In recent months, improvements have been made to numerous parks throughout the City of Elmira, from new playground equipment to removing grafitti. As our Bill Mich tell us, Elmira has continued sprucing up its public spaces by making Brick Pond Park a little greener.
ELMIRA, N.Y. -- Last summer, it was a combination of city workers and volunteers who helped build a brand new playground at Brick Pond Park. Elmira has continued to improve the parks throughout the city and Saturday, continued that effort by planting new trees at Brick Pond.
"This playground has quadrupled, probably 100 percent in terms of use. And it will provide much needed shade for more folks to come in," said Deputy Mayor Nykole Parks.
The planting was a part of the city's Arbor Day Celebration. A grant received from the State Department of Environmental Conservation allowed for the ceremony and the new trees to be planted. And as Elmira works to bring positive changes to its parks, planting new trees and getting a littler greener is a great option, the city just needs some people to step up and help.
"I believe there are a lot of resources out here, in this community, expertise that just needs to be tapped," said Jim Bagley, a DEC Forester.
Saturday, the volunteers weren't exactly experts, but their heart was in the right place. A group of students from Diven Elementary took time from their weekend to spruce up their community park. "It's going to help the environment. More oxygen. Better places. And more good stuff for the town," said Melvin Martin, a fifth grader at Diven.
The city's ultimate goal is to restore many of the parks to their former glory.
"We don't have a necessarily huge budget to do so but we're been able to engage residents around the parks to help us decide and try to develop a master plan, long-range plan, for what we'd like to see in the park over the years to come," said Parks.
But until the funding becomes available, it will be up to volunteers like the Diven Elementary students to pitch in on projects like planting trees to make a difference.

Gone Girl Set for October 2014

Ben Affleck wants an Oscar.
Oooh, a twist.
Even Steven Spielberg couldn't help.
Finally, a space for binge-watchers to discuss the show without worrying about dropping spoilers for everyone else.
Our critic samples two episodes, and reveals whether he thinks it's worth proceeding through all thirteen.
Thanks, Social Network!
They've made three films together so far.
It's for an adaption of The Goon.
You'll be able to see the entire series all on the same day.
Sony is now seeking other candidates.
The two used to be music video directors, and it looks like Bay learned a lot from Fincher.
To kick off a new feature called "Vulture Scavenger," we waded through all four films, their commentary tracks, and the books and articles that have been written about the series.
From Steven Soderbergh to Wes Anderson.
Sony says they were asked to cut, not blur, the scenes.
More Lisbeth.
"We had to be really sure that the nipple piercing was in the place where it was going to catch the light."
And four other talking points to chew on.
The novel was a best seller with women, but the marketing seems to be scaring them from David Fincher's film.
USB cords! Tulips!
USB cords! Tulips!
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't show movies to anybody before they were released."
Aaron Sorkin teases the speech that never happened.
She didn't get the role of Lisbeth Salander because "you can't wait for her to take her clothes off."
"Then he handed me his iPad."

I am working on a game idea will the concept is that the player is earning promotions by advancing through the game.
What is the best approach?
1. Can there be levels where the player needs to earn a minium score before advancing to the next level?
2. Is there a way of giving a score report at the end and based on the players score they in certain levels
Score <100 = Entry Level
Score 100 - 200 = Middle Manager
Score >200 = Executive

This was an interesting stop during a full day of touring. The beauty of this old, knarly giant was breath taking. You don't need a lot of time but it is worth a visit.
We went with my kids who are 5 and 7. My 5 year old was dying to see such an old tree! It was not very far from the zocalo and we took a taxi. The tree was beautiful and it's a cute, small town. You can't really spend more than an hour there, max, but it's worth it.
For only ten pesos you get to walk around this incredibly interesting tree. It is called the tree of life. It is the biggest tree in the world. For some it is a fun activity, and for others it is a spiritual experience. It is a beautiful backdrop for some marvelous pictures. For some it is a fifteen minute activity,... More
The tree is gigantic, it's really impressive! It's best to go there on the way to visit Mitla / Hierve el Agua or if you're leaving Oaxaca to go to San Cristobal. It's a 10 minute stop, the entrance costs 10 pesos. They are taking care of this place, taking care of the gardens outside, there's a handicrafts market, it's... More
An impressive tree set in attractive gardens and an attractive village. They have similar, but younger, trees nearby, presumably in case something happens to the original...
Ok it is a big tree but nothing super special. There is a church and the tree beside it, nothing else... it was a 15 minutes stop...
We ended up buying several textiles (pillow covers, bedspreads, etc.) from the small shops that surround the main square where the tree is - a little less expensive than shops in the Historic District. The darling white and blue church which sits in the square (and which is dwarfed by the tule tree) is worth a visit, too. You don't... More
Pay attentions to the roots and the branches - they have most unusual forms and look like different figures. We made two full rounds not stopping to photograph
Really impressive - much bigger in real life than in the pictures. A section of the bark looks like a lion's head and we also spotted an elephant (apparently there is a crocodile too, but we couldn't see that one). Apparently it has the widest trunk in the world and it is over 2000 years old. The tree is in... More
It's a tree. A really big tree in a well kept and great setting. I'm not sure I would make a trip out of Oaxaca just for this tree but it is on the way to other sights and it is well worth the stop. It's the biggest tree base you are ever going to see in your life!

Red Monarch
Presented in a series of ostensibly farcical or irreverent episodes without any particular connection to each other, and based on short stories written by Yuri Krotkov's own personal knowledge of Stalin, the Red Monarch sketches the infamous Russian dictator as something of a buffoon suffering under the responsibilities of total power. Stalin's many purges of "undesirables" that amounted to millions dead by the end of his reign are not mentioned, and Beria, the chief of the Secret Police (NKVD) responsible for those deaths, is presented in his other notorious persona, that of a vulgar skirt-chasing lecher. Episodes cover a meeting of the Politburo to go over the USSR's loss at a major basketball tournament, and an arm-wrestling context with Mao Zedong. No matter how well Colin Blakely portrays Stalin, he cannot overcome the aspects of the script that trivialize Stalin's criminal record in this failed attempt at a Mel Brooks-style comedy. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Leonard Rossiter stars in the madcap British farce Rising Damp, as Rupert Rigsby, the bigoted and conniving landlord of a dingy flophouse in an unspecified English city. Rupert must contend on a daily basis with a motley group of tenants, including the nymphomaniacal spinster Ruth Jones (Frances de la Tour); Philip (Don Warrington), a black med student who insists that he is actually an African prince with an entire harem of wives; wet-behind-the-ears art student John (Christopher Strauli); and the dapper gold digger Seymour (Denholm Elliott). This film was actually a theatrical spin-off of a U.K. television series that ran from 1974 to 1978; Richard Beckinsale (father of Kate) had a key role in the original series but died in 1979, hence his absence from the movie. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Shortly before her untimely death at age 33, British sex symbol Mary Millington starred in Playbirds. The film concerns danger and intrigue in the world of sex-magazine publishing, a plot device that allows for acres and acres of nude female flesh. A villain is a serial killer, preying on the cover girls of Playbird magazine. Glynn Edwards and Gavin Campbell costar in this low-low budgeter, which rather refreshingly has no artistic pretensions whatever. Please don't be shocked when we tell you that Playbirds is rated R. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Duke Turnbeau (David Soul) has come to England, in the 1930s, as a way to improve his fortunes. For some reason, he believes that his larcenous ways will bring him prosperity in the country which at one time or another has had rulership over a large portion of the globe. While there, he meets Rosie McCratchit (Pamela McMyler), a lovely Irish gal who could do with some improvement in her fortunes as well. Together, they have a series of legal, quasi-legal and definitely illegal adventures, including Duke's cow-roping and Rosie's response to the mud-wrestling challenge of the Amazon Lady, as well as an attempted armored-car robbery. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Based on the novel by Gerald A. Browne, 11 Harrowhouse is a 1974 heist spoof with an all-star cast. The story concerns millionaire Clyde Massey (Trevor Howard) pressuring diamond merchant Howard R. Chesser (Charles Grodin) into robbing a London diamond exchange owned by Meecham (John Gielgud. Howard gets help from his girlfriend Maren Shirell (Candice Bergen), discontented employee Charles D. Watts (James Mason), and a cockroach in order to execute the plan. Once he has the fortune, Massey tries to double-cross his team of forced thieves, but his wealthy partner-in-crime Lady Anne Bolding (Helen Cherry) helps them escape. Charles Grodin, who also co-wrote the screenplay adaptation, provides voice-over commentary. 11 Harrowhouse is also known as Anything for Love and Fast Fortune. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

In the third and last in the original Shaft (1971) series of action-packed "blaxploitation" pictures, private eye John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) travels to the "motherland," where he breaks up a modern slavery ring. Shaft is hired by a diplomat, Emir Ramila (Cy Grant), to infiltrate the criminal empire of the evil Vincent Amafi (Frank Finlay), who is kidnapping poor Africans and shipping them to Europe as slave laborers. Amafi murdered Ramila's son when he attempted to expose the illegal operation, and Ramila, now aware that his investigation of Amafi has been compromised, needs an unfamiliar to face to help bring the ring leader down. After undergoing some training at the hands of a comely tutor so that he'll be able to pass muster as an African, Shaft travels to Ethiopia and allows himself to be shanghaied by Amafi's men. However, the high-ranking Wassa (Debebe Eshetu) is the traitor in Ramila's ranks, and he has betrayed Shaft. As the tough private eye attempts to free the slaves being held captive in a former Nazi prison below a French chateau and bed any beautiful women who crosses his path, he must also dodge a series of assassination attempts by Ramila's men. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Roger Corman's New World Pictures took a stab at the tale of the nefarious real-life graverobbers -- and filled it with the studio's usual quota of nudity, softcore sex and tacky humor. The result is pretty much as one would expect -- nothing to rival the excellent Flesh and the Fiends, or even Tod Slaughter's campy The Greed of William Hart. Harry Andrews plays the unscrupulous Dr. Knox, who enlists the aid of grave-plundering dirtbags Derren Nesbitt and Glynn Edwards in obtaining fresh cadavers for the medical academy. When the demand increases and local cemeteries begin to run dry, the industrious pair turn to the living to keep the doctor supplied. This time out, Burke and Hare are particularly randy fellows, who spend more time carousing in Edinburgh whorehouses than stalking their prey. Despite the macabre subject matter, the producers opted for sexploitation over gruesome horror, but the end result is decidedly dull. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

This film is a faithful rendition of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' last major poem, Under Milk Wood. It affectionately examines the day-to-day life of the inhabitants of a small Welsh fishing village. The poem is narrated by Richard Burton, himself a Welshman and a great aficionado of Thomas' work. The narrative framework comes through the character of Captain Cat (Peter O'Toole), a retired seaman who, though blind, knows the village and its inhabitants so well, it is as if he could see. The colorful characters of the village are delineated in short vignettes by a host of very distinguished British actors. Elizabeth Taylor, Burton's wife at the time, makes a brief appearance as Rosie Probert. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Get Carter stars Michael Caine as Jack Carter, a powerful British gangster out for blood. His brother has been murdered in Newcastle, prompting Carter to declare a one-man war on other racketeers. Carter must also get his niece out of the life she is leading as an actress in pornographic films. Now that he is a loose cannon, Carter must be eliminated. Get Carter is typical action fare of the 1970s in that there are virtually no "good guys" -- in fact, the assassin is probably the most likable character in the piece! Originally rated X for violence and female nudity, Get Carter was reclassified as an R after subsequent crime films became even more bloodthirsty. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Her nephew Tim (David Hemmings) is the former-drug-addict-turned-successful-author who wrote a book about his experiences. When Tim looks into his aunt's death, people give sketchy answers and the police offer little help. Apparently they think his pleas are simply a drug-addict's ravings. As he investigates he begins to find himself plagued by threatening phone calls, and his own paranoia. The pressure begins mounting until at last he suffers a complete breakdown. As a result, the murder is never solved. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Set during the Victorian era, the film stars Peter Cushing as a Holmeslike detective on the trail of a serial killer. The mystery angle is minimal, since we know virtually from the beginning that the killer is a gigantic....moth! It seems that Wanda Ventham, daughter of addled scientist Robert Flemyng, has spent too much time in her dad's lab, and can turn herself into a malevolent moth at will. Flemyng tries to mollify Ventham by creating a playmate for her-and the result is two murderous moths. Blood Beast Terror was also released as The Vampire-Beast Craves Blood. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on the true story of the 1963 British Royal Mail robbery, this late '60s British caper film was directed by Peter Yates a year before he made the action classic Bullitt in the States. Opening with an extended jewel theft sequence followed by a action-packed car chase, Robbery details the events before, during, and immediately following the infamous heist. Paul Clifton (Stanley Baker, who also produced) is the main thief who comes up with the idea to steal three million dollars from the overnight mail train that runs from Glasgow to London. While gathering together a crew of thieves, he helps currency expert Robinson (Frank Finlay) break out of jail. The gang successfully holds up the train, takes the money, and retreats to an empty field to divide it up. When Robinson calls his wife on the phone, Inspector George Langdon (James Booth) from Scotland Yard traces the call and arrests them. As the legend goes, one of them manages to escape with the money. Also starring Joanna Pettet, who played Mata Bond in Casino Royale, and a young Robert Powell, who would go on to appear in the crime caper The Italian Job. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

The Ipcress File
Michael Caine made his first appearance as novelist Len Deighton's bespectacled British-spy Harry Palmer in The Ipcress File. Palmer has no real love of espionage, but he doesn't really know any other life. With studied insolence, he takes on the case of locating missing doctor Radcliffe (Aubrey Richards), who has in his possession a valuable file that would prove injurious to the Free World should it fall in the wrong hands. The government also fears that Radcliffe will be brainwashed by the enemy, as has happened to two previous British scientists. While Palmer is off doing everyone else's dirty work, his superior, Nigel Green, is making a deal with duplicitous information "broker" Frank Gatliff to win Radcliffe's release. The price for this would seem to be Palmer, who is captured by the enemy and subjected to a grueling brainwashing session. Palmer escapes, whereupon he confronts a traitor in his midst in the climactic exchange of gunfire. Advertised as "The Thinking Man's Goldfinger, The Ipcress File offered a far more realistic view of the morally ambivalent world of espionage than did the like-vintage James Bond films. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Zulu to top of Queue
Filmed on a grand scale, Zulu is a rousing recreation of the January 22, 1879, siege of Rorke's Drift in Natal, Africa. An army of 4,000 Zulu warriors have already decimated a huge British garrison; now they are on their way to the much smaller Rorke's Drift. A Royal Engineers officer (Stanley Baker) is determined to stand his ground, despite having only a skeleton garrison at his command. His steamroller tactics are constantly at odds with those of a by-the-book lieutenant (Michael Caine), who feels that a retreat is called for, but it becomes clear that if the garrison is to survive, they'd better pay heed. Jack Hawkins and Ulla Jacobsson are also on hand as an idealistic missionary and his somewhat more pragmatic daughter. Richard Burton provides the narration for Zulu, closing the film with the observation that 11 of the 1,344 Victoria Crosses awarded since 1856 were bestowed upon the survivors of Rorke's Drift. Zulu was followed in 1979 by a "prequel," Zulu Dawn. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Sparrows Can't Sing
This British comedy drama of the lower classes features actors with such thick cockney accents that some prints of the film were subtitled. James Booth stars as Charlie, a merchant seaman who returns home to the East End after two years to find that his wife Maggie (Barbara Windsor) has taken up with another man, a married bus driver named Bert (George Sewell). After taking his brother Fred (Roy Kinnear) hostage in a pub, Charlie gets a reunion with Maggie, who shows up pushing a pram. It seems she's given birth to a child, and the father's identity is uncertain. Charlie and Maggie reconcile, but not before a vicious row with Bert, who doesn't want to give up his girl. Windsor, a BAFTA Best Actress nominee for her role, also performed the film's title song. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Biggest U.S. Companies Pay No Federal Tax
Monday, March 28th, 2011I came across this article today and thought I'd share it. I have seen other articles about how our tax system, with so many loopholes, benefits the biggest, richest corporations. I recently wrote about this when I discovered that Corporate income taxes amount to only 9% of federal revenues. Now I know why.
The full column by Lynn Sweet can be found here.
WASHINGTON—With federal income taxes due in a few weeks, Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent allied with Democrats, on Sunday released a list of ten big profitable U.S. companies paying little or no taxes. Sanders wants to close the loopholes that make this tax avoidance legal. Some people call the income tax system with generous loopholes for big companies corporate welfare or corporate entitlements. As Congress returns to work this week–after yet another break–to negotiate over big budget cuts–with social safety net programs facing reductions–Sanders is pushing for corporations to pay more of a fair "share."
The Bernie Sanders Ten, per release….
1) Exxon Mobil made $19 billion in profits in 2009. Exxon not only paid no federal income taxes, it actually received a $156 million rebate from the IRS, according to its SEC filings.
2) Bank of America received a $1.9 billion tax refund from the IRS last year, although it made $4.4 billion in profits and received a bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department of nearly $1 trillion.
3) Over the past five years, while General Electric made $26 billion in profits in the United States, it received a $4.1 billion refund from the IRS.
The rest of the article can be found here.

Winter X Games 15 festivities officially commenced with the first medal ceremony on Thursday, where Red Bull's own Kaya Turski and Grete Eliassen repeated their podium performances from 2010 in Women's Ski Slopestyle.
Grete scooped up her second consecutive bronze, her sixth WXG medal overall. She sat in the silver medal position until late in the event, while Turski led from her first run with authority to successfully defend her gold.
The men also had a crack at Ski Slopestyle on Thursday, with the elimination round narrowing the field from 16 to 8 for Saturday's final. Red Bull skiers Russ Henshaw, Elias Ambuhl and Bobby Brown were on the roster, and all three made the cut.
Henshaw posted a solid first-run score to sit in second after the first round of runs were complete, then shot into the lead with his second run. No one else was able to match his performance, which included a rightside double cork 1260 mute grab, so Russ will head into the final in the hot seat.
Elias had some trouble in run one, so he made run two count with tricks like a 450 off the rainbow rail and a switch double 1260. He qualified in the 7th spot. With a bronze earned in Big Air at WXG 2010, Elias has proven he can throw down at a big event, and he'll now have two more chances in Slopestyle and Big Air here in 2011.
The heavily-favored Brown didn't get off the ground the way everyone expected, with his first two runs failing to live up to his normally stellar level. He suffered a less-than-perfect landing in run one and a mistake in the upper rail section ended his second run early, adding plenty of drama to the defending gold-medalist's X Games story.
Of course, he pulled it together in run three to slip into the 5th place transfer spot, and will also join Russ and Elias in both the Big Air and Slopestyle events on Saturday.
Another Top Performance for Shaun White
Shaun White probably didn't surprise many in the crowd by taking the number one spot in the SuperPipe elimination round; after all, he's won the event for the last three years running, and five times overall. He switched things up on his two runs and included back-to-back double cork 1080s in run two.
This is his first contest since the Olympics in February 2010, but he looks as solid as ever, and has also returned to Slopestyle this year. If he makes the cut at Friday's prelims, he'll have the chance to score double gold on Sunday to close out Winter X.
Unfortunately, Iouri Podladtchikov, who many look to as Shaun's biggest competition at the moment, went down in practice just before the prelims started and injured his shoulder, forcing him to withdraw. Iouri was striving for gold this year after earning silver in 2010, so it's a shame we'll miss what surely would have been an incredible showdown. Get well soon, Iouri!
Daniel Bodin Breaks the Curse
Finally, Sweden's Daniel Bodin got the X Games medal monkey off his back in the best way possible, ending a streak of four consecutive fourth-place finishes in Snowmobile Freestyle by jumping all the way to gold. After injuries sidelined Levi LaVallee from WXG this year, he took Bodin under his wing, backing him on his own team and helping him train at his compound in Minnesota. The move obviously paid off.
Bodin attacked the course with tricks like superflip Indian airs, superman seat grab backflips, one-handed Hart Attacks, Cordova backflips and Tsunamis. He has a chance to keep his medal momentum going, as he's on the roster for two more events at WXG, Speed & Style and Best Trick.
Not a bad haul for day one, not bad at all. There are three more days of competition left, so check out the broadcast schedule and tune in to see your favorite Red Bull athletes help push the progression of winter action sports.
Friday's WXG Events:
- Snowboard Slopestyle Men Elimination (Shaun White, Sebastien Toutant, Mark McMorris, Marko Grilc)
- Skier X Qualifying (Daron Rahlves, Tomas Kraus)
- Snowmobile Speed & Style (Daniel Bodin)
- Snowboard Best Method (Greg Bretz)
- Snowboard Big Air (Sebastien Toutant, Mark McMorris, Marko Grilc)
Check the broadcast schedule to catch all of the Winter X action.

Two county chairmen have appealed to Gov. Pat Quinn to reconsider booting three metro-east trustees off the board for Southern Illinois University.
Madison County Chairman Alan Dunstan and St. Clair County Chairman Mark Kern sent an open letter to Quinn on Wednesday appealing his decision to remove John Simmons, Mark Hinrichs and Ed Hightower from the SIU board of trustees.
Calling them "outstanding citizens" and leaders in their fields, Dunstan and Kern wrote that removal of the three was an affront not only to them, but to the entire region.
"(SIUE) is the 'crown jewel' of our area's educational network and is the second-largest employer in the metro-east region," the letter read. "As such, elected officials and community leaders pay particular attention to developments at the university, especially those which are disruptive and create negative impressions, as is the case with this issue."
Last week, Quinn removed the three trustees and replaced them with Sandra Cook, of Collinsville, Lee Milner, of Springfield, and Melvin Terrell, of Chicago. All three were graduates of SIU Carbondale, so the new board would not have included any Edwardsville graduates. Only two trustees would have been residents of the metro-east, plus the one student representative.
The day before the new trustees were to attend their first meeting, the state Senate voted to not confirm them. The letter from Dunstan and Kern asked Quinn to reconsider his decision, and to meet with the legislative delegation from Madison and St. Clair counties to ensure "effective representation from our area" on the board of trustees.
However, Quinn spokesman Brooke Anderson said they want the Senate to reconsider and give Cook, Milner and Terrell "a fair hearing."
"Gov. Quinn appointed three stellar SIU graduates to the board with the goal of increasing enrollment and advancing academic achievement," Anderson said. "The governor's priority is to build SIU into a world-class institution."
Two of the area's legislators last week sponsored bills to restructure the board entirely. State Sen. Bill Haine proposed requiring that three of the trustees be graduates of Edwardsville and three graduates of Carbondale. In addition, the bill proposes that both students serving on the board -- one from each campus -- be voting members. Currently, only one of the two student representatives can vote.
Meanwhile, state Rep. Jay Hoffman, D-Belleville, proposed splitting the campuses entirely into two separate universities. He has said he and Haine will work together to find the best solution for SIU.
"Our counties have been supportive of you during your tenure as governor," read the letter from Dunstan and Kern, asking Quinn to resolve the issue in a manner that ensures effective representation, "effectively avoiding additional confrontations that are detrimental to our university and our area."

Comments about GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Griddle:
As I've only had the opertunity to use the product for one week I can only say that it seems to be a great griddle. The multilayer coating used on GSI pinnacle products is very tuff and permenant so I do expect a long life. I would have made it a bit smaller as Im usually alone or with one other and the size is alittle hard to pac in the kayak. Great pancakes though.

As though Ford wanted its experimental Edge to rank high on Google's results for any alternative fuel car search, it unveiled a research version of its Edge that combines every hot new propulsion technology. First, this Edge is a hybrid because it uses electricity and hydrogen, which should please the mainstream clean-car crowd. Ford puts 'plug-in' into the car's power train tech, which should please the fanatical plug-in crowd that thinks current hybrids just aren't efficient enough. For the really forward-looking people who don't really need a production car on which to base their arguments, Ford … Read more

Reviews for Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies(14)
Sort By :
I haven't baked these yet but the dough was very, very dry. I did have to make some substitutions, shortening for butter and a homemade substitution for the molasses, but it wouldn't come together. Ended up adding 1/4 of milk. Also added ginger and allspice. Dough is chilling now.
I made these for my German class, since I found them under German recipes. I made changes to the recipe. I found that the dough was way to dry(?), most likely due to my mistake. So, we added more liquid. The taste was way too molassesy, so since the add of the liquid made it too sticky we added more cinnamon and cocoa. Now, it had a hint of molasses, which tasted a whole lot better. We put it in for 6 minuets at first, but found it wasn't ready, so we put it in for another 2 minuets. All in all, the recipe was good, but it could be better. I had high hopes for this, but they feel a bit.
I took a batch in for my second-grade class. They loved the way the red hot candies had their mouths "flaming". It was good for them to try new flavors.
Tasted just fine to me!
I made this recipe because my 5 yr. old grandson has been asking for gingerbread men cookies. I am sure that the gingerbread refers to the shape. I did not add ginger because I don't think that he would have loved them as much as he did. The cocoa flavor, I think is what makes it good to him

text: Home Culture NYPD Chief: Stop and Frisk Is 'Lifesaving' At the Rev. Al Sharpton's annual conference in New York City, Ray Kelly told activists the practice is also lawful. By: Julie Walker Posted: April 3 2013 4:53 PM 0 New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly (Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images) (The Root) -- What happens when you put the Rev. Al Sharpton and New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly in the same room, in front of a mic? You get Sharpton making a joke: "We gonna bring Kelly on after I stop and frisk him in the back," referring to the controversial police practice that disproportionately detains black and brown men. That was one of the first things Sharpton said as he opened his 15th Annual National Action Network convention in New York on Wednesday. The civil rights organization was founded by Sharpton 22 years ago, and he made a point of explaining that "even though we don't agree, I invited Ray Kelly to speak" on a gun-violence panel. The timing could not have been better on Sharpton's part. The New York Police Department is in the middle of defending itself against a federal class action lawsuit alleging that the practice of stopping a person who an officer suspects has committed a crime, is committing a crime or is about to commit one is unconstitutional. According to the New York Civil Liberties Union, in 2012 nearly nine in 10 people stopped by police were innocent, and a similar proportion were black or Latino. Kelly began his remarks in front of 700 NAN members and others by quoting Martin Luther King Jr., who was assassinated 45 years ago on April 4, and then rattling off statistics about how blacks in low-income neighborhoods are more likely to die by gun violence than whites in higher-income neighborhoods. When he began speaking about stop and frisk, audible sighs could be heard in the audience. "I believe that this tactic is lifesaving. It is also lawful and constitutional," said Kelly. Last year there were just over 530,000 NYPD stops, which Kelly said resulted in the seizure of nearly 800 guns. Critics of the policy point out that is a very low success rate. "We realize the sensitivity involved in every stop," said Kelly, who also told the audience that while complaints were down, "We know we can always do better." To that end, the department has been beefing up its ranks of black, Hispanic and Asian officers. When Kelly mentioned the appointment of a black officer, Philip Banks III, to chief of the department, the crowd applauded. It's been reported that Banks has said he was stopped and frisked growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., and "didn't like it," but still supports the practice as a crime-fighting tool. Despite his quip introducing Kelly, Sharpton made a point of explaining to the audience that even though he and Kelly have differences, they have worked together on issues before, such as gun-buyback programs. During a Q&A with reporters after his address, Kelly said he's been having the same conversation with Sharpton over stop and frisk for about 35 years. "Obviously there are things that we don't agree on, and that's fine," said Kelly. Asked about the reception he got, which by the proverbial clap-o-meter was less than enthusiastic, Kelly again said that was "fine." It was Sharpton who got the last word, though, saying after Kelly left the stage, "We are still unequivocally opposed to stop and frisk in any form because of the racial-profiling aspect." One person who spoke on the gun-violence panel who does agree with stop and frisk was Joe McFarlane. He is the father of Janay McFarlane, the 18-year-old who was shot and killed in Chicago after her sister attended President Barack Obama's gun-violence speech there on Feb. 15. McFarlane told The Root that as a youth in Chicago, he was always stopped and searched, and he believes that, done right, it is an effective crime-fighting tool. He went on to say that if the group that accompanied his daughter's killer had been stopped, Janay would possibly still be alive. McFarlane is now dedicating his time to speaking about his daughter and gun violence. He told the audience that he wants to keep her alive in the hearts and minds of people. "I was thrown into this. It's the worst feeling in the world to identify your baby with a bullet in her head, so I will do whatever I can to make a difference," said McFarlane. Janay's mother, Angela Blakely, who was also on the gun-violence panel, told the audience, "I feel ashamed of our race because we are killing off our own people." Now raising her daughter's 5-month-old son, she noted the climate of hostility that seems to have overtaken so many young people, who are shooting one another for the most ridiculous reasons.

Last week's edition of the Beacon featured a story about West Brunswick High School senior Meg Fletcher, a state finalist in the Wendy's High School Heisman Award competition. Award applicants are judged on their academic achievements, athletic accomplishments, community leadership and involvement in extracurricular activities, among other criteria. Fletcher maintains a grade point average higher than 4.0 while participating — and excelling — at many sports. She even helped institute her school's swim team.
While Brunswick County's 50 miles of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean tend to get all the attention, the tide is beginning to turn toward the county's rivers.
Back in September, the Leland Tourism Development Authority held the inaugural Brunswick Waterfest to promote outdoor activities in the area's creeks and rivers. Highlights included a kayak fishing tournament, Stand-up Paddleboard races, hikes, kayak trips and activities in and around Brunswick River Park on N.C. 133.
Fix A Friend Spay Neuter Clinic just reached a significant milestone in its brief history by performing its 1,000th spay/neuter procedure. The reduced-cost pet surgical alteration facility at 6033 Ocean Highway East in Winnabow only opened to the public Aug. 26.
Of Brunswick County's 48,569 registered voters, 9,125 cast their ballots in 22 precincts for the Nov. 5 election. That puts voter turnout at 18.79 percent, which might seem abysmal until you remember not all of the county's registered voters were eligible to participate because most of the races were for municipal seats.
The 2013 Farm Bill conference committee had its first meeting Oct. 30. Among those serving on the committee, which is tasked with determining the final language of the bill, is Congressman Mike McIntyre, who represents our part of North Carolina.
A part of the bill proposed by Rep. Steve King of Iowa is getting a lot of attention, and rightly so.
The King Amendment, which is Section 11312 of the Farm Bill, H.R. 2642, prohibits "interference by state and local governments with production or manufacture of items in other states."
For all the reports detailing the bad behavior of many Sunset Beach Town Council members at their meetings and workshops, the conduct of the candidates at the Oct. 23 forum was surprisingly sedate.
For some in the standing-room-only crowd that gathered for the event, it was a different story.
The Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce presented the forum as other chambers in the county did for other municipalities. It explicitly established the ground rules prohibiting interaction among the candidates and with the audience during the forum.
his past weekend saw the inaugural Brunswick Waterfest in Leland and Bike MS: Breakaway to the Beach in Sunset Beach, two events that put our county's natural beauty on full display as fall gets under way. Last Saturday, the Brunswick County Solid Waste Department collected household hazardous waste at South Brunswick Middle School to conclude free dump week, when county residents were allowed to bring items (except for household trash and land-clearing debris) to the landfill in Bolivia free of charge.
A month-long challenge is underway at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center to answer an important question: What can families do to support each other, manage their weight together and lead healthy lives?
Here's why: Children in America today, for the first time in generations, are expected to have shorter life spans than their parents if current health trends continue.

When I was living in the Middle East, I once asked a dear friend, an American lady, who was living there, this question: What do you think the main difference between the way we Arabs think and the way you Westerners think?
Even though my question was vague and general, I meant it to be that way. I wanted to see what is most distinct in her mind about the Arab culture and mentality, and the western culture and mentality.
Please keep in mind that she was a learned lady. She answered my question with a lengthy answer, which can be summarized thus:
Arab culture is a culture of secrets. Westerners do have their secrets, but they like most things to be out in public. Arab culture is a culture of shame without truth and openness. The western culture is a culture of "helping the other", not shaming him/her. And it is a culture of honesty and public records. Arab culture is a culture of "forcing" things on the individual without any reflection. Western culture is a culture of choices, and critical reflection on things.
She said many other things that I can not recall exactly. At the time, I have not been to the west yet. So, I am sure she said many things I did not quite grasp. But these were the points that remained stuck in my memories.
After I moved to the West and lived for many years, I believe she was hitting the nails on the heads in her answer.
In the Middle East, my brain was saturated with "hate the Jew" through textbooks, religious edicts, Qur'anic verses, cultural proverbs, newspapers and other media outlets. This saturation of the mind with "hate the Jew" teachings cannot but force a certain view about Jews in ones mind. It took my many years of living in the west and dealing with many Jewish people to I realized that Jews can be a wonderful people—a process, which I may call "detoxification". I have dealt with many Jews, who were involved in regular activities of volunteering and charitable activities, and had expertise just for the public good, a trait hardly seen in Arab culture.
My dealings with individual Jews in the West led me to question certain Arab cultural "truths", which I had been brainwashed with while growing up in the Middle East, and which I believed in. For instance, I had been led to believe in the Arab cultural truth that the 1967 war was no more than an aggression by Israel against Arab nations. I researched this matter based on credible publications and neutral documentaries. And my conclusions caused in me what Thomas Kuhn called a "paradigm shift". The main instigator of the 1967 war was Arab countries. The prime culprit for the breakout of this war was the then Egyptian president Jamal Abdul Naser. Of course, other Arabs leaders played a supporting role to him. And the entire Arab world suffered a crushing and humiliating defeat in a war, they proudly instigated, at the hands of tiny little state of Israel.
Since then, I have stopped trusting the Arab media or politics. I have decided to do independent research of my own to arrive at the truth.
Let's go back to the central issue to be addressed in this article – the hopeless realities in the Arab and Islamic countries. The hopeless plight in Islamic countries results from ignoring the facts of life, and avoiding, not addressing, them. And I am convinced that Islam, which Muslims embraces as the complete code of their life, is responsible for creating this plight in Islamic countries. Islam numbs the minds of individuals and nations. It stands in the way of searching truth. Islam's blinding spell over Muslim societies makes them disinterested in truths and leaves them in ignorance. Please allow me to explain.
The search for truth, no matter what the topic is, requires us to think critically. Critical thinking helps us investigate every truth neutrally and continually, and correct our views about them, whenever needed. This fact can be shown best in the development of sciences. Earth is flat was "Truth" for the greater part of human history. But then, scientific investigation told us otherwise about the shape of the earth – that it has an extended spherical form – different from our age-old truth that earth is flat. And we corrected ourselves.
We believed that the concept of "time" was absolute. Certain phenomena challenged such "Truth". So, we thought in a critical manner, and ended up changing our view of time to a "relative" one. Critical thinking is, thus, crucial to searching truths, which drives scientific advancements and developments.
Islam destroys this critical element in human thinking, at least in certain matters. Islam may allow critical thinking, but in matters of religions and whatever entails it, are off limits to critical thinking. In the West, people can question the morality of Jesus. One can question the Pope's intentions. One can challenge any norm. Not in Islam. In a Muslim country, you question Muhammad's prophethood or veracity of the Quran, you will be dead meat. Ex-Muslim Mark Gabriel was an Al-Azhar professor. He studied Islam critically and understood how evil the foundation of Islam. So, he stopped believing in the Qur'an. Guess what happened to him? He was spat on and attacked by his colleagues at Al-Azhar University and by his family. A university professor in the West Bank questioned the existence of Muhammad due to certain historical facts. Guess what his students did to him? They threw him out of the second-floor window.
Muslims dispute Ali Sina's assertion that Islam is a cult. But facts on the ground prove his assertions to be true day in and day out. Cult members cannot accept the fact when their leader is found to be a despicable criminal. In an exactly similar way, Muslims not only fail to accept the evident truth that Prophet Muhammad was a despicable criminal, highway robber, a mass-murderer, an enslaver, and a pedophile, polygamist and rapist. They just ignore those facts, give them a divine color, and to go the point of emulating them even today.
When Muslims hears that someone had burned the Qur'an, which could even be a rumour, all hell breaks loose. Cult mentality sets in, and Muslims go berserk. They may kill Christian nuns and missionaries anywhere in world, although the alleged Quran burning occurred at a far corner of the world. They may burn kills Jews, burn Jewish temples and Torah, or destroy Ahmadiyya mosques.
Islam is a cult that found great success because of the age it was born in. In sixth-century Arabia without functioning government, tribal force and might ruled the day. Muhammad utilized that to his advantage. He founded and open "tribe" system, called Islam. In this system, it was easy to join, but impossible to leave alive. Until this day, the punishment for apostasy is death. In that open-to-enter and closed-to-leave tribe system, Muhammad managed to attract all the criminals and renegades from other tribes. He lured them with the greed of loots and female booties for rape, and it worked. With the greed for loots and women, Muhammad set up a successful tribe system – open to entry but closed to leave. He proudly said expressions like "I was made victorious with terror" and "I am the only prophet that God/Allah made loots halal for me".
This paradigm of Islam's foundation, however horrendous and despicable it may be, is all to evident sacred Islamic texts, yet Muslims in the 21st century hold their unshakable belief in them to be divine truths world emulating at all times. That's how Muslim culture does not allow development of critical thinking and self-reflection. Far from it, it suppresses it.
The list is long. The fact remains that Muslims are not allowed to use their brains in a critical manner if any such use challenges Islamic teachings or Muhammad's behavior, which is considered sacred Sunna. One Muslim medical doctor in Minnesota still recommends certain forms of female genital mutilation because, in one Sahih hadith, Muhammad taught to do such an evil and immoral thing that destroys female sexuality.
To develop critical thinking, one has to be taught in schools the freedom of thought and the freedom to reflect on anything that is taught or comes to ones mind. True education allows the individual to view nothing as sacred, and to question any learned or perceived fact. Such ability is not instilled in children in Muslim societies. If free and critical thinking were allowed in Muslim societies about anything and everything, I believe, Islam will take its rightful destiny in no time amongst many historical religions that human civilization surpassed. It would be buried in the desert sands of Arabia where it truly belongs.

By Sammy Batten
Sept. 12, 2012, will be a red-letter date in Atlantic Coast Conference football history some day.
Notre Dame was announced as the ACC's newest member on that day in all sports except football and ice hockey.
The league doesn't sponsor ice hockey, so no loss there. But how, you may ask, is Notre Dame joining the ACC significant to football, if the Fighting Irish aren't members in that sport?
Well, the answer will be revealed in the end result.
Notre Dame's football team will play five games annually against ACC squads as part of the agreement. Two to three of those games will be played on the home fields of ACC schools.
The presence of Notre Dame is an automatic drawing card that will increase excitement and attendance at those games.
An example occurred just last season at Wake Forest, where the average attendance for six home games was 31,244. The Deacons' seventh home game against Notre Dame drew a season-high 36,307 to BB&T Field.
The ACC's ESPN television deal also becomes more valuable because it may now also feature the Fighting Irish in the games played on ACC fields (Notre Dame will retain TV rights for its home games). The situation is expected to generate millions of more dollars in TV revenue for the league's bank account.
But what will eventually make Sept. 12 a date to remember is the position of strength in which it leaves the league. When Notre Dame is ready to give up it's independent status in football, the ACC is in position to absorb the Fighting Irish.
I say "when'' Notre Dame gives up its independent status because that is merely a matter of time.
Experts doubt Notre Dame will command the type of TV money it now receives from NBC when that contract runs out in the near future.
A bigger reason for Notre Dame to surrender its independent status will start in 2014 when the new playoff system goes into effect.
One of the major considerations for selecting the four teams participating in the playoff will be if they're conference champions. If you're not eligible to compete for a conference championship, the road to a playoff spot becomes more difficult.
So, while Notre Dame won't be playing football as a ACC member immediately, it will be eventually.
And that's why Sept. 12, 2012, will be a red-letter day in ACC football history.

Hello there Noisilyers, and a very good day to you all!
Team Noisily have been up on site and getting their hands dirty after 6 months of paper pushing in the dreary climbs of post-apocalyptic (winter time) London.
Having spent the best part of 186 days since the conception of the noisiest dream around plotting our first foray into festival territory, Team Noisily have had plenty of time to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel; as we crept ever closer towards the light a shape began to form, at first it seemed rather small and modest but perspectives can be deceptive. Emerging into the woods from our warren of paperwork sometime in mid April, brimming with enthusiasm and the pent up energy of months spent in hibernation, we set about following the direction of our in house woodsman Robbie (see the Noisily teaser video for a look at his rugged jaw line and seductive manner, even if he does look like a homeless person)
Noisily Festival – Promo Teaser
What emerged was something far grander than any of us had imagined, but we're not going to write about that, have a look at this video and see for yourself!
Although even if it were to rain, Noisily would still probably be the best weekend of your life, we're all hoping for sun. So, it is with huge excitement that met check are 88% confident that the weekend of Noisily is going to be Sunny. See for yourself.
"This period is known as the fore-monsoon, traditionally dry and warm with high pressure over the UK and continent."
So, crack out the sun cream, dig out your sun glasses and get ready for Noisily festival to kick of your summer in style.
Hello dearest Festival goers,
We've decided to release some day tickets for those of you who can't make it for the whole thing. They're very reasonably priced and you can get them here.
35 days and counting. We are seriously excited.
We all know, that how ever hard festival organisers try (and I promise you, we're trying) communal loos at festivals are never much fun. The last person has always peed on the seat or much worse! So, we are offering one lucky person the chance to win their very own toilet for the duration of the festival. It'll have it's own little lock on it so that you can keep it all to yourself, or, if you're feeling selfless, let your friends use it in their hour of need.
Either way, this is something that will make your Noisily Experience even more joyful, so go here to be in with a chance:
The Noisily Team have just spent the entire weekend putting heart, sweat and tears into building our treehouse stage. It's looking amazing if we don't say so ourselves. But don't take our word for it, have a look:
This is just a grainy iphone photo, we've got a wicked stop frame of the whole thing going up coming shortly from our top class videographer Jack Maddison. Bring on the Summer!!!!
The lovely guys over at 1UP have written us a lovely little preview on their blog, check it out here.
We've also just got in a wicked mix by the Wormfood resident Bobby Gandolf, showcasing the afro influenced house and bass music that will be populating Noisily Hall, our main stage, on the Sunday. Check it out!

Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan lists 55-acre Camp Crawford for sale
Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan is selling its 55-acre site at 8483 Crane Road, in York Township, in the southeast area of Washtenaw County.
Mary Flegal, president of GSHOM's board of directors, said the board approved the sale of Camp Crawford in November. The camp reportedly had been losing money since 2008 and an evaluation found that the ongoing cost of maintaining Camp Crawford was no longer feasible.
In 2012, the camp cost GHSOM $40,000 in maintenance, while it generated $5,000 in revenue.
"The cost of keeping the camp open for business far outweighs the actual use of the property," said Matt Bates, chief information and property manager for GSHOM. "In addition, there are no opportunities to expand the facility."
The camp will be listed with Bill Milliken of Milliken Realty at an asking price of $850,000.
The property has a main lodge that can accommodate 60 people. The lodge has kitchen facilities, an attached apartment and a maintenance shed.
The property also features a cluster of small cabins and a "bat house" that provides shelter for thousands of bats.
"This is truly a unique property," said Joyce Blomgren, GSHOM board member.
Flegal said proceeds from the sale will be used to increase the amount and variety of programming and services provided by GSHOM to the 34 counties it serves, where more than 20,000 girls are scouts and more than 5,000 adults are volunteers.
"There is a great deal of history with these camps and we will be asking those with fond memories of Camp Crawford to share those memories in a way that can be captured and preserved," Blomgren said.
Jane Parikh, the group's communications specialist, said GSHOM hasn't yet decided how it will collect and share those testimonies.
GSHOM has nine other camp properties, two of which, Camp Linden and Camp O' The Hills, are less than an hour away from Camp Crawford.
