AANR-SW2230 Jamara LaneHouston, TX 77077
So many adults speak of how being nude makes them "feel like a kid again." They say they regret not having found social nudity at a younger age. The AANR-SW Youth are a group of young nudists who don't know what it's like not to be a kid, and they've already found what others have spent years discovering.
The Youth members of AANR-SW are special. They represent the spirit and the future of social nudism, and they are an integral and necessary part of the organization.

Swiss lab to analyse Arafat remainsComment on this story
Geneva -
A Swiss radiology lab said on Friday it will test the remains of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for polonium poisoning after receiving the go-ahead from his widow.
The experts from the Lausanne University Hospital Centre, which also got the green light from the Palestinian Authority, will travel to the West Bank to take samples from the body, a spokesman for the lab said.
The probe was requested by the Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas after a media investigation found elevated levels of polonium, a radioactive substance, on some of Arafat's belongings.
Arafat's widow, Suha Arafat, and their daughter filed a lawsuit on July 31 in France over the radioactive poisoning claims. They lodged the complaint for murder against persons unknown in France because Arafat died at a military hospital near Paris in 2004. - Sapa-AFP

What's in a Logo?
So Crazy Sunshine has it's very first logo! What do you think of it? Let me take some time and explain what it's all about!
After being told my ads don't stand out enough (Thanks guys!) I wanted a logo that was unique, in-your-face, bright, colourful, and included elements of the 4 main characters. A pretty tough challenge!
So, now for some behind-the-scenes:
- The style of the logo was inspired by Crash Bandicoot 2 and the original Sonic Adventure. These logos have always stood out to me as a kid because of how cool they were!
- The tubes, cables and "Caution Tape" running throughout the logo appear in various background shots throughout the comic.
- The two wings on either side of the logo are trademarks of Shelbie and Lacie's races; the Lumia and Unlit.
- The robotic panel represents Peppermint and her love for machines.
- The hard-boiled Candy nested under the text is the same shape and colour as Candy's hairclip, so you can guess who this represents.
- The two cables running from each wing are leaping from the background to the foreground, which symbolises Lacie being banished from Hell to live on the surface, and Shelbie being sent from Heaven to protect the Surface from, well, Lacie.
- With that in mind, notice the cables under the logo are all tangled up. This represents the state of Lacie and Shelbie's love-hate relationship, with Candy's trademark hairclip nesting on top of where the cables join, symbolising that if it weren't for Candy keeping the pair in order, there would be nothing but chaos!
- Similarly, the four screws nested onto the robotic panel symbolise how thanks to Peppermint and her house, inventions, and income, the four main characters can "stick" together.
- The colour of the "Crazy" text represents sunrise, the start of a new day where you can enjoy a new, crazy adventure by visiting the site.
- The colour of the "Sunshine" text represents the opposite, sunset, in hope that you will come back to the site the next morning for some more!
I always tend to over-think stuff and possibly went a bit overboard this time. Crazy Sunshine is my first webcomic, but I want it to really touch the hearts of the people who read it. Which leads us to one last point:
- The overall shape of the logo, following the two cables at the top, down to the hairclip at the bottom, form a heart shape. Because I love you all for reading and supporting me!

Grief's schooner, the Cantani, had passed the Pillar Rocks at the entrance two hours before and crept up the harbour to the whispering flutters of a breeze that could not make up its mind to blow. It was a cool, starlight evening, and they lolled about the poop waiting till their snail's pace would bring them to the anchorage. Willie Smee, the supercargo, emerged from the cabin, conspicuous in his shore clothes. The mate glanced at his shirt, of the finest and whitest silk, and giggled significantly.
"Dance, to-night, I suppose?" Grief observed.
"No," said the mate. "It's Taitua. Willie's stuck on her."
"Catch me," the supercargo disclaimed.
"Then she's stuck on you, and it's all the same," the mate went on. "You won't be ashore half an hour before you'll have a flower behind your ear, a wreath on your head, and your arm around Taitua."
"Simple jealousy," Willie Smee sniffed. "You'd like to have her yourself, only you can't."
"I can't find shirts like that, that's why. I'll bet you half a crown you won't sail from Fitu-Iva with that shirt."
"And if Taitua doesn't get it, it's an even break Tui Tulifau does," Grief warned. "Better not let him spot that shirt, or it's all day with it."
"That's right," Captain Boig agreed, turning his head from watching the house lights on the shore. "Last voyage he fined one of my Kanakas out of a fancy belt and sheath-knife." He turned to the mate. "You can let go any time, Mr. Marsh. Don't give too much slack. There's no sign of wind, and in the morning we may shift opposite the copra-sheds."
A minute later the anchor rumbled down. The whaleboat, already hoisted out, lay alongside, and the shore-going party dropped into it. Save for the Kanakas, who were all bent for shore, only Grief and the supercargo were in the boat. At the head of the little coral-stone pier Willie Smee, with an apologetic gurgle, separated from his employer and disappeared down an avenue of palms. Grief turned in the opposite direction past the front of the old mission church. Here, among the graves on the beach, lightly clad in ahu's and lava-lavas, flower- crowned and garlanded, with great phosphorescent hibiscus blossoms in their hair, youths and maidens were dancing. Farther on, Grief passed the long, grass-built himine house, where a few score of the elders sat in long rows chanting the old hymns taught them by forgotten missionaries. He passed also the palace of Tui Tulifau, where, by the lights and sounds, he knew the customary revelry was going on. For of the happy South Sea isles, Fitu-Iva was the happiest. They feasted and frolicked at births and deaths, and the dead and the unborn were likewise feasted.
Grief held steadily along the Broom Road, which curved and twisted through a lush growth of flowers and fern-like algarobas. The warm air was rich with perfume, and overhead, outlined against the stars, were fruit-burdened mangoes, stately avocado trees, and slender-tufted palms. Every here and there were grass houses. Voices and laughter rippled through the darkness. Out on the water flickering lights and soft-voiced choruses marked the fishers returning from the reef.
At last Grief stepped aside from the road, stumbling over a pig that grunted indignantly. Looking through an open door, he saw a stout and elderly native sitting on a heap of mats a dozen deep. From time to time, automatically, he brushed his naked legs with a cocoanut-fibre fly-flicker. He wore glasses, and was reading methodically in what Grief knew to be an English Bible. For this was Ieremia, his trader, so named from the prophet Jeremiah.
Ieremia was lighter-skinned than the Fitu-Ivans, as was natural in a full-blooded Samoan. Educated by the missionaries, as lay teacher he had served their cause well over in the cannibal atolls to the westward. As a reward, he had been sent to the paradise of Fitu-Iva, where all were or had been good converts, to gather in the backsliders. Unfortunately, leremia had become too well educated. A stray volume of Darwin, a nagging wife, and a pretty Fitu-Ivan widow had driven him into the ranks of the backsliders. It was not a case of apostasy. The effect of Darwin had been one of intellectual fatigue. What was the use of trying to understand this vastly complicated and enigmatical world, especially when one was married to a nagging woman? As Ieremia slackened in his labours, the mission board threatened louder and louder to send him back to the atolls, while his wife's tongue grew correspondingly sharper. Tui Tulifau was a sympathetic monarch, whose queen, on occasions when he was particularly drunk, was known to beat him. For political reasons—the queen belonging to as royal stock as himself and her brother commanding the army—Tui Tulifau could not divorce her, but he could and did divorce Ieremia, who promptly took up with commercial life and the lady of his choice. As an independent trader he had failed, chiefly because of the disastrous patronage of Tui Tulifau. To refuse credit to that merry monarch was to invite confiscation; to grant him credit was certain bankruptcy. After a year's idleness on the beach, Ieremia had become David Grief's trader, and for a dozen years his service had been honourable and efficient, for Grief had proven the first man who successfully refused credit to the king or who collected when it had been accorded.
leremia looked gravely over the rims of his glasses when his employer entered, gravely marked the place in the Bible and set it aside, and gravely shook hands.
"I am glad you came in person," he said.
"How else could I come?" Grief laughed.
But Ieremia had no sense of humour, and he ignored the remark.
"The commercial situation on the island is damn bad," he said with great solemnity and an unctuous mouthing of the many-syllabled words. "My ledger account is shocking."
"Trade bad?"
"On the contrary. It has been excellent. The shelves are empty, exceedingly empty. But-" His eyes glistened proudly. "But there are many goods remaining in the storehouse; I have kept it carefully locked."
"Been allowing Tui Tulifau too much credit?"
"On the contrary. There has been no credit at all. And every old account has been settled up."
"I don't follow you, Ieremia," Grief confessed. "What's the joke?—shelves empty, no credit, old accounts all square, storehouse carefully locked—what's the answer?"
Ieremia did not reply immediately. Reaching under the rear corner of the mats, he drew forth a large cash-box. Grief noted and wondered that it was not locked. The Samoan had always been fastidiously cautious in guarding cash. The box seemed filled with paper money. He skinned off the top note and passed it over.
"There is the answer."
Grief glanced at a fairly well executed banknote. "The First Royal Bank of Fitu-Iva will pay to bearer on demand one pound sterling," he read. In the centre was the smudged likeness of a native face. At the bottom was the signature of Tui Tulifau, and the signature of Fulualea, with the printed information appended, "Chancellor of the Exchequer."
"Who the deuce is Fulualea?" Grief demanded. "It's Fijian, isn't it?—meaning the feathers of the sun?"
"Just so. It means the feathers of the sun. Thus does this base interloper caption himself. He has come up from Fiji to turn Fitu-Iva upside down—that is, commercially."
"Some one of those smart Levuka boys, I suppose?"
Ieremia shook his head sadly. "No, this low fellow is a white man and a scoundrel. He has taken a noble and high-sounding Fijian name and dragged it in the dirt to suit his nefarious purposes. He has made Tui Tulifau drunk. He has made him very drunk. He has kept him very drunk all the time. In return, he has been made Chancellor of the Exchequer and other things. He has issued this false paper and compelled the people to receive it. He has levied a store tax, a copra tax, and a tobacco tax. There are harbour dues and regulations, and other taxes. But the people are not taxed—only the traders. When the copra tax was levied, I lowered the purchasing price accordingly. Then the people began to grumble, and Feathers of the Sun passed a new law, setting the old price back and forbidding any man to lower it. Me he fined two pounds and five pigs, it being well known that I possessed five pigs. You will find them entered in the ledger. Hawkins, who is trader for the Fulcrum Company, was fined first pigs, then gin, and, because he continued to make loud conversation, the army came and burned his store. When I declined to sell, this Feathers of the Sun fined me once more and promised to burn the store if again I offended. So I sold all that was on the shelves, and there is the box full of worthless paper. I shall be chagrined if you pay me my salary in paper, but it would be just, no more than just. Now, what is to be done?"
Grief shrugged his shoulders. "I must first see this Feathers of the Sun and size up the situation."
"Then you must see him soon," Ieremia advised. "Else he will have an accumulation of many fines against you. Thus does he absorb all the coin of the realm. He has it all now, save what has been buried in the ground."

St. Botolph Club
The St. Botolph Club was founded in 1880, a golden period in Boston, a time when art, literature, music, architecture, clubs and public affairs were all in bloom.
Many of the eminent individuals in these fields were original members of our Club. As one of our Club historians has put it, "all the stars of the morning, the very early morning, sang together."
Under the temporary chairmanship of John Quincy Adams, the name of St. Botolph Club was chosen, after the VIIth century abbot around whose monastery in the fens of East Anglia Botolph's Town, later corrupted to Boston, sprang up. Botolph became patron saint of Boston, England and his spirit latterly migrated to the new city in Puritan New England. He was known for his kindly spirit and good humor, attributes we continue to celebrate.
The Club's first members were a diverse lot. Some were luminaries of letters, such as William Dean Howells and John Boyle O'Reilly. There was Henry Cabot Lodge, then better known as author and editor than for his political career; publishers Henry Houghton and George Mifflin, editors/writers John Bartlett and the many-faceted Edward Henry Clement. Artists there were then and later: Frank Hill Smith and John Singer Sargent, whose famous portrait of Mrs. Gardner was exhibited at the Club amid some stir; Daniel Chester French, sculptor of the Abraham Lincoln statue. H.H. Richardson was among the architects; even the clergy were represented by the enthusiastic Phillips Brooks, though we lost a great preacher Edward Everett Hale who withdrew to find "more congenial company" when the Club (providentially) refused the W.C.T.U.'s request that we embrace teetotalism. Men of affairs were there: Henry Lee Higginson, Leverett Saltonstall, and James Storrow; for Academia there were Charles W. Eliot of Harvard and the great historian, Francis Parkman who became our first president.
The Club fervently espoused the Impressionists during their wars with the Academy, culminating in the famous exhibits of the work of Claude Monet, many of whose paintings were loaned by Club members. Sunday afternoons were beguiled away with quartets from the Boston Symphony. Periodic Club Nights continue to provide forums for intellectual and social, as well as cultural exchanges.
After some further contemplation, and under inspired leadership, women were invited in 1988, and have brought their enlivening influences on the house and company ever since, to our great rejoicing. Since that time the Club has waxed fruitful with much membership participation in our programs: the book group, mini club nights, Monday lunches and the like, remembering always that beyond being theatre, gallery, restaurant, and concert hall, we are a club, as our constitution proclaims, "for the purpose of promoting social intercourse among persons connected with, or interested in the arts, humanities and sciences," all under the kindly influence of the good Saint Botolph.

Grilled zucchini hummus.
- Filed Under
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Makes about 2½ cups
1 large zucchini (about 1 pound)
¼ cup roasted tahini (sesame seed butter)
3 to 4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Heat a grill to high. Use an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs to lightly oil the grill grates.
Trim the ends from the zucchini, then slice it in half lengthwise. If the seeds are large and watery, use a melon baller or small spoon to scrape out and discard most of the seeds from the center of each half. It's not critical to get them all. If the inside of the zucchini appears firm and the seeds small, you don't need to scrape them out.
Place the zucchini on the grill, cut side up, then reduce heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes, or until just lightly browned and starting to get tender. Set aside to cool.
When the zucchini has cooled enough to handle, place it in a food processor. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika and salt. Process for 1 minute, or until very smooth.
Serve immediately or chilled. The hummus will thicken slightly as it chills.

It was with a great hope that I read an NPR story this weekend about Little Donkey Farm, the first Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm in China. As has happened in the U.S. and other parts of the world, China's youth are moving away from the country and into cities for higher paying jobs and better opportunities. What this means is better living through chemistry for China's farmers who are using millions of tons of synthetic fertilizers and other modern technologies to grow enough food to feed the world's largest population. As this technology abounds, so too do food safety threats and environmental perils.
So you can understand why it was refreshing to read about a Chinese graduate student, who after working on a CSA farm in Minnesota, was inspired to start her own in a remote village northwest of China's capital. The farm is completely organic, and according to NPR, more people in China are seeking organic food. The CSA program has grown to a whopping 700 members. Little Donkey Farm's success has been followed by more than forty additional CSA farms sprouting up in China indicating that as with other western trends, many of China's citizens are looking to return to their roots.
I'll eat this week's Full Belly share with our friends at Little Donkey in mind.

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, two of Hollywood's brightest young stars, have put their former Los Angeles, CA, love nest on the market. Shortly after the couple's divorce, they took the next step in their separation and put their amazing 4bed/3bath up for sale. It will be hard for the former couple to say their goodbyes to the house's beautiful views of West Hollywood and the Pacific as well as their exclusive walled garden and outdoor bath. Their move can be a positive step towards closure in their relationship.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A judge has ordered a Louisville woman to prison for 35 years in the death of her 2-year-old son, who was left inside a sweltering car for nearly 12 hours.
The Courier-Journal (http://cjky.it/Q0Eaa7 ) reports that according to KidsAndCars.org, the sentence for Mollie Shouse is believed to be one of the longest in the country for such a case.
Jefferson County Circuit Judge Olu Stevens told Shouse at the sentencing Wednesday that she had to take responsibility for the death of Kenton Brown on May 21, 2011. Shouse's lawyer and mother pleaded for a more lenient sentence. She will be eligible for parole in 20 years.
Shouse was convicted last month of wanton murder after leaving Kenton to die in her car while she was passed out on drugs.
Her lawyer said an appeal was planned.

A Haunting In Georgia In Canada?Goon
This shouldn't really come as a surprise considering how often films are shot in Canada but with a title like A Haunting In Georgia.. doesn't it just make sense to film it in Georgia? Well none the less according to the Winnipeg Free Press A Haunting in Georgia will be filmed in Winnipeg.
Now this is one of the many projects that Ti West was attached to direct. But he is currently going full steam ahead on The Innkeepers. So what does this mean for A Haunting in Georgia? Only time will tell. If you haven't been keeping up with this one check out the synopsis below:
A Haunting in Georgia is the chilling story of four-year-old Heidi and her imaginary friends Mr. Gordy and Con. As Heidi reveals mysterious details about the two, her parents become concerned... could her playmates be more than make-believe? When the rest of the family begins experiencing terrifying phenomena--waking with deep gashes on their bodies--it seems there's little they can do to stop the escalating nightmare.

Just loved it would do it again. Just one slight little thing - dessert could be better - one little cupcake just didnt cut it.
Stunning. Wonderful. Really! Four friends embarked on a sunset dinner cruise. It was a total joy from start to finish! The crew was simply the BEST! They were kind friendly and very attentive. The scenery was breathtaking and dinner was scrumptious! Would highly recommend. What a beautiful night to share with friends. Thanks!
This dinner cruise was amazing. The crew was awesome and the food was really good. We didn't have to ask for a drink. The captain was very friendly and easy to talk to. We will do this again when we are in St. Maartin.
Thank you for booking us this cruise.
exceeded our expectations, crew was excellent, boat was very clean, food buffet dinner was great, appetizers and drinks were special and not expected. We have recommended to our friends who travel
Bob Harper
Simply put a lot of fun - a very enjoyable evening - the food was great and the crew top notch !
Excellent crew and wonderful time, we had a blast! This was definitely a highlight of our visit to Sint Maarten and we will absolutely do it again when we return!
Had a great time! The crew and the food was very good, worth the money.
Mom of 4
My husband and I did this dinner cruise and it was great. The crew worked their behinds off for everyone on board. The sail around the island was beautiful, the rest of the people on the boat were all very nice, the open bar was a plus, and the food was excellent. If you are ever in St. Maaretn/St. Martin, this is a must do. The crew of the Tango are the best and they work hard to make sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest. Thanks for a wonderful night!
The dinner cruise was very relaxing and the dinner was surprisingly good. We met interesting and charming people on board, including the crew. We were on the water for almost 3 hours. I'd definitely take the dinner cruise again, and again. The one negative (for senior citizens) is the location of the office. It is below street level, so there are a lot of steps to take to and from (no elevators]. If steps are not a problem for you then there are no negative issues.
This was very nice, the dinner at the restaurant was delicious!
Excellent scenery and terrific food !!!!! Good service from crew.
The crew was very accommodating, fun, and provided great service! Constantly making the rounds to see if you needed another drink, any trash thrown away, etc. Amazing food, though the dessert was a little dry. Would 100% recommend this to anyone going to st martin!
The trip was relaxing....good food, music, and staff. Will definitely book again the next time I am in St. Maarten.
This was a really relaxing, informative trip through Simpson Bay and up to Marigot. Our dinner was superb - right on the Marina - excellent food and service. All in all a little different view of Simpson Bay at sunset. Highly recommended!
Very nice sunset cat ride through the lagoon to the french side. Nice calm music, cocktails on board and a little French Bistro/Cafe in Marigot. The food was OK but the ride and the great people we met is what made it so nice. Well worth the price. Would definitely do again !
Lillian C
Very lovely trip, ride was wonderful, crew and food excellent. Would recommend.
Patricia K
I had the Red Snapper and it was excellent. My daughter had the chicken and that too was excellent. We met some nice people and had a great time.
Lillian R
Enjoyed the ride, and the food was excellent.
Great crew beautiful scenery would definitely do it again
great sunset and food. Crew was efficient. It was an older group (which was fine) but the captain tried to make everyone hoot and holler. Instructions about what documentation to bring were incorrect.
The sunset cruise was lovely. Met some very nice people, the dinner was good and the crew was friendly.
The cruise was great and the food was really good. What makes the trip are the crew of the Tango. Great job guys! Would do it again tomorrow!
Had a great time on this outing but folks Groupon adds nothing to this equation. You can get the same tour for the same price on the Island and then you can pick the day you want and not go out if it's windy, rainy, or you just don't feel like going that day.
Wonderful sunset cruise. Friendly crew and fabulous dinner in Margot..
My husband and I enjoyed the cruise and the dinner very much. It is something you have to do when you are in St. Maarten.

Rangers get the point after Taylor team talk
Posted: November 13, 2012|
MANAGER Mike Taylor earned his corn at half-time after some key changes saw Cullompton Rangers come back from two goals down to win their first point since his arrival.
After a bright start from Cully, the hosts went ahead after a Luke Warmsley own goal, followed by a Glen Squires strike.
Along with a stern team talk, Taylor introduced Jack Towill for Paul Dugard, and goals from Marcus Pethick and Ryan Leverton levelled the match.
"I wanted to attack them from the start and we came out of the blocks well, but once we conceded that took the wind out of our sails and, fair play to Falmouth, they jumped on that and were all over us," said Taylor, whose side host Bovey Tracey tonight (Tuesday).
"At half-time I read them the riot act, changed personnel and changed the formation a bit.
I asked for a goal in the first 10 minutes and, on 55 minutes, we scored, and we proceeded to absolutely destroy Falmouth in that second period.
"It was disappointing not to walk away with three points but we got a late equaliser and that shows the fight in the team."
Witheridge manager Chris Vinnicombe was far from happy, despite seeing his side make it four wins from four in a thrilling win over Torpoint Athletic.
Steve Ebdy and Dan Thompson put Withy 2-0 up, only for Shane White to hit two goals to level the scores. Ebdy made it 3-2 before Karl Curtis and Jamie Dirrane both saw red and Torpoint's Tom Hall made it 3-3.
But Vinnicombe's men hit back straight away through an Ebdy penalty to win the match.
"In the second half the referee started making silly decisions and their players got on his back and focusing on what he was doing and we got sucked into that," said Vinnicombe. "Jamie Dirrane then got punched in the face and ran screaming to the referee and he sent him off.
"I told the lads afterwards that we just need to focus on what we are doing and not what the opposition are doing."

We are pleased to have him join Dr. Andrew Jahoda to provide the most up-to-date procedures to help those suffering from urological conditions such as urinary tract infections, stone disease, and sexual dysfunction and reconstruction.
Dr. Le cares for his patients through the full realm of treatment, recovery and beyond. He does his best to focus on wellness, offering advanced treatments based on the latest evidence to alleviate his patients' suffering. To him, the physician serves as the role of educator and partner by guiding and explaining a patient's urological concerns and available treatment methods with the utmost compassion and care.
Dr. Le chose to specialize in urology because he's able to use the latest science and technology to treat his patients and build a relationship over many years. He is specifically interested in sexual dysfunction and reconstruction, and can perform minimally invasive surgery to decrease postoperative pain and speed recovery time.
In his free time, Dr. Le enjoys hiking, playing tennis and practicing martial arts. He is also active in mentoring and teaching at colleges and medical schools.

On the series of pictures of WN 150 003 where it is standing for pictures after its completion, with a 300L drop tank attached, why do the two sides of the fuselage appear to be painted differently? The left side looks like it has a pretty straight and even line between #76 and the top color, while the right side looks very mottled.
Were the pictures simply taken on different days?
And is the air intake left in bare metal, or is that just an effect of the quality of the photograph?

Chestnut Ridge fire company installs security cameras
Recent events have led members of the Chestnut Ridge Volunteer Fire Department to install cameras overlooking the fire hall parking lot, President Bob Fry reported at the monthly meeting of the Cook Township Supervisors.
Fry said people have been pulling into the parking lot at night, drinking beer, then tossing empty bottles, cans, cases and food bags out onto the property.
He also noted the fire company and the Cook Township Community Center were both unable to use designated dumpsters, finding them full with public garbage that he says should not be placed in these receptacles.
Additionally, Fry said drivers have pulled into the municipal building parking lots to spinout, making donut-shaped skid marks on the pavement. Fry commented that this has been ongoing, though some cars have been identified and the parties reported. He said the cameras would be positioned to view the entire parking area of the municipal buildings in an attempt to identify more of these joy riders.
In other news:
• Fry reported that in spite of losing a day and a half to weather, the fire company raised approximately $19,000 from the annual Stahlstown Firemen's Fair, after expenses were calculated.
• Seal coating of township roads will begin Sept. 3 and will run until Sept. 4, weather permitting. Supervisor Richard Umbaugh said he had hoped to be finished with the project already, but the recent weather conditions prevented the work. "We're a month behind," Umbaugh commented. "I wanted it done before school began, but it didn't work out. Mother Nature didn't cooperate."
• The Cook Township Community Center Car Show is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 25. Registration is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost id $7 for car entries and $10 for vendors. For more information, call Jim Roadman at 724-771-5436.
The next meeting of the Cook Township Supervisors is 4 p.m. Sept. 4, at the Cook Township Municipal Building, located at 1716 Route 711, in Stahlstown.

Amir Sharanpuri and Adam khan chughtai both of them were standing outside the girl's house. Amir pressed the bell. They were waiting for them so the door was opened swiftly. The man who opened the door he was aged. He invited them to come inside. He guided them towards there drawing room. They entered and sat on the futon. Amir was sitting quietly and Adam was monitoring the room. There were many quranic verses were hanged on the walls. At one corner of the room there was aquarium and inside the aquarium multicoloured fishes were hovering. At one corner there were few black and white photos in were framed in wooden frames. The drawing room was carpeted but the carpet was tattered and damaged from many places and from some places the floor was visible. There was cupboard as well and which had some books and Adam was unable to read their titles because he was very far. In the meanwhile that aged man who opened the door for them, he entered with a lady. Amir and Adam stood up for their respect. Those gentleman and lady said together, "sit down please".
They sat again on sofa that aged man broke the ice and said, "Who is sharanpuri among you"?
Amir said swiftly, "it's me. I am sorry my name is Amir Sharanpuri and he is my friend Adam khan chughtai". He grabbed his hand and pressed it and continued, "my brother, friend and bazurgh (elder and respectable person), for me he is everything".
That aged man introduced himself and said, "My son, my name is shamsuddin sheikh. She is my wife. We have two daughters, one is married and other is still waiting for compatible match" (as he said his wife pinched him so he changed the track and continued, "What I mean to say many people came but we have given permission to our daughter to select the person after all it's her life".
Amir and Adam said collectively, "yes off course, it should be like that".
During the conversation they came to know that sheikh sahib came to London to get diploma is accountancy and decided to stay here. He wanted to go back but the company where he was working they didn't allow him to go back. He must be very hard working and efficient.
While they were talking, you can't girl but she was a lady, she must thirty or above thirty, she was wearing shalwar qameez and she wrapped herself with dopatta (big scarf kind of thing), she entered in drawing room carrying tea trolley with biscuits and other food stuff. She said hello to everyone and then she said Salam lekum which was asalam-o-alaykum. After making tea for everyone she sat in the corner quietly.
Adam thought for a while that either he is Pakistan or in London. The girl wasn't very beautiful but wasn't bad at all. During this period sheikh sahib was talking with Adam. Amir didn't say anything, he was quiet. The girl's mother addressed her majazi khuda (virtual god), excuse me, I think if boy and girl sit in a separate room and discuss if they like because it's their life".
The girl's mother took Amir and her daughter in a separate room so they can talk privately.
This was Adam's first experience that he came with someone for asking the hand of someone's daughter. He felt that he is in some marriage bureau. On the other side Amir was giving his interview.
The girl asked him first question.
"What is your name"?
Amir: gee Amir Sharanpuri".
Girl: my name is Leila bint-e-shamas. What you do Amir in London"?
Amir: gee, this is my last year in M.B.A. (masters in business administration) and you"?
Leila: I have done I.T. I mean, I have done degree in information technology. I am working in a firm".
Amir asked her strange question, "what you think when someone comes to see you"?
Leila responded him humbly, "i don't feel strange because i see new people every day. It's the part of my life. My parent wants me to marry someone".
Amir said, "You can find someone here. Why a Pakistani, who hasn't got permanent stay in England. Who is here for studying and his status is different than you people. The one who hasn't got any future until yet"?
Leila said, "you are very right, I can marry anyone but (she laughed in a very strange way, it sound like that that there was less happiness and more agony in it) I can't marry to anyone. I can't marry against my parents will".
Amir said perplexedly, "Miss Leila you are born here".
Leila responded him calmly, "it's true that I am British citizen, according to law nobody can force me but our culture and civilisation stops us or you can say my parent's culture and civilisation stops them. Our parents ran away from their country due to economic problems when their children born here they started lamenting for their culture and civilisation. If they love their culture and civilisation norm and traditions, than they should leave their country, their norms and traditions, culture and civilisation. The people who have male kids they aren't ashamed of this society, but the people who have female kids they don't like this culture and they started believing that European society vulgar and obscene. Although, what I believe that there couldn't be any man of Asian society who hasn't been to red light area, the same thing does a girl than they realise that they are Muslim. They remember their culture and civilisation. I know neither our parents nor we are the culprit of this cultural schism but we are the one who suffer a lot. We spend our whole life on the horns of dilemma. At one place we have to follow Pakistani culture and on other side we have to follow British or European culture. It's true, our certain cultural things are good and few things they have better than us. Like European juvenile age is very colourful and in Pakistan old people live in peace and harmony, European money and Pakistani facilities".
Amir thought that he touched her wound. Amir was a little bit confused. He wanted to change the topic so he said, "can i ask you a personal question if you don't mind"?
Leila said, "why not, you can ask me any question".
Amir just said, "You".
Leila said swiftly like he knew what will be the next question, "you want to know why i am not married until now. The reason is that that i can't marry where i want to marry. When i completed my 'A' levels, all of us went to Karachi. I am sorry i haven't told you that my parents are from north Naziabad. We have two bungalows there. One we have rented out my uncle lives in other bungalow. So i was telling you, my parents wanted me to marry with one of my cousin but you will be shocked to hear that even though i was British citizen, none of my cousin accepted. This is like ten years old story. All my cousins had their girl friends. My parents came back discontentedly. So like this i kept myself busy in my studies".
Amir was very frightened and nervous. He asked her, "what about British born Pakistani guys"?
Leila said, "my parents believe that the guys who are British born, they drink alcohol and they keep their relationships with white girls as well after marriage".
Amir said courageously, "people do drink alcohol in Pakistan as well. What's the problem"?
Leila said, "These things you explain to my parents. By the way Amir sahib why you want to marry with me"? (This phrase she said in an exclamatory way).
Adam was a little bit mortified. He said, "The things".
Leila didn't allow him to complete his sentence and said, "I know what you want. You want have, leave to enter stamp on your passport".
Amir wanted to elucidate and clarify his situation so he said, "it's not like that, you might have heard about Karachi's political problems".
Leila, "but i have that the things are getting better".
Amir was agreed what she was saying so he said, "Its true things are getting better but where i live the situation is still critical".
Leila asked, "Where you live".
Amir responded, "I live in Kharadar".
Leila said, "You live in the heart of Karachi".
Amir said enquiringly, "have you seen Karachi"?
Leila said, "I adore Karachi, i love that city whatever it has".
Leila took a little pause and continued her conversation in ironical and satirical way, "you must love Karachi but the problem is that you don't want to live there".
Amir was confused and baffled. He didn't what he should say. He controlled himself and said, "It's not the truth, my parent wants me to marry where they want but i want to live my life the way i want. So i want to marry here. When they will come to know that i am married they will stop bothering me and although they will be exasperated and annoyed but at last they will forgive".
Leila said sardonically and ironically, "If your sister does the same thing what you will think of it"?
Amir said, "I don't mind. Everyone has his own life and he is allowed to live the way he wants to live".
Leila said, "These are all bookish things. The real world is different".
Amir convincingly said, "I am very broad minded about these matters".
Leila wanted to check Amir's broad and open mindedness so she said, "if you see your sister doing French kissing right in the middle of the street with some boy, will you be able to tolerate it although you must have seen many boys and girls doing in the streets. You must have done many times. You can do it because you are a man"
Amir's condition was very bad like somebody has sucked the whole blood from his body. He didn't realise that he will face this situation. When Leila saw that Amir isn't saying anything she continued the conversation, "Anyway you are lucky my parent didn't check your height and they haven't taken the test of your Urdu and English. The people who came before you, they have checked their teeth as well. As they know that i am getting old and so now they are little bit lenient. Now they say that i can find some guy on my own. Now everything depends upon me, anyway if my parents like you than i won't mind marrying you. It's like television, chair and other household things which you need, for me same is the case for having husband. Okay Allah hafiz; if i said something wrong please forgive me. It's my habit now because on every Sunday my parents invite someone. I never said something like but today i couldn't stop myself. I have said what i wanted to".
When Amir was leaving the room it's was nearly impossible to for him to leave the room. When he left the room, is head was down face was weird. As he entered in drawing he said, "Lets' go Adam".
Shamsuddin sheikh said, okay my son we will phone you whatever we will decide, anyway everything depends upon our daughter. She is the one who will decide. You are okay for us but (he was looking at Amir's height)".
He didn't complete his sentence; Amir took the permission and came home. Adam asked him many times but he didn't say anything.
It has been two years that Adam was living in London. Police never checked or controlled him. Nobody asked him either he is legal or illegal in London.
Whenever he had day off he has been to some historical or tourist place to see. He had great desires to see things in Turkey, Yunnan and Italy but he never told anybody but here in London he saw all those places what he wanted to see. He has been to National Gallery, Tate Gallery, Buckingham Palace, London Bridge, Hayward Gallery, Saint Paul church, Westminster Abbey, parliament house, Tower of London, Madam Tassaud Museum, British museum, Big Ben and Victoria and Albert Museum.
Adam had a chance to see Charles dickens house where he stayed from 1837 to 1839. He wrote three famous novels in this house, Oliver Twist, Pickwick Paper and Nicolas Nickelby. Other than that he has seen the houses of John Keats, Karl Marx, Mohan Chand Gandhi, D. H. Lawrence, Shelley, Leigh Hunt and William Makepeace Thackeray.
When Adam came to know about Crystal Palace he got shocked. In 1851 a fair was inaugurated in Hyde Park. The most beautiful thing in that fair was crystal palace. In 1851 from May to October six million people have visited this palace. There was fire in this palace in 1936 so this palace was converted in to ashes. Now you can see this monument only in photos.
Other than this royal festival hall was built in 1951. As London was famous for historical building on the other hand new things were constructed as well like telecom tower which is 180 metre high and it was inaugurated on 1964. Lloyd palace is a modern building this was designed by famous architect Richard Robert. It was opened for public in 1984. The Canada tower is the tallest building of London and it height is 250 metre. The charring cross's building is new as well and it has been constructed across the Thames River.
As the Muslim's population was increasing in London so they needed mosques as well. Two mosques are very famous, one is Jammea Masjid Brick Lane (central mosques brick lane) and other is in Regent Park.
Brick lane's mosque's building was built in 1743 but it was Jews synagogue and it was converted into mosque in twentieth century. At the entrance gate of this mosque is still written in Latin, "Ombra Sumus". Lots of Bengalis live in this area.
The biggest mosque of London is called Jammea Masjid London or Regent Park mosque. This mosque is in between trees. This mosque was built under the supervision of Sir Frederic Gibbard in 1978. One thousand and eight hundred people can offer their namaz (prayer) in this mosque.
While they were working bajwa told Adam that today we will go to Equinox discotheque after finishing work. Kazmi, sheikh, shirazi and sharanpuri will be there. There friend has came from Pakistan so they want to enjoy this evening. He is the son of some M.N.A. (member of national assembly). They have specially invited you because you are good dancer and tomorrow you are free as well.
Adam said, "It all right but how we will come back".
Bajwa said, "You needn't to worry about it. They have cars. They will give us lift definitely".
Adam and bajwa were knackered due to working hard in the shop but when they saw loads of people in queue outside the discotheque equinox they forget everything and Adam starts moving in queue. At the ticket counter there was very beautiful girl who was fully made up. There were millions of lights here which were sparkling and shining. It must have been mid night. Everything was visible like a day light because it was flood of lights. They bought tickets hurriedly and entered inside. They went to cloakroom and stood in the queue once again. At their turn they have given their jackets and she took one pound each and given them token. They kept their tokens at safe place and entered in the main hall which was dancing floor. There were loads of colourful lights which were blinking and flashing with music. The whole equinox was banging with strident and piercing sound of techno music. Adam was wearing black T-shirt and black jeans. As he heard techno music he was out of his senses, he forgot everything and started dancing. It as they were standing in the corner, they heard the voice of sharanpuri. They did hear what he was saying than he came closer to them. He guided them where they dancing. Their sweaters and jackets were in the middle placed on the floor. They were dancing around this heap of jackets and sweaters. Some of them were carrying bear and some of them were carrying coca cola. Adam bought himself bottle of water giving them company. The discotheque was jam pack. Boys and girls were dancing on techno music frantically. It seemed like that that they don't care about this world. This is all because of techno music. Nadeem kazmi came closer to Adam and he said loudly, "if you want to find a girl in discotheque, go to women's toilette because they can't piss in standing position. You will find many outside the toilette waiting for their turn".
Adam started laughing and he thought what kind of person he is. He is very innovative and he has versatile ideas. All of a sudden the deejay played run D.M.C. and Jason Navin's song "It's like that and that's the way it is, check this out". The whole Equinox was waiting for this song. Everyone started showing his talent. Someone was waving, someone was doing knee spin, someone was doing head spin and someone was doing back spin. Adam wasn't very good but he was better than many. He started doing break dance and came in the middle of the dancing floor. He did many steps but when he performed back spin everyone appreciated and clapped for him. While he was dancing a Jamaican came in the middle of the dancing floor. He was very slim and smart. He started his performance. He was very good dancer, Adam had to leave so he left the floor. That Jamaican boy shocked everyone. Finally he did wind mill which is very difficult. Everyone appreciated and praised him. Adam clapped for him as well.
Adam had been to Ministry of Sound (its Europe biggest discotheque apart Ibiza's discotheque on Spanish Island) once with Allahyar Khan. He had good time there and today he was having good time with his friends. Everyone said we get drunk with bear and get drunk with water.
Four 'o' clock in the morning they left equinox and they were dying of hunger. There is mc. Donald few steps far from discotheque. Either its hot weather or cold especially on Friday and Saturday night this part of London is always busy on weekends and mostly at night. Where there is equinox there is another discotheque called hippodrome and Piccadilly Circus's underground station is here as well and on the other side of the road is Leicester square tube station so because of these two main stop this area is always busy.
They ate swiftly in McDonald and took their way to home. Everyone appreciated Adam's dance. They heard about him that he is good dancer but they didn't know that he that much good. All of them were little bit tipsy and they were making so much noise and they were thinking that nobody can hear them. As they switched off their cars outside the house they banged their cars door one after another. One of them opened the main door's lock and all of them entered inside the house. It was nearly dawn and they were able to see things. It was quiet and calm in this part of Wimbledon area so it was very easy to hear their noise very far. Next to them there was some Pakistani who was living with his wife and kids and he very annoyed with them. He used to have argues with them about making noise today when they came he woke up and switched on the light and then he switched off again.
Adam requested to keep quiet but nobody wanted to listen what he was saying. All of them were drunk and tipsy. There next door neighbour banged the wall once but they didn't pay attention finally they went to their rooms and slept there.
The bell was ringing. Adam thought that he is dreaming, he woke up and move the window's curtain it was enough light outside. He thought there must be someone to see them. He went to the main door and opened the door. Three policemen showed their id card and entered inside the house. Adam didn't have time to ask them for search warrant. They scattered everywhere. They started removing quilts and blankets to wake them up. They thought their neighbour complained so that's why they were here. The truth wasn't this. In fact some Asian guy beat up some police man and they found this address on his id. They were searching him. They asked everyone for documents. Four of them were on student visa and bajwa had political asylum. Adam was the only person who hadn't has documents. On suspicious bases they took him and during investigation they found that Adam is illegal immigrant. They kept him in a detention cell which was near to Heathrow airport. Adam wasn't ready for this catastrophe. He never thought of it that he this will happen with him in England. He phoned bajwa from detention cell. He was very exasperated and infuriated and said that why he hasn't told them that he hasn't got documents. We thought you must be on political asylum.
In detention cell they offered him to apply for political asylum but Adam refused their proposal even though they were providing him free legal advisor or lawyer. His friend forced him requested him that don't miss the chance but he didn't listen to anyone. At last Bajwa made his baggage ready and brought everything in detention cell. This was his last rendezvous. Adam had some saving. He thought he will start some small business in Pakistan or if it will be possible, he will marry with Lolita.
Two retired soldiers accompanied Adam up to aeroplane. Adam thought they will leave him in aeroplane and go back but living illegally in England was a crime so it was their duty to accompany him up the border of Pakistan. They have given Adam's passport to pilot and sat next to Adam in the aeroplane. Both of them were very nice with Adam. One of them said, "You would have marry with some Pakistani girl or you would have applied for political asylum so like that you would have chance to stay in England. You know how difficult it is to get British visa. There is always a long queue outside the embassy".
Adam said, "How do you know that"?
So he responded, "One of my cousin he gave expensive gifts to get job in British High Commission in Pakistan. He comes every year on holidays and he tells us different kind of stories".
Adam got shocked after hearing these retired soldiers stories.
Eight 'o' clock in the morning the aeroplane arrived in Rawalpindi and Islamabad's area. Adam had a glance from windows there were small houses and Islamabad was like a patch of land with many small boxes. Aeroplane's speed was lessoning slowly and it was coming closer to runway. It has been five years or more since he left Pakistan and this was his first experience air travel. Before he travelled by road and after turkey he used the illegal way to enter in Yunnan, Italy, France and England. Adam was thinking about his fate and luck that where he had the chance or deportation, he wasn't deported from those countries and from England he never even thought of it but they deported him. He was very happy that he coming home. He will step on his mother land. He won't be afraid of police. Nobody will humiliate him. He will laugh and breathe in his own country. Nobody will say "documenti, papier s'il vous plait" (show me your documents). Over here nobody will say either you are legal or illegal. The aeroplane stopped with a jerk and his imagination got interrupted. Aeroplane was at the corner of the Rawalpindi-Islamabad airport and an escalator was attached with the doors of aeroplane. The passenger started getting off from the aeroplane. All the passenger went to the immigration counter to get their passports stamped and after this they were going to the baggage belt to get their bag but these two soldiers left Adam in federal investigation agency's custody and said good bye to Adam and left him.
They brought him a small room. The F.I.A.'s workers were walking to and fro. Someone was ogling at him some of them were asking, "who he is"? The answer was, "he is from Bartania" (England or Britain). They have deported him. Someone said, "Than he must have a lot of money". One of them said, "They apply political asylum there and disgrace their country". One of them said, "They live voluptuous life there. The alcohol is easily available there that's why when they come back from there they are very healthy and strong".
Adam was sitting there and listening everyone, what they were saying. A guy came and said, "The big officer wants to see you". Adam was bewildered and panicky that what happened to him. He was at his homeland from last two hours and he was still in the airport. Adam followed that gentleman and he took him in a cabin. As he stepped in the cabin, he saw a man was sitting in the cabin without uniform. He was sitting on a chair and his head was towards the pile of files. He indicated Adam with his hand to sit down. He guy who brought him here, the big officer ordered him to get some soft drink or tea with biscuits. Then he addressed Adam, "my son you have committed crime. If you go in details, your case will be more complicated. So do what i am telling you. He typed some numbers on calculator's screen and showed to Adam and said, "You have to give nazrana (baksheesh) and you will be free from here without any problem". Adam glanced at it, twenty thousand rupees. He said, "Pounds will be fine". That gentleman said, "Yes off course, why not. You go to wash room. I will send someone with you. You give him two hundred and fifty pound". Adam looked around, he saw the cameras and he understood everything. That big officer pressed a button which was underneath his table. Adam went with that gentleman who came with bell's voice. He accompanied him up to wash room. Adam gave him two hundred and fifty pound. That gentleman said, "Give me fifty pound as well".
Adam gave him fifty pound too than both of them came to big officer. That gentleman winked his eye, which was the sign of okay. The big officer offered Adam him to sit down. The tea was being served. Adam took tea swiftly and hastily and he wanted to say khuda hafiz but big officer gave him his visiting card and said, "my son if you have any problem, just ring on my mobile number and listen if someone ask you about me just tell them he is my uncle. He was just saying hello, hi. I hope you won't say anything stupid".
Adam was very shrewd and sagacious now. He did what that big officer said. That gentleman came with him and he told everyone that he is A.B.C.'s relative. Everyone has given him way. As he came out, carrying his trolley. It was outlandish and weird scene. There were many men with big moustaches and they were wearing starched shalwar qameez. There were women, kids girls were waving to people who were coming out from airport. Everyone was shouting for his relative. At one corner there were private taxi driver were shouting.
"Hat oay hat ay mayra ay" (stay away he is mine)
Naye oay naye ay mayra ay" (no no he is mine)
"Ao gee bao gee kithay janran ay" (Sir, where you want to go?)
One of them tried his levels best, "hello come my car".
Adam was so confused because they detain him. He forgot to change money.
After seeing certain things Adam felt very strange and bizarre that people were walking at the airport like it was a picnic spot. Same is the case with hospitals in Pakistan.
Adam saw a taxi driver, he seemed like a gentleman. It doesn't mean that other taxi driver weren't gentlemen the reason he selected him because he wasn't shouting a lot. Adam was going towards him, suddenly a boy came in front of him. He was shuffling some plastic cards. He said, "Excuse me do you want to phone somewhere". Adam just wanted to get rid of him so he said, "no i don't need to. I am coming from Lahore". He sorted out like this the situation.
He put his baggage on taxi's roof and sat next to driver. He started breathing at a fast pace. He was breathing in free air of a free country. Over here nobody will ask him, "pind kayrah ay". What is the name of you village or "picho kithay day o" where you from? He was sick of all these phrases.
Taxi left the airports environs and vicinity. The light poles, eclectic wires and the scenarios around him were wacky and uncanny. He started thinking that when he left Pakistan this place as it is the way it was before. There was no change in it. He didn't like the traffic system. It was unorganized and undisciplined. Nobody was following his lane. All cars were giving horn each other to get way. On the other hand in Europe if someone gives you horn, it means you break some traffic rule or you made some mistake and he gave you horn as a curse or indication. Sometime if someone gets marry, all the cars with couple they klaxon. If someone is switching on and off the head lights of his car, it means there is some kind of checking or there is some speed control camera so he should control his speed limit.
Adam thought many times his taxi driver will hit some car but it didn't happen. There taxi was very near to Punj Sarki patrol pump (pentagonal road's petrol pump). The taxi driver followed Adam's instruction s and turned his car in alley way and he stopped the car in front of his house. There was creep sound of breaks and finally he was at home.
Adam didn't have Pakistani currency so he gave ten pound to taxi driver and him said, "bao gee give me hundred pounds". Adam started thinking, what kind of person he is, to earn hundred pound i have to stand on foot for ten hours for one week, which means sixty hour and then i get hundred pound. Above all i have to hear boss's taunts as well. This gentleman how calmly said; give me hundred pounds like they are hundred rupees. Adam forced him to get ten pound and took his bag from taxi's roof. The taxi driver was very annoyed he was mumbling something, might be cursing him. He starts the taxi and went away.
In must be afternoon. There was no one in the street. Adam pressed the bell of his house. There was no respond. He placed him suitcase in front of his house and sat there. He thought many times that go to kharal sahib's house than he thought he should go to najma begum's house but it wasn't nice. He started thinking while he sitting on his suitcase that he has been all around the Europe and he again there where he has started his voyage. All the houses in the street were reconstructed except their house. He and daowd left home together and daowd nearly achieved his goal but Adam didn't find his destiny. He was very tired of this long travel so while he was thinking, he slept on suitcase.

As the weather turns and we recover from holiday bloating, we can settle in to some nice seasonal eating. Nothing says cozy on a brisk day like grilled cheese and soup for lunch. What's that you say? Hard to get when you work in an office downtown? Never fear, Spicy Monkey Soup Company is here for you.
If you haven't explored the wonders of the French Market at Ogilvie Station, you are missing out. They've got great options for all sorts of days, but Spicy Monkey is definitely one of the highlights. They have an ever rotating menu based on seasonal availability and, well, whatever they feel like making.
They serve wonderful fresh soups. They always have tomato soup and vegetable broth on hand, and a ton of add-ins you can throw in to customize your bowl, including pasta, vegetables, meatballs, and more. They also offer daily soup specials like clam chowder, split pea, or spicy gumbo. Yum!
To go alongside your bowl of deliciousness, grab one of their signature sandwiches. I'm partial to the Evil Fish, which is just a glorified tuna melt, but they also are the only eatery in Chicago to offer the Trust Me. This crazy idea of a sandwich is provolone and mozzarella melted with homemade blueberry jam. Yeah, they know. That's why they call it Trust Me.
No matter what happened at the office to get you down, it's nothing a little Spicy Monkey can't fix. Give it a shot.
Spicy Monkey is located in the Chicago French Market at Ogilvie Station: 131 N. Clinton Street.
