Again, there was a bit of a break in the blog. One reason is personal: I moved to London to take a new job. The other reason is that this time I went into the hairy issue which is call handling in Android.
I worked with the m3-rc37a version of the emulator and I can tell you that emulator crashes are really common if you play with the telephony stuff in this version. Don't be surprised if the example program distributed with this blog entry does not show the behaviour I promise but crashes instead. It just happens with this emulator version.
You can find the example program here.
The task I gave myself is catching incoming and outgoing calls which is easy. There needs to be just an IntentReceiver defined in the manifest and the onReceiveIntent method implemented in the intent receiver class. The manifest entry declares the filter for the IntentReceiver (again, the XML is mangled due to limitations of the blog engine).
[receiver class=".PhoneIntentReceiver"]
[action android:value="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" /][/intent-filter]
PHONE_STATE is a general intent for signalling all sorts of phone events. The example program dumps the event bundle when the event comes in. In case of outgoing call, the event is delivered with state=OFFHOOK when the call starts then state=IDLE when the call finishes (state is a key in the intent bundle ("extras") and its string values are OFFHOOK and IDLE). In case of the incoming call (you can simulate it by telnet localhost 5554 then issuing the gsm call phone_number command on the console) the state transition is RINGING then IDLE again.
So far so good. Having a notification on incoming and outgoing calls is less useful, however, if the caller or the called number is not known. This turned out to be a really hairy issue for which I did not find the answer (just desperate help requests). I remembered the good old Series60 days and went for the call log.
The call log is surprisingly co-located in the database of the Contacts application. Try this:
adb shell
#cd /data/data/com.google.android.providers.contacts/databases
# sqlite3 contacts.db
SQLite version 3.5.0
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> .dump
CREATE TABLE calls (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,number TEXT,number_key TEXT,number_type TEXT,date INTEGER,duration INTEGER,type INTEGER,person INTEGER,new INTEGER);
INSERT INTO "calls" VALUES(1,'+44444','44444+','Home',1200263250247,0,3,NULL,0);
INSERT INTO "calls" VALUES(2,'+4444445','5444444+','Home',1200263859817,5,2,NULL,1);
INSERT INTO "calls" VALUES(3,'+1234','4321+','Home',1200263990161,2,2,NULL,1);
There is the log. Unfortunately (or fortunately? :-)) Android enforces strict database separation for applications so the Contacts database cannot be accessed from within another Android application. Luckily, the Contacts application decided to share the data as Content Provider. There is even a facilitator class: CallLog.Calls. Dumping the call log is relatively easy after that (look at the PhoneIntent class which is an Activity that makes this dump on pressing a button).
Now the only thing remained to see how the database is updated with regards to phone calls. It turned out that the number is not visible when the call goes out or comes in (RINGING or OFFHOOK state) but is accessible through the content provider when the IDLE transition event comes in. I was not able, therefore, to capture the number of the currently ongoing call but I was able to capture the number of the call that has just finished.
Testing the example application was a pain for me. When working with calls, the emulator tended to crash on my PC without installing any applications. In order to monitor the event transitions, you have to bring up the phone application because it does not come to the front by itself. You can do that by pressing some digits at the emulator's opening screen. If you don't bring the phone app to front manually, you won't be able to answer or reject the call.
I propose that you don't run adb logcat while the call goes on - it tends to increase the chance of emulator crash. You can examine whether the number was retrieved succesfully from the call log by running adb logcat after the call was finished.

Hello Gabor Paller,
This code really helped me a lot. Now i am trying to make the same thing for SMS. Please tell me any good source of info or provide any sample code.
I also figured out that there is a little bit of prob in ur logic as it prints on one entry. U should modify it and should return array of strings or vector in place of just one string. Then before printing convert it to a single string with '\n' inserted for each entry.

I'm use the keyword incoming_number get the income tel num, but I can not get the outgoing number when I call somebody. anyone has suggestion?
Here is the code for get the incoming tel num:
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
String phoneName = bundle.getString("incoming_number");
String phoneState = bundle.getString("state");

You can get the incoming call in the emulator (code looks bad but it works):
It will receive notification of both SMS and Incoming calls.
Tried to past the XML but your blog wouldn't allow the tags.

Hey there... I think you;re logging the terminating number.
For incoming calls you want the follwowing
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
String phoneNr= bundle.getString("incoming_number");

I tried to configure you code with android SDK 1.1 and android 1.5 but it is giving errors at some points. What could be wrong in it ? It seems it does not have android.net.ContentURI; so it is giving error there.
- July 3, 2009 at 1:21 PM
- Gabor Paller said...
This is an old code, it has to be adapted to new SDKs. It is earlier than 0.9 (let alone, 1.1). I guess, it needs quite an adaptation.

I have a question I cannot find answer by now in google:
How can I check if the incomming call is forwarded (redirected) from another number.
I guess it's only some flag not the full info about the number.

Excellent job buddy...
How you done the part shown on the picture about answer and reject on incoming call? Pls send me on firstname.lastname@example.com
- October 8, 2011 at 1:06 AM
So now 4 years have passed yet I still see no apps out there that do anything with this info. There are 1,000 area code lookup apps -- that's a no-brainer -- but I want to see where the call is coming from BEFORE I answer it! And I know others have had the same thought.
But that would require two things, that ought to be fairly simple in an open source o/s: notice of inbound call (with number) and a way to write to the display while the phone is ringing. Yet with a reportedly unprecedented number of people developing for this platform, so far as I've seen this has yet to be accomplished. WTF?
So this is supposed to be the future of mobile phones? Screw that, I say bring back HDML!

Anonymous, there are two separate issues here.
1. Whether the functionality your are looking for is possible through some hack.
2. Whether it SHOULD be possible.
Regarding question #1, it is definitely possible. For example these guys have done it (disclaimer: my ex-employers). They implemented the feature in a variety of devices, usually exploiting some bug in the platform. Then we arrive to question #2: the implementors are normally silent about the method used because intercepting calls before the platform dialler does is considered a serious security flaw and they don't want the platform manufacturer to figure it out and patch the hole.

I have recently started using the British Newspaper archive on Find My Past. I decided to begin with my ancestors from Kendal and surrounding areas as I have some family names that might be fairly easy to trace if they appear in the local papers.
As I suspected I found some stories pretty quickly.
In fact my 2x great grandfather, Harrison Musgrove, appears several times during a period of over twenty years.
So for my first foray into "black sheep' territory I have decided to serialise Harrison Musgrove's exploits over the next few weeks.
The first story comes from the Kendal Mercury on Saturday 11 September 1841 and is transcribed below:-
Police Office, Wednesday – (Before John Wakefield, Esquire). – Three boys, named Harrison Musgrove, William Musgrove, and James Thompson, were placed at the Bar by PC's Hodgson and Brunskill, charged with stealing from the shop of Mr Court, confectioner, Highgate, a quantity of biscuits, loaf sugar, etc. It appeared that Thompson, who is the eldest, opened the shop door and let in Harrison Musgrove, who was without shoes, whilst he himself watched through the window ready to sound a retreat should Mr Court come into the shop, and William Musgrove waited on the other side of the street to give the signal should any policeman make his appearance. Unluckily for the young thieves Mr Court stepped into the shop and caught Harrison behind the counter; the others fled, but were subsequently taken. Harrison Musgrove and Thompson were committed for trial at the sessions, and William Musgrove admitted as evidence.
Well it seems to me that poor Harrison was badly let down here on three counts.
- Firstly – James Thompson didn't do a very good job as a "look out" and failed to sound the retreat quickly enough.
- Secondly – the other two accomplices scarpered at the first sign of trouble.
- Thirdly – his brother William (about six years older) is going to give evidence as a witness.
Next week – a report of the trial. Guilty or not guilty – punishment or no punishment. You'll just have to wait and see.

2012 NEWSMAKERS: Here's a look at some of the people, places and things that made headlines in the Cortez Journal in 2012. The 2012 newsmakers run the gamut from good to bad, tragic to successful, and survival. There were many, many fascinating and newsworthy stories from 2012; here are a few.
List compiled by Dale Shrull, Kimberly Benedict, Luke Groskopf and Michael Maresh; photos by Sam Green- Cortez Journal Staff
Bats driving students batty. Back in September, Cortez Middle School had a bat problem and not on the baseball field. There's nothing like the smell of guano in the morning to get students inspired to tackle the day. One student called the situation "nasty and creepy."
The Montezuma-Cortez School District had to spend about $24,000 to hold a bat roundup and send them on their way to search for another habitat. A company called Bat Control happened to be in the area so they darted over to the middle school and took care of the job.
The departure of Montezuma-Cortez School District Re-1 Superintendent Stacy Houser halfway through the 2012 school year left a void in district leadership. The void was filled by former Telluride Superintendent Mary Rubadeau. Already a consultant with the local district, Rubadeau brought vision and plans to the Re-1 administration building, serving her five interim months as a fixture of the district rather than a place holder. During Rubadeau's tenure, the local school board moved the district back to a five-day school week, hired new leadership for Kemper, Mesa and Manaugh elementary schools and the local high school.
Rubadeau was also closely involved in the work of finding a permanent leader for the district, tapping former Telluride principal Alex Carter for the job. Though her time behind the superintendent's desk was short-lived, Rubadeau's influences will be felt in the district for years to come. She remains a consultant for the district.
After seven years in prison, convicted murderer Farrell Greenlee, 43, is getting a second chance to try to convince a jury to acquit him of murder. District Court Judge Jeffrey Wilson on Oct. 22 vacated the 2005 second-degree murder conviction against him due to ineffective assistance of counsel. Greenlee was accused of killing Marcie Stewart-Jacobson by shooting her in the head with a shotgun in December of 2003 and was convicted in 2005. The district attorney's office has appealed Wilson's decision and Greenlee is free on bail pending the appeal.
Tempers flared and passions were reignited with the release of the U.S. Forest Service's revised Boggy-Glade travel management plan in early December.
Though the plan, the second in as many years for the 245,800 acres of San Juan National Forest north of Dolores, added back 20 miles of usable roads in an attempt at compromise, local forest users refused to be placated by the effort. An informal gathering with Forest Service officials and Montezuma County Commissioner Gerald Koppenhafer on Dec. 5 devolved into angry rhetoric and didn't produce much, if any, productive movement.
"We will go where we please, when we please and restore those roads ourselves," stated one upset gentleman at the meeting.
After a 45-day appeal period and nearly a two-month allowance for appeal resolution, the Boggy-Glade TMP is expected to go into effect next spring.
Teachers will tell you they don't do their jobs for any sort of recognition, but that doesn't mean when recognition comes it isn't appreciated. Local educator Lori Mott enjoyed the ultimate honor this summer when she was named Colorado's Career and Technical Education Teacher of the Year.
A teacher and local firefighter for over 12 years, Mott's nomination for the award was based on her dedication to building a Fire Science and Emergency Responder program at Montezuma-Cortez High School, according to Montezuma-Cortez School District Re-1's CTE Director Ed Rice. The program, designed to attract more students, offers participants a chance to move toward careers in fire science and emergency response.
Many students who have gone through the program credit Mott with the encouragement and inspiration that set them on the path to their current careers. A higher honor would be hard to find.
For more than two decades, Leonard Cain had a medical practice in Cortez. He helped countless patients over the years. In November 2010 he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
He handled his impending death with grace, courage and humility - exactly the way his friends and family knew he would. On September 24, at the age of 63, the good doctor from Cortez passed away. He will be missed by many.
The story and legacy of Ken Soper has been well chronicled this year. The man who coached Dove Creek football for a half a century was let go. Just two wins away from setting the all-time victory record for wins by a Colorado coach.
The Bulldogs went on to have a fine season with Shane Baughman as the head coach. It's a shame how Soper was treated after so many years of loyal service to the school.
Bill Stroud was recognized as the 2012 Citizen of the Year by Cortez Area Chamber of Commerce and the Cortez Journal. Stroud, who came to Cortez in 1949, opened the Cork and Bottle liquor store. He also was a teacher, coach, helped develop the Conquistador Golf Course and was involved in a number of other community projects over the years.
Congratulations on a well-deserved recognition.
Other chamber award winners were: Vern Rucker, the Unsung Hero award: Al Heaton, the Agriculture Business of the Year Award; Rick Plese, the Empire Electric Award for Green Business of the Year for Cliffrose; Osprey Packs for the Excellence in Innovation business of the year award; the Yarbrough Family, Excellence in Service Delivery award.
It was a year of highs and lows for the Cortez Cultural Center in 2012. The nonprofit celebrated its 25th anniversary in July.
But as the center made its way through the summer tourism months with its traditional dances, exhibits and other events, there were financial struggles.
Since 1987, the center has been a regional hub for lectures, art exhibits and Native American dances. It also manages the 122-acre Hawkins Preserve south of town.
But the difficult economic times of the past few years and slow economic recovery have taken their toll on the center's balance sheets, with grants growing more competitive and longtime donors cutting back contributions.
In November, the board chose to let go executive director Shawn Collins and operate indefinitely without a director to cut costs. President Shelby Smith said board members are committed to delegating management tasks to keep the community institution open.
The Cortez Cultural Center has been a Cortez staple for 25 years. It would be a major loss to the city and region if it went away.
There is, perhaps, no good way to handle the horror of being asked to leave your home while fires burn increasingly closer, but grace under pressure characterized the response of most fire evacuees victimized by the Weber and Roatcap fires in 2012.
The fear, worry and sheer panic that hundreds of residents felt during these fires is difficult for those not impacted to comprehend.
Nearly 200 homes were evacuated in the county during the course of the two fires, 140 during the Weber fire and another 30 in the midst of the Roatcap fire. Evacuees stayed close during the Weber fire, many standing at the top of Mancos Hill watching the flames creep over the hills toward their homes. Little drama existed while fire crews battled the Mancos blaze, as the community drew together to support one another during the week-long evacuation period. Drama, however, was a highlight of the Roatcap evacuation. Cortez Middle School teacher John McHenry was arrested after an altercation with a Montezuma County sheriff's deputy enforcing evacuation orders. The altercation occurred when McHenry was told he would not be allowed onto a blocked road. McHenry has been charged with second-degree assault on a peace officer, a felony, and misdemeanor chargers of obstructing government operations, resisting arrest and obstructing a peace officer.
With all the drama and concern over the two blazes, not one home was destroyed, thanks to the determined work firefighters.
Nothing lights the fuse to frustration quicker than traffic problems.
In 2012, two major projects tormented motorists. The Highway 160 paving project between Cortez and Mancos, then to the east of Mancos, led to lengthy stops.
But it was the South Broadway project that irritated both motorists and business owners for nearly half the year. And it won't be completed until the spring of 2013.
The project included an extensive upgrade at the Seventh Street intersection as well as paving, concrete and curb and gutter work throughout the stretch of South Broadway.
There have periodic closures along with lane reductions or lane shifts for months.
Business owners have been saddled with the greatest frustrations. With the lane closures, alternative access points to the businesses along South Broadway were necessary and many business owners reported a drop in customers.
High Country Auto decided to open a second sales spot on the east part of Cortez to combat the construction and access problems along South Broadway.
Even though the contractor and the Colorado Department of Transportation continued to promise that the project was on schedule to meet its mid-December completion deadline, it was finally announced that the project wouldn't be done before the end of the year.
Citing unforeseen problems encountered by the contractor, CDOT granted Lawson Construction an extension. The remaining work needs to be completed when the temperatures are warmer.
It's been a long six months for the people who use South Broadway to drive, work or shop. The inconvenience isn't quite over and that's not good news.
A young man with an adoring family, whose life was violently cut short. A trial or plea agreement will determine the guilt of his alleged attacker.
A murder leaves so many questions. A young man is gone and there's no greater or more tormenting question than "why?"
After safely delivering students to school for 40 years - 40 years! - Vonda Elliott called it a career as a bus driver for the Montezuma-Cortez School District.
Elliott, who drove more than 800,000 miles - 800,000 miles! - during her career, started at the school district at $3 an hour in 1972.
What devotion and dedication for delivering precious cargo for 40 years.
A Denver Bronco player named Larry Brunson visited Montezuma-Cortez High School back in May. It was a special homecoming for Brunson and the students since the former NFL player is also a 1967 M-CHS graduate. He was drafted as a wide receiver in the 11th round by the Broncos in 1972. He finished his career with 104 receptions playing for the Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders.
Cortez native and basketball legend, Kirk Archibeque continues to excel in his professional career in the European basketball league.
After leading the Panthers to the state title in 2002, the 6-foot-9 center has become a star overseas.
Preserving history is always special. Water has always been at the heart of this region's past. That's why the McElmo Creek Flume preservation project is special. The historic flume was listed on the Colorado Preservation Most Endangered Places List in 2011. In 2012, the flume was targeted for possible restoration. It would be nice to see it restored.
Mixed Martial Arts is one of the toughest, demanding sports in the world. It's all about punishment. To punish or to be punished. Sometimes both will occur in a fight.
For local favorites, Grant Hobbs, Elsie Zwicker and Isaque Martinez, 2012 was a great example of the highs and extreme lows of the sport.
All three fighters had overpowering, dominating victories in front of cheering home-crowd fans in 2012. But the trio also suffered devastating brutal beatings that left them battered and defeated.
That's just how it goes in the sport of MMA. You win some and you lose some.
There's nothing like being handed some good news on a platter.
That's what happened to Brian Puett, the executive chef at Mesa Verde National Park this year. He was awarded a Culinary Excellence Award from the International Food, Wine and Travel Writer's Association. He was recognized for his innovative techniques, combination of ingredients, flavor profile, texture and presentation.
Nate Funmaker is a western hat maker with a business in Mancos. He's a hat maker, a family man and a business man. And a good guy keeping alive an old western craft.
As he said: "I'm not a cowboy, I'm a craftsman."
It's been a tough year for Greg Kemp. At least the last few months have been tough.
Finishing a distant third in the county commissioner race didn't seem to matter much after he received heartbreaking news that his son-in-law was killed in Oregon.
Two people, including Kemp's son-in-law were shot and killed by a gunman in a mall as he worked at a kiosk.
Devastating news for Kemp and his family. A few days later, a gunman shot and killed 26 people including 20 children at a Connecticut school.
After the previous race promoter decided to take time off, Regan Tafoya raced to the rescue. As the speedway season at the Montezuma County Fairgrounds appeared to have hit the brakes, Tafoya, 37, stepped forward to take on the role of race promoter.
The Farmington, N.M., native has been racing in Cortez since 1997.
Great to see another checkered flag season at the speedway. A huge thanks to Tafoya for helping make it happen.
For the second-straight year, a Cortez resident froze to death in the park. Mary Rose Shay, 47, died in Parque De Vida in early January.
Her death was a tragic reminder of why the Bridge Emergency Shelter operates in the winter months and is essential in helping save lives for the homeless men and women of the area.
EASTON LaCHAPPELLE
It has been quite a year for Easton LaChappelle, the Mancos High Student. In May, the bright, creative science kid won second place in a national science competition for a robotic hand that he built in his bedroom.
Then he was off to Hollywood to film a segment for the Nickelodeon TV show titled, "Figure It Out," where he got to show off his robotic hand.
Who knows what he's capable of in 2013?
New Mesa Verde
Visitors Center
What a grand new visitors center for Mesa Verde National Park.
With its location just a few hundred yards off Highway 160, the fascinating history of the Puebloan people can be enjoyed easier than ever. The park opened the center in December but a grand opening is planned in May.
Hopefully, the new facility will entice visitors to still make the trip onto the mesa to absorb the amazing cliff dwellings.
We all have many reasons to give thanks. For the Samora family of Lewis, there's plenty of thanks but there's just as much healing that continues.
Tragedy was avoided. But not completely. A single-vehicle accident sent all three children to the hospital. Brett, 16, is still on the road to recovery. He's paralyzed and went to a Denver rehabilitation facility to help him prepare for a changed life.
The family has remained strong and the community has come to their aid. As the Samora family continues to heal, the community has shown its neighborly spirit and generosity.
Growing up on the Navajo Nation, Regina Harvey had to grow up fast. Her mother passed away when she was nine and Regina soon dropped out of high school.
She says simply, "I never had time to dream."
At 44 years old, Harvey returned to school in quest of her GED. Going to the Adult Learning Center in Cortez, Harvey achieved her goal and was the speaker at the GED graduation in June.
Coaching is in Bob Archibeque's blood. It has to be. He's coached several different sports as an assistant and head coach. In May, the veteran coach was recognized by Montezuma-Cortez High School for 100 combined years of coaching between track, boys and girls basketball, and football. Archibeque completed his 36th season as track coach last year.
A love of sports, a love of kids and a love of coaching. That's quite a career for the 57-year-old Archibeque.
Tragedy came to the Cortez area on July 20. Helen "Joy" Frazier, 21, was killed in a car accident on Highway 491.
She was remembered fondly by many in the community and there was an outpouring of love and support for her young son, who survived but was seriously injured in the accident.
A tragic day when a devoted and loving young mother was taken. But her memory will live on through her 7-year-old son, Jason Frazier-Farr.
Jason Truitt of Bakersfield, Calif. came to Cortez and left a very bad impression.
The military veteran came to the area to take part in the annual Hunt for Heroes organized by Dolores outfitter Bob Luna.
Truitt weaved a tale of outlandish tales of his military experiences, including saying he was a Navy SEAL. All lies, and he was soon exposed.
Hunt for Heroes brings in veterans from all over the country and gives them the chance to hunt big game in the mountains of Colorado. A great event.
Luna has been helping organize the event for five years. He was very upset about Truitt's ruse.
"It's the lowest thing imaginable that a person can do. The lowest of the low," Luna said at the time.
The organization vowed to improve its application process in the future.
Hopefully, the work of a con artist doesn't damage such a splendid event that honors our military veterans.
Chuck Melvin is dedicated to the K-9 Search & Rescue Team in Dolores. That dedication was recognized in 2012 when he was awarded the J. Hunter Holloway Spirit Award.
Melvin has been the team commander of K-9 Search and Rescue since 1990. This year, Melvin retired from being a full time teacher and spends much of his time assisting newer members in search and rescue and in the canine arena.
The award is given to those in Colorado who best embrace the dedication and mission of search and rescue.
She's a school resource officer. She's a Re-1 school board member. She's a mother and wife. And Diane Fox is a cancer survivor.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Fox received another setback. An infection brought on by the chemotherapy drug nearly killed her. Now healthier, she's returned to her spot on the school board and is working to get better and stronger everyday.
On Nov. 9, a massive uprooted bunch of Christmas spirit rolled into the First National Bank parking lot.
The Capitol Christmas Tree made an appearance in Cortez on this day and hundreds came to witness a unique event.
Driven by former U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, the Capitol Christmas Tree truck traveled throughout the country on its route to Washington D.C. Nearly 200 residents braved the wet weather to get a glimpse of the 73-foot tall Engleman Spruce. It wasn't much of a glance since the tree remained covered, but people flocked to the canvas cover to write messages.
The "People's Tree," as it's called was cut down near Meeker in the White River National Forest and was erected at the Capitol. A tree lighting ceremony was held in early December.
Just when the city of Cortez and local law enforcement agencies secured a handle on rules for medical marijuana centers, here comes Amendment 64. After Colorado voters agreed to make small amounts of marijuana legal, the government agencies will now need to address how the new amendment will impact the community.
Axel was a good dog, a strong dog, a devoted animal who did his job well.
Axel, a black German shepherd, died in June following an accident when a horse kicked him and shattered his hind leg. Axel was owned by Chuck Melvin, founder of the Dolores K-9 Search and Rescue Team.
Now a silver dog bowl sits empty and alone at the National Search and Rescue Conference in Lake Tahoe. Beside it were empty dinner place settings of search and rescue personnel who had lost their lives in the line of duty. During the annual tradition at the National Search and Rescue Conference, Axel was honored along with others.
The dog bowl was added for the first time this year, in honor of Axel.
A life well spent helping others. Axel personified the term "Man's best friend."
The veteran basketball coach earned his 500th career win in 2012.
He took over the Montezuma-Cortez boys program in 1990 and led the Panthers to the Class 4A state title in 2002.
He now coaches the Sangre de Cristo Thunderbirds but as the coach of a state title team, he will always be a bit of a legend in Cortez.
After earning another term on the Cortez City Council, Tom Butler ran into a bit of a health scare around Thanksgiving. Well, maybe a little health scare is an understatement.
He was rushed to an Albuquerque hospital to undergo heart surgery. The surgery was a quadruple bypass with one artery being 99 percent clogged, two were 98 percent blocked and the fourth one was 97 percent blocked.
He's now getting better and hopes to be back in council chambers for the Jan. 8 meeting.
It was a true clash of cultures when Aliioaiga Feturi Elisaia, ambassador to the U.S. from the Independent State of Samoa, visited the Ute Mountain Ute tribe in April. Though the Pacific island nation and high desert tribe may seem to have nothing in common, the ambassador's tribe was designed to foster collaboration and the establishment of future relationships in a global economy. Elisaia's trip focused on natural resources, environmental adaptability and cultural influences on community.
The trip was not without entertainment. Before leaving the area, Elisaia attended Towaoc's King of the Cage mixed martial arts fights. The conflict, however, stayed in the ring while the rest of the trip was a harmonious meeting of the minds.
When seeking new leadership for the local high school, Montezuma-Cortez School District Re-1 officials didn't search far outside the box, choosing instead to select Mesa Elementary Principal Jason Wayman to helm M-CHS.
Wayman, 32, took the reigns at the high school in July, promising consistency in the leadership position as well as changes in the school with the overall goal of increasing student performance and maintaining the school's state accreditation. An M-CHS graduate, Wayman's entire career has been served in the Re-1 district, providing him with knowledge and insight into the local district not available to an outside educator.
The little Cortez Airport keeps providing travelers a quick trip option to Denver. Federal grants have helped and more upgrades will be coming in 2013.
It's nice to have an airport close by when you want to make that quick trip and don't want to make a long drive. And parking is free.
Montezuma-Cortez High School senior Victoria Stanley is all about community involvement.
During her final year in high school, Stanley raised awareness and funds for cancer programs, was a member of the Student Leadership Council and committed herself to several other events.
She was also the youth chair for the local Relay for Life event committee. A busy and devoted young women full of community pride.
As the Bridge Emergency Shelter director, Donna Boyd is caring and compassionate. Those traits can take their toll in such a demanding job.
She sees firsthand the power that alcohol and substance abuse has over many of the shelter's clients, but she's not there to judge. She's there to do a job and provide a warm bed for the night during the winter months.
The character of the Cortez community received a massive shot in the arm with the city's selection for a $100,000 Orton Family Foundation Heart and Soul Community Planning Grant. Cortez was one of just five communities in the nation awarded the grant, aimed at getting residents more involved in shaping the future of their community. The grant seeks to quantify the nebulous aspects of community, defining the characteristics that unite a group of people. To begin to develop vision and goals for the project, input from locals on the best aspects of the community, along with what should be changed and what the community could become will be solicited. The overall goal of the program is to find out what matters most to locals and use that to create stronger communities and stronger local economies.
Justin Lindsay's life came full circle when he became one of the first full-time firefighters hired by the Cortez Fire Protection District. Lindsay grew up in the firehouse on Ash Street, the son of Kent Lindsay, the protection district's last volunteer fire chief. From memories of washing the engines with the volunteer crew and riding in the big red trucks during community parades to actively fighting fires in Cortez, Lindsay is living the life of his childhood fantasies.
For Lindsay, the best part of taking on this new role is the opportunity to help those in his community he calls his friends and neighbors.
"I've been around it my whole life and, you know, it gets in your blood," Lindsay said. "You know in a very short time if this is something you want to do. It's who I am, I guess. It's my history."
Walking away from a career is never easy. It is especially difficult when that career has been served in one place. Such was the case for local educator Betty Love. Love closed her door at Montezuma-Cortez High School for the last time this past May, emptying her social studies classroom of years worth of stories, history and lesson plans. The hallways and classrooms of the schools in the Re-1 district have been a sort of home for Love, a graduate of the local high school whose own mother taught in the district for 35 years. From her first day teaching at Cortez Middle School to her last lesson taught at M-CHS, Love's dedicated her career to the local district, teaching English and history. Through it all, she maintained her desire to teach the stories of her heart, the stories of the history that formed the present we all know.
"I try to push each of the kids I care about to be great - to reach their potential and to realize they are a whole lot more than a cutesy answer," she said. "I start every year with a John Adams' quote, 'Let us dare to think, speak, read and write.' And I think that is my job, to push them to do that."
The Cortez Police Department are still looking for a man who robbed the Giant convenience store and gas station at the intersection of Main Street and Mildred Road Nov. 28. The same Giant store was robbed by two men in the early hours of March 31, 2011. Both men were arrested and convicted of the crime.
After more than 30 years in education, much of it served in Southwest Colorado, Montezuma-Cortez High School Principal Gordon Shepherd decided to step away from the game in June, allowing room for new leadership and perspective at the local high school.
Throughout his long career, Shepherd was an influence not only in school leadership, but in the classroom and as a coach. The 57-year-old educator said teaching was in his blood, and as the son of a teacher he never really considered any other career.
"It's the hardest job you'll love and you won't regret it," he said. "You do it because it's the right thing to do, and you feel it because of what it does for kids."
Shane hale
The Cortez Sanitation District and Cortez city government reached an agreement to settle a near-decade-long billing error that deprived the district of more than $1.3 million, City Manager Shane Hale announced in the early part of 2012. Although the sanitation district is responsible for providing sewer services, they were contracting out their billing to the city of Cortez. Both city officials and the auditor have said systems are in place to prevent the error from happening again. Hale is also one of the key players in the Cortez Rotary Club's international reading program, Dolly's Imagination Library.
Imagination Library brochures went to Cortez, Dolores, Mancos and Towaoc libraries in early November. The displayed packets can be picked up by any parent wanting to receive books for their child.
From bullying to teen pregnancy to alcohol and drug use, Montezuma County youths got a taste of the darker side of life's decisions when Teen Maze returned to the Montezuma County Fairgrounds. After a year's absence, the event was back in 2012, asking teens to "Think for Yourself."
The main emphasis of this year's maze was anti-bullying, allowing students to learn and discuss what it is like to be a bully, be bullied or be a bystander. The overall goal of the maze, as in year's past was to allow students to learn about the potential outcomes to healthy and risky behaviors, as well as understand the various resources available in the community.
Linda Towle is the board president of the Cortez Historical Society where she tries to relay the city's history to residents and visitors. She also heads up the tours of homes and buildings on Montezuma Avenue and worked with the city to place 12 of the homes on the City's Register of Historic Structures.
Working in conjunction with the county, which owns the property where the McElmo Flume is located, Towle has been bringing experts to Cortez to assess the flume's condition.
Michael Canzona left his director of operations position with the Montezuma-Cortez School District where he worked for the past four years to return to his roots. Canzona was named the director of Battle Rock Charter School in McElmo Canyon. It's the school where he started his career in education when he was a paraprofessional.
Ninety-year-old Sam Sandoval, of Shiprock, N.M., spoke at the Cortez Cultural Center Aug. 14 for National Code Talkers Day. Of the 418 Navajo Code Talkers trained during World War II, Sandoval is one of 40 still alive.
Sandoval attended a United Methodist boarding school near Farmington before moving to Hawthorne, Nev. as a teenager, where he was approached by a U.S. Marine Corps recruiter. The military was seeking Navajo men ages 17-31 fluent in both English and Navajo, so they could relay coded messages the Japanese could not intercept and decipher. Sandoval made the cut and spent more than two years stationed in Okinawa, Japan, and four other posts in the South Pacific.
Orly Lucero continued to be a prominent community member in 2012. The former mayor was co-chair (with Becky Brunk) of the Cortez 21st Century High School Committee, the grassroots group that rallied support for the 3B bond measure. Because of their efforts, and the ensuing groundswell of votes, Cortez will have a safer and more modern high school for the 2015-2016 academic year (per the tentative timeline).
Lucero, an engineering technician by trade, also won a four-year term to the Cortez Fire Protection District board in May, and volunteers with the Rotary Club of Cortez.
Amid these commitments, Lucero and his wife Carol again found time to wow onlookers with their yard full of elaborate Christmas decorations.
KEVIN McCOMB
After 31 years, the development of a strong agriculture program and statewide recognition, Montezuma-Cortez High School teacher Kevin McComb walked into retirement in May, leaving behind him a legacy that will be long remembered in the halls of the local high school.
An M-CHS graduate himself, McComb relished the opportunity to teach at his alma mater. During his time at M-CHS, McComb challenged his students to learn and grow through the Future Farmers of America program.
Along with state and national competitions, McComb and his students were able to experience agriculture in a variety of places, including New York City, Missouri and across Colorado. At the 2012 FFA state convention, McComb was honored with the "Outstanding Agriculture Teacher Award," capping a career worthy of recognition.
It's not often one finds recognition for simply living one's life, but the Southwestern Cowbelles' Cowbelle of the Year award exists for just such a purpose, to pay honor to lives well lived in the agrarian culture of Southwest Colorado.
Paula Neal's recognition as the 2012 Cowbelle of the Year acknowledged her dedication to the lifestyle in which she was raised.
Born into the beef industry, Neal and her husband raise cattle and are active with 4-H and Future Farmers of America, encouraging youths to continue the grand tradition of agriculture in America. Neal has her finger on the pulse of Montezuma County, with involvement in bereavement dinners, blood drives, the Cowbelle calenders, brand quilts and the county fair. She never stops moving and never gets tired; she simply doesn't have the time.
Being named Stockman of the Year by the Southwestern Colorado Livestock Association may not change your life, but it will highlight your life in a way that is hard to ignore. Larry Everett's selection as the 2012 Stockman of the Year was apropos for the man whose life is entrenched in the grand tradition of agriculture in Montezuma County.
Growing up working cow camps in the mountains of Southwest Colorado, Everett's life in agriculture started small but his passion impacted the county in a larger way. He introduced Limousin cattle to the area and his passion and involvement helped get the Montezuma County Fairgrounds established.
The face of agriculture in Montezuma County is different because of the contributions of Everett, contributions he just calls life.
For those who help the residents of Cortez on their worst days, when fires threaten to destroy their homes and medical emergencies turn their lives upside down, the stresses of the job often become overwhelming. The addition of a chaplain at the local fire house is an acknowledgement of the inherent risks of the position and an effort to provide support for those who support the community. Local minister Rob Hall, pastor at the Cortez Church of Christ, will fill the position of spiritual and emotional leader at the firehouse. Hall will attend chaplaincy training in California next month and has completed a citizens fire academy in Cortez.
Hall says the position will allow him to give back to those in the community who spend their lives in service.
"I'm around for the personnel if they need me, because they have stresses that you can't take home and talk to other people about," he said. "And I transfer care to other preachers and pastors in town. But I'm there for that moment."
The acclaimed 7,700-acre Ute Mountain Farm and Ranch in Towaoc - producer of corn, alfalfa, wheat and sunflowers - won third place nationally, and first place in Colorado, in the "no till/strip till irrigated division" at the National Corn Yield Contest in February. In all, some 8,000 contestants took part in the competition, hosted by the National Corn Growers Association. The award came nine years after UMFF claimed second place in 2003.
The prized Fontanelle hybrid seed planted by farm manager Paul Evans produced 20 more bushels of corn per acre than the other seeds he tested.
No till/strip till farming minimizes soil disturbance and erosion while increasing water and nutrient retention.
What a cool sign and a great new station.
Back in April, the KSJD radio station moved its physical offices to downtown Cortez, but its location on the radio dial remained at 91.5 in Cortez and 96.3 in Mancos.
KSJD moved from broadcasting at Southwest Colorado Community College to the old Historic Basin and Industrial Bank Building at Main and Market streets.
A few months later, the new KSJD sign was installed and the move was complete.
The 56-year-old Towaoc man is still looking at a lengthy prison term after pleading guilty to a pair of reduced charges.
Clarence M. Lehi was arrested Nov. 5, 2011 in Towaoc in the shooting death of Winslow Big Soldier at Lehi's house on the Ute Mountain Ute reservation.
He will be facing up to a combined 25 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter and assault resulting in serious bodily injury. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 18.
Despite the hype - or perhaps because of it - the big bike race won't be back next year.
Lycra-clad riders and their support crews made a fleeting pass through Montezuma County during Stage 1 of the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge in August. The 125-mile first leg stretched between Durango and Telluride and included a climb over Lizard Head Pass. The route, however, bypassed Cortez by a dozen miles. Cyclists turned northwest on Highway 184 in Mancos and then veered northeast onto Highway 145 in Dolores.
Crowd attendance in Durango was well below earlier estimates promulgated by city and tourism officials, prompting some criticism. Durango chose not to submit a bid to host again next year. In fact, race organizers omitted southern Colorado from the 2013 route altogether.
A few weeks ago, law enforcement converged at the home of outgoing Montezuma County commissioner Larrie Rule.
Led by a state auto-theft task force, search warrants were executed.
Virtually no information has been released by the lead agency - the Colorado State Patrol.
It might be nothing, who knows. But soon, sometime in 2013, we should know more about this investigation.

Two-time Grammy winner TOM WAITS has earned his seventh nomination for his critically acclaimed 3-CD set ORPHANS: BRAWLERS, BAWLERS AND BASTARDS in the Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album category.
Upon its release ORPHANS received tall praise from a wide vista of media outlets across the board (and oceans). Highlights include Rolling Stone: "a definitive album," Mojo: "Masterpiece isn't the right word for such a profusion of profound delights" and The Boston Globe: "...some of the best and most vital work of Waits' long career." Waits also received accolades from The Los Angeles Times: "a fulfillment of the ideal Waits," Pitchfork.com: "...another layer of invulnerability to the already untouchable critical status of Tom Waits," Village Voice: "Tom Waits...remains our preeminent iconoclast," as well as CBS This Morning: "...in the first rank of American songwriters," just to cite a select few.
WAITS won his first Grammy in 1992 for Best Alternative Music Album for Bone Machine and another in 1999 for Best Contemporary Folk Album for Mule Variations--his first CD on Anti- Records. ORPHANS marks his fifth release for the pioneering indie label.
In February, WAITS will start filming The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, a romantic fantasy adventure starring Christopher Plummer and Heath Ledger with renowned director Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits, Brazil, Twelve Monkeys).
When asked if he might be touring in 2008, WAITS replied, "I keep hearing rumors..."

When working in a medium sized office setting, you tend to share links with your co-workers, and then forget to show your other friends. This is a demonstration of what a recent study claims we spend 25% of our office time doing (while maintaining or even increasing productivity). Our managers, on the other hand, would call them "distractions".

On the way back from the Berkshires last weekend, Rachela and I almost ran out of gas. And when you're looking for a gas station, you inevitably can't find one. And then the gas light goes off and says you have another 30 miles to go before you should panic. And then you drive another 5 miles. And you're told you should really panic in 7 miles. And those extra 12 safety miles? They disappeared. Of course, when you finally find someone fixing his tractor at the side of the road and inquire about a station, he points you to the top of the hill where you can see a Gulf sign peeking out behind a church.
After we filled the tank, we began our search for farmers markets. We had seen loads of them throughout the weekend, but didn't want to buy anything to have it sit in our room or the car in the sweltering heat. So when we were finally ready to load up the car with fresh fruits and vegetables, none were to be found. We drove by a wigwam. And an Indian circle dance. When I read the word dance, I jumped out of the car, ready to join in. Until I saw a half-dozen pot-bellied men in loin cloths and feather headdresses stomping their feet around a bonfire. We were back in the car and on the road fast. Really fast. So fast that we had to do a quick U-turn after we passed a sign for fresh-picked corn. U-turn accomplished, we rolled into the driveway and found a makeshift table set with ears of corn, plastic bags, a metal box and a sign stating,
Picked this morning.
$6 a dozen or $0.50 each.
Please leave money in the box.
We promptly picked a pair of ears each, deposited our dollars in the box, and waved at the proprietress as she stepped onto her front porch to shuck.
We then passed a larger farmers stand with a greater variety of produce. I grabbed a few tomatoes, a handful of small cukes, and several large zucchinis.
And they sat in my fridge for almost a week while I toiled away in the office, ordering dinner in to sustain me during my late working hours. And then, only this weekend, did the vegetables come out to play. An Israeli salad. Corn roasted in the husk, eaten over the sink. And simple roasted zucchini with Mediterranean spices.
Roasted Zucchini
Adapted from a recipe for Roasted Zucchini with Ricotta and Mint from this August's Food & Wine.
Additional note 7/10/12: after salting the zucchini, make sure to rinse off all the salt. You can always add more salt to taste, but it's pretty hard to remove it!
Preheat oven to 450ºF. Dice 2 large zucchini into a medium-sized dice (1/3 – 1/2 inch). Salt generously and let sit in colander for 5-10 minutes until some of the zucchini's liquid is released. Rinse zucchini and dry well. (The salting helps prevent the zucchini from getting soggy.) Toss with 1T olive oil, salt, and pepper. Shake onto a baking dish and roast for 25-30 minutes until zucchini starts to brown. Add 2 t cumin and a few pinches of crushed red pepper and roast for another 2-5 minutes until the spices are fragrant. Scoop into a bowl and sprinkle with the juice of half a lemon. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a few mint leaves and a scoop of labane (or leave off the labane for a non-dairy option).

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC, after being heartened by some long-sought success this past fall, has fallen into a deep midwinter freeze.
The network has badly stumbled recently, hitting its three lowest viewership levels for a traditional television season in the past four weeks, the Nielsen ratings company said. The only exception came the week NBC televised the Pro Bowl.
NBC expected some tough times with the end of the pro football season and its popular Sunday night game. Two other popular shows, the reality singing competition "The Voice" and the sci-fi drama "Revolution," are on hiatus, which network entertainment President Robert Greenblatt noted a month ago in a bid to lower expectations.
"No one is more aware of what January through March will bring than us," he said.
Yet the depth of NBC's recent troubles has to be disheartening. NBC was feeling good about the musical drama "Smash," yet the 4.5 million people who watched its second-season premiere last week represented its smallest audience. The medical drama "Do No Harm" was cancelled after two weeks when it reached a paltry 2.2 million people last week in the time slot NBC once dominated with "ER."
The detective series "Deception," with Victor Garber, seems headed for a short life after reaching 3.1 million people last Monday. The comedy "1600 Penn," about a family living in the White House, had only 2.6 million people on Thursday, Nielsen said.
The audiences for all four of those series put together roughly equaled the number of people who saw "The Walking Dead," about a sheriff's deputy fighting zombie-like people, on AMC on Sunday night, Nielsen said.
Thirty-three other broadcast programs had bigger audiences than NBC's most-watched show last week, "Dateline NBC." The network has turned over its Friday night schedule to the news division with "Dateline" and Brian Williams' newsmagazine, "Rock Center."
CBS, led by the Grammy Awards, thoroughly dominated prime time on broadcast TV last week. Its average audience was twice that of second-place Fox. Seventeen of the 20 top broadcast programs last week were on CBS, with the exceptions being two episodes of "American Idol" on Fox and ABC's "Modern Family."
CBS averaged 13.2 million viewers for the week (8.0 rating, 13 share). A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
Fox was second with 6.5 million (3.8, 6), ABC had 6.3 million (4.1, 7), NBC had 4.3 million (2.8, 5), the CW had 1.6 million (1.0, 2) and ION Television had 1.2 million (0.8, 1).
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with a 3.7 million prime-time average (1.9, 3). Telemundo had 1.3 million (0.7, 1), UniMas had 960,000 (0.5, 1), Estrella had 230,000 (0.1, 0) and Azteca 130,000 (also 0.1, 0).
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 9.6 million viewers (6.4, 12). ABC's "World News" was second with 8.6 million (5.8, 11) and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.5 million viewers (5.0, 9). It was the biggest audience for CBS' evening newscast since January 2009.
For the week of Feb. 4-10, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "Grammy Awards," CBS, 28.38 million; "NCIS," CBS, 21.79 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 18.98 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 16.67 million; "Person of Interest," CBS, 14.88 million; "American Idol" (Wednesday), Fox, 14.27 million; "Two and a Half Men," CBS, 14.12 million; "American Idol" (Thursday), Fox, 13.28 million; "Criminal Minds," CBS, 11.98 million; "2 Broke Girls," CBS, 11.37 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox and My Network TV are units of News Corp. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks. TeleFutura is a division of Univision. Azteca America is a wholly owned subsidiary of TV Azteca S.A. de C.V.

Leaving that aside, the comic is not too bad. The point is simple - "Pandora plays embarrassing music when people are around" - and simply executed, so it's not likely to make me froth about in a bitter rage, as so often happens (you really should not be near me when I read a new xkcd comic). I didn't find it all that funny - in part because I only listen to embarrassing music, so I am used to this, and also because I tend to listen to Pandora on my own or with headphones (because all my music is embarrassing). Part of me wants to say "why the hell is he making this comic now? Surely he's known about pandora for years, right?" but again, that's not really enough. The worst thing to be said about this comic is that it is oh-so-similar to comic 400, and that's not something I can defend it on. That is just a problem.
Those of you disappointed that I am not more angry today, read on.
Unrelated to the current comic, but I've been glancing through the xkcd store as it quietly adds new products, and noticed this.
I think that the xkcd store selling shirts entirely based on a joke from the Simpsons movie is pathetic. The writers of that movie worked hard to come up with the script and to take their work and make money off of it is just wrong. I'm not talking about a legal, Creative Commons style debate - I'm just talking about what is being a dick and what is not. (hint: this is being a dick!)
update: No, I don't care that it is being sold to supposedly give money to some charity somewhere. And I also don't care that some comic book once made a similar character in like the 80s or something for a 17 issue kids comic series. the xkcd store fucking quotes the movie. OK? shut up and i hate you all.

As a physician within the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group, I love the camaraderie and close working relationships I have with my colleagues and other members of the health care team.

I always liked sitting in the back when I was a kid. Still do. I don't know if it is easier to get away with things or fall asleep easier, or if the leg room is better there, but I've never been a front…

Greetings Bitter People of the Internet. My name is Bitter Ben and I started blogging when I got fed up. Talking to people, listening to them complain and blame me for things I had nothing to do with. A long time ago, I learned in marketing that you should find a need and fill it. I started noticing that a lot of people like to complain about little things, but they felt ashamed to do it, because they felt like they were being petty.
I came up with the idea to start a 900 line (1-900-BITR-BEN), where people could call and complain about all the little things that drove them crazy, but the twist was that the Customer Service Rep could also complain back. This would not only allow all the complainers to get it out of their systems, but the call would be longer and I would get more money. This lead me to come up with my tag line, "We make bitter better." That idea failed because of a number of reasons, so instead I did the next best thing.
I started my blog www.bensbitterblog.com, and it was a huge success. I had 10,000 loyal bitter followers, but that blog was ruthlessly and painful taken from me by WordPress. Read more here and here.
A blog wasn't enough for me though. I wanted T-shirts, Bitter Themed Restaurants, and maybe even a last placed sports team. Since my blog was stolen from me, I decided to start this one, that includes everything Entertainment, IE Bitter Entertainment Network, or BEN.
This means as soon as I get up and running. I am going to start an actual television network, via YouTube where you will see everything related to Bitterness. Buckle up, it going to be a bitter ride. For now, jump into this bitter filled environment, where you are free to complain as bitterly as you like. No matter how petty, all bitterness is free to roam these wide open bitter halls, or meadows if you prefer. Comment the heck out of every post, because you can be sure I will comment right back with more bitterness. Let's "Make Bitter Better".

I almost always forget to each lunch on Fridays, especially in the winter. From October to March, sunset is early, days are short, and I usually need to leave work at some embarrassingly early hour to get home in time for shabbat. But we just turned the clocks back and sunset is at a gloriously perfect 6:30 (give or take) up here in the north. I even spotted the first few flowers pushing their way through the softening ground on our one day of warmth and sunshine between the big storm and the little storm.
I picked up a grapefruit a week ago to pay homage to snowbird Bubbie whose Miami apartment my mother inherited and my parents were visiting to begin renovations. Bubbie used to begin each of our Miami meals with a half pink grapefruit. But mine has been sitting in my fruit bowl uninspired. Until today when my avocados finally ripened. So I gathered some ingredients for my much needed salad because I might not get any other veggies for the rest of the day.
See, I'm going to a Friends of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) dinner tonight. These things can be fun, but I like good food. And on that front, catered dinners (and I use that term loosely) can be very hit or miss. This has nothing to do with the sponsoring organization — it's just what happens when you cook for a lot of people. Here in Cambridge/Boston, unless it's Andrew's (no endorsement — I don't even know the guy, but his reputation precedes him), a large shabbat dinner can usually guarantee some form of chicken, maybe some meat, and that's about it. Fresh fruits and vegetables, highly unlikely. A salad that's more than iceberg and a bottled dressing, unlikely too. And, I'm sorry Jewish world, but potato kugel does NOT count as a vegetable. Starch maybe, but vegetable, no.
Needless to day, I needed to get my veggies on. And I had a bit of time to wait before shabbat dinner at a winter-hopefully-almost-over probably-only-one-more-little-storm-left flowers-soon-to-be-blooming long-awaited-spring little-birds-starting-to-chirp respectable 7:15 pm.
Grapefruit Avocado Salad
Reminiscent of a salad I used to eat at Darna in NY. Also very good topped with grilled chicken. Dressing is very light as pink grapefruits are not very tart – you can add some lemon juice for more acidity, especially if you're using spinach or mâche greens. Arugula has a spicy bite and normally works well with bold flavors, so its use here was a bit of an experiment but the combination with the mild dressing is quite nice.
Serves 1 person who likes grapefruit; to serve 2, just add extra greens and use the whole avocado
– 2-3 handfuls of arugula (spinach and mâche work great also, but dressing will need to be adjusted – consider adding lemon juice and regular balsamic)
– 1 pink grapefruit
– 1/2 avocado
– olive oil
– white balsamic vinegar (or cider vinegar)
– salt and pepper
Prepare grapefruit suprêmes. Cut off top and bottom of grapefruit to reveal flesh and then cut off remainder of skin so that no pith remains. Remove each grapefruit section over a bowl (to catch juices) by sliding a knife between membrane and flesh in toward the center and then up towards the outside. Repeat until you have removed all of the segments. Save the juice.
Make dressing (enough for two servings). Mix grapefruit juice (~1T) with 2-3T olive oil and 1T vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Dip a green in dressing to taste and adjust as necessary.
Tear greens and arrange on plate. Top with grapefruit suprêmes and coat with dressing. Allow to sit for ~10 minutes to soak up dressing.
Prepare avocado cubes and add last. Cut avocado in half. Score flesh through to skin in a cross-hatch pattern. Scoop flesh with a a large spoon on top of salad and serve immediately. If not using second half, refrigerate with pit to prevent browning.
Top salad with avocado and add additional dressing if necessary.
The dinner was actually pretty good, as it was indeed catered by Andrew. Stuffed turkey breast I believe, asparagus and roasted potatoes. No kugel in sight. Fresh fruit and assorted mini cakes for dessert. Not bad.
And there were beautiful flowers (apparently donated by Sarah's Garden in Newton — email@example.com, no website that I can find) on each table that were so colorful I thought they were fake (and made a comment to that effect…until I reached over to touch their soft petals and realized my mistake). I was one of the lucky ones who was able to bring a anemone bouquet home and it survived the arduous journey despite in brilliant form. I can't resist sharing with you their splendor in one of my most favorite vibrant color combinations.

Dave White's first movie review was of the animated feature Snoopy Come Home. He was seven years old and declared it a masterpiece. Sadly for film history, that review was never published. Since then he has written about movies for IFILM.com, E! Online and MSNBC.com and The Advocate. He's also the author of the book Exile in Guyville and believes that if you're not hiding from real life in dark movie theaters then you're not really living.
Dave's favorite films: Vertigo, The Godfather, I Drink Your Blood, Au hasard Balthazar, Destroy All Monsters and a few hundred others. Find him on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/dlelandwhite Follow him on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/dlelandwhite

Beautiful Leila, the prim and proper English maiden, had a longing for some ice cream, so she got a bowl and a spoon and dug in. Problem was, the ice cream kept falling onto her bare tits, so she decided to eat it in the shower. And once she was done, she decided to wash it off in the shower. Lucky for us, she also decided to let us watch it all! Lovely Leila!
Queen of curds and creams!
