kirk yacoub - 16-03-2009
Stop Press!
At the end of the Liturgy yesterday I went to kiss Bishop Athanasios Touma's hand. To my surprise he didn't take the hand away! Having expected him to do so I was left with puckered lips hovering in the air!
Am I confused? Maybe.

- JohnFam - 01-04-2009
Dear Fr. Simon,
First of all, it is a pleasure to be able to get in touch with my fathers, brothers, and sisters in the Faith through this forum. I am John Fam, and I am Coptic Orthodox. I'm Egyptian, from Alexandria, Egypt. I've been looking at this topic about kissing priests' hands, and I've been looking at the incident you were describing, Father, when you were greeting a Nun in an Egyptian Convent the way Coptic priests greet each other. The thing is, what you described is commonly a method of greeting between two priests or bishops, but commonly when a nun greets a priest, she would kiss his hand just like any common person would. She isn't usually greeted the way priests greet each other (by turning the hands sideways), because she does not have the rank of priesthood. Perhaps that's another reason why she was surprised, besides the fact that she didn't get the blessing of kissing a priest's hand.
I went to a private British school as a child, with British teachers and some British classmates, so I kind of have a general understanding of British culture, and of Egyptian culture of course. So I think the hand-kissing issue is , as well as being a difference between Coptic and British traditions, is also related to cultural differences. Anyway, they do not affect our Faith.

"This is like a dream cast," Roberts, 23, told PEOPLE Thursday at the film's New York premiere, at the Tribeca Film Festival. "It was one of those kind of lightning-in-a-bottle casts where, when we were on set, I was like, 'This really special. This isn't like a regular movie.' "
Added the actress: "James is someone [who] I've always wanted to work with … I was so nervous to meet him because I'm like, 'Oh, my god, is he going to be nice?' And he was so nice and such a great actor to work with and just a sweetheart."
In the film – which focuses on the experiences of rebellious high school students in an urban community of northern California – Franco, 36, and Roberts share a charged chemistry: Roberts's character gets caught up in a flirtatious streak with her soccer coach, played by Franco.
"It was fun," Roberts gushes about getting up close and personal with Franco. "Neither of us made it awkward, so it was great. And also, I think the fact that I was not actually 17 probably made things less weird. I was 21. I think that that kind of made things feel like we're pretending – this isn't real."
Tribeca Film
"You've definitely met this girl, and you know this guy and the parents," she explained. "You definitely have friends who have parents like that. And I think that's what makes the movie so fun to watch, because you're kind of seeing all of this unravel and relating it to your own experiences."

Cara L. Dickey pleaded guilty Wednesday to raping one of her South Buffalo Charter School pupils twice last summer.
The 30-year-old mother of three pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree (statutory) rape.
State Supreme Court Justice John L. Michalski said the Clarence resident faces two to five years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled April 22.
In addition, she will be designated a sex offender by the state and be forced to surrender her state teaching certificate.
During the plea proceeding, Dickey's eyes filled with tears.
Michalski told Dickey her pleas to two counts of second-degree rape could have carried a prison term of up to 14 years. He said he will impose up to eight years of post-prison supervision.
Though the sex was not forced, the boy was considered by law to be too young to have a consensual sexual encounter, which is why she was charged with second-degree rape.
With the mother of the 14-year-old victim in the downtown Buffalo courtroom, Dickey's voice cracked as the judge told her the prison term she faces.
"Yes, sir," she responded to the judge's questions.
At the request of prosecutor Colleen Curtin Gable, the judge also issued a temporary order of protection barring Dickey from trying to contact the victim.
Robert D. Steinhaus, attorney for the victim's father, who has custody of the boy, said he has already filed a notice of claim for a pending civil suit against both South Buffalo Charter School and Dickey over what he called an "extremely inappropriate" relationship. The father was not present for the plea proceeding.
Dickey admitted she had sex with the boy last June and again between July 1 and Aug. 15.
Fired last June, Dickey was found by state police sleeping in her vehicle in Springville last June 17 -- after she and the boy, an eighth-grader, had been missing for more than 21 hours. The boy was found in a Hamburg mall.
Dickey, who last June was charged with unlawful imprisonment and other counts, supplied the boy with rum, Tylenol and Nyquil as part of a suicide pact, according to police.
Daniel J. Chiacchia, Dickey's lawyer, declined to comment following the plea proceeding.
Dickey's husband and the father of her three children was not in court for the plea.
Steinhaus said the victim's family is doing "as well as can be expected under these horrible circumstances."e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Academic Experience:
There's a lot of different programs offered now than their where when I first began. It's all about how much time you have to offer.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
If anything, the financial aid part of my school has got to be the most frustrating. You never really know what's going on because things change on a consistent basis and there's always something new that you discover. They've kept things pretty on track for myself, but other students have had it rough. It's scary not knowing your next move and them not knowing it either.
Campus Resources:
There's nothing really special or different about my school compared to others, besides the teachers. Each teacher has their own story which can be very reassuring and fascinating in the same instant.
Student Body:
Students treat each and every indivdual with respect and dignity.
Campus Resources:
We do not exactly have an athletic center, but are library, bathrooms and science labs are more than up to par.
Campus Resources:
The computer network is not always up to date, but the ones that are available are usually pretty reliable. Getting work done via computer does not seem to be too much of an issue, they keep things running smoothly and efficently.
Academic Flexibility:
Teachers Are Not Good – Not enough students in the Medical Billing & Coding program. I was the only student sometimes there were only two students. The medical billing and coding teacher didn't teach anything. I learned nothing in the Medisoft class. We did the work but didn't even check it but I still received a B. I don't see how if I didn't complete it because we spent too much time on other stuff.
Student Body:
The student body is very helpful of it's classmates and supportive as well. This is very important considering that most of my classmates are working as well as attending school full time. Study groups are very helpful in assisting the student body to prepare when there are so many demands in everyone's daily routine.
Online Courses:
I am not aware that there are any online courses at Anthem College. The course work that I am registered for is hands on and requires that I be in class with hands on instruction. (Massage Therapy).
Overall Experience:
My School Experience – I am happy with my school. The knowledge of the professors, my classmates and the general comradery make it an atmosphere condusive to learning.
Career Services:
They have alot in store for the students. I love my school and i would recomend it to anyone who wants to study the kind of programs they have to offer.
Online Courses:
Depending on the program you are enrolled in are online courses avalible. Since we do alot of hands on training online courses wouldnt be to convinient.
Overall Experience:
My College Is Awsome – Anthem College does what it needs to do to prepare you to go into the medical industry. The students and the teachers dress in scrubs to create the illusion that we are in a hospital. Outside of the class is not so strict. Student Services always has something fun planned like a watermelon eating contest, a cuttest pet contest, or a hula hoop contest. They also do things like blood donations and visits to the elderly as activities that tie into the medical intustry.
Overall Experience:
High Tech Is the Way to Go – I got a call, went in and was enrolled that day! I am about to go to extern and it's awesome

Eleven-year-old Cooper Durand practiced typing on the family computer in the living room, while his 6-year-old brother, Nick, sat on the nearby couch reading.
Did you know?
Home schooling is legal in all 50 states. Forty states have adopted specific home-school statutes.South Carolina is considered a state with moderate regulations, which means the state requires parents to provide notification, test scores and/or professional evaluation of students' progress.South Carolina's home-school law came into existence in 1988 and has been modified twice to expand parents' options on how they can receive approval to teach their children at home.Twenty-four states require standardized testing or evaluation for families operating under their home-school laws. South Carolina is not one of those states.Home School Legal Defense Association
Their oldest brother, 12-year-old Aiden, played clarinet in his room, and 8-year-old Joseph listened to a book on CD.
By the numbers
The number of students home-schooled in the Lowcountry and across the state in 2011-12.Berkeley483 Charleston673Dorchester489State11,328**Twenty-six of the state's 46 counties didn't give the state Department of Education any information about the number of home-school students in their area.Source: S.C. Department of Education
This is what home-schooling sometimes looks like at the Durands' home on James Island. Other times, it's all four boys crowded around the dining room table doing math problems. Or, perhaps, it's digging in the backyard garden, buying local milk from a Johns Island farm or learning about inventions at the Charleston Museum.
Some of that freedom seemed threatened recently by a new piece of legislation that home-school advocates say would limit what they do and how they do it.
Pushback from families has been swift and strong, and lawmakers behind the bill promise not to move forward with it. Still, they haven't ruled out future changes to the state's home-schooling law.
The situation has thrust home-schoolers to the center of the state's education stage for the first time in years.
Home schooling in S.C.
Across the state, more than 11,300 students were taught at home in 2011-12, and that's not counting more than half of the state's counties that didn't report figures. Previous years' numbers were unavailable. The state's public schools have about 700,000 students.
The state gives families three options for home schooling. They must be approved by their local school district, be approved through the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools or become a part of one of more than 30 home-grown home-school associations that are scattered across the state.
The Durand family chose the latter of those options, and that's the most popular route, according to state Department of Education figures. More than 80 percent of home-school families in the state do so through local associations, which tend to be the least expensive and least-regulated.
Students who go through local groups must meet certain state requirements, such as attending 180 days of school, keeping a portfolio of their work, and having semi-annual progress reports of their attendance and progress.
But students aren't required to take standardized exams, such as the state Palmetto Assessment of State Standards or the SAT college-entrance exam.
Susan Durand gives her sons tests in core academic subjects such as math and history, but they don't take standardized tests that are commonplace in public schools. Durand doesn't think it's necessary because she knows her children's strengths and weaknesses, she said.
"I can tailor the curriculum to each of my child's needs," she said. "I know this is what's best for us."
Associations, testing
All of that would've changed under a new proposal. The bill would have prohibited families from being allowed to home-school through local associations starting in July 2014, and it would have required all home-school students to take annual state accountability tests.
That's a problem for families who either don't teach the same material mandated in public schools, or don't teach in the same sequence as public schools. Home-school families say that would limit what and how they're able to teach.
For example, South Carolina public school students learn state history in third grade, but Durand has chosen to teach the world's history chronologically. If her children had to take the state's accountability exam, Durand would have to change her lessons.
Wendy Graham is director of the Christian Homeschoolers' Association of Southeastern S.C., which is a Summerville-based association with nearly 640 local students. She's also taught her three children at home.
Many home-school families aim above the state standards, and their children are working at higher levels, she said. She called the proposed level of state oversight unwarranted and unnecessary.
"I see no benefit (in the proposal) whatsoever," she said. "Our heart is in what's best for children. Our curriculum choices may change, and we could lose the freedom we have."
Lawmakers' intentions
Rep. Doug Brannon, R-Spartanburg, was the bill's primary sponsor. He said he plans to request that the bill remain in subcommittee without a hearing. He said he no longer supports the proposal and doesn't want to see it become law.
"The problem (with the bill) is too many wonderful home-school families would be impacted to make (the bill) worth passing into law," he said. "It's too much of a punishment on everyone who's doing it right for the relatively small number who aren't."
Brannon said his intention was to address cases of neglect that he often sees in family court. Parents will say that they've been home schooling their children when they actually have been keeping them at home without teaching them, he said.
He said he never had an issue with the lack of standardized testing for home-school students, but other lawmakers did. Brannon said legislative counsel drafted the bill with input from a number of legislators.
He knew what the bill contained when he submitted it, but he said, "I had no idea what an outcry it would create."
There could be multiple bills in the future on the state's home-schooling legislation, but any proposal of his would concentrate on being able to identify these students, he said. He thought it "very unlikely" that the current bill would receive a hearing or pass out of committee.
Rep. Jenny Horne, R-Dorchester, is another one of the bill's sponsors, and she said her concern was the same as Brannon's. It's impossible to verify whether parents who say they are teaching their children at home actually are doing so, she said. If families are serious about home schooling, they would register their children as required by the state, but neither court nor school officials have a way to see whether that has occurred, she said.
"I just want to make sure that when someone says they're home schooling, they're complying with the law," she said.
She said it's reasonable to put in accountability standards for home-school families, but the community doesn't want that.
Moving forward
Home-school families mobilized quickly in response to the bill. They formed a Facebook group to oppose it, and it's grown to more than more than 2,500 members.
They're planning to rally at the Statehouse, and they're taking T-shirt and bumper sticker orders to publicize their cause.
State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais has gotten behind the home-school community, saying he strongly supports their rights and doesn't want to restrict those freedoms.
Scott Reeves is president of the state Association of Independent Home Schools, and his five children are taught at home. He called the proposal a "bad" one. No other state has the kind of registry lawmakers are suggesting, and he said that kind of database could create problems for home-school families.
He was most concerned with the potential elimination of the local associations. Parents shouldn't be forced to choose between his association or their local school district, he said.
"I believe very much in a parent's right to educate their children," he said. "... Cutting out (that option) is wrong, unproductive and detrimental to home schooling as a whole."

Remember Alan Keyes?
Some of us here in Illinois have a weird fondness for Keyes stemming from his quixotic (to put it politely) race against Democrat Barack Obama for a U.S. Senate seat back in 2004.
Keyes, who had gained�some national notice when he ran for president in 1996 and 2000, �was recruited�for the Illinois contest�by Rockford State Sen. Dave Syverson, among others, when the winner of the GOP primary had to drop out in a sex scandal.
Keyes didn�t even live in Illinois, but the Republican poohbahs seemed to figure that their own articulate black guy could fare well ...

Aaron did a very good job of making a dry subject interesting and enjoyable. His addition of personal experiences was also humorous. His discussion responses were to the point and supportive. I would recommend his course for anyone interested in stocks and investing.
Aaron, GREAT class. I enjoyed it very much and learned a lot! I like your style of teaching, you made a tough and complicated subject, with some DRY material, come to life through stories and some life lessons. Thank you.
I had been looking for a course like this for years. This course should have some great applications in the real world.
I had very little understanding of stocks which is why I took this course. This class most definitely exceeded my expectations. Aaron did an excellent job of conveying detailed technical information in a useful and practical manner. I feel that I now have useful tools to finally make intelligent decisions when picking stocks. Thanks, Aaron!
I have a BS in Bus. Admin. and I feel I learned more in the 2 classes that Aaron taught than I did in college!! This opened my eyes to the finance world and I thoroughly enjoyed both classes. Thank you, Aaron.
I have been trying to learn more about the method of investments and stocks since I became disabled eight years ago. I read books in regards to this area but they are very dry and technical, this course was created by an instructor who has excellent insight into the understanding of how to communicate this information in a fashion to benefit everyone who takes the time to take the course. I have recommended this course to many of my friends who also are interested about the same information. Aaron is a wonderful instructor and I look forward to taking his next class on stocks. Thanks so much for the insight!
Terrific course, I learned a great deal. I'd been trying to grasp this stuff using various texts, but not doing too well at it. After this course, I feel like I can actually read a financial statement and get something useful from it. The material was explained incredibly well. I was very happy with the promptness and quality of responses to my questions.
The course content and instructor were far beyond what I expected. I learned more from twelve lessons than I would have learned in years of self research and study!
This 61-year-old grandmother was able to understand and enjoy this class. No one should hesitate to take it because they fear it will be too difficult. I learned a lot about placing a value on stocks.
This course has equipped me with tools that have increased my confidence in being able to pick great companies for a good price. I've already been putting these tools into practice in building my stock portfolio.

Cher Heading to DWTS: I'm Singing, Not Dancing
"It's always strange when people do something like this. You're not thinking about those kinds of things," she tells PEOPLE. "It just always takes me by surprise. It just does."
Cher will sing her hit "Believe" and her new song "Closer To The Truth" on the show, as well as serve as a guest judge, but won't be dancing because of a foot injury she sustained years ago. "I am waiting to have an operation," she says. "The doctor got a little crankier and said I have to do it."
Even if she could dance today, you won't find Cher dancing on DWTS as a contestant. "Aren't I old enough now not to be a contestant anymore?" the singer, 67, says. "Haven't I got past the contestant part?"
Her son, Chaz Bono, who was a contestant on DWTS, will be there for the tribute. "I am excited for it and he is too," she said. "But like me, he is low-key and won't get excited for it until that day. We are all low-key."
She says she is "so proud" of his dramatic weight loss. "People talk about losing weight? He did it."
As for finding love again, she says, "It's a thought. This is the problem, though. The moment you say you are dating someone, then everything falls to s---. And I am just tired of that."

The wait finally ended for more than 1,000 cheering fans Tuesday, as the Duchess of Cambridge, wearing a brown coat by Hobbs, stepped out in fog-bound Grimsby, a fishing port 180 miles north of London – some 80 minutes late after the clouds held up her helicopter.
As the mother-to-be, 31, was greeted by dignitaries at the National Heritage Fishing Center, an impatient crowd cried out, "We want Kate."
Turning around, the Duchess obliged them with a wave before continuing with her duties.
But the fans also were not shy about remarking on her condition. Bobbie Brown, 42, asked her if the baby had been moving, and Kate responded, "Yes, it is. Very much so."
"She's beautiful, much better than in the pictures," said Dorothy Garland, 74, who had waited about three hours for a glimpse. "She looks so well."
Inside the Fishing Center, which is a museum, Kate had a surprise meeting with a woman who had been shopping on London's Oxford Street last week at the same time as the Duchess – and had shared a smile with her.
Linda Mitchell, wife of a local Member of Parliament, told PEOPLE, "I said to her, 'We met in TopShop last Wednesday,' and she said yes. I asked her if she bought anything, and she said, 'A few bits.' I told her I was going to say 'hello' but that would have been difficult. She said it would have been wonderful."
After the museum, Kate's "away day" (as the royal staff call it), also included making her very first visit to see some of the work done by the Prince's Trust – the children's charity set up by her father-in-law Prince Charles to help disadvantaged youngsters seek work, training and education.
At the Peaks Lane Fire Station, Kate was due to see a 12-week personal development plan that helps those between the ages of 16 and 25 find the skills and confidence to get hired.
Later, she will officially open a new building at the Havelock Academy, a high school with 1,000 students in one of the most socially and economically challenged regions in the country.
As she left, Kate thanked staff for their tour, saying, "I've really enjoyed myself. It was a wonderful experience, so authentic – especially the smells and the noises."

The winter season is off and running in earnest, and with the exception of one sport - actually, one team - will be with us until March.
Mifflin County's bowling team, however, will see two thirds of its season over before Christmas.
The reason was well stated in an answer coach Jamie Barrett-Fetters gave to a question in preseason interviews: There aren't enough contestants for the Huskies to bowl against.
And that's hard to fathom.
Bowling is by far the most popular participation sport in the U.S. And over the past few years, the number of people who go bowling has grown each year.
Locally, both Lewistown Lanes and the Moose have youth programs. There is another bowling alley nearby in Mifflintown. And Best Bowl, located between Middleburg and Selinsgrove, hosts three scholastic teams - Midd-West, Mifflinburg and Selinsgrove.
The Mustangs are the closest to Mifflin County, and the western Snyder team will bowl twice this year against the Huskies, providing their only home opponent. There are historical ties between the two; Midd-West assistant Corey Wert helped get the ball rolling, so to speak, for the local scholastic team.
But only one other team out of the nine in District 4 will take on the Huskies, who are the lone entrant in the sport in District 6 - Milton, the alma mater of former Lewistown athletic director Rick Keefer, who helped set up the series when the program began here.
There are 34 girls and 37 boys teams in District 3, including a small number of Mid-Penn Conference schools - one of which is an opponent of the Huskies in the Commonwealth Division in other sports. But the Mid-Penn doesn't run a bowling league.
That, in fact, leads to one of the things that plays a role in bowling's non-proliferation despite its popularity - it's not a PIAA sport, in the sense that the state's oversight agency for scholastic sports does not sponsor interdistrict competition on the lanes.
The PIAA recognizes the sport - and has guiding rules - but, like four other sports (including another Mifflin County entrant, indoor track), its championship is run by a third party. There is not really a PIAA element - if there was, more PIAA member schools might be likely to offer the sport, which unlike a lot of athletic competitions, is a place where almost anyone can excel.
I find it hard to believe that large schools in District 6 like State College, Altoona and Central Mountain don't have bowling teams. When Lewistown and Indian Valley started their programs, it was with the belief that other Mountain League schools would follow suit - but instead, the two were each others' main rivals until last year, where there became one less team on the horizon.
Districts 3, 7 and 12 each have more than 30 teams. District 1 has 20. But the rest of the state is sparse when it comes to bowling, with three districts having no teams at all.
For a sport with bowling's popularity, that's hard to swallow.
Bowling isn't the only sport that had a hard time filling a schedule - competitive spirit, which became a PIAA sport this year, proved troublesome for several reasons.
The school district got around them and assembled a slate for the team, albeit a strange one - the next competition will be the District 6 event, and it's just the second date on the schedule.
Most of the problems were tied to the fact that it is a new sport, one that schools and PIAA districts have to work into their operations. In response to questions about the schedule process, it came out that one problem the school district had to deal with was working around its Sunday competition ban.
In fact, the district reported, if Mifflin County were scheduled to play any sport on a Sunday, it would not happen - a situation that is rare, but can occur. Just this fall, two field hockey teams held a play-in game on a Sunday prior to the state tournament, after inclement weather pushed it back.
Mifflin County, I was told, would forfeit that game if the PIAA would not relent on scheduling it on a Sunday.
I recall my early days in this field, when one particular league declined to use Wednesday as a play date, presumably for the same reason - and there's nothing wrong with that, despite what some ACLU types might think.
Let's hope that situation never faces one of the local schools.

State police in Erie and Wyoming counties issued 367 tickets, including 170 citations for speeding, during a five-day traffic safety initiative that wrapped up today.
Troopers conducted several traffic details during the heavy travel period between Wednesday and today. These included Operation Hang Up, which targeted distracted drivers; DWI saturation details and speed details on the area's interstate highways; and a joint DWI checkpoint with Cheektowaga police, Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority police and Erie County sheriff's deputies.
In addition to the tickets for speeding, troopers issued 15 tickets for distracted driving, made four arrests for driving while intoxicated and made seven arrests for unlawful possession of marijuana.
Troopers also investigated 11 minor accidents, six of which were caused by collisions with deer.

Teamsters Local 375 on Friday delivered 10-day notice signaling its intent to strike privately owned Rural/Metro Medical Services if progress is not made to fix a system in which, according to the union, first responders are paid below the city's living wage.
Emergency medical technicians and paramedics voted July 3 to reject a contract offer from Rural/Metro.
Kevin Drysdale, president of the local, said this week members voted against "a very, very, very unacceptable wage proposal."
"Our goal is to avoid any work stoppage by reaching a resolution that both provides for our employees and ensures fiscal sustainability in the ever-changing health care environment," said Jay Smith, general manager for Rural/Metro's Western New York division.
Locally, Rural/Metro covers most of Erie and Niagara counties, except for the Tonawandas, Amherst, Clarence, Lancaster and Grand Island.

Published August 15, 2013
Entrepreneurs and small- to mid-sized businesses in Western New York seeking to enhance their competitive edge can receive up to $25,000 in matching funds for technical assistance from UB's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
The grants, from the Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence (SPIR) program, help subsidize the cost of bringing innovations to the next level, upgrading or introducing new technologies, addressing the challenges of product development and testing, and more.
SPIR is funded by SUNY and administered by UB TCIE and counterparts at Binghamton and Stony Brook universities. It allows companies with 500 employees or fewer to tap into SUNY's brainpower, which includes seven UB engineering departments.
Funds are available for research and development projects, re-engineering business processes and enhancing business systems, accessing shared instrumentation facilities and employing graduate student interns. Capital expenses are not covered.
"With a new academic year around the corner, and UB faculty and graduate students ready to assist industry, now is a great time to explore how the cost-effective engineering expertise at UB can help advance your company," said Timothy Leyh, UB TCIE executive director. "Perhaps you don't have the time or internal resources to take on a special project, or you have met a brick wall in deriving an appropriate solution."
In the 2012-13 fiscal year, companies that received SPIR funding reported creating 79 jobs, retaining 1,682 jobs and increasing revenues by more than $18 million. Examples of some projects undertaken at companies include:
To be considered for SPIR, contact Gary Simon, TCIE business development director, by Sept. 6 at 716-645-8837 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's been a tough start to the 2012 season. I had this thought that I would be up and running in no time after Dr. Orr went in and repaired my knee. Turned out I had a lot more damage in there that slowed recovery.
I spent many hours training a the Sports Performance Training Center and getting advice from Chris Cloyd, which was helpful. I took some of their classes to stay interested and I discovered TRX training, probably the coolest cross training for a runner.
But when the green light came that I could hit the trails, I did. That was March 28. It was a slow start with the first week of running, which was limited to 10 miles. By the time I ran my first race of the season I was up to 15 miles in one run. Well, my first race was a 50K, and needless to say, I wasn't ready.
The knee had only minor pain but major swelling. Dr. Orr drained 50 milliliters of fluid from my knee two days after the race (there should be only 5 milliliters).
Seven weeks after that — this past Saturday — and I was toeing the line at the Tahoe Rim Trail 50-Mile Endurance Run. I stood there confident that I would race strong the entire way. The race started, and I was off like I was running an 800.
I kept my projected pace all the way to Diamond Peak at mile 30. Then the climb back up begins. This relentless climb sucks the drive from the best of us. I got to the top and found that the 30 percent grade at points took any bit of speed I had to offer for the last 20 miles. But I kept telling myself that I'd shake it off.
The journey continued, trekking along at a not-very-fast pace any longer as I reached the Hobart Mills aid station just above Marlette lake. This is when I knew I was in a bit of trouble. With 10 miles to go, I couldn't get myself out of first gear. With that slow of a pace, I was bound to get caught and lose all the gains I built up at the beginning of the race.
And I was right. With 4 miles to go, I got passed. I tried to answer but the wheels just wouldn't turn. I finished second.
I was pretty wrecked. I got helped to the medics tent where I was held for about an hour. I was very dehydrated and my electrolytes were completely out of whack. They fed me two liters of saline via IV and made me wait until I had an appetite. Finally, I ate.
With ultra races, you can put in many miles per week, but if you screw up the fueling it can all be for naught. You can't push your body without water. I drank, not enough. You can't push without food. I ate, not enough. Lesson learned, again.
In six weeks I'll try again but double the distance. I'll keep you posted.

This week's prom dress giveaway for high school girls continues for one last day, Friday afternoon, on the stage at Shea's Performing Arts Center.
Organizers coordinating the ninth annual Gowns 4 Proms event had mistakenly said last week that today would be the last day to get the dresses. Instead Shea's, at 646 Main St., will be open for one more giveaway day from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday.
Interested girls should check with their school to see if it is participating. If not, register online at colvincleaners.com.
The first two days of the Shea's giveaway, which included seamstress volunteers who adjusted dresses, went without any problems despite the crowds, said Paul Billoni, owner of Colvin Cleaners, one of the sponsors.
He estimated about 250 girls came Monday to choose from some of the 4,000 dresses that were a mix of donations and what Billoni's wife, Cyndee, found shopping for past season fashions.

In my opinion I had a gluten free bun it was so dry I couldn't stand it honestly I tried asking for a different bun but they didn't have any. Also the fries they never told me they are mixed with other items with gluten so I was sick to my stomach.
I was glutened on every occasion we ate here. First was a salad with Allergy alert. And their *dedicated* french fries got me twice. Once, when I decided to have them because they HAD to be safe. Second, because when I let the manager know, she begged me to let her oversee a fresh batch and show me that I am safe there, Got me within 15 minutes still in parking lot. And my son had some too. He bled intestinally and got hives so thanks because Ive been to red robins all over the country and no issue other than Washington state locations. Never had issue on the East coast once. Stay away if you have to be safe.
Delicious food but really slow service. I mean really slow. But they are definitely accommodating with people with gluten intolerance. I have celiac disease and I've never gotten sick from here. Only go when you have time to waste, super slow service.
I've eaten here several times and gotten sick every time. Even when the servers were careful of the gluten allergy, the kitchen staff were not. Every time I come here they leave bread crumbs on my plate and drip sour cream on the food (even when it's "flagged" for a dairy allergy).
the server was so on top of making sure I got the best experience. she seemed super willing to go the extra mile and didn't at all seem annoyed or inconvenienced. great service will come again.
They will serve burgers in a gluten free bun or a lettuce wrap.
It was good
Good menu, good food, relatively knowledgable staff, willing to ask questions.
621 Park Avenue, Hershey, PA 17033
Best gluten-free food I've ever had. Service was amazing!
1701 William D. Tate Ave., Grapevine, TX 76051
Knowledgeable waiter, great GF burger and fries. Would definitely come back.
17301 Valley Mall Rd, Hagerstown, MD 21740
The burgers are good, but the fries are questionable. The first two times I ate here, the server confirmed that the fries are GF because they're fried in a separate fryer. The last time I was there, the server said they're only GF if you ask for "no salt fries" because she said the seasoning they put on them after they're fried isn't GF. I'm not sure which server actually knew what they were talking about, but it's hard to trust a place that's inconsistent.
1845 14th Avenue SE, Heritage Mall, Albany, OR 97321
Aside from Salem Red robin is our go to! We have had mistakes but the mgr is always accommodating. Aside from mistakes we have continued to have great experiences at this Resturant!
1187 Glendale Galleria, Glendale, CA 91210
Their gluten free menu is online-- NOT the app, the website-- so it's worth it to do some research before you get there. You do have to explain carefully and/or talk with a manager about your needs, but once you do that, they pay careful attention. Dedicated fryers mean fries are safe, and the last time I checked their seasoning salt was safe too. (Always good to check online. Again, the servers probably won't know.) so are many of their sauces. Plenty enough options for the burger-lover. I always have a good time (once I get over that initial hump), and I haven't gotten sick yet.
1000 Palisades Center Drive, West Nyack, New York 10994
Have eaten at several Red Robins, most regularly at the Palisades Mall location. WARNING !!!!!! Ate there on Sat 24th September and got horribly gluten poisoned. Still very sick two days later. Have filed a formal complaint and dealing with their Risk Management Department. Eat there at your own risk if you have Celiac Disease.
1920 Cooper Rd, Kelowna, BC V1Y 8K5, Canada V1Y 8K5
They have a allergy free menu. They give you an iPad with the menu options like gluten it tells which items are gluten free or dairy free. It's amazing
613 River Highway, Mooresville, NC 28117
This place is astounding!! The waitress gave us the "Allergy IPad" and let us pick through the menu. The manager came out and informed us about the sensitivities. This place is very comforting as a being with cumbersome allergies.
5537 S. Williamson Blvd., Port Orange, FL 32128
Have eaten here several times. Enjoyed my meal and had no side effects. They have gf buns, burgers, fries and beer.
2350 Lincoln Hwy #900, Lancaster, PA 17602
We used to love this place but it has gone downhill. The last two times we had visited all our food has been cold and our service was insanely slow. On a good note our daughter has never gotten ill eating here.
5731 Long Prairie Rd, Flower Mound, TX 75028
The food is good. Servers act like they are knowledgeable some are some aren't. There are lots of options to choose from.
8425 Northlake Commons Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28216
Excellent experience. Everyone was great about making sure we were not cross contaminated. We used to go to the RR location across town because it's closer but they have messed up on our fries twice now so coming to this RR is well work driving further.
8304 Kenbrooke Drive, Charlotte, NC 28262
Most Red Robin locations do great! But today was the 2nd time that we had a major scare over being given the wrong fries at this location. The first time was sort of the waitress' fault because she put in to use a GF bun but not GF fries & therefore I was given regular fries. Today 3 of us were GF & everyone except one got GF fries then the manager tried to lie & say they were even though we clearly saw that that order was the only one with seasoning like regular fries. We are DONE with this location & will be going to the Northlake location instead.
5100 N 9th Avenue, Pensacola, FL 32504
We ate here for dinner last night. Great food and great service. The server handed us an IPad to ensure everything was still gluten free that we order. This helped tremendously since the allergen customizer on the website hasn't worked well since they updated the website. We all had the bacon cheeseburger with gluten free buns and the fries without seasoning and ranch to dip them. Our only problem was the girl that brought out the food almost gave our food to the table across from us. Thankfully she didn't hand it or allow anyone to touch it since that group had just been seated and hadn't even ordered so they immediately told her it wasn't their order. Our daughter felt fine after and had no issues. Will be back to this location.
800 Tolmie Ave, Victoria, BC V8X 3W4, Canada V8X 3W4
great options for GF! special menu given to you on tablet with interactive menu.
3100 Main Street, #1500, Maumee, OH 43537
Ordered the DGB burger from the gluten free menu with the gluten free fries. When they brought it to the table they identified it as such also. I am extremely sensitive celiac and was into a reaction before we even made it the 10 minutes home.
3906 Rivermark Plaza, Santa Clara, CA 95054
Bad service. I was told to use my phone for the menu and could not hear the waitress and because I asked for gluten feee we had a ten minute wait
401 S. Mt. Juliet Road, #135, Mt. Juliet, TN 37122
Gluten fiendly. Be sue to tell your server. And yes....they have a dedicated gluten free fryer so we too can enjoy bottomless fries or sweet potato fries. Lettuce wedge wrapped burgers thoughtfully come in an aluminum foil wrap for mess freeeating. Server was knowledgeable. Good service too!
4241 Washington Road, Evans, GA 30809
I'm a sucker for a good turkey burger with fries... but when I get a burger bun that actually TASTES like a burger bun? Amazing.
15777 Eureka Blvd., Southgate, MI 48195
After avoiding this restaurant for several years we decided to give them another try. They have revamped their menu and my wife got a great chicken sandwich. She is already talking about going back.
302 Indian Lake Blvd, Hendersonville, TN 37075
They would get 5 stars except that their beef is not good enough to get top marks. Ordering it "well done" helps. The GF buns are absolutely great. Red Robin's will even sell their buns separately. Bottomless frech fries are marvelous, just marvelous. They will even cook you a batch without salt (in case you are watching your sodium intake). Heinz mustard available on request. The sweet potato fries are not GF.
6802 Charlotte Pike, Nashville, TN 37209
Giving Red Robin two stars for having a decent gluten free bun. Otherwise, wait staff is not informed on allergens, place is dirty & I wasn't impressed overall.
7575 Edgerton Avenue, Greenfield, WI 53220
I have eaten here a lot and never had a problem, one strange thing that happened though was that the manager told me the chips were not gluten free. I then asked if they were put in the same fryer as the breaded items and she told me that they were cooked in the special allergen fryer. Then I asked her if I could see the ingredients. When I read the ingredients , the chips contained no gluten at all. So basically they only tell you what they know for certain to be safe, but I had the nachos without the chili and had no problems.
3379 West Shore Dr, Holland, MI 49424
Service was bad! Fries were cold! New fries came out with 8 in the basket. A joke. Tables and dining room were dirty. Never went back and don't plan on it.
14455 W. Maple Road, Omaha, NE 68116
With other customers saying that the bun was good, I think I may have gotten an old one. The texture was awful, and it was hard as a rock. I couldn't eat it. It was then hard to enjoy the meal because all I could think about was spending $12 for a hamburger patty because I had to remove the bun. We also had to get new fries because ours were ice cold. Won't be back.
1021 N. Columbia Center Blvd., Kennewick, WA 99336
I have not tried this location be. great service. delicious hamburger and fries. No reaction, but I am not super sensitive, so can not vouch for sensitive celiac.
1678 Route 228, Cranberry Township, PA 16066
Staff was great, gf bun was stale. I was so hungry I just ate it.
3605 Horizon Blvd., Trevose, PA 19053
Totally safe fries in an exclusive fryer!?! Amazingly soft gluten free buns???!!! An attentive server and reassurance from manager regarding celiac and cross contamination!!?? What more could you ask for. No reaction, delicious burger and fries, great experience!
3100 Main Street, #1500, Maumee, OH 43537
This place is a staple when I'm craving a burger and fries. I get the classic Gourmet Red Robin Cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap and the GF fries without seasoning. They have a dedicated GF fryer. The staff there has been very accommodating.
6802 Charlotte Pike, Nashville, TN 37209
We had a terrible experience here. We asked for a gluten free menu and was told that that they didn't have one, but "gluten free buns are extra" and the "Boca patties" were the only ones that were gluten free. I had read reviews on Find Me GF previously that said Red Robin did have a GF menu/options, so I decided to look online and see if I could find a gluten free menu. The Red Robin allergen menu webpage wasn't working, which I mentioned to the waitress when she came to take our order about 15 minutes later, saying that I was just going stick with water (if I don't know if there's definitely GF options when eating out, I don't eat because it's just too risky). The waitress then said "Oh I can go get you an allergen menu" Um, thanks. Not sure why we couldn't get one of those earlier, but okay. It took forever for the menu to get to our table and we still didn't have our drinks, so at this point, I just opted out of the meal. Maybe we just had a bad waitress who didn't know about gluten free/celiac, but we definitely will not be returning.
7708 W. Long Dr., Littleton, CO 80123
I'm on the fence with this place. For a while, my son and I had been eating their food, and I felt my needs were met. Tonight we ordered take-out, got home, and opened my burger to see seasoning all over my fries. That was deflating. I called to complain and was told the seasoning is GF now. I think I was given a load of BS because I'm not doing well and I'm sure this will last through the weekend. I honestly think the seasoning is awful, so having to eat nasty fries and unsure if they were even safe is just wrong.
400 Baldwin Ave #2365, Arcadia, CA 91007
I've eaten here plenty of times without issue. Gf burgers, buns, and fries. They usually ask if allergy or preference so they are extra careful with CC. I've also eaten at other locations without issue, so they seem to train across the board.
100 W. Telegraph, Bellis Fair Mall, Bellingham, WA 98226
Our server was awesome. Our fries were gluten free as were our burgers. The staff was knowledgeable about their food. We will absolutely be back.
23318 Mercantile Pkwy, Katy, TX 77449
The servers were knowledgeable, they have me an iPad with the allergy menu to use. The gluten free bun tasted great! Them the manager came to see if I was happy with my experience. I will certainly come back here!
N109 Stoneybrook Road, Appleton, WI 54915
Dedicated fryer for fries + GF bun = Happy Little Girl
101 W Main St, Newark, DE 19702
I think our visit to this Red Robin was doomed from the start. We asked for a gluten free menu (we have gotten them from other locations) and they told us they no longer carry them to look it up on our phone. Gf menu was difficult to find from a phone. When ordering we talked to the server told him the order was gluten free he seemed knowledgable giving recommendations on which burgers would be gluten free and ordered a gf bun. Also questioned about the fries being prepared gf as each location is different and the server indicated yes but with no seasoning. Fast forward to the meal coming out and the burger came on a regular bun. Talked to the server and sent it back to be made again (not just switch out the bun). Meal came out a second time and appeared to be gf. Well apparently either the fries were not gf as suggested or they cross contaminated the burger because ended up sick.
602 Bel Air Road, Suite 19, Bel Air, MD 21014
My Celiac family has been here many times and have never gotten sick. Servers are generally knowledgeable about Celiac and do everything they can to provide us with safe and delicious food.
2350 Lincoln Hwy #900, Lancaster, PA 17602
The server took careful notes about my GF order, but while I was eating I found a fried onion straw in my food. They offered to remake it, but I had lost confidence that I could eat there without getting sick. Still giving them 3 stars because they handled it well. The server apologized and had the manager come over to apologize as well. They also credited us for the food I couldn't eat. I'm disappointed because Red Robin was one of the places I thought I could eat at when we were traveling.
9965 N. Michigan Road, Carmel, IN 46032
Ate here earlier this week and have been ill ever since. in general, it was the one of the worst meals I have ever had. i ordered a bacon burger with fries. The gluten free bun was inedible. I asked for another one but it was just as bad. could not bite through it or cut through it. I tried to just eat the burger because I was starving. Big mistake!! It was dry and tasted like a soy burger from my elementary school cafeteria. Needless to say the manager comped our meal, but I will definitely not be back, EVER!!
3110 Waltham Blvd., Burlington, NC 27215
This location is the best I have been in! Very clean and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I got the southern charm burger on a gluten free bun without onions and smores sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious, including the bun!
18410 33rd Avenue W., Lynnwood, WA 98036
Red Robin has improved by leaps and bounds in the celiac/food allergen arena. They now offer a seperate fryer for fries and thier Red Robin seasoning is supposedly gluten free. I'm still too scared to eat it, because it isn't labeled gluten free, but it is now listed in the safe to eat section of the food allergen interactive menu they offer. Oh, they have interactive tablets for thier food allergens menu so it makes it super easy to figure out what I can eat. also if you let the sever know it is an allergy not a preference, the kitchen will change gloves as well.
43250 Crescent Blvd., Novi, MI 48375
I have celiac disease and eat at Red Robin frequently with my Granddaughter. I have never had a problem and the staff seems gluten educated which is rare. The manager often comes by to check our table to see that we are satisfied.
2846 E 3rd St, Bloomington, IN 47401
Food was cold, GF bun on my burger was dry, no offer of more fries. After the great burger and fries I had in Grand Rapids, MI, this was a big disappointment. I had talked up my great experience to friends who dined with us and their food came under cooked and cold.
3195 28th Street S.E., Kentwood, MI 49512
Red Robin restaurants are very good about cross contamination. They have separate fryers for the fries and gluten free buns. I have celiac disease and I'm very sensitive, I've never gotten sick eating here, in fact the manager always comes out and talks to me about my order so that is reassuring. I love Red Robin!
1233 West Ave. P, Ste. 301, Palmdale, CA 93551
Great gluten free bacon cheese burger with gluten free bun and gluten free fries. We went on Sunday for lunch and it was packed. Took an hour to get our food, but it did taste great.
2901 Brooks St, Missoula, Mt 59801
Gluten free French fries!! Had a bunless burger. Wasn't enough large lettuce to wrap so are with a knife and fork, but delicious nonetheless. Family enjoyed their glutenous items. Staff was fantastic.
2901 Brooks St, Missoula, Mt 59801
When I asked for a GF menu, I was told to look at it on my phone or they would bring me a tablet. When I got the tablet, I was completely frustrated as it didn't show what the dish was made up of, pictures or even prices. I had to flip back & forth with the regular menu. Finally I was so exasperated I asked the waitress to suggest something since I am highly allergic. She said she couldn't, it was against the law!?! At that point, I just ordered the Ensenada chicken platter and asked if the chef could clean the grill first. She assured me it wasn't necessary because they didn't put any bread on it. I should have pushed the issue because I can almost guarantee my chicken was grilled near remnants of something with teriyaki sauce because I am now sick. Never again with Red Robin.
295 Parkway Drive, Lincolnshire, IL 60069
Our server Elizabeth said she was gluten free and made sure my meal was safe. Then the manager Stacy stopped by and explained that they take allergies very seriously and explained how all the fries are cooked in a special vat at the end of the counter and they are safe. Told me the seasoned salt is now gluten free as wel but l order the fries without the salt. Had a nice discussion with both ladies. They are the best!
1500 South Willow Street, Manchester, NH 03103
Very poor attention to allergens. Was told that the ranch was safe and it is not.
70 Worcester-Providence Turnpike, Millbury, MA 01527
Best bun I've found in a restaurant. I travel here all the time. Severs always know what they are talking about and are super attentive. And super cheap!!!

The boys become 'N Sync, a name coined by Timberlake's mother, Lynn Harless, who rearranged the last letter of each member's first name. Boy-group wranglers Lou Pearlman and Johnny Wright, the same duo that launched the Backstreet Boys and late '80s group New Kids on the Block, manage the group.
- 1996
Tearin' Up the Charts
'N Sync scores a recording contract with German label BMG. Their self-titled debut album is released in Europe and becomes an instant phenomenon thanks to singles "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart." 'N Sync spends the next two years touring abroad before the album's U.S. in 1998, where it sells 5 million copies by the year's end.
- 2000
Speared by Love
Britney Spears denies that she is dating Timberlake. "We're just friends," she tells PEOPLE, adding that she is too busy touring – and getting over her first serious relationship – to get involved. The pair has been friends since the The New Mickey Mouse Club, when he was 12 and she was 11.
Breaking Records
'N Sync's No Strings Attached sells 1.1 million copies on its first day and a record-breaking 2.4 million within the first week. The album earns the boy band three Grammy nods, including Record of the Year for "Bye, Bye, Bye."
Definitely a Couple
Although they have denied their romance for more than a year, Timberlake and Spears finally acknowledge they are a couple when a New Orleans Times-Picayune reporter spots them kissing at a local lounge. PEOPLE dubs the twosome "the first couple of pop."
- 2001
A Turn Toward Hip-Hop
'N Sync releases its fourth album, Celebrity, and though it never reaches the success of No Strings Attached, the album does peak at No. 1 on Billboard's 200 chart. The key singles are the breakup ballad "Gone" and the heavily R&B-influenced "Girlfriend," which signals the group's turn toward hip-hop and gets them airplay on urban radio stations.
- 2002
Britney & Justin Split!
Timberlake's mom tells PEOPLE that her son and Spears "have hit a rough spot." But it's not until June that they announce their break-up. "That's a struggle. I fight these two people inside of me," he tells Teen People. "One's completely jaded, [saying], 'If you throw your heart back out there it's going to be horrible.' The other part says, 'Why not?'"

Renee Erickson's Steamed Clams With Lentils and Leeks
Slow Food Fast: Satisfying and seasonal food in about 30 minutes.
The Chef: Renee Erickson
Her Restaurants: Boat Street Café, the Walrus and the Carpenter, the Whale Wins and Narwhal Oyster Truck, all in Seattle.
What She's Known For: Elevating Seattle's homegrown seafood with just the right dash of French finesse.
'ONE OF THE BEST sounds is the clinking of clam shells in a bowl," said Renee Erickson. In her first Slow Food Fast contribution, the Seattle chef calls for steaming Manila clams in their distinctive stripy shells, along with leeks and earthy Le Puy lentils. The clams' natural juices, enriched with crème fraîche, white wine and tarragon, make a scrumptious sauce sure to bring lots of happy slurping to the chorus of clinking shells.
A perfect expression of the easygoing, soulful cooking that has made Ms. Erickson's restaurants so popular, this recipe nods to the Pacific Northwest's abundance of seafood as well as the chef's longstanding love affair with French cuisine. A Seattle-area native, Ms. Erickson took a trip to Paris in her mid-20s that changed everything. "Growing up, I got to go fishing and crabbing with my dad, and we spent a lot of time out on Puget Sound," Ms. Erickson said. "Then I fell in love with how the French eat." She was inspired to try her hand at cooking, and upon returning home saw the bounty of local ingredients with new eyes.
At the Walrus and the Carpenter, Ms. Erickson's cozy oyster bar, a version of this dish has become a menu staple. A meal unto itself, it asks for nothing more than bread—to mop up every drop of the creamy sauce. "It's also one of my favorite things to cook at home," Ms. Erickson said. "You can make a giant pot and just set it out. It's a charming way to eat.
—Kitty Greenwald
Steamed Clams With Lentils and Leeks
Total Time: 15 minutes Serves: 2-4
1/3 cup Le Puy lentils
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large or 4 baby leeks, white and pale-green parts only, cleaned and thinly sliced
2 pounds manila clams, scrubbed and rinsed
1½ cups dry white wine
1/3 cup crème fraîche
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus extra juice as needed
2½ tablespoons tarragon leaves, roughly chopped
What To Do
1. Add lentils to a small pot of simmering water and cook until just tender, 10-15 minutes. Strain lentils in a colander and season with salt to taste.
2. Add butter to a wide, large pot set over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add leeks and sauté until tender and bright in color, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add clams, quickly stirring to coat shells in leeks and butter. Add white wine and cover the pot with a lid. Steam until clams just open, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer clams to a bowl and set aside.
3. Add cooked lentils and crème fraîche to pot with leeks and broth. Simmer over medium heat until lentils are heated through, 1-2 minutes. Stir in lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and tarragon. Return clams to pot and stir to coat evenly in lentils and sauce. Remove pot from heat and season clams with lemon juice and salt to taste. Serve immediately with bread.

NVIDIA shows off the new Tegra 4 processor
0. phoneArena 07 Jan 2013, 00:13 posted on
The new Tegra 4 will feature an amazing 72 GeForce GPU cores with 4K video support, which is about 6 times the visual processing power of the current Tegra 3. It will also feature a quad-core ARM Cortex A15 processor and a second generation battery saver core. Unlike the 40nm manufacturing process on the Tegra 3, the Tegra 4 will be at 28nm, and support PRISM 2 technology for less power used by the backlight. All of this will allow for 45% better power management and lower heat compared to the Tegra 3.
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I want to see this processor on the Motorola Nexus X Phone
7. MeoCao (unregistered)
This beast is amazing. I think nothing at the moment comes close.
I'm sure HTC will be the 1st phone to use the chip, same as Tegra 3.
10. Captain_Doug (Posts: 997; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Ideally, the M7. Probably coming out too soon though. Just another of my "probably won't be fulfilled" dreams.
47. brandonrana (Posts: 57; Member since: 04 Nov 2012)
Wow Insane.....
79. Nadr1212 (Posts: 741; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
59. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
m7 for sure. maybe on MWC. This phone is just, insane!
69. Tegra_user (Posts: 3; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
Noob do you even know what is GeForce core. Ever heard of Kepler,Physics, Cuda, Directx . Its funny to see Samsung fanboys worshiping nvidia.
72. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2071; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Yeah , but they'll pack 16gb storage & at maximum a 2100 mAh battery 2 screw the phone up -_- !
20. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1161; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
By the time the Motorola Nexus X phone becomes a reality, we will most likely see a quad-core Exynos A15 processor with a Mali-T658 GPU which may or may not be better than a Tegra 4 (who knows at this point?). I will hand it to nVidia for creating a stellar chipset that I hope makes it's way to, at least, tablet PCs soon. I also want to see this demo of the new Dead Trigger 2 to see how the Tegra 4 performs on graphics.
Also, I'm very excited for the nVidia Shield:
But, as usual, 2013 is going to be the year of "the king is dead, long live the king" as each new processor comes out.
38. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
exactly......the only sense to me: Nexus....
otherwise stick with replaceable battery with Galaxy Nexus....only this Nexus I can use as a real smartphone (navigation, internet, camera) a whole day with a spare battery...
please, Google, think a little about usefulness of any smartphone :)
71. HTCOE (Posts: 632; Member since: 20 Nov 2011)
Moto Nexus may be the phone to have of the year in my opinion
2. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Project Shield is what I'm most excited about...
11. dickwyn (Posts: 621; Member since: 07 May 2012)
yep, i'm super excited about it. hope the price isnt skyrocket high
15. mittalmailbox (Posts: 51; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
i guess NVIDIA prices are affordable(taking $200 Tegra3 powered tablet) so hope for the same
3. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Now I badly want to see a Tegra4 vs S4Pro benchmark comparison.
8. Captain_Doug (Posts: 997; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I want to see the power usage. Performance wise, I'm good. I couldn't use the amount of power provided by a quad A9 processor let alone a quad A15. I want to know how well this will do in a battery test vs current processors.
18. MeoCao (unregistered)
A15 is not light on battery so if you play games a lot it will not be good I guess, But if you mainly do the reading, surf the net then surely there's no problem.
25. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
I also saw reports of the same, A15 is crazy fast but its battery consumption is high, basically like a muscle car tons of raw power
28. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1161; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
The only quote I could find from nVidia about real-world battery power was this:
"Tegra 4 consumes up to 45 percent less power than its predecessor, Tegra 3, in common use cases. And it enables up to 14 hours of HD video playback on phones."
Now, it doesn't exactly say what the size of the battery is on the phone they used in their quote, so it's one of those "take them at their word" situations.
73. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2071; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Not s4pro , s4prime !
12. MeoCao (unregistered)
32nm A15 dual core Exynos 5250 of Nexus 10 is on par with Pro in term of power.
This 1 is quadcore A15, 28nm technology, 72 gpu.
There's no comparison actually
16. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
good break down bro.........This is the chip i been waiting for :)
but what about the quadcore Exynos 5250?
19. MeoCao (unregistered)
5250 will be used on SS tablets possibly as it's power hungry. Tegra 4 will be used for phones mainly initially as I think they can't make a lot of them yet.
Later Tegra 4 will be used mainly for tablets, same model as Tegra 3.
21. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
what i meant was which is more powerful the "quadcore" exynos, the tegra 4, or the quadcore S4 krait?
22. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
it'll definitely be between the Tegra 4 and the Quad Exynos 5. now this is why i disliked Qualcomm in the first place. they get their SoC's out quick so they're pretty exciting until something like this comes out and completely overshadows the work that's supposed to carry them through a while longer...they've just gone back to Crapdragon status.
26. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
haha yea you're right bro but does that mean the S4 is "crapdragon" just because something more powerful has come along? Id like to think it served its purpose and will continue to serve its purpose for a while.....Look at how successful its been by being in almost every phone AND tablet using the S4! and remember these chips are beyond what we actually "need" as of now so the tegra and exynos might be slighty better but actual usage for them may be little to none, AS OF NOW :)
30. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i didn't mean the S4 which you're right about btw, just the Pro which has just recently started trickling out in devices like the Optimus G, the Nexus 4 and the Droid DNA. i'm afraid devices are going to be coming out very soon that these won't be able to compare to during what was supposed to be their prime. it's looking like the Sony Xperia Z may bring us the Exynos 5 Quad in just a few days to make matters worse for power junkies that just got one of the devices i mentioned.
33. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1161; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Wait, I'm sorry I couldn't understand that last sentence...are you suggesting the Xperia Z will feature a quad-core Exynos 5 series? I haven't heard that one yet.
37. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, that's something that's on the rumor mill. o:
55. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1161; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Didn't the benchmarks prove that it would be an S4 Pro with Adreno 320 GPU just like the Droid DNA?
76. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i haven't heard that. just the Quad Exynos 5 rumor. o:
34. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
well it was my mistake by only putting the S4 when i meant the S4 pro. And you say the Z is supposed to have the quad Exynos?? hmmm wow i must of missed that one :)
and yea it seems like things are speeding up but if things do decide to speed up then we are either going to have to "find" things for these chips to be of use or pretty much just play the "Im faster than you in benchmarks game" ......know what i mean?
39. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, we really have crossed a threshold in mobile processing power that makes all of this a little less important than it used to be. people are going to be just fine with S4's & S4 Pro's but i still always want just a little more... ;)
41. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
of course i mean its cool to see them innovate and show us what they can come up with to actually use these powerful chipsets........
Ive actually been waiting on the tegra 4 the most because i wanted to see how games would grow with this chip
But one more thing I noticed the article said somthing about it not haveing LTE?? I wonder if that will make it get shunned a bit.......because you know how picky some people are if the WHOLE package isnt there
lol jus sayin
43. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, you should see what they're talking about with Project Shield and Steam's Big Picture. looks like promising stuff. o:
oh this bad boy has an integrated LTE radio and manufacturers can add an optional modem to add a boost to the Tegra 4's data processing power. it's the whole package and then some.
45. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
haha thanks bro can always count on you for good honest info :)
48. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
haha, thanks, i try. (:
35. MeoCao (unregistered)
isn't S4 Pro 28nm Krait quadcore?
Qualcomm should use better architecture than current Krait.
I think the power of mobile chips is far from enough, look at the difference btn PC and mobile gaming.
And mobile photography also demands huge processing power as NVidia showed, and there will be new technologies that take advantage of the new power.
40. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
true and i meant to put the S4 pro sorry about that
Also does mobile photography require more than what the S4 pro Krait can deliver??
Or is it a matter of how smooth and well it can deliver?
just some questions :)
44. MeoCao (unregistered)
The key of mobile photography is taking multiple shots with different exposure, focus.. and process them into 1 final pictures, so the more powerful the processing, the better quality we have. Smoothness and how fast you get the picture is certainly a factor too.
i'm not sure if there's limit to it but the current cpus are surely not enough.
46. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
thanks for the info tegra 4 sounds good to go then :)
29. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Anything beyond the S4Pro chipset's performance to power consumption ratio will be awesome. I hope the Tegra4 and the Quad Exynos5 could deliver spectacular results.
63. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
But the SGX554 on the iPad4 Gpu beats this, T4 has 72Gpu and Six554 has 4Gpu, so imagine having 72SGX 554 doesn't no way stand a chance. When it comes to graphics nothing touches the PVR.
14. Igneel (unregistered)
S4 pro is 6 months old already.
23. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yet devices with it have just recently hit the market while the first commercial Tegra 4 device(s) will likely rear it's head at CES in the coming days.
77. mittalmailbox (Posts: 51; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
Situation is more life last year, Tegra 4 will rule the market for 4-5 Month and then Qualcomm 800 will overtake it(same as Tegra 3 and Qualcomm Krait Quad core last year)
4. Captain_Doug (Posts: 997; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
In the 4th paragraph, you didn't mention that they were loading 25 web pages.
5. mittalmailbox (Posts: 51; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
Why they didn't added Qualcomm quad core Krait in comparison list. It would be great if it uses lesser power than Qualcomm S4.
And an integrated cellular modem should have made it even better,
60. faisolbauuz (Posts: 121; Member since: 05 Jan 2013)
Htc droid dna are using snapdrogon s4 pro its on the list

13. Xperia42 (Posts: 60; Member since: 30 May 2012)
Can't wait to see how Terga 4 performances in graphics
17. imkyle (Posts: 1073; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
This will give the 1.5ghz S4 pro quad core a run for its money. Looking forward to seeing what device will get this first... Asus tablet or an HTC phone.....
24. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i'm most curious about the Graphic's performance but i'm pretty impressed right now, not nearly surprised but impressed none the less. now that an SoC like the Tegra 4 is here i'm kind of glad that i haven't gotten a Nexus 10 yet. o:
62. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I was just about to buy the Nexus 10, too. Now I'm hesitant. I'm thinking of waiting until Google I/O when they will probably announce a Motorola Nexus phone and tablet. The phone I can already expect to be great, but I'm really looking at that tablet.
The only Motorola tablet I've had time with was the Xyboard 10.1, and I really enjoyed it a lot, I can only imagine what their Nexus tablet will bring.
I'm thinking of getting the Nexus 4, passing on the 10, and waiting for the Motorola Nexus tablet. Should I pass on the Nexus 4 as well and get the Moto phone when it comes out?
74. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, that's what i'm thinking too. i actually owned the Xyboard 8.2 and i really liked that Tablet. give me a Xyboard 8.2 with NFC, a Tegra 4 and a better display and i'll be happy but fortunately that seems to be the least we should expect from the Googlerola Tablet.
well being that the Nexus 4 is so cheap on contract there's not really much consequence other than being out of $300 but being that it's a Nexus it should hold a pretty good resale value between now and I/O especially if there's a new version of Android announced, that's when Nexus values spike on the market and depending on how well you take care of it you should be able to get like $200-$250 for it. so really it's up to you if you think eating the $50 and the price of shipping and perhaps a case is worth carrying you through to Google I/O and then of course the Motorola unveiling is just a rumor. o:
27. nard0207 (Posts: 18; Member since: 03 Jan 2013)
Tegra 4 + Jelly Bean/Key Lime Pie!
I hope HTC would be the first manufacturer to release a Tegra 4 powered device. They should also add software goodies, just like what Samsung did in the S3 (smart stay, pop-up play etc.), in order for their new device to be successful.
31. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
You forgot "BIG" Battery (2500mAh+), if they could add that to their next flagship phone then there's no liking them anymore. . .
49. nard0207 (Posts: 18; Member since: 03 Jan 2013)
Yeah that one too.

Cue the 2001 Space Odyssey theme.
Big voice over as credits roll... I am an Administrivian, and this is Administrivia.
We have become an Internet driven society.
Books, movies, newspaper, radio, even TV is now something we can experience exclusively online.
Everything listed above in hard copy form or stereo console is considered a dinosaur.
Im online all day, all the time. I never disconnect, so dont sign me up for Jurassic Park just yet.
I am driven by Facebook, both professionally and personally.
I promote my books there (Locked Hearts, The Lunch Box, Broken, and coming in August, Dragonfly); I keep in touch with my family and friends there, and I could even fall in love there.
Hey, stranger things have happened.
Anything I want to know I can find online and in about three nano-seconds, and for that last nano-second and a half, Im moaning about how nothing downloads fast and I hate seeing that rainbow pinwheel just spin, and spin, and spin.
A generation ago news was defined as anything you could read in your recliner after dinner, and we waited four-to-six weeks for it to arrive in the mail.
Not anymore.
These days you have 140 characters or less to grab someones attention.
If its not something I can read while Im scrolling down my wall on Facebook, Im not interested.
And if I click on it, whatever video they show better be over in 90 seconds or less, I dont care how cute the dog, the kitten, the baby goat or your two-year old singing Kid Rock songs might be.
If you can string five words together you can publish a BLOG, and dont worry about grammar and spelling as, according to Facebook, our brains have the ability to discern jibberish (Share if you agree).
If you can take a selfie, you can be an award-winning photographer.
The Internet promotes administrivia at its purest.
To remind any of you that might have forgotten, administrivia is the purveying of totally useless knowledge.
Like knowing which 12 starlets have the most disgusting feet, this is stuff I want - no, its stuff I NEED to see.
An unlimited supply of administrivia in 90 second bytes.
This is the kind of diet I can live with.
I miss the look and feel of a thick Sunday newspaper though, and the 20-page Sports section included with color comics.
I miss Newsweek magazine. I saw a recent copy while waiting to see the doctor and felt sad that the magazine more resembled a pamphlet than periodical.
The heft and feel of a good book, the scratch and crackle of a vinyl long-playing record album, the warbling image from old videotape, I miss these things.
These days, my world is contained in my cell phone.
Even Sunday church, theres an app for that.
I dont go to the mall anymore because I am a member of Amazon Prime. I dont buy CDs anymore because I can see anything I want on You Tube for free. Kindle versions of my books are selling better than paperback copies.
Anything I want I can have at the tap of my index finger. Even the mouse has become a dinosaur.
Truly, the world lies at my feet...
Which are propped on the couch where I havent moved since Tuesday. Come to think of it, what is my point anyway?
This is a curmudgeons dream.
All this new technology stuff aint so bad oops, ISNT so bad. Thank you Spell Check.
Now if I can just find an app that can put me through a 30-minute workout at the gym, one I can do lying down, Id be in business.

Doug Marrone continues to round out his coaching staff with the Buffalo Bills, announcing 10 new hires Tuesday.
Marrone tapped into his old staff at Syracuse for four of those joining him with the Bills.
Three of the 10 coaches hired previously worked with new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine with the New York Jets.
Experience at the NFL level was not a requirement for Marrone. The 10 new hires have just 20 combined years of coaching experience at the NFL level, but 133 years of coaching experience in the collegiate ranks.
"When I began the hiring process for our staff, I sought after individuals that had a strong work ethic, passion for the game of football and experience — which are all qualities demonstrated in each of our new hires," Marrone said in a news release from the team announcing the hires.
Joining the Bills will be:
• Defensive backs coach Donnie Henderson – A 28-year coaching veteran with 10 years of NFL experience and another 18 in the collegiate ranks, Henderson last year worked as the defensive backs coach at Syracuse. Henderson has three years of NFL experience as a defensive coordinator — two with the Jets in 2004-05 when Marrone was the offensive line coach, and another in 2006 with the Lions. He's also been a defensive backs coach for seven seasons with three different teams (the Ravens, Jaguars and Cardinals).
• Running backs coach Tyrone Wheatley – Spent the previous three seasons on Marrone's staff in Syracuse in the same role. Last season, the Orange averaged 187 rushing yards per game. Wheatley previously had a 10-year playing career in the NFL with the New York Giants and Oakland Raiders.
• Linebackers coach Chuck Driesbach – Driesbach is making the jump to the NFL after 36 years as a college coach, including 20 as a defensive coordinator. He most recently served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Rice (2007-10).
• Linebackers coach Jim O'Neil – Has served as an assistant defensive backs coach the past three seasons with the Jets, where he started his coaching career in 2009 as a defensive quality control coach. The Jets' pass defense finished second in the NFL this past season, allowing 189.8 yards per game.
• Tight ends coach Greg Adkins – Jumping to the NFL after 22 seasons as a collegiate position coach, the last four at Syracuse as offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator.
• Defensive line coach Anthony Weaver – Spent the 2012 season, his first in the NFL, as an assistant defensive line coach with the Jets. Weaver had a seven-year playing career in the NFL from 2002-08 with Baltimore and Houston. He played in 103 career games, making 98 starts.
• Assistant defensive backs coach Samson Brown – Joins the Bills after two years with the Jets as a coaching assistant.
• Defensive quality control coaches Jason Rebrovich and Brian Fleury – Rebrovich worked as a defensive assistant for the past two seasons under Marrone at Syracuse, while Fleury comes to Buffalo from Towson, where he spent the past four seasons as the secondary coach and special teams coordinator.
• Head strength and conditioning coach Eric Ciano – The lone member of Marrone's staff who previously worked under Chan Gailey with the Bills, Ciano will be entering his fourth season with the team.
Marrone has yet to name positional coaches for the offensive line, wide receivers and quarterbacks. Offensive coordinator Nate Hackett worked with the quarterbacks at Syracuse.
