It'll be the Battle of Brothers in New Orleans in two weeks.
John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens topped New England 28-13 to win the AFC title game and set up a Super Bowl meeting with his brother Jim. It will be the Ravens first Super Bowl appearance in 12 years.
Joe Flacco threw three second-half touchdown passes while the Ravens shutout Tom Brady and the Patriots offense after intermission. New England held a 13-6 halftime lead. Brady had been 67-0 at home when leading at the intermission.
The Baltimore victory avenged a loss to New England in last year's conference title game.
The win extends Ravens' linebacker Ray Lewis' career and gives him a chance to go out on top. He's announced this is his last season.
Earlier Sunday, Jim Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers staged their own comeback, rallying from 17 points down to beat Atlanta 28-24 in the NFC title game.
Frank Gore scores on a 9-yard run with 8:23 to go to complete the comeback and send San Francisco to the Super Bowl for the sixth time in franchise history. Gore had two touchdowns.
Niners quarterback sensation Colin Kaepernick (KAP'-ur-nihk) shredded the Atlanta defense, completing 16 of 21 passes for 233 yards and a score.
Atlanta raced out to the 17-0 lead early in the second quarter on the strength of two of Matt Ryan's three touchdown passes and led 24-14 at the half.
The 49ers pulled off the biggest comeback victory in an NFC championship game, according to STATS. The previous NFC record was 13 points.
But it's the 49ers that are Super Bowl bound this time. It'll be the sixth appearance in the NFL's big game for the franchise, but the first since 1995. The Niners have won the previous five.

anyone wanna meet in fl?
anyone wanna meet in fl?
I know we do have a ton of guys in Florida. Have they just not seen your thread?
This is the first i see of it...
As long as it's in Central Florida i wouldn't mind meeting
I'd be up for it, but I work odd hours. Scheduling would be a bitch for me.
I'm in the North (brrrrr - Tallahassee)
I'm in central Florida, brand new to JUB, and loving it! I'd be willing to meet, but when and where?
bump, because folks from florida should want to meet.
I'm in orlando - if anyone wants to get together after the new year i wouldn't mind planning it - send me an email or pvt and i'll set everything up.
email: removed email address
I live in the Ft. Liqourdale area.
I'll be in Ft. Lauderdale the first week(s) of March, I'll have to check the Circuit bar; been to Alibi, Boom...
I've been out since I was 13, and I'm 21 now. But I've never been to any gay bars or gay clubs. Mater of fact, I just went to my first gay place on Saturday, and that was Hamburger Mary's. The reason why I haven't been to any gay places is like, I've always only had straight guys friends who don't wanna go to gay places. So like, I'm lookin for gay friends. If anyone lives near me (I live in Sunrise) then IM me.

Hey guys--Fort Myers here! would love to hang with a cool guy and see what happens!
Just got back from Ft. Lauderdale.....WOW!
Between Alibi, Boom, Colliseum, Cathode Ray, and Hamburger Mary's, I had quite a fun time in four days! I'll definately be back soon to Ft. Lauderdale!
Tampa here. Are people still interested in meeting?
There is NOTHING like Fort Lauderdale. I'm in Orlando now, because of business, but lived there for several years. I'd go back in a heartbeat! Cathode Ray is one of my old haunts!Originally Posted by thewiz
Well, who wants to plan a Ft. Lauderdale (Liqourdale) meet up?
Porn for Patric: is my blog about porn sites and porn stars, guys I find hot and some of my photography
This forum is NOT about hook ups or any other sexual encounters, just so you know. It is a forum designed to facilitate larger regional group JUB meet ups. Thanks.Originally Posted by djbadog71
sure... why not. tampa would be my choice. if not Miami
how many of you all are coming for gay days?
i live like 45 minutes north of tampa, but if the guys a cool, i can take a drive
I'd like to do a JUB Meetup, but I think we're all spread around the state. I'm thinking Tampa or Orlando might be a good spot for a Meetup since is sort of in the middle and easily accessed from both North and South Florida.
Porn for Patric: is my blog about porn sites and porn stars, guys I find hot and some of my photography
I will be in DW the first week in December if some want to meet
Orlando here! I would need enough advanced notice to make some arrangements. I've been needing a little get-a-way anyhow. Will consider any reasonable destination!
Orlando is the closest for me ... sounds cool!
clearwater here love to attend an underwear party
i will be in tampa,florida -st pete this weekend dec 8-10.. anyone up to meet with an asian guy age 25. look young.
email me at REMOVED EMAIL ADDRESS
if you guys were to meet either in MIA or FLL, there are a couple of us here in Bogotá who would be very interested in coming up for the get together
Yes, definately central Florida for me, as transportation and funds are SERIOUS considerations for me at the moment, and my mom lives in Osteen.
Dog days of summer would be ideal because business gets slow at the nursery and i can possibly schedule vacation then, like late july and august
I'd like to meet up one of these days. Orlando here.
So are we really going to do this?
if so, when - let's make a decision.
we've been talking about it for over a year.
let's meet up at Lava Lounge in orlando the last weekend in January?
what do you all think.
i couldn't figure out how to edit my previous post ---- but let's plan it for end of july then - that way it'll give us time to let everyone know and make sure everyone can take the time off work for that day if they need to.
what are good dates for you all in July?
sounds ideal for me; maybe around the weekend near the 4th MIGHT be good, but probably leter in the month would be better. I just had an unplanned few days' leave at work, so now i need to wait a few weeks before probing for more time off right now. but i WILL plan for a trip to central florida in the month of july
lava would be great. i was just there last weekend.

Im new to JUB but I live in Tampa and wouldnt mind meeting up with others from FL.
I've removed your phone number from the thread and I want to remind to please please do NOT put your phone number in any JUB post, and also I think it's a bad idea to post your phone number anywhere on the internet.
Also, as everyone knows, the Group Gatherings Forum here at JUB is a place for group meeting where all are welcome - including all the women of the board. If you're thinking you're like meet someone with the idea that your connection will turn into something a little sexier or spicier then please visit this forum here.
Orlando here
It seems like most of us congregate around the central FL section.
West Central FL here. South of Tampa Bay.
I understand that since the Suncoast Resort in St. Petersburg is closing in a couple of weeks, one of the FL Gay Tabloids (Watermark, I believe) has made a deal to buy the Holiday Inn, just off the Sunshine Skyway bridge in St. Pete (it literally overlooks the bridge). Might be a great alternative to Tampa, if they pull-off the deal in time. Travelers could make it a weekend outing that way, if they wanted.
^ you're from venice, I originally came from Sarasota so I guess we were almost neighbors. Wow I hope the deal goes through, it would be great.
Fort Myers here Sounds like a good time! Keep me posted please!!!

Hey, does anyone know of any nude beaches in the Tampa area? Not trying to start a grouping or anything, just though this would be a good place to ask.

Tire gauges
pathstar1 Posts: 1,015Just purchased a tiny digital gauge from Canadian Tire for $6 or so. It's called a "Tire Minder". I compared it to my Accugauge and they both indicate the same pressure. It fits on valve stems much easier than the Accugauge. A large gauge body can make use difficult. The "Tire Minder" is nice and small. It may not last very long as it is rather cheaply made, but at this price you can afford one for every glove box, bicycle, and lawnmower!
pathstar1 Posts: 1,015My accugauge appears to be accurate. I'm comparing to all other gauges I see, and the accugauge is supposed to be a sophisticated and accurate gauge. It got good reviews by those who test gauges (and posted in this forum). People need to chill out on this accuracy thing. If the gauge is out 10% (5% would be what I would expect with an electronic gauge) that is 3 PSI in 30 PSI. My tire pressure varies that much just from the heat of the sun. The electronic gauges could be out about 5% - I say this as this is "standard engineering accuracy". That would be 1.5 PSI in 30. That's pretty accurate. The rod type mechanical gauges can be out a lot more that that, because even a speck of dirt on the slider can stop it short of the true reading. I had one that got bent in my pocket! Imagine how inaccurate it was. Also the electronic gauges are more likely to be out the same over the full scale of pressures - for example 1 PSI high or low at any reasonable pressure it is designed to measure. The same cannot be said of mechanical gauges. The fact that the accugauge reads the same as the Tire Minder kind of gives confidence they are both close. That is, the chance they are both out the same amount is lower than the chance they are both accurate.
As long as you use the same gauge on the same vehicle and monitor the tire performance, you can adjust for gauge accuracy. eg - if you see the outside of the tread wearing faster than the centre (even on each side), then you are probably underinflating.
And my final word - What makes you think the vehicle/tire manufacturers pressure recommendations are the best for your use? We've already seen one case where there are questions to be raised! -
tosh Posts: 2I have the same Brookstone tire gauge, and it is almost as old. I am 99-44/100% sure that it is a rebranded G.H. Meiser Accu-Gage H60X (with the rubber guard). See link title
Brookstone still carries a similar model, also almost certainly a Meiser Accu-Gage: link title That one lacks the hose, but partially makes up for it by having a swivel chuck instead of the straight chuck of our model. -
tosh Posts: 2Nextech is just a Circuit City house brand. As noted elsewhere on this thread, Accutire is the brand of the Virginia importer of a Chinese line of tire gauges. Chances are the one you see at Circuit City with Circuit City's house brand is identical. Similarly, Monkey Grip is a line of Chinese-made tire gauges you can buy at many auto parts shops, but go to an Ace hardware store, and you will find identical tire gauges there under the Ace brand: the two are identical except for the printing on the cardboard the bubble plastic is attached to.
dboe Posts: 69Personally, I think digital gauges are more hype. I have a digital (highly rated). And I have a pencil gauge from the emergency kit of a '91 Taurus. They consistently read within a pound of each other.
I like the pencil gauge better actually. It fits better over the valve and takes an instant reading. I can do two tires in the time it takes the digital to do one. Of course, it does not have a techie digital display -
tireman9 Posts: 8Sorry Pathstar1 but as a tire engineer with 40 years experience in design & Quality I do not consider +/- 5% to be "standard engineering accuracy".
If you really knew how to measure tire pressure you would know that you are to measure "cold" and that does not include being warmed by the sun if you want to be accurate.
RE Stick type gauges I have measured a number and found some to be off by 25%. Depends on how much dirt has gotten into the works.
I do believe that in general digital gauges are likely to be more accurate than analog ones. The two digitals I use have been checked against an ISO calibrated master gauge and one was + 0.5psi and the other - 0.5psi.
Now If you check your tire inflation at least once a month and if you never run less than the minimum specified by the vehicle manufacturer you are probably OK. Of course that assumes the vehicle mfg did not specify an inflation that only has a 1 psi margin of safety. -
capriracer Somewhere in the USPosts: 803
jrodshop Posts: 1Thanks. Very helpful. I was checking tire pressure on my wife's car yesterday and automatically grabbed the old stick gauge. 32 lbs in each tire. When i started the car back up, I cross-checked with the Impala's own built-in digital tire pressure checker. It read 35 lbs in each tire. A couple of years ago my wife bought me a Victor Talking Digital Tire Gauge. It's been in a toolbox in the barn ever since, and I forgot I had it. I think it is a V-871, but cannot find the directions. 'came with a nice leather case. When I found it and couldn't remember why I had not been using it, I pulled it out and pressed the button to turn it on -- nothing happened. Nothing on the LCD display. I brought it in the house to replace batteries. 5 tiny Phillips screws hold the back on. So, I decided research it a bit online. I found mention of digital gauges that have non-replaceable batteries. Not having access to directions I decided to not waste time until I found out if they are replaceable. This morning, I pressed the red power button one more time and the LCD display came on. Can you suggest a place to download directions for this thing? Who owns Victor? Do they have a website with customer support?

Chicago, Emanuel won along with Obama, mayor's allies say
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall firstname.lastname@example.com November 7, 2012 12:46PM
Mayor Raym Emanuel at McCormick Place on Tuesday night.
Article Extras
Updated: December 9, 2012 7:32PM
President Barack Obama's re-election — and Mayor Rahm Emanuel's front-and-center role in it — will pay dividends for Chicago, mayoral allies predicted Wednesday.
Emanuel's campaign promise to extend the CTA's Red Line to 130th Street, create bus rapid transit lanes and build a 100-mile network of bike lanes are all possibilities now that Obama has won a second term, mayoral aides and allies said. Add to that the increased likelihood for federal "Race to the Top" funding for Chicago Public Schools and federal funding to make government buildings more energy-efficient, they said.
"To the extent that it positions President Obama to have four years without worrying about a re-election in the offing helps us," said Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th), the mayor's City Council floor leader.
"It's the freedom of a second term that is appealing for Chicagoans," O'Connor said. "The mayor's agenda hasn't changed. His asks have not changed. He's always asked for what he thought was important for Chicago. We may be even more successful now because the president isn't looking at a re-election coming up in his rearview mirror. He's only looking at the next four years to try and solve the country's problems. Chicago is an important part of this country and I think he'll help us try and solve our problems."
Ald. Edward M. Burke (14th), chairman of the City Council's Finance Committee, added, "I don't think it's an overstatement to say that there is no mayor in America [who] has a better link to the White House than Mayor Emanuel."
Emanuel could not have played a more prominent role in the Obama campaign.
He kicked off the primary campaign by delivering a rousing testimonial to Obama's leadership before Iowa Democrats, then did the same at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
After the convention address, Emanuel announced he had stepped down as co-chairman of Obama's re-election campaign to serve as chief fundraiser for a political action committee supporting the president. The mayor then put his legendary fundraising skills to work to help Democrats narrow the gap with Republican PAC's.
As one of Obama's most effective campaign surrogates, Emanuel also spent the two closing weekends campaigning for Obama in the battleground states of Ohio and Florida, with a particular emphasis on his fellow Jewish voters in Florida.
In the final days, Emanuel rallied the troops at Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago and did a whirlwind of interviews with radio stations in battleground states.
If Emanuel had done all of that, only to see his former boss lose the White House, it would have been a huge blow to his political prestige and his practical ability to win federal funding for Chicago.
Not only would he have found it difficult to get his phone calls returned by the White House and Cabinet secretaries, his role as Obama's chief campaign surrogate might have made him and Chicago a target for retribution.
Now, the Red Line extension and other big-ticket items on the mayor's agenda are alive and well.
Emanuel's clout with the White House has already won the NATO Summit for Chicago. Who knows what a second Obama term will bring?
"It doesn't hurt to have been the president's chief of staff, and it certainly doesn't hurt to have been an integral part of his re-election effort. But I don't think Rahm did it just because it was going to be helpful to Chicago. That's a byproduct," O'Connor said.
"He's an all-in type of individual in politics and in government," he said. "He did it because he truly believes in the president. He is a great friend of the president. Obviously, when two good friends are working to make peoples' lives better, you hope they'll be able to come up with some concrete results. That's what we hope for."

Top of the line pearl white 2011 Dakar B2 650B (large 19") purchased spring 2012 and not actually ridden until this past fall. 130mm travel F/B. Perhaps 250 miles at most on this bike. Original wheels/tires have maybe 50 miles on them before I mounted my custom 650 wheel/tire combo to preserve the originals. OEM stem, grips, and bars have never been used and will be on the bike when sold. Very nice White Bros. Loop tapered fork with externally adjustable compression, threshold, and rebound dampening (converts internally to 140 or 150mm also) and a new upgraded Monarch RT3 shock (Sram replaced the original RT shock under warranty when it leaked oil everywhere), XO everything all around and a Joplin 4 dropper post. American Classic rims/hubs (12x 135 rear and 15mm front) with WTB Wolverine 2.2" tires. Clear protective film was applied in many spots including the carbon XO crank arms and boots were used on the ends of the carbon arms to protect them from any potential hits. Bike is in mint condition and essentially like new ridden by 55YO slow guy (me) who's not abusive and quite anal about his equipment. $2,750 or a reasonable offer. (MSRP was 5K). Call or PM me with any questions or if you would like more pics.

Harvest Your Parsley
There's nothing like the fresh herbs straight from the garden. Now you can enjoy that freshness all winter long.
Make sure you rinse your herbs thoroughly. You wouldn't want to preserve any critters in with your parsley.
Cut off the long stems
The little stems between the leaves are fine to chop up.
Chop with a mezzaluna
If you have one of these handy chopping devices, chopping fresh herbs is all that much easier.
Or use a knife
...but obviously a knife will work just as well.
Spoon into an ice cube tray
Once everything is chopped up, spoon the herbs into an ice cube tray, making sure to distribute evenly. Pack them in pretty tightly.
Top off the tray with water
Pour the water in slowly. Too much water pressure has the tendency to send your chopped herbs all over the place.
Put the tray in the freezer
24 hours or so should be enough to turn your water and herbs into beautiful little herb cubes.
Put the cubes in a freezer bag
After the cubes are frozen, pop them out of the tray and stash them in a freezer bag—this will keep them tasting their freshest. Drop the cubes into soups or sauces as you need them.

Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
Great rug. I ordered the Rural Earth colorway. It looks great and shows no dirt. Rug has a nice modern look and is so practical. The only reason I rate it a 4 instead of a 5 is that it takes a while for the middle to lay flat.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I purchased this rug to cover a dark hardwood floor in my kitchen. The color was a nice match for my canvas color cabinets. It is very soft and good quality.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I ordered 2 of these in the 2x3 size in the Muslin color and I could not be happier with my purchase. The quality is outstanding!
I actually bought the dark grey rug, it came on time. I have not used it yet because it is for a nursery and the baby has not yet arrived. I really like the fact that it is made in the USA and of natural fiber. I will rate it again when I put it to more use.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is both nice looking and very comfortable. The weave is such that it's thick and soft to walk on in bare feet. The design is simple, but with enough accent to give it a real classic look. We bought a pair of the 5x8s and a 2x8 runner to go along with it. No funny smell when we opened the packaging and no worries about rug chemicals affecting our little one.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Got the 12' long runner. Has a nice casual look in my long hallway. Originally had wrinkles/bubbles when it was first unrolled, but those are now settling flat. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a long, neutral rug in the hallway.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is a beautiful rug, I am thrilled with how it completes my living room! I have a black and cream patterned chair in my living room, & I was finding it very difficult to get an area rug that didn't clash with its design. This rug's simple design (even with the subtle pattern the braid adds) fits perfectly. In addition, it is very soft under your feet (not scratchy at all like wool can sometimes be), beautifully crafted, and the colors are wonderful (I got the Rockport Gray, and the colors shown online are slightly darker than in person, but nothing drastic, a medium gray color with a cream stripe). So far it has held up very well (I have a dog, and his claws & rambunctious behavior have not resulted in any damage/pulls), so it seems very well constructed, with a tight braid. I would definitely recommend getting the carpet pad if you don't already have one, as it would be very slippery on a hardwood/linoleum/pergo floor without the rug pad. The edges took a couple of days to get unrolled, but that was not a detractor for me, just something you have to deal with with new rugs. And the rug didn't smell at all (I recently got another area rug that smelled horribly of chemicals for a week). I am EXTREMELY happy with this purchase, and highly recommend it. Oh, and it's made in the USA! I would say the only (minor) negative is that it did take awhile between placing my order and when the rug was shipped, but the wait was worth it to me.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful rug better than as pictured. My decorator once told me to buy rugs as close to the color of dirt as you can stand. This rug is close but also beautiful.

I have been using for 3 months daily and have seen a real difference in my melasma which has faded. I had been using prescription hydrocortisone but you cannot use long term and was concerned with side affects. I love that a little goes a long way. You get 1.2 times MORE product than other leading comparable serums. I have been using with lemon cleansing milk. My skin has a glow and is very moisturizered! Do try!!!

Chicken, Pepper and Corn Stir-Fry
An easy tip to follow when cooking and eating healthy is "Eat the rainbow," and this colorful stir-fry is a great way to start. We use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts because a little goes a long way.
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 large), cut into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
5 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
2-inch piece ginger, sliced paper thin
5 scallions, whites cut into 1/2-inch pieces and greens sliced, separated
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 cup frozen corn kernels
Cooked brown rice, for serving
Toss the chicken with the egg white, 1 tablespoon each rice wine and cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Mix together 1/3 cup water, the remaining 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside.
Place the sauce, vegetables and chicken near the stove. Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a large wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil is hot, scoop the chicken from the bowl with a slotted spoon, letting any excess coating remain in the bowl, and add to the oil. Stir-fry, breaking the chicken up just enough so it doesn't clump, until the outside coating is set and lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. Wipe the wok out if needed.
Return the wok to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Just as the oil begins to smoke, add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the scallion whites and peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and stir-fry until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and the sauce (stir the sauce before adding); stir until the sauce is thick and the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the scallion greens. Serve with the brown rice.
Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole
There are so many reasons to love this recipe: It's budget friendly, quick, healthy and gluten free!
1 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Kosher salt
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Cooking spray
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas
4 scallions, sliced
1 cup salsa verde
1 large ripe tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
One thawed 9-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, squeezed dry
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the squash on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Bake until just soft, about 10 minutes, flipping the squash once about halfway through. Combine the mozzarella, Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange 4 of the tortillas in the bottom of the dish so they overlap and top with the squash and half the scallions. Drizzle 1/3 cup of the salsa verde over the vegetables and top with 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Add another 4 overlapping tortillas, top with the sliced tomatoes and spinach, drizzle 1/3 cup of the remaining salsa verde over the vegetables and top with half of the remaining cheese mixture. Finish building the casserole with the remaining 4 tortillas, salsa verde and cheese mixture. Bake, uncovered, until the casserole is golden brown and hot, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with the remaining scallions.
Snyder's of Hanover launches new varieties
Snyder's of Hanover, number one pretzel company in the United States and global leader in pretzel sales has just launched sweet and salty flavored pretzel pieces, expanding their existing line of Flavored Pretzel Pieces even more.
Fans of pretzels now have the additional option of getting sweet and salty flavored varieties that come in 10 oz bags with a retail price of roughly $3.69.
The new varieties are Sweet and Salty Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Pieces and Sweet and Salty Salted Caramel Pretzel Pieces. The former is pretty much a classic combination of cinnamon and sugar that is "sprinkled on lightly salted and crunchy, bite-size sourdough Pretzel Pieces." And the latter has buttery caramel "accented with flecks of salt on bite-size, golden sourdough Pretzel Pieces".
You can find more information about the new varieties as well as all the other varieties Snyder's of Hanover has to offer at www.snydersofhanover.com.
"Sweet and salty remains a popular consumer snack request, so adding the flavor combination to our Pretzel Pieces line was a natural extension. There are so many wonderful ways to enjoy them. Get creative by pairing them with your favorite desserts, like ice cream, or eat them right out of the bag." said Bob Gould from Snyder's of Hanover.

Lemon and Herb Roast Chicken and Vegetables
href="http://www.2tastyfood.com/2014/01/21/lemon-and-herb-roast-chicken-and-vegetables/" title="Lemon and Herb Roast Chicken and Vegetables">Enjoy a healthy version of Sunday roast chicken dinner in only 40 minutes. And save big by carving up three roasted chicken breasts for four people (it's plenty). If you buy a four-pack, roast the fourth breast and set aside to add to a green salad or soup later in the week.
1 pound small red-skinned potatoes, quartered
2 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 lemon, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Adjust the oven rack to the top position and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss together the potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Roast until the vegetables brown slightly and the potatoes just begin to soften, about 20 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Meanwhile, rub the chicken breast skin with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and sprinkle with the poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Once the vegetables begin to soften, put the chicken breasts on top and roast until the skin is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove the chicken breasts and let them rest for a few minutes. Toss the roasted vegetables with juice from 1 of the lemon halves and the parsley. Cut the bones from the chicken breasts and slice the meat. Divide the chicken and roasted vegetables among 4 plates. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and serve alongside.
Healthy Eating
Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it's about feeling great, having more energy, stabilizing your mood, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible—all of which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you. You can expand your range of healthy food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create and maintain a tasty, healthy diet
Healthy eating tip: Set yourself up for success
To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think.
Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. This way it should be easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious.
Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet healthy overnight isn't realistic or smart. Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil when cooking. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices to your diet.
Every change you make to improve your diet matters. You don't have to be perfect and you don't have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet. The long term goal is to feel good, have more energy, and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don't let your missteps derail you—every healthy food choice you make counts.
Think of water and exercise as food groups in your diet.
Water. Water helps flush our systems of waste products and toxins, yet many people go through life dehydrated—causing tiredness, low energy, and headaches. It's common to mistake thirst for hunger, so staying well hydrated will also help you make healthier food choices.
Exercise. Find something active that you like to do and add it to your day, just like you would add healthy greens, blueberries, or salmon. The benefits of lifelong exercise are abundant and regular exercise may even motivate you to make healthy food choices a habit.
Healthy eating tip: Moderation is key
People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation for any healthy diet is moderation. But what is moderation? How much is a moderate amount? That really depends on you and your overall eating habits. The goal of healthy eating is to develop a diet that you can maintain for life, not just a few weeks or months, or until you've hit your ideal weight. So try to think of moderation in terms of balance. Despite what certain fad diets would have you believe, we all need a balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body.
For most of us, moderation or balance means eating less than we do now. More specifically, it means eating far less of the unhealthy stuff (refined sugar, saturated fat, for example) and more of the healthy (such as fresh fruit and vegetables). But it doesn't mean eliminating the foods you love. Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for example, could be considered moderation if you follow it with a healthy lunch and dinner—but not if you follow it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza. If you eat 100 calories of chocolate one afternoon, balance it out by deducting 100 calories from your evening meal. If you're still hungry, fill up with an extra serving of fresh vegetables.
Try not to think of certain foods as "off-limits." When you ban certain foods or food groups, it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. If you are drawn towards sweet, salty, or unhealthy foods, start by reducing portion sizes and not eating them as often. Later you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently, particularly in restaurants. When dining out, choose a starter instead of an entree, split a dish with a friend, and don't order supersized anything. At home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in realistic terms, and start small. If you don't feel satisfied at the end of a meal, try adding more leafy green vegetables or rounding off the meal with fresh fruit. Visual cues can help with portion sizes–your serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the size of a deck of cards, a slice of bread should be the size of a CD case, and half a cup of mashed potato, rice, or pasta is about the size of a traditional light bulb.
Enjoy supermarket-themed cooking competition from October 20th
The new super-market themed cooking show will be premiering on Food Network October 20th, 2013. Guy's Grocery Games will put four talented chefs to test through a number of "real world" culinary challenges.
Each episode includes three rounds with complex challenges that feature meals made from only canned foods, meals made with 5 ingredients or even less, meals made from only frozen foods and so on. In the end of each episode one losing chef is eliminated by the judges. The judges for the show include names like Melissa d'Arabian, Richard Blais, Beau MacMillan, Jet Tila, and Marcela Valladolid.
The winning chef will get the chance to go home with up to $20 000 based on his or her performance in the show finale where the chef will be sent on a two-minute shopping spree.
"Having the chefs compete in a real grocery store, with every day products and real world obstacles will make this one of the most challenging and relatable cooking competitions we've ever devised," said Bob Tuschman from Food Network.
If you're a fan of great cooking, awesome challenges and wouldn't mind learning to cook yourself on the way, don't forget to tune in to Food Network for Guy's Grocery Games hosted by Guy Fieri on October 20th at 8p ET/PT.

Recipe: Vegetable and garlic calzone
Dietitian's tip:
Instead of high-fat meats, this calzone is stuffed with fresh vegetables, which significantly reduces the amount of fat and calories. Serve with a salad and fruit.
Serves 2
- 3 asparagus stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound frozen whole-wheat bread dough loaf, thawed
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2/3 cup pizza sauce
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, add the asparagus, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms and garlic. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to mix well.
Heat a large, nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
On a floured surface, cut the bread dough in half. Press each half into a circle. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into an oval. On half of the oval, add 1/2 of the sauteed vegetables, 1/2 of the tomato slices and 1/4 cup cheese. Wet your finger and rub the edge of the dough that has the filling on it. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together. Roll the edges and then press them down with a fork. Place the calzone on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to make the other calzone.
Brush the calzones with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Heat the pizza sauce in the microwave or on the stove top. Place each calzone on a plate. Serve with 1/3 cup pizza sauce on the side or pour the sauce over the calzones.

It's really not fair to call the all-new generation Leatherwood M-1000 a riflescope. More appropriately, it is an extremely advanced sighting system; the basics of which have now been in constant military use for more than 40 years. Using this system has never been easier, or more user friendly!
All the shooter has to do is place the reticle on the target, zoom in to FRAME an area of known size (i.e. the 18" height of a buck's chest cavity), AIM, and squeeze the trigger to SHOOT. It all takes less than 5 seconds, and the shooter's eye never leaves the scope! When the shooter frames an 18" or 1 meter target using the brackets on the reticle, the scope will automatically range the target and compensate for bullet trajectory for distances of 250 to 1,000 meters. This means no holdover or guesswork.
The cam of this new generation 2.5-10x44mm ART (Auto Ranging Trajectory) system, which was invented and designed by Jim Leatherwood for military snipers in Vietnam during the 1960s, has been redesigned for today's sportsperson. By using (1) trajectory cam that is incrementally adjustable, the M-1000 can be calibrated for just about any center fire rifle cartridge - from .223 to .50 BMG. Also, the new design permits the cam?calibration ring?and range ring to be used or set independently and more precisely. Easy access locking screws make changes quick and easy.
• Multi-Dial rings that permit this scope to be pre-programmed for up to 4 different zeros or multiple guns.
• The cam roller that permits easier operation of the ART system. (Interchangeable size rollers for more precise calibration of scope)
• The mount with built in windage adjustment.
• Quick focus eyepiece that allows easy multi-shooter use.
• A No-Math Mil Dot reticle for easier ranging. You can turn this reticle to a true Mil Dot Reticle at 10X.
• Power & Obj. Lens: 2.5-10x44mm
• FOV @ 100yds: 47.2 - 11.9
• Exit Pupil (mm): 10.2 - 4
• Eye Relief (in): 3
• Length (in): 13.2
• Weight (oz): 25.2

CAASE helps citizens take action against forced prostitution.
Until I began working with the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation (CAASE), I was unaware of the reality of the sex trade in Chicago. My perception of prostitution was typical, I think. Our culture perpetuates the myth that women are in prostitution by choice and could leave to do something else with their lives at any time. This idea completely alleviates the men who buy sex from any responsibility for their part in fueling the sex trade. The truth is that prostitution could not exist without purchasers, or the men who create the demand for paid sex. Without demand, there would be no prostitution.
While working with CAASE and their End Demand Illinois (EDI) campaign, I've been confronted with a more realistic view of the sex trade. Women are often in prostitution because they have no other viable options. In one study, 79 percent of women in prostitution gave an indication that they were in the sex trade due to some degree of force, fraud, or coercion. Pimps intentionally seek out society's most vulnerable girls and women including those who have been sexually, physically or emotionally abused, those in poverty or runaways.
Violence against women in the sex trade is also appallingly pervasive, and yet our society has yet to stand up against the people who fuel the sex trade and commit this violence: pimps, johns, and traffickers. This violence occurs on the street, in brothels, in drug houses, in escort services, and in exotic dancing venues. According to a study from local researcher Jody Raphael, most women in prostitution are subjected to high levels of violence, whether they were on the streets or 'indoors.' In fact, half of the women in escort services reported being raped. There is no safe place to be a prostituted woman. The cinematic image of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman standing on a street corner, romantically whisked away by Mr. Right is a complete contradiction to what these exploited women face every day.
The End Demand Illinois campaign raises awareness about the role that purchasers (often referred to as 'johns'), pimps and traffickers play in perpetuation violence against women in the sex trade. The people who create the demand for the sex trade are making human beings into commodities. They are buying and selling someone's sister, daughter or friend.
Johns are the most frequently identified perpetrators of violence against women in prostitution, yet they rarely, if ever, face arrest or prosecution. Women in prostitution have historically been the only targets of law enforcement 'stings.' Another goal of End Demand Illinois is to shift law enforcement's attention to sex traffickers and the people who buy sex, while also proposing a network of services for survivors of prostitution.
In recent years, there have been some notable steps forward. EDI partnered with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office to pass the Illinois Safe Children Act, which ends the practice of prosecuting minors in Illinois for prostitution. This bill also raised the level of legal penalties for pimps, johns and traffickers, an imperative part of curbing demand. We are beginning to see signs that law enforcement is focusing on demand. Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez and Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart have stepped up as important leaders in this effort, building cases against local traffickers and pimps. State's Attorney Alvarez was the first to use Illinois' trafficking law, though it had been in existence since 2006.
There is much more work to be done. Initially, learning about this reality can be quite daunting and overwhelming. You can't help but think, what can I possibly do to help this enormous problem? But it is important to remember that we are not powerless. We have the ability to fight the demand. Simply raising awareness is an important step toward eradicating the exploitation of women in the sex trade. Challenge your own preconceived notions about prostitution. Talk to your friends, your family, your congregation, your school.
Need a place to start? In an effort to empower the public to fight demand, CAASE has created toolkits to empower communities to take action. Each toolkit is a free, extensive guide for parents, college students, faith-based organizations, businesses, teachers, and other groups. CAASE is dedicated to building communities free from sexual exploitation, and you are a crucial part of that effort. You have a voice and you have the power to help end sexual exploitation.

Reviews (2)
Have this and the Bristle Bone. Both are heavy duty however this one is my older dogs favorite since it is easier to reach the gnawhides.
"Love these"
When one of our dogs was laid up after an injury, these helped keep her from being so bored. She loves the taste of the rings and it does take her awhile to chew them off. She's a 95 lb dog and can take down a rawhide bone like it's nothing, so this is fewer calories and a longer chewing time. We have the medium size and that seems to work fine. It's easier to find refills for than the other sizes too (I've even found them at wal-greens). Highly recommend.

WALKER COUNTY AMERICAN HEART WALK Huntsville Memorial Hospital was the presenting sponsor of the 2014 Walker County American Heart Walk held on September 27, 2014. The event featured fitness demonstrations, representatives from local law enforcement agencies, activities for children offered by the Huntsville Family YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club, and over 400 participants walking for this important cause. The walk began with survivors who were wearing red baseball hats. The American Heart Association is the largest voluntary health organization working to prevent, treat and defeat heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. These diseases, the Nation's Number 1 and Number 4 killers, claim more than 813,804 American lives a year. Sam Houston State University's Sammy Bearkat even joined the 2014 American Heart Walk. In 2014, our community contributed to the cause by raising $25,182 at the annual Heart Walk. However, our commitment to this cause is about more than fundraising, it is also about encouraging each of us to embrace an overall healthier lifestyle. The American Heart Association has set a ten-year goal to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent by the year 2020. We are closer to achieving that goal thanks to the walkers, donors and volunteers who accepted the challenge to help fight heart disease and stroke at the 2014 Walker County American Heart Walk. We cannot achieve our mission without each one of you! Many thanks to Huntsville Memorial Hospital staff for the great turnout at the Walker County Heart Walk on Sept. 27. Huntsville Memorial Hospital was the second largest team at the event, and raised over $2000 for the American Heart Association�s fight against heart disease and stroke. 2014 Chairmen of Walker County Heart Walk: Walker County Judge Danny Pierce, City of Huntsville Mayor Mac Woodward, TDCJ Executive Director Brad Livingston, SHSU President Dr. Dana Hoyt

IT Solutions for Transforming Government
Transform Federal IT with Virtualization
Since 1998, VMware has worked with U.S. Federal and Department of Defense organizations to become the leading provider of virtualization and cloud infrastructure to the federal government, serving all U.S. cabinet agencies, military services and commands, plus the legislative and judicial branches. VMware meets the needs of a modern government while reducing costs and increasing resource utilization.
- FDCCI and consolidation – Meet the requirements of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDDCI) with virtualization.
- Cloud computing – Build an efficient, agile, elastic pool of on-demand resources.
- Desktop and application virtualization – Deliver and manage desktops as a service. Offer remote access without compromising security.
- Real-time situational awareness – Break past the limits of traditional databases for scalable, real-time awareness.
Are You Ready to Consolidate 40 Percent by 2015?
That's the requirement of the FDCCI. More federal IT infrastructure is consolidated on VMware than any other platform. VMware virtualization has enabled our federal customers to achieve physical to virtual server consolidation ratios from 2:1 to 12:1 and much higher, reduce associated costs and make their data center infrastructure cloud-ready.
- Respond to changing events and programs faster and more efficiently than ever before.
- Delivers resources, applications—even servers—when and where they're needed.
- Save 50 to 70 percent on overall IT costs by consolidating resource pools and delivering highly available machines with vSphere® with Operations Management™.
Start the Journey to Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is changing the way federal agencies deliver and consume IT services. Put server, storage, compute and networking resources on a virtualized platform and create an efficient, agile, elastic pool of on-demand resources that make up a cloud. When ready, VMware's platform enables agencies to extend those resources to realize the best of all that cloud computing has to offer, whether private, hybrid or public.
Power Federal Employee Productivity
Deliver and manage desktops as a cloud-based service with Horizon (with View), empowering teleworkers and field-based, office-based, and remote or contractor personnel to be productive from a variety of devices, including government-furnished PCs or laptops, personal computers, thin clients and tablet computers. Telework and COOP planning are just two examples of how VMware end-user computing solutions can be used to:
- Provide personnel with immediate and flexible access to applications and data anytime, anywhere.
- Reduce the cost and complexity of desktop management.
- Give IT organizations the control they need to ensure agency security and compliance.
Get Mission-Critical Operations
While the same fundamentals of IT security apply in virtual and physical environments, virtualization offers some key additional benefits for securing IT infrastructure, such as reducing the attack profile, easier isolation of contaminated infrastructure, and enhanced stability and availability. VMware has made strategic investments to earn Common Criteria/EAL 4+ Certification, as well as drafted several DISA STIGs and earned FIPS validation for various solutions.

The renewed commitment by lawmakers in 2011 to finally change the state's economic trajectory is being threatened! While Governor Cuomo started 2012 off still highlighting the need to create jobs and help businesses, Speaker Silver is not.
Raising the minimum wage in New York is well intended, but has enormous adverse consequences for businesses and consumers.
Consider that for all the positives in 2011, the needle was only moved slightly and clearly there is more substantial work to be done. Taking thirty seconds to look at New York's tax climate and cost of doing business rankings prove this point.
So with the economy languishing and costs rising, why would Speaker Silver want to mandate an increase in wages? He says to help those families struggling to make ends meet and to create jobs. No one would oppose that, but the facts show that the Speaker is wrong.
A recent study by Cornell and American universities estimates that a minimum-wage increase from $7.15 to $8.25 an hour, less than the proposed 17 percent hike in New York, would cost almost 29,000 jobs! It will also increase the price of goods and services that small businesses provide, and with consumers having less money in their pocket and sales already treading water, this has the potential to have disastrous results.
For those struggling families, consider the Earned Income Tax Credit. Currently, EITC is providing more than $4.5 billion in benefits to help ensure no one is supporting a family at or below poverty levels – without decreasing employment opportunities or diminishing purchasing power.
There are better alternatives to create both opportunities for unemployed New Yorkers and a more viable and vibrant economic climate in New York. Speaker Silver and the rest of his colleagues in the legislature need to stay the course. Cutting taxes, reducing red-tape and creating more job opportunities will do far more to help New York's small businesses and working poor.

Comment () | Share: | Source: USA TODAY Sports - Tom Pelissero Lions | Matthew Stafford had a lot on his plate Fri, 09 Jan 2015 09:49:42 -0800 Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford handled himself well despite all of the things offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi threw at him in their first season together. "Looking back, I kind of try to drop maybe some responsibilities on him that maybe a quarterback like Drew (Brees) didn't get until four years into the system in New Orleans," Lombardi said. "We asked a lot of him and he responded. There is a tax when you ask a quarterback maybe to do that much and the more comfortable he gets the lower that tax will be." Injuries and an inconsistent offensive line led Lombardi to give Stafford more responsibilities than he initially intended. Stafford's 12 interceptions was a career low, and he finished the season with a 60.3 completion percentage, which was the second highest mark in his career. His 4,257 yards were the fifth most in team history. Fantasy Tip: Stafford had his ups and downs this year, but he excelled late in the season against mediocre defenses. He should be just as good, if not better, in his second season working with Lombardi in 2015.

Suh could count more than $35.7 million against the salary cap for 2015 if he receives one of the tags.

Space applications encompass many different space based technologies, tools and techniques. These can range from the use of Earth Observation (EO) satellites for obtaining satellite imagery, Geospatial Information (GI) or integrated location based data along with socio-economic data, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as positioning systems, Remote Sensing (RS) and imagery analysis, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for aerial photography etc. This paper will discuss ways to improve disaster management through the use of space applications.
Since the 1970s in particular, the countries of Western Asia and those of the Asia-Pacific region have been closely linked to each other through highly extensive movements of people. Opportunities created by the rapid development of the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), but also other countries in the ESCWA region, have attracted a large number labour migrants from the Asia-Pacific region.
The principal aim of this publication is to analyze the current status of paperless trade implementation in the region and assess a practical approach to the facilitation of cross-border paperless trade in the Asia-Pacific region, as this will contribute to regional connectivity. With world-leading paperless trade systems already in place in several countries of Asia and the Pacific, including a few cases of successful cross-border paperless trade data exchange, the region is fast moving towards a paperless trade environment.
This paper examines how freedom of transit and transit facilitation are addressed in trade and transport (as well as transit-specific) agreements in the ESCAP region. The objective is to identify good practices and understand the extent to which existing agreements meet the transit facilitation provisions set out in the draft text of the WTO trade facilitation agreement (TFA).
Energy poverty- lack of access to electricity and reliance on traditional fuels for cooking and heating - remains an enduring problem. Globally, more than a billion people live without electricity and, nearly three billion depend entirely on wood, charcoal and dung for other domestic energy needs. Their search for energy fuels and services is an arduous, daily grind. Lack of access to modern energy has a broad impact.
Several countries in Asia and the Pacific have launched high-level policy initiatives and action plans to promote green growth, and the green economy. As a consequence the demand for indicators of economic growth that supports, rather than detracts from, sustainable development, is growing. Green growth indicator frameworks developed by international organisations and partnerships of organisations share a focus on a few key dimensions.
Conventional growth strategies have reduced poverty. People now have more access to basic services and more opportunities for mobility and participation. But there are still persistent unmet needs, widening inequalities, and new development challenges such as climate change, intensifying natural disaster and resource depletion. There is a search for growth strategies that better fit a changing economic, social and environmental reality.
In the national economies of Asia and the Pacific, entrepreneurs are critical drivers of growth through innovation and job creation. Recognizing the potential of, and the challenges for, women's entrepreneurship across the Asia-Pacific region, the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women launched a joint programme to promote enabling policy and legal environments for women's entrepreneurship in four countries in Asia and the Pacific: Indonesia, China, India and Malaysia.
The product of a technical cooperation project implemented by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), in collaboration with the Governments of Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia and the Philippines, this publication addresses the economic aspect of gender mainstreaming, with a particular focus on gender budgeting and women's economic participation.
