Learning to grin again
Morgan Perron was only 7 years old when she lost her grandmother to breast cancer. Over the next few years, she also lost two other grandparents. She was close to these family members and had difficulty expressing the range of emotions swirling inside of her.
"I felt very sad, but also confused because I couldn't process the finality of what was taking place," Morgan said. "It was very difficult to express how I felt, mainly because I didn't understand all that I was feeling or know how to verbalize the emotions that I was experiencing."
She enrolled with her family in the Building Bridges program, a fall and spring grief support program, in 2005 and then attended Camp Grin Again, hospice's summer grief support camp.
Hospice of Wichita Falls has encouraged kids to freely express their feelings of grief at these programs for more than eight years. Hospice will offer Camp Grin Again from 9 a.m. to noon June 18-22 at First Assembly of God, 3101 McNiel.
Kindergartners through eighth graders who have suffered a loss through the death of a loved one are invited to attend the one-week camp. Games, sports, art and singing are centered around grief-related issues. Children are divided into age groups and engage in special activities like a magician performance, balloon artist and horseback rides at Whispers of Hope.
Morgan, now 16 and a junior in high school, gained so much confidence and knowledge of the grief process from Camp Grin Again that she volunteers to "give back" what she received.
"Being able to work as a volunteer with these hospice programs is very important to me," she said. "This is a way for me to give back and show my appreciation for Hospice of Wichita Falls and to those that have helped me. To think that I might be able to help, support or encourage someone else through their grieving process or a difficult time in their life means so much to me."
Margory Smith, a licensed professional counselor at Hospice of Wichita Falls and coordinator of Building Bridges and Camp Grin Again, said she usually encourages kids to wait until about two months after the death of a loved one to enter either of the programs. It takes time, she said, for the death to become a reality.
"Kids process differently than adults," Smith said. "They grieve, then they play, then they grieve, then they play again. So we try to make Camp Grin Again as fun as possible."
The most fun — and creative — way to help kids navigate the grief process is through hands-on art projects.
"This year the focus is on the upside of grief," Smith said. "The kids will make a 3D piece of art that includes the trail of trust, the mountain of memories and field of feelings. There will be peaks and valleys, but they will make it to the top where they can feel better."
Morgan volunteers mainly with the younger kids through arts and crafts.
"We will help the kids open up and be able to express their feelings of loss and help them work though the grieving process."
Through all the fun and activities, kids at Camp Grin Again learn the most important lesson of all — that they're not alone.
"It's the connection they make with each other," Smith said.
That connection helped Morgan get through her pain and she knows it can help others.
"Camp Grin Again helps kids realize that they are not alone in their grief," she said. "Being around others who have lost loved ones allows you to open up and share your feelings."
Smith remembered one session where two children had loved ones who committed suicide. One child wouldn't open up at all until the child next to them started talking about his dad. It got them both talking about their feelings.
Tricia Golding, marketing and events coordinator at Hospice of Wichita Falls, said Camp Grin Again is an important tool in hospice's mission to reach out to the community.
"Being the nonprofit hospice in town, donations allow us to give back to the community with grief support programs," Golding said. "It's open to all families and children and you don't have to be a hospice family."
All grief support programs are free to the public. For more information about Building Bridges or Camp Grin Again, call Hospice of Wichita Falls at 691-0982.

A 2nd term to save the middle class
Obama steps into his second inaugural with a vow to turn around the decline of America's middle. But that promise is already in peril.
President Barack Obama, who said his "one mandate" in a second term was to help middle class families, takes the oath of office with many barriers to raising most Americans' living standards.
Most Americans started this year with a cut in take-home pay as Congress let a temporary 2-percentage-point reduction in payroll taxes expire. Workers' leverage to gain wage increases will be limited for years by competition from the swollen ranks of jobless Americans as forecasters expect the unemployment rate to remain at or above 7% through 2014.
Even with bright spots such as signs of strength in housing and an energy boom that's lowering fuel costs for manufacturers, forecasters predict a slower expansion as federal tax increases and spending cuts crimp growth and demand for exports drops with a weakening global economy. While the U.S. economy advanced at a 3.1% rate in the third quarter, growth of just 2% is seen this year, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
At the same time, Obama faces united Republican opposition to his agenda and pressure to slash federal spending.
"The president is still fundamentally on the defensive," said Damon Silvers, policy director for the AFL-CIO labor federation. "His fundamental task is to avoid being forced into austerity measures that will hurt the economic recovery or the capacity of our government to serve the people."
Falling incomes
Obama was confronted in his first term with an inherited recession that drove down most Americans' incomes. His second term starts with a fight to merely hold the line against the Republican House majority's push to cut benefits in entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security that many Americans rely on.
Looming battles over the budget, the legal debt limit and a round of automatic spending cuts scheduled for the end of February restrict Obama's leeway for other priorities, such as boosting infrastructure spending to stimulate economic growth.
The pieces of his economic agenda most likely to raise middle class living standards in the near term are "the parts that look like they're not going anywhere," said Larry Katz, a labor economics professor at Harvard University. These include plans for an infrastructure bank and tax breaks for new hires.
"Left by itself," Katz said, the economic recovery is likely to continue generating "tepid, small improvements" in middle-income workers' living standards "but not enough to really offset the poor performance since the late 1990s."
Long erosion
Middle class U.S. workers -- defined by one measure as households with annual incomes within 50% of the national median, or between about $25,700 and $77,000 -- have faced a four-decade-long erosion of living standards. It was interrupted by a rare period of rising earning power during the fast-growing economy of President Bill Clinton's second term, Katz said.
Real median household income soared to $54,932 in 1999 from $50,661 in 1996 based on constant 2011 dollars, an all-time high since the U.S. Census began reporting the data in 1967.
By contrast, median household income in November 2012 was $51,310 -- $3,850 lower than when Obama took office in January 2009, according to an analysis of census data by Sentier Research, an economic-consulting firm in Annapolis, Md.
In Clinton's second term, gross domestic product grew at an average 4.3% rate and the unemployment rate averaged 4.4%. That created a tight labor market, which provided workers leverage to press for higher wages.
Minimum wage
Clinton also won congressional passage of a two-step increase in the minimum wage, which took effect in 1996 and 1997, creating additional upward pressure on pay; the federal minimum wage hasn't gone up since 2009, when the final step of a wage increase signed by President George W. Bush took effect.
The gains of the late-1990s are eclipsed by decades of downward pressure on pay.
Median wages for men between 25 and 64 dropped 19% - - to $34,000 a year -- from 1971 to 2011, after accounting for inflation, according to an analysis by Michael Greenstone, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology economics professor and director of the Hamilton Project, a Washington research group affiliated with the Brookings Institution.
The impact of the decades-long slide in wages was initially cushioned in many families by the increasing number of women who went to work, and later by the home equity that families borrowed against during the run-up in housing prices before the real estate bubble burst.
More from Bloomberg:
Stand with Republicans desire to END Social Security and Medicare by declining your Social Security and MC.
SS/MC are social safety net programs that a conservative like you despises, unless you benefit from it, then social welfare programs are A-OK, when it's you using them.
Since Repubs want to end SS/MC, decline your SS/MC benefits. Let's see how well you fare.
It is his plan to destroy the middle class . Break our backs by taxing us to death , destroy property values . Have the employers reduce hours & wages to save the company and there employees from financial ruin and jack the cost of living to the moon.
Now we have to get back to work ! Millions on welfare depend on us !
Tomorrow is a triple header day for the Jerry Springer worshipers of the world !
God save us .....
I need not say anymore.
Save it?? What the hell does that mean?? He spent his first 4 years destroying it. Is this just in case it does survive and he can take the credit? And the Sheeple have so much koolaid in their systems that has short-circuted their memories that they will fall for it like a bunch of lemmings off a cliff.
Elderly Republican VOTERS can show their support for the GOP's desire to end SS/MC by REFUSING/DECLINING their Social security and Medicare.
Show solidarity with ALL elected Rethugs by declining your SS/MC.
Why do Republicans want to keep our good paying jobs over in China? Are they more loyal to China than America? yes.
End job outsourcing + a $15 an hour minimum wage = a roaring American economy and balanced budgets.
Low wages, anything below $15 an hour in today's dollars.
Republicanism foisting Mussolini's economic system of pro-corporate Fascism
Anti-unionism and union-busting which is a wage killer
Corporate personhood and corporations.
Unaffordable for-profit health care(mostly corporate) and prescription meds. (HC is the #1 reason for bankruptcy in the U.S.)
For-profit gasoline.(Hugo Chavez's state gasoline in Venezuela costs 25 cents per gallon at the pump in U.S. dollars)
High rents and mortgages
Placing the burden of taxation on the middle class and poor so that wealthy can enjoy near tax-free living.
For-profit energy, heat, utilities.
For-profit banking and charging interest on things like home loans.
Change it, or our future is a very dead future. Low birth rates are killing us.
Republicans blame Obama for his work on a weak economy which they started. The GOP hasn't lifted one finger (besides giving us the high sign) to help the economy. If this type of obstruction doesn't stop then the middle class might be doomed. I'm confident we will survive , the problem is it's going to take some time.

Communities for Public Education Reform (CPER) is a is a national funder collaborative that supports grassroots community-driven efforts working to guarantee educational excellence, equity and opportunity. CPER is a project of Public Interest Projects (PIP), a 501(c)(3) public charity.
Launched in 2007, CPER has raised and invested $34M from 76 national and local member donors, supporting 140 grassroots groups in six sites (California, Chicago, Colorado, Mississippi, New Jersey and Southeastern Pennsylvania) and in national coalitions. In each locale, CPER supports a network of grassroots, community-based organizations who work in alliance with local funders and advocacy, research and litigation partners to advance equity and excellence-driven reforms.
Through direct grants, capacity building, convening, and research and evaluation, CPER helps to build sustainable local leadership that is capable of challenging the policy, practice and power relations that have institutionalized grossly inequitable opportunities and outcomes for students of color. Grantee partners advance campaigns addressing teaching quality, school financing, school climate, disciplinary policy, democratic school governance, social supports, extended learning time, charter accountability and equitable access to higher education.
Initially envisioned as a three-year initiative, CPER will sunset at the close of 2014 after eight powerful years, having substantially exceeded its anticipated lifespan and fundraising goals.

Roles and Strategies
CPER pursues an array of strategies in seeking to strengthen the education organizing field and to build a movement for educational justice. In carrying out these strategies, we play a variety of roles:
Investor: CPER provides long-term, flexible direct grants, capacity and leadership supports to groups who pursue multiple issue-focused campaigns identified and driven by engaged communities.
Broker: CPER incentivizes, aligns, and leverages the funding of local and national donors through matching funds and pooling resources.
Connector: CPER enhances relationship building, trust, issue alignment, and the sharing of best practices through convenings, learning communities, site exchanges, and coordinated work across groups within supported sites.
Learner: CPER supports qualitative research and evaluation of the Fund's activities and campaigns pursued; the development of movement building evaluation tools; and policy research to inform grassroots campaigns.
Influencer: CPER builds alignment of key stakeholders through donor briefings, work with teacher unions, and engagement of education scholars.
The above funder roles are identified in "Many Hands, More Impact: Philanthropy's Role in Supporting Movements," Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, "Scaling What Works" Initiative. CPER's specific strategies and activities are described in more detail below.
CPER allocates over 80% of its resources to direct grants. Nearly all CPER grantees have received sustained support over multiple years. Funding is flexible and responsive to grantees' identified priotires for campiagns that have salience and traction in their schools, districts and state.

Capacity Building
CPER provides partners with a range of tailored capacity, TA, and peer learning supports, all driven by grantees' organizational and campaign needs. In 2013 alone, CPER provided $650K in supplemental capacity supports across the network, building strength in strategic communications, fundraising, issue analysis, leadership development and organizational infrastructure. CPER's complementary "rapid response" supports allow groups to seize real-time opportunities for advancing campaigns. Staff work closely with grantees to ascertain needs, identify training opportunities and providers, and facilitate peer learning exchange.

Click here for CPER's Capacity Building Initiative model.
CPER regularly convenes groups across regions and issue areas to share best practice, devise joint campaigns, and build sustainable partnerships. Through issue-focused Learning Communities, grantees acquire research knowledge and strategy development skills to strengthen pursued policy campaigns. Through cross site visits, grantees see successful school models and programs for adoption and replication. Through annual national conferences, hundreds of grassroots and advocacy groups, education scholars, and leading funders gather together for shared vision and strategy-making.

Click here for CPER's "Effective Teaching Practice" Learning Community Report.
CPER provides research, evaluation, and TA to help supported groups track change in individuals, communities, and education policy and practice. CPER's 2013 "Getting to Outcomes" Guide provides funders and grassroots groups with a theory of change for how education organizing works, and a set of indicators, measures and data sources through which to gauge success. CPER's "Building a Movement for Educational Justice" documentary showcases stories of success.
Getting to Outcomes
As parents, youth, and allied community members collaboratively campaign for equity-focused education reform, they develop individual and community leadership and power — capacities critical to building a civic infrastructure and a genuinely participatory democracy. This work is difficult and slow-going; it requires smarts, skills, and stamina. How can we know that we are making a difference? What combination of strategies and competencies enable the results we seek? And how do we best capture outcomes in the multiple realms touched upon by community organizing campaigns — change in individuals, communities, and education policy and practice? Produced in partnership with Research for Action, "Getting to Outcomes, A User's Guide" provides funders and grassroots groups with a theory of change for how education organizing works, and a set of possible indicators, measures and data sources through which to gauge success.
Click here, or on the image, to access the "Getting to Outcomes" publication by CPER and Research for Action.
To help grantees apply the Getting to Outcomes conceptual framework to their own work, thus strengthening their ability to track and communicate their accomplishments to funders and other stakeholders, CPER provided evaluation-focused capacity building trainings, led by Guide authors Eva Gold and Elaine Simon.

Brunswick Hospital doors closed but not forgotten
The news that Brunswick Hospital Center specifically, and New York state in general, will not provide care and housing for some of the victims of Hurricane Katrina was disappointing in that many looked forward to being able to roll up their sleeves and help out.

I think I like the last one the most, it looks more coherent. The border is really nice too!
And… feel better, Ney
Thanks very much KenG.
I think I like the last one the most, it looks more coherent. The border is really nice too!
And… feel better, Ney
Thanks Lingon. Been dosing up on DayQuil and vitamins, so hopefully I'll be able to kick this soon...
I've been flipping back and forth through the different versions of the desert and I was leaning more towards the desaturated version, but still wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for letting me know which one you like best. I think that's decided then...desaturated it is!
Good choice! I love how this is coming along!
Th last version (dark/desaturated) fits the map dark feeling better imho. Also I would work on the too saturated blue of the rivers aswell. As for the borders they're nice but I would work the cartouche with some similar elemnts for the sake of consistency.
Caenwyr - Thanks so much! And thanks for the suggestion to change the desert!
Max - Thanks for the advice on the cartouche! You're right, it doesn't fit with the border at all. I'll change that! The rivers are just placeholders right now...they'll look completely different when I do the final, proper version, and they definitely won't be a bright blue like what you see now. I think I'm pretty close to finishing the terrain, so the rivers will be coming up soon.
Okay, latest update:
* Edited the border a bit
* Changed the title text and cartouche
* Added icons and a Legend
* Finished all the roads and paths
* Did a little bit more texture work on the terrain (upper-left barren region, and the southern swampy region)
I'm sure I'll make some more minor edits/changes before it's all completely done, but I think I'm going to call the terrain finished now, so I can move on to the rivers and lava next.
EDIT: This version is slightly larger (50% resolution) than what I've been previously posting.

I like your cartouches & borders on this last one!
Thanks Ilanthar!
Here's the rivers/lakes done. Still not entirely sure how I want to do the lava...
EDIT: Just realized I forgot to do the rivers at the bottom. Urgh! I need to get some sleep...I always make stupid mistakes when I'm tired.

This guy was really tough for me because my theoretical best pet against him -- my Clockwork Gnome -- would get massacred before I could launch off more than one Rocket. I finally beat him with an Effervescent Glowfly, Dragon Kite and a Magical Crawdad. It took several tries with this team, but the time I finally beat him I won having used the glowfly and kite alone.Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

Blue Blood by Carmen M. Pursifull
Appearances may deceive
even the discerning.
No matter what your station
blood runs red in your veins.
So where did this legend
Of Nobility come from
& the shade of Royal Blue?
What to Social Registers
contribute to the tincture
of blood? Noblemen do not
refract Sunlight & dire
circumstances can place one
in a salt-water coffin.
It is the Ocean's currents
which cloud its waters with matter
& metals changed to ion.
So depth alone cannot determine
the turbidity which affects
Light's spectrum. Salt water
slowly decomposes all substances
& what are we who once
crawled from the sea.
No we ride in capsules
& breathe cleansed Earth's atmosphere.
Confinement in submersibles
can try the best of men..
Space is that precious
preventative of claustrophobia
for some humans.
Air is a prerequisite for all mammals..
& what of depth's pressures
crushing body forms & hulls alike.
Strained compressions
seek entrance with compelling force
to reclaim its airborne offspring.
what of divers who suffer
cuts at water's depths
bleeding blue from wounds
deceiving even the discerning.
Carmen M. Pursifull

Double R Ranch
Clasped between Saguaro National Park and the Ironwood Preserve, Double R Ranch appears as though it were plucked straight from the frames of an old Western movie. The windswept grounds stand as a gateway to the thousands of untouched acres that quietly stitch together the Northwest side of Tucson. The ranch gives visitors a chance to explore that land with horseback rides and birthday parties. It also offers weekend getaways and RV hookups to city-dwellers in need of an escape from the crowds and door-to-door minivan salesmen that come with urban living. Double R also accommodates guests who have their own horses with overnight stabling services.

Programming as a Foreign Language
In both high school and college, I took several French courses. But I've never been to France. I've never been immersed into a French-speaking context, and therefore, I never achieved fluency in French. Decades later, I can still pick out French words, I can still understand phrases and sentences, and express a few ideas, but for the most part, my knowledge of the French language faded very quickly, and almost entirely when I stopped studying.
A few years after college, I started learning another language. This language was for computers, and it's called Java. I read Java for Dummies, which I found at Barnes and Noble. I got to the point where I could make the compiler happy, and I could make widgets appear on the screen. But due to the purely independent nature of my studying, I was never immersed in the Java-speaking context. I never got over the hump and achieved fluency.
A year later, I started learning another programming language. It's called Perl. I was working at "dot-com" startup as a HTML and content editor, and was handed The Camel Book by the company's CEO when he effectivey told me to learn Perl or lose my job. I got to the point where I could print stuff onto the screen and execute programs. And then the CEO and CTO gave me fake CGI projects to work on in my spare time. When I quickly cranked those scripts out, they started giving me bugs to fix in the main product. I had no clue what to do next, so I asked the CTO for help. The CTO gave me a quick lesson on debugging, but I was still at a loss for how to fix bugs in our product code.
I had learned French and Java, but I'd never been immersed in them. I had now learned Perl, and the opportunity to immerse myself into a Perl-speaking context was available to me. I asked if I could move my desk to where the programmers worked. The people I'd been sitting near were talkative, energetic, and the space was bright. The developers kept their workspace dark, and they were intimidating to me. But I couldn't think of any other way forward than to immerse myself into their land of Perl.
A few months later, I was fixing bugs. A few months after that, I was at another company writing more complex scripts. All along the way I was surrounded by people who were fluent in Perl. A year later, I was fluent in Perl. Two years later I was fluent in Java and Ruby.
Just as with spoken languages, achieving fluency in a programming language requires immersion. Once fluency is achieved, similar languages become much more accessible. Learning a new language in a non-immersive environment will give you concepts, syntax, rules, and trivia, but you will not achieve fluency, which in programming languages gives you the power to craft original solutions to arbitrary problems.
Non-immsersive learning is great, but it's only a stepping stone to fluency. Codecademy and Treehouse are great examples of non-immersive learning environments for JavaScript. Code Academy and Dev Bootcamp are great examples of immersive environments that lead people to fluency in Rails. That said, both of these immersive programs are too short a time to achieve fluency for people who are completely new to programming.
Remarkably, though, I've seen graduates of both programs creating immersive environments for themselves in Chicago. I've seen small groups of Code Academy students join up to continue coding together on a regular/continual basis. I've seen people literally eat/breathe Ruby on Tuesdays, when you can participate in Code & Coffee (at Starbucks, free wifi) from 7am-9am, then Geekfest (free lunch, open to public) from 12pm-1pm, then Chicago Ruby (free dinner, open to public) in the evening. I've seen people diligently stay immersed over the course of months and then transition into various apprenticeship programs around the city, which eventually lead to full-time employment opportunities.
A great example of this transition is Jean Bahnik. Jean is a marketing executive turned Trunk Club apprentice, who also happens to be fluent in French.

Just beautiful!
The view from this unit is incredible! Condo is well-equipped for beachy vacation. Owners are responsive and friendly. Nick happened to be there on arrival day and helped bring up some things to the condo. Very nice pool! Will be back same time next year and hopefully for two weeks!
A great place to stay at a great beach
I don't know what else to add that has not already been stated in other reviews. It is a really nice and well maintained town home. I was pleasantly surprised with how close it was to the ocean. It was closer than what I perceived from the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped. The check in and out was simple. The owner Ken was easy to work with. I would for sure look into using this property again.
Best Reunion Ever
Our family (my husband and I , 6 kids and 17 grandchildren) so look forward to our reunions because we are scattered in 6 different states and getting everyone together doesn't happen easily. I was a little concerned with planning this last get together because we now have lots of teenagers (14) who are a little harder to entertain than the younger children but this house and it's location did it. The beach was so private that we had no worries about them disturbing others as they rode and surfed the huge waves. Then at night we hardly saw them as they kept busy with the pool, the sauna, the ping pong table, and the pool table. As for the adults the beach was perfect for long walks both day and evening and the house left nothing to be desired ( well equipped kitchen, enough beds for all, and extremely clean). We couldn't get over the fact that even though the house is not "on the beach" when sitting on the decks or even looking out the windows it felt like we were. On the day of departure the term I heard over and over was "Best reunion ever". Thank you Mike and Suzanne for the use of your beautiful home for our family reunion.

REED POP: Special Edition NYC 2014 – Comics Buy Sell Trade Event – Recap
This past weekend I attended REED POP's very first Special Edition NYC 2014 an intimate buy sell trade event geared towards the idea of bringing together the comic collector the comic seller and the comic artist. Special Edition NYC 2014 was held in the artist alley of the Javits center similar to what was going on in NYCC last year. If you are thinking cool this sounds like a smaller version of NY Comic Con you are mistaken. This wasn't a costume contest there weren't any scantily clad little girls hopping around for photos ops (though some people obviously didn't get that memo).
While yes those things do make an amusing NY and San Diego Comic Con, here at Special Edition NYC you saw (I mean really saw) the regular collectors-a more mature crowd ready to buy.
What was the best part about Special Edition NYC 2014? besides all the comic books? even more comic books graphic novels!

Queens Pizza Crawl Findings
Intrigued by recent posts here regarding queens pizza preferences, i've been doing slow and steady research on the borough's pizza. After trying a regular slice from over 30 different queens pizzerias, i've come to my conclusions. In general, I was sorely disappointed in the quality of the averge pizza place slice. More often than not, the ingredients seemed low quality. Cheese too often was tasteless and sauce was too sweet, not to mention crust underdone. So, I agree with the many posters who lament the decline of your average nyc slice. Still, I found my favorites.
My findings were based on walking in and ordering a single regular slice. Sometimes they heated it up, sometimes they didn't. Sometimes they overheated it. Sometimes they didn't. But what I was looking for was a walk in slice, not a sicilian, not a pie. Just a slice.
To my surprise, my top three were (in order):
1) Peppino's in Woodside, 39-63 61st St. The pizza makers are Italian and do a great job. A perfect crust, sauce a bit tomatoey and cheese pretty tasty. And they even have a two slice/drink special for $3.75. Great old school pizza, like NY in the 70's and 80's. They also make a killer grandma slice, the best i've ever had anywhere. This is still pizza that tastes like pizza and not plastic mozzarella on sugary sauce.
2) Amore's in Flushing, Pathmark Shopping Center. A great old school slice, sauce a bit sweet, crust very thin, but really tasty. And the slices are always fresh, never reheated.
3) Gino's, Howard Beach, 15846 Crossbay. A good solid slice, although I would have liked a bit more flavor from the cheese and a bit less char on the crust.
Those were my favorites. I also found neighborhood fav's. The best slice I found in Jackson Heights was Catinella Pizza at 9502 37th Ave, although it lacked any real punch. I liked John's in Astoria on Astoria Blvd and Crescent but I don't think I'd go back just for the food.
And I had a lot of disappointments: I found Maspeth's offering (Rosa's and Joey's/Caruana's) bland. Astoria has a lot of well regarded slices (Sac's, Rizzo's, Polito's, Rosario's to mention a few), but none of them impressed me. Jackson Heights has loads of forgettable slices (Taste of Italy, La Cancha, Gianni's, Gustosa, Pizza Sam, Thomas's), and a few good pies (Pizza Sam and Cabana), but nothing really memorable. Gino's on Bway in Elmhurst was also unremarkable. I was not inspired to return to D'Aleo's in Elmont, either. Despite rave reviews, D'Aleo's tasted like cheap, average, boring pizza to me. And VIPizza in Bayside wasn't any more memorable. Nor was Dedona's in Woodside. New Park in Howard Beach was a contender, but the slice I tasted had a slightly underdone, doughy crust and the sauce lacked punch. Still, I'd rank New Park number four after my top three. I'm aware that some of these places have been lauded for their sicilian and grandma slices, but those were outside of my testing parameters. (Although I did try Rosa's grandma slice in Maspeth and thought that it paled in comparison to Peppino's in Woodside.)
I only sampled pies at a few places, and of those, Nick's in Forest Hills was the clear winner. In fact, I still think Nick's is the best overall pizza in Queens, but damnit, they don't sell slices. So, they're off my top three list.
When I eat my way through the next 30 Queens pizza places, I'll post an update.
Nice post, Joe. You are a die hard with an iron will.
The whole Queens pizza question reminds me of something that a long-ago co-worker, a guy named Tommy from Bay Ridge, once said to me: "You can't find a decent slice of pizza in Queens". I have to admit, it stuck in my craw. So it's good to see someone like yourself fighting the good fight, perhaps a losing battle, yes, but a worthy one nonetheless.
I'm wondering if you have ever tried the sicilian slice at Rose and Joe's Bakery in Astoria? Perhaps, because this place is not an actual pizzeria - their sicilian being the only type of pizza they serve, this place has gotten scant mention on this board. For my money, though, they serve up a slice that is worthy of your short list.
I realize, too, that my love for the thin, crispy sweet oregano laced slice at Dani's House of Pizza in Kew Gardens, puts me in a decided minority (this tends to be a pretty polarizing joint - people either love it or hate it), but, next to Rose and Joe's, and, maybe New Park, it ranks right up there for me.
Now, if Mr. Demarco were to set up shop somewhere near, say, Rego Park or Corona, we'd be right back in the game, and my old Bay Ridge co-worker would have to eat his words, sprinkled with parmegan cheese. Like if the Knicks had ever traded for Michael Jordan back in the day. Same thing.
I had a slice and a coke at Amore a few hours ago and as always it was satisfying. They seem to avoid the reheating of slices by making pies, putting them on a rack next to the oven and then cooking them as people come in the door. I am usually there at busy times and always get a fresh slice. One thing that they do thatI have never seen before is that they place the pies on top of a metal screen and then put both in the oven. I happen to ask Andy why they do that and he said it keeps the pies from burning.Very odd, but they certainly produce a terrific slice.
Good to see that Peppino's get's high marks. It's my local pizzeria, and I get slices and delivery from there often. The only thing I want to mention is that I've had slices there range from exceptional to pretty mediocre (though it's mostly above average), depending on any number of factors. I guess the lesson is that I find it difficult to make a final determination, especially on a single visit to any place. I hope you revisit some of the places you've already visited and continue to report the results.
Thanks for your very message. I've been to Peppino's many times (usually around 2PM) for a slice and it never had to be reheated (still warm and fresh). Always so good and yes it reminds me of pizza from years back. Will try the Grandma's next visit. I've been to Nick's once and it was beyond awesome. Plan to return soon. Like you said, sure wish they had slices. Imagine if Nick's opened a branch here in Jackson Heights that sold slices. It would wipe out all the others and who would care. In the meantime, I'll walk the 16 blocks to Peppino's and afterwards shop in the neighborhood.
There's a place that looks new-ish on 23rd ave under the train called Michael & Angelo's that says they have a thin slice. Did you try that one in your hunt? It's in the greek area, so it may not amount to much, but at least there's another Astoria possibility for a good slice! Thanks for your perseverence, joe!
great post, joe. you're absolutely right that some places are known for their sicilian/grandma slices rather than their regular ones (e.g. rosa's, sac's, rizzo's) and so i think those places ought to be considered in a separate category. agreed with the overall assessment, though, that the state of the "standard" slice in queens is not that great these days.
re: surly
sorry to be off topic, but i have a question for surly...ive read your other postings and love the thoroughness : ) have you ever posted a definitive list of your favorite korean spots in flushing and/or NJ? I have Manhattan figured out but I'm tired of trial and error in Qns and NJ, lol.....nuff respect
re: missinfo
missinfo, hopefully you get this msg since the moderators quickly delete anything that's off-topic. but no, i haven't posted a complete rundown of korean joints for queens or northern nj, mainly because i've been so disappointed for the most part. in other words, it's not worth it for me to comment on a place was "good for the area but not destination-worthy", so to speak.
i always eat out in both korean enclaves, though and have taken note of all the new places that have opened up (and there are a LOT of them in both flushing and nj) - now it's just a matter to getting to as many of these as possible, which shouldn't be hard, since i can eat korean food much more often than other cuisines.
thanks for the props. i'll post something more thorough after eating at some of the newish places.
Give New Park Pizza another chance . That place churns out pizza like crazy .I rarely see them heat up a slice. You must get the slice well done .
Having lived in Howard Beach, I agree with you about New Park. I have never liked their crust. But OH did we LOVE Gino's. That pie was a miracle. My elementary school used to order pies for pizza parties from there. The mini pie at Gino's are great, especially prosciutto, baby arugula and shaved parmagianno. Along with their special salad, mini pie is a great lunch or light dinner for two.
Your too funny MM .I think Gino's is a good slice also, but a little too pricy for certain dishes.
Gino's is great. There are a whole bunch but I tend to like the ones in Flushing on Kissena across from Queens College and the one in Bayside on Springfield Blvd. I also have a very fond soft spot for Lucia's in Flushing on Roosevelt Ave.

Almost two months into this NBA season, it has become exceedingly clear just how important the Denver Nuggets bench has been to the team's relative success. The starting lineup has frequently struggled, especially in first quarters, and the second unit has come to their rescue all too often.
In my recent post on Wilson Chandler, I compared his net efficiency with that of Timofey Mozgov, suggesting that Timo was, and Wilson wasn't making a big impact. In the comments section, a Roundball Mining Company reader correctly pointed out that it might not be fair to compare a starter with a bench player, given the discrepancy in the caliber of players they're going up against.
So to follow up on this notion, I used statistics from NBAwowy.com to put together the following chart: (more…)
As the Nuggets got off to a rocky start to begin the season, it was hoped that help would be on the way in the form of Wilson Chandler when he returned to play after missing their first six games due to a hamstring injury. And while he has made helpful contributions to an extent, he has clearly fallen short of making the impact many Nuggets fans were hoping for.
For starters, his impact on the court versus off has been essentially neutral. Consider, for example, the discrepancy between Chandler and Mozgov in this regard: (more…)
The Denver Nuggets are now 11 games into the season, and with just five wins under their belt they will be trying to get back up to .500 tomorrow against Dallas.
This is a small sample of games – certainly not significant enough to project what will happen in the latter half of the season, especially considering the fact that the team is adjusting to a new system and missing two of its best players in Danilo Gallinari and JaVale McGee. It is enough, however, to see a picture emerging of how things have gone for Denver so far, and what they might be able to do to improve.
Here we will take a statistical snapshot of where the Nuggets are at now, as well as what they're doing differently (and – spoiler alert – mostly worse) than last season. This post will focus on Denver's team offense, so look for more analysis on team defense and individual player performance in future Data Mining installments. (more…)

Why History?
The past surrounds us with its impacts, its traces, and its complexity. To understand who we are and how we got here as a society, as a culture, and as a country, history provides explanations. Those who study history do so for a variety of reasons—to understand ourselves and the world we live in, to explain the tragedies and the triumphs of our times and of past times, to grasp the present, and to prepare for the future. Studying history is also fun, since real people and their actions are often stranger than fiction.
Historians undertake their research and analyses from distinctive perspectives. Thinking like a historian helps train the mind to embrace the complex world we live in. As historians research, analyze, and produce their interpretations of the past, they hone the mental skills useful for contemporary living. Using the documents produced in the past, we interrogate such sources with analytical questions like: what is the context for this? What does it really say? What were the motives for creating the document? Is this a unique situation or is this representative of humans elsewhere? How to construct an argument out of those findings to prove our conclusions? Using such methods of analysis contribute to training the mind to think critically and creatively. So apart from learning about the past, studying history helps create an educated citizenry, people who can think for themselves.
Why pursue the past? Ultimately, for some people, studying history scratches that itch of the past. We wonder about who did what to whom and why, how something was invented or a place discovered, or what happened when different groups of people came together in war or peace. Sometimes, that itch is just a desire to find out about local history, about the people, places, and events of the community and region we live in. Studying history engages our curiosity about the world around us, past and present, and challenges us to think analytically and to wonder about other peoples and other times.
A final utility of History is that it trains learners for future employment. From teaching in a classroom to assembling a history exhibit, from documenting the current actions of government or organizations to researching the past at a National Park, historians find employment in schools, museums, historic sites, and heritage agencies. Additionally, studying the past trains us in the liberal arts tradition of researching, analyzing, and writing, skills vital for many jobs in today's world. We believe that part of our mission is to train people to think for themselves to prepare them for the complex world we live, work, and play in.

While we're on the topic of Transmog, I have a question for my fellow
I've been trying to piece together a white Mog set for my Rogue, and
it's coming along pretty well so far. But I'm really struggling to
find any decent shoulders. The Boneshredder Shoulderguards from the
Hellfire dungeons fit the set, but they don't look great.
I figured here would be a good place to ask for help :)
Any ideas?
White leather is indeed hard to come by.
There's the Ghostwalker set, which is very close to the Boneshredder set.
I just found some today!
I made sure to make note of them because they are pretty unique.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I knew the lovely folks here would come through ;)
@Shinae, they're brilliant! Similar style to the Boneshredder shoulders, but a slightly nicer shape :)
@Luci, they are nice, but a little too grand for the look I'm going for with this set. Will definitely have to go farm them at some point though!
AidyTM: If it's not too late, I thought I'd mention the Splinthide Shoulders, which I found while looking for shoulders to go with the Frostsaber armor: http://www.wowhead.com/item=11685.
The screenshot there is greenish, but some commenters were saying that that's just the lighting. They're off one of the Ring of Law bosses in BRD. Might be worth a look.
