I find the concept of collecting retirement and at the same time collecting a pay check from the same entity a bit disconcerting. Is that was is going on with Superintendent Larry Powell and his voluntary pay cut? While I really like him and think that what he is doing is nice, is it all people are thinking? Do people realize he might be getting retirement at the same time?
I just want to declare my motivation for this post. 1)I think Larry is a good guy but I thought there should be full disclosure if he was also collecting retirement just to properly frame everything.  2) I just don’t like this loop hole! Not everyone is doing it for such noble reasons and that costs us all lots of money.
Update: Brad saw an interview on FOX where Larry Powell said he was going to donate his salary to charity! Good for him!

Welcome to the 1st edition of my new weekly food links! There is so much more to food than just recipes and once a week I am planning on sharing with you all!
The Science Creative Quarterly is a brand new find for me. They have a great interaction between a 3 year old and her Chemistry professor father. The why question and answer session may have gone a little deep but I would be lying to say similar things haven’t happened over here;).
Ok, so I have had it with the term breeders. Someone can be a shmuck without blaming the fact they had kids. Dollars to donuts they would still be jerks with out kids! Or are people just jealous. Any way! Here are some of my other thoughts.
(PS, don’t pick on my camera angle. I should get my tripod next week.;)
