Next Door Ebony is a welcome addition to the Next Door World family, because other than the beautiful biracial Austin Wilde, they've been in real need of an injection of color to their selection of handsome but mostly white models. I also like that it brings you a mix of guys jerking off with black-on-black and interracial encounters.
If you're not familiar with the other sites from the company behind NextDoorEbony then the "next door" in the name could be a tad misleading. Even if some of the performers here don't have enough experience in the adult biz to be considered pornstars, you're definitely not getting amateur action in a homemade sense. Production values are high and the men have a polished look.
Don't get me wrong, because they're not all pretty boys. They've still got masculine appeal with lots of tattoos and body and facial hair in some cases (with well-groomed beards). For example, there's the sexy, white, hairy pornstar Sam Swift, but dark, smooth-skinned Tyrell has his own brand of manliness. You'll also see plenty of massive muscles and big cocks.
Updates are weekly and you'll already find 131 videos and over half of them are offered in Full HD. The oldest videos are only available in SD (but are still good in quality). You can download them in Windows Media and MP4 files, the latter of which can also be streamed in an embedded player. You also normally have a couple of lower-quality options.
I love that there are loads of threesomes, including one with a white guy being the filling in an Oreo threesome. They have their encounter outside on a patio. You'll also see some hot leatherwear and I don't think you can beat a luscious brown booty peeking out from the backside of chaps. There's also kink with blindfolds and men bound in chains.
You'll also find 129 photo sets and they come with Zip files in order to download these gorgeous spreads dedicated to some really fine specimens of chocolate perfection. When you click a photo's thumbnail it opens in an embedded display and you need to press on the icon at the bottom-right to enlarge it to its full high-res glory.
Your membership comes with access to that mega-site I mentioned earlier, so besides Austin's site, you can also check out Rod Daily, Samuel OToole, Trystan Bull, Tommy D XXX and Marcus Mojo. As I already mentioned, you won't find many other men of color. Still, even without the bonuses, Next Door Ebony seems like it's worth checking out.

The dilemma: It's spring, and you're dying for the new look blossoming in fashion magazines and store windows—but you have very little money these days to buy anything.
This year, I had particular need for a wardrobe refresh. With my new book coming out (In Her Own Sweet Time: Unexpected Adventures in Finding Love, Commitment and Motherhood), I was going to be touring the country giving readings. But since I work from home, my uniform generally consists of jeans, a T-shirt, and a comfortable pair of clogs. And like most people, my bank account is screaming extreme frugality much more than extreme luxury.
But transforming your look doesn't have to mean spending an exorbitant amount—it just means getting creative. I called Samantha von Sperling, director of Polished Social Image Consultants in New York, for a little help. Von Sperling has produced style identities for celebrities, royalty, business executives and regular Joes. She usually charges $300 an hour for the works: A full-force closet attack in which she cleans out the old and through a combination of personal shopping and wardrobe redesign, helps "bring in a look that is your best 'you.'" These days, von Sperling says, even her rich clients aren't spending like they used to. Clients who used to spend $30,000 on a wardrobe are now spending $5,000; many are spending only a few hundred dollars.
My new style consultant tells me the key to getting a luxe look for less is knowing your own style identity, learning how to mix high and low, knowing where to make investments and where not to. She solved my warbrobe problems in five steps:
1. Reassess your assets
She begins by taking my measurements, asking about my favorite colors, and inquiring into my emotional relationship to my body. I tell her that a friend once dubbed my look "bohemian glam." (Read Pegging Your Personal Style for more on your own clothing identity.)
"I'm seeing a lot of bohemian, but not a lot of glam," she says, smiling. Ouch.
One vital strategy is to shop your closet. You can work with a professional like von Sperling, but you can also recruit a friend with a critical eye. "You have to take stock of what's in there to see what's working and what's not," von Sperling says, stepping into my closet. "It also helps you figure out what you need, so when you do go shopping, you do it in an economically smart way. It means not buying a skirt because you saw it in the window and just have to have it and thinking you'll figure out what to wear it with later."
2. Re-group (and be ruthless)
For the next three hours, she tears through my closet. She pulls out all my clothes and makes three "action" piles:
- Clothes that are in good shape but that I never wear and should give to charity
- Clothes that are old and worn that I should throw out
- Clothes that I should remodel or dye to bring back to life
The rest can stay, she tells me.
3. Restore the classics
At one point, she discovers a piece of mink from my late grandmother's coat, stuffed in a plastic bag. "Now this breaks my heart," she says.
It's not because of cruelty to animal, but that I haven't treated the material with love. "We're going to bring it back to life by taking it to the tailor to sew in a chiffon lining and turn it into a glamorous wearable scarf with sentimental value."
She also pulls out a faded white collared shirt and tells me to dye it a "happy color," and suggests that I mellow out the hot pink embroidered tank top I bought in India, dyeing it wine to make it more sophisticated. (More ideas in Making the Most of Your Closet Misfits) After she leaves, I take some of my classic shoes to the cobbler to be refurbished, then get down and dirty with some $2 clothing dye and my bathtub. (Read Shoes on a Shoestring for additional frugal footwear tips.)
4. Do some smart shopping
Meanwhile, von Sperling has created a list of items that I need. Updating a wardrobe doesn't mean buying the most expensive clothing on the rack, she reminds me: "Money cannot buy you style. You can have all the money in the world and have hideous taste. But if you lost your job and have only two pennies to rub together, you can still walk into a party and make a smash hit."
We go to Runway, an eclectic Manhattan shop whose owner-designer makes most of the store's clothes in her basement. I invest in a new blue suit, a good pair of black trousers that shape my figure and don't wrinkle, a versatile 1950s-style flare dress, and great black belt—von Sperling tells me it will make any jacket or cardigan sweater more polished.
We then hit New York's new Topshop boutique, an extension of the London chain, where she picks out a few items to spruce up my look for spring, including a purple dress and a fun necklace. Total outlay: $100. (See our Five Best Buys for Spring.) Finally, we slip across the street to a discount store: I attack the $5 rack for some cotton tanks, and happen across a great blue summer dress for $37. Wear it with expensive shoes and costume pearls and I'll like a million dollars, von Sperling suggests.
5. Revisit and remix
Back in my apartment for our final meeting, von Sperling takes my new clothes and mixes them with what I already have. She puts the newly wine-colored shirt from India with the black trousers from Runway and a refurbished pair of red suede shoes that I bought two years ago. The blue bargain dress get paired with classic black heels and my grandmother's black faux-pearl earrings. Presto: Two fresh looks for my readings and parties. We also put together seven new outfits, using the new bargain finds and clothes that I already owned and had just never considered putting together.
The results: a fresh new look and attitude, without just following the trends. And because I got creative and shopped smarter, I've spent much less that I would have if I had just bought a super expensive off-the-rack new look. I feel all the richer for it.

Buying A Home: The 10 Best States for Babies
3. Maine
Jessie Hartland
Jessie Hartland
- Recently strengthened its lead-poisoning-prevention program; it now tests all the state's 1- to 2-year-olds who live or spend more than 10 hours weekly in a house built before 1950 or one built before 1978 that was remodeled in the last six months
- Is one of eight states that ban smoking in all restaurants
- Doubles the state's childcare tax credit if a child attends an accredited facility
Maine is one of nine states that require all the newborn screenings recommended by the March of Dimes. Shortly after birth, the state's babies receive a hearing exam plus a heel prick to test for nine rare but life-threatening conditions, such as sickle cell anemia (an inherited blood disease) and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (a metabolic disorder that can cause sudden death in infancy). In addition, the state is in the midst of a pilot program to check for 12 additional illnesses. Some states, by contrast, screen for just three conditions.
"Every year, our program identifies dozens of infants who have hearing loss and 10 to 15 newborns who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses," says Ellie Mulcahy, director of the genetics program at the Maine Department of Human Services in Augusta. "By diagnosing these conditions within days of birth, we can start treatment immediately and hopefully save lives."

CNN's Managing Editor sent an email around the office today, praising Candy Crowley and trying to blunt criticism that she was unfair to Mitt Romney.
The email -- sent by Mark Whitaker and obtained by TMZ -- is almost a series of talking points to address Candy's critics.
Here's the full email:
"Let's start with a big round of applause for Candy Crowley for a superb job under the most difficult circumstances imaginable. She and her team had to select and sequence questions in a matter of hours, and then she had to deal with the tricky format, the nervous questioners, the aggressive debaters, all while shutting out the pre-debate attempts to spin and intimidate her. She pulled it off masterfully.
The reviews on Candy's performance have been overwhelmingly positive but Romney supporters are going after her on two points, no doubt because their man did not have as good a night as he had in Denver. On the legitimacy of Candy fact-checking Romney on Obama's Rose Garden statement, it should be stressed that she was just stating a point of fact: Obama did talk about an act (or acts) of terror, no matter what you think he meant by that at the time. On why Obama got more time to speak, it should be noted that Candy and her commission producers tried to keep it even but that Obama went on longer largely because he speaks more slowly. We're going to do a word count to see whether, as in Denver, Romney actually got more words in even if he talked for a shorter period of time."
TMZ broke the story ... some honchos at CNN want the criticism to go away, even though it's shining a light on one of their most high-profile personalities -- and you just can't buy this type of publicity.
Candy and eye candy working together. Candy was the worst. She lied for eye candy. Candy had it in for Romney from the start. Not to worry America got to see it all. She was the worst moderator ever. We should put Ann Coulter in for eye candy and see what happens. Eye candy would be whining until the end of time.

Obama is a slow talker and Mitt is a slick talker. It is what it is. Do what Snyder did refuse to debate and sock it to us after you get elected.
A word count?! If the number of words mattered more than the time count, Romney should have spoken incredibly slowly – he should have spoken at approximately two words a minute, then taken up 80 minutes of the debate. He'd have been gypped on time, according Whitaker – he'd only have spoken 160... words. If CNN is now going to account for speaking cadency, they're punishing people who are articulate, and rewarding people who say "um" a lot. Call it Obama missing telemprompter affirmative action.
it doesn't matter who you support - a moderator never inserts themselves into a debate period! -between that stupid format that let them wonder around and her insinuating herself into the debate - cnn is the loser!
The Obama people including the CNN Obama cheer leaders really do think we are idiots. Candy Crowley was so far up Obama's butt she saw Paris.
Good Lawd the GOP are whiners, please just take your lumps like a grownups. Candy did a fine job.
OMG OMG OMG can't believe this letter. This CANNOT be true!!
"but that Obama went on longer largely because he speaks more slowly." OMG are you freaking kidding me?????????? Did they decide that before? OMGGGGGGGGG this so un****ing believable!
They got called on their obvious partisan moderator & this is their spin. Obama certainly performed better than the last debate, but to send in an obvious Obama supporter was cheap...really. Let's get someone who is truly unbiased!
CNN is like the rest of the mainstream media with their head up BO"s keester. what moron would write let alone send out such a stupid letter. Word count really, he speaks so... so what it's timed response, it doesn't matter how many words.
Candy Crowley should not fact-check someone in a debate. Especially since she was WRONG! This email shows how pathetic CNN has become. No wonder why at least 60% of the public no longer trust the media. Also, did anyone else catch it when Candy said on CNN that democrats and the republicans in the room each applauded during her pathetic ordeal? I thought this was a group of undecided voters? I hope everyone out there is smart enough to actually look up and study the issues. You will find out that the Democrat Party is not the party of tolerance and helping others. It's the party of using others for their advantage. Using minorities and women to benefit their causes. Also, it's pathetic that democrats have degraded women by assuming that all they care about is abortion and contraception. This is such a pathetic low blow to all women. Sorry democrats and media, but women are smarter and better than that. They care about the economy. They aren't blinded by the pathetic charade that this administration has created over the last four years. In the end, Obama will lose this election, and the little candy shop of horrors, is going to cause backlash that will secure Romney the presidency.
CNN cannot hide their bias. Voters don't want to
hear the moderator's opinions or see a debate so
This was a debacle. If I wasn't fully for Romney prior
to this (I voted for Obama the first time but will not
again) I certainly will vote for him now!
Saw these on comments section on Breitbart, any truth to these? They both make me feel queasy.

Proof Obama had questions in advance and was schooled to the questions ...very disturbing proof of cheating
2nd video 1:06 :35
Obama knew who Kerry, the questioner was, where his seat was, walks to him before he is supposed to know who the questioner even is.... starts to say Kerry's name before he is supposed to know...realizes what he has done...proving Obama had questions in advance and Crowley was in on it!
At 1:05:25....directs Candy to move on
Kerry may or may not know..I'd like to see Kerry watch that clip and comment
Obama without a TelePrompTer had to cheat
Myviewpoint 2 comments collapsed CollapseExpand
What's a guy like Barack Obama who at the last tax report had roughly about $7 million to his name, which supposedly came from money he'd made from book sales, plus his Presidential salary, which as is know not all that much for what the job entails, so what's a guy like Barack Obama who isn't all that rich by being rich standards, looking at homes in Hawaii worth in the neighborhood of $35 million dollars? Obama doesn't have that much money, even if he were to sell off his home in depressed Chicago.
Where's he getting all of this money all of a sudden, where's he getting all of these millions? Who's he been giving large contracts to, that would kickback enough money for Obama to feel financially comfortable enough to look at $35 million dollar homes on an income that only amounts to at best $9 million?
I sense another investigation will take place soon that's yet to unearth another side of this shady character from [who knows where] America.
Not that it matters, but Candy suddenly cares how she
looks, so obviously has either had a masterful makeup
artist or something altering her face.
Who cares who said more words? The time is what was supposed to be moderated and failed. When the debate started what Crowley said was you will each be given two minutes each to speak not you will be given so many words.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/17/13 -- Kaminak Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE: KAM) today announced results for 37 drill holes from the ongoing 2013 drilling campaign at the Coffee Gold Project, Yukon Territory. Drilling successfully intersected gold mineralization in 32 out of the 37 drill holes and identified new, shallow, predominately oxidized gold-bearing structures within the Supremo-Latte area which is host to the majority of the 3.2Moz NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate consisting of 64 million tonnes grading at 1.56 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") at a base case cut-off of 0.5g/t Au for Oxide and Transitional material and a 1g/t Au cut-off for Sulphide material. Specifically, drill results are presented from the Connector Zone where the Supremo T2, T3 and T4 zones intersect the Latte East trend, and from the Supremo T1 and T2 zones.
-- Supremo - Latte Connector Zone: Multiple oxide gold-bearing structures intersected within this complex fracture zone marking the intersection point between the Supremo and Latte mineralized structures. Results include: 4.49 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 7.62 metres from 38.10 metres downhole; and 7.85g/t Au over 3.05m from 94.49m. Additional drill testing to better understand the overall potential of this prospective new interpreted dilation zone will be completed in the coming weeks.-- T2: Drill testing south along the T2 trend was established as a priority of the 2013 drilling campaign, given its close proximity to T3 and the potential for accessing both T2 and T3 from a single open pit, click link: http://kaminak.com/_resources/T2_Drilling_objective.pdf. Drilling successfully intercepted additional, near surface oxide gold mineralization and extended T2 750m to the south (total strike length now exceeding 1.5km), linking it to the Latte trend. T2 is one of at least seven parallel structures labeled T1-T7 identified within the Supremo Zone. Drilling has now successfully extended four of these structures - T2, T3, T4 and T5 - to individual strike lengths in excess of one kilometer, and in addition, drilling has connected all of them to the east-west Latte-Double Double trend.-- Supremo-T1-2 Link: Drilling confirmed the presence of a mineralized structure linking the Supremo T1 & 2 trends. Drill results include: 14.88g/t over 4.58m from 39.62m.
Kaminak President and CEO, Eira Thomas, commented: "Kaminak remains focused on delineating those zones within the Supremo-Latte-Double Double area that have the greatest potential to impact future mining economics. The initial results from Connector, located at the intersection of Supremo and Latte are encouraging, providing evidence of a potentially important dilation zone that will require further drill testing in the near term. Kaminak also successfully extended T2 750 metres along strike and has added proximal, near surface, oxide mineralization along the margin of the T3 conceptual pit, a primary goal of our 2013 drilling campaign. This drilling also provides further support that these deposits are all linked as part of a single, large, structurally controlled hydrothermal gold system, collectively comprising more than 10 kilometres of mineralized strike and still open".
Drilling Results
The drilling program is ongoing with one reverse circulation (RC) drill turning and a diamond core drill, which commenced drilling in late May. Almost 28,000 metres of drilling has been completed to date. Drilling is predominantly focused on targeting those areas that could positively impact mining economics by extending proximal, near surface oxide mineralization in the vicinity of the known deposits. Specifically, Kaminak is aiming to delineate additional mineralization along- and across-strike on the Supremo 'T' structures and the Latte West trend. Priority is also being given to the ongoing testing of previously undrilled geochemical anomalies in the Supremo-Latte-Double Double area. The 2013 Phase 1 exploration program remains on schedule and budget to complete 35,000 metres of drilling for $11M.
Supremo-Latte Connector Zone
The Supremo-Latte Connector Zone is interpreted to be a highly prospective area for increased deformation, fluid flow and mineralization due to the intersection of the north-south Supremo T2, 3 and 4 trends with the east-west Latte trend. Reverse circulation ('RC') drilling targeted zones peripheral to the existing resource with the aim to extend mineralization along strike, across strike and to surface.
The drill results identified new mineralized structures on the Supremo T2 and Latte trends. On Supremo T2 additional drilling across-strike on the 3300N section broadened the T2 mineralized corridor to a total of 100m across-strike comprising up to three close-spaced steeply dipping structures. When the adjacent T3 trend is also taken into account, the total width across strike further extends to 200m and comprises five stacked structures spaced at 25-100m apart. T2 intercepts on the 3300N section include: 7.85g/t Au over 3.05m from 94.49m (CFR-458), and 3.28g/t Au over 16.76m from 105.16m (CFR-462; drilled sub-parallel to strike).
Drilling also targeted the southward extension of the Supremo T2 and T3 structures towards their projected intersection with the Latte trend, but instead intersected east-west trending mineralized structures interpreted as a broadening of the overall Latte mineralized envelope to a width of approximately 50m. Latte intercepts on the 3250N fence include: 0.69g/t au over 19.82m from 9.14m (CFR-465) and 1.38g/t Au over 9.15m from 70.10m (CFR-466) (both intercepts oblique to strike).
Additional diamond core drilling is planned to further delineate the structural interpretation and to test the intersection between the north-south and east-west striking structures which may be prospective for plunging mineralized shoots.
Drilling was also completed on the eastern portion of the Latte trend with the objective to target near surface mineralization. Intercepts include: 1.41g/t Au over 22.86m from 10.67m (CFR-463) and 4.49g/t Au over 7.62m from 38.10m (CFR-464).
Supremo T1 and T2
An interpreted linking structure between the T1 and T2 trends was tested with four RC holes, adding approximately 200m along strike of near surface oxide mineralization. Intersections included: 14.88g/t over 4.58m from 39.62m (CFR-473).
The T2 structure was traced approximately 750m southwards along the interpreted strike extension of the trend based on gold-in-soil geochemistry and aeromagnetic data. This round of drilling in the southern portion of the T2 structure returned values up to 4.24g/t Au over 1.53m from 27.43m (CFR-454) and 4.44g/t over 1.53m from 96.01m (CFR-457). An oblique splay structure from the main T2 trend, which may link with the Latte North trend based on aeromagnetic interpretation, returned results including 1.09g/t Au over 10.67m from 19.81m and 2.31g/t Au over 9.14m from 106.68m (CFR-447).

Stanford was 11 of 57 from the field (19.3 percent). It was the worst shooting percentage in program history and its lowest since UConn held it to 26.5 in the 2010 national championship game in San Antonio.
It's 11 field goals was also a program low. And its 26-point loss was its first of 20 or at home since 1986.
Not only was this UConn's first win ever at Maples- after three defeats – it ended Stanford's 82-game home winning streak and likely cost it the top ranking in both polls.
Come Monday, when UConn (11-0) plays at Oregon (2-9), the Huskies likely will be the nation's new No. 1.

Loveland, OH
When I was honored as the 2000 Crave Time Cook-Off Recipe Winner in October, I knew I was living the best year of my life. Driving home from my award ceremony on a local TV show, I made a decision. I was going to share my joy and have a White Castle Christmas! Instead of just dreaming of a White… CASTLE Christmas, I took several steps to make it happen.
Step 1: Create 100 Christmas ornaments out of the blue White Castle hamburger boxes. My husband spent a month cutting and laminating my recipe to the bottom and back of the boxes. I then made Santa out of round ornaments covered with felt, fur, curly hair and bells. Besides hanging them all over our Christmas trees and doorways, White Castle Santas were given away, with Castle gift certificates, of course.
Step 2: Put up outdoor decorations. We had two Christmas parties, one birthday and one retirement party during the holidays. These required finding our house. But it was easy for most. It was the one with a 50-foot White Castle logo stretched across the entire house in blue twinkle lights and a 16-foot "CRAVE" in lights across the fence.
Step 3: Use White Castle bags as gift wrap for smaller gifts and cut up Slider® boxes, using all four sides as gift tags.
Step 4: Give away my winning White Castle recipe to all that drive by the house! We painted an old real estate sign to read "Free Recipes" and taped burger boxes all over the sign. More than 200 Spicy White Castle dip recipes were picked up throughout the holidays.
Step 5: Turn a White Castle T-shirt into a holiday dress fit for a White Castle queen! I sewed shiny blue sequins around the neck and safety-pinned a blue feather boa wrap around the hem. A black turtleneck and tights complemented the gown beautifully. "White Castle Blue" high heels topped off my very special look.
Step 6: Feed Santa's Crave! Give him White Castle hamburgers and pack some for Rudolph!
Step 7: Have fun. White Castle is not just a restaurant. It's more. It's an experience. Fun is the kind of emotion a little hamburger in a box has created in my family, especially this Christmas.

It all started in 1932, when my grandfather, Charles, took up a paper route at the tender age of 14. Most of the meager salary he received (as this was the heart of the Depression) went toward buying a dozen of the juicy Sliders®. Now, you might suppose that he would pace himself, savoring the wonderful burgers and enjoying one or two at a time for several days. But, of course, he couldn't wait. He devoured them all in one sitting. He loved White Castle so much that it became a drain on his paperboy finances.
This undying love for a hamburger chain seemed to have spanned generations and soon enough, Charles introduced his son Scott, my father, to these glorious little fast-food miracles. They frequented White Castle together. On one occasion when my dad was also about 14, they went on a routine trip to the local branch. After hearing for years how many burgers his father had eaten, my father, in a single act of bravery when asked how many burgers he wanted, promptly ordered a dozen for himself. Unwilling to deny my dad such a wonderful meal, my grandfather ordered the dozen for him and watched his son eat all 12 of the sandwiches. A few hours later, my dad wasn't so glad he had made the brave decision and it was then he learned a valuable lesson: You can get too much of a good thing.
My dad grew up and started a family of his own. I can remember even as a small child anticipating the occasions when we would go to the drive-thru. My brother and I would be handed the warm, steaming, white and blue paper bags, the perfect heater on a cold winter day. It was one of the most inviting and delicious smells I can recall and even to this day, as I am 16 now, I make as many trips to my favorite fast-food chain as possible. I can recall one instance, during my freshman year of high school and my first year of marching band. It was my first State Finals Competition and my parents came to cheer me on. After the competition and placing third in the state, I was told I could pick anywhere I wanted to eat. Where did I go? You guessed it! That magical palace, White Castle. And even as I type this, there are 27 burgers in our freezer, waiting for a food crisis, like a nuclear holocaust, or just until we get really hungry, which could be any minute now!
So to all those people who say that love is between two people, I ask, "Man, have you guys ever tried one of these? It's the only way you could understand." Oh and one more thing… guess what's for dinner tonight!

I used to be in TV news. As the assignment editor and field producer for Chicago's ABC7 News, I often found myself teaming up with a cameraman and heading out to cover breaking news stories. One hot summer day in 1984, there was a major prison riot downstate, so the cameraman and I quickly boarded SKYCAM, our trusty helicopter, and began our trek to southern Illinois.
We were in the air for about five minutes when hunger struck. With three live broadcasts drawing closer, we knew that landing for food would require two things we didn't have – extra time and an empty field far away from any restaurants.
Then we flew over Berwyn, Illinois, and saw my hometown White Castle at the corner of Harlem and Ogden. Amazingly, I remembered there was an empty field just two blocks away. "Land in that forest preserve field," I ordered the pilot.
I then ran two blocks and ordered 25 White Castles, some shakes and onion rings. I dashed back to the helicopter and we were off again. We ate as we hovered over the riot scene, beaming the live shots back to Chicago. Even a working TV news team has time to feed a White Castle craving!

When I was eight years old, my parents decided I had a talent for the violin. I soon became very reluctant to go to my lessons, instead wanting to stay around the neighborhood and play with friends. My older brother hated the idea of having to accompany me to the lessons because of my age. He, too, had other priorities. It would be an understatement to say that after several months of this weekly routine, the two of us began resisting.
My mother finally proposed a deal. She offered to give us each a nickel to buy an ice cream cone on our return trip from the violin lesson. It sounded like a good idea, but an ice cream cone was certainly not worth the two hours of playing with our friends that we had to forgo. Our response was a resounding, "No!"
But she reached into her idea bank and instead proposed that on our return trip, we stop at White Castle for one hamburger each. We jumped at her revised proposal.
We became Saturday regulars. The waitress would see us coming and have our two White Castles with extra mustard waiting for us when we opened the door. This continued for many years, even without my brother, on into high school. Two then became my regular order – with extra mustard, of course.
Years later I entered college. Though years had passed and I had moved, a White Castle waitress would see me coming on my way from classes to work and she'd always have my Sliders® ready. By now, my regular order was comprised of four burgers, always with extra mustard. This went on for six years – the routine never changed – and I never lost my taste and appreciation for Sliders.
I am now seventy. I have made it through violin lessons, undergraduate college and graduate school and have led a good and prosperous life. I even play the violin for my own enjoyment now! All this because of White Castle.

Dan Mack, proud sibling of Colleen Kish wrote:
In the summer of 1991, I was stationed in Holy Loch, Scotland, fixing submarines for the U.S. Navy. My sister Colleen came to visit me and brought along a little something special.
Colleen had put 25 frozen cheeseburgers in a small cooler, which she had then put inside her suitcase. She then smuggled them to me, escorting the Sliders® from Detroit to Glasgow. I don't know if I ever asked her what she said when customs asked if she had anything to declare. Some things you just don't want to know, like how to explain cheeseburgers in your luggage if they are found.
I had some cheeseburgers the day she arrived. Being a good sister, she was kind enough not to eat any, knowing what a treat they were for me. The next day, I took some of the remaining Sliders to the ship where some lucky co-workers and I polished them off. The smell of those steam-grilled burgers wafted throughout our ship. Many people stopped by our shop and commented that it smelled like a White Castle. A few select people got a delicious cheeseburger, but most got only the scent and an assurance that any cheeseburgers were just their imagination. Now it can be told: Yes, there were White Castles on the USS Simon Lake and they were better than you remembered them!
For the above, I feel Colleen Kish should receive the highest award a civilian can get from White Castle – entrance into the Craver's Hall of Fame.

In 1966, I met a man named Lloyd. He worked the late shift, so when we went out, the only place that was always open was White Castle. We loved White Castles almost as much as we loved each other. We dated like this for quite a while, but we broke up. I also worked at the time and made $1.65 an hour. On almost all my paydays, I would take my mom and six younger brothers and sisters out to eat, always to White Castle. It made me miss him so much.
One payday, about nine months after Lloyd and I had broken up, I was standing in line at White Castle when my little twin brothers told me that I should look behind us. When I turned around and saw Lloyd smiling at me, I knew I still loved him. I gave my family their food and I went and sat with him. We ate White Castles and talked about our future.
This year we will celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary. Lloyd's family told me after we were married that he had said he just had to go back to his White Castle-eating girl. And after all these years, two daughters and a granddaughter, we still love each other and we still love White Castle. When we're out running errands, we still get the Crave. Lloyd always looks at me and says, "Do you want to stop and get a sack of White Castles to take home?" I just look at him and smile.

My name is Michelle Purcell and I am a Craver. Actually, my friends are surprised that I have not officially incorporated anything White Castle into my legal name.
My kitchen walls are a stencil motif of the White Castle building profile. Previously, just the border at the top had the motif. But when White Castle changed their wallpaper, I had no choice but to change mine too.
My right ankle bears a White Castle-pattern tattoo. My license plate displays "wtcstl 1," with a matching White Castle license plate holder, of course. My kitchen cabinets are filled with White Castle memorabilia. I even bought a Chicago jigsaw puzzle, which displays the city's landmarks. Somehow there were no White Castles on it. But don't worry, I fixed that.
I actually live in a small town in southern Illinois. My closest Craver fix would be quite a drive to St. Louis or Chicago. Even though I'm far from a White Castle, I still can't deny my Craver Ways.

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1962, I went to work with TWA at the airport. My job was to load the baggage, cargo and in-flight meals onto the aircraft. Many of us worked the night shift while we were going to flight school during the day. Our lunch was often White Castle. As we had about 75 people working the late shift, we placed huge orders for several hundred burgers. The local
White Castle thought it was a prank the first few times until we actually showed up to pay; then they believed us.
Over the years, many co-workers were transferred to different parts of the country. Most of my co-workers were now in cities that didn't have a White Castle. But the airline maintained a phone system that allowed instant communication throughout their entire system. So during our shift in St. Louis, we would take orders from all over the TWA system and then load the White Castles onto the next flight that was headed their way.
As word of our little delivery system spread, one of our agents out west decided to throw a White Castle party and ordered 500 burgers. We put them on a plane and a helpful flight attendant kept them in the oven and heated them up just before arrival.
We definitely heard from the management staff on that one, as that particular flight had no meal service, but the passengers could smell the burgers heating up in the oven. We were lucky our Slider® system survived after that!

I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, went through college there and left at the age of 21, some 42 years ago. As a young man, I visited the White Castle near my home at least twice a week, never realizing that I had developed the Crave for those burgers.
Now that I don't live anywhere near a White Castle, I have driven from my home in Georgia to Nashville, Tennessee – a 5-hour drive – at least once a month just to have lunch at White Castle. I've looked over my old calendars and during the past 10 years, I have made 290 trips just for a White Castle!

One snowy Christmas Eve, about 10 o'clock at night, we were on our way home for the evening. "Oh no! We don't have any cookies for Santa," I said to my husband. Our 3-year-old son started to cry. "He won't come now," he said. We looked around for a party store. Nothing was open. Then we saw White Castle. It was open! We stopped and bought two burgers. "Santa will like our house best," our son said. We set the burgers on the cookie plate with a beer.
We've done that every year since. Our son is 5 1/2 now and if you ask him what Santa likes best, he'll say, "Two White Castle burgers and a beer!"

NORTH JUDSON — The Easter Train will be riding the rails once again. This year's train will depart Saturday, April 19 from the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum. The easter train journey will be the first excursion for the 2014 season.
Oregon-Davis Superintendent Greg Briles welcomed more than 100 interested citizens, teachers and students to a special community meeting April 3. A variety of topics were presented, including the proposed balanced school calendar as well as other plans at the elementary and junior/senior high schools.
"It's not a done deal," said Briles of the balanced calendar. "It wouldn't take effect until the 2015-2016 school year." He added that comments received at Knox and North Judson-San Pierre showed a 70 to 80 percent approval rating, "But we will do what the people at O-D want."
KNOX — Black, billowing clouds of smoke filled the evening sky for miles last Thursday evening as flames engulfed C&C Salvage on U.S. 35 and Toto Road in Knox.
Bass Lake Fire Department was the first of eight departments called to the scene to battle the fiery inferno: Hamlet, Knox, Koontz Lake, Monterey, North Judson, Washington Township and San Pierre also responded.
See this week's Leader for full story.
STARKE Co. — Absentee voting by mail is going on now. Voters need to contact the election office to get the mail or travel board absentee voting form.

STARKE — "A balanced calendar is not the same as a year-round calendar" is the statement repeated throughout the presentations on the balanced school calendar during the recent public meetings at Knox and North Judson-San Pierre schools. It simply more evenly distributes the existing 180-day school year.
NJ-SP Superintendent Lynn Johnson presented information at two public meetings, with a total attendance of approximately 80 students, family members and others from the community.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Reviews are obviously old and experiences before the new principal moved in. This school used to be and A and now is a D grade school and is terrible! Had to remove my kid. Problem kids are removed from classrooms for a few then returned. They tolerate misbehavior, treat kids like they are savages and keep parents away from even volunteering, and you can imagine why. My child told me all the time how teachers screamed at them like they were in prison. My kids grades improved a whole lot since requesting a transfer to a better grade school.
i was a student at northmore and it was the best 5 years of my life. the school is well educated and it has excellent teachers, strong principal. i learned a lot of things at northmore that some people dont know also i meet all my friends there. i really aprove that you send all your kids there.
I am a proud parent of two Northmore Elementary School students. My little panthers are growing and learning a lot in this A school enviroment. All of the teachers and staff are respectful and encourage the students to rise above the challenges put before them.
Northmore is a GREAT elementary school with caring teachers and involved parents.
Its a great loving school.
this school is more than good!!!! the principal and the staff are excellents!! i transfer my daugther last year from an A magnet school to this one and i don't have any regrets!!

The Wichita State Shockers (22-0, 9-0) took down the Loyola (Ill) Ramblers (8-13, 3-6) Tuesday night to remain one of three undefeated teams in the country.
The Shockers totally out manned the Ramblers in the first half by doubling Loyola's point total by intermission, 36-18. They coasted through the second half for the 57-45 win.
Cleanthony Early was the only Shocker to score more than 7 points as the Ramblers had now answer for the star forward. Early poured in 23 points on the night. Fred Van Vleet had the better all around game though but pulling in 8 rebounds to lead his team, and dishing out a game high 9 assists. He scored 3 points and had two steals.
Milton Doyle paced the Rambler with 16 points but no one else reached double digits. Nick Osborne (8) and Jeff White (7) topped Loyola in rebounds.
The game was ugly from a shooter's point of view. The two teams combined to go 37 for 103 from the field – just 35.9%. Loyola was 18 for 51, for 35.3%, and Wichita State was just one shot better, going 19 for 52 for 36.5%.
All of that horrid shooting led to a lot of rebounds and the Shockers just dominated the glass, out rebounding the the Ramblers 44-28.
Wichita State climbed to number 4 in the nation this week in the AP poll, 3rd in the Coaches poll, 8th in CBSSports.com's rankings, and 9th in the CBSSports.com RPI. (You can view all four rankings right here.)
The Shockers are playing inferior competition but there are not slipping up, and giving any of these teams from the Missouri Valley Conference an opportunity to knock them off. They are playing with a workman like efficiency, winning most of their games comfortably.
Each game takes them closer to an undefeated regular season, and they are starting to gain some national attention. Their game with the Evansville Aces on Saturday will be broadcast on ESPNU at 2 p.m. CST.

Frequently Asked Questions
- + Expand All
- - Collapse All
What is the Indian Health Service (IHS) proposing to build in California?
The IHS is planning to build two Youth Regional Treatment Centers (YRTC) in California. The proposed centers will provide residential chemical dependency treatment for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, ages 12-17. There are 12 similar IHS-funded centers around the country. The treatment programs are usually 3 to 4 months in duration and incorporate mental health services, medical care, education, aftercare planning, and family therapy. In addition, YRTCs incorporate therapeutic activities to meet the unique spiritual and cultural needs of AI/AN youth. The facilities will be nationally accredited and State licensed. They will be staffed by a team of mental health care professionals, medical providers, and traditional healers who will work in concert to treat the whole person. Each facility will offer services for as many as 32 youth at a time.
Why is the IHS proposing the YRTCs?
The U.S. Congress authorized the YRTCs in the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. In 1992, Congress amended the Act authorizing IHS to construct and operate two YRTCs in California, one to serve northern California, and one to serve the remainder of the state. Currently, most of California's Indian youth who receive residential chemical dependency treatment are sent to out-of-state facilities. Often, out-of-state programs do not address the unique cultural needs of Indian youth, and cannot offer effective family therapy. These facilities do not have the capacity to meet the need in California, and often Indian youth and their families experience long delays before they receive care. Some receive no residential treatment at all. The new YRTCs in California will be an important step to helping thousands of Indian youth in California who need residential care.
Who will the YRTCs serve?
The proposed YRTCs will serve AI/AN youth, ages 12-17. They will primarily serve youth in California, but could serve youth from across the country.
Are they detention treatment centers? Will they house violent criminals?
No. Our YRTCs are voluntary chemical dependency treatment centers. They only admit youth whose parents or guardians consent to their treatment, and they screen out youth who are likely to be dangerous. YRTCs do not admit youth who have been charged with or convicted of violent crimes. Clients of the YRTCs follow a strict daily schedule, are monitored 24-hours per day and are not allowed to leave the facilities unescorted.
The new treatment centers will expand and complement existing IHS-funded, Tribally managed behavioral health services in California. The YRTCs will provide comprehensive and holistic care, including:
- Mental health assessments, health care services, and individualized treatment plans
- Structured chemical dependency programs (e.g., 12-step programs)
- Individual, group, and family therapy
- Academic education
- Activities to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of Native American Youth
- 32 beds (16 male; 16 female) plus 6 beds for close observation
- Five suites for families to participate in the treatment program
Does the IHS operate similar treatment centers?
Yes. The IHS funds 12 YRTCs nationally. The IHS operates five of the YRTCs and contracts with Tribes to operate the remaining seven. Some of the YRTCs have been operating continuously for almost 20 years.
Will the treatment centers affect public safety in the neighborhoods?
The IHS respects the concerns that the treatment center may represent a risk to public safety. The YRTCs' staff will screen out youth who are likely to be dangerous and will not admit youth who have been charged with or convicted of violent crimes. The programs will have around-the-clock nursing supervision and electronic surveillance of the buildings and grounds, and the youth are not allowed to leave the facilities unescorted. Youth at YRTCs must adhere to a strict, time-consuming schedule that includes lights-out at 10 p.m. during the week, and 11 p.m. on weekends. Youth at other YRTCs have chosen to leave on their own to return home, and this will likely happen at this site. However, they are not violent criminals and when they leave the YRTC, they do so to go home. Almost 20 years of experience tells us that this rarely happens and when it does, youth quickly leave the community.
Will the treatment centers bring revenue and/or jobs to the local communities?
We believe that each YRTC's projected $4 million annual budget should provide modest benefits to the local economy. The combined budget to construct the two facilities is approximately $34 million. The budgets for construction and operations could provide the local communities with new jobs and new customers for local businesses. Each treatment center will employ about 70 people, including:
- 27 certified health care and mental health professionals,
- 23 resident attendants and peer counselors,
- 13 maintenance and food service workers,
- 5 administrative staff, and
- 2 teachers
IHS will accept applications from the local community. However, it's impossible to predict how many of the jobs will be filled by local community members. IHS must comply with the Federal Indian Preference hiring policy which ensures that members of federally-recognized Tribes qualified for IHS vacancies receive first consideration. On average, at other YRTCs, 50 percent of the employees were hired under Indian Preference.
What will the YRTC's look like?
Each YRTC is unique. However, all incorporate the physical environment in the healing process, and their success relies, in part, on respect for and preservation of the land. The proposed YRTC will not look institutional or commercial. The IHS will pay special attention to the natural character of the land. The IHS will ensure that any new buildings will blend with the environment and exist in harmony with the neighborhood. We will employ state-of-the-art green technology to create eco-friendly structures. The two facilities will be the first that the IHS will build in California and will be models for treatment centers of the future. Ultimately, these facilities will support the IHS mission, in partnership with Indian people, to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of the Indian population to the highest level.
Will there be more information available to the community? How can the community provide input about the treatment center and the IHS' plans?
We understand how important it is that the community supports our plans. Community members and the public have a right to voice their concerns and provide feedback about the project. The IHS has a responsibility to provide factual information, listen to the community, and respond in a timely fashion.
We are seeking community input about the YRTC project, and we welcome your questions.
