Recently it seems like everyone, especially in Boulder, is on an organic and locally grown food kick. People are straying away from the major grocery stores and going for foods that are grown a little closer to home. It may seem silly or be more expensive, but there are actually many reasons why buying from local stores or farmers markets is the way to go.
1. It's a fact. Locally grown food tastes better. That's because what you're buying has been harvested within just the past couple…

For generations Americans have had a fairly straightforward approach to cocktails – gin and tonic, highball, rum and coke – without ever giving a second thought to the possibilities a true bartender genius is capable of. Back in the 1800s and early 1900s, specialty cocktails were commonplace, featuring interesting flavor pairings and even more interesting names.
Those days are starting to come back as the craft cocktail movement gains momentum in big cities including New York and…

Non-stick pans are a gift that we all have been taking for granted. We all, myself included, have slowly been ruining our beloved non-stick pans. Yes, they are useful for almost everything, but it turns out, they aren't as durable as you might think. Avoid the following and extend the life of your non-stick items!
1. Let's start with the heat you typically use with your pots and pans. Now I always thought that non-stick pans were the toughest of them all. This is not true. As it turns…

As a soon to be college grad, I feel that I should pass my extensive knowledge about college kitchens and cooking onto all the incoming and future students. Let me preface this article by say that all college kitchens are small. Once again, ALL COLLEGE KITCHENS ARE SMALL. Do not think big and extravagant. Just because you are out of the dorms and have a kitchen does not mean that you should cram it full of gadgets or multiples of anything. You won't have any space for the important…Continue

I joined Shredd and Ragan this morning on 103.3 The Edge to talk about the Buffalo Bills' decision to hire Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone.
What we discussed:
- • What does this move mean for the organization?
- • Should the "new" Bills get the benefit of the doubt on this hire?
- • What are Marrone's pros and cons?
- • Would Marrone hire a former NFL head coach to be a coordinator?
- • What happened with Lovie Smith's and Ken Whisenhunt's candidacies?
- • Does this mean the Bills will target Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib in the draft?

Catherine Bilodeau and Miguel Catala each brought home Silver Emblems for their work in Agricultural Communication, Alexa Chase and Karolina Gilmore earned Silver Emblems for their work in Agricultural Sales, Heather Berlo earned a Silver Emblem in Dairy Cattle Handling, and Dylan Sullivan earned silver in the Job Interview event.

Early start for bargain hunters
11:55am Thursday 27th December 2012 in News By John Keenan
People queued in the dark to get their hands on Boxing Day bargains yesterday despite experts reporting a change in the way we shop.
Across Sussex shoppers were out early to make the most of bargains at Next, Marks & Spencer and other large chains, despite online retailers having begun heavy discounts on Christmas Day.
Helen Simmonds from Woodingdean was first in the queue at Marks & Spencer in Western Road, which opened its doors on Boxing Day for the first time in many years.
She said: "I always shop at M&S and I wanted to make sure I snapped up some bargains. I was very pleased with what I managed to pick up."
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) said high street spending had been "acceptable but not exceptional"
this festive period, blaming the figures on poor accessibility to high streets and weak consumer demand rather than online shopping.
Analysts Experian said that Christmas 2012 will be the "biggest and busiest ever" for online retailers in the UK, with visits to retail websites expected to reach 126 million today, up 31% on 2011 and consumers predicted to spend £472.5 million online.
Richard Dodd, from the BRC, said: "There are a lot of myths around online retail. 10% of overall retailing over the year comes from online shopping and actually it presents lots of opportunities for the retail sector."
Retail analyst Neil Saunders said: "Some sales are still an event. Next doesn't discount at any other time so people still see it as something special.
"Also by Boxing Day people have had a few days off and are a bit bored. Shopping has become something of a national pastime."
Mark Dyne, the manager at Next in Worthing, said this year's sales were on a par with 2011.
He said: "We opened at 6am and had an initial rush although it calmed down later on."
Sales were steady at the Next outlet at Brighton Retail Park in Carden Avenue, the manageress said.

All I saw on sale was a load of tat. And tat at 50% off is still tat.
The High Street is pretty dead for me these days. I tried to buy a par of jeans at H&M a few months ago and the cue would have taken 40 minutes. It all needs a rethink.

Todd Golden
The Tribune-Star
Since he was promoted to the Chicago White Sox on Friday, Terre Haute native Josh Phegley has been the toast of his hometown.
But excitement over Phegley isn't just confined to Vigo County. The 25-year-old catcher is the next big thing for the White Sox, too.
After Phegley earned his first career hit, RBI and home run in his first Major League Baseball series at Tampa Bay, South Siders were excited about phenom Phegley.
A home run on Monday in his home debut at U.S. Cellular Field didn't hurt that cause one bit.
The buzz was evident Monday long before the White Sox hosted the Chicago Cubs in a crosstown rivalry game. There were so many Chicago media members staked out at Phegley's locker in the White Sox clubhouse that his first home press availability was moved to the White Sox dugout.
It's just another milepost on a road paved with excitement for the former Terre Haute North and Indiana University catcher.
"I'm excited. Getting the call in Tampa was a real quick hit. It hit me really fast. I think coming back it'll maybe be more of a nervous feeling playing at home. Probably a pretty good crowd with the crosstown rivalry, but I'm ready to go," Phegley said.
Rain delayed the start of the White Sox-Cubs game for 29 minutes — a contest that was itself rained out on its original May 28 date — and it concluded after the Tribune-Star's press time.
The pre-game gully washer might have taken some of the sting out of the crowd, but not the appreciation White Sox fans expressed for Phegley.
He was received warmly in his pregame introduction. Batting eighth in the lineup against the Cubs, Phegley got a loud cheer from White Sox fans as he came to bat in the third inning.
The reception became rapturous shortly thereafter when he hit the first pitch he saw from Matt Garza into the second row in left-center field at U.S. Cellular Field. The 393-foot blast was Phegley's second of the season.
Per usual, Phegley was business-like as he took batting practice for the first time at U.S. Cellular Field. The media crush and myriad questions from Chicago and Terre Haute media alike were taken in stride and rolled off of him easily.
It's an approach Phegley has used to maximum effect all season. When Phegley didn't go north with the White Sox after spending the spring with the big league club, he didn't pout, he bore down at Triple-A Charlotte.
Phegley's .316 batting average, 15 home runs and 41 RBI in 61 games for the Knights became too much for the struggling White Sox to ignore, especially given that starting catcher Tyler Flowers was having trouble breaking the Mendoza Line.
It was all a testament to Phegley's determination.
"You see how guys are when they go down and they put in the work and produce. He did something a lot of guys dream of. He went down and produced and forced the hand to earn your way to the top. I think it's exciting for him," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
It's been a whirlwind four days for Phegley. Though he was anticipating a call-up, he was caught off guard when it occurred. Charlotte was on a two-game road trip to nearby Gwinnett, Ga. … and Phegley's didn't pack clothes for a weekend trip.
Phegley overcame the sartorial conundrum and made the most out of its maiden series against Tampa Bay. In his debut Friday, Phegley earned his first career hit, a RBI single in his second at-bat. He later knocked in another run via a sacrifice fly.
On Sunday, Phegley hit his first career home run — off reigning American League Cy Young Award winner David Price no less — and it accounted for Chicago's only run in the game.
"I think getting a hit in the first game was huge to get a monkey off your back. It took a couple of innings behind the plate and then I settled in there," Phegley said. "The home run in my second game was a huge blessing. It's exciting and I'm enjoying every moment of it."
Phegley would be enjoying his start more if the White Sox were winning. The Pale Hose were swept in the weekend series at Tropicana Field.
"It's a little bittersweet getting my first hit, RBI, and then my first home run the next game. I'm trying to settle in, but at the same time, it's about winning games," Phegley said. "It's tough to kind of celebrate within myself when we know this team needs wins."
Ventura said he will play it by ear as far as how to balance playing time between Phegley and Flowers for the rest of the season.
White Sox bench coach Mark Parent — who put in 13 years behind the plate for seven Major League teams — said Phegley will be given ample opportunity to succeed.
"He's been given a pretty good opportunity to show what he can do. Tyler Flowers runs the game pretty well. [Flowers] is struggling at the plate and his shoulder is barking a bit, so [Phegley] will get some time and we'll see what he can do," Parent said.
In the meantime, Phegley has heard about the support coming from his hometown and he has been humbled by it.
"I'm proud to hear those people are behind me. I'm from Terre Haute and I'll always represent them. I really appreciate the fans back there," Phegley said.
The White Sox go back on the road to Detroit and Philadelphia before the All-Star Break. The White Sox return to U.S. Cellular Field on July 19 as they open a three-game series against Atlanta.

Written by Danielle Directo Meston
From beautiful beach hikes to family-friendly street fairs, San Diego and its environs provide plenty to explore on a budget. For young couples, families with young children or empty nesters seeking a quick getaway, here are four great spots that are just a gas tank (or less!) away from home.
Griffith Park and Griffith Observatory
2800 E. Observatory Rd.
Los Angeles
(213) 473-0800
Why Go? Though Hollywood's Walk of Fame tends to be one of Los Angeles' main attractions, the 4,310-acre Griffith Park is by far the City of Angels' biggest star—literally. Hikers enjoy stunning views of the city on trails leading up to the Griffith Observatory, where a perfect view of the Hollywood sign offers great photo ops.
Must Do: Explore Griffith Park and check out the Old Zoo Picnic Area, site of the original Los Angeles Zoo, where visitors can monkey around in the abandoned animal cages.
Insider Tip: If you plan to hike up to the observatory, arrive early and park along Fern Dell Drive (just off Los Feliz Boulevard) at the Fern Dell Nature Museum/Picnic Area, where the observatory trail begins. The uphill hike can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your pace. Otherwise, there's free parking at the observatory, but arrive early to find a good spot.
The Fine Print: The observatory's hours are Tuesdays to Fridays from noon to 10 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (Closed Mondays.)
4600 N Virginia Rd.
Long Beach
(562) 570-1755
Why Go? Get a glimpse of ranch life during the Victorian era in Long Beach's Bixby Knolls neighborhood. Explore the Monterey-style adobe structures built in 1844, admire the historic landmark's gardens (including majestic Moreton Bay fig trees) and see thousands of textiles, artifacts and more that tell the story of California in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Must Do: Visitors rave about the Living History Tours, where docents in character tell the story of the site through the eyes of Mrs. Bixby and other significant people from the ranch's past. Visitors also suggest bringing cash to buy organic, gourmet jams made from the garden's own fruit.
Insider Tip: Food is allowed only in the designated picnic areas.
The Fine Print: Hours are Wednesdays to Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.; the site is closed on major holidays. Admission is free.
Torrey Pines State Reserve and Beach
12600 N. Torrey Pines Rd.
San Diego
(858) 755-2063
Why Go? Breathtaking ocean views, spectacular surrounding cliffs and a range of flora and fauna make the Torrey Pines State Reserve the perfect hiking spot. Picturesque (and kid-friendly) trails lead visitors through a range of scenery, from sandstone formations to panoramic views, and even offer sightings of gray whales and bottle nose dolphins in the waters below during the winter.
Must Do: Visit on a weekend and join the free guided nature walks, which begin at the Visitor Center at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Head inside the center—a historic 1920s-built adobe—to see exhibits on the natural reserve's history, wildlife, geology and more.
Insider Tip: Early birds can find free or metered street parking along the beach; otherwise, on-site parking is available for $15. While food isn't allowed in the reserve, picnickers can instead enjoy their meal on the beach.
The Fine Print: The reserve is open every day of the year from 7:15 a.m. to sunset; Visitor Center hours are daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the summer and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the winter.

Insert "Zito" where "Norris" appears on all 8 pages and there you have it.
Shammy could turn this thing into a main event - he would do his usual pre-fight snap-show - find a reason to get offended at Chuck. They would have a little shoving match, Shammy would go on the Howard Stern show and call Chuck every name in the book over and over again for about thirty minutes. Vince McMahon has taught him well. He still has one fight left with Zuffa

I think Ken would murder that Zito toolbox.

If it wasn't for Howard Stern sucking this guys dick nobody would know who he is.
This is funny cos I've seen him at these shows & thought who the fuck is that?
Then I saw a bike-building show (can't remember which one) & again thought "Who is this Chuck Zito?"
Looked him up on the net & still couldn't see what he actually did to make him a celebrity in the US. So I just assumed he was in a big show over there maybe in the 80's or he was a famous ex-sportsman.
Turns out nobody knows who the fuck he is!!!
Anyone know who his agent is?
Yeah. I've seen Chuck Zito giving his predictions at UFC events. Looking at him though I'd suggest that he'd fail the pre-fight drug test. Steroids anyone?
lol, silly atempt to get some cash
It would be cool if a real celebrity wanted to do this, like a martial artist turned movie star. Although by time they become famous they are already over the hill :-/
Just checked Jet-Li on imdb, he's 43 years old and he's youngest action movie star with martial arts background I can think of.
He's been at a TON of UFC events. He's part of team Gatti, at least part of the team that walks to the ring with him ever since his trilogy with Micky Ward. He's a big fight fan, so it's funny to see him talk like this. Obviously the dude needs a pay day or some attention or both. Oh well.
I have seen Chuck in the audience at a couple of UFC events.

Eight Barren County 4-Hers traveled to the Clifty Farm Country Meats plant in Allen County Thursday to join other 4-Hers from area counties in preparing their country hams for entry in the Kentucky State Fair.
All that was left for them to do was to smear their hams with vegetable oil, which is done to bring out the color in the meat.
Their visit to the plant was the culmination of a six-month process.
Judging of the country hams will take place on opening day of the state fair on Aug. 16.
Tim Berry, plant manager, assisted the 4-Hers on Thursday in selecting one of two country hams for entry in the state fair.
Helping with the 4-H Country Ham Project is a joy for him, he said.
"A lot of kids this age, they really don't know what a country ham is other than it comes between a biscuit from Dairy Queen or McDonalds," Berry said. "We want them to learn what a country ham is and promote the product just a little bit more."
Barren County 4-Hers took part in the project for a variety of reasons, but most did it at the urging of their parents.

World War Z goes to Glasgow
By David Moir
The post-apocalyptic horror novel, 'World War Z', by Max Brooks, has been adapted into a film starring Brad Pitt and Mireille Enos and directed by Marc Forster. It has started filming in Scotland. The set is mainly on the streets in and around George Square in Glasgow, with its open space and architecture, substituting for Philadelphia.
Road signs have been put up telling you 16th Street, J F Kennedy Boulevard and Ben Franklin Bridge are just around the corner so hopefully you feel like you are in Philly, certainly some of the tourists from the U.S. I've spoken to seem to give it the thumbs up.
The Brangelina bandwagon (or train as it should now be known) chartered an entire train for the journey north from London over the border to Glasgow for themselves, their children and cast and crew of the film. They arrived last week in a flurry of media attention (TV crews positioned, journalists lurking and photographers roaming) and blacked out people carriers and limousines sitting near by but with security so tight you couldn't see a thing.
With that in mind, myself and colleagues all thought the access to the actual filming was going to be super tight, how wrong could we be?

And while players have that option of taking down the terror with a friend, the single player experience that fans have come to love is still well intact and should certainly raise some hairs. Visceral Games today released a handful of screenshots showcasing some of the isolated, dark, indoor combat that will likely leave fans in a cold sweat and clamoring for more.

Financial supporters of the Boy Scouts of America have been under firm pressure by gay rights organizations demanding that companies take a stand against the youth organization whose policy discriminates against people based on their sexual orientation.
The push might just be working. This week the BSA lost funding from their largest corporate funder, Intel, which reportedly gave the youth organization more than $700,000 in 2010.
The move resulted from a campaign launched by Eagle Scout Zach Wahls, founder of Scouts for Equality, who started a campaign at Change.org. He urged Intel to pull funding for BSA after an American Independent report disclosed that the company gave large contributions to the organization. With the support of GLAAD and the signatures of 30,000 Americans, Wahls pushed the Intel Foundation to halt their financial support to the BSA.
In a statement to ThinkProgress, Intel reaffirmed their policy, claiming that it will not fund "organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, veteran or disability status."
According to ThinkProgress, prospective recipients of Intel grants will now have to sign a statement confirming that they do not discriminate based on creed or sexual orientation, and any groups that cannot do so will be ineligible for funding.
Under the policy, Boy Scout troops and councils that refuse to uphold the BSA's discriminating policy would still be eligible for funding. Intel's Chief Diversity Officer, Rosalind Hudnell, wrote in the statement;
Due to significant growth in the number of organizations funded, earlier this year we revisited our policies associated with the program, and applied new rigor that requires any organization to confirm that it adheres to Intel's anti-discrimination policy in order to receive funding. Intel is committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and to supporting the communities in which we live and work.
Trouble first started brewing for the BSA in April 2012 when Jennifer Tyrrell, a mom and den leader from Ohio was removed from her 7-year-old's Cub Scout Pack for being gay. GLAAD then started the lean on the BSA to end their ban on gay scouts and scout leaders by starting a Change.org petition in support of Tyrell. The petition attracted more than 330,000 signatures.
Since then, gay rights supporters have been demanding that the BSA reverse their policy. CEOs for both AT&T and Ernst and Young issued statements saying they disagreed with the ban on gay scouts and scout leaders and supported a proposed resolution to end the ban.
Even President Obama and Mitt Romney agree that the BSA should not discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation.
Many families have chosen to boycott the youth organization, removing their sons from troops or not permitting their sons to join in protest of the anti-gay policy. This choice has opened many family conversations around the dinner table about gay rights and discrimination.
The BSA has agreed to review the ban on homosexuals but as of now, no changes have been announced.
Should the Boy Scouts give in to pressure to lift the ban? Is your family boycotting the BSA? Do you talk to your children about gay rights? Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.

"French Women Don't Get Fat."
The title is a bit pretentious, oui?
Never the less, this best seller by Mireille Guiliano gives tons of tips to enjoy the good life, French-style.
Chocolate, bread, wine on a frequent basis?
No problem.
With doable lifestyle changes on eating and movement, anyone can adapt these healthy hints.
This book was so popular that two more books were issued in the "series," both by Guiliano - "French Women for All Seasons" and "The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook." This trio of books is enjoyable and entertaining to read.
A movie on "French Women Don't Get Fat" is in the works.
The author writes with style and wit about enjoying life to the fullest. All the books contain delectable recipes. (Chicken Au Champagne, and the Plums with Ginger have become favorites in our house.)
Chicken Au Champagne
4 chicken breasts (with skin and bone), salt and freshly ground pepper, chervil, tarragon or thyme (optional), 1 shallot, quartered, 1 cup of Champagne (Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut recommended.)
How to make it:
1. Place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan, skin side down, and season them. Pour 1/2 cup of Champagne over the breasts. Make a slit in each breast and insert a piece of shallot.
2. Place pan under the broiler for 3 minutes. Turn and broil the other side for 5 minutes, until the skin is nicely browned.
3. Remove the chicken from the broiler, base with pan juices, and add the remaining 1/2 cup of Champagne. Adjust the oven temperatures to 475 degrees ( I actually found it cooked better at 350) and bake the chicken for 30 minutes, basting once or twice.
4. Serve over brown rice. Sauteed mushrooms add a special touch and go beautifully with Champagne. (In a warm frying pan with a touch of olive oil, add clean, roughly chopped mushrooms, and cook for a few minutes. Add a few drops of lemon juice, freshly chopped sage, seasoning to taste, and 1 tablespoon of butter.) Pour the cooking juice from the chicken over the meat and rice. Serve the reminder of the bottle of Champagne (about six glasses) with the meal.

The Concord City Council voted Tuesday to ban smoking in areas accessible to the general public within a 17-block radius of Todos Santos Plaza.
Those caught smoking in general public access spaces within the area known as "Parking Assessment District No. 60," can soon expect to be cited for a finable infraction, should they be caught.
The ban comes two years after downtown business and property owners complained of the nuisance caused by cigarette-smoke.
A total of around 150 people attended the Tuesday night meeting where a score of speakers voiced both support and opposition of the ban.
"We've been asked by our patrons over and over to shut the door," said Linda Swartz, Cuba Linda's executive chef and owner. "... that drives away business. We look like we're closed; we look unwelcoming. That hurts me financially."
Swartz said she "would love" to place an outside dining area in front of the four-month old restaurant, but can't, since "... nobody will sit there with all the smoke coming in their face ..."
While a majority of speakers were in support of the ban, those opposing made sure to voice concerns:
"There's bigger things to worry about, Mayor ..." said Landon Hathaway, a bar tender at Vinnie's Bar & Grill. "We've been chasing off the same bums for the last seven years, drinking beers ... in front of the bar and behind the bar ... and now you guys are chasing off paying customers who are trying to smoke a cigarette? ..."
Hathaway said he agrees with current laws that regulate smoking inside, but banning smoking in front of the bar would not only drive away business, but lead to other potential issues.
In addressing Concord resident Babs Gomez's concern of what kind of burden the smoking ban would place on Concord Police, Chief Guy Swanger explained he expects the public to help.
"The best way to probably enforce it would begin with education," said Swanger.
The Chief said he has noticed business owners addressing smoking outside of their businesses and "proactive work" by waiters, waitresses and coffee shop workers that will pave the way towards getting the public to comply with the ordinance.
A warning process would take place after that, Swanger explained, but "people would eventually get to self-police."
As far as civil disobedience goes, Swanger said there are already officers responsible for patrolling the downtown area who would issue citations.
The initial fine would cost up to $100, while a second would cost no more than $200; each additional fine could cost up to $500, according to the unanimously approved ordinance.
The council's ban comes in addition to a 2009 smoking ban that made it illegal to smoke in the city's parks, trails and open spaces.
The ban does not impact private areas the general public has no access to.
Private residences, vehicles and designated smoking areas that prevent second-hand smoke from reaching the public will be exempt from the ban.
