Darlene Cates From "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" Has Died
Darlene Cates, who made her professional acting debut as Momma Grape in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, died on Sunday morning. Darlene's sister, Sheri Cates Morgan, wrote in a Facebook post that she died unexpectedly in her sleep. She was 69.
Peter Hedges, who wrote the book and screenplay for Gilbert Grape, discovered Darlene while watching a 1992 episode of The Sally Jesse Raphael Show called "Too Heavy To Leave The House." Before traveling to NYC to do the Sally show, Darlene only left her house to see her doctor and she was bedridden for almost two years because of a pelvic infection. Peter saw the episode and contacted Darlene. She was eventually offered the role of Bonnie "Momma" Grape. She took the offer and became one of the best parts of Gilbert Grape.
Gilbert Grape came out toward the end of 1993. It was the movie that gave Leonardo DiCaprio his first taste of his soulmate OSCUH! Leonardo was the only one from Gilbert Grape who got an Oscar nomination. After Gilbert Grape, Darlene continued to act here and there. She did episodes of Picket Fences and Touched By An Angel, as well as a 2001 movie called Wolf Girl, which I really need to see since Thee Tim Curry, Thee Grace Jones and Thee Lesley Ann Warren are in it.
Darlene talked to The Dallas Morning News in 2012 about how she lost 240 pounds and was hoping to get back into the acting game. She also talked about the notes she got from fans and the note she got from one of her acting sons Leonardo DiCaprio. Joanna Kerns wasn't technically Leonardo's mom in Growing Pains, so I'm not taking this as Joanna Kerns shade.
"I'll always remember you as the best acting momma I've ever had. You triumphed in your role," DiCaprio wrote in a note to Cates.
It was a triumph, too, for her fans, many of whom wrote to Cates, thanking her for her bravery.
I realized "how God had used me to touch other people and give them courage by what I did," Cates said. "And that gave them courage to put themselves out there more."
According to Darlene's IMDB page, she did get back into the acting game. She did a short film called Mother in 2014 and a movie called Billboard, which comes out this year.
Rest in peace, Darlene Cates.

Here's the latest episode of our technology podcast, The Spec Sheet. Sorry it took almost three days to post it. Hope you enjoy.

Here is the podcast feed.
On CoastBab/GNS thread I saw you mention your site and a webcast. I like to collect them so I visited, right clicked on the download button, see the name of an mp3 (spec_sheet_20130822)… but after 4 times, get nothing but at the most 2.09 mg — when it stops. Quite odd. Some day I'll get to hear what you're saying 🙂 Oh, I'm using Win7 and have a pretty fast connection. Maybe the confusion is that the computer doesn't know the length of the file so gives up after a bit.

The legacy continued in the 1920's and 30's with their grandfather Percy a multi-instrumentalist and square dance caller. By the late 40's their father was playing box suppers and square dances.

Construction and the Importance of Locating Pipes
When hiring someone for excavation work, it is important to ensure that all the pipes are located before beginning construction. Locating pipes will ensure that the project can be completed smoothly and efficiently while saving you time and money. There are many reasons to locate pipes before beginning construction in order to protect your home and the environment.
Types of Pipes to Locate
There are multiple types of pipes that can cause a delay in your project if they are not properly located. These include water, gas and sewer pipes. A broken water pipe can cause damage to your home or the surrounding area. A gas line that breaks may harm the environment and create a costly cleanup. Sewer pipe lines can also cause an expensive mess. It is better to locate pipes prior to excavation then to deal with the results of ignoring them and damaging them. This will waste your time and the contractor's time.
Eliminate Potential Damage
By not knowing where pipes are located before beginning construction, damage can be caused to your home or the surrounding area. A broken pipe will end up resulting in costly repairs and will slow down your project while it is getting fixed. However, there are many ways a professional excavation company can locate pipes prior to digging such as underground 3D imaging or ground penetrating radar. Locating these underground utilities will help your project run smoothly.
When considering excavation work for your property, find a professional who will properly do the job and take care of your home. Do not let a fun project such as a new pool or leveling out your yard get ruined by a costly and messy clean up. Hire the company that cares for you and your property. A true expert will leave the area better than the one they encountered. Get your construction project completed the right way and call up a professional today.

One of my usual/perennial rants is that many managers would tell you something like "business needs this functionality, we will optimize later". And we all know what happens "later" – nothing. The most important thing I love about working at Braviant is that the tech team shares the same values, since I know quite well how often this is not the case, I appreciate it immensely. However, business might still think differently, and what's good for business… well, that's what we should do, since we all need to make money.
… After one of our recent releases our DBA noticed that one of the application functions slowed down significantly, specifically instead of executing for about 3 sec, it started to execute for 7-8 seconds. And immediately we all were alarmed. You might wonder – why? The 7 sec execution time is a good time, perfectly acceptable for the end users, especially because this function is executed not so often. Well… Didn't I just say our tech team agree on priorities? We ll, we believe that the good user experience includes fast response time, and thereby our applications time out on 10 sec. And if a function's average execution time is over 7 sec, the peak time can easily reach 10 sec!
I had to make a miracle… the sooner the better. Because, as you can imagine, I usually do not write bad queries. Well, most of the time:). Which meant I had to find some unusual optimization.
To tell the truth, I knew right away, why this function starter to perform slower. We added one new field to the distributed query (which was required by business stakeholders, or cause!), and to select this additional field I needed to join one more remote table. And all of a sudden, although all required indexes were on place, the optimizer would choose the full table scan. Of a huge table!
Not much I can do to explain the optimizer that they are wrong (are optimizers male or female, what do you think? 🙂 – they are male in my mother tongue, which explains a lot – they are always sure they know better how to make things work!). So I had to find a way to put this optimizer in such a situation, that there won't be any way other than to utilize the indexes which were out there. First I thought it will be relatively easy – in all previous cases when a similar issue would occur, I would create a view on the remote node – but this time it didn't work. I've conducted several experiments, and came to the conclusion that the only way to make it work is to implement one new technology, which I've played with a couple of months ago, but never implemented in production.
– testing
– making sure it does what I want
– mapping through the foreign data wrapper and making sure it wors
– creating a new version of the function
– testing in lower environments
– implementing on staging and QA on both our products
– in production on both products
Total execution time of the process described above: around 3 hours.
Result: everybody happy, we've got one more groundbreaking technology, which I can guarantee nobody in the world is using (because documentation clearly says it's impossible:)), and which we will be able to use in many other cases to reduce execution time. And all because we have our priorities right!
P.S. Are you anxious to find out what is this technology? Come to 2Q PgConf in Chicago this December!

What critics like Douglas Ainslie call my "commercialization" of Hindu philosophy is really my democratization of it. For I have attempted to bring it down out of the rarefied atmosphere of academic circles into the common air of plain men and women, where alone it can help them. I have tried to make easily understandable what the academics and mystics have made ponderously incomprehensible. Moreover, it may be said that those who know well what they are talking about may have the temerity to simplify it, whereas those who do not know find it safer to mystify it! The first can really help truth-seekers, whereas the second can only hamper them. The reward of my efforts has been a larger circulation of my books than that achieved by writers like Ainslie himself--hence their envy and malice. I seek to serve the masses, not the classes, the many and not the few. I seek to make philosophy's message plain to the untutored mind of common people. At the same time, it will automatically be made plainer to the cultured intelligence of better educated people. If therefore my books are popular and those of the academics are not, that is not to be charged to my commercialistic spirit but to my democratic sympathy. Douglas Ainslie's article is not a genuine book review but a sorry exhibition of personal animus. The self-conceit from which Douglas Ainslee seems to think I suffer is simply the attempt to give a human feeling and personal value to ideas which have too often been ignored and neglected by non-mystical people because they seemed too inhuman and so impersonal. The deep conviction of my own importance, which he comments so sarcastically is his mistaken reading of the deep importance which I attach to the ideas which I have sought to describe intensely and put forward for the benefit of the few real seekers after truth among mystical people. If, in all these ways, I have succeeded in giving actuality to such ideas, if I have brought them to some life, then the results have adequately justified the means.

We junked the twins' old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle travel bags last used in the last century, the pair of hand-me-down Miami Dolphin bleacher-seat cushions that we never did use and some extra, rolled-up, faded linoleum that we long ago forgot about ever using.
We junked the twins' old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle travel bags last used in the last century, the pair of hand-me-down Miami Dolphin bleacher-seat cushions that we never did use and some extra, rolled-up, faded linoleum that we long ago forgot about ever using.
We tossed old golf bags, sneakers, boots, planters, a garbage pail with a hole, a rake without teeth, a light-up Christmas wreath missing most of its lights and a bookcase without any shelves.
We got rid of "It's Graduation Day!" plastic cups, a few plastic trucks, a plastic lawn ornament and plastic doggie bowls.
And we finally took out of the basement a 4-foot-long, 3-foot-high mirror that we pulled out of my mom's apartment five years ago. It got cracked when we cleaned out her place but I couldn't bear to throw it out. So it stayed in the basement. With the bags and the cushions and the linoleum.
Everything got dumped — in the dump last week — as our town held spring cleanup. Load after load we cleared away; useless pieces of junk that at one time had some meaning in our lives.
OK, not the plastic doggie bowls. And there wasn't much sentiment for the faded linoleum.
But I grew up seeing my mom's mirror every day above the dresser in her bedroom. Which might be why I decided to hold on to it — even after pieces of the mirror frame had cracked. The plan was to get it fixed. That was the plan.
Five years later, the mirror sat in the same spot where we had placed it. And in the same condition. I decided it was time that sentiment gave way to reality.
"Why did we keep this?" asked Dustin as we carefully placed the cracked mirror into the back of the pickup truck.
"I was going to fix it."
"So why are we throwing it out now?"
"Because I'll never fix it."
I was able to live with the logic that it made sense to toss a broken mirror that we had kept around for five years.
What made no sense was to throw away perfectly good cribs that for the past 20-plus years had found a second home in the bowels of our basement. Their first home had been the twins' bedroom. When the boys grew out of their cribs, Bonnie insisted we hold onto them.
"For the grandchildren."
"Whose grandchildren?"
She gave me the look.
"You'll want to buy new."
"It'll mean more to us that we use these. You'll see."
So instead of the dump they went into basement storage.
But it turns out what was supposedly good for our kids can kill our grandkids.
A few years back, the Consumer Product Safety Commission considered the cribs we all used to be unsafe because the sides went down, the bolts and screws weren't secure and the slats were too weak. Picky.
Since we can't use the boys' old cribs, we might as well finally junk them. They went on the truck. With my Mom's broken mirror.
We had to make three trips to get rid of all of the stuff. And we still have more old stuff that needs to be trashed.
It's not that we're hoarders. At least I don't think so.
It's just hard to throw away memories. Even junky ones.

Screened chemicals list
How we screen chemicals for possible reassessment, and the 700 chemicals currently screened.
COVID-19 response: We are continuing to perform our usual functions, with some staff working from home. Find out more: COVID-19 Update – Wednesday 12 August
How we screen chemicals for possible reassessment, and the 700 chemicals currently screened.
We gathered information about chemicals from New Zealand, and from our counterpart agencies in Europe, Norway, Canada, Australia and the United States.
We developed a screening tool to evaluate the chemicals' potential risk to human health and to the environment. This tool was peer reviewed by two international regulatory bodies – the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) in Australia and Environment Canada.
Read the FRCaST peer review summary (pdf 235KB)
Using the Flexible Reassessment Categorisation Screening Tool (FRCaST), we have screened more than 700 chemicals, and from that list we identified the hazardous substances which make up our priority chemicals list.
Both the priority chemicals list and the list of more than 700 screened chemicals are 'living' lists and are adjusted from time to time as new information becomes known.
Below is an example of the FRCaST tool, notes, and a guide to its use.

Apparently not in the Cascades
The most recent eruptions of Mount Hood – the tallest peak in Oregon – took place about 220 years ago and 1,500 years ago, according to Professor Adam Kent of Oregon State University and Associate Professor Kari Cooper of University of California-Davis.
When I saw that article in the Bend (Oregon) Bulletin, I thought – bingo! – that eruption hit smack dab in the middle of the Dalton Minimum, a time of extremely low sunspot activity.
And when the accompanying chart showed that fully half of all volcanoes in the Cascade Range had erupted around the same time, well, it looked obvious that volcanic activity correlates with low sunspot activity.
But then I looked at the rest of the chart.
What about the Maunder Minimum?
According to Kent and Cooper's chart, only two – maybe three – volcanoes erupted in the Cascade Range during the Maunder Minimum.
If low sunspot activity coincides with volcanic activity, shouldn't even more volcanic activity have occurred during the Maunder Minimum than during the Dalton Minimum?
Worldwide, there were at least 90 major volcanic eruptions in 1660 alone, according climatologist Cliff Harris and meteorologist Randy Mann.
When you get to this link, click on the graph again to make it even bigger: http://www.vukcevic.co.uk/GrandMinima.gif
So why not in the Cascades? Did those other eruptions somehow relieve the pressure in the Cascades?
At this point, I do not have the answer. Perhaps one of my readers…..?

I'm not good with words, but I wanted to share her life with you all, so here is her memorial video I made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmm_HPg ... e=youtu.be
Two days ago an animal dug down into her grave and pulled her out, so all the feelings of (probably misplaced) self blame have been renewed. If I let myself think about it for longer than a few seconds... it's not good.
I'll be moving over to geckoforums . net, as looking at all your beautiful babies reminds me of her and it still hurts.
(Her name is spelled "Francis" in my signature because I thought she was a boy at that time)

WASHINGTON A new White House plan to help struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure will not provide any assistance to Ohio even though the state has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country.
In a town-hall meeting today in Nevada, President Barack Obama outlined a $1.5 billion plan designed to help unemployed homeowners in five states where housing prices have suffered declines of 20 percent or more from their peaks.
Those states are California, Nevada, Florida, Arizona and Michigan.
But because the average price of a home in Ohio has not fallen 20 percent from the peak, Ohio will not qualify for any of the money. On Wednesday, the Ohio Supreme Court announced that the Buckeye State set a record last year for residential foreclosures with 89,053.
Bill Faith, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio, assailed the White House move as "outrageous,'' adding that "Ohio is struggling and these guys just blew us off. It's unbelievable to me.''
Faith acknowledged that home prices in the five targeted states have dropped more steeply than those in Ohio, which he said "certainly makes foreclosure problems worse.
"Our prices were more stable because we didn't have the big housing bubble that you see in places in California. Our problem has been more the sub-prime lending fiasco, our economy and unemployment.''
But Faith asked, "What difference does it make? If you are in a crisis and dole our federal help, why should we be excluded? Maybe they deserve more of the money. But for us to be entirely excluded is grossly unfair.''
Faith said his organization was contacting statewide officials, including Gov. Ted Strickland, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown and Republican Sen. George V. Voinovich. Faith said Ohio public officials need to "stand up and push back. Maybe they can reconsider this.''
Obama's plan would divert $1.5 billion from the $700 billion financial rescue package that Congress approved in 2008 during the final months of the presidency of George W. Bush.
Obama made the announcement in Nevada where he is trying to provide a boost to the re-election campaign of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Polls show that Reid is trailing his potential Republican rival.

Multinational, Interagency Active Shooter Exercise Builds Partnerships in Michigan
By Airman 1st Class Tiffany Clark, 110th Attack Wing
/ Published March 16, 2018
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. --
The room is silent as an Airmen, dressed in padding – a simulated active shooter – lurks back and forth, waiting.
Suddenly, at the end of the room the door bursts open. Two Latvian soldiers burst in and begin firing at the "active shooter," taking him down and clearing the next room for safety. A few seconds later, members of the Calhoun County Sherriff's Department enter to act as back up, helping to finish the job.
This was a scene resulting from an active shooter tactics familiarization event between the Michigan Air National Guard, military personnel from the Republic of Latvia, and a local Michigan police force on March 16, 2018, facilitated by the 110th Security Forces Squadron, Battle Creek Air National Guard Base, Mich.
"Today, we participated in a joint tactical knowledge exchange with local law enforcement," said Master Sgt. Joshua Rance, 110th Security Forces Squadron superintendent. "Participants familiarized themselves with cross-cultural weapons and tactics experience with international partners and had a chance to learn constantly-evolving active shooter lessons gained from recent events."
The teams were combined in a truly joint force. Latvian soldiers were paired with police officers and airmen to cultivate a two-way street of learning methods for clearing the building and the most effective way of taking down an active shooter.
"The difference for this event was getting to share tactics with our Latvian partners and hear their cross-cultural techniques," said Rance. "We also have a new partnership with Calhoun County emergency services team members and got to discover new technology."
Latvian soldiers agreed that the communication and knowledge that they gained from this event will assist them in the future, not just with the scenario but also in leadership and giving directions to future personnel.
This familiarization is the beginning of many due to an increasing collaboration between Michigan Air National Guard and Latvian security forces personnel under the Michigan National Guard's State Partnership Program with Latvia.

Labor Cabinet Deputy Secretary Mike Nemes visited Multi Packaging Solutions in Louisville today to present a Governor's Safety and Health Award for the 278,279 production hours worked without a lost-time incident by employees.
"Congratulations to Multi Packaging Solutions on earning another Governor's Safety and Health Award," said Labor Secretary Derrick Ramsey. "Working over 200,000 hours without a lost-time injury is a great accomplishment and I commend them for their dedication toward maintaining a safe environment for its workers. On behalf of Governor Bevin and the Labor Cabinet, it is my honor to recognize this achievement for the hard-working men and women at Multi Packaging Solutions."
Multi Packaging Solutions (MPS) is a leading global provider of value-added print and packaging solutions to a diverse customer base across the healthcare, branded consumer, and multi-media end markets. MPS provides customers with an extensive array of print-based specialty packaging, including premium folding cartons, labels, inserts/leaflets, rigid packaging, tubes, and specialty packaging across a variety of substrates and finishes. Founded in 2005 and now employs approximately 9,000 people in North America, Asia and Europe. Approximately 181 employees work in Louisville.
"This is a great honor for our facility, and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the men and women working here," John Gadd, Environmental, Health & Safety Supervisor. "Our team members do a great job and do it safely."
The Kentucky Labor Cabinet presents the Governor's Safety and Health Award to highlight outstanding safety and health performance in Kentucky's workplaces. A business may qualify for the award if its employees achieve a required number of hours worked without experiencing a lost time injury or illness. The required number of hours is dependent upon the number of employees.
According to a recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Kentucky employers reported the lowest incident rate for nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in the state's history.
Based on a mathematical calculation that describes the number of recordable incidents per 100 full-time employees, Kentucky's rate improved from 3.8 in 2014 to 3.7 in 2015 – reflecting the most recent data available. This rate has steadily declined since it was first calculated in 1996, when a rate of 8.4 was reported.

A weekly look at the world of business and personal finance with Richard Curran
It was reported this week that Ireland has the fifth highest number of billionaires globally per-capita - 17 in total. Mark Lyons' family featured in that story. He has taken over Alltech, a company founded by his father Pearse Lyons in 1980 with €10,000. Now it employs 5,000 / 6000 people across 120 countries.
It was announced that the composer and conductor Eimear Noone from Galway, is to be the first ever woman to take charge of the orchestra at the Academy Awards. But what about the music score industry is it a lucrative one? We ask Sarah Glennane, CEO of the Screen Composers Guild and composer Jonathan Casey of Envision Sound
This week saw the world's leading economists come together for the summit at Davos to discuss issues such as Brexit. Vicky Pryce is no stranger to that world - she's worked in senior posts in private finance and UK government sectors. She has written a book called 'Women vs Capitalism: Why We Can't Have It All in a Free Market Economy'.
While the housing crisis makes headlines in the general election campaign, the discussion about what development we want to see in our cities continues. Candidates are being quizzed about the future of our urban areas. Liam Geraghty has been meeting people around the country to hear their concerns about the future of our high streets
Campaigning for Election 2020 is well and truly underway, with the first head-to-head leaders debate taking place during the week. The Taoiseach's pause over the drug taking question got people going. To learn more about the ways of public speaking, we ask public-speaking supremo Rowan Manahan

Good online dating site usernames
25-Apr-2019 18:38
And while those micro-decisions seem unimportant, they add up and do matter, because you're only as good as the profile you craft.So how do you create the kind of online identity that will land you a first date?When picking a username, opt for incorporating more desirable traits rather than ones with negative connotations, the researchers wrote.
Pick group photos in which you're in the center of the shot, the study notes, because it "creates a sense of importance." "This can be further enhanced in group photos where you are shown touching another person (confining this to the upper arm to be socially acceptable)," the authors write.You'll even be spoon-fed 26 examples of good usernames for dating sites like Ok Cupid, POF and Millionaire Match just for reading until the end.Ready for your online dating profile to attract more women?DO: BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT YOUR USERNAME People gloss over this one too often, and maybe it's because we're in a time when people tend to use their real names, or variations thereof, in many of their online interactions. Remember back to when picking your AIM username was a serious task?
It was your identity, your marker, and you'd better be happy with picking "DMX123" because you could be stuck with it for years.
The authors write that a first date is more likely with a realistic profile.

Estimation of surgical blood loss and transfusion requirements in orthopaedic soft tissue tumor surgery: associated factors
- Download PDF  | View PDF  | Print Article | Export Citation
Over half of soft tissue tumor surgeries require intraoperative Packed Red Cell (PRC) transfusion. Transfusion should be sufficient, as inadequacy will increase risk of tissue ischemia, morbidity and mortality. On the other hand, liberal transfusion is related to infection, tumor recurrence, and immunosuppression. Therefore, good PRC planning measures in preoperative period are essential. Several factors that can be identified in the preoperative period, have been associated with surgical bleeding and transfusion in soft tissue tumor surgery. These factors are ASA score, preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) value, malignancy, size, and location of tumor. By acknowledging influencing factors, a system for predicting blood requirement can be established to promote patient safety and avoid waste. This study aimed to determine factors associated with surgical blood loss and intraoperative PRC transfusion.A retrospective cohort was analyzed on 84 records of orthopaedic soft tissue tumor surgery during 2014-2018. In all subjects, the aforementioned factors, amount of intraoperative bleeding and intraoperative PRC transfusion was recorded. Data was analyzed by linear regression to see the relationship of factors to the amount of bleeding and by logistic regression to assess the probability of receiving intraoperative PRC transfusions. A multivariate analysis identified tumor size as an independent determining factor of bleeding. In further analysis, it was found that tumor size and preoperative Hb value were predictors of the probability of requiring intraoperative PRC transfusion.

Guam Diner Bytes: PROA Restaurant - Hagatna
Guam Diner Bytes: PROA Restaurant - Hagatna
Dear "Guam Food Guy" reader, Just for some fun, let's take a short trip down memory lane, and see if you can recall any of the following restaurants that used to grace our island:
Jim's Island House, Surgose's Italian Kitchen, Istimewa, Kimchi Cabana, Latte Restaurant, M's Steak House, Crow's Nest, the Captain's Table, Azuma Restaurant, China House, Malesso Inn,Yakitori House, The Panciteria, Salzburg Chalet, Joe & Flo's Mexican Restaurant, Rocco's Italian Restaurant, Tina Marie's, The Tapa Room, Galleon Grill, Kurumaya Restaurant, Ivory Gourmet Cuisine and J&K Hong Kong Restaurant,
Then there's: Latino's Italian Restaurant, Signature Lounge, American Cafe, Andok's Fast Food, Cool Spot, Mongolian BBQ, Pim's Place, I Natibu, Epicure, Furusato, Papa John's, Greek Freak, The Brig, Ocean Bay Chinese, Sobroso's, Shanghai, Melanzanne, Yakitori Grill, The Pill Box, College Cafe, Joyful Chinese, La Mesa's, Chianti, Flamboyan,Planet Noodle & Cafe, Downtown Deli, Bolsa, Wing's, Josephine's Chamorro Kitchen, Wet Willie's, Genji,
Tom's Table and Gu's Shanghai Bistro.
And we also had: Isabel's Cafe Nouveau, Mini Cafe, Coral Palace, Creations, Shiranami, Lotus Garden, Mimi Ramen, Hale Kai Seafood, Planet Hollywood, Korean BBQ, Le Creole, Claret, Pacific Grill, Y Kusina, Shakey's, Bully's, Firefly, Kiyo Sato and Amantes. Do you remember their locations?
This clearly shows you how more than 60 restaurants have come and gone (there are many more) over the years, with some leaving this past year.
My career in food service on Guam has given me a unique perspective on and a direct involvement with most of these restaurants.
Many are like long lost friends and old acquaintances. We don't have rosaries or graveyards for restaurants – just for restaurant people. Now there's some food for thought!
PROA's Hagatna location is a super-sized version of PROA's legendary Tumon location. The Restaurant is an amazing remake of the original T.G.I.Friday's building, which really has no recognizable reminders. It's all dazzlingly new and aesthetically appealing with local arts and themes. It is spacious beyond intimate, with plenty of room for large groups and parties. There's no rubbing elbows like in the original PROA. PROA Hagatna had some start-up challenges that took some time to correct. They have been inundated with customers and have had to work their way through service delivery issues. The food, once you finally got it, was delicious and people raved about the fantastic flavors and original creations. PROA's owners and management team have been on the ground listening and responding to the myriad issues. This is what makes PROA different and stronger than most restaurants - the owners care very much about their customers feelings and reactions. They do every thing they can to make things right.
Aware of the concerns raised by disappointed customers, I knew it would only be a matter of time for this large and powerful organization to settle into a working excellence mode. PROA had to develop new recruits and personnel to a level of proficiency achieved by their corps of hearty veterans trained in the Tumon trenches. This can't be done overnight! How easily people forget some of the complaints from the first opening, but they still came back for more of the magic grub PROA's kitchen wizards kept kickin' out! Just to get a whiff of those Marianas Glazed BBQ Ribs would be enough to make one salivate and crave for satisfaction!
For this newsletter, I wanted to showcase some of the new menu items PROA's unveiled. Some of these photos were taken during an MCA Board Meeting and I can't say that I've eaten all of them. I did have a bite of many, though.
The Achote Fried Shrimp on a Stick with a Chorizo Sweet Potato Empanada and Calamansi Culantro Avocado Sauce ($10.95) is an excellent starter trio, which is a trend PROA adopted earlier. Give the people more by giving them less. That's the best way to eat a variety of items! The empanada will have you screaming for more!
Another appetizer I had during a separate visit were the Proa Style Hibachi Chicken Tacos with Peppery Papaya Salsa and Pupulu Drizzle ($8.95). These are actually very tasty and are shareable. The little crispy won ton wrappers are no match for the overflowing papaya salsa'd chicken, with red rice over and under. I like the playful creativity Chef Geoffrey and his team have put into their menu creations. Names and titles have alliteration and food is a mouthful of delightful words. Entice and delight - a culinary strategy that starts with a menu description creating an expectation that's met and or surpassed by the experience!
The "Short Rib Duo" Tender Braised Bone-In Short Rib and BBQ Boneless Short Rib Caramelized Garlic Mash Potato with Sauteed Vegetables is more than a mouthful to say and eat! This is about meat and getting plenty of it! It's a creative dish, for sure, but it all comes back down to MEAT! When you taste these distinctly different dishes, you may want to order one or the other. I know I really liked that Bone-in Short Rib!!
The "Pork Two Ways" has both Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin and a Crispy Pork Belly with a Red Rice Risotto Cake and a Sauteed Cabernet mongo bean pan sauce - ($21.95). I will have to try this dish as I just have the photo. Looked good, though!
The same goes for this Char-Broiled Red Dirt Marinated Carne with Sauteed Tropical Spinach and Fried Fontina on warm crusty bread ($15.95), which I will have to also try out one day! There's a load of spinach in this! I have to avoid this volume of carbs for a while, but can probably order it on a salad!
I did have the Crispy Cornish Game Hen with Rosemary Baked Red Potatoes, Sauteed Green Beans, Roasted Garlic and a Thyme Brushed White wine Mustard Jus ($18.95). This could be a comfort dish. They've done well by taking the noble game hen back to a time in its past when it was thus celebrated by great chefs! Savory flavors from spices and seasonings do wonders when you add lemon, olive oil, garlic and sauces to a roasted fowl.
One special dish prepared by the PROA team to accommodate Zee's vegetarian preference was a Ratatouille with Fettuccine. It's not on the menu, is loaded with veggies like eggplant, onions, zucchini, and peppers, with a marinara sauce.
I had a lunch special the day of our visit. It was a masterful Pan-Seared Smoked Norwegian King Salmon served on a bed of Lobster Saffron Rizzoto! I don't remember the price (maybe $21.95), but I do remember how perfectly cooked that salmon was, with a butter cream sauce. One of the things I urge people to do is try the PROA Lunch specials. They've been consistently awesome for me!
If you have room, save a little room for dessert. Try the Warm Molten Chocolate Cake or Coconut Banana Fritters---you can't go wrong with either (just a small bite!).
The new Hagatna PROA has an expanded Patisserie with large state of the art refrigerated display cases where you can purchase a variety of confectionary treats. There is also a full-service bar where games can be watched on large screen TVs. There's no question about PROA's future prospects. They have a winning attitude and have translated that into a winning business model. We'll be doing PROA for a very long time indeed!
Bon appetit!

Arsenal have been linked with a summer move for Leicester city's Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
The Gunners have reportedly been in contact with Ndidi's representatives over a transfer, though they are likely to face competition from the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United.
A source close to Ndidi told the sun that the big clubs want to sign him this summer
According to the source, Arsene Wenger is a manager he admires a lot and his friend Alex Iwobi has told him lots of great things about the club.
The 21-year-old Ndidi has started all 31 of Leicester's Premier League matches in the 2017/18 season.

Ever tried asking a teenager how their day at school was?
If so, chances are the reply was less than enthusiastic. A mumbled "fine" is a common refrain.
While going to school can seem like a chore for some, Calgary's faith-based schools are striving to provide a different kind of experience to their students.
Beyond the standard knowledge and socialization gained from typical elementary and high school experiences, schools with a focus on faith aim to build a sense of community and belonging for their students. They want students to understand where they come from and where they fit into this world, says Reva Faber, interim principal at The Calgary Jewish Academy.
"Our curriculum fosters an understanding in the students and builds connections between our community's — past, present and future," she says.
"Our faith-based educational system develops well-rounded, strong individuals who know where they have come from and then gives them direction for where they are going."
At the Jewish academy, which offers programming from preschool through Grade 9, Judaism is a cornerstone in most subject areas of the regular Alberta curriculum. In addition, students study Hebrew and plan and organize events and celebrations around the Jewish holidays.
"Parents who enrol their children with us usually want them to learn about our heritage, customs, beliefs, values and ethics; it's what we call 'Jewish literacy,' " Faber says.
Interestingly, not all of the students who attend the academy practise Judaism outside of school.
"We have several families in our school who are not of the Jewish faith, yet they send their children to the Calgary Jewish Academy because of the excellence in education that we offer for our student body."
The parents of students enrolled at Calgary's Heritage Christian Academy are looking for an educational experience that is an extension of the values their children learn at home, says executive director Sharon Fuchs.
"They are looking for an education that aligns with the Christian upbringing they are providing for their children at home and through their local churches," she explains.
"They desire a curriculum that approaches all subjects through the lens of a Christian world view, and they are looking for a community that provides a safe, supportive and encouraging environment for learning and peer relationships."
Offering kindergarten through Grade 12, Heritage also integrates faith into all aspects of its students' educations. On top of the standard Alberta curriculum, students at Heritage Christian also participate in Christian Discipleship courses (more widely known as religious studies) that include memory verses, Bible study, apologetics (the defence of a position, often religious) and world religions.
Students also research the traditions and practices of other religions, especially in the higher grades when the concept of critical thinking is a main focus. Respect for all world religions is of the utmost importance, says Fuchs.
All this is not to say students of a faith-based institution don't come home and tell their parents their day was "fine."
Teenagers are still teenagers, after all. But there is something to be said for the added element of community and belonging these schools are trying to develop.
"A child's education is more than book knowledge," says Fuchs. "It is wrapped up in relationships with peers and authority figures, in making wise decisions and understanding ethical and moral implications, in discovering self worth and abilities, in taking risks with the security of knowing that your community will catch you and get you back on your feet when you fail.
"Helping students discover who they are as individuals, and how they fit into who we are as a community of faith, provides a level of belonging that may not necessarily be present in a learning environment that is focused primarily on assessing value through talent, grades or competition to be the best rather than their best."

After researching facts about their city (specifically choosing facts that would make others "jealous" that they are missing out on), students wrote a postcard home to their families as if they were touring through their city.
We used Google Presentations to create our postcards.
We used Facts4Me.com to research our cities. Enjoy some examples below! Mrs. Mazurek's second grade projects will be on display in A hallway during the month of March.

Hi All
The new Freedom board was unveiled at FTF Americas today I believe.
A port of the uTasker project has been made to it including board simulation as show below below - anyone who would like to play with a virtual FRDM-K64F can do so with the executable at http://www.utasker.com/Demos/exes/Kinetis/FRDM-K64F.zip
Just unzip the file and execute "uTasker_FRDM-K64F.exe" - this needs no installatiom but does need Winpcap to be installed on the PC (if you have Wireshark installed it is already there). The simulated device can be contacted on the IP address 192.168.0.3 (web server, FTP, TELNET) and connects its UART0 to COM9 (using a virtual loop back to an emulator allows a command line menu to be played with - also the web server allows various things to be controlled). USB enumeration is simulated in the USB menu.
Hover your mouse over FRDM-K64F connectors to see the processor pins that they are connected to, their location on the processor, their present state and the peripheral functions that they support.
The 3 colour LED is also simulated - in the I/O command line menu (Telnet or UART) the ports can be controlled to turn on and off different colours to test the colour mixing.
Hope you have fun with it!!
