Transcript:How to Make General Tso's ChickenHi, I'm Gina Miller with About.com Food and I am making a sweet and spicy deep-fried Chinese chicken dish that is popular in many restaurants: General Tso's chicken.
Now we're not sure if there was really a General Tso, but this dish is believed to have been introduced to New York City in the early 1970s. There are three steps in making General Tso's Chicken: creating the sauce, deep frying the chicken and finally cooking the entire dish in a wok.
Make the Sauce for the General Tso's ChickenFirst we'll make the sauce. Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup hot chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt, no MSG
Stir all of the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves.Then refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Deep-Fry the Chicken to Make General Tso's ChickenOK, step 2 -- frying the chicken. Here are the ingredients you'll need:
- 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, uncooked, cleaned and cut into bite size pieces
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup of soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon of ground pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 4 cups of vegetable oil (for the deep fryer)
Divide chicken into small quantities and deep fry in 4 cups of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or deep fryer at 350 degrees F until crispy. Drain the chicken on paper towels.
Cook Everything Together to Make General Tso's ChickenAnd finally we'll cook everything in the wok, but there are a couple more ingredients you'll need:
- 3 Tablespoons of toasted sesame oil
- 2 cups of chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup of red chili pepper paste
Ok, now let's add the green onions and the red chili pepper sauce, then stir-fry briefly. Reduce heat to medium. Now remove the sauce from the refrigerator, stir and add the sauce to the heated wok.
Reduce the head to low and add the fried chicken and cook until the sauce thickens and all the flavors are combined, usually 5 minutes. Serve with brown or white steamed rice. This is a really delicious dish and your family and friends will be impressed.

Ospreys wing Hanno Dirksen turns to plumbing studies to fix injury frustration
Posted: April 05, 2013|
AS one of the most potent attacking weapons in the regional game, Hanno Dirksen is more used to exploiting leaks than fixing them.
But life as a trainee plumber has proven a welcome distraction for the Ospreys winger as he continues his recovery from a long-term knee injury.
Dirksen has already shown he has the tools for the job in professional rugby, having been one of the stars of the region's Pro12 title-winning campaign last term.
However, the 22-year-old has been out of action since November after undergoing surgery to repair a cartilage problem in his right knee.
His time on the sidelines has been well spent.
And while his colleagues have been working on putting together a defence of their league crown at their Llandarcy base, down the road at Neath Port Talbot College, Dirksen has been getting stuck into his studies.
"It's been frustrating in terms of me not being able to play rugby, obviously, but having a few months away from rugby has allowed me to catch up on my time in college so it hasn't been all bad," he said.
"I'm a young man and a pro rugby player. That's what I'm paid to do and it's what I want to do so anything that stops me doing that isn't nice.
"But it's been a good period for me away from rugby if I'm honest about it.
"When you are playing every week, training all week and then a game on the weekend, travelling a lot as well, it can be difficult to balance everything and to give the time you need to college.
"I haven't been able to do some of the tests like all the other boys in the class so while I'm disappointed at not being able to play rugby I haven't wasted the time since my operation.
"It's a good use of my time which has stopped me getting too frustrated and allowed me to take some steps towards preparing for after my playing days.
"Maybe you don't think about that too much as a young player, but when you are sitting out the rugby with injury it makes you think about the future a bit more. It's only a short career as a rugby player so it's important to have something to fall back on."
Dirksen's strong-running and eye for the try-line has been missed by an Ospreys side who have also had to make do without the fleet-footed Eli Walker since the middle of January.
It has meant Steve Tandy pushing scrum-half Tom Habberfield and the versatile Tom Isaacs into emergency wing cover, while centre Ben John and another converted No. 9 Tom Grabham have also been used.
The good news for the Ospreys and Dirksen is that the recovery is progressing well and after ditching the crutches he is on course to return to full training when pre-season begins in the summer.
"I came off the crutches two weeks ago so it's nice to be walking around properly again and trying to get the muscles back in my leg," he added.
"Hopefully, I can start running again in about three or four weeks.
"I've been watching what I'm eating and the conditioners are setting me a programme to work to that should mean I'm in decent shape. I've just got to get the lungs working again, start running again, which will be a test.
"I've got to know the physios a lot better than maybe I ever wanted to, but they've been very good to me and they certainly help you along the way.
"Hopefully they'll pull me through the next difficult stage of rehab to get me ready for a full pre-season and the yo-yo tests. That'll be fun!"

(Pleural Tap, Pleural Fluid Analysis)
Procedure Overview
What is thoracentesis and pleural fluid analysis?
Thoracentesis is a procedure in which a needle is inserted through the back of the chest wall into the pleural space (a space that exists between the two lungs and the interior chest wall) to remove fluid or air. Pleural fluid analysis is the microscopic and chemical lab analysis of the fluid obtained during thoracentesis.
The normal function of the lungs is to expand with each breath taken in (like a balloon), fitting closely to the rib cage. With each expansion of the lungs, there is a corresponding expansion of the chest. There is only a little space (the pleural space) between the lungs and the interior wall of the chest. The pleural space is lubricated by fluid that is secreted and reabsorbed at relatively constant rates by the pleura (tissue that encases the lungs). Because of the constant rate of secretion and reabsorption, there is generally only a small amount of fluid in the area at any time. The pleural fluid functions to prevent friction against the chest wall as the lungs inflate and deflate with breathing.
In a disease process, the pleural space may fill with fluid, such as blood, pus (from infection), serum, or lymph. Alternately, the pleural fluid may be prevented from being reabsorbed, causing an accumulation of fluid in the pleural space. When such an accumulation occurs, it becomes difficult for the lungs to fully inflate because of the fluid pressing on the lungs. Pleural fluid accumulation can cause shortness of breath, which may become more pronounced with increased activities. It may become necessary to perform a thoracentesis to remove the fluid.
The accumulation of fluid in the pleural space, referred to as a pleural effusion, indicates an abnormality. A thoracentesis may be performed to identify the reason (diagnostic) and/or to relieve the discomfort and symptoms (therapeutic) of excessive fluid in the pleural space.
A diagnostic thoracentesis involves the removal of fluid for analysis (pleural fluid analysis). In general, pleural fluid is classified as exudate (seen in inflammatory, cancerous, or infectious conditions) or transudate (fluid that has leaked from blood or lymph vessels for various reasons). Pleural fluid analysis may help to confirm or rule out infections or diseases such as cancer, congestive heart failure, liver failure, or pulmonary hypertension (high pressure in the lungs' blood vessels). Therapeutic thoracentesis may help to relieve discomfort from shortness of breath due to the pressure caused by fluid accumulation.
Other related procedures that may be used to diagnose problems with the lungs and respiratory tract include bronchoscopy, computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest, chest fluoroscopy, chest x-ray, chest ultrasound, lung biopsy, lung scan, mediastinoscopy, oximetry, peak flow measurement, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, pleural biopsy, pulmonary angiography, and pulmonary function tests. Please see these procedures for additional information.
Anatomy of the respiratory system:
The respiratory system is made up of the organs involved in the interchanges of gases, and consists of the:
The upper respiratory tract includes the:
nasal cavity
ethmoidal air cells
frontal sinuses
maxillary sinus
The lower respiratory tract includes the lungs, bronchi, and alveoli.
What are the functions of the lungs?
The lungs take in oxygen, which cells need to live and carry out their normal functions. The lungs also get rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product of the body's cells.
The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped organs made up of spongy, pinkish-gray tissue. They take up most of the space in the chest, or the thorax (the part of the body between the base of the neck and diaphragm).

LOGAN — When Logan Police Department Officers M.E. Dickerson and J.R. Adkins responded to a call from Walmart about an accused of shoplifter, they became part of a mini-series of drama starring Heather Lee Johnson, 37, of Lyburn.
The events described below are taken directly from the criminal complaint filed in Logan County Magistrate Court.
As the officers arrived on the scene, they conducted a search for the fleeing suspect. Officer Adkins spotted the woman, who ran from him. Adkins found her hiding in the dumpster at Bob Evans. The officer saw a cut straw fall from the bra of the accused as he was trying to get her out of the dumpster.
Ms. Johnson was escorted back to Walmart offices, stopping several times along the way despite officer efforts to keep her moving. Johnson then began acting as if she were having a seizure, continuing to scream and curse at the officers that she was having a "heart attack." She demanded to be taken to the hospital. Officers repeatedly asked her to stand up and walk to the cruiser, but she refused. Officers had to physically escort Johnson to the LPD cruiser for transport to LPD.
When the officers got to the LPD, an ambulance was there, waiting to transport Ms. Johnson to the Logan Regional Medical Center, where she refused treatment. At that point the officers transported her back to the LPD for processing.
Johnson was accused of entering the store, proceeding to various locations to place a 32 inch Vizio LCD television and three 24-packs of soda into a cart and a pair of house slippers and a pair of jeans into her purse, then leave the store without purchasing the items. When she was approached by Walmart Loss Prevention Officer Mitchell, she fled. The total cost for the merchandise involved was $374.09.
Johnson faces charges of shoplifting third, two counts of obstructing, fleeing on foot and possession of a controlled substance less than 15 grams. She was released under $5000 bond.

Robert Reich: But confusion over who's in charge – BP or the White House – continues to reign. Questioned about whether BP can successfully shear off the well pipe in order to fit a cap over it, Allen answered "I don't think the issue is whether or not we can make the second cut. It's about how fine we can make it, how smooth we can make it."

room for tires and parts. There are also two external pockets with tough zippers
for extra storage. The Removable tool tray can stow seven drivers snug inside
elastic loops, and can easily Velcro in and out of the bag to go to your bench
or pit space at the track. Reinforced carry handles in two locations offer
comfortable carrying positions no matter what you're transporting! The
shoulder strap also offers a hands free carrying position for the ultimate in
comfort and convenience. All these features make The RaceCase II the Ultimate
Transport Bag!
Note: This bag ships flat, but once the internal radio compartment divider is
installed it really takes and holds it shape. The walls have plastic
inserts built in, for added strength and rigidity.

East Union Baptist Church Cemetery
Contributed by Tom Bolton
From Central City, take HWY 70 W. Turn left onto HWY 175 S and follow that road till you come to East Union Cemetery Lane. Turn left onto that lane and follow to the end.
East Union is very well kept. However, there are many graves that are unmarked and there are quite a few stones that are unreadable.
The cemetery is in two sections; one at the top of the hill and another at the foot.

A mob of women lined the Dirksen hallways on Wednesday hoping to catch a glimpse of actor George Clooney, who was visiting Capitol Hill to highlight the violence carried out by Sudan along the border with the nation that seceded from it last year.
Clooney, whose every move during testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was echoed by snapping from photographers' cameras, recently returned from a trip to the region, and he used his star power to call for immediate action in Washington.
"These are innocent men, women, and children. That is a fact," Clooney said, describing his visit to the Nuba Mountains border region of Sudan which is riddled with violence, allegedly at the hands of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. During his time there, Clooney said several bombs dropped on a neighboring village. Children were hit by shrapnel; farmers took shelter in caves. "The signs … are ominously similar to what happened in Darfur, and that's what brings us pause."
Clooney, flanked by activist John Prendergast of the Enough Project, showed a video produced during their trip to the Nuba Mountains. He's pictured standing next to wounded children and an unexploded bomb buried in the dirt. "This isn't a war of retaliation [for secession from northern Sudan]," Clooney says in the video, referring to Bashir, who has warrants for his arrest from the International Criminal Court for genocide and war crimes in Darfur. A rebel fighter replies: "They want to destroy the blacks and put the Arabs in."
A slide runs over the screen: "How many more bodies until the Nuba Mountains become the next Darfur?"
"Why should we care?" Clooney said to the panel. Aside from humanitarian interest, he said, the increase in gas prices here is affected by the South's cutoff of oil production. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., added that any major loss of supply affects all prices on the world market, "from the crude that Americans import to the gasoline that they put in their cars."
Sens. Christopher Coons, D-Del., Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Roger Wicker, R-Miss., on Wednesday will introduce a resolution demanding Sudan allow "immediate and unrestricted humanitarian access" to the Blue Nile and South Kordofan regions—before a quarter of a million people face emergency food shortages.
The U.S. Agency for International Development's Nancy Lindborg said the situation in those areas appears "one step short of famine" because international humanitarian access has been blocked. If Sudan signs an agreement to allow aid, the U.S. is ready to immediately deliver food and humanitarian assistance, Lindborg said. But Special Envoy for Sudan Princeton Lyman warned that humanitarian assistance must arrive quickly--before the rains come this spring and render the roads untenable.
Some lawmakers appeared frustrated by the situation. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., asked if the U.S. is going to "basically talk about this for years and see hundreds of thousands of people's lives ruined forever" as it did during the Darfur crisis. As for humanitarian aid, Cardin said, "we talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, [while] people are dying."
With famine looming, Lugar urged a U.S.-led international response in conjunction with the Arab League and the African Union. "In particular, this means leveraging our diplomacy to press China, Sudan's major oil customer, to live up to its responsibilities as an important world power."
Noting the violence in Sudan is unlikely to spark calls for a NATO no-fly zone or military force, Clooney said Washington must "do what we're best at: Real diplomacy." This starts with China, said Clooney, who is slated to meet with President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday. The U.S. should use China's $20 billion investment in oil infrastructure in Sudan for leverage with Beijing because "guilting people often doesn't work," he said. Clooney also wants the U.S. to freeze the offshore bank accounts of Sudanese leaders he called war criminals.
In the House, Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., and Frank Wolf, R-Va., have introduced legislation to create broad-reaching sanctions to target any government or people who provide military equipment or significant support to Khartoum, among other things.
Clooney noted that Bashir's home is surrounded by five tanks pointing outward. "That's not a very secure leader," he said. "The more you expose his corruption, the more inclined the people in Khartoum would be, perhaps, to have someone else lead their country."
Clooney and Prendergast are cofounders of the Satellite Sentinel Project, a satellite-imagery analysis initiative monitoring violence in the region. The project is designed to help deter war crimes before they happen. Because it can detect when soldiers are massing in a particular area or air assets are being moved into position, Prendergast said, "at least we have the visual evidence, empirical evidence, to present to the International Criminal Court … for hopeful prosecution."
Despite the serious subject matter, Clooney's celebrity was on full display--even for the senators who were well aware the lines outside the hearing room weren't intended for their entrance. "That long line that began forming ... wasn't to see Johnny Isakson," Isakson said. Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., tried to comfort him. "Don't sell yourself short," he joked. "I heard people out there saying: You seen Johnny Isakson?"

Berlin's airport operator is evaluating whether to expand the German capital's future Brandenburg hub before its opening, while up to €20 million ($26.7 million) are now being invested to upgrade the city's existing Tegel and Schönefeld gateways.
A decision about when the long-delayed flagship airport can be inaugurated is several months away, says Horst Amann, technical director at the Flughafen Berlin-Brandenburg operating company. Only "non-critical" construction works are currently taking place in the terminal's ceilings and electrical wiring installations, he adds, while the main focus still lies on determining how the building's current state varies from its original design proposals.
The inadequate fire protection system - which caused the delay of the planned opening last June - remains the central problem. Amann says that the supply of fresh air is still not functioning reliably in the event of fire.
Matthias Platzeck, head of the regional government in Brandenburg and chairman of the airport's supervisory board, says that the operating company is assessing whether to increase the new hub's capacity before it will be opened.
The team is also evaluating whether the northern runway - which is used for the adjacent Schönefeld airport - needs to be refurbished. It has therefore commissioned a new traffic forecast.
No final conclusions have been reached for the two decisions, says Platzeck. But he adds that the operating company will take "no unnecessary risks" in the planned opening of the new airport.
There are also plans to upgrade the existing facilities at Tegel and Schönefeld with a €10-20 million investment over the coming months. The busier gateway in Tegel will receive the majority of the investment.
The operating company's plans focus on modernising air conditioning systems, baggage retrieval systems and taxiways. It will also clean the terminal buildings, refurbish lavatory facilities and increase staff numbers.
Wilhelm Bender, formerly chief executive of Frankfurt airport, has been appointed as chief consultant for Berlin's airport management. But the Brandenburg operator has not yet named a successor for its former chief executive, Rainer Schwarz, who was dismissed last month.

NPD: Trick Dominator - Initial impressions, to be followed by periodic review

Re: NPD: Trick Dominator - Initial impressions, to be followed by periodic review
When I compared the two systems, I found the advantage of the SB1 over the hammer on the Axis is durability, I've heard about a lot of people snapping the hammer, especially when using the system on a drive shaft-driven double bass pedal. The downside is the cost, which is almost equal to the cost of the Dominator pedal. Also, I find that when I play in most of the jam rooms I go to, the pedals hit hard enough to obviate the need to lug my drum module for practice sessions, though I will use them in larger venues.
As far as reliability, I can't comment on the Axis, since I've never seen them except on youtube. The SB1 eliminated double triggering altogether on my humble e-kit. Because of the fact that it only registers a single hit when the beater stops moving, I've now started learning heel up as well, something I wasn't able to achieve with my electronic kick drumpad because I couldn't adjust it to be sensitive enough for heel-toe, while permitting harder hits from a heel up style. Highly recommend it.
If you can demo the two pedals, I'd strongly advise doing so before making a purchase.

August 2 2015 Latest news:
Ipswich Post Office sorting office
By Paul Geater
Friday, January 4, 2013
BOROUGH chiefs have suggested that the town's sorting office could move to a new site in a bid to ensure that the Royal Mail does not close it altogether.
And the council has even offered sites it owns as potential homes for a larger sorting office to serve Suffolk and north Essex.
As a sweetener it has offered to negotiate a new deal with the Royal Mail to allow it to move out of its Commercial Road site – providing it retains a sorting office in the town.
Two sites that the borough owns are in Scrivener Drive, next to Suffolk One, and the former park and ride site at Bury Road.
Another option which has been suggested to the Royal Mail is to build a new sorting office in Futura Park – the new business estate where John Lewis and Waitrose opened in November.
Mr Ellesmere said: "At the moment the Royal Mail are gathering facts about the sorting office – but in our talks we did raise the issue of other potential sites if they are concerned that Commercial Road is not large enough for their purposes."
The talks did not discuss the possibility of retaining a base in or near the town centre for customers to collect parcels.
It could be expensive for the Royal Mail to walk away from Commercial Road if it does not move to a new site in the town – the sorting office is owned by the borough and the rent reflects the importance of the office to the town.
However if Royal Mail wanted to walk away from the site without opening a new sorting office in the town, they could be charged the market rent to break the contract – and that could be very expensive.
If the sorting office does move from Commercial Road, the large site would then be redeveloped – it would probably be marketed as a retail or office site on the main walking route between the town centre and the railway station.
It could be attractive as a redevelopment site because it is next to Cardinal Park and the new Tesco store that is due to be built in Grafton Way next year.

Close the sorting office and stick a huge budget hotel on the site. Then announce all the 'new jobs' that will be 'created'. Then change the subject when exactly the same number of jobs are lost at surrounding hotels. Economic growth is a complex beast and takes careful and strong planning policies. Sometimes you have to turn down something good in the short term for something better in the long term.

This seems a sensible approach by IBC as it would fit in with development of that part of the town. I'm sure a site on the outskirts of the town would be more useful to the Post Office, although it's not clear what their objective is for moving from Commercial Road. I'm surprised to learn that IBC owns the Bury Road park and ride site. Thought the reson for stopping the service was because that site was too expensive. Should have realised it was just County Council politics.
Monday, January 7, 2013
No no no please not in Futura park, it takes long enough to get stuff from Commercial road can you imaging what it would be like up there?? Stupid place to put the Fire station for a start so lets just add to the misery!!!

Rangers' Kinsler does it all in win over Oakland
Associated Press : June 28, 2012 : Updated: June 29, 2012 12:53am

Oakland Athletics' Coco Crisp slides under Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus as he steals second base, while umpire Phil Cuzzi watches during the third inning of a baseball game Thursday, June 28, 2012, in Arlington, Texas.
ARLINGTON — Leadoff man Ian Kinsler got four hits, scored three runs and stole two bases Thursday night, sending the Texas Rangers past the Oakland Athletics 7-6 for their 11th win in 13 games.
Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre and David Murphy each drove in two runs for Texas in a game that lasted 3 hours, 54 minutes, the Rangers' longest nine-inning game of the season.
Scott Feldman (2-6), who gave up eight earned runs in 12/3 innings when he last faced Oakland on June 4, won despite allowing nine hits in five innings. Joe Nathan earned his 18th save of the year.
Tyson Ross (2-8) was tagged for five runs and eight hits in four innings.
Josh Reddick hit his 18th home run for Oakland. Derek Norris and Cliff Pennington, the eighth- and ninth-place hitters in the A's lineup, connected for consecutive homers in the third.
The Rangers drew four walks and hit three singles during a four-run fifth that put them ahead 6-4.
Leonys Martin drew a leadoff walk and scored on a single by Elvis Andrus. Reliever Jim Miller walked Josh Hamilton to load the bases, then walked Adrian Beltre to make it 4-all. With two outs, David Murphy hit a two-run single.
In the sixth, Andrus walked, stole second and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Beltre for a 7-4 lead.
Oakland came back in the seventh with an RBI single by Yoenis Cespedes and a sacrifice fly by Seth Smith. Cespedes finished with three hits and drove in two runs.
Meanwhile, Rangers starter Derek Holland, on the 15-day disabled list with left elbow fatigue, said he felt good a day after his first rehabilitation start in Triple-A Round Rock.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 26, 2011 In his Memorial Day message, Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reflected on the true meaning of the holiday: to remember fallen comrades and their families.
Here is the text of the chairman's video message:
For many people, Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer, but for millions of American families it holds a much deeper meaning. It is that day we set aside solemnly to remember the brave who did not make it home, to celebrate their courage, mourn their loss, and appreciate what they did to make this country a safer place. Sadly, more than 6,000 names have been added to that roll call in the last 10 years. Please take a moment to remember them and their families. Thank you.

It may have taken a while, but you finally wised up enough to figure out your old man actually knows a little something about something. Why not show him how smart you've gotten in appreciating that fact, plus a thanks for all he does for you, with an awesome – not lame – gift this year for Father's Day?
To help you in that pursuit, we've created the following pigeonhole categories to describe all (most) of the father-types out there, along with links to corresponding gifty areas of interest. This will point you in the right direction, where you'll see tons of ideas, one of which is sure to flip Daddy-O's lid.
Should you get your selection narrowed down but can't quite drop the hammer, ring us up and speak with one of our terrific Product Experts. (They may not know yet that Personal Shopper has been added to their job description, but they'll definitely be able to help you out.)
So keep your eyes peeled! Specific items for each "brand of dad" will be suggested on our Facebook page in these coming days leading up to the celebration of all things patriarchal, along with a special Father's Day board of inspired gift ideas on Pinterest.
One other thing: when you follow us on Facebook, we'll have a special discount offer you can use to save a little dough on the big purchase. And won't that impress your pop?!?
Here you go:
Gearhead Dad (motorcycles, cars & trucks) – Hangs out in his shop most of the time, can fix anything mechanical, usually has grease under his fingernails.
Sportsman Dad (hunting, fishing) – Lives in camouflage, adores meat, levitates a little bit when the weather starts to cool and fall approaches.
Athletic Dad (bicycling, golfing) – Enjoys the fresh air and early mornings, taken to wearing shirts that are obnoxious either in their retina-peeling brightness or pretentious left chest insignia. This is the Grey Poupon group of dads.
Outdoorsy Dad (camping, boating) – Granola eating, sandal wearing dad who smells of bug spray or sunscreen or both; spends an inordinate amount of time listening to the weather report.
Extreme Dad (snowmobiles, ATVs) – Yes, yes, he still has the Need for Speed, which often results in the Need to Do a Lot of Repairs to Equipment. This dad breaks a lot of stuff.
Green Thumb Dad (lawn, garden) – Obsessive about every blade of grass in his lawn or potato bug that rolls into town, suffers saddle sores from extended hours logged on riding mower, makes frequent trips to the local garden center for "one more thing."
Fanatic Dad (football, baseball, etc) – A bit of a loudmouth and a livewire, often in charge of coordinating and executing Operation Tailgate.
Grill Master Dad (patio, barbecue) – Also adores meat (ref. Sportsman Dad, above), has a vaguely smoky aroma about him, spends extended periods of time sitting in a lawn chair looking at nothing.
Handy Dad (repairs, improvements) – A male Martha Stewart who can rig or build anything around the house that needs a fixing. Also, makes many, frequent trips to the local hardware store for "one more thing." (Ref. Green Thumb Dad, above.)
Man's Best Friend Dad (pets) – Even though he drives a dually, this dad is known for the little doggy perched on his lap as they cruise through town on errands and, though inseparable, Doggy often has a little accident whenever they are reunited after any length of time apart.
Did you find your dad in any of these categories? Don't forget to check out our Father's Day gift ideas on Facebook and Pinterest and to get your hands on the upcoming discount code!
Happy Father's Day!

You need to get over this "call the company" kick of yours, Winky. Are you really so naive to think that this private company that does business with the township is going to shoot themselves in the foot and tell a newspaper who placed the order for the most controversial memorial in the county, thus ensuring they never work with Washington Township again? Your idea is stupid. Get over it.
Unless I'm missing something, none of these people were cited with DUI or anything related to alcohol...
Cut the reporter a break, that detail was readily available from the links in his post.
Glad to see these charges have finally come down...
These papers cost less each day than a candy bar. How exactly can you say they are overpriced?
Ferraira sounds like almost as much of a scumbag as Lister. Since charges were filed against Ferraira, I'm guessing Anibal Rivera himself was the one who reported him. I'm glad he had the guts to not let the threat scare him away from pressing charges.
The stories from last week said Gatorade was going to put them through weeks of intensive training and put up full insurance and liability money. I'm guessing since Gatorade will have money on the line, and because they're filming a documentary about them along the way, they'll probably make sure the guys are in good enough shape not to get badly hurt.
Its wrong and unlawful for public officials to withhold public information to its taxpayers. But its just sad when those taxpayers actually PRAISE the officials for doing it, and condemn a newspaper for fighting all the way to the supreme court for their right to know.
Also, to those arguing the E-T was just looking to make a buck: aside ddalmaso's point about the cancellation of subscriptions, there's also the fact that the newspaper had to pay legal costs to fight this battle. And those costs were probably substantial. This has nothing to do with money.
Amend: I think you make an interesting point, but to your statement that nothing was gained by acquiring access to the autopsy: something WOULD have been gained if it was provided in February 2006, when it was requested. The public would have been better informed, and the rumors and speculation which unfortunately did arise due to that lack of information could have been avoided. And I think the E-T was right to not give up on the autopsy report after the grand jury report because the precedent that would have been set if the E-T looked the other way would have been far worse.
The more I read about this Chelsey Sullenberger, the more he sounds like a true and absolute hero. Give that man a trophy, E-T!
(Nice graphic, too.)
I just love how a man can steal almost $100k from a public school and get a year, maybe 18 months in jail, but possession of marijuana? BAM! Five years.
Go figure.
I don't think you're all being entirely fair to the Express. They aren't perfect, but it seems like they've lost staff members over the last few years, and they're still providing more local news than the alternatives. They have a heck of a lot more Easton area coverage than the Call, and WFMZ only copies off both newspapers.
I love when people say "this isn't news" but then can't stop talking about the story...
I hope the Campbells (as in, Melanie and her family) have a good holiday, and hopefully this story will make some of the local death threat writers realize they got the wrong address off the Internet...
My favorite part was when Blagojevich condemned "those who feel like they want to sneakily wear taping devices," which he said "kind of smells like Nixon and Watergate." Boy is he right, the guys who CAUGHT him are the true unethical ones here.
What a scumbag.
I'm not necessarily going to go out of my way to defend a drunk driver, but in this case, it sounds at least feasible that a justification defense was valid. She tried to flee to a neighbors house but was turned away. I suppose she could have simply run away, but her husband probably would have caught her, especially if he was getting into his own vehicle. In the heat of a terrifying moment like that, instinctively driving a half-mile to get away could have been her own option.
I wonder if this kid had any priors? I don't know him or anything about him, but I wouldn't surprised to learn this isn't the first game he's been caught drinking at. For all we know, he's gotten in trouble several times before and the school district looked the other way, and this was just the last straw.
I have very little sympathy for the kid.
What an absolute joke! I certainly hope Mayor Panto wasn't lying when he said the city would fight this clown all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. It would be a travesty to give a settlement to this shameless money-grabber.
How could anyone NOT consider this news? For almost 30 years, this guy was in charge of enforcing the law in Palmer, and now he's caught breaking it. If the news DIDN'T report it, it would be criticized for that (and rightfully so)...

LAKE PLACID The Village of Lake Placid public transit line is officially called LP XPRSS, but it is locally referred to as just the Trolley. Now, thanks to the help of some community school children, each trolley has their own name.
The Trolley naming contest was the idea of new LP XPRSS manager David Wood, who distributed trolley pictures to the local elementary schools to be colored and named. 233 entries were received from the classes at Lake Placid Central School and St. Agnes Parochial School. Four names were chosen for the four trolleys that run the Village streets between Memorial Day and Columbus Day. The winners are:
Wooden name plates will be affixed to the front four trolleys and a small metal plate indicating who named the trolley has been affixed next to the door of the trolley.
Prizes for the winning names were donated by Stewarts, McDonalds, Howard Johnsons and the Palace Theatre. The trolleys were purchased, in part, with funds from the NYS Department of Transportation.

That's the last action of the day, as England captain Chris Robshaw raises the Calcutta Cup into the Twickenham air.
Thanks for reading. See y'after.
In Ireland injury news, it is reported that Mike Ross and Peter O'Mahony are not injured as first feared, but Gordon D'Arcy must go for a scan.
England massacre Scotland, in truth. A better pack, a better back line, a better game plan, a better mentality. They will come to Dublin next Sunday with their tails up.
A report on today's Red Rose win over the thistle will follow on the site shortly.
FULL-TIME: England 38-18 Scotland.
81 mins: TRY & CONVERSION - ENGLAND - CARE & FARRELL
England lineout on the Scotand line. It goes to the front and Haskell then drives off a pop pass from Care. Haskell reaches the line where Scotland scamper back to cover. They fail to do so as Care picks and goes and dives over for England try No 4. Farrell converts a simple one from right on front of the posts.
England 38-18 Scotland
79 mins: Scotland coach Scott Johnson makes his way to the tunnel with a look of dejection on his face.
79 mins: Haskell picks and goes on the Scotland line and fails to release. Penalty Scotland - they escape conceding another try.
77 mins: England on the attack again looking for try number four. Vunipola jinks his way forward before Flood makes a line break to enter the Scots' 22. Ashton goes himself before Farrell feeds Barritt.
76 mins: Lawes steals the ball at a Scotland ruck and Farrell chips to the Scotland corner for Strettle to chase. But Gray gets back to touch down for the 22-drop-out.
75 mins: Farrell restarts and Scotland receive. Once more they kill the all at the breakdown. But Farrell misses touch with the penalty. Hogg boots back to England and then England boot back to Scotland. More ping pong in Twickers.
74 mins: Scotland win a penalty in the centre of the park and Jackson bashes to touch in the corner. All of sudden Scotland have revived from their reverie. They win the lineout and maul forward. Denton comes away with it and passes outside him where the ball is aimlessly hoofed forward. England deal with it with ease and touch down in the in-goal area for a 22-drop-out.
72 mins: TRY & CONVERSION - SCOTLAND - HOGG & LAIDLAW
The ball is recycled after Denton's break and moved left. Maitland receives wide right and chips ahead deep into the England in-goal area. Hogg comes across from the left wing and beats the England defence to touch down for a Scotland try totally against the run of play. Laidlaw converts.
England 31-18 Scotland
71 mins: It's off the cuff passing from England as they look for another try: Robshaw, Care, Flood. But England lose it and Denton breaks from his own 22.
70 mins: Scotland turn over and Visser gets his hands on the ball. He surges down the touchline but the ball is turned over once more by England. Scotland can't put more than two phases together and England are swamping them all over the pitch.
69 mins: Flood is on in the centre now with Barritt making way. Strettle comes on at fullback.
68 mins: The Red Rose win the lineout and spread it left. Scott is done for offside as he comes up to early to make the tackle. Farrell keeps Scotland moving backwards with another kick to touch.
68 mins: Farrell lashes the penalty to touch.
67 mins: Scrum Scotland: Beattie picks from the base and makes zero ground. Ford carries to contact and doesn't release. Penalty England.
66 mins: Scotland scrum five metres from the England line. They win but the ball is so slow coming out of the ruck that any sense of surprise or momentum is lost. Another scrum to Scotland.
65 mins: Lawes comes on for Launchbury.
64 mins: Scrum England: they win it but then lose the ball at the next breakdown. Scotland are given the put in to a scrum.
63 mins: Jackson finds touch right in the England corner. They win at two with Kellock. Beattie hands off and goes to contact, before the ball is spread to Denton on the left wing, he knocks on. The attack ends. Scrum England near their own line.
61 mins: Scotland win the lineout and bash to touch. England win their own lineout and spread wide left where Barritt and Goode combine before Vunipola makes more ground. Scotland are clinging on for dear life. It's just attack after attack for England. Eventually they lose it and the best they can do is spread to Visser to kick away possession to Goode. The fullback gets caught in possession. Penalty Scotland. Visser won that penalty by chasing up on his own kick.
60 mins: England recycle and then move to Robshaw out wide right, he's pushed into touch just a half metre short.
59 mins: England win and go wide right, Mike Brown gets his hands on the ball and pumps the legs, but he can't cross for the try.
58 mins: Scrum Scotland: Scotand are penalised and England win a free. They opt to take the scrum.
59 mins: Care and Vunipola come on for England.
58 mins: Scrum Scotland: England win against the head and the ball is again pumped deep to Hogg. The No 15 launches another kick back towards Goode. He takes back to contact with a strong line and carry. The ball ends in touch as the pass goes forward.
56 mins: TRY - ENGLAND - PARLING
Ford takes the Scotland lineout to the tail. Scott goes up the centre and loses the ball. England turn over and No 9 Ben Youngs snipes up the right, marching into the Scotland 22. The Scots scamper back to cover. But England then move it across to Farrell at ten and he sends a long looping pass wide to second row Parling waiting out on the left wing. The No 5 claims the egg and runs over for a try from two metres.
From the 22, on the touchline, Farrell pushes the conversion wide right.
England 31-11 England
52 mins: Farrell is next to drive hard at Scotland in the centre. England have put so many phases together now and just keep on coming at Scotland. The blue jerseys tackle their hearts out knowing another score would surely kill off the game. Farrell plays an inside pass to Goode, the fullback jinks his way past three Scotsmen to the line, where he is just about stopped. Launchbury then picks and drives over the line. Rolland says try, but then, on the advise of his touch judge, calls play back for dangerous play against Tom Youngs. Penalty Scotland and they boot to touch.

1 min: We are off in London. England build phases slowly as they batter away at Scotland. They reach the Scotland 22 and Murray comes in the side of the ruck and Irish referee Allain Rolland says penalty England.
Dave Denton made more carries than any other player in the Six Nations last season, but it came to nothing as Scotland went on a hiding to nothing to receive a wooden spoon.
A big day from him would be a key ingredient in Scotland turning over the impressive England boys today. I can't see it, but maybe, just maybe.
The anthems are first up.
Another big man for the Scots is Richie Gray. The second row made more tackles than anyone else without missing one last season – 43. He was also superb at all set-pieces and in the loose.
For those stattos among you, the Calcutta Cup has been played 130 times. England have won 70, Scotland 42, 18 have been draws.
And, the Red Rose are unbeaten in their last five Tests with Scotland, winning four and drawing the other.
England have won the last 11 Calcutta Cup Tests that have been staged on home soil and are undefeated in 14 outings against Scotland at Twickenham

@rterugby Great game. Wales came back great but because of a poor referee too. Well done lads 1- 15. Brian O'Driscoll is still outstanding.
— Conor Steed (@ConorSteed) February 2, 2013

Some tense faces towards the end of that match from our colleagues over at the soccer side of the office
Right, next up England v Scotland at Twickenham, kick-off 4pm. We'll bring you all of that clash as well.
Man of the match Brian O'Driscoll, says post-match: "First game [in the Six Nations] is a must win. We started well today.
"We came out of the blocks well in the first half well and then defended well.
"Rugby is a game of momentum. Once you build it it's hard to stop it."
FULL-TIME: Wales 22-30 Ireland. Wales' Grand Slam defence is over. Ireland have begun the 2013 Six Nations in the best possible way, with a superb away victory over Wales.
OK it is England v Scotland from here on in. As always send your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com or @rterugby
If you missed it earlier, here's that Cian Healy try - with a special appearance from Simon Zebo's heel in the build-up...
O'Driscoll's secret revealed....

When they comment on Brian's "soft hands" I'm just glad my expensive moisturiser is paying off.

Tony Sadlier (via email)
"Before the game George Hook said that 'Wales are a much better side than people think' I know he's from Cork but how does he know what people think? Like to hear his views at half time. "
IMPORTANT UPDATE on the situation in Australia, where a local girl has promised Sam a kiss if Ireland win (see 1321).
This could be a good day for Sam.
"Ed and Sam still in Noosa. Looks like Sam could be cashing in early!! The boys are making us proud Irish men."
OK. Half Time. What do you reckon? Is there any hope for the Welsh? Email firstname.lastname@example.com or Tweet @RTERugby

Ireland are not much better, in that time they have played five full internationals. They've lost four, with one victory. That win coming in their last game against Argentina.
Wales come into this tie not having won a game since they secured their Grand Slam against Paris last year. Seven defeats in a row.
The famous ground in the city centre of Cardiff ispacked, and the sun is bathing the crowd in the stands, with the turf looking like a cricket crease it looks so fine, fine, fine.
The waiting is over, the Six Nations is here. Kick-off in 180 seconds.
Ireland made 31 linebreaks in the 2012 tournament - the highest any team mustered.
More of that is desired today as Ireland seek to end a three-game losing streak against their Celtic rivals.
Interestingly, all of those defeats have been narrow: 19-13, 22-10, 23-21.
With Wales two-point favourites to win today, it would appear another dramatic finale is on the cards.
First up in Cardiff is the anthems, with these tunes belting out:
From Sean and Eoin (via email)
"It's 10.10pm here in Seoul, South Korea. Sean and Eoin here. Two Gaels watching the game confident we can get a win. 20-18"
OK this changes everything...
"Ed and Sam are watching in Noosa, north east Australia. If Ireland win A local girl has guaranteed Sam a Kiss!! Come on Ireland!"
Ireland assistant coach Les Kiss: "There is a lot at stake today. Wales have a pretty formidable side out and we have to hit the ground running. We have to do the right things and get the result today. The mood is good in the camp this morning and we are ready to go"
Some optimistic predictions of high scores for Ireland coming in - well we were the top points scorers in the 2012 tournament (121 points)
Ireland scored an average of 24 points per match last year. This included 13 tries, the most for Ireland in the competition since 2007.
