Brigg Town 2 Glapwell 1
Brigg came back from a goal down at half time to score twice in the second half in their league game at home to Glapwell. Robbie Clark was back in the starting line up, to replace the unavailable Alan Lamb, for his second spell with the club, after being released by Doncaster Rovers. He set up the first attack of the game by playing the ball into space down the left wing for Danny Buttle, who won a throw-in off Michael Harcourt. The ball was switched across the pitch to Michael Jacklin but his attempted cross into the goal area went out of play at the far post. Looking dangerous in the opening stages, Danny Buttle made a run from the half way line down the left touch line past two opponents before crossing the ball to Paul Grimes in the penalty area but the Brigg striker headed it over the bar. Next, Jamie Steele made a strong forward run before slipping the ball into the path of the advancing Michael Jacklin but when he tried to find Paul Grimes, the ball was struck over the bar. Brigg worked a good opening after twenty minutes with Paul grimes played clear through the middle of the pitch but James Lindley was quickly off his line to smother the shot. Glapwell started to settle and pushed forward forcing Andy Pettinger into a good save and then Ian Brown curled a shot wide of the upright from the edge of the penalty area. The visitors went ahead after half an hour after a Brigg free kick into their goal area broke down and they attacked down the right wing. When the ball was crossed from the right wing into the penalty area, SCOTT HELLEWELL's attempted clearance spun off his boot into the corner of the net for an own goal. Just before the break, Robbie Clarke sent Danny Buttle away again on the left wing and he sprinted past two defenders before sending a deep cross along the face of the goal.
Glapwell had a good chance to increase their lead at the beginning of the second half but Andy Pettinger made another important close range save before Ian Holmes fired a second shot over the bar. Play remained fairly even until Brigg scored an equalizing goal after sixty five minutes. In a quick counter attacking move, the ball was played out to Danny Buttle on the left wing and his cross to the far post was forced home by LEE COCHRANE. Seven minutes later, Danny Buttle again won possession on the left before sending over another cross to the far side of the penalty area finding PAUL GRIMES, who controlled the ball neatly before firing it into the back of the net from ten yards out. Glapwell made substitutions in an attempt to gain some thing from the game but found Scott Hellewell and Lee Cochrane in commanding form at the heart of the home defence allowing Brigg to win three precious points.
On Tuesday evening, Carlton Town are the visitors, followed by a long journey next Saturday afternoon to Sutton Coldfield.

The Boys & Girls Club of Johnson City-Washington County was burglarized in a weekend break-in that left the club with damaged doors and locks throughout the building and without money that had been collected from parents and donated by club supporters for field trips for 140 children in the summer program.
Robin Crumley, the club's executive director, said since the burglary was discovered early Sunday afternoon, club supporters and staff members have made donations that will cover all but $20 of the cost of 10 field trips scheduled for the children through the end of next week.
"It was a combination of staff and the community. We have a blessed community," Crumley said of the rush of help the club has received.
In addition to the monetary donations that will ensure the club members' weekly trips to the Legion Street Pool and Johnson City Public Library, along with special outings to the Gray Fossil Site and Hands On! Regional Museum, Crumley said the club has come upon a couple of other positives in its misfortune.
Installation of brick and mortar to fill the barred ventilation hole through which the building was entered has been donated at no cost to the club, as well as several months of free use of camera surveillance equipment that was installed in the building Monday.
What the club still lacks is money to repair the many doors and locks that were broken. "I'm raising money for that now. We aren't doing any special solicitation, but we take donations 24/7," Crumley said.
Crumley called police to the club on West Market Street on Sunday after she went in to drop off some paperwork and discovered things out of place.
According to police reports, stolen items included $372 in cash and coins, an X-Box 360 and Kinect game system valued at $350 and about $120 in candy taken from the club's concession stand.
Entry was made through a bathroom ventilation hole at the back of the building. "It wasn't an easy entry," she said.
From there, police reported a lock in the bathroom was broken to gain access to the main building. Offices, filing cabinets and a key box were rifled through, pool cues were broken and numerous doors and some office equipment was damaged.
"We're still finding bits and pieces of things that were broken and things that are missing," Heather Logan, the club's program director, said Wednesday.
For those who wish to help the club make repairs and replace its damaged equipment, donations may be made to the Boys and Girls Club of Johnson City-Washington County, P.O. Box 5219, Johnson City, TN 37602. For information, call Crumley at 461-4560.

The only civilly committed sex offender currently on provisional discharge from secure facilities in Moose Lake and St. Peter will move to a different Twin Cities neighborhood, a sign of successful treatment in his supervised release, authorities said at a community notification meeting Tuesday evening.
Clarence Opheim, 65, will move into a south Minneapolis group residential home run by Zumbro House within the next two weeks after spending the past nine months at a halfway house in Golden Valley.
"He's committed to not re-offending," Dr. Elizabeth Barbo, reintegration director of the Minnesota Sex Offender Program, told the several dozen residents gathered at Crosstown Covenant Church.
Opheim molested 29 boys he was familiar with during "100 incidents" and has spent most of his adult life locked up. He was provisionally discharged by a three-judge panel in March after being civilly committed for sex offender treatment in 1992.
Assistant Hennepin County Attorney George Widseth said he initially opposed Opheim's provisional discharge before becoming "very impressed" with the treatment program and convinced by psychological experts that Opheim "earned a release."
"I see him as the right guy to come out and I see a whole lot of safeguards," Widseth told the meeting.
But mother of two Jessica Pendergrass said her concerns have not been reduced.
"I could be in the library, with my child, turn my head, and he could be there. It doesn't make me feel that much more comfortable. It doesn't," Pendergrass said in an interview after the meeting ended.

Zaxby's hot wings
By Delta_Ass 1 Comments
Oh god, Zaxby's... I have nightmares about Zaxby's.
I've only been to Zaxby's once, and decided to try out their hot wings for lunch. Cause hey, who doesn't like hot wings? And so, I'm up there at the counter, and the lady there asks me what sorta hotness level I want. Now, I like pretty hot and spicy food. Living in California, you get used to a lot of Mexican food, which has a pretty good amount of heat. So this lady at the counter's talking about how they have five different hotness levels to choose from. That should've been a warning to me right then and there. When you conjure up something like five individual levels of heat for hot wings, it's probably a safe bet that the fifth one is really really fucking hot. But I wasn't really paying attention and just asked for the fifth level, which was "Insane" or something. I figure the five different levels is just something they made up for the franchise, and it's all just for show. Ya know, just to add a little quirk and flavor to the proceedings. They can't possibly have anything really scary hot, this is a mainstream family restaurant chain after all. And you can buy the wings five at a time. Now, it's lunch, I'm getting hungry, and so I ask for ten wings. And this lady's looking at me and says with a concerned expression on her face that she's only ever served "Insane" coated wings twice before in her career, and never ten of them at once. And I still figure she's just putting on an act, trying to talk up the wings. There's nothing to be concerned about, right?
After a while, the wings arrive, and you can literally smell the overpowering spices coming off of the coated wings. They're all covered in this red, angry sauce that's quite pungent and might make a baby's eyes water. So I bite into the first one, and at the beginning, it's not bad at all. It seems hot, but nothing painful or distressing. I figure hey, this'll be just a piece of cake. But the crazy thing about really hot sauces is, they take a while to settle and start searing your mouth. There's a timed delay before the chili spices really sink in and start reacting with your tender tissue. So I'm finishing around the second or third wing before the sauce start burning my tongue, the inside of my mouth, the back of my throat, and even the outside of my mouth, since the sauce gets smeared around my mouth when I'm eating it. So it's not just hot inside, but even outside. And I'm wiping my mouth with napkins after every bite, but my skin still burns, and even a few hours after the meal, my friends said my mouth had this crazy orangeish tinge to it. It's just that powerful. But the most painful part was definitely the throat, where it's burning and drinking water doesn't help much. I was definitely thinking about not finishing the last two pieces, because of how painful the whole experience was getting to be. Every bite just has more sauce coating and burning the back of the throat, and my tongue was probably completely burned out as well. Remember that 90s film about the true alien abduction story called Fire in the Sky? Well, I had Fire in My Mouth. But ya know what... I thought about our ancestors, and what they used to accomplish. They used to hunt woolly mammoths and bears, back when we couldn't rely on technology and had to sweat and bleed for survival. Young warriors would go on spirit walks and find inner meaning. Or they'd have to earn their first kill, as a rite of passage. There was something to be gained, something that we might have lost. And I figured... well, maybe I haven't killed a woolly mammoth, or a saber toothed cat, but I can at least tough it out on a plate of Insane hot wings. That might be my rite of passage.
I don't think I'll be going back to Zaxby's anytime soon though.

Kellie Pickler Shaves Her Head to Support Breast Cancer-Stricken Friend (Video Flashback!)
Celebrities across the world Tweet and Facebook their support for Angelina Jolie today for her brave decision to undergo a double mastectomy due to her extremely high risk of developing breast cancer. While reading all of the messages of love and care, we were reminded of another story not long ago of beautiful support in the face of the of this terrible disease.
Last year, when former American Idol finalist and current Dancing With the Stars 2013 contestant Kellie Pickler encouraged fans to tune in to an episode of Good Morning America, we weren't sure what she had up her sleeve. Turns out, she was about to come out in support of a friend with breast cancer in a big way.
The American Idol beauty shocked viewers by shaving her head alongside her best friend Summer Miller, who's being treated for breast cancer. The singer pulled the dramatic stunt as a show of support for her pal and as a way to encourage early detection for others.
Kellie said in a statement, "Cancer does not discriminate … If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it."
She shared a video of herself and Summer getting their hair buzzed off and joked on Twitter that with her new look, she's might dress up as G.I. Jane for Halloween!
Back in March, Kellie Pickler told CMT Radio that Summer is "doing great" and she is "overwhelmed at the support she's been given from all over the world."
Watch the video of Kellie getting her drastic makeover below.

If you completely close all of your blinds and curtains or leave a lamp on when you head off for holidays, you may be signalling to burglars that your home is empty.
That's the finding of a study into the tricks of the trade for home robbers in Australia, conducted by Perth's Edith Cowan University.
Researchers from the university's school of law and justice teamed up with the Australian Institute of Criminology to interview 69 criminals who admitted to having committed a burglary.
The study found that burglaries were usually spontaneous and the homes that were most vulnerable were the easiest to gain access to.
On average it took burglars just five to 15 minutes to break into a home and make off with cash or goods – often worth up to $5000 per home.
The biggest deterrent identified by the thieves was decidedly low-tech – the presence of a dog. About 53 per cent of offenders said a canine at a home would prevent them from committing a crime.
Short of getting a dog, the study's lead researcher, Dr Natalie Gately, says people should use their commonsense in remembering to lock doors and windows and use a house alarm.
Police suggest leaving blinds and curtains partially closed – shut enough to prevent thieves from seeing in but open enough to create doubt as to whether someone might be home.
Leaving lights on late at night was considered a poor attempt at making the house appear occupied. And other telltale signs for burglars included overflowing post boxes, uncollected newspapers and rubbish bins left outside.
Rather than leaving a light on the entire time you are away, it is suggested you set one or more lights on timers.
Stace Tzamtzidis, general manager of energy efficiency at Clipsal by Schneider Electric, says timers are one of the cheapest ways to help make your home look lived in when not at home.
"Timers ... can range from $15 to $75 depending on the brand, battery life [and] size of light," Tzamtzidis says.
Other products include motion sensors and sunset switches (some of which also have timers), which turn a light on at or near nightfall.
Despite police in many states and territories advising people to leave a radio on when they are away from home, the thieves reported that a blaring radio was often a signal that a home was empty.
Other common mistakes made by householders included:
- Leaving windows and doors unlocked
- Allowing access down the side of the house
- Valuables in full view
- Lack of an alarm or failure to switch an alarm on
- Carelessly hidden spare keys
- Uncollected rubbish bins
- Social media status indicating homeowners are away
In a salient warning for the party season, the study also found that some robbers reported brazenly entering homes when functions were being held.
"With summer here, many of us hold parties at our houses and may not take notice of people we do not recognise," says Gately.
"We need to be alert to unknown intruders and keep the front door locked if everyone is out the back of the house."

Is your home up secure enough, or do you need to do more? And what are your top tips for keeping your home safe?

I was given my Moby when my son was 3 weeks old and we loved it! Now he's 3 months and much bigger at 15 pounds and we sometimes don't feel comfortable in it now. He's often to low or to high and we struggle to get the right fit sometimes. Also one of his little legs comes out and gets cold when we're out (I've since bought him tights so it's always covered) instead of staying inside the "seat belt" part I tuck it into. Is it time for a new carrier? Does Moby have a weight limit?
i found at that weight is was time for a mei tai. i made one. it has less rigidity to it than some of the structured carriers like an ergo etc. it would still cradle baby but more securely, less stretch. now that DD2 is 15 mo i prefer the ergo most times. she twists around more and i find the more rigid structure helpful to hold her in.
Me,DH,DS1'95, '98,DSD'03,DD1'07,DD2'09,DS2'12 Living with Fructose Malabsorption Syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 3-Hypermobility.)o( and sometimes I get toif I am lucky.
I think the Moby can theoretically be used up to 35 lbs, but I'm not sure. We used it for about 3 months, then preferred the Ergo. I have never tried a Mai Tei, but I have a carrier called Pikkolo, which is supposedly a cross b/w a soft structured carrier ( like the Ergo) and a Mai Tei. If the Ergo is too bulky for your needs, you may want to try the Pikkolo, it's much smaller, or a Mai Tei. However, I wouldn't want to be carrying a bigger baby or toddler in one of either of those, hence the Ergo; we can use it right on through the years.

Have you tried the Moby with legs out? I went through an anti-moby time around 3 months, then switched holds and fell in love again :)
Maybe I can try it with legs out next time we go out. I was putting his legs in to keep them warm, though one does keep poking out. We've only ever used one hold actually. Maybe it's time to try another.
I'd say it's time to move to a woven wrap. :D I don't think that stretchy wraps like the moby are all that great for long periods of time after about 15 lbs or so. You also would have the option of trying back and hip carries with a woven that are unsafe with a stretchy.

IME, the Moby is only useful until baby reaches approximately 20 pounds. It's a stretchy wrap after all and a heavier and more active baby will cause the fabric to stretch. As mentioned in the previous posts, I would recommend investing in a mei tai, buckle carrier or woven wrap.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 22, 1999 How do you convince safe, prosperous people to ante up for future security?
A Polish military officer posed this question to Defense Secretary William S. Cohen and Army Gen. Hugh Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, here in mid-March. The officer wanted to know how America's defense leaders persuade Congress to provide modernization funds.
"The price of peace and security is constant investment," Cohen replied. In peacetime, democratic societies will always be under pressure to justify the need for a strong military, he said. If there's no war, elected officials will always target military budgets because they see no current need for airplanes and tanks.
"You have an obligation to point out that the reason your democracy can continue to flourish is if you have a strong military to back it up," Cohen said. "We believe we have strong diplomacy [because it's] backed up by a strong military.
The Polish officer was one of about 80 visitors from 30 countries who met Cohen and Shelton March 16 at the Pentagon. All are Executive Course students at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies in Garmisch, Germany. The program for colonels, lieutenant colonels and civilian equivalents includes a week-long visit to the United States to observe democracy firsthand.
Cohen told the group that he and Shelton often have to carry their message to the House of Representatives and Senate. "What is required for the United States to maintain its capabilities?" he asked rhetorically. "The chairman and I recently testified before House and Senate members that we need more, not less.
"We can't carry out our current obligations with the size of the force we have, with the equipment that we now have, because it's wearing out," Cohen stressed. "We're wearing out our people because we keep them at such a high state of readiness."
Civilian and military defense leaders need to be able to make a case for modernization, Cohen continued. "We have to take advantage of the new technology. We have to be able to communicate with each other. ... If you want us to carry out our national security objectives, this is what we need, and now we need more."
Shelton reinforced Cohen's theme. "When you commit the youth of your country into battle," the general said, "you want to have provided everything you can to have them trained and ready, as well as technologically advanced as you can possibly have them, so the odds are in their favor."
Shelton noted that the students' visit to the Pentagon was on the 7th anniversary of the date that Army Gen. Colin Powell, then the chairman, approved the concept for the Marshall Center.
"In those brief seven years," he said, "the center has done a tremendous amount in terms of promoting a more stable security environment by advancing democratic relationships, by promoting active and peaceful engagement, and by enhancing enduring partnerships."
Seeing "democracy in action," Shelton said, is a particularly important part of the students' Marshall Center experience. Democracy is "not always pretty," he added. "It's often frustrating, and it sometimes seems very inefficient. ... As Winston Churchill once said, 'Democracy is the worst system devised by man, except for all the others.'"
American leaders struggle with some of the same issues facing newly emerged democracies, the general noted. "We worry about the balance between individual rights and security, freedom of the press and the relationship between civilians and the military," he said.
The military is a leading institution in promoting and maintaining democracy, according to the general. Marshall Center students can help their nations move along the right path by working with their civilian leaders to enhance security and bolster economic prosperity while, at the same time, protecting citizens' rights, he said.

... league table.
Despite the sudden torrential downpour and sleet just before kick-off, the game got off to a good start.
Early Bolton pressure saw them spin the ball wide to winger Jamie Cairns, who took his man on, turned him and then legged it to the line to touch down. Within minutes, good forwards play had Bolton camped deep in the Carnforth 22. Carnforth turned the ball over and kicked to touch to clear their lines. The ball didn't make it, Cairns was there to catch and take the direct route to cross the line again for his second try of the afternoon.
A good start, considering Bolton were down on their regular manpower and were giving two of the Colts team their first outing in Senior rugby. But Bolton took their foot off the pedal and allowed Carnforth to come back into the game. Powerful runs from their '8' led to a short range try for Carnforth, which their 10 converted.
Realising that Carnforth were back in the game, Bolton applied pressure again. Ball carrying runs from Mark Higgins, Jordan Barnes and Jim Sharples gained ground. As they closed on the Carnforth line, James Gisborn took 'route 1' to power over the line.
Conversion added.
Once again Carnforth came back and reduces the deficit with a penalty. Bolton added another try as Higgins outpaced the Carnforth defence to score in the corner. And again Carnforth came back with another converted try.
Half time Bolton 22 Carnforth 15. Still too close to call.
The second half was mostly attritional as both teams looked to distance themselves from their opposition. Bolton's break came when a short line out throw saw Barnes heading for the line. Tackled just short of the line, he popped the ball to Higgins who bludgeoned his way thru the Carnforth winger, to score his second. Once again Carnforth responded and came back to look for points, finally adding another try to their tally.
From then, the Bolton defence held firm, with Colts player Liam Hampson turning over some good ball.
Final score Bolton 4th 27 Carnforth 20.

Sorry about the bad english. Here we go:
My macbook pro (Core 2 Duo, 17", 2007) has always worked perfectly, but today it started having serious issues. It had been sleeping all night, and when i tried opening it, all i got was a black screen. I could still hear sounds when i pressed the volume buttons, and it was clearly running, but with no display. I tried resetting it by pressing the button on the bottom, and this time i got the startup screen with the apple logo - but as soon as Mac Os started, it froze, and the screen slowly faded to black. Frustrated, i shut it down and went for a walk. When i returned home i desperately tried turning it on again, and this time i managed to log in. I surfed a little bit on the internet, but suddenly it froze and faded to black again.
I have been slamming my fist on the table for a couple of hours now. I have absolutely no money to send it to apple care. I would be very happy to receive som advice.
Thanks in advance!

"This colorful spicy side dish goes perfect with kabobs, especially with cherry tomatoes; the color combo is most appealing. Lamb is a good accompaniment."

3 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 large
onion, chopped
jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
2 cloves
garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon
ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
2 cups
uncooked long-grain white rice
2 (14.5 ounce) cans
chicken broth
1 cup
bay leaf
green onions, chopped
This was amazing. I was afraid my picky husband and son would not eat it, especially with the strong aroma. But they gobbled it up and even went back for seconds. I used brown rice, so I had to cook it for about 45 minutes and then let it rest for another 10-15. In addition to the green onions, I topped it off with cilantro and a few mint leaves. This will be a regular at my house, but as another reviewer suggested, I too would cut the amount in half. My small family liked it, but I'm sure they don't want to eat the leftovers for a whole week.
This was a nice side dish, but nothing too fancy or mind-blowing. My boyfriend said it was good and asked if it was a curry dish. The turmeric gave it the look and flavor of a mild curry dish. There were no rave reviews for the effort. I used it as an accompaniment to Indonesian Satay (on this site). I think it would have been much better with an Indian dish (like Tandoori Chicken as another reviewer mentioned). The Indonesian Satay really should have had a white jasmine rice side dish.

I was looking for a recipe to use jalapenos I stupidly picked up at the farmers' market... stupid because I had no idea what to do with them, they were just pretty. This recipe looked easy and I had all the ingredients. Well, it is delicious! My only change was to use only one jalapeno, since I didn't know how hot they were. Good thing, because one was way enough for us. So good and so easy. I will make this again for sure. I may add peas or something, it just seems like something else of vegetable form would be good.
Smelled wonderful while cooking. Tasted good too! A nice addition to my rotation of side dishes. I'll have to try the tandoori chicken that so many reviewers are talking about. Happy cooking!
I left the cinnamon out and incresed the hot peppers to 4. Great flavor!
This was fantastic, followed recipe well left out jalapenos everyone loved it
I was so impressed how great the rice tasted! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
This smells so good when cooking! I used the spray oil instead of vegetable oil, brown rice instead of white rice, and omitted the chicken broth, using water instead. This is delicious!

|For me, teaching has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. It is the same profession that has won me scores of students who love and respect me. Very few professionals can claim to have been able to make a difference to the lives of others as teachers have. Fewer still can say with pride and joy that the children they taught came back with a word of gratitude, and that, my dear friends, makes it worth being a teacher.

O. B. Markers
July 15, 2011
Read: Jeremiah 5:21-31
I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Psalm 119:75
In the game of golf, out-of-bounds or O. B. markers designate when a ball has gone out of play. If a players ball goes out-of-bounds, a one-stroke penalty is imposed.
The prophet Jeremiah warned the southern kingdom of Judah about their persistent rejection of Gods boundaries for them. He said that even the sea knows that the sand on the seashore is its O. B. marker, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross (Jer. 5:22 NIV). Yet, the Lords people had defiant and rebellious hearts (v.23). There was no fear of God, who gave them rain for their crops (v.24). They grew rich on deceit (v.27) and ignored the pleas of the disadvantaged (v.28).
God has given moral boundaries in His Word for us to live within. He gave them not to frustrate us but so that by keeping within them we may enjoy His blessings. David wrote: I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right (Ps. 119:75). God told Israel through Moses, I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life (Deut. 30:19).
Dont test Gods boundaries and invite His correction. Make wise choices to live within His O. B. markers in His Word.
The Lord has given us commands,
And told us to obey;
Our own designs are sure to fail,
If we neglect His way! Bosch
A small step of obedience is a giant step to blessing.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"
Colossians 3:23

John A. Boehner was narrowly reelected speaker of the House on Thursday, giving him a another chance to lead the chamber — a task that has been difficult for him over the past two years. The Ohio Republican survived a mini-rebellion among the most conservative members of the GOP caucus to win his second term as speaker.
Twelve Republican defected, with 10 voting for other conservatives and two abstaining. The final vote was 220 for Boehner to 192 for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). The winner needed 214 votes, a simple majority of the 427 lawmakers who voted.

Gear Review
so so
I like a lot of the features on the bindings, they feel pretty smooth to ride and i like how pretty much everything is adjustable, but they're kinda poorly made in the sense that things are breaking a bit too often. Also they're supposed to be good for up to size 14 boots and i have size 13 that I need to squeeze into the binding every time I put my feet in them.

text: Tweet Image Source: Flickr. By: Topsy at Waygood. Around the world, there are many people who follow (and perhaps sometimes even yell) the anti-plastic bag mantra: Ban the plastic bag! Well, it would seem that mantra is becoming a reality in California. Recently, the state Assembly voted 41 to 27 to pass a bill that will ban single-use plastic grocery bags, making it the first of its kind in the US. The ban was also endorsed by the California Grocers Association and Governor Schwarzenegger also plans to sign the bill if it passes the Senate as expected. You can check out information on the new bill here (search for AB 1998), though here are some key points to expect: • In-store plastic bags recycling programs will be repealed. • Grocery stores, convenience stores, and other specified stores will be prohibited from providing single-use plastic bags to customers. • Stores will be required to provide reusable bags to customers or recycled paper bags for a reasonable cost no less than $0.05. Some cities throughout California already have plastic bag bans at work, including San Francisco and Malibu. Environmentalists are also particularly happy about the ban, especially considering that Californians alone use 19 billion plastic bags per year and these plastic bags can (and have) posed a major threat to wildlife. This latest bill comes after a long line of great green efforts in California, including mandatory recycling programs and stricter rules on appliances and electronics. I only wonder how long it will be before other states (or countries) take the initiative and start doing the same. SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER Thank you, your sign-up request was successful!

In 1995, about 56 (+/- 0.8) percent of American families (current owners as well as renters) could afford to purchase a modestly priced house in the area where they lived. That is, they could afford to purchase a modestly priced house with cash or could qualify for a 30-year conventional mortgage with a 5 percent down payment. Ninety-five percent of this group currently own their homes. A modestly priced house is one that is less expensive than 75 percent of all owner-occupied houses in the area of residence. See box 1 for definitions.
The percentage of families able to buy a modestly priced house was lower in 1995 than in 1984 or 1988 when about 60 percent (+/- 1.0 in 1984, +/- 0.5 in 1988) could afford such a purchase or in 1991 and 1993, when about 58 percent (+/- 0.8 In 1991, +/- 0.6 in 1993) of families could afford to purchase a modestly priced house.
About 10 (+/- 0.6) percent of renters could afford a modestly priced house in 1995 -- not much different than the 11 (+/- 0.5) percent of renters who could afford such a purchase in 1993.
About 19 (+/- 1.9) percent of White non-Hispanic married couples who were renting in 1995 could afford a modestly priced house, compared with 8 (+/- 3.0) percent of Black married couples who were renting.
Renter families in 1995 were usually disqualified from purchasing a modestly priced house for more than one reason (lack of down payment, excessive debt, or insufficient income). About 48 (+/- 1.5) percent of renter households would not qualify because of excessive debt and insufficient income for a mortgage.
Down payment subsidies would do more to improve affordability of a modestly priced home than lower down payments (which would also increase monthly mortgage payments) or a signficant reduction in interest rates. Subsidies would, however, require funding from a private source, such as employers or assistance from home sellers, or non-profit groups, or a governmental agency.
Many public programs have sought to reduce barriers to homeownership for American families and individuals who desire homeownership. Would-be homeowners are most often discouraged by having excessive debts, by not having cash for a down payment, or by interest rates that set the monthly mortgage payment too high for the family to afford on its current income. This report attempts to quantify these factors for different types of households and to illustrate how affordability might be changed by altering down payment requirements, changing interest rates, or permitting subsidies or other forms of cash assistance to renters seeking to purchase a house.
This is the fourth of a series of reports that have attempted to guage changing housing affordability for families (current owners and current renters) and unrelated individuals. Many homeowners who purchased their homes many years ago might not qualify for a mortgage under current conditions; for them, not being able to afford a house may be a barrier to residential mobility. The data come from the Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) that was conducted during the first four months of 1995 and collected data on income, debts, and financial assets. Income in this quarter was multiplied by 4 to represent annual income.
In 1995, about 56 percent of all families (including current owners and currrent renters) would qualify for a mortgage for a modestly priced house in the area where they lived using 30-year conventional fixed-rate financing with a 5 percent down payment. This percentage was slightly lower than in 1993, when 58 percent of families would have qualified. The percentage of unrelated individuals able to buy a modestly priced house under these conditions was about the same -- 34 percent -- in 1995 as in 1993.
This decline in affordability for families occurred alongside a rise in the homeownership rate. In the spring of 1993, about 63.8 percent of American families were owner-occupiers, whereas 64.5 percent were owner-occupiers in the spring of 1995. Over this period of time the number of homeowners increased faster (from 62.0 million in the spring of 1993 to 64.4 million in the spring of 1995, or an increase of 3.9 percent) than the number of renters (from 35.1 million in the spring of 1993 to 35.4 million in the spring of 1995 -- an increase of only 0.7 percent). In fact, between these two dates many renters -- especially those with the highest income, greatest assets, and least debt -- became homeowners. Many of these renters-to-owners used up some of their assets for closing costs and incurred debt (a mortgage), and these changes, along with changes in families' incomes, a slight rise in interest rates, and changes in housing prices over this period nudged downward the affordability measure for all families.
About half of all families could afford a median-priced house, or a price-adjusted house in the area where they lived in 1995. Fifty-six percent of families could afford a modestly priced house, and 60 percent could afford a low-priced house. About one-fourth of all unrelated individuals could afford a median-priced house or a price-adjusted house in 1995, while about one-third could afford a modestly priced house, and two-fifths could afford a low-priced house.
For all families and unrelated individuals in the South, about half could afford a modestly priced house in 1995, the same as in the Northeast. Affordability was greater in the Midwest where 55 percent could afford a modestly priced house, but less in the West where only 39 percent could afford to buy one. In central cities of metropolitan areas, 38 percent could afford a modestly priced house, compared with 55 percent in suburban areas and 51 percent outside metropolitan areas.
The ability to purchase a modestly priced house differs significantly by whether families or individuals currently own or rent their residence. For all renters, only 10 percent could afford a modestly priced home in 1995. By contrast, 71 percent of owners could afford to purchase a different modestly priced home in the same area where they lived in 1995. In 1993, 11 percent of renters and 73 percent of owners could afford a modestly priced house in their own area.
The median value of the maximum amount that owner families could afford to pay in 1995 to relocate to another house (using conventional financing) was $136,100, about the same as in 1993. For unrelated individuals who owned, the median value of the maximum-priced house in 1995 was $84,600, also about the same as in 1993. In contrast, the median value of the maximum-priced house renters could afford was less than $20,000 in both 1995 and 1993. Many renters cannot afford any house because of low incomes, little or no savings or other financial assets, and high amounts of debt relative to their income.
Affordability varies greatly by type of family and marital status. Two-thirds of married couples, 36 percent of male-householder families, 22 percent of female-householder families, and one-third of all unrelated individuals could afford a modestly priced house in 1995. For families, the ability to afford a modestly priced house is also related to whether they had children under the age of 18. For married couples with children under 18, 56 percent could afford a house, but for those with no children under 18, about three-quarters (74 percent) could afford a house.
Homeownership affordability varies by race and ethnicity even when similar family types are compared. About 1 out of 5 (19 percent) White non-Hispanic married couples who rent could qualify to buy a modestly priced house, while only 8 percent of Black married couples who rent could do so. About 82 percent of White non-Hispanic married couples who are homeowners could afford to relocate to a modestly priced house in the area where they lived, compared with about 7 out of 10 Black married couple owners.
Only 5 percent of Hispanic married couples who rent could afford a modestly priced house, compared with 17 percent of non-Hispanic married couple renters. Married couple homeowners of Hispanic origin could afford to purchase a different modestly priced house 59 percent of the time, compared with 81 percent for non-Hispanic married-couple homeowners.
Age is also related to affordability. Renters in families who could not afford to buy a modestly priced house were much younger (median age of householder was 36) than families who own their home (median age of householder was 48) and also younger than owner families who could not afford to purchase a different modestly priced house (median age of householder was 39).
Only 2 percent of renter families below the median income for all renter families could afford a modestly priced house, while 18 percent with incomes above the median could afford to buy. Three primary reasons explain why families and individuals cannot afford to purchase a house -- lack of cash or other financial assets for the down payment and closing costs, insufficient income to make the mortgage payments, and other debt payments which reduce the amount of income available for the mortgage payment. Financial assets include equity in a homeowner's present house, cash, and other assets that could be converted into cash.
Of those renter families who could not qualify to purchase a modestly priced house, most (70 percent) could not qualify for more than one reason. For example, about 48 percent had both excessive debt and insufficient income for a mortgage, while 22 percent lacked cash (for the down payment and closing costs) and also had insufficient income to qualify for the mortgage. Having a debt level too high to qualify for a mortgage was the largest single reason owner families could not afford a modestly priced house; 27 percent of owner families could not qualify for this reason.
Three basic ways to increase the affordability of houses are to lower interest rates, to require a lower down payment for home purchasers, and to provide a down payment subsidy to home buyers. Using SIPP data, it is possible to estimate the potential effects of such policies for owners and renters, using both conventional financing and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured financing. In this discussion, the focus will be on using conventional financing for renters purchasing a modestly priced house in 1995.
Surprisingly, decreases in the mortgage interest rate of less than 3 percentage points compared with the conventional mortgage interest rate prevailing in 1995 (8.67 percent) had no significant effect on the number of renters who would have qualified for a mortgage on a modestly priced house. Because renters typically have more than one obstacle to buying a house, lower interest rates might remove one obstacle -- lack of income to qualify for a loan -- but renters still might not have enough cash for a down payment and closing costs or might have debt levels that are too high. Reducing interest rates by 3 percentage points would, however, increase (by about 1 percentage point) the number of renters who would have qualified for a mortgage.
More renters would qualify if the required down payment on a house were below 5 percent, the minimum assumed for this report. This option would lower the amount of cash required for the down payment and closing costs, but it would also increase the amount of income necessary, because the mortgage, and hence payments, would have to be higher. Decreasing the required down payment from 5 percent to 2.5 percent would have increased (by about 1 percentage point) renters who would qualify for a mortgage. Requiring no down payment would have increased the proportion of qualified renters by 3 percentage points.
Another option to increase the number of renters who would qualify for a mortage is a down payment subsidy. This approach is the equivalent of receiving a gift from parents or employers or home sellers, or assistance from non-profit agencies or governmental agencies to increase the amount of cash available for a downpayment, closing costs, or debt repayment. A subsidy of $1,000 would have had no significant effect on the number of renters who would qualify for a mortgage. A subsidy of $2,500 would have increased the number of renters qualifying by 2 percentage points; $5,000, by 11 percentage points; $7,500, by 18 percentage points; and $10,000, by 22 percentage points. These subsidy options would, however, require funding from some private, non-profit or governmental organizations.
Improving opportunities for homeownership among minority populations has been a goal of several organizations. Lowering interest rates, reducing the down payment, and offering subsidies for the down payment are possible ways of expanding opportunities for renters to become owners. Lowering interest rates by three percentage points from their 1995 levels would have no significant effect on the percentage of Black or Hispanic renters who could qualify for a mortgage for a modestly priced house in 1995. Lowering the down payment to zero, however, would have increased the number of Black renters who could qualify for a mortgage on a modestly priced house by 2 percentage points, but would have had no significant effect for Hispanic renters.
A subsidy of at least $2,500 for the down payment would be required to significantly increase the percentage of Black renters who would have qualified for a mortgage in 1995. A $2,500 subsidy would have increased the number of Black renters qualified for a mortgage by 2 percentage points, a $5,000 subsidy by 13 percentage points, and a $7,500 subsidy by 19 percentage points. A $10,000 subsidy would not significantly further increase (over a $7,500 subsidy) the number of Black renters who could qualify for a mortgage.
For Hispanic renters, a subsidy of at least $5,000 would be required to significantly raise the percentage who would qualify for a mortgage. A $5,000 subsidy would have increased the number of Hispanic renters who would have qualified for a mortgage on a modestly priced house by 7 percentage points, a $7,500 subsidy by 12 percentage points, and a $10,000 subsidy by 16 percentage points. As noted earlier, however, such mortgage subsidies would require funding from some private, non-profit, or governmental source.

This report presents information of current policy interest, using data from households. All statistics are subject to sampling variability, as well as survey design flaws, respondent classification errors, and data processing mistakes. The Census Bureau has taken steps to minimize errors, and analytical statements have been tested and meet statistical standards. However, because of methodological differences, use caution when comparing these data with data from other sources. For information on the source of data and the accuracy of estimates, including the use and computation of standard errors, see the "Source and Accuracy Statement for the 1990 and 1992 Public Use Files from the Survey of Income and Program Participation." NOTE: Further information on the source and accuracy of these data is found at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/hsgaffrd.html.
House prices were determined for areas defined by the nine census geographic divisions and by whether a house was inside or outside a metropolitan area or in or out of a central city of a metropolitan area. A modestly priced house is one priced so that 25 percent of all owner-occupied houses in the area in which the survey respondent lives are below this value and 75 percent are above. A median-priced house has a price below half of the owner-occupied houses in the area and above the other half. A price-adjusted house is a median-priced house in 1988 adjusted for increases in prices due to inflation as measured by the Urban Consumer Price Index from 1988 to 1995. Low-priced houses are priced so that 10 percent of all owner-occupied houses in an area are below that value and 90 percent are above. A maximum-priced house is the highest-priced house a family or unrelated individual can afford, given the limitations of income, debts, and financial assets.
As an example of the range of these housing prices, a modestly priced house in the suburbs of the South Atlantic Division was $67,000 in 1995, while a modestly priced house in a city in the Pacific Division was $107,000. Median new single-family house values for each of the nine census geographic divisions were derived from the Survey of Construction. Median condominium values for each of the four census geographic regions were derived from the American Housing Survey. The values of all these houses can be found on the housing affordability Internet site at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/housing/hsgaffrd.html.
According to conventional mortgage underwriting guidelines, the maximum amount of income that can be allocated to mortgage payments is 28 percent, and the maximum amount that can be allocated to all debt payments (including the projected mortgage payments) is 36 percent of income. These rules, combined with the amount of debt already accumulated, and the amount of cash available for the down payment, effectively determine the maximum mortgage for which a family or individual can qualify. The details of how these parameters are used to qualify a family or individual for a mortgage may be found in the Source and Accuracy Statement on the Internet.

PAC-6 BOYS SEMIS: Hillside tops Jordan to return to finals
Hillside now is three-for-three in getting to the PAC-6 Tournament title game under third-year coach Crasten Davis and it took a fourth-quarter rally to make it happen.
"It was a battle of attrition," Davis said. "We went up on then. Then they came back on us. But we got back by making our free throws."
Trevion Thompson hit a pair of free throws with 6.5 seconds left to give the Hornets a 73-71 win over Jordan on Thursday night at Person.
"It came down to who wanted it the most," Thompson said. "I felt like I had ice in my veins and I just went up there and knocked them down."
Hillside made 29 of 32 free throws in the game, while Jordan was 23 of 31 from the line.
The Hornets (16-10), who had lost both regular-season games to Jordan (16-8), next will face top-seeded Northern tonight at 7:30 in the championship game. Hillside also lost to Northern twice in the regular season.
"To be in the championship game is good but you don't come to just get into the championship game," said Davis, who won the title in his rookie year as coach two seasons ago and lost last year to Jordan. "You want to win the championship game. And we've got a heck of an opponent in Northern."
Justice Kithcart scored a game-high 24 points to lead Hillside, while Josh Thompson led Jordan with 16.
Hillside led at the beginning of the game and at the end of the game but Jordan controlled the middle part. And once the score tightened up and Hillside retook the lead 69-67 on Malik Evans' layup, Jordan could not recover.
"I'm proud of my team and we all fought hard," said Evans, who also hit a driving layup along the right baseline to tie the game at 67-apiece with 4:07 left. "At the end of the game we knew we had to give it our all."
Thompson gave the Hornets a four-point lead with 1:48 left with a driving shot but Jordan's Arthur Reese made a 3 from the right wing with 1:07 left. The Falcons then had a chance to take the lead with 21.2 seconds left but Mike Lee made only one of two free throws to leave the score knotted at 71-71.
Hillside ran the clock down to under 10 seconds and the ball ended up in Thompson's hands on the right wing. He drove to the lane and was fouled going up for the shot. He said he was confident going to the line and he responded by swishing both shots for the win.
Jordan's last-gasp attempt came undone at mid-court when the inbounds pass with three seconds left couldn't be controlled for a shot.
Jordan coach Kim Annas said his team played in fits and starts and couldn't find any consistency.
"We didn't really play well the whole game," Annas said. "We were sluggish and never really got into it until late into the second quarter and into the third quarter. We didn't get a stop or get a rebound when we needed it."

You're stuck!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
If you need a 3 pin binding, you're stuck. This is the only boot available and it absolutely does NOT hold up. By the 2nd ski, the front of the boot was peeling away from the sole. We have our new boots held together with shoe goo and duct tape. This was true for both my wife's new pair and mine. Consider changing the binding and getting different boots.

Former Niceville and Walton football coach Frank Sorrells has been hired to take over at Bay High School in Panama City.
Sorrells has 33 years coaching experience, 29 as head coach, and has compiled a 211-99 won-loss record.
Sorrells, 63, comes to Bay after three seasons as head coach of his high school alma mater in Virginia. Sorrells guided Niceville to the 1988 state championship, nine state playoff appearances and a regular-season record of 101-15 from 1987-1998.
Sorrells took over at Walton High School in 2002 and compiled a record of 28-15 in four seasons and he took the Braves to three playoff appearances, including an 8-4 record in his first season that saw the Braves knock off Qunicy Shanks 49-48 in overtime before losing at Jacksonville Bolles in the second round.
Sorrells succeeds Mike Healey at Bay High, who had initial success at Bay before the program slumped to 0-9 in 2008. Principal Mackie Owens said Sorrells was chosen from a pool of 175 applicants.

Obama's betrayal: No Iraqi peace dividend
Here's a dirty little secret that the liberals won't tell you. (That is, if they are even aware!)
There has been no Iraqi "Peace Dividend" so far under President Obama.
In the first quarter of this year, spending on national defense has declined by 1.1%,yet non-defense spending has only increased by 1,0%--a net loss in overall spending.
On the other hand, in the fourth quarter of 2008, defense spending under President Bush dropped 0.3% from the prior quarter and non-defense spending jumped 3.4%, meaning that President Bush gave the nation more of a "peace dividend" than the current, democratic/liberal president.
Sadly, most Republicans would probably be angry at Bush over this. They're too stupid to see how smart Bush really was!

i'd wait and see when and if Obama places things in overdrive
i am listening to Phils' Gang on bizradio, and everything about housing is the Democrats' fault
but he is saying that Fannie and Freddie put tax payers on the hook for the demise
however he does not understand that the free market should have been able to take care of $30 to even $100 billion worth of foreclosures
phil grande also is a nim-commie-poop about the the 30 to 1 leverage by wall street banker fascists who are the real products of Bush and Greenspan deregulation in fact no regulation such that the cdo's and swaps multiplied by 30 or evern more cannot be mopped up by the free market.
ergo : phil grande is a GOP boy scout debt terrorist wanna bee who does not understand macro economics.

Add to the banking sector the lack of regulation in the oil/commodity markets either. Mike did the best reporting I ever saw on the unfettered speculation in commodities and had the data and facts to back it all up. Bush/Paulson reply: Free Market!; it destroyed the economy undeniably now in hindsight.
Mike reported that Sen Norm Colemans own Senate Committee on Investigations identified speculation in commodities as having the most influence on rising commodity prices, Coleman ignored his own report. and now it looks like he will lose his senate seat to joker Al Franken, he deserves it.

Yes Matt, that's right. However, even withe Dems in control, I am skeptical that any meaningful anti-spec legislation will be passed. With many Wall Streeters holding top policy posts, it seems a long shot that things will change.

It's a simple little calendar.
To many, the S.C. African-American History Calendar is a small, insignificant thing.
But 25 years ago, AT&T began using it to spotlight black role models in the state. In doing so, it has inspired countless young African-Americans across the nation, many of whom did not always see themselves reflected positively.
Hollywood did not feature many blacks in its lineup. (It still has a way to go). Television was not much better. Even with their obvious flaws, we were happy to see such TV sitcoms as "Julia," "Good Times," "The Jeffersons" and "The Cosby Show."
And how textbooks represented blacks, well, that's another column.
Now we have a black president, like him or not.
So a calendar focusing on the attributes of the Matthew James Perry Jrs., Lucille Whippers, (congrats on receiving the 2013 Marjorie Amos-Frazier Pacesetter Award), and Septima Clarks is not a bad idea.
In a quarter of a century, the calendar has honored nearly 300 people; think how many others these people have inspired.
Inspiration is key
Still, some may wonder if an S.C. African-American History Calendar is needed today.
In 1989, when it was first produced, the need obviously was greater. The teaching of African-American history was limited.
Pamela P. Lackey, AT&T South Carolina president, said in her introduction that the calendar was developed initially as a resource for teachers wanting to include African-American history in their classroom curriculum.
Today, she states, it has become "a virtual Hall of Fame, combining recognition with education and drawing online visitors from around the globe."
So yes, the need still exists.
The calendar and Black History Month, for that matter, should become obsolete only when every person IS judged by his or her character; when the color of one's skin plays no role in decision-making, and when women are paid equally instead of 71 cents for every $1 a man makes. (Do we dare ask how that trickles down for blacks?)
Young people can always use inspiration, no matter their ethnicity or gender.
There are still families out there who are waiting to have first-generation college graduates; some who are still working two jobs and fighting their way out of poverty and despair.
Inspiration is a key that can unlock doors to make dreams reality.
Learn, be inspired
Luther Seabrook Ph.D., a retired longtime educator and community activist in New York and Charleston, is this month's calendar honoree.
He's appreciative of being honored, and believes the calendar is still "absolutely needed."
Every child can benefit from learning African-American history, he believes, and he hopes the calendars will continue to be used in the classroom.
So many schools are teaching to standardized tests instead of teaching students to think and learn to live in the world, he said.
"There is a great need in the community to have vision and know history." Blacks and whites must learn to "live together or we will all perish together," Seabrook said.
AT&T will unveil its 2014 calendar this month, listing its 297 honorees. Instead of individuals, though, this calendar focuses on 12 events that have shaped our state's history.
They include the Orangeburg Massacre, the Charleston hospital strike and Robert Smalls' and the CSS Planter's role in the Civil War.
When you get some time, go to scafricanamerican.com and view or download the calendar.
You may be inspired to learn more about our state's history, no matter what color you are.

Inishbofin Island or Inis Bó Finne is situated about 2.5 km off the coast of beautiful North West Donegal. An Irish speaking Island, it is the largest of three Islands between Machaire Uí Robhartaigh Pier and the more famous Tory Island. The island is approximately 1.2km wide and 2km long with a small seasonal population of about 50 people. It is a quiet, untouched island with beauty and scenery all but as good as that of a Caribbean Island. It is a lovely island, a good place to get away and relax, with its small cluster of old white washed island houses gleaming in the sun and with its beautiful sandy beaches that would seem as no-one had ever set eyes on before. The island is a great spot for any bird watchers with many species, rare and common including the Corncrake. The island is a great place for walking and the scenery is superb, it is also a great spot for canoeing or kayaking and you can explore the seas around the island. It is a great tourist attraction and I would encourage any one who enjoys the beautiful scenery of the West Coast of Ireland to visit Inishbofin and be mesmerised by the beauty of the place.

Texas To Review More Insurance Premiums
By KRWG News
Texas – Texas officials expect to regulate insurance rates more actively under a new federal law, requiring insurers to justify "unreasonable" increases in premiums.
However, state officials tell the Austin American-Statesman that a lack of staff and other resources may keep the state from reviewing and comparing rates on a regular basis. They say the state has had the authority to regulate insurance premiums more rigidly, but that power wasn't used regularly.
Katrina Daniel is senior associate commissioner of the state's life, health and licensing program at the Texas Department of Insurance. She says the state, in the past, has reviewed only rate increases of more than 50 percent and complaints. Now, the department is devising a schedule for performing more rate reviews.
Daniel says the federal government has left the state with a problem by not defining "unreasonable."

Roast Chicken With Saffron, Hazelnuts, and Honey From 'Ottolenghi'

Here's a tahini-rich recipe for hummus. More
Here's a tahini-rich recipe for hummus along with two variations, Musabaha (warm chickpea topping) and Kawarma (fried chopped lamb). For the most show-stopping of hummus dishes, take the extra time and prepare the Kawarma. Freshly chopped lamb neck meat is marinated in warm spices, za'atar, vinegar, mint, and parsley before it's fried in butter. More
As any fan of Yotam Ottolenghi's previous book, Plenty, knows, the man is an expert when it comes to eggplant. In his and his partner Sami Tamimi's new book Jerusalem: A Cookbook, there are copious recipes for eggplant—stuffed, puréed, roasted, baked, and everything in between. In their Stuffed Eggplant with Lamb and Pine Nuts, they fill the silky, humble nightshade with a warmly spiced blend of gamey ground lamb, sweet onions, and a smattering of pine nuts. More
The Mejadra recipe in Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi's Jerusalem: A Cookbook is Tamimi's take on the traditional Arab comfort food combination of rice, lentils, and onions. Here, the rice and lentils are steamed together with a plethora of spices, pilaf style, before adding the pièce de résistance--a smattering of freshly fried onions. More
Butternut squash is a staple in my kitchen during fall and winter, but I never stray far from simple roasted cubes or a creamy pureed soup when it comes to preparing the gourd. After preparing the Roasted Butternut Squash and Red Onion with Tahini and Za'atar in Jerusalem: A Cookbook, however, I am a total devotee of pairing winter squash with sesame. More
As Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi write in the introduction to Na'ama's Fattoush in Jerusalem: A Cookbook, there is no escaping chopped salads in Jerusalem. Some are simple amalgamations of tomato, cucumber, onion, and lemon vinaigrette, while others, like Arab fattoush, contain a cornucopia of vegetables mixed with leftover pita bread. More
