Canadian Living recipes get a lot of love online and we've rounded up 25 of our most-searched recipes, from beef stew and lasagna to pancakes and carrot cake. And the list wouldn't be complete with our #1 recipe of all time: classic scalloped potatoes!
With a nice hint of garlic, these potatoes are a delicious addition to any meal and are much lighter than those with a cream-laden gratin. To slice them easily, cut a little piece off the bottom of each potato to stabilize it on the cutting board. Serve with your favourite baked fish or chicken.
This classic warm-you-up stew becomes even more comforting when made with well-marbled pot roast rather than the usual stewing beef. The fat melts slowly as it cooks, tenderizing the beef into juicy melt-in-your-mouth morsels. A slow finish in the oven gives the stew its rich, hearty texture.
Serve this saucy pulled pork as sandwiches: piled high on buns, with bowls of garnishes, such as pickled jalapenos, sour cream, shredded cheese and thinly shredded red cabbage (or better yet, red cabbage slaw), and let guests build their own sandwiches.
Our most popular recipe ever! This moist carrot cake is welcome at birthdays, weddings, reunions and all special occasions.
These wings can get sticky as they bake, so line your baking sheet with greased nonstick foil or parchment paper for easy turning.
Whether runny or firm, with raisins or nuts, butter tarts are treats that never go out of style. Because any sugar filling that overflows the pastry hardens quickly and sticks to the pan, be sure to remove the tarts as directed. Or count on family members to hang around the kitchen waiting to eat the tarts that stick and break.
Weeknight entertaining is a breeze when you put your slow cooker to work! Adding a bit of flour to the sauce at the end of cooking turns it into a rich gravy to serve alongside the roast. Green peas and mashed sweet potatoes make great accompaniments to this hearty cold-weather dish.
If comfort food is what you're after, nothing beats a generous helping of creamy, oozy mac and cheese. This recipe is the yummiest version – and the only one you'll ever need.
The decadent pie crust and the perfect touch of cinnamon in this recipe are evidence that you will make this pie more than once in your lifetime.
Lasagna is the go-to meal that feeds a crowd and leaves everyone asking for seconds. We have many different lasagnas in our repertoire, but this one is classic in its simplicity.
Simple aromatic herbs lend gentle flavour to the meat, and a butter rub makes the skin crisp and golden.
Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, these potatoes truly deserve their "ultimate" status. Duck fat is the key to their rich flavour, but you can customize the taste by switching up the type of fat.
A splash of vanilla and a small pat of butter are the secret ingredients in these decadent, fluffy pancakes.
This recipe can easily be left to simmer away in a slow cooker for eight hours before adding the chicken. It yields a large quantity of sauce that freezes well if you're feeding a smaller group. Serve over hot steamed basmati rice.
Chock-full of a variety of seafood, fish and vegetables, this rich soup is inspired by a similar chowder served at the Masstown Market, near Truro, N.S.
The traditional (and indulgent) toppings of crispy crumbled bacon and sour cream really bring these perogies to life.
The aroma of baking banana bread is enough to drive just about anyone wild with anticipation. Our best version delivers on all counts. It's moist, buttery, sweet and chockfull of banana flavour.
Inspired by sunny Italy, our flavourful chicken cacciatore is rich with herbs and spices that are both healthy and savoury. Whether it's served over pasta or on its own, this Italian dish is sure to please your taste buds.
This recipe combines the snap and the melt-in-your-mouth qualities we've come to love in shortbread.
This classic salad is traditionally assembled in front of patrons at fine-dining restaurants.
This traditional pea soup is the ultimate in Quebec-style comfort food.
These brownies have become The Test Kitchen's secret weapon for parties, showers, gifts and other occasions. The combination of rich dark chocolate and a subtle crunch from chopped toffee bars is what makes them the best brownies you'll ever make.
This simple pork tenderloin is a healthy spin on everyone's favourite Greek culinary staple: souvlaki. We've swapped sweet potatoes for the traditional white potatoes and added other colourful veggies to boost the nutrient content.
If the stomach is indeed the way to a loved one's heart, then this ultra-decadent chocolate cake is sure to seal the deal. Just as easy and versatile as a cake mix— but way more moist and delicious—it's a recipe you'll want to make again and again.
Pull this mildly seasoned, comforting chili together in minutes. It's loaded with veggies and lean protein—perfect for growing minds and bodies.

Weight loss goals can seem insurmountable. To lose each pound of fat, you need to cut 3,500 calories, and that number can sound scary. But taking little steps to cut just 100 or 200 calories at a time goes a long way. Use two of these tips each day and you'll lose a pound in a little over a week—no starvation necessary.
We all know about the dangers of soda, but even drinking unsweetened juice will give you a sugar rush at a rate of 120 calories per cup. And chances are you don't just drink a cup. Individual serving-size bottles of juice are typically about 450 mL, and can clock in at over 200 calories. But if you're a juice drinker, it can be hard to switch to water right away. Try muddling some watermelon and mint into your water to get all kinds of flavour, and a touch of sweetness, for almost no calories. Or make iced tea using a fruity flavoured tea, and skip the sugar.
Who doesn't love pasta? But when your fettuccine comes with around 400 calories in two cups (even before the sauce!), you can feel guilty about eating it. Try replacing half the pasta with a cup of zucchini that's been cut into thin strips to match the shape of the pasta. Just throw it in the water a couple of minutes before the noodles are done. You'll still get the flavour and texture of the pasta that you crave, but with almost half the calories, because that cup of zucchini has just 30 calories.
Barbecue sauce
Did you know that half a cup of barbeque sauce can contain about 250 calories? If you're someone who uses sauces liberally, this could be a big source of extra calories for you. Instead, give your meats a spice rub, which contains virtually no calories. And keep an eye on stir-fry sauces, such as teriyaki. You can often get a lot of flavour using spices (think fresh ginger, garlic and herbs) and little soy sauce, instead of using a rich sugar-filled sauce.
Potato chips
According to a study from the New England Journal of Medicine, potato chips are in fact the biggest contributor to obesity. In a study that found Americans gain about a pound a year, chips were the biggest cause of that weight gain. Though a serving might have about 160 calories, chances are you eat at least two to three times that. Instead, bake a cup of kale mixed with a teaspoon of oil and a bit of salt to make your own kale chips. For about 70 calories, you'll get a much more nutrient-dense snack that won't make you pack on the pounds.
If you haven't yet heard of cauliflower rice, you're missing out. This simple recipe is the perfect low-calorie replacement for white rice, which will set you back about 250 calories. Just process cauliflower florets in a food processor or grate them with a box grater, then cook with a bit of water or oil until soft. Use it for the bed of rice below meat or fish, or on the side of a curry dish. The cauliflower mimics the texture of rice but has only about 30 calories per cup.
Hamburger buns
Hamburger buns can easily contain 200 calories or more. Instead of a bun, sandwich your burger or chicken breast with veggies that contain almost no calories. You've heard of using lettuce instead of a bun, but how about grilled portobello mushrooms? Or a tomato cut in half? If you can't give up bread entirely, try a small wrap, which should cut the calories in half. Thinking outside the bun will help you lighten up your meal.

3 girls injured in North East utility vehicle crash
NORTH EAST -- Three girls were injured Wednesday afternoon when a John Deer Gator utility vehicle they were riding on crashed into a tree in a fruit orchard along Bort Road in North East Township, police said.
The crash occurred at 5:05 p.m.
A 13-year-old girl, of Altamonte Springs, Fla., suffered serious injuries and was taken to a hospital, state police from Lawrence Park Township said.
A 9-year-old girl who was driving the vehicle and an 11-year-old girl -- both of Westlake, Ohio -- suffered minor injuries, police said.
Police said the vehicle was heading north along the west side of Bort Road in the northeast corner of a fruit orchard.
As the vehicle made a left turn in the orchard, it crashed into a tree, throwing the 13-year-old girl and the 11-year-old girl, police said.

Has Clear Channel won Christmas music war?
WMYX-FM (99.1) has yet to switch to an all-Christmas music format, despite having done so for many years in competition with WRIT-FM (95.7). The stations took turns being the first to switch to the format, and when the first one did, the second followed immediately.
The Clear Channel station WRIT-FM did so last week. But while WMYX was streaming Christmas music on its website, it was still playing its regular format on the air Monday afternoon. »Read Full Blog Post(23)

Special athletes prepare for own big game
On Super Bowl Sunday, when your heart is thumpin' with anticipation as kickoff draws closer, you won't be alone.
Hundreds of "kids" - special athletes ages 10 to 65 - will be flying high with excitement at Mukwonago High School, too. They'll be totally absorbed in an all-day basketball tournament for Special Olympics run for the 15th year by the Big Bend/Vernon Lions Club.
Organizer Steve Visocky of Muskego doesn't fret about the same-day timing of these two sporting extravaganzas. He's starting it early, at 8:30 a.m., so 44 teams from southeastern Wisconsin can finish by 4 p.m., well in advance of the 5:30 Super Bowl kickoff.
But as one coach put it to him, "This is our Super Bowl."
It is the kind of sporting spirit that can't be matched - not even by the big drama in Arlington, Texas, where our beloved Packers have raised the emotional stakes.
For starters, the tournament draws about 100 volunteers - some of them authentic referees from the Lakeland Officials Association who offer their expertise, most of them teenagers involved in their own high school activities.
Visocky said the volunteers like coming back, year after year. When refereeing regular high school basketball teams as he does, it's not unusual to have teens approach him on game nights and ask, "Now when is your tournament again?"
They want to be involved.
Volunteers this year include boys basketball team members from Mukwonago, Catholic Memorial and New Berlin high schools. Mukwonago cheerleaders will be rooting all day. Boy Scout Troop 41 from Muskego and a confirmation class from Waukesha's St. William Church will pitch in.
Members of the Lions Club barely have a thing to do, Visocky said.
At its frenzied peak, about 800 people will be on hand because "it's a parent outing, too," he said.
Then there are the athletes - about 475 coming from Kenosha, Fort Atkinson, Racine, Union Grove, Mukwonago, New Berlin, Waukesha, Oconomowoc, Watertown, Menomonee Falls and Mequon. The teams that participate have grown from 12 early on to 44 now, which tells you something.
All you have to do is see an athlete such as Visocky's son, Scott, whose cognitive disability means that at age 29 he cannot read or write or be left alone to care for himself.
Imagine a scene that Visocky says repeats itself - one of these special athletes goes into the game, takes a shot and then darts off to the bleachers for a hug from mom because the ball went through the hoop. Some gentle guidance gets him back on the court. Then it's off to the cafeteria for some pizza or hot dog and - best of all - dancing to the DJ's sounds.
Most of the athletes love the dance, so much so that it can be hard to get them back on the court. But that's not so bad.
"Friendships are renewed and new friendships developed," he said.
Foundations have been so impressed with the event that they've repeatedly kicked in the $6,000 needed for food, T-shirts and gym rental.
You won't find any $163,000 luxury seats in the Mukwonago High School gym Sunday like they're advertising at Cowboys Stadium, or extra-clever commercials selling for unbelievable sums.
Nope. This kind of joy can't be bought.

In a unique, home-spun experiment, researchers found that centripetal force could help people pass kidney stones—before they become a serious health-care cost.
East Lansing, Michigan, becomes a ghost town during spring break. Families head south, often to the theme parks in Orlando. A week later, the Midwesterners return sunburned and bereft of disposable income, and, urological surgeon David Wartinger noticed, some also come home with fewer kidney stones.
Wartinger is a professor emeritus at Michigan State, where he has dealt for decades with the scourge of kidney stones, which affect around one in 10 people at some point in life. Most are small, and they pass through us without issue. But many linger in our kidneys and grow, sending hundreds of thousands of people to emergency rooms and costing around $3.8 billion every year in treatment and extraction. The pain of passing a larger stone is often compared to child birth.
Conservatives have put families and communities at the center of their conception of a better America—but they're notably absent from the Republican nominee's account.
Again and again at Monday night's debate, Hillary Clinton attacked Donald Trump's record in business. She accused him of caring only about himself. Again and again, he pleaded guilty.
When Clinton quoted Trump as cheering for a housing crisis, Trump responded, "That's called business." When Clinton accused Trump of not paying taxes, Trump answered, "That makes me smart." When Clinton attacked Trump for declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying the people he owed, Trump replied, "I take advantage of the laws of the nation because I'm running a company." Clinton set out to paint Trump as selfish and unethical. Trump basically conceded the charge.
Commentators are declaring Trump's answers a tactical mistake. But they're more than that. They show how unmoored he is from conservatism's conception of America.
For decades, the candidate has willfully inflicted pain and humiliation.
Donald J. Trump has a cruel streak. He willfully causes pain and distress to others. And he repeats this public behavior so frequently that it's fair to call it a character trait. Any single example would be off-putting but forgivable. Being shown many examples across many years should make any decent person recoil in disgust.
Judge for yourself if these examples qualify.
* * *
In national politics, harsh attacks are to be expected. I certainly don't fault Trump for calling Hillary Clinton dishonest, or wrongheaded, or possessed of bad judgment, even if it's a jarring departure from the glowing compliments that he used to pay her.
But even in a realm where the harshest critiques are part of the civic process, Trump crossed a line this week when he declared his intention to invite Gennifer Flowers to today's presidential debate. What kind of man invites a husband's former mistress to an event to taunt his wife? Trump managed to launch an attack that couldn't be less relevant to his opponent's qualifications or more personally cruel. His campaign and his running-mate later said that it was all a big joke. No matter. Whether in earnest or in jest, Trump showed his tendency to humiliate others.
In North Carolina, the Democratic candidate basked in her debate victory. As for her supporters, they're feeling better, but they're not ready to exhale.
RALEIGH, N.C.— "Did anybody see that debate last night? Ooooh yes," Hillary Clinton said, her first words after striding confidently out on stage at Wake Technical Community College Tuesday afternoon.
As a capacity crowd cheered, she added, "One down, two to go."
Celebration and relief added to the thick humidity of late summer at Clinton's event in North Carolina. Post-debate analysis is in that awkward in-between state, after the pundits have rendered their verdicts and before high-quality polling has measured the nation's response. But the Democratic nominee seemed sure that she was the victor.
It was Clinton's first event after the first presidential debate Monday evening in Hempstead, New York. One sign of her confidence coming out of that encounter: As I approached the rally, a man asked for a hand loading a heavy box into his car. He was the teleprompter man, he said, but when he arrived in Raleigh, he'd been told that Clinton had decided to do without the prompter. He was turning around and heading back to Washington, D.C.
Wait, what?
The way people talk about the internet is, as with most things, imprecise. They say "literally" when they mean "figuratively." They say "the internet" when they mean "the web." (The internet is the structural underpinning of the web, which is what you see when you're clicking around online.)
And yet we've come a long way since the days of "surfing the net," "the information superhighway," and "cyberspace." Most of us, anyway. Politicians, in particular, still have a knack for evoking 1990s web lingo when they find themselves commenting on modern information systems. (The recent congressional record is full of this kind of thing.)
"Cyberspace," in particular, is an old-school favorite that people just can't seem to shake—in large part because of the rise of concerns about "cybersecurity," which has kept the "cyber" prefix in use. In the mid 1990s, the term "cyber" by itself was often a shorthand for "cybersex," or explicit online chatting. The term "cyberspace," though, is usually traced back to William Gibson's 1984 novel Neuromancer, which describes a network of connected computers that creates a mass "consensual hallucination." Before that, "cyber" goes back to Norbert Wiener's epic writings on cybernetics in the 1940s.
Ordinary Americans will be able to submit—and vote on—questions to be considered when the candidates meet again.
Viewers unhappy with the questions asked at Monday night's debate will have a shot to weigh in before Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton meet again on October 9: For the first time, the networks producing the town-hall style debate have agreed to accept questions voted on through the internet.
The Commission on Presidential Debates had already announced that the second of three debates would feature questions submitted online in addition to those asked by the traditional studio audience. But on Tuesday morning, the organizers confirmed they are embracing a format that a broad bipartisan cross-section of activist and civic groups known as the Open Debate Coalition have been pushing for years. Americans will be able to submit and then vote on questions online at PresidentialOpenQuestions.com, and ABC and CNN have agreed to consider the 30 most popular queries when they jointly plan the debate.
If this were Clinton, wild speculation would abound.
At the first presidential debate last night, Donald Trump sniffed audibly several times.
Here is a compilation, composed by some patient people at Slate:
Some consider this "breathing." Others hear something more.
Over the course of this election cycle, pundits have breached all standards with regard to conjecture about the bodies of the candidates and their functionality. Some took Hillary Clinton's coughing fit as proof of imminent peril. A Florida anesthesiologist got millions of YouTube views for claiming to have used "CIA techniques" to diagnose her with "advanced neurodegenerative disease."
Donald Trump himself has said that Clinton "lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS." As she worked despite pneumonia, he said with an eyebrow raised, "something's going on."
The Democrat's command and poise left her rival looking frustrated, peevish, and out of sorts.
Monday brought the first debate of the presidential season, but it often felt like two separate debates. One, from Hillary Clinton, was wonky, crisp, and polished; if not always inspiring, it was professional and careful. The other, from Donald Trump, was freewheeling, aggressive, and meandering, occasionally landing a hard blow but often substance-less and hard to follow. But the two debates intersected at times, sometimes raucously, as Trump repeatedly broke in to interrupt Clinton.
It was a commanding performance from the Democratic nominee. Clinton delivered a series of detailed answers on subjects ranging from race to the Middle East to tax policy. Meanwhile, she delivered a string of attacks on Trump, assailing him for stiffing contractors, refusing to release his tax returns, fomenting birtherism, and caricaturing black America. She stumbled only occasionally, but left few openings for Trump. She remained calm and often smiling as Trump repeatedly attacked her and interrupted her answers—doing it so often that moderator Lester Holt, often a spectral presence at the debate, finally cut in twice in short order to chide him. (Vox counted 40 instances; Clinton made some of her own interruptions, but fewer.) Clinton displayed a sort of swagger perhaps not seen since her hearing before Congress on Benghazi.
One man conducted hundreds of interviews to understand the motivation and morality of those in the finance industry.
How can bankers live with themselves after the destruction wrought by their industry? That's in part what the Dutch journalist Joris Luyendijk sets out to uncover in his new book, Among the Bankers: A Journey Into the Heart of Finance, which was published overseas last year under the title Swimming with Sharks. The book attempts to lay bare not the technical workings of a very opaque industry, but the emotional and moral considerations of those who operate within it.
Luyendijk, a reporter at The Guardian who has a background in anthropology, poses that question of conscience over and over again. To answer it, he conducted hundreds of interviews with people who work in the City, London's version of Wall Street.
The belief in a common purpose that long defined America's civil religion was strikingly absent on Monday night.
Civil religion died on Monday night.
For more than 90 minutes, two presidential candidates traded charges on stage. The bitterness and solipsism of their debate offered an unnerving glimpse of American politics in a post-Christian age, devoid of the framework that has long bound the nation together.
Hillary Clinton may have offered little sense of humility, of obligation, of responsibility in Hempstead, but it was Donald Trump who directly rejected those virtues, reframing them instead as vices. He painted altruism as a sucker's game, and left sacrifice for the losers. It was a performance that made clear one broader meaning of his candidacy—the eclipse of the values that long defined America.

Works Great
I read a lot of bad write-up's about this product, but I can honestly say I have had a really great experience with it so far. I primarily use the Rio to listen to Audible.com books, and the easy to use bookmarks make listening to multiple books at the same time easy. As for the unit shutting off or resetting all the time, I have not had that problem. The unit did reset itself one time. However, I was down to the very last drop of power in the battery, and I knew it would probably die soon. When I touched fast forward, the backlight came on and zapped the power. However, it was easy to turn the backlight off, and finding my spot in the book again was pretty easy. The only thing I don't like about the unit is it's "belt clip". It really doesn't work very well. It just doesn't hold on very tightly, whether to your belt, or the arm band that comes with the unit. However, I just put the tiny thing in my fanny pack when I run. I have run over 100 miles with it so far, and have only changed the battery once, and have never had it reset or turn off during a run. Again, it's a good unit - give it a try.

Floyd Mayweather: I Think Canelo Should Fight Molina
By Rick Reeno
WBC/WBA 154-pound champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. believes newly crowned IBF junior middleweight champion Carlos Molina is the perfect comeback fight for Mexican star Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Both Molina (22-5-2, 6KOs) and Canelo (42-1-1, 30KOs) were in action on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Molina captured the IBF belt with a twelve round decision win over Ishe Smith, who Mayweather manages. In the main event, Canelo lost a majority twelve round decision to Mayweather.
"I think he should fight Molina. I think that's a good fight for him, to get back his confidence," Mayweather said. "Canelo does everything right, he is the future, and he's going to be a champion again in no time."
[QUOTE=Ratchet;13748767]I believe Cotto is just doing fight-by-fight, actually. But, unless Alvarez lifts the strap off Molina, I see no reason for him and Cotto to fight. No belts will be on the line. It'd simply be...a fight. I'm not against…Comment by hurricanelu on 09-16-2013

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Soave makes a big comeback
Let's all cheer the rebirth of a friendly old wine that once soared, then faltered, and now has risen once more. It's called Soave (So-AH-vay).
The city called Soave is picturesque, rock-walled and medieval, visible from the highway between Veneto and Venice in northeast Italy. Its moated castle dates back to 934.
The wine called Soave, by contrast, is soft, dry and light-bodied, with delicate flavors of apples, lemons, pears and peaches and a hint of minerals.
In fact, dictionaries translate the Italian word "soave" as "soft" or "delicate."
By law it must be 70 percent from the crisp, white garganega grape, with the remaining 30 percent from trebbiano, chardonnay and others.
The best Soave comes from the "Soave Classico" area, a 4,000-acre zone within the 16,000-acre Soave region, from hillside vineyards with volcanic soils, low yields and superior winemaking.
Soave's history parallels that of Italy's famous red wine, Chianti. GIs returning from World War II brought fond memories of both wines, and both enjoyed postwar booms in U.S. sales.
When I was a starving and thirsty student in Bologna, near Veneto, in the 1960s, we mostly drank the local fizzy red Lambrusco because it was 48 cents a liter. But when we very occasionally could spend a whole dollar for a bottle, we bought Soave, and considered it a luxury.
Unfortunately, the popularity of Soave and Chianti spurred overcropping and casual, bulk winemaking that damaged the reputations of both wines by the mid-1970s.
Chianti fought its way back years ago. Better grapes and better winemaking have restored its reputation as a great Italian wine. Now Soave, especially Soave Classico, is doing the same, with the best wines made by top-notch individual producers instead of some of the old mass production cooperatives.
Usually dry, crisp and made without oak aging, Soave is an excellent aperitif, good with salty snacks, a nice match for grilled chicken and grilled vegetables as well as raw shellfish and light seafood dishes -- especially the garlic-scented shrimp scampi of Venice.
So try a bottle and welcome it back.

CALGARY, Alberta — In the world of pro rodeo, the Calgary Stampede provides a great model for other events.
It's the ultimate lucrative, all-star, outdoor summer rodeo. The 2014 edition, which began July 4 and concluded July 13, featured a field of 20 credentialed riders in each event, including 19-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world champion Trevor Brazile, an Amarillo native who lives in Decatur. The rodeo also featured 2004 Professional Bull Riders world champion Mike Lee of Fort Worth, three-time world bareback riding champion Kaycee Feild, and three-time world champ Will Lowe of Canyon, who pocketed more than $9,800 after finishing in the top 10 in bareback riding.
Brazile, who earned more than $12,000 at the Stampede after finishing in the top 10 in tie-down roping, said the Calgary rodeo is a trendsetter.
"It's huge," Brazile said. "It's one rodeo that sets the precedents for all of the other rodeos. What happens here is going to be monumental and groundbreaking, and you want to be part of it."
The 10-day invitational Calgary rodeo features a tournament format. During the final day, dubbed Showdown Sunday, fans watch the top 10 in each event. Each event winner receives more than $93,000.
During the final performance, all 10 cowboys ride in a first round. From there, the top four advance to the final round. During the finale, the cowboy with the highest score or the fastest time takes home a coveted check.
The abundance of prize money at the Calgary Stampede commands respect. The Calgary rodeo and the RFD-TV The American in Arlington offer purses of around $2 million in domestic currency, impressive for a rodeo outside of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, which offers more than $6 million over 10 days.
However, The American and the Calgary Stampede are the only two rodeos that pay competitors $100,000 in domestic currency for winning the final round.
Lee knows how it feels to win the Calgary Stampede. He clinched the $100,000 bull riding title in 2008.
"Winning this rodeo is unexplainable," said Lee, who earned more than $9,800 at the 2014 Stampede. "You can't really explain it. It sure makes you smile from ear to ear. Sometimes you go through the year and you don't make that much money because you spend $50,000 or $60,000 on travel expenses. So, that $100,000 check covers it all."
Feild, who earned the Stampede's bareback riding title after turning in a remarkable finals score of 92, said the tougher cowboys rise to the top in Calgary.
"The best cowboy is going to win here," Feild said. "They bring a lot of good horses from the Calgary Stampede (rodeo stock firm) and from other contractors. They want the best for the cowboys, and how they treat us is unbelievable."
Other champions were Morgan Grant, tie-down roping; Kaley Bass, barrel racing; Trevor Knowles, steer wrestling; Dustin Flundra, saddle bronc riding; and Scott Schiffner, bull riding.
The Calgary rodeo has a tradition of thinking big. In 1982, the rodeo began offering $50,000 in each single event winner on the final day. But in 2006, the Stampede began offering $100,000.
The Calgary Stampede also is famous for breeding and producing great bucking horses. In addition to supplying stock for Canadian rodeos, the Stampede's rodeo stock firm also helps U.S. rodeos. Earlier this year, the Stampede hauled broncs to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, RodeoHouston and The American.
Keith Marrington, the Stampede's rodeo director, said fans thrive on watching matchups between high-profile cowboys and standout broncs.
"We're pretty proud of our bucking horse program and its genetics, but it's really the fans who benefit," Marrington said. "When you have great cowboys, you have to give them great stock to get on."
■ High school update: At the National High School Rodeo Association Finals last weekend in Rock Springs, Wyo., J.D. Reed of Spearman finished second in the boys cutting event. Preston Burr of Stratford finished third in the bareback riding title race and Chris Bechthold of Booker came in fourth in steer wrestling.
■ Death of a champion: Billy Hale, the 1971 world champion steer wrestler who qualified for the NFR 13 times, died July 12 at a nursing home in Eufaula, Okla., according to the PRCA. He was 75.
Brett Hoffman, a Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame member, has written a rodeo column for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram over the past quarter-century. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

POP MOM: Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's Erica Dixon Brings A Dose Of Reality To Children's Books
"You have kids in elementary school committing suicide because they think they are the only ones going through something. But if they can read a book about someone who went through something similar and came out of it, they can see that it's going to be ok."
For more information on Erica's children's book series, and her clothing and hair line, visit MsEricaDixon.com
Are you looking forward to this children's book series from Love And Hip Hop Atlanta's Erica Dixon? Comment below.
Lil Scrappy Ordered To Stay Away From Erica For A Whole Year
Earlier, we reported that an Atlanta judge granted Erica Dixon a temporary protective order against the father of her child and former fiancé, Darryl "Lil Scrappy" Richardson.
In that article we mentioned that at a later date, a judge would decide whether or not the protective order would be permanent.
According to our sister site, Bossip, a decision has been reached. On Wednesday, the judge had reason to believe Erica's claims and signed a "family violence" protective order, preventing Lil Scrappy from being within 100 yards of Dixon for the next full year.
She told the court that Richardson assaulted her, "aggressively attempted to attack me and had to be restrained on several occasions. During a scheduled work related filming, the respondent became enraged during a conversation while attempting to attack me and further throwing an object at me."
Dixon said that she's scared of what Scrappy might do. "Although we meet to exchange custody of our daughter, I am extremely uncomfortable doing so after his erratic behavior."
In addition to the alleged violence, Dixon is seeking sole custody of their 10-year-old daughter Emani and is asking the courts to require Scrappy to get tested for drugs and alcohol, and go to rehab.
What's Scrappy's take on this situation? He said that Emani has lived with him for the past 2 year. He took it a step further saying that he was scared of Erica. He said she dissed him in front of their daughter, won't speak to him and refused to co-parent with him.
We haven't been privy to the ins and outs of Erica and Scrappy's relationship. But it's a shame that things are transpiring the way they are with these two, particularly when they have a daughter to raise.
Erica Dixon Granted Restraining Order Against Lil Scrappy
From lovers to friends to enemies.
It may be a while before Darryl "Lil Scrappy" Richardson is reunited with his daughter, Emani Richardson, who he claims is being kept away from him by his ex-fiancée, Erica Dixon.
According to our sister publication, Bossip, an Atlanta judge granted Dixon's request for a temporary protective order against Richardson after she claimed that the "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star committed family violence. Dixon claims that things got so bad with the "No Problems" rapper that she now fears for her life.
Apparently, the judge felt that the single mother provided enough evidence to the courts to grant her the temporary order. A hearing concerning this matter has been scheduled for August 12. It will be then that a judge will decide whether or not the order should be made a permanent one.
Reportedly, Richardson was served on July 22 with court-ordered documents informing him that he's prohibited from coming near Dixon, or he will be immediately thrown in jail.
As previously reported, Richardson and Dixon are enthralled in a custodial/child support battle over their daughter, and Richardson has accused Dixon of keeping the girl away from him to be spiteful.
Interestingly, over a year ago Dixon all but called Richardson's ex-girlfriend, Brittany "Diamond" Carpentero, a liar when the former Crime Mob rapper accused him of abusing her during their relationship.
"He was mentally abusive, physically abusive," Carpentero told The Breakfast Club. "We fought, like you ain't beatin' my a**. Yeah, he got some issues. Some demons, he needs some help."
Shortly after Carpentero's interview aired, Dixon offered her two cents on the allegations made by the 27-year-old.
"I feel like she's saying that because she needs a little shine," said Dixon. "You get into little arguments and spats with your dude, but him just being outright abusive. I'm sorry. I was there before you and after you. Did I miss something?"
We hate to see domestic disputes get this ugly, especially when children are involved. Hopefully, something can be worked out between these two for the sake of Emani.

Sorry Scrappy: Erica Dixon Has A New Man
Since then she's been sassy and single, occasionally entertaining the foolishness of her ex Scrappy (whom she let go down on her while dating Bambi according to her statements during the "LHHATL" reunion). But it seems that since the show stopped filming, she's found someone knew that she's enjoying spending time with, and he's 23-year-old Buffalo Bills safety, Duke Williams.
Dixon just made him her "Man Crush Monday" and called him "my hitta," but on his page, he's posted images of her encouraging followers to support her dress collection (Klass 6), as well as images of them hanging out. She also took part in the ALS challenge at his home, and has been spotted riding around with the handsome NFL baller.
Whatever is going on with these two, they look good together! Check out more pics of Erica and Duke below:
"Plz Show your support to the lovely @msericadixon cop the latest fall collection @ #Klass6.com also visit her the page @klass6dressline ASAP.."

"I Just Let Him Taste It" Erica Dixon Reveals She Has Been Intimate With Scrappy Recently
Erica Dixon and Lil Scrappy get on my nerves. Though I inadvertently gave up on "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" this season, they've always been my favorite couple. One, because their story, even though full of drama, seems to be the most plausible. And two because deep in my heart, I want them to be together–forever. I want them to stop playing, like yesterday.
And I say that knowing that Scrappy and his mother are not about the right. Scrappy is determined to keep slanging his penis all over town and Mama Dee is hellbent on sabotaging their relationship by any means necessary. Oh, and he's currently dating Bambi.
But at the end of the day I really want them to be together. And apparently, I'm not the only one. Based on a VH1 poll, 85 percent of voters around the nation want these two to make it work. Duh! Everyone can see there's still love there.
And after catching clips of the estranged couple flirting heavily with one another on camera, it didn't come as much of a surprise that they were getting down and dirty behind the scenes.
Erica told one of the producers: Two weeks ago. We weren't intimate. I just let him taste it. We didn't have intercourse but it was oral, down there.
Erica even pulled out a hotel receipt on stage to corroborate her story because she knew Scrappy would lie to the cameras about their recent trysts. The hotel receipt was from a few weeks ago but before that, Dixon said Scrappy visited her at her house. They had a few drinks and badda bing, badda boom, Erica received an oral transaction.
But Scrappy denied it and the producers and Erica insisted he take a lie detector test.
Scrappy failed the lie detector test, of course and offered a pathetic, "I don't remember" as an explanation.
And while such shenanigans might upset most girlfriends, Bambi seemed unbothered.
"Some days I don't want to be with him. We just gotta ratchet situation. We're dating. We have great times together, but I ain't trying to marry this ni&&a."
Whew! This is such a hot mess.
And while Scrappy lying on the mother of his child and double dipping should make me want better for Erica, I just can't shake the idea that they were meant to be. I want Scrappy to grow up, I want them to figure out how to make it work and be one big happy family.
Is there too much mess to sift through though?

Erica Dixon Dishes On Branching Into Entrepeneurship With Klass 6 Hair & Dress Lines
Though known most for their larger than life personalities, crazy drama, and wild antics, reality television stars are more than just primetime entertainment. Many of them have successfully launched their own entrepreneurial ventures, helping them to branch out beyond the television world. One example is Erica Dixon, cast member on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta and founder of Klass 6 Hair and Klass 6 Dress Line.
We caught up with Erica to ask her about the inspiration behind the "Klass" lines, what's she learning about running a business, and advice she has for ladies who want to start their own ventures. Check out the interview below.
MadameNoire (MN): How did your experience on Love and Hip Hop inspire you to start Klass 6?
Erica Dixon (ED): Being on a reality show, seeing others have that motivation to go ahead and pursue whatever their dreams or aspirations were [inspired me]. Klass 6 was something that I always wanted to do. I wanted to put something out there for the ladies. With Love and Hip Hop, I had that platform [and audience] to go ahead and do it. I told myself that I was procrastinating. What was I waiting for? Let me go ahead and do it.
MN: What made you focus on fashion and hair with Klass 6?
ED: I did hair and fashion because that is what I am all about. I'm a female. I love to have my hair done and I love to have on a bada$$ dress. I'm not going to sell a dress or hair to somebody that I wouldn't wear or buy. When you see me, I always have my hair in. I may not always have on one of my dresses. I do like to help other brands, but the majority of the time, you will see me with my own products.
Erica Dixon Explains Dumping Her Financially Challenged Boo: 'A Man Should Be The Provider'
If you caught "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" last night, chances are you saw Erica Dixon break up with her model boyfriend, O'Shea Russell. Though it seems like there were several factors that contributed to the couple's split, a major aspect of their romantic demise stemmed from financial problems. As fans have witnessed since episode one of the new season, O'Shea has been depending on Erica for some forms of financial support and she finally became fed up with it.
"I definitely feel like a man should be the provider in a relationship," Erica recently told VH1. "Just learning from my dad, I felt my dad always provided even to this day- that's just what [a man] does. I feel like if you fall I'm definitely there to pick you up and help put the pieces all back together. But it was like O'Shea never wanted to put it back together, it was just like everything was on me and that's a lot."
Erica adds that in addition to realizing that moving forward would mean continuing to support O'Shea, it dawned on her that it would also mean supporting his three children.
"It wasn't just O'Shea, it's O'Shea and his three kids, and then it's my daughter of course. I only have one child. I would've had four other kids to take care of, and I wasn't ready."
As for those who are wondering how Erica even got involved with a man who would look to a woman to support him, the single mom insists that O'Shea wasn't always this way.
"I feel like in our relationship he got very comfortable after the car accident, he broke his leg in three places and he had to get several surgeries and I was there to support him but I just feel like once he got back on his feet he didn't like he just lost that drive and ambition to be a man and take care of his woman and his kids."
After awhile, the reality TV star realized that she was being taken advantage of.
"It would usually be 'I forgot my wallet,' or 'I don't have any cash.' At first you don't really think about it, because you're in a relationship. Then it just got to the point where it's like let me know before hand and not after we're out and we done had fun. Finally I got to the point where I'm like you're my man and your supposed to be the provider. I'm thinking you have it and it's like, 'Oh baby you've got your card?' What if I was just as broke as him what was we gonna do? Cause I wasn't going to wash dishes."
Aside from his financial struggles, it appears the O'Shea was good to Erica, but over time, his money problems weighed down the relationship.
"When we did meet, we were friends. What people don't understand is regardless of what happened between us I can honestly say we've had our moments when he has fought for me, and he treated me like a queen. He made me feel like I was his queen – no additional women, no side relationships, no side friendships. He gave me that. That's something that Scrappy could never give to me ever."
And for those who are thinking that their dramatic split was just a stunt for ratings, Erica insists that they are really over.
Were you happy to see her kick him to the curb?
'She Needs A Little Shine:' Erica Dixon Doesn't Believe Scrappy Abused Diamond
Last month former Crime Mob rapper Diamond did an interview where she accused ex-boyfriend, Lil' Scrappy, of physically abusing her during their relationship.
"He was mentally abusive, physically abusive," she told The Breakfast Club. "We fought, like you ain't beatin' my a**. Yeah, he got some issues. Some demons, he needs some help."
Shortly after her interview aired, Scrappy and his outspoken mother, Momma Dee, came forward to deny her allegations. Now, the "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star's ex-fiancée, Erica Dixon, is also calling BS on Diamond's accusations. According to Erica, Diamond is simply seeking to gain attention and attract viewers to her new Oxygen reality show, "Sisterhood of Hip Hop."
"I feel like she's saying that because she needs a little shine," the mom and reality star told Hello Beautiful. "If that's the case, why are you just now speaking about this? This was something you would never speak about at the time so why are speaking out now? Oh you're on a new reality show. I'm not dumb by a long shot. I get it."
"You get into little arguments and spats with your dude, but him just being outright abusive. I'm sorry. I was there before you and after you. Did I miss something?"
Erica went on to say that she was completely thrown off by Diamond saying that she helped raise her daughter, Emani.
"The only thing was that I had a problem with was that she said she raised my daughter. [Emani's] mom and dad have always been there. Period. I was around when he was in a relationship with her."
Erica also sent what appears to be a warning to Diamond about spreading lies.
"Diamond, you and I both know how that relationship went and things that went on. I could do an interview and put so much out there, but for what? Keep it real. You don't have to fabricate anything to make yourself look a certain way."

Sex, Lies, Videotapes & Paternity Tests: Watch The 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Season 3 Supertrailer
If at several points during the last season of "Love & Hip Hop" you felt the urge to holler out "When are Joseline and Stevie coming back?" you'll be pleased to know the season three of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" returns to VH1 May 5. If you thought last season was crazy, prepare to have your mind blown because this just may be Mona Scott-Young's messiest work of art to date.
For one, things have gotten so crazy with the other cast members that in comparison to everyone else, Joseline and Stevie are looking like a normal married couple. Despite publicly begging for his wife's forgiveness, it looks like Kirk Frost is still up to his old tricks. Not only does he question the paternity of his son, Karter, but he goes as far as to secretly swab the baby for DNA testing.
It turns out that all of those rumors about MiMi Faust and Nikko having a sex tape floating around are true as well. While both MiMi and Nikko seem to at least pretend that they don't know how the tape got out, Stevie appears to believe that Nikko leaked it. And then, there's Scrappy who may have a baby on the way by another woman whom it appears that he cheated on Bambi with. So prepare to witness the deterioration of their very brief relationship.
Witness the insanity for yourself on the next page.
Back In Her Bed: Are Erica and Lil Scrappy Getting Back Together?
You know how it goes with Erica and Lil Scrappy. One minute the "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" couple is on and the next they're not. And since their split last season both of them have been in publicized relationships. But now…the two are simultaneously single. So of course folks are speculating that they might be getting back together. And recent pictures are adding fuel to that rumored fire.
Yesterday, Erica posted this picture of Scrappy and their daughter Emani asleep in bed with this caption.
Why they sleep though? #waittilltheyseethis @emanirichardson is really gonna be mad. #morning #familyandfriends #teamnosleep
Immediately, folks started rumors. A fake Erica Dixon posted this picture with the following caption on a fake Facebook page.
Erica was quick to get on Twitter and let folks know that she didn't write that. But she did post the picture. After this one she posted pictures of she and Emani on vacation in Florida, so perhaps Scrappy joined them. If that is indeed the case, that would have been nice. Erica and Scrappy are often a hot mess together but you can tell they're both invested in raising their child the right way and I respect that.
On another note, I know I may be in the minority here but I really like Scrappy and Erica together. It always seemed to me like a majority of their problems stemmed from Mama Dee's meddling behind… Oh and the fact that he was probably cheating. Yeah, he's been dead wrong. Sigh. Who knows. We'll have to see how this all plays out.
Do you think there's a chance that Erica and Scrappy would get back together? Do you like them together?

Manoj Patel and Frank Greywitt III aren't your typical travelers. Instead of beelining through airport security or racing to their seats, the co-managers of the $3.9 billion DWS RREEF Global Infrastructure fund (ticker: TOLLX) are taking mental notes on an airport's layout or the number of passengers aboard their flight. On toll roads, they count the number of commercial vehicles and peer into cars to gauge the popularity of the route with commuters. "Commuter traffic is more stable and predictable; commercial and industrial traffic is more sensitive to economic cycles," Patel explains.
The co-managers' shared interest in infrastructure is perhaps rooted in their similar upbringings. While growing up in Cleveland, Greywitt assisted his father in maintaining the apartment buildings he owned, while Patel helped his family do everything from clean rooms to man the front desk at the motel they ran in St. Louis. Both started as real estate analysts. Greywitt joined Deutsche Bank (parent to DWS) in 2005 as an analyst; Patel came aboard in 2011 after managing listed infrastructure funds at Brookfield Investment Management.
Few colleagues refer to one without mentioning the other, but their personalities and the way they analyze investments differ. Patel, 34, tends to take a bigger-picture view and is more intuitive, whereas Greywitt, 36, tends to be more data-driven and methodical. The Gilbert and Sullivan–like partnership seems to be working, with the DWS RREEF Infrastructure fund returning an average of 17% over their last three years at the fund, putting it at the top of Morningstar's world stock category.

Infrastructure is a global challenge. The U.S. energy boom has created demand for new oil and natural-gas pipelines, as well as storage and distribution networks. Meanwhile, developing countries like India and Brazil need to build ports, railways, power plants, and water and sewer systems. About $57 trillion in global infrastructure investment is needed by 2030, McKinsey Global Institute estimated last year.
Patel and Greywitt don't define infrastructure too broadly when choosing companies for their 40-stock fund. "We want owners and the gatekeepers, not the builders or the companies that supply materials and construction equipment," Patel says. Think toll-road, pipeline, and airport owners, rather than cement and steel companies.
The draw: stable cash flows. Many of these companies have regulated or long-term contracts, so pricing is not a major risk. These businesses also tend to be less volatile than others, since ports, pipelines, cellphone towers, and the like provide essential services. While it costs a lot to build these assets, ongoing costs tend to be predictable, resulting in higher operating margins than other businesses—and that stability provides a nice cushion in a volatile market. "That's the appeal," Patel says.
Many of these companies are structured as master limited partnerships, or MLPs, which offer high payouts. But the fund, which has a yield of just 1.2%, is focused more on total return. Although there is a lot of focus on infrastructure in emerging markets these days, the managers see more opportunity in developed markets, especially amid the U.S. energy boom. About 43% of the fund's assets are stateside, with less than 10% in emerging markets—namely Hong Kong, China, and Mexico.
The duo creates discounted cash-flow models for at least a decade out for about 150 companies and meets with executives—especially those who operate the assets. "At the core, only two things matter: interest rates and cash flow," Greywitt says.
But interest rates have become a lot trickier to predict. "Now it's going to be more complex," Patel says. "There are a lot more variables out there."

Take Europe, for example. The fund had been overweight European stocks, as low interest rates were driving the market higher. But now the duo questions the region's growth prospects, and is much more selective. One of its more contrarian holdings is Hamburger Hafen und Logistik HHFA.xe -0.4920049200492005% Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG ADR U.S.: OTC USD8.09 -0.04 -0.4920049200492005% /Date(1470954003000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 100 P/E Ratio 19.261904761904763 Market Cap 1140679504.5975 Dividend Yield 4.095723114956737% Rev. per Employee 233819 More quote details and news » (HHFA.Germany), which operates port terminals in Hamburg and has run into dredging-related regulations that have boosted its costs. But the stock has priced in the impact, and it's possible that regulations will pass this summer that allow the Elbe River to be dredged, improving the situation, Greywitt says.
More broadly, the pair have been shifting away from the government-regulated pipeline and utility holdings they favored in 2011 when rates were falling, and into companies that can benefit as the economy improves and rates start rising. That includes companies like Italian port firm Atlantia ATL.mi 0.7522123893805309% Atlantia S.p.A.

"New revenue flows right to the bottom line because they come at almost no cost," Patel says.
The pair is also finding opportunity as the U.S. capitalizes on the boom in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Many investors have flocked to energy MLPs because of their hefty yields, but Greywitt says some MLPs are barely able to generate enough cash flow to pay out their distributions. "Between 2009 and 2012, MLPs all went up," Greywitt says. "Over the past 12 to 18 months, there was a bifurcation." Only 5% of fund assets are in MLPs, with the managers favoring those with a clear advantage and strong balance sheets, like Enterprise Products Partners EPD -0.700589970501475% Enterprise Products Partners L.P. U.S.: NYSE USD26.93 -0.19 -0.700589970501475% /Date(1475010123167-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2107193 AFTER HOURS USD26.93 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 21.544 Market Cap 56803927617.183 Dividend Yield 5.941329372447085% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (EPD).

New technology has helped turn around its declining cash flows by boosting production at its wells and positioning it to benefit from emerging shale-gas plays.
As more retail investors look to infrastructure, Greywitt notes that it will have its up-and-down periods but over a business cycle can offer a higher level of return for the risk that investors take on. The key, adds Greywitt: "This is an asset class that should be part of a portfolio through the cycle."

These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of PH4071in our 2015, and 2016 Polo range.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The quadratic shape is a good choice, especially for softer facial features. The square glasses give more contour to a round face. The straight outer edges also give the impression that the face is longer. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Black eyeglasses are a must-have. They can be combined with anything and refine any style. Whether at your desk, in a club or at a fashion show - black always fits. Similar to grey, brown lenses don't distort the visual impression as much as other colours do. With all other shades, the eyes take longer to neutralize the colour impression. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
Even if this Polo is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.
