Have another costume safety tip? We'd love to hear it! Share it with us below.
Halloween is all about fun, right?
But there's something else you need to remember.
Safety starts with being smart about the costume.
First off, make sure it's the right size so little ones don't trip and fall.
"You wanna make sure it's not too big so it doesn't drag the floor. If it's a cape or some type of veil, like if you wanted to go as a bride or something like that you wouldn't want to trip over that as well. Basically you just want to make sure that the costume is just the right length for your child."
Try not to use masks, which can obstruct a child's vision.
Use kid-friendly makeup instead.
"It's all gonna be non-toxic and it washes off easily with soap and water and it's a great alternative to masks."
"But if they do choose a mask, make sure it provides adequate ventilation and the eyeholes are large enough to allow full range of vision."
Any accessories, such as swords, wands or wings should be soft, flexible and not too big for the child.
"No big wings!"
"Different costumes will actually come with different props and the props that those come with are usually foam or plastic. So it really ensures safety."
When purchasing costumes, wigs, or masks remember to look for flame resistant fabrics such as polyester or nylon and check for warning labels.
Finally, you should decorate or trim costumes and bags with reflective tape that will glow in the beam of a car's headlights or use an alternative.
"One prop that comes highly recommended for most costume stores, a flashing light to keep your kid safe and visible on Halloween night."
And for those expecting trick-or-treaters on Halloween, keep candles and jack-o-lanterns away from doorways or anyplace costumes could catch the flame.

Way before the Sex Pistols came up with 'Anarchy in the U.K.' Australia had its own band of anarchists working throughout the 1890s to undermine the political landscape. This hand-carved woodcut is a genuine slice of subversive Australian history and was used to produce the cover of the 'Handbook of Anarchy', published by John Arthur Andrews in July 1894.
The 1890s was a period of great social unrest with the country caught firmly in the grip of both a drought and a depression which forced many out of work. In October 1891 a new conservative government was elected and Andrews blamed it, and the wealthy bankers, for many of the country's woes in a radical new publication entitled 'Anarchy' a which like the later 'handbook' hand cut-out wooden plates made by Andrews.
In July 1892 the 'Broken Hill Strike' began and police and armed troops were used move non-strike labour into the mines. Waltzing Matilda was penned by Banjo Patterson in the wake of the events on Dagworth station during the shearing strike of 1894 and in the same year Andrews published what many consider finest work 'A Handbook of Anarchy'. Almost immediately Andrews and his fellow publishers, Wolfe and Robinson, were jailed, not for sedition, but apparently for not having a printer's imprint correctly set on the book.
Perhaps this was because the handbook was not quite the call to arms which the worried Australian Federal and State politicians thought it to be. It started with a definition that may have surprised, and confused, many if they had actually got a chance to read the limited print run
'Anarchy is freedom. The literal meaning of the word 'free' is to love or like; thus when we say that a man is free we imply that he is 'to like', that is, he has only to like in order to decide what he will do, or try to do. Among the things which people in general like, is to avoid hurting others…'
In 1895 Andrews was again in jail on charges of sedition relating to another publication he was involved with called 'Revolt'. Again the charges appear to have been hard to pin down as Andrews was freed in July 1895 after which he made his way back to Melbourne where he became involved in the Victorian Labour Federation. He died virtually destitute of tuberculosis in 1903 and was buried in an unmarked grave in the Booroondara Cemetery.

Germantown boys basketball
In a physical game, Warhawks' guard LaMonte Bearden hit 12-of-12 free throws as he and Jon Averkamp had 18 points apiece in a 71-46 North Shore Conference decision over Port Washington on Friday.
With the win, the top-ranked Warhawks improved to 6-0 in North Shore play and 8-0 overall. Entering Saturday night's nonconference game with state-ranked Division 2 power East Troy (see GermantownNOW.com for details), Germantown had a 36-game winning streak.
The Warhawks now make another appearance in the eighth annual Wisconsin Basketball Yearbook Shootout at Concordia University in Mequon. They take on unbeaten Arrowhead at 8:30 p.m. Thursday and then challenge Milwaukee Riverside at 9 p.m. Friday.
Against host Port, the Warhawks began slowly, pulling ahead by a 16-11 count at the quarter before gaining some breathing room with a 21-9 in the second period.
As noted, the game was physical as Germantown hit 32-of-44 free throws in the contest as opposed to just seven of 10 for the Pirates. Bearden and Averkamp led the way. Averkamp had seven field goals and hit four-of-six free throws en route to his season high.
Luke Fischer also had 13 for Germantown.
Germantown/Menomonee Falls Ice Bears hockey
The 3-3 Ice Bears take part in the post-holiday eight-team Milwaukee Admirals Cup Tourney. They take on Stoughton in a quarterfinal game on Wednesday and play games Thursday and Friday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee.
Other North Shore Conference rivals in the event include league-leading WNS (Whitefish Bay-Nicolet-Shorewood) and Homestead.
Menomonee Falls/Hamilton/ Germantown boys swim
The Indians take part in the Metro Swim Officials Invitational at 10 a.m. Thursday at Homestead. The nontraditional meet features longer distance races than most high school swimmers are accustomed to and allows coaches to test their athletes in different events.
Menomonee Falls wrestling
The Indians challenging schedule continues Friday and Saturday at the Northern Exposure Dual Meet Invite at Merrill. Falls will wrestle up to seven dual meets over the course of the two-day event, which also features Falls' Greater Metro Conference rivals West Allis Central and Brookfield East.
Germantown girls basketball
The Warhawks (6-3), took on Arrowhead in the Al McGuire Classic at the Al McGuire Center in Milwaukee on Saturday to close out their preholiday slate.
They are off until Jan. 4 when they visit Nicolet in a North Shore Conference game. Germantown was to have taken on Port Washington in a league game on Dec. 20 but that game was postponed by the strong winter storm that hit the area that day.

When you graduate seven seniors, smooth transitions are anything but easy for a young team.The Case Cardinals experienced early growing pains on Wednesday afternoon as they lost their soccer season opener to SCC rival Old Rochester Regional, 5-0 at Case High School.
After keeping the Bulldogs off the map for a majority of the first half, ORR scored a trio of goals in the last ten minutes of play.
Mason Silva powered through traffic towards Case's goalpost and dished the ball past Cardinals' goalkeeper William Kelly in the 33rd minute to snap the scoreless tie. Evan Santos doubled the lead minutes later (37:00) and Timothy Dix's headshot after receiving a corner kick gave the Bulldogs a 3-0 halftime lead.
"Those last ten minutes were what killed us," said Case first-year coach Steve Manteiga. "But we'll get better. We fought hard. We're a young team with six freshmen, so it's a rebuilding year."
ORR (1-0) added two more scores in the second half. Alex Tavares sent a worm-burner to the right of the Cardinals' goalpost in the game's 60th minute and Dix lofted a floater just below the crossbar ten minutes later for his second goal.
Case made a run for their first goal towards the end, taking three shots on ORR goalie Melvin Vincent, but with little success. Despite the losing outcome, Manteiga praised Kelly, who racked up 17 saves for the Cardinals (0-1) and stopper Matthew Gray, who shined on defense by breaking up passes and preventing more ORR scoring opportunities.
"William faced a lot of shots and Gray played phenomenal," he said.
Case also got strong physical play from Jonathan Ferreira and midfielder Connor Halpin. ORR outshot Case, 22 to 5. Vincent recorded 5 stops for the Bulldogs.
The Cardinals' next game takes place Friday afternoon at Dighton-Rehoboth.

The 6 Most Intimidating Statues from Around the World
If you've ever had the privilege of seeing the Statue of Liberty in person, you were probably struck with a mix of patriotism and awe, immediately followed by a twinge of boredom. Lady Liberty is great and all, but unless she's kicking ass in a Toby Keith song or flipping out in front of a tax preparation office, she's usually not something to be afraid of. Her designers could have learned a thing or two from these idols of badassery, which are more likely to haunt your dreams than inspire your love of country.
#6. Half Lion, Half Fish, All Badass
Quick quiz: What's the national mascot of Singapore? Quick answer: the Merlion. Second quick quiz: What's a Merlion? Second quick answer: It's like a mermaid, but with the top half of a lion instead of a woman. And it's goddamned terrifying:
Either way that puss smells like tuna.
So Singapore's 11-story Merlion would have been spectacular and/or nightmarish in its own right, considering the look of pure dumb crazy in its eyes and the span of its gaping mouth. But you have to be careful not to confuse the 11-story Sentosa Merlion with the Merlion of Merlion Park, which is actually a fountain that projectile vomits water into the bay below because it's a Merlion and it doesn't give a fuck.
Wolfgang Sladkowski
Considering what cats usually spray, this could be much worse.
The Sentosa Merlion doesn't just boast the shape of a monster, the height of a building, and a hollow body that you can climb into on days when you just want to know what it's like to gaze on your city from the mouth of a fish-lion about to go on a rampage ...
Getty Images News/Getty Images
"Is that your stomach growling?"
"... no."
... it has a much weirder trick up its sleeve. It turns out the whole thing is covered with 16,000 lights that turn the statue into a mythological disco party at night. And its mouth and eyes are lit from within, so you'll never forget what hell looked like in the '70s.
And, if the mood is right and the power is up and running, this Merlion shoots LASERS out of its EYES. All statues should have that capability.
#5. The Motherland Calls You (to Hell)
Deep in the heart of what used to be Stalingrad is a statue so fearsome, so monstrous, so testing-the-boundaries-of-what-God-will-allow, that it's actually in danger of self-destruction any day now. Not just because of the person-size mouth that threatens to inhale all the good oxygen that's left in the world, but because it's just too damn big. Behold, "The Motherland Calls":
"Higher! Kick higher, or you'll taste my blade!"
Now, it helps to know that this sword-swinging giant isn't just an ode to big-muscled Russian ladies -- she's commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad, a World War II fight that saw over a million deaths between the two sides. So while America's iconic lady statue carries a torch lighting the way toward freedom, Russia's is carrying a sword lighting the way toward certain annihilation. If you ever needed to know what the Cold War was about, this is probably it.
"Commie ... Commie ... Communism, hoooooooooo!"
But there's a problem. The statue is so massive that the two shawls on her back are each the size of a Mack truck and weigh 250 tons apiece. The statue as a whole weighs a gigantic 8,000 tons.
Anna Frodesiak
"Fuck you, it's just some holiday weight."
Look at that chart. The Statue of Liberty may be slightly taller than Russia's giant female sword monster, but if you take away the Statue of Liberty's wussy pedestal, it's barely half of Mama Calls' size. "The Motherland Calls," on the other hand, is standing on the GROUND like an average Joe. Hell, "The Motherland Calls" isn't even attached to its foundation. It's just resting there on the hill with its weight and gravity being the only thing keeping it from kicking the whole Earth's ass. It's so rad, it doesn't even care about structural integrity, a fact you might want to keep in mind the next time you visit the area.
#4. Peter the Great Has the Eyes of a Madman
Have you ever wondered what it would look like if Edgar Allan Poe piled a bunch of ships on top of each other, climbed to the top, then looked out upon the ocean with a set of eyes so crazy, they begged for an intervention? Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli did. So, in 1997, he used the 300th anniversary of the founding of Russia's navy to unleash this heap of anger on the city of Moscow:
To be fair, 300 is the Terrifying Nautical Statue Anniversary.
Now, obviously the man above isn't Edgar Allan Poe or William Shakespeare or Bill Murray or any of the other men he slightly resembles; he's supposed to be Peter the Great, the ruthless czar who dragged Russia into modernity. It just so happens that this version of Peter is dressed like a Roman centurion and holding a golden scroll that bears the names of all who will be consumed by his wavy locks. His other hand is steering the ship, which isn't so much a ship as it is a "ship collection," but we'll get to that in a second.
"The scroll is a menu, and dinner is your souls."
Under Peter's feet is a decent-size boat. Sure, it's small compared to his giant form, but realistic scale isn't a concern when creating the world's most badass monuments. What's more important is what's underneath that ship, which is about a dozen other ships, each jammed mercilessly with a flag of St. Andrew's cross, just so you don't forget who's in charge here.

Sarah's Story
Bonnie Schuman
Last Modified: May 25, 1997
What happens to a young woman with dreams of becoming pregnant, when she walks out of a fertility doctor's office with a diagnosis of Leukemia instead of a baby? She falls apart emotionally . Her life takes on an entirely different course. Until that awful moment in time, Sarah describes her life as perfect. Both her husband, Roger's, and her career were going well. No matter how busy, every week, they set aside at least one evening to go on a date with each other. Life was good. Sarah completed the last class she needed for her degree in journalism and now Sarah and Roger were going to have a baby.
CML Leukemia. Without a bone marrow transplant Sarah's expected survival could be as brief as three to four years. With a bone marrow transplant, Sarah will likely become infertile. From the beginning, Roger has been an incredible support to Sarah, but the shock, grief, and fear she experienced with the diagnosis called for additional help. Her physician suggested The Wellness Community. Coming to The Wellness Community was one of the most difficult things Sarah had ever done. The words, "I have cancer," were and still are almost impossible for her to say. However, the first evening Sarah came to The Wellness Community and talked about her Leukemia, a young man in the orientation group began to cry. When he explained that Sarah's words brought him back to when he was first diagnosed, Sarah realized that finally she found someone who knew exactly what she was going through and that being with people who understood took away some of the pain. She immediately joined a support group and was amazed how quickly she bonded with other cancer patients. Roger also found comfort in The Wellness Community family support group with other family members. According to Sarah, Roger is her pillar, and The Wellness Community is holding them both up.
Sarah is learning from her group members techniques to help herself, ways to partner with her physicians, the importance of her attitude, and that a lot of people love her and are rooting for her. She describes the people at The Wellness Community as courageous, amazing people who keep her on focus and don't allow her to become short-sighted Sarah has found the support she needs to deal with today and to face what's ahead tomorrow. She is terrified about the upcoming bone marrow transplant. But surrounded by the love of her husband, her family and her support group, Sarah has completed a process of harvesting eggs and storing embryos, so that when she is two years past her bone marrow transplant, Sarah and Roger can pick up her lives where they left off and have the baby of their dreams.
Next month, Sarah will travel to Seattle for her bone marrow transplant. She will take with her all that she has learned at The Wellness Community. Sarah says she wishes she could be the last person to need to walk through the doors of The Wellness Community in search of support. Unfortunately people continue to be diagnosed with cancer every day and Sarah says if she knew someone with cancer, she would not only recommend The Wellness Community, she would drive them there.

The 6 Most Disastrous Uses of Work Email Ever
#3. Katrina Nugent and Melinda Bird - HAM FIGHT!
Katrina Nugent and Melinda Bird were a couple of legal secretaries at a law firm in Australia who wanted to relive high school, and apparently felt the firm's email system was the best place for it. The troubles began when Katrina sent an email to her entire floor at the office trying to find out who pulled an Oceans 11 and cleverly stole her ham and cheese sandwich supplies. Melinda, in an attempt to be helpful, responded with this email:
"Katrina, there are items fitting that exact description in the level 20 fridge. Are you sure you didn't place your lunch in the wrong fridge yesterday?"
To normal humans this email was simply someone trying to be helpful, but if you speak skank then you understand that these were obviously fighting words. Being careful to remember to "Reply to All" so that they kept everyone in the loop, the cat fight was on. After some preliminary back-and-forth, Katrina landed this blow:
"I wouldn't trade places with you for "the world"".
We have no idea why she put quotes around "the world" but we suspect that it makes "the world" into something even more awesomely huge than just the normal world thus increasing the power of her put down. This inspired Melinda to pull out something she had been saving since elementary school:
"I wouldn't trade places with you for the world...I don't want your figure!"
This shit just got extremely real.
Melinda then had to let everyone know that Katrina was in fact probably a slut by claiming she had been with a lot of guys. Then in a confusing, or perhaps cunning, twist depending on whether you still watch High School Musical, Melinda ended the fight by writing:
"I have 5 guys at the moment! haha."
It's unclear whether Melinda caught the flaw in her logic, but given that both of them declined to keep the fight to themselves it's unlikely she thought that her argument was anything but brilliant.
Unrelated photo
The Fallout:
The lawyers and other staff who had ringside tickets to this electronic hair pulling were so entertained that they decided to share the emails with people outside the firm as well. Eventually senior partners of the firm were getting the emails from friends ... at other firms.
Katrina and Melinda were fired for misusing the firm's email and for being bitchy to each other in clear contravention of the firm's "No Bitches" policy. The lawyers who sent the email to their friends did not receive any punishment, which totally pissed off Melinda's dad. He considered legal action, until he realized suing a law firm might be like trying to rob a gun store with a knife.
#2. Lucy Gao's Party Will Be Freaking Awesome
Lucy Gao was a 20-year-old intern at Citigroup who was really fucking excited about turning 21. Whether it was because she was looking forward to drinking or because she was finally getting that pony she was promised, she wanted to make sure everything went perfectly.
To help celebrate her big day she planned a party at the Ritz for a few of her friends and sent out an email with the details for the party. Lots and lots of details, with the word "Ritz" inserted like some kind of Tourette Syndrome tic:
" ... to ensure your entry into the Ritz...Lucy's 21st Birthday Party at The Ritz...I have arranged the Ritz to host a Champagne Reception with a selection of Ritz Champagne....A specially made birthday cake has also been ordered and the Ritz waiters will kindly serve you each a generous slice with Ritz cutleries,"
What? No Ritz crackers?
Part of Lucy's problem seemed to be that her friends were apparently complete morons. To help make sure they made it to the party she felt she had to give them explicit directions:
"When asked "how can I help you Sir/Madame?", you reply "I am here for Lucy's Birthday Party at the Rivoli Bar""
She makes it sound like her friends are so incompetent they'd have to be herded to the party like cattle. If so, we can only imagine their disappointment when they finally made it there and realized there wasn't going to be a ravioli bar.
Not a thing.
Lucy also had a fairly strict hierarchy of friends and wanted to make sure everyone knew what their place was in the pecking order, as evidenced by the schedule for arrivals at the end of her email:
"ARRIVAL TIMES: [Please stick to these as best as you can, thank you]
9:00pm: Lucy, Sophie Sandner, Kajai, Mandeep, Preet, Sanami, Su, Lisa, Kate.
9:15pm: Phoebe, Sophie Seugnet, Theo, Dmitry, Ed, Nikolay, Paul, Nick, Harry.
9:30pm: Marco, Andrea, Jess, Ovi, Yuki, Olga, Kim, Marcelo, Ulyana, Krystal, Dan.
9:45pm: Sunita, Alan, JingJing, Emma.
10:00pm: Anthony, Rachel, Roger, Uli, Yogi, Gharzi"
If you were Sophie, or Kajai, you were one of the chosen few. If you were Anthony or Rachel though you were pretty much one of the kids her mom forced her to invite as you were not allowed to come to the party until 10, even though the champagne reception started at 9.
Sorry, Gharzi. You wait in the elevator until 10:00.
The Fallout:
The email was forwarded on by her friends, (probably the pissed off 10 o'clock invitees) and soon made the rounds of all the investment banks. From there it escaped into the internets and here we are. At some point somebody sold t-shirts.
Lucy finally responded to all the people having fun at her expense and tried to convince us that the email was just a joke between her and a couple of her guests. Her comedy stylings no longer appear at Citigroup.
#1. Patrick Smith and the Old Horse Fat
We're not sure what it is about working in a law firm but it appears that all those legal shows where people are screwing like rabbits may have some basis in reality. Patrick Smith had a sweet job with an international law firm and while working one night, got an email from a friend inviting a group of people out to drinks after work. Most people would have replied with a simple yes, but as was demonstrated in his reply, Patrick Smith was not most people.
"Dude, "Carol" (not her real name) wants some of that double penetration action, so let me know when you and the old horse fat are around."
Dramatic reenactment of Old Horse Fat.
It seems Patrick suffered from a condition that made him extremely horny from reading contracts all day. He had spent the day having the same kind of erotic fantasies we've all had. You know the one where you are having hot sex, just you, the girl and your best friend, normal stuff. Let's face it, when having sex doesn't every guy think it would be even better if there was one more wiener involved? Especially if your friend has an awesome name like "Venn King".
"Man, if only there was another hairy dude here this would be perfect."
Carol is believed to be a lawyer at another law firm and the term "old horse fat" is how they say "dick" in England (or at least we hope so). This would mean Patrick was an old horse fat for mistakenly sending his response to his buddy and the other 30 people on the email thread. Patrick's menage a trois invitation remained a secret for about 10 seconds, until his friends managed to stop laughing long enough to hit the forward button.
The Fallout:
The partners at his law firm didn't see the humor in all this and in typical fashion suspended him while they investigated. Being high paid lawyers they confirmed that he did in fact use his work email to arrange a tag team and fired him.
Patrick should have known that the proper way to invite a friend to make sweet love to your girlfriend is in person, maybe over a beer. He paid for this breach of etiquette with his job. We were unable to find out what happened to Carol or Venn but we're happy to be able to add "the old horse fat" to our dick vocabulary.

Enterprise High School running back Brad Woods is a finalist for the KRCR News Channel 7 Northstate Heisman Trophy.
There's almost nothing Woods hasn't accomplished this season. As the featured running back for the Northern Section Division 1 Champion Enterprise Hornets, Woods ran for almost 1,400 yards in 2012.
He scored two touchdowns in the championship game. One of those scores will be hard to forget. As time ran out in the first half, Woods took the handoff from Enterprise quarterback Zack Trueblood. Woods ran through and bounced off Paradise High School tacklers. Just as he was about to be tackled, he tossed a lateral pass to Taylor Angley-Holman. With no time on the clock, Angley-Holman rumbled into the endzone to give Enterprise the lead at halftime 28-21.
Woods said he preferred his other touchdown, because it allowed him to run right down the sideline past the rival Paradise team and fans.
The Hornets went on to win the championship with a 2 point-conversion with less than one minute left in the 4th quarter by a final of 36-35.
Woods said he's talking to a couple of small colleges about playing football next year. He has yet to decide where he will attend college.

WACO (November 26, 2012)--A town hall Wednesday hosted by the Greater Waco Chamber will address hunger issues in the community.
The town hall will assist the Food Planning Task Force in uncovering the community's needs so that a strategic plan can be developed to help end hunger in McLennan County.
One topic is Breakfast in the Classroom, an initiative that makes breakfast available to every student, no matter their parents' income level.
Attendees will also learn about the Texas Health and Human Services community partner program which oversees the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS), and Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).

I like the game, and I am hoping that if I buy the game I get the game and won't keep having to pay money for it or for extra features.
WoW has a monthly fee. You will have to continue paying the monthly fee if you want to continue playing. However it does have a free to play option with added limitations, this is called the Starter Edition.
You mentioned in your other question that you have some kind of a limited internet access. Keep in mind that the Starter edition would be a very large download. Additionally, there are occasional updates to the game client that require large downloads. This may mean you would have additional costs associated with playing WoW.
The mandatory costs for World of Warcraft:
You can also optionally spend money on cosmetic items like mounts and pets.
When you buy all the sets (the expansions and all the stuff that require for you to play) you just have to pay a fee every month.
To be able to play and log into the game, you don't need to pay anything else except the fee every month. Also there are other payment plans that cost a bit less than the monthly renewal.

In-home care is provided by an individual that you employ to work in your home. Caregivers are available to either "live-in" in your home or "live out" and come to your home each day. Individuals working in this capacity are referred to as nanny, housekeeper, in-home care provider, or babysitter.
Full time nannies in NYC are paid weekly. Rates for nannies vary depending upon the community in which care is provided. In the Washington Square Village area full-time nannies earn $500/week on average. Part time nannies usually earn $15/hour. Families who hire a full time in-home provider must also consider the expense of paying taxes and some decide to cover the cost of health insurance for the care provider. Meals, money for transportation and bonuses may also contribute to the cost of hiring an in-home care provider.
When looking for a nanny, you will want to think about several key aspects of care.
Most nannies are asked to actively engage children throughout the day with activities and local outings. Some families expect their nanny to perform some housekeeping duties such as meal preparation and laundry. While helpful a nanny's time spent completing these task will have less time to spend directly interacting with the children. Clarifying your expectations before you hire a nanny will help you find someone who is a good fit.
Once you have a clear idea of what your nanny's duties will be, start looking around. You can locate a nanny through an agency, through friends and colleagues, or placing and looking at ads online, in newspapers, or at local stores and schools. NYU's Employee Assistance Program, Carebridge Life Resources, (800-437-0911) can help you with referrals to local placement agencies. When you identify a potential nanny, start with a phone conversation. If the conversation goes well, set up an interview so you can get to know her better.
The interview is your chance to ask about the candidate's experience with children and to find out if her expectations for the job are in line with your expectations. Some families include their children in the interview process to observe how the nanny interacts with them and seek their opinions when making a hiring decision.
No matter where you find your nanny, and no matter how well the interview goes, always ask for and check references. Unlike child care centers and family child care homes, in-home caregivers are not regulated or monitored by any government agency. If you are using a nanny agency, they may perform background and reference checks for you however it is commonly advised that you should complete your own reference checks.
If you are happy with the results of the reference check, it is time to make an offer, and sign an employment contract or agreement. By signing a contract, you make certain that you and your nanny are clear about the terms of employment, including pay, hours, time off (i.e. holidays, vacation, and sick days), and responsibilities. A nanny agency may have its own contracts for you to use. Or, you may choose from among the print and online sample contracts. Be sure to go back and revisit the contract or agreement from time to time as the needs of your family and your nanny may change.
When you and your nanny agree to a start date, be sure to plan to spend some time in the home with her and your child. This time will provide a good opportunity for all of you. It will enable you to get to know your nanny better and to help her know your family's and child's routines and establish a strong relationship that is so important to a successful situation.

New CT Scan for Lung Cancer Screening Debuts at Norris Cotton Cancer Center
Cancer Center research was key to development of the new screening test.
The test, which is a low-dose CT scan allows physicians to identify cancerous growths before they are visible on a traditional x-ray. Research shows that having a lung cancer screening test may reduce deaths from lung cancer in middle aged current and former heavy smokers by 20 percent.
At present, the majority of lung cancers are caught late, resulting in just a 15 percent survival rate at five years. Previous studies have shown that using a standard chest X-ray doesn't catch the presence of lung cancer early enough to alter the mortality rate, but the new CT scan research is a game-changer, says Dr. Black.
Patients eligible for a CT screening for lung cancer are men and women aged 55 to 74 years with at least 30 "pack years" of smoking history. (Pack years = packs per day x number of years smoking; e.g., a smoker who has smoked two packs a day for 10 years has 20 pack years.) By definition, screening only pertains to patients who do not have signs or symptoms of lung cancer.
Fewer deaths from lung cancer
The research study, called the National Lung Screening Trial, was published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine. William Black, MD, professor of radiology at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth who heads the Geisel School's participation in the NLST, notes that not only did the research show a significant reduction in lung cancer deaths due to screening via CT scans, but overall mortality dropped seven percent as well.
The research involved data collected from more than 50,000 subjects at 33 sites. It is the first solid evidence that screening high-risk patients using CT scans could reduce lung cancer deaths -- a finding that has several of the nation's major medical centers setting up CT lung screening programs of their own.
Lung cancer screening tests are available at Norris Cotton Cancer Center. To determine eligibility and to make an appointment for a screening, contact the Lung/Esophageal/Thoracic Cancer Program. Contact phone numbers are listed in the "Contact Us" box on the right side of the web page.

How to Treat Wounds and Stop Bleeding
Bleeding doesn't always signal an emergency situation. A minor cut doesn't have the same priority as an injury that creates profuse bleeding. No matter what the situation may be, there is one important rule to remember when it comes to treating wounds:
First Things First
You don't have to step on a rusty nail to get a tetanus (lock-jaw) infection. Any wound is susceptible. The best preventative medicine is a tetanus injection every 10 years for everyone in the family. This is expecially important if you enjoy outdoor vacations or do extensive traveling abroad.
Always wash your hands before performing first aid to prevent infection. If soap and water aren't handy, make sure you have "wet naps" in your first aid kit.
Although you don't have to take extreme precautions when it comes to your immediate family, remember that with friends, colleagues, and strangers, it's always best to follow universal safety guidelines to prevent transmission of the HIV virus and other infections via blood. Always wear two pairs of latex gloves, a mask, goggles, and an apron, if possible.
As an extra precaution, make sure any open wounds or cuts on your skin are completely covered before performing first aid.
Where the bleeding is coming from is more important than the amount of blood you see. A minor cut can create profuse bleeding—as anyone who has cut him- or herself shaving knows.
When you check an injured person's vital signs, don't forget to check for signs of bleeding. After you've washed your hands, attend to the wound. Is it near a major artery or vein, such as in the inside of the wrist, along the neck, on the torso area, at the inner thigh, or on the back of the calf? Is it serious enough for stitches? Does the cut appear to be close to the surface? After you've determined where the cut is located, you can take appropriate steps to stop the bleeding, as described in the following paragraphs. And, as always, don't forget your universal safety measures!

CHESTER - Captain Genius, the 11-10 favorite, made it look easy on Tuesday night, taking the lead a few strides out of the gate and drawing off to win the $85,000 Sophomore Sprint Championship at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and by 8 lengths.
The final time for Captain Genius in the six-furlong event for 3-year-olds was 1:10.61 on a surface that was still a bit moist from showers the night before. A pair of longshots, Jasizzle and Fleet Eagle, finished second and third.
"He just towed me around," said Deshawn Parker, Mountaineer's perennial leading jockey, who piloted Captain Genius. "I just hung on. I'd like to say I had something to do with it, but I didn't really."

THE WINNER — Captain Genius, with Deshawn Parker up, won the Sophomore Sprint Championship Tuesday at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort.
-- Belinda Madrid/Coady Photography
A colt trained by Joe Woodard (who currently ranks seventh in the North American standings in victories), Captain Genius is a grandson on his dam's side of the 1987 sprint champion Groovy.
Captain Genius campaigns for Billy Donna and Justin Hays. His career record now includes eight starts, four wins and a trio of placings, His $49,385 share of the Sophomore Sprint purse elevated Captain Genius's career earnings to $111,790.
NOTEBOOK: Wise Dan is the consensus favorite to receive this year's Eclipse Award as North America's Horse of the Year. He fortified his status with a victory in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita on Nov. 3. Wise Dan is by Wiseman's Ferry, who was victorious in the 2002 West Virginia Derby (which was then a Grade 3 event). Wiseman's Ferry would be the first winner of Mountaineer's premier race to sire an Eclipse recipient. He began his racing career in Ireland prior to coming to the U.S., and also won the Lone Star Derby at Lone Star Park and placed in the Ohio Derby at Thistledown. The career racing record of Wiseman's Ferry includes 16 starts, four wins, five placings and purse earnings of $825,266. He was trained by Niall O'Callaghan, was ridden in the West Virginia Derby by Jorge Chavez and, following his tenure as a Kentucky-based sire, now stands at Dana Point Farm in Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania ... Mountaineer's Deshawn Parker has led all North American jockeys in victories during each of the past two years. But it's unlikely he will top the standings on these shores in 2012. Through Monday, the leader was Russell Baze, with 332 victories. Ramon Dominguez was in second position, with 306. And Parker ranked third, with 301. Baze is 54 years old, is currently based in Northern California and continues to rides as brilliantly as ever - he is the all-time world leader in victories by a jockey, with 11,769. Baze's win ratio this year is an incredible 33.2 percent. Dominguez, who will celebrate his 36th birthday on Nov. 24, has received Eclipse Awards the past two years as North America's outstanding journeyman. He also won the 2003 West Virginia Derby aboard Soto in track-record time ... The $344 payoff for a $2 win ticket returned by Winter Ridge in Mountaineer's ninth race on Oct. 27 was easily the highest for the track this year, and may be the highest here ever (more research has to be done on this subject). The record for any West Virginia track for $2 to win is the $590 returned by the horse Zombro at Charles Town on Dec. 5 of its opening season in 1933. Winter Ridge is a 7-year-old gelding. He broke his maiden on May 11, 2008, at Presque Isle Downs. The Oct. 27 victory was his career fifth, gained from 58 starts, 49 of which have occurred in claiming company. Winter Ridge has now earned $120,846 in purses, which is pretty good, considering that he was purchased for only $15,000 at auction at age 2. Clayton Millwood rode him in his Oct. 27 effort, and Richard Markham is Winter Ridge's trainer.

PARKER (January 25, 2013)--The white two-story home with stately pillars overlooking a North Texas pasture where longhorns roam is instantly recognizable as the power seat of television's famous Ewing family.
Tourists from around the world have been flocking to Southfork Ranch in Parker since the early years of the classic series "Dallas," which ran from 1978 to 1991.
The premiere last June of a new "Dallas" series has increased the traffic.
Officials with property owner Forever Resorts say the number of Southfork visitors has doubled to more than 300,000 annually.
The new show starts its second season Monday on the TNT cable channel.
The death in November of actor Larry Hagman, who starred as conniving oilman J.R. Ewing, has also spurred fans to visit Southfork.

To the editor:
The Democratic Party is not the party of past generations. At its convention, it showed what it now is - godless, unsporting of our allies and promoters of death. In its prior platform, God was mentioned one time and Jerusalem was acknowledged as the capital of Israel. In its new platform, both were omitted. Questioned about this, delegates were pressured to vote to included the omissions. Jerusalem was acknowledged and after trying three times, God was included.
The face of the Democratic Party, President Barack Obama has shown what kind of man he is. Back when he was a senator from Illinois, Senate Bill 1663 - the born alive bill - was in its third reading. The bill would allow a baby that is born alive from a botched abortion to be allowed to live. Obama argued against it.
Obama has made it one of his key points that he is looking out for you saying we're our brother's keeper.
This is the same man who has a brother, George Obama, living in a slum on the outskirts of Nairobi.
Can you in good conscience vote for this man, and does the Democratic Party reflect your values? Democrats,why isn't anyone speaking up against what your party has become?

Is Your Family Ready for a Dog?
2 of 11
Are your children old enough to handle the responsibility?
If you have children under the age of six and don't yet have a dog, you may want to wait a few years. Young children are not usually responsible enough to help take care of a dog, and may not understand the proper way to handle one, either. Waiting to get a dog until your children are older will help you avoid any mistreatment of the dog, as well as any unwanted bites or growls.
Having a pet is a great way to teach your children the importance of responsibility, but it's also important to make sure your family is mature enough for the commitment.

I've already set up ADSL and used it already for a system update, so I'm sure the set up is ok but pacman suddenly stopped working and when I checked ping wasn't working too. How can I find out what went wrong and how can I fix it?
IP Network Troubleshooting
There are a few standard things you can look for when you are experiencing network connectivity issues. These are listed here from a top-down, or least fundamental to most fundamental issues.
All the example
Is access down to one site and not others?
If you've just noticed a website or service is down, try others before concluding that you are the one experiencing problems, and not the website you are trying to visit.
Is DNS not working?
DNS resolves domain names to ip addresses. If it isn't working, you may be able to access services by ip address but not domain names. To test for this, use
18.104.22.168 is the IP address of a Google server on the internet that should always be up; it can be replaced by any IP address known to be on the target network. This command sends two ICMP echo packet to a specific IP address; it doesn't rely on DNS to work. If the command works, replace the IP address with a domain name known to be working on the target network, like
Is there a route to the network?
To reach a network, your system has to know how to route to it. To see the routes your system knows about, we need a couple of commands.
This command lists any routing rules that are setup on your system. If you see only three entries (lines) and they end in 'local', 'main', and 'default', then you have only the standard rules setup. If there are any other entries, note them; in particular, the last word of the line – they are names of routing tables.
This command shows routes setup on the main table. There should usually be an entry that directs traffic to the target network. For internet connections, it is a route that looks like
Previously I said that there should usually be an entry there. If you had other tables setup and a rule pointing to them to look at the entries in other tables by using the following, replacing
If you do not have a route to the target network, you need to add one (or modify your network setup so it automatically adds the correct one for you). If you don't know how, ask a more specific question here, armed with this knowledge.
Is the network interface up?
To be able to use a network interface it has to be up and it should have an address. You can find if it is up by using:
This lists the network interfaces on your system. You should see at least two, one called "lo" and another entry for each network interface on your system. If you have a wired and a wireless interface, you might see 'lo', 'eth0', and 'wlan0' or 'lo', 'eth0', and 'eth1' whatever they are – that first bit after the entry index is the name of the network interface. For each of the interface entries, you should also see either 'state UP', 'state DOWN', or 'state UNKNOWN'. If the network interface that is connected to the target network is not present, it can be that the hardware driver isn't loaded or working (for actual network cards) or for PPP connections, that there is no connection established. If it says the link is down or unknown, the interface needs to be brought up. This is usually done by your system's networking setup – if it's not up, you can ask a more specific question here with this in mind. It can be done manually by the following command, replacing
Does the network interface have an address?
In addition to having the interface up, it needs to have an IP address. You can find the addresses of your interfaces by running the following command.
You'll see an entry for each of your interfaces with all the addresses it has. Most entries will have a link address, the important part is the IP address. There should be a line labeled 'inet' with an address for the network interface connected to the target network. It should be added automatically by your networking setup; if it wasn't, a dhcp client may not be running, or the ppp daemon may not have added it – you should ask a more specific question here with this in mind. One can be added manually (but depending on the network may not work) by the following command, replacing

This courtroom sketch by artist Janet Hamlin shows 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as he holds up a piece of paper during a court recess at his Military Commissions hearing on October 15, 2012 at the US Navy base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Long-delayed efforts to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four Al-Qaeda co-defendants finally got under way on Monday with a pre-trial hearing at Guantanamo. Eleven years after the attacks and nine-and-a-half years after his capture in Pakistan, KSM sat on a court bench wearing a white turban, his beard dyed with henna, as victims' family members looked on from behind a glass screen.

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (From CNN) -- Accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed asserted on Wednesday that the U.S. government sanctioned torture in the name of national security, and compared the scale of the terror attack that killed nearly 3,000 people to the "millions" he said have been killed by America's military.
"Many can kill people under the name of national security, and torture people under the name of national security," Mohammed said during a pretrial hearing at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"This is a resilient definition," he said in open court, as military censors stood ready to interrupt the video and audio.
"Every dictator can put on shoes to step on this definition, every law, every constitution, with this definition any can evade the rule and also go against it," he said.
He also compared the nearly 3,000 victims killed in the 9/11 hijack attacks in New York, Washington and western Pennsylvania to killings he blamed on the American military that he said number in the "millions.
Mohammed at one point also indirectly referred to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who was killed in 2011 in a raid on his Pakistani compound by elite U.S. troops and his body buried at sea.
"I don't want to be long, but I can say the president can throw someone in the sea in the name of national security," Mohammed said.
But when the tone and substance of his remarks were clear, Pohl said he would not allow him or the other defendants in the case to make personal observations about the process.
Mohammed and four other men before the military court are accused of planning and executing the attack.
Pohl has been hearing oral arguments from attorneys representing the government and the defendants on a proposed protective order intended to establish rules over the handling of classified information before and during the trial.
Prosecutors want to keep from public view classified information and also unclassified materials that they consider detrimental to national security. That includes the suspects' knowledge of CIA interrogation methods.
Mohammed, known by his initials KSM, has confessed to organizing the attack, his confession could be called into question during trial.
A 2005 Justice Department memo - released by the Obama administration - revealed that he had been water-boarded in March 2003. The technique, which simulates drowning, has been called torture by Obama and others.
The trial is not expected to start until next summer.

The only solutions I've found are expensive, and involved a pricey piece of equipment called a beer gun. Is there a way to carbonate my beer before bottling so I can ensure a good carbonation?
Well you carbonate the beer in the keg the same way as if you were going to serve from the keg. There is no carbonation procedure on the way into the bottle.
To get carbonated beer into the bottles however, the cheapest way to do it is to jam some 3/8ths inch tubing onto the end of your picnic tap. Using about an 12 inch piece of tubing you can put the tubing all the way to the bottom of the bottle and fill slowly. If you use cold bottles you'll lose less carbonation.
I tend to turn off the gas and turn my regulator down to near zero pressure. Bleed the keg completely. Put the tubing/picnic tap device into the bottle and depress the tap. Then slowly open the regulator until there is just enough pressure to see the beer start flowing. Fill 3-4 bottles at a time and cap them off.
Thats the cheap way I do it. I tend to carbonate the beer a little more than I would normally serve it at. Just by a few more pounds on the regulator during the carbonating process. That way I lose the extra upon fill.
Never had a judge complain of oxidation or under carbonated beer, and I am only into it for the cost of 12 inches of tubing.
There are two parts - carbonation, and getting it in the bottles.
For carbonation, there are various methods, but I use the set-it-and-forget-it method. Beer goes in keg, keg goes in fridge, CO2 gas gets put on keg. Just set the pressure to the amount of CO2 you want in solution - "volumes" of CO2 - based on the style of beer and a handy temperature / pressure chart like this one. Then you wait until it's carbed to your preference. I usually wait 2 weeks for full carbonation. Here's another link with a style guide.
Now to get the beer in the bottles, I prefer a variation of the Biermuncher Bottle Filler. It's just a picnic tap, hose, rubber stopper and racking cane. You basically jam the racking cane in the picnic tap, then put a stopper on the racking cane. The stopper allows you to keep backpressure on the beer as you're filling.
I do it right off my taps using an adapter for my Perlick faucets. I've made two videos on the process I use. It's convenient and cheap. I can bottle right at serving pressure (12psi), and I don't have to move kegs or change any fittings in the fridge, which is a big plus - the keg I want is invariably all the way at the back.
This is a good design for a counter pressure filling device, it used the same principals as a long tube bottling filler uses in a brewery. I think these designs can be refined or modified but are a good starting point. http://www.ipass.net/mpdixon/Homebrew/CounterPressureFiller.htm

Both prosecution and defense placements are available as well as some placements in agencies. In this internship, students conduct research on issues related to criminal law, procedure and evidence, assist in drafting motions and memoranda of law, participate in case investigations and witness preparation, and generally observe motions, hearings, trials and other court proceedings. Those students working at agencies will focus more on policy and planning matters. Seminar Credits: 1.00 Seminar: The clinic includes a 1-credit seminar. Enrollment Notes: A student wishing to continue in the same or another placement beyond two semesters in any setting can do so only with the permission of the instructor and only upon a showing of the educational benefit to be derived, and must fulfill the requirements of the course. There will be no seminar requirement after the first semester in this externship. Clinic - Judicial Externship The goal of this internship is to expose students to the judicial decision-making process through both a formal class and a fieldwork experience, and to study the work of both lawyers and judges. In the federal system, students are assigned to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and judges, magistrate judges and bankruptcy judges in the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. In the state system, students can be assigned to work for judges in the Appellate Division, Family, Surrogates or Supreme Courts (Civil or Criminal Terms), or the Civil Court of the City of New York. In addition to providing exposure to the inner workings of the various courts, the program offers an opportunity to do legal research, prepare written memoranda and drafts of judicial opinions, and to observe in the courtroom and at pretrial conferences. Seminar Credits: 1.00 Seminar: The externship includes a 1-credit seminar at which the students' experiences are discussed in relation to selected topics about the courts and judging. Enrollment Notes: There is a two-semester cap on participation in this externship in any setting. Students can enroll in both the federal and state seminar if the second semester placement is in the other court system. Otherwise, a student repeating the externship in the same placement can enroll in the seminar only once. Grading: Pass/Fail only. Clinic - Learning From Practice Seminar Externship Clinics offer students the opportunity to learn from working on real legal matters while carefully supervised by experienced practitioners or judges in the field. Learning From Practice is the concurrent externship seminar that is required for all students who have never previously enrolled in an externship or other clinic. It is a course in professionalism designed to support the student as a newcomer to legal practice. The seminar will focus on the study of lawyers and their roles and obligations, and of legal institutions, with emphasis on learning how to learn from experience, lawyering skills and competencies, ethics and morality, cross-cultural competence, and career planning. The seminar is oriented around student engagement as members of a professional network, actively participating in roundtable discussions, small group activities, simulations, and student presentations. Students will share and interpret their fieldwork experiences and distill the lessons of professionalism in a continuous and purposeful fashion, with faculty guidance and feedback. Gradng and Method of Evaluation: Letter grade only. Students will be assessed based on several reflective writing assignments, in-class exercises and presentations, professionalism, and class participation. Clinic - Prosecutors: Brooklyn District Attorney Under the supervision of a faculty member, students work as Student Assistant District Attorneys in the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, handling all stages of the prosecution of misdemeanor cases from intake in the complaint room through final disposition. The work includes complaint drafting, motion practice, plea negotiation, interviewing and counseling witnesses, and conducting evidentiary hearings. Students also are permitted to try cases before a judge or jury. The students are personally responsible for the cases, appear in court, and learn the legal and ethical skills of prosecution by actually making the decisions the cases require. Seminar Credits: 2.00 Seminar: The clinic includes a 2-credit seminar focusing on the legal, ethical, and skills dimensions of the rosecutor. Enrollment Notes: Enrollment is limited to third-year students. This clinic requires a two-semester commitment. Related Links: Faculty News Curriculum

Recently I have read and heard of more concern about Listeria. This topic is nothing new, it has been an issue for many years. There have just been some new studies out lately on Listeria. Listeria monocytogenes is found in dirt, water, and plants. Unlike other bacteria, it grows in cool, moist environments. The illness is uncommon in healthy people, but high risk populations are especially vulnerable, particularly pregnant women.
Listeria monocytogenes can be deadly for vulnerable groups of people. Between 2009-2011, 90 percent of the listeriosis cases were from this group. Vulnerable groups of people include the very young, older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and those with poor immune systems to fight off disease.
Prevention is the best defense. Here are some tips from the CDC:
*Avoid eating raw animal products, including raw milk products, uncooked or lightly cooked eggs, and raw fish and meat dishes.
*Cook raw meat to minimum internal temperature.
*Poultry, 165 F;
*Ground meat, 155 F;
*Steaks and roasts, *145 F;
*Eggs that will be served immediately, 145 F;
*Fruit, vegetables, grains such as rice and pasta and legumes such as beans, refried beans, that will be hot held at 135 F.
*Cold foods should be kept at less than 37 F to 35 F. Strive for 35 F.
*Your freezer at 0 F or lower.
*Wash ALL fruits and vegetables before eating. Avoid eating raw sprouts.
*Avoid hot dogs and other deli style meats unless they are reheated to steaming temperatures.
*Prevent cross contamination between raw or undercooked food and ready to eat food.
*Keep hot foods hot and cold food cold.
*Throw out any product that has passed its use by or expiration date
*Also avoid deli prepared salads, such as chicken or seafood salad. When I read this sentence, the first question that came to mind was "How do I reheat my sandwich made from deli meat or chicken that I brought in my lunch?" Here is Karen Blakeslee's, from the K-State Rapid Response, reply. Reheat the deli meat prior to making the sandwich or heat the meat in a skillet to make a toasted sandwich
For the vulnerable populations, avoid eating these types of food, the deli meats and deli salad mixture.
Keep your kitchen and environment cleaner and safer.
*Wash hands, knives, counter tops, and cutting boards after handling and preparing uncooked foods.
*Be aware that Listeria monocytogenes can grow in foods in the refrigerator. Use an appliance thermometer, to check the temperature inside your refrigerator.
*Clean up all spills in your refrigerator right away, especially juices from hot dog and lunch meat packages, raw meat, and raw poultry.
*Clean the inside walls and shelves of your refrigerator with hot water and liquid soap, then rinse.

I have had the Memphis BBQ experience I was looking for. The NBBQA conference is done for another year but those memories will certainly last a long time. In 4 days I ate lived and breathed BBQ with a few hundred other enthusiasts. However there was a core group of us again that went out on our own to seek out those unique Q & food experiences that are best experienced within a smaller group of friends.
Our group Dave from Sweet baby Rays, Rays Nephew Duce Raymond , Ron Nunes BBQ Organizer, Kelly & Roni from 4 Legs Up, Chris Jones from Colins Creek Barbecue, Joey McManus from Joey Mac's Smoke Stax, Tim Clendenning from Windy City Smokers, Woody Steve Wasson & Brenda Grubb from Woody's Smoke Shack all set out to experience some authentic Memphis Q and food. I felt once again blessed to be with such great people.
Cozy Corner
We set out to a place I have been waiting to eat at since I read about it in Peace Love & BBQ – Cozy Corner. It's in a less savoury part of Memphis where the windows of derelict buildings are smashed out everywhere, a bit of desperation has set itself on the people and the poverty is overwhelming. However when you pull up to this battered restaurant- you are greeted with nothing but pure Love & Sunshine by the owner Desiree. This woman is a true light within this downtrodden area. She puts her beliefs in God on Display throughout the restaurant from the bibles next to the register and the menu board which proclaims they would not accept any tips and thanks God.
When I spoke with her she was warm and lovely readily giving anyone and everyone that walked through the doors a hug a word of encouragement and true sincere expressions of care and concern. The restaurant itself was a relic in itself. The stained blue Berber carpet, missing ceiling tiles and flimsy wall panelling really does the place no justice. However you don't need decor to have great BBQ. I have seen this time and time again. Cozy Corner is one of those places.
We decided as we usually have in the past to get one of everything on the menu. This is really easy when you are traveling with a pack of 11. When we received the tray I was shocked to see the huge amounts of sauce on the Cornish hen, the ribs and the pork in addition to the smoked bologna sandwich. I am not a big fan of sauce and this looked as coated as an oil slick.
Everything at this place was wonderful. The hen was tender sweet tangy and spicy- I savoured the tiny little drum stick I had then the breast meat – intensely flavoured and spicier than the rest. My rib was perfectly cooked coming off the bone with just an easy tug of teeth once again surprisingly not overwhelmed by the sauce. The bologna cut into almost an inch thick slab was a throwback to my childhood. It was layered with sauce and coleslaw on a typical hamburger bun. It was awesome. The coleslaw and sauce really added to the overall flavour of the bologna sandwich. I could imagine coming here with my children just for that Sammie alone.
Everyone that serves you or interacts with you in this iconic place-smiles. They thank you profusely. It is a wonderful experience to feel appreciated. They get it here. You can certainly understand why they are still there. It is perfect with all of its "imperfections" Most of all what makes it perfect is the combination of Desiree's continuance of this wonderful BBQ joint and the warm fuzzy feeling you leave with it.
We stopped at Rendezvous in the downtown core as well. It's down an alley way near the Peabody in the same location it has been in for -well forever it seems. In 1948, Charlie Vergos cleaned out a basement below his diner, discovered a coal chute, and started a legend. Charlie's kids run things now, and their kids are coming along, and their kids will follow.
The alley is full of dumpsters, trash and the smell of charcoal. Seedy would be one way to describe it. However as you stand there you see people from all walks of life heading into Rendezvous: Ladies dressed to the nines with their Manolo Blahnik boots and Louis Vuitton purses, men in their sharp Ralph Lauren suits and Brooks Brothers, everyday people in their Nikes and hoodies attire all carefully treading around the dumpsters to get to this place. Not only people walking in but there is a constant flurry of vehicles driving up and dropping people off.
Now imagine yourself walking into an antique store jumbled full of treasures and timeless classics, full glass showcases containing lots of kitschy fun stuff. The floor is mottled and cracked there are people everywhere sitting at tables eating BBQ. Then take a walk to one of their antiquated back rooms full of signs and pictures from all over the world and you know you have arrived at Rendezvous.
Our party once again tried everything we could possibly partake in on the menu while still allowing us to remain upright without going into a protein coma. We ordered a sample platter of all of their meats plus a couple of sides. However before I go into more detail on this I will have to tell you about my most favorite part about Rendezvous and that would be our server. To call him a server seems a bit of a disservice he is a Legend here at Rendezvous himself. Big Jack Dyson is a flurry of Southern comebacks and full on court press hospitality. He will have you laughing and feeling comfy in an instant. He has been at Rendezvous since 1969. They don't have a lot of staff turnover issues at Rendezvous.
Big Jack brought us out some of their gumbo to try on the house. It was an interesting medley of flavours for sure. He also brought us some lamb ribs that were gamier than most I have tried. These were not what I was used to but it was just fine. The food overall at Rendezvous is not something I would go back for to be honest. I didn't like their ribs or the pulled pork at all. I was really looking forward to some dry ribs but these were not it. They were just not my thing. I don't think many in our party liked them at all. I don't think you go to Rendezvous for the food. You go for the experience. I would go again for the experience. It should not be missed. The ambiance and the cold beer were a great combo. However next time I think I would just stick with their ham & cheese plate.
Pig on Beale-Pork with an Attitude
From their website:
With the 1950s decor of checkerboard floors, formica tables and vintage movie posters mixes with live rockabilly, honky tonk or bluegrass music, a down-home happenin' hoopla should come as no surprise. The Pig on Beale's jukebox could easily be the best on Beale Street, with an eclectic mix of Memphis
music like the older Furry Lewis and Elvis to the Delta Blues of the Eric Hughes Band. The bar hosts live Blues and Americana music Thursday through Sunday from area Americana bands.
What they don't tell you on their homepage (they do in the about section though) is that their food rocks. I mean rocks out like being at the best concert of your life with the love of your life.. For me sharing their food with some incredibly dear BBQ people was an event I will cherish.
The food is top notch. Once again I have found competition quality BBQ at a restaurant. There are only 3 BBQ joints (Pig on Beale, Bub-Ba-Q, Q Restaurant) I have been to that I would be happy to serve their food in a turn in box and be proud to call it my own. From the creaminess of their potato salad to the wickedly good onion rings to the hickory kissed ribs and pulled pork perfection, great wings and the tender chicken the Beale Street BBQ super feast is awesome. Even that description doesn't seem good enough to me.
What impressed me even more is that we were there during the down times. Not even close to lunch or dinner but right in between. Having top quality food at an off time is impressive. It was quiet when we were there with only 1 or 2 other patrons. They have most obviously taken great care to ensure what they serve is their very best at all times. Our server was great too. Very polite to all of us making sure we were well attended to.
Later on at the convention I ran into John the owner. Now John stands heads above me and he is a solid young man. Think the Stone Cold Steve Austin version of BBQ and you have a good picture of what he looks like. John actually owns both Pig on Beale and natural Born Grillers. They compete as well. Actually they win a LOT too with many of their impressive trophies in the windows of Pig On Beale. Their website lists their many competition accolades. I was sorry we didn't have the time to make it out to their Southaven location.
My advice to anyone would be that going to Memphis and not eating BBQ at Pig on Beale would be akin to missing your first Anniversary, your kids birth or your own wedding – it's just something that should never ever be missed. It was that good.
Gus's Fried Chicken
Now off to another joint we went just down a few blocks and around a corner. This was the second time in three days that I had eaten there. That should pretty much tell you something right there. I had extolled the virtues of Gus's fried chicken to our group and we all decided to give it a go.
We had the deep fried pickled fried green tomatoes and a whole lotta chicken and fries. Once again it did not disappoint. Lip smacking finger licking can I get another piece even if I have just eaten at 3 other BBQQ joints chicken kind of food. I think to tell an outstanding place from a good one it is just this when you are so stuffed you can barely move but all you want to do is eat more you know you are in a place of greatness. I think that applies to both BBQ and chicken.
Jim Neely's Interstate BBQ
On the day I was leaving my friends Chris Jones and Tim Clendenning all headed to the airport together. As we wandered around waiting for our flight we decided to have breakfast. Well of course that would mean having more BBQ. You just can't ever get enough. So we headed to Jim Neely's Interstate Bar-B-Que. This was about 830am.
Gotta love Memphis where you can get BBQ at any time of the day or night. We ordered up BBQ Nachos, Pulled pork and BBQ Bologna. It was all great. Just really good decent BBQ that had good flavour, good texture, and nice sauce. The BBQ Bologna had a great char on it as well that was yummy.
The Pulled Pork Sammie had to have at least a ½ lb of pork on it. Extremely generous. We did also get the BBQ spaghetti I will say this it's not my thing. Just no. Just not going to ever order BBQ spaghetti again. Overall the food was really good. We even got to talk with Harold Neely. He wanted to pick up our check but Chris had already paid. Good people to talk with for sure. If you are in the Memphis airport stop by and eat. You will not be disappointed.
Well I could go on and tell you some really juicy stories about Myron "Damn" Mixon, or some of the other folks fables and tall tales or even my own new associations with some fine folks but I think I will take a lot of those stores and keep them to myself. While in Memphis I walked by a poster and it said this: What happens in Vegas started in Memphis. I tend to agree with this sentiment. For the days I was there I was educated, libated and satiated with BBQ and food. We will leave it at that.
However as I end this rather long winded (and really if you have read the blog at any time you will know I tend to be a wee bit long winded) I have to tell you a story about our trip to Gus's and this goes towards the kindness and the type of people I am real proud to associate with. As we were walking in Memphis within our tight knit little group a homeless man approached my friends and asked for money. He ended up being invited to eat with us. None of us would ever like to see anyone go hungry. None of us would have wanted for this man to go without something to eat. So we had our meal with this man who was quite articulate and certainly added a deeper meaning to our meal. That is the breaking of bread with your fellow man is always a good thing. That we should always look out for each other. That we should take care of each other. That food whether it be BBQ in Memphis a hot dog in New York or even poutine in Toronto has the capacity to bring us all together. That is my Memphis story.
** A note of thanks to Kelly & Roni Wertz from 4 Legs up BBQ for some of the excellent pictures of the Memphis adventure.
