Salt and Pepper ShrimpAugust 5, 2008 | By | COMMENTS
Let's talk about shrimp, baby, let's talk about you and me…
Ok, that was a Salt-N-Pepa joke. If you don't get that joke, click here (I couldn't embed it!)
Now then, salt and pepper shrimp. What are they? I'd never had them until I went to Brooklyn Fish Camp last week with Robbie Baitz. They are shrimp, fried with their shells on, and then dusted in salt and pepper. Hot from the fryer, you crunch through that skin and it's like a perfectly cooked shrimp wrapped in a potato chip. To quote the Barefoot Contessa, "How bad could that be, fool?"
Normally when I enjoy a restaurant dish, I assume that it's just something I could never master at home and sadly resign myself to only enjoying said dish at said restaurant. But, with salt-n-pepa shrimp, I knew that I had a recipe: Amanda Hesser writes about them in "Cooking For Mr. Latte" and includes a recipe from Pearl Oyster Bar (which used to date Brooklyn Fish Camp, but that's another story.)
And there it is on page 61. Amanda says, "My friend Paula introduced me to these shrimp. They were served in a tangle, crisp and hot. I began peeling away the shells, burning the tips of my fingers, when Paula nudged my arm and whispered, 'You're supposed to eat the shells and all.' Indeed."
Indeed! So how do you make them at home? You need four ingredients:
* Vegetable oil or peanut oil
* Flour
* 12 Shrimp (medium-sized)
* Cracker Meal
That last ingredient may be the hardest to find, though I found mine in the grocery store right near the breadcrumbs.
Here's what you do:
Pour an inch or two of oil into a deep saucepan, that way there's no chance it'll splatter. You'll need a thermometer here, the kind that clings to the side of the pot. Heat the oil until it gets to 350.
Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup of flour with 3 Tbs cracker meal. Dredge the shrimp in the mixture, shake off excess, and–once the oil's at 350–drop in the oil.
It'll sputter and spatter but then it'll get quiet and you want to fry until it's golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and "shower with salt and pepper on both sides of the shrimp."
That's it! If, when the shrimp are all used up, you still want to fry something, take a lemon, cut it thinly, coat in the same batter and drop in the fryer. It's a nice lemony foil for all the fried shrimp you're about to eat.
Now if only I could get that Salt-N-Pepa song out of my head. Let's talk about shrimp, baby, let's talk about shrimp…….

Implementing the Social Pedagogic Approach for Workforce Training and Education in England is a study that was developed in conjunction with DfES and the Social Exclusion Task Force. It focuses on the potential for introducing training for social pedagogy in England, with special reference to children in care. The report covers (i) care leavers' perspectives on their carers, including the carers' need for training; (ii) summaries of 4 studies of social pedagogy conducted at TCRU; (iii) the perspectives of stakeholders from children's services and training institutions on the introduction of social pedagogy and on other proposals advanced in Care Matter; (iv) differences between Danish qualifications in social pedagogy and English social care NVQs and social work degrees and (v) a framework for introducing pedagogy education, in England, and a discussion of costs.

News for Youse: Greenpeace ends protest, Panama Maru centenary, and U.S. doesn't go into default
Greenpeace ends protest Last evening, 16 environmental activists decided to end a day-long demonstration at the Kinder Morgan terminal in Burnaby against the shipment of tar-sands bitumen. Kinder Morgan hopes to nearly triple capacity through its pipeline from Alberta, which would sharply increase the number of oil tankers moving through Burrard Inlet.
Oil highlighted in throne speech The Conservative government's speech from the throne yesterday declared that a lack of infrastructure threatens to keep oil stranded in Alberta rather than reaching new export markets. The government has also promised balanced-budget legislation during "normal economic times" after running up the biggest deficits in Canadian history.

Aboriginal homeless shelter often full Patrick Stewart, chair of the Aboriginal Homelessness Committee for Metro Vancouver, says people are consistently being turned away from the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre's homeless shelter at 201 Central Street because it's often full.
Panama Maru centenary It's the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the Panama Maru vessel in Victoria Harbour carrying 56 South Asian passengers; 39 were detained because of racist continuous-migration legislation, but they were later freed by a court order and allowed to stay in Canada. This set the stage for a larger confrontation the next year involving more than 350 passengers onboard the Komagata Maru, which sailed into Vancouver Harbour on May 23, 1914.
U.S. government resumes operations The House of Representatives and the Senate both passed legislation to end the shutdown of the U.S. government and permit it to continue borrowing to pay debts until early 2014.

The Cafe Rio Difference
So you want to know what the Cafe Rio difference is, do you? We could tell you that it's because we don't have any freezers or microwaves in any of our restaurants, which means everything is fresh every day. We could tell you it's because we hand squeeze 1,000 limes a day, or that we hand scoop every avocado. We could even tell you that we hand roll our homemade tortilla's fresh every minute of every day. That our signature sauces and dressings are made every day. We could tell you that it's the tender loving care our amazing employees put into every meal. We could tell you it's because our employees love their jobs, and make coming to Cafe Rio a festive experience. Yep, we could tell you all of that, but the real secret? It's Mexican Fairy Dust, but shhhh don't tell.
Come in and enjoy one of our massive Burritos. Make it even better by ordering it enchilada style, smothered with one of three sauces and topped off with melted cheese.
If you don't want a burrito, we also offer tacos, tamales, quesadillas and delicious tacos!
You can fill each of them with one of several different meats, veggies, salsas and more!

BURNLEY-based MB Aerospace Holdings has bought a firm which supplies parts for the Eurofighter Typhoon and Airbus A330, safeguarding 60 jobs in the industry.
The company, which has its headquarters on the Heasandford industrial estate, has acquired the business and certain assets of Thomson Aero Ltd from administrators KPMG.
The sale safeguards the company's 60-strong workforce and provides the opportunity for continued manufacturing at its Frome site in Somerset.
The business will form a new division of MB Aerospace, alongside the group's three UK-based facilities in Derby, Burnley and Motherwell.
Founded in 1959, Thomson Aero Ltd has a blue-chip customer base and provides engineering solutions and manufactured aero-engine components for a number of civil, defence and industrial gas turbines.
With recent annual revenues of approximately £6million, Thomson has developed a sophisticated range of engineering and production capabilities for a number of key aero-engine programmes, including complex machined components supporting the Eurofighter, which is partly assembled at BAE's Samlesbury site.
Craig Gallagher, chief executive officer of MB Aerospace Holdings, said: "This acquisition provides us with a range of additional complex machining capabilities and a highly skilled workforce ready to support the challenging needs of our global customers, including Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing and GKN Aerospace.
"The administration of Thomson Aero Ltd has been a challenging period for employees, customers and supplier stakeholders alike; however, I'm confident the acquisition provides the best solution available for all and that MB Aerospace will be able to stabilise the business and position it for future growth."
The deal marks MB Aerospace's second acquisition in just three months following the recent purchase of Gentz Aero, based in Detroit, USA in December 2011, bringing the total number of employees in the MBAe Group to almost 450.
MB Aerospace, on the , has benefitted from the support of its major equity investor, LDC, which backed the management buyout of the business in 2007.

Randall Layman's Tales of the Cocktail, round three
Randall Layman, a bartender at Vesta Dipping Grill, is just back from New Orleans, where he attended his first Tales of the Cocktail. We'll be printing his dispatches -- here are the first and second installments -- all week.
Day Three:
With the curtains closed tight over the window in my room and the A/C blasting, I squeeze in as much sleep as possible before I jump over the Hotel Monteleone to meet Kevin Burke from Colt & Gray at the Carousel Bar. I order us a couple of Vieux Carres at the bar where they were created and we quickly pour them into plastic cups for the walk to the Bar Brawl. (Have I mentioned that you can have booze anywhere in New Orleans as long as it's in a plastic container?!)
Carousel Bar
Taryn Kapronica
Kevin Burke, Mike Henderson (also of Colt & Gray), Matt Lanning (Telluride) and I have all managed to find work as barbacks for six of the best cocktail bars in the country, thanks to Sean Kenyon, who is working with aka wine geek and Grand Marnier mixing welcome cocktails for some 500 attendees. It's nice to have a good representation of Colorado at such an event.
Working alongside some of my favorite guys from Denver as well as some of the most talented in the country is wonderful. And the party is a who's who of the cocktail world. Rick House (San Francisco), Drink (Boston), the Drawing Room (Chicago), Dutch Kills (Long Island City, New York), the Florida Room (Miami) and the Varnish (Los Angeles) are all vying for their spot as the best cocktail bar in the country. Judged by legends like Dale DeGroff and Julie Reiner, the competition focuses not only on cocktails but general atmosphere and the hospitality of the bars and bartenders.
At the end of the night, the Varnish takes home the crowd-favorite prize and Drink wins the judges' hearts as best overall bar. My personal favorite was Dutch Kills, with Rick House a close second. But all of the bars were incredible.
For me, the most important victory belongs to the Colorado Bartenders Guild. Although not many people in the room know who we are, we haul ice and glassware through the crowd with giant smiles on all of our faces knowing that at some point in the future, Colorado will certainly be part of this prestigious competition.
In the meantime, here's the recipe for the Vieux Carre
1 oz. Cognac 1 oz. Rye Whiskey 1 oz. Sweet Vermouth (Carpano Antica is best) 1 barspoon Benedictine 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Stir and serve up in a chilled cocktail glass with a cherry garnish. Enjoy.

Honorary Old
RR: 4.4 miles with the stroller. 1 mile warmup, 3 miles @ tempo including a mile on a long incline, .4 cooldown. Averaged 10:15 pace over the first 4 miles and that included letting dog off/on the leash and her stopping to take a crap/ensuing cleanup.
BR: Sicky. Coughed all night. This morning he is really cuddly/whiny and has crazy green boogers. Biggest telltale sign of him being sick is that he didn't fight me tooth & nail when I washed his hair this morning, in fact, he tried to fall asleep. I put him to bed with Daddy who is off work for the next 7 days. Not what DH had in mind for today I'm sure but ppppbbblppt! :P
FR: Sautéed chicken, brown rice, corn, and a salad last night. I might roast a chicken tonight.
NRR: Got my new computer yesterday, which I am posting from. Couldn't get the monitor to connect and spent 45 mins on the phone with Vaji at HP tech support taking the memory chips in and out a million times, only to figure out I'm blonde and had the cable plugged into the wrong DVI port. Dicked around with that and did the tech support until 11 so I'm tired today and my thumb is sore from memory chip abuse.
2 Mile: 17: 11 5k PR: 27:45 5 Mile: 44:11 10K: 59:01 Half: 2:15:59 Marathon: 5:50:07
zorbs- that's really lame of your daycare lady. My daycare lady's policy is "if you can make it up my steep gravel driveway, I will watch your kid". That one time that the schoolbus got stuck on her road, I just parked and hoofed it a quarter mile each way to pick up Reid.
Time to go make breakfast. BBL.
Writing for a quick stress relief. Almost had an emotional breakdown this morning because I am so unprepared for my exam. I basically started this morning which was a bad idea. But I decided I will be skipping my last class and will pick H up early and then go for a stroller run. I need some serious stress relief and H time. Only a few more months of this....I think I am starting a countdown until May when my finals are.
bermy: I am not a little crazy....a lot of crazy. Unfortunately I didn;t know DH would ever be away when I started school. If I did know, I am not sure if I would have done it....

Bad Ass Mother Runner
RR - meeting RP tonight for TM run plus ST'ing.
TR - at gma's still. Coming home this morning, can't wait to see her!
BR - was up to feed an extra time last night, but that was good as she cleared my plugged duct. I fed her and then went and massaged it in the tub w/ a bottle and collected almost an ounce, I would have collected more but didn't get the bottle at first, I didn't realize how much I was going to be able to express. That's a crazy amount of milk for me as it usually takes 10 mins w/ the pump minimum to get that much.
FR - guess i'm on a yogurt diet now Forgot to bring roasts up again... plus I'm at appts most of the day, so I have no idea.
NRR - posted on fb, have thrush in my right boob, the one that had the clogged duct. I have a dr's appt this afternoon, so hopefully I can get this cleared up asap and it doesn't spread to the other boob or to O. Apparently they are less susceptible at her age as she's making her own bacteria now. Here's hoping.
bb for personals.

Shelby – Good luck with your 12 today. Boo to daycare being delayed AGAIN. I hope you were able to figure out childcare. Sorry your mom is sick too. Hope you guys don't catch it. Good luck on your exam.
Bermy – Glad DS STTN again! Have a great run in your new shoes. Are they are different style/brand then your others? Yum…I love WF…enjoy!
Mer – So glad you got a snow day and didn't have to drive AGAIN in the crappy weather. We are NOT one of the 271 schools closed today. Enjoy the hot chocolate and toast.
CTimes – Sorry about a cranky C. Teething? Enjoy your massage.
Becky – Glad crazy cakes is a bit more tolerable. Wish she wouldn't take her personal frustrations out on you. Yum to WF!!
Mrszm – too cute about C putting the ice on the wrong cheek. Yuck to all the snow you got. I hope you can get a run in despite the snow. All of our students have shown up so far despite the snow…it really isn't that bad here…we got 4 inches or something but it was icy and sloppy this morning.
Ernie – Enjoy your 5K with RP…if you can get it in. S is growing and needs her food. Guessing she is going through a 1 year growth spurt. Glad you got some extra sleep.
Zorbs – Mine is a recipe from mer/mrszm. It is BBQ sauce mixed with cooked chicken. So throw on some mozz cheese, the chicken mix, onions and feta cheese. It is delicious and not overly BBQ sauce tasting.
Spike – Nice job on the run!! Sorry R is sick. I hope he feels better soon. Maybe he'll be easy on DH since he is sick. Glad you got your new computer but that sucks about spending so much time with tech support…happens to all of us. Hopefully you like the purchase though.
Shelby – Hugs…enjoy your run and time with H…you deserve it!
CA – Ugh to thrush. Seems like you are having a bad spell with the boobs right nowJ Hopefully it passes quickly and O doesn't catch it. Good luck with your dentist and other appts today.
zorbs - daycare lady sounds like she wants a day off.. sounds like today can't be worse. Hope you have a good day.
RG - I hope the roads are good for your run today! I'm with you on spring, I'm getting pretty excited w/ all the races I'm registering for!
Jen - That sucks that your school didn't cancel! DRive safe!!
shel - M's tantrums around 18 months actually were a bit funny, we tried not to laugh, but she was so dramatic! I hope you got the daycare thing worked out, that's crazy that they have delays, I've never heard of a daycare having snow delays.
bermy - I read your tempo #'s yesterday, I need to go back and metric convert, but they sounded fast! I'm the one who's worried with keeping up with you girl!
mer - yay for a snow day! and having the house to yourself, that's a dream come true
cx2 - yay for a massage!! Do you get the toys when she whines? I'd ignore and let her figure out how to get them herself... I'm a mean mommy
becky - lol, I have dreams of sleeping alone in a hotel... mmm. Ugh on the office lady, I hope things continue to improve, but why didn't she just tell people what was going on.
mzm - lol on running with the boyfriends stealer - I hope you're faster... and then run just a bit faster than she's comfortable so that she's sucking wind the entire time... Aren't I a biotch!
ernie - run with the faster pace group! It sounds like you will kill your old PR. LOL on the hungry toddler, I used to call M a hobbit at that age as she always had breakfast, second breakfast and elevensees.
spike - awesome stroller run!! Boo to the sick toddler. I can tell when M is sick because she'll sit and cuddle.
NRR2- Home appraisal went well, we should know Friday if we're good.
TR2- Daycare lady told me yesterday that she was letting him play on the big kid playground and he wanted down and she reached up to get him and instead of going to her arms, he went backwards and he almost fell like 5 feet. She caught him by his sweatshirt. I guess while its not good that he almost fell, I like that she tells me stuff like that, not trying to hide anything.
shelbyjo- sorry you are stressed. You can do it! I don't know if I told you but I went to school (online) while working full time and with a newborn, it is so tough. Can you find daycare that is not through the airforce, or is it free?
runnergirl- Just a tip for photos, once R learns how to say "yes" get him to say that instead of Cheese when taking pictures, and you will get a more natural smile- my photographer friend taught me that. Winter is pretty much over here, but in the spring we get nasty winds and I hate running in the wind.
Jen- glad J was good for you last night. I picked up R a little early too, those few extra minutes here and there are so nice.
CA- I hate plugged ducts- owie! My sister had thrush really bad with her DS, she treated it with Oregano oil.
Bermy- did Publix just not have the variety of vegetables that you need? I swear that every time I buy kale the checker looks at it with a puzzled look, c'mon, its not that weird!
Mer- I bet the snow is keeping DH really busy!
cx2- R is kind of a whiner, now that he can talk he always whines 'need help! need help!' even if he can totally do it on his own. I always make him try on his own first.
Becky- sorry that idiot has a brat daughter, but that's no excuse.
mzm- so you are running with boyfriend stealer now? I must have missed that! Reid has some little animal icepacks- he's got a hippo one and a penguin one that his different grandmas gave him.
Ernie- good luck on your half. Don't know what to tell you about pace. I only PR when I feel like there is no way or if I don't care LOL
Oh, sad post. Look away if you are a dog person. My sister got called by the police yesterday because her live-in boyfriend's dog climbed the fence while he was on his zip line and hung himself on the fence Horrible. Her backyard borders a park and some kids found him when they went to play basketball. She had to go help the police get him down.
RR - 4 miles this morning. The first 3 felt good, last one was kind of hard. I'm taking it easy this week. Meeting with personal trainer in a couple hours and need to tell her to go easy on my legs!
BR - off at MMO. I want to spend time with him but at the same time I desperately need to clean my floors so I'm going to take advantage of him being gone and do that this morning.
KR - had a meeting at DD's school this morning about extended school year this summer. She'll go 1 day/week for a few hours. It's more of a pain than anything, kind of disrupts our schedule, but I'm sure it's good for her so we'll still send her.
FR - pulled a pan of stuffed peppers out of the freezer for tonight.
NRR - my dad left this morning, driving back to WI. I think we will fly my mom back around March 19th-20th, after she comes to the beach with us for spring break.
zorbs - that is really irritating about your daycare lady! I hope DH's sickness stays away from you! My mom and dad both have colds, I have been washing my hands like crazy.
rg - I hope you can get your run in. I feel like I am back up north again, our weather has been so cold and nasty lately. Spring can't come soon enough!!
jen - sorry about the crappy weather by you too. Weird that so many schools are closed but not yours!
shelby - so sorry about daycare being delayed! You have so much going on, it would be nice if some things would just run smoothly. Ugh. I hope your dad can help.
bermy - I read about your awesome run yesterday. Amazing what you can do without a stroller! From lulu I got the run inspire crops, and also the run pace crop. I couldn't decide what length to get so I got 2 I still need to talk to DH about Nashville and where to stay, he played tennis last night so I didn't see him until I was half asleep. Hopefully tonight!
mer - I hope my dad's drive up to WI is ok. He was going to leave yesterday but I talked him into waiting a day because of weather. He gets so impatient to go somewhere else all the time. Enjoy your snow day! Yum hot chocolate and buttered toast!!
cx2 - UGH on the whining. I HATE it. Unfortunately I can't really tell you when it stops because I am still waiting for it to stop with my older girls. My 10 year old is OK, so maybe by age 10. Of course then the dreaded teenage years are right around the corner...
becky - yay for a night at a hotel! Sorry about your hip, hopefully a rest day will fix it. Yum on Whole Foods. They keep talking about the one they're building here but I have no idea when it'll be done.
mrszm - lol on boyfriend steeler. Have you run with her yet?
ernie - good luck deciding what to do for the half! The half I ran Sunday was pretty flat and I was hoping for a better time than my hilly half last month but then it ended up being 30˚ warmer and a lot more humid so I threw all expectations out the window.
spike - great stroller run! I always take advantage of having my mom here and run solo but then stroller runs feel extra hard again after she leaves. Sorry R is sick
CA - ouch, I'm sorry about the thrush. I bet it's been nice only having 1 for a while, how long was your other one at gma's?
I changed my mind on the RD and ran 4.5 on the TM...
CA - sorry about the duct and the thrush! Hope that clears up for you soon.... and no, I don't always get the toys for her.. sometimes she loses interest, sometimes the whining gets so bad I have to get it for her..
spike - i think it'd help if C could talk and then tell me why she's unhappy... nice that your DH is off 7 days, hope you guys get to spend some time together!
mer - yea, i try to remind myself everything is just a phase...
Ahh, and I just realized I started my period this morning but forgot to put a tampon in because I am not used to it. Just bled through my jeans, ugh. Is today over yet?
Well, exam did not go so well. But it's over. Hopefully I passed.
spike: Ugh, I hate technology. Great job on the tempo run with stroller!! I agree school with baby is tough. It was almost easier last year when he was a newborn because I could study while he slept. Now he is on the go all the time. At least he is a lot of fun As for daycare, it isn't free but is about half the price of other daycares and is a really good daycare. His class only has 5 boys which I love. Hopefully this winter weather will just go away.
That dog story breaks my heart! How sad.
CA: So glad to hear the duct became unclogged but sorry to hear about the trush. The whole feeing another person thing is rough! And I totally agree about the tantrum being funny. He would occasionally stop, look at me, and then start again. Silly boy.
jen: Thanks! I was thinking the same thing...I hope my mom gets better but mostly I hope H and I don't catch it.
cx2: great job on getting the run in
arm: Have fun with your trainer. How often do you go? I am jealous of your upcoming beach vacation!
becky: Why are you guys staying at a hotel? Glad your coworker had some reasons for her poor work performance. Hopefully it continues to improve!
mer: Enjoy having the housee to yourself.
ernie: I am terrible with km paces. What was your last HM PR? Is there a slower pace group you could start with and then speed up if you feel good?
car: i had super bad thrush with c! i needed an oral anti fungal to get rid of it as the topical stuff wasn't strong enough. hooe they give you the good stuff!
Spike - Aw, poor sicky R. Sounds like he'll be snugly and sleepy for Daddy, though. Hope you like your new computer, other than the tech support issues yesterday. Dealing with tech issues that late at night makes it all the more frustrating. Omg, scary about the near fall at the playground...glad daycare lady has quick reflexes!
CA - Ugh, sorry about the thrush and clogged duct. Is it really painful? Hope you can get it cleared up fast without it spreading. Thanks for the vote of confidence...I think I will run with the faster pace group. If I don't, I will just end up wondering if I could have gone faster.
Arm - Ah, your beach vacation sounds so nice! Yeah, hot and humid would definitely make for a difficult half - was it really hot even with the early morning start? I definitely don't have to worry about that here - I am hoping it won't be freezing cold, windy or snowing!
Shelby - You are having a rough day You definitely deserve to skip that last class and get out of there early! Were you at least wearing dark jeans so nothing showed? The pace group behind the 1:40 is 1:45, which is slightly slower than my PR, so I wouldn't want to run with them. I wasn't expecting there to be a 1:40 pace group so I had just planned to run by myself at about 7:40/mile pace....the 1:40 pace group is about 7:35/mile. So I think I'll give it a shot and run with them - being with a group + race adrenaline might be enough to pull it off.
5k - 20:46 10k - 41:27 10 mile - 1:15:32 Half marathon - 1:39:15

RCI or NCL? Who would we choose next time!: Splendour of the Seas Cruise Review by taylor
Overall Member Rating
RCI or NCL? Who would we choose next time!
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
The positives first:
Having checked in on line before leaving UK,boarding was simply and quick.
Cruise staff on board were helpful and pleasant. The two waiters on our table in King & 1 dining restaurant were absolute gems. A comedy duo who provided great entertainment to our table of 8 diners for the entire week. Very attentive. Maitre D' was more than accommodating in our dining requirements. The food was good, with choice of 5 or 6 dishes for each course.
Breakfast and lunch in the Windjammer provided plenty of choice for all tastes and the food was good. It inevitably became busy and peak dining times and table space was sometimes difficult to find, but did not prove too much of problem.
Our outside cabin was clean and had a large double More bed, and large window and mirrors which made it very bright.
Our cabin attendant made up towel animals and hung them from our cabin mirror (wearing a pair of our sunglasses)whilst we were at dinner, and making our towels into two heart shape swans for our wedding anniversary was lovely.
The lack of nicely presented complimentary toilets was also lacking. Small piece soap was provided and pump of shower jel on shower wall did not make up for this little touch, which is a minimum requirement of even a small 3 star hotel.
The bar drink prices were exceptionally expensive. The cocktails contained more ice than alcohol and were expensive for what they were. We therefore ensured we limited the funds we were prepared to pay out for these.
Shore excursions were also very expensive, so we did our own getting around.
Overall we had a great cruise. Would we go with RCI again? Yes. Less
Published 09/16/10
Cabin review: I Large Ocean View Stateroom
Cabin was good. Light and clean.Read All Large Ocean View Stateroom (I) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
Dubrovnik is very much geared up to tourists. Cost of walking round the inside wall was 10 euro, so we opted instead for the cable car which cost the same. The cable car runs up the side of the hill behind Dubrovnik town walls, just a 5 minute walk away. The views on a clear day are fantastic. You get a great view of the whole of Dubrovnik town from here. There is also a small pleasant beach just outside the town walls.
We did not take the opportunity to go on excursion as we have seen our fair share of historic ruins on previous cruises. If you can stand the constant hassle from shop traders then there are plenty of shops to look at. Would like to have spent more time meandering through the market and shops but it was constant hassle from beginning to end so we gave up and took a local taxi to Ladies Beach just round the bay for the cost of 4 euro, where we spent pleasant couple of hours swimming and relaxing on the beach. Although beach is covered in used cigarette ends!
Oia is the place to see with the blue roofs and whitewashed houses and little lanes to wander down. Fantastic views across the bay. A local bus runs about every half hour from Fira to Oia and back.
We waited for about 40 mins in queue to get on cable car to return to the ship.

Usinger president shares sausage grilling secrets
(page 2)
OMC: Are you a winter griller?
FU: Yes. I really prefer garden tomatoes on my sausages, but I do grill all winter. The knobs on my gas grill are all broken because they cracked in the cold. I have to use a pliers to start it up.
OMC: How many sausages do you eat a week?
FU: I sample them at work once or twice a week. I eat them at home, too.
OMC: Have you ever tried a veggie "brat?"
FU: No. I have never had any interest.
OMC: Is the 4th of July the busiest brat holiday?
FU: Really from opening day until Labor Day is our brat season. And it depends a lot on the weather. During the three-day weekends in the summer, if the weather is good, the store get cleaned out.
OMC: How long has your family been in the sausage making business?
FU: My great, great-grandfather started the business in 1880. I'm the fourth generation. I grew up hearing about the business every night at the dinner table. I started out working at the plant Downtown when I was 16. Then I worked there during college, too. I went to Madison and got a degree in agriculture, specifically meat and animal science. I have been working full time for the company since I graduated in 1980.
OMC: Has the recipe / taste of the brat changed over the years?
FU: No, the (classic) brat has not changed very much at all. We have added many new flavor varieties like Cajun brats and garlic brats, but we haven't tinkered with the original too much.
We have to honor the customers' expectations of the product. They grew up eating a Usinger's brat tasting a certain way and so that's how they expect a brat to taste.
But this is why we can have so many successful sausage makers, because people identify certain flavors with how it tasted when they were growing up and that's what they want to consume as an adult, too.
The only changes we've made are a little less salt because people are more sensitive to salt these days, but not there's only so far you can go. Salt brings out a lot of the other flavors. Also, our equipment, keeps getting more and more modern.
OMC: How many different sausages does Usinger's make?
FU: 120. We have a full selection at our store on Third Street. We have a lot of European specialty sausages.
OMC: Do you have a similar approach to cooking hotdogs?
FU: Are you really gonna open that can of worms now? (Laughing.) Haven't you had enough?
OMC: Lay it on me.
FU: "Hotdogs" – also called wieners or frankfurters – come with or without a casing. Most hotdogs are skinless. The casing is removed before the consumer buys it. Usinger's has a natural casing, which give the wiener some snap when you bite into it. There's more resistance. The casing keeps the spices and flavors in when you cook it as long as it doesn't get pierced or split in overcooking.
OMC: How do you cook your hotdogs?
FU: Sometimes I grill them, but I prefer hot water. I boil water, turn off the flame and drop it in for five or 10 minutes. I'll even microwave them, but not for too long or they get weird and deformed.
OMC: And, I'm sure I know the answer to this, but do you ever put ketchup and mustard on your dog?
FU: No, no, no. Tomato and onion only again.
OMC: So many people in Milwaukee were saddened by the passing of your sister and business partner, Debra, last year. How has it been without her?
FU: There were five kids in our family, but Debra and I were the closest in age. We were number four and five. We grew up together. We were very close. We worked together every day and we socialized.
She had a large personality. I handled the inside operations and Debra was the outside person. We're all still adjusting to her not being here. We miss her humor and her personality. But part of the strength of a business is to fill in holes when you need to and to continue on.

Yeah, good article. Interesting that they have 120 different kinds of sausage, and one of them is NOT a beer brat.

Meeting Dmitrii Birman, a Russian politician, businessman, and author
Thursday, April 7, 6 p.m.
Location: Max Kade Center (3401 Walnut Street, Suite 329A, above Starbucks)
This is a short reading and long Q&A with the author, who is both a published prose writer and poet and a successful businessman.
Alphabet of Masks
By Dmitri Birman, translated by Antonina W. Bouis and Bela Shayevich
In the heady days of perestroika in the Soviet Union, when anything and everything seemed possible, young Dmitri Birman started a business in Gorky. He also wrote poetry that was consistently rejected by Soviet censors. Today, he is a prize-winning poet, successful businessman, and a respected politician.
Alphabet of Masks, a collection of short stories and poems written on his mobile phone, paints a picture of the life of a busy and sensitive man, dealing with wives, girlfriends, travel, and colleagues and reminiscing about lost loves, lost illusions, and lost parents. It is an imaginative foray into the modern-day Russian experience. Birman shows us how today's Russians straddle their Soviet past and their capitalist future in order to survive.
The stories are wry, humorous, and sexually frank, the poems lyrical and elegiac. While not autobiographical, the book is about the life story of the narrator and his friends. The anti-Semitic reality of school bullies and army conscription, the adolescent yearning for classmates and teaching assistants, the Soviet dream of world travel and luxury consumption are all deftly woven into short stories no more than a page or two in length; the poetry resonates with the texts, as variations on a theme.
About the author
Dmitri Birman was born in 1961 in Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod). His father was incarcerated in the Stalin camps from 1949 to 1959, as an enemy of the people.
He graduated from the Gorky Construction Engineering institute and worked as a construction foreman. During perestroika, he founded one of the first commercial enterprises in the USSR. He went back to school and got a PhD in economics from Nizhny Novgorod University.
For over a decade, he has been an elected councilman in the Nizhny Novgorod City Duma. He is a member of the Governor's Council on Business Development and the board of the Nizhny Novgorod synagogue and a founder of the Yevgeny Yevstigneev Theater Festival.
He began writing poetry as an adolescent. All the poetry he sent to Soviet magazines was rejected. But now Birman is the only member of the Russian branch of PEN from Nizhny Novgorod and winner of the Rubtsov International Poetry Competition.
Dmitri Birman's other books of prose and poetry are Two Roles (2000) and IMHO (2007).

A poetry reading by Arkadii Dragomoshchenko
presented by Writers Without Borders
6:00 PM in the Arts Cafe of the Kelly Writers' House
hosted by: Kevin Platt and Charles Bernstein
co-sponsored by: Slavic Languages and Literatures, Comparative Literatures, and Temple-Penn Poetics
Born in Potsdam, Germany, Arkadii Trofimovich Dragomoshchenko spent his youth in the Ukraine of the Soviet Union. While working on his eight book-length collections of poetry and two full-length plays, he also worked as a stoker at the former Leningrad State University Psychological Department. His first book was Nebo Sootvetstvii (Sky of Correspondence), published in 1990. The same year a collection in English, Description, translated by Lyn Hejinian and Elena Balashova was published by Sun & Moon Press in the USA. Xenia followed in 1994, published the same year in English, again by Sun & Moon Press. Other books of poetry, followed, Pod Podozreniem (Under Suspicion), and his selected poetry, Opisanie in 2000. Dragomoshchenko has also published several books of fiction and prose, including Phosphor, Kitajskoe Solnce, translated into English as Chinese Sun (Ugly Duckling Press), and Bezrazlichia (Indifferences), a book of collected prose. Dalkey Archive Press published a selection of Dragomoshchenko's prose as Dust in 2009. Dragomoshchenko's work has been collected into several anthologies and he has lectured in the Department of Philosophy at the St. Petersburg State University and been a visiting Professor at the University of California, San Diego, SUNY Buffalo, and the Smolny Institute of Liberal Arts and Science, an affiliate of Bard College.
"For Dragomoshchenko, language is not the always already used and appropriated, the pre-formed and prefixed that American poets feel they must wrestle with. On the contrary, Dragomoshchenko insists that 'language cannot be appropriated because it is perpetually incomplete' ...and, in an aphorism reminiscent of Rimbaud's 'Je est un autre,' "poetry is always somewhere else." —Marjorie Perloff

woop-dee-do. I'm sure wp7 users would rather have an update with the ability to copy/paste, multitask, use custom ringtones, be able to send video files via mms, and have adobe flash. No-Do as they call it is a weak update and it still doesn't have a release date.

Investors in this part of the world are busy placing their bets on the fiscal cliff, Chinese growth and RIM's survival prospects. It's understandable if they are no longer paying much attention to the events unfolding in Europe.
What is perhaps more surprising is that European investors and business people are also starting to take a ho-hum attitude to the never-ending Greek debt saga, the social unrest spreading across the European austerity belt and the widening divisions between the haves and have-nots of the European Union.
European stocks posted their best week in almost a year.
Yields on 10-year Greek bonds fell to levels not seen since the debt restructuring last spring. Spanish yields also declined and the euro climbed to a three-week high against the greenback. German business confidence rose, confounding the experts.
French business sentiment also took a slightly more upbeat turn, although it remains near a three-year low.
Still, not even the latest downgrade of French government debt or a recent harsh cover story on France in The Economist ("The time-bomb at the heart of Europe") had a noticeable impact on renewed enthusiasm for French bonds.
This "relative return of confidence in the prospects for the euro area" is entirely justified, European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi told a banking conference in Frankfurt Friday.
That's a rather bold statement, considering the state of the regional economy and the fact that European leaders can't even agree on the EU's next budget.
Meanwhile, euro-zone finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund were still wrangling over the conditions of a deal to release the next critical loan instalment to insolvent Greece.
"If they cannot resolve it, then Greece will declare bankruptcy. But the risk is not very high," assures Thomas Mayer, an outspoken former chief economist with Deutsche Bank and still a senior adviser to the bank.
"It is now a poker game, and in the end, everyone will give way a little. Everyone will suffer some loss of face. But the pain will be distributed, such that there will be no clear winner."
A key sticking point has been whether euro-zone governments should bite the bullet and write off part of official loans to Greece, cutting interest rates and extending debt maturities – in effect taking the sort of haircuts imposed earlier this year on private-sector lenders.
Germany, the biggest creditor, has rejected any such debt relief. But governments will have to absorb the losses eventually, says Dr. Mayer, senior fellow with the Center for Financial Studies at Goethe University in Frankfurt.
"You have to be an extreme optimist to think that Greece will be able to repay debt that is likely to reach 190 per cent of its GDP next year."
His own assessment is that the whole Greek rescue effort may well come unglued in the next year, particularly if the weak ruling coalition in Athens crumbles and a new government abandons the austerity drive.
But this doesn't have to mean the end of the euro for Greece, let alone the rest of the monetary union.
His own intriguing solution for preserving the currency bloc and Greece's place in it involves setting up parallel currencies that would function alongside the euro in both stronger and weaker economies.
If, for instance, the opposition Greek leftist Syriza party manages to convert its current lead in the polls into victory in the next election and abandons the enforced budget slashing, it would not be able to beg or borrow enough euros to cover its expenses.
But it could conceivably issue its own IOUs and still retain the euro as a store of value, Dr. Mayer suggests.
People would want to trade this "bad money" – which he labels Geuros – as soon as possible for domestic goods and services while holding on to their euros or "good money."
But who would accept the devalued scrip? He tells me to think of vegetables. The local grocer might refuse to accept this form of payment at first. But if the alternative is for the unsold produce to spoil, eventually the proprietor will give in and accept the parallel currency, which would go into circulation.
"When the official money doesn't fit, people will develop bypasses," he says, citing several historical examples.
"There would be no formal exit from the euro. Why should there be? There would be no expulsion. There couldn't be. It would be just an evolution."
He suggests that a middle tier of countries, including France, Italy and Spain, might opt to keep the euro as both a medium for transactions and a store of value.
Those in the stronger upper tier of the currency union, including Germany, the Netherlands and Finland, would still use the euro for transactions, but would likely create their own virtual currencies as a means of safeguarding wealth.
Such a mutation of the existing monetary arrangement "would seem to me more likely than its entire disappearance," he says in his latest book, Europe's Unfinished Currency (Anthem Press).
What has reaction been like?
"Some of the more euro-skeptical policy circles are not agreeing, but at least they are listening." But the pro-euro policy crowd has a different response, calling it "a lunatic idea that only an economist can think of."Report Typo/Error

Rio Theatre's Corinne Lea welcomes new liquor rules for cinemas
Corinne Lea, owner of the Rio Theatre in East Vancouver, is applauding the latest change to provincial liquor-licence rules.
Theatres can now apply for a licence to serve alcohol during film screenings, minister Rich Coleman announced today (April 11).
The previous regulations, which were relaxed somewhat in February, banned licensed venues in the province from ever showing movies.
However, theatres can now apply for a licence to serve alcohol in lobbies during all-ages film screenings and in auditoriums for adults-only screenings.
"From what I can tell so far it looks really positive. It looks like we've pretty much got everything we've wanted. So, yeah, we're thrilled," Lea told the Straight by phone.
Lea, who runs the single-screen Rio Theatre at Commercial and Broadway, has been waging a public fight to change the provincial liquor rules.
In January, Lea announced the Rio—a venue for both film screenings and live events—was being forced to stop showing movies after it received a licence to serve liquor at live events.
After an outcry from Lea, the province updated the regulations in February.
That change allowed film screenings at licensed venues during some times but liquor service was still banned during movies.
Lea argued the rules were still too restrictive and that her small business was in jeopardy.
However, with the province's latest change to the liquor rules, she is pleased.
"This time around it looks like they've made every effort to remove unnecessary restrictions and just simplify the whole process and that I appreciate so much," Lea said.
"It sounds like Rich Coleman really heard what we were asking for and he has delivered."
While it isn't clear when the Rio might be able to receive approval under the new rules, Lea said the change is a boost for her business.
"The future was 100 percent uncertain before. Instead of the odds being stacked against us, now we've got the odds in our favour," she said.
"Who knows? Maybe it's still going to prove difficult, as I know business does. But at least now we've got a good fighting chance to make this work."
NDP arts critic Spencer Chandra Herbert also welcomed the change by the province.
"I'm really happy that they finally acted," Chandra Herbert told the Straight by phone.
He said the changes announced in February by Coleman, the minister responsible for liquor, were not helpful.
"Now he's come back in and deleted the things that he brought in to fix it and has done what we in the NDP suggested after the mess-up to begin with. It's a good change," Chandra Herbert said.
The province says around 130 theatres could be eligible to submit applications under the new rules.
"These changes give movie theatres and live-event theatres much more flexibility to operate while allowing adults to responsibly enjoy a drink while watching a movie," Coleman said in a statement.
"These changes strike an appropriate balance between allowing liquor service at theatres and limiting minors' access to alcohol."

History Of Truth - The Truth about God and Religions Volume 1 - In Search of God.
This book is aimed at those who are interested in seeking the Truth about God and Religions. It represents a step-by-step search of truth in an attempt to answer the most important questions of human mind:
The current tendency to separate science and religion imposes disgraceful restrictions on science to achieve even more prosperous horizons. The law of repetition is introduced. This law simply states that because common guidelines exist, in all living organisms or physical objects, then the Designer of the Creator of all living and non-living objects is the same.
The question of the existence of God is answered by examining the known facts about the universe such as the Big Bang, the expansion of the universe and the recent discovery in cosmology. The missing universe is explained. The theory of evolution that is being taught in every high school and university on earth is criticized and discredited. This is based upon recognized information about origin of life, fossil record, comparative anatomy, and mutation.
The author establishes criteria for accepting religion that will be applied to the three dominant Abrahamic religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
The technical information, in this book, is presented in an easy-to read and understandable form.
History Of Truth - The Truth about God and Religions Volume 2 -Comparative Religion
The author traces the advent of polytheism early in the human history to the people of Noah. This book examines ancient pagan trinities in the Middle East and how they influenced the Christian trinity. For 2000 years, Christians practice old pagan customs and celebrate pagan holidays. Hinduism and Buddhism are also presented.
This is followed by exploring Monotheism. Judaism imposes human characteristics on God and present Biblical Prophets in a corrupt manner, which exposes the grave defects in the Old Testament. The four phase theory of the Evolution of Christianity in its first 800 years reveals how humans, not Jesus Peace be upon him, formulated the doctrines of Christianity. It also shows how Christianity is transformed from true Monotheism to polytheism by tainting Christianity with classical mythology. Major contradictions in the New Testament are presented.
The role of Paul, fathers of the Church, and the Ecumenical council of Church that were presided by Emperors and Empresses, in the evolution of Christianity are exposed. The basic doctrines of Christianity of trinity, son of god, original sin, atonement, crucifixion and the resurrection are criticized in the light of the New Testament as well as Islamic traditions. The role of Paul, fathers of the Church, and the Ecumenical council of Church that were presided by Emperors and Empresses, in the evolution of Christianity are exposed. The basic doctrines of Christianity of trinity, son of god, original sin, atonement, crucifixion and the resurrection are criticized in the light of the New Testament as well as Islamic traditions.
History of Truth - The Truth about God and Religions Volume 3 - The Bible
The author supports debate or dialogue between Christianity and Islam, instead of the destructive approach of clash of civilization. Early Christianity was a time of great Roman persecution upon the church. Early Christianity suffered the loss of about 50 Gospels introducing different theologies, and the defeat of about 80 sects by the declared winner, the Catholic Church that consisted mainly of Gentile pagan converts.
The need to revise the Bible is due to the existence of the many English translations of the Bible, with major differences in the basic doctrines of Christianity. The Bible has been revised many times. Reading different versions of the English Bible is a very confusing experience. A comparison of contemporary English versions of Gospels shows many controversies and emphasizes the need of a unified Bible. The role of the deceptive Christian Missionaries is criticized.
The presented approach can be considered as an extension to the single Gospel that was compiled by President Thomas Jefferson. This step should unify the many present Christian groups and eliminate major contradictions in the New Testament. This is followed by a step-by-step proposal to revise New Testament and produce a single Gospel without contradictions.
History of Truth - The Truth about God and Religions Volume 4 - Islam: the Divine Miracles.
The Islamic Sources and the basics of Islam are presented as a true Monotheistic religion. The Quran is preserved in the original Arabic text and the memorization of the whole Holy Book by millions of Muslims during fourteen centuries. No other religion can claim the same.
To achieve stronger faith in Islam, a proof of the existence of the name and description of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in the Bible are presented. Moreover, the need of Islamic Unity and Islamic Identity are emphasized, and the dangers facing Muslims are highlighted. Inspiring stories of converts to Islam, representing the fast diversity of Muslims converts of Islam are presented.
The scientific verses in the Quran represent serious challenges to non-Muslims. Some of the scientific miracles of the Quran is followed which prove that an unlettered Arab in the seventh century, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, stated scientific facts that became know only after fourteen centuries. This is one the proofs that the Prophet received a revelation from the One and Only Creator. The religion criteria are applied to the three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 23.047 Friday, 3 February 2012
Date: February 3, 2012 8:48:05 AM EST
Subject: Re: SHAKSPER: O Rare
Marie Merkel asks
> Does anyone know of an online resource for discovering
> all the "rare" words . . . within a given play?
About 10 years ago SHAKSPERian Steve Roth did some refinements to a project I started called SHAXICAN. (The name was a gibe at Donald Foster's supposed SHAXICON database, which was the subject of several articles but never appeared.) The idea was to count rare words in Shakespeare by play and by actor's part, looking for correlations. Specifically, we wanted to test the hypothesis that the rare words in a particular part acted by Shakespeare himself would appear disproportionately often in the next play he wrote, since those rare words he'd recently spoken on stage would be at the forefront of his mind. That was Foster's claim but SHAXICAN was unable to verify it.
The files from SHAXICAN are still available at
and the one you want is "correlations.txt" in the "Roth's refinements" section.
Save it to your own computer, then open it in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. (Excel will take you through a 'Text import wizard' for handling 'Delimited data' files: just accept all the defaults.)
Sort the whole table on the second column, which contains the play names. That'll give you a table with plays listed alphabetically from 1H4 (=1 Henry 4) to WT (=The Winter's Tale) in the second column and the rare words in the first column. The third column identifies an actor's part in another play, which part also contains this row's rare word. The fourth column gives the number of times this row's rare word appears in the play identified in the second column and the fifth column gives the number of times this rare word appears in the part identified in the third column. (I'm making it sound more complicated than it is: Roth explains the table with an extract on the website.)
Here, a word is rare if it occurs 1-12 times in the Shakespeare canon. Sorry if that's too broad a filter for your purposes. For each rare word you can see what part in another play it also occurs in, so the word 'abundance' that appears once in 1H4 is listed 9 times at that point in the table, once each for its appearances in 2H4 (twice), AWW (once), COR (twice), JN (once), MV (once), PER (once), and TMP (once). Of course 'abundance' appears later in the table too, for each of its occurences in those other plays.
If you want to find words that appear fewer times than 12 in the canon, look for words that appear fewer times overall in the table. You can do this by eye (as you would a printed concordance) or better still someone good at Excel might write you a formula that finds words appearing only once (or any arbitrary number of times) in the table. If there's a SHAKSPERian who can do that, I'd be interested to share the formula. I teach an undergraduate course on this sort of thing ("The Art of Distant Reading"*) and am somewhat hampered by the fact that good students are better than me at Excel but entirely unfamiliar with real programming. (There is a vigorous debate in the UK about whether the teaching of computers in schools fails to encourage real programming and instead promotes clever uses of Microsoft Office; in my experience it does.)

* My proposed title for the course was "The Art of Not Reading" but this was rejected by my university as likely to bring a department of literature into disrepute. The course titles are indebted to Franco Moretti and Martin Mueller, respectively.

Bill Clinton Won The Inauguration
In case you forgot how awesome Bill Clinton is, it's this awesome. Exactly this awesome. Not to mention, this happened next because we're dealing with a man who never shies away from life's sweetest rewards or shoving a cigar in them. And on the opposite side of that coin, you have Joe Biden who's clearly seen better asses. I'm amazed the next photo isn't him punching it, that's how offended he looks.

Re: [G104] Re: Historic Sherman from TF Baum to be Preserved
Expand Messages
- Dan, what is your Grandfather's name?
I corresponded with someone about Target 25 a few years back.
We may have had some language barrier issues, but IIRC, he said the rear tow
lugs were shot off and no dataplate, etc.
I've since seen the serial number stamped outside the dataplate frame on a
few Chrysler built Shermans, so that might be a possibilty for finding it on
Target 25.
I would think that if the serial number is higher than the 58xxx range,
chances would be pretty slim that it is a relic of TF Baum.

Journalists, the self-described writers of the first draft of history, often have a very tough time remembering it. I've lost count how many times I've heard the phrase "most ever," "biggest in history," "worst X ever" and so on.
The BBC provided the latest example of this historical short-sightedness in a not-exactly condemnatory (the Beeb never once calls him a dictator) profile of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, which as the WSJ's James Taranto noted yesterday, contained a major error:
Last Monday the BBC published a puff piece on Cuba's dictator titled "Fidel:
The World Icon." Here's how it starts:
Cuba's President Fidel Castro--the world's longest-serving leader--turns
80 on 13 August. This week, we will be assessing his political life and his
impact on the Caribbean island.
The world's longest-serving leader? Castro seized power in January 1959, which
certainly puts him at the top of the list. But we can think of one head of state
who's been in office since 1952, and it's one the BBC should have heard of:
Elizabeth II.
Also at the Journal today, former CBSer Bernie Goldberg has an excellent piece up about how Iran's president has mastered the game of television, making him more dangerous than Khomeini.

Malkin skated with assistant coach Andre Savard for about a half hour before practice Friday and after the Penguins' 4-3, overtime loss to the Sabres, accompanied the team to Buffalo, where he will skate again today.
"There's no ice (at Mellon Arena today), so he's going to come and skate on his own (today) after practice and continue his rehab with (trainers Chris Stewart and Scott Adams today) in Buffalo, so it will be good," general manager Ray Shero said last night. "Plus, it'll be good for him to get back on the road with the guys."
Yesterday was the first time Malkin skated since he collided with teammate John LeClair in his preseason debut Sept. 20. Malkin suffered a dislocation more commonly seen in car accidents than hockey games after he flipped over LeClair along the end boards.
"That was almost like a car accident," Shero said.
Malkin saw an NHL Players' Association doctor Monday, and the doctor didn't recommend surgery.
"He's making good progress, which is great," Shero said. "He's pretty much pain free, so now, it's a matter of strengthening the muscles and so forth -- and a matter of time.
"We're certainly not going to push it or rush it, but it's good when you have an injury like that just to get on the ice, feel the puck and get your legs."

EVERY man and his dog have been quick to tell the rest of us why people voted for UKIP.
Even on election night, as the results were only half known, the TV pundits were pontificating on this matter. How did they know?
Had they actually asked UKIP voters, or were they presuming and surmising as they usually do? People vote for different parties for a whole range of different reasons. Some may even vote because they like the colour of a particular rosette. Who knows?
With my presumptive hat on, I think it is fairly safe to say that, because it was an EU election, UKIP voters did so because they want the UK withdrawn from the EU immediately.
