The F35: 17 years in development, massively over budget, nowhere near ready
The American people were assured the new jet would enter service in 2008 and be a high-performance replacement for the military's aging airframes while only costing between $40 million and $50 million. Successful money trough. Military capability not so much. (www.pogo.org) עוד...

Lockheed and the DoD should be ashamed of trying to keep promising the public that the F-35 is the aircraft to take us through the 21 century, it is one of those programs that just keeps adding bells and whistles to make up for the bells and whistles that don't work. Lockheed and the Air Force has screwed this up big time yet no one will lose their job or their rank by defending this turkey, the costs to keep it flying during its proposed life will be astronomical. A updated version of the FA-18 Super Hornet would have done 90% of what the F-35 claims to do.

As an A/V-8B replacement it's an amazing aircraft. Had they kept it that way, it would be well into service by now. However, deciding to make it the replacement for the A/V-8B, F/A-18, F-16, A-10, and every other aircraft they can think of was very poor planning. It's like Robert McNamara was in charge of aircraft procurement, tricking us with a "jack-of-all-trades" plane once again.
patrick baker לפני 2 שנים 26
one engine only- bad idea from the start. Very large technological leaps- great for the american spirit of 'we can do this', not so great for those who fund those delusions. The laughable attempts to sell this turkey as an A10 replacement. no guns, no loiter time, no ability to operate safely at the same working altitudes that the A10 so successfully does. An aircraft so complex that makes dispatch reliability a fools dream. The F35 is immune against cancellation, for components come from all parts of the country. Does it feel like a bad decision kept alive despite overwhelming reasons to kill it off and start over, clean sheet?
LW P לפני 2 שנים 5
Hold on to your butt (and wallet) because now they're talking about a B-52 replacement that's going to be just as much a boondoggle.

Heh, we'll be using the B-52 for 100 more years at this rate. There will be news fluff pieces about a family that has had four generations of servicemen flying the same B-52H.

The B-1 is just as effective. Why not keep it going since it has much newer airframes?
The B-2 is out there as well though with less range and lower weapons load.
I love the Buff but it doesn't make sense to keep the tired, old airframes going.

Yes, but F-35 program really yields zero commercially viable technology. Airlines don't need stealth or VTOL or single engine reliability.
The only thing that might have use for us is that fancy VR helmet
You could argue that more reliable engines would be applicable to the civilian market. It's a stretch, though.

Will the F-35 be the first front line fighter aircraft to be replaced by it's successor BEFORE achieving full, complete operational capability??? Absolute joke of a program
It's looking more like it may be the first front line fighter aircraft to be replaced by it's predecessor...
That assumes it WILL achieve full, complete, operational capability.

They blow money by the millions on something like this while cancelling the A-6 when it was a much more effective bomber. We don't need fighters as much as we used to. The F-18 would suffice as would the F-22.
They also killed the S-3 leaving no carrier-based anti-submarine platform. The SH-3 range is too short as is the land-based P-8.
Meanwhile, Russia is building up its sub fleet as is China and North Korea is a couple boats into building theirs.. with planned nuclear weapons capability.

Ronnie Robertson לפני 2 שנים 2
This project sounds like another Osprey!
The Osprey ist ein wunderkind compared to the F-35.
It finally turned out well after substantial problems but still not nearly as expensive outside the cost of lives.
This thread has wandered all over and the end result is muddy. I would therefore like to make two simple points.
1) The problems of governance in controlling military procurement for the U.S. Military are many and multi faceted, BUT the end results have been mixed. There have been BOTH six hundred dollar toilet seats when over-site grew lax, and brand new nine week miracle weapons delivered to troops in combat for a small "bonus" on an existing supply contract when vendors "step up". So while procurement management has a seriously poor track record on this project, procurement management IS NOT the root cause of problems with the F-35 project.
2) The concept of a "multi-role military aircraft" has some compelling arguments in it's favor. Specialization for warriors is sometimes a path to irrelevance. But the key issue in the world of aeronautical engineering is not whether to extract the maximum performance envelope from each new design but how to maximize the number of OPTIMIZED performance parameters in the WHOLE design. There are ALWAYS trade-offs, and they are not simple choices, but a complex multidimensional balancing act. Only occasionally can balancing be made easier by the addition of more money!
The ROOT cause of the F-35 debacle is the concept of "multi-role aircraft" being stretched way past the breaking point. You see I am a dedicated user of a multi-tool. I got my first Boy Scout knife in 1955, and I rarely go anywhere without my Leatherman. But yokel, offer me a boy-scout sword, and I will laugh in your face.
The F-35 is a boy scout sword.

The US DoD's Department of Testing & Evaluation(DoT&E) says the F-35 is a steaming pile.
It has said it every year since the program's inception. It is over budget, the gun doesn't work, the payload is laughable, the ejection seat can kill the pilot, it has too few engines, the vertical stabilizer tends to crack at the base, the lifting fan can't operate in cold weather, the helmet sights don't line up with the real world, the helmet is too heavy (the solution to this problem is GENIUS! Stow the second visor in the cockpit and swap them when needed. The problem? The cockpit doesn't have any room in it to stow the visor.), the software is not secure and is vulnerable to hacking (and has been STOLEN at least once), the EU partners will not have access to their own computer programs for the purposes of diagnosing problems, one of the bulkheads is developing cracks at twice the rate predicted...
Or you could, you know, read the official report.
http://www.dote.osd.mil/pub/reports/FY2017/pdf/dod/2017f35jsf.pdf
TL;DR: The F-35 is an unworkable hunk of junk that is being parts sourced from every state in the union, and several partner countries, and though it doesn't work, "It is too big to fail"™.

DoD and NASA need to take technology development out of operational procurements. Develop the technology off to the side and then integrate it. Buy operational systems on fixed-price contracts. The contractor understands which technology is ready for low-risk integration.
Matt, to one degree or another they do. That is what DARPA is all about. There are other agencies that attempt that sort of segregation as well. Back in the late 70s and early 80s Adm. Willoughby USN Procurement Officer "ran a tight ship" in part, using that concept. The resistance is from Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" simply because "cost+" spells profit$.
Oh, and if Ike's MIC does not ring a bell, view Eisenhower's farewell address on UTube...

The Russian S400 air defense systems makes the F35 (and probably the F22) obsolete as this video perfectly illustrates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM_p27iKz2E
The S400 is in operation not only with Russia but with China and Iran - in the instance of Iran if Israel and the U.S. decide to go to war with Iran their F35's will have a tough time getting past the S400 and many if not most will be blown out of the skyy. The S400 is the most advanced and capable air defense system in the world in fact NATO "partner" Turkey wants to acquire the S400 as does so-called U.S. "ally" Saudi Arabia" - they recognize the S400 is light years ahead of the U.S. Patriot Missile System. As great as the S400 is Russia is testing a newer system - the S500 - that will make the S400 look like a relic (BTW it was an older S300 that blew the Israeli F16 out of the sky a few months ago)
Aside from missile systems - Russia has developed - for a tiny fraction of the cost of the F35 - fourth and fifth generation fighters that outperform the F35 and F22 in almost every aspect. The fifth generation SU-57 is already deployed in Syria giving Russia and Syria air superiority in that region over anything that the U.S. or Israel has.
In conclusion what is the F35 good for? It is only good for attacking banana republics that do not have the latest in Russian air defense technology - i.e. the F35 is WORTHLESS!
...what a waste.... :-(
William T Eliason לפני 2 שנים 1
Too late to stop. Old data as the production is now meeting requirements. Threat is different. Units are now serving in combat. A10s debate is an old one and so is the aircraft all 250+ of them which are not survivable in the threat environments the National Security Strategy defines. You can't have everything you want. So you work with what you have. Alternative is not stop the programs and get more soldiers. There are not as you say overwhelming reasons to stop the program. You can't win high threat fights with 1980s aircraft. And you can't win with no new aircraft which is where we will be as older aircraft age out. Buy new or prepare to depot and mod like the B-52. Ever flown a 40 year old aircraft? You don't in the commercial world so why would you find that idea acceptable for combat aircraft?
Define "high threat fight". To a veteran of both real combat and years "behind the wall" in the defense industry, your boogy-man mumbo jumbo rings hollow. Any good gambler knows you MUST fold and withdraw from the game to avoid throwing good money after bad. The whole "we've come too far argument" is giving weight to a false premise.

I keep wondering about all the avionics and computer systems- of the component resistors, capacitors, transistors and the like on all the boards, how many are made in America? From where do they come in time of war when replacements are neeeded?
I used to be a projectionist in Washington, and one man I worked with was a projectionist during WW II at a small newsreel theater downtown, which has since been converted to regular films. Funny story from him: By late 1942 all the carbons (for arc lights) had been used up, and since whey had always been imported from Germany, we had to start making them here for movies to keep operating during the war. Until we learned how to make them properly, however, this showed on the screen with flickering bluish and brownish black and white pictures until we finally got our act together, and removed the impurities in the graphite. Now they are mostly of better quality, made by Union Carbide; we are ready for the next war.

The real problem with this plane is, that it was ultimately developed during Obama's presidency.

Phase one of the plant uses VVER 1000, a Russian pressurised water reactor. Credit: Panther.
Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL), the operator, conducted a series of public awareness programmes to convince people about the safety measures taken for the Kudankulam Plant.
The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) is located 650km south of Chennai, in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, India. It is being developed by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL).
Two 1,000MW pressurised water reactor (PWR) units based on Russian technology were constructed in phase one of the project. An additional four units are scheduled to be added according to the agreement signed between India and Russia in December 2008.
Excavation works for the construction of units three and four started in 2016 with the aim of making them operational by March 2021.
Atomstroyexport, a subsidiary of the Russian State Nuclear Energy Corporation Rosatom, is the supplier of equipment and fuels for the nuclear power project.
Kudankulam nuclear power plant construction and protests
Concrete work for units one and two started in March 2002 and July 2002 respectively. NPCIL started commercial operations of unit 1 from midnight of 31 December 2014, while unit two was synchronised with the southern grid in August 2016.
"Two 1,000MW pressurised water reactor units based on Russian technology form part of the first phase of the project."
The construction work on-site was stopped in October 2011 because of protestors. However, it resumed in March 2012 with the permission of the Tamil Nadu government.
In May 2013, the Indian Supreme Court dismissed the petitions by nuclear activists questioning the safety of the nuclear power plant and granted the approval for the commissioning of the first two units.
The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), NPCIL and the Department of Atomic Energy of India were asked by the court to ensure the safety of the plant and give final clearances before the start of commercial operations.
Controversy regarding KNPP
Kudankulam NPP was a controversial project since its inception, with protests by local residents and various activist groups over potential radiation threats and issues related to nuclear waste disposal.
The anti-Kudankulam campaign intensified after the Fukushima nuclear incident in Japan in 2011.
KNPP is allegedly located in a tsunami-prone area and more than one million people residing within the 30km radius of the nuclear power plant cannot be evacuated safely in the occurrence of any nuclear disaster.
The People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE) is at the forefront of the anti-Kudankulam campaign.
Identification of four faulty crucial valves in reactors at Kudankulam and the arrest of Russian officials for sourcing substandard materials for nuclear equipment further fuelled opposition to the plant.
Kudankulam nuclear power plant details
NPCIL and Rosatom finalised the reactor design and engineering supervision arrangements for the construction of KNPP phase one in 1998, which cost Rs140bn ($2.47bn).
Construction of phase one started in 2001 and the first two units were originally scheduled for commissioning in December 2007 and December 2008 respectively.
The project experienced significant delays because of persistent protests by locals and nuclear activists over safety concerns.
Kudankulam NPP has a production life of 60 years, which can be extended by another 20. The first unit of the plant supplies power at a cheaper rate of about Rs3.89 per unit.
The home state Tamil Nadu is allocated 50% (925MW) of the power generated, while the neighbouring states share 35% of the residual power, including 442MW for Karnataka, 266MW for Kerala and 67MW for Puducherry. The other 15% of the generated power is unallocated and is added to a central pool.
KNPP reactor
Kudankulam, or Koodankulam, is India's first nuclear plant to use imported PWR technology. The existing nuclear power plants in India use pressurised heavy water reactor or boiling water reactor technology.
KNPP uses the advanced version of Russian-developed PWR nuclear technology, VVER-1000 type reactors, also known as water-water power reactors.
VVER technology has completed more than 1,500 reactor-years of operating time.
KNPP uses AES-92, also called the V-466 model, which is the latest version of the third-generation VVER-1000. This integrates active and passive safety measures, including passive heat removal system (PHRS), hydrogen re-combiners, core catcher, hydro accumulators and quick boron injection system (QBIS). This multi-layered feature ensures the plant and environment are safe.
The AES-92 includes a combination of active and passive safety solutions. It retains the traditional active safety provisions such as the use of neutron-absorbing control rods to control the reactivity.
The passive safety relies on natural factors such as pressure differentials, gravity or natural convection, to ensure protection against malfunctions during emergency situations.
This includes the fast injection of high-pressure boron and the provision of extra tanks for long-term supply of borated water to the reactor in a passive way, as well as a system for inter-containment area passive filtration.
The reactor building has a series of passive hydrogen re-combiners to convert abnormal production of hydrogen into water. This also includes a system for containing the molten-core of the reactor during severe accidents.
AES-92 has a double protective containment with the inner envelope made of steel and the outer one made of heavy reinforced concrete steel. This prevents radioactive release into the environment during possible disasters, including earthquakes, tornadoes or aircraft crash. The inner containment is equipped with a water sprayer system to ease the steam pressure in the reactor.
KNPP contractors
Atomstroyexport is responsible for the technical design, construction supervision and technical support for reactor commissioning, as well as training for operation and maintenance and the supply of equipment and materials.
Bharat Heavy Electricals configures the machines at the plant and NPCIL undertakes the construction, erection and commissioning.

South Tongu Assembly puts GH¢10,000.00 bounty on Assemblyman's killers
The South Tongu District Assembly in the Volta Region has placed a GH¢10,000.00 bounty on the head of the killers of the assembly member for the Sogakope South electoral area, Marcus Mawutor Adzahli.
Date Created : 3/3/2020 2:58:52 AM : Story Author : GNA
Mr. Adzahli was allegedly murdered by unknown persons at Toklopo near Sogakope in the early hours of Sunday, March 1.
Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa, Volta Regional Minister announced the reward for information leading to the arrest of those behind the horrific murder, when he led some staff of the Volta Regional Coordinating Council and the South Tongu District Assembly to commiserate with the family of the deceased.
He said he heard about the incident whilst in a meeting in Accra and had been directed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to convey the sympathy of the government to the family.
He asked elders in the community to engage the youth to allow security officers to do their work and not take the law into their hands.
"We will do our best to bring the perpetrators to book and we would not shield anybody so please speak to the youth not to act based on hearsay, since hear say can lead you astray."
The Regional Minister said security agencies would do to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
Mr. Innocent Gbedzi, Assembly Member for Hlevi Toklokpo electoral area, said they were ready to assist the police in investigations and underlined the need for the police to respond swiftly to emergency situations.
"The police are doing their best yet it is not enough. In times of crime, we call on the police and they don't respond on time. The crime ends and they rush to the scene most often, which is not the best," he lamented.
Torgbi Adeti II, the Adzahli family head commended the Regional Minister, the Assembly and Government for the support and pleaded with the police to go to every length help bring the perpetrators to book.
Mr. Adzahli, alias Mac Greenline, was shot dead at his residence on Sunday by some eight unknown assailants.
His neighbours told the Ghana News Agency they heard noise from the house at about 0100 hours, followed by several gunshots.
They said they found Mr. Adzahli and his wife in a pool of blood when they rushed to the scene and sent them to the Sogakofe District Hospital where Mr. Adzahli was confirmed dead.
His wife is however said to be responding to treatment at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
Mr Adzahli was the owner of Mac Greenline ventures, a mobile phone shop in Sogakop

Glasgow Community Plan
The Glasgow Community Plan has been developed by partners in the city to articulate the focus and priority areas where joint action can make a real difference. The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 requires the Partnership to publish a Local Outcomes Improvement Plan that sets out shared priorities for the city and where improvements are planned.
The Glasgow Community Plan and the Glasgow Community Action Plan 2018-20, which implements the Glasgow Community Plan, can be found here. Three focus areas are identified: economic growth; resilient communities; a fairer more equal Glasgow. There are two additional priority areas: childcare and transport.
The Community Plan is published along with 10 locality plans setting out how issues within specific communities across the city will be tackled; these plans can be found at: www.glasgowcpp.org.uk/thrivingplaces.
Glasgow City Council Strategic Plan
This plan sets out the priority themes and commitments that will be delivered between 2017 and 2022 by the council, its services and arm's length organisations. It aims to deliver a step change in how the Council:
Promote human rights and reduce inequalities across Glasgow.
Improve the life chances and choices for all our citizens.
Embed social justice in our policy making.
Empower our citizens, giving them a stake, and a say, in what happens in their local communities and communities of interest.
The plan can be accessed here.
Glasgow Health and Social Care Partnership
Glasgow's HSCP has published a strategic plan and three locality plans which can be accessed here.
Glasgow Health Commission recommendations
The Glasgow Health Commission concluded its investigation into the city's health with the release of 20 key recommendations in 2009, and progress in these areas will continue to be monitored, in part using the information gathered on the Understanding Glasgow website.
In 2007, the Scottish Government launched its first National Performance Framework (NPF), a ten year vision through which to measure national wellbeing. Ten years later, and with the outcomes approach placed in statute through the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, a public review of the National Outcomes for Scotland was conducted.
The revised NPF has been developed with the people of Scotland to reflect national values and aspirations for the future. It has also been formulated to link with and promote Scotland's commitment to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals which are aimed at improving wellbeing across the world. Further details of the revised national performance framework and accompanying 81 monitoring indicators can been found here.
There are many facets to national health strategy in Scotland. Some strategies focus on specific behavioural issues - such as obesity, smoking, alcohol, etc – while other wider policy focuses on fundamental causes of ill-health and ways of tackling health inequality and poverty. A comprehensive overview of policies and strategies relevant to population health, and particularly to population health improvement, can be accessed on the ScotPHO website.

Thematic contribution
Principles and objectives of the new «scuola dell'infanzia» (childhood school) in the swiss canton of Tessin
Gianni Miotto Altomare
Martino Beltrani
DOI: https://doi.org/10.24452/sjer.25.2.4661
In the Italian speaking canton of Tessin there has been a wide range of pedagogical methods used in pre-school education. Among those are: the «Asilo infantile», «kindergarten», the «Casa dei bambini montessoriana» and the «Scuola materna» models. In the last decade a further and newly defined model has been developed. It is called the «scuola dell'infanzia» or «Childhood school» which has been adopted in the official «Orientamenti prommatici» or «Education Program Guidelines» for the year 2000.
The new model aims to combine and harmonise the most outstanding characteristics of the past models into an education process adequately designed to deal with the child's needs inside the "Scuola dell'infanzia". It takes into account the child's verbal and non verbal com-munication, their emotional and affective life, their behaviour and cognitive sphere.
The current work describes, through key questions, the steps taken and the reasons which lead to the current «Scuola dell'infanzia». A description of the strengths and a critical view of the still pending challenges is also reported to show where potential improvements are needed. Furthermore a specific list of observation points is given to describe how the school sees its capability to deal with many challenges. Among these challenges are the child's needs including social needs, the ability of the teaching staff to be at the same wavelength as their educational tasks and the continuity of the education system between the «scuola dell'infanzia» and the Elementary school along with the specific pedagogical tools.

The current form of the national flag of the Slovak Republic () was adopted by Slovakia's Constitution, which came into force on 3 September 1992. The flag, like many other flags of Slavic nations, uses Pan-Slavic colors (red, white, and blue). Pictured in the centre of the flag is Slovakia's national coat of arms.

History
Slovakia's flag in its current form (but with another coat of arms on it or without any arms) can be dated back to the revolutionary year 1848. It was also used semi-officially in Czechoslovakia before World War II, by the Slovak Republic during World War II.

In 1990, the interior ministry tasked Ladislav Čisárik, a painter and heraldic artist, and Ladislav Vrtel, an expert in heraldry, with creating a new coat of arms and national flag. Čisárik and Vrtel based their designs for a modern coat of arms and flag on an existing 14th century coat of arms. However, Čisárik and Vrtel chose to enlarge the double cross three times to emphasize it as a national symbol. In addition to the national coat of arms and the national flag, the duo also designed a new presidential standard, which incorporates the double cross as well.

The new flag was finally adopted (initially without Čisárik's and Vrtel's coat of arms) on 1 March 1990 as the flag of the Slovak Republic within Czechoslovakia. The coat of arms was added on 3 September 1992 and a special law describing the details of the flag followed in February 1993, after Slovakia became an independent country.

Design

Since the Slovak flag without the coat of arms is identical to the current flag of the Russian Federation, and can also be compared to the modern flag of Slovenia, the Constitution of Slovakia added the national coat of arms to it in September 1992.

It is one of 28 national flags that contain overtly Christian symbols.

Pueblo County Patriots term limit measure for 2021 ballot
Heather Willard
The Pueblo Chieftain
A group of concerned citizens known as the Pueblo County Patriots hosted a rally Wednesday at the Pueblo County Courthouse announcing publicly that the members are working to introduce a ballot measure limiting any Pueblo public office that currently does not have a term limit.
Currently, the only county elected officials with term limits are the county commissioners, which are limited to two terms.
The rally was met with some conflict from a small group of counter-protesters, although organizers say they host the rally on a near weekly basis. Members said they hope to spread the word about the dangers of socialism and globalism in addition to the benefits of aligning government processes with religious morals. Counter-protestors decried President Donald Trump, police activity and Trump's unfounded allegations of election tampering.

The members of the County Patriots have been meeting in similar rallies since about May, shared Sharon Scutti, a core member of the group, but she believes the rallies have only garnered attention when counter-protestors also make appearances. She said her goal for the rally was to encourage community members to put pressure on their representatives to not restrict freedoms, in addition to getting involved with their community.
"We're just wanting to encourage our government to move back on the foundation of the Constitution, Bill of Rights," she said. "There is freedom for every person, as the Constitution states. We believe, as our founders, that our freedoms come from God, it is providential.
"From there, they gave us the outline of how we could download this to the public, and for quite a few decades we have done that, but probably within a hundred years, it is like we've moved off the centrality that the supreme law is the supreme law."
Julie and Roger Catalano, Pueblo residents, said they were present at the rally to help show their concern for election integrity and lack of morality in the nation.
"The separation of church and state was supposed to keep the state out of the church," Roger Catalano said. "The church is supposed to be involved in politics and building America. It's not supposed to be in tearing down the church and causing churches to shut down while Wal-Mart is still open."

He said that God would help prevent the country from becoming "immoral and illicit."
"We're fighting against socialism," clarified Julie, noting she had 12 grandchildren. "We are fighting to retain our freedom, so (my grandchildren) won't be in debt over their heads as the country is making so many bad decisions."
She called for community members who are concerned with national, state or local politics to become involved in their local government and community organizations. She said she will become a constitutional coach in the upcoming weeks, and hopes to use that status to teach others about their rights and how they can express them.
"How can you defend something if you don't understand it?" she asked.
She noted an active history in her church, and said she and her husband will be looking into more ways to be involved, including seeking to join school board and other governmental commissions. She also voiced support of the possible ballot measure limiting county elected official term limits.
"Politics were never meant to be a career," she said.
Many of the activists at Wednesday's rally voiced their distrust of the Dominion voting machines, which were used in some battleground states, including Georgia. Georgia voting officials have stated publicly that the machines were not an issue.
Others had different motivation to join the rally. Debbie Ross said she was present to show her support of Trump, in addition to calling for a return to the Constitution.
Many rally-goers wore Trump-centric gear, but said they were not there to support him so much as support for freedoms and rights they are afforded under the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Another recipe inspired by something I ate at the very memorable M. Wells Dinette in New York. The simplest of dishes and maybe the most "rustic" one I've ever ordered at a restaurant was a seemingly humble plate of carrots. Whole carrots. I've ordered sides of vegetables before but they come either chopped and gussied, hidden under sauces or in small portions. To be served craggy, big carrots in all their ugly beauty (well they are both), lying long and awkwardly on a white plate was different. It made me take them in. They were tangled in cilantro stems and lying on a bit of thin sauce that was not emulsified, part oil and something darker and sweet. They were sweet inside and out and soft all the way through but there was spice to ground them and the herbs to lift them and they were so perfect and remarkable that I'm remarking all over the place to you now. I think they were basically this, evenly cooked, totally yielding, carrots in coriander with honey or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness. I haven't searched to see if they've shared this recipe–maybe I'm totally wrong about the ground coriander–I kind of don't want to know. This recreation takes me back to that lunch so this recipe is everything I need it to be. You are not trying to transport yourself to that lunch by roasting a carrot, you maybe, just want a special carrot recipe, one that will stand out from the way you've made them before and this is it. A great side for a roast for sure, but also great on couscous or just with bread and butter, and I'd imagine over a creamy polenta. Or you can tell me how you'd like them for the most memorable experience.
Lay the carrots on a lined baking sheet. Mix the oil, syrup, ground coriander, salt and pepper well in a bowl. Spoon evenly over top of each carrot, covering top to bottom. Sprinkle half of the fresh coriander over top.
Broil for 5-7 minutes until the carrots start to turn brown in spots. Remove from oven and add the remaining fresh coriander and toss well. Serve with pan juices either hot or warm.

The Golden Ghouls: The Hilarious New "Ghostbusters" Most Definitely Isn't a Bust
Remember back in the day when the most controversial movies were about Jesus or shoving sticks of butter in odd places? Now it's about comedies involving characters busting ghosts. Oh the horrors of someone's childhood memories being reworked for a quick buck. 1984's "Ghostbusters" was, and remains, a popular movie choice for a lot of the movie-loving public. The franchise was already technically ruined by the much-maligned sequel. And people are being thrown a completely new version featuring some of the funniest ladies in Hollywood. So what's the problem? Sure this remake doesn't really NEED to exist but neither does Ben-Hur, The Fly, The Thing, Ocean's Eleven, or The Departed – and they turned out just fine (We can conveniently ignore the fact that Ben-Hur is getting remade yet again this August). So how is this new "Ghostbusters?" It's a comic delight from start to finish, with a completely game and hilarious cast, fantastic visual effects, and some of the most fun 3D work I've ever seen. Ever. In other words, it's a blast."
We can all drop the term reboot when it comes to the new "Ghostbusters." If this isn't a sheer remake then I don't know what one is. This new entry follows best friends and scientists Abby (Melissa McCarthy) and Erin (Kristen Wiig) as they hesitantly team up with fellow scientist colleague Jillian Holtzmann (Saturday Night Live's current MVP Kate McKinnon) and MTA worker Patty (Leslie Jones, also of SNL) to form a group of paranormal experts to help rid New York City of recent ghostsly apparitions. It turns out ghosts are in fact real and there seems to be a human responsible for the uptick in paranormal activity. The ladies rent out the space about a Chinese takeout place and hire Kevin, a hunky but dumb as dirt male receptionist whose only qualifications are his Ken doll good looks. He's played to the hilt by Thor himself Chris Hemsworth, who is unsurprisingly good at playing stupid. The guy is certainly an underrated comedic talent.
The film is directed by Paul Feig who is mostly known for his comedies starting Melissa McCarthy. For the record, the original film was directed by Ivan Reitman who was at the time mostly known for his comedies starring Bill Murray. Is this new version as good as or better than the original? That is besides the point. On it's own terms, it's often hilarious and has a nice visual style. Anyone who found the pacing of "Bridesmaids" to be a tad slow should have no complaints here. Feig and co-screenwriter Katie Dippold seem to know exactly what they're doing and what they hope to accomplish from a female-driven fantasy comedy. The smart script addresses the real-life controversies surrounding the film in clever ways and smartly addresses the silliness that is a team of people who bust ghosts for a living. Let's not forget that hilarious "Jaws" reference.
The films visusal's are true treat. The special effects are flashy and colorful. Sure it may not be as scary as the 1984 film but I always wasn't an adult when I saw it. The emphasis here is more on the comedy elements which makes sense because these four women are absolutely hilarious. But even if this is more of a comedy, the film's visuals are a real delight, including some of the most impressive 3D work I've ever seen on the big screen. In the IMAX 3D version things fly right out of the frame itself and over the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen giving the whole thing an extra dimension that is extremely cool.
"Ghostbusters" is a real treat in what many have considered a lukewarm summer movie season. It's a film that proves that just because it's a remake doesn't mean it can't be a blast anyways. If you're a fan of any of these ladies or this series you'd be doing yourself a favor to check out "Ghostbusters." See it out of sheer curiosity, and stay because along with "Captain America Civil War," it's the most fun movie of the summer. GRADE: A-

The recipes in Lane Morgan's book "Winter Harvest" inspire a season's worth of fresh meals.
The winter garden of goodies like escarole (above) can inspire in the kitchen, if you have the right recipes. Lane Morgan's book Winter Harvest will get you cooking.
Winter gardens in the Pacific Northwest produce more than just potatoes, squash, kale and cabbage. Open your eyes (at least in the right garden or farmers' market) and you'll find cardoons, chicory, Florence fennel, and scorzonera – not to mention rampion, raab, good king henry and hamburg parsley.
The Portland Farmers' Market is open this winter at Shemanski Park (South Park Blocks between SW Main and SW Salmon) through February 25, on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. I haven't checked it out yet this new year, but I'm especially eager to now that I've perused Lane Morgan's fabulous Winter Harvest: How to select and prepare fresh seasonal produce all winter long.
Winter Harvest is a guide to winter vegetables – from the usual suspects to the not so well known mentioned above – that the Bellingham, WA-based author and teacher first published 20 years ago, before "locavore" was even a word. Now she's updated the book for its 20-year birthday, and its message and methods are all the more welcome.
I'll have to check out the winter market to see if I can score some gobo (a root "full and rich, with a bittersweet edge"), orach (spinach-like member of the goosefoot family), or hardy kiwi. For now, there are plenty of simple recipes for commonly found winter goodies like cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale. Here is one to start with, featuring escarole (a "broad-leaved variety of chicory").
Recipe from Winter Harvest by Lane Morgan; New Society Publishers, 2010.
