Character History
SPOILERS below : Contains spoilers for the whole series
Kyouko made her first appearance in episode 4, where she made a vulgar comment about Mami's death.
Introduced with an image of a selfish character, Kyouko is a Puella Magi that doesn't hesitate to use her magic powers for selfish benefit and desires. She also shows sadistic qualities as she suggested that if Sayaka wanted to be with Kyousuke, should crush his hands and legs, so that he could not escape. This did not go well with Sayaka, leading to more conflict between the two. Kyouko eventually learns, along with Sayaka and the rest of main Puella Magi characters, sans Homura as she already knew, that they were "tricked" by Kyubey to become Puella Magi for the "greater good."
Kyouko was cold towards Sayaka, but soon grew fond of Sayaka as Kyouko saw her own mistakes reflected in Sayaka's wish. Kyouko soon protected Sayaka from a witch's attack, though the saved Sayaka was unappreciative. Through Sayaka, Kyouko was soon reminded of why she became a Puella Magi at the first place: she liked stories where love and courage prevail. Kyouko soon decided that she'd save Sayaka from the path Kyouko took herself toward darkness.
Kyouko ceased her hostility toward Sayaka and started to give advice. In doing so, Kyouko revealed her past: Kyouko was the daughter of a preacher who started to deviate from his regular sermons and was excommunicated for it. Not knowing the dangerous balance to making such a wish, Kyouko wished for her father to have more followers. She began to hunt witches as a Puella Magi for payment to realize her wish, however, upon finding out that his followers merely arrived through his daughter's magical wish, he became disillusioned and killed his entire family except Kyouko, and committed suicide. Kyouko soon concludes that wishing for sake of others is useless and begins to use her powers for herself--until she meets Sayaka.
Kyouko's concern for Sayaka grew so large that when Sayaka became a witch, Kyouko tried the impossible--to bring Sayaka back from the "dead." Kyouko even asked for the assistance of Madoka, whom had no powers except that she was Sayaka's best friend. Even though Kyouko was determined to save Sayaka, Kyouko soon realized that the impossible truly was impossible and sacrificed herself to protect others from the witch Sayaka became. Kyouko died in episode 9.
In the third timeline that Homura visited, Kyouko was shot and killed by Mami after she realized the truth about Puella Magi. It was after the fight with Octavia, Sayaka's witch form.
After episode 12, Kyouko is once again seen alive by Madoka's wish and fights the demons alongside Homura and Mami.
- Before her name was officially revealed, she was nicknamed Condom-chan by Western fans because of the suggestive-looking ice lolly she had flapping in her mouth in the Opening animation. She is nicknamed Anko by Japanese fans due to an initial misreading of her name when she was first revealed in a magazine.
- Her last name can also be used as a first name.
- Her first name Kyouko (杏子) can also be read as Anzu (あんず) –apricot. Co-incidentally, Apricot+ is Ume's circle name.
- The first character of her name (杏) is the implied real first name (An) of Kafuka Fuura from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Both characters are voiced by Ai Nonaka.
- According to some fans, her somewhat tomboyish nature, reddish hair tied in a pony-tail and sporty style of clothing (when not transformed) which includes shorts and exposes her navel make her look rather like Yoko Littner from Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann (a mecha anime from Gainax).
- Her spear could be a reference to a Snake in it's elongated form or the Lance of Longinus. In the manga, the design of Kyouko's spear is different from what it is shown in the anime.
- Her pet peeve is shown to be having distaste or rage when people are wasting food. Kyouko values food and chastises those who waste it. since Kyouko and her family (parents, Kyouko herself, an unnamed little sister) nearly starved during the period where her father lost her supporters and lived in extreme poverty.
Relationship Between Kyouko and Sayaka
(Majorly taken from Puella Magi Wiki, will be re-written in the near future)
In Mahou Shoujo genre, it is common to find yuri subtexts that prompt fans to ship pairings, even if it's not part of the creators original intention. The relationship Kyouko and Sayaka is of no exception. However, the yuri subtext itself is mainly one sided; while it is officially recognized that Kyouko has feelings for Sayaka, it is uncertain what types of feelings they are. It is also implied that Sayaka never had the chance to reply these feelings (be it for friendship or for the yuri subtext itself), cannonically the relationship itself ended up tragically.
Many fans point out that the reason these two are paired up together is because of their opposing personalities. Sayaka and Kyouko differ not only philosophically but their personalities are bound to cause clashes; yet they are not that dissimilar once you study these characters. Sayaka is an idealist who pursues the path of a hero of justice, she wants to emulate Mami as an example of an ideal Puella Magi. To Sayaka the gift of being a Puella Magi was something sacred to be used for good only and not for selfish acts. Kyouko on the other hand is more of a rogue who would only use her powers to satiate her base desires. Kyouko scoffs at the idea of using her powers to help others, instead she believes a Puella Magi should only help herself (even at the expense of others). To Kyouko there are no rules except her own.
This unlikely pair started out as enemies and Kyouko was close on killing Sayaka, but as the story progressed it was Kyouko who took the first step to close their gap of distrust. Kyouko even went so far as to explain to Sayaka her painful past and to why she believes Sayaka is making a mistake with her life. But Sayaka refuses Kyouko's advice and subtly proclaims she will be a better Puella Magi than her, that she will still follow a righteous path. Sayaka's arrogance at first seems to anger Kyouko (it is not known if she is angry at Sayaka, at herself, or both) but this doesnt stop her from continually pursuing Sayaka to stop her from furthering her mistakes. (Some fans like to suggest that this moment would have alienated any other character from trying to pursue a friendship with Sayaka, yet it seems to have an opposite effect with Kyouko).
Soon the roles are reversed in Episode 8 and 9. Sayaka finally admits that deep down she was no different from others, that she had selfish desires that were never fulfilled and that she regrets her decision on becoming a Puella Magi (like the love of a boy that went unfulfilled, or the jealous regret of saving a friend's life). She starts to see society as a selfish group who would only exploit others with no remorse for those who suffer. Sayaka finally understands that her decision brought nothing but unhappiness and regrets on her part. Betrayed by the world and by her ideals she soon falls into despair and darkness. It is because of this event that Kyouko soon starts to reveal a different side of her.
With the loss of Sayaka, Kyouko starts to reclaim back her older self. She admits to Madoka that there was a time she used to idealize stories of love, friendship, and courage but she abandoned those ideals when she lost her family. After seeing Sayaka's despair, Kyouko decides that she wants to save her and get the old Sayaka back. Kyouko was putting her faith on romantic ideals, a move that many would like to point out as being irrational and dangerous (even Kyubey agrees such notion is illogical). Once Kyouko realises that there is no way to save Sayaka, she decides to sacrifice her life so they could both be together. That way Sayaka wont be alone anymore. There is a division among fans regarding Kyouko's decision to die with Sayaka. There are those who say Kyouko did it as an act of love (the tragic yuri pair or maybe and act of frienship), others say Kyouko knew that even if she did survive it would only be a matter of time before she became a witch so she wanted to end her life her way (a self sacrifice with practical motives).
To fans that support the yuri relationship, the reason that they find this pair strong and attractive is because they want Sayaka to be with someone who can love her and protect her. Kyouko was the only character who understood Sayaka's true nature (and her pain) since Kyouko admitted to her that she saw a fragment of herself in Sayaka. Kyouko was also the only one who chased after her to the bitter end, no matter the obstacles or how obstinate was Sayaka, Kyouko was still there for her. Kyouko fits the perfect role as Sayaka's protector and savior.
The relationship between Kyouko and Sayaka may have not been accidental or a tease but created to heighten emotional investments by the viewers. It is possible that this was part of the creator's intention to emotionally move groups of hardcore fans who support a SayakaxKyouko pairing, thus making their demise in Episode 9 more tragic (or as fans put it a "Yuri Tragedy" ending).

In a radio interview on NPR, the founder of 1-800-GetJunk says he was never motivated by money. Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, was motivated by imagination. They both made a ton of money along the way, but that was secondary to why they did what they did.
Yet many gurus try to persuade us to buy their products or services by promising that they'll help you double or triple your income or earn $50,000 in 60 days.
If you think it's all about the money, I encourage you to look deeper and see if that's really true for you.
What motivates you? Consider things that go beyond money.
You may want to take your journal and do a brain dump with answers to questions like: Why do you want the money (beyond taking care of your basic needs)? What are the deeper elements of your life and business that drive your decisions? What's your bigger purpose in life that money can serve?
The information you uncover may give you some useful insights. Then you can bring those more fully into what you do and how you do it. Your words will gain more depth. You'll create a more solid connection with your readers because you're letting them see who you really are.
Try it and see!
Let me know how it works for you. And if you'd like help to figure this out, so your readers feel that you're transparent, get in touch with me and we can chat about that.

What do we want out of America's schoolchildren? . . . out of America's creationists? I'm tickled pink to announce that my co-author Harvey Siegel and I have just sent in our final manuscript for our new book, Teaching Evolution in a Creation Nation. In this volume, we tackle these difficult questions head-on.
As we've explored in these pages, Harvey and I review the historical and philosophical issues involved in America's long culture-war battle over evolution and creationism. Historically, I argue, creationism (in most of its religiously inspired variants) has worked like other forms of religious and cultural dissent. Philosophically, Harvey reviews the tricky definition of science, as well as the most common objections to evolution education.
In essence, we argue that the best way to understand creationism is as a form of educational dissent. By defining creationism that way, we can see some directions in which classroom policy should go.
Most important, we argue that the proper aims of public-school evolution education should be to inculcate a knowledge and understanding of evolution. No creationist-friendly variants should be allowed in science classes as science. But dissenting students must be allowed and even encouraged to maintain their dissent. We can't insist that students believe this or that about evolution. Not in public schools, anyway. We must insist, however, that students know and understand that evolution is the best scientific explanation of the ways life came to be on this planet.
Among the tricky questions raised by our book are these:
- Is "belief" an inherent part of good evolution education? That is, should children in public schools be encouraged not only to know and understand certain facts about evolution, but to believe that evolution is really the best way to understand the roots of our species' existence?
- Does it water down evolution education to allow dissenters to maintain their dissent, even in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence?
- From creationists' perspectives, is it too much to agree that mainstream evolution science really is the best science? Will creationists agree that their ideas are more religiously inspired belief than legitimate scientific dissent?
- Can teachers in the real world walk this line between teaching facts about evolution and teaching belief in evolution?
There's one important question that is less difficult: When will this baby hit the bookstores? Our editor at the University of Chicago Press tells us our baby will be like a real baby: it needs to gestate for at least nine months before it's ready to get slapped around.
And I'm confident it will attract plenty of slappers.

Topic: God of Complete Restoration
(Open Heaven 13 April 2019)
Memorise: "For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after."- Jeremiah 30:17
Read: 2 Samuel 9:1-7 (KJV)
1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4 And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
7 And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
Bible in One Year: Genesis 3-4, Jeremiah 16:14-17:13
Open Heaven 13 April 2019 Saturday MESSAGE:
God is sovereign over all things. He holds supreme power and authority over all creation, yet He is a merciful God. Most importantly, He is love personified. The story of Adam and Eve in genesis chapter3 shows that whenever His children go astray, this loving and merciful Father immediately sets plans in motion to achieve their complete restoration. In spite of mankind's fall into sin through disobedience, the Father manifested His love by arranging their restoration through the ultimate sacrifice of His only begotten Son. He also provided coats of skin to cover their nakedness and protect them from the effects of contrary weather (Genesis 3:15&21). These acts reveal the true character of the God of complete restoration. What a merciful and loving Father He is!
Restoration is the power of God that returns something or someone to a state that had previously existed, through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ. Restoration is said to be complete when the recipient is returned to perfect condition, like the healing of a wound without leaving a scar. Many people erroneously consider faith and prayer to be the secret of complete restoration. Without a doubt, faith and prayers can lead to restoration; thanksgiving is the secret of complete restoration (Luke 17:12-19). Giving testimonies of what God has done and witnessing about Jesus Christ and His works are powerful ways of appreciating God, and they are forms of thanksgiving. Why is thanksgiving so important to complete restoration? It is because complete restoration is a result of undeserved and unmerited favor from God. In the Name that is above every other name, as you begin to praise and worship God today, you will experience complete restoration in your health, finance and marriage, and you will also experience it spiritually in the area of worship, prayer, Bible study and anointing.
In Joel 2:25-27, God showcased His power to do the impossible by declaring to the children of Israel complete restoration of the years lost to fruitlessness, wasted efforts and captivity. This led them into a new era of joy, peace and prosperity that did not come by their labor. Rather, God had blocked every source of losses in their lives. Most importantly, God is a restorer of lost souls, and He does this with so much compassion and completeness for anyone who calls upon His Name. One of the thieves crucified with Jesus received last-minute grace and assured a place in paradise, despite his sordid past (Luke 23:39-43). This can be your own story too. Receive complete restoration now in Jesus' Name.
Open Heaven 13 April 2019 Saturday Prayer Point:
Father, please wipe away the errors of my past and completely restore me in Jesus' Name.
Open Heaven 13 April 2019 SaturdayHymn 8: My Faith Looks Up To Thee
1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2 May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!

Hi, I am doing one BIGIP LTM Virtual Edition 10.1 ( 90 days trial) setup in our lab to test the appliance. In this process I was trying to configure the appliance to use Microsoft 2008 Active Directory server for authenticating system user accounts, that is, traffic that passes through the management interface (MGMT). Kindly note that this bos don't have APM installed. I use the following procedure to configure the AD authentication -
1.system->users->authentication 2.Select 'Remote-Active Directory'. 3.Give IP address of the AD server in the Host field. 4.use the default port 389, as we have not changed the default port. 5.Give the Remote Directory Tree details --> dc=domain_name,dc=com 6.Scope --> Sub 7.In the bind setting specify the DN --> accountname and the relevant password and confirm the same. 8. No user template. 9. SSL disabled as we did not use and SSL for the AD server. Now this setup is not working. The appliance does not pull AD account information. I am not sure if I have missed some thing in this configuration. I desperately need help to fix this setup as I need to complete the setup at the earliest possible.Kindly let me know if you need any more information from my side.

Here is what our 10.2 ldap auth definition looks like in the bigip.conf file to our 2008 AD Directory server.
auth ldap system-auth {
search base dn "dc=prod,dc=ad,dc=bigcompany"
bind dn "cn=ldapverify,cn=users,dc=prod,dc=ad,dc=bigcompany"
bind pw "ldapverifypassword"
login attr "uid"
user template "%email@example.com"
servers "10.10.10.10"
This section in our bigip.conf defines the role for remote users.
remote users {
default partition all
default role guest
We use the following in our 10.2 LTM setup to define additional remote roles in addition to the default access granted AD accounts. This is also in the bigip.conf file.
remoterole {
role info {
slb_admins {
attribute "memberOf=CN=slb_admins,CN=Groups,DC=prod,DC=ad,DC=bigcompany"
console "disable"
line order 1000
role "administrator"
user partition "all"
slb_appeditors {

Hi Partha,
Jason's example should do the trick for you. I'd suggest not using the 10.1 VE trial edition as it is very old, included LTM only and had feature restrictions.
If you want to evaluate VE, you could contact an F5 SE and request an eval license (www.f5.com/howtobuy). It will work for all current VE versions and support all the modules.
25-Sep-2013 04:04
Thanks Jason & Aaron for your prompt response. Let me try to get the latest version and try in that.
26-Sep-2013 06:45
Hi, I have deployed 11.3 virtual edition and enabled APM module. I have tried all the way to configure the authentication, but failed which is quite frustrating. I am sharing whiat I have did -

When the time for the next ice contract comes around, ask your figure skater if she misses it. Once skating skills are advanced, the boys can also consider Pairs Figure Skating with a female figure skater. Polar bears are beautiful creatures which can survive in icy locations only. You can walk at a calm pace with your lady friend as the two of you check out the beautiful sea creatures. There you will find various marine creatures such as caiman crocodiles, otters, Humboldt penguins, piranha, giant spider crabs, and a lot more. I'm not that flexible but the Maxiflex is helping me a lot. This is beautiful. I have written about my mom a lot. To do this, I had to have a basic list to start with. Set up a treasure hunt – Hide some treats and special items around the house and give your kids a list of all the hidden items to find. It is far better for you to get a captain who knows and deals with the above listed items and many more, while you sit back and enjoy the views, and your friends or family. Overall a winter season vacation would never ever be total without a good old-fashioned trip to Himachal and develop a snowman with your family and friends. They offer a wide range of vacation deals including ticket fare, accommodation, tour guides and other traveling facilities.
If you've spent any time in the figure skating world, you know that eight hours is nothing.
The products themselves are made in Canada, and offer a wider fitting boot for many of their skates, which is something a number of people have requested that other brands simply don't offer. We are one of the largest stocking dealers of speed skating equipment in the world, and we have a warehouse to prove it. If you've spent any time in the figure skating world, you know that eight hours is nothing. And, remember this- there is nothing that will drive your coach more nuts!

What is a must though no matter if you are going for new or used skates, is to make sure they fit well to avoid injury. In skating lessons, the instructor will teach a child how to fall correctly and help bypass serious injury. Depending on the age of your child it could be something developmental. However far your child decides to go with the game, the experience they will gain in teamwork, camaraderie, sportsmanship, and self-discipline will be invaluable as they mature into adulthood. When you finally enter the ice surface, have the child skate near the wall in case they need to hold on for balance. Figure skates need to fit properly for an athlete to achieve his or her best. Riedell Roller Skates are probably the most reliable and authentic skates boots that I have ever come across. Those who do find that they are more focused, more intentional, and more successful than those who try to go it alone. However, in recent years, derby jammers (a player who scores points for their team by skating laps around the track, sort of like a Quidditch seeker on wheels) have taken to buying speed skates as they're the lighter option.
Heat-molding is an option to shape the boots to your feet. You will find that most of these courses are at least 5,500 or more feet above the sea's level, all of which have spectacular views surrounding them. In terms of features, these skates are lined in Nylex, so they are super-warm and cosy. • Details. While drawing the minutia, you will realize that a goalie's image does not portray detailed facial features, rendering the task easier than a portrait. We will be updating you in that regard as soon as we get a hold of him and find out exactly where he is at right now, speaking and singing. During summer, skating rinks are full with children trying to get a foothold on wheels. For some reason there are no decent videos of power pulls on YouTube. There might be a reason for that. One thing that is evident when you are seeking out a term life insurance policy is there are a lot of choices out there. At that time, your dreams of the ice and snow will come true there. Make certain your current skates in shape flawlessly; skates will be the most important device. It is vital to keep your head up because when a player is carrying the puck, they must be aware of their teammates in order to make a play.
I only learned the recipe to make spring roll in middle part of Vietnam. Don't limit your self to a summer roll or spring rolls. The last time I participated in YAS was the inaugural year (2010), and I hope to challenge myself and continue to develop my craft through the five challenges in the competition this summer. The Iranian hostage crisis began and in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, President Jimmy Carter called for a boycott of the 1980 Summer games. They offered these little pusher/assistance things, and I got them for both the kids as this was their first time ice skating. The Rideau Centre offered a welcome opportunity to warm up and catch a nice lunch in its food court. Whether your search for Lincoln apartments takes you downtown, on campus or in the suburbs, opportunity awaits you in Lincoln. Valentine's Day is the time of year when women look expectantly at their boyfriends to see if they pass the romance quotient test, and the time that the boyfriends feel sorely tested.
Those monkeys can ice skate better than I would be able to if I attempted it today.
The synthetic ice is high density plastic polymer and can handle regular, metal-bladed ice skates at any time. A trip to a local art gallery can prove to be a great first date for those into art.

As for the Bauer Vapor 1x hockey stick, it is the perfect balance in a hockey stick that you can find right now. Unless you have a stick, you are going to be kicking the puck a lot. Turns are more difficult due to the larger wheel size, but the reduced wheel profile enables you to skate with more agility when leaning into turns.

Christian Leaders Reject Ugandan Anti-gay Bill
On December 7, Faith and Public Life released a statement condemning the anti-gay bill in the Ugandan Parliament that submits homosexuals to draconian punishments for their "crimes." Sadly, many prominent Christians have refused to speak out against the human rights abuses enshrined in the legislation. Faith and Public Life, however, produced an eloquent statement on Christian responsibility in the face of oppression--and gathered an impressive, inclusive, and diverse list of signers to support their plea to treat homosexual persons with dignity and respect. Despite how fractured the faith community can be, this statement shows that Jesus' call to love our neighbor as ourselves can unite Christians in the face of moral evil.
Read the whole statement here.

There are three rookie drivers competing full time in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2018, but this year's race will likely be between two candidates.
With all due respect to Ray Black Jr. and the No. 51's Rick Ware Racing team, it would be very surprising if the 26-year-old Black outperformed either William Byron or Bubba Wallace in 2018.
Byron, 20, will drive the No. 24 car for Hendrick Motorsports this year.
Wallace, 24, will drive the No. 43 for Richard Petty Motorsports.
Both Byron and Wallace have high expectations from their respective teams for this season. Byron won Rookie of the Year a season ago in the Xfinity Series, and he also won the championship. No one would be surprised if he won a race or two this season and made the playoffs.
Related: Rookie Cup Series driver figured out how to keep racing from interfering with his education
Wallace knows the pressure is on since he's racing for The King, and Petty expects him to be in the playoffs and in Victory Lane. Wallace has the talent, and his four races last year in Aric Almirola's absence will certainly help.
NASCAR changed the points system for Rookie of the Year, and it will now emulate the regular points system. Drivers will earn 40 points and five playoff points for each win, 35 points for second place and 34 points for third place. Drivers will be awarded 10 points and one playoff points for each stage win.
So, who will bring home the Rookie of the Year in 2018?
Both Byron and Wallace are capable of winning races, and it wouldn't be surprising to see either or both in the playoffs.
Wallace will have the full attention of the team at RPM since he's their only driver. Byron is one of four drivers at Hendrick Motorsports, but the team did place three of its four drivers in the postseason last year.
Though both drivers are loaded with potential, our pick for Rookie of the Year is William Byron. We won't guarantee a victory for him, but he'll earn enough points to get the nod over Wallace.
We're expecting a tight battle between those two, and it could come down to the wire.

Chunky Chain
I had some thick 10 gauge silver wire hanging around my studio, so I decided to make a super chunky chain with it. This necklace packs a punch. Heavy and full of attitude. A great piece to wear with anything when you're craving some drama.
Oxidized silver with a hook clasp.
19" long.

University of Arizona researchers fell deep into a hashtag researching rabbit hole to find out which food each state talked about most on Twitter. We gotta say, we're kind of surprised by the results in Florida. We are, apparently, part of the grits belt of the South. Yup, here in Florida, we light up Twitter with talk of grits. Not oranges, not Key Lime pie, not supremely sweet rock shrimp: grits.
Now, don't get us wrong, we love grits. In fact, they're a Florida ingredient, milled on-premises at Bradley's Country Store in Tallahassee (you can find them locally at Local Roots at East End Market.) You can also get killer plates of shrimp and grits all around town at places like the Coop, Marlow's Tavern and Tibby's New Orleans Kitchen. Or, if you're so inclined, you can make your own; we've got a great recipe here.
Let's take a look at some of those other states through. We're worried about you, Kansas and New York. Why all the prune talk? And Indiana gets super-specific, not just tweeting about #eggs, but #yolks. We agree, Indiana, yolks are the best part. Kentucky knows what's up, though: talkin' about tacos.
If this surprising revelation that Florida tweets about grits more than any other food has thrown you off balance, the map below (from Cooking Channel TV) should calm you. It shows which dish best represents each state. Florida's no shocker here; we're well-represented by Key Lime pie.

Citing its strong financial management and conservative budgeting practices, New Castle County's AAA credit rating has been affirmed by all three major rating agencies, with an outlook of 'stable.' New Castle County is preparing for a $186 million general obligation bond issuance, which includes the refinancing of higher interest rate bonds to more favorable current market yields.
"Strong financial management has been one of the hallmarks of my administration," said County Executive Gordon, who was the County Executive that first achieved the AAA credit rating for New Castle County. "Our debt burden remains low and our financial reserves remain high."
"Our AAA credit rating is a direct function of our strong balance sheet, which was bolstered by a historic financial turnaround during the first two years of the Gordon Administration", said Chief Administrative Officer David Grimaldi.
Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's comprise the three credit rating agencies. AAA is the highest rating, and "stable" that means that the rating given is not likely to change.
"New Castle County's continued 'AAA' rating is a testimony of the prudent fiscal management with strong and well-embedded fiscal policies initiated by the original and current Gordon Administrations," said Chief Financial Officer Michael Coupe.

The elephants. They are coming., originally uploaded by quiltingmick / michelle.
I can't stop with the elephants. I just got this elephant fabric in from Japan and cut it up immediately. I spent today quilting them and sewing them up into bags. I'm in love.
They will be in the shop once I've cooked dinner, perhaps in an hour or so.
And here endeth any mention of boxes for socks in the near future. Quilting and crochet coming soon!

When it comes to ABC, I'm not even thinking about fall yet—the second it's a wrap on finale season, I'm diving into Scandal for the summer. I can't stand not knowing what everyone else is talking about—plus, I've had to squirrel away Phoebe's recaps for when I'm all caught up. I cannot wait.
And 'twas Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope herself who kicked off the ABC upfront this afternoon, in a funny sketch that found Jimmy Kimmel confessing that the "stars" on DWTS "aren't really stars. We pick them up at the bus station." Then it was on to plenty of new and exciting stuff. Your major takeaways:
__1) The Goldbergs, you had me at Jeff Garlin and Wendi McLendon-Covey as parents, but you REALLY had me at Jeff Garlin and Wendi McLendon-Covey as parents in the '80s. ____
3) SUPER FUN NIGHT! Brought to you by the one and only Rebel Wilson. I love the dorky BFF vibe.
5) Get ready to geek out, comic book nerds! It's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Overall this show doesn't look like it was too expensive to make.
__What looks good to you?

Every single time you smile, laugh or frown, the facial muscles that you're using wear, and begin to create fine lines and wrinkles. This can make you look worn, tired and older than your true age. A simple, surgery-free solution is to have Botox injections.
Originally, Botox was developed to treat medical conditions, such as migraines and the muscle spasms caused by cerebral palsy. But in 2002, Botox was approved by the FDA for cosmetic procedures. Now, it is practically the standard answer to handling worry lines, for more than two million people within the US each year.
Repeated creasing of the skin, from using underlying muscles causes furrow lines in the forehead, in between the brows and around the eyes. These lines can be eradicated by treating the aforementioned areas with Botox. Botox is also quite an effective treatment, when applied on the "bands" that can develop on the neck. Today, Botox can even help with issues of excessive sweating. Botox is the only treatment for forehead wrinkles that addresses the underlying muscle, instead of simply masking the lines. Dr. Racanelli aims to give his patients a youthful, glowing, flawless looking face, resulting in one of the best facial rejuvenations Brooklyn can provide.
How Botox works
Botox is a type of botulinum toxin, which works by paralyzing the underlying muscle, from the point it is injected from. This helps to prevent the repetitive movements that can create creases to one's skin. It is essential to consult a reputable and qualified cosmetic surgeon when considering Botox.
Dr. Racanelli offers his patients a comprehensive range of injectable treatments, including Botox, Radiesse, Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, and Xeomin. Dr. Racanelli will go over all the varying pros and cons of each product. Dr. Racanelli will be able to effectively determine the correct treatment for your needs, during your private consultation. Dr. Racanelli strives to offer his patients with some of the best facial rejuvenation New Jersey has available.
Once it has been established that Botox is the right treatment option to achieve your goals, Dr. Racanelli uses extremely fine needles to keep discomfort to an absolute minimum. The treatment only takes about 15-20 minutes, before you can be off with the rest of your day. You should see visible results within 14 days. The effects of Botox last approximately three to four months. That being said, with regular treatments the results can be extended much longer.
Schedule a Consultation
If you'd like to learn more about your options for Botox in Brooklyn or New Jersey, request a consultation online. Or feel free to call the office directly at (888) 982-3309 and one of our staff members will be happy to assist you.

Source: Reagan Odei Ofusu Osarfo - Dr.Papa Kwesi Nduom has raised pertinent questions ahead of the coming by -election in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region and District Assembly elections slated for July 07 and September 1, 2015 respectively.
He raised these questions on his show 'In Ghana Great and Strong' (GG&S) last Saturday night.
The host before addressing the day's topic 'Are we in the 21st Century yet?' raised
many questions on current government related matters arising.
The subject came about when Dr. Nduom noted to his viewers and listeners the instances that happened in the Wulensi constituency in 2012 where by-election was politicized in the country.
A period where a disgraceful alliance came together of NDC,NPP,CPP and PNC to prevent the by-election from taking place.
According to him politicians in Ghana take by-election and elections more seriously than the task of governing the nation, than the task of offering solution even when they are in opposition.
Dr. Nduom asked some pertinent questions on some current matters:
1. On the by-election announced by the Electoral Commission to be held on Tuesday, July 7th 2015 in Talensi, he asked if it will be politics as usual, like what happened in 2012 in Wulensi where the full force of government including the treasury was on display – even including National Security to start some infrastructure projects – roads, street lights, etc.
Do the people have to wait for their MP to die? Do the people have to wait for a by-election?
Do we have to wait for an election for an administration to raise and hurriedly come, and do roads, put lights there, bring water and so on? Should that be the case?
2. On the Electoral Commission's announcement that the District Assembly elections will take place on September 1, 2015, he asked if we will see political parties, ministers of state mounting platforms and publicly supporting candidates aligned to their political parties?
He wanted to know if political parties and government will pay only lip service to the non-partisan nature of Assembly Elections as prescribed by the 1992 Constitution.
He wondered if our tax money will be used to support some candidates.
Dr. Nduom on the same platform a few months ago accused some Ministers of State of introducing some candidates and associating them with the ruling NDC party.
He had also encouraged viewers to call in and name and shame any politician or government official who plays the partisan game with the Assembly elections.
3.On the migration from analogue to digital television, he recalled that the Ministry of Communications had previously announced that it did not have the money to carry out the digital migration project as a public sector initiative.
He confirmed that he was not accusing anyone of wrongdoing or questioning the right of the Ministry to proceed with the project but would want to know the source of financial funds to execute the project.
The main topic for discussion "Is Ghana in the 21st Century Yet?" produced some interesting insights and viewer comments.

|The Winners!
(From "Simply Scrumptious Tea Room Emporium" in Eureka Springs, Arkansas)
1 quart fresh or frozen strawberries (they used frozen)
1 12 oz. container thawed Cool Whip
1 pint sour cream
2 small containers strawberry yogurt
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar
Purée strawberries in food processor or blender.
In a large bowl add remaining ingredients to strawberries and mix well. Chill at least 4 hours.
Serve in cold bowls or cups.
Garnish with strawberries and a mint sprig if desired.
Ala' Chez Joyce Blackwell's
Mushroom Soup with Chestnut and Roasted Fennel
(Original Recipe Food Network Recipe by Tyler Florence)
6 small fennel bulbs, stalks removed, halved lengthwise, save some of the fennel fronds
(Looks like dill weed) for garnish
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
4-6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 bunch fresh thyme sprigs, leaves stripped from stem or 1 tsp dried
3 pounds mushrooms in total, wiped of grit and coarsely chopped
I used a combo of as many types as I can find in the stores; button, cremini, oyster,
Chanterelle, shiitake, portabella, porcini, hen in the woods, etc. the original only called
For 3 types, 1 lb each.
1 pound cooked chestnuts ( at Trader Joe's year round).
3 quarts chicken stock ( use vegetable stock for vegetarian friends).
1/2 to 1 cup heavy cream.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Put the fennel halves, cut-side up, in a baking dish and drizzle with enough olive oil to come up half way ( no more than a cup);season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until completely tender. The roasted fennel is the base of the soup, so it's important the flesh is soft enough to be cut with a spoon. Reserve until ready to serve.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium flame, add onion and garlic. Sauté for 4 minutes until translucent. Toss the thyme into pan along with the mushrooms, season with salt & pepper. Cook, stirring for 10 to 15 minutes, until the mushrooms give off their liquid. Add the chestnuts and cook for a few minutes more until they have some nice color on them. If desired, remove about 1 cup of the mixture and chop it a bit more finely to save as a garnish for soup.
Pour the stock into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and purée the soup until completely smooth, using a handheld immersion or regular blender. Stir in cream to make soup even richer, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls garnishing each serving with a bit of the reserved chopped mushrooms and chestnuts and a sprig of the fennel frond.

"Oh! Well then I shouldn't tell you what I had for dinner last night!"
Is a response I often get when people find out what I do for a living, and it always makes me a tiny bit sad and just a smidge self-conscious. Why? Because it shows that some people worry that I am going to judge them for their food choices. It betrays the shame people feel about what they are eating. It is yet another reminder that, in our culture, food and morality sometimes go hand-in-hand.
More and more, the message seems to be: if you aren't eating "healthy," then there is something wrong with you—if you eat sugar-laden treats, drink soda, have chips, buy fast food, or depend on processed foods, you are poisoning yourself and anyone else you might be feeding.
But over the years that I have worked in this "healthy" food world, I have grown to believe more and more that this sort of thinking about food and eating is more damaging than eating any of those "bad" foods.
When I first started trying to change my own diet to a healthier one, I was completely overwhelmed by all of the messages I was getting: don't eat wheat; sugar is poison; don't eat dairy; only eat organic; include x, y, and z superfoods in your daily diet; drink one glass of red wine a day; never drink wine; drink one cup of coffee a day; coffee will destroy your adrenal gland and you'll never have energy again, etc.
It got to a point where I would go food shopping and feel paralyzed, even in a health food store!
And then I realized it was too much. I was reverting back to my days of disordered eating. I had lost touch with why I had gone into this work in the first place—because I wanted to share my passion for food and show people how accessible and life changing simple cooking can truly be.
So I made a conscious decision to let go. Yes, I was going to continue to find fun ways to make my diet healthier. Yes, I planned to include more fruits and vegetables and cook mostly from whole ingredients. But I was not going to deprive myself (or my family) of foods that we truly enjoy or feel guilty about any of the foods we ate. In other words, I found a balance.
4 ways I'm not as healthy as you think
Here are some things about my eating that may surprise you:
1. I eat sugar.
Not a lot of it, but there is sugar somewhere in my diet every day. There is some in my chai, I often have a handful of chocolate chips after lunch, and I often enjoy something sweet after dinner.
2. I drink alcohol.
I usually have a glass of wine in the evening. Sometimes two. And when I go out for a grown up night, maybe even more (although this is less and less true as I feel crummier the next morning than I used to, so it has become less "worth it").
3. There are refined carbs in my house.
White pasta? Yup. White rice? Yes. White flour? You bet. Do I also have the whole grain versions of all of those things? Absolutely. But we enjoy both in our house. After all, I am married to a Brazilian who might divorce me if all the white rice disappeared from our dinner table.
4. There are processed snacks in my house.
No, I don't have Doritos or Cheetos laying around (although we do enjoy those on occasion and I don't judge anyone who has them on the regular!), but there are often pretzels, corn chips, or potato chips. I also often make stove top popcorn, bake whole grain muffins, and have been known to make crackers from scratch.
What have I learned from all of this? For me, the greatest realization was that once I stopped feeding myself from a place of rules and restriction, I started enjoying my food more. I savored it more. I was more relaxed about it.
And the coolest realization of all: now that I'm not feeling deprived anymore, the foods that I naturally choose (most of the time, at least) are the healthier options because they actually make me feel better and because I am more attuned to what my body and my heart need.
So, please, next time you talk to me, tell me all about the McDonalds or the microwave pizza you ate and also share with me the recipe for the amazing vegetable soup you made from scratch. I want to hear it all and honor it all, because that is what food should be about.

The taste machine named Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick was one of the greatest film directors ever. If you love his films, you might want to see the exquisite exhibition at the Cinémathèque Française: it's a real odyssey through a unique body of work.
Each film a milestone
"The best education in film", Stanley Kubrick used to say, "is to make one". He himself didn't make a hell of lot of them, only 13, but each one is, if not a masterpiece, at least a milestone of 20th century cinema. You remember 2001, A Space Odyssey, Barry Lindon, A Clockwork Orange, Shining? Here we go: there are not a lot of film makers who ventured in different genres, always trying to renew or to subvert them.
War and horror
There are his war films (Paths of Glory, Full Metal Jacket), there is science-fiction (2001, A Space Odyssey), even horror (The Shining), but there are political fables, too, like Dr Strangelove and A Clockwork Orange, even the costume film Barry Lyndon, the tragic love story Lolita, and the detective story The Killing. His last film Eyes Wide Shut was probably even more degenerate but it revealed his most intimate work and evaded all the categories. The Kubrick exhibition which has already been shown in Frankfurt, Berlin, Zurich, Gand, Rome, and Melbourne before coming to Paris, offers the opportunity to go backstage: Kubrick's archives, photos, notes, scenarios, correspondence and various research documents are spread over 10,000 square feet, exploring each of his films in chronological order.
Make the right decisions
Imagine with the documents the original costumes, accessories and screenings alongside – and you will understand a lot about this extremely intellectual, unique man and his way of seeing and creating. For Kubrick a director was "a kind of taste machine" and a movie "a series of creative and technical decisions": "It's the directors job to make the right decisions as frequently as possible." Kubrick's films have often been groundbreaking, controversial - and misunderstood. Above all, he was criticized for the aestheticised depiction of sex and violence in his films. Visiting the exhibition, you'll understand that his work is not and has never been about provocation, it's about human nature. "I don't see the character in the story in terms of good or evil", he once said, "but in terms of good and evil".
Duality of man
Remember the scene in Full Metal Jacket? A marine is wearing a peace button and the colonel asks him why, suspecting him being against the war. The marine answers that he is not against war. He says: "Well, Sir, I suppose I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man." When I said this exhibition offers the opportunity to go backstage, I meant it in a double sense: you not only discover the machine behind Kubrick's films and understand his technical inventions, but you get the impression of meeting the man behind the oeuvre.
Strange, troubling directions
Martin Scorsese once said that Kubrick "expanded our idea of what is possible in movies. And I believe that in so doing, he actually expanded our consciousness of ourselves – the cruelties of which we're capable, the longing we feel for something unnamable, the forces that compel us to move in strange, troubling directions. (…) Kubrick was an artist of real vision, in every sense of that overused word, and this exhibit is a fitting tribute." Stanley Kubrick: L'exposition - UNTIL 31st OF JULY 2011
