November 26, 2012, 11:25 AM — Black Friday shoppers can rest now that this years frenzy is over, but when the next one rolls around there may be even more reason to skip it altogether.
Here are four reasons it really isnt worth staying up all night to get a good deal on tech devices and gadgets.
The Internet
Some items are still available online for the same price with free shipping to boot.
Check out the Nikon D3000 camera kit, for example.
Wal-Mart featured it as a Black Friday special for $449, but its still on sale for that price on the worlds largest retailers web site and you can get the deal sent right to your door and Wal-Mart will cover the shipping.
The Merchandise
When I took a stroll through my local Walmart store on Friday afternoon, there were still plenty of TVs piled up. A Samsung 46-inch LED smart TV, which was touted on the chains Black Friday store map, was abundance, for example.
As another example, Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis for the market research firm NPD Group, was underwhelmed by turnout at a Massachusetts Walmart store early Friday morning.
He found the 5 a.m. scene there to be a surprise only about 20 people were waiting around for the best priced TV of the day, a 50-inch Emerson TV and nothing else seemed to be luring customers in the door and toward the electronics section.
Moving up Black Friday seemed to do little to bring out incremental shoppers, and while it remains to be seen if these Thanksgiving shoppers were converted, or enticed, away from online the fact that crowds were on-par with previous years seems to indicate that there is little room for traffic growth, he wrote in a blog post.
He wrote that while an earlier Black Friday one that actually starts on Thursday should provide retailers with the chance to offer more doorbuster events and bring customers in during the dead periods throughout the night and morning, Wal-Marts failure to bring in hordes of early morning crowds at least at the location he was scoping out may indicate that consumers dont want more opportunities for in-store shopping.
If true, that would mean that brick and mortar has been unable to stem the online tide despite the Thanksgiving openings and the increase in the in- store events, he wrote.
The Deals
Some experts advise skipping Black Friday altogether because you can get better deals at other times.

3 Things You Don't Know About Jennifer Weiner
To celebrate this latest blockbuster release, we asked Jennifer to offer NOOK Blog readers 3 Things They Don't Know About Me (including a hilarious new vocabulary term that I can really relate to):
1. Nothing fills me with more impotent rage than biting into what I believe is a chocolate-chip cookie or scone, only to discover that it's been filled with RAISINS. I actually got Lizzie Skurnick, who writes the "That Should Be A Word" column for the New York Times Sunday Magazine, to come up with a word for that terrible, horrible feeling. It's "bitrayal."
2. I love reading to my daughters, and my favorite book to read to my four-year-old right now is I want my Hat Back by John Klassen. I do an excellent sad-bear voice. "YOU. YOU TOOK MY HAT."
3. I am currently re-reading the Game of Thrones books. I read the whole series last summer, just for pleasure, and now I'm re-reading with an eye toward structure and skill, and how on earth Martin keeps all those plots moving (not to mention all those names and titles straight!) I love speculative/sci-fi/whatever-we're-calling-it-now. Stephen King's Dark Towers books are also some of my favorites, and I cannot wait until my older daughter finally picks up A Wrinkle in Time, because it's going to ROCK HER WORLD.
A free sample excerpt from this book is available for download on the product page now.
NOOK owners: go to shop and search for "Jennifer Weiner" to download her bestselling books.

My daughter is 18 now and my son 15, and though both are avid readers I never could get either of them to read and finish A Wrinkle in Time! I just don't understand how they could NOT like it!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- It's an intricate case involving murder and witness intimidation.
On Tuesday, June 4, some of the charges against the accused killer, Lloyd Hammond, were dropped. Hammond will now only face one murder charge instead of three.
The main witness in Hammond's case was gunned down before she could testify. Hammond won't face charges for the murders she says she saw.
As Hammond's triple murder trial was set to begin there was a courtroom surprise. Three murder charges reduced down to one and a delay in the trial.
Prosecutors asked for the charges to be dismissed since recorded testimony from their key witness won't be allowed.
That was the main reason the Supreme Court previously reversed Hammond's convictions and why this case is back in court.
Troya Sheckles was murdered in Shelby Park before she could testify against Hammond, his brother Dejuan and his friend Steven Pettway are accused of the crime.
Pettway has already been convicted.
Since Sheckles can't be cross examined, her recorded statements are not admissible.
Now Hammond will only stand trial for the murder of Kerry Williams. Williams' family was relieved three years ago when they thought this case was wrapped up.
It's been a tough road for Williams family.
While Williams was being prepared for burial a fire bomb was thrown into his funeral home at 22nd and Broadway. It's another example of the violent nature of this case.
The families of William Sawyers and Terrell Cherry are left with no one answering to their murders.
They thought Hammond would spend the rest of his life in prison for their loss.

(CNN) — More credit card users are paying their bills on time. An American Bankers Association report released today (Tuesday) finds about two-and-a-half percent (2.47%) of bank-issued credit card accounts were delinquent in the fourth quarter of last year. That's the lowest level since 19-94.
Compare that to the record high of just over five percent (5.01%) in 2009, when twice as many card holders had payments at least 30 days overdue. Bank-card delinquencies fell throughout the year last year -- and analysts say that's a sign more consumers are trying to pay down their debt.
Late payments also fell in home equity loans, home improvement loans and third-party auto loans, according to the A-B-A report.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A Shively man has been arrested on drug charges after police say he was selling them from a store near a high school.
According to an arrest report, a tip to Shively Police said that Kelly M. Kidd, 44, was selling drugs from the Sports Center, a store in Valley Station.
The report states that a detective who spent two days there noticed a lot of people were coming into the store, but leaving empty-handed.
Police used a confidential informant to go into the store and make a buy from Kidd. The informant was able to purchase lortab and meth for $5.00 a pill.
Kidd was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections on two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.
Police said a search of the business, located down the street from Valley High School, turned up 60 lortab pills and 16.5 grams of crystal meth.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
You get what you pay for... by matt from tampa on 10/27/2010. Trim: 1999 Isuzu Trooper S 4WD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Well-built engine and bomb-proof frame/undercarriage. Overall its a great truck. I have almost 185k on the truck (mostly highway miles). It has the TOD system (I know there are some mixed reviews on this system) which has served me fine the few times I have been in snow/off-road. The truck still idles smoothly, no warning lights and shows no sign of dying anytime soon.
Cons: I wish that Isuzu actually built the transmission. They are GM trannys - and they are closed units. Trying to check your fluid is next to impossible as there is no dipstick. I am on my second transmission (first one died at 128k). That said, I haven't had too many other problems. It does burn a bit of oil - approximately 1quart btw oil changes. But I think thats normal considering my high mileage (185K). I have found that adding lucas to the oil helps to slow the consumption. Synthetic oil did nothing to slow the consumption and it costs too much considering its being blown out the exhaust pipe!
Overall review: Great truck for the money. I bought it as a knock-around truck. Thanks to Isuzu backing out of the US their value has plummeted. They are a bit underpowered if you are interested in flooring it off the line, but have it has no trouble keeping pace in traffic and merging on the highway. If you buy one used with over 100k miles, make sure the transmission is shifting properly and that there is no burned oil on the dipstick. If you have to replace a drivetrain component - you will not realize the value of the truck!
Review ID: #549453 Is this review offensive?
One and only one! by Joe from Arizona on 03/18/2009. Trim: 1999 Isuzu Trooper S 4WD, Owned 10 years.
Pros: The interior is roomy and seating comfortable. It does run well w 235 hp. It has 4wd and a transfer case.
Cons: Im not a fan of this vehicle and Im happy to be rid of it. Most likely I'm done with isuzus's, period. 4wd was weak even with low range. Gas guzzler is the best description of fuel economy. Very expensive to maintain in every area. Parts are a rip off and unavailable except thru the dealer. Burned oil badly after 100,000 miles. Yes i did regular oil changes.
Overall review: One only! Never again. I would not recommed a trooper to any one for any price for any purpose and frankly will not consider any isuzu again. I bought this one new and owned it for 9 years. I am familiar with it and its foibles. Most expensive vehicle I ever owned.
Review ID: #537998 Is this review offensive?
GOOD SUV AT THE PRICE by LOU on 02/27/2004. Trim: 1999 Isuzu Trooper S 4WD, Owned 5 years.
Pros: PRICE INITIALLY
Cons: PARTS HARD TO GET AND EXPENSIVE
Overall review: HARD TO TALK TO CUSTOMER SERVICE
Review ID: #415355 Is this review offensive?
The greatest SUV for the money by Airman from D.C. on 05/29/2003. Trim: 1999 Isuzu Trooper S 4WD, Owned 4 years.
Pros: I love the trooper. You get so much more for your money with isuzu. It has so much room in it. I know it looks kinda boxy, but it doesn't take much to make it look better. I put a black brush guard on mine with fog lights and I also tinted the windows. I have more done to it but with just that as a start you have a very good looking reliable vehicle. The torque on demand is great too because you can get more power just by hitting a button. Works well for slippery conditions when you could use all four wheels to keep traction with out having to stop and put the vehicle in neutral to put it in 4 wheel drive.
Cons: Like I said it is kinda boxy
Overall review: It is great
Review ID: #363722 Is this review offensive?
my trooper rules!! by chich from seattle, wa on 01/02/2003. Trim: 1999 Isuzu Trooper S 4WD, Owned 2 years.
Pros: i've had my '99 trooper for a year and a half now and i absolutely love it! i've only had to take it to the shop for one problem and it was under warranty so i didn't pay a dime. i've spent money on this vehicle for gas and just recently, tires. i can't recommend this vehicle enough. one of the main reasons i bought it was that there is soooooo much more passenger room than all of the other comparable suv's. the cargo space is also substantial given that the spare is mounted on the tailgate. i love my trooper.
Cons: i wish mine had more options, not really a fault of the car though. i'd also expect better gas mileage from a v6.
Overall review: wonderful vehicle. fantastically reliable.

What Richard Did - Lenny Abrahamson
*Editor's note: There's a shockingly mature and affecting performance in here. I also couldn't help but draw (great) parallels with Haneke. Abrahamson's film veers confidently between eerily beautiful/dreamlike and coldly precise. There's an allegory with the current state of Ireland that completely went over my head, but there's still plenty of meat to chew on and digest without it. On a more personal note, I couldn't help but think what would happen if I was ever in a situation like Richard Karlsen or what I'd do if I had a son like him. It's terrifying in how real it all feels at times…and that ending. Run. Don't walk.

Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) the size (in bytes) of the largest packet or frame that a given layer of a communications protocol can pass onwards. The MTU may be fixed by standards (as is the case with Ethernet) or decided at connect time. A higher MTU brings higher bandwidth efficiency. However, large packets can block up a slow interface for some time, increasing the lag for further packets.
The MTU for ethernet is 1500 bytes, 1492 for PPPoE and 576 for Dialup. In very rare occasions, you may need to change the MTU size due to connectivity issues with your ISPs or in a VPN environment on your openSUSE.
The following procedure should help to change the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) in openSUSE.

You know there's a lawsuit for everything, even the iPhone 4 "death grip."
Valleywag reports law firm Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff is trying to bring a class-action suit against Apple for its reception problems with iPhone 4. Steve Jobs' advice, "Just avoid holding it that way," probably didn't help.
But even more interesting than that is TechCrunch's eagle eye to the job boards where Apple is trying to hire eight experienced antenna engineers. Perhaps it should have done so sooner. Oh, and there are other engineering jobs available there, too.

Red Hot Jello
This post goes out to my friend, Andrew, who I have to thank for reuniting me this year with one of my blast-from-the-past childhood favorites — hello, red hot jello!!!
For those of you who've never heard of this fabulousness, the name perfectly describes it — a marriage between sweet red jello and cinnamon-y red hots. Growing up, it always seemed to be the dish that was too good to be true — partly because this sweetness somehow "passed" as a side during dinner (and could thus take up the veggie real estate on my plate), and partly because it was made with my favorite of favorite candies. Still love my red hots! :)
So, when I happened to see a massive display of red hots last week on clearance in the Valentine's section (the cute heart-shaped ones!), I decided it was time to feel like a kid again. Thankfully, it did not disappoint. In fact, it was marvelous. :) I highly recommend it.
Bill Cosby would be so proud.
Red Hot Jello
- 1/2 cup red hots (or cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- 1 small (3 oz.) package of strawberry or cherry jello
- 2 cups applesauce
Bring water to a boil. Add red hots and stir until melted. After melting red hots, stir in one box of strawberry jello and dissolve. When jello is dissolved, stir in the applesauce until well mixed. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Place in refrigerator until the jello has set (firmed up).
Ali's Tip:
Feel free to do the true "jello salad" thing with this recipe as well! Add in some chopped fruit or nuts into the salad, and then serve (once it has firmed up) with a delightful dallop of whipped cream.

In the Nov. 15, 1909, edition of the Boston Daily Globe, officers of the British steamship Hannah M. Bell reported being chased by six "monster waterspouts" near Cape Hatteras, N.C.
On that same day, the New York Tribune's account of the incident stated that Captain Cooper saved the ship and crew with his shotgun. When those whirling spirals of forceful water got dangerously near the steamer, they were "disintegrated by the sea captain's well aimed shots."
But less than two years later, good fortune ran out for the 315-foot steel cargo ship. In stormy weather, it crashed into Elbow Reef, which juts close to the Gulf Stream and lies in an average of 20 feet of water in the Atlantic Ocean, about six miles offshore of Key Largo.
The April 3, 1911, grounding made news, as did the ensuing salvage attempts — including one by the steamer Roosevelt that was taken to the North Pole by arctic explorer Robert E. Peary. The ship made headlines again in 1912, albeit with the wrong name of "Anna M. Bell," after two boat captains were arrested by federal agents for stealing winches and engines from the wreck. And in 1920, the "Anna M. Bell" was in the news once more when the steamer Quoque wrecked directly on top of it.
But as the years turned into decades, and the decades into nearly a century, the wreck's fascinating history became lost. When diving became popular in the 1970s in the Keys, the steel remains became known only as Mike's Wreck, name after a local boat captain. Some thought it might be a Civil War-era wreck called the Tonawanda. But the ship's real identity was a mystery.
It was not until two years ago that the wreck officially was recognized in modern times as the Hannah M. Bell, named after the woman who christened the boat. The lead investigator who unraveled the mystery — Matthew Lawrence, a maritime archaeologist at the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in Massachusetts Bay — returned last week with a team of mostly volunteers to complete the survey of the massive wreck.
"It's really neat to see how vessels ran up on the reef and got all contorted," Lawrence said. "One of the things we can reveal by this mapping project is how much of a factor the ocean, with the waves battering this thing, played in its breaking apart — and how much was due to salvage that went on for years after the Hannah M. Bell wrecked."
Lawrence, Brenda Altmeier (maritime heritage coordinator for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary) and 22 other amateur underwater archaeologists from around the country meticulously measured, drew and precisely plotted locations of the Hannah M. Bell's remaining structure, as well as scattered pieces that have become part of the colorful coral reef over the past 103 years.
In 2012, a small team of six divers had mapped about 25 percent of the ship, enough to make the official identification. Lawrence returned this time with a small army of volunteers, most of them members of Diving With A Purpose, a program founded 10 years ago by Ken Stewart of Tennessee. The group of 24 surveyed the remaining 75 percent of the wreck, the length of a football field. There work is being compiled into a single map of the site that will be made available to the public. The hope is to make laminated versions that divers can bring with them to the wreck.
Instead of a fish finder, "it's like a wreck finder," said Eric Denson, lead instructor of Diving With A Purpose and an electrical engineer with NASA.
Denson said he wants to do his part to help "conserve and preserve" these type of wrecks, even though they did not carry gold, silver or other treasure. "They are important culturally," he said.
In the 1990s, a group of volunteer divers documented about 400 wreck sites just in the northeast region of the sanctuary, from Alligator Reef off Islamorada to Biscayne National Park. Some are complete shipwrecks. Others, like Bunn Canyon Patch — where 13 canyons were discovered —are likely just "offloaded" tackle left behind so a ship could lighten its load.
"There are so many of these left to identify, at least 250 to 300," Altmeier said. "But knowing the history makes all the difference in the world. There is definitely more appreciation when people know what it was, know what year it went down and know where it was coming from and what it was carrying."
The identification of the Hannah M. Bell began in 2009, when Lawrence came to the Keys to train members of Diving With A Purpose in underwater archeology techniques. They were working on the popular dive site City of Washington, a 320-foot schooner turned steamship that sank in 1917 while being pulled by a tugboat.
Altmeier mentioned to Lawrence that nearby was this other site known as Mike's Wreck. "She said, 'Dive on it and tell me what you think,' " Lawrence said. "I thought, 'We've got to be able to put a name to this. Something like this doesn't just run aground and just get totally forgotten.' "
So he returned to Massachusetts and "with the wonders of computer data bases" was able to find newspaper accounts of groundings that seemed to match the type of ship and location of the wreck. Then with the names of the ships, he researched other sources to get structural information to narrow the possible "characters."
His best bet was the Hannah M. Bell, which plied the waters between ports in Europe, South America, the Carribean and the East and Gulf coasts of the United States, carrying raw materials including coal, sugar and cotton.
Lawrence tracked down a photograph of the vessel from people in England who had researched the maritime history of the River Tees, where the Hannah M. Bell was launched in 1893.
The pieces to the puzzle included the discovery at the wreck site of thousands of tiny pieces of coal mixed with the sand, as well as one large piece about the size of a football.
"It all started matching up very well," Lawrence said.
On its last voyage, the Hannah M. Bell was carrying thousands of tons of coal — a cargo valued at more than $100,000, according to an April 20, 1911, article in the Miami Herald —when it ran into rough weather traveling south to Vera Cruz, Mexico.
The Roosevelt, which Peary used for his Arctic expedition, was on its way from New York to help with the rescue when it was told to turn around after the Hannah M. Bell was determined to be a total loss. Stormy weather led to strong ocean waves and current that ripped it apart before it could be removed from the reef. Captain Thomas was the last to abandon the vessel. All 13 crew members had also been rescued.
Lawrence found at least two other accounts where the Hannah M. Bell had grounded in South Florida, once near Miami and another in the Dry Tortugas. Both times it was able to be refloated.
In a 1907 Boston Daily Globe report, the steamer's sailors arrived "frostbitten" during a voyage from Cuba, with a cargo of 23,899 bags of sugar. During this stomy passage, Captain Cooper reported passing a great quantity of wreckage northeast of Nantucket, believed to be fragments of the steamer Larchmont.
While salvagers recovered most of the coal and other parts of the Hannah M. Bell, including the engines, large sections of the steel structure are left, including one that rises 15 feet above the sea floor.
Lawrence pointed out several cool features. There are the large bits used to tie up the steamship at docks, and the cut water, a piece of solid steel 25 feet long that was at the bow of the boat, to cut through the water like a knife's edge.
"It's fallen over now, but is really pretty with sea fans on it and fish living underneath it," Lawrence said.
A large lobster watched the group as it worked with tape measures, pencils and underwater slates to document features in respect to a 210-foot baseline. Other denizens of the reef, including two nurse sharks, a moray eel, a sea turtle and several barracudas, also made appearances through the wreck — brightly lit by the sun.
Most of Elbow Reef's numerous shipwrecks were vessels headed south before their demise. Lawrence said ship owners tried to save fuel costs by hugging the coast a bit too closely to try to avoid the Gulf Stream, which flows northward.
Lawrence hopes to return to the Keys to check out another wreck that is only about 200 yards away from the Hannah M. Bell. His initial research leads him to believe it's the Acorn, a 165-foot steamer that was launched near Glasgow, England, in 1881 and sank in 1885.
"It's another great story of a tramp steamer sailing all over the Atlantic, picking up various cargos," Lawrence said. "On its last voyage it was loaded with a cargo of grain, lard and oil. The grain was ruined but the lard and oil were in buoyant casks that started floating off the ships. The wreckers were recovering these floating casks as they drifted out to the Gulf Stream. This was their chance to make a good buck."

Arinc Direct iPad App Gets Major Upgrade
Arinc Direct recently released Version 2.3 of its iPad flight-planning app, a major upgrade designed to help users eliminate paper from their cockpits and including a new note-taking annotation feature on flight plans.
With the annotation feature, users can add notes on flight plans by clicking on the action arrow at the bottom of the screen, then clicking anywhere on the flight plan and adding text. The notes can be emailed along with the flight plan. Two pilots using the app on their own iPads can see each other's notes via Bluetooth communication between the iPads. Shared notes appear in green, while a user's own notes are blue.
Another new feature that pilots will like is own-ship position display on en route charts, which can be switched off to satisfy the FAA. Arinc Direct has also added the ability to filter leg lists by tail number and number of days, pre-departure clearances sent directly to the iPad for data-link-capable aircraft, a brightness control and support for adding trips to Apple's iCal calendar via iCloud, so they can be seen on all of a user's Apple devices.

Microsoft slams Google on 'proper' YouTube app
Microsoft slams Google on 'proper' YouTube app
"Despite government scrutiny, Google continues to block Microsoft from offering its customers proper access to YouTube. This is an important issue because consumers value YouTube access on their phone," said Microsoft attorney Dave Heiner in a blog post.
"Google often says that the antitrust offenses with which it has been charged cause no harm to consumers. Google is wrong about that. In this instance, for example, Google's refusal deprives consumers who use competing platforms of a comparable experience in accessing content that is generally available on the Web."
The comments marked the latest flare-up between the two tech titans and came as US and EU antitrust watchdogs were seeking to conclude probes into Google's conduct. Some reports said US investigators were preparing to settle for a voluntary agreement from Google without court enforcement.
Google, which owns YouTube, said Microsoft was distorting the facts on mobile phone access.
"Contrary to Microsoft's claims, it's easy for consumers to view YouTube videos on Windows phones," a Google spokesperson said in response to an AFP query.
"Windows phone users can access all the features of YouTube... In fact, we've worked with Microsoft for several years to help build a great YouTube experience on Windows phones."
Microsoft said it has raised its concerns both with the European Commission and the US Federal Trade Commission, which are investigation potential abuses of market dominance by Google.
"You might think that Google would be on its best behavior given it's under the bright lights of regulatory scrutiny on two continents," Heiner said.
"However, as we enter 2013, that is not the case... Hopefully, Google will wake up to a New Year with a resolution to change its ways and start to conform with the antitrust laws. If not, then 2013 hopefully will be the year when antitrust enforcers display the resolve that Google continues to lack."

Welcome on the planet earth
"Within Two Worlds depicts an alternate perspective by giving us the illusion of times movement, signifying a beginning and end within a world of constant contradiction. It appears you are traveling in the midst of a dream, half-sleeping, half-waking, and touching the arch connecting heaven and earth."
I discovered my passion for photography shortly after my mother's passing while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) 3 years ago. This time-lapse video is my visual representation of how the night sky and landscapes co-exist within a world of contradictions. I hope this connection between heaven and earth inspires you to discover and create your own opportunities, to reach your rightful place within two worlds.
Please feel free to share #withintwoworlds! Special thanks to all for your continued support and encouragement.

I hear they are similar to a Runza, which I have had. Any recs would be appreciated, thanks.
I've only seen them once on a menu in Kansas City. It was a daily lunch special at You Say Tomato. I had fun chatting up the owner about their origin as I suspected he must have grown up in a German community in western Kansas to know of them. I can't give you specifics, but most small, rural towns with a German or Mennonite heritage will know what you are talking about. I don't know if you can find them in a restaurant, but try local delis or bakeries. Also keep your eye out for any German heritage festivals. I get my fix once a year in Darrouzett, Texas -- just south of western Kansas. My mom can get them throughout the year from someone in the community.
Also, Cooking Light ran a recipe for bierocks a few years back. Let me do a little research... January 2004. There was a feature article about the people, the food, the culture, etc.
Good luck! I'd love to know if you find some.
re: larkspurKC
LarkspurKC, I almost fell out of my chair when I read Darrouzett. That is where I learned about bierocks. We lived there in 62-63ish. Wow, no one EVER knows where that is.
re: Katie Nell
They also have them every year at the Apple Festival in Topeka at Ward Meade (Oct. 7th this year). http://www.topeka.org/parksrec/wardme...
I believe Friendship House in Wamego has them also. Not sure if they have them every day or not. We pick them up sometimes on the way to KSU football games. They are a block east of the main street that runs through town, across from the big park with the windmill.
Also, if you are close to Topeka, my church has an annual Germanfest the first weekend of June and we definitely have bierocks there. You might try your local Dillons store as well...I have seen them there from time to time.
I ate a bierock at The Breadbasket in Newton, KS, several years ago, but am not sure they are still in business. They are still listed on the Newton Chamber of Commerce web site (http://www.thenewtonchamber.org/compo...), but their old web site now seems to be a search site for baskets.
Bierocks seem to be progenitors of the runza.
Newton is more than a small town (2000 population 17,190) but certainly is a Mennonite center.

re: Eldon Kreider
The Breadbasket is still in business and still have bierocks as far as I know, but to tell you the truth, i have only had their german buffet--which is very yummy.
Here's a place in St. Francis who sells and ships them. http://beckysbierocks.com/ I've also heard there's a Runza restaurant in Lawrence on Iowa, near 27th, I think, but I've never been. I don't know if they'd have the variation you're looking for, but kind of doubt it. You might give them a call, though. Another idea would be to call the German meat market on Johnson Drive and ask if they know of someone who makes and sells them locally.
Bierocks! I forgot to mention these as a favorite elementary school dish! Love and make em now and then.
They occur in n.e. Oklahoma also, yum. I have never seen one commercially made, just home cooks. I've made them a couple of times from a student teacher's grandma's recipe, they are very simple and delicious. good luck!
re: Milt
The Breadbasket is still open (I drove by this morning and there's an open sign in the window). I would recommend their German buffet with all the Mennonite classics. Also another place that you can find bierocks in Newton is Druber's the local Daylight donuts place, they have them during lunch or frozen to take with you.
Good Luck.
re: colamb
We ate the evening German buffet at The Breadbasket on Saturday, June 2. We had only been there for lunch before. What a find! My wife, who doesn't particularly care for sauerkraut, said this was the best she had ever eaten - and her family background is Mennonite. There were too many delicious choices to get to indulge myself as totally as I would have liked. I left absolutely stuffed. The sausages, the kraut, the German potato salad, the cherry mousse dessert, the homemade bread were all wonderful. The buffet is served Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday mid-day only. It is worth going a few miles out of your way for this food. We drove over an hour from Abilene - and will likely do it again on our next trip.
re: Aaron Deacon
Not sure if you saw this other thread, but you should check it out
re: heatherkay
I hadn't, thanks, but that's the connection I was making. A little different, for sure, but still in the same family. Also different, though dough-wrapped cousins, I suppose, to the dumpling/pierogi/ravioli family.
Have any of you seen butter balls when you've ran across bierocks? They are a soup dumpling made with toasted bread crumbs, milk and butter. My family traditionally prepared them with noodles in a chicken broth.
re: llsavp
M&M Bierock is really good. I think there are 2 Bierock places in Wichita. One is on the west side, I thought they were owned by the same family.
re: llsavp
Glad you metnioned this. It's been 14 years since I lived in Wichita and I thought there was a place there that was just called Bierock, but I didn't want to mention it for fear I had only dreamed it.
Dan the Bierock Man will be serving them, along with brats, at Holy-Field Winery's Oktoberfest, Sat., Oct. 13, 1-5pm (www.holyfieldwinery.com).
I just saw notice in the DeSoto Explorer that bierocks will be among the festival food at DeSoto Days next weekend. They apparently sold out last year, so you might want to come early if you're hoping for a bierock. It's the 150 year anniversary of the little town, so I'd expect good attendance.
re: amyzan
I looked at the article again, more carefully, and it says the bierocks concession will be on Saturday, the first of September. It's sponsored by the United Methodist church, which is the one on Kill Creek Road, I think, if you want to call and ask questions.
re: amyzan
...and they sold out in one hour! http://www.desotoexplorer.com/section...
re: forensicdarling
Are you familiar with the current Hays food scene? Is Professor's the best place in town to entertain a client?
re: jm054
I lived in Hays as a kid and go back frequently to visit family.
I would recommend Gella's (http://www.lbbrewing.com/) in downtown Hays. It is half restaurant/half brewery. All the food I have had has been great - a lot of the food is variations of the regional german food. The beer is fantastic. If you go, order the grebble to start - it is essentially fried bread - so simple but so good.
re: friednoodlesandbeans
Your's is the second stron rec I have had for Gella's, I need to sop there the next time I am in town.
re: forensicdarling
I second that. Hays is the place to go for Volga German food.
Schilleci's Bakery makes good bierocks every day. Like all bierocks, they are best straight from the oven.

re: btrswttx00
I don't remember seing Bierocks on the menu at Beethovan's. Do they do them as a special or did I just miss seing them?
Their food is very good!
Made From Scratch in WIlson, Kansas has them.
I've had them two or three other places as well, including Becky's Bierocks who sells them at special events like the Kansas Sampler Festival. But I have never had one that made me want a second one.
Go to a restaurant called Made From Scratch in Wilson, KS--incidentally the "Czech Capital" of Kansas! Annual Czech Festival is July 24-25 in Wilson-annual Czech parade is Saturday morning.

re: greeneyes64
My grandparents were German, but came to the US in 1913 from Russia. They settled in Lehigh, Kansas, a town of Menonites, although they were Luthern. Here is my Grandma's recipe for Bierocks:
2 lbs. hamburger
1 c. onion, chopped
4 c. cabbage, chopped
2 tsp. garlic salt
For the bread, use frozen dinner rolls that you allow to rise. I use Rhodes brand. After you cook the hambuger for a few minutes, add the cabbage and onion and continue to cook until the onions are clear. Then after the rolls have risen, roll them out, put a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center, pinch them together and bake at 375 for about 22 minutes or until they are golden. I brush mine with butter when they first come out of the oven, then cover with a damp t-towel.
re: DallasChic
I was surprised to see a discussion of these pop up. I have a similar story--great grandparents traveled with their family from Russia in 1906 and ended up in Kansas.
I'm sure there are all kinds of variations in recipes, the type I make is heavier on the onions, cabbage. One hint if anybody wants to make these (and you should) is to make sure the seams are down against the cookie sheet (lots less leakage as they cook).
I grew up eating bierocks in my school cafeteria in central Kansas. I loved them then and I love them now. I just made them for the first time for my kids tonght and I think they have found true love too. Now I will make them for my family and friends here in Misawa, Japan. Its fun to spread an old community tradition around the world.
re: DarlaNJapan
Exactly! I first ate them at my school cafeteria in Fresno, California; and hav ed since made and shared them in Bolivia, the Philippines, and Colombia. People everywhere love them.
re: DarlaNJapan
Odd to think that dumplings can only be fried or steamed... Europeans just made them bigger and more prone to baking, and that can be a good thing. I grew up in the Midwest and Bierocks were everywhere and usually a staple at most small town restaurants whose heredity was Eastern European. Love them when I can get them, but it seems a dying art.
re: wmkwhite
Dumplings large and small are steamed in Asia - not so odd if you consider that the same cuisines do not use ovens.

Synthetic chemistry has been able to duplicate successfully the medicinal compounds in many plants, including:
- Quinine: Used to treat malaria and is synthesized from cinchona bark.
- Digoxin: Used to treat heart conditions and is derived from foxglove.
- Diacetylmorphine: This drug is better known by its trade name, "heroin." Heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for the naturally occurring morphine found in poppy plants.
- Aspirin: Also known as acetylsalicylic acid, aspirin is an artificial reproduction of salicin, which is found in willow bark.
- Taxol: An antitumor drug derived from the bark of the Pacific yew.
Modern scientists use several methods to convert medicinal plants into drugs. The most basic is simple extraction, where essential oils are removed from a plant and then concentrated. This can be very unreliable and inaccurate, though, and making modern drugs directly from plants is unrealistically difficult and expensive. The preferred method is for chemists to produce a synthetic compound that matches the molecular structure of the medicinal compound found in a plant.
Scientists use two general methods in order to try out plant-based treatment ideas. One method is to take the old fashioned approach: They simply go out into the wild and gather samples from all manner of plant life and trees. Then they carry the samples back to their laboratories and begin testing them. A second way scientists approach the testing of new plants is to pay attention to word of mouth -- in this case, word of mouth that has often been handed down over generations from very old cultures. For example, if a particular folk remedy has people swearing up and down that it works, scientists are more willing to explore whatever substances are called for in the remedy to see if the treatment really works and also if they can synthesize the active ingredient.
Everyone's favorite multi-purpose drug, aspirin, is a prime example of a drug now synthesized that was derived from a plant. It goes back all the way to the ancient Greeks, who used willow bark to treat fever symptoms. The bark and leaves of that tree contain a compound called salicin, which would one day be synthesized into acetylsalicylic acid, today's scientific name for aspirin [source: Bayer].

Written by Caitlyn Buckley
On November 1, the Writer's Guild of America began a strike. This is the first large-scale strike by writers since 1988, when the strike lasted 22 days and cost the television and film industries more than $500 million.
In the wake of DVDs and online movie and T.V. show purchase becoming popular, writers aren't being compensated with fair share of royalties while the acting, directing, and producing talents are being paid a higher amount of said royalties. The producers are getting the largest percent of revenues, and it is possible that as time wears on, the other divisions of television and movie workers will add their voices to the strike.
This may seem like a distant issue to the average student until they realize that it means that when the stockpile of previously filmed material runs out, their favorite shows won't be on the air any longer. No more "Grey's Anatomy", "Heroes", "Ghost Whisperer", "Private Practice", "The Office", "My Name is Earl", "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report", "Desperate Housewives", "30 Rock", "Friday Night Lights", or any late night talk show.
Some have halted production immediately, while others will continue showing until January or February. Hopefully, the parent media corporations will resume negotiations with the WGA and end the strike. If not, college students across the nation will be forced to study to fill the time formerly occupied by television.
Some acting talent has crossed the picket line, much to the dismay of the writers who work with them. Ellen Degeneres is under fire for continuing her show instead of supporting her writers on the picket line, like casts of some other shows are doing. Her writers compare their work to what is written for late night talk show hosts like David Letterman, Jay Leno, or Conan O'Brien, but she compares her show to the Oprah show, Dr. Phil, or The View. She opened her first show after the strike was initiated by saying she would not be doing a monologue to open the show in honor of her writers who were striking. As a daytime talk show, however, her show is expected to run without writers, which it easily can. Since it was necessary for her to continue doing her show, some of her writers currently striking have stated that the WGA could be a little overzealous in their censuring of Degeneres.
Another huge issue that is an impact of this Writer's Guild strike is that most major stations are threatening to fire the stage crews for shows if the writers and talent don't return. A man who worked as a key grip on the set of The Office wrote a letter to the Los Angeles Times newspaper outlining what happened to him. The show was shut down until further notice and all "below the line" (meaning those not obligated to join the strike by union rules) employees were laid off. This includes camera people, hair and makeup artists, wardrobe people, assistant directors, script supervisors, and so on. In all, for that one show, 102 people were unfairly laid off by the powers that be at NBC. Apparently, all the major media corporations are threatening to do the same with other shows if their writers do not cross the picket line. Blackmail can be an effective tool in some cases, but the use of people's livelihoods as a means of convincing the writers to return is seen by most as completely unfair.
Some SU students, like Carlos Barron, are put off by this strike.
"They should be working for the sake of producing art, not for the money. It sounds kind of harsh, but if they are looking for money, why are they writers?" Barron says. "There are certain professions that people respect, like doctors, that are paid well because they are accomplishing something tangible. Writing is noble and important, but it should be done for enjoyment instead of a desire for money."
Like every story, this strike has two sides, but it is obvious that the viewer and the below the line employees are the ones caught in the middle of this struggle. Writing is not an easy thing to do sometimes, and seeing others be over-compensated for work done by the writers would clearly frustrate the WGA, but perhaps they should also remember for a moment why they chose to become writers in the first place. Hopefully, a compromise will be reached in this strike before too many people are laid off or too many viewers are disgruntled by the reality programming that will be taking the place of scripted shows.

Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) of theScore Television Network and Layfield Report (http://www.layfieldreport.com) spoke with "Superstar" Billy Graham in his first interview since overcoming double pneumonia. Highlights:
-How his health is and how close he came to death.
"I was just released from the world famous Mayo Clinic Hospital just 2 days ago actually last Thursday from the flu which turned into double pneumonia, which is fluid in each lung and then congestive heart failure. I feel very good, excellent really. I'm back painting. (Doctors) told me about another 10 more days before I can get back in the gym"
-How often he works out.
-How he keeps busy with his painting.
-If his health scare affected his perspective on life. Also looking back on his life if it has changed any animosities he may of had in the past.
-Not actually having heat with CM Punk and Chris Jericho, and how he feels about his comments after going through his health scare
"I know that Chris Jericho has never really cared for me, really basically from day one, but anyway I was very shocked (by his comments), I was just trying to make a observation of how things have evolved in professional wrestling with body types. I meant no harm or disrespect to CM Punk whatsoever because he's a hard worker and dedicated."
-Did CM Punk contact him directly about the statements?

Still my tears refuse to come.
I know you're not affected by the decisions you made,
I know you don't care that I'm the one who's paid.
Forgiveness doesn't mean it was right,
I know guilt doesn't keep you awake at night.
I know you're trying, but I can never forget,
Do you hurt, do you regret?
The pain and the hurt you put me through?
Do you care? I'm not sure you do.
Well you may be deemed innocent,
You may have walked free,
But will you ever escape from memory?
