Kids at play
Craig at Work
Saturday, November 17, 2007
Craig After opening Thursday and Friday, the final shows of Moffat County High School's presentation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" are at 2 and 7 p.m. today.
The play is a classic musical and presents many challenging numbers for students to test their vocal limitations to a crowd expecting something on par with last year's "Beauty and the Beast" production.
For many of the students, it was their last year with the high school drama department. And, as with most high school drama programs, new students get to stand in the spotlight.
"We are constantly changing," said Amy Pottinger, drama teacher for Moffat County High School, "and hopefully continuing the quality that we have established and the seniors have worked so hard to maintain."

The Southern United States—commonly referred to as the American South, Dixie, or simply the South—is an area comprising the southeastern and south-central United States. The region is known for its culture and history, having developed its own customs, musical styles and varied cuisines that have helped distinguish it in some ways from the rest of the United States. The Southern ethnic heritage is diverse and includes strong European (mostly English, Scotch-Irish and Scottish), African, and some Native American components. Several Southern states (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia) were English Colonies that sent delegates to sign the Declaration of Independence and then fought against the English along with the Northern Colonists during the Revolutionary War. The basis for much Southern culture derives from the pride in these states being among the 13 original colonies (and much of the population of the South had fore-fathers who emigrated west from these colonies). Manners and customs reflect the early population of the South's relationship with England as well as that of Africa and to some extent the native populations.
Some other aspects of the historical and cultural development of the South have been influenced by an early support for the doctrine of states' rights, the institution of slave labor on plantations in the Lower South; the presence of a large proportion of African Americans in the population; and the legacy of the Civil War and Reconstruction Era, as seen in thousands of lynchings (mostly from 1880 to 1930), the segregated system of separate schools and public facilities known as "Jim Crow", that lasted until the 1960s, and the widespread use of poll taxes and other methods to frequently deny blacks of the right to vote or hold office until the 1960s. In more modern times, however, the South has become the most integrated region of the country and race-relations on par with those elsewhere. Since the late 1960s blacks have held and currently hold many high offices, such as mayor and police chief, in many cities such as Atlanta and New Orleans.
A social issue (also called a social problem or a social situation) is an issue that relates to society's perception of a person's personal lives. Different cultures have different perceptions and what may be "normal" behavior in one society may be a significant social issue in another society. Social issues are distinguished from economic issues. Some issues have both social and economic aspects, such as immigration. There are also issues that don't fall into either category, such as wars.
Thomas Paine, in Rights of Man and Common Sense, addresses man's duty to "allow the same rights to others as we allow ourselves". The failure to do so causes the birth of a social issue.

A few years ago, the editors of Guitar World magazine compiled what we feel is the ultimate guide to the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time. The list, which has been quoted by countless artists, websites and publications around the world, starts with Richie Sambora's work on Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" (Number 100) and builds to a truly epic finish with Jimmy Page's solo on "Stairway to Heaven" (Number 1).
On May 14, 1988, Led Zeppelin — Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham (the Celebration Day lineup) — reunited for Atlantic Records' massive 40th anniversary party at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
"Supergroup" is a word that doesn't sit well with a lot of people. For some, it conjures up bloated egos battling for creative control. For others, it makes them think of flash-in-the-pan projects that never had much of a lasting impact.
In a recent interview with Reddit.com, Jimmy Page's representative — Peter Mensch of Q Prime Management — shared some updates regarding the upcoming Led Zeppelin remasters.
What?! You weren't able to attend last week's interview with Guitar World Editor-in-Chief Brad Tolinski as he appeared live at the Apple Store in SoHo (NYC) to talk about his new book, Light & Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page? Don't fret! Apple has just released this exclusive conversation, which was moderated by journalist Alan Light, as part of its Meet The Author podcast series.
Be part of the audience of a live taping of the Apple "Meet the Author" series featuring Brad Tolinski, editor-in-chief of Guitar World magazine, as he discusses his new book, Light & Shade, Conversations with Jimmy Page. This event will take place 7 p.m. Wednesday, February 13, at the Apple Store in SoHo, 103 Prince St., New York. Space is limited, so get there early!

Save the dates
Patterned Billy Ball Save the Date Cards Very happy with how they turned out! Exactly what I was going for!
Fantastic Save the Dates
Sweetly Charmed Save the Date Cards I recently received my Save the Dates! They turned out fabulous. I had changed to a custom color and it was a little bit different on my computer monitor than the finished product but they still look great! As someone with experience with desktop publishing, I know those things happen :) I was really surprised at how nice the quality of paper was for the price! Plus, they arrived earlier than expected and the presentation was outstanding- I received a beautiful display inside a box full of stationary samples along with my order. Needless to say, as a first time costumer, I was very impressed! I would recommend this product and will def. be recommending MagnetStreet to anyone looking for stationary! I will be getting my wedding invites here :)
Completely custom
Charming Swirls Save the Date Cards I was able to change all the colors and the text to be just what I wanted. I love them!!! We sent some out today.
Easy Personalization
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Cards First of all, the entire site overall is very user friendly. Before personalizing everything I ordered samples to see the true quality of the products. I was shocked to see that not only was I sent the samples but I was also sent color swatches of my exact wedding colors based off of the colors I had put in. I also received a swatch of all the other colors they have available. I actually gave that sheet to my future sister in law because she is planning her wedding too. The quality is of the products is great. I love how everything can be personalized to your exact colors, pictures, and text. You can even order a sample of your card/magnet once you have personalized it. I did this because I am very particular on how things look. This site is much easier to use than some of the other sites I researched. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and I will definitely recommend others!!
So happy with my Save the Dates!
Bold Statement Save the Date Cards I was so happy when I found Magnet Street online as I'd bee restlessly searching for Save the Dates that fit my personality (my fiance's too) and our budget. The turn around time from ordering to the day we received our order was even faster than promised - which is HUGE for the holiday season! The product is even better than I expected it to be. We were even sent a look book to give us a better idea of the paper styles, fonts and colors offered - which makes the whole decision making process so much easier. We will DEFINITELY be purchasing our Invitations, RSVP cards and Programs from Magnet Street. You can't beat a great price, an amazing product and EXCELLENT customer service!

Knee-high grass in residential areas should become a thing of the past with Auckland Transport committing to regularly mow unkept berms.
Contractors will maintain berms on an as-and-when-required basis to keep the grass at an acceptable length in cases where residents are unable or unwilling to mow it themselves.
Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan says unkept berms are likely to be mowed every six to eight weeks. But this does not represent a change in policy, he says.
Orakei councillor Cameron Brewer disagrees, calling it a back-down.
"The mayor adopted a cold turkey approach last year by ceasing berm mowing in the isthmus suburbs from July 1 to supposedly save $3m.
"It's great news that some sanity has now prevailed after a lot of ratepayers' money and staff time has been wasted fighting frustrated residents," Mr Brewer says.
Maungakiekie-Tamaki councillor Denise Krum agrees.
"The service was just cut. At the very least they should have gone to the polls to find out if people still wanted it as part of their rated suite of services."
She thinks every local board should have the opportunity to decide on whether funding from the annual plan should be spent on berm mowing.
In a regional strategy and policy committee meeting on February 4, Mr Brewer's amendment to support "the backdown" was passed unanimously.
At the same meeting councillors Mike Lee and Christine Fletcher's amendment to have the council's berm policy reviewed because of public concerns was lost 12 to 7.
Opinion was also divided on whether planting on berms is acceptable.
Ms Krum voiced opposition to the fact that some councillors have planted gardens on their berms, calling it a "hillbilly approach".
"You've got councillors advocating for planting corn, flax and flowers. If you're going to open up the box for planting greenery of all sorts then why can't people start parking there cars there? If one thing goes, why can't anything go?"
Albert-Eden-Roskill councillor Dr Cathy Casey says this attitude is "ridiculous".
There are two berms in front of her Mt Albert property; one between the boundary and the footpath and a larger one next to the road.
The grass against the wall is very hard to access even with a weed-eater, she says.
She has sown wildflowers in the grass against the wall which should bloom in the latter part of the year.
Until then she intends to regularly mow the berm.
"We are very hopeful that come spring it will be a riot of colour next to the wall," she says.
She has not asked permission from Auckland Transport because she has done nothing wrong, she says.
But private planting in the road corridor is generally not permitted because it can pose a safety risk or may damage public property, Mr Hannan says.
For instance if plants grow too high it can be difficult for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians to see.
The roots of some plants can also cause damage to underground infrastructure such as sewers, power cabling and gas lines, he says.
Guidelines around what people can and can't plant would mitigate these issues, Dr Casey says.
"You should be able to plant low ground flowers maybe even some vegetables. It's a productive thing to do to get people involved in the berms so instead of just berm mowing it's footpath gardening."

Eating, Brussels
40 Reviews
40 Reviews
When visiting Brussels try to be kind with the natives. We are a bit depressive as we don't know if our country will still exist at the end of next year.
So avoid upsetting genuine Brusseleirs like me by writing here repeatedly about "fries" or worse 'French fries".
Even more worse, VT wrote on the Brugge/Bruges local customs page that there are "Flemish Frites" which is laughable because Belgians do not distinguish Flemish fritten from Walloon or Brussels frites!!!
Even our Flemish or Walloon nationalists do not make such a distinction!
The "frites" (in French) "fritten or frieten" (in Flemish) originate from Belgium. All most serious historical, gastronomical studies agree on this.
"French fries" are fake products; they are an infringement of Belgian proprietary rights!
By the way, have you ever heard a Frenchman use the term "French fries" "Frites Françaises"? The French, although well known for their chauvinism, recognize that Belgium is the champion of the frites. In France the nickname for Belgians is … "frites"!
This being said and understood I will explain here how we Belgians prepare our FRITES-FRIETEN.
The potatoes should be of the "Bintje" type. This species exists since a century and was developed in the north of the Netherlands (Friesland).
There are two possibilities for frying: in ox fat ("blanc de boeuf" "ossewit") or in groundnut ("arachide") oil. The (white) ox fat is generally used in the shops and restaurants. The oil is often used at home (can be filtered when cold). It is essential to renew frequently the fat or oil in order to avoid the occurrence of carbonised particles and the chemical degradation of the fat or oil by the heating at high temperature. In Belgium there is a regulation concerning the choice and use of the frying fat. A two phase process at different temperatures is essential. A first cooking at a fat or oil temperature of 150°-160 C for some minutes. This first stage takes the water out of the potato, then immersion at a higher temperature of 180-190°C to get the frites crusty.
Is that enough to have good frites? Absolutely not! Belgian expertise is needed otherwise you have french fries, english chips, american, spanish, italian, greek more or less fried potatoes but no "frites".
Thank you Dabs for writing: "Americans should get out of their comfort zone and go local-try them with mayonnaise, not ketchup".
Ketchup on frites is a crime according to Belgian law!
Mussels with frites are a national dish in Belgium. We call them "moules casserole" as they are cooked in a "casserole" which is a large pan of minimum 3 liters content. This volume is needed to prepare the usual amount of 1 kg mussels per person. This quantity of mussels contains about 250 gr. of flesh.
The crux of the matter is the mussels. They are breed in the waters of Zeeland (South west of the Netherlands) and the flesh is pale. This type is called "Zeeuwse mosselen".
The large scale production and commercialization is centered at Yerseke. Dutch mussel producers supply about 30 million kilos to Belgium during the months from August to end of March. Biggest are the Jumbo quality (price in the shops ± 5 €/kg).
The Belgian preparation of the "Moules Casserole" is with celery, onions, (carrots), parsley, pepper and the (sea) water contained in the mussels.
My wife was not willing to give more details about the preparation. After the "French fries" story she insists on keeping secret our Belgian culinary receipts!
Mussels are, of course, eaten with Belgian frites.
To drink we prefer a somewhat acid white wine (never a Chardonnay type wine) such as the Mosel wines. This wine can also be added on cooking. On my photo I choose a Pinot Blanc less acid than Riesling.
Is it dangerous to eat mussels?
I have never been sick with mussels but I have been with oysters.
The mussels of Zeeland undergo a serious bacteriological control and they are cooked.
Some people eat them raw but dip them in vinaigrette. My grandparents always used to eat the Moules casserole with vinegar, mustard or pickles because it was said that the vinegar would neutralize eventual toxins in the mussels.
When I was a kid, mussels were a popular dish, also the poor could afford them. Nowadays mussels are at the same price level as steak!
Other mussels than Dutch have been tried but … they taste different at least in our imagination.
Another national dish. As we have discussed the question of the frites, let's focus on the meat.
Beef in Belgium is of the Bleu-Blanc Belge (Belgian Blue) species. There is a large, often industrialized production of these strong animals with a white or blue piebald coat. We have 1.1 million of them!
Specific are the strong muscular buttocks similar to those of heavy horses, they are called "cul de poulain". The bleu-blanc belge produces a high proportion of tender meat; from there its success with the Belgian consumer who wants prime choice cuts of extremely tender, low-fat meat.
Personally I prefer beef which is less tender but has more taste than the bleu-blanc Belge.
There is nothing more Belgian then a 'FRITKOT'
It's cheap , greasy , unhealthy and we love it.
You will find them in France and in the
Netherlands. But these are poor decoctions
of what we got here in Belgium.
For starters a real belgian 'fritkot' will have
a large scale of meat-snacks.
Some homemade and a lot from big
companies. Belgians always need a sauce
with the fries and often another extra one for
The fries need to be fresh and baked twice.
We don't like those little stick...we want them
thick. With or without salt. A good 'fritkot' will
When we were shopping on sunday afternoon
we needed some drinks and some rest.
At the square of 'onze-lieve-vrouw-ter-kapelle'
there were lots of people eating fries and
a lot of them were waiting to get some.
The 'fritkots' name is
'friture pitta de la chapelle'.
The fries tasted great , the spot was perfect
to sit...the owners are new belgians.
(I think north african origine).
But I wasn't too impressed by their sauces.
Anyway , you should at least try it ones....
Some call them French fries, some lunatics even called them freedom fries (I hope they choke on it for raping our fries good name like this) but just call them fries :)
or Belgian fries... voila!
no more discussions!
and the real ones comes in a tip bag (see picture).
At leas as important as the choice of the right name is the choice where to eat them!
At Place Jourdan/Jourdan Plein you will find the best frittes if you believe the stories that goes around :)
When Norali and Peter_P organised the 30th November meeting in Brussels, lots of us tried them and agreed... they were suberb!
Maison Antoine ! Don't look any further!
This is something really 'brussels'.
You will find them in other cities as well ,
but they are more present in Brussels.
'karakollen' are snails , cooked in water
and vegetables and well spiced.
You eat them with a plastic fork in a little plastic
bowl...some people also drink the 'soup'.
You can find them on squares when the weather is fine...
This one is in front of the 'Saint Catharina church'...
They are really present at Brussels fair near
the south station , 'gare du midi'.
You like them or your don't.
I eat them once in a while .
Even our former king Boudewijn loved them.
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Waffles!
Forget about the mal-represented 'Belgian Waffles' served for breakfast at your local diner. Waffles have been an important part of the Belgian diet for centuries and are an epicurean encounter which can only be experienced in their natural habitat. Aside from the delicious recipe, the authentic Belgian waffle is unique because of the special waffle irons used to bake them. These waffle irons are only available in Belgium and give Belgian waffles their signature crunchy-golden outside and fluffy inside.
In Belgium there are two types of waffles (or gauffres as we like to call them): the Brussels and the Liege waffle. The Brussels is rectangular in shape with a golden-brown exterior, deep divots and is usually eaten with a knife and fork. Brussels waffles are served with a variety of toppings such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice cream, strawberries and chocolate. The Liege waffle is golden-yellow, more dense in texture and has a burned sugar coating on the outside giving it a lightly sweet flavor. This hand-held waffle is sold by street vendors all over Belgium.
Brussels is not only the capital of Europe but also the capital of gastronomy. The art of good eating is part of an authentic way of life.If a lunch time is less than 3 hours its called "fast food"...A Belgian likes to stroll in certain areas well-known for their gastronomic tables, such as Place Sainte-Catherine known as the fish market. The place where you can feast on the mussels and oysters from Zelande, lobsters from different countries; local fish such as sole and turbot, which the best chiefs turn into sublimely inventive dishes.
The Sablon is another part of the city renowned for its delicious fare. It boasts many antique shops as well as its numerous café's, taverns, wine bars and chic restaurants. The food served is traditional, which is to say truly international.
A stone's throw from the Grand Place (Market Place) is the very popular Ilot Sacré, an area packed with restaurants serving Belgian and international cuisine.
Beer is also a popular beverage with Brusselers. Some cafés offer a very wide choice of bottled and draft Belgian beers.
Freedom fries, chips, or frites – whichever name you prefer to use – they're Belgian! And we take this responsibility very seriously. Made with Belgian Bintje potatoes, cooked twice and served in a paper cone with a side of mayonnaise, these Belgian treats embody potato perfection.
A favorite place to sample fries are at frietkots or fritures, which are outdoor vendors who sell – you guessed it – Belgian fries. There are more than 4000 frietkots throughout Belgium and many carry a selection of over 50 dipping sauces to choose from. One of the most visited frietkots in Brussels is a local favorite, Antoine's, a landmark stand on the Place Jourdan. Whether enjoyed at a three star Michelin restaurant or right off the street, this Belgian specialty is not to be missed.
Like in France, in Belgium croissants are very popular for breakfast. I ate them every day for breakfast...:) Just tasty!
A croissant is a butter-laden flaky French pastry, named for its distinctive crescent shape. Croissants are made of a leavened variant of puff pastry by layering yeast dough with butter and rolling and folding a few times in succession, then rolling.
Making croissants by hand requires skill and patience, but the development of factory-made, frozen, pre-formed but unbaked dough has made them into a fast food which can be freshly baked by unskilled labor. Indeed, the croissanterie was explicitly a French response to American fast food. This innovation, along with the croissant's versatility and distinctive shape, has made it the best-known type of French pastry in much of the world. In many parts of the United States, for example, the croissant (introduced at the fast food chains Arby's in the United States and Tim Hortons in Canada in 1983) has come to rival the long-time favorite doughnuts.
One of the culinary specialities in Belgium is the famous "frites" ("french fries" ... but I prefer to say "belgian fries". After all, they were invented by Belgians ;-) And the best place to buy them is the "Maison Antoine". Try the home-made "tartare" sauce (tell them if you want the sauce separated or on the fries). Or may be you will prefer a "mitraillette" (fries and hamburger in bread) or a hot dog or a sausage ... If you want to sit down, cross the street and go to the typical Belgian pub "Chez Bernard". Frites are allowed if you have a drink.
I found this funny article about belgian fries and Maison Antoine on http://www.businessweek.com/1999/99_22/c3631157.htm. If you want to know how fries were invented, what's the origin of the name "frite", what's the secret of the tasty Belgian fries etc., please have a look ;-)
Maison Antoine, Place Jourdan 1, 1040 Brussels (not far from Schuman and Mérode, not far from European Parliamant)
This is very traditional, The arrival of Saint Nicholas is celebrated in Belgium on the 5'th of December, in this period you can find lots of chocolates in town in Saint Nicholas form, just like in the photo...kids love it but I'm sure you will love it too!!
The real Brussels waffle (called Belgian waffle abroad) is light and crispy, served warm and often dusted with confectioner's sugar or whipped cream. One can have it as desert or as snack, but lots of street vendors sell it too.
Warm Liège waffles are mostlyonly sold by street vendors. They are sweeter and denser and real calorie bombs, but oh so tasty.
Don't let anyone stop you from buying waffles from street vendors. The food is ok.
I think the second most popular pastime in Belgium, after beer drinking, is chocolate. It seems there is a chocolatier on every corner and not only are they delightful to the eye, but also to the palate. You can see a big hen and her eggs, all done in chocolate.
Our friend Guy, surprised us with a gift from Neuhaus and they are truly "sinful" ^O^
Here is their homesite if you would like to order online.
Belgians take their frites very seriously, don't dare call them French fries! Why have they become known as French fries and not Belgian fries? The theory is that American soldiers during WWI tasted them and since French was the language spoken by the Belgians they were dubbed French fries.
So what sets the Belgian frite apart and makes them , in some people's estimation, the best in the world? You start with the type of potato, usually Bintje. And the real key? Double frying!
I don't think we tried them in Brussels but I have in Gent and Brugge and they are delightful. Hopefully I will be updating this soon with a recommendation in Brussels.
Americans should get out of their comfort zone and go local-try them with mayonnaise, not ketchup

Well I hope Funi picks it up. I've been searching for the scrapbook box sets since I watched this on demand. When they cut it off before the end I looked at dealers rooms and online. I need this set funi and Im willing to pay big bucks if I have too! Hell...ADV, VIZ...whatever as long as I get it sub or dub!
Sigh...but since its expired theres no chance of re realease eh? Unless theres a loop hole in this thing. |

Oh, that's too bad; it's kind of been sitting on the backburner of anime to watch.
I am excited about finding out Funi's rereleasing of the GTO box sets though. I'm definitely picking those up when they come out! |

Well, at least there's a ready-made dub, making it look more appealing for other licensors to pick it up someday | |||

It looks like the original Tokyopop sets are the only option and I doubt anyone else is going to bother trying to get the license. It's a shame, I was looking forward to getting the Funi releases, but it looks like I won't be seeing this show. The Tokyopop sets are difficult to find and not financially viable (I believe each set retailed for $80). | |||

The license for episodes 25 through 76 will not expire for a couple years yet. The first 24 episodes were licensed much earlier, so their license expired much earlier. | |||

Does this mean the Saint Tail manga license expired as well? I've been looking everywhere for that, and I know I went looking for it on Tokyopop's website after a con two years ago when they said at their panel that EVERY manga/anime they sold was on there - and guess what? It wasn't. Thank goodness I picked up the Saint Tail anime when I did! Edit - apparently I haven't been looking hard enough. Most of the volumes are on the Amazon re-sellers pages. |

Fie on Fansubs! If we demand it enough, we can get dvd's.
And it's not like it's impossible to just pick up the old Tokyopop release. Anyhoo, I hope Funimation re-releases the episodes that TP *does* have the rights to, and that they can arrange something for the episodes they don't own. |

Didn't Tokyopop almost cancel Saint Tail before it finished over five years ago because it's selling poorly? I'm rather surprised that they bothered to hold onto the license this long without trying to shop it off to someone else. I guess that's the problem with long-term contracts, once you've got it you're stuck with it.

Did they complete the Saint Tail anime series? All 43 episodes? I never even knew they released it here in the US!
BAD MARKETING! I love this series! I've been waiting forever to get a copy of it, and now I hear they license expired? They need to keep producing these series and actually market what they have - how are we supposed to know they got it? Telepathy? Sheesh... That's why I say they don't have the licenses long enough... |

darcerin Posts: 330 |
I picked up most of the series at an anime con a couple of years ago in a two for one type deal. Whether or not you can still find them at Borders or something, I don't know. The manga I have, since last night, found used/new copies on Amazon, and several comic websites. Good luck, in the first five minutes I searched on Ebay, the Saint Tail mangas shot up in price enormously - especially Vol. 3. -_- Good luck in your hunt. |

I would have loved to own Saint Tail on DVD but could never find it. I wish Right Stuf would license it and bring out a sub only box set. That would seriously rock! | |||
Back to top | |||
Peter Ahlstrom Posts: 72 Location: Los Angeles |
Yes, the Saint Tail manga's license has expired as well as the anime's.
The anime was completely released over four years ago, and was marketed at the time. It's not often economical to keep throwing marketing money at old shows. Anyway, the books and DVDs are out there for people who want them if you look hard enough. |

saint Tails remaining episodes were put out sub only in a set called, "enchanted collection. " One of my favorite endings. Note: they droped changing openings and ending, they are on the final disc as special feature, but must not have gotten the rights to opening 2. | |||

5. Failure To Reconsider Clicking That Link
Facebook scams spread quickly on the social network. A recent analysis conducted by security firm BitDefender found Facebook scams stealing account credentials, hijacking accounts and creating false "likes" to Facebook pages that the victim never intended to "like." A malicious script that spread in July enabled an attacker to complete a short but successful clickjacking campaign, tricking users into visiting a YouTube channel, a Facebook page and several website surveys. Other Facebook scams include links to third-party applications that promise too much functionality or posts with links to shocking videos or celebrity pictures.

Buyers and Central Valley Meat Co. Sever Ties
After the controversial closing of Central Valley Meat Co., previous buyers of the meat production company are halting their purchases.
Buyers of Central Valley Meat Co. products, including In-N-Out Burger, McDonald's Corporation, Costco, and the federal government, are ending business with the California slaughterhouse after an undercover investigation conducted by Compassion Over Killing revealed extremely inhumane animal handling. In 2011, the US Department of Agriculture purchased 21 million pounds of beef from the meat-production facility, which was sent to schools, Native American reservations, and community food banks. After the breaking news earlier this week regarding the undercover footage, institutions nationwide, including the American Meat Institute and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association have been voicing discontent, referring to the actions of Central Valley employees as disgraceful and abusive.

NIKE Trainer Deanna Jefferson Dishes on Cold Weather Running Tips
11.30.2013 / Blog Posts Health and Wellness
Turkey's Better Warm. So Are You. NIKE Trainer Deanna Jefferson Dishes on Cold Weather Running Tips!
Thanksgiving and Christmas are the ultimate diet cheat days. With both holidays upon us, it's important to keep moving in order to keep weight gain at bay. Outdoor running is a great way to stay in shape while taking in some fresh air and the natural beauties of Fall and Winter. Here are my 5 tips to cold weather running.
Layer Up - It's better to be safe than sorry when running outdoors. If you get too hot you can always strip down. Dri Fit materials are great for wicking away sweat and keeping you warm and dry. Stay away from cotton directly on your skin because it holds onto moisture, and being cold and wet is not a good mix!
Drink Up - Just because it's not hot outside does not mean that you don't need to drink just as much water. You may not feel as thirsty, or sweat as much, but you still need to hydrate! The air is a lot drier in the colder months, and our bodies don't get as much moisture. Hence the reason your skin may be drier in the winter than in the summer. Water also helps to maintain body temperature and keep you warm. Stay away from ice cold water though.
Cover Your Hands and Head - A lot of your body heat is lost through your hands, head and feet. Your feet will (or should) be covered in socks and running shoes, but often times people leave their hands and head bare. Find a good moisture wicking hat and gloves.
Ease Into Long Runs - If you are a newbie to cold weather running make it a progressive process. Start off with a 20 minute jog and set a goal to increase your time gradually. Don't put all of your focus on how far you are running, rather try setting a time and see how far you have run.
Avoid Ice At All Costs - Ice is a cold weather runner's worse enemy. One slip on a patch of black ice can cause serious injury. On days when when streets and sidewalks can become icy, try running on soft surfaces that don't freeze as easily like grass, gravel, woodland trails or a track.
Happy Running!
It's our turn.

Airborne Ranger was a lot of fun, but most other games I had for C64 had better versions elsewhere.
Anyone know how to reset it to "normal"? It saves its state and always plays on "hard" mode now, after having finished the game on "normal" mode.

ocal unemployment rate down slightly
By Keith Roysdon
MUNCIE — The community's jobless rate is down slightly again.
The unemployment rate for Muncie and Delaware County in December was 6.6 percent, down from 6.7 percent in November and down a bit from 7 percent a year ago.
Delaware County's jobless rate has steadily declined, with a few ups and downs, since it reached12 percent in the depths of the national recession.
In figures released Wednesday by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, 3,656 people were unemployed out of Muncie's workforce of 55,103.
Mayor Dennis Tyler, who has frequently cited decreases in the unemployment rate since he took office in January 2012, said he thinks job creation — particularly at small businesses — is responsible for the better jobs picture.
"More than anything else, I think it's people seeing that Muncie is growing again in a positive way, and people are willing to invest their dollars to create jobs," Tyler said.
Delaware County ranked 17th of Indiana's 92 counties for its unemployment rate. Lake County, with 8.2 percent unemployment, was at the top of the list.
In East Central Indiana, Blackford County had a rate of 6.1 percent, down from 6.4; Henry County had a rate of 6.5 percent, down from 6.6; Jay County had a rate of 5.2, up from 5.1; and Randolph County had a rate of 6.2, up from 6 percent.
The state's unemployment rate actually rose slightly in December, up to 5.8 percent, which workforce officials attributed to a "large influx of jobseekers."
The state says Indiana's labor force has grown by 83,000 people since December 2013. The U.S. rate is 5.6 percent.
Statewide, the sectors with the largest grown in December were professional and business services, where 3,700 jobs were added, and manufacturing, with 1,600 jobs added.
Indiana's 5.8 percent unemployment rate is lower than every surrounding state except Kentucky.
Investing in Real Estate is not for everyone, If you are thinking of investing make sure you have the additional funds to invest. As things don't always go as planned and if you didn't really have that amount to invest it cripples your future ability. Not counting the stress of having unexpected expenses come up that are never at the right time. So make sure if you invest you can go with out returns in the short haul with out loosing your mind, and not having stress over it. Every investment is a risk and reward senerio.
With this in mind if you are ready to invest in homes for the rental market give us a call.
Still, the Mellon lessons had seeped in. ("You never touch the principal. And you try to spend 1% of your income that comes in. There are always surprises. Always emergencies. Always charities. Trust me, you end up spending 20% of your income.") And as he got sober, he began investing: in an online art action house, Paddle8, alongside Alex von Furstenberg and Damien Hirst, and a YouTube channel called StyleHaul, which produces short movies on how to dress well.

The Memorial Art Gallery will end operations of Max at the Gallery Inc. after April 27, converting the restaurant into a daytime rental space.
Max Rochester Inc. will continue to be a catering partner for the museum in its new venture. The restaurant is expected to offer brunch at its other location, Max at Eastman Place Inc. in the future.
Growth of events has more than doubled over the past three years, which prompted closing the restaurant space.
"Our events business has been growing like crazy," said Patti Giordano, director of marketing for the Memorial Art Gallery. "We've been extremely successful with corporate events private events, (and) we've become a real destination for weddings. That business is growing so much that it's much more beneficial for us to close the restaurant and use that as day time corporate rental space."
Max at the Gallery traditionally has been open for lunch from Tuesdays through Fridays and for brunch on the weekends. With the conversion to a private rental space, membership discounts to restaurants in the area are in the works.
"We don't quite have all the pieces together yet," Giordano said. "It is exciting. Non-profits, especially museums need to become businesses now to support the mission work that they do so it has been a real focus for us to grow this business because it helps the gallery run and helps support us."
Owner and restaurateur of Max at the Gallery and Max at Eastman Place, Anthony Gullace did not respond to immediate requests for comment.

Lanvin Resort 2013 Pictures
Lanvin Resort 2013
Pajamas and athletic gear informed Alber Elbaz as he was designing his Resort 2013 collection for Lanvin — but that doesn't mean his offering this season is any less luxurious than it ever has been. Instead of making garments that simply look casual, Elbaz said he wanted to create clothing that was "as easy to wear as a tracksuit." He achieved this by taking technical fabrics — like parachute silk and materials normally reserved to make bras and space blankets — and forming them into floral print jackets, voluminous skirts and coats, and more than one deconstructed dress cinched at the waist with elastic. Elbaz also placed a new emphasis on handbags, which are shown with many looks in the collection. "I heard that bags are very important in fashion," he said.

So thinking about doing some fun outdoor activities. Well they are endless here in the mile high, and it doesn't matter whether it is the winter or the summer. We have an awesome downtown Denver district for you to shop during the day and party at night. It is a blast with light rail stations to bring you where ever you want and endless fun breweries and bars up and down the strip. You will never get bored down there just be prepared for a long night because the party doesn't stop. If you wanna go into the mountains and snowboard or ski we have that also with great restaurants and bars up there. These mountain towns are set for your own Colorado vacation with Glenwood springs close by for the relaxing weekend in the hot springs and spa. I am telling you we have so many things to do in Colorado it is unreal. So why aren't you here yet come on.
For those that live here I don't have to tell you how awesome this state is because the only other state that has fans is Texas and they don't know what a real state is like lol. It is Colorado adventure time and I know we all have our ways of having fun, but maybe this year try something new like skydiving or dog sledding? Yes, I said dog sledding we have it here in those Rocky Mountains, so take a Colorado Mountain adventure and go dog sledding in Breckenridge. I just found out about this and now it is on my list to do, because come on how fun would that be to dog sled around the mountains. So I think it is time for us Coloradans to take our own vacation in Colorado and just enjoy ourselves.

Ernie Banks was already a mega-star when I started watching baseball as a kid in the mid-1960s.
The Cubs, or any other team for that matter, weren't on TV 150 times a year, so you watched when you could. You learned to read the box scores, pay attention to "The Game of the Week" and collect baseball cards.
Lots of baseball cards.

The Anderson County Fiscal Court ignored the specter of its $400,000 budget deficit when it met last Tuesday afternoon, choosing to focus instead of other projects, most of which are not in its current operating budget.
The fiscal court also received an update on negotiations with the Administrative Office of the Courts over vacant space in the courthouse. (See related story.)
VERSAILLES — First responders from Anderson County assisted in rescuing a horse that became trapped in an in-ground pool last Thursday in Woodford County.
"The horse stepped on a pool cover, not realizing there was a pool under it," said Bart Powell, Anderson County's director of emergency management and a member of the Anderson County Specialized Rescue Squad.
About all that last Wednesday night's girls' basketball showdown showed was that Anderson County is not quite ready to cede its spot at the top of the 30th District.
Not by a long shot.
The Lady Bearcats, who have dominated the district since 2009, used some timely three-point shooting and clever ball handling to defeat this year's district favorite, Shelby County, 36-33.
All it took was one look.
Deadlocked in a 68-68 duel with Anderson County and less than 30 seconds to play, North Oldham's Tyler Heckenburg glanced to his right. A simple backdoor play was there for the taking.
Heckenburg found Jonathan Henry behind the Anderson defense for a layup. Fouled on the play, Henry converted the three-point play that powered the North Oldham to a 73-71 win over the host Bearcats in an Eighth Region showdown last Tuesday.
Anderson County dominated the fourth quarter on its way to a 67-48 win over visiting Western Hills on Friday night.
Austin Cummins led the Bearcats with 32 points, controlling the action in the fourth frame when Anderson outscored Western Hills 24-8.
"In the fourth quarter, we played great," Anderson assistant coach Bryan Hyatt said by e-mail. "Austin took over the game, but he had some help. (Dillon) Harper and (Gunnar) Gillis finally got to play. Both of them were in foul trouble the entire night."
Anderson County High School guard Austin Cummins is near the top of Kentucky in several statistical categories released last week by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association.
Cummins ranks 19th in the state in scoring with a 22.9 points per game average through 15 games. Mason Faulkner, of Caverna, is the state's top point-getter at 29.2 ppg.
Cummins is third in the Eighth Region behind Owen County's Carson Williams (24.9) and North Oldham's Jonathan Henry (23.2).

Cute, cute, but not for me. I don't show the belly. |
My next stop was GAP. I do buy my tees there because they're soft and nice and last a good while. But my question at GAP was not "Am I too old?" but, "Am I too interesting to wear this?" Nothing fired up my creativity among the denim, denim, sweaters, socks, and denim. I did buy Sandy a "dressy" sweatshirt for Florida winter.
GAP is always wearable and mixable, but not necessarily inspiring to me. |
I don't believe in any fashion or style dictates for others, but I follow a couple of my own, for my own happiness - e.g., nothing too short, tight or low-cut for daytime. I might do some cleavage at night, I'm not dead yet.
Daphne Selfe still works the neckline at age 86. Source. |
As a chubby child, I was given the implicit message "You're too fat for that." Ouch. That memory lingered well into adulthood and contributed to a distorted view of my size. I finally discovered that I am not "fat" (and it's not a bad word), and extra weight wouldn't keep me from wearing what I love, anyway. Bodies are lovely, thin ones and fuller ones.
I don't know who said it, but I endorse it. : > |
My firm non-professional-stylist opinion is: you're not too (whatever) to wear (whatever) if it makes your spirit soar and doesn't get you arrested. As Mr. Wilde said, be yourself; everyone else is taken. Feel your beauty.

TravelPod Member ReviewsMicrotel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Gatlinburg
The room was small but perfect if all you're looking for is a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, and a shower. It was clean and even had a ~ 32" flatscreen TV if you just want to chill and relax. Plus, it's right in the center of Gatlinburg. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to spend most of their trip outside the hotel room.

Although I'm not sure where the summer went, it's now decidedly fall. Everyone's back in school, we're patiently waiting for the leaves to change color, and for the air to get crisp enough to show off our new boots and sweaters.
And although there are still evenings where salads and corn on the cob are appropriate, more and more we begin to turn to soups and roasts and warming baked goods pulled fresh from the oven. Warming baked goods like cookies, which somehow seem like the most appropriate early fall dessert out there.
Maybe it's because I associate a plate of chewy cookies and a glass of milk with sitting around the kitchen table after school, telling my mom about all the new things I learned and the new people I talked to during those first few weeks of school.
Or maybe it's the memory of the joy I always felt at finding two homemade chocolate chip cookies in a ziploc baggie tucked inside my lunchbox. Whatever the reason, I find myself making a lot of cookies during the first few weeks of fall, and eating them with a big smile on my face.
The first batch of cookies I made this season were these chocolate-toffee cookies with caramel. They're a riff on my favorite basic chocolate cookie recipe, which I've adapted from Finale, with a sprinkling of toffee bits and a big dollop of homemade caramel baked into the top.
The cookie itself is an unusual dough, with very little flour, which bakes into a cookie that's flaky like a brownie on top and soft and slightly gooey in the middle. The caramel used here is very thick at room temperature, definitely more of a candy than a sauce, but spreads over the top of the cookie while it bakes – to make your cookies extra pretty, place another little ball of caramel into the center of each one immediately after taking them out of the oven.
The caramel will melt just enough to make a nice neat patch on top of the cookies. And whatever you do, make sure you have at least one of these while they're still warm!
Caramel Sauce
Makes 1 cup.
- 1 cup of sugar
- 3 TBS salted butter
- 1/4 c. heavy cream
- Fill a small glass jar (1/2 a pint) with hot water, and set aside. Add sugar to the bottom of a high-sided frying pan. Heat over medium heat, whisking continually. The sugar will begin to melt, clumping back up as you whisk the melted sugar into the solid sugar. Keep whisking until all of the sugar has melted, and the color is a deep brown. If the color reaches deep brown before all of the clumps have melted, remove from the heat to stop the cooking and keep whisking until the un-melted bits are melted.
- Carefully add the butter to the melted sugar – the butter will cause the caramel to bubble up vigorously. Whisk in the butter, then carefully whisk in the heavy cream (the same bubbling will occur). Cook, still whisking, for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat. Remove the hot water from your glass jar, and pour the hot caramel into it. Let cool to room temperature.

Mary, I have a Harvey mystery and the name and and info I know are close to some members of this family. I sure hope I can make them fit together, because I have looked for years. I can see George W Harvey on several census records but I would say his birth is going to be around 1859 to 1861 but it doesn't seem to be consistent from record to record, but the month is August. In 1900 in Holt, Nebraska is shows his age as 38, born Aug 186?, and I can't read the year. In 1910 in Blackhawk, Iowa it looks like he was born abt 1859 as his age is 51. Birthplace of IL with parents born in NY. Grace A. was born in IL and her parents were born Pennsylvania and Maryland. She is 43 and they have been married 21 years. She has had 3 children, 3 living. Matilda 16 Jun 1890, Myrtle, Jun 1891 Iowa, John S. Oct 1899 Nebraska. At Matilda's birth her father's age is shown as 30. Matilda's marriage to Ray Lloyd Brown is 18 Oct 1913 in Vinton, Iowa. He was born Raymond, Louisiana, to Henry Monroe Brown and Annette Lasure. Matilda's parents are shown as Geo W Harvey and Grace Sprinkle. Am I on the right family?

Reviews for Slow Cooker Short Ribs
Sort By :
"Pretty good. My family liked it. I have another short rib recipe that I like better, but this was very tasty. I didn't have time to slow cook it so I browned the meat removed to a plate sauteed the onions, then added the garlic the last minute. De-glazed the dutch oven with red wine, added the beef back to the pot,along with the beef broth and carrots , tomato paste and thyme sprigs. Covered and baked on 300 degrees for 3 hours. Was fork tender. Has a rich gravy. 4 medium carrots is not nearly enough I tripled them. Thanks for sharing."
"I invited a close friend over for dinner and prepared this recipe. I found 6 lovely boneless ribs, knowing the recipe called for "bone-in", I didn't have time to shop around. The ribs were wonderful, literally you could cut them with a fork. Next time I will add more carrots and cut them larger. Everyone decided this was "a keeper" recipe, they raved about the flavors. We had three for dinner that night and there were plenty of leftovers.
I used 2 full cups of Cabernet and 1/2 cup broth, the boneless ribs had very little fat.""I do a lot of cooking & baking, Taste of Home never lets me down. I have never made short ribs before & this cut of meat isn't cheap where I live, so I was hoping for a good result. Made during a raging snowstorm, threw it in the crock & went out to shovel. It was so beefy, flavorful & delicious, will be making this again. Good enough for company, meat was falling off the bone tender at the 6 hour mark. This recipe is so easy to follow with the little bit of prep work browning the meat & onions. I used a Merlot I had on hand, only using one cup & the rest beef broth. One of my onions went bad, so I substituted a large shallot. I added a second bay leaf, extra garlic and a few big shakes of dried thyme instead of the fresh. Three hungry, tired, snow shovelers ate most of it, there is one serving left over, so I would say it serves 4 instead of 6. I am going to use some of the delicious leftover gravy to saute portobello mushrooms for dinner tonite. Bonus!"
"This recipe is delicious! We made it last night and I used 2 cups of wine instead of the broth which makes a rich flavor. I am not sure why other people didn't like it, maybe they forgot to season the meat. This is definitely a keeper."
"We loved this version and will make again with a tad more garlic. Gotta love the people who are shocked at the fat on the short ribs. Guess they thought they were getting sirloin or flank steak?"
