Beaumont/Port Arthur
One of the best Po'boys in Southeast Texas can be found in one of the most unlikely of places.
Head to Port Arthur to Gulfway Drive. Go one block past Ninth Avenue across from the old Sabine bank to Amuny's Liquor & Deli.
Whether you are looking for a nice place to eat providing a good atmosphere for you and your special someone, a business meeting, a group of friends out for a night of fun, or just a wonderful relaxing meal for you and the family, put The Grill by Arfeen, Smith and Payne on your must-do list. You will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, the upscale surroundings, and a price point in line with many of Beaumont's better restaurants.
Raising Cane's is known for delicious, freshly cooked, never frozen chicken fingers that make you think you're back home in Mama's kitchen or on Grandmama's front porch in the summertime with your cousins.
Good reporters know if the interview is going to go well and if they will like the people, the service or, in this case, the food when they walk in the door of a business or a home. I wasn't disappointed when I met the charming Chris and Emily Swanson, learned about their business and the relocation of the company, and then I ate lunch. There wasn't anything not to like about the friendly people and the delicious food I sampled. I now understand why everyone is raving about what this young Beaumont couple has created.
Driving to 1147 Boston Ave. in Nederland provided a surprise like no other encountered on recent assignments. Arriving at my destination, a new restaurant, Finch Hutton, I had no idea what to expect. A gracious welcome to our party by an attentive staff impressed me right off the bat, but when I saw the menu offered at this French-American bistro, shock is a mild word to describe my feelings.
When personable Shannon Wilson went to work for The West Bar and Grill a decade and a half ago, he had no idea that he would one day own the place or that he would make such good lifetime friends from among the customers he came to know well. At that time, Allen and Debbie Peltier owned the bar and grill, and when they decided to sell, Shannon was given the first opportunity to buy the established business on Beaumont's west side.
My husband and I had the usual Friday or Saturday night conversation: "Would you like to get something to eat?" "Sure, where would you like to go?" And then the stall happens when neither knows the answer for sure. Each has a taste for something, but what?
Cowboys and cowgirls have known for years that if you want something cooked right, like it was in the older days of the wild, wild West, get out the old iron skillet inherited from grandparents or the old trail cook. Add some really fresh meat and vegetables, and use tested recipes to whip up a good meal, and sit down in a comfortable environment to enjoy it with friendly folks. Southeast Texans and others visiting our part of the country can still do that today, except that they don't have to stand over the campfire and do the actual cooking.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

About Ad van Denderen
Working within the tradition of Social Realism, photographer Ad van Denderen travels around Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, documenting the experiences of refugees, illegal immigrants, and other modern-day nomads. His oeuvre largely revolves around war, interrogation, internment, forced labor, and other institutional wartime practices that victimize these migratory peoples. In his most renowned series, "Go No Go" (1997-2010), he documented the privations suffered by the men and women who risk their lives illegally immigrating to Europe from the developing world. Van Denderen's photographs capture the entire process from his subjects' beginnings in their home countries to the different paths each takes upon arrival, ranging from capture and confinement to working illegally in order to survive.

The first of a two-part editorial was published in the Greenfield Recorder two days after the assassination of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. The killing, followed by rioting in many African-American neighborhoods, seemed to destroy King's "dream" of non-violent change. The editors capture the pessimism of those months, declaring that "the moral condition of the nation has reached a deplorable state." They criticize the violent minority who "take the law into their own hands" but also the moderate majority who ignore "poverty and oppression."

Four Northern Pass public hearings to be held this week
September 22. 2013 6:25PM
The U.S. Department of Energy will host four public hearings this week to discuss the proposed Northern Pass electric transmission line project.
The meetings are from 6 to 9 tonight at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord, from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Silver Center for the Arts at Plymouth State University, from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Mountain View Grand Resort and Spa in Whitefield and from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Colebrook Elementary School.
The controversial project would bring 1,200 megawatts of electricity from Canada through New Hampshire and proposes to build taller transmission towers that the project's opponents say would harm scenic views and property values.
Meanwhile, Gov. Maggie Hassan recently responded to a Boston Globe editorial that opined that the project's gains outweigh its costs, in which she wrote that she was disappointed that "the Globe perpetuated the myth that large-scale hydroelectric power and Northern Pass are one in the same."

Sept. 22, 2012
ALLENTOWN, PA - Visiting Johns Hopkins got a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown runs from junior JD Abbottand the 16th-ranked Blue Jays ran their regular season winning streak to 18 games with a 33-21 win over host Muhlenberg Saturday afternoon. In spoiling the Mules' Homecoming, the Blue Jays improve to 4-0 overall and 3-0 in the Centennial Conference. Muhlenberg slips to 3-1 overall and 2-1 in the Centennial. Johns Hopkins also extended its Centennial Conference winning streak to 16 games.
The Blue Jays led just 20-14 after Terrence Dandridge's 13-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, but the Blue Jays put together impressive scoring drives on their ensuing two possessions to take control.
Taking over at their own 25 after the Dandridge touchdown, the Blue Jays moved 75 yards in 15 plays with Abbott capping the drive with a nine-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter to give the Blue Jays a 26-14 lead.
Muhlenberg worked its way to the Johns Hopkins 45 on its next possession, but the drive stalled there and the Mules were forced to punt. Hopkins took over at its own 16 and needed just six plays to work the ball to the Mule 41. There, junior Robbie Matey went deep and found classmate Bob D'Orazioa step behind the defense inside the Muhlenberg 10 where he made a great diving catch along he sideline. Two plays later, Abbott went in from three yards out to make it 33-14 with just under seven minutes remaining.
Muhlenberg made it interesting down the stretch as Joe Hogh's 25-yard return of a blocked punt with 2:32 remaining made it 33-21, but Johns Hopkins' Brady Wattscovered the ensuing onsides kick and the Blue Jays got the one first down they needed to run out the clock and secure their third win over the Mules in the last four years.
Muhlenberg entered the game with the nation's top scoring defense as the Mules had allowed a total of just seven points in their first three games combined. It took the Blue Jays less than two minutes and just five plays and 1:56 to match that total as senior Jonathan Rigaudcapped Hopkins' game-opening drive with a 56-yard touchdown run right up the middle to give Hopkins an early 7-0.
Johns Hopkins had a golden opportunity to extend the early lead when a punt return and two personal fouls on the Mules gave the Blue Jays possession at the Muhlenberg 20-yard line. However, a tipped pass on JHU's first play resulted in an interception and the Mules took over at the 16.
From there, the Mules methodically moved 84 yards on 13 plays and capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown pass from senior Dan Deighan to classmate John Gruver, who got free in the back of the end zone and grabbed Deighan's rollout pass to knot the game.
The Blue Jays carried a 13-7 lead into the half on the strength of two Richie Carbonefield goals. The first, from 23-yards, capped a 16-play, 63-yard drive, while his career-best strike from 42 yards polished off a 14-play, 54-yard drive late in the quarter.
Matey and D'Orazio teamed to give the Blue Jays a 20-7 lead early in the third quarter as Matey fired a strike down the middle that D'Orazio grabbed right in front of a defender. He side-stepped two would-be tacklers and raced to the corner of the end zone to extend the six-point halftime lead to 13.
That lead held for just over five minutes as the 13-yard run by Dandridge came with 4:58 remaining in the third quarter. The first of Abbott's two touchdowns came on JHU's ensuing possession and extended a lead that Hopkins would never relinquish.
Rigaud and Abbott powered a ground game that accounted for 273 yards and three touchdowns. Rigaud had a game-high 131 yards and the one touchdown, while Abbott added 98 yards and the two scores.
Matey was 21-of-30 for 207 with the one touchdown and one interception. D'Orazio had seven receptions for 95 yards and the one score and the Blue Jay offense converted 11-of-18 third-down opportunities to build a 13-minute advantage in time of possession.
Deighan threw for 177 yards and the one touchdown and rushed for 42 yards. Isaiah Vaughn had three receptions for 104 yards and added 95 yard on four kickoff returns and Dandridge added 70 yards rushing and the one touchdown.
The Johns Hopkins defense held the Mules 100 yards below their season average and Muhlenberg converted just 4-of-13 third-down chances. Junior John Arena had a team-high eight tackles for the Blue Jays, who also got five tackles, including three for losses, from Matthew Connery.

Ensuring that the notice reaches its target
A district may go to great lengths to carefully craft a parent notice, only to find that parents never receive it. There are potentially many reasons for this occurrence, yet some key considerations will help districts ensure that parent notices reach their target audiences.
Knowing how information gets home: Sending the notice via mail or backpack. A notification letter may go unread for the simple reason that its manner of delivery was ineffective. Notices might be sent by regular mail or via an eligible student's backpack, and districts should consider which of these means is likely to be more effective in reaching parents. In some cases, sending a parent notice via regular mail can be ineffective, particularly, for instance, in communities where the rate of family mobility is high. In areas such as these—which might characterize many areas around the country, especially urban areas—sending notices via students' backpacks may have a greater likelihood of reaching parents than a mailing to an address at which a family no longer resides.
While a backpack mailing may in some instances prove to be a more effective means of reaching parents of elementary school students for whom this type of communication is common and expected, it may be less effective at reaching parents of older students whose backpacks are not always as accessible. Thus, in addition to issues related to family mobility, some districts also consider students' grade level when determining how best to notify parents of their public school choice and SES options. A district could decide to notify parents of elementary school students via backpack, and parents of middle and high school students via regular mail. A district could also decide to send notices through both means so as to increase the likelihood of reaching parents.
Knowing whom parents trust: Sending the notice from the district or the school. Even if a notification letter gets into parents' hands, it might still go unread for the simple reason that parents may be apprehensive of the letter's author and therefore decide to discard it before removing it from its envelope. One way that districts have helped prevent this from occurring is by being mindful of whom parents trust. In some areas, parents may be suspicious of any official communication from the district, but they may be more comfortable receiving correspondence from their child's school, perhaps because of relationships they may have established with teachers or school officials. In other areas, for any of a variety of reasons, the opposite may be true. Either way, districts should have a reasonable sense of which case generally applies to their parents and should consider sending parent notices from whichever level—district or school—holds more trust among the parent community. The responsibility for notifying parents remains, of course, with the district.
A district could also decide to send notices from both the district and the school, and in so doing can further emphasize to parents the value of these options to their child's education.
For more information on involving schools and school staff in parent outreach activities, see "Involving schools and school staff" on p.14.
Distributing notices through broader means. Whether sending individual parent notices via backpack or regular mail, from the district or from the school, districts can further ensure parents are informed by including general versions of the notices in broader communications. For example, districts have included such versions in district newsletters and have posted them on Web sites. Schools have done likewise as well as made copies available to parents at school sites.
Some districts and schools have also included notices about SES opportunities in communications to families about their eligibility for free or reduced-price meals.

The Bar Mitzvah ceremony is Judaism's second most important ceremony for Jewish males, the first being ritual circumcision on the eighth day of life. While ritual circumcision, or Brit Mila, initiates a male Jewish child into the covenant of his people, the ceremony of Bar Mitzvah initiates a boy into manhood at age 13. Upon reaching this plateau, a young man obtains the rights of Jewish Manhood, including being counted in a Minyan or prayer group requiring at least 10 Jewish males to conduct formal Jewish prayer. It also allows a young man the honor of being called to the Torah, Judaism's most sacred text, and is a major milestone in his Jewish education and preparation towards all the responsibilities of an adult, including marriage and heading a family.
The origins of the formal Bar Mitzvah ceremony date back at least to the period of the Second Temple and though customs differ somewhat in various Jewish cultures, including European or Ashkenazi backgrounds verses Sephardic or Oriental cultures. The basic ceremony of being called up to the Torah for the first time, and reading portions from both this holy scroll and from the Haphtarah or supplemental readings based on the Torah, are more or less the same in all of Jewish tradition.
When a young man approaches age 13, he begins studying for this ceremony including learning special melodies or trope in order to chant the verses from the holy readings of the Torah and Haphtarah portions for the Shabbat that he is to become a Bar Mitzvah. In many Jewish cultures, this also includes the Thursday preceding Shabbat as this enables proud parents and relatives to take photographs of his chanting from the Torah, an act forbidden on Shabbat. In Israel, this event can be even more meaningful as it is often done before the Kotel or Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. Some people living abroad consider this act to be of such importance that they actually travel to Israel in order for their child to be formally initiated into Jewish Manhood in front of Judaism's most sacred symbol: the last remaining portion of the Temple.
In American, non-orthodox congregations, the mothers and other female relatives of the Bar Mitzvah have a greater role in the religious part of the ceremony with the entire family often invited to join the young man on the Bimah or platform where the Rabbi and the Torah reader are located to receive a special rabbinical blessing on Shabbat. In some conservative and reform congregations, the mother is even given the same honor as her husband in being called up to the Torah. Upon finishing his Haphtarah reading the Bar Mitzvah is often bombarded with sweets being thrown at him by his family, guests, and by members of the congregation.
After the Rabbinical blessing, the Bar Mitzvah may give a small talk or sermon to thank those who prepared him for this special moment in his life, as well as express what this occasion means to him and his ascent into Jewish Manhood. The ceremony of becoming a Bar Mitzvah is truly a milestone in the life of every young Jewish male.
In addition to the religious element, this event is also accompanied by parties and even formal banquets for the young man, his family and friends. These parties can range from being simple family get-togethers to very elaborate affairs, costing thousand of dollars; with limitations only to the parent's (and grand parent's) pocketbooks.
In addition to receiving various religious articles such as books, prayer shawls or talitim and the leather tifillim worn daily by religious Jewish men in morning prayers, the young man also receives numerous Bar Mitzvah Gifts of both money and personal items which add to the excitement of the occasion. In recent years Bar Mitzvah gifts have included more Israeli made products like unique Hamsa Hands and Jewish jewelry handcrafted by leading Israeli artists.

New Zealand Rugby
Carter not included on Player of the Year shortlist
ESPN Staff
December 10, 2012
Dan Carter may have won the IRB Player of the Year honour but he does not even make the shortlist for New Zealand's top award © Getty Images
Newly-crowned International Rugby Board Player of the Year Dan Carter has failed to make the shortlist for New Zealand's Player of the Year award.
Carter recently fought off competition from New Zealand team-mate Richie McCaw, France's Frederic Michalak and England's Owen Farrell to be named the world's best international player in 2012 but the New Zealand Rugby Union clearly think he was not even one of the best three All Blacks in the last 12 months.
McCaw heads the three-man shortlist for the prestigious Kelvin R Tremain Memorial Player of the Year award having steered the All Blacks to the inaugural Rugby Championship title. The talismanic flanker will be attempting to claim the honour for the fourth time but will face stiff competition from another previous winner in No.8 Kieran Read who has received widespread praise for his endeavour for the All Blacks this year.
Veteran centre Conrad Smith completes the line-up and will be chasing an awards double having also been nominated for the Super Rugby Player of the Year gong thanks to his efforts for the Hurricanes earlier this year. Crusaders playmaker Carter also fails to earn a nomination for this award with title-winning Chiefs duo Aaron Cruden and Craig Clarke set to vie for the judges' vote with Smith.
The winner of both awards will be announced in Auckland on December 14.

Visual Learning: A Slow, Press-ious Process
Images, photos, and pictures stimulate the mind. For the viewer, they offer a chance to connect and question. They also offer potential for play and imagination, and pulling the observer into purposeful messages.
Most often, newspaper and magazine readers take a quick glance at photos and their captions. With this YES! lesson plan, you and your students can luxuriate—and pause—to truly understand an image, its message, and why it's interesting (or not).
Download this lesson plan as a PDF (130kb)
Step One: What do you notice? (before the facts)
Ask your students to make sense of the photograph by trusting their instincts of observation and inference. In doing so, the photograph offers possibilities and interpretations beyond a typical reading where the reader glances at the picture to reinforce their interpretation of the picture's title or caption. Do not introduce any facts, captions, or other written words outside of the image. You may hear: thick yellow liquid, brown cracked basin, coconut-like bowl, silver disk with pockmarks, black beak.
Step Two: What are you wondering? (thinking about the facts)
After you've heard what your students are noticing, you'll probably hear the peppering of questions: (What is this? What is the yellow liquid? Is it a drink? Why are there holes on the bowl? Is that a black beak or mussels?) This is a good time to reveal the photo's caption, accompanying quote, and facts about the actual situation. Watch how the conversation shifts from what they believe to be true to discerning the facts about the photo.
- Photo caption:
"Organic mustard seed oil, traditionally pressed using an ox attached to a wooden pressing machine at the UBINIG center in Tangall, Bangladesh." Photo by Suzanna Finley.
- Photo facts:
This wooden pressing machine is used for the traditional Bangladeshi method of processing mustard seed oil. With each lap, the ox crushes the mustard seeds into oil, which is channeled into a metal vessel. The oil is used and sold locally. It is not exported.
UBINIG is the abbreviation of its Bengali name Unnayan Bikalper Nitinirdharoni Gobeshona. In English it means Policy Research for Development Alternatives.
UBINIG strives to preserve traditional knowledge and practice of local farmers and artisans. It supports the development of sustainable communities, and sees agriculture, not as an industry, but as a local sustainer and viable way of life. UBINIG farmers pledge not to use pesticides or chemicals on their crops nor GMO seeds for planting. One change is reverting tobacco crops into indigenous food crops.
Mustard seed oil has a pungent smell and hot, nutty taste. It is prevalent in Indian cooking. The oil is high in Omega-3 fatty acids and brings protection against heart disease. It is also used in massages.
- Other resources around the image:
LEARN: Food In Dry Times
READ: Environment and Food in Haiti: Two Crises, One Solution
Step Three: What next? (jumping off the facts)
Learning more about a photo leads to bigger questions and an opportunity to discuss broader issues and perspectives.
- What are the benefits of reverting back to local, traditional ways of farming? Of keeping locally made goods for local consumption as opposed to export?
- Genetically modified seeds (GM) have found their way into a number of countries' agricultural systems, including the U.S., China, and South Africa. Proponents claim GM seeds yield higher agricultural productivity and ensure food security. Others maintain these seeds are unsafe to eat and destroy other seeds and crops. Are GM seeds a beneficial agricultural choice or one that countries can and should avoid?
- Canola and soybeans are the two most common oil seeds used for biodiesel fuel. There has been extensive research on mustard seed as a possible source. What factors make these seeds viable feedstock for alternative fuel? Why use biodiesel?

I expect that the activities of the EDA Consortium (EDAC), our industry's main trade organization, are followed more closely by EDA vendors than users. However, some of you may have seen the recent publicity surrounding the organization's name change to the Electronic System Design Alliance (ESDA). I applaud this move because it reflects the gradual but ongoing merger of EDA and embedded systems, a topic that we have covered here on The Breker Trekker in the past.
However, I do have two reservations about the specifics of the name change. First, as some people have pointed out, "ESD" is strongly associated with "electrostatic discharge" for us engineers who have worked on actual lab benches and not just in the world of abstract EDA models. But that's a minor quibble as far as I'm concerned. My bigger issue is that EDAC did not use the name change as a chance to expand from "design" to "development" in its description of scope. Please continue reading as I expand a bit on all three of these points.

Brody telepsychiatry network to expand across N.C.
Aug. 16, 2013
By Doug Boyd
ECU News Services
GREENVILLE —Hospital mental health services across the state will get a boost thanks to the expansion of an East Carolina University program that delivers expertise through a telemedicine network.
Gov. Pat McCrory and N.C. Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Aldona Wos joined ECU leaders in Greenville today to announce the expansion.
State appropriations of $4 million over the next two years will grow a program that has served 14 hospitals in eastern North Carolina to 60 to 80 hospital emergency departments across the state. The majority of North Carolina emergency departments do not have access to a full-time psychiatrist, according to a 2010 study.
"There are a lot of other things that get publicity, but the thing that keeps me awake at night is substance abuse and mental health," McCrory said during the announcement at Ross Hall on the campus of ECU. "This is an issue we can't run away from. We have to reach out and help them."
The statewide telepsychiatry program will begin operating in January. It will link hospital emergency departments to mental health professionals who can initiate treatment for emergency department patients in mental health or substance abuse crisis.
Gloria Jones of the ECU Telemedicine Center; Dr. Kaye McGinty, an ECU psychiatrist; Dr. Aldona Wos, secretary of the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services; and Gov. Pat McCrory watch a demonstration of a telepsychiatry assessment.
By using secure, real-time interactive audio and video technology at the bedside, telepsychiatry will enable mental health providers to diagnose and treat people needing care at any remote referring site. The program will be overseen by the DHHS Office of Rural Health and Community Care.
Dr. Sy Saeed, chair of psychiatric medicine at the Brody School of Medicine at ECU, was out of town during the announcement but spoke earlier about the impact of the telepsychiatry program.
"There is no health without mental health," Saeed said. "If you don't have professionals in the area, you have a problem. (The program is) growing, and we serve a much larger number of patients with telepsychiatry than we were ever able to reach."
The expansion builds on the success of ECU's Center for Telepsychiatry and e-Behavioral Health and the Albemarle Hospital Foundation Telepsychiatry Project. The General Assembly's Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Health and Human Services recommended this project.
The system works like this: A nurse rolls a portable cart outfitted with a monitor, camera and microphone into the patient's bay or room, establishes a secure link to the psychiatric provider site and introduces the patient to an "intake specialist" on the other end who's already reviewed the patient's information. This psychologist or social worker explores the patient's situation and gathers more information from family members.
A psychiatrist then interviews the patient and makes a recommendation to the referring hospital physician, who is ultimately responsible for care decisions.
According to federal guidelines, 58 counties in North Carolina now qualify as Health Professional Shortage Areas due to a lack of mental health providers. Today, patients often receive less-than-optimum care or wait, sometimes several days or more, because of the lack of mental health practitioners, McCrory said.
Mental health patients have also been a growing burden for the state's emergency departments. Making up 9.3 percent of E.D. visits, the number of people with a mental health problem as a leading diagnosis is nearly double the national average, according to researchers at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill. The figures don't include substance abuse.
To expand the program, ECU will develop a provider network and set technology infrastructure and guidelines for administering the program. An advisory group will work with the Statewide Telepsychiatry Program to promote collaboration among partners.
"This project is about providing evidence-based mental health care to our patients regardless of where they may be located in North Carolina," said Saeed. "As we do that, we are beginning to bridge the gap between science and practice that exists today in all areas of medicine."
ECU's telemedicine program has been in continuous operation since its inception in 1992, making it one of the longest running clinical telemedicine operations in the world.
Since the Albemarle Hospital Foundation telepsychiatry program began in 2011, more than 4,000 psychiatric assessments have been provided to patients in emergency departments experiencing a mental health crisis. Initial project outcomes include reduction in patients' lengths of stay, reductions in 30-day recidivism rates and reductions in involuntary commitments to inpatient psychiatric facilities. Specifically, lengths of stay for patients discharged to inpatient treatment have dropped from an average of 48 hours pre-telepsychiatry to 22.5 hours since the program began.
That program is funded by a three-year, $1.6 million grant from The Duke Endowment and managed by the Albemarle Hospital Foundation in partnership with Vidant Health and the Brody School of Medicine.

Full disclosure could have prevented this 'war' between the sexes
On Feb. 7, 2010, for many football fans around the globe, the year will come to a screeching halt. Until the season starts again in the fall, the months will drag by slowly enough to make a congressional filibuster feel speedy.
Superbowl 44 will mark the fi- nal battle of the season, followed by a celebration for the victorious team. However, the biggest fight will take place off the field.
In living rooms, recreation rooms and media rooms across the country, the war between "football fans" and Superbowl "party fans" will be in full swing throughout the game.
Let's not mince words here. It's about time this subject was brought out in the open and put to rest.
There are those who assume the position by parking their butts in front of a television or at a stadium throughout football season to watch 16 weeks of football and four weeks of play-offs.
They want to celebrate the end of the season with the game of games, the legendary Superbowl. You know who you are.
Then there are those who hate football and want to celebrate the end of the season with a gala party. And you know who you are.
Those who hate football want to ruin the Superbowl for those who love football by celebrating the end of the season with such fervor during the final game that the football lovers cannot hear or see the contest.
They accomplish their goal in several ways.
They talk and screech in unison so the game announcer cannot be heard. While they are doing
that, they parade back and forth in front of the screen, and sometimes stop to hold conversations there so the football fans cannot watch the action.
However, the football haters do watch the screen at half-time so they can see the commercials and the half-time extravaganza. Nonetheless, as soon as the game continues, they announce that dinner is served so the play by play is interrupted by a parade of bodies holding plates stacked with goodies. Again, the screen is blocked as if it were a minor annoyance interrupting their revelry.
Those who love football think a Superbowl party is a fantastic way to honor the game that is as American as apple pie. Those people believe that the celebration is a great way to enjoy the tradition with their friends who are of like mind.
Now comes the rub. The football fans invite their buddies, who are also football fans, who bring guests who are not football fans to said party.
Then, the battle begins.
Are you with me? Have I drawn the proverbial line in the sand? Is this what has happened every year for 43 insufferable, annoying Superbowls?
Let's identify this seeming deadlock for the demon that it is. Some see it as the ultimate battle between the sexes.
He is going to say that he works hard all week and deserves to enjoy a little time doing what he wants for only 16 weeks out of the year.
She is going to say that the 16 weeks are followed by a month of play-offs and the Sunday afternoon game time is then filled by 39 weeks of NASCAR as seasons cross, punctuated by baseball, hockey, basketball and golf.
He will counter with, "That is when she goes shopping and spends my hard-earned money." She will say that she also works all week and spends their hardearned money on really stupid stuff like food, clothes for the children and household necessities.
She will also say that it would be nice to have a little help once in a while, because that kind of shopping is not a pleasurable task.
The football fan does not appear to be winning this game. It looks as if we might be dealing with a sports addict.
She will say, "He wasn't like this when he courted me." He will say, "She never said she didn't like sports."
She will say, "I thought that getting married meant sharing a life together." He will say, "So why doesn't she share my love for sports?"
I think we can see that compromises could be made on both sides of the ball. The fault lies in bad contract negotiations before joining the team. Both sides are guilty of not making full, truthful disclosure, creating a war that can't be won.
I choose to treat it as part of a system we can't understand.

still looking
Well I did a search in this section and this thread popped up. I was looking for a recommended gun smith in NW Indiana through the search. Is there no one around to recommend, or is it frowned upon?

No, it's not frowned upom at all, but many people on this forum are not in IN. Have you tried looking at the Midway USA site? They have a "gunsmith locator" section to help people find smiths.

Thanks Scorch, I've not tried the Midway site. I'm kind of surprised that you mention Indiana not having many TFL members. I guess that never occured to me. We (Indiana) seem to be doing well as far as our 2nd am. rights.

Hmmmmmm. Looked on the Midway site, and apparently you are right, no gunsmith locator any more. Oh well!
I didn't mean that IN didn't have its fair share of gun owners, just that this site had lots of gun enthusiasts from all over the country. IN probably only has about 2% (1/50th) of the gun owners in the country (assuming normal distribution, etc).

Check the mirror
This time, last year I took a rifle (1917 Enfield) to a gunsmith, the second time I had taken that rifle to a gunsmith, and different gunsmiths each time. I bought it for $100 and wanted a scope mounted on it. The first gunsmith did an awful job and the rear scope mount screw broke off. I took it to another guy to have the headspace checked, he removed the barrel cost me $100 and 2 months, and said it was excessive. I bought a field gauge (which he said it "swallowed"), screwed the barrel back in hand tight, and it's fine. He said he must have "accidentally fixed it" and I was "ahead of the game". I bought a lathe last summer and various tools and have been doing work I'm happy with and have a nice hobby to boot. It's not for everyone, but it's an option.

all USA gunsmith list
Check this site.
and I, too, have a story.....
I took a misbehaving shotgun (failed to eject spent shell) to a "gunsmith" in Hawthorne Florida. He decided that a certain, fairly costly part had to be purchased, and asked me if I agreed to that. I said "Sure, if it will do the job". He then stopped in his tracks, frowned, and said that since I questioned his decision, he wanted nothing to do with the job, handed the shotgun back to me, and told me to leave. Anyhow, I sent the shotgun away to a smith I found on Accuratereloading.com ....and he simply changed the position of a tiny part in the gas system. The gun then worked perfectly.
When in the Hawthorne shop, I should have smelled that coming. Before we had even started on the subject of my shotgun, he picked a REALLY pitted, buggered Luger frame off his bench, and proudly showed it to me, as his latest "score".
Incompetents are everywhere, as well as (it seems) some real nut cases.
There is a wonderful gunsmith (Dennis Olson) in Plains, Montana (at 500 Main Street, I think). If (literally) my life depended on the quality of a certain gun project.....he would be the one I would talk with.

Screwing in the bbl hand tight will not give a true reading of head spacing. The bbl must be tightened down all the way for an accurate reading.

That gunsmith list is extensive, but by no means complete, it relies on gunsmiths going and registering their business on it.
Yes, hand tightening a barrel is not the proper way to check headspace, but in this case it pointed out the error of the man's method. The headspace would get tighter as you tighten the barrel up further.

Handguns; pistols...
A top resource for handguns & pistolsmiths is the American Pistolsmiths Guild.
They list members by type of service or noted work or by the state.
For pistols & the M&P line; see David Bowie of OH. Bowie(not the rock legend ) is a gunsmith & a sworn LE officer/SWAT commander.

The M1917 barrel shank has 10 threads per inch (easy to keep up with) 1 turn = .100". I have no clue why the barrel was removed, but, being separated was a good thing. Transfers, standards and verifying, the field reject gage is a standard, meaning the field reject gage could have been chambered before the barrel was secured by hand, after securing the barrel carefully by hand the length of the chamber could have been measured, I do not have enough ambition to convince anyone it could can be done. The go, no and beyond head space gage puts those working on and checking the length of the chamber into a rut, the length of the chamber can be measured from the bolt face to the shoulder in thousandths from minimum length to infinity. The go-gage length chamber for the 30/06 is .005" longer than minimum length or as it is said by reloaders 'full length sized'.
Field reject gage: The field reject gage can be used to measure the length of the chamber from minimum length to go-gage length to field reject length in thousandths, that is 14 different length with one gage, meaning the smith that removed the barrel could have determined the length of the chamber from the bolt face to the shoulder of the chamber in thousandths with out removing the barrel. But, after the barrel was removed the length of the chamber could have been measured in thousandths (again) from the bolt face to the shoulder.
Installing the barrel on the 03 and M1917, both barrels have an extractor cut, meaning the barrel must be indexed. Hand tight? When metal bottoms out against a clean/square surface metal the the two mating surfaces will not get much closer unless the person securing the barrel chooses to pass the draw-to-line of pull the threads etc., etc.. There is no shortage of tools around here, there is no shortage of multipliers like 4 foot round and or square tubes used on the end of an action wrench, again, with all that leverage getting the receiver mating surface closer to the barrel seating surface is not as easy as it is described in this thread, after hand tight.
Once in my life: I was looking for parts at one of my favorite places, while waiting a proud owner of one very fine rifle wanted the head space checked, the smith/owner said he could not check the head space on the rifle because he did not have a head space gage for his chamber, the customer left. Then, I got involved, I informed the owner/smith I can check head space (length of the chamber from the bolt face to the shoulder) on any rifle with out a go, no or beyond gage. And, he ask "HOW?"
When the field reject gage would not allow the draw line to align the user knew the head space was less than .014" , on the M1917 it is possible to determine how much less as in thousandths.

Questions for The Montana Fish Company Chef
Ever wonder how the chefs get that beautiful crust on their fish fillets? It isn't hard to do, once you learn a few tips:
- Make sure your pan gets hot. I mean really hot, as in heated on high heat for at least 3-5 minutes.
- Only then do you add oil or butter.
- When the oil or butter gets hot, slide in the fish fillets. If they are thin you can keep the heat high. If they are thick, turn it down as low as medium for a steak, medium-high for a fat fillet.
- Don't mess with it! Constant flipping is death to a good crust. Let the fish cook. If you do, then a crust will form and the fillet will release easily when you do flip it. Once. Once, I tell you!
- Let the first side cook two-thirds of the fillet. Then flip to finish the rest.
- Serve the prettier side face up on the plate.
- One last thing: When you have gone to all this work for a nice sear, put your sauce underneath the fish. Putting it on top will ruin it.

Skip to comments.Rep. [Jim] Moran Walks a Libelous Line (Ecumenical)
Posted on 12/04/2010 12:46:16 PM PST by Pyro7480
Rep. Jim Moran, Democrat of Virginia, is angry at Catholic League president Bill Donohue for protesting the anti-Christian video that was removed from the Smithsonian Institution; it was part of a larger art exhibit. What he said about Donohue, as quoted in the Washington Post, went beyond mere criticism. Moran said Donohue "implicitly condoned all the pedophilia that was going on in the church."
Donohue responds today:
Congressman Moran has been accused of being an anti-Semite by his own Jewish colleagues in the House of Representatives, and he has a track record of bashing the Catholic Church. So it is not a shocker that he has returned to the well again.
Moran can call me any name he wants, but he is walking a libelous line to say that I condone sexual abuse. The law aside, it is despicable that a sitting congressman would make such an outrageously indefensible accusation. Any time he wants to debate me on this issue, or any other, I will be glad to make the necessary media contacts.
Moran is a loose cannon and a disgrace to the United States Congress. We will make sure his colleagues learn of his latest outburst.
Catholic ping!
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
The only funny thing about little Jimmy Moran is that he really believes that he is some kind of tough guy.
Despite the wife-beating-on-the-front-lawn episode and the assault-on-the-little-boy-who-was-"hijacking"-his-car episode, HE KEEPS BEING RE-ELECTED. What is wrong with people in that district? He is a useless, ignorant, total moron who votes the Dem party line. A disgrace.
I just hope someday, somehow I get a chance at Moran! What a pleasure it would be.
So, if you had a district with an overwhelming majority of typical Democrats they'd probably vote for an alcoholic, bullying wife beater who abuses children.
You have people just like that in your own district ~ which is why you should never turn your back on a Democrat.
They can't be trusted.
Ok Patton, why do your earth watching falls church neighbors keep reelecting this contemptible scumbag? Why does he get a pass EVERY SINGLE time he opens his damn yap like this?
Don't you think as the House moves more and more Conservative, Moron's constituents will become, in effect, without representation? He will be relegated to the back bench...a very minor member of various committees, without any influence....a monumental disappointment to his deadbeat-American constituents....
Jim doesn't care. He lives in his own world.
Because Lincoln won the war?
In other words, I don't know!
MOran was in fact a USMC Golden Gloves boxer, and he has physically attacked those who disagreed with him both in Congress and out on the streets. He continues to appear truculent and menacing when confronted by critics..
But he's nearly 65 now.
BTW, MOran is also a wife beater.
Because they read Nicholas fenton's moronic Falls Church red diaper baby free newspaper and believe everything in it!
Benton, sctually. But you are correct.
And benton's gay to boot, isn't he?
Oh, big time. A big time gay activist.
According to his Congressional biography, he graduated from college in 1967 (age 22) and spent the next three years getting a master's degree before spending 6 years as a government bureaucrat. Not a hint of any military service there.
I am aware that he courageously beat the snot out of his first wife on multiple occasions, though.
In the good old days, Moran would have been turned into an ember instead of elected as a member.
Maybe MOran "added" descriptions of military service.
Interesting, indeed.
Not to toot my own horn, but I'm a Vietnam vet who will finally be forced to retire next month from the reserves, and phony vets of any stripe really get my goat!
If Moron had any honor or integrity, he would defer to somebody who could help his voters....he has to know that as a rep, he will have no, none, zero, zip, nada influence on anything.
.........I continue to hope that most people have some reasoning power. You know, be able to figure out the results of actions and keep on doing the same thing if the results are good, and change them if the results are destructive.....
....but, sigh...then....the pictures of the starving mother somewhere in Africa holding an also starving, bloated bellied baby with its teeth hanging out, flies lined up around its mouth and eyes, and the mother pregnant with another child......
....ignorance is the most destructive force on the face of the earth.

Marathons to face iPod ban?
Watch those shoelaces too
Apple and Nike may think the upcoming London Marathon is the perfect promotion for their musical exercise gadgets. However, the global body behind marathons is considering banning audio players in case runners hurt themselves whilst changing
lanes tracks.
The IAAF Road Running Commission is the world's governing body for marathons and it plans to meet this September to discuss the controversial issue of musical-assisted running. So, London's marathon runners may be safe for this year's event, but the body still believes portable audio players pose a hazard to individual runners, or those around them.
North America has a separate marathon governing body, USA Track and Field, which has already imposed the so-called 'iPod ban' for insurance reasons. It found that costs rise significantly if runners wear audio players or devices with wired headphones.
However, the London Marathon's race director, David Bedford, recently told The Guardian that a similar law would be "completely unenforceable" in the UK.
Banning any form of portable audio gadget from marathons could be overstretching the mark though. Runners could just wear knee and elbow pads instead, with rear-view mirrors attached to their heads to ensure they can still cut-up other runners without causing a pile-up.

BiologyCommon in outer reef slopes at depths below 15 m, also occurs in protected bays and lagoons as shallow as 4 m. May also be found down to a depth of 160 m. At Madagascar it feeds night and day on brachyuran crabs, fishes, shrimps, and galatheid crabs (Ref. 6774). In Kenyan waters it feeds on crabs, stomatopods, fishes, ophiuroids, and octopus (Ref. 6448). In the Red Sea, mostly fishes and some crustaceans (mainly crabs) are consumed (Ref. 6699).

The situation: I think you might be well-versed on this one. Donovan McNabb's gone. Kevin Kolb is the man. And Michael Vick is here - for now.
Kolb will be the unquestioned starter and will be given every chance to succeed. Vick is the backup, as of today. Both guys are entering the final year of their deals. For Kolb, that could certainly change - either before the season or during the season. For Vick, it won't.
Paul Domowitch of the Daily News reported recently that the Eagles are still looking to deal Vick, which makes sense. If that happens, there have been grumblings that Jeff Garcia could be back.
Depth: The Eagles currently have two quarterbacks on their roster. That will obviously have to change. Much depends on how they view Vick, if he's still with the team at the start of next season. If they are comfortable with him playing and having success, they would need to add a third quarterback as insurance.
But if they are not confident in Vick as a backup, the Eagles would have to look for someone better, who could serve the role Kolb had last season.
The outlook: Here's my guess at how the Eagles would prefer this situation to play out: Find a team who's willing to take Vick. This might mean lowering their asking price or potentially making a deal that is based on Vick's performance in 2010. Sign a backup such as Garcia - a guy without a significant learning curve, who can come in and play in the event that Kolb should go down with an injury. And then draft a third quarterback in the middle rounds. A guy who can sit back and learn for a year or two and then assume the backup role to Kolb.
Do the Eagles absolutely have to draft a quarterback? No. They could sign a veteran and go with Vick as Kolb's backup, which would mean finding another backup next offseason. But my guess is they've highlighted some guys they like (they've certainly been linked to enough QBs during the workout/official visit period), and if one of those players becomes available, they'll grab him.

Earlier, we offered draft outlooks for offensive tackle and guard/center.

March madness has arrived and the fishing has followed suite, spring fishing offers great action for a variety of species. Anglers should expect spectacular fishing the next few weeks as many should be gearing up for the up coming mullet run.
Snook action is superior along sea walls, docks, sand and grass flats. Early morning snook are active taking heddon spooks walked slowly near structure. As the sun rises jigs and live baits take precedence. Anglers are having great success jigging the bottom enticing snook to feed. Green colors have been the go to, 1/8 jig heads allow anglers to work baits, feeling every move and strike. The real low tides we received the past week, allowed my anglers to enjoy great sight fishing action along mangrove banks and sea walls. The snook are basking in the sun, staying stealth is the key, live baits and jigs worked in front of snook and lead slowly, triggers strikes. Smaller snook are schooling in deep holes in the river most of these fish are fat snook, with a few tarpon snook in the mix. Slot sized fish, I found are lurking in the shallows were drop offs and deep water access are close by. Average size of the snook has ranged from 2 to 15 pounds.
Grass flats and muddy bottom areas are holding trout, jacks, drum, flounder, ladyfish, and blues. Live baits drifted with corks entice strikes. Jigging another way to cover more ground allows anglers to feel the strike and is gratifying as well. The trout have been small the past week but still great to have them in the area, bigger females are around deeper holes and drop offs. The flounder have been found on the flats but also along sea walls as well, they are ranging from 1 to 3 pounds.
The sea walls are still making home for the big jacks, these fish are 10 to 30 pounds. Feeling strong just cast out a live mullet or top water spook and 10 to 15 minutes later let me know when its boat side. The jacks are schooled up and the smaller 5 pound jacks are in pods of 20 to 40 fish.
Tarpon action has slowed down not many fish being caught but still seeing fish on the surface. Hopefully once he mullet run begins the tarpon bite will fire back up. The smaller juveniles are easier to entice at times, taking jigs and live baits free lined with the tide.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week hope you all enjoyed. Remember you cant catch them from the couch so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines! Capt. Craig Korczynski, PhlatsInshoreFishing.com, 561-644-4371

STOCKTON - The spirited students at Aspire Rosa Parks Academy paid homage to their namesake Friday morning on National Freedom Day.
STOCKTON - The spirited students at Aspire Rosa Parks Academy paid homage to their namesake Friday morning on National Freedom Day.
"She was an important American who didn't give up her seat," read Saniya Taylor, a confident second-grader. "Her actions helped change laws across America. ... She would like for all people to be treated with dignity and respect."
Saniya, 7, was part of a 45-minute outdoor program on the school's concrete courtyard that honored Rosa Parks, who would be 100 on Monday. Parks died in 2005.
Several dozen parents and all of the school's 384 students took part.
The event was organized by Michael Harris of the Sacramento-based California Black Agricultural Working Group.
"It was a great honor to be asked to host this. We're a perfect location," said Natalie June, who has been the Aspire Rosa Parks principal for three years.
The celebration at 1930 S. D St. began with a parent breakfast before moving outside. The students, surrounded by bright yellow-and-blue balloons, sat cross-legged in rapt attention.
"In 2000, we helped create the holiday. We have celebrated Rosa Parks Day around the state," Harris said. "Why not here for the centennial? We have been well received."
Fourth- and fifth-grade students, the oldest on the campus, also sang about Rosa Parks. Part of their chorus: "Thank you, Sister Rosa, you are the spark. You started our freedom movement."
In 1955, Parks, who has been called "the first lady of civil rights," refused to obey a bus driver's order that she give up her seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Ala. In the years since, she has become a symbol of nonviolent resistance worldwide.
The school's founding principal, Mary Welch, is now an area superintendent for Aspire Public Schools. She also spoke.
"This school started in 2005," Welch said. "And we let the community decide the name. Rosa Parks is such a good representative of what is good. She represents courage, leadership and how to solve problems in a peaceful way.
"We try to model her life."
February is Black History Month. National Freedom Day represents the day President Abraham Lincoln signed the congressional resolution that later became the 13th Amendment, which outlaws slavery.
Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton, was part of the program.
On Jan. 23, he made a speech recognizing Parks' 100th birthday on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
On Friday, he presented a framed copy of those remarks to the school, and he spoke to the chilly students.
"Seeing your enthusiasm inspires me to do a better job," McNerney said. "Rosa Parks stood up, or should I say sat down, and it changed the world. That's what Aspire is all about. You can change the world."
Before they left for the classrooms, the students loudly recited the school creed, which emphasizes college as a goal, giving 100 percent, respecting others and the idea that "every second matters."
Saniya had given her all. After the ceremony, she checked out at the office because she was sick. Her dad took her home.

Happy to Sad, Affable to Dickish: The Definitive Bill Murray Role Matrix
Happy to sad, dickish to affable.
In Hyde Park on Hudson, which opens today, Bill Murray plays FDR. (Bilge Ebiri reviews the film here.) It's hard to reconcile the young punk on SNL with the actor entrusted to play one of our most beloved presidents. However, such is the trajectory of Murray's career, which ranges from antiauthoritarian smirkers to depressed middle-agers to the leader of the free world. So many types of roles over this fantastic career, so there's only one way to make sense of them all: Plot them on a matrix.
In looking at his filmography, from broad to subtle comedy to animation to drama, we decided all of his characters can be measured on two axes: from Happy to Sad, and from Dickish to Affable. (Click on the photo above to enlarge the full matrix.) It's this latter axis that can be complicated with Murray. He is, by definition, loveable: Just see how people react with sheer delight when encountering him in the real world. But in many of his early, eighties comedies, even though he plays the protagonist and ultimately does something heroic, he can be a real dick along the way. Scrooged? That guy was awful for most of the time. Sure, he redeems himself at the end, but there's a lot of prickishness along the way. And what of John Winger in Stripes? Sure, he's hilarious, but did he really need to be such a jerk to Sergeant Hulka? It'd be one thing if Hulka was a bullying boss at a department store, but this is the army! It's his job to yell! Winger: iconic character, definitely on the dick side of the spectrum, especially when compared to the guilelessly friendly (if pesty) heroes of The Man Who Knew Too Little and What About Bob?, both so sweet and friendly that Murray probably needed dental work after playing him (which would've made his Little Shop of Horrors character PSYCHED). So, peruse our matrix and see where we plotted these parts and the rainbow of Murrays in between. Feel free to argue for your own plotting in the comments below.

text: Hi, I am a Mommy to a 8mo old bf baby girl Recently we visited her Dr and we were discussing her lack of eating solids. Over the last month, she has refused eating food other than a bite hear or there. I started solids at 6mos with her, and she has NEVER even eaten a full jar of baby food at one sitting. Te Dr suggested that I quit mashing up her food because mabye it was the mushy texture she didnt like. We have since stopped using babyfood at lunch and dinner (she likes purees in her cereal in the morning) and give her pieces of whatever we are eating. it has worked the last two days, but, the Dr also recommended I back off of my nursings s that baby would be hungry for meals. I always tought it was ok to nurse on demand, and it was my understanding that babies could exclusively breastfeed for the first year. She is worried about her nutritional needs not being met by breastmilk alone at this point. Her iron has ben tested at our last WIC appt and she is fine, so I am confused...input please. I'm afraid weaning is going to be very difficult for the both of us when that time comes
