- Description
Fossils in a stone block in one of the walls on the campus of FHSU. Many of these limestones are quarried locally - the fossils accumulated along with lime mud on the floor of the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway some 80 million years ago.
Something unusual happened during the stitch - the image was stretched horizontally. I tried to correct this by rescaling it in Photoshop, but I'm not sure I got the proportions quite right. It still looks a little squashed - the actual rock is undeformed.

Serves 10, with leftovers
Place the turkey in a large food-safe plastic bag inside of an ice chest large enough to contain it. To make the brine, in a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Gradually whisk in the water, followed by the thyme and garlic and pour around the turkey in the plastic bag, submerging the turkey in the brine. Tie the bag closed, pack the cooler the rest of the way with ice, and brine for 24 hours.
Remove the turkey from the brine and pat dry inside and out with paper towels. Transfer the bird, breast-side up, to a turkey frying basket.
Place the turkey in the frying basket in a 30-quart stockpot and add
enough oil to barely cover the bird. Remove the turkey (in the frying
basket) from the stockpot and bring the oil to 400°F; this can take up
to 1 hour.
Carefully lower the turkey into the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes per pound, about 30 minutes. Lift the turkey in the basket from the fryer and drain over a draining rack for 15 minutes.
Remove the turkey from the basket, carve, and serve.

More inmates going through heroin withdrawal behind bars
LA CROSSE, Wis. - The growing heroin problem in the La Crosse area is leading to more and more addicts winding up in jail, and going through withdrawal.
When La Crosse County Jail Sgt. Steve Anderson started his job 30 years ago, heroin addiction was basically unheard of.
Now he sees it every day.
"Well, at first, we thought it was kind of a fluke because heroin was so rare. But then the word we got was that it's readily available and it's cheap," said Anderson. "Now it seems like we've always got somebody in here coming down off from heroin -- at least one person."
When those inmates go through withdrawal, the jail is responsible for their safety. That comes with a price tag for the county.
"They're labor-intensive for the jailers, they're labor-intensive for the nurses. The nurses need to evaluate them. They take a lot of our resources while they're here," said Anderson. "The jailers have to check on them at least every 30 minutes, sometimes every 15 minutes. ... They may require extra medication."
Anderson has personally taken a few inmates to the hospital.
"[It's] terribly painful, terribly miserable. You would think after going through that, that they would never ever touch it again. But, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work that way," said Anderson.17741340
That's why Chemical Health and Justice Sanctions Manager Jane Klekamp said it's important to get those inmates connected to treatment as soon as possible.
"If we can get in touch with somebody when they're at that critical time, and they're more open to treatment, and we can get them in pretty quickly, then we're much more successful than if they say, 'Well, I don't really know if I'm really ready to go to treatment,' or we can't get them into treatment right away, so we have to wait for a week or two. Their motivation is decreased," said Klekamp.
But Anderson said the painful withdrawal symptoms aren't enough of a wake-up call for many inmates he sees returning to jail, just to go through withdrawal all over again.
"An awful lot of them we know on a first-name basis because they're coming through so often," said Anderson. "But how to break that cycle, we don't know."
La Crosse County Jail has a nurse on staff from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. who can give inmates medication to help with their symptoms. But if they decide an inmate needs methadone -- a medication that helps wean an addict off of heroin -- the jail has to expend resources to bring in someone from a methadone clinic to dispense it.
Anderson said it's not just inmates booked on drug charges who are going through withdrawal behind bars. Many of them are in for burglary or other crimes related to getting money to feed their addictions.

|Governor Steve Beshear and NOVA Center Director Ed Kintzel discuss the capabilities of the Large Chamber-Scanning Electron Microscope (LC-STEM) at the Center for Research and Development. The LC-SEM is the only one of its kind available for public use at a North American university.
Engaging Students in Research
Research is defined as the discovery of new knowledge that leads to the development of new technologies, methods, materials, and/or uses. WKU students significantly enrich their academic experiences by engaging in applied research, which is important to both academics and economic development.
Involving students in relevant research, especially at the undergraduate level, gives them marketable experience that serves them well whether they go on to graduate school or enter the workforce. It also enables the University to partner with area businesses and industries to find solutions to real problems, further contributing to the regional economy.
The Applied Research and Technology Program (ARTP), approved by the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education in 1999, began operations in 2000 and by 2010 helped the Ogden College of Science and Engineering increase external funding 14 fold to $14 million. The ARTP is a multidisciplinary program containing 17 scientific and service-oriented centers and institutes. The program is designed to prepare students for the knowledge-based global economy while meeting the research and technical needs of the community, state, and nation.
Each center operates within a cooperative and interdisciplinary framework to apply state-of-the-art science toward finding cost effective solutions to environmental and health issues and to the technological problems of government and industry.
Center for Research and Development
In 2000, WKU, with the help of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, transformed a run-down shopping mall into a thriving, high-tech business and research center. Today, the WKU Center for Research and Development brings together scientists, engineers, WKU faculty, and students for research collaborations. It is home to:
■ The Applied Physics Institute (API), a multidisciplinary center performing research and development projects in nanoscale physics, material science, nuclear physics, and cyber physical systems. The API is internationally recognized for the development of technology to detect chemical, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threats through non-intrusive measures.
■ The Institute for Combustion Science and Environmental Technology (ICSET), which includes the Combustion, Thermal Analysis, and Mercury Emissions Control labs. Services include polymer, fuel and pharmaceutical analysis, materials identification, mercury emissions analysis and control, and clean coal combustion technology.
■ The Advanced Materials Institute, which specializes in the analysis and characterization of a variety of materials and provides third-party testing of materials for regional and national businesses.
■ The Cyber Defense Center, which is dedicated to protecting important computer networks from cyber attacks.
■ The Bowling Green Innovation and Commercialization Center, part of the Kentucky Innovation Network. The ICC helps technology companies through preliminary business assessment, business development, and ultimately Capitalization (the ABCs of business development) at no cost to the business.
■ The Nondestructive Analysis (NOVA) Center, which houses one of two large chamber scanning electron microscopes in North America and the only one available for public use.
■ The Lost River Data Center, a partnership with Bowling Green Municipal Utilities, that includes a High Performance Computer Center offering businesses a secure site to locate servers and business critical data.
■ The Small Business Accelerator, which provides technology-based businesses with business support services and community resources to help them survive and grow during the start-up period.
More than 600 new jobs have been created as a result of the business growth at the WKU Center for Research and Development.
Student and faculty research
The University encourages research activities through programs such as the Faculty-Undergraduate Student Engagement (FUSE) grants. FUSE grants are designed to support undergraduate students' intellectual development by fostering active engagement in the areas of research, creative and scholarly activities, or artistic performances.
Students and faculty have presented research findings at national and international conferences, such as the American Astronomical Society, American Meteorological Society, and the International Congress on Scientific Research in Show Caves. WKU research has taken place on almost every continent and has been recognized by NASA, National Geographic, and the National Science Foundation.
Entrepreneurial education
The Gordon Ford College of Business is helping develop the next generation of entrepreneurs. The College offers a bachelor's degree in entrepreneurship, and students gain practical experience and engage in networking through organizations such as Students in Free Enterprise. In addition, four Centers of Excellence provide services and educational opportunities to students and the community. They are:
■ The Center for Applied Economics, which serves as an economic information access point for Bowling Green and south central Kentucky, provides a bridge between technical research in economics and the local community on relevant topics, provides fee-based studies, and engages graduate students in applied analysis.
■ The Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, which integrates academics and action research by developing collaborative programs across all disciplines and generates new venture start-ups.
■ The Center for Professional Selling, one of 13 fully certified sales programs in the United States as a member of the University Sales Center Alliance.
■ The BB&T Center for the Study of Capitalism, which is committed to educating students, faculty, and the general public about capitalism.
"President Ransdell was so interested in moving that [Center for Research and Development] forward. Now over 600 jobs have been created – good paying, high-tech jobs. "I think down the road this and the Gatton Academy are the two things that WKU will be known for that will be transformational in our community and our whole region."
– Kentucky Representative Jody Richards, Bowling Green

It's like I've been explaining to you guys: Transformers are not made to be transformed. It's better to buy real Transformers, because they CAN be transformed, but that doesn't mean you have to do it. If you get 2 of your favorite ones, you can display them in each mode and not chance breaking them or loosening their parts.
I'd say there are a few that actually ARE safe to play with - such as Leader Class Optimus Prime - or Scorponok (but it's pointless to transform him anyway). Masterpiece (20th Anniversary) Optimus Prime is also a really solid toy and can withstand being played with.
But hear me out: all Hasbro has to do is sell cases of these to Target, Toys R Us, and Wal-Mart, and those stores will keep ordering them as long as the cases sell through. If the toys break (especially after your return priviledges expire) they get to sell you another one, as most people won't take it up with Hasbro, and the item might not loosen up or break before your return priviledge expires.
I know I sound crazy buying duplicate Transformers so I don't have to transform them, but I'm going to start making sense when you break your toys and have no one to cry to.
With Ultimate BumbleBee, I've seen him and played with him loose now, but I was not convinced it'd be a good purchase for me - and yeah, the size / scale is also inconvenient like Figrin pointed out. If they made an Ultimate Barricade, perhaps I'd be all over both of them. That'd be pretty cool actually, with flashing police lights and strobing headlamps, not to mention having a Transformer that calls you "a Ladiesman" because that's not going to happen in real life.
But there you go. That's how it is. Until all are one.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
Bean and Mean
I contend that when an inexperienced turkey hunter encounters a good situation, he thinks, "Great, I'm going to get a turkey." However, if an experienced turkey hunter encounters that scenario, he thinks, "OK, what's going to goof this up?"
Sometimes, that pessimistic outlook seems pretty well-founded.
Four years ago, Steve Stoltz and I roosted three longbeards in the corner of a freshly planted Missouri beanfield and formed a plan. The next morning, we slipped in at dark-thirty, set out some decoys and readied our ambush. When two hens started tree-yelping just 40 yards away and two gobblers lit up in response 30 paces farther, we knew we were in great shape. The hens would doubtless fly into the beanfield, and the lovesick longbeards would follow, right down my gun barrel. It would be a smash for the ages.
But about five minutes after the birds started talking, some deer approached the edge of the field to our right and winded us. Of course, one doe started snorting. And snorting. And snorting some more. At first, the commotion didn't seem to affect the turkeys much. After a few minutes, however, the hens seemed to get edgy, and one began putting nervously.
Soon, my greatest fear was soon realized. The hens were spooked enough that they flew down away from us, into a large hayfield behind the tree line and right past the gobblers. Of course, the longbeards followed, and then all was quiet.
Now what? It was too open to move on the birds, but I wasn't convinced we could call them back toward our setup. The morning was cool and still, so we could probably strike a hot turkey somewhere else. However, I didn't want to leave an area the turkeys seemed to favor.
Stoltz and I had to decide how much faith we had in the beanfield setup.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

|Good idea Peter - thanks. .. already looped too.
As an experiment, why not take the intermediate 15' tip from a Rio or Airflo multi-tip line, reverse it and loop it to the back end of your shooting head? If you're using a 45' Airflo head, this will make it 60' and the loops provide the visual clues.
Airflo 45' or 35' head + 15' tip reversed + running line.
Nice find Jim! Figures Rio would have something within their incredible range of flyline products for the avid anglers of the world.
That design would prove out the back taper theory, and I will contact Rio about it.
However I foresee a couple of possible things to overcome. It would have to be made longer to make a difference since the length of that line (100ft, 105ft after replacing the Rio tip with a shooting head) is already easily reached without shooting any line into the back-cast. If it in fact allowed for a back-shoot then it would add distance, requiring more length. In short it is shorter than the casts we are already reaching without shooting into the backcast.
Also without a color change there would be no visual queue to tell the caster what is going on in the backcast, i.e. when the max overhang has been reached.
Yet the back taper is there and would prove out the hinge reduction theory plus it already has a loop for the shooting head. Maybe a spliced extension on the other end of the running line to make it total 150ft long, which is plenty to worry about in even the biggest stripping baskets.
Actively working on a two-hander basket for very long running lines. First prototypes look pretty freaky but I hope they will deliver. Fingers are crossed for field testing at boneclave.
Thanks for your suggestion Jim.
Juro, one running line that has a 6 foot head is the Rio Striper Versi-Tip. This is an intermediate running line, the head is .058 necking down to .042. Factory loop, and the color is light blue. There is no color change on the head.
If you want to test drive this running line, I can send it to you, or I would think Simon Gawesworth could be persuaded to send it you since it would be in Rio's interest to have you experiment with it.
|Ahhh, I see. I usually shoot no more than 10' into my backcast, and I understand now what you're referring to. So in other words, you're exploring the creation of a sort of "mini-line" with the characteristics of a head and rear taper that will prevent this hinging effect.
Chris -
Thanks for the reply.
I am experiencing no hinging with the loop connections, I should have been more clear. Factory loops from Rio and Airflo are excellent and I have been making my own non-hinging loops since way back in my years living in steelhead country where loop-connection sinktips are the rule for winter steelheading.
The "hinging" I am talking about the line hinging that occurs when you shoot let's say 15 feet of running line into the final backcast then make the forward cast expecting that thin line to turn the big head over.
To see what I mean, try shooting about 20 feet of the running line into the backcast and come forward. That's a line hinge. With a 10wt head the ability of the running line is much better than with a 12wt head (same running line, much heavier head).
This ability to shoot line into that final backcast provides tremendous boost to the power in the cast and it's well worth accomodating hence the spacer. It's also a tendency distance casters inherit from their single handed casting, and is not only effective but it feels good to be able to extend the length of line in the air.
Hope that made things clearer.
Not sure that it matters, but I was out yesterday afternoon in the LI Sound casting my 11'6" GLX using a short 10-wt. intermediate head looped (via heavy braided mono) to the Airflo non-stretch shooting line. While the head stops abruptly, as you say, the diameter of the shooting line isn't too much smaller than that of the head, and in addition I had reinforced the loop connection on the butt of the head (?) by wrapping it with Uni-Chord and finishing that with Flex-Cement; this made the connection at that end more stiff, and there was little to no hinging. Perhaps the added stiffness in the butt works similarly to the short reverse taper you're thinking about. I may try that idea with a 9-wt. floating head I have.
Two-handed overhead casting - 'red zone' spacer idea
When casting two-handed, or any casting for that matter - the overhang of running line past the tip is a handy way to extend the line and increase the load on the rod for the final forward cast. It's common to shoot 5-15 ft of thin stuff into the backcast just before the forward cast and shoot.
The problem is that it's too thin and most often causes a hinge, killing the cast. You need to (a) know where the limits are and (b) provide a more substantial material that hinges less.
Factory lines solve this by having a longer back taper, but the fishing (surf) often calls for a short head to punch big flies that have been stripped all the way in during each cast and I am not aware of a line with this configuration - short dense head with long back taper, different color. The lines we generally use are aggressive short heads (tarpon style lines) or shooting heads, and neither has much of a back taper if at all. In fact they are often 'square', or very abrupt. The running lines are very thin too... hinge city unless we stick to the head length, which as mentioned above needs to be short.
So here's an experiment I am planning - a 'red zone' segment in between. Either a reversed taper off a scrap line or just a beefy running line segment spliced in. The idea is to add a section of line that is the right length for the final slip-shoot technique so that when the end is at the hands the right amount is in the air for max loading. It's visually and mechanically functional for making the longest hinge-free casts with a two-handed rod.
I want it to:
So here's how it would go:
- strip the fly in, no fish this time
- flip the head out for the next cast
- pick up the line with a backcast
- one false cast, more if you are uncomfortable with a single
- shoot the line into the backcast to the end of the 'red zone' segment
- make forward cast from a repeatable and reliable length for max distance
Anyone ever run into a production line with these characteristics before I get scissor-happy?

By Errol Castens/Daily Journal Oxford Bureau
OXFORD – Smokers on the University of Mississippi campus have received their last warning.
After several years of trying to limit smoking to designated outdoor areas, Ole Miss officials last August banned all smoking on university property. The smoke-free policy was introduced during the fall semester with warning-only citations, but fine-based enforcement has begun.
"As of Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013, the University of Mississippi will strictly enforce our smoke free campus policy," states campus newsletter "UM Today." "Warnings will not be issued to those found smoking on campus; all violators, including faculty, staff, students, visitors, and contractors, are instead subject to a $25 per violation fine."
Donna Gurley, assistant university attorney, said the soft enforcement may have been a bad idea after fine-based enforcement that had accompanied the smoking-zone policy.
"We had a period of time when there were no fines, and I think some of our smokers took that as a vacation," she said. "There really wasn't a penalty, but in retrospect that may have been counterproductive."
Smokers on campus haven't given up hope of having the policy overturned.
Kathleen Henry, an accounting assistant in the Office of the Bursar, said that Staff Council's support of the ban does not reflect the wishes of most staff members and that she and other ban opponents haven't been allowed to speak at council meetings.
"We were very disappointed with Staff Council – furious, really – because they kept putting us off month to month, and finally it was December, and now the ban is in effect," she said.
Henry said opponents of the ban have not conceded the issue.
"Staff Council voted down a campuswide poll, but our group may poll anyway," she said.
Gurley said objectors are a distinct minority.
"We understand there are some people who are unhappy, but the vast majority of feedback we've gotten is very, very positive," she said.
Since the policy was announced in August, Ole Miss has stepped up its help for faculty, staff and students who want to quit smoking. The first intervention is a few minutes' worth of take-home strategies, said Student Pharmacy Director Sandra Bentley. A second program offers several cessation sessions and free nicotine patches, nicotine gum or other smoking-cessation drugs.
"It's important to have programs like this, because quitting is very difficult," Bentley said. "Research has shown that it's very rare that someone can quit on their own without any support or any help."

The Karate Kid Part III. I'd never seen it. I always thought it looked bad, even from the initial ads, and I dearly love the first two. I have all four, since the initial DVD release was an "all or nothing" dealio. (I'd never watched 3 and 4. I saw parts of 4 on TV years ago, and it looked as awful as I'd suspected.)
But we introduced Chux Jr to the series, and she wanted to see it all. She loved the first two, too. Even she was groaning about five minutes into this one, begging to skip to the fourth because it has a girl in it (and, partly because now that I was watching the damned thing finally and wanted to see it through, no matter how painful, we told her you have to see #3 before #4 because #4 may not make sense otherwise).
Long story short, this movie should be illegal. It's so bad, it transcends "so bad it's good" and comes back to "nope, it's just really bad" territory. If the US military weaponized this movie, no country would ever dare to get on our bad side again.
I honestly thought this was a cash grab by some hack writer and director who'd never seen the second one (aside from a few half-arsed explanations as to why they're back in SoCal and left their love interests behind, it contradicts it right and left) and only paid a little attention during the first. I nearly crapped my pants when I read that the same director and writer brought us... both previous Karate Kid movies.
Unless someone in Hollywood has the brilliant idea of a Karate Kid #5 that disregards the Will Smith Jr version entirely and goes back to the original timeline (Rise of the Planet of the Apes style), and makes a great movie about a much older Daniel LaRusso who must pass on what Miyagi taught him, this movie never existed in my eyes.

Steelers offense passes inspection, not defense, Art Rooney II saysJanuary 9, 2014 12:00 AM
Even though the Steelers have strung together 8-8 seasons and not made the playoffs two seasons in a row for the first time in the past 13 years, apparently there is 8-8 and then there is 8-8.
One year ago, Steelers president Art Rooney II expressed frustration with an 8-8 record that included five losses in the final seven games.
Wednesday, Rooney talked about his excitement for the 2014 season and how coach Mike Tomlin did a "very good job" as the Steelers went 6-2 in the second half of the season to finish 8-8 again.
"I certainly liked the way we finished," Rooney said in a 20-minute interview. "We, as far as I'm concerned, should be in the playoffs. The other side of it is we made our bed, unfortunately got off to a slow start. But I like the way we finished, I like the fact we got better as the season goes on, which is what you want. You want a team that's playing its best at the end, and I think, for the most part, that's what we did.
"It leaves me excited for next year already. We're looking forward to getting started and prepared for next year."
Rooney credited Tomlin for keeping his team in the playoff hunt right until the last game after losing the first four games for the first time in 45 years, and then going 2-6 at the halfway point of the season.
"I thought Mike did a very good job in the sense that, even through we created our own situation, I think that our team continued to play hard through adversity, and that's not always easy to do.
"They continued to fight, they continued to believe in themselves, and I think most of that is a tribute to Mike and the type of coaches and players we have here. They fought hard all the way through and, in the end, we came pretty darn close to being in the playoffs. I think we were playing our best football at the end, which is what you want to have happen, and I think that's largely due to coaching."
Rooney cited several reasons for his optimism heading into 2014:
• The improved play of a number of young players which he said shows the "arrow points up."
• The direction the offense took in the second half of the season.
"I thought we were pretty effective on offense coming down the stretch ... I would say offensively we made a lot of progress and I think that is something we want to try to build on."
• Ben Roethlisberger's play in the second half of the season, particularly getting sacked just seven times in the final seven games.
"He got better as the season went on, and that's certainly what we were hoping for. You have to like the fact that he stayed relatively clean in the second half of the season, and there's no doubt that's what we like to see. We'd like to see him last another 5, 6, 7 years, whatever it is, and, in order to do that, we have to protect him and he has to protect himself. I do think the way he performed over the last, let's say, three-fourths of the season, is what we were hoping for, yes."
• The play of rookie halfback Le'Veon Bell who "really looks to be the kind of player who can be a big contributor."
At the same time, Rooney noted the decline of the defense as a concern.
"Obviously, we want to get better. We slipped on defense in some areas this year, particularly in terms of stopping the run; we're not anywhere near the top of the league, which is where we've typically been and where we want to be. There's no doubt there's room for improvement there.
"We gave up too many big plays, there's room for improvement there. Whether it's getting younger or what other strategies we might use, we want to get better there. And that will be part of what we look at as the weeks and months go by here."
Among other topics broached by Rooney Tuesday:
• Roethlisberger might not receive the traditional quarterback extension this year. Rooney cited the team's salary-cap issues and then said, "The only thing I would say about Ben and his situation is I certainly expect that at some point we will do a contract, whether it's this season, or after next season or after the season after that, but I think Ben will be playing here beyond the current contract."
Roethlisberger's contract runs through 2015. Traditionally, the Steelers have extended their starting quarterback's contract when it has two years to run, as it does now. Rooney said that, while they've done that on a few occasions, it is "not set in stone ... it's not something that's automatic."
• Rooney is happy with general manager Kevin Colbert and the players he has acquired.
"We're not disappointed at all in the roster," Rooney said. " I think we have a lot to build on, and we're looking forward to adding to it in this year's draft."
• The Steelers informed the NFL that if they are hit with any more discipline because of Tomlin's sideline snafu in Baltimore they will appeal it. There were widespread reports that the NFL will dock the Steelers a draft pick even after fining their coach $100,000.
"I would disagree strongly if something like that were to happen to us," Rooney said.
• He would not comment on the fate of any more assistant coaches because "Mike is still going through the process." Tomlin continued to meet with players individually in his "exit" interviews Wednesday and has not yet met with his coaches. He fired offensive line coach Jack Bicknell Jr. Friday.
• Rooney also said would not discuss individual players contracts or status when asked about linebacker LaMarr Woodley.
• Despite criticism from many venues that the Steelers have mismanaged their salary cap, Rooney said it is not in "dire" shape and "I'm satisfied we handled the cap" properly and that is a reason they've remained competitive. Our goal is to put a competitive team on the field and, by and large, we've been able to do that."
• He does not expect the Steelers to diverge from the path they've followed recently in free agency. In other words, they won't be major players, but "we're always opportunistic."
• The Steelers are going ahead with adding a second scoreboard on the north end of Heinz Field for 2014, but, while they continue discussions with the city to add approximately 3,000 seats, even if they reach an agreement it won't be soon enough for next season.

Summer Food Safety Reminders
Posted By News On @ 6:30 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The Iowa Department of Public Health says summer is often marked with an increase in food borne diseases. The IDPH's data shows this is usually associated with summertime holidays. Washington County Public Health Inspector Jennine Wolf says to keep raw foods refrigerated until you are ready to cook it. When grilling, it's important to cook meat thoroughly.
Wolf mentions using a meat thermometer when cooking foods to get them to the correct temperature. She says to cook chicken at 165 degrees, hamburgers at 155 degrees, pork chops, steaks and fish at 145 degrees.
Wolf says cooking foods to the correct temperature help to enhance the flavor and tenderness of the meat. She adds to make sure you have clean hands to prevent cross contamination. It's also important to immediately refrigerate leftovers.

Well i started my season today.No rain until i was leaving the woods,the leaves are so dry im glad its raining now tomorrow should be a quietier walk in.I set up in what i thought was a good spot by 4;30 and just waited.5 o'clock or so i hear a roosed Tom some 80 yards away.I hear him sound off every 10min or so untill he fly's down.I think im in business and give a few soft calls and he cuts me off everytime.Im thinking less is more so i put the call down and wait.Not much later i see and hear the Tom.
As im watching him get closer im thinking to myself this may actually work.My first hunt,on opening morning and i have an honest to goodness Tom walikng toward me.Thats when the day went south.I was hoping the tom was going to hold his course and walk into a clear shot.But NOO he has to hang a left an walk behind a large rock and thick brush. I call again and he stops,sounds off agan then in full strut turns back the way he came.Ok this could work,once he clears the rock and the large tree he's going for a jeep ride.Well he clears the rock steps behind the tree an never came out the other side.
After waiting a short time i call again and heard Mr Houdini laughing back at me.He had to be a good 70yard pluss away.That was the last i saw or heard from him.
Before i left i paced the rock and tree at 32 steps.I think i will set up near the rock and tree in the morning.If i had set up there in the first place today may have ended differently.So i didnt get my bird this mornin but i will never forget hearing Mr Houdini spitn n drumin.I swear i could actually hear my own heart beating in my ears.
Thanks for reading,

Good Question: Is Pinterest Just For Women?
SPOKANE, Wash. - It's one of the fastest-growing social networking sites on the internet. Pinterest allows you to create online boards of your favorite things, from workouts to recipes to arts and crafts ideas. Your wife and your sister are probably on it. But, you may be asking: Isn't Pinterest just for women?
Janine Hamilton of Spokane is a frequent pinner. Like many of the sites millions of users, she's found the hazards of spending time on the site.
"There's this void where time goes when you're on it," Hamilton said. She's been pinning for about a year. She started on Pinterest as more of a hobby, then used it to help plan her daughter's 16th birthday party.Good Question: Is Pinterest Just For Women?
If you're not familiar, here's a Pinterest primer. The site describes instead as a "virtual pinboard, to organize and share the beautiful things you find on the web." You can create everything from clothes to recipes, shoes, crafts - even cartoons with language not suitable to show on TV. It seems everyone is pinning, from Arby's to my son's dental office. KXLY4's Kris Crocker has an entire board dedicated to her shoes! You just find something you like and pin it, or just browse to see what others have pinned.
"I heard about it from a neighbor and friend of mine who was using it," Hamilton said. "She talked about how addicting it was.
According to market research, Hamilton is a very typical pinner. Half of all users have kids, most spend 15.8 minutes at a time on the site. And, like most users, she's a woman.
"So far its been a very female-dominated site," Hamilton explained. "So, a lot of the ideas and things being pinned are from women. So, it appeals to women more."
So, Pinterest is an easy way to organize your online life. But, with so many flowers, so much pink and so many glittery, sparkly shoes, is there really a place for men on Pinterest?
"32 percent of users on Pinterest are men," explained Josh Wade of Spokane's Nectar Media. "And, it's just going to continue to grow."
Wade is in the minority when it comes to Pinterest, but he's doing his part to bring men around. He even teaches classes on the benefits of Pinterest to your company and your personal brand. He tells his students, Pinterest is not only suitable for men, it's a key component in doing business in 2012.
"You see pictures of flowers and recipes and crafty things because that's who you choose to follow," said Wade. "As men join and see the benefits of following and re-pinning other guys out there with cars and hunting and fishing, that little niche will go from there."
Not only can you dudes read about home improvement projects, cars and workout tips, you can look at the types of pictures you may already be looking at online - you know, the kind of pictures we can't show on TV. Don't like flowers and pictures of cats? Don't follow those pinners, follow other dudes instead.
"Its kind of like the guilty pleasure," Wade confessed. "They don't want to admit they watch the Bachelor, they're probably not going to admit that they're pinning as well."
As millions more get "Pinterested," it will soon be perfectly acceptable to ask people of both genders, "Can you show us your Pinterest?"

Hmmm. I haven't written a diary entry for a while. Here are some new geeky things I've done lately. First of all I finally gor around to setting up Samba on my music server in the basement (it's an old P120 running Linux). So now I can see the music partitions on my Windows machine. Since I use Windows mainly for burning CDs, this makes it easy to create nice playlists directly from the music server.
So far I have about 1000 mp3 files there. I'm slowly ripping my entire CD collection.
I've been making a lot of theme CDs. Tonight it's Jazz Vocals - mostly Lambert, Hendricks and Ross and bunch od Billy Holliday. I got a new MP3/CD player for Xmas (the Rio Volt 250) so I can carry a lot of music with me on the train when I commute to work.
Other than that I've been looking for new apps for my PDA. One cool one I found is flight planning software, that also can be used with a database of airports. So now I can use the PDA to plan my flights, rather than just "winging it" (pun intended).
I don't really fly far enough to do detailed flight plans - I just like following the map - but with the PDA plans are painless.
On programming front I'd like to create a better test suite for the Abra library, as we keep changing it quite a bit and without a good test suite it hard to say whether it still works properly (especially, since I want to make sure it works with Postgres).

Interdisciplinary Studies (EKI)
Interdisciplinary Study at Grinnell College and the Expanding Knowledge Initiative
A liberal arts education at Grinnell College integrates different forms of knowledge, approaches, and ways of thinking. Interdisciplinary (and otherwise integrative) study begins with the first year Tutorial and can culminate with a Mentored Advanced Project, which often crosses disciplines. Beginning in 2005, the Expanding Knowledge Initiative (EKI) was implemented to further enhance interdisciplinary learning. Under the EKI we have enhanced the curriculum through appointments of specialists in Middle Eastern Religion and History, Neurophilosophy, Policy Studies, Spatial Analysis/Geography, Earth Systems Science/Geology, Film and Media Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, and expect to make an appointment in Linguistics. Across the curriculum, Grinnell College faculty members have developed interdisciplinary and team-taught courses, including those addressing key EKI initiatives: Human Rights and Human Dignity, Environmental Challenges and Responses, and the new Policy Studies concentration.
Types of Interdisciplinary Study
Interdisciplinary majors, concentrations, Interdisciplinary Study Themes, collaboratively-taught and otherwise interdisciplinary courses, and interdisciplinary centers and programs provide students with a rich and coordinated opportunity to explore a significant issue from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
Students interested in an interdisciplinary major can propose an independent major or pursue Biological Chemistry; Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies; or General Science. The college offers 11 interdisciplinary concentrations in American Studies; East Asian Studies; Environmental Studies; Global Development; Latin American Studies; Linguistics; Neuroscience; Policy Studies; Russian, Central and East European Studies; Technology Studies; and Western European Studies. In planning their course of studies, students and their faculty advisors can refer to Interdisciplinary Study Themes to explore areas of interest, often of a highly timely nature, through courses and related programming offered by Grinnell's interdisciplinary centers and programs and the Faulconer Gallery. This year's Interdisciplinary Study Themes include African Studies, Film and Media Studies, Human Rights, Nationalism and Migration, Peace Studies, and Elections. Information about this year's Study Themes and their co-curricular programming is located on this site and also in the Course Schedule, located on the Registrar's web site.
Cross-listed, divisional, and interdivisional courses (such as CLS/HIS 255 "History of Ancient Greece" and HUM 140 "Medieval and Renaissance Culture," and SCI/HUM 295 "Space, Time and Motion," respectively) offer courses using two or more disciplinary approaches. A number of these courses are team-taught. Courses designated as "Humanities Core" employ traditional and contemporary approaches to the analysis of cultural texts, practices and media. More information about these kinds of interdisciplinary experiences is found in the course catalogue.
The interdisciplinary Rosenfield Program in Public Affairs, International Relations, and Human Rights; Center for the Humanities; Center for International Studies; Center for Prairie Studies; Wilson Program; Faulconer Gallery; and Peace Studies offer programming, courses, and community activities that cross the disciplines and explore within and without the classroom.

Interdisciplinary Study Themes
African Studies
These courses and co-curricular connections promote the study of North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and African Diasporas, by helping current students to integrate course planning in African Studies and to connect their curricular design to off-campus study and post-graduate service, and by giving faculty opportunities for dialogue and collaboration. "African Studies" is by definition a diffuse designation, so this Interdisciplinary Study Theme is intended to provide a broad interdisciplinary framework in which students and faculty can develop mutual interests around issues such as race and ethnicity, gender, evolution, statehood, democracy, development, ecology, resource management, globalization, labor, poverty, human rights, conflict resolution, performance, narrative, identity, postcolonialism, and visual culture.

In anticipation of the November 2012 U.S. elections and the nomination races preceding them, the Elections 2012 Interdisciplinary Study Theme brings together courses from across the curriculum to help frame and inform our understanding of these contests. Included are courses on American politics, economics and public policy, international relations and international economics, history, technology and food. Further enriching these courses are Rosenfield symposia and visitors to campus, both of which will intersect with the curricular offerings. And this interdisciplinary study theme will encourage members of the Grinnell College community to engage in political activity, but to recognize, as well, the valuable learning potential involved in listening to divergent voices and in observing first-hand processes and contests in which they may not be actively involved.
Two already-scheduled Rosenfield symposia - one on social justice, the other on the financial crisis - will intersect with the theme. Further informing the theme include a Scholars' Convocation on September 29, 2011, by Karl Gerth ("Can China Save the World Twice?"), and speakers on immigration and journalism. Faulconer Gallery will host two pertinent exhibitions in fall 2011, one devoted to Chinese propaganda posters, and one on Chinese Print Making. Additionally, the College's Program in Practical Political Education (PPPE), with a rich history of helping to structure partisan political debate and activity, will encourage the community to reflect on the past and to experience the politics of the present.
We will be updating our list of events throughout the year, particularly as we learn candidates' schedules.
Faculty members have already expressed interest in connecting a variety of courses to the study theme. We expect to add more courses for the 2012-13 academic year.

Film and Media Studies
Film is a significant contemporary medium of aesthetic, social, and political representation. It is at once a business, an industry, and an art form, which has played a vital role in modern thought and culture. Familiarity with the cultural, aesthetic and economic contexts of film and media enables students to develop skills that are fundamental to negotiating life saturated in image-based media. Film and Media Studies offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of film and media through a body of courses that expose students to the cultural, social and aesthetic implications of this art form. A wide array of courses is now being offered to provide a deeper understanding of film both as an artistic medium with specific formal properties, as well as a cultural artifact originating from a social, political, historical, and economic context. Further enriching this theme are the Cultural Film Series and visiting speakers.
Associated Speakers and Events
The Cultural Film series is designed to complement some of the courses listed in the document above.

Human Rights Studies
These courses examine the relationship of Human Rights and Human Dignity to issues of justice, development, politics, and technology. Several offerings encourage students to consider the definitions "Human Rights" and "Human Dignity" in relation to the environment, health and illness, poverty, artistic expression, and reproduction. Students will be encouraged to examine a variety of theoretical perspectives but also to engage with case-studies of international Human Rights violations and efforts to protect Human Rights. Politics, economics, development, social movements, peace-keeping efforts, and violence also form areas of interest in Human Rights courses.
Associated Speakers and Events
In addition to these courses, the Rosenfield Program in Public Affairs and Human Rights coordinates a variety of speakers and co-curricular activities related to course themes.
Participating Faculty Members
Todd Armstrong, Victoria Brown, Eric Carter, Jin Feng, Brigittine French, Chris Hunter, Kent McClelland, Wayne Moyer (theme co-administrator), Elizabeth Prevost, Sarah Purcell (theme co-administrator), Liz Queathem, Monty Roper, Kathleen Skerrett, Maria Tapias, Mervat Youssef
Nationalism and Migration: Histories, Policies, and Experiences Studies
This theme explores the ways that nations have defined themselves in relationship to the influx (or exodus) of large groups of people. Questions of immigrant identities, citizenship, national 'heritage', migrant rights, and the experience of exile are central to this Interdisciplinary Study Theme. These questions also have a local resonance, shown by the political and social discussion occurring in Iowa about migrant communities and the abuse of undocumented workers. This group hopes to use both local and international events as a way of creating a campus conversation about migration as a social process, while also featuring student and faculty work on the topic.
Participating Faculty Members
Victoria Brown, David Cook-Martin (theme co-administrator), Lesley Delmenico, Terri Geller, Katya Gibel Mevorach, Rebecca Hamlin, David Harrison (theme co-administrator), Susan Ireland, Andrea Magermans, Deborah Michaels, Gemma Sala.
Peace and conflict Studies
Understanding conflict and transformative possibilities for addressing conflict are peace building skills that are applicable across disciplines—-in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Peace and Conflict Studies provides a lens for understanding social change and upheaval, violence against humanity such as genocide, violations of human dignity, the impact of environmental, economic, political, and social decisions, and the critical role of identity and trauma in human interaction. The Peace and Conflict Studies Interdisciplinary Study Theme facilitates incorporation of this lens into courses and guide students in applying these concepts to particular cases which could be on an interpersonal, community, or global level.
Associated Speakers and Events
In spring 2011, Peace Studies has invited Professor Sudarshan Seneviratne from the University of Peredeniya in Kandy, Sri Lanka Department of Archeology and former head of the Central Cultural Fund to speak on the role of archeology in shaping national identity, its role in both creating and resolving ethnic conflict, and possibilities for creating a multicultural identity.
Related Programs
This Interdisciplinary Study Theme is administered by Peace Studies program, which regularly offers not-for-credit conflict resolution trainings, brings speakers to campus, and sponsors events that directly relate to the focus of the Peace and Conflict Studies IST. In fall 2010, there will be a 28-hour professional mediation training offered during fall break for students, and, space permitting, interested staff or faculty.

EKI Resources for Faculty
Defining Interdisciplinarity
Defining Interdisciplinarity for Grinnell College
The Expanding Knowledge Initiative challenges us to explore what exactly is meant by interdisciplinary teaching and research. This is a term that is defined variously, even on our own campus. Furthermore, however it is defined, interdisciplinarity is a moving target as disciplines gradually expand into new areas of inquiry and adopt as their own some of the theories of other disciplines and as areas of study that developed outside of traditional disciplines develop their own distinctive methodologies and theoretical base.
The College community will have to develop an understanding of the term that best supports the goals of the Expanding Knowledge Initiative, best serves our students, and contributes to the vitality of our teaching and research. Such an understanding will emerge from discussions, collaborative work among faculty from different disciplines, and from exploring different models for teaching. Already, a number of you have begun to posit some definitions. These have emerged in conversations, in the Common Grounds lunches, and in the department and concentration responses to the EKI questions that we posed a few weeks ago.
Over the next couple of semesters, we intend to provide some structured opportunities for College faculty members to explore the meaning of interdisciplinarity. You may find useful IDS_terms.doc resource manual by Carolyn Haynes, Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at Miami University in Ohio, of different kinds of scholarship that reach beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. We believe that these definitions can serve as a starting point for our own discussions.
Environmental Challenges and Responses Invitation
Environmental Challenges and Responses
The Advisory Board of the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies invites faculty members to explore curricular development and possible EKI faculty appointments that support topics related to "Environmental Challenges and Responses." The Advisory Board expects that expanding our offerings in topics related to this area will entail a combination of existing faculty members offering new courses and the appointment of new faculty members bringing pertinent expertise and/or freeing up existing faculty members to develop and teach these courses. Topics related to the broad area of "Environmental Challenges and Responses" include:
- Cultural and artistic responses
- Energy
- Environmental policy
- Ethics
- Public health
- Resource distribution and consumption
- Sustainability and sustainability science
In addition to the topics listed above, proposals for other related topics are welcome.
Interest in this topic is considerable, and at the Nov. 8th Common Grounds Lunch, participants asked for a virtual location where they could share their ideas and interests related to this area.
Interested faculty, students, and staff members are welcome to join our pweb site, where you can identify your interests, share materials (properly copyrighted, of course!) and form groups for developing courses, identifying issues of interest to the campus community, and explore the possibility of EKI faculty positions. This site is open to the campus community, and monitored by the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies.

Faculty Development Resources (Support for Teaching and Research)
Resources for Faculty
The Dean's Office provides resources for faculty development. Below are some of the resources (consult the Dean's Office site for more information most relevant to EKI-related efforts).
- Guidelines for stipends and other support for EKI course dev_0.PDF
- Instructional Support Committee
- Teaching and Learning Colloquia - The Office of Interdisciplinary Studies will offer a number of faculty-led discussions of issues related to interdisciplinary teaching and models for teaching interdisciplinary courses.
- Faculty-to-Faculty Tutorials: There is support for tutorials and mentorships with other Grinnell faculty or with faculty from participating institutions. You might also think about auditing a colleague's course.
- HHMI - Grants available to Science Division faculty, providing course relief in order to audit a colleague's course in a different specialty.
- New Directions Fellowship - Grants available to faculty within three years of tenure or tenured faculty in the humanities or social sciences who have a research interest that would require formal training in a discipline other than the one in which they are expert.
- Mellon Faculty Career Enhancement
- Common Interest Workshops- organized among the member colleges of the ACM and addressing issues shared by several of the institutions
- Mellon Faculty Workshops
- Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and Consortium for Faculty Diversity These two programs can help individuals and departments by bringing new scholars to campus for one or two years. Departments can take advantage of the courses taught by post-doctoral and dissertation fellows to free up individuals interested in teaching an interdisciplinary course. Other options are to team-teach with a fellow as a way of gaining expertise in a new area, and having the fellow provide advice on how to incorporate a new area in the department's or concentration's offerings. CFD fellows offer one to two courses per year (depending on whether they are dissertation or post-doctoral fellows), which can provide similar course release

EKI Resources For Students
The Expanding Knowledge Initiative is designed to enrich the reach of the College's curriculum and intellectual focus by exposing students to emerging areas of knowledge beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and increasing opportunities for integrative, capstone, and inquiry-based learning. The opportunities mapped on this website exist to help you draw connections across the wide range of your studies, what you learn in and out of the classroom, while in Grinnell and abroad.
First Year Tutorials
Every entering student explores in some depth a topic of interest to the student and the instructor, in a small group and an informal setting. Topics range widely from deforestation in the Amazonia to story-telling in Marguerite of Navarre's Heptameron. Although not all Tutorial sections progress in exactly the same way, most include an introduction to college-level writing, oral presentation and discussion, critical analysis, and information literacy. Many of the tutorials take an interdisciplinary approach to a question, problem, or point of interest. Some, like "Paper-making a Studio Approach" and "Studio Art: a Chemistry Approach" share a theme and organize occasional joint meetings.
Interdisciplinary Courses and Concentrations
There are several different routes that students interested in pursuing interdisciplinary study can take. Students can supplement a major disciplinary field of study with work in one of the concentrations; take courses in a wide-range of interdisciplinary courses as a part of a Plan of Study constructed with an adviser; or, again working with an adviser and the Dean, design an independent major that combines study in two disciplinary fields, or creates a course of study based on a theme or question that crosses fields or majors. The course of study must be planned with and approved by the student's adviser and the Dean's Office.
Interdisciplinary and other EKI Courses 2010-2011
Co-Curricular Activities
One of the goals of interdisciplinary education is to provide some methods and occasions to integrate the wide-range of learning and experiential education that takes place out of the classroom or in non-traditional classrooms. Talk with your adviser about how off-campus study,internships, and social commitments could complement traditional academic studies at Grinnell and contribute crucial interdisciplinary and integrative elements. Grinnell's interdisciplinary Center (International Studies, Prairie Studies, and Humanities), programs (Rosenfield, Peace Studies), and the Faulconer Gallery organize speakers and events that cross disciplines to explore particular subjects.
Second Year Retreat
This retreat for second year students provides an opportunity to reflect on your academic and life goals, to review what you are doing and to think about what you want to do next, to reconnect with each other, professors and staff members, and to make some new connections too. It will encourage you to think about how the things that you do in college-studies, extra-curricular activities (from sports to music to community service), off-campus study and internships, and summer jobs-can build on each other. We hope that you will find it fun, useful, a little bit unsettling, and energizing.
Types of Interdisciplinary Study
Interdisciplinary majors, concentrations, Interdisciplinary Study Themes, collaboratively-taught and otherwise interdisciplinary courses, and interdisciplinary centers and programs provide students with a rich and coordinated opportunity to explore a significant issue from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
Students interested in an interdisciplinary major can propose an independent major or pursue Biological Chemistry; Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies; or General Science. The college offers 11 interdisciplinaryconcentrations in American Studies; East Asian Studies; Environmental Studies; Global Development; Latin American Studies; Linguistics; Neuroscience; Policy Studies; Russian, Central and East European Studies; Technology Studies; and Western European Studies. In planning their course of studies, students and their faculty advisors can refer to Interdisciplinary Study Themes to explore areas of interest, often of a highly timely nature, through courses and related programming offered by Grinnell's interdisciplinary centers and programs and the Faulconer Gallery. This year's Interdisciplinary Study Themes include African Studies, Film and Media Studies, Human Rights, Nationalism and Migration, Peace Studies, and Elections. Information about this year's Study Themes and their co-curricular programming is located on this site and also in the Course Schedule, located on the Registrar's web site.
Cross-listed, divisional, and interdivisional courses (such as CLS/HIS 255 "History of Ancient Greece" and HUM 140 "Medieval and Renaissance Culture," and SCI/HUM 295 "Space, Time and Motion," respectively) offer courses using two or more disciplinary approaches. A number of these courses are team-taught. Courses designated as "Humanities Core" employ traditional and contemporary approaches to the analysis of cultural texts, practices and media. More information about these kinds of interdisciplinary experiences is found in the course catalogue.
The interdisciplinary Rosenfield Program in Public Affairs, International Relations, and Human Rights; Center for the Humanities; Center for International Studies; Center for Prairie Studies; Wilson Program; Faulconer Gallery; and Peace Studies offer programming, courses, and community activities that cross the disciplines and explore within and without the classroom.

As seen on Star Wars Celebration VI site, the event is being held August 23-26, 2012, in Orlando Orange County Convention Center once again.
The facility was fantastic, even though the weather outside was insanely hot. I find a few things odd about this - the fact that it's not around any anniversaries or even the 3D release, and that it's around when a lot of students are likely starting school (I'll be done by then, but it's got to be a consideration for everyone else). I really want to go, and I suppose there's still well over a year for planning, but with my sister getting married next summer and the fact that I have no idea where I'll be means there are some things to consider first. Still, I'm excited!

Our little community is saddened by the loss of a local soldier in Afghanistan. A friend of our family lost their son Tuesday in Afghanistan. He was killed by an IED and leaves a wife and two young children. May God keep his family and rest his soul. All our respect to Army Staff Sgt. Josh Gire and his family.
When we go turkey hunting this spring, remember we do so because so many died for our freedom and right to keep arms.

Posted: 09 April 2006 at 6:32pm
A constant problem here on IC that I find is that we are constantly saying he or she is wrong yet we are using sources in the Torah and the New Testament to prove an Islamic point of view. If we are commenting on the Torah please also add the Rabbinical commentary (Talmud) along with the verse. It pains me that we err everytime we are trying to prove either for/against another religion using their doctrine

Hmmm... long time no post. I guess this is largely because
I haven't really worked on much open source stuff lately,
or perhaps I've just been antisocial :P
The motivation to code my cool game has kinda fallen away lately, since I've managed to score a games programming job. I dare say I'll get over it soon and start again ;)
I've become increasingly disillusioned with the whole open-
source thing. The programs produced are almost universally
crap, and lately I've found most tools I want to use have
been much better under Win2K.
I think much of the open-source community has kinda missed
the point a bit. The single most important feature of open
source software, to me, is to be able to fix problems in
the program I'm using. Doing this requires a few very
important things:
I don't think I've seen a single open-source project which
has those two things. (This isn't to say they don't exist,
just that no program I've ever tried to modify has had it.)
The other thing that really puts me off, is that fact that
every time I try to install a new program (the latest one
was Anjuta2), I lose half a day trying to upgrade all the
things required for it to compile. I guess that comes from
everyone using unstable libraries all the time. (Unstable
library could probably be defined as 'Is installed on a
Linux box').
Anyway, that's my rant for today.

A taste of the MidEast, fine Kurdish cuisine, Turkish & Lebanese wines, an atmosphere that feels like home, with an air of the exotic.
This is Café Gulistan, located in Harbor Country, southwest Michigan. Join us for a memorable meal and stimulating company.
In the Kurdish language, Gulistan means the Land of Roses. It is also a name for Kurdistan, the homeland envisioned for centuries by the Kurdish people.
Café Gulistan was established in 1994 by Ibrahim Parlak, a Kurd from Turkey.
The rug in upper right corner was hand-woven by Ibrahim's grandmother and is over 100 years old.
Café Gulistan features a full bar and a unique wine list. It is the only restaurant serving beer and wine from the Mideast, as well as the only establishment carrying Turkish wines in Michigan.
Kurdish women's and men's traditional dress and a map of Kurdistan.
Outdoor dining is a pleasure on a summer afternoon or evening, bringing you closer to the garden.
