Sundried Tomato Paste
Most of us use tomato paste in our cooking, this version is sundried. It can store on the shelf and the taste is richer as it is sundried.
25 kilos tomatoes cut into quaters - handful of salt
Place the cut tomatoes into a large container and sprinkle with the salt sit this in the sun for a couple of days until all the water has been drawn out. Get a sieve and rub this mix through you should only be left with the skins. Using a large tarp or sheet of plastic pour this mix onto it - make sure it is in the sun. (you will probably need to lift the corners of the tarp up so the tomato mix wont run off) You will see the water will evaporate and you will be left with a darkening tomato paste. When the water has all gone it should be a nice dark colour and firm to touch-not dried like jerky or a rollup. You can take all this mixture and store. ? have stored mine for up to a year and had no problems ? say up to a year as we ate it but it will store longer.

Ah tonight, tonight was a most excellent night. For one, I didn't have to cook. For two, I probably downed somewhere around 1500 calories in one sitting's worth of prime rib, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and oh, pumpkin cheesecake. But don't worry about it. For three, my kids love Whitney and Ethan's house, there are trucks and movies about trucks, and Van screaming with joy, and we always eat like kings when we are there. It is good to have found your salvation when it comes to couple friends, even better when you can hang out interchangeably on an individual and family level because it gets weird when one member of the group is less likable and then you have to overcompensate for the weak link and that's just too much work. AmIright? Not everyone can appreciate the humor in these parts. The only way it could get better is if we lived closer or if one of us was independently rich and could float the other with some extra cash (or a trip to Europe?), but I am happy with what we have and do not desire to jinx it. I wasn't even pissed that I lost the group rock-paper-scissors battle and had to change Triple's bombed out diaper, not a bit. No party is complete without some extreme rock-paper-scissors going on.
After we left I did some phone time with two of my other number one lady loves. One on the drive home and the other after the babies were situated in bed. I love all the labies in my life, they make me feel glowy and happy. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY. I hate the term GNO or any sort of reference to a "girl's night". Never do I think "man I just need a night with the girls", because that's just not my thing. I do, however, have a big crush on my favorites. You know who you are. Girls night soon? HAHAHAHAHAHA! No.
And now as usual I am up too late sitting in retrospect, writing to you, dear internets. But more for me because someday my kids will read this crap and be like "man, mom really was a nut job". Yes children, a nut job who chose well in the friend department and loved food more than most other basic necessities in life, and you too of course.
Now you know.

Climate change study paints a grim picture
Editorial aired May, 9, 2014 on WPTZUPDATED 4:40 PM EDT May 09, 2014
Green Up Day has come and gone for another year. By all accounts it was another good effort – but in light of other environmental news this week – we'll need a whole lot more than one day a year to slow down what's happening to our climate.

Supporters of Public Transit are invited to join Bicycle and Pedestrian advocates at a drop in meeting to review the town's draft Bike and Pedestrian Master plan on Wednesday, December 5th. from 5:30 to 7 pm, at Mount Pleasant Town Hall, 100 Ann Edwards Lane. Since most transit riders walk to their bus stop and many riders take the bikes along using the front mounted bicycle racks, functional pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure is necessary for transit to work East of the Cooper.
Hungryneck Straphangers is encouraging transit riders to attend and plans to hand up copies of some of it's recent reports to the town for review. Those wanting more information can review the Draft Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan online or contact Kevin Mitchell, (843) 884-1229.
Mount Pleasant Town Hall is served by both the #40 Trans Mount Pleasant and #401 East Cooper Connector CARTA Bus lines and the timing of this meeting should allow everyone to be able to take the bus to and from this meeting should they wish to do so. Trips on the CARTA system can now be planned using Google Transit on your desktop computer via the www.ridecarta.com website, your Android smart phone using the standard mapping app and other internet connected devices.

Mass. man charged in fatal accident in NH
Speed and alcohol appear to factors in crash, says police chief
A Massachusetts man has been charged with negligent homicide for his role in a collision that killed a woman in New Hampshire.
Claremont police arrested 29-year-old Luke Garlinger of Mansfield, Mass., on Wednesday.
Police say the pickup truck being driven by Garlinger was speeding on Main Street in Claremont on Sunday. The truck crossed the center line and hit a minivan.
The crash killed the driver of the minivan, 42-year-old Shellie Blaisdell of Windsor, Vt.
Garlinger was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday.
Police Chief Alex Scott tells the Eagle Times a preliminary investigation shows that both speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.

Waggoner, DG, Sokolik, IN (2010). Seasonal dynamics and regional features of MODIS-derived land surface characteristics in dust source regions of East Asia. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT, 114(10), 2126-2136.
AbstractAtmospheric mineral dust is an important component of the climate system; however, representation of dust production in the climate models poses significant challenges. Satellite remote sensing has the potential to aid in determining the surface characteristics of active dust source regions that are of importance to dust emission modeling. This study uses data from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in conjunction with soil texture to investigate linkages of spatial distribution of surface characteristics related to dust emission, and their dynamics, at the seasonal time scale. In addition to standard MODIS land products such as surface albedo and NDVI which are strongly linked to dust emission, we introduce a roughness index (RI) and an arid soil surface index (ASSI) to aid in land surface characterization. Three regions of northwestern China known for dust emission, the Taklamakan, Badain Jaran, and Gurbantunggut Deserts, are examined for spatial and temporal changes of surface characteristics during winter-spring-summer transition February-July 2005. A new methodology is proposed by introducing regional masking derived from MODIS Band 10 surface albedo. The analysis demonstrates regional unique temporal and spatial characteristics in the 2005 seasonal transition for these areas. Seasonal modes of response are clearly present. The soil texture correlation results demonstrate that clay fraction has a consistently high negative correlation to albedo, as does vegetation. The analysis also demonstrates that RI is a dynamic characteristic changing both with season and on much shorter time scales. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Trash to Treasures is an appropriate name for the rummage sale the Antioch Rivertown Jamboree committee is hosting this month, as it has also been the goal of the committee to shine a light on the true treasure that the river town is while resurrecting its jamboree.
ARJ President Betty Smith said she remembers a time when she could turn the TV on and would get excited just to hear the weatherman call out Antioch on the news. But these days, she said, "There is so much happening in Antioch, so much negative stuff."
Smith added, "For us (ARJ), there are so many good moments in Antioch -- there are so many good things that are happening in Antioch -- we want to turn the light bulb on to that."
During a recent council meeting, Antioch Mayor Wade Harper was able to weigh in on the ARJ's announcement that it's currently in the planning stages for a revival in 2015.
He told those in attendance, "We are always proud to have events that show our community pride and bring our community together."
Smith said the Rivertown Jamboree made its debut in Antioch 28 years ago, and while the two-day festival has not taken place in a few years due to the economy, ARJ has been far from sitting on the sidelines.
"We've been slowly building ourselves up financially so that we can do this," Smith explained, then laughed a bit. "It's like that little train, it might take us a little while, but we can do this."
The train she is talking about are all the events that have served as the fuel over the past few years to keep ARJ chugging along. Fundraising events that encourage family and friends to go out for a "fun" time, like bringing the high-flying comedic acts of the Harlem Ambassadors to town, playing Bingo in the Park or partaking in the annual ARJ crab feed.
Despite their efforts over the past few years, Smith said they will probably have to scale down the event to a single day rather than two, but even at that, ARJ is still looking at a price tag of $50,000 to put on the event.
"We still need the support sponsorship; we still need the community to rally around this event," Smith said. "We still need those kinds of things, but our energy never stopped working toward having the event."
As far as how much they've raised, Smith would only say, "Right now we see the light of day -- we are going full-steam ahead with this.
"Our committee loves Antioch -- we want to promote it," Smith said. "It's a great, great town to live in."
The next fundraising stop for ARJ is the Trash for Treasures rummage sale on Nov. 9. The event will take place in the ARJ parking lot at 301 W. 10th St. in Antioch from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Booth spaces (two parking stalls each) are available for rent at $25 per space. To reserve your rummage vendor space, call 925-757-0972 or visit www.rivertownjamboree.com.
What: Trash to Treasures rummage sale
When: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 9

BARRY COUNTY, MI -- Police have identified a man who fled from a trooper in a traffic stop near Hastings, then died in a crash, as a 68-year-old Battle Creek man.
Dale Everett Kissinger died when his pickup crashed into a tree off M-37 near Campground Road shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday, May 24.
A trooper stopped Kissinger amid reports that he was driving erratically and had plowed over a bunch of mailboxes.
But before the trooper could exit his cruiser, the truck took off again.
The pursuing trooper told dispatchers the truck was weaving into opposing traffic at about 40 mph before finally speeding up to 70 mph and ultimately going off the road. The truck hit a tree.

Tyra Banks has impersonated 15 of the most iconic supermodels to ever walk New York Fashion Week as part of a new exhibition that will open in New York City on Monday evening.
On Sunday, she gave us a sneak peek at her transformation into three of them: Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, and Cara Delevingne. I think you'll agree she's done an amazing job of capturing each model. Take a look!
"It was amazing to be physically transformed into my idol, @CindyCrawford... #Fierce mole, hair & all!" Tyra tweeted.
"Hid my booty & boobies like a pro, for a pro - all to look & pose just like #SuperModel Kate Moss!"
"4 hours of hair & makeup later, I've become ubermodel @Caradelevingne! Fierce & love to #LA & #London."
In addition to Cindy, Kate, and Cara, Tyra said she also transformed into Linda Evangelista, Kate Upton, Karlie Kloss, Jerry Hall, Lauren Hutton, Iman, Twiggy, Brooke Shields, Claudia Schiffer, Grace Jones, and Carmen Dell'Orefice. I guess we'll have to wait for the exhibition for those pics!
What do you think of Tyra's transformations so far? Which one is the best?

Bone marrow transplantation is an emerging therapeutic modality in aplastic anemia, immunodeficiency disease, and acute leukemia.1 The total care of patients undergoing this procedure requires attention to and an appreciation of the multiplicity of stress-producing factors (technically called stressors2), emotional issues, and responses associated with this procedure.
An initial stressor is the decision to proceed with bone marrow transplantation. Though emotional acceptance may lag far behind, the patient and family are immediately thrust into a confrontation with the critical nature of the illness. In addition, environmental stressors are numerous. The current reliance on isolation techniques places the patient within an extreme environment for a protracted period. Physical contact is restricted; each day is highly regimented, and intense nursing care promotes infantilization. The ability of the patient to accept such "enforced regression" appears, in our judgment, to influence the efficacy of clinical treatment. This ability may be a function

PARKERSBURG - City council Tuesday will consider an ordinance to charge owners of rundown, vacant properties, the addition of up to eight assistant fire inspector positions and a pair of bond ordinances for the Parkersburg Utility Board totaling up to $14.7 million.
Prior to the council meeting at 7:30 p.m. in council chambers on the second floor of the Municipal Building, three committees will meet in the executive conference room.
The council agenda includes eight resolutions - four which deal with aligning rules and regulations to the police and firefighter pension and relief funds with state law - and the first readings of five ordinances.
Two of the ordinances relate to funding for the utility board. One is for the $12.7 million wastewater treatment plant upgrade that is part of the board's efforts to meet federal Environmental Protection Agency requirements to eliminate by October 2020 wet weather overflows infiltrating the sanitary sewer system. The ordinance authorizes up to $13.7 million in bonds in case the cost is higher than the estimate.
"We haven't bid it yet, so they put it in for a million more," said Eric Bennett, utility board manager.
The other ordinance authorizes the acquisition of vehicles and equipment not to exceed $1 million in bonds. Again, Bennett said the amount authorized is higher than what's expected to be needed, about $750,000.

Parkersburg City Council Meeting Notes
* 6 p.m. - Personnel Committee, executive conference room.
* 6:30 p.m. - Finance Committee, executive conference room.
* 7 p.m. - Public Works Committee, executive conference room.
* 7:30 p.m. - City Council, council chambers.
* After council - Urban Renewal Authority, council chambers.
"We've got several pieces of equipment to be replaced in the next couple of years, and with cash flow issues, it just made sense to lease-purchase, which we don't typically do," he said.
The recent sewer rate increases narrowly approved by city council were designed, in part, to cover the plant upgrade. Bennett said the vehicle and equipment purchases will not require additional rate increases.
The vacant property and fire inspector ordinances are part of Mayor Bob Newell's multifaceted plan to address slum and blight. The former would establish a registry of vacant houses in the city and establish a fee of $100 a month after the first year of vacancy to offset the costs the city incurs in securing and maintaining such properties.
Councilwoman Sharon Lynch said it seems like a good idea to her.
"People have just moved out and not taken care of their property and leave it to the city" to deal with, she said.
At 6 p.m., the Personnel Committee, chaired by Lynch, will meet to discuss the ordinance that would establish eight assistant fire inspector positions to help alleviate some of the burden on the code enforcement department.
"Council has a few questions that are still unanswered that we'd like to have answered before we vote," Lynch said, although she did not know the specific issues members were wanting to address.
Council also is expected to vote on a resolution allowing Newell to enter an agreement with the West Virginia Small Business Development Center to establish an office in the city building. The city would pay $15,000 of the salary, plus travel expenses, for the business coach assigned to the office, while the state would pay $40,000.
"This one is to help retain and expand existing small businesses, which is extremely important," Newell said, noting an existing office located at West Virginia University at Parkersburg would deal more with education and start-ups.
Following the Personnel Committee, the Finance Committee meets at 6:30 to go over budget revisions for city departments and discuss funding for a potential sidewalk project. The Public Works Committee is slated to meet at 7 p.m. to consider a proposed utility line warranty program offered in partnership with the National League of Cities. The committee tabled the item in May after City Attorney Joe Santer raised questions over the terms of the agreement.
After the main meeting, council will reconvene as the Urban Renewal Authority to consider bids for three properties.

God is Closer to You than Your Self
One's own existence seems self-evident....
And yet there really isn't any proof -
not objective proof anyway -
that you exist.
And if you try to prove your existence to others, it raises the question of whether or not other people exist - at least whether they exist anywhere other than within the realm of your own perception.
The God question is easy.
The Self question is another matter entirely. The question of the self is not only easy to dodge, but the whole world is organized around the avoidance of this very question - Who am I?
The world is organized around avoiding the question of self.
And as with the world, so too with the individual. Your identity has been conditioned by the society around avoiding the question of self. An individual who is self realized is a threat to the power structure, to the so-called order of the place. Therefore, we exist by mutual agreement with one another, that no one is to disturb the sleep.
So, if the question of whether or not God exists is something that is only a matter of curiosity, I would recommend that you leave it alone. If you pull on that thread, the very fabric of your entire perception will unravel. You will never be able to go back to being the way you were.
And there are so many answers that are knock-offs, imitations of the real thing. And they are sleek, shiny and delicious. And what's more they are popular. Inherent in these counterfeit answers is the promise that you will never be alone, never be an outcast, never feel alienated. You and I will never have to face our own mortality, or the truth of our mediocrity without the opiate rush of a solid doctrine within arm's reach.
I could point you towards a belief system
and this whole matter could
be done with.
I have heard it said that one can go countless lifetimes without ever hearing the word
To be incarnated into an existence where one asks the question,
is a truly remarkable thing
Is there proof that God exists?
Is there proof that I exist?
Is there proof of anything?
Is there anything?
Is there a questioner
from the
being asked?
Please Note: the tendency of the mind to categorize and dismiss all that has been said thus far.
What is the lie that holds it all together?
There are those who have sat in silence, repeating this very question quietly under their breath, "What is the lie? What is the lie?" They were pioneers. Their journey of inquiry has contributed to the landscape of human awareness - have given depth to the collective consciousness.
And we are living in a new age. We are living in a new era. Those sages who sat in solitude, in quiet contemplation in caves in the Himalayas have done the footwork and we are the inheritors, the beneficiaries, born into a Golden Age of understanding.
Some of us have the luxury to ask such a question,
"Does God exist?"
You didn't come here and ask if there will be enough grain to feed your family. It's all been handed to us. There is no heavy lifting involved - just the simple act of letting go - of releasing ourselves from the lie.
The answer to this question
is written invisibly
between the lines
of every sentence
you have read
thus far.
You are playing hide and go seek with yourself.
Don't cast me,
or she,
or anyone else,
in the role of someone who has an answer
is right there before you
all around you
Nothing is easier to prove
than the existence of
GOD (you)
Atman is Brahman,

This is my first experience on your website. I believe I may understand you, my brother.
Jack - All I can offer you is this: Don't look to spiritual leaders and don't look to god in the form of a deity.
Hi Eric, still banging on about god I see.What strikes me is the connection between your past and the present. For me, this connection between my past and my present is the only significance, not god. I'm doing in the present what I did in the past and most of my energy is expended in trying dispel these behavioural drivers I unconsciously assimilated so long ago, just like you. I learned about god from perverts and liars, that is, my parents, my teachers, the vicar, the police, judges, magistrates, the media, politicians. All terribly earnest, but liars. So I learned to lie to myself, becoming infected, as it were. For you, what seems important is for you to find a way to make being born again not a lie, to reinvent the meaning and thus resolve the conflict within you. That is what this blog is really about, linking back to your parents. And, as a youngster you were a leader in the big lie and now you have come full circle, still a leader in the lie of god.I know you sincerely believe what you have found is true - and for you it is true . The lie you are telling me is by proffering your god as truth for me also. Does it make a difference to you if others believe in your god or not? Proffering your god so relentlessly to others through this website makes me wonder if you might not copy your parents' behaviour and proffer just as relentlessly to your own children. These are questions that are very important to me and my own conceptions of god which I do not feel a need to offer you, since you have your own god with whom you seem quite content.
Can you find a way to lead to god by offering yourself as an example of positive caring and understanding of self? That would be an extremely valuable service which I sadly lack the personal resources to undertake. My behaviour, particularly in relationships with others, is the extent to which my personal god is true for me and therefore I focus on the truth about how I am in relationship to others, rather than taking what others have written about god and what I have personally experienced of godhood, as you do in order to lead others to your own god . I'm looking for qualities in myself of unconditional love, of understanding my self and others, of mastering my sexuality, my emotions, like anger and jealously, for instance, in the hope of removing or, if you like, outgrowing my destructive attributes. And thus that is what I look for in spiritual leaders. So far, I am still struggling with my own stuff and as far as I can see, no one I know seems to be doing much better. When you talk of 'growing inside', what exactly do you mean, please?
Jack Rainbow
One other comment I would wish to make: In Quantum Physics we find that photons are of a dual nature. This also appears to be true of atoms as well. Experiments have indicated that by our observing these sub-atomic particles, we, the observer, influence whether they act as a wave, or as a particle. Since atoms also are affected this way, and as matter is composed of atoms, then it may be safe to say that we influence matter. Therefore, independent proof does exist which confirms that indeed, we do exist. If not, then who or what does create this influence?
A 200 pound human being, generally, has approx. 2 pounds of micro-organisms within, and without their body. Some are necessary to sustain life; performing functions such as digesting or contributing to digestive processes. 10's of thousands of them demand no larger space then the head of a pin. For the sake of argument, let us suppose some communicate, which they do; that they congregate in communities, and so on. When we consume nourishment, and liquids, some of them kneel down, and praise god for the necessities of life, as they've no idea from whence comes these staples of life. Furthermore, when contemplating the comparative vast expanse of their universe, unable to comprehend it's size, they decide infinite best describes the stomach, your stomach, within which they live out their lives. The point is: Does god exist for them? Yes, taken within this context, we are god to our flora. One must wonder then, are we perhaps micro-organisms in the gut of a god?
Alexi - Enlightenment Purgatory only exists if one believes Enlightenment to be something of a finish line, a destination. Are there "Enlightenments" along the way? Are these Enlightenments fixed in time, or bound by it? If we are not fixed in time, or bound by it, and if Enlightenment is simply the realization of one's true nature, then how can Enlightenment purgatory exist? That which we seek is that which looks out through our eyes. All else is theater.
Great blog. In my experience, most Atheists subscribe to the God of science without the acknowledgement that "scientific fact"changes over time and with new discoveries. (Progressive?) atheists take a more neutral view, some may even challenge common "society lies" but I love the simplicity of asking "What is the lie that holds it all together? What is the lie?" Isn't the answer to that question is formed the minute the question is formulated? Some may view that as an ah-ha moment that sets you free. I have found it to be one where I squeeze my "eyes" shut, whisper "impossible" under my breath, and cling to what I have been taught to be true. I've wondered over the past few years if perhaps there is such thing as an enlightenment purgatory, but the ironic thing is, if there was, I already know it was one of my own creation
Donald - Don't ever stop. It's an unpopular message, but a vital one!
Eric, you're not the only one, obviously. I've tried warning people for years too. But far too many people consider hard, rational thought too difficult.

The LinkedUp Veni Competition has now opened, and is inviting submissions.
The first of three consecutive competitions, the Veni Competition is calling for you to submit an innovative and robust prototype or demo that uses linked and/or open data for educational purposes.
The idea is to mash up the vast amount of material and data that can be used in education. You might design a tool for combining datasets and visualising them in interesting new ways, or perhaps develop a search engine that combines search results from different libraries.
If you are looking for further inspiration, please see our use cases, curated from high profile organisations such as the Commonwealth of Learning.
The total prize fund for 'Veni' is 5.000 EUR, however these prizes are only one reason to participate. It is also a fantastic opportunity to work with the large, documented repository of linked datasets that the LinkedUp team has catalogued and structured, including data about open educational resources, course content and university facilities.
The LinkedUp team will also be providing dedicated support, including technical support with code. A designated developer blog contains information such as 'cooking recipes' and 'how-to-guides'.
Participants will also be able to showcase their ideas and solutions to a wide community of researchers and practitioner, and will provide the opportunity to meet interesting people from across the public and private sector. After a review process invitations will be made to the teams behind the best applications, offering the opportunity to present their submissions at OKCon in Geneva, on 17 September 2013.
More information can be found on the Challenge website.
What are you waiting for? Join the Challenge today!
Deadline for submissions: 27 June 2013

Definition of dust jacket in English:
dust jacket
A removable paper cover, generally with a decorative design, used to protect a book from dirt or damage.
Example sentences
- You don't say whether the book has its original dust jacket, but if it does and it is in good condition then the book is worth about £35 to £40 as it is likely to be a first edition.
- You have to pound the pavement in search of sources, burn the candle at both ends to write engaging sentences, and worst of all, you have to read the whole blurb on the dust jacket of a book for that deep, deep background.
- He responded by pointing to a photo on the dust jacket of his book.

Dallas' best local chocolate shops
Halloween is right around the corner, making it the perfect time to enjoy a fall favorite food – chocolate. Sure, you can head to the supermarket for a bag of Hershey's, but Dallas has a few great chocolatiers for a gourmet fix.
There may not be great chocolate shops on every corner, but these artisan-crafted offerings shine. You don't need to wreck your diet to enjoy these shops, either. With most of these treats, just a bit of the decadent dark chocolate is all you'll need.
1. Chocolate Secrets
Head to Oak Lawn for artistically painted dark chocolate bonbons paired with great wine and live jazz. The chocolate at Chocolate Secrets differs somewhat technically from most truffle-makers, but the quality ingredients and beautiful flavor combinations are unparalleled. The chocolatiers here pair innovative flavors, like passion fruit and Earl Grey, with top-quality dark chocolate. Most bonbons are made in-house, but some are imported directly from France. Choose a tasting plate with 4 or 5 chocolates to share, ask the staff for their wine pairings, and sit back to enjoy the atmosphere.
2. Kate Weiser Chocolates
A veteran of Chocolate Secrets, Kate Weiser struck out on her own and plans to open her own venture, Kate Weiser Chocolates, in Trinity Groves earlier this year. While at Chocolate Secrets, Weiser honed her skills making some of the most beautiful chocolates in the city. Visitors to Trinity Groves can anticipate delicious bonbons, toffees, and other confections in homey yet sophisticated flavor combinations. Kate Weiser Chocolates may be a new addition to the city's chocolate scene, but this chocolatier is anything but green.
3. Dude, Sweet Chocolate
Between 2009-2013, Dude, Sweet Chocolate was named the best chocolate shop in the city, and for good reason. The chocolates at Dude, Sweet may look unassuming, packaged mostly in brown cardboard boxes. This is likely due to the explosive flavors within. Chocolatier Katherine Clapner is very good at putting a quirky twist on fudge, infusing flavors like blue cheese and wild mushrooms into some of the best chocolate in the world. At Halloween, Dude, Sweet Chocolate sells anatomically correct hearts, skulls, and other themed goodies that are both creepy and delicious.
4. CocoAndre
Also awarded best chocolate in Dallas by a number of publications, CocoAndre creates some of the best traditional truffles in the city from their home base in North Oak Cliff. Master Chocolatier Andrea Pedraza is at her best when making these truffles in both traditional and exciting new flavor combinations. Yelp! reviewers compliment CocoAndre's coffee and hazelnut truffles and the shop's willingness to encourage patrons to try delicious free samples. The molded chocolate is also impressive here. Delicious dark chocolate is poured into one of the shop's 2000 molds to create everything from high heel shoes to Santa Claus, and can be embossed with logos or personal messages.
Chocolate is one of the finer things in life, and these Dallas chocolatiers have the best of the best. Fair warning, though – an experience at one of these great chocolate shops can make Hershey's seem completely inferior.
Amy McCarthy is a Dallas-based writer and editor.

Dead End in Norvelt
by Jack Gantos
Mr. Huffer
Character Analysis
Mr. Huffer owns the funeral parlor that sponsors Jack's baseball team, and, more importantly, he's Bunny's dad.
Gantos (the author) really has fun with Mr. Huffer's description, making him seem like the perfect person for the job: his suit is "the color of black lungs" and "spongy" (5.2), and he smells like "pickled onions" (5.2). Are you charmed, yet? Wait until you hear that he also has a limp handshake and smells like rotted meat—on top of the pickled onions.
In a nutshell, he's a creepy dude and everything about him just screams death. No wonder he doesn't seem very sincere when he comforts people at funerals, resembling a human teapot with his "[c]lassic one-hand-on-hip mournful pose while his other hand reached out to pat someone on the shoulder" (9.97).
We quickly start getting the idea that this "humble, sad-man" pose is just pretense (23.30). Turns out, Mr. Huffer is actually just in it for the money. Take cremations: he hates them, since they don't make his business nearly as much money as a funeral with a "casket and all the pricey trimmings" (8.34).
To boost his income, Mr. Huffer starts selling the unoccupied houses (unoccupied because their owners are recently deceased) to the town of Eleanor, WV. He plans to re-locate there, because the town has more people—which means more people to die. Oh, and he's also got plans to build a development called "Hufferville" on the empty land left behind in Norvelt.
Like Jack's Dad, Mr. Huffer represents the more capitalistic, individualist mindset, and not the more communitarian spirit upon which Norvelt was founded. He doesn't actually do anything illegal, but you definitely get the sense that he's not too concerned with the community. And the biggest problem? He has no sense of history. He thinks Norvelt is just a "museum," and, well, he doesn't see the point of museum. He'd rather just sell off all that old stuff—as long as he could get a good price for it.

If you've got a young family, a hatchback is likely to be top of your list of priorities – and the latest Volkswagen Golf is our favourite. More than 57,000 found homes in the UK in 2009, which put it in fifth place in the best seller's list – nearly 10,000 ahead of the Peugeot 207 in sixth position.
The classy looks, premium badge and capable chassis help to explain why the car has proved so popular. But there is another option – so if you can't stretch to the Golf or prefer not to follow the crowd, the Skoda Octavia is a ready-made substitute. It is built on the same platform as the VW, but with more room all-round.
The Octavia is 360mm longer than the Golf – most of which is behind the rear wheels. This means it has a much bigger load capacity – 585 litres to the VW's 350 litres. The German model closes the gap when you fold the rear seats, as it trails by only
150 litres, but the Skoda easily wins the space race.
Further forward, you won't feel short-changed by the quality on offer inside the Octavia – it's not far behind in terms of fit and finish. But it's a tough call when it comes to exterior styling. Many buyers will prefer the younger and fresher look of the MkVI
Golf; the Skoda is a far more conventional design.
As the two cars are so closely related, it's not surprising they share many of the same engines. The biggest-selling Golf is the five-door SE with the 1.6-litre TDI engine – and this same diesel can also be specified in the Octavia.
Performance and fuel economy are almost perfectly matched. And while the Skoda pays for its larger dimensions and weight disadvantage against the clock, CO2 emissions are identical, so you won't have to shell out any more in road tax than you do for the Golf – a year's disc sets you back £35 in both models.
What's more, the Elegance version of the Octavia features dual-zone air-con, a premium stereo with a six-CD changer, cruise control, parking sensors and 16-inch alloy wheels.
Hit the road and the Skoda isn't quite as sharp, but it's easy to drive, and has a comfortable ride and safe and secure handling. It trails on residuals, though – model for model, the VW will retain more of its value.
Two extra years of breakdown cover compensate for Octavia buyers – opt for the Golf, and you get only a 12-month package. And if anything does go wrong with your Skoda, the firm's network finished second only to Lexus in Auto Express's Driver Power dealer survey last year. This is on top of its billing as best brand overall in our annual reliability and satisfaction poll. Of course, choice is a key part of the latest Golf range's appeal – there's a three-door, five-door and an estate. The Skoda is offered only as a five-door or estate, although the latter is one of the most practical load carriers around.
Plus, Octavia buyers can get plenty of luxury by opting for a top-spec Laurin & Klement car. Or if you want a performance model, Skoda's hot vRS offers a choice of 200bhp petrol or 170bhp diesel engines, plus striking styling and sharper handling.
As an overall package, then, it's clear that the Octavia is the perfect understudy to the Golf.
VW Golf Mk VI- The UK's 5th biggest seller
It's the family car class leader – but is latest hatch really worth price premium?
The Golf is our favourite compact family car, and with good reason. It offers the best-quality interior in this sector, as well as sharp handling, impressive refinement and excellent comfort – and is a hugely talented performer.
It was crowned Best Compact Family Car at our New Car Awards 2009, and is still winning group tests today. The line-up is huge, and ranges from the entry-level 1.4-litre to the hot Golf R tested in Issue 1,100. Prices start from £14,850, while the latest GTI lives up to the legend of the badge – so it's easy to see why the Golf is Britain's fifth best seller overall.

Tim McGraw Explains Why He and Faith Hill Aren't Jay-Z and Beyonce
Fans won't be seeing more photos of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on social media anytime soon -- and that's just the way they like it.
Fans won't be seeing more photos of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on social media anytime soon -- and that's just the way they like it.
After being challenged by Reba McEntire and a close friend, it was time for Faith Hill to step up and complete her ice bucket challenge for ALS. Hill enlisted her hubby, Tim McGraw, to do the honors.
Rumors have been swirling this week that Carrie Underwood is in talks to headline the 2015 Super Bowl halftime show, and all we can say is, it's about time.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have vocal talent in their genes -- obviously -- and it seems they've passed it on to at least one of their three daughters.
Country's hottest stars helped fans relive CMA Music Fest 2014 on Tuesday night (Aug. 5). Little Big Town hosted 'Country's Night to Rock' on ABC. They interviewed artists and showcased some of the festival's biggest performances.
Coco Chanel said it well when she said, "A woman with good shoes is never ugly." Females in country music are always trying to look their best, and fancy footwear helps them reach their fashion A-game.
Tim McGraw's 'Meanwhile Back at Mama's' (featuring his wife and fellow country star Faith Hill) was a hit before it even debuted at the 2014 ACMs, simply because the couple is so highly revered within country music. In the music video, their public and private lives are juxtaposed, showing the glitzy and glamorous collocated with their low-key home life.
This my friends, is why they call him the king. George Strait shattered the old indoor concert, attendance record at his final concert. The total number in attendance was 104,793, breaking the Rolling Stones 1981 record. How many were at that Stones concert in 1981?
As 2014 nears the halfway point, it's time to reflect on the best of country music. The best songs, the best albums and the best moments of 2014 come from newcomers and superstars. They come from awards shows and reality television. The Best of Country Music 2014 comes from all over.
In some ways Tim McGraw's new single 'Meanwhile Back at Mama's' is a metaphor for what's happening in country music. There's a lot to take in on a day-to-day basis. Flash and thunder steal the show … and then a song like this comes along and hits the reset button.
After being married for almost two decades, Tim McGraw is still captivated by his wife Faith Hill's beauty, and his reaction to seeing her in her 2014 ACMs dress is pretty much the sweetest thing.
The beloved king and queen of country music, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, came together at the 2014 ACM Awards to perform a charming new song, 'Meanwhile Back at Mama's,' which paints a picture of a simpler time when things moved slower.

Coming Up "Hoodrat Style": Nene Leakes On Wendy Williams Names Her Favorite Real Housewives Of Atlanta Castmate [Video]

[springboard src="http://bossip.springboardplatform.com/mediaplayer/springboard/video/bosp007/258/567089/" width="600″ height="400″ /]
Nene's hair looks so natural. Nene is the epitome of what black women (Sarcasm) strive for. You know how she left her husband once she got her own money, has a child in and out of jail with an unseen and unheard of baby daddy, cheated on her husband who took her out of the scrip club, and has represented black women in a positive light on TV. Nene is the new "Normal?"
