No. 81,106
1. Review by the Workers Compensation Board is limited to final orders, awards, modification of awards, or preliminary awards under K.S.A. 44-534a and amendments thereto.
2. In appeals to the Workers Compensation Board, K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(a)(2) lists disputed issues which are subject to Board review: whether the claimant suffered an injury by accident; whether the injury arose out of and in the course of employment; whether notice was given or claim timely made; or whether certain defenses apply.
3. The term "certain defenses" in K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a refers to defenses subject to review by the Workers Compensation Board only if they dispute the compensability of the injury under the Workers Compensation Act.
4. In a workers compensation case, the record is examined and it is held: Where the insurance carrier appealed from a determination made by the administrative law judge on the issue of policy coverage, the Board did not err when it dismissed the appeal pursuant to K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a.
Appeal from the Workers Compensation Board. Opinion filed December 17, 1999. Affirmed.
Lyndon W. Vix and William L. Townsley, of Fleeson, Gooing, Coulson & Kitch, L.L.C., of Wichita, for appellant.
Kendall R. Cunningham, of Gilliland & Hayes, P.A., of Wichita, for appellee National Filter Service.
Before JUSTICE ABBOTT, presiding, STEPHEN D. HILL, District Judge, assigned, and ROBERT J. SCHMISSEUR, District Judge, assigned.
HILL, J.: Travelers Insurance Company (Travelers) appeals the dismissal of its administrative appeal to the Workers Compensation Board (Board). We affirm.
The claimant, Robert Carpenter, while an employee of National Filter Service (National), injured his knee while working in Minnesota. National has offices in Wichita. The claimant's contract was signed in Kansas. The claimant's job required him to travel to stores at various locations in the Midwest.
At the time of the claimant's accident, National had obtained workers compensation coverage under an insurance policy issued by Royal Insurance Company (Royal). The policy is administered by Travelers in Kansas.
The administrative law judge made a preliminary award to the claimant of temporary total disability benefits from the date of the accident forward and the cost of medical treatment. The judge assessed the costs of all benefits against Travelers and Royal.
Travelers appealed to the Board, arguing the policy did not cover injuries in Kansas. The Board dismissed the appeal.
The Board's review is limited to final orders, awards, modifications of awards, or preliminary awards under K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a. See K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-551(b)(1).
In this appeal, Travelers argues that the assessment entered by the judge was a preliminary award. Therefore, we must look to the Workers Compensation Act for the methods of its administration. See Jones v. Continental Can. Co., 260 Kan. 547, 557, 920 P.2d 939 (1996). Interpretation of a statute is a question of law, subject to unlimited review. Hamilton v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 263 Kan. 875, 879, 953 P.2d 1027 (1998).
The judge in this case described the proceeding as a preliminary hearing. Preliminary awards, however, are not generally appealable to the Board. See Rivera v. Cimarron Dairy, 267 Kan. 875, 879, 988 P.2d 235 (1999). As the Rivera court stated, the purpose of foreclosing an appeal from a preliminary hearing is to afford the injured employee immediate access to medical and living expenses pending a full hearing. 267 Kan. at 879.
At a preliminary hearing, the judge may summarily award medical and temporary total disability compensation upon a finding that the injury is compensable. If the compensability of the claim or the claimant's entitlement to benefits is disputed, the employer may present evidence on the disputed issues. See K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(a)(2). The statute then lists findings on disputed issues which are subject to Board review: whether the claimant suffered an injury by accident; whether the injury arose out of and in the course of employment; whether notice was given or claim timely made; or whether certain defenses apply. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(a)(2).
The statute does not specify the "certain defenses" which may be appealed to the Board. The statute does state that all the listed findings subject to Board review are considered jurisdictional. Thus, Board review is limited to allegations that the judge exceeded the judge's jurisdiction in entering the preliminary award. See K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-551(b)(2)(A).
Travelers maintains that the judge exceeded his jurisdiction because the claimant was not covered by the Royal policy on the date of the accident. We note that Travelers does not deny the judge has subject matter jurisdiction over insurance liability. However, Travelers does claim it was not a proper party to the proceedings because Royal's policy was not effective in Kansas.
Travelers cites as support King v. El Dorado Motor Co., 181 Kan. 477, 311 P.2d 999 (1957), where the administrative agency was held to have no jurisdiction over an insurance agent or broker who was not qualified to offer workers compensation insurance in Kansas. Travelers argues the judge similarly lacked jurisdiction in this case to assess the preliminary award against it and Royal. Whatever the merits of Travelers' contention, the Board had jurisdiction to review the issue only as provided by the Workers Compensation Act. In this instance, the Board had jurisdiction if the argument raised by Travelers fit under the "certain defenses" provision of K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(a)(2).
It is important to note that K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(a)(2) contemplates disputes in preliminary hearings only over the compensability of the injury and the analogous question of the claimant's entitlement to benefits. It seems to us that the very purpose of the preliminary hearing is to determine whether the claimant should be receiving benefits under the Act. See Shain v. Boeing Military Airplanes, 22 Kan. App. 2d 913, 915, 924 P.2d 1280 (1996). In keeping with this, the disputed findings subject to Board review, other than the "certain defenses," are the findings necessary to establish coverage by the Workers Compensation Act. For example, see K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-501(a), requiring examination as to whether the injury was one arising out of and in the course of employment, and K.S.A. 44-520a(a), raising whether notice and claim were filed in a timely manner. It is in this sense that they are considered jurisdictional.
When construing statutes, this court must construe the several provisions of an act together. See KPERS v. Reimer & Koger Assocs., Inc., 262 Kan. 635, 643-44, 941 P.2d 1321 (1997). Therefore, the Board's jurisdiction to review allegations the judge exceeded the judge's jurisdiction, as provided in K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-551(b)(2)(A), must be read together with K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a. Because in 44-534a jurisdiction means coverage by the Act, "certain defenses" are subject to review only if they dispute the compensability of the injury under the Act.
In Shain, the Fund argued it was not liable under recent amendments to the Workers Compensation Act. An administrative law judge denied the Fund's motion to dismiss and the Board dismissed the Fund's appeal as interlocutory. 22 Kan. App. 2d at 914. A panel of the Court of Appeals determined the judge's order denying dismissal was not a preliminary award under 44-534a because it did not relate to medical or temporary total disability compensation. 22 Kan. App. 2d at 915. In other words, it did not deal with the compensability of the injury.
While the panel found the Board had jurisdiction to consider the order in Shain, the statute controlling Board jurisdiction, 44-551, has since been amended. See L. 1997, ch. 125, § 12. Unlike the law controlling in Shain, which allowed Board review of all acts and findings of a judge, the amended statute restricts review to final orders, awards, and modifications of awards, with the exception of appeals from preliminary awards under 44-534a and amendments thereto. See K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-551(b)(1).
King also is not to the contrary because it did not involve Board jurisdiction over an appeal from a preliminary hearing. See 181 Kan. at 478. Travelers had a right to Board review only if the Workers Compensation Act allows it. The legislature did not provide for Board review from a preliminary award unless the compensability of the injury is disputed.
The ruling in another case cited by Travelers, Hedrick v. U.S.D. No. 259, 23 Kan. App. 2d 783, 935 P.2d 1083 (1997), is also not to the contrary because, as noted above, the statute controlling appeals to the Board has been amended. Because we conclude Travelers' issue was not appealable under K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(a)(2), Hedrick is not dispositive. We also note that while the issue in Hedrick arose from the filing of an application for a preliminary hearing, the claimant there had actually already received a final award in her case. See 23 Kan. App. 2d at 784.
Furthermore, the summary nature of the preliminary hearing extends to the review process. An appeal from a preliminary award may be heard and decided by a single member of the Board. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-551(b)(2)(A). Review by the Board is not subject to judicial review. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(a)(2). The Workers Compensation Act shows a legislative intent to provide quick relief unless the claimant's injury was not compensable under the Workers Compensation Act. Only when compensability is in dispute may the Board review the judge's findings.
Travelers is not without a remedy because preliminary awards and orders are not binding in the full hearing. See K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(a)(2); Waln v. Clarkson Constr. Co., 18 Kan. App. 2d 729, 730, 861 P.2d 1355 (1993). If an insurance carrier pays compensation pursuant to a preliminary award which is then reduced or totally disallowed, the insurance carrier is reimbursed by the Fund. See K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 44-534a(b); Waln, 18 Kan. App. 2d at 730.
Because the issue of policy coverage is not an appeal from a preliminary hearing under 44-534a, the Board did not err in dismissing the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

How to Use This Image Photo 1
Photo 1
(Photo: Edison National Historic Site)
The nickelodeon machines on the left were coin operated phonographs. Patrons could deposit a nickel and then listen to an Edison phonograph record through the listening tubes that can be seen hanging from the machines. The kinetoscopes were also coin operated and were used to watch early Edison motion pictures. After depositing a nickel, the patron viewed a 20-second- to one-minute-long movie through a viewing slit in the top of the box. A visit to a phonograph and kinetoscope parlor was probably the first opportunity that many people had to hear recorded music or see moving images of people.
1. Why do you suppose these machines were all together in one place rather than in private homes?
2. How do you think people responded to these novelties?
3. What later inventions can you think of that might have affected people in the same way?

As the school year starts, I thought I would share the ten most important things I have learned about blogging since I started 2 years ago:
1. Use correct grammar so people understand you. Don't shorten words like you do when you text. For example, write "why" instead of "y".
2. Blogging teaches you how to type. It helps me remember to keep my fingers on the home keys. Now, I can type very fast without looking.
3. When people are nice enough to comment on your blog, comment back so they will return to your blog. This creates an ongoing conversation and give both people a chance to learn more on the topic of the post.
4. Write appropriate blog posts so kids are allowed on your blog. Don't post an inappropriate youtube video or parents won't let their kids return to your blog.
5. Don't write anything mean so you don't hurt feelings. If you write a blog review, only say things you like about it. Don't write, "This is the worst blog ever!". If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.
6. Don't say your last name, or where you live, or what school you go to for internet safety. If you do that someone may be able to locate you.
7. If you see someone do something wrong tell them so they can fix it to help their blog. Sometimes there are spelling mistakes. Let them know so they can correct the post. If your friend writes an inappropriate post, tell them to take it down, so kids are allowed on their blog.
8. Don't post pictures of yourself. This is for safety reasons. You want to try to limit the amount of personal information about yourself. By not posting a picture of your face, people are not able to try to look for you. They do not need any information other than what you choose to share on your blog. It also makes the blog a little more interesting in that it creates some mystery.
9. When you create posts and comments, ask questions to keep the conversation going. If you don't, it could stop the conversation. Asking and answering questions makes the blog more popular and informative.
10. Add gadgets to make your blog the best it can be. If you add gadgets it makes your blog more interesting.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Routt County Sheriff Garrett Wiggins and Moffat County Sheriff Tim Jantz say they will join Weld County Sheriff John Cooke and not enforce gun-control measures signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday.
Wiggins and Jantz maintain the legislation passed by Colorado's House and Senate won't keep guns out of the hands of criminals and instead will punish law-abiding citizens.
Summit County Sheriff John Minor also calls the new laws "unenforceable," the Summit Daily reported Wednesday.
Both Wiggins and Jantz said Tuesday that gun control has been the No. 1 concern of their constituents in recent months, and that every e-mail, phone call and comment they have heard is from residents who oppose gun-control legislation.

Fortnight 1, 2012: Tinny Tim (reprise)
Tinny Tim is an unlucky orphan robot who lives on the streets of New New York. He uses a crutch (which seems to replace his arm) to help himself walk. Despite the hardships he endures, he seems to be accepting of his lot in life. Though generally seen begging, he has also been seen selling newspapers. Tinny Tim is both in name, accent and appearance based on Charles Dickens' Tiny Tim character. (more...)
Fortnight 2, 2012: The Late Philip J. Fry (reprise)
"The Late Philip J. Fry", aired in July 2010, is often considered by both staff and fans to be one of the best episodes, if not the best episode, of both the series and the sixth season. Fry, Professor Farnsworth, and Bender accidentally travel into a dystopic year ten thousand, without the possibility to travel backwards, only forwards in time. Upon realising this, they decide to keep traveling beyond, hoping to reach a time when Humanity has constructed a backwards time machine. (more...)
Fortnight 3, 2012: Dark matter
Dark matter is a substance that was widely used as starship fuel in the 30th and 31st centuries. A pound of it weighs over ten thousand pounds. Dark matter has existed in the form of a ball of no more than one inch in radius, which is excreted by the Nibblonians (1ACV04), and oil (3ACV02). The only place where dark matter has been known to be mined was the planet Vergon 6, now destroyed. It was completely filled with the heavy substance and imploded due to the lack of support for the surface after it was mined hollow (1ACV04). Dark matter was useless until 2970, when, while smashing some in a particle accelerator, Professor Farnsworth accidentally created a single non-local metaparticle and an anti-backwards crystal. Spacecraft fuelled by dark matter were fairly common until 3008, as proven by the availability of dark-matter fuel at orbital filling stations. In that year, when dark-matter prices started to rise due to a supposed shortage, the professor set out to render dark matter useless again and to ruin Mom's fortune with the anti-backwards crystal, which Mom technically stole from him along with the single non-local metaparticle. The two crystals were destroyed and all dark matter became useless once more (BG).
Fortnight 4, 2012: Bender Lets Loose!
Bender Lets Loose! is a spoken word album released by Bender. Bender advertised it at a Human hunt on Chapek 9, where he said that it cost 18.95 and came with a Bender action figurine, in the year 3000. Bender Lets Loose! later went gold (1ACV05).
Fortnight 5, 2012: Amy's obscene tattoo
Amy showed her obscene tattoo to the rest of the Planet Express crew in Historic 20th Century Apartments in 3000 after making a remark about the low-definition TVs of the 20th century (1ACV06). We cannot see it clearly due to our primitive technology, but it appears to consist of two red figures, possibly Decapodians.
Fortnight 6, 2012: Bont the Viscous
Bont the Viscous is the Emperor of Trisol. He was succeeded by Fry and succeeded Fry as the Emperor in 3000 (1ACV07) and attended the Ultimate Robot Fighting match between the Gender Bender and Destructor in 3001 (2ACV08), the violet dwarf star implosion ceremony in 3009 (ItWGY) and the 100th delivery party in 3010 (6ACV12).
Fortnight 7, 2012: Cinnamon
Cinnamon is Wernstrom's pet goldfish. He was used to demonstrate the reverse scuba suit at the Academy of Inventors' annual symposium in 3000 (1ACV08), watched Professor Farnsworth in Fry's body attack Wernstrom in 3003 (US#009) and suffered from common cold in 3004 (US#011).
Fortnight 8, 2012: Fender
Fender is a loudspeaker who works with the Beastie Boys. He went to high school with Bender and worked at Jack In The Box before 3000, attended a Beastie Boys concert and a jacking-on party with Bender in 3000 (1ACV09), was outside the Mom's Friendly Robot Company headquarters and participated in the Robot Uprising by shooting lasers on Mother's Day in 3001 (2ACV14), attended the Big Robot Party in 3003 (4ACV08), welcomed Bender to the League of Robots in 3008 (TBwaBB) and attended the 100th delivery party in 3010 (6ACV12).
Fortnight 9, 2012: Titanic
The Titanic was the largest, most luxurious space cruise ship ever built (1ACV10). She resembled the classic steam ship of the same name in design with its four funnels and sharp bow, sported a casino with a bar, a buffet (including bisque, Amy's favorite), an outdoor swimming pool on the deck, a large restaurant and many other amenities and was fueled by many stokers shoveling dark matter into the fires. Propulsion was seemingly provided by one or more dark-matter reactors situated in the bowels of the ship. Unlike her unlucky namesake, the ship sported a great number of escape pods at the stern, sufficient to allow every person on board to escape in an emergency.
Fortnight 10, 2012: Rumbledy-hump
Rumbledy-hump is a children's television series created by Leela in 3011, inspired by the adventures of the inhabitants of the planet of the same name - the Humplings. It was developed for Abner Doubledeal's Tickelodeon Kids Network, written by Leela, and directed by Doubledeal and Leela, starred members of the Planet Express crew as the Humplings, and won a Slurmie for "Best New Kids' Show". When the planet was discovered, the series was turned into a reality show, starring the real Humplings (6ACV21).
Fortnight 11, 2012: Tijuana
Tijuana is a town in Mexico, located just a stone's throw away from the American frontier. There, Bender was built (3ACV06), Hermes lived in a dusty house while working for Mom as Inspector 5 (6ACV06), Fat-bot caught a computer virus during a trip with Bender and the other Fratbots (1ACV11) and Bender and Hermes tried to find Inspector 5 (6ACV06).
Fortnight 12, 2012: Giant ball of garbage
The giant ball of garbage was a ball of garbage created in the 20th century by the people of Old New York (1ACV08). In the year 2000, they put the garbage ball on the world's largest barge. This barge circled the ocean for 50 years, but no country would accept it. Eventually, in the year 2052, Old New York used its mob connections to obtain a rocket and launch the garbage into outer space. At the time, many scientists worried that the ball would return to Earth someday, but their concerns were written off. In the year 3000, the ball did return to Earth, and it was discovered by Fry using Farnsworth's Smell-O-Scope. When it was found, Farnsworth discovered that it would directly hit New New York in less than 72 hours. Fry, Bender, and Leela attempted to destroy the ball of garbage, but failed. Ultimately, the people of New New York made a second ball of garbage of the exact size and density of the original ball. They knocked the second ball into the original, and the original was blasted into the sun.
Fortnight 13, 2012: Planet Express (reprise)
Planet Express, inc. is an intergalactic delivery company owned by Professor Farnsworth to fund his research. Its primary location is located in New New York, and its crew includes many important characters of the series. The company scrapes by, in spite of fierce competition from the leader in package delivery, Mom's Friendly Delivery Company, and they stay in business thanks to their complete disregard for safety and minimum wage laws, as well as the Professor's unscrupulous acceptance of the occasional bribe. (more...)
Fortnight 14, 2012: Old New York
In the Stupid Ages, Old New York was known as simply New York. It was one of the biggest cities in the world and produced more garbage than any other city. In 2000, the city put its garbage on a giant barge, which was launched into space 52 years later. [1ACV08] In the 31st century, Old New York is in ruins, with New New York built atop. (more...)

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims
The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims was started by RoadPeace in 1993. Since then it has been observed and promoted worldwide by several NGOs, including the European Federation of Road Traffic Victims (FEVR) and its associated organizations. On 26 October 2005, the United Nations endorsed it as a global day to be observed every third Sunday in November each year, making it a major advocacy day for road traffic injury prevention. WHO and the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration encourage governments and NGOs around the world to commemorate this day.

Head Coach Jerry Smith:
On the game:
"I think a lot of new players had an impact for us in the game tonight. Katherine certainly was the most dangerous player on the field, and Kiki was constantly the second-most dangerous player on the field, so both of those players had a tremendous impact. But I also think that Chioma Igwe won a lot of balls for us in the midfield and Hillary Schwarzbach stepped in at right-back and did a nice job. So, we had a lot of new blood contributing to our team today, and that's always good to see early in the season."
On the depth of the team, with eight new players and underclassmen in the starting lineup:
"We have good depth, and we were probably missing six or seven of our starters, with Jordan Angeli, Amanda Poach, and Tina Estrada not in the game. With so many regular players missing from our team, to come out and shut out a good Wake Forest team and play as well as we did absolutely speaks to the depth of the team."
Freshman Midfielder Katherine Reynolds:
On her first collegiate goal:
"I was just very excited, and when I was dribbling all I was thinking was `I gotta score this, I gotta score!' and after I scored I just figured, hey, good start!"
"It definitely gave me confidence for the rest of the game, and probably for the rest of the season."

While out today, wearing my baby in her mei tai carrier, I bumped into another mum I know from a baby group.
She commented on how nice the carrier was and that it must be nice to be hands free. She also told me she had been thinking about getting a carrier herself but would be forever taking her son in and out of it to feed him during trips out because he eats so often. Very proudly I said to her: "my baby's feeding right now!" Needless to say she was really surprised as she hadn't realised it was so easy and discreet. Feeding in a carrier or sling, once mastered, is an art you'll find incredibly useful while out and about because it lets you feed your baby quickly and easily as often as she needs.
Mei Tais
I personally find mei tais the easiest carriers to feed in. You just untie the straps and pull to loosen them enough to enable you to shift your baby downwards slightly, latch her on, then retie. Putting your hand through the underside of the straps to lift and support your breast may also help. A purpose made breastfeeding top or a top you can lift your breast up and out of works best. Remember to securely tie the straps once your baby is in position and shift her back up, again retying, when she's finished.
Ring Slings
Because ring slings are so adjustable they are ideal for breastfeeding. Loosen the sling to carefully bring your baby down to breast height or use a cradle position. The great thing about ring slings is that the tail can be used as a cover, to make feeding super discreet and easy. If your baby falls asleep after feeding in a ring sling, it's really easy to lift her out and lay her down without disturbing her if needed.
Soft Structured Carriers
I can't speak from personal experience but I have a close friend with an Ergo who tells me they're easy to feed in. Your baby is upright, like in a mei tai, so feeding in this position can be helpful for babies who have trouble bringing their wind up. A good soft structured carrier should be very adjustable so just adjust the shoulder straps to give you the slack you need to latch your baby on. If necessary shift the waist strap down slightly.
A front cross carry, or hug hold, is the easiest way to feed your baby. Often you don't need to untie the wrap in order to shift your baby low enough to latch on. You may prefer to lift your breast to your baby. The fabric which comes over your shoulders should help to cover you and support your baby's head while she is nursing.
Whenever you make an adjustment to your sling or carrier, always hold the baby securely, supporting her head at all times. Always ensure your baby has enough space to breathe through her nose while feeding. If you have large breasts you may need to hold them with one hand while you're nursing in the carrier.
The first time you try feeding your baby in a carrier make sure you have somewhere to sit down comfortably. It's best to practise feeding at home before you do it on the move, then once you're confident you can feed anywhere. It may seem difficult the first few times but persevere as it really does get easier.

I love the gruel (congee, when my stomach is not feeling so well). They have great different dumplings that I love in the sauce (gluten free, so I remove the covering and the it is very tasty). The food is not what most Americans are used to. I had pork chitterlings in a tasty sauce. Some of the sauces are really spicy but tasty. I prefer less spice. The prices are inexpensive. I did not try out the lunch buffet which is during school time.
If you have never had Chinese hot pot, you have to come here. My wife and I lived in China for 3 years (1 year in Shijiazhuang and 2 years in Nanjing) and this is EXACTLY like the hot pots in China. The other Chinese restaurants are all "Meiguo-Chungua-fan" or Americanized Chinese food - Chinese style cooked to American expectations. Impress is not - it is genuine as it is served in China. Suggestions - the hot water that the food is cooked in gets more spicy as it cooks, so get the split cooking - hot and plain. Your lips will thank you. Also - most of the Fu-Yuan (waiters) are from China, so ask them to help you mix the various sauces. Since hot pot is a cook it yourself buffet, you choose what you will cook. Experiment. I like the lotus roots, the various mushrooms and the sea food best.
This place was awesome
Very good. This the most authentic Chinese food I've ever try in Tucson!!!
The lunch special is excellent in cost and quality; however, the evening food is not as good. The cooks change, but overall it is excellent and a great value.
Great food. Good prices. Recommended.
How does this place rate so high? Must be be the cheapo prices. There are many better options. Healthy? My lo mein was swimming in oil. Stop voting this dive "Best of Tucson"
Food was just so-so, kinda greasy. They sit a cart of fried rice and other foods right outside the bathroom door off the kitchen, County Health Department would have a fit if they saw that for sure. Very polite and good service but have had better food.
Outstanding food!!! Mary and her staff are wonderful! This is the best Chinese restaurant in Tucson and Pima County!
The difference between eating in at Ba Dar and ordering delivery is night and day. Some consistency would be appreciated.
can't understand the other reviews, awful food ... very oily because too much food is being cooked in pans and the pan is not hot enough. My wife and I were both ill after our meals here. this is a common theme in their Yelp reviews. We should have listened to those warnings.
Best in Tucson and perhaps Arizona. Prices are good, portions are large and the food is excellent.
My favorite restaurant in Tucson! Every dish I've had there has been amazing. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options too!
The menu items are really good. I wouldn't recommend the buffet though.
If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. I've been to this restaurant four times with others who are extremely fond of it, but I find the food tastes bad and looks bad too. In addition, I would ask them how they prepare a dish before you rate this as healthy food. My last meal I had them prepare the tofu/broccoli dish with a Mongolian sauce. The tofu was overcooked and had a strange taste, the sauce had the consistency of water, the broccoli wasn't even warm so it was basically raw in terms of crunchiness. When I asked them how it was prepared, I was told that the "tofu is deep fried before it is added to the dish." Deep fried tofu in a sauteed vegetable dish is not healthy, obviously. I don't understand why this restaurant gets a great rating every year and why they claim to be healthy Chinese food. If you want something much better and healthy, try Asian Bistro at Ft. Lowell and Campbell. The Mongolian Tofu is AWESOME, as is the rice noodles and vegetables dish with a name that escapes me.
Great Sushi for the price. Other hot Chinese dishes are very good as well. China A super Buffet on River road and Stone Road also deserves 5 stars. The new U Like Buffet on Wilmont just south of Broadway is just terrible thou.
I moved here from San Francisco and have had a hard time finding really good Chinese food. BirdsEye frozen vegetables tossed with plain chunks of tofu in a salty brown sauce doesn't do it. I can't believe it took me this long to try Lotus Garden, but it's the real thing--snow peas and carrots were lightly cooked so they were bright and had a bit of snap, the sauce relied on the flavors of its ingredients and not salt for its punch, the tofu was sliced thin and lightly fried for texture and flavor, and the shrimp were huge. My new go-to Chinese place.
great vegan menu!!!
Service and food is great. They go out of their way to prepare what you like if you don't see it on the steam tables. Going beyond the mundane Chinese dishes is where they shine. The oysters, escargot, variety of soups, sushi all are superbly prepared.
We have never found the food to be cold and certainly irt is full of flavor.
We go to their other restaurant in Green Valley-Sahuarita "Panda House Restaurant".
Sean, Tim, TuiLynn, Emma and all the staff are courteous and can explain everything fully if you qwant to know. We have been there a coulpe of dozen times and never disappointed.
We are from San Franciso and enjoy Chinese Food to its fullest.
P.S. We like it!
Second time I have tried Panda Buffet and second time disappointed. Most dishes were barely warm, the chicken dishes were certainly not tender. The Mee noodles were tasty but not too warm. both shrimp dishes I tried, honey shrimp and another were badly prepared and almost powdery in texture. The Hot and sour soup was hot in temperature and spicy enough but lacked much in the way of tofu and vegetables. Service was good and friendly without being intrusive. The first time I went there I had a similar experience and thought it must have been an off day but now after going there for another time has proven to be the norm rather than the exception.

MPs meet hunger-striking Attawapiskat chief, health concerns mount
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Sunday, December 30, 2012 1:18PM EST
Last Updated Sunday, December 30, 2012 7:11PM EST
Approximately 20 MPs accepted Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence's invitation to meet with her Sunday afternoon in a teepee where she is holding firm to a hunger strike.
In an open invitation to MPs and senators, Spence welcomed politicians to her teepee on Victoria Island in Ottawa on Sunday afternoon. The chief is entering the third week of a hunger strike in hopes of persuading Prime Minister Stephen Harper to meet with her and other aboriginal leaders.
The chief of the Attawapiskat First Nation said she was "deeply humbled" by the outpouring of support she has received and she urged fellow First Nation leaders to demand action from the federal government.
"This is a call to arms and a call to action in the most peaceful and respective way that reflects our natural laws as Indigenous nations," she said in the statement. "First Nations leadership need to take charge and control of the situation on behalf of the grassroots movement. We need to re-ignite that nation-to-nation relationship based on our inherent and constitutionally protected rights as a sovereign nation. We are demanding our rightful place back, here in our homelands, that we all call Canada."
Spence's demonstration is one of many displays of support for the burgeoning Idle No More movement, which urges Canadian lawmakers to protect First Nations treaty rights. Supporters have pointed to worrisome health and safety conditions on reserves and a portion of the Conservative budget bill that omits federal oversight of waterways, a move that was made without consulting aboriginal groups.
At the heart of Idle No More debate is the assertion that Ottawa has excluded First Nations leaders from discussions on Canada's natural resources, and other issues related to treaty obligations.
Toronto Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett was among the visitors, and tweeted a photo from her visit with Spence, writing that it was "humbling and moving" to be meeting with the Attawapiskat leader.
A number of visitors raised concerns about Spence's health. The Attawapiskat chief stopped eating solid food on Dec. 11 and has restricted her diet to lemon water, fish broth and medicine teas.
"She's a very determined woman and she's heard the message from others that she's done what people think she needed to do, but she noted that the prime minister has not talked to anyone, or put out a message that he is willing to meet with leaders, and that's all she's asking for," New Democrat MP Paul Dewar told The Canadian Press on Sunday.
Fellow New Democrat Craig Scott said the hunger strike is beginning to take a clear physical toll.
"She's very peaceful in her demeanour, but that goes along with being quite weak now," Scott said. "She talks about sleeping more than she had earlier, in the first two weeks."
Earlier Sunday, a large group of drummers, dancers and others gathered in Toronto's Eaton Centre to show their solidarity with Spence.
Demonstrators also gathered by Harper's Calgary constituency office and a demonstration had been planned outside Alberta's legislature in Edmonton.
Organizers have stressed that the demonstrations, taking place across the country, are to be peaceful.
Various Idle No More rallies and demonstrations also took place in the United States.
Previous Idle No More protests have included a blockade of a CN Rail line in Sarnia, Ont. and a massive demonstration that drew roughly 1,000 people to Parliament Hill. An earlier flash mob attracted aboriginal dancers and singers to the New Sudbury Centre shopping mall.
Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq is among a growing chorus of people who have asked Chief Spence to abandon her fast and accept a meeting with Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan. Spence has so far rejected the invitation.
Previously, Chief Spence also declined a meeting with Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau, an Algonquin who has encouraged the chief to respect "process" and call off her hunger strike.
However, Spence has been visited in recent days by Liberal MP Justin Trudeau and former prime minister Joe Clark.
In a statement issued after their meeting, Clark said he was concerned that relations between Canada and its First Nations were heading in a "dangerous direction."
Even so, Clark said he found Spence's ambitions to be "humble and achievable."
"My experience has been that direct and honest dialogue is always useful and sometimes essential, particularly in dealing with issues as complex and multi-faceted as the relations between First Nations and Canada," he said in the statement.
Clark said friends in the First Nations community had encouraged him to meet with Spence and National AFN Chief Shawn Atleo managed to secure an invitation for him.

2013 NHL DRAFTby Chris Ryndak / Buffalo Sabres
NEWARK, N.J. -- The Buffalo Sabres decided to get bigger on defense with each of their two first-round picks in the 2013 NHL Draft.
With the eighth overall pick, the Sabres selected Rasmus Ristolainen, a 6-foot-4 blueliner from TPS of SM-liiga in Finland. General manager Darcy Regier and Kevin Devine, the director of amateur scouting, followed that selection up with Nikita Zadorov, a 6-foot-5 defenseman, who played with the London Knight of the OHL with the team's pick at No. 16.
"The plan wasn't going in to take two defensemen, but we had those guys neck and neck, Zadorov and Ristolainen," Devine said. "Some [scouts] actually liked Zadorov better than Ristolainen. To get those two big guys was pretty nice."
Buffalo then made a trade in the second round, sending Andrej Sekera to the Carolina Hurricanes for defenseman Jamie McBain and the 35th overall pick. They took left wing JT Compher.
"We had had some conversations with Carolina earlier. They had asked about [Sekera] and we needed to add a right-handed defenseman," Regier said.
In the end, the Sabres ended up selecting seven forwards, three defensemen and a goaltender with their 11 picks.
Two picks, Justin Bailey and Sean Malone are Western New York natives. Defenseman Connor Hurley and goaltender Calvin Petersen are both committed to Notre Dame.
"It worked out pretty good. When we got the two big D to start off, we started concentrating on the forwards right after that," Devine said
No. 8 - Rasmus Ristolainen
D (TPS, Finland)
D.O.B.: 10/27/94. Born: Turku, Finland.
Height: 6-foot-4. Weight: 207 lbs. Shoots: Right.
Devine on Ristolainen:
"He's played the last two years in the Finnish Elite League. So since he was 16 years old, he's been playing against men. Those guys are all 27 to 35 in that league … He's got a good chance to play in the League next year."
Ristolainen on his game:
"I'm a two-way defenseman, best in the offensive side. I have a good shot. I play physically. I can help the team on the power play and on the [penalty kill] also. .. I think that's my goal, to play next season in the NHL."
NHL.com Profile:
• He competed for Team Finland at the 2012 and 2013 World Junior Championships, totaling nine points (2-7--9) in 13 tournament games. He also represented his country at the 2012 Under-18 World Championship, recording three points (2-1--3).
• Ristolainen has garnered attention on YouTube for his nifty shootout goal (more than 18,000 views) and a hit that sent Jokerit forward Tomi Maki into the bench (more than 17,000 views).
• He began playing hockey as a five-year-old, but did not make the move from forward to defense until he was 12.
• Ristolainen patterns his heavy shot and physical play after Predators captain Shea Weber, his childhood hockey idol.
From McKeen's Draft Guide:
"Top weapon is a heavy slapshot that finds its way to the net … No stranger to jumping to the attack – knows how to integrate himself into the rush and find productive trailing lanes supporting the play … Can be a smart, assertive physical presence – using his size advantage to bully the puck away."
From The Hockey News:
"Ristolainen does have some offensive pop to his game and finished the season as the top-scoring blueliner on TPS, but evaluators would prefer for him to stay in his wheelhouse."
No. 16 (from Minnesota) – Nikita Zadorov
D (London, OHL)
D.O.B: 4/15/95. Born: Moscow, Russia.
Height: 6-foot-5. Weight: 221 lbs. Shoots: Left.
Zadorov on his style of play:
"I think I'm a two-way defenseman. I'm a big guy who can a physical game. … I think Buffalo got a good defenseman … I just love to hit people and score goals."
NHL.com Profile:
• In his first Ontario Hockey League season, Zadorov led all rookies with a plus-33 rating and ranked second among first-year defensemen in points (6-19--25), helping London finish first in the 2012-13 standings (50 wins, 105 points). It was the seventh time in the last 10 seasons the Knights have posted more than 100 points.
• In the 2013 playoffs, he led all defensemen in penalty minutes (36) and posted six points (2-4--6) as London won the OHL championship. Zadorov added two goals in the 2013 Memorial Cup, including the game-winner in London's opener against the host Saskatoon Blades.
• Zadorov won gold with Team Russia at the 2012 Under-17 World Hockey Challenge (0-3--3) and also competed at the 2012 Under-18 World Championship, recorded two goals and finished with a plus-4 rating.
• He wears No. 16 in honor of former Russian star Vladimir Petrov.
From McKeen's Draft Guide:
"A remarkably light and agile skater given his mammoth 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame … Transitions rapidly to offense, his mobility allowing him to jump into the rush and recover with relative ease … Erases opponents with mean punishing take-outs."
From The Hockey News:
"Zarodov skates well for his size and though his transition game and offense improved with London as the year went on, what tantalizes most scouts is his frame."
No. 35 (from Carolina) – JT Compher
DOB: 4/8/95. Born: Northbrook, Ill., USA.
Height: 6-foot-0. Weight: 165 lbs. Shoots: Left.
NHL.com Profile:
• Compher will attend the University of Michigan this fall, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Richard Meyer, who played collegiate basketball for the Wolverines.
• Compher was Team USA's second-leading scorer (3-4--7 in seven games) at the 2013 Under-18 Championship, helping the team win silver. He also was the second-leading scorer (4-7--11 in six games) at the 2012 Under-17 World Hockey Challenge, again leading Team USA to a second-place finish.
• Compher won gold at the 2012 Under-18 World Championship as the youngest player on Team USA and contributed five points (2-3--5) in six games, including a goal in the final.
• In 2011, just before Compher moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., to play with the National Team Development Program, his father, Bob, was diagnosed with prostate cancer. After his father's successful surgery and inspired by the support his family received, Compher decided to help raise funds at a NTDP game to benefit prostate cancer awareness: "I wanted to do something. There was so much support from all my friends and everyone in the town."
• One little-known fact about Compher is that he modeled as a toddler.
From McKeen's Draft Guide:
"Smart, tenacious forward plays an authoritative all-around game … His vision of the ice is exceptional – sees plays before they happen which powers stout positioning and strong puck support – in the right place at the right time."
From The Hockey News:
"Quick and competitive, Compher has proven effective when the NTDP played against college squads, which is good since he's committed to Michigan next year. He's made the most of the opportunities that come with the NTDP's unique schedule."
No. 38 – Connor Hurley
C (Edina High, HIGH-MN)
DOB: 9/15/95. Born: Eagan, Minn., USA.
Height: 6-foot-1. Weight: 172 lbs. Shoots: Left.
Devine on Hurley:
"The fact he came out [of high school] and played with the Development Program and played with Muskegon [of the USHL] two or three times during the year showed me he's serious about his hockey career … He has a chance to become a second-line center in the NHL."
From McKeen's Draft Guide:
"Speedy and talented playmaker … More a 'pass-first' type – who prefers to tap his stickhandling and passing prowess … Outstanding skater – with explosive first-step quickness and electrifying top speed."
From The Hockey News:
"He's seen as a smart, two-way player who can play in most situations. He's also raw and will likely be a much different player in a couple years than the one drafted in June."
No. 52 (from St. Louis) – Justin Bailey
RW (Kitchener, OHL)
DOB: 7/1/95. Born: Buffalo, N.Y., USA.
Height: 6-foot-3. Weight: 186 lbs. Shoots: Right.
NHL.com Profile:
• Among OHL rookies in 2012-13, Bailey finished second with a plus-22 rating and tied for eighth with 17 goals (17-19--36) in 57 games.
• Bailey competed for the U.S. at the 2012 Under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. He also was selected for the 2012 All-American Prospects Game, but was unable to participate due to injury.
• He spent the 2011-12 season with the Long Island Royals Midget Under-16 National Team, recording 21 goals and 13 assists in 22 regular-season games. Coached by Hockey Hall of Famer Pat LaFontaine, the Royals won the Under-16 Tier I National Championship in April 2012. Bailey posted three points (2-1--3) in the team's 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars Elite in the championship game.
• In 2010-11, Bailey competed for the Buffalo Regals. He had a goal and an assist in the USA Hockey New York District Tournament 16-Under Tier I championship against the Long Island Royals.
• He is the son of former Buffalo Bills linebacker Carlton Bailey.
• On expert guidance from his neighbors: "Growing up in Buffalo, we lived in the same condo as Matthew Barnaby, Michael Peca and Rob Ray. Barnaby helped me along the way with a lot of decision-making . . . It's good to have someone who has your back. He's experienced everything that I'm going to experience this year."
From McKeen's Draft Guide:
"Tall, athletic forward … Best weapons are a stinging wristshot and snapshot that literally explode off the blade of his stick … Just scratching the surface of his mostly untapped raw potential."
From The Hockey News:
"His potential and size tantalize those who evaluate talent for the NHL."
No. 69 – Nicholas Baptiste

DOB: 11/11/94. Born: Södertälje, Sweden.
Height: 6-foot-0. Weight: 183 lbs. Shoots: Left.

Height: 6-foot-1. Weight: 227 lbs. Shoots: Right.

No. 159 – Sean Malone
DOB: 4/30/95. Born: Buffalo, N.Y., USA
Height: 5-foot-11. Weight: 183 lbs. Shoots: Left.

Music You Discovered via DiS in 2012
Then annual thank you thread to give a shout out to the DiSsers and writers who turned you on to (or made you revisit) some tracks, acts or albums this year. Feel free to include links.
For starters, I'd like to thank Jordan Dowling for letting me know about Yppah.
There was also loads if stuff I got into from that ambientish thread http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4347711
Not Stealing Sheep
Seriously, not even an album review for one of 2012's best releases?
I don't think we were sent it
I didn't get any emails from PRs about them.
But this thread isn't for bitching and moaning about that. You must have heard one thing because of this site?
Sorry. (Stands in corner with forlorn expression...)
I hate it when the first response to a thread is negative, but it's just doing my head in that virtually nobody is talking about this album, when it's clearly amazing. Hell, I'll send you a copy if that's all that's standing in the way of getting it reviewed... Would've made an excellent addition to your lost albums of 2012 feature...
An album DiS turned me on to this year? Polica, maybe?
Oh, and um, apparently you did review it...
Might want to get that Search feature up there looked at. (Coughs and leaves room)
PS. It's at least an 8/10.

How rude of me
Thanks driftingskeleton, thanks Sean, thanks DiS.
Cloud Nothings and Keaton Henson. Mentioned by various people that I can't remember.
Chromatics, Blondes, Van Etten & DIIV
all in my top records of the year
Vessels (made my top 5)
Laurel Halo (had her own thread at some point)
Young Smoke (one of jimi's threads I think)
Well since DIS is my place to go for new music
the list would be huge but the significant ones would be:
Twin Shadow
Sharon Van Etten
The Irrepressibles
Bill Callaghan
Which I'm very happy about. Cheers.
Title Fight
Laurel Halo
From either the site or the forums
DiS gave me John Talabot, Bats and lately, Chvrches (who I eagerly await an album from in 2013). DiS also convinced me to give Liars another go; my first full encounter with them had been Sisterworld, which I still find a jarring experience. WIXIW ticked many of the boxes Liars had previously crossed off, somehow.
rather late to the game
Blood Red Shoes.
Love it. Thanks.
Loads of good stuff
Killer Mike
Can't pinpoint who or where but people talking about A Winged Victory for the Sullen (from last year I know)
lead me to love that album and get into Stars of the Lid, who I saw the other week and absolutely loved. Similarly, I saw Japandroids this year thanks to mentions on here. I get nearly everything from here these days. I don't have enough time or inclination to follow every link, but the good stuff always seems to filter through.
AWFTS still manages to amaze me
I think, in terms of quality, its up there with any SOTL work.
Thank you to those who recommended Sparks by Black Elk to me
Not quite an AOTY but one of my favourite ambient albums this year.
Richard Skelton's Verse of Birds is another, absolutely mesmering, pretty long though so haven't heard it enough yet.
Nosaj Thing - recommended to me due to similarities with FlyLo. Really great, and can't wait for his new album next year. Teebs too.
And I noticed Goat cropping up in a few users' top 5 albums...total sugarush of an album, but I hope they add a litle depth with future releases.
oddly enough, it has to be mclusky and Future of the left.
I absolutely love them now.
I would add to this BLONDES!
Cloud Nothing's album
It's ace too.
Wouldn't have given it a chance otherwise.
- Wasted_Opportunity this'd this
and cloud nothings, thanks.ma0sm this'd this
Thanks, she's great.catshoe this'd this
Daniel Bachman (although that could've been late 2011)
Purity Ring
just loving "The Sleep of Reason". It's highly unlikely I'd have even heard of it if not for DiS, so thanks for that!
Also, Stumbleine.
this was the year I first properly listened to D'angelo
most of it is from the good folk of the rolling hip hip threads and the rolling dance mongrel ones
and maybe the ferware one
(I wish oneforghost still posted)
Think the album was streamed on here for a bit (or at least there was a link to it). Never really bothered with them before, but this turned out to probably be my album of the year, and they've got a great back catalogue that I've enjoyed discovering too.xilia this'd this
I lose track of where I've heard of stuff
But doubtless loads comes fom DIS.
Thanks to everyone who's recommended stuff. I love it when people speak passionately and knowledgeably about stuff they love.
Most recently, thanks for finally helping me to realise how amazing Hot Chip are and thanks for the great thread on new Modern Classical stuff, much of which I've been enjoying.
Which is odd, as it now feels like I've been listening to them forever

ST. AUGUSTINE, F.L. − The 2011 Daktronics NCAA Division II All-Southeast Region Women's Soccer Teams were released Tuesday afternoon. Eight members of this year's teams were members of the 2010 teams, including this year's Region Player of the Year Catherine Hauck of Lenoir-Rhyne University. Pfeiffer University's Alyssa Wombwell (Grand Blanc, MI) was named to the region's second team.
Tramicka James of Tusculum College, Stephanie Lowery of Columbus State University, and Morgan Mitchell and Kelli Bahr of Armstrong Atlantic State University join Hauck on the first team again. Britney Bennett of the University of North Carolina Pembroke rose from second-team honors a year ago to first team this year.
The Daktronics NCAA Division II All-Southeast Region Teams are voted on by the sports information directors of the Southeast Region. The region is comprised of the Conference Carolinas, the Peach Belt Conference, and the South Atlantic Conference.
Members of the first team are now eligible for Daktronics NCAA Division II All-America honors.
The team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. The team is voted on by the NCAA Division II members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (D2SIDA), with the online nomination and voting process powered by ATHLETICSITE.COM.
Hauck, a 5-foot-6 senior defender from Lake Mary, Fla., was named the South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year for the second straight season. She earned first-team All-SAC honors for the fourth time. Hauck has led Lenoir-Rhyne to a 17-2-1 record (9-0-0 in the SAC), the conference regular season title and a No. 5 national ranking. She is tied for second on the team in goals (11) and is second in points (26) this year. Last season, she earned All-American honors by Daktronics (2nd team) and the NSCAA (1st team). Lenoir-Rhyne has a NCAA Division II National Tournament third round match on Friday (Nov. 18) at Armstrong Atlantic State University at 11 a.m. in Savannah, Ga.

Newt Gingrich: elites foreclosed on Floridians, used $ to help Romney in 'desperate last stand'
Speaking in friendly territory -- before a tea party crowd of about 500 in Central Florida's bucolic Mount Dora -- the former House Speaker savaged Mitt Romney, the campaign ads that have been pillorying Gingrich across the state -- and his own Republican party.
Gingrich wasted little time in criticizing Romney as he took to the stage with his wife, Calista, decrying the "attack ads and all sorts of junk" and charging that Romney is hypocritical for attacking him for Freddie Mac when he has stock in it.
"He thinks we're going to back down, I don't think so," he said.
"This is the desperate last stand of the old order, throwing the kitchen sink, hoping something sticks because if only they can drown us in enough mud -- raised with money from companies and people who foreclosed on Floridians," he said. He charged Romney and his super PAC ads were "paid for with the money taken from the people of Florida, by companies like Goldman Sachs."
The Romney campaign issued an all-caps email with the headline and subtitle that read: "UNHINGED: DR. NEWT AND MR. HYDE...GINGRICH LEADS "OCCUPY MOUNT DORA"
But Gingrich, who had been surging in the Florida polls, said the race is now "very close" and that he believes the "weight of the negative ads" and what he called Romney's "dishonesty," had "hurt us some."
He called on the tea partiers to start working harder. "This group alone is big enough to start to turn this around," he said, declaring he wouldn't allow the "monied interests" to defeat him.
Gingrich is clearly banking on support from Florida's tea party -- which helped elect Marco Rubio and Rick Scott in 2010 and he thanked the crowd, some of whom wore tea party t-shirts.
"I think you represent citizens who are sick and tired of being told by Washington what to do and sick and tired of watching your country decay because the power structure in Washington doesn't want to make any changes," he said. "They would rather manage the decay as long as they stay in charge. We're here to tell them that their time is over."
He accused Romney of hypocrisy, charging that Romney owns "lots of stock in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," "lots of stock in a Goldman Sachs unit "that was explicitly foreclosing on Floridians" and is "surrounded by lobbyists" who defended Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, yet has built "his entire negative campaign in Florida around a series of ads that are just plain false.
"They're counting on us being too stupid or too timid," he said.
He also railed against the GOP establishment, calling it "just as much an establishment as the Democratic establishment.
"And they are just as determined to stop us," he said. "Make no bones about it, this is a campaign for the very nature of the Republican party and the very opportunity for a citizen conservatism to defeat the power of money and to prove that people matter more than money than Wall Street and people matter more than all the big companies that are pouring cash into Romney ads that are false."
He says he ran an entirely positive campaign and was "drowned in a sea of mud" in Iowa, "mud paid for with special interest money...and a candidate who is willing to say anything and do anything to be president that the truth doesn't matter."
He said the GOP can't beat Obama with a candidate "who has Swiss bank accounts, Cayman Island accounts.."
He charged Romney with looking to masquerade as a conservative, noting that when he was "workingwith Ronald Reagan, Romney "was a money making independent" who voted for Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas.
"The message we should give Mitt Romney is 'We aren't that stupid and you aren't that clever," he said.
He defended his work for Freddie Mac, saying the "only thing I ever did that was publicly recorded...was to tell the House Republicans to vote no, don't give them any money."
He saved a little of his pique for President Obama and Democrats saying they "either doesn't know what he's saying or they just don't care what damage they're doing to the economy."

CHICAGO, July 8 (UPI) -- The Highway Loss Data Institute has found a wave of high-tech systems that can warn drivers of imminent crashes and headlamps that pivot to illuminate around corners reduce accidents.
The preliminary finding was based on insurance claims analyzed by HLDI, a non-profit affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the organization famous for conducting new vehicle crash tests.
The study found owners of Mercedes-Benz and Acura vehicles that had systems that automatically apply the brakes when a forward collision appears likely made 14 percent fewer insurance claims per year.
Property damage claims by owners of Volvo and Mazda vehicles equipped with "adaptive headlights" that twist in the direction of a turn were 9 percent and 10 percent lower, respectively, HLDI said.
"So far, forward collision technology is reducing claims, particularly for damage to other vehicles, and adaptive headlights are having an even bigger impact than we had anticipated," HLDI vice president Matt Moore said in a release.
Automakers equipping their vehicles with both systems will be gratified by the report, but the institute study found lane departure warning systems, which tell a driver when he's drifting, did not appear to reduce accident claims.
The jury is still out on the impact lane departure warning, backup camera, blind-spot detection, driver fatigue warning, night vision assist, speed-curve warning and parking-assist systems will have on accident avoidance.
Some automakers like Mercedes use a system that can automatically turn the steering wheel to guide a wandering vehicle back into its lane.
"We do believe there are safety benefits to the lane departure warning system," Mercedes spokeswoman Donna Boland told The Detroit News.
In June, the government watchdog National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concluded in a report that forward collision warning systems had the potential to reduce rear-end crashes on U.S. highways by 15 percent.
"We are absolutely certain that they [forward collision systems] are preventing collisions," IIHS chief researcher David Zuby said. "The lane departure systems are newer and less common than the warning systems, so we'll have to wait for more data before we can look for a pattern there."
If forward collision warning systems are all they're cracked up to be, a $1,200 collision avoidance system installed on a vehicle would more than pay for itself if just one rear-end collision was avoided.
The active safety systems first appeared on expensive Mercedes, Volvo and Acura vehicles but are now available on more mainstream vehicles from a growing number of manufacturers.
Ford plans to add Traffic Jam Assist, and an advanced version of its parking assist to more models. Traffic Jam Assist uses radar and camera technology to help vehicles automatically flow with traffic and stay in their lanes.
Fiat bullish on Chrysler
In the same week Chrysler reported a healthy 20 percent sales jump in June, majority owner Fiat SPA announced it was buying more Chrysler shares.
The Italian conglomerate that bought Chrysler out of bankruptcy in June 2009 -- with help from a fully repaid $12.5 billion federal bailout -- said it was raising its stake in the Detroit carmaker from 58.5 percent to 61.8 percent "in the coming weeks."
The 2013 Dodge Dart compact, the first joint Chrysler-Fiat vehicle introduced since the Fiat takeover, reached dealer showrooms last month to generally positive reviews.
Fiat has an option to acquire up to 20 percent of Chrysler it doesn't own from The UAW Trust, a United Auto Workers trust fund that pays for retiree's healthcare, by buying 3.3 percent stakes twice a year through 2016, The Detroit News said, but there was no word from CEO Sergio Marchionne if Fiat would buy more.
Chrysler sales were up 20 percent compared to June 2011, GM sales were 15.5 percent higher and Ford sales increased 7 percent, with sales of the new Ford Explorer jumping 35 percent. Nissan sales were 28.2 percent higher in the United States, with sales of its upscale Infinity brand up 66 percent, and Hyundai posted a solid 8 percent sales hike over June 2011.
French mandate auto breath test
A week ago motorists and motorcyclists in France were required to travel with two single-use breathalyzer-type devices in a bid to cut the number of alcohol-related traffic deaths.
Mopeds, which are very popular in Europe, are excluded.
French officials plan to begin enforcing the new law on Nov. 1 after a four-month grace period and foreign drivers are included. Motorists entering France using ferry boats or the Channel Tunnel will be subject to random police checks.
A blood alcohol level of 50 mg in 100 ml of blood is considered driving while impaired in France.
The fine for driving without the breathalyzers is 11 euros, about $13.86. The single use devices cost 1 to 3 euros each, $1.26 to $3.78.
Tesla takes cue from Apple stores
If you've got the money for a Tesla all-electric vehicle, you may be able to order one in a retail shopping district much like going to an Apple store for an iMac or iPad.
The Chicago Tribune reports the newest Tesla Motors store -- its 12th in North America -- opened June 29 in Santa Monica, Calif. The upscale showroom is between an Adidis store and Club Monaco, which sells trendy apparel.
The Tesla Roadster sold for more than $100,000 but a new Model S hatchback costs half that and Tesla has taken more than 20,000 pre-orders for the Model X, a plug-in electric SUV.
All Teslas are built in California.
"We are deliberately trying to engage with people when they are not thinking about buying a car," Tesla sales head George Blankenship told the Tribune.
Coda, which is introducing a $38,145 plug-in electric sedan this summer, will offer test drives at events in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Initially, the Coda -- which is made in Harbin, China, and assembled in California -- will only be sold in California, New Jersey and New York.
GM saw sales of its plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt doubled in June over June 2011. GM sold 1,760 Volts last month and 8,817 during the first six months of 2012. That compares to 7,600 Volts sold for all of 2011.

Patrick Vieira retired yesterday. This is sad. Vieira was one of the best midfielders ever, an end-to-end hard man who won a 1998 World Cup and a 2000 European Championship trophy with France and anchored Arsenal during three Premier League championship campaigns, including the 2003-04 "Invincible" season when the Gunners went undefeated (one of the more remarkable team accomplishment in sports). Arsenal never really replaced Vieira. He was graceful and crafty. He took no guff. He was all you could ask for at the core of your team. He was also nicknamed La Grande Saucisse ("The Big Sausage") and "The Long One" for, ahem, his "dressing-room physique." Nick Hornby is pouring one out right now.
Some of Vieira's best goals:

Posted by Christian Scharen on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 12:25 AM
One of my top priorities as I get started as Director of Contextual Learning is listening to and learning from the congregations and pastors we partner with in this enterprise. Just last week, I had the opportunity to visit three very different congregations.
On Monday I was hosted by Pr. Kristine Carlson at Christ Church Lutheran in Minneapolis where Will Starkweather serves as Vicar (a common term for intern pastors in former Missouri Synod churches). A gracious host, Pr. Carlson told me about a vital ministry of hospitality, worship, and the arts. She walked around their historic Saarinen-designed building, and spoke with enthusiasm about the many ways they open their church: not only to architecture students but also diverse musical groups, neighborhood folk, and the homeless.
On Tuesday I was hosted by Pr. Jen Nagel at Salem English Lutheran in Minneapolis where Jason Clifton and Asher O'Callaghan serve in their Teaching Congregations placement. Salem has recently gone through an amazing transfiguration, joining with two other churches to share their renovated building. The building itself is beautifully redesigned with three distinct worship spaces and shared office space for the three pastors. In addition, Salem sold a chunk of its land on Lyndale Avenue for The Greenleaf, an affordable housing complex with mixed-use retail on the street level. We enjoyed lunch together at the World Street Kitchen, one of the tenants in the building.
On Thursday I was hosted by Pr. Wally Obinger at Luther Memorial in South St. Paul where Marilyn Crossfield serves as intern pastor. Luther Memorial was the site for the Twin Cities East Intern Cluster. My colleague, Steve McKinley, organized the day and helped interns and supervisors reflect on joys and sorrows, particularly as they prepare to say goodbye. In the other side of the church, what seemed like half of South St. Paul was lined up to explore the annual rummage sale put on by the congregation. A church buzzing with the voices of community members is a wonderful thing!
In each congregation, with each pastor, something clear shown through. It was Pr. Carlson who actually said it directly, "I just love ministry." The vibrancy of ministry represented in these diverse congregations and their leaders finds common cause in a shared love of Christ's mission and ministry through us for the sake of the world. Sharing this life in the distinctive ways each congregation lives out God's mission, our Luther students are formed for lives of faithful ministry. On behalf of our staff in Contextual Learning, and all your partners at Luther Seminary, thank you for what you do!
I plan to continue visiting congregations, but don't wait for me to call—please invite me to come visit you. I look forward to it!
+Easter Peace,
Chris Scharen

I know you're wondering what happened to my Day 5 prep journal, so am I! That day was so crazy and hectic, I didn't have a moment to write up anything. It was more of the same in terms of exercise, clients and food from the days prior – from what I can remember anyway!
So, shooting day finally arrived and ready or not, we arrived at the location before sunrise to get started. However, there was ONE huge obstacle that we had to get around at first, we were locked out of the location! Elena joked that we were probably just trespassing and didn't really have permission to be there! Ha! We stayed cool as cucumbers until we got access inside the house and were ready to go!
Now, I'm going to keep you in suspense a little while longer to find out what this video shoot is all about, but what I CAN tell you is that involves bringing you my unique style of fitness with many other cool and fun surprises!
Here is where you wanna be in 2014! In the meantime, please check out the photo diary from the big day below! I am grateful and loving the opportunity to share with you and this is only the beginning!
Taking in the gorgeous view from our stunning location in the West Hollywood Hills!
After the week I had, thank goodness Elena was there to do her magic!
My pre-shoot pose- what?
In my zone and in my happy place performing some yoga moves.
Plotting and planning with Elena between takes as well as being silly with David Velo Stewart who was in charge for the day!
No, I'm not sleeping! More shooting on the balcony as the sun begins to set.
"Say cheese"–pizza that is –what was on my mind as the shoot was drawing to a close!
The beautiful sunset peeking behind the clouds as we finish up with final takes.
IT'S A WRAP! PIZZA TIME! Yes, I was caught devouring a slice in mid-bite.
No, I don't care! I earned every morsel! #Heaven
Thank you for sharing the first part of this journey with me! So much more to come, so be sure to stay tuned!
