Jessica McGowan suffered an accident with her horse at her home Jan. 18. While riding with family and friends, her horse bucked and fell backward, landing on the lower portion of her body. The weight of the horse crushed Jessica's pelvis and broke her lower back.
JCHS teachers Jamy Meeks and Nick Dipaolo and principal Chuck Gibson found a way to help the family. Dipaolo took several members of his construction class on a field trip to Jessica's home Feb. 3 to build her a wheelchair ramp, and Ace Hardware in Gray gave them a 10 percent discount on the materials and waved the delivery fee.
Jessica's church, Real Life, has agreed to pay for the materials.
Dipaolo said the group that built the ramp is part of Skills USA which is a construction club made up of his students, some of whom he has taught for four years. Seven members, Jeffrey Ackerman, Charlie Davis, Jacob Dipaolo, Bin Grimes, Cody Spires, Brian White, and Hunter Dixon worked on the ramp Tuesday beginning at 9 a.m. and finishing up at 2.
Dipaolo said he had at least a dozen more members of the club volunteer to help with the project. The club does construction projects for the school including building the sets for the proms and plays. He said they have worked on the football and baseball fields and recently built the gazebo at the county's Liberty Park on Upper River Road.
Members of the club also constructed the castle play area in the lobby of Jones County Department of Family and Children Services.
Dipaolo credits the McGowan project to the dedication of Meeks and Gibson to the needs of students.
"I commend Ms. Meeks and Mr. Gibson for spearheading this. Not many school principals and teachers would get this involved," he said.
Meeks said although Jessica's back and pelvis have been repaired, she has a long road to recovery. A rod had to be extended from each of the teenager's hips to connect to another bar that goes across her stomach to provide stability to her pelvis and back; this will be in place for eight to 10 weeks from the date of the accident.
Jessica must wear a back brace when she is allowed to sit up and stand. Although she is allowed to stand on her left foot and hop, she will not be allowed to put pressure on her right leg for up to 12 weeks.
While she is recuperating, her mother, Lisa, a Jones County Pre-K paraprofessional, will be out of work. The loss of this income will put a financial strain on the family in addition to the cost of physical therapy and other expenses not fully covered by insurance.
Meeks said the Jones County School System recently held a system-wide teacher dress- down day for the family. Teachers were allowed to wear jeans to school for a $5 donation.
In addition to this, some of Jessica's teachers opened an account at Security Bank of Jones County, the Jessica McGowan Fund, to provide financial aid for the family during this time of need.
For additional information about the Jessica McGowan Fund, please contact Jamy Meeks at email@example.com.

TWO McFARLANE EVENTS -- NATIONAL AND COMIC-CON -- HAPPENING NOW
Meet Staffers, See New Products Right Now in both San Diego and Cleveland
Friday, July 23, 2004
The McFarlane Companies and spawn.com staffers are currently in two places at the same time: the San Diego Comic-Con and the National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland. Here are the details:
This year's San Diego Comic-Con event will run through July 25 at the San Diego Convention Center.
McFarlane has a booth in the Image Comics area -- booth numbers 1428 and 1329 -- displaying many of our latest action figures and two-up prototypes of upcoming figures. The booth will be staffed with spawn.com'ers ready to answer all your questions and show off our products.
We don't have an exclusive figure to offer this year, but we will have free stickers and a special newsletter to hand out that contains several big announcements.
The Spawn creative team (writer Brian Holguin, artist Angel Medina, inker Danny Miki and colorist Brian Haberlin) will be signing at our booth on Saturday, July 24 at 3 p.m.
We also host portfolio reviews for sculptors and comic artists in our booth Saturday, July 24 from 10 a.m. to noon. If we have time for additional reviews, we will post those times on the white board in the booth.
Finally, McFarlane employees are taking part in several interesting action figure-related panel discussions where the public is welcome:
Friday, July 23, 5 to 6 p.m., Room 2
Behind the Plastic
Every company has had its successful and, well, not-so-successful lines. "Behind the Plastic" looks at the triumphs and heartbreaks of launching toy lines and getting them to store shelves. Why did a line end? Why hasn't anyone made your favorite character yet? What does the future hold for your favorite line? Toy industry professionals will give you all the behind-the-scenes stories about your favorite toy lines. Moderator Julius Marx from Action Figure Times is joined by Jesse Falcon, senior product manager, Toy Biz; Kim Mattison, product development manager, Palisades Toys; Randy Falk, director of product development, NECA Inc.; Digger, president and founder of Art Asylum; Dev Gilmore, account executive, Gentle Giant Studios; Jerry Macaluso, president, SOTA; and Larry Marder, president, McFarlane Toys.
Saturday, July 24, 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., Room 2
How to Make Toys the McFarlane Way
Join Jean St. Jean, McFarlane Toys sculpting supervisor, in a hands-on demonstration of the artistic methods McFarlane uses to create toys. Learn inside design, sculpting and painting secrets used in the creative process at McFarlane Toys. Moderated by Larry Marder, president of McFarlane Toys, and with Dave Gittleman, multimedia designer.
Saturday, July 24, 6 to 7 p.m., Room 7A
Under the Knife: An Action Figure Sculpting Discussion
Action figure sculpting is pop art that is just coming into the spotlight. In this discussion with some of the industry's top sculptors you will discover the path that led them to many a fanboy's dream job. Find out what tools and materials they use and where laser scanning ends and the sculptor takes over. Panelists will discuss mold making and painting, reveal their favorites and talk about which figures they would like another crack at. Moderator Julius Marx from Action Figure Times is joined by Phil Ramirez, sculptor, Toy Biz; Eric Treadaway, The Four Horsemen--sculptor, Mattel, NECA; Chris Dahlberg, The Four Horsemen--sculptor, Mattel, NECA; Dev Gilmore, account executive, Gentle Giant Studios; Jonathan Mathews, sculptor, DC Direct; Digger, president and founder, Art Asylum; Shawn Knapp, associate art director, DC Direct; Andy Bergholtz, sculptor, Sideshow Collectables; Sam Greenwell, sculptor, Toy Biz, NECA; and Jean St. Jean, sculpting supervisor, McFarlane Toys
For more information on the Con, go to www.comic-con.org.
The other half of the McFarlane Toys road team is currently at the National Sports Collector's Convention in Cleveland, Ohio at the International Expo Center through July 25. Show hours are: July 23-24 8 a.m.-6 p.m.; and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday, July 25. McFarlane Toys' booth will be located in the corporate area in booth numbers 843 and 952 (which are adjacent).
We are offering two limited-edition event-exclusive figures only available at the National:LEBRON JAMES, Cleveland Cavaliers, in his NBA Series 5 pose and dressed in his all-white Cavs uniform; andALLEN IVERSON, Philadelphia 76ers, in his NBA Series 6 pose and featuring the 76ers' blue alternate jersey, one we've never offered before.The figures are extremely limited and are priced at $15 each or $25 for both. Due the highly collectible nature of the product, availability is not guaranteed. Past McFarlane show exclusives have consistently been a sellout.
Collectors will get the opportunity to see McFarlane Toys' upcoming retail product lines before they hit store shelves. Rare prototypes will be on display from the Cooperstown Collection line featuring retired baseball legends. Also on display is a first look at the upcoming Wayne Gretzky figure from the NHL Legends line, slated for release in September. Additional figures featured at the show include the King of Rock 'n' Roll Elvis Presley, 20th Century Fox's Alien vs. Predator, KISS, Conan, NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt Jr., along with several upcoming NFL figures and many more!
Autograph seekers will not be disappointed at this year's lineup! Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson, Tom Seaver and Mike Schmidt along with many others will be appearing at the National. The National Show is the world's largest sports and entertainment convention with more than 700 sports, toys and entertainment dealers, and an autograph pavilion with some 50 athletes and entertainment celebrities. For more information on the event, go to http://natlconv.com.
If you're in either Southern California or the Ohio area, please stop by and meet the nice folks from spawn.com.

Great workstation
I purchased this for our office kitchen since we do not have any counters. It looks great and works well for us. The cabinet handles are cheap and did not screw in like they should. The screws they sent were too long so the handle spins. Other than that it is a great piece.Read More

Exactly like the picture. Bit of a job to put together but worth it. Very pleased.Read More
Great item - perfect fit for my small kitchen
It seemed rather daunting at first; so many pieces to put together! But hubby and I just took one thing at a time. Everything was in great condition and very clearly labeled! We started with the drawers, and then worked our way through the rest of the cart. We left off the spice rack and paper towel holder, as we didn't really need those parts. Took us between 2 and 3 hours, but we're really pleased with the end result. The red is a deeper color than the picture shows, which is fine by me. It has plenty of space for things like my bread machine and various food items, and the drawers are great for holding things like my phone books, placemats, you name it. Very happy with this!Read More
Great little cart.
Difficult to put together, but worth the effort. Lots of storage and a great addition to my kitchen. Love the red.Read More
jgurr, homeowner
Please switch Membership/cart review !! The membership has built my loyalty and confidence: I have not found a better selection, price or delivery service (even when a piece is missing) !Read More
I like it!
As other people mentioned, the assembly was a bit tricky. Steps 6 and 7, where you put the frame together with just wooden dowels were a real challenge. There were so many pieces that were barely held together until something was actually screwed in that we were wishing for another helper or two to keep the whole thing together. I eventually straddled the piece holding it together with my feet thus having two free hands to hold in other places while my husband started on the cams and screws. I would suggest that you work on the right side first where the drawers go because it is a smaller section and has more stability. Other than that, we really like it and look forward to filling it up.Read More
Great Bar Cart for the Money
I am quite pleased with this cart. The wood top is easy to clean, the red is nice and cheery, and it adds lots of storage to my tiny kitchen. I love using the raised drop leaf when we need extra prep space! It took my husband and I 3-4 hours to assemble, and we're both handy people. Not difficult by any means, just lots of steps. The only downside is that the drawers are narrow but deep, so it took me a little while to figure out what to store in them. Overall, I am still very pleased with this purchase.Read More
Added storage/work space in our kitchen
This red kitchen cart met our expectations. It was just what we wanted. It was easier to assemble than the other reviews led us to believe. It took about an hour and a half to complete. I would give this product a thumbs up for sure!Read More
Edna G
It's been two years since I got this cart. It's still going and looks very sturdy even though it's filled with lots of pans and gadgets.Read More
Love it!
I love this cart! I desperately needed more storage for my kitchen. I saw this cart on line and love the idea that the top can expand for even more counter space. As a big baker, I can use the extra space to cool cookie sheets and other things. The paint job is a little uneven, but it works with my more rustic style. The cart would not fit into my space with the spice rack and towel bar attached, so I left them off, and am very happy with it.Read More

FORMER HUTCHINSON BLUE DRAGON ANDY DIRKS READY FOR WORLD SERIESOctober 24, 2012
By Steve Carpenter, HCC Sports Information Director
Seven years ago, Andy Dirks' back was up against the centerfield wall at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium making a game-saving catch to propel the Hutchinson Community College baseball team into the 2005 NJCAA World Series.
In his two seasons at Wichita State University, Dirks led the Shockers to the brink of the College World Series twice with appearances in the Super Regionals.
Now, the former HCC All-Conference outfielder will be starting Game 1 of the 2012 MLB World Series for the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
Detroit needed five games to dispose of the Oakland Athletics in the American League Division Series and then swept the New York Yankees in the ALCS. Dirks has appeared in nine games in this postseason, going 11 for 35 (.257).
Against Oakland, Dirks was 5 for 17 (.294) with a double and stolen base. Against the Yankees, Dirks was 4 for 18 with a double and an RBI. In Game 4, Dirks had three hits, singlehandedly out-hitting the Yankees in the series clincher.
There was question to the status of Dirks for Games 1 and 2, which will be played in San Francisco without the Designated Hitter. But Detroit manager Jim Leyland said Dirks will start in right field in Game 1 against Giants left-hander Barry Zito. ALCS Most Valuable Player and normal DH Delmon Young will start in left field, where Dirks normally plays.
With players like pitcher Justin Verlander, first baseman Prince Fielder and American League Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera grabbing most of the headlines, Dirks normally works in their shadows.
That's just fine with Dirks.
"You don't need to have any pity for me," Dirks told the Detroit Free-Press in a published story. "I don't have to say a word, and I'm already having the time of my life."
The 2012 calendar year has been a whirlwind year for Dirks.
He played winter ball in the Dominican Republic and led his Leones del Escogido team to the Dominican championship. Dirks delivered the game-winning hit in the series clincher.
Dirks then made the Tigers' 25-man roster out of spring training, but injuries slowed his progress. During the regular-season, he hit .322 with 56 runs, 101 hits, 18 doubles, five triples and eight home runs. But his missed 55 straight games with an injury.
"It's been a crazy season in that there was a time there when I couldn't stay healthy," Dirks told the Detroit Free-Press. "You start wondering if it would ever come around. But here I am getting ready for the World Series and hoping to make any contribution I can."
He returned to the Tigers' lineup on August 3 and went 2 for 4 with a RBI against Cleveland. After his return, Dirks hit .295 (28 for 95) with three homers and eight RBIs. The Tigers, who trailed the Chicago White Sox for most of the season, clinched the AL Central title in Kansas City. Dirks played in two of the three games and had three hits in the series.
Dirks was an instrumental member of HCC's 2005 Region VI Championship team that competed in the Juco World Series in Grand Junction, Colo.
While at HCC, The Blue Dragons compiled an 82-35 record in Dirks' two seasons.
Dirks had a .374 career batting average with the Blue Dragons (113 for 302) with 13 career home runs and 78 career RBIs. Dirks had 21 doubles and eight triples while scoring 78 runs and stealing 40 bases.
As a freshman, Dirks hit .341 (57 for 167) with 11 doubles, three triples and two homers while driving in 26 runs. Dirks hit .415 as a sophomore with 10 doubles, five triples and 11 homers. He scored 59 runs, stole 30 bases and had 52 RBIs.
The 2005 team finished in a four-way tie for the Jayhawk West championship and Region VI championship and the 2006 team won the conference outright and went 44-13.
Dirks was first-team All-Jayhawk West and first-team all-Region VI as a sophomore.
Dirks continues to rank high in several single-season and career Blue Dragon categories.
From HCC, Dirks moved onto Wichita State. Dirks has gained plenty of national attention with his streak of reaching base safely in 73 consecutive games and a hitting streak of 29 games, which is the fourth-longest in Shocker history.
Dirks earned first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors and all-regional tournament honors.

iOS 5 beta 2 gallery
For some strange reason, our tip box is now overflowing with 960x640 screenshots (what, no iPad love?) showing a few changes from today's iOS 5 beta 2 release. Among the more interesting ones:
- Welcome screen now has an info button to give you your UDID number, should you have failed to record it previously (Thanks Apple!)
- The iCloud icon in settings is no longer purple. Long live brush metal cone fill!
- Lock screen notifications get a new, single pop up. You can pull down the full list if you like, and if you get multiple notifications, they start to stack again like they did previously.
- Wi-Fi sync in now working, but you need to be connected to a power source.
- iCloud has bumped Exchange from the top spot in mail account setup, while MobileMe has been condemned to the bottom.

iOS 5 beta 2 gallery
last I knew this was about ios not a s s e s... ;)
thats what he said!!
Munchkinsdad...you switched to iPhone, too? Good to see you again!
hello Mr. Orange 645! yup I switched... and lovin it! RIM coudn't keep up LOL
Yes it is fixed.
They added Hotmail!
It was in Beta 1
hehe thats what she said!
What happened to my backup..I've backed up my phone many times and its showing the last back up I did was 6/7/11 ..which sucks
I had originally backed up to iCloud but when I went to restore it said there was no back up, even though I only have 539mb left of my 5gb. So I had to restore iTunes and it said the last back up was done 6/7. I had backed up right before upgrading to 5.2 beta.
mine keeps locking up in xcode during the install. goes almost to the end saying "waiting for device", and stays there. left it for 20 min before shutting it off, and restoring in itunes. now im running 4.3. any ideas?
mine is doing the same thing... why?!
im trying it again. I didnt download and use the new version of xcode. Im hoping thats the problem. I'll update.
Try this:
Starting point: Frozen XCode and Dead iPhone.
1. option + click the "Restore" button on iTunes. Not XCode.
2. Select iOS 5 Beta 2 ipsw file.
And iTunes will install iOS 5 beta 2 without crashing.
If you get stock in Xcode. It's because Xcode is leaving the iPhone on DFU so its that's the case just quit Xcode and open iTunes 10.5 beta 2 install from there. Using iTunes.
Ps. Remember to select the firmware you want to install first. Good luck.
Really you don't have to have it hook up to anything, just go to settings and hit sync. But if you leave iTunes up over night it'll sync once you plug up to power.
BGR says the boot logo is animated... can anyone upload a video of it?
It is not animated. BGR is mistaken, or fed a load of crap. Maybe it will in the final, but really, is an animated boot logo really necessary? I could live without it.
no, i thing Cameron is right, i noticed that although the apple logo is the same, sometimes (i guess this is a beta bug) just before it goes away theres a small animation where light comes out the back of the apple logo which turns black. best way i can describe it. anyways, i admit that is beta 1, will get beta 2 now and ill see if its still there.
Wireless iTunes Sync is working and really cool. In fact, I didn't even have to do anything on the iPhone or even plug it into a power source for that matter. I was on my computer and my iPhone was across the room and when I opened up iTunes it automatically detected my iPhone and I could sync it and everything
sprint iphone 5 please please please. that is all.
If, IF, Sprint gets an iPhone, then if they sell more than about 50, their network will cripple so badly that they wish they wouldn't have put the iPhone on it.
Lol. The iPhone wouldn't touch Sprint. Heard of WiMax?
Bluetooth bug is fixed, but viewing profile on Twitter still crashes. Wallpapers are back too!
Anyone know how to get rid of the BIG notify box when the screen is locked? I liked it better in beta 1 when is was just a banner.
Actually...it looks like an over-sight from Apple. Comes up as an Alert (minus the buttons) and a Banner.
Hi, thank you for the post, I just installed and activated the beta 2 on my iPhone after having registered my UDID on registermybeta:com
They're very fast and friendly, I hope this can help ;)
Cheers !
Don't try to touch the bar start the slide from above the screen
Tabs in safari are nice, however I wish They didn't completely get rid of the page thumbnail view. Why not keep the tabs, but put a button in the nab bar so you can zoom out and see all open pages, like before. They put all that work into UI development, which was pretty slick, and then hatchet it? It doesn't have to be Tabs or thumbnails, it can be both! I hope that returns before GM, it was a mistake to hatchet it.
Anyone else notice music and video are separate and no longer "iPod" is this a beta thing?
Also anyone explain what options are in the FaceTime settings.
I'd still like to see more text tone options. I don't see why it's such an issue! Otherwise, I love you, iPhone.
I had the same problem but found a solution by using itunes 10.5 to install it instead
Starting point: Frozen XCode and Dead iPhone.
1. option + click the "Restore" button on iTunes. Not XCode.
2. Select iOS 5 Beta 2 ipsw file.
And iTunes will install iOS 5 beta 2 without crashing.
I just found one I haven't seen elsewhere. If you're in the camera.app, you can swipe left to see the camera roll.
yep that was in beta 1
Still no "Reminders" showing up in the notification center. Isn't that supposed to be happening? Or just calendar appointments?
the one thing that has been pissing me off, is installing the beta on my ipod touch 3G, and when i add my music all is well, but when i plug it into my earphones or AUX in my car. The bastard restarts and what not. Fix!
if you want a FREE 15$ ITUNES GIFT CARD follow these directions:
1) install the shopkick app from the app store.
2) after clicking "let's do it" (haha) click cancel at the top left of your ipod.
3) go to the "me tab at the bottom left of your ipod.
4) click the " got a promo code? box and on the next screen type in mink8492 ...this works on all ipod touch generations jailbroken or not.
I cannot copy and paste in safari inputs, for example if I want to post a link on FaceBook using safari and I copy the link from a site, I cannot paste it on safari. After pressing down and the magnifying glass comes up, it is supposed to be followed with the copy cut option but it never comes up. Anyone else experiencing this?
I dont like iphone........
Becoz I can't use corporate purpose. Wast of time.
Wast of time to spent and writing the comment also.

Chest freezers
If you're stocking up for armageddon or just love shopping at Iceland, a chest freezer is a must. These freezers are cavernous, allowing you to store prolific amounts of food for the months to come. Chest freezers are fantastic for large or busy households, batch cooking and freezing food for catering on a large scale. And because you're not restricted by drawer height, you can freeze all kinds of food items, whatever their shape and size.

Henry Adams said that politics is the systematic organization of hatreds. For the left in the past year, it has seemed at times to be the systematic organization of hatred of Ted Cruz.
The freshman senator is not the first Texan to be so honored. In fact, the state isn't holding up its end if, at any given moment, it isn't throwing onto the national scene at least one Republican reviled by the other side.
The party's highest-profile Texans, George W. Bush and Rick Perry, tended to match inarticulateness with cowboy swagger and lend themselves to mockery as intellectual lightweights. Bush went to Yale and Harvard Business School, yet no one naturally thinks of him as an Ivy Leaguer. The two Lone Star State governors played into the left's stereotypes so nicely that if they didn't exist, the New York Times editorial board would have had to invent them.
Cruz is different — a Princeton and Harvard man who not only matriculated at those fine institutions but excelled at them. Champion debater at Princeton. Magna cum laude graduate at Harvard. Supreme Court clerkship, on the way to Texas solicitor general and dozens of cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Cruz is from the intellectual elite, but not of it, a tea-party conservative whose politics are considered gauche at best at the storied universities where he studied. He is, to borrow the words of the 2008 H.W. Brands biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a traitor to his class.
Democrats and liberal pundits would surely dislike Cruz no matter where he went to school, but his pedigree adds an element of shocked disbelief to the disdain. "Princeton and Harvard should be disgraced," former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell exclaimed on MSNBC, as if graduating a constitutionalist conservative who rises to national prominence is a violation of the schools' mission statements.
One of the left's deepest prejudices is that its opponents are stupid, and Cruz tramples on it. At hearings, Cruz has the prosecutorial instincts of a … Harvard-trained lawyer. Watching Attorney General Eric Holder try to fend off Cruz's questioning on the administration's drone policy a few months ago was like seeing a mouse cornered by a very large cat.
Cruz hasn't played by the Senate rules that freshmen should initially be seen and not heard. At another hearing, as Cruz says that the highest commitment of senators should be to the Constitution, another senator can be heard muttering that he doesn't like being lectured. Chairman Pat Leahy (probably the mutterer) eventually cuts him off and informs him he hasn't been in the Senate very long.
None of this is to endorse all of Cruz's tactical judgments or to deny he can irk his own side at times. His push to defund Obamacare this fall is a grass-roots-pleasing slogan in search of a realistic path to legislative fruition.
It is no secret that Cruz has presidential aspirations. Even if he ascends no higher, though, he will be a force in the Senate. He could spend decades making liberals recoil at what Princeton and Harvard hath wrought.

Recipe by DRUMNWRITE
"These are so tasty your family won't believe they are eating healthy! Nothing this good for you should taste so good...or be this easy to cook. These are delicious plain, but may be dipped in honey mustard sauce, ketchup, or even guacamole."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

sweet potatoes, cut into French fries
2 tablespoons
canola oil
3 tablespoons
taco seasoning mix
1/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
Good cooking method, but the original recipe is not so tasty. Made this to a T the first time and all I tasted was taco seasoning, taking away from the nice, sweet flavor of the sweet potato. So since then, I've tossed the potatoes in a large ziploc bag, drizzled with olive oil (about 1-2 tablespoon), and lightly sprinkle with kosher salt, sometimes with pepper if the kids aren't eating and toss to coat. I bake the first 20 min. on 400, last 15-20 min. on 425. 1 hour is too much and burns them. I've dipped these in ranch sauce (kid's fav), garllic aioli or just eat plain. Good way to get the kids to eat sweet potatoes without frying - full of vitamin A and beta carotene. Also great with steak dinners. 2 stars for original recipe - 5 stars with changes. Tip - put a greased sheet of foil on your cookie sheet - no sticking and no mess.
Tasty but oh so soggy.... you've gotta eat them REALLY quick.
555 Ratings
I'm giving this recipe five stars because I want people to *try* it. However, with the minor changes below!! I made them and, sure enough, they burned on the bottom. Didn't even need to flip them; the top was crispy enough. My suggestions pretty much go along with the rest listed in the reviews:
Cook at a lower temp ~ between 400-425 (NOT 450!)
I cut them into approx. 1/4" sticks (regardless of the size, I still think a lower temp is necessary to stop burning).
I just used kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, olive oil..tossed in a bowl to coat. No extra spices.
Most certainly coat your cookie sheets with oil and you really do need to put them in single layers.
Follow these tips, and you should enjoy crispy, healthy, tasty sweet potato fries!
These were excellent! I used olive oil in place of canola, and Cajun seasoning instead of taco seasoning. Also lowered the temperature to 400F for the first 30 minutes and turned it up to 425F for the last half of baking. The key to keeping these from sticking is spraying the pan with cooking spray - I had no troubles. They were soft and crispy all at once and were fantastic paired with the Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers from this site. Definitely recommend these fries, and don't be afraid to play with the seasonings to suit your taste!
These are great if you follow the recommendations of other reviewers. I used three sweet potatoes (there's only two of us, and we even had leftovers), cut them like fries, and tossed them with chili powder, garlic powder, fresh pepper, kosher salt, and 2 Tbsp. olive oil. I baked them for 40 minutes at 400 degrees (flipped them halfway), and they turned out so well and so healthy!
This recipe was good, but I made a different version. Instead of the taco seasoning, I used Lawry's seasoned salt. And olive oil, although tasty, isnt necessary. I just sprayed the pan with some nonstick cooking spray and that did the trick. Baked at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes and they come out crispy on both sides after turning, delicious and super healthy!
As per previous reviewers stated lower oven temp--I also changed spices up and have been making them as potato round with my crinkle cutter for years using just enough olive oil to toss with paprika spinkled on (sounds odd but its good!) have also just used french fry seasoning on them. Dunk in ketchup as desired! I swear by using Reynolds non stick foil and can get by with less olive oil--they get crisp faster with less oil and less baking!
Who'd have thought that fries could taste so good AND be healthy?! To speed things up, I microwaved each sweet potato for about 2-3 min. (make sure you prick them several times with a fork to let the air out). This allowed me to only have to bake them for a half hour total time. Also, instead of using the spices the recipe called for, I used old bay seasoning (it's all I had at the time - and it's what I'll use from now on!) and everyone loved them! This will be a recipe I'll always come back to.

In this secluded setting, the farmers of Sierra de Cazorla grow their olives and watch for the first olives to ripen in November, which are pampered for a unique flavor and aroma that can be acquired only in such a perfect balance of soil, climate, and human skill. The process of collecting and processing olive oil is usually carried out in December, but for Elizondo this process takes place between late October and early November. The early collection of the olives raises a problem of lower yield in Elizondo's harvest. But the solution is clear; Elizondo's founders prefer a lower yield and in return get unique oil, different from any other conventional oil.
This beautiful olive oil is packaged in a gift-quality bottle with a built in mister. Use this bottle to spray a fine mist of olive oil over fish, shellfish, grilled poultry, or steamed vegetables. With a color ranging between bright green and gold, this olive oil is just as beautiful as the bottle it is packaged in. The aroma is a mix of green olives, artichokes, cut herbs, and banana, blending in perfect harmony and moderation. In the mouth, Elizondo Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a mild and sweet flavor to start. This builds to a stronger intensity, with almond-esque flavors, with a final gentle touch of peppery spice and velvety vanilla and mint.

Cassandra White and Randi McAfee, current student body President and Vice-President, hope to continue the 102 years of "students serving students", at Washburn University. Using a "student focused" approached, undoubtedly a founding principle, the White/McAfee Administration hopes to integrate students to three entities the Administration finds crucial to future success: Washburn University, the Topeka Community, and the Washburn Student Government Association.
Questions all students should ask themselves: Do you want your voice to be heard? Do you have an idea for a project that will benefit Washburn Students? Do you have suggestions on how WSGA can help you achieve academic excellence? Luckily, the Washburn Student Government Association currently offers great opportunities to become engaged in the ever-growing Washburn University.
Student Initiative Grant proposals provide students with the funding and implementation of campus enhancement projects. Finals Week, a highly anticipated week amongst students, provides study aids, stress relief, study breaks, and free food that fosters a culture of healthy, steadfast studying found in all Ichabods.

"It's very humbling to be part of this community," Sam Gulisano said in the parking lot of the blue building that helps anchor Bridge Street in Waitsfield.
The building was severely damaged during Tropical Storm Irene and Sam's son Jason's restaurant that was in the building, The Green Cup, was destroyed. The brick sidewalk that Sam and Jason had built in front of the building was destroyed and the garden patio behind the restaurant was swept away.
One tenant of the building, Liz Lovely's retail sweet shop, was destroyed before it opened, and Cheap Thrills thrift shop was destroyed.
"It would have been easier to give it back to the bank. My son Jason took a real emotional hit. He lost his business. But we live here. We live upstairs. The outpouring of support from the community the next day was incredible. Hundreds of people showed up here to help. It says a lot about the community, but we still didn't know if we could pull it off. It's an old building. The foundation was part plywood," Sam Gulisano said.
They have pulled it off though. There's a new foundation and several new businesses including The Sweet Spot and Scouts Honor Ice Cream, The Green Closet and the soon-to-open Peasant Restaurant. And it's still a family affair. Sam and his wife Barbra's daughter, Lisa Curtis, owns and operates The Sweet Spot, a bakery and coffee shop, and the husband of their daughter Sarina, John Vitko, is the ice cream maker.
Their new restaurant tenant, Chris Alberti, is a former New York stock trader turned vintner and sous chef for Jason at The Green Cup. His new restaurant, featuring simple Italian fare as well as wines he makes, will be served at the newly refurbished restaurant when it opens this month. The back room of the restaurant features a gorgeous new bar. The front room is painted in vibrant colors and Alberti is a consummate host, proffering samples of his award-winning wines and food.
His operation is also a family affair. He will be joined by his wife Mary Ellen and several of their five children in running the restaurant.
Elsewhere on Bridge Street, the rebuilding is nearing completion, with the exception of the Birke Photography Studio. The Birke Photography Studio, one of Waitsfield's oldest buildings, was lifted off its foundation and left leaning against the blue building during the flood.
The driveway of All Things Bright and Beautiful as well as their gardens and foundation were swept away. MINT Restaurant was wrecked and the building that housed Lost and Found was inundated with water. Despite their flood insurance claim being denied, MINT owners Savitri Bhagavati and Iliyan Deskov, with the local support and volunteers, re-opened this spring. All Things Bright and Beautiful has a driveway, a foundation and beautiful gardens again. Quench Artspace has opened up where Lost and Found used to be. The Birke Photography Building was dismantled and removed from the foundation. Today lawn chairs sit on the foundation facing the river.

This pledge closed 7 months ago
Who will stop abuse? Working together we all will.
Take the first step to stop abuse. Make a personal commitment to be an Abuse Stopper by taking the pledge. Join us as we work together to stop abuse and alleviate the suffering of all that abuse involves.
Abuse is a horror so chilling that our first impulse is to turn away in hope that by ignoring reality it will disappear. But abuse doesn't just stop when we cover our eyes to it like a child that's watching a scary movie.
There is no hiding from abuse, it's everywhere and it affects everyone. We need more caring supporters, like you, that are dedicated to creating an abuse free world to help us stop abuse from existing and spreading.
Together, we are empowered to face the reality of abuse so we can prevent and stop abuse.
Now is the time, abuse can stop! Children can grow up into healthy adults, without fear. Domestic partners can live in peace and harmony. The threat of rape will no longer haunt anyone. Our grandparents will no longer feel vulnerable to financial or physical abuse. Working together, all of the many different ways of abuse can stop!
All we must do is to make a commitment for what's right.
Pledge and declare that from this day forward, "Abuse stops with me!"
Abuse Stoppers stand up together with strength, dedication, and enduring hope to face the menace that is abuse. Take the pledge and start being an Abuse Stopper today. Always remember, "Abuse stops with me!"
Thank you for your support!,
Andrew & Kenny
P.S. Please email us here, [email protected], if you are interested in volunteering with the Stop Abuse Campaign. Thanks!

Chicago: A Conversation with Barbara Babcock on Woman Lawyer
October 13, 2011 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Professor Barbara Babcock will discuss her new book and its connection to the movements for women's rights and for public defense. The Judge John Crown Professor, Emerita, Babcock was the first woman appointed to the regular faculty at Stanford Law School (in 1972) and won many teaching awards over the thirty years at the Law School. She was the First Director of the Public Defender Service in DC before coming to Stanford and on leave in 1977-80 served as an Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division in the Carter Administration.
Copies of Woman Lawyer will be available for purchase and light refreshments will be served. This event is free and guests are welcome, but registration is required.
Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor at Slate, and one of Barbara Babcock's former students wrote about Woman Lawyer:"Barbara Babcock conjures and brings to life a nearly-forgotten feminist hero. This account of Clara Foltz's rise from an under-educated farmer's wife to an icon of the California women's movement and a national public intellectual is both riveting and strangely familiar. That a single mother of five could have exploded into the hurly-burly world of California in the 1870s and through mastery of the media, manipulation of her public image, and dogged hard work become a national force for early progressive jurisprudence is astonishing. That women in 2011 could have no collective memory of Foltz is tragic. Babcock brings Foltz back to us with great tenderness and subtlety, reclaiming a place in American legal history for a working mother and national thinker who has much to teach us still."

The Mocs managed just 33.3 percent shooting (18-54) from the field including 22.7 percent (5-22) from three-point range. Wofford on the other hand hit 51.9 percent (27-52) from the floor and 50.0 percent (11-22) from beyond the arc.
Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn) was the bright spot for Chattanooga. He scored 24 points and grabbed six rebounds on the night. Wofford's Karl Cochran countered with a career-high 30 points to go with five rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
Behind Mason, UTC made it interesting early in the second half. Down 18 at the break, Mason led the charge scoring the squad's first 10 points after intermission. He scored his 10 in four consecutive possessions to whittle the lead to 13, 50-37, on a baseline jumper with 16:16 to play.
He started and ended an 11-0 run that got the Mocs within nine, 50-41. Mason's jumper at 14:51 came just 42 seconds after a strong take to the basket by Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) turning momentum squarely in Chattanooga's favor.
But the Terriers did not wilt. Up 15, 66-51, with 7:06 left, their 12-3 run over the next 4:03 cemented the win. Aeris Smith made one of two free throws to put his team up 78-54 at the 3:03 mark. UTC scored the final four points for the 78-58 final tally.
McGhee had 13 points and a game-high seven rebounds for the Mocs. Wofford's Jarell Byrd matched that effort with 13 and seven of his own off the bench.
Cochran 20 of his 30 points in the first half. After Casey Jones (New Orleans, La.) made it a seven-point affair, 28-21, with 6:26 left, Cochran and his mates closed strong. Wofford out-scored its visitors 17-6 over that final six-and-a-half to take a 45-27 lead into the break.
Chattanooga returns home this week for the final two contests in McKenzie Arena this season. Thursday brings UNCG to the Scenic City, while Elon visits on Saturday. UTC celebrates "Voice of the Mocs" Jim Reynolds' 1,000 games behind the microphone on Thursday.

Pronounced: beks-AIR-oh-teen
Classification: Retinoid
Bexarotene belongs to a class of drugs known as retinoids. Retinoids are drugs that are relatives of vitamin A. The exact way bexarotene works is unknown, but it is believed to inhibit the growth of tumor cells.
Bexarotene is given in a pill form or a gel form that is applied to the skin. The actual dose is based on your body size. Bexarotene should be taken with food, preferably at the same time each day, with a glass of water or juice. Grapefruit juice may interact with bexarotene and should be avoided.
Safety Considerations When Receiving Bexarotene:
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Bexarotene. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. This article addresses side effects from the oral form of this medication.
Your skin may become dry, itchy or develop cracking. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, which can result in severe sunburn or rash. Sun sensitivity can last even after you stop taking the medication. Avoid the sun as much as possible, as even a little exposure can cause a burn. Do not use a sunlamp or tanning bed. Wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) everyday; wear sunglasses and long sleeves/pants to protect your skin and eyes. Use skin moisturizers and lip balm regularly. For more suggestions, read the Nail and Skin Care Tip Sheet.
Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication and other strategies to relive pain. Also view OncoLink's page on pain management.
Your doctor will perform blood tests to check the function of your thyroid. If your thyroid gland becomes under active, a medication will be prescribed to correct this problem.
The cholesterol levels in your blood may become elevated. Your doctor will do blood tests to monitor your cholesterol levels. If they do become elevated, a medication may be needed to lower it.
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
In rare cases hair may become thin, brittle, or fall out. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. You may want to use a soft hairbrush and a gentle or baby shampoo to avoid stress on your hair. Avoid hair dyes, perms, bleaches or hair spray. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun.
Diabetics may find that their blood sugar levels are higher and those patients who require insulin may require higher doses to control their blood sugar.
See OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.

Amanda Seyfried Admits She's "Pretty Drunk" During David Letterman Appearance
Those Les Mis girls sure know how to party.
Amanda Seyfried was just on David Letterman's show to promote Les Miserables, and she said they had to live like monks while filming, to protect their voices. "You don't drink alcohol because it dehydrates you," she said. "You drown yourself in water. You always have to pee."
So no alcohol. Dave asked if she had been drinking that night. "Yeah, I'm pretty drunk," Amanda said, in her deadpan way. How many drinks had she had? "To be honest with you, Dave, I've had about three." What kind of drinks? Amanda said she's a fan of whiskey, and Russell Crowe recently gave her some Midleton for her birthday. (Hugh Jackman gave her a lap dance. He wins.)
Dave asked if she was all right, and Amanda said yes, adding, "I have to go on record saying I have never done a live television show after noon without some kind of liquid courage. ... I understand that I have a problem, maybe, but you know what, it really gets me through."
She has major stage fright and has never done a Broadway play or anything, so she's not that used to live performances. So Dave gave her even more to drink, then toasted with her. She's a saucy girl! But can you really blame her for wanting some liquid courage?

Very disappointed
First of all, this was purchased for my son's friend for a birthday and the purchase was time sensitive. Aside from the shipment being lost and having to have Overstock.com reorder it, when it finally arrived two weeks late, the first thing he sees is the word, "CHINA" stamped on the inside of the ring. Really?? Does anyone want to have this on the inside of a ring especially if they are giving it to someone as a gift? Not happy at all. DO NOT BUY THIS RING.Read More
Save your money
Don't waste you money if you want a ring that will last more than a few months. Mine didn't make it more than that... and it lost one of the stones and looked pretty bad (kinda like bubble gum machine jewelry looks) I wanted something low profile to wear instead of my wedding ring so I wouldn't scratch my newborn. Now I wish I had spent a little more and got something nicer.Read More

I have done some reading on Interstate transport of weapons. We are heading from TX to ME. My understanding is if they honor TX and I have CHL, I can carry while driving through the state. If they do not honor (as in most of the North East except PA), my safest be is to lock it in a gun safe, unloaded, possibly with the slide removed and ammunition separate container. That is good to go?? I read about NY, NJ, MA, MD and their crazy laws and second guess myself and my understanding. Any clarification? Also, if the state does not recognize TX CHL,I understand you can not carry. However does that affect the Interstate Transport rule: "a person shall be entitled to transport a firearm from any place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearms" In Maine where TX has no agreement I can not carry. However, I can carry it unloaded and not concealed. Would that still count as lawfully being able to possess my weapon?
thanks all,

Friday, July 4, 2014
With the summer boating season kicking into high gear with the Fourth of July weekend, Berkeley County Rescue Squad Chief Bill Salisbury is stressing the importance of boater safety and awareness when taking to the water.
Its important for people to understand now that summers here, there will be a lot of boating traffic out there, he said. Its important for boaters to be aware and follow safety guidelines.
Salisbury said a few moments in the marina could help avoid disaster on the water.
Please file a float plan, he said. Let people know where youre going and how long you plan to be gone.
Check the weather. Out there on the lake bad weather can whip up pretty fast.
Salisbury cited a recent rescue of three boaters whose craft had been hit by waves and took on water. He said their rapid emergency 911 call and keeping cell phones and life jackets in use during the ordeal helped avoid a possible tragedy.
Its important to be aware of changing conidtions on the lake, he said.
Salisbury mentioned the June 1 rescue call where three young people spent more than eight hours in the water after their boat sank.
Had they filed a float plan we could have located them much sooner, Salisbury said. The parents were convinced their kids were on the river and not on Lake Moultrie. A lot of time was wasted because Rescue Squad workers didnt know where to look.
Salisbury cited a similar incident involving three young people and a jet ski.
We received a call that there were three young people in their early twenties out on a jet ski and it was taking on water and sinking, he said, But because they had their life jackets and cell phone, they were able to stay afloat and call 911.
After the boaters were rescued they were asked if any family members would have noticed their absence otherwise.
They replied that their parents didnt even know they were taking the jet ski out on the lake and that could have been a disaster, Salisbury said. Fortunately, Berkeley County Rescue Squad and the Lake Moultrie Fire Department were able to locate them and bring them back to safety.
While Lake Moultrie is a relatively shallow lake, it averages depths of more than 30 feet, with a deepest point of 74 feet at the powerhouse.
In the event of severe weather, waves on the lake can grow larger than eight feet.
Salisbury advised boaters to always wear life jackets and be mindful of rapidly changing weather conditions.
Watch the weather and if bad weather flares up, dont try to go back to your landing where you put in, he said. Find the nearest landing, the nearest piece of dry land, and go there. Wait for the storm to pass then try to return to your vehicle.
The unique feature about this lake with it being so shallow, when the lake was formed they came in and cut the trees in half. There are stumps all over that lake and some lie just beneath the surface. You have to be careful where you take your boat.
Formed in 1966, the Berkeley County Rescue Squad is a 30-member all volunteer organization that answers on average of two rescue calls per week.

Home builder finds a home downtownBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | February 11,2013The iconic Gryphon Building has added another new tenant.
Mountain View Modular Homes has opened an office and showroom on the second floor of the office building at the corner of West Street and Merchants Row.
Mountain View Modular Homes specializes in custom-built modular homes, log homes, and garage packages. The company manufactures homes from starter models to custom-designed mansions.
Owner Drew Pierce said after running the business out of his home office, it was time to relocate to a more visible location with a showroom.
Pierce, a third-generation home builder, sells Ritz-Craft homes, a Pennsylvania manufacturer of custom-built modular homes.
He said he fills a niche market for people who want a custom home but dont want a stick built or manufactured home.
Its less expensive than stick building, more expensive than manufactured, Pierce said.
He said Ritz-Craft Corp. has finished homes that start for under $100,000. Pierce said hes currently doing a $300,000 home in Isle LaMotte.
At his showroom in the Gryphon Building, customers can pick out faucets, fixtures, cabinets, lights, carpets, flooring, siding and roofing material.
Pierce said his homes are also Energy Star rated for energy efficiency.
Mike Coppinger, Downtown Rutland Partnership executive director, said while ground floor retail space is visible to the public, the upper floors in the downtown provide an essential mix of services such as law firms, and accounting and insurance agencies.
A lot of those buildings, the majority are filled on those upper floors, Coppinger said. That helps landlords stabilize rents on the first floor.
Coppinger couldnt provide a percentage in terms of occupancy of the upper floors but said it was very healthy.
He said Pierces company (www.mountainviewmodulars.com) is the first of its kind of business to find a home in the downtown.
The Gryphon Building is one of several downtown properties owned by Mark Foley and his family.
