Guest Author - Deborah Markus
Some time ago, I was given a tub of King Arthur Flour Chocolate Lava Cake mix, and was very satisfied with the contents. But being a home baker, I couldn't help wanting to come up with a recipe of my own for lava cake.
(Chocolate lava cake is a gooey treat that is baked in single servings -- custard cups, for instance -- rather than in one large pan. When you poke an inquisitive spoon into the middle, a gush of soft chocolate flows out. No need for icing on this one.)
I poked through my cookbooks and on the Internet. As childish as it sounds, I really wished that there were some way of having a molten chocolate center that didn't involve unbaked cake batter.
I found it. A few of the recipes I found pushed a ball of chocolate into the middle of each cake. As the cake baked, the chocolate melted. Pure hot chocolate lava.
The ball wasn't just plain chocolate, of course. When I broke it down, I realized that the various bakers were basically using an uncoated truffle -- a ganache -- for their lava centers.
Truffles are very, very easy to make at home, and if you're not going to bother dressing them, they're simpler still. You only need a few ingredients and a little patience.
This recipe for chocolate lava cake includes my favorite homemade truffles on the inside and a simple, buttery-rich chocolate cake on the outside. Since the taste of the chocolate is so important and you're using comparatively little of it, go ahead and get the best baking chocolate you can find for both truffle and cake.
First, make your truffle centers:
In a small heavy saucepan over very low heat, melt 4 ounces of semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. Stir it constantly, and once it's half melted, turn off the heat and keep stirring until it's entirely done.
Without turning on the heat again, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter (not margarine). Then mix in 2 tablespoons heavy cream. (Using very good cream really makes a difference in taste and texture.)
If you want some extra flavor, you can add a bit of flavoring to your truffle centers. Plain good quality vanilla extract is very nice, as vanilla brings out the flavor of the chocolate. If you're making these as a winter treat, you might stir in a bit of peppermint extract or Crème de Menthe. For summer, raspberry liqueur is divine. A little goes a long way, so start with half a teaspoon; add more according to your preferences, but no more than 2 tablespoons.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a small glass bowl and refrigerate it, stirring every five minutes or so. When it's stiff enough to hold a shape, you should have just enough for four golf ball-sized lumps. Shape these, put them on a foil-covered plate and put them back into the refrigerator while you make the cakes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease four large custard cups or ramekins. Take one bar (8 tablespoons) of butter and chop it up.
In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt 6 ounces of good semisweet chocolate over very low heat, stirring constantly. (I used Scharffen Berger 62% Cacao.) When the chocolate is completely melted, stir in the butter.
In another bowl, beat 3 eggs and half a cup of sugar for several minutes, until the mixture is thick and lemon-colored. Be sure that the sugar is completely dissolved.
Stir the melted chocolate into the sugar mixture. Fold in 1/3 cup cake flour.
Put the baking cups on a baking sheet. Divide the batter evenly between them.
Take the truffles out of the refrigerator -- they should be quite firm by now -- and push one into each custard cup. Put the cakes in the oven to bake.
The baking time will vary on these, but start checking them after about fifteen minutes. The cakes will rise, and the top should be firm to the touch and faintly glossy. The edges of the cake will look cracked and rough.
Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the cakes cool at least a few minutes before serving.
These cakes can be refrigerated and reheated if you're not going to have them right away, but they're best fresh. They're very good by themselves, or with a bit of cream.

Big Oil companies make billions of dollars in profits every quarter and experts know that ethanol fuel causes pipelines to corrode. The fire in Washington was caused by a missed corroded pipeline, which is normally found during a routine seasonal maintenance, but when these specialists doing this maintenance overlook such pipeline corrosion until after it was already a safety hazard, then perhaps big oil should invest more money in fixing up their refineries so these refinery accidents won't happen every single year. However, in their defense, 2013 has been one of their better years in recent memory, but perhaps because of what happened last year. It's good to have an open mind to these kind of situations. Big oil companies are not the poster boy model corporations that you may seem to think they are, DoctorV.
When you make claims that refiners are destroying millions of dollars of their own equipment purposefully just to drive up prices, not only do you lose any credibility, you look like an angry nut.
In response to your comment on oil company profits I'd love to hear your thoughts on the following. ExxonMobil in 2011 made $27.3 billion in cash payments for income taxes. Chevron paid $17 billion and ConocoPhillips $10.6 billion. And not only were these the highest amounts in absolute terms, when compared with the rest of the 25 most profitable U.S. companies, the trio also had the highest effective tax rates. Exxon's tax rate was 42.9%, Chevron's was 48.3% and Conoco's was 41.5%. That's even higher than the 35% U.S. federal statutory rate, which is already the highest tax rate among developed nations.

I want to create a layer from selecting only some words from an mtext or text entitty.
Is it possible to highlight and select only part of the text from an mtext using a lisp routine ? similar to how Adobe Reader can select text.
Solved! Go to Solution.
To my knowledge there is no way using LISP to highlight sections of MText through the MText editor, nor determine which part of MText has been selected.
Thanks Lee,
I suspected that might be the case.
What you can do is pass the MTEXT/TEXT String to a lsit box and select the name from there.

Kudos to Lee Macs Unformat Routine
Fantastic idea pBe and a very great codes indeed .
it is good to add error trap to catch any errors if the user pressed cancel while codes are being ruuning .
Best regards.
Thank you for the compliment Tharwat.
but this code was done in haste. bunch of codes cobbled together, need to write it that before the IT group here blocks this webiste again. Its more like i'm giving the OP an idea and he can pick up from there.
and yes iit has virutally no error trapping. Hope the OP learns from it.
Cheers Tharwat
Thank you so much,
I really appreciate that.
Glad it works for you, it still need a lot of work though.
I'm pretty sure you can handle those ACT-Standards

The host Floyd Central Highlanders outlasted visiting Charlestown 81-79 in double overtime to win on Senior Night in a thrilling regular-season finale on Friday at Highlander Gymnasium.
So, it was fitting that the Highlanders' two seniors — 6-foot-8 center Codie Hamsley and combo guard Drew Hussung — spurred their squad onto victory. Hamsley's layup off a Hussung pass tied the game at 72 with less than four seconds remaining in the first overtime, and Hamsley followed a Hussung miss with 12 seconds left in the second overtime to give the hosts the final margin of victory.
Of course, Hussung rarely missed himself — he was 5-of-8 from the field, and even more importantly, 12-of-14 from the free-throw line. He matched Hamsley's 24 points as they both went out victorious on their final game on their home floor.
"That's the way you're supposed to play on Senior Night," Floyd Central coach Randy Gianfagna said. "They were huge."
The hosts shot out to a 16-8 lead after guard Jackson Logsdon nailed a 12-footer with 1:55 remaining in the first quarter. But the Pirates (11-9) roared back, going on a 10-0 run over the ensuing 3 minutes and 16 seconds to take an 18-16 lead early in the second quarter.
During the run, Charlestown guard Chris Braun scored six of his 12 first-half points. The 6-foot-4 guard led Charlestown with 32 points.
"Chris is somebody I hope can really play in college. I think he could really be a steal for someone. He's just figuring out, I think, just how good he can be at the game of basketball," Charlestown coach Sean Smith said.
It was 23-18 Charlestown after Drew Reich followed an Aaron Daniel miss with a putback with 5:22 remaining in the first half. The Highlanders (6-16) responded with seven unanswered points to capture a 25-23 advantage when Aiden Cora's jumper banked off the glass and in with 3:12 remaining.
Cora would give Floyd Central another boost late in the first half. After a long rebound, the guard took the ball the length of the court and scored on a layup, drawing a foul with 56.3 seconds left. He converted the foul shot to give the Highlanders a 31-28 lead.
Two free throws from Hussung made it 33-28 on Floyd Central's next possession. That was the margin at halftime.
The game seesawed back and forth throughout the third and fourth quarters. After an inside basket from Hamsley tied the score at 62 with 42 seconds left in regulation, Charlestown ran the clock down and took a timeout with seven seconds left. Daniel's short jumper as time ran out missed, and the game headed to overtime.
A dizzying series of events closed out the first overtime. With Floyd Central leading 70-69, Justin Conrad nailed a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left to give the Pirates a 72-70 lead. After that shot, Hussung went down the court and immediately found Hamsley for the game-tying basket and the game went to double overtime.
With 12 seconds left in the second overtime, Hamsley's basket gave the Highlanders the lead, but Charlestown had two opportunities to win the contest. Daniel missed a 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds remaining, but on the long rebound the basketball went off a Floyd Central player. Braun attempted Charlestown's next 3-pointer from about 25 feet, and after the miss, the hosts celebrated the win.
"I wouldn't change a thing about the two guys who took those shots for us last," Smith said. "Those guys have been our two best players all year, our leaders and have been real warriors. I'm disappointed with the loss, but the game was in good hands with Chris and Aaron."
Daniel added 15 points for Charlestown.
Gianfagna acknowledged the importance of the win on Senior Night.
"We've been playing well, so a win like this one continues our momentum," he said. "That only helps us going towards Tuesday night."
The Pirates will host the Class 3A sectional next week and play Corydon Central on Wednesday night in their opening-round game at 6 p.m.
Floyd Central will face Jeffersonville in the first round of the Class 4A Seymour Sectional on Tuesday night at 6.

A Christian and Muslim scholar are finding common ground and a common cause: ridding hotels of pornography.
Professor Robert George, a christian scholar from Princeton, and Shayk Hamza Yusuf, a muslim scholar, co-wrote a letter to C.E.O.'s from the top five U.S. hotel groups, asking them to remove adult movies.
George calls the letter a "small step" and acknowledges that porn will still exist. He just hopes to limit access to it.

News Article
Last week we told you that Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci were shopping a modern-day Sleepy Hollow pilot to networks. Scarcely a day later, Fox ordered it as a put pilot, which all but guarantees it will be on the 2013-2014 TV schedule. A put pilot means that the network will air the pilot or incur enormous financial penalties. Hannibal and The Following both made it onto the 2012-2013 schedule as put pilots.
Not to be outdone, CW is in talks with the people behind ABC's Missing to make their own Sleepy Hollow series. Theirs is also a contemporary, "boundary-pushing horror story" about an FBI agent named Ichabod Crane who comes to Sleepy Hollow to investigate a gruesome beheading.
With Fox's project all but guaranteed to go, it will be interesting to see how far CW's project will go. In the last television development cycle, Beauty and the Beast had pilots at ABC and CW; only the CW's went to series. The difference is that the two Beauty and the Beasts were very different: one was a procedural and one was a romance. The two Sleepy Hollows have virtually identical loglines.

NORMAN — Candidate filing for odd-numbered Norman city council wards and for mayor starts Monday at the Cleveland County Election Board, 641 E. Robinson St. As candidates continue to announce prior to the approach of the filing deadline, most positions appear likely to be incumbents and challengers promising an interesting municipal political season in Norman.
Filing will run from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The council seats — which include wards 1,3,5 and 7 — are two-year terms, while the mayor is a three-year term. So far, all of the incumbents have announced that they will run for re-election.
Cleveland County Election Board Secretary Jim Williams said the fee to file for candidacy is $50 for city council and $75 for mayor. The filing fee must paid with a cashier's or certified check and should be made out to the "Secretary, Cleveland County Election Board."
"Once they file with their check, I pick up the checks at the end of filing," City Clerk Brenda Hall said. "I hold onto them until after the election. If they receive at least 15 percent of the votes cast or are unopposed, I return the checks."
Candidates also may file by petition, with council candidates needing 50 signatures from registered voters within the ward where the candidate is seeking office. Mayoral candidates must obtain 100 signatures of registered voters who are eligible to vote in Norman.
Norman's city elections are non-partisan, meaning candidates do not declare a political party and any registered voter can cast a ballot for a candidate within the voter's ward of residence regardless of party affiliation.
Candidates must be registered voters in the city for at least six months prior to the municipal runoff election and must also live in the ward at the time of filing.
The initial city election will be April 2. A runoff, if needed, will be May 14.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Make no mistake about it: residential real estate is back in northern Michigan.
The latest monthly statistics released by the Traverse Area Association of Realtors show yet another jump in residential sales figures. The association reports 280 residential units sold in the area in June 2013, representing an 8.5 percent jump from June 2012.
The figures represent sales in Benzie, Leelanau, Grand Traverse, Antrim and Kalkaska counties.
Perhaps more telling are year-to-date sales numbers, which show 1,283 residential units changed hands from January to June 2013. That's a 38 percent jump from two years ago for the same time frame, when 932 units moved.
"It's a great market if your house is priced right," said Ken Kleinrichert, an associate broker at Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors. "It's equivalent to 2006 when things were peaking, as far as activity."
The average sale price of homes also rose in June, from $196,658 in 2012 to $219,411 in June 2013. That's an 11.5 percent spike.
"Under $225,000, you have a seller's market," Kleinrichert said, adding "above that it's pretty even."
Kimberly Pontius, president of TAAR, said "Second home activity is really starting to kick into gear."

Should You Hire Your Own Private Judge?
You can't buy your own verdict, but you can pay for a speedier trial.
Students also filed complaints against three other universities on May 22: Swarthmore College, Dartmouth College and the University of California, Berkeley.
At first blush, the term "private judge" sounds like some fictionalized idea one might find in an yellowing "Richie Rich" comic book, or something only a Donald Trump could do. But hiring a private judge is a very real legal maneuver – and one that's increasingly accessible to the middle class.
Private judges, who are sometimes neutral attorneys but more often retired judges, have been around in New York state since the late 1970s, and California since the early 1980s. In the past decade, many other states, including Texas, Ohio and Indiana, have begun embracing the concept. It's a win-win for the states and the people involved in the cases: Private judges make the court case load lighter for public judges, and the opposing parties that pay for their services can have their cases heard sooner.
So if you're in the midst of a divorce case, contract dispute or some other civil matter, and the thought of hiring a private judge intrigues you, here's what you need to know.
You don't really hire the private judge. Technically your attorney makes the arrangement, but you and your opposing party split the cost of the private judge to make a ruling on your case. So while it might sound like a sneaky, backhanded way to get the justice you want, because both parties are paying for it, someone will come out with a ruling they like, and someone won't. So, yes, you could spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a judge's services, only to be told you're in the wrong and will need to spend much more.
[See: 7 Strange Behaviors That Can Get You Fined.]
Not just anyone can be a private judge. They are appointed by the same court where you would have your case tried if you went with a public judge, and private judges have the same duties and legal authority that judges in a public courthouse have. Their rulings can be appealed, unlike those of a professional mediator or arbitrator.
What a private judge judges. Each state has its own rules, but private judges typically hear domestic relationship cases, breach of contract cases and a variety of civil cases, says Judge Scott Vowell, who retired from the bench in January and now, with attorney M. Alex Goldsmith, runs Vowell & Goldsmith, a legal firm in Birmingham, Ala., that specializes in alternative dispute resolution and civil litigation. What type of case wouldn't a private judge try?
"A murder case, or a case that requires a jury," Vowell says.
The Benefits of a Private Judge
The taxpayers don't pick up the tab. "In Alabama, state funding has continued to decline every year, and every time the state court budget is reduced, it affects the court's efficiency, and the court loses employees," Vowell says. "Private judges provide an alternative for those who don't want to wait for the process of the legal system to get around to them. In fact, as budgets continue to decline, I think there will be more demand for this."
Speed. You can get a case tried quickly – in days versus months. The appointment for the hearing is also agreed upon by everyone, rather than the individual being told to show up for a court date.
You can choose your own judge. Within reason. As noted, the other party involved in the dispute also has to approve the judge, as does the court. Regardless, that's a powerful incentive for people considering a private judge.
[Read: How to Avoid Fights Over Inheritance.]
"You get to select the decision-maker. In a public court, judges are assigned randomly. But with a private judge, you can find a neutral private judge who both lawyers respect," says Randall Kessler, a divorce attorney in Atlanta and a recent chairman of the American Bar Association Family Law Section.
The privacy factor. "Parties may wish to share information with each other and the judge – but not the public," says Fran Tetunic, professor of law and director of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Clinic at Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad Law Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

I was asked to reprise my January talk about my work on the origins of Hitler's Table Talk and exposing the (so far only) English translation of it as hopelessly unfaithful to the original German, this time in San Francisco, for the AASF. I will summarize key elements of my study on this which was published in German Studies Review many years ago. This book is especially infamous as a source of those "anti-Christian" quotes from Hitler you see bandied about. My talk on this was well received in Walnut Creek, so it's a delight to be able to again. Full details are available on the AASF Meeting page (including nearest BART station etc.) but in short, it's Sunday, April 8th (2012) at 3:00 to 5:00 PM, in the Audre Lorde Room (Upstairs) of the Women's Building, 3543 18th (at Valencia), San Francisco. There is a $6 admittance charge to cover their expenses. I'll be selling and signing my books, including Proving History. There will be a dinner after the meeting at a nearby reasonably-priced Chinese restaurant.

Hitler in San Francisco

I am quite curious about this, since I have read the Table Talk. Is there a chance of any of this finding its way online?
Richard, that is late enough (after working all night), that I may just be able to make it. I did enjoy the talk in WC, and would like to hear it again. I'll bring the movie with me!
R.J. Moore
One point: while I do not question that Hitler was a Christian in the the rhetorical sense that most Americans are 'Christians', I'd also say that his 'true confession' was Nazism which is only tangentially related to Christianity (as most post-Enlightenment politics are variously forms of secularized Christian heresies).
Since Hitler was a Psychopath and a Liar, why do we give any credence to his public statements?
But if he was a Psychopath and a Liar, why would his private statements necessarly be any better?
Tim Wille
I just unfaithfully translated this post into German and discovered that you will be paying the tab in the Chinese restaurant. Danke schön!
Hahahahaha! (Not an erudite addition, but I did, indeed, "LOL".)
R.J. Moore
Prof. Carrier says: "That's kind of like saying Lutherans or Mormons aren't Christians, because their "true confession" is Lutheran or Mormon. That's just disingenuous semantics."
That's not the kind of point I was trying to make, though I can sympathise, because the No-True-Scotssman game is something I've encountered with Anti-Mormons, for example. I am saying that Christianity, by that point, had been so weirdly secularised and deistically refined in much of the European consciousness that the basket term 'Christian' becomes rather nebulous. I believe Rene Salm has made the same point as regards to Ehrman's use of the term 'Christian' in a historical sense. Hitler was most definitely influenced by Christian theology and social thought, in ways he did not even comprehend I am sure, so the attempt by Christians to disassociate from him is indeed disingenuous.
What I am saying is that we should probably start classifying the Christianities more forensically, as they are so variagated as to often have almost nothing in common (for example: what makes New Thought and Assyrian Church of the East the same religion? Habits about what name to use for the savior, which books to rationalize yourself with, and that's about it.
I am quite interested in what you have to say about Hitler's personal and public confessional, I'm sure it will be fascinating.

Dr. Carrier,
Doing a quick search I found your paper from the GSR so I thought it might be helpful to post it here for anyone else who might like to read it. http://www.scribd.com/doc/36145204/Hitler-s-Table-Talk-Troubling-Finds
I read your Freethought Today article years ago and found it fascinating. Too bad I live too far away to attend your talk.

Well, I don't know about any of the other Brits in the audience, but I could do with some light relief after a week of political intrigue! Hopefully this will be the very thing to cheer us up. From the Oxford Book of Parodies, edited by John Gross, here is the nursey rhyme Jack and Jill, as Walt Whitman might have written it.
I celebrate the personality of Jack!
I love his dirty hands, his tangled hair, his locomotion blundering.
Each wart upon his hands I sing,
Paeans I chant to his hulking shoulder blades.
Also Jill!
Her I celebrate.
I, Walt, of unbridled thought and tongue
Whoop her up!
Her golden hair, her sun-struck face, her hard and reddened hands;
So, too, her feet, hefty, shambling…
[And a good deal more in the same vein]

The Associated Press
A circuit judge has ruled the state wrongly awarded a contract without competitive bidding to a coal company for construction of a segment of the King Coal Highway.
"The Red Jacket Construction Project is a public project and it must and should comply with the laws of this state," Kanawha County Circuit Court Judge James Stucky wrote in his decision.
Last week's ruling came in a 2004 lawsuit filed against the Department of Transportation and the Division of Highways by the Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation, The Charleston Gazette reported.
ACT had argued that the state awarded an illegal, no-bid contract to Nicewonder, a subsidiary of Alpha Natural Resources, for a 14-mile section of the highway. It contended that let Alpha pay workers less than federal law requires.
Stucky said in his ruling that the types of competitive bidding exemptions that proponents of the highway have tried to create are not allowed by state law.
"The competitive bidding and prevailing-wage statutes have been enacted in an attempt to protect against the expenditure of the public's funds in a manner that violates the public policy of the state or in a manner that benefits certain parties rather than the public," Stucky wrote. "It has long been the policy and the law of the state that the expenditure of public funds is not for the benefit of contractors but to protect employees from substandard wages."
Under the contract, Nicewonder used waste rock and dirt from an adjacent mountaintop removal coal mine to build part of the roadbed for the highway.
"The reality is, the job is done or almost done," ACT director Steve White told the newspaper, "but we don't want to see any more of these contracts done. This should prevent further bad deals like this one."
When completed, the four-lane King Coal Highway will run from outside Huntington to near Bluefield.

It's a heartbreak no mother gets over. Nearly four year ago, Kathryn Jeffers lost her only child, when the car her 19-year-old daughter Kayla Register and two others where in, hit a downed tree on County Road 214 in St. Johns County, just west of the Interstate 95 overpass. All three died.
Just last month, a tree fell in nearly the same exact spot blocking the roadway, which is a popular road used by locals to get to St. Augustine. Thankfully, no one was killed.
Jeffers says this latest incident adds insult to injury.
"It was like a back flash of everything happening," Jeffers explained. "I sit and wonder everyday how it happened? Why did it happen? But I get no answers."
Kayla's step grandmother, Nathalie Yeoman, says she's afraid every time she drives under the huge trees.
"The bigger the tree, the more I'm worried," said Yeoman.
Channel 4 walked with Yeoman along CR 214 and she showed us trees that concern her, specifically two oak trees that hang over the road near where it intersects with Holmes Boulevard, about three miles from where her granddaughter died. We were surprised by how some of them are still standing. The roots that would anchor some of the trees have now been cut to create drainage along the road. All the weight of the limbs are hanging over drivers.
Eddie Conlon, a certified arborist with Tree Medic in St. Johns County, visited the area where Kayla and her friends lost their lives to see if he thinks these trees along CR 214 are a danger to drivers. He also examined the oak trees Yeoman is concerned about, 3 miles from the crash site. Conlon agrees with Yeoman and is stunned by their condition.
"If you look behind you'll see the root flare has been cut very close to the trunk of the tree," Conlon explained to Channel 4. "If this was a tree on a property I was working on, I would have condemned this tree at the time they cut this root system this close to the tree."
Conlon says far too often crews brought in to create drainage, cut the roots that are actually keeping trees from falling on passing cars.
"It has taken the structural integrity out of the root system of this tree to the point that as an arborist, you have to condemn this tree because of the liability factor and the practicality of it falling," he added.
It's a frightening reality since so many people drive this section of County Road 214 near Holmes Boulevard.
It was a huge oak tree that killed Kayla and her friends when it came down in the middle of the night about three miles away. Two other cars hit that same tree that night back in 2009 before the car the three friends died in, was even discovered.
"I don't like that road. If I had the choice, I would change the name to 'Devil's Highway' because it took so many people's lives. The trees, and no one's done anything about it," said Jeffers.
As Conlon examined the area where the tree fell across the roadway last month, which is also where Kayla and her friends died. He told Channel 4 he's worried, too.
"You have a very large, dead pine tree easily within falling distance of the road," Conlon explained. "Definitely a danger, it's a dead tree."
He adds that all the trees are growing in wetlands, which is like a sponge, which means their roots are already shallow and spread out to hold them up. But they've been cut to create drainage.
We talked with St. Johns County Commissioner Ron Sanchez about what Conlon showed us and explained to us. We asked Sanchez if he agrees with Conlon and what can be done about the trees.
"I agree there's some down the road here that's going to do the same. I have no doubt they are going to fall," admitted Sanchez. "Matter of fact, I constantly look for trees that are getting ready to cause a problem."
Sanchez says he drives CR 214 all the time and has had the county cut down trees he's seen hanging over the road. But says the property is privately owned.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — In just a couple days we'll all be celebrating a New Year many of us thought would never come. Whew, good thing those Mayans had it all wrong.
Perhaps we're still around to acknowledge this because I ate my black eyed peas last New Year's Day.
It's a long-standing tradition in the South to enjoy a bowl (or just a bite if you're a finicky 4-year-old) of piping hot black eyed peas on New Year's Day for good luck to last the entire year. It's such a prevalent tradition — at least in Texas — that many restaurants offer the little two-toned peas for free to attract customers.
Some eat the dish as a side to perhaps a larger meal, but in my family, black eyed peas have always been the main attraction of the meal we enjoy while sitting down to the Rose Bowl.
Bubbling away on the stove with a hefty dose of onion and salt pork gives the dish a heartier taste, and though I never appreciated them as a child, I sometimes get the urging to prepare them even when it's not the inaugural day on the calendar.
I never really thought about why it is black eyed peas are considered lucky -- indeed I didn't realize it was a Southern thing for a long time -- until some friends from Buffalo came to visit me one New Year's when I was living in Denton, Texas.
I had plans to make them the typical New Year's spread, complete with cornbread and stalks of green onion to be eaten straight and raw. They asked about how the tradition started and some Googling led us to a couple explanations.
Wikipedia tells us black eyed peas symbolize prosperity because they swell when they cook. So, would any bean or pea work then?
Many other sources tell us the tradition stems from the Civil War era. Back then black eyed peas were called cowpeas because they were used mostly as cattle feed. Some areas of the country still refer to them as such.
Toward the end of the Civil War, and indeed after, some parts of the South were low on supplies, or had none at all. Supply lines were cut, and crops were often stolen or destroyed ... except for the lowly cowpea. They nourished some Southerners even when there was nothing left to eat during the days of reconstruction.
These days, it would seem, many Southerners don't even make the connection between the tradition and its Civil War roots. Heck, I had no idea, and neither did my family when I told them.
But the tradition survives. And now, it's even expanding a little northward thanks to that fabulous New Year's dinner I prepared all those years ago. My friends from Buffalo now live in Brooklyn, and we're now in the tradition of taking and sending photos of our respective pots of luck bubbling away on the stove.
Enjoy, and good luck in the New Year!
Lucky black eyed peas
1 one-pound bag of dry black eyed peas
1 large white onion, cut into large chunks
1 package of salt pork, cut into large chunks
salt and pepper to taste
Soak black eyed peas in water overnight to soften and lessen cooking time.
Drain and rinse from the water you soaked them in.
Place in large pot along with onions and salt pork. Cover with water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low heat or simmer ... you'll want to keep them slightly boiling.

KFC Botswana has begun the process to source their ingredients locally.
Earlier in the year, the fast food outlet announced an expansion plan that will see them opening more outlets across the country, and more importantly sourcing their ingredients from local suppliers.
Before undertaking the expansion initiative, KFC undertook an intensive audit of their local suppliers to identify and fill any gaps to meet the health and food safety standards set by KFC Worldwide.
Despite the good intentions behind the audit, outlets countrywide were negatively affected.
"The audit process highlighted gaps that suppliers had to comply with before they could be approved as a supplier to KFC. There were therefore no "shortage" but merely bringing suppliers up to the KFC world class standard," says KFC Marketing Manager, Annamarie Theron.
Suppliers have since been approved as 'best in class', allowing them to supply the restaurant chain with locally produced vegetables.
In order to ensure sustainability and consistency, KFC has also appointed a Quality Assurance Manager to work closely with suppliers.
Although KFC is eager to source their ingredients locally, they have also emphasized that all suppliers must meet their international standards.
"If any of the products or ingredients does not meet the KFC standards, we will not allow this into the restaurants as we will never put our customers at any risk," adds Theron. KFC's decision to source ingredients locally will boost Botswana's agricultural sector.

A trip to Kmart has many peaks and valleys.
Peaks, because you get to see displays like the one pictured above (in a Buzz file photo) and hear, for real, the legendary announcement: "Attention Kmart shoppers."
Valleys, because you might have to visit the, ahem, powder room.
Last night, not pretty. We are talking the Kmart at Hertel and Delaware. Bravely, Buzz and a girlfriend made the trip to the back of the store. The friend was actually the one who had to visit the, ahem, powder room. Buzz went along as moral support. Which, as it turned out, was needed!
The bathroom was back near layaway. Walking in, it did not look that bad. But then our friend opened one stall door. Oh, no!
Backing away, she opened another. Oh, no!!! Again!!
There was still Door No. 3.
"Please, Door No. 3!" she cried. "You're my only hope!"
Alas, the horrors behind Door No. 3 were beyond description.
However perhaps the trip was worth it to see this notice on the bathroom wall.
And these notices in the sink.
Ha, ha! It was like Crystal Beach when Buzz was little. We would have to visit the little girls' room and our dad would command us, "Don't touch anything!"
One day we will look back on Kmart the same way.
It is a classic!
