Another three bantamweights have been added to the UFC's roster with the signing of former TUF 18 fighter Chris Beal, facing off against fellow newcomer Patrick Williams at UFC 172, and Matt Hobar filling in for Wilson Reis against Pedro Munhoz at the TUF Brazil 3 finale.
The UFC's slow and steady progress toward market domination continues with the signing of another three bantamweight fighters. All three were added to the UFC roster and upcoming fight cards on April 14th. Former TUF 18 contestand Chris Beal will make his debut at UFC 172 against another newcomer in Patrick Williams. Following shortly on their heels will be Legacy FC champion Matt Hobar, who will step in for the injured Wilson Reis against Pedro Munhoz at the TUF Brazil 3 Finale. All matches have been made official by the UFC.Who is Chris Beal?
28-year old Chris Beal fights out of the Knuckleheadz Boxing Gym, known for producing some solid boxing talent, as well as being the home of former TUF winner Tony Ferguson. It's not a consistent producer of great MMA fighters, but it's more solid than some of the really small camps fighters come out of. As for record, Beal is undefeated at 8-0, but has really only beat middling journeymen and inexperienced, or really terrible opponents. Considering his level of competition, the fact that he has a pretty poor finishing rate is not a good sign.Who is Patrick Williams?
A former Division I wrestler for Arizona State University, Williams was part of the class of ASU wrestlers who've moved on to successful MMA careers. His path to the UFC has taken a little longer than the likes of Cain Velasquez, Ryan Bader, or C.B. Dollaway, and he started his MMA career much later (debuting in 2010) but with a 7-3 record he's found some reasonable success. A win over WEC vet Rafael Dias is his biggest to date, although each of his three losses have come to decent regional competition. The rest of his wins are without note. He trains out of Freestyle Fighting Academy in Miami, the website for which appears to be little more than a sales advert.Who is Matt Hobar?
In the other major bantamweight signing news, the UFC has signed Legacy FC 135 lb champ Matt Hobar. Hobar, 27, fights out of Octagon MMA, a camp he shares with UFC welterweight Sean Spencer. He'll be entering the UFC with a solid 8-1 record, having avenged his only loss (due to injury) against Steven Peterson. He doesn't have any big names on his record, but as of late has been fighting other decent regional talent at Legacy FC. His martial arts background is largely in wrestling, where he was a fairly successful in high school, but doesn't appear to have pursued it past that point.

Doctrine and Life
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 19, 2010 Category: ArticlesThis past Sunday I was blessed with the opportunity to preach, this time at Reformation Orthodox Presbyterian Church near Denver. The pastor there is my friend and co-laborer and Highland Fellow Kevin Swanson. I preached what has become of late what I call my "traveling sermon," that sermon that I give when I visit sundry pulpits around the country. My text is John 13: 1-17, where Jesus washes the feet of the disciples. I suggest in that sermon that, strangely, we who are Reformed, are often proud of ourselves for being Reformed. I argue that we would likely have joined Jesus in washing the disciples' feet, missing the point that our own feet are filthy. We confuse believing in the doctrine of total depravity with having a deep sense of our own sin. One is affirming a doctrine, the other a more existential awareness of our own condition. Keep Reading
Participating in the Census
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 16, 2010 Category: ArticlesShould Christians participate in the Census? If so, should we answer all the questions or, as according to the Constitution, just tell the number of people in our household?
Several years ago I wrote a short piece encouraging Christians, when faced with an intrusive state, to not so much push back, as remain firm. One could argue that just as Paul insisted that he receive his rights as a citizen of Rome, that we ought to insist on our rights. One could, on the other hand, argue that when Jesus calls us to go the second mile, this is precisely the kind of thing He had in mind, that even if the state has no Constitutional warrant to ask us anything beyond the number of people in our home, we ought to humbly and meekly comply.

10 Important Things To Ask a Potential Pastor
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 07, 2010 Category: ArticlesWhen interviewing a potential pastor, what are the ten most important questions that you would ask? I suspect that in most churches the gap between the actual questions and the best questions would go a long way to explain the particular weakness of the particular church. The questions we ask reveal our hearts just as much as the answers reveal the heart of the potential pastor. Here, I believe, is what I would want to ask. Keep Reading
What Is the Goal of Becoming a Christian?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 18, 2010 Category: ArticlesIt is my contention that we spend far too little time thinking through issues of teleology, the study of end or purpose or design. We prefer to leave these questions unexamined, and thus move through our lives less than deliberately. That said, this question comes with at least a potential danger, turning the Christian faith at best, and God at worst into a means to an end. Marva Dawn wisely described worship as a "royal waste of time." It is royal because we are praising the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. It is a "waste of time" because such worship serves no other end, but is the ultimate end of all things. Keep Reading
Two Birds, One Stone
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 10, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineWhen error comes into the church we face a set of obligations. First, we must confront the error. The world has embraced a live-and-let-live relativism that will accept any foolishness, but will not accept the wisdom of calling foolishness by its name. Too often the church follows suit. We want to get along, and so pet the wolves in our midst rather than drive them away. Our calling, as faithful soldiers of the kingdom, is to combat error in whatever form it takes. Second, we must not err when confronting the error. If we would have sound and accurate thinking in the church, we must be sound and accurate in what we denounce. Keep Reading
How and When Did You "Get Saved?"
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 27, 2010 Category: ArticlesHow/when did you "get saved?" Or when did God sovereignly grant you the faith to repent and believe?
I don't know. I certainly had any number of conversion experiences in my life, the latest of which took place when I was in high school. The first I remember was while saying prayers before bed with my mother when I was still in grade school. Another was a typical experience at church camp. The last I was alone, listening to Bob Dylan's record "Saved" when I asked God to cover my sins in the blood of the Lamb. I have been tempted over the years, however, when asked to give my testimony, to say something like this, "I was baptized as a child, and have been improving on that baptism, more or less, ever since." I do not, of course, believe that God necessarily gave me the gift of saving faith at the time of my baptism. The Westminster Confession affirms wisely that the efficacy of baptism is not tied to the moment of time wherein it is administered (chapter 28, section six) and I concur with it. I don't believe in baptismal regeneration. Keep Reading
Be Still (and know that you're loved)
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 21, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThe children of God are rather different from the children of men. We have been reborn by a sovereign God. They have not. We have been redeemed by a sovereign God. They have not. We are being remade by a sovereign God. They are not. Despite these things that distinguish us, that set us apart, there are yet ways where we are very much like those outside the kingdom. We, both inside and outside the kingdom, have drunk deeply of the modernist conceit that we are defined by what we know. Thus, we think the difference between us and them, between sheep and goats, is a matter of knowledge. We are those who have been blessed to have the truth revealed to us. Once those outside the kingdom have the truth revealed to them, we seem to think, they will become just like us. Keep Reading
Last Things First
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 23, 2009 Category: Tabletalk MagazineLast things last, that's what I used to say. It seemed to me that there were plenty of difficult theological issues for us to wade through without having to worry about the end times. We all agree, after all, that in the end our side wins. Whether Jesus comes to find His world a horrible cesspool that needs to be cleaned up, or to find a glorious reflection of His successful bride, or somewhere in the middle, He does come back and make all things right. I was indifferent about how He would return. But two things kept nagging at me. The Bible talks about the return of Christ. It talks about the full consummation of history. And one thing I didn't want to happen when Jesus comes back was this — to have Him be displeased with me because I tossed aside a portion of His Word cavalierly, indeed, if I tossed a part aside at all. The second problem was this, a fundamental principle of progress. One cannot know which way to go unless one knows where one is supposed to go. If you're going nowhere, any direction will do. But if you want to get somewhere, you have to know where. Keep Reading
Repent, For the Kingdom of God
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 04, 2009 Category: ArticlesHow quick are you to repent? If you're anything like me, you've just this moment added several more things to repent of. First, pride. I suspect that you, if you are like me, think yourself a pretty decent repenter. You likely wish that others would learn from your wonderful example, and do likewise. Indeed, now that I mention it, you can think of several people that owe you an apology, and aren't you the one for being so gracious about it up until now? Keep Reading
Intelligent Design?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Nov 16, 2009 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThe culture wars are heating up again. Such, I suppose, ought not to surprise me. Evangelical professor of sociology James Davidson Hunter published his book Culture Wars in 1992. Therein he argued that the real dividing line in modern culture was not between right wing and left wing, not between Christians and non-Christians, but between the orthodox and the progressives Keep Reading

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) charged operators of the tour boat "Sea Screamer" with two counts of illegal dolphin feeding in July 2011 and August 2012, resulting in a $10,000 fine.
"We are disputing these claims," said Capt. Andy Redmond, the owner of the Sea Screamer. "We do not feed dolphins aboard the Sea Screamer."
"All we do is observe dolphins," he added. "We do not feed dolphins."
Also charged were AAA Jet Ski Rentals and
"We work very closely with the (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission), and these cases were a result of a planned working group," said Jeff Dadonski, the acting deputy special agent in charge at NOAA's office of law enforcement. "All of the cases were witnessed by law enforcement or other components."
Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, it is illegal to feed, touch or pursue wild dolphins, and
The incidents happened a year or two ago, but officials said it is not unusual to take that long to conclude an investigation and file federal charges.
NOAA Fisheries bottlenose dolphin conservation coordinator Stacy Horstman said the area's large commercial and recreational boating fleet coupled with a growing tourism industry presents a unique challenge when it comes to preventing dolphin interaction.
In an attempt to counteract the negative effects of dolphin interaction, NOAA has headed outreach programs in
Horstman said outreach focuses primarily on educating the public through brochures, posted signs, workshops, billboards and on-air public service announcements. This season, the agency also has begun utilizing banner plane flyovers as a means to communicate the message.
Despite two decades of effort, Horstman said the huge influx of commercial businesses and tourism in a small geographic area has smothered any progress.
"There was a time when we were seeing improvements, but unfortunately in the last few years it's just as bad as it's ever been," Horstman said. "We really need everybody's help to keep the people and the dolphins safe."
However, local tour businesses Osprey Charters and St. Andrew Bay Ferry have made an effort to adhere to the initiatives set forth in NOAA's Dolphin SMART partnership, even though the program has not yet been implemented in the area.
"You can safely and responsibly view dolphin from a vessel," Horstman said. "We know it can happen, but there are a lot of commercial and recreational boaters in the area and it's going to take everybody to really help us solve this problem."

Evolution, Atonement, and the Redemption of All Creation (Part 1)
The point is that the 'Fall' reaches backward into the evolutionary history of the world, as well as pointing forward as a shadow on human history.

The point is that the 'Fall' reaches backward into the evolutionary history of the world, as well as pointing forward as a shadow on human history.
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
When non-believers in France or in Spain read what young-earth creationists are writing about evolution, geology, or astrophysics, they frequently conclude that the Bible is at best an interesting fairy tale.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
At BioLogos, we believe that a serious and faithful reading of Scripture doesn't call for a recent origin to the earth, and we are persuaded that God has shown us through the natural world he created that his creative work began much earlier.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.

Small gear changes contribute in a big way when it comes to the maximization of a race car's quarter-mile capabilities, and the proper choice determines the quickest elapsed times. The test mule for our gear change swap is an NHRA Stock Eliminator '70 Nova powered by a steel-headed 402ci big-block. Last year, the car made the switch from a 350 ci small-block pumping out approximately 400 hp that could get down the 1,320 in approximately 10.8 seconds to the big block, which should be good enough for 9-second passes at its lightest weight.
Once owner Robert Twynam worked out all the bugs, he got the car down the track in B/Stock trim with some 10.20-second passes, good enough to place him near the top of the qualifying sheet. The problem that had become more and more evident was the over-revving of the big block with stamped steel rocker arms to 8,000-plus rpm, which led to audible valve float for the last hundred feet.
To make it in Stock Eliminator, the cars must be wrung out to the absolute max and this means pushing the factory parts to the limit and (sometimes) beyond. Rules stipulate the use of stamped steel rocker arms, a GM 12-bolt rear end, and a four-speed transmission (most competitors use either a Jerico or G-Force manual trans).
Making a rear gear change affects performance for the entire length of the quarter-mile and it doesn't matter if you are talking about a full-bore racer or a Saturday night cruiser. The trick to being successful is melding the first 60 feet with the 330 feet, followed by the eighth mile, and ultimately, the quarter.
Using 30-inch diameter radial drag slicks and trapping 126 mph, a change from 5.38 gears to 5.13s should drop trap rpm approximately 250, eliminating the valve float, and allowing the engine to work at maximum capacity.
We contacted Mark Williams Enterprises, which spec'ed out a 5.13 ring and pinion. It is lightened and polished for the strength and speed. Removing the spinning weight of the drivetrain is especially effective as you are not only lightening the automobile, but you are adding horsepower at the rear tires via a lower coefficient of drag from the flywheel to the wheels. With the 5.13s installed, Bob saw a three full mph improvement in trap speed (to 130.97), eliminated valve float and dropped 0.08 from his best e.t.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The hostilities between Israel and Hamas have found a new battleground: social media.
The Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas militants have exchanged fiery tweets throughout the fighting in a separate war to influence public opinion.
JERUSALEM (AP) — The hostilities between Israel and Hamas have found a new battleground: social media.
The Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas militants have exchanged fiery tweets throughout the fighting in a separate war to influence public opinion.
Shortly after it launched its campaign Wednesday by killing Hamas' top military commander Ahmed Jabari, the Israeli military's media office announced a "widespread campaign on terror sites & operatives in the (hash)Gaza Strip" on its Twitter account.
It then posted a 10-second black-and-white video of the airstrike on its official YouTube page. Google Inc., which owns YouTube, removed the video for a time early Thursday, but reconsidered and restored it.
A tweet from (at)idfspokesperson said: "We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead."
Hamas, under its (at)AlQassamBrigade English-language account, which is largely considered to be the official Twitter account for its military wing, fired back: "Our blessed hands will reach your leaders and soldiers wherever they are (You Opened Hell Gates on Yourselves)."
The Israeli military's media office Twitter account, which gained more than 50,000 followers in just 24 hours, is just one of various online platforms used to relay real-time information to the public, sometimes even before it is conveyed to reporters.
The IDF news desk's email signature reads like a catalog for new media platforms, including links to its YouTube channel, Facebook page and Flickr photo albums. The military also just opened a Tumblr account in English and plans to launch one in Spanish.
Following the assassination, the military tweeted a graphically designed photograph of Jabari, with a red backdrop and capitalized block letters reading "ELIMINATED," drawing both celebration and fierce criticism from a range of users. Throughout the operation, the military and its supporters have tweeted with the hashtag "IsraelUnderFire," while many Palestinians have tweeted with a separate hashtag "GazaUnderAttack."
The operation, launched after days of rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel, marks the most intense round of violence since Israel and Hamas waged a three-week war four years ago.
Palestinian militants fired more rockets into Israel on Thursday, killing three people and striking the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Israeli strikes have killed 15 Palestinians.
Military spokeswoman Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich said that in the four years since Israel and Hamas last dueled, an "additional war zone" developed on the internet.
"I'm sort of addicted to Twitter, you can say. It's a great tool to release information without the touch of editors' hands," she said. "Militaries are usually closed operations, but we're doing the opposite."
Leibovich is also the head of a two-month-old "Interactive Media" branch of the IDF, staffed with around 30 soldiers trained in writing and graphic-design skills. As an indicator of the significance of the department to the military, Leibovich said she'll be leaving her current spokeswoman's post in February to focus solely on running the interactive branch.
The Hamas media wing has dramatically improved its outreach from the days when their loyalists used to scrawl graffiti on walls in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas' militant wing keeps a frequently updated Facebook page and a multilanguage website. They tend to update reporters of rocket fire through an SMS distribution list.
Nader Elkhuzundar, a prolific 25-year-old Twitter user from Gaza, said the recent social media barrage reached "a new level of psychological war."
"Twitter gives us a voice, but there's also a lot of misinformation at the same time. It's a tool you need to be careful using because there's a lot of noise out there," he said.
Although there were tweets directed at the IDF's Twitter account claiming that the Israeli government and military websites were hacked and taken down Thursday, the Israeli military denied it.
"The IDF blog was down for a very short period, less than hour in the afternoon, only due to heavy traffic," according to Eytan Buchman, an Israeli military spokesman.
Israel's ministry of public diplomacy also started a "Special Operations Center," a virtual situation room of sorts, working with Israeli bloggers and volunteers to "get Israeli's message out to the world virtually, to Arabs as well, through social media and other web platforms," said spokesman Gal Ilan.

The Columbus Falcons could have thrown in the towel when they lost the lead to the Midfield, Ala. Patriots Friday afternoon.
That didn't happen.
After holding the advantage for most of the game at the Humphrey Coliseum on the Mississippi State campus, Columbus trailed 32-30 with 4 minutes left in the game.
Brandon Porter scored five-straight points as the Falcons rallied for a 35-34 victory in the first game of the final day of the Travis Outlaw Slam Dunk at the Hump Christmas Tournament.
"This is what we want out of these guys going into next year, winning ballgames at crunch time," Columbus coach Sammy Smith. "Last year and two years ago, we would lose these games. We won this one. We didn't shoot free throws as well as we needed to, but we made up for it. When you only score 35 points and win a ballgame, that's kind of unbelievable. That tells you our defense was good."
The Falcons, who improved to 8-5, jumped out to a 14-7 lead after the first quarter, 19-14 at halftime and 30-24 after three quarters.
Midfield cut into the lead during the fourth quarter and gained its 32-30 advantage on a 3-point basket by Antoine Davis at the 4-minute mark.
Porter scored on a 3-point play with 2:41 remaining in the game to help Columbus regain the lead at 33-32, then he hit a pair of free throws to stretch the margin to 35-32.
The Patriots had chances down the stretch, but were unable to come up with the winning points.
Devin Berry led the Falcons with 10 points, while Porter added nine points. For Midfield, Davis scored 10 points, Alvin Murry added nine points and Arron Gaines chipped in eight points.
"I didn't know anything about them, but I found out quick who the shooter was (Gaines)," Smith said.
Hamilton, Tenn. 69,
New Hope 63
Keelon Lawson gave those attending the Travis Outlaw Slam Dunk at the Hump Tournament something to remember him by after scoring 23 points to lead Hamilton, Tenn., to the victory.
The Wildcats, who won all three of their games at the event, jumped out to a 17-13 lead after the first quarter and increased the distance to 41-28 at halftime.
New Hope outscored Hamilton 20-11 in the third quarter to close the gap to 52-48 after three quarters, but the Wildcats held off the Trojans in the fourth quarter.
Josh Crutcher followed Keelon Lawson with 14 points for Hamilton and Dedric Lawson contributed 13 points.
For New Hope, Jaylon Bardley matched Keelon Lawson's total of 23 points, while Chris Moseley added 11 points and Whyatt Foster chipped in 10 points.

I was piecing these blocks with triangle corners (like the corners in this block) yesterday and thought I would share a quick trick. Usually a pattern (including my own) will recommend drawing a pencil line from corner to corner on the wrong side, and sewing along the line. Like this one:
But since I'm a hurried sewer and drawing little lines on 160 squares doesn't sound like super fun, this is what I do instead:
Place a piece of tape so that edge is in line with the needle of your machine.
When you are sewing on your squares, start in one corner, and keep the opposite corner on that tape edge to keep the seam line straight.
When your done you'll have a nice straight line from corner to corner, without having to draw gagillions of little pencil lines. Keep in mind though that the smaller the square the easier it is, it might be a little harder to keep a perfectly straight line with bigger squares.
After trimming and pressing the corner should look like this:
Tricky huh? I learned this from my Mom. I always wondered why she had painters tape stuck to the front of her machine….now we know.

Altar'd State Clothing Store offers unique, fashionable, on-trend clothing, but with a second layer to the concept.
It serves as an emporium for brands that give back locally, nationally and worldwide.
"There are pillars to our giving," said public relations and content manager Samantha Lane. The founders of the chain seek brands that focus on supporting charities or sustainable businesses for people who would otherwise struggle.
"It's family centered, built on Christian principals," Lane also said. Employees often have opportunities to volunteer within the community.
Altar'd State corporate founders Aaron Walters and Brian Mason see this as a chance to make a difference.
Lines include TOMS shoes, which donate a pair of shoes for each pair purchased, and FashionABLE scarves, which are made by women in Africa to keep them off charity.
The March opening of the Grand Boulevard store represents Altar'd State's first in Florida, with other locations throughout the southeast.
"Right now, we are growing rapidly," Lane said. That growth includes offering a selection of items through its website, but shopping locally is always fun.
LOCATION: 600 Grand Boulevard, Sandestin Town Center, Miramar Beach

You can get Texas barbecue and much more.
"My chef here, he can figure out anything to cook," said Robin Ford, who owns 4C BBQ Family Restaurant with his wife, Teresa. Looking for more space, they relocated their original 4C to DeFuniak Springs after serving up brisket in Ponce de Leon for five years.
Originally from north of Austin, Texas, Ford draws on a little bit of heritage, a little bit of know-how and good flavor for what he serves.
"We have a tomato-based sauce, and we've been making it since 1992," he said, adding that "everything is slow-cooked with wood.
"We don't only do barbecue. We do seafood. We smoke our own tuna here," he continued, noting that the tuna dip rivals anything served along the beach.
4C also serves steak, smoked or fried jumbo wings, and smoked hamburgers.
Locals seem to like the menu, and visitors do, too.
"We actually have people from Texas who come here to get this barbecue," Ford said.
LOCATION: 1045 US Highway 331 South, DeFuniak Springs, across from Winn Dixie
