It's been a little slow over here. We know. We are hard-core scheming new recipes, and new collections of recipes. We are kicking booty on our re design and it's almost ready. I can't wait for you all to see it. We are working hard behind the scenes so this blog can rock your socks off. Things are changing are we are really excited about it. WOO!
We have another West Elm recipe for you guys. Today it's this great Warm German Potato Salad. Let's talk real quick about how potato salad is kind of difficult. I don't really like the kind that uses a whole bottle of mayo. It's just too much. It becomes more about the mayo texture than about the potatoes. Gross. The other issue I feel like I have run across is not enough seasoning. So it just tastes like really bland and like you bought it at a grocery store. Ew. So now if you have those issues with potato salad I present you with this solution. This potato salad is mayo free, and simple and yummy, which I why I love it, and why I think it's perfect for summer. Head on over the West Elm's blog Front & Main for the full recipe!!!!!!

Homemade Rub, Pork Ribs, and a Rhetorical Question
Click on the photo to enlarge. Warning: May cause uncontrollable salivation and intense barbecue cravings.
23 comments:
I had gone off barbeques since learning that the blackened bits cause bowel cancer. But i think a plate of that will make up for a bit of surgery and few rounds of chemo or radio therapy.. :)

- Chef John said...
I like your attitude.
- July 10, 2008 at 3:29 PM
Eating great food actually prevents cancer and diabetes - the moderation is easier when the food tastes (and looks) delicious; you can have one human serving and feel not cheated. Too many people in US were raised on beef/dairy-rich but bland salty and sloppy fare - a diet proper for a farmboy working through the day. (One loads up on mediocre stuff to feel good, then washes it down with soda that has over half a pound of sugar in a 2L bottle)
Oh, and your BBQ ribs are now a background on my monitor, Chef. It will make everybody in our office hungry ;)
- July 10, 2008 at 5:56 PM

Wow, computer background...that's like the highest honor! i hope after they get hungry they go and check out the site. Thanks!

Mesquite will always and forever be my favorite for barbecuing! Around here we can go gather some fresh mesquite wood and toss it in the pit - maybe I'm a little partial, lol. I haven't had any proper homemade barbecue in a while. I hate being stuck in an apartment without a patio, and stovetop smokers don't do it for me! In the meantime I'll just stare and imagine.

8 hours over mesquite! I think that would be too bitter, wouldn't it?
What temperature would you say you were cooking at?
- July 11, 2008 at 2:53 PM
- DocChuck said...
Well, I did as you suggested and clicked on the photo. It did not cause uncontrollable salivation and intense barbecue cravings.
It only made me wish for good barbecue that is NOT ruined by slopping way too much "sauce" or whatever you call it on the wonderful pork ribs.
Of course, that's just my opinion as a professional chef who graduated from Peter Kump's Culinary School in New York.
- July 11, 2008 at 3:00 PM
- Chef John said...
I stand corrected... everyone knows the best "Professional" barbecue chef/experts are trained in NYC!
Did Pete have any classes entitled "More Than One Way to Do Things?"
Sometimes I "ruin" my ribs with a sauce glaze, and sometimes I don't "ruin" them. Depends on my mood.
BTW, I love your hat.
- July 11, 2008 at 3:47 PM
- Chef John said...
It was a very low temp, probably 225, and they were bitter at all.
- July 11, 2008 at 3:49 PM
"Is there any greater pleasure than eating perfectly barbecued, melt-in-your-mouth, pork spareribs, sitting on top of a fresh, cold, and crunchy coleslaw?"
Yes, eating perfectly barbecued, beef ribs. You know, the "Flintstone" size.

Chef John,
I'm looking at the picture and drooling but I do have an observation. The picture looks like baby back ribs to me. Spare ribs and baby backs are two different animals. Well actually the same animal but two different cuts. Spare ribs being the cheaper and more authentic cut of the two. I love baby backs but they are not really "ribs" in the deep south sense of pit BBQ. Poor people cooked the cheepest cuts and pork loin baby back ribs ain't. Spare ribs are. I think that, when done right, spare ribs are better. I am not a chef and I have never been to NYC. However I do know ribs and know how to do baby backs and spare ribs right. I would never use mesquite for pork. Hickory, cherry and apple are better suited to smoked pork. Mesquite is for brisket and all beef cuts.
I love your blog and you have taught me more about cooking than any other website. I hope you are real enough to let the student teach every now and then.
Best Food Wishes to you.

Hello Chef John & Company- I'm making your recipe tonight using country style pork ribs. My comment is a reply to the poster referring to grilled foods link to cancer. While I have had cancer twice, I've eaten grilled food in moderation since adulthood.
I come from a family with a background in the grocery business. Mt Father could field dress a calf in minutes by age 12.(Thank goodness we were spared that chore). We grew up eating beef twice a day, following bacon for breakfast. My Grandmother, the youngest of 8 and the only girl, also lived on this meat-centric diet, started smoking non filter menthol cigarettes at age 14. She began drinking bourbon daily about age 17. The only vegetables she ate
were canned peas, mashed potatoes& iceberg lettuce. She loved her chocolate & ate 1.5 pounds of Russell Stover chocolates every week along with her near nightly ice cream yet she never weighed more than 120 pounds. She loved her Lipton tea, an orange & black pekoe blend, liberally sugared. In light of all her bad eating habits you'd expect she would have been the one with cancer, but she lived cancer free to the ripe old age of 91. I have been eating a fruit & vegetable rich diet since my teens,have never smoked, and drank just occasionally, and was first diagnosed with cancer at age 37.I went 21 years cancer free, and find myself in treatment for cancer again.
So I'm going to get some cigarettes, bourbon & a big prime rib with mashed potatoes and gravy, followed by a hot fudge sundae, all washed down with some sweet tea.
Thanks for your great recipes!

It's quite funny how the docomo phone company used Darth Vader to star in their ad campaign.
In my mind the evil empire is Softbank.
My first beef was when I arrived in Japan they would NOT let me get just a SIM card for my unlocked phone. They vehemently insisted that I sign up with one of their "free" phones therefore locking me in for two years in which I'd have to pay for that free phone if I left. It added to injury that a co-worker managed to get a SIM only a few months later.
Secondly, when I foolishly decided to lower my Internet rate with Softbank, not only did it extend my imprisonment, but also auto-renewed my contract. Now in Australia once you finish your contract you can stay with the network as long as you like, or leave as you please.
Here, if I stayed with Softbank and decided to jump ship I would be subject to a 9,975 yen cancellation fee. Er, no thanks.
I asked what I could do. They said I could change my contract to 5,985 yen flat rate Internet contract (+ white plan, extra charges etc.) with no cancellation fee. Wow, pay even more. Thanks Softbank!
Finally I asked if I could go on their prepaid service. No.. Not with an iPhone! A phone that they provide, and locked only to them. What a fantastic company.
So, come July 10th, the last day of my Softbank contract I decided to cancel my phone. As soon as I left the shop my phone was completely dead. Thanks for cutting it off before the end of the day ********!
For virtually the first time since I got here I was phoneless, without contact with the outside world. Bit scary.
I was looking at my options, and what I had been thinking about doing is switching to a data only pocket wifi service. Most people in Japan rarely speak on their mobile phones, instead messaging by email so it's not as bad as it might sound.
I saw plenty of ads around, mostly with a blue Gachapin advertising the WIMAX service.
They talk of speeds up to 40Mbps, so I wondered if it was worth signing up with them. At this time of writing they had a free two week trial of their service, so it seemed a good time as any to see if I should switch.
They asked for a credit card in case I lost or damaged the wifi box. A few days later I noticed they deducted the 19,800 yen already. Thankfully before the end they did actually put it back. Maybe to test to see if the card was valid?
First thing I noticed is that the pocket wifi gets very hot. While it's not that big it is a nuisance carrying around an extra box and getting hot in this Summer swelter does not add to it's charm at all. Note that the running time is only 3.5 hours so best practice for me was to switch it off when I wasn't accessing my email, or have the power cable handy to recharge.
How was reception?
In most of the city areas I had no problem. At the beach in Zushi, the signal was extremely weak. Worse was underground. With a phone network you're able to get a signal at least at each subway stop. Totally dead here. Even on the first basement level of a pub in Shibuya I had nothing. Quite frustrating!
With a very unscientific test at home, I found that I was only getting about 3Mbps. In comparison my broadband is 20Mbps. For usual browsing with email and Safari it wasn't bad at all, but trying to download anything substantial would take quite a while longer.
So was it worth it? As much as I hate Softbank I sadly have to say no. For someone that's willing to put up with these shortcomings it may be ok, especially if you don't have any other kind of Internet access at home.
As of today I'm back with Softbank, BUT on their prepaid service.
I had a lot of hoops to jump through walking from Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibuya to get past lies and some not unexpected poor customer service. Yes, I AM using an iPhone (although for now my 3G), and it's working as I expected.
I'm paying even less than before. Almost half! So maybe I should thank them for that.

- Yield
- Makes about 25 truffles
- 6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
- 6 ounces (about 3/4 cup) fresh goat cheese (also known as goat fromage blanc, available in bulk at specialty foods shops)
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon pure lemon extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted, for coating the truffles
- In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until it is smooth, remove the bowl from the pan, and let the chocolate cool slightly. In a bowl whisk together the goat cheese, the confectioners' sugar, the vanilla, and the lemon extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, whisk in the chocolate until the mixture is combined well, and chill the mixture, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is firm. Form heaping teaspoons of the mixture into balls and roll the balls in the cocoa powder. Chill the truffles on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper for 30 minutes, or until they are firm. The truffles keep in an airtight container, chilled, for 3 days.

Trial set: Eric Abshire pleads not guilty to wife killing
9 comments
Finally a day coming to my auntie Heidie . May that day bring you and yours some peace......
Deleted by moderator.
He plead... Not guilty YALL GOTSTA FEEL ME!!!
SN - Tim Breezy don't trust people wit beady eyes like Abshire, can't be on dis jury mane
It sounds pretty obvious that the defendant's story is not going to hold up. "According to a police description of the autopsy report, she suffered 113 blunt trauma injuries--- including 23 to her head. None of the injuries seemed to correspond to the typical injuries sustained by victims of hit and run: horizontal leg injuries known as "strike points" created when a car or truck bumper strikes flesh and bone." I hope that there will finally be justice for Justine. A tragic loss; my prayers are with her parents, her sister, her friends, and those who loved her. May the person who will soon be found guilty of this horrible crime pay the price for what he did.
This doesn't go here, but I don't know where else to post this. I've already emailed Courteney Stuart, but it looks like the Fairfax, VA rapist linked to Morgan Harrington's case through DNA was finally caught:
"FILE - This composite of artists' sketches provided by the Fairfax, Va., County Police Department shows the likeness of a suspect wanted for 12 sexual assaults or attempted sexual assaults between 1997 and 2009 in Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The sketches were made in 1998, left, in 1999, center, and in 2000, right. Federal and local authorities said Friday March 4, 2011 they have arrested a suspect in the so-called East Coast Rapist case. Members of the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force arrested Aaron Thomas, 39, 'without incident' at his home in New Haven, police spokesman Joseph Avery said."
And from this Hook article ( http://www.readthehook.com/88650/hes-still-here-and-other-revelations-ha... ):
"This composite sketch of a suspect in the Harrington case was created from the description given by the victim in a 2005 rape in Fairfax. DNA evidence links this unknown man to both crimes."
So are we saying then that Morgan's killer has been found??????
(If I'm mistaken about this then my apologies, and please delete this post.)
C- I saw this man's composite sketch this morning in the online edition of the NY Post and emailed the link to the Va. State Police website. The "East Coast Rapist" looks just like the composite sketch of the Harrington case sketch. Let's hope.
It seems pretty obvious to me that they're one and the same. I excerpted quotes from both sources that show how they overlap. BUT, I could be wrong. I'm just surprised this has gone relatively ignored here. You're the only one who's responded to this and I posted it this weekend. Why does nobody care? A serial rapist with ties to Virginia and Fairfax with a composite sketch that looks like the one listed in the Harrington case.....and where the only reason they supposedly have that sketch in the Harrington case is due to DNA traces found somewhere along the way in the case that linked up to a Fairfax guy. Hello. Yet, nobody's saying anything about this here. Why??
It sure would be nice if that location could be determined. If it was outside I'm sure all evidence is probably degraded by now. But if it could be found, Eric would have to find another explanation for her death. Not that anyone believes his current story.

Born: 1930, Hamburg, Germany
Describes how her family obtained visas to emigrate to Albania [Interview: 1990]
Amid intensifying anti-Jewish measures and the 1938 Kristallnacht ("Night of Broken Glass") pogrom, Johanna's family decided to leave Germany. They obtained visas for Albania, crossed into Italy, and sailed in 1939. They remained in Albania under the Italian occupation and, after Italy surrendered in 1943, under German occupation. The family was liberated after a battle between the Germans and Albanian partisans in December 1944.

The river itself is beautiful; I wish the photographer had taken more pictures of the birds and villages and crops along its banks. It was hard to believe that we were actually on the Nile.
Simon, our guide, was great. I was soooooo glad we weren't in the other boat; their guide was a jerk and wouldn't let them flip or do anything interesting. Simon had a little too much fun flipping us without warning, but it made the day interesting. We went over Bujagali Falls, and survived the lower section of Itanda, which means, "The Bad Place" in the local language. They wouldn't let us do all of Itanda - it's a Class VI rapid and apparently people actually have died there. It was the most fun of the entire day - we all wanted to do it again, but no. (Apparently Prince William asked the same thing. Wonder if they told him, "no.")

Of course you can't take flip flops on a river that strong, but it's pretty stupid to expect your clients to walk over a stretch of rocky land without their Chacos. Especially when one guide says the guides don't wear shoes, but he just happens to wear them anyway. Grrr. My feet were Not Happy on the climb up the 150-foot muddy cliff at the end. But all in all it was a great day, so much fun, and I would definitely do it again. Although I want to check off the Zambezi first...
Today makes four years since I moved to Austin, Texas. Best decision I ever made. We drove four days straight from Connecticut, and when I crossed the border at Texarkana, I got out and kissed the ground. Amen and amen.
Oh, my. All I have to say about this is that if you can't take the heat in Taylor, you should get yourself to some yuppie place that should have wireless access. And that I cannot wait to get myself to Taylor in a couple of weeks...
It's Memorial Day back home. Good to remember sacrifices, and to be thankful for those who serve us now. Be safe, Andrew and Nathan and all the rest of y'all who are far from your families today.
Quelle journee! I left Goma on Saturday morning, crossed the border with no problems whatsoever, spent the night in Gisenyi, and caught a ride to Kigali with Human Rights Nick early Sunday morning. It was SO NICE to not have to take the bus -- it took about half the time and I didn't have to listen to any theological and/or political discussions. Plus Nick backed over a moto-taxi (and its driver) at the gas station in Ruhengeri. Nobody was hurt and the gas station guys urged us to drive away before the driver could get his moto started, so I guess it was okay. Poor Nick's going to be hearing about it for awhile, though.
And just like that I'm gone. Last night was sad. Really sad. I said good-bye to Aime and cried, then went by to say good-bye to my friend Mama Helene. She gave me a picture of herself and her four sons and said she wanted me to have it to remember her by. So I cried some more, pretty much all the way home on my last motorbike taxi ride. But, wow, what a view.
It's my last day in Goma. So strange to be leaving. I've been running around nonstop for the last two days, and today won't be terribly different. The Other Diplomat got on a plane this afternoon and the gang is all going out for fondue at Doga tonight and tomorrow I will cross the border and that will be it. My original plan was to go straight to Kigali tomorrow morning, but Human Rights Nick offered me a ride early Sunday and since that's free, I'm crossing to Gisenyi tomorrow, staying there overnight, and riding up to Kig on Sunday. Then it's a few good-byes in town and a trip to Amahoro ava Hejuru and off to Kampala Monday night. Then Tuesday rafting the source of the Nile, Wednesday shopping in Kampala, and conducting the last interview on Thursday. By this time next Friday I'll be in London.
What I love most about Africa is the stars.
We got the land!!!! The Sake pygmies will now have a place to live and to grow food. We went out to visit the site this morning and it is awesome - one border is a river that flows into Lake Kivu, and the other side is up against the road, so no one can challenge their rights of access. There's a stream flowing through the land which will make irrigation easy. And plus it's just beautiful. I will write more about this later when I have more time, but suffice it to say that today was a Good Day.
So Lloyd Bentsen and Clifford Antone passed away on the same day. Bull Moose has a nice tribute to the former, and the Statesman covers the latter's amazing contributions to the Austin music scene. One of the last of the great, old-school Texas Democrats and one of the heroes of Austin music, gone all at once. What a sad day.
I just learned something awful:
Completely rocking my world right now are none other than Germany's Eurovision Song Contest entry, German country cover band Texas Lightning. It's embarrassing. And true.
Today makes ten years since I graduated from high school. Daddy wrote last week to say that an invitation to our ten-year class reunion arrived in the mail. Ten years? Yikes. Where did that time go? Oh, right. School, school, and more school. Anyway, I don't know if I'll make it to the reunion or not. I've kept in touch with most high school friends, and it's scheduled for homecoming weekend, which will probably conflict with a home game. Although I have to admit to a certain curiosity as to whether the diplomas still feature two Confederate flags...
Mawe Hai is a subsidiary of DOCS that deals with agricultural development. They distribute seeds in Goma town for people who still have land (not rocks) in their gardens, and their agronomists run a demonstration farm about 15 miles outside of Goma on the edge of the lake. They use the plot to test different methods of farming and irrigation, to try out new seed varieties, and to teach widows, rape victims who've been treated at DOCS, and others sustainable farming techniques specifically geared to dealing with the rocky volcanic soil around Goma. "Mawe Hai" means "Living Stones" in Kiswahili, which is such a wonderful name for an organization that is bringing life out of the rocks. When people learn how to effectively farm the land, they return to their communities, share their knowledge, and food production improves for entire villages.
Spent most of Friday with a group from Minnesota. They are all students at a small college that used to be a Bible college, but is now a liberal arts school. I walked into the computer room at DOCS on Friday and it was full of American college students. It was kindof surreal. The first question their professor asked me (after my name and all that) was, "Are you a Christian?" Second question: "And what local church are you active in?"
Since I have very little to blog about today, I'm posting this super picture my sister took on her trip to Groom this week. I can't wait to be home!
My Q-tip supply is low. My flip-flops are changing color. My iPod pretends to erase itself, only to come back to life for twenty minutes every third day. Clearly, it's time to go home. Two weeks to go. To that end, since it's been awhile since I posted a list, here are:
I guess I've gotten used to saying no. But I've been noticing it a lot more this week. I don't know what to do. On the one hand, you know people need money. On the other, you know if you give them money, they'll expect more tomorrow – as will 25 of their closest friends and relatives. Part of me rebels against that and part of me wonders why that's such a problem for me. It's not like it would hurt me to give a dollar to 25, 50, or 100 people. But I don't like that idea of creating more dependency in a place where the mentality is very much that of "there's nothing we can do about our situation."
So the ACL lineup is finally out. Not a lot of surprises at this point, but it will be fun to see the Raconteurs and see if they live up to the hype.
So the ACL lineup is out as a leak, for the most part. I'm excited to see Explosions in the Sky, Okkervil River, and Centro-Matic, along with the usual suspects and all that. But I think the Bonnaroo lineup is way more interesting and risky. They've got Amadou and Miriam AND the Refugee AllStars of Sierra Leone, whom I'm dying to see. It's so close to Franklin. If only I didn't have objections to sleeping in a muddy field for three days. And if it weren't the weekend that youth camp ends...
So I completely failed to write about the crazy trip home on Saturday. After waking up at 5, heading to the airport at 6, and waiting in line until after 7:30 to check in bags for an 8:30 flight (This is normal for Kenya Airways, although when I saw Think Tank Jason in line for his flight to Lusaka, he told me he had actually missed a flight due to their unbelievably poor service.). Miraculously, my bags made it to Kigali on the same flight and the three-hour bus ride back to Congo. The bus ride was long and painful (There are bruises on my kneecaps!) and featured a two-hour discussion of Congolese politics, complete with accusations that a Kinyarwanda speaker wasn't "really Congolese." This election is going to go great.
This is so funny, but it makes me want to cry.
Pretty much every evening since arriving in Goma, I've gone for a walk or run just before sunset. It's a good time to get exercise. More importantly, it's the time you're least likely to scandalize the neighborhood by wearing shorts or running shoes. It's always beautiful – you never know what flowers will have bloomed that day or what birds you'll hear or how the light and clouds will create shadows and colors in the sky.
Bertha died. On Friday. She was 97. Mom and my sister are going to the funeral today. I'm sad that I can't be going with them.
Days left in Africa (this time): 20
So I got published....
I am enjoying a lovely holiday in Kenya. Dinner with the Buckner group last night, ran into my friend Kat today for lunch, and am interviewing my friend Jason tomorrow. It's nice to see friends. And to have a break. And to speak English.
Hope. I haven't written about Sake in a week or two, because things have been happening really quickly and I didn't want to jinx it. But here's what happened: in order to help 224 families (768 people) to restart their lives by buying them a field where they can plant crops and build homes, we needed $2100. The Librarian talked to the missions committee (of which she is the chair) at my church, they voted for more than that, a couple others chipped in, and we have $3500.
Sunday was International Orphan's Day. E talked MONUC into sponsoring the day and helping with transportation, convinced the Goma Technological Institute to let us use their grounds, and got Celltel, one of Africa's big celluar service providers, to pay for everything via our friend Junior, who is Celltel's regional chief. I'm about to hop on a bus to catch a flight to Nairobi and don't have time to upload pictures right now. We fed 2,000 orphans lunch, enjoyed dancing, music, and acrobatics, foiled an attempted robbery, and had quite the time. For now, this picture says more about the day than words ever could.
Today, in fact. Off to Kigali to catch a flight to Nairobi. I really need a break from central Africa. Nairobi is perfect - it's a big, cosmopolitan, modern city with everything you need or want. Plus I have old friends there! I'll be meeting up with most of them, as well as with a group from Buckner that includes: 1) Jason, the associate pastor of my church in Connecticut, 2) Laura, my across-the-hall neighbor from the dorm sophomore year, and 3) a whole mess of Lubbock folks. I am so excited! And did I mention that you can get actual quesadillas in Nairobi? And see a movie? And go ICE SKATING? Plus Jason is carrying a package of stuff from my parents. Yahoo! Given that I will be catching up with old friends and doing a lot of shopping, and that internet access in Nairobi is pricey, posting this week might be light.
We're just not going to talk about it. Or the fabulous hat I am not wearing today. Or the parties. Or the fact that my cheese grits souffle is so much better than her recipe.
Today marks a Texas in Africa first: a guest post. Longtime readers of the site will have noticed that since the "in Africa" era of this blog commenced, the number of reviews of live music shows has declined precipitiously. This is due to the fact that it has been 107 days since I last saw a live show (which is about 106 days too many). But never fear, my Attorney has come to the rescue with the following fantastic review of last weekend's Merle Fest in Boone, North Carolina. Unfortunately, his wife The Librarian wasn't up for publishing her catty festival fashion commentary - if you want to hear us talk about inappropriate footwear, men in skirts, and various configurations of confabs, you'll have to join us at ACL. Thanks, Attorney!
Oh, my gosh, they made a movie out of the Bell Witch story. If you didn't attend any slumber parties in middle Tennessee in the mid-1980s, you're not going to understand how freaky this is! It was, like, the big dare to go stand in front of the mirror in complete darkness (usually in the bathroom of whoever's house the party was at) and say, "I hate you Bell Witch" I forget how many times and then you were supposed to feel her TAP YOU ON THE SHOULDER and you might see her in the mirror.
Friday odds 'n ends:
Next time you're in your city hall or county commissioner's office (or even in the trailer park that is Franklin's sad excuse for a DMV), remember what the chef du territoire's office in Sake looks like. No computers, no electricity, no secretaries ready to take your call.
After awhile, you get used to it. You get used to planning your day to be flexible so you can check your email while there's electricity and, hopefully, an internet connection. You get used to having food on the stove, ready to cook for that precious hour when it comes on. You get used to dropping everything when the water runs so you can take a shower, wash dishes, and do laundry. You get used to the constant requests for money, a job, candy, a ride, a scholarship to a school, any school, as long as it's in America. You get used to the bumpy roads covered in lava rocks, and you get used to being covered in the lava's black dust all the time. You get used to taxi drivers asking for your phone number or your hand in marriage when they don't even know your name. You get used to arguing over the price of everything, until you realize that thirty cents to you is the difference between eating dinner and going without for the woman selling you an extra two tomatoes. You get used to seeing half-naked children running along the streets alone, sleeping under tables in the market, and begging for food from strangers. You get used to the unbelievable disparity between the lifestyle of the aid workers (a lifestyle of which you yourself are a part) and the people they are trying to help. You get used to hearing about plane crashes and earthquakes and foreign army invasions and the misery that will ensue when (not if) the volcano erupts again. You get used to the fact that the place you go when you need a break is ... Rwanda. You get used to the appalling statistics – annual per capita income in the country is $120, infant mortality is 129 in 1000 births, there are only 500 kilometers of paved road in the entire country, 15 soldiers died yesterday. You have to get used to it. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning. But there's a danger in getting used to life in the eastern Congo – if you're not careful, you'll forget why you're here.
There's a fantastic film playing at the Alamo Downtown tonight at 7. The Boys of Baraka is a story of inner-city America, Africa, despair, and hope. In addition to being a great film, it also stars my friend Keith. Check it out if you get the chance.
I'm not a Neil Young fan.
Sharlande Sledge is the reason I believe God calls women to be preachers. I don't remember exactly when I first came across her prayers, but reading "Justice" made me realize that the shock and frustration and fear we feel when we're confronted with the terrible suffering of the world just might be the thing God uses to push us into action. She has a gift with words about faith that is rare and special and right.
It's a small, small, small, small, small world. Over the weekend I met Patricia, who's from Kenya. Long story short, it turns out that not only is Patricia from Kenya, she's from western Kenya, from a village near Kakamega. I said, "Um, I stayed in Eregi" and Patricia screamed. Yep. Here in the eastern Congo I've just met someone from the random little village we stayed in for the first week of our study abroad program in Kenya in 1998. Here is a photo of the house I lived in in Eregi. It's not exactly the kind of place you'd just stumble onto while traipsing about the countryside. We talked about the church there (her church, the place where I attended the first Catholic mass I'd ever heard, in Kiluhya), the dispensary medical center, and the girls' primary school we visited. We know it's the same primary school because we talked about the uniforms, and Patricia solved the lingering mystery of why some of the uniforms were solid green and some had green checks (something to do with the difference between day students and boarding students). Needless to say, we've become fast friends.

19% increase in consumption as people holidayed at home Pattern suggests most commercial activities were rebounding Consumption will be monitored closely over the coming weeks with Dublin moving to Level 3
Energy consumption in the hospitality sector increased by 19% during the summer months according to the latest Savills-Pinergy Energy Monitor.
The sector, which comprises of hotels, bars and restaurants, saw the biggest drop of all sectors between March and May due to Covid-19 restrictions, with consumption levels at 30%.
This rebounded to 37% post phase 1 re-opening of the economy and is now at 56% of normal levels as business increased during the summer months.
Elsewhere, energy consumption in offices remains at 77%, with a significant proportion of the country's office workers still operating from home. The retail sector has rebounded to 97% of normal levels of consumption – up from 92% in June – and the professional, science and technology sectors is at 76% – up from 69%.
Interestingly, consumption in the health and leisure sector (private clinics, gyms, sports clubs etc) has seen a small adjustment from 79% in Phase 2 to 77% to end of the Phase 3.
haryn McAndrew, Head of Energy & Sustainability at Savills Ireland commented:
"With 'wet pubs' remaining closed, it's not surprising that the hospitality sector has seen the biggest decrease in energy consumption during Covid-19 restrictions. However, since the 29th June, when hotels and restaurants re-opened, there has been a significant increase in consumption across the country, which can be attributed to the rise in staycations."
Peter Bastable, Director – Pinergy said
"As Ireland unlocked economic activity during the summer we saw welcome rebounds in activity across a number of sectors, and in particular retail & hospitality. Real estate and offices remain at close to three quarters capacity as many people are working from home some or all of their time."
Consumption will be monitored closely over the coming weeks with Dublin moving to Level 3 of the Living with Covid-19 plan.

As mentioned in prior posts, I've dialed back signifigantly in my sports writing career due to work obligations. However, below is my latest feature for VYPE Magazine profiling Memphis head coach Josh Pastner. He was a phenomenal interview and is doing great things at Memphis.
HOLD THAT TIGER: Memphis U's Coach Builds With H-Town Ties
by Austin Staton
Basketball is a way of life for the University of Memphis head coach Josh Pastner. At the age of 36, the Kingwood, Texas-native has spent time under the tutelage of perhaps the greatest minds in the game of basketball and has quickly become one of the elite young coaches at the collegiate level.
For Pastner, he has spent the last 18 seasons at the NCAA Division I level as a player, staff member, assistant coach and head coach while guiding teams to 12 conference championships during the span.
"I loved the game of basketball growing up and I recognized that my playing days would eventually come to an end," says Pastner, who has posted a 106-34 record as the Memphis coach. "I knew the adrenaline rush of coaching and I really focused all of my energy towards that at a young age and was very fortunate to be at the University of Arizona and then at Memphis before becoming the school's head coach."
While learning the intricacies of the game under the likes of Lute Olson, John Calipari and Kingwood's Royce Huseman, Pastner says that much of the credit to his coaching success came from his days as a coach for the Houston Hoops AAU program.
"Without that experience as an AAU coach, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn," says Pastner, who has coached nearly 25 NBA Draft selections as an NCAA head or assistant coach and AAU head coach. "I was recruiting, making travel plans and managing personalities so the program is something that has helped shape me today."
But for Pastner, his connection to Houston Hoops runs much deeper than the coaching experience – his father Hal founded the program while he was in grade school.
"It just evolved and it gave us a great connection and an opportunity to spend time together in different areas," he says. "I've cherished that time and my father is my best friend. I'm able to bounce things off of him and he is able to give me a good perspective on things with both the game of basketball and life."
As a young coach coming off back-to-back regular season conference championships and three-straight berths to the NCAA tournament, Pastner focuses his efforts on creating positive energy and a positive atmosphere for his players while setting the standard for a high-level of excellence.
The 2013-14 edition of his Memphis Tigers are one the three favorites in the newly-formed American Athletic Conference and boast a preseason Top 15 ranking in the Associated Press basketball poll.
Despite the success and expectations that Pastner has experienced, he's still humble to his beginnings and recognizes his past when looking towards his future.
"Not in one second in my wildest dreams did I talk about being the head coach at Memphis … and it happened at 31 years of age," he says. "When I got the job, I felt that my experiences coaching AAU basketball prepared me to be the head coach.
"That experience is because of Houston basketball. There are so many great coaches on the high school and AAU level and there are so many great players in Houston – it's a hotbed and one of the great basketball cities in all of the United States of America."

Oklahoma! And as far as quilting is concerned, everything is up to date in Kansas City. Can't wait to hear more about market!
MindeliciousMay 20, 2012 at 8:42 pm
Can you explain what Sample Spree is? I've heard a lot of talk about it, but being new to the quilting community I don't quite understand. Is it open to the public?
amy smartMay 21, 2012 at 1:57 pm
That is a great question – I wondered the same thing for years until I saw it first hand. It's basically a market where the various vendors (fabric companies, patters publishers, notions, etc.) sell their wares to the retailers at wholesale prices. You have to be a credentialed Market attendee to go, but a separate ticket is required. And the line is CRAZY long. I think people start getting

When architecture student Yi Yvonne Weng considers the future of the Amazon rainforest, she pictures a place that has not fallen to deforestation, but has instead been preserved for scientific exploration. And that exploration takes place on vast, mesh canopies that stretch across the treetops.
Weng just received the 2012 Foster + Partners Prize for her project, "The 6th Layer – Expolorative Canopy Trail." Seeking to create a non-invasive way to explore the rainforest, Weng proposed deploying ultra-lightweight mesh canopies over portions of the treetops. Using the natural space between trees, long mesh nests would drop down further into the forest and end in little capsules, allowing explorers to experience the forest from a different angle. Weng explains her intention behind the project:
Programmatically, the project is centred on scientific exploration and harvesting medicinal plants, which provides an alternative use of the forest without destroying it. At the same time, the positive occupation of the territory it enables could provide a level of surveillance that helps to protect both the endangered environment and the indigenous population.
Based on the concept art, Weng intends for explorers to get from canopy to canopy by hot air balloon, making the experience seem altogether magical.

June 30, 2013
The next burger you bite into might be a horsemeat burger, thanks to the U.S. government approving horse slaughterhouses to produce meat for human consumption. Valley Meat Co in Roswell, New Mexico, is being green-lighted by the USDA, which will routinely send inspectors to make sure it is slaughtering horses and processing horse meat in a "clean" way.
Additional horse meat plants are expected to be approved by the USDA in Missouri and Iowa. While horse meat can't legally be sold in the USA for human consumption, it can be used in pet food. It may also turn up in the U.S. food supply despite its legal status because it can be sold to Mexico for human consumption, then re-labeled and shipped back into the USA for use as a low-cost meat filler. Horse meat has already been identified in a scandalous food operation in Europe, where meatballs sold throughout European grocery stores were found to be made with horse meat.
Under the Obama administration, horse slaughterhouses became legal again
Horse meat slaughterhouses were banned during the Bush administration, but under President Obama, the ban expired (in 2011), allowing horse meat slaughterhouses to restart operations. Obama says he wants Congress to ban horse meat slaughterhouses in the USA, but then again, Obama says a lot of things he doesn't actually intend to make a reality (closing of Guantanamo, labeling GMOs, making health care free, reducing the budget deficit, etc.).
The USDA says, "it was required by law to issue the grant of inspection because Valley Meat met all federal requirements," reports Reuters, which also says that 130,000 horses are slaughtered each year in Canada and Mexico.
U.S. companies want a piece of that business, it seems, because horses can be acquired for virtually free.
Where horses really come from for meat production
So here's the scary part of this article for those who might be a little squeamish: Most of this horse meat comes from horse owners who decide to have their horses killed for a variety of reasons: illness, injury, or simply economic reasons such as not affording to keep them fed and cared for.
Instead of having the courage to give their own horse a dignified death — i.e. having the vet administer a lethal injection, saying a prayer and burying it on the land it enjoyed — many owners call the slaughterhouse to have the horse hauled away and subjected to a terrifying, gruesome death in a meat packing plant, surrounded by other screaming horses who are in the process of being murdered.
Horse slaughterhouses are therefore able to purchase these horses for a dollar amount that's far below the actual cost to raise a horse. The horses are transported to the slaughterhouse facility (which is actually the largest cost of the entire thing due to fuel prices) and then their throats are slit to begin the "processing" of the meat.
Yep, Becky's little pony that she grew up with as a teenage girl ends up bleeding out on the floor of a horse slaughterhouse in New Mexico. When expensive family pets are no longer needed, they're just sold off for meat.
Keep that in mind if you're considering buying a horse for your teen daughter or granddaughter. What will happen to that horse once your daughter loses interest in raising horses after discovering that raising a horse requires a tremendous amount of physical labor?
If you're a horse owner, be a responsible one. Don't let your horse get slaughtered for food. Because if you do, you not only cause your horse to experience a terrifying ending; you also may end up eating your horse the next time you whip up some spaghetti and meatballs

Exlent service
Staff and tidiness.
Overall except with the app I had very good experience
Waiting is more...no proper call...and everything is excellent...
Good. Didn't have to wait.
It was good and quick
No Covid-19 safety protocols were maintained at all.
It was all good.
Super response..
Very nice
Very nice responce with likhitas
Good service at affordable price
1) Digital X-ray small scratches are appeared, 2) L S Spain AP LATERAL view X-ray Film given very small size than normal.
Good experience, but they haven't given discount
Very bad the xray done was team not clearly and even dr mentioned it on report and then again I visit this center then they are saying that we donT have proper machines contact to dr ç for refund , again I have contacted to dr c but no response form your end...this is really bad and after doing the payment I feel cheated. This is not expecting by such professional organization
I'm giving low rating becoz I opted for female doctor but when I went there they told that they don't have any female doctors only. Plz mention clearly whether these centres have female doctors or not. There is no point in giving options when there is only male doctor.
It was nice experience with Doctor c ..i reached earliar and found awesome service by doctor ...well diagnos by them and got the report earliar as well...thank u so much ..beacause i couldnt sit for long time.
It's very useful.
Poor, test didn't happened
No proper facilities. Need to visit multiple times same day for different tests
Good response and help for every question
During Covid, in the lab there was no socail distance, no santizer at gate. People were next to each other. There was so much carelessness from hospital. If medical team is not take precautions what layman will think.
Hi. The service was good.
The link was not working.
Its very good experience with the doctors
Good experience
Good response
Cleanliness and Proper Staff management was missing at Tesla ... It was not a pleasant visit here ...During current scenario they should keep hygiene and cleanliness important.
Good experience,very helpful to locate nearby diagonistic center
Quick response and proper and timely follow-up. Thank you. The direction to the Tesla Diagnostics was not proper however please update that so other customers dont face issues to reach there.
You missed one of my test
Much waiting time in this pandemic period ...afraid of waiting there with no proper ventilation
Very good and responsibility
Lucid medical diagnostics doesn't answer their phone, their waiting time is too long..
It was good we got it done very fast
Nice treat nice nice good
Unprofessional Approach. Not maintaining the time.
Good support ☺
Lucid was good
Very polite and friendly atmosphere , radiologist is available there and they are providing the opportunity to meet radiologist and discuss regarding any doubts. Overall excellent services.
Good work
Great Service
Not good
Good service 👍👍👍
Very nice and thank u for this sarvice..*
Not helpful staff
Goodjob satisfied
Thank you doctorc
Good response
It took more than required waiting time. Being pregnant and waiting for so long is not appreciated. Please make arrangements for pregnant ladies atleast to make things move faster.
Gynaecologist should have more empathy towards patients.
They kept me waiting for no apparent reason at the counter on arrival. After waiting for sometime again approached them when they attended. It took 3 hours for getting the tests completed. Normally reports are handed by hand. This time they asked to come at 6 PM for the reports. Not a pleasant experience.
Very good
Very bad in handling the patients . Tests are started late and delaying the process. Reasons explained are ... "Madam came late", "technician having breakfast", etc..... Forget about AC, there are not even fans in waiting longue. Patients are sweating..... Please do not suggest the same lab (any other unit of Lucid) for me...
Good response
Staff was polite and nice but i think so the staff who was in a reception he only collected the simple. He is clinical staff or no? Other then that everything was nice
Very Good..
It's very good experience with their staff and clean environment
Billing and waiting can be organised better .. Had to juggle around to have billing and tests done ...Rest all its very fine
Veri nice 👍 fast sarvice
Its very useful
Hygienic and safety precautions strictly following. Communication with patients is good
In morning hours your services are not good upto 9 am.

Too Cool To Care
New Boyz
Label: Warner Records
Teen pinups New Boyz may never mature into Lil Wayne-sized talents. But at least they've outlasted one-hit status, thanks to "Backseat," their electro-pop smash with Dev and production stars the Cataracs. Alas, it's the best song on Too Cool to Care, although the L.A. kids work hard at pleasing all demographics, from dirty-minded swag animals ("Active Kingz" with Tyga, "Porn Star") to preteen cuties ("Meet My Mom"). This leads to some interesting moments, including "Beautiful Dancer," a babymaker ballad with Uncle Charlie Wilson where the Boyz talk about "waking and baking."

The Washington Demon girl's basketball team finished 8-2 in the first half of their season and shot 33.8 percent from the field and 54.2 percent from the free throw line.
But the break couldn't have come at a worse time for the red hot Demon shooting, as in the last four games they averaged 50.2 points per game, and were shooting just under 40 percent.
Washington starts their second half with 5-3 Mt. Pleasant, at Mt. Pleasant, which will mean when Washington starts their second time around in the conference on January 15 they will only travel once.
Demon head girls basketball coach Phil Long said after this break, practice won't be as long as it was.
"We try to incorporate a lot of different drills and stuff like that to keep it fresh, so we're not doing the same old stuff we've been doing prior to Christmas. We have a list of 20-30 drills that we use throughout the season, and we do so many pre-Christmas, and then some during Christmas break, and once you get past Christmas you no longer need 2-hour practices, you probably have them down to an hour and a half, and that's plenty of time to get things done," Long said.
Washington has the rest of this week off and next week until Friday.

Moving linux partitions out of the BSD disklabel/slice
Hi. Sorry for being away but my Toshiba laptop passed away due to a nasty power surge while it was hooked on the AC. Luckily yesterday a rich kid a few houses below my block dumped a perfectly new and functional Acer laptop because "it was getting slow (read: windoze rot)" and I took it and decided to install NetBSD 4.0 (I have a mini-cd with it) along with Ubuntu Ultimate 2.0 (I also have it's LiveDVD, didn't chose sabayon because it's disc was in the toshiba's drive when the "incident" happened and the disc was unrecoverably damaged as well) in a dualboot setup, but after installing NetBSD (easy stuff) I realized that the partitioner that comes in the Ubuntu Ultimate installer (and gparted too) cannot notice the BSD partition (my HD is currently laid out in this way)
as seen in linux cfdisk:
cfdisk (util-linux-ng 2.14) Disk Drive: /dev/sda Size: 120034123776 bytes, 120.0 GB Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 14593 Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ sda1 Boot Primary NetBSD 12000.69 sda2 Primary NTFS 85929.51 sda5 NC Logical Linux ext3 [Almacenaje] 20003.89 Logical Free Space 0.04* sda4 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 2097.42* [ Bootable ] [ Delete ] [ Help ] [ Maximize ] [ Print ] [ Quit ] [ Type ] [ Units ] [ Write ]

I am afraid it will be rather difficult to do what you want
A standard MBR only can accomodate 4 slices (1-4, or 0-3). An extended slice/partition is a way to circumvent the 4 slice limit, it just acts as a container for one or more multiple logical subpartitions or slices.
A MBR can only have one single extended partition, optionally in combination with 1 to 3 primary slices/partitions.
You have 3 primary partitions:
If you have a thorough detailed knowledge of the MBR and the partition conventions, you could attempt a conversion of the logical Linux/Ubuntu partition into a primary partition. But even then partition boot record (PBR) issue could prevent you from using it. This PBR issue could also affect you if you backup the current Ubuntu install.
The simplest way, for a more simple layout would be to remove the extended partition, and it's single logical one. Then create a primary Linux partition and reinstall Ubuntu, hoping it will accept your freshly created primary Linux native partition. But that means to goodbye to your Linux/Ubuntu data.
Both gparted and the Ubuntu installer probably have trouble with the NetBSD partition because of a lack of understanding of the NetBSD disklabel.
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
And there is another odd thing in the setup. The final primary partition (sda4 = Linux swap) actually lies within the region delineated by the extended partition, i.e., 14339 to 14593 lies within 11907 to 14593. This seems unconventional and might be confusing gparted? -- that's just a guess, I've never used gparted.
Also you suggested using the sda2 partition to install Ubunto / ... if you have no valuable data on this HPFS/NTFS partition, you could I suppose try to change the partition type to 83 = Linux native with Linux' fdisk (possibly make a Linux fs on there too), and see if you can install on there?
These are all just things to think about, as I'm not 100% sure what you want to do.
Changed the sda2 file type from cfdisk and did a mkfs.ext3, didn't fix it. Also I do have the swap inside an extended partition, but I never had issues because of that (I have been doing it before and neither gparted nor the partitioner inside ubuntu's installer had complained about that before.
About the contents of sda5. I finally got myself a HDD case and a 3.5" 80GB HD I had lying around from a long dead desktop PC and made myself an external HD, so my data is now in the external. Basically what I want to do is to do a dualboot (the external is for storage only, since this PC doesn't seem able to boot off USB) between NetBSD and Ubuntu, but installing netbsd first so that I can use grub as the bootloader instead of the NetBSD one.

The good news is that I figured out how to get myself out of the mess (I'm posting from Ubuntu Ultimate 2.0 x64). It turns out that I just needed to answer "no" to the part where it asks to put the latest BSD mbr.
BTW: I just dist-upgraded to jaunty alpha and I can tell, it's incredible cool, rock-solid and stable for a dumbed down distro.

The developmental psychology program offers broad training in theory and research. As a student, you'll work closely with faculty, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and undergraduate students.
In addition to the developmental area, we have a strong history and tradition across the department devoted to the study of developmental processes. Many faculty in all other areas have projects with developmental populations or questions and our clinical program is Child Clinical.
Research and Training
The program has a focus on research and a long-standing commitment to multidisciplinary work.
Students in our developmental research labs use structural and functional MRI, eye-tracking, psychophysiological markers of stress and health (hormones, antibodies), genotyping, cognitive testing, and video recording and analysis to answer questions about developmental processes in typical and disadvantaged environments.
In addition, cross-area emphases in developmental cognitive neuroscience and developmental psychopathology—as well as ongoing collaborations with scientists at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, National Jewish Medical and Research Center, and the Institute for Behavioral Genetics at the University of Colorado, Boulder— provide unique collaborative opportunities for students.
Students can train in social-emotional, cognitive and physical development, with an emphasis on incorporating biological processes. Specific areas of expertise of the developmental faculty include:
- poverty
- family processes
- parenting
- prenatal development
- attention
- memory
- executive functions
- stress
- health
- child care
- deviance
- the influence of genetic, social and cultural factors
In addition, several developmental faculty members participate in the developmental cognitive neuroscience (DCN) program and thus offer a cognitive neuroscience perspective in each of the content areas. Developmental students can opt in or out of participation in the DCN program, depending on the focus of their interests.
Professional Development
In addition to coursework and research, the developmental program offers opportunities for intellectual and professional development in a variety of formal and informal settings.
For example, students, faculty and post-doctoral fellows in the developmental program meet weekly to discuss their research. These meetings give students the opportunity to develop their ideas and presentation skills in a supportive environment as well as providing fun intellectual interactions.
To jump-start participation in research, students must develop a guided first-year project before progressing to a master's and, ultimately, a dissertation project.
Developmental students also can participate in other research meetings in the department, such as the Neuroscience Research Group and the Cognitive Research Group. Several of our faculty and students also participate in the Developmental Psychobiology Research Group at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
We have a formal buddy program that pairs incoming graduate students with more senior students for mentoring. Because our program is small, numerous informal mentoring opportunities arise naturally through shared interests.
Student Research
Students in our program regularly present their research at conferences (for example, the Society for Research in Child Development, the Society for Research on Adolescence, and the International Society of Developmental Psychobiology). Students are supported and encouraged in obtaining prestigious external grants to support their work and advance their careers such as through the National Science Foundation, the NIH pre-doctoral National Research Service Award, (NRSA), and Head Start and Child Care Scholar grants through the Administration for Children & Families. Further, students are active collaborators with each other and with faculty in diverse projects.
Post-training Success
Graduates of the developmental program are well prepared for independent research, scholarship and teaching careers. For example, all of our graduates from the past five years have successfully obtained postdoctoral, research or faculty positions.

Injuries and the X Games tend to go hand-in-hand. The risk of injury at the Winter X Games increased about 600 percent a couple of years ago when they added freestyle snowmobile stunts to the roster.
What could possibly go wrong with people doing flips on heavy snowmobile? A lot.
Last night during the X Games' "Snowmobile Freestyle Finals," Caleb Johnson didn't land a flip and instead had his snowmobile land on top of him. It was a scary scene.
Caleb got up and walked away from the crash, but he encountered problems later on:
It sounds like he'll make a recovery from his injury, which is amazingly positive.
Later on in the finals, his younger brother Colten also failed to land a jump. The snowmobile landed on his right hip, which is obviously a bad thing.
Colten should be ok too, but it goes to show just how dangerous the X Games — and doing flips on a snowmobile — really are. But knowing how these athletes operate, they'll both be back on a snowmobile doing flips in no time.
UPDATE: Caleb Moore died from his injuries.

Sound Off for Feb. 20
The biggest attraction for illegal workers is a job - and if it pays below the minimum, that's fine with them. They get by and support their families. But if they all become legal, then they will get minimum wages. Which of course means a new crop of illegal workers will flood the economy to take the jobs. And those new legal workers will go on welfare.
So how can a below wage job be a living wage for millions of illegals but not Americans? And why do people think that the government will ever succeed in controlling the free market forces?
What many fail to take into account are the work ethic and willingness to sacrifice that many illegal workers have. Like many parents they want the best for their kids. They will take any job. They will live a frugal life and save. And hard work does not phase them.
A sound off opinion stated that there are free and income based sliding fee clinics for eye care, including glasses, and dental. It would be a public service to those individuals who have neither eye care or dental care insurance coverage to know where these clinics are held. If the writer of the opinion could take the time to get these into the paper it would help children, adults and senior citizens.
While the state mandates eye exams for children in school, it is up to the parents to follow up. Not all children are covered by Husky nor are all adults covered by Medicaid. We have a problem in this country with uninsured, underinsured with dental and eye care two of the biggest areas lacking.
I would suggest to anyone who thinks we need to save all of the humans on the planet in another country that they volunteer in a local soup kitchen, shelter and see where the need is here in their own country. It is our responsibility as Americans to first help our fellow American before venturing out to save the world.
Today is Presidents' Day. Who do you think should be added to Mount Rushmore? Would you vote to have the first black president to be added to the national monument? Will President Barak Obama be the next installment to the faces of the Presidents?
What to do with the Sandy Hook Elementary School? What to do with the millions and millions of dollars of donations? It is my personal belief that the building should be made into a children's museum and the land turned into a playground and park. They could have one room used as a memorial for the shooting victims. The rest of the building should be used to bring joy and happiness to children. The only way to defeat evil is with love. Make this a place of love, education and most important hope. God Bless the fallen, the victims, the survivors, the families, the first responders the entire community of Newtown.
I would like to put this in Sound Off -- that the street department of the city of Torrington did a hell of a good job on the streets during the 2013 blizzard. They worked 36 hours and they should get a double, triple star for making our roads safe. You should get a pat on your back and a reward for what you did. All the roads are safe for emergencies considering the equipment they had.
Isn't illegal immigration a crime in itself? By all means, let them all stay. I guess that's one more benefit the illegals enjoy.
