A second decision that Riverside Councilman Chris Mac Arthur did not violate the city's ethics code in handling alleged misconduct by his aide has ended the matter.
The council, minus Mac Arthur, voted Tuesday, Jan. 22, to uphold a city panel's December finding that no ethics violation occurred.
The panel had decided there was no evidence that Mac Arthur failed to respond to complaints about his legislative aide Chuck Conder.
But one of the allegations that led to the ethics complaint and appeal filed by Dvonne Pitruzzello, a resident and former mayoral candidate, remains under investigation by state officials.
The issue arose in October, when Pitruzzello filed a complaint under the city's ethics code saying that Mac Arthur failed to respond to three incidents of alleged misconduct by Conder. Because aides report to council members and sometimes act on their behalf, Pitruzzello argued that Mac Arthur was responsible for Conder's behavior.
In two incidents, only one of which Pitruzzello says she saw, she said Conder used rude language and made a vulgar gesture toward council critics at city meetings. Pitruzzello also contended that Conder threatened Mayor William "Rusty" Bailey's former aide, Mark Earley, with a knife at City Hall, but said she did not witness it.
Conder has denied the incidents occurred. He did not attend Tuesday's appeal hearing.
Neither the special panel that first heard the complaint nor the council was charged with deciding the truth of the allegations against Conder. The ethics code applies to elected officials but not city employees.
Pitruzzello noted Tuesday that City Manager Scott Barber has said that, although aides get work assignments from council members, they are his at-will employees. However, she pointed to Conder's contract, which says he works "under the direct supervision, and at the sole pleasure or discretion" of Mac Arthur.
City Attorney Greg Priamos noted that the city charter only gives the council direct power to hire and fire three employees – him, the city manager and the city clerk.
"I employ the legislative aides," Barber said.
He has said that Mac Arthur reported residents' allegations about Conder to him, and he investigated them but could not discuss the results because they are confidential personnel matters.
Pitruzzello also complained about the alleged knife incident to the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health. On Tuesday, a spokesman with that agency confirmed by email that the division is investigating.

Do me a favor: Save this op-ed in a folder somewhere and promise to open it up in five years. Let's see how many of us remember what today we're calling the "Navy Yard Shootings" — and, more importantly, whether we as a society decided to do something about the mass killings that increasingly are a part of life in the United States.
If we can summon the will to make a change, whether it's enacting new laws or (I hope) trying new tactics that take into account the cultural norms that promote violence as a way to solve problems, real or perceived, what does that look like? In five or 10 years, will a mass shooting be just an anachronism of our age — the equivalent of a hijacked plane and ransomed passengers from the 1970s?
Having gone through more than a decade of gun massacres, we have come to expect the predicable banter among journalists, experts, politicians and representatives of different organizations with an agenda. Collectively, they tend to focus on the anomalies: odd things about the perpetrator, the victims, the frequency and circumstances of this kind of shocking violence. Trumping all else, the story is always about the difficulties of passing laws that would curtail various weapons and public access to them. Let's face it — it's become a routine.
But mass shootings are not routine for this country — not yet, anyway. On the other hand, all kinds of violence, including homicides and suicides by gun, are. We simply live with it: Somehow, murder is a by-product of freedom. You can't fight City Hall, but you can sure fight your neighbor, your ex, your parents, your children, your co-workers, or even random strangers in the street. Get a gun or a knife or a club and take action. Everybody knows this, everybody watches TV and movies and experiences this kind of "resolution" at a safe distance. You have to wonder if a certain level of violence is acceptable because it is part of what makes us American. Disturbing thought, isn't it?
I believe it's a dangerous generalization to declare that we are numb to what is happening around us. The victims of violence and their loved ones certainly bear the damage. The emotional costs reverberate throughout society. What we're left with, after the makeshift memorials are left untended and the conversation has moved on to other issues, is a sense that we have lost our way. After the Navy Yard, after Sandy Hook, after Columbine, after the daily news about another murder, where do we go? And if we find that place, what solace can we take from it?
It's possible that as we stumble along trying to understand violence, we're going to reach an undeniable conclusion: The constitutional provision for the right to bear arms, the National Rifle Association and gun manufacturers, and our cultural history all work together to make it impossible to achieve a legislative solution. No matter what the polls say, there are some very strong lobbies in the U.S., and they run this side of the conversation. So, while we can tweak the gun laws we have, any new sweeping federal law intended to stop the next mass killing is doomed to fail.
Does this mean that we give up? That we become inured to disturbed loners strafing parking lots and office buildings, for whatever reason? No. It does not.
What it means is that we face reality. Consider this: No matter what laws we enact, any person with intent to harm others can do so. If a gun is not available to him, a determined killer — certifiably insane or simply fed up with his life — can get behind the wheel and inflict a lot of damage. He holds a driver's license, has car insurance, and no outstanding tickets. But one day he snaps and speeds down a crowded sidewalk. No law can stop him.
The truth is, all law is designed for reasonable people. Law and reason go hand in hand, and for millions of us, that's enough. We're responsible drivers, rational employees, caring spouses and parents, and play-by-the-rules gun owners. We live and let live.
It's a little sad to consider it this way, but I believe our ability to reason can encourage us as a society to become more mature in our views about violence. Call it a reckoning, or a simple admission that we're tired of the bad news and have little belief in a legal solution.
So, in five years, perhaps we can say this: When it comes to curbing violence, and saying no more to mass shootings, it's not about more laws, better laws or heightened law enforcement. It's a matter of figuring out how to establish a culture that does not resort to violence, whether it's to settle our differences or to satisfy some bizarre fantasy. We've figured out the real consequences of violence, and we're working on the social, psychological and cultural questions that will allow us to do better.
Absolutely, what I'm imagining has consequences in the law. You can't have a safer society without enacting improvements to security, and that means giving up certain things we take for granted. Does it bother me that my kids go to a school with metal detectors? Not at all — that's a small price to pay for keeping weapons out of the building. And so on.
Beyond this time of uncertainty we're in now, I'm predicting a big change in attitude. I think we're going to look for solutions that are more creative, more focused, more about spotting a troubled person and taking steps to stop him from committing violence. If we invest more resources in providing better mental health screening, counseling and mediation efforts in our schools and communities, including research on their effectiveness, and then if we recognize that one size does not fit all (i.e., tailor resources to specific circumstances), we can go a long way to minimizing the carnage that we see far too often.
It's time to start. We owe that to every victim, from the Navy Yard all the way through every street, every house, every office and every single place where an act of violence has taken place in our country. Embrace the issue, and strive for solutions. All sides. All citizens. Now.

Straight talk on what the most powerful man in the world knows about the most important subject.

The 1965 Northeast Blackout, UFOs, Continuity of Government, and the Johnson White House
At 5:16 PM. November 9, 1965 the Great Northeast Power Blackout occurred. The commonly told story is that the failure began at the Ontario - New York border, near Niagara Falls (Sir Adam Beck No.2 Generating Station at Queenston, Ontario).
Supposedly a transmission line at the Niagara generating station failed and within seconds five other transmission lines became overloaded and tripped. At this point generators began shutting down and the entire the northeast power system became unstable and separated into isolated power systems. Within five seconds 30 million people were in the dark. It took up to thirteen hours to get the power back up.
There was a lot of evidence that showed UFO sightings being reported in connection with the New York City Blackout. In addition to the reported sightings prior to and during the blackout, there were reports that indicated the UFOs might actually have caused the blackout. If true this would have support from other historic UFO cases that indicated that electromagnetic effects from UFOs could cause power outages.
Even the news York Times covered the story of the sightings, and even published a photo with an apparent UFO in its publication of November 19.
Evidence looking at the possible UFO – New York City blackout connection was even brought in front of congress. Dr. James E. McDonald, a top Ufologist of the day and University of Arizona professor, testified on the possible UFO connection to the northeast blackout in front of the House Committee on Science and Astronautics at July 29, 1968, Symposium on Unidentified Flying Objects, Rayburn Bldg., Washington, D.C. Among the congressmen who listened in was the present Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
The congressmen were impressed enough with the evidence that they questioned Dr. McDonald on his theory of UFO electromagnetic effects being able to black out huge sections of the country. One exchange occurred with Representative William F. Ryan, a Democrat from New York City.
Mr. Ryan: Let me ask a further question: In the course of your investigation and your study of UFO sightings, have you found any cases where contemporaneously with the sighting of UFO's allegedly, there were any other events which took place, which might or might not be related to the UFO's?
Dr. McDonald: Yes. Certainly there are many physical effects. For instance, in Mr. Pettis' district, several people found the fillings in their mouth hurting while this object was nearby, but there are many cases probably on record of car ignition failure. One famous case was at Levelland, Tex., in 1957. Ten vehicles were stopped within a short area, all independently in a 2-hour period, near Levelland, Tex. There was no lightning or thunder storm, and only a trace of rain.
There is another, which I don't know whether to bring to the committee's attention or not. The evidence is not as conclusive as the car stopping phenomenon, but there are too many instances for me to ignore. UFO's have often been seen hovering near power facilities. There are a small number but still a little too many to seem pure fortuitous chance, of system outages, coincident with the UFO sighting. One of the cases was Tamaroa, Ill. Another was a case in Shelbyville, Ky., early last year.
"Then there are scattered instances in which substantial power distribution systems have failed at or very near the time of observation of aerial phenomena similar, broadly speaking, to one or another UFO phenomenon. I have personally checked on several such instances and am satisfied that the coincidence of UFO observation and power outage did at least occur. Whether there is a causal connection here, and in which direction it may run, remains quite uncertain. Even during the large Northeast blackout, November 9, 1965, there were many UFO observations, several of which I have personally checked..."
"I interviewed a woman in Seacliff, N.Y. She saw a disk hovering and going up and down. And then shooting away from New York just after the power failure. I went to the FPC for data, they didn't take them seriously although they had many dozens of sighting reports for that famous evening. There were reports all over New England in the midst of that blackout, and five witnesses near Syracuse, N.Y., saw a glowing object ascending within about a minute of the blackout. First they thought it was a dump burning right at the moment the lights went out. It is rather puzzling that the pulse of current that tripped the relay at the Ontario Hydro Commission plant has never been identified, but initially the tentative suspicion was centered on the Clay Substation of the Niagara Mohawk network right there in the Syracuse area, where unidentified aerial phenomenon has been seen by some of the witnesses."
This extends down to the limit of single houses losing their power when a UFO is near. The hypothesis in the case of car stopping is that there might be high magnetic fields, d.c. fields, which saturate the [ignition system solenoid] core and thus prevent the pulses going through the system to the other side. Just how a UFO could trigger an outage on a large power network is however not yet clear. But this is a disturbing series of coincidences that I think warrant much more attention than they have so far received.
Mr. Ryan: As far as you know, has any agency investigated the New York blackout in relation to UFO?
Dr. McDonald: None at all. when I spoke to the FPC people, I was dissatisfied with the amount of information I could gain. I am saying there is a puzzling and slightly disturbing coincidence here. I'm not going on record as saying, yes, these are clear-cut cause and effect relations. I'm saying it ought to be looked at. There is no one looking at this relation between UFO's and outages.
President Johnson at the time of the blackout was at his Texas ranch recovering from an operation to remove his gall bladder and a kidney stone. Johnson heard of the blackout while driving in his limousine some miles from the ranch on the car radio. His first reaction was to phone Buford Ellington. His second call was to Robert McNamara, his Secretary of Defense.
According to the New York Times, from 6:00 pm till he went to bed at 1:00 pm Johnson was on the phone every five to ten minutes with his Buford Ellington, the Director of the Office of Emergency Planning.
Buford Ellington's organization was responsible for major national emergencies such as blackouts, sabotage, nuclear attack, and the like. The man under Ellington whose job it was to deal with the blackout, and figure out what had caused it was J. Leo Bourassa. He was the same man who exactly one month later would appear in the Blue Book file dealing with the crash at Kecksburg Pennsylvania.
According to the records at the Johnson library, Bourassa, using a direct to the Joint Chiefs of Staff Command Center, did direct the blackout emergency from his bunker at Mount Weather. A couple weeks after the event, he wrote his final report to Ellington about what had caused the blackout. The letter hinted at the possible role of UFOs.
From the November 23, 1965 Bourassa report on the blackout we read,
"The lack of specific information at the time, plus the state of confusion that existed in the Northeast U.S., the fact that sabotage, enemy action, and unknown phenomena were all considered possibilities…"
"Had there been any of the above possibilities proven an ATLAS condition would have been recommended," Bourassa wrote.
Although the Pentagon was reporting nothing had been seriously affected, there were facts that showed this was not true. There was secret information that indicated that the situation was much more complex than just a power blackout.
Only a couple days after the blackout a book called "Strike From Space" appeared in the bookstores. Conservative activists Phyllis Schlafly and Rear Admiral Chester Ward (Ret) authored the book. Although it dealt mostly with the growing threat of Soviet space weapons and the Johnson White House's inability to deal with the problem, the book did describe some serious events that were never really made public.
Schlafly and Ward relied on the counsel of a cast of military advisers for their book. Some of those names that included some names that have become very prominent in the UFO community. One was General Cutis LeMay who told Senator Barry Goldwater that not only could he not see the rumored Blue Room at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, but he should never even ask about it again. The second key adviser to the book was Hoover Institution strategic theorist Dr Stefan Possony, who had been attendee at the 1953 CIA UFO Scientific Advisory Panel meetings.
The book claimed that not only had the lights gone out all over the eastern United States, in an
underground command post called High Point, near Berryville, Virginia, Air Force Colonel J Leo Bourassa was picking up nuclear alerts from a national network of nuclear blast detection devices called System 210-A, or "Bomb Alarm." Something had thrown the northeastern United States into the dark and was making it appear that the United States was under nuclear attack.
One recounting of the incident stated,
"The Bomb Alarm display board at High Point (Mount Weather) was blazing with yellow lights, indicating that communications links to the BMEWS site in Thule, Greenland, as well as twenty-one other System 210-A sites, had gone down. But worse – much worse – two of the sensors, the ones for Salt Lake City and Charlotte, North Carolina, were showing red. Red for nuclear detonations. Bourassa assumed the worst – that a surgical nuclear attack was under way – and placed Mt Weather on full alert. It was the one and only time that the facility went on alert during the Cold War."
Bourassa called the full alert and called it off a couple days later. It was probably the type of action that he liked, in light of the fact that in November 1954 Bourassa quit his government job "because of not enough work to do."
Exactly one month later he would be busy again. This time it would involve the possible recovery of an downed UFO object in Kecksburg Pennsylvania.
Once again the Top Secret Continuity of Government people like Bourassa inside Mount Weather would appear to be involved. That is another story for another day.

'Pawn Stars' creator eyeing S.A.
Will San Antonio be the setting of a future reality hit?
Brent Montgomery, who grew up in the Alamo City, and is the force behind the cable mega-hit "Pawn Stars," would like to make that happen. "I'm always looking for great TV characters and an excuse to come home more often," he said in a phone chat from New York. "My casting and development people know San Antonio is where I want to be."
For now, though, the 36-year-old Wunderkind will have to be satisfied with the 15 series he already has in the works. At the top is "Pawn Stars" on History Channel. In its sixth season, the show remains the reality ratings leader of cable TV, he said. "We were neck and neck with 'Jersey Shore' for a while, but overtook it this year."
I understand why. This colorful half-hour set at a Vegas pawn shop run by three burly, tell-it-like-it-is generations of the Harrison family — granddad Richard, son Rick and grandson Corey — has become my latest fixation. I love their colorful insult swapping and vivid chats about collectibles brought into their shop — from vintage American currency to weapons from every era to wonderful old-timey toys. Two new episodes air back to back in the 9 p.m. hour on Mondays. This week, the guys assess the value of a Civil War artillery sword and paintings by actor Tony Curtis.
My favorite part of each transaction? What Montgomery calls "the haggle moment," when the Harrisons argue with patrons over what a particular item is worth. "They may look like plumbers, but they're as smart as professors," Montgomery, founder of Leftfield Pictures, said of his signature half-hour.
It also is a perfect fit during troubled economic times. "People think, 'If I lost my job tomorrow, could I find something in my garage or backyard that would have value?'" Montgomery reasoned. "It's kind of a different type of lottery."
The oldest of three in a military family here, Montgomery first had aspired to be a TV sportscaster. During a break from A&M University, he even interned at WOAI — then KMOL — under the guidance of sports anchor Don Harris.
He soon saw that going behind the scenes might be more practical, moved to New York and sold his first show in 2008: "The Principal's Office" on TruTV, which consisted of funny and dramatic encounters between students and principals. His former principal from Castle Hills First Baptist got a smile out of that, he said. "She told me, 'So you were trying to do research that whole time?'"
A year later, while in Vegas for a bachelor party, he found what he calls his "game-changer." "My friend and I wanted to come up with a show set in Vegas and I said: 'What about a pawn shop?'" Of course, it had to be the right shop and the right guys. They found both at The Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, pitched it to History and, well, history was made.
"Pawn Stars" has spawned several spinoffs: "Counting Cars" (Tuesdays) and "American Restoration" and "Cajun Pawn Stars" (both on Wednesdays). Montgomery's Leftfield Pictures also produces "Oddities" on Science Channel and "Monster In-Laws" — families trying to cope with meddling in-laws — on A&E.
On the horizon is a new show for CMT. "Full Metal Racket" revolves around a family-run Kentucky gun range, he said. "On there, scorned lovers, for instance, will blow up their exes' furniture." Sounds like a hit in the making.
What does Montgomery tell people who say they can't stomach reality TV of this ilk? The shows are relatively cheap to produce, he responds, so they make a nice profit and can help producers fund more ambitious scripted shows down the line. In fact, he hopes to branch into the scripted arena.
For now, he's got his ear to the ground for an S.A. project. "We're looking especially for reality shows with Hispanic stars; there's definitely an appetite for these shows that isn't being serviced."

The selective insecticides now entering the cotton market offer new opportunities for growers, scouts and consultants. But more expertise will be required to use these products effectively and profitably, said Phillip Roberts, University of Georgia Extension entomologist.
"Selective chemistry requires more expertise, especially when deciding how the use of a product will affect the big picture of cotton production," said Roberts.
In recent years, several new insecticides have been introduced for cotton, he said. "We have new labels and several experimental insecticides that are currently under development by industry. Most of the chemistry being brought to the marketplace is very selective — it's specific to a group of insects or even individual insects. Also, these products are more expensive than our traditional pyrethroids," he said.
These new insecticides, he adds, have a "safe" environmental profile — a requirement before a new product to be brought to market.
Before discussing the new chemistry, Roberts said there still are several "non-insecticide" tools available to cotton producers. "One of these is a egg identification kit. In certain areas of Georgia, it has become very important that we know which species are in the field. For example, we need to know if it's corn earworm or tobacco budworm. We can get a good idea by looking at moths as we scout the fields. But these egg identification kits give us much better data," said the entomologist.
Integrated pest management also offers many opportunities for improved insect control, said Roberts. "IPM is simple. It's just using all available control tactics, and putting them together so we can produce cotton as efficiently as possible. I like to look at IPM as being informed pest management, or even innovative pest management," he said.
Georgia growers have been fortunate in recent years that they haven't had to treat for heavy insect pressure, he said. "But making the decision to treat and knowing which product to use actually has become more difficult. The easy out is to just spray a field. Knowing when to hold back is much more difficult."
Cotton production in Georgia has been made easier by the elimination of the boll weevil, notes Roberts.
"It is vitally important that we remain free of boll weevils. This past year, we had one small re-infestation of weevils in Dooly County. But only about 200 acres were treated, and that's very good. We've never gone an entire year without catching a boll weevil in Georgia. I would encourage growers to do everything possible to prevent bringing weevils into the state, including not bringing machinery in from infested areas."
New chemistry
Several new products have been introduced recently for use in cotton insect control, said Roberts. They include Confirm, Intrepid and Steward.
"Confirm and Intrepid are sister products — they're both insect growth regulators. These products have very minimal impact on predators and parasites. They are very safe compounds for users, with a re-entry interval of only four hours. These are safe, selective compounds — the type we'll continue to see being brought to market."
Confirm has been available for beet armyworm control under a Section 18 in Georgia since the mid-1990s, he said. "It's a good product for beet armyworms. It has a long residual action, and it's a slow-acting product. It's also labeled for fall armyworms, but that's a difficult pest to control, and we still need to do some work in that area."
Intrepid, which was labeled this past October, is very similar to Confirm, said Roberts. "It has a broad spectrum of activity over various caterpillar pests. It is labeled for beet armyworms, fall armyworms, soybean loopers, tobacco budworms and corn earworms. We'll be looking at using this product on the armyworm complex and loopers. At the rates needed for controlling tobacco budworms, it'll probably be too expensive to use this product."
Steward is a very selective product, he said, and is specific to caterpillar pests. It has a very small impact on predators and parasites.
"The mode of action of this product is somewhat similar to a pyrethroid, yet it is different, so there's no cross-resistance. If you have pyrethroid-resistant tobacco budworms, Steward would offer control of that population just as it would on a susceptible population. It is a new mode of action offering broad-spectrum caterpillar control.
"It has minimal impact on bigeyed bugs and minute pirate bugs, but it does have activity on plant bugs. I wouldn't consider this a cleanup type treatment for major plant bug problems. There is some activity on stinkbugs, but it's not the level of activity needed to control the pests. We'll learn more about this product as we get into larger fields this year."
The primary way for an insect to be affected by Steward is through ingestion, said Roberts. This puts a premium on coverage, he adds.
"Coverage will be very important. It's not a cleanup treatment. These new products aren't like pyrethroids — you can't go into a field and kill large worms. You must use these products correctly, and they must be targeted against small worms if they are to be successful."
Selective insecticides, he said, give growers the opportunity to preserve beneficials and to avoid flare-ups from other insect pests like aphids or beet armyworms.
Growers must consider several factors when they incorporate selective insecticides into their management programs, notes Roberts. "In some situations, we'll have to deal with multiple pests, and we must think about the economics. This new technology will offer a lot of opportunities, but it'll require more expertise to get the most returns from these products.
"We must continue to think about resistance management. It's critical to maintain the efficacy of pyrethroids on corn earworms. In areas, we now have multiple modes of action for tobacco budworms and corn earworms. We have an opportunity to truly practice resistance management in rotating this chemistry."
Roberts advises growers not to treat successive generations of insect pests with the same chemistry. "We have a generation of tobacco budworms every 30 days. We must position different products so that we can rotate them. The bottom line is that we need to fit these products into the system so we'll get the most return."
Scouts and consultants become even more important with the advent of selective chemistry, he said. "The best money you'll spend for insect control will be whatever you spend to hire a good scout or consultant. As we move toward selective chemistry, expertise becomes even more important. Pest management is more than just scouting — it's making difficult decisions."

MADRID (Reuters) - The Spanish tennis federation (RFET) said on Thursday it had decided not to extend the contract of Davis Cup captain Alex Corretja when it expires at the end of this year but has yet to name a successor.
Former world number one Carlos Moya, who retired from the ATP Tour at the end of 2010, will take over to prepare Spain for their opening World Group tie at home to Germany at the end of January, local media reported.
Juan Carlos Ferrero, another former number one, had also been considered for the job, they added.
Corretja succeeded Albert Costa, now RFET sporting director, as Davis Cup captain after Spain's triumph against Argentina in the 2011 final.
They were runners-up to Czech Republic last year before a depleted team missing injured talisman Rafa Nadal, who was also absent from the 2012 final, suffered a surprise defeat away to Canada in the 2013 first round.
Nadal, who like Moya is from the Balearic island of Mallorca, returned to help Spain retain their elite World Group status in a playoff against Ukraine this month.
Corretja said after the 5-0 victory in Madrid he would like to continue but the federation has decided on a fresh start.
"The RFET announces that, guided by the criteria of the sporting department and with the backing of the board of directors, it has been decided not to extend Alex Corretja's contract as captain of the men's national tennis team on December 31," the federation said in a brief statement on Thursday.
Corretja was quoted as saying in local media that the RFET had not given him any reasons for their decision or informed him who would take over.
"Albert Costa told be two months ago he thought I should carry on," Corretja told reporters.
"I don't know what has changed since then, because we have even won a tie," he added.
"At our meeting they ended by saying the decision had been taken by the president (Jose Luis Escanuela)."
In March 1999, Moya became the first Spaniard to rise to number one since the ATP rankings were introduced and held the spot for two weeks.
One of the finest moments of his Davis Cup career came in Seville in 2004 when he beat Andy Roddick to clinch the title against the United States.
Ferrero, who retired last year, helped the Iberian nation to their first triumph in the competition in 2000 and their subsequent victories in 2004 and 2009.

Now in its third year, the annual Skillman Avenue Lighting Ceremony was held on Nov. 29 with the help of Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer and other local officials.
"This began with a promise," Van Bramer said, discussing the expansion of lights to 43rd Street since the beginnings of the ceremony.
The holiday snowflakes that hang from the lampposts along Skillman Avenue from 43rd Street to 53rd Street, have become a celebrated and popular community fixture each holiday season for residents and business owners of both Sunnyside and Woodside.
The lighting ceremony featured a variety of performances from the Sunnyside Drum Corps., Christmas caroling by the choirs of PS 11 and PS 150, and a finale from singer-songwriter Paul Byrom.
Gina Morino, owner of Aubergine Café on Skillman Avenue, helped pass out free hot cocoa and cider to those attending the event.
"It's good to get in the spirit," said Sunnyside resident Sean McGowan, out with his daughter Sydney. His wife, Deborah, and their son Garrett also attended the event.
"We're first-timers," said Nou Rossi, a neighbor of the McGowan's, accompanied by his daughter, Madeline. "I think we'll be coming from now on."
Father Brian Dowd from the Queen of Angels Church on Skillman Avenue also reminded guests how lucky everyone was to enjoy the holiday festivities since Sandy hit a few weeks ago.

No, it's not the 700c wheel on your hipster fixie or the busted 700 snowmobile that your homie dumped in your yard. 700 is inches, as in snowfall to date at Sierra-at-Tahoe for the 2010-2011 season! That's 37 pow days, 123 of continuous shred, and countless face shots. Bust out your snorkel and jump into the deepest deeps in years.

Flames Unveil New Uniforms!/
The Calgary Flames have become the 14th NHL team to unveil their new Rbk EDGE uniforms. Check out Craig Conroy modeling the newest in the progression of Flames sweaters.
The element that seems to be causing the most controversy is the patch on the right shoulder which is the flag of the province of Alberta.
The left shoulder of the jersey features the Canadian flag. From the team's official release: "Among the enhancements, we are pleased to carry our National and Provincial flags on our home and road jerseys this season," said Flames President & CEO Ken King.
"As proud Canadians and proud Albertans, our desire is to display the identity of our country and province and carry them throughout North America and the world. Our jersey incorporates our strong history, the latest in technology, and is something our players and fans will be proud to wear."
These new jerseys are very nice and Flames fans should be thrilled! Enjoy your big day!
Coming tomorrow... the Pittsburgh Penguins.
UPDATE (5:06 PM): Thought you guys might like to see these jerseys on players in full gear. Here, Dion Phaneuf and Matt Lombardi model the new uniforms at the unveiling ceremony at Flames Central today.
I can't say I have any complaints. I'm really liking the giant logos on the front. I never liked the huge jerseys with such small logos on the front. Never really made any sense to me. It's your team's symbol. Show it off, dammit!
Anyway, thanks for the comments you guys have posted so far. I'm sure there will be many more to come. As for my two cents, I think the flag shoulder logos are a very nice touch. I don't think the blue flag clashes at all. I think it just stands out.
I also like the idea someone suggested of the Oilers incorporating a new shoulder logo with the outline of Alberta. The Lightning's secondary logo has an outline of the state of Florida and I really like that.

Twenty-eighth installment from the diary of my great-grandfather's sister Alise, written during the First World War. When the diary starts, she is living just a few miles from the front lines of the Eastern Front, and is then forced to flee with her husband and two young daughters to her family's house near Limbaži as the war moves even closer. Her third child, a son, was born there in February 1916. The family has now relocated to a home near Valmiera. For more background, see here, and click on the tag "diary entries" to see all of the entries that I have posted.

Myth II : Soulblighter is the sequel to the incredibly popular Myth :
The Fallen Lords, one of '97s standout games. This time around a
Direct3D renderer is added to the original's Glide and Software
renderers, allowing for a much larger target audience. Having
played the original infrequently, and never really getting into it,
this review focuses on Myth II as a game in it's own right, as
opposed to a comparison between Myth and Myth II.
The interface designed for Myth II is the epitome of elegance,
allowing the novice complete control over his various minions of
pillage. Anyone familiar with other RTS games will appreciate its
simplicity, as well as the power it offers to the advanced user.
Formations, a part of the game whereby the user can control how
his troops form up prior to battle, are well implemented and
extremely important to successful campaigning. Dividing warriors
into various battle groups is also essential to success, and the
game handles this easily. All in all, a job well done in the controls
department. Pathfinding and AI were good as well, but nothing
The single player game was fun to play, with much of the credit for
that being given to the great cutscenes and the atmospheric
storytelling that drives the missions. For most of the missions you
can take your time, which is good, since this is a strategy game
and planning is essential. Also, in a break from the classical RTS
mold, you do not mine anything in this game, no ore, no gold, no
nothing. You are a commander in the field of battle, not a
bureaucrat. One feature I really loved about this game was the
way terrain was handled. Placing archers atop a hill really does
give them a huge advantage, as their range and accuracy
increases. The opposite of course is true for troops forced to run
uphill during an attack, they become much less effective. This is
something that I felt was missing from most other games of this
genre, and is a welcome feature that really brings the game to
another level, especially in multiplayer.
Graphically speaking, Myth II is far and away the best looking pure
strategy game available. The scenery looks great, the 3d terrain is
awesome, water effects etc., are all there. Units within the game
have fairly good animations, a little on the skimpy side though.
They don't move quite as fluidly as you'd expect, which brings me
to the Achilles' heel of the Myth II rendering engine: chop. I've got
a fairly powerful system, and during battles the game would get
really, really choppy. During some multiplayer battles it was
disgustingly bad. This could be because I chose the normal install
(100mb on HD) as opposed to the large install (500mb), but that is
still unacceptable. Companies have got to wake up and realize
that people don't have 500mb of HD space to devote to one game.
Regardless, if you can live with the periodic slowdowns, the
graphics are second to none.
The sound effects in this game were adequate, but one thing that I
felt really stood out was the music. The music plays perfectly to the
overall mood of the game, and really added atmosphere. Add
great music to very well animated cutscenes and you have a killer
vehicle to carry the plot.
I didn't get to test this as much as I'd have liked, due to lack of
competition, but from what I've seen the multiplayer works very
well (granted, I played a cable opponent, and am on cable
myself). Players have the option of playing via bungie.net, creating
their own TCP/IP games, or playing over LAN. The quality of your
multiplayer experience will undoubtedly depend on your
connection, as well as the quality of the competition =)
Fun Factor:
Great fun, especially if you are a fan of the RTS genre. This game
gives you the opportunity to be the commander you've always
wanted to be, without the hassles of micromanaging SCVs and
Good game, excellent graphics (if a bit on the slow side), fun
multiplayer, great sound, excellent story-driven missions. All in all,
a great game.
Bungie is back; not only to make a lot more money and win a few
more awards, but also to prove that they should be a recognized
force within the gaming industry. Myth 2: Soulblighter is one of the
most highly anticipated titles of 1998. It is the sequel to a game
that won many prestigious awards last year and was picked by
many as the game of the year. Many gamers around the globe
have been eagerly awaiting the release of Myth 2: Soulblighter,
and now the wait is finally over. The only question left is whether
or not it lives up to the standard set by its predecessor, and can it
surpass them. This time around we see the introduction of a choice
between Direct3D rendering and the standard Glide and Software
rendering. It seems that Bungie is hoping to strike a greater target
The story line of the game is fairly simple; good versus evil. This is
a short extract from Bungie to familiarize yourself with the role
you will take in the game. "It's been 60 years since the Battle at
the Great Devoid put an end to the Fallen in Myth: The Fallen
Lords. For the last 10 years, Alric's army has stood down, sure that
Soulblighter is gone forever. But some think that Soulblighter still
lives, if so, the kingdom is in a position of extreme peril." The
storyline slowly unfolds as you progress through the levels. This
was my favorite aspect of the game because of the realistic
sounding storytelling which really absorbs you into the game and
captures your attention.
The gameplay in Myth 2 is very strategically and tactically sound.
It's not simply a game of brawling, but is something that may
require you to think. I found this a bit of a challenge, especially
having come from games such as Warcraft 2, where my sheer
brutality was unstoppable. There is a lot of attacking and
counter-attacking, move and counter-move going on in each level.
I found a lot of the earlier levels didn't require you to do this as
much, but as you progress through Myth 2, a slight lack of thinking
will cut you down to size. A good feature is the ability to set your
units into several different formations. However, I found this slow
and tedious at times as the units often kept running into each
other. A big aspect of Myth 2's gameplay that was either going to
make it or break it was it's user control. Being a 3d based world,
you must be able to master the control of your units and their
surroundings. The biggest problem I had in the original was the
rather extreme learning curve to get a full understanding of how to
play the game. It seems Bungie heard our cries and have
implemented a few new features to help the novice along. They
implemented control bars on the screen with easy click icons to
help beginning learn the game. I found that I could do nearly
everything with the keyboard. Rotating the surroundings is now
done with either the use of keys or the mouse. I found this a little
confusing at first, but once I mastered the keys it became very
useful. It allows you to get better angles for attacking or defending.
I only have 2 complaints in terms of the gameplay. The first is the
angle at which you begin the game. Even with the zoom function, I
found it very frustrating and quite annoying that I could not easily
change the angle at which I looked upon the world of Myth 2. The
second is the rather annoying fact that Bungie, as far as I can see,
have removed one of the most important features of any strategy
game: the ability to de-select your units with your right mouse
button. There may be the option to bind the right mouse button to
this, but I can't see why it was taken out of Myth 2. Everyone who
played the original Myth would have got used to this feature, and
now they are going to have to learn something new. Ridiculous!
Apart from these minor glitches I found Myth 2's gameplay up with
the best. The A/I is better this time around and generally every
other aspect has been improved.
First of all I just wanted to point out again that Myth 2 now allows
for Direct3D rendering while retaining the standard Glide and
Software rendering options. The graphics in Myth 2 are simply
stunning. I loaded this game up and I was in awe of the beautiful
3D terrain that was presented before me. I found the graphics
extremely smooth and the animations perfectly smooth as well.
The units are semi-realistic in that they have a cartoony element of
puffiness to them. Also when they get butchered, what was left of
them sometimes left me wondering what we humans have inside
of us. There is the use of 16 different camera perspectives around
each character which makes a fairly realistic looking creature;
only 8 different camera perspectives were used in the original
Myth. A good feature in Myth 2 is the ability to change to a
resolution of 1024x768 and the use of 24 bit color. This gives us an
overall more detailed view of the world in Myth 2. You can
certainly notice a difference with the use of 24 bit coloring. There
is also an abundance of life running around, being it pigs,
chickens, or even fish jumping in the water area's, that add to the
detail of Myth 2.
Total Audio is back again to re-create the wonderful sounds we
experienced in the first Myth. Total Audio would have to be up
there with the best in the music industry and they do not for a
minute let us down. Myth 2 now offers support for 3D sound, which
gave an added sense of realism to the game. It allows the player
the ability to get a better grasp of their surroundings: you can now
hear things approach from the distance, and it actually does sound
like they are getting closer and closer. It also allows you to judge
things such as the distance you are from an enemy as they are
coming in for an attack, without even looking. I loved the sound of
the waterfalls: a gentle splash here and there. This kind of realism
adds to the enjoyment of the game. Speech within the game is
amazing. The narrator brings life each and every level with an
intriguing story. The blurbs the units say are also very amusing and
in times of hardship the little mirth they do give is welcome. The
music of the game is simply stunning. I was a little disappointed
that the music only appears between levels but still, it was
This game kicks ass; it contains the aspects of a good strategy
game as well as the ability to use skill to win, rather than your
mouse clicking power. If you love the RTS genre, this is the game
for you. You don't have to worry about building or harvesting shit,
you simply get to command your troops and make them kick some
butt. Net games such as Assassin, Stampede, Hunting, and King of
the Hill makes this game a real blast.
I have been waiting a long time for a game that can completely
immerse me into its unique atmosphere and keep me there. The
sound, graphics, gameplay and the sheer amount of fun that can
be extracted from this game make it in my opinion, one of the best
games this year, if not the "Game of the Year". Multiplayer was
excellent and I found the tutorial very handy. Additionally there
are two campaign editors which allow you to create your own 3d
maps complete with sounds and units. If you're into this kind of a
game, this is a must for your Christmas list.

Revision as of 08:25, 8 August 2015
- 1 Summary
- 2 Prerequisites
- 3 Download FujiXerox DocuPrint 203A drivers
- 4 Extracting the RPM files
- 5 Editing files to make them work with Arch
- 6 Installing the driver and printer
- 7 Regional Settings
- 8 Alternate Method using pacman
This guide explains how to install a FujiXerox DocuPrint 203A laserjet printer using CUPS.
Note: If you already attempted (and failed) to install the driver in CUPS, remove it before proceeding with this tutorial.
This tutorial assumes you have already configured the CUPS printer server. There is plenty of existing information to get this working.
Download FujiXerox DocuPrint 203A drivers
Download the driver(HERE). The driver is a zip file which contains 2 parts: the LPR Driver and the CUPS wrapper. Save the file to /home/username and decompress the file using the following command:
$ unzip dp203a_linux_cc25.zip
Enter the directory:
$ cd dp203a_linux/rpm
Extracting the RPM files
You'll need to grab a script to extract the files from the RPM packages, so log in as root and execute:
# pacman -S rpmextract
Then extract both RPM files:
$ rpmextract.sh DocuPrint_203_A-lpr-1.1.2-4.i386.rpm $ rpmextract.sh cupswrapperDocuPrint_203_A-1.0.2-2.i386.rpm
You should now have two sub-directories: usr and var
Editing files to make them work with Arch
Arch Linux uses its own filesystem hierarchy, so you must edit some files to match it. Use your favorite text editor (i.e. vim, emacs or nano) and open
Replace all instances of /etc/init.d/ with /etc/rc.d/ Save and close
Next, edit:
Replace all instances of /etc/printcap.local with /etc/printcap Save and close
Now we're ready to copy the files to their respective places on our system (you'll need to be root for this)
# cp -r /home/username/dp203a_linux/rpm/usr/* /usr # cp -r /home/username/dp203a_linux/rpm/var/* /var
Installing the driver and printer
Now let's run the installation script (again, as root):
# cd /usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/ # ./cupswrapperDocuPrint_203_A-1.0.2
Upon completion the script will attempt to restart the CUPS daemon if it was running. Now browse to the CUPS server : http://localhost:631/
Under the Administration category, choose Manage printers. You should now see your DocuPrint 203A printer automatically installed and configured.
Print a test page and configure the printer settings to your liking.
Regional Settings
Make sure to set your printer preferences to match your region. For example, if you live in North America (Canada, US, Mexico) your paper size should be changed from the Default "A4" to "Letter". Sometimes this will be done automatically by your Desktop Environment (e.g. KDE) but it's worthwhile to check it yourself or the text on your pages won't align properly.
Alternate Method using pacman
Install the CUPS
# pacman -S cups
Install the foomatic printer library
# pacman -S foomatic-db foomatic-db-engine foomatic-filters foomatic-db-ppd
Install the hplip library
# pacman -S hplip
Start the CUPS printing system
# /etc/rc.d/cupsd start
Enter the configuration page by entering following URL : http://localhost:631/ in Firefox. Do it step by step. In the driver setting, choose the DocuPrint P8e(hpijs) driver.

Amazing Emmy winner rides in for breakfastBy REBECCA HARPER - Waikato Times | Saturday, 05 January 2008COROMANDEL STAR: The Amazing Race presenter Phil Keoghan breakfasts with wife Louise and a friend at Umu Cafe yesterday.Phil Keoghan was the first to arrive at his pit stop yesterday but Coromandel holidaymakers appeared oblivious to having an Emmy-winning reality TV star in their midst.Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race in which competing couples race to complete challenges around the world, cycled the 26km from his holiday home in Matarangi to Coromandel without apparently encountering any road blocks or detours, to breakfast with his wife Louise and friends at Umu Cafe.Keoghan and his family are based in Santa Monica, but the New Zealand-born star has been spending Christmas on the Coromandel Peninsula since 1989."We started coming here when Louise's family established a house here and it's become a tradition. All of the family comes," he said.Originally from Christchurch, Keoghan said he visited New Zealand in between filming commitments up to 12 times a year.Sporting a few blisters on his hand, Keoghan took just over an hour to cycle the windy hill to Coromandel."We took it easy today because we did quite a hard ride yesterday. We've also been paddle boating, which is great exercise for core strengthening and complements the cycling."There's also been time to fit in waterskiing and wakeboarding since the family arrived on December 22. They fly out this weekend as Keoghan is about to shoot the 13th season of The Amazing Race.At the moment he is scouting for locations."I got involved with the show in 2000. I'd been to 60 countries before I shot the race, so it just offered me another opportunity to continue that travel."It's a really amazing job and fits in perfectly with the philosophy of my book No Opportunity Wasted, which is about giving people a kick up the arse to get off the couch and do the things they've always wanted to do."
Maybe it will follow BB9?
I can tell you that I do not believe AR 13 has started.
Keynote speaker Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race, will be giving his view on getting the most out of life with his "No Opportunity Wasted" philosophy. Phil's keynote address will be at 11 a.m. in the auditorium, with a meet-and-greet session immediately following at the Courier & Press booth.

Recently announced in a black finish, the original chrome-bodied version was the first telephoto zoom for the firm's NEX mirrorless models and was intended to complement the 18-55mm kit lens. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Tamron has released a new modestly priced, stabilized super-telephoto zoom for both full-frame and APS-C cameras, the SP 150-600mm f5-6.3 Di VC USD. How does this $1,100 model compare against the slightly shorter-range Sigma and Canon offerings?
Canon was the last maker to introduce a mirrorless camera to the market and after something of a false start with EOS M, the company has released an update with the same Hybrid CMOS II sensor as the company's Rebel SL1 (100D). Read on to find out how the new, Asia only, EOS M2 performs.
Continuing our series of evaluation of lens systems we've assessed a modest range of Pentax and third-party lenses for their optical quality on the firm's new flagship Pentax K-3 model. As the replacement for the K-5 II and K-5 IIs, the Pentax K-3 has a new higher pixel density 24-Mpix sensor without an AA filter, and is a promising platform for lens evaluation. Read on to find out which models perform best, and which, if any, that should be avoided.

Guide To Attending a Homeschool Expo
Have you stayed away from the Homeschool Expo just because of the magnitude of it all? Looking at the listing of workshops or a peak into the exhibit hall can give you a deer in the headlights look! Where do you start?

Eurozone consumer confidence is weak and more than likely will get weaker. U.S. bonds are starting to run as investors start to look to the U.S. as a safe haven play. That mood may play into the oil momentum for a while, if we see increased panic the rally could fail. Technically oil looks poised to test near $97 a barrel, which should be close to the upper end of our range as the weakening euro should help provide overhead resistance.
What also seems to be providing some overhead resistance is last night's American Petroleum Institute Report. We saw crude supply increase by 3.7 million barrels. The build, along with euro woes, seemed to slow the U.S. durable goods and home price inspired rally. The other issue that may hurt momentum is the fact that the API reported an increase in crude supply in Cushing, Okla. The drawdown in Cushing supply is one reason that we have seen the WTI gain on the Brent crude. The thinking is that as the Seaway Pipeline and oil by rail gets the oil out of Cushing and to the refiners, the glut will ease and prices will get more in line with the Brent price. It is also the reason that as reported by Bloomberg News that "Light Louisiana Sweet" and other Gulf Coast crudes traded at the tightest spread in almost two years. Light Louisiana versus WTI fell by $4.50, the biggest on day drop since November 20th.
The API also showed a drop in Gasoline stocks after the RBOB market showed its first signs of bullish life in weeks. Position traders on my trade levels who rode the short side should cover if only for seasonal considerations. It was a nice slide but all good trades must come to an end.
But it is possible that the Natural gas trade is just getting started. Cold temperatures helped whip this market 14% higher this month, and despite the fact that we failed to close above $4 we still posted the highest close since Sept. 14, 2011. Commodity funds have been active as the demand for gas is rising at an incredible pace. Rig counts while jumping last week have been trending lower as one of the best kept secrets in trading may be starting to emerge. Of course the forecast for the next 10 to 15 days is helping as it seems that winter will never end!
Yet the commodity funds continue to look beyond winter putting on bullish option strategies. One that seemed prevalent in recent days has been the "fence" where the funds buy out-of-the-money calls and sell a put on the other side to pay for the call. Risky if you get a big break but sweet if the market rallies. Demand is rising as the United States now generates 40% of its electricity from natural gas, up from 20% just a few years ago. That number could go as high as 80% in the next decade. Power generators that will be forced to shut down old coal plant will switch to natural gas.

Frog Design is better known for its work designing computer cases for Apple, but in 1985 Frog Design's Founder Hartmut Esslinger designed the Frog FZ750. A two-wheeled concept vehicle that was a Yamaha FZ750 underneath the skin, the Frog FZ750 actually helped give birth to the venerable Honda Hurricane.
Conceived just a few years after Frog Design opened its California office, the now iconic Frog FZ750 was a reaction to increasing pressure for safer motorcycles (the Yamaha FZ750 was outlawed in the Golden State at the time), and set the standard for a generation of motorcycle design to come.

Prayers that Open Hearts and Spirits
Generally speaking, the prayers here expose King's own wounds as a source of healing for all who feel tested by life's trials and who seek sustenance, reaffirmation, and renewal. These prayers are really a blessing, especially for those persons of faith who believe in the possibilities and reality of what King called "divine companionship." They are prayers that warm the reader's heart during the dark days of doubt, and they also brighten the quest for faith, meaning, identity, and community.
Excerpted from,"Thou, Dear God": Prayers that Open Hearts and Minds, by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., (Beacon Press, 2011). Reprinted with permission from Beacon Press.

EU Finally Realizes The Public Is Watching CETA: Softens Criminal Provisions For Copyright Infringement
from the somewhat-encouraging dept
Last month, through all of the secrecy shrouding the Canada-EU Trade Agreement (CETA), it was revealed that the treaty called for the same criminal copyright sanctions that European citizens widely rejected when those same sanctions showed up in ACTA. This was just as people feared, and those who noticed were furious that the EU would try to quietly undo the public's ACTA victory so quickly and brazenly. Of course, the reaction to CETA is so far nowhere near the critical mass that led to the ACTA protests — but it looks like the negotiators are afraid of recent history repeating, and may just have gotten the message that they can't do whatever they want behind the public's back. TechCentral reports (found via The 1709 Blog) that more recent CETA documents reveal a weakening of the ACTA-like criminal provisions. There has even been some stance-softening from pro-ACTA powerhouse Karel De Gucht:
...according to documents from the Cyprus Presidency of the EU seen by IDG News Service, the CETA text has been greatly watered down in order to avoid a similar outcome [to ACTA]. The intellectual property protection chapter is now understood to say that countries "may" provide for criminal procedures and penalties.
Even European Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht, who pushed hard for the ACTA agreement, admits that changes must be made. "Since the negative vote of the European Parliament on ACTA, we have been changing the language obviously," he said in an interview with Vieuws.eu. "We should have no illusions, there are still a number of difficult issues to tackle."
Interestingly, though, there is still a strong push for CETA to include criminal sanctions for video recording in movie theaters... championed by Canadian negotiators. We've had a specific criminal law against recording a movie without permission of the theater owner in Canada since 2007 — a law that, like many of Canada's anti-piracy efforts, was primarily the result of U.S lobbying. This is typical of U.S. tactics when it comes to intellectual property law: push your closest friends and neighbors to adopt the strictest laws possible, then put pressure on international negotiations to export those laws around the globe and enshrine them as the norm. Thankfully, these latest leaked negotiation documents suggest that the EU is against Canada's proposal.

While a whole roast chicken is a wonderful thing, it does involve post-cooking cutting it up, which can be a little daunting. Buying chicken already cut into parts allows you to pick the pieces or assortment of pieces your family likes, takes less cooking time, and cuts out that pesky carving step. Yet you still get the wonderful qualities of roasting: the juiciness, the moistness, the tenderness, the flavor. This recipe may call for a higher heat than you usually use, but that's how to get that amazing crispy skin (which you can pull off, if you wish, you model of self-restraint you, but do it after the chicken is cooked). You'll need to buy skin-on, bone-in chicken; that's the key. Other than that, thighs, breasts, drumsticks, even whole legs or chicken halves are fair game (ha! I didn't even see that one coming). You can rub the chicken with any of the rubs a day ahead; this allows the seasonings to permeate the meat.
What the Kids Can Do Note: They can help measure the ingredients for any of the rubs, and if your kids aren't grossed out by the prospect, they can rub the rubs onto the chicken. Follow this by a lengthy hand washing in warm, soapy water (and a reminder not to stick their hands in their mouths until after the soapy water bit).–Katie Workman
LC Dinner on the Double, er, Triple Note
Nothing against a whole roast chicken, although as Katie Workman explains above, roasting these here chicken parts is slightly quicker and, arguably, a little easier. In addition being dinner on the double, it's also eminently customizable, enabling you to draw on any–or all–of these spice rubs, even going so far as to reach for each family member's favorite for their portion. Dinner on the triple, actually. Seeing as how the rubs keep almost indefinitely, you may as well mix up a big batch of each and keep them within weeknight reach.
Spiced Roast Chicken
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- For the spiced Cajun rub
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano (optional)
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- For the warm spice rub
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- For the spiced curry rub
- 4 teaspoons curry powder
- 4 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt
- For the chicken
- 1 whole (about 4 pounds) chicken, cut into 8 pieces, or about 4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken parts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the baking sheet (optional)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- Make a rub
- 1. Combine all the ingredients for the rub of your choice in a small bowl.
- Make the chicken
- 2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and adjust the oven rack to the lower third of the oven. Lightly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
- 3. Place the chicken in a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and rub each piece, using your hands to ensure each piece is coated evenly. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper, if desired, or a rub and again rub with your hands to coat each piece evenly. (You can cover and refrigerate the chicken pieces for up to 24 hours.) Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking sheet, skin side up, spacing them an inch or so apart.
- 4. Roast the chicken until cooked through and the juices run clear when you cut into a piece with the tip of a sharp knife, 35 to 50 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pieces. Dark meat will take longer to cook than white meat. If you want to test the chicken for doneness using an instant-read thermometer, an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for both chicken breasts and dark meat is recommended. Remember, though, that the chicken will continue to cook slightly more after it is removed from the oven, particularly if it sits on the baking sheet. If the skin needs more crisping to be to your liking, simply run the chicken under the broiler for a few minutes. Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving so the juices can regroup. The chicken is quite nice whether served hot, warm, or cold.
