Gun Sales Up Before November Elections
By: Kristin Anderson
Updated: June 26, 2012
Patrick has owned his gun shop for about a year. And with November's election only a few months away, he's starting to see an increase in the number of people buying guns in fear of Obama's re-election.
"Sales have always been good but you know, it's just been a really big jump lately," he said. "The past couple months everybody's been really coming in here and wanting."
The same goes for Lance over at B&B. He said mid summer normally isn't this busy, but sales are increasing just like the first time Obama took office.
"This is normally our slow time of year, and it is a little slower mid summer," said Lance. "But we can tell that it's steady and the interest and everything is there so I know it's going to increase as we continue on through the year."
Patrick said the number of first-time owners that have walked into his shop have risen as well, with the same political motivation to buy.
"Same thing. You know, people are looking at it and going, 'Hey, I need a fire arm and may not be able to own one after elections,'" said Patrick.
And gun sales aren't the only thing being driven up by the November elections.
"Values on guns are really going up. All the collector grade guns are bringing a premium now. There's a lot of new manufactured guns that are in short supply that are bringing in ridiculous amounts," Patrick said.
But the economic factor of gun prices is not what's pushing the sales as much as the political influence.
"Main thing is politics. Politics play a big role on gun sales," said Patrick. "With the economy up or down, we still sell guns."
Patrick and Lance both told me that they expect the sales to continue to rise as we get closer to the election in November.

Madeline is a rescue dog who has been living happily with Judy and Tom in Rockville, MD for four years. She got spooked and ran away from the dog walker on Dec 3 at the corner of Aster Blvd/Nelson St in Woodley Gardens Rockville, MD. She is a 5 year old, 45 lb red-brown-tan coonhound mix.
There have been sightings of her (or a dog who looks like her) in the Kensington/Garrett Park/Wheaton/Chevy Chase area. We will keep looking until we find her - she is part of our family and we miss her terribly.
If seen please call 301-728-2771. Please don't chase her because she will run; she is scared of people and is probably even more scared now. Instead, please call with location and the direction she was going in.
Because she is so scared, it most likely won't be possible for anyone to catch Madeline, even her parents. The best advice from all the experts is to establish a range where she is hanging around, then put out a humane trap with yummy food in it. Madeline used to sleep in a crate every night so is likely to see the humane trap as a friendly/safe place. That's why it's so important to call with sightings - so we can figure out the best place to put a humane trap.
Large $$$ reward for safe return!
4:45 pm on Saturday, January 26, 2013
So sorry that you have lost Madeline; hopefully she will be found & returned soon. People in my Kensington office are keeping a lookout for her as we go about our daily routine there and in the surrounding areas.

Update, 1/31/13: Maddie was seen this morning on Mitscher Street in Kensington, This is consistent with a recent sighting on Byrd Rd, and with sightings in early January/late December. If you live in this area, and are willing, please put food out for her. If we can get her to return to one area regularly for food, we should be able to catch her. Thank you!

Troy Beaumont Hospital welcomes Oakland County's first New Year's baby
Because little Bryce Thompson Jones couldn't wait to make his debut, he became the first baby born in Oakland County this new year.
Bryce was born at 2:48 a.m. Jan. 1 at Troy Beaumont Hospital. The little boy — who weighed in at 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and measured 18 inches long — was supposed to be born Jan. 28.
His family, who live in Shelby Township, expects to leave the hospital Thursday with their blue-eyed boy.
"He's been a very easy baby so far," said Michelle, 29, who works at the hospital as a contingent nursing assistant. Her husband, Chris, 33, an employment recruiter, was happy to welcome the couple's second boy. Brother Ian, 1, has already greeted Bryce.
Elsewhere, St. John Providence Health System's first Oakland County baby was born in Novi at 3:49 a.m., DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital in Commerce had a baby born at 4:32 a.m. and Henry Ford West Bloomfield welcomed the first child at 8:48 a.m. A baby boy was born at 7:56 p.m. at Crittenton Hospital Medical Center in Rochester Hills.
Michelle Jones knew something might be happening when she visited her doctor's office Monday.
"I was having contractions," she said. The staff checked her and saw she was dilated.
"They said maybe I'd have the baby Monday or Tuesday."
The contractions continued after the appointment and finally the couple drove to the hospital at 8 p.m. Not quite five hours later, Bryce was born.
"We had our New Year's baby," said Michelle. Continued...
Michelle chose the baby's name.
"It was something a little different, and my husband agreed," she said. "You don't hear it a whole lot."
To prepare for Bryce's homecoming, Ian has been moved into his new "big boy" room, said Michelle.
"We got everything ready," said Michelle.
Michelle was on bed rest during her pregnancy.
"I did want a big family — four kids," she said. But the pregnancies haven't been easy, she noted.
"I think this might be it."

Sports Illustrated, rolled up and in my mom's hands, could be considered an assault magazine.....
No humans were hurt during the posting of this message.
Would you consider a water gun?
"I've been defrosted by Cassiesmom" Spring is here somewhere?
Or a pellet gun?
I've Been Frosted
People have been making fire arms as a hobby from the beginning. Now you can print your own AR lower.
Congrats to the Gun Control loon (and no, not all people in favor of gun control are loons, but some certainly fit the bill) for his viewership, which evidently totals more than the population of the United States. His show even out-draws the Super Bowl!!!
From the article:
Piers fame is at an all-time high and his nightly CNN show is watched by between 300 to 500 million people.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
And in other Gun -related news, the NRA is sponsoring the April Texas race.
Sounds like the BATFE needs to sponsor a car. After all, NASCAR has its roots in running illegal shine, it's primary series sponsor for 2 decades was Winston, the major primary sponsors for 2 teams are Budweiser and Miller, it's only logical.
Better yet, have the BATFE provide the pace car.

Okay, NY, CT and CO have now all passed laws banning possession of high capacity magazines.
Pvt. Snuffy is driving home from a national guard drill weekend.
He has his web gear because he's taking it home to clean.
In that web gear is his full battle load of 6 30 round magazines.
Does he get arrested for illegal possession when he gets pulled over for speeding? I hope so, after all, we're a nation of laws, not men. That arrest, moreover, means that he is no longer eligible to be in the military as he has committed a firearm crime, and his continued presence in the military would be a violation of the Lautenberg act. Ah well, $200,000 + down the bunny hole in search of political correctness.
Can we immediately arrest EVERY police officer in those states for possession of an illegal magazine? There are no exemptions in NY for police, can't imagine any other law reads differently as they were mainly pushed by the same people.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
A five year old kills his two year old sister with his very own "Crickett" rifle! The company selling the children's rifles uses bright colors and calls them Crickett and Chipmunk. Aaaaargh Lord give me strength.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
But he has to have that equipment because he is a National Guardsman. But if he is a gang banger on the south side of Chicago with those six 30-round magazines, then yes, arrest him for illegal possession. And go after whoever he got the magazines from. But the National Guardsman has a responsibility to possess the appropriate equipment issued to him. I think you should only bust the Guardsman if he lets those magazines get into the wrong hands.
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
I have been Boo'd ... right off of the stage!

The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
And so it goes...blah..blah..blah...
And our children keep on dying...
But it is okay... as long as it is not your child who dies!
Checking back just to troll, ES?
How nice.
Explain to me how more laws (endangering a child is already illegal) would fix the latest headline? They wouldn't, more laws in fact would do nothing, but it would allow the politicians to fleece the rubes for another term in office, as they DID something. They didn't do anything substantial, but they did SOMETHING, and that's all that counts, isn't it?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The road to the complete nanny state is paved with the same material, and in both cases the pavement stinks of bovine excrement.

1. | Samba | ||
The chugging rhythms of Samba traveled from the predominantly black state of Bahia in northern Brazil, down to Rio de Janeiro in the 19th century. There it spawned several offshoots, among them the loud, chanted Samba Enredo which powers annual Carnaval parades and competitions to this day, and Samba-Cancao, which features more complex harmonies and lyrics. Instrumentation (including the size of the percussion section) varies with style and place, but Samba roots are strong in its offspring: Bossa Nova, Tropicalia, and MPB (Brazilian pop). Samba itself is meanwhile alive, vibrant, and well at each year's Carnaval. Paulinho Da Viola, Bebel Gilberto, João Gilberto, Agepê, Jorge Ben Jor, Zeca Pagodinho, Chico Da Silva, Curumin, Bezerra Da Silva, Samba Squad, Clara Nunes, Elza Soares, Rosalia De Souza, Almir Guineto, Martinho Da Vila, Arlindo Cruz, Beth Carvalho, Carmen Miranda, Nelson Sargento, Sergio Mendes, Seu Jorge, Clementina De Jesus, Alcione, Ary Barroso, Noel Rosa, Chico Buarque, and Wilson Moreira.

3. | samba | ||
Traditional dance and music form of Brazil, it has many possible variations, speeds and hybrids with other dances. Unlike "salsa", the parallel but very different type(s) of traditional dancing in Spanish-speaking Latin America, samba has more hip movement and more of a "shuffle" feel to it, based on its softer ease on (and around) the beat, coming from the polyrhythms of the Afrikan percussion music that traditionally accompanied it. However, see also lambada Samba still thrives in variation in the music of the new bands especially of the North-East of Brazil, e.g. Nacao Zumbi, Mundo Livre S/A, Mestre Ambrosio.

A set of scripts and graphical front-ends for UNIX platforms that allows communication and resource sharing in a Windows NT networking environment. Open source and pioneer of the SMB/CIF protocol, Samba has made UNIX/Windows integration a reallity. "I just installed Samba 2.1 on my BSD Machine. Now I can print from my BSD tower to my XP machine's printer"

I don't know how they can say this is the first game with real guitar. I guess no one's heard of Power Gig or the Rock Band pro guitar, so they believe it.
Just browsing around the net, it looks like not many people consider guitars with midi pickups as "real" guitars so they are completely disregarding RB3's guitar (which is full scale unlike the Rocksmith one may be) and PowerGig's since they both have midi pickups.
It's a shame how ignorant people can be sometimes ain't it?
Guitar Covers Channel: www.youtube.com/user/MysticGuitar77
PSN: mega-tallica
If they consider the First Act guitars as "real", they can consider the PowerGig guitar as real.
It is pretty much a real guitar except it has a smaller scale, much like the Les Paul Junior's, but it still contains real guitar parts. I don't see any argument towards RB3's Squier though.
Guitar Covers Channel: www.youtube.com/user/MysticGuitar77
PSN: mega-tallica
Rocksmith sounds like a rock polishing game.
I remember that someone once got sued by First Act because they were calling First Act (marching band) instruments "instrument-shaped objects".
Les Paul Juniors have the same scale length as the other Gibson guitars, you may be thinking of the "Express" model they are bundling Rocksmith with.
We've ended on a sour note:
Still...thank you for the music

If confirmed, Judge Nitza I. Quinones Alejandro, will become the first lesbian latino woman appointed to the federal bench. On Tuesday, Nov 27th, President Obama nominated Judge Quinones and two male judges to the Third Circuit, Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Judge Quinones Alejandro currently serves as a Judge on the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas where she currently presides over civil trial. Though, she has presided over both civil and criminal matters in the County Court of Common Pleas. Judge Quinones Alejandro was the first Hispanic female judge to serve on the Court of Common Pleas.
Judge Quinones Alejandro began her career when she completed her B. A. cum laude in 1972 from the University of Puerto Rico, and her J.D. in 1975 from University of Puerto Rico School of Law. She worked as a Staff Attorney for Community Legal Services, Inc. in Philadelphia from 1975 to 1977. She was recruited to work as an attorney for the Department of Health & Human Services, Office of Hearings and Appeals for the Social Security Administration in 1977. From 1979 to 1991, Judge Quinones Alejandro worked as a Staff Attorney for the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
During his presidential campaign, President Obama publicly recognized that same sex marriage should be legal; President Obama has said, "At a certain point, I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go head and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married". However, after his reelection Obama stated that gay marriage "would be up to future generations of Americans to implement meaningful reform". Therefore, Obama will not venture to make a substantial change to federal law in favor of marriage equality during his next term,… or will he? Many suspected that Obama was referring to the states rights doctrine in specifying that future generations would make substantial change to marriage equality reform. With a long series of federal judicial appointments lined up for his next term, Obama might have given us a glimpse into his plans for the future with his nomination of Judge Quinones Alejandro. While her sexual orientation has nothing to do with her judicial qualifications, it does show us that President Obama is willing to appoint Judges based on qualification and not sexual orientation, which might result in a more proportionate number of gay and lesbian judges serving on the bench. If more liberal judges are appointed to the bench, marriage law reform might be more likely to occur.
Furthermore, while appointment to the federal bench is a great accomplishment for Judge Quinones Alejandro, the media is disgustingly focused on her sexual orientation. This emphasis on her sexual orientation confirms the strong prevalence of stereotypes and the construction of the "other" that still exist within our society. When the President nominates judges the media instantly identifies the nominee with racial or sexual distinctions if they are a member of the minority. Another Judge nominated along side Judge Quinones Alejandro, Judge Luis Felipe Restrepo's nomination has received little coverage, focusing on his identity as a latino, while Judge Jefferey L. Schmehl has not been reported on singularly. This is because Judge Quinones is identified as the most "other" of the three nominations, Judge Restrepo is also seen as an other, and Judge Schmehl is not recognized as the "other". This craze over Judge Quinones Alejandro's "other-ness" only perpetuates the idea that she is someone on the outside because of her gender, race and sexual identity. All of which are not reasonably related to the requirement or skills needed to fulfill the position of federal judge. Yes, it is great that Judge Quinones Alejandro has broken another glass ceiling, but when are we going to stop the communications that perpetuate the stereotypes that suppress women and minorities from breaking the glass ceiling in the first place?! "Other-ness" and outsiderness should be identified by a persons lack of qualifications and experience, not their sexual orientation, not their gender, and not their race.

Truck leaks fuel over 25-mile stretch in Washington County
No oil-related accidents were reported
Germantown - A truck leaked diesel fuel as it crossed Washington County on Tuesday morning, its drip marks catching the attention of a sheriff's deputy north of Richfield, and slick pavement at the intersection of Mequon and Pilgrim roads in Germantown drew the complaints of motorists a few minutes later, authorities said.
A driver for Fisher Truck Services of Germantown observed the fuel leak at state Highways 67 and 60 in Dodge County as he was driving between Horicon and Hartland, Washington County Sheriff's Detective Lt. Robert Konstanz said.
The driver decided to return the truck to the company's repair shop in Germantown, so he turned east on Highway 60, beginning a trail of leaked fuel that would take him through Hartford and Slinger to U.S. Highway 41, Konstanz said.
He drove south on 41 to state Highway 145, where he turned east and drove through the series of roundabouts in the Town of Polk near the Cabela's outdoor gear store.
A sheriff's deputy spotted drip marks on pavement at the roundabouts at 8:28 a.m. and followed the diesel trail into Germantown.
Nine minutes later, motorists at Mequon and Pilgrim roads started calling the village Police Department to complain of an oily substance covering the pavement, Police Chief Peter Hoell said.
A village Highway Department crew was dispatched to the scene and removed the substance, Hoell said.
The roughly 25-mile trip ended safely - with no crashes reported - as the deputy caught up to the truck and driver at the Fisher shop, N104-W13075 Donges Bay Road.

This is a shocker if it proves to be true, 24 year old actress Amanda Bynes has stated that she is retired from acting. The actress has tweeted that she will call it a career because she no longer loves doing it. Her tweets from her verified account, via Yahoo:
"Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem," she tweeted from her verified account. "If I don't love something anymore I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore so I've stopped doing it."
However, she admitted that she's a little young to call it quits already.
"I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first," she tweeted. "I've #retired."
The actress rose to fame on Nickelodeon and WB sitcoms and has been seen on the big screen in movies like She's The Man and Hairspray. If she does indeed hang up her acting shoes for good, then it would appear Easy A, her upcoming film with Cam Gigandet and Emma Stone would be the last chance to catch hero the on the big screen later this year.
Hard to say anyone could stand firmly with a decision as big as this at such a young age, but its not outside of the realm of possibility. What do you think, will this hold? Can she walk away from fame and fortune to do who knows what else for the rest of her life? Would you? Let me know. Thanks to reader JSM for the insider tip. Now if only these other actors could follow her lead we might be on to something.

5. | McGriddle | ||
A sick, wicked and nasty pancake/muffin dealy that is sold at McDonald's. It can some with bacon or sausage, with egg or no egg.
Pass me that McGriddle BIATCH!
1. | McGriddle | ||
A breakfast menu offer at McDonalds that is hated by many, and beloved by many more.
A very popular topic on Tucker Max's website; also seen in his book I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. Tucker Max: "Dude--That thing looks disgusting. It has to be nasty, with the syrup shit in it. What is that?"
Sling Blade : "I can only assume from your cavalier attitude that you have not yet partake of the wonderment that is the McGriddle. Let me enlighten you. What happens is the One True God grows them on trees in the Elysian Fields using a heretofore unused incantation. He then proceeds to magic them down to your local eatery where whatever Ghetto Bastard cook your McDonalds has rescued from welfare that week proceeds to wrap it in cellophane and pass it along to you, the fortunate consumer. You proceed to ingest this finery in the vain hope that your obviously overmatched taste buds can somehow grasp the delectable intricacies it is suddenly faced with. Is that egg? why yes it is, and bacon too. But wait-They didnt add... yes they did, yes they did indeed. They added cheese. And then, then my friends, they wrapped it in a sumptuous pancake bun! As your taste buds try to process that amazing piece of information, IT hits them... the syrup nugget. THE MOTHERFUCKING SYRUP NUGGET!!! It announces itself with a burst of confectionery grandiosity the likes of which your palate has never seen." Tucker Max : "So you like them?" Sling Blade: "if you EVER speak ill of the McGriddle again I will personally force-feed you one while I fuck you in the butt using the wrapper as a condom and then donkey punch you when the infused syrup nuggets explode in your mouth." |
2. | McGriddle | ||
Nick name for someone who was once in shape but gained a bunch of weight and is now obese -Hey why is everyone calling Ryan "McGriddle?"
-Oh, because he was in shape a long time ago, but ate too many things from McDonalds. |
3. | McGriddle | ||
To suck at baseball, or just to suck in general. "Boy, Rangers pitching sure made the Yankees look like a bunch of McGriddles out there today."
"Man, I totally McGriddled that Algebra final. I hope dad doesn't take away my Z-28." |
4. | McGriddle | ||
Someone who is ugly as crap! Yo Stephanie and Helen! Isn't That kid over there McGriddle?!
6. | McGriddle | ||
Named after the McDonald's breakfast sandwich.
"Syrup in the buns." During sex syrup is poured between the ass cheeks of one partner and eaten out by the other. "Man I totally gave my girlfriend a McGriddle last night. She was Lovin' It."
7. | Mcgriddle | ||
To Mcgriddle; When a woman sits her warm golden lips on a mans face smoothering him with her savory juices, just long enough to leave an imprint of the golden arches on his forehead. How about a Mcgriddle tonight?

Stress and Ovulation
Toni Weschler, MPH, of Seattle, Washington, is the author of Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health and recently wrote a book on reproductive health for teenagers titled, Cycle Savvy: The Smart Teen's Guide to the Mysteries of Her Body Weschler believes stress can influence fertility by changing when ovulation occurs. "One of the most common causes of delayed ovulation can be both physiological and psychological stress," she says.
Weschler explains stress affects the functioning of the hypothalamus, which is the gland in the brain responsible for the reproductive system. Stress can delay ovulation and on occasion, if stress is severe, it can prevent a woman from ovulating at all.
The best advice Weschler offers to women who are having trouble conceiving is to chart their fertility signs. "Remember, women are only fertile a few days per cycle, so there is no point in stressing out all cycle long," she says.
Weschler feels that it's especially important to learn the signs that indicate approaching ovulation. "That way, if stress is causing delayed ovulation, you can at least take control by identifying when you are about to ovulate and thus take advantage of the most fertile time," she adds.
Eliminating Stress
Kim Pisinski is the mother of a one-year-old and pregnant with her second child. She says trying to conceive was especially stressful for her. She was in her mid-30s and working full-time as an attorney when she and her husband decided to try to have a baby. Her husband was exposed to radiation in the first Gulf War, and Pisinski had severe endometriosis. Doctors told them there was little hope she'd ever get pregnant.
For seven difficult months, Pisinski and her husband tried to conceive, but nothing happened. Then, it all changed. "I became pregnant once I decided it would never happen and stopped thinking about it altogether—just enjoying being with my husband and trying to live life to its fullest without a baby," she says.
Pisinski knows every situation is different, but she believes stress directly affected her body's ability to conceive.
Ramsey agrees. She dislikes the "relax and it will happen" phrase as much as anyone, but says it really is good advice. "Start a hobby or get a good book," Ramsey says. "Anything to keep your focus positive and off your problems."
Professionals such as psychologists and social workers are adept at helping you pinpoint the sources of your stress and offer individualized coping strategies. Self-help books are another option worth looking into. Your family doctor or OB-GYN can help you decide if stress is leading to clinical depression or anxiety disorder, and whether medical treatment might help.

Sophistic & Logic :
- This stratagem relies on pushing an opponent to commit an error, show ignorance on any subject to discredit him.
Original text :
If you have advanced a paradoxical proposition and find a difficulty in proving it, you may submit for your opponent's acceptance or rejection some true proposition, the truth of which, however, is not quite palpable, as though you wished to draw your proof from it. Should he reject it because he suspects a trick, you can obtain your triumph by showing how absurd he is; should he accept it, you have got reason on your side for the moment, and must now look about you; or else you can employ the previous trick as well, and maintain that your paradox is proved by the proposition which he has accepted. For this an extreme degree of impudence is required; but experience shows cases of it, and there are people who practise it by instinct.

Works as advertised
This device works as advertised except for the remote control. It does not respond at any distance from the reciever. Although it is a plug and play device the user instructiuns are sorely lacking. Even the instructions from their web page is less than desireable.

Great add-on for Kitchen TV (2-rooms away)
I got this wireless HDMI piece and set it up for my wife to give her cable box access in the kitchen. The Kitchen is 2-rooms away from my living room where the transmitter is set up. I didn't have any problems setting up the transmitter (from a cable box) and receiver to an LED 32 inch TV in the kitchen. This has been working flawlessly for the past 6-months. I recommend using this over some of the others I have tried out.

The Cadillac ATS competes with other compact luxury cars from BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Lexus. While previous efforts had focused on comfort over performance, the ATS represents a firm departure from this strategy, Cadillac opting to match BMW with a strong emphasis on rear-wheel-drive handling and a lightweight body structure. The ATS starts at about $33,000, undercutting the price of a 3-series BMW by about $3,000.
The ATS is all new for 2013. Cadillac has finally decided to produce a car to go head-to-head with German compact sedans, namely the BMW 3-series and the Audi A4. The Cadillac ATS puts a firm emphasis on world-class performance and handling to create a car that matches its European counterparts in terms of chassis dynamics and power. Comfort has not been neglected and the ATS comes well equipped, with Cadillac's brand new CUE entertainment system being a notable option.

Fall is in full swing and you know what that means: time to enjoy some warm, filling, comfort food! We decided to kick off the Fall recipe season the right way with something you can enjoy at home, at a tailgate, or smothered on top of some cheese fries and hot dogs- thats right, we're talking about chili!
The contenders:
The nitty-gritty:
Each chili was scored on a scale of 1-10 (where 1= that's food? and 10= the best chili that has ever entered my mouth) for overall score, the boyfriend/husband test, and the leftover test. We also provide other comments.
Jamie Deen's Chili
Overall score: 9
The boyfriend/husband test: 9
The leftover test: 9
Comments: This was pretty good and we are not very big chili eaters around here. I will definitely plan on making this recipe again with a few minor adjustments such as adding a full pound of both beef & sausage each (hubby is a carnivore!), removing the black beans (love them but they just didn't seem to "go"), and replacing the whole peeled tomatoes with more diced tomatoes (hubby avoided them like the plague and I didn't care for the huge tomato hunks either). This was a great base and I definitely recommend it to others and playing around with the ingredients to fit your tastes!
Taste of Home Spicy Chili
Overall score: 8.5
The boyfriend/husband test: 9
The leftover test: 8.5
Comments: This was really good. We both liked it a lot better than my normal go-to recipe! I would definitely make this again!
Boilmaker Tailgate Chili Recipe
Overall score: 8.5
The boyfriend/husband test: 8
The leftover test: 8.5
Comments: This was very delicious! However, it does not beat our go-to chili recipe, so this will not replace it. The Fritos do not add much to this recipe, so I would recommend nixing them if you do not want the added expense. Also, this makes a LOT of chili– you've been warned.
The winner:
Jamie Deen's Chili!
Special Diets:
While we can't guarantee the results, here are some ideas you can use to customize the winning recipe to your dietary needs:
- Gluten-free: Ensure that your ingredients are gluten-free
- Vegetarian: Forgo the meat!
- Vegan: Drop the meat and suggested dairy toppings
- Lower fat: Use lean ground beef in place of fattier beef products. Consider using ground turkey.
- Lower sugar/calories: You can cut the calories by using some of the suggestions above.

Historical Description: | |
Standing on a small patch of green, perhaps a low-hanging tree branch, Picasso's
bird is a stately creature. Depicted in an effortless style that owes a debt
to the fluidity of the glazing process, the animal is caught in an unguarded
moment. Its long thin beak echoes the lines of its legs and creates a vertical
centering force in the lovely rounded shape of the dish. The brilliant white
sheen of the bird's feathers creates an interior illumination in the ceramic.
As always, Picasso makes a statement in as few gestures as possible; his sense of balance between figure and void in this medium is related to his intuition. His designs might sometimes seem self-evident but their simplicity belies a natural intuition for the decoration best-suited to each ceramic object. The bird and dish look as though they were always meant for each other. Created in 1963, this original white earthenware clay ceramic was published by the Madoura pottery studio in France. It is inscribed on underside in black under brushed glaze: 'No. 83 | EDITION PICASSO | 78/200 | MADOURA'; this work is from the numbered edition of 200.

Biography of Pablo Picasso
"Yet Cubism and Modern art weren't either scientific or intellectual; they were visual and came from the eye and mind of one of the greatest geniuses in art history. Pablo Picasso, born in Spain, was a child prodigy who was recognized as such by his art-teacher father, who ably led him along. The small Museo de Picasso in Barcelona is devoted primarily to his early works, which include strikingly realistic renderings of casts of ancient sculpture.
"He was a rebel from the start and, as a teenager, began to frequent the Barcelona cafes where intellectuals gathered. He soon went to Paris, the capital of art, and soaked up the works of Manet, Gustave Courbet, and Toulouse-Lautrec, whose sketchy style impressed him greatly. Then it was back to Spain, a return to France, and again back to Spain - all in the years 1899 to 1904.
"Before he struck upon Cubism, Picasso went through a prodigious number of styles - realism, caricature, the Blue Period, and the Rose Period. The Blue Period dates from 1901 to 1904 and is characterized by a predominantly blue palette and subjects focusing on outcasts, beggars, and prostitutes. This was when he also produced his first sculptures. The most poignant work of the style is in Cleveland's Museum of Art, La Vie (1903), which was created in memory of a great childhood friend, the Spanish poet Casagemas, who had committed suicide. The painting started as a self-portrait, but Picasso's features became those of his lost friend. The composition is stilted, the space compressed, the gestures stiff, and the tones predominantly blue. Another outstanding Blue Period work, of 1903, is in the Metropolitan, The Blind Man's Meal. Yet another example, perhaps the most lyrical and mysterious ever, is in the Toledo Museum of Art, the haunting Woman with a Crow (1903).
"The Rose Period began around 1904 when Picasso's palette brightened, the paintings dominated by pinks and beiges, light blues, and roses. His subjects are saltimbanques (circus people), harlequins, and clowns, all of whom seem to be mute and strangely inactive. One of the premier works of this period is in Washington, D.C., the National Gallery's large and extremely beautiful Family of Saltimbanques dating to 1905, which portrays a group of circus workers who appear alienated and incapable of communicating with each other, set in a one-dimensional space.
"In 1905, Picasso went briefly to Holland, and on his return to Paris, his works took on a classical aura with large male and fernale figures seen frontally or in distinct profile, almost like early Greek art. One of the best of these of 1906 is in the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, NY, La Toilette. Several pieces in this new style were purchased by Gertrude (the art patron and writer) and her brother, Leo Stein.
Picasso enjoyed creating his art on many media. From paintings to etchings to ceramics, all of his works are a testament to his skills. There are even Picasso prints that are worth more than unique original works.

There's something unique about Lent 2013, according to Father Ben Brown.
"It will start with one pope and get to Easter with another one," Brown told attendees at a Mass on Ash Wednesday at St. Catharine College. "But that change is not as important as the change that Jesus asks for in your heart."
Local Catholics and other Christian denominations marked the 40-day holy observance of Lent beginning on Feb. 13 — just days after an aging Pope Benedict XVI announced his plans to retire from the papacy. He is 85.
SPRINGFIELD — Library officials are expected to meet Thursday to discuss the feasibility of a new downtown building. In December, the library board paid $225,000 for a Main Street lot near Fairgrounds Lane, according to property records.
A warehouse was demolished there and an approximately 10,000 square-feet library is expected to be erected on the site to replace the current 49-year-old building.
The new Washington County Public Library is expected to double the size of the existing structure.
FREDERICKTOWN — Washington County officials are already working toward setting up next year's budget, which goes into effect July 1, and continued improvements at the Fredericktown park will be among the focal points.
In recent years, the park has been transformed with the resurfacing of the basketball and tennis courts and parking area, improvement of the walking track and re-roofing of the pavilion, as well as other upgrades, but one big problem remains.
SPRINGFIELD — Travelers down Main Street in Springfield and visitors to the post office surely noticed something out of the norm last Thursday, with a pair of guests that were welcomed by some, but not so much by others.
Alan Demers and Jenny Burns of Michigan set up photos of President Barack Obama brandishing an Adolf Hitleresque mustache with signs declaring "Pull over to stop Obama" on the sidewalk in front of the post office on Thursday morning. It incited plenty of attention.
A Washington County grandmother says she was nearly duped into wiring money overseas in a bogus scam that seems to be plaguing the region. Earlier last week, Marion County Sheriff's officers warned residents there of a potential scam targeting the elderly. Local authorities say they've received scattered reports of scammers here. A Springfield woman told The Sun she was nearly a victim of that scam. The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she received a phone call about 9:30 a.m., Jan. 11, from a man who posed as her grandson.
Washington County Schools Superintendent Robin Cochran is negotiating a new four-year contract with the district. Preliminary terms of the agreement indicate Cochran will earn no less than her current annual salary of $109,249.25. Details will be finalized sometime before July 1, Cochran said, when the new contract is expected to begin. "I'm really excited," she said. "I'll be working to keep stability in the district."
County officials on Monday discussed projects at Valley Hill and Grundy Home roads. Bridge replacements are needed at both locations and Hornback Construction, based in Hodgenville, was awarded both projects after submitting the lowest bids for each. Hornback placed a bid of $29,940 for work on Valley Hill Road, with an estimate of $148,370 for the Grundy Home Road project.
Saying it was tired of waiting for Congress to take action, the U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday announced it plans to stop delivery and collecting of letters on Saturdays effective Aug. 5. But packages will continue to be delivered. The postal service said the move would save $2 billion a year, according to CNN. "It's a responsible decision. It makes common sense," said Patrick Donahoe, postmaster general and CEO of the postal service.

A sheriff's deputy in a Lawndale patrol vehicle crashed into a wall Thursday while apparently trying to avoid a collision in South Los Angeles, authorities said.
The deputy's injuries were minor, said Lt. Steve Jauch of the South Los Angeles sheriff's station.
The accident happened about 6 a.m. as the sheriff's vehicle was headed north on South Normandie Avenue approaching 93rd Street, said Karina Munoz of the California Highway Patrol's West Los Angeles Office. She said another vehicle traveling west on 93rd appeared to have turned left onto Normandie in front of the deputy, who hit the wall of a nearby church.
"It was a Lawndale patrol vehicle. ... He was going to a call," Munoz said. "He completely avoided (the vehicle) but the evasive action made him collide into the church."
Officers were continuing to investigate the accident. Munoz said the drivers' speeds were unknown.

How Fires Start
By: Brittany Pelletz
Updated: January 22, 2009
They are often hard to get to and hard to put out because of the availability of water so, the key is stopping the fire before it ever gets started.
Sometimes, it's man-made causes such as sparks from a welder's torch, a discarded cigarette, or sparks from a passing train.
Other times, it's the weather itself.
A trailer fire a few years ago in Tye was caused by sparks from an arcing power line.
The winds were blowing the lines and the sparks fell to the ground and ignited dead grass.
The blaze then spread to the mobile home nearby.
No one was at home at the time of this fire and there were no injuries.
When the humidity is low like today, just the absence of moisture in the air can be conducive to fires, but the biggest culprit is the wind.
Not only can it blow down power lines, igniting fires; once a fire gets going, it can get out of hand very quickly when fanned by strong, gusty winds.
There are some steps you can take to minimize your risk.
First, reduce clutter; things around your property that might burn, such as wood stacked against the house.
Second, cut back trees, especially those that may be near your house.
Third, cut a fire break.
Don't let vegetation grow right up to your home.
Finally, have an evacuation plan so that when a fire does threaten, you'll be ready to go.
Stay informed and when time comes to evacuate, leave your home and get out while you can safely do so.
This is good advice because fires can and do move very, very quickly, sometimes cutting off evacuation routes.

Drum Shade Pendant Light
2 Ikea Lobbo Shades, 6" diameter = $6
1 Ikea Lobbo Shade, 12" diameter = $5
1 Ikea Lobbo Shade, 14" diameter = $6
1 yard Ikea Fabric = $8
1 pendant light kit = $12
small chain link = $1.50
Glue gun, scissors, needle-nose pliers
TOTAL: about $40
Decide how you want the tiers to overlap. Make sure your tiers don't overlap too much (or you'll just be limiting how much light gets through the multiple layers), but enough to not show gaps. If your tiers are similar in diameter (like the 12" and 14"), you can get away with about a 2" overlap. If your tiers are further apart in diameter (like the 6" and 12") you may want more like a 4" overlap. You can also trim off the top or bottom of each tier to adjust the overall shape. I cut off a little bit at a time, and used soup cans/boxes/whatever to prop the shades up around each other so I could see how the finished product would look.
I cut the fabric an inch taller and wider than the shade, then glued it in place with a glue gun. The Ikea shades require the frame spokes to poke through the shade and little hardware pieces screw on and hold it in place. Which is why I picked a patterned fabric so you don't really notice the hardware, but I guess you could paint them to match your fabric so they blend in. I'm far too lazy for that. After you glue the fabric, you'll need to poke holes in the fabric that line up with the holes in the shade in order to attach your frame.
Finally, you've got get your tiers to stay in place. I used small linked chain from Home Depot, they sell it by the foot or the yard. Here's where the spoke frame actually comes in handy. Slide one link of each chain strand onto each spoke before you put the spoke through the shade and screw on the fastener. Then just cut each length to the same number of links and use it to attach each tier to each other.
And you're done!
See more if the Drum Shade Pendant Light.

I wouldn't really call myself "lazy" as a general rule of thumb. But you better believe, if I can find a shortcut way to do something and still have it come out halfway decent, then I'm definitely "lazy"!
I usually make a big pot of slow cooker oatmeal ever week and my husband and I eat off of it for our breakfasts. I usually have to add all the "fixin's" to it in the morning. So, why not make it one time with the fixin's already added? Ah hah! I spy "lazy girl"! Here's my solution – a all natural, no sugar, vegan breakfast that is filling and a healthy way to start your day!
Slow Cooker Berry Banana Oatmeal
Serves 4.
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 3 cups water
- 3-5 dates (depending on how sweet you prefer your oatmeal. I used 3, but I don't like my oats overly sweet)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen berries
- 1 ripe banana, chopped
- 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal (optional)
- 1 tea cinnamon
- Dash of salt
- Put half the water and all the dates in a blender or food processor. Puree the dates until they are fully integrated into the water.
- Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook 3-5 hours until the oats are completely done and it's all warm and bubbly.
- Serve immediately or put it in the fridge and scoop a bit out every day to reheat for breakfast.
- If you'd like, top with additional fresh berries and slivered almonds.
