My great-grandmother passed away earlier this week while we were visiting her. I was the one who found her. I know she would want me to be happy and remember the good times, and I will and do, but right now is still really sad. She was one of my most precious people.
This is bringing up feelings that are making me confused. Her memorial service will be in August most likely. I will be seeing my grandparents and my father. I haven't seen my father in three years, and my grandparents and I had our falling out long ago. My grandfather in particular.
I don't want to be focusing on this right now. It's making me feel anxious to know I'll be seeing them again, and I'm not sure how to act. Luckily all the extended family who lived in the valley with my Nana will be there and they've all been really kind to me. It feels like taking care of my son is going to be even more important this trip, because I want to keep him safe around my father and grandparents.
Will I be able to mourn properly once this trip is done and once I don't have to see my grandparents and father anymore? Is it wrong that I still want to keep far away from them? Emotionally they scare me. And my grandfather is unpredictable and scares me for physical safety too.
I miss Nana. Rest in peace, beloved one.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I think staying away from your grandfather or anyone else, is fine. You need to do what you feel is best for you and your safety.
I hate that I'm wondering about this instead of mourning my sweet Nana. Earlier this week I was able to think of all the good things we did on her last day, how much love we gave her and shared with her, and knowing that she was happy. Maybe I need to keep focusing on that instead of the other family drama...
I am so sorry for your loss.
Trust your instincts regarding the service and your family.
My condolences on the loss of your Nana.
Think of the haters in your life as sandpaper; theyll scratch you up time and time again but in the end youre polished, smooth, and spotless..while they end up useless
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Will I be able to mourn properly once this trip is done
Do not back up. Severe tire damage.
Sad in AZ, that's a good idea. It would probably help to just be able to repeat something that makes clear where my boundaries are. "I'm sorry you feel that way" or "Thank you for letting me know how you feel". I will draw strength from my Nana. She would want me to be polite and safe. And she would want me to think of my son and be appropriate in front of him.
aesir, I think you're right. The process keeps changing. A bit ago some friends came to visit and we went out, and while we were having good times thoughts of my Nana came back up again. I wish I had hugged her harder when I saw her for the last time. I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish she were still here. But maybe tomorrow or the next day I'll be thinking about all the wonderful memories instead and how we tried to do everything to show her how special she was to us. Going to find some way to honor her life.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It must have been incredibly difficult for you to find her.
It feels like taking care of my son is going to be even more important this trip, because I want to keep him safe around my father and grandparents.
Three years ago my father chose to exit my life because I chose to have my son. Last summer I asked if he would like to meet his grandson, just to give him a chance to come back if he wanted to, and he said no. He claimed it was because he had codependency issues, and he might. I honestly don't know how he would receive my son, and that scares me.
As for my grandfather... in addition to emotionally attacking me over the years, possibly assaulting and giving my Nana a black eye (she wouldn't admit to it, but there are several pieces of the story that point to him), shooting and killing my Nana's dog when she was in the hospital, and almost shooting the neighbor's daughter, the last time I saw him, he said something about my son being "the result of bad decisions". He is incredibly unpredictable and I have no idea what he'd do to any of us. But my primary worry is my son. All the extended family and neighbors in the valley hate him. Unfortunately, my father, grandmother, and even to an extent my own mother let him get away with what he does. My mother claims he's an asshole and has stood up to him before on my behalf, but she doesn't buy that he hurt Nana and has made excuses for some of his behavior.
The coroner checked her for signs of abuse when she passed away because the circumstances around her death were unusual. I found her in her river. There were no signs of abuse that they saw, fortunately. So they think it was an accident. Just the same, I am really afraid of my grandfather. I hope the sheriff will be there. He came on Tuesday, and he was the one who investigated when Nana had the black eye. I really really hope he'll be there.
The problem with all the stuff with my grandfather is, he already sat in jail for "reckless display of a firearm" or whatever happened with the neighbor's daughter, and after 21 days in the jail, they returned his guns to him. He'd be foolish to do anything else. But then, he's still running free and people are still enabling him to do so.
Anyway... that's why I'm afraid. I want to keep my son close to me, as in I don't even want my mother watching him since she might try to do something to get my Dad to acknowledge him. There are some truly scary people in my family.
If it were me in this situation, rather than risk exposing my child to a crazy man with firearms, who has been known to injure people and kill animals (and possibly kill people- just because it hasn't been proven doesn't mean that he didn't do it), I would not go to the formal service and I would honor her in my own way.
I'm sorry I don't have any better advice.
Then, when it's over go to someone's house where the scarey family members aren't....
It is about keeping YOU and your son safe. She is in heaven she loves you, she wants you safe, too.

The day of the visitation, you can go early and say goodbye to her. Then, you can stay until your Grandfather shows up. When he gets there either leave quietly or go find a seat with your son, or take your son outside to run energy off. Then, when the service starts, sit with your child, if you are still there!

Thank you! That is a WONDERFUL idea!!! That's exactly what we'll do. We'll just outright leave when or before my grandfather gets there, and I'll be careful to arrive, stay, and leave with safe people.
I realized that Nana was my soulmate. She taught me what unconditional love is. We had a connection that really didn't need words. We used to spend time just holding hands, or holding each other while we walked. She always used to say I was her girl. Even when the rest of our family fell apart we kept our own relationship and closeness. It took years to build that specialness with her. She was probably the one who showed me how beautiful nature is too. She was so totally at home in the woods and by her river. She had her struggles like anyone and she was so strong. She's the kind of person you want to be when you grow up.
I'm sorry. I know what I wrote about my family must seem unbelievable and extreme. There are some times where I wonder if I'm out of my mind and it's all in my head. Most of what I wrote has been confirmed by other people.
Aside from that, I just wanted to give you another hug, (((silver))), because I know you're in pain and that's all I can do to offer comfort. I wish I could do more.
[This message edited by ThoughtIKnewYa at 1:29 AM, July 29th (Monday)]
She was one of my most precious people.
This speaks volumes...
God bless you and your family.
Celebrate your Nana's life!
Never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten.
My point is you don't even have to be there if you don't feel safe, or don't want to be. She knows you are loving her, missing her, and she is very proud of the person you have become despite everything you have been through. She will give you strength, love and warmth when you need it most.
((((and peace))))
I had a Nana that I adored, too. I was with her when she passed.
Nothing will ever fill the void she has left behind, but the memories you have of her will keep her in your heart.
Please do the go early thing.
YOU know that Nanna knows your love her, you also know that she doesn't want you to be unhappy or sad.
I've been talking to one of the neighbors in particular. A few months ago something happened. Nana used to have a bank account that my grandmother was also on. My grandmother was taking out a lot of my Nana's money each month, too much. So a few months ago this neighbor took Nana to the bank to open a new account with only her name on it. She made me the beneficiary of her account. The neighbor said she wanted to leave something to me and my son because everything else had already been left to or taken by my grandparents and father.
I don't care about money. The neighbors and my close family have all told me to take what she left me and my son because it was a gift. I understand what they're saying. I'm scared, though, because my grandmother tried to get to the money earlier this week, I just found out, and my father wrote me an email saying that they know I'm the beneficiary of the account and to not spend the money because it might be needed for bills (he mentioned pension refunds). I also found out this week that my grandparents have taken over $30K from Nana in the past year.
While I do not want to give them the money, I'm afraid that if I don't they might hurt me. I'm afraid of not cooperating with them, even though everyone says that I should not give them the money and I don't want to since they have taken more than enough already. I was thinking of just asking them what the bills are so I can pay them directly. Our physical safety is worth more than money or pride. Nana would want us to be safe. What do you guys think?

So true.
I'm sorry you lost your Nana too. They left a big light in the world.
So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine having to grieve and also deal with the other issues with the family. Sending strength and hugs.
Laughter will cure life's ills. Have you had your laugh today?
That is YOURS from your Nana who wanted you to have it, not to pay bills.
Your grandmother should have paid those bills, instead of stealing your Nana's money.
How can they hurt you? You mean they would physically come after you and cause you harm? Can you alert the police?
They cannot force you to hand over that account. Please don't let them. Also, you're not responsible for any bills left behind.
Don't let them coerce or intimidate you into paying them.
Nanas really are the brightest lights....it does get so much darker when they're gone.
She will ALWAYS be with you. I don't know if you believe in spirits....but watch your dreams. She may come to you. My Nana comes to me, in mine.
I re-read your posts about your family. Of COURSE you're scared. They are lunatics.
I would stay far away from them. Get a restraining order if you can. Talk to the Sheriff. Tell him she left you this sum of money and they want it. Ask him for advice. He may be able to help you, Silver.
Hang in there. I'm so sorry you have to deal with the crazy on top of trying to come to terms with your Nana's passing.
[This message edited by itainteasy at 7:13 AM, July 30th (Tuesday)]
I'm thinking of asking the Sheriff if he was planning to attend the memorial service. It's a very small town, so everyone pretty much knows each other anyway. Maybe I'll ask him for advice as well on what to do about this situation and mention my fears. I don't know how much he can do, but it's worth it to try.
I called her bank today. They said to come in, in person, so I'll do that when I go back there. This will give me time to think of what the safest plan is going forward. Was thinking of arriving a day before the memorial service, taking care of any business, and then the day of the memorial service, leaving right afterward and flying home. No chance for extended confrontations or nastiness.
I hope.
And a restraining order is a wonderful idea, itainteasy. Maybe I should start looking into the paperwork for it, so that if I need to, I have everything I need already there.
(((hugs everyone)))
I was also thinking of making a contract that they have to sign, if they attempt to take the money from me. It would say that I agree to give up x amount of the inheritance under the condition that they do not bother, harass, or harm my family ever again. Not sure if I'm just thinking crazy, but I'm trying to find some way of feeling safer or more protected around them. I'm leaning more towards giving them the money just so they won't have any reason to come after me (though with truly hurtful people, they don't need a reason to come after you). Then trying to be as uninteresting as possible, not answering any emails or contacts...
Also have begun looking into Order of Protection paperwork. Trying to decide which one to apply for if I need to. I have a mental disability, so it might go under "Dependent Adult Abuse Restraining Order".
I would want Nana's gift to go to my son, maybe to save for college or in general if my son needs it. But I don't want any trouble over it.
My mother is good with money, and she also has semi-stood up to my grandparents before (though like I said, also sometimes defends their choices). She says we shouldn't have to worry about paying bills with that money. Maybe I could ask her to help me set up a savings account for my son, that she could watch out for, and then it will be waiting for him for when he's older. That way it's not in my name, so my grandparents wouldn't gain anything by harassing me, and my mother is tough enough to stand up to them. They seem to have some amount of respect for her, or at least they've never threatened her. Though if it seems like it would put her in danger, then never mind that.
I'm going to run it by her... See what she thinks. And a lot of it will depend on how they act in the upcoming weeks. Good to have options.
Night-night, SI. Going to try to sleep now.

In the long run, your best bet is to ignore them completely--the 180 works for families too. When you go to the bank, see if they can advise you about the ownership of the money your grandmother left in your name. They can't give legal advice, but they may be able to set your mind at rest.
Then, move on. You already know that your family is toxic. Don't put yourself in a position to have to wonder about your sanity. You don't get to pick your relatives, so don't beat yourself up for having lousy ones.
so they won't have any reason to come after me (though with truly hurtful people, they don't need a reason to come after you).
If they have a mind to come after you, they will whether you give them money or not.
Don't give them any.
Keep it for yourself and for your son. That's what your Nana wanted.
I'm not sure I'd trust your mother with it...she may have stood up to your grandparents a couple of times, but will she stand up to them AND your dad if they all come down on her about that money?
You can take that money and put it in a trust for your son--you need a lawyer to do that, I think, but after that, it's not your money. It's his, after he reaches a certain age.
Just reading your posts since you opened this thread, I can see your strength growing. Your nana was the main reason why these toxic people remained near your life, right? There is no reason at this point to continue ANY communications with them. They will not change. You are NOT overreacting. You and little silver have a right to be safe and surrounded by love. Make the choices that support that, and you will be fine. Trust yourself.

If this is true where you are, you may be able to get around this by stating to each person that you fear adverse interaction from that you carry a recorder and what they say may indeed be recorded (remember-I'm not an attorney.) When researching, be particularly mindful of the fact that the other party may have to CONSENT to being recorded.
Thank you Sad in AZ, this is good to know. I will look up what the laws are. Maybe just by saying to them that they're being recorded, it will actually wind up stopping them from being nasty.

This sounds like the best idea. I like that it would be waiting for him and that it wouldn't be in my name. It feels more protected that way somehow. Nana would be happy knowing it went to her great-great-grandson.

YES. This is one of the only "good" things about right now. After this one trip (and if we're really lucky, not even then), I will not have to see them ever again. I can officially let them go and we can move on with our lives!
August 12th. Just checked email. Good, now we can get ready.
eta Damn, August 12th is a Monday. So in order to leave directly after the service, I would have to hope it's in the afternoon, we'd have to fly in on Sunday, and go to the bank first thing in the morning on Monday before the service. *crossing fingers*
[This message edited by silverhopes at 12:12 PM, July 31st (Wednesday)]
It appears the mind-games have begun. I got an email from my grandmother earlier this evening, mentioning that two photos were missing from Nana's kitchen, that they'd searched the house but they're gone, and that this was "sad and on how many different levels".
I have the photos. Several neighbors know I have the photos because they, in fact, encouraged me to take them so I'd have something positive of my Nana in the upcoming days of mourning her. One of the photos - one of Nana with her two dogs when they were puppies - I had put on my Facebook as some of the extended family and neighbors want copies of that photo. I'm making hard copies but also wanted to put them online for them if they wanted. Since my father and I are connected on Facebook, he would know this too if he were to look at my page.
So I'm pretty sure she knows I have the photos. But instead of saying it upfront or asking upfront, she lays an indirect guilt-trip on me. I sent her a message back saying I have the photos and that I'm making copies of the one with the puppies and will bring the copies with me to the memorial service. Pisses me off for them to be wondering about that particular photo, since my grandfather shot one of those beautiful dogs. The other one disappeared years ago... Hate that now I'm wondering if the dog really "disappeared" or not.
Anyway. Just venting. I knew to keep my guard up when she started with the "nice" emails the day after my Nana's passing. I wrote her back politely but kept on guard, and for good reason.
Wrote my father back too. He'd been sending emails - ranging from technical details of matters to come and a few that were asking if I'm OK. Those were pleasantly nice to receive though felt a little sad too, since like usual never sure when the "closeness" is going to stop (I'd been preparing to let him go emotionally before this happened). We had written back and forth a few times politely. He wrote at the end of the last one that he'll see me at the service. When I wrote back, I brought up the "elephant" and told him my family will be coming with me to mourn as well, and to please let me know what his boundaries are so I can try to respect them. We haven't had any resolution about this situation, and I'd rather know going in where he's at with it (he won't be separating me from my son, so I'd like to know how he wants me to approach him). I haven't heard back from him yet.
Anxiety's building, but hoping determination will follow. Getting a lot done in preparation, going to be strong up there.
Thank you everyone for your support and thoughtfulness, especially to the awesome SI crew yesterday! Hard to be stressed when you're walking at the pier with friends. Stay safe.

Just my two cents on a couple of your concerns here.
I would take the VAR. Most of those laws involve admissibility in court. Things that just happen to get picked up are usually admissible, that's why cellphone videos keep turning up even though the people on the videos were not aware of them. Also, in many jurisdictions if the recorder is visible, consent will be inferred. Most of the recorders also have a memo function as well, you can record a few notes to yourself at the beginning, then switch it to VAR mode. (oops, you mean that wasn't off?)
As far as the money vs. bills, don't worry about it. Bills are paid by the executor, out of the proceeds of the estate. That money is no longer in the estate. I am assuming that she set up a joint account with you, so the money is now yours. If you were somehow named as a beneficiary instead, that is still outside of the estate. The executor can pay the bills with what is still in the estate, and when the estate runs out of money, then those bills do not get paid. Creditors can not go after you Nana. The only reason they would want you to pay the bills with that money would be so that they don't have to be paid for by what is inside the estate that they are going to be receiving themselves.
Stay safe.
Also, saying "now is neither the time nor place" in response to anything that makes you uncomfortable is quite appropriate. You can even keep repeating it if necessary.
I would take the VAR. Most of those laws involve admissibility in court.
Not true in the US, aesir. The laws governing use of a VAR vary by state. It is considered wire-tapping and therefore a criminal act if not allowed.
If you need to tape them (and I can understand why), please check the law and if necessary, tape them surreptitiously and do not disclose.
I hope you can get through all this quickly and without issue so that it will all be behind you as soon as possible.
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - Aubrie
when the estate runs out of money, then those bills do not get paid. Creditors can not go after you Nana.
I didn't know this. So even if they didn't have enough money, they couldn't go after the gift she gave us. We were named beneficiary of her account. I didn't know this meant it was outside of the estate, this is good to know.
The only reason they would want you to pay the bills with that money would be so that they don't have to be paid for by what is inside the estate that they are going to be receiving themselves.
So true. And it wouldn't surprise me, if they go that route, if they use guilt-tripping and/or intimidation to accomplish it. We think they might be planning to sell my great-grandmother's property, or possibly some of the resources on it (tree farm). They were also handed a very large inheritance from all of this. So we think they have more than enough money to pay for everything. My own inheritance was deemed "small" by the neighbor who helped Nana set up her account, in comparison to my grandparents' and father's... So hopefully they won't think it's worth it to fight me over it. If they do, it's just money. It will be a different story if they try to fight me over the photos.
They do a lot of traveling on their boat and have spent a lot of time on the road, going different places. The neighbors think that's what all the money they took was for, since Nana was still paying her own bills.
Thank you and stay safe everyone.

You do whatever your heart says. I had my grandmother pass a few years ago and had issues with family. I didn't attend the funeral and it destroys me
I actually spoke with a neutral family member and she allowed me an hour before the visitation to go sit with my grandmother. I sat there for an hour and cried by myself. Nothing else mattered except letting it out.
Focus on your grieving and what you want/need to do.
Just writing to say that it went OK. It was very intense at some points. I saw my father and my grandmother, which was difficult. My mother was sort of pushing for it to happen. Mr Silver and Lil Silver kept me anchored. The neighbors in the valley were very supportive and many of them came up to say something kind to me. But there was also a lot of bad energy among people, mostly toward my grandparents and father, but also other strange dramas. Apparently my grandfather was there, but he didn't say a word to anyone. I didn't even know he was there until someone told me. Thank goodness, there were no confrontations.
Still feeling a lot of mixed feelings, but mostly about my family and extended family and all the issues there. Feeling a little more peace about Nana, because she left me an example of an amazing and strong woman. She's still who I want to be when I grow up, and this visit just made it even stronger. We threw a bouquet of flowers into the river. It felt like some small amount of closure to do that.
The drama will sort itself out, or it won't, but either way just going to keep a positive attitude and try to be respectful of everyone.
Hope you all are doing OK tonight. Stay strong no matter what.
I'm glad running into your dad et al wasn't as disastrous as it could have been.
You are so strong and your sweet boy is a perfect example of what having love and stability in one's life looks like.
Big hugs to you.
Things are going to get better. Right now I'm having a lot of nightmares and trouble sleeping and trouble eating. But we're making plans and moving one step forward at a time. Not sure what everyone wants right now. There seemed like there were agendas at the memorial among a lot of different people. Feeling a little uneasy and anxious about it. Feels like a good time to remember boundaries and emotional regulation and listening carefully and being proactive and careful and internal validation. I can do this.
It's been a little more than 3 weeks, and all the time, I wish I could give her a hug.
[This message edited by silverhopes at 3:55 AM, August 15th (Thursday)]
The drama, agendas, and politics of other folks will be whatever they make them. Remember that you can only control your exposure to them and your reactions. Hold your boundaries.
Sending you continued strength and comfort.
Thank you everyone. All of you have helped me so much through what is a very difficult time, and I appreciate it more than I can say.
When my XWH used to come over here causing trouble I made a promise to my children (and myself). This (our home) is our safe haven from the whole world. There will never be any drama here again. If he were to ever come here again (besides for visitation pickup) I would simply call the police and NOT answer the door. He talks bad about me to himself and to whomever will listen,but I don't live in his world anymore.
You can be strong, too, and feel your Nana's strength being passed on to you and your children. Don't pet the drama lama -- steer clear of family members.
Don't pet the drama lama -- steer clear of family members.
You are so right. And I think right now that's going to include the extended family and neighbors too, just because of the weird sense of agendas I got from so many folks. If they don't have an agenda, they'll understand: everything's still intense right now and we're all still healing.
Not going to pet the llama. Time to hold the boundaries (thank you NIK).
Remember all the great times, and it sounds like where she passed was a place she loved to be, find peace in that.
((((and strength))))
I wish so much that she knew how much I love her.
Why would you doubt that she feels your love as well? Words aren't needed to express that, to feel that. She knows, honey. As sure as you do. ((((silver))))
On the last night I saw her, we sat at her table and held hands. I was really tired because I hadn't slept the night before, and I felt bad that I wasn't being chatty enough, but I wanted to be with her, and I told her that when she offered that I could lie down on her bed. So we both just sat there, holding hands, both of us half-asleep. It was so nice.
Come to think of it, everyone says she had the greatest last day. So maybe I do need to remember that more. All the good things we did on the last day. And we were planning to have an even better next day. We were going to take her out to eat somewhere nice and take pictures (the "generations" photo we always take) and maybe play in the river again. I was going to tell her that I'd be coming back for her birthday, which is around Thanksgiving, and we hadn't done that in years.
I guess it's just the shock of what happened is setting in. But on the bright side - she was in the place she loved, and she loved her river more than anything, and she got to see us one more time, and I got to see her. She went on her terms, so there's got to be something very special about that. Something divine.

And we were planning to have an even better next day. We were going to take her out to eat somewhere nice and take pictures (the "generations" photo we always take) and maybe play in the river again.
So glad to hear that you got through all of this reasonably well (and not nearly as bad as you feared).
I don't know how to deal with this pain.
Nothing more can hurt our loved ones, and the pain we feel is over our own loss. That loss will always be there, but in time we learn to accept that the reason we feel that loss is because we had something special. When I think back on everyone that is gone, it hurts, but only because I have happy memories that I would gladly endure the pain to keep.
Sitting here in tears. Grateful ones, because this is exactly right. Thank you aesir.

Pork Chops-Bone-In or Boneless?
Boneless pork chops are more expensive but I much prefer the bone-in. The meat close to the bone is so flavorful plus I like to gnaw on the bone to get the goodies off them. Any preferences?
re: FrauMetzger
I thought the tenderloin has next to zero fat and therefore very little flavor.
re: joonjoon
I was highlighting the dichotomy of stating "fat is flavor" in one sentence (I don't agree with this broad generalization) and singing the praises of the least fatty part of the loin in the next sentence.
The blade and sirloin chops may have a bit more fat, but they also have more connective tissue, of which I am not a fan. I'll take breaded and pan-fried center cut any day!
Yes! Bones! Boneless loin chops are okay for making schnitzels, but that's about it. I've given up on cooking them as plain pork chops, because the same ones with a bone attached are so much better - juicier, tenderer, much more flavor. Even when I want a pork chop sandwich, I'll cook a bone-in one and then trim it. And now I just noticed it's lunch time … !
re: Will Owen
Bone-in. Always cook it on the bone...occasionally, I might take it off for serving
One vote for boneless here. With the exception of ribs and drumettes, if I can't eat it, it doesn't belong on my dish. OTOH, Mrs G loves to gnaw on the bones like everyone else who posted here. If we get meat w/bone, she'll cut most of the meat off for me and keep the rest. Gnawing on bones seems so primitive to me. A pile of bones actually nauseates me.
re: mucho gordo
You say primitive, I say delicious. :) Why the exception for ribs and wings?
re: mucho gordo
The Khantessa shares your aversion to bone-gnawing. For this reason, BBQ ribs are right out.
re: Perilagu Khan
Grounds for divorce if you ask me.
re: JuniorBalloon
We've sought counseling.
Iowa Chop, Bone-in, 1" to 1 1/2" thick, large tenderloin section. 1 lb each. Come to Iowa State Fair August 11-21 and get a grilled one on a stick. Can't be beat.
In fact, unless you've *know* where boneless chops are cut from, they are not worth buying, because "center cut" and "loin" cover everything from blade chops near the shoulder to sirloin chops near the ham. The best chops are from the rib (bone-in chops where the bone forms the shape of a curved number 7); blade chops (from between the rib and the shoulder) can be tasty but typically have more "stuff" in them. Sirloin chops and "T" bone chops are much less desirable, and therefore they are what boneless chops are usually made from. Which is why one shouldn't buy them ....
re: Karl S
Some people like the chops from the t-bone (like Frau, above). I don't see these as inherently inferior. They are good for quick cooking, where as chops near the blade can benefit from slower cooking. I buy different cuts depending on what I plan on cooking.
re: awm922
I always tended to go for the thick, the juicy and the slow-cooked, but after repeatedly smelling the thin chops my (Mexican) neighbors were cooking I got some thin ones and fried them crisp. Oh! My! These are a whole 'nother variety of meat! Okay, I still like the thickish ones braised, or coated with something and roasted, but those thin crunchy guys are great. Found some on the breakfast menu at a Mexican place we went to, and golly, were they good with beans and eggs!
re: Laurenjo28
ok..now we need a google maps link to your grandmas house...........
There is much more flavor with bone-in. Some tips: Take your time. Start with low heat, a bit of olive oil, season chops with garlic pepper. Some sweet onion in the pan is a nice addition. When chops are half-done move to oven or cover pan. Allow chops to rest 5 minutes before serving.
Depends on the dish. If the chop is served whole, I definitely prefer bone-in. But if a dish calls for diced pork I'll purchase ultra-lean, boneless chops.
re: Will Owen
Properly cooked pork is not dry. The bone certainly doesn't magically inject moisture or fat into the muscle.
re: tommy
No, but it provides an impermeable barrier to help retain the juices that are there. The egg-and-crumb coating on a schnitzel seems to have a similar effect.
For Motosport, below: except for the few who insist that since they can't figure how it works, it obviously can't, the widespread consensus is that bone-in IS juicier. I haven't yet got my Howard McGee book so I can't look it up, but I'm sure he has something to say on the subject. I would be very much surprised if he dismissed it as a delusion.
re: Will Owen
You are assured I can and do figure out lots of stuff. I rely on science, not assumption and what I've read over and over.
re: tommy
Here is what someone else says Harold Mcgee says about "Bone in" http://www.livestrong.com/article/527...
From that you could infer that cooking with the bone in is a bit more forgiving than without. So a properly cooked chop either way is going to be as tender and juicy as the marbling will allow. My personal preference is bone in, but for taste not for juicyness. I realize it's subjective, but meat on the bone tastes better to me.
Bone in always seems to be juicier. The same for rib eye steaks and chicken thighs. Is it my imagination?

Colbert To Visit Future Home Of CBS' 'Late Show'
April 16, 2014 10:21 AM
NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Colbert will be paying a visit to CBS' "Late Show," his future home.
The network said Tuesday that Colbert will be a guest on "Late Show with David Letterman" on April 22.
Last week, the network announced that the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" will succeed Letterman on "Late Show" next year.
Letterman, who has hosted the late-night program for more than two decades, said earlier this month that he will retire sometime in 2015.

EIA-608 Closed Captioning is present only on analog outputs such as the composite, YC or component video outputs, but not on HDMI. The receiver passes the complete video screen including the Closed Captioning data then the TV processes and displays the Closed Captioning text. EIA-608 data is near the top of the screen on line 21 of the screen scan (those white dashes that you often see on the top edge of the picture on some over scan TVs). Some example programs that carry 24/7 EIA-608 Closed Captioning are: TBN on Galaxy 19 - KU and Galaxy 14 - C, History on SES1 - KU. EIA-708 Closed Captioning is typically processed and the text is overlayed on top of the video and is available on both digital and analog video outputs. 3ABN English on Galaxy 19 - KU has both EIA-608 and EIA-708 Closed Captioning.

Nov. 23 (Bloomberg) -- The premium buyers are prepared to pay for fine cup coffee from top global producer Brazil eased this week on a stronger dollar, according to Rio de Janeiro- based broker Flavour Coffee.
Fine cup beans were selling at a premium of 4 cents a pound over the price on ICE Futures U.S., down from 5 cents a pound the previous week, data from the brokerage show. Good cup coffee, which is of a lower quality, was unchanged at a discount of 10 cents a pound to the exchange price, the broker said in a report e-mailed today.
"Prices fell slightly in southern Minas Gerais and the dollar rose, helping ease premiums a bit," Flavio Ribeiro, a broker at the company, said by phone from Rio de Janeiro today. Minas Gerais is Brazil's largest arabica producing state.
A stronger dollar favors exports of commodities priced in Brazilian reais. The dollar rose as much as 3.1 percent against the real today, data on Bloomberg show.
Arabica coffee for March delivery was down 0.3 percent at $2.3625 a pound on ICE Futures U.S. in New York by 12:23 p.m.

cool lounge/restaurant in Cambridge/Boston/Waltham?
I'm looking for somewhere fun to take my boyfriend out for dinner/drinks tonight; good food is important but atmosphere is key. Cuchi Cuchi is a good example of the type of place I have in mind, but I'm looking for other suggestions. Thanks!
I have never been to cuchi cuchi, so I don't know what I'm comparing to. The only "coolish" place I can think of in Waltham, is Solea.
for great drinks and decent food there's always Eastern Standard (more brasserie than lounge, but still fun)...Bond at the Langham has cool atmosphere although the food/drinks are not particularly memorable
Biagio in Waltham has an upstairs lounge w/ a bar and couches and low lighting - very modern and chic looking. I've only eaten downstairs, but wandered upstairs out of curiousity my last time there and ever since have wanted to check it out on a Fri or Sat night.
I have never been to the place you mention, but Tempo in waltham is a cool place. Has a good decor, great drinks, and food is very good.
Om in Harvard Square has a nice loungy bar on its first floor for drinks(careful, this has sound): http://www.omrestaurant.com/
River Gods might be a good option for Central Square. Food and drinks are good and the decor is very interesting!
River Gods
125 River St, Cambridge, MA 02139
Hubby and I recently checked out the highly-recommended SIlvertone and loved it. Great retro-lounge atmosphere, really great cocktails, excellent food (fried calamari in particular) but the prices are what really make this an experience to remember. We had 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 drinks for $46 (plus a generous tip for the great service) which we thought was a total steal.

re: hotoynoodle
Tempo in Waltham is excellent. Also Tempo's sister in Cambridge, Temple Bar. OM in Cambridge, as already mentioned.

Hodgeman County High School running back Evan Kreger could not have had a much better game in the first contest of his senior year.
Kreger scored 10 touchdowns in Hodgeman County's 74-8 win over
Pawnee Heights Friday night. And he scored in all phases of the
game -- running, returning an interception and taking back a punt.
That's a Kansas eight-man record and ties a national eight-man
record, according to the National High School Record Book.
Kreger's scores all came in the first half, and the game was
called at halftime.
The Dodge City Globe reports that the old Kansas eight-man
touchdown record of nine was held by Bryan Kendall of Haviland and
Brandon Major of Wilson.
Kreger, who had 361 yards of total offense, joins five other
players with the national record of 10.

Tuesday, Feb 3 - 5:00pm
Jurors returned from seeing the Cowley College campus, the Kaw Wildlife Area, and the lake where Sanderholm's car was submerged around 4:30 this afternoon.
Judge Pringle reminded jurors they are not to discuss the case, and allowed them to go home for the evening.
Court resumes Wednesday morning at 9:00. Prosecutors say they are building a timeline of events, with today focussing on what lead up to Sanderholm's disappearance. Tomorrow is expected to largely focus on what happened afterwards in the evening hours of January 5, 2007.
Stay with KAKE News and KAKE.com for updates throughout the day.
Tuesday, Feb 3 - 2:30pm
The jury is preparing to leave the courthouse for their group road trip to various crime scenes in Cowley County.
They are expected to return to court at the end of the day to collect their personal belongings and go home.
We'll have live updates from Winfield at 4, 5 and 6pm.
Tuesday, Feb 3 - 1:00pm
Court is back in session.
This afternoon, jurors will have an opportunity to travel as a group and visit various crime scenes in and around Ark City. Prosecutors will take them by bus to the Cowley College campus to give them a better idea of the proximity from the Tigerette practice area to the parking lot where Jodi's and Thurber's cars would have been. They will also see the Kaw Wildlife Area and the lake where Jodi's car was found.
Prosecutors say the purpose of the trip is to give jurors a better perspective on space, distance and time during the course of the events of January 5th, 2007.
Jodi Sanderholm's family says they will not visit the scenes with the jury. They say they don't want their presence to have any possible influence on jurors as the observe the various locations where Jodi was last seen, and later discovered.
Although there is no court ruling at this time that would prohibit cameras from visiting the scenes alongside jurors, prosecutors have indicated they would prefer the jury see the locations without interference from a large crowd or members of the media.
Before the trip begins, prosecutors have a few more witnesses to call.
Elizabeth Rush takes the stand. She asks her face not be shown on camera. She testifies she was on the Tigerette dance team with Jodi Sanderholm and Lori Legleiter. She says she knew Justin Thurber and points to him in court.
Rush testifies she saw Thurber around the Cowley College campus the day Sanderholm vanished.
Lori Legleiter takes the stand for the second time today. This morning, she testified a car matching that of Thurber's followed her home one evening. Prosecutors have maintained Thurber had a habit of stalking young women, particularly members of the Tigerette dance team.
Legleiter was with Sanderholm at dance practice before she disappeared around lunch of January 5, 2007. Authorities believe Sanderholm left practice and was abducted as she checked the mail outside her home.
Before practice that morning, Legleiter says she saw Thurber's car at Central & 2nd in Ark City.
At dance practice, Legleiter says she told Sanderholm the story about being followed.
After practice, Legleiter says she and Sanderholm went to their cars at the same time. She says Sanderholm followed behind her car as they left the Cowley College campus, then turned a different direction as the two parted ways.
Legleiter says she ran a few errands. At one of her stops, she says she noticed her rear passenger tire was almost completely flat, and that the hiss of escaping air can be heard.
Legleiter then went to another friends home to help do her hair. Jodi was supposed to help, and Legleiter called her several times, but she never answered.
That afternoon, Legleiter says Cindy Sanderholm -- Jodi's mother -- called asking if they'd seen Jodi. Legleiter said Jodi was not with her. She and her friend then went to look for Jodi, saying it was not like her to not show up. They checked Jodi's boyfriends business and her family business, but found nothing.
She says around 7:00, she begins telling others about being followed by Thurber earlier in the week, and then seeing him that same morning.
Legleiter, who attended cosmetology school, describes the type of french-tip fingernails Jodi was wearing when she died. Prosecutors said in opening statements they would be discussing those fingernails, and DNA evidence found underneath them that reportedly links Justin Thurber to the crime.
Tuesday, Feb 3 - Noon
Court is in recess for lunch.
Before the end of the morning session, prosecutors spoke with ACPD investigators who pulled security video from a Casey's general store the day Sanderholm vanished. In it, you can see Thurber walking in the morning Sanderholm died. He is seen wearing a black jacket, stone-washed jeans, and white tennis shoes. This will be important later as prosecutors allege he changed clothes after the crime.
ACPD officer Travis Stroud also takes the stand. He stopped Justin Thurber at 11:07 on Friday, January 5th, 2007 -- approximately an hour before prosecutors say Thurber kidnapped Sanderholm near her home. The car stop happened on the Cowley College Campus, during the time Sanderholm would have been in dance practice. Thurber was stopped for failing to yield right of way and no insurance.
The Ark City Police Department has cameras mounted in their patrol cars. Officer Stroud captured video of the car stop.
As the traffic stop ends, Thurber is seen leaving and turning out of sight.
Tuesday, Feb 3 - 11:15am
KBI agent David Faletti takes the stand. He describes the weather the day Jodi vanished. Temperatures that day were in the 40s. The conditions will have importance as investigators discuss how her body was found and evidence recovered at the scene.
Justin Thurber's ex-girlfriend's grandfather takes the stand next. Bill Nicely discusses the events of January 3, between 11:00 and noon.
He says he was at McDonald's with his great gradndaughter, whom prosecutors said during opening statements Thurber considered to be a daughter of his own. (Thurber was not the child's biological father, but may have become close during his relationship with the child's mother).
Nicely says he had a conversation with Thurber that morning, and that Thurber's relationship with his granddaughter had been an unhappy one before their breakup at the end of Dec. 2006. The specifics of the conversation were not discussed.
Tuesday, Feb. 3 - 10:50am
Samantha Doffing takes the stand after Lori Legleiter. She recounts the phone call she had with Lori as Lori says Thurber followed her home from work one night. Her testimony is very brief, lasting only two minutes.
Jimmy Middendorp takes the stand next. He was the regional manager for the Subway sandwich shop in Ark City in January 2007.
Middendorp has requested video of his face not be recorded, though audio of his testimony is fine. He describes for the jury the surveillance system at the Ark City Subway, which he says was working properly on the day Jodi vanished, and in the days before.
Prosecutors hope to show the surveillance video to jurors.
The next witness is Lt. Mark McCaslin, a detective with the Ark City Police Department. He was the investigator who took the surveillance video from Subway (and the same investigator to find Jodi Sanderholm's body). He says he collected video from January 4th of Jodi Sanderholm buying a sandwich in the subway, as well as video of one of the managers closing shop a few nights earlier, and another manager opening shop the next morning.
On Monday, those managers testified Thurber, a previous employee, made them uncomfortable. One testified that he drove by the shop a dozen times as she was closing down for the night. Another says he approached her in the parking lot before sunrise one morning, and the next day she found the keyhole to the back door disabled.
Prosecutors show the jury video taken from the surveillance cameras on January 2nd, three days before Jodi's disappearance. The closing-manager at Subway is seen leaving a note for the opening-manager, saying Thurber's "drive-by" that night made her uncomfortable.
The next morning, the opening manager is seen nervously entering the business, and on her cell phone. The manager told jurors yesterday Thurber had approached her in the parking lot before dawn, asking for a ride. She told jurors she ran inside the store and used her cell to call a friend for help.
In the next video shot (taken the morning of January 4th), the same opening manager is seen coming to work with a police escort. This was the same morning the lock to the back door was discovered to be disabled.
Later in the day on January 4th, Jodi Sanderholm is seen on video coming through the Subway. It is the last picture of her taken before her death the next day.
Although Thurber previously worked at the Subway, he had been fired by the time the video of Jodi was taken on January 4th. On Monday, his manager said he had a poor work ethic.
Tuesday, Feb. 3 - 9:45am
Testimony continues this morning in the capital murder trial of Justin Thurber, accused of kidnapping, raping and killing Ark City teenager Jodi Sanderholm in January of 2007.
Prosecutors hope to call as many as 24 witnesses today, including friends of Jodi Sanderholm, other girls in whom Thurber reportedly had romantic interests, and investigators who opened the case when Jodi disappeared.
The first witness on the stand is Megan Martinson, a former member of the Cowley College Tigerette dance team. She says she knew Justin Thurber. Her testimony is brief, saying she once gave the number of a friend to Justin.
That friend is Stacia Barerra, who takes the stand next. Prosecutors ask her to describe herself. She says she is a petite, brown-haired girl. In pre-trial hearings, prosecutors asked all of the girls who say Thurber stalked them to describe themselves. Every girl was similar in height, weight, age and hair color.
Stacia says after Thurber got her number, he made contact with her in the fall of 2004. One day, Stacia says she found a rose and note on her car's windshield from Thurber. He also exchanged a few text messages with her, but that was the extent of their interactivity.
Lori Legleiter takes the stand next. She was one of Jodi's best friends, and a member of the Cowley College Tigerettes. She also describes herself as a petite brunette, similar in height and size to Jodi Sanderholm.
Prosecutors say Lori's testimony this morning will focus on events in the days and weeks before Jodi's disappearance. She is expected to take the stand again this afternoon to discuss the specifics of January 5th, the day prosecutors say Sanderholm was kidnapped and murdered.
Lori describes Thurber's car, a blue older-model Cadillac. She says she saw it around town often, and parked at the Sirloin Stockade where she and Stacia Barrera worked.
On one particular occasion, Lori says Thurber followed her in his car. She says she was on her way home from work when she noticed a blue-Cadillac behind her. She says she altered her route home, but the car followed. She says it frightened her.
Lori stands with prosecutor Vic Braden in front of the jury box. She shows them on a map the route she took home the night she says Thurber followed her.
She says after a series of turns, she was able to lose the Cadillac behind her. However, she says within a few minutes she spotted the car again. She says it began following her a second time.
Lori says she called friend Samantha Doffing, who told her to go to the police department where her brother works. She also called her father, who told her to come straight home.
Lori was able to make it home safely.
Although Thurber is not charged with any specific crimes in these circumstances, prosecutors maintain the alleged conduct shows a pattern or history of repeated actions that mirrors what happened to Jodi Sanderholm on January 5th.
The judge ruled at the end of court on Monday that a recent Kansas Supreme Court decision allows jurors to hear evidence of so-called "prior bad acts" if the allegations bare a striking resemblance to the accusations made in the actual crime.

The weekend is here and that means that Week 11 for the Houston Texans has arrived with the Oakland Raiders coming to town.
On the Official Houston Texans site, Drew Daugherty writes about the "Texans' storied past with Oakland," saying:
"And you certainly remember when, in 2008, the Texans started the year at 3-7, put together four straight victories and were staring down their first winning season … Houston came out flat and fell short 27-16."
Over at the Houston Chronicle, John McClain gave his Week 11 picks. McClain predicted the Texans will win this game by a 23-19 score.
Here are the rest of his Week 11 picks.
Also from the Houston Chronicle, Dale Robertson wrote about "Gary Kubiak back doing what he loves."
In the article, Robertson stated:
"His doctors and his wife had him on an extremely short leash, making sure he didn't push too hard and wind up hospital-bound again … or worse."
At ESPN.com, Tania Ganguill wrote in an article with the headline, "Case Keenum expects more pressure," about how he can grow as a quarterback.
She wrote:
"To keep that position permanently, Keenum will need to show that he can grow from the early sparks of brightness he's shown so far."
Yoni Pollak at House of Houston gave an update on the power rankings involving the Texans.
He wrote:
"At this point it will be tough for the Texans to drop much further in the power rankings. The average rank of the Texans for these publications this week is 27.14."

Hotels in Petaluma, California, United States of America - your base to discover the city.
Petaluma HotelsVisit Petaluma, where you can sip world-class wines, wander around stunningly preserved reminders of Old California, or look out for deer and spotted bobcat, as you hike beautiful forest trails. Wine buffs will love losing themselves in the burgundy vineyards of Sonoma County, and tasting the subtle differences in the vintages from its 3 distinct wine regions. There's far more to Petaluma than just its grapes, however, and whether it's feeling the heat of a hot air balloon's fire, or listening to your heartbeat pounding while zip-lining through huge redwood trees, new experiences are always just around the corner.Things to seeAsk any local what the first thing you should do in Petaluma is, and they'll invariably point you in the direction of Rancho Petaluma Adobe. Sat in Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park, you can follow a wall of prickly pear cacti to the Mexican Rancho era building. Built in 1836, from adobe mud bricks and timber, the building served as the headquarters of a huge 66,000-acre rancho. Tour the interior to see baskets crafted from the bark of redbud trees, and demonstrations of the traditional animal hide drying process. Afterwards, head out to the beautiful Sonoma Coast, where you can watch as Pacific rollers lap up against unspoiled, rugged beaches. Fly a kite on the shore, see huge elephant seals yawning lazily, or pick up occasional shells, as you hike along the secluded coastline. Dive into the wine scene by swilling your glass to check the color of a sample, and sticking your nose in deep to breathe in its flavors of vanilla and blueberry. Add a sprinkle of Hollywood stardust by visiting Francis Ford Coppola's winery, where you can taste his signature wines, in a room decorated with gleaming Oscar trophies, original movie scripts, and Vito Corleone's famous desk from The Godfather. Hotels in PetalumaSink into a pile of pillows, and a mattress so soft you won't want to leave it, in one of Petaluma's beautiful hotel rooms. Cheap options won't hit you in the pocket, but they will let you sip cocktails while watching sunlight glimmering against the water of outdoor swimming pools. Enjoy a refreshing lie in, or start your day by working off some wine calories on your hotel's whirring treadmills. As you'd expect, in a city so close to the technological hub of Silicon Valley, your Petaluma hotel room should be bang up to date with a 42-inch television, and lightening quick WiFi – unless you choose a boutique bed and breakfast option, in which case you'll trade off modern touches for old time charm. Where to stayStay near the Theater District's riverside promenade to soak up the cosmopolitan atmosphere, and listen as wine glugs into glasses, river water gurgles, and cutlery clinks contentedly. Whether you're looking to eat Californian-mussels, tangled in tagliatelle, or want to spend a sophisticated evening hanging onto the hushed whispers of performers at the Cinnabar Theater, you're in exactly the right place. During the daytime, downtown is great for some quirky shopping - but beware, an innocent browse could see you returning to your room carrying anything from homemade lavender candles, to fragile antique clocks.How to get to PetalumaOakland International is the nearest major airport to Petaluma - lying about an hour's drive away - but San Francisco International is only a few minutes further, if a flight there is more convenient. Several bus services connect Petaluma with San Fran, which makes it possible to hop up to the town without needing a car. If you are doing this, take an Amtrak service up to Emeryville station, which is the closest railway station to downtown San Francisco.

Hey guys, it would mean so much to me if you voted for my entry for the PlayStation Access magazine cover design competition! The theme is "Gaming Takes Over the World." If I win, my design will become the cover for that issue, meaning that I'll become a published graphic designer! Please take a few moments of your time to help this little girl achieve her big dreams.
Here's a description of my piece:
What better way to illustrate the world domination of gaming than with a play on the renowned commercial that introduced the revolutionary Macintosh® computer to the world? For those who are familiar with the 1984 Apple® commercial directed by Ridley Scott advertising the first Macintosh® computer (or even George Orwell's literary masterpiece entitled 1984), this cover will certainly generate an immediate impulse to snatch the magazine and peruse its contents. Its integration of the iconic PlayStation® controller symbols and Kazuo Hirai, the Chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment®, with the screen in the middle serves to emphasize the company's position at the top of the gaming industry and the overwhelming amount of people around the world that they have touched and influenced.
This cover inarguably says, "Go ahead — flip open Access magazine — and we'll tell you why 2012 won't be like 1984."
Thank you!

Beneath Insanity, "Christmas with the Kranks" Has a Message
- Tuesday, November 23, 2004
Many of Grisham's readers, including myself, have questioned the story's ending, which has the Kranks inexplicably willing to ditch their plans in order to please their daughter. What is clear is that Grisham meant the tale as a caution against the excesses we are all prone to during the holidays, as well as the perils of conformity. What is unclear is why he chose to have everyone completely reverse course, then do exactly what they (and we) have come to despise. Did the author, who is a Christian, mean to say that what really counts is friendship and family, even amidst the excesses, as well as forgiving those friends, even when they have acted heinously? Perhaps – but I have a different take.
I think Grisham may be showing us, in yet another way, how easy it is to give in to the false trappings of Christmas, even when we have done everything in our power to escape them. I see it as yet another caution – an even stronger one than the rest of the story – against the lure of the canned merriment we call Christmas. As a writer, I would have ended the story differently. However, I must acknowledge that it works, and perhaps even better onscreen than it does in the book. So the real message, it would seem, comes when Luther gives up his cruise tickets and gives them to his neighbor, who is dying of cancer.
For, isn't that what Jesus does for us? He comes, unexpectedly and even reluctantly (for a brief moment, when He begged the Father to release him from the task), in the midst of the death that surrounds us, to give us a beautiful, valuable gift we could never purchase or acquire for ourselves. And because of it, we are forever changed – but only if we accept.
So, despite the schlock, I like this film, because it embodies what Christmas really means, and contrasts it with the very things that keep us from celebrating the Christ Mass. And that, these days, is as rare as reindeer. Bravo, Revolution Studios.
AUDIENCE: All ages.
- Drugs/Alcohol Content: Average. Characters drink wine during dinner in several scenes. One scene in a liquor store where character buys a dozen or so bottles of wine and liquor for a holiday party. At holiday party, many people arrive carrying bottles of wine and champagne, and others are seen in background with people drinking. Main character pretends to "smoke" large cinnamon sticks like marijuana.
- Language/Profanity: Very Mild. Two mild obscenities, one of which is rebuked by another character. One mild profanity ("What in God's name.")
- Sexual Content/Nudity: Mild. Wife gets excited when husband talks about a surprise, unbuttons pants offscreen and says, "But it's not Saturday night!" only to realize he is talking about something else.
- Violence: Lots of physical comedy that results in falls and "accidents" where no one is hurt. Main character has serious fall from roof of house but is stopped by rope and left dangling. Thief runs from police, is tackled then slammed against car window. Same thief is later hit by a man dressed as Santa Claus wielding an umbrella.

District Attorney Seth Williams said Miranda, 34, a Democrat, and his sister, Michelle Wilson, 28, were charged with conflict of interest, perjury and criminal conspiracy, and are expected to turn themselves in within several days.
Williams' office investigated a report of a "ghost employee" in Miranda's North Philadelphia district office, and found Miranda allegedly created the position for Timothy Duckett, a former campaign worker for Miranda, to funnel money to Wilson, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

There is nothing better than fresh shucked corn!!! I try to eat as much of it as I can during the season but to ensure I have good corn in the winter, I process my winter supply early in the season!! Blanch it for 2 minutes, removed from the cob, lightly salt and butter and vacuum pack it and freeze. Yumm!!! Like fresh all winter long!!!
On the cob in the summer, on the beach and at festivals, fairs and picnics.
On the plate during cold months and in soups, salads, eggs, tacos and roasted dishes.
I love corn freshly picked on the cob. Nothing better slattered with butter. Can't wait for our farmers market to open.
Just wish the companys who freeze it on the cob would use real sweetcorn instead of dent or field corn major difference in texture and taste. I'm a Nebraska farm girl and I know the difference.

I Like Big Butts and I Cannot Lie: Confessions of a Skinny Girl
Let me say this for the record. This entry is not about the objectification of women or to engage in a deep discussion about images of women in the media and music. It really is about the fact that I like big butts and I cannot lie.
With that out of the way, I am over the world acting like big butts are a new thing. And now everybody wants one. Contrary to what pop culture may have you believe, "phat" butts did not arrive on the scene with Kim Kardashian. Yes, she has mastered the over-the-shoulder-stick-your-butt-out pose while wearing body hugging garments that show off her ass-ets. But she is not the originator.
Where I grew up, big booties were the norm. They called my BFF in 9th grade "Tonya Bass with the big fat ass." And she wasn't the only one. At each turn there was a beautiful sister sashaying by in her Jordache jeans with junk in her trunk. "It's so big you can see it from the front," they said.
And then there was me. "Columbus thought the world was flat but he was just looking at Andi's back." I hated to dress for gym with my skinny legs and lacking backside. I never wore dresses. I wanted to stab people who felt comfortable saddling up next to me and spouting "Girl, you need to eat. Do you eat? You are soooo skinny. Your butt is flat." I often wondered if people go up to those with a little extra around the middle and say, "Girl, you are fat. Just stop eating." I pondered what would ensue if I responded by saying, "You sho is ugly."
I suffered in silence and dreamed of a world where I had a coke bottle figure with matching round derriere. No one wants to hear the skinny girl complain.
If ever at a party and Sir Mix-A-Lot came on, I felt awkward dancing.
I like big butts and I cannot lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung…
I was at Spelman when Spike Lee shot School Daze at the Atlanta University Center and, in the process, gave life to a song and dance craze that swept the nation. It was called Da Butt or as I referred to it, "Just My Damn Luck."
And Sonya got a big ole butt (oh, yeah)
Melissa got a big ole butt (oh, yeah)
Tammy got a bubble butt (oh, yeah)
Little Keisha got a big ole butt (big ole butt)
Not little Keisha too!
As the years passed and I grew…up, I learned to love my rear. All that it is and isn't. Make no big bones about it, from time to time I still get butt envy. But I have embraced the words of a different song, "Shake what your mama gave you." So, that's what I do. I shake what my mama gave ME and I do a pretty damn good job at it.

Without You Lyrics - Breaking Benjamin
Review The Song (4)
Search for the answers I knew all along
I lost myself, we all fall down
Never the wiser of what I've become
Alone I stand a broken man
All I have is one last chance
I wont turn my back on you
Take my hand drag me down
If you fall then I will too
And I can't save what's left of you
Say something new
I have nothing left
I can't face the dark without you
There's nothing left to lose
The fighting never ends
I can't face the dark without you
Swallow me under and pull me apart
sponsored linksI understand there's nothing left
Pain so familiar and close to the heart
No more, no less I wont forget
Come back down, save yourself
I can't find my way to you
And I can't bare to face the truth
Say something new
I have nothing left
I can't face the dark without you
There's nothing left to lose
The fighting never ends
I can't face the dark without you
I wanted to forgive
I'm trying to forget
Don't leave me here again
I'm with you forever, the end
Say something new
I have nothing left
I can't face the dark without you
There's nothing left to lose
The fighting never ends
I can't face the dark without you
Holding the hand that holds me down
I forgive, forget you, the end
Holding the hand that holds me down
I forgive you, forget you, the end

One of those songs that I love to death and can't explain why! | Reviewer: amorailuv | 8/25/10
I love this song to pieces, even this gushy review doesn't do it justice. Like the first reviewer, I can't stop listening to it on repeat. It's extremely powerful, well written and the lyrics are amazing! My very favorite part is "I forgive you, forget you, the end!" because in the end, that's what everybody does.
My humble interpretation of the song, just because I want to put it out there: "You have the ability to destroy me or save me, but I need you. We're fighting powerful things we can't understand, and we can't win if we do it alone. Even though you left me behind so many times, I forgive you again and again because you're my only hope. And in the very end, all I can do is try to forget."
Yeahhhh I love this song to death =D Kudos to Breaking Benjamin for making this song what it is!
Amazing | Reviewer: Derek | 6/21/10
Yea, I don't think it's bad to love one band so much. They way I interpreted this song, I used it to click the final missing piece in what I need to do to stop the never ending thoughts plaguing my mind.

Man, I love this song so damn much! <3 I love the whole album "Dear Agony", and before I bought it I had never heard Breaking Benjamin. Now it's kind of madness that I hadn't, I love 'em! "Without You" is one of the best song ever. I can see why you replays it for your novel, I get so many ideas my self when I listen to it. It's like my head is gonna explode 'cause there's to much ideas every time I listens to the album. Breaking Benjamin is awesome, I love them!
Great song! | Reviewer: DeLiRiUm Of ThE eNdLeSs | 1/8/10
I'm actually using this song as inspiration for a novella I'm writing. It's been playing on repeat for 3 hours straight now...
Is it healthy for a person to love one band so much? I'm beginning to think I'm addicted to Breaking Benjamin... o_O
