'Roth Unbound' explores, reinforces novelist's standing
If you've been tempted to dismiss Philip Roth as a misogynist, a self-hating Jew or simply an old white male dinosaur, Claudia Roth Pierpont's "Roth Unbound: A Writer and His Books" makes a strong argument for giving the novelist another chance.
At a minimum, Pierpont's lucid book, intelligent but not academic, makes the case that "The Ghost Writer," "Sabbath's Theater" and "American Pastoral" are compelling works of fiction worth reading today. She also finds much of merit in Roth's other novels, even when she calmly notes their weaknesses. »Read Full Article

Second City brings 'Nut-Cracking Holiday Review' to Marcus
Christmas presents stolen by thieves. A takedown of a Christmas bell ringer. Loser gifts from thoughtless friends. And a bit of road rage thrown in for good measure.
That's how things begin in the "Nut-Cracking Holiday Revue," which is bringing Milwaukee a dose of typically twisted holiday humor from Second City, Chicago's legendary improvisational comedy empire. One of Second City's traveling troupes — five actors and an accompanying pianist — opened a two-week run at the Marcus Center's Vogel Hall on Thursday night. »Read Full Article
Listening to Lou Reed: 'Sally Can't Dance'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
"Sally Can't Dance" (1974), Lou Reed's fifth solo album, sounds like the child of "Transformer" (decadent and transgressive subjects, glammy poses) and "Berlin" (try-it-all production, a character's unglamorous demise), but not always in ways that flatter its parents. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

'Baggage Claim' is over the limit for cliches, outdated attitudes
The idea that a woman is not complete without a man seems a little antiquated in 2013, but that is essentially the message in "Baggage Claim," a recycled and contrived romantic comedy that suggests that no matter what else she might have going for her, a woman cannot have true happiness without a husband.

Clay Buchholz pitches Red Sox past Pirates 4-1
BRADENTON, Fla. Clay Buchholz pitched three hitless innings, Mike Carp hit a long homer and the Boston Red Sox beat a Pittsburgh Pirates split squad 4-1 on Sunday.
Buchholz faced nine batters and got five outs on grounders. He walked one and struck out one.
Jackie Bradley Jr., trying to win the starting job in center field, gave the Red Sox a 2-0 lead in the second by grounding a two-run single into right field.
In the third, Carp hit his second home run of the spring onto the boardwalk in right-center.
Pirates right-hander Charlie Morton worked the first three innings and allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits.
Pittsburgh was hitless until the sixth, when Gregory Polanco led off with an infield single.
Yankees 3, Rays 3
TAMPA, Fla. David Phelps boosted his bid to become the New York Yankees fifth starter, pitching five scoreless innings Sunday during a 3-3 tie with the Tampa Bay Rays in 10 innings.
Phelps, who gave up three hits and struck out one, is competing with Michael Pineda, Adam Warren and Vidal Nuno for the final rotation spot behind CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda, Masahiro Tanaka and Ivan Nova.
The right-hander has been touched for two runs over 9 2-3 innings in three spring training starts.
Twins 1, Phillies 1
FORT MYERS, Fla. Joe Mauer drove in the games first run with a first-inning single, and four Minnesota Twins pitchers combined to two-hit the Philadelphia Phillies in a 1-1 tie Sunday.
Mauer, who also flied out twice, is batting .250 through five spring games after making the full-time switch to first base.
The Phillies fell to 2-8-1 this spring, among the worst records in the majors.
A two-base throwing error by Twins third baseman Brandon Waring opened the door for the Phillies to tie the game in the eighth inning against Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson.
Right-hander Sam Deduno, who is battling Gibson and several others for the final rotation sport, threw three innings of shutout relief.
Nationals 11, Cardinals 1
VIERA, Fla. Stephen Strasburg overcame a shaky first inning and the Washington Nationals offense came up big again in an 11-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Making his second start of the spring, Strasburg walked two and gave up an RBI single to his first three batters before settling down. He went three innings, allowing two hits while throwing 28 of 48 pitches for strikes.
Anthony Rendon homered and Wilson Ramos had two hits and three RBIs for the Nationals, who have scored 27 runs in their last three games.
Allen Craig had two of St. Louis three hits, including an RBI single. Cardinals starter Joe Kelly gave up five runs and seven hits in 2 1-3 innings.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

YouBreast cancer rates rise as people -- especially women -- get older.
But about 10,000 women under age 40 get diagnosed with breast cancer each year according to YoungSurvival.org..
Some survivors and the families of those who have been through a diagnosis early in life find that doctors sometimes doubt what their patients are seeing. Sometimes good comes from the early doubt, such as a young California woman who tries to keep a positive attitude as she goes through treatment and a Virginia man who became an awareness activist after he lost his sister.
Cathy White found out that she had breast cancer early this year before her 23rd birthday.
Though some groups advocate that women of any age examine their breasts regularly for changes, White says she never had. But before getting in the shower one day in February, she noticed a lump on the right side of her breast, near her arm pit.
"I don't know why I did it," she says. "I just did it."
Her mother felt the lump, too, and decided she should go to a doctor.
White was at first told it was probably related to her period, since she was so young.
Still, the doctor did a needle biopsy and said that it looked benign.
"She left me with nothing but a bruise," White says.
A month later, though, she went to a breast care center for an ultrasound, which found a second lump. Three days later, she was told she had cancer.
"My world just kind of stopped," she says. Though she knew the doctor was talking to her, she couldn't really understand the words, and could only ask if she was going to die.
Doctors told her to come back the next day when she was more under control.
"At first, I didn't believe her. I was waiting for her to say, 'We were wrong.' That call never came," White says.
When she started to hear about all the tests, scans and appointments she needed, "That solidified that 'this is real.'"
Then she was able to get a grip and realize she had to be strong. After agonizing about whether to get a double mastectomy -- as one doctor suggested -- White had a lumpectomy and started a course of six chemotherapy treatments over six months. "Chemo really makes you feel like a cancer patient," she says, because it can leave her weak and tired and makes her feel like she's not in control of her body.
"It's hard (but) I've always been really positive and try not to let the little things get me down," she says, adding that she tries to stay upbeat so others around her can, as well.
She has days where she wants to break down, but "it's just not worth it."
But cancer did allow White to think a bit more about what she wants to do with her life.
Before she got sick, she was working 40 hours a week in for a company that sells auto parts and had taken some college-level accounting courses.
But the illness has led her to think more about going to school with a particular goal in mind.
"I don't want my life to be, 'Oh, I worked in an office.'"
She says she would now like to change majors to something that would help her learn how to help others, possibly by opening a breast cancer clinic in the Philippines.
Finding Missing In Cancer
Shawn Gardner, a 41-year-old teacher from Washington, D.C., was also pushed to do something for others by breast cancer. He became a vocal fighter after his sister died when she was 26 years old.

If you suspect you've suffered a stroke, typically a series of tests will be performed to determine if you did have a stroke, what type of stroke it was and which part of your brain is affected.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the following tests may be performed:
Physical examination: According to the Mayo Clinic, during this examination your doctor will ask about the symptoms you have and how long you've had them. He or she will likely also ask about what medications you're taking, if you've suffered any recent injuries, and what your family history is with strokes and heart disease. He or she will also probably check your blood pressure and listen to your heart.
Blood tests: Blood tests may be performed to check your blood sugar, see how fast your blood clots, check for infection and other key levels of your blood.
CT scan: A CT scan of your brain will likely be taken to check for tumors, strokes and hemorrhaging.
MRI: An MRI might be taken to check for an damaged brain tissue.
Carotid ultrasound: According to the Mayo Clinic, this test uses sound waves to create images of the carotid arteries in your neck to check for any buildups or blockage.
Cerebral angiogram: During this procedure, a thin tube is run from your groin through your major arteries into your carotid or vertebral artery to allow doctors to take a look at the arteries.
Echocardiogram: This test will check for blood clots in your heart that could have traveled from your heart to your brain to cause your stroke, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The judge in the cases of almost 60 people charged with running a veterans' charity that Florida prosecutors said was a gambling operation is trying to give those defendants desiring speedy trials their wish.
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said Thursday he was setting a hearing next week for about a half-dozen defendants wanting fast trials. They include Jacksonville attorney Kelly Mathis, charged with being the mastermind.
Lester said he hopes to begin those trials by August, barring setbacks. The prosecutor estimated trials would last two months.
The remaining cases will be scheduled afterward.
The investigation into Allied Veterans of the World led to the resignation of former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll after she was interviewed during the probe. Her firm did work for Allied but she denied wrongdoing and wasn't charged.

Orange voters to consider new town office building
ORANGE A year after electing their first new town clerk and treasurer in more than three decades, voters here will be asked in March to replace the tiny office building where Rita Bisson worked for 33 years.
Last week the Select Board ended a months-long discussion, sparked by a three-year-old energy audit, when it agreed to ask voters to let the town borrow up to $300,000 for the project.
Town Clerk Kathie Felch, who was elected after Bisson retired last year and promptly signed on as her assistant, said the proposal will be discussed and decided on the floor of Oranges evening town meeting March 5.
Assuming voters approve the measure, the current office building all but its 96-square-foot vault will be demolished and the new structure will be built a few feet farther away from Town Hall and a little farther back from Route 302.
Thats the plan, according to Felch, who is hoping to temporarily set up shop in Town Hall until a new building that would be a little bigger, a lot more secure, and a whole lot more energy efficient is finished.
Unlike Town Hall, a building that was renovated in 2005, the clerks office in Orange is anything but historic. Built in 1975, the modest single-story structure with the then-spacious vault was constructed in anticipation of long-time clerk-treasurer Frank Beards retirement.
Beard, whose run as town clerk in Orange was even longer than Bissons, had his office at his home.
Construction of the clerks office next to Town Hall was an acknowledgement that the arrangement would soon be coming to end, and that there was a need to create secure storage space for the towns vital records.
The vault in what is now Felchs office has filled that bill for the past 37 years, but it is rapidly running out of room.
The same can be said of the small meeting room where the Select Board met Thursday night to approve the Town Meeting Day warning, and auditors huddled on Friday to go over the towns books.
Things are pretty tight here, said Felch, who noted the buildings layout is less than optimal for a clerks office. Visitors can literally stroll right up to Felchs desk and easily gain access to the computer system and the vault.
The counter planned in the proposed clerks office would cure that problem, creating a barrier that should make the operation more secure.
At 280 square feet, the new vault in the proposed office building would roughly triple the available storage space. And while Felchs new office would be about the same size as her current one, the meeting room that is used by the Select Board and others would be measurably bigger.
Though the plan is to construct a larger building, Felch said the expectation is that it will cost less to heat. The proposal calls for installing a floor with radiant heat, energy efficient windows, and ample insulation something recommended by the energy audit that was conducted in 2010.
Felch said the board has discussed taking out a 30-year loan, with voters permission, to pay for a project that wouldnt actually start until the spring of 2014.
The delay, she said, would give the town time to refine the design and obtain the necessary permits this year for the 1,280-square-foot building, and break ground next spring.

Acclaimed screenwriter Alex Kurtzman has had many amazing adventures throughout his career, and in the case of his directorial debut, "People Like Us," the big discovery was the end of the story sometimes makes for a great beginning.
"I started this movie with the ending, which almost never happens," Kurtzman told me in a recent interview. "I was sitting in my back yard about eight years ago and thinking of my half-sister, who I knew of but didn't know -- when this image popped into my mind that is the last scene of the movie. I felt it very deeply."
Later that night, Kurtzman said he walked into a party, and about three hours later, "People Like Us" was serendipitously set in motion.
"A woman tapped me on my shoulder and said, 'I'm your sister.' I took that as a sign that I had to start writing the movie," Kurtzman recalled. "When the image came to me, I didn't know who the characters were and how I was going to get there, but I just knew that's where it was going to end. So it was a weird, eight-year odyssey from that moment to figuring it out."
Opening in theaters Friday nationwide, "People Like Us" stars Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks as Sam and Frankie, a pair of siblings who didn't know each other existed, but share the same sort of hurt over the loss of their father.
"People Like Us" first introduces us to Sam, a fast-talking corporate barterer in New York who reluctantly returns home to Los Angeles with his girlfriend (Olivia Wilde) after learning of the death of his estranged father, Jerry. After a tense reunion with his conflicted mother (Michelle Pfeiffer), Sam learns in secret through his father's will that he is to deliver $150,000 to to the half-sister he never knew.
Once he locates Frankie, Sam discovers she's a struggling single mother with lots of baggage, mostly due to the fact that Jerry deserted Frankie and her mother when the girl was 8. Afraid of the consequences of telling Frankie who he really is, Sam holds back on delivering the cash and befriends her instead. Sam's hope is that somehow, he can learn more about his dad and someday, become a family with his sister and her son.
Kurtzman, who with writing partner Roberto Orci has penned some of the most successful films in recent memory with "Mission: Impossible III," "Star Trek" and the first two "Transformers" movies, paired once again for "People Like Us" -- but this time added college friend Jody Lambert to the screenwriting mix.
While it may seem odd to some that a writer known largely for his science work is the major creative force behind a drama, the truth of the matter is, films like "Star Trek" and "People Like Us" aren't that all together different. Much in the way "Star Trek" is a human story about relationships that happens to be encased in a science fiction film, "People Like Us" is a human story about relationships that happens to be encased within a drama.
"I think sci-fi, at least for me, works its best when it's a metaphor for something or when you are able to connect to it emotionally," Kurtzman said. "In 'Star Trek,' Chris plays a young rebellious man who never knew his father who ends up taking his first steps into adulthood in his father's shoes. I could use the same words to describe 'People Like Us.'"
Kurtzman said he feels lucky to have landed both Pine (he was not only amazed by the actor in 'Star Trek,' but by his stage performance in "The Lieutenant of Inishmore") and Banks ("She opened herself up in a way that was so rare and you feel it watching her on screen," the director said), because with their presence along with Pfeiffer gave him a unique opportunity.
"It's certainly rare that you get to tell a drama like this at the studio level," Kurtzman said. "Some of my favorite movies are dramas. I loved 'Kramer vs. Kramer,' not just because it's a beautiful story about people, but deeply flawed people. But those movies don't happen at much anymore and I guess I felt a tremendously responsibility with this one."
One of biggest characters in "People Like Us" is one you barely see with Jerry (Dean Chekvala), whose presence is felt throughout the film through Frankie's and Sam's emotional remembrances. Kurtzman said the lack of Jerry's physical presence wasn't due to a situation, a la Kevin Costner in "The Big Chill," where Chekvala's entire performance was cut out of the film; in fact, the entire premise of his absence was by design.
"'People Like Us' was very much designed as a ghost story, because these characters are trying to understand what happened, and the one man who could provide them answers is not around to tell them," Kurtzman said. "I thought that journey was interesting because it ultimately reflects something I've learned in my life, which there isn't really one version of the truth. People can tell you certain versions of it and you can fill in certain blanks, but at the end of the day, the only real truth is the truth that you believe."

Everybody's afraid of something. Whether it be flying, public speaking, spiders or the dreaded dentist, we all have things that make us squirm.
When that fear becomes strong enough and irrational enough though, it develops into a full-blown phobia. Of course, not all phobias are created equal; some are just more irrational than others.
It's pretty easy to understand how the fear of heights (acrophobia) or dying (thanatophobia) can fill somebody with paralyzing dread, but what about the fear of chickens (alektorophobia) or chopsticks (consecotaleophobia)? Guess somebody isn't ordering the cashew chicken.
All jokes aside, the National Institute of Mental Health figures that up to 18 percent of Americans suffer from phobias, so there's a good chance that you yourself are phobic of something.
So, as we explore five of the strangest phobias out there, let's just hope your particular phobia isn't pinaciphobia, or rather, the fear of lists ...
No. 5: Sesquipedaliophobia - Fear of long words
It took one seriously sick sense of humor to come up with the name for this phobia. Seriously, how can anybody who suffers from the fear of long words ever be expected to tell people what their diagnosis is?
In reality, there have been no actual documented cases involving sesquipedaliophobia, but the experts haven't let that stop them from identifying it as a type of anxiety disorder anyways.
One wonders how someone would even develop such a phobia. Maybe it would have something to do with an overzealous English teacher and an unfortunate spelling bee mishap?
But the word wasn't quite long enough for some jokesters, who suggested the 15-syllable hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia instead. Just try to pronounce that one. Or, rather, don't. We're not waiting.
This longer version is a combination of the original phobia with the roots for hippopotamus and monstrous tacked onto the beginning: Literally, the fear of long hippopotamus monster words.
Frightening, sure, but not nearly as much as our next selection ...
No.4: Pentheraphobia - Fear of your mother-in-law
Most married people realize deep down that their mother-in-law isn't really out to get them ... although it can sure feel that way at times, can't it?
But while most of us leave it at simply not liking our mothers-in-law, there is a smaller group that suffers from the surprisingly common, although often unspoken, phobia of mothers-in-law.
Pentheraphobia can be caused by an intense negative experience from your past, but your mind can also create that fear seemingly without basis.
Then again, maybe that basis can be found in pop culture. There's no doubt mothers-in-law have been an all-too-convenient storytelling tool since the dawn of both television and movies. The ranks of overbearing matriarchs run the gamut from Mother Jefferson on "The Jeffersons" and Endora on "Bewitched" to Jane Fonda's title character in the 2005 theatrical flop "Monster-in-Law."
Of course, of the many available therapies for pentheraphobia, divorce seems to be the quickest and most popular method.
However, not even divorce can keep you safe from our next fearful selection ...
No. 3: Linonophobia - Fear of string
When it comes to this fear, there's one thing we know for sure: Cats sure don't suffer from it.
Linonophobia is the abnormal fear of string; and that means string of all colors and fibers, including yarn, thread and even sometimes rope.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Find a Quality Realtor. Support the Gospel of Life!
If you, or someone you know, needs to buy or sell a house, office, or any kind of domestic or commercial property anywhere in the world, call Real Estate For Life on 1-877-LIFE-US1.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Sale of Channel 6 reflects value of local TV stations
Television reporters and anchors come and go. But TV stations are local institutions whose roots in the community can often date back decades.
Like other institutions today, they are facing challenges. But they also are increasingly valuable commodities because, as Will Rogers once said about real estate, they aren't making more of them. »Read Full Article(2)

Milwaukee bands get their own stage at SXSW 2014 in Austin, Texas
PHOX frontwoman Monica Martin had one realistic goal for the band's trip to Austin, Texas, last year during the South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival: eat some good tacos.

Before the year was done, Greene got PHOX on the Lollapalooza lineup in Chicago and booked an opening gig for the Lumineers at the iTunes Festival in London. »Read Full Article

In Mengestu's "All Our Names," new stories vie with old histories
One of the two narrators of "All Our Names," Dinaw Mengestu's third novel, is a twentysomething Ethiopian man born with 13 names, reflecting his family's rich history. As he is now rootless and that history is largely irrelevant, we never learn any of them; among his many aliases, the one he uses most is Isaac.
The second narrator, a very rooted 30-year-old social worker in a "semi-rural Midwestern town" — located somewhere between Chicago and St. Louis and dubbed Laurel — is an unmarried white woman named Helen; she still lives with her mother and has never traveled farther than St. Louis. »Read Full Article
Listening to Lou Reed: 'New Sensations'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
Released in 1984, "New Sensations" was Lou Reed's peppiest album since "Coney Island Baby," and very much a pop-rock album, too. It's so upbeat in spots a Reed fan is tempted to wonder what happened to Lou. »Read Full Blog Post

Present Music, Danceworks give devil his due in 'Temptation's Snare'
Present Music is the headliner for "Temptation's Snare," playing this weekend at Next Act Theatre. But the final result is such a fusion with dance and theater that the outstanding septet of musicians often winds up in a supporting role.
The scenario makes perfect sense for Present Music: Take Stravinsky's classic "A Soldier's Tale," written nearly 100 years ago but still forbiddingly modern in the minds of too many concertgoers. (Sometimes it is performed with narration and dancers, sometimes without.) Add in "Histories," written two years ago to complement the Stravinsky by Sleeping Giant, a Brooklyn-based collective of six young composers. »Read Full Article

Greek green beans and tomatoes
Makes 6 cups (8 to 12 servings)
This is a traditional dish of Greek tavernas, served with platters of olives before the entrée. The dish will make a tasty, and healthful, addition to your appetizer offerings.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 1 ½ cups)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound green beans, trimmed
One 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in the beans, tomatoes with juice, and parsley.
When the liquid begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low; cover and cook until the beans are very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Use tongs for serving and provide plates and forks for your guests.
Advance preparation
The beans will keep for up to 4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Have these tires under the falken high country name.
Tires have great initial attributes for traction, tread depth, and noise levels.
I currently have 43km on them and will be likely done by 50km
the phasing/droning sound has increased considerably along with the
Vibration levels.
I will look to a different tire as it feels like I just put this set on and nearly all the tread sipes have disappeared. Centre tread is nearly smooth and close to wear bars..

Surprisingly quiet, good grip on dirt roads.
Sizing chosen is not stock, slightly thinner and higher.
Looks great on Tribute/Escape, handles well.

About 3000 miles so far only complaint is on cold days they take a set from being parked overnight, but round out within the first mile or so.
Very good traction in water and light snow and a very nice ride (low noise) on pavement. This tire is as good as BF Goodrich a/t and at
a substantially lower price point. I was pleasantly surprised at this tires
off road ability to climb and bite into soft sand and gravel. I would buy
these again.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Blind Xpress of Livonia, Mich. announced the recall of about 139,000 custom-made vertical and 315,000 horizontal blinds.
According to a news release, in 2009, a 2-year-old girl from Commerce Township, Mich.was reportedly strangled in the loop of a vertical blind cord that was not attached to the wall or floor.
Blind Xpress custom vertical blinds have an adjustment cord that forms a loop that is not attached to the wall or floor. In some instances, this loop has a weighted device at the bottom. The custom horizontal blinds do not have inner cord stop devices to prevent the accessible inner cords from being pulled out. A child can become entangled in a cord loop and be strangled.
The recall involves all Blind Xpress custom-made vertical blinds that do not have a cord-tensioning device that attaches to the wall or floor, as well as all horizontal blinds that do not have inner cord stop devices.
The blinds were sold at various blind specialty stores in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana from Jan. 1995 through Dec. 2011 for between $16 and $380.
The CPSC urged consumers to immediately stop using the window coverings and to contact the Window Covering Safety Council to receive a free repair kit. For more information, contact the WCSC at 800-506-4636.
