So you think you know steaks? Maybe you do.
But the truth is, you probably only really know the particular cuts you buy over and over again. That's good, but there's a world of great beef out there to explore. And many of those cuts (and by the way, butchers are creating new ones all the time) are far more versatile than you think.
You could spend ages learning the different cuts of beef and the various names for each (there isn't nearly as much naming standardization as you would think). But I think it's better to simply pick a cut you haven't often prepared at home and start playing around with it. That's how I learned to love flank steak.
First, the basics. Flank steaks are lean cuts from the rear side of the cow and are characterized by rich, deep beefy flavor and a slightly chewy texture. Traditionally, London broils were made using flank steaks, though today any of the leaner, less tender cuts often are substituted.
Flank steaks are easy to identify by sight because they are flat and have a long, horizontal grain that runs the length of the meat. These steaks are meant to be briefly grilled or broiled to rare or medium-rare, then thinly sliced across the grain. The result is deliciously beefy and substantial.
Flank steaks also love to be marinated. And because they have a heartier texture, they can handle more acidic marinades for longer, even overnight.
When shopping for flank steaks, note that some grocers will label them "London broil." Just note that they also sometimes label other cuts as "London broil," too. So when in doubt, it's best to ask.
For the weeknight home cook, flank steaks are the perfect cut. They can be tossed with a marinade the night before and left in the refrigerator until dinner. And they cook in just minutes on the grill or under the broiler. As with all meat, flank steak should rest for five to 10 minutes after cooking before slicing to let the juices redistribute.

Balsamic-Pepper Flank Steak With Grilled Pears and Blue Cheese
From J.M. Hirsch/Associated Press food editor
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
Kosher salt
1½ pounds flank steak
2 pears, peeled, halved and cored
Crumbled blue cheese, for topping
In a blender, combine the vinegar, garlic, peppercorns and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Blend for 20 seconds, then transfer to a wide, shallow bowl.
Add the steak to the marinade, turning to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to cook, heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from the heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat it lightly with cooking spray.
Cut each pear half into 4 slices, then arrange them on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
Remove the steak from the marinade and set it on the other half of the sheet. Broil everything for 5 minutes, then use tongs to flip the steak and pears. Broil for another 5 minutes for medium-rare.
Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes, then cut into thin slices against the grain. Divide the slices between 4 serving plates, then top each with pear slices.
Top each serving with a bit of crumbled blue cheese.
Start to finish: 30 minutes (plus marinating). Servings: 4.
Note: For extra flavor, the marinade can be mixed with beef broth, then boiled and reduced until thick (while the steaks cook), then drizzled over the finished dish.

State fair finalists
Continuing with our presentation of recipes from the 2012 New York State Fair, these three each were finalists in their respective contests: Stephanie Bergman, of Fayetteville, with Noodle Kugel; Stanley Wenndt, of Rome, with CNY Riggie Burgers; and Rob Newman, of Truxton, with Bobby Todd Burgers.
CNY Riggie Burgers
From Stanley Wenndt, of Rome
1 small onion, diced
6 cherry peppers, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 small can diced black olives
3 mushrooms, fresh diced
1 25-ounce jar of Cora's vodka sauce
2 pounds 85 percent lean ground beef
½ cup Shiraz red wine
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Ground black pepper, to taste
New York sharp cheddar cheese
Kaiser rolls
Riggie Sauce: In a skillet with olive oil, saute onions for 5 minutes at medium heat. Add green pepper and cherry peppers for 5 minutes. Add black olives and reduce heat to low for 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with wine and add vodka sauce for final 5 minutes.
Burgers: While the sauce is simmering, form burgers into 1/3-pound patties, thin enough to cover the Kaiser rolls. Grill on medium heat until internal temperature is 160 degrees. When the burgers are almost done, toast the Kaiser rolls on grill.
To serve the burgers: Place a slice of cheese on the bottom part of the bun, add the burger, then top with a generous portion of the Riggie Sauce and the top part of the bun. Serve hot with lots of napkins.
Note: This recipe was a finalist in the Create the Perfect Burger contest, sponsored by the New York Beef Industry Council, at the 2012 New York State Fair. Stanley Wenndt was a first-time finalist who has more than 20 years of cooking experience and enjoys cooking an creating new recipes. This recipe capitalizes on two of the best culinary flavors of CNY, he notes: backyard burgers and the flavor of chicken riggies -- but without the chicken.
Bobby Todd Burgers
From Rob Newman, of Truxton
Bobby Todd Mix:
½ cup chopped green chilies
½ cup sliced sauteed baby bella mushrooms
½ cup pitted kalamata olives
Blue Cheese Peppercorn Butter:
½ cup (1 stick) butter
¾ cup crumbled blue cheese (preferably from New York state)
1½ tablespoons crushed black/pink peppercorns
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/8 teaspoon dried tarragon
Hamburger Mix:
1 pound ground chuck
1 pound ground sirloin
1 grated onion
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 ciabatta rolls
Romaine lettuce leaves
Bobby Todd Mix: Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
Blue Cheese Peppercorn Butter: Blend all ingredients together in food processor. This can be prepared 1 day ahead of time.
Hamburger Mix: Blend well, then form into 12 patties. Take 1 patty and top with one-sixth of the Bobby Todd mix. Cover with another patty and seal edges. Continue until you have six burgers.
When the grill is hot, oil the rack and cook the burgers over medium-high heat until they reach 160 degrees internal temperature.
Slice and toast the ciabatta rolls.
When burgers are done, let rest 3 to 4 minutes. During rest period, spread a generous amount of Blue Cheese Peppercorn Butter on top and bottom of rolls.
Place patty on bottom of roll and top with romaine lettuce and top of roll.
Note: This recipe was a finalist in the Create the Perfect Burger contest, sponsored by the New York Beef Industry Council, at the 2012 New York State Fair. Rob Newman was a first-time finalist who has more than 40 years of cooking experience and won a chili contest about 7 years ago. He said was inspired by a chicken recipe and figured it would be better on a burger.
Noodle Kugel
From Stephanie Bergman, of Fayetteville
8 ounces wide egg noodles, cooked and drained according to package directions
6 eggs
¼ cup milk
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
16 ounces sour cream
16 ounces cottage cheese
1 stick (4 ounces or ½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
Topping:2 cups crushed corn flakes (approximately 6 to 7 ounces)
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 stick (4 ounces or ½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9- by 13- by 2-inch pan.
In a large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla.
Increase speed to medium; add cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese and melted butter. Beat until smooth.
Pour into buttered pan, on top of the noodles.
Topping: In small bowl, mix (with fork and gloved hand) corn flakes and light brown sugar.
Add melted butter and mix until all 3 items are thoroughly integrated.
Distribute topping evenly over entire kugel mixture (works best by hand).
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to set about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serves 24.
-This recipe was a daily division winner at the 2012 New York State Fair.
-The kugel may be frozen, but defrost it before reheating.
-To reheat entire kugel, cover with foil and heat at 350 until warmed through. Remove foil for the last few minutes in order to re-crisp the top.
-To reheat a single piece, use toaster oven (top re-crisps better this way than in microwave).

By Dan King - Newcastle United Digital Editor
Midfielder Dan Gosling played another 90 minutes for Blackpool as they drew 1-1 with Birmingham City on Saturday.
But fellow Newcastle loanee Shane Ferguson, who pulled out of the Northern Ireland squad last week through illness, did not feature at St. Andrew's.
Conor Newton went in search of a third goal in three games against Hiberian in the Scottish Premier League, but in the end nobody scored as Terry Butcher's first game in charge of the visitors ended in a 0-0 draw.
Michael Richardson was an unused substitute as Accrington Stanley beat Torquay 2-1 while on Sunday, Mehdi Abeid watched from the bench as Panathinaikos beat AS Giannina 3-1.
And on Friday, Romain Amalfitano appeared as a 65th minute substitute as Dijon beat Nancy 1-0.

Heat's Rashard Lewis has throwback night at Magic's expense
Rashard Lewis spent plenty nights in an Orlando Magic uniform patrolling the 3-point line and filling up the score sheet. Donning Miami Heat colors and filling in for the injured Shane Battier on Saturday night, Lewis put on a performance that Orlando remembers all too well.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- This wasn't quite the throwback the Orlando Magic envisioned.
It didn't go as far back as the replicas of the black uniforms with white pinstripes from the franchise's formative years that they wore Saturday night against the Miami Heat. This nostalgia trip involved memories of when Rashard Lewis and a host of teammates would hover around the 3-point arc and wait for Jameer Nelson or Dwight Howard to find them open.
Lewis now wears a Heat uniform. And with Shane Battier unavailable because of a bruised quad, the NBA veteran of 16 years left his former team feeling a bit bruised by going 3-for-6 from long range on his way to a season-high 18 points.
"It was almost like perfect timing," Lewis said following the Heat's 110-94 victory. "You don't wish nothing bad on one of your teammates to get hurt. But (coach Eric Spoelstra) called my name to come out and start tonight, and I went out and played well. I'm very happy about that, especially playing in front of these fans."
Lewis did all of his scoring through the first three quarters and also finished with four rebounds, three steals, two assists and a blocked shot. He did his share of carving up the Magic the night after having dinner at a steakhouse near where he used to live in Winter Park and being greeted by no lack of well-wishers.
"It brings back a lot of memories of when I played here and had a lot of fun," he said. "It's always fun, especially when you get fans saying 'we miss you' and 'welcome back.' That always gives you a good feeling."
Lewis came to the Magic in the summer of 2007 from the Seattle SuperSonics. Two years later, they reached the Finals. But a week before Christmas 2010, he was traded to the Washington Wizards for Gilbert Arenas, a deal that played a huge role in the eventual exit of Magic general manager Otis Smith.
Other than Nelson, no one remains from that magical run of 2009.
"Even though the team is much different, I'm sure it never gets old to beat your former team," Spoelstra said. "And even though he probably wouldn't say it, it probably is special."
Lewis scored the first six points of the Heat's 15-0 explosion during the third quarter, which allowed them to seize control. Four of them came when LeBron James found him open in the corner and Lewis let it fly with Tobias Harris bearing down on him.
The basket and subsequent free throw gave the Heat a 64-59 lead. Their advantage grew to 14 points two minutes later, and the Magic never got any closer than within nine points of them the rest of the way.
"I saw (Harris) closing out on me pretty hard, and I just went up for the shot," Lewis said. "He kind of ran up underneath me. I'm just glad I made the shot, especially when he hit me."
A case can be made for Lewis, during his years in Seattle and Orlando, paving the way for players like Harris who can play either forward position and hoist 3-pointers without hesitation.
"A guy his size that can shoot the 3 ball and play either the 3 or 4, you want guys like that on your team," said Harris, who ended up with 17 points and 10 rebounds but was only 1-for-5 from 3-point range. "He had a great night tonight. He was a real boost for them."
Learning how to provide that boost after years of being a starter was a challenge for Lewis, who ranks seventh on the NBA's all-time list for 3-pointers made, after coming to the Heat. Watching Mike Miller flourish in a similar role during his time in Miami served as a template for him.
"This year is a lot easier because I'm adjusting to it," he said. "I know on a veteran team, it can be any guy on any given night. You've just always got to be prepared and be ready when your name is called."
Added Spoelstra: "That's part of the depth we talk about. It's not easy to have those guys on your bench that aren't necessarily playing on a night-to-night basis but are keeping themselves ready. And when we need them, they step in and they can perform."
When that happens in a city where Lewis once called home, it's that much sweeter.

So on Tuesday, Bill Hanshumaker of the Hatfield Marine Science Center coaxed the 45-pound giant Pacific octopus out of his tank, put him in a garbage can, drove him to Newport's South Jetty and dumped him into the water.
"He might go find himself a girlfriend," Hanshumaker said.
Hanshumaker said the center keeps an octopus for educational purposes for one to two years until it reaches full breeding age and it's too big for predators in Yaquina Bay to eat it.
Since octopus feeding and hiding habits are deeply ingrained, Reuben should be just fine on his own, Hanshumaker said. Giant Pacific octopuses live for three to five years and can grow to weights of 100 pounds as adults. They kill prey with a paralyzing sting that turns the meal into mush.
When he arrived at Hatfield, the octopus formerly known as "Ruby" had yet to develop his hectocotylus, a modified tentacle that male octopuses use to deliver sperm to their mates.
The gender of Reuben's replacement is similarly ambiguous, Hanshumaker said. Already in quarantine, "Wecoma" is ready to occupy Reuben's tank. He said the name comes from the Oregon State University research ship whose crew caught and donated the octopus, and it'll work for either a male or female.
As for Reuben, Hanshumaker said he'll dive into the bay in a week or so to see if he's still hanging around. There's no way to tag an octopus, though, Hanshumaker said, so there will be no way to know whether he goes to another spot in the bay or heads out to sea, where he may face more dangerous predators, such as sharks, than in the bay.

ROBERT MANGOLD Beyond the Line: Paintings and Project 2000–2008
Friday, October 23, 2009–Sunday, January 31, 2010
Organized by Albright-Knox Chief Curator Douglas Dreishpoon, this exhibition honors the outstanding career of Robert Mangold, an artist whose native roots are in Buffalo and who has been a major figure in the investigation of geometric abstraction since the 1960s. Born in North Tonawanda, New York, in 1937, Mangold's earliest visits to an art museum were to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
This nearly ten-year survey explores the development of the artist's paintings and works on paper with his "Curled Figures," "Columns," "Column Structures," and most recently his "Ring Images" series. Mangold's monumental commission for the colored glass windows in Buffalo's new United States Courthouse, scheduled to open in July 2010, will also be featured in the exhibition through architectural models, preliminary sketches, and photographs that document the building and the site. Designed by architect William Pedersen, the courthouse will connect Buffalo's illustrious architectural past with its future.
In commemoration of the important exhibition ROBERT MANGOLD | Beyond the Line: Paintings and Project 2000–2008, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, in association with Harry N. Abrams, Inc., has published a clothbound book that serves as both the exhibition catalogue and a document of the United States Courthouse commission. The book traces Mangold's artistic roots and development, from his austere geometric paintings of the 1970s to his work on the Buffalo courthouse windows and the animated ring images he is creating today. Insightful essays by exhibition curator Douglas Dreishpoon; Marla Prather, senior consultant in the Department of Nineteenth-Century, Modern, and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and architect William Pedersen, along with an in-depth interview by Dreishpoon with the artist, afford an intimate look at his process.
The book is available in both a Collectors Edition and in a Museum Trade Edition.

It's often thought eating nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains is more costly than eating highly processed foods. But as a mom on a budget I've learned with a little savvy shopping, it can be done. And now, with the NuVal™ Nutritional Scoring System, it's even easier to shop with nutrition and budget in mind. Here are a few of the ways I've found to save money without sacrificing taste or nutrition when shopping at Big Y:
1. In place of fresh veggies, I sometimes purchase No Salt Added canned varieties and frozen veggies without added sauces. This allows me to choose options that are on sale or simply more affordable. It also gives me the chance to compare brands to save. I was so excited to find Big Y Steamin' Easy Frozen Peas for $0.15 cheaper than the same product from a leading competitor. And with the same nutrition (they both have a NuVal™ Score of 96) why not make the switch?
2. Like veggies, I shop for fruit in all its forms to meet my daily Fruit Group goals. Fresh, frozen, canned, dried and 100% juice – there are so many to choose from! Here I found Big Y Prune Juice for $0.56 less than other brands. To top it off, it even had a higher NuVal™ Score (26 versus 25)!
3. The savings even continue in the cereal aisle. When selecting Raisin Bran for my family, I found our Big Y brand was priced at $2.89 with a NuVal™ Score of 26, while a leading national brand of Raisin Bran cost $3.59 with the same NuVal™ Score, saving me $0.70! Same nutrition, same great taste, for less money. It's simple.
With just three simple swaps, I was able to save $1.41 without sacrificing taste, quality or nutrition. While it may not seem like a lot of money, savvy shopping like this can save you $10.00 on just 20 items! To learn more about shopping with the NuVal™ System, contact myself or Carrie by writing us an e-mail or visit Big Y's NuVal™ Section to learn more.

|Mars HIll Audio
|Written by Sherry
|Thursday, 22 March 2007 16:14
Mars Hill Audio Journal is a specialized service for thoughtful Christians. The Journal is a monthly 90 minute series of 10 - 15 minutes audio interviews intended to provoke engagement with our culture. Ken Myers, who worked for National Public Radio as a producer for 8 years, chooses the topics they run the gamit from community-building, literature, music, art, law, history, life issues. The Journal is what I would call "High Ecumenical" and features a number of Catholic interviewees and topics such a J R R Tolkien, Gerard Manley Hopkins, or Ralph McInerney.
Their purpose:
"We believe that fulfilling the commands to love God and neighbor requires that we pay careful attention to the neighborhood: that is, every sphere of human life where God is either glorified or despised, where neighbors are either edified or undermined. Therefore, living as disciples of Christ pertains not just to prayer, evangelism, and Bible study, but also our enjoyment of literature and music, our use of tools and machines, our eating and drinking, our views on government and economics, and so on."

A pair of home runs, one each by Jimmy Martinez and Ryan McMillin, gave Western Michigan University's baseball team momentum as it rallied late for an 8-4 win over Northeastern Thursday in West Palm Beach, Fla.
With the Broncos down 4-1 after five innings, Martinez smashed a two-run homer in the sixth inning, followed by McMillin's solo shot to lead off the seventh and tie the game.
WMU (4-7) scored three more runs in the final two innings as starter Brian Stroud (2-1) and Troy Forton shut out Northeastern (0-7) the rest of the way. Stroud, who struck out nine batters in seven innings, picked up his second win, while Forton held Northeastern hitless in two innings of work.
Vinnie Booker, Grant Simotes and Jack Scanlon gave the Broncos two hits apiece, and Forton, Patrick Duncan and Brooks Beilke added one each.

Inside Newark: Decline, Rebellion,
and the Search for Transformation
Robert Curvin
Rutgers University Press, 377 pp., $27.95
Reviewed by Jonathan E. Lazarus
Robert Curvin's probing, highly personal and painfully fair appraisal of Newark's past six decades can be summed up by slightly altering Gertrude Stein's famous pronouncement to read: There just isn't enough there there yet.
While Stein was referring to her arid childhood, Curvin indirectly suggests the imagery in establishing a balance sheet for the Brick City through this unsparing new book, "Inside Newark." His conclusion: Despite measurable and continuing progress, the city is still beset by critical deficiencies often fueled by warring and self-limiting impulses.
Among the specific shortcomings, Curvin sees too few residents engaging on significant issues; lack of consistent corporate, academic and foundation initiatives beyond the downtown; uneven results from sports, cultural and entertainment ventures; overly generous tax abatements; insufficient job training; meager smart housing; and fewer smart schools.
Even this litany of woes doesn't factor in the egregious behavior of past mayors, the dysfunction of the school board, a bloated and parochial city council, tone-deaf civil servants and a police department so depleted it recently had to be propped by state troopers after a record year of homicides.
Consider that of Newark's past four mayors, two have gone to prison (Hugh Addonizio and Sharpe James), one escaped tax retrial through a plea bargain (Kenneth Gibson, for non-Newark charges), and one swanned off to the U.S. Senate (Cory Booker). The incoming mayor, Ras Baraka, is a product of the overperked city council and the union-dominated education system. The son of poet/activist Amiri Baraka, whose image hovers over the book like a doppelganger, he proudly proclaims himself the anti-Booker.
Adding complexity and dissonance to the mix is that Newark really isn't its own agent. A significant portion of its revenues are funneled through the state, and the school board has operated under Trenton's oversight since 1995. The city is, de jure and de facto, dependent on the kindness of strangers. Currently, legislators are leaning hard on Newark's ill-balanced books and severe measures could be imminent.
Curvin, a former community activist, urban affairs editorial writer and foundation trustee, is a visiting public policy scholar at Rutgers. He is blunt and clear-eyed about the city that stokes his passion. To reach the elusive "next level" of post-riot recovery, he challenges Newarkers to confront their systemic shortfalls. The solutions will take years to realize and pivot on the twin goals of educating youngsters properly and breaking the generational legacy of concentrated poverty, which the author cites as the city's "overarching" problem.
On education, nothing registers more grimly than the chapter titled "Pity the Children" with passages describing the revolving door of school superintendents and the politics greasing their exits. As "Inside Newark" debuts, the current superintendent is launching her controversial One Newark education plan — criticized as long on choice, short on transportation and inherently polarizing.
While studies have accumulated on urban dilemmas in general and Newark's in particular, Curvin manages to exploit his perspectives as both an observer and a participant to gauge the feelings of hope and despair that have marked the Brick City's upheavals from a manufacturing center of immigrants to an out-migration destination for southern blacks to decades of postwar decline to July 12, 1967, when all things imploded.
On that night, Curvin, a co-founder of the Newark Area Congress of Racial Equality, was summoned to Fourth Precinct headquarters, the ground zero of tension, to try to calm a crowd incensed by reports of a cabbie's beating. This is the febrile line of demarcation for "Inside Newark" and, as the author notes, the five days that followed could be stamped a riot, a rebellion or a civil disorder, depending on one's politics, ethnicity, race or geographical relationship to events.
Nearly half a century later, after watershed battles over a medical school, an occupation of a major university, the seminal black and Puerto Rican convention, and pioneering hiring and rights protests, Curvin emerges as a booster and a cautionary.
He writes with palpable enthusiasm about the bricks-and-mortar accomplishments of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the Prudential Center, the museum, light rail line, expansion of college campuses, and housing and commercial stimulus. Yet the persistent disconnect between officials and residents troubles him greatly, as does Newark politics practiced as a blood sport devoid of "vision".
"Inside Newark" asserts itself as a robust "hybrid" of scholarly research and personal recollection. Curvin's associations with key figures, extensive interviews and institutional memory mesh forcefully and lend amplitude to the narrative. Anyone who resides in or near the city, or once did, or feels like a stakeholder in the great urban outcome should dwell deeply on his journey.

ALBANY, N.Y. — Army National Guard soldiers from across New York are preparing to mobilize in support of U.S. military operations in the Middle East.
Guard officials say some 1,800 soldiers assigned to the Syracuse-based 27th Brigade Combat Team will mobilize this weekend as part of the brigade's deployment to Kuwait. The soldiers will head first to Camp Shelby in Mississippi before departing for Kuwait in April.
The deployment is expected to last up to a year.
Most of the soldiers are members of the New York National Guard's Utica-based 108th Infantry Regiment, which has elements in the Mohawk and Hudson valleys and in the Finger Lakes region.
Other units being deployed include New York City's 69th Infantry Regiment and battalions with units based in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and the North Country.

I am not sure UA administrators realize how deafening their silence was. Westboro Baptist Church came to our school and used triggering, homophobic slurs to glorify the deaths of LGBTQ+ people.

Brie and Carmalized Onion Grilled Cheese
R Savory, tangy, and buttery. For the last of our grilled cheese extravaganza, we're going with a savory brie grilled cheese. This is the most simple of the three and that's because there's nothing that needs to be added to a pile of brie smothered in caramelized onions to make this any better.
- Onion, sliced
- Olive oil
- English Muffin loaf (similar to sourdough)
- Brie
- Butter
- Place a little olive oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan. Heat over medium-low heat.
- Once hot, add the sliced onion, making sure to have a thin layer with non of the onion overlapped. Reduce the heat to low and let the onions cook slowly until caramelized, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Once the onions have caramelized, assemble the sandwiches by stacking the brie and the caramelized onions onto a slice of bread. Top with another slice of bread.
- Butter the slices of bread and place on a preheated grilled or flat skillet.
- Cook 2-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread has browned on both sides and the cheese is melted.
What's your favorite grilled cheese?

QuickBooks Gives Emkin Toys New Marketing Tools to Play With
Being in the toy business is rewarding, but it isn't all fun and games, says Emily Finegold, owner of Emkin Toys in Hatboro, Pa.
Despite her creative genius and nearly a decade of experience as a toy designer, she's found promoting a startup toy company to be difficult at times. Fortunately, the popularity of her breakout product (pictured) is effectively telling competitors to put a sock in it.
"My mom asked me if I would make her a puppet to use as a prop when she was asked to read at my nephew's school story time," Finegold explains. "I decided that I would use a sock, since it seemed like a simple way to make a puppet. It didn't work out quite as I planned, but luckily a new creature was created, and that was My First Socktopus."
My First Socktopus was the first toy officially designed and developed by Emkin Toys, the company Finegold launched in 2013. The bright colors and patterns of this imaginative, ultra-cuddly octopus — which has socks for tentacles — have been a big hit with little ones, she says.
"I gave one to my friend's baby on a whim, and he loved it," Finegold says. "And so I started making more."
She'd eventually like to bring My First Socktopus to children around the world. To that end, Finegold recently entered QuickBooks' Small Business Local Buzz campaign.
"This prize," she explains in her entry, "would provide us with a way to engage in online promotions through blogs and Facebook, create a video for our Kickstarter campaign, and present to potential investors."
QuickBooks didn't play around with Finegold's request. It notified the small-business owner this week that she is a recipient of a customized marketing package worth $5,000.
"The video is what I'm really excited about and just being able to reach another level — another tier of people beyond my Facebook and LinkedIn friends," Finegold says. "I want to branch [out] beyond that, and I hope this is a stepping stone."
Finegold intends to leverage the popularity of My First Socktopus to expand Emkin Toys and "create all of the other ideas inside of my head."

ALBANY, N.Y. — A federal jury is recessing until Wednesday after notifying the judge it has verdicts on two corruption charges against former New York Senate Republican leader Joseph Bruno, but can't agree on the other six.
The jury didn't say if the verdicts after three days of deliberations are guilty or not guilty. Jurors returned to the courtroom twice briefly Tuesday after sending Judge Gary Sharpe notes about their split. After additional instructions, they went back to try again.
The 80-year-old retired politician faces eight federal fraud counts. Prosecutors told the jury that Bruno schemed to defraud New Yorkers and concealed his sideline business dealings.
Bruno insists he did nothing wrong and never betrayed the public's trust.

Brinkmanship over a bandh
The DMK has now become the largest UPA ally. This factor has triggered renewed political activity in TN.
It is nearly two years yet for the next general elections, but strong posturing and quiet realignment have begun to churn Dravidian politics. The Bharat bandh called on September 20 by the BJP to condemn multi-brand FDI in retail trade, the fuel price hike and several other issues elicited a lukewarm response in Tamil Nadu. What triggered interest in a state with a miniscule saffron party presence was the politics played out on the sidelines by the ruling AIADMK and its rival, the DMK.
On September 18, a day of high drama, the DMK, a key UPA ally, announced its decision to join the nationwide oppositionsponsored bandh a short while after Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee decided to pull out of the UPA. The AIADMK government, which until then was seen as tacitly supporting the opposition's bandh call, hurriedly issued a statement saying that schools would remain open and other essential services would function as usual, thus narrowly averting making common cause with its archrival.
Tamil Nadu school education director, K Devarajan, went on record to say the government had not taken a stand yet, but admitted there had been a plan to shut down schools as students were bound to be inconvenienced due to the bandh. "There was a proposal (to declare a holiday for schools), but before we could decide, somebody went public with it, " he said. CM and AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa, however, chose not to go public with her stand on the bandh. The AIADMK unions functioned as usual on the bandh day and her state government ensured that the protests did not disrupt public services across the state in any way.
Earlier, before the AIADMK had backtracked, DMK spokesperson and MP, TKS Elangovan, said about the party's decision to join the bandh: "The Congress might have its compulsions, but we have our views and policies and we are with the people. " As an aside, senior leaders pointed out that while the party would leverage its strength in the alliance to force the UPA government to roll back diesel prices and FDI in multi-brand retail, it was not likely to withdraw support.
Party chief M Karunanidhi later urged his cadres and party-affiliated trade unions to make the bandh a success even while ensuring it went off peacefully. "People are already reeling under the increase in transport, milk, electricity charges and the prices of essential commodities. The Centre's decision to increase diesel price, limit subsidised cooking gas and allow FDI in multi-brand retail has burdened the common man, " he said.
What is of significance is the unexpected repositioning of the UPA allies. With the exit of Mamata's 19 MPs, the DMK, with 18 representatives in the Lok Sabha, finds itself to be the single largest ally of the Congress and is bound to flex its muscles. The party had already formed a loose alliance within the coalition, ganging up with Sharad Pawar's NCP and the Trinamool Congress to act as a pressure group against the Congress. On bandh day, Union minister M K Alagiri, the DMK's sole representative in the Union Cabinet, met Pawar and NCP Union minister Praful Patel to discuss the political developments and how they could use their weight in the UPA to call the shots.
On September 14, when the UPA government made the series of announcements on FDI, fuel price and LPG, Karunanidhi said, "They (the Centre) did not consult us. " Asked if his party would quit the UPA over the issue as Mamata was threatening to, Karunanidhi replied, "I don't know how to threaten. " As for AIADMK, still shying from making its closeness to the BJP official, it is early days yet. Party chief Jayalalithaa, who has been consistently urging her cadres to start preparing for Lok Sabha polls, has preferred to keep her options open for now.

Coupeville eliminated 46-36
Cold shooting from the floor brought an end to the Coupeville High School boys basketball season Tuesday evening as the Friday Harbor Wolverines eliminated the Wolves 46-36 in a loser-out game of the Class 1A sub-district tournament.
Coupeville put together a strong defensive effort, similar to its performances against Archbishop Murphy and Cedarcrest in the final two games of the regular season, but the Wolves simply couldnt get their shots to fall against Friday Harbor.
On Dec. 21, the Wolverines defeated the Wolf Pack 54-50 in a non-league game and Tuesdays matchup was just as close until late in the fourth quarter when Coupeville was forced into committing fouls and Friday Harbor knocked down seven shots from the charity stripe.
I think our defensive plan was pretty good and we accomplished most of what we wanted to do, coach Randy King said. We just couldnt get our shots to go down like theyve been doing in previous games.
The Wolverines took a 10-8 lead after the first quarter of play and were up 20-17 at halftime.
The third period was hotly contested and the lead changed hands three times, before Friday Harbor inched ahead. The Wolverines were leading 32-28 until Zepher Loesch drilled a 3-pointer for Coupeville with one second showing on the clock, to shave the lead to by a single point, 32-31, heading into the final eight minutes of action.
In the fourth quarter, the Wolves couldnt find the basket at all and scored just five points.
Meanwhile, Austin Scheffer connected for seven of his game-high 16 points as the Wolverines put 14 points on the board to win going away.
It was a tight game and we just had a couple of defensive breakdowns in the fourth quarter, King said. We had two players on the ball and that left Scheffer, their 3-point specialist, open and he knocked it down. Then we didnt get 25 (Erik Nash) covered in transition. Thats five points plus the free throws.
King said the Wolves got into kind of a desperation mode late in the game and were forced to commit fouls.
Brian Miller was uncontrollable at the post, but they made it difficult for us to get the ball to him, King said.
Miller paced Coupeville with 12 points and Alex Evans scored eight points.
Tommy Fowler was the second player in double figures for Friday Harbor with 10 points and Parker Lawson had eight.
Coupeville ends the season with an 11-10 overall record.
Friday Harbor 46, Coupeville 36
Friday Harbor 10 10 12 14 46

Just a few pictures I took to share with you all….such a beautiful place full of sun, fresh food, fruits and beautiful people. If you havent been,I would recommend Jamaica 10 times over. I have had the most wonderful time in Ocho Rios with family and friends over the last 2 weeks. Soaking up the sun and relaxing on a few of the local beaches. I also had the pleasure of doing some wedding makeup for a very special bride also, she did look absolutely stunning.
Ocho Rios is quite a touristy area but really gives you a good feel for the traditional way in which people live. I quite liked this experience as it really gave me the true feel of the country and feel for the lifestyle. I have been twice previous, but this time has absolutely been the best time. If any of you are thinking of a Caribbean holiday, then check this place out. If you like fresh food, culture, tasty food, cool music and a relaxed atmosphere then you will love it as much as i did !
It was mega hot, rained here and their but overall it was HOT HOT HOT ! I was sure to be wearing my spf and topped it up on a regular basis (still got to protect my skin…even though its dark) We all love a tan but I didn't want to end up damaging my skin or ending up with skin like leather eww!
Ok then guys that's all for now, feel free to drop me a comment or message….oh i miss my holiday. Oh well will have to book another one soon then : )

- Also known as
- Howard William Cohen
- born
March 25, 1918
- died
April 23, 1995
Howard Cosell, (born March 25, 1918, Winston-Salem, N.C.—died April 23, 1995, New York, N.Y.) (HOWARD WILLIAM COHEN), U.S. sportscaster who , reached the pinnacle of his career as the audacious commentator on television's "Monday Night Football" (1970-83) and was simultaneously crowned the nation's most loved and most hated sports broadcaster. Cosell's foray into broadcasting in 1956 followed a legal career representing sports and entertainment figures. Before he moved to television with his twangy Brooklyn monotone, he became the host of a radio show that featured Little League players questioning major league baseball stars. His determination to "tell it like it is" often created controversy or criticism, but he reveled in the attention his trenchant observations drew. Cosell, who sported a trademark toupee and, by his own admission, had been variously described as "arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, and a show-off," willingly embraced those characterizations as a form of homage. He was remembered as the first to defend Muhammad Ali when the boxer was stripped of his heavyweight title after refusing to be drafted into the army because of religious reasons, and he voiced his approval of the black-power salutes made by sprinters John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the 1968 summer Olympic Games. In 1982 he refused to cover boxing matches after viewing a particularly brutal bout between Larry Holmes and Tex Cobb, and the following year he left his chair at "Monday Night Football," complaining that pro football had become "a stagnant bore." After the publication of his 1985 book, I Never Played the Game, which featured uncomplimentary portraits of his former colleagues at ABC, the network dropped his "Sportsbeat" program, ending his presence on television. He returned to radio until he retired from broadcasting in 1992, six months after surgery to remove a cancerous chest tumour. Cosell was posthumously awarded a Sports Emmy for lifetime achievement.

Gilbert RPG struggles for backing
Despite Ron Gilbert's impressive pedigree in the game industry, and a CV boasting innumerable hits of yesteryear, the veteran designer is apparently struggling to find backing for his new project. Gilbert told Gamasutra.com in an interview that he had yet to garner support for his story-driven RPG, which he is currently working on from home. He also told the industry website that publishers are missing out by not giving smaller titles and developers a chance.
"The thing I'm trying to do with the game right now is kind of meld it with an RPG. So what you've got is the kind of large world exploration that you have in an RPG that you don't really have with an adventure game. You've got the action, some light combat, you know, Diablo-style combat going on with it, but it is also infused with really good adventure-game-style puzzles and adventure-style sensibilities to the storytelling," Gilbert told Gamasutra.com on the project.
Gilbert said that publishers he'd spoken with had been turned-off as soon as phrases like 'adventure game' and 'story' were mentioned. "I think a lot of it is that they cannot point to anything like this that is successful in the market today," Gilbert explained. Adding that whilst the game wouldn't be expensive to create, publishers are "like baseball players that only want to hit home runs." More on Gilbert's thoughts on games and the industry can be had in the interview.

Great tour! Good way to get an overview of London, and it was exciting to see it all lit up for the holidays. It was very cold that night, so we sat downstairs, which was ok. Upstairs may have been better, but it was a welcome trade-off. The tour guide was well-informed and witty. It could have been booked at home, online, but our hotel was able to work it out for us at the last minute.more
I'll just start off by saying that we did this tour last time we visited London in 2011 and absolutely loved it! We made it a point to do it again on our recent trip with a relative who has never been here.
This time around we went to the Green Park pickup for the second to last bus tour. We got there about 20 minutes prior to the departure and were about 25-30 deep in line, which concerned...more
Great tour. There are different ways of booking the tour - online or in person, but we needed to buy in person for a particular discount. We had a 2-for-1 voucher from buying a one-week tube pass from the National Rail ticket counter so we thought for the price it would be a great introduction to London on our first night. First, we were a little concerned when we arrived about 15 minutes...more
I took this tour in November, so it was a bit cold on the second level of the bus, but we had our choice of seats since it isn't as busy during the off season. It was really cool being able to see a wide variety of attractions lit up at night. The tour guide was entertaining and provided lots of great information. I would recommend this tour!more
This tour is very informative and could be been a lot of fun...if I had a seat at the top. Please...DON'T waste your money or time if you don't get a seat above. The windows were filthy and we got a seat next to to bus driver...facing the stairs, with only the front window to look through.
I took my friend on this tour, it was her first time in London, so thankfully she was still having a...more

11 - Fix isInRaid, Add proper fallback to party chat, add Monk
I firstly fixed isInRaid() which should have been IsInRaid(), also you can not do > 0 on a boolean, so removed that.
Secondly I made it so it checks if you are able to use RaidWarnings if not use Raid if not in Raid use Party, much more useful this way, might want to add some config for it though.
Thirdly I added Monks, I'm not pro monk so this is very very preliminary but thought I'd try and start it for you as I love this addon and wanted to add back to it.
Thanks for this add on and I hope this helps you and others.

Bim Ditson goes to more shows than you. Don't feel bad: He goes to more shows than just about anyone. And sometimes, he takes pictures with his cell phone. In this new column, we're letting Bim—whom you might know as the drummer for garage-pop misfits And And And—show you where he's been and who he's seen this week, and tell you where to go and who to see in the week ahead. You should take his advice. After all, he goes to more shows than you.
2/8 @ Luce Loft in San Diego: Portland Cello Project
Bim says: After the first five days doggedly tracking on the future And And And album, it was time to go enjoy San Diego. The good news: list spots to see Portland Cello Project! The bad news: whoever books them hooked them up with in a faux-posh cement echo chamber, filled with rows of baby-boomers. Yes, I am arguing to see a classical ensemble at Bar Eleven, Soda Bar or another dim, glorious music hole resembling Portland's The Know. Even so, I'm enjoying the arrangements—musically, at least. I mean, what can you do? Old couples love these types of groups, but they also want "safe" environments. "Oh, look, Harvey, they didn't bother to change it at all in here, it's so interesting that they used to build boats in here." Jokes about aged sensibilities aside, there were great moments in this set, including an original song, sung and written by Radiation City's own Patti King, and a couple of well-adapted Radiohead jams.
2/13 @ Mississippi Studios: UUVVWWZ
Bim says: I'd been back in Portland for about an hour by the time UUVVWWZ started, so maybe my excitement was polished by simply being super stoked to finally be back home and at a show. Teal Gardner's vocal style loiters around both Merrill Garbus and Crass's Penis Envy, while her band pounds out Goo-ish youthful sonics. I did it, that thing where writers jam a bunch of old familiar things together as if to say, it's okay that readers are 20-30 years behind.
2/14 @ Rontoms for Rock'N'Roll Prom: The Cry!
Bim says: "The most exciting thing about going to local shows—specifically the shows where the whole bill consists of local bands—is rarely the headliner. In many cases, it's the opener. We could talk until logic flips upside-down, theorize some hack jab about them being more stoked to get to play, but this isn't science and thank art for that. The Cry! opened and was by far the best of the night. There's gotta be an algorithm for this phenomenon—get on that, Neil deGrasse Tyson! The Cry! is a band that already had serious '60s and '70s pop influences, so the Rock'N'Roll Prom was almost too good of a fit. You had me at the Turtles."
2/16 @ Blackwater Records: Long Knife, Mean Jeans, Bi-Marks, Big Eyes
Blackwater Records has been throwing killer all ages punk shows for years—first at their location on 20th & Morrison and now at their NE spot on Russell just shy of MLK—and this is definitely one of those shows. I've got this memory hammered in my mind of Bi-Marks at The Know with their lead singer being instantly consumed when they start, thrashing himself in a way that would be masochistic, if it didn't look so fun, falling headfirst into the cinderblock that was trying to keep the kick drum in place, but never missing a lyric, playing what hardcore was meant to be. The level of energy that will pour out of these bands in one night could power a city for a week. And to think, they convert regular pizza into such a thing.
2/17 @ Mississippi Studios: Animal Eyes, Sam Wagman, Ryan Stively
You ever wonder what it might be like if you were totally killing the game all the time and had a great band with your close buds that ripped? I'd bet something worth more than money that the Animal Eyes dudes could explain how that feels. They're the kind of band that is very serious about doing it for the right reasons—and it seems to have worked out swimmingly for them, given that you just don't see someone not enjoying an Animal Eyes set—but never letting reasons play their music for them.
2/19 @ Slabtown: A Volcano, Young Dad, Mythological Horses
Dear A Volcano: Where've you been hiding all this time? I like you a lot. I like your basement crunch, your hesitations, even, your crackling breaths and your wide noise. I'm a fool for not meeting you until now, let's make up for all the lost moments together: I promise to be at your shows from now on, you beautiful clump.
2/20 @ Bunk Bar: Mrs. Magician, Charts
Charts have been blacking-out and shirking perfection around Portland's basements, living rooms and venues for quite a while now. I personally think that they walk a line that has gone largely unnoticed—at least by a wide section of show-goers—that places them cuts above. No frills or fancy necessary, just straight-up real band songs. I could use a bunch of huge words to pigeonhole them, but they're better than that 'cause "Let's make some good songs" rather than "We're the new-new that'll crumble to the next new." Mrs. Magicians taps a similar keg, and it is good.
2/21 @ Mississippi Studios: Nucular Aminals, Stay Calm, For The Lash
Stay Calm may have seemed like an afterthought for Claudia Meza but dude, those songs with Jherek Bischoff are hauntingly better than any Explod Into Colors' jams. I'm not saying I'm right, but for my own ears and opinion, I'm infallible—so again I'm forced to love yet another Portland supergroup. Nucular Aminals: ghost math rips.
2/22 @ The Firkin Tavern: The We Shared Milk, Souvenir Driver, Radion
The Firkin Tavern for mayor! What a wonderful place. They've got it all—lottery, locals, liquor—and they do my favorite thing in the #PDXMusic world: free shows (that are booked by the headlining band) with a cut of the bar paid out to the bands. This formula has produced an alarming number of the truly extraordinary shows that I've seen in Portland, not to mention the countless bands that it has drawn out of basements and primed to play venues. So with that in mind, Firkin for mayor! P.S. The We Shared Milk is current'y doing a Friday night residency there and tonight's looking killer as well.
