Varanasi [17], once known as Benares or Banaras and Kashi, is a historical city in northern India. The city is sacred to Hindus and also one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. In many ways Varanasi epitomizes the very best and worst aspects of India, and it can be a little overwhelming. However, the scene of pilgrims doing their devotions in the River Ganges at sunrise set against the backdrop of the centuries old temples is probably one of the most impressive sights in the world. Some people believe that Varanasi is a must see destination on any trip to northern India. Others do not find it particularly interesting to see Hindus bathing themselves in the Ganges, and are turned off by the feces that floods the Ganges and covers the alleys of Varanasi.
The city can be scorchingly hot in the summer months so, if possible, time your visit to fall between October and March, and bring something warm to wear for chilly days and nights, instead.
Get in
Varanasi is well connected by train and bus, with multiple of each heading in every direction daily. The trains and buses are dirty and overcrowded by Western standards.
By train
Trains are the easiest way to reach Varanasi, with multiple daily services to cities including Delhi, Agra, Lucknow, Mumbai and Kolkata.
Varanasi is served by two major railway stations. Many trains arrive at Varanasi Junction (IR station code : BSB) in the heart of the city, and many others arrive at Mughal Sarai Junction (IR station code : MGS), about 15 km east of the city (Rs 20, 45 min in a rickshaw).
Here is a list of useful trains to reach Varanasi:
Also see Rail travel in India
By bus
There are daily buses to the Nepali border and other points around northern India. Local buses leave from the main bus station near the train station, almost every hour in the morning and one in the evening, to Gorakhpur (5-6 hrs, Rs 120), from where buses leave to the Nepali border at Sonauli (~3 hrs, Rs 56).
There are buses run by state government from Lucknow (8hrs), Kanpur (9hrs - Rs. 195) and Allahabad(3hrs - Rs. 88)
By plane
Varanasi Airport (IATA: VNS) is about 25km from the city center. Indian Airlines [18], Jet Airways/JetLite [19], Kingfisher [20] and SpiceJet [21] all have daily flights to Delhi and there are daily flights to Mumbai on JetLite ,Indian Airlines and SpiceJet.
Allow plenty of time to get to the airport, it can take an hour or more depending on traffic. A taxi (from the pre-paid stand just outside the terminal) should run around Rs 400-500 (plus Rs40 parking toll) or about Rs 125 in an auto-rickshaw, but most drivers will want to charge double since they will likely be coming back empty. If it suits your schedule there is a daily bus at 10AM that leaves from Hotel India and costs Rs 50.
Get around
Many of the sights are in the tiny narrow winding alleys of the waterfront. Rickshaws are only useful for longer trips across town or to the train stations. A cycle-rickshaw from the Junction train station to Dasaswamedh Ghat (or Godaulia if the road is closed) should cost Rs 20, an auto rickshaw about Rs 70. From Godaulia to Assi Ghat is Rs 10. Taxis exist but traffic makes them impractical. There is a pre-paid auto-rickshaw stand at the Varanasi Junction (Cantt) train station, however if you go with this option make sure to keep your prepaid receipt until the end of your journey, or your driver may not take you the whole way. Rs55 is enough to get to the old town.
By foot is the only way to see the waterfront and the ghats but be ready to be hot, sweaty, and lost - locals are usually happy to point you in the right direction. The names of ghats and signs pointing to restaurants and hotels are often painted on the walls in Roman letters. For better orientation, walk into any book store and pick up a small guide/map book that will have the list of all the ghats and their historical background.
By car There are many car rental companies available.
Varanasi is not a city with distinct tourist destinations as such: instead, the experience is in watching the spectacle of life and death on the river and meandering through the alleys of the old city.
A ghat is a series of steps leading down to the river, used by bathers and pilgrims, and riverside Varanasi consists of a long sequence of these. It's generally possible to walk directly between them, though near Manikarnika Ghat you'll have to navigate your way up and around through the alleyways. The best option for viewing the ghats is to charter a boat and see them from the river.
Hindus consider it auspicious to die in Varanasi, so some ghats are known as burning ghats, where bodies are cremated (in full view) before their ashes are placed in the Ganges.
Some of the main ghats, from north to south:
Otherwise, many hotels in Varanasi organise 'free' boat rides for you, the catch being that the 'free' portion of the ride is usually only half an hour, and after seeing 30mins of the river enough people agree to pay for more to make it worth their while.
Sankrit Tour Zone has its extension counter on Dashaswamedh ghat which books Sunrise boating directly online and offline. Fixed rate shop with no bargaining. email: [email protected] or +91-9648000010.
During the trip "market boats" will float up to you selling overpriced trinkets which can be bought much cheaper on land. Any offers of flowers for puja will definitely not be free; Rs 2 per flower bowl and Rs 5 per candle bowl are the going rates, though as a tourist you might be asked for as much as Rs 100 each.
Varanasi is famous for its fine silk - it's on offer everywhere, but shop around and bargain hard!
There are numerous food outlets and a very dynamic range in quality. The restaurants closer to the ghats cater more to foreign tourists, with variable success. To get really authentic Banarasi Khana you're going to have to get to the main market area or, better, to have a banarasi friend inviting you at home. Benares Dum Aloo is a local specialty, and the city is also known for its desserts. You can't go away from Benares without eating local specialities as aloo chat and pani puri and, in general, the street food. Paan, a betel nut mixture usually containing tobacco, is not really food, but is something Benares is famous for all over India.
Benarasi Delicacies
Another excellent place for rabri & malai is Atul's shop (6-12 pm), another hole-in-the wall shop on the alley that starts beside the Bank of Baroda ATM on Dasaswamedh ghat ; just ask anybody for Atul Bhaiyyas shop once you enter the alley.
Weekly Event:A movie is shown every Sunday at 6pm followed by a special dinner.
I would not recommend this at all. Set up by an American James Hetherington who claimed to be a businessman ; it was actually a front for his Christian missionary activities. He hails from Kansas, Missouri and Bread of Life Bakery originated there www.breadoflifebakery.net/
Middle-Eastern Food
Possibly due to a high influx of tourists from Israel, a number of Middle Eastern restaurants have opened in Varanasi, all of which serve very similar food, cater to a predominantly tourist clientèle, and charge a little over Rs 100 for a thali.
The food is awful too with the Jordanians gone.
very good quality, pleasant open air magnetosphere
This temple has been usurped by thugs who sponsor this restaurant. Avoid on ethical grounds. No other heritage Indian temple has a restaurant in its courtyard !
The Taj is excellent as usual.
The most interesting area to stay is around the ghats. This is where most foreigners hang out - and with good reason. In addition to the ghats and river, Varanasi's most famous temples and main market are all located in this area. Another choice is Sarnath, about 8km from Varanasi. It is a little removed from 'the action' but much safer and calmer than Varanasi.
Some budget accommodations advertise free morning and evening boat rides along the river. Technically, it is not free. The boat will take you half-way along the river and then let the boat-load of passengers know that for the second-half there is a fee of 60 rupees per person. Those who do not want to continue can get out of the boat and walk back to their lodging.
Beware that Varanasi, particularly during summer, is prone to many hours of power outages a day. It is best to double check that you fan of A/C is run from a backup generator, or you may not have it for much of the day.
Stay safe
Violent crime is rare, but still do be careful in the lanes after dark. Carry a lamp; power outages are extremely common, and the alleys are hard enough to navigate in daylight, let alone in pitch dark, because of their broken paving stones and cows common.
Women especially need to dress conservatively and to be careful. Even taking precautions, expect to have the odd local young man try to quickly grope you and run away. Respond aggressively and loudly to try to discourage this behavior as much as possible.
Rickshaw/taxi scams are a norm in Varanasi, and the driver will inevitably tell you that the hotel that you wish to go to has burned down, is flooded, or closed. Don't believe him. Drivers receive commission from hotels for bringing in new guests, and this is one way to trick newcomers to going to these places. Don't get annoyed, but see the exchange as playful banter and part of the Varanasi experience. However, if the driver continuously refuses to follow your instructions, threaten to get out of the rickshaw. If after all this you still end up to a different place, just refuse to pay until you arrive at your hotel. The same procedure will need to be followed when sight seeing, as drivers will inevitably try to take you to handicraft stores, from which they receive commission. If calling for a pickup from a more resepctable hostel, be wary that other taxi drivers may listen in to your phone conversation then tell another taxi driver who will pick you up pretending to be your hostel, then take you to a commision charging hostel.
As you approach Manikarnika Ghat you will probably be ushered toward a plain concrete building to view the funeral pyres. The person that leads you there will say that he is a volunteer at the hospice center and will tell you how he takes care of poor people that don't have enough money to buy wood for their funerary burning. He'll tell you that wood costs 300 rupees per kilogram (it's actually closer to 5 rupees per kilogram) and that most foreigners donate between 5 and 10 kilograms of wood to his center, at which point he'll ask for a donation from you. If it isn't obvious already, this is a scam. Either tell him you have no money or that you don't feel comfortable donating at the time.
There is, rather understandably, some resentment at tourists traipsing up to the cremation ghats for raucous sightseeing at the funeral ceremonies of loved ones. Behave respectfully and do not take photographs of cremations, even from the river.
You can take photographs if it is from a distance ; most do not mind. There are touts who for a fee will "stop minding". Note that if it is the family that objects then you have to respect it but not if local riff raff object in the interest of extracting money. Offer the money and if they seem ready to accept ,withdraw it and photograph ! Call the police if necessary.
also as this city is full of temples you will have to take off your shoes/sandals at every point. so wear a flip flop which is easy to take off.
BSNL, Reliance,Idea, and Airtel are the most popular cell phone services in the region. If you bring your GSM cellphone from home, you can get a cheap connection and cash card from Idea or Airtel from anywhere in India and call within India and abroad.
Internet is widely available, especially in the lanes between Dasaswamedh Ghat and Assi Ghat. Price is usually Rs 20-30/hour. Several branches of Iway BROADBAND (rs.15-20)are sprinkled around town as well.
Calling abroad is cheap from Iway branches.
Now a days, it is not so easy to get a new sim card because of security reasons. Normally the shopkeeper will ask for identity as well as address proof for the sim card. He will ask for photograph also which is the standard procedure.
Before giving access to internet, shopkeeper will ask for Identity proof and he will note down your details. In some cases, he will take a photostate copy of your identity proof and will keep photostate copy with him. This is as per the instructions of authorities.

Newly elected 22nd Judicial District Attorney Will Furse will rely on a combination of local experience and fresh vision to staff the prosecutor's office and handle criminal matters in the district for the next four years.
Four deputies will be on staff at the DA's office. Two newcomers to Montezuma County along with two holdovers from predecessor Russell Wasley's office will aid Furse in handling the 22nd district's prosecutorial case load.
Prior to the election, deputy DA Brett VanWinkle left the office to open a private law practice in Durango, where he resides, and Furse had informed former Chief District Attorney Andrew Hughes and Deputy DA Emily Vandenberg that they would not be retained. Hughes, who flirted with the idea of challenging Furse in the general election, later dropped that bid and resigned to take a job overseas.
Furse said the attorneys he selected boast a wide range of experience from both sides of the courtroom, defense and prosecutorial, along with backgrounds in civil and criminal work.
"All are competent and dynamic trial attorneys with a passion for their work," Furse said. "All (the) attorneys possess the skills to handle both felony and misdemeanor cases although their docket assignments will inherently focus on one or the other."
Adam Barnhurst
Adam Barnhurst, 32, holds a bachelor of science degree in statistics with a business minor from Brigham Young University and a law degree from the University of Denver. A holdover from Wasley's staff, Barnhurst has been working for the 22nd Judicial District since February 2009.
For his first 18 months on the job, Barnhurst prosecuted misdemeanor cases in Montezuma County. His last two-and-a-half years have been spent prosecuting felony cases in Montezuma County and all the district attorney's cases in Dolores County.
Barnhurst said there are numerous reasons why he chose to become a prosecutor, but added that he was always interested in criminal law. The sluggish economy turned out to be a blessing for him as it forced him into a job he loves.
While in law school he thought working as a prosecutor was not a realistic choice because he had a family to support, and the lower wage for prosecutors, compared to other kinds of legal work, was not appealing.
"A down economy closed the door on other opportunities I had planned on, though, and made prosecution an option, and I have loved every minute of it and wouldn't choose to do anything else," he said.
Debra Eurich, 52, graduated from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2004 and has been practicing as a criminal prosecutor since December 2004 in Washington state.
Eurich has prosecuted close to 100 criminal jury trials, mostly misdemeanors involving driving under the influence and domestic violence.
She also has prosecuted felony drug charges, rape cases, bomb threats and robberies.
"I specialized in animal cruelty prosecutions and wrote an animal cruelty bill that was passed in 2009," Eurich said in an email. "I was a founding member of the Mental Health Court and DUI court, and was the drug court prosecutor for 18 months."
Eurich said being a prosecutor is her second career.
"I went back to school after putting my daughter through college," she said. "I have always loved the law and specifically chose criminal prosecution so that I could serve my community and ensure that justice is done. Through the treatment courts I am able to help others."
Lynda Carter, 50, completed her undergraduate work at the University of Wyoming in 2004, graduating with honors. She graduated from Florida State University College of Law in 2008.
After the completion of law school, Carter moved to Pagosa Springs to open a law practice and focused on general practice so she could experience civil and criminal work, and also took on a few family law cases.
Carter felt she needed something more, so she applied and won a scholarship to Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College in Wyoming. She attended the initial course and returned for a graduate course and a death penalty seminar.
Prior to Carter's law career she was involved in both law enforcement and corrections in Florida. After being injured on the job, she chose to attend law school so she could continue helping the public and her community.
Carter said she made that choice after a long conversation with Spence while living in Jackson Hole, Wyo. She was a student at the University of Wyoming and met him at a book signing. He lived about three miles from her. After being injured, she realized she could do more good with an education.
"No matter how good your ideas are, if you do not have the diploma to back it up, very few people listen to you," she said.
She chose Pagosa Springs and Southwest Colorado as the places where to work because of the dearth of attorneys in the area.
"I opened my own practice, and through cases I worked, I happened to meet several attorneys who were likeminded in public service and wanting to see things more fair in the system," she said. "I believe Will Furse to be this type of attorney. I never thought I would work for anyone but myself, but to have a chance to promote a safe community while balancing the rights of all, and doing it where you can affect more than one person at a time is a great opportunity."
Carter hopes to bring her background as a law enforcement officer and supervisor as well as her education and experience as an attorney to the DA's office.
"I think with a well-rounded past, I can use common sense, reason, and the law to be the type of prosecutor that can help bring justice here while respecting everyone that comes into contact with the system," she said.
Tom Farrell, 63, is no stranger to Montezuma County, having worked under Wasley and the late Jim Wilson, a former 22nd Judicial District Attorney.
Farrell first came to the local office at the request of Wilson, who asked the attorney to prosecute some sexual assault cases while Wilson was busy with murder trials. He came back to the county last year after Hughes resigned to take a job overseas. Farrell was selected to fill the position through the last four months of Wasley's term.
A well-rounded attorney with a wealth of experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, Farrell served nearly 11 years as a public defender on the municipal level, 12 years as a prosecutor and another 11 years as a private defense attorney. He also taught criminal justice courses for the University of Phoenix in Westminster, Colo.
After graduating from Delaware Law School in 1982, Farrell was hired by the Adams County District Attorney's Office where he worked from 1984 to 1990. He prosecuted major felonies, including his forte, charges of child sexual abuse.
Farrell has served under three different district attorneys in his career as a prosecutor and once ran unsuccessfully for the top spot in Sterling, Colo.
Before his law career, Farrell worked at a recreation center in Nassau County, N.Y., and for a holding cell detention center for violent offenders between the ages of 13 and 17 in Long Island.
Farrell originally did not envision continuing as a Montezuma County prosecutor after finishing up his latest four-month stint, though he would have had only two classes to teach in the upcoming spring semester. He said his mind changed when Furse offered him one of the deputy DA positions based on the relationships he had made with the police agencies.
"This was definitely the better choice," he said.
Farrell, using Wilson's words, said "being a prosecutor is the easiest job in the world if you do the right thing."

Designer - Alessandra Designs
My name is Alessandra. I'm a lawyer by profession, but a designer by heart. I am 39 years old and I was born in Brazil and lived here all my life. I have been designing for the past 4 years and loved every single minute of it. I enjoy the creative process and I love the coziness and quiet times I spend creating my kits. I feel inspired by everything around me and as the time goes by I am developing my style which is very personal. I like variety so I try not to dwell for a long time in the same line of work. I feel blessed for being able to work from home, and seeing my kits used for so many people is always precious. I hope you enjoy my kits as much as I enjoy creating them.
Have fun!

As elected officials in Washington weigh the costs and benefits of immigration reform, including its costs to taxpayers, Matthew Rogers brought a different perspective to the debate Tuesday.
As elected officials in Washington weigh the costs and benefits of immigration reform, including its costs to taxpayers, Matthew Rogers brought a different perspective to the debate Tuesday.
Rogers, the owner of Three Chopt Sandwich Shoppe on Third Avenue East in Hendersonville, told about 25 members of the Democratic Women of Henderson County that it took him and his Mexican-born wife, Rosalina Jarillo, nearly a year, multiple trips to Charlotte and more than $4,000 to get her a green card.
Last week, the Heritage Foundation released a study showing immigration reform would cost American taxpayers about $6.3 trillion over five decades. The conservative think tank, headed by former South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, says those costs come from allowing immigrants to benefit from social programs and public schools.
Rogers told his audience the Heritage Foundation is "way off base," because its study didn't account for the expense of getting a green card or the contributions immigrants make to the American economy, including paying taxes and fees.
"When they talk about immigration reform, they need to talk about it in a fair way, a just way and an approachable way, so that we can welcome new citizens," he said. "Because they're going to buy, they're going to develop and they're going to open new businesses. The Heritage Foundation is really wrong about the costs."
Rogers met "Rosy," as he calls his wife, while the two were on a cruise between Argentina and Chile in 2007. They married 10 months later, but Jarillo still had a daughter in college in Mexico City and had to go back every six months to sign a pension form. While traveling back and forth, she said, immigration officials stopped her in the Charlotte airport.
"They told me, 'This is a warning. You have been here three times in a year. It is necessary that you go through the process (of getting a green card)," Jarillo said. Wanting to abide by the law, Rogers and Jarillo petitioned for permanent resident status with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
They mailed off a thick packet as instructed, containing copies of Jarillo's certificate from an earlier marriage, notarized divorce papers, her Mexican passport, witnesses to her divorce, her American driver's license and her U.S. marriage license. They got back a rejection notice, telling them their documentation was insufficient.
"So I got on the phone, never worried," said Rogers. "If you love somebody, you'll go through this process. This is why immigration is so important to so many people who are trying to get loved ones here without fear. This was just a small block in our way."
Yet there were more hurdles: they mailed in $1,000 for a fingerprint test in Charlotte, then spent a panicky morning trying to find the nondescript Homeland Security office where they were summoned by noon, "or you have to start the process over and your money is no good," Rogers said.
That was followed by another $1,000 medical test only a handful of doctors in North Carolina are certified to do, and then last January, an interview with a Homeland Security agent in Charlotte.
"They said, 'Bring things that prove to us that you love your wife,'" Rogers said. "We had a folder like this of pictures and photos of our wedding invitations... It was pictures that do it, because when you go on honeymoons and show them wedding shots, they could tell from all the stuff we brought that she didn't marry me to get her green card and disappear."
Roughly a year after initiating the process, Jarillo got her green card. But she has to reapply in 10 years, jumping through many of the same hoops and paying many of the same fees again. Rogers said he doesn't question the law, only those who would deny that many immigrants aren't paying their fair share for the right to live and work in the United States.
"The great thing is that you can understand a little more that it's not a free ride," he said. "It's never been a free ride. If you come here, you have to abide by fees and regulations. And most of them are reasonable; in fact, I'd say all of them are. We could do it; we had cars, we had money.
"For somebody else, it's going to be tough and I can only speculate that for someone who works really, really hard, it's really tough to come up with $4,000 to get this status."

I gave Kali a layout lesson yesterday. Here's just the first drawing I did. It came from this rough below. The first thing I did was block everything out real roughly to make sure I had the line of action and big negative spaces between the main parts of the action- between his body foot and dresser.
Like everyone does, I toned it down a bit, but now that it's all constructed I could easily go back and push the foot and eyes a little more like the rough.The Focus of the pose: THE FOOT PUSHING THE DRAWER IN.
The whole pose is made to highlight this action.
His body leans back. I used a line of action to do that.
Second in importance to the physical action in the drawing, is his reaction to it. His feeling. His personality. That takes place mostly in the face.
The eyes.
The nose
The mouth
Some people tend to push all the features together where they get cramped and hard to read.
I made sure the rest of his head and face were in solid construction and perspective, and then gave the eyes cartoon license. I overlapped the farther away eye over the close eye. This exaggerates the impression that the eyes are looking back at us, opposite to his body pose which is facing the dresser.
If I broke the rules all over the drawing and made nothing logical, you wouldn't be drawn to the eyes because nothing would make sense.
For organic pseudo-realism, I made the fingers converge towards each other at bottom, rather than be parallel sausages.
The other hand is just hanging back and those fingers "splay". They aim very slightly apart, also for organicness.
I put weight on the foot on the ground by bending the knee and having the lower part of the leg overlap the top of the foot.
Also, the top of the foot bulges upwards in the middle, while the bottom part is being squashed flat against the ground.
I kept the toenails compressed together so as not to compete for attention with the other foot that is closing the drawer.
Note the shape created by the space between his foot and arm (in red). It's diagonal, which helps draw attention to the fact that the foot is pushing forward of the body. If the hand had been posed right on top of the foot, it would have eaten away at the focus of the whole pose.
All this is logic and control and is what separates functional drawings from elaborate fancy ass sketchbook doodles.
In order to get functional, you have to do lots and lots of thoughtful planned drawings (as opposed to random doodling in your sketchbooks). Not just one every couple weeks. It's not enough to think you understand the concepts. You have to apply them to make them sink in and eventually become second nature.
Later, I will show you Kali's first try at doing a layout from the scene, my corrections and comments and then her 2nd try where she fixes everything and makes the pose stronger.
Hey, I have a question. How many people who read the blog are here for the drawing tips?

What's the best way to bake these if you don't have a doughnut pan?ReplyDeleteReplies
I have heard from several people that they have had success trying these in a regular size muffin tin. As I haven't tried this myself I can't say for sure, but if you would like to try my best recommendation would be to check every five minutes or so until a cake tester comes out clean. Be sure to let me know if you do! :)Delete

Can you give a measurement for the 10 strawberries or an approximate size of each berry? We just went and picked fresh ones and they vary in size from a dime all the way up to a golf ball.ReplyDeleteReplies
I would make a guesstimate that my strawberries were around 3/4 cup given the varying size of them. I would assume there can be a little give and take with that, as the important part of the recipe is that when you add the wet mixture to the dry, you want the batter to be wet but not runny. The next time I have a go around with the recipe I can try and pinpoint a more exact measurement if you'd prefer, but I have a feeling it will shift slightly every time. The key is to make the batter wet but not runny. I hope this helps!Delete

I just came across your recipe on pinterst and it looks delicious! I want to make these for Father's day breakfast tomorrow as my dad loves strawberries. Unfortunately I don't have a doughnut pan... Would this recipe make 12 standard size muffins? (if I adjust the baking time/temperature, of course.)ReplyDeleteReplies
I have heard from several people that they have had success trying these in a regular size muffin tin. As I haven't tried this myself I can't say for sure, but if you would like to try my best recommendation would be to check every five minutes or so until a cake tester comes out clean. Be sure to let me know if you do! :)Delete
Mine weren't nearly as pink, but tasted awesome! I used 1/2 cup strawberry mixture, I was afraid to make them too runny.ReplyDeleteReplies
Mine shift in pink-ness every time I make them (as strawberries don't come in one consistent shade of red). If pink-ness is important to you you could always consider adding a drop or so of red food dye to the mix! Im so glad you liked them. And better to err on the side of not runny, because once they cross that line it's hard to come back!Delete
These look soooo good! Any tips for making them without a doughnut pan? :SReplyDeleteReplies

i tried making these...I followed step by step.. and they did not come out right:( is there a secret?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hmm since I wasn't with you when you made them, it's hard to know if i can give an exact secret to know what went wrong. My best advice I can give is to keep trying and don't let kitchen fails deter you in any way, i certainly still have my fair share. I hope you come back soon anyway!Delete

I am so looking forward to making these tonight! I have a question though, they only had a mini donut pan at Williams Sonoma so I purchased that. Will that change the cooking time or anything at all?ReplyDeleteReplies
The amount of ingredients for the recipe should definitely still work, however I'm not sure how many mini donuts it will yield. As for the cooking time, I would say start checking possibly after 3 minutes or so and then onward until the donuts spring back when touched. I've never used a mini one before though so check to see if on the pan it comes with a standard recipe that hints to a cooking time. Good luck and feel free to let me know how it goes! :)Delete
When I made it just now, 3 dozen mini donuts and 5 minutes cooking was perfect.Delete

Those were the best I've ever made. Though I substituted maple syrup for honey and used peaches instead of strawberries. Will be trying mango version today!ReplyDelete

I tried making this recipe and could not get the glaze to stick to the donuts. =/ReplyDeleteReplies
If you attempt them again perhaps try adding a little more powdered sugar to your glaze to make it thicker, or perhaps after the first dip in the glaze, allow it to set and then dip again. I'm always a fan of multiple dips. I hope this helps! Come back soon.Delete

These were amazing and so easy. My 3 year old loved them!ReplyDelete
just have to say that these are "okay". They didn't turn out as nearly as good as they look in the picture. kind of plain, and can't really even taste the strawberry. I used 12 strawberries in the puree. disappointed....but lovely picture.ReplyDelete
- Jenny DJuly 1, 2012 at 9:35 AM
My doughnuts did not turn out as pink and pretty as yours, but they were still good! Plus I used white whole wheat flour which may have something to do with it;) My daughters loved them! I had some puree left over so I added that to the icing hoping to get a more pink color, my 2 yr old adores anything pink. I think it helped add some more strawberry flavor. I will definitely be making these again!ReplyDeleteReplies

Ugh! Jenny D! I wish i had read that before i just gobbled up my extra puree!! NUTS!Delete
what a great idea about the strawberry puree jenny! although i don't think i'd mind eating with a spoon too :) thanks so much for stopping by and I'm so glad you enjoyed them! come back soon :)Delete
Loved the recipe and it inspired me to make a variation: whole wheat blue berry mango donuts with mango cream cheese frosting. Thank you for your inspirationReplyDelete
Mine also didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I am ok with that, but you couldn't really taste the strawberry. At all. Any suggestions on that?ReplyDeleteReplies
hmm if you seem to be having problems with the strawberry flavor coming through, perhaps adding a bit of the leftover puree to your icing? some people have mentioned in comments above they found that wonderful however I have not yet tried it myself. thanks so much for taking the time to comment and come back soon :)Delete
Mine came out kinda flat, so I guess I maybe got them too runny, but they tasted good anyway! Thanks for the base recipe, can't wait to try some other flavors too!ReplyDelete
I just found this on pinterest and these look amazing! Cant wait to try!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 25, 2012 at 1:12 PM
I really liked the flavor of mine, however I preferred them without the glaze because you could taste the fruitiness more without the addition of the very sweet glaze. The texture was very muffin-like. This was my first attempt at baked doughnuts so maybe they all turn out this way, but I was surprised with the texture. Still very yummy!ReplyDelete
I just made this delicious little treats! I used my remaining strawberry puree instead of the milk in the glaze...OH MY! Not lacking in any strawberry flavor that way! DELISH! Thanks for the great recipe!ReplyDelete
Wow this looks delicious! I like that they're baked and not fried. Now I want to try them, I'll have to hunt for a doughnut pan.ReplyDeleteReplies
they can be found in most well stocked baking stores (and maybe even some craft stores) if not definitely online! thanks so much for stopping by and come back soon :)Delete
- AnonymousSeptember 5, 2012 at 7:17 PM
I found mine at Wal Mart. Ross also has them sometimes if you have one of those stores nearby.Delete
I made these today, they didn't turn out like your picture looks (your picture looks fabulous)... I'm sure it was the way I mixed it up because mine ended up really flat once I took them out of the pan. BUT they taste fabulous. I was only able to get 12 donuts out of the recipe tho... not sure if that's normal.ReplyDelete
Since it only made 12, I adjusted the glaze quite a bit. Used 1 c powdered sugar, 3 T milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla (I love vanilla) and just a sprinkle of salt.
For those of you on Weight Watchers... my recipe (with the glaze) ended up being 3 pts per donut (keep in mind much of the glaze dripped off and I didn't even use all of what I made to begin with... so i adjusted for that).
Anyway - thanks for a fabulous recipe. I will be digging through your blog to find more. I've started my own blog for those that want to follow my (second) journey of weight loss. http://healthfullyeverafter1.blogspot.com/
Found this via Pinterest; Just made them this afternoon. Mine definitely did not turn out as "pink" as yours, so I think I'll add more puree, less milk next time. I'm thinking that would also help with a more strawberry'y flavor. Very fun recipe.ReplyDeleteReplies
i'm glad you got to try them tasha! you could always add a drop or two of red food coloring if very pink-ness was something that was very important to you, but more puree would also add to this as well. thank you and stop by again anytime :)Delete

Finally found a donut silicone pan and tried this recipe. My husband thought they were good but not sweet enough...Any suggestions to making them sweeter?? Does it make a difference of using frozen vs. fresh strawberries?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hmm it is possible that you could add a bit more sugar without the texture being compromised but this is something you would have to play around with and see. Also I'd never say no to a second dip in glaze for more sweetness. In my experience frozen strawberries retain more water than fresh so just account for that if you thaw them or puree them frozen. Thanks so much for stopping by!Delete

I had the same problem making these, it appears, as some others. They weren't very pink & didn't have much strawberry flavor at all, but I followed the directions exactly as it said. Your pic looked so yummy so my expectations were high for this recipe... I was bummed when they didn't turn out the same. Suggestions?ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm really sorry these didn't turn out as you expected. I found pink-ness varied from batch to batch (as does color in nature) so if you weren't opposed to artificial coloring a drop or two (or your desired amount) of red food dye would ensure a pink batch of your liking every time. For extra strawberry flavor you could always consider adding some extra puree into the glaze as some suggested they had enjoyed. Hope this helps and thanks so much for stopping by!Delete
- AnonymousSeptember 22, 2012 at 5:02 PM
These did not work out for me very well either. The donuts themselves were flat and soggy (perhaps the batter was too thin) and they didn't have much flavor. I am not opposed to trying them again. I like the idea of adding some of the strawberry puree to the glaze instead of milk.ReplyDeleteReplies
If this seemed to be your problem and you'd like to try again I recommend erring on the side of a dryer batter, adding puree until it is just moistened enough to see no streaks of flour. Also many have mentioned the addition of strawberry puree to the glaze for even more strawberry flavor. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for stopping by!Delete

Any suggestions for a replacement on the strawberries? My husband LOVES desserts with strawberry, but hates the seeds.ReplyDelete
MY OH MY!!! Just finished baking these up. My first baked doughnuts ever and let me say I impressed myself :) I got a doughnut pan from goodwill $2 and my batter made 6 there was enough left over batter for 2 more doughnuts. I added about 1/2 C more of flour due to it looking a little runny after adding the strawberry mix! I saved a little of the strawberry mix for my glaze which was so delish! It wasn't flat one bit and looked like a bakery donut. I decided to be "naughty" and added the glaze once I placed the doughnuts on the cooling rack. I will for sure be making these again! Could you please tell me if they will be ok for a day in room temperature or should I refrigerated it? It might not last a day lol, but just in case.ReplyDelete

I made these for my Valentine's Day post. They turned out wonderful. My husband loved them. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Made these as part of our weekly 'breakfast for dinner' meal and they were a huge hit with my husband and two sons. My toddlers thought I was the coolest mom ever for making doughnuts for dinner. My batter didn't have as much of a pinkish hue as I was hoping for so I just added a couple drops of red food coloring. Turned out great, thanks for the recipe!!ReplyDelete
These look so delicious! I have a babycakes donut maker.....has anyone tried cooking them in there??ReplyDeleteReplies

Would you advise against using almond milk in place of the regular milk? I'm making these tomorrow so any quick help you could give would be great. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Personally, I think almond milk would work fine as a substitute, although I've never tried it and can't say with 100% certainty. Just keep in mind that almond milk has a different taste than regular milk and therefore the finished product may have a slightly altered taste as well. I'm of the camp though that it can't hurt to try. Feel free to report back how it goes if you do! Thanks so much for stopping by. :)Delete
So gorgeous! Such a lovely color. The glaze works wonderfully, but I've yet to try the strawberry doughnuts. Can't wait!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much! If the pink color is super important to you I would suggest a few drops of food coloring as the degree of pinkness in fresh strawberries varies. I checked out Tried and Twisted. Awesome stuff! The bird's nest necklace - I died! Want one so so much. Thanks so much for stopping by. I'll be sure to check back with Tried and Twisted!Delete

I made these strawberry donuts a couple days ago and was disappointed that they didn't turn out like the photo. I didn't like the texture of the donuts, too doughy and not the strawberry flavor I expected. If I made thes again I would cut the amount of milk and add a few more strawberries that are puréed. Also, the glaze recipe makes too much icing, I would cut the recipe in half. JoyceDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 17, 2013 at 3:33 PM
I made these as a Valentine's Day treat and was disappointed in the texture. Recipe made 12 donuts and I bought a donut pan at Bed,bath & Beyond. I read in the blog that someone added 1/2 more flour and that might work! Mine were doughy and not like the picture of them. I like the idea of not adding all the purée mixture and saving and adding it the icing. Icing recipe makes too much, could cut that in 1/2 recipe. I'd like to hear of others who made recipe, I read a few who had the same difficult as I did. JoyceDelete

This recipe was a disappointment as it didn't turn out like the photo and lacked strawberry flavor. The donut was doughy and not at all like the cake donuts you buy at a bakery. Also, there was too much icy and you could cut the recipe in half for the icy. I would cut back on the milk and add more strawberry purée if I was to make again! JoyceReplyDelete

Little mishap with my execution, but this recipe was awesome! http://www.thedailypin.net/2013/03/baked-strawberry-donuts.htmlReplyDelete
I tried them today and they are delicious! I glazed some with chocolate :))ReplyDelete
Absolutely delicious!! The only thing is that mine seemed a little too moist when sitting in the fridge for even a day. They ended up feeling a bit wet, as did the glaze. Any suggestions or thoughts on why this could've happened?ReplyDeleteReplies
I've always kept mine at room temperature, it's possible that refrigeration somehow did this, as to why I'm not quite sure. If you enjoyed I would suggest keeping at room temperature until serving or possibly waiting to glaze until ready to serve. As for leftovers, I would attempt to leave them covered at room temperature. Hope this helps. Feel free to report back! Thanks so much for stopping by, come back anytime!Delete
These look like something my kids would LOVE! Thanks for sharing and I hope your trip was fabulous! :)ReplyDelete

Made these today and they were good! I didn't have a donut pan and used a mini/micro bundt pan I had. I had leftover strawberry puree and just made the glaze out of that.

Melges Asia Pacific
In October 2006, Northshore Yachting, trading as Melges Asia Pacific signed an exclusive license agreement with Melges Performance Sailboats to build and distribute the Melges 24 — the world's premiere high-performance, one design sportboat throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific market. Northshore Yachting also serves as a sales and distribution center for the Melges 32.
Designed by Reichel Pugh Yacht Design, the Melges 24 is among the most popular racing yachts in the world, as is the Melges 32. Making Melges boats more accessible to the Asia Pacific sailor has been a long-held desire of Harry Melges, CEO of Melges Performance Sailboats.
"In choosing our Asia Pacific partner, we wanted to work with a company that not only shared our commitment to quality and craftsmanship, but also shared our passion for sailing and developing strong fleets — locally and internationally," Melges says. "Quite clearly, we have found such a partner with the team at Northshore."
Regardless of boat, Melges Asia Pacific aims to ensure the highest level of customer service and support. The combination of a knowledgeable and experienced boat building staff from one of Australia's largest-producing boat builders and Melges' phenomenal line of sportboat products means they are able to provide the total Melges Ownership Experience — down under and throughout Asia direct from West Gosford.
Heath Walters, managing director of Northshore Yachting, a company best known for building the Northshore range of yachts, believes that one of the key attractions of the Melges 24 and Melges 32 classes are their international appeal.
"The Asia Pacific sailing scene has always been keen on sportboats, but no single design has been able to gain class size beyond their own countries," says Walters. "The Melges 24 is a class that has established a strong presence within the United States and Europe, which in turn will allow sailors within our local market to enjoy such a boat, simultaneously racing them on the international circuit. The same is true for the Melges 32."

This new venture will allow us to serve our readers and advertisers better
This is the definition of bittersweet.
I have very mixed emotions about this edition of the Augusta Gazette. Part of me worries about leaving a newspaper brand that has served this city so well for more than 100 years.
I have been proud to be a part of the last six years of that service as we wrote Augusta history one day at a time.
But the world is changing. Thanks to the internet and social media, I have been able to watch my best friend's children grow up in both Singapore and Tulsa, OK.
The world is smaller and Butler County, Kan. is smaller too.
Just about 30 months ago, GateHouse Media allowed us to create a weekly newspaper in Andover to accompany those we already had in Augusta and El Dorado. Through these three newspapers, we have been able to cover Butler County residents as well as ever before.
But with three small newspapers come many challenges. Printing three smaller runs is much more expensive than printing one larger run. On print days, we had three editors all doing the exact same job in three locations. It was inefficient but we continued to do it as well as we could in order to serve our readers.
But when the idea of producing one newspaper for all of Butler County was first proposed, we began to see how much more we could accomplish with the same staff we already have.
That prospect is exciting.
All of our best products, Think Pink, Game Night, Readers Choice and others were already combined efforts between the three staffs.
We think each day's news product will also benefit from that combined effort.
Not only will we have the same editors and reporters on the job, but we are adding to our list of contributors who will help us cover stories in towns like Douglass, Rose Hill and Towanda that we couldn't do before.
The Butler County Times-Gazette will be a newspaper for all Butler County residents.
But even as we look to expand coverage across the entire county, we are keenly aware of the need to preserve the local identities of each town we serve. Headlines will all be labeled to identify which town is covered in the story below. Some calendars of events will be separated by town and all public records will be listed by the city where the activity occurred.
Looking back on what these newspapers have meant to the individual cities they served is nice. But I am equally excited about how much bigger and better the new product will be.
Ads will have more than twice the reach to help businesses thrive. Garage sale ads will cover the entire county. Help wanted ads will reach twice as many potential new hires.
In so many ways, this new venture will allow us to serve our readers and advertisers better. After a great deal of study, focus groups and research, The Butler County Times-Gazette became the obvious option that allows our newspapers to thrive in the future.
Thank you for your constant support of the Gazette. I hope you truly enjoy the new Butler County Times-Gazette when it comes to your porch for the first time Tuesday afternoon.
Kent Bush is the publisher of the Butler County Times-Gazette. He can be contacted at: firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com

Hayden Kaae is ready to make some noise at the CIF State Wrestling Championships in Bakersfield starting on Friday.
The Etna High junior took first place at the Northern Section Master's Championship wrestling tournament this past Saturday in Redding, Calif., at 195 pounds to earn a state berth.
He is only the second Etna wrestler to have earned a state berth and the first to win a Northern Section title. In the title match against Aaron Bates of Chico on Saturday, Kaae won by pin in the second period.
"This has definitely been my goal this season," Kaae said about making it to state. "I'm excited."
After not making sections as a freshman, Hayden took fifth place last season to place. The top three finishers in each weight division move on to state.
For the majority of the season, Hayden has been the top ranked Northern Section wrestler at 195 and is currently 29-10 this season.
Despite being sick with flu like symptoms at sections, Hayden put aside how he felt, focused at the task at hand, and came away with the first place finish. On Tuesday, Kaae said he was still not 100 percent but said he should be good to go by the time Friday comes along.
Hayden's first match at state is against Josh Bailey of Frontier, who is currently ranked No. 9 at 195, while Kaae is an honorable mention selection. Although an underdog, his coaches said they have watched film on Bailey and believe that Kaae matches up well against him and can certainly pull off the upset and start the tournament off on the right foot.
"I'm just going to go for it," Kaae said."I've got nothing to lose." He said that his goal is to certainly make it to the second day of the competition on Saturday and go from there.
Kaae said that he worked hard before the start of the season to get himself to where he needed to be to earn a state berth. This included wrestling in the offseason, weightlifting, and taking part in numerous wrestling camps and tournaments to prepare.
Hayden began wrestling when he was in fourth grade and quickly developed a passion for the sport. He has had a lot of guidance and encouragement from his father, Kyle Kaae, who is a co-coach in wrestling at Etna High alongside head coach Scott Forrester.
Kyle Kaae said that it is a balance being both Hayden's coach and dad. As a father, he said he could not be more proud and elated with his son earning a berth in state, which is extremely hard to achieve. After all, wrestling does not separate by division like other sports and all divisions compete against each other in the section and state level. Considering Etna is a small school of around 200 students, what Hayden has achieved is quite the accomplishment, his father said. As a coach, he said, he looks at it differently and is, "always looking for improvement." That's why he said he works closely with Forrester to work with Hayden and push and guide him to help achieve his maximum potential.
Forrester said what impresses him so much about Hayden is his dedication and his understanding that it takes hard work to achieve something like earning a state berth.
"He's focused and pushes himself," Forrester said. He said that Hayden understands that to be great in a sport it takes more than athletic ability to perform at a high level and that he needs to put in the needed work year-round.
Both Forrester and Kyle Kaae believe that while an underdog heading into state, Hayden has the ability to surprise and perform well. They believe that if Hayden wrestles to his ability he can come away with the opening round win, which should give him positive momentum the rest of the way.
Hayden Kaae said that his future goals are to again return to state next year and place, as well as hopefully wrestle in college.

When Anthony Raguso left big-city life behind to become administrator of Thompson Hospital in Canandaigua in 1969, he found the rural lifestyle he was seeking, although the responsibilities of his new job were clearly as challenging as any big hospital. Beginning his tenure when Thompson was on North Main Street, Mr. Raguso during his nearly two decades with Thompson oversaw not only the move to Parrish Street, but the dramatic expansion in buildings and services that followed.
�He was a joy to work for,� said Linda Farchione Hawks, Thompson�s former president and chief executive officer, whom Mr. Raguso hired as his assistant before his retirement in 1986. Describing Mr. Raguso as upbeat and a gifted leader, Farchione Hawks said he was dedicated to Thompson and the community.
�He made the new hospital happen, and he was so proud of that,� she said.
Mr. Raguso ��known as a loving family man who enjoyed music (especially jazz), playing harmonica, camping, carpentry, and most of all, spending time with his family ��died Feb. 2. He was 89.
�He was a kind and loving father, always concerned for other people,� said Mr. Raguso�s daughter Rebecca Raguso Snyder.
Mr. Raguso�s daughter Joanne Raguso said her father gave her �the greatest gift � the gift of family.�
Their father was dedicated not only to his immediate family, but to his�extended family as well, the daughters said. �He would always go to the aid of his siblings,� said Rebecca. Whether it was help buying a car or doing a household project or repair, their dad was the person their family could always count on, the daughters�said.
�As everyone who knew him knows, he took great pleasure talking with people, joking, telling stories and generally socializing at every opportunity,� said Mr. Raguso�s son, Bartley Raguso. �He felt everyone had something of value to share, and he was always eager to listen.�
Born on July 4, 1924, in New Castle, Pa., Mr. Raguso�s ambition and compassion led him to serve in World War II in a field hospital MASH unit, finish high school after the war and get a college degree. On May 16, 1948 he married Josephine, who remained his sweetheart for 66 years. After earning a graduate degree in social work from University of Pittsburgh, he took the position of medical social worker at Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he rose to senior administrator before he and his family moved to Canandaigua.
At Thompson, under Mr. Raguso�s leadership, the hospital saw the addition and expansion of a nursing home; a physicians office building; a pediatric wing; a medical-surgical floor; and additional acute-care beds. Medical specialities also came on the scene in a range of areas, including emergency medicine, orthopedics, gastroenterology and cardiology
�He was supportive, easy to work with and dedicated to Thompson Hospital and making its nursing home the best,� said Dick Appel, who was Thompson�s director of development before Mr. Raguso retired. �He was pleasant, a good listener and very supportive as we plotted new ground.�
Mickey Sands, whose husband, the late Marvin Sands, was president of the hospital�s Board of Directors during Mr. Raguso�s tenure, said, �Marvin thought the world of Tony and had the greatest respect for him.�
In citing Mr. Raguso�s accomplishments for a Thompson newsletter when Mr. Raguso retired, Mr. Sands said that in �his uniquely modest manner, Tony has been a most industrious leader. The many changes and improvements that have taken place at Thompson Hospital dating from the old hospital on Main Street 17 years ago have been monumental. Although many other people can proudly share credit for much of this progress, the major portion deservedly should be attributed to Tony �.�

The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money that's in it -- not for the love of it, the excitement ... the glorious thrill of it all ...As I'm sure you know, this "Back in my day ..." attitude is a huge pet peeve of mine and I --
Rice didn't say those words?
It was who --?
Ty Cobb?
In 1925?
We didn't [have] the baggy uniforms; we didn't have the dreadlocks; that's not part of the game. It was a clean game, and now they are setting a bad example for the young guys. ... What you see right now is more individuals; it's not a team. Now you have guys coming in. They pick the days they want to play. They make big money. The first thing they see are dollar bills.Rice isn't worth this work, but here goes:
1. "baggy uniforms" - Throughout most of baseball history, players wore baggy uniforms. Pictures exist of this. However, baseball also often follows American styles and in the Rice era, players wore tight pants. Rice's generation is the anomaly, not the rule.
2. "dreadlocks" - Statistical studies have shown that your choice of hair style do not make you hit or pitch better (or worse) than another person with "normal" hair. And check out some of the Afros from Rice's day, like Oscar Gamble's. Plus, the Afro was a political statement first associated with the Black Power Movement.
3. "a clean game" - Rice debuted with the Red Sox only five years after Sports Illustrated published a series of investigative stories showing that illegal drug use had infested every sport, including baseball. Players from that era now freely admit they popped amphetamines (now banned) like Skittles. And towards the end of Rice's career, baseball endured a huge cocaine scandal.
4. "more individuals ... not a team" - Weren't the Red Sox of Rice's day known by the "25 players, 25 cabs" adage?
5. "They pick the days they want to play" - Give me one example, Jim.
6. "dollar bills" - Rice's career began right around the time of free agency, a seismic shift in baseball history that allowed players (after a certain time) to offer their talents to the highest bidder or any team they wished to play for. Players were no longer chattel. Uploading all of the quotes from pre-free agency players complaining about the out-of-control salaries of Rice's era (and the big bucks that they missed out on) would likely break the internet.
Finally, Rice -- clueless to all of the words he had just spoken -- advised the young Little Leaguers:
[T]he first thing you need to have right now is respect.So the player who once tried to start a fist fight in the dugout with his manager and who, ignorant of history, craps all over modern players is talking about "respect".

It must be an election year, because the culture war is in full fury over a fast-food chicken franchise.
Recently, the president of the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain, Dan Cathy, expressed some opinions regarding same-sex marriage, saying he endorses the �biblical definition of the family unit� and that �I think we are inviting God�s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, �We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.�� News that the Cathy family has given millions of dollars to organizations fighting the gay rights agenda have added more fuel to the fire.
Cathy has since backed off, saying his company would �leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the ... political arena,� but not before he�d unleashed a torrent of criticism and praise alike. If big-city liberal mayors such as Boston�s Thomas Menino and Chicago�s Rahm Emanuel signaled that Chick-fil-A would not be welcome in their cities - �Chick-fil-A�s values are not Chicago values,� said the latter - conservatives such as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum rushed to Cathy�s defense. A Chicago alderman said he would try to legally block the opening of a Chick-fil-A in his ward. The Jim Henson Co., creator of the Muppets, said it would sever its relationship with Chick-fil-A.
The reactions prove a few things: One, that many liberals can be just as intolerant of differences of opinion as the conservatives they deride for same; two, that a fair number of conservatives confuse freedom of speech with freedom from the consequences of it; and three, that far too many Americans, including those in decision-making positions, seem not to know or appreciate what nation they live in.
On the one hand, you don�t have to agree with Cathy - and this page doesn�t, choosing to believe the Constitution means what it says about equal protection under the law - to argue that he�s as entitled to his beliefs as anybody in this country. If Chick-fil-A were to discriminate in its employment practices, or refuse to serve certain customers, that would be another matter, but there is no evidence of that.
On the other hand, no one is obligated to spend their money where they don�t want to, for whatever reason. Those who disagree with the Chick-fil-A owner�s stance are well within their constitutional rights to condemn it, or to picket the place, or to take their business to Kentucky Fried Chicken or wherever if they choose, just as those who strongly objected to J.C. Penney�s hiring of Ellen DeGeneres as a spokeswoman because she�s a lesbian were free to boycott that retailer.
Where the pandering politicians are concerned, however, there is emphatically no gray area. If Chick-fil-A meets zoning, public health and other municipal regulations, the restaurant should be able to open its doors in Boston, Chicago, wherever. If customers voting with their dollars in a free market give a business the boot, that�s one thing, but if a government puts up barriers to someone opening shop because an elected official doesn�t like what that business owner believes or says, well, that clearly runs counter to everything this nation stands for and is an unconstitutional infringement on the First Amendment�s guarantees to freedom of speech, and in this case religion.
Imagine the shoe on the other foot, with a small-town conservative mayor refusing to let an entrepreneur open a hot dog stand because of his position on gun control, or �Obamacare,� or because he doesn�t go to church every Sunday. That�s wrong. If you can�t speak your mind without fear of government reprisal, this is no longer America, and a former White House chief of staff such as Emanuel should know that. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is again correct, it�s �just not government�s job� to �look at somebody�s political views and decide whether ... they can live in the city, or operate a business in the city, or work for somebody in the city.� You don�t like what you hear, you challenge it in the marketplace of ideas, you don�t get government to suppress it. One might argue as well that it does the gay rights cause no favors if progress comes at the expense of free speech and individual choice.
Interestingly, the one organization that is being consistent and true to its mission here is the American Civil Liberties Union, which has defended the Chick-fil-A owner�s exercise of his First Amendment rights though it supports gay rights, as well. The ACLU gets it.
In the long run, this may be a wash for Chick-fil-A. For every social liberal who�s offended and will never spend another dime at the restaurant, there�s a social conservative who will eat there twice a week now instead of once. Others will just belly up to the counter because they�re hungry and could care less about the political beliefs of its ownership. The latter will likely prevail, and this dispute will go away at some point, as will this election year, thankfully.
In the meantime, one continues to lament a nation where everybody talks and nobody listens, while wondering whatever happened to the attitude, �I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.�
-- Journal Star of Peoria, Ill.
Editorial: Playing chicken with the Constitution

Pleasant Ridge's Tony Weber, Immaculata's Sarah Wagner headline teams' medal lists
With the weather finally cooperating, the Immaculata and Pleasant Ridge track teams competed at Hiawatha on Thursday.
Of the two local schools, it was the Rams who faired the best.
The Ridge girls came in fifth overall while the PR boys were seventh.
"We had a really good night," PR coach Glenda Connelly said. "Both the girls and boys relay teams had best times. The girls' 4x800 took off 24 seconds, so we are really excited for that relay team."
The Raiders saw its boys' squad come in 10th and its girls' team earn 11th.
"We went up a little shorthanded with just eight competitors," Imac coach Terry Jordan said. "The weather cooperated giving the athletes a great opportunity to compete."
Below is a quick rundown of each school's top highlights:
Pleasant Ridge
Tony Weber, first in boys' 1,600 and 3,200 meters
Syvannah Williams, second in 300 hurdles and third in 100 hurdles
Haley Worthington, third in javelin
Blake Graham, third in 100 meters and fourth in 200 meters
Rachel Hattok, fourth in the 1,600 meters
Matt Smith, fourth in 100 meters
The boys' 4x100 relay snatched second while the girls' 4x100 relay won third.
Ridge will host its annual meet Monday beginning at 3:30 p.m.
Sarah O'Neil, third in 300 hurdles
Drew Sachen, fourth in 100 meters, seventh in long jump and eighth in 200 meters
Mark Hernandez, fifth in high jump
Grace Parker, seventh in 100 meters and eighth in 200 meters
Cole Humble, personal bests in 800 and 1,600 meters

The Neosho Transportation Development District's Board of Directors voted Thursday afternoon to set the date of their annual property owners meeting and election for Thursday, April 4.
The Neosho Transportation Development District's Board of Directors voted Thursday afternoon to set the date of their annual property owners meeting and election for Thursday, April 4.
Property owners are set to meet at 3 p.m. that day at the Neosho Area Chamber of Commerce, 216 West Spring Street, to elect two members to the board of directors.
Landowners serve as the voters in the TDD, which operates as its own political entity, with their number of votes contingent on the amount of acres they own within the district. The City of Neosho is the largest single property owner within the TDD, because of the public golf course. The Neosho R-5 School District has just shy of 30 acres because of the middle school and surrounding land, while the other property owners in the TDD are private individuals or entities.
"The court last year, as part of one of their orders, said we need to have our annual meeting sometime during the first week of April each year," said TDD attorney Chris Williams via teleconference.
Williams was referring to a June court order, written by Newton County Associate Circuit Court Judge Kevin Selby.
The order was in response to the City of Neosho's petition filed in May 2012, requesting that the TDD be forced to hold its annual board election, which was not held in April 2012.
At the time there was uncertainty as to who the legal voters within the district were after it was discovered that there were multiple registered voters living within the district.
The court ruling held that annual elections must be conducted the first week of April, and also established landowners as the legal voters within the district.
While the TDD board held their election July 16, as agreed upon in a pre-trial conference in June, an August court order, also written by Selby, tossed out the results of that election and ordered a second contest be held in not less than 60 days.
That order was also in response to a city-filed petition, filed Aug. 15, which stated that lawful notice of the TDD's July 16 election was not published once a week for two consecutive weeks prior to the contest, as required by state law. The order also ruled the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission was not legally qualified to vote in the election, as they had done in the July contest.
A second TDD election was then held in October, in which Steve Roark was elected to a one-year term on the board.
Williams noted in Thursday's board meeting that legal notice of the property owners meeting would be published in today's Neosho Daily News, as well as in an upcoming edition to fulfill the state requirement.
The board of directors handled no other business in open session, opting to go into executive session to discuss "strategies in terms of legal claims."
