Painful, but funny
- rcallner Sep 12, 2010 09:26 AM
I was reading the thread about finger cutting while cooking, and it put me in mind of a rash of older, food-related injuries showing up in ERs that struck me as very funny - Popcorn Eye was one (staring immediately into a just-opened bag of freshly-popped microwave popcorn) and Bagel Hand another (back in the day when bagels were novel in much of the country and the uninitiated insisted on slicing same with one hand while holding with the unfortunate other).
I'm probably not a very nice person for getting such yuks out of this, but there it is...a few steps shy of the Darwin Awards. Any nominations for similarly hilarious mishaps?
Back when I was a line cook, I found it pretty hilarious that a couple of my colleagues managed to dunk their entire hand into the fryer. Yuk Yuk!
re: Beckyleach
LMAO @ dry roasted eyebrows.
there is also eyebrow and eyelash instant removal when you light the gas burner and it makes a woooooooof and blows up in your face.
we have boiling water hand scald when the electric kettle lid is not clipped in and you wonder why it won't turn itself off putting hand over the boiling top of the kettle to close it - duh.
re: im_nomad
jfood pulled that bonehead move once when he was reducing balsamic vinegar to a balsamic syrup for mozzy and tomatoes.
re: im_nomad
A few days ago, my chile powder looked a little clumpy. I make my own, and I *love* the way it smells. But it was clumpy, so I gave the jar a hard shake before I took the lid off and promptly (stupidly, idiotically, etc) buried my nose in the jar to inhale, on purpose. Thank god it was a mild batch. Even so, I had flaming nostrils for a good hour.
And I often manage to place my oven mitt, or my bare hand, directly over the steaming vent on my DO lid. The peek-a-boo burn.
And I do sometimes start wiping the stove down, and forget that I've only meant to wipe around the still-hot burners, and I put my hand right on the hot iron.
re: im_nomad
Or homemade horseradish sauce, took the top off the blender and took a big sniff, sinuses were clear for months. Also dropped a frozen ham on my foot, have a couple of very ugly toes.
re: BeefeaterRocks
Rhetorical question, but why is it that a ham-related injury is just so very hilarious?
Every year I get my "Thanksgiving Burn" When I burn my forearm taking the turkey out of the oven and it singes on oven wall somehow... EVERY DAMN YEAR!!!!
re: gryphonskeeper
I manage to remember the food I was cooking while garnering the array of burn scars up my arms, somehow I managed to scald above the elbow during pumpkin pie, and I have an impressive inner side elbow scar from Thanksgiving turkey. Painful, and you get to feel dumb at the same time....
re: rcallner
It has gotten to be almost comical. Every year they ask me "So where did you get the burn this time?"
re: rcallner
tiger stripes? I have plenty of faded ones from working in restaurant kitchens
re: gryphonskeeper
whimp, the sides are the not-so-hot part of the oven. You know that orange thing on the top of the oven...now you're talking hot. :-))
re: gryphonskeeper
that's better
re: gryphonskeeper
Every year? Count your blessings. I do the same g__d__ thing every other time I bake something. It's not my fault. I like to wear short sleeves at home, and no one's making elbow length oven mitts yet. Why not?!
re: gryphonskeeper
I have a row of four parallel burn scars just above my wrist from hitting the top of the oven while taking something out. Kind of amusing in a sick way.
re: DGresh
I've had those burns, too. Sadly, the last time, the pot holder had a thin spot I didn't know about so I burned my hand which made me jerk up and hit the top of the oven.
Sacrifices to the mandoline god are apparently fairly common, as I found out. Use the holder; they make it for a reason. I always cringe when I see people go w/out now. If you look closely, you can see a missing sliver in my thumb.
Oh, has anyone seen the arms of long time cooks in Chinese restaurants? Talk about war wounds.
re: chowser
ouch grated finger syndrome - also lost a few fingernails in the grater!
re: chowser
Um, I'm missing a tiny piece of thumb too. And I actually WAS using the holder!
re: chowser
Yeah, I took off a thumb tip once doing that. It grew back but there's still a scar.
On the other hand (so to speak) - my grandfather was a professional butcher - or as he preferred, "meat cutter" - and I inherited his huge, heavy cleaver, but I've never used it for its intended purpose. Every time I'm tempted to do so I remember those missing finger tips of his. I've only used it flat side down for pounding meats.
re: c oliver
The ones we read about Friday morning after attempted it in the garage.
re: EarlyBird
Done that too.......
re: gryphonskeeper
I've done that and passed out from the burn... had blisters all over the palm of my hand... and I've done it subsequently.... stupid brain!
re: EarlyBird
Ha! That's the one I was going to post. At least a few times a year. And yet I still looooooove my cast iron.
re: EarlyBird
add jfood to the list as well. then double-down on stupid when he places the skillet on the cooktop, plates the dinner and after placing the plates on the table returns to the kitchen, notices the pan and does not like it on the island and grabs the handle to move it. Oh crap.
now jfood places a mitt on the handle immediately after he plates and before he brings the plates to the table.
re: EarlyBird
There was a Topher Grace / Scarlett Johansson movie called "In Good Company" with a funny scene where Topher had invited himself over for dinner, and Marg Helgenberger and Dennis Quaid are arguing. As Marg removes the baked ziti out of the oven and faces Dennis to continue the argument, Dennis instinctively takes the casserole dish with his bare hands, then lets casserole dish shatter on the floor.
re: EarlyBird
The handle on my stainless steel skillet stays cool on the stove top. So why is it so hot when I try to remove it bare-handed from the oven?
re: al b. darned
Yep, same thing. I was roasting quail for dinner, with guests waiting at the table, and removed the stainless steel pan from the oven. 425F. The choice was save my hand or dinner. I chose the latter. Fortunately, I had some aloe gel, and applied it liberally. I had a red mark, but the gel worked remarkably well. I suffer for my art ;-)
Painful, for the one who got hurt. Funny for the observer.
Labor Day 1978, I was working for a local caterer, and was on duty in his restaurant. One of the young banquet chefs had to work in the restaurant on the holiday, it was her turn.
At 1:15 PM, she sliced her hand open on the deli slicer.
I wrapped her hand in a clean towel, tied a knot and took her to the emergency room at St. Raphael's hospital in New Haven.
An intern saw her shortly and she was left with her hand bleeding slowly into a metal bowl.
I called her father, a plastic surgeon in NYC, who then contacted the surgical resident to give instructions.
We sat and sat and sat, nothing was happening. When queried, the ER doc, said that this was a work accident and the Insurance company doctor would not let anything be done before he arrived.
The hurt chef, said that since her father was a plastic surgeon, the insurance company was probably scared of a lawsuit if the on call ER doc handled this.
At 5:45, the Insurance Company Doc finally showed, still dressed in tennis whites carrying a black bag. He apologized for the delay, but explained he was playing in the club championships.
The insurance doc opened his black bag, took out a polaroid and took a picture of the wound. He then told the ER doc to stitch it up and walked out. The chef was pissed, and I tried to keep from laughing in her face.
She later won a major suit against the insurance company for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.
She quit the food business and went to law school, She makes her money handling medical malpractice cases.
re: bagelman01
Edited to remove my commentary re: 'I tried to keep from laughing in her face'.
I went to the doctor about a pain between my left thumb and index finger that radiated down to my wrist. After eliminating possible causes I was given the ice/heat advice and told to take ibuprofen. Welll. bummed out and in pain I decided to drown my sorrows in chocolate. It was back when TJ's had the pound plus bars. I tried to break off a piece and then realized the culprit. The bars were pretty thick and I was too lazy to use a knife or other utensil so I used my hand.
re: free sample addict aka Tracy L
I think that's the best one yet... who knew that chocolate could be so dangerous?
Being a nurse and having worked in trauma I've seen a few interesting scenarios. I still think my favourite was a chap who amputated his finger while making sausages. What made it even more interesting was when I forgot to dispose of his finger and another staff member found it in the fridge a week later...oops!
Whenever I toasted sweetened shredded coconut in the oven, every time I opened the door to stir it and was too close to the oven, I got blasted with something akin to pepper spray. Eyes would shut and water painfully and my sinuses would burn. I was puzzled about this and one day I posted to a message board and someone said it was from the propylene glycol used to process supermarket sweetened coconut. I've since switched to unsweetened coconut from a natural foods store and no longer mace myself when toasting it.
re: stilton
So THATS what happened when I made coconut cookies.... I thought I needed to clean my oven.
re: PattiCakes
OWWWWW! It hurts just reading that one
re: PattiCakes
PattiCakes wins!!!!!!
Game over, nobody will beat that.
I love Cheetos, crunchy, ball shaped, whatever, something about that fake cheesy snack hits my guilty pleasure button. I also love hot stuff. Naturally when Cheetos came out with the giant fist sized balls in hot flavor, I had to get some.
A whole ball was held with my front teeth while I was staring at some numbers on the computer. A set of numbers grabbed my attention and I and took a huge breath in puzzlement. All the spicy cheese powder came off the ball and right into my lungs.
Immediate hacking fit and lungs on fire. Water wasn't going to help, nothing. I just had to tough it out. I was coughing and wheezing with tears streaming from my eyes. Everyone was wondering if I was okay. Of course everyone also knows my predilection for hot stuff so they were very amused at what happened after it was determined I'd be okay.
re: Jase
When I finished laughing at that, I remembered the time I got an whole Triscuit stuck to the roof of my mouth. The four corners had caught on the sides of my teeth, holding it up there firmly enough to panic me. It took a few moments to dislodge the thing, and I could think of was how long it would take a Triscuit to dissolve if I happened to be unsuccessful. Triscuits are very sturdy.
re: onceadaylily
When I was a child I got a Life Savers sucker lodged in my mouth so I can relate.
They make fist-sized Cheetos?
re: im_nomad
I think it was one of those limited edition deals. That's why it caught my eye. I was practically drooling in the aisle when I saw them. I normally stay away from snacking on potato chips or anything of that sort. But every 3-4 months I succumb to my cravings and destroy a large bag of puffy cheetos.
re: lacunacoil
Or bacon.... Never cook bacon and eggs while intoxicated and naked. Not that I would know of anything.... just sayin'
re: gryphonskeeper
After repetitive shoulder injuries & nerve damage, my father's left hand is numb from his middle finger over to his pinky. One year he was playing assistant in the kitchen around Thanksgiving and pulled the 23lb turkey out of the freezer, and ended up dropping it on his left hand. Everyone freaked out asking if he was okay, and he just laughed and said "I didn't feel a thing!" The best part was, after dropping the turkey on it, he regained feeling in his hand for a day or two, and now he likes to joke that if he wants to use his hand he needs a frozen turkey first.
Okay, not exactly painful, but once after eating a slice of pizza I felt a tickle at the back of my throat. Cough, cough; drink water; cough, choke; drink more water; gag, cough... Finally DH (who was just the BF at the time) got a flashlight, and there lodged at the very back of my throat was a piece of... something, likely an herb stem. Sticking straight into my throat and out, kind of below the uvula. No amount of drinking, swallowing, coughing would dislodge it. After much debate (and drama on my part) he finally got a pair of tweezers and went in after it. It took him nearly 10 minutes to grab onto it with the tweezers and keep them clamped on it before he could pull it out. When he finally got it, I really felt it pulling out, kind of like a thorn. Not funny until he removed it, then we couldn't stop laughing, it was just such a stupid thing to have happen. I still can't imagine how it managed to lodge so firmly into the back of my throat.
re: lisavf
Reminds me of catch-and-release fishing. Sometimes the fish senses that the best way out of a tough predicament may be to stay still and not to flop around, as you did.

FORT WAYNE – Indiana won four of five exhibition games on its recently concluded preseason trip to Canada.
Hoosiers coach Tom Crean said the experience was beneficial because his players saw a lot of different defensive strategies and were able to build an early cohesion.
They learned a lot the whole trip mentally and physically, Crean said. We had to play very physical, and it gives us a great indication of who needs what (and) of what we need to spend time in the fall on to prepare for. Getting a feel for one another for this type of youth on this team is very, very good for us.
Perhaps the most prominent part of the foreign excursion, allowed by the NCAA once every four years, is that it provided an early look at a pair of touted incoming freshmen shooting guards in game situations.
Crean liked what he saw out of former Bishop Luers standout James Blackmon Jr. In the final two outings, he had one performance of 21 points and five rebounds and another with 20 points.
He is a tremendous pull-up jump shooter, Crean said. He has such a gift of scoring and shooting and feel for the game that his passing will get better. His decision-making will get better but his ball-handling and explosion game has to continue to get better. That will come, and it will be pretty impressive when it does.
Blackmon learned something about this year's roster that, watching from afar, he didn't think was present a season ago.
I think we are a more vocal team this year, he said. This trip really helped us. Yogi (Ferrell) and I are really talking to each other about where we want the ball and getting together is going to be our strength.
Meanwhile, fellow recruit Robert Johnson posted 17 points in the final game and averaged just shy of double figures on the tour.
We wanted him to press a little bit, to be more out of his comfort zone and be someone who brings more commands to his teammates, Crean said of Johnson. You're always trying to put guys in uncomfortable situations for themselves so that they can become good in those. That was one of the great-added bonuses of this trip.

So, if you check my current armory, you'll see im still stacking pure STR (with crit on gems to meet socket bonuses).
I put my gear thru the spreadsheet when i bought my 264 chest, and realized if i change all my +20 STR to +20 ArP, and all my 10 STR/15 STA to 10 ArP/15 STA i will be "soft capped" with my NES procs.
but, i lose about 60 dps on the spreadsheet doing this. i know theres been a debate with ArP and STR, ive read and searched and read again to avoid mine being the millionth post about it. but the overwhelming consensus seems to be "stay away from ArP until you can soft cap", which i now can.
is it just as simple as my gear still being to low to be viable with ArP gemming, even at the soft cap?

Make Your Own Cranberry Sauceby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Holidays, Healthy Recipes, Thanksgiving, November 12, 2009
I love cranberry sauce any time of year, but it's a must-have for Thanksgiving. When fall hits, I'm all about finding creative new recipes to try. Ditch the canned stuff — it's usually packed with high-fructose corn syrup — and discover the taste of real, homemade cranberry sauce.


text: Prynhawn da, I had a most marvelous time at Med Faire. I would like to thank a few people. First To the many fine gentles that walked the ropes talking to the gathered crowds and answering questions. To all who kept the fighters Rapier and Chivalric watered to the wonderful drummers and dancers to those who sat for hour hours answering questions in the A&S tent. To all those who worked till their bodies said stop and then worked some more thank you. Adena as far back as I can remember you have given your all and then some. You are amazing and the world would be a darker sadder place if you were not in it. To all of the people that I made stronger this weekend you are welcome some of you were made stronger than others but know that the Owen love was shared equally to all who came to the field. Med faire is the Boston Marathon of fighting because it does not end until the faire is over. To those Rapier and Chivalric fighters who shared the glorious tournament field know that our actions have inspired the hearts and imaginations of thousands of people. To the Drummers and Dancers what an amazing display that was incredible and an inspiration to many whose hearts leaped with the movements and rhythms of the dancing and drumming. To the mighty, Landed Nobility of the Northern Region, you are an excellent inspiration to us all. It is indeed an awesome display when that many great people gather together. The hard work that all of you performed as set the bar high. I hope everyone is resting and has that awesome feeling of a job well done because you deserve it. Syr Owen ap Aeddan

Publish thy self: what's shaking up the literary world
As the digital age encourages more and more authors to self publish, how are the literary gatekeepers going to keep themselves relevant?
November 16, 2011 2:41 by kippreport
We are happy to find out our friend, Alexander McNabb of FakePlasticSouks.com, has just come out with his latest novel, Olives – A Violent Romance. The novel is now available in Kindle Edition and the print version will launch on November 20 and is hopefully going to be in UAE bookstores by end of the month.
This being his second novel (a third one is on the way), Alex has long discussed the author's option of self publishing. While he has a literary agent, he has finally opted to self-publish after the manuscript (MS) was shopped around and eventually passed by a dozen editors.
Alex talks at length about his experience of getting his MS to editors in his blog. His more recent posts here, here and here. He talks about a number of interesting elements and options authors and would-be-novelists must weigh now weigh.
Aside from telling you about our good friend's novel (book description here, btw), this discussion coincides with the Sharjah International Book Fair, which starts today and runs until November 26.
So now with more than a few ways for authors to reach readers directly, how is the literary world coping with these changes?
In true McNabb fashion, he starts one of these posts with a friend's quote that hits the nail right on the head:
"Literary agents are like eunuchs in the Ottoman court. They know it's done, they see it done all around them, but they're damned if they can do it for themselves."
A clear benefit to readers is the accessibility of different concepts, stories and ideals. But on the other hand, it may be more challenging for serious, dedicated authors, like Alex, to differentiate themselves from the crowd.
One could argue of course that the point here is that an environment where more writers self-publish would evolve into a free and open market, where anyone can publish and the readers get to decide for themselves whether they want to read a certain kind of book or not; the readers become the gatekeepers themselves. It's a thought that we suspect worries agents and editors.
But some could also argue that literary agents could reshape their role to help the balance of accessibility and weeding through all this content. But is that really a sustainable role?
Here's Alex's take on the matter in one of his many posts on self-publishing:
"I'm glad to still have Robin on board, despite my decision to self-publish. But looking back on it, I do rather regret having spent so much time, effort and money on trying to sell my books to literary agents. With the changes in today's publishing industry, the disruption of Amazon and e-books, the role of a literary agent to an author is no longer as critical as it was when I first started on this road."
(*Robin Wade of Wade and Doherty is Alex's agent.)
Any authors out there who are experiencing similar issues with publishing? Where do you see the literally world in five years? Or maybe even two?

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) - A commercial fisherman was found dead after an apparent boating accident in a Treasure Coast waterway.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that 26-year-old Cory R. Brangan was found alone Saturday morning on a 20-foot fishing. The vessel had run aground on a spoil island near the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Pierce.
The boat was damaged and appeared to have collided with something.
Brangan was found after his family reported him missing earlier Saturday morning.

'Snitch': How Much Do Critics Like Dwayne Johnson's New Crime Thriller?
The movie repertoire of Dwayne Johnson is nothing if not a roller coaster of ups and downs. With each good film, there seems to be a smattering of bad films -- in the eyes of critics, at least. However, Johnson's latest movie, Snitch, could be a serious "up" for the actor.
Scheduled for release on Friday, February 22nd, the crime-drama revolves around a freight company owner who gets involved in the inner workings of drug cartels in order to save his son from a life in prison. The margin for error in this type of film is colossal: It's easy for directors and actors in action films to get too trigger happy, so to speak, and overrun the movie with literal action, with no substance to make it mean anything emotionally.
Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
"What's surprising about Snitch is that, rather than taking the reductive path of offering innocuous emotional uplift or one-man-army action, it generates a feeling of real desperation and fear as it shows a man getting in way over his head when he takes on some very bad guys. In other words, this is a pretty good film starring an actor named Dwayne Johnson, not a commodity with The Rock as a hood ornament..."
Peter Debruge, Variety
"It's nice to have actors of [Susan] Sarandon and [Barry] Pepper's caliber onboard for the office-bound wheeler-dealer scenes, but mostly, it's the prospect of witnessing Johnson at the helm of an 18-wheeler as he rams his way through machine-gun fire that excites..."RogerEbert.com
"Who would have guessed Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would deliver the best work of his career playing a guy who squares off against a pack of small-time street thugs — and winds up face down on the ground, his mug bloodied and his wallet gone..."
Chris Knight, The National Post
"There isn't much to dislike about Snitch, but it's not the most subtle of movies. [Director, Ric Roman] Waugh uses a trowel to apply his message, when a fine brush would do. But Johnson knows how to radiate charm and integrity, while still managing to be believable in the car-chase shoot-'em-up that is the film's climax..."
Lou Lumenick, The New York Post
"Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson eschews his usual action heroics until way too late in this weepy melodrama, which begins with his naive teenage son being arrested by the feds after being set up with a delivery of Ecstasy by a pal trying to avoid a drug rap..."ComingSoon.net
"Snitch offers an incredible human story in following John Matthews' journey, one filled with tension and drama, and it leaves you thinking in a way we rarely get from typical "action movies" these days..."
So, after the review roundup, will you be going to see Snitch? Or are you afraid it will just be another mindless action movie? Sound off below!

Guestbook comments from the owner
We were lucky enough to stay on St. John for two and a half weeks for our honeymoon. During that time, we stayed in three villas. One near Cruz Bay, one near Fish Bay and the third was Horizons Cottage near Coral Bay.
Horizons had the nicest views hands down, more "goodies", most comfortable bed and was the least expensive of all the places we stayed! What a great deal.
Horizons Cottage is in a cute little neighborhood with a lunch restaurant/bar (The Tourist Trap-good food!) within walking distance..and a "real" dinner restaurant also around the corner at Concordia. You can also walk to Salt Pond Bay, my favorite snorkel spot on St. John.
We will definitely be back to Horizons. Now I see why you're booked so quickly in season! Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

See two albums of pictures from graduation. Like the Times Free Press on Facebook to tag the photos.
Album one: The event
Album two: The diplomas
Less than a month before his high school graduation, Shay Cope's home and school were destroyed, his father's business was ruined and his girlfriend's best friend — his classmate — died in April's tornadoes.
But as the Ringgold High School senior graduated Friday night he wasn't sad, angry or bitter about his losses. He was happy he got the chance to finish school.
"To see all my friends and make sure they're all safe, it was good to see everybody's all right," he said standing in McKenzie Arena among 210 other blue-cap-and-gown-clad Tigers. "It's a blessing."
Cope's family is staying with friends while they rebuild their home and business and while Cope and the rest of Ringgold's students finished their last three weeks of classes at Heritage High School.
The experience hasn't been easy, but several at the ceremony said students rarely let circumstances bring them down.
"The students have been the examples for the adults," Catoosa County Schools Superintendent Denia Reese said. "They did everything we've asked them to do and they never complained."
As the students stood in a hot room, many of them sweating under their heavy robes and hats, Ringgold's graduating class still didn't complain. Some were nervous, others emotional, but all excited for the culmination of their high school careers.
"It's been really hectic and confusing," senior class Vice President Payne Richmond said just before walking out in front of the hundreds of parents, family, friends and community members who packed the arena. "It's kind of bittersweet."
That sentiment seemed representative of the feelings of most in the audience as thoughts of the tornadoes wove themselves throughout the ceremony.
"Our class, the class of 2011, will always be seen as the class that adapted," senior class Secretary Hannah Clark said to her class in a welcoming address. "Don't let go of the lessons you have learned."
Reese said she certainly won't forget what she's learned from the class. As she stood on stage after ceremonies were over, one student ran up, hugged and swung her around, thanking her for her help through the years.
"It's hard to see them leave," she said. "This will always be a class that we'll be close to and remember."
Just before Ringgold's graduation, "American Idol" runner-up Lauren Alaina Suddeth visited McKenzie Arena for the graduation of her brother from Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School.

Consider the Argument from Contingency:
1. All contingent facts, including the existence of our universe (i.e. the continuous space-time region that we inhabit), have an explanation.
2. The conjunct of all of the contingent facts is itself a contingent fact.
3. Therefore, there is an explanation of the conjunct of all of the contingent facts.
4. The explanation of the conjunct of all of the contingent facts cannot itself be contingent.
5. Therefore, the explanation of the conjunct of all of the contingent facts must be a necessary fact.
6. Therefore, there exists a necessary entity that explains all of the contingent facts, including the existence of our universe.
We are supposed to conclude from this that God exists. This is presumably because God, as a necessarily existent being, is the only possible necessarily existent entity that could explain the existence of our universe. As I will explain in this post, I reject arguments of the form 1-6. (I should also note that the Argument from Contingency — or Leibniz's Cosmological Argument, as it is sometimes called — is often expressed differently.)
My friend Z recently approached me on Facebook to ask about the Argument from Contingency. Richard Howe, from Southern Evangelical Seminary, is visiting Z's campus and Z wanted to have a better understanding of some objections to ask Howe for his opinion on. I should note that I have not read Howe's work (nor do I know if 1-6 is precisely what he has in mind) so I am not aware of whether or not he has considered the objections I offer in this post. Nonetheless, I thought that this would be a good time to reflect on a few of my responses to popular versions of the Argument from Contingency.
One of the first things to notice about the Argument from Contingency is that it does not support the existence of God. It supports the existence of a Necessarily Existent Something or Other that created the universe. The atheist is free to simply concede this argument entirely.
But let's suppose that this was sufficient to show that the God of classical theism (a god with the four omni properties) existed. There are significant problems for a theology that involves a necessarily existent being. Here are a few of them.

My name is Rusty and I am a rust colored basset hound mix. The kind folks here at the Humane Society rescued me from another facility. While checking me over they did daggone test to me and said I needed to have a heartworm treatment done. Man oh man now I gotta come up with $200 so I am able to go to a new home. Can you help an ole country dog out?
One simple test may answer some questions you may have about man's best friend.
A doggie DNA test called Wisdom Panel takes a blood sample from your mutt and then breaks down exactly what breeds he or she is made up of.
Veterinarians say this can be useful if you are concerned about a certain breed's temperament or what illnesses they are prone to.
The blood test is 95 percent accurate and costs about $130. Results are returned in about two weeks.

More than $1.1b gambled in Maine casinos last year
The figures were released Friday in the Maine Gambling Control Board's 2013 annual report.
Bangor's Hollywood Casino, meanwhile, saw customers gamble $469 million at its slot machines, $100 million less than the year before. It paid out $422 million.
"We get daily numbers, so we had been watching the trend," said Patrick Fleming, the board's executive director. "When Hollywood was the only facility in the state, everyone went there."
There was a "honeymoon period" last year with players checking out the newer Oxford Casino, he said. "We're kind of expecting that Bangor will now plateau. Oxford went through two expansions in that first year, so we're kind of getting them to, I think, the size they're going to remain for a while."
As of January, Oxford had 858 slot machines and 26 table games; Hollywood had 888 slot machines and 16 table games.
The Gambling Control Board has an inspector on site at both Oxford and Hollywood whenever they're open. Fleming said he's been generally pleased with both operations.

We've been telling you about OLED TV for quite some time. Now, LG Electronics is going to start shipping another one of these coveted sets.
However, this isn't your typical OLED TV, but one with a curved screen. The company is now taking orders in South Korea for the 55-inch 55EA9800 Curved OLED TV. Priced at $13,500, the TV will ship to that side of the world starting next month.
The 55-incher will join LG's flat-screen OLED TV, which began shipping to Korean customers back in February.
RELATED: Understanding OLED TVs
LG says that the ergonomic design delivers an "IMAX-like" viewing experience. Other features include proprietary WRGB technology, the Four-Color Pixel system, LG's Color Refiner and thin transparent film speakers inside the stand—all in a set that measures a mere 0.17 inches thin.
"Our Curved OLED TV is not only the proof of LG's unmatched leadership in next-generation displays but also a testament to LG's commitment to bringing to market the most exciting TV technology available today," said Havis Kwon, president and CEO of LG's Home Entertainment Company.
LG plans to announce availability and pricing of the Curved OLED TV in markets outside of Korea sometime in the near future.

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Question: Assalmualaikum !! I have been married 23 years, have one son 21 years and a daughter 20 years. My husband embraced Islam in 1990 and married me. We run a business [together] since 1995. He has been cheating on m[e] for 20 years now. In September 2012, he secretly married another Muslim woman. She broke her family to get my husband. I applied [for] a divorce and he refused and promised my Qazi that he applied [for] a divorce for the 2nd marriage and want to live with me. The 3rd hearing for the divorce of the 2nd marriage is [in] Feb 2014. But still he is cheating with other women. Please help me to stop his bad habit. I pray so much and ask du'a. I am fed up with his lies. Apart from this he does not take liquor, he is a good person and helpful. Thank you. I await your reply, Cheated on for 20 years Answer: Bismillah ir-Rahman-ir Raheem Infidelity is a major issue in marriages these days. It sounds like this is something you have dealt with for many years in your marriage. One thing that is very important in order for marriages to last after one spouse has cheated, is that the cheating spouse has to feel remorse and that they have truly done something wrong and immoral. Based on your knowledge, he has engaged in this evil act for many years, and it does not appear that he has this belief or this remorse for his wrong actions. Even with his 2nd marriage, it doesn't seem that he takes the sacred nature of marriage seriously since he seemed so quick to agree to divorce her. The marital bond is based on trust, compassion, love, and faith. When a spouse cheats, that trust is broken so deeply that it takes a lot of time, effort, patience and work to make the marriage successful again. Rebuilding trust is a long and difficult process. It can be done, but it is harder to do with each extramarital affair. The Qur'an is very clear in Surah Al-Isra, ayah 32 that we are not to even go near zina, let alone engage in it. In Allah's infinite wisdom, He tells us to stay away from this sin knowing there are such damaging consequences when this becomes an issue in marriage. Statistics show that it is very difficult for a cheater to not cheat again. Unless your husband is able to take accountability for his past sinful behavior and show you ways he will re-commit to your marriage, it will be very difficult for your marriage to be successful without any infidelity. Allah knows best. May Allah guide you to what's best for you and your children. Ameen. If you have a question for our counselors you can ask here.

How is it not Zina if he went behind her back to meet and do other stuff that ends in a marriage? Also asking for guidance, I thought that polygamia was ok in our religion if and only if he gets the approva/pernissionl of the first wife (or 1st and second wife in case of adding a third). If i am mistaken could someone please direct me to the exact verse/quote? Thanks a lot! 2 0 Reply Aly Balagamwala | DiscoMaulvi February 17, 2014 To the best of my knowledge, there is no Islamic condition that requires permission of existing wives to take on a new one. However, this could be an added clause in the marriage contract. Pakistan by law has this condition, except for a few cases which allow this to be bypassed. *Comment above is posted in a personal capacity and may not reflect the official views of MuslimMatters or its staff* 1 3 Abu Milk Sheikh February 22, 2014 Can I ask why a totally mundane and basically redundant (other people have answered the questionl) comment of mine (the one in this article) gets approved, while a comment of mine that actually adds value to the discussion in the 'red wine and hojabis' article hasn't passed moderation? Jazakallahu khairan 0 0 Aly Balagamwala | DiscoMaulvi February 23, 2014 Most comments are cleared automatically unless something causes it to be flagged or the commenter is on our moderation list based on past history. Or the article could be on full moderation (for example this one). The author has the final say on any comments being approved and can keep comments on hold until they get the chance to reply to them. Hope that clarifies our procedure. Warm Regards Aly 0 0 Abu Milk Sheikh February 20, 2014 Going by what was stated in the question and the timeline, the second marriage was one specific instance (that was not cheating) but there were other instances of cheating. Allahu a'lam whether these were secret marriages or zina. 0 3 Reply rashad July 14, 2014 "He has been cheating on m[e] for 20 years now. In September 2012, he secretly married another Muslim woman." We're not in 2032……….. 1 1 Reply Jon Solis February 13, 2014 I find it interesting that the letter writer laments about her husbands infidelity but states that other than that he is "a good person." A man violates the most sacred oath he makes in his lifetime and is a "good person?" I don't think so. When Clinton lied under oath, his defenders said it was OK because he was lyng about sex. WRONG! When you lie about the fidelity within your marriage, you are untrustworthy about everything. I would not do business with someone who was cheating on his wife because someday that person is most likely to deal with me dishonestly. Only rarely does a leopard change its spots. 29 2 Reply Umm ZAKAriyya February 13, 2014 The question seems a little confusing . Has the husband " cheated" , as in engage in extramarital affair ? Or cheated by concealing the truth from his wife and not telling her he had another wife? Though both actions are shocking , they are not the same . Agree with the person above . A person who can't value a sacred trust like marriage , cannot be trusted with other things . Unless he/she repents for their sins of course . 19 2 Reply rzar February 16, 2014 Yes, it appears her husband has been cheating for 20 years.. then he secretly married a second wife, that he divorced – but is cheating again. 0 0 Mahmud February 13, 2014 Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh The dayouth will not enter Paradise. Ma'adhaAllah lest this happens to me. 1 0 Reply Abu Muhammad February 13, 2014 Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.I meant to say it is permitted to have up to 4 wives. 0 5 Reply Abu Muhammad February 13, 2014 Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.The counselor should encourage the woman to try and stay with her husband. From what the woman wrote, there is nothing wrong about her husband except that he has a 2nd wife. When Allah (SWT) is so forgiving, why are we not? How can we be so hopeful for Allah (SWT)'s mercy, but not show any mercy to others? I advise the counselor to not be so quick to take sides. Rather, seek proper mushwara when advising others because your advise holds a lot weight when it comes to the person asking the question. This is actually something we learn in counseling school. We should never take sides, but learn to be neutral. It is not our job to tell clients what to do. 4 8 Reply Lalalande February 17, 2014 Salam alikoum, TLDR : Your comment comes across a guilt tripping and unfair and I wish you wouldn't do it. It's hard enough to be a woman in this crappy world, we don't need our Muslim brothers to push our head down when we are already drowning :(. Longer version: My understanding of our faith on this point (please do guide me if i misunderstood) is that we women, have a say in whether or not a husband can bring on a second wife or not. Let alone a third or a fourth. The decision is up to us. And we shall not feel guilty about it. I agree that Allah (SWT) is Merciful and thank Allah for that, but we are merely human, we are flawed and we hurt. And while we must strive to emulate the best of Allah's teaching and the behaviour of Our prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) 's behaviour, at the end of the day we are perfectible. And it seems that Allah (SWT) in His infinite "knowledge" understands that which he has created, some situation are just too much to be merciful, it's just too much to for the heart to take. That's why a woman has the righteous right to divorce, and to hold onto her feelings without being guilt tripped about it. It's probably not your intention but it's exactely how your comments reads. "From what the woman wrote, there is nothing wrong about her husband except that he has a 2nd wife. When Allah (SWT) is so forgiving, why are we not? How can we be so hopeful for Allah (SWT)'s mercy, but not show any mercy to others?" >>> quote in point. it;s guilt tripping and unfair to suggest that if she holds onto her position she may get a mirror image on Judgment day. Also you say nothing is wrong with her husband? How so ? First of all he's been cheating for 20 years, and is STILL cheating. Second how do you reconcile the fact that having a second wife secretly is ok? How did he meet her? talked to her? get familiar and friendly enough to marry her without his wife's knowledge? Isn't this like a top 10 list of the biggest sins? 5 0 Reply Mahmud February 17, 2014 It might be a bit unclear, but perhaps he was doing zina and that is what she meant by cheating, or perhaps he married another woman behind her back, and that is what he meant by cheating. 0 0 Reply Mahmud February 17, 2014 "she meant by cheating 0 0 UmOuthmaan February 13, 2014 I wonder what the brother's side of the story is…let's not be quick to judge or give advice from only hearing one side of things. 10 6 Reply rzar February 13, 2014 It seems your marriage was compromised 20 years ago. I think you should leave..it has not been a good fulfilling marriage for the both of you. You need a faithful husband, he is not striving to make you happy and content by continuing to cheat. I pray Allah you find a better husband! 9 1 Reply Sumiyah February 14, 2014 Assalamo Alaikum I went through a similar experience in marriage…not wanting to divorce for years. (aswell as my own fears, coming from a Pakistani Mirpuri background prevented me from taking any action). Eventually he divorced me while I was a full-time student and left me with 3 young children… I moved on with the, Grace of Allah…I completed my degree and PGCE. I am currently working as a teacher and ….remarried year and a half ago. Finally I can FOCUS on my Deen rather than constantly crying and begging! 20 0 Reply Fritz February 16, 2014 "He has been cheating on m[e] for 20 years now" I 'm not sure I quite understand this part of the comment. Does that mean he was having an affair for 20 years? 0 0 Reply Yasmin February 16, 2014 Assalamu alaikum :) Dear sister, what you must be going through is hard to come to terms to. Your husband has definitely treaded the line too far, in regards to the right to marry up to four wives maximum. There is a fine juncture when it comes to marrying another wife. There needs to be concrete reasoning and rationality rather than to be frivolous with the right. He probably didn't think twice about it. Hopefully inshaAllah, he will learn to understand the real sanctity of marriage as Allah subhana wa ta'ala intended. I cannot judge on what terms he decided to marry without your consent nor acknowledgement. The most important thing to ask yourself if whether you are still in love with him and have to capacity to forgive and reconciliate? You are satisfied with his character and such. From then on, he will be able to confide in you better about his conscience. Perhaps the beauty of trust and confidentiality needs to be built properly. 2 0 Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply

Spanish king's son-in-law makes court appearance
Spanish king's son-in-law makes court appearance
PALMA DE MALLORCA, Spain — Protesters jeered the Spanish king's son-in-law before he was questioned Saturday by a judge about allegations he and a partner funneled away millions of euros through fraudulent deals.
The investigation has deeply embarrassed the monarchy in a country hard hit by a financial crisis and sky-high unemployment. The scandal ranks among the worst public relations mishaps the royal household has experienced in the 37-year reign of King Juan Carlos.

- Would not recommendDisappointedd9erDined on 8/31/2014We had a threesome for Sunday brunch. We made reservations for 10:00 (the time it opened). We were thereon time and seated promptly. We then waited 45 minutes for 2 omelets and a breakfast sandwich. While the food was OK, it was not exceptional and it MOST CERTAINLY WAS NOT worth waiting 45 minutes. We were offered coffee; the refill was done by the waiter taking our cups somewhere out of sight after which he returned with filled cups - we could only hope that he either had new/clean cups or returned the used cups to the correct "owner". The process seemed unsanitary to us. We will not return.

Welcome to the Stamford NAACP
Jack Bryant, President
Born and raised in Stamford Jack Bryant currently serves as President of the Stamford NAACP. A product of the New York Theological Seminary, he considers himself as a P.W.C. which means "Potter's Wheel Christian". He continues to be molded by God.
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. From the ballot box to the classroom, the thousands of dedicated workers, organizers, leaders and members who make up the NAACP continue to fight for social justice for all Americans.
Jack started his work with the Stamford NAACP as the Youth Advisor for the Stamford NAACP Youth Council. During this time a partnership with the 100 Black Men, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Stamford Alumni Inc., and the Stamford NAACP Youth Council created an SAT Preparation Course in conjunction with the Princeton Review. This partnership offered SAT Prep Courses to students at a reduced cost.
Also during this time the Mighty Stamford NAACP Community Youth Choir was born. A group of 50 youth started singing at local churches and venues. Their talent was recognized by churches outside of Connecticut as the choir began traveling the East Coast ministering in song.
The members of the Stamford NAACP Youth Council also became involved in voter registration campaigns and volunteer missions. Jack left his role as Youth Advisor to become the 1st Vice President of the Stamford NAACP Adult Branch. He wasn't there long before he was elevated to President within a year.
Under his term as President, the Stamford NAACP along with its mission as a "reactive" organization also became a "proactive" organization. The Law and You Workshop was born with the objective of inproving the relationship between our youth in the community and the police department. Under the leadership of Jack Bryant the Stamford NAACP has become and still is a vital organization within the community it serves dealing with Education, Health, Housing and Criminal Justice issues.
The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.
