Etiquette tips to overcome the dribbles and smears
By Dan O'Heron 07/21/2011
Good table manners may be next of kin to those civilized forms and ceremonies that help you advance in rank or dignity, but they are no poor relation.
Applied protocols, sharp resumes and the right ties may tell the world how you vote. But to get ahead, there's nothing more revealing about your environment, lifestyle and social adjustment than seeing how you eat spaghetti, crack a crab in a public house or juggle appetizers and drinks at a junket.
To bolster the claim, and not meant to be a rehash of Emily's postings, what follows are my purely personal preferences and prejudices, ripened for two decades while watching people eat and drink in Pasadena.
In addition, you may enjoy the following tips from local waiters on how they politely respond to the awkward moments that you — or your children — may have created.
Little kids, with unsynchronized hands, arms, legs and mouths (often open and resembling the inside of a jelly donut) are often an embarrassment to parents in a restaurant. "Not at ours," says Jack Huang, owner of Villa Sorriso, 168 W. Colorado Blvd., (626) 793-8008. "The parents do a good job in keeping the kids from running around and jumping into the fountain."
And now, parents won't have to teach their children to hold back from ordering expensive dishes: "My daughter has convinced me to have a child's menu." Huang adds.
Looking to future generations, Huang recently brought in a professional to hold an etiquette clinic especially for little girls, who showed up in fancy dresses. "Afterwards," says Huang, "one mother said I should do one for little boys. And another said, 'and husbands.'"
Men in Southern California are so determined to be casual that the only dress code to decipher is "come as you are." If that means wearing an undershirt, be sure to pair it with dark glasses. These days, more men are doffing baseball caps than tipping hats. At Houston's, 320 S. Arroyo Parkway, Pasadena, (626) 577-6001, they ask only that men wear shirts with sleeves.
When a child falls off a high chair, mom will sooth with a "there, there." While a grown-up will never be given a chance to fall off a bar stool at King's Row Gastropub, 20 E. Colorado Blvd., Old Pasadena, (626) 793-3010, you may hear the mellifluous tones of bartender Sonny Turco telling a patron they've had enough. Turco's technique is to gently try to get tipsy customers to believe stepping away from the bar is their own idea. "I talk to the person like I would a friend, somebody I care about, and I do," he says.
Way back when, at the Langham Huntington Hotel, 1401 South Oak Knoll Ave, Pasadena, (626) 568- 3900, a friend of mine was once refused admittance to the bar because "we have no provision for denims, sir." Today, while sipping tea in The Terrace, it wouldn't surprise me to see a young woman with a tattoo flirting from underneath the waistline of her low-rise jeans.
I could love a Dungeness crab if only it didn't play so hard to get. Should one go at it with hammer and tongs with great force, violence and attendant clatter? Not at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant, 111 N. Los Robles Ave., Pasadena, (626) 405-0064. Here, they'll teach you the rules of engagement: First, take the hinge-like piece of flesh that connects the shell to the body, and tug easily until the shell comes off. Next, break the crab into two big chunks. From there, twisting off each leg is a snap.
It's against the law to let dogs into restaurants, even if they are meticulously dressed. But at Il Fornaio, 24 W. Union St., Old Pasadena, (626) 683-9797, managing partner John Beeman says, "When customers tell us it's an assistance dog or other assistance animal, we welcome them." Still, he says he will often see a stowaway puppy peeking out of a tote bag. Years back, says Beeman, "a woman kept trying to bring in a big dog, finally threatening legal action. At last, one day, I said, 'Miss, the dog can come in, but you can't.'"
Other customer complaints are handled on the spot by charming and skillful servers like Il Fornaio's Nancy Ratliff. If soup is served at 140 degrees Fahrenheit and someone wants it at 210, she'll have the kitchen reheat it a little and the problem is taken care of. Only if a steak is first "undercooked" and then "overcooked" will she come to me directly.
The salad fork is the smaller implement set next to the dinner plate.
In formal dining, the knife is used to push food onto the fork.
In a Japanese restaurant, it gives no offense to drink soup from the bowl. But elsewhere, I miss seeing the Emily Post-style spoon outward then upward and parallel-to-the-mouth movement. And I weep to dehydration watching people with their faces down in the bowl as if it were a trough.
If noodles keep dangling from your chopsticks like wet streamers after a party — and you have trouble eating with any decorum — ask the waiter at Noodle World, 24 W. Colorado Blvd., Old Pasadena, (626) 585-5885, for a fork. Then, using a provided spoon as a fulcrum, twist just a few strands at a time. Try too many, and you'll soon have to revert back to bobbing and slurping.
No longer enforceable.
With a cup long emptied and nary a crumb of food on the table, a customer who uses a coffeehouse as office space should be fired.
"When customers talk down to us like we're servants, all we can do is nod in agreement and breathe easier when they are gone," confesses Ryan Choi, owner/waiter at Teri & Yaki, 319 S. Arroyo Parkway, Pasadena, (626) 683-9865. Waiters in fancier places tell me they absolutely hate responding to "ahem" and its less-throaty cousin, "psst."
If you notice that persons across the table have leftovers on their faces, keep blotting your mouth or nose until they take the hint and do the same. Everybody knows that.
It's handy and proper to pick up sushi with your thumb and forefinger. Sashimi, however, requires chopsticks. On a communal platter, reverse the chopsticks to bring morsels to your plate. Seeing this, those at the next table who understand classic etiquette will hold you in awe. It's a tactic seldom seen these days.
If piped-in music is too loud, I remind managers that throughout history, trumpets were used to gather people together in wars so that they might go to battle.
At fast-food to-go counters, dimes and pennies in a tip jar do not make for much of a wishing well. Once in awhile, it pays to slip it a dollar bill, but only if a regular barista is watching. At Starbuck's in Eagle Rock, it gets me extra shots of espresso.
If worried about getting wilted glances from French waiters when mispronouncing an order, the book "Food Lover's Companion" will help you out. Using a "sounding out" phonetic method to pronounce foreign food terms, the maize mushroom "huitlacoche" becomes (whee-lah-KOH-chay). If you can't find the book, visit Crème de la Crêpe Café, 36 W. Colorado Blvd., Old Pasadena , (626) 844-0007, where they serve fine food but aren't too fussy about how it's ordered.
Also, in Vietnamese restaurants, where French is often spoken, remember that it is not "pho" as in "friend or …," but "fuh," as in "what the …"

"Forms can have no cause or effect independently of their realization in and through some actual occasion. But still, form cannot simply be reduced to its material instantiations, either. Forms, in Whitehead's terms, are possibilities of definiteness. They determine (or allow occasions to determine) how an occasion will be characterized. If we dispense with forms as ontologically basic, we have not at all sided with concrete reality over abstraction. On the contrary, without the participation of eternal objects (Whitehead's term for forms in his reformed Platonism), "matter" and "energy" can take on no definite quality. They remain vague abstractions lacking all particularity."
I want emphasize the self-organizing properties or sufficiency of energy-matter rather than support archaic formulas that posit 'form' being imposed on 'matter' from without. Matter is a self-sufficient potency that becomes structured according to the primordial cosmological constraints and intensive differences inherent to particular temporal evolutions. The immanent possibilities of actual occasions, then, are expressions of the morphological capacities inherent to the life-trajectory of particular (cosmological and historical) material realities.
"Just as capacities of thought, of being, are made in lived bodies, in complex and delicately conjoined tissues and processes, and just as powers are inherent in all matter, materialism also requires that the capacities of activity, thought, sensation, and affect possible to each composition whether organic or not are shaped by what it is, what it connects to, and the dimensions of relationality around it." (Fuller 2005: 174)At base, my conception of "matter" only signifies the structural efficacy (tangibility) of cosmo-historical occasions and assemblages as they continue to evolve. How "matter" actually operates and what it involves is still up for debate, but I would argue that it is without a doubt stranger, more active and self-organizing than has hitherto been assumed.
Matt continues:
"To be concrete means less to be material than it does to be some actual occasion with this or that particular shade of definiteness. These shades of definiteness, say the red hue characterizing the sky during yesterday's sunset, are eternal possibilities awaiting and only sometimes gaining temporal realization. In our cosmic neighborhood, matter-energy/space-time participates in specific forms of definiteness constraining what is possible; these can be symbolically expressed via mathematical notation (what Whitehead refers to as the objective species of eternal object)."I have never seen evidence of any of that. Definiteness is not granted by God nor is it imposed by the eternal laws of nature, but is the result and expression of the inherent potency of matter contingently related. "Matter-energy/space-time" does not participate in forms, it is the very ground upon which participation is possible. Sunsets are not "eternal possibilities" but immanent actualities generated through the emergent activities and collaboration of photons, electrons, hydrogen, helium, oxygen, earth, etc., etc., as they are "stacked" into particular living ecologies. World-flesh is self-sufficient complexity.
UPDATE: Levi Bryant has a great post explaining why hylomorphism just doesn't work: here. Levi writes:
Matter is both structured and anarchic. Order does not descend from above, but is rather always a communistics or anarchistic result… Which is to say it is always the result of the collaborative interplay structured matters that are simultaneously passive and active. It's hard to overcome our will to mastery (which is really, I think, what hylomorphism is libidinally about), but hylomorphism is metaphysically mistaken, epistemically mistaken, and politically and ethically dangerous. Bergson famously argued that there's no such thing as disorder, but rather "disorder" is just the absence of order that we'd like to have for the sake of our own action or aims. Simondon and Deleuze make similar points, though in a far more refined way. These arguments continue to hold today, yet they still, I think, have not been heard. Ontology, politics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics have still not become flat… Which is to say, anarchistic and communistic.Hell yeah anarchistic and communistic... A veritable Wilderness of Being.

In the Latest Leaders this week, I got #22!! Last week, I was #23, so I'm moving along slowly but steadily. In continuation of Jimmy's "dedication" tradition, I will dedicate this ranking to one Marcus Giles.
Marcus played with the Padres in 2007. He is Brian Giles' younger brother, and it was really cool to watch them play together that year. Marcus played second base for the majority of the year, but was released at the end of the '07 season.
I think he's the only guy that has had #22 in the last few years, so he's the man. He signed a minor league deal with the Rockies for 2008, but I think he was released after Spring Training. He spend 2008 just living in San Diego with his wife and three little girls. Just a few weeks ago he was signed by the Phillies and invited to Spring Training. I hope he does very well!
In other news, the Padres signed a new play-by-play guy: Mark Neely. I think he's related to bigpapi72, right?
Baseball is coming…I can feel it…but I think I'm going through a bit of writer's block, so if this entry seemed a little strained, that's why. I just can't seem to be writing as well…AHHH!!!
Anyways, thanks to all my readers for getting me to #22. I would love to be able to dedicate a ranking to my favorite player, Kevin Kouzmanoff, soon…he's #5…
6 Comments
Kaybee – congrats on moving on up and for letting us know about #22! (I found another #4 to write about.) I think you are right about Mark Neely being related to Bigpapi. Congrats again – it is well deserved!
Hi, Kaybee …
"Congratulations" on moving up to #22 on the latest Leader's List !!! … Also, thanks for mentioning my name in your above, and continuing this great dedication tradition !!! … Nice post in honor of your dedication to #22, Marcus Giles !!! … Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L" http://baseballtheyankeesandlife.mlblogs.com/
Didn't the Giles brothers play together on the Braves, too?
Congrats!! I forgot about Marcus Giles lately! I hope he does well in Philadelphia. And Kaybee, don't worry. Your writing is fine! Really.
Congrats. Mark Neely's my godfather. I was number 8! I dedicated it to Carl Yastrzemski.
We'll get you up to number five soon enough!! Very nice dedication to Marcus Giles! Very cool that Neely is related to one of our own! I'm so happy that baseball is coming! We have to have some kind of online blog party! And if you did have writers block, it really didn't show.

Recently, about three weeks ago, we had a dishwasher installed at home and it's been used around a dozen times. We use off the shelf liquid (and differing) tablet/sachet doodahs and at the moment is on the automatic setting.
The problem is, once the items are dry and back in the cupboard, they have a really quite pungent smell similar to raw egg. There's no debris, they are clean, rinsed and dried in the dishwasher and we aren't in an area of hard water.
There's nothing in the troubleshoot about odours. What's going on? Is this normal? Will it ease out with continued use? It really is quite an awful smell.
I first thought it might have been similar to how water from the bathroom taps tastes different to the kitchen but it doesn't seem to be.

MELAS Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report MELAS Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- Mitochondrial Myopathy, Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, Stroke-Like Episod
- Myopathy, Mitochondrial-Encephalopathy-Lactic Acidosis-Stroke
General Discussion
MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes) syndrome is a rare disorder that begins in childhood, usually between two and fifteen years of age, and mostly affects the nervous system and muscles. The most common early symptoms are seizures, recurrent headaches, loss of appetite and recurrent vomiting. Stroke-like episodes with temporary muscle weakness on one side of the body (hemiparesis) may also occur and this can lead to altered consciousness, vision and hearing loss, loss of motor skills and intellectual disability. MELAS is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA and in one patient, this syndrome has been associated with mutations in a nuclear gene, POLG1.

Skip to comments.Senate won't Pass Military Pay Protection Act
Posted on 09/30/2013 10:22:51 AM PDT by 11th_VA
FR won't let me post the link to Military Times, but the story is there ...
I think they won't bring it up. If they did, it would pass unanimously.
No more CRs from House until military funding bill is voted on.
So, democrats will not pay the active duty troops
purple lips is demanding he get his way or no way
The Senate acts as Obama's shield (nothing gets to him thus he is blameless and he says he will veto such and such and thus the senate doesn't bother bringing it up) and the Media acts as the Senate's shield.
No matter what the republicans in the House do, they will be blamed, so they might as well go for broke! But there are members like Peter King, that stand with the democrats on all things.
Chuck Schumer: "we're united. You're not."
Democrats care more about illegal aliens than American heroes.
Good. Let them alienate the military.
Now the Senate is holding the Military hostage ...
I guess this means that if Air Force One flies Obama to his pretend-work vacation in Bali next weekend, the military crew won't be getting paid but Obama will be getting paid
Active Duty/Retiree ping.
Yes I think this will easily be the over-reach that will make even some of the media report honestly.
Fixed that for you.
But there's a bonus; Republicans don't care about Americans either — if they did we'd see something done about the state-sponsored terrorism incident Fast and Furious, the Benghazi incident, the IRS scandal, the NSA scandal, the Tax-code, and "immigration" (read invasion) troubles.
This makes complete sense. 0's "as-well-funded force" is already well compensated, and their "pay" won't be affected by any federal shutdown.
Bali is Hindu - not Muslim. They hate 0bama.
I hope the pilots get the flu and can't fly.
fyi obama spent a 6 month "sabbatical" in Bali supposedly writing his book "Dreams of my Father" (the one that Ayers wrote for him maybe while obama stayed out of the way)
This period of his life is among the mysteries we don't know anything about, like what he did there and why he went there and who supported him
the active troops should just not do anything today...eat, sleep, run guard duty of course, but little else.....
They already have.
that is just not how the military mind is wired, they will do above and beyond what is expected or demanded of them, and they will find a way to take care of their own
they are not civilians wearing camo
They are not even at work until 2 o'clock today and didn't work yesterday.
...at 30,000 feet.
they don't vote democrat anyway. They lose nothing by ignoring the military.
My son is active. We're both unhappy about this.
Despite both my senators being functional illiterates, this will positively draw calls to both of them.
When they did this in 1978, the flights and med care for congressmen and senators was quietly shut down, congressional wives were turned away at the door and told to seek care elsewhere because there was no funding to cover them. There was also no funding for boondogle flights for congressmen. In a couple of cases where the "rulers" tried to force the question, aircrews and hospital staff called in sick. Commanders at the time were behind it; now, who knows. It worked and within two days the self-serving bastards restored all pay and funding.
Yeah, except historically speaking one of the best ways to turn the military against you [actively, that is] is to fail to pay them.
Reid is the power elite's messenger boy. He's told what to do then he gives the message to obama. This sheilds obama. He opened his mouth on Syria before he got Reid's instructions.
The AF pilots should have a "blue out". Everyone of them call in sick.
S.1541 - A bill to appropriate such funds as may be necessary to ensure that members of the Armed Forces, including reserve components thereof, and supporting civilian and contractor personnel continue to receive pay and allowances for active service performed when a Governmentwide shutdown occurs, and for other purposes.113th Congress (2013-2014)
The following 25 Republicans stood shoulder to shoulder with Senator Harry Reid and President Obama to fund ObamaCare:
Johnson (WI)
Meanwhile, the 19 heroes who stood with Senators Cruz and Lee to defund ObamaCare are:
Two Republican senators did not vote:
TH House should pass a
"Fully Fund Social Security Payments"
bill, and have the Senate reject it.
well Jimmuh Carter was a posturing self righteous axxhole but he was NOT a deranged emotionally detached unstable illiterate narcissist like Obama
and congress democrats were a whole different breed back then, now they might as well be brown shirts for the disdain and even hatred have for over half the American public
So let me get this straight.
Our men and women in uniform, who put their lives on the line day-in and day-out for this country in accordance with a Constitutionally-defined function of government, are going to go without pay.
TSA workers, however, whose job consists of violating the United State Constitution on a daily basis, are going to keep getting their checks.
Something seems hugely amiss about that to me.
It's not just pissing off active-duty, it's also pissing off already angered veterans and military families who see OBayMe arming Al Qaeda in Syria. I call it politicians committing treason what do you call it besides vote them all out?
Dittos for his golf caddies and the poor guy who has to hold his umbrella for him. This is not going to end well.
Treason is a good term for it.
That sux for yours and mine!! Traitorous bastards!
To their credit, both my knee-jerk Obama-worshipping Senators have D.C. office staff that is both courteous and polite. I expect no action from either of them, but a tip of the cap to those who answered the phones.
Democrats HATE THE MILITARY and always have. If it were up to them they would not have any pay.
"The Senate acts as Obamas shield"
As well as, (among other things) his shill, beard and/or pimp!
RAT and RINO B@stards!
Has this been going on since 2011 or is this time a redo of the same Rat tactics?
Efforts to Protect Military Pay Stalled
September 23, 2011 | Terry Howell
Government shutdown: Harry Reid spearheads Democratic strategy (refuse to negotiate)
When the president considered sitting down with the four congressional leaders in the White House ahead of the deadline to avert a government shutdown, Reid privately urged Obama to call off the meeting, according to several people familiar with the situation. Reid believed that it would amount to nothing more than a photo-op that would give the false impression that a serious negotiation was occurring, even warning he wouldnt attend such a session. Obama scrapped it.
As Washington barrels forward to the first government shutdown in 17 years on Tuesday, the wily Reid has taken the lead role in pushing a hardball Democratic legislative strategy that can be summed up like this: Make the Republicans cave.
Bob Woodward: If Shutdown or Debt Ceiling Causes Economic Crisis, Its on the Presidents Head
Obama Inc. to Deny Cancer Treatments by Redefining What Cancer Is
The death panels arent going to come through the front door. Theyre going to sneak up on you from behind with piano wire.
democrats in the house and senate were mostly the same as they are today, with a few more exceptions. Read "The Roosevelt Myth" and you'll see that today is much like history repeating itself, with the house and senate mostly doing everything it could to support Roosevelt's socialist agenda.
No military pay then no welfare pay and no congressional/executive/legislative branch pay either.
..this s*** comes right from the top..........
Campaigns to vote these slithering Elitists out in 2014 start now, ya think?
I believe that the Senate passed the bill this afternoon and sent it on to the President for signature.
Only because, politically, they HAD NO CHOICE.

Rammstein is going forword their own line. There is no changing in their style and they are number one of Industrial metal music. Album is very listenable, sometimes hard, somtimes soft and emotional whit hard melodies. Especially tracks 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 are very impressive. Also, entrance of this album is very traditional for rammstein and good.
Written by Slayer666 on 25.03.2010 at 21:24
After giving the album many, many spins I came to a conclusion that it's an excellent, varied peice of work. They certianly redeemed themselves for Rosenrot.

Holy shit we agree on something! XDDDD
But yeah, getting serious. This was for me the biggest surprise of 2009 because I was so nervous and I thought this would be even worse than Rosenrot because Pussy was just too fucking horrible. But the rest of the album... Damn, I almost cried because Rammstein is one of my all time favorites and one of the bands that got me into metal so the fact that they found themselves again was too amazing for me.
And B*****... That's the first time I heard Till's voice sounding so... brutal. If I didn't knew any better I would say that he's almost growling on the chorus. Unique performace on that song in particular. It was when I heard that chorus that I realized that they came back with balls of steel this time.
Written by Slayer666 on 28.03.2010 at 21:05
You don't like Pussy? BUCKSTABUUUUUU!!!!
Personally, I think it's a great sing-along. Not particulary intelligent or complex, but quite fun with really inspirational lyrics for me.
It did, however, took me more than a few spins to get into it. I belive this one is..... quite different from the rest of Rammstein's albums somehow.

Well, I Have Trouble With All Parts And Musicians Of This Band.
The Vocals Are So Boring And They Are NOT Suitable For An Industrial Metal.
The Rhythms Are So Old And Repetitive.
The Gesture Of All Members ( Specially The Lead Vocal) Are Ridicules And Unappealing.
Every Body Know That Metal Wants To Be Universal, Therefore They Often Speak English NOT Their National Language (Most Of The Time)!!!
I'd Rather Listen To Deathstars Instead Of Rammstein, And I Suggest You To be More Patient About Comments.

The Pitt Peas travels to the Land of Rock 'n Roll
Just when you thought the Peas was just a Pittsburgh deal…
A beautiful Saturday afternoon, but just one thing was missing. A baseball game. While the roomates along with a group of West Virginia buds and myself played wiffle ball all day Friday, something just didn't seem right. Since the Pirates weren't in town, a three hour trek to the Buckeye State took place.
My buddy Jared has been chomping at the bit to make a game at The Prog this year. While he is a supporter of my Pirates, his role as Indians correspondent is much more appreciated.
It was a beautiful night in C-Land as we entered the outfield gates. Its much more spacious and alive than the outfield at PNC Park. The opening out to the wide green grass of the field is nearly breathtaking, at the very least its a cool site. The most unique thing was the photographer that approached us and asked for a group photo. It was like we were in Disney World in front of Cinderella Castle as he handed me a slip with instructions on how to purchase the cherished photo online. (Editors note: we did not purchase the $17 dollar keepsake.)
The outfield wall led us to a cool little nook that made me quite jealous.
Sort of a knock off of Monument Park in Yankee Stadium, its an Indians version of their own storied history. Two platforms of plaques honor the heritage of the Tribe and the history of Cleveland's greatest baseball players. If Pittsburgh had something like this I could live there. Its a great way to honor the franchise and fans of all ages love it.
Walking through the wide lanes of Progressive Field, also something lacking at PNC Park, I notcied this gem on the back of some guys jersey.
"Its very bad to steal Jabu's rum! Its very bad."
A classic movie and a classic character. Pedro Cerrano was Clevelands Dominican slugger in the movie "Major League" A must see for baseball fans everywhere and my favorite part of the Cleveland Indians.
To honor another dynamic character from Major League the organization is giving out a "Wild Thing" Rick Vaughn bobblehead towards the end of the year. Fans are lining up for tickets already.
For the 23,167 in attendance the game was a downer as the Tribe were pounded by the Twins 7-1. No offensive production is bound to kill you, just as it did for the Tribe last night. The pitching of Twins starter Kevin Slowey was brilliant as he went 8 innings only giving up 4 hits and one earned run. Every fan in attedance recieved a Kerry Wood bobblehead upon entrance to the park, so that kept everyone somewhat cherry. The atmosphere and fan enthusiasm was very similair to PNC Park. The cheering level is the same, the attentiveness is the same and the people actually with butts in the seats are the same. The Tribe do have one thing going for them and thats the elite player. Its been Jason Bay for the Pirates in the last few years and now that hes gone its hard for the fan base to pick one player as THEIR guy. Its no secret who THAT guy is for Cleveland.
I have a feeling that Melissa (the Clemson Girl) will be looking at this photo all night. Grady recieved the most cheers out of any other players. He is the shining star out in centerfield and the shining star in the hearts of teenage girls across the state of Ohio. His eyes may have been scalded by the limelight as he went hitless Saturday night. That scoreboad pic stayed the same the entire night at everyone of his at-bats. Another difference between the Prog and PNC, the variations in the scoreboard pics makes PNC Park unique and keeps the fans innovated. Although,
nobody no girl can complain at looking at that sheepish grin.
Although the Tribe fell on Saturday, Cleveland fans have at least one thing going for them.
They citizens of Cleveland are indeed witnesses. Lebron James is the spectacle of the city. Sorry Grady, Lebron is king of this town. Just look at that gargantuan billboard. Fans from far and wide will tell you Lebron is the resurgance of the city of C-Land.
With the Cavs on the run they are on look out Lakers, Cleveland very well could have quite the easy path to the NBA Finals.
While here I am thinking Lebron will be the most peculiar thing I see around the stadium, I stand corrected by the Walgreens Foul Pole. Walgreens? On a Foul Paul? Odd in my book but without a doubt a good advertising spot. I can't wait to see a ball flirting with the line but the quickly marked fould becuse of W intereferrence.
Although the city of Cleveland is starving for a relevant sports championship it is still a great sports city. I do not support any on their sports teams. As a Steeler fan it is my duty to dissrespect the Browns. I kinda lose respect for the Indians because of the Steeler fans who aren't Pirates fans. (Hello, there is a baseball team in the city of Pittsburgh) and by default I don't really like the Cavaliers. Lebron's cool and all but I might as well follow suit by not liking any Cleveland professional teams. SInce WVU alum Joe Alexander was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks, I've been a fan of that team. Its also another excuse to cheer "Lets Go Buc(k)s!"
The Indians give the city something to cheer about where the other teams have failed to do so. (With the exception of Lebron). The recent success in the past 10+ years gives the city great pride.
The Indians will hope to rebound after quite the dismal start. After avoiding the Minnesota sweep on Sunday they're on the right track. Just hope they have these dates circled….
Cause I surely do. Can't wait to welcome the Tribe to PNC Park for an always thrilling intereleague matchup.

You were right. I loved it! haha A couple things: 1) The Prog- I think not. It will always be the Jake. 2) LeBron shouldn't be the king of the city. Yankees hat? He has issues. And Grady will always be the king of the city to me. 3) Grady's team photos never look as good as action shots. I don't know why but it is always true. That one is better than last year's though. I actually for a long time thought he was ugly because I had only seen his team photo and he looked terrible in it. But you're right that grin is priceless. 4) I saw a Vaughn jersey in the stands on Saturday. I wonder if he came with the Cerrano guy.
I can;t wait to go the Jake this summer. I am going to the Cardinals series. I will be at the Saturday and Sunday games. I am so excited.
Hey, I'm heading out there this summer as well! And Kevin Slowey is awesome, isn't he? Love that guy. Anyways, great post and nice pictures, I see you got a different camera? Or changed the settings on your current one? Nice work man.
Well the Padres lost again today by your team. And you are not welcome for this weekend series🙂
I only PLAY for the Pirates🙂 And thanks man, my sister is really mad right now. You made my day.
Hope everything is working OK here these days! Happy blogging,
1. I can't believe you spent money in t"Worst. State. Ever."
2. You came dangerously close to using that terrible, unspeakable phrase that ohio…people use.
Great idea for a road trip for sports! and
Awesome reference to one of the best movies ever!
I also root for WVU, even though you stole our colors…haha. Props to your Mountaineers for getting picked! Did you have any sign FA contracts the next day? I think 9 Wolverines did…I'll have to check to make sure

Walk the Wallenpaupack Creek
May 10, 2012 —
HAWLEY, PA — The Wallenpaupack Creek Trail (WCT) in Hawley highlights the history of the hydroelectric project constructed in the early 1920s and managed by Pennsylvania Power and Light (PPL) today. Interpretive panels along the footpath highlight the history of the lake and dam.
The public can enjoy an easy hike along the same path where the Wallenpaupack Creek meandered before the dam was built. The WTC connects to the Wallenpaupack Lake Trail, which allows hikers to extend their walk another mile and enjoy expansive views of the popular lake. The trails are mostly a combination of stone, mulch and dirt pathways.
The WTC begins at PPL's Environmental Learning Center near the Wallenpaupack Area High School just off Route 6 in Hawley. The trail is open to the public from dawn to dusk. Animals and vehicles are prohibited.

September is a busy month for me! Not only did I spend Saturday baking for seven straight hours in anticipation of my 30th Birthday Party (more on that soon), but I am also baking for two different events at Word Bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
The first event, "An Evening with Craig Thompson" is this Saturday. Craig Thompson is an incredibly talented graphic novelist who is responsible for some incredible books, including "Good-bye, Chunky Rice and my favorite graphic novel "Blankets". He has just recently completed his first book in about seven years, "Habibi". It's the tale of two refugee child slaves and, as Amazon tells me, "at once contemporary and timeless, "Habibi" gives us a love story of astounding resonance: a parable about our relationship to the natural world, the cultural divide between the first and third worlds, the common heritage of Christianity and Islam, and, most potently, the magic of storytelling."
Tickets for the event are $40 and include a copy of the book. There will be a question and answer session, as well as a cocktail hour in which attendees can meet and mingle with Craig Thompson. This is where I come in. I will be baking two different Middle Eastern cookies for the cocktail hour; Baraziq cookies, which are cookies coated on one side with sesame seeds and on the other with pistachios and Hab el Hal, which are Cardamom cookies.
I understand tickets are going fast, so get yours today!
The second event at Word will be another Largehearted Lit event sponsored by blogger Largehearted Boy. You might remember that I previously baked Doukhobor treats for an event featuring Alina Simone. This time around, the authors are Libba Bray and Steve Brezenoff. Bray is promoting her new book "Beauty Queens" and Brezenoff is promoting his book "Brooklyn, Burning".
For this event, I will be baking vegan Pink Lemonade Cupcakes and (non-vegan) Brooklyn Blackout Cupcakes. This event is free and both books are young adult friendly!
Come on out, check out some great books and eat some goodies!

Andrew Bieber, '13
I am double majoring in German and Economics. Studying German at Albion College gave the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Heidelberg, Germany, where I interned at the German insurance company, Barmer GEK. After graduation, I would like to combine my studies in Economics and German and work in international finance.
Tom Dukes, '13
The classes I took for my German major have been among the most challenging and stimulating that I've had at Albion. But the best part of being a German student for me was the semester I spent studying in Germany: one month at a Goethe Institute doing intensive language training, and five months enrolled at the University of Tübingen. I hope to return to Germany next year with a Fulbright Assistantship to teach English to middle and high school students.
Nathalie Lichtner, '13
I am an International Studies and French Major with a German Minor. I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Grenoble, France and managed to visit my home country, Germany, as well. Currently, I am working at Gross Stabil Corp., which is headquartered in Germany, as their marketing and sales assistant with the potential to eventually use my German at work.
Lisa Palaian '13
I have loved learning German throughout high school and continuing at Albion College. The professors are always available to help out be it academic or personal questions, on campus or abroad. My time abroad helped me to step outside of my comfort zone and build the confidence I need to continue down my education path. After graduation I hope to become a teacher and spread my passion of the German language and culture with high school students.
Charles Siebert, '13
German classes at Albion are thought provoking, challenging, and taught by professors whose passion for the subject has only furthered my fascination with German. I studied off campus in Vienna, Austria. It was certainly one of the greatest learning adventures I have ever had. As I look forward to law school next fall, I will remember class discussions on social issues in Germany, drinking coffee in a Viennese Café, and enjoyable conversations with faculty.
Hana Marie Sietz, '13
I will be graduating with degrees in both Biology and German as well as with a minor in European Area Studies. After graduation I plan on returning to Germany to the city of Aachen to take language courses in order to pass the German Language Proficiency exam (the DSH). I then hope to continue my studies, focusing in the area of nutrition.
Laura Erikson, '12
Studying abroad was by far one of the best parts of being in the language program. I also was able to live in the I-Space, which allowed me to keep experiencing German culture after being abroad. After graduation, I am going to pursue either a job in the communications world in the Michigan/East coast area or perhaps go abroad to Germany.
Nick Long, '12
I have a double major in German and Biochemistry as well as a minor in cell and molecular biology. Hoping to continue to study the German language, culture, history, and politics at Albion College, I was at first concerned with the workload of an additional science major. Deciding to stick with it, I can now say with confidence that it indeed can be done, and that being a German major, with all the programs unique and enjoyable aspects has tremendously enhanced my undergraduate experience. After graduation I plan to obtain a PhD in biochemistry at the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids, MI.
Jonathon Campbell, '11
I'm a major in International Studies with a double minor in German Language and Economics and Management. My most favorite aspect of the German department is that the professors work closely with students and are always available for assistance. As I interview for jobs, I feel that my C.V. stands out from other job-seekers. Every employer, involved in German language related work or not, has been excited about my ability to speak German.
Christine Grahl, '11
My majors are Economics and Management, and German Language and Culture for the Professions. Studying German has given me the opportunity to study abroad and intern for the Germany Sport-horse Registry in Moritzburg, Germany. After graduation, I will become their American contact person, as well as continue my education in equine science and marketing.

Businesses updated on addiction, minimum wage
MONTPELIER Raising the minimum wage and using public dollars to fight opiate addiction are in the best interests of businesspeople.
That was the message Wednesday from House Speaker Shap Smith and Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell at a legislative breakfast sponsored by the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce.
The respective heads of the Vermont House and Senate were on hand to update chamber members on pending legislation, which includes a proposal approved Tuesday by the House General, Housing, and Military Affairs Committee to raise the minimum wage in Vermont to $10.10 beginning Jan. 1, 2015.
Much like earlier discussions around paid sick leave, the proposal to raise the minimum wage has elicited testimony in opposition from a host of business owners who expressed concern the increase would be bad for business. Smith made the opposite argument Wednesday morning.
Some of the biggest demand for public services comes from people who are earning minimum wage, Smith said, citing the public dollars that are spent on food shelves, heating assistance and child care. These are costs that the government is picking up.
Campbell, a Democrat from Windsor County, concurred and said many people are right on the economic cusp, and with an increase in the minimum wage, they would no longer be eligible for benefits.
You are better off paying a higher minimum wage than having us coming back and taxing you in a different way later, Campbell said.
Smith said he expects the minimum wage bill will hit the House floor this session.
While the House plan would raise the minimum wage from the current $8.73 within the year, Gov. Peter Shumlin has called for the increase to be phased in over three years. Campbell said he also supports phasing in the increase in three increments over three years.
That argument did not hold much water for George Malek, president of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce.
I have not heard any business folks feeling relived that they would be protected from further tax increases if a minimum wage went through, Malek said. Whether or not its valid, and to what extent, will depend on their policymaking in the future. But I havent heard any business saying thats the answer to not seeing higher taxes.
Smith and Campbell also supported $10 million in the proposed budget to fight opiate addiction in the state. For Smith, whose wife is a physician who is involved in the treatment of opiate addiction, the problem often begins not on the street corner but in the doctors office.
We have a problem in our society, and that is we overmedicate for pain, Smith said. When you talk to someone with an opiate addiction, the gateway is often prescription pain medication.
Campbell appealed to business owners bottom lines.
As a former police officer and as a businessman, I can tell you that if youre not being robbed, youre seeing an increase in your premiums to treat addiction, Campbell said.

My thoughts:
- Not sure why Dantoni insists on starting Walker. I'd go for Novak against John Salmons at the three so we can spread the floor and get the PnR working early with the bigs.
- Cousins will be a challenge for our bigs to stay out of foul trouble and grab key boards.
- Tyreke Evans is biggest opposing starting PG that Lin has faced in this Linning streak. Nevertheless, the Bulls abused these guys last night with a high PnR without Rose and the opportunity is there to really capitalize on what is the backbone of our offense.
- Looking forward to seeing the D that Shump brings to Evans and Thornton.

How to Make a Stuffed Pork Chop
Watch and learn our test kitchen's techniques on how to stuff a pork chop, either on the bone or butterflied, in this video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine. From our collection of Step by Step cooking videos.
-I'm Diana Sturgis, test kitchen director at Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine. And I'm going to be stuffing pork chops. These two different kinds-- this one is a bone in pork chop. This one is a boneless pork chop. So we'll start with this one. Choosing knife that's very sharp-- make sure your knife is sharp before you start. And I know that I'm not gonna need a knife that's-- has a longer blade in that because it's gonna go towards the bone. So first of all, a nice thick chop, it's nice [unk] make an incision here this way. Can you see? Straight and hit the bone. Good. I'm going to then wiggle the knife this way so I'm making a pocket. And it's halfway between the top and the bottom. Then I'm going to take it out, reverse the blade, wiggle it that way. So the next thing I'm gonna do is put my finger in, wiggle it around and I can get a spoon in there with some stuffing in. Choose whatever side spoon you want. This is a rice mixture with some hoisin sauce and some scallions chopped up and seasoning so this will be flavorful. Just push it in with your fingers, if you're queasy about handling raw meat you can use those disposable plastic gloves, some people do that. I think that's a good amount. But I want to conceal it right in the middle and then pat it down, let me show you. Use your fingers to spread it out evenly. And here we go. It's ready for salt and pepper, ready for the skillet and then the oven. Now this one is a boneless pork chop and I'm going to butterfly it. I use a slightly longer-bladed for this one. And again, it's a nice thick pork chop. It's chilled 'cause it's easy to cut with it's cold. And I'm going to keep the knife blade horizontal to the board. Find out where the halfway mark is. Use this hand as a guide but don't get your thumb involve and doing a slicing sawing motion. What I'm going to do is stop when I get to it in half an inch of the other side. And then you can check your blade and see-- visualize how far you've gone. And that looks good. There's plenty of room to put the stuffing in. It's like a book, like a butterfly. This is the season stuffing. This one we're gonna put plenty of stuffing in. So our starch as well as our flavoring and seasoning and moisturizing addition is going into the pork chop. Flatten it out and we're gonna close it shut. I'm going to secure it with a couple of toothpicks. One here, one here. These toothpicks were kind of long so you can trim them off with the shears, with a scissors so that they'll hold the meet but they're not gonna interfere with it when you put it in the skillet to cook. There we go, it's already to be seasoned salt and pepper each side ready for cooking. And this one here has already been cooked. Isn't that look like a fun pork chop? Stuffed pork chop and it tastes really good. Thank you for watching.

Read it again, with joyJanuary 27,2013
When I was 18, I became friends with a writer who was in his early 30s, and I asked him one day what he was reading.
Actually, he said, Ive gotten to the stage where Ive started rereading.
Oh, dear, I thought, I guess hes run out of books. I felt a little sorry for him, and also alarmed by the notion that maybe there were only enough good books in the world to occupy me for another dozen years or so. Was my friend hinting that there comes a point when were all stuck with reruns?
Now, more than three decades later, I know what he meant. You never run out of good books, but as much fun as it is to discover something new, one of lifes great joys is rereading: going back to a book for the second or third or fifth time, and seeing how it has deepened and expanded since your last visit.
The first time you read Great Expectations, you read for plot. What is going to happen next? Who is Pips mysterious benefactor? Will Estella, the cold-hearted girl he loves, ever soften enough to marry him? How will Dickens weave the many threads together, and what will the carpet look like when he is finished?
The second time you read it, youve already seen the overall pattern of the carpet. You understand that this is a novel about self-delusion. You are aware of Pips flaws as a narrator. You can trust him to tell you what happens, but not when he tries to tell you what it all means. You understand that this is a book about getting things wrong and that in describing so precisely how we get things wrong, Dickens gets it exactly right.
The first time you read Ethan Frome, youre bored. Youre probably 15 and reading the novel in a high school English class. The teacher assigned it because it was short. Snow, ice, and a bunch of crabby New Englanders who dont talk much. To make things worse, it starts with a scene between characters who turn out not to matter, which makes you want to throw the book out the window (the same window through which youll want to toss Madame Bovary, Wuthering Heights, and My Antonia).
But if you pick up Ethan Frome again 20 years later, youll be amazed at how much passion and compassion Edith Wharton was able to pack between the lines of that spare book. Its form perfectly matches its subject; its a taciturn novel about taciturn people, about deep feelings that cant be put into words.
It becomes a different book upon re-reading, once youve lived enough to understand the things that cant be said. As the narrator says in the first chapter before he disappears from the book, The deeper meaning of the story was in the gaps.
The first time you read Middlemarch, most likely in college, you think its a book about other people. You would never steer your life in the wrong direction, like George Eliots sympathetic but misguided characters: Dorothea, who marries a man she thinks is a genius only to learn hes a selfish, suspicious, shriveled-up pedant; Lydgate, the idealistic young doctor who falls for a narcissistic airhead; Fred, who keeps throwing money around even though the girl he desperately loves will marry him only if he stops throwing money around. They all start out with dreams and ambitions; life disappoints them and they disappoint themselves. Poor fools, you think.
When you read the book again say in your 30s you have a somewhat sickening fear that its a book about you. You havent made the same mistakes as George Eliots characters, but youve made different mistakes. Youve had your own disappointments. Career plans that didnt work out. Romantic missteps. Secrets youve kept, with disastrous results; secrets blurted out, equally disastrous. Youre still here, but youre humbler, less lustrous. In short, youve lived.
And the more you go on living, the more prepared you will be to reread Middlemarch yet again. This time you will realize that it isnt a book about other people and it isnt a book about you. Its about all of us. In fact, its the broadest, most dimensional, most dispassionate, and most loving human panorama ever written.
I reread it about a year ago, with a 77-year-old friend who was also rereading. Almost every morning we would call each other to gossip about the inhabitants of Middlemarch, what they were up to and why. George Eliots town had become our town.
Rereading never gets old. The books change because we change. The great books get greater as we understand them better: reading them over and over, and knowing that we will never be finished.

|Native Species:
|Romulan system
Sector Z-6
Alpha Quadrant
|Romulan Star Empire
"Shinzon and his followers will be met with all deliberate force and sent back to that black rock they came from."
Remus was the inhabited third planet of the Romulan system, which was located in Sector Z-6 of the Alpha Quadrant. It was tidally locked to its parent star and the homeworld of the Remans, a humanoid species subject to the Romulans.
The location of Remus in the Milky Way Galaxy was depicted on a Federation star chart in 2293. (TOS: "Balance of Terror", display graphic; DS9: "The Search, Part II"; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, production art; Star Trek Nemesis)
Further information Edit
Geographical Edit
Remus was tidally locked, with one hemisphere always facing its primary while the other always faces away from it. The civilization of the Remans was located on the night side.
Political and historical Edit
Remus and Romulus were the major worlds of the Romulan Star Empire, one of the great powers in the Alpha Quadrant. Remus was an important dilithium source and site of heavy weapons construction. Being forced to work in the dilithium mines, the Remans were regarded as an undesired caste in Romulan society but also had the reputation of being formidable warriors. In 2379, Shinzon, a Human clone imprisoned on Remus, became Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire by a coup d'état involving the murder of almost the entire Romulan Senate. However, Shinzon's subsequent plans to annihilate Earth were thwarted by the Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
In 2387, the Romulan system was devastated by a supernova, completely destroying Romulus. (Star Trek)
Appendices Edit
References Edit
Appearances Edit
- ENT: "The Aenar" (uncertain)
- TNG: "The Defector" (uncertain)
- Star Trek Nemesis
Background information Edit
In Roman mythology, Romulus and his brother Remus were known as the brothers who founded the city of Rome. Romulus became the first king after killing his brother. The relation between the planets of Romulus and Remus reflect this. See Romulus and Remus. This would indicate that Romulus and Remus, along with Romulan, Reman, were names drawn from Earth mythology, not their own terms, which makes sense because the Romulan/Reman languages are different. There is ample precedent, as many peoples on Earth call themselves by different names than those which others use for them.
When it came time for scriptwriter John Logan to pitch his idea for a Star Trek film (which ultimately became Star Trek Nemesis) to Rick Berman, Logan initially spoke about revealing more of Remus than had been seen up to that point. Logan was inspired by the fact that the planet had never been fully shown on-screen before and that very little information had been established about it. Though Berman was at first baffled as to what Remus was, the idea of actually depicting the planet eventually won his approval. "He loved that idea, once he knew what it was," Logan recalled, laughing. "So I'm really proud that I was able to go into the Trek mythology and add a part about what the Romulan Empire is." (Star Trek Monthly issue 99, p. 31)
In "The Aenar", the two Romulan drone-ships are seen departing a planetary body without an atmosphere, with Romulus being visible in the background. It remains unclear whether the scene was supposed to show Remus or merely another asteroid or moon.
In "The Defector", two planetary bodies are shown in the Romulan sky, one of which might be Remus, which would make the other a moon of either Romulus or Remus. Alternatively, both might be moons.
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (pgs. 55, 66), Remus was a Q-class planet. The official name of the uniglobal government was the Reman Colonies. The dominant species were the humanoid Romulans and Remans. Remus was in or near the Romulan War Theater of Operations (2156-60).
Apocrypha Edit
According to the CD-ROM game Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, the "Remmens" are the inhabitants of Remus III and that rebellions in the 2260s were a major problem for the empire.
In some Star Trek novels, Romulus was called ch'Rihan and Remus was ch'Havran. The Romulans are the Rihannsu, and Remus was said to be the more temperate of the two planets.

Obsidian chilling with his morning paper!
Snakes, particularly rattlesnakes, are often maligned and misunderstood. But hold on a minute, any creature that is cultured enough to enjoy the Los Angeles Times should be given a second chance – surely.

text: We are going on vacation starting Saturday (driving) and my son recently started veggies and fruits. I was thinking of making all of his food for the week and packing it in a cooler and taking it with us. Once there, I would freeze it. This would be easier than taking my food processor and making it all there. Do you think the food will stay safe through the drive (about 5 hours)?

A newborn baby has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three. ~Grantly Dick-Read
