FORT WORTH — A woman and one of her twin daughters were killed early Friday when a fire swept through a friend's home in north Fort Worth where they had been staying."I woke up by my dad's screams," said 19-year-old Amalia Ramirez, whose neighboring home also caught fire and was destroyed."He was screaming, saying to wake up, that the house was on fire. I went to the living room, and I saw the house next door was on fire. I went back to my room, I grabbed my little sister, and we all made sure everyone was out of the house," Ramirez said.Standing outside in the freezing cold, wearing just shorts and a T-shirt, Ramirez watched as her neighbor tried desperately to re-enter his own burning home."He kept trying to go inside the house, I guess to try to save the little girl and the lady, but it was too late already," Ramirez said. "His hands were already burned. The flames were already [everywhere]. It was too late."Relatives later identified the deceased as 36-year-old Elvia Arriola and her daughter, 6-year-old Gabriela Segoviano.Gabriela's twin, Abigail, escaped the fire along with the home's two residents.Ramirez said her neighbor's wife clutched Abigail outside the burning home, screaming and trying to shield the girl from what was happening."She was just covering her eyes, just trying not to [let her] see what was going on," Ramirez said.'I still don't believe it'Tim Hardeman, a Fort Worth Fire Department spokesman, said investigators are still determining what caused the blaze.Fire units were dispatched to the home in the 2600 block of Market Avenue about 1:50 a.m.They found a small house ablaze, with flames extending to the house next door."When our firefighters got on scene, their first efforts were to put out the second house because there was so much fire in the first house that it did not appear that anyone inside would still be alive," Hardeman said.A resident of the home told firefighters that he cut his hand trying to save the woman and child. His wife reportedly suffered minor burns, Hardeman said. Both were taken to a Fort Worth hospital along with Abigail, who was later released to relatives. The bodies of Arriola and Gabriela were found together, inside a doorway of a room near the front of the house. "I still don't believe it," said Rebecca Arriola, Elvia Arriola's cousin.Rebecca Arriola said she believes her cousin was trying to rescue Gabriela when the mother and daughter died in the blaze. "She was a wonderful mother," Rebecca Arriola said. "She was so good with her kids. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for them. … I still don't believe it."Father was out of townElvia Arriola and her husband had three older boys, ranging from 13 to 20, and both were excited, and a little nervous, when they were blessed with twin girls, her cousin said. The children's father is an electrician and was out of town for work when his wife and daughter were killed. "They loved those kids and they loved each other," Rebecca Arriola said.She said she doesn't know why her cousin, who lives in far north Fort Worth, was spending the night with her daughters at her friends' house."I don't understand why she was over there," she said.Rebecca Arriola said the twins, known as Gabby and Abby, were not identical. Gabby had light brown curls while Abby has straight dark brown hair."Gabby was more like a girlie-girl," Arriola said. "Abby was more like a little tomboy, more about playing with the boys."'We're going to be here to help her'On Friday afternoon, Abby was playing with other children at a relative's home, not yet aware of the loss she had suffered."I don't know how she's going to react later on when she doesn't see them, when she finds out they're gone completely," Arriola said. "We're going to be here to help her."Ramirez said she and her family are staying with an aunt while they try to get back on their feet. Her father's Chevrolet pickup was destroyed in the fire. Two other cars, one belonging to Elvia Arriola and the other to Ramirez's neighbor, were severely damaged.Losing her home and everything in it is devastating, Ramirez said, but she is heartbroken over the loss of life next door."Especially the little girl," she said.

Lethal Lollipop: Android 5.0's built-in opt-in kill switch
Google has just unleashed Android 5.0, lovingly called Lollipop, and everyone is happy. Well, not exactly everyone. Those rooting for rival mobile platforms will probably be amused at a bigger target of criticism. Those who still don't believe in smartphones or tablets are unlikely to care. But if there would be anyone with the biggest frown on their faces, it could be potential thieves, thanks to Google's most recent moves to step up the crusade to combat and deter smartphone theft. But are they really enough?

- Hidden GemTKnoxDined on 10/18/2014Doesn't look like much from the outside, but that's part of the charm. The crowd... the history... the staff... and the food all make it worth it! I've been coming here for 20 years and indoctrinated two friends this past weekend and we are still texting about how great it was. The NY Strip Fiondella... nuts how good it is.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun Atmosphere and Great ServicemstaudingerVIPDined on 8/31/2014What a fun place for an evening drink or to soak in the Santa Monica "dive bar" scene. Staff is very attentive and friendly. We went stopped in on a very hot, humid evening and without A/C this place was just too hot to eat food; the food itself was OK and maybe without the heat the food might make 3 stars. Overall this is a fun place and we would go there again. thank you to Open Table for helping us find this cool place.Special Features:
- Always good...pkeenanVIPDined on 8/5/2014This is a Santa Monica institution. Classic decorum. Always "regulars" at the bar. Great, simple menu. Old School adult beverages. If you're visiting Santa Monica, this place should be on your "must visit" list. It's right next to the new Tongva Park which is incredibly beautiful. C'mon! Let's go!Special Features:
- Wonderful dive bar/restaurant!!luvtohangoutDined on 8/2/2014This place is more "dive bar" than restaurant, but it has a sense of humor with the french offerings on the menu. The food is solid and in places quite good, but perhaps a bit pricey. Come for the beer, and stay for the beer. :) No air conditioning, but who cares. That crowd doesn't belong here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!canyodlDined on 7/31/2014The atmosphere of this neighborhood restaurant is very retro. The food was excellent! We had the mahi mahi special, fillet minion and steak and shrimp and they were all great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 132 reviews are from the Chez Jay reviews archive.
- Didn't meet expectationKirkstylesDined on 7/25/2014The reviews of Chez Jay did not reflect my experience. Sure the staff were friendly and the bar has a certain vibe, but the food was average at best!
- MemoriesNoelDined on 7/23/2014A trip down memory lane...been coming since late sixtiesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden pearlKolbyoneDined on 7/15/2014Not hidden in the sense of hard to find, but should not be judged by exterior looks. Inside is friendliness, good service and great food. Feels like anybody could be walking in. Like!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New favorite local bar/restaurantEastMeetsWestDined on 6/30/2014delicious steaks and manhattans. a great mix of older and younger crowd. mainly localsSpecial Features:
- Date night at Chez JayDinenameDined on 6/29/2014Always wanted to try the local place. Right across from the beach, old school streak house, hole in the wall. Excellent service, good food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Similar to other landmark restos...AmandaVIPDined on 6/28/2014It rests on its laurels. From our poor elderly waiter who quite literally had Alzheimer's. Three times asked by him if we were ready to order right after we had ordered.... Three bread baskets left on the table, no silverware, no water despite numerous asks. (I empathize if this is loyalty to an elderly employee, but have the decency to provide back up support for him. No other waitstaff came to our table to help) There were only two other tables occupied in the restaurant. One of which was an obnoxious drink family with several people who should have not been served alcohol after a certain point, like as in screaming and being unable to walk....was great to watch them go to the valet to get their car......My rare steak was grey and rubber.
- VERY PLEASANTPerfectDined on 6/27/2014Friends' birthday and likes Chez Jay - very good prices, ample servings of food and lively. Great evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ChrisVIPDined on 6/27/2014A bar feel more than a restaurant. Super casual dinning
- Fun w/ panache!QuissieVIPDined on 6/25/2014We had a fun evening here which started w/ a great cocktail at the bar. Then had a very good meal of Sandabs which were lovely!Special Features:
- Love this neighborhood gem!ChowGirlDined on 6/11/2014Fun, funky, friendly hangout. Great food. Beach adjacent. This is old Santa Monica at its best. Dinner? Get the sand dabs.Special Features:
- Great night out!TessDined on 5/17/2014My husband and I had a ton of fun and good food at Chez Jay! Definitely recommend it for someone looking for a fun and relaxed bar-type environment but still good, fresh food. Will definitely be back!Special Features:
- lotta funoccdocVIPDined on 5/17/2014good steaks lotta fun good steaks lotta fun good steaks lotta fun lotta fun lotta fun nothing more to saySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DaveVIPDined on 5/10/2014Good steaks, service was good. A nice small neighborhood bar & restaurant. We will be back again.Special Features:
- DiveBigFoodVIPDined on 5/4/2014Awesome dive bar that happens to have good food. Don't go to Chez Jay if you are looking for hip, trendy, or fancy. It's a small, dark place to have a few whiskeys and a burger when you get tired of the usual tourist scene.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classic "Dive" but pretty goodLilTigerDined on 4/22/2014I found this place and thought it looked interesting. Didn't know it was a dark tiny local dive. The place is really small and dark but it fits the old Santa Monica beach area perfectly. It's a step back in time. Mainly locals. The outside of the building is old and I doubt most tourists would dare take a step inside. The food was pretty decent. I know my three friends enjoyed theirs. I had their daily special of sea bass. Unfortunately it was over cooked and the tomato "sauce" did not marry well with the fish. Prices were all inclusive so that was a plus. I will definitely go back.

It's difficult to write a review because I don't come here for the food but because it's one of the last neighborhood old-time places in Santa Monica and because it has nostalgic value for me. The food is just OK - butter steak I ordered had way too much gristle, potato that was supposed to be baked was micro-waved. Service, however, was really good as was my mojito.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- I couldn't recommend this placeOutstandingVIPDined on 2/8/2014The food was not very good, the service was pretty sad and they try to be rude because it's funny. The server actually dropped my steak on the table and then served it to me "It's OK because it fell on the menu" I didn't care I just wanted to eat and get out of there. Everything is bacon, meat, butter and more bacon. Just not good quality in any way.

NDC elects Alhaji Imoro Yakubu as candidate for Kumbungu by-election
The incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC) has elected a former Member of Parliament (MP), Alhaji Imoro Yakubu Kakpagu, as candidate for the April 30 by-election to be held in the Kumbungu Constituency.
Alhaji Kakpagu polled 170 votes to win the primaries held over the weekend.
Alhaji Kakpagu's votes were 86 more than his closest contender Dr Jacob Yakubu Mahama while Abubakari Mohammed and Hamza Adam Abdulai polled 14 and 12 votes respectively. Baba Ibrahim came last with nine votes.
The Kumbungu seat became vacant after it was abdicated by Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni, who took up a new appointment as the Secretary General of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States.
Meanwhile, sources close to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) say the party will boycott the by-elections just like it did regarding the Akatsi South and Buem by-elections as a result of the petition some members of the party's leadership has filed at the Supreme Court regarding results of the 2012 Elections

Eastwood softball sweeps Akron's Rock Fire Tourney
Eastwood softball went a perfect 3-0, outscoring opponents by a combined score of 39-2, to win the Rock-N-Fire Tournament hosted by the Akron Racers at Firestone Stadium and Pony Field. Firestone Stadium is the site of the state tournament.
Because of rain Friday, all three games were shortened to five innings and played on Saturday, but the mercy rule would have taken effect to shorten two of Eastwood's games anyways.
Eastwood improved to 17-0 with the three wins and a 6-0 Northern Buckeye Conference victory over Lake Wednesday, but was still unranked in the statewide coaches' poll heading into the Akron tourney.
In the opening game of the Akron tourney, Eastwood defeated Akron Hoban 8-1 as Michaela Bunge went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBIs. Anna Rahrig went 2-for-3 and Marissa Tudor had a double and three RBIs.
In the circle, Sam Shirling allowed four hits, struck out three and walked one, while her defense did not make an error. Hoban scored its only run in the fourth and Eastwood had two runs in the second and three in both the third and fourth innings. The Eagles did not bat in the fifth.
Then, the Eagles pounded out 14 hits in an 18-0 rout over Gates Mills Hawken. Riley Patterson pitched the shutout, allowing three hits, striking out nine and walking no one.
Mackenzie Albright was 3-for-3 with two doubles and a triple, Rahrig was 3-for-4 with a double, Morgan Getz was 2-for-3 with a double, Krista Jennings was 2-for-4, and Cassidy Rolf was 2-for-2.
The Eagles had a 10-run second inning, and also put up four runs in both the first and third innings. They were also beneficiaries of five walks and five errors by Hawken, while Eastwood had just one error in the field.
In the final game of the day, Eastwood took a 6-0 lead after two innings, Peninsula Woodridge got its only run in the third, and the Eagles added two more in the fourth and five in the fifth to rout the Bulldogs 13-1.
Shirling returned to the circle, striking out four, walking one, and allowing three hits. At the plate, the Eagles had 13 hits.
Getz was 3-for-4 with a double, Tudor 2-for-4 with three RBIs, Rahrig 2-for-4, Rolf 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs, and Jennings had a double.
No results found.

Wow! Everything from singing, dancing to K-9 Demonstration. Let us not forget those fantastic Misters, to help cool down all those walking in support of our loved ones who are experiencing cancer, succumbed to it's effects or by the grace of God have survived it's invasion.
I had the pleasure of meeting several people while walking around the Vacaville High School track who were truly inspirational, one who was walking on a twisted ankle who already put in 8 miles, another which had already tracked over (are you ready for this!) 35 miles!, 2 women which despite denial were obviously Power Walkers, as I had difficulty keeping up -- I swear I heard them snickering as they looked back at me inhaling their dust as they blazed by! Then came the most inspirational moment of all! I witnessed a true lady, who gracefully and with destined courage going around the track on Crutches! On Crutches! I was touched to my very Soul!
As many know, I also have a son who went through this horrific disease and survived.

The main rivers of the ecoregion are the Cuyuni, Mazaruni, Potaro, Rupununi, and Essequibo.
Tropical and subtropical upland rivers
Guyana, Venezuela
This ecoregion includes the entire Essequibo River basin in Guyana and part of southeastern Venezuela where it drains the eastern margin of the Guiana Shield (source at 600 m) and low country south of the Orinoco Delta. The Essequibo is separated from the Caroní (Orinoco Basin) in the west and southwest and Branco (Amazon Basin) to the south by moderate divides of little more than 500 m elevation. It is also separated from adjacent small rivers of coastal Guyana by low divides of only a few meters. It is limited to the east by the drainage divide between the Essequibo and Demerara rivers.
Atlantic Ocean
The main rivers of the ecoregion are the Cuyuni, Mazaruni, Potaro, Rupununi, and Essequibo.
The ecoregion encompasses a low coastal plain, forested hills, and highlands. Some of the ranges include the Pakaraima, Kanuku, and Acarai mountains, from which the Essequibo River rises. Elevations range from sea level to nearly 2400 m asl.
According to Köppen (1936), the majority of this ecoregion falls within the tropical rainforest (Af) zone, which experiences little seasonal variation in temperature. Mean annual temperatures range from 16 °C in the highlands to over 27 °C in the lower moist forests. Mean annual precipitation ranges between 1000–3800 mm.
The uplands include moderate gradient small streams and rivers with rapids and cataracts. Kaieteur Falls (251 m) on the Potaro River is impressive with a flow rate of 663 m³/s. Along the coastal plain are low gradient rivers, lakes, and swamps with seasonal flooding.
Moist forests cover a majority of the ecoregion, with marsh forests along rivers.
The Essequibo is a biogeographically complex basin that hosts both endemics and species otherwise distinct from neighboring river systems to the east (Atlantic coastal drainages), west (Orinoco), and south (Amazonas). A recent compilation of species using Cloffsca and the CAS database lists over 310 described species, of which 58 are considered endemic.
The Essequibo contains 58 endemic species including a handful of Rivulus species (Rivulidae), Bryconamericus hyphesson (Characidae), Lithogenes villosus, and Parotocinclus collinsae (Loricariidae). Bryconops colaroja (Characidae) is endemic to the Cuyuní Basin (Chernoff & Machado-Allison 1999) and the monotypic Mazarunia mazarunii (Cichlidae) is known only from the Upper Mazaruni (Kullander 1990). Farlowella rugosa is near-endemic to this ecoregion and the Guianas [311]. Endemic genera are: Acanthocharax, Mazarunia, and Skiotocharax.
The only goliath catfish that occurs in this ecoregion is the Laolau catfish (Brachyplatystoma vaillantii).
The ecoregion contains the potamadromous barred sorubim (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum).
The type locality of the enigmatic genus Lithogenes (Eigenmann 1909) is known from a single cataract (Chenapou Falls) on the Upper Potaro above Kaieteur Falls. Lithogenes is alternately considered the most primitive member of the family Loricariidae (e.g. Schaefer 1987) or a species of Astroblepidae (Nijssen and Isbruucker 1986; J. Armbruster, pers. comm.), the sister family to Loricariidae otherwise restricted to high-elevation Andean streams. Another interesting catfish genus, Corymbophanes (Loricariidae), also is known only from the Upper Potaro River above Kaieteur Falls (Armbruster et al. 2000). Corymbophanes contains two species, C. andersoni and C. kaiei, that are morphologically adapted for separate habitats, large-river cataracts and small-creek riffles, respectively. Its primitive position among loricariid catfishes and apparent endemism suggest that Corymbophanes is a relict of the original fauna of the Guiana Shield (Eigenmann 1912; Armbruster et al. 2000). Another relict species is the arapaima (Arapaima gigas) from the bonytongue family, Arapaimidae. Growing more than two meters in length it is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world.
This ecoregion lies in the Guyanan ichthyographic province outlined in Ringuelet (1975) and more broadly within the Guyanan-Amazonian ichthyographic region (Gery 1969; Ringuelet 1975). It has a unique composition of endemic Guiana Shield taxa that are considered the most primitive sister groups to many fish taxa in South America.
Fair in larger rivers, still poor in headwaters and small streams.

Anyone recently shopping for a four-cylinder Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain has probably discovered they're not easy to come across. Automotive News reports that General Motors has a shortage of the 2.4-liter powerplants and the company can't say when that might improve.
Still want an Equinox or Terrain? If you're willing to give up a few miles per gallon, Chevrolet dealers are offering $1,000 off V6 models to get them out the door. On the Equinox LT, the V6 is a $1,500 option. Not a bad discount if you were already shopping for one of the more powerful CUVs.
Just keep in mind that the EPA says that four-cylinder models get 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway while the six-cylinder musters just 17/24. The EPA further notes that translates into about a $600 increase in your estimated yearly fuel bill. And in terms of performance, in our testing, we actually preferred the four-cylinder over the V6.
If you have your heart set on a four-cylinder Equinox or Terrain, a GM spokesperson says the automaker is working with suppliers to increase production of the smaller engine and they hope to meet demand soon.

Yankees complete three-game sweep of Mariners
The Yankees' Derek Jeter went 3 for 4 with two runs scored and two RBI, along with about six standing ovations, to lead New York to a 6-3 win on Macklemore bobblehead night.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Texas @ Mariners, 7:10 p.m., ROOT Sports
After a gushing ceremony on Tuesday and countless standing ovations over three days, the Derek Jeter retirement tour is finally exiting town, leaving behind a destructive path of three straight losses for the Mariners in their own park.
Jeter and his band — the New York Yankees — came, saw and dominated in a sweep of Seattle.
The last game he played in Safeco Field was productive, much like the whole series. The Yankees' captain went 3 for 4 with two runs scored, two RBI along with about six standing ovations to lead New York to a 6-3 win.
In three games, Jeter went 7 for 12 with four runs scored, two RBI and two walks while being showered with almost excessive adulation for his every move.
It made getting swept that much more galling for the Mariners, who hadn't lost three straight games since May 13-17, when they had a four-game slide with two losses to the Rays and two to the Twins.
But after an eight-game losing streak earlier this season, manager Lloyd McClendon says his team won't panic.
"It's not the end of the world," he said. "It was a tough series. I just told my players, 'Be ready for tomorrow.' It's tough. It's baseball. That's the way it happens sometimes. We've been there before. We know we can survive it. We'll be ready to play tomorrow."
A packed crowd of 40,596, probably at least 40 percent Yankees fans — most of them clutching commemorative bobbleheads of local rapper Macklemore — saw a game that was pretty much decided after four innings.
In their second time seeing Seattle starter Roenis Elias this season, the Yankees were ready for him.
Back on May 1 at Yankee Stadium, Elias had 10 strikeouts in a 4-2 win.
On Thursday, he'd already given up two runs just three batters into the game.
Yankees hitters weren't fooled this time. They took advantage of Elias' command issues.
With one out in the first, Jeter dumped a single into right field as he's done so many times in his career. Jacoby Ellsbury gave New York a quick 2-0 lead, hammering a line drive into the seats for a two-run homer.
"It was just a fastball and he hit a home run, what can I say," Elias said.
Elias worked a 1-2-3 inning in the top of the second and his teammates cut the lead in half with Logan Morrison belting his first homer of the season, lining a solo shot over the right-field wall. It was a big step for Morrison after missing basically the first two months with a hamstring injury.
"It's pretty cool," Morrison said. "It's definitely not the way I envisioned things going."
Thursday was Elias' shortest start of the season.
"I thought he had good stuff," said catcher Mike Zunino. "I think with the big crowd maybe he was a little excited and let that get the best of him."
"He didn't have command of his pitches," manager Lloyd McClendon said.
Elias allowed six runs on six hits with three walks and four strikeouts in 31/3 innings. "It's baseball," he said. "Sometimes you get the results you want. Sometimes you don't."
The Mariners shaved a run off the lead in the fifth inning. Brad Miller doubled and later scored on James Jones' one-out single to make it 6-2. Seattle should have had another run, but Ellsbury made a fantastic leaping catch, crashing into the wall on a Robinson Cano drive.

SAN CARLOS PARK, Fla.- Lee County Sheriff's deputies moved quickly to catch two male suspects involved in a home invasion that took place on Laurel Valley Rd. Monday afternoon.
The call came in just before 2:30 p.m. LCSO says the two men being held for the robbery didn't get very far. They did make their way into a house, but were arrested a short time later.
According to the arrest report, Ross Shutak and Raymond Smith entered the 77 year old woman's home through an unlocked sliding glass door. They asked for one hundred dollars and threatened to shoot her, but did not display a gun. She says the suspects rummaged through her property and took about 37 dollars in cash and two bottles of medication.
The woman was able to grab a cell phone and call 9-1-1. At that point, the suspects ran off.
Deputies found the men matching the victim's description approximately half a mile down the road from her home.

Okay, friends. The holiday season is upon us. No, this season need not be about gifts or material possessions – unless you want it to be (wink), in which case it's time you put together your Paleo Gifts wish list!
Everything on this list has changed my life/saved my fingers/made me suck less at cooking, so they're surely perfect for the Paleo/Primal/Real Foodie in your life.
Here's the short stack, in case reading my blather ain't your thing:
- Salad Shooter
- Spiralizer
- Chop Wizard
- Leg Lamp (not Paleo, or under $30, but whatevs.)
Be sure to read to the end for a chance to win some goodies!
(And, if you're awesome, you can get the last item on the Paleo Gifts list for that special someone who understands that A Christmas Story is basically the most profoundly awesome holiday movie ever, aside from It's a Wonderful Life and the first Home Alone. If you feel there are others worthy of the title, please feel free to post them to the comments. But it'll be a hard sell.)
Some of these gifts may seem odd, but trust me – they're life-changing, especially for the Good Food for Bad Cooks type. We aren't all fancy kitchen chef-fy types with hordes of expensive gadgets and gizmos, and we don't all WANT to be that type. Most of us just need a few key kitchen whoozits or whatzits and we're good.
And lots of times, kitchen gadget or not, we don't know we need something until somebody gifts it to us. (Case in point: I never knew I needed this until I received it from a very generous great-aunt. Who was apparently trying to tell me something. Something I perhaps couldn't hear before I received her lovely gift.)
So here are my favorite Paleo gifts – all (er, most) under $30 and perfect for the Paleo – Primal – Real Food Lover in your life. Check 'em out!
(PS: if you want to give ME the best gift ever, sign up for Email Mondays! I send exclusive weekly subscriber-only posts!)
Paleo Gift #1: The Salad Shooter.
(Sing the old theme song with me: Salad shooter, helps you every day!)
This thing is the absolute best tool for shredding sweet potato and winter squash for hash. It literally takes seconds! Just feed a 'tater in, and perfectly hashed 'tater comes out. It shreds, slices, and crinkle-cuts veggies, and is super easy to clean. One of my all-time faves, right up there with…
Paleo Gift #2: The Spiralizer.
This thing opens up a brand new world of Paleo, Primal and Real Food cuisine – it's the Gluten-Free pasta lover's dream.
It makes perfect spaghetti noodles…out of zucchini. It makes perfect ribbons for thai-inspired dishes, like the incredible Thai Pad See Ew from Danielle Walker's Against All Grain cookbook. It is literally a cooking magic show. And it doesn't require electricity – so you can take it with you to a deserted island. Just like…
Paleo Gift #3: The Vidalia Chop Wizard
This one probably seems a bit weird, but I AM weird. Also, I love my fingertips, which means I hate chopping. Which is why I love this.
All you have to do is slice things a teensy bit, into manageable slices, then put them on the grate. Then, SLAM! You get to smack the lid down and chop your veggies with Van Damme-like force and precision. You get UNIFORMLY chopped veggies, and not chopped fingers! Best!
Now, on to the important gift. The full-sized Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story.
Okay, so this isn't Paleo. It's probably not even Gluten-free. It's certainly not under $30…But c'mon, this is just as amazing as enjoying bacon and eggs guilt-free – so I think it fits right in.
A Christmas Story is one of the only movies I'm actually willing to watch ON TELEVISION, with commercials. TBS runs "24 Hours of A Christmas Story" every year, and without fail, it's on ALL DAY at my house. When you'll watch something in realtime, with commercials, you know that's love. And for some odd reason, as much as I love and crave this movie all year, I just can't bring myself to watch it any other day. What's up with that?
Anyway, although I would also love "a can of Simoniz" as my ACS gift this year, I think I'll have to go for the long shot: the full-sized Leg Lamp.
("Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian!")
("Yeeeah, a statue!")
("Mommy's little piggie!")
("You used up alllll the glue…on PURPOSE!")
If you've got other favorite Paleo-friendly gifts, leave a comment! What do you want to receive (or give) this year?
Thanks for reading!
Liz Wolfe, NTP

My name is Jennifer and I've been working on my genealogy since I was 16 years old. It has long been a passion of mine, though I don't have much time to work on it these days. I love this site because I have found a number of pictures of my ancestors/relatives graves that I never would have been able to obtain on my own. I'm trying now to do look-ups for people as I have time...it's nice to be able to give back.

Wathen Genealogy
My name is Beverly Colvin Smith, my grandmother was Annie Matilda Wathen Murphy. I live in Taylor County, Kentucky. Was born and raised in Marion County, Kentucky. I am working on the Wathen genealogy and would love to have some of your history to add. As a hobby I research and compile family genealogy books. The Wathen book being the eleventh book I have completed. I just ran into your name on Harriet Wathen's page on findagrave. Harriet Wathen (1846-1849) would be my 2nd cousin 2x removed. I would love to have some of the Illinois family obituaries. Please let me hear from you. Thanks

Nathaniel Squire Gilmer
Hello cousin,
I as wondering if you have any family history of William S Gilmer, Nathaniel's father, or his mother. I'm Nathaniel's 2nd great granddaughter. Mary, his youngest daughter from his first marriage is my great grandmother. I would absolutely love to get some info on her as well. It's nice to know someone in the family is as into family history as my mom and I are. No one knows much about Mary, as she was always a quiet person. I think the more we can get on her background, the more we can get to know her as well.
Thank you,
Jessica Binkiewicz

My chandelere
By Colleen M. from Christina Lake, BC on Feb 25, 2014
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
It really is beautiful. There is some assembly and the instructions are very minimal. So I looked at the pic on line for guidance. The chandelier itself came first. Then waited 2 weeks for the bulbs. mmm couldn't figure out why it couldn't come together. I guess it came from different places?

Jeff Branscome writes about Spotsylvania County schools. You can email him at email@example.com.
Del. Cole files bill to place an officer in every school
RELATED: New Hanover County (N.C.) schools voted to spend $200,000 to evaluate its school safety and security issues in the wake of the Newtown shooting, the Associated Press reports today.
New Hanover schools to undergo safety review
WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — The New Hanover County Board of Education will spend up to $200,000 for a security and safety review of all 47 buildings in the district.
That review comes after last month's deadly attack at an elementary school in Connecticut. It will include looking at issues including the handling of crisis communications, school vulnerability and staff training. It will also look at safety risks in the buildings.
The board on Tuesday also agreed that sheriff's deputies can be posted at all elementary schools in the district through the end of the school year. The county commissioners earlier this week approved money for the officers. County officials estimate it will cost about $600,000.
Del. Mark Cole has filed a bill aimed at getting a full-time police officer in every school to improve school safety.
Check out Free Lance-Star reporter Chelyen Davis' report.
The bill is in response to last month's school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.
Spotsylvania currently has one officer assigned to each middle and high school. Those officers periodically check in at the 17 elementary schools in the county.

Grilled Orange Chicken Strips
These savory marinated chicken strips are great for a picnic or backyard barbecue. I grill them right along with sausages and hot dogs. Skewering the chicken makes it easy to handle, but you can put the strips directly on the grill or broil them in the oven if you prefer. -Marion Lowery, Medford, Oregon
4 Servings
Prep: 15 min. + marinating Grill: 10 min.
2 tablespoons chopped fresh orange segments
