New Project Finally Finished

Finally we are fairly organized in our new workplace!

It is so great, all that space, that light! It was a lot of work and we are more or less broke, but it is worth it!

May I get your attention for this amazing contraption design by our technical director, miss Estella, to solve the problem of the storage of our ginourmous chain stock:

This was no easy task in a room with practically no walls. The basis is from the scrap shop, only the wheels and rods are new. It has four pulls and rolls smoothly despite the enormous weight.

It seems an absurd amount of chain, but believe me, it is never enough.

This is the 'shipping department'

And Estella's painting corner:

The supplies, also never enough...

Work in progress...finally we can have many projects going at the same time.

Once more. So was it:

And so it is now:

The (happy) end.

Little Sister: Green

Wednesday was Earth Day and that made me think of an opportunity for a subject for a Little Sister post. We have been recently contacted by the Victoria and Albert Museum for using our pictures of our 'Give me my Medicine' necklace seen on our Flickr account, after a while we have been choosen from the hundreds of pictures of jewelry made with recycled material, to be one of the most creative contributions, as selected by artist jeweller Professor Dorothy Hogg. Hopefully these pieces will also be published in a book (keep your fingers crossed!).
Now I hope that you, who are reading this post are green and do your best to make our world a better place. So I would love to see what you do, not only on Earth Day but every day! Show me your bicycle that you rather use then your car, show me your way of packing your items with recycled material etc. Hope to get pictures of EVERYONE, as always :)

To get some inspiration, I've made a treasury with recycled items:

Swiedebie shows several examples of recycling, I love the clock she made with reused kids buttons and an old clock mechanism:

ZsBCreations made a gorgeous cuff all with upcycled-recycled materials, recycling can be chic as you can see:

Karuski makes her packages with a used bubble mailer which she has covered with a piece of vintage wall paper and left over paper tag. A great way to re-use the mailers in a pretty & personal way!:

Psarokokalo made a bag of old sheets, ripped them and then knitted to become this pretty bag:

Vaisto loves to recycle: 'rugs, scarves and house-shoes finger crocheted out of recycled clothes cut to strips, fluorescent poi of an old children's windbreaker jacket, a skirt of recycled and leftover bits and pieces, and finally my bike loaded with clothes going to recycle bin...sometimes I feel like we are the recycling center of our family & friends ;)':

I made these little baskets about 10 years ago, found the telephone wires on the street, leftovers of the repair guys of the telephone company. I still use them daily for my bits and blops next to my bed:

Heli shows to of her daily green activities: 'I always try to take a shopping bag with me when I go for groceries shopping. Turkey seems to love plastic bags and you notice that everywhere on the streets, parks, at the sea...

The other thing I do - my husband says that I must be the only one in Turkey- I always fold milk and juice cartons and flatten everything that is flattenable. Did you know that inside one juice or milk package you can insert even 25 empty packages, though it requires a little patience and a huge milk or juice lover :)'

Carmenesque found a great way to storage her beads:
'I love sushi and with my orders I usually get 1 or 2 little plastic bottles filled with soy sauce. I put the soy sauce in a larger bottle, place it in the fridge and I wash the plastic ones and after a day of drying I can use them as my storage of small beads. And they perfectly fit inside my little drawers :)'

JaneBoFelt says: 'I like sweet "zephir" in chocolate - marshmallows. I bought it in small boxes and these boxes suits well to store small buttons, clasps etc. And I reuse bubble wrap from packaging - I do resist for felting from it.

IngerMaaike has three boys, so you can imagine the amount of holes in pants, she made smileys of felt to repair them, instead of throwing them away.

PetitPlat: 1. Diverse stuff for the miniatures themselves. 2. Ferrero Rocher boxes to store all my minis. 3. I use advertising and punch little butterflies that I glue on my little packaging boxes. (yes I do buy boxes, making them is just too time consuming for me) 4. Bubble Plastic Paper that I receive when ordering mini dishes:

ArtMind seperates all the garbage, like glass, paper, plastic etc.:

Alatvian says: I do almost everything I can to help our planet stay green. But I am especially proud of my green garden with natural grass and narrow high beds and my compost heap, where I recycle all organic remains from our household and the garden itself.

LaTouchables makes nifty decorations for her home with found/ repurposed objects, a mirror frame with drifwood, a braided rug and an old IKEA clock with a new picture in it:

XbyLeinaNeima made organic hemp summer totes. They both are appliquéd with hand dyed second-hand laces - hand printed with dried herbs(+ one of them with second hand ribbons + sequins and beads). And the lining of them is made from second-hand material.

Lapomme makes all her packages of recycled items: 'The cloth sachets I make from fabric scraps I get from curtain and pillow manufacturers. The plastic sachets that I use for my paper products, I save from my shopping. I sew them up with my machine, just as I do with the cloth bags. The blue plastic bag I got from marché saint pierre in paris (a fabric shop), the green bag from des filles à la vanille, a clothing store in montpellier.

Revisiting Cycle of the Werewolf by Richard Chizmar

Cycle of the Werewolf was yet another Carol’s Used Bookstore find for me. I had somehow completely missed the spring 1985 release, so when I stumbled upon a used copy of the Signet trade paperback on the crowded shelves at Carol’s it was a total surprise to me – and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be!

cycle of the werewolfI had recently wrapped up my sophomore year in college and was heading to the beach the next day to decompress. I’d just been named to the All-America team for lacrosse and was looking forward to a much-needed week of rest and celebration. I stopped at Carol’s the evening before my departure for some beach reading, and there was Cycle of the Werewolf, crammed high on a dusty shelf, just waiting for me.

Clocking in at a mere 127 pages, Cycle was a slender volume, especially compared to my earlier Stephen King reads. That was my first impression, and I remember feeling mild disappointment because it was so short. But then I opened the glossy, black cover and flipped a couple pages, and that feeling went away pretty darn fast.

There was artwork inside – both color and black-and-white illustrations – and so much of it! In fact, I couldn’t turn more than a page or two without being confronted with yet another magnificent, visual feast. Full-page paintings, two-page spreads, even spot art! I flipped back to the cover and saw that the illustrator was a guy named Bernie Wrightson. I made a mental note to remember his name (not realizing at the time that I already knew his amazing work from many previous comic book excursions).

And then there was the story…boy, what a fun, old-fashioned story. I couldn’t even remember the last werewolf novel I had read, much less one presented in such a unique manner.

Imaginatively told in twelve short chapters – one for each month of the year – King gathers us around a blazing campfire, sits us down, and tells us the story of Tarker’s Mills, a small New England town besieged by mysterious killings. All committed under the glow of a rising full moon. And while the title might give away the kind of monster that is prowling Tarker’s Mills streets, King manages to cleverly keep the killer’s identity a secret until the later fourth of the book. Throw in a brave, young hero in a wheelchair with a bossy older sister (keep in mind, I had three bossy older sisters growing up) and a very cool Uncle Al (I also had one of those; I miss you Uncle Teddy!), and I was hooked.

Suffice to say, my copy of Cycle of the Werewolf never made it to the beach that long ago summer. I devoured it in one sitting the same evening I brought it home. To my delight, there were plenty of scares and buckets of bloodshed to be found, but truthfully I wouldn’t have even cared if there were no werewolf or monster of any kind.

Like so many other Stephen King creations, Cycle of the Werewolf was, for me, a triumph of characterization and atmosphere. As much about the dark secrets and daily goings-on of small town life (Tarker’s Mills, like the town of ‘Salem’s Lot, was home to a lot of interesting folks; some good, some not-so-good) as it was an adventure story about a young boy’s coming of age, Cycle of the Werewolf hit all the right buttons for me.

A creepy and interesting story? Check.

Atmosphere so finely-layered that I could feel the January sleet pelting my face? Hear the April wind whispering high in the trees that border the Tarker’s Mills park? See the orange tint of moonglow on my arms from a fat full moon rising in the October sky? Check, check, and check.

And the people of Tarker’s Mills…where do I even start?

Of course, I adored Marty Coslow and his black-sheep Uncle Al, but once again I found myself just as fascinated by King’s grand cast of minor characters; townsfolk such as Stella Randolph and town librarian (and occasional wife-beater), Milt Sturmfuller; barmaid Elise Fournier and Constable Neary; kite-flying Brady Kincaid and the Reverend Lester Lowe; the Chat ‘n Chew’s owner, Alfie Knopfler and Tarker’s Mills barber, Stan Pelky.

There are dozens of others – how King can paint such a vivid picture of an entire town and its inhabitants in so few words is an enduring mystery to me – and I remember them all.

Cycle of the Werewolf is their story, after all.

Tarker’s Mill is their home.

I was just visiting.

Revisiting Cycle of the Werewolf after all these years, I’m struck by how much has changed in my life since that initial reading – and how much has remained the same.

Back then, I had no idea that Cycle was originally written as a longish story to be featured in a calendar – hence the twelve monthly chapters and the abundance of artwork. Or that the calendar concept eventually mutated into an even cooler idea, a nifty, oversized, illustrated limited edition from The Land of Enchantment Press. It’s still one of the most beautiful editions in my library.

And as for the artist – that Bernie Wrightson fellow – I certainly had not an inkling that I would one day become friends with Bernie or that I would hire him to illustrate my own horror magazine and my very own Stephen King limited edition of From A Buick 8 or for goodness sake, that my writing buddy, John Schaech, and I would share a long and laughter-filled evening with Bernie and mutual friend Frank Darabont at a Beverly Hills restaurant.

I mean, c’mon, folks, I was a dreamer…but I didn’t dream that big!

Reading Cycle of the Werewolf now, I can understand why some critics dismiss it as a minor entry in Stephen King’s legendary canon – it’s certainly a short and simplistic tale – but it will always hold a special place in my heart.

It was one of the first Stephen King books I gave my oldest son, Billy, to read – and he adored it. The film version of Cycle of the Werewolf was both of my sons’ first R-rated movie – watched on a long ago New Year’s Eve, snuggled in front of a roaring fire, with plenty of snacks, and the lights off. The ideal setting to watch an old-fashioned, campfire tale.

And, for me, that’s the charm of Cycle of the Werewolf. It’s not pretentious storytelling; it doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. It’s just a creepy, solidly-told story of small town life in New England…with a werewolf thrown in for fun. It’s told swiftly and with great economy and affection, and I’ve learned a lot from it as a writer. I’m still learning from it.

My sole regret when it comes to Cycle of the Werewolf…I wish I owned some of the original Bernie Wrightson artwork from the book and it was hanging on my office wall.

* * *

There are a number of creepy scenes that follow in Cycle of the Werewolf – the kite-flying scene with Brady Kincaid, the Fourth of July attack on Marty, and the Halloween night reveal of the killer all rush to mind – but, for me, the most frightening occurs right at the opening of the book:

Outside the wind rises to a shrill scream. Westrum raises his head uneasily, and then looks back down at his game again. It is only the wind, after all…

But the wind doesn’t scratch at doors…and whine to be let in.

He gets up, a tall, lanky man in a wool jacket and railroad coveralls, a Camel cigarette jutting from one corner of his mouth, his seamed New England face lit in soft orange tones by the kerosene lantern which hangs on the wall.

The scratching comes again. Someone’s dog, he thinks, lost and wanting to be let in. That’s all it is…but still, he pauses. It would be inhuman to leave it out there in the cold, he thinks – but still he hesitates. A cold finger of fear is probing just below his heart. This has been a bad season in Tarker’s Mills; there have been omens of evil on the land. Arnie has his father’s Welsh blood strong in his veins, and he doesn’t like the feel of things.

Before he can decide what to do about his visitor, the low-pitched whining rises to a snarl. There is a thud as something incredibly heavy hits the door…draws back…hits again. The door trembles in its frame, and a puff of snow billows in from the top.

Arnie Westrum stares around, looking for something to shore it up with, but before he can do more than reach for the flimsy chair he has been sitting in, the snarling thing strikes the door again with incredible force, splintering it from top to bottom.

It holds for a moment longer, bowed in on a vertical line, and lodged in it, kicking and lunging, its snout wrinkled back in a snarl, its yellow eyes blazing, is the biggest wolf Arnie has ever seen…

And its snarls sound terribly like human words.

The door splinters, groans, gives. In a moment the thing will be inside.

Suspenseful and scary as heck – how can you not keep turning the pages?!

Easy pick for me – the scene where Uncle Al saves Marty’s Fourth of July celebration by sneaking him a cellophane package full of fireworks. What little kid doesn’t love fireworks? I know I sure did.

I’m going to cheat on this one, and I’m going to cheat something fierce. Too many favorite lines, and while most of them are fairly simplistic, they do a wonderful job of setting the tone, painting a picture, and creating atmosphere. Here’s a favorite line from each of the twelve chapters, courtesy of your big, fat cheater:

January – But the wind doesn’t scratch at doors…and whine to be let in.

February – Love is like dying.

March – The town keeps its secrets.

April – The wolf is running toward him, running on two legs, its shaggy pelt painted orange with moonfire, its eyes glaring green lamps, and in one paw – a paw with human fingers and claws where the nails should be – is Brady’s Vulture kite.

May – Spring has come back again – and this year, the Beast has come with it.

June – Moonlight is the last thing Alfie sees.

July – And while his parents stewed and wondered about his psyche, and if he would have complexes from the experience, Marty Coslaw came to believe in his heart that it had been the best Fourth of all.

August – So the town holds its breath, waiting.

September – Then the clouds grow thicker, and the moon disappears…yet it is there; the tides twenty miles out of Tarker’s Mills feel its pull and so, closer to home, does the beast.

October – He sleeps the deep, dreamless sleep of the very young, while outside the river of wind blows over Tarker’s Mills, washing out October and bringing in cold, star-shot November, autumn’s iron mouth.

November – And what happens later that night might be a judgment from God, or a jest of those older gods that men worshipped from the safety of stone circles on moonlit nights – oh, it’s funny all right, pretty funny, because Lowe has gone all the way to Portland to become the Beast, and the man he ends up ripping open on that snowy November night is Milt Sturmfuller, a lifelong resident of Tarker’s Mills…and perhaps God is just after all, because if there is a first-class grade-A shit in Tarker’s Mills, it is Milt Sturmfuller.

December – Magically, the beast’s other eye blows out like a candle in a stormwind!

Another easy one for me – pretty much the entire February chapter focusing on lonely virgin Stella Randolph. In what could otherwise be safely marketed as a young adult book, the tragic story of Stella Randolph’s sad, solitary life – marked by jokes and sniggers behind her back, her failing Set ‘n Sew shop, and her mailing of twenty Valentines to herself (including those from Paul Newman and John Travolta) – broke my heart into pieces. Only her death is more tragic than her life, and the final sentence of the chapter is devastating.

I’m tempted to say Uncle Al, because Al is one cool dude and I’m sure he got up to something interesting and scandalous…but of course I have to go for Marty Coslaw. Marty is pretty darn cool himself.

START DATE – October 31, 2015

  • Lou Sytsma

    This is one of the ones that fell throught my awareness net. Didn’t know the book existed until I saw the movie – Silver Bullet. King sure does create that small town feeling at ease. The Reverend in this one seem like a forerunner to the one we got in Revival.

    As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts – interesting before and now viewpoints.

  • Terry Emery

    Rich, last year at Baltimore Comic Con, Bernie had a few pieces of Cycle artwork for sale in his portfolio. What I saw looked like preliminary sketches, but at least something was still available. I bet if you contact him, he could hook you up with something that is related, even if it isn’t a piece that made the final book.

    I’m loving these re-read commentaries. Keep up the good work.

  • Adam Hall

    Great essay, Richard! I first read this one in December of 2007 in the span of a couple of very cold days. The book’s creepy atmosphere resonated very well with the cold winter nights I spent reading this book.

    I first stumbled upon this book very early on in my days of discovering King’s works in the stacks at my public library, but I never read it until I found it one day at a bookstore. It was a rare sighting because I had only ever seen it at the library before. I quickly snatched it before anybody else could get it, paid for it, and then took it home to read it. I love a good werewolf story and this one certainly did not disappoint.

    Upon revisiting it, I also had learned in the years after my initial reading that the story was originally going to be published as a calendar, so the one chapter per month thing made a lot more sense to me this time around. And I loved Marty Coslaw’s character even more this time around and I loved his relationship with Uncle Al. I think you connect with those kinds of bonds and relationships a lot more as you get older.

    The book is short and sweet, but in my opinion, it is one of King’s most underrated works and shouldn’t be overlooked so much. It’s creepy, suspenseful, it has great and colorful characters, and it has a great small town setting. Everything you have come to expect from a King novel.

  • JoDon E. Garringer

    I understand the allure of this book (great graphics, intriguing concept, etc…), but it just didn’t really resonate with me. I was hoping this round would be better than my first reading several years ago, but all I wanted to do was finish it so I could “check it off the list” and move on to Pet Sematary!!

  • Wanda Maynard

    Great!! As always Richard. That brought the movie SILVER BULLET back to me. That book, Cycle of the Werewolf, was some scary stuff.

  • I was lucky to get a copy of the original Land of Enchantment pressing of this fun to read book. Thirty-five dollars in 1983 was a lot for a book. Now how about a reprint from Cemetery Dance? I’d buy a copy!

  • Jim Bocchinfuso

    I second Ron’s request for a Cycle of the Werewolf CD limited!! I would love to finally own a high-quality hardcover version. I’ve often contemplated buying one of those “library binding” versions (and still have one sitting in my Amazon cart waiting for me to pull the trigger). I’d gladly give that money to you instead!

    On the review, great as always Richard! I really look forward to Bev’s and your columns! One thing though, you might want to add a Spoiler Alert, for those who somehow missed reading this one since one of your Favorite Lines gives away the monster’s identity.

  • Steve Snead

    Great write up. It brought up images for me from the book. It may not be the most highly regarded but, it certainly sums up much of what makes Stephen King so memorable. He draws New England towns in such a way that even though I’m from rural Alabama I feel like he’s talking about towns I’ve known.

Day 151

I love, love, love being married. It's awesome largely because I have the best (and dreamiest!) husband on the planet. Being engaged was pretty fun too because we had several wonderful celebrations during our wedding season, but planning a wedding is tough work. I did my best to breathe and enjoy the ride, but by the time we were picking chairs and table cloths for our reception, I exasperatedly called Richard and told him that he had to handle that detail, because I couldn't make any more decisions, no matter how small they were. (He did just fine with the chairs, too.)

Over the past few weeks, though, I've learned that co-planning a shower to celebrate your best friend is less stressful than planning a magical wedding. That's what I've been doing, and I don't have any decision fatigue!

I'm heading up to New York for the weekend, with the shower on Saturday. Planning the games has been my favorite part because they are so silly and fun! When Ariel was my maid of honor, she planned several fun games and activities, and doing the same for her has helped me remember what a great time we had and how much fun being engaged was when I wasn't worried about some minute wedding detail. Being married is like that, too; it's fun when I don't sweat the small stuff. But when I do sweat it, Richard is patient and kind and helps me figure out the next steps. (Mental note to self: try to worry less and have fun more often!)

Ariel and me at my bridal shower in North Carolina! She and Robin did an amazing job planning a lovely event.
I'm so excited to meet some of Ariel's friends from New York and spend some time together this weekend! I love a good excuse to celebrate good people in love, and one of these people happens to be one of my favorites in the whole world.

Something that made today great: I ate even more bowls of Lucky Charms than I did yesterday!
Time I woke up: 9:00 am...oops. Guess I needed it.

Know Your Rights Event

No comments

Know Your Rights - Anti-Black Racism & Education

We recently presented, in collaboration with other community groups across the city, a powerful know your rights event focusing on Anti-Black racism in the education system during remote learning. Some of our venerable youth have been asking us to provide support and advocacy during this quarantine. This platform was an opportunity to share the same resources by partnering with Black Led agencies to an audience of 116 people. Pivoting our work during a time where we cannot gather in spaces means it’s even more important for us to empower our youth through a strong anti-Black racism strategy.

Our Response

No comments

In response, to COVID-19 and the global pandemic, our work at SBL has pivoted to ensuring youth have the resources they need to succeed – both educationally and socially – during this difficult time. We are supporting young people in the following ways:
 Staying connected to youth through regular check-ins. Identifying needs and finding supports to meet those needs such as: food security; overall mental well being; and sharing some key information, along with supports, provided by the government.
 Helping our youth to complete their school work. School is already challenging, and now
having to work from home creates even more challenges for our youth. Some families
do not have access to a computer or internet. We are connecting with partners and funders
to help meet those needs and reduce the digital divide in our community. With a staff team committed to the success of our youth, we have identified young people in need of laptops and provided them to engage in digital learning; we have provided families with gift cards towards the purchase of basic necessities; and youth placed with SBL will receive their Co-op credits during this challenging time.
 We have taken our Youth Space online and created virtual programming all designed and
delivered by our youth leaders we call Mentors.
Other supports have included:
 Connecting with our alumni through the JF Innovation Hub
 Supporting youth with scholarships
 One on one tutoring
 Getting much needed resources to young people and their families
 Information sharing with agencies in the Black Creek community
We are also excited to announce the most recent additions to our Board of Directors. Joy
Gooding and Sophia Ruddock have strong commitments to improving the lives of our young people and we are happy to have these invaluable members on our board. At this time, we can appreciate the level of resilience we’ve seen from community members, residents and supporters like you. Let’s continue to stay safe and stay connected.

Thank you,
Success Beyond Limits

York University students from the Jane and Finch neighbourhood have been voicing a need for a place of their own on campus, to gather, build stronger connections with each other, foster mentorship, share resources and continue to build their leadership skills. That’s how the new Jane Finch Student Innovation Hub, designed for and by the students whose unique needs it serves, was born.

Launched on Jan. 30 at an event attended by faculty, staff, partners and members of the community, the hub will provide students with access to study groups, tutoring, information workshops and trips, all with an eye to helping them navigate the academic, social and administrative elements of university life.

The hub, located in the Centre for Public Sociology in Ross Building (N141) at Keele Campus, is a result of a partnership between York University Faculty Association’s (YUFA) Community Projects Committee, the Resource Centre for Public Sociology, Success Beyond Limits and the Department of Sociology at York. It builds on the work of Success Beyond Limits and York University – TD Community Engagement Centre’s First Year Network which focuses on supporting youth in their transition from high school to post-secondary education.

Lorna Erwin, Co-Chair of YUFA Community Projects, spearheaded the initiative to bring together the partners to collaborate to develop the hub. The new space will help students with a range of academic supports and help incoming students navigate university life.

“Through the support of our partners we finally have a space on campus that is dedicated to supporting the transition and leadership abilities of students form our local high schools,” said Talisha Ramsaroop, Community Project Coordinator with the TD Community Engagement Centre. “I’m excited to see the new opportunities and innovative ideas that will grow out of the space.”

Khadar Hilowle, is a forth-year history major at York University and the Jane Finch Innovation Hub Coordinator. He was motivated to take on a mentorship role because he remembers the challenges he faced as a new student. “It’s kind of like a pay it forward, because when I came to York University, my first year, I had a lot of help because my sisters came here beforehand, and I was able to tap into the resources that they had,” he said.

To learn more about getting involved with the Jane Finch Social Innovation Hub, contact the York University – TD Community Engagement Centre’s Community Projects coordinator Talisha Ramsaroop or Success Beyond Limits Executive Director Mohamed Ahmed.

A full calendar of events organized by the York University – TD Community Engagement Centre can be found on the centre’s website. Visit York’s community engagement website to discover the many ways York University engages and serves the community.

School Year Trips: Skyzone

No comments

Our Youth Space is dedicated to the young people who need it. Operating out of this space, located at Westview C.S.S, we run various programs aimed at engaging youth. Each month we aim to go on a different trip. Those who participate in our homework club get first dibs on any events/trips that we go on.

We went to Skyzone; a place for youth to have fun playing dodge ball while jumping on a trampoline. A familiar trip for us but it is always refreshing to have a new group of youth each year! The obstacle course was a challenge but one of the best workouts for everyone who came.

Summary Read First Chapter image missing

Category Finalist - 2013 Eric Hoffer Book Awards, presented by Hopewell Publications

SILVER MEDALIST – 2012 ForeWord Book of the Year in the Political Science Category

An examination of the ethical issues surrounding tax cheating and implications for public policy.

From unreported gambling winnings and inflated claims of the value of clothing donated to charity to money hidden in Swiss bank accounts and high-profile tax schemes plotted by celebrities and business leaders, the range of tax cheating opportunities is wide and the boundaries and moral status can be hazy. Considering the behavior of individuals and small businesses as well as the involvement of congress and the IRS, Donald Morris combines insights from law, psychology, sociology, criminology, accounting, economics, and philosophy to examine the ethical issues surrounding tax cheating and implications for tax policy.

“…a unique perspective on the federal tax system in the US … While many readers will disagree with [Morris’s] conclusion … the value of the book lies in the journey.” — CHOICE

“This is not a how-to guide for tax cheaters, nor is it a green light to cheat. The author defines tax cheating as paying less than the law says we owe, whether this is done deliberately or not. His point is that Congress has the obligation to revise the Tax Code to make it simple, transparent, and equitable, so that all taxpayers should know what constitutes their fair share. Morris draws on a large pool of tax cases, experts, and moral philosophers to make his case, and he is grounded in the experience of ten years as a small business owner and tax preparer.” — Richard P. Mullin, author of The Soul of Classical American Philosophy: The Ethical and Spiritual Insights of William James, Josiah Royce, and Charles Sanders Peirce

“Morris gives us a thorough collection of thoughts and quotations about a sensitive subject—how do morals and ethics affect the completion of a tax return? Who is more unethical, Congress in writing the current tax law or the taxpayer in paying ‘too little’ tax? What motivates a citizen to ‘volunteer’ to pay a tax bill?  Does Congress really want to close the tax gap? Should a court apply only the letter of the law in a tax case, or should a higher moral principle also apply? By approaching the term ‘cheating’ in a morally neutral manner, Morris removes much of the baggage that restricts the usual talk about taxes—the book allows for a more fruitful review of the economics of the deal between the citizen and the government, that we call taxation. Intriguing, fresh, accessible, up to date.” — William A. Raabe, coauthor of Federal Tax Research, Ninth Edition

Donald Morris is Associate Professor of Accounting at the University of Illinois Springfield. He is a CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, and a former tax practitioner with eighteen years of experience, including ten years as owner of his own firm in the Chicago area. He is the coauthor (with Lois Ruffner Plank, Bryan R. Plank, and Christie Plank Ciraulo) of Accounting Desk Book: The Accountant’s Everyday Instant Answer Book, 2011 Edition, and the author of Opportunity: Optimizing Life’s Chances and Dewey and the Behavioristic Context of Ethics.

Solar Panel at Shanti Van – India by Interlock Charity

Solar Panel at  Shanti Van - India by Interlock Charity

There are sufficient solar panels now installed at Shanti Van by Interlock a Britain registered Charity , making it possible for the site to rely solely on solar energy.

The Interlock HQ and the guest houses’ electrical appliances have been powered by the solar panels since late 2007. We have batteries to store spare solar powerand use it when there is no direct sunlight available, and we also have an electricity generator to ensure supply in case of need.

Panels and batteries were installed on the clinic and the office, ready for use when the buildings will start operating (see Shanti Van project for more info). Not only are we helping the environment and saving money on electricity but most of all we are showing that it is possible to implement renewable energy technologies in remote areas. Our work is an example for those that think that solar power is a complex technology available only in urban areas.

Solar demonstration / alternative energy project – We are discussing with teachers of local schools about organising school visits to Shanti Van for the students to see how solar power works. Those students could be the future solar power engineers to work in Interlock Shanti Van and other projects!

Interlock is presently working on a system to use affordable solar power to pump water for the villages of the Konkan area. We would like to hear from professionals that could help us expanding our solar / wind power projects and help to establish the demonstration unit.

Thanks Terrence and  Interlock for sharing your project with us!
Email and information are from Interlock Charitable Trust.

Haitian Benefit Show at Radio-Active 1/24/10

by Diana Ciuca

Haitian Benefit Show at Radio-Active 1/24/10

In the quaint corner of a vinyl-ed up, toned down records store, stood two mics. Unoccupied. It wasn’t long until two ‘punks’ grabbed those mics and started jamming out. Not just singing for the sake of singing, or for commission, or even to attract a crowd. They sang, danced, yelled for charity. Thanks to Radio-Active Records, one of the only venues which allows bands to play shows without charging an entrance free, boxes of caned food and stacks of water bottle packs were gathered for a Haitian Relief Effort.
The show featured a few local bands, mainly playing ska/punk/folk music. Since its a local show, not many people in the crowd were singing along and swaying to the music. That gave them an opportunity to do their own thing, like dance around a bit. Nevertheless, the bands each played a few covers and asked audience members to join in. The lively action of the shows along with energetic band members infused the entire atmosphere with energy. Loud, fun, free… what more could anyone ask for? And you even help out charity and local mom & pop small businesses that are struggling in these rough economic times.

Special light on The Strikeouts!
As on of the bands there, you could say that their range is not so local. With a guitarists who goes to college in Miami, an Argentinian guitarist, a bassist who’s last name is Parisi, and a tenor saxist who’s name is Curtis, The Strikeouts! are definitely a mosaic of diversity that’s also reflected in their music. They describe themselves on their facebook page, the band represents “no frills South Florida Skacore.” Returning from an exhausting tour around Florida from Jacksonville to Orlando and back down to Boca, The Stikeouts! have started doing some professional recordings. Their next show is February 17th, check out their page for more information. If you’re looking to dance and jump around, you better be there.

Yaay Death and Stuff

So while it’s only 2 new tasks complete, there’s 2 more that are 80% there and others are planned out.

Here’s a recap of new stuff:

  • PCs and monsters now shoot and damage each other with functioning ranged combat!
  • PCs can die!
  • Monsters can die!
  • Monster spawner behavior is 90% there
  • PC equip-able items / attacks are close to being there.
  • New portraits are almost done.. then we’ll have 3 different PCs
  • Project title finally announced:

And Here’s a new Screenshot showing some of the things that you can see:

LOS Targeting

Minor but important progress. Holidays (and Skyrim) were not as conductive as hoped to progress.

Map entities (monsters and PCs) now scan for the nearest visible targets within their field of view and as within LOS on the level map.

Monsters now have a new behavior available on spawn which is to start stalking a Random PC.

The goal is to have several behaviors available for monsters to utilize what cna be mix and matched during levels.. (patrolling.. random walking, waiting,) and then have events and triggers switch them out asin-game events etc..

Next up.. either monster spawners or starting the prep work for combat mechanisms.

Code Development Post

More Progress

Good progress.. A little slow.. but progress nonetheless.

PC icons (as seen below as the Tokens with Wizard faces on them) can now be selected, and told to move to proper spots on the map and assigned a facing location.

Also good progress on the whole monster spawner Behavior.  Still some thinking to be done on how to do some of the details but I must say it’s really nice to be making tangible progress again.

Progress Update

Third Time tis the Charm

Ok, needed a bit of a fresh mental break from typing and numbers for a day or two so I started the beginning of the large pile of character protraits that I’ll need to make (somewhere between 10 – 50)   That’s the joy of doing things as an indie developer.. I can put on whatever hat I want to today.  Granted at some point I’ll have to put on the businessperson hat and then it’ll not be so much of a joy.. and when time comes to put on that 400lb steel and barbed wire hat labelled accounting I’m sure it will be no fun at all.  But today… today I’m wearing a paint spattered cartoony beret.

Oh and I also got a large chunk of the UI implemented.

Looks a lot like yesterday’s post?  Well it should.. except this one works and lets you scroll the map etc etc.

Art Code design Development

Daily Progress update.

I know… updates two days in a row??!  What madness..

Manged to get A* following objects to automatically turn and adjust their facing while maintaing their portrait’s orientation.   Also increased the basic map tile size by one so things aren’t as cramped.  The remainder of the evening was spend working on the following Mocup UI:

As you can tell I’m targeting a baseline 1280×768 resolution.  (obviously.. doesn’t everyone count the pixels on every image they see?)  The different thing is that designing for widescreen (6:9 / 6:10) and then making it work in old school 4×5 instead of doing it the other way around, lets you make some design decisions that you usually probably wouldn’t do.   With Widescreen you can essentially forgo the old L shaped UI frame and just settle for a thicker | shaped sidebar.. and still have plenty room left over.

I think we’ll be seeing more and more of this as the old 4×5 proportion fades into obsolescence. ..

Art Code Development

The Fall Season!

Whoa.. after what feels like an absolutely morale crushing infernal heat wave that has more or less sapped all willpower for the last several months… it’s time to get the show back on the road.

Here’s a peak at what’s been worked on.  More details as soon as I get more gameplay things put in.  And after a break to Javaland  it’s back to good ol TGB.  The upside is that things make so much more sense now.   Many more thoughts on the matter later on.

Development Games General Post

Well, some development progress.

The in-game map now reflects a proper mow branching randomly generated maze based on Prim’s Algorithm, the trickiest bit was adapting it to do without proper arrays Toquescript is a bit funny about that. After that, I created a basic start for a tileset etc etc and got it rendering properly in the engine.

Alpha 3 screenshot 001
Alpha 3 screenshot, Doors!

Tonight I got the tilesets to properly interpret the door and trigger tiles and render the proper animated tiles for them (after creating said animations of course). Spent a little time trying to figure out why shooting seems to crash the game on the tile based level but didn’t get much beyond making it not crash.. but not showing the shots either..

Alpha 3 screenshot 001

So that’s the next step, and after that activating the triggers and shutting the doors to indicate the start of a wave of enemies.

On the webby front, some minor tweaks galore to the theme with some more changes planned. Over the weekend I put up the site for GFW and she’s putting it to great use already.

the task has Rubio control

For the Jazz team, for the Pacers, is still a relatively ideal, ah, more stable output point, so with a good point guard can quickly release the attack firepower of oladibo ah, completely and completely, so that, oladibo can be wholeheartedly. Well, attack, other things to Rubio to participate in, organize the attack, the task has Rubio control, so Joseph, ah, including corison, this is not, ah, a decent point guard, not a qualified point guard, so, ah, Rubio’s sex is more obvious. Yes, it’s quite clear. Oh, the first and second one of the Suns is to keep on. As for the contract issue, I also talked about my personal opinion. If you give 45 million yuan in three years in case of 1500 yuan, the contract will be regarded as an ideal one. So, what kind can it be played. It’s not very clear. It’s also in the groping stage. So, it’s too long and too long to give. Well, there’s potential danger for the team, so be careful. It’s more ideal for the two teams.

It’s OK. Let’s be bold. Let’s fight. Ah, it’s OK to lock Rubio in a four-year contract with $80 million in four years. But I don’t like this choice. Four years, three years, 15 million yuan and 45 million yuan. I think it’s more ideal to have a contract parallel

the Lakers have formed a big three

I believe that if we sign Durant and Thompson at the same time, the warriors will not be in this line-up next year. Ah, the so-called death five is not established. Ah, there is no more. Then the eastern pattern should be different. Well, this procedure is because the Lakers have formed a big three, and there is no last ticket. If they include Jimmy Butler and Michael Owen, they can’t be in the Laker team, so it’s a better choice to stay with the 76ers and Jamie butler with the 76ers.

Because, we know, ah, if the volume is too large to leave the East, then the only team in the East that can compete with the 76ers is the bucks. Now this team, the whole team, is worried about the contract problem. He is too busy now. There is no possibility of this kind of recruitment. What he has to solve first is internal. Contract issues, Middleton, Ding, heart, tribe Gordon also need 15-20 million. I personally think that 20 million must be less. Ah, what, he needs more, or blogs need more. I think English is also the most important thing for bucks this summer. If you want to sign a contract and renew your contract instead of recruiting them, you can lay a good foundation and cover all these players. Next year, it will be very competitive. Then the Bucks’ only imaginary enemy, that is, the Bucks’ 76ers, will keep Jimmy Butler.

I just want to beat the New York Knicks!

I think it’s so childish, really naive. Do you think that Durant is still the same as Durant in the past two years later, Durant is still the present Durant. It’s really stupid. The nets are going to have bad luck. I don’t know. It’s bad luck. It’s too optimistic. Durant gambles that Durant will be able to return to the top when he recovers from injury. Ah, you really have such a fool. Anyway, we Chinese have money. It doesn’t matter to be cheated. Stupid decision. Of course. Well, it will be confirmed in two years’ time. Now, we don’t make too much evaluation. Achilles tendon rupture is just a very serious commodity. Before we said, Durant’s shares will be five percentage points. At least, as you said, Durant Russia recovered.

You are very good, very good, under the circumstances, it is possible to achieve, it is also possible, ah, it is just a business, right? Because after all, the appeal of virgins, Durant’s joining, and the nets is a great, evil and realistic one. This stimulation has been for so many years. Some of them are holding down two teams. Neither of them has much improvement. There is Durant and Owen. Maybe Durant has introduced Durant in order to bring Owen. That’s all. As we said before, um, the skepticism about New York has been abandoned. Well, the basketball team’s impulse to get married. I don’t know whether it was said in the program or in the group. I have forgotten that the New York team and Durant are injured, so the hunger news is less and less, and the confidence of Durant is aroused. Extremely low

Leonard, make a decision!

About Leonard, why didn’t you make a decision? Why didn’t you ask me, ah, how do I know? I don’t know. I don’t know why he didn’t make a decision. I don’t know when he did. I, only know me, it’s him and me, and I don’t make a decision. Well, I want to think about it again. Let’s analyze it in this issue. If I’m like this, if I stand in his angle and position, well, first of all, I have to imagine myself as a top NBA player.

Superstar, superstar, superstar, oh, not superstar. Ah, I talked with you about superstars and superstars in the group two days ago. Right, we never use the wrong words. You can rest assured that our definition of superstar, superstar, superstar is very clear, very clear. There is a red line. Ah, the leader is not a superstar. Ah, the word superstar should not be used indiscriminately. If it is rotten, it will not be used. If the street is rotten, there will be no gold. Ah, I will imagine myself as a superstar. I have taken a lot of money. Some people love it. Well, every team now wants me. Every team thinks I’m hungry. It’s a hero of the city, and so on. There’s still a chance to earn a lot of money. I’m standing on this point of view to think about this problem. Why haven’t I made a decision yet. Well, in fact, it’s very simple. I think it’s very simple. Before I give you an analysis, I’d like to talk about it first. No matter now, talk about where we have to go. Now I see fans, mainly divided into two groups

Glow in the dark iron on ; Canada heat transfer paper

God will punish those who are righteous!

Paul, George and, the leaders, we did in front of us. The character of the program is open to discussion. This has been said very politely. This is in all these years. The main core points of the team are the two absolute cores of the team. Ah, those who have such character and conduct, and do such things, I think, are relatively few. Generally, there is only one right, or is it right? Even if there are more role players, it doesn’t matter, right.

The boss and the second of the two teams are like this. Well, I see that there are few of them, so I don’t quite approve of such teams. Moreover, I’m skeptical, I don’t even think it’s disgusting. Why do you say that sometimes. Oh, you have to say that these things that Paul George has done really make people listen. Pain, enemies, quick, right? We are still in front of us. The backhand slap of the deer skin Paul George behind him. Ah, puff XD is on Paul George’s face, right? The so-called joint plot, the result is a win-win situation. Thunder people, ah, now stand up, come out and say, this is your unilateral thing, ah, you are talking nonsense, right? When we talked about the common will, ah, smoke, quickly right? That is, God will always stand on us. Er, yes, it is special. We don’t need to say more about Blaise address, right. Just slap and go back, right? Well, it’s not pitiful, ridiculous or ridiculous, right? For these Paul George fans who talk about that, where do they come from? Where do they come from? Where do they come from? Where do they come from.

Don’t you feel that the clippers have all become the public enemies of the league? No, if you support the clippers, this is the direct Paul George of the leadership. This is a kind of inconsistency of values. It can even be said that you are a small part of the crowd. Your values need to be discussed. What kind of conspiracy are they playing? You have to know that this is not a matter of justice, a conspiracy Trick, eat ginseng torch, wipe his mouth, and then tie a bow tie, said, well, good taste, he is not one. What this mature player should do

The Lakers have a bad start!

Let’s talk about the Laker team and Corzine. Then on the last program, we finished some views on Owen. Some fans, ah, have doubts about our position. A lot of people think that we are, currency patent, ah, program. After listening for a long time, you will not have this idea. Ah, what should be said, what should be done, what should be done? Corzine’s injury is a major blow to the Lakers. This is a major exception, ah, a major regular meeting. Well, fortunately, there is still time, not in the middle of the season, or at the end of the season. The Lakers still have time to adjust their diagnosis, so the current playing style will have a fundamental change, ah, unless the Lakers are in the position of interior center.

As a supplement, I think at the beginning of the season, ah, koshins’ day this summer is optional, or, er, it can be carried out, or it can be given up. Why do you say so. We know that in the warriors, ah, the whole season of last year did not play a decisive role. They gave a lot of time and opportunities. Alas, they wasted a lot of time and opportunities. It can even be said that in some cases, they even brought down a kind of player. That’s right. I don’t have any hope for him, but after signing, ah, after Corzine signed, a series of supplements from the Laker team are indeed, based on the fact that Corzine can handle the position of the first mover, supplement the other positions, in other words, ah, to some extent for him. I also believe that he can have a good performance and, um, complete attendance rate next season

They are close to the fans

Today’s other games, er, talk about two games. Ah, there are too many snatching words and I can’t talk about them. Mavericks, ah, the lone ranger team won the game again today. The thing is 25 + 10 + 10, triple double performance. In addition, the thunder team may not have many thunder fans now. They are close to the fans, and they may have defected. So wait for Paul fans or for now. For aspheric geometry, let’s talk about the little bag, er, first of all, the Mavericks. Er, I think it’s just the fans who watch the ball now or in the past two years. You can take this thing and set it up.

Or a favorite star, ah, this player, we said last year that it is a material that can be made. Or, it has been shaped. This player can play for ten years, but in the future, it can play for the Mavericks. We can see last year’s game, watch this year, observe a few years, and then observe these. Well established

Do warriors still have a chance?

The future is that in the next three years, the top 10 players in the League will have their contracts confirmed. In other words, 15 of the top 20 players in the league have been finalized in the future. Second, the players who have the ability have basically owned the famous players, and the possibility of moving the team is very small. It is basically impossible for a single signing to happen only through trading. Then who has the ability to undertake the contract of Lhasa and isolation, which together cost 50.5 million yuan, is a super big move. How many teams, can, score, is still a problem, so the problem is that you say to solve it, ah, it’s hard to solve, right? It’s not easy to solve it, but if it can be solved well, it can bring the dead back to life. Ah, I think Thomson’s injury problem is that he played Thompson in December. It’s a more reasonable and acceptable reality to come out. Ah, some netizens want to ask him where the current problem is once something happens. We, in this program, said that we can listen to him. This kind of problem is not called a problem, but this kind of problem is actually forced. He is forced to appear.

He can seek change now, but he can’t do it without permission. Ah, Lhasa has problems with Curie. Now he needs to change, change and change, turn around, and Thompson will have to change back and try again, because curry can play again after Thomson comes back. Original, function

Anthony Davis, to top the position of position five

There are opponents like this and that. There are opponents with different sizes and different physiques. Well, many strange lineups will appear, so you are framed and your skills should be excellent, right. It seems that you have to see the efficiency at that time. If, in the playoffs, I think that the effect of being framed is far better than that of face. The core issue of framing is physical fitness. I’ll say it slowly. We always think that the emphasis is that the Lakers play big four, and we have discussed children before. The next time we type or play five, we should first emphasize that the Lakers are forced to play big four. They are not active in seeking change, not in response. First of all, you should be able to play to this extent. You have to fight Howard and McKee or cousins down to a big four.

Anthony Davis, to top the position of position five, then your opponent, whether it is a big four small or its core, position five is still on the field with Captain Anthony Davidson, right? If this is against the upper position, there is no advantage in the body, right? To discuss this issue, but if you put flowers. In other words, if you use a small lineup to play McKee, or if you use a small lineup, your own justice No. 5 position is no longer on the court, how to play on the upper or four on four. If it is four on four, Anthony Davies in the league, play No. 4, the power forward position, his physique is very advantageous.

Durant’s spirit of death

Let’s talk about Durant because he did a program about Durant and the warriors before. Then there is a question about Durant himself. He said that he would do a program. After several days, let’s talk about it today. When it comes to Durant, then we must drag the warriors into it. Well, these two are combined. What are we going to say? It’s about Durant’s interview with the media before, er, the value of leaving the warriors. I wrote about my thoughts at that time. Then I read this article. Ah, I asked Durant directly whether his comments had affected Durant’s choice and detention. Durant also made it clear that there must be such a reason, which is one of the most important reasons.

Well, I didn’t see much else. I was mainly concerned about the incident with Durant and green. Last season, we knew that at the beginning of the season, the warriors didn’t play well in a few games. Ah, it was also a bad road. So, curry caused Durant and green to have a conflict on the field. Green was also suffered because of this. existence

A Diaspora Trust Fund for Ethiopia and Embracing a Culture of Democracy

A rally in Bahir Dar to support the reform measures that are currently being implemented in Ethiopia by the new Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on July 1st, 2018. (Photo via Facebook)

Tadias Magazine

Updated: July 10th, 2018

New York (TADIAS) — “Diaspora, here is a call to you. A dollar a day to help children get an education, our brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers get health service, and above all, consider this as ‘paying back’ to your people who gave you future while they had no one,” said PM Abiy Ahmed in a recent comment while defending Ethiopia’s 346.9 billion Ethiopian birr ($12.71 billion) budget and inviting fellow Ethiopians who reside overseas to become part of the solution.

As we prepare to welcome Dr Abiy here in the United States in a couple of weeks we encourage our readers not only to heed his call to establish a “Diaspora Trust Fund” to support the ongoing reform initiatives to take root and to assist in other development projects, but also to think outside the box and offer fresh and innovative ideas in all fields to help the country accelerate its mission of becoming a more peaceful, democratic, united and free society with a prosperous economy that respects the natural human rights of all its citizens.

It’s remarkable that so much has changed in Ethiopia in such a short time that it almost feels like we are living through one of those rare moments that take place once in a blue moon in Ethiopia’s ancient and mystical history, such as the building of Lalibela in the 13th century; the founding of the cities of Harar in 1216 and Gondar in 1635. Or for that matter the victory at the Battle of Adwa in 1896 and the triumphant return of Emperor Haile Selassie to Addis Ababa in 1941 from exile to reclaim Ethiopia’s throne after the defeat of the occupying fascist Italian forces during World War II. And we can’t be more happier than to be part of this incredible time in 2018.

Just barely five month ago — during a desperate period in Ethiopia amid relentless unrest, a deafening chorus of skepticism, talk of civil war and gloomy predictions of an imminent collapse of the Ethiopian state — we wrote a brief and hopeful editorial titled Seize the Moment Ethiopia in hopes of encouraging our generation to rise to the occasion and “assure the continuity of Ethiopia’s long history as well as our shared and sovereign culture” and noting that “building a true democracy requires transparency, a responsible and free press, and the maturity to think about the common good, beyond our own selves and group interests, both at the grassroots and leadership levels.”

Today, thanks to Dr. Abiy and his team, events of the past three months have exceeded our wildest imagination. As President Obama would say: “We are the generation we have been waiting for!”

We are delighted that Ethiopia has a confident, good-hearted and educated leader who fully understands that he serves at the will of the people and for the people. More importantly Dr. Abiy is open to new ideas, open dialogue, free press, constructive criticism and debate, which are all the basic foundations of a working democracy. Now we are optimistic that “Ethiopia is on the right track to a more democratic society.”

Below is a media round up of the latest developments from Ethiopia including the historic peace deal with Eritrea and the announcement that Ethiopian Airlines is preparing to resume flights to Asmara next week.

The summit between Eritrea’s President Isaias Afewerki and Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed marked the first time the neighbours’ heads of state had met for nearly two decades. Read more »

Dr. Abiy Ahmed, will be traveling to Washington D.C. on July 28th and Los Angeles, California on July 29th, 2018 to meet the Ethiopian Diaspora in the United States. “The objective of his trip is to hold face-to-face meetings with Ethiopian Diaspora in the U.S., according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia,” reports Fana Broadcasting Corp. “It is also aimed at boosting the involvement of all Ethiopian Diaspora living in the U.S. in the ongoing reforms, development, and democratization in their country of birth.” According to the announcement all Ethiopians are “invited to participate in the meeting, regardless of their political ideology, religion, and ethnic background.” Read more »

Leftover Prime Rib Roast Beef Stew (crock pot or slow cooker recipe)

Print Friendly

Leftover Prime Rib Roast Beef Stew

Now that Christmas is over, many of us have leftover prime rib sitting in the refrigerator.  What to do with the leftover meat slices is easy… you can make french dip sandwiches, or just reheat and serve another meal of prime rib.  But what about the rib bones and meat in-between (the rib plate that is cut away from the roast)?  These rib bones have amazing flavor and are a great ingredient to use for another tasty meal! You can make a wonderful beef soup with these bones and meat… but the leftover ribs are also a great base for making beef stew!

The best part of this stew is that you can also use up your leftover au jus and wine, and serve the stew with a dollop of leftover creamy horseradish!  You can also customize the recipe by adding whatever veggies you have on hand or prefer to use.  I like to keep it simple with beef stew by just using onions, carrots, and potatoes… but leftover celery (from a crudite platter) and other veggies (mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, etc.) can also work well.  If you have more delicate veggies to add, don’t add them to the crock pot until the last 30 minutes of cooking.  Hardier veggies (root vegetables like onions, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc.) can be added in the beginning.

Suggestion:  Use Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners for easy clean-up!

Leftover Prime Rib Roast Beef Stew (about 6 servings):

Use the leftover rib bones and meat/fat trimmings from a standing rib roast (a.k.a. "prime rib").

  • 2-3 rib bones leftover from prime rib
  • any meat scraps/fat trimmings leftover from prime rib
  • 1/2 – 2 c. leftover au jus
  • 1/2 to 1 c. leftover wine (red or white)
  • 7-8 c. water
  • 2 beef bouillon cubes
  • 1 onion
  • 4 medium sized potatoes
  • 4 carrots
  • 3-6 sprigs of thyme
  • salt, pepper to taste
  • 1/2 c. flour + 1 c. water

1.  Save the ribs from a leftover standing rib roast (a.k.a. “prime rib”).  Cut between the ribs to separate them into individual pieces of ribs (this makes it easier to fit in the pot, and also helps release more flavor from the ribs since more surface area is exposed to the cooking liquid.)

2.  Place the ribs and any leftover meat scraps or fat trimmings into the bottom of a large crockpot/slow cooker.  (I usually use Reynold’s slow cooker liners to save time on cleanup – just throw away the mess instead of scrubbing the crock!)  Dump in any leftover au jus, plus any leftover wine.  (Today I used leftover white wine… but I often will use red wine too.  Leftover au jus will add a lot of flavor to the stew – so use it if you have it, but you can leave it out if you don’t have any.)

3.  Peel the potatoes and carrots.  Cut the potatoes, carrots, and onions into chunks.

4.  Pour the water into the crockpot, add the bouillon cubes and the thyme.  (If you have beef broth – you can substitute with that instead of water and bouillon cubes.)

5.  Add the potatoes, carrots, and onions.  Sprinkle with a 1/4 tsp. or so of black pepper and about 1/2 tsp. salt.  Cover, and set to low for 8-10 hours, or high for 6 hours.  (If you prefer to do this on the stove top – you can – just simmer the meat/bones with the liquid in a pot over mediun/low for about 1-2 hours, then add the veggies in the last hour of cooking.)

6.  Remove the meat trimmings and rib bones from the stew and set aside to cool.  Remove any “twigs” from the thyme if you find them.

Mix 1/2 c. flour + 1 c. water with the back of a spoon until smooth to make a slurry.  Stir the slurry into the stew, re-cover, and continue cooking on high about 20-30 minutes (this will help thicken the stew).

7.  Meanwhile, when the meat and rib bones are cool, separate the meat from the bones/fat.  Discard the bones and fat, add the meat back into the pot.

8.  Once the stew has thickened, taste and correct the seasonings with additional salt/pepper if needed.  Serve with a side of steamed rice or leftover garlic bread/dinner rolls, add a dollop of leftover creamy horseradish (if you like), and enjoy!

  1. This will be my first try, but everyone kept telling me to save the ribs and bones. It sounds absolutely delicious. Wish me luck.

  2. Emma says:

    I had some left over Prime Rob from Christmas that I tossed in the freezer, I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with it.

    It came this () close to being turned into chili. I am so glad I found this recipe. It is delicious. My husband who would rather eat a steak through a bums beard than eat stew LOVED this. I made some bacon and jalapeño pepper cornbread and called it dinner.

    Awesome! Very good recipe. Thanks for posting this.

  3. Erin says:

    Ummm… yes please! Just the thing to do with left over prime rib from Christmas! Thanks for sharing!

  4. Kelly says:

    I also had some leftover rib roast from when my family came in for Christmas. I chopped everything and filled the crock (and put it in the fridge) the night before and just took it out in the morning to put the liquid in and set it to cook while I was at work. Super easy, turned out tasty. I did add garlic and a couple other spices. Only downside is it’s just me, and I feel like I’m going to have stew for the rest of forever now haha; think this would freeze okay?

    • Mika Mika says:

      Sure! I don’t see why not? I freeze individual portions of soups and stews all the time for future lunches, and they usually taste pretty similar once defrosted and heated.

  5. Barb says:

    I made it but add a can of onion soup it came out great….

  6. Jan Franklin says:

    I make a lot of stew
    My “kids” aged 36 and 40 said it’s
    The best stew they ever had
    Thanks much

  7. Georget says:

    I put in rib roast bones an you came up.thanks for doing this. It is in the crock pot .cant wait for dinner

  8. Toni says:

    I found this recipe by using Google search. I am not a brave cooker but this recipe is AMAZING!!! My husband ate it and liked it! I am so grateful this recipe was posted…THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

  9. John says:

    If you do the whole process by stove top-how long is the total cook time? I’m a little confused on step 5 on how long total cook time is before the last hour where I add the veggies.

    • Mika Mika says:

      If you want to make this on the stove top, you would simmer the meat and bones first to make a stock. How long? Up to you… taste the broth and see if it needs more cooking. I would guess 1-2 hours? Then, you would add the veggies in the last hour or so of cooking.

  10. Annette Madrid says:

    Since there was no celery called for in the recipe, I used 1/2 tsp celery salt instead of regular salt thought it was delicious.

  11. Jodi Voigt says:

    So I just made prime rib today for Easter, I did a dry rub with several different spices, will this affect the outcome of the flavor? I’m going to try making the soup with red wine and everything else (except potatoes, as they are not in our diet) listed on the recipe, wish me luck, this sounds really good!

    • Mika Mika says:

      Your stew will have a bit of the flavor from your dry rub – so just FYI that you can adjust the stew seasonings accordingly.

  12. Avery says:

    Sooo Good! I now have this recipe permanently bookmarked and am not allowed by family to make stew any other way! Thanks!

  13. BONNIE says:

    This sounds like a delicious recipe! Have you ever added mushrooms and celery? If so, how much? Thinking maybe adding them. Just don’t want to mess up the consistency.
    Also, at step 6 I assume you remove the veggies and add them back in when you add the meat back in?
    Thanks, looking forward to trying the recipe!

    • Mika Mika says:

      I don’t see why you can’t add mushrooms or celery – you can probably use any veggies that you like.
      In step 6 – it’s actually only the meat I removed from the stew. The veggies stay inside with the broth, which you then add the meat and slurry back into.

Southern Promises

April 1, 2019

Playwright Thomas Bradshaw seems to have taken literally the dictum in theater to “Astonish!” His plays like "Burning," "Intimacy," "Job," and "Fulfillment," to name only a few seen in New York in recent years, are shocking, disturbing and an assault on both the actors and audience. In The Flea Theater revival of his 2008 play, "Southern Promises," director Niegel Smith seems to have taken this one step further. In this play about race relationship between masters and slaves set in 1848 Virginia, an antidote to the theory of the benevolent slave owner, the ten-member cast of The Bats, The Flea’s young repertory company, informs us that they are all people of color and that they do not have legacy of confronting slavery on their terms. Several of them reveal that they have had DNA tests performed and discovered that they are of mixed blood, making them both black and white. [more]

Hype Man: a break beat play

November 21, 2018

“Hip hop gave me my name” says Peep One, a captivating young mixed race woman who is a beat maker; the one who crafts the tune for a hip hop song. This is one of numerous pertinent details imparted in playwright Idris Goodwin’s exhilarating drama "Hype Man: a break beat play." Mr. Goodwin’s vision is theatrical, his dialogue is sharp, and he crafts a clenching scenario.  The title refers to the backup rapper who supports the star rapper by chiming in with his own declarations and stirring up the audience.

This production is presented by The Flea and the cast is drawn from their resident acting company, The Bats. Exhibiting heartbreaking resilience Alana Raquel Bowers as Aisha dominates the play. The captivating Tanyamaria is very funny yet conveys Adriana’s melancholy. With his lithe physique, sunniness and serene presence Michael Oloyede’s performance as Calvin is commanding. Roland Lane’s charisma and animation enrich his portrayal of the difficult role of Jean-Baptiste. [more]

Mr. Njikam offers a witty take on the classic mythology of a hero’s episodic journey with a lively African-American slant. There are a lot of high school and college scenes with wise teachers referring to James Baldwin and W.E.B. Du Bois, combative students, a dying father and an imperious mother. Rhyming battles, love and enlightenment occur along the way. The narrative is so eventful and spread out that it can be difficult taking it all in and its overall impact is diluted. [more]

Ms. Nielsen has long been a treasured award-winning fixture of the New York stage with her quirky idiosyncratic comedic and dramatic talents. Here as the omnipotent matriarch Paige she is colossal. With her animated features, giddy voice, and frantic physicality, she delightfully mines every bit of the abundant dark comedy in the play. Alternately when slowing down to express fiercely serious sentiments she is chilling. This searing performance is yet another memorable turn from this incomparable actress. [more]
