Amy Mills – My Favorite BBQ Joints – Volume 1
This is the first installment of a weekly feature for Kevin's BBQ Joints where prominent individuals (BBQ or otherwise) provide a list of their favorite BBQ Joints (or simply joints they always have to hit when they travel around the country).
I was lucky enough to have Amy Mills as my first participant. The reigning 17th Street heiress, Amy is the barbecue go-to girl and a writer, restaurant consultant, television personality, brand, marketing and PR pro, and member of the Missouri Mafia. (The list of her joints and info on her company OnCue Consulting is at the bottom of this post)
Without further ado (always wanted to type that), here are Amy's favorites:
Asking me to name my absolute favorite barbecue is like asking me to choose my favorite child. I love them both equally, although they'll each claim I have a clear favorite! Also, I'll inevitably leave out a name or two and for that, I apologize in advance.
While I am partial to my Daddy's barbecue, I like and appreciate all kinds of barbecue and I have favorites all over the country. Instead of making sweeping statements, I'll focus on a few of my favorite barbecue bites.
I'm in New York City almost every month. Blue Smoke is near and dear to my heart as Mike is a partner. Every visit to New York City includes an order of salt and pepper beef ribs, barbecue chips with bleu cheese dip, deviled eggs and one of the most outstanding macaroni & cheese dishes on the planet. This meal is accompanied by a Porch Swing (which gets its refreshing flavor from Hendrick's gin and Pimm's) or bourbon, neat. I have a huge soft spot for Dinosaur Bar-B-Que as well. Everything on the menu is good, but I'm usually in a drinking and snacking mode when I'm there. Tequila, wings, brisket and deviled eggs are downed in copious amounts. Hill Country Barbecue also means fabulous tequila — añejo, neat or in the form of Mayor of Lockhart margaritas made with spicy Serrano peppers and Don Julio blanco, shaken, and topped with sparkling wine along with requisite nibbles of brisket, corn pudding and cucumber salad. "The Legend" pork chop at Fatty 'Cue was sublime.

I travel to Memphis at least once a year and we head straight to Cozy Corner, where we're welcomed like family by Desiree Robinson and her daughter, Val Bradley. I always have a bologna sandwich with slaw and their hot barbecue sauce and a Cornish game hen. Over near Nashville, on my way to The Jack, I like to stop at Jim n' Nick's in Smyrna for a platter of pimento cheese and sausage and Martin's Bar-B-Que in Nolensville for a redneck taco.
Martin's Bar-B-Que – Redneck Taco
Whole Hog Cafe in Little Rock serves some of the most consistently good barbecue out there. Brisket and ribs = very well done. Don't blink as you travel along Highway 14 and zip through Waldenburg, population 80. Wednesday through Friday, at the four-way stop, is an RV where Woody's Bar-B-Q serves monstrous, delicious pulled pork sandwiches.
As children of legends, I have a special bond with a trio of barbecue boys from Texas. A swing through the state means hours knocking back ice-cold beers, brisket and jalapeño sausage at Kreuz Market with Keith, Rick and Evelyn Schmidt. I even have my own page in Rick's beer log — used to track who owes what. When I spend time with Wayne Mueller at Louis Mueller's, it usually involves giant bones of those meaty, peppery beef ribs. Elgin sausage, homemade by Bryan Bracewell and his family at Southside Market, is hard to beat. Ending on a sweet note with Blue Bell ice cream is a good palate cleanser. They have the biggest selection of flavors I've ever seen.

Way south in Ocean Springs, Mississippi is The Shed. Sitting at picnic tables outside, smelling the salt air and feeling the warm, sultry breeze while listening to live music with a bucket of beer and a plate of barbecue is a singular experience. My annual trip to Sparks, Nevada includes a plate of Kick-Ass Fries at BJ's Nevada Barbecue Company. A serving of crispy hand-cut fries, topped with pulled pork and BJ's homemade sauce can feed an entire family. They also have a cherry chipotle sauce that's really good.
The Shed BBQ & Blue Joint – Ocean Springs, MS
Barefoot BBQ in Seaside, Florida makes its home in an airstream trailer and the two Ole Hickory Pits CTOs churn out consistently fine barbecue. They serve a superlative pork sandwich on toasted garlic bread made from Texas toast. While Big Bob Gibson is famous for their chicken and pork shoulder, they also have outstanding ribs. One of the best side dishes I've tried in a while is the homemade Szechaun green beans from Acme Barbecue in Williamsport, PA. I've made several trips to Hubba Hubba Smokehouse in Flat Rock, North Carolina. Their pulled pork is good and the homemade mustard sauce, packed with flavor, sends it over the to. Also, over in Hemingway, South Carolina, a bite of Rodney's Scott's whole hog transports you to heaven.
Big Mista's BBQ Sampler Platter
I have a pretty packed travel docket for 2011 and on the short list are Sweet Baby Ray's in Wood Dale, Illinois, Big Mista's, multiple farmer's market locations in Southern California, Q Barbeque in Midlothian, Virginia, Company 7 BBQ in Englewood, Ohio, and Ubon's in Yazoo City, Mississippi.

It grows and crops luxuriantly in the warm humid and rainy climate of the tropical and sub-tropical regions. It requires irrigation.
Off shoots popularly known as suckers and the rhizomes may be used for propagation. Suckers may be of two types
1) Sword sucker, which are considered superior to the
2)Broad-leaved water sucker.
Three months old sucker give better performance. Corms or rhizome are easy to handle. The rhizome must be allowed to dry rest for several days before planting. Planting may be done during the rains and when the night temperatures are not low. The soil depth should be more than 45 cm. The land should be deeply ploughed, harrowed and levelled, and pits of 45cm3 dimensions should be dug at required distance. The distance of planting varies according to height and spread of the banans variety. On rich soils the usual planting distance is about 1.8 x 1.8m to 3 x 3m to give an average of around 3000 to 860 plants per hectare. The best spacing on heavy soils is 3.3 x 3.3m. At no stage in the life of the plant the supporting soil should be allowed to dry.
banana may be grouped into five main categories.
Desert banana consisting of table varieties for consumption as such after they are ripe eg Champa (Poovan), Rasthali (Marathaman), Robusta (Harichal), Dwarf Cavendish , Grand Neyne, Shrimanti, etc.
Culinary bananas can be used only after cooking such as Monthan, Banket etc.
Varieties suitable for making chips Nendran.
Varieties for jam making eg Virupkshia
Varieties fit for making powders such as Kunnan
Regional Distribution-
Western and Central India Basarai, Harichal.
Southern India Poovan, Dwarf Cavendish, Robusta, Nendran, Rasthali, Chakkarakeli, Virupakshi, Monthan.
Northern India Champa, Rasthali, Bankel, Batheesa, Kothia.
Eastern India Kabali, Champa, kothia, Batheesa, Marthaman, Amrit Sagar.
The bunchy top disease is a virus disease, transmitted to healthy plants by the aphid Pentalomia nigro-nervosa. The leaves of a badly infested plant are bunched together at the top, forming rosette. Distruction of infected plants alongwith root system, and planting of healthy disease free suckers has been recommended.
Application of phorate granules in the leaf bases to control aphids is advised. Banana leaf spot Longitudinal oval brown spots appear on the leaves. Spraying with Bordeux mixture.

Wisconsin Assemblyman Roger Rivard

This piece originally appeared at Feministe.
That's what Wisconsin state representative Roger Rivard thinks, anyway. But don't worry, everyone, he's clarified! He didn't mean it's actually easy to rape some girls; what he meant was, sometimes you have consensual sex with a girl and then it turns out she's a lying slut and she claims you raped her. So it was an easy rape! Because she's easy. And so was the rape ("rape"). And it's not even what he said, it's what his daddy said. He was just repeating good advice. Because that's really good advice: Don't have sex, because the girl you have sex with might be a dirty lying whore. I mean, you know she's at least a dirty whore, because sex. Lying isn't so far off.
Have I mentioned that Paul Ryan endorsed this guy?
Also, really, what is with the Republican boner for rape? I wrote about this in the Guardian last week, and explained that the Republican rape problem typifies a more generalized Republican woman problem: They don't particularly like women, they don't believe that women should have a full range of rights, they don't want to see women in power, and so they pass laws that try to coerce women into particular roles. Sometimes their deep disdain and distrust of women slips out a bit more bluntly, like Akin's "legitimate rape" comments and this latest gem. But the ideology behind those ugly comments is front and center in the Republican party platform. Which, you know, basically says things like, "We will let women die before we will let them get abortions." Heaven forbid women's bodies are actually for the women inhabiting them, and not for someone else to boss around.
It's more than that, though. Republicans also prop up rape culture, and rape culture is enabled by the kind of conservative worldview that the GOP promotes. I know I'm going full-on self-promotional here, but Yes Means Yes!: Visions of Female Sexual Power and A World Without Rape deals with this pretty thoroughly. In the essay I wrote for the anthology, I talk specifically about the right-wing rape problem. There are a few steps to getting to the "conservatism props up rape culture" conclusion, and they are (here radically simplified):
The socially conservative worldview believes that men and women are fundamentally different — not just physically and emotionally and biologically, but in terms of what role they are supposed to fill in society. The conservative worldview sees a society in which these traditional, "natural" roles are filled as the best society. Conservatives believe that men are naturally aggressive and desiring of sex; in the best world, men are heads of households and responsible for action in the public sphere. They care for their families as financial supporters and physical protectors. But they have to be coerced into entering into that family model through a system in which they cannot get sex without marital commitment. Women, on the other hand, could take or leave sex, but they deeply desire monogamy, romantic love, commitment and support. Women are naturally subservient and desiring of stability; in the best world, women are helpmeets to their husbands and responsible for the private sphere — homemaking and caretaking of children and family. They are responsible for civilizing men, partially by withholding sex in order to get the marital commitment they want, and by establishing a nuclear family that is ultimately the best foundation for society.
In that view, sex is essentially a bartering chip. It's not something that is good in and of itself. It's good only when it's used for both parties to get what they want in a socially-sanctioned way. It is something women "give" to men, once men give women what women want.

Cass county taxpayers wait study for use of 12th Street county roads department property. The study will help determine the feasibility of the site for use as a location for a new county roads maintenance shop.
The Cassgram reports For years the main maintenance facility was west of Plattsmouth on Oak Hill Road. The general consensus was the shop there had been less-than-adequate for a long time and several county boards over the last two decades had agreed a new maintenance facility was needed. However, commissioners could not agree on other points such as the location and the scope of the building that was needed.
Last year, the county roads department moved its two mechanics that had been based in Plattsmouth to the upgraded Manley site. The move was made with the understanding it is only temporary while the county board decides on a permanent maintenance shop.
A new county roads shop was listed on the One Year Road Plan presented several weeks ago.
This week, Roads Superintendent Lenny Thorne requested the county board authorize the county's part-time engineer to do a site study of the county's 12th Street property west of Mynard—the site of the current roads office and the county recycling operation. He estimated the study cost around $1,000.
The study will include an overlay of the property onto the FEMA flood plain map.
With that study in hand, Thorne proposed the county can "then decide from there what needs to be done or where we are going to move to."
"Didn't we go over that years ago?" asked District 5 Commissioner Duane Murdoch, referring to the situation the county board went through in 2006, 2007 and 2008 as a "fiasco." (A shop project was started on the 12th Street site but then stopped.)
"We never did an official site study," responded Thorne. He pointed out that a big knock against the site by opponents was that it was in the flood plain, but that was never confirmed. "If that is the problem it will then be on paper with this study," he said.
The board voted 5 to 0 for the engineer to do the work.
(If you're unfamiliar with the background on the events of 2006 through 2008, type in "Prairie Construction" in the Cassgram Archives at www.cassgram.com and numerous articles will appear.)

Pretty much.
Due to the ArP nerf that they had in 3.2.2, ArP is still an amazing stat to deal with as Blood however it's no longer best. This is due to the fact that yes, Physically damage wise, ArP will still beat Strength for Blood, but you still have some of your attacks that require you to use AP numbers, and ArP has nothing to do with it.
As such, unlike Combat Rogues, Fury Warriors and Kitty Druids, ArP loses it's power due to the fact it isnt' solely based on physical damage anymore. Also the nerf to the co-efficient is pretty low.
However Ensidia as always doesn't explain eff all about why things work the way they do and that's why I really don't like their guides.
ArP Is by far the better stat for Blood however the sheer fact remains that a Blood DK relies on magic attacks as well as physical damage which then decreases the utility of ArP. As such, it is better to go with STrength due to the fact it will increase all damage and not just around 75% of your damage.
Leave it to Ensidia to not explain stuff.

NEW PALTZ -- The Department of Theatre Arts at SUNY New Paltz will present a major staging of "The Secret Garden," an award-winning musical with book and lyrics by Marsha Norman, and music by Lucy Simon. It is based on the classic children's book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The production runs October 16-19 and 23-26 and features a cast of 26, and a 14-piece orchestra.
"The Secret Garden" weaves an allegorical tale of death and rebirth, in which the three central characters find emotional renewal within a garden that is itself reborn after the ravages of winter and neglect. Because the lead characters in "The Secret Garden" are youngsters, director Donna Scheer has cast children from the community to perform these roles. Alternating in the role of Mary is Jennifer Edwards, age 11, from Poughkeepsie, and Arielle Lindstrom, age 13, from Cornwall-on-Hudson. Alternating in the role of Colin is Pierce Davis, age 11, of Blooming Grove, and A.J. Reitter, age 12, of Poughkeepsie.
Director Scheer was impressed with the level of talent in the local children who attended the audition and is thrilled with the talent and skills in the children who were cast. With the help of their parents and coaches, the young children spent a dedicated summer learning their roles and preparing for an arduous rehearsal schedule with the college students.
In the story, ten-year-old Mary Lennox is a lonely little girl who is sent to live with her Uncle Archibald in Yorkshire, England after being orphaned by a cholera epidemic in India. Her younger cousin Colin is Archibald's ailing son who has been shut away in a hidden manor room. Uncle Archibald still grieving over the loss of his beloved wife Lily, and distraught over the condition of his bedridden son casts a dark shadow over the manor.
After months of living in the gloomy mansion, Mary ventures outside to discover a hidden garden once belonging to Lily, and, with the help of Dickon, a magical boy who can charm and talk to animals, she proceeds to nurture it and see it blossom. It in turn, leads to "rebirth" for her and those around her.
Scheer sees the garden as a "metaphor for the human soul, specifically the soul of Mary's wounded, widowed Uncle Archibald." Simple dedication to reviving a deteriorated garden reaps rewards for Mary and everyone around her. Scheer adds, "In our current culture of instant gratification, The Secret Garden addresses the time-honored values of commitment and perseverance." The story will reawaken spirits and move audiences of all ages.
Music Director Stephen Kitsakos says, "The challenging score is quite moving. It builds upon a traditional musical theatre sound with the addition of instruments such as the Indian tabla and kamura, along with the wild folk rhythms of the British Isles. Lucy Simon, composer and sister of songwriter Carly Simon, has imaginatively captured the voices of Frances Hodgson Burnett's fragile characters."
The SUNY production runs October 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25 at 8 p.m. Matinee performances will occur on October 19, 25, 26 at 2 p.m. All performances are in McKenna Theatre, which is wheelchair accessible and equipped with an assisted listening system for the hearing impaired.

From the Pork Barrel: The Joy of Tithing
* Ann Romney says she loves giving tithing 10 percent of the family income to the Mormon Church so much that she cries. Her husband responded, "So do I, but for a different reason." Now that is an actual joke. I think.
* Todd Akin has promised the people of Missouri that he will hang himself limply from Mitt Romney's neck like an albatross all the way till November!
* A Tea Party state legislator who was warned the people of Maryland of how homosexuals will hurt our children got drunk and crashed his boat into another boat full of kids. Is this his way of coming out?
* Download our free iPhone and iPad app Indecision Election Companion and jump up into the the Peanut Gallery — our liveblog/instant reaction arena — to watch and respond with us as Jeb Bush and John McCain sit down with David Gregory to discuss probably a bunch of Republican stuff on NBC's Meet the Press.

While an instant or sorcery spell that you control is on the Stack, you can choose to exile that spell instead of waiting for it to resolve. If you do, then Nivmagus Elemental gets two +1/+1 counters.
After casting the spell, you get two choices. 1: Wait for the spell to resolve, and get its effect. OR 2: Exile the spell (it won't resolve if it gets exiled), then put two +1/+1 counters on Nivmagus Elemental
When an instant or sorcery is cast, it goes on the stack. Nivmagus Elemental allows you to exile that spell off of the stack, placing two +1/+1 counters on it. The spell that was exiled will not resolve, meaning any effects from it will not happen.
Whenever you "cast" a card it is placed on the "stack". while a card is on the stack it is considered a "spell". It is at this point that you can activate the ability of Nivmagus Elemental .
So while Nivmagus Elemental is on the field in your control you can cast, say, Unsummon from your hand. Before the spell resolves you announce that you will activate Nivmagus Elemental . Unsummon exiles, Nivmagus Elemental gets stronger, and Unsummon does nothing.
You can keep doing this as long as you have enough mana to cast more spells.
What Nivmagus Elemental does is allow you opponent to concede while one of your instant or sorcery spells are on the stack.
Your opponent can concede at any given time, no matter what.
I was considering something else entirely. I would want to keep Unsummon for my opponents stuff. I was thinking more along the lines of how an opponent may respond to Barter in Blood when you cast it to get effects from their creatures before they are forced to sac them. if they do so, you may exile the Barter in Blood to add the counters and get overall value out of the card when your opponent may think they have the one up on you.
I also considered the option of Reverberate or Dual Casting , which would allow you to cast a spell like Pillar of Flame , and exile it if you have no real targets. Leaning more towards the application of Dual Casting on Blistercoil Weird . if you cast something, you can untap the Blistercoil Weird have the original resolve, but exile the copy of the instant/sorcery which goes on the stack. You copy the spell before it resolves. The optimal spell I haven't given it much thought, but it could work with atleast afew things while making that Nivmagus Elemental a fatty.
You cannot use Nivmagus Elemental in that way with Barter in Blood , or any spell for that matter.
Once a spell has started resolving no one gets priority until it has finished resolving. And players can only cast spells or activate activated abilities when they have priority.
Also you cannot cast a spell that uses the keyword "target" whel there is no legal target.
On a side note, I believe the optimal spell you are searching for is Epic Experiment .
I don't think he mean 'after it has started to resolve'. I think he means that if his opponents sacrifice their creatures to something else in response to him casting Barter in Blood , he could then exile the Barter in Blood , so that he does not have to sacrifice his own creatures, which is perfectly legal.
Right, and that would be legal.
The thing he said with dual casting also works, although it's quite a bit of work, I think.
I'd be a little bit careful with that though. because if you pass priority to let Barter in Blood resolve, and your opponents does nothing, than you won't be able to exile it.(because you already passed priority)
Would a Guttersnipe 's ability still trigger if the spell that would trigger it is exiled, or would the ability not happen. Rather, does Guttersnipe's trigger happen upon resolution of the spell that is cast or upon it going onto the stack?
yes Guttersnipe 's ability would work because you are still "Casting" the card, but the card just isn't ever "played"
Really Shane concede at any time? O.o
Mind Blown!
In all seriousness though, the best mechanic for Nivmagus Elemental is storm. Build a good storm count, cast Grapeshot , exile all the copies, swing in for serious damage. Also, hold back an card:Apostle's Blessing
Can you only exile cards from the stack, not the graveyard? So you can't cast a buff such as giant growth, wait for it to resolve, then exile it for a total of +4/+4.
@Rugbyfh10: once it's done resolving, it hits the graveyard and is no longer a spell, becoming only a card in a graveyard.
@Rayenous Thank you for clarifying, I'm not sure what I said to misconstrue my point, but I dont think I have faced an opponent who will just say, "Ok, my i will sacrifice my creatures instead of taking advantage of another ability." I meant it to force an ability as to lure my opponent into a false sense of security, for example if an opponent has a Griselbrand and a golgari guildmage out on the field, and I play Barter in Blood , hes going to sac a 7/7 to make seven creature tokens instead of just eating the Griselbrand . Not the best of examples, but the only one i can think of at the moment.
Well, he's also likely to draw 7 cards with Griselbrand as well, but that has nothing to do with this discussion, unless he draws and plays a Counterspell . Which still works just fine for Nivmagus Elemental

USD: Friday After Thanksgiving Breakout
EUR: Shifting to Data as we wait on Greece
GBP: No Rate Cut, QE Undecided
NZD: Annualized Credit Card Spending Drops to 3 Year Low
AUD: Chinese HSBC Flash Manufacturing PMI on Tap
JPY: Relentless Rally in USD/JPY
The British pound ended the day slightly higher against the U.S. dollar and euro. According to the minutes from the most recent monetary policy meeting, policymakers voted 8-1 to keep asset purchases unchanged. David Miles was the sole dissenter who favored increasing asset purchases by GBP25 billion. The monetary policy committee made it clear that they have no intention to cut interest rates further because they believe the impact on lending will be limited. The minutes said "A case could be made for further easing in monetary conditions" but "views differed over the exact impact of the monetary policy committee's asset purchases." As indicated in the Quarterly Inflation report, MPC members felt that output could be expanded without stoking inflationary pressures. While the BoE minutes show no real urgency to ease, the central bank is still dovish and not neutral. Further Quantitative Easing in December is still an open question and given the sharp division within the central bank, there may not be enough consensus for an increase in asset purchases at the end of the year.
With no agreement on aid disbursement for Greece, the euro ended the day unchanged against the U.S. dollar. By now, everyone should know that the Eurogroup plans to reconvene on Monday to work out the "technical details of the package." The price action in the EUR/USD suggests that investors remain hopeful because what's a few more days when we have waited months for a deal. Also, the Germans have gone out of their way to reassure everyone that progress is being made and the more conciliatory tone from Merkel is being received positively. The Chancellor said the Greek financing hole could be filled through the combination of lower interest rates and more EFSF funding. She was optimistic that a deal could be reached on Monday and said the good news is that the Troika believes Greece is fulfilling its obligations. Finance Minister Schaeuble was a bit more specific. He indicated that Greece could receive up to EUR10 billion in extra EFSF funds to buyback bonds and that their current aid could be re-paid in steps or tranches. Aside from the disbursement of the next aid payment, Finance Ministers are also discussing debt restructuring, a possible moratorium on interest rate payments on EFSF loans, which would save Greece EUR 44 billion and reducing interest rates on bilateral loans. According to the Wall Street Journal, the IMF wants Greece to be financed until 2016 and the Eurogroup only wants financing to 2014. At the end of the day, we still expect Greece to receive its next aid payment and this announcement could be enough to drive the EUR/USD higher. If they are able to agree on a soft restructuring of debt that includes an interest rate holiday and/or a maturity extension, it is even more positive for the euro. As investors wait for a decision, the focus will shift to economic data and growth. Eurozone November flash PMI numbers will be released on Thursday followed by the German IFO report on Friday. Given recent warnings of weaker growth in Germany, the odds favor a deeper contraction in manufacturing and service sector activity for the Eurozone's largest economy as well as lower business confidence. If there is a material decline in the PMI or IFO reports, fear of a sharper slowdown in German growth could weigh on the euro.
Most of the major currencies ended the day unchanged or lower against the U.S. dollar. The only currency pair to experience a real move was the Japanese Yen, which dropped to a fresh 7 month low against the greenback. For most Americans, Thanksgiving is a time to offer thanks for everything we have and to celebrate with a big family meal. For currency traders, this holiday means lower volatility and liquidity in the FX market. The absence of U.S. traders can be seen in the tighter trading ranges for most major currencies. While many U.S. traders also take Friday off, the intraday range of the EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY tends to expand significantly on the day after Thanksgiving. Some traders are back and the low liquidity exacerbates the volatility in the FX market.
The Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars sold off once again against the greenback. Over the next 48 hours, we have 2 very important pieces of economic data scheduled for release from Canada. Retail sales on Thursday will be followed by consumer prices on Friday. Economists are currently looking for retail sales growth to accelerate from 0.3% to 0.5% but with wholesale sales dropping by the largest amount in nearly 19 months, the odds favor a weaker released. Also, Canadian job growth slowed significantly in October, which does not bode well for consumer spending. Only 1800 jobs were created last month compared to 52k jobs in September. Inflationary pressures are also expected to ease and if price pressures decline as consumer spending slows, the Bank of Canada may have no choice but to drop its bias to raise rates. House prices were released this morning and according to Teranet-National Bank, prices declined for the second month in a row. No major economic reports were released from Australia but in New Zealand, credit card spending grew at a slower pace. On an annualized basis, spending declined for the first time in 3 years.

'...different colours mean different things'Available in a variety of colours and cheap enough to be bought with pocket money, they have become an overnight sensation in primary school playgrounds across the country.
Each colour denotes a physical act, from a hug or a kiss to showing body parts, to other acts that would make many adults blush. If someone breaks the band off the wearer's wrist, the wearer supposedly has to offer the physical act that corresponds to the colour of the band.
A gold band entitles anyone able to snap it off to all of the sexual favours represented by the other bands. Pink band meant the girl suppose to show her naked chest while the Black the girl has to do sex with the boy.

Branford Marsalis • saxophones
Joey Calderazzo • piano
Eric Revis • bass
Justin Faulkner • drums
Quite simply, Branford Marsalis is among the most revered instrumentalists of our time and one of the most important jazz artists working today. This great saxophonist cut his teeth with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and his brother Wynton's quintet, and he has performed and recorded with a who's-who of jazz giants, including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock and Sonny Rollins. Branford has also collaborated with such diverse artists as Sting, the Grateful Dead and Bruce Hornsby. The Branford Marsalis Quartet – including pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis, and now 21-year-old drumming prodigy Justin Faulkner – is one of the greatest jazz quartets in the world. Assertive, precise, and expressive of a timeless yet daring sensibility, the rigor and historical depth of their music is unparalleled. This superb quartet performs both refreshed standards and classic originals, helmed by the most trustworthy arbiter of the state of the art.
From the time of his emergence with Michael Brecker in 1986 through his recent work in the Branford Marsalis Quartet, pianist Joey Calderazzo has proved to be among the most intense and engaged of contemporary soloists and accompanists. His energy, technique and rapid fire imagination have marked him as one of the most exciting jazz pianists to emerge in the past three decades. Grammy Award winning bassist Eric Revis started his professional career playing with Betty Carter and for the past eighteen years has been a member of the Branford Marsalis Quartet; he has also released four acclaimed albums as leader of his own group, the most recent City of Asylum (2013). A child prodigy, drummer Justin Faulkner played his first professional jazz gig at the age of 13 and has since performed around the world with an extraordinary array of great musicians, from Pharoah Saunders to Christian McBride. This is his fourth year with the Branford Marsalis Quartet.

I made SEVERAL batches of this for Christmas and shared with everyone...I DID a few tweeks here & there as I did not like the consistency of the original finished product....I made ONE batch with half splenda and half sugar...then one with all splenda...and then I made one all splenda and I added about 4 ounces of Marshmallow Creme to the batch...it made it MUCH more 'fudgey and was what I was looking for in texture...did I screw up the kidney friendliness of it by adding the Marshmallow Creme? Please advise...I also spread this in an 11 by 18 sheet pan and got 36 pieces...perfect little 'one bites'... Dietitian [INVALID]: The marshmallow creme is low in sodium, potassium and phosphorus so your versions are still kidney-friendly.

I made this for a patient holiday demo and it was very well received! Nice chocolate taste. Even the teammates who sampled it liked it and commented that if I didn't say anything they wouldn't know it wasn't a regular recipe. However, I doubled the recipe to make sure I had enough and it was very soft. Is it normally like that or should I have adjusted the ingredients somehow?

This fudge is wonderful.One suggestion I have is to melt the chocolate separately. That way it makes stirring much easier. If you have a few small lumps of chocolate when your finished, it's fine it adds a little texture.make some and enjoy. Before making this fudge, I didn't have chocolate in two years. this was a great treat. I put some of the pieces in the freezer wrapped in foil for later.

Church honors priest who died
WTOP's Max Smith
Associated Press
BALTIMORE - A hundred white-robed Episcopal priests from across Maryland joined members of an Ellicott City parish Tuesday in a prayerful crescendo of praise for a priest gunned down along with her church secretary by a homeless man who had been turned away from the parish food bank for seeking too many handouts.
The Rev. Mary-Marguerite Kohn was remembered by her brother Frank and her colleagues as a loving and lively woman with a Ph.D. in pastoral counseling and a floral tattoo on her ankle. She sported colorful hats, had a secret fondness for 1980s dance tunes and embraced the abused and downtrodden during her nearly nine years at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, said her co-rector, the Rev. Kirk Kubicek.
"In many ways, she helped prepare us with the spiritual tools we needed to get through these last few days," Kubicek told about 440 mourners in the Cathedral of the Incarnation.
Kohn, 62, and administrative assistant Brenda Brewington, 59, were fatally shot Thursday in the church office. Police say the shooter was Douglas Franklin Jones, 56, who then turned the handgun on himself and died in a woodlot where he lived near the church.
Brewington's private funeral and interment are scheduled for Thursday.
The Right Rev. Eugene T. Sutton, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, said several parishes in the diocese have offered to hold a burial service for Jones, but that his family hasn't made a decision.
"There is compassion still for that man, who was obviously mentally ill," Sutton told an Associated Press reporter after the service.
Leaders of St. Peter's said Jones had become belligerent and angry after he was turned away from the food bank for visiting more than once a week.
"Mr. Jones started coming in every day," said Craig Stuart-Paul, the parish warden. "He was displeased and angry that we couldn't feed him every day."
Stuart-Paul said he didn't know how soon Jones returned with the gun after he was sent away.
The 90-minute cathedral service was filled with stirring hymns accompanied by a swelling organ and gentle harp. After the final blessing, Kohn's sister Jeanette Kirkpatrick slowly carried Kohn's ashes in a cloth-covered urn down the center aisle, pausing to let each priest touch the receptacle as a bagpiper played.
The diocese's recently retired bishop, the Right Rev. John L. Rabb, said in sermon that Kohn ministered with compassion and understood that God does not forsake his people.
Kohn, he said, was "a true friend in the deepest sense of what Jesus is calling Jesus' people to be."
