Best Ethnic Grocer
La Tropicana - CLOSED
As the region grows, ethnic stores sprout throughout the city. One underappreciated gem of the scene is La Tropicana. Located in South St. Louis, near the intersection of Kingshighway and Chippewa Street, Tropicana is a hidden treasure. Not only does the market provide the fresh produce required for Hispanic and Cuban cuisine -- poblano peppers and cactus -- it serves…

Best Working-Class Power Breakfast
White Castle
Gone are the days when White Castle shunned advertising and marketing, relying solely on the reputation of its onions, grease and square buns to sell meat. Gone are the days when the all-night meal mecca was limited to a few locations in a handful of Midwestern and Eastern cities. The chain, which doesn't sell franchises, has grown to 30 outlets…

Best Culinary Middle Finger to President Bush's War on Obesity
Slinger, O.T. Hodge Chile Parlor
Dieting is as American as mom and apple pie. But what continues to puzzle is that none of us seems to remember the first thing we were taught in health class our sophomore year in high school -- that dieting doesn't work. It's all about the exercise, folks. So, provided you can pull your ass off the couch and walk…

Best Veggie Sandwich
Adriana's (on the Hill)
A restaurant advertising "Fresh Salsicca" in its windows might seem an unlikely place to find a tasty vegetarian lunch, but Adriana's offers much more than just pasta with red sauce. Along with fresh salads, caponata and eggplant Parmesan soup, the café makes two terrific veggie sandwiches: the Charlie Special (featuring mozzarella, provolone, black olives, lettuce and tomatoes) and Sunny's Veggie…
More >>
Best Vegetarian Deli
The vibe is one reason to visit Juhari's, located inside the Golden Grocer in the Central West End, but the restaurant's food is even more compelling. Offering a selection of vegetarian, vegan and raw food, the menu that ranges from Sojourner Scrambled Tofu and Veggie Bacon for breakfast to the Marcus Garvey Burger BLT and the Queen Ann Nzingha Club…
More >>
Best Waldorf Chicken Salad
Carolyn's A Matter of Taste
Tucked under a black-and-white polka-dot canopy, off to the side of a strip mall on the main street of Ladue, sits Carolyn's, the spot for ladies-who-lunch. The smell of fresh pies, cakes and muffins wafts from the back kitchen of this cozy bistro into the dining room; large crocks of homemade soup stand alongside tureens of iced tea; the pastry,…
More >>
Best Vegetarian Soul Food
Eternity Deli
Descending the stairs into this deli's soothing interior, customers are greeted by the ominous "Welcome to Eternity" sign hanging behind the counter. But if Eternity's Barbeque Delite is the last thing you taste before slipping through to the next world, its memory will gently carry you to the other side. Although the full soul menu hasn't quite been instituted, Eternity…

Best $1.19 Sandwich
Scoff if you must, but you can get good food at the gas station -- not just any gas station but the refrigerated case at QuikTrip. If you've sampled the chicken-fried-beef-and-spicy-cheese sandwich, you know how unexpectedly good it is -- it's got a hearty ... er ... beefy flavor. The spicy chicken sandwich is truly spicy -- you'd better have…
More >>
Best Veggie Burrito
El Burrito Loco
Up for some serious beanage? Three words: El. Burrito. Loco. It's really huge, it's really cheap and it's really good, which is probably why we always have to wait for a table at this tiny, friendly South Side burrito stand. Although all the other tortilla treats at El Burrito Loco come in more diminutive dimensions, the corpulent vegetarian burrito is,…

Best Guacamole
Ramon's El Dorado
Raymundo "Ramon" Otero, he of Ramon's El Dorado Restaurant, grew up in El Salto, Mexico, in a rural area where, as a child, he tended sheep and goats on the mountaintop where his family lived. He learned to cook from his mother, who for 25 years operated a restaurant there. After he arrived in Collinsville in August 1967, Otero opened…

Best Alternative to Toasted Ravioli
Toasted Cannelloni at the Uptown Café
Head to one of the restaurants in the Café Manhattan family -- we're partial to the Uptown Café, a hole-in-the-wall in downtown Clayton -- and taste the appetizer that toasted ravioli longs to be. Though we risk blaspheming a St. Louis staple, toasted cannelloni gives you a lighter pocket for the meat, with no hard, gummy corners. Still, the fried…
More >>
Best Dumplings
Café Lavash
You may not know it, but the former Soviet republic of Georgia is famous for its cuisine, and Café Lavash should be famous for its version of dumplings. Chef/owner Edward Kiknadze's plump offerings are flat-out terrific. Each is a blast of flavor, stuffed plump and tight, seams pinched prettily together and covered with plenty of fresh parsley. Kiknadze has a…
More >>
Best Pizza
Perhaps no food is the subject of more sizzling debates than pizza. You seldom hear expressions of warm feeling or heated opinion on the subject of, say, tuna salad, but pizza -- believed by some to have evolved from Middle Eastern flatbread -- seems to pluck at some particularly primal string in the human culinary consciousness. Between the orgiastic Chicago…
More >>
Best Links
G&W Meat & Bavarian Style Sausage Company
The best links don't come at the end of a Web article. They dangle from the rafters of G&W Meat in long, loopy ropes of all-beef Landjager sausage. Family-run for 35 years, G&W has passed from two brothers to their sons, Gerhard Wanninger and his cousin Bob Wanninger. They continue the tradition of hausmacher (housemade) liverwurst, a creamy pâté that…
More >>
Best Pineapple-and-Ham Pizza
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who like pineapple-and-ham pizza and those who are pitied by the first group. Granted, the idea of eating pizza with pineapple on it sounds a little funky -- until you try it. Once you do, the gates of understanding open and the pizza-delivery vehicle drives straight through to the brain's…
More >>
Best Vegetarian Restaurant
Hungry Buddha
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Blake Brokaw is some sort of genius, if only for the heavenly Hungry Buddha, which cranks out stir-fry weekdays on Washington Avenue. And you don't have to be a genius to not look like an idiot here, either: The concept's basic -- as most brilliant ideas are: Provide some stir-fry fixins…
More >>
Best Chinese Restaurant
Lee's Restaurant
Located in a shopping plaza in Olivette, the unassuming Lee's Chinese Restaurant is one of St. Louis' best-kept secrets. The cozy restaurant has been there for years and was a favorite of Jack Carney, departed KMOX-AM personality. The food is just as good, if not better, than it was a quarter-century ago. The place features a variety of specialties but…
More >>
Best Hot-and-Sour Soup
In Soo
Erica Jong has compared hot-and-sour soup to the heat of an adulterous love. She is undeniably correct, but we prefer to leave the sex metaphors to the poets and just eat it; our lyrically challenged mind can't hope to do justice to its thick, glossy, fungus-y, peppery, eggy, tofu-ey, vinegary splendor. This soup is so good it should be bad…
More >>
Best East Side Restaurant
Neruda - CLOSED
It had to happen. Someone had to yank some big-city swank over to the other side of the river. When you're tired of standard fare on the East Side, look for Neruda, named for the Chilean poet Pablo (portrayed in the classic film Il Postino). Enjoy smoked-chicken potstickers in a shiitake-mushroom/tomato relish. Savor the roasted honey-lime-chipotle chicken with wild mushrooms…
More >>
Best Place to Buy Fresh Seafood
Bob's Seafood
It's no tale, ha-ha-ha, that Bob's is a great place to find the best fish and seafood in this area. Bob's, which has been in business 24 years at the Market in the Loop, deals fish and seafood to about 100 area restaurants, including the Blue Water Grill. You can find the following underwater creatures at owner Bob Mepham's itsy…
More >>
Best Open-Air Market
Soulard Farmers Market
Often imitated, never duplicated, Soulard Farmers Market, a St. Louis fixture since 1838, is today the lone survivor of what once were numerous public markets in the city. Although other open-air markets pepper the metropolitan area -- Clayton and University City have them, for instance, and a fantastic little gem has sprung up in Edwardsville -- Soulard's is the best…
More >>
Best Bar/Nightclub
Venice Café
A blow-up doll, floating from the ceiling. Multicolored tiles and lights everywhere. And Missouri vanity license plates that read "TRIPE." You could spend a year inside the Venice and still not notice everything on the cram-packed walls and ceilings decorated with just about anything the mind can imagine. The beer garden is a real garden, with trees providing canopy and large…
More >>
Best Wine Bar
Remy's Kitchen & Wine Bar
There are wine bars, and then there are wine bars; some austere, some brash, others outright dull. Want some fun? Remy's, a free spirit of the species, debunks the theory that serving the nectar of the gods is an inherently haughty business. Remy's offers more than 40 different wines by the glass and an impressive array of bottles from around…
More >>
Best Dive Bar
Maple Leaf Inn
From the outside, the Maple Leaf Inn looks grim, even forbidding: just a dirty Budweiser sign and a flimsy door covered with metal mesh. Inside, the walls are covered with snapshots of patrons, some with their dogs, some with fresh hunting kills. The scuffed wooden bar is lined with pickle jars and karaoke books. A happy-hour draft costs 85 cents.…
More >>
Best Coffeehouse
The name of this U. City coffeehouse is Yiddish for "crazy," and you'd be very, very meshuggah to miss its brewed-to-order joe. Patrick Liberto, who has owned the place for almost six years, offers his devotees a casual, humble room in the Delmar Loop. Students hang there, as do locals and area "journalists." Meshuggah's met with some stiff competition in…
More >>
Best Martini
Nik's Wine Bar & Hookah Lounge
This neighborhood joint draws an eclectic crowd from all over the St. Louis area because of many offerings, but the martinis are the best. Nik's, which will celebrate its five-year anniversary in December, features a smashing assortment of 37 house martinis, from the Classic Martini to the Purple Haze, a combination of Stoli, Blue Curacao and cranberry juice. There's also…
More >>
Best Bartender
John Berg, Dressel's Pub
We have little regard for those friendly "how's it goin', Joe, what can I do for ya?" sorts of bartenders. Give us someone enigmatic to mix our drinks, keep us guessing and make us feel even a little bit unsure. Someone who reminds us that if we're looking for solace in a bar, we should be giving our lives some…
More >>
Best Beer Selection
Corral Liquors
No one has liver or time enough to drink all the beers offered at Corral Liquors in Granite City, but many a native of this brew town would like to die trying. Corral sells more than 400 brands of microbrewery and imported beers at its Granite City store, which is next door to Gitcho's Gas and Cars. The other Corral…
More >>
Best Orange Soda
Vess Whistle Orange
If you simply have to know, all the ingredients of soft drinks are right there on the label. Sometimes knowing can be unsettling. The third most prevalent ingredient in Mountain Dew, both the dreary regular flavor and the fantastic Code Red variety, is orange juice from concentrate. Even if you try real hard when you take a sip, chances are,…
More >>
Best Barbecue
Smoki O's
Back in the day, when we boomed around on a motorcycle, an old flame accused us of being able to spot the curling smoke of a barbecue pit through the side of our helmet, resulting in sudden, sliding 180-degree reversals and mad dashes in hot pursuit. In the Lou, the benchmarks of good 'cue are ribs, links and snoots, whereas…
More >>
Best Name for a Bar
Straight Home
Ask the steelworkers at Granite City Steel where they're going after work, and they'll tell you, "Straight home." That could be home to the spouse and kids, or it could mean across the street to Straight Home, the bar with the mendacious moniker. Straight Home has been in operation since 1987, run by Janet, who refuses to give her last…
More >>
Best College-Town Bar
Stagger Inn... Again
Along with its nightly beer specials, free popcorn, substantial menu (the kitchen closes by 9, however), music seven nights a week (including entertaining open-mics on Wednesday and Sunday), ample seating and one of the area's best bartenders in Charmaine, the Stagger Inn ... Again exudes a friendly, unpretentious warmth that no amount of Jägermeister (and the shots do flow at…
More >>
Best Missouri Winery
Stone Hill Winery
Nearly a century ago, Stone Hill Winery was the nation's second-largest winery and the mothership of a thriving Missouri winemaking industry. Many of Missouri's wineries were founded by immigrants -- mostly Germans -- who settled small communities such as Hermann and Dutzow along the Missouri River. Hermann emerged as the center of the winemaking industry and home to more than…
More >>
Best Sommelier
I Fratellini Caffe and Rosticceria
"I've always looked for the different, the out-of-the-way, never the easy, sure thing," explains Rich Zellich when we ask him how he came to be the sommelier at I Fratellini. St. Louis has many wine enthusiasts, but except for the francophiles, few are smitten with the wine of a single country. Zellich is so rapturous about Italian wine that he…
More >>
Best Italian Restaurant
Trattoria Marcella
Variety may be the spice of life, but let's face it: We head like lemmings for the nearest Starbucks even as we denounce the corporation's McDonald's-style global tyranny and capitalist greed (hey, someone's keeping them in business). Instead, why not patronize that cute café, diner or deli down the street? Our favorite is a little trattoria on the corner of…
More >>
Best Bakery
McArthur's Bakery
Rationalize it with a sandwich first -- on French bread -- then sink into the tiramisu or the famous strawberry whipped-cream cake or the blanc et noire chocolate mousse or, best of all, the layered chocolate, raspberry marmalade and ganache of the treasure truffle torte. McArthur's may have Scottish blood in its distant past, but the head baker trained under…
More >>
Best Server
Stephanie Dotson, Tangerine
Think Thora Birch in Ghost World: self-possessed and surly, yet ... well ... darling. That's Stephanie Dotson, who waits tables and bartends at Tangerine and, to our thinking, is St. Louis' best waitress. Her demeanor is all don't-fuck-with-me, yet she works a busy Friday-night floor with finesse and can be relied upon to tell the truth about menu specials. If…
More >>
Best Waitstaff
Before Tony's moved to its current Broadway location, server Herb Cray (now retired) found he had a knack for showing restaurant guests to their tables while ascending a flight of stairs -- backward. Owner Vince Bommarito's philosophy, which also applied to Cray, both figuratively and literally, is that "you never turn your back on a guest." Tony's has employees who…
More >>
Best Sushi
Sansui West
There was a time, not long ago, when the phrase "raw fish" made most St. Louisans blanch. But our palates are changing; we no longer gag at rawness, and sushi joints are popping up all over the place. Everyone's got his or her fave, but we say Sansui West is the best. Occupying the former location of another sushi restaurant,…
More >>
Best BLT Roll
Purists and dilettantes cringe when we sing odes to the BLT roll at Nobu's. They don't know what they're missing. Revered by many as the city's premier temple of sushi, Nobu's has previously pioneered such breakthroughs as slicing the nigiri sushi in half. That one was good, but it's got nothing on the BLT roll. This extraordinary nosh is just…
More >>
Best Bollywood-and-Vindaloo Vendor
Seema Enterprises
Got ghee? Sure, it's easier to feed your Indian cravings by ordering your palak paneer and chicken vindaloo takeout, but if you're itching to experiment, cooking curry at home, you'll need ingredients that are perhaps a bit too exotic for the big generalist groceries. Do you really expect to find moong dal, sooji rice flour or a slab of tamarind…
More >>
Best Restaurant Ambience
Whereas some folks prefer linen tablecloths and four different-size forks, others go for a linoleum counter and a squeeze bottle of mustard. For the latter, let-it-all-hang-out crowd, Woofie's has an unusual charm. The Fotomat-size hotdog stand must be recognized for its superlative collection of signed photos of local media personalities on the wall who have either retired or died or…
More >>
Best Place to Time-Travel
Al's Steak House
As you might've guessed, the alluring opportunity for time travel will cost you -- in this case, exactly the price of a fancy dinner. Stepping into Al's, located on a long-forgotten patch on downtown's First Street, is like walking into a posh New York restaurant in the early '60s. Completely expect to turn around and see Audrey Hepburn at the…
More >>
Best Seafood Appetizer
Seasoned Deep-Fried Lobster Tail, Kirk's American Bistro & Restaurant
The ultimate appetizer, by St. Louis standards, should be deep-fried. How about a seasoned deep-fried lobster tail? The chef at Kirk's is attuned to his customers' palates, changing the menu on a regular basis to add, subtract, cook to order and basically do what it takes to create unique appetizers. Check out Kirk's perfect spicy egg rolls and brilliantly imagined…

Best Culinary Dominatrix
In Soo Jung, In Soo
In Soo Jung doesn't lightly suffer fools, the kind of fools who have the nerve to taint her heavenly potstickers with sweet-and-sour sauce ("No! You use soy sauce and vinegar on potstickers!"), the kind who want soy sauce for their egg rolls ("No! You use sweet-and-sour sauce on egg rolls!"). Yeah, yeah, on the surface the treatment recalls Seinfeld's Soup…
More >>
Best Weird Beverage
St. Louis Bubble Tea
Fill a plastic cup with green tea and flavored syrup, throw in a handful of slimy brown tapioca pods and hermetically seal it in a special machine with cartoon-printed plastic wrap, and you have bubble tea. The latest in the ever-evolving genre of trendy youth-culture beverages, it's more fun than a chai latte and has the added advantage of not…
More >>
Best Menu
Bella Città Mediterranean
To be truly ravishing, a menu must use ingredients in seductive ways, coax us to try new dishes and make it nearly impossible to decide what to order. The menu at Bella Città Mediterranean is alluring by any measure. When the restaurant opened last spring, its menu was crafted by owner Chris Heisler and executive chef Paul Hayes. They cast…
More >>
Best Diner
South City Diner
We know a thing or two about diners and the difference between the real deal and those retro ripoffs that have all of the chrome and none of the rib-sticking fare. You learn to look for the diner essentials: coffee done in the American style -- clear, strong and never left too long on the burner; sunny-side-up eggs with crisp…
More >>
Best Place for a Chocolate Fix
Chocolate Bar
Quality, quantity, variety: They're all to be found at the newish Chocolate Bar in Lafayette Square, a chocolate junkie's dream. Everything from fruit to fortune cookies has been dipped in white, milk or dark chocolate. There are cakes and truffles, all injected with chocolate -- or, if you prefer, you can get your chocolate uncut, by the pound. Because everything…
More >>
Best Dinner Rolls
Sidney Street Café
St. Louis is home to a number of good breadmakers: Companion, Black Bear and, of course, the ubiquitous St. Louis Bread Company. But Sidney Street Café, which bakes its own, has dipped back into St. Louis' French history with the beignet. A favorite in the coffee shops of New Orleans, beignets are lumps of deep-fried dough, typically dusted with powdered…
More >>
Best New Restaurant
Luciano's Trattoria - CLOSED
Luciano's is not only the best new restaurant in town, it's also the most improved new restaurant. Opening the place was a mammoth undertaking -- it has 7,000 square feet of space and seats 235 diners. But when the restaurant debuted in June 2002, after just three months of construction, we were awed by the spare, harmonious food that emerged…
More >>
Best Burgers
O'Connell's Pub
Lots of places brag about their burgers. O'Connell's doesn't have to. It's got the reputation and backs it up with every medium-rare it produces. Hamburgers here are moist, seasoned just right and bursting with that heavenly cooked-ground-beef flavor. They're served on the requisite toasted sesame-seed bun, along with the obligatory onion slice and pickle wedge. Ask to have the onions…
More >>
Best Late-Night Munchies
Chris' Pancake and Dining
If you've got 4 a.m. munchies, you're going to have to hit one of the city's standards -- Courtesy, Uncle Bill's, South City Diner. And at 4 a.m. you're really just looking for grease and salt, and maybe a little syrup (mmm, syrup). OK, maybe a side of bacon, too. But we're the type of after-hours freaks who prefer slipping…
More >>
Best Frozen Dinner
Allen Foods Inc.
You've got your gourmet on-the-run storefronts and your ethnic takeouts. Yet another key element in the American diet mix is distinctly frozen. But why buy Swanson's and Stouffer's when you can get the same food that some restaurants buy and reheat? What started out in the 1890s as a family business with a horse-drawn cart has emerged as one of…
More >>
Best Dessert Menu
King Louie's
The most accomplished King Louie's diners -- and there are a lot of them -- understand the idea of pacing and have realized the necessity of restraint, even when they're popping pommes frites, shoveling in salad and biting into delicate baby ribs. First, don't eat the bread -- or, if you must, avoid eating more than one slice. It's a…
More >>
Best Sandwich
Salvato's Café
The sign outside reads, "World's Best Sandwich." That may be a stretch -- we've heard tell of a cozy bistro on the Champs Elysée that's pretty hot. But as far as St. Louis goes, Salvato's Café has, by far, the best of all possible sandwiches. Corned beef. Pastrami. Chicken salad. Salmon, either fillet or lox. You name it, Salvato's has got…
More >>
Best Place for a Kid's Birthday Party
Magic House
Anyone who's ever arranged and hosted a kiddie birthday party knows that keeping the little urchins together in one location is about as easy as corralling cats. Hopped up on cake and Kool-Aid, the kids quickly break ranks and head out of sight in about ten different directions. If you've got a group of five-year-olds, it's unnerving -- which is…
More >>
Best Chef
David Guempel, Zinnia
Many a home cook daydreams of trading in coat and tie for clogs and toque. But when it comes down to brass tacks, few are willing to tolerate the fatigue, the late nights, the heat, the urgency and the imperative of unflagging creativity. Add to that the demands of running a business, and you've got a built-in winnowing process. Of…
More >>
Best Falafel
Kabob International
Unless you count manna -- which is sort of in short supply these days --falafel is possibly civilization's oldest food. The durability of the friendly Middle Eastern chickpea croquette is no accident; if there is a sensation more satisfying than biting into a hot, crispy ball of falafel, e-mail us. Meanwhile, we'll continue to scour the city searching for more…
More >>
Best Health-Food Store
Natural Way
St. Louis has been inundated by "lifestyle" stores, those big boxes where you can take a class on bleu cheese, purchase yoga accessories, sip wine and listen to live music. What the hell ever happened to the crunchy health-food store, the place you went to buy organic tofu, bulk local honey and megadose vitamins? Sure, you can buy these things…
More >>
Best Family-Friendly Restaurant
Romano's Macaroni Grill
For child-free couples, picking a restaurant can be difficult because there are just so many choices: Should you go for ethnic, exotic, trendy? For families, though, the field is pretty narrow: Will this restaurant satisfy tender young taste buds that don't yet appreciate tangy, spicy or interesting flavors? Is it loud enough that if a kid pitches a fit, other…
More >>
Best Mexican
El Vaquero
Although St. Louis has a modest Mexican population and a number of popular restaurants of that ethnic persuasion, this is a tough town in which to find truly great renditions of all your Mexican favorites under one roof. To satisfy a refried craving, you have to hunt and peck -- this place for pollo en mole, that place for killer…
More >>
Best Place to Conjure Your Spirit Animal
Kaldi's Coffee House & Market Bakery
The night is cold. You sweep into Kaldi's and close the door behind you, sealing out the frigid winter. Breathlessly, you order it: the white-chocolate cocoa. You wait several minutes, pacing, looking around at nothing, needing the fix. It is ready. You take the hot glass. You make your way past the students and trendoids to your corner. You take…
More >>
Best Weekend Brunch
Brunch -- the mysterious meal between the breakfast dessert and the lunch appetizer, the bridge that connects the morning's gluttony with the noon's regret and invites the afternoon's foreboding. And yet, for all its glory, the eternal St. Louis unanswerable: Why the hell is it so hard to get a decent goddamn brunch here? Yeah, there are OK places, but…

As the region grows, ethnic stores sprout throughout the city. One underappreciated gem of the scene is La Tropicana.

MIAMI, FL -- LeBron James scored 32 points and finished one assist shy of a triple-double, Dwyane Wade scored 27 and the Miami Heat rallied both early and late before beating the Dallas Mavericks 119-109 in overtime on Wednesday night.
Chris Bosh scored 17 points and Ray Allen added 15 for Miami, which extended its Eastern Conference-leading record to 22-8. The Heat trailed by 12 in the opening minutes, and then dug their way out of a six-point hole in the final 3:02 of regulation.
James had 12 rebounds and nine assists for the Heat, who wound up going on what became a 16-3 run late, including 7-0 to start overtime.
O.J. Mayo scored 30 and Dirk Nowitzki - still working his way back from knee surgery - added 19 in 29 minutes for the Mavericks, who fell to 0-6 in overtime this season.
Vince Carter had 15 points, Chris Kaman scored 14 and Darren Collison finished with 11 for the Mavericks.

COLBERT COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – Imagine looking out your window and seeing trailers, farm equipment and what you believe is scrap metal. It's the reality for a man in Colbert Heights. He calls it dangerous junk. Jeff Stowe emailed WHNT NEWS 19 asking for help to find a solution.
Stowe first took his concerns to Colbert County officials. He claims the person who's collecting all of it doesn't care how it looks. Stowe calls it disgusting. He wants Colbert County leaders to make the owner of all that stuff clean it up or at least contain it all. But, there's a problem.
Stowe has enjoyed living in Colbert Heights nearly 40 years.
"My parents moved up here when I was a kid. I just like it up here," said Stowe.
He started to see things differently when a neighbor moved in a few years ago. Stowe says that neighbor brought in what he calls junk.
"It's just progressed, gotten worse and worse," added Stowe.
Stowe doesn't like living next to mounds of dirt, piles of scrap metal or whatever is lying around.
"I mean, it might help if he would just try to bunch it up together instead of spreading it out over the whole property," added Stowe.
Stowe ended up seeking help from a Colbert County Commissioner.
"The commissioner said he can't do nothing about it. His hands are tied," added Stowe.
He did not want to give up.
"I've seen you help people in the past. I thought well, I will give that an option. If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to do," added Stowe.
WHNT NEWS 19 called George Kimbrough. He's the county's Junk Enforcement Officer.
"I did two years' worth of work on this case. Their big problem is they live under high power electrical lines," said Kimbrough.
Stowe, who's considering putting up his home for sale, wants Kimbrough to work some more.
"Who would want to buy it with all this garbage up here? I mean, he has just brought the neighborhood property values down because of the way it looks," added Stowe.
Stowe told WHNT NEWS 19 someone with the Tennessee Valley Authority visited the property a couple of months ago and cut down some trees. Stowe says that person was concerned about these power lines touching those trees. Now, those power lines are gone, but TVA's concern remains. They now wonder if those lines will sag onto those trailers parked on the property.
Kimbrough told WHNT NEWS 19 those lines are keeping commissioners from enforcing anything. Benjamin Hand owns the property under the lines. He runs a backhoe service on the property.
"Everything on his property is of value. Of course, I am like you, I don't like the way it looks. But, TVA will not let him build a fence to hide it," added Kimbrough.
WHNT NEWS 19 did more digging into this story by contacting TVA. A TVA spokesman told WHNT NEWS 19 property owners with TVA transmission easements can build a fence, so long as they let TVA review the plans to ensure crews will have access.
The spokesman said Hand's property does not violate any TVA rules. It appears Stowe has to install a fence if he wants to no longer see the property.

AJEE Online
The Australasian Journal of Engineering Education (AJEE) has had something of a
hiatus in recent years, and this is the first issue of our revived online format. This
issue showcases the best papers from our annual conference held in Auckland in
December last year. The conference was a great success, bringing together
engineering educators from Australia, New Zealand and all around the world.
As part of the peer review process for the conference, the reviewers were asked to
nominate any papers they consider candidates for the conference's Best Paper Award.
These candidates were then subjected to a further review process and invited to be
submitted for publication here in the AJEE.
This issue comprises the five candidate papers, including the winner of the Best Paper
Award, Sheryl Sorby's paper "Developing 3D spatial skills for engineering students".
The papers address a range of issues, considering the educational needs of engineers
before, during and after their time at university. The papers each make a valuable
contribution that addresses an important need in the engineering education field.
The AJEE will now be published in two issues each year. The first issue will comprise
the best papers from the annual AAEE conference, which are then subjected to an
additional peer review process to ensure that they meet our journal's standards. This
issue will be published early in the year.
The second issue each year will take contributions from all aspects of engineering
education, both research and practice. We will be capitalising on the online nature of
the journal, allowing us to publish papers as soon as they have completed the (DESTcompliant)
review process, rather than delaying them for a synchronous release. We
are now looking for contributions for our second issue for 2007.
The journal is run using the Engineers Australia Technical Journals Editorial Manager
online paper submission and tracking system. Submissions can be made via the
website at http://www.editorialmanager.com/eatj. We welcome manuscripts,
volunteers to be reviewers, suggestions for special issues, and any and all suggestions
on how to make our journal better serve the engineering education community are
welcome. You can reach the editors via email at email@example.com.

|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Tamachi (田町?) is the informal name for the area surrounding Tamachi Station in Minato, Tokyo, generally referring to the districts of Shiba, Shibaura and Mita. The name, meaning literally "field town", probably derives from the earlier presence of rice paddies.
During the Edo period Tamachi was a hatamoto residential quarter. Rice cultivation did not begin in the area until the Meiji period. Today the area is entirely urbanized.
The headquarters of several major companies and organisations are located in this area, including Nippon Kinzoku, Morinaga[disambiguation needed] and NEC. Also in this area is Tokyo International School. The landmark Rainbow Bridge can be accessed on foot, 15 minutes walk from Tamachi station crossing some scenic canals in the process.
Tamachi in fiction[edit]
In the anime series Digimon Adventure 02, Tamachi is the home of the boy genius Ken Ichijouji.

The story of voters in this region revolves around drought, farm loans, migration and dacoits; villagers threaten to exercise the NOTA option
Piyariya Devi, 60, was staring at the prospect of starvation when she suddenly collapsed last week. Her crop had been destroyed in the hailstorm; she owed Rs 10,000 to a private moneylender and was nursing her bed-ridden son. Her husband and other son have found no work in the past year.
She could not cope with the pressure and ostensibly died of a cardiac attack.
This took place in Narani block of Bundelkhand's Banda district, where such deaths and farmer suicides have become common. Statistics suggest a little over 2,000 farmers lost their lives in the past eight years in this region of Uttar Pradesh that has seven districts - Banda, Jhansi, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Chitrakoot, Lalitpur and Mahoba. The first four districts are organised into parliamentary constituencies, which encompass the other three. The region recorded 1,351 deaths during 2007-2010.
"Farmers were still recouping from the impact of severe drought of 2005-2009. They were hopeful of a bumper crop when heavy rains and hailstorm ruined everything this February," says Prem Singh, a prominent farmer face and activist in Banda. "Most are now under debt from either banks or moneylenders."
After Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi's visit to the region in 2008, the central government had announced a special financial package of Rs 7,266 crore, of which Rs 3,506 crore were meant for UP and the rest for the six Bundelkhand districts in Madhya Pradesh. "Madhya Pradesh used the money efficiently. But Uttar Pradesh lost it to greedy politicians and corrupt bureaucrats. It was like vultures picking the remaining bones," says Abdul Rasheed Siddiqui, bureau chief of the Amar Ujala newspaper in Banda.
Siddiqui's newspaper reported on March 11 that despite the financial package, a little more than 31,000 farmers owed Rs 280 crore to rural banks and another 18,000 had borrowed Rs 150 crore under the Kisan Credit Card scheme. Around 8,000 are supposed to repay combined loans of Rs 30 crore for farm equipment and 13,000 had taken a debt of Rs 20 crore for cattle farming.
Laxmi Pal Movai, a farmer on the outskirts of Chitrakoot, says more than private moneylenders, people fear loan repayment pressure from banks. "The interest rate is fixed at five per cent with moneylenders. But banks charge compound interest if we fail to pay on time; it is then followed by a notice to sell our land and property," he says. He had to arrange money from relatives and other avenues to pay the bank.
The banks are preparing to send fresh notices to some 400 farmers to recover dues following the conclusion of elections on May 16. The collective fallout has resulted in people postponing marriages of their daughters and new purchases.

Everybody needs to eat, especially those that are walking for miles each day at the SHOT Show. You'll need to re-fuel at some point.
Here are a few options for attendees looking to grab a bite to eat during show hours:
The Palazzo and Venetian: Don't forget that the Sands Expo is connected to both the Venetian and Palazzo hotels. Both offer a ton of amazing dining options. For example, the Grand Luxe Cafe, owned by The Cheesecake Factory, is open 24 hours and the food is great. If you're looking for the character of a neighborhood diner, minus the kitsch, FIRST Food & Bar is located in the Shoppes at the Palazzo. Another great option is Cafe Presse, which has a convenient location in the Venetian corridor. Click here to see all the casual dining options at both hotels.
NSSF Member Lounge: Yet another perk for members of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the NSSF Member Lounge (sponsored by GunBroker.com) is located in the Lido Ballroom on Level 3 of the Venetian. It's a convenient place for members to sit down for lunch and take a break from the show floor.
Convention Center: For those that don't want to stray too far from the show floor, there are a number of places to eat within the convention center area.
The SHOT Show website also lists contact details for complimentary concierge services that are available to you both in advance and onsite.

Get involved: CYCLING - TRACK
Four years ago in Beijing, the velodrome was paved with gold for Great Britain's cyclists - and expectations will be high for a repeat performance in London.
Hugh Porter, BBC Sport
"It is incredible to see the speed the athletes reach on the steep banking in the velodrome. The keirin is particularly exciting, as the athletes build speed steadily behind a motorbike. For Team GB, Sir Chris Hoy is out to win more gold medals. A young British star who should win the hearts of the crowd is Laura Trott. She is a very gutsy endurance rider and could win two gold medals. It will be intriguing to watch the next episode of the battle between Victoria Pendleton and Australian Anna Meares, while Frenchman Gregory Bauge will present a massive challenge to the British men in the sprint events."
Riders such as Victoria Pendleton and Sir Chris Hoy have emerged as household names on the back of their exploits charging around the banked oval track at speeds approaching 50mph.
A lot has changed in the interim, with new restraints being imposed on the use of technology, including the banning of the plasticised skinsuits worn so successfully by Team GB.
Each nation has been limited to one participant in individual events - Great Britain multi-medalled in four of the 10 events in Beijing - and five of the 10 disciplines on show have been changed to give parity to the men and women competing.
The cyclists at the velodrome in the Olympic Park will now compete in the sprint, team sprint, keirin (where riders follow a motorcycle and build up to a sprint finish), team pursuit and omnium (a six-discipline event which is like the decathlon in athletics).
Why is it good for you?
Track racing is an exciting and physically demanding sport, with an hour-long session likely to burn approximately 782 calories per hour.
The strain of keeping the bike in motion at speed increases the heart rate, lowers blood pressure and improves endurance.
As the thigh, calf and hip muscles are in constant use, it is an effective way to help build lower-body strength.
Unlike other high-energy sports, bike riding has a much lower risk of injury as there is none of the physical contact between athletes found in football or rugby, while it is much gentler on the knee and ankle joints than long-distance running.
Biking does not only have to be done as a sport. A study by the International Bicycle Fund found commuters who begin to ride their bicycles to and from work instead of driving lose an average of 13 pounds during their first year of biking.
As training for track racing is often team-based pursuit, it is an excellent way to develop communication skills and learn to work effectively with other people.
Clubs also offer a variety of social events beyond just riding.
Get involved
Approximately two million people in Britain cycle at least once a week, and there are more than 80,000 members of cycling clubs.
Before taking to the course, it is essential to wear safety equipment such as a helmet, cycling gloves and elbow and knee pads. If you are riding on public roads, it is important to wear high visibility gear.
Can you compete?
Get your performance under pressure analysed in just 20 minutes by four-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson
It is further recommended that a long sleeved top be worn for added protection.
Some clubs allow members to hire bikes and helmets. A decent starter track bike costs around £300, and it is important to buy a track bike as mountain, road and hybrid BMX bikes are ill-suited to ride on velodrome circuits.
Training days and taster schemes are run for people of all ages and abilities throughout the year. Visit the British Cycling, Cycling Ireland, Scottish Cycling and Welsh Cycling websites for more information.
For regional and national events, membership of British Cycling or Cycling Ireland is required. There are a number of bands related to how regularly you wish to compete.
Small fees are often required to take part in the 3,000+ cycling meets held annually throughout the country.
For parents looking to get their children started in competitive racing, British Cycling are running a number of events for under-16s throughout the United Kingdom this year. Visit the 'Go-Ride Racing' website for more details.
Sky Ride are offering free cycling events across the country throughout the summer. Their website also contains information about where you can find your nearest cycling route.
Fun, free and informal bike rides just for women are also available through Sky Ride's Breeze scheme.

The competition format at London 2012
- From Thursday 2 August to Tuesday 7 August, 188 athletes (104 men, 84 women) will compete at the Velodrome in the Olympic Park.
- Both team events will feature 10 nations in both the men's and women's competitions. Men's teams have four riders in the pursuit and three in the sprint; women's teams have three riders in the pursuit and two in the sprint.
- The team sprint and team pursuit events both feature a qualifying round and a competition round before the medal races.
- In the individual sprint, the 18 riders compete in a seeding event before entering a knockout competition, which concludes with the winners of the two semi-finals racing to decide the gold medal and the losers of the two semi-finals racing to decide the bronze medal.
- In the keirin, there will be three heats of six riders in which the first two in each qualify for the semi-finals. For those who fail to qualify, there will be two repechages, from which the first three riders in each repechage will reach the semi-final.
- The first three riders in each of the semi-finals will reach the final, in which the first athlete to cross the finish line wins the gold medal and so on.
- The omnium, which is held over two days, features six separate disciplines: flying lap, points race, elimination race, individual pursuit, scratch race and time trial.
- There will be 18 riders in both the men's and women's competition. The winner of each discipline scores one point, the second-placed rider two points, and so on, with the gold medal winner being the rider with the fewest points after the six events.
More on the London 2012 website
The rules at London 2012
In both team events, the teams start on opposing sides of the track and, in case of a tie, the team with the fastest time over the last lap (or a previous lap if the last lap time is the same) will be declared the winner.
In the team pursuit, the winner is whichever team catches the other team, or records the fastest time over the full distance of the race.
The men's race takes place over 4km and the women's race takes place over 3km.
In the team sprint, each rider in a team must lead for a lap. The first rider leads for the first lap, then leaves the track, allowing the second-placed rider to lead.
Great Olympic moment
Chris Boardman went from being an unemployed carpenter to a world-record beating Olympic legend at the Barcelona Games in 1992. Thanks in part to the revolutionary bike co-designed by sportscar manufacturers Lotus, he stormed to victory against world champion Jens Lehmann in the 4,000m pursuit final.
In the men's race, this happens again in the third lap. At the end of the race, just one rider from each team is left on the track.
In the individual sprint, two riders go head-to-head over three laps with the fastest progressing to the next round.
The competition starts with a 200m flying start (a time trial beginning with 2½ build-up laps), which establishes the seeding for the event.
Thereafter, riders go head-to-head in a knockout format. Up to the quarter-finals, losing riders get another chance to progress through a repechage.
From the quarter-finals onwards, races are the best-of-three.
The keirin is an eight-lap event, in which riders follow a moped which gradually increases in speed from 30kph to 50kph for the men and 25kph to 45kph for the women, which it reaches with four laps of the track to go. The moped leaves the track with 2½ laps to go, leaving the riders to battle it out over a sprint finish.
The flying lap event in the omnium sees the athletes steadily gain pace for 2½ laps before the final 250m lap is timed. In the points race, final placings are decided according to accumulated points won by riders during mid-race sprints.
In the elimination race, sprints are held on every other lap and the last sprinter to cross the finishing line is eliminated until one rider remains.
In the scratch race a straight race is held over 15km for men, and 10km for women. In the time trial, two riders compete against each to register the fastest time over over 1km for the men and 500m for the women.
In all events, times are measured to 1/1,000th of a second.
Ones to watch
Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton are the king and queen of British track cycling, while Laura Trott seems destined to be one of the faces of these Games.
Australian darling - and Pendleton's arch-rival - Anna Meares and French powerhouse Gregory Bauge will be hard to beat in the sprints.
Jack Bobridge will spearhead Australia's men's team pursuit team, who are still smarting from their defeat to GB at the World Championships earlier this year.
Track cycling was first established in Great Britain in the 1870s when wooden indoor tracks, consisting of two straights and slightly banked turns, were laid.
The sport proved a popular attraction and early races at venues in Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester and London attracted crowds of up to 2,000 people.
Track cycling events have been organised at all the editions of the Olympics since 1896, with the only exception being the 1912 Games in Stockholm, when only the road race was staged.
Did you know?
Track bikes have no brakes: riders stop by putting pressure on the pedals.
Between 1924 and 1992, the range of events at the Olympics were usually a sprint, time trial over one kilometre, tandem and team pursuit. The individual pursuit was added in the 1964 Olympic in Tokyo, and the tandem was dropped after the 1972 Games in Munich.
Women first competed in a sprint track event in 1988, and the individual pursuit was added in Barcelona four years later.
In February 2011, the Velodrome became the first competition venue in the Olympic Park to be completed.

CONCORD, N.C. — The tougher the conditions, the better for Jimmie Johnson.
It's why the five-time NASCAR champion is excited to race with the new Gen-6 Chevy SS race car this season. Johnson pointed out the last time NASCAR debuted a new car in the Sprint Cup Series, the "Car of Tomorrow," he had unparalleled success.
"The more difficult the cars are to drive, the more difficult the tracks are from a design standpoint, the better I do," Johnson said at the 31st annual NASCAR Sprint Cup Media Tour. "I think that goes back to my off-road roots. You couldn't adjust an off-road truck. You just worried about jumping, going straight and then turn at the end of the jumps to go back the other way.
"I think that's helped me with weird handling cars and tracks people don't like. It might not fit my driving style, but when I look back to the Monte Carlo era and we had all the downforce, we were able to succeed. I know it's in me somewhere. I might have to dust it off to find it again."
The new car is narrower and 150 pounds lighter, which makes it easier to drive according to Johnson. While the "Car of Tomorrow" was a big box, busting through the wind, this new machine is more streamlined.
"The aero balance is more forgiving. That's NASCAR's intent to give us more side-by-side racing," said the driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet. "The car is more comfortable with all the downforce. The back of the car, the geometry of the car is much different than before. All in all, it's a different car, but I feel really comfortable in it."
Johnson, one of only eight drivers in NASCAR history with 60 or more Sprint Cup wins, hasn't always been comfortable the last few years. He racked up five straight championships from 2006-10, but didn't realize how tough it was on himself and the rest of the team until it was over.
"I feel through the five years there was some pressure on me I didn't know until the streak ended," he said. "That 2011 season, we didn't have the performance we hoped for in the Chase, so that put pressure on us last year. But starting this year, I feel good. I'm excited with a clear mind. I'm not worried about a streak, just ready to go. We've got a lot of good things going on. I have no baggage, just ready to go racing."
Johnson lost the 2012 championship after leading with two races to go and finished third in the standings after poor finishes at Phoenix and Homestead. Still, the five-time champion is not discouraged. He liked the fact his team won five races, which tied him with champion Brad Keselowski and Denny Hamlin for most in the series last season.
"Unfortunately we don't have the big trophy to show for it, but we had a great year," Johnson said. "I beat myself up over 2011 because we weren't even contenders. That hurt more than being at Homestead and it not playing out. All I want to is to have a shot, to be competitive and be in the mix. As a driver, that's all you can ask for."

On one hand, he will have an alternative to the unpredictable and unreliable talents of Fernando Torres. The Spaniard has been unable to show any consistent form this season and it will be a welcome option for Benitez to have Ba at his disposal as an alternative up front.
Yet how will Ba really fit in? It is difficult to see how the player could play in the same team as Torres. Neither really work in any position other than that of the central striker, and you can be sure Benitez will not do as Ancelotti once did and try to accommodate two centre forwards by changing his system. Ba does not work so well out on the wing, because as he has put it, he does not like tracking back and doing the dull defensive work required of wide players in a 4-3-3. And Torres struggled when playing alongside Didier Drogba during the aforementioned experiment under Ancelotti.
Both players look to dominate the same areas, and Chelsea have enough problems as it is trying to get width into their play. Therefore Benitez will likely rotate. That will be interesting in itself, to see what effect it has. Torres has never thrived when being rotated, and it is a role he has only really had to play during his time at Chelsea. Both at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool he was the unquestioned number one up front, and thrived. At Chelsea, he has not done well in a team where he has not always been featuring on a weekly basis. Which means either Benitez has to risk trying this again or gamble on Ba, who may himself not enjoy the same level of form coming in from the sidelines too often.
If that does happen, even more pressure will be on Torres than there is already. Right now he is struggling to find consistent form without any pressure on him for his place. With a new forward breathing down his neck Torres will find the pressure intensifying and his ability to rise to that pressure will be severely tested.
For Ba, this is clearly a risk. The world knows of his degenerative knee injury and he needs to presumably play as much as possible to make the most of what is left of his career. It is reasonable to assume he won't still be playing the game when most strikers are, around the age of 35. So Ba must make sure this one big move for him works out well. This may be the only chance he has to feature for a truly big team during his career. Thing is, this might be the last time Torres has that opportunity too.

Albóndigas al chipotle
Serves 8 to 10
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2 pounds ripe tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons white onion, chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, or to taste
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, optional
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chicken broth
2 to 3 fresh cilantro sprigs, or to taste
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat with the eggs, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spatula.
Place tomatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; simmer over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until cooked through and mushy.
In a blender, add the cooked tomatoes along with 1/4 cup of their cooking liquid, 2 garlic cloves, white onion, the sauce from the chipotle chiles in adobo and, if desired, one whole seeded chipotle chile. Purée until smooth.
Pour the oil into a large soup pot and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour in the puréed tomato mix. It will sizzle and jump, that is ok! Let it simmer, with the lid ajar, anywhere from 6 to 8 minutes, or until it has changed its color to a deeper red, thickened in consistency and lost its raw flavor. Add the chicken broth and salt to taste and reduce heat to medium low.
Place a small mixing bowl with water to the side of the soup pot with the simmering tomato broth. Wet your hands and start to make the meatballs, one by one. They should be anywhere from 1 to 2". Gently place the meatballs in the simmering tomato broth.
Once you have shaped all the meatballs, add the cilantro sprigs to the pot, then simmer over medium-low heat for 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve hot with a side of avocado slices avocado, some warm corn tortillas and, if desired, frijoles de olla or white rice and plantains.
Wow what a great dish for my family. I served it with your white rice without the plantains.arkansaskae | October 7, 2012 3:53 PM
Hola Arkansaskae, I'm so glad to hear your family enjoyed the meatballs!Pati Jinich replied to comment from arkansaskae | October 17, 2012 12:21 PM
These were delicious and the rice was sooooo good! My family and I love your show and we love learning new Mexican dishes to try. My son requested a Mexican/Star Wars theme party for his birthday next year and my mom and I can't wait to use your recipes!Kristin | October 19, 2012 6:53 PM
I made the meatballs in Chipotle sauce. I forgot to add the broth. But they were still great! The rice and Fried plantains are wonderful also. I never would have thought to add the pepper, but I tried it. great not too spicy just more flavor. Thank you.Mary Helen | November 3, 2012 11:56 AM
Kristin, Thank you so much for watching and writing! Good luck with the birthday party. My youngest son, Juju, requested a Star Wars party too.Pati Jinich replied to comment from Kristin | November 5, 2012 4:53 PM
I have just discovered you on my local PBS station and I love, love,love your receipes.
I am of Mexican descent and am always looking for new ways to prepare tasty Mexican food. My family's dishes have more of a Mex-Tex style to them, delicious on their own right but I wanted something authentic that did not require hours of preparation.
I tried the meatballs in tomatoe sauce and my family loved them. It was so easy to prepare. I prepared the dish one day before serving and it was delicious.
I also tried your meithod of making white rice WITH the lime juice. I did not fry the plantains.
Again, delicious. What a marvelous taste and the rice did not stick - yea.
Thank you. Looking forward to your book in March.
How long do I simmer if I use ground chicken? ThanksSally | November 10, 2012 5:53 PM
Hola Maria, I'm so happy you took the time to write me! It is so great hearing about your experience sharing the meatballs and rice and plantains with your family. I hope you will find some more recipes that they all enjoy. Please, please do get my cookbook!Pati Jinich replied to comment from maria | November 15, 2012 3:56 PM
Hola Sally, The ground chicken will cook in the same amount of time. Simmer for 25-30 min.Pati Jinich replied to comment from Sally | November 29, 2012 1:25 PM
I have made this twice and the outcome has so many options. Subs, horderves, pasta with the meatballs and sauce, or then when the meatballs are gone then on pasta. I enjoy the spice, so I added more than the base recipe. I enjoy recipes that incorporate ingredients that tend to be on hand and really I just had to seek out the chiles in adobo sauce. Bringing this to a holiday party to warm everyone up here in Vermont.Mark | December 18, 2012 9:44 PM

The character was last seen onscreen in 2006, though she was still sporadically mentioned as being in town all the way up to 2007. She then left town after Blake woke up from her coma, spent time with her own mother before she passed on, toured around Europe and spent some time in Toronto. What brings her back, and why, isn't certain but considering who intimately she has touched so many lives in Springfield, for good and bad, it's sure to be an exciting event.
Soaps.com is happy to welcome her back! Look for her to make her first appearance on August 26.

Several Grand Theft Auto V gameplay footages have been leaked on Vine and Instagram by user Jsticks11 – from the car wash to the in-game phone to a tennis game. Following the leaks, Microsoft found out his Xbox 360 Gamertag and has since banned his account.
Aside from gameplay footage, a 15-minute cartoon from GTA V titled Impotent Rage has also been leaked. It was previously revealed that the game will feature a variety of different in-game TV channels including CNT and Weazel TV.

I read two reviews of "Naked"--both panned the ballet by saying that the choreography was the fault, not the dancing. Has anyone seen it? I would love to hear your thoughts.

I would have loved to see it when it premiered at Sadler's Wells, but didn't get a chance to. I also read the not-so-great reviews. We can, apparently, buy a DVD of the performance from their web site.

'Warnock in' I hear you say. Is that who the Leeds United fans really want? He may have an excellent record in getting teams promoted out of the lower divisions, however his record in the EPL is not good enough.His time at Sheffield United ended in tears, regardless of the Carlos Tevez affair. Overall the Blunts were not strong enough over the thirty-eight games and his ex employees QPR are hovering above the relegation zone half way through the season.
When he left the Blades he relocated to his summer residence in Cornwall and was quoted as saying he would have one more crack at management. Crystal Palace came knocking and he took the reins at Selhurst Park. During his time at Palace, Warnock was adamant the Palace job would be his last in football but the lure of a sleeping mega rich club QPR came calling and the rest they say is history.
Many Leeds fans wanting Grayson axed and Warnock in seem to have short term memories. He was a hate figure at Elland Road and I remember his unprofessional attitude on the side of the pitch after thumping Kevin Blackwell's Leeds United Four – Nil. He was the pantomime villain that evening and as a diehard Blade fan he has never shied away from expressing his loathe for Leeds United.
Another reason why Neil Warnock would not be welcomed at Elland Road is the fact that he is not shy on bringing unwanted attention to himself, the club and his players. I'm sorry but we already have an outspoken figure at Leeds United and as we are all aware he also isn't one to shy away from unnecessary controversy.
We've always been behind Simon Grayson here at Right in the Gary Kelly's and will continue to do so. We don't believe in calling for a manager's head at the first time in his three years at the club we are going through a mini crisis.
Let's take into consideration what Simon Grayson has achieved at the club and what resources he has had to work from. Can you honestly sit there and say the manager needs to go? If anything Grayson should be assessed at the end of the season. If his time has come then so be it but the appointment of Neil Warnock to Leeds United is not the answer.

John Isner is looking forward to playing Kevin Anderson in the final of the Atlanta Open after edging to a thrilling semi-final victory against Lleyton Hewitt.
The American moved into his third Atlanta Open final in four years - he was beaten by Mardy Fish in both 2010 and 2011 - with a nail-biting 6-4 4-6 7-6 victory over former Wimbledon champion Hewitt.
We've been playing each other for many years now and each time it's been a close match.Kevin Anderson
We've been playing each other for many years now and each time it's been a close match.
Meanwhile, South African Kevin Anderson fired down 14 aces on his way to beating Ryan Harrison 6-3 7-6 to set up what will be the tallest final in ATP World Tour history.
"I thought I played very well," Isner said after gaining revenge over Hewitt, who beat him in the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships earlier this month.
"It's a case where I'm getting more comfortable, now that it's my third match out there. I was able to go for my shots more in this match than I was in my previous matches."
Sunday's final will be Isner's 14th of his career on the ATP World Tour and he can be backed at 2.75 to win the match in straight sets while Anderson is available at 4.50 to come out on top in three sets.
"We've been playing each other for many years now and each time it's been a close match," said Anderson of his match against Isner.
"I'll have to go out there and take care of my service games and try to create chances. I'll need to be patient and go into tie-breaks if necessary."

This was my inspiration for my bridesmaid dresses, and I am PRETTY thrilled because they look similar and are going to be fabulous!! Hot pink with a black bow, from Alfred Angelo!
Some other things that I have accomplished: we decided on and ordered our wedding invitations. They should be in sometime in the next two weeks! : ) (Get ready to tie some bows, friends!) We also booked a hotel for our wedding night, the Hilton in downtown Shreveport! It is going to be SO wonderful and I am thrilled that we finally made a decision about it! Not that we will be there for long, since we probably won't get there until 10 pm and we are going to have to leave for the airport around 4 am. Oh, joy! We also have finalized our guest list and made appointments for our cake, engagement pictures, and my bridal pictures! We decided on our first dance song, but I must keep it a secret at this time! ; ) In June, we have several things to accomplish: we meet with the baker about our cake, we shoot our "Love Story" video, and we plan to go and register for some goodies! Justin can't hardly wait...haha! I can't wait to marry that sweet boy!
I have been able to do some very fun things this past month! I love having a job that allows me to go on trips and spend time with my family and friends!! One of the MAJOR events that we attended was Miss Savannah Grace's first birthday party!!
We got there early...and poor Justin had to work like a slave!
The birthday princess enjoying her birthday cake!
I also finally got to meet the precious Jackson!
This is Savannah busting a move on her birthday! (Thanks to Shan's teaching, I'm sure!)
This is why there is always a piece of my heart in Pineville! : )
We also went to Shan's graduation party! So proud of my sweet Shanny girl for graduating from LC!! You are absolutely amazing my friend! There has never been a woman with as BIG of a heart as my wonderful Shanny!
We also went to Caddo Lake for Justin's SURPRISE birthday weekend present! We got to explore the town of Jefferson and go on a fishing trip! It was SO much fun!
Blowing out his birthday candles! (He didn't want a cake, promise!)
Us at 6 am getting ready to go fishing!
Beautiful Caddo Lake! It was stunning!
Happy birthday to my sweet love bunny!
We also got to go on a trip to Hot Springs, AR with some of Justin's friends...who are truly quite amazing! We had SO much fun! We went shopping, golfing, and to Magic Springs Amusement Park! It was wonderful and we can't wait to go back!
Showing Justin how to golf : )
Okay, okay...he beat me by ONE stroke!
Out to eat!
Boys will ALWAYS be boys!
I also got to go to Bayou Country Superfest with my bff's Alyse and Candy, but for some reason those pictures won't upload, so I'm gonna take that as my cue to go to bed! Hope you ALL have a wonderful day tomorrow!! I PRAISE MY LORD JESUS for His many blessings in my life: my family, my friends, my fiance', my health, my job, my puppies, and my spirituality!
