Want an awesome s'more alternative? Take a banana, cut a vertical slot in the peel and insert chocolate chips and mini-marshmallows. Wrap it in foil and toast it over a campfire- it's sugary delicious! -

Griggitee said 217 weeks agoHaha, so good! Love the burnt texture.
That s'more alternative sounds good but I thought it said "bandana"
niku said 217 weeks agoim gonna be dead honest here, at first glance, i didnt realllly understand what it was, and for some reason the S' didnt click in relation to a s'mores, and i honestly thought the chocolat was like wood or something.....but after staring at it for a good couple of minutes it finally clicked and i actually really love it. i should have got it right away from the red scarf, but i must be tired or something cause it just didnt click right away.
regardless, its a very clean design, well executed. i WOULD like it more if the print was a little bigger on the tee, but i can live with the size, and i enjoy the colour of the shirt in relation to the colour of the print. also, the slightly charred sides of the mallow is a very nice touch, and i think my favorite part is the eyes! too funny.
congrats on the print david, and id love to see S'MORE from you in the future :D ;]
i hope this sells well!

Bucs' Gerald McCoy is The Man on defense07/26/14Bucs
In the middle of the chaos, there is order.
It is here, in the center of it, that a defense begins to make sense. It is here, surrounded by the violence and the madness and the bodies and the brutality, where the counter-argument of the Bucs begins to take form.
It starts with one man, with one job. If Gerald McCoy is sturdy enough, the defense around him has a chance to succeed. If he is not, it does not....
How many Hall of Famers does a one-title team deserve?07/23/14Bucs
You imagine running backs diving into the pile and never coming out. You imagine quarterbacks falling to their knees in terror. You imagine wide receivers running deep patterns and never coming back to the huddle.
Yeah, those guys must have been something to behold. You could locate their victims by the mushroom clouds.
A Hall of Famer at both defensive tackles. Two more at linebacker. Another at cornerback, and quarterback, and kicker. One at owner. One at coach. In total, that's nine Hall of Famers from the same sideline....
Turnaround NFL team for 2014: Why not Bucs?07/21/14Bucs
Every year, it's someone.
Every year, some team matters again. Every year, someone is relevant once more. Every year, things work out somewhere.
So why not this team?
And why not this year?
Go ahead. Laugh if you will. It has been a long time since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers mattered. Every year, on the verge of training camp, the Bucs have talked about being good enough for the rest of the league to notice. And in almost every year, disappointment has followed....
Bucs' success depends on Michael Johnson pressuring QBs07/18/14Bucs
The problem with all these wonderful new toys, of course, is that some assembly is required. In the end, they all have to work.
The new Mike Evans action figure? It has to function. The old Josh McCown model? It cannot break. The new Anthony Collins plaything? It has to be built to last.
It is the same with Alterraun Verner, and with Evan Dietrich-Smith, and with Clinton McDonald. With Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and with Mike Jenkins, and with Brandon Myers. When a team makes so many moves in one offseason, it is hard to expect all of them to work out....
Jim Kelly faces his toughest fight against cancer07/16/14Bucs
With other quarterbacks, you would start off by talking about the way he could throw the ball downfield. You would write poems about that arm.
Jim Kelly could always sling it. Even in Buffalo, Kelly was always cooler than the temperatures. It didn't matter how hard the wind would swirl, and it didn't matter how bitter the cold might be. He could always burrow a football through the elements and find success in the end zone....
Time to trade David Price? Rays need Friedman's magic touch07/14/14 The Heater
Andrew Friedman was always the smartest guy in the room. Over the years, that has been no less important to the Rays than, say, third base.
In the worst of times, Friedman was the equalizer. More than pitching, more than prospects. More than defense, more than managing.
For years, this has been a franchise that has thought its way out of the muck. It won when the dollars didn't make sense. It won when the economics left it helpless to stop the attrition that all small market teams face. It won at the rich kids' table. ...
At 86, Al Williams wants nothing more than to share love of golf07/02/14Golf
First, you must know how much he loves the game.
Only afterward, you will find how important it is for him to help others play it.
It was early in life when golf claimed the heart of Al Williams. It did not matter how hard it was to play. It did not matter how hard it was to get to play.
There was something magical about the little ball, the way it skittered across a green. Golf demands a set of skills that he loved from the beginning, and it filled him as no other sport did. To the black kid on the bicycle, there was nothing else quite like it....
Lightning chooses steady course to developing talent06/30/14 Lightning Strikes
By this time, Roman Hamrlik was a starter.
By this time, Vinny Lecavalier was a star.
By this time, Steven Stamkos was about to make Barry Melrose look more foolish than anyone in the history of hockey.
Yep, that's the history of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Pretty much, you established what you had in a prospect early. Think of it as the Jiffy-Pop method of stardom. You draft them. You turn them loose. You let them grow-as-they-go....
Josh McCown latest candidate in Bucs' QB search06/27/14Bucs
We want to see what Lovie Smith sees. That's all.
We want to glance into the future and see touchdowns. We want to see big plays. We want to see 10-yard completions on third and 9.
We want to picture Josh McCown, success story.
As a community goes, hey, this one is easy. We are willing to be convinced. We want to see McCown with his fist in the air, celebrating another touchdown. We want to see him dissect the opposition in the final moments of a winnable game. We want to see him pick teams apart with his accuracy, with his efficiency. ...
Price, Rays have been a perfect match06/25/14 The Heater
The kid would be here forever. The kid would never leave.
The kid would perch on the top step, and he would tug his cap down to his eyebrows, and he would blow his bubble gum into bubbles the size of his head. The kid would shoot his fist into the air at the nearest triumph, and he would grin that wide grin of his, and he would offer to be Joe Maddon's backup manager anytime Maddon needed it....
World Cup conspiracy theories abound for U.S. team06/23/14 World Cup
This match, you could play on the grassy knoll.
This match, you could ask Elvis to officiate.
This match should be attended by the likes of J. Edgar Hoover, and what do you know, he has just the evening gown to wear to it.
No, you aren't going to believe the soccer match that is scheduled for Thursday afternoon between the United States and Germany. In fact, if it ends in a tie — which is always highly probable in soccer, and would send both teams through to the next round of the World Cup — no one is going to believe it. One hundred years from Thursday, there would be many who would raise an eyebrow every time the score is mentioned....
Golf needs Tiger Woods back, and needs him to win06/21/14Golf
And so a sport waits.
Soon, he will return. Just in time to save a sport again.
Soon, Tiger Woods will walk out of the clubhouse with something to do. Soon, he will be back, and he will be healthy, more or less, and once again golf will be complete. Soon, he will squint into the distance, and he will grip his driver once again, and the sport will revolve around him once more.
He has not played in a long time, and he has not won a significant tournament in a very long time, and yes, his image still needs work. But golf has waited an eternity for Tiger. The sport doesn't just want him. It needs him....
It's time for Rays to start selling06/18/14 The Heater
Sell now.
Sell pretty much everyone.
Mark down the infielders. Discount the outfielders. Run a blue-light special on the pitchers. Slash the prices on the bullpen. Print coupons. Offer two-for-one deals. Turn Tropicana Field into Crazy Andy's House of Bargains.
Sell vigorously. Sell desperately. Sell furiously.
It is time, before a bad season settles into a bad reality. The dead-last Rays, 17 games under .500 and sinking like a rock in water, lost another game Wednesday afternoon. This time, it was 2-0, and the Rays gave every impression they would not have scored if the game had gone on until a week from Sunday. If then....
From far and near, fun of World Cup comes here06/16/14 World Cup
And then, delirium.
In a bar 3,884 miles from the winning goal, packed and proud, chanting and cheering, spraying beer and hopping up-and-down in that sing-song dance of a winning soccer fan, heaven came to St. Petersburg on Monday evening. It came a lot of other places, too, in small bars and sports pubs and cozy speakeasies, because the great moments tend to travel a bit.
In this instance, it was a jammed bar called MacDinton's in St. Pete, where glory arrived in the form of a 2-1 victory over a Ghana team that has vexed this United States team before. It was there that the World Cup came to town, to this one and a lot of other ones. It was there that the truest joy this sport can claim was shared with the most exuberant fans you could imagine....
California Chrome Triple Crown would be boon for sport05/30/14Horseracing
Even if California Chrome, the horse of the moment, wins going away, it isn't as if Mr. Ed is going to return to network television.
Even if he dominates the distance and the track and a field of fresh competitors, it isn't as if businessmen will show up for work next week wearing spurs that jingle jangle jingle.
Even if he establishes himself as the horse of his era, it isn't as if his sport will replace the NFL on Sunday afternoons....

Thumbs in the middle on this one.The gals are pretty good,but there's only 4 scenes.2 gals appear to be in their 40s-Rubee,and Gigi are over 50(easily).Samantha reminds me of "Stifler's mom" in American Pie and she is hot-even getting boned in a parking lot.Brunette amazon with pierced snapper takes on son's best friend.Seen that storyline-millions of times.Saggy skinned Rubee takes on a geeky guy that looks like the geeky kid from the movie "Christine".Finally we have Gigi-who I believe is veteran slut Anastasia Sands with a brunette dye job.She flops and bounces all over this limp dicked youngster.Not great by any means-but if you like older vintage ho's-this will turn your crank
i will give 2 stars for the girls.most are average looking,but there's a couple real cuties in here.love the accents,too.trouble is,they have nothing to work with.there's only one decent sized (and hard)cock in this one.a few of the dicks were not bigger than my thumb,and despite their small size,and inability to get hard-they seemed to cum in record time.and cum,as in eyedropper.to add to this mess-"geriatric" dick nasty appeared in roughly half of the scenes.i see that geezer,and i reach for the ff button,on the remote.this was in the mail,in an hour.thumbs down.given some decent cock?this could have been really good
The wonderful Kitty Fox appears in 3 of the 4 scenes here.But she only performs in one,which is a shame.This disc would have been alot better if Kitty stuck around in the 2 scenes that she introduced,then left the scene.Had she done a 3 way in those scenes this one might have gotten 4 stars.As it is? A lukewarm,lackluster disc-but the sizzling Ami Charms saved this one from a one-star rating.She got me harder than CHINESE ALGEBRA....
Not terrible,but nothing to write home about,either.The drooping tits were nothing special,and none of the chicks were especially talented..one even jerked the pancake batter on her forehead..WHAT's that about?
Nice disc.I admit,I am not a big anal fan.Personally,I can think of 2 other places that I would rather stick my wiener,than in some chick's ass.But this one had two of my favorites in it,so I figured,why not?Let me take a look.And I wasn't disappointed.All chicks are hot,and real nasty,as they get their back doors plumbed.No holes barred,here.Each chick ends up getting a 'protein shake' to the kisser.Worth a rent-especially for you ASS pirates,out there........
This was pretty good.Nicole Brazzle doesn't really belong here,as she is a professional cocksucker.But she delivers an amazing,spirited blowjob here.The cute bookworm,Katie was also good.She also showed sensibility as she shed her glasses to receive the tapioca facial.A decent installment in this series.Worth a rent
thumbs in the middle on this one.on the plus side-there's a lot of fucking in this.anal,bjs,atm-even a couple of "creampies"-in fact scene #1 has one chick dripping cum from her cooch-into the mouth of of another chick.that was worth the price of admission so to speak...on the down side? most of the chicks in this one are ..fugly.i would pass on this one-theres lots of better stuff available to rent here.
Not bad,but not outstanding either.I chuckled at the "disclaimer" at the beginning where the producers claim other studios "fake" their creampies with artificial substances-but proudly they certify theirs are the real thing.I ALWAYS appreciate a pornographer with high ethical standards.There was a hot black chick in this one-but sadly she took the cum in her face,not her snatch.A real let-down.I would pass on this-there's better stuff to rent
decent dvd,when you consider there's no fucking or sucking,here.just strictly "yank jobs",but the girls are good looking,and the dirty talk does help the viewer stay ....uhhhh...interested.a couple of the gals were good sports and took the slop shot to the face,but most of them aimed the "spittin' salami" at their tits ,or away completely.approximately 10 girls so you get a lot of jerking for your precious rental slot.worth a look.
An enjoyable disc,although there is no fucking,or sucking,in this one.The girls are very cute,and likeable.I especially liked Eve Lawrence.She had great eyes,and a nice,wholesome look to her.That is,as wholesome as a girl CAN look,as she's milking a BLUE- VEINED IGUANA.....Ten scenes,plus extras-a decent package.

in Brecksville formerly lived in Avon Lake, and accrued a criminal history while he was here.
Joshua S. Stafford, 23, is one of five men charged May 1 by the FBI. Stafford, along with Douglas L. Wright, 26, Brandon L. Baxter, 20, Anthony Hayne, 35 and Connor C. Stevens, 20 were each charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of attempted use of an explosive, said Mike Tobin, public affairs specialist for the U.S. Department of Justice, Northern District of Ohio.
In 2008, Stafford was charged by the on four separate occasions:
- In May 2008 Stafford, then a resident of Burton Street, was charged with criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor. He pleaded no contest was found guilty and fined. He was listed as indigent at the time.
- In June of 2008 he was charged with misdemeanor theft and receiving stolen property, pleaded guilty and was issued probation.
- The following month he was charged with misdemeanor criminal damaging and attempted breaking and entering. Both of those arrests were answered in one court complaint. He was found guilty and sentenced to 180 days in jail, with 150 of those days suspended on each, to run concurrently. All charges were answered to in in
Stafford's current address is not known.
The men had been monitored by local law enforcement before the arrests. A criminal complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in Cleveland this morning. Charges against Wright, Baxter and Hayne were made Monday. Charges weren't made against Stevens and Stafford until Tuesday.
None entered pleas this afternoon.
The defendants considered a variety of plots in the Cleveland area before settling on the state Route 82 bridge from Brecksville to Sagamore Hills in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the release said. The three who are charged with conspiracy are self-proclaimed anarchists.
The FBI said in a press release the public was not in danger, and an undercover FBI employee had controlled the explosive devices. In addition, the explosives were inoperable.

Eddie Bauer Infant Car Seats
When hitting the road with your little one, it's important to use a rear-facing car seat for children younger than 2. One option for babies is the infant-only seat, which typically snaps into a base that can be left in the car. There's no need to wake your sleeping baby when you arrive at your destination; just unsnap the seat and carry it in by its handles. Many of the seats can also be used in compatible strollers or in lightweight stroller frames such as Snap-N-Gos.

Relationships can unlock the deeper parts of us and direct us to authentic spiritual development.
Click on the order button below to download this Christianity Today Bible Study as a PDF file.
The evangelical church specializes in some spiritual disciplines: systematic reading of Scripture, devotional reading, regular attendance at preaching-oriented worship services. Those things are all important in a believer's spiritual growth. But Christian psychologist Larry Crabb says what's missing is relationships.
Crabb focuses on the importance of relationships in personal spiritual formation, particularly the relationship with a spiritual director, who looks deeply into our lives and asks us piercing questions. That's the way to healing the hurt places in the soul, Crabb says. What does that kind of spiritual direction look like? What happens in the relationship? We'll explore that issue in this study.
Table of Contents
SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 20:5; Matthew 23:25–27; John 4:1–26; Hebrews 4:12
Identify the Current Issue
Discover the Eternal Principles
Teaching point one: The foundations of spiritual direction should be biblical and relational.
Teaching point two: Sometimes the process of spiritual direction is confrontational.
Teaching point three: We often need help recognizing the Holy Spirit's work in our souls.

Update as of 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 14:
A multi-vehicle accident has closed the right shoulder on I-84 eastbound in Farmington between Exits 39 and 39A. The accident was reported at 9:38 a.m., and the DOT estimated it would be clear in two hours or less.
Our original report follows:
The early morning commute is off to a rough start here in Connecticut as the state wakes up to several inches of snow mixed with a sheet of ice.
At least five tractor trailer accidents have been reported already. One, in Vernon, has shut down Route 31 at the Interstate 84 overpass when a tractor trailer reportedly crashed and landed on the road below, off the highway.
The DOT estimates it could take up to 12 hours to clear the incident in Vernon, which was reported at about 1:30 a.m.
There have also been tractor trailer accidents in Windsor, on I-91 south, and Westport, on I-95 north. Based on the DOT estimate, the Windsor scene should be clear by now.
But the Westport accident, at 5:15 a.m., has closed the right and center lanes on 95 north between exits 18 and 19. There was no estimate when that scene would be cleared.
Tractor trailer crashes have also taken place this morning on Interstate 91 in New Haven and Cromwell, according to the DOT.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has put a temporary ban on tandem trailers from traveling on the state's highways. That remains in effect until 8 a.m.
Given the volume of accidents the DOT expects during storms of this nature, it will not be reporting every incident; only those that have major impacts on the state's roadways. You can follow the DOT on Twitter.
In a message noting the slippery conditions, the DOT writes:
"Inclement weather such as snow or ice during winter storms may cause numerous accidents to occur on state highways. Most accidents are not reported by the Connecticut Department of Transportation and the Connecticut State Police due to the unusually high number of incidents. However, reports will be provided on incidents that cause the MAJOR HIGHWAYS to be closed for a long period of time."

A National Grid substation near Wood River Junction in Richmond cut power for two hours this morning to 20,000 customers accross South Kingstown, Hopkinton, Charlestown, Richmond, and Westerly.
No one was injured in the explosion that occurred today at 9:15 a.m., but the substation will be closed indefinitely until crews can identify the cause of the problem and make necessary repairs, said Charlotte McCormack, a National Grid spokeswoman.
"Right now we are not anticipating any further loss of power as we look into it," said McCormack.
Power lines for customers who depended on the failed substation have been diverted through other power grids.
Alarms were ringing all over town this morning, said Union Fire District Chief Robert Perry.
"We experienced a power surge which set off a number of alarms in town when generators burnt out," said Perry.
He said no buildings in South Kingstown were damaged.

Is there any indication in the Bible (N.T. is preferred) that the spirit of man can be discerned properly from the words that he is speaking? And is there any indication of the opposite - that the spirit of man can be easily discerned without listening to his words?
We know that "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks".
However, being able to entirely determine the state of someone's soul via their words is a talent not entrusted to [most] people (the exceptions being accounted-for in the Bible with the Apostles).
A period of witnessing all of the components of a person's life - words, actions, approaches to living, etc - would be needed to make a credible decision as to whether or not they are saved. As a Christian, it should be our goal to become more and more like Christ every day, and part of that IS with our words - "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear."
Indeed, this practice is followed by many churches when they have a waiting period between when salvation is professed, and when the believer is baptized.
However, even knowing all of that, we are still fallible humans, and there will be "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?'"
Ultimately, it is only God Himself who fully knows the heart.

Seeking National Recognition for First Responders
Tim Gregg wants you to remember September 27. He wants that day set aside for the public to recognize the often unsung work of first responders. He wants you to remember it, because it's a day he'll not soon forget. On September 27, 2006, 53-year-old Duane Roger Morrison walked into Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, CO, took six female students hostage and sexually assaulted them. He let four of the girls go before police stormed the classroom he was in. Using the remaining two girls as...

Breaking in my first pair of Aldens today. Color #8 Plaza last slip-on chukka from LS. I still have a long way to go as far as Mac-ing them.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Not everyone's cup of tea, I realize, but I'm pleased with them. Next week my second pair (Whiskey NSTs) arrive!
I thought those shoes were hideous looking Frankenshoes when I saw them on the LS website but when I saw them in person at the DC store my mind was completely changed. If they had had them in my size when I was in town I would have had a hard time resisting them.

Here we are...
Did anyone get the chance to look at the protocols? Their technical levels were ridiculously good! I think this was definitely the breakthrough they needed (this and their success at Nebelhorn). I also think that this is going to be a huge confidence boost for them, which is so important. Especially since they had two straight skates without major mistakes. I think that if they can get their confidence back, it will help relax them and bring out more of their character in the programs (which really is the only thing they need to work on for the FD IMO).
Welcome Golightly!
To answer your question, this was their career best FD score and overall score. Their career best SD score was around 60, which they got at Nebelhorn a few weeks ago.

Valentine's Day will be here before you know it and White Castle is urging slider-craving residents to make reservations early for its popular Valentine's Day dinner, "Love Castle."
Restaurant staff promises that not oly will love be in the air on Feb. 2013 at White Castle, so will the aroma of the onion-grilled sliders that White Castle is known for.

"We love to offer an opportunity to create memorable moments on Valentine's Day for our Cravers and the people who love them," said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle. "Valentine's Day is a day to share your passions – for people and for food - and we can think of no better way to fulfill our Cravers insatiable appetites than to welcome them to our 'Love Castles.'"

Information on how to make a reservation and other event details are available at whitecastle.com.
Each reservation party will receive a complimentary digital photo available through the White Castle website after the event. Photos from the dinners will be available on White Castle's Facebook page by March 1 and are searchable by region.
"Every year, our reservations fill up fast, so I advise Craver Nation to let us know as soon as possible if we'll be seeing them on Valentine's Day," Richardson said.

More details are available on White Castle's Facebook page.

Brothel-y love
Horror author Kathe Koja recasts her Victorian-era novel for the DIA stage
Published: February 15, 2012
She never knows the endings of anything she writes, and this same approach is possibly the charm of the show.
Puppets and Passion may be a good introduction if you haven't read the book, or seen any of the show's previous incarnations. Even if you have, Koja promises it'll be something new. They're calling Puppets and Passion the "movie trailer" for the big immersive production to come.
What Koja wants the "trailer" to say is this: "Here's this world, here's what this is like, and we want you to know what we're about, and then we'll be able to open the doors of the brothel entirely, and then you can walk in. What you do is up to you."
Puppets and Passion (also listed as DIA Moment Puppet Performance: Under the Poppy) is at 8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 17, at the Detroit Institute of Arts lecture hall, 5200 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-833-7900. Free with DIA admission. More information at underthepoppy.com and kathekoja.com.
Excerpt from
Under the Poppy
by Kathe Koja
That first night at the brothel we didn't even have the sign yet, only the name, Under the Poppy chalked mysterious-like on the wall outside. It was me on the door, Decca the hostess, and Rupert the host, telling the girls what to do, how to flutter their fans ... The ladies have always fancied him, not that he fancies them back. Poor Decca, she's in love with him, you know, straight-up, and that's not telling tales because anyone who spends a tick with her can see it. There's gossip about them being sibs, but people only say that 'cause they live here together and aren't wed or bedding, and people have to say something.
That other's her true brother, the show-man from overseas, or wherever he says he comes from: they have that same foxface look, and the same air of, what you call it, secrecy. Like they both know something you don't. But he wears his easier than hers, like for him it's a sweety tucked into his pocket, and hers is a bone stuck in her throat ... He's brought a new kind of life to us for sure. Not that we were asking for it! But those puppets, what does he call them? The mecs, right? They're well worth having, I'd like to learn to work a few of them myself. Make that Pan Loudermilk jig, eh? Not bloody likely. He looks like he'd bite your fingers off if you tried.

The Downtown Chicago Marriott on Michigan Avenue feeds a ton of people for all kinds of events, and they work really hard at offering local sustainable food. They have a rooftop garden, apiaries, make beer, and do a field trip every year. Last year 9 of them visited La Quercia and very graciously cooked a meal for our team--including sous vide short ribs--that was greatly appreciated. I got this email from Chef Nathan there looking for ideas about where to source some special pork. These guys deserve an award!
"We are doing a farm to table dinner for a group of 600 people and we convinced them to do a pork pot pie as their entrée instead of beef filet mignon. We wanted them to do this because it is more sustainable to utilize a whole hog instead of using 1 cut of meat from 50 cows. We are really excited about this and we hope that we can change peoples ideas of what large volume banquet food is all about. So often people only want a steak or a chicken breast but if we can break that mold one group at a time it could be a huge impact for our sustainable cause."

A quintessential British favourite and one that shouldn't rely on a phone call to the takeaway. Chicken tikka masala - we love you.
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
4 tbsp readymade tandoori paste
2 tbsp natural yoghurt
3 tbsp vegetable oil or ghee (clarified butter)
1 cinnamon stick
8 cardamom pods
1 large onion, finely chopped
3cm/1¼in piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp turmeric
½-1 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on how hot you like it)
1x200g can chopped tomatoes
150ml/5fl oz chicken stock or water
1½ tsp garam masala
½ lemon, juice only
½ tsp salt
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and mix with the tandoori paste and yoghurt. Leave to marinate in a non-metallic dish for at least a couple of hours (or overnight), stirring occasionally.
Heat the oil or ghee in a deep frying pan, and when it's very hot add the cinnamon, cardamom pods and onion. Fry for about 5-6 minutes until beginning to brown, then add the ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric and cayenne pepper.
After the spices have cooked for about a minute, add the chicken with the marinade. Fry for 3-4 minutes, then add the tinned tomatoes, chicken stock or water, garam masala, lemon juice and salt. Bring the curry to a simmer and cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes. Serve straight away with rice or naan bread.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Jennifer Lopez Dances in the Streets in 'Papi' Video
Jennifer Lopez was sitting pretty on set of the cheery video for "Papi," the Latin-flavored single off her latest album LOVE? The newly single singer had the fellas chasing after her as she filmed scenes in downtown Los Angeles with director Paul Hunter, performing '80s-inspired moves choreographed by dance duo Nappytabs. A smiling J.Lo rocked a loose-fitting white top and shorts, and appeared to be having a blast while perched on one male cast member's shoulders with her hands up in the air.

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988) was an American singer-songwriter and musician, well known for his distinctive, powerful voice, complex compositions, and dark emotional ballads. Orbison was a natural baritone, but music scholars have suggested that he had a three- or four-octave range. The combination of Orbison's powerful, impassioned voice and complex musical arrangements led many critics to refer to his music as operatic, giving him the sobriquet "the Caruso of Rock". Performers as disparate as Elvis Presley and Bono stated his voice was, respectively, the greatest and most distinctive they had ever heard. While most men in rock and roll in the 1950s and 1960s por... Continue Bio >>

The clock is ticking for two deteriorating cedar trees ringing the Limestone County Courthouse after being deemed dangerous and a liability.
Commissioners held a lengthy discussion Monday at a regular meeting.
The east side and west side of the courthouse each has an Atlas cedar tree that has been dropping limbs, and both Doug Chapman of the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and Dr. Joe Eakes, a horticulturist and professor at Auburn University, have recommended the removal of both trees, which are estimated to be under 90 years old.
"There's personal liability that comes with this job when you fail to act on a recommendation," said Menefee.
"What if a group of folks had been standing there (when two 16-inch to 18-inch limbs fell from the cedars in August)?" asked Menefee. "A vast majority of people who stand there are older folks and younger kids."
Steve White, a local resident who disagreed with claims that the trees are life threatening, asked Menefee, "Are you going to cut down the oak trees (at the courthouse), too? Are you going to cut down all the trees in Athens?"
Menefee said based on the recommendations from experts and the possibility of liability, he has decided to accept bids for the tree removal. At the urging of all four commissioners, Menefee said he was open to preserving the west-side tree if local tree trimmers were able to prune it. District 4 Commissioner Bill Daws asked Menefee to consult with local tree trimmers before cutting the trees down, and District 2 Commissioner Gerald Barksdale pointed out the lumber from the trees could be used for keepsakes to preserve the trees' history.
"I'm not a tree hater, and I don't love to cut trees down," Menefee said. "I'm going to go ahead and let bids for the removal of the trees, and I'm open to preserving them. But I don't think they're as old as people say they are, and I don't think any Civil War deals took place under them … there comes a time in life when you have to do what you have to do, and these trees are a problem."
In other business, the commission:
• Approved a contract with TARCOG (Top of Alabama Regional Council of Governments) for $118,812 and a $212,740 Hazard Mitigation Grant for a community safe room at 15199 Brownsferry Rd. The county will contribute $53,185 and the federal contribution will be $159,555.
• Accepted bids for a Voter Education Web Portal to SOE Software with a total first-year cost of $53,400 and printing for the license commissioner's office to Currie Systems for $171.84.
• Approved these personnel actions: transferring Lance Royals to investigator/evidence technician in the sheriff's department and Johnny Smith to nutrition site manager at the East Limestone Senior Center; promoting Josh McLaughlin to lieutenant in the sheriff's department; and accepting family medical leave for Kenny Thompson from Oct. 30 through Dec. 31, 2012. A job description for district clerk, grade 6, was also approved.
The holiday schedule for county workers will include Nov. 22-23 for Thanksgiving, Dec. 24-25 for Christmas and Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, 2013 for New Year's.
The commission approved the removal of four desktop computers from the engineering department inventory, including a MPC Tower, an IBM Thinkpad 390X, an Acer Power FH and a Dell Optiplex GX620.
A Mayberry Drive subdivision located north of Highway 72 on the north and west side of Mayberry Drive was also green-lighted.
In other business, the commission voted to amend the fee schedule for the Limestone County Event Center to include a $500 flat rate for non-profits and schools based on the prior recommendation of Event Center Director Mike Nave.
The flat rate will include set-up, cleaning and security costs, which are typically charged by the hour.
The commissioners authorized a reimbursement to Shireman's Barber Shop for the difference in a 1-inch tap and 5/8-inch tap for $41.32, and they also sanctioned a two-week extension for a resident at L&S Property.
The commission will hold an organizational meeting and work session Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the Washington St. Courthouse Annex.

Mike Miller
SMU alumnus Mike Miller (73, 77), the first president of the SMU Student Foundation, founder of the Universitys annual Celebration of Lights and a longtime supporter of a variety of SMU programs, died Dec. 17. The 58-year-old Miller was president of Mike Miller & Associates Special Events Inc. in Dallas.
Among his many contributions to his alma mater, perhaps none loom larger than his 1977 founding of the Celebration of Lights, an event that draws thousands to the SMU campus each December when SMU heralds the arrival of the holidays with carols, candles and 100,000 tiny white lights. Miller established the Celebration of Lights Endowment in 1999 in memory of his mother, Margaret McNee Miller. He also donated money to create the SMU Student Foundation Scholarship.
While at SMU, Miller was a student leader and a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Among his numerous SMU honors, he was awarded the Universitys M Award in 1973 for his outstanding service to the University.
He later served as senior vice president of the National Cheerleaders Association before forming his own event-production company. For the last 21 years, he produced performances for the annual Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, and other aspects of other pageants and events, such as the Cotton Bowl Parade, and the AT&T Cotton Bowl halftime. He also served as president of the annual Miss Texas Scholarship Pageant.
SMU celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Celebration of Lights on Dec. 2, 2007. See a slide show and video of the event. For more information on Mr. Miller, click here.

At Round Guys Brewery and Bistro, most everything is local, including the handcrafted beers, the mead selection, and many ingredients on the panini sandwiches. However, perhaps the most local product of the pub is its jazz—sets are produced on the fly and on the premises every Wednesday night. The only requirement for joining the band is that you supply your own instrument, unless you play the drums (they have a set) or prefer to use bottle caps as tiny cymbals.
Thursday-night trivia and scheduled music acts round out the events calendar at the family-friendly brewery. Even if there's nothing planned for the night, guests still occupy themselves with a menu of pub fare and beer specials. Staff favorites such as the Kiss Off IPA pair well with buffalo chicken and cheddar-bacon-jalapeño sandwiches, and seasonal brews rotate on and off the draft list. These beers also serve as an essential cooking ingredient for the house bratwurst, which is served with onions on a roll.
Everyone needs a creative outlet. That's why Stardust Ceramics provides the supplies and the space for people of any age or experience level to create works of art, whether it's a custom-painted ceramic bowl or a colorful glass mosaic. Kids' and adults' painting classes use themed step-by-step instruction or a creative free-form approach to help students recreate their world on canvas in an artistic way. Comic-book drawing classes, meanwhile, break down the process of creating illustrated stories with sessions on writing a script, drawing people in action, laying out panels, and inking.
At Fitness That Fits, a team of certified trainers versed in fitness regimens such as P90X, TRX, and kettle bells are adept at coaxing—and motivating—clients down the path to wellness. One striking thing about the gym is non-intimidating family atmosphere. The room is outfitted with gear including a fleet of indoor cycles. Small group classes give participants another way to burn calories with more than 20 fitness classes each week that include P90X, TRX, kettle bells, cardio kick boxing, varied workouts of HIIT classes, and 20/20/20, which combines indoor cycling with strength training and core exercises. Certified personal trainers are also available for customized training, and a certified health coach is on staff to help clients improve their over-all help through nutritional counseling.
On red and blue mats, bodies fly and legs strike as trained fighters face off for bouts. Leading these sessions are The Sky Martial Arts's instructors, who teach students how to punch, kick, and hurl opponents while maintaining an inner calm and strength. During training, students also build valuable skills in areas such as respect, cooperation, focus, self-control, and confidence. The Sky Martial Arts' program for children ages 3-5 focuses on basic defense skills and life lessons including discipline and social interaction, while Tae Kwon Do classes teach children ages 6-13 or adults aged 14 and up how to use their bodies as weapons and gain color coded belts to reflect their skill levels.
At Ballroom, Latin and Swing Dance Center, dance instructors lead group and private classes in a variety of American and international styles. A large schedule of classes includes waltz and fox trot, tango, rumba, samba, and swing. The center also hosts social lessons and parties.
Shape Up Boot Camp offers a fun and friendly, indoor fitness alternative for all individuals. It is the perfect fit for those of you who are looking for a new workout routine that will make you feel and look great! Save on personal training costs and achieve greater results that a regular gym membership could provide!

Cumberland Times-News
When I read the Cumberland Times-News Editorial this morning, Friday, May 17, entitled, "Outrageous," I laughed like a kid at a birthday party!
While I have found, for the most part, the Cumberland Times-News to be a fair and balanced news outlet, I find the editorial in itself an excellent exercise in hypocrisy.
Understand, the information in the editorial is correct and this outrage does need to be brought to the public's attention.
What is hypocritical is this is the first time the news media has cried "foul" in all of the undercover, underhanded and freedom robbing shenanigans that have transpired under the Obama administration.
They have remained silent and in lockstep with everything that has been going with this president. And now they have been bitten on the backside by the "Exalted One!" Perhaps he didn't use his own teeth but he sanctioned it by appointing people that have no problem doing this kind of skullduggery.
As former President Harry Truman put it, "The buck stops here!"
Freedom of the press is the part of the First Amendment everyone remembers. However it also includes freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
Where is the news media outrage as Christianity is being trampled on and harassed? Where is the news media outrage when the Tea Party and other conservative groups assemble lawfully and are being harassed and ridiculed?
The Second Amendment guarantees our right to bear arms. This right has been and is being trampled by our present administration and especially in individual states like Maryland. Where is the news media outrage on this subject?
The Forth Amendment is to protect us from unwarranted searches and seizures. Like the federal government "searching and seizing" data from 20 Associated Press telephone lines. Oh yes, we're hearing the outrage from the media on this one.
The Tenth Amendment is designed to limit the powers of the federal government. So far Obama has exercised "Executive Privilege" on over 900 items and numerous illegal "recess appointments" thus bypassing Congress. Where is the news media outrage on this?
The Fourteenth Amendment defines citizenship and due process for citizenship. We presently have over 20 million illegal immigrants in this country and our president and Congress are afraid to deport them. Where is the news media outrage on this?
The answer to the "Where's the news media outrage?" question is, they have been assisting the government in trashing this country with their liberalism, silence, ridicule and disparaging commentaries!
The news media has always been our protector from abusive government since the beginning of our country. However, in recent years they seldom report the news. They create it or filter it so that the public gets only that which and how the media wants.
This administration and the media have been silent for over seven months on the Benghazi attack where four men, including our diplomat, were murdered by terrorists. And now that their ox has been gored, they are now screaming "foul."
I have been saying for years that the news media in this country is shortsighted in not foreseeing its own demise. After all, once the rest of the Constitution is eliminated, what is going to protect them?
While the Department of Justice monitoring of 20 telephone lines is by no means the end of the news media, it is an indicator of where our president is taking this country and in what regard he holds the media.
Perhaps the Internal Revenue Service and AP scandals will be a wakeup call. No, I really don't think so either.

If you're accused of being a sick bastard who tortures a dog or rapes a horse in Connecticut, your chances of being convicted aren't very high. A legislative study found that only 16 percent of people charged with animal cruelty in this state are ever found guilty.
That depressing statistic may be starting to change. Animal advocates and state officials say police, prosecutors and judges are all beginning to take animal cruelty cases more seriously than they did a decade ago.
One chilling reason for that newfound interest is a growing awareness that animal abusers are often also into abuse of children and wives, and can sometimes end up as mass murderers.
A recent report by the state Office of Legislative Research showed animal cruelty convictions in Connecticut last year totaled 89 — a significant increase over the measly 57 convictions a decade earlier.
The number of animal cruelty cases dismissed outright by the courts has also plunged, down from 255 in 2002 to just 87 last year.
And Connecticut's annual educational seminar for its judges, to update them on new laws and hot issues, will for the first time this year include a session on animal abuse.
Animal rights activists like state Rep. Diana Urban reluctantly concede that Connecticut's criminal justice system has made some limited progress in the past decade. But they say judges are often letting animal abusers off with probation and alternative sentences rather than the jail time they deserve.
"Yeah, we're getting better," Urban says, "but way too many are getting AR'd."
Urban is referring to "accelerated rehabilitation," a program that allows a first-time offender's record to be cleared of all charges if he or she completes probation with no screwups.
In 2011, a dude named Marian Wegiel managed to get accelerated rehabilitation despite being charged with what amounted to horse rape. Wegiel, 63, was charged with repeatedly "fisting" a horse's vagina at a stable in Shelton (which translated into cruelty to animals, fourth-degree sexual assault, third-degree criminal trespass and second-degree breach of the peace).
Wegiel apologized and blamed the incident on being drunk.
"We left the court feeling defeated," says Priscilla Feral, head of the Friends of Animals organization. "This was raping a horse, for goodness sake."
Alex Wullaert, 22, also avoided prison. He admitted to slowly strangling his pet dog to death and then tossing the body in a pond in Madison. An autopsy on the pit bull-boxer named Desmond found evidence of long-term abuse.
Desmond's case triggered demonstrations outside the court and anger from activists that Wullaert's only penalty was having to complete a program for people with psychiatric disabilities.
"He tortured that dog for a year and a half and then strangled it," Urban says with disgust. "And he got AR."
Urban tried and failed to win legislative approval this year for state "animal advocates" who would appear in court on abuse cases to make sure judges are aware of how much an animal has suffered.
"I think we'll get it next year," says Urban, who has been a relentless (some of her legislative colleagues might add "irritating") advocate for animal protection during her time in the General Assembly.
Despite the complaints of people like Urban and Feral, state officials insist they are trying harder on animal abuse cases than in the past.
"I do think people are more aware in law enforcement and in the court system," says state Superior Court Judge Robert Devlin Jr., chief administrative judge for criminal matters. "I think it's an important topic for us to discuss."
It was Devlin who decided to include animal abuse for the first time as part of the state's annual September issues seminar for judges. "That's from me beating on the judiciary," insists Urban.

LONDON – Guilford's Sarah Trowbridge has placed third in the women's double scull races this morning in the London Olympics. Trowbridge and her teammate, Margot Shumway, raced at 5:20 a.m., in the second heat of the women's double sculls with a finish time of 6:55.25.
The overall winner in this morning's double sculls races, which started at 5:20 a.m., London time, was the Great Britain team, which finished 6:44.33 in the first heat.
The races are taking place at the Olympic rowing course in Eton Dorney, about 30 miles outside of London.

Trowbridge, 29, first began rowing in 2000 with Old Lyme's Blood Street Sculls and she's been on five senior national teams and has five medals from international racing. Shumway, of Westlake, Ohio, is also a member of a national racing team who made it to the 2008 Olympics.

- Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the shortening and sugar; stir until melted. Add cold water and let cool until lukewarm.
- Pour milk into a large bowl. Add egg and yeast; mix well. Beat in 3 cups of flour and let stand for 20 minutes.
- Sift in baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into twelve equal pieces. Divide each piece in half and form into 24 rolls. Place the rounds in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pans or on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden.

These are extremely tasty. I made them with butter instead of shortening (therefore getting rid of trans-fats) and they were excellent. I made the whole recipe, and then froze the left-over rolls. Pop the frozen rolls in the oven for a few minutes, and they taste fresh baked! This recipe is a definite keeper.
I have won blue ribbons for my yeast breads and have never made anything that even came close to as good as these turned out.
My whole family loved these rolls. I used a smaller pan though and tried putting some in muffin tins. They worked nicely too, but I should have used bigger pieces of dough in them.
