The Saline Reporter VOLUME 14, NUMBER 23 - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY %% It^x. (<First With All the Local News' 10c PER COPY — $3 PER YEAR PROSECUTOR LAUNCHES PROBE OF P TIONS roves epet The Michigan Public Service Commission has approved a proposal to close the New York Central railroad depot here, and centralize the freight service in Jackson. j Depots at Dexter and Brooklyn would also be closed under, the plan, and Bridgewater freight, previously shipped through Saline, would also come under the Jackson office. The MPSC decision followed a hearing in Lansing last May, attended by representatives of a number of local businessmen protesting the measure. They were owners of firms in both Saline^ and Bridgewater, who feared' that service would not be adequate if the local freight Neighbors Protest Site For Resthome Nearly 30 North Ann Arbor street neighbors gathered in Council chambers at a Board of Appeal meeting Monday, to protest the projected construction of a convalescent home in their area. .;' The prospective building is planned to house about 50 patients. Plans for it werejirawn by Graham Bailey, Dr. C. B. Jackson, and Marie Campbell, operators of the present Saline Convalescent Home on South Ann Arbor street. The three seek to erect a block and brick building on a lot at the rear of 315 N. Ann Arbor St. Access would be provided by a 15-foot-wide. circle driveway, off Ann Arbor street, one of the points to which neighboring property owners took exception. Neighbors objected to the plan on the grounds that the locale was not proper, that ac- .cess was insufficient, and that fire and police protection would be difficult to provide. Approximately forty children in the neighborhood would lose a playground, they said. They also feared a precedent would be set: said one, "If this goes through, will they allow other buildings behind other homes there?" Said one spokesman, Clarence Johnson, "I object wholeheart-. edly to a resthome in place of gardens and children's playgrounds." Said another, Charles Uphaus, "I might be able to get a fire truck in there, but I would-; n't want to try to fight a fire there." Uphaus is a member of Saline Volunteer Fire department. Speaking as a representative of the prospective builders, Jim Gross said: "They don't want to build where they're not wanted." The three had considered an alternate site, in Garden City, before coming to Saline, he said. Councilmen, acting as Board of Appeals, tabled the matter for further study,, until 7:30 p.m. Monday. In Council meeting, the city approved a request from Recreation Director Gerald Coe for $2,165.95 -for the next year's budget for the recreation program, and temporarily put aside a suggestion that one-half mill be earmarked for the purpose. Councilmen also accepted a bid of $202 from "Ann Arbor Implement Co. for a chain saw, instructed Planning Commissioner Doug Milhan to take the first steps toward a new master map of the city; and approved the appointment of Robert Harrison as Saline chairman of Michigan Week, to open May 22. agent were removed. Under the NYC's proposed plan, the Jackson freight agent would visit local shippers "daily, or as often as may. be necessary" to provide service, and free pick-up and delivery would be made for less-than-carload shipments in the area. The latter are not now available in Saline. Observed the MPSC in its authorized order: "The record indicates that these communities are connected by modern, paved highways and it is not anticipated that the Jackson freight agent or his representative will have difficulty in traveling between these communities during any season of the year. The record further indicates that telephone service ... is adequate." The company has said it will provide a toll-free "Enterprise" number for patrons. \The new plan will, "permit more flexibility in railroad service", the opinion said. Although the authorization became effective immediately, Freight Agent E. A. Sawall, here, said he had not yet received notice from the NYC as to a closing date. The railroad company was also ordered to maintain the facilities here for a period of one year. If service is not as specified, a petition can then be filed to restore the local agent, according to Stanton Roesch, attorney for the local firms interested. From the Saline station, 76 carloads were shipped and 173 carloads received, in 1959. In the same year, 29 less-than-carload shipments were forwarded and 260 received. The figure, given in the MPSC order, apparently does not include the Bridgewater traffic, which last year amounted to about 101 carloads, in and out. Most of the Saline shipping is accounted for by the Saline Mercantile Co., which strongly opposed the depot closing. "I'm sick about it," said manager Lyle Phillips this week, "and we would appeal if there were the slightest grounds to do so."

Don Jaeger's young basket- eers wrapped up their second unshared Washtenaw Conference basketball championship Friday evening by edging a rough-playing Manchester team 36-30. The victory, tenth straight in conference play and ninth in a row since their only loss this year, assured Saline of an undisputed crown with two more loop games left to play. The nearest contender has three defeats. The triumph also made Don Jaeger the first Saline coach in recent years to come up with two straight unshared championship teams. The victory for Saline came despite a lot of rough play by the Dutchmen under the boards and some poorly interpreted blocked shots by Saline. Manchester, like U-High a week ago, got the first two points of the contest on a pair of free throws. Saline came rolling right back, and,#fter Pen- Schmerberg and Sanford Nominated in Primaries One incumbent supervisor was defeated and another renominated over opposition in local township primary elections Monday. Two others were renominated in party caucus. . Rudolph Schmerberg, of Pittsfield township, handily defeated incumbent Samuel Morgan in a three-way race in Which Robert A. Lillie came out third. Incumbent township treasurer Edward Lavender also was turned down by voters, who nominated Mrs. Hazel Brown. Voters in Pittsfield selected incumbent trustee Forrest Haywood and Webb Harwood (who has served as trustee previously) in a four-way race for the two posts. Bruce Rider, incumbent clerk, ran unopposed, as did Melvin Hartman for Board of Review. Three of four incumbent constables were on the ballot, without opposition. In York township, Incumbent Supervisor Thurlow Sanford easily survived a challenge from William Hayes to turn out a victory of 691 to 216. In the first primary election ever held in York township, Russell Wan- ty defeated Phyllis Stanton 646 to 227; and Treasurer Neva Oelke retained her nomination against the opposition of Vivi an Richards, 522 to 377. In party caucuses, Saline township Supervisor Clarke Gordon was renominated on the Democratic ticket, but the party left all other slots on their ballot blank. The Republican party filled other spots on the ballot but nominated no supervisor. Nominated were GOP candidates Warren Finkbeiner for clerk; Albert Bredernitz, treasurer; Edward Filsinger, trustee; Elmer Alber, JP; David Gordon, Board of Review; and Arthur Wiedmayer, Elmer Glatz, Ermine Finkbeiner, and Walter Graf for constable. In the first Democratic caucus held in the township in about 10 years, Mrs. Clarence Kohler was named chairman of the Democratic committee, with Arthur Lutz and Clarence Kohler. / Lodi township Republicans renominated Supervisor Erwin Frederick; clerk Rudolph Gross and treasurer Otto Bredernitz. Other candidates are Fred Stoll- steimer, for Highway Commissioner; George Schnierle, trustee; Walter Lindemann, JP; and Theron Schnierle, Board of Review. Democrats did not hold a caucus or primary election in' Lodi, Pittsfield, or York townships. newski's charity shots, were; never behind for the remainder of the contest. Strait meshed Saline's first three points on a basket and free throw and Volz added another foul shot before Jerry Creech scored Manchester's first basket. The Hornets then methodically began building up a seven- point lead before the Dutchmen tallied again. Ed Strait with three, and Ken Volz and John Thoss with two each, accounted for all of the Saline scoring dash. With 56 seconds left in the first period, Creech swished a field goal to wrap up the quarter's scoring at 11-6. Manchester pulled within three points of the Hornets in the next frame when Gary Pen- newsM meshed a basket with less than three minutes gone. Strait and Bixby each rang up two points as Saline pulled away to seven points in front. After half-time, Manchester pushed to a four-point deficit before Saline started hitting. Then, in a period of 30 seconds, John Thoss made the Hornets' only two baskets of the third quarter for the biggest advantage of either team, eight points. In the final eight minuets, both teams went on what was a comparative scoring rampage, as each hit for thirteen points. With only 2:54 left in the game, Manchester pulled up to three points behind when the Saline defense, to avoid fouling, let Jerry Creech get in for a lay-up. But then, much to the consternation of the Dutchmen, the referees finally began calling the most flagrant fouls. From 3:04 remaining in the last period to the final buzzer, eight fouls were called on the Manchester team. Jerry Creech was thrown out of the game by the five-foul rule with 1:36 left, and two other Manchester players had four fouls. From then on Saline was in no danger. High scorer for Saline was John Thoss with eleven. *He was followed by Strait with nine and McDonald with 6. Others in the "scoring column for SaUne were Mike Bixby with five, Ken Volz with three, and Dave Hoeft with two.

N.jtice for Washtenaw County. | A UM1 aIld compiete" investigation of the circulation of Publication ofJ"he no^ce will (Saline's parking and hiring petitions was ordered Tuesday by Qounty prosecutor William Agar. The order followed a revelation by Councilman John Buck, at Council meeting Monday night, that he had affidavits from signers.of the petitions, alleging that they had not been properly circulated. The signers said they had received the petitions for signature from someone other than John Predmore, who signed them as circulator. Buck, who said he had been "satisfied from the start that there were irregularities in those petitions", stated that he had twice asked City Attorney Allan, (-(uitinue through the March is<aue of The Reporter. Condition of Auto Victim Listed 'Good' Miss Roseanna Beat, 33, who suffered a compound fracture of the right leg last Wednesday when she was struck by a car, was reported in "good condition" today at St. Joseph Mercy hospital in Ann Arbor. Miss Beat was first taken to Saline Community hospital and then transferred, after the accident which occurred about 8 p.m. on west Michigan avenue near Monroe street. She is employed as a nurse's aide at the Saline hospital. Miss Beat was struck by a car driven by Harvey Kluwe, of 242 S. Ann Arbor St., as she walked west on the shoulder of the road toward her home at 224 W. Michigan. The driver said he had not been able to see the woman, who was wearing dark clothes, until the impact. Police said that Kluwe had been driving with two wheels on the shoulder of the road. After the accident, he covered the victim with his coat and sent a passer-by to summon police and an ambulance for her. Both the county - prosecutor and the city attorney were no- itified of the accident by Saline Grossman to report the matter Par*- °f it." — and the affidavits — to the County Prosecutor, and that Grossman had not "done so. He asked Council to direct Grossman to make such a report. Buck said several of the signers of the petitions had volunteered information that they did not sign in the presence of Predmore. The law requires that the person listed as circulator of petitions must be present when they are signed. Grossman said he had not contacted the prosecutor's office because "I decided I would not want to set in motion proceedings that might end in the imprisonment of this man. I am not a prosecuting attorney — I therefore have no greater obligation in the matter than has Dr. Buck." . He said that, according to the effective statute, "any person who- shall falsely swear shall be guilty of perjury, which is a felony,,a crime punishable by not more than 15 years in Jackson prison." The ciculator of a petition, by signing as such, swears that all the signatures were obtained in his presence. Dairy Council Elects Officers Elton Frey was named president of the Washtenaw county Dairy Council at a meeting (Tuesday night, and Paul Wild ^was named vice president. Other officers elected include Mrs. Warren Finkbeiner, Farm Bureau Women's Representative, as secretary; Stanley Gill, treasurer; and Albert Gall, publicity chairman. The annual Dairy Banquet thas been set for Saturday, 'March 18 at Saline High School. j Speaker will be Will Foster, of New York, and the 1960 Michigan Dairy Princess, Linda Gri- nage, will be a guest. Ninety-nine members of the 7th grade class at Saline Intermediate School attended a roller skating party Tuesday night, at the Imperial Roller Rink in Ypsilanti. Arrangements for the party were made by Mrs. Robert Kessell, class sponsor, and Mrs. Hubert Beach, room mother. Police and sheriff's deputies 1 ™ost lotions have space for itwo circulators to sign; but these carried only Predmore's name. who assisted at the scene. No charges were filed by either office. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney William Delhey said this week: "After investigation, it would appear there was no state law violated by the driver. There is no indication of speeding; and he was not passing; there is no. law against driving on the shoulder except for passing on the right." Said City Attorney Allan Grossman: "The Saline Police department promptly reported the facts of the case to my office. Investigation does not, in my judgment, indicate that a charge for violation of a city ordinance should be authorized by my office at this time." "Mayor for a Day" Matches Saline with Bloomfield Hills Saline will trade mayors with Bloomfield Hills on Mayor Exchange Day, May 22, held annually as part of the Michigan Week observance. Bloomfield Hills, in Wayne county, has a population about the same size as Saline's. Other Washtenaw county communities paired in the drawing at Lansing this week include Ann Arbor with Iron Mountain; Ypsilanti - Benzonia; Chelsea - Manistee; Dexter ■- Fowlerville; Manchester - Nashville; and Milan - Rogers City. TO SPONSOR BENEFIT CARD PARTY Washtenaw County Hospital Auxiliary members in this area wili sponsor a benefit card party on Friday, March 3, at Saline township hall at 8 p.m. There will be prizes and refreshments ahd everyone is cordially invited to attend. POLICE CHIEF KIRBY SUFFERS RELAPSE Police Chief Earl Kfrby, who recently underwent an emer- . gency appendectomy, is still \ laid up at home. He's recovered from the surgery performed on him, but has now contracted an infection "which has weakened him considerably and put him back in bed. The source of the infection has been located, however, and is being combatted by various~me(Mcines. Chief Kirby hopes -to be back oh his feet in the near future.. No action was taken by Council on the matter. . Said Prosecutor William Agar, Tuesday: "After a conversation with Dr. Buck, I have ordered a complete and full investigation through the county sheriffs department, and have requested the sheriff to pick up the affidavits and turn them over to my office." "There might be a violation of the law . . . possibly this might amount to perjury," Agar said. But some of the election statutes forbid certain acts without making them criminal. The prosecutor's office is not concerned with non-criminal cases, Agar pointed out, and the investigation "will determine whether any crime has been committed." Neither would the results of the investigation affect the validity of the election, he explained. That could only be determined through a court suit, a civil case,., again not involving the prosecutor's office. Said Grossman: "I am familiar with the custom in petitions. I am active in politics and know that they are often casually handled. As a practical matter, petitions in this town have been laid out on counters, and when filled, someone signs the affa- davit at the bottom. This is a false swearing, and is perjury." He added: "Anyone in this room is capable of reporting this matter. If treason or murder had been committed, I think I'd probably pick up the phone, but in this case if the city reported it, the city might feel kind of ashamed of itself afterward. I don't get too upset if I don't think there was any intention to defraud. I believe in equal justice; and I think if we report this, we ought to report it every time a political candidate's petitions are circulated like this." Council briefly discussed Buck's request that the matter be reported: Said Mayor Jack Bennett: "Dr. Buck, what do you think tlie city or the Council has to gain by having Mr. Predmore prosecuted?" " Said Buck: "I'm not having anybody prosecuted. I don't know that a crime has heen committed. I want an investigation, that's all." Said Grossman: "Dr. Buck is trying to pass the buck, first to me then to the Council. Why doesn't he report it?" Said George Johnson: "I remember seeing other petitions affixed to a counter in a restaurant . . . I saw many people signing them although no. circulator was there. Either-we go all the way, or we don't go any-; where at all. It-applies to everyone or it. applies to no one." Said Doug Milhan: "I.believe the voters, will take care of this in their own -way." (The questions TaisedJonparking and hiring are scheduled to appear on the April ballot.) "If it's a matter of trying to get an individual in trouble; I don't want any Saline Bands Plan Concert Next Month Members of the Junior and Senior High School Bands will present their annual Festival Concert at the High School auditorium Sunday, March 12. The Festival, open to the public, will help to pay for the band's summer trip to Interlochen National Music Camp. The concert, scheduled at 4 p.m., will include both program music and modern numbers. Students will make an "Every Family Canvass" before the event, to sell tickets, 75 cents for adults and 25 cents for students. Tickets will also be available from band parents, or at the door. It is hoped that the Festival Concert will raise enough funds "to make up for the meager financial receipts from the Band Frolics", Director Arthur Katterjohn said this week.

This dish was excellent. Normally, I'm not a big fan of mayo but the olives and balance with the sour cream was perfect. I will definitely make this tofu again--for my vegetarian and even my meat eating husband.
Grilled Lemon-Basil Tofu Burgers

A great dinner, easy to make, and leftovers prvided some great lunches the following day. I also left the tofu on the grill a bit longer than the recommended 3 minutes on each side (waited until they were fairly firm before removing). We used some hearty bread rather than hamburger buns, toasted, and coated them with a thin layer of basil pesto topped with the tomatoe slices (rather than the mayo-recipe included). Wonderful overall and am passing it along to friends.
garyloewenthal Posted: 08/06/10
The flavor blend in this recipe is marvelous! It had a lightness, with the lemon and basil, but was also hearty, filling, and satisfying. I kept it vegan with Veganaise (a superb product) and vegan sour cream. Perfect with a side of sweet potato fries. I've used tofu quite a bit for stir-fries and tofu scramble, but not as a burger.
amnevers1 Posted: 06/22/11
Great quick dinner. I baked it since it was raining too hard to grill. Marinade was great, would love it on pasta. I didn't serve it as burgers, just as slices with some sides. Even my non vegetarian kids liked it! I will try it as suggested in the near future.
AlohaCara Posted: 06/21/11
This was the first recipe I ever tried with tofu... I was more than pleasantly surprised by the results! The flavor, texture, ease of this burger were all fabulous! Even my husband (who's very much into his evening protein) went back for a second burger. I can never seem to find watercress so I sub in arugula instead. I also use soy sour cream and will likely try the Nayonaise next time I entertain my vegan friends and want to WOW them with something different & oh-so-flavorful. (One last note: be sure to really drain the tofu before grilling it. I line a plate with a clean dishtowel, wrap the tofu slices in papertowels, put tofu on the plate & sit a cook book on top of it for 20-30 minutes.)
mirandam4 Posted: 07/03/12
This was delicious!! I followed the recipe exactly, except that I baked the tofu slices at 400* instead of grilling them. I made this for company and everybody loved it! (When I said we were having tofu burgers everyone was skeptical...until they tasted it!) The freshness of the lemon and basil marinade with the mayo/sour cream/kalamata olive sauce really complement each other! I served this with roasted asparagus and avocado "fries." YUM!
desiree324 Posted: 08/22/12
This was great! I used lemon instead of sour cream for the spread, and instead of watercress and tomato, I used mozzarella cheese and avocado. And I also used an indoor grill and it turned out perfect!

amazing tofu burgers! wouldn't change a thing

What's it like to play at the World's Most Famous Arena? I got a chance to find out a few weeks ago when Foot Locker invited a group of journalists to play in a scrimmage at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of its Hottest Month Ever campaign.
After changing into our game gear in the MSG visitor's locker room, the journalists-turned-hoopsters milled about in the tunnel outside the court, waiting for the green light to go on the floor. Let's just say we didn't look like the most athletic bunch. "I want to see someone dunk like Blake Griffin," joked one Foot Locker employee.
"Blake Griffin? More like Peter Griffin," cracked one journalist, referring to the dad from Family Guy.

But when Yuan Yuan realized where the 7-month-old cub had gotten to, she quickly came out and scooped her up by the fur. Try as Yuan Zai might, there was no convincing her mother to let her stay up late. In fact, Yuan Yuan kept a firm grasp on her baby girl until she fell back to sleep.

Benefits Of MicroArt Makeup For The Summer
Micro Art makeup is semi-permanent makeup, lasting for about three years, for the lash line, brows and lips.
There are various benefits of this procedure:
Never Again Worry About Ruined Makeup
Having a Micro Art makeup procedure done during the summer is ideal as it will make sure that you look great all the time without having to worry about your makeup melting or smudging because of the heat or the water. There will be no need to worry that your eyeliner will give you raccoon eyes after a day spent in the sun or the lip liner will smudge after you take a dip in the pool because you will not need to use any of these products. Micro Art semi-permanent makeup will stay in place no matter what and you will look great all the time, regardless of whether you are at the beach, a party or the gym.
Save Time Everyday
With Semi-Permanent Makeup, you can cut a large portion of your morning routine out of the way. There is no need to spend time fussing about makeup because you will not have to apply a lot of makeup anymore. There will be no need to painstakingly apply lip liner or lipstick because with Micro Art makeup your lip will be lined and shaded according to the color of your choice. The time spent applying eye liner will also be saved with Micro Art makeup procedure your eyes will be highlighted with a fine line between the lashes and you will always have a much thicker lash line. This is especially beneficial for busy professional women who do not always have the time to apply makeup but need to look good all the time.
You will not only save time by not having to apply makeup all the time, but also the time spent buying makeup products and trying to figure out which basic colors look good on you. It will no longer be necessary to hunt for the perfect non-smudging eyeliner or lip pencil which can resist the summer heat.
You Will Look Naturally Beautiful
Summer is all about looking natural but well-groomed at the same time and Micro Art makeup will ensure that you look precisely that. A Micro Art design consultant will help you choose a natural looking color for your lips and eyes so you have a youthful fuller look without anyone even realizing that you have even undergone a Micro Art makeup procedure. On average, Micro Art makeup makes a person look about five years younger.
The Procedure Is Performed In Minimal Time
No one wants to spend their summer recovering from a cosmetic procedure, which is why you need Micro Art. The Micro Art makeup procedure takes about one hour, does not create any swelling and allows you to resume your social activities as normal. Recovery time is negligible, allowing you to enjoy your summer.

Pick A Celebrity
17.01.12 / Celebrities, Sex, Sex Tape, Uncategorized / Author: David Frasier / Comments: (1)
A fun party conversation that can be a bit of a game to play is to discuss what celebrities, living or dead, people might want to see in a celebrity sex tape scandal. It can be fun to discuss how each celebrity might be in bed based on what we see of them in the media. More than likely, everyone is completely wrong in their assumptions, but it can lead to an interesting discussion. Which celebrities appear to be really sweet and innocent and probably only have sex with the lights off? Which celebrities are most likely to be into something kinky or even deviant? Which celebrities might have sexual issues?
It can be really enjoyable to speculate about people and what they might be like in bed, even if it's not always a particularly nice thing to do to talk about people behind their backs. With celebrities though, it isn't as though they will ever find out about the discussion and have their feelings hurt. Most people do talk about celebrities as if they know them personally because most people do feel that they are very familiar with people who are in the media a lot.
People talk about celebrities as if they are friends with them. They feel they know a lot about celebrities. It sometimes doesn't really sink in that we only know what we're allowed to see publicly, and none of us really know what any of them are really like in private. It's probably safe to assume that the public persona isn't a complete picture of what a celebrity is really like in behind closed doors in their private life. To some extent, we're no different than celebrities when it comes to showing one certain persona in public and another in private. In fact, most people have a work persona, a family persona, a private persona, a sex persona and many other different aspects of our personality that we share or don't share depending on where we are and who we're with.

Ya, so what's next? Want me to hand you some t6 tokens free? I'm sorry, but some things you need to work for, I swear this game is going to be all for the casuals before long. To do the "badass" stuff, you need to do some "badass" work, I'm sorry. it's a fair trade.
Soon after 2.4, the cries of nerf everything in Hyjal and BT will be filling the skies at night. I can't wait!
I'm pretty livid honestly.
If you cannot attune, forget about downing the mobs. I mean how frigging hard was it anyways?
I guess you could buy a spare account, level a toon and toss it into a raid and get some T6 and sell it quick. Remove all the time needed to attune from the critical path to pay day.
All for the casuals.
no wait ... your serious?
wow.. LOL
us casuals still wont set foot in the place, we'll still be trying to find enough time and people with our casual schedule to PUG Kara you butt hurt little raidtard. This change affects maybe 2% of the games pop, 98% of us dont have the time to get all the gear needed to do these instances anyhow.
To hear you butt hurt little raidtards whine you'd think they changed it from a 25 man to a 5 man heroic.
Thank you for your stunning and witty insight into this topic. But see, we've seen a lot of 'casual' guilds going into TK and SSC and wiping for months and months now. You may not be going to BT and Hyjal, but plenty will, and will immediately start complaining about how hard it is.
It has less to do with a 'private' playground and more that people seem to honestly believe that the best gear and the major lore characters in this game should not be hard to get or kill. Give me a break.

Nothing is more entertaining then when someones jealousy and envy get the best of them.
I spend 3 hours per night, 3 nights a week....raiding. I'm sure the fact that I had Karazhan on full clear 9 months ago had a little something to do with skill.
"Casual" raiders as a general rule, lack the skill, dedication, and time needed to achieve objectives. This in turn, limits what they can see/do/loot.
"Casual" pvpers as a general rule, lack the skill, dedication and time needed to achieve objectives. This in turn, limits to what they can see/do/loot (as do personal ratings)
It's like saying "Hey little boy, I know you suck at Mario Bros, and can't get past world 4-2. It's ok though, cause now you can start on world 8-4!"
If you're stuck in Kara, then either you are EXTREMELY slow, or started playing this game last week. Either way, I don't want to hear why. Certain achievements should remain just that, achievements.
It's bad enough everyone in Org looks the same, now everyone can do the same thing, regardless of ability.
It's bull.
We broke our faces on Kael. I broke my wallet on Kael. It's a right of passage. Not a "right to pass" if you get my meaning.
Why does Ony still req attunement? Or BWL?

The British judge who sentenced a 33-year-old India-born mom for murdering her 7-year-old son was sympathetic to her history of depression and domestic violence, yet gave her 17 years in prison, citing her "prolonged cruelty."
LONDON — A British judge Monday sentenced a woman he called a "devoted and loving mother" to at least 17 years in prison for beating her son to death after he failed to memorize passages from the Quran.
A jury at Cardiff Crown Court in Wales convicted 33-year-old Sara Ege last month of murdering 7-year-old Yaseen and burning his body to destroy the evidence.
Judge Wyn Williams said Ege beat Yaseen repeatedly with a stick over several months, causing internal injuries.
He said that, on the day he died in 2010, Yaseen had been kept home from school to memorize verses from the Muslim holy book, and that his failure "was the trigger for the beating" that killed him.
The judge agreed with defense arguments about India-born Ege's state of mind, saying she was "a devoted and loving mother" who suffered from depression and had been a victim of domestic violence.
Still, he said, she subjected her son to "prolonged cruelty."
Ege admitted killing her son in a confession taped by police, but later retracted it and blamed her husband, Yousef. He was tried and acquitted on a charge of failing to prevent his son's death.
Ege sobbed as the judge passed sentence. Williams said the 2½ years she had spent in secure psychiatric units since her arrest would count toward her 17-year minimum sentence.

Today, probably a couple billion human beings around the world are celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Whether you believe as I d do that Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, it is the date celebrated throughout the world.
This isn't going to be the usual warm and fuzzy Christmas day message.
The last few weeks folks around the country have been treated to lovely Christmas carols. Millions speak about 'Peace on earth, goodwill toward men'.
I'm sorry, but if emptier words were ever spoken those are at the top of the list. When was the last time there was truly peace on earth? If it's not tribes in some African country murdering each other, it's some other faction in another country murdering each other. It never seems to end. Just like our invasions and continued occupation of countries in the Middle East.
Some might say what I've written here is not appropriate for Christmas day, but I believe it is because Jesus is also called 'The Prince of Peace': "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6, KJV
Following the slaughter in Newtown, CT, Barry Soetoro aka Obama took to the cameras and pretended to shred tears that "captured the hearts of many". What he said in Newtown was classic propaganda:
"And we know we can't do this by ourselves. It comes as a shock at a certain point where you realize, no matter how much you love these kids, you can't do it by yourself. That this job of keeping our children safe, and teaching them well, is something we can only do together, with the help of friends and neighbors, the help of a community, and the help of a nation. And in that way, we come to realize that we bear a responsibility for every child because we're counting on everybody else to help look after ours; that we're all parents; that they're all our children."
It takes a village all over again. I often refer to Soetoro as a Marxist because he pursues and supports all the goals of the Communist Party International. He is also a communitarian – something probably a hundred million adults in this country know nothing about, but is absolutely germane to what Barry said above. Let me quote from Masters of Seduction by Jeri Lynn Ball:
"The Communists planned to create not only a new way of life, but new human beings. They sought to achieve not only the reconstruction of social and cultural institutions, but reconstruction of human beings. Communist totalitarianism has undergone tremendous growth over the past century only because it has "the support of a man of a new social and psychological type"—the "new communitarian (Communist) man." A communitarian is a member of a communistic community. A communitarian adopts and advocates communistic concepts, such as a spirit of community, selfless commitment to community service, and the duty to work for "the common good." The terms "Communist" and "communitarian" are synonyms and are interchangeable, but the word "communitarian" connotes a sense of community and a spirit of collectivism.
"In 1928 Communists formally adopted "The Program" for building a new global communitarian social order composed of the ruling elite (the masters) and subjugated masses (the slaves). Soviet masters used the communitarian social system and moral code to prepare the "new communist man." They reinforced the "spirit of community" that had been present in Europe for 200 years and instilled communitarian moral ideals into all Soviet citizens. The masters "reconstructed" each individual by urging him to: 1) develop a sense of community; (2) cultivate the communist virtue of selflessness; 3) suppress his personality, individuality, and identity, i.e., his personal desires, ambitions, beliefs, etc.; 4) merge himself into the community and become one with it; 5) fulfill his obligation to perform community service and accept his duty to work for "the common good." The communitarian moral code is the powerful secret weapon Communists have used to enslave whole populations."
As we all know, Soetoro's only job experience was as a community organizer.
"Communitarianism holds that the individual is nothing and that the community is all; the interests of the community transcend the interests of the individual; the common good comes before the private good.
"The Role of the Government in the Communitarian Society
"In a communitarian society, the role of the government is to define, dictate, and implement community needs. Each citizen is conditioned to accept the loss of his individuality and identity, to reject individual initiative and enterprise, and to become a collective animal. He is trained to yield to governmental authority for "the good of the community." In a communitarian society, the masters assume high positions in government and become the mind, the voice, and the conscience of the community. By grouping people into a "community"—a collectivized society—by creating an array of community rituals, campaigns, organizations, and service programs, by urging or requiring ever greater community participation, the masters can constantly increase their supervision, guidance, and regimentation of every activity and every need of every individual in the society."
"In a full-blown communitarian society, there are no such things as individual God-given rights or private property, and the masters believe that they are acting for the "good of the community" when they invoke obedience through barbaric savagery, fiendish brutality, the most inhuman, unrestrained use of force. They believe that unless there is sufficient brutality to ensure blind obedience and blind conformity, the masses will suffer. With a clear conscience, they summarily execute recalcitrant resisters who refuse to be reconstructed."
Gifted writer, Niki Rapana, sees communitarianism (being taught on college campuses nationwide) as:
"Communitarianism combines or "balances" far-right capitalism (fascism) with far-left communism (totalitarianism) to make the "perfect middle;" this is what makes one progressive. There is ample, verifiable evidence that shows Obama is a communitarian. There is only speculation that his values are communist. There is undeniable PROOF that he follows a program for global "change" called communitarianism. Accusations of communism play directly into the fake dialectical conflicts between the right and the left."
I believe he is both, but that's just my opinion. Quite frankly, Barry Soetoro is nothing but an empty suit who does what he's told. In return, he and his militant wife live high on the hog from the sweat off your back. Right now they're in Hawaii living it up like royalty.
Let me go back to Soetoro's speech in Newtown that I have no doubt was written by someone else:
"Can we honestly say that we're doing enough to keep our children — all of them — safe from harm? Can we claim, as a nation, that we're all together there, letting them know that they are loved, and teaching them to love in return? Can we say that we're truly doing enough to give all the children of this country the chance they deserve to live out their lives in happiness and with purpose?
"I've been reflecting on this the last few days, and if we're honest with ourselves, the answer is no. We're not doing enough. And we will have to change.
"Since I've been President, this is the fourth time we have come together to comfort a grieving community torn apart by a mass shooting. The fourth time we've hugged survivors. The fourth time we've consoled the families of victims. And in between, there have been an endless series of deadly shootings across the country, almost daily reports of victims, many of them children, in small towns and big cities all across America — victims whose — much of the time, their only fault was being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
The illegitimate president has no legal authority to be commander-in-chief. But, while he has assumed that duty, how many children in the wrong place at the wrong time have been murdered by US drones? What? Why, Devvy, you can't make that comparison here. Oh, yes I can and I will.
Those precious lives, the children and teachers, in Newtown, CT., were murdered in cold blood. You tell me if that is any different than what has been going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan for years?

This was a good recipe, but lacked something. We're not sure what though. It didn't have the strong flavor we expected. We added a little extra salt, but I think it needed some heat.
Cauliflower, Potato, and Pea Curry
Our version of this curry, a favorite combination of vegetables in India, unites cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red-pepper flakes. Fresh cilantro provides an herbal note. Serve the curry as a generous side dish or with rice for a meatless main dish.
Yield: 4
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes
- 1 medium head cauliflower (about 1 pound), cut into large florets (about 4 cups)
- 1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes (about 4), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup frozen petite peas
- 1. In a large deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, and red-pepper flakes and stir. Add the cauliflower and potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- 2. Add the tomatoes, 1/4 cup of the cilantro, the water, and the salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the peas and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and cook, covered, until the peas are tender, about 2 minutes longer.
- Variation: If you like, you can add three tablespoons dried unsweetened coconut to the curry. Put it in at the same time as the peas.
- Wine Recommendation: Go for your favorite full-bodied, full-flavored white wine. A California chardonnay, for example, won't be wiped out by the curry's earthy and hot spices.

MDS of Pantheon Songs wonders:
What are some movies that are generally considered to be classics that you found to be just terrible/boring/ridiculous?
I fell asleep watching Citizen Kane on video; in general, I prefer seeing a film first on the big screen. But that lapse was probably because I was tired. The only film during which I ever fell asleep at a movie theater, excluding drive-in double features, was Empire of the Sun (1987), and again, maybe I was just fatigued.

Chris from Off the Shore of Orion starts off the Ask Roger Anything jamboree with:
You can only have one of these three powers: infinite strength, the ability to fly, or the ability to read minds.
Which one would you pick, why, and what would you use it for?
I decided to deconstruct this. How often have I said, "Boy, do I wish I were stronger so I can do X?" Not that often, in the grander scheme of things. Maybe during my many moves, but many hands make light work. Besides, I'd probably end up schlepping stuff for others far too often
I've wanted to fly since I was a child, had the flying dreams and everything. It would save time, and time is a finite, not a fungible, commodity. Thought that would be it.

Tom the Mayor, who I know personally, pondered:
Here is a hard one Roger! Who do you think will win the presidential election?
I went to 270towin.com. The map there suggests that Obama has 217 likely electoral votes, and Romney with 191 electoral votes, with 130 electoral votes listed as a tossup. Three states in that latter category are hugely important – Florida (29), Pennsylvania (20), and Ohio (18). I suspect that whoever wins at least 2 out of 3 will probably win the White House.

That would be Bruce Banner. He is the guy who has anger management issues. Fortunately, I was raised well enough that I don't act on my pent-up rage so I don't Hulk out. But sometimes, things just infuriate me.
One example is the story of Kenneth Chamberlain, a 68-year-old veteran of the U.S. Marines, was killed in his home by the police in White Plains, NY, on November 19, 2011, after his medical alert device was accidentally set off. According to his son, the audio device installed in his father's home as part of his medical alert system captured racial slurs – Chamberlain was black – and after the door was knocked down, being Tased before being shot dead.
You've probably heard about shooting death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin at the hands of "neighborhood watch" vigilante George Zimmerman on February 26. There may be disagreement over just what happened that night, but there's little doubt that incompetent police work after the fact was involved.

Never Forget 9/11. But Bring on the Chaos.
Voices, May 28, 2010
Howard Lutnick is one of the savviest folks on Wall Street. He famously lost 658 members of his staff at Cantor Fitzerald on September 11, 2001. The saddest: the fellow he fired the day before who came back to pick up his things.
That was a defining moment. For his firm, it took 47 hours of crash technical work to get its famous eSpeed bond trading platform back up and running. For the rest of Wall Street, it was worse. It was chaos. The New York Stock Exchange did not open for business again until September 17.
Nine years later, Lutnick has rebuilt the firm as BGC Partners, a voice and electronic brokerage with offices in 20 cities around the globe, operations in multiple asset classes and $1.2 billion in annual revenue.
And he loves chaos.
Here's the unscripted Lutnick, from BGC Partners' investor and analyst day Thursday at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Battery Park.
"What is our business?
"We are an intermediary, a middleman. We don't make money when the markets go up, we don't lose any money when the markets go down. We're all about volume. How is business today, how is business yesterday. It's really great when spreads widen out, that's not bad. When spreads dramatically tighten, that's not bad, as long as they are all moving around. What's the worst thing we could say? Friday, it's August and it's boring. That's bad.''
"Chaos. Right? Chaos, crisis, risk. You name it. If it's on the cover of the newspaper and it has to do with finance, that's good.
"When bad things are happening to large countries, it just means we're really busy there."
Why is bad stuff a good thing for BGC?
Chaos engenders trading. More trading, up or down, creates more business for a broker. More revenue.
And, here's where Lutnick is savvy, he never overplays his hand. He only cares about what he calls "distributable earnings." You would call it cash. The cash that is left over after all operations are paid for, all taxes paid for, all interest paid for. The stuff left over for ... shareholders and partners.
Again, the unscripted Lutnick:
"We focus on distributable earnings, cash earnings, money. All those ways of thinking about it.That's what we look at.
"All the things we talk about are distributable earnings. Distributable earnings. Another way to say it is, money we could pay on dividends. It's cash that we have. It doesn't stress the company. It doesn't touch our cash flow. It doesn't touch our tangible equity."
Yes, he may be cashing in on chaos. But if Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns had worried a bit more -- a lot more -- about the cash that was being generated by the folks paying off loans in those big pools of mortgages that got the entire world into such trouble, they would be around today.
And much bigger than BGC.
What Lutnick has created is a machine. An increasingly electronic machine that is a middleman to whatever the world wants to trade.
He'll make money off of whatever that might be, whether it's executing credit default swaps or futures based on movie box office receipts.
It's the world that has to figure out what is really worth trading in.

1/3 cup chicken broth, warmed
2 tablespoons reduced fat sour cream
Salt and Pepper
Thinly sliced fresh chives for garnish
Place the cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or until completely tender.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a food processor. Add chicken broth, sour cream, salt and pepper; puree until smooth. Serve garnished with sliced chives.
Great recipe. I enjoyed eating cauliflower this way, steamed just isn't my thing. So many other recipes had extras in it, love the simplicity. LOVE PAULA DEEN, she's our girl!!!!

The sour cream in the mashed cauliflower is a substitute for what? My son-in-law doesn't like sour cream. Thank you, Lynn

These are just great. My husband couldn't believe there was no butter in it.

Everyone asking for nutritional info can calculate it themselves. My Fitness Pal has a recipe tool where you can put in the ingredients & how many servings and it calculates ALL of the nutritional data. In a perfect world, recipe sites would put that, but they don't. And it's helpful if you develop your own recipes.

didnt have a food processor so I mashed them the best I could. used low sodium broth and full fat sour cream . I also added shredded colby jack cheese in it and also on top and placed it in the oven to melt the cheese. I liked them but the family not so much . but overall.... good and easy !
