Madison, WI (PRWEB) March 31, 2009
As stories of despair in the Somali immigrant community continue to make news headlines, one project is trying to make a positive impact on Somali mental health through new media. Egal Shidad: Stories of Somali Health, based in Minneapolis, is a DVD produced in late 2008 that has already had requests for nearly 700 copies in the US and abroad.
The hour-long program was created by and for members of the Somali community, using Somali language and aspects of Somali culture to relay information and reduce barriers associated with mental health problems. Posted at http://www.newroutes.org/node/17368 and subtitled in English, the program was produced by Mukhtar Gaaddasaar.
"We take our audience on a journey to learn about mental health through storytelling, personal opinions, and insight from mental health professionals who work with Somalis," said Mukhtar Gaaddasaar, Egal Shidad producer. "We also include historical accounts of traditional ceremonies and guidance from an Imam. The approach has been well received and is making an impact at a time when it's needed more than ever."
Egal Shidad: Stories of Somali Health has aired multiple times in the Twin Cities on both radio and television. So far nearly 700 copies have been requested and distributed to parties in more than 22 states and 11 countries. A corresponding lesson for English Language Learners has been prepared. Related materials provide ELL instructors with a lesson plan and worksheets that build on English language skills using concepts about mental health expressed in the film.
This project is the result of a collaborative effort between Emergency Community and Health Outreach, Confederation of Somali Community in Minnesota, Somali Producer Mukhtar Gaaddasaar, KFAI Fresh Air Radio, and St. Paul Neighborhood Network.
Egal Shidad is also part of a larger, national project called New Routes to Community Health, which improves the health of immigrants in the U.S. using media created by immigrants.
"Our program's 'new route' to community health runs straight through urban neighborhoods, populated by immigrants. Health and mental health concerns are an endemic part of the landscape," said Beth Mastin, national program director of New Routes. "That's why our national collaborative offers immigrant groups new tools to tell their stories and make their communities stronger."
The eight New Routes projects are each receiving $225,000 from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation over three years. The media content they create is housed here and available for any community to use. The Web site also serves as a resource for research and news on the topic of immigrant community health. In addition to Egal Shidad, the other seven New Routes projects include:
Atlanta, GA - HEARMe. East African immigrants and their Atlanta neighbors collaborating to create on-air, online and on-stage productions promoting health and cultural competency within their community. Partners are Emory University, Sagal Radio and WRFG, community radio station.
Boston, MA - Twa Zanmi (Three Friends). This project is creating telenovelas to help Haitian immigrants recognize and respond to symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety. Partners are the Haitian American Public Health Initiatives, Haitian Media Network and the University of Massachusetts Boston.
Chicago, IL - Salud: Healing through the Arts. Young people are producing radio programming and live theater events focused on helping Latin American youth make better health decisions. Partners are Latinos Progresando, the National Museum of Mexican Art and WRTE, Radio Arte.
Los Angeles, CA - Navigating Health Care in the U.S. for Chinese American Seniors. This project is developing television news features and instructional DVDs to help Chinese American seniors overcome cultural, language and navigational barriers and communicate more effectively with their adult children caretakers and health care providers. Partners are the Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training; Chinatown Service Center and KSCI TV/LA 18.
Oakland, CA - Abriendo las Cajas (Opening Boxes) - This project has created media aimed at intimate partner (domestic) violence within the Latin American immigrant population in the Fruitvale neighborhood. Partners are La Clinica de la Raza, Bay Area Video Coalition and ZeroDivide.
Philadelphia, PA - Our Stories, Our Health. This project features immigrant Laotian and Vietnamese immigrants telling their stories on digital video created by Southeast Asian elders. It is intended to encourage discussion on health disparities and communication barriers faced by immigrants, with a focus on the problem of high blood pressure. Partners are the Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Associations Coalition (SEAMAAC), University of Pennsylvania, WHYY public broadcasting, Thomas Jefferson University and Temple University.
San Francisco, CA - Domestic Worker Safety and Dignity Project. In this project, domestic worker advocates are developing a social marketing campaign advocating healthier working conditions for domestic workers. Partners include La Raza Centro Legal, University of California/Berkeley, and Underground Advertising.
New Routes to Community Health is funded through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Vulnerable Populations portfolio. The Benton Foundation and MasComm Associates provide direction and technical assistance for the program.

FRESNO, Calif. --A new building under construction at Fresno High School caught on fire Sunday. Fire crews rushed to the campus around noon and found flames coming from the roof.
Investigators say they later discovered a piece of reflective tubing was laying in the direct sunlight and ignited some cardboard. Firefighters say the biggest challenge was getting to the top of the building.
Kris Townsend of Fresno City Fire Dept. said, "We did have difficulty finding access points going to the roof...made access to the roof...it was quickly extinguished once we got up there. We used water cans to extinguish it."
Officials say the damage was minimal, and crews only cleared a small debris pile from the area that caught on fire.

Liverpool Transfer Rumours: Latest Buzz on Luis SuarezJuly 29, 2013
Liverpool is showing no intentions of letting striker Luis Suarez go, but that certainly isn't slowing down the rumors of his possible departure.
Of course, there is good reason the rumors persist. Suarez doesn't want to play for Liverpool next year. This is no secret. Suarez has made his desire to leave blatantly clear.
Liverpool is not going to be forced into a bad deal, however.
Apparently, Liverpool has been busy turning down deals. They reportedly rejected a £30 million bid from Arsenal for Suarez, and have shown no signs of flinching. In fact, the BBC Sport's David Ornstein and Ben Smith reported that Liverpool is holding out for £50 million-plus.
Things were getting too rich for even Real Madrid. Mark Irwin of the Sun reported that Los Blancos have abandoned their pursuit of Suarez.
However, things start to get a little messy at this point. As Smith and Ornstein report, Arsenal upped its bid to a club-record bid of £40m plus £1. The bid was reportedly—big shocker coming—rejected, but that £1 is important. This triggered a clause in Suarez's contract that meant he had to be informed of Arsenal's bid.
Suarez, who is chomping at his own figure during shadow training to move to Arsenal, is locked in a bitter battle with Liverpool.
The Telegraph helps explain:
As for Suarez, he appears to be operating like it is only a matter of time before he will be joining Arsenal.
In a report by Goal.com, using information from the Sweeper, Suarez is checking out houses and schools in London.
At this point, my guess is that things will get even uglier before any resolution is found. Suarez is essentially robbing Liverpool of any negotiating power with his desire to leave and to do so to Arsenal.
However, Liverpool isn't going to just bow down to Suarez's demands. This much is clear by the bids they've already turned down.
Up until now, Arsenal has been willing to play along with Liverpool by gradually upping their bids. However, I have to believe at some point they are going to call bluff.
Does Liverpool really want a player with a history of uncontrollable emotions leading to controversy and suspensions on the pitch while fostering a grudge against the team he is representing?
No matter what the club says, I find it difficult to believe they do, and Arsenal has to realize this as well. The Gunners have to be approaching a take-it-or-leave-it bid, if they haven't already, and that's when the growing discord between Suarez and Liverpool will hit its zenith.
We'll see where Suarez ends up when the dust settles.

Big Cats Are Not Pets
by Ira Fischer
— Ira Fischer is an attorney, now retired, who devotes his retirement to the cause of animal welfare through advocacy. His Web site is irafischer.com
The Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act (S. 1381) was introduced into the U.S. Senate this past month by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT). The Bill is aimed at prohibiting private ownership and breeding of exotic cats such as lions, tigers and other dangerous wildcats.
The Bill is in large measure a response to repeated tragedies between humans and captive big cats, such as the episode in Zanesville, Ohio two years ago when the owner of a menagerie of exotic animals released his "pets" from their cages, leaving first responders with little choice but to shoot and kill 49 lions, tigers, bears and other exotics to protect public safety.
Fortunately, no people were killed or injured in this incident. However, since 1990, numerous dangerous incidents involving big cats have occurred in the U.S., including 21 human deaths, 246 maulings and 143 wildcat deaths. These tragedies underscore that these apex predators are simply not suitable as pets.
These tragic events are not limited to the harboring big cats as pets by individuals. Traveling zoos, petting farms and other commercial entities that keep wildcats captive also demonstrate that tragedies inevitably occur when unqualified people possess these animals. Last year, the Humane Society of the United States released the results of an investigation into GW Exotic Animal Park, where multiple dangerous incidents, resulting from allowing patrons to interact with wild predators, were recorded.
Apart from the threat to public safety, the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act is also a response to the welfare issue of the wildcats that are held captive – the victim of their exotic beauty. It has been estimated that upwards of 10,000 big cats like lions, tigers and cougars are held captive in private hands in the U.S. These animals oftentimes suffer from severe physiological and psychological health defects due to their captivity.
These magnificent creatures are trapped in a cycle of misery that begins with captive breeding by dealers, who strip the infant cubs from their mothers. The all too common scenario is that the owners discard these wildcats when they become too big, aggressive, or expensive to keep, or when the novelty wears-off. The cycle often ends with these animals living in pseudo-sanctuaries, such as unaccredited petting farms, since overburdened accredited sanctuaries (Accredited sanctuaries, such as Big Cat Rescue, do not permit commercial trade, propagation or direct contact between the public and the wildlife) seldom have the financial means to provide lifetime care. Many are shipped off to hunting ranches to be shot for trophies, while others are killed for their remains (primarily fur, food or Asian medicine). Such is the fate of many privately owned exotic cats that in some ancient cultures were revered as though they were gods. …

Features Of A Good Law Firm
June 14, 2017 by Bradley Thompson
How are you to find a good lawyer to fight your case when the number of reliable law firms seems to be quite limited at the present day? It is no easy task for you to determine a good firm from a bad one. However, you have come to the right place for your daily good reads as this piece of writing will assist you in finding the best law firm that can help you find a reliable lawyer. Following are some of the features of a good law firm that you are most likely to find the best lawyers from.
The term commitment in such firms refers to the commitment that the lawyers display for the quality and betterment of the it. It comes in two main aspects of technical and service commitment. The most demanded type of commitment that clients require is the service. As long as the firm is able to provide a quality service to their clients, they will feel satisfied. Therefore, if you are looking for a law firm to contact, make sure to ask around from people that you know of good ones that they would suggest you to contact.
One of the biggest problems faced by many of these places that block the way for innovation in law firms is the failure to protect confidentiality of client information. The minute a firm lets the confidential information out of the bag, maybe to a possible opponent for bribery, the faith that a client has on the specific fir will disease. Therefore, you must keep track and select one with a clean record as you do not want to get in trouble when important information leaks. Visit this link https://www.persuit.com/innovation/ for more info on innovation in law firms.
If anyone is searching for pursuit legal services that would help them with certain legal matters, then it is important to consider that these firms carry good leadership qualities. By bearing good leadership qualities in a firm, it simply means that all the lawyers that make the company function have their unique skills that make them leaders and ensure the success of the company. Therefore, before you contact one, you can always check past records of these lawyers and firms before proceeding to hire one.
The term diversity stands for the respectful nature that any law firm would represent to their clients. No matter which skin colour or country they are of, every client should be treated equally without discriminating the service level depending on such factors.
Once you have considered all such qualities and have found one that fulfils them, you should be able to proceed with a lawyer of your choice.

Only help if you can be helpfulHey All, A topic has come up of late in the IRC channel in regards to the general feel of the forums and the community that supports them. Things have progressed further than I would have liked with out this being addressed more publicly because I would much rather have snubbed this out sooner rather than later.. but I have been busy. Here is the general rule I would like people to follow: Wheaton's Law "Don't be a dick." Those of you from the IRC channel know that this is the only rule I ask people in there to follow and we generally have a good and lively time chatting about all manner of things. This is basic rule that just about everyone understands and I am going to expand it to the forums from here moving forward. If you can not help people in a helpful and polite manner then I simply ask you to stop. Now I generally take a back seat to moderating the forums as I like to participate in the suggestions forum fairly heavily at times and would rather do so as a forums user than a moderator. But I am also fairly well known for being the person who constantly puts their foot down and so I am stepping up and doing so on here. If you find yourself unable to respond to a message politely then I ask that you do not respond. This mostly focuses on the increasing level of hostility found within the Suggestion forum as well as the Server forum. I do not care if this is the 30th some odd time you have seen someone make the same suggestion. Or even if the new post on an older topic is one entry above the old one. I expect the members of this forum to respond politely to the user, new or old, and point to the older topic if it applies and even go the extra step to suggest they either add in new information or to summarize the outcome of the previous discussion based upon the new post's entry into it. That is what we are here for, that is why I close most topics instead of deleting them, so that they can be found and referenced down the road. The next topic is the slew of derailment attempts I have seen as of late. If you want to have fun and joke around that is what the off topic forum is for and pretty much anything goes there. I do not expect to read a suggestion thread and have to go through 3 pages of image memes people have shot back and forth. Quite simply this is a waste of my time to read and then have to clean up. Now for the summary. I am going to start taking a more active role, especially in policing the suggestion forum, and handing out warn levels to people whom I see doing this. These will be indiscriminate and applied not to just the first person who derails or is impolite on a topic or response, but to everyone whom follows the lead of that person. As I do not like doing things with out giving you all warning this post shall serve as that warning. If you have a desire to bring this topic up with me then I invite you to do so on the IRC channel. Lets raise the level of quality and grow the community. Let us not descend into the quality often found on the minecraft or league of legend forums. There is simply no need for that here. Be passionate about things, just do not be abusive.
Offline ServersRecently I've seen a few server listings showing up on the first page of the Servers forum that have been closed for an extended period of time, but have recently gotten a reply from a new member who didn't realize the server is offline. To help prevent this from happening in the future, it would be greatly appreciated if you could use the report function on the original post of any servers that have been confirmed as offline, so that the topic may be locked.

"That's why I've said the people need to be as equally armed as the government, or close to it. The government should never have that kind of power while the American people don't. That's a dangerous situation. And the government shouldn't be able to just up and kill anyone when they want to, that's blatantly unconstitutional. And 50 million+ armed Americans + military defectors (most of the army wouldn't side with a federal power-grab) would defeat 100,000 or so federal government goons any day. Never underestimate the power of the American people. We defeated the most powerful army on earth with little more than a couple hundred thousand guys with hunting muskets and a few cannons. " Waaaaiit, you want everyone to have drones and nuclear weapons? And no, we would lose. That's the scary thing about drones. The people rising up wouldn't really matter. 1000 people with the right equipment could hold off billions of civilians. Look, I made my point, and you proved it. You clearly believe to strongly in your view points to have your mind changed. That's the thing about you guys, you just have faith, not critical thinking. If new information came my way, I would change my opinion. Like when I found out about how much of a monster president Clinton was. And how bad Hilary would be (although not as bad as Trump, God forbid). So I changed my mind after observing facts. You won't change. But your kind is slowly dying out. Education is becoming better, information is more free, more people are realizing how fucking ridiculous the Bible actually is. I hope some day I'll be able to tell stories about the crazy right wing religious nuts to my grandkids, and that they won't believe me. Adios.

Treyflix replied to Hydra26's topic in Off TopicCorrection; Greenland wins. Followed by Niger.
Wait a minute, you actually think having guns would help us fight the government in a worst case scenario? You're crazy. The government's weapons so far outstrip guns it would be like taking a toothpick into a medieval battle. If the government wanted you dead, you'd already be dead. Also your statement about most corporations being leftist is false. Look at the donation lists for the conservative canidates. It's like a who's who of the richest people in America. Here is what it comes down to. The party system is an elaborate game designed to turn the people against themselves. The real enemy is not conservatives or liberals, it's the 1%. The people who control all the wealth and don't give a flying fuck about the middle class. You talk about Sweden being such a horrible place, but they outstrip us in every category except defense budget and the number of adults who believe in angels. I'm pretty sure you and I want the same things. Safety for our families. Equal rights to all people, regardless of race, gender, cultural background, religion, or sexual orientation. The ability to make a living wage. Hospitals we can go to without going into debt for the rest of our lives. GOOD education for our children. Quality food, not pumped full of poisons. The right to pursue happiness. Instead of fighting among ourselves, bickering over semantics, we should unite and focus our efforts. Only through cooperation will we create a better future for our children.

Treyflix replied to dutchraptor's topic in SuggestionsIntriguing concept, if balanced correctly. Perhaps instead of completely being unable to mine the stone if you have too low tier of a pickaxe, it's just slow. Even more interesting, what if the lower the tier, the higher the slowness penalty? Example: First off, just for simplicities sake, think of the four classes of stone as not geologically different but as tier 1, 2, 3a, and 3b. Starting with Sedimentary and ending with the two sub-types of Igneous. If you try to mine tier 1(sedimentary) stone with a tier 1 pick (copper), everything will be normal. However, if you take a tier 1 pick to tier 2 stone a minor mining speed penalty (say that 10 times fast) will be applied. Said mining speed penalty will increase as you try to use it on harder and harder stone types. This means that tier 3a stone will still be possible to mine with a tier 1 pick, but the penalty will be large enough that it would be a rather unpleasant job. However, the difference scales. What I mean is with a tier 2 pick (bronze), both tier 1 and 2 stone is at normal mining speed AND the penalties do not start until tier 3a, and the third level of penalty does not exist, since there is only two tiers of stone above said tier 2 pickaxe. Go to tier three (iron) and you only get a minor debuff on the only the absolute hardest stone.Finally, a tier 4 (steel) pickaxe receives no penalties at all. I am of the opinion that this would add both to gameplay and believability, without adding excessive tedium. P.S: if steel seems too laborious to indirectly encourage players to upgrade from iron, I would not be overtly opposed to lumping both types of igneous into the same stone tier for the purposes of this idea. So an iron pick axe is all you need to recive no mining speed penalty.P.P.S: I will post this in a separate topic if it "survives" a roughly a page of discussion.P.P.P.S: I claim the intellectual rights to the above content, except in the unlikely scenario that this EXACT conceptual idea has been posted in a topic on these forums.

Bravo to the devs, an open letter from the community.
Treyflix replied to Treyflix's topic in DiscussionMy point is this: Yes, by the 'word of law' (A.K.A these forum's rules) I should not have started this thread. However, I am of the opinion that under the 'spirit of the law' I committed no crime. Here is why: A big part of the point of not making duplicate threads (correct me if I am wrong here kitty), is so when the Developers and general forum users want to look at the discussion subforum, it is clean, concise, and informative. Yes there was a minor violation of the rules on my part technically but my intentions justify the offense. "How so?" You ask? I'll make this as simple as possible to avoid any more conflict in this thread, with *sort of* a mathematical format. Thank You's to the Developers (T for 'thank you') = said Developers feeling fppreciated (A for 'appreciation') ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Developers feeling appreciated (A) = more motivation to work (M for 'more motivation') ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ more motivation to work (M) = more work getting done (W for 'work done') ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ more work getting done (W) = game & community progress (Game Progress for 'game & community progress') ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Or in Algebraic format, with two separate solved equations (just for simplicities sake as Math cannot measure emotional concepts... yet) it would be; T+A+M+W = Game Progress. ___________________________________________ Game Progress = EVERYONE HAPPY! So in conclusion, more threads like this logically harm nothing, unless they get to the point where it becomes 'spammy'. If that scenario happens (highly unlikely) I will stand down from protecting my position that this is does not break "the spirit of the law". Still not convinced for some reason? Okay fine, I will set aside logic and delve into the murky depths of personal opinion, simple as ABC. A: I started a new thread because (after much thought and deliberation) I thought (and still do) I could do it better.B: Here is the core reason why it is okay for me to do that (I.M.H.O); I legitimately started this thread out of kindness, not vanity. C: Therefor saying I am "'Self-proclaimed spokesman for the community thanking the developers in an open letter'" is, by my logic... FALSE! Now let us stop bickering and start the 'metaphorical hugs'! Because ultimately, what comes around goes around guys and gals. What would you want as a developer? Bureaucratic bickering? Or organized appreciation? Answer truthfully or not at all. Let the 'Thanking' continue, please!

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 08, 2013
The Let's Get Honest sexual harassment video is a welcome change for Carlton's Training and their clients. The program helps managers learn how to create a more positive workplace free from harassment. The climate in the workplace has to advance and keep issues like harassment off the table. A sexual harassment video can go a long way for Carlton's Training to help clients prevent harassment in the workplace.
So many couples meet at work that it is amazing that there aren't more issues of sexual harassment at work. What is a simple invitation to explore a relationship may be offensive to another. What is a simple joke with a former girlfriend or boyfriend can be seen as demeaning and disrespectful. This is why not only does there need to be in place a no tolerance policy but also a place to state grievances.
The great thing about Let's Get Honest in the realm of sexual harassment training videos is how real and honest it is. Instead of presenting the obvious situations that any person would know to avoid, it gets into the nitty gritty. Situations that are commonplace in the workplace today are normally not explored. Such as what if a co-worker used to speak to a fellow employee in a flirtatious manner and now longer desires to? But it has been established in front of co-workers that this person not only expects but also receives and enjoys this type of banter. What can be done to complain about it now?
There are other situations depicted that can also lead to general harassment issues. Just because one employee of a certain race or religion makes fun of an employee and it is well received does not give the liberty to another employee regardless of race or religion. The lines get further blurred as the workplace becomes more and more diverse. Diversity can enrich the workplace with innovative ideas. But the workplace must remain a place where everyone can do their best work and be respected.
Carlton's Training advocates the use of a sexual harassment video for the simple task of creating multiples platitudes under which employees can discuss these issues. Seeing a harassment training video can open up important lines of communication that can lead to important dialogue that is a must in the new workplace. To view an online preview of the Let's Get Honest sexual harassment video or learn more about this organization, simply click on their site at Carlton's Training.

When displaying images in a photography forum, the resulting discussion can take many directions. One such image allowed me to write about some misunderstood "rules" of compression and expansion of space in photography. The blooms in the following image appear to be very close together, and yet in reality were almost two feet apart. Knowing how different focal lengths at different distances from a subject can produce entirely different presentations of an image can lend to wonderful creativity in photography.
140804_2285_SX50 HoneysuckleReturn to the Compression/Expansion of Space Tutorial by clicking here
The appearance of a delicate close relationship of the blooms on this Honeysuckle vine was attained by stepping back and increasing the focal length to extreme telephoto to compress the space while maintaining the desired composition.
There is reasoning behind this technique and purists who know about the "science" of our craft will cite the "absolute" rule that stepping forward will always expand the appearance of a subject in space and moving backwards will always compress it. While basically true in a relative sense and when applied to the above image, this rule can be misleading in many practical artistic applications. Every focal length has a focus distance at which the subject appears natural in space. Move closer than this distance and the subject will have a sense of expansion. Move further and the subject will have a sense of compression. Clarifying the misleading part of the "absolute" rule is that as long as the subject is between the minimum focus distance and the focus point where it appears natural in space at any focal length, it is then that the subject will always appear expanded in space. When moving beyond the focus point where it appears natural at any focal length, it is then that the subject will always appear compressed in space. The shorter the focal length, the further away the focus distance at which the subject appears natural in space, thus the greater the focus points that appear expanded. The longer the focal length, the closer the focus distance at which the subject appears natural in space, thus the greater the focus points that appear compressed. This makes sense in application as one usually stands relatively closer to a subject when using a short focal length wide angle lens (expansion), and further away when using a long focal length telephoto (compression). This also answers a question I often get, "I moved back from my subject, why doesn't it look compressed like the rule says it should?" Knowing the rule is one thing. Understanding the application of the "rule" makes for a more creative photographer.
Most people use the different focal lengths of a zoom lens to avoid taking steps. But one of its many benefits as shown here, once you've determined a particular composition, is that stepping back and forth with the zoom can be used in a real dance of changing focal lengths and focus distances to choreograph creative senses and emotions in photography.

A group of Peace Corps Volunteers assigned to Namibia will take their oath of service on Wednesday at the Municipal Town Hall in Okahandja.
According to a press statement, the American Ambassador to Namibia, Dennise Mathieu, will administer the oath at 10h00.
The 70 volunteers come from all parts of the United States and reflect America's rich ethnic diversity.
They bring with them professional experience in education, health and community service.
The new volunteers were selected through a rigorous, year-long nationwide selection. Since arriving in Namibia in November last year, they have participated in an intensive 10-week training programme in Okahandja to improve their knowledge of Namibia, including extended study of local languages, culture and society, and the proud history of Namibia and its people.
They have also studied the professional and technical aspects of the positions to which they will be assigned while in Namibia.
Each of the 70 volunteers has committed themselves to two years of service in Namibia.
They will be assigned to all regions of Namibia and live in modest accommodation among the local Namibian population. Approximately two thirds of the volunteers will be placed in teaching positions through the Ministry of Education.
They will teach English, Mathematics, Science, or Information Technology at local schools or work with information technology at the regional Teacher Resource Centres.
The remaining volunteers will be assigned to health-related positions where they will be involved in various aspects of the fight against HIV/Aids. They will support the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Youth, National Service, Sports and Culture, as well as non-governmental, faith-based and community-based Organisations – such as the Namibian Red Cross and the Church Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) – in their outreach programmes.
Such efforts in the fight against HIV/Aids represent an important component of President Bush's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief.
The Peace Corps operation in Namibia continues to be a vibrant and dynamic programme. Currently, there are almost 130 Peace Corps volunteers assigned to Namibia and after many years, volunteers have returned to the Caprivi Region. The Peace Corps now serves all 13 regions of Namibia.
This year the United States Peace Corps will celebrate its 17th anniversary of service in Namibia.
One of the first international organisations to work in Namibia after independence, the Peace Corps first arrived in Namibia in September 1990.
Their initial focus was educational reform. They worked closely with the Government to develop a truly national and inclusive educational programme.

Surface Area of a Square Pyramid - What shapes are the faces?
Lesson 14 of 18
Objective: Students will be able to calculate the surface area of a square pyramid.
Big Idea: Students unfold pyramids into their two dimensional nets in order to visualize all the faces and bases needed for calculating surface area.
Opener: As students enter the room, they will immediately pick up and begin working on the opener – Instructional Strategy - Process for openers. This method of working and going over the opener lends itself to allow students to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, which is mathematical practice 3.
Learning Target: After completion of the opener, I will address the day's learning targets to the students. In today's lesson, the intended targets are, "I can calculate the surface area of a square pyramid by finding the area of each face and base."
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Surface Area of a Square Pyramid Explore Narrative
Brainstorm: As a way to access prior knowledge, I give the students a square pyramid and ask that they discuss how they might find the surface area of it with their group (MP 3). Groups will have two minutes to discuss their methods, and I will walk around to listen in and gauge understanding. After two minutes, I will ask for a show of hands of which groups got 205 square inches as an answer.
Surface Area of a Square Pyramid Notes: I will ask that students take out their foldable (we have been adding to the same foldable created in lesson 1 the entire unit) to jot down an example problem for finding surface area of a square pyramid. Students who do not have their foldable can do all of their work on their notes sheet, and file that in their binders. To make sure students have a good conceptual understanding of exactly what we are looking for, I will demonstrate finding the surface area of the square pyramid by breaking it down into its two dimensional net. This way students are able to see the 4 congruent triangles and one square that make up the figure. At this time I will discuss the slant height versus the height of a pyramid. Students are often frustrated that a pyramid has two heights, but I explain that the actual height is inside the pyramid – in "space," and since volume is a calculation of space, we use the height for volume. Since the slant height is on the surface of the pyramid, it then would be used to find the surface area of the pyramid. Usually, that helps – although there are always a few students who have to hear that several times before it sinks in. I will work out the example problem as well as one additional problem with the students, and then ask that they complete the remaining three problems with their groups. I will walk around and provide assistance as needed during this time, placing most of my focus on the group that had the most difficulty with surface area in previous lessons. As groups finish up the example problems, I will ask for volunteers to go to the board and work out the examples for the class, explaining their work as they go. For students who are not keen on explaining, I ask that they take a buddy to the board with them and one student does the explaining while the other does the writing.
Table Challenge: I will conduct a table challenge using a 6 sided picture die on the smartboard. Each side of the die has a square pyramid problem on it, and I will have students roll the die to reveal the problem. For this challenge, I will choose a playing card A-8 to decide which table gets the problem (each table has a playing card taped to the center of it). Though the cards will decide the table, I will choose the person from the table that goes to the board – by me choosing the student that goes up, it is more likely that students take responsibility for everyone at their table understanding the problem and the process of solving it. This activity utilizes mathematical practice 1 by having students struggle with the problems, mathematical 3 because they will work together to come up with a solution, and mp 6 - because attention to precision regarding calculations and units will be very important. Instructional Strategy - How do table challenges work?
Resources (5)
Summarize + Homework
Table Discussion: To summarize this lesson, I will ask that students turn to their shoulder buddy and discuss the three questions below. I will walk around and listen in on the discussions, and then I will choose pairs to share what they talked about.
- How many faces/bases make up a square pyramid, and what shapes are they?
- What is the difference between the height and the slant height of a pyramid?
- How would explain to a 6th grader how to find surface area of any figure we have studied?
Homework: I will then pass out the homework assignment and give students the last few minutes to look it over and get started. Philosophy on Homework

A-Level Politics
TSR Wiki > Study Help > Subjects and Revision > A Levels > A-Level Subject Guides II > A-Level Politics
A-Level Politics
Background information about studying Politics
Politics affects everything we do in life and the Government and Politics course at A-Level takes a look at what the major functions of government and politics in Britain and beyond. The political aspect covers the major components of the democratic process; parties, pressure groups and elections. The Government aspect focusses specifically on how a country is run and the various bodies that work together to govern a country. This includes a lot of about the various arms of government; executive, legislature and judiciary, and also looks at the constitution. At A2 similar topics are studied but in the context of the USA. There are also opportunities to further explore the theory behind politics including ideologies within other A2 units.
What can I expect when studying Politics?
Whilst there is a lot to learn on most politics courses, few people consider it a particulary difficult course when compared to some A levels. This said,there is some complex vocabulary and concepts to be learnt. There can, however, be a large volume of material to memorise for exams, so make sure you're prepared for that.
Usually quite a textbook and essay based subject politics seems to have an average workload.
Required Individual Study
Outside teacher set work, there is unlikely to be much background reading. Teachers may however ask you to research topics. Particularly for UK Politics it can be really helpful to read at least a newspaper a week, or to read the news online. If you are doing US politics then Time magazine can be very helpful. You can get by without doing this but it helps your understanding.
How is it assessed?
Usually two exams a year.
On most courses,none
Not in the normal sense of them.
Field trips and excursions
Schools may organise a trip to the Houses of Parliament in London, United Kingdom for AS or perhaps even a visit to the United States Congress, Washington D.C for A2. It would be advisable to ask the course provider if this option is available, as this opportunity will differ from school to school. Most schools will be offered the opportunity to go to AS and A2 Revision lectures held at universities across the country. It will normally be up to your school whether or not they attend.
The University of Hull host a Sixth Form Politics Conference very near to the start of the academic year, but if you don't live in or close to Yorkshire this will be unfeasible to attend.
Where can I go with a Politics A-Level
It is a good subject for both humanities and social science degrees.
User Opinions
Username: sunset-twilight
What I like about studying this subject: You'll definitely get marks for your own opinion, though ofcourse you have to state different sides of the argument!
What I dislike about studying this subject: Depending on what sort of person you are, it can be REALLY dull at times. But for most its simply an easy and achievable A.
Username: Kyle1198
What I like about studying this subject: I actually learned some useful stuff from this A Level, for example how first past the post works, and why it's arguably the best system to have for voting, and the administration behind the government, how laws are passed etc. Some bits can be quite interesting, maybe even debatable. Plus the exam for AS unit 2 (which is basically the administration of the government) is quite easy, as you don't need as many current examples for it, and the exam itself is alright.
What I dislike about studying this subject: I found it incredibly dull most of the time, especially unit 2 (albeit not conceptually difficult) Unit 1 exam is a joke - you can write a beautiful essay answering the question accurately, but if you don't use the correct lingo and write it in a particular way, you will fall down in the mark scheme. I ended up with a D on that particular unit as a result of this (as well as the fact they threw in a big curveball that year). So practise loaaads.
Username: Amit92
Before I started this A-level in 2008. I had absolutely no clue about the basic political framework in the UK, let alone what an MP was, and did in Parliament.
The first few weeks of the course were quite difficult, having to take in high volumes of information and knowledge. The subject is fun and enjoyable but certain areas can be boring. This subject really improves your essay-writing skills and English grammar. I have most definitely witnessed a huge improvement in my writing skills from the start of the course in 2008 to date (2010).
If you want to learn about the Political framework of the UK and arising problems related to the issue.
If you want to learn about Ideologies from Liberalism to Fascism and the Political framework of the USA from the day the British left.
Then this is a perfect subject for you to choose!
The most beautiful element of Politics A-level is how History is phased into the subject. You have the best of both subjects for the price of one. If you enjoy reading/watching the news, then this subject will grant you an guaranteed 'A'.
If you want to study: Law, Economics, History, English Literature, English Language, Sociology, Philosophy, International Relations at University. Then choosing A-level Politics is a real asset.
Username: Cast.Iron
I have greatly enjoyed this A-Level, however I found the AS course to be infinitely more 'useful' than the A2. That said, not everybody does the same course.
As has previously been mentioned, there is a large amount of information to revise for this subject. By large, I mean it is the largest out of all of my subjects and it is considered to be 'less academic'. This course, I think, involves more revision than History or English Literature, both of which I took at A2.
That said, the subject itself and the exams are not too difficult providing that you know the information.
I would advise this subject if, first of all, you have an interest in the UK political system and secondly, if you have the willpower to revise a lot of information. Forget what was said above about little work outside of the classroom, you need to be up to date with topical political issues.
Furthermore, do not be perturbed from taking Politics on the grounds that it is not as academic as perhaps other subjects. It is by no means an 'inferior' subject and it will not prevent you from going to the top universities, including Oxbridge.
PM me if you have any further questions.

Jon Stewart Asks: What About Ron Paul?!?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Ron Paul finished second at the Iowa Straw Poll this weekend, receiving 1% less of the vote than Michele Bachmann.
The answers Ron Paul gave at this month's Republican debate, regarding wasteful war spending, were met with raucous applause from the audience.
Ron Paul is really the first-ever Tea Party candidate, having railed against the federal government for years.
So why is no one taking Ron Paul seriously as a Presidential nominee? Why does Matt Damon seem like a more viable possibility to some? That's what Jon Stewart wants to know! Watch him take the media to task here:

Salisbury knocks out No. 1 Emory
Sea Gulls toss a three-hitter, advance in elimination round
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – No. 17 Salisbury eliminated top-ranked Emory 2-0 in the third round of regional play in the Division III Softball Championship. After taking a two-run lead in the fourth inning, the Sea Gulls were able to make big plays defensively and hold on for the win.
Sophomore Harley Hill led the game with a single through the right side and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Hill moved to third off junior Sarah Alpaugh's sacrifice bunt. With two outs, Salisbury looked as though it would bring a run in but Dana Goodenough made an over the shoulder catch to end the inning.
"Emory made some great defensive plays, especially their shortstop, to keep any additional runs from scoring," coach Margie Knight said. "They are a great team and have an excellent pitcher in Bridget Holloway."
Emory (34-5) had a scoring opportunity of its own in the first inning with two runners on and two outs. Senior hurler Erika Brittingham walked and then hit a batter to put the two Eagles on base, but with runners in scoring position the senior struck out Jessica Thomas to preserve the tie.
The two teams battled back and forth through the next two innings of play, unable to bring any runs across the plate until the fourth inning.
Junior Hannah Mills reached base first for Salisbury (37-6) with a single shot to shortstop and then moved to second on senior Casey Zaino's sacrifice bunt. Mills reached home on a double from classmate Lindsay McCabe, who then brought in the Gulls' second run of the inning, eluding the tag at home plate by sliding around Emory's catcher. Sophomore Angelia McDowell's single to left-center field gave Salisbury the 2-0 lead and an error by Emory allowed McCabe to turn for home.
Brittingham made her third appearance of the tournament in the circle. She had a no-hit bid going into the bottom of the fifth inning but gave up her only hit of the day to Micah Scharff, putting two runners on after walking the leadoff batter. Brittingham struck out Sophia Tarte for the second out and was helped by Alpaugh, who made a catch in center field to end the inning unscathed.
Freshman Rachel Johnson took to the circle in the sixth inning with one out and runners on second and third base. She had Meaghan Schultz swinging with a full count to record the second out followed by a pop-up to head into the seventh inning.
"Rachel Johnson came in, in a big pressure situation with two runners on and one out in a regional quarterfinal and was able to get us out of the inning without allowing Emory any runs, that was big," Knight said. "A shutout against Emory shows why our ERA is so low, we had excellent pitching today and our defense didn't bend."

Stop painting your lashes…TUBE them!
blinc Mascara is the original mascara invented to form tiny water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, the tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.
blinc Mascara will add both volume and length to give you a radiant natural look that lasts all day. Only when you are ready for removal, the tubes will effortlessly slide off your lashes into your hand without the use of a harsh makeup remover. All it takes is the combination of lots of warm water and gentle pressure and the tubes will slide off your lashes effortlessly. Upon removal you will actually see the tiny tubes in your hand!
blinc Mascara has been clinically tested to be non-irritating making it ideal for sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers, and active people in search of a mascara whose look, hold and ease of removal is without compromise.
- Forms a tube around each eyelash.
- Cannot run even if you cry or sweat.
- Will not smudge even if you rub your eyes.
- Rich texture adds volume and length without clumping.
- Does not require an eye make-up remover.
- Removed simply by combining water and gentle pressure.
- Comes off completely without leaving any residue.
- High-definition application brush.
- Ideal for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
Directions For Use:
Application: Apply just like a regular mascara. It is important that you do not use conditioners, lotions, etc... before applying the mascara. blinc requires a dry, clean surface in order to adhere properly to your lashes. It takes about 2 minutes to set and begin forming the tiny "tubes" around your lashes. Do not let it set before applying another coat in order to build...keep adding coats until you are satisfied with the volume, length and degree of lash separation before mascara sets. Once it sets, you can no longer build.
Removal: Only when you are ready, blinc Mascara can easily be removed with a combination of warm water and gentle pressure with your fingertips. Pressure alone is not enough, and water alone is not enough. It must be a combination of lots of warm water and gentle pressure - for example taking a shower, will make the tiny tubes effortlessly slide off your lashes. You will actually see the tiny tubes in your hand. If you insist on using a makeup remover, you must use a water-base remover not an oil-based remover. Nothing oily can make it come off...not even if you have really oily skin.
Tip: With blinc Mascara, you will not have to re-apply mascara throughout the day since it does not flake away like most oil-based paint mascaras. Whether your daily activities take you from the office, to your sweaty workout and then out to dinner, you will look as good in the evening as it did in the morning.

Roger Ebert Has Strong Feelings on Huck Finn Controversy
Very strong, uncensored feelings.
The decision to omit racially sensitive words from a new edition of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has sparked controversy, and film critic Roger Ebert isn't backing away from the fight. Referring to the edition's most talked-about language substitution, he tweeted today, "I'd rather be called a Nigger than a Slave." Ebert's word usage will no doubt provoke a debate of its own, though whether you find it to be more controversial than his three-star review of Gulliver's Travels is wholly up to you.

Dinnerreviews.com©'s 5-Star Food Blog Awards are presented to a select few food bloggers whose sites and writing evoke the love of food in a universally appealing manner. Once every two months Dinnerreviews.com© will present this award to a food blogger somewhere in the world. We will also post an in-depth story all about their site and why they won. Congratulations to Mijune Pak for her award winning work with Follow Me Foodie, only our fourth 5-Star Food Blog Award Winner! Please enjoy our in-depth review of FollowMeFoodie.com.
A Dinnerreviews.com© Feature
5-Star Food Blog Award Winner
Driven by Passion
Reviewed by: Tom House
Come July 2011, food adventurer Mijune Pak's (pronounced Mee-June) compelling food blog will turn two years old! It's obvious as you read her blog, that this 24-year old wunderkind from Vancouver, BC, the beauty and brains behind the blog, has heard her calling and responded voraciously. She has come a long way in a very short time. From the moment I discovered Follow Me Foodie, I've been a fan. Since I've been following Mijune on Twitter (@followmefoodie) and enjoying her insatiable appetite for food and writing, she's posted multiple videos and stories featuring many new food adventures. Mijune is one serious, full time blogger, with the ability to please the masses. Even though she is drenched in talent, Mijune doesn't take herself too seriously. In her entertaining videos, she always has time for fun and a smile. To Mijune's credit, on Twitter, YouTube and her blog site, she never fails to respond to her fans in detail and with deep, heartfelt gratitude.
It's clear to me, her tenacity and dedication to her craft will lead to many more accolades more notable than our coveted Dinnerreviews.com© 5-Star Food Blog Award. For the record, I will state here and now that you're probably looking at one of the next Food Network (Canadian and /or American) Television Stars of the future.
The first thing you see when you arrive on Mijune Pak's FollowMeFoodie site is her smiling face offering you to take "one of her surprises!" Once you take the bait, and you will, you get an exclusive sneak-peek video teaser showing a slice of Mijune's foodie life. You'll hear catchy music and see the star of the show, Mijune, as she prepares for an evening of food vlogging and blogging. Click here to enjoy it!
There are many interesting sections on FMF, including Best Of, Location, Cuisine, Price and Features. Inside those categories, you'll find some clever ideas, such as Top 10, Best Foodie Moments and even Product Reviews. Inside the Cuisine category, one of my favorites sections is called Hole in the Wall, where simple restaurants are reviewed with just as much gusto as the many other fine dining establishments appearing throughout the site. Cuisine from all over the world is featured too! I'm still amazed at how many different areas and cuisines of the world Mijune has covered!
One of the best attributes of FMF and Mijune's work over all is her inability to lie! No matter what, you will get the truth from this blogger. Restaurants beware…if you can't handle the truth or the heat…get out of your own kitchen! Integrity rules on Mijune's blog. You have to respect that! If everything is great, she is happy to say so too! Her comprehensive rating system is applied to each restaurant review, or as Mijune likes to call them…restaurant experiences.
I asked Mijune a few questions, and here is what happened.
DR: How long has Follow Me Foodie been in existence?
Mijune: I started Follow Me Foodie in July 2009.
DR: You clearly have a passion for all things food & restaurant related… an enthusiasm that is authentic and contagious. Where does this love for your "work" come from?
Mijune: What's better than work that you can eat?! I love to eat, explore, discover and share. Everyone has to eat, so it's a very relatable subject. It's something that brings people together. I learn a lot about cultures and people through food, and I like to share that knowledge. I love changing the way people look at food and I want them to experience and taste what I do, whether it's through a new restaurant or ingredient. I look at food as more than just something you eat to get full. It's an art, and I admire the culinary training and talent that goes behind being a chef, or even just a cook. I love to be inspired by them, discover new dishes or talent and then make sure credit is given where it's deserved in the culinary scene. I love to see the many different interpretations for one ingredient. I'm also infatuated with the culture, authenticity, history, and science of food. I love it all… I could produce an essay on this question… oh wait… I think I just did
DR: The webisode idea is brilliant. You are a naturally entertaining on camera. I laughed when I watched your Olympic Burger piece from YEW Restaurant in downtown Vancouver. Is this something you aspire to do more of, on a higher level? Maybe even for network TV?
Mijune: Oh wow, thank you so much! The webisodes are the next step for me. I don't have any expectations from it, but I love doing them and I'm having so much fun! It would be great to share them with a larger audience, but I'm happy regardless. Part of what drives me is my audience, and as long as they're happy and I'm happy, I know I'm doing the right thing. I have the most devoted readers and I owe it to them to deliver bigger and better things. They've led to my growth and pretty much dictate my next steps. If bigger things happen from it then it was a team effort that got me there.
DR: Can you tell us what the latest breaking FMF news is?
Mijune: Recently I did an audition for Recipe to Riches and I'm still waiting to hear back. There are always side projects I have, but I don't want to give out too much info until they're confirmed. I would hate to get everyone hyped up, including myself, until all new projects are confirmed. Also I just released yet another new video series called
"Quickies". Check out the first one! Click Here!
DR: Your videos are high quality, your branding clear and the lead in music and display of your logo is excellent. The "putting on the apron" bit is very clever. I was really impressed by your new teaser video. You are successfully creating name brand recognition.
Mijune: Besides eating some of the most delicious foods and meeting some of the most remarkable culinary talents, I've also met great people and artists along the way. I'd really like to acknowledge Justin from www.threesixtyphoto.com and Steve Tan from www.stevetan.net who are masters at their crafts. They are the most dedicated camera crew and I'm so happy to have them as friends as well. Follow Me Foodie webisodes is a collective project and whenever it stops becoming fun or feels like work for any of us, I don't want to do it. Their friendship means more to me than that. Their goals have now become my goals and vice versa. It's a Follow Me Foodie family affair.
DR: I have always had an eye for talent, and want to be on record with my prediction that you may have your own dynamic food network show sooner than you think. Not just cooking…not just traveling to exotic places, not just tasting the best wines, but you'll have the opportunity to share what you love with millions of people. You are very "food-wise"…how did you get this way?
Mijune: My face is red as a beet! Oh wow… your prediction is so touching and overwhelming. To have people believe in Follow Me Foodie so much is exactly what I'm talking about. Whatever happens is because of the people reading, "following", commenting and giving me words of support. Without them, I'd still be blogging because I love it, but now I feel like I owe it to them to bring them bigger and better things.
Oh wow… "food-wise", thank you for thinking so. I'm quite honoured. I always state that I'm not a professional chef, critic, or journalist, as my blog is driven purely by passion. I've been lucky to travel a lot and to explore a lot of cuisines. I study, read, blog, cook, eat, tweet, and submerse myself with food knowledge and culture. With every bite I am training and strengthening my palate. I live and breathe it. I choose eating and blogging over sleep. I love to learn about food, and I still have lots more of learning and exploring to do. This is just the beginning, however, since I have been lucky to eat a lot and try different things it's given me a bigger database to work with, enabling me to provide more information or draw comparisons from a wider range.
DR: Lastly, please tell my thousands of daily readers why they should visit www.followmefoodie.com. What should they expect when they get there?
Mijune: I'm an average girl with a lot of passion for food… and a big appetite. What you'll get are honest dining experiences that are part of my everyday life. I write about the good and the bad. The format has stayed the same since the beginning. It's my food diary and it documents my culinary experiences locally and abroad. It also includes fun food events, contests, recipes, videos and most importantly restaurant experiences (reviews). I update daily, even when I'm on vacation and on weekends. Quite often my posts will be focused on one restaurant, photos of what I ate and a very detailed description about each item. I write so that you can almost taste it through your screen. I like to think it's pretty entertaining and energetic too, with random comments, quirky remarks and zingers (when deserved) here and there. The most important thing to me is staying honest and true to my readers and who I am. I should also mention my posts are often 10 pages long (2500 words) and they're incredibly detailed and thorough… I truly love what I do. I live and breathe this culinary world. I choose blogging over sleep, spending countless hours and endless nights writing about food because I love it. I certainly don't know everything, but I live to learn the most I can about it. In the end, if nothing greater comes out of FollowMeFoodie, although I already feel like I've won the lottery every day, I am doing what I love and having fun! Come join me on my culinary experiences!
DR: Thanks Mijune! I'm not sure the average person can keep up with your stomach stretching, mind boggling pace, but because of this story, many more will jump on for the ride if they're smart! One thing is for sure, they'll never be disappointed! It's been an honor to meet and get to know you. Even I am inspired by your dedication and boundless energy to the "work" we both love! Keep on EATing, twEATing and making us all drool! We'll continue to live vicariously through your amazing 5-Star Award Winning Food Blog!

Little Diner Xpress [Chicken Cobb Salad]
This little place has been on the Food In The Fox list for sometime now, but until today, we have done nothing but drive by. After driving from Green Bay back to Appleton (and somehow driving right through Wrightstown and not even noticing the town) we pulled into the tiny place located in almost the exact center of Appleton. I am not lying, look at the map below!
Small Place With A Good AC System
Anyways, the small place was almost completely filled up at 10:00. We found a booth and started looking through the lunch-dinner menu. They had a variety of salads, soups, breakfast items and sandwiches. There was also a special on the door that included 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 pieces of meat (bacon sausage or ham) for $3.99. That was a dang good deal for breakfast and from what I could tell it was an all day special kind of thing. One thing I am certain about, the air conditioning in the place was working. Working well. It was freezing in the place. I had goosebumps the entire time, but did I decide to order a hot cup of coffee? Or course not. I suffered in agony.
Big Flavor in a Tiny Building
They had a Chicken Cobb salad on the menu that caught my attention and decided to give it a whirl. It included tomatoes, red onion, bacon, hard-boiled egg and grilled chicken on top of a bed of lettuce. It also came with a side of greenish homemade dressing that tasted like a mix of cucumbers and horseradish. There was also a warm deep-fried bread stick that came with the salad. The salad was right sized and flavorful. There was nothing over the top about this Cobb salad, but the dressing had an extra spice to it and added a great taste to the vegetable filled salad. It was a small kick in the mouth, but a good small kick in the mouth.
Overall, this place now ranks pretty good in my book. It was fast, friendly, clean, priced right ($6.99 for the salad) and centrally located. The only down side about this place would be going during a busy time of day. Because the place is so small, it might be difficult to find a spot. Go check it out!
