Himalayan Pink Salt Caramels
Mr. Purdy's original caramel recipe from 1907 forms the base of this delectable treat. The caramels are then enrobed in creamy milk chocolate or decadent dark chocolate, and sprinkled with Himalayan Pink Salt. Himalayan Pink Salt is said to be one of the purest salts in the world. It was deposited in the Himalayan Mountains during the Jurassic era. It is hand-mined and stone-ground to maintain its purity. Introduced in 2009, these sweet and salty delights have quickly become one of our best-loved products. Each box contains 18 pieces.

Himalayan Pink Salt
On November the 6th, I receive in the mail a box of the Himalayan Pink Salt. The card said that I was nominated for KISS FM`s Pink, in support of breast cancer awareness month by Erin Brookes-just because that I meant so much to her. The contest was from The New 105.3 KISS FM, Purdy`s Chocolatier and Manotic Florists. I would like to say I didn't know about those EXCELLENT chocolat they are extremely good.I would like to say that I appreciate that nice gesture. I recommend those chocolat to everyone that love chocolat. Thank-You Suzanne Leclair

I was afraid that the salt would be overpowering but it is actually just a nice subtle taste. An amazing addition to the Purdy family!

Truly a Masterpiece!
Simply the best chocolate I have ever eaten! A must try for anyone who considers themselves a caramel or chocolate lover.

Transcendence in a 300-gram box
There's something phenomenal yet deeply rare about the perfect blend of salt, caramel, and cocoa. Purdy's has once again proven its mastery of the art of chocolate making with a delicate balance that I daresay is spiritual at its core. Spirituality is about living in the moment and acknowledging the joys of life each and every day of an existence that is over much too soon. Himalayan Pink Salt Caramels are one of the few reasons I get out of bed every morning, and subsequently decide to start most days with three squares of bliss ... all the gorgeous gorgeosity made flesh ... akin to a Beethoven symphony or a fine glass of whiskey. I bow to you, ghost of Purdy. I hope and pray that your chocolate lives on for countless eons so that generations of my family can know what it means to live.

Then again, the writer here... You're pretty sick, too. There is no way being a tad high meant they didn't know what was happening.
By the time the kids allowed Jessica to leave, barefoot and slipping in and out of consciousness, Patricia Montes' last status update had already materialized on Facebook. "You're a hoe," wrote the blond 15-year-old, who would soon face charges of capital sexual battery. "Stop trynna act like a saint."
Six blocks south of South Broward High School, a knock sounded at the door of a garage apartment behind an atrophying complex of one-bedroom units. A blond head anchored by a pair of sapphire eyes poked through the barely opened doorway. It was Patricia Montes. She smiled widely, revealing slightly crooked teeth that she's insecure about and would never dare flash in a picture.
A stud pierced Patricia's lower right lip, which offered a jarring contrast to an otherwise innocent appearance. She looked like a teenybopper, a babysitter, someone who, if the conditions were different, could climb into a Brownie's sash and start selling Thin Mints. She cocked her head, and her mother appeared at her side.
Patricia Dalecky is from Queens but has lived in Hollywood for two decades. The heavily tattooed mother of four has long, stringy dark hair, darkening teeth, and, as her Facebook pictures show, an apparent fondness for cheap beer. She stood before her daughter, who suddenly hitched up her shirt to show midriff and a bellybutton ring. A baby wailed from inside the cloistered garage.
"How did you find us?" Dalecky asked a New Times reporter, declining to discuss Patricia, who had just gotten out on $100,000 bail following her arrest. "No one's been able to find us since we left our old place. It doesn't matter anyway; we'll be leaving this place soon."
Transience is a defining aspect of nearly every kid who found his or her way into that yellow house that night, interviews and public records illustrate. With parents in and out of prison and households splintered by domestic violence and drug abuse, the teenagers have spent much of their short lives hopscotching through residences across southern Hollywood, where annual household income hovers between $28,000 and $35,000 and the only way to combat boredom, says one high school friend, "is to get in fights and get fucked up."
It's unclear when, precisely, Erica Avery and Patricia Montes started getting fucked up, but it was both early and under unsupervised circumstances.
Throughout most of Erica's teenaged years, she was unmoored and without a steady home or parenting, three separate friends say. Her mom has long had trouble finding work, so Erica split time between her godfather's house and another friend's place nearby on Johnson Street, recalls pal Angie Morales. Erica, who has rounder features than Patricia, was different when she was younger. Sweeter, Morales says. Less given to emotion.
She and Morales, slight and wavy-haired, would spend days wandering malls in Aventura or Pembroke Pines or lying out at beaches in Hollywood or Fort Lauderdale. Erica was always "the good one," says Morales, 19. "For instance, when I was smoking weed or drinking, she wouldn't smoke or drink with me. I would fight girls, but she was scared to. She was never the fighter type."
But the next year, Morales says she "went away for a bit after getting in some trouble," and when she returned, Erica had changed. Her innocence had evaporated. "One time Erica got into a fight with this one girl right down the street, and I ended up leaving because the cops were about to be called," Morales claims.
During Erica's freshman year at South Broward High, she met a girl with whom she had an immediate connection. Patricia Montes was "the sweetest girl I've ever met," one classmate says. According to several friends, Patricia's family was closer than Erica's. Though Patricia's mom and dad didn't live together, both were a big part of her life, and neither has a criminal record in Florida.
Still, despite that small modicum of stability, there was a wildness about Patricia. She represented a confounding mixture of generosity — like the time she bought a friend pizza and ice cream and the two spent hours discussing dreams and summer plans — and discomfort with her identity. "I had science class with her," explains one student. "She looked straight but was trying to act all bad. She tried to act how she wasn't. She was more of a schoolgirl but started hanging with the wrong people."
The "wrong people" included Erica Avery. Erica was arrested in 2012 for grand theft auto after Hollywood Police caught her in the driver's seat of a Nissan that had been lifted from a YMCA parking lot. Police say she and another friend had intended to sell it at a chop shop. "Avery admitted knowledge of the vehicle being stolen," the incident report says. Avery had just turned 15 — barely old enough for a learner's permit — and wasn't formally charged.
Patricia became obsessed with Erica's brazenness. "She's such a beautiful girl," one friend says of Patricia. "She could have been a model. But she started hanging with the wrong people and drinking, smoking cigarettes and pot, and taking mollies. The crazy thing was how open they were about it."
Then again, the writer here... You're pretty sick, too. There is no way being a tad high meant they didn't know what was happening.
Excellent article. And so sad. I hope Jessica learns something from all this, and makes something of herself. She's got a lot going against her though, at such a young age. What a bunch of messed up adults. Exactly why I'm Pro-Choice.
mark the names down and follow the trial
maybe 10-15 years
out in half the time
dems love criminals out on the streets
and they hate good people having guns
This is the most poorly written article i've ever seen,extremely long,confusing, and misinforming.
This was most poorly written article i've ever seen.Too long, confusing, just a mess. 7 pages....7 pages?!?!
One thing it did show that I can lightly commend is how lost and easily influenced kids are these days.These kids need Jesus,and no i'm not kidding.
This generation needs to be careful, the devil is carving out a path of destruction, lose your soul at your own risk, be wise.
Don't bring Pot into this stupid situation I don't know anyone who has or would even consider a gang rape mainly because they would be too busy eating laughing and sleeping !!! As far as these girls go if you hang around with trash they treat you like trash !! That is all!!
I don't think MNT is anti-marijuana and I don't think they talk about pot-smoking to make it seem like it was a bad thing. They talk about it to show that these kids are 14-16, drinking, smoking, and being all around d-bags. This wasn't anti-pot, this was anti-shitty parenting.
I'd bang em. They wanna get treated like gangsta sluts, I'll turn them into that.
It's such a shame that Jessica is not going to recieve the proper counseling or support. She is more likely to be raped again and to descend further into drug use and depression. These young kids try to act way too grown...and these parents clearly are deluded and did a shitty job raising these POS teens. All these kids have no guidance, no positive role model and are so lost. Their facebook are such a joke. I hope all these kids get the appropriate prison time. None of that juvenile detention shit. They knew what they were doing... borderline pyscho these kids are nowadays.
2 Timothy 3 King James Version (KJV) 3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
South Florida keeps it classy, per usual. This is exactly why I'm getting my kids out of here.
So sad. Had to be in Hollywood though all these fucked up people come from that hell how.
Although we are raising our kids in rural broward now also, there is no way in hell they will even know what boredom means as a teen. If that means traveling every summer, if that means paying for activities and sports, moving across the country - whatever. Too many parents think their kids are more mature than they actually are, and when unsupervised, these things happen.
This is not just Hollywood. It's any outskirts town in America. It's worse in areas where there is nothing going on because yes, everyone is bored and get into sex and drugs to cope. No ambition when no one around you is ambitious. I grew up in southern Indiana and my teen years were very much surrounded by this. I've experienced more than I've ever wanted to see, and thankfully left at 18 for a great traveling job, saw the world and gained culture, and now have a very stable married life. To kids like these, there simply isn't a universe outside of the small clique they live in, and parents who are not attentive do not get them they help they need to deal with emotional issues before it escalates. It took years before I could forgive my family and friends, I hated everything about all of their pathetic lives. And I still hate that town I grew up in. This article's details, I think were meant to shock adults, but to anyone who has been a teen in the last 10-15 years, I think it just seems like a normal part of culture that is unfortunately accepted and ignored.
Paula obviously never met that kid in College who had strict religious parents. Oh that's right, he partied so hard and rebelliously ditched his responsibilities that he flunked out. Feed Children God's word? No. Feed their brain. Teach them to love to learn. Show them how knowledge is power. Give them better examples of what you can accomplish. Don't give them the rod and toss a book written by delusional men who think it's God's word down their throat. Even if it were divine, it's been corrupted by the natural impurity of man.
We need more role models, counselors, and mentors in our communities. At the very least, adults need to stop participating and "liking" fights and sex posted on Facebook. It may be entertaining to you, but it's setting the stage for the youth who will do anything for attention and acceptance. If you won't help, at least don't make it worse.
They have been programmed by the violence in music, games and tv. Feed children Gods Word, give consistent discipline and loving supervision and they won't have time to go bad.
I don't think their parents should be responsible for that. Each one must be responsible for your own act. In this case, the teens are.
Welcome to Hollyhood. Where high school kids goals include "getting fucked up," "getting laid," & treating school like a fashion show / MMA match. You are think weed is the problem? Lol...these kids would drink drano if they thought it'd give them a buzz.
The problem isn't the alcohol, weed, or the drugs. It's the breakdown of society, specifically shitty parenting.
I saw these animals on tv the other night... Now crying n acting innocent. Pfft... Too late! What r their parents doing that they havent realized the disgusting neanderthals theyve raised?! I hope they do the MAX allowed by law and that the parents r sued for EVERYTHING they have or hope to ever get! Pay attention to what ur raising ppl!!!
This really is sad...Also a very good case for Not making Marijuana Legal....Seems as the Dope is all over this story.
Dude, stop posting about this awful story before it turns into a Lifetime movie.
This is one of the most disgusting things I have ever read about. These are just KIDS, still in high school, not old enough to drive or make their own decisions. For Christ's sake, they started smoking marijuana and posting about it at the age of 14! At the age of 14, I was still going to parties with bounce houses! Do I blame only the kids? No, the parents also had rather destructive lives. But someone should have reached out a long time ago to help those kids. And now they are all suffering. I think this generation of kids is so messed up. Since when is it okay to post about your destructive decisions on social networking sites? What does that do for you? This is sad, disturbing, and truly nerve-racking. Let's hope and pray that these won't be the same kids taking care of us when we're old.
@Lynxx3 Learns a valuable lesson from having a horrible tragedy like rape happen to her... You're fucking sick.
You are part of the problem. This attitude. Even though the girls you are talking about are criminals it is this "I'd bang em" mindset that has young men just like you pulling the kind of moves that Jayvon Woolfork did.
Jayvon Woolfork probably said he wanted to "bang" one of them too.
...............why not read books or ride a bike or go just go walking or how about take a job as a volunteer somewhere in a hospital or school or library
only boring people get bored
..........these kids are NOT intended to be re-habilitated because the JUDICIAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX makes too much money off of these kids
............sorry but these clowns are too far gone....i see them on the public city buses all the time and they don't even have respect for their own people, old people people with babies STAND and struggle with their packages and carriages and NOT ONE of these animals ever lifts a finger or gives up his seat
i agree some never had a chance but we need animals to feed the zoo of a judicial system we have - no ?
...........these kids parents had them so that the parents qualified for free government support and cheeze and obamaphones and section 8 housing assistance and welfare
not that those parents wanted kids - not to raise but to use - they wanted the financial benefits the government provides for having children
....................you mean parents are not responsible for their kids ? so the government should pay to raise these kids ?
....................you will never see SHARPTON or JACKSON drag those parents in front of the TV
.............................we should just give them HOODIEs and let them loose in DAVIE one evening and that would be the end of this
............................the drugs abused at such an early age GUARANTEES no return as their bodies and minds are GONE for good
they will never be able to concentrate or absorb anything mentally useful and disintergrate into animals - i see it everyday, young kids who could care less that they shit their pants or have no shelter simply wandering around for more drugs

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Peyton Manning is back in his element, barking out calls, throwing passes and working out with his new teammates. It sure beats watching, wondering and worrying.
He's still finding his comfort zone in Denver after spending 14 seasons in Indianapolis, but Manning is back serving as both quarterback and coach on the football field instead of pacing the sideline and wondering when his neck is going to allow him to return to the huddle.
Manning and his new teammates reported to the Broncos' headquarters Monday morning for the start of the team's offseason conditioning program. After some work in the classroom and weight room, Manning threw passes to his new receivers during some on-field work without the coaches, who aren't allowed to join them outdoors until OTAs start up in May.
"Everybody's been looking forward to this day for some time now," Manning said. "I thought it was a productive first day, but we've got a lot of work to do."
He didn't want to make any rash judgments about his receiving corps and although he said he was pleased with his first official workout since signing a five-year, $96 million deal with Denver on March 20, Manning declined to talk about his health or the progress he's made as he regains his arm strength following a series of neck operations that sidelined him for all of last season and led to his departure from Indy.
"I'm not going to get into these weekly reports. I've kind of been there and done that all fall of last year," said Manning, who is rehabbing under the direction of head athletic trainer Steve "Greek" Antonopulos and new strength and conditioning coach Luke Richesson.
"I'm enjoying being under one roof, being supervised by those two guys," Manning said.
Wide receiver Eric Decker, who has caught more passes from Manning than anyone else over the last month thanks to a series of workouts at local high schools, said the four-time MVP's passes were precise and powerful.
"I'm not his doctor, I don't know how to speak on his health, but catching balls from him, it looks like there's nothing wrong to me," Decker said. "He's throwing great balls, he's getting the work in just like we're getting the work in, knocking the rust off. I see no issues at this point."
Although he's been putting in a lot of miles finding remote high school fields to practice on, Manning said he hasn't really gotten to know his new city yet.
"It's been all business," he said. "Everybody's asking where I'm living. I've been living over here in the facility."
Rehabbing, lifting weights and studying his new playbook.
Manning said he was glad to throw the ball around at team headquarters rather than sneaking around to the local high school fields to play catch with Decker and good friend Brandon Stokley, who signed a one-year deal to return to the Broncos on Monday.
Manning, 36, has always embraced the offseason regimen, and he said he's sure he wasn't the only one who was relieved Monday when NFL teams opened their doors for the voluntary offseason conditioning programs that were scuttled last year by the league's lockout.
"I am (excited), there's no question. I think a lot of players around the NFL will tell you the lockout threw a lot of players off their routine and what they're used to," Manning said. "So, I (like) the fact that everybody's allowed to be in the facility now working out under one roof, we can throw on the field now, right next to the weight room now as opposed to going to a high school. That was what you had to do, but it's nice to be able to do everything here and have some time with the coaches, as well."

Jackass Star, Ryan Dunn, Dies in Car Crash
Tuesday 9:20 AM, 21/06/2011
Oh this is so sad. Unfortunately we have to tell you guys that Jackass star, Ryan Dunn, has died in a car crash. Ryan was 34 years old and his car was found off road around 3:00 in the morning with him and an unidentified passenger in it. No one knows if alcohol played a part in the crash but hours before his death, Ryan tweeted a pic of him and some friends drinking. Our thoughts are with Ryan's friends and family. (tmz)

Chincoteague Island, Virginia, (USA) seems to have the perfect climate for growing roses, and many people living there have taken advantage of this. In May, yards are filled with a beautiful display of color. Roses of all sizes and types can be seen. This rose, a combination of red and yellow, is only partly opened. Here it appears as an old fashioned velvet painting.
This rosebud is the cover image for a CALENDAR called Flower Works ~ Nature Enhanced
All of the flowers in this calendar have a little extra something, some form of manipulation that makes them unique.

U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 10 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large eggplant (about 1 3/4 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tomatoes (about 3/4 pound), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup(s) canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
- 3 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley
- 2.25 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
- 4.50 cup(s) water
- 1.333 cup(s) coarse or medium cornmeal
- 6 tablespoon(s) grated Parmesan
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove. Heat 6 tablespoons of the oil in the same pan over moderately high heat. Add the eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the onion mixture, fresh and canned tomatoes, parsley, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Stir in the pepper.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the water and the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt to a boil. Add the cornmeal in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the polenta is thick, about 20 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan. Serve the hot polenta topped with the vegetables.
- Wine Recommendation: A hearty dish needs a hearty wine. Open an earthy Salice Salentino from Dr. Cosimo Taurino. Made from the obscure negro amaro grape, it is one of the best wines from Italy's Apulia region.

FC Dallas isn't the first, nor will it be the last, soccer team to wear a striped or hooped jersey. But we do take notice when new kits roll out with the horizontal stripes.
Back in April, we weren't the only ones to notice the similarities between the new U.S. Men's National Team jerseys and FCD's.
SMU caught our attention on Wednesday when they unveiled their new red and blue hooped jerseys on Facebook. Red & blue are, of course, FCD's colors and SMU's as well.
So which look do you like the best? FCD? USMNT? SMU?
FC Dallas' surge is getting noticed in the soccer world this week and David Ferreira is front and center in media coverage. The MLS Player of the Week spoke with ESPN's Jeff Carlisle and opened up about the difficulty of his lengthy rehab and his concerns about returning to the pitch. The entire piece is worth a read, but here's an excerpt:
"Definitely there were moments I thought that [I wouldn't return]," Ferreira said. "I was committed during all my therapy sessions, but then I injured myself again and nothing resulted quickly. The support of my family was fundamental and everyone as well as the group encouraged me and strengthened to keep looking forward. Thank God things are going well, and let's hope going forward there are no injuries and I can enjoy many more years of soccer."
Dale Hansen showed off quite the souvenir on Tuesday night's 6 p.m. newscast on Ch. 8. He recently attended a Rod Stewart concert at WinStar World Casino and a viewer taped him catching a soccer ball kicked into the crowd by the famous singer. That signed ball - which he showed on air - is an FC Dallas soccer ball autographed by Stewart. Watch the video from the newscast:
George John chatted with Gina Miller on Tuesday's edition of The Fan Sports Show on TXA21. The defender discussed the team's current winning streak and also fielded some questions about his Greek heritage.
It's amazing what having your best player fit and healthy can do. David Ferreira may very well be the most important player in the league, and not just because he's amazing in his own right, but because of how much better he makes guys like Brek Shea and Fabián Castillo.
Join FC Dallas fans this Sunday, Aug. 26 at 5 p.m. at the The Londoner-Addison for the Party at the Pubs watch party presented by Budweiser, when FC Dallas takes on the L.A. Galaxy in California.

needs a bump!!
Junior Member
Bump because Leona is the best.
LOVE the idea of Adding effects to her spells if they're affected by sunlight. That way she has some way of "Procing" her own passive. Also gives a reason to maybe change up her combo everyonce in a while rather then same W (before fight) E->Q->Wburst combo. BUMP
Buff Eclipse's AP ratio/buff scaling. I agree with this change, but nothing over the top. I think a 45% ratio can work. Lower Eclipse's cooldown. Maybe? If they made the cooldown decrease with the skill level I can see this working. Leona's cooldowns are fairly short. Especially her ultimate. If you build some CDR somewhere, you benefit a lot from the cooldowns. Especially if you have CDR masteries. Increasing the stun radius of Solar Flare No. The range on this stun is decent. You must land the stun with good timing. Poor use punishes you, while good use rewards you. Changing Leona's E to a stun. NO. She already has the potential to lockdown a single target for 3.25 seconds. That is an incredibly long time in a fight. This would be unbalanced. Increasing Leona's Q stun duration Again, no. See above. Have Leona's Q stun duration scale (1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2) I like the idea of having the stun scale, but again you run into total stun duration. I have to disagree with this. Buff Leona's Q AP ratio Yes, but not that high. 35% or 40% works. Give Leona some more health and health regeneration per level No. That's what runes and items are for. You need to make a tradeoff somewhere. Also, go look into her base health regen stats and per level stats. Its one of the highest in the game. You don't seem to understand champion balance. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_champion's_Health_Regeneration Edit. Wanted to make a comment on her passive. Allow her to proc her passive on minions. She cannot proc the passive on champions. I think that the following change can help her farm minions, as well as give her potential to be a solo champion. Although this may pose the problem of giving her jungle viability. Although this isn't really a bad thing, she isn't totally meant for this role. I love the idea of her ganking lanes, and her abilities suite really well for this. If we're talking about champion roles, say in terms of junglers, Riot has been trying to make it easier for different types of jungling champions. This can potentially lead to champions who are normally not played in jungle roles. Such as AP champions, which Riot has commented on. I would love to see a Leona jungle work. Break ze meta!
I do, and I don't agree with that. She isn't meant to be a duelist, but that can always change. I mean people have done solo mids with Leona, but I don't think it's something that works often enough for it to be viable. So lets say for curiosity she does have the ability to proc it herself, on everything. Now she can go anywhere. Now what? Do you throw her top? Why? Just because you can? How would that even be viable againts normal Top laners, verus Olaf, Irelia, Singed, etc. Do you start roaming if your ahead? or just tower camp if you get behind? That offers little to a team composition, and is doing more harm than good. Now lets say for example you send Leona mid. Sure she can have a hard time against most normal AP mids, especially if they have ranged basic attacks. You are going to farm with W and E, and stun with Q if anything happens. You might have the possibility to roam. You also have great opportunity to lock down a champion, but i don't think Leona would have enough burst damage to finish anyone off. The AP scaling isn't meant for that. Again, I think she can get outplayed a lot by most AP mids. Now lets say she can jungle. She has great ability to clear with the AoE, and her W gives her some more resistances. She is going to be heavily mana dependent though. Her mana costs and cooldown may force one to use good timing on skills and procing the passive. Now what can she do? She can start ganks. At level 3 she has very high presence. Her range on Zenith Blade is very good. You have to land the ability though, to have a chance of getting a successful gank. Otherwise you need to sneak in from behind if that fails, and walk up for the stun. Hope the enemy burns a flash, and comeback in a few seconds. The only downside I can see is her mobility. You would need to spec masteries or runes a little bit, and this can help with traveling between camps. Speed will also help geting to a lane faster, so there is less time wasted in walking. You also don't want to be spending too much time camping a lane, as with any jungler.

Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va. -- Skylar Diggins and Notre Dame are headed back to the Final Four for another rematch with Connecticut.
Before looking ahead, though, they wanted to soak in their third consecutive trip to the national semifinals."We're enjoying the moment right now," Diggins said when asked about UConn. "We'll talk about that later." The flashy left-hander shook off early foul trouble to score 24 points and the Fighting Irish rallied to beat Duke 87-76 on Tuesday night to earn their third straight trip to the Final Four. The Irish have lost in the past two national championship games."I want to win a championship for coach (Muffet) McGraw bad," Diggins, one of just two seniors on the Notre Dame roster, said. "When you have a coach who believes in you so much, I'd do anything for her."Kayla McBride added 18 points while Jewell Loyd and Natalie Achonwa had 17 each as the Fighting Irish (35-1) won their school-record 30th consecutive game, earning a fourth meeting with the Huskies this season.It's also the third straight meeting between the two Big East rivals in the Final Four. The Irish won both of those and have dominated the series lately, winning seven of the past eight meetings. Notre Dame swept UConn in all three meetings this season in thrilling fashion, winning in overtime and by 1 and 2 points.The Irish had to rally past Duke to earn the right to get there again.Trailing by six at the half and looking disjointed without Diggins on the court, Notre Dame got back to playing the way it likes after the break and took control with a 15-2 run early in the second half to take a 50-42 lead."We talked in the beginning about leaving with no regrets," Diggins said, adding that the first half could hardly have gone worse. "I think we were all pressing a little bit. We weren't playing like we talked about."Diggins started the run with her fourth 3-pointer of the game and followed quickly with a no-look feed to Natalie Achonwa, who also grabbed 13 rebounds, for a layup that had drew an impressed roar from the crowd at Old Dominion's Constant Center. Diggins added a steal and a layup, and McBride finished the burst with another 3-pointer.Duke trailed by as many as 16 before closing the gap only slightly in the desperate final minutes."It bothers me a little bit that we had to fight so hard at the end. It was like, `Where's that been?" Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said. "You've got to play 40 minutes at this level. It was inspiring but also a little irritating."The Blue Devils, who lost in the regional finals for the fourth straight year, hurt their cause with 21 turnovers.In the first half, the game developed better than Duke (33-3) could have hoped.Diggins was whistled for two fouls in the first 4:10 and went to the bench, and after McBride hit a pair of jumpers, the Fighting Irish looked out of sorts. They extended their lead to 17-13 on a 3-pointer by Kaila Turner and two free throws by Ariel Braker, then went more than seven minutes without a point.A free throw by Elizabeth Williams for Duke ignited a 13-0 run that took more than six of those minutes. Tricia Liston, who led the Blue Devils with 19 points, scored eight in the burst and Chloe Wells finished it with a 12-foot jumper."I think they were outworking us," said Diggins, who earned AP All-America honors for the second straight season earlier on Tuesday. "I've never seen that from my team. They were getting hustle scrap points. I couldn't wait to get in that locker room. We had to light a fire. We set the tone on defense and got some stops and played our game."Getting their leader back helped greatly."Sky's the best point guard in the country and she changes the game in everything she does," Achonwa said. "Her being off the court for 20 seconds changes the game."Diggins returned with about 8 minutes to go in the half and while playing passively on defense to avoid a third foul, hit three 3-pointers in a span of 2:16, cutting a nine-point deficit to 32-31 with 1:07 left.A basket by Williams and Wells' 3 just before the half gave Duke a 37-31 advantage.The weekend was a homecoming for Williams, a Virginia Beach native, but Duke's scoring leader missed several shots from in close. She finished 3 for 9 and scored 8 points, roughly half her average."It's really hard. We felt like we deserved to be here but we didn't play a full game," Williams said.Haley Peters added 15 points and 10 rebounds for Duke, and Richa Jackson scored 12.

Craving for Kishka with Gravy
- 31
- Follow
This may sound a bit weird to some C'hounds out there, but I am having a serious craving for kishka with gravy. I have a feeling you'll recommend the usual (e.g. Centre Street, Pancer, etc.) but any suggestions as to the best kishka out there? Is Yitz's any good? I hate when it comes out all soggy; it is much better when the casing is well done and crisp. Has to be good gravy too.
Once you've experienced the kishka at Balkan's restaurant in Montreal (circa 1968), you are spoiled for anything else. Yes, Centre St and Pancer's (and Perl's if they ever reopen) are probably Toronto's best. Nortown's is edible. But you really need to make your own to get something truly delish. And I'm now craving a leaden, fattening food, devoid of any positive nutritive value, from a defunct Montreal restaurant. Oy.
re: embee
Make my own?? I wouldn't even know where to start. My grandmother used to make it when she was here; I haven't had home make for years. I guess my mom still has the recipe. I'll ask her, although I don't think I'll be making that any time soon. A 35 y.o. born-in-TO male going schmaltz shopping - that's funny. I guess it's not much different than going to Cumbrae for a tub of duck fat.
I don't think the kishka at Perl's has the real casing any more (due to health regulations??? - that's what my mother told me she heard at Perl's). I think it comes in plastic now. That sucks.
You have made me crave the kishka at Balkan's too, and I've never even been there :-)
Maybe I'll try the kishka at Yitz's tonight. I know it will be a soggy mess, but it's close and my girlfriend has a craving for a home banquet burger from Burger Shack around the corner. Best burgers in town. Yum. My bubby would not be pleased.
0 -
re: embee
I'd choose Pancer's over Yitz's. My last one at Yitz's was so old that the skin almost had to be cut with a steak knife...Totally Awful!
I actually like Nortown's and often put it in with a Brisket...or even with a roasted Chicken..confession...if I'm using it with Chicken I buy a pkg. of McCormack's Mushroom Gravy...not bad at all!(I am a lousy Gravy maker!)0 -
re: embee
Don't underestimate Coleman's at Bathurst and Lawrence (go north one street past Lawrence and turn east into the little strip mall NOT the big mall on the west). You can count on them for the old classics--great gravy of the old-fashioned comfort variety, kishkas, knishes, and of course, latkas--the latkas really are delicious. The corned beef hash is the best in Toronto and they also have some good for value dinner specials. Plus, you can mix and match to get your perfect meal--for me, it's latkas, new dills, and a knish and maybe a slice of pie--their pies are good too and they use quality ice cream for the a la mode. The nicest part about Coleman's , though, is that there really is a sense of community in the place.
re: YumBum
I'll certainly agree with your assessment of Coleman's corned beef hash. Definitely the best in Toronto. The latkes are okay. However, I feel their knishes are a ripoff and the gravy nothing special. I've never had the kishka.
re: embee
I can't believe that I can't make up my mind about the 'worst' Kishka I've ever eaten..once at Yitz's it was so bad that the part that wasn't covered in gravy was so tough and dry on the bottom that I could have used a steak knife and I'm not sure that even that would have worked!
The other Kishka was at Coleman's and I think it was a dead heat between which was more awful...but honestly, I would never eat Kishka at either place again. I find Pancer's acceptable, but to me, the best is from "Nortown'" reheated in my own kitchen with either my own (not very good..(defrosted) gravy or a can of Franco-American mushroom gravy in a pinch.
Don't knock the F.A. Gravy it is not highend or designer it's just a very easy & fairly good substitute for the real thing in my opinion.0
I had one of my frequent cravings for halishkes (cabbage rolls) a few weeks ago, so I headed to Katz's Deli for takeout. Their halishkes are perfect, as long as you ask for some that haven't been sitting in the steam table for hours - I often buy them cold and reheat at home.
While I was standing around the takeout counter, I eyed the kishke and bought some, with gravy. Not good - the kishke itself might have been fine, but the gravy was thick, gloppy and way too salty.
I've been told that one company makes the kishke for all the delis in Toronto. Can anyone confirm this?
re: FlavoursGal
Katz's gravy tastes fake. You need to get the "pastrami sauce" for moisture. I agree with you about their cabbage - probably Katz's one great dish.
I don't know about the manufacturing provenance of Toronto kishka, but it does seem to look the same everywhere. Of course, the collagen or plastic casings now in wide use would cause this also.
re: Vinnie Vidimangi
anyone who remembers the sadly missed original Noshery, must be almost as old as I am.
Miss their chopped liver on rye, which was then deep fried.
Also their ribs!
All kishka in Toronto with real casing tastes about the same.
I am not sure how anyone can eat the plastic casing stuff!
Pancers, Katz's Pickle Barrel, and Nortown.
Problem is that sometimes the deli's nuke it and you get that tough leather like casing.
Nortown's takeout is not bad, and I think because I steam it to soften it, it tastes a little better than the deli's.0-
re: pearlD
Yes, it was covered in the egg mixture before being fried.
Also their wonderful Chow Chow sandwich, which I must now replicate at home.
I wish that we had more of this type of restaurant in Toronto.
Something for everyone.0
re: Bob Catt
I have a fried from Scotland who says he aalways missed genuine haggis until he tried kishka. There is a good deal of similarity between the two, he claims.
re: ekammin
They are conceptually similar, but they don't taste remotely alike. I find it hard to imagine that someone who didn't grow up eating kishka or haggis would willingly develop a taste for either one.
Kishka is traditionally a stuffed cow intestine, but is now more likely to be a collagen tube (which bears some similarity to the real thing) or a plastic casing (don't ask). The stuffing allows for great creativity, but most folks who make it aren't into creative inspirations. There are recipes for supposedly lighter and more nutritious "mock kishka" in some modern Jewish cookbooks, but why bother? It's an old fashioned comfort food, assuming one's digestive system can still cope. It is typically made of flour, fried onions, salt & pepper, possibly some garlic, and lots of chicken fat. Some people put in bits of meat. It is then roasted until browned, sliced, and then sauteed in its own fat to brown the cut slices.
Haggis is prepared similarly, but is traditionally a sheep's stomach stuffed with oats and all kinds of offal. Thinking about it a bit, haggis would seem to have more nutritive value, but is even more an "acquired taste" than kishka.
re: Finnegan
I always thought that Regina's at Sheppard and Wilmington had a good take out version but it has been years since I have there. Can anyone confirm?
re: fleisch
I agree with you Fleischy...the food at Marky's ain't fancy (and the service can bit cold) but it is authentic. Actually I think people go to deli's to get abused...I love the rude service at the Carnegie Deli in New York when unwitting tourist try to make substitutions from the menu. Priceless
Marky's has been closed for at least 6 months and is scarcely missed.
Oldsters will remember Kishka with gravy at the old Noshery Restaurant on Eglinton Ave W. whichsubsequently moved to the lower level of Yorkdale Plaza... of course this is going back at least 30 years. But I have yet to taste a better Kishka to this day. And no one makes Kishka with natural casing any more. Oh, for the good old days!-
re: acd123
Caplansky's. They serve it crispy so if yours isn't when you're served, send it back! I forget where they get it from - I think Pancer. The benefit of ordering it at Caplansky's is that the smoked meat gravy is solid!

"Let's Cowboy Up"
POSTED: Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 5:46pm
UPDATED: Saturday, March 8, 2014 - 1:34pm
Tyler (KETK) — We've been so busy I've almost let this one get by me. The nannification of the country continues--- this time in the state of Idaho.
The Washington Times reports parents at one Idaho high school were told if they don't quit cheering for their child basketball players, they'd be sent to the penalty box for a minute.
"They think the only way they can encourage their kids is verbally," said Justin Brown, the recreation coordinator for Post Falls, in The Coeur d'Alene Press.
Mr. Brown said some basketball events are touted as "Silent Cheer Day," where parents are allowed to hold up signs to support their children on the court, but are banned from yelling. If they're caught, they get a red penalty card, which sends them to a designated spot in the gym for a full minute, Fox News reported.
Cheering can lead to negativity, said Mr. Brown to the newspaper. But parents and game watchers are puzzled by the policy.
"Nobody had ever heard of this before," said Lorna Allen, a grandmother who attended one of the games, to Fox News. "I'm going to get thrown out right off the bat."
Meanwhile, one of the referees who was tasked with watching the fans said he gave out 15 red cards during the test run of the first "Silent Cheer Day" game.
It's time for this country to shake off whatever this P.C. business is and put the big-boy pants back on.
Winning is great, but you learn from losing and the cat-calls that sometimes go along with it.
That's my point of view what's yours?
You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or Facebook me at KETK Neal Barton.

There is a flip side to that coin. I've coached t-ball at the YMCA. Some parents get a little overbearing. There were several times when the opposing team would have to default for lack of players. We would accept the default and offer to loan them a player from our team so the game could go on. Newsflash little kids just want to play! No one gets scouted for the majors in t-ball. Good sportsman ship is the main goal of organized sports. It's important to win and loose well.
Why have the games at all? After all, aren't cheering parents really inciting a riot, they're not really rooting for their kids but demeaning the opposing team? Isn't the outcome of the game unfair and demeaning to the losing team?
I want to see them try this tactic with Vladimir Putin. Time out Putin. He would laugh them to scorn. He's shaking in his boots now at the wussy Americans.
All they have to do is VOTE OUT THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Vote'em out and send them the message, "mess with the parents and you will get your walking papers."

I was gonna run terra grapplers also with dick cepek dc2 4.5 back spacing. |
you can run 285/70/17's but your going to have to do trim the inside of your fender well to prevent rubbing.
How much trimming do you think? Just easy plastic trimming?
I'm lifting my 07 dbl cab sport this weekend with the Toytec 3" lift and adding 1.25" Sydertrax wheel spacers so I can clear the UCA's w/o swapping out the stock 17" wheels just yet. Can anyone confirm that the BFG AT's 275/70/17 will fit ok? They are special order, not sure why but the 285's are too wide and don't want to settle for the 265 width, what do you think??

I was wondering if something like that would happen. I've created a new branch, /LFS/branches/test, that has the modified instructions. You can use that to build a new lfs. I suppose that you could also try to just chroot from the host and rebuild glibc as in Chapter 6 with the sed. I think in that case you might get away with: sed -i -e 's/static __m128i/inline &/' sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strstr.c mkdir -v ../glibc-build cd ../glibc-build ../glibc-2.18/configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --disable-profile \ --enable-kernel=2.6.32 \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc make make install Nothing else should change. The fallback would be to do a complete rebuild. -- Bruce
