gee, you learn something every day. Shepherd's pie was a staple, but i had
never heard the term cottage pie before. Dictionary says it's a Shepherd's
pie made w/ beef, which means that's actually what we ate cuz lamb was
nonexistent in those days and mutton was unpalatable.

All very true. But we don't have the death penalty, we don't have as 
many fat people (percentage wise of course, because we don't have as 
many people), we don't eat grits (we put that on the road when it 
snows), if someone's injured in a road accident the paramedics ask for 
their name not if they have insurance and we have a prime minister who 
can speak in sentences, knows where other places are and didn't buy his 
university degree. (not that he's any bloody good at anything other 
than being George Bush's poodle)
Oh yes, and the party that wins most seats in Parliament gets the 
chance to form a government. As I understand it in the US you get your

They are both the same story. The owner should be convicted of murder,

Nothing beats a good Southern meal.  Of course if it's not mama who is
doing the cooking, you have to be careful about your choice of restaurants.
Many establishments are phony in this regard.   The best cooking will often
come from those places where there are bunch of little old ladies in the
kitchen.

Grits and breakfast are just the tip of the iceberg.  Cooked turnip (or
collard) greens, red beans, fried okra, cornbread, and the appropriate
condiments are heavenly.  The condiments are most crucial:  hot pepper sauce
for the greens, tabasco sauce for the beans, and butter for the cornbread.
Of course many people like to just throw the cornbread right into the bowl
of greens in order to sop up the juices.  And of course, you wash this
down with a big glass of iced tea.

We had an unfortunate incident involving runners and dogs over the weekend here in 
Chicago.

THE NEWS:
Dan Ryan Woods on the Southwest Side continued to be closed Wednesday

and
mauling of another.  Anna Cieslewicz, 48, of Evergreen Park, was mauled
to
death by a stray dog or dogs.  Mary Murphy Smith, 46, of Chicago survived
the attack.  Officials killed two dogs after the attacks occurred on
Sunday.
A prayer service for Cieslewicz will be at 9:45 a.m. Thursday at Kenny

3rd dog sought in attack on joggers over weekend
Dan Ryan Woods to remain closed

By Amy E. Nevala, Tribune staff reporter. Tribune staff reporter Matt Walberg 
contributed to this
report
Published January 15, 2003

The Dan Ryan Woods will remain closed Wednesday as city and county
animal control units and Cook Country Forest Preserve police look for a third dog they 
believe may
have been involved this week in the death of one female jogger and the mauling of a 
second.

The injured jogger, Mary Murphy Smith, 46, of the 8900 block of South Hamilton Avenue, 
continued her
stay in the intensive care unit Tuesday at Little Company of Mary Hospital in 
Evergreen Park, a
spokeswoman said.

An autopsy on the second woman, Anna Cieslewicz, 48, of the 9600 block of South Troy 
Avenue,
Evergreen Park, showed she died of multiple injuries, said a spokesman from the Cook 
County medical
examiner's office. She had bite marks all over her body, he said.

Officials with Cook County animal control said they  were looking for a third dog 
after a
63-year-old Chicago man said he had been feeding at least three stray dogs in the 
area, two of which
matched the description of dogs shot Sunday after the attacks.

 Animal control officers surveyed the approximately 200-acre woods on the Far South 
Side Tuesday,
capturing an adult female pit bull and a 2-month-old pit-bull mix. Both were impounded 
at Chicago
Animal Care and Control, said the organization's executive director, Nikki Proutsos.

It had not been determined whether the adult female captured was the third dog 
involved in the
attack, said Cook County animal control spokeswoman Caryn Stancik.

The two dogs shot Sunday when they threatened police officers investigating the 
attacks appeared to
be healthy, well-maintained dogs, said Dr. Dan Parmer, head of Cook County animal 
control.

These are not wild animals. Someone has been caring for these dogs, he said. We've 
got some
irresponsible owners on our hands who let these dogs get out.

Dr. Dan Parmer, head of Cook County animal control, said it will take at least a week 
for the
completion of DNA testing to determine whether the two dogs killed were involved in 
the attack on
the women. Rabies
tests are expected to be complete by Friday, Stancik said.

Smith works as a nurse midwife at Illinois Masonic Medical Center, a spokeswoman at 
the hospital
said.

A neighbor visiting Smith's home who declined to be identified Tuesday said Smith ran 
about 6 miles
daily and has completed at least one marathon.
