Football rivalries lead to vandalism.
By Keith Epps
Eagles fan defaces vehicles supporting rival NFL teams
The fierce rivalries in the National Football League's NFC East spilled over into a Stafford County commuter lot Thursday, police said.
Sheriff's spokesman Bill Kennedy said a deputy went to the lot on Mine Road in North Stafford in response to a reported vandalism. A man told police that he returned to the lot about 5:10 p.m. and found the word "Eagles" painted on the left side of his vehicle.
The victim had a New York Giants sticker on his vehicle, Kennedy said. The Philadelphia Eagles are in the same division as the Giants, along with the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys.
While the deputy was speaking to that victim, a woman walked up and reported that "Eagles" was also painted on her vehicle.
The word was painted over a Redskins helmet on her passenger-side door.
A third vehicle had the same vandalism, Kennedy said. That vehicle had a Redskins logo on the back windshield, and the paint was on the side.
Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call the Stafford Sheriff's Office at 658-4400 or Crime Solvers at 659-2020.

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Frederick D. passed a background check on 10/24/13. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Frederick, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
If you're looking for someone to help you become a better writer or maybe just someone to proofread your papers and offer constructive feedback I can help. As an English major, I have experience drafting papers, doing revisions as well as working with others to help them understand the writing process. Through my undergraduate studies at The University of Chicago and now into my Masters program in Journalism at Boston University, I have committed to writing as a career.
While in undergrad, I worked with high school juniors and seniors on their college application essays through a program offered at my university. After graduation I tutored colleagues still in undergrad by reading their papers and offering feedback on how to make their papers better.
For three years I worked in the Boston Public School system as a writing tutor helping all ages of high school students with projects ranging simple five paragraph essays to multimedia presentations. I also worked with ESL students helping them write papers and understand the nuances of the English language. After that, I worked at Northeastern University as a Writing Consultant helping college freshmen adjust to the rigors of college-level writing.
My teaching style is flexible. I adapt to the needs of the person I am tutoring so that they can get the most out the time we have together. I create a relaxed environment in which the most work can be done and a student feels comfortable to ask questions and participate in the learning process.
I have a BA in English from the University of Chicago and over three years of experience teaching and tutoring English as a subject. I look forward to helping you or your student.
Playing football has always been a source of entertainment and learning for me. I started playing in middle school and have enjoyed the game ever since. Through my time playing football in high school I learned the value of team mates, competition as well as sportsmanship. I did well in high school earning league honors on defense. In college I played for a year but then decided to use my football talents to help other people enjoy the game as much as I do. To this end, I coached and played for a co-ed intramural team and lead that team to an intramural league championship two years in a row. I also coached and played for an inter-collegiate football team that competed against other colleges and universities in the local area. I am a Linebacker and Fullback by played position but I am knowledgeable about all offensive and defensive line positions as well as defensive back positions.
As a journalist, I have helped edit newspapers before they go to print to make sure they lack grammatical errors and meet AP Style standards. This work has given me a keen eye for detail and the ability to spot, correct and easily explain mistakes.
Teaching reading goes hand in hand with teaching writing. The ability to write well is directly related high levels of reading comprehension. As an educator, I relate reading techniques to my students that improve their comprehension which, in turn, improves their writing.
With a BA in English, a Master of Science in Journalism, and experience teaching writing in both high school and at the collegiate level, I have made a commitment to writing as a career. My knowledge of various academic essay formats as well as how to quickly and easily communicate them to students helps me educate students and increase their skill.

text: Sarah Palin: Obama Golfs, Fundraises During Crises Because He's 'In over His Head' Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 22 Jul 2014 post a comment Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin believes that President Barack Obama's actions -- or lack thereof -- show that he is "in over his head" as the country's chief executive. Noting that Obama golfs, vacations, passes the buck and points fingers during domestic and international crises if he is not distancing himself even more from them, Palin said on Monday's Hannity on Fox News that Obama is "so far... in over his head" because he was merely a community organizer with "no executive experience" and "no resume at all" before becoming president. Speaking about the border crisis, Palin said Obama is "very disconnected to what people are going through in real life." Palin has said that Obama's lawlessness on illegal immigrant was the tipping point for her to call for impeachment because illegal immigrant impacts American workers -- native-born of all backgrounds and races and legal immigrants. Palin reiterated that Obama was in "a border state when the invasion started erupting and chose instead to go to fundraisers." Palin said Obama embraces the idea of "shirking back" from some of the most important developments in the world, and that is why the vacuum is being "filled by evil men." She said she hope more candidates who believe in America's exceptionalism around the globe can be elected in the midterm elections. After saying that Obama's time in the White House has showed that he is merely a "community organizer with no real responsibilities," as she warned during the 2008 campaign, Palin mentioned how different Obama is from Ronald Reagan, who "called out evil and didn't ask for flexibility" and ended up winning the Cold War without firing a bullet. "Such a difference in the mindset," Palin said. In light of recent events in Ukraine, host Sean Hannity said Palin does not get enough credit for accurately predicting during the 2008 campaign -- to the mockery and derision of the so-called enlightened eggheads in the foreign policy establishment -- that Putin may invade Ukraine if Obama were elected president.

South prong of Black Creek at minor flood stage
Updated On: Jul 13 2014 06:40:00 PM EDT
Clay County Emergency Management has notified News4Jax that the south prong of Black Creek is in minor flood stage.
The creek crested at 16.52 feet around 7 a.m. Sunday. Emergency Management says this 16.5 feet is just short of impacting homes along the south prong. Emergency Management encourages people living in the area to closely monitor the situation. There is concern about more rain in the area over the next 24 hours.
The National Weather Service in Jacksonville has issued a minor flood warning for the south prong of Black Creek, which will continue until the creek falls below flood level. Boaters are encouraged to be mindful of creating any wakes in the areas of high water near homes. Unless absolutely necessary, avoid entering the water around the south prong due to rushing water and floating debris.
Rising waters will move wildlife from flooded habitat into adjacent residential and commercial areas where they may come into contact with residents. Officials urge citizens to minimize contact with animals while they seek temporary refuge from their flooded home range.
Emergency Management officials urge residents and businesses located along the south prong of Black Creek to stay alert to the water levels and to stay aware of any emergency notifications that may go out should conditions change, either through National Weather Service Alerts, through the media, or through the County's CodeRED emergency notification system. If you are located along Black Creek and have a question regarding this message, please call Clay County Emergency Management at 904-284-7703.

Houston (CBS Houston) – Just hours after learning Matt Schaub will start against the St. Louis Rams, the Texans defense challenged him in what one player called the most intense practice of the year.
Rookie safety D.J. Swearinger told SportsRadio 610 that head coach Gary Kubiak called a team meeting this morning to tell everyone Schaub would remain as the team's starter.
"A lot of guys wanted to know, and he told us who the quarterback was going to be." Swearinger said.
After the meeting the team hit the practice field, where a normal Wednesday would consist of a lighter practice, but not this week.
"We had a very intense practice today" Swearinger said. "Wednesday is usually sort of a learning day. You run but it's sort of a learning day and Thursday is sort of the work day but today was more like a Thursday. A lot of running around and a lot of competing out there today."
Tight end Ryan Griffin described the intensity level as "the highest since I've been here." and added "We had a couple of extra periods at the end and we had some fun with it."
The practice was not only intense but the scout team specifically tried to challenge Schaub.
"We stepped it up a lot on defense too, to give him hard and tough looks." D.J. Swearinger said. "We were very intense and (Schaub) responded too. So that's the good thing."
Even veterans like Duane Brown realized there was a different vibe on Wednesday.
"It was very intense" Brown said. "Our defensive scout team gave us a great look. They were moving around very fast."

Everybody needs to have good, clear, interesting, even classy pictures. The clothes worn in these great shots should look clean, pressed, not faded and should be not showing a pattern that is unflattering, ie., a print that does not look good on the person and is too busy on the person. Persons should not have pictures there that were taken with a flash, I have been told ask Peter here who was a photographer for the Navy and says this all of the time. The picture should make you look good, including one's teeth. Some folks have pictures here that I could say make them look like they are wearing braces because the lighting is very bad. Be careful of these things and your results will be better. Treat it like ART. If you are not artistic, get some help!
Jeff, First remember that you are a child of the King! Our Lord Jesus Christ! In his eyes you are a wonderful and beautiful creation!
I read your profile and I see it as honest, sincere and straight forward. There is nothing wrong with your profile!
You stated that all this is in God's Hands. A very smart answer indeed! Yes, all in God's Time, not ours!
Most of us are here for the same reason, to find that special person. Some find it, some may not.
Keep praying and trusting in Jesus. Spend time in front of the Blessed Sacrament, weekly. Ask our Blessed Mother to pray to her Son, for you. God will answer your prayers. Just trust whatever HIS answer is, HE knows what is best for you.
I will pray for you, Jeff. God bless you. Veronica
I did not intend it to be an invitation to a "pity party". I know that this is not what you inferred or meant, Tara. And, just for the record, I have wondered the same thing about you because I think you're a catch. But getting back to my point, I sincerely would like to know if there is something that needs improvement on my profile. Unfortunately, some things cannot be improved upon like my hair. Yes, I wish that I had more head up top, but this is what God intended and it's in the genes. Also, I would hope that most women would be able to see beyond my thinning pate.
Seriously, Jeff, if someone is going to judge you by your hair, instead of what is in your heart and mind, then you don't need them! Pray that those people stay far away from you! God is good. Trust in HIM! Veronica
Hang on in there, at times it pays to wait.
After all, patience is a virtue but it doesn't mean that what you're looking for will just drop in front of you. LOL
In God's time, you'll just realize that she's already right there in front of you so.
Come on! Chase that dream of yours!
All the best!
Is my hairline a turn-off for some women? I'm sorry that I'm not better-looking?
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
I'm sure it is a turn off for some gals. They'll just never know what they are missing! However, I think bald is pretty darn attractive and have met numerous women who agree. Don't worry, man! And don't be sorry that you aren't better looking! I used to think the same thing and then it dawned on me that I look exactly as I'm supposed to in order to attract the exact person that I'm supposed to.
Is my hairline a turn-off for some women? I'm sorry that I'm not better-looking?
As the song goes, "you are who you are, and you ain't who you ain't" [bonus points to anyone who can identify the song without searching for the lyrics...]
The right person won't care; the person who cares isn't right. NEXT! They're doing you a favor and saving you the time of having to figure that out down the road after you are emotionally vested in a relationship.

Valley Green Tea is a premium loose leaf Chinese tea specialist.
The owner of the business is En Jie. She was a medical practitioner turned public health researcher. She grew up and was trained in western medicine in the tea country of China, the FuJian Province. While she was conducting her public health researcher during the last 20 years or so at various major universities in Sydney, she came cross numerous scientific literatures reporting the health benefits of tea drinking, especially those relating to modern life styles as: obesity, high cholesterol levels and blood pressure, cardio-vascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, arthritis, inflammatory diseases and more. She realised that people raced out to the supermarkets and started consuming green teas (and others) like Chinese medicine. It was then when she decided to introduce the REAL Chinese teas, as an enjoyment and a culture of 2000 years history first, and health benefits as the by-products to the western society now she is living in.
Direction and discussions
She will discuss various of aspects of tea consumption with the readers and tea consumers here, from history to the recent renewed interests in teas, from preparation guides to how to maximise the health benefits of tea consumptions etc. She is also very happy to join in the discussions of topics raised by the readers.

When eating starts harming your body?Written by En Jie
I am writing up this blog know the full potential of being criticized as being condescending and judgemental, but will take the risk and call it what it is.
I believe our ancestors from the hunting and gathering days ate to acquire the essential nutrients needed by their bodies. There were days of plenty and days of shortage, but somehow it managed to even out and the human society has surveyed and progressed.
What I was seeing the other day in a supermarket was however quite a different story. I was shopping for family dinner and there was a lady in front of me at the checkout. I am afraid to say she was already twice the size of me. I was rather stunned when I noticed what was in her shopping trolley: a hot chicken, 6 blocks of Canterbury chocolate (quite a substantial stack!), 2 packs of Tim Tam, 3 packs of chocolate waffle. The only item which could be classified as 'vegetable' was a bottled pasta source. I could not help it to think from a biochemical point of view that her arteries are already quite clogged up, and her lifestyle habit keeps adding to it.
This is when eating starts harming a body. There will also be a vicious circle after this, the more obese one becomes-> the more burdened his/her heart is -> the less active he/she will be -> more obese he/she will become.
Valley Green Tea will attempt to offer some practical advice on how to break this vicious circle to step into a productive one in a few future blog posts.
Buy Green Tea onlineWritten by En Jie
For those who are new to green teas, buying the right one could be a bit of a challenge. The questions that I have been asked:
- Can I order some green tea please (reality: there are more than 300 Chinese green teas with very distinctive individual characters.)
- What is the best green tea?
- Which green tea has the highest level of anti-oxidants?
- Are all green teas bitter and grassy?
- Are all loose leaf tea green tea?
- Any the list keeps growing!
Green tea and its health benefit
Green tea is one of the very original teas and has been consumed in China for a long history. It is however relatively new to the west. The interest in green tea has been rapidly increasing in the last 20-30 years mainly due to the recent documentary of their numerous health benefits.
The health benefits of different green teas are similar, although the anti-oxidant level is believed to be associated with the quality grade of the tea more than the variety (different varieties of green teas are made of different sub-species of the same plant).
I have been advising our customers as follow:
- Never forget that green tea was discovered as an enjoyable beverage to enhance lifestyle first
- The health benefits are by-products
- If you can find a green tea that suites your taste and in-cooperate it into your lifestyle, the health benefits will come naturally.
Purchase green tea online
Tea drinking is a life time journey for many and it is worth while taking time to investigate and find a tea and a supplier that meets you needs and satisfy your taste buds.
They are many online suppliers offering loose leaf green teas today, claiming to be premium quality. The quality range is however very big. There are supplier source their seasonal products directly from the tea farmers in China, transport and store appropriately while the others (with limited knowledge about premium fresh teas) simply purchase their products from a second or even third hand tea merchant. For the later, the product could be of low quality at production, being stored inadequately for a long time and sold under the same tea name for a profit, for example all under the same name Dragon Well green tea. The differences are evident to an experienced tea drinker.
Green tea buying tips:
- The best green teas are the fresh ones (refreshing and aromatic, never bitter or rough)
- All loose teas are quality graded and the difference could be quite big (similar to premium wine)
- Do a thorough check of the site, if the supplier appears to have extensive firsthand knowledge about teas, the chances are you are likely to get some decent quality products.
- Start from small amount but different varieties. Pick the one that satisfy your taste buds, you can then order bigger quality.
- Try out some free samples if possible.
- Tea bags are never of high quality, mainly because the broken leaves are heavily oxidised (different from fermentation!) at the edge to produce the bitter taste and rough texture
More information about green teas and their quality grades at: Tea and Quality.
Right tea accessories for the right teasWritten by En Jie
When we talk about tea accessories, some inexperienced tea drinkers immediately think about exotic Chinese/Japanese tea ceremonies and the tea accessories used.
They are some extreme tea accessories of course, often for collection purpose that fall into this category. There also others designed for practicalities, specific accessories for specific teas with very valid reasons. For example:
- We (Chinese) always use small teapots as these ensure the teas are freshly brewed and severed. A big teapot on the other hand has a tendency to soak the teas.
- A glass teapot is recommended for green teas as the young tender leaves create an underwater phenomena during the brewing. It is a visual enjoyment as well as a good opportunity to inspect the quality of the leaves.
- A Zi Sha teapot (purple sand teapot) if often used for teas that require a 'good brew', such as Oolong tea, black tea and pu-erh tea. The micro-cavities in this unique clay allows teas to breathe through the teapot wall during the brewing process. It has thus gained it reputation to be the premium clay for premium teas in China for almost as long as the history the teas.
- We also use small tea cups that are in glass or with white inner lining for drinking. This is for the convenience of inspect the tea brew. A premium tea's brew should be brightly clear, in whatever colour the tea is supposed to be in.
- The tea infuser all-in-one is designed to be used in the office (you therefore would not need a tea set in a limited space) or those drinking alone at home that need frequent topping up.
As you can see from the above examples, tea accessories have their very own practical purposes and functions. By selecting the right tea accessories, your tea consuming experience will be largely enhanced. To get the perfect tea accessories for your perfect tea however sometimes can take some time. It is just like teas, everyone has a different taste and preference, but once you have found your perfect spot, it will stay with you for a long time.
A cup of luxury in the officeWritten by En Jie
More and more people are drinking loose leaf teas, green tea, white tea or Oolong tea, now in the office appreciating the additional quality and enjoyment they offer.
Making a cup of tea from loose leaves in an office sometimes however can be less feasible, you need at least a teapot and a cup.
As much as the Chinese love their premium loose teas, at home or at the office, a tea infuser all-in-one is invented to overcome this obstacle. These tea infusers are composed by two compartments:
- The upper/inner chamber where the tea is brewed. It is equipped by a valve which allows a perfect control of the tea brewing time with a touch of a button.
- The lower compartment where the tea brew is drained to can be used a serving teapot or a tea cup to drink from.
- The lid is also a perfect saucer, for the brewing compartment to sit on when the lower compartment is being used as a teapot or cup.
Your have questions, there are answers. Just as the Chinese say 'it is better to be deprived of food for a day than tea'.
Sustainability is the key for weight managementWritten by En Jie
Weight management is a question, desire, dream, challenge, quest, game, journey, investment, and disappointment for so many in our date's society. For some commercial companies, this desperate yearning of being fit and healthy also becomes a profit making vehicle that only leads to an end that see either no result or unsustainable results. An article published today with a title 'Why diets don't work – three things you need to know (Sydney Morning Herald: http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/diet-and-fitness/why-diets-don8217t-work-8211-three-things-you-need-to-know-20140820-1069er.html )' with an analysis of interaction between one's mind and body, and how a desire is not necessarily leading to a desirable result, is a restatement of our previous blog 'Weight management 1 – why we put it on? ', with some further recommendation on how to achieve a successful result without breaking your back and pockets. This lead to what we have always also been advocating – making SUSTAINABLE lifestyle changes, should it be diet, exercise and supplements. It is an absolute heartache to see desperate people being led to false promises and the only lesson learnt is not to try again.
Is green tea everyone's cup of teaWritten by En Jie
Many are drinking green tea these days due to their overwhelming health benefits researched and reported. Many however turn up at the local supermarket and grab a box of teabags. The scenario is often they find them difficult to swallow let alone enjoy and can only put up with them for so long. A few hints to help you to find your cup of green tea:
- Unlikely commercial tea bags, there are many varieties of premium loose leaf pure green teas (unblended). There are more than 300 alone in China recorded, many times more folk teas have never made it to the record. The teas are made in different areas, using different sub-species of plants grown under different climate conditions and processed by different traditional methods. The end results are teas looking different and tastes different. Try a variety of them and the chances are there will be one that is your favourite.
- Purchase the right teas from the right supplier. Premium pure tea is an art of its' own and a supplier who understands premium teas will certainly help in the teas they source. If you are not sure, ask for samples and a genuine supplier will be more than proud to show off their teas.
- Lean to make premium green teas the right way. The traditional English tea making with a big teapot and soak the tea for a long time will ruin the green tea no matter how good quality it is. On the other hand however, you do not need a tea ceremony to make a cup of green tea. Just a few cautions, such as tea leaf amount, water temperature and brewing time, and after that it is all in your hands. Experiment until you get your perfect cup of tea.
- Select the right tea vessel. Teas are very delicate in flavours and will take any odors and flavours around them. Avoid anything that is modern, such plastic, iron or aluminum to store or brew teas where possible. A cupper with the plastic taste is not a flavour for anyone for sure.
Green teas are extremely refreshing. A good quality one will make you wanting to come back for more and more, especially after a rich meal. I remember my village born and died (when she was nearly 100 years old) grandmother could not live a day without her tea. Green tea could be a lifestyle change with plenty of the enjoyment, so do not drink to put up with it! We Chinese have enjoyed for about 2000 years.

Speaking at an event hosted by Vietstock Communications, Dr Le Xuan Nghia, vice chairman of the National Financial Supervision Committee, said though the Government's efforts to curb inflation have yielded results, banks' interest rates have not dropped significantly.
Prof Dr Dang Hung Vo, a former deputy minister of natural resources and environment, said the real estate market will continue to face a shortage of capital this year.
The sector should not have high expectations of foreign investment since foreign investors will only invest when they see property prices drop sharply, he warned.
Both Nghia and Vo agreed however that there is unlikely to be a situation where property developers sell on the cheap.
Vo explained away the steep price cuts made by some developers as being due to the poor location of their projects.
The tight monetary policy and oversupply in some segments have forced property investors to cut prices, but this is not a widespread occurrence, Nghia said.
Many people are still holding out for high prices, so foreign investors consider Vietnamese property prices high, he said.
Speaking about possible development opportunities this year, Vo said the market can improve in the third quarter when banks' liquidity problems are expected to partially ease and credit will again begin to flow into it.
The Government has given priority to restructuring the monetary and banking sectors, and already approved the national housing development strategy from now through 2020, he said, referring to the need for more housing to be developed under the strategy.
Nghia predicted the low-priced housing segment to recover first, by mid-2012 at the earliest.

LAS VEGASThe last day of the expo was a mix of celebration for those who won the night before, lingering disappointment for the losers, and hangovers for everyone. Unlike Saturday, there was no line of fans a mile long just to get inside, no equally long line to get an autograph from some of the biggest names in adult film. Instead, at 10:30 a.m., the convention floor was its quietest. I munched on a cranberry muffin as I strolled around, thankful for the lack of crowds but cursing the unkind fluorescent lights. Best Tease Performance winner Vicki Vette had a perma-grin on her face as she signed autographs. Teagan Presley, the odds-on favorite for Best New Starlet who lost to Cytherea, was MIA for our morning interview; I was content to stare, again, at her shiny skin and seductive eyes on the 10-foot-tall reproduction of her likeness which graced the back wall of the Digital Playground booth. Business was still brisk for the un-porno couple selling I (Heart) Vagina T-shirts, and the folks hocking Clown Porn: The Movie DVDs seemed equally smiley. I passed an enlarged cover of my favorite new porn title, Honey We Blew Up Your Pussy, featuring a photo depicting clever use of a clit pump, at Kick Ass Pictures. I watched a line form at the ClubJenna booth an hour before its star was due to arrive. I heard Britney Spears blasting from the GayVN Lounge. As I walked through the casino back to my hotel room, it felt like the last day of summer camp, where the numbers slowly dwindle. Familiar faces and breast implants were replaced by regular people (still with breast implants, since it is Vegas). The largest gathering of porno pros, amateurs, fans, and press was dispersing, headed back to hometowns where, sadly, there is no one named Boo D. Licious in the phone book, spanking isn't considered a separate genre from BDSM, and no one wins a trophy for their masturbation performance.

Recipe for (DELISH)Brussel Sprouts at Jack's or Whole foods
- l
- long_ballers Jan 30, 2007 11:37 AM
Anyone tried these yet? they are DELISH! i want to make them at home but im not sure how they make them so good.
They are serving them at Jack's La Jolla, which are my favorite, and i have purchased them at Whole Foods.
can someone fill me in on a good recipe?
wish my mom would have had these recipes when i was growing up.
Is this a specific recipe your looking for, or just a great recipe for brussel sprouts? I got one from this site recently that was awesome. Cut them in half, tossed them in good olive oil and balsamic (we actually had a raspberry balsamic on hand) with salt and pepper, and bake (roast) for about 20-30 min. bout 350-375 degrees. Awesome!!! we loved em - thanks to everyone that posted that.
Hard to say what the recipe you are looking for might be, but here are two brussels spouts recipies I rely on.
I quickly boil the brussels sprouts, making sure they stay green, and then saute bacon and onions, mix it with parlsey and saute it with the BS, season with s & p.
Otherwise I toss the brussels sprouts in olive oil and roast them at 425 for 30 minutes, season w/ S&P.
I love to saute in EVOO, a little Salt, then top and carmelize some maple syrup at the end. The sweet takes out the bitter and changes the flavor a little. Also crisps up the edges. So very yummy. Also goes w/ a butternut squash combo. :)KQ
the all sound similar to what i had. they were definately baked with Olive Oil and came out kind of caramelized. they ahd bacon bits too. they were/are so good!
thanks for the tips.
Caramelizing the brussels sprouts in the roasting process is the key here and obviously combining the two recipes is a snap. You could easily add chopped onions to the BS when they roasted, but I would add the bacon, cooked separately after the fact. Another nice addition would be toasted pine nuts. Enjoy!
This is my FAVORITE brussel sprouts recipe. It's so good. Since I got it for free off the internet, I'm going to post it. I've tried similar variations of it, but this one is the best:
Braised Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Pecans
Serves 8 to 10
8 strips bacon , chopped
2 large shallots , chopped fine
2 cloves garlic , minced
2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts , trimmed and halved through stem ends
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
4 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Table salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup pecans , toasted and chopped
1. Fry bacon in skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off excess grease but do not wipe skillet clean.
2. Cook shallots in same skillet over medium heat until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Toss Brussels sprouts with shallots and garlic, add broth, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, tossing once or twice, until paring knife can be inserted into sprouts without resistance, 13 to 18 minutes.
4. Stir in thyme, vinegar, butter, reserved bacon, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle pecans on top. Serve immediately.
I also LOVE brussel sprouts roasted in the oven. SUCH a different taste/experience than the ol' steamed ones that were so bitter growing up!
I tend to quarter my sprouts, allowing the "leafs" that fall off to caramelize in the pan, too. Put in a pan/pyrex dish, spritz with olive oil, top with coarse kosher salt, fresh black pepper....and chopped up bacon (not cooked!!). Roast in the oven on high heat (400) until fork tender and caramelized. The chopped up bacon cooks up nice and crisp and the bacon FAT that drips over the sprouts is what makes it SO good.
(I know...not the healthiest, but oh, so good)
I also like a BS recipe that's pretty easy. Trim and parboil the sprouts (NOT cooked through), saute some chopped garlic in olive oil. Drain the sprouts well, then saute in the pan with the garlic -- and let them cook until they brown a bit. If the sprouts are large, I halve them after they are parboiled.
This is pretty much a variation on the theme of most of the above recipes, but I made a side of brussels sprouts last week that I was VERY happy with.
I diced 2 strips of thick-cut bacon, browned it up well, added about another tablespoonful of bacon fat, a tablespoon or so of boiled apple cider syrup (SECRET INGREDIENT ALERT!), and about a pound of brussels sprouts trimmed and cut into quarters. Cooked them till tender - 10-15 minutes? - and seasoned with salt, pepper, and a tiny slug of balsamic vinegar.
I'm not sure they actually needed the balsamic vinegar, but the cider syrup was an EXCELLENT addition. I bought a bottle from The Baker's Catalogue last summer, kind of on a whim, and have found it incredibly useful to intensify and deepen apple flavor. It's wonderful in apple pie; I also use it in my red cabbage, which takes a chopped apple as well. Now that I think of it, I bet a spoonful would also be great in my pork and sauerkraut goulash! It is very tart, so it doesn't make savory dishes too sweet, which is handy.
I grew up on the old fashioned boil the life out of the sprouts so they tasted like dirty feet, this is a reciped that i had at xmas a few years ago and now i will eat them again.
Steam the BS for 2-3 min, take out put in a pan with butter, s&p, fry for a few minutes until tender add parm cheese toss in oven for a few minutes till parm is melted on them. Yummy.

Facebook sure does hate boobs.

Re: How would you like to see CM Punk/The Rock and John Cena saga unfold?

Its so funny to me how so many fans try to blame Rock for Punks shortcomings and lack of star power. Rock isnt even there 95% of the time and has only headlined 2 PPV in 2 years so what about the other 22 PPV? Cena has been the guy whos constantly made Punks life and title run an afterthought yet he gets little blame its all Rock even though hes hardly there to "steal" or even "bury" Punk.
Who's blaming Rock over Cena? Point me in their direction so I can slap the taste out of their mouths.
That being said, I get that even in losing, Punk still gains from getting to wrestle The Rock and it will probably be the biggest match of his career. I don't get how he'll be ruined if he managed to beat The Rock though, or that it's somehow worse for Punk than losing to Rock. That's nutty to say. Jericho beating Rock/Austin didn't kill any part of his career. He wasn't not positioned as "the guy" because of that. It was how he was booked following that, specifically in the WM18 Stephanie/HHH feud because he was simply a lackey to Steph in that. That's why he was in the position he was in and that comes down to booking, not his big kayfabe victories.
Punk beating Rock (hypothetically of course... I'm certain it's not happening) would be wonderful for Punk's career... hell it would be the best thing that could happen for him right now bar ending Undertaker's WM streak. The only potential negatives and "career killers" would be the booking after that and unrelated to the big victory.
I've got some bad news...

but see a vibrant economy is hard to reach when companies come into a city with a plan to abandon that city in five years. An account like this would act as a safety net for the community and would make the company investing in the community do so at a higher cost causing higher buy in and maybe give that company more incentive to not pull out.
At the very least the city would have the funds to deal with the companies mess.
"Greed is good." Gordon Gecko-Wall Street. I doubt corporate businesses possess any other 'virtues.' Profit margin built on the backs of consumers and employees paid low minimum wages is part of their business formula. Building a playground for kids, or investing in say, improving the community doesn't exist.
The needs of the many, out weigh the needs of the few (or the one). The government gets more revenue (profits) from a corporations business than do the corporation itself which built the business. Then the government squanders the money and blame the corporation as greedy.
Here's an example: Remember when Exxon Mobile made record profits of 16B in 2011, and Exxon was demonized for making those profits? When you explain the whole story it's refreshing to know that they are making a difference out there. Exxon made 127B that year and they paid 33B in taxes to the Feds which left 94B. Of the 16B in profits 8B were from tax cuts/exemptions which left 78B. This 78B was used to explore, refine, process, and deliver the oil which additionally was used to provide jobs. Yes they built it and that's more of the story than you will ever hear in the progressive liberal media!
But see the thing is and this is ok with me sort of. But the thing is corporate business for the most part are only out to make a profit. This is so true historically we see this lacking some anomalies.
Now this is "good" greed can be good, but it has to be kept in "check". Greed caused the corporations to open these malls that, honestly were doomed from the start. The malls were built in the suburban areas that were built on a housing bubble generated on bad economics. Any business analyst would have warned against this if they were concerned with anything other than profit they would have not built these in the first place. The problem is not that the malls were built it was that the malls were abandoned and have become community liabilities. Now with the liability we have cost. Who should pay this cost? The corporation or the citizens of the community. I would go a step further and say this. When the mall becomes a liability, who can pay the cost? The citizens of the community, that is in recession, or the business who abandoned said community? Probably at that point neither. So before the development of the mall there should be some planning done by the community as well as the business. Maybe the fund could be developed by both the citizens as well as the business. But there should be a fund for the communities future.
I don't believe it is as convoluted as you have described. We already have entities in place to look out for those possibilities and what's in OUR best interests: The Chamber of Commerce, The Downtown Development Authority, The Liberty County Development Authority, The Tax Assessors Office, The City Council, The County Commissioners etc. The thing is that while they are 'looking out' for us, they are building themselves Pyramids of Hubris known as the Justice Center, The BOE Building and the LCDA Building all the while giving themselves raises and exorbitant salaries.
We can do something about it though. It is called the ballot box. But so far even that has proved ineffective. All the responsibility and change you speak of should begin here, but it hasn't. Our officials are immune to the ballot box. They KNOW IT. We are in Tax Hell and there is nothing we can do about. As you drive by one of the Taj Mahals built by tax dollars, drive slow enough and you can hear the laughter.
That is why I am looking at Boca. Yes it is in Hurricane Alley 6 months out of the year with your chances being 1 in 6 that you take a hit. Here you are in TAX HELL, year round. You can run from a Hurricane, but if you stay here, the Tax Man Cometh year round. I'll take my odds at Boca.

St. Paul, MN 55102
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: St. Paul (Downtown)
Relive the scandal, the meltdowns, and the suspense of the 1994 Olympics with Tonya and Nancy: The Opera, a musical send-up of the biggest figure-skating drama the Olympics has ever seen. This Thursday Mixed Precipitation, which brings us Picnic Operetta each summer, remounts its satirical opera about the beautiful and elegant Nancy Kerrigan and the jealous Tonya Harding, who is willing to pull out all the stops to nab the gold. The fates of these two figure skaters are entwined in a tale where rivalry escalates to bloody revenge. With a libretto by Elizabeth Searle, music by Abigail Al-Doory Cross, and direction by Scotty Reynolds, Tonya & Nancy is packed with violence, passion, and, of course, ice-skating. In addition to the opera, the evening includes a selection from Shostakovich's Seven Romances performed in Russian, viewing of the Ladies' Long Program in Sochi, and trivia and prizes. For more information, visit mixedprecipitation.org. All ages.
