A Muskogee County judge said he would wait for the findings of an investigation into accusations of potential wrongdoing by the district attorney's office before he sends two men to trial.
District Judge Mike Norman ruled Wednesday that trials for Derek Gattenby and Donnie Gibson would be postponed until February, pending an investigation requested by the Muskogee County Bar Association.
Gibson, 46, is charged with three counts of first-degree rape and two counts of forcible sodomy. Gattenby, 26, is charged with child abuse.
The investigation centers on access to courthouse security cameras by the Muskogee County District Attorney's Office. The office received two laptops with access to the security cameras from the Muskogee County Sheriff's Department this year. Area attorneys have said the district attorney's office could have listened in on confidential conversations between attorneys and their clients.
Muskogee County District Attorney Larry Moore has called those accusations "ludicrous." Moore filed a request for investigation Wednesday with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
Norman read a prepared statement to Moore, Jones and another attorney, Larry Vickers, on Wednesday afternoon. Vickers had filed a motion to postpone the trial for his client, Martin Miller, 19, who is accused of first-degree felony murder.
That trial was stricken from the docket because Martin is one of multiple defendants in a murder trial, all of whom will be tried separately, Norman said.
The judge told the attorneys he was postponing Gibson and Gattenby's trials because there had not been enough time for a complete investigation into the bar association's accusations.
The parties said Tuesday that none of the agencies — the OSBI, the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office and Oklahoma Bar Association — had spoken to them in regard to the requested investigation.
In response to Wednesday's ruling, Moore called the OSBI and requested an investigation.
"We will be asking them to investigate, first off, all these allegations of wrongdoing," Moore said. "And to do additional investigations of crimes that may have occurred at the courthouse."
Moore took issue with multiple parts of Norman's statement.
Norman had said, "Another question may arise as to why the District Attorney immediately stopped this practice upon the public learning of it," a reference to Moore's office returning the two laptops to the sheriff's office last month.
Moore said Wednesday: "I said, 'Judge, you and (Undersheriff) Terry Freeman talked to me on the phone,' and you said if I took the laptops out, that would solve 99 percent of the problem. It stopped because he requested it."
Moore said it's his position that the DA's office can have access to the camera feeds.
Norman also said there had been "no evidence, just arguments by attorneys."
Moore called sheriff's office IT Administrator Matt Staggs to the stand Tuesday.
Staggs testified he had recorded "about two dozen" DVDs of security footage since the system was installed "five or six years ago." Staggs said he believed about 10 of those DVDs were burned for the DA's office.
Staggs said that when the system was installed, the Muskogee County Bar Association met and tested the equipment.
Moore said: "Judge Norman said there hasn't been any evidence. But we had uncontroverted evidence by Matt Staggs under oath that the system was checked at its inception and that the bar association met and was satisfied. There has never been any evidence to the contrary.
"I have some friends in the Muskogee County Bar Association," Moore said. "But the bottom line is, my allegiance is to the public. I answer to them. I don't answer to the attorneys or the judges."

HOLLYWOOD - JULY 19: Actor Brad Pitt (L) and actress Angelina Jolie arrive at the premiere of Sony Pictures' 'Salt' at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on July 19, 2010 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Brad Pitt;Angelina Jolie
Brangelina 1, British tabloid 0.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie won undisclosed damages Thursday from a British tabloid they sued after it reported they were separating.
In January, the News of the World reported the couple was splitting and had already made a custody deal and figured out how to split their $300 million fortune.
The couple said the claims were false and demanded a retraction of the story and an apology.
Solicitor-advocate Keith Schilling told the High Court in London that News Group Newspapers now accepted that each of the allegations was "false and intrusive", Reuters reported.
The newspaper agreed to publish an apology and pay the couple costs and damages, which they intend to donate to their charity the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

He just said what everyone is thinking. This competition is great but it's too late on the season !
Personally I thank all Federations that sent their best skaters !
It's lonely at the top...would you like some cheeze with that whine?
Sit back and enjoy the ride, Patrick.
Happy Skating!
Yeah, there are good skates at WTT but overall you can tell the field on average is under performing across all four disciplines. They are all tired, burnt out, and Patrick was the one that came out and said probably how most other skaters here felt.
I am so sick and tired of some figure skating fans expecting these athletes to be politically correct all the time and nitpick every sentences out of a skater's mouth then quickly label him in a negative light. That's why Figure Skating is so niche, because it's a sport where you have to be princes and princesses.
Does anyone have the $ in prize money that these skaters get for this competition? The actual amt for gold, silver, bronze, whatever? A guide?
From: http://isu.sportcentric.net/db//files/serve.php?id=3967
Scroll down to page 7 to "6. PRIZE MONEY – APPEARANCE FEES" for more details.Prize Money
The organizing ISU member (Japan Figure Skating Federation) will make available the Global Prize Money of US$ 1.000.000 to the skaters/couples of the awarded teams based on the following scale:
1st placed team: US$ 200.000
2nd placed team: US$ 170.000
3rd placed team: US$ 160.000
4th placed team: US$ 150.000
5th placed team: US$ 140.000
6th placed team: US$ 130.000
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Wow, so amazing! 72 responses before I saw this thread about...an article written entirely in Japanese. I think it is wonderful that all of you are fluent in reading the Japanese language. Myself, I did not understand one single word in the article that all of you are discussing.
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
I find the hypocrisy on these boards laughable. As already mentioned, Chan isn't saying anything others have not previously questioned. Someone at GS even started a thread called "Should the World Team Trophy be held earlier in the season". Trying to twist every Chan comment into something negative, demonstrates how some people are unable to separate their hate from rational logic. If it had been Takahashi who made the comment, I suspect these same posters would totally agree.
That's because Takahashi won, so it wouldn't have come from a place of bitterness. Not to mention Chan has a history of having what he says getting him into trouble. Honesty is good, but opening oneself up like that will allow people to see who you really are. People aren't obligated to like what anyone says or to refrain from commenting on a publicly stated opinion just because it's "honest."
I think that in this posting by Sylvia
Chan puts his words very well:
From the Skate Canada press release: http://www.skatecanada.ca/AboutUs/Ne...S/Default.aspx
I didnt have my best skate today, but because its a team event, I didnt feel alone on the ice. As soon as I came off, my teammates were right there, encouraging me, and thats what makes this event so special, said Team Captain Patrick Chan. Im so proud of all our team members today. Kevin really made the difference for us and helped us make up ground from day one. I cant wait to see how our ladies and pair team finish tomorrow. Dont count Team Canada out for the gold just yet!
That said, complaining about the lack of preparation time for this event is rather amusing, given that he's basically skated really poorly all year. WTT wasn't even his worst SP (Skate Canada) or LP (Japan Open) from last season.
Patrick is fortunate that he's at a position in his career that the rather significant prize money for this event doesn't really have an impact on his ability to pay for his training. But I suspect that most of his other teammates were very thankful to have the opportunity to earn this prize money. Since he was the team captain, it might have been better to focus on the great opportunity this event is for his younger teammates. Even if he wants to focus primarily on the Olympics, the experience the younger teammates get here may help them at the team event in Sochi.
I don't have an issue with the substance of what Patrick said. Every sport should continue to evaluate the rules and the competitions to see if they continue to serve the interests of the sport, and it is hard to train for another event after peaking for the "highlight" of the season. But the timing of his comments was not ideal.

(Born December 7, 1947 ) -- Any list of the best catchers of all-time must include Johnny Bench. In fact, he's on the short list as the best ever. Yes, he played in Buffalo.
Bench was born in Oklahoma City, and was the valedictorian at Binger High School. He played baseball and basketball there, and his father told him the catcher's spot was the fastest way to the majors. The Reds picked Bench in the second round in 1965.
Bench broke in with Tampa in Class A, but was in a Bisons uniform a year later ... briefly. He broke his hand in the first inning of his first game on Kids Day at War Memorial Stadium. A year later he hit 23 homers in 98 games and displayed superb defensive skills.
Bench went up to Cincinnati in the middle of the 1967 season, and didn't look back. He became a starter in 1968, and a superstar (most valuable player of the league in 1970). Bench might have been at his best in 1976, when he led the Reds to a sweep of the Yankees in the World Series.
Bench retired after the 1983 season at the age of 35. Everyone knew he was a Hall of Famer, and he was overwhelmingly elected in 1989.

Tyler Myers is used to media attention. Folks always want to talk about his fine rookie season. Today, the reporters surrounded him to talk about a questionable hit.
"Till just now I didn't realize it was an issue at all,'' Myers said after practice.
The Bruins aren't happy with Myers' hit on Johnny Boychuk, though Myers said it was just a hockey play.
"I was just playing the play hard," he said. "I saw the scrum, and I thought he was digging for the puck. I just went to finish my check. I think it's pretty safe to say my style is not to go in trying to hurt guys. I was just looking to finish my check."
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff declined to jump into the fray.
"I don't even want to comment on speculation by other players," Ruff said. "The league will deal with anything. It was an intense game."
Myers said he had not heard from the NHL.

The Osage Nation Congress has scheduled a Jan 13 trial on proceedings seeking the ouster of Principal Chief John Red Eagle.
The Examiner-Enterprise reports Red Eagle faces removal on charges of malfeasance in office, arrogation of power and for allegedly disregarding his constitutional duties and oath of office. He has also been accused of abuse of the government process and undermining the integrity of the office.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments in a lawsuit that challenges the constitutionality of Oklahoma's new workers' compensation law.
The high court on Monday scheduled arguments for 9 a.m. Dec. 10 in the lawsuit filed by state Sen. Harry Coates of Seminole, Rep. Emily Virgin of Norman and the Professional Firefighters of Oklahoma.
Legislation to overhaul the workers' compensation system was signed into law by Gov. Mary Fallin in May. It was a top priority for Republicans who say the previous system was a detriment to business and industry.

A new study says the United States is spewing 50 percent more methane than the federal government estimates. Much of it is coming from just three states: Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Scientists say that means methane may be a bigger global warming issue than they thought. Methane is 21 times more potent at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, the most abundant global warming gas, although it doesn't stay in the air as long.
A jury is deliberating the case of an Oklahoma police captain charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of an unarmed teenager.
Jurors began deliberating about 4:30 p.m. Monday in the trial of Del City police Capt. Randy Harrison. Harrison is charged in the March 14, 2012, death of 18-year-old Dane Scott Jr. A 23-year veteran officer in an Oklahoma City suburb, Harrison has pleaded not guilty.
Oklahoma Senate Democratic Leader Sean Burrage says he won't run for re-election next year.
The Democrat from Claremore says he wants to focus his attention on his family and legal career. Burrage has served in the Oklahoma Senate since 2006, and went unchallenged in his re-election bid in 2010.
In November 2011, he was elected Senate Democratic leader. Burrage would have been term-limited in 2018 had he run for re-election next year.
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell was in Oklahoma on Monday to sign an agreement with the Citizen Potawatomi Nation to approve leasing regulations for the tribe.
Jewell was joined by Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Kevin Washburn and U.S. Rep. Tom Cole to sign the agreement that allows the tribe greater control in leasing their trust lands.
The Citizen Potawatomi Nation is the sixth tribe to take advantage of a new law called the HEARTH Act that gives tribes the ability to create regulations for long-term leasing of Indian lands.
Native American cultures are getting a helping hand from a surprising source…tourism. The stereotypes of insensitive non-Indians picking through baskets and turquoise jewelry, while still alive and well, is not what the American public, or the world, looks for in a vacation. They want an experience, and often as not, they want to learn.
Work is continuing in Okemah on the rebuild of folk legend Woody Guthrie's boyhood home.
Project spokesman Johnny Buschardt says the site plans are completed and the lot where Guthrie's home one stood is prepped. He says a construction schedule will be finalized over the holidays.
Organizers want to raise about $500,000 for the rebuild, which will use original planks of wood salvaged from the site decades ago.

26 Responses to "Adoption: Dark Chocolate Banana Bites from Paleo Parents"
Melanie on January 11th, 2012 1:37 am
I'm a huge fan of Paleo parents. Great review, Shirley! Could those chocolate banana bites be any cuter? They look super moist…I'm planning on bringing them to a birthday party this weekend!
Shirley on January 13th, 2012 9:44 pm
Melanie–Happy to hear you're a fan of Paleo Parents, and thanks, dear! The Chocolate Banana Bites' cuteness is significantly enhanced once you pop one into your mouth! I bet you and all the party guests will LOVE them!
Stacy on January 22nd, 2012 9:18 am
Melanie, I hope they were great – so glad to "see" you over here
Great adoption post Shirley. I found them through your holiday event, and I love their design (as well as their cute book design). I used to make monkey bread and it is soooo good. Dangerously good! I find paleo hard to get into as a vegetarian, but they seem to be the go-to source!
Shirley on January 13th, 2012 10:28 pm
Thanks, Maggie! I think the wonderful Paleo Parents have some recipes that will work for you, but understand that there that might not be enough that you'd want to visit their site daily. Luckily, you have me as the "filter" to share their recipes on my gfe Facebook page and label them so that folks might know if they'd work for them.
Bet you will eventually come up with a monkey bread recipe that works for you all!
Stacy on January 22nd, 2012 9:20 am
Maggie, thank you – how sweet! We have two vegan brothers and you're right, other than baked good and side dishes (we LOVE veggies) there aren't too many overlapping recipes. But, I think what's great is that we're all wanting people to use their head before they eat and focus on their health – ultimately we are all on the same team
You always pack so much information into your posts, Shirley. Great adoption and thanks for introducing me to a new blog and a new recipe for the paleo-leaning college girl in our family. Off to check it out now.
Shirley on January 13th, 2012 10:31 pm
Hi Wendy–Thanks so much! I think there will be many recipes and much info over at Paleo Parents' site that the paleo-leaning girl and your whole family will find helpful.
Awesome!!! Those brownie bites would be like gold in my house!
Shirley on January 13th, 2012 10:35 pm
Hi Katrina–Always love your enthusiasm, dear! Paleo Parents also has a sister recipe, Flourless Fudgy Brownie Bites, that you'll probably find just as delightful. Having tried this recipe though, it will be very hard to beat IMHO!
Enjoy all the "gold" from the Paleo Parents!
Stacy on January 22nd, 2012 9:22 am
Yes, I would say the banana bites are more like a muffin and the brownie bites… more brownie. Though great, the texture is more cake-like than fudgy. Hope they're liked either way
First of all, congrats on 3 fantastic years of blogging – the blogosphere is happy you are here as am I.
These look lucious and a great review. I usually stay away from any diet that is "trendy" but Paleo makes sense in many ways and is naturally gf. Great adoption – thanks for introducing me to a new blog!
Shirley on January 13th, 2012 10:40 pm
Hi Carol–Thanks so much, dear! Such sweet words … I appreciate them! So happy we got to meet in person quite some time ago. It makes your words even more meaningful to me!
These bites are incredibly good. I often think about how many folks who have been brought to gluten-free living via paleo and primal living. That's a very good thing! And many of us who are gluten free need to find our way to grain free, too. Lots of overlaps in our various food worlds.
So happy to introduce you to Matt and Stacy! xo,
Stacy on January 22nd, 2012 9:25 am
It's so weird that Paleo is being seen as trendy, 2 years ago it had been around for a decade (well, millions of years) and no one knew. I think what's happened is that Cordain and Wolf and Sisson wrote books, a few people did the diet and word spread like wildfire on how great they looked and felt.
Either way, I do think that because it is naturally gluten-free, there's a huge overlap in the community for us all to benefit from one another. Nice to "meet" you over here!
Those would be a perfect treat in this house. And I love that you sub your honey for the maple syrup! I am totally going to make these since I made the Pumpkin Pucks from them and the kids gobbled them up in no time! I love Matt and Stacy and actually gave their cookbook to two different families this year for holiday gifts!
Great adoption, Shirley. You are the most thorough adopter and reviewer of anyone I know!
Shirley on January 13th, 2012 10:57 pm
Kim–I know you all would indeed love these treats! I sub honey for most any sweetener, but especially liquid ones. I didn't know you had made the Pumpkin Pucks. Great to hear your family's review on those! Matt and Stacy are delightful, aren't they? I can already tell that their book is just fabulous. Such lucky families who you gifted copies to … their Christmas will keep "going," too. Thanks for the very sweet feedback, dear!
Stacy on January 22nd, 2012 9:25 am
Wow, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I love those dinosaur drawings. Very cute! Although I'm not much of a Paleo person, I know there are lots of good recipes I can "feed" off of on Paleo Parents. These muffins look amazing. No need to be Paleo to enjoy the fun! You always have such interesting blogger friends and "adoptions." And again, congrats on 3 stellar years of blogging. I agree with Carol, the blogoshere is lucky to have you! We're lucky to have you!
Shirley on January 16th, 2012 11:54 pm
Hi Melissa–Those are the cutest drawings for sure, and I don't think you'd be disappointed at these delicious mini muffins from Paleo Parents. Thanks for the compliment on my interesting friends and adoptions! Also many, many thanks for the sweet words on my blogiversary … you and Carol made my day!
Ooo, these look tasty! I'm also intrigued about the pumpkin pucks and am going to go check those out
Shirley on January 18th, 2012 7:53 pm

Shirley on January 21st, 2012 4:25 pm
Hi Richa–I'm happy to officially welcome you to gfe. Thank you so much for your kind words! I know that Matt and Stacy appreciate them, too. Your comment proves that folks on all different eating plans can benefit from looking at others' recipes for inspiration. There's no need to limit ourselves at all. As far as your quest for gluten-free yeast breads, here's a great bread recipe from Ali at Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen: http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2011/04/gluten-free-bread-xanthan-free-vegan.html I haven't personally tried it (I don't really miss bread), but it gets rave reviews!
I had this flagged to come back and comment and am so sorry I didn't find the time sooner. This was the nicest most wonderful write-up. It's rare to have someone so thoroughly, accurately and wonderfully talk about you. I was thrilled when I saw this and can't thank you enough.
Congrats on your 3 years; there's a reason you're successful – you are one of the nicest, most sincere people we've ever "met." Looking forward to future years blogging together
Shirley on January 23rd, 2012 7:41 pm
Hi Stacy–I can't BELIEVE that you came back to take a few minutes to reply to comments while on your 10th anniversary trip to that awesome B&B! I'm assuming that Matt was otherwise occupied at the time because it looked like you two lovebirds spent every precious moment together on your time away. Saw you have a new post up about it your trip and a decade of marriage (woohoo!!) and can't wait to read it!
You are very welcome re: the post! I spoke the truth. Thank you so much for your sweet words, dear. All I can say is that I believe in sharing all that's good in our blogging world and you two are certainly a big part of it! I echo your sentiment on future years of blogging together.

Flood Prevention
Bellevue's drainage system—composed of streams, lakes, wetlands, food detention sites, pipes and ditches—has been designed to hold and carry water during storms to prevent flooding. However, when heavy storms hit, some flooding can occur. Flooding can cause streambank erosion, destroy salmon eggs and cause property damage.
To prepare for heavy rains and prevent flooding in your neighborhood:
Check storm drains near your home and business and clear away any leaves and debris. Clogged grates are often the reason a street floods during a storm.
Inspect and clean sediment, debris and rocks from driveways on your property, private roadway culverts, and swales. Culverts (pipes that carry stormwater under a roadway) can get clogged and cause flooding on driveways and roads. Property owners are responsible for maintenance of these private drainage systems. If you to hire a service, see list of vendors.
Clear debris and leaves from roof gutters and downspouts.
Do not dump trash, grass clippings, wood, Christmas trees, large rocks or other debris into streams or drainage ditches, which can block the flow of water. If you see dumping, call Utilities at 425-452-7840.
Leave natural vegetation on steep slopes and along streams and lakes alone. Plants slow stormwater runoff, filter pollutants, and stabilize the earth so it won't wash away.
Test your sump pump to make sure it will be in good working order if a storm hits.
During a storm, it's normal for streams to rise. Some parking lots, streets and parks have also been designed to fill with water.
Do not attempt to drive through standing water.
If your home or business is in danger of flooding, call Utilities at 425-452-7840 (24-hour emergency number).
For general drainage questions, call Utilities at 425-452-7840 or send an email to Utilities Operations and Maintenance.
To find out if your house or business is in a floodplain, see King County's flood insurance rate maps.
To see if an elevation certificate is on file for your property in Bellevue, see Elevation Certificates.
For more information on floods, check the Federal Emergency Management Agency website. See also What's a 100-year flood?
The city's drainage system, including pipelines and in-stream regional flood control facilities, is detailed in the Draft 2012 Stormwater Plan.

Joseph D'Antona, The Balance Health & Wellness Center's managing director and winner of the Long Island Press's Best Acupuncturist award for 2011, orchestrates a team of talented therapists who garnered a nod from the same publication for 2011's Best Massage.

Aid efforts continue in India and Pakistan as bad weather hits worst affected areas
Oxfam aid workers hope to overcome deteriorating weather conditions and reach another 12,000 people in the Allpuri region of Pakistan by tomorrow morning.
Concerns over possible mass movements of people
Oxfam aid workers hope to overcome deteriorating weather conditions and reach another 12,000 people in the Allpuri region of Pakistan by tomorrow morning.
400 tents and material for 800 temporary shelters will provide refuge for a total of 12,000 people in the area if aid trucks are able to access this area, one of the worst affected areas of Pakistan.
Oxfam has operations in some of the most inaccessible areas of Pakistan. In Tehsil, in Allpuri 90% of infrastructure was destroyed. All over the region bad weather conditions have caused roadblocks and physical access to affected areas remains a major problem. Oxfam aid workers in the region fear that there could be mass movements of people if the weather continues to worsen.
Oxfam's aid worker in the region Shaista Aziz, said:
"At the moment we are distributing aid to people in situ, in small groups of four or five families. By distributing aid to the people in their villages we aim to avoid a mass movement of people into camps where disease could spread. Getting people temporary shelter and access to water in their communities is our top priority right now."
In neighboring Indian administered Kashmir, Oxfam has already secured good access through our partners to the most remote areas. Oxfam is providing emergency shelter in the area around Srinagar. Oxfam is airlifting in material for 1000 temporary shelters and 5000 blankets to the region by civilian planes tomorrow.

Original recipe yields 15 cookies
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- In bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites and sugar; beat on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Add flour and salt; beat until mixed.
- Add butter, heavy cream and almond extract; beat until mixed.
- Pour 1 tablespoon batter onto half the baking sheet. Spread with a spoon into a thin 5 inch circle; repeat on other half of sheet. Bake until edges turn golden brown, about 8 minutes.
- Place baking sheet on a heat-resistant surface. Working quickly, slide a spatula under one cookie. Lift and place on a dish towel. Fold cookie in half, pinching at top to form loose semicircle. Insert index fingers into ends; press indentation into center of cookie while bending ends together to form shape of a fortune cookie. This should take about 10 seconds. Once the cookie hardens, you cannot fold it. Repeat with other cookies. Write your message on long strips of sturdy art paper, and thread through cooled cookie.

Aside from the fact that these cookies were difficult to shape (no fault of the recipe), they are fantastic - they taste great and look good. A few tips: 1. Cut a round mold into the top of a plastic container, then spread the batter with a long metal spreader; this will give the cookies a smoother surface and make the shaping easier because the cookies will cook more evenly. 2. I cut down on the amount of sugar by almost half a cup - it made them better for my taste buds but didn't adversely affect the baking process. 3. Wear a pair of thin non-wool gloves (you don't want little fibres getting all over your cookies) when shaping the cookies - they are hot!
Wonderful flavor and texture to the cookies. Like any cookie in this genre, they are best made on low humidity days. When I was in pastry classes I picked up a few tips for shaped cookies. 1. Cotton gloves protect the fingers from burns 2. Place the cookie sheet on a thick towel once removed from the oven. It helps retain a bit of heat. 3. I was really slow in my forming so my teacher had me work directly from the oven. That way the resting cookies are kept hot while you work the other one. You have to be very careful not to bang appendages and only have the 1 rack in the oven to minimize the chance of burning arms, etc.
I tried several fortune cookie recipes and this one was the easiest one, the cookies came out perfectly.

SAN DIEGO — Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll wasn't kidding this week when he said rookie running back Christine Michael would get the ball early and often Thursday.
Starting running back Marshawn Lynch played just two plays in Seattle's exhibition opener before giving way to Michael, the team's second-round selection out of Texas A&M.
Michael got his share of opportunities in Seattle's 31-10 win over the San Diego Chargers. He ran six times for 21 yards in the first half. In the second half, he turned it up a notch, carrying 10 times for 66 yards — including a 24-yard run — for a total of 89 yards on 16 carries.
"We weren't going to get frustrated with what happened early, and just (kept) sticking to it," Carroll said. "He bounced the ball well outside on his long run – had a couple of nice runs. He's got a long way to go, but he ran hard, looked quick and made some guys miss. So I think it's a very good first game for him."
Michael also lined up deep for two kickoff returns, but he caught both well inside the end zone for touchbacks.
His highest yardage total last year at Texas A&M was 75 yards in a 63-21 win over Auburn. He ran a season-high 13 times for 33 yards in 20-17 loss against Florida. Michael finished the season with 417 yards — at 4.7 yards per carry — and 12 touchdowns.
Michael showed some explosiveness running between the tackles Thursday, but he also tended to hesitate on outside runs.
"The mental part – the mental toughness," Michaels said, when asked this week about the change in approach from college to the NFL. "Knowing your assignment, knowing your playbook — you never know when you're going to be called upon."
San Diego quarterback Charlie Whitehurst played against the Seahawks for the first time since the Clemson product re-signed with the Chargers after two so-so seasons in Seattle.
After starter Philip Rivers led the Chargers on the team's only scoring drive of the first half, Whitehurst took over, finishing 7-for-15 passing for 59 yards and two interceptions.
Whitehurst also was sacked three times and had a 17.8 passer rating.
That was reminiscent of how Whitehurst fared in his two seasons in Seattle, where he went 1-3 when called upon to start.
"It was weird seeing him out there," said Seahawks safety Chris Maragos, who had one of the interceptions. "I faced him in practice a lot, so you see him, and you kind of get used to a guy's tendencies."
Seattle gave up a future third-round draft pick and swapped second rounders in a trade with San Diego to get Whitehurst, then signed him to a two-year, $8 million deal, with the thought that he would compete with Matt Hasselbeck for the starting quarterback job.
However, the competition never materialized, and Whitehurst served mostly as a backup.
With the Seahawks, he was 84-for-155 passing (54.2 percent) for 805 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions for a 64.6 passer rating.
Whitehurst also was sacked 13 times.
Whitehurst's highlight in Seattle was leading the Seahawks to a 16-6 victory over St. Louis at CenturyLink Field to clinch an NFC West title at the end of the 2010 season, with Seattle becoming the first team to make the playoffs with a losing record.
For the Seahawks, 18 players were held out either because of injury or for rest. They included WR Percy Harvin, WR Sidney Rice, WR Bryan Walters, RB Robert Turbin, CB Tharold Simon, CB Ron Parker, DE Bruce Irvin, LB Bobby Wagner, DE Cliff Avril, OLB Korey Toomer, C Max Unger, OL Mike Person, OL James Carpenter, TE Zach Miller, TE Darren Fells, DE Chris Clemons, DT Greg Scruggs and DT Tony McDaniel. … Doug Baldwin started at wide receiver in place of Rice. … Jesse Williams started at defensive tackle in place of McDaniel. … Mike Morgan started in place of Clemons at defensive end. … Allen Bradford started at middle linebacker in place of Wagner. … Luke Willson started in place of Miller at tight end. … Randy Mueller, a senior executive for the Chargers, spent 17 seasons as part of the Seahawks' football operations department. ... Peninsula High graduate and former University of Washington standout Paul Skansi is a scout for the Chargers.

Uncontrol, do you ever feel a bit self conscious walking around town in your fits? I'm not meaning this in a bad way, just that they're a lot different to what most people would expect
Not really anymore.
When Uncunt ages about 5 years, if he still dresses like that, then he'll have major fucking swag.
We'll see, lol ... I have a hard time imagining I will be dressing like this approaching 30, but who knows.
Uncontrol I like that fit, its much steezier than most of the stuff you put out without being awkward or contrived.

An increase in vehicle related thefts has prompted police in Nassau County's Seventh Precinct to issue a warning to the public reminding them to secure their vehicles.
There have been at least 33 thefts in the precinct since April, according to police.
The thefts have been all around the precincts and there have also been thefts in neighboring areas such as Levittown, Wantagh, Merrick and Bellmore.
On May 18 the rear window of 1990 red Ford Taurus was reportedly smashed while parked in a driveway on Illona Lane in Merrick. Additionally, someone reported the rear window of their 2001 white Ford Windstar smashed sometime between May 19 and 20 on Bellmore Avenue in Bellmore. Another complaintant in Wantagh discovered the rear window shattered sometime between May 20 and 21 at the Mandalay School on Bayview Avenue.
But the the thefts are preventable, and police have issued several reminders to the public.
- When leaving your car unattended, close your windows and lock the doors. Half of all stolen cars are left unlocked.
- Remove the keys from the ignition; one fifth of all car thefts are caused by leaving the car unattended while the engine is running.
- Park the car in a well-lit, busy parking lot or a lot with an attendant.
- Park your car in your garage or lighted driveway.
- Do not leave your insurance cards, registration or title in the glove box. Carry copies of your automobile's paperwork with you; leave the originals in a safe place. This hinders criminals from impersonating you when they are stopped by the police.
- Never leave valuables such as backpacks, purses, iPods, GPS systems in plain view. If you must leave items in the auto you should lock them out of view in the trunk.
- Criminals are watching you when youdrive into parks, running tracks, gyms etc. They see you arrive at your destination and watch you put thevaluables under the seat or in the trunk of the car. As soon as you leave they will break into the car and steal the valuables. To deter criminals from breaking into your car while you are away, put the items into the trunk before you arrive at your destination or carry them with you.
- When the vehicle is unattended don't leave your GPS unit in plain view on the windshield. Take down the GPS holder and try to wipe the suction cup residue off the windshield.
- Thieves can steal all four tires off your car in a less than a minute. They usually steal the tires in the early morning hours when you are sleeping. Install a locking lug nut on each rim. Don't keep the key to your lug nut lock easily accessible in your glove box. Tuck it away in your trunk.
Last week, there were at least 10 vehicle thefts in the Seventh Precinct.

For the first time ever, Derek Dooley sounds optimistic about his Tennessee Vols football team.

LAWRENCE, Mass. — The mayor of this violence-plagued immigrant city north of Boston has announced plans for a gun-buyback program in the aftermath of the Connecticut elementary school massacre.
Mayor William Lantigua, whose small city has averaged 10 murders a year, said he was shaken by the slaughter of 20 small children and six adults at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Conn., four days ago by a gunman randomly firing a semi-automatic assault rifle.
"What happened in Newtown is more than a reason to join us in recovering weapons so that in a moment of passion, grief or anger, people don't commit such a heinous crime," said Lantigua. "We have to find a solution to prevent this tragedy from happening again. Whatever I can offer, I'm more than ready to do so."
Langtigua and Police Chief John Romero did not know how many guns are possessed by Lawrence residents, but gun violence is common in the blue-collar city of 76,000 that has been battling drug problems for years.
Federal officials estimate that firearms are in one-third of American households, and that 310 million guns are owned legally or illegally in the country.
Langtigua said the buy-back program would offer a cash payment for each weapon turned over to police. He said no questions would be asked of persons turning in the guns.
He said the aim is to get guns off the street as quickly as possible. He said some critics will object on the ground that illegal possessions could go unprosecuted.
"Sometimes we don't catch the criminal and don't have the gun," he said. "But with this, at least we'd get the gun and it will not be used again."
The mayor's announcement was made during a prayer vigil at city hall for the victims of the Conneticut school shootings.
Josue Barrera, a fourth-grader at the Frost Elementary School who attended the vigil, expressed his feelings this way: "I felt sad because their mothers will miss them and Christmas is coming and they're not going to get any presents. I know they're in heaven because they were good kids."
Details for this story were provided by The Eagle-Tribune, North Andover, Mass.

That matches the biggest I have EVER "harvested" (gotta be pc nowadays).
I am suprised her neck can hold that smile up!
Hunting has been my #1 passion through my entire life, so I cannot tell you happy I am to see you teaching her the "ways of the woods"!
Excellent job!
Cut in strips, breaded, and fried, a domestic turkey cannot compare at the dinner table.
I have smoked them with excellent results also.
MUCH better than what you can buy.
Its basically an "Organic Turkey".
Tell her congrats for me, and she is welcome in my camp anytime.
I bought the NEF 20ga for $ 50.00 off a guy who didn't use it too much any more.

You can tell she liked it by the grin on that face. Good going girl.
Someone asked about cooking it. I cut the breasts up in strips and fry them much like a chicken strip. I also boil the legs down and make Turkey Noodle soup. It is the only way I know you can eat those legs as they are sinewy and tough and bony.
I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

It was the summer of 1966 and the legendary Sam Snead had come down with a case of the "yips."
Nothing in golf is more dreadful than trembling hands that cause putts to roll astray. But when Snead found a simple cure — standing astride the ball as if playing croquet — officials quickly banned the technique.

Plans etched out for vets plaque
Published: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 9:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 9:19 a.m.
Plans have been etched out for replacing the stolen Vietnam veterans plaque in Walnut Park, but they won't be set in stone until they get the approval of the Recreation, Music and Parks Commission.
A group of Petaluma veterans, service groups and others met at Walnut Park on Jan. 24 to firm up a proposal for a new plaque honoring fallen Vietnam soldiers that will replace the one that was stolen around Christmas time.
The group would like to keep the original design of the plaque intact as much as possible, said Joe Noriel, president of the Petaluma Historical Museum, which hosted an exhibit in 2010 featuring the Vietnam War in collaboration with local veterans.
That means keeping the stone base that still stands by the gazebo in the middle of the park and adhering to the basic design of the original bronze plaque, which was crafted decades ago by celebrated local artist Rosa Estebanez.
That plaque held the names of 15 Petalumans who lost their lives fighting in the Vietnam War. Before the plaque goes back up, Noriel said, the group will do an exhaustive search to see if any more names should be added.
The group proposes securing the new, bronze plaque in place with a piece of granite, which should help ensure that the plaque won't be stolen for the value of its metal, as its presumed the original was.
The monument will likely be flanked by two flags.
It appears the group that formed to replace the plaque will stay together for the long term, Noriel said. The group will take on the mission of installing additional monuments to veterans of other wars in the park.
"It's really turning into a tribute for all the folks who served," Noriel said.
The plans are expected to come before the Recreation, Music and Parks Commission in late February.

Our nutrition/diet expert was skeptical . How about you?
Is this a good way to offer us a treat while helping us consume fewer calories or just a clever way to make us pay the same or more for less?
the spinach is getting less healthy food for more makes me mad.
for corporations it is never concern for us it is concern for the bottom line ..
Hugs Judy:)
I completely agree with you. It's a sham. Candy bars aside, I also have noticed that companies have been downsizing their products, particularly during this poor economy. So, it LOOKS like they are lowering their prices, but actually they are giving us less for our money.
I think I read something recently about soda manufacturers doing the same thing.
I am going to admit it right here...if I want a candy bar or something bad for me it's not going to help me to have a smaller candy bar. I am just going to eat another one if I still have that chocolate craving. It's really more about willpower and the individual than these companies 'saving' us from ourselves.
But, that's just my opinion. There may be others out there that will benefit from a smaller serving size being offered up.
They certainly are not going to lower the price on the candy bar. They will charge the same price or higher for less product. People do not like to feel that they are getting ripped off. I know that when I shopping I compare products to see which "brand" of the item is giving me a better deal monetarily, but I also have to consider the additives such as sodium or sugar. Reducing a candy bar down to 250 calories is not going to amount to much honestly. One of my husband's favorite bars is typically around 280 calories for a regular full size bar, when thinking about that 30 calories shaved off is nice, but it really does not amount to much when you consider that you are still consuming copious amounts of sugar and preservatives.
On topic, it is totally a marketing ploy.
In light of the obesity and Type 2 Diabetes epidemics in this country, I'm not sure this was a good idea.
As for buying bulk produce, the wholesale stores are great for that, I get huge bags of spinach and other greens in mass quantities. For a fair price.
Im not a big chocolate person, well thats not true...i just dont keep chocolate in my home because i know i will eat it, when relaxing. Is it ok to have a candy bar once in a great while, of course, it can take us back in time to when we spent a dime on a candy bar vs. the $2 we just spent
