By Cassandra VanKeuren Special to The Herald
Often I am out and about with my son and wonder where I can get good and affordable food during our trips to places like the pool or the park.
This summer I decided to research local kid-friendly restaurants so I could be ready when my son asks: "What's for lunch?"
The first place I wanted to find was something close to what I consider my second backyard: Forest Park in Everett. I found two restaurant picks nearby.
My first was Teriyaki and Burger Stop.
Honestly, I kinda thought this place was like every other teriyaki place in Everett. But what caught my eye is that it's always busy and it has a drive-thru.
The day I visited I was thoroughly impressed by how clean it was.
Burger Stop has an extensive menu and is super affordable. Of course, they have teriyaki and they have burgers, but what I really loved were some of their mash-ups.
The spicy teriyaki chicken burger ($1.69) was my favorite. It had grilled teriyaki chicken, grilled onions, mayo and spicy garlic chili sauce. Amazingly tasty.
They also have a teriyaki chicken burger that is, without the spice, $1.59. For that price you could feed a whole car full of kids for under $15!
Also on my visit I had the chicken teriyaki special ($5.95). That had a huge portion of chicken, rice and iceberg salad. I loved that the sauce was not too sweet.
Please note that they dress the salad with ranch dressing. If your kid has a dressing phobia like my son, you will have to request that it be left off.
Overall: The Burger Stop has loads of items including burgers and fries for super cheap that will please even the pickiest kids.
My other pick is a sit-down restaurant, Beijing Garden.
The reason that I recommend this place is their outstanding lunch menu. I have often visited here with friends with kids in tow. Most everything on the lunch menu is $5.50. I love that they don't skimp on the veggies either.
My son's favorite thing is the sweet and sour chicken ($5.50) and my standby is black bean sauce chicken ($5.50). Both come with soup.
The Lynnwood Pool is a favorite summertime stop for us. By the time we wait in line, swim and get dried off, we are famished. I found a great place right near the pool, Dave's Burgers.
Whether you want to treat the kiddos to a milkshake or feed them lunch, Dave's Burgers provides.
The kids' menu is your typical kid fare, corn dogs and chicken strips, all served with fries and a soda for $3.50. I liked the option of grilled cheese, my son's favorite.
Dave's milkshakes are lovely and thick. With 30 different flavors you will have a tough time choosing. On my visit, I chose strawberry. Strawberry is my test to see if they use real fruit and they most certainly do.
My other favorite thing is that Dave's is both a walkup restaurant and a drive-thru. Perfect if you have kids with wet heads.
In Marysville, near the library and at Jennings Memorial Park, it's a bit tough to find a great place to take kids. But I did track down AJ's Burgers.
This is such a cute place. The decor is fun with Polaroids of employees decorating the walls and great art.
The menu is mostly burgers and shakes, but they do have some healthier wraps and some fried seafood on the menu. Everyone is friendly and very attentive.
The kids' menu runs at $4.99 for a meal and the kiddos can order burgers, corn dogs, chicken strips or grilled cheese. That comes with a small fry and small soda. AJ's also has an extensive milkshake selection.
On my visit I ordered the special Anaheim chili burger with fries and a root beer milkshake ($10.50). The burger was huge and was made with a hand-formed patty, mild chilies, Monterey jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo.
The burger was perfect, the fries were done well and the milkshake also was a hit. I was really impressed with the freshness and neatness of everything. A really great place to fill up the kids and to satisfy your milkshake and burger cravings.
If Mom is in need of a pick-up, head right next door from AJ's to Vinaccio Coffee. The coffee is free trade and roasted on site. As an added bonus the kids' drink menu is just $1.
In Arlington, after you and your kids are done at the Absolute Air Park, you can head to the super family friendly Pedeltweezers Chinese &Pizza. I say super family friendly because the owners have their kids in the back hanging out, play kid tunes and the paint is definitely kid inspired.
I went for lunch and ordered Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice and hot and sour soup. All was tasty and was a great value.
For the kids, I recommend sharing a lunch special because the portions are so big. Try barbecue pork chow mein (my son's pick) or beef with broccoli.
I did not try the pizza. They only sell whole pies. But rest assured that I will be back to take home a pizza. How could you not with names like Genghis Khan and The Forbidden City?
Near the Imagine Children's Museum in Everett is Kama'aina Grindz. It's not the place someone would think of for kid-friendly dining but they have a great kids' menu.
My son's favorite at Kama'aina Grind is the Crispy Panko Chicken served with steamed rice and edamame ($6). Big points from me for serving my kiddo a veggie that he loves.
Also on the kids' menu is Miso Ramen ($5); Huli Huli chicken quesadilla ($6); and mini spam musubi ($3), which is crisp spam wrapped in rice and then wrapped in seaweed. Think spam sushi. Crazy but tasty.
My son loves this place and I am happy because there is plenty on the menu that is amazing.
If you visit the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, stop by the Compass Cafe adjoining the museum. You will not be disappointed. The cafe has at least a half dozen freshly made salads, lots of paninis and the best mac and cheese my son's ever had. This place was such a happy surprise. I would definitely go back for the salads alone.
We all know what it is like to have hungry kiddos. These places should be great options if you did not bring lunch or are sick of PBJ sandwiches on every outing.
Share with us in the comments if you have some great kid friendly places for eating out. Here's hoping you have a great summer and happy kids with full bellies.

Talks have reportedly faltered between the union representing more than 600 clerical workers at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles and their employers, heightening concerns of a potential shutdown of the nation's busiest seaport complex.
The Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Employers Association, which represents shipping agencies and terminal operators in Southern California, said in a statement Tuesday that the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 Office Clerical Unit has halted talks that have been going on for more than 30 months.
"After weeks of negotiations during which the harbor employers believed that progress had been made towards new collective bargaining agreements with the OCU, the OCU has reversed course and once again called an end to negotiations in a move signaling that further OCU-initiated disruption in the LA/Long Beach ports is likely," according to the association.
"The OCU broke off negotiations after backing out of an agreement that provided a framework for resolving the parties' dispute over staffing issues, presenting a series of regressive demands that only served to widen the gap between the parties, and rejecting the harbor employers' latest - and most generous - proposals to date."
Association negotiators couldn't be reached for further comment Tuesday.
Craig Merrilees, communications director for the union, said he hasn't heard of people walking away from the negotiating table.
"The truth is, both sides have been working hard to try to reach an agreement, but if only one of the parties is serious about trying to reach a compromise, then it's very hard to reach an agreement," he said. "Employers need to be willing to reach a settlement. If not, people are going to get frustrated. ... The union has been at this for more than 30 months and very much wants to reach an agreement."
Members of Local 63, who have worked without a contract since the previous one expired in July 2010, have expressed concern about the implementation of new booking information technology that could prompt employers to outsource jobs. That technology is already being used at other ports.
"These big international companies are guests at the ports of LA and LB that are owned by and for the benefit of the people in the community," Merrilees said. "Some of these big companies have decided that they're going to start outsourcing the good jobs that have been essential to the surrounding port communities.
"Somebody's got to draw a line at some point. It shouldn't surprise people that at a certain point we're going to stand up to the bully and call them out on this scheme to outsource good jobs."
The Harbor Employers Association said that it has proposed "absolute job security," guaranteed full-time pay, wage increases and a one-time $3,000 payment to each permanent employee to cover missed pay hikes in 2010 and 2011.
The proposal also calls for pension raises for the next two years and maintaining pension benefits for the following two years.
In terms of staffing and technology, employers are agreeing to give up full control over whether and when temporary employees are called in to work.
But the union is demanding that employers hire additional, unnecessary employees and is insisting on stronger restraints on the implementation and use of technology, after agreeing to back down on those demands, the employers group said.
"These demands are difficult to grasp in the midst of a struggling economy that continues to have a severe impact on the container shipping industry and Los Angeles/Long Beach harbor community, where unemployment in Los Angeles County totaled 10.5 percent in October 2012," according to a statement by the association. "The OCU's actions reinforce perceptions held by shippers, retailers and other trade partners across the globe that the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are being held hostage by union self-interest - in this case, the interests of 600 office clerks."
Merrilees said that all parties agree that talks have generated many parts of a fair agreement but added that employers can't deny their role in destroying jobs at other ports.
"The jobs that supported so many harbor families in the community could go up in smoke," he said. "These are big international companies and they are behaving like bullies and they think they can outsource jobs to lower wage countries."
Clerical workers have already picketed twice at individual terminals. Each time, an arbitrator has ruled that longshore workers couldn't participate in the walkouts.
But a higher-level West Coast arbitrator earlier this year sided with the ILWU, saying that dockworkers can now honor the clerical workers' picket lines without violating their contracts.
Both sides may consider other options should an impasse occur, including mediation, but a decision to picket could mean a portwide shutdown. The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles are an essential part of the U.S. economy, handling 40 percent of the nation's imports.
"A strike is always a possibility if companies aren't willing to address the concerns ... of outsourcing good jobs," Merrilees said. "Nobody ever takes talk of a strike lightly, and it's always the last resort. At a certain point, there are times when a community has to take a stand against corporate greed."

Bryan Fischer continues to deliver declarations from the bizarro world he lives in, where up is down and black is white. After Paul Ryan said he supported the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would forbid discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, Fischer says this would destroy religious liberty and bring back the Jim Crow laws.
If ENDA goes into effect, no Christian employer could ever make a values-based personnel decision again. If a man wearing a dress, stilettos, and dangly earrings came into his Christian bookstore looking for a job and didn't get one, the owner would be subject to a gigantic, business-ending discrimination lawsuit.
There is no reason to think that the homosexual lobby would not deliberately select values-driven businesses, and then send flamboyant homosexuals in to apply for advertised vacancies, just so they could use this law as a bludgeon to further pummel Christians into becoming the newest minority utterly deprived of their civil rights.
In fact, ENDA would represent the return of Jim Crow laws. Only now the people victimized would not be victimized based on the color of their skin but on the content of their character.
Nonsense. The Jim Crow laws are what prompted the passage of the Civil Rights Act, which already forbids employers from discriminating on the basis of race, religion, gender, and other things. ENDA would only add sexual orientation and gender identity to that list. If doing so turns Christians into "the newest minority utterly deprived of their civil rights," then they are already deprived of those rights. A "values-driven business" can't refuse to hire a Muslim or an atheist, or a woman, or a black person, even if their religious beliefs say that they must. So their rights, by Fischer's premise, are already destroyed.
As I've said many times, if they really believed this they would be pushing to allow businesses to discriminate on the basis of religion. But they're not. Because they're engaged in special pleading.

The Reader
Sylvia Shaw Judson (American, 1897-1978)
The Reader, 1946/1961
(Variant title: Boy Reading, source: "For Gardens and Other Places; The Sculpture of Sylvia Shaw Judson," by Sylvia Shaw Judson)
24 ½ x 17 ½ x 18 in.
Gift of the Marjorie and Richard Ettlinger and Laurie and Alan Reinstien families in memory of Viola and Lawrence Stein and Ruth and Bernard Nath
Sylvia Shaw Judson grew up in Lake Forest and was the daughter of well-known architect Howard Van Doren Shaw and the poet Frances (Wells) Shaw. Judson studied at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago on and off between 1915 and 1918 and later in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. Her works have been exhibited in museums, at Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition (1933), and at the New York World's Fair (1939). Shaw's work can be found in the collection of the White House, in the offices of the President of the Philippines, and at the Massachusetts State House.
Sylvia Shaw Judson received much posthumous attention in the late 1990s when her Bird Girl sculpture (1938) appeared on the cover of the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," by John Berendt. The sculpture also appeared in the opening scene of the movie with the same title.
The Reader is the first sculpture patrons approach when entering the Library. It is one of the most familiar and loved works of art in the Library, and a magnet to the younger set of library users.

Futures is proud to announce the release of the new Dave Rastovich Quad for 2012. This release marks the second signature release from Dave, following his Sea Shepard Keel twin-fin from 2010, and expands our ever-growing range of non-thruster sets, further evolving our team's experiences.
Rasta, as he's affectionately known, hails from the Gold Coast of Australia, but now spends most of his time an hour south, surfing the points around Byron Bay. He spent the better part of 2011 fine-tuning his new fins on trips to Indo, Tahiti and at home in Oz.
"To me personally, they feel perfect. I'm stoked to have a set like this with the flex, the outline and the materials that make it a really alive, sparky set of quads. The template we came up with is of course a hybrid of designs, influenced by other fins that are out there in the world. I wanted something that had a little less tip and a bit more upright and had a little more flex in some ways."
The Rasta Quad features a layer of Bamboo at the base of the fin, and a very Rasta-esque geometric pattern graphic.
"Incorporating bamboo into the base of the fin is a really good feeling. It's stiffened it up, but the tip still has a bit of twang. Which is a good balance." Dave also provided the artwork, "I love sacred geometry and patterns. The pattern that is on the fin is just one of those. It's a linked up pattern, and just like with the fin and how we designed it, it's interconnected, will all other fins done before it, because they all influence each other."
A percentage of the proceeds from sale of the Rasta Quad will be given to Dave's foundation Surfers For Cetaceans, in support of his passion for the ocean and its inhabitants.

The University at Buffalo is betting on an emerging field to
boost private industry and economic development in Buffalo
Inside an Amherst laboratory, researchers are figuring out how to build a smarter window.
They're working on a window coating that reflects heat from the sun during the summer but lets the heat through during cold winter months.
"In a place like Las Vegas, Phoenix or even New York City, this kind of technology could save you a whole lot of money," explained Sarbajit Banerjee, lead researcher on the University at Buffalo project. "The research my students and I are doing is bringing us closer to the day when these kinds of smart windows become a reality."
Welcome to the world of materials science.
It's an emerging field of study that uses science and engineering to develop new or modified materials to make better products that people use every day.
And you're going to be hearing a lot more about it.
UB is zeroing in on this area of research as another opportunity for academia to boost private industry and economic development in the Buffalo Niagara region.
So, you may hear about research to develop cheaper, more efficient solar cells.
Or a less toxic coating to rustproof steel.
Or an implantable sensor to detect glucose levels.
Or military cloaking devices to make objects appear invisible.
Or a better way to purify water.
Or a better endoscopic lens to detect cancer.
And more.
Last year, lawmakers in Albany got the ball rolling by designating UB as home to a new State Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics and providing $200,000 in start-up money.
This year, UB is asking the state for a lot more: $50 million to build a facility for materials research, along with $1 million a year in funding.
Neither showed up in the governor's budget proposal last week, but UB has been working with the local state delegation on the request.
UB President Satish K. Tripathi met with the delegation earlier this month to let them know there's no bigger priority on UB's wish list this year.
They will continue to pursue the $50 million during the budget process.
"We will certainly do everything we can to move ahead with this," said Assemblyman Robin L. Schimminger, D-Kenmore, chairman of the Assembly's Economic Development Committee.
It might be possible to build the new materials center with money from the special $1 billion funding pot designated last year by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for job creation in the Buffalo region.
But to justify that, officials said, the research facility would need to include a strong industry partner that would immediately add jobs.
Location is also undetermined. Maybe the center would go downtown, Tripathi said, maybe on the North Campus in Amherst.
"We recognize that it's UB's top priority," said Schimminger, chairman of the Assembly's Economic Development Committee, "and I know among the Buffalo-area leadership, there's a recognition that moving ahead with this new center is important."
Why all the interest?
For one, materials science is hot.
The federal government, for example, is trying to speed up the time between the discovery and commercialization of new types of materials. The urgency is driven, in part, by concerns over the shortage of key minerals used in new technologies such as smartphones, flat screens and hybrid car batteries.
UB made a strategic decision several years ago to specialize in this branch of nanoresearch, and through a number of faculty hires, it has built up a core of more than 40 scientists with expertise in the area.
More hires are on the way.
Some of those researchers are working on creating new materials to replicate these "rare-earth elements" that are in such high demand, said Alexander N. Cartwright, vice president for research and economic development at UB.
Others, he said, are looking at how existing materials can be used in new ways.
In Banerjee's case, that means a better, more energy-efficient window.
The work by Banerjee – a UB chemist who was named one of the world's top innovators under the age of 35 by Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Technology Review magazine – involves a synthetic material called vanadium oxide, which undergoes a transition at certain temperatures.
"As it transforms from one form to the other, the material goes from being an insulator, which lets in infrared radiation, to a metal, which blocks infrared radiation," Banerjee explained during his recent presentation at MIT.
As a result, Banerjee and his graduate student researchers have figured out that by making vanadium oxide very, very small, they can manipulate its trigger temperature and use that to develop a compound to coat windows.
"By doing so," Banerjee said, "we can block heat when it gets hot, let in heat when it's cold outside and always let in light."
While the innovation is still in the testing phase, one of Banerjee's graduate students is considering licensing aspects of the invention to create his own startup.
It's a good example of what UB wants to accomplish with its new Center of Excellence.
"This is part of our strategy, where we concentrate on the areas that improve the economy," said Tripathi, who serves as co-chairman of the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council.
This is UB's second state-funded Center of Excellence.
The centers were started in New York more than a decade ago to create high-tech jobs by tapping into the brain power at public universities.
In 2006, UB opened the Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus for the research of new therapies and drugs to treat diseases.
Both centers rely on UB's supercomputers – the informatics part – to help speed up the research process.
But the new center, in particular, complements the region's roots in manufacturing and would be closely tied with the regional council's plans for more high-tech, advanced manufacturing, Tripathi said.
Ideally, this research will lead to the development of new materials and spin-off companies to produce them.
But it's no silver bullet.
It's likely the center and its scientists will grow the economy more indirectly by helping manufacturers advance their research and development.
For example, Cartwright said, there may be companies that rely on expensive or rare-earth materials in their manufacturing process, which raise the price of their products.
"What we can think about is, 'What can we do to replace that material so now they can produce a product that puts them at a competitive advantage?'," Cartwright said. "Our goal is to help companies be more efficient, become more competitive and build the economy locally."
That has been a missing component in the region, but it's essential – especially if the hundreds of small and mid-size companies in the area are going to thrive and grow, he said.
"It addresses a need in manufacturing, which plays such a critical part in Western New York," Tripathi said.

LONDON (Reuters) - A new exhibition at London's Tate Modern later this year will explore Andy Warhol's legacy through artists like Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst, who embody the notion of artist as celebrity and commercial brand.
"Pop Life: Art in a Material World" takes Warhol's saying "good business is the best art" as a starting point and examines how subsequent generations embraced the idea despite the popular conviction that it is a betrayal of what fine art should be.
Some, including Hirst and Tracey Emin who were part of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement of the 1980s and 1990s, set out to make money from the very beginning.
"We've become very familiar with the YBAs here through the media and ... we see them through the lens of their success," said Catherine Wood, co-curator of the show which will run from October 1 to January 17, 2010.
"What's been really interesting ... is to see how much they made a play for success and for being art stars even at a very early point in their careers when they had nothing."
And although Warhol is a key precursor to the YBAs and their U.S. peers, there were others before him who embraced the notion of celebrity and of building the myth around the artist, notably Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali.
"He (Dali) had infiltrated the mass consciousness to a level no one had done before," Wood said.
The show will highlight three themes -- the artist's use of persona to build up a myth, artists increasingly embracing consumerism and commerce and their use of mass media long frowned upon by the world of fine art.
"Warhol totally understood how as an artist the myth is demanded of you whether you want it or not," said Wood.
The exhibition will begin with Warhol's late works including his role as a television personality and publisher.
It will look at how others developed his ideas and include a recreation of Martin Kippenberger's 1993 show where he appeared as a protagonist in many of the works and Emin's first solo show in 1994 grandiosely entitled "My Major Retrospective 1963-1993."
There will be a full-scale reconstruction of Keith Haring's Pop Shop in New York where he sold branded, editioned objects ranging from posters to toys aimed at a mass audience.
A gallery will also be dedicated to the YBAs in the early 1990s, and Hirst's 2008 sale at Sotheby's in London where he raised 111 million pounds ($168.4 million) by selling over 200 works especially created for the auction.
Hirst deliberately bypassed the traditional dealer network and went direct to an auction house which Wood said was "tainted by commerce" in the eyes of many.
"Damien Hirst, from the very beginning, has wanted to do things on his own terms and not waited for the existing order to recognize and sanction what he does," she told reporters.

This report was developed by the PwC practice in the Netherlands.
The objective of this report is to support cluster managers, policy makers and other relevant stakeholders in crystallising the notion of cluster management excellence as a process rather than an output. We suggest that to achieve cluster excellence, focusing on cluster management alone is not enough, and the notion of cluster governance has to be brought onto the stage.
The key pillars of excellence in cluster management include:
In the report, we present various examples of good practices related to both cluster management and cluster governance.

Photo Galleries: Historical look at President Richard Nixon | The Richard Nixon Centennial Birthday Celebration at The Richard Nixon Presidential Library
Related story: President Nixon's brother remembers him on the 100th anniversary of his birth
When Michel Chenelle teaches U.S. history, she points out the light and dark faces of President Richard Milhous Nixon.
There's Nixon the diplomat, who had famously opened the door to China. And there's Nixon of Watergate, who had infamously resigned in disgrace.
"He's known for Watergate and China," said Chenelle, who teaches eighth-grade history at Chime Institute in the San Fernando Valley community of Woodland Hills. "He opened up relations with China. (But) the Watergate scandal really left people disillusioned."
On Wednesday, on what would have been his 100th birthday, the nation's 37th president and Southern California's native son is both reviled and revered - and increasingly held up for acclaim.
Then there are the lingering popular images of Nixon.
Think of Nixon and picture the bulldog anti-communist with the bushy brows, ski-jump nose and stubborn 5 o'clock shadow.
Think of Nixon and remember the commander in chief who shook hands with Mao Zedong and who presided over a withdrawal from an unpopular war in Vietnam.
Then think of the man known as Tricky Dick and recall the political spying and "dirty tricks." The White House "plumbers" who broke into Democratic headquarters at Watergate. The profane White House tapes. And the "Deep Throat" revelations by the press.
Nixon, a seemingly paranoid figure implicated in a protracted political cover-up, resigned from office in 1974, ahead of near-certain impeachment. In all, the convictions of 48 government officials resulted from the Watergate affair. Today, tack on the suffix "gate" and affix a euphemism for scandal.
"Nixon was like a character out of Shakespeare, or the Bible," said Jack Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College who teaches a course on Nixon. "With enormous strengths and virtues. And enormous vices and weaknesses.
"Ironically, in some ways, Nixon was the most liked president between Roosevelt and Obama."
To mark the centennial of the president's birth, the Richard Nixon Foundation is hosting a VIP gala tonight in Washington, with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Nixon daughters Tricia Nixon Cox and Julie Nixon Eisenhower, the largest gathering of friends and family in 40 years.
Last Sunday at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, loyal supporters laid a White House wreath from President Barack Obama. A Nixon centennial exhibit is being prepared for February.
For in hindsight, many say, the late 20th century belongs to the Age of Nixon - a fiscally conservative Republican moderate who left a progressive legacy on his nation.
In the aftermath of the first Earth Day, Nixon founded the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Natural Resources, pushed for the Clean Air Act, signed the Endangered Species Act, and created more national parks than any other president.
In the wake of national civil rights legislation, Nixon was the first president to broadly desegregate schools in the South. He also instituted the first federal equal opportunity hiring for blacks. And returned more federal land than ever to Native American tribes.
Nixon was the first president to propose legislation for universal health care and launched the so-called War on Cancer.
He was also the only Republican president ever to support the Equal Rights Amendment for women. He also hired more women in his administration to date and launched more federal initiatives for women's rights.
He was also the last GOP president ever to field a balanced budget.
"When I think of the legacy of Nixon, I think of substantial - and complicated," said Lawrence Becker, a political scientist at Cal State Northridge and an expert on the U.S. presidency. "No matter where you are on the political spectrum, you have strong feelings about the Nixon presidency."
By now, most have heard the story about the whiz kid born of Quaker parents a century ago today in the clapboard farmhouse his father, Frank, built out of a kit in the middle of a large lemon grove.
It was so cold, his mother, Hannah, elected to bear her fifth at her Yorba Linda home rather than risk driving to a hospital.
After his father's farm failed, the family moved to Whittier, where Frank ran a grocery store and gas station.
The young Nixon woke up at 4 o'clock each morning to buy produce for the store in downtown Los Angeles, 36 miles away, then get back and clean it in time for school.
He was a staunch anti-communist, a crack debater and earnest athlete who would ultimately be accepted at Harvard. Instead, he attended Whittier College, where he ran for senior class president, promising to bring dancing to the Quaker campus. He won. And the Quakers danced.
To this day, there are campus markers for the Orthogonian Society he founded after being snubbed by a men's society on campus composed of more prominent families. He graduated second in his class.
"As far as the college goes, he's the identifiable graduate," said Joe Dmohowski, librarian for Whittier College for nearly 30 years. "I'm proud of it.
"I think Nixon is a very important historical figure. ... You'll find more fans of Nixon here than anywhere in the world except China."
It was Nixon who, after earning a law degree at Duke, returned to Whittier to be a small-town lawyer and marry Patricia Ryan. After serving as a naval officer in World War II, they returned to Los Angeles County.
A fervent anti-communist, Nixon was the McCarthy before Sen. Joe McCarthy.
Tugged by politics, the GOP candidate defeated a Democratic congressman by implying he'd been a communist. As a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, he investigated the Soviet spy Alger Hiss, then went on to serve as a California senator.
In 1952, he was nominated to be Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's vice presidential running mate. Accused of illegal use of campaign funds, he delivered his famous Checkers speech, a half-hour defense before a TV audience of 60 million.
He said every dime had been honestly earned.
"Pat doesn't have a mink coat," Nixon said. "But she does have a respectable Republican cloth coat."
He then went on to say that the only campaign gift was a family cocker spaniel named Checkers.
The comeback speech, however, contrasts starkly with one he made a decade later after he lost a challenge to California Gov. Pat Brown. Blaming the media for his loss, he said: "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."
It was earlier, in 1960, that Nixon lost the presidency by a whisker to the Massachusetts Democrat Sen. John F. Kennedy. In their famous TV debates, Kennedy came off as a young prince behind the camera. Nixon, recovering from the flu, came off as the sweaty man behind the 5 o'clock shadow.
When polled later, TV watchers thought Kennedy won, while radio listeners gave the debate to Nixon.
"It was awful," said Toni Plume, 61, of Tarzana, who as a girl had watched the debate with her family in their Los Angeles home, with the only TV on the block. "It was embarrassing - a train wreck."
It was at a solemn ceremony at the Nixon Library that the Cold War president, first elected in 1968, was celebrated as anything but.
A keen internationalist, Nixon had ended the contentious war in Vietnam. Opened the door to China and its future prosperity. Signed the first strategic arms limitation treaty with the Soviet Union, sowing the seeds for its demise.
And despite the bigoted language against Jews heard on the Nixon tapes, he'd helped save Israel during the Yom Kippur War.
After he resigned the presidency, he became an elder statesman for numerous administrations on both sides of the political aisle.
"I never understood how a man who had so much to lose, could lose it," said Joann Wysocki, 75, of Wilmington, among 1,800 fans to show up before noon to the ceremonies at the Nixon Library. "He did good - he made a mistake - but he did good. He was a man of humble birth who rose to the heights."
Nearby was Nixon's black marble headstone, where he has rested since 1994. After his funeral, residents waited four hours to read the words Nixon said himself at his first Inaugural Address: "The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker."
Chenelle, as an eighth-grade girl in San Diego, had once campaigned for Sen. George McGovern against Nixon's re-election, and once hung a giant anti-Nixon poster on her wall.
She hated him then, the registered Libertarian said. But she respects him more now.
"He's still not one of my favorite presidents," she said. "But I appreciate his political acumen. He was a great politician. He was a real go-getter."
Richard Nixon says goodbye with a victorious salute to his staff members outside the White House as he boards a helicopter after resigning the presidency on Aug. 9, 1974. Nixon was the first president in American history to resign the nation's highest office. His resignation came after approval of an impeachment article against him by the House Judiciary Committee for withholding evidence from Congress. He stepped down as the 37th president with a 2,026-day term, urging Americans to rally behind Gerald R. Ford. President Ford fully pardoned Nixon one month later. (AP Photo)

U.S. Officials to Meet With Taliban
The U.S. will have its first formal meeting with the Taliban in more than a year over the next couple of days in Doha, which will be followed by a Taliban meeting with the Afghan High Peace Council, the White House announced Tuesday.
The news of the coming U.S.-Taliban meetings followed an announcement by Afghan President Hamid Karzai that the peace process will be led by the Afghan government—and will move to Afghanistan following an undetermined number of initial rounds of talks to be held in Doha, the capital of the Gulf island nation of Qatar, near Saudi Arabia, where the Taliban has a representative office.
"We feel that a political process is an important part of how we end this war, so today is an important first step in that process, but it is by no means the end of that process," a senior administration official told reporters in a Tuesday morning conference call with reporters.
The U.S. side of the negotiations is likely to be led by James Dobbins, the State Department's new special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, who took the job last month following the resignation of Marc Grossman. Grossman replaced Richard Holbrooke, who died in December 2010.
But the U.S. officials emphasized that the new peace talks will be primarily between the Afghan government and the Taliban leadership and officials sought to manage the expectations of the international community.
"This is an Afghan initiative and this is Afghan-led and Afghan-owned," another senior administration official said. "We need to be realistic. This is a new development, potentially a significant development, but peace is not at hand."
U.S. officials said the progress of the talks and the announcement that the Taliban will formally open their office in Doha, which has been open informally for years, could lead to a diminution of violence in Afghanistan that could influence how quickly U.S. forces withdraw from the country ahead of the full transition to Afghan security control at the end of 2014.
The officials warned that the coming U.S.-Taliban and subsequent Afghan government–Taliban talks will be initial steps in what could be a protracted process of negotiations that might or might not ever yield a peace agreement.

CLAREMONT - This city is tops in Los Angeles County for having homes retrofitted to be more environmentally friendly.
More than 250 people celebrated the news on Thursday night at Taylor Hall.
"Lets face it, there's probably not too many communities that would fill an auditorium on Thursday night to hear about home retrofits," said Ken Alex, a senior policy adviser to Gov. Jerry Brown.
About 130 homes, or 1 percent of the 13,000 homes in the city, have been energy retrofitted.
"There are 13 million homes in the state," said Devon Hartman, co-founder of Claremont's Community Home Energy Retrofit Project.
"We are celebrating the accomplishment of the goal (130) and launching the goal of 1,300. We're at 160 completed or in process of being completed right now."
At Thursday's celebration, Hartman attributed Claremont's success to education, collaboration as well as public and private partnerships.
Howard Choy, general manager of Los Angeles County's Office of Sustainability, said Claremont was far ahead of other cities in the county for retrofitting.
"I was looking at the statistics earlier this week, and I think per capita number of retrofits, Claremont is like 30 times higher than the next city," Choy said.
Andrew McAllister, commissioner of the California Energy Commission, told attendees on Thursday that he was going to use Claremont as a model for other communities.
"If I can go back and say `Look, go check out Claremont. Look at what they're doing. Why can't your community do this as well? What are the barriers? What can we help you develop that's going to allow you to have traction?"' McAllister said.
Choy also said the goal of 1,300 homes being retrofitted in the city was also in reach.
"I don't think 10 percent is unrealistic," Choy said. "It's certainly audacious. We're going to be proud to be a part of it."
Residents Janet and Ron Evans said they spent about $4,600 on retrofitting their home with attic duct work and insulation.
A state program reimbursed them and "already we've seen a lessening of our utility bills," Ron Evans said.
"Finding that insulation here is not just for warmth, but obviously for very hot temperatures as well to keep it cool, so bringing the house up to a much better standard is a great advantage for 12 months of the year here."

I agree about LowPowerBanner.
I haven't been able to see it in action, but it should be number one.
Low power banner is kinda nice
It would be nice if you guys included any memory leakage, RAM consumption, and/or performance drops that each tweak may or may not have. For instance: WeeRoll takes 10-15Mb of RAM away from your unused RAM stores... so if you don't mind losing 10-15Mb of RAM, this tweak is for you. Or WeeRoll causes a slight lag when dragging down on the NC. These are hypothetical... so don't flame me if those examples aren't true.
Picto seems generic. I rather use emoji but still havent found a good one. any suggestions?
Can't help to notice but on the lowpowerbanner the iPod displayed in the picture the battery is 14%.. Yes the banner says 20%, hope it's actually accurate. Will download anyways and see how it goes.
Edit: just downloaded and works perfectly

University to strike LEED Gold on Earth Day
The University of South Carolina has won the Gold!
The university will announce its first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold-rated building at an Earth Day (April 22) event on campus.
Josh Boltinhouse, the Midlands Branch chairman of the S.C. chapter of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), will present university officials with a plaque at a 2 p.m. public event at Honors Residence, a residence hall for students in the S.C. Honors College that opened last August. The event will feature an eco-friendly reception and displays that will highlight the breadth and depth of the university's sustainability efforts.
The USGBC's LEED certification program is the nationally accepted standards for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. There are four LEED certification levels: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
With a LEED Gold rating, Honors Residence has set a new standard for green building at the university.
"The University of South Carolina was among the first schools to implement green buildings on campus and in the country," said Michael Koman, the university's director of sustainability. "We continue to improve our efforts in constructing buildings that are cost effective, healthier and utilize less energy and water. The Honors Residence is an example of how the university is developing projects that reduce, and may someday eliminate, environmental and economic impacts."
In addition to Boltinhouse and Koman, speakers included Dr. Davis Baird, dean of the S.C. Honors College, and Rohail Rashid Kazi, hall government president for Honors Residence and a sophomore biology-chemistry major from Greenville.
Honors Residence is the second building on campus to have a LEED designation. Green (West) Quad, a residence hall that opened in 2004, was awarded a LEED Silver rating in 2005.
Since the building of Green (West) Quad, the university has made a commitment to green building practices. The Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library, expected to open this summer, has been designed and built to a minimum LEED Silver standard, as was the Arnold School of Public Health, which opened in 2006.
The green features of Honors Residence range from energy savings and water consumption to the recycling of the bluestone and veil block from the "Towers" residence halls that were razed to build the new residence hall. The 191,123-square-foot hall features 356 rooms, numerous study areas and living rooms on each floor, multiple smart classrooms for instruction, an indoor bicycle room with shower, a dining hall and a Starbucks.
For more information on the sustainability at the University of South Carolina, visit the Web site: www.sc.edu/green. For more information on the USGBC LEED certification, go to the Web site: www.usgbc.org/
LEED Gold
- What: High ranking by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, which sets the standards for design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings
- When: Announcement to be made at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 22
- Where: Honors Residence, recipient of the LEED Gold ranking

So Mrs. Fosdick's welcome was whole-handed if not whole-hearted.
Miss Fosdick was quieter, but she, too, appeared to be enjoying herself.
On an evening later in the week Mrs. Fosdick gave a reception.
The second letter was, as he had surmised, from Mrs. Fosdick.
Fosdick could hardly believe that his twelve-hundred-mile exile was over.
To his astonishment the Fosdick countenance was not as his imagination had pictured it.
He hastily returned the Fosdick photograph to the drawer; but this time he did not put it quite so near the back.
At length the recital reached the point of the interview in Fosdick's office.
He glanced up at Fosdick, who was ill at ease over the development in the case.
This advice seemed reasonable, and Fosdick made no objection.

Folate deficiencyDeficiency - folic acid, Folic acid deficiency
Folate deficiency means you have a lower than normal amount of folic acid, a type of B vitamin, in your blood.
Folic acid works with vitamin B12 and vitamin C to help the body break down, use, and make new proteins. The vitamin helps form red blood cells. It also helps produce DNA, the building block of the human body, which carries genetic information.
Folic acid is a type of B vitamin. It is water-soluble, which means it is not stored in the fat tissues of the body. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine.
Because folate is not stored in the body in large amounts, your blood levels of folate will get low after only a few weeks of eating a diet low in folate. You can get folate by eating green leafy vegetables and liver.
Causes of folate deficiency are:
- Diseases in which folic acid is not absorbed well, such as celiac disease (sprue) or Crohn's disease
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Eating overcooked food
- Getting too much folic acid during the third trimester of pregnancy
- Hemolytic anemia
- Medications, such as phenytoin (Dilantin), sulfasalazine, or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
- Poor diet (often seen in the poor, the elderly, and people who do not eat fresh fruits or vegetables)
Folic acid deficiency may cause:
- Fatigue
- Gray hair
- Mouth sores (ulcers)
- Poor growth
- Swollen tongue
Exams and Tests
Folate deficiency can be diagnosed with a blood test. Pregnant women usually have such blood tests during prenatal checkups.
Possible Complications
Complications include:
- Anemia (low red blood cell count)
- Low levels of white blood cells and platelets (in severe cases)
In folate-deficiency anemia, the red blood cells are abnormally large (megaloblastic).
Folic acid is also needed for the development of a healthy fetus. It plays an important part in the development of the fetus' spinal cord and brain. Folic acid deficiency can cause severe birth defects of the brain and spinal cord, known as neural tube defects.
The best way to get the daily requirement of all essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods from the food guide plate. Most people in the United States eat enough folic acid because it is plentiful in the food supply.
Folate occurs naturally in the following foods:
- Beans and legumes
- Citrus fruits and juices
- Dark green leafy vegetables
- Liver
- Poultry, pork, and shellfish
- Wheat bran and other whole grains
The Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board recommends that adults get 400 micrograms of folate daily. Women who could become pregnant should take folic acid supplements to ensure that they get enough each day.
Specific recommendations depend on a person's age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy). Many foods now have extra folic acid added to help prevent birth defects.
See: Folic acid in diet for the full folic acid requirements by age group.
See: Folic acid and birth defect prevention for more information on folic acid requirements during pregnancy.

REDLANDS -- It will be an actor's showcase when the Redlands Forum hosts the Reader's Theater holiday performances next week.
The stories, O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" and Dylan Thomas' "A Child's Christmas in Wales," will be performed on Dec. 20 and 21, in the Esri Conference Center.
"It is real lovely," said Chris Beach, Theater Arts Department chairman at the University of Redlands and one of the founding actors of the holiday themed performances. "We do different dialects, play different ages and it's very fun. There is some great music."
It will be the fourth straight holiday themed Forum. Beach will be joined by fellow actors Sally Norton, Wendy Hunt and Matt Colem.
Beach is the director as well as an actor in the two performances.
"Our first show was about 12 years ago and Jack Dangermond and his wife came and said they loved it," he said. "They invited us to perform at Esri for the last three years. This year they wanted us back and wanted something different."
"A Child's Christmas in Wales" is the retelling of Christmas from the view of a young child, and "The Gift of the Magi" is about a young married couple dealing with secretly buying gifts for each other with little money.
The actors and the audience thrive on the Reader's Theater format.
"The basic rule of thumb, the performer doesn't leave the music stand more than an arm's distance," Beach said. "It is all about finding the right music, the mood and tone in the language with the voice."
Storytelling at its best, Beach hinted.
"It's very much about the art of storytelling," Beach said. "It really allows the audience to be read to and it lets their imagination create the reality of the characters and the sounds."

This is a problem that came up during IRC discussions. We consider a purely functional language. By purely functional we mean a language that has value semantics. I.e. there is no function s.t. after evaluation of the function the value that was referred to by something else changed. A value is "changed" when it is not the case during an evaluation that when the old value and the new value would both be fully evaluated, there wouldn't be the same result. This should make sure that laziness is allowed in the purely functional language.
The general problem is whether these purely functional languages can implement all algorithms that can be implemented in a language like C as efficient in an amortized sense ignoring space-usage.
As for a specific problem [1] : Given a list of numbers, implement a data type s.t. every number is stored in a structure, all structures together holds the numbers exactly once. One operation that needs to be supported is to move one element to another structure (possibly creating a new structure). A second operation is that given a number one should be able to return the structure holding that number. All operations should run in amortized O(1) time.
[1] It might be the case that this is a trivial problem and that I forgot some further conditions, if that's the case I will correct it later when a solution is posted.

[Note to "Anonymous" who posted a very valid comment to my last blog that has yet to appear: I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that Anonymous is not on your birth certificate, and as a matter of policy I don't post responses without names attached to them, let alone those that come with what I think are false e-mail addresses. So I'd be glad to post your comment if you want to repost it with a real name and a real e-mail address, but until then, sorry. We now return you to our regular blog, which is already in progress.]
A couple of things on the front burner to tie up loose ends on a beautiful morning in Felton that I hope will last:
Girls in tech: In Stormy Peters' blog this morning, she speaks about an event just over the hill from us in Felton called Dare2BDigital. It's being held Saturday at the Computer Science Museum in Mountain View, and for $35 for the kids (and $45 for the adults), it sounds like it's well worth the price of a ticket. It's a pity I didn't know about this earlier, as I would have done more, but while there's a good chance Mimi and I will attend, I should probably get more involved next year.
Tux Paint banned in Syria?: Horrors upon horrors! In a conversation with Tux Paint developer Bill Kendrick — an all-around good guy and the one who puts the "god" in LUGOD — he said someone in Syria asked him for an updated version of Tux Paint, but the person who requested it is in Syria and they couldn't get it. Stop me if you've heard this one already: Sourceforge is following the letter of U.S. law and not allowing software to go to banned countries like Libya, Cuba, Iran . . . and Syria. If I remember correctly, software is considered a "weapon" when it comes to export regulations, and Tux Paint is, well, software, and could be wielded like — oh, I don't know — a paintbrush against the United States. Sourceforge did its part, and I would not suggest that Sourceforge do otherwise, but it speaks to a bigger issue: How much of a threat to U.S. national security can programs like Tux Paint be? Is some Syrian or North Korean kid going to design a nuclear weapon using Tux Paint? Interestingly, this same conversation came up in Fedora Project circles a couple of years ago when Fedora couldn't send the OS to Fedora Ambassadors in Iran for the same reason; in that case, despite being a remarkably far stretch in my opinion, I could see why the government would want Fedora not to send an OS to a country on that list. But Tux Paint? Nah-nuh-NAAAAA!
Be there or be square: The ninth annual Southern California Linux Expo — that's SCALE 9X to you — is coming up in a couple of weeks — specifically Feb. 25-27 — and the $109 per night deal at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel, where the expo is being held, is being snatched up by attendees. If you're going, don't miss out. Register now at the SCALE site and take advantage of staying at the Hilton. Tell them Larry the Free Software Guy sent you, and if you go to SCALE, stop by the Fedora booth to say "hello."
(Fedora ambassador Larry Cafiero runs Redwood Digital Research in Felton, California, and is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation. He is also one of the founders of the Lindependence Project.)

About Tuxpaint: People can go to Cuba and people can send
things to Syira, without breaking any laws or trade agreements.
Just not people from the usOFa. So you just need someone in
a "free" country to handle this job.
Dare 2b Digital sounds like a great event, please take pics
and write one of your great articles so those of us unable
to attend can at least vicariously enjoy the show.

DUBAI, UAE -- Visitors to the Dubai Entertainment Amusement and Leisure (DEAL) Show got to try out Apple Industries' Scene Machine photobooth, which uses "green screen" (chroma key) matting to composite patrons' image onto their choice of background.
At the show, held in late April at the Dubai World Trade Centre, photobooth users could overlay an imprint of the emirate's cityscape (shown in photo below, at right). The Scene Machine is the latest automated imaging appliance in Apple's Face Place lineup.
Representing Apple at DEAL 2013 was Apple's Mideast distributor, Warehouse of Games (Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai-United Arab Emirates). The distributorship also exhibited the Greenvale, NY, company's Magazine Me, a photobooth that creates a magazine cover featuring the patron's portrait.

Mark the sequel: Not long afterwards, I was at a reception in the Rosebery Room of the House of Lords.
Rosebery, though he must have been a man past thirty at the time, looked a mere boy.
I wish you had not written in so uncomplimentary a strain about Rosebery.
They seem to centre about the sounding viaducts that leap over Rosebery Avenue.
Thanks chiefly to young Rosebery, that shrewd and genial lord.
However, since Rosebery seems anxious on point, will send over to Whiteley's and see what can be done.
In the neighbourhood is the Durdans, a seat of the earl of Rosebery.
He met Lord Rosebery travelling in great good humor by the luggage omnibus.
Didn't even mention Rosebery, unless he meant to include him in condemnation of "financiers and other disreputable persons."
There had been many changes in the brigade, since the men first went into camp at Rosebery Park, Sydney, nine months before.

SAILOR BOY: We sailed all the time when we were younger. And by "sailing" we mean "sitting in a sailboat." Our various boated friends would tack ceaselessly out through the Alamitos Bay channel while we popped open a Blatz and whined "Why don't you either learn how to sail straight or else get a motorboat?"
Even though we can't drive a boat, we can watch us a sailboat regatta, and the Granddaddy of All Regattas, the Rose Bowl Regatta, will be carving up the waters off the Long Beach coast on Saturday and Sunday.
Sailors from some 40 high schools (including Wilson and Poly) and 30 colleges and universities (including Cal State Long Beach) will be competing in the races, piloting two-person 14-foot CFJ sailing dinghies on two courses starting at 11 a.m. both days.
The Rose Bowl Regatta, sponsored by the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club, is one of the largest sailing events in the country. The best viewing points are from the Belmont Pier and along the beach side of the Peninsula.
BIGGER BOATS: Looking for something a little more bellicose and beefier than merely watching some 14-foot dinghies skipping around offshore? Let us suggest a visit aboard a couple of tall ships that are in port through Jan. 16. The brig Lady Washington and its archenemy the topsail ketch Hawaiian Chieftain are visiting Rainbow Harbor and offering walk-on tours, Battle Sails (with real cannon fire) and Adventure Sails that are a tad more peaceful.
Walk-on tours are open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and Jan. 15-16. A $3 donation is suggested.
Battle Sails are recreations of your typical 18th-century naval skirmish, featuring close-quarters maneuvers and real (loud) cannon fire, without cannon balls, which takes a bit of the horror out of your afternoon. They go from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and Jan. 12-13. Tickets are $60; $50 for students, seniors and active military; and $40 for children 12 and under.
Adventure Sails are more of a family affair, with participants getting a chance to help with ship chores, sing sea chanteys (alas, family-oriented ones) and listen to maritime tales. The Adventure Sails go from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday and Jan. 13. Tickets are $39 for all ages.
Reservations are recommended for the sailings. For those and more info, call 800-200-5239, or visit www.historicalseaport.org.
PICK OF THE WEEK: Any time you want to think that the old days were the best days, recall that in those days college football was dead and done with by the end of the first non-Sunday of the year. Now, thanks to modern technology and glorious, glorious greed, the season now stretches longer into the year.
What's likely to be the most-watched BCS Championship Game airs, or cables, at 5:30 p.m. Monday on ESPN and it locks two of the country's most popular teams, Alabama's Crimson Tide and Notre Dame's Fighting Irish into a cage just to see what happens.
A fact that went tragically unheralded this week is we won the 2012 Press-Telegram Football Forecast.
We bring this up not to cover ourself in glory - that is for posterity to do - but rather to show that we're not just yakking like a guy who calls in to radio sports-talk shows when we assure you that, despite Alabama being favored by to win by 10 points, they will, in fact, lose by 9. Our Holy Mother Church didn't come this far to get beat by a state that still plays Lynyrd Skynyrd albums.
FRIDAY PLAYLIST: You know what all the kids are doing these days? They're watching football games on TV with the sound off listen to songs that have to do with the opponents' teams and heritages. The reason you don't know about this is you're not cool. Here's your BCS Championship lineup:
1. "Boys from the County Hell," the Pogues
3. "Tura Lura Lura," The Band & Van Morrison
5. "I'm Shipping Up to Boston," Dropkick Murphys
6. "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)," the Doors
7. "Carrickfergus," Loudon Wainwright III
8. "Alabama Getaway," Grateful Dead
9. "Salty Dog," Flogging Molly
10. "Sweet Home Alabama," Lynyrd Skynyrd

|In my dad's memory Carmen Colenzo( my dad's favorite dish ) birthday August 28th
Chicken Marsala Recipe (in memory of my dad Carmen)
41 comments:
- Greg said...
Your post today is very familiar. Today would have been my mom's 81st birthday and my dad's favorite meal was chicken marsala. Their anniversary would have been tomorrow. I will have to try your version of Chicken Marsala, I have made my dad's version for years and Paula from bell'alimento taught me her version a few month's ago. Maybe I can become the Chicken Marsala guru.

What a wonderful post, Claudia. I'd say your dad was a very lucky man to have you as a daughter! Friday would've been my step-dad's 90th birthday. We lost him six years ago. He wasn't the most adventurous eater - and would've had a peanut butter and brown sugar sandwich for lunch and pot roast for dinner every night if Mom had been so disposed - but he'd try anything. I'll make this chicken marsala and enjoy a good memory! Kate

Chicago-based firm John Ronan Architects and Boston-based Shepley Bulfinch will design the new Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel and IlT president John L. Anderson announced the partnership of the two firms—with John Ronan Architects serving as the design architect on the project and Shepley Bulfinch as the programming architect.
The new $40 million, 100,000-square-foot building will be located on the South Side of Chicago at the university's main campus, which was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The Kaplan Institute will contain media labs, classrooms, collaborative spaces, and offices for the university's Institute of Design, Idea Shop, and Entrepreneurship, as well as its Leadership Academies.
"The new Kaplan Institute at IIT further establishes Chicago as the place where the greatest 21st century innovations begin," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel in an IIT news report. "This center will help today's students become the innovators of tomorrow—and provide businesses with a pipeline of new products, processes and talented graduates to hire."
John Ronan Architects, named one of ARCHITECT's top 50 firms in 2013, designed the IIT's Smart Grid Technical Center. The firm has also designed a number of academic and cultural buildings in Chicago, including the Poetry Foundation, Christ the King Jesuit College Prep School, and Gary Comer College Prep schoolJohn Ronan, FAIA, is a professor and associate dean at IIT.
Shepley Bulfinch, recognized by the AIA in 2011 for promoting diversity in architecture, also has a history in Chicago. In 1892, the firm—then known as Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge—designed the Art Institute of Chicago. The firm has worked with many universities and colleges, including multiple projects at Arizona State, Duke, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins.
Construction on the IIT facility could begin as early as summer 2015 with an anticipated completion date of 2017.

This is not a big deal. Just something strange that I've been wondering about from time to time. The "Classical Theravada" forum is not restricted to users, but in the "Last Post" link the topic name is not shown (just as with the "Personal Experience" forum while not logged in, where access is restricted to users). But this also does not change when I'm logged in.
Also, the link to the "last post" is not accurate at the moment. At this moment in time it's this: viewtopic.php?f=19&p=126642#p126642, whereas the real last post is this: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7831&p=126776#p126776.
Not a big deal. Just thought might be worth mentioning it, because I've seen the same thing earlier, and I think maybe it's always like that. Not sure though.

Disbursement and Credit Balance InformationThe Whitworth University Financial Aid and Student Accounting Services offices work closely to assure timely delivery of funds to students. Please read the following information related to credit balances.
What is a credit balance?
What must I do to obtain my credit balance?
When can I anticipate receiving my credit balance?
These dates apply only if the student begins the first class/session of his/her respective term.
* Due to the campus holiday closure, checks for spring semester will be ready a couple days after classes start.
Students should come to Whitworth prepared to purchase books and supplies without relying on their financial aid refund.

The 18 Weirdest 'Sexy' Halloween Costumes Based on Comics
Halloween is almost upon us, and along with candy, scary movies, and souls rising from their graves to torment the living, that means it's time for the annual parade of "sexy" Halloween costumes.
The idea of women using Halloween as an opportunity for dressing up in a risque outfit is, of course, nothing new. You may want to check on this, but I'm pretty sure the Sexy French Maid costume has actually been around longer than France. In recent years, though, the prevalence of the super-hero in Hollywood has led to more and more costumes being produced that tie into our favorite comics and cartoons, and that means costumes like Sexy Wolverine are now available to purchase.
And belive it or not, they only get more ridiculous from there. That's why today, in order to help you properly sex up your All-Hallow's Eve, I've picked out eighteen of the weirdest sexy super-hero costumes to see how they stack up against the originals that inspired them!
