Sore Throat Cures
Jul 24, 2016
A sore throat is one of the most common and most frustrating health conditions. While most forms of a sore throat don't pose a serious health threat, the issue is often relatively uncomfortable and even more difficult to treat. We aim to help you cure even the most stubborn health issues, however, so we've created a volume of effective natural sore throat remedies. We'd also like to share specifics about the three most effective treatment options including cayenne, apple cider vinegar, and pickle juice brine.
What Causes a Sore Throat?
Sore throats result from a number of different conditions. Allergies, dry air, pollution, the common cold, flu, mono, and a variety of other environmental factors and illnesses lead to soreness in your throat. The actual ache or pain associated with the condition comes from the irritation of the throat tissue that is caused by these issues.
Why Not Antibiotics?
While antibiotics may have once been an effective treatment option, two factors make present antibiotics ineffective at best and extremely harmful at worst. First off, the majority of sore throat causes are viral infections, so they simply don't respond to antibiotic treatment. Second, antibiotics are so historically overused that many of the bacterial infections seen today are actually resistant to antibiotics, so they do nothing to treat the infections.
What Natural Cures Should I Use to Treat My Sore Throat?
Natural remedies are a much better option. Treatments like cayenne, apple cider vinegar, and pickle juice function to relieve the pain of a sore throat and to naturally heal the issue. As such, you can receive dual relief with a single treatment, and you won't harm your body using them.
1. Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne is a powerful spice that contains a potent amount of capsaicin. This compound is a natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. So, when you take cayenne as a sore throat treatment, it reduces the swelling in your throat tissues and treats the underlying infection.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a treatment that helps heal and relieve. ACV is a naturally acidic agent that helps balance the pH in the body, reducing inflammation and eliminating infection. It also delivers a variety of other vitamins and minerals to your body, so it's a great daily supplement as well.
3. Pickle Juice Brine
Pickle juice contains a unique combination of salt and vinegar. As such, it helps to fight infection and relieve inflammation as well.
Treating a sore throat can be difficult depending on the cause. If one of these options doesn't work for you, try one of the many other reader contributed suggestions we have been sent to us starting in 1999!

Remedies for Sore Throat
Acid Reflux Connection
sore throats and acid reflux!
Here's a tip I'd love to share. Last year I dealt with a sore throat for over 3 months! Finally went to an ENT who put the camera up my nose and down my throat and saw that there was no infection. As it turns out he diagnosed it as acid reflux! So he put me on a reflux regimen and started me on AcipHex which I tried for a week to no avail. Then I tried Nexium out of pocket since it was not covered in my insurance formulary, and in about a day and a half, it was gone! Hope this helps someone!

07/08/2009I am a singer, and had lost my singing voice for about 3 months--no pain--just couldnt' sing. Dr. diagnosed me with acid reflux, and put me on Prilosec OTC. I recovered in a short amount of time. Evidently, when we sleep some of the acid comes up in our throats and harms the vocal cords. Interesting stuff--I didn't even know I had acid reflux. hope this helps!

03/15/2010Vocal help suggestions anyone?
3 months ago what I thought was a discomfort in throat & neck from maybe too much singing is still with me after 4 different antibiotics, numerous tests & 2 scopes from ENT doctors. One thought it was acid reflux due to the inflammed appearance where the oesophagus meets the voice box....10 days on omeprazole made me feel worse . The next gave me anti-inflammatories which seemed to help but once stopped, the raw feeling & sensitivity on right side of throat returned. I cannot even speak for long without a strained feeling, nevermind sing.......any suggestions, this is so depressing.......

03/06/2012I had horrible pain seemingly in the thyroid and hoarse voice today and the last few days. Hard to breathe and swallow. I used one of Ted's suggestions. I put 5 drops of hydrogen peroxide (3%) in a bottle of water 16.5 oz. (approx. 1/2 liter) and a little bit of borax (1/8 tsp. ) I feel 100% better now. Drink this slowly over 1/2 of the day.
Posted by Brice (Sringfield, USA) on 05/16/2007
I've had my fare share of sore throats, and I find that taking one capsule (1 billion count of organisms) of Acidophilus plus one 200mg of Ibuprofen every 4 hours helps with the pain.THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION. This works for me, but may cause further health problems in others. Acidophilus is a probiotic, which means you shouldn't take it with antibiotics. Acidolphilus contains the same Lactobacillus (rod-shaped bacteria) found in milk or cheese. The breakdown of nutrients by Lactobacillus Acidophilus produces lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other byproducts that make the environment hostile for undesired organisms. Acidolphilus is not recognized by the FDA to cure any disease. Ibuprofen helps in reducing the swelling. Ibuprofen is a blood thinner and shouldn't be used with other blood thinners. Ibuprofen has also been known to cause stomach pains and stomach bleeding. If stomach pains occur, drinking milk may help. READ THE DRUG FACTS LABEL.

08/17/2008Acidophilus can actually be taken with an antibiotic and should be taken with an antibiotic. This is why.... antibiotics kill good and bad bacteria. When the good bacteria is killed, it can cause diarrhea or a yeast infection. The probiotic, acidophilus, will help keep the normal flora, or good bacteria intact and help prevent antibiotic associated diarrhea or yeast infections.
Replied by Ellen

03/19/2009Yes I agree, it is a must to take the acidophilus when you are on antibiotic treatment, the key however, is to take it between doses of the antibiotic, for at least as long as you are on the treatment and longer if you desire. If you have been on previous/numerous antibiotics you could take the acidophilus as a daily supplement.
ACV and Cayenne
Sore throats can be really stubborn; it is often difficult to find an effective treatment for this common problem. We looked at many natural remedies, searching for the best one. Finally, we decided that the best natural cure for a sore throat was the "dynamic duo" of organic apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper. Used together, apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper is one of the most effective home cures for a sore throat that we have seen.
ACV and Raspberry Tea
Posted by Lynn (Waterville, Maine) on 08/15/2007
I learned about raspberry tea and started using a cup of warm raspberry tea with 1/2tsp of apple cider vinegar to gargle with and spit back out. I freaked when I saw the gunk it was nasty. If caught in time it gives a nice relief of a sore throat. From time to time I just gargle to keep from getting a build up of gunk. Especially during allergy seasons. I hope this helps as it did for me.
ACV, Baking Soda, Cayenne
Posted by Paul (Melbourne, Australia) on 07/11/2009
Yes the cayenne pepper works wonders. so does baking soda because of its alkalinity. (bacteria love an acidic environment) But I highly recommend putting a roll of toilet paper in the freezer for when you need it, and boy will you need it. I felt like i was giving birth to a marine distress flare on the toilet.
Also something that is of "enormous" help. WARMTH. keep the neck area warm as possible with a large towel. and sleep with it on all night. you'll be amazed at what a difference it makes. White blood cells in your saliva love love loves warmth, and they are more active in a warm environment.
SO WHAT WORKS FOR ME. First gargle apple cider to quickly remove the flem to expose the bacteria or virus, then hit it with baking soda. the baking soda makes the infected area alkaline. then hit it with the cayenne pepper. then wrap up the neck area with a towel and sleep with it on. If that doesn't work, I'll be dammed !Replied by Sundrop881

05/15/2010I would be careful about using the baking soda as a great uncle of mine used it almost daily as an anti-acid and eventually it burned holes in his stomach.
I had a sore throat. I just took my tonic (composed of lemon juice, tomato juice, grated garlic and some hot sauce) with 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper and swallowed when I was on my back. I took about 3-4 sips and now my sore throat is gone and I feel like a human being. Other than my stomach is a little jittery, I feel Okay. My nose is still plugged, but I am working on it with a saline nose spray. Thanks, I can finally do some work now.
Antiseptic Mouthwash
Posted by Jane (Grove City, OH, USA) on 10/14/2008
Listerine. It cures your throat sores immediately, doesn't taste gross, and it makes your breath smell better. Use the amount you usually do for mouthwash rinsing, or if you haven't used it before use about one tablespoon. Gargle it as far back as you can without swallowing it. It really takes away the burn!Replied by Jennifer
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
02/04/2009I used anticeptic mouthwash during the first day I noticed an irrated throat. I used the normal amount stated on the bottle for mouthwash but I made sure to allow it to reach the far back of my throat. It does help it to immediately feel better, but I wouldn't say that it cured my ailment. I have had a sore throat for several days and today I tried both Cayenne, and later ACV straight with honey like a shot. Just now I tried the salt water gargle. All have helped but we will see how fast I recover.Replied by Lea

12/16/2009The Antiseptic mouth wash work slightly for me when I treid this. I think relief in that area the mouthwash was able to reach lasted for a total of 5ish minutes. I have an extreme sore throat which from what I've read sounds like it could be strep or Mono. Though I've had both tests done for it, saddly it isn't either but a bad viral one. Salt Water provided more relief for me than mouthwash.Replied by Emily

07/16/2010I had a really bad sore throat and my friend was supposed to come over later. I read this, ran upstairs, and started to gargle. To be honest I didn't check how much I used, but I would assume it was about two tablespoons. As soon as I started gargling I started to feel better. It definantly worked for me.Replied by Gerald

04/22/2011Listerine will help with a sore throat, but only a little. The reason for that is the fact that you are not swallowing the listerine. So basically you are only treating the upper part of the throat. The other remedys are having you swallow some of the concoction so the entire throat is being treated.
Basically, for any sore throat remedy to be really effective it needs to be something you swallow, and be something that clings to the surface of the throat tissues after you have swallowed so it continues to work even after you have finished gargling/swallowing. Thats why pepper works well.... the particles cling to the mouth and throat.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Whether you just woke up with it or you've felt it coming on for several days, a sore throat is no joke. When we look for and try treatments for sore throats, we want something that's going to work quickly and completely, which is exactly how apple cider vinegar functions. Apple cider vinegar is one of the most effective treatment options for sore throats as it naturally eliminates infection and restores the nutrient balance in the body.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey
Posted by Ssaunders95 (Baytown) on 03/03/2016
I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar with honey and water. I gargled it twice and rinsed with water. It was all I could stand, but I believe it did help. I almost certain I have strep throat. My ears have bothered me more than anything. My throat is red, grey and white. Afterward, it wasn't grey. I am about to do the same with pure lemon juice. I know it is effect in cleansing the body of in bacteria.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Joe (Toledo, Oh) on 11/29/2009
Apple Cider Vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide cure for Sore Throat
The last two times I woke up and had a sore throat coming on strong, I used the following method to relieve it overnight. Do this once in the morning, once in the mid-day, and once before bead. And repeat the following day after throat is feeling better.
1. Use Hydrogen Peroxide 3% (any generic brand) as a gargle, make use to gargle enough to get both sides of the tonsils! You can dillute with equal parts water, just make sure to gargle about a half cup if you do (ex: gargle a little, spit, and repeat until gone)
2. Use Hydrogen Peroxide 3% to clean/disinfect ears. (I read somewhere that most viral/bacterial illnesses start in the ears and that if not treated there will persist for days) Clean ears out as good as possible with cotton swab/q-tip. Take a dropper or use the cap and put a good splash (3 drops or so)of Hydrogen Peroxide in each ear, tilting your head and letting it fizz in your ear for about 2 or 3 minutes (on each side). I read that you should not do this if you have tubes in your ear! You can also use a cotton swab/q-tip soaked in peroxide to clean ears if uncomfortable with the first method (which is preferred).
At this point I like to repeat the gargle just to make sure I got it all.
Lastly, Take 2-3 TBL ACV (preferrably organic but it doesn't matter) and 1 TBL Honey (preferrably raw and unfiltered but it doesn't matter) and add to about 1/4 to 1/3rd cup of water (preferrably warm). Take a few big gulps, and some little ones and get it on tonsils. With last swallow gargle it before swallowing.
This covers and eliminates the infection in the throat, the mouth, and the ears.
I have tested this method twice with success. It is rather inexpensive and works great! And it takes about 5 to 10 minutes 3 times a day. The only nagging problem is the congestion which I just use some vapor rub on my chest, throat, and under my nose to get some relief.

tea remedy for sore throat
My husband did this for me and I was amazed. I have had a sore throat for 3 days. He took a green tea bag, water, a half lemon, 1-2 tbs honey(taste) and 2 aspirin and put in in the microwave for 2 min... when it cooled enough i drank it and Im telling you my sore throat was gone within 20 min.. this is not a cure it will come back but do it every 6-8 hours or so and you will be able to swallow food! its thanksgiving and i spent it bed but at least i was able to eat what they brought home! This also works for cough and fever!! GOOD LUCK!Replied by Pchandra

12/18/2009I think the key ingredient that worked here is the 'husband preparing it with a touch of love' that probably contributed 80% effect to the relief' rest all added to the remaining 20% :)
Aspirin, Salt, Baking Soda
Posted by Freshcougarbabe (St Louis, MO) on 07/14/2009
2 asprins disolved with 1 tablespoon of salt and baking soda in warm water. I get sore throats all the time and I gargle with this mixture and in a day or two my sore throat is gone. Also I tried the apple cider vinegar, then garggling with the salt baking soda and asprin mixture, then garrgled with 1/2 teaspoon of cayeene pepper in warm water and then laid with a warm towel around my next and this really helped me out the last time because my throat was a little more severe than other times. So i suggest that you just play around with combinations until you find the right one for you.
Baked Lemon and Olive Oil
Posted by Tara McDonald (Perth, ON, Canada)
This recipe was given to my grandparents by a spunky 90 year old (or should I say young) opera singer one day while he was digging in his garden. He valued his voice greatly and refused to take any "modern medications" that might numb his throat instead of heal it.
Recipe: 1 Lemon, Good Cold Pressed Olive Oil, Honey (optional). Go around the lemon - poking it with a fork and then put it in the oven (350') until juice bubbles out the holes. Cool. Squeeze the lemon and put the juice in a jar. Add an equal amount of olive oil. Add some honey if you like. SHAKE! Take a small spoonful now and again - like a lozenge.
Baking Soda

I have been dealing with candida mostly in my digestive track for 9-10 years now.In November of 2008 I had to take an antibotic for a surgery procedure at the time which I had an allergec reaction to.Well ever sense then I have had on and off a presistant extremely sore throat. I follow a fairly strict candiad diet outlined in Dr Crooks book. I had a white pustule in the upper left side of the throat.I knew it was due to the fungi in my system so I began a more aggressive program to treet it.I purchased Candida ___ from ___ ____.After taking this for 4-5 days I woke up with a crick in the upper right side of my neck (extremely painful) After a week and still taking it I became much worse (I had to sleep in my husbands recliner for probably 1 1/2 months)I went to see my ND Susan ___ who after looking me over said that the pain center manifesting in my upper right shoulder/neck was my gall bladder maridean. Susan asked what I had been taking lately. I happened to have some Candida ___ with me, she went over the ingredents and with some testing discovered I'd had an allergic reaction to the oregano in the Candida ___.
Needless to say I quit taking that but it took about another month before my system completly cleared and I could sleep in bed again.Ykes!! What do I do now? Finally able to get back on the computer I have sense started taking, Caprylic acid, Olive Leaf extract and Trifala all 3 times a day with other supplements.Took these for 2 months still not much relief. Went on the cave man diet (which constipated me but helped some)At the same time though I was using 1/2 tsp sodium bicarbonate in 1/2 glass water 3 times a day. The sore throat left WOOHOO. I stopped the soda and the sore throat came back in 3 days with a vengence in spite of taking the my supplements. I made up a Turmeric paste used it like a losenge (some relief).
Back to the computer I came across Dr.Simonsini (cancer is a fungus) again. In one of his statements he said he administered sodium bicarbonate by injeation or aresol. HUMMM I have a nebulizer so this is what I did. Mixed 1/4 cup boiled then cooled water to 1 tsp.sodium bicarbonate mix well.I filled up my nebulizer cup with the mixture, turned it on, started breathing the mixture and simply could hardly believe the YUCK THAT CAME OUT OF ME. I usually use collodial silver in the nebulizer but I tell ya the soda mixture worked 100 times better than silver did!!! The first go round I filled the nebulizer cup up twice and just kept getting rid of YUCK. I did this twice yesterday and two times today and doing much better. (I had no idea I had so much infection) I thought it was just a sore throat. I will only use it again tommorrow if the throat flares up. I am also drinking 1/2 tsp soda with some lime now that I found this wonderful site.THIS WAS THE MOST INCREDABLE EXPECTORANT I HAVE EVER USED!!!!!!!!Replied by Tina
Bowling Green, Ohio, Usa
05/11/2010Are you sure you used that much baking soda and water? My nebulizer only holds maybe a table spoon or so of liquid and takes a long time to nebulize what I put in it. It would take a very long time to breath in that much mixture! Please respond soon.Thanks.
Black Currants
Posted by Christine (London) on 03/18/2005
The Lemon and Honey tea worked but only for around half an hour. I have a cure which lasts longer: Crush black currants to get the juice out but try not to get any of the skin in with the juice. Put it in a mug and heat it until it is is hot, but not so hot you cannot drink it. Then just drink your sore throat away! If you are rushed for time then you could use a store bought blackcurrant juice drink such as Ribeana, which works just as well. The soothing is quite long lasting but depending on how bad your sore throat/laryngitis is you may need to have more than one mug. (YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY AS YOU NEED AS IT IS NOT MEDICINE BASED).
Black Pepper
Posted by Mary (Toronto, Canada) on 07/10/2012
I read a lot of feedback about the benefits of cayenne pepper for sore throat on this website and I'm happy to say I tried gargle couple of times a day with black pepper instead, and for my surprise it works as well. It took me about one day for sore throat and 3 for tonsils, no need for antibiotics or other medication.
Black Tea
Posted by Cheska (Dahab, Egypt) on 08/21/2007
This is the most amazing cure! when i got throat infections they would then travel into my lungs and then only antibiotics would cure it, but recently my homeopath told me to make a cup of very strong black tea (2 teaspoons of tea in 2/3 cup of boiling water) then add 1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, when it has cooled a little gargle half the cup, try keep gargling each mouthful for a long time and as deep in your throat as possible then spit all of it out down sink. repeat with other half of cup a few hours later and then again with a fresh cup a few hours after that, you will see the sore throat disappear!

The softwarehouse ARDIS I.S. n.v. is specialised in optimization software for cutting rectangular shapes. In collaboration with the university of Ghent in 1983 our managing director Arnout De Lille started to explore ways of how to optimize the cutting of rectangular shapes for industrial purposes. The result of this research are today the software packages Starter and Basic Cutting, Easy Optimizer and Cutting Optimizer, universal systems that run on PC, in the office or on a machine controller. The optimizer software computes the cutting patterns of lengths, panels and coils. The first Cutting Optimizer was introduced in 1986 on the market in Belgium. Since then the ARDIS products have been developing with one clear goal: keep up with the needs of customers and make the products even more beneficial as technology and production methods change. The global export activities started only in 1991 with highly progressing results.
The software also comes to the end-users as an OEM-system, the software is integrated in other software packages such as 3-D CAD systems, calculation and planning software etc.

Taylor Lautner, Nicolas Cage to star in Expendables 2
Actors John Travolta and Chuck Norris had made to the wish list of Simon West in last July. Recently, the name of Hong Kong actor Donnie Yen was also heard for a lead role in the film been The Expendables 2, but he could not accept it because he still had a number of projects to finish.
Now, Simon West has reportedly added the names of Taylor Lautner and Nicolas Cage to his wish list. Sources also claim that he is also considering the names of Gunmen star Christopher Lambert and Breaking In thesp Christian Slater for the action-packed movie. Source say, "Most offers yet to go out."
However, The Expendables 2 is a sequel to The Expendables. Original cast Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture and Dolph Lundgren are returning to the sequel, while Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger are expected to have bigger roles than cameos. The movie is expected to arrive in theaters on August 17, 2012.

Sojourner Truth in Abolitionists
Sojourner Truth (c.1797-1883), born Isabella Van Wagener, was one of the most famous female African-American abolitionists of the nineteenth century. Born into slavery, Truth was set free in 1827 and took the name Sojourner Truth in 1843. She became an evangelist and a moving public speaker, despite the fact that she remained illiterate throughout her life. Truth was introduced to the abolitionist movement upon joining a utopian community in Massachusetts, and spoke at antislavery rallies and conventions throughout the Midwest in the 1850s. She supported herself by selling copies of her life story, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth.
In the 1850s, activists including Lucretia Mott encouraged Truth to become involved with the women's rights movement. Seeking to enhance Truth's popular image, Frances Dana Gage (a white woman and activist) wrote the "Ar'n't I a Woman?" line for which Sojourner Truth later became famous. The question "Ar'n't I a Woman?" seemed to simultaneously symbolize Truth's race and gender. Gage also wanted to display more formidable writing talents than her rival, Harriet Beecher Stowe, who wrote an admiring 1863 essay about Truth entitled "The Libyan Sibyl." Both white women (Gage and Stowe) were, as historian Nell Irvin Painter writes, "fascinated by Truth and sought to capture her in writing."3 Truth continued to speak at suffragette meetings until her death. She was hardly alone as a black woman in the struggle for abolition and women's rights, but many of her colleagues' names and memories have lamentably been lost to history or—more specifically—left ignored by too many historians. They included Sarah Douglass, Maria Stewart, Sarah Remond, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper.

Doctor Who series 8: Deep Breath spoiler-free review
Peter Capaldi takes over the TARDIS in Doctor Who series 8 episode 1. Here are our spoiler-free thoughts on Deep Breath...
This review DOES NOT contain spoilers.
Inevitably, the arrival of a new series of Doctor Who, not least one with a new Doctor at the controls of the TARDIS, comes coated with a generous dose of goodwill. Certainly at the Cardiff-based world premiere of series 8, there was no shortage of that on show. Streets were lined, autographs were signed, and the moment Peter Capaldi entered the room, it might just have made One Direction turn around and remark "that was a bit loud". The reaction was always more likely to be upbeat than not.
That notwithstanding, few are going to feel shortchanged by Deep Breath. There's a sense that the show has changed a little certainly, yet perhaps the biggest surprise is how relatively quiet much of the feature-length opener is. It might be that it's that extra running time (Deep Breath runs to nearly 80 minutes), but it feels like there's space and room afforded to talk, to put the brakes on more, and to more evenly space out action sequences. Even more importantly, it feels - and that wasn't always the case, particularly last series - that it's the right length for the right story.
Again, you don't need us to tell you that the main attraction is the new Doctor himself, so let's start there. We're strictly spoiler-free here, so we'll go light on the specific details. However, it's fair to say that much of Deep Breath is about a new Doctor finding his feet, his identity and his mind. Thus, whilst David Tennant sat in his pyjamas playing with satsumas, and Matt Smith tried some unusual recipes (and Syvlester McCoy got, well, lumbered with Time And The Rani), Capaldi comes across as quietly broken, and really quite mysterious. He is also, and no bones about this, very Scottish. He's also every bit as good and as interesting as you'd hope.
Granted, off the back of one episode, it's hard to pin down just what his Doctor's going to be. Yet thus far, he doesn't run much, he rarely shouts, and he has amazing eyebrow dexterity. He carries himself more like the Doctors of old, and he's seemingly more interested in doing some proper detective work, rather than pegging it from place to place. Deep Breath does walk a tight line, as it deliberately holds back too much warmth until it needs it. But the slower (and that's slower, not slow) pace, and Capaldi's rich performance are both very big positives.
Arguably, though, this is as much, if not more, Jenna Coleman's episode. Clara has been a different companion for the Doctor, in that she's more than once proven to be one step ahead of him. Here, though, she's just as broken as the Doctor, and Steven Moffat's script calls for some hard acting work from Jenna Coleman to put that across, crucially giving her the screen time to do so. She delivers, not in a bombastic way, but quietly and gradually, building up her performance and the mix of sadness and confusion in her character. It would be fair to say her faith has been rattled, and Coleman - and this is very much a good thing too - is a wonderfully uneven match for Capaldi.
Romance, as has been widely flagged beforehand, is not on the table, either. At least not between those two.
Moffat's script also has a theme of age running through it, and the judgement of it. It's still got some quality laughs - including more than one excellent physical comedy moment involving a certain Sontaran - and it's still very much Doctor Who, with a family audience in mind. There are tips of the hat to episodes and lines of old, and some welcome quality time with the Paternoster gang, particularly Jenny and Vastra.
But then there's the injection of unease from director Ben Wheatley. Known for films he wouldn't be allowed to let his children see, Wheatley proves a strong match for the material, lending Deep Breath a cinematic identity without showing off to do it. Unusual camera angles, holding his shots, and with a sharp eye for character (and, yep, eyebrows), Wheatley brings something extra here. It'll be interesting to see if he holds the same tone for his second episode.
Deep Breath may be a slightly quieter introduction for Peter Capaldi in some senses than people are expecting. Yet it's hard to avoid an underlying confidence that all concerned know they're onto something here. And with some flat out brilliant moments in the last third, there's an old fashioned ethos of putting in the foundations, doing the ground work, and building on substance. As such, the big moments really hit.
You're unlikely to remember too much about the on-the-surface foes of Deep Breath, as fun as they are. But you are likely to take away a good, promising start for a new series, that leaves ceiling room, takes a bit of time getting out of the traps, yet also leaves you yearning to jump in a time machine yourself to spend some more time with the Doctor and Clara.
And to everyone involved in the casting of Peter Capaldi? We think we might just owe you a drink or two.

Paralyzed shooting victim sues Monticello
MONTICELLO — The paralyzed victim of an August 2011 shooting in Monticello is suing the village, a village housing authority and several other government agencies, claiming the low-income housing complex didn't provide adequate security and that police and the county's 911 center blew off warnings that a violent Bloods street gang member was on the premises.
Christopher Santiago, 23, filed a lawsuit Nov. 16 in state Supreme Court, claiming the Monticello Housing Authority, the Evergreen Housing Complex, village police, the county 911 personnel, the sheriff, and town officials were all negligent.
The complaint says officials failed to provide adequate security and surveillance in the complex known for gang violence and drug dealing, and also ignored 911 calls made hours before the shooting from a tenant complaining about a Bloods street-gang member who was later convicted of shooting Santiago.
Santiago, who was visiting people in Evergreen the night he was shot, has hired Brooklyn attorney Beth Schlossman.
Schlossman also filed a notice of late claim, asking the court's permission to pursue the lawsuit.
She wrote that because of Santiago's medical condition he wasn't able to file a notice of claim and came to her long after the required 90-day period to file had expired.
Monticello Mayor Gordon Jenkins called the shooting "a tragic thing that happened" but said police are patrolling problem areas with the goal of reducing violence.
"The police are doing their jobs," Jenkins said.
Daquan Gray, 21, was convicted by a jury of gang assault and five other felonies in the shooting.
Free less than 3 months
Gray had been out of prison for less than three months on a robbery and assault conviction.
According to the complaint, Gray had been banned from the Evergreen complex.
The complaint says an Evergreen resident called 911 several times on Aug. 20, notifying them that Gray was on the property, but no authorities responded.
Santiago was shot early on the morning of Aug. 21, while a group congregated outside.
Gray apparently had no individual beef with Santiago but shot him because one of Gray's gang friends wanted to date Santiago's girlfriend, authorities said.
Gray was ultimately sentenced by Judge Mike McGuire to 65 years in prison, which has since been reduced to 50 years.
Three of Gray's gang associates also drew five-year sentences, and a fourth man at the scene was arrested as part of an FBI drug sweep.
Santiago was hospitalized from Aug. 21, 2011 to Nov. 9. During Gray's sentencing, Santiago wrote in a victim's impact statement that he had no feeling below the chest.

Morrissey's Irish Pub opens in Uptown
MICHAEL RIETMULDER | Updated 3/14/2013
Just in time for March 17, Morrissey's Irish Pub opens on Lake Street.
Manager Paul Crilly is planning an extensive whiskey program when Morrissey's opens on Tuesday.
Photo by JEFF WHEELER
In the past five years, four different restaurant concepts have floundered in the small space that once housed Favor Cafe. But the Lyn-Lake joint's jinx wasn't enough to scare off the owners of the incoming Morrissey's Irish Pub.
"We're Irish," said co-owner Roy Connaughton with a confident grin. "We're about to break that curse."
Two weeks before Morrissey's planned March 14 opening date, co-owners Connaughton, Paul Crilly and Scott Schuler stood in the middle of its 1,270-square-foot seating area. Renovations were far from complete, but Schuler was jazzed about the location's potential. "The space, for all the talk of its curses and whatever, it's got great bones," he said.
Remodeling the room formerly occupied by Restaurant Miami and more recently Viva Brazil and Los Lagos, has been a mix of addition and subtraction. Stripping apart the interior, they discovered rustic wooden beams in the ceiling and a brick wall behind the bar suitable for what chief operator Crilly (an alumnus of downtown Minneapolis Irish bars Kieran's and O'Donovan's) says will be Uptown's first and only Irish pub. Morrissey's will have a small stage and host live music — a mix of traditional Irish acts and singer/songwriters — at least four nights a week.
Despite its name, don't expect a slew of Morrissey tribute acts. The pub's moniker is actually a "tip of the cap" to Crilly's grandfather, not the Irish-blooded frontman of U.K. indie-rock greats the Smiths. "It was a name my grandfather used back in the early '20s," said Crilly, a Northern Ireland native. "He was a commanding officer in the old IRA. He was on the run once or twice, so he used Johnny Morrissey as his alias."
Slated to open just in time for St. Patrick's Day, the pub will open at noon March 17, with live music from 4-8 p.m. including the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band at 6 p.m. ($5 cover). Here's a look at some other St. Paddy's Day weekend happenings.
Kieran's Irish Pub (85 N. 6th St., Mpls.) is throwing a two-day bash, opening at 9 a.m. March 16 for the Team Ortho Get Lucky 7K. Live music starts at 6 p.m. ($5 cover after 5 p.m.) on the main stage, with Irish pipe bands passing through and a heated-tent dance party. On March 17, Erin Rogue, Sweet Colleens, Reverse Cowboy and others will perform from noon until 2 a.m. ($5 cover all day).
Keegan's Irish Pub (16 University Av. NE., Mpls.) is also doubling down on the festivities. The bar will open early for an Irish breakfast and hosts tent parties from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. March 16-17, with performances from the Minnesota Police Pipe Band and Four Pints Shy (March 16) and Erin Rogue (March 17).
The Dubliner Pub (2162 W. University Av., St. Paul) puts on its tent party March 16 from noon to midnight. Gastrotruck will provide food, while Tom Dahill, Paddy Wagon, the Langer's Ball and others perform. March 17's indoor-only party features music from Reverse Cowboy (5 p.m.) and the Two Tap Trio (9 p.m.).
Patrick McGovern's (225 W. 7th St., St. Paul) kicks off its massive tent party at noon March 16. The Minnesota Police Pipe Band will swing through around 1 p.m., with DJs soundtracking the green sea of revelry.
Though its 22nd annual World's Shortest Parade breezes by on March 16 (3:30 p.m.), O'Gara's Bar and Grill (164 N. Snelling Av., St. Paul) is celebrating St. Paddy's Day twice. Live music runs in an outdoor tent from 3-9 p.m. March 16-17, with DJs and other acts indoors from 3 p.m. to close each day.

Lost, Loved and Gained is a story about a young girl Krystal, whose only experience in 'love' is through paid sex with clients.

Of course her ideology is deeply flawed and often extremely dangerous, and ultimately, never rewarding.

Employees at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard will be back at work Monday after being on furlough during the federal government shutdown.
All shipyard employees, including Naval Sea Command, Naval Facilities Engineering Command and base support have been ordered back to work, according to Gary Hildreth, the shipyard's deputy public affairs director.
Other employees should contact their supervisors to see if they should return to work, Hildreth said.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered most of the Defense Department's 350,000 employees back to work Saturday. Hagel cited a law that exempts civilians from the government shutdown if they're contributing to military morale and readiness.

AFL versus NFL: the Super Bowls, part two
Posted by Jason Lisk on December 9, 2009
Earlier in the series, I looked at how much we should take from the four Super Bowls, by looking at historical championship games, and how much the game results deviated from the team regular season ratings. I didn't want to actually discuss the specifics of the game until I had gone in depth on the other evidence. Now, it's time to turn back to those four Super Bowls, and the teams involved. I'll tell you right now that you can find a lot of resources that go very in depth on each of these games and teams, moreso than I have the knowledge or time to do here. I have no personal knowledge of these games, have only seen the highlights, and am going strictly off what I see from reconstructing the play by plays using our Super Bowl play finder.
It does, however, give me an excuse to give a sneak peak at the ratings I have for the AFL and NFL teams of the 1960's. You may have noticed that we added the Simple Rating System ratings to the team pages and standings going back to 1960. My ratings are going to differ slightly from those you see on those pages. My rating tweaks the simple rating system, similar to what Chase is doing with the college rankings. The primary changes between my ratings and what you see on the team pages are:
1) My ratings have a soft cap at 24 points. Any margins beyond 24 points in a specific game are halved. So a 38 point victory would actually count as a 31 point spread in the ratings. This is to reduce the effect of single blowout games, while still rewarding teams that consistently win comfortably. A team with a 40 point win followed by a 10 point loss will have a lower rating than a team with two 15 point wins (assuming equal opponent strength).
2) My ratings exclude end of regular season games involving a team that has already clinched its division. It seems pretty clear to me that teams performed worse in the 1960's when they had nothing to play for. There was no seeding in the playoffs at that time, so once a team clinched a division title, the motivation was simply to be ready for the playoff game. Thus, many of the playoff teams have higher ratings in my system than they do considering all the results.
3) My ratings include the playoff games within the same league (but not the Super Bowl games). The SRS figures on the team pages are regular season only.
4) As a result of 2 and 3, above, my ratings also include a home field advantage adjustment for teams that played an uneven number of home or road games.
The ratings that I am providing today are not adjusted for league, meaning that it is simply a rating compared to average within the particular league that particular season. With all that in mind, let's get to the Super Bowls.
SUPER BOWL I, Kansas City Chiefs vs. Green Bay Packers
It was only fitting that the first Super Bowl would feature a battle between a team forged largely before the AFL's emergence and who had been the face of the NFL for the decade, against a team built largely in competition with the NFL by the owner who spearheaded the new league.
The Green Bay Packers, particular on the offensive side of the ball, were largely built from the drafts of 1957 to 1959, right before the AFL came into existence. In this way, the Packers came of age at the right time and had an advantage over other NFL teams seeking to rebuild a few years later--a large core of football talent accumulated before the AFL siphoned players away. The offense for the 1966 Packers had many players who were there in 1961 and 1962. By 1966, though, the style had changed. Paul Hornung played his last game in 1966 before the Super Bowl. Jim Taylor was a shell of his former dominating self. Bart Starr and the receivers played a more prominent role by 1966. On defense, the Packers had the constant secondary that had been a part of their three prior championships, with Herb Adderley, Willie Wood and Bob Jeter.
On the other sideline, the Kansas City Chiefs had been underachievers for the previous three years. The franchise had consistently been one of the best AFL teams since the league began, but routinely fell just short and perpetually underperformed, compared to what you might expect based on just looking at point differentials. The franchise had won the AFL Championship as the Dallas Texans in 1962, but then endured three straight finishes behind the Chargers in the AFL West. It was a team loaded with talent that was highly drafted by NFL teams, and they finally put it together in 1966. I assessed that they were the team that got the most talent in the early part of the decade.
Thus, we had a clash of the old guard (the best team built before 1960) and the new (the best built after), with the difference being the Packers also had some good players added after 1960, and more experience as winners.
Interestingly, the two teams rate as equally dominant within their respective leagues in 1966. Both were the clearly best teams in their leagues. Green Bay has a rating of +12.6 and Kansas City has a rating of +12.4. Thus, we can say the difference between these two teams was the difference in the respective leagues on average. How big was the difference? We'll get there soon.
The play by play from Super Bowl I (minus punts, field goals and penalties)
As for the game itself, the thing that stands out to me is Bart Starr's ridiculous performance on third down. The eventual margin of 25 points was dictated by the differing fortunes on third down plays. This was actually a close game at halftime, with the Packers holding a 14-10 lead. Kansas City had 181 yards on 28 plays in the first half compared with Green Bay's 164 on 29 plays. The difference was a 3rd down stop where Kansas City came up two yards short and settled for a field goal, versus a third down conversion on 3rd and 7, one play before Green Bay's second touchdown.
Bart Starr was sacked on his first third down attempt on the first possession of the game. From that point until the Packers scored to make it 35-10 early in the fourth quarter, Starr was 5 for 6 passing on third down (all for first downs) and the Packers also converted 6 of 7 rushing third downs.
The game, though, turned decisively on two third down plays for the Chiefs to start the second half. Kansas City got the ball to start the second half and moved to midfield. On 3rd and 5, Len Dawson's pass was tipped and then intercepted by Willie Wood and returned to the Kansas City 5 yard line. Green Bay scored on the next play to take a 21-10 lead. On the next drive, Kansas City had a 3rd and 1 at midfield and were thrown for a loss, and by the time the Chiefs next got a first down on offense, the score was 28-10.
In my earlier post, I noted that the standard deviation for these types of games is about 20 points from the expected. If Kansas City was at least five points worse than Green Bay on average, the actual game result would be certainly within reason. Bart Starr certainly played a fantastic game. I doubt that the Packers were converting over 80% of their third downs in the regular season, so this was an exceptional game for the Packers. I don't think I'm being controversial to say that the 25 point spread was not indicative of the average difference between the two teams (and leagues).
SUPER BOWL II: Oakland Raiders vs. Green Bay Packers
This was a last hurrah for the Green Bay Packer dynasty. Jim Taylor was no longer there, but most of the starters from the previous year were back. The Packers caught some breaks along the way. Had the Saints not entered the league in 1967 and forced the switch to a four division format, the Packers in 1967 might have finished behind the Colts and Rams in the Western Division for the spot in the championship game. As it turned out though, the Packers wrapped up the Central Division title rather easily and coasted through two meaningless losses at the end of the season. The Rams and Colts, meanwhile, battled for a playoff spot, and the Colts missed the playoffs despite having no losses entering the final showdown against the Rams. Because playoff sites were rotated on a scheduled basis, rather than based on record, the Packers also got to host the warm weather Rams even though they had the inferior W-L record, and then got to host the NFL Championship game as well. I have the Packers rated as +11.3 in 1967, which is third in the NFL behind the Colts and Rams (but within a point of each).
On the other side, the Oakland Raiders turned in the most dominant season in AFL history, cruising to a 13-1 mark and destroying Houston in the AFL Championship. I have the Raiders as +15.9 in 1967. Whereas the previous AFL Champions had been mostly built through the drafting and signing of players, Oakland was a combination of cast-offs and trades from other teams, and drafting. The offensive line was young and built entirely through the draft, and featured two future Hall of Famers in Jim Otto and Gene Upshaw. The backfield and half the defensive starters had played for other teams before joining Oakland. Then there was Daryle Lamonica, who had waited for his turn behind Jack Kemp in Buffalo, and it finally came when he was traded to Oakland before the 1967 season. The Mad Bomber took the Raiders from a team that was improving and had challenged the Chiefs and Chargers in recent years, to a team that ran roughshod over the league.
Judging by the numbers (without any league adjustment), this should have been the closest matchup of the four Super Bowls. As it would turn out, three of the four most dominant teams of the decade (Green Bay in 1962 being the other) would collapse in the Super Bowl, with Oakland being the first.
The play by play from Super Bowl II
The game itself was far less competitive than the first Super Bowl, even though the final scoring margin was slightly lower. The main difference in the margin was that Starr and the Packers offense weren't so lethal on third down, and settled for four field goals after reaching scoring position. Whereas third down was the key to the first game, Super Bowl II was decided on first down.
The NFL had the reputation as the more run-oriented league, and Oakland had the Mad Bomber. However, the Raiders were extremely conservative on first down, and it cost them. Up until the point that the Raiders fell behind 23-7 midway through the third quarter, Oakland had called 11 running plays on first down, compared to only 2 passes. Those running plays gained only 29 yards (half of them coming on one run) and the result was that Lamonica was throwing in long yardage situations on third down. Daryle Lamonica had a horrible game, going 2 for 9 for 27 yards with a sack and an interception on third down. Both of those completions came after the outcome was decided in the fourth quarter. I can't help but think he wasn't helped any by the play calling on first down.
The Packers meanwhile, were more balanced on first down, with Starr throwing more often on first down early in the game. The key play was a 62 yard strike to Boyd Dowler on first down that made the score 13-0. All told, the Packers ran the ball 10 times and passed it 11 times up until the point they took the 23-7 lead.
SUPER BOWL III: New York Jets vs. Baltimore Colts
The Jets, like the Packers the year before, took advantage of some breaks in scheduling on their way to the Super Bowl. Kansas City and Oakland had to meet in a Western Division playoff game, while the Jets got a week off, and because of the rotation, would get to host the winner. The Jets took full advantage of it, beating the defending champion Oakland Raiders in a hard fought championship game.
If Kansas City was a team built in the early part of the decade, the Jets were the team of the middle of the decade in terms of talent from the draft. Joe Namath is the most well known, but players like George Sauer, Verlon Biggs, Emerson Boozer and Matt Snell were also added to a core of players from the early part of the decade. The Jets also had four starters who were originally drafted by the Baltimore Colts. The Jets finally broke through in 1968, winning their first Eastern Division title. After a 3-2 start, the Jets reeled off eight victories in nine games, with the only loss coming at Oakland. Five of those eight victories came by more than two touchdowns, so the Jets were definitely playing better ball than the overall numbers suggest by season's end. I have the Jets with a rating of +7.2 in 1968, behind both Oakland and Kansas City that year overall.
The Baltimore Colts, meanwhile, had overcome the disappointment of being one game away from going through the regular season without a loss the previous year, and emerged as one of the most dominant teams in NFL regular season history. They did so largely without Johnny Unitas and behind a journeyman at quarterback in Earl Morrall. Unlike the Packers, the 1968 Colts were built largely from players who were contemporaries of the AFL stars. Sixteen of the starters for the Colts in 1968 entered professional football in the 1960's. Thus, it was the first showdown largely featuring teams built at the same time. I have the Colts at +17.7 points better than the NFL average. Even without any kind of league adjustment, the Colts were a heavy favorite of around 10.5 points entering the game.
The play by play from Super Bowl III
If you are going to win a game as an underdog, you need to catch some breaks and cash them in. You've got to take advantage of every opportunity, and have the favorite squander their chances. That's exactly what happened in Super Bowl III. The first half total yards shows that the Jets played the Colts evenly, gaining 179 yards on 36 plays compared to the Colts' 163 yards on 28 plays. The first scoring opportunity went to the Colts, who moved the ball to a first down at the Jets 19 on their opening drive. They gained no more yards, then missed the field goal. An eleven play drive ended with no points, and the underdogs had hope. After an exchange of punts, Sauer fumbled deep in Jets territory, and the Colts took over at the 12. Morrall threw an interception on third and four inside the ten yard line. Two trips inside the red zone, no points for the favorite.
Having survived those two chances, the Jets went on the attack. They put together a twelve play drive that started and ended with a heavy dose of Matt Snell, and saw Namath put together some passes in the midfield area. The Jets cashed in their red zone chance, 7-0.
The Colts then moved into Jets territory again before stalling. After an exchange of punts with the Jets, the Colts got the biggest play of the game, a fifty-eight yard run by Tom Matte that moved the ball to the New York 16. Two plays later though, Earl Morrall threw his second red zone interception of the half. The Jets were pinned deep after the interception, and had to punt. Baltimore got the ball back in Jets territory but with very little time left, and Morrall threw his third interception on the final play of the half. In the first half, the Colts had penetrated the New York 40 yard line on five of the six possessions, and the red zone three times, but scored no points. The Jets had survived the field position disadvantage and had only been inside the Baltimore 40 twice, but held a 7-0 lead.
Still, despite all the errors in the scoring zone, the Colts were very much alive, and were getting the ball to open the second half. Tom Matte fumbled on the first play of the half, though, and the Jets converted it into a field goal to extend the lead. The Jets stopped the Colts cold, and went on another drive ending in a field goal. Unitas came on to replace Morrall, but another three plays and a punt led to the drive of the game. The Jets sealed the victory on the next drive, when Namath hit Sauer on a 39 yard pass to the Baltimore 10 right before the end of the third quarter. The Jets couldn't quite punch it in, but a field goal was just as good there, as the lead went to 16-0. Baltimore had gained only 11 yards on 7 plays in the third.
The fourth quarter showed the ability of Unitas, even in a desperate losing cause, in running a hurry up attack. The Colts ran 29 plays in the fourth quarter, and this despite the Jets running clock by never throwing a pass in the fourth, and running thirteen straight times after they kicked the final field goal at the start of the quarter. It was too little, too late for the Colts. Unitas was intercepted to end the first drive of the fourth after Baltimore again got to the New York 25. The Colts went for it on 4th and 10 from their own 20 on the next possession, and converted, which ultimately led to the only touchdown. The Colts got the ball back again, within 9, and moved it again to the Jets' red zone, but turned it over on downs to effectively end the game. All told, the total yardage for the game was almost dead even (337 to 324 for the Jets) but the Colts squandered opportunity after opportunity, and the Jets jumped on Baltimore when they had the chance in the third quarter.
SUPER BOWL IV: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Minnesota Vikings
The Kansas City Chiefs were largely the same team on offense that had played in Super Bowl I, and were just a little older. On defense, though, they had key changes and had turned in the best defensive performance in AFL history in the regular season. In Super Bowl I, Starr had repeatedly torched the pass defense, and particularly the corners, on third down. Both cornerbacks were replaced by 1969, with Jim Kearney and future hall of famer Emmitt Thomas bolstering that position greatly. The linebacking corp had also been overhauled, with long time AFL stalwarts Sherrill Headrick and E.J. Holub (Holub had actually moved to Center by this time) replaced by young stars in Willie Lanier and Jim Lynch.
My rating has Kansas City as a +12.0 in 1969, which, despite gaining entry to the playoffs as the second place finisher, rates as the best score among AFL teams that year. You also have to consider that Len Dawson missed half of the regular season with injury. At first glance, it doesn't appear that it had much impact, as the Chiefs were +12.8 with a 7-2 record in games started by Dawson (including the playoffs) and +12.7 with a 6-1 record in games started by others. A closer look, though, shows a huge difference largely due to schedule. Dawson played all three games against Oakland, both games against the Jets and both games against the Chargers (the only other above average team in 1969). Considering home field advantage and opponent, I have the Chiefs as being over 9 points better when Dawson started, as a dominant +16.2 in the nine games with him at quarterback. Thus, we might consider that Kansas City was even better than the raw numbers showed when they took the field against Minnesota.
Minnesota was a true contemporary of the AFL. The Minnesota franchise had originally been a member of the AFL, and had even participated in the inaugural draft in late 1959. The NFL, though, lured the ownership group away by promising to make them a member of the NFL in 1961. Like Kansas City, Minnesota showed that you could build a good team to compete against existing NFL powers by drafting well and having a good organization in place. The team had already built a decent talent base early in the decade, and added to it with Alan Page and Ron Yary in the first round of the combined drafts of 1967 and 1968. The team had parted ways with Fran Tarkenton, who started for the expansion team as a 21 year old, and led them to early solid play. The more workmanlike (some might say less skilled) CFL veteran Joe Kapp was the quarterback by 1969. The team, though, was built around the defense, and the Purple People Eaters exploded on the league in 1969 after finishing ahead of the Packers for their first division title a year earlier. All they did in 1969 was turn in the most dominant regular season of the decade. I have Minnesota at +18.0 in 1969, ahead of both the 1968 Colts and the 1962 Packers.
As we saw, though, Kansas City wasn't far behind when Dawson was at quarterback. The 1969 Chiefs with Dawson rated just a few points behind the Vikings on a neutral field, before any adjustment between the two leagues. Though it may have been perceived as such by the point spread and betting public, this wasn't a David versus Goliath match. It was a heavy weight fight and easily the best matchup in terms of the combined dominance over their respective leagues by both teams.
The play by play from Super Bowl IV
Both teams had dominant defenses that made it very difficult for the respective offenses. It was the Chiefs' norseman, Jan Stenerud, that was the difference. On the opening drive, Minnesota moved the ball to the Kansas City 39. During this time period, this would ordinarily be on the outside of scoring position, and it was for Minnesota. They stalled and punted to Kansas City. The Chiefs matched the Vikings drive, and moved the ball to Minnesota territory, but the drive halted with fourth down at the Minnesota 41. Instead of punting, Hank Stram sent Stenerud on for a Super Bowl record 48 yard kick (remember, the goal posts were on the goal line at this time) and he nailed it. The teams had matched each other, but the Chiefs had a 3-0 lead.
Minnesota punted back to Kansas City, and again the Chiefs went on a solid drive that bogged down at the Minnesota 25. Stenerud again nailed the kick, 6-0. The teams then exchanged turnovers on the Minnesota end of the field, with the Vikings intercepting Dawson on a deep pass inside their own 10. They couldn't move it and punted the ball back to Kansas City in good field position. One 19 yard run by WR Frank Pitts was the only positive for the Chiefs, but it was enough to move in range for Stenerud's third field goal of the half. At this point in the game, neither team had dominated, and the offenses had been able to hit on a few plays before being shut down, but thanks to field position and Stenerud's foot, the Chiefs held a 9-0 lead.
On the next kickoff, Minnesota fumbled inside the 20 and it was recovered by Kansas City. A key third down pass to Otis Taylor kept the possession alive, which set up another key third down play, the famous Hank Stram call of "65 toss power trap" touchdown run from the five yard line for Mike Garrett. One costly turnover, and the dominant Vikings were down 16-0 over halfway through the second quarter.
The Chiefs got the ball to start the second half, and moved the ball to midfield before a costly penalty set them back. The Vikings took the ball and went on their only sustained drive of the game, a 10 yard drive that covered 69 yards. With the score 16-7, the Vikings were back in the game. Kansas City, though, moved the ball to midfield. At that point, the Vikings hadn't given up any big plays, the longest Chiefs gain being 20 yards. Dawson hit Otis Taylor along the sideline, and he broke a tackle and raced 46 yards for the decisive score right before the end of the third quarter.
Neither of these defenses were the kind you wanted to fall behind against, and for the rest of the game, the Chiefs harassed Kapp. The Vikings defense, for their part, did not allow much either after that. Kapp (and Gary Cuozzo) attempted 11 passes after that Taylor touchdown, and were sacked once, and threw three interceptions (two by Kapp). Whereas the previous Super Bowl upset had seen the Jets hold the Colts from points in the red zone, Minnesota simply couldn't get there. They scored their touchdown on their only trip past the Kansas City 39. In a heavy weight fight, Stenerud gave the body blows early to gain the edge, and then the Chiefs were able to land the one big shot that put the game away.

We booked a private boat to take us out snorkeling for two hours at two different locations. The price of the snorkeling was rather cheap for including refreshments! The two young men aboard the ship were fantastic and friendly. They knew a lot about the island and were great. The locations of snorkeling were great, a beautiful reef and a sunken WW2 German ship. I would highly recommend their tours to anyone anytime and they have convinced me to visit Aruba in the future.
Spent a couple of hours at a private beach, it was decent, but a little rocky. Would probably spend the day downtown in the future rather than the beach.
The tour was very informative, our guide added a lot of humor to the ride and brought a lot of daily occurrences of the island related to politics. I really got a sense of how it is to live on Grand Turk, we made two really short stops, one in Downtown, there was a small souvenir marketplace and a nice dock, and one by the lighthouse which was surrounded by wild donkeys and very beautiful scenery!
Beautiful place with a lot of great landscape. The museum was interesting as is the story behind the location. Beautiful architecture, a must see when visiting La Romana, the entrance fee is only five dollars, but it is worth it.
Not very far from the port, and one must ask to be taken here, but it is well worth it! The underground caves are absolutely breathtaking, and the tour guides were very informative. The grounds are well maintained, a must see at La Romana, tours are done in either Spanish or English.

BELPRE - The 32nd annual Belpre Apple Butter Stir Off will be Saturday and Sunday at Howes Grove Park on Washington Boulevard.
Admission is $2 at the gate. The event will feature two days of live entertainment, games, inflatables, concessions, clowns, face painting, quilters, crafts and other activities. Local groups and organizations will have booths of their wares and information, said event co-chair Willene Bacon.
The Belpre Lions Club uses the proceeds from the event to help the club purchase eyeglasses and hearing aids for community members, she said.
Among the new activities for this year's event will be children's inflatables from Fun Factory, a country store, pumpkin carving and a "Guess the weight of the pumpkin" contest, Bacon said.
There will also be an inflatable for adults, Bacon said. From 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, the Peoples Bank Money Machine will be set up at the stir off. People will have the chance to get in the inflatable, which will have money flying around inside it, and grab as much as they can in a set amount of time, she said.
During both days of the event, Pioneer Presbyterian Church and Boy Scout Troop 91 will be making fresh apple butter and selling it by pints and quarts during the Stir Off.

The Creative Arts Emmys always seemed the place where Game of Thrones was going to leave its mark. Last year, though, Boardwalk Empire was the juggernaut, winning seven total awards. But this year? Game of Thrones all the way, as the award took six of the nine nominated categories (not the most nominated show—far from it, in fact—but that 66% win rate was impressive!) to be the winningest show this year.
Here's the list of winners:
Awards the production missed out on were Hairstyling, Prosthetic Makeup and Casting (the second time Nina Gold and Robert Sterne have been nominated, too). HBO also missed out on the Interactive Media award for its "enchanced" experience on HBO Go.
Congratulations to all the winners, and the crew that make all those wins possible!
