MISSION – Sharyland School Board approved requests for additional personnel at several schools during this week's board meeting. Most of the personnel were requested because of increasing enrollment numbers at the high school.
More staffing was also requested to help with new testing practices that will be fully implemented next year. The hiring of three testing strategists, an administrative position, was approved for the high school and both junior highs.
The board also approved hiring a physical therapist. The school district expects to save money by having a therapist on the payroll instead of paying for outside services.
Agriculture Building Update
The board rejected a bid on Package B for the Agriculture Building. The package calls for an addition and small office space with lockers. Original budget for the project was set at $400,000. Bids received were over $700,000.
Total budget projected for the entire Agriculture Building project, which includes renovating the existing 18,500 feet with new foundation, pins and drainage and plumbing improvements, is $850,000.
Superintendent Update
The board is still going through applications for a new superintendent. Board President Dr. Noe Oliveira said no details can be given right now, but they are still going through applications. The board will meet Saturday to review applications and possibly conduct interviews.
They have not selected any finalist, said Oliveira, but they do need to hire someone by mid-June. The goal is to have a new superintendent by July. The candidate should be announced at least 21 days before the first of July, when the new contract date begins.
Other Items
In other items, the school board approved to continue an agreement with Valley Metro Security for campus security services and to renew canine services with Interquest Detection Canines.
In regards to the canines that are taken to the high school at least three times a week, Board Member Fernando Ramirez, said the board needed to look at their entire drug policy for students and staff in the future.

Update: We now know the details of iPhone 3.0. Happily, it includes many of the features listed here. Check out the iPhone 3.0 details and read the live blog of the event.
As iPhone owners await Tuesday's announcement of the iPhone 3.0 software, the Web is abuzz with speculation about what new features the update will bring. Of course, we couldn't let this opportunity pass without chiming in as well.
Ever since the first iPhone was born more than two years ago, and following the introduction of the iPhone 3G last summer, we've made no secret that the iPhone lacks many features we think it should have. We've blogged a few times detailing our complaints, but here you can find a full list in no particular order.
We've also browsed through your blog comments and e-mails to see the features that you hope to see. And please feel free to add anything that we've missed. … Read more

New York Fashion Week is critically acclaimed fashion designer Victoria Beckham's chance to shine.
Before showcasing her collections, she usually talks the fashion editors through each piece personally, demonstrating how she designed the garments by folding bits of material.
Now, as she prepares to unveil the seventh season of her collection, there are already signs of enthusiasm from around the fashion world, with celebrities stepping out daily in her designs.
The mum-of-four, who was also displaying her enviable post-pregnancy figure, stepped out in a pair of black flat ballerina pumps last week.
She's no doubt making feverish last minute adjustments to the collection, which will debut at the city's Public Library on September 11.
Having been featured in both Breakfast at Tiffany's and the Sex and the City movie, the library is a quintessential New York landmark.

Prior to taking the practice fields to start up Week Two of OTAs, the Broncos took to the golf course for a little team bonding on the greens.
The team was divided into foursomes for a nine-hole scramble that was followed by long-drive, putting and chipping contests.
"It's something we would have done a year ago and something I've done in the past," Head Coach John Fox said. "I think it's a good team-building opportunity. We have a pretty good mix of who is playing with who. Guys have a chance to spend a bit of time with the offense if they're on defense and vice versa, and guys in the building, whether it's the equipment guys or the training staff – I call them the football grunts, all out there together. It's good camaraderie."
The foursome of Offensive Quality Control Coach Brian Callahan, cornerback Chris Harris, defensive tackle Mitch Unrein and fullback Chris Gronkowski took home the front nine victory, while guard Zane Beadles, punter Britton Colquitt, Strength and Conditioning Assistant Jason George and wide receiver Gerell Robinson won on the back nine.
Fox, who played with Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway and Broncos President Joe Ellis, said he didn't post his strongest round.
"Not good," he joked of his performance. "I haven't found my game this year. I'm still looking for it."
Fox wasn't the only one to struggle on the course though, which is something he's OK with if it means his players stick to their day jobs.
"What's good is that we don't have a great golfing football team," Fox said. "We're more focused on the football end of it. Too many times I've had some really good golfers and we haven't been very good football teams. Hopefully they'll keep their skill level to the football field."
Below is a list of the rest of the contest winners:
Closest to the Hole No. 5 – Senior Programmer/Analyst Kevin Grogan
Closest to the Hole No. 6 – Cornerback Champ Bailey
Closest to the Hole No. 10 – Strength and Conditioning Assistant Anthony Lomando
Closest to the Hole No. 14 – Quarterback Adam Weber
Longest Drive on Hole No. 1 – Running Backs Coach Eric Studesville
Longest Drive on Hole No. 18 – Guard Zane Beadles
Putting Champion – Wide Receivers Coach Tyke Tolbert
Chipping Champion – Defensive Quality Control Coach Cory Undlin
Long Drive Champion – Punter Britton Colquitt

This Old Cookbook: (1957) Betty Crocker's Cook Book For Boys And Girls
Posted: October 14, 2010 Filed under: Burger, Burger Geek, Burger Recipe, Grass-Fed, Healthy, Home Cookin', Marc Sanders, Recipe, Recipes, Upstate New York 1 CommentI've never been a "Bed & Breakfast" kind of person, always preferring the anonymous consistency of a larger hotel when traveling. I think part of the reason might have been that I never came across the right one. This summer we found it, tucked up the side of a mountain in Woodstock, NY. The amenities were nice, it featured all sorts of earthy-crunchy touches that my wife appreciated, it had great food and a truly nice owner, but the one thing that has stuck with me since our stay, and what has me thinking about returning, was the library in our room which featured a ton of old cookbooks. Odds are they were chosen as much for kitsch as they were for food dreamers, but their mere appearance hinted at a new culinary world for me and I have been on a mission to find some old cookbooks for our own book stacks. I finally had my chance a few weeks ago at our local library's annual book sale and I felt like I scored big time with a copy of Betty Crocker's Cook Book for Boys and Girls. Now, of course, the first thing I did was search for a burger recipe and I was rewarded with a few in this 1957 time capsule. The first one I cooked up is above and I must admit it looks like your basic hamburger, but it has a juicy twist.
The recipe is all of 3 ingredients long, but the results were pretty impressive.
Combine in a bowl and then form into patties- 1 lb. of ground beef (we used 85/15 grass-fed beef)
- 1/2 cup of evaporated milk
- 1 tbsp. salt
I know what you're saying. Looks kind of boring, and on paper it is. I have never even considered using evaporated milk in a burger before and to be honest I wasn't sold after combining the ingredients. The concoction had a really loose consistency and I panicked a bit and ended up tossing the patties in the freezer for a few minutes to firm them up for fear that they would disintegrate while cooking. Me of little faith. 6 minutes per side under a broiler set to high is enough for the higher side of medium (in reality I had them under for 8 minutes per side in hopes of getting a bit of a crust on them which resulted in an incongruously moist solid grey middle). Tossed on squishy rolls with a slather of mayo, mustard and a tomato, these retro treats were legit. The evaporated milk does impart a bit of creaminess to the burgers, but it is not off-putting. I think the selling point of these burgers is you can satisfy the "well-done" folks at your BBQ with a juicy burger – something they may never have experienced before (especially at 160°).
I have poured over tons of burger recipes over the years and have never seen evaporated milk on the ingredient list. Have you? It made me wonder what other ingredients have fallen out of favor. Thankfully I have a small stack of 50′s, 60′s and 70′s cookbooks now to cook my way through in hopes of finding out the answer to that myself.

Home Cookin': Blue Cheese Burger w/ Grass-Fed Beef/Bacon Mix
Posted: November 20, 2009 Filed under: Bacon, Burger, Burger Recipe, Cheeseburger, Family, Grass-Fed, Healthy, Marc Sanders, Meat in Meat, Meat On Meat, Recipe, Recipes 3 CommentsQuick dinner from a few weeks back when a 1/2 day at work gave me the opportunity to hit up two different farmers markets for ingredients. A Le Bus Whole Wheat Burger bun was the perfect foundation for our burger mix of natural, (primarily) grass-fed beef and chopped bacon ends (oddly shaped, wildly fatty slabs of deliciousness from the Lancaster County Farmers Market in Wayne, PA). Add blue cheese, a fire-engine red tomato and some extra whole bacon ends on top and the urge to go out to a restaurant and spend $15 for a fancy burger is officially curbed. When possible serve your burgers on plates with pictures of surgeons on them – its a karma thing and it fights off the bad cholesterol.
Not too much to offer by way of recipe on this one, more along the lines of advice…we find the beef available at farm stands tends towards the lean side, so chopping up bacon and adding it to the mix prior to forming your patties keeps the burgers moist (in addition to adding flavor). We tested a new (and cheap) cast iron skillet from Ikea and were happy with the results.

Home Cookin': The Mar-A-Lago Turkey Burger
Posted: September 10, 2009 Filed under: Burger, Burger Recipe, Chutney, Family, Hamburger, Marc Sanders, Martin's Potato Rolls, Oprah, Recipe, Recipes, Root's Market, Trump, Turkey Burger, Wait a second did he just say Oprah? Leave a commentTo put it lightly, I am not a fan of Oprah and as such I had an immediate prejudice against this recipe when my lovely wife mentioned she was going to prepare some for me to grill for dinner the other night. Not sure of the complete back story on this…apparently Oprah ate this burger at Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort, begged for the recipe for herself and then shared it with her TV audience.
Recipe here via Oprah.com (ugh!)
The best part of this burger might be the use of the mango chutney. Clearly not a common burger ingredient, it keeps the burger juicy (which is often an issue when cooking a turkey burger and relying on your mom's advice about cooking turkey until it is done aka completely dried out) without imparting too much fruity flavor. The apples and scallions are nice touches, too.
Additional notes: Finally got the BBQ up to a high enough temp to land some grill marks on the burgers – a geeky thing that fills me with pride…Potato rolls are the bacon of the baked goods industry, they just make everything taste better…Pull back on the salt a bit, you aren't going to draw out any beefy flavor by loading up the sodium so you might use this as an opportunity to back off…Bought the corn at Root's Market the other day, which is a completely chaotic Amish/Farmer's market nowhere near where you or I live (which is a shame)…For those that know me personally, the addition of a mini-van to our driveway and now my reviewing a recipe promoted by Oprah means that yes, I have officially given up. The old Marc was a lot of fun – remember the good times and pour one out for me.
Burger Geek: Whole Food's Releases iPhone App Featuring Burger Recipes
Posted: July 6, 2009 Filed under: Bacon, Burger, Burger Geek, Burger Recipe, Family, Healthy, Home Cookin', Main Line, Meat On Meat, Recipe, Recipes, tweets, Twitter Leave a commentAs much as I love iBurger (and the hilarious sounds my daughter makes while playing it) I haven't found a truly useful burger app for the iPhone (note to self – get off high horse and invent truly useful burger app for iPhone). To the rescue comes a new app from foodie grocery chain Whole Foods featuring a full slate of burger recipes presented in a truly slick interface.
Over 25 burger recipes are featured ranging from the uber-healthy (beef and bulgur burgers) to the truly decadent (stuffed burgers with gorgonzola and smoky bacon).
Nutritional info is provided (and thankfully placed strategically so it is easy to ignore) as are diet keys which help point you to offerings that may/may not fit into your diet (you'll be happy to know that Sliders are good for those who are "sugar conscious").
One of the best features (though not burger specific) is called "On Hand" which allows you to type in up to 3 ingredients you have "on hand" and then suggests recipes in the library based on that. Pretty handy to have when you are scraping the refrigerator bottom before shopping day.
We'll be testing out the slider recipe soon and probably checking in on the app while out shopping to see what we can create.
Whole Foods annual "Buck A Burger" sale ends tomorrow (July 7th) I think. We loaded up and cooked off some of their bacon and blue cheese burgers for lunch yesterday (tweet – Rounding out a weird weekend with some Bacon & Blue Cheese burgers from Whole Foods Buck A Burger sale. http://twitpic.com/9eezw10:41 AM Jul 5th from TweetDeck ) – pretty tasty.
ps: If you are a budding iPhone app designer and are interested in helping create the burgatory iPhone app (and enjoy working for free) drop me a line…we actually do have a neat idea!
Home Cookin': Buffalo Bill/Dabney Coleman BBQ Bacon Cheese Burger
Posted: June 9, 2009 Filed under: Bacon, Bad TV, Big Burgers, Buffalo Bill, Burger, Burger Recipe, Burgers In The Burbs, Cheeseburger, Dabney Coleman, Family, Food Network, FoodTV, Grass-Fed, Hamburger, Healthy, Marc Sanders, Meat On Meat, Organic, Recipe, Recipes, Twitter 3 CommentsSunday night is burger night around the house and this weekend's version was inspired by a viewing of a PBS The American Experience episode about Buffalo Bill Cody, which when trying to cook and tweet at the same time somehow morphed into a reference to Dabney Coleman's early 1980′s sitcom Buffalo Bill (see tweets here – heck, sign up to follow if you wish).
What made these burgers even more special was that the beef and bacon were procured from our local farmers market. In most parts of the North East farmer's market season has just kicked off and that is great news. Within walking distance of our house are a bevy of delicious, seasonal options produced and sold by the person behind the till. Stories, suggestions, recipes and heart are all within easy reach of the consumer and we are all a bit better for taking the time to slow down and interact on a more personal level with our food and those that grow it. Of course these markets are famous for their veggies but we have found that many offer great quality meats as well. Whether "farm-raised," "grass-fed," "organic" and/or "natural" meat, options abound and include not only beef from cows, but good quality bison and small-batch bacons.
Not so much a recipe on this one…more a parts list:
85/15 all-natural ground beef Thick-cut all-natural bacon Ultra-sharp cheddar cheese Onion rings BBQ sauce Whole-wheat Telera rollsBobby Flay calls his version a Cheyenne Burger.
Carl's Jr.'s call it a Western Bacon Cheeseburger.

Home Cookin': The Burger Explosion
Posted: May 23, 2009 Filed under: Bacon, Burger, Burger Geek, Burger Recipe, Burgers & Beer, Burgers In The Burbs, Cheeseburger, Family, Hamburger, Home Cookin', Marc Sanders, Meat On Meat, Opportunity Of A Lifetime, Recipe, Recipes, Twitter, Where Have You Been My Whole Life? 7 CommentsMore than a little hat tip to the gents over at BBQ Addicts whose invention, the "Bacon Explosion," was the creative jumping off point for this monstrosity.
No shot of getting this thing in the New York Times, but my concerns (and those of our crew of culinarily curious friends) were in getting this in our bellies. The idea just seemed like the logical next step and although it took about 3 hours start to finish, it is more than worthwhile trying it out at home for your next get together. This one is guaranteed to stop people in their tracks. As always, I will note that I am not a professional chef and though these directions worked for me, they may not work well for you. This recipe is fairly forgiving so as long as you are certain to cook these beauties all the way through I can see little danger in making a minor misstep (and tons of upside in creating your own variations).
I actually made a Bacon Explosion alongside the Burger Explosion for comparison's sake. The recipe for the "Bacon Explosion" which is packed with pork sausage is best picked up at BBQ Addicts, though I will note that I tweaked that recipe a little, swapping out the bbq rub for a home spun mixture of salt, pepper and rosemary. The rosemary worked out very well.
Burger Explosion (serves 8-10)
1lb 80/20 ground beef 4 slices of white American cheese 9 slices thick cut bacon 3 slices of regular bacon 1 butt of whole grain bread – toasted1 large egg 2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
1/3 cup BBQ sauce (any kind will do)
Step 1 – Fry up the 3 slices of regular bacon on a griddle as you would for morning breakfast, when done remove from griddle and pat dry (don't worry about getting too much grease off, this ain't health food!)
Step 2 – Take the butt end of the whole grain bread and sop up the rendered bacon fat from the griddle.
Step 3 – Place the bread into a food processor and whir it up for a few seconds to make breadcrumbs (yes, even the breadcrumbs are gonna taste like bacon!).
Step 4 – Put your ground beef, egg, oyster sauce and 3 tablespoons of the bacon-y breadcrumbs into a bowl and mix thoroughly by hand.
Step 5 – Make a 4×5 lattice pattern with the bacon (this may be the most fun part of the recipe)
Attack Of The Leftovers: The Haroset Burger
Posted: April 14, 2009 Filed under: All About The Sauce, Burger, Burger Book Report, Burger Geek, Burger Recipe, Easter, Family, FoodTV, Hamburger, Holidays, Home Cookin', Leftovers, Marc Sanders, Martin's Potato Rolls, Passover, Recipe, Recipes, Smiths Of Smithfield, Where Have You Been My Whole Life? Leave a commentPost holiday weekend and we've got an impenetrable wall of leftovers in the fridge from Saturday's Passover Seder and Sunday's Easter dinner. Tons of great food prepared by family and friends and lots of late night snacking and experimenting opportunities.
This burger was pretty much inevitable after the first bite of haroset at the Seder. On the Seder Plate haroset represents the mortar which the slaves used to build the pyramids in Egypt. The almost too simple recipe of chopped apples, nuts and wine is available everywhere on the web (see here, here and here) and is ideally prepared by your mother/grandmother. The version we had was just on the happy side of "too sweet" and as used here was the perfect burger topping.
The burger itself was an 80/20 mix of ground chuck and was produced using "The Great Burger" recipe from John Torode's new book "Beef and other bovine matters." The secret to Torode's recipe (and how these burgers are served at his Smiths of Smithfield restaurant in London) is his use of Chinese oyster sauce instead of salt. His theory that salt dries out the burger too much and that this side-effect outweighs the benefits of the taste it imparts is an interesting one and I have to say I kind of agree. We grilled the burgers and I purposely left one patty on to the point of overdoneness and it was still juicy. More side-by-side tests are necessary, but I'm willing to buy into the logic. The oyster sauce doesn't overpower the burger either. In the end it was much more subtle then the sniff from the bottle might have suggested.
At this point I am not sick of matzo…that will come soon enough though. Sadly, as anyone who has eaten a Hillel sandwich knows, matzo is not the best sandwich delivery vehicle, but even as it crumbled to bits with the first bite it remained the only logical choice for this burger and the rare bites that did include burger, haroset and matzo were perfect.
Our pantry will be filled with matzo for months (do they sell it in anything but 5 lb. boxes?) so this dish will pop up again in our house very soon…just have to make more haroset but that is easy and is a great use for any leftover wine you might have laying about.
By the way, the perfect beverage for this burger is of course Passover Coke. The local Genuardi's supply was waning considerably the other day…load up while you can!
Next up is an Easter burger with cabbage roll topping on a potato roll! Stay tuned.
Home Cookin': Burger Topping Game Changer
Posted: March 23, 2009 Filed under: Bad TV, Big Burgers, Burger, Burger Recipe, Burgers & Beer, Cheeseburger, Cream Cheese, Denver, Family, Hamburger, Home Cookin', Jalapenos, Man vs Food, Marc Sanders, Martin's Potato Rolls, Opportunity Of A Lifetime, Recipe, Recipes, Red Robin, Where Have You Been My Whole Life? Leave a commentAlmost a year ago I gave up watching TV. With only minor exceptions I have avoided the giant glowing orb in our living room, having instead spent my time in other more high-brow pursuits (like writing a burger blog). But when I do break down and turn on the tube I tend to gravitate towards the lowest common denominator (i.e. Cheaters). These forays back into TV land never go well and I always end up redoubling my resolve, having decided that all programs must be this bad (especially since Joey Grecco replaced Tommy Grand as Cheaters host/staff psychologist, but I digress). After tonight, however, my mind has been changed.
Last week while watching an episode of Man Vs Food (yes, it's come to this…) I caught a glimpse of a burger whose toppings I have never seen nor imagined. Toppings that conveniently exist in my refrigerator 365 days a year, but whose combination and placement on ground beef has never even been considered.
Host Adam Richman dropped by Duffy's Cherry Cricket, winner of Best Burger Bar in Denver (2008), and among the 21 different toppings (and myriad of combinations) we catch a glimpse of what I am calling a "Game Changer" for burgers (at least in our house because I swear I have never seen cream cheese offered as a topping at any burger joint anywhere).
What stared back at me from the screen was a humongous burger topped with a thick slab of cream cheese and a handful of chopped jalapenos.
Oh yes, cream cheese and jalapenos on a burger! Where have you been my whole life?
Cream cheese, like burgatory.com's reigning best friend bacon, has the innate ability to "make anything better" and in this application is the perfect foil providing a critical antidote to the overbearing hotness of the jalapenos.
We grilled our burgers inside and once we broke through the seared crust the cheese commingled with the loose meat, filling pockets of empty space with a blast of dairy to offset the beefiness of our 93/7 grind. As if that weren't enough, the cheese hit the trifecta by matching the pillowiness of the Martin's Potato Rolls.
Denver natives have known about this topping combo for some time and according to the Cherry Cricket's website, the cream cheese/jalapeno combo is the # 1 burger topping by a whopping margin. 80% of respondents called it their favorite, easily distancing such mundane fare as smoked cheddar and bacon or swiss and mushrooms. I worked briefly in the Denver metro and have extreme remorse recollecting that the only burgers I ever ate in the Mile High City were from Red Robin. But I can't dwell on the past, especially because this one is so easy to recreate.
I'd provide a recipe, but it is too simple to get technical. Just do what we did and open the fridge, pull out the slab o' cream cheese buried in there, chop up your jalapenos and when the time is right, apply generously and consider the game changed.
Burger News You Can't Use: Can Butterburgers Sweep The Oscars (And The Nation)?
Posted: February 19, 2009 Filed under: Big Burgers, Burger, Burgernomics, Butter Burgers, Cheeseburger, Fast Food Chains, Fast Food Finance, Hamburger, Hamburger America, Marc Sanders, Recipe, Recipes 1 Comment(UPDATE: Commercial via YOUTUBE)
Interesting missive from MediaWeek today about an ad buy for this Sunday's Academy Awards. The Midwest (and slightly beyond) chain Culver's has bought national TV time during the February 22nd ABC broadcast.
So here's the big question – is the nation ready for ButterBurgers (or at least ButterBurger envy since most of us don't live anywhere near a Culver's – East Coast Cardiologists rejoice!)?
What is a ButterBurger?
Urban Dictionary Definition: the best food in the world. … a hamburger smothered in butter… then covered with a thick slice of cheese.
Our signature ButterBurger® is made from fresh, never frozen, 100% U.S. raised beef and seared on a hot grill to seal in that juicy flavor.
ButterBurger stats (amazingly below 500 calories and "healthier" than a McD's Quarter Pounder w/Cheese)
Oh my.
In a hopeful sign for the economy:
Chris Contino, vp, marketing for the chain, said in a statement: "Culver's roots are in the Midwest, but we're spreading across the country. We're proof that good companies grow even in challenging times."
And I hope they do grow. George Motz featured the infamous ButterBurger at Solly's in his film Hamburger America and I've been too scared to even try and recreate this at home. Here's a recipe courtesy of roadfood.com. Proceed with caution.
I'll be tuning in to see the spot on Sunday night.
Culver's "I Am A Pickle" TV spot (Note: this is not the spot that will run during the Oscars)

Recipe by Barbara
"This bread is wonderful and sweet. Omit the raisins for just a plain good cinnamon bread."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 tablespoons margarine, softened
3 1/4 cups bread flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 cup raisins
I liked it, but was a little bland. I'm going to try with more cin. & sugar. It does make a nice toast.
We didn't care for it - if I make it again, I will add more cinnamon and sugar.

BRUSSELS, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Euro zone finance ministers agreed on Monday to order a private study of how Cyprus implements anti-money laundering laws as a condition for a emergency loans for the Mediterranean island, but did not go into any other details of the bailout.
'Tonight where Cyprus is concerned we zoomed in on the issue of anti-money laundering and didn't go into any possible, or not possible, elements of a programme so I can't go into these elements with you,' Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chaired the talks, said.
'We agreed that an independent assessment conducted by a private sector firm is required and we requested the Troika and Cyprus to agree on the terms of reference for such an assessment within a week,' he said.
The ministers also discussed the euro's exchange rate, but concluded the debate belonged more with the finance ministers and central bankers of the world's 20 biggest developing and developed economies -- the G20 -- later this week in Moscow.

Siva (Indian, active 18th century)
Ari Singh with Courtiers, 1762
Colors and gilding on paper 7 3/8 in. x 9 1/4 in. (18.73 cm x 23.5 cm)
Crocker Art Museum Purchase with funds from the Spencer Joe Fund
By the 18th century, the sultanates of the Deccan and the Hindu rulers of the northwestern areas of the Punjab Hills and Rajasthan had become patrons of the arts. Though their courts never supported the large number of artists that a ruler such as the Mughal Akbar (r. 1556–1605) had in his entourage, distinctive art styles nevertheless developed in each of these courts. While earlier Rajput artists had painted religious texts, beginning in the 1660s, more court activities and portraits appeared. These portraits relied closely enough on the patron's actual features that many figures are identifiable.
The Rajasthani state of Mewar was one of the last courts to develop portrait painting. Artists there chose instead to continue painting religious and literary subject matter of the preMughal period. Portraits tended to be formulaic, evoking the virility of the ruler or his dominance over his subjects. Still, artists often adhered to a true likeness of the ruler, as in this painting, where one can recognize the features of Ari Singh (r. 1761–1773) that appear in other portraits of that ruler.
Ari Singh and his two young sons are seated on a gilded lion throne with courtiers in attendance; a servant holds a hookah for him. The minimalist interior, with only the throne marking the space, is typical of Rajput painting. Delicate, sheer over-garments, the embossed jewels adorning Ari Singh, and the gilding on sashes and robes denote opulence. The painting is dated and signed by the artist, Siva.

New York Aquarium 602 Surf Ave., 718-265-3474 Hurricane Sandy contaminated the tanks and disabled electrical power at the aquarium in October 2012. It's been a long road back for the aquarium—America's oldest—but the attraction has been a Coney Island staple since 1896, and this summer will be no exception: the New York Aquarium reopened on May 25. Among the exhibits now up and running are Glover's Reef, where visitors can see stingrays, fish and eels from Belize; the outdoor Sea Cliffs display, which features otters, walruses and penguins; and the popular Aquatheater, where sea lions perform impressive tricks in exchange for treats (delicious fish). The attraction is a fun opportunity for New Yorkers and visitors of all ages to get an education in marine biology; and on Fridays from 3pm till close, admission is pay-what-you-wish.

Shel Silverstein was born on September 25, 1930, in Chicago. Silverstein studied music and established himself as a musician and composer, writing songs including "A Boy Named Sue," popularized by Johnny Cash, and Loretta Lynn's "One's on the Way." Silverstein also wrote children's literature, including The Giving Tree and the poetry collection A Light in the Attic. He died in 1999.
"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be."
"If you are a dreamer,come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!"
"If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain't enough!"
Early Career
Born in Chicago, Illinois on September 25, 1930, Shel Silverstein enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1950 and served in Korea and Japan, becoming a cartoonist for Stars & Stripes magazine. After his stint in the Army was up, he soon began drawing cartoons for magazines such as Look and Sports Illustrated, but it was his work for Playboy magazine that began garnering Silverstein national recognition. Silverstein's cartoons appeared in every issue of Playboy, riding the high-point of its popularity, from 1957 through the mid-1970s.
While at Playboy in the 1950s, Silverstein also began exploring other areas of creativity, including writing and music, and he contributed poems to the magazine, including "The Winner" and "The Smoke-off," and wrote the books Playboy's Teevee Jeebies and its sequel, More Playboy's Teevee Jeebies: Do-It-Yourself Dialogue for the Late Late Show. He also began publishing his own books of cartoons, beginning with Take Ten (1955) and Grab Your Socks (1956). In 1960, Silverstein's collected cartons, Now Here's My Plan: A Book of Futilities, would appear with one of his most famous drawings adorning the cover. Around this time, he branched out into music, recording his first album, Hairy Jazz (1959), a record containing several standards and a couple of original songs. Silverstein would go on to produce more than a dozen albums over the course of his diverse career.
'The Giving Tree' and Other Writings
In 1963, Silverstein met Ursula Nordstrom, a book editor, and she convinced him to begin writing material for children, which he did on short notice. Uncle Shelby's Story of Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back would be the first, appearing that same year. The next year, he wrote two: A Giraffe and a Half and The Giving Tree, the latter of which would go on to become Silverstein's most popular book.
Besides being wildly popular, The Giving Tree is one of the most discussed children's books of all time. Featuring a boy and a tree, the plot centers on both characters growing up and the boy having less and less time for the tree but more and more need for what the tree can give him. Eventually the tree allows itself to be chopped down to make lumber for a boat so the boy can go sailing. Years later, the boy returns as an old man, and the tree says, "I'm sorry, boy... but I have nothing left to give you." The boy says, "I do not need much now, just a quiet place to sit and rest." The tree then says, "Well, an old tree stump is a good place for sitting and resting.

Giraffe Front and Back Stud Earrings

Product Code

If you love giraffes, you'll want these front and back stud earrings. With two pieces for the front and back of your earlobes, the giraffe is completed when you put the earrings together.

Giraffe Front and Back Stud Earrings
So cute, but not made well.
I almost ordered these online, but first read another review saying that their pair of earrings fell apart within one use, so I decided to check them out in person. At the store I looked through all the sets of the same style, and 3 out of 5 didn't survive me simply taking them off of the packaging and looking at the earring construction. Needless to say I didn't buy any for my daughter. They are cheaply made and won't last long if you do buy them... save your money for something that you can wear more than once (if that!)

Excellent customer service
Excellent ring. You also have an excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend buying jewelry from your web page.
The ring is great!
The ring is beautiful-exceptional quality. The band for the setting was much thinner than expected and what is shown in the picture online. I love the ring. The band makes the diamond look bigger however and therefore I will not be returning or exchanging it.
The ring was a bit thinner than I expected from the pictures, but with the high quality 2 carat diamond we got with it, the brilliance and the fire of the diamond REALLY stood out, and made the rest of the ring just a support structure, a very delicate looking ring. Very happy with the purchase.

Police still searching for suspect in Hedgesville robberyMarch 5, 2013HEDGESVILLE — West Virginia State Police continue to search for a suspect in the armed robbery of a Hedgesville business. The robbery occured at about 3:09 p.m.... MajoritarianI got an idea, tell him he wont be charged if he turns himself in. Yeh, just like those that say if you legalise dope it will lower crime. I think I hear a duh 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Anonymous007"He is described as a white male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with a word printed across the chest" Gee, that helps. I have three or four grey sweatshirts with a word printed on the front of them. And the video is low quality at best. Maybe WVSP should concentrate on obtaining latent prints off the doors used or any other object that was touched by the suspect. After all, this establishment does practically no business anyway, especially during the time of the incident. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 2 of 2 comments

Oskaloosa Swapmeet is Saturday, March 20th!
The Mahaska Hams will be hosting their 22nd Annual Amateur Radio
Swapmeet on Saturday, March 20th from 8:00am to 11:30am at the American
Legion Hall, 302 High Avenue East in Oskaloosa, Iowa. (One block South
of Highway 92 and one block East of the town square.) Admission is by
donation. Tables are just $5 each. For more information, contact Vern
Stanley, N0SJF email@example.com or Donald Brain, KC0RRM
firstname.lastname@example.com. Talk-In on 145.490 (-600 kHz offset, Tone 146.2)
I like this swapmeet because there's plenty of parking and it's easy to
load and unload. The atmosphere is cozy and very friendly. Last year
had a good crowd, a good turnout of people, but was very short of
equipment for sale. Although it is nice to see and visit with old
friends, and make some new ones, the purpose of the swapmeet is to buy
and sell equipment. I hope to see you there!

CFPO-PAL Football: Run of a lifetime
Like most athletes the night before a big game, 14-year-old James Roberson couldn't sleep.
"I had gone to bed about 10:30 or 11 and heard the TV still on in the front room," Don Roberson, James' father, said. "I went out there and he was still up watching SportsCenter, just waiting on the football highlights. I had to tell him, 'Go to bed,' so he could get some rest for his big day."

Hi, we can make a Partnership
Add me on skype jak — jim -— 86
Hey I am game for designing but only freelance. I code the template into html than you can do what ever you want with it for a single payment for the template. I would probably do the design and front end work for about 2500-3000k for each template all depends on how intricate the template is. I do not do a PS design i usually design in the browser. Than you can code it into WP.
Let me know if you are interested. I can do a template in 2-3 weeks from scratch. Check out my portfolio and gimme a buzz.
