PLANNING FOR BLACK FRIDAY

HINTS ABOUT A PERFECT TURKEY

First of all if you buy a Butterball turkey, why bother, just move on. I buy a fresh never frozen turkey. A lot or people do not like buying non-chemically injected turkeys because the breast meat comes out dry and tough. No, fret, I have the solution.

Season your turkey as usual. You must however base the outside with olive oil. What I do is dice part of a small white onion and put it in a custard cup with the onion. I then use my hand to base the turkey. I puncture the turkey in a lot of places. I push the onion bits into punctures.
I then season with salt and pepper and a garlic rosemary seasoning by Tones. You can buy it at Sams. I season my chicken the same way, but without the onions.
THE MAGIC TO A TENDER TURKEY
With the exception of the first 45 minutes roast your turkey as you normally do. But for the first 45 minutes, roast it breast down. This causes the back fat to drip through the breast meat and tenderize it. It also leaves the bottom of the turkey a golden brown. After 45 minutes, flip it and roast as usual.

Sorry no sweat potato pie recipe. I tried the circa 1950's Betty Crocker- yuck - I think the ginger ruined it. I may try again this week with another recipe.

BREAD PUDDING - CIRCA 1950 BETTY CROCKER, WITH BOURBON SAUCE

This is the original recipe with one modification.

Toast 8 pieces of thin white bread. Cut in half, and then thirds for a total of 6 pieces.

Heat to scalding 2 cups of Vanilla Silk Light Milk (original is regular milk) There is a big difference in taste between the Silk milk and regular milk- The Silk milk makes it creamier and gives it a hint of vanilla.

Heat milk to scalding (when it begins to boil up) then poor over cut up toast in large bowl. Mix well to insure all of the toast is soaked.

After it cools add 1/4 cup butter melted, ½ cup sugar, 2 eggs slightly beaten first, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cup seeded raisins, ½ tsp cinnamon; ½ tsp nutmeg - mix well

Pour into 1 ½ qt casserole. (About 7 ½ " square) Bake until silver knife inserted in pudding comes out clean. Serve warm or without Bourbon Sauce.
Bake

Temperature: 350
Time: Bake 40-45 minutes
Amount 6 servings

Note: I do this for parties and typically double everything and then bake same amount of time. I use a 9x13 dish

Bourbon Sauce

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons bourbon (whiskey) or to your taste

In a medium-size saucepan over low heat, melt butter; add sugar and beaten egg, whisking to blend well. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and whisk in bourbon to taste; let cool. Whisk and reheat before serving. The sauce should be soft, creamy, and smooth.
For Children: substitute 2 tsps real vanilla - not the artificial junk

THE FOLLOWING ON A BLOGGER - FROM THE BBC

"Six temporary councillors have been drafted in to run a Somerset town council, after almost the entire authority resigned their seats.

Twelve of Somerton's 15 councillors resigned in October, complaining that criticism from a local blog made their jobs impossible.

Now South Somerset District Council has appointed six of its members to join Somerton's council to provide a quorum.

Elections will be held on 7 January to fill the vacant seats.

Somerton resident Niall Connolly's blog Muck&Brass has been highly critical of the way in which certain council decisions were taken.

'Community ignored'

Mr Connolly told the BBC: "If blaming Muck&Brass helps these ex-councillors to sleep at night then that's fine but it ignores the truth.

"These councillors had, for too long, ignored the community which they were meant to serve."

South Somerset leader, Councillor Tim Carroll, said: "All major town council decisions such as setting the budget and comment on the major planning applications will be deferred until the new council is in place."

The six district councillors have been chosen to reflect the political balance of the authority."

AFTER HERALD REMOVES ATKINSON'S COMMENTS HE REPOSTS - HAS HE GONE OVER THE DEEP END

Again people my main post today is on BISD, see below, but this meltdown from Atkinson is a fast developing story which merits attention. Please excuse grammar problems but my head is about to explode - 3 vicoden and nothing - I have my eyes up against the screen just to see what I am typing.

Joe Rod probably doesnt know that Chris Davis has a spending problem. I feel sorry for the Rodriguez family. Mike and Patrick, take this guy out back and kick his butt for once. He is making your family look bad. And tell Davis to pay the Huaraches organization back that is missing.

Not one city commissioner has responded to my request for a comment.
SORRY CHARLIE ATKINSON CALLS FOR CRIMINAL ASSAULT ON CHRIS DAVIS

Guys, the BISD report is more important than this one (only because it involves an innocent child), so read the BISD one, below, first.

[UPDATE: The BH removed Atkinson's comments. Someone may have reported it or they read my post and acted. I printed the original. My original copy is the one being forwarded to the FBI. ]

From the herald:

It is commonly known that the Commish is Sorry Charlie Atkinson. If this is a misperception by the public, the BV will certainly make it a headline post if Sorry Charlie Atkinson denies the claim.

It is time the City Commission take action against this thug. This thug is a law enforcement officer with Homeland Security calling on 3rd parties to assault his perceived enemies. It is time Chief Garcia take action before the city becomes liable for Sorry Charlie Atkinson's actions. A 72 hour committment order may be in order.

Also because the comment is coming from a lunatic, I am assuming if Sorry Charlie Atkinson says it, it is false, as to the remainder of the comments.

I am e-mailing this to each city commissioner demanding a response to the people. We have a right to know we will remain safe from this city commission determined to silence political dissent. When silencing political dissent reaches the point of a public figure asking third parties to assault his opponents, our freedom is clearly at risk. Will Chief Garcia act to protect the public, doubt it. Will the city commission act to protect the public, doubt it. Their survival is dependent on keeping the people in fear and silenced.

I have printed the entire set of comments and am in the process of faxing them to FBI Director Mueller. I can tell you the local FBI office will never do its job. I will also tell you Sorry Charlie Atkinson's local supervisors are worthless. I have already reported the complaint to the Office of the Inspector General for Homeland Security.
BISD MELTS DOWN INTO A COMPLETE DISASTER - IT IS TIME PRESAS-GARCIA GOES NUCLEAR AND TAKE DOWN THE WHOLE SHEBANG - BISD TO PAY FOR CHILD ORDERED HOMEBOUND BY DOCTOR

As if poetry is guiding the process Presas-Garcia will be deposed on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 2009, a day which will live in infamy. As Montoya reported, then deleted from his blog, the law firm of O’Hanlon and Associates will be representing her interests at the deposition. It is fair to say O’Hanlon lost round one. And contrary to Juan Montoya’s near psychotic need to mislead, there was no forum shopping. The parties live in Cameron County. Forum shopping was popular in Texas some 10-15 year ago before the venue statute was changed to make it harder for plaintiff’s lawyers to shop cases around the state based on the extent of the judicial corruption in the district. Cameron county was one of the favorite places plaintiffs’ lawyers would come based on its reputation that judges were readily bought and paid for. Hidalgo County was right there next to Cameron County.

So people know how the process works at the court house, when you file a lawsuit you go to the 3rd floor, for district courts. After you hand the lawsuit to the clerk she enters some data into the computer and the computer randomly chooses the judge. Years ago lawyers would actually stand there with non-suits prepared in advanced if they got the wrong judge and actually pay 3-4 times for the same lawsuit until the computer picked the right judge. That practice has stopped. I will say I have zero confidence in how courts are chosen in criminal cases.

The DA’s office will bring a stack of cases to the clerk’s office and then the courts will be assigned. The problem is when you have a clerk handling a large group of cases at once it is a lot easier for the clerk to move the files around so that a particular judge gets a particular case. I do not know if this is happening in Cameron County, but the potential for abuse is certainly there. In the end, there was no forum shopping. I am as certain as the day is long that Presas-Garcia's lawyers would have made a big issue of the matter if there was any evidence, period, of game playing in how the judge was assigned to the case. Or is Montoya saying O'Hanlon and Associates are too stupid to fight the issue?

As to this law firm, O’Hanlon, before Montoya took down his post, they agreed to represent Presas-Garcia at the request of the great Carlos Quintanilla. I do not know, but if Accion America is paying for her legal representation, it will go down in history as one of the dumbest moves ever. The appearance is, buying a witness. It is done all of the time, but rarely works.

As to the great skills of O’Hanlon and Associates, in the Donna ISD case, you had indicted Board Members. Losing the Donna ISD case would have been like losing a murder case wherein you have the murderer on video and the defendant offering the jury autographs while bragging about being the person doing the murder in the video.

On the limited issue of Presas-Garcia turning the reports over to the DA, I have no doubt that if her lawyers would bring BISD into the suit to force BISD to pay for her attorneys fees she would win. There is no ifs and buts on this issue, whether or not Joe Rodriguez did anything wrong, so long as she believed the reports show evidence of criminal conduct, she had a fiduciary duty as a Board Member to take the matter to the DA.

The Herald is reporting, which I highly question as to its accuracy across the board, that Villalobos claims the procedure was to first bring the matter to law enforcement for investigation. That is not the law and he knows better. As a Texan Presas-Garcia has the absolute right to walk into the grand jury and ask that they investigate. By law Villalobos has no right to stop the process. But he has- Along with Judge Lopez he blocked my grand jury referral as to the La Pampa Affair. Any lawyer on behalf of Presas-Garcia or Presas-Garcia herself can walk into the grand jury and demand they investigate Villalobos for obstructing justice on this issue and any other issue - kind of like the $500,000.00 to his former law partner Eddie Lucio, while allowing a confessed murderer to walk out of court. (Eddie only got a % of the money, the rest went to the victim’s children)

Presas-Garcia needs to stop listening to idiots and accept her fate. With her fate in place, she needs to go nuclear and tell the entire story and bring this entire Board and Springston to their knees. If she does this the people of Brownsville will forgive her any transgressions she may have committed.

THE CHILD

These are the words of the pediatric psychiatrist from SA who has been treating this child about whom I regularly speak. BTW, still no phone call from BISD to see how the child is doing - “That’a boy Spingston” professionalism at its hight. “[The child] needs home-bound schooling - a regular classroom with 30 students, certainly, does not meet his needs.” He wrote it this way because last time when he wrote the child needed a structured classroom, the esteemed and incredibly well educated Assistant Principal Cardenas took the position that a classroom of 30 students is well structured.

As my readers know the father negotiated a mediated settlement of putting the child in a classroom of 10 or fewer students. Kathleen Jimenez failed to attend the mediation, failed to send anyone who actually knew what was in the TEA complaint, and then without consulting the father rejected the settlement. The TEA then moved forward with findings against BISD, based mostly on the neglect by Hector Gonzales and Art Rendon.

The three most egregious acts against this child by BISD are as follows: last Spring Mr. Ramos, formally in charge of Behavior Intervention falsely accused this child of wrong doing which result in the child having a melt-down. To cover-up the wrong doing by Mr. Ramos, the child was falsely arrested and accused of criminal conduct. The principal was and remains the main witness that Mr. Ramos had no business going near this child at the time of the event.

The new person in charge of Behavior Intervention, Mr. Lopez, was told he could not touch the child even in a friendly way. The father demonstrated how a simple friendly touch could result in a melt-down. Needless to say the following day the child had to be removed from school after a melt-down caused by Mr. Lopez touching the child in the exact manner he was told not to touch the child.

Then comes City Commissioner Rick Longoria who falsely accused the child of criminal conduct on campus. When asked to produce any evidence to support his claims - none. The child had a melt-down and had to be removed from school. All three of these events occurred under Springston, and at least two of the three occurred under Kathleen Jimenez. This endlees barage of false claims against the child resulted in the child being hospitalized.

I am hoping to have a complete package ready for the three lawyers I have looking at this case for suit against BISD. The TEA expressly recommended pursuing a Due Process hearing. There is not a lot for me to do, I just cannot seem to work for more than an hour a day. All I have left to do is send them the TEA complaint and findings, along with this latest statement by the pediatric psychiatrist. My personal view is I wish BISD would settle directly with the family so that 100% of the money can go for the benefit of the child, and they can move to SA immediately.

The immediate question is, will BISD comply with the pediatric psychiatrist’s recommendations or will Kathleen Jimenez continue to ignore reality and the law. If this family is forced to go to court to force compliance with the law, the damages are going to go through the ceiling.

BISD and their pathologically lying and hopelessly corrupt lawyers claim that Gonzales and Rendon were removed over their mismanagement of Special Services. This is not true and the Board’s refusal to take Springston and Jimenez to task for their mismanagement of Special Services is the proof. While I believe Gonzales and Rendon both needed to be removed because of their mismanagement of Special Services, I am not the type person who believes the ends justify the means. They were removed for political reasons and it is time we get to the truth.

PRESAS-GARCIA NEEDS TO GO NUCLEAR

I am going to do everything in my power to insure Springston is sued over Special Services before the vote to formally hire him as the new superintendent. I have no control over the process, so I can only do so much. What I can do is call for a formal Department of Education and TEA investigation of Springston. I have other things on my desk which must come first, but I hope I can have the request for an investigation complete by next week.

I know how people work. Lying is so much easier for people than the truth, and ignorance is the fertilizer which feeds far too many people’s small mindedness, especially journalists, former, journalists and far too many people who post anonymously to the blogs.

An anonymous blogger claimed that Enrique Escobedo works for Dr. Joe Jimenez, husband of Kathleen Jimenez. If I know with 100% certainty at least one thing in that statement is wrong, then I have reason to believe other parts are wrong. Escobedo is a medical doctor, Joe Jimenez is not. Under the Stark Laws, a medical doctor cannot work for a non-medical doctor. They are coworkers.

http://riomed21.com/AboutRioMed21/tabid/163/Default.aspx

If the anony poster got this wrong it would not then surprise me if they are also wrong about Kathleen Jimenez being the wife of Dr. Joe Jimenez, Dr. Escobedo’s co-worker. But if it is true, a jury is going to go psycho on BISD and Springston.

If, big if, Kathleen Jimenez got the job as a favor to Dr. Enrique Escobedo, then the appearance is, Springston is ignoring the mismanagement of Special Services in exchange for Escobedo’s support for his bid as the new superintendent. If this is what the facts show during trial, the careers of this entire lot will be lost forever. If everyone remembers Escobedo changed sides out of the blue.

Presas-Garcia needs to bring this mess out at the next Board meeting. She also needs to have her lawyers immediately sue BISD to recover her attorney’s fees. If she is on her way out then she needs to use this moment in her history to do the right thing and bring down the entire criminal enterprise known as BISD. People will always remember her as the one who brought an end to the corruption. If she uses this moment in history to use this information to her political advantage instead of exposing the corrupt underbelly of BISD, she will always be remembered as a political whore. She has one simple decision to make. Will she do the right thing or forever be known as a political whore.

As to the recommendations of the pediatric psychiatrist, it is being scanned and e-mail to the entire BISD Board.

TOMORROW: BISD NAILED, WILL THEY COMPLY OR FACE A JUDGE
AP SHOWS BIAS IN REPORTING - TWO DUI’S WHEN IT IS A REPUBLICAN IT IS NOTED, WHEN IT IS A DEMOCRAT IT IS NOT

I first saw this in the Herald. I decided to check the original AP stories and they are all the same. The AP goes out of its way to note Lugar is a Republican, but says nothing about Kerry being a Democrat. This is why the American people have lost all respect for journalists.

“McLEAN, Va. (AP) — The wife of U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., has been charged with drunken driving and hit-and-run after police said she hit a parked car in northern Virginia.”

http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/articles/run-105272-charged-sen.html

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The daughter of Sen. John Kerry has been arrested in Hollywood for allegedly driving drunk.

http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/articles/sen-105271-angeles-arrested.html
STEP TWO WITH IMAGINE BROWNSVILLE, AND WHY NEWSPAPERS ARE FAILING

This is from the Herald:

“On Nov. 5, the "Comprehensive Planning Coordination Board (CPCB) Executive Committee" met to consider and take action on a United Brownsville Memorandum of Understanding, a proclamation, and a press conference, public records show and "Imagine Brownsville" former project spokesman Brian Godinez confirmed.”

http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/public-105229-informal-elected.html

Ms. Trevino-Perez clearly had no interest in the full story. She along with her editors know that allegations of secrecy sells papers so the truth be damn. This is why a record number of journalists have lost their jobs, and newspapers have failed all over the US.

Since understanding government 101 eludes current and former journalist with the Brownsville Herald I will begin with government 101. In order to act like a governmental entity you must have governmental powers. The Comprehensive Planning Coordination Board which is a product of Imagine Brownsville has no governmental powers and never will. They have zero authority to act on the use of taxpayer dollars or in forming policy.

Whether or not they should have made a public announcement about the meeting is a separate and distinct issue from what their powers are and are not.

In simple terms they seek to act as a facilitator for policy and initiatives among the 7 entities they seek to have as members. Here is a simple example even two-bid journalists can understand. A manufacturer inquires about building a new plant in Brownsville. They can go to this organization with their needs. This Board which has representatives from all 7 entities can look at what is needed and work together as a team to make it happen.

The PUB representative can go to the PUB and in a public meeting subject to TOMA raise the needs of this prospective new employer and allow the PUB in a very public way to decide if it wants to get involved. The point being the CPCB cannot act or promise anything to anyone except that they will take it to the Board. They cannot and will not be awarding contracts. To the extent the PUB might be involved it will be for the PUB to award contracts related to their part of the plan.

Along these lines, the new employer may need a commitment from Southmost College that they will insure training is available for the new workers - for example in robotics manufacturing. Any allocation of funds by TSC would have to be done by the Board in a public meeting subject to TOMA.

Again all the CPCB will be is a facilitator with zero powers over taxpayer money. Oh yes, what about the $25,000.00 membership fee. When you consider the joint budget of the 7 entities is about billion dollars $25,000 is chump change. What will be our return on the $25,000.00 is the only question anyone should be asking.

The seven entities working together could benefit from increased bonding capacity; create better operating efficiencies by sharing on projects - it is all about saving taxpayers money; be better prepared as a group when it comes time to go to Austin or Washington for money,

“The Comprehensive Plan is a guiding instrument that is designed to historically unite our public institutions and the community to work together with a common vision and make the community of Brownsville a better place for its citizens and businesses.

In the beginning I was a supporter of Imagine Brownsville. I then joined a committee whose purpose was to decide once the project was done how the entities could best be brought together. I felt like the first meeting was really a place for the participants to just rubberstamp the desires of the leaders within Imagine Brownsville. When the second meeting was called and I received a barrage of e-mails with endless changes as to the time and place for the second meeting I walked away from Imagine Brownsville. Whether or not I am happy with how they got to this point does not matter. Simply dishing Imagine Brownsville because it had the support of Eddie Trevino is stupid and the act of incredibly small minded people who want to keep Brownsville a third world city. My focus is, what can it do now?

If for one second I thought CPCB would be some secret society running the 7 entities I would be down on it. No one and I mean no one can point to one thing in its structure which makes it secret and not accountable to the people. Every entity which participates in the process will still have to go to their public meetings under TOMA and publicly discuss and vote on the allocation of taxpayer money. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar or is opposed to this for reasons which have nothing to do with facts.

It is possible that the grant writer will be able to secure a grant which will pay every entity’s membership fees the second year and forward. It is a $25,000.00 investment for one year. If there is no return during the first year and no grant money to pay for the membership fees then we can rethink support for CPCB.

A WARNING TO CPCB

I know that only a united community can move forward. In Brownsville these small minded people who will always have scores to settle and an audience of fools to read their drivel, will always be a problem. They key is to ignore them, while making sure you are playing in the open and fair.

As one source close to the story told me, the fact that they are not subject to TOMA does not mean that once it is up and running the members cannot vote to televise the meetings and announce the meetings on the web pages of all 7 member entities. The presumption by these small minded people that because CPCB is not subject to TOMA, CPCB will not then be public is evidence of just how small minded these people are. Again these are the people keeping Brownsville down - they are to be ignored.

My final warning to CPCB is, note how failing to announce the organizational meeting got the paranoid all in a tiff, and do not make this mistake again. I do not believe anyone was hiding anything, but I know how the paranoid and naysayers work.

HOW NOT TO HIRE THOSE WHO WILL WORK FOR CPCB

We all know how it works. If the CPCB does not play this right there will be cries of cronyism. It is best that the Director be an outsider. There is no doubt in my mind there are already local insiders lobbying our elected officials as to who should run the show. If the person hired as a director is a political payoff then CPCB will only give fuel to those who want to oppose CPCB.

There must be a clear statement of credentials as to who is qualified for the job. In my view it should not be anyone local. Every local yokel is tied to the perception of public corruption. I would prefer someone with an MBA or Masters in Industrial Engineering. Someone with strong mediation skills. Someone with strong skills in bringing diverse and conflicting voices together.

Right now people with these type credentials are a dime a dozen. I am certain with a national search the CPCB will be overwhelmed with applications. This is an area wherein if the CPCB makes a misstep it will forever be tainted as another failure.

Guys as to my health - the 24 hour urine test clearly showed a problem. It is complex from there because Dr. Jan Bruder, Chair of Endocrinology of the medical school in SA mislead my GP as to the results. She actually has a pretty good pathetic excuse. Another specialist I see in Harlingen saw the discrepancy this morning and immediately notified my GP of the findings which Dr. Bruner left out of her report. Her excuse appears to be she never said the 24 hour urine tests were normal, just the blood tests.

A GREAT VIDEO PROFILING THE SUCCESS OF OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ

Apparently somethings are working and working well. Would a trench along the Rio Grande have been better than a wall?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8363899.stm
SPRINGSTON THUMBS NOSE AT DISABLED CHILD

(This is today's second post. The first for reasons I do not know is duplicated. I do not like removing my posts after making them, so the duplication will remain.)

This child about whom I speak on a regular basis left the hospital on Saturday. He has not been able to return to school. During the entire time this child was in the hospital and since leaving the hospital Springston and his marinera Kathleen Jimenez have not thought twice about checking on the child. The family has not received one phone call from BISD - nothing.

It just came to my attention that tomorrow the pediatric psychiatrist will meet with the father and child to see how the child is doing and to make a decision about school. This means another trip to SA by a family without money.

The Director over Special Services for Northside ISD met with this father. She had with her, her top staff to inform the father as to what exactly they can do to help the child. This all while the child is not even in her school district. As to Springston - nothing. This is the difference in their respective views about professionalism.

I will work as hard as I can to see that BISD is sued before Springston gets the final nod. The people of Brownsville have the right to know this Board lies. They claim to have fired Gonzales over Special Services, but then turn a blind eye to Springston's mismanagement of Special Services. God save this school district if the facts show that Jimenez remains in her job for no better reason than Springston wanted the support of Escobedo. Knowing what I know about the corrupt Escobedo, it would not surprise me.

I wish I had the time and resources for another battle, but I do not. Last night's vote smells rotten on the issue of a TOMA violation. When one looks at the history of Springston as the interim-super, it is clear at least a quorum of Board Members made this decision long before last night. This would be a TOMA violation. If a court finds such, the vote is void and they have to start again. Someone needs to take up this issue. Deals were cut, the question is what were the deals.

Question, what is it about this Anglo Springston that he thinks he is smarter than the Mexican American Gonzales? Does he really think he is smarter than the Mexican American and is going to get away with dirty politics?

I hope someone in the community will file the TOMA violation lawsuit. It will certainly end Springston's career at BISD if the truth is a TOMA violation occurred and backroom deals were cut.
