5 Obnoxious Things Restaurants Need to Stop Doing
Polka Dot Images/Polka Dot/Getty Images
Everyone likes eating out at restaurants, except I guess people who have been shot in restaurants or agoraphobics. But assuming you can go outside and have never been assaulted by the staff at Long John Silvers with anything other than what they call food there, you probably enjoy the odd trip to a restaurant. I typically enjoy this, too, and will use this to establish a friendship between us later on. A friendship and more? No. Not more. But before we get into that, how's about I nitpick all the pain in the ass things that restaurants continue to do that no one likes for no reason any one of us will ever figure out. How about that?
#5. Ask How the Meal is Mid-bite
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images + Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
This seems a mild affront to one's sensibilities, but I must lead off with it because, as insignificant as it seems, I'm almost convinced there's a food service conspiracy to continue this godforsaken trend possibly just to personally annoy me. Specifically me. Like there's a food service company out there someone called "You Know Felix? Yeah, Fuck That Guy" and they train their employees to play havoc with my good nature.
I am unsure as to the amount of time spent in a restaurant not chewing versus the amount of time spent on premises chewing, if there's an algorithm to figure it out or anything like that. What I do know is that the moment I've got my craw stuffed with buffalo chicken or fried onion sticks and a medium-well burger with pepper jack cheese, my server will appear like a goblin summoned from the Labyrinth to ask how I'm enjoying my meal. So I'll sit there with cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk who has hoarding issues and try to gurgle forth some kind of appropriate response, and I never know why. It may be the desperate look on the server's face that suggests they need my approval or some ingrained brain malfunction of my own that triggers the need to reply to inane and unimportant questions regardless of the circumstances, but I'll say something insightful like "Glark," and they nod and race off to give someone else a watery Pepsi and a Frito pie.

The secret ingredient is chest pains.
I understand the reason behind asking me if I'm enjoying my meal, and I could probably be persuaded to agree that it's appropriate to ask me mid-meal instead of after the meal, just in case there was a problem that I needed fixed before it was all over. But when you're caught grazing like a malnourished cow finally let out to pasture, no one is being helped by questioning the quality or enjoyment of the meal at that point. What if something actually is wrong? What if I have a faceful of Caesar salad because I just tried your blue cheese burger, and it tasted like the underside of a Baldwin? When has a server ever stayed around long enough to get that information when your mouth is full? As soon as you establish you're still conscious with some kind of audible expression beyond a fart, they're off to another table. You could shout them back again once you swallow, but that's obviously something you'll only do if you need them. And they don't know you need them because all you said was something that sounds a lot like the sounds you make when you're in the shower getting frisky with the body wash.
#4. Food That Doesn't Belong in a Restaurant
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
The word "foodie" is horrible, and anyone who uses it is probably terrible and unlovable. They're like food hipsters, a person who has the audacity to somehow be smug about food. It's food, you silly twat. We could all sustain ourselves on a futuristic protein and vitamin paste if we needed to so don't talk down to me about artisanal cheeses because they're just regular cheeses someone charged you extra money for because you're dumb enough to pay it. That said, I'm willing to take a stand on some food issues and suggest that there are times and places for certain foods, and some foods do not belong in a restaurant. Not ever.
When you go out to eat you're doing it for any number of reasons: convenience, to experience something new, you haven't gone shopping yet, whatever. But regardless of the reason, you don't actually want what you'd make at home, because if you could make it at home, of course you'd make it at home. That isn't to say you can't make burgers at home, but have you ever made a restaurant-quality burger at home? Most of us don't. There's usually a little more effort in restaurant food; there's something that elevates it above home-cooked fare, and that's the attraction. And then some lazy shit goes and puts grilled cheese on their menu.

Your sandwich will be ready as soon as I stand up and scrape it off.
I watch the Food Network when I'm bored, I know there are food trucks out there that sell nothing but grilled cheese. But it's gourmet truck cheese -- it has prosciutto or avocado and chipotle or some kind of bacon made from bald eagles. That's fine. But if you run a restaurant and you serve grilled cheese, just literally two pieces of Wonder Bread with a Kraft single in the middle, Satan is writing your name on a list right now.
You may be thinking, "Felix, I like grilled cheese! I'd totally order it at a restaurant." That's swell. I like grilled cheese, too. But you're an enabler. You sent that restaurateur to hell. I hope you're happy with that. Grilled cheese is barely a step above toast, and I bet even a gassy hobo could make half-decent toast by just squatting over some bread for a while. The very idea of grilled cheese in a restaurant is an affront to hungry people everywhere. The same can be said for anyone bold enough to put a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the menu, because that's clown shit.
#3. A Ridiculous Number of Menu Items
Jack Hollingsworth/Photodisc/Getty Images
There used to be a sandwich shop down the street from where I live that sold about six kinds of sandwiches. My mind was boggled the one and only time I entered this establishment, and it doesn't boggle easily because I take pills. Subway has like 30 sandwiches at any given time. This place had six. I felt like maybe the owner had been in an accident where something hilarious hit him on the head, like an anvil or Sinbad's career, and he just had this inspiration to open a restaurant that sold six sandwiches and no one in his life had the heart to tell him he was a complete moron. The moral of this story is to not sell six things at your restaurant, because that's literally dumber than reality TV. If A&E's primetime lineup was back-to-back Jeopardy! against a sandwich shop with six sandwiches, both would end in the negative dollars. But A&E's loss would be less dramatic. A sandwich shop with six sandwiches is even dumber than that metaphor.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
But ... nothing's dumber than that metaphor.
On the other side of the coin, if you have a menu that reads like Dostoyevsky, you also have a problem. Restaurants that manage to hover around the 100-items mark are probably run by insane people also, who just like the idea of food but have no idea what to do with it beyond the idea stage. People in restaurants have a general idea of what they want, which is why they show up at a certain location most times. You go to a Mexican place because you want something Mexican. You go to a steakhouse because you want meat. But when you're given a menu that spans the globe and generations and cooking styles, you'll just sit there in stupefied hunger for far longer than anyone is comfortable with trying to figure out what you want to order. Should you get the chicken fingers or the chicken kiev? Chili con carne or fish and chips? Beef wellington or dysentery? The possibilities are endless!
Restaurants that don't have focus are a lot like brothels that don't have good lighting. Whatever you order should have been a lot better than it was, and you didn't figure it out until it's too late, all because of the shitty way it's presented. Don't let that happen, kids.

Wedding bells: Picture that!
Weddings are important events in family history as each brings together individuals from two families to create another.
Photos of bride and groom are among the most cherished in families. Copies are sent far and wide, to relatives in other countries. When researchers begin to expand their family histories they often find the same photographs in the hands of branches in several countries or different cities.
It's another way of confirming the relationship between two groups of people. The sender of the photo may have inscribed it to the person who received it and indicated that the receiver was an aunt, uncle, cousin or sibling of the person who sent it. They may also have included the date and place of the wedding and the full names of bride and groom.
Here are more tips when working with wedding photos:

Penguins being one of the only mammals who have a single life partner. However when the male is out hunting, the female has been known to exchange sexual favours with other penguins in return for small pebbles for their nest. Hence using the character name from Pingu, which is a BAFTA award-winning British-Swiss stop-motion claymated television series created by Otmar Gutmann, of a penguin. Therefore the term Pingu, is given to a female who exudes slut-like quailities.

The Laurel Highlands Conference Wrestling Tournament seemed like a good idea for the longest time.
All the wrestling teams from the conference, including Bedford, Cambria Heights, Central Cambria and Penn Cambria, getting together for the first LHAC tournament at Bedford High School in somewhat of a mini-Thomas Tournament.
Yep, good idea. Right up until a few days before Saturday's tournament date. That's when it all went downhill and led to the cancellation of the tournament.
There was, and still is, a lot of confusion about what led to the tournament being canceled. Essentially, the mess boiled down to these facts:
* The tournament had to be voted on by the District 6 Committee.
* Nobody on the committee can remember seeing the tournament on the agenda or voting on it.
* Nobody involved in the tournament knows whose responsibility it was to take the idea to District 6.
* Teams were under the assumption that because it was a conference tournament, it didn't count toward the 22-point scheduling maximum.
The downfall began on Wednesday when Westmont Hilltop coach Matt Beaujon emailed Penn Cambria coach Todd Niebauer about not seeing the tournament in the District 6 Committee minutes and whether it counted as a point or not.
"It got me thinking about why it wasn't in the District 6 minutes," Niebauer said. "I mentioned it to my principal [William Marshall], who is on the District 6 committee, and he said 'You should call [District 6 Committee Chairman] Dave Crumrine.' He called my principal back and said he didn't remember it [being on the agenda].
"I talked to [former Forest Hills coach] Jim Bowser and he was very upset. He was one of the people who submitted the idea to the Laurel Highlands, and he was asking 'Was I supposed to take it to District 6?' But I don't have a clue who is responsible. It's a very weird circumstance, and the timing was terrible."
Asked who should have presented the tournament to District 6, Crumrine said the athletic directors. Did it have to be voted on? Would the tournament have cost the teams at least a point even though that's not the case in other sports? Well, that's where the picture gets fuzzier.
"In the past, the committee didn't see a league championship with individual champions in wrestling as the same as a championship game in basketball," said Crumrine, who is the principal at Central High School. "I don't know what they'd do now. If they had asked the district committee, then the committee could have agreed to it. They didn't do that. The whole thing is unfortunate."
Especially for Bedford, which had spent about $1,300 in preparation for the tournament. The school had spent about $1,000 for medals and awards, referees and workers. The Bedford Mat Club had spent about $300 in food and drinks, which it will actually still be able to use at the Thomas Tournament on Jan. 25-26.
"It was not a happy time at Bedford," Bedford coach Brian Creps said. "We had awards and officials. It was a pretty big deal. The tournament was scheduled last April. The Laurel Highlands Conference asked us to set it up. From there, we've been working on it. It was on the schedule of everybody in the Laurel Highlands. Nobody really checked on it. Nobody really wants to come clean with who was at fault."
Despite his frustration, Creps understands the problem of another point creating havoc on the schedule.
"I don't blame any school for not wanting to mess up the competition points," Creps said.
"I emailed Brian and told him I was sorry about how this happened, but it's better to find out now than before districts and have our wrestlers declared ineligible."
For Creps, it was just another blow to his schedule. His team had to pull out of the Dec. 27 Boiling Springs Tournament because of the recent snowstorms. The Dec. 21 Westmont Hilltop match was snowed out, and the Dec. 13 Richland match was moved to Jan. 23 because of the Rams' football run though the playoffs.
When he found out about the latest snafu, he called Everett coach Rob Ripple and asked if there was an opening in Saturday's Bloody Run Duals. About two hours later, as Bedford was traveling to Central Cambria for a dual meet, Ripple called him back and said the Bisons could wrestle in the Duals.
"It's been hectic for us," Creps said.

Sometimes less is more. That's the theory behind microfinance as explained by Charleston Southern University economics and business Professor Scott Pearson.
By lending a small amount of money, anywhere from $20 to $50 to $100, to entrepreneurs in struggling countries poverty can be reduced, businesses can be grown and the money can be paid back easily.
Pearson and two of his students - President of CSU's Market Economics Society Amanda Mulholland and Enactus Club VP Brandon Lorick - are heading up the Fourth Annual Walk for Economic Empowerment.
The 5k walk begins at 9 a.m. on Nov. 2 at CSU. They are looking for walkers to enter at $20 per person. Donuts and a gift bag will be provided, Lorick said.
"We're also giving prizes to whoever raises the most money and has the fastest time," Lorick said.
Mulholland said she is reaching out to students and the community to get as many people to join the walk as possible. This will be her third year participating.
"It's been growing every year," Mulholland said.
"The walk is an effort to raise money for Christian microfinance all over the world," Pearson said.
This year the school is sending proceeds to Moldova and the Philippines. The money is sent to Invest Credit, an organization that makes sure entrepreneurs have a solid business plan before money is lent, Pearson said.
The first Walk For Economic Empowerment took place in Boston five years ago. It has taken place at various cities throughout the world now.
The microfinance idea is based the Mohammed Yunus book, "Banker to the Poor." Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his efforts.
"It's a powerful way to raise money," Pearson said.
He said in his entrepreneurial action class he teaches about service action in the community. In his economic development class he teaches about the developing world.
"This dovetails quite nicely with that," he said of how the walk relates to what his students learn.
Pearson has spent time in Moldova and seen firsthand the positive effects of microfinance.
He met one woman who managed goats for elderly people who could no longer take care of the livestock.
"She milked the goats, turned it into cheese and split the profits with the owners," Pearson said. "Livestock is their life savings. She borrowed to build her business that way - microeconomics.
"Another man raised pigs and made sausage. He built a factory then added on to it while I was there. He had 40 employees.
"All those people have families. There's a cascading effect."
Another group started a plumbing supply business.
"We take plumbing for granted," Pearson said. "They needed capital to buy pipes."
According to Pearson, many Moldovan businesses and shops start out like a booth at the flea market.
"The lender checks out their business plan," he said. "The payback return is incredibly high. They've had a 98 percent payback rate of their loans.
"We are careful where we dedicate our money. When structured well, it works well, because lending is based on reputation.
"This lends small amounts to people who have never borrowed. Even $50 is important to them."
"The reason I participate is because this will impact the immediate person and the people to come," Mulholland said. "I hope to alleviate poverty and this is one of the best ways I've found to accomplish that."
"For me it was, if you give your money (to charities) you never know where it goes," Lorick said. "With this, it's proven to help person after person."
He added that Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, has some of the highest rates of human trafficking and alcoholism due to the nation's impoverished state. He said he feels passionate about raising funds to help fight these problems.
Pearson said there are an enormous number of Moldovans who leave their families for several years to go overseas to find work. To do this they must often leave their children behind.
"We don't see all the impacts poverty has," Pearson said. "That's one I find kind of striking."

PERC & Muhyiddin: A Pot Calling a Kettle Black
Muhyiddin said the report appeared to be part of a hidden agenda to destabilise the country.
"It has obvious ulterior motives and we do not need comments from those who know nothing about the country. They must be talking through their nose.
Muhyiddin's immediate response to the PERC's report is equally nonsensical. It appears that Muhyiddin know less about Malaysians than the PERC's consultants. What is so elusive about Malaysia?
The government that Muhyiddin represents should respond more intelligently by correcting details and allegations in the report. There is no ulterior motive. Malaysia is not even a regional powerhouse which is worth undermining unlike China, Japan or India.
However, the PERC report will be used by investors as a guide to prioritise their investment. Muhyiddin's wild criticism of PERC will not undermine its credibility but his less than intelligent respond, bordering name calling, will hurt Malaysia's reputation as an emerging knowledge economy.
"The fact is that Malaysians are happy and are not facing any major disaster and there is no racial trouble or war among us," Muhyiddin told a press conference.
The report did not claim that there is an ethnic war in Malaysia. The fact is an armed ethnic conflict is not a probable reality. Reasons: the armed forces are dominated mostly by a single ethnic, Malaysians who are frustrated with growing racism are leaving instead of fighting and ethnic threats are only coming from a small group of elite minorities.
How is Muhyiddin so sure that Malaysians are happy especially with a mediocre economy which does not create enough opportunities, growing inflation, deteriorating public institutions and separation of power and a country continue to bleed talents and investment?
PERC's report claimed that a group of elite minorities were dominating the national agenda to the extent that it was hurting Malaysia's attractiveness to investors. Is this statement not accurate? Perkasa and a handful of other racial and religious NGOs are dictating social development in the country. Unfortunately, these organisations know more about threats than dialogue.
Among the developments that caught its attention were the theft of military jet engines; the detention of terror suspects from a number of African and Middle East countries following warnings that Islamic militants were planning attacks on foreigners at resorts in Sabah; renewed ethnic and religious violence that included arson at some churches and desecration of mosques; and controversy over the integrity of key institutions like the judicial system.
The government should respond by taking a firmer action on political corruption e.g. PKFZ and the AG's report, worsening inter-ethnic relations, religious spats and others. It should send a thank you card to PERC for being a sounding board to Malaysia's growing pains.
We should we listen to? Muhyiddin or PERC?
10 comments:
Well, is there any surprise the way he responded. Typical Umno warlord response "bodering on name calling" as you describes it. They think through their mouth and not their head. Some people might use a more colourful description.
In my opinion, Muhyiddin response is rash, immature, and childish.No tact and no standard to be a DPM.Anyway, no problem la Khoo,wait Najib will say that Muhyiddin press statement does not reflect the Government's stand lor.
Typical of many Umno/BN so-called "leaders" who seem to suffer "Emperor's New Clothes" syndrome, i.e. suka sendiri bohong sendiri. This is why after March 8, 2008, they still refused to wake up to reality.
UMNO leaders never accept any negative comments, surveys or reports on Malaysia.
Either they pretend to be blind or attack the reports.
But then, who cares what Muhyiddin says. All that matters is perception and the international committee and foreign investors rely on these reports not Muhyiddin's rebuttal.
In fact, Muhyiddin stance will drive them away even further from Malaysia.
This response by Muhyiddin reflects the kind of intellectual substance that the man is made of. He should have countered, point for point, with concrete facts and figures instead of just rubbishing the PERC report.
Muhyiddin's knee jerk, immediate response to PERC's report is reminiscent of that minister in Saddam Hussein's cabinet during the Iraq war.
Do you remember that guy standing proudly in front of the TV camera in his spick-and-span uniform, and declaring confidently that the US army was being routed by the great, heroic Iraqi forces and that thousands of American soldiers were killed when in fact just behind him, on camera, viewers can see victorious US soldiers and army vehicles rumbling down the streets of Baghdad!
Led by Clowns
Muhyddin is the typical kampong minded twerp who got a position that only a mutt like him can sit on the chair of N0.2 because the real smart Alec will not get that at all & speak his mind & actually perform to the RAKYAT.
He has displayed his sickening biased character while he was on a trip in Turkey, with his sly slithering bunch of croonies clearly seen & watched by a business friend whilst he was on his trip to promote his electrical wares all by himself with no help from this TWERP at all because he was merely "NON-MUSLIM MALAY" & was no invited to the function at all is enough to speak a thousands words what we are facing here after 50years ,, its worst than meets the eye & I am watching all this crap daily so what new? The racial divide is getting so horrific ,, what do we do? Well, I will hope we will lash back soon & is able to stand up for our rights asap!!
Muhyddin has never displayed any intell
God help us if and when Muhyiddin becomes the next PM. Run. Run as far and as fast as you can.
Was the last sentence REALLY a question?
Anyone with a little IQ or knowledge will know to listen to. UMNO politicians are still living in pre-Internet era.
Have u heard how the bunch of morons in office discussing amongst themselves how to "NICK OFF MORE $$$"??? More to take is on d drawing board so to speak & shopping in London is the favourite spot for all of them & yet they behave like PARIAHS back on homeround,,why?? The world bank gave $100MIL for any deserving "creative or for R&D" recipients ,, where do u think this $$$ went to ?? For over 4 years i have been waiting for the funds after I attended talks & phone calls ,, it landed me in cold storage & the funds was already spread out to as many as they can find to "give out" but not to deserving real talented & creative recipients ,, was so clear. The one particular "recipient" was a lad from a telco company who was nothing but a absolute brag & was also a sly slithering snake amongst non-malays to gather "info" to know what was going on . He manged to "collect" at least the $500k (the millions was shared)for his turbo engine he dreamed of. What paper work he submitted??
The paper work that was submitted by a Raymond was virtually "stolen" by the Ministry of defence when he submitted to them for viewing which was the most idiotic thing he ever did of course ,, then again ,, we pay a real hefty price for being too open & honest.
Cradle Invest program was "shut down" for another called CRADLE INVESTMENT,, THE BEST COVER UP U CAN FIND IN THE CROOKS STRATEGY.
Imagine d staff of this CIP actually saw what was going on inside & this person finally could not tolerate all the crap happening in this company & having to witness non-malays being sidetracked, quit!!
This guy that sits on d hot seat (reeks of bad breadth)got the gall to tell u ,,"WE CANNOT GURANTEE U WILL GET THE APPROVAL COZ THE COMMITTEE..." HAH!! BAG THE BUCH OF MORONS!! Amongst us at the meetings of creative designers & inventors we have known who this buch of IDIOTS are & we all know we are hitting the wall asking for funds provided by world bank but these VULTURES dont think so. U tell me where do we people go from here for $$$ to make our creative designs come through??

on February 10, 2013 - 1:00 AM
Dick Wolf, creator of the "Law & Order" television phenomenon, has jumped to writing for print (and e-reader screens) with "The Intercept."
He isn't overreaching.
Wolf's first novel is tightly organized, fast-moving and totally of the moment. New York City has recovered from the attacks of 2001 but has not forgotten them. Its police department has its own anti-terror unit, and this is its story.
Not surprisingly, "The Intercept" is cinematic in style, reading much like a well-annotated script. There are no interior monologues here. Even when telling us what his (many) characters are thinking, Wolf does it from the omniscient narrator perspective. Motives, hopes and dreams remain in the background.
There will be time for those later. Right now, Detective Jeremy Fisk of the NYPD Intelligence Division, his colleagues (one of them his secret lover) and the FBI are busy unraveling a terrorist plot with enough threads to weave a small Persian rug.
Osama bin Laden may be dead, but his influence lives on. A plane is nearly hijacked by a man intent on crashing it into downtown Manhattan. Thwarted by quick-acting passengers, the attacker easily caves in under questioning, his answers leaving Fisk suspicious that there is much more to this story than their suspect is telling.
Probably much more than the clumsy hijacker – a mere pawn – even knows.
Wolf is adept at building a narrative with quick shifts of scenes for TV, and that expertise pays off here. We have the cops, the terrorists, the heroic passengers – now elevated to celebrity status – and constantly shifting threats and targets.
For Fisk, it is one, long, plastic-explosive filled version of deadly Whack-a-Mole, when every victory leads to even more questions, and even more potential for disaster. The more pieces of the puzzle they gather, the more it doesn't add up.
Regular viewers of television police procedurals may guess early on what is really happening here – having the benefit of seeing from the narrator's seat – but even those who are dead-on right likely will enjoy the twists Wolf tosses in before the action-packed final scenes, er, chapters.
The book's cover promotes the "Law & Order" connection; the author's name, in huge type for all his TV fans; the title and, in smaller type, the words "A Jeremy Fisk Novel," indicating a promise of more to come.
This guy Wolf could have a real future.

You are building apps for the iPhone/iPad, yet you remain curious about what the cloud can offer. Is it possible to deploy scalable, mobile Web applications on Windows Azure? How about storing data in the cloud? Is it possible to use the cloud for push notifications to the device? In this session you'll learn how to integrate iOS applications into an existing Windows Azure infrastructure, and what types of applications other organizations are building. You'll walk away confident in knowing how to extend your existing applications to take advantage of features on the device together with services in the cloud.
Oops, something didn't work.
There wasn't an app for that? You didn't search very hard.
Not only was there an iPhone app _called_ MIX11, there was one last year as well for MIX10 (which had just shy of 1,000 downloads during the conference -- http://mix10.confapp.com).
This year the iPhone app was joined by a version for Windows Phone 7 and for Android -- http://mix11.confapp.com
*All* these apps were written using C# and the .NET Framework (yes, the iPhone and Android apps too). If you want to leverage Azure, OData, and other Microsoft tech then being able to develop on those platforms in c# is a good place to start. Check out http://monotouch.net and http://mono-android.net (and http://confapp.com or http://conceptdev.blogspot.com if you like).
Just FYI - the code that I previewed in the MIX presentation has now been released - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2011/05/09/title-now-available-windows-azure-toolkit-for-ios.aspx

MIFFLIN - The transition from incarceration into society is difficult without a complete change of people, places and things, said Rev. Gary Krabill.
Krabill is the chaplain of Under His Wings, a faith-based aftercare and discipleship program developed through the Juniata County Prison Ministry, which assists ex-inmates during the transition.
"If you don't have a support system, you tend to make bad decisions," he said, and recidivism is high.
Rather than watching the incarceration rate of repeat offenders climb in Juniata County, the ministry provides a helping hand to individuals seeking help after being released from prison. Since the ministry is funded entirely through private donation, Krabill said participants are chosen carefully to ensure that funds are used appropriately.
"We screen pretty carefully who joins," he said.
Upon entering the program, each participant is assigned a mentor from a sponsoring church.
"The churches become their support system," he explained.
With help from their mentor, participants design a written life plan and begin working through the "Walking Your Faith" cirriculum. Krabill said principles learned through the program are reinforced by the faith community of the church.
For individuals requiring a more structured environment and guidance, Krabill said the ministry offers temporary, transitional housing in Juniata County. To qualify for housing, participants must be accountable to and participating in a sponsoring church, actively meet with a mentor and secure a job within the community. Additionally, residents must tithe a percentage of their income to the ministry and abide by policies and curfews of the house, enforced by houseparent Keith Jackson.
"I think the model is that we're thinking long-term," Krabill said, adding that the ultimate goal is to nurture members of the community and help them grow as Christians. "The strength of the program is the strength of the church."
Though the ministry has faced challenges throughout the years, Krabill said the closing of the Juniata County Prison in July hasn't affected the overall focus of the program. He has been visiting the Mifflin County Correctional Facility regularly to meet with the inmates there, and is working to extend the ministry to Mifflin County.
"There's been some concern," he said, noting that churches can be hesitant to open their communities to ex-inmates.
However, the warden and chaplain of the Mifflin County Correctional Facility have been very receptive to the ministry, he said. If the resources become available, his hope is to open a transitional housing facility in Mifflin County too.
"If God wants it to happen, it will," he said. "God has always provided what we need."
As the ministry grows, Krabill said he also hopes to reach young adults who are struggling before they reach the judicial system.
"We look at what's going to help (program participants) become responsible," he said, "(JCPM) is investing in the community for long-term health."

I never return our things to the library on time, but I always pay my fines.
I could have gone one more day without coming home this past weekend.
I nursed Ivy almost immediately when I returned, but only because she asked.
I kinda alot want to be done nursing, and (selfishly? rightly so?) I want to get my body back in order.
I feel quite peaceful about Thanksgiving this year. It used to be my "trigger" day and I've written about those times here. I am happy to say that I'm so much better this year.
I want to be a tiny mouse and live in this store. [Rebel Reclaimed, Grand Rapids, MI]

It's a CD I got from the library. And it's probably already overdue.

Wednesday, September 3, 2014
A man arrested Wednesday evening as a suspect in a home invasion and assault has been identified as Brandon Keith Sigmon, 31, of 257 Westbrook St. in Summerville, according to Berkeley County Sheriffs Office spokesman Dan Moon.
Sigmon has been charged with first-degree burglary, two counts of first-degree assault, three counts of kidnapping and possession of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime. Sigmon is being held at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center in Moncks Corner with a bond hearing scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday.
According to the sheriffs report released Thursday afternoon, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound white male with short blond hair wearing plaid shorts and a multi-colored shirt was going to door-to-door in the Cane Bay area under the pretense of selling vacuum cleaners.
The report said the suspect reached the home at 395 Decatur Drive in the Cane Bay Plantation community, where a 32-year-old woman was home with her two small children. She said the suspect came to her front door, which she did not open. He asked if she wanted to buy a vacuum cleaner and then asked to speak to her husband.
The victim said she told the man to leave or she would call the police, at which time he left the front door area. The woman then called her husband at his workplace to tell him about the encounter and that she felt nervous. Before she could finish the call, she said the suspect broke in through the back door and forced his way into the home. At that time, the husband said he could hear his wife screaming and the phone connection was lost. He then called 911 to report a possible break-in.
The victim told police that the suspect yelled at her to get off the phone, hit her in the face and head with his fist and then a handgun. He then pushed her head against a wall several times, and pushed her 4-year-old son against the wall as well.
The woman was able to escape through the front door with her son, where several neighbors had gathered after hearing the commotion. The victim told police the man left through the back door and went over a fence in the backyard. She also said she thought the man was going to kill her.
The report said the womans forehead was red and swollen, she suffered cuts and bruises to her face and hands and that she had a broken front tooth.
Moon said Sigmon was found trying to hide in a retention pond at about 7 p.m. Wednesday near where the alleged assault took place.
His arrest followed a large manhunt after 911 calls just after 2 p.m. Wednesday about a possible assault and home invasion in a Cane Bay home that resulted in the lockdown of Cane Bay Middle School and Cane Bay High School.
In addition to the gun, Moon said the suspect also had a Taser. No shots were fired as far as the BCSO is aware. No weapons have been recovered yet.
After arriving on the scene Wednesday afternoon, BSCO deputies and the S.C. Department of Natural Resources set up a perimeter around the area and began stopping cars in search of the suspect.
As a result, Cane Bay High School and Cane Bay Middle School were put on lockdown. The lockdown was lifted after about an hour, according to Moon, and all students were free to leave by dismissal time.

Making the war on coal global
July 26, 2013
Xor decades, leaders of the World Bank have recognized one of the surest ways to reduce poverty in developing countries is to help their residents obtain reasonably priced electricity....
To the persons who have disagreed:
Do you have a suggestion for low-cost electricity for developing nations other than coal-fired plants?
Do you not care that there will be unnecessary suffering/death? (You can't possibly think that won't happen.)
Just trying to figure out how people intelligent enough to read can still be so ignorant.

"That is plainly, simply crazy. Members of Congress should be looking into what, if anything, they can do to alter the World Bank's course. For some people in poor countries, that may be a matter of life or death."
I fear that Mr. Obama has done, and will continue if not stopped, so much damage that we do and even don't know about...that we will spend years upon years spending our energy just trying to fix what's been damaged. And, how many are hurt in the mean time? It's evident our country has suffered.

This part of OH tried to show the dangers that Obama would continue bringing to the coal industry. But who could have predicted that the blinders he has on would lead to a disastrously short-sighted and unnecessary global catastrophe. I have no words to express how appalled and saddened I am by the fate these men are prepared to condemn millions to.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool a steak lover — probably ever. A great cut is a great cut. If it's seasoned properly, given a great sear and cooked exactly as ordered, that adds up to a great steak.
Dallas, happily for steak lovers, has no shortage of excellent steakhouses. Consistently turning out outstanding steaks cooked reliably to order was the path to making this Best in DFW, and perhaps not surprisingly, the list is dominated by Best in DFW veterans — five out of seven were on the 2010 list.
Since that story was published, Dallas hasn't seen much evolution in its steak palaces, except perhaps that grass-fed beef, locally raised beef and Wagyu breeds (including Akaushi) are somewhat more prevalent. Creamed corn is the side order du moment, or as one waiter put it, "It's the new lobster mac" (referring to the perplexing past proliferation of lobster-enriched macaroni-and-cheese dishes offered as sides in recent years).
A couple of steakhouses changed location (Place at Perry's, Morton's the Steakhouse). And a couple that aim to show Dallas something different are on the way — Ser (pronounced Sear) at the Hilton Anatole and Charlie Palmer Steak at the Joule. Perhaps with their arrival on the scene, we'll see steakhouses treated with at least a touch of originality.
But for now, shrimp cocktails and Caesar salads continue to rule at the top of the menu; well-marbled, bone-in, dry-aged cuts are still the gold standard; the baked potato lives. In other words, it's all about the straight-ahead fabulous steakhouse experience.
Steak lovers are absolutely passionate about their dining rooms, and if your favorite steakhouse is not included here, we hope you'll tell us about it; turn to Page 27 to learn how.
Meanwhile, we're happy to present, in alphabetical order, our Best in DFW: Steakhouses.
Al Biernat's
You can feel the power in the dining room at Al Biernat's, where Dallas' movers and shakers stop in for a weeknight dinner, rock the power lunch or throw a birthday party for their kids' 20 closest friends. Steaks from Niman Ranch are featured, including a giant porterhouse for two and a spectacular dry-aged New York strip. Recently a bone-in Wagyu rib-eye from Genesis Beef in McKinney stole the show. Offered as a special, it was a gorgeous cut, beautifully seared, perfectly cooked (and expensive, at $69). These cuts are among the very best in town. Start with "Al's salad" — probably the best steakhouse salad in town, with shrimp, crab, avocado and hearts of palm. It's big enough to share. The service is coddling and the wine list terrifyingly pricey, but likely as not, a server will have a fabulous wine special up his or her sleeve — recently I snagged a 2009 Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cépages for $75, marked down from $145.
4217 Oak Lawn Ave., Dallas. 214-219-2201. albiernats.com
Bob's Steak and Chop House (original location)
Founder Bob Sambol no longer runs the place, but the original Bob's, with different ownership than the rest of the chain, has attained the status of a Dallas icon. The dining room is old-fashioned, to be sure, with wooden captain's chairs and a horse-racing theme. Giant jars of pickles and pickled peppers grace the tables; a giant glazed carrot is the signature garnish with the steaks. This place is all about no-nonsense classics: exemplary martinis, good shrimp cocktails. The signature cuts are a splendid prime cote de boeuf (also known as a bone-in rib-eye) or a prime, bone-in Kansas City strip (also known as a New York strip). Potatoes are included in the price.
The front room is the place to see and be seen. In the past, I always wound up in Siberia — one of the dreary back dining rooms. But recently it occurred to me to try requesting a table in the front. Sometimes all you have to do is ask.
4300 Lemmon Ave. at Wycliff, Dallas. 214-528-9446. bobs-steakandchop.com.
Bob's Steak and Chop House (Omni Dallas Hotel)
Same cuts, same pickles, same carrot — in a much more elegant setting: That's what you'll find at the newest Bob's, in the Omni Dallas Hotel. The rémoulade and cocktail sauce had to compensate for overcooked shrimp on a recent visit, and the wine list is at once overpriced and uninspired, but the blue-cheese salad was spot-on, and the signature cuts, both with gorgeous sears and perfectly cooked, were excellent.
Omni Dallas, 555 S. Lamar St., Dallas. 214-652-4800. bobs-steakandchop.com.
Chamberlain's Steak and Chop House
Of all the steakhouses in and around Dallas, Chamberlain's has been the most consistently reliable for excellent cuts, well-seasoned and cooked exactly to order. I prefer the bone-in, dry-aged cuts to the Wagyu steaks here, especially, lately, a New York strip with incredible depth of flavor, a handsome crust and supple texture. It's hard to find prime filet; here the prime, bone-in filet, incredibly tender, with wonderful tang, is probably as good as a filet gets. The waitstaff is top-notch. That server knows your steak is cooked properly, doesn't bother you with a request to cut into it to be sure, but does check back in good time to see that everything's fine. Start with a classic Caesar or a lobster-shrimp bisque boosted with crabmeat (the waiter's right — it's totally worth the $4 upcharge). Skip the Parmesan-truffle grits that come with the steak (that truffle oil really overwhelms) and go for the garlic mashed potatoes or baked potato (for a small upcharge). The wine list is pricey and not terribly interesting, but you might well find something worthwhile on the page of specials.
5330 Belt Line Road, Dallas. 972-934-2467. chamberlainsrestaurant.com.
Dakota's Steakhouse
This is the first time downtown's shimmeringly pretty steak palace has been included in The Best in DFW: Steakhouses, having earned a spot thanks to its attentive service and unfailing attention to how its fine cuts are seasoned and seared. Only one cut on the menu is dry-aged: the 16-ounce cowboy (bone-in) rib-eye, and it is outstanding — wonderfully juicy, with a concentrated flavor that's unmistakably dry-aged. One night I lucked into another dry-aged cut, a tall and mighty bone-in New York strip offered as a special. The kitchen treated it with the respect it was due, a happy thing for all concerned. A bone-in filet with velvety texture and good flavor impressed, too. The starters can get a little fussy, but the Caesar doesn't disappoint — or go for hot, crisp, fritto misto with artichoke hearts, asparagus, shrimp and calamari. Skip the baked potato here (too big, too dense, too loaded) and try the fire-roasted corn with bits of pancetta and roasted red pepper. It's much easier to find an appealing and suitably generous red wine here for under $60 than it is at most other steakhouses in its class, and desserts are simple and satisfying.
600 N. Akard St., Dallas. 214-740-4001. www.dakotasrestaurant.com.
Nick and Sam's Steakhouse
When it comes to all-out, decadent, no-holds-barred meat-eating indulgence and fun, Nick and Sam's is the place to be. The place feels like a party, even on a Monday night. The cuts are formally presented before you order. At most steakhouses you don't even get a tiny amuse; here you get a full presentation of caviar, toast points, hard-cooked egg whites and sieved yolks, lemon, chopped red onion, chives. I wouldn't put any of that stuff on Sevruga, but this is paddlefish roe (salty, but with decent pop), so it's fun to dress it up. Starters include terrific North Atlantic oysters on the half shell and an impressive whole-leaf Caesar (didn't like the hard anchovy croutons, though). Want to splurge? The "longbone" cowboy rib-eye (shown on the Guide cover) was probably the most stupendous steak I've had in a couple of years — expertly seasoned, beautifully seared, perfectly cooked, served atop sautéed spinach and topped with a couple of knobs of black-truffle butter. It's absolute luxury — and crazy expensive, at $90. The kitchen cooks the steaks with precision; the formal service is pitch-perfect. And that devil's food cake with glossy ganache icing? Don't even try to resist.
After spending half a year slicing into rib-eyes and prodding baked potatoes, Nick and Sam's was my best all-around steakhouse experience.
3008 Maple Ave., Dallas. 214-871-7444. nick-sams.com.
Pappas Bros. Steakhouse
Recent visits to the steakhouse many connoisseurs consider to be Dallas' undisputed best impressed me less than past experiences had. One night it was service issues and steaks not cooked exactly as ordered. Another night the steaks were well-seasoned, nicely seared, perfectly cooked — very good, but unremarkable; the service was outstanding. Both nights, I loved the starters — plump, perfectly cooked shrimp with excellent rémoulade, and salmon rillettes made with fresh and smoked fish and served with goat cheese and croutons. And both nights, sommeliers conjured superb vintages according to our stated budget and flavor preferences. The list can take you quickly into triple digits, and I requested a suggestion in the $60 range — something more earthy than fruity, with some character. The sommelier, bless his heart, pointed us to the "sleeper bargain of the list" — a 2009 Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Carignan Vieilles Vignes, Paul Mas Estate, for $30. He decanted it, made as big a fuss as if we were spending $200, and it was lovely.
A little uneven, yes, but Pappas Bros. certainly remains one of D-FW's top steakhouses.

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
Consider it all improvement from here.
Five wins. That�s how many total the Durango High School girls basketball team won last year.
It�s also how many they won this year � before the holiday break, before the season halfway point and even before the beginning of Southwestern League play.
Just seven games into the season, the 5-2 Demons already have matched last year�s 5-16 team�s win total before tonight�s 2013 tip in a non-league game against Kirtland Central at Durango High School.
That record�s not because the Demons are the tallest. And it�s not because they�re the fastest or the strongest.
�This group of girls basically works hard to get along, to encourage one another and to build each other up,� Durango head coach Nancy Smith said.
And that�s the five-win difference.
�We definitely have really good team unity,� Shanelle Bogus said.
�We know how to read each other.�
�Just knowing where each other are on the court ... and putting it all together,� Alyssa Montoya said. That�s what wins games, she said.
Durango rarely, if ever, will have 6-4, 225-pound girls walk onto its basketball court, Smith said, so the focus for the Demons is taking a group of essentially �soccer girls� and making them a basketball team.
Smith said the winning isn�t what�s important to her, as a coach; making the best of who you are with what you�ve got is.
�It�s like someone giving you a bunch of ingredients and saying, �Make something with it,�� Smith said.
That�s the fun, she said.
So far, that�s translated into winning, which is plenty of fun, too.
�It�s definitely a lot of encouragement,� said Bogus, daughter of Mike and Wendi Bogus.
The Demons� biggest tests so far came at the Palisade Holiday Tournament as the holiday break began.
Against Cheyenne South from Wyoming, the Demons held off a long comeback to allow Molly Barnes� go-ahead 3-pointer to win the game with seconds remaining.
Then against Palisade, the DHS girls put together a well-rounded if �high on the blood pressure� performance, as Smith put it then, for an eight-point victory margin.
Those wins finally showed the Demons that they can beat anyone in the Southwest, Smith said.
Against Palisade, it was finding Emily McCue, who scored 24 points to go with 11 rebounds, that was key in victory, Bogus said.
And against South, it was finding Barnes open beyond the arc, Montoya said.
That�s how the whole team-unity thing works, they said.
�Yeah, we can play a team that has height on us or that has speed on us,� Bogus said.
Where the Demons beat them is �knowing our teammates� strengths and putting them all together,� Montoya said.
Plus some defense.
Smith said she learned early in life that anyone can play good defense.
�Because I grew up in North Carolina watching Duke,� the former Wake Forest player said.
�Our biggest goal is to be aggressive defensively and let our offense come from things we do defensively.�
And that will be critical tonight against Kirtland.
The Broncos should have some speed, though not size, on the Demons, who will look to control the transition game and set their own pace, Bogus said.
�We just have to put in the things we worked on over the break and put them in a game,� said Montoya, daughter of Richard and Victoria Montoya.

So, if President Barack Obama gets his way, fat-cat corporations will pay higher taxes, right?
Wrong. Many of the biggest companies in the United States would pay lower taxes if Obama's plan is rammed through Congress, according to several published reports.
Meanwhile, your friend down the street who happens to own a mom and pop home remodeling business will pay more. Money he otherwise would have used to grow his business, perhaps giving his handful of employees pay raises or even hiring more, will go to Washington, instead.
Many small business owners file taxes under an Internal Revenue Service classification called "S-corporations." Bigger companies are "C-corporations."
If Congress caves in to the White House, taxes on individuals, families and, in effect, S-corporations would go up if they earn more than $250,000 a year ($200,000 for a business owner who's not married). Now, if you're an S-corporation owner, part of the profit you make this year may be plowed right back into your business next year. In fact, as many small business owners will tell you, that's exactly what happens to substantial portions of any profit they make.
Again, however, Obama wants to take a larger share of your profit in federal income taxes.
What about the fat cats? Tax rates would go down for many large corporations if Obama's plan is enacted.
It's not as if taxes are much of a problem for the really big players. Consider General Electric: For at least two recent years, the firm didn't pay a dime in U.S. income taxes. Given the various incentives available from Washington, some analysts believe the company actually had a net gain from its dealings with the federal government.
Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE, happens to be chairman of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. He has supported many of Obama's initiatives. Wonder why?
Several corporate big-wigs have said they like Obama's plan. Of course they do: It puts them at a competitive advantage against many small businesses. And if company officers' personal income taxes go up, well, their boards can always grant them salary and benefits boosts to more than make up for the difference.
Let's move on to another aspect of the president's tax policy, involving the companies we all love to hate: "big oil." Insisting large oil companies receive $4 billion a year in tax breaks, Obama says he wants to eliminate them. But he is well aware that nearly all the tax incentives for oil and gas companies go to small, independent firms, not the big corporations.
So, if you own a little drilling or exploration company, you'll be burned doubly by the president's plan.
So will other Americans, who won't benefit from any of the oil and gas discoveries and production your enterprise might otherwise have generated.
But if you're "green," that's another story entirely. Obama and liberals in Congress want to extend taxpayer subsidies for companies in the wind and solar energy businesses, among others.
Federal subsidies for wind power alone amount to about $1 billion a year. Many of those windmills you see these days would not have been built had the government payments of 2.2 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity they produce not been in effect.
Speaking of taxes, what about one that isn't being mentioned much - on health care? Beginning in 2014, "Obamacare" kicks in full blast, and it will mean tens of millions of Americans will pay more for health care. Just one example: "Obamacare" requires establishment of "insurance exchanges" in every state. It has been revealed companies participating in them will have to pay 3.5 percent surcharges on policies, if the exchanges are run by the federal government.
But that won't increase the cost of health insurance, federal officials insist.
How stupid do they believe we are?
