Hey everyone. How's it going? Sorry I haven't been posting regularly, but I've just been busy with life, work, and stand-up comedy, so I probably can't guarantee a regular schedule for my post. I'll probably just post when I feel motivated and have an actual idea.
Anyways with the release of the new Mortal Kombat X DLC characters this week I got to thinking about what bonus characters I would like to see, so I thought I would do a list of 10 characters from other games, movies, etc. I would like to see either as future fighters in either Mortal Kombat X or the next game. I had ideas for more than 10, but I thought I would just stick to ten. Here is my list:
Marvel Characters: These probably won't happen because WB owns the rights to Mortal Kombat and also DC Comics so it would be a conflict of interest, but it would still be fun to see.
Deadpool: Thanks to his new movie Deadpool is gaining popularity so having him as a DLC character would be great to see. I feel like he could add some much needed levity to Mortal Kombat with his zany yet gory sense of humor. The Mortal Kombat games could stand to make fun of themselves a little bit more.
Ideal Match-up: Deadpool vs. Ermac
Wolverine: It would be fun just to watch Wolverine hack and slash some of the Mortal Kombat characters and his claws would allow him to fit right in with the likes of Baraka and other.
Ideal Match-up: Wolverine vs. Baraka
Punisher: Another brutal Marvel character who I feel would fit right into the Mortal Kombat universe. I would love to see what kind of Fatalities they could come up with for him
Ideal Match-up: Punisher vs. Stryker
Other Game Characters:
Ryu(Street Fighter):Ryu has become the face of Street Fighter and even guest starred in the latest Super Smash Bros so it would be fun to see him cross over into another game. Mortal Kombat may be a little dark for the character and the control scheme would have to change, but I think they could make it work.
Ideal Match-up: Ryu vs. Liu Kang
Ivy (Soul Calibur): She already looks like she could belongs in a Mortal Kombat game
Ideal Match-up:Ivy vs. Kitana or Mileena
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider): This one might be a stretch and would probably have to be a PlayStation exclusive, but it would be fun to see
Ideal Match-up: Lara Croft vs. Sonya Cage
Other Characters:
Ash (Evil Dead Movies): I'm a little bit surprised they haven't announced this one yet seeing as they have other horror icons like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Leather face. He could continue that tradition while also adding a little bit of humor.
Ideal Match-up: Ash vs. Scorpion
The Terminator: This one has already been considered by the development team(http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/12/05/halloween-slasher-michael-myers-once-considered-for-mortal-kombat-x), but I would really like to see it happen. They were talking about the original Arnold Schwarzenegger version, but I would like to see the liquid metal version making an appearance as an optional fighting style or alternate skin or something. It would also be fun to see the skin come off the Terminator to reveal his metal skeleton as the fight progresses
Ideal Match-up: Terminator vs. Triborg
Rambo: This one might be far-fetched, but it would be fun to see especially it has a fatality where he rains down machine gun fire on his opponent. Plus Mortal Kombat has a thing for using movie icons (see Xenomorph, Predator, etc.) so maybe it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.
Ideal Match-up: Rambo vs. Goro
Shredder(TMNT): This one is also far-fetched, but I feel like the nemesis of the Ninja Turtles would fit into the world of Mortal Kombat pretty well and would possibly leave it open for the Turtles to show-up
Ideal Matchup: Shredder vs. Subzero
What do you guys think of my choices and who would you like to see? Let me know in the comments. If I get enough I might do a reader's choice post.
Weekly Comic Pull List:
This is the ongoing feature where I talk about what comics I'm getting this next upcoming week.
What I got last week:
Darth Vader #17: I'm still quite enjoying this series and I like the new story arc so far.
Batman and Robin Eternal #22: I haven't read this one yet because my local comic book store got shorted on #21 which I'm waiting to read before this one, but I'm enjoying this weekly series, maybe even more than its predecessor: Batman Eternal
What I'm getting this week:
X-files: Deviations #1: This looks like an interesting take on the classic X-files where Fox Mulder is abducted as a kid instead of his sister.
Batman and Robin Eternal #23: The series is entering the home stretch.
What comics are you getting this week?
Playing: Mortal Kombat X, Batman: Arkham Knight

Congrats, Santa Monica
In the words of Joni Mitchell, you don't know what you've got til it's gone.
Kind of sums up my life experience as an ex pat: I'm always missing what I left behind. In this case, the many pleasures of California, and like Joni, as the plane glides into LAX, I do feel like I'm coming home. My past few visits have been brief, one-night stays on my way to New York, but this time I hung around long enough to remember just what a special place Southern California really is.
and it's not just about the shopping……
The first thing I noticed was the sign above at Wholefoods, and this one
Santa Monica takes the lead. No more plastic bags. Yay! You take your own bag to the supermarket or pay one dollar for a recycyled paper bag (they banned styrofoam containers sometime ago). Santa Monica is on the coast (hence their awareness of the problem since the plastic bags are swept down from the surrounding areas into their storm water system) so they must wait until the rest of Los Angeles county follows suit.
New Zealand, are you paying attention? We should be leaders in this! I've long thought Kiwis take their environment for granted, and with a growing population, we need to wake up and smell the fumes.
Dry cleaners are doing it
Drought resistant gardens are everywhere, showing just what a beautiful thing it is to save water. Don't you love garden gates? I want to know what's on the other side of these.
two more gates (for garden lovers, the first is the former home of Nancy Goslee Power)
let's have a closer look at that ingenious path
Succulents at Rolling Greens nursery on Beverly Blvd.
and last but not least, two knitting friends, Marla and Mary, and Marla's son Asher who gallantly escorted his Mum to meet me at Caffe Luxe where they make the most delicious soy lattes.
Next time, we drive up the coast to Santa Barbara…..

Maybe Phillies manager Pete Mackanin should have more postgame team meetings. A day after one of those sessions that followed another disappointing loss, the Phillies responded with a 4-3 win Saturday over the Cincinnati Reds at Citizens Bank Park.
Tommy Joseph's RBI single up the middle in the ninth inning was the game-winner.
While it's too early to say whether the Phillies have snapped out of their month-long lethargy, they have now won two of their last three games.
For a team that is 17-30, and has won only six of the last 27, it's at least a start.
Aaron Altherr opened the ninth with a single up the middle against right-hander Michael Lorenzen. With no...

Under the Marriage Act, the legal minimum age of marriage in Finland is 18 years for both men and women. Given "special reasons," a 16 year-old may marry with permission of the Ministry of Justice, after taking into consideration the views of the minor's custodian.[1] Exceptions to the minimum age of marriage has been critized by UNICEF and the Feminist Association, in particular as the majority of under-age marriages involve girls. [2]
The Marriage Act establishes the principle of equality in respect to parental authority of the spouses and provides a common duty of parental maintenance to both spouses. Parents may agree on a joint or sole custody arrangement. Separation of the parents does not automatically affect their custodial status. Under the Child Custody and Right of Access Act, at the request of at least one parent or the Social Welfare Board, courts in Finland are responsible for adjudicating child custody and visitation arrangements, taking into consideration the best interests of the child.[3]Based on Finnish Government reporting in 2003, in the case of separated or divorced parents, the most common agreement was for joint legal custody, with the child's place of residence stipulated as the home of the mother. If the child's mother is single at the time of the birth, she will become the sole custodian of her child. Co-habiting couples may draw-up a joint custody arrangement at the local Social Office if the father acknowledges his paternity of the new-born.[4]
The Code of Inheritance establishes equal rights of inheritance for wives and daughters compared to husbands and sons.[5]
According to Finland's 2012 Gender Equality Barometer, 43% of women compared to 11% of men in dual-earning families with children felt that they often or sometimes had too much responsibility for housework.[6]Nonetheless, amongst those who were married or cohabiting, women were more likely than men (66% vs. 53%) to respond that they had a sufficient amount of decision-making authority over all matters within the family.[7]
In Finland, divorce is available to either of the spouses on demand, after a period of reflection of at least six months. The law does not discriminate by gender.[8]

Domestic violence has been outlawed in Finland since 1970.[9] It may be prosecuted under various criminal laws, including those prohibiting rape, assault and battery, harassment, and disturbing the peace.[10]The maximum penalty for physical domestic violence or aggravated assault is ten years' imprisonment.[11]
Domestic violence is also combatted via The Act on the Restraining Order (1998), which prohibits perpetrators from approaching, contacting or stalking their victims.[12]A 2005 supplement to the Act allows for the order to be imposed on someone living within the same household as the person requesting the order, requiring the person subject to the order to leave the house.[13] Previously, a restraining order could not be imposed if the concerned parties were living together.[14]
The police and the Ministry of Justice provide brochures in several languages on restraining orders and the rights of victims of domestic violence.[15] Shelters and crisis telephone counselling are available to victims of partner and domestic violence in Finland.[16]However, as reported by the Government in 2009, Finland does not meet the EU Standard of one available spot in a shelter home per 10,000 inhabitants.[17] The objective of the Internal Security Programme is to make shelter services available throughout the country by 2015.[18]
According to a 2009-10 survey by the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control, published in a Government report, 12.4% of women have experienced violence or threats in a current partnership, and 26.6% have experienced it in a former partnership since the age of 15. The rates of violence or threats in a current and a former partnership in the 12 months prior to the survey were 3.2% and 18% respectively. Physical violence was the most common form of violence or threats in all cases.[19] Government statistics indicate that 27 women were killed by domestic violence in 2011, compared to 28 in 2010. According the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA )'s survey published in March 2014, 47% of Finnish women over the age of 15 has experienced gender based violence by a partner or non-partner at least once in their lifetime.[20]Statistics from 2003-10 show that in 67% of female homicide cases the killer was a spouse or boyfriend.[21]Immigrant women seek help from shelters nine times more often than women of Finnish nationality.[22]
Rape is criminalized under Chapter 20 ("Sexual Offenses") of Finland's Criminal Code.[23] Spousal rape has been a criminal offence in Finland since 1994.[24] A 2011 amendment to the Criminal Code expanded rape to include sexual relations that involve taking advantage of the defenselessness of a victim.[25]The maximum prison sentence for rape is six years, although it may be as many as ten years in the case of aggravated rape, for example if the offence is committed in a particularly brutal, cruel or humiliating manner. The minimum sentence for aggravated rape is two years.[26] If a "slight degree of violence or threat" was used in coercing someone into sexual intercourse, the act is considered "coercion into sexual intercourse" (or lesser degree rape[27]) and carries a maximum prison sentence of three years.[28]Sexual relations with a child under the age of 16 years that do not involve aggravated circumstances are criminalized as "sexual abuse of a child" and carry a prison sentence of between four months and four years.[29]
According to media reports, as of October 2013, the Ministry of Justice is in the process of preparing a draft law to be presented to parliament with the intention of toughening penalties for rape, for example by requiring convicts to face unconditional imprisonment for at least one year.[30]Amnesty International has criticized the draft law for maintaining the current conception of rape in the Criminal Code based on the extent of violence used rather than on the victim's lack of consent.[31]
The Government maintains a rape crisis centre with toll-free emergency helplines.[32]However, the number of rape crisis centres is lower than the Council of Europe recommendation of one per 200,000 inhabitants.[33] According to Amnesty International, while rape victims may be provided with a trial counsel at the expense of the state, healthcare personnel fail to make them sufficiently aware that this type of support is available.[34]
According to the European Union Fundamental Rights Agency and national estimates, about 10% of women report physical violence, including rape, to the police in Finland.[35]In 2011, 1,039 cases of rape were reported, and 177 persons were convicted, amounting to a conviction rate of about 17%.[36] The 2006 Crime Trends Yearbook notes that prosecutors cited "no evidence" in 88% of rape cases.[37]
In the Finnish Government's 2012 Gender Equality Barometer, 91% of women and 90% of men surveyed were of the opinion that the verdicts in rape cases were too lenient, up from 89% of both women and men expressing the view in 2008.[38] According to Amnesty International, reporting in 2010, support services for victims remain inadequate. Moreover, lack of knowledge among healthcare personnel about the importance of, and standards for, the medical examination of rape victims has negative consequences for the collection of evidence.[39]In addition, the fact that rape can only be prosecuted if the victim chooses to press charges, leaves open the possibility for perpetrators to pressure victims into dropping the case.[40]
Sexual harassment in employment, labour market institutions, and educational institutions is prohibited under a 2005 amendment to the Act on Equality between Women and Men (1987).[41] Educational institutions are required to have equality plans that include sexual harassment prevention and remedies.[42]The Act requires employers to ensure their employees a workplace free of sexual harassment or improper advances. Employers and educational institutions have the responsibility to take disciplinary measures against the harasser when acts of sexual harassment are brought to their attention.[43] An employer who takes no action may be prosecuted for discrimination and face fines or up to six months' imprisonment.[44] The law is currently under revision with a proposal presented to Finnish parliament to criminalise sexual harassment.[45]
Various acts, ranging from gestures, insinuating acts, telephone calls, letters, displays of pornographic material, touching, or physical assault may constitute sexual harassment in Finland.[46] Aside from bringing harassment to the attention of officials, a victim may pursue legal prosecution. The penalty for sexual harassment includes payment of damages.[47]Sexual harassment in employment may also be prosecuted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (2002), which contains a provision that requires an employer to remedy a situation of harassment of employees that causes hazards or risks to the employee's health.[48]The Equality Ombudsman, occupational safety authorities, and social partners advise victims on how to proceed in the case of sexual harassment.[49]
According to a European Commission report, sexual harassment in Finland is only prosecuted if the victim clearly expresses that the conduct of the harasser is unwanted. The report notes that victims have been deterred from expressing their discomfort or issuing a complaint given a Finnish culture in which everyone is expected to be "a good guy" who is not easily offended.[50]
According to Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, in 2008, every other young woman (aged between 15 and 34 years) reported having experienced sexual harassment by a man during the previous two years.[51] Based on survey data from 1998 to 2008, about one in three women compared to 13% of men have experienced sexual harassment.[52]Amongst female fulltime employees, dirty jokes from colleagues topped the list of the type of sexual harassment faced in the workplace.[53]
In past years, workplace sexual harassment only applied to situations involving an employment contract, therefore excluding elected officials, such as MPs.[54] In 2008, there were media reports concentrating on the alleged harassment of parliamentary employees, especially young female assistants to some male MPs.[55] A 2008 study of 320 parliamentary employees, commissioned by the Finnish Parliament, found that one in three female respondents reported having experienced sexual harassment.[56] No information was found on whether sexual harassment law has since been extended to parliamentary activities.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) has been a concern in Finland since the 1990s with the growth of a Somali immigrant population. A 2013 report by the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) found no available statistics on the prevalence of FGM in Finland. There is no specific law combatting FGM, according to the EIGE report, there have been no legal cases involving FGM in Finland.[57] The Ministry of Labour subsidised a project in 2004 whose objective was to prevent the female genital mutilation (FGM) of girls and women in Finland and to promote the well-being of those who had already been subjected to FGM.[58]Preparations for the establishment of a Plan of Action on FGM of girls began in 2009.[59]
According to the 2008 NGO shadow report to the CEDAW by The Coalition of Finnish Women's Associations, the issue of honour-related violence is one of the most urgent problems among immigrant women, yet Finnish authorities do not always know how to investigate the cultural factors behind these acts of violence. Neither the Finnish Criminal nor Civil Code specifically mention honour related violence or forced marriages. [60]
The Finnish Government has acknowledged that it is both a country of destination and a transit country for human trafficking. According to a 2010 report by the Ombudsman for Minorities, there are approximately hundreds of trafficking victims in Finland. In 2006, Finland criminalised the purchasing of sexual services from victims of trafficking.[61]
Abortion is available up to 12 weeks into the pregnancy to save a woman's life or preserve her mental health, for economic or social reasons, or in the case of rape or incest; up to 20 weeks to preserve her physical health or if she is younger than 17 years of age; and up to 24 weeks if the woman's life is at risk or if there is a risk of foetal malformation. An abortion must be authorised by one or two doctors, depending on the circumstances, up to 12 weeks or by the State Medical Board up to 20 weeks.[62]Abortion is free of charge under national health insurance, but women may have to pay additional hospital fees.

The male/female sex ratio for the total population in 2014 is 0.96 while the sex ratio at birth is 1.04.[63] There is no evidence, based on this information, to suggest that Finland is a country of concern in relation to missing women.
According to the data relating to education, provided by UNICEF (2008-2012) and the World Bank's Development Indicators Database (2011) there is a slight gender gap in secondary education in detriment of boys.[64]There is virtually no gender gap in primary education.[65]The ratio of female to male in secondary education is 104.5% in 2011.[66]
Data provided by UNICEF and the World Bank's Development Indicators Database on immunization is not gender disaggregated.[67]UNICEF provides no data on nutrition and birth registration.[68]
No evidence was found indicating that child labour is an issue in Finland. No data was located in regards to the way household chores are divided between girls and boys.

Under the Constitution of Finland, men and women have equal rights to land.[69] No data was found regarding women's access to and ownership of land.
The Constitution of Finland establishes equal property rights for men and women.[70]A 2004 directive concerning The Act on Equality between Men and Women (1987) prohibits discrimination based on sex in the supply of goods and services.[71] No data was found on women's property ownership in practice.
There are no legal restrictions to women's access to financial services. 99.8% of women compared to 99.5% of men in Finland hold bank accounts at formal financial institutions.[72]According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2012 Women's Report, women are slightly more optimistic than men in Finland about entrepreneurial opportunities.[73]However, there is a large gender gap in Finland with regards to the number of male and female business owners that sell outside the national borders. In Finland, the percentage of international male entrepreneurs was ten times that of females (29% versus 3%).[74]

There is no evidence that women face restricted access to public space in Finland. There are no restrictions to women's freedom of assembly in Finland. There is a wide-ranging and active array of women's organisations. In 2008, state subsidies to these organisations became regulated by law.[75]
Finland was recently governed by its second female Prime Minister from 2010 to 2011. Finland does not have quotas for women in its national legislature; nonetheless, it has one of the world's highest female participation rates.[76] In the 2011 elections, women won 85 of 200 seats (42.5%) in the Finnish parliament[77] —the country's highest rate thus far.[78]Half (four of eight) of the political parties entered the election campaign with female leaders, and women were the majority in two parliamentary groups.[79] As reported in 2011, the majority of the Finnish members of European parliament are women.[80] As of 2012, the President of the Supreme Court and half of Finnish ministers were women, including the Minister of Finance. This amounts to double the 2012 OECD average share of female ministers of about a quarter.[81]
With regards to municipal elections, according to Statistics Finland, there has been a general upward trend in the share of female candidates over the past decades; however, comparing the results from the 2008 to the 2012 elections reveals that the trend has now levelled off. Actually, there were slightly fewer female candidates in 2012 compared with 2008 (38.8% vs. 40.4%). Another trend in Finland since 1953 has been that the share of votes-cast for women is higher than the share of female candidates in municipal elections. This was also the case in 2012 with 40.7% of votes-cast going to women.[82]
While Finland does not have gender quotas at the legislative level, the Equality Act (232/2005) provides for quotas for other decision-making bodies of the state administration (such as boards, committees, and working groups). According to the provision, both women and men should have at least a representation of 40%, unless particular reasons require otherwise.[83]
Women in Finland comprise about half of state employees (49.6% in 2009), but are less present in leadership roles. In 2009, they were only 28.2% of the highest leadership and about a third of the middle management.[84]
According to Government reporting, the gender distribution of journalists in Finland is about even, though women are under-represented in the media in news content and as experts.[85] The Government maintains the Council of Ethics in Advertising, whose guidelines include that advertisements should not condone any form of discrimination based upon sex. However, the Council may not issue sanctions.[86]
A 2012 study by the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) of nine Finnish media companies, including six newspapers, two television stations, and one radio station, found a relatively high degree of gender equality at all occupational levels. Women were present in greater numbers than men in several occupational levels associated with news reporting and production. They represented a slight majority (51.2%) in the senior professional level, and 59.4% in the junior professional level.[87]However, their participation rate was less in the governance of the companies, such as boards of directors. Women comprised 37% of those in governance, and just over a third in both senior and top-level management. Moreover, while men's and women's salaries were similar at the average to low range of middle management, men's salaries were considerably higher at the average to high range of the junior and senior management and senior professional levels.[88]While a plurality of women were employed in regular full-time jobs at these companies, they also greatly outnumbered men in the less secure categories of part-time and contract work.[89] The IWMF study found that all the Finnish companies surveyed had policies on gender equality, maternity and paternity leave, and on offering educational training to women, and two-thirds had sexual harassment policies.[90] Three Finnish companies offered child care support in addition to that offered by the local government.[91]
Some organisations have expressed women's rights concerns about the content of Finnish media. According to UNIFEM Finland, only a small number of gender-specific programmes have been offered by the Finnish Broadcasting Company. The Nytkis Coalition of Women's Associations for Joint Action has stated that Finland's media and advertising culture is increasingly pornographic, with negative consequences for women.[92] The Government acknowledged in its report to CEDAW in 2007 that the "over-sexualisation" of media content in Finland may have a negative impact on the self-esteem of girls and the image of women in the society.[93]On the other hand, an EU report praised the Finnish media for its positive role in promoting women's economic participation.[94]
The Act on Equality between Men and Women (1987) prohibits discrimination in the workplace based on sex, including in hiring, wages, working conditions, and termination. The Ombudsman for Equality monitors gender equality in employment. In cases where gender-based discrimination is proven, the law provides that individuals may receive compensation for lost wages. In 1992, the Act was expanded to prohibit discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and to require employers to offer training programmes to facilitate the advancement of women.[95]
Statistics from 2012 indicate that the majority of women work fulltime, although women are more than twice as likely as men to be in part-time employment (19.7% of women vs. 9.0% of men). The gender pay gap has been declining over the last few years in Finland, but as of 2012, still stood at 17.1%.[96]Women spend more time on domestic work than men in Finland, with men's share of domestic work at 72% the female share.[97]Women comprise about a third of entrepreneurs, which is high in comparison with the EU average.[98] An EU working paper notes that the Finnish Government effectively implemented a strategy to increase the share of women on company boards to about a quarter in 2009, and to decrease the share of companies without any females on its board to less than a third in 2010 (compared with almost a half in 2008). The strategy included quickly achieving the Government's own target of 40% women on boards of state-owned companies in 2006.[99]
As reported in 2009, Women in Finland are entitled to 105 days of paid maternity leave, 30 to 50 of which may be taken before the baby's due-date. Women who earn less than a certain threshold annually (49,004 Euros in 2009) are entitled to 90% of their pay during the first 56 days of leave. The percentage of the salary paid during leave is less for higher earning women. During the rest of the leave, the percentage paid is lower, for example 70% for those who earn below a certain threshold. However, in practice, half of all mothers with an employment contract receive full pay during the first three months of maternity leave.[100]
Under Finnish law, both parents are entitled to paid parental leave during the first six months after the birth of their child if they are employed full-time. The leave can be taken either by the mother or the father, or it can be shared. Over 90% of all parental leave was used by mothers in 2009.[101] However, fathers have an incentive to take some of the parental leave: if they take the last two weeks of it, they receive an additional two weeks. Together, these four weeks are referred to as the "father's month."[102] Legislation that entered into force in 2010 increased the maximum length of this "month" to six weeks.[103] Parents also receive a stipend under national social security and are given an allowance for child care. Both parents cannot take parental leave at the same time with the exception of multiple-birth cases. After this initial leave period, one of the parents can take child home care allowance until the child reaches the age of three.[104]
The 2008 NGO shadow report to the CEDAW by The Coalition of Finnish Women's Associations asserts that there is employment discrimination against women of child-bearing age in Finland, who are more likely than men to be given contract work rather than full-time positions, because employers seek to avoid the costs of maternity leave.[105] The report also claims that high rates of unemployment amongst Roma women in Finland remain a problem.[106]

Easy As Pie Peaches
Recipe by Chef Chessie
This really is an amazingly easy dessert that kids can make and great for summer because it tastes like pie without the baking. Awesome a la mode.
Top Review by dojemi
Very easy to prepare......I used canned peaches. I didn't serve it with the graham cracker crust, I spooned the peaches over a slice of angel food cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. I've given it 4-stars because my husband found sauce to be to sweet. Next time I'll reduce the sugar.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (16 ounce) can sliced peaches in juice (drained)
- 2 -3 large fresh peaches, sliced (instead)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 -2 drop vanilla
- 1 dash nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 2 -3 whole graham crackers (crumbled)
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix everything except gram crackers.
- Chill for one hour.
- Top w/ gram crackers.
- I apologize for any measurements being slightly off -- I cook by sight and taste.
- For an adult version substitute some Grand Manier or Amarula for the oj.
- Also great with apples/bourbon.

Prayer for Relief Retired, Will Stand at Pleasant Acres
Zayat Stables' multiple graded stakes winner Prayer for Relief has been retired and will stand at Pleasant Acres Stallions in Morriston, Fla., the farm's owner said March 10.
Zayat Stables' multiple graded stakes winner Prayer for Relief has been retired and will stand at Pleasant Acres Stallions in Morriston, Fla., the farm's owner said March 10.
Last year, we undertook a review of the prospects of stallions with first 2-year-olds of 2016. The series focused on pedigree and biomechanical values as well as on our impressions of how their offspring performed at the juvenile sales.
Several contenders for the $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) coming up Jan. 28 at Gulfstream Park worked Jan. 21 throughout South Florida, led by champion California Chrome in the final breeze of his career.
Multiple graded stakes winner worked five furlongs Jan. 14 in :59 1/5 at Gulfstream Park.
Darby Dan Farm's freshman sire Dialed In held onto the title of leading North American first-crop sire, which he claimed after moving past Lane End's Union Rags in late November.
Winchell Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys' Gun Runner handily defeated older horses to earn his first grade I victory Nov. 25, turning back longshot Breaking Lucky for a gate-to-wire score in the $500,000 Clark Handicap (gr. I) at Churchill Downs.
Gainesway released its 2017 fees Nov. 10, which includes a reduced fee to $85,000 for Empire Maker.
The Noble Bird who turns jockey Julien Leparoux into a happy passenger is the one his connections hope shows up Oct. 29, when he headlines a field of eight entered in the Hagyard Fayette Stakes (gr. II) on the final day of the Keeneland fall meet.
Colts by leading sire Tapit and his son Tapizar, third on this year's first-crop sire list, are among the top horses to watch when the three-day Fasig-Tipton October sale launches Oct. 24.
In order to give some insight into what buyers might expect from how the freshmen sires of 2016 are doing, we've come up with some statistical compilations to project where they might be long-term.
Gainesway's grade I-winning freshman stallion Tapizar got his first winner May 26 in a $40,000 maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park.
Judging by how they looked at Gulfstream and Ocala, the seven by Hansen left little doubt that he will help establish Tapit as an emerging sire-of-sires.
Following is a list of horses to watch during the first session of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s sale of 2-year-olds in training that begins March 15 at 11 a.m. EDT.
The Wavertree Stables consignment was the highest-priced colt not to hit $1M at the Fasig-Tipton Florida sale March 2. Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert selected him for Charles Chu's Baoma Corp.
Naughty Natisha, the dam of 2007 New York-bred horse of the year Naughty New Yorker, died Feb. 24 at Stepwise Farm near Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Big mouth Billy Bones
singing fish
Be prepared to be astounded with the newest
sensation from across the pond Big Mouth Billy Bass!
Stuffed with talent Billy Bass will burst
into song as he detects an audience, turning his head and flapping
his tail in time to the beat. Sounds `fishy but were
not `codding he actually sings!
Specifications: sings 'Don't
worry be Happy' & 'Take
me to the river' Motion sensor
or push button activated, 35cm long, 23cm high, 10cm deep, requires
4 C Batteries.
Reviews: He looks
like an actual, big-mouth bass mounted like a trophy but,
thanks to a motion sensor, springs into song when someone walks
by. Music starts, his tail taps, his mouth flaps. When
he gets to the chorus, his head, which has been lying flat on
the board, suddenly swivels to face his audience. Now that's funny!!
