A south Georgia college president is excited about his chance to help improve graduation rates at Georgia colleges.
Governor Nathan Deal appointed Albany Technical College President Dr. Anthony Parker to a 26-member commission that will examine how the state funds the University and Technical College Systems. Their job is to find ways to reward schools that find ways to help more students succeed.
"I think what we're going to do is look at ways to encourage students to do better in a shorter period of time so that they'll graduate go to work and be able to make a contribution to themselves and to their families," said Dr. Anthony Parker, Albany Technical College President.
The commission will have until December of next year to present their findings to the governor.

In my review today of Local Three, I mentioned that chef Chris Hall prepares an excellent rendition of boiled peanuts — cooked just to that creamy-bursty point and deeply flavored with chile, garlic and bay leaf.
I've also noticed boiled peanuts show up on the menu at Sprig — the new neighborhood joint in Oak Grove.
Could boiled peanuts be this year's pimento cheese — the simple Southern snack rethought and gussied up for gourmet-minded menus?
I'm going to have to duck to avoid flying objects after saying this, but I have to admit, as a non-Southerner, I've never really enjoyed boiled peanuts until I tried this version. I've dutifully picked up bags on road trips just for "when in Rome" 's sake, but I'm the only one in the family who can even stomach them.
Are there any fellow non-Southerners out there who've developed a taste for boiled peanuts? And is anyone noticing them showing up on other menus around town?

I'm a southerner, and I can only tolerate them on very rare occasions. They're too salty, too slimey. But when hot, they can be addictive.

John, I was born and bred in Atlanta, with trips to South Georgia regularly to see grandparents. I dreaded my father's roadside stops that filled the car with musty bean smell, and have never recovered to enjoy boiled peanuts. A challenge to the palate is always important though, so I will give these a shot.
This review highlights your concerns voiced earlier however, the responses to which have been extremely entertaining, as I am sure you intended. The two most heralded openings of the last few months, Empire State South and Local Three, are very similar, with comfy/casual with a touch of refinement. But my wedding rehearsal dinner was at Joel, and when considering where to go for a special meal, I am now at a loss. I suppose I will revert to Bones, as they do that genre better than anyone, but I really miss the transcendental experience. Most of our best options these days seem like chef driven improvements on what I could cook at home. I can cook a good burger. I can source and arrange a good charcuteri. I can't very well execute the dorade Joel served us, and I miss it. I want to be transported forward, not backward. Thanks for stirring the pot.

A real Southern delicacy and a favorite of mine for many years. One of the rites of fall was driving up toward Blairsville, picking up a six pack and a bag of boiled nuts from a roadside guy with no teeth, and enjoying the cool mountain breeze. Served with buttermilk, it's also a great way to get rid of yankee guests! BTW, you may be aware Hugh Acheson is doing a boiled peanut hummus appetizer, which I have "borrowed" several times. Really good.

I don't doubt your memories, however you stopped way before Blairsville to get your beer. Union County (Blairsville) only voted in alcohol sales this past July. Fannin County (Blue Ridge) which you must drive thru to get to Blairsville went "wet" about 2 years ago, beer & wine only. After spending my life (55 yrs) in Atlanta and Middle GA, I bought a cabin in Fannin County 2 years ago. When I stopped in to get some boiled peanuts at the local market, I was asked "Wet or Dry?". I had no clue. They explained that in the mountains, most folks dry the peanuts before boiling, a few boil green (fresh) peanuts. This market offered both. Green tastes best.

A roadtrip to FL isn't complete without boiled peanuts! I'm a native Atlantan and gnawed on boiled peanuts has a kid. My husband is a Damn Yankee (born in NY and stayed in the South) and he's slowly developed a taste for this redneck treat.

Born in ATL, but raised in Texas, and I wouldn't touch these things until I was an adult. Now I love them, but they have to be steaming hot.
Liz, if your husband likes boiled peanuts, he's no longer a Damn Yankee – just a Yankee, which we can deal with.

I can understand the turn-off some may experience from roadside boiled peanuts; they can be ghastly.
If you want good boiled peanuts, make them yourself!
Seriously, they are not that hard to do. You need a pressure cooker, water, salt and green peanuts. Make sure you use green peanuts that are slightly immature and have not been fully dried. These may be hard to find this time of year.
They are delicious when fresh out of the cooker — not slimy at all. My mother used to make them for us all the time with peanuts fresh from the garden. I'll have to see how all these gourmet versions stack up; I am dubious.

Born and raised in south GA – Atlantan for 20+ years … now that my Georgia street cred has been established …
My father's side of the family had a big cauldron of boiled peanuts at every family reunion. The reunions were always held in late fall, so the nights were cool enough to enjoy the open fire underneath the big, black cast iron cauldron filled to near overflowing with boiling peanuts. And my Great-Uncles and random other family members would sit around the fire and play music until the wee hours (they probably were nipping a little homemade sauce during that time, too, but they never let we children see it!).
I can vividly remember a mandolin, a big bass fiddle (country for almost-a-cello) and my Aunt Pam who (now that I think about it, was probably under the influence of above mentioned sauce) would get to dancing.
Yes yes yes – it's hokey and common and to most of you probably waaay too provencial (read, redneck or country or whatever you use to describe it) to appreciate – but it was my family life in the 70s. And now, any time I think about boiled peanuts (which I DO eat occasionally now), that memory is always punctuated with a longing for those reunions.
I'm excited about this (hopefully) resurgence of the boiled peanut! I'm kind of a traditionalist, in that flavorings and fancy-fying aren't needed but I'll certainly be giving Local Three's a try!
BTW – for all of you who think boiled peanuts are kept to the rural areas, there was for years a vendor at the corner of Ponce and Moreland who sold them daily, up until a few years ago.

Heathen! Delta's ready when you are!! Seriously, born and raised in So GA and been in Atlanta for 17 years and boiled peanuts are a favorite. It was the best when the season rolled a round and my dad would come home with green peanuts and put them in a huge pot on the stove. There'd be a huge mound of shells on the counter as we "monitored" them until they got to just the right texture and salinity. To this day, they are crack to me. As long as they are in front of me I will eat them.

I'm from the north, too, and I hated them at first. Then I found out that they've got to be hot. Charleston has a great location on 61 (on the way to the plantations) that's some guy in an old orange camper that has been there for years. I randomly stopped by and loved his version of cajun, with banana peppers in it. Found it — it is called Timbo's.

I'm not a native Georgian but a native Georgia helped me to understand boiled peanuts. She said once you've tried them you'll never again forget the peanut is a legume. She was right and I like them a lot.

The first time I got boiled peanuts in a restaurant was at Sushi House – not Hayakawa, but in the same space, back when it was the "Mr. Sushi-Hand-Chop-Guy" place. They served the peanuts in a little dish like edamame, as part of the ban chan that I received before my hwae dup bap. They really are similar to soybeans, and I like them. I also had them as part of a dish at Five and Ten, and I'm sure there are other places, but some of them have slipped my mind.
For another new take on a classic, try the pig ears at Purple Rain in Duluth. Delicious.

Thanks for the post – I love reading all the comments. Seems everybody who likes 'em has a special memory attached to them, including me. I live in VA and even though it's a big peanut-producing state too, I have a hard time finding green peanuts, but when I do I always get a bundle. Only the people way out in the country seem to know what "biled peanuts" are!

The Big Ketch gives out a can of boiled peanuts free. I has some pepper added. You can also buy a can of boiled peanuts at Publix. Dump them out and microwave them for about 1 minute — dump the juice out and run them under cold water to cool them to eating temp..

@Rodney…The boiled peanut is a staple for our family reunions as well. Every July in Vidalia, GA, we have a fish fry and peanut boil. It's just not a reunion without them. When my family temporarily moved to Texas, we could not find green peanuts. We could only get boiled peanuts in a can. Gross. Boiled peanuts are best when they are fresh, just a big pot of water, salt, and the peanuts.

I grew up in Georgia (my mom's from up north) and I have never had boiled peanuts until I went to college. What's weird about them is it tastes less like a snack and more like something you would find in a soup or a beef bisquet. Yet, they are amazing and I'm probably going to get a bag soon…..

1. People that are born and raised in Atlanta are only southern in their own minds. The rest of the south thinks ya'll are yankees. 2. Boiled peanuts are a wonderful treat but must be eaten fresh and hot from the pot(not the microwave).

I grew up in Birmingham and on trips through South Alabama to visit my grandmother, or going to the beach, it was a family tradition to pick up boiled peanuts at a roadside stand. I think they're great, but like them straight up: salt, peanuts and water. I use a pressure cooker to speed the process, and they freeze and reheat in the microwave perfectly as a snack.

Moved to ATL from Northern Virginia in 1968 when Dad was transferred here for his job. I am only remaining family member left in town, everyone else moved to warmer climates (yes, Texas and Florida). My grandparents had a vacatio cabin on Nottely Lake in Blairsville. Dad would take us there often in the spring and summer. Part of the ritual WAS eating boiled p-nuts on the drive up. I despised them when I was a child, but grew to love them muchly as an adult!
You don't have to wait for a road-side p-nut stand to get your fix of boiled p-nuts. You CAN make them at home. Here's what you need:
One LARGE (as big as you can find) stock pot
P-Nuts (wet or dry, your choice, I use dry)
Large box of kosher salt
(optonal: other seasonings to taste, but I prefer "virgin" p-nuts, salt only)
Fill your stock pot up with water and half the box of kosher salt (adding more salt later during the cooking process). Add p-nuts. Let them soak in the pot on the stove overnight (if you're using dry p-nuts). If you're using fresh, let them soak in the brine for a couple of hours, then turn on the heat full blast and boil for 2-6 hours (depending on what kind of p-nut you started with), taste testing your product periodically to ensure they are cooked to perfection. Using dry p-nuts takes longer, but I think you get a better product with them.
It should go without saying, if you're making boiled p-nuts at home, somebody MUST supervise the p-nuts once you turn on the heat. Otherwise you could burn your house down. Cooking at home requires many hours of boiling and at a fairly high temperature…leavin p-nuts alone and unsupervised could mean you end up homeless.
Good luck ya'll.

Boiled peanuts are not just a Georgia delicacy! I grew up in South Carolina and boiled peanuts were a treat enjoyed every fall. Fall of the year is when the peanuts are mature enough for harvesting. Peanut plants prefer a sandy, loam soil which is why they grow so well in south Georgia and the coastal plain of SC.
@Jenn B, you brought back memories of my own peanut monitoring when I was growing up. They had to be just the right texture with an adequate amount of saltiness. Ahhhh, childhood memories!

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida and in the black neighborhood we had a peanut man that came through every evening after school selling peanuts. The boiled peanuts in the Atlanta area are not the same as the ones down there. You have to buy the Florida Green Peanuts, and they are a different taste than the Georgia boiled peanuts. You can't get them year round but you can buy them and freeze them. Green peanuts aren't slimy and the shells are softer once cooked. You can buy them at local farmers markets in Georgia and sometimes they sell them at Publix and Kroger. I cook mine with sea salt and every now and then I add a little cayenne pepper but most of the time just the salt. Some one mentioned red neck food, no it's just a simple southern delicacy to enjoy while at a ball game or sitting on the porch and sometimes watching a movie.
I love this much better than popcorn.

I grew up in Savannah, 50 miles from my grandfather's farm. We would pick the peanuts and boil them the same day. Never had better. Never slimey or over salted. If you let them sit for days in the same water, that is what you end up with.
January 23rd, 2011

i find that i prefer my peanuts slightly less salty and less cooked as i have gotten older and i also add about 2 oz of apple cider vinegar per 1/2 gallon of water. my family reunions feature a huge cast iron pot filled with bushels of boiling peanuts all weekend to go with the pig, fresh corn on the cob, okra, fresh tomatoes, etc. it is not until the weekend after father's day and i am getting hungry just thinking about the food and the company.

When I was I boy no road trip to the lake or to the mountains was complete without boiled "goobers". Thats right, goobers is the proper term if ya want to get true southern with the subject. As a kid there is no snack more satisfying than one that allows you to chuck the remnants out of a moving car. And although there is no longer a boat to go to at Lake Lanier (hobie cat), the memories are only further justified through this unique snack. Best stop ever was on the way to Ellijay from Dawsonville right before hwy 53 splits off to hwy 183. The old man and his faithful dog Peanut may no longer be there to serve them goobers, but the shack still stands to this day.

I believe they're also on the menu at Empire State South.
LOVE 'EM. I make at home in a crock pot. So easy. I throw 'em in the night before whatever sporting event I'll be watching the next day and they're done by the time I get up the next morning. Although, i prefer mine very mushy and VERY salty. I throw in red pepper flakes and use nothing but Louisiana hot sauce.
I've seen some recipes call for Bay leaves and some garlic. Might try that next time.
It's a quaint, novel idea to have them on menus at nice places but I usually reserve them for home, backyard BBQ's, or tailgates.

DeKalb Frarmers Market has good green peanuts. Often, I find them in the produce section at Publix. A cast iron dutch oven does a great job. Takes about three hours IN a 300 degree oven – not on the top. The moisture doesn't escape from the heavy lid. You can pretty much forget about them while they're cooking. A packet of crab boil will make some nice, cajun-spiced ones. Otherwise, just salt. If you get them too salty, you can drain the liquid and reboil them in fresh water.

For those looking for green/raw peanuts, try the local farmers' markets. I have occasionally found them at Kroger, but rarely.
I'm from D.C., and I got started on boiled peanuts (which I at first HATED) when I craved them while I was pregnant. I bought them canned from the grocery store. They come regular and Cajun. While they aren't the best I've had, they aren't the worst…and the satisfied my craving. Now my son makes them frequently (I was pg with him when I craved them…any connection? LOL). He puts a huge pot on the stove with just water, salt and raw peanuts, and cooks them all day. They are always great. It's an acquired taste…and takes awhile to get "used" to them.

The secret to good boiled peanuts is they must be made with green peanuts (before they are finshed growing). Growing in the Atlanta area, when ever fall arrived, my family would drive up to Helen (many times!). We would always stop at JAEMORE Farms on Hwy 365 N on the way to get those boiled peanuts. Now that I am grown I keep trying boiled peanuts when ever I see them. I think JAEMORE has the best I have tasted. Now I need to try that place in Oak Grove!

Chili powder et al–it should be ILLEGAL to do that to boiled peanuts.
To get good ones, you generally have to go to the panhandle of Florida, or find someone from there. Some folks on the east side of Athens 20 years ago made some fine ones. Turned out they were from the panhandle. My mom always used to tell of her Daddy giving them 25 c each Saturday to go to the movies. They could pay to get in and get a bag of boiled peanuts for 25 c. They would eat the peanuts and suck the shells. Heavenly!
I remember introducing my then-2 year old to them. She didn't understand that you didn't eat the shucks.

My wife buys raw peanuts from Publix and cooks them in a slow cooker, can control the salt and degree of cooking that way. They are the best I have eve had. Took a few tries to get it right, but now awesome. Each batch is a bit different in cooking time, guess that it is a function of how dried they are, so have to keep sampling as you go.

I have fond memories of the whole family sitting around and pulling the nuts off the plant after pulling up the peanut plants in the field all day. I'm sure it automated now days, but that was hard work back in the day.

A year is just not complete without a good supply of boiled peanuts in the freezer for year round snacking.
I usually boil two bushels every year, put tem in quart plastic bags, stack them in the freezer, reserve some for me, and share the rest with friends and family. I've never had anyone hesitate to accept them and most ask, "Can I get more later?"
I can't imagine that adding any flavorings or spices can possibly improve them. I only use water and salt and they taste great.
I have never seen or eaten a slimy peanut like one of the posters experienced.

"Yeah?" Jennifer replied.
"I think I like Frank." Jasmine said, blushing.
"Then tell him!" Jennifer said, before adding "I have hunch that he may like you,too!"
Later on
Frank had agreed to talk to Jasmine that afternoon. The gang had agreed to not spy on them. Of course, they did so anyways. What kind of friends would they be if they didn't?
"Hey, Jasmine?" Frank asked.
"Yeah, Frank?" Jasmine said.
"I want to tell you that..."
Gerard, Mikey, Ray, Bob, and Jennifer were behind a bush, listening to see if Frank would tell her.
"Say it..." Ray whispered.
"Come on, Frank!" Gerard said, twirling the boa around his neck.
"Where did you get the boa from?" Jennifer asked, her hand full of candy.
"Where did you get the candy from?" Gerard asked.
"That..." Frank said, getting nervous.
"Do it!" Jennifer whispered.
"That you're a great friend and you'll always be my good friend!" Frank said, quickly.
"Awww!" the gang moaned, behind the bush. He didn't tell her.
Present time/ 5 years later
"Wanna go to a party?" Jennifer asked Jasmine.
"I'm bored. This is a chance to fuck shit up! I'm in." Jasmine said. Most 10th grade parties were pretty awesome, if you were as daring as Jasmine was. And with the gang, they were a whole mafia of trouble.
Jasmine got ready while Jennifer called each and every one of the guys, telling them to come along. Jennifer stayed on the phone with Bob the longest. Jasmine had to bitch slap the phone out of her hand in order to get Jennifer to stop talking to him.
"It's for your own good." Jasmine had told her.
When they arrived at the party, the guys were already there. The house looked familiar to asmine and Jennifer.
"Who's house is this?" Jasmine asked.
"Some girl named Carly Rae Jepson's house." Ray said, shrugging.
"THIS IS THE HOUSE WE WERE ABOUT TO EGG LAST YEAR!" Jennifer exclaimed.
"But then she came out and started singing some annoying pop song about calling her maybe." Jasmine said.
"Let's go steal some shit from her in her basement!" Jennifer said.
They all headed towards the basement. The guys didn't know why they were going to steal from her, but hey. They vowed to fuck shit up.
"OHMYGOSH THEY HAVE CANDY!" Jennifer exclaimed, running towards the shelves and stuffing her pockets with candy.
"THEY HAVE BOAS!" Gerard exclaimed.
Frank and Jasmine headed towards the closet.
"They have awesome shit in here!" Frank said, leaving the door open.
"I know!" Jasmine said, looking at Frank.
They both stare at each other, each feeling the urge to kiss. All of a sudden, the door slams shut, startling them both. They're both trapped in the closet.
"Let us out!" Franks screamed.
"Not until you confess shit" Ray said.
"And kiss." Gerard added.
"Oh good god." Jasmine said "JENNIFER,LET ME OUT OR ELSE I'M TELLING BOB!"
"It'll be worth it!" she shouted back.
"JENNIFER LIKES YOU,BOB!" Jasmine shouted.
"That isn't going to get you out of the closet!" Bob shouted.
"It's true!" Jasmine said.
She heard some whispering, and could picture Jennifer blushing like mad. Jasmine laughed at the thought.
"You look pretty when you smile." Frank blurted.
"Thanks, Frank!" Jasmine said, blushing.
"You look pretty all the time..." he said, shocked at the words that came out of his mouth.
"Frank, I have a confession..." Jasmine said.
"No, me first! I've liked you for 5 years. Ever since the 5th grade." Frank said "What's your confession.
"I like you, too." Jasmine replied.
Frank wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. Little did they know, the group was looking through the keyhole of the closet door. The door suddenly burst open.
"It's about freaking time!" Bob said, his arm wrapped around Jennifer's waist.
"We could say the same for you." Jasmine said, looking at Bob and Jennifer.
"Well, it's good not to have all of this sexual tension in our group anymore!" Mikey said.
"Hello?" a voice screeched from the top of the stairs.
"Holy shit!" Ray exclaimed.
"Get the candy!" Jennifer said.
"And the boas!" Gerard exclaimed.
They gathered everything and slipped out from the basement's back door.
"That was close!" Mikey said.
"Yep, it was!" Jasmine said.
"We're doing this again someday." Frank said.
And, instead of having a bachelorette party the day before her and Frank's wedding, they stole from the same house. Nothing had changed at all.
They still stole candy and boas.

Authorities are searching for two men whom they say burst into an Orange County hair salon, pointed guns at customers' heads and robbed them Sunday night.Sheriff's deputies say patrons of the PCL Hair Salon on 45th Street near Orange Blossom Trail were forced to get down on the floor as they were robbed of money and cell phones at gunpoint."There is no doubt this was a traumatic event for these people," Lt. Paul Hopkins said. "The fact they were armed with guns, pointing them at people, pointing them at their heads and taking this afternoon and ruining it for a lot of people and traumatizing a lot of people is just not right," Hopkins said.No one was seriously hurt.

The ten best films of the 1890s
The very first days of motion pictures in the 1890s were some busy days for filmmakers. This brand new medium could express more than a still photo and it was cheaper and quicker than putting on a stage play. As soon as film was invented, it quickly became a big deal. So what were the best films of the 1890s?
The woman above is Clelia Duel Mosher, the first person to do a survey of the sexual habits of American women. From 1890 to 1920, she did periodic interviews with 45 women, asking them questions that women of the time didn't dare to talk about in public. The results were never published anywhere, and Mosher's work wasn't discovered until 1973, shedding light on a period of time when women didn't talk about sex and didn't admit to enjoying it.
The late 19th century, also known as the time when the US had the most awesome paper money in the world
Even with all of the changes to the look of American paper money in the past decade or so, it still seriously lags behind the rest of the world in the awesome money quotient. But in the late 1800s, the US had some seriously badass paper, with huge, intricate and beautiful scenes from Greek myth and it just screamed "THIS IS THE FUCKING LAND OF LIBERTY MOTHERFUCKER".
Music on your phone? That's soooo 1890s
We think we're all sorts of hot shit these days because we can pull out our phone and listen to music, but people have been trying to pair telephones and music ever since the telephone was invented.
Harvard entrance exam from 1899 will make you feel like a complete moron
A lot of colleges have been dumbed down a bit over the years, but if you were a student in 1899 trying to get into Harvard, you would have had to pass the following entrance exam, recently uncovered by the New York Times. And you'd better hope that you have a solid foundation in the classics, since education in the late 1800s was built on studying lots and lots of Greek and Latin and their respective histories.

2013 Wedding dress trends
Trend: Blush wedding dresses
Shades of blush—whether peach-hued or outright pink—were big on the Fall 2013 bridal runway. Traditional white wedding dresses don't flatter everyone's skin tone, so it's a lovely option to have, as well as soft and feminine. "It's an alternative to white, but still looks like a wedding dress," says Brides Fashion Director Rachel Leonard.

Last season's runways saw plenty of lace, and this time around, the soft, romantic trend continues—although with freer, less figure-conscious silhouettes. "It's a little bit of an English influence, especially with the popularity of Downton Abbey," says Leonard. "It's very innocent—romantic, not sexy."

The Pistons last night lost for the second time this week to Orlando as the short-handed Magic pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 104-to-91 win over Detroit at the Palace.

Manik Sarkar (Bengali: মাণিক সরকার Bengali Pronunciation: Manik Shôrkar; born 22 January 1949) is an Indian politician who has been Chief Minister of Tripura since March 1998. He is a Politburo Member of Communist Party of India (Marxist).[1][2] In March 2008, he was sworn in as leader of Left Front, the Tripura coalition government.[3] In assembly elections held in 2013, he became the chief minister for the fourth consecutive time.
Manik Sarkar donates his CM salary and allowances to his party, which pays him 5000 (US$82) as subsistence allowances.[4] His affidavit for the 2013 Tripura Assembly election revealed that he may well be the one with lowest monetary resources of all Chief Ministers of India.[5][6]
Early life and background[edit]
Manik Sarkar was born in a middle-class family in Radhakishorepur, near Udaipur, Tripura on January 22, 1949.[7] His father's name was Amulya Sarkar, who worked as a tailor and his mother was Anjali Sarkar, who was a State(Province) government employee.[8] Sarkar was active in student movements since his student days. At the age of 19, in 1968, he became a member of one of the major political parties of India, the Communist Party of India (Marxist). He graduated with a B.Com degree from MBB College and was a candidate of the Students' Federation of India throughout his academic life at MBB College.[9] He jumped headlong into the students movement during his early academic career at the turbulent times of the food movement of 1967 against the then Congress government of Tripura. It was his vital and vigorous role in this mass movement that inducted him into the CPI (M) of which he became a member in 1968.[10] Due to his early political exposure, he was also the General Secretary of MBB College Student Union. During his college days, he was also made the Vice President of the Students' Federation of India. In 1972, he was inducted into the Communist Party of India (Marxist) State Committee, at the age of 23.[9]
Political career[edit]
Six years after being selected in the CPI (M) State Committee, Sarkar was included in the party state Secretariat in the year 1978. This was also the year when the first Left Front government had taken control in Tripura. In 1980, at the age of 31, he was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly from the Agartala constituency. This was the start of Manik Sarkar's leadership in his state.[11] At around the same time, he was appointed as the Chief Whip of the CPI (M). His success as the Member of the Legislative Assembly returned in 1983, when he was elected to the Assembly from Krishnanagar, Agartala.[7] When the Left Front government took control in 1993, Sarkar was appointed as the State Secretary of the CPI (M). The biggest success came to Manik Sarkar in 1998. At the age of 49, he became a member of the politburo of the CPI (M), which is the principal policy-making and executive committee in a Communist party.[11][12] In the same year, he became the Chief Minister of the state of Tripura. Since then, he has been elected to the same position for four consecutive times in 15 years [11] He is one of the very few chief Ministers in India who are in the office for such a long period of time.
Personal life[edit]
Manik Sarkar is married to Panchali Bhattacharya, who has retired from Central Social Welfare Board in 2011. Sarkar and his wife live a very simple life. He is the only Chief Minister in India who has no house or a car on his name. Even his wife takes a rickshaw while traveling, with no personal security guards.[13] Sarkar donates his full salary that he receives as a Chief Minister to his party and in return, gets Rs. 5,000 (approximately $77 USD) per month as his allowance. Some official sources list his monthly salary as the lowest salary among all the Chief Ministers in India. Sarkar has often be called the "cleanest and the poorest Chief Minister in the country". He has enjoyed a corruption-free image even among his critics.[14] In 2008, Sarkar's cash in hand and bank deposits totalled Rs.16,120. According to his latest election affidavit, this amount has come down to Rs.10,800. After the death of his mother Anjali Sarkar in 2009, Sarkar inherited a small house in Agartala. He donated it to a kin.[15]

Does that mean the film is a failure? No. Although Gus is one-dimensional, fans of Eastwood should leave sated. The actor hasn't starred in a film since 2008's Gran Torino, but his screen presence remains as sturdy as ever. He's using his advancing years to portray characters in the twilight of their lives, grappling with the diminution of skills and talents that become apparent with old age. Gus is well suited to Eastwood's screen persona, which requires the timely delivery of few words (although Gus's character tic of grunting pales in comparison's to Tom Hardy's similar character tic in the recent Lawless).
Better is Adams, who brings spunk and spitfire to the role of Mickey, wounded in childhood by events she still hasn't fully processed and could never understand. Her rapprochement with her father is warm and effective, but getting to that point requires patience.
Trouble With the Curve is a game whose outcome seems like a foregone conclusion from the beginning. The players will deliver as expected, maybe even spark to life for a few plays, but the final score won't be much of a surprise. Although nothing in the film is risible enough to generate walkouts, it offers little to keep us glued to our seats. When, late in the film, a character says, "Don't be afraid to walk away," viewers might wonder if the advice is directed toward them.
- Language/Profanity: Lord's name taken in vain numerous times; several uses of foul language; "hell"; the "F"-word; reference to male sex organ
- Alcohol/Smoking/Drugs: A spectator drinks and yells at players on the field; several scenes at a bar include drinking and smoking; some additional scenes of smoking; Gus drinks beer with his pizza and pours beer in a glass at his wife's grave
- Sex/Nudity: A man urinates; a young player tells his teammates he plans to have sex with many women after he's recruited; crude "your momma" jokes; Gus knocks on Mickey's door and asks if she has a man in her room; Johnny strips to his underwear before going for a swim, and Mickey removes her pants but leaves her underwear and top on
- Violence/Crime: Gus attacks a man who's coming on to his daughter; a car accident; a man is beaten and strangled
- Marriage/Religion: Gus is a widower; Mickey says she takes yoga, which her father describes as "voodoo"; she jokes that she's going to get "666" tattooed on her forehead

5 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min.
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1-1/4 cups crushed sesame snack crackers (about 38 crackers)
1-1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
In a shallow bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Place crackers
in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in mayonnaise mixture, then
coat with cracker crumbs.
Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes
on each side or until chicken is no longer pink. Yield: 5 servings.

Re:um (381 comments)
Just because he hasn't been convicted in this current case, doesn't mean he isn't a convicted felon.
In 1994, he was arrested by German police for trafficking in stolen phone calling card numbers. He was held in custody for a month, released and arrested again on additional hacking charges shortly afterwards. He was eventually convicted of 11 counts of computer fraud, 10 counts of data espionage, and an assortment of other charges. He received a two-year suspended sentence – because he was under age at the time the crimes were committed.[29] The judge in the case said the court viewed his actions as "youthful foolishness."[30]
In 2001, Schmitz bought €375,000 worth of shares of the nearly bankrupt company Letsbuyit.com (de) and subsequently announced his intention to invest €50 million in the company.[31] The announcement caused the share value of Letsbuyit.com to jump[32] and Schmitz cashed out, making a profit of €1.5 million. One commentator suggested that Schmitz may have been ignorant of the legal ramifications of what he had done, since insider trading was not made a crime in Germany until 1995,[29] and until 2002 prosecutors also had to prove the accused had criminal intent.[33]
Schmitz moved to Thailand to avoid investigation[12] where he was subsequently arrested on behalf of German authorities.[30] In response, he allegedly pretended to kill himself online, posting a message on his website that from now on he wished to be known as "His Royal Highness King Kimble the First, Ruler of the Kimpire".[30][34] He was deported back to Germany where he pleaded guilty to embezzlement in November 2003 and, after five months in jail awaiting trial, again received a suspended sentence (of 20 months).[33] After avoiding a prison sentence for a second time, he left Germany and moved to Hong Kong in late 2003.[12]

text: One of Lublin`s oldest churches, typically associated with the relics of the Holy Cross, the wonderful Baroque architecture and the unique interior monuments relating the city`s tragedies and triumphs. Founded by King Casimir the Great in 1342 and originally Gothic in style, the basilica now has a new, Baroque look it achieved in a reconstruction after the great fire in 1575. The three-nave interior is surrounded by 11 chapels, richly furnished by well-to-do founders in Baroque sculpture, easel and mural paintings and uncommon architectural details decorating the interior of the naves. The oldest among them include: the late Gothic painting of Our Lady with a Fruit, the tomb of Mikołaj and Piotr Firlej from the workshop of Gianmaria Padovano and an unusual iconographic document from 1719: the Fire of the City of Lublin.
