NORMAN — Amath M'Baye filled up the statistics sheet in Oklahoma's victory over Texas Tech on Wednesday. He registered his first double-double of the season with 15 points and 13 rebounds. The 6-foot-9 forward even had five assists.
And he was only on the court for 25 minutes of the 86-71 victory.
"We've been on him to play like that," OU point guard Sam Grooms said. "I'm really happy for him today. He went out there and played hard. He rebounded. He dominated. Even though he hasn't done it before, tonight he did it. I'm looking forward to that happening the rest of the year."
Anyone with a rooting interest in the Sooners feels the same way. M'Baye can be a mismatch menace when he's playing well. There just aren't many 6-foot-9 forwards who can make 3-pointers and blow right by defenders.
There seems to be an obvious indicator of whether M'Baye will put that full range of skills to use. The first four minutes have been a pretty strong indicator of the junior's offensive activity.
M'Baye, who is averaging 10.5 points per game, has scored 15 or more points seven times this season. In those games, he's averaged 4.3 points in the first four minutes and scored six or more three times.
Twice M'Baye has put seven points on the scoreboard by the first television timeout. The latest was Wednesday night. The first came in the Sooners' 74-71 victory at Baylor on Jan. 30.
The Sooners (17-8, 8-5 Big 12) play host to the Bears (16-10, 7-6) at 4 p.m. today at Lloyd Noble Center.
OU coach Lon Kruger doesn't believe the first four minutes are an all-or-nothing span for M'Baye, and he's right. In the first Bedlam game on Jan. 12, M'Baye didn't score a point in the first four minutes, but still scored 15.
"But when he has done it right away, it seems like he's had a good 40 minutes," Kruger said. "So, we try to get him started every time out."
Every player would love to have the offense run through him. OU has plays designed for every player it has on the floor. The overwhelming majority are designed for Romero Osby, Steven Pledger or M'Baye to get open shots or clear lanes to the basket.
It was a huge part of M'Baye's hot start against the Red Raiders.
"Just getting the ball in the spots I like to have them in. The shots were wide open. I didn't feel like I forced many shots," he said. "Anytime I get the ball in position to score, I want to make the best of it.
"When the shots fall like that, it gives me confidence and seems to carry over throughout the game."
Osby and Pledger have just as much significance to the Sooners on the offensive end. Getting them going early is just as important. The difference is those two seniors have shown the ability to overcome slow starts. Their confidence as scorers is cemented.
M'Baye can still be shaky in that department.
"Sometimes he gets down on himself, but we always try to stay in his ear about keep playing. Because he is talented enough to do that on a nightly basis," Osby said. "Tonight (against Texas Tech) he looked like the Amath of old. We were excited to see that and happy for him as well. Down the stretch he could be big for us."

Crusaders Look to Win Second Straight Thursday at WIU
Tuesday, January 16, 2007VALPARAISO (7-10, 2-2) at WESTERN ILLINOIS (4-14, 0-4)
JANUARY 18, 2007 - 7 p.m.
TODAY'S MATCHUP: The Crusaders look to win back-to-back conference games Thursday as they head to Macomb, Ill. to take on fellow Mid-Con charter member Western Illinois. Valpo is coming off of a weekend split last week, losing to Oakland and defeating IUPUI, while Western Illinois enters the contest on an eight-game losing streak. The Crusaders hold a 32-23 edge in the all-time series with the Leathernecks, and have lost just once at Western Hall in the last seven seasons.
LAST TIME OUT: Trailing by four at halftime, Valparaiso scored 20 of the first 27 points in the second half and never looked back, defeating IUPUI Saturday night 69-55 at the Athletics-Recreation Center. The Crusaders used three separate runs of 7-0, 13-4, and 14-1 in the second half to overcome a 32-28 halftime deficit. Samuel Haanpaa led three Crusaders in double figures with 19 points, while also pulling down a game-high seven rebounds. Haanpaa nailed five triples for the second consecutive game. Joining him in double digits were McPherson, who boasted three triples on his way to 13 points, and Igbavboa, who added 12 points and six rebounds.
LAST MEETING: A late 9-0 Valpo run broke open a close game and carried the Crusaders to a 76-64 win over Western Illinois February 11, 2006 at the Athletics-Recreation Center. David Jackson's three-pointer pulled Western Illinois within one at 60-59 with 3:43 left, but the next 1:38 was all Valpo. Ron Howard started it off with a layup under the basket and put the Crusaders ahead 65-59 on a triple with 2:35 to go. After a miss on the Leatherneck end, Howard grabbed a defensive rebound and found Dan Oppland in transition for two more points. Seth Colclasure then made a steal off the inbounds pass, was fouled, and drained two free throws to extend the Crusader lead to 10. Oppland led Valpo with 16 points.
ON THE AIR: Today's game, like every game this season, can be heard live on the Valpo Sports Radio Network, a three-station entity carrying Crusader athletics all over Northwest Indiana, and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics. Originating from WVUR, 95.1 FM in Valparaiso, the Valpo Sports Radio Network also includes WEFM, 95.9 FM in Michigan City and WAKE, 1500 AM in Valparaiso. Veteran broadcaster Todd Ickow returns for his 16th season on play-by-play, while WVUR's Mike Haase will handle the color commentary.
ONE FINAL GO-ROUND: Today's matchup pairs the only two Mid-Continent Conference teams [Valparaiso and Western Illinois] to be members of the Mid-Con since its inception as the AMCU in 1982-83. The Crusaders have been the league's most dominant program over the past decade plus, winning at least eight games in conference play in each of the last 13 seasons, including at least 10 league wins in 12 of those years. Valpo has also captured nine Mid-Con regular season crowns and eight Mid-Con tournament championships during its tenure in the league.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: Valparaiso played one of its most well-rounded games of the season in defeating IUPUI last Saturday. The Crusaders shot the ball at nearly a 50% clip from the field, including a season-best 55% (11-of-20) from behind the arc. The accuracy was even better in the second half, as Valpo came back from a four-point deficit behind a 66.7% shooting performance from the floor while holding the Jaguars to just 33.3% shooting in the second half. The Crusaders also set a season-low for turnovers with 10, while dishing out 15 assists, just the second time all season that Valpo has posted more assists than turnovers. Valpo also forced 12 IUPUI miscues, converting them into 15 points. The Crusaders held a significant edge in the paint, doubling up the Jaguars, 24-12.
USING THE FREEBIES: Valpo has taken advanatage of its trips to the free throw line much more over the past month than the Crusaders did to start the season. Valpo was hitting at just a 64.9% clip from the charity stripe over its first nine games, but has connected on 82.9% of its free throws since. The improvement coincided with the Crusaders' trip to Hawai'i, where they hit 90.6% of their free throws, a tournament best. Included in that trip was a perfect 13-of-13 effort from the foul line against Charlotte.
BALANCED ATTACK: One of the trademarks of this year's Crusader squad has been balance, as no one player can be keyed upon by opposing defenses. Three Valpo players are averaging at least 10 points per game, led by 11.8 per contest from Brandon McPherson. Freshman Samuel Haanpaa is putting up 10.8 points per game, while sophomore Urule Igbavboa is posting 10.4 points per contest. Junior Shawn Huff sits just below the threshold at 9.9 per game. Those four have paced the Crusaders in scoring in 14 of 17 contests this season.
PRESEASON POLL PLACES VALPO FOURTH: The Crusaders received 156 points in the Mid-Continent Conference's preseason polling of coaches, sports information directors, and selected media members, placing them fourth out of the league's eight teams. Projected league champs Oral Roberts registered 260 points. IUPUI and UMKC are projected second and third, respectively, while Oakland, Western Illinois, Southern Utah, and Centenary round out the fifth through eighth spots.
CRUSADER ALUMNI RETURN TO THE BENCH: Valpo head coach Dr. Homer Drew has always found places for former players as assistant coaches, and this year is no exception. Bryce Drew is back for his second year on the bench, having been promoted to the title of associate head coach during the offseason. Jason Hawkins, who served as the director of basketball operations during the 2003-04 campaign, returns for his first year as an assistant coach, while Tarrance Price, who played for Valpo from 1998-2000, returns as the director of basketball operations.
A LOT OF HANDS TO SHAKE: Pregame captains meetings at center court will be crowded on Valpo's side this year, as five Crusaders have been designated as captains by Coach Drew. Senior Moussa Mbaye, juniors Shawn Huff and Jarryd Loyd, and sophomores Jake Diebler and Brandon McPherson will share this year's captaincy.
URULE RULES THE POST: Sophomore forward Urule Igbavboa was one of many options coach Homer Drew had at his disposal to replace the production lost from last year's squad. Halfway through the 2006-07 season, Igbavboa has stepped up as Valpo's go-to guy in the post, averaging 10.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, the latter mark pacing the Crusaders and ranking second in the Mid-Con. Igbavboa also ranks second in the league with five double-doubles, the most recent coming in Valpo's win at Centenary, when he had 14 points and 11 caroms. Urule surpassed his previous career high in the scoring column against Oakland, hitting 8-of-9 shots form the floor on his way to 20 points. The sophomore, who also ranks sixth in the conference with 14 blocked shots, is among the nation's best at grabbing defensive rebounds, pulling down 24.5% of all opponents' missed shots, 28th best in the country.
BACK ON AGAIN: Freshman guard Samuel Haanpaa struggled in the Crusaders' first two conference games, but exploded at the ARC last weekend. Haanpaa accounted for 34 points over the two home contests, hitting 11-of-15 shots from the floor, including an incredible 10-of-13 mark from behind the arc. Haanpaa also had two of his best rebounding games of the season, pulling down 15 caroms over the two games. He paced the Crusaders with eight rebounds in the loss to Oakland, and led Valpo with 19 points and seven rebounds in his second career start against IUPUI. Haanpaa is currently second in the team in scoring (10.8 ppg) and fourth in the Mid-Con in 3-pointers made (2.4/game).
MAC IS BACK: Sophomore guard Brandon McPherson has stepped forward as Valpo's most consistent scoring threat to this point in the season. MacPherson scored 16 and 13 points versus Oakland and IUPUI, respectively, reaching double figures for the 10th time in the last 12 games. He also dished out six assists with just two turnovers, improving his assist-to-turnover ratio to 1.44. McPherson leads Valpo in scoring (11.8) and assists (3.3), the latter mark ranking sixth in the Mid-Con.
DIEBLER D'S UP: Sophomore guard Jake Diebler was given the task at halftime of slowing down IUPUI's guard tandem of David Barlow and Gary Patterson, who had combined for 22 first-half points. Diebler was up to the task, allowing the duo only eight second-half points. He also combined for seven assists and just one turnover in his 68 minutes of play last weekend. Diebler is third on the team, averaging 30.4 minutes per game, and leads the Crusaders in steals (20) and free throw percentage (.882).
SEASON TO DATE: Western Illinois has struggled so far this season, coming into today's game with a record of 4-14. Two of the Leathernecks' four wins have been against non Division I teams, while they have also defeated Radford and Texas-Arlington. WIU is currently on an eight-game losing streak after suffering a four-game skid earlier this season in which they lost the four games by a total of seven points. Included in that stretch was a quintuple-overtime loss to IPFW.
JACKSON FIVE: First-team preseason All-Conference selection David Jackson is leading the Leathernecks in scoring with 12.6 points per game, but has struggled so far this season, shooting at just a 38.2% clip from the field, including just 20.8% from behind the arc. Jackson is also leading WIU in rebounding (5.2/game), assists (39) and steals (26). Helping Jackson out with the scoring duties has been Sammy Hunter, with 12.3 points per game, and Jerryck Owens-Murrey, who put up 9.6 points per game through the first 16 games of the year before missing the last two.

Bobs Peppermint Sticks and Sugar Puffs have long been favorites of kids of all ages. It all began in 1918. World War I had just ended and young Lt. Bob McCormack decided to pursue his dream of starting a candy plant. In the early years, Lt. McCormack served as salesman, bookkeeper and plant manager. Before long, his knowledge of the candy field became such that men in all phases of the confectionery business sought his advice.
From the beginning the company earned a reputation for being an innovative leader in the candy industry. In the 1920s, Bobs was the first candy manufacturer to wrap candy in a new transparent paper cellophane. By the 1950s, Bobs was using the first ever machine to automatically make stick candy. The machine was developed and patented by Lt. McCormacks brother-in-law Gregory Keller, a Catholic priest. Later, Bobs began using patented box and case designs for safe candy shipment.
Today, Bobs is an acknowledged leader in confections and the largest producer of candy canes in the world. The brand is owned and manufactured by the Farley's & Sathers Candy Company.

Evangelist Franklin Graham called President Barack Obama's religious views into question on Tuesday, stating that he does not know for sure if Obama is a Christian.
Graham, who is the son of Billy Graham and the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Obama "has said he's a Christian, so I just have to assume that he is."
"All I know is I'm a sinner, and God has forgiven me of my sins... you have to ask every person," he said about whether he could say for sure that Obama is indeed of the Christian faith.
However, when asked about GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum's religion, Graham gave a much more concrete answer.
"I think so," Graham said when asked if he believes Santorum is a Christian. "His values are so clear on moral issues. No question about it... I think he's a man of faith."
MSNBC's panelists questioned the reverend's double standard, but Graham continued to draw distinctions between the candidates on the issue of faith. On Mitt Romney, Graham was again evasive, stating that "most Christians would not recognize Mormonism as part of the Christian faith."
But Graham was more willing to label Newt Gingrich's faith. "Newt's been married several times... but he could make a good candidate," Graham said. "I think Newt is a Christian. At least he told me he is."
Later in the segment, Graham also said he could not be sure that Obama was not a Muslim.
"All I know is under Obama, President Obama, the Muslims of the world, he seems to be more concerned about them than the Christians that are being murdered in the Muslim countries," he said.
He continued, "Islam sees him as a son of Islam... I can't say categorically that [Obama is not Muslim] because Islam has gotten a free pass under Obama."
Graham drew the criticism of the White House last spring when he suggested in an interview with ABC that Obama had not been born in the United States.
During that same interview, Graham also questioned whether Obama's actions and values matched up with his identification as a Christian.
"Now he has told me that he is a Christian. But the debate comes, what is a Christian?" Graham said of Obama. "For him, going to church means he's a Christian. For me, the definition of a Christian is whether we have given our life to Christ and are following him in faith and we have trusted him as our lord and savior."

McALESTER — McAlester United wrapped up its spring 2013 season Saturday, with several of its teams competing at a coed soccer tournament in Eufaula. McAlester's under-12 teams took first and second at Eufaula, and its U-8 girls' took second.
All told, more than 150 kids signed up for McAlester United, making it the biggest season in the club's two-year history. The players spread out over 16 teams ranging in age from U-14 down to U-6, with the most kids playing at the U-12 level.
"It was a very good season for us," club president and founder Sean McKelvey said Tuesday. "We played a bunch of towns that we've never been to."
New towns McAlester United faced included Madill, Poteau and Sallisaw, plus a renewed relationship with Eufaula. McAlester also went to Broken Arrow for a tournament, with five different teams placing in the top four in their age groups.
Though they didn't play in any tournaments, the U-14 Maulers produced an undefeated season. That team's roster included Jerika Parent and Rashell Nooner, two of the club's three players that have made the U.S. Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program, and the coed squad dominated despite playing almost exclusively boys-only teams.

Thank you for the great recipe. I am watching carbs & calories so I reduced the pineapple and used fresh vs canned. the pecans are good for daily "MUFA's" needed for health
This was delicious! I also added cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, and a tiny bit of vanilla extract; then topped them with marshmallow creme since I didn't have actual marshmallows or pecans. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make it again!
I love this recipe. I bake 3 or 4 potatoes and then just eyeball the pineapple and pecans. I also add a couple tsp brown sugar and chopped dried fruit such as mango and papaya. I do not scoop back into shells, but just serve in nice dish. I save the leftovers which are just as yummy.

What kind of holiday greeting is appropriate to send to someone in prison? What if you also knew that this person was raped behind bars while doing time for a crime?
That's the dilemma I faced when Just Detention International, a local health and human rights organization that fights for the end of sexual abuse behind bars asked me to pen a holiday card to a rape survivor. At a time when we are being exhorted to spend on everything from Black Friday to Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, it is refreshing to have a request that is not for money but rather less than a minute of my time to send a bit of well-deserved hope. To send some words to comfort and inspire one of the loneliest and least discussed segments of our society. A way for me to touch the life of one of the hundreds inmates who are living in fear and isolation after enduring horrific trauma while in the government's custody.
I thought about Alvin. He was just 18 years old when he was raped for the first time, while in a county jail. The second time was by a cellmate at a state prison. Last year he was the recipient of a JDI card and here is what it meant to him.
"As I read the cards telling me how I was not forgotten, my eyes got blurry, full of tears. I always thought nobody goes through what I go through. The holiday cards saved my life."
Beat that, Hallmark.
My words flowed smoothly after that. I simply went to the website and typed:
I am thinking of you this holiday season. Stay strong.
The form will only accept 140 characters. Volunteers will hand write my greeting and send it directly to a prisoner with just my first name as signature. That's it. I may have just saved another life and it felt great.
Perhaps the Dalai Lama put it best-as he usually does-when he said, "The more we work for the happiness of others, the more our own happiness increases.--That is an obvious fact." Today, it became obvious to me.
Please join me in this incredible campaign. You can write one letter a day (or more). There are even suggested greetings that will pop up if you can't think of anything to say. In the words of another survivor, "this costs nothing but can mean everything."
Anyone wishing to participate in the campaign can do so by visiting JDI's website and submitting their greeting on line. JDI staff and volunteers will send these messages – each one a beacon of hope –to prisoners, who so often feel forgotten and alone during the holidays.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — It's not often a team scores seven goals in a soccer game.
Marina Campbell scored three goals for Niagara Catholic (3-1, 2-1 MMA) in its 7-0 victory over St. Mary's on Thursday.
Christina Schulte added two goals also for the Patriots. Wrapping up the scoring was Jeana Franjoine and Madison Buchholz.
After finishing third last year, head coach Jordin Puzan expected an improved performance from her team this season, however, they were lagged by injuries to start the year.
Kendra Agee secured the shutout for Niagara Catholic as she finished with 11 saves.
Ken West 2, Niagara Falls 1
Caitlyn Burke had her hand in both Blue Devils' (2-7 NFL) goals and Beccah Meldrum added a goal for Kenmore West as well. Alexa Cupato had the lone goal for Niagara Falls (3-6, 2-6 NFL).
Nia.-Wheatfield 3, Ken West 0

Nia.-Wheatfield 3, Ken East 0

Now that the filing period to sign up for state legislative races is over, things are beginning to be a little clearer about what's to come during the impending election cycle.
Locally the main event will most likely be the 1st Congressional District race that features ). Barring a Missouri Supreme Court ruling that chucks the redistricted congressional map, both candidates remain on the ballot to run in the district that includes all of St. Louis City and a portion of St. Louis County.
The battle between Clay and Carnahan is one notable primary set to occur during the 2012 election cycle. There is, after all, a dizzying eight-way Democratic race for lieutenant governor. There are five other challengers to Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) besides Rep. Todd Akin, former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman and Frontenac businessman John Brunner.
There's even a Reynolds County Democrat named Clay Thunderhawk that's running a most-likely hopeless race against Gov. Jay Nixon. That's almost as unusual as Chief Wana Dube, a Dent County man who briefly ran for governor a few years ago as a Libertarian.
And then there are the candidates that got a little gun-shy, deciding either to skip this election cycle altogether or to try a different race. GOP Attorney General hopeful Ed Martin went through this phase before filing began, but others made some switcheroos before Tuesday's deadline.
One example is Bill Haas, a member of the St. Louis School Board who had originally signed up to run for the 2nd Congressional District seat. The perennial candidate even went so far as to run radio ads for his bid. But since withdrawing from that race, Haas has changed course twice. He signed up to run for the 5th District Senate seat in St. Louis City and then decided to run for lieutenant governor.
As reported in the St. Louis Beacon, Rep. Scott Sifton decided to run for the 1st Senate District seat. That means that he withdrew from contention in the 93rd state House District. Sen. Jane Cunningham (R-Chesterfield) also decided against running for another term, as her seat was effectively moved to Kansas City. Two local aspirants for state House seats, Chuck Brodell of Imperial and David Knisley of Wentzville, also withdrew before the filing period.
While filing is over for most contests, there is still time in a select group of races for more candidates to emerge. That's because state law stipulates that filing will remain open if a candidate withdraws from a race two days before the Tuesday deadline.
In the St. Louis area, that means more time for candidates to come forward in the races for 5th Senate District, 93rd House District and the 112th House District. The 5th Senate District covers part of St. Louis City, the 93rd House District includes portions of south St. Louis County and the 112th House District covers portions of Jefferson County.
Click here to see the full slate of candidates that filed for this year's election cycle.
Winner, winner
Tuesday was also a defacto victory celebration for a number of candidates, including some notable St. Louis-area lawmakers.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Dempsey (R-St. Charles) and Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Glendale) will not have opponents in either the August or November elections.
Various other state representatives, including Rep. Rory Ellinger (D-University City), Rep. Clem Smith (D-Velda Village Hills), Rep. Jill Schupp (D-Creve Coeur), Rep. Mike Leara (R-Sunset Hills) and Rep. Dwight Scharnhorst (R-High Ridge), also didn't get opponents.
That doesn't mean that these candidates won't make an impact in the election cycle. Many will almost certainly campaign or donate money to candidates in more competitive races. On Wednesday, Dempsey sent $50,000 to a committee aimed at helping out state Senate candidates. That could be helpful to someone like Sen. Jim Lembke, a Lemay Republican who could be facing a tough re-election campaign in the 1st Senatorial District.
Jacquelyn Thomas, a Republican committeewoman for Florissant Township, signed up to run as a Republican in the Democratic leaning 13th Senatorial District. Former state Rep. Gina Walsh and Florissant resident Reddit Hudson are running to represent the North St. Louis County-based Senate District.
Wagner meets with the pachyderms
Meanwhile, Ann Wagner, a Ballwin Republican who is running for the 2nd Congressional District House seat, will be the main speaker at the St. Louis County Pachyderm Club dinner this Friday.
The dinner will take place at 7 p.m. at Trattoria Branica Restaurant in Frontenac.
Wagner is running against three other people for the GOP nomination in the 2nd District, including former Webster Groves Councilman Randy Jotte. Two lesser-known candidates from St. Charles County, James O. Baker and John Morris, are also in the contest.
The Democratic field includes . Koenen recently stepped aside from leading the Circle of Concern food pantry in Valley Park.

The Gig Harbor Tides' boys soccer season ended in heartbreak a year ago, when Federal Way knocked in a goal in the last two minutes of double overtime during the West Central/Southwest bi-district tournament.
Davis McCall, a senior co-captain and center midfielder for this year's team, won't soon forget it.
"That sits in the back of our mind every day at practice and keeps us motivated to get farther than we did last year," McCall said.
The Tides lost eight seniors to graduation, most notably, their captains, forward Bjorne Brynestad and defender Elliott Duea. Brynestad led the Tides with 14 goals.
Still, 11th-year head coach Todd Northstrom is hopeful. He looks at three factors as the strengths of the team: speed, communication and leadership, as well as experience.
"We're fast," Northstrom said. "Experience with each other, a lot of these guys have played with each other through the years, either on Harbor FC or Washington Premiere. In terms of core leadership, I think we're strong. I think the communication is going to be a little better this year than it has been in the past."
Gig Harbor's success will come from its defense this season. Matt Stephens, who was an all-Narrows League 4A honorable mention at goalkeeper last year, will enter his senior season as a co-captain.
Stephens is confident and experienced, and he has a simple outlook on the game.
"I want to get the least amount of goals," he said. "If they don't go in, we don't lose."
The team doesn't expect to shut out every opponent, but if Stephens can limit the number of goals he surrenders, he thinks the Tides can return to the state tournament.
"We have the ability, we have the brains on the field, we have the skill," he said. "All we need to do is work together, and we should be a state contender."
Gig Harbor also returns junior Tanner Stepp, Isaac Northstrom, Jon Browne and Hunter Clarke.
McCall pointed to the team's chemistry as reason to believe they can return to the postseason.
"We're feeling it a lot this year, and it's nice," he said. "It's the same guys we've played with for a couple years on the team. That's one of our strengths."
While the Tides are relatively young, they all have experience at the club level. But playing for different clubs during the offseason and coming together for the high school season doesn't guarantee success.
"Our chemistry is there, for sure," Stephens said. "There's definitely kinks, because we all play for different clubs. As soon as we work that out, there's nothing that will stop us."

LIVERPOOL, UNITED KINGDOM - DECEMBER 09: Cigar lover Paul Clarke samples a Havana cigar in Turmeau's, Liverpool's last remaining tobacconist shop on December 9, 2008, in Liverpool, England. The UK government today announced plans to ban the display of cigarettes and tobacco for sale in shops. Many licensed tobacconists are wondering how the legislation will effect them and are hoping for some sort of exclusion, such as the one in existence where customers are allowed to sample and smoke tobacco inside. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
We may have found a topic where a Napoleon complex might not be such a bad thing.
A Tampa cigar maker plans to set a new Guinness World Record by rolling a stogie that's a whopping 180 feet long. A cigar that long would have lasted Boston Celtic's legendary coach and legendary cigar smoker Red Auerbach through all his championships.
Longtime cigar maker Wally Reyes started the rolling duties on Thursday and will finish the nearly block-long smoke during the city's Cigar Heritage Festival on Nov. 21. An official from Guinness will be on hand at the festival to certify the record.
Lucky for Reyes, Florida doesn't tax for cigars or he would surely be broke after this one.
Reyes said he and his wife, Margarita, are building the cigar in18 sections -- each 10 feet long. It should take about 104 hours to build a cigar (build?) and another eight hours to put it all together. Reyes is stuffing his stogie with 140 pounds of tobacco.
What a person would do with a cigar that long is anyone's guess, but the thing could wind up being long enough to serve as a bridge to Cuba.
Speaking of which, Reyes held the longest stogie record up until last year when a roller from Havana set the new cigar mark of 148 feet long. That cigar will seem like a square compared to the fatty Reyes has planned.
We guess you could say, he plans to smoke the competition.
Figuratively and not literally we hope. It's a safe bet to assume that with the amount of tobacco expected to be stuffed in Reyes' monstrous creation, you'd probably die after one toke.

Anal Toys from Babeland
Anal toys are a great way to learn how to have anal sex, either through anal masturbation or anal intercourse with a partner. All kinds of people enjoy anal sex, and for good reason: it feels good. Try a plug like the Little Flirt, a vibrating plug like the Pandora, or a prostate stimulator like the Aneros Prostate Stimulator. The muscles and nerve endings around the anus are highly sensitive and can feel fantastic when touched.
All men have prostate glands that can only be reached through the rectum and feel especially good when stimulated during sex. Women's G-spots are easily stimulated indirectly through anal play as well.
These Babeland products can help you get started:
- Butt plugs, also called anal plugs, are typically diamond-shaped with a thin neck and a flared base, which prevents them from slipping into the rectum. The bulge in the middle helps the plug stay in place, where it will stimulate the prostate. To find your prostate, insert a finger or small curved butt plug about two inches in and press towards the belly.
- Anal beads cause the sphincter muscles to contract, which can put many people into orgasm. Beads come in all sizes and materials, and are a series of beads knotted into place along a string with a ring on the end.
- Anal dildos — use a thin dildo anally if you like the in-and-out motion of penetration, or you can try a dildo of any size (with our without a harness) to have anal sex (anal intercourse) with a partner.

They's something kindo' harty-like about the atmusfere
When the heat of summer's over and the coolin' fall is here—
Of course we miss the flowers, and the blossoms on the trees,
And the mumble of the hummin'-birds and buzzin' of the bees;
But the air's so appetizin'; and the landscape through the haze
Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly autumn days
--James Whitcomb Riley "When the Frost is on the Punkin'"
Thanksgiving is around the corner, and while we may never see a hard frost we do get cooler days, even colder nights, and maybe a dusting of frost in the Valley.
But that doesn't mean we should abandon the garden. In fact, my alter ego Marla Stewart says this is a good time to kick things up a notch with projects started now that will transition nicely into Christmas.
First on the to-do list: clip a shrub--preferably Boxwood. With its compact, dark green leaves and thick, yet bendable branches, boxwood is trending again this year. You need only minimal crafting skills to transform the evergreen clippings into a round or square wreath to hang on the front door and can expect it to last into New Year's.
While formal parterres of boxwood rimmed the grounds of castles and manors, the U.S. brushed aside the hoity toity pretensions, making Buxus sempervirens, the common American boxwood, a favorite of the rising middle class. From farms in the East to West Coast suburbia, boxwood became a stand-in for fences while providing year round greenery.
The shrub fell out of favor in the last two decades. But post-modernists have taken to it again. The comeback kid is used as topiary, centerpieces, and landscape embellishments. If you don't have any, now is the best time for planting boxwood.
Another shrub to consider in the autumn landscape is Loropetalum. Displaying leaf colors of plum, red, and gold, its thin branches can be clipped just in time to fill windowboxes accented with rust-colored pansies and burgundy-leafed coleus.
In November, branches of Pyracantha display either red, orange, or yellow berries (actually they are pomes) against abundant lustrous leaves. Trim, and use them with gourds for a Thanksgiving accent, and then change out the gourds with red and white ornaments closer to Christmas.
With the flower garden dying back, the front entry is a perfect place to create some pizazz.
Another red-hot trend for autumn is ornamental chili peppers. They're not just for the Southwest anymore. You'll find the plants lined up at nurseries for the holidays.
Small, shiny, and in colors of red, yellow gold, orange and black, peppers can be used in unexpected combinations, such as intertwining them on a wreath form with the purple or gold sweet potato vine; or for a striking tableau, the Black Pearl variety (with black leaves and pearl-shaped peppers) can be grouped together in a planter.
Welcome guests with pots or urns filled with Coral bells (Heuchera) in shades of terra cotta, purple, burgundy, and raspberry paired with frosty-colored perennials such as lambs ear or dusty miller. Million Bells (Calibrachoa) adds pops of color and will look lovely in a tall planter trailing under a spiky ornamental grass like purple fountaingrass.
Or take empty hanging baskets line them with sphagnum peat moss and plant hens-and-chicks with colorful pansies.
A zinc tub or cylindrical black planter is a sleek way to display a monochromatic palette of chartreuse greens and creamy whites that can be achieved through using kale, Hellebores and coleus for an uber contemporary look.
Marla Stewart says--
For wreaths, use a grapevine or foam form from craft stores, or clip off the top tier of a tomato cage.
To attach gourds or leaves to a wreath, you'll need skewers, a hot glue gun, and florist wire on hand. Use straight pins as additional support to secure kale to the inside of a foam base.
Try a vintage fluted metal laundry tub to grow Hellebores.
Prune (before clipping, clean your pruners with camelia oil) and thin existing boxwood. Don't be shy-- they will thank you for it!
Use a birdbath or fountain as focal point for fall plantings.
If you've been considering painting the front door, try black and hang a square boxwood wreath on ribbon. Instant New England!

When news came down Friday that Alvin Gentry and the organization had agreed to mutually part ways, both Dan Majerle and lead assistant Elston Turner quickly became obvious choices to fill in for the remainder of the 2012-13 season.
Majerle, who played eight of his 14 NBA seasons with the Suns, had his jersey retired by the organization in 2003 and has been an assistant coach since July 2008.
Turner was an NBA assistant for 14 years with the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers before coming to the Valley in 2011. He also played eight seasons in the league with the Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets.
While both have plenty of playing and coaching experience, Lance Blanks and Co. opted to go with an unproven candidate in Hunter, primarily because of his background in player development. The result, however, has created a sense of unknown regarding the state of the team's coaching staff heading into Wednesday's game with the Kings.
"Everyone was offered to stay," Blanks said when asked about the future of Majerle and Turner with the team. "Lindsey will be meeting with the staff this afternoon and organizing things.
"We do expect that he'll have veteran support either on or behind the bench with him."
Neither Majerle or Turner were present for the Suns practice Sunday, and when reached for comment Turner told Arizona Sports 620's Craig Grialou that he was weighing all of his options.

#2 VALPARAISO (17-11, 11-5 Mid-Con) vs #7 IUPUI (7-20, 4-12 Mid-Con)
WHAT: Hereford House Mid-Continent Conference Tournament Quarterfinal
WHEN: Saturday, March 6, 2004, 5 p.m. CST.
WHERE: Kemper Arena (18,646), Kansas City, Mo.
RADIO: WVUR (95.1-FM), Valparaiso, Ind. Andy Viano will handle the play-by-play with Andrew Stem providing the color commentary.
TV: None.
THE COACHES: Valparaiso is led by Keith Freeman, who is in his 16th season of coaching, and 10th with the Crusaders. He is 301-164 overall and 172-117 at Valpo. IUPUI is led by Kris Simpson, who is 97-147 in her 9th season overall and with the Jaguars.
SERIES RECORD: Valparaiso leads the all-time series with IUPUI 14-3. The Crusaders have won six straight meetings between the two schools.
REGULAR SEASON MEETINGS: Valpo won both meetings with IUPUI this season. On January 6 at the ARC, Valpo posted a 67-49 win behind 14 points from Jamie Gutowski. Angela Dancy led the Jaguars with ten points. The rematch in Indianapolis on January 19 saw the Crusaders post a 75-52 victory as Suzie Hammel scored 22 points for the Brown and Gold. Kia Hayes led IUPUI with 17 points.
Valparaiso will begin defense of its Mid-Continent Conference Tournament title on Saturday evening as the Crusaders face IUPUI. Valpo, the tournament's number two seed, closed the regular season by winning six of its final seven games.
THREE STRAIGHT SEASONS IN TOP TWO: Valparaiso finished tied for second place in the Mid-Continent Conference for the second straight season, marking the third straight top-two finish for the Brown and Gold. Valpo won the regular season title in 2001-2002.
A WINNING TRADITION: Valpo has assured itself of its 13th winning season in the last 14 years. The only time the Crusaders have not finished over .500 during that span was in 2000-2001. Valpo's 17 wins thus far this season are the seventh most victories in a season in Crusader history.
DEFENSE: Valpo's defense has allowed just 55.4 points per game during league play, and allowed just one opponent, UMKC, to reach 70 points in a game. In fact, just four conference foes reached the 60-point mark against the Crusaders.
VALPO AMONG NATION'S BEST: The Crusaders currently rank 19th in the nation in fewest turnovers per game according to the March 2 NCAA rankings. Valpo has turned the ball over just 14.5 times per game. The Crusaders have also committed the 32nd fewest number of personal fouls of any team in the country (15.2/game). Individually, Suzie Hammel is 49th in the nation in three-point percentage (38.0%).
KNOESTER FINISHES ON A HIGH NOTE: Kathryn Knoester made the most of her final two regular season games for the Crusaders, averaging 17.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 4.0 steals per game during the final weekend. Against IPFW the senior scored a career high 21 points and registered a career best six steals, while adding 14 points and four assists against Chicago State.
HAMMEL BECOMES TENTH CRUSADER TO REACH 1,000: Suzie Hammel became the tenth Crusader in school history to reach the 1,000-point plateau on February 2 at Western Illinois. She currently has tallied 1,051 points, ranking ninth on Valpo's all-time scoring list.
HAMMEL AND KNOESTER DRAIN TRIPLES: Suzie Hammel and Kathryn Knoester are both among the top-ten three point shooters all-time at Valpo. Hammel has made 231 career treys, and moved into second place in the career record books. Hammel is 33 shy of Lynda Kukla's total of 264 made from 1988-1992. Knoester has made 127 threes, sixth most in school history.
HAMMEL AMONG MID-CON'S BEST: Suzie Hammel has also moved into second place on the Mid-Continent Conference's career three-point chart. Her 231 triples trail just Brenda Doty's 262 triples for Buffalo from 1994-1997. Hammel's 645 career three-point attempts are the most all-time in league history.
TREY STREAK SNAPPED: Valpo failed to connect from three-point range on Nov. 21 at Notre Dame, ending the Crusaders streak at 122 straight games with at least one triple. Valparaiso's last game prior to Notre Dame without a three occurred at Purdue on November 23, 1999.
BOONE SHINES AT WSF CLASSIC: Katie Boone earned All-Tournament Team honors at the Women's Sports Foundation Classic after averaging 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game for the Crusaders. She shot 53.3% (8-of-15) from the floor, including a perfect 4-for-4 from three-point range. She scored 14 points against Oregon and added 12 against Villanova, both team highs.
BOONE ALSO NAMED MID-CON PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Junior Guard Katie Boone not only was named to the WSF All-Tournament Team, but also was honored by the league office as the Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Week on November 19 for her efforts in Oregon.
HAMMEL EARNS MID-CON HONORS: Suzie Hammel was named the Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Week on December 16 after averaging 18.5 points per game and shooting 66.7% (10-of-15) from three-point range in a pair of games that week. She scored 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc at IPFW and added 18 points with five treys against Loyola (Ill.).
KING OF COACHES: Valpo head coach Keith Freeman passed Ed DiGregorio (Youngstown State, 1992-2001) to become the all-time winningest coach in Mid-Continent Conference history when the Crusaders defeated IUPUI on January 19. Freeman now has 172 wins at Valpo, and also holds the conference record for games coached (289) and conference games coached (158). Freeman also has past DiGregorio for all-time conference victories with 103.
FREEMAN WINS 300: Valpo head coach Keith Freeman recorded the 300th victory of his career on February 28 against IPFW. In his 16th season of coaching, Freeman has posted a 301-164 record overall. Of that win total, 172 have come at Valpo, 85 at St. Joseph's (Ind.), and 44 at Huntington, Freeman's first school.
NO SET LINE-UP: Due to the numerous injuries and illnesses the Crusaders have suffered this season, not one player has started all 28 games for the Brown and Gold. In fact, only Suzie Hammel has started 27 of the games, the only player with more than 25 starts on the year. There are only five players total that have seen action in all 28 contests.
BOONE FIFTH ALL-TIME IN ASSISTS: Three current Crusaders rank among the top-10 in school history in assists. Katie Boone is 5th all-time with 337 assists. She now has her sights set on Shari Toelke's total of 340. Suzie Hammel is 6th on the career charts with 265 assists, while fellow senior Kathryn Knoester is eighth with 251 helpers.
CRUSADERS AMONG ACADEMIC ELITE: Valparaiso ranked ninth in the nation among Division I schools for grade point average during the 2002-2003 school year in the poll that was recently released by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. The Crusaders tallied a 3.394 team GPA last year, earning a top-25 ranking for the fifth straight season. Valpo also was one of just two teams (Kansas State) to earn an NCAA Tournament berth and be ranked among the top-25.
BRAUN SETS SCHOOL RECORD AT OAKLAND: Tamra Braun set a new school mark for shooting on January 3 at Oakland, going a perfect 10-for-10 from the floor. The freshman scored 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, both career bests. Her shooting mark bettered Robyn Lippert's 8-for-9 night against Western Michigan on December 12, 1990.
THREE AMONG VALPO'S ALL-TIME BEST THIEVES: Kathryn Knoester has moved into seventh place all-time with 160 steals during her stay at Valpo. Suzie Hammel and Katie Boone are eighth and tenth in the same category with 159 and 149 career swipes respectively.
KNOESTER SET TO TIE GAMES PLAYED RECORD: With an appearance in the quarterfinal against IUPUI, Kathryn Knoester will tie Jeanette Gray for the most games ever-played in a Crusader uniform. Her 121 games to date currently are the second most games played in Valpo history.
HAMMEL AMONG SINGLE-SEASON THREE-POINT SHOOTING: Suzie Hammel has moved into fifth place on Valpo's single season three-point list with 63 triples made this season. She finished with 65 as a sophomore (4th place), 52 as a junior (8th), and 51 as a freshman (tied for 9th), placing her in the top-ten every year of her career.
BRAUN CLOSING IN ON BLOCKS CHART: Freshman Tamra Braun has moved into eighth place on Valpo's single season block chart. She currently has 28 rejections on the year, just one shy of seventh place and three shy of sixth place.
VALPO RAINS THREES AS A TEAM: Valparaiso's current total of 173 three-point field goals are the fifth highest single-season total in school history. The Crusaders are just two shy of fourth place and nine shy of third.
NOW THAT'S DEFENSE: Valparaiso held Centenary to just eight first half points on February 7 in Shreveport, La. The Crusaders won the game 76-38.
HOME COURT DOMINANCE IN THE MID-CON: The Crusaders have been dominating at the ARC against Mid-Continent Conference foes since the beginning of the 2001-2002 season. Valpo has posted an 20-2 record in league play at home over that time period, not losing more than one conference game at home per season.
IUPUI NOTES: IUPUI, the seventh seed, has dropped three straight and six of their last seven games. The Jaguars ended the regular season Monday at Western Illinois falling 79-49.
Kia Hayes leads the Jaguars offensively, scoring 13.8 points per game, which ranks sixth in the Mid-Continent Conference. Natalie Hendricks (11.1 ppg) and Jessica James (10.6 ppg) also are scoring in double figures for IUPUI. James also ranks 21st in the nation in free throw shooting, making 85.2% of her charity tosses.
Brooke McAfee is IUPUI's leading rebounder grabbing 6.0 boards per night. The sophomore also leads the country in blocked shots, rejecting 4.8 per night. The Jaguars are fifth in the nation as a team with 6.2 per game.
This is the third straight season IUPUI has been a seven seed at the tournament, dropping quarterfinal games each of the last two years.

Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme.

Judge Grants Preliminary Injunction in Planned Parenthood Suit
News release from Planned Parenthood:
MEMPHIS, TN - Planned Parenthood Middle and East Tennessee applauds United States District Judge William Haynes's ruling today to grant a preliminary injunction to halt the Tennessee Department of Health's decision to rescind HIV and syphilis testing and prevention grants awarded to Planned Parenthood affiliates in Tennessee.
"This ruling is a victory for the thousands of women, men and teens of Tennessee who rely on Planned Parenthood for HIV and STD testing and prevention counseling. Planned Parenthood has provided these services in our communities for more than 10 years and is eminently qualified to continue providing them," said Jeff Teague, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Middle and East Tennessee.
In the suit against the state, Planned Parenthood argues they were excluded from the HIV and syphilis elimination programs for providing comprehensive women's health care--a violation of federal law and the constitutional rights of Planned Parenthood.
In 2011, 17,698 women, men and teens relied on Planned Parenthood's nonprofit health centers in communities throughout Tennessee for a wide range of quality, affordable health care services including annual exams, birth control counseling and care, reproductive cancer screenings, STD prevention and treatment and abortion care. One in five American women has relied on Planned Parenthood at some point in her life. Planned Parenthood has been operating in Tennessee for more than 75 years.
"This decision will allow us to continue our life saving work, providing high quality educational programming with accurate health information and services," said Lyndsey Godwin, PPMET's Manager of Education and Training. "HIV prevention education and counseling empowers people and saves lives."
Over the past five years, the rate of new HIV infections among 15-to-24-year-olds in Tennessee has more than doubled. Tennessee's syphilis infection rate is the fifth highest in the nation, with 60 percent of all new syphilis cases in the state occurring in Shelby County.
"With such dismal health statistics, now is not the time to cut prevention programs that are proven to work," Teague continued.
With such dismal health statistics, isn't it counterintuitive to say the programs are proven to work?

U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander has been catching grief from conservatives and faces a challenge from state Rep. Joe Carr in the Republican primary, but not much has been heard from an old Alexander nemesis—the Tennessee Conservative Union.
The group, and its chair Lloyd Daugherty, famously campaigned as Tennesseans against Alexander in New Hampshire when Alexander ran for president. Bob Dole won the primary and went on to get the nomination.
Daugherty is recovering from an extended illness and should be back in fighting mettle by the time the Senate campaign gets under way. Daugherty said he is looking at the race during his recovery and hasn't decided whether to get involved or not. He said he has been consulted by national political operatives who have been in state to gauge the status of the race.
The TCU has often been at odds with the Republican establishment. It got its start campaigning against U.S. Sen. Howard Baker and the "give-away" of the Panama Canal. Over the years it has been a leader in fighting a state income tax and gives an "Ax the Tax" award to legislators who oppose it. They sponsor an annual Reagan Day Dinner.

Just ok
I really wanted to love these shoes. I had to return my first pair due to being too small. I got the next size up and seems to fit better. At the heel, the elastic marks my skin and it is sore. I don't think these will be very durable. I am disappointed for the price of these shoes.

---- — As St. Patrick's Day approaches, many area residents may ponder ways to bring out the Irish in their weekend. Irish beer and spirits will be at the forefront for many who are celebrating — but not just in glasses.
Several local restaurants are offering themed menus to mark the occasion, including dishes and desserts made with Irish-themed alcohol. O'Neill's Shire Pub on Main Street in Delhi has items on its menu that are flavored with Bailey's Irish Cream or Guinness beer.
"We have a Bailey's cheesecake that we make here," said Rachel Bracchy, manager of O'Neill's Shire Pub. "We make it from scratch — the crust and the cake. There is a trace amount of alcohol in the cheesecake, and the flavor really stands out."
The sweet spirit is a natural fit, but what about desserts flavored with beer?
Because of the high malt content in Guinness, the Irish beer it is often used as an addition to sweet foods. Guinness reduces to a caramel state easily. The natural addition of sugar to desserts counters the bitter taste of the beer, which is intensified by cooking it.
At the State University College at Oneonta, the Human Ecology club will offer Guinness brownies for sale as a fundraiser. The club has been selling the brownies for the past two years. This year, members will have a combination of bittersweet, semisweet and white chocolate brownies with Guinness, as well as brownies without Guinness. The brownies are sold as a fundraiser with the proceeds going to various nonprofit organizations.
And that trace amount of alcohol? Adviser Oscar Oberkircher said it's nothing to worry about — at least with this recipe.
"We use Guinness Extra Stout beer which is about 5 percent alcohol by volume," said Oberkircher, who is program director for the college's food service and restaurant administration major and lecturer in the human ecology department. "The bottle is 12 ounces; so approximately, 0.6 fluid ounces is alcohol. Since about 60 percent of that will cook off, that means about .24 ounces of alcohol will remain in that cooked recipe. The recipe makes two 7-inch pans of brownies, so each pan would have about 0.12 ounces of alcohol in it. Each pan gets divided into about eight pieces — these are rich tasting brownies — which means each piece has about .015 ounces of alcohol in it.
So why use the Guinness at all? Oberkircher said the beer in the brownies is not there to produce a boozy effect, but to lend a noticeable flavor to the baked goods.
"The beer acts as the liquid for the batter instead of water," Oberkircher explained. "When alcohol is added to food, the cooking process does diminish the alcohol content, but it takes more than two hours of cooking to reduce it to negligible quantities. The brownies will cook for about 20 to 25 minutes so about 60 percent of the alcohol from the beer will cook off. Therefore, there will be alcohol left in the prepared brownies, but it is a very minute amount per pan and even smaller per brownie."
Of course, there are many savory dishes that can also benefit from the addition of some suds.
A shepherd's pie, cooked with beer, is on the menu at the Shire Pub in Delhi, and as a St. Patrick's Day special, the chef there has created a recipe for Guinness wings. The wings are dredged in beer batter and, after they are cooked, saturated with a sweet barbecue sauce made with molasses and Guinness beer.
The Autumn Café, on Main Street in Oneonta, has long been a place to celebrate the Irish holiday, and this year is taking full advantage of good timing.
"We always do something for St. Patrick's Day," said Autumn Café owner Tim Johnson. "We have been here for over 30 years and every year we do something for St. Patrick's Day. This year, because the day falls on a Sunday, we are offering our traditional Irish breakfast."
The menu will include eggs poached in beer, served over Irish soda bread toast; bacon and sausage; pan-fried tomato slices and potatoes. A Guinness chocolate pudding, and slow-cooked corned beef in Guinness, will also be available.
Johnson said his restaurant cooks with beer because it adds a flavor that is unique.
"All of our dishes are made from scratch," Johnson said. "We buy fresh, locally grown produce and eggs; and I always buy the top-end corned beef that is not cooked. That way we can simmer it in the beer and there is no fat."
These are just a sample of what's available for the adventurous chef. The Internet abounds with recipes for Guinness- and Bailey's-flavored dishes of all varieties. Why not try one this year? After all, they say everybody is Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
