"The Mom Song" – Do You Recognize It ?
By · CommentsI just received this hilarious video and had to share it with my readers. Does it sound familiar?

Want A Professional Cooking Education?
By · CommentsToday, I just have to tell you about the greatest educational DVD's, on cooking and baking, I have ever found. I know you will agree when you take a look at The Great Courses catalog.
I have purchased college level courses from this company for years. I was floored when they brought out their new cooking courses from instructors at The Culinary Institute of America, the Greystone, California campus.
The Culinary Institute of America, CIA for short, is considered Thee Top Rated, "Best Culinary School in the world" according to Paul Bocuse, world renowned French chef, ( "The Everyday Gourmet, Making Healthy Food Taste Great"), and many others, as you will see in their reviews. I have known of this school for many years. Many great chefs graduated from there, wish I did.
Don't be afraid of the term "college level". You will find these courses very entertaining as well as informative. Even people cooking for many years, like myself, have learned new ideas and expanded on their extensive knowledge of cooking and baking, not to mention the things I had forgotten about.
First of the series of three is: "The Everyday Gourmet: Rediscovering the Lost Art of Cooking" with Chef Bill Briwa
Second is: "The Everyday Gourmet: Baking Pastries and Desserts" with Chef Stephen L. Durfee
The newest is " The Everyday Gourmet: Making Healthy Food Taste Great" with Chef-Instructor Bill Briwa and Connie Guttersen, Nutrition Instructor.
Check out their catalog. You won't be disappointed.

Tomato Plant Update
By · CommentsNo tomatoes showing yet, but my tomato plants have grown quite a bit from the 3 inch size they were when I first published pictures of them. They are now about 3 – 3 1/2 feet high. I water them everyday and put Miracle Grow fertilizer in the sprinkler can, once a week. They like lots of sunshine and they get that here in Florida. I'm glad that I can grow at almost any time of the year. I can't wait until the first little flower shows up.
It looks like some of the plants have outgrown their pots already, so I'm going to re-pot them into the largest containers I can find at the Home Depot. I just replaced the 3 ft. stakes with 6 ft. stakes. I think the plants might get that high. I use twine to tie around the stems as they grow. I cut a strand of about 9″ to 12″ and loosely wrap around the stem and the bamboo stake, making a very loose double knot to keep it in place.
Something interesting I just learned about bamboo. It's really "grass" . I like to use natural products when I can. BTW, I purchased my heirloom seeds from http://seedrack.com. Every seed grew. I listed some other online seed companies in the "Links to Resources" category (button on top of page).
Back to the growing tomato plants. Since this is my first "container garden", I'm learning as I go along. Hopefully, you can benefit from my experience and mistakes. Plus, I'm building my supply cabinet with all the necessary equipment for the next crop. I'm going to add "pole beans" to the mix then. For sure I won't be able to step out on my porch. It Will look like a jungle. lol
Some plants need to be polinated by bees and other insects but I'm not about to let them onto my screened porch, so if need be, I can "self-polinate" them using a cotton swab on a thin stick (like a Q-Tip). I was told to touch the inside of the flower, then touch the inside of the next flower, just like a bee would transfer the pollen on it's little feet. I was amazed at hearing this. I'm growing "grape" tomatoes so I'd be a bit busy, lol. If anyone reading this polinated their flowers or vegetable plants themselves, I'd like to hear about your experience doing that. With your permission, I'll add your article to this blog as a guest post. You can hit the "contact button" at the top of any page to send a message or send me an email at: email@example.com.
I will keep everyone up to date on the tomatoes progress and as always, if you have any questions about information in my posts, hit the contact button on top of the page. Thank you for visiting Grandmainthekitchen.com.
Sea Scallops & Spaghetti, Yum !
By · CommentsThe difference between Sea Scallops and Bay Scallops is size.
Sea Scallops are about the size of a half dollar, or about 1 and 1/2 inches across. Bay Scallops are about the size of a nickel, or 3/4 of an inch across.
Both taste great when browned in olive oil and a little butter.
I make sure they are defrosted and rinsed well under cold running water. I let them drain a few minutes, then drop them into a warmed fry pan to which I have added extra virgin olive oil and about 2 tablespoons of butter. I bring up the heat under the pan so the scallops are at a low sizzle.
These need to be watched and turned over until they are opague in the center. They cook fast, in about 5 to 7 minutes. If they are over-cooked they will be chewey and rubbery.
I sprinkle a little "Old Bay" seasoning on them as they cook. If you don't have Old Bay, you can use a little ground pepper and paprika. If you like the taste of garlic, a little garlic powder adds a nice flavor too.
One thing about scallops or any type of seafood. They should defrost in your refrigerator overnight and be rinsed well in a collander before cooking. Don't leave them out on a counter to defrost. They need to remain cold until they are cooked. They can spoil.
They should NOT have a fishy odor if they are fresh or have defrosted properly.
Grandpa and I like them served with spaghetti and tomato sauce. Some restaurants serve them with rice and black beans, sweet potatoes and/or cole slaw, along with a bowl of clam chowder (Manhattan or New England style). Either way, sea scallops are a good and delicious source of protein.
Sweet Bay Scallops
By · CommentsOf all the shell-fish I have eaten, my absolute favorite is scallops. Those small bite-sized tender morsels that grow in fan-shaped ridged shells but are already shucked and come in large plastic bags in the supermarket. I like them pan-fried, or broiled, with a little Old Bay seasoning sprinkled over them. I like them plain, right out of the pan or sprinkled over a nice plate of spaghetti with tomato and basil sauce, yum!
I buy them frozen and rinse them in a colander under cold water until they defrost. They are small so it doesn't take very long to defrost them this way. I leave them drain in the colander for a minute, then drop them into a pan lined with paper towels. After the excess water has been blotted away, I put them into a warmed, olive oil coated, non-stick fry pan, on a low heat, just hot enough to make them slowly sizzle. Occasionally I will broil them in my toaster oven.
Once in a while I will coat them in an egg mixture, roll them in fine breadcrumbs and fry them in butter or olive oil. Either way, they cook in 4 or 5 minutes, so I stay next to the stove and flip them over several times as they cook. If over-cooked they can become tough and chewy so they need to be watched. When they are done, I sprinkle a little lemon juice on them.
There is a larger "sea scallop", about the size of a quarter. They are just as tasty, depending on how long you cook them and the seasonings you use. I prefer the smaller "bay scallops" as I think they are sweeter.
I've seen the larger scallops in restaurants, wrapped in bacon and broiled. They are very tasty when made this way but the bacon must be well-cooked. If they are broiled under too high a heat, the bacon can burn and the scallops may still not be cooked enough to eat. On the other hand, too low a heat and both the scallop and the bacon may not be cooked enough.
If ordered in a restaurant and they don't look sufficiently cooked when served, don't hesitate to ask your waitress if they can be cooked a little longer. Restaurants want their customers to leave happy so they will return another day.

Growing Tomatoes In Containers
By · Comments- Has anybody noticed the price of vegetables lately? While I certainly understand a farmers need to make a decent profit for growing and harvesting vegetables, some people may find it difficult to keep up with the costs of putting a healthy salad on the dinner table each night. Since I'm always looking for ways to save money, I've decided to grow tomatoes on my back porch in very large pots (containers).
This is a work in progress, so I will keep you updated with photo's and explain each step in the process, in case you would like to try your hand at container gardening too.
I'll be concentrating on planting and growing with "heirloom" seeds. They are seeds derived from vegetables that have been grown for generations, without being genetically modified. I have been doing a lot of research on genetically modified food and I will post my thoughts on that subject soon. Watch for new blog posts in this area as I gather information.
There are several seed companies I 've found on the internet that I think are reputable and will list their company names at the end of this post. You may want to check out their websites to see what interests you for your own garden, container or backyard.
I purchased a plant starting kit at my local Walmart. It has "growing pellets" that are used to start seedlings. Following directions which are included, I watered the pellets until thay expanded to look like little self-contained flower pots. I placed 3 seeds in the center of each little pot and sprinkled a little potting soil to cover them so the sun wouldn't dry them out and burn them, sprinked water over the top of each, an placed the tray in the sun on my porch. I water every other day which seems to be enough for them. I had 2 inch seedlings in 2 weeks.
The reason I planted 3 seeds in each little pot was to make sure at least one of the seedlings would be healthy enough to grow and produce tomatoes. I used potting soil especially for starting vegetables, which I purchased from my local Home Depot store. Not expensive, especially when I expect the yield of tomatoes will pay for themselves many times over.
When the seedlings were 2 inches tall, I put them in separate pots by themselves. I expect to be putting them into larger pots as they grow.
I should have planted only enough seeds for 5 or 6 plants but I planted all 25 that came in the package. I fully expect to go out on my porch one day and find a jungle out there! If it comes to that, some of my neighbors might enjoy a tomato plant of their own on their porch.
I plan on saving seed from tomatoes I grow, so I will have a continuous supply. I know I'm getting ahead of myself but I've had a garden before where I grew tomatoes and eggplant, which were quite delicious when taken right off the vine and cooked immediately. I will try to grow eggplant in a container if I am successful with the tomatoes. BTW, I am growing "grape tomatoes" which are the size of large grapes and sooooo good.
There are many seed companies online. You can Google "heirloom seeds" to find them. I am familiar with the ones listed.
The Whatcom Seed Company at: http://seedrack.com
Solutions From Science:
The Sprout People at: http://www.sproutpeople .org (You can grow sprouts in your kitchen).
Also, check out: http://www.localharvest.org for a local organic farm in your area.
Here in South Florida, the local farm in Lake Worth sponsored classes in "Growing Herbs and Fruit Trees in Containers". They have other classes in growing, composting, etc. Find one close to you for local produce and ask about classes. They may also have a food cooperative plan where you can buy in bulk. Stay tuned…..
Like German Cooking? See These Video's And More
By · CommentsI found some wonderful video's to learn how to cook German style, like my father's mother used to. You can see them at the GermanDeli.com. The following link will take you there:
I especially liked the video on how to make German Dumplings. My Grandmother would agree. I can still see her dropping spoonfuls of batter into the large soup pot she had on the stove. We kept her busy because we were eating them as they finished cooking. Nanny didn't mind. She thought it was quite funny.
There is also a video on making German Sauerkraut and Weiner Schnitzel. I know you will enjoy watching and learning as I did. Please mention Grandmainthekitchen.com when you visit. Thank you,

Tillapia Paprika, with Butter And Garlic, Oh My!
By · CommentsAs a child, I remember my father and grandfather going out "deep sea fishing" off of Montauk Point on Long Island, New York. They'd leave very early in the morning to get a seat on one of the big boats that left the dock by 6 a.m. They'd be gone most of the day and always brought a fish home to the dismay of my poor mother who always got the job of cleaning it. She did so without complaint, especially if they "scaled"it and hosed it off with water before they brought it in the door.
I remember thinking "who would want to get up so early in the morning just to go out in the water to catch a fish?" The first time they brought home a Cod fish. It was huge. It was longer than the kitchen sink without the head and tail which we never saw because Dad removed them when he scaled it. Probably because he knew we would feel sorry for it and wouldn't eat the fish if we saw it's head being removed. Up until then, the only fish I saw was in a small fish tank. A Guppy and a Goldfish to be exact.
Mom managed to get it in the oven and baked it for what seemed like hours. We, the three oldest kids, were all anxious to see what it tasted like. Mom reminded us that Cod was the same fish the corner deli put in it's fish cakes, (cod blended with potatoes and made into little hamburger-like patties).
Right then and there we got our first lesson in how to eat fish, shredding it between our fingers to check for tiny bones that could get stuck in our throats. Some of them were so thin they looked like white hair. But we all managed to get through dinner and we proudly told all our friends the next day how Dad and Grandpa caught the biggest fish we'd ever seen and we ate it. A true fish story.
Thank goodness the fish I buy in the supermarket are not as "bony" as I remember fish to be. If I buy frozen Flounder, it may have some hair bones but remembering what I was taught, I'm a pro at removing them with no problem.
Tillapia, being from fish farms, doesn't seem to have any type of bones. At least, I've never found any in all the Tillapia I've cooked and eaten. I'm still careful, though. I check every bit of it before I swallow any. By now, the lesson is ingrained in my head.
When I buy fresh Tillapia, I make sure it's fresh, without any fish smell. If it has an odor, it usually means it's been in the cold case a little longer than it should and I'll pass on it that day.
Before I put any seasoning on fish, I rinse it under cold water, let the water run off as much as possible and place it in a gallon size plastic bag to which I have already added paprika, salt and pepper. Sometimes I will add bread crumbs to the mix to coat the fish lightly.
I place the coated fish in a shallow baking dish or foil lined pan to which I have sprayed a little olive oil on the bottom to prevent sticking, dab some pieces of butter on top of each piece of fish or spray some olive oil over the top of the fish, so it doesn't dry out and bake it uncovered in the oven. Sometimes I wrap it in heavy duty aluminum foil and place it on the center rack in the oven. That keeps it moist and the flavors infuse into the fish better. It's all a matter of how you want it to taste.
Either way, 20 to 25 minutes is usually all the time it takes. You'll know it's done when it's opague white inside and flakes with a fork.
You can coat and cook any kind of fish the same way. Flounder, Fluke, Cod fillet or Haddock. Squeeze a little lemon juice on those types of fish if you don't like the taste of fish in general. I do that, except I don't need the juice for Tillapia. It has a bland taste by itself and I find the seasoning to be enough.
Watch for my next post where I show you how I prepare Patagonia scallops, or what we used to call "bay scallops" in New York.
Make Sensational Sausage On Your Stovetop
By · CommentsThere are a number of ways to prepare sausage. Some people bar-b-que them on a grill in the backyard, some bake them in the oven or microwave. They can even be deep fried in canola oil. My mother's method of boiling them first before browning them in a frying pan has been my favorite. They are very tasty when prepared this way, as I believe you will agree.
I rinse the sausage off when I take them out of the package and put them in a large fry pan. Rinsing makes sure they are free of any foreign material that may have stuck to them in the packaging process.
Fill the pan with just enough cold water to cover the sausage and put the pan on the largest grid you have on your stove. The grid should be approximately the size of the bottom of your pan, to distribute heat evenly so the sausage will all cook at the same time. Pork sausage should always be cooked thoroughly.
Set the temperature to medium-high until the water starts to boil, then lower it until the water is at a slow boil. It's a good idea to cover the pan with a splatter screen, a very useful kitchen tool, so grease doesn't get all over your stove but you can still watch the sausage cooking and the water level in the pan. Make sure the handles of your pan and splatter screen are always pointed toward the center of the cooktop so you don't bump it and get burned with scalding water.
As the skin of the sausage starts to turn gray, poke the sausage in several places with a fork. Turn them over in the water and poke them on the other side also, being careful not to splash the water on you. This helps the fat in the sausage excape through the holes and winds up in the pan of water.
Continue boiling the sausage until most of the water has evaporated. It might take 45 minutes to an hour to make them this way so leave enough time before you serve them. You will like their flavor with very little fat.
Temporarily remove them from the pan and place in a bowl or on a plate, then rinse the pan out and place it back on the stove until it is nearly dry.
Lower the heat and put the sausage back into the pan to brown them, adding a little olive oil to the pan. Turn them over several times. This only takes a few minutes more but they will taste soooo good.
They are ready to eat as they are (try a slice), or you can now add them to a pot of tomato sauce where they will absorb some of the tomato flavor and soften slightly. Serve them with a bowl of spaghetti and Parmesan cheese on top.
You can also cut them in half and put them on a hamburger roll or a hotdog bun with all the toppings that you like (fried onions, pickle relish, mustard, ketchup), or just plain, as they are that good.
Serve them with brown or white rice and a helping of cut green beans, broccoli, or any vegetable you like, for a complete main dish. I know you will enjoy sausage when they are made this way.

Maria Sharapova climbs back to the top ranking
Date: June 8, 2012
by: Mallory Gnaegy | Community Editor
There are plenty of tennis players on Longboat Key but none rival the likes of the newly No. 1 ranked woman's tennis player, Maria Sharapova, whose parents live on the island. Sharpova took victory over Petra Kvitova at Roland Garros Thursday. On Saturday, she could take her first French Open victory as well as a career Grand Slam: Australian Open, Wimbledon, US Open and French Open. She will be the tenth woman to win the major tournaments.

I just made a batch of chocolates that taste great, but have bloom. I am suspecting the problem is the molds were not properly cleaned as there was no bloom on the chocolate on the bottom of the chocolates. I have had similiar problems before.
Does anybody have a suggestion for how to clean the molds really well by hand (I don't have a dishwasher), or is there a good cleaning solution to use?
Tried it again with very very hot water and doubling the lye and I still have a film, just not as thick. I wish I had access to whatever solution you're using Brad, as I just have food grade lye, and now I'm out of that. A few questions:
Do you soak your molds in the Sodium Hydroxide solution for some amount if time or do you just swish them around in it?
I'm rinsing the molds in a bucket of hot water. Maybe I want to run hot water from a sprayer?
I'm using a solution of 5 oz Sodium Hydroxide to 15 pints of water, or about 2% Sodium Hydroxide. Clearly that's not enough. What % do you think your solution comes out to?
I can't get any food grade lye around here, I have to order it. I can get pure Sodium Hydroxide crystals, but I don't know if it's food grade or what that means. It's sold as a drain cleaner. But if I rinse it, SH should be gone either way. Do you think that's safe?
What's the brand name of the product you use?
What is the film? Is it soap (sodium hydroxide+fat from the cocoa butter=soap)? Can I just polish it off or should I clean the molds with Dawn?
I'm about to try a 4:1 solution of Greased Lightning on one of my molds that has the film. I'll post how it goes.
Greased Lightning leaves a scent on your molds so don't use it. I tried it on a mold I never use. Dawn and water got rid of the film.
I'll try Sodium Hydroxide again later.
Hi All,
being absent for a while..busy re-locating my factory.
We buy SH directly from a chemical factory in liquid for (40% concentration), the crystals are just 100% pure so you need to be careful with the amount used and take enormous precautions while handling it!
We fill our sink with hot water and add SH, we soak for a while the molds and then rinse in hot water while gently scrubbing. Our results are not yet 100% but we are happy with it so far.
We are going to test a higher solution (till water turn pink as per Brad instruction)
Definitely is a matter of creating a "recipe":
X % SH @X% concentration for X amount of Liter of Hot water...
Let's see who can crack this mystery of cleaning!!!
I once had difficulty getting my molds clean. However I bought a standard Bosch dishwasher which has a disinfectant cycle that gets hotter than most dishwashers. I believe that the heat factor is important for the complete elimination of the cocoa butter. I use Cascade Advanced Power liquid and voila... clean molds. Immediately when washing and rinsing are finished I hand dry them with a soft cotton cloth which both dries them and polishes them. The results are fantastic! I use primarily molds with smooth shapes and get excellent shine.

The Cool the Panhandle Funky Bicycle Fest will be held in a local park and will include an organized bicycle ride through our downtown area. Following the ride, cyclists will gather in the park to display their bicycles for the Funky Bicycle Contest. Each contest entry will be required to include some type of climate change/energy saving message or display as part of the "funkiness" of their bicycle. Bicycle tune-ups and safety checks, safety information, and demonstrations of how to outfit a bicycle for commuting will be held during the Fest. We will include solar and/or pedal-powered musical entertainment. We believe that if we make bicycling fun and attractive, we will attract more people to biking, the lagniappe being fewer automobiles on the streets. We can then step up our efforts to make our city friendlier to bicyclists and pedestrians through initiatives like more bicycle racks, shade trees, and changes to our streets that calm automobile traffic.
The Fest will be held in Pensacola, one of America's oldest cities. Many downtown streets are actually friendly to bicycling, yet very few people ride bicycles. In recent months, we have directly experienced drought, heat waves, and flooding.
The Fest will take place on a Saturday in October or November 2012.
Change the culture of our community to one that encourages bicycling and a smaller carbon footprint.
Is your project a new idea, or was it initiated after November 2011?: This theme is new.

"According to a new study, about a third of big companies in the United States and Britain hire employees to read and analyze outbound e-mail," Reuters reports.
˜Tens of Thousands of Somalians Demonstrate Against U.S. Support for Militias
Last month, the Washington Post reported the Bush administration was "secretly supporting secular warlords" in Somalia "who have been waging fierce battles against Islamic groups for control of the capital, Mogadishu." Some of these warlords reportedly "fought against the United States in 1993 during street battles that culminated in an attack that downed two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters and left 18 Army Rangers dead."
U.S. support for these militias upset the Somali prime minister, who said, "We would prefer that the U.S. work with the transitional government and not with criminals. … This is a dangerous game. Somalia is not a stable place and we want the U.S. in Somalia. But in a more constructive way."
He's not the only Somalian upset with the policy. Reuters reports today:
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Mogadishu on Friday angrily condemning the United States for supporting warlords involved in clashes with Islamic militias that claimed 16 more lives overnight. ["¦]
Some 350 people have been killed in three bouts of heavy fighting since the start of the year in the fighting that had focused on the capital but has now moved beyond Mogadishu.
The policy of supporting the "enemy of the enemy" is further destabilizing Somalia, but a shift in policy is unlikely. Last week, the State Department transferred Michale Zorick, the former political affairs officer for Somalia, to a different post after he spoke out against supporting the warlords.
Key Fact In National Review's Global Warming Article Is 'Completely Wrong'
In the June 5 global warming cover story in the print edition of the National Review, scientist Curt Davis said author Jason Steorts completely misrepresented his study to argue that Antartica gained ice between 1992 and 2003. Steorts now maintains he omitted the fact that Davis' study only covered the eastern interior of the continent – and did not consider the western and costal areas that other studies show are losing mass at a rapid pace — "for the sake of brevity."
In his cover story, Steorts then references a study by Isabella Velicogna that examined the whole continent from 2002 to 2005 and found is was losing substantial amounts of ice. But Steorts provides this rebuttal:
2002 "" the year in which the study began "" was a high-water mark for Antarctic ice, so it's not too surprising to see some decline since then. Alarmism over Velicogna's study is on the order of going to the beach at high tide, drawing a line at the water's edge, and fretting a few hours later that the oceans are drying up.
The original article does not provide a source for the claim that 2002 "was a high-water mark for Antarctic ice" but in an online piece today Steorts said that he was told that information from the CATO Institute's Patrick Michaels.
ThinkProgress talked to Patrick Michaels this afternoon. Michaels said he was referring to a graph in the study by Curt Davis. ThinkProgress then called Curt Davis. Here is what he had to say:
If Michaels is using my study to claim that 2002 was a high water mark in terms of ice for all Antartica, that is completely wrong. My study result only demonstrated this for the interior of East Antarctica. You can't use that for Antartica as a whole because the coastal areas of the ice sheet were not included in my analysis. My study clearly stated that the overall mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet depends on the sum of the contributions from the interior and coastal areas.
So it's the same shell game again. Take a finding for the interior of the eastern part of the continent and pretend the whole continent is gaining ice, even though studies show the western and coastal areas are losing ice at a rapid pace.
Steorts now claims these serious factual errors are immaterial. In his most recent online commentary, Steorts says his article "hinges neither on the question whether Antarctica is presently gaining or losing ice." That's odd considering it was promoted on the cover of the National Review with the title "Snow Job: The Truth About the Great Overhyped Glacier Melt." Seems like what's happening to the ice is a pretty central point.
Conservative Lawmakers Shaft Mine Safety
31 coal miners have died on job this year, compared with 22 deaths in all of 2005. The House is set to take up the Senate-passed mine safety bill, but conservative lawmakers are resisting inserting three amendments offered by Rep. George Miller (D-CA) that would strengthen workplace safety for miners:
– Require the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration to randomly check self-rescuer devices upon which miners' lives depend in an emergency to ensure they are in working order;
– Provide that the air stored underground for trapped miners under the Senate legislation last for a minimum of 48 hours through a chamber or cache; and
– Provide that communication and tracking devices required under the Senate legislation be required in 15 months rather than the 3 years specified.
Rep. Charlie Norwood (R-GA) attacked Miller for "delaying" the bill, Rep. Shelly Moore Caputo (R-WV) called the amendments "totally unreasonable," and Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA) said Miller is being "irresponsible."
These amendments target key weaknesses in mine safety. For example, only one miner in the Sago mine died in the initial blast. The other 11 died waiting for rescue. The Senate verison of the bill currently requires only enough breathable air to last miners for a vague "sustained" period of time. The West Virginia Mine Safety Technology Task Force, like Miller, recommends 48 hours worth of air.
The WV task force has concluded Miller's amendments are feasible with existing technology and the families from the Sago disaster support them. The only thing "irresponsible" in this situation is the conservative resistance to strengthening legislation that would save miners' lives.
Confined Space has more.
Bush schedules pandering session for Monday.
AP reports, "President Bush will promote a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage on Monday, the eve of a scheduled Senate vote on the cause that is dear to his conservative backers." The amendment "stands little chance of passing the 100-member Senate," where it needs 2/3 support.
CEI Defends Chewing Tobacco's Honor
The Competitive Enterprise Institute – the same group that is trashing Al Gore's global warming movie with deceptive advertisements – has risen to the defense of chewing tobacco.
A recent blog post on CEI's website titled "Smokeless Tobacco: It's Not Just for Rednecks and Ball Players Anymore" warns those arguing chewing tobacco is not safe "might be costing people their lives." The post links to two websites, For Smokers Only and TobaccoHarmReduction.org that promote chewing tobacco as a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes.
Both sites receive funding by the United States Smokeless Tobacco Company which produces Copenhagen, Skoal, Rooster and other popular brands of chewing tobacco.
Here's what the World Health Organization has to say about chewing tobacco:
Oral tobacco has been recognized since at least the 1980s to cause addiction, several forms of cancer and various dental diseases. The adverse health effects of oral tobacco mixtures have been extensively reviewed. All concur that smokeless tobacco products contain addictive levels of nicotine, many carcinogens, heavy metals, and other toxins, though recognizing that the levels of nicotine and toxins vary widely across products.
In general, oral tobacco products are highly addictive, and typically contain several carcinogens that cause head, neck and throat cancers with high rates of premature mortality.
Dipping: they say it causes cancer, we call it life.

A federal grand jury has subpoenaed California's San Bernardino County for records connected to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis (R-CA) and a lobbying firm with strong ties to Lewis.
Bush's nomination of Henry Paulson to be Treasury Secretary has riled some conservatives, who now want to "find a senator who will place a hold on the nomination." Paulson chaired the Nature Conservancy and supports the Kyoto Protocol. "He's a lefty Nature Conservancy nut," said one "outside-the-White House adviser."
An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's new movie about global warming, opens today in cities in California, Connecticut, DC, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. See if it's playing in your town.
The Justice Department and Alaska have exercised a clause allowing them to receive more funding to clean up the Exxon Valdez oil spill. "They announced in a statement that they would seek $92 million from Exxon Mobil to clean up stubborn patches of oil, whose most toxic components, they say, have not dissipated since the spill in 1989."

via VG247.Dragon Age 3 will bring back character customization to the series in a big way, and some the levels are going to be rather large, according to BioWare.
Speaking during a panel during the the Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo today in Canada, cinematic designer Jon Perry said one level in Dragon Age 3 is as big as all of the levels in Dragon Age 2.
Not be outdone in the guess-what-else-is-bigger department, creative director Mike Laidlaw added that customization is going to be bigger than Dragon Age Origins, and that players will also be able to customize their followers.
Players will also be able to control their own castle, and character choices from previous games will be importable. According to executive producer Mark Darrah, the team is looking into ways to do this without save imports.
Series writer David Gaider also added during the panel that players will be human, and that backgrounds will be in Dragon Age 3 even though you will be human, its not playable but it does significant impact on the story. Were not too clear on that bit, but you can read the tweets from the games producer Cameron Lee yourself here.
Also, Flemeth the shapeshifter, known as the Witch of the Wilds will be in the game in some capacity, because according to Laidlaw: It feels wrong to not have a little Flemeth in your game.
Dragon Age 3: Inquisition is slated for a late fall release in 2013.
Sounds good, apart from managing your own castle. But that's just me.

One lvl is as big as all the lvls in da 2? Not hard when it was just like 5 zones and two dungeon modles reused over and over lol
zex494 wants to slowly undress this post.
10-20-2012 #3
Yeah, "dungeons" is not something DA2 tried hard at, same rooms connected in different ways, and with alternative doors blocked off.
Despite the modellers laziness, I enjoyed DA2.
I just would never have paid full price for it it.
It cut some major modelling corners.
10-21-2012 #4
I got bored of DA2 about 2/3 in a just haven't gotten back to trying to finish it. Not sure if I'm ready or interested in another DA. Considering how much they changed to the detriment for DA2 and ME3 I sometimes wonder if maybe Bioware is following SquareEnix off the top of the RPG totem pole.

Environmental Action
The Tillotson Building's
Sustainable Design Features:
On the PC(USA) environmental web site, the Sustainable Design Features of Village Church's Tillotson Building (aka the Food Pantry) are highlighted. This information was provided by Rev. Dwight Tawney to Katie Holmes, coordinator of Environmental Ministries.
This story can be read at the following link:
Under the heading Share Your Story are highlighted 4 Presbyterian churches are that are making environmental stewardship part of their ministry through worship, education, facilities, and outreach projects that respond to our call to till and keep the garden. Village Church is the fourth story:
The Tillotson Building at Village Presbyterian Church, which was built with sustainable design techniques. Photo provided by Village Presbyterian Church.
"The Tillotson Building, which houses the food pantry and clothes bank at Village Presbyterian Church in Prairie Village, Kansas, was built using sustainable design techniques. These include high efficiency lighting, refrigeration, heating and cooling; increased use of natural lighting; a demonstration photovoltaic array that provides solar electricity and opportunities for public education; interior finishes that do not contain harmful VOCs; heat reflective roofing and water efficient systems, including a rain garden and sub drainage system to return rainwater to the ground."

We see celebs doing amazing things, but sometimes it's great to see someone your age (or close to your age) doing her thing! We found four young women who have set out on the path of their passion and developed amazing businesses. Check out what they've done and see if they have any ideas that would inspire you!
Jessica Butcher is the creator of Blippar, an interactive experience that allows you to create augmented reality layers to pictures on your phone. Her clients include Nike, Unilever, & Mercedes. Get this girls… shes only 34 years old.
Theresa Fette is another 34 year old doing her thing. She found a problem in the area of retirement planning, and built a business around what she saw as the solution. Theresa now owns a company with about 5 million in client assets.
Christiane Lemieux found out she was really good at displaying fashion-driven home decor pieces while working for someone else. The positive feedback inspired her to create her own company, DwellStudio. She now has a retail store inside of the famous ABC Home & Carpet in NYC. She is a good example of taking note of what you're good at and parlaying that into a very lucrative business.
There are very few resources in finance that appeal to young women. Alexa Von Tobel took it upon herself to create a business that would address that issue. She created LearnVest, a company that connects young women with financial planners. By the way, Alexa is 28!
Ladies, start thinking about your passion and how you could expand that into a business. Don't be discouraged by their success, be encouraged knowing that if they can do it… so can you!

In your opinion, what is the best, most goddamned manly movie ever made in the history of movies?
My personal favorite goes to "Steel Dawn", with Patrick Swayze playing this bad-ass desert-wandering sword fighter, who goes into this town and saves it by beating up a shit ton of evil bandit guys who want to take all the water. I not only consider it a truly "manly" movie, but also one of the best movies from the 80's, and perhaps of all time. It's pretty darn good in my personal opinion, even though not many people seem to know about it.
What are your guys' favs?
There a lot out there to choose from. I'd say The Devil's Brigade closely followed by The Great Escape and The Longest Day. Yes they are all WW2 movies but it wasn't called the greatest generation for nothing! Also, they are real folks performing real heroics.
"The Great Escape" is number one. Definitely. Also the 1930 version of "All Quiet on the Western Front." Might as well throw in "The Bridge Over the River Kwai," too.
Lonesome Dove.....
This movie. And Band of Brothers
The Warriors, Fight Club, Gallipoli, Predator.
For pure camp and ridiculousness:
Shoot Em Up
For deeper character and integrity:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Rev. Sykes: "Miss Jean Louise. Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing"
A Man for All Seasons. A man stands by his principals until the end, no matter what the cost.
Um, Thomas More tortured men for owning a bible in their own language. Playwright Bolt left that part out. Not manly.
Tombstone or Inglorious Basterds. Possibly Pulp Fiction.
Tin Men! Danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfus. Some funny, funny guy stuff! Just the best!
Tombstone is pretty badass. There certainly are a whole shitbag of movies that one can choose, that is for sure. I'm a little surprised though that no one mentioned movies by renowned ass kickers such as Van Damme, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, etc. Bloodsport is also one of my favs, depending on the day, I may actually give the title of the manliest movie ever made to Bloodsport, over Steel Dawn. But this is like picking between chocolate ice cream and pineapple smoothie, both are real damn good.
Plus... Hell in the Pacific has Toshirô Mifune!

CHAPTER VIII. Concerning Coutances and Some Parts of the Cotentin
When at last it is necessary to bid farewell to Mont St Michel, one is not compelled to lose sight of the distant grey silhouette for a long while. It remains in sight across the buttercup fields and sunny pastures on the road to Pontaubault. Then again, when climbing the zig-zag hill towards Avranches the Bay of Mont St Michel is spread out. You may see the mount again from Avranches itself, and then if you follow the coast-road towards Granville instead of the rather monotonous road that goes to its destination with the directness of a gun-shot, there are further views of the wonderful rock and its humble companion Tombelaine.
Keeping along this pretty road through the little village of Genets, where you actually touch the ocean, there is much pretty scenery to be enjoyed all the way to the busy town of Granville. It is a watering-place and a port, the two aspects of the town being divided from each other by the great rocky promontory of Lihou. If one climbs up right above the place this conformation is plainly visible, for down below is the stretch of sandy beach, with its frailly constructed concert rooms and cafes sheltering under the gaunt red cliffs, while over the shoulder of the peninsula appears a glimpse of the piers and the masts of sailing ships. There is much that is picturesque in the seaport side of the town, particularly towards evening, when the red and green harbour-lights are reflected in the sea. There are usually five or six sailing ships loading or discharging their cargoes by the quays, and you will generally find a British tramp steamer lying against one of the wharves. The sturdy crocketed spire of the sombre old church of Notre Dame stands out above the long line of shuttered houses down by the harbour. It is a wonderful contrast, this old portion of Granville that surmounts the promontory, to the ephemeral and gay aspect of the watering-place on the northern side. But these sort of contrasts are to be found elsewhere than at Granville, for at Dieppe it is much the same, although the view of that popular resort that is most familiar in England, is the hideous casino and the wide sweep of gardens that occupy the sea-front. Those who have not been there would scarcely believe that the town possesses a castle perched upon towering cliffs, or that its splendid old church of Saint-Jacques is the real glory of the place. Granville cannot boast of quite so much in the way of antiquities, but there is something peculiarly fascinating about its dark church, in which the light seems unable to penetrate, and whose walls assume almost the same tones as the rocks from which the masonry was hewn.

The folks behind Burien's original and first local blog include:
- Scott Schaefer, Founder/Publisher/Editor: With three National Emmy Awards for Writing on "Bill Nye the Science Guy" and over 25 years' experience in TV/video, multimedia, marketing/advertising, technology and the internet, Scott started The B-Town Blog as a hobby and has since turned it into a full-time business. His other credits include as a Director on "Penn & Teller:Bullsh*t!" (Showtime), "The Arsenio Hall Show" (Paramount), "Sightings" (Paramount), "Totally Hidden Video" (Fox), "America's Funniest People" (ABC), Fox On-Air Promotions and KING-TV's "Almost Live!" where he got his start in 1985. Connect with Scott on LinkedIn here.
- Michael Brunk, Photographer/Technical Guru. With a love of photography that spans more than 20 years, Michael has fond memories of film but wouldn't give up his digital SLR for anything. His checkered past includes stints as a monthly columnist for a nationally published magazine on telecommunications and technology and several years reviewing movies. He's also been known to dabble in community theater. His main qualifications are a large camera and free time. He also builds and maintains the code that runs our sites.
- Jack Mayne, Senior Reporter. Jack Mayne has done about all there is to do in print journalism. He has been city editor of the Seattle P.I. back in its glory days, edited the Journal American in Bellevue and Valley Daily News in Kent in the 1990s. Before that he was a freelance international journalist and reported from South Africa, China, visited over 80 countries and even covered a colonial war in the 20th century between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the desolate Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic. He got his start at the Vancouver Province, thence to The Associated Press, becoming chief of the New England bureau, but a desire of AP to send him to Buffalo, N.Y., drove him back to Seattle. With writing for print becoming quaint and dated, he is now setting his sights on Web journalism and has written several stories for the B-Town Blog and plans many more.
- Ralph Nichols, Senior Reporter. Ralph specializes in public policy and legal issues, medical matters, and business profiles. For several years, he was an editor, reporter, and columnist for the Highline Times. Previously he worked in the Seattle area, Alaska and Idaho as a reporter for daily newspapers, United Press International, and trade publications; as a state capitol bureau chief and columnist; and a public relations writer and project manager.
- Mark Neuman, Writer/Marketing: former real-world Journalist, TV Host, Producer and Marketer, Mark is an old friend of Scott's going back to when they worked on their high school newspaper together (West Seattle High's "Chinook"). Mark has interviewed two US Presidents, cops, cooks and cartoonists, authors and artists, senators, singers, scholars and senior citizens, along with the first Mayor of Burien and a local man running for State Superior Court.
- Bryan Charles, Intern, Big Picture High School. Bryan, 16, is an Artist/Animator who has created an original ongoing cartoon series called '3 Frog Bros.'
- Shawn Underwood, Humor Columnist: Twenty-five years of living in Burien gives this Humorist much fodder for her writings. All of her stories are true, or at least have a grain of truth with no added embellishments.Or something like that.
- Joy Steele, Sales Manager/Columnist. Joy served as both Sales Manager and a Humor Columnist before her own business got too busy. She wrote "Missed Congeniality," an observational column in the spirit of Erma Bombeck.
Janet Grella, Sales Director/Diva from 2009-2011. She is now happily retired and taking Italian lessons so she can travel there to enjoy life with her husband. - Bart Bryan, Sales Dude/Video Host/Fundraiser. Another old friend of Scott's from high school, Bart is a happy, funny, outgoing man who loves his community. He has served as both a Sales Rep as well as On-Camera Video Host (see his hilarious Polar Bear Plunge videos here), and you'll also see him at any number of fundraising events we support, including as Host.
- Philip Benais, Intern, Big Picture High School. Philip, 17, writes movie reviews for the Blog. His writing style is years beyond his age, and he's got a lot of passion for a teenager.
- Kristen Kerns, Sales. Kristen is a very active, community-minded local resident who does a ton of volunteer work for fundraisers like Cove to Clover, the Burien Brat Trot and many others.

The Club Christmas Party turned out awesome!
We had a great turn out and had a lot of fun. For those that were unable to attend, we hope you will join us next year.
We started with the potluck. Michelle made a great ham and my wife made some dutch oven roast turkey. We had a lot of great food including all kinds of salads, desserts, rolls, you name it we had it. It has always amazed me how non-assigned pot lucks…

Joe Jonas Stole Shots For Music Video?
According to The Wrap Joe Jonas may have committed plagiarism. Joe Jonas's new video 'Just In Love' is so similar to the low-budget indie drama 'For Lovers Only' that fans are furious. The writer said: 'It's very disheartening..
..that a fellow director would go to those lengths to copy 'For Lovers Only' and not credit us. If they had said our film was their inspiration, we would have been flattered. But nowhere in any of their materials..
..do they say that we were an influence on them, which is upsetting to us as artists. And it makes this feel like plagiarism.' Kevin Jonas Sr., the manager of Joe Jonas, did not respond to messages left at his office.
Watch the videos under. Do YOU think Joe is guilty of plagiarism?

I'm Roger a.k.a. Dat Roro Kid. Apologies for the length in advance, sit back and enjoy your breakfast this fine morning but I wouldn't get used to it if I were you.
The Dude has graciously asked me to be a contributor here on FinsNation once we move over to the new MVN site. The minute he asked me I absolutely jumped at this opportunity as I've been reading the site since the old Miami Sports Dude days and figured this to be one of the more entertaining and informative sports blogs out there. It also can't hurt that it strictly adheres to covering the Miami Dolphins, a team/concept/extrapolation of my very soul that occupies nearly 68% of my thinking brain on a daily basis (other 32%?? Maaaan, you're gonna find out). My single greatest hope here is to add to (what I feel) is an already outstanding site and make it even more insatiably kickass.
In an effort to solidify our gay bond last weekend while I was in Miami, I received via Thomas Pynchon-like Tristero code an 'order' to meet the actual Dude. You know what? He's handsome, well-mannered and knowledgeable about all things Miami sports – and that really pisses me off. I should be the only handsome blogger/contributor guy on this site and my mother reinforced that in me when I drunkenly visited her after my Saturday night hang out with the Dude (True story). So I'll say he's completely awesome even if he does irk me with his cool demeanor, square jaw, decision to eat a Philly chicken (instead of going for the O.G. cheese steak) and his wearing of a white t-shirt under his button down – effectively negating what might have been a sicko, Hispanic, couple-of-buttons-buttoned look. In fact, here's a photo from that meeting:
No? Fine! The only real difference between this picture above and the scene at Flannigan's in Coconut Grove* on Saturday night (FinsNation sponsorship pending*) was that we had A LOT more drinks (ok, maybe that was just me), some delicious chicken wings and are going to be way more legendary than these historically regal individuals. I could tell you everything we talked about there including family, heritage, Marlins, world domination and assdickjokery at TittyBall Junction (a concept I hope to make you appreciate in due time) but this would ultimately ruin the surprise, wouldn't it? I then proceeded to roll him out to several ever-stranger events culminating in a Schematic Records show. As previously stated, the show featured robots with Vote for Ron Paul signs but it also included all forms of sluts, debauchery and a contest in which the "winner" was based on a performance where a dude played some noise and got his ass kicked. Gotta love the Churchill's (shit, Mudhoney played there? Sometimes you fall hard).
I'll wrap up this dick-wag by saying a little bit about myself:
I was born of Cuban parents in Miami and raised in that beloved/wretched town for 26 years. I had early and deep love for the Dolphins throughout childhood and adulthood except for a brief period of time where I listened to nothing but weirdo noise music and toured the country a few times a year. I moved to NY to pursue rock and roll dreams and money. I may eventually get a tiny bit of the latter of those two as I found, after 26 years in Miami, that it is really fucking hard to make any real money there. Really!! I enjoy weird music and art (if you see something that looks or sounds weird to you, then we'll just assume I might like it and you may feel free to recommend it).
I tan well, I drink better, I fuck awesome and I absolutely live for your Miami Dolphins. I experience boundless glee if we win and irrevocable sadness if we lose. I believe in running the fucking ball when you have a good running back and a decent offensive line. I believe in developing an attitude (not 'The Code') and utilizing the talents of your players to make up the identity of your team. I believe Cam Cameron had this completely ass-backwards when you've got certain guys that can provide a spark sitting on the bench for months on end and you haven't won a single game. I like how we 'built the trenches' in the draft this year. A good counter running play that gains 6-7 solid yards will literally (and quite suddenly) inflame my cock like the Human Torch. Sprinkle in a few big plays downfield on offense and some pressure along the defensive line to help out the DBs and I will give you bedroom eyes after the game. I despise Armando Salguero for his absolutely relentless shitbagging of the Miami Dolphins spirit. I also believe that Tony Sparano is knee-deep in hate sex. No one knows this and the organization is doing its best to keep this very, very tight-lipped but I will pity his wife after a loss because then it's off to the Sparano Dungeon for hours of medieval tools and hell-bent depravity.
So we better not lose. Not even once because the howls of delight and horror will be heard from the Fort Pierce rest stop to Key West – and beyond. Just look at the guy. Sadness and hate. Sadness and hate.
So now America, with an open heart and an empty stomach, I say unto you in the words of my uncle: Allez Cuisine!
Shit. That's from Iron Chef America, isn't it?
Ok, then. Let's get those asses rrrreeeeeeaaaaaaallllll swampy. Training Camp starts in 9 days!!!!!

Often described as a "painter" of films, French director Robert Bresson was one of cinema's greatest anomalies. He directed only 13 films over the course of 40 years, but these films were in a category all their own, minimalist works that tended towards radical (and sometimes controversial) reinterpretations of such classical sources as Diderot, Dostoyevsky, and Tolstoy. An expert manipulator of narrative incident, Bresson focused on seemingly incidental details of the stories he told and used amateur actors lacking any trace of theatricality, creating searching meditations on the quality of transcendence, spirituality, and alienation.
The year of Bresson's birth has often been subject to debate; his biographer, Philippe Arnaud, has declared it to be 1901, while others claim that he was born in 1907. Whatever the case may be, Bresson was born on September 25, in the town of Bromont-Lamothe, located in France's mountainous Auvergne region. Originally trained as a painter, he abandoned painting in favor of the cinema in 1934. His first film, a short comedy called Les Affaires Publiques, went largely unseen. In 1939, Bresson joined the French army and spent a year as a POW in a German war camp. The experience had a profound effect on him and would later prove to be a particular influence in his making of Un Condamné à Mort C'Est Echappé (A Man Escaped).

Custom-made in Japan
Japan! Where does one begin when talking about its traditions that span over twenty centuries? While living in Japan from 1996 to 1999, I used to breathe a sigh of relief when I found a Western-style toilet in a restaurant. Japanese inns made for a difficult night of sleep because the traditional pillows resembled cloth bags packed with dried pinto beans and the futon just didn't have the same comfortable give of a mattress; I found myself choosing the beds of the Hilton or Holiday Inn. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the modern, "real" Japan suited my tastes. I knew that less than a hundred years ago, I wouldn't have had such choices--it was amazing that a country with more than 2000 years of history had changed so much in a mere century.
But the dark side of this change was all too apparent. I met Ms. Murata, a country woman who makes her own indigo dye from the leaves of the ai plant. She's one of only a handful of people who still do so; naturally-made indigo has been almost obliterated by new synthetic dyes. I befriended Mr. Toji, a man who for 30 years has been playing the shakuhachi bamboo flute, one of Japan's traditional musical instruments, which dates back to the 7th century A.D! Six years ago, he had moved to a remote area in the mountains where the pace of life is still slow, to teach lessons and craft his own flutes. Kyoto had become too frenetic and fewer people were opting to take the time necessary to learn to play the shakuhachi. These artisans all told me the same story--their traditions and many others like them, are quickly dying.
The idea for the Japanese Connection was conceived to expand the audience and potential pupils for a small (yet huge!) niche of Japanese heritage--arts and crafts--beyond the traditional watery borders of Japan. A friend suggested I call the site "dyingarts.com" and we laughed at the dark joke, but sobered just as quickly.

Learning from a Great Speech
One of the best ways to master the art of speaking and speechwriting is to read and analyze great speeches.
I just came upon such a speech, posted by Vital Speeches of the Day. It's by Rosalie Silberman Abella, Justice, Supreme Court of Canada. It's titled, "The World Is Not Unfolding As It Should: International Justice in Crisis." Read it here.
I find it both intellectually challenging and emotionally gripping. She's not afraid to engage her audience's intellect. She doesn't dumb things down or overly simplify complex matters. And, at the same time, she doesn't treat her subject as if it's a purely academic concern, divorced from our real world, devoid of human pathos.
She's grieved by what she sees happening in the world, and she thinks we should be too.
Her words have power, not just because of the thoughts and emotions they express, but because of the way she strings them together. Here are a few quotes I like:
Democratic values, while no guarantee, are still the best aspirational goals in my view, because without democracy there are no rights, without rights there is no tolerance, without tolerance there is no justice, and without justice, there is no hope.
The world was supposed to have learned three indelible lessons from the concentration camps of Europe:
1. Indifference is injustice's incubator;
2. It's not just what you stand for, it's what you stand up for; and
3. We must never forget how the world looks to those who are vulnerable.
When we talk about democracy, we're not just talking about elections. To say democracy is only about elections is like saying you don't need the whole building if you have the door. Elections tell democracy it's welcome to come in, but elections are only the entrance. Without a home, democracy can't settle down. It needs an edifice of rules and rights and respect to grow up healthy and secure.
Give it a read. And let me know what you think.

P. Koenen was the illustrator of the comic 'Pijpje Drop' (text by A.s.-D.), which was published in the 1930s in De Automaat, weekly magazine of an oil-company which sold petrol from door to door. 'Pijpje Drop' was a little black boy, and his adventures were later collected in at least five books.
