It's easy to say "it won't happen to me" but 2.2 million families fall victim of burglaries each year in the US. Don't let your home in Richland Hills become part of those statistics. Installing a new home security system and along with monitoring from ADT your home could be protected and your family safer.

By having an ADT-monitored security system installed in your home, you may be able to save on your homeowners insurance premiums. That's money back in your wallet!
24 Hours a day monitoring
ADT monitoring is a leader in monitored home security, but it also offers important services such as Emergency Alert Monitoring, Flood Monitoring, and Fire and Smoke Monitoring.
Theft Protection Guarantee
ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Texas Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Texas residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
As advancements in technology have made cameras much less expensive and easier to manage than in the past. It's easier than ever to have a home that's plugged-in against crime! You don't need to spend thousands of dollars on state-of-the-art Hollywood cameras to get video protection. There are lots of capable and affordable options available to choose from!
Some people think that alarms "don't actually help catch anyone." What they don't know is that with a fast response from law enforcement and affordable security cameras, it's far easier to catch, identify, and prosecute burglars.
Reliability Wireless doorbells
Wireless doorbells do not require new wiring for installation. Convenient battery operation includes a low-battery indicator light to make sure your doorbell always operates properly. If you prefer, choose optional low-voltage wiring to keep it on at all times with no battery replacement necessary. ADT provides same-day or next-day service installation so you can get your security components up and running quickly. Wireless doorbells also include a selection of chimes, long-distance coverage and easy integration with other home automation scene and rule configurations.

Portraits Help Children See Themselves Differently
Published on in CHOP News
Skip to content
Published on in CHOP News
November 14, 2012 — A group of artists, young people and medical experts are involved in a groundbreaking project at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia that uses the intimate process of portrait painting to help children and young people with craniofacial problems see themselves in a different light.
For 13-year-old Emily, whose life has been filled with reconstructive surgeries and long stretches away from home, it was a chance "to be me." For veteran painter Robin Frey, the program was a special chance to marry the technical aspects of her craft with a sense of spirituality.
Face to Face: The Craniofacial Program Portrait Project, is an innovative collaboration between the Craniofacial Program at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Studio Incamminati, internationally renowned portrait artist Nelson Shanks' realist art school. Face to Face is the first of its kind in the U.S. The program assesses the experiences of children and adolescents with craniofacial problems by using a novel intervention — sitting for a portrait. It also scientifically documents the impact of the psychosocial functioning of the participants.
Eight portraits of patients ranging from age 7 to 25 have been completed and plans call for Face to Face to be a continuing project. In addition to adding to the scientific body of knowledge, the paintings will be exhibited publicly in Children's Hospital Colket Translational Research Building as part of the effort to highlight the challenges and strengths associated with living with a facial disfigurement.
Linton A. Whitaker, MD, senior surgeon at Children's Hospital, professor of Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, and director of the school's Edwin and Fannie Gray Hall Center for Human Appearance; Scott P. Bartlett, MD, chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; and David B. Sarwer, PhD, associate professor of psychology in the departments of Psychology and Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, helped conceive and implement the project.
The artists are Stephen Early, Robin Dawn Frey and Kerry Dunn, instructors at Center City realist art academy Studio Incamminati, and Studio alumnus Debbie Schafer. They were chosen in 2007 after careful screening by Canice E. Crerand, PhD, former psychologist with the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at CHOP.
"This proves the transformative power of art," said Jay Pennie, executive director of Studio Incamminati. "It reminds us that, beyond our enjoyment of the finished painting, the very act of creating art can have a profound effect on those involved."
One of the artists, Steve Early added, "I wanted to put the facial differences in the context of the whole person … to catch the spirit and beauty of this child, the hope and energy in her eyes."
The project was funded by a grant from The Edwin and Fannie Gray Hall Center for Human Appearance.

Now this is a black and tan
Most people know of a black and tan as a Guinness stout blended with a Bass or some sort of lager.
For myself and my friend Brandon Carder (who provided the photos), our black and tan was a Dogfish Head World Wide Stout and 120 Minute IPA.
Known as a Heaven & Hell, I've never tried this mixture, mainly because of the cost. Each 12-ounce bottle costs about $9 to $10 each, and that's a lot of money for one drink.
But, I have been interested. I mean, who wouldn't want to try two of the strongest beers in the world (both in excess of 18 percent ABV) in one sip.
So when Brandon said he had both bottles and wanted to try them, I told him to come on over.
How did it taste, you may ask? It tasted fine, but mostly like the World Wide Stout. You barely could taste the 120 Minute IPA. We did a 50/50 blend. If I were to ever do it again, I'd probably pour 70 percent IPA and 30 percent stout.
Now I have to figure out what to do next? Maybe a black and tan made World Wide Stout and Samuel Adams Utopias? Nahhhh… I like my liver.

It is our goal to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth fully functional, and your smile bright — and we are proud of all the services we offer to do exactly that. At the same time, we want you to understand all that modern dentistry in general has to offer you. To that end, we have assembled a first-rate dental library in which you can find a wealth of information on various dental topics, including:
From a thorough professional cleaning to a full smile makeover, there is an amazing array of services that cosmetic and general dentists offer to make sure your teeth stay healthy, function well and look great. If your smile is not all you want it to be, this is the place to start. Read more about Cosmetic & General Dentistry.
When you have a dental emergency — whether it's caused by a sudden accident or chronic disease — your teeth and/or the tissues of the mouth that surround them need to receive proper care right away. It's also important to be aware, before you're actually in the situation, of what you can do to ensure the best outcome. Read more about Emergency Dental Care.
This is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the inside of the tooth — specifically the root canals and sensitive, inner pulp (nerve) tissue. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal procedure may become necessary. But contrary to the popular myth, a root canal doesn't cause pain, it relives it. Read more about Endodontics.
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that naturally deteriorates when even one tooth is lost. Read more about Implant Dentistry.
Oral health is an essential component of general health and well-being. Good oral health means a mouth that's free of disease; a bite that functions well enough for you to eat without pain and get ample nutrition; and a smile that lets you express your happiest emotions with confidence. Read more about Oral Health.
A major goal of modern dentistry is to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. By following a conscientious program of oral hygiene at home, and coming to the dental office for routine cleanings and exams, you have the best chance of making this goal a reality. Read more about Oral Hygiene.
The word "surgery" often brings to mind a stay in the hospital, general anesthesia, and perhaps a lengthy recovery period. However, the experience of having oral surgery is usually very different from that. Some common oral surgery procedures include: tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and biopsies of suspicious oral lesions. Read more about Oral Surgery.
Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter… until your new smile is unveiled, of course! Read more about Orthodontics.
It's never too early to get your child started on the path toward a lifetime of good oral health, and there are many services to do exactly that. Monitoring your child's dental growth and development, and preventing and intercepting dental diseases along the way, is the primary focus of pediatric dentistry. Read more about Pediatric Dentistry.
If you want to keep your teeth for life — a completely reasonable goal in this day and age — you need to make sure the tissues that surround them are also healthy. Should gum problems arise, you may need periodontal therapy to restore diseased tissues to health. Read more about Periodontal Therapy.
In the field of dentistry, new technology is constantly changing the way diseases are diagnosed, routine procedures are performed, and illnesses are prevented. Although they may seem unfamiliar at first, new and improved dental technologies offer plenty of real benefits for patients. Read more about Technology.
There are times when a tooth suffers damage (from decay, for example) that is too extensive to be treated with a simple filling — but not extensive enough to need a full-coverage crown. In these cases, the best option for restoring the tooth may be an inlay or onlay.
Both inlays and onlays are considered "indirect" fillings, meaning that they are fabricated outside the mouth (generally at a dental laboratory), and then bonded to the tooth by the dentist. This is in contrast to a "direct" filling, which is applied directly to the cavity by the dentist in one office visit.
An indirect filling is considered an "inlay" when it fits within the little points or "cusps" of a back (premolar or molar) tooth. It is an "onlay" if it covers one or more of these cusps. Either way, the procedure for placing an inlay or onlay is the same.
Getting an inlay or onlay is very much like what you would experience having a crown placed, with one important distinction: less of your natural tooth structure will need to be removed by drilling when you receive an inlay or onlay. When you get a crown, the tooth needs to undergo significant reshaping so that it will fit inside its new covering. Since dentistry's goal is to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, inlays and onlays may be recommended instead of crowns when a tooth can be restored with this more conservative type of treatment.
The first steps in getting an inlay or onlay are numbing the tooth and surrounding area with a local anesthetic, and then removing the decay. This is done in order to prevent the decay, which is actually a type of infection, from progressing deeper into the tooth.
Once the tooth has been prepared, an impression of it is made (either digitally or with a putty-like material) and sent to the dental laboratory. There, the impression is used to make a model of your tooth for the creation of your inlay/onlay. The final restoration can be made out of gold or a tooth-colored ceramic or resin.
Before you leave the office, a temporary filling will be attached to your tooth to protect it until the permanent restoration is ready. At your second visit, the permanent inlay/onlay will be attached to your tooth with either a resin that hardens when exposed to a special light source, or a type of permanent cement.
Inlays and onlays are strong, long-lasting, and require no greater level of care than any other tooth. Conscientious daily brushing and flossing, and regular professional cleanings at the dental office are all you need to make sure your restoration lasts for years to come.

Pesto di Limone and Pesto ai due Pomodori
To make the pesto di limone, two wide strips of lemon zest were pureed with the juice of a lemon and some olive oil. Then, I was supposed to have used Taggiasche or Gaeta olives, and had I found some green Taggiasche olives the pesto would have been nice and green. Since I used black Gaeta olives, mine was a darker color. The pitted Gaeta olives and two big cups of basil leaves were added to the blender and pureed with the first three ingredients. This resulted in an intentionally thin pesto with a fresh, lemony flavor. The pesto with two tomatoes was just as simple to prepare. First, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, and rinsed and drained salt-packed capers were pureed in the blender. Then, cherry tomatoes, and I found the prettiest dark red, almost purple cherry tomatoes, were added, and it was pureed together until smooth. That pesto was transferred to a large bowl, and grated parmigiano reggiano and chopped chives were added.
The tomato pesto required one half cup of olive oil, and I know I've used a lot more oil than that in similar quantities of pesto. Yet, the smooth texture gave it a richness that made it seem more decadent than it was. Of course, the flavor was nicely layered with fresh, juicy tomatoes and the depth of sun-dried tomatoes, and the chives lent just enough bite from the allium family. Both pestos are keepers, and I'm sure I'll think of different ways to use them each time they're made.
Pesto ai due Pomodori
from La Cucina Italiana July/August 2009
1 c drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
½ c extra-virgin olive oil
1 t salt-packed capers, rinsed, soaked in cold water for 10 minutes, then rinsed again and drained
2 c cherry tomatoes
3 T freshly grated parmigiano reggiano
1 T chopped fresh chives
-using a blender, puree sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, and capers; add cherry tomatoes and puree until smooth
-add one to two tablespoons water to help blend if needed
-transfer mixture to a bowl and add grated parmiginao reggiano and chives and stir to combine
*Note: This quantity of pesto was used to sauce one pound of spaghetti.

Excellent pestos! I definitely have to try the lemony one with olives. The pasta with sun-dried tomato pesto looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
The olives give it such a great color. Pass the veggies with that one.ReplyDelete
I love pesto too. When I was a kid, I though there was only the green pesto. The pesto sauce from La Cucina Italiana sounds nice, love the idea of having Taggiasche olives in it!ReplyDelete
This sounds like a must try! I love pesto and this with the tomatoes sounds amazing!ReplyDelete
beautiful summer meal and superb presentation!ReplyDelete
Love the idea of the basil-olive pesto. So with that many olives, though, it doesn't end up overly salty? Or is this a pesto to enjoy sparingly?ReplyDelete
This is a different pesto...looks like a must-try..ReplyDelete
Your dishes look so chic. Looks so yummy too.ReplyDelete
After reading your post, viewing the recipes and looking at the photos, I feel like I just ate at a 5-Star Italian Restaurant. These are must try pestos..and the photos are stunning and mouth watering!ReplyDelete

and i love pestos aswell!
I agree, pesto is very versatile. I love,love this version, very summery, very fresh.ReplyDelete
Thanks for share
Carolyn: Good question. I've actually shown a few extra olives in the photo, but only a quarter cup was used in the recipe. I didn't add any additional salt, and with the basil and olive oil, it wasn't too salty. I don't think I would mix that particular pesto into a pasta dish, but as a salad topping it worked great.ReplyDelete
ooooh, freshly-grated cheese, how i love the look of you. what a classy and delightful dish.ReplyDelete
I love the way you presented the zucchini and mozzarella salad. It's unique and very elegant.ReplyDelete
I love the zucchini salad - the homemade pesto sounds great too!ReplyDelete
This pasta looks excellent. Never tried to make pesto sauce. Now, I really want to make it.ReplyDelete
Fabulous! The first pesto sounds like an olive tapenade but so much tastier! I love it! And that tomato pesto is definitely a must-try. Beautiful!ReplyDelete
You made me realize just how versatile pesto really is. Thanks.ReplyDelete
That tomato pesto sounds amazing (my hubby would love the first one too, but I'm not a big olive fan)! I'm a huge pesto fan too, it comes together so quickly and is so versatile and flavorful!ReplyDelete
We love pesto and always keep some in the freezer to eat with bread. Will try your recipe on day. Tks for sharing.ReplyDelete

That pesto is a show-stopper.ReplyDelete
Love the sound of both of these pestos, and I agree with you...they're versatile, easy to make, and have such a punch of flavor. The tomato pesto looks so elegant on your pasta...wish I had that bowl in front of me right now.ReplyDelete
When I crave pasta (which admittedly is often) this is what I crave. Delicious noodles with a sauce that clings to every strand. I've never been able to recreate what I am craving but I think I just found it here. Thank you for sharing this recipe!ReplyDelete
This looks so tasty --- yum! I want some for dinner.ReplyDelete

The Louis Vuitton Icon and Iconoclasts Collection turned a lot of heads when it was announced, mostly because of the perennially bold-faced names from the worlds of fashion and design that had signed on to participate. Louis Vuitton tasked fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Louboutin, Rei Kawakubo, as well as architect Frank Gehry, photographer Cindy Sherman and industrial designer Mark Newson with creating artful fashion pieces using the brand's signature monogram print, and now we know what each of them did with the challenge.
It was rumored from the beginning that Lagerfeld, perhaps the project's most surprising participant, would make a punching bag, and not only that, but it'll come in three sizes, hang with handbag-like straps on its included stand and also function as a regular handbag. For more serious training, a full-size punching bag and storage trunk, both covered in monogram canvas, are also available for an undisclosed price. To finish out the theme, a set of boxing gloves and their weekender-like case are also part of Lagerfeld's capsule collection.
Louboutin and Sherman went in particularly colorful directions with their contributions, while Kawakubo was as weird as you'd expect her to be and Gehry was duly architectural. Newson's fleece-paneled backpacks were easily the most wearable of bags in the collection, a sensibility that should serve him well at his new employer: Apple.
Below, check out the full collection, with pricing information where available. More information about each piece is available at Louis Vuitton's website.

Florida's Longest-Serving Death Row Inmate Dies
Staff Writer
The Ledger
A man who has been on death row longer than any other inmate in Florida has died in prison.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that Gary Alvord died Sunday at the Union Correctional Institution in Raiford.
A spokeswoman confirmed the death but could not provide details, including whether Alvord's body was claimed by relatives or whether he will be buried on state grounds.
For almost 40 years, Alvord waited out a death sentence he received for the 1973 murders of three women in Tampa.
The reason he was never executed: mental illness.
The law forbids the execution of anyone with such a mental condition.

Actor compares 'Marvel's Agents' role to lottery
LOS ANGELES - A movie-size blockbuster is a rarity on the small screen, the Super Bowl aside, but "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" boasts the pedigree to make a run at it.
The drama series has the nearly prerequisite comic-book heritage and the added benefit of hitmaker Joss Whedon ("The Avengers," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") as co-creator and executive producer.
Which is why Brett Dalton considers himself a very fortunate actor to be playing Grant Ward, a combat and espionage expert serving with - take a deep breath - the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division.
"Nobody's more lucky than me to get this part, and I know that I won the Lotto on this," said Dalton, whose credits include "Army Wives" and the part of President Lincoln's son Robert in the TV movie "Killing Lincoln."
Executive producers Jed Whedon (Joss' brother) and Maurissa Tancharoen count themselves equally fortunate.
"When we saw Brett Dalton's audition we all blurted out the words, 'Cast him,' " they said in an email. "He landed the humor and emotion of a man who isn't used to playing with others with the right amount of subtlety."
"The guy also looks like a superhero, so there's that," they added of the actor with a perfect thicket of dark hair and cheekbones to die for.
"Marvel's Agents," which debuted at 7 p.m. Sept. 24, is a TV follow of sorts to "The Avengers," which already has a sequel in the works.
In the TV show, S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives lack superpowers but bravely search out threats worldwide. Its director is Phil Coulson, undeterred by dying in 2012's "The Avengers" and played again by Clark Gregg, with Ming-Na Wen, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge and Chloe Bennet also in the cast.
Dalton considers himself well steeped in the world of comic book-based films. He's partial to the tongue-in-cheek asides of Marvel properties such as Iron Man, compared to the darker tone exemplified by Batman of DC Comics.
A sense of humor is part of "Marvel's Agents" as well. "It goes with the reality of the moment but it's not afraid to give a wink now and then and not take itself seriously," Dalton said.
The genre's box-office power certainly is serious, including the more than $1 billion earned by this summer's "Iron Man 3." ABC spent a reported $12 million on the "Marvel's Agents" pilot, a bid to entice more male viewers to the female-skewing network and boost its lagging young adult audience.
It's also a nice display of corporate synergy: ABC and Marvel Entertainment both are owned by the Walt Disney Co.
Dalton said he's shrugging off talk of pressure on "Marvel's Agents" to score big.
"I'm sort of blissfully unaware of that," he said. "I see the billboards everywhere - how could you not? - and the ads, but my feet are still firmly on the ground."
His career path was set as a high school senior, when he overcame qualms about the drama club scene ("Theater people could be a little off-putting, a little weird") to try out for a production of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
"I knew in the first five minutes of auditioning that this was what I was meant to be doing for the rest of my life," Dalton said.
He earned an undergraduate degree at the University of California, Berkeley, followed by a master's degree from the Yale School of Drama. In between there were two years in New York, then two more after Yale as he attempted to put his stage training to use.
"The theater didn't decide to take a chance on me," he said, candidly. "So I'm going to go with where the 'yesses' are, and that's from TV and film."
Good writing is what counts whatever the medium, "and we have the best possible team to do that," Dalton said.
But action also matters in "Marvel's Agents," and the actor said he's thrilled to be doing most of his own stunt work.
"They just keep saying, 'Hey, can you do that?' and I keep, saying, 'Yeah,' " Dalton said. But he won't share details any examples.
"It would spoil it," he said, with discretion worthy of a superhero.

Did the judges for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for fiction assume that we all have attention deficit disorder? I've noted in recent reviews that the winner, Olive Kitteridge, and a finalist, All Souls, both consist of collections of disjointed stories. Other critics have made clear that the second finalist, Louise Erdrich's The Plague of Doves, has the same quality.
Jennifer Reese gave Erdrich's book a B- in Entertainment Weekly and said "it reads more like a collection of random episodes than a coherent novel," similar to a point I made earlier today about All Souls.
Ron Charles of the Washington Post found more to admire in The Plague of Doves. But he wrote of Erdrich:
"She's challenged us before with complex, interconnected stories about the Ojibwe people of North Dakota, but here she goes for broke, whirling out a vast, fractured narrative, teeming with characters — ancestors, cousins, friends and enemies, all separated and rejoined again and again in uncanny ways over the years. Worried about losing track, I started drawing a genealogical chart after a few chapters, but it was futile: a tangle of names and squiggling lines."
We've all seen plenty of awards lists that consist only of novels with traditional linear narratives, and it's not surprising given that linear narratives are the dominant form in fiction. But collections of disjointed, if linked, stories are far less common, and this year's Pulitzer skew is one of the oddest I've seen. It's as though all the nominees for the Oscar for best picture were noir films.

New Zealand
DESTINATIONS new-zealand
From the Bay of Islands' pristine beaches in the north to the soaring pinnacles of Milford Sound in the south, New Zealand is a stunner. Glaciated mountains, steaming volcanoes, and lush forests give adventurers a vast array of ecological playgrounds to explore. While hikers retreat to 14 national parks, bird-watchers find their bliss on peaceful Stewart Island. But it's not all parks and rec. Māori enclaves display deep native heritage, idyllic vineyards produce world-class wines, and vibrant dining and arts scenes thrive in cities like Auckland and Wellington.

Cheboygan County Fair wins awards at convention
The Cheboygan County Fair is now considered a model for other fairs across the state in several categories, after winning three awards at a recent convention.
The fair won first place in three categories, including the best newspaper ad, the best website and the best advertising novelty/ merchandising item, according to Fair Board Marketing Committee Chair Ron Williams.
Members of the fair board attended the Michigan Association of Fairs and Exhibitors on Jan. 10-12 in Grand Rapids and won the awards there. Around 80 fairs statewide participated, although for the competition fairs are placed into one of three divisions based on attendance numbers.
The Cheboygan County Fair competed in Division 1, which is for fairs that have less than 50,000 in attendance each year.
"Most Northern Michigan fairs are in Division 1; we are up against fairs in places like Petoskey and Gaylord, who tend to have deep pockets, so it's stiff competition," Williams explained. "The Cheboygan fair has never taken a first in its history. There are eight different awards for each division, so to win three of them is quite an accomplishment."
Fair Manager Dan O'Henley agreed.
"The fair board is very proud," said Fair Manager Dan O'Henley. "The awards go to show what hard work and dedication can accomplish. The fair board worked together and put their hearts and souls into every little piece of this event."
Fairs nominate themselves for the categories by sending in documentation, which is then judged by a panel of representatives from the Michigan Association of Fairs and Exhibitors. Williams said all of the fairs' submissions for each category are displayed, not just the winners, as a way to give other fairs ideas of what everybody else is doing.
Williams said the winning newspaper ad was designed with the help of the Cheboygan Daily Tribune; the winning merchandising item was a mousepad that was produced by Straits Area Printing. The mousepad was handed out to the public prior to the 2012 fair as a promotional item to draw people into attending.
O'Henley noted that other fairs throughout the state are copying the Cheboygan County Fair's website.
The fair received a plaque for each category it won, Williams added.
Members of the fair board attend the convention each year to attend educational classes and to consider adding new acts, entertainment, events and vendors.
"It serves as a way to bring vendors and decision-makers together," Williams explained.
O'Henley has served as the fair manager for 7 years and has served in different capacities on the fair board for 12 years. He added that some new events will be added to the 2013 fair, including a daily interactive show for children and a Battle of the Bands free grandstand event.

My Take: What all those Jesus jokes tell us
Editor's note: Edward J. Blum is a historian of race and religion at San Diego State University. Paul Harvey is a history professor at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and runs the blog Religion in AmericanHistory. They co-authored "The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America."
By Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey, Special to CNN
Did you ever hear the one about Jesus being Mexican? Well, he was bilingual; he was constantly harassed by the government; and his first name was Jesus.
Or, perhaps Jesus was Irish? He loved a good story; he never kept a steady job; and his last request was for a drink.
Or maybe it's possible that Jesus was Californian? He never cut his hair; he was always walking around barefoot; and he started a new religion.
You may not have heard these Jesus jokes, but you've heard others. They represent a comedic trend that has animated the United States since the 1970s. More and more comedy gimmicks hit on Jesus, his ethnicity and his relationship to politics. Laughing with (and at) the Lord is now fodder for major motion pictures, barroom comedy tours, graphic novels, t-shirts and bumper stickers.
How is it that a figure sacred to so many Americans has become the punch line of so many jokes? And why is it acceptable to poke fun at Jesus when other sacred figures are deemed off limits or there is hell to pay for mocking them?
The explanations are as numerous as the laughs.
Immigration shifts from the 1960s changed the ethnic and religious faces of the country so no tradition dominates today. The Christian right made such a moral spectacle of itself that it practically begged to be mocked. The emergence of "spiritual, but not religious" sensibilities left many Americans willing to denounce or laugh about traditional faith. The public rise of agnosticism, atheism, and secularism led to aggressive mockery as a form of persuasion.
Follow the CNN Belief Blog on Twitter
If we pause to consider why we're laughing, we find that the comic bits delve into some of our thorniest and unresolved problems. The jokes reveal much more about us than they do Jesus. They speak to how our society has changed, how it hasn't, and what we're obsessed with.
The first public jokes about Jesus were heard in the 1970s. There had been religious jokes before this, but none about Jesus had become widely popular because organized Christianity held such authority. As the economic recession and problems of urban decay collided with civil rights exhaustion and new immigration, however, some Jesus jokes emerged.
Archie Bunker on "All in the Family" was the white racist and misogynist you loved to hate and hated to love. On one occasion, his son-in-law challenged Bunker's rampant anti-Semitism with the claim, "Jesus was Jewish." Archie shot back immediately: "Only on his mother's side."
The "All in the Family" spin off "Good Times" featured a black family that lives in an inner-city housing project, probably Chicago's infamous Cabrini Green. On the show's second episode, the oldest son J. J. astounded everyone by painting Jesus as black. The younger son loves it, and says he learned all about Christ's blackness from the local Nation of Islam.
CNN's Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories
As the family debates whether this black Jesus should be hung on the wall in place of their white Jesus, they "miraculously" receive $140 from the Internal Revenue Service. Feeling blessed, the family placed the painting on its living room wall, and the elated J. J. shouted his tagline, "Dyno-mite!"
From the 1980s to the present, the number of prominent Jesus jokes has multiplied like loaves and fishes:
• In "Talladega Nights," Ricky Bobby and his family debated which Jesus to pray to ("baby Jesus in golden fleece diapers," "grown-up Jesus," "ninja Jesus"). Their overall hope is that Jesus will help them continue their extravagant lifestyle.
• "South Park" featured Jesus as a weak-kneed host of a local talk show who boxes the devil.
• "Family Guy" had Jesus perform magic tricks that wowed his ancient audience.
• "The Colbert Report" placed a gun in Christ's hand and had him defend conservatives against the liberal "War on Easter."
• "Saturday Night Live" let Jesus chastise Tim Tebow for using the Lord's name in vain and ended the bit by declaring that the Mormons have it right.
One unforgettable scene in the rather forgettable recent film "21 Jump Street" may explain why Jesus has become such a joke.
Before Jonah Hill's character returns to high school as an undercover cop, he prays to a small, crucified "Korean Jesus." Down on his knees, he says: "Hey Korean Jesus, I don't know if you only cater to Korean Christians or if you even exist, no offense. I'm just really freaked out about going back to high school. It was just so f***ing hard the first time. … I just really don't want to f*** this up. Sorry for swearing so much. The end? I don't really know how to end the prayer."
The hilarity of the moment only makes sense in our time. Hill's character is unchurched and agnostic, but wants spiritual power to guide him. We can laugh at how agnosticism and being "spiritual, but not religious," leave him uncertain of what to say, how to say it, and even how to end.
We can also laugh at how ethnic factors color his approach. By wondering if Korean Jesus cares only about Korean problems, Hill pokes fun at the issue which was made a media spectacle in 2008, when the Rev. Jeremiah Wright could be heard preaching that "Jesus was a poor black man" as part of his support for Barack Obama. What good is a God who only cares for those who look like him?
The Jesus jokes not only reveal how tangled our religious, racial, economic and political positions have become, but also how many outlets there are for the jokes. In these tense times, when presidential hopefuls point fingers at one another and families unfriend one another over political and cultural differences, laughing may be one way to talk about the problems without killing one another.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey.

Russell Freedman's books help children get excited about the lives of great men and women
By Janice Harayda
If you're looking for good biographies for 9-to-12-year-olds, I have two words for you: Russell Freedman.
Many authors have written captivating nonfiction for preteens, including the prolific and much-admired James Cross Giblin, who won the Washington Post-Children's Book Guild Award for his body of work. But Freedman's work is the gold standard for the sort of book known as the "photobiography," a heavily illustrated book that takes a documentary approach to history. Along with other books, photobiographies can help 9-to-12-year-olds make the transition from simple chapter books to more complex works that may or may not have pictures.
Freedman is best known for his elegant Newbery Medal–winning Lincoln: A Photobiography (Clarion, 1987). But he has also written many other acclaimed biographies for 9-to-12-year-olds, including Eleanor Roosevelt: A Life of Discovery (Clarion, 1987), Martha Graham: A Dancer's Life (Clarion, 1998), Babe Didrikson Zaharias: The Making of a Champion (Clarion, 1999), and The Voice That Challenged: Marian Anderson and the Struggle for Equal Rights (Clarion, 2006). Freedman's books tend to be as beautifully designed as they are well-written, so they make wonderful birthday and holiday gifts.

There were several patrons of the Fish House that got their money's worth - I could look around and tell. My family on the other hand, helped Cuevas's profit margin that night. First off, my dad is the world's lightest eater and half of our party was under the age of 5 - they weren't pounding too many slabs of catfish if you know what I mean. Secondly, we ordered appetizers - you never order appetizers at an all you can eat experience. It is like eating rice at a buffet, it is a filler that should be avoided in order to save room for the good stuff. But, when one of the appetizers offered is fried pickles, how can you refuse? Well folks, we didn't. And when I got home I told Forrest (who wasn't with me on my last visit) about the great food in MS and he asked that I make fried pickles at home. So I did...
**Editor's Notes:
Cuevas's Fish House is in Picayune, MS - NOT Kiln. (Thank you, Laurin) Brett Favre is Kiln's claim to fame - NOT fried fish. (Thank you, Laurin and Jesstyler)
Fried Pickles
- Dill Pickle Chips
- 3/4 to 1 cup of beer
- 2 eggs
- 1 -2 cups of flour
- Cholesterol free oil
Pour oil in a large skillet until the oil is about 1-2 inches up the side of the pan. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
Strain pickles in a small colander.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the yolks and 3/4 cup of the beer. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Whisk in enough flour to form a batter. If the batter is too thick add the remaining beer to thin the batter.
Dip pickles one at a time using tongs into the batter and then place in the heated oil.
Fry pickles for about 2 minutes flipping the pickle after about 1 minute.
Place pickles on a plate lined with paper towel and then season with salt. Serve with Ranch Dressing.

Why have so many suicide bombers been willing to sacrifice their lives in the Middle East and elsewhere? Similar questions were raised about Japanese kamikaze pilots who crashed their planes into American aircraft carriers and other ships in the last months of World War II. Max Hastings, the British journalist, notes his new Retribution: The Battle for Japan, 1944–45 (Knopf, $35) that the attacks began when traditional Japanese air forces were being overwhelmed by the Americans:
"Suicide attack offered a prospect of redressing the balance of forces, circumventing the fact that Japanese pilots were no longer capable of challenging their American counterparts on conventional terms. Instead, their astonishing willingness for self-sacrifice might be exploited. Here was a concept which struck a chord in the Japanese psyche, and caught the Imperial Navy's mood of the moment. Officers cherished a saying: 'When a commander is uncertain whether to steer to port or starboard, he should steer towards death.' An alternative aphorism held that 'One should take care to make one's own dying as meaningful as possible.' The suicide concept appeared to satisfy both requirements."
Hastings adds that one kamikaze pilot had married just three months earlier. Before leaving on his final mission, instead of saying that he was sacrificing himself for his country, he told reporters he was doing it for his beloved wife:
"To a Western mind, self-immolation in such circumstances is incomprehensible. To some Japanese of the time, however, it seemed intensely romantic."

Mark L. Hopkins: The Supreme Court takes a swipe at 'Obamacare'
The headlines say that the Supreme Court dealt a blow to "Obamacare." Maybe, and maybe not. What their recent ruling did was to cast a shadow over the approach our country has taken to providing health care to our people. In short, Hobby Lobby should never have been put in the position they were, where they might have been forced to provide coverage that their leadership disagreed with on religious grounds. The Supreme Court ruling highlights the illogic of using employer-sponsored health insurance as the primary facilitator for health coverage in the United States.
One thing is for sure with this latest ruling, the Supreme Court has not denied anyone access to contraception. Women who work at Hobby Lobby can still purchase birth control at the corner drug store. The issue being debated, as is so often the case, is cost. It isn't free. An interesting irony is that for Hobby Lobby employees, Viagra is available to men free of cost while contraception for women is not.
I should pause for a moment and point out that Obamacare is not universal health care as some have inferred. It is, instead, a re-regulation of the insurance industry that coerces everyone into coverage and restricts insurance companies from refusing coverage to those with prior conditions who, obviously, need the coverage most.
In the Hobby Lobby ruling, the major issue we should be concerned with is the dependence we have on workplace health insurance. We are the only major industrial nation that uses the workplace as the primary health insurance provider. It is a practice that began following World War II when salaries were frozen to help control inflation. Business and Industry used fringe benefits like insurance and retirement funds to attract employees. That practice gives the employer control over the insurance coverage their employees will have as opposed to the individual having control. It also means that when the employee leaves that job they leave their coverage behind. Both of these issues are major problems for a portion of our workforce. Some insurance "experts" have pointed to workplace insurance coverage as running up the cost and still providing inferior coverage. In addition, this approach puts our businesses at a major disadvantage when attempting to compete in the international marketplace versus companies from other countries. Our international competition does not have to inflate the cost of their products in order to provide health coverage to their employees.
The Supreme Court ruling regarding this aspect of Obamacare is a good thing if it makes us take another look at the broader issue of who should provide health coverage for our people in the United States.

Northport exploring city school system
Council considering study on feasibility of leaving county system
NORTHPORT | The City of Northport wants to take over the schools within its city limits and create its own Northport City School System.
If the move comes to fruition, the number of schools in the Tuscaloosa County School system could shrink by a third.
James Barnett, a member of the county school board, said the idea wasn't new and that Northport was part of a good system already.
"If they feel they can do a better job, more power to them," Barnett said. "They would be better getting behind the schools they've got and giving more support."
The Northport City Council discussed the idea during a work session Thursday night, surprising some council members. However, each said they were supportive and wanted to move forward with a feasibility study to see what the financial impact would be to create a city system.
City Administrator Scott Collins told the council the bottom line is that the city of Northport has no control over the schools in its city limits, and in order to grow and attract new businesses, industry and residents, the city needs to be able to offer the best.
"If we are going to be the finest-run city in the state, then we need to take every opportunity to offer the best quality of life for our citizens ...," Collins told the council. "Economics follow school districts."
Since the Tuscaloosa County Commission passed the one-cent sales tax for education in 2005, Northport has been paying taxes for the construction of new schools in other areas, while still paying for the construction of Tuscaloosa County High, Collins said.
When TCHS was built in 1997, there was no one-cent sales tax for school infrastructure, so the city of Northport dedicated $5 million — $250,000 a year for 20 years — to help pay for the school, he said.
Ultimately, Northport needs to be able to have control to ensure that the city's children are getting the best education possible, he said.
"We need to be either satisfied with where we are, or take steps to be where we want to be," Collins said. "We need to take a serious look at the feasibility of creating a Northport city school system and use that as part of the comprehensive plan."
Of the 33 schools in the Tuscaloosa County School system, these are in Northport: Collins-Riverside Middle, Crestmont Elementary, , Echols Middle, Faucett-Vestavia Elementary, Flatwoods Elementary, Huntington Place Elementary, Matthews Elementary, Sprayberry Educational Center, Tuscaloosa County High School and Northport Elementary.
Three more county schools, Walker Elementary, Northside Middle and Northside High School, are just north of Northport.
County school board member Gary Bonner said a city system had never materialized because Northport couldn't handle the tax burden required to fund it.
"Northport will do what Northport wants, but the Northport schools are in a pretty good school system, and it would be a big undertaking," Bonner said.
County board member Gary Mims agreed.
"We have a good school system and are working extremely hard to focus on the needs of our kids," he said.
Northport Mayor Bobby Herndon said the county system has educated the children of Northport for generations and done a great job, but that it was time for Northport to take control of its schools.
"We need a separate identity," Herndon said, referring to how the city has become financially solvent and turned itself around in the last five years. Moving forward with its own city school system would be the next logical step, he suggested.
While the idea has been brought up before by Northport residents, it's the first time that it has been discussed by the council, Councilman Steve Acker said. He suggested that the council do some research and pursue the idea of a Northport City School District.
Councilwoman Judy Hayes said she was supportive of improving the schools, especially if it also meant improving neighborhoods in her district, but she said she did not want it to result in any new taxes.
The City Council is likely to move forward with the feasibility study before making a decision.

- When multiple necklaces are being worn, separate each chain a few times throughout the day, this will keep them from tangling.
- Remove your jewellery when exercising, cleaning, gardening, or any other physical work.
- Try to keep your jewellery away from any harsh cosmetics. This will cause for gold plating to erode, silver to tarnish and damage gemstones such as pearls at a much faster rate. These include; perfumes, soaps, lotions, and creams.
- Take rings off when washing your hands and showering, and applying perfume and lotions before you put on your jewellery.
- Every person's skin type is different, and so this can also effect your jewellery life. The acid in our skin can speed up the tarnishing process and damage gemstones such as pearls, but this will differ from person to person.

Scars from Hurricane Katrina harder to see as Super Bowl looms
New Orleans has celebrated plenty of milestones on its slow road to recovery from Hurricane Katrina, but arguably none is bigger than hosting its first Super Bowl since the 2005 storm left the city in shambles.
To see the remnants of Katrina's destruction, fans coming to town for Sunday's game will have to stray from the French Quarter and the downtown corridor where the Superdome is located. Even in the neighborhoods that bore the brunt of the storm, many of the most glaring scars have faded over time.
Billions of dollars in federal money has paid for repairing and replacing tens of thousands of homes wrecked by flooding. Gone are the ubiquitous FEMA trailers that once dotted the landscape. Levees that broke and flooded 80 percent of the city have been fortified with the intent of protecting the city from another epic hurricane.
The city's lifeblood tourism trade has thrived despite the double-barrel blow of Katrina and BP's massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Seafood is plentiful as the harvest rebounds from effects of the oil spill.
Crowds at Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras, two of the city's signature events, have at least matched pre-storm levels. Lured by tax credits, filmmakers have flocked here in droves. And the hospitality industry has been an economic engine for the city, which has more restaurants now than it did when the storm made landfall.
"The restaurants opened lickety split, as fast as they could," said Tom Fitzmorris, publisher of The New Orleans Menu. "Everybody is doing well. We have very few closings. I don't know anybody who is complaining."
Sunday's Super Bowl is the city's first since 2002, but New Orleans already has hosted a BCS national championship game, a men's Final Four and other major sports and entertainment events in the past 18 months alone.
"That is an extraordinary run of events for a city that seven years ago was 15 feet under water and the last on every list in America that mattered," Mayor Mitch Landrieu said last week. "Now we find ourselves in a city that's on the world stage."
Yet, as far as the city has come, decades-old problems persist. New Orleans remains plagued by violent crime, political corruption, a troubled police department and poverty.
Crime rates briefly dipped after Katrina scattered residents all over the country but quickly soared again as people returned home. Landrieu has made crime reduction one of his top priorities, but the murder rate has remained stubbornly high since he took office in 2010.
After the storm, federal authorities launched a sweeping effort to clean up the police department. Several investigations yielded charges against 20 current or former officers, many of whom were linked to deadly shootings in Katrina's chaotic aftermath. The Justice Department also has negotiated ambitious plans to reform the police force and improve conditions at the city's jail.
Separate probes of City Hall corruption revealed that some officials enriched themselves while New Orleans struggled to rebound from the storm. The latest and most prominent target so far is former Mayor Ray Nagin, who was indicted earlier this month on charges he accepted bribes and payoffs in exchange for steering work to city contractors.
For the city's poorest residents, life hasn't gotten any easier since Katrina. Housing costs have skyrocketed while the region's unemployment rate has risen along with the rest of the country. A months-long moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf after the BP spill didn't help matters, either.
"A fresh coat of paint hasn't and won't drive away the poverty that has existed in our community," said Davida Finger, a Loyola University law professor who has helped low-income residents with Katrina-related housing problems. "It didn't go away with the storm, and it can't go away overnight."
Although the population hasn't returned to its pre-Katrina levels, New Orleans is one of the nation's fastest growing large cities. The population dropped from more than 484,000 in 2000 to an estimated 208,000 a year after Katrina before rising to an estimated 360,000 as of July 2011, according to census figures cited by the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center.
Allison Plyer, the center's deputy director and chief demographer, said Katrina gave the city a chance to fix problems that have spanned generations. For instance, notoriously dysfunctional public schools were replaced with privately run charter schools that have been credited with making slow but measurable improvements in student performance.
"Katrina and the levee failures caused a break in the status quo that sparked extensive citizen engagement and intensive reforms," Plyer said. "For some, there has been a vast improvement. For others, things have gotten substantially worse."
Few residents are dwelling on the negative, however, as they prepare for the big game, the legions of celebrities it will bring and the annual Carnival parades that culminate with Mardi Gras on Feb. 12.
The matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens will be the seventh Super Bowl at the Superdome and 10th overall in New Orleans since the NFL awarded the city a franchise in 1966. The dome became a symbol of suffering after thousands of residents were stranded there for days without food or water in Katrina's aftermath. Hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations helped make the Saints' home a suitable Super Bowl venue again.
Marisol Canedo, whose love for New Orleans inspired her to rebuild after her family's home was inundated by 11 feet of water, said the Super Bowl's return shows the world that New Orleans is "open for business." But that doesn't mean the city is close to completely recovering, she cautions.
"It's a struggle to get where we were," she said. "Everything is not up and running. Everything is not back to what it was pre-Katrina."
