(Following is the weekly newsletter from State Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, R-St. Elizabeth, MO. The opinions expressed in the column are those of Rep. Luetkemeyer and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Wentzville Patch. —Ed.)
The president and the Senate have had months to show how they plan to replace the devastating, across-the-board cuts in the president's sequester with responsible spending and reforms. They have failed, and on March 1 the president's $85 billion worth of sequester cuts that affect our national defense and domestic programs go into effect.
There is no doubt that the sequester was the president's idea and I, along with my Republican colleagues in the House, have twice voted to replace sequestration in the last Congress, one six months ago and again eight weeks ago. But the Senate declined to bring our legislation up for a vote. It is my belief that the president's sequester should be replaced with spending cuts and reforms that will start us on the path to balancing the budget in 10 years.
Among these commonsense cuts include eliminating a "too big to fail" bailout fund in the 2010 Dodd-Frank law. The GOP bills consolidate 47 overlapping government programs across nine agencies and restrain the growth and spending by government bureaucracies. The House-passed bills would save billions by clamping down on millionaires receiving food stamps, ending over-payment of taxpayer-funded benefits, and more.
If more Washington spending was the answer as the president clearly believes, our economy would be firing on all cylinders. Unfortunately that's not the case. The tax, regulate, and spend policies of President Obama are one of the main reasons that our economy is still struggling. Middle class families are experiencing less take home pay and higher prices at the grocery store and at the gas pump.
The rub here is that the Senate's failure to pass a budget, coupled with the unsustainable spending creates a scenario in which eliminating the proposed sequester is not a worse alternative than allowing it to occur on March 1st. We have to get our spending under control and the irony of the situation is that while the president proposed these devastating, across-the-board spending cuts that will hurt hard-working Americans and national defense, he now claims it is a "very bad idea."
With the sequester deadline upon us, it is critical that the president and his allies set politics aside and put the needs of the American people first. We have to stop spending like drunken sailors and get our budget in balance so that we can create economic opportunities for Americans like you. We have to look at reforming entitlement programs. We should reduce government waste and streamline the federal workforce.
Time is running short on reaching a solution to our spending problem. If spending continues this way, the problems facing countries like Greece and Japan will not seem so far away for an America that every day is digging itself a deeper, and more desperate, hole of debt.

Angeles City, in the province of Pampanga in central Luzon in the Philippines, was once the site of a massive US Airforce Contingent - the Clark Air Base. Following the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991, which devastated much of the city, the US withdrew much of the infrastructure and therefore the lifeline of this thriving metropolis.

State wildlife officials say this week's freezing weather could kill off half or more of an invasive New Zealand mudsnail population afflicting Capitol Lake in downtown Olympia.
With temperatures falling into the teens overnight, the theory is that the mudsnails — which are the size of a grain of rice — will simply die of cold.
To maximize the effect, the Department of Enterprise Services began draining the lake Tuesday, and by Wednesday morning a scientist from the Department of Wildlife was inspecting the newly uncovered shore areas where the tiny mollusks live.
Wildlife's aquatic invasive species coordinator Allen Pleus did some poking around on the beach areas of the lake on Wednesday morning. He said later that the cold spell — which hit 15 degrees early Wednesday morning and is predicted to continue through the weekend — is promising.
"The situation is good. It's dry. We are not getting rain or snow," Pleus said, adding that rain fills up the basin more quickly with warmer water, and snow provides an insulation blanket for the snails. "At the end of this if we got 50 percent mortality, I'd be really pleased. We might get higher mortality around areas that are more exposed."
The mudsnail is considered a potential threat to other species because it competes for food such as algae and aquatic insects that are eaten by other species in the food chain. In theory, this could affect caddisflies eaten by young salmon passing through the lake.
The areas of the lake with the worst infestation are in the north basin, but the snails are spreading inside the lake. Jim Erskine, spokesman for Enterprise Services, said a survey this year found evidence of the snails spreading to the lake's south basin and Percival Cove but not into the Deschutes River, Percival Creek or Black Lake.
As part of its effort to contain the snail, the state has tried other methods, such as flooding the lake with salt water to kill off the snails, whose appearance in the lake is still a bit of a mystery.
The snails were discovered in the lake in 2009, and no one knows whether it was a fisherman, dog, waterfowl or something else that brought the snail to the lake from another infested area.
It was after that discovery that the lake saw its last really good stretch of freezing weather, but the drawdown didn't start until after a 3-inch layer of ice formed, sheltering the snails. But where the ice was removed, samples showed 98 percent mortality, Pleus said.
With a drawdown beginning early this time, the hope is for better results.

More teaching jobs expected to open in Sonoma County
Published: Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 3:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 3:42 p.m.
Sonoma State's School of Education has been fielding so many requests to post teaching openings this spring that for the first time in more than a decade it hosted a job fair where school districts from across Northern California handed out fliers and advertised what seemed unthinkable just a few years ago: "We're hiring."
More than 100 prospective candidates moved from table to table Friday at the campus in Rohnert Park, handing out resumes and talking about job openings with representatives from more than 25 school districts Friday afternoon.
"It's always hard to get a job as a teacher, but I'm hopeful," said Sonoma State graduate Antonella Leone. "I feel better having been here. It makes me more confident I will get a job."
Industry watchers say that confidence is not misplaced.
The sea change in job opportunities is a combination of more predictable budgets with the passage of Proposition 30 and forecasts of thousands of retirements in coming years.
"Local education is one that has seen some good growth in government," said Rob Eyler of the university's Center for Regional Economic Analysis. "Prop 30 passing probably jumped a lot of jobs back in the pipeline."
More than 36 percent of Sonoma County's educators are 55 years old or older — the highest percentage among the eight industries studied by the Sonoma County Economic Development Board.
"It's unprecedented," said Ben Stone, executive director of the Sonoma County Economic Development Board. "It's an age wave we are facing. That silver tsunami is coming at us in terms of education."
Friday's fair comes on the heels of a steep downturn in the number of annual teacher layoff warnings.
The total number of so-called pink slips issued in Sonoma County by the March 15 deadline are down by more than half from four years ago. Only Windsor School District issued a significant number of layoff warnings — for 47 full time positions — which accounted for well over half of those issued across the county's 40 school districts this spring.
And Windsor officials said they expect their final cut to be nearer to 23 full time positions.
But more than increased budget stability, it's the aging work force that presents the most dramatic potential change in the teaching ranks in the coming years.
Mendocino County officials saw a surge in new hires this year, according to Karen Ricketts, interim regional director of the Sonoma County Office of Education Beginning Teacher Program.
"They were expecting 60 new teachers and they have over 140," she said. "They had unexpected retirements and they also had people leaving the area."
Ukiah School District had 21 retirees this year, up from an average of eight or nine, according to Troy Sherman, assistant superintendent of human resources.
The trend is likely to hold, he said.
"Currently we have more than 100 teachers who are 55 or above," he said. "So it's going to be significant difference over the next five to 10 years."
Petaluma City Schools was not among the 25 school districts at Friday's job fair, but Superintendent Steve Bolman said the district is focused on adding back eight days to the school calendar next year and eventually examining reducing class sizes, which would require more teachers.
Jordan West of Bodega Bay wants to be ready. The Sonoma State student does not expect to graduate until the spring of 2014 but he was at Friday's fair learning more about the local job market.
"I'm jumping the gun a little bit," he said. "I'm just trying to build a bigger idea of what I need to do 12 months from now so I can get myself hired."

No matter how it's cut, Oklahoma won on Saturday. The 42-34 victory over Baylor is in the record books for good.
However, anyone involved with the Sooners' defense wasn't in a good mood early Saturday night. Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops led the chorus of frustration.
"We could never get a grasp on the run game," he said. "Didn't have a good enough plan. Didn't tackle good enough. Didn't execute good enough. We got out-executed pretty badly in the run game and that's something we need to evaluate as a staff, and certainly, what we were trying to do, it's a hard preparation."
The Sooners held Baylor to a very respectable 424 yards. Nevertheless, Baylor rushed for 252 yards on Saturday and all four of their touchdowns were on the ground.
OU head coach Bob Stoops admitted on Saturday the Sooners decided it was more important to take away the Bears' passing game and were willing to live with the consequences of the Bears running the ball.
There were times when OU played with seven defensive backs and left a 20-yard gap in the middle between the defensive line and the safeties.
What irked Mike Stoops was the lack of any game-changing plays by his unit.
"You've gotta get some turnovers against these guys; that kept them in the game," he said. "We couldn't get a deflection ... something. You've gotta make a play at some point."
The victory over the Bears was the first of three straight games against three of the Big 12's best offenses. Next up is a meeting with West Virginia (5-4, 2-4), which is averaging 40.0 points and 480.2 yards per game.
Turnovers have been the Achilles' heel of the no-huddle spread offense. The Sooners managed to slow Baylor without getting any. Trying to slow the Mountaineers or Oklahoma State, which OU faces in the home finale on Nov. 24, without an interception or a fumble isn't advisable.
"It goes to us," safety Tony Jefferson said after the Baylor game. "We didn't cause any turnovers, and that ties into the score. We gave up some third downs and some big plays and we can't do that. Our main thing is that we have to get some turnovers. That's three games in a row where we've only gotten one turnover."
In truth, it's three games and only one turnover. The last one was an interception late in the fourth quarter in the victory over Iowa State.
The Sooners had some chances on Saturday. Defensive backs Demontre Hurst, Gabe Lynn and Julian Wilson all got at least a hand on balls. OU wasn't able to grab any of them before they got to the ground.
Perhaps, it will change when the Sooners face the Mountaineers. There's no doubt getting turnovers will be emphasized this week.
However, so will figuring out a way to halt a spread offense without giving up huge yards on the ground.
"I think you can learn a lot. They exposed weaknesses in our defense. We've got to address them. All the teams we play can do all the things they do. You open up Pandora's box, and that's what it is," Mike Stoops said. "Hopefully, we'll learn and try to be in better position next week."

Alcoholism. That's what this story's supposed to be about. How Warren Zevon, after some heartwarming and colorful mis-adventures, licked the Big A and lived happily ever after. Zevon: a drinking-man's drinking man, someone who can talk about booze the way Pete Townshend talks about rock & roll. Starring Richard Dreyfuss as our wild and crazy hero, Diane Keaton as ex-wife Crystal, Warren Beatty as Jackson Browne, Gregory Peck as private-eye novelist Ross Macdonald (real name: Kenneth Millar), actress-girlfriend Kim Lankford as herself, with a special guest appearance by Jack Klugman as "the Doc."
You could write it that way, I suppose. Most of it happened, some of it still might. There was even a laugh or two here and there: the protagonist buys a Christmas quart for his in-laws, discovers it's the only liquor in the house and drinks it all himself before they can sample a drop. But you'd write it that way only if you didn't realize that alcoholism is a disease, and that your true alcoholic is about as colorful and heart-warming as a pale white body on a concrete slab. Eventually, a dedicated drunk will maim or kill everything he touches, often putting himself at the bottom of the list. Warren Zevon knows this. And, since I was around for a few key incidents, I hope I do, too.
We are sitting up late at night in Warren and Kim's rented home in the Hollywood Hills. ("This stupid, pretentious, screenwriter's idea of a screenwriter's idea of a screenwriter's house" is how Zevon describes it. He is particularly chagrined by a four-foot-high red bathtub. "Very California," he smiles, with a certain amount of grim satisfaction.) Lankford, who's currently starring in Knots Landing, has gone to bed hours ago.
Since Warren and I are both night people, we've decided to do our tapings from one or two in the morning until dawn, then laze around in the backyard and watch the planes, magnificently framed against a faraway mountain range, make their long, slow descent across the San Fernando Valley toward the Burbank airport. It's a beautiful sight, somewhat unreal. I'm reminded of Hitchcock's movies, where the horror happens in broad daylight.
"From what I know about alcoholism," Zevon is saying, "I'd say there's nothing romantic, nothing grand, nothing heroic, nothing brave – nothing like that about drinking. It's a real coward's death.
"The last time I detoxed, I really thought I was going to die. I had my hand on the phone, I was afraid that I was going to start hallucinating and shooting guns – I didn't know what was going to happen."
(Zevon had a recurring dream: that he'd grabbed his .44 Magnum, stumbled up the driveway to Mulholland, taken dead aim at a passing car and pulled the trigger. Each time he woke up, he'd scramble for the pistol and count the bullets, terrified there'd be one missing.)
"This time I really felt that way morally about life. I said, God, just give me one more chance, man. Don't let me die a fucking coward, not this way! Shit! Anything but this! I'm dying from having avoided the pain of living. This is suicide, the same as the gun barrel in the mouth, except that it's infinitely more cowardly. It's just the worst death – a chickenshit, shivering, quaking, whiny death. There's no keel over, make a young and pretty corpse. I was fifty pounds heavier then. I weigh the same now as I did in high school."
Zevon – bright, cleareyed, looking as sleek and powerful as Sugar Ray Leonard these days – is talking about the last time he fell off the wagon after his voluntary rehabilitation at Pinecrest, a private hospital in Santa Barbara.
The reason for that final binge – not that an alcoholic needs any special reason, Zevon will tell you – was the visit of Montreal Expos pitcher Bill Lee, about whom Warren had written a song. Lee had liked 1978's Excitable Boy, and Warren wanted to play a tape of "Bill Lee" (later included on Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School) for him. George Gruel, Zevon's live-in aide-de-camp and a warm and wonderfully understanding man, had some doubts as to what might happen.
Zevon tells the story: "I said, 'Now look, George, we don't necessarily have to buy all this stuff that the hospital tells us. Let's just see if I can drink moderately.'
"So there was this one occasion – especially unfortunate, since I think it left a bad impression on Bill Lee – when George said, 'Okay. You can have a drink when he gets here. Don't drink anything all day, and I'll let you have a drink then.'
"A couple of days later, George said, 'You can't control the amount you drink. You didn't stop yesterday. You didn't stop today. When are you going to stop?'
"I had a bottle and a half of Wild Turkey left. I said, 'When that's gone.'
"He said: 'Enjoy it.'
"And that's how we did it. I had to detox again. And for a few days, it wasn't bad. Once again I thought, Aw, see, they make more out of it than they should. Then one night I got what was like the flu, only it wasn't the flu. It was much worse. I really didn't know if my brain was frying, I felt so feverish. I got the chills. There was no getting warm enough. I was lying there, shaking and praying. Praying. I'm not even a religious man, but there comes a time . . .
I first met Warren and Crystal Zevon after his initial performance at the Bottom Line in New York City. Asylum had just released Warren Zevon, and I'd listened to nothing else for days. Though I loved the record and had, in fact, been familiar with Zevon's music for years, seeing the man onstage was like experiencing – what? – Jackson Browne's "For Everyman," the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, the New York Dolls, Norman Mailer, Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry and Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer novels at an impressionable age. Rightly or wrongly, your life got changed.
The Zevons – Crystal then seven months pregnant – stayed in New York for a few days, and the three of us became fast friends. Mutual interests, etc. All I wanted to talk about were Zevon's songs, while Warren and Crystal simply brushed aside my questions and kept asking me about Ross Macdonald, whom I'd recently met in Santa Barbara. They'd read all his books and could quote passages verbatim. I was impressed. Provided it's all right with Millar, I said, I'll take you with me to visit him for a day or two. It was as if I'd invited them to meet God. Though I knew Zevon had something of a drinking problem, I had no idea then how deep it went. This was in the spring of 1976.
In the late summer of 1978, Warren Zevon and I became "blood brothers." Late one night, Crystal phoned from their new home in Santa Barbara. She sounded very distraught. Warren's drinking had gotten much worse. They'd had a fight, and he was in New York now to talk to friends: Bruce Springsteen, producer Jon Landau, guitarist David Landau, critic Jay Cocks, me.
"I know," I said. "He just called."
"I talked to him this afternoon," she said. "He told me he loved me and was coming home once he'd seen you, Bruce, Jon and David. 'Warren,' I said, 'you did see them, last night at the Palladium.' He didn't even remember being at the concert, Paul."
Shit, I thought.
There was a long pause.
"Will you try to talk him into going into a hospital for treatment?" Crystal asked. "I've already found one right here in town."
"Yes," I said, with a large gulp. "I'll try."
After we hung up, I wondered what to do. How do you introduce this particular topic into a casual conversation? Warren, old buddy, not to change the subject or anything, but have you ever considered committing yourself? Terrific, I thought. Just terrific.
As it turned out, I needn't have worried. About thirty seconds after I'd knocked on his door, Zevon announced: "I want to ask you a serious question. The answer's important." He looked me straight in the eye. "Do you think I'm a drunk?"
My reply wasn't as dumb as I'd expected. It went like this: By asking the question, you've already answered it. Your answer's yes. So why not try to get some help – a hospital or something? There's probably one in Santa Barbara. You've got nothing to lose, absolutely everything to gain. After all, if you decide you don't like being sober, you can always buy another bottle, can't you?
Warren looked greatly relieved. All he'd really come to New York for was confirmation. He'd known for a long time what he had to do. He just didn't know if he could do it.
We talked for hours that night: our life stories. Fear was a major theme. Zevon, who'd spent some time with Igor Stravinsky as a teenager, wanted to make his mark in classical music as well as in rock & roll. There was this unfinished symphony, hanging like a stone around his neck. Me, I wanted to write a series of detective novels, be the next Ross Macdonald. About dawn, we agreed we owed it to ourselves to take separate shots at it. And to give each other all the support we could. Things had gotten pretty corny by then. "Blood brothers," we swore. If there had been a knife, perhaps some blood would have been mingled.

Sergio Salas was the nicest host you could ever hope for. I rented "The Best Spot in Town", aptly named, for 3 weeks and absolutely loved it. The location was perfect for me because I love the "Chorro" area, it's far enough from Centro to be nice and quiet and very beautiful, but close enough to easily walk downtown. Just thinking back on it makes me really wish I was back there right now! The view is great, you can see fireworks at night and the apt is spacious, clean, comfortable with some cool architectural features; perfect! The kitchen is great! I had stayed in another apt previously and it paled in comparison. Sergio went above and beyond the call of duty and helped me so much with a number of situations I won't bore you with, but he was quite generous with his time. He's very sweet. I'd give him and the apt 5 stars!
Sergio is a very kind host. Not very punctual but compensates with attention. This was the last available place of his listings so I think it's not his best but still great for a couple. I would recommend it specially in summer since San Miguel is kinda cold and the studio is a little bit cool. Do visit the town and listen to Sergio's advice as he'll direct you to the nicest places to visit. I'd definitely stay with him again though in a different apartment. Luckily he's got many.
Super fácil, super puntual, el lugar esta super limpio y super tranquilo :)!
We totally loved our "comfortable room in Casa Mexicana" and it was all that the description promised and more! We wanted a truly authentic Mexican experience and we got it! Casa Mexicana is in Bario San Luis Rey, a ten minute bus ride out of San Miguel; it's a typical Mexican neighbourhood, San Miguel style. The cobblestone streets are lined with plain, high, walls of stone or brick; each home has a wood or metal gate that opens into the courtyard and a different world.
Casa Mexicana is enchanting - the courtyard is sunny and bright, fragranced by orange blossom and features the biggest, healthiest agave I've ever seen. Table and chairs under the orange trees offer an inviting spot for any meal but we especially enjoyed breakfast out there. The house is charming - immaculately clean, tastefully furnished, with some very handsome older pieces. The "comfortable room" is on the second floor, up beautifully tiled terra cotta stairs which exit onto an exterior walkway, with wrought iron railings, pots of succulents, a bench for reading (or just dreaming) and another set of stairs to the roof, from which we enjoyed some spectacular sunsets. Our room was bright and welcoming; a double bed and a twin, both very comfortable; a small but delightful bathroom with a San Miguel "skylight" and colourful Mexican tilework that extended into the shower. A bonus was a closet - no having to live out of my suitcase!
Sergio was super helpful, he and his wife showed us around the neighhbourhood and made sure we knew where the stores were and how to use the bus system - the bus stop is literally right outside the door. We spent time in "Centro" enjoying the plaza, the church, the shops and the markets and museums. We took day trips to Guanajuato and Dolores Hidalgo and steeped ourselves in the history of these places - I could imagine that I was in the crowd outside the church in Dolores, in 1810, where Fray Hidalgo issued el Grito de Independencia! And when we returned "home", Sergio and his lovely wife were often there to help us as we tried to describe our adventures in Spanish. They were wonderful hosts, we have not one single complaint - except that we wish we'd booked for longer!
Upon arriving Sergio was very patient through out the whole checking in process as we arrived a little late. The house is absolutely perfect and very close to the historic center about a 5 minute walk. A huge patio entrance and a very charming kitchen and bedrooms!
The house has wonderful terraces and it is kept in impeccable conditions. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this location and could not have asked for a better host. Sergio made sure all of our needs were met and exceeded them. Plenty of fresh linens and clean white towels. The bathrooms all have modern fixtures and work perfectly.
If I were to come back to San Miguel, I would definitely contact Sergio. I greatly recommend this listing! Thanks Sergio!
I travelled to San Miguel with my dad and a good friend, Sheila; Sheila and I had never been to Mexico before.
Our experience with Sergio and at Casa Vainilla were very positive.
Before our arrival, I corresponded with Sergio via email, and he answered every email I sent him in a thorough and timely matter.
Upon arrival, Sergio met us at the bus station in San Miguel, where we followed his car (in our car) to get to the casita. I'm sure we would have gotten lost otherwise! He helped us get settled and then he gave us a short walking tour of San Miguel.
Sergio was just as lovely upon departure. He helped us with our bags and encouraged us to come back soon! You will not find a better host!
With regard to the casita, we stayed in 'Vainilla' and were very pleased with the cleanliness, décor, and location to the city centre. There were also little details that made the stay special (e.g. a CD of Mexican music left out for us to listen to, etc.) Our stay here was virtually problem-free!
I would certainly recommend 'Vainilla' to people traveling to San Miguel, and I would - without reservation - recommend working with Sergio to find a place to stay.
We made a last minute decision to go to San Miguel de Allende for New Years and after looking at several great options sent a message to Sergio. He was the perfect liaison, not only because of his super quick replies, but also because he really went out of his way to make sure we found a place in San Miguel that suited our needs and budget.
He and his wife greeted us at the property (no trouble finding it thanks to (website hidden) Maps) and we had a great and really comfortable stay that we won't easily forget. We loved the apartment, it was tastefully furnished and had every little detail taken care of (bathroom soap, clean towels, even drinking water!) Sergio was a very attentive host, was always reachable by phone and happy to help us wherever he could.
We can highly recommend both a visit to San Miguel and a stay with Sergio!
Sergio is the best. I stayed in San Miguel de Allende for one month and he found me an amazing place that happened to be available, so I got it for a fraction of the usual price. We really became friends and he is so personable and trustworthy and caring that I can't say enough good things about him. He is now working as a property manager and has places all over SMA available. He is attentive when you need something and an incredibly helpful person. For sure, go with Sergio!
My husband and I stayed in San Miguel de Allende for 5 days. We enjoyed this very much! Just want to give to Sergio my most sincere appreciation for his assistance, he was a great host to us!. We stayed in a very nice apartment in a great location! The space and privacy were a plus!! Very close to El Centro as this was important to us. He made this possible to us and we are very greatful to Sergio for this!. With no doubt, on our return to this magical town we will contact Sergio for our stay in San Miguel de Allende! Thank you Sergio for everything!
Sergio was a very conscientious and helpful host. We were upgraded from Magic villa to another very nice apartment near Centro at no extra cost. This other apartment was fully stocked with appliances, had a nice kitchen, and we were provided a few munchies to tied us over after we arrived. Overall, it was very comfortable. Included was a pool & weight room in the complex. It was furnished in an international/contemporary style. Sergio also provided a cell phone pre-loaded with his phone number, taxis, etc. He called a couple of times over the week to see how we were doing which was nice. Sergio was available to help us whenever needed! We had a very pleasant stay and hope to return to SMA soon!

This was my first attempt making chicken marsala. After viewing a few different recipes, I incorporated a few tips into this one. I doubled up on the sauce and added a cup of chicken broth, because I used real marsala wine and using that alone gave it a real strong liquor taste. I also used a combination of fresh mushrooms and baby portabella mushrooms. Instead of cornstarch, I used Wondra flour for sauces that you can just sprinkle in to thicken it. I also pounded the chicken to make it real thin. We have an Italian restaurant near us that we always go to to get this dish and my daughter raved that mine was even better. I served it with penne pasta with marinara sauce. Thanks for this excellent recipe, I know I will be making it alot.
This was good, but after this time I will double or even triple the sauce and mushrooms as someone had suggested because there wasn't enough for the chicken. Great recipe and easy.
I dipped my chicken into egg and then seasoned flour. I browned the chicken very well and placed it in a large casserole dish as I had twelve breasts. I made my sauce separately, which by the way was tripled . I also needed to add additional marsala. I covered the casserole and placed it in the oven for about forty five minutes. Great birthday dinner for my daughter which everyone loved. Thanks a bunch!

Police Department.
Yes, I am a clerk at Heritage Oaks Bank, and theres a man outside, with guns in his car.
Sorry. We think laws preventing carrying guns in public and near schools violate his Second Amendment rights.
Thankfully, this exchange did not happen when Turner Newman was arrested March 13, sparing us another possible tragedy.
Those 27 words called the Second Amendment were carefully crafted to avoid the abuse of hucksters. Its time we read them again. If we did, we might ask some very appropriate questions, such as, If the right to keep and bear Arms, was about private gun ownership, then why did they use the collective noun, the people? Or, Why is Arms capitalized and State and Militia? Was it done to specifically link those three words?
Hopefully, we might even ask, Isnt the Second Amendment really about the security of a free State?
Read it for the first time, again, for the sake of our nation, and our children:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Canisius 82, Longwood 54
How Canisius Won: The Griffs shot 50 percent from the field, a rousing 46 percent from three, forced 15 turnovers and drew four charges -- and not a single player logged more than 29 minutes. What does it say about their depth when leading scorers Billy Baron and Harold Washington combine for eight poits and they still win by 28?
Turning Point: Isaac Sosa drained three threes before the game was 2 1/2 minutes old. That set the tone right there. The Griffs ended up making 13 shots from behind the arc and have canned at least 12 in each of the last three games.
Player of the Game: Sosa attempted 12 shots, all threes, and made eight of them. That's one off the school record Alshwan Hymes set last season.
Best Supporting Role: Washington took just five shots but handed out a season-high seven assists. He had 30 points in last year's win at Longwood.
Stat Check: The Griffs drew four charges and are up to 19 on the season. Consider this: That's more than they took in 30 games last season.
Stat Check II: Longwood won the boards, 40-34, with 16 of those coming on the offensive end. Not good.
What It Means: The Griffs are 7-2 heading into the toughest back-to-back games on the schedule.
They Said It
Griffs coach Jim Baron on the rebounding totals: "We didn't rebound like we did against Syracuse or Marist and that's something we're going to have to be more consistent with."
Baron on Jordan Heath's ankle: "We'll ice him up tomorrow and take it one game at a time."
Baron on 6-foot-10 Freddy Asprilla drawing two charges: "I got a 300-pound guy taking a charge? That is huge. You know how hard that is for a 300-pound guy to take a charge? I mean, that is huge. That's unbelieveable. Because when our guards play matador defense . . . we have to cover down and our bigs have to step in."
In the House: There were 1,205 at the KAC with the students on break.
Next Up: The Griffs head to Philly to meet Temple on Wednesday night then book to Las Vegas for a game with No. 20 UNLV on Saturday.

Three police officers injured when they were shot inside Gloucester Township police headquarters early Friday morning are on the mend, according to authorities.
The alleged shooter—Eddie Jones III, 39, of Willingboro—was killed in return fire at the scene, Gloucester Township Police Chief W. Harry Earle announced during a press conference held at the municipal building Friday afternoon.
The shooting incident occurred around 5:30 a.m.—more than four hours after Jones was taken into custody without incident on suspicion he was stalking an ex-girlfriend, Earle said.
While being processed at the police station, Jones tackled and was able to grab a gun from Ptl. Ruth Burns, then fired the officer's service weapon several times, Earle said. Burns had removed handcuffs from Jones.
Sgts. James Garber and Kevin Thyne returned fire on Jones, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities did not immediately say how many times Jones had been shot or how many shots Jones fired from Burns' weapon, which was identified as a Sig Sauer P229 .40-caliber handgun. The .40-caliber Sig Sauer holds 13 total rounds, Earle said.
"Today, our community experienced an unprovoked violent act against those who serve and protect the residents of Gloucester Township," Mayor David Mayer said at the press conference. "We are so very fortunate and we thank God that our officers are expected to fully recover."
Jones was employed by the New Jersey Department of Corrections (DOC) as a civilian communications operator. He was most recently assigned to Garden State Youth Correctional Facility, in Yardville, Mercer County, and had been a DOC employee since September 1997.
"An officer was viciously attacked in our police headquarters and was disarmed," Earle said. "The suspect attacked the officers and unleashed a barrage of gunfire at the officers. The officers responded with quick and decisive action."
Garber, a 13-year veteran, required surgery at Cooper University Hospital for a gunshot wound to his abdomen, Earle said. He is still recovering at the Camden hospital.
Thyne, an eight-year veteran, was shot in his duty belt, causing a laceration to his stomach, and sustained a graze wound to his chin in the incident .
Burns, who has been on the police force for a year, was shot in her foot during the incident.
Thyne and Burns had been released from Cooper by the time the 3 p.m. press conference began.
"I am so thankful that all of the officers involved are expected to make a full recovery," Earle said.
(To read Earle's full statement to the media, click on the PDF above.)
Garber also was shot in the chest, but the bullet was stopped by his body armor, Earle said. He also sustained a graze wound to his head.
All three police officers have been placed on administrative leave—standard procedure following an officer-involved shooting.
Police officers often remove handcuffs from prisoners at various points during processing, according to Earle.
"During the course of nearly all the processing of an arrested person, it is necessary at times to take off those handcuffs for fingerprinting, signing papers and preparing other documents," he said.
The police chief noted the ongoing investigation will include a review to determine whether Burns should have been armed at the time she removed the handcuffs from Jones and was attacked.
Deirdre Fedkenheuer, a DOC spokeswoman, referred all questions regarding Jones' involvement in the shooting incident to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, which is investigating the incident with assistance from Gloucester Township Police Department.
Camden County Prosecutor Warren Faulk indicated early investigation has revealed Garber and Thyne were justified in their use of deadly force.
"At this point, all of the evidence points towards these officers returning fire," the prosecutor said. "After the weapon was secured from the one officer by the deceased and he fired the weapon, these officers returned fire. At this point, there's no evidence to indicate otherwise."
Earle told reporters surveillance video inside the police station captured the incident.
Police are not disclosing the location of Jones' arrest due to his apprehension being tied to an alleged incident of domestic violence.

The Women's Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program that offers a student the unique chance of tailoring his or her study of women from a particular academic discipline. From the historical to the contemporary, science to the arts, WS employs the interconnections of race, gender, class, and other axes of institutionalized inequality to explore women's experiences in time and space. The program prepares students for a variety of careers as well as exposing students to diversity in both theoretical and empirical forms, thus helping students to understand themselves and the world around them.
If you are unsure regarding your semester of program admission (also known as the "catalog term"),
please see your academic advisor or the department chairperson for this information.

I have this hanging over my nine foot dining room table and it is just the right size, not too small and not overwhelming. As another review stated the ring that you hang the crystals on is a little off, so you have to move the strands around to make it work. I also added some larger square crystals on every third strand which helps to make it look more balanced. I replaced all of the wires used to attach the crystals and added silver bow tie connectors. The crystals may not be 35% lead but they are not plastic as someone stated.
The chandelier is hanging over our stairway/hallway upstairs. It's very nice, even though the crystals are plastic, you can't tell. One review said the crystals were already attached to the chandelier but unfortunately mine wasn't and it was hard putting them on, my nails paid a price for it and you can't wear gloves cuz the holes are small. Description should definitely say you need to put the crystals on yourself! There's no description showing you how to install it, but my husband managed. I would recommend this if you're looking for something contemporary.
this light was the perfect solution for over our kitchen table. i wanted a chandalier with a shade, my husband a pendant style fixture. this was the perfect compromise. i love the open feel it gives to our space, the cystals look beautiful and are easy enough to attach. everyone who sees it loves it. it also throws a great shadow onto the ceiling. we put it on a dimmer so it has great versatility. i am very pleased with this purchase and would definately recommend.
Beautiful Chandelier. I have it in my master bedroom sitting area. I did not use the rod extensions & mounted flush to ceiling. Only surprise was the beads were plastic. (Once installed you could not tell they were plastic though). Good purchase
Very happy with the chandelier. Does not look cheap. Love the rustic and traditional look of the chandelier. It was packaged very well. Instructions were vague like the other instructions I have received from overstock.com. I have learned to decipher them. I took the recommendation from other reviewers to control the tilt effect/look of the crystal strings by 1) moving the crystal strings from one side to the other to balance the weight; and 2) adding an additional crystal to the bottom to some of the crystal strings, but the tilt was still too visible for me. My DH was able to reduce the tilt by moving the inside circle around. Two days after installation (in our dining room), I decided to shorten the crystal strings to the length of the cage bottom � like it MUCH better. To me, this made it look cleaner/sharper. Also, we don't notice the tilt effect/look any more at this height � it may be an optical illusion but works for us.
Beautiful light fixture was delivered promptly and was well packaged. The color of the fixture is a dark brown with a gold/bronze paint spatter which to me is very attractive. My boyfriend put it together and although it was tedious, all the crystals hung equally in length contrary to some reviews here. The install was easy and I love the little bit of glamour it adds to my dining area. Just beautiful when lit, the pictures don't do it justice. I would highly recommend this to someone looking for something a little different in their home decor.
The pictures do not do this light justice. We put it over a kitchen table in an open floor plan and it is rustic yet elegant. The crystals, while not glass, are great quality and give off awesome light refraction. We get so many compliments on it and I can't believe how low it is priced considering the high end look of it. You will not be disappointed! I never give reviews but this deserved one! Look at the dimensions, it is pleasantly larger than expected
Need more crystals ! Not enought sent. Missing one whole strands worth!
Pay attention to the measurements because looking at the picture it almost looks like a little candlelight tear drop fixture. No, this thing is huge. Perfect above a large table. My dining room table is about 5 feet by 5feet square and wow, this was perfect above it. It has an organic feel with the touch of sparkle. Perfect for both me and my husbands style. I recommend to remove the last crystal on each strand to make them even to the rim. They stick out slightly being longer which to me looked strange. Once I adjusted it made such a great difference and looks so pretty. If you chose to do this, I recommend doing it before you hang each strand which to me was a little annoying and tedious but well worth it.
This lamp looks great in the corner of our living room! It fits our tropical decor perfectly! The lamp crystal strings have to be assembled so there is some work to be done. The box it came in was 16 1/2" X 16 1/2" X 21" tall.

Perhaps best known for his role as co-host of Project Runway – and for his iconic phrase "Make it work," – Tim Gunn has made a name for himself in the world of fashion and reality television.
Saturday, Gunn, who serves as chief creative officer of Fifth & Pacific (formerly Liz Claiborne), will debut the Juicy Couture, kate spade new york and Lucky Brand Spring 2012 Collections in a live runway show at .
"The draw of this event is that guests are able to learn from one of the best and well‐known fashion mentors in the industry," Leah Caruso‐Salak, director of Marketing and Special Events for Liz Claiborne Inc. and co‐host of the event, said in a news release. "Tim has more energy and enthusiasm during these events than anyone. It should be a very exciting day!"
"I am absolutely thrilled that I have the opportunity to host our Spring 2012 fashion event at Somerset Collection," Gunn said in a news release. "The people of Michigan are filled with kindness, generosity and warmth and I always feel right at home while I'm there."
The event is open to all who wish to attend, though seating is on a first come, first served basis. The event begins at 1 p.m. in the North Grand Court.
What would you ask Tim Gunn?
But before Gunn arrives in Michigan this weekend, Troy Patch will have the opportunity to pick the fashion icon's brain during a 15-minute phone interview later this week.
And we'd like your help.
What would you ask Gunn if you had the chance? Do you want to know what are his favorite clothing brands? What fashion mistakes to avoid? What colors are in season right now? What stay-at-home moms can do to spruce up their wardrobes on a tight budget?
Or maybe you want to know about his favorite fashion accessory, what he wears when he's just lounging around his house or what sports team he thinks has the most complimentary colors.
Leave your questions in the comments section below by Wednesday afternoon, and we'll choose the most interesting or unique questions to ask Gunn. Then, check back later this week to see what he had to say.

In this hilarious follow-up to GONE WITH A HANDSOMER MAN, Charleston pastry chef Teeny Templeton witnesses a murder and discovers that her laywer-boyfriend, Coop O'Malley, has been keeping secrets.
It's not every day that I bake a dozen Red Velvet cakes, learn my boyfriend may have a love child, and I witness a murder. After Charleston pastry chef, Teeny Templeton, witnesses a murder, she discovers that her lawyer-boyfriend, Coop O'Malley, has been keeping secrets: the victim's ten-year-old daughter may be his child. As more lies explode, Teeny finds herself trapped in Bonaventure, Georgia, a zany"little Savannah," where she must deal with her commitment phobia, gather DNA from a ten-year old child genius, outwit a stalker, decode an encrypted diary, and fend off advances of an ex-beau, a handsome plastic surgeon who's crazy-in-love with her. Teeny's life gets maddeningly complicated by a series of not-so-teeny troubles: an uneasy love triangle, a gossip-mongering tarantula breeder, an wise-cracking Southern Belle with early Alzheimer's, Coop's loveable Chihuahua-toting granny, and clues that point to the illegal trafficking of human organs. But when a suspect is arrested, the bodies keep piling up and Teeny doesn't know who to trust. As the murderers close in, Teeny unearths a revelation that becomes a game-changer and flips her world upside-down.

WASHINGTON — Republican U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers is mulling a bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan in 2014 but has some obstacles to consider: a competitive primary field, attacks on her record and a so-far meager campaign war chest.
In the primary, Ellmers would face formidable challenges, especially if two top North Carolina state legislators, House Speaker Thom Tillis and Senate President Phil Berger, decide to run.
Ellmers is calculating her options but not talking about it publicly. Although she ran as a tea party-supported outsider in 2010, she soon aligned with the House Republican leadership.
The 2nd District representative from Dunn gained exposure and a seat on the important House Energy Committee. But she also got anger from the right.
The Club for Growth, a powerful conservative political action group, for one, is attacking her. The anti-tax group criticizes Ellmers on its website for a string of votes, including one to increase the debt ceiling in 2011, which also included large spending cuts, and another for a broad funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, which included money for the presidents health care plan.
We dont like her, spokesman Barney Keller said. The Club for Growth PAC doesnt support liberals like Renee Ellmers for Congress.
That criticism is echoed on The Daily Haymaker, a conservative North Carolina blog. Meanwhile, Heritage Action, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative advocacy group, gives her a 63 percent approval rating on the seven votes it scored so far this year.
Other conservatives see her record differently. The American Conservative Union gave her a 91 percent rating for 2012.
Ellmers shares positions on key issues with other Republican conservatives, including opposition to any new gun control measures and a stance on immigration that emphasizes border security. She does not advocate a path to citizenship for those living in the country illegally.
The money hurdle
But even if Ellmers defends her conservative credentials successfully, she still would have to find a lot of supporters with fat wallets. In the first quarter of this year, she raised only $100,000.
Both Berger and Tillis have proved to be effective fundraisers. In the 2012 election cycle, Tillis and Berger each raised $1.7 million for their personal campaign accounts and millions more for their party.
I think shed be a great candidate, but I think she would have problems raising money, said Marc Rotterman, a North Carolina Republican strategist, who said that a Senate race would cost a minimum of $8 million to $10 million.
Rotterman said that Ellmers would be a clear contrast with Hagan and appeal to what he called an important group of voters, women ages 35-45.
Hagan, elected in 2008, is viewed as one of several vulnerable Democratic senators seeking re-election next year.
But a recent poll by the Democratic-learning firm Public Policy Polling still had Hagan leading all possible GOP contenders. And Hagan had raised $1.6 million for her campaign during the first three months of this year.
The same poll, taken in mid-April, showed Ellmers would receive 12 percent of the vote in a hypothetical GOP primary, ahead of both Berger and Tillis but behind state Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry, whose name has also been mentioned as a contender.
Ellmers was a long-shot candidate when she first ran for Congress less than three years ago, riding on tea party support as an alternative to out-of-touch Washington insiders. She beat incumbent Democrat Bob Etheridge by less than 1 percent of the vote.
Once in Congress, she took some positions that supported the views of House leaders in the face of opposition from some on the right. In the 2012 primary, she faced three Republican challengers who argued that shed become the insider.
After winning the primary, Ellmers had an easy race against Democrat Steve Wilkins. She vastly outspent him, and Republican redistricting gave her an advantage.
Taking on Hagan would mean giving up that safe House seat.
Shes established herself, Rotterman said. Shes well-liked by the leadership in Congress. Shes got plenty of time to run for anything she wants in the future. So I dont think its critical that she runs this time.
Staying mum on her plans
Ellmers and her staff declined requests for interviews.
Congresswoman Ellmers is praying about it, discussing it with supporters and monitoring how things develop, said Jessica Wood, an Ellmers spokeswoman in North Carolina who handles queries about the congresswomans political plans. She expects to have a decision in June.
Andy Taylor, a political science professor at N. C. State University, said that for now, the primary is shaping up to be competitive. If Ellmers gets in the race, her competitors main attack, he said, will be that she wobbled when she went to Washington and didnt deliver on the type of change she promised.
Sal Russo, a Republican political consultant with the national Tea Party Express, said he has met with about four possible primary candidates in the race in North Carolina, but not with Ellmers yet. He said the group was still talking to tea party members in the state and looking at candidates but was not ready to back anyone.
Other Republicans said to be weighing a Senate run besides Tillis, Berger and Berry include the Rev. Mark Harris, who campaigned for the same-sex marriage ban that voters passed last year, and former Charlotte City Council member Lynn Wheeler.
Morgan Jackson, a North Carolina Democratic strategist, said it appeared that Ellmers still had credentials with the tea party, and so the criticism that she was too close to the GOP establishment might not hurt her too much in a primary.
She has a lot of business community relationships as well, Jackson said. And naturally, being female in the primary race, especially when most of the candidates talking about running are males, can only be helpful to her.
He said that should she run and survive the GOP primary, Ellmers would certainly be a serious candidate in November.
Ben Ray, a spokesman for the N.C. Democratic Party, disagreed. He said Ellmers may have gone too far with some of her positions in Washington for moderates and the states growing number of independents who would vote in a Senate race.
Ray listed her vote for an amendment to defund Planned Parenthood, co-sponsorship of a bill that declares that human life begins with fertilization and effectively bans abortion, support in 2011 for a bill that would have eliminated all federal funding for abortions, and her vote against the Democratic version of the Violence Against Women Act.
With an uncertain primary ahead, Congresswoman Ellmers viability as a Senate candidate is yet to be seen, Ray said.

The following press release was supplied by the Lehigh County District Attorney's Office:
A former treasurer of the Lehigh Valley Kashrut Commission has been charged with theft and other offenses for writing checks from the Commission's bank account to himself and family members for personal expenses.
Gerald Spiegelman, 46, of 931 N. Berks St., Allentown, was charged on Friday, Jan. 25, 2013, with theft by deception and receiving stolen property, felonies of the third degree, and forgery, which is graded as a felony.
According to an affidavit of probable cause filed by Allentown police:
On Dec. 18, 2012, an Allentown police officer interviewed the current treasurer of the Lehigh Valley Kashrut Commission (LVKC), which is located at 2715 W. Tilghman St., Allentown, about missing funds. Police reviewed financial records that were provided by LVKC.
Police allege that former treasurer Gerald Spiegelman had written numerous checks for cash, totaling $25,211, between October 2003 and July 2011 from a Hebrew Family League (HFL)/LVKC account at Lafayette Ambassador Bank.
Police also determined that unauthorized cash withdrawals totaling $2,775 had been made from the LVKC account at the bank from May 2011 to May 2012.
Between December 2002 and February 2012, numerous checks of HFL/LVKC on the account at the bank had been written out to "Gerald Spiegelman," "G. Spiegelman" and "Spiegelman."
The checks totaled $42,686.
Police allege that Spiegelman also wrote out numerous HFL/LVKC checks on the account to family members. Those checks totaled $5,200.
Spiegelman allegedly forged the signature of another former treasurer when he wrote out one check for $500 to himself.
Spiegelman also allegedly wrote $9,200 in LVKC checks for personal bills to Providian Card, Verizon Wireless, HSBC Card Services, Citicorp Credit Services, RCN Telecom, T-Mobile, Exxon/Mobil.
Police said that bank fees for overdrafts on the LVKC account totaled $352.
As in every criminal case, the fact that an arrest has occurred or a complaint has been filed is merely an accusation; and the defendant, Gerald Spiegelman, is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
According to its website, Lehigh Valley Kashrut Commission's mission is to certify Kosher businesses in the Lehigh Valley and to promote Kosher- observance in the Jewish community.

It's that time of year when awe-inspiring athletes from all parts of the world converge on the 150-tall Norge Ski Jump in Fox River Grove.
Norge Ski Club is hosting its 108th Annual International Ski Jumping Tournament at noon on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 26 and 27.
The jump is located at 100 Ski Hill Rd., about 3/4 miles northwest of the Route 14 and Route 22 intersection, in Fox River Grove.
Norge is the longest running ski jump club in the country, its members say, and every year draws the world's top jumpers to its tournament. The event also attracts a large, jovial crowd of spectators - some adorned by Viking helmets and other attire to honor the club's Norwegian heritage.
Come out and watch U.S. ski jumpers compete against international competitors on the 70-meter hill.
Jumping Events
Saturday: The Junior Competition and the Junior National Championship Qualifier K70.
Sunday: K70 U.S. Cup Five Hills Tournament. Long-Standing Competition.

Free shuttle bus service will be available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday only. Pickups sites will be at Dominick's, at Route 22 and 14, and the Fox River Grove Metra Train Station, on Route 14.
Norge Ski Club History
The club was started in 1905 by a group of Norwegian men. Most lived in Chicago and came out to Fox River Grove to ski jump. They created cottages on our club grounds to give them a place to stay while they were working on building up the club grounds or just having fun ski jumping. Over the years, men and women of all nationalities have joined the club to experience the thrills and enjoyment of ski jumping.
In the early years of the club, huge crowds came in from Chicago and its suburbs to see our tournaments.
The clubs has also had some promotional jumps. Once the Norge ski Club rented Navy Pier in Chicago and set up a jump where the jumpers landed in the water.
Another big event was when the Norge Ski Club rented Soldier Field in Chicago and built a huge scaffolding for a jump event. They used crushed ice instead of snow to jump from and land on. It must have been exciting to jump from this tower at Soldier Field (see attached photograph).
