The raw and as-insane-as-anticipated first novel from Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana.
The Donnybrook is a three-day bare-knuckle tournament held on a thousand-acre plot out in the sticks of southern Indiana. Twenty fighters. One wire-fence ring. Fight until only one man is left standing while a rowdy festival of onlookers - drunk and high on whatever's on offer - bet on the fighters. Jarhead is a desperate man who'd do just about anything to feed his children. He's also the toughest fighter in southeastern Kentucky, and he's convinced that his ticket to a better life is one last fight with a cash prize so big it'll solve all his problems. Meanwhile, there's Chainsaw Angus - an undefeated master fighter who isn't too keen on getting his face punched anymore, so he and his sister, Liz, have started cooking meth. And they get in deep. So deep that Liz wants it all for herself, and she might just be ready to kill her brother for it. One more showdown to take place at the Donnybrook.
As we travel through the backwoods to get to the Donnybrook, we meet a cast of nasty, ruined characters driven to all sorts of evil, all in the name of getting their fix - drugs, violence, sex, money, honor. Donnybrook is exactly the fearless, explosive, amphetamine-fueled journey you'd expect from Frank Bill's first novel...and then some.

"Lost Lives in Narcotic Sludge"
This is a story of many wretched and lost reprobates guided by sheer survival instincts. I think the term Grit-Lit is a good description. Think 'Fight Club'. Think 'Natural Born Killers'. Think 'No Country for Old Men'. Think 'Knockemstiff'. Think 'The Devil All the Time'. Rough and raw all the way through.
The narration is terrific and the action is non-stop, ugly and raw....but what a fun ride!

Aviles back with Tribe after great run in Classic
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Mike Aviles was back inside the Indians' clubhouse Thursday, wearing a smile as he was welcomed back from the World Baseball Classic by his teammates.
Aviles suited up for Puerto Rico, which lost in the Classic championship to the Dominican Republic. Despite the end result, the Cleveland infielder was thrilled to take part in the tournament and hopes it will have a lasting effect on the younger generation of ballplayers from Puerto Rico.
"I'd like to think so," Aviles said, "because I definitely think that it gives the kids in Puerto Rico a chance to understand that, 'Hey, there's a lot of good going on.' There's a lot of good ballplayers there, and it's just a matter of you've got to believe in yourself."
Aviles and Tribe catcher Carlos Santana, who played for the undefeated Dominican team that claimed the title, both rejoined the Indians on Thursday, but manager Terry Francona gave them the day off. Aviles and Santana are both scheduled to return to the lineup for Saturday's night game against Arizona at Goodyear Ballpark.
Francona said it will be important for Santana to catch up on the team's signs over the next 10 days.
"All he really needs to get up to speed on is making sure we're all set on signs," Francona said, "and the communication of the signs. He's probably ahead of everybody else as far as playing goes. He caught so many innings and was under real game situations, so he would be ahead of the game as far as that goes."
In eight games with the D.R., Santana hit .273 (6-for-22) with two home runs, one double, three RBIs, five runs and nine walks. Aviles hit .323 (10-for-31) with one homer, one double, four runs and nine RBIs in nine games for Puerto Rico.
Aviles said he received ample at-bats while away from Cleveland's camp.
"I don't know if I would've gotten 30 or so at-bats had I stayed here," Aviles said. "Definitely from an at-bat standpoint, I was able to get my work in, and the ground balls and stuff like that. I got all my work in. I feel ready, and hopefully I'll continue to build on that."
Aviles said the excitement level shown by the fans during each game was a highlight of his Classic experience.
"I've never seen that," he said. "They were so into the game and just so proud to be cheering us on. It was definitely one of those deals where you went to the park and you were excited, because you knew they had your back no matter what. That was my favorite part."
Getting a pair of hits off Indians reliever Vinnie Pestano, who played for Team USA, was also fun for the infielder.
"That was more for the bragging rights," Aviles said with a laugh. "He had been telling me I was 0-for-6 against him before that. Well, I'm 2-for-my-last-2 against him, and hopefully I don't need to face him anymore, so I can hold on to that until the next time."

Thanks for these articles on nutrition. They do help support that nutrition and diet can be a positive or negative influence in the approach to dealing with cancer.
Carl....You are welcome. I thought of you when posting it.
Marion and Carl...finally something I love and can eat....artichokes. I wonder if that means I can cook them and then dip them in garlic butter?? I could eat one daily. Celery is hard on me but maybe if I peel it I can do it. Very interesting article.
I love artichokes...we stuff them and then steam them..oh so good
Honestly, I don't like Artichokes. I think it only provides an excuse for eating garlic butter. Might have been wrong all along though.
Lisa, what do you stuff the artichokes with?
Never tasted an artichoke before, do they taste good? Might have to go and try one now.
Thanks for this Marion!
I pull some of the the outer leaves off, peel the stem a bit and cut the thorny tops off. Then, I mix bread crumbs, fresh chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese and stuff it into the artichoke leaves. I place them in a pan with about two inches of water and drizzle them with olive oil, put the lid on the pan and steam till tender. Lastly, I make a vinegarette to dip the leaves in.
My Dad was Sicilian and my Mom's family was from Northern Italy.
Garlic is a winner. It is classified as a superfood. Maybe saute the artichokes with the garlic - no garlic butter.
Mmmmm LOVE Garlic which is why my little Sicilian and I got along so well! Just need to stock up on mouth wash and Acid reducers! LOL
Blueberries classed as a superfood as well, I do like them!

Lisa, that sounds delish! When you steam them they're in a colander right (not right in the water)? I LOVE artichokes any way shape or form. Never heard of stuffing them!
Im curious that youve never tried artichokes... Are artichokes not grown or avail in Scotland? I live near a major growing area along the northern CA coast so grew up eating them. if you do try to cook a fresh artichoke, google directions because they take longer than you'd think to steam. Lisas recipe sounds great! And definitely tastes good dipping leaves in lemon garlic butter, lemon mayonnaise or balsamic dressing as Lisa mentioned. Theyre good grilled too. Although I love preserved marinated artichokes too, they taste different than fresh.

" Brand: Fisher Price / Type: Boys Toys / Type: Playsets "
Seeing this product had a (mostly) negative single review, I decided to offer up my opinion and try and re-address the balance. For though I agree that this product is flawed, I do not agree with the previous reviewer that it is terrible or indeed dangerous!!
For starters, this is currently priced at £34.99 as new from Argos. Now, I wouldn't personally want to spend that much on this as I do think there are better garages available out there, but I am sure if you shop around you should be able to find it cheaper! (Amazon has it for £19, so there's a big difference straight away!)
Secondly, whilst I do agree that the lift that takes cars up to the top floor of the garage IS stiff and missing the lever that lifted it up on earlier, previous models, I do not think that that ruins the enjoyment of the WHOLE garage. My daughter, for example, is just as happy lifting the cars up to the top floor herself rather than using the lift and this doesn't seem to bother her unduly but I DO agree it is both annoying and enfuriating and even a bit of the good 'ol WD40 hasn't helped alleviate matters!
Anyway, back to the rest of the garage......this toy essentially consists of a two storey garage with a ramp that spins round from the top floor and deposits cars back on the ground. It has a petrol pump and hose at the front of the forecourt and comes with two vehicles, a car and a tow-truck, and two Little People characters. Both vehicles make noises when the Little People in them are pushed down.
My daughter loves and thinks it is another of her favourite toys ever. (I am convinced she says that about ALL her toys!!). Though you only get two cars for the garage, the majority of other Little People vehicles also go down the ramp and though the petrol pump is a little bit hard to play with, it is very close to the base of the garage making it hard for little fingers to grasp, it is still a nice feature to have included. The lift has a bell on it that rings at each level when it arrives though, as my predecessor has also mentioned, the first storey is only accessible by said lift making that floor a little redundant!
Overall, this is a nice colourful toy garage that is not without its faults but still lots of fun despite all that.
It is fairly well made, coming from the highly respectable toy company Fisher Price as it does, it is just a shame that a little more thought and care hasn't been put into a couple of its issues!
Of course, personal opinion is subjective so you have to make up your own mind about these things in most cases but personally, both me and my daughter can live with the few flaws and have lots of fun playing with this together!
I remember playing with the Fisher Price garage when I was a child so when my son turned 1 I bought this for him as birthday present. I was expecting a good quality toy that would be well used and easy to play with, this was not the case.
The first problem arose when assembling the thing, it was very stiff, and the instructions were not easy to follow, it took me over an hour to get it right and involved the use of a small screw driver, which was very fiddly. Once it was assembled it looked like fun to play with and was quite sturdy.
The garage includes cars that travel up, down the ramps. It also comes with a tow truck that makes reversing noises and a driver, which is actually fun to play with. Another car and driver are also supplied, though the driver is holding a mobile phone in his hand, which is a bit odd in my opinion, though I'm sure my son is yet to understand the dangers of using a mobile phone whilst driving!
There is a lift with a bell that dings when it goes up and down. In my day it was operated using a turning lever that went round and round now you are supposed to push it up and down. The problem with that is that the lift is so stiff my son cannot get it to move up and down without resorting to using his whole body weight, its dangerous as his fingers can get caught and when he pushes the lift back down he does so with his hand and arm in the lift shaft so he hits his face. Also when the lift reaches the top the cars do not slide off as they are supposed to.
The ramps are ok, and the cars seem to go down them well. But you cannot get the cars onto the ramp from the middle level, which makes that level obsolete. The petrol station is located underneath the ramps and this makes access to it difficult.
My son has stopped playing with this toy now as he was getting frustrated with the inoperable lift and I thought it was becoming dangerous, so it has been relegated to the attic out of harms way. I paid £25 for it from Amazon, and it has only been used a handful of times, what a waste of money, it's not worth selling on or giving away because it's such a rubbish toy. I am very disappointed, considering the usual high standards I expect from Fisher Price toys. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Morning Star Bamboo Flooring is one of the best bamboo floors on the market today. It is produced from old growth bamboo reeds that are at least 4 years old, thereby increasing hardness. Morning Star Bamboo Flooring creates a naturally beautiful and ecologically friendly product that evokes a feeling of luxury.
Quick Highlights:
To make strand bamboo, shredded bamboo fibers are compressed under extreme heat and pressure. This manufacturing process yields flooring that is even harder and more dense than traditional bamboo floors. Available in a variety of colors to complement and décor, all Morning Star strand bamboo products are finished with premium coating and backed by a 30 year warranty.
And, since bamboo is a naturally sustainable grass that re-grows spontaneously after harvest, you can feel good about making an environmentally friendly flooring decision.

Best Uses
This is the best floor for high traffic areas. I live steps from the beach and sand does not scratch this floor. Been installed for 6 months and couldn't be happier.
Best Uses
We liked the floor so much we changed the scope. We are now installing it throughout the house - including the kitchen, living room and 3 bedrooms. A great and durable floor for our family - with kids and pets. The only challenge that we had was making specialized cuts in the bamboo -- the bamboo is hard.
The wood is harder than most so it was a little more difficult to get it nailed but it was well worth the extra effort. The look is rustic--with more browns with black accents than gold or red tones. It doesnt really look like the other bamboo products. It was a perfect choice for our bedroom and office--I think it is going to hold up very well.
Service and delivery comments:
No issues with service or delivery--it was a very smooth, efficient process. This is my second big purchase with Lumber Liquidators and we couldn't be happier with the process.
Best Uses
I had a picture in my head how this would look once installed and it exceeds my imagination! The colors are rich, beautifully smooth wood, and super easy to keep clean. I only wish we had a larger area to put it in...380 square feet just isn't enough for me

Q:Can this be used in a damp and often humid zone e.g., rainforest in Hawaii?
1 answer
A:Thank you for writing in.
Q:can this bamboo flooring be used in a livingroom that has a coal stove for heat being that coalstove's have a very dry heat. or do i need to add a humidifer
1 answer
A:After harvesting, bamboo flooring is kiln-dried for optimum service. During transit, delivery and storage, bamboo flooring must be protected from moisture. Bamboo is hygroscopic, meaning its size and shape changes with the absorption or release of moisture. The amount of change varies with species, cut, and type of flooring. Therefore, controlling bamboo moisture content (mc) is important for success. First, acclimate the new flooring in the areas to be installed to the expected environment that the floor will service while in the boxes. To speed up the acclimation processes or if products are packaged in plastic, open the ends of the boxes. Remove any plastic that is around the outside of boxes. To prevent board warping, twisting or bowing do not cut the plastic support packaged bindings or remove product from the cardboard packaging until ready to install. The length of acclimation time is not the determining factor. The goal is to reach an indoor equilibrium or balance between the core of the new flooring with its surroundings before assembly, fastening or installation. This balance could be achieved in as little as 1 to 5 days for most products or longer extended conditioning is not unusual for very dense species like strand bamboo and others. For best performance, condition and maintain the flooring to consistent indoor temperatures of 60°-80° F and indoor humidity levels of 30% - 50%. Depending on your local jobsite situations the use of a dehumidifier or a humidifier may be necessary to maintain the desired results. Very dry or humid regions of the country usually require extended conditioning to balance the bamboo to the environment it will service. Proper jobsite conditions, acclimation, moisture testing of the subfloor and new flooring all work together for the success of the installation, and is the responsibility of those overseeing the project. Not following the above recommendations can negatively impact board performance and can result in excessive movement, squeaks, board gapping, board-edge cupping, finish and other related issues. This is especially true regarding flooring in seasonal or vacation homes without proper indoor climate conditions.
Q:Is this manufactured in China..? Is this an engineered or wood flooring.? What is the shortest length of flooring.? thank you

Q:Is this suitable product to use in an oceanfront condo? Is it dog friendly? Can it be floated over a tile floor? Suggestion? Approximately 1200 sq ft
1 answer

Q:What is the plank length? Would it not be useful to add plank length to the spec sheets of all products?
1 answer

While every effort has been made to accurately reproduce colors, there may be minor variations in color of the actual product because of the nature of fabric dyes, weather at the time of dying and differences in display output due to lighting and digital photography and color settings and capabilities of monitors.
It is practically impossible for loomstory to replicate the same colors on an outfit as seen on your monitor. A variation in the shade selected by you is considered as a normal practice as these garments have a tendency to reflect different shades of a color under different light and weather, type of camera used for photography or type and settings on the computer monitor.

Also, QuickCam is tethered to your computer. This means that unless you want to hook it up to a PowerBook, your video domain is limited to groovy shots of your office and the folks you work with.

THE daughter of an Alzheimer's sufferer is calling on pupils to flaunt their school's formal dress code and ditch uniforms for a day in a show of support to the 2,000 people affected by dementia in Swindon.
Amanda Franks' life was thrown off kilter when her mother Cathy Davidson was diagnosed with Alzheiner's at the age of 58.
And the 39-year-old from Oakhurst is now determined to raise more than £30,000 for Alzheimer's UK towards vital research into the illness which turned her mum, now 64, into a person she sometimes barely recognises.
In a bid to help her reach her ambitious target, the mother-of-one is calling on children across town to break the rules at a Dress Down to Remember Day in aid of the charity.
So far Isambard Community School, Oakhurst Community Primary School and Bridlewood Primary School have pledged to take part in the day, with each pupil paying £1 to go to school in their regular clothes on the last day of term.
And Amanda hopes more schools will follow suit.
"Mum has always been the centre of our family, and when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 58, it was a terrible blow," she said.
"Everyday things like making a cup of tea were challenging for her, and eventually as the disease crept on, my lovely placid mum became difficult and at times violent towards my dad.
"In January we realised that we had to move her into a home where she could receive the specialist care she needs, but it was a heartbreaking decision.
"I knew I wanted to do something to fight this dreadful disease, and I was shocked to learn that funding for dementia research is still far behind many other serious diseases."
The Dress Down To Remember Day is just one in a series of events organised by Amanda in the lead up to a huge musical extravaganza, The Gig To Remember, due to be staged on November 8, to allow her to meet her £30,000 fundraising goal.
The showcase promises to be memorable, with Beatles tribute act the Bootleg Beatles and the UK's number one beatbox band Duke among headliners.
Amanda added: "The aim of The Gig To Remember is to create a positive event and raise as much as we can for the research experts, but it was my nephews, Jack and Aaron Bradshaw, who came up with the idea to get schools involved too.
"I'm delighted that three schools have already given their backing, and hope lots more will join in with the event."
Schools wanting to take part in the Dress Down To Remember day can contact Amanda on firstname.lastname@example.com.

ABERGAVENNY is renowned for its historic market and local shops which are at the heart of the community. KATH SKELLON reports.
Known as the gateway to Wales, Abergavenny is a vibrant town filled with independent shops and a popular market which attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Its indoor and outdoor markets in the Market Hall have been an important part of the town since medieval times and the £3m scheme to regenerate the Brewery Yard has transformed the area behind the Market Hall into a vibrant and attractive hub of the community.
The town provides a unique and attractive shopping experience. Market trader Karen Reed, has run her florists 'Buds 'n' Bows in the Market Hall for 15 years.
She said the market is the 'oldest supermarket' in the town and provides shoppers with everything under one roof.
"We have more than 40 stalls offering a good selection of items from fruit and veg to homemade foods, books, crafts and clothing," said Miss Reed, who is chairwoman of the Market Traders Federation.
"It is vital that shoppers coming into Abergavenny support the markets and smaller retailers and buy locally-sourced products. "Our customers regularly travel a long way to shop in Abergavenny and the market has become a part of their life."
Chris Wilkins, manager, of one of the oldest butchers in Abergavenny said shops like his are at the heart of the town.
"We are not only the heart of the town but an important part of the community," said Mr Wilkins of H.J Edwards Butchers of Flannel Street.
"This business has been here over 100 years and used to be in what was called butchers row," he said.
"We offer a personal service and take pride in knowing our customers by name and over the years have become friends. We have loyal customers who, especially the elderly, enjoy a conversation when they come into our shop," he said.
"We use locally produced meat, our lamb comes from an independent supplier in Hay-on-Wye and our staff are craftsmen who are skilled in the trade."
"I would encourage people to get behind the independent shops. It's sad we're losing the Cattle Market and disappointing that Morrison's are coming."
"When I was young you couldn't move in town on market down but now we just don't seem to be attracting people to Abergavenny anymore.
"We need to get people back into the town more than ever," he added.
Local pig breeders Rachel and Mark Nicholas began making and selling their prize-winning sausages almost two years ago.
Mrs Nicholas, 27, of Crown Farm Meats, sells her home-made sausages from a kiosk in Cibi Walk shopping precinct.
The couple, who have been breeding British Lops on their farm near Raglan for seven years, set up the kiosk 11 months ago.
"Our customers know where the meat has come from and know exactly what's in them," said Mrs Nicholas.
"It's vital that people support their local shops and buy locally, especially with a new supermarket coming into the town."
"If you want to keep the town and its market going then we need their support," she added.
James Brailey opened men's clothing store 'Retreat' on Frogmore Street just over four years ago. Mr Brailey, 32, believes the independent shops set Abergavenny apart from those in cities such as Cardiff.
"Many customers travel from outside the county to shop in Abergavenny and I think we offer something different to customers that the larger national store's don't," he said.
What Abergavenny shoppers think
Trevor Turner MBE, 80, of Holywell Road, said he regularly shops locally because of the quality of the products and assistance he gets.
"It the personal contact that independent retailers, such as H.J Edwards, give customers and the presentation is excellent," said Mr Turner.
"The market is a tremendous asset to the town and we are lucky to have a market of the calibre that we do," he added.
"The message is simple use your local shops or lose them," he said. Jim Sharpe,70, of Llanvapley, said: "Abergavenny has a fantastic selection of independent shops. My family and I regularly use the fruit and veg shops and the market but the danger is that supermarket are becoming a one-stop shop," he said.
"If you want to keep shopping we have to keep using them," he added.
Barry Greenwood, 67, of Old Monmouth Road said he gets everything he needs from shops in the town centre and only uses the supermarket for things he can't get in the town.
"We buy our fresh veg, meats and basically everything we need, including using the local chemist," he said.
Malcolm Ewers, 60, of Llwynu Lane, said he is concerned that shops are closing down.
"More people should come here. We need to encourage shoppers back into the town."
"I regularly shop in the town but think the parking charges are deterring people."

Words by Mr Benjamin Seidler
Fabric names are often delectably expressive - take the crisp sound of the word "cotton" for instance, or the shiny, clean connotations of "nylon". Few are as indicative as cashmere, however, which is widely regarded as the precious stone of the textile world - a notion evidenced by the fact that it takes approximately four years for one cashmere goat to grow enough wool for a single sweater. Man has been sourcing this exquisite textile from the cashmere goat since the 3rd century BC, but it was a French revolutionary general stationed in Egypt who helped set the trend in motion in Europe when he sent a cashmere shawl to his wife in Paris. By the 19th century it had gained traction across the continent (helped, no doubt, by Queen Victoria being a fan), when the wool was imported from Tibet, spun into yarn in France and woven into sweaters in Scotland. Neither monarch nor revolutionary, it seems, can resist this timelessly tactile knitwear - and neither can we.
If you're thinking of washing your cashmere, turn it inside out before you do so. This will allow surface fibres to rub together during the wash, thereby mending any loose ones.
Always wash cashmere by hand in lukewarm water, as machine washing can be very harsh on the fabric's delicate structure.
Don't over-wear your cashmere between washes as it will lose its shape. Equally, don't over-wash your cashmere. Knitwear doesn't need to be washed after every time you wear it.
Don't hang your cashmere knitwear on a washing line to dry. It will stretch in length and distort irreversibly, while sunlight will also bleach the colour of your garment. Dry it flat by laying it on a towel.
When folding and storing your cashmere sweaters, bear in mind that the less number of folds you put in, the better, as this will lessen creasing and loss of shape.

Arrests made after Wells Fargo robbery
November 27, 2012
CARSON CITY – For the second time in eight days, Carson City Sheriff's officers on Monday quickly apprehended a bank robbery suspect.
Less than five hours after the Stewart Street Wells Fargo was robbed, a suspect named Mike Smith, 41, was taken into custody at the Carson City Inn, according to Carson Sheriff Ken Furlong.
At 9:08 a.m. Monday, Wells Fargo employees set off an alarm after a man walked into the bank, handed the teller a note demanding money, according to the Carson City Sheriff's Office.
Less than a minute later, deputies were at the bank but were unable to locate the suspect.
During the search for the robber, one of the people deputies stopped to interview was Smith's alleged accomplice, Kenneth Young, 44.
When law enforcement reviewed the video footage from the bank, a senior FBI agent recognized Young as a possible witness from a robbery at Nevada State Bank in downtown Reno last week.

"The senior agent said, 'That's the dude from our other one!'" Furlong said.
A records check stated Young's residence was Carson City Inn.
When law enforcement went to the Carson City Inn, 1400 N. Carson St., Young was arrested near the hotel. Carson City investigators soon discovered Smith also was staying at the hotel. According to a press release from the sheriff's office, Smith's vehicle was located in the parking lot, and it too matched the description of a vehicle used in the Reno area robbery.
The area of the motel where Smith was believed to be staying was surrounded around noon, by 2 p.m. Smith was in custody.
Search warrants on the two rooms were served Monday afternoon after the Special Weapons and Tactics Team secured them. During the search, evidence was collected that connected Smith and Young to the Wells Fargo robbery. Evidence also was found to help connect the two to the Nevada State Bank robbery, the press release states.
Investigators from the Reno Police Department, Carson City Sheriff's Office and FBI agents continue to investigate. Neither man was booked into Carson City Jail as of 7 p.m. According to Furlong, the suspects are likely to be transported to Washoe County Sheriff's Office today where they will likely be charged federally.
Furlong said he was elated that the second bank robbery in eight days had been solved and a suspect arrested.
"We're two (bank robberies) for two in one week," Sheriff Ken Furlong said. "It really feels good. There's no other way to describe it."
Last Monday, the U.S. Bank on Market Street was robbed. Less than two hours after that robbery Thomas Baye was in custody. Investigators found evidence directly relating to that robbery in Baye's residence.

Top 5 best Triple Threat matches Nr 4
by, 04-20-2013 at 07:23 PM (4927 Views)
Hello wrestling fans
I wrote about number 5 on my top 5 triple threat matches. I expected a couple of comments about it but maybe it wasn't what you guys thought it would be. I wanted to do something different from other tops and my own ones by going more into the matches. On my 3 other topics about a top 5 thing I ranked them from 5 to 1 and wrote a little bit of the build up to the match and then a couple of comments about the match and then how many stars the match got. So after many thoughts going around my head I decided to go with doing number 4 on this page, number 3 and 2 on my next blog and the match ranked number one on my last. Sure comments don't mean that a blog is good or bad but in my real life I want critics. I want to know if I should change this or keep this, if it was well written or was the whole thing not that good. Maybe it's hard to comment something when you only have 1 match on your paper and the match is ranked number 5.
Okay I got that out of my mind. So now I can focus on this match. Let's see who made it to number 4. Again this is based on 5 things named: Build up, the match, big moment, the winner and aftermath. All the ranking was based on my own opinion.
Nr.4 April 2, 2000 Anaheim CA (WWE WrestleMania)
Kurt Angle vs Benoit vs Jericho in a 2 fall for the European and Intercontinental Title
First fall for the Intercontinental title and second fall for the European title
Build up
In February 8 on Smackdown Kurt Angle won his first title in the WWE by defeating Val Venis for the European title. 3 Weeks later on No Way Out 2000 Angle got a match against Jericho for the Intercontinental title. In this match Angle got the 3 pin and captured the title which at the same time became the third wrestler out of four to hold both the European and Intercontinental title. Jericho was given his rematch at WrestleMania 2000 but it wasn't only for the Intercontinental it was also for the European title since Benoit got involved. Now in a 2 fall – triple threat match for both the titles who was going to leave WrestleMania as the champion. I rate this build up, 3 out of 5. It wasn't something special leading up to the match. A guy getting his rematch and the other guy just came in for a shot.
The Match
Wow the match. If you haven't seen it please take the 14 minutes of your time and watch the technical, high flying, suplexing, in ring action. Every time I watch this match it always reminds me of how excellent these 3 guys are and was at wrestling and storytelling. I rate this match a 4 out of 5 based on the talent inside the ring. The moves, the passion, the hunger in all three of these men were just too good to be true. This match in my opinion made them superstars. Maybe not Main Eventers but you knew that this is the future in this company.
My only problem with this match is that it felt to how can you say it, rushed. I like when the match is going a longer than 10 minutes but with 3 so skillful wrestlers in the ring at the same time against each other you could have booked it a whole lot longer and don't forget it was a 2 fall match. But it was a very good match and well worth the time I spent watching it.
Big Moment
When looking for a big moment I found 2 things. One thing was that you saw two titles change and the other one was that Kurt Angle did not get pinned. I can't remember if I have seen a match like this were two titles change hands but the holder doesn't get pinned and therefore not "losing" it. And you could see on Angels face that this wasn't the thing he had in his mind planned before the match. The reaction from Kurt Angle was priceless and hear him screaming "That is wrong man", I could not stop laugh.
I rate this 4 out of 5 because of how it played out and the fact that Angle lost his championships without getting pinned was something special to me.
The Winner or winners in this case
I thought about this when watching the match and after watching the match, what if Angle didn't lose any of his titles? Would it be better for him? In my opinion it was the right decision that Angle lost both his titles at the grandest stage of them all. And by doing it without getting pinned was another thing that made it better. Benoit was already a top mid carder coming from WCW as their WCW world heavyweight champion. It was clear to me that Benoit should get the first fall and he got it. He won his first title in WWE and doing it at WrestleMania pushed his status a bit higher. Jericho on the other hand had already held the title and lost it to Angle at No Way Out months before so he already was a top mid carder so he didn't need the title in that perspective and by getting the second fall was just a way to build the fact that Kurt Angle did not get pinned but still losing his championship. I rate this 4 out of 5.
For Kurt Angle this didn't do so much at the beginning. But a few months later we saw his push. He won King of the Ring 2000 by beating Rikishi in the final. At Summerslam Angle was involved in another triple threat match but this time against 2 main eventers, Triple H and The Rock for the WWF title. It didn't go the way I think it was planned because of the botched announce table part but it was a test for the plans they got for him later on. And he finally got the win he fought for by defeating The Rock for the WWF title at No Mercy 2000.
Benoit stayed in the top midcard scene fighting to hold the Intercontinental title around his waist. He got involved in a feud for his championship with Jericho who still wanted to get back the title. This feud is in my opinion one of the best ones for the Intercontinental title. They produced so many good matches against each other. Their PPV matches was just so well played and so story told that it was amazing as a fan to watch it. For a couple of months they traded the title 2 times against each other. Jericho lost his title to Eddie Guerrero at RAW the night after WrestleMania. So he could focus on capturing back his Intercontinental he once lost and did it when he beat Benoit at Smackdown in May 2. But Benoit got his rematch and won it and again Jericho lost his championship. Their feud ended at Summerslam after their two out of three falls match but they fought against each other a couple of months later at Royal Rumble 2001 in a ladder match for Jericho's Intercontinental title. I rate this 4 out of 5 because of the outcome it got for these three superstars. The Kurt Angle push, Jericho vs Benoit, both these things was well played and it was showcased at a time when WWE was at their top level.
In all I rank everything that this match had and did show a 4 star out of 5.
That's all for this time and I want to thank everybody who reads the thing I write. Even if you only just click and read one word I still appreciate it very much. Check out my other 2 blogs that is coming up in a couple of days because in them we have number 3, 2 and number 1 triple threat match.

Molly Ringwald Returns to Rockwell Table & Stage, 6/17, 7/1 & 7/15
In celebration of one year since the release of her debut CD entitled 'Except Sometimes' on Concord Records, Molly Ringwald who launched her CD release at Rockwell last year and has since performed over 150 concerts in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and widely across the United States in major Concert Halls, Performing Arts Centers and Jazz Festivals. Back by popular demand Ringwald will perform live in Hollywood for three Tuesdays to include June 17th; July 1st; and July 15th at Rockwell Table & Stage.
'Except Sometimes' was produced by Molly Ringwald and Peter Smith and features Clayton Cameron on drums, Allen Mazquida on alto saxophone, Peter Smith on piano and Trevor Ware on bass.
Long before she became known as a Golden Globe-nominated actress, Ringwald was singing. She started performing with her pianist father's jazz band when she was three and she has never stopped.
"I had quite the musical repertoire," she recalls with a laugh. "It was pretty much traditional jazz but there was some Bessie Smith and Helen Kane, the original Betty Boop." Talk with Ringwald for even a short amount of time and it's clear her grasp of jazz and its history comes from a lifelong study of the form and the great singers who inspired her, including Smith, Ella Fitzgerald, Blossom Dearie and Susannah McCorkle.
"Blossom Dearie was the only one I got to see live. Susannah's recordings have really influenced me. I think she was really special in her gifts of interpretation and how much humanity she brought to the songs." However, the time wasn't right until now. Paul Mazursky cast the then 13-year old in "Tempest," and for the next few decades, her public focus was on acting, as she starred in such films as "Fresh Horses," "Betsy's Wedding," "King Lear," "The Pick-Up Artist," and, of course, her trio of films with John Hughes, "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club" and "Pretty In Pink." "Once I started to act I felt like I had to make that decision," she says. Plus, during the '80s, "I didn't think there was a place for the music that I was interested in," she says. "There was no Madeline Peyroux, Diana Krall, Norah Jones... I didn't feel like anybody was going to listen to the kind of music that I wanted to sing. I thought, I'll just keep singing with my dad and focus on my acting."
The album put a new spin on such jazz and musical standards as "The Very Thought of You," "I Get Along Without You Very Well (Except Sometimes)," "I'll Take Romance," "Sooner or Later," and "Where Is Love." "It was really hard to narrow it down," she says, of selecting the album's 10 tracks. "It was basically songs that I felt connected to and songs that I felt we played together well as a band. As much as I love traditional jazz, my real interest is more modern, more from the Great American Song Book."

"But, first, let us now praise famous moments, because something happened Tuesday night in Indianapolis that you can watch a lifetimes worth of professional basketball and never see again. There was a brief, and very decisive, and altogether unprecedented, outburst of genuine officiating, and it was directed at the best player in the world, and that, my dear young person, simply is not done."
Don Fisher mentioned the Hollowell situation this evening and had a quote/release from the AD. Slick Pinkham's information seems to be what the statement was implying. It said something to the affect that Hollowell wasn't being punished and IIRC his parents brought a situation to IU's attention, IU contacted the NCAA and they are working with the NCAA for clarification. Nothing said made it sound like it was an academics issue.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

One hour before tip-off at Assembly Hall, IU released this statement in regards to Hollowell.
"As he has for the last two games, Indiana University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass has directed the men's basketball program to withhold Jeremy Hollowell from tonight's game pending resolution of NCAA compliance issues. While stating that it is premature to discuss these issues in any detail, Glass stated that they do not involve any improper actions or inactions by the institution or its men's basketball program. Glass further stated that Jeremy and his family are actually the ones to initially raise these issues, that Jeremy has continued to fully cooperated in this matter, and that in Glass's opinion Jeremy appears to be a victim–not a perpetrator–in this matter. Glass expressed his appreciation to the NCAA for its assistance and cooperation and his optimism that these issues will soon be resolved. Until then, neither he nor anyone else at IU will have any further comment."

Not academics. Everyone agrees with this but YOU, OlBluCoopdog. You claim to know more than his coaches, friends, and family. Thus we all call BS, OlBluCoopdog
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
In fairness, if your team was 5-6 and destined for a 9-12th finish in the Big Ten, you would be clinging to any hope you could grasp onto.
Might I suggest OlCoopBluDog ?? Flows a little better I think.
It is pretty concerning that 3 of our 4 freshmen have had eligibility issues.
Hollowell has been re-instated and will play at Iowa tomorrow.
Dec. 30, 2012
Statement from Indiana University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass:
"Earlier today we were advised by the NCAA that they have accepted our self-reported secondary violation involving Jeremy Hollowell and, consistent with our proposal, immediately reinstated his eligibility. He will travel with the rest of the team to Iowa and be eligible to play in that game and all other games going forward. I would like to thank the NCAA for its assistance and responsiveness, especially during this holiday season when their office is officially closed. I also thank Jeremy Hollowell and his mother Chandra Lockett who raised this issue and have continued to be forthright and forthcoming throughout this matter. Finally, I thank our athletic department and men's basketball staff who worked diligently and professionally to help bring this to a positive conclusion. I am proud of how Indiana University has handled this situation. We will release the details of this matter later this week. Until then we will have no further comment."
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
But...what about his 1.9 GPA? We had very credible information that he had a 1.9 GPA.
In other words, this was about as bad as Alford and the calendar shoot.

"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
It must have been a little worse, he missed several games. Alford only missed the Kentucky game....
Except the NCAA office has been closed for the last week or so (and will likely be closed this week as well). IU was lucky to get a ruling during the holidays, because that building is EMPTY.
Again, not a big deal.

What She's Really Thinking After 1, 5, and 10 Years of Marriage
When you were dating, you showered your guy in attention, which made him feel special and loved. Now that kids, work, and life are in the way, does your spouse know he's still a top priority? "Men often feel like second-class citizens, even in their own homes," says Dr. Shoshana Bennett, a clinical psychologist. "Simple things like hanging up the phone with your friend when he gets home and greeting him with a smile goes a very long way."
"Wives often complain about their husbands not being romantic and not treating them as desirable, sexy women," Bennett says. Make sure he sees the distinction among the different roles you play: You're a fantastic mom, but you're also the juicy, inviting woman he married and can't wait get in bed with at night.

Pimple on Tongue
My 3 year old has a white bump or pimple on right side wrapping around bottom of tongue. What could it be?
I'm sorry but your description is confusing. When I think of a pimple, I don't think of something that can "wrap around" anything else. I might be able to help with a more detailed explanation of this bump, including estimate of size, precise location in relation to the tongue and the floor of the mouth, how long it has been present and whether you have noticed if it has changed in size or shape.

Legislation to change teacher evaluation methods in California was scrapped last week, but education officials said it's only a matter of time before the issue is revived in Sacramento.
Amid growing controversy and a ticking clock, Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, D-Sylmar, pulled Assembly Bill 5 during the final week of the legislative session.
Fuentes, who is termed out, said he withdrew the bill because there wasn't enough time to give it a full public hearing. "While every study has shown the quality of a teacher as the single most important factor in improving student achievement, I am disappointed that were unable to update California's out-of-date, 40-year-old teacher evaluation system," he said.
His measure, the latest in a series of proposals across the country aiming to revise the way teachers are assessed, sought to establish a standardized system that would include students' test scores and classroom observations. Critics said the bill would have been rendered toothless because it allowed unions to collectively bargain crucial details, such as how much weight would be given to student achievement.
Teacher evaluations have undergone scrutiny in recent years for various reasons.
Among them is the Race to the Top grant competition, which requires school districts to incorporate measures of teacher effectiveness to qualify for certain federal funds. The 2010 documentary "Waiting for Superman" also put a spotlight on the evaluations issue by questioning whether public school instructors faced enough accountability. And new research by economists has shown that a child's educational success often rests on a teacher's classroom effectiveness or shortcomings.
In addition, a judge ruled earlier this year that the Los Angeles Unified School District was violating a state law that mandates some use of students' test scores in appraising teachers. More than 99 percent of that district's teachers receive the top evaluation ranking.
Nationwide, a growing number of states and school districts have included new measures of teacher effectiveness for evaluations, tenure policies and consideration of merit pay or bonuses.
Teachers and administrators continue to disagree on how to grade educators in a way that encourages professional growth while giving districts the ability to push out subpar instructors.
Support and opposition to the Fuentes legislation were all over the map.
The bill had the backing of the powerful California Teachers Association, but was opposed by some groups of education administrators. Allies of the measure said it was reasonable and comprehensive, while critics said it didn't go far enough in revamping the evaluations process.
Officials in the San Diego Unified School District, the second-largest in California, had monitored the bill closely.
"We are very disappointed it was pulled," said Bill Freeman, who represents about 7,000 teachers as president of the San Diego Education Association. "The bill offered an evaluation system that had multiple measures of a teacher."
Freeman said he "has no problem" including test scores in teacher evaluations, as long as other performance criteria are considered.
San Diego Unified currently has no plans to reshape teacher appraisals. Instead, the district is working on ways to improve instruction through professional collaboration between teachers and principals.
Although test scores are not used in its teacher evaluations, principals tap that data to identify teachers who need help and others who might provide mentoring, said school board President John Lee Evans.
"Some people and groups want to blame teachers for all the problems in public education," Evans said. "We are working to give teachers the opportunity to work together and improve the profession."

The Wiltshire MP given the task of representing the Prime Minister in First World War centenary commemorations says plans are on track.
Andrew Murrison, the MP for South West Wiltshire, said one of the main focuses of the year's events and activities would be on educating youngsters about the Great War.
Dr Murrison has been tasked with co-ordinating national events to mark the anniversary.
Among county groups organising events is Codford Local History Society, which is holding a range of activities throughout June and July as part of its Wylye Valley 1914 Project.
The provisional programme includes living history re-enactments and an exhibition at Codford Village Hall, with an interactive display map of Army camps between Longbridge Deverill and Codford.
Dr Murrison said: "I think the plans are well developed and everything appears to be on track. There is an increase of activity and interest recently, especially in Wiltshire, which is an area accustomed to military matters.
"There are a number of high quality projects that I am aware of and that will be added to in the months ahead.
"I hope that what we will end up with is an appropriate commemoration of an extraordinary period that changed every aspect of the way we live life today.
"I have been to Codford History Society to discuss their plans with them and I think that it will be a really good programme of events. The schools will also be heavily involved across the country."
As part of the Government's £50 million programme of events for the next four years, pupils from every state secondary school will travel to the First World War battlefields.
Dr Murrison said: "The Battlefield Tours Project is one of the big initiatives to mark the centenary. Youth and education have been made the keystone of this commemoration and the visits to battlefields is an absolutely crucial element of that."

There are many definitions to volunteering and no universal agreement. iVolunteer uses the following as a working definition of formal volunteering:
Volunteering is any activity or service that involves spending time:
iVolunteer is a social enterprise that promotes volunteering. Our mission is to bring volunteers and organisations together to share time, skills and passion to promote India's social development. We strive to achieve our mission through a range of initiatives and a large network of volunteers and organisations.
Just If you are passionate about making a difference and have a desire to give back to the society, volunteering is the first step you could take towards bringing about a positive change.
But that's not the only reason. Some people volunteer to gain career experience, to build their resume; develop skills or learn new ones. Some people volunteer to build self-esteem, to make themselves feel better and/or to truly feel they are making a contribution to society.
Whatever your reason, we believe, volunteering can change you and the world around you.
At iVolunteer, we aim to make the experience of volunteering worthwhile for you, for our partner NGO and for the people they work for.
At iVolunteer, we aim to make the experience of volunteering worthwhile for you, for our partner NGO and for the people they work for. We help you identify volunteering opportunites with our partner NGOs; keeping in mind your time commitment, preferred location and issue of interest. We support you throughout your volunteering journey through our dedicated relationship manager and ongoing orientations and training.
I have no experience, does it matter?
What is Skills-based Volunteering?
Where can I volunteer?
What causes can I volunteer for?
How much time do I have to give?
As much or as little as you like - as long as your commitment is agreed to by the organisation that you volunteer with. It could be an hour a week or it could be a long-term, full-time commitment. You can volunteer in the day, late evenings, or on weekends. You can even volunteer from home at your convenience - doing research over the Internet or building a website or managing a NGOs social media page etc.
Once I'm a registered volunteer, what is the next step?
Once you have registered yourself online, our Volunteer Relationship Manager will get in touch with you for attending the Volunteer Orientation Session. After the session, you will be connected with a NGO that has an opportunity matching your interests, skills and availability.

Working with B.subtilis
Building on the work of the last year's Cambridge iGEM team, we are exploring applications of the gram-positive chassis B.subtillis. Easy to handle and transform, this bacterium is much better to use than E.coli wherever protein import/export is concerned, e.g. in our signalling project. An important part of our effort is to establish standard protocols and parts to work in B.subtillis, characterise control elements, and develop new vectors. You can find our Bacillus protocols here.
Creating new Biobrick-compatible B.subtilis vectors
We are using the In-Fusion™ PCR method from ClonTech to create new Biobrick-compatible integrative and episomal vectors. These vectors will allow us to insert Biobricks into the Bacillus subtilis genome at the AmyE locus and as a 3-5 copy plasmid that will replicate autonomously in Bacillus.
Successful transformation of Bacillus
Testing B.subtilis promoters and RBSs
We are seeking to test the expression strength and response to inducers in several promoters in B.subtilis, in combination with different Bacillus-specific ribosome binding sites.
B. subtilis Promoter Testing with Beta-galactosidase Assay
We are aiming to characterize four different Bacillus subtilis promoters on the ECE112 backbone using the beta-galactosidase assay. Protocol for beta-galactosidase assay as described here
B. subtilis Promoters to be Tested:

(8-14) Rank: NR
Waco, Texas • Attendance: 1,004
(19-5) Rank: 15/16
March 14, 2012
WACO, Texas - Kayce Walker delivered an RBI-single with two outs in the bottom of the 11th to give the No. 15 Baylor softball team (19-5) a 2-1 win over North Texas (8-14) Wednesday night at Getterman Stadium. The victory marked the fifth in a row for the Lady Bears, who moved to 15-2 at home this season.
Courtney Repka (8-2) came on in relief of starter Liz Paul with two outs in the second and worked 9.1 innings of shutout ball, allowing just two hits, four walks and striking our three.
"I cannot say enough about how proud I am of Courtney Repka's performance," head coach Glenn Moore said. "She kept us in that ballgame and I am happy that despite our frustrations offensively, we didn't let that affect our defense."
Baylor outhit North Texas 10-3 on the evening, as four Lady Bears (Walker, Clare Hosack, Holly Holl and Jordan Strickland) collected two hits apiece.
With the score tied at 1-1 in the 11th, Holl led off the inning with a single to left and reached second on a sac bunt from Strickland. With two away, Brittany Simmons threw a wild pitch that put Holl on third, and Walker hitting a chopping grounder to short that she beat out for the game-winning RBI.
North Texas took the early lead in the second, loading the bases on a single and a pair of walks. With two outs in the inning, Paul walked pinch hitter Jackie Miller to score Jordan Terry for the 1-0 UNT advantage.
The Lady Bears, who stranded 11 runners in the game, were kept scoreless until Kelsi Kettler started a two-out rally in the sixth with a single to right followed by a Hosack single to shortstop. Sydney Wilson then delivered a single through the left side and Kettler slid under the tag at home to tie the game at one.
Repka worked out of a jam in the eighth, as a two-out intentional walk and four-pitch walk loaded the bases before Caitlin Grimes flew out to center to end the threat.
Baylor nearly ended the game in the bottom half, loading the bases with two outs on a dropped toss from short to second that would have resulted in the final out. That gave BU another chance, but Simons got pinch hitter Sarah Crockett to strike out, ending the inning.
The Lady Bears victory over North Texas moved their record to 3-0 against the Mean Green this season.
Baylor will be back in action on Friday hosting Buffalo at 12:30 p.m. and Liberty at 5:30 p.m. at Getterman Stadium.

Now serving GF Pizza and GF chocolate cupcakes. Guaranteed 100% GF, food never comes out of packaging until you open once served. Even comes with your own GF pizza cutter. My son loved it!
204 N Central Expy #33, Allen, TX 75013
They do offer a cheese GF pizza, but no toppings. Also, 30 minutes after ordering, we were told they were out of GF pizza and didn't have any other options except salad which is not a viable dinner choice for hungry three year olds... They eventually refunded my money, but it took a while because of the chaos. I would get food somewhere else for GF, then Judy play games.
3240 Lancaster Dr NE, Salem, OR 97305
GF pizza is kept in an enclosed package separate from all gluten. We come here for the kids, it's a thin crust, not too bad. Love that my kids can eat here and just be kids.
13101 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove, CA 92843
It's shoddy pizza and definitely at risk of CC, but they do offer a gluten-free personal pizza and an unlimited salad bar.
2120 Market Pl, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702
They no longer carry the frozen, packaged pizza- it's now a frozen GF crust that they use shared sauce, cheese and cooking surfaces to cook. Not GF friendly.
250 New York 59, Nanuet, NY 10954
GF pizza is individually wrapped to prevent cross-contamination. They also have a list of allergens available. All of the salad dressings are GF. They have mandarin oranges in the salad bar too and Dippin' Dots, which GF and dairy free.
412-418 US-6, North Dartmouth, MA 02747
very tasty gluten free personal size pizza. cheese only. It is baked in a bag and comes with a pizza cutter. so if your child is gf and is invited to a party there is something they can eat.
10510 Metcalf Ln, Overland Park, KS 66202
They make the GF pizza at a certified location, ship it, cook it and deliver it to your table still wrapped in its protective package!
11735 Bandera Rd, San Antonio, TX 78250
They now have a gluten-free cheese pizza and a chocolate cupcake.
199 Plain St #5, Lowell, MA 01852
My 4 year old with Celiac was able to have fun and have some pizza! The pizza comes in a sealed bag with a pizza cutter so you don't have to worry about cross contamination! For 5.99 I was pleasantly surprised!
4175 S Grand Canyon Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89147
They have gluten free pizza that is cooked in its own container. It comes with a wrapped up pizza slicer, and you slice it yourself at the table. Cupcake looks delicous, but we did not try it because of possible peanut cross contamination.
511 N McPherson Church Rd, Fayetteville, NC 28303
GF pizza! Comes with its own mini cutter.
22 Northgate Park, Chattanooga, TN 37415
I was pleasantly surprised to find out what "gluten free pizza" meant at chuck e. Cheese.The pizza is made at a gluten free facility & shipped in a paper bag. It is cooked in that same bag and brought to the table in the bag with a brand new pizza cutter still in packaging. I feel confident that there was 0 contamination. I can't say it was the best or most appetizing looking pizza. It was small. But so are most gluten free pizzas. But it was great to have a completely gluten free option for my son with celiac at his favorite place to play!
2120 Market Pl, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702
Gluten free pizza for the kiddo! It's pre-packaged and cooked inside of the packaging I believe so there is no/little risk of cross-contamination.
90 Pleasant Valley Street, Methuen, MA 01844
Pizza comes sealed with a sealed cutter and they typically have sealed gf cupcakes (good to call ahead to verify). Nice to be able to have a place to take my 4 year old son and he doesn't feel excluded. As much as I was never a fan of places like this, having a happy little boy who can have a normal "pizza and cake" party with his friends was priceless! Now for bday requests I am happy when it is here because I know I won't have to plan separate food and know he won't be sick and feel included!
30 Fox Run Road, Newington, NH 03801
Love for my son! He gets to have the "same food" as his friends! Gluten Free Pizza comes in a completely sealed bag that we open at the table with a dedicated sealed pizza cutter. They also have have gf cupcakes. They always have the pizza but cupcakes you have to call ahead for just in case. Not a fan of types of place for this but for my 4 year old to not feel like an outcast and get to eat pizza with his friends and not get sick it is awesome!
90 Pleasant Valley Street, Methuen, MA 01844
They cook & serve the personal sized pizza in a closed bag. The pizza cutter is disposable. This is probably the safest (disregarding nutrition) place in the area a person with celiac can eat at.
5500 Grossmont Center Dr J-34, La Mesa, CA 91942
The WORST gf pizza ever. Tasted like plastic!
-I, 3654 Atlanta Highway, Athens, GA 30606
Actually pleasantly surprised to find their gluten-free option to be celiac-friendly (does not come in contact with any CC surfaces, shipped and baked in own bag and comes with sealed pizza cutter to DIY). you only have options of one size, and cheese only since the option is so new, but hopefully they will expand a bit more in the future. They do have a decent salad bar but it only carried iceberg, and could be easily contaminated.
6175 South Westnedge Avenue, Portage, MI 49002
Chuck E. Cheese has a personal cheese pizza that is cooked in a sealed oven bag and served sealed with a special pizza cutter that is also sealed in a separate bag to prevent contamination. The pizza is small, perfect size for a child, but probably not big enough to satisfy an adult, but it is only $5.99.
204 N Central Expy #33, Allen, TX 75013
To my surprise they had GF pizza that comes in a sealed bag that it's cooked in and a pizza cutter sealed in a bag. Also had a GF cupcake in the menu but I didn't try that.
191 North McKinley Street, Corona, CA 92879
The gluten free pizza comes to you in a bag. The pizza was cooked inside the bag and they also give you a plastic pizza cutter in a sealed bag. I KNOW nothing was cross contaminated here and there are not many places I can go that I KNOW it won't be contaminated. It was SOOO nice!! The pizza itself wasn't the best and it's very small.
7012 East Hampton Avenue #104, Mesa, AZ 85208
very celiac friendly, no way for contamination. not awesome tasting, but definitely good enough and now celiac kid participate in the party!
5500 Grossmont Center Dr J-34, La Mesa, CA 91942
gf pizza is ok it is just nice to have an option eating out in a kid friendly place.
30 Fox Run Road, Newington, NH 03801
It may be gluten-free; but all the food here is horrible, the environment is worse.
3901 Vestal Pkwy E, Vestal, NY 13850
Pizza is cooked and delivered to table in a sealed paper bag. Wrapped personal cutter is also provided.
3500 South Glenstone Avenue, Springfield, MO 65804
the gf pizza was awful
16790 Interstate 45 South, Conroe, TX 77385
Gluten Free Pizza and Gluten Free cupcakes?! YES PLEASE! and the pizza was amazing, they opened it up and added veggie toppings for me, I was supremely happy to be able to spend a day with my family without having to be punished for it while everyone else ate pizza but me.
3240 Lancaster Dr NE, Salem, OR 97305
Great place to enjoy pizza thats not made in the same facility, and have a good time
5500 Grossmont Center Dr J-34, La Mesa, CA 91942
250 New York 59, Nanuet, NY 10954
No need to worry about cross contamination as the pizza comes out in a sealed bag with plastic pizza cutter. Hey it's a cheap frozen pizza but at least the kids can participate with their friends.
15082 Crossroads Parkway, Gulfport, MS 39503
They have a gluten free individual pan pizza that is the same price as a regular individual pan pizza. The pizza is made at a dedicated gluten free facility and is not unsealed until it is brought to the table. They cook the pizza in the packaging. They also provide a personal unsealed pizza cutter. The pizza was one of the best I have found anywhere. They do have a prepared gluten free cupcake. It was not bad. However, it is not made in a dedicated gluten free facility. Great place to take the family and enjoy a meal!
3701 General De Gaulle Dr, New Orleans, LA 70114
Yay! GF pizzas and dessert kept in dedicated space and completely contamination free!
3023 Erie Boulevard East, Syracuse, NY 13224
Fun place for celiac kids to go. The pizzas are made in a gluten free facility and then shipped fresh and brought to the table sealed to guarantee no contamination. I'm not a fan of the restaurant but like that my g-free kiddo doesn't have to feel left out.
2120 Market Pl, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702
excellent pizza
30 Fox Run Road, Newington, NH 03801
Super excited to bring our daughter there soon!
4671 Michales Dr., Grand Chute, WI 54915
the pizza comes in a bag so that it can not cross contam. It is a little thicker then most gf pizza which I miss
7012 East Hampton Avenue #104, Mesa, AZ 85208
this rating is specific towards the GF food. A pizza place that does it RIGHT to avoid xcontamination. Pizza is packaged and baked inside the package. it is also brought to the table still in the package. That was the great part. The pizza was not great, but was not terrible either. seemed to me it could have been baked longer, too. its plain cheese pizza, good crust, and plenty of sauce. It is a great option for kids and where a family can be together for a great time. oh, I am pretty sure they have a GF cupcake, but we did not try that.
3500 South Glenstone Avenue, Springfield, MO 65804
Their GF Pizzas are in a seperate bag that it's shipped & cooked in, come w a plastic pizza slicer in sealed plastic, & their GF Cupcake is in a sealed container when brought to your table. The Cupcake is AWESOME! Pizza isn't too great & they only have Cheese @ this time. They've gone out of their way to prevent cross contamination with their GF Pizza. I don't know of any other restaurant around that ships, cooks, & delivers to the table in a sealed cookable bag!!! I absolutely LOVE their cupcake!!!! OMG it was super moist for a once frozen product...was even still cold when they brought it to me too! I love that the Pizza cutter deal is in it's own sealed plastic bag as well so, you know it's safe. My kids can eat dinner & dessert plus, be part of the party!!!! LOVE THAT! The pizza is VERY small & I'm pretty sure kinda expensive. Not sure on price as I went for my cousins sons bday party & my aunt ordered/paid for my & my sons pizza/cupcake.

A New Jersey bill that bans retailers from charging a fee to consumers for using a credit card goes to a state Senate vote on Thursday.
The legislation is in response to a preliminary class-action settlement between retailers and Visa, MasterCard and major national banks that allows retailers to impose this so-called credit card checkout fee. Retailers were allowed to charge this fee starting Jan. 27.
The surcharge allows retailers to recoup costs that Visa, MasterCard and the banks charge them for processing a credit card transaction, called a swipe fee. Typically, these swipe fees range from 1 percent up to 4 percent of the purchase total. The settlement allows retailers to pass this cost onto customers directly, rather than just building the cost into the price of goods and services.
The bill -- which must be approved by the state Senate and Assembly and signed by Gov. Chris Christie before being enacted -- would make New Jersey the 11th state to prohibit such credit card surcharges, including neighboring states Connecticut and New York. That was one of the two reasons the bill was introduced, says state Sen. Nia Gill, who was one of the primary sponsors of the bill.
"Since New York and Connecticut already have bans on such practices, we would be potentially driving business out of the state of New Jersey if we didn't ban the activity," Gill says. "You could easily go to New York and purchase the same item as in New Jersey but not pay a surcharge."
The state senator also said that she wanted to protect consumers' rights as well. She called credit card surcharges "unconscionable" and said New Jersey citizens were "outraged" by the possible practice.
Retailers that violate the ban could be fined up to $10,000 for the first offense and up to $20,000 for any subsequent offense under the proposed New Jersey bill. However, New Jersey gas stations will still be allowed to offer cash discounts to customers paying with cash, says Gill. That is a long-standing practice and backed by the state attorney general's interpretation of current law, she says.
Gill says she will continue to monitor credit cards and fees and consider what input the state can have on those practices.
Do you want your state to ban credit card surcharges?

Feed's still down, but the Aggies got an interception in the endzone to keep LT at 3 points.
17-3 Aggies at the half. That's impressive against a team that scores 56 points a game.
Touchdown Aggies! 24-3.
Fumble on the kickoff! Aggies recover!
LT finally finds the endzone. 27-10 Aggies.
Chuckie Keeton is putting on a show. 34-10 Aggies.
I can honestly say I didn't expect the Aggies to take it to La Tech like this.
Gobert or go home
LT's offense is officially rolling. 34-17 Aggies.

Story on Holocaust Markers Hits Home
Your Jan. 30 paper featured an article (Headlines: "Casting Stones of Remembrance for a Holocaust Victim") about Stolpersteines, stumbling blocks, which are small brass markers commemorating Jews who died or fled during the Holocaust. The picture showed the grandsons of Dr. Felix Blumenfeld participating in the dedication of a plaque in memory of their prominent grandfather in Kassel, Germany.
My cousin was in Germany this summer and sent me a photo of another marker. It is in memory of Rosa Nordhauser Oppenheim. She was not a prominent woman; she owned a butcher shop in the small town of Bad Hersfeld, which is some 31 miles southeast of Kassel. Her husband died in Belgium during World War I, fighting on behalf of the Germans, and as a war hero's widow, she initially felt safe.
In April of 1933 Hitler proclaimed a boycott of Jewish businesses, and a guard was stationed outside Rosa's business. That was the beginning. The end came for Rosa, as the marker reflects, in Minsk. She was deported and died there in a Russian concentration camp. Rosa was my grandmother. My cousin, Renee, and my daughter are named after her.

There Are Ways to Encourage 'In-Marriage'
Regarding the Feb. 13 article (Cover story: "Intermarriage Debate Reignites"): The seeds of interfaith marriage were and continue to be planted by those who oppose it and are unaware of the root problem: inadequate knowledge of Judaism and how that affects future decisions. For untold years, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, with their glitz and hoopla, have been promoted over confirmation, which stresses Jewish history, holidays, customs and traditions.
Jewish education for all practical purposes stops at age 13. The reading of Hebrew with little or no understanding of what is being read has taken precedence over studying the architects of Judaism. It is not surprising that Jewish youth give little thought to their religion in social situations that may result in marriage. It's a disgrace that congregations with hundreds of families have only a dozen or so students in their confirmation classes.
Girls and boys of confirmation and post-confirmation age learn to interact with one another and that's a start. Years ago, I knew of a congregation that had a social club for the unmarried between the ages of low 20s to mid-30s. The group met at the temple once a month for social events and other activities. It had only one flaw: It married itself out of existence.
If temples and synagogues want to promote "in-marriage," they should create social, not necessarily religious, programs that will attract young and maybe even some not-so-young people to attend. Make the religious edifice also the center of social activities. If you create it, they will come.
