In remembrance
Philadelphia is a grand old city. It is chock full of history. History with a big crack down its middle. History that can be viewed in art form and misunderstood. History full of rolling hills and lazy arthritic deer. Black history. White history. But there is only one kind of history in Philadelphia that can be smothered with onions and cheese and devoured to the accompaniment of beer. That is the Philadelphia cheesesteak.
I remember the first time I had a Philadelphia cheesesteak. It was four years ago and I had just arrived in this city, hungry, scared, broke and with a car full of plastic rectangles I had purchased in Walmart and didn't want to throw away when I moved. I had been unemployed for four months and had forgotten what meat looked like. Or cheese.
That is why when the city embraced me with open arms and handed me a big cheesesteak, I did not know what to do with it. I held it against the light and it was beautiful. I sniffed it and it smelt of happiness. I grazed my lips against it and it tasted of sunshine. I placed it on the carpet and knelt in reverence. I kept it on paper and traced its outline. I sang to it. I fixed it a bubble bath and lowered it into the bathtub. It sank to the bottom. That was not a smart thing to do. I went and bought another.
I ate this one. Anyone who's ever eaten a Philly cheesesteak can never have amorous relations with an ordinary sandwich with the same passion again. The combination of thinly sliced ribeye steak, cheese, onions and sometimes mushrooms, depending on whether you are gay or not, on a long roll is something every person on this planet needs to experience at least once during his lifetime.
This is historic Pat's King of Steaks, the place in South Philadelphia where the first ever cheesesteak was invented by Mr Harry Olivieri and his brother, Pat. I once biked 30 miles from Valley Forge to Pat's Steaks and back. It was my pilgrimage, my homage to this extraordinary sandwich that is virtually a food group for most Philadelphians, along with pizza, beer and hookers.
Rest in peace Mr Olivieri. Thinly sliced. Smothered in onions. And drizzled with cheese, of course.

I have been tempted to try a Philadelphia cheesesteak, but I've been leery. It seems a long way to import cheesesteaks from Philadelphia to California and I've been worried how the taste would hold up.
Do you have any suggestions? - 6:56 PM

I had this amazing cheesestake just outside philly airport. Some ramp people took me. I don't know what they do to those crushed onions, divine. And it's not the same anywhere else. Yes, in SFO, they do add the filthy mushrooms, wierd!
- lumi said...
This is the place I experienced my first real Philly Cheesesteak! It was a divine experience. At least I got to share mine with one of my best friends. We asked around about where the best cheesesteak came from and more than a few said Pat's. RIP Harry.
One more to go and I will have finished a dozen at Rick's - then I will get my free one! with cheesewhiz of course!!
- Anurag said...
What about Pretzels? I thought that was supposed to be Philly! You historians are always promoting your favourites. For once, try writing an unbiased eulogy.
- gawker said...
anonymous : Thank you
robroy : Yes, the only solution is to create a cheesesteak long enough to stretch from Philly to the west coast. And it is only a matter of time before they do it because of the weightage Wall Street bosses place on Guinness Book entries in the resume.
dna : ramp people?yes, we grow our own onions here in Philadelphia. It is the ozone that makes them so delicious.
lumi : yes pat's is the best apparently. there's geno's right opposite but geno doesn't like the brown folk as much.
llsa : rick who? yes cheesewhiz is the best.
anurag : when they start making pretzels that are drippign with grease, loaded with cheese and are made from something that used to have a mother, i will write about pretzels. - 4:00 PM

FAITH, N.C.--The Faith 4th of July Parade is still one of the largest Independence Day traditions in North Carolina.
This year more than 30,000 people are estimated to have turned out for the small town celebration.
The heat wasn't stopping them from carrying on the parade that Rowan County residents have looked forward to for generations.
"It grows every year, it gets bigger, seems like we have more entries every year and the crowd grows, so it gets better, bigger and better every year," said Pam Alexander, Co-Chair of the event. She's organized the parade with her family for 15 years.
"Anything they threw out at you, you know, it was a rush to get the candy," said Erica Bailey, a Faith resident who remembers going to the parade as a child.
Now as a parent she still looks forward to the celebration.
"Because I have a daughter and she's involved with the band, Carson High School band she's in the color guard," said Bailey.
Also a lifelong resident of Faith is the parade's Grand Marshal, Marcell Williams.
"This is me. Fourth of July is me," said Willams. The 91-year-old World War II veteran says it's hard to pick just one fond memory of the parade.
"That's impossible. They're all fond," he said.
Many people look forward to this event each year just to spend time with their family.
"It's very family oriented, and a lot of people only see each other once a year and that's here," said Alexander.
And of course, celebrating our country.
"That's just what it's all about being here and supporting troops and we thank them very much for everything they do," said Bailey.
Faith will host fireworks Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. at Faith School Ballpark.

Let them start with their daughters
Take World War II, for example. The Russians lost 20 million of its citizens, and Joseph Stalin killed many more during his psychotic rein. Germany lost millions of its young men. America lost over 300,000 of it best and perhaps brightest. Many were highly intelligent young men. Perhaps one of them, had he lived, could have discovered the cure for cancer or could have figured out how to build a spaceship that could travel through space using some innovative futuristic technology. We will never know because this person is dead.
I had an uncle who fought in Korea. He experienced war in a way that no human being should experience. He, along with 160 American soldiers, was attacked by a large force of Chinese soldiers. My uncle said that the battle lasted for over 5 hours and soon, the Americans began running out of ammunition.
Resupply was impossible. Soon, the Chinese communist overran the American lines. All that escaped were 5 American soldiers who were able to hold the Chinese off with "grease guns," small automatic weapons, that allowed them to retreat back to American lines and safety.
Physically, my uncle recovered, but mentally, he never fully got over this terrifying experience that almost cost him his life. He lost several friends that fateful day, and he told me that never a day went by when he did not think of them and sometimes cry.
Enter Democrat politics into this equation. The "get a vote at any cost" crowd is at it again. Last week, our distinguished and valiant Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, declared that women could now become combat soldiers.
Before the feminist attack me and label me a "male chauvinist pig living in the dark ages," let me explain that I am the father of 2 daughters and have been married to the same "Miss Judy" for over 45 years. I admire and respect women.
If pure brainpower is the measure, they may be smarter than males. They are great teachers, doctors, lawyers, surgeons, researchers, airplane pilots, and most importantly, great mothers. I know that this may come as a shock to Panetta and the other "metro men" who dominate the Democrat Party today, but men and women are different. They have different roles in the human life cycle, and there is nothing that you and I can do about it. Nature has made this assignment. No amount of "social experimentation" will ever change this.
For political reasons, the Obama administration has made a deliberate decision to hide behind America's women by claiming that women now have an "equal opportunity" to get their limbs blown off or worse, die on the battle field. What kind of man does it take to make this kind of decision?
When I was about 13 years old, my father gave me the "birds and bees" speech. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when out of the blue, dad said, "Son, always treat women with respect."
That was it. Looking back over the years, those simple words had a profound effect on me and to this day have served me well.
Losing a son in war is bad enough, but losing a daughter is unimaginable to me. Sending women to the front lines to fight in a conflict that has been created by inept and corrupt politicians, regardless of their party affiliations, is beyond my ability to comprehend. Thank God that I was born in the South. No Southern man would ever make such a wrong-headed decision.
I am acutely aware that some wars are unavoidable, but remember this. If a nation becomes involved in a conflict, the purpose is to win. The unthinkable consequences that will be produced by this weak and reckless decision thrust upon us by this administration will come back to haunt Americans for as long as we remain a nation.
I have too much respect for America's women to sacrifice them in an experiment that we already know will fail. Women do have an important role to play in America's armed forces. Getting blown up on some distant battlefield, in my judgment, is not one of them.
If Obama and Panetta want to place women on the front lines, let them start with their own daughters. That would be a real commitment, one that I'm sure they won't make.

American University employs many professors of prominence in its fields, with many instructors working for the government or other organizations in addition to serving as professors. As a result of many professors being highly involved in D.C. politics and organizations, students often have access to Washington insider information and experiences. Particularly noteworthy are the political science, international relations, public affairs, and business programs, which all emphasize D.C.-specific subjects and perspectives. By taking advantage of the resources of the city, the school allows students to combine its education with real-life experience. Most undergraduates experience at least one internship while attending AU.
Classes are usually small, with most having about 30 students, and are often discussion-based. While there are some exceptions, professors are generally very good, including the many adjunct professors who teach in addition to working in the city. Despite being a small school, AU has a great drawing power for well-known and respected faculty members. Don't be surprised to see professors being interviewed or called in for their expert opinions on the news. Students find D.C. to be an exciting and eye-opening city, and the school's classes reflect that. D.C. is a fast-paced and politically-charged town, and AU incorporates the best elements of the city into its education.

DATA DEBATE: Creators of the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) database are at odds over who should be in charge of the influenza gene sequences information that researchers are using to develop vaccines.

A database designed to help researchers worldwide develop vaccines for avian and seasonal influenza viruses, not to mention the prolific H1N1 "swine flu," is now at the center of an ugly rift between its co-creators. Both the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) Foundation that initiated the effort and the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) that built the actual influenza gene sequence "EpiFlu" database claim ownership of the project, thanks to legal and financial entanglements that the courts will now have to sort through.
For now, the spat has led to the existence of two EpiFlu databases (one launched Monday by the Washington, D.C.–based GISAID Foundation and the other managed by SIB), a situation that could undermine the goal of building a central repository to improve the sharing of data on influenza.
GISAID announced plans to create the original EpiFlu database following the 2006 H5N1 avian influenza outbreak as a way of providing researchers with quick access to gene sequence data. The foundation then contracted SIB to do the programming required to build the actual database.
Scientists in more than 150 countries have used the GISAID EpiFlu database as a free source of public information-sharing about influenza gene sequences since it went online in May 2008. Trouble surfaced for GISAID on July 27, however, when SIB cut off access to the EpiFlu data from the GISAID.org site. Citing "contractual and legal issues," SIB redirected all registered users to an SIB Web site for access to the information.
"SIB disconnected from our portal and told the researchers to connect directly to SIB," says a GISAID Foundation board member who asked not to be identified due an ongoing court case with SIB in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and an arbitration proceeding in Geneva, Switzerland.
SIB director Ron Appel said in a statement that GISAID had not paid his organization in full for its work and that, under Swiss law, a default on payment renders a contract null and void, giving SIB the rights to the database it built.
The GISAID Foundation disputes this claim, saying SIB had been paid for its work by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Swiss government. SIB had "no right to do so or to operate the EpiFlu database on its own," according to the foundation board member.
Biotech companies such as Alphavax in Research Triangle Park, N.C., and Novavax, Inc., in Rockville, Md., rely on information contained in the EpiFlu database to help them develop prototype influenza vaccines without the need to wait for the CDC to release a virus reference strain, something that can take several weeks following an outbreak. Their approach promises to allow them to make vaccines rapidly and in high volume, compared with the more conventional chicken egg–based approach.

Music plays an integral role in the life of Native Americans. It is used for ceremonial purposes, recreation, expression, and healing. There are many different instruments used when making Native American music, including drums, flutes, and other percussion instruments. Perhaps the most important element of their music is the voice.
Vocals are the backbone of the music made in Native American cultures. Unusual, irregular rhythms and a somewhat off-key style of singing is used. No harmony is ever incorporated, although sometimes many people sing at once, and other times the vocals are solo. The Native American vocals are passionate, used to invoke spirits, ask for rain or healing, or are used to heal the sick. In most cases, the men and women of the tribes sing separate songs, and have their own dances. The men typically dance around in a circle, while the women usually dance in place.
Many researchers feel that Native American music is some of the most complex ever performed. The tensing and releasing of the vocals combined with varying drum beats makes it a very intricate form of art. Another interesting item of note is that every region of the country where the Native Americans had settled produced greatly varying forms and sounds of music. With so many different tribes, the music produced is always unique to its specific group. Generally, Eskimo music has been touted as being the most simple of all of the Native American music styles, while the Hopi, Pueblo, and Zuni tribes of the Southwestern part of the country have been known to produce much more complex sounding music. The emotion invoked from Native American music has been a great influence in modern folk music. In addition, tribal music is still very popular among music fans, and Native American CDs sell fairly well, even in today's modern climate.
Absolutely beautiful flute style.
This really speaks to my heart.
Do they still work as 'wind talkers' in the army? I think that was strategically an excellent move by the army but it is sad that they considered them expendable in order to protect the code.
As I understand it there were approximately 400 that served in the Marine Corps during World War II and they developed a code that the Japanese were never able to break. It is said that because of them we owe a large part of the United State's success in WW II. I am happy that Ronald Reagan in 1981 recognized the NA wind talkers and named August 14 as National Navajo Code Talkers day and in December of 1981 he awarded them with a certificate of recognition. They say that modern day technological advances have made the Code Talkers unnecessary. When Mr. Charles Chibitty passed away in 2005 they mentioned that he was the last of the World War II Code Talkers.
Absolutely beautiful, and yet haunting at the same time. I just close my eyes and let the music and words take me where ever I am to go.

"We have a very strong sense of time, but it is not measured by wristwatches or atomic clocks. Our sense of time comes from the Mother, from nature. We view time in cycles and in circles, in a rhythm that guides our world and all the living things that Grandfather has placed here. We do not "read" time; we try to understand its meaning and try to work within its natural cycles and circles.
When we gather, we do so when the time is right. What does that mean? It may mean that we gather when the Elders tell us it is time, or when we are hungry, or when dusk has come and we wish to pray or celebrate. It is not time that guides us to our destination, it is us who reach our destination in accordance with Grandfather's time.
We know that we will meet again when it is time for our paths to cross, not when our clocks tell us it is the right time. We are guided by an inner sense of time, Grandfather's time, which keeps us connected with each other and the Mother, the Earth. For us, time is not an imperative, not a deadline, but a rhythm. It is our job to learn to read and understand that rhythm. We do not sleep at a certain time, but when sleep comes. We do not awake at an appointed hour, but when our winged brothers and sisters summon us.
What is "Indian time?" It's always the right time. Grandfather has made it so. All we need to do is listen to the whispers all around us and we will know when to
take action and when to remain still."
This is a song played by Aaron White and Anthony Wakeman. I could listen to it a 1000 times and never get tired of it. The smooth blend of guitar and NA flute is beautiful!!!

Love, Light and Harmony,
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world where few hearts survive.
All I know is the way I feel

The road is long
And there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step everyday
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagels cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the worlds we know
Up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on what used to be
They live their lives, looking behind.
When all we have is here and now
All our lives up there to find.
The road is long
And there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step everyday
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagels cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the worlds we know
Up where the clear winds blow.
Time goes by
No time to cry
Lifes you and I
Alive. Today.
Love lift us up where we belong

When US Airways tried to merge with United Airlines in 2010, Continental Airlines CEO Jeff Smisek, called his counterpart at United, Glenn Tilton, to persuade him otherwise. "I did not want him to marry the ugly girl," Smisek said. "I am much prettier." Smisek was convincing enough then and has been leading the merged United Continental ever since. But now the "ugly girl" has found a partner—the much bigger American Airlines. And with few options left, the 35-year history of consolidation in the U.S. airline industry since deregulation in 1978 takes an unusual turn.
It is unusual in several respects. The new airline—poised to become the largest in the world—will be effectively controlled by management of the far smaller partner, US Airways. One of the most outspoken characters in the industry and at the same time the longest-serving CEO of any major U.S. carrier, 51-year-old Doug Parker has pushed hard to make the combination happen. The merger is occurring in spite of the fact that American did not want it and arguably needed it less than US Airways. American CEO Tom Horton will remain, as executive chairman, but only until the new company's first annual general meeting. While unions or shareholders have stood in the way of other mergers, workers and owners/creditors have long been convinced that Parker's proposal is the way to go, even if American's management was not.
Union support and management caution may become important factors as the two carriers integrate over the next few years. As convincing as mergers may look on paper, history shows that it is often much tougher to reap the benefits in reality. A lot of mergers in the last three decades did not work as smoothly as the companies involved had hoped. In fact, some argue that while the deals have been beneficial for the industry as a whole, they typically have not been advantageous for the two new partners. And among those on the bleeding edge of consolidation in the past have been American and US Airways.
American bought Trans World Airlines (TWA) out of bankruptcy in 2001 just ahead of the major industry downturn initiated by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. American subsequently shut down TWA's St. Louis hub and cut capacity roughly equivalent to the former rival's size. US Airways itself is an amalgam resulting from a series of takeovers. And it is still struggling to integrate America West, the latest carrier it bolted on, following a deal Parker engineered in 2005.
Among the more strategic issues the new American-US Airways combination must address is the shape of their future network. The carriers will have to resolve competition between US Airways' hub at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and American's much larger one at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport as well as their East Coast hubs used for transatlantic operations, US Airways' at Philadelphia International Airport and American's at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Nevertheless, the merged carrier, to be based at American's Dallas hub, plans to operate more than 6,700 daily flights to 336 destinations in 56 countries without giving up any of the current hubs.
Combining the fleets appears to be the least of the challenges ahead. Although US Airways operates mostly Airbus aircraft, American has already committed to a mixing of its narrowbody fleet, with large concurrent orders of Boeing 737 and Airbus A320-family aircraft, says Craig Jenks of New York-based Airline/Aircraft Projects Inc. In terms of widebodies, a merged carrier would add just one type—the Airbus A330-200/-300. American has simplified its Boeing fleet to 767s and 777s, with 787s scheduled for delivery in 2014. Adding the A330 will carry some cost disadvantages but also some revenue benefits, Jenks notes.
The industry's poor track record on specific mergers has led many to conclude that they do not eradicate fundamental airline weaknesses. But lately that perception has changed. The combinations of Delta and Northwest Airlines as well as United and Continental, among others, have arguably led to tighter capacity control. Even Southwest Airlines gave up its conservative stance and bought AirTran Airways in 2010.
The Delta-Northwest and United-Continental mergers featured similar divisions in fleet types. Analysts agree their examples—and fleet integration—will prevail over the long term. More broadly, recent precedents bode well for American and US Airways. "The challenges of implementing this merger are all challenges which have been shown to have been surmountable [in previous mergers]," Jenks says. "I do not believe there is a new challenge out there that hasn't already been addressed."
The merger represents an evolution—not a revolution—of the competitive landscape of the U.S. airline industry, he adds: "It's simply a continuation of an existing trend." Just three U.S. legacy carriers will remain, down from six only a few years ago.
As a whole, U.S. airlines have been able to orchestrate a remarkable turn-around in recent years. They have lagged behind European competitors—not to mention fast-growing carriers in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America—operating older fleets with uncomfortable seats and mediocre inflight services. But that is beginning to change. As their financial results have improved, U.S. airlines are beginning to invest in renewing old fleets. And offerings in long-haul premium cabins of United and American, for example, are again competitive with those of their European counterparts, which are now struggling financially and cutting back on service.

Press Release from HIT Entertainment
New York, NY and Miami, FL - May 26, 2010 - HIT Entertainment, a world-renowned provider of quality children's entertainment, and Albavision, a leading free TV network of television and radio stations across Central and South America, have partnered for the first time to bring a new, HIT-branded preschool television block to free TV in 10 countries across Latin America. The 90-minute block debuted starting in early Spring 2010 in Chile, Guatemala, Paraguay, Costa Rica, and Bolivia; and most recently in Argentina on May 1. Additional blocks will be added in Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru by Summer 2010.
This marks the first time Albavision-affiliated channels have offered a branded block of children's programming, and the first time that HIT's programming has aired on free TV in Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru.

"HIT characters have enjoyed immense popularity in the region, and we are very excited to bring our award-winning programming to even more children in Latin America with such a highly regarded partner as Albavision," said Gabriela Arenas, Senior Vice President, Latin America, HIT Entertainment. "With the success of the block on TV Azteca in Mexico, we anticipate an equally positive reaction to this new block by children and their families."

They yap, they yammer, they sometimes even yell, but where would we be without our trusty talk-show hosts? Their programs pep us up for the day ahead and soothe us into slumber at night — that is, when they're not shocking the heck out of us! Here are the biggest, wildest, funniest and, yes, even the most tragic moments from the great wide world of chat.
Diablo Cody and Oprah Winfrey are teaming up for an HBO comedy, according toThe Hollywood Reporter.
The untitled project is based on Dr. Julie Holland's upcoming book Moody Bitches, which explores the effects of drugs people are being offered and suggests effective natural therapies. The HBO comedy will focus on "the truth about the drugs you're taking, the sex you're not having, the sleep you're missing and what's really making you crazy," which is conveniently also the subtitle of Holland's book.
Hulk Hogan says he felt suicidal after his reality show ended and credits fans for saving his life.
In 2007, Hogan's life was caught in a downward spiral. He was involved in a messy divorce, his son had been arrested after a near-fatal car crash and then his reality show Hogan Knows Best was canceled.
"Everything got dark, everything happened at once," Hogan said on Oprah: Where Are They Now? "I was drinking alcohol very heavily. It just all kept piling up, it all kept mounting and mounting I didn't know how to handle it.read more
It doesn't get much better than a sprawling 42-acre estate in Montecito complete with ocean and mountain views, but if you're Oprah Winfrey that's just one home in a list that also includes locations in New Jersey, Chicago, Fisher Island Telluride, Antigua and Maui! In the latest issue of Closer Magazine we get a look inside the Queen of Daytime's Maui retreat! She purchased the historic Thompson Ranch in 2003. "Every minute I spend there I cherish," she tells the mag. Oprah is also said to get her hands dirty tending to the farms hundreds of acres of organic fruits, veggies and herbs. She says, "this is my sacred place. It restores my soul." Oprah also built a private road around the island estate so she can get her exercise in complete privacy! Sounds pretty A-list to us!

With Scandal star Kerry Washington hosting this week, Saturday Night Live took the opportunity to have a little fun at its own expense.
The episode built its entire first sketch around the concept that Washington would be tasked with playing Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce all in the same skit — a winking reference to Kenan Thompson's recent comments about the lack of women of color on SNL.
Oprah has responded to Jenny McCarthy's claims that she's probably on Winfrey's "sh-- list."
".@JennyMcCarthy don't have a shxt list," Winfrey tweeted. "If I did you'd never be on it. Wishing you only good fortune, love and light and watching @theview."
