Matthews compared Giuliani to JFK, squelched Mitchell's attempt to question Giuliani's ability to withstand scrutiny
Research ››› ››› ROB MORLINO
Chris Matthews continued his practice of praising former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as a strong potential presidential candidate in 2008, comparing him to President John F. Kennedy. And when NBC News chief foreign correspondent Andrea Mitchell attempted to bring up criticism Giuliani received for pushing President Bush to nominate former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik to the post of Homeland Security secretary, Matthews interrupted her and changed the subject.
On the July 16 broadcast of NBC's syndicated Chris Matthews Show, host Chris Matthews continued his practice of praising former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) as a strong potential presidential candidate in 2008, comparing him to President John F. Kennedy. Matthews suggested that both Kennedy and Giuliani "prove[d] themselves in moments that matter" -- Giuliani in responding to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York, and "Kennedy before the Cuban missile crisis." However, as Media Matters for America noted, Giuliani's career as a political figure -- both before and after the 9-11 attacks -- has been marked by numerous controversies and incidents that, at the time they occurred, were considered politically damaging. When NBC News chief foreign correspondent Andrea Mitchell attempted to bring up one such incident -- criticism Giuliani received for pushing President Bush to nominate former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik to the post of Homeland Security secretary -- Matthews interrupted her and changed the subject, calling on New York Times columnist David Brooks to explain whether there will be a "real long-term fight" for the Republican nomination.
Discussing Giuliani's strengths as a potential presidential candidate, Mitchell pointed out that during his brief Senate campaign against then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2000, Giuliani "got himself in trouble on a lot of issues." Matthews replied, "Yeah, but 9-11 changed a lot of that." Mitchell then asserted that Giuliani "might have some problem on the vetting" during a national campaign, despite his much-lauded handling of the 9-11 attacks, at which point Matthews compared Giuliani to Kennedy. Mitchell then pointed out that the Kerik nomination could still be problematic for Giuliani, adding: "I mean, it's a national campaign. It's a different process." As she said this, Matthews interrupted "David, you -- I'm sorry, David, you know the anthropology of the Republican Party pretty well," and proceeded to ask Brooks for his opinion on Giuliani's chances in a potentially crowded Republican primary race.
As Media Matters noted, on December 3, 2004, President Bush announced his intention to nominate Kerik to replace outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge. Giuliani, Kerik's long-time friend and business associate, reportedly urged Bush to nominate Kerik for the position. Kerik was once Giuliani's bodyguard, and Giuliani later appointed him commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction in 1998 and New York City Police Commissioner in 2000. Following his term as mayor, Giuliani employed Kerik at his consulting firm, Giuliani & Partners. On December 10, 2004 -- just one week after Bush's announcement -- Kerik sent a letter to Bush in which he wrote that "moving forward would not be in the best interests of your administration, the Department of Homeland Security or the American people." The White House announced the same day that the president had accepted Kerik's request to withdraw from consideration for the position. According to a December 11, 2004, New York Times article, Kerik's reason for withdrawing was "that a housekeeper and nanny he had once employed was not clearly a legal immigrant and that he had not properly paid taxes on her behalf." However, not long after Kerik submitted his letter, new information surfaced that shed light on his controversial past, and questions arose as to whether the so-called "nanny problem" was given as the reason for withdrawal in order to draw attention away from Kerik's record. Columbia Journalism Review's Campaign Desk weblog (now known as CJR Daily) listed Kerik's alleged misdeeds, including various lawsuits, allegations of corruption, and potential conflicts of interest.
From the July 16 broadcast of NBC's syndicated Chris Matthews Show:
GIULIANI [video clip from August 30, 2004]: Seriously, neither party has a monopoly on virtue. We don't have all the right ideas. They don't have all the wrong ideas. But I do believe there are times in history when our ideas are more necessary and more important and critical. And this is one of those times, when we are facing war and danger.
MATTHEWS: What applause. Welcome back. That was Rudy Giuliani electrifying the Republican convention last time. This week, Bob Novak reported that Rudy has told people that as of now, he's decided to run for president in 2008. He was out this week in Illinois and key battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Arkansas. What do you think? Here's last month's Gallup poll of Republican voters: Rudy Giuliani, 29 percent; John McCain, Number 2 at 24 percent; Newt Gingrich at 8; [Massachusetts Gov. Mitt] Romney and [Senate Majority Leader Bill] Frist [TN] both at 6; [Sen.] George Allen [VA] at 5. Dan Rather, was he really saying at that convention, "You Republicans, maybe I'm not right with you on abortion or on gay marriage, but I'm right with you on security."
RATHER: Exactly. Bull's-eye. And it was the right message at the right time. And it's one reason, I think, he rides at 29 percent in these polls. We all know that the polls go up and down. But Rudy Giuliani, if he's serious about running, I think would have to be taken seriously, and I wouldn't rule out the possibility he could wind up with the nomination. I know all the arguments about abortion and gun control and so forth and so on.
MATTHEWS: Right.
RATHER: But the Republicans -- they want to win, and there is the Hillary Clinton factor of saying, "Listen, she's strong, she's going to have a lot of money. We need a strong candidate, particularly one that can play well in the larger cities of the Northeast." And I wouldn't rule him out as a possibility at all.
MATTHEWS: So --
RATHER: And, the worst he may say to himself, "The worst I can do is be high up on the list for vice president, even if I don't become president."
MATTHEWS: Which is a great prize, if it's McCain.
MITCHELL: But you know --
MATTHEWS: You want to be on that ticket.
RATHER: Exactly.
MATTHEWS: Right.
MITCHELL: -- for about a couple of months in 2000, I covered Giuliani vs. Hillary in the Senate race in New York state. And tough, good candidate, but this was pre 9-11, and he really was not that great at the retail politics, strangely enough. He got himself in trouble on a lot of issues.
MATTHEWS: Yeah.
RATHER: But 9-11 changed a lot of that.
MITCHELL: I think one of the problems - 9-11 did change things -- I think he might have some problem on the vetting. I think that early primary stage --
MATTHEWS: Yeah. But what about Kennedy before the Cuban missile crisis?
MITCHELL: Well, because -- because of Giuliani --
MATTHEWS: I mean, don't some people prove themselves in moments that matter?
MITCHELL: Yes. Plus the Giuliani partners -- remember Bernie Kerik, who he recommended to be homeland security chief, there were some contracts there -- they would have to really be gone through. I mean, it's a national campaign. It's a different process.
MATTHEWS: David, you -- I'm sorry, David, you know the anthropology of the Republican Party pretty well. And if they get out here in the field, and Rudy gives good speeches, and he's up against McCain, who stays healthy, and you've got a cultural conservative like Mitt Romney or somebody out there -- or George Allen, can that be a three-way split? Can that end up being a real long-term fight for a nomination?

Kentucky Welcomes No. 22 LSU for Final Home Weekend
May 3, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Kentucky softball team will conclude regular season action by welcoming No. 22/24 LSU to the UK Softball Complex for a three-game series beginning Friday at 6 p.m. ET. The Wildcats and Tigers will tangle for positioning in the Southeastern Conference tournament after both squads have already secured a spot in the field of eight.
The weekend will highlight a number of events. Saturday's game between the squads slated for a 1 p.m. ET first pitch will be UK's "Strikeout Cancer" day. The Wildcats will wear pink jerseys to represent breast cancer, while LSU will wear teal in honor of ovarian cancer. Admission to the game is $1 for those patrons wearing pink.
Sunday, will mark the final game at home for the 2012 senior class of Macy Allen, Chanda Bell, Brittany Cervantes, Ashleigh Gustafson, Rachel Riley and Erika Silence. The six-member class will be honored prior to first pitch which is set for 1 p.m. on Sunday. Fans should plan to arrive early and celebrate the winningest class in program history.
Kentucky (26-27, 12-13 SEC) secured a spot in the SEC Tournament for the fourth consecutive season following a series win at No. 2 Florida last week. The Wildcats were paced by the senior trio of Bell, Cervantes and Riley. It marked the second consecutive season the Blue and White knocked off the Gators in a series after sweeping Florida in Lexington in 2011.
Bell led the way en route to earning SEC Pitcher of the Week honors after picking up both victories in the Florida series. She worked 14.0 innings and allowed just one run. The right-hander struck out 21 batters, including a season-high 13 in the series-clincher. For the weekend, she struck out 10.5 batters for every one she walked.
Riley batted .500 for the week which included the game-winning bases-clearing double in the series win over Florida. She also pitched UK to a victory in the midweek contest with Morehead State striking out seven and giving up just three hits.
Cervantes led the bats with a .583 week which included hitting what would become the game-winning solo homer in the opening win of the Florida series. With that long ball she became the only UK player in school history to hit 10 or more homers in all four seasons of a career.
Led by first year head coach Beth Torina, the Tigers (34-18) continue to be one of the top teams in the SEC, entering the series at 15-10 in conference play. The Tigers are led by Ashley Langoni at the plate who is batting .297 with 29 RBI. LSU is led in the circle by stud pitcher Rachele Fico who has a nation-leading 0.90 ERA and is 16-9 on the year. The Tigers are fresh off a series loss to No. 15 Georgia. LSU split a midweek doubleheader with Florida and has taken series with Ole Miss, Mississippi State and South Carolina.
Kentucky and LSU have played annually since the 1998 season, with LSU winning every series with the Cats since the inception of the series. Kentucky opened the 2011 series by claiming a win on the road behind a tremendous pitching effort from Ellen Weaver, before the Tigers fired back with wins in the final two days behind the pitching of Brittany Mack.

Since my hair is about the same length as Misa's, I'm thinking about either dying my hair or getting hair spray paint to dye it with. But I need to know which was would be better (dying my hair or using the spray paint for hair). Thanks!:)

structure of claudin-15 at a resolution of 2.4 angstroms; structure reveals a characteristic beta-sheet fold comprising 2 extracellular segments, which is anchored to a transmembrane four-helix bundle by a consensus motif; findings provide insight into molecular basis of ion homeostasis across tight junctions
Claudin-15 knockout leads to Na(+) deficiency and glucose malabsorption in the mouse adult small intestine.
Claudin-15-based formation of tight junctions to organize the microenvironment including ion conductance is important for normal-sized morphogenesis of the small intestine.
This gene encodes a member of the claudin family. Claudins are integral membrane proteins and components of tight junction strands. Tight junction strands serve as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space between epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, and also play critical roles in maintaining cell polarity and signal transductions. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Holmes Writer Heads For Yucatan
Anthony Peckham to develop McQueen idea
Over the summer we learned that Robert Downey Jr's production company had picked up development on a "lost" Steve McQueen film. The project now has a new writer, with Deadline reporting that Anthony Peckham is currently knocking Yucatan into new shapes.
Yucatan was a film that Steve McQueen was actively developing in the late 1960s, but he never got it going before his untimely death in 1980. He filled over 1500 pages in a dozen notebooks, with script notes and storyboards detailing an underwater heist thriller. He'd have played the lead role of "a renegade deep sea salvage expert", hired to uncover a mysterious treasure horde buried deep underwater in the titular Mayan ruins.
Warners have wanted to get the project up and running again since it was unearthed by McQueen's sons in 2005, and as a star vehicle for the post-Iron Man Downey, it looks now to be steaming ahead. With McQueen's script in no workable state, however, it's no surprise that Team Downey have chosen Anthony Peckham to crack it (for a reported seven figure payday). He co-wrote Sherlock Holmes after all, which rather worked out for Downey, but he's also recently scripted Invictus for Clint Eastwood, and he's had a hand in the in-development new Jack Ryan movie, and Deep Sea Cowboys (about the rescue of a capsized cargo ship). So he even has the requisite ocean experience - at least on paper.
Team Downey is producing Yucatan along with Dan Lin. With the screenplay sorted, next they'll need a director...

Pinot Noir wines from the Santa Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County have garnered worldwide acclaim. Now, a wine from this appellation on California's Central Coast will save the lives of a lot of dogs and cats halfway around the world.
Using the motto, "Drink Great Wine, Change the World," winemaker Deborah Hall of Gypsy Canyon Winery is launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise money to support Soi Dog Foundation. The non profit saves the lives of thousands of animals in Southeast Asia every year by keeping them from becoming a part of the dog meat trade.
Starting September 1 (2015), Hall's "Ground Boots" Pinot Noir will be offered on Indiegogo.

BBC3's 9pm offering last night was a troubling watch. Tyger Takes on Porn was the first in the three-part Tyger Takes On... documentary series fronted by Tyger Drew-Honey, the 18-year-old actor who played eldest son Jake in BBC1's hugely popular, long-running sitcom Outnumbered.
We've known him since he was 11, so watching Jake – sorry, Tyger – speak matter of factly about his porn consumption, masturbation habits and sex life felt almost as uncomfortable as watching your own son or little brother do the same. Drew-Honey and his contributors would probably argue that we all just need to relax and talk more openly, but haven't we been talking about porn rather a lot lately?
Only last month, erstwhile T4 presenter Jameela Jamil fronted Porn: What's the Harm?, also on BBC3, and scenes from Channel 4's documentaries Porn on the Brain and Date My Porn Star haunt us still. What's the point of yet another re-tread?
Well, Drew-Honey did have an unusual angle on the topic. As the son of Ben Dover, the UK porn star and producer of such home-grown "classics" as Only Fools and Arses and Sex and the Settee, he grew up with a blasé attitude to the family business. Yet, you'll note, not quite blasé enough to interview adult film actress Brooklyn Blue without stammering. In fact, in the company of any interviewee with real insights – such as MakeLoveNotPorn campaigner Cindy Gallop, or the woman whose boyfriend had developed an interest in rape porn, he seemed woefully out of his depth.
Perhaps that's as it should be. Tyger/Jake's residual innocence, was both the most comforting and the most telling part of his documentary debut, especially since it seemed to come as a shock even to him: "There's like this whole, other dark world of porn and its really scary," he said to camera after one interview. "I really have been scared by it today."Reuse content

Jefferson County commissioners discuss Kelly Canyon Rd. closure
RIRIE, Idaho - Monday afternoon Jefferson County commissioners heard from the Idaho Falls Ski Club and Kelly Canyon Ski Resort regarding access to a stretch of county road.
Kelly Canyon Ski Resort has two gates on Kelly Canyon Rd. The "upper gate," east of the resort, has been up every winter for several years. The stretch of Kelly Canyon Road east of the "upper gate" is closed for the winter by the Caribou-Targhee National Forest Service. The "lower gate" near the resort's parking lot is new this year.
"The arrangement that we've had this year is one that we think works for everyone," said Neil Brown, manager of Kelly Canyon Ski Resort.
The Idaho Falls Ski Club begs to differ. The club uses cross country trails in the canyon, and the new policy has kept the club from leaving its trailer full of maintenance equipment up the canyon.
"We have track setters, we have groomers and other equipment that we pull up and down the trails with a snowmobile," said Donald Rasch, President of the Idaho Falls Ski Club.
Rasch said it's a hassle to bring the trailer to the canyon from Idaho Falls on a regular basis.
Brown said closing the stretch of road beside Kelly Canyon Resort ensures the safety of it's skiers. He also said the resort's insurance company doesn't want equipment that isn't their own on the resort's property.
"We definitely don't want skiers to feel like we're trying to stop them from coming," said Brown.
"We've had a very good working relationship with them for many, many years," said Rasch. "It just seems the insurance thing, right now, is somewhat coming between us."
In the meeting on Monday, commissioners tabled the decision, and stated they would personally go and inspect the area before deciding if the lower gate is okay. Friday, the county told the resort to take the lower gate down, which they did. Monday, though, the commissioners said the resort could leave the gate up unlocked, or take it down altogether until a permanent decision is made.

The same Scientific American issue Nov 1971 as two other personal computer ads
Which ones?
Specific to the SciAm from at or around late 1971:
Olivetti "Super-micro-computer" model P-602. Programs recorded on small magnetic cards, etc.
Hewlett Packard Model 10. A programmable calculator with customized I/O assignments, peripherals available
Granted these are evolutions of the desk calculator, but interface aside you can program these, etc. they're targeted to the home / small business / scientific market. They have memory, etc.
I accept that the Kenbak is different because it's a digital trainer-type computer with switches like a PDP system and provides access to the machine level memory addresses, not a calculator-type like the HP and Olivetti's whose function is more to perform custom math functions. The guts of the systems are all different from each other.
None of these had an ascii keyboard standard. The HP I think had an RS-232 and in theory someone could have used this with a teletype or terminal using the built-in printer port. Did the Kenbak have any ports?
Is the kitch difference between the Kenbak and the HP / Olivetti the fact that it's being sold by a small company and not a large one? I do find the Kenbak historical, very much so, but I believe that it's historical importance is over valued and the others under valued.
Is it all about price? Digital vs. Analog? Not a calculator interface? Toggle switches? Because it looks like a PDP's interface?
I guess you could call the Kenbak a first computer targeted to the home computer/student computer market without a calculator interface built in, and a PDP-type set of toggle switches for less than $1000?

Fabulous Villa in a great location
This was our first villa holiday and as such we were unsure what to expect. However, from the moment we walked through the door we knew this was going to surpass all our previous holidays. The tranquil location, spacious villa and private pool were a recipe for success. The villa was just as described in the listing and was spotlessly clean and well-maintained. We received excellent service from the local agent who called by to check everything was to our satisfaction. Our children (ages 13 & 10) loved the villa so much we had to drag them away for a few days out and meals at the local restaurant. They were happy playing in the pool, playing table tennis and making full use of the wifi! Why be anywhere else? We enjoyed the use of the BBQ and also had everything we needed to cook a few meals at the villa. I have no hesitation in recommending Villa Clara.
Great Villa, Excellent Location
We stayed in the villa in early October for a week. We found the villa to have every thing we needed for a group of 4 adults 3 teenagers and 1 baby. The villa was extremely clean and had all the facilities we needed during our stay. The villa was nice and spacious with plenty of room for all of us. We found the maid service (she lives in the basement) to be excellellent during our stay. In particular the pool area was excellent with plenty of space for all of us. The only thing we would reccomend is to request that the pool is heated. We thought we would be ok without heating but on reflection we should of paid the extra for heating as was a bit cold at times. The location is great with supermarket and resturants within 10 minutes walk and the beach about 15 minutes away. The beach is beautifull with shops and resurants close by.
Also we found the management office who look after the property very helpful and looked after all of our needs.
Great property great location
This was a family holiday with teenagers and adults , it was perfect location for the adults but a little out of the way for the teenagers 15 - 20 euros in taxi to the Old town.
The villa had everything you would expect, and we all had a great holiday and Gale Beach is perfect
We had airport transfers booked through the agent that picked us up and dropped us off on time
we would have appreciated being able to stay in the villa a little longer on departure day as we had booked late flights home , but the agent addressed this and found us somewhere to go for the day
all in all a great time had by all concerned
Great property in a quiet location
We rented the main house and the small apartment below and made use of the barbecue for a 50th birthday celebration. Having our own personal pool was terrific the children spent every opportunity they could playing in the pool. The local supermarket was only five minutes walk which was quite handy, the beach was a bit of a trek for the toddlers but definitely worth a visit. Little to none local transport so we were very reliant on taxis which could accommodate up to 8 people all equipped with convertible child seats. Having 2 washing machines came in handy with children and keeping us in clean towels. Also with so many people a dishwasher was a real asset.
Pros: The welcome basket had an assortments of food and drink, just what you need after settling in. Comfortable clean property situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, great for families of mixed ages and sizes. There was an assortment of local restaurants within walking distance good quality food at reasonable prices. For seafood lovers the 'A Grelha Do Ti-Manel' authentic Portuguese food ate here 3 times. The principal office was about 20 mins walk away where we booked discounted excursions to ZooMarina and a trip to Lisbon. The highlight of our visit was visiting 'Old Town, Albufeira' I would highly recommend a visit here, the view, the atmosphere, winding cobbled streets, pavement cafes and restaurants. A place where when you turn another corner you want to explore more.
Cons: It would have been helpful if someone had met us at the villa and shown us around and how everything worked, after 10 mins of searching in vain I had to ask the maid where the apartment was. Despite being advertised as daily maid service, she only came once during our visit. When you go away as such a large group you do not necessarily want to all do the same activities each day together we were only given 1 set of keys which was quite problematic. On one occasion a male appeared in the middle of the afternoon by our pool without announcing himself or why he was there this was very disturbing especially when you have young children wandering around the grounds. It would of been even more disturbing if someone was sunbathing topless.
Overall we all an enjoyable stay despite the cons which I'm sure the proprietor will take on board, I would recommend this villa as a great place for families, I would definitely go back to Albuferia.
A very spacious property in an quiet location
The property was an excellent size to accommodate a large family or group. We rented the main house and the apartment, travelling as a family group which included 3 mothers who would normally be fighting for kitchen space! There were no such arguments in this property as the main house kitchen was very spacious with an additional kitchen in the apartment. The maid was excellent, she even made our beds on the days she was in if we'd been too lazy to make them ourselves! The local supermarket was about 5 minutes walk away and stocked everything you could need. Next to the supermarket is an excellent cafe selling wonderful cakes and lunchtime snacks at very reasonable prices. They were also open late into the evening if wanting a beer or 2! The local beach was about 20 mins slow walk ( with young children) but well worth a visit. The children loved exploring the small caves and climbing the rocks. If wanting to explore away from the main beach, a short stroll around the rocks and secluded coves can be found. There was also an excellent camouflage themed outdoor smoothie bar along a small cliffe above the beach. It also sold food, which we did not sample but was well worth a visit , my 2 boys thought it was an adventure playground! The principal office was about 20 mins walk away, with a small selection of bars, restaurants and shop, we found the staff in the office very friendly and helpful. We booked a trip to aqualand through them by taxi and found a very prompt and courteous service. This villa was excellent for a relaxing family holiday away from the hustle and bustle of a busy town.This was our first villa holiday and we found every aspect excellent, I have every intention of booking again through Algarve villa holidays next year. Thank you for an excellent holiday, no going back to sharing a hotel pool for me!
Great property, Great service...
Great property with a holiday company that know how to offer great service. Any holiday house is a bit of a gamble and I have done lots. This is one not to worry about. The house is in excellent condition and the garden and the pool (deeper than most pools which was nice) are great. Note for families unlike france you don't have to have a fence around the pool so for young kids please take note (For 3 boys ages 5, 6 and 11 ideal all can swim at least 10 m so not the worry). The daily maids service and pool man were very efficient and did a great job. You can walk to the local beach which is superb along with the restaurants overlooking them (albeit a bit pricey). We went in October so suspect not as busy as the summer which for me is ideal, because this area is set up for holiday makers so I imagine it is very busy in August. Only criticism for me is the area is full of brits (I like to get away and experience somewhere different) and you don't get a feel for the culture. To do this head for the hills and a traditional restaurant on the way west from Monchique which is great value and superb food. Also for body boarding and stunning natural beaches head to the west coast (need a car). The holiday company were great and people arrived the following day to check we had everything we needed. Would definately book again for the house and the sun.
Activity and Interests
This villa is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, off the road to the ' Blue Flag' beaches of Galé. The beaches are only 1km so within easy walking distance. There are lovely rural views to the rear of the property. There are several good restaurants within walking distance, with two, just at the end of the road. One of these is a very popular fish restaurant. The property is totally enclosed by a wall and gates. There is a mosaic tiled swimming pool 9m x 4.5m with steps, which is surrounded by terraces with a BBQ and shower in the pool area. Albufeira town with its interesting Old Town and music bars, and the marina are 6 km away, around 10 minutes drive. Guia town is 5km and is famous for many good value restaurants many specialising in chicken piri piri. The nearest supermarket is 300m.

Skirt Steak Burgers with Tomatillo-Corn Relish
Guillermo Pernot of ¡Pasión! in Philadelphia (an F&W Best New Chef 1998) learned the best way to cook beef burgers in his native Argentina. He uses freshly ground meat and grills it only until it is cooked to medium rare.
Slideshow:All-Time Favorite Burgers
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels (from 5 ears)
- 5 tomatillos (3/4 pound), husked and finely chopped
- 3 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
- Salt
- 3 pounds skirt steak, cut into 1/4-inch dice and chilled
- Freshly ground pepper
- 3 ounces creamy blue cheese, such as Cabrales
- 6 sourdough rolls, split and lightly toasted
How to make this recipe
In a large saucepan, combine the corn, tomatillos, jalapeños, vinegar, onion, bell pepper, sugar and the mustard, celery and coriander seeds. Bring to a boil; simmer over moderate heat until thickened, 40 minutes. Let cool and season with salt.
Light a grill. Working in small batches, put a handful of diced skirt steak in a food processor and pulse about 4 times, until very finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the remaining skirt steak. Pat the mixture into 6 burgers.
Season the burgers with salt and pepper and grill over a hot fire until medium rare, 3 minutes per side. About 1 minute before the burgers are done, place the blue cheese neatly on top of them. Set a burger on the bottom half of each roll, spoon some relish onto each, close the sandwiches and serve.
Make Ahead
The cooked and cooled tomatillo-corn relish can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Well I f'd that all uphttp://wramsite.com/m/blogpost?id=35...Post%3A1514136
Anybody know if there's any truth to this?
I am not saying this couldnt happen, I just need more proof than that....
I see no difference between veterans and non-veterans in terms of their fundamental rights as protected by the Bill of Rights and would be just as incensed if either group were denied their rights without due process.
Ya kinda on the same page as you guys. Keep hearing it like a friend of a friend got a letter etc.
I'm sure this is the same story I read yesterday at another forum,been happening a while but it's back in the light.Vets are still under the thumb of Uncle Sam if they want to continue getting their well deserved benefits,but you can bet your ass they will be screwed with.My father in law sued and won a boatload under a full mental case (but he can still vote?) and loves OBozo,but when this kind of stuff comes up he calls BS.The problem is is he was career for life,those that don't get that high a position get less benefits and more runaround.In one sentance he'll say that but doesn't acknowledge the crap that goes on to those below him.I've yet to ask him if he idolizes Hitler and Stallin too,but being a posterboy for Libs I wouldn't doubt it.
I'm sorry, does any vet actually believe the our government and the VA really have the best interests of Vets in mind? It is the cruelest joke played on anyone that is seriously injured while protecting their country.
The young men and women that serve are only useful to the service and the country while they are capable of carrying out their duties. Once those duties have damaged the individual to the point they are no longer an asset, they are merely discarded in the same manner we discard a worn-out pair of shoes.
I know several that have returned and are pretty FUBARed, and basically told to get on with their life. This is especially apparent in reservists, who once released from activity duty status loose 90% of any help a regular enlistee might receive.
I am a Vet, and I am even hesitant to enter the VA to visit someone, and would never never place myself under their care. I know many don't have that option, and circumstance doesn't allow them to choose.

An Undersea Place to Call Home! (海底の城!クズモーとドラミドロ!! Undersea Castle! Skrelp and Dragalge!!) is the 2nd episode of Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest. It was initially supposed be the 24th episode of Pokémon the Series: XY, but was delayed until the next season due to a ship sinking in Korea.
After encountering the Mock Kelp Pokémon, Skrelp on the Murail coastline, Ash and his friends join two marine archaeologists on an expedition to the sunken luxury liner known as the Cussler where Skrelp, Dragalge, and several marine Pokémon live. However, Team Rocket has their sights set on capturing all of the Pokémon that call the Cussler home.
Episode Plot
As the heroes continue their journey, after having lunch, Ash goes to train his Froakie. Serena advises to go fishing instead, since they are rarely at a beach to fish. Clemont thinks Ash will benefit with having an additional Water-type Pokémon. The heroes fish and soon Ash already has a bite. He pulls out the catch, but the heroes are disappointed, for it is just kelp. However, a thing moves between it, attacking Ash. Ash pushes it away, while Bonnie applies a bandage to the Pokémon, seeing it hurt. The Pokémon, Skrelp, dives in and uses Mud Shot on the heroes, who hide behind a rock. Pikachu tries to reason with Skrelp, who attacks him and poisons Pikachu. The heroes are terrified and run to the Pokémon Center to heal Pikachu.
Two people ride a car and stop, seeing Pikachu poisoned. The woman heals Pikachu, pleasing him and Ash for the recovery. The heroes introduce themselves, while the couple are Eddy and Lindsey, who are here for marine archeology research. They point at the ocean, reporting a ship called the "S.S. Cussler" sunk a long time ago, for it crashed into an ice berg and sunk down. However, they believe, due to sea currents, the ship moved near this coast, so they want to explore it a bit. The heroes are interested and want to explore as well. The couple accept their help, but ask of them to follow each order, as it is dangerous. Team Rocket overheard every word and plan on taking the treasures of the Cussler to fund Team Rocket.
The heroes watch from a boat as the currents suddenly stop. Eddy tells them sometimes the currents suddenly stop and won't appear for a while. Lindsey presents the submarines, but everyone is interested to dive in. Clemont's eyeglasses flash, as he prepares a new machine to decide who will enter. They each place their stamp on the machine, which turns on. The cursors move to the finish line, but Ash's and Serena's stamp moved to the correct position, so Clemont and Bonnie lost. Ash and Serena enter the submarine, along with Lindsey, and dive in. Ash and Serena are amazed by the amount of Water Pokémon and notice a bunch of Skrelp, along with the one with the bandage.
Suddenly, the submarine is swept by the sea current, along with a shipwreck. Lindsey navigates the submarine to safety, though Ash and Serena notice the Skrelp follow the shipwreck. They soon reach the remains of the ship, the Cussler. The shipwreck falls down and Ash notices some Dragalge, who spit Acid to merge the shipwreck with the Cussler, trying to create a big complex as a habitat for everyone. Some Water-type Pokémon come out and celebrate with Skrelp and Dragalge. Suddenly, they notice some light in the distance. They come to it and see Team Rocket's submarine going inside the complex. Team Rocket come inside the complex, intending to find the treasure. The submarine emerges, along with some Skrelp and Dragalge, who spit Acid on Ash and Serena.
The Skrelp with the bandage stops the attacks, as they helped it, so it leads everyone to find Team Rocket, who are doing something. The heroes and the Pokémon come, busting Team Rocket on the spot. Jessie activates a button, which starts the engine, which will soon be split from the complex. The smoke distracts Ash, Serena and Lindsey, allowing Team Rocket to escape. Ash sends Froakie to follow Skrelp, while he, Lindsey, and Serena go to the submarine. Team Rocket are to take the vault via their submarine, but the Skrelp comes and uses Mud Shot on their submarine. Froakie also comes, distracting them. Lindsey fears the blast made by Team Rocket will cause the complex to be ruined. Ash asks the Dragalge to prevent that, who call every Pokémon around.
Team Rocket's submarine throws Froakie away and dives up. The Pokémon push the complex and manage to push it a bit. Lindsey's submarine picks up a plate and places it on the hole where the vault was. The Dragalge use Acid, merging the plate to the ship so it does not get flooded anymore. Eddy is pleased everyone is safe, but warns them the sea currents will appear soon. Team Rocket came out and are happy their plan was a success. However, the sea currents appear, causing their submarine to spin and blast off, while they drop the vault. Skrelp and Froakie are engulfed by the current. They jump on the trash of the shipwreck to come to Ash. Froakie and Skrelp make a big leap, managing to come to the submarine.
Later, the heroes bid farewell to Skrelp and Dragalge, who dive in the sea. Eddy and Lindsey report they managed to find the location of the Cussler. Bonnie and Clemont are impressed by Froakie's leaping, giving Ash a new idea. Meanwhile, the treasures of the vault lie deep on the ocean floor.
- "We dropped the safe!" - Jessie
- "But if figures." - James
- "The second we dropped it lingers." - Meowth
- "Who's that Pokémon?": Skrelp (US)
- "Pokémon Quiz": Skrelp (JP)
- This episode was postponed from its original airdate of April 24th following the sinking of the MV Sewol in Korea.
- Despite this, a preview of this episode was still aired after Going for the Gold! and on April 20th's Pokémon Sunday before the decision to postpone the episode was made. The episodes that were originally going to be broadcast the weeks after the episode's air date were all aired one week prior to their original air date.
- Due to this, this episode uses Be a Hero as its theme song instead of Pokémon Theme (Version XY) in the dub. The Japanese version of the episode was edited to use Mega V (Mega Volt) and DreamDream as the opening and ending themes instead of V (Volt) and X Strait Y Scenery, which were used in the original version of the episode before being postponed.
- The Japanese version uses Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal as the post-episode segment instead of the Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster segment that was going to be used in the original episode due to the time of its actual airing.
- This episode first aired on August 8, 2014 in South Korea, thus making it the very first episode to make its first airing outside of Japan.
- The Cussler, which sunk after being hit by an iceberg, is a reference to the Titanic.

|Home > Opinion > Article
Australian mothers work guiltily, believing they fail their families and their boss. Like drug users, they are hoping they will be allowed to keep sinning, just so long as they keep out of the way.
It is also a big secret; 70 per cent of Australian mothers work, more often in families at the lower end of the income scale than in the middle. But many of us appear to believe that does not make it right.
The attitude seems to be that if mothers wish to return to work a few weeks after birth to pay the rent, with the perceived risk to their health and their baby's happiness that this entails, then that is the price of sin; the rest of us should not be expected to reward this.
Part-time work solves part of the time problem and part of the finance problem. For those of us who hovered over our baby's cots for the first three months, impressed when we managed to get from a nightie into a tracksuit, the thought of squeezing back into a uniform two weeks after the birth, even for a few days each week, is light years away.
The Australian Hotels Association estimates that just about all its staff are back at work by the time their baby is 12 weeks old. This underscores how part-time work is no protection against early return to work. But perhaps you pull beers in a pub with a six-week-old at home for career development.
Australia's apparent disapproval of working motherhood is reflected in government programs at both state and federal levels and from successive governments. With the exception of child care, which makes up a mere 12 per cent of Federal Government spending on families, there is no assistance for those adaptive women who want work and family - and in particular those who want to stay home with their own babies.
The absence of any mention of the need to support work and family better in this year's federal budget or the Federal Opposition's budget reply, the relegation of the needs of the newborn to the unmentionables list, confirms that the community has not made clear to its elected representatives that this issue must be given priority.
That can change. Australian families, grandparents and all those who witness the mayhem and rush of modern family life can get on the case. Working mothers can hold their heads up. They need not be secret sinners any longer. Parliamentarians want and need to hear from their voters.
Employers might also have cause to join the Australian Industry Group, the Australian Recruitment Industry Association, the Council of Small Business Associations, the Australian Retailers Association and the Australian Hotels Association (among others) and take up the cudgels for a government-funded paid maternity leave scheme.
The ACTU has patiently waited for the Federal Government to consider the options for a nationally funded scheme. The United States and Australia remain the only two OECD countries without one. The ACTU has clearly run out of patience and has announced its intention to proceed with a test case, with all the attendant costs and risks to business, in particular small business.
They are costs and risks my discussion paper addressed very directly when it advised the Federal Government against introducing nationally mandated employer funding of maternity leave. At the moment, however, it appears to be the only option and I understand that many women now believe they have no choice but to support it.
Yes, the debate over the past 12 months has been, in the Prime Minister's phrase, a "barbecue stopper". It is hard to think of another public policy proposal that has engaged the community so comprehensively, despite its modest $213 million-a-year price tag. Hard to think of another issue where the minimum, not the maximum, was demanded. Hard to think of another debate where the facts were on the table and the price tag clearly was not a problem.
This issue will continue to be a barbecue stopper so long as Australian mothers go back to work with very young babies while mothers in other countries do not.
It is time to turn up the heat on the barbecue. The secret's out.

It is with great sadness that I report SCandynavian, our mildly loved Scandinavian candy store has closed. I walked past it today and noticed that the lights were off and all the candy had been removed from the bins. There was no techno, no strawberry race cars that taste like plastic, no sour apple frogs that do not taste like frogs. There was no sign saying that they had moved locations. So I bid them adjö and uh, however you say "good luck" in Swedish. I think it's buena suerte. Yeah pretty sure it's that.
But fret not NYC friends, if you want Scandinavian candy, might I suggest heading to Sockerbit (located in the Village of the West), which is another Swedish candy store. Yeah I know, right? Why there was more than one Scandinavian candy store in NYC, I don't even know. Of course, you can go to IKEA and get candy there.
Speaking of IKEA, I totally went there yesterday and bought $100 of crap that I obviously needed so badly, like the hand towel with the ping pong paddles on them. I mean how am I not gonna buy that? I don't even like ping pong, but I definitely needed it or else the the hand towel with the wacky puffer fish on it would feel so lonely. Hand towels always travel in pairs because if you're lucky, you have two hands, so obviously you need two hand towels. I also totally needed the bath mat that is too big for my bathroom floor.

Graves County High School has a new athletic director.
Khristian Elliott accepted the position Wednesday morning, forcing him to leave his job as head baseball coach. Former athletic director Doug Gloyd resigned in late April, Superintendent Kim Harrison said.
The baseball team went 24-8 this season, finishing with an 8-0 First Region tournament first-round loss to St. Mary. Elliott went 196-123 (.614 winning percentage) in 10 seasons, taking the Eagles to eight First Region tournaments and two First Region championship appearances.
Elliott said he interviewed for the position Monday and was offered the job Tuesday.
Because it's a full-time job, Elliott won't be able to continue his baseball coaching or his work as a social studies teacher. He said no longer being able to coach will be difficult.
"I was close with a lot of the guys since they were in seventh grade," Elliott said. "I debated about this a lot and prayed and spent a lot of time thinking about it."
He said a daily devotional on his phone which told him not to fear change provided confirmation that he should accept the position.
Two of his first tasks will be helping to hire a baseball coach and replacing Terry Birdsong, who resigned as the head boys basketball coach and took the boys basketball coaching position at Calloway County.
The basketball team is in the midst of voluntary summer practices, which the assistant coaches have been running. Elliott said their talent leaves him in no hurry to hire a coach.
"There's no 'might' in them being able to handle it," Elliott said. "We have one of the best coaching staffs in the state of Kentucky. We're going to hire the right person. If that person is hired quickly, so be it."
