reporting bias - is it the bbc or the groaniad?
"The Guardian: 211,511 [copies] of which the BBC, including its staff, purchased 59,829" allegedly.
The comments are more interesting than the linked article.
" 'Hello, it's the BBC here. We'd like you to come on our programme and be angry, ranting and preferably racist.'
"All right, that's not exactly how they put it, but they might as well. In the past six months, I've been asked on air to attack gay marriage, Lords reform and Sayeeda Warsi. The conversation always goes the same way. When it becomes clear that I'm not going to ham up the part of an irascible and incoherent Right-winger, they researcher breaks in impatiently with: "Right, let me just have a quick word with my editor and I'll get back to you."
"Newsnight and the Today programme are far more pluralist than they used to be."
Oh yes. Then why do Gavin Esler and Kirsty Wark spend all the time in any interview with a Conservative trying to shout them down?
Mr Hannan, there is no need to praise the Guardian as "a very fine newspaper: high-minded, articulate, a touch self-righteous, but no less readable for that".
In fact, the Guardian is a rag that is consistently sick, depraved, socialist and crude. So why not say so?

After a run of four straight Division 2 state championships, the boys' tennis team lost to Hingham last year in the finals.
On Wednesday, they reclaimed the throne with a 5-0 win over south champion Sharon (19-1) at Lexington High School.
"Last year left a bitter taste in our mouths, and we didn't want it to happen again," Winchester coach Tobe Okoye said. "It feels amazing. Everyone came out here and really stepped it up."
Winchester (20-2), the No. 1 seed from the North sectional, got off to a hot start with two quick wins at first and second doubles.
"We got the momentum on our side, and we didn't look back," Okoye said.
Winchester's Erik Meiler and Alex Saich teamed up at first doubles to take down Sharon's Eric Bloom and Jake Steinberg in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2. At second doubles, the Winchester duo of Mike Lauretano and Matt Roll defeated Sharon's Dan Elfman and Kevin Lee by the same score.
After the early doubles wins, Winchester senior Ben Davis clinched the team victory with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Sharon senior Brad Malenich.
Davis said he was thinking about last year's state finals loss during the match.
"It was definitely on my mind," he said. "With all the people here, it really reminded me of it."
At first singles, Winchester senior Christian Boulanger beat Sharon junior Vivek Nangia 6-0, 7-5. Boulanger rallied back from a 4-1 second-set deficit to win in straight sets.
Winchester's Jake Criss defeated Sharon junior Aditya Puttigampala in a third-set tiebreaker at third singles to seal the 5-0 sweep.
Playing alongside the boys' team was the Winchester High girls' tennis team, which defeated south champion Hopkinton to capture its fifth-straight Division 2 state title and its 114th consecutive win overall.

GREENVILLE Four years after the Moonlight fire roared through 65,000 acres of forest near this Plumas County town, the damage continues to sear the rural community.
A local logger is challenging the U.S. Forest Service about logs removed from the burned area.
How this dispute is resolved could affect the economic future of this timber-dependent town, and local leaders are waiting on the outcome of a meeting today between the logger and the agency's regional forester to try to resolve the issue.
Randy Pew, owner of the logging company that bought the charred timber, has criticized the Forest Service for "grossly erroneous estimates" of the quantity and quality of the material he harvested to sell to a local sawmill.
The agency overestimated the volume of marketable logs by as much as 90 percent, Pew said.
In August, he filed a claim with the Forest Service for partial damages totaling $375,725. He plans to file another one claiming damages of an additional $1 million or more, he said.
"Their estimates were off by thousands of truckloads of logs," said Pew. He was recognized by the Forest Resources Association as national outstanding logger of 2001.
Forest Service officials in California have rejected Pew's claim, citing loggers' responsibility to make their own estimates of the material available before submitting bids to buy it.
An independent review, conducted by a forester with the Forest Service in Oregon, upheld the findings of agency officials in California. While his Dec. 16 report cites "likely" underestimates of the incense cedar harvested, Steven R. Nelson found no mistakes made by Plumas National Forest officials.
That leaves Pew facing the threat of bankruptcy.
If the Forest Service refuses to acknowledge its estimate errors and share the losses over harvesting the timber burned in the Moonlight fire, Pew Forest Products will be out of business, he said.
"I'm at the end of my rope," said Pew, who has been buying Forest Service timber for 34 years.
Pew Forest Products is the largest private employer in Indian Valley and plays a significant role in Plumas County's timber-based economy.
If Pew's company goes down, it will take 30 local jobs with it. The ripple effect would hurt other businesses and local schools, already threatened with closures due to declining enrollment.
"I want to save my home and my life, but I'm also worried about all these people and my community," Pew said.
Plumas Forest officials are sympathetic with Pew's plight and its potential for far-reaching effects, said Laurence Crabtree, deputy forest supervisor.
"This company has treated thousands of acres of ground for this forest and the public. We need companies like this for fuels management and timber harvesting," Crabtree said.
Although they disagree on the issues, Crabtree said he respects Pew's campaign to keep his business alive: "He's fighting for his company and his way of life. He and his family are hardworking people who feel strongly about their community and their profession."
Pew was the only bidder on a 7 million board-foot sale of trees along 21 miles of road within the Moonlight burn. The contract allowed him to log additional areas and Pew eventually harvested around 37 million board feet enough wood for building 3,700 single-family houses.
The terms of the contract emphasized the responsibility of the bidder to make his own evaluation of the quantity and condition of timber in the additional areas, Crabtree said. The agency expects bidders to "go out there and look for themselves" rather than to depend on Forest Service estimates, he said.
Pew said years of experience with agency estimates of timber volume have given him confidence in them, so he did not make his own estimates.
"We trusted them. I had no reason to believe the Forest Service volumes would be off," he said.
But the trees he logged by helicopter last winter had deteriorated in the three years since the fire. The poor quality of the cedar forced him to cover twice the ground and devote four months to a logging operation he expected to take six weeks, he said.
Pew estimated that he spent around $10 million for work that should have cost half that amount.
While the Forest Services uses scientific tables to estimate deterioration by species, it has no table for cedar, the species with the most economic value, Crabtree said.
Pew said the agency's estimates for the value of the cedar he logged were off by as much as 90 percent.
"Cedar was my hope to survive, and it just killed me," he said.
Crabtree said the agency's depreciation evaluation process was appropriate.
Left in a standoff with the Forest Service, Pew has taken his case to politicians. The Plumas County Board of Supervisors has sent letters supporting him to Tom Tidwell, chief of the Forest Service, as well as the county's federal representatives.
He is scheduled to meet today with Regional Forester Randy Moore.
Crabtree declined to speculate on what might result from the meeting between Moore and Pew. "Let's just let Randy and Randy talk," he said.
Meanwhile, two jury trials later this year will determine who should assume financial responsibility for the fire.
About 2,500 firefighters were involved in fighting the Moonlight fire, which destroyed two structures and five outbuildings. Both the Forest Service and Cal Fire are seeking damages for the costs of suppressing the blaze, estimated at $31.5 million.
Defendants in the separate cases include Sierra Pacific industries, W.M. Beatty and Associates; Howell's Forest Harvesting; and several individuals.
A federal jury trial is scheduled for April 16 in the Eastern District of U.S. District Court in Sacramento.
The Cal Fire case is scheduled for an Aug. 14 jury trial in Quincy.

WALLA WALLA -- Walla Walla County unemployment dropped in March to 8.1 percent despite weakness in most sectors, Washington's Employment Security Department reported in its latest county-by-county figures, released April 24.
The jobless rate was down from February's 8.6 percent, which also was the rate in March 2011.
Regional labor economist Arum Kone said the number of unemployed residents in the area decreased, but so did the number of employed people.
Between February and March nonfarm employment decreased 250 jobs, or about 1.1 percent.
Kone said total private employment dropped by 190 jobs. The service sector decreased by 180 jobs.
Government declined by 60 jobs, most of which were at the state level, and private education lost 110 jobs.
He said manufacturing, retail sales and health care remained strong.
Columbia County posted an 11.6 percent unemployment rate for March, down from 12.3 percent in February.
Garfield County's March rate was up to 8.6 percent from 8.3 percent the previous month.
Statewide unemployment in March remained flat at 8.3 percent, although 3,300 jobs were added for a third consecutive month of growth.
Oregon's unemployment rate also was stagnant at 8.6 percent, down one-tenth of a percentage point from February.
U.S. unemployment in March fell to 8.2 percent, down from 8.3 percent in February and 8.8 percent a year ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The University of Virginia's Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball report out Thursday morning shows one change among projections in races of local interest. In Kentucky's Sixth Congressional District, the Crystal Ball report is changing its rating from "Leans Democratic" to "Toss-Up."
In KY-6, Republican challenger Andy Barr is closing in on Democrat Ben Chandler. The district looks ripe for a takeover, with a relatively new Democratic congressman forced onto the defensive in a district that gave Obama just 43% of the vote in 2008. The DCCC has begun running tough ads on Barr, a sign of their concern but also a test for the first-time GOP candidate. Barr's camp touts a poll from early October showing him in the lead by the narrowest of margins, but Chandler's side counters that they are still in front. In the end, the question is moot, as all that matters is who leads three weeks from now, with plenty of twists and turns in store.
The ratings in other local races are unchanged:
U.S. Senate
KY Senate: Leans Republican (Paul-R vs. Conway-D)
IN Senate: Likely Republican (Coats-R vs. Ellsworth-D)
For now, we are raising (by one seat) the likely Republican Senate gain, from +7-8 to +8-9. This was the level at which we had the GOP before its disaster in Delaware.
U.S. House
KY 1st Congressional District: Safe Republican (Whitfield-R vs. Hatchett-D)
KY 2nd Congressional District: Safe Republican (Guthrie-R vs. Marksberry-D)
KY 3rd Congressional District: Likely Democrat (Yarmuth-D vs. Lally-R)
KY 4th Congressional District: Safe Republican (Davis-R vs. Waltz-D)
KY 5th Congressional District: Safe Republican (Rogers-R vs. Holbert-D)
KY 6th Congressional District: Toss-Up (Chandler-D vs. Barr-R)
IN 9th Congressional District: Toss-Up (Hill-D vs. Young-R)
We have not changed our projection of +47 Republican net House seats in many weeks.

One of the most popular Halloween costume is that of the ghost. Children and adults alike love dressing up as these spirits and haunting their own homes during this yearly event. However, how did the ghost become such a prevalent theme for Halloween? Why do we enjoy dressing in these costumes every year?
Ghost stories are one of America's favorite past times, especially during Halloween. The telling of ghost stories on Halloween derives from both the Druidic belief that the ancestral dead arise on this night and the Christian faith to honor the souls of the departed. It is a universal human trait to bring the dead back through the telling of stories.
American ghost stories evolved from actual superstitions and rituals practiced by those in the British Isles on Halloween.

A good test of an electronic band is its ability to put on a show that's unique from its records, and for the third time within a year, Phantogram passed that test.
Call Phantogram the anti-electro-pop band. When they hit the stage, Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter trade off on vocals, guitars, keys and various synth pads. They're backed by a drummer and bassist and Barthel's energy rivals most punk bands, or, say, Sleigh Bells' Alexis Krauss. With all the band's electronics and studio magic, Phantogram is a live act through and through, not only transferring their highly technical sound to the stage, but also the atmosphere of a live band. You know, with instruments and personalities.
Fall is here, and with it, yet another round of albums we've been waiting all year for. Though Kendrick Lamar's new LP likely won't see a release until late this year if not 2015, there's still plenty to be excited for from the likes of Big K.R.I.T., Ariel Pink and a few lesser known entities.
Read along as we countdown our 10 most anticipated albums of fall 2014 below. Share your short list in the comments section, and we'll tell you what we think.
By Matt Miller and John Wenzel
As the fertile summer-concert season fades into the shadows of downtown clubs and arenas, we thought it only right to look back on 2014's festival lineup, given that it was one of the most crowded and controversial Colorado has seen.
Many festivals improved upon previous showings; others stirred the ire of their planned staging grounds.
Byers residents voted out the punk-leaning Riot Fest, which finished up earlier this week at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. City Park area residents raised objections to the brand-new Chive Fest, which shut down part of the public park and charged up to $70 for tickets. In the wake of Winter Park kicking out the Snowball Festival last year, it felt like a quorum on community tolerance, art and commerce.
Were they all warranted and worth the price? What was it like to be on the ground? Read on for a representative (but by no means comprehensive) wrap-up of the 2014 summer festival season.

25 only? Wow, that brings up a lot of issues.
Hopefully it will add you to the group as soon as you queue and give you the green button to zone in when ready, as opposed to the natural extension of the current LFG (requiring 25 simultaneous check-ins in order to insta-port everyone).
I also wonder whether they should give everyone invite privileges - you could fill the group quicker, but it might do more harm than good.
Will it require that no one queueing be saved to any boss in that raid?
How large a group will be able to queue? If 24 of us form up for a raid, will we get more loot for taking on 1 stranger?
Will a 10-man be able to join the LFR 25 queue while in a different 10-man? ("Hey guys, let's go to BWD 10, and see how far we get before the queue for Throne 25 pops.")
This is just the tip of the iceberg...

Original BBJ3 Platform Was 757-200/300
The original BBJ3, which was proposed in early 2000, was going to be a 7,000-nm aircraft based on the 757-200 fuselage and 757-300 wing. But the project was shelved in late 2001, a victim of cost reductions at Boeing, according to then BBJ president Lee Monson.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Colossians 3:23-24
At the heart of the Civil War was a large portion of free people who concluded that slavery shouldn't be. Colonel Joshua L. Chamberlain was one of those men. In the movie Gettysburg he says, "This is a different kind of army. If you look back through history, you'll see men fighting for pay, for women, for some other kind of loot. They fight for land, power, because a king leads them, or just because they like killing. But we are here for something new. This has not happened much in the history of the world. We are an army out to set other men free."
Throughout history, God has been calling men and women to give of themselves so others can be free. Are you willing to make sacrifices for others?
"For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice — no paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service."- John Burroughs (1837-1921)

ADHD in Children Health Center
Sharing a Diagnosis: When You and Your Child Have ADHD
ADHD in Children vs. Adults continued...
So what are the telltale adult ADHD symptoms?
- Attention problems. Many adults with ADHD say that they're easily distracted by noise or activity. But it's not really that adults with ADHD actually have a deficit – a lack – of attention, says Adler. They may focus intensely on certain things that interest them but are less able to pay attention to tasks that are dull or too complex.
- Disorganization & procrastination. Adults with ADHD often have trouble starting tasks and put them off until the last minute, regardless of the consequences. They run late and lose track of time.
- Forgetfulness. Some adults with ADHD lead obviously chaotic lives, forgetting and misplacing everything. Others may do well in most ways but get tripped up by details. An employee might do good work on a project, but then get in trouble for not filling out her timesheet. A college student might spend all night on a paper, but then forget to bring it to class.
- Restlessness & impulsivity. Adults with ADHD may not be jumping around like hyperactive kids, but they could have other problems. They might make rash decisions or blurt out things without thinking. They might interrupt people because they have trouble waiting their turn to speak. They might fidget or bounce their knees when sitting.
Keep in mind that not everyone with ADHD will have all these symptoms. There's also a lot of variation in the severity. Some people just have mild ADHD symptoms and do all right, while others will be severely impaired.
Impact of Adult ADHD
The consequences of adult attention deficit disorder are numerous. "ADHD has a ripple effect," says Ramsay. "It impairs many aspects of your life, from your relationship with your spouse, to your role as a parent, to your job." The results can be serious.
"ADHD is not a benign disorder," says Adler. He points out that adults with ADHD have higher rates of divorce, unemployment, substance abuse, and even car accidents.
"The effects of ADHD even extend to the pocketbook," says James McCracken, MD, director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at UCLA's Semel Institute in Los Angeles. "When compared with people who have the same type of jobs, adults with ADHD make significantly less money."
But most of these adults never get an ADHD diagnosis. Many don't consider the possibility, so they never ask about it. Doctors may not help much, either.
"Unfortunately, more or less the entire medical and professional community – internists, adult psychiatrists and psychologists – have almost no background in the diagnosis or treatment of adult ADHD," says McCracken. As a result, the majority are never diagnosed, and fewer than three out of four adults with ADHD are getting any treatment.
So what happens to these people? They may try to get help, but wind up misdiagnosed. They may be prescribed antidepressants or anti-anxiety medicines. In some cases, these drugs may help a bit -- many people with ADHD have overlapping depression or anxiety. Others might be told by their doctors to go into counseling – maybe for job skills training or couples therapy. But in all of these cases, the core underlying problem is missed.

I absolutely love this..., December 3, 2010
I absolutely love this nib and use it daily to address envelopes and do lettering. It's very flexible, so if you have a heavy hand it might not be the nib for you.... it's like night and day between this one and the Nikko G nib. That one is so stiff.
I just ordered a bottle..., September 6, 2009
I just ordered a bottle of this for my girlfriend and myself. She couldn't wait to get home to write with it and nor could I after receiving it in the mail and delivering it to her right away. The NEXT day in the mail, I got a copper envelope addressed in this WHITE ink! It is so nice! I love the way it sits up on the paper and is glossy. It takes a little longer to dry...right out of the bottle, not diluted at all, but it has such a nice effect on black paper. Its' very opaque. I used it with a calligraphy dip nib/pen and found it to flow very easily and make very crisp lines. The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't give the TINIEST, hairlines like some inks do, but they are pretty fine. I'd give it 5 "stars" if that were the case, but other than that, I think it's perfect for what I want to use it for. I can't wait to try it on glass and other materials like it said you could use it for. I will refer this to all of my other calligraphy friends in Texas and in the country! Trish Taylor

This pen is so fine and the ink lasts a long time. I've ordered several and friends all love it. You have to have a light touch, though, and not press too hard!
I love these pens for..., July 17, 2009
I love these pens for fine tuning watercolors and for making very, very thin lines. I use them, also to fill in very small gaps that my calligraphy pen left. LOVE it!!!! The Signo .18 is also a great pen.... even smaller than this one if you can believe that! This is needle fine.

HAMPTON-The Hampton University men's basketball team picked up its first conference win of the season Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, defeating Florida A&M 72-62.
The Pirates (4-5, 1-0 MEAC) have won back-to-back games.

Junior center Emmanuel Okoroba added 10 points and seven rebounds. Sophomore guard Dwight Meikle grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.
The Rattlers had control early, leading 17-9 at the 10:13 mark after a layup from Muhammad Abdul-Aleem, but the Pirates answered with a 16-6 run to take a 25-23 lead on a jumper from Powers with 3:55 left in the half.
A FAMU free throw cut the lead to 25-24, before the Pirates jumped out to a 32-26 lead with 1:29 left in the half following a 3-point play from Okoroba. Meikle added a jumper with 45 seconds left in the half to put Hampton up 34-28.

Peru Travel GuideWhen to visit Peru
Deciding when to visit Peru can be difficult because the country covers three major geographic and climatic zones. It is split north to south by the Andes Mountains and is covered by the Amazon Jungle in the east. The country generally experiences two seasons: a wet season from November through March and a dry season from April through October. Most leisure travelers come to Peru from June through September during the dry season, which is the best time for hiking the Inca Trail (a four-day hike that only allows 500 people a day) and Machu Picchu because the sky is clear. The dry season is also the best time to visit the jungle. For visits to the coast, however, the best time is November through March when the weather is hot and perfect for the beach. The country sees peaks in demand during the Christmas and Easter holidays. The city of Cuzco attracts many visitors for the week-long festivities of Inti Raymi in June. read more

Who ever heard of a non-profit winery? The first time the folks at Ehlers Estate told me they were, I nearly laughed. But somehow it's true -- amidst the glitz and glamour of Napa, there is a small winery that feeds all its profits back into the cardiovascular research foundation that owns it. There is, of course, a story behind this most unusual of affairs.
The Ehlers estate was established in 1886 by Bernard Ehlers, who erected a winery building and carved his name in the stone above the doorway the year after he purchased the estate for $7,000 in gold coin from an aspiring vintner who went bankrupt fighting a phylloxera infestation. Ehlers planted the estate and ran it as an operational winery until 1901 when he passed away, leaving it to his wife, Anna. The estate changed hands several times over the next decades, but was worked constantly as a vineyard, even during prohibition (albeit surreptitiously). From 1958 to 1980 the land was split up and sold to several Napa wineries and landowners.
In 1987, Jean and Sylviane Leducq, who were embarking on a journey to pursue their passion for the wines of Bordeaux, began buying up these separate parcels of land as they came on the market. Eventually even the original stone winery building, and its adjacent land were purchased, reunifying the original estate.
With a complete working winery planted through the years with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petite Verdot, the Leducqs went about making wines inspired by Bordeaux. Then, in 1996 they donated the winery wholesale to the Leducq foundation, a non-profit entity devoted to supporting cardiovascular research around the world.
Presumably the winery operates as a profit center for the foundation, which I think is a pretty cool idea, especially since it appears that the foundation is interested in making sure that the winery produces quality product.
Winemaking at the estate is under the direction of the young Rudy Zuidema whose resume includes familiar Napa names like Beaulieu Vineyards, St. Clement Vineyards, Cuvaison Winery, Honig, and Robert Craig Wine Cellars, as well as Wirra Wirra vineyards in Western Australia.
The winery has a public tasting room in the aforementioned stone building, and offers its estate grown and produced olive oils as well as wines for sale to the general public.
2004 Ehlers Estate Sauvignon Blanc, St. Helena
Pale gold in the glass, this wine has a grassy nose of herb, mineral, and green apple aromas. In the mouth it has a decent amount of acidity, and primary flavors of golden delicious apples and vanilla, as well as surprisingly, toasted oak which lingers along with some citrus notes into the finish. It turns out that this wine is aged in 3 year old Sauternes barrels on the lees (pulp and seeds and other solids). I think some of the flavors imparted by this treatment weigh down the wine a little bit, and keep it from zinging as much as it could. 1,150 cases produced. Score: 8/8.5. Cost: $20.
2002 Ehlers Estate Merlot (88% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Estate Cabernet Franc), St. Helena.
Dark ruby colored in the glass, this wine has a gorgeous nose of blueberry and blackberry with hints of tobacco. In the mouth it is silky, dense and ripe with fruit flavors of plum, black cherry, and cassis, with barely perceptible tannins that taper towards a substantial finish. One of the better Napa Merlots I have had in a long time. 2,050 cases produced. Score: 9.5. Cost: $27.
2001 Ehlers Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena
Medium ruby in the glass, this wine doesn't quite manage to be as dark as the Merlot, surprisingly. It has a nice nose of espresso, cherry, and tobacco, which is followed up by a nice mouthfeel structured by soft tannins that support flavors of black cherry, licorice, and blackberries. The wine has a nice acidity to it, and a moderate finish. 4,217 cases produced. Score: 9. Cost: $33.
2002 Ehlers Estate Cabernet Franc, St. Helena
Medium ruby in the glass, this wine has a typically floral nose with scents of lavender, coffee and blueberries. In the mouth it is supple, with nice tannins, and primarily focused around flavors of cedar and blueberries. 396 cases produced. Score: 8.5/9. Cost: $33.
2002 Ehlers Estate "1886" Limited Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena
I did not have a chance to sample this wine again during my tasting, but I scored it as one of several wines from St. Helena that I tasted a few months ago and it was a very substantial wine, loaded with flavor and complexity. Score: 9.5. Cost: $75.
Note: Prices are winery retail prices.
I was up in wine country yesterday and visited Ehlers. They only make about 10k cases a year so they dont distribute to the large retailers. I thought all the wines were very good, especially the Savignon Blanc and Merlot, both which I purchased. I highly recommend a visit.
The wines are all very very good and the 1886 is 'precious' - very impressive ..especially being a non-profit winery, it really deserves to be noticed and appreciated.
I visited Ehlers in March of 2005 and had the chance to sample and purchase the 2002 Cabernet Franc. I wish that I would have purchased more as they are out of stock. It was one of my absolute favorites!

Blue Cheese Date Wraps
"My friends and I used to make the traditional bacon-wrapped jalapenos at cookouts. I decided to sweeten them up a bit with dates and apricots, which are also more kid-friendly." —Susan Hinton, Apex, North Carolina
36 Servings
Prep: 25 min. Bake: 10 min.
12 bacon strips
36 pitted dates
2/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
Cut each bacon strip into thirds. In a large skillet, cook bacon in
batches over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp.
Remove to paper towels to drain; keep warm.
Carefully cut a slit in the center of each date; fill with blue
cheese. Wrap a bacon piece around each stuffed date; secure with
wooden toothpicks.
Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes
or until bacon is crisp. Yield: 3 dozen.

BRAWLEY, CA - Residents in Brawley are concerned about a registered violent sex offender - who is petitioning the courts to lift his restrictions.
59-year-old Richard Horn has been convicted for raping a 17-year-old girl. Horn also has two other convictions for sexual assault and kidnapping. Horn's public defender out of Fresno claims his client, a known violent sex predator, has successfully been treated for his illness and no longer has the urge to rape other women.
KSWT News 13 has learned if the judge rules in favor to lift his restrictions that means Horn would no longer have anyone assigned to keeping a close eye on him.
Horn was convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl in San Diego back in 1984. Horn also has two other prior convictions for sexual assault and kidnapping.
Since Horn lives in Brawley Imperial County District Attorney Heather Trapnell tells KSWT News 13 they too have gone before a judge to argue that horn should remain in supervised conditional release. "At this point in time he still has to report regularly to a probation person. He has to report all his activities. He does have to submit to regular polygraph exams, he has to report any contacts he has with women he does not know. He is not supposed to contact any children. There is a lot of restrictions like that which would be lifted if the petition is granted," says Trapnell.
At this time, it is not known when the judge will issue a ruling. If Horn's restrictions are lifted prosecutors in both Fresno and Imperial Counties plan to challenge the ruling by seeking a jury trial.

Very satisfied with the way my order was handled. Very satisfied with the product I wish these come with retail packaging

LOVELY! Very nice, love how the charger comes in different colors for my iPhone 4s. I ordered the white one so it would match my phone. Fits in nicely when I put it in the phone, just like butter. Did I mention how much I LOVE the price? You can't find a charger like this anywhere else. This is the best site I have ever used, and this will be the only site I will ever use! I have bought over thing...

Good quality, fits perfectly on iphone 5s. I'm very satisfied about this product, especially with this price!

I'm in love with this. It makes my iPhone 5s a bit thick (think of more protection) and it's hard to hold since the blocks protrude out so much but I knew what I was getting into when I purchased this. My favorite thing is definitely how the two pieces are detachable. You can place them anywhere you want on the case or simply just take em off for a few days. I'm just glad it's silicone material so...
