Behold!

Published by rightwingprof under Food

I started with this homemade chicken stock — note that it is not a pale, insipid, light yellow color.

There are lots of things you can do with it, but I needed to use up some tomatoes from the farmers’ market, plus some shiitakes, some Hungarian wax peppers, and green beans. So I took the two […]

Research Shows!

Published by rightwingprof under Odds 'n Ends

Studying improves student performance. So did the authors of this “study” get an NSA research grant, and if so, how much?
I’m going to need to create a new blog category for money flushed down the toilet.

Top stories: Killer babies are on the loose! and Honeymoon couple attacked by goldfish!
I bought a National Enquirer once. I couldn’t resist the headline: Killer trees stalk America! However, I never could bring myself to go through that particular cashier’s line again. But online . . .

Ya Think?

Published by rightwingprof under *

For all the whining about evil “high-stakes” testing, you’d never know that 20% of the enrolled students in DC didn’t come to school on the second day of classes. I guess they were too “disenfranchised” to be bothered.
More likely, they were out committing crimes.

You Want Depressing?

Published by rightwingprof under Odds 'n Ends

Considering that this comes from the “paper of record,” the “flagship newspaper of the nation,” this is fairly depressing (hat tip to Hot Air — I would have stumbled upon it when I hit Instapundit later, but credit where it is due):
It is an eminently good thing that the anti-suicide measure would require medical specialists […]

Stats For Teachers, Revisited

Published by rightwingprof under Math, *

I’ve reworked this to make it a bit more readable (particularly to the non-math folks), and here and there, I’ve clarified or added material. I hope it helps. I’ve also added a section for those of you who use mostly written assessments, like papers or esssay questions (yes, you can use statistics to help […]

The Grange Fair

Just got back. It’s a big — really big — county fair with a tent city. Hundreds of tents. People set up camp and live there. Here are a few pics (click to immensify):

Quotation Des Tages

Published by rightwingprof under Conservatism

From Pam:
The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post “Thou Shall Not Steal, “Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery”, and “Thou Shall Not Lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

Maybe fish and chips destroy brain cells. Or maybe it’s calling sausages “bangers.” From Gabriel comes this cluelessness from the UK:
Labour came to power in 1997 promising to tackle both crime and its causes. Since then violent crime has doubled - and last week Rhys Jones became the 18th young person this year to be […]

Giant Saves The Day

Published by rightwingprof under Food

We went to the farmers’ market this morning for more of that ay-maze-ingly good corn — I’m going to make that ay-maze-ingly good corn pudding — but you can’t just eat corn pudding. So we drove to Giant. I found really nice broccoli (I love broccoli), and we headed to the back of the store […]

Fast Eddie Thwarted Again

By gun dealers and a state representative:
More than two dozen gun dealers and a state lawmaker filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to block a planned four-day freeze on gun sales to allow an upgrade of the state’s computerized background check system.
The gun shops and Rep. Timothy Solobay, D-Washington, say the system upgrade could be completed […]

I first published this last year. Since the school year is starting, I brushed off the dust, and reposted it with a few additions. (If you know somebody who’s going off to college, you should point him to Ben Stein’s essay.)
When I was in my early grad school career back in the 80s, I was […]

I now really, really, really detest Firefox. I want to either downgrade to 1.5.x, or move to another browser, one that’s supposed to be what Firefox used to be: Fast and stable, not a CPU hog, and with no intrusive “Your files have all downloaded!” popups or automatic updates.
So far today, Firefox has frozen seven […]
