Posts tagged: Joe Shogan
A retired Spokane police officer will have his hypnosis weight-loss therapy paid for by city tax money.
Members of the Spokane Police Pension and Relief Board unanimously approved the unusual claim from board member Gary Gow at its meeting Thursday.
Gow, who retired from the Spokane Police Department in 1985 after 20 years of service, abstained from voting. He's been a member of the pension board for 21 years.
Read the rest of my story here.
The story was posted on LawOfficer.com's Facebook page today. The comments are quite interesting.
Supporters of marijuana legalization briefly halted last night's Spokane City Council meeting.
The protesters from Sensible Washington stood during the annual report to the council from Police Ombudsman Tim Burns, prompting City Council President Joe Shogan to order them to sit or leave.
Rebeckah Aubertin, who said she is the Spokane recruiter for Sensible Washington, held two large signs.
One read: "Stop funding dirty cops." Another said: "Prohibition hurts family."
Spokane Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick said this week that she hopes to bring more public focus on the perception of officers involved in fatal shootings.
"We get so focused on whether a person is armed and is it a knife or whatever. We've got to change this focus. It's whatever the officer is faced with - is it life threatening to that officer?" Kirkpatrick said at a meeting of the city's Public Safety Committee." We need to continue to bring this forward, because officers do get killed when there was no gun."
City Attorney Rocky Treppiedi said the media and public don't focus on that.
"The public or the media will focus on, from the public's perspective, you know, what occurred," Treppiedi said. "The law focuses not on what the public perceived or what the witnesses perceived or even what the shooting victim perceived. The law focuses on what the chief said, and that is what did the officer perceive?"
Treppiedi continued, "whereas a lot of the public's discussion comes from 'but witnesses said x and the editor says y.'"
The discussion took place Monday as Lt. Craig Meidl presented to committee members internal affairs investigation data that included the number of officer-involved shootings since 2006 (three in 2010, two in 2009, zero in 2008, four in 2007 and zero in 2006.)
Committee member and City Councilman Bob Apple asked if the department was revamping policies and questioned shooting suspects who are armed with knives and not guns.
Kirkpatrick said she once had an officer shot in the line of duty with his own weapon.
"No one was armed when he showed up, but…he lost the wrestling match and the guy grabbed his gun and shot and killed him," Kirkpatrick said.
She emphasized that the threat of grievous bodily injury - one justification for the use of deadly force - can differ from situation to situation.
"What is grievous bodily injury is going to be very unique in that particular event that that officer is faced with," Kirkpatrick said.
City Council President Joe Shogan said situations could end differently if police were called sooner. He referred to the Dec. 4 shooting of Jeremy Groom by police outside a Hillyard tavern.
Groom was shot as he pointed a gun at a man who turned out to be one of his best friends. His friends say Groom never would have shot the man and say officers didn't give him time to drop the gun.
The dispute began inside the tavern. Shogan said options seemed limited by the time police were called.
"I would hope that citizens would say 'OK if we're going to involve the police, let's involve them sooner than later," Shogan said. "Don't wait until this gets to be a flash point and then hope that there are a lot of options, which, at that point, I don't think there are."
A man convicted of harassing the Spokane city council president and the chairwoman of the company that owns The Spokesman-Review was sentenced today to credit for time already served in jail.
David H. Elton, 44, will be on unsupervised probation for two years. He was sentenced to a year in jail with 351 days suspended. Elton already spent two weeks in jail after his arrest in February 2009.
A jury convicted him of misdemeanor harassment against Council President Joe Shogan and Cowles Co. chairwoman Betsy Cowles for emails sent in December 2008 and February 2009.
Prosecutors had sought felony convictions against Elton for threats to kill, but the jury ruled the victims did not reasonably fear for their lives.
A third charge alleging Elton harassed his ex-wife has been dismissed.
This morning, Deputy Prosecutor Dale Nagy asked Judge Maryann Moreno to prohibit Elton from consuming alcohol while on probation, but the judge declined, saying there was no way to enforce the requirement.
Past coverage:
Oct. 8: Jury convicts Elton of 2 misdemeanors
Oct. 6: Shogan, Cowles testify against Elton
According to court testimony Tuesday, Spokane City Council President Joe Shogan sent a mass email this week describing his near-death experiences at war.
"These look like, for lack of a better word, scary experiences," said Mark Hodgson, lawyer for David Elton, who's on trial for felony harassment against Shogan and Cowles Co. Chairwoman Betsy Cowles. "And David Elton didn't make the list?"
"No," Shogan replied. He then asked if he could explain why he was looking to rooftops after learning of threats from Elton in February 2009. Hodgson replied that he couldn't.
"Oh? OK," Shogan said huffily. A male juror smiled at the exchange.
Shogan later got a chance to explain his fixation on rooftops - saying he'd heard that "Mr. Elton considered himself a superb marksmen."
The testimony came Tuesday afternoon, the first day of a trial that's expected to end tomorrow morning. Shogan, city council president for five years, was the last witness to take the stand Tuesday. Read my full story on the opening day here.
Here are a few additional tidbits:
Shogan recalled a confrontation with Elton at City Hall on Election night 2007. Elton ended his public comment by saying "May I say Mayor Vernor?" which violated council rules on political speech because Verner hadn't yet been elected. Shogan banged his gavel and told Elton he was out of order, then was confronted by Elton outside council chambers.
"We talked really toe-to-toe together," Shogan said. "He told me he didn't like the way I run the meetings. I told him I didn't like that he couldn't follow instructions."
Shogan said he feared for his life when he learned from Spokesman-Review blog contributor John Olsen that Elton had threatened Shogan.
"When I saw the line about decapitation, I really wondered whether there was someone else out there who sort of did this work for him," Shogan said, referring to December 2008 email in which Elton said he would "enjoy the decapitation of Joey boy."
Olsen had called Elton after receiving an email in February 2009 in which Elton listed seven poeple, including Betsy Cowles, he wanted to kill. Shogan was not mentioned until Olsen called Elton to discuss the email. The administrators of the Community Comment blog, Dave Laird also received the email and notified the Spokesman-Review.
Hodgson emphasized the fact that neither email was sent directly to Shogan or Cowles, and that neither directly threatened to kill. In the February 2009 email, Elton writes, "That is the crux of the problem, I want to murder the following people," and lists seven names, including Cowles and her brother, S-R Publisher Stacey Cowles.
"Does Mr. Elton say he will murder the following people?" Hodgson asked.
"No, he just says he wants to," Olsen said.
In the phone call, Olsen said Elton never said he was going to kill Cowles or Shogan, nor did he saw he was going to harm them. He just wouldn't agree to contact Olsen if decided to.
"I was still concerned," Olsen said.
Deputy Prosecutor Dale Nagy asked Olsen if Elton can be "cunning."
"Mr Elton has led me to believe that he could subvert the truth and pull things off in a wily way if that's what you're asking," Olsen replied.
Trial begins today in the case of a Spokane man accused of threatening to kill the Spokane City Council president and the chairwoman of the company that owns The Spokesman-Review.
David H. Elton, 44, is charged with two counts of felony harassment - threats to kill in connection with e-mails sent to Joe Shogan and Betsy Cowles in early 2009. UPDATE AFTER TODAY'S TESTIMONY: Elton did not send the messages directly to the two, rather they learned of the messages through concerned citizens.
Opening statements are scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. before Superior Court Judge Maryann Moreno . A jury of 12 Spokane County residents, with two alternates, was selected Monday.
Elton, who was arrested Feb. 10, 2009, has said the emails were a joke and that he would never hurt anyone. Elton also was suspected of threatening to kill Cowles' brother, Spokesman-Review Publisher Stacey Cowles, but the publisher declined to pursue charges. (Stacey Cowles and Betsy Cowles are pictured.)
Spokane police Detective Corey Turman said in January that Elton said he wanted the Cowles family to sue him so he could use the evidence process to obtain company records.
But Elton, who described himself as a "hyperactive political activist," claimed "he was not willing to commit a crime just to get them in court," Turman said.
Deputy Prosecutor Dale Nagy has read portions of the e-mails naming Shogan (left) and Cowles at pre-trial hearings. They discuss Elton's knowledge of high-powered rifles and his intended victim's schedules, Nagy said. Elton also advises that getting him locked up won't do any good because he'll tell experts everything they want to hear, then cause mass destruction when he's released, Nagy said at a past court hearing.
The case has gone through seven judges and at least one defense lawyer. Elton faces a second trial on a charge that he threatened to kill his ex-wife, Robin Stewart.
In June, Moreno ordered Elton to undergo a mental evaluation to determine whether he's competent to stand trial. She cleared him for trial in August.
Betsy Cowles and Shogan are expected to testify. Nagy said he expects to wrap up his side of the case by Wednesday. Elton is represented by Mark Hodgson.

The Myth of the Lift
Is getting a ride all it"s cracked up to be?
It seemed like a no-brainer at the time. I mean, if you have to go to a funeral in New Jersey and you"re faced with a choice between public transportation (in this case, a bus from Port Authority followed by either a long walk or a short cab ride) and a ride in a friend-of-a-friend"s car, you choose the ride, right?
That"s what I did. Now, it"s true that I live uptown and I had to take the subway down to the Village, where the owner of the car was. But what"s a 20-minute subway ride if it saves me from having to take the Port Authority bus?
Unfortunately, we had to wait another 15 minutes for the other passengers to arrive (there were two other ride seekers). But then we were off.
Right away it was apparent that no one, least of all the driver, knew where we were going, and using the GPS on a cell phone while driving at high speeds on the highway turned out to be not so effective. We got hopelessly lost's the kind of lost where there is no possibility of retracing your steps; the kind of lost where you spend an inordinate amount of time looking for a gas station in the hope of getting directions, which gets you even more lost than you were before. My anxiety was intensified by the amount of blithe socializing going on inside the car; there was a lot of, "So how do you know so-and-so?" when everyone should have been focused on looking for the right exit. No one but me seemed to care that we were going to be horribly late to what we had been told was a very small funeral. I thought with longing of the Port Authority bus.
This was not the first time I had been seduced by the seeming luxury of getting a ride. Every Christmas I am invited to a party in Westchester and I usually go to great lengths to arrange a ride; often it"s with someone I do not know very well. Last year, on the way back not only did the car I was in get lost, it broke down. It took me four hours to get home. Once again I found myself wondering, why didn"t I just take the train?
Just why does "The Ride have so much allure for New Yorkers? Offer someone a ride to a party on the other side of the park and it seems too glorious to pass up. All of us have at least a bit of car envy. Door-to-door service. Privacy. You are not dependent on the transportation system; you are in control. Driving is how the other half's that is, the rest of America–lives.
But the rest of America doesn"t risk spending hours stuck in Midtown traffic or looking for a parking space. And, for the most part, the rest of America are driving their own cars. When you accept a ride from someone else, he is in control. It"s really bad form to jump out and say, "Thanks for the ride! while the driver searches for a space. You can be within sight of your dinner party (or even worse, a theater event, with the minutes ticking down toward curtain time) and be stuck circling around and around the block, praying to the parking gods and getting more stressed out with every second.
The key to this whole ride business, as with so many other areas of life, is who you are with. If you are riding with good friends, you won"t care that much if you a little lost. Last Saturday I opted for a cab ride home with friends who offered to "drop me off, even though I knew by the time we found a taxi and crawled along the West Side Highway it would take much longer than the subway. We sang Cole Porter songs to each other and so it was fine.
But, when in doubt, I say opt for the good old MTA. So often we forget that one of the best things about New York City is that no one has to drive. Why else are there so many cocktail parties here?

Derma Wand is an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle product that's a little different from many of the other products we've looked at here. It is not a cream or serum, but rather it is a pen shaped instrument that emits gentle electrical pulses at a rate of 114,000 cycles per second. The manufacturers of Derma Wand claim that the effect of these gentle pulses is to stimulate and increase the blood circulation in you face. This should ultimately give the user's face a more youthful, flushed appearance and a plumper all-around skin tone.
Product Details
Derma Wand is priced at $100. Alternatively, the Derma Wand kit which comes with three skin care products is priced at $119. The manufacturers state that the Derma Wand should be used in conjuction with a skin care routine which includes cleansing and moisturizing your skin. If you decide to order the product, at the same time you are sent your Derma Wand, you will also be sent a DVD which gives you a demonstration of how best to use the wand. The manufacturers advise you to use it for three minutes in the evening and three minutes in the morning.
The manufacturers of the Derma Wand market this product not only as a solution to wrinkles but also as a solution to other skin care problems such as enlarged pores on your face, dull skin, and puffy eyes. These claims sound pretty broad to us. The Derma Wand is not suitable for anyone who has a pacemaker or any other electrical medical device. The manufacturers also advise on their website that women who are pregnant should not use this product. There is some clinical research which shows that stimulation with electrical impulses can restore muscle function and also facilitate the healing of wounds. The same stimulation can also improve oxygenation in the blood and thus boost blood circulation. However, a lack of decent blood circulation is not generally considered to be a contributing factor when it comes to facial wrinkles.
The Good
- There is an official manufacturer's website for the Derma Wand.
- There is a 30 day money back guarantee.
- The manufacturers state clearly what the use instructions for this product are.
The Bad
- There is no clinical research data offered on the official website that testifies that the Derma Wand will live up to its anti-wrinkle claims.
- You cannot use the Derma Wand on your skin if you are pregnant.
- It should be used in conjunction with other skin care products. If there is an improvement in your skin, how do you distinguish if it was the Derma Wand or the moisturizer or facial cleanser that you are using that achieved the improvement in skin quality?
The Bottom Line
The Derma Wand will probably not do any harm to your skin if you follow the instructions and use it for only three minutes in the morning and the evening. If you use this product regularly it is likely that it will give your skin a temporary glow. However, before we recommend buying it to reduce your wrinkles instead of just helping with temporary rosy cheeks, we would like to see more clinical research data on this very different approach to wrinkle fighting.

Discovered in a magical time capsule and remastered for distribution in contemporary audio formats, 1975 is the Whomping Willow's first foray into songwriting. This album was written and recorded in the time of the Marauders, and thus songs center on the teenage years of several now-famous wizards, including Remus Lupin, Sirius and Regulus Black, Lily Evans, and James Potter. Note: This is a pre-order. Orders will ship by August 5, 2014.
New Whomping Willows record available for pre-order! Wizard rock is officially undead.

This song describes the Death Day Party of Nearly Headless Nick. Blending creative and haunting sounds with classical motifs we bring the chapter from the books only, not in the move, to life.
Scych's wizard rock tribute to the story of the three brothers and the Elder Wand.
36 notes (via newandhorrible & abitofoldparchment)
Yo, if you're sad about wizard rock after the events of the last few weeks, here, my dears, is a pick me up. Adam Dubberly aka The Mudbloods has released his ENTIRE wizard rock catalog (plus some extras) on bandcamp FOR FIVE AMERICAN MUGGLE DOLLARS. $5.
The music is excellent and seeing The Mudbloods on the deck by the lake at Wrockstock III is one of my favorite fandom memories. There is still so much beautiful work that has come out of this fandom, still so much to celebrate.
GET THIS if you don't have it yet. Heck, I am buying and I own everything except the Jingle Spells songs and the two new ones. Worth it.

New member in N. AL... I'm about to enter the 21st century and pull the plug on AT&T/Bellsouth 3Mb DSL and go for Knology standard or Edge Plus cable internet. Looking for some help to make sure I end up with good equipment and setup.My current setup uses a Motorola 2210 DSL modem with a Linksys WRT54GL router. Network devices number up to 5-6 wireless computers/game consoles, plus a printer or two.I know I'm buying a new modem and I plan to buy a new n-speed router. Looks like well-liked modems here and elsewhere are the Motorola SB6120 (replaced by SB6121?) and Motorola SBG6580. I'm inclined to go the separate modem/router path rather than an integrated modem/gateway. Anyone want to convince me one way or the other? Just to make sure I understand, the integrated modem/gateway eliminates the need for a separate router, right? SB6121 is $86 at Amazon and Newegg, SBG6580 is ~$129.The bigger question for me is the router. Main high-speed use will be video streaming, but downloads and gaming at times (when kids are home from college). Signal strength/coverage is important too, as devices are on different levels in the house. The Staples ad in this week's newspaper has n-speed routers at $50-180. That's a big price spread. Why should I spend 3X my money?Any suggestions will be much appreciated, especially ones based on personal experience!
I personally prefer the modem and router to be separate.I've had my current setup for about 3 years so my stuff is a little older but still works for my needs. I use the Motorola SB6120 and a Linksys WRT300N with DD-WRT firmware. I had to put the router in the middle of the house under the stairs to cover both upstairs and downstairs (2,700 sq ft house). I could have probably just added wireless access points to extend the coverage.Since my setup works I've not studied up on any of the newer stuff so maybe someone else will chime in the opinions on the latest/greatest stuff.
Been doing a bit more research, resulting in a question concerning single-band vs. dual-band. I'm still trying to determine whether any of my devices are 5 GHz capable, so I may not require dual-band. However, in looking at reviews of dual-band routers, throughput in the 2.4 GHz band appears to be higher than in a single-band device. Anyone have anecdotal evidence when upgrading from single- to dual-band router that you noticed a speed increase on 2.4 GHz?Lark3po, thanks for your reply. I think I'll go with a separate modem and router.
My installer actually recommended using a separate Router, he recommended the Netgear NWR2000 which I purchased and it's been a easy ride.

Regional Economic Outlook: Asia and Pacific
The five Regional Economic Outlooks published biannually by the IMF cover Asia and Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Western Hemisphere. In each volume, recent economic developments and prospects for the region are discussed as a whole, as well as for specific countries. The reports include key data for countries in the region. Each report focuses on policy developments that have affected economic performance in the region, and discusses key challenges faced by policymakers. The near-term outlook, key risks, and their related policy challenges are analyzed throughout the reports, and current issues are explored, such as when and how to withdraw public interventions in financial systems globally while maintaining a still-fragile economic recovery. These indispensable surveys are the product of comprehensive intradepartmental reviews of economic developments that draw primarily on information the IMF staff gathers through consultation with member countries.

I have been taking pictures at Memory Gardens and I noticed that you have taken pictures in Cedars of Lebanon, the crypts. Have you taken all of the large crypts, all sections. I'm trying to avoid duplicating efforts. Also I noticed some low ashes in that area. Have you done those? Or any area that you have done completely. Thanks

I think it's sort of redundant for you to post a duplicate headstone for this family when it's already been posted and it's eligible. So would you mind deleting your photos of the single headstones for this family.

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert needs to watch more TV.
There's no need for him to spend his valuable time watching sitcoms, dramas or reality shows. But, clearly, he hasn't spent enough time watching documentaries about the civil-rights movement.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Two such documentaries aired in the past couple of weeks. "Freedom Summer" was the latest in a series of outstanding programs on PBS. And CNN's "The Sixties" included the riveting two-hour episode "The Long March to Freedom."
Neither documentary made any effort to draw parallels between the civil-rights movement in the 1960s and the gay-rights movement today, but the similarities are unmistakable.
Had Herbert seen either documentary, one would hope it would give him pause about his continued fight against same-sex marriage.
You watch those programs, and your jaw hits the floor. It's astonishing to see then-Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett insisting that the end of segregation would be the end of life as we know it.
"God was the original segregationist,'' he declared. ''He made the white man white and the black man black, and he did not intend for them to mix.''
Barnett, Alabama Gov. George Wallace and various other racist mayors and sheriffs insist they're just upholding the laws of their states.
Sound familiar?
The tone may have been different, but the message was the same five decades later when Herbert responded to a federal court striking down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage.
Decades from now, clips of his public statements will be part of documentaries about the fight for gay rights. Viewers' jaws will drop when they hear him say that governors and attorneys general who choose not to defend their state's same-sex marriage bans were taking "the next step toward anarchy."
Future documentarians will salivate when they come across the clip of Herbert saying, "What you choose to do with your sexual orientation is different in my mind than what you're born with as far as your race."
And those future documentarians will, no doubt, draw the parallel between the LDS Church's stance and Herbert's statement, "What your attraction may be is something else, but how you act upon those impulses is a choice."
Viewers will cringe. Herbert's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be embarrassed. In those future documentaries, Utah will play the part of Mississippi in the 1960s — a backward state whose elected officials fought to deny many of its citizens basic rights.
Herbert will be remembered. But not in the way he hopes.

superb volume, great condition
Love this - works great with the matching conditioner on my highlighted long & lanky locks, boofs them up a treat! The 2in1 is also great, the first 2 for 1 I've ever tried that actually works on my hair.

Carnegie Robotics opens manufacturing center in PittsburghA new robotic firm has opened shop, Carnegie Robotics, with plans to manufacture products and service components with an assist from the latest research developed by the National Robotics Engineering Center in Lawrenceville at Carnegie Mellon University.
As a spinoff of the NREC, the firm will ultimately turn robotic innovations into commercial products, further strengthening the NREC while expanding the robotics industry in western Pennsylvania, says Mark Kamlet, executive vice president and provost of Carnegie Mellon.
John Bares will step down as director of the NREC to direct the company, which will start out with four people and concentrate on producing components for other manufacturers in the mining agriculture, petroleum production and defense industries. Anthony Stentz, NREC's associate director since 1997, will take over as NREC director.
"We'll focus initially on components, building blocks used in a variety of robotic systems," says Bares. "Over time we can aggregate specific (full) systems and sell them ourselves. It's exciting that it's happening in Pittsburgh and with people who've been growing NREC and want to keep it here."
Carnegie Robotics is leasing space initially in NREC's renovated foundry in Lawrenceville with plans to expand in two years.
Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute opened its doors 30 years ago with the dream of ushering in a new age of thinking robots. Under the leadership of Red Whittaker, the Fredkin Professor of Robotics and director of the Field Robotics Center, the NREC has developed commercial applications of mobile robots for companies such as Caterpillar and Consol Energy and successfully created intelligent autonomous vehicles, space-related robots and medical robotics, to name but a few.

Favorite piece of cookware in your kitchen?
- beauxgoris Jun 22, 2009 11:03 AM
Is there one pot, pan or other item you turn to again and again? It need not be fancy - just one you always find yourself reaching for?
For me it's my vintage cast iron deep black skillet with matching cast iron lid. I always leave it on the stove because I seem to use it almost everyday. Because it's deeper than a traditional skillet it works for things (like sauces or large batches of things) that a shallow or traditional skillet might not work for. It's certainly not my "fanciest" piece of cookware - but is the most used and loved.
what about you?
All my cast irons different sizes for different uses, my 10 and my 6" mostly and my 8" saute pan from Target. I couldn't cook without them.
My Santoku knife. It cuts just about everything and it's the one I find myself reaching for the most.
Hmm...I love my knives--10" Sabatier chef's knife, a Chinese cleaver I use from time to time, another 10" chef's knife.
I also love my Microplane grater, which I bought long enough ago that it's the original model.
There's somethign really satisfying about using a well-designed tool!
re: Howard_2
I also got a microplane grater 8 years ago at a garage sale, $1, perfect shape I don't think they ever used it. Brand new looking. Nice heavy duty. I never really do garage sales except for antiques but it was a neighbor so I walked over. She had great expensive kitchen utensils and never used them but I had no room so this was my only purchase.
5 quart enameled dutch oven! soups...stews...braising...sauces...even just making pasta (it holds so well the water returns to a boil quickly after adding pasta)...
re: jaykayen
jaykayen, have you found a pepper grinder that is worthy of love? Every pepper grinder that we ever have used has had colorful language unsuitable for the ears of children directed its way. What kind of pepper grinder is yours?
Hard to choose just one - I love my kitchen but I agree with the Microplane and my Global chef's knife
re: Soop
Microplanes are mini graters based on the planing tools from the woodshop:
To answer the OP's question, it varies considerably. Ancient cast iron pans, inexpensive roasting pan, good knives, steel measuring cup, 40 year old dutch oven, 18" tile for making flatbreads and pizza, the hibachi, $1 tongs, cutting boards, wooden spoons, immersion blender (all things I couldn't live without and use weekly if not daily).
re: Caralien
You sound about like me. My roasting pan was grandmas, although I do admit to owning a very nice large one I use when making 20+ lb turkey or whole leg of lamb and a few other large items. I don't use tiles, but my Walmart pizza stone probably didn't cost much more and 8-10 yrs old and still perfect. I love wooden spoons, immersion absolutely and my grill pan. Nothing fancy, 25 bucks had it for almost 5 years, love it.
I guess I am frugal when it comes to buying kitchen appliances or utensils. But I truly believe the cook is what makes the food, not the resources. I am sure there is other opinions, but this is just mine. No offense to anyone. Quality equipment can make life and cooking easier I am sure, I have just never felt the need to buy any. The nice pieces I have, have all been gifts.
re: kchurchill5
Hah, wooden spoons - I wouldn't have believed I could covet a wooden spoon so much!
re: beauxgoris
Ditto, I have 2 which I love. Couldn't cook without them.
re: Soop
Soop--it's a grater with razor blade sharpness that takes no effort whatsoever. You can even shave the rinds of hard cheeses easily (which becomes a fluffy mound instead of big pieces, half of which are still stuck to the traditional grater). They're very sharp, and I've nicked myself in the kitchen with them because they're so much faster than any other graters I've used.
I thought it was a silly gimmick (I still have my cheap handled grater), but decided to register for a few as wedding gifts. They're wonderful, and sharp enough to grate truffles without bruising them.
re: Caralien
I use mine for very very fine parm or any hard cheese and especially ginger, nutmeg and fruit zests. I love it.
My #8 Griswold skillet and its matching "self basting" lid, my 4 quart All-Clad stainless saucepan, this cool silicon double-headed half flexible, half rigid spatula, and my "Ove Gloves" for both hands. :-)
re: Soop
Microplane and Spider - well, yes a microplane IS just a grater but it is the King of Graters. I came to it pretty slowly because I didn't think it would make such a difference to me. I hate box graters so I went to a paddle and then inevitably to the Microplane and I am still amazed by it each time I use it.
Spider - long handled, woven steel or wire basket ( not really a basket as it is usually flat or only slightly concave) used to retrieve food from cooking oil or boiling water. Usually found in rest. supply or in Asian shops. Tremendously cheap and tremendously useful!
re: Soop
Yes I really liked the paddle grater too and only got to the Microplane when I did have to replace it - unfortunately mine did not stay sharp as long as I'd have hoped, esp as it was only used for parmigiano, citrus zest, etc and I used a rasp for things like hard spices. Not sure why my paddle grater didn't stay sharp but it's early death brought the Microplane and now I love it
My Zojirushi induction rice cooker. If it ever broke, I'd have to run out an buy another one right away.
My Demeyee conical sauteuse. It is about 3 plus quarts, and is of heavy clad construction. I use it nearly every day.
I am with you beauxgoris. It's my cast iron with which I'm in love forever. I am born and bred in the Northeast so cast iron was not something with which I was familiar as are Southern or Midwest cooks. My family heirlooms were cheap enamel covered aluminum from the 1940s. I don't remember why I bought my first cast iron but I do know I didn't know how to care for it. It took me a couple of years to learn about cleaning and seasoning it properly but once I did, I realized what I'd been missing. Now I'm hooked seriously. I recently ditched every piece of teflon and T-fal in favor of mostly naked cast iron and a couple of enamel pieces and have never looked back.
My 11" Vollrath Carbon Steel Wok. It is indespensible, quick sautes of any meats and vegetables,

LISBON, N.D. (AP) - A judge has dismissed a murder case against a North Dakota woman accused of her son's death.
The judge's move came at the request of prosecutors in the case against 30-year-old Jodi Lindvall.
Prosecutors asked for the dismissal after discovering a recording of a witness who questions the identity of the person who battered the boy.
Defense attorney Peter Wold says the recording was provided by the mother of the then 6-year-old girl who was at the home when Lindvall's child was injured in 2012.
Lidvall earlier pleaded not guilty to murder.
Judge Ron Goodman denied the defense's motion to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning that the case could be brought again against the Fort Ransom woman. There's no statute of limitations on murder.

Past half way through project 365!
here's one more…
Project 365, Day 175
I have been shooting a lot of bright, happy images. It was a gloomy stormy day today, so I thought I would try some moody, dark concept shooting. I wanted to portray the concept that no matter how much we try to plan and hold on to what we want, nature has its own ideas.

I am still kicking myself. While I was driving, I saw the most beautiful sunset I have seen in a while. The sun rays were bursting through the clouds, and colors were painted across the sky… Sadly, I did not pull over immediately, and by the time I stopped the car and snapped this shot, the light was just not the same.

People can't get enough of Paul Ryan's soup kitchen photo op! If you haven't already heard from everyone you know with Internet access, Ryan's campaign team "ramrodded" into a soup kitchen and had Ryan pretend to clean an already-cleaned pot for a photo op. Because it's the thought that counts! And for some reason we just can't let this hilarity go.
Look, if it were up to me, he'd just get the side-eye and I'd be moving on. But no. The Internets are tempting me with the most delectable Paul Ryan soup kitchen memes ever, like this one above via Quickmeme.com.
Just Google Image "Paul Ryan Soup Kitchen" and you'll see loads more. That's gotta be so embarrassing for the Ryan kids! Can you imagine the eye-rolling? "Daaaad! Everyone knows you weren't actually doing anything there!"
Admit it, don't you kind of wish Paul Ryan hadn't attempted this back-fire of a photo op?

For the love of Pete. A staged photo op? Really? THAT'S the gripping concern of the news media? Last week it was big bird! This is just getting stupid. Does the media have ANY credibility at this point? Lies on Libya. Gas pricing like liquid gold. Grocery prices are insane! UNemployment is stupid high for record months....but sure....you should TOTALLY be focused on a staged photo op (that ALL the idiots do) and a freakin big bird!! Ok....vent over :)
Mensamamma I was shocked to find out yesterday that the mainstream media is talking about Libya like its breaking news. Sad that this is new news to these people.
now that the director admits ryan did wash dishes...dirty ones....im sure velez is still searching google again.....this time for:i believed cause i wanted too and now i look silly and childish
Brian J. Antal, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society, said that he was not contacted by the Romney campaign ahead of the Saturday morning visit by Ryan, who stopped by the soup kitchen after a town hall at Youngstown State University.
"We're a faith-based organization; we are apolitical because the majority of our funding is from private donations," Antal said in a phone interview Monday afternoon. "It's strictly in our bylaws not to do it. They showed up there, and they did not have permission. They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors."
Antal said "If this was the Democrats, I'd have the same exact problem."
He added that the incident had caused him "all kinds of grief" and that regardless of whether Ryan had intended to serve food to patrons or wash dishes, he would not have allowed the visit to take place.
"Had they asked for permission, it wouldn't have been granted. … But I certainly wouldn't have let him wash clean pans, and then take a picture," Antal said.
