And if so, is reputation recalculated (removed) for that question and all its answers?
What happens here in meta that questions (features requests) are closed when they are completed?
see http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/the-stack-overflow-question-lifecycle/
Moderators (Edit: more specifically, users over 10k reputation) can vote to delete a closed question after 48 hours and it takes 3 of our votes to delete it.
After that it can be voted to reopen (Edit Olafur says that it is NOT reopened, just undeleted still in closed status) past the delete status using the same mechanism.
As far as I know, rep is NOT recalced, which can make it a little confusing since you will have rep awarded or lost at some point but no longer be able to see how.
Edited to add: Additionally, Moderators, in the ♦ sense, can delete any question, at any time
Yes. Questions are only deleted if they are very low quality, spam, illegal, very localized or doesn't add value to the community. A moderator can delete it right away, high rep users can vote to delete it.
Yes. Not right away, but when there is a rep recalc this is fixed for each user.
They are not closed, they are tagged as status-completed. If there are answers you can accept the one who best describes the feature that was added and how it works, or something like that.
Denied features are tagged status-bydesign or status-declined. More info about it here.
I believe by default they are not deleted, but a moderator can delete them. I think this is helpful, especially in the case of dups because there are many ways to ask the same question, so it provides more "pointers" to the question. Additionally, I believe deleted questions do eventually result in recalculated rep.

Recipe by MINNESOTAMOM
"The salad that initiated a year-long quest to duplicate the recipe! When I threw yet another attempt at the dressing in the fridge overnight, I hit on the secret ingredient. A huge hit with guests!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
1/4 cup
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 (10 ounce) package
spring lettuce mix
1/2 cup
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup
grated carrot
1/2 cup
small cauliflower florets
1/2 cup
bacon bits
Four stars because of the high fat content, but I have been making this salad for years. It is always a huge hit. NEVER use fake bacon, or fake anything when you are in the kitchen. I do this as a layer salad. Building from bottom to top, it goes, lettuce, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, bacon. Smear dressing mixture over top and SEAL in the salad ingredients with the dressing from edge to edge. Now refrigerate overnight. Just prior to serving, toss salad. Your veggies will be nice and crisp and fresh and the dressing will have developed properly.
While I enjoyed the flavor, I initially began by leaving out the sugar. Absolutely NO need for extra calories and unnecessary calories. I liked it a lot. However, I made it again but this time I used plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and I like it a whole lot more. It had a nice 'zing' to it. I kept the rice vinegar, a splash of apple cider vinegar, onion powder, Parmesan and I added dill weed. It is sooo good! I use it also as a vegetable dip as well as for my daily salads. It's perfect now and guilt free. Try it sans the mayo and it will be much less greasy and caloric.

Well, I thought that I knew better than the author and served this salad in less than 1 hour. No raves, but good. Then the next evening I served the remainder of it, and YOU ARE RIGHT - it takes a night in the fridge and it's perfect. Magic.. my parents loved it. My kids tolerated it.
My family loves this recipe. As another reviewer mentioned, it originally came from a MN restaurant. They served it tableside just adding the dressing before serving. The dressing definately must be refrigerated to blend the flavors which in the original recipe included 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar. I do add 1/2 cup shredded parmesan and some shredded colby-monteray jack blend to the veggie mix. I think that REAL bacon makes a difference too as my recipe calls for 1 pound crumbled. This is not a low cal, low fat recipe, but for low carb fans, it does fit if you use Splenda instead of sugar (a little less, as Splenda seems sweeter). I also do chop the brocolli and calif. somewhat small and keep the lettuce just chopped. I'm bringing this tonite to our neighborhood party, hope they like it!!!
liked this but not with white sugar, added 4 tb of seasoned rice wine vinegar to it instead. did the sweet/sour thing but thinned the mayo a bit and i am not into completely sweet or thick salad dressings myself. also added 1/4tsp of penzey's toasted onion powder (killer stuff), a bit of fresh garlic and some parsley and fresh basil. could play with the herbs....
We doubled the amount of greens and added homemade croutons and chopped hard-boiled egg. The dressing is key, I made it exactly as written. Delicious!
This is a GREAT and EASY salad! I've made this a dozen times sice I first came across it last summer. It always goes down great! Never any left over. The dressing is enough for double the salad recipe for us though. I have doubled the reicpe and skipped the greens a couple of times and it went over just as well. DO LET DRESSING SIT IN FRIDGE OVERNIGHT! Rice wine vinegar works great for thinning out dressing if you like it that way!
It was alright. Addicting? Well, I'm the only one who had seconds, but even I wasn't particularly thrilled. It was just alright. I thought there was way too much dressing for the amount of veggies.

WOW... Giants did just win the super bowl.. We, the fans can second guess Reese all we like, Its part of being a fan. I'm kinda thinkin Wilson is gonna be an excellent addition???Tiki never ran with a lot of power but he sure made it tough for Tacklers to get a good clean hit on him. Maybe Wilson will turn out to be like that? He sure has the speed to break one or two too....
I was actually disappointed with that pick up. Thought the team actually played better when Booth started at center, and for a free agent signing that's not good,but hope a year will make a big difference.
nah,look for Brown, Scott, or even Ware to be out this year. Giants won't carry six backs.What for? Its a pass happy league these days and their 0-line is a big question mark still.
I'm on the damn edge of my chair every time the guy kicks. He does ok,but its never automatic with Tynes.
that was my thoughts too....lol
while I can agree that there were better players on the board, we certainly needed to add a runningback ,it was long overdue. Like you mentioned on another page, Scott was not like bRadshaw who got passed over for character issues,he was passed over for not really being any good. Who knows maybe he does develope,but with Bradshaws foot and ankle issue would you have felt alright with Ware and Scott? I would'nt. I can agree that a trade down might have been possible,but did the Giants want to risk losing the one good back left?Tampa traded up,no matter what Reese says I still say the runningback he was targeting was Martin?Not sure but...after losing Martin he jumped on the next best back Wilson,after him big drop off at the position.Guys like Lamar Miller,LaMichel James ,Polk etc all may or may not turn out to be good,each has their limitations.Certainly agree thatn Holsey will pan out to be a good pick.
WELL YEAH ,IFhe shows he can't get on the field ,I'd say that will happen. He diffinately needs to show up this year or he's done as a Giant.
lol COULD'NT AGREE MORE ABOUT BECKUM!i ALSO AGREE WITH YA ABOUT jERRIGAN MORE LIKELY TO BE THE NEXT SINORICE MOSS..
yeah but he was hurt Robert,so I'd assume that has held him back.
yeah they have been ,so its time ti finally produce. Atheleticism is certainlt there,concentration/con sistancy??not so much
when Booth filled in for Baas last year, the running game actually got better. I hope Baas in his second year in Giants offense does better than he did last year. Glad to see Booth is thinking about higher education and life after football, a lot of players don't.
Never been a big fan of Clements for throwing at Paizza's head and the coward did it when playing with the DH so there could be no retaliation. That said his numbers speak for themself and they say he's in, regardless of my personal dislikes.
No ! They're gonna be a throwing team. Drafted Wilson because it was long over due we invested in a back. It was evident ,that the position had gone neglected ,with our dead last rush ranking last year. Andre Brown was actually the highest draft selection on the team prior tpo drafting Wilson. BraDSHAW AND sCOTT 7TH ROUNDERS and Ware a undrafted free agent. Now if the line gells ,we have a nice one two punch with Bradshaw and Wilson. Scott?? well we crtainly have'nt gotten a chance to even evaluate him,but I'm certain there is a reason we have'nt. A lot of things can be taught at Runningback,but vision is not one of them. Word is that Wilson has it...When they speak of Scott, they always talk about straight away speed,rarey hear anything about an ability to bounce the run outside. Again though,have'nt seen him much so who knows.
Reese has been pretty decent about cutting bait quickly. I'm just wondering what he sees in Beckum? I'm hoping that Beckum isn't going to be Reese's Sinorice Moss. Ol Ernie never wanted to admit he blew that pick.........
Beatty outta be working the TVA, it very well may help other areas from getting injured.Work the core from the inside out will.
and let's not forget his infactuation with Sinorice Moss! He even went so far as to sign him to a second deal rather than admit he made a mistake. Totally agree with you about Beckum.....
Jo Rodd this is true ,but ya have to remember that even Kevin Gilbride has spoken out a few times this off season about his concerns on the line going as far to say that "it does'nt matter how good your QB is if he lying on his back".
Brewster has senn zero game action in his career thus far. Higly doubtfull he'll earn any of the starting positions. Giants style hass been more to work these linemen in slow and hope they one day can become full time starters.See Mitch Petrues,Kevin Booth etc. as examples. Brester was what a 5th or 6th rounder? Hell sometimes it takes 1st and 2nd rounders two to three years to start.
AZGFAN1 , Its been because he's getting up there in years. He's done a fine job over the years, playing every position on the line except center,but there comes a time when the writing is on the wall, the players days are winding to an end. You can either see it, or, go into denial that its happening. To me the 13 sacks and 61 pressures he gave up last year tells me something. How about you, does it say nothing? Ohara was a pro bowler ,yet when he declined he did so rapidly. Its just the nature of the position in the NFL, all of a sudden old and worn out. It takes nothing away from all the good years, yet good years do not equal future success.
O-line a big concen going into the season. the 13 sacks and 61 pressures given up by Dielh last season have to be huge concern, with no replacement in sight except twp unproven players. The question marks surrounding the return of Beatty fromretina surgery and now back problems compound the concewrns on the o-line. Perhaps they (the Giants) will be taking a hard look at cap casualties?
each player has different goals in training,no two plans should be indentical because no two people are.
JPP the only pick that was BPA,all the rest were needs. needed a corner we took Ross,needed a safety we took Phillips ,needed a receiver we took Nicks,needed a back we took Wilson. The Prince pick could be argued from either side,because in todays pass happy NFL can ya ever have enough corners? I have to agree completely its been best available at a need spot.

Natural riches: Abundant flora, fauna highlight jaunt through Costa Rica
"Pura vida" — meaning "nice" or "super" (literally, "pure life") — is Costa Rica's all-purpose expression of greeting and gratitude.
Costa Rica got its independence in 1821, has no army and is perhaps the only country in Central and South America that has never been under dictatorship.
An American filibuster named William Walker tried a number of times to conquer Central America and convert the area into slaving territory. Eventually he had to flee, forced out by Juan Santamaria, a drummer boy from Alajuela. Santamaria is Costa Rica's favorite national hero.
Costa Rica, meaning "rich coast" — a name given by Columbus after seeing natives flush with jade and gold — is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, a unique array of flora and fauna, rare natural beauty, friendly people and a nesting place for green, leatherback and loggerhead turtles. Though Costa Rica occupies 0.03 percent of the planet's surface, it boasts home to 4 percent of worldwide species.
Perhaps this is the first Latin American country I have visited where I did not see any of the pre-Columbian monuments or magnificent Spanish-influenced churches and cathedrals that punctuate most of the Central and South American countries. I did not have to struggle to determine if the church styles were Baroque or Gothic or Romantic. But I did miss those gilded, splendid and lavish icons that enchant the eyes and soothe the soul in the divinity in such places, even if they happen to be syncretistic.
Poas Volcano
After an overnight in San Jose, the vibrant capital of Costa Rica, we left in early morning for the Poas Volcano National Park. A scenic drive through Costa Rica's coffee-growing region brought us to this charming haven of Esclonia Cloud Forest Trail, home to many epiphytes, orchids, ferns and tropical hummingbirds.
A separate uphill hike revealed the ever-changing colors of the lake in the crater of extinct Barva Volcano.
Our early departure was rewarded by clear sight into the active crater, a mile in diameter and 1,000 feet deep. The fog descends here instantly, obscuring the view, as we found not too soon.
Unique to South and Central America is a plant called Poor Man's Parasol, a relative of Giant Rhubarb (Gunner insignis). Its leaves can grow 6 feet across.
On return, we made an obligatory commercial break at Café Brit, learning various stages of coffee growing, roasting and grading, and of course tasting the aromatic Arabica coffee. To my dismay, I found out that the instant freeze-dried coffee is actually made from low-grade coffee beans. Coffee originated in Ethiopia and came to Costa Rica by way of Italy and France.
Tortuguero National Park
"Tortuga" is Spanish for "turtle." Sept. 15 is Costa Rica's Independence Day, and we navigated out of San Jose, bypassing blocked roads getting ready for the pageantry of parades and celebrations. The drive is scenic through rolling farm lands, plantations and cascading waterfalls.
Stopping at Butterfly Garden, I learned about their short but remarkable life cycle as a main food for other predators, contrary to common notion as vehicle for pollination! Also, I saw a strawberry poison dart frog, so small yet deadly.
At a banana plantation, I learned that banana was a plant and not a tree, the world's largest herb, and though India grows most, Costa Rica is the largest exporter.
We crossed the continental divide and entered Tortuguero, home to more than 300 species of birds. Six out of eight species of turtles come here to nest at the park, which is home to world's oldest research station to monitor, study and safeguard turtles.
Early Birds
We got up at 4 a.m. to head for the 22-mile beach on the Caribbean where giant green turtles nest and then hatch after 60 days of incubation. We were lucky to see a late arrival of a giant green turtle nesting, laying eggs and camouflaging them, about 300 feet from the sea. The ranger estimated her age to be 40 years and weight about 300 pounds. She was visibly exhausted after laying 100 to 120 eggs. She would head back to the ocean after her arduous task.
Luck again favored us with the amazing sight of hatchlings about 2 inches long straining to come out of a mound of sand and instinctively heading toward the ocean to fulfill life's longing to renew itself for posterity.
It's another of nature's many miracles. How do these hatchlings only head toward the ocean? How do they come back to nest at the same location when they become adults? It is almost a spiritual experience.
Many eagles and other predators were hovering in the sky. The ranger told us our presence must have saved many a hatchling from becoming meals for those predators. Fewer than 2 percent of the eggs laid reach adulthood; others are gobbled up by predators on land and sea. Turtle eggs fetch a premium; strict supervision by rangers has cut down humans digging up the eggs for sale.
Laguna Lodge, our two nights' lodging, was set in pristine and most picturesque settings with individual cabins. TNP is crisscrossed with many canals, lined with raffia palms, serving as habitat for howling and white faced monkeys, green iguanas and tropical birds.
Live volcano occupies landscape
Heading north, passing through sugar cane, teak and orange plantations, we cruise on Rio Frio and Caro Negro wildlife refuge to the border of Nicaragua, sighting caimans, crocodiles, spider monkeys, water walking lizards, spoonbills and more nature's tapestry.
Arenal Spring Lodge was another gem, individual cabins and the magnificent, cone-like Arenal Volcano visible from all locations. Still active, one can see reddish glow in the night and spew of smoke in daytime. It was refreshing to soak in the hot springs at Baldi's Hot Springs and Spa, where various pools were at differential temperatures to suit one's preference.
This is the most famous of Costa Rica's reserves. Ascend to the tree tops for a bird's-eye view of forest, waterfalls and flora-fauna on the sky walk, a chain of six suspension bridges at canopy level in heart of rain forest. It's an unforgettable experience of walking about two miles.
After a scenic drive around the lake Arenal, the largest in Costa Rica, a drive through the dry forest and a short stop in Liberia, we settle down in J.W. Marriott Resort and Spa, whose infinity pool is Central America's largest. Beachcombing while strolling the resort's pristine beaches brought much long-due comfort after nine days of sightseeing by coaches and boats.
Tarcoles Cruise
We saw more birds and crocodiles, otters and sloths while cruising through mangroves along Tarcoles River, next to the Carara Biological Reserve, than any other cruise. This tropical bird and wildlife sanctuary is a nesting site for the scarlet macaw. What a great finale!

Post editorial board lends unconvincing support to Metro bag checks
- Bag checks at Braddock Road in December. (Sophia Carter)
Although Metro announced in December its intentions to start screening passengers' bags for traces of explosives, this appears to be the Washington Post editorial board's first word on the matter, occasioned by a threat from Johnny Barnes of the American Civil Liberties Union to sue the agency over the checks. The editors unequivocally throw their support behind the policy, calling it a "necessary nuisance for a real threat."
Personally, I don't think the screenings are much of a nuisance -- I'm a daily Metro rider and I'm still yet to encounter a checkpoint -- but I don't think they're necessary, either. And I don't believe the Post editors make a convincing case that they are.
No one is arguing that the threat of a terrorist bombing on Metro isn't real. As the Post notes, attacks on transit systems in London, Moscow, and Mumbai in recent years have claimed hundreds of lives. The real question is whether these bag screenings are effective -- a question the editors happily sidestep in their condemnation of the potential lawsuit. In reality, these sparse and highly visible screenings will do little or nothing to throw off determined terrorists. And if Metro officials and Post editors really believe they will, then they need to reread the 9/11 Commission Report.
Let's consider how these screenings play out. In a sprawling system of 86 stations, they appear to go down at no more than two or three stations at a given time, if they go down at all. And within those stations agents will pull aside the occasional bag-carrying rider according to a randomly chosen number -- every 15th rider, for example -- swab his bag, and send him on his way. Let me repeat: I ride the subway every day and I am yet to encounter a checkpoint, let alone have my bag screened. The math suggests there are better odds of a terrorist being foiled by a runaway escalator than by a random bag screening.
Back in October, federal agents arrested Ashburn, Va., resident Farooque Ahmed, who they accused of conspiring with al-Qaeda operatives to carry out a series of bombings at several Virginia stations. I doubt Ahmed or his cohorts would care one whit that officers just might spend an hour tomorrow morning very publicly checking every 20th bag that comes into the Braddock Road Metro station. And if they were concerned, they would have to do nothing more than check Twitter to see where the day's "surprise" screening is unfolding, then enter the system at the next station down the road.
Do the checks do any harm? Perhaps if you're a civil-liberties nut, which I'm not. Still, it annoys me to see how Metro officials have overstated the usefulness of these screenings while downplaying their actual costs. Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn has said this screening initiative will cost nothing, thanks to federal homeland security grants. But, in fact, there is a price to pay. At a recent Metro hearing, Taborn said that three to four transit police officers are typically deployed to a bag-screening checkpoint. He explained this in the same hearing where he fairly lamented the fact that there are roughly twice as many station managers than there are transit cops in the Metro system at a given time.
I've been covering Metro for six months, and I talk to riders all the time. In all these conversations I don't think a single customer has brought up the frightening prospect of a terrorist attack on Metro. What do riders actually worry about? Being violently robbed, or getting randomly attacked by kids with nothing better to do. And every minute a transit cop is standing beside a TSA agent at the screening table is a minute he or she isn't patrolling a station or a train car.

"This is my 1st family holiday card. It was perfect in color and design. I've gotten compliments on it from family and friends. It's not too little and not too much...it's just right!"
"Our family Christmas card turned out beautiful. Our picture was true to color and very clear. The paper quality was great, sturdy and matte. The colors on back (ours was red) were bright. Very very easy to personalize. Simple design so as not to take away from the photo. Friends say they loved it."
"The card is gorgeous and more expensive. We splurged. After shipping most of them out we found out that this card requires additional postage (20c). Of course now I see it disclosed on this page where I review the product, which makes me feel stupid, but I promise there was no disclaimer in red that told me these envelopes required extra postage. I am quite unhappy about it. Not only it will cause additional trip to the post office, I also don't know what will happen to the cards I already mailed. Especially internationally. So, beware of this!!!"
"This year, I chose to feature our dog rather than our kids on the card, and this one is perfect! The message is great for everyone on my list. The light colored back of the card means I can use any pen to write a message."

Cricket is a game that requires a lot of skills practice. If you can combine this practice with a workout that will get you fitter and more able to perform when tired then your game will improve. There are a great many fielding drills that can help you do this. Here are a few suggestions. 1. Throw vs. Run This is a good drill for competitive types. Split into 2 team � throwers and runners. The ball is rolled out by the wicketkeeper and the fielder attempts to run out the batsman before he can make his ground.
2. Team Interception Split into 3 teams. The teams on each side try to get the ball across the middle. The middle person or team attempts to stop the ball from passing through. With large teams, the middle team can split into 2 and face in opposite directions. For added complexity, use more than one ball.
3. Crossfire This is a game for throwing accuracy and backing up skills. Place a ball in-between 2 teams as a jack. Using another ball, the teams attempt to hit the ball across their opponent�s boundary.
4. Backup and Throw 3 players attempt to throw down a single stump. Player 1 throws at the stump and moves clockwise to the next cone. Player 2 moves clockwise to replace player 1. Player 3 fields the ball, attempts to throw down the stump and move to replace player 2. Repeat this. To make this more complex, increase the number of people in the loop.
5. Surprise Catches The centre player rolls the ball to anyone in the circle and runs to change places with another player. The new player must run in and catch the ball before it lands in the target area in the middle.
6. Pressure Catches The ball is hit or thrown inside the 2 outside cones as wide as possible. The player at the middle cone must field the ball and return it before running back to the middle cone. Do this in sets of 6 with just enough time for the fielder to get back before the next ball is delivered.

County council's call to volunteers to help run Lincolnshire's library service
Posted: July 02, 2013|
A consultation exercise has been launched to decide how many libraries are needed in the county - and how many people would be willing to help run them as volunteers.
It is part of the review of library services by Lincolnshire County Council, which has already confirmed that it only intends to run 15 council-staffed centres in Lincoln and the county's towns.
The authority also intends to run a wide range of online services such as e-books and audio books.
But local communities are being asked to either take over their local library or create their own, with professional support from the council.
The proposals are for 10 council-run libraries to be retained for 50 hours a week at Boston, Gainsborough, Grantham, Lincoln, Louth, Mablethorpe, Skegness, Sleaford, Spalding and Stamford.
Five others - in Bourne, Market Rasen, Horncastle, Long Sutton and Woodhall Spa - are scheduled to stay and be open 25 hours each week.
Councillor Nick Worth, executive member for libraries, said: "The way in which libraries are used is changing, not just in Lincolnshire, but across the country.
"In Lincolnshire, 82 per cent of the population are not active borrowers and book stock issued in the county in the last 10 years has dropped from five million to under three million.
"Smart phones, tablets, Kindles and new technology are changing the way we do things.
"The library service is changing, like it or not, and our vision for the future of the service is a comprehensive one, but one that remains both affordable and efficient.
"Despite the need for change, our ambition is to keep all of Lincolnshire's libraries open.
"However, this is only going to work with the support of our local communities.
"We will support residents and organisations that step forward and lend a hand.
"And by getting them more involved we think we can actually create a library service that's better tailored to each community's individual needs.
"Successful changes have already taken place at a number of libraries, such as Saxilby and Waddington, improving services and getting better value for money."
Visit www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/librariesconsultation or call 01522 782040 before the deadline on Monday, September 30.

AMHERST, Mass. – Casey DeSmith (Rochester, N.H.) stopped a career-high 48 shots, while Trevor van Riemsdyk (Middletown, N.J.) registered a career-high two goals to lift the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team to a 4-3 win against the University of Massachusetts in Friday night's Hockey East action at the Mullins Center.
UNH improves to 14-15-3 overall and 11-12-2 in Hockey East. UMass falls to 11-15-5, 7-13-4 HE. The Wildcats move into sixth place in the league standings and punch their ticket to the Hockey East postseason for a league-best 24th-straight season.
In addition to van Riemsdyk, Kevin Goumas (Long Beach, N.Y.) finished with a goal and two assists, while six other Wildcats factored in scoring.
New Hampshire struck first just 6:30 in as van Riemsdyk scored on a one-timer from the right point that went in past a shielded Kevin Boyle in the Massachusetts net. Matt Willows (Congers, N.Y.) and Jay Camper (Rocky River, Ohio) assisted on the all-freshmen goal. It was Willows first collegiate point and the first collegiate assist from both Camper and Willows. Each team had several other chances including 13 shots apiece in the frame, but could not capitalize.
UNH doubled its lead as van Riemsdyk scored his second of the game from the right point. Eric Knodel (West Chester, Pa.) and Goumas assisted on the goal at 4:44. UMass cut into the lead with a power play goal at 11:14 of the second. Conor Sheary scored his 10th goal of the season on the rebound with just two seconds remaining on the man-advantage. Steven Guzzo and Darren Rowe assisted on the goal. UMass controlled play for the final 10 minutes of the period holding a 25-5 shot lead in the frame.
UMass got the equalizer at 4:47 of the third with a 4-on-4 goal. Joel Hanley netted his fifth of the season with assists from Michael Pereira and Sheary. The Wildcats answered with goals just 17 seconds apart at 7:15 and 7:32. Nick Sorkin (Rockville, Md.) tapped in a nifty Goumas two-on-one cross ice feed on the left slot to make it 3-2. Stevie Moses (Leominster, Mass.) started the transition and is credited with an assist on the goal. New Hampshire netted the eventual game-winner just 17 seconds later as Connor Hardowa (Edmonton, Alberta) stole a pass in the defensive zone and made a tape-to-tape pass to Goumas, who had snuck past the defensive to skate in one-on-none. Goumas' backhanded slide past Boyle to make it 4-2. The Minutemen cut the lead in half with an even-strength goal at 12:25 of the third. Danny Hobbs scored with helpers from Eric Filioue and T.J. Syner. UMass had chances in the closing minutes including playing the final 51 minutes down 6-on-4 thanks to a penalty and UMass pulling its netminder in favor of an extra attacker. The Wildcats were able to hold off the UMass rush for the 4-3 win.
UMass held a 51-29 shot advantage in the game including a 25-5 edge in the middle stanza.
DeSmith stopped double figures in all three periods including 24 in the second period. He improves to 8-6-1. Boyle stopped 25 of 29 shots and falls to 7-5-4 overall.
The Minutemen were 1-2 on the power play, while UNH was 0-1 in its only power play opportunitiy.
New Hampshire and Massachusetts complete the two-game series Feb. 25 at UMass' Mullins Center. Puck drops at 7 p.m. with coverage on WBIN-TV.

Police tackle ant-social behaviour in Brough Park in Leek
Posted: June 28, 2014|
Police are carrying out an on-going operation to have extra patrols in a town's main park following a spate of ant-social behaviour.
The latest incident happened on Friday evening.
This involved a group of youngsters causing anti-social behaviour in Brough Park, Leek. It came at the time when Country and Western re-enactors had set up camp on the site for an event due to take place over the weekend.
A police spokesman told the Post & Times: "We were called to Brough Park on Friday night as 25 young people were causing anti -social behaviour.

"Organisers of the Country and Western event were worried for the equipment which was on site.
"Police attended and dealt with it quickly."
The police spokesman added: "There has been an on-going operation at Brough Park for two weeks.
This has seen extra patrols in the park. Alcohol has been confiscated from youngsters and if necessary this has been followed up with meetings with parents." For our Country and Western event report, see Pages 16 and 17.

QUICK TWITT | Weidman Not Interested In Facing Belfort | UFC NEWS
Earlier today we put out a quote from Vitor Belfort making the call to face UFC middleweight top contender Chris Weidman.
Chris has answered "The Phenom" via his official twitter account and is apparently not interested in a showdown with the MMA legend.
27 Responses to "QUICK TWITT | Weidman Not Interested In Facing Belfort | UFC NEWS"
Come on man. Fight Belfort. Man up.
He's trying to fight the man who beat the man. If that's not manning up I don't know what is.
He's trying to make money without earning it first. That's what it is.
Without earning? Lol every fight he's had a full camp for he has earned a bonus…. And for all you who forgot if there was 5 more seconds on the clock in the second round, he would've submitted Maia.
He beat one dude that meant a little something but he def needs something bigger and better like a name some people know and that comment was a condescending as hell to a legend he is becoming a douch…fight anyone anytime!
shut up!! goodness it's bad enuf my favorite fighter (a.silva) has to do this shit now i gotta hear a guy who just now became known to mma fans,talk about who he will/won't fight….shut up you and silva will fight whoever/whenever ur bosses tell ya so spare us the hype train chris b/c chael done road that bitch outta town at ufc 148!
Prove he can beat Vitor. I mean he's not getting an immediate shot. Dana already said it. He would be the guy if Anderson said he wanted to fight tomorrow, but he's probably gonna end up fighting someone else.
Just wiki his record then wiki the record of the guys he beat to anyone who thinks he deserves a title shot its funny he has to fight at least one top 5 to be considered IMO it's like Dana's trying to give him a shot by default cause Anderson has humilulated everyone in the div bisping is much more deserving especially if he beats stann
Who has Bisping beat in the top 5 again?
1 win over a shitty munoz and hes anderson silva worthy…. lol
thank you first person i see to acknowledge that Munoz sucks balls and he looked worse then ever in there fight.
This is what I'm talking about. It's okay to smear Silva's name and make accusations about him not wanting to fight people, yet fighters are getting rank without fighting anyone. This dude doesn't want to fight Belfort because he's afraid to lose. You are suppose to earn a title shot not get one. I'm tired of this MMA bull. Quit tweeting and running your mouth and just fight. Really? The dude has only 5 fights and he's trying to call the champ out. That's absurd. If people had half the brain they wouldn't buy into this crap.
Yeah yeah, here we go.. just because he got a win over a top 5 guy doesnt automaticly give you a title shot, if he stops vitor then he deserves the fight, but i think he is a little worried about vitors boxing
Agree.he got cocky after he beat Munoz now he dosent wanna fight a top 5 guy.dont be scared homie……
I agree,Weidman's trying to keep his record padded so he can get that title shot.chicken shit move.Earn it motherfucker!
So Silva is accused of ducking Weidman because he says he hasn't earned it yet. Now Weidman is clearly ducking Belfort to cut in line.
I wonder what the Silva haters will say about this.
Couldn't agree more man, Weidman beats Munoz a guy whose biggest wins are against Maia and Leben and thinks he is number one contender. Not going to lie the win was impressive but is Munoz really a top 3 guy, in my opinion no.
The problem is this… Vitor is a super dangerous striker but there isnt much hype or call for a Belfort vs Silva rematch right now considering what anderson did to him last time.. Weidman, while being young in his career is a new face to the division and could be marketed as the dark horse.. a seemingly unknown kid coming out of no where to take the title.. wether he can do it or not is another question but, my point is that the UFC doesnt wanna feed potential contenders to Vitor over and over
Didnt silva say hes not interested in a fight with weidman
Yea because he would get destroyed….. Of course he doesn't want to inflict pain upon himself
Belfort would destroy Weidman even if he loses the fight. Belfort hits like a truck, and you don't want to take too many of those shots in your career. Belfort could inflict some serious damage and perhaps leave him on the sidelines for a bit, which would derail the hypetrain.
He is ducking because he is scared of a veteran like belfort! Why doesn't he fight him and beat him then anderson would probably feel like beating him! Oh wait because he's scared of losing to vitor vicious knockout ability!
Weidman vs. Silva would be a much more interesting fight than Bisping vs. Silva. Does anyone really think that Bisping would make it out of the first round? Don't think that Weidman would win either, but would be more interesting. These guys r fighters yes, but this is also how these guys pay their bills. Of course he would rather fight the champion than Vitor. Makes perfect sense to me.
Sounds like someone is scared!
"Don't be scared Homie!"
Too bad it's not up to Weidman whether or not he fights Vitor. Whatever Joe Silva wants, Joe Silva gets.
Weidman should fight chael cause he called him weedman, then winner gets belcher, then winner gets boetch, then winner gets chael incase he lost then winner gets sylva, only if it's chael
Chris is scared because he knows that Vitor has been training with Randy ever since they found the "blue print" to beat him. Vitor is the only striker who could KO Andy, the rest dont get off fast enough to even touch him. If Chris is smart he will Shut up and Hope Belfort loses to Belcher and Stann beats Bisping. He could beat Bisping… and if he got Stann down he would have a fish out of water to just put away. Right now I hate to say it but I would give Bisping a shot. Anderson will never fight Vitor again…he stated that many times. So dont hold your breath. After Silva is gone then I think Vitor takes the belt and Retires. Then Chael finally wins hahaha

Bye weeks are usually a good thing for high school football teams, especially in the area of healing bumps and bruises.
But when they come in Week 3, it can be a little different story.
"We've never had a bye week that early," said Daniel Boone head coach Jeremy Jenkins. "Whether it's good or bad usually depends on whether you're coming off a win or loss."
The Trailblazers are coming off the former, and will try to stay at the top of the Big Seven Conference as they play host to Volunteer tonight at Hale Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30.
In other Big Seven games, Dobyns-Bennett travels to play David Crockett while Sullivan Central is at home to battle Tennessee High.
Science Hill plays a non-conference game at Murfreesboro Siegel.
Highlighting Three Rivers Conference action is Happy Valley playing host to Johnson County. The lead game in the Blue Ridge Conference is Greeneville hitting the road to battle Claiborne while the Mountain East Conference schedule is headlined by Cloudland at Unaka.
Volunteer (0-1, 0-4) at Daniel Boone (1-0, 2-1) — The Falcons have pushed the Trailblazers a few times when it wasn't expected, so Boone can't afford to come in unprepared for a battle.
"We expect them to come out and play hard," said Jenkins. "Coach (Scott) Rider does a good job of getting his kids to play hard."
The Falcons have nearly three times as many rushing yards (522) as passing yards (182) this season, but a big part of that has been misfires throwing the ball. Volunteer has 38 incomplete passes in 52 attempts.
Boone has almost identical stats with 526 yards rushing and 200 through the air, but 'Blazers' quarterback Gabe Sanders is 11 of 17 for 65 percent.
"We've got to be more balanced offensively," said Jenkins. "We've really worked on that this week."
Dobyns-Bennett (1-0, 2-2) at David Crockett (0-1, 2-2) — Indians' quarterback Josh Holt is starting to break loose, and the junior is coming off a 367-yard total-offense performance in a tough loss to Sevier County last week.
That's bad news for a Pioneers' defense that has surrendered 142 points and 1,051 yards over the last two weeks.
On a positive note for Crockett, the Pioneers are averaging over 400 yards of offense (418.3) on the season with quarterback Ryan Burger (806 yards passing) and receiver Luke Hopson (24 catches for 420 yards) each leading the conference.
Tennessee High (0-0, 2-1) at Sullivan Central (0-1, 2-1) — With 86 points in three games, the Cougars have showed a lot more bite this season.
However, it will take quite an outburst to beat the even more explosive Vikings, who have racked up 144 points in three games.
Johnson County (0-0, 1-2) at Happy Valley (0-1, 1-3) — The Warriors' season might have turned in the wrong direction after a tough loss to Cloudland a couple of weeks ago.
However, this is a game that could spin it back in a positive direction. The Longhorns have been ripped for a total of 102 points in losses to a Class 5A team (Tennessee High) and a Class A team (Cloudland).
Sullivan North (1-0, 2-2) at Sullivan East (0-1, 1-3) — The Raiders have dominated this county rivalry recently with five straight victories.
Defense has been an issue for North, which is allowing 30 points a game outside of a shutout of Volunteer.
Cloudland (1-0, 4-0) at Unaka (0-1, 0-3) — The Highlanders have looked mighty good this season, outscoring their opponents by a margin of 100-40.
Meanwhile, Unaka is averaging just two points per game.
Greeneville (1-0, 3-0) at Claiborne (1-0, 2-1) — With scores of 45-14, 41-6, 56-8 and 45-0 since the teams were placed in the same conference, the Bulldogs haven't been able to keep pace with the powerful Greene Devils.

The Fastest and
Easiest Way to Apply
FAFSA deadlines are set by federal and state agencies, as well as individual school
financial aid offices, and vary widely. Some schools have deadlines as early as
the second week in January!
Additionally, applicants have to pay particular attention to deadline specifics,
as some refer to the date by which individual FAFSAs must be submitted
(Transaction Receipt Date), while others refer to the date by which individual FAFSAs
must be fully processed (completed by the federal processor, signed and
made available to the school financial aid office).
The 2014-15 school year (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015) federal expiration date is June 30, 2015.
Here are some important tips for meeting this deadline:
No matter what your individual state or school filing deadline, when it comes to
your FAFSA, the sooner you file after January 1st each year (the date that the federal
processor begins accepting applications), the better!
Many types of financial aid (particularly need-based aid, including grants, loans
and work-study programs) are limited and are awarded on a first-come, first-served
basis. Therefore, the sooner your FAFSA is fully processed and released
to your school's financial aid administrators, the better your chances of receiving
consideration for the maximum amount of financial aid for which you may be eligible.

I had the most perfect Mother's Day yesterday, beginning with my teenage son bringing me a cup of tea in bed – bliss! My daughter and her boyfriend then visited for the day and took me to Killerton House, a National Trust property, for a four-course Mother's Day lunch. They stayed overnight so we had a fun-filled evening at home afterwards, and I went to bed a very happy (and over-stuffed, plus slightly tipsy) Mum.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 1998 A program supporting installation libraries, DoD schools and other agencies that serve the children and youth of military families was outlined recently by the Armed Services YMCA.
The nonprofit organization's "Young Readers Project" Essay Contest is a worldwide effort to encourage reading among military family members. Winners of 20 U.S. Savings Bonds will be announced in April.
To help strengthen an awareness of the importance of reading in an era dominated by electronics, the Armed Services YMCA will award Savings Bonds totaling $5,000 to students who submit winning essays related to the value of reading in their lives.
Students should submit their essays by midnight March 31 via electronic mail to the Armed Services YMCA at: email@example.com. Contestants can also use regular postal mail, but entries must be postmarked by midnight March 31. Last year, 4,200 essays were submitted, with approximately one-third received electronically.
Two high school students (one in the United States and one living overseas) will each receive a $1,000 bond. And $500 bonds each will be presented to a student in middle school, one at the fourth to sixth grade level, and a child in the pre-school to third grade level.
Fifteen additional $100 bonds will go to runners up.
Military libraries on installations, DoD Education Activity schools worldwide, and youth and child development services program staff have been invited to participate in the Young Readers Project. The program focuses on the importance of good reading skills among youth and children in military families.
The DoD Education Activity is committed to enhancing the reading and writing skills of its students worldwide. "Research continues to demonstrate that reading -- for children of all ages -- improves their ability to learn, enhances their vocabularies, and strengthens their social skills and sense of self," said Joan Gibbons, DoDEA's reading coordinator. "Efforts by the community to help us reinforce the importance and pleasure of reading are helpful and appreciated."
Essays submitted for consideration in this contest will be on subjects that develop the theme of reading as a valuable and enjoyable activity.
The child's essay in this group should be a paragraph or two beginning with these sentences or thoughts: "I like my Mom and Dad to read to me because...." Or "The favorite story I like my Mom or Dad to read to me is...." Pre-school and second grade children may submit entries "as told to a parent." Third graders should write their own.
The essay length in this category is 100 to 200 words, with the student relating his or her opinions and thoughts about reading. Possible themes: why the student chooses to use her time or his time to read; or an explanation directed to other children about the reasons they should read. Or "Why my library is so important."
The length of the essay for this age group is 200 to 300 words, beginning with the following sentences or thoughts: "The most exciting thing about reading is...." Or "The kinds of books I like to read the most are...." Or "Reading is especially important in the electronics age." Or "How reading has helped me as a member of a military family."
Student essays should be 400 to 600 words in length. Subjects should center on the pleasure and value of reading. For example, students could develop the theme of how reading has better prepared them for adulthood. It could be about how the student first discovered the value and importance of reading, what reading has meant to the student as a member of a military family, or the importance of reading in the electronics age.
Each entry must clearly indicate the student's name, age, grade and address, as well as parents' names and military unit affiliation, telephone number, and the name and location of the school attended.
The name of the school is important, because books and other publications will be contributed to installation libraries and the libraries of participating schools.
Libraries and other agencies on the installation with access to the Internet are all contest entry points.

Recommendations on Financial Management....
by eChange, Performer
- Created: March 26, 2009, 1:06 am
In terms of Financial Management what is the best way to build a solid team if you're just a start-up? Our idea is to hire an accountant and a bookkeeper. Should other avenues be looked into? Perhaps network with some industry insiders?
How do you balance the cost related to hiring financial managers and the benefits in credibility their knowledge brings to the table?
alexvig | Creator | 11/1/2009 - 11:24 pm
I think your first step would be to get a great lawyer on your side, a very knowledgeable accountant, and someone that has been in the business for a while to start your sales team and client management. I am actually looking into a similar business at the moment and you guys have provided a great deal of good resources thanks guys!
siotw | Creator | 8/30/2009 - 1:47 am
Just a couple financial management resources for you here: Basic Guide to Financial Management Financial Management Workbook from SCORE There are other great resources on financial management and accounting for small businesses. Here's a great basic resource with accounting terms and definition: http://sellitontheweb.com/blog/accounting-financial-management-new-busin... Here's another good one as well from Yahoo! Small Business on financial management principles http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/r-subCat-m-2-sc-53-finance_financial_management-i' target='_self here.

I think it is important if you start, to make as minimal costs and see how your business go. If it goes well, you can enlarge your team. But an accountant is of course a must if you don't know how to do it yourself. Bassevelde Assenede Message Edited by NicoleD on 09-02-2009 05:20 PM

Even though I cannot speak from first hand experience I know some small business owners who use Quick books and when tax time comes, he just emails his CPA the automatically tabulated file and he's done. (After he cuts the check to the CPA)
phanio | Contributor | 7/23/2009 - 3:22 am
My advice is to network in your community - find people that you trust and ask them who they recommend. I have heard way to many horror stories of accountants or bookkeepers stealing the company blind. You can also seek out small, well known accounting firms in your local community who can provide all the services you are seeking - and, as they work with many clients - there prices many be better than you think.
woodencrates | Creator | 7/3/2009 - 1:17 pm
eChange, That's a big question. If you're bringing in $100K a year in gross sales vs. $10M the answers to your question should be very different. Many larger cities or counties have entrepreneurial support organizations. Maybe contact a local chamber of commerce and ask if any such organization exits in your area. Maybe also join the chamber then you have an open door to discuss your particular situation and get a variety of good answers and referrals. Good Luck!
BusPlanMaster | Window Shopper | 3/31/2009 - 1:41 am
Without question, your best source of solid information is an Advisory Board. This board has no real power. It is not like a Board of Directors. It advises only. If you can induce some people from your industry to join your board, you will be eons ahead of other startups. Sometimes college profs will sit on these boards; sometimes local leaders will. Even a successful businessperson in another industry could be a good person to add. An Advisory Board may or may not be compensated. That's up to you, and what you can offer them. Can you give them publicity? Contacts? Prestige? You can meet online, or in person from time to time. Send out an agenda ahead of time, and send a summary afterwards. You add or delete members as your needs evolve. Since an Advisory Board has no real responsibility, the members also have no liability, so people are often more open to this type of board. These people will also be able to point you in the direction of solid professionals that you might consider hiring, whether for special projects or on an on going basis.

Juneau, Alaska
My Rating
What a great family trip. We set off in a brand new boat. We saw orcas in the harbor and hump backs right away. We even saw a hump back breaching. There were plenty of eagles and seals. The captain and guide were very knowledgeable. It was a great trip for the entire family (our kids are 5 and 8). I would highly recommend it. Viator also had the best price, hands down!

Pleasure Island Bridge Half Marathon, 10K & 2-Mile
Port Arthur, TX • Saturday, November 8, 2014 •
Course Map
This fast and very flat island just off the coast of the East Texas city of Port Arthur -- which lies just a few miles from the state border with Louisiana -- plays host to the 2nd annual Pleasure Island Bridge Half Marathon in 2013, a race that features a back-and-forth run across the city's MLK Jr. Bridge among the highlights of the course.
Organized and hosted by Sports Society for American Health, which also stages the annual late winter/early spring Gusher Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K in nearby Beaumont, the Pleasure Island Bridge race is part of the organization's effort to focus awareness on the national fight against obesity, by encouraging runners to come out for whatever distance or pace suits them, from the challenging 13.1-mile run to the two-mile walk.
Runners and walkers start all three races in the event on the 18-mile-long island, which was created from sand and soil deposits that were dredged in the creation of the Port Arthur Canal in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Over the years, the island has served on and off as a recreational playground for nearby Port Arthur, with a golf course and amusement park in the 1940s and 50s that were abandoned by the late 1960s. Thanks to the reopening of the golf course and many new condo developments starting in the late 1980s, the island has once again become a popular vacation spot.
The race follows an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at the island's Logan Park, which is nestled between the shore of Sabine Lake and the Sabine-Neches Intracoastal Waterway. From there, the course takes runners southwest toward Riverfront Park, where they'll follow the roadway as it curves around to head onto the 5,032-ft.-long MLK Jr. Bridge, which rises more than 130 feet over the waterway.
The bridge's curved steel and gradual incline offer up some of the race's best views, as runners will be able to take in the water, the island and downtown Port Arthur in a panoramic view from the top of the bridge. And they'll get to do that twice -- coming and going -- as once they make it over the bridge and into Port Arthur, they'll reach the turnaround point shortly after completing the bridge run, only to head back over it onto the island again.
The remainder of the course is spent on Pleasure Island, following Ellison Parkway up and down the length of the island, out to the race's second turnaround point between mile markers 8 and 9. Runners then head back south along the route they've just run, back to Logan Park for the race finish.
Race Weather & Climate
Nestled along the shore of Sabine Lake on the Texas Gulf coast, just miles from the Texas-Louisiana state line and roughly 90 miles east of Houston, Port Arthur typically sees November temperatures that average between 51°F and 71°F, while rainfall totals average about 4.75 inches for the month.
Day of Race
Avg. Low: 53°F
Avg. High: 73°F

TEL AVIV, Israel 3/16/12 (PennWell) -- Wave energy company Eco Wave Power will soon begin tests of a medium-scale power plant on a pier in the Black Sea.
The company anticipates that the unit will be installed during the first quarter of 2012 and will have a capacity of at least 5 kW, according to a release. A model of the unit recently underwent testing at the Hydro Mechanic Institute of Kiev.
Eco Wave Power says it has secured funding for three of its ocean energy generation systems -- the last of which will be a full-sized, commercial scale electrical plant with the ability to power up to 1,000 homes.
The systems are being designed to be as cheap as possible for implementation in developing countries, says EWP founder David Leb.

Within the vast billing network of your various goods and services, fees are affecting everyone these days. Banks, credit cards, mobile phones and even your retirement fund, for example, can siphon funds from you without your oversight. Make it a resolution now to look for the following hidden fees and gain extra money in your budget. There are many books about this topic, one of which is written by Bob Sullivan called Gotcha Capitalism.
Checking Account
The old checkbook is going the way of the horse and buggy, but not yet. Now is the time to scrutinize the monthly statement for service fees, ATM charges, even insufficient balance penalties.
Often with either comparing other types of checking accounts that your bank offers or looking into competing institutions, there can substantial savings.
Credit Cards
Take all of your plastic out and do a survey. Which one has the highest interest rate? What are the fees on late payments or cash advances?
This is a time where the intense competition between credit card companies can work to your advantage. Transfer funds to a lower interest account or begin to pay the highest one off first are two ways to tame the plastic beast. Compare fees from other companies and give your business to the card that serves you best.
Going Mobile
That super convenient mobile phone also conveniently sucks money out of your pocket. An assessment of your phone plan is necessary especially if you are consistently exceeding your monthly talk minutes. An upgrade to a new plan may be in order, and even if your monthly cost goes up slightly, the additional minutes may cover your overage fees. More importantly, get rid of excess add-ons that you don't use. Text messaging is the mobile phone company's best profit friend. If you don't use it much, it's an easy savings. And if you still find the costs too high check out alternatives such as Skype Mobile.
Fund Follies
The 401k plan can be your best ally for retirement savings. But first you have to interact with it beyond monthly contributions. Get together with the advisers that either your company provides or get in touch with the persons who sold the fund to your company: you can also do your own research through several websites including the Department of Labor's employee benefits site. No question is too stupid and understanding the allocations is not difficult if you have the basic explanations. These advisers can also help you allocate your investments within the fund and provide knowledge on fees.
It should not be so hard to find out about the fee structures of your accounts but somehow it is made difficult – not transparent. It is one of the reasons Prosper is so refreshing – all the fees are easy to find, nothing is hidden.
Knowledge has no fee… unless you go Ivy League!
Steve McDonald is a freelance writer and Prosper member since October 2007.

Sunday Supper: Soy-Glazed Roast Chicken
I made it and it was great. It was not even close to burnt; I think the soy sauce also makes it appear darker than it actually was. This will become a staple.

@eric - are you drunk? These are amazing!
What size turkey do I need for 4 hungry adults, with having some left over for leftovers? Also, what is the best way to cook, what I am assuming will be, a smaller turkey?
I don;t see the attraction to this place at all. I have been here a few times and each time, I just leave broke and unsatisfied.
@David Kover - I agree that flavor is important, but texture is right up there for me. I grew up eating burgers like this and I can't stand them. It was an awesome review though!
Looks pre-salted to the max. Yuck. It looks like an undercooked meatball.
There is a great Portuguese store in Newark. I never learned the joy of white port until I met my girlfriend who is Portuguese.
My thoughts exactly.
I had it a few weeks ago and it was not great. The toast was more butter than toast and it was all overcooked.
I don't get it, why would anyone laugh at this? I just get douche chills...
I have to say, for 6 more bucks, Buffalo Trace is a much better bet. I loved OC in college, but I just got sick on it a few too many times to get enjoy a few years later...
That doesn't even look appealing. Starch/carb bomb, with seemingly little to no pay off.
Yeah, this looks awesome! My favorite food is black pepper, so this is right up my alley.
Breast, with super crispy skin.
Eggs Benedict, extra hollandaise!
Bone in rib-eye
Bone in ribeye, thick as possible.
Why wouldn't people just get a fire extinguisher?
That patty looks terrible. I would send it back if I ever got something that dense. YUCK.
