Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Growing up, my family didn't do a lot of doughnut-eating. The popular treats were never in the house, so we'd only have them once in a while, usually if there was a function after church. As a result, I never became much of a doughnut connoisseur. That being said, I certainly did have my favorites when I was presented with a box of doughnuts. They were, in this order: Boston cream, the ones with chopped nuts around the outside, and cinnamon-sugar. Last year, I made my first batch of homemade buttermilk doughnuts and tried three different varieties – chocolate-glazed, vanilla-glazed and cinnamon-sugar coated. My favorite was, by far, the cinnamon-sugar variety.
Over the last month I've been filing up my Doughnuts board on Pinterest with tons of different awesome-sounding recipes, including pumpkin. When I came across a recipe for pumpkin muffins that mimic the texture and flavor of pumpkin doughnuts with a cinnamon-sugar coating, I knew I was in business!
Once I saw the recipe, I recalled other muffin recipes I had seen on some other sites that used the same type of technique to mimic the flavor of a doughnut. Once the muffins come out of the oven and are still warm, they're brushed with melted butter and then immediately rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture. The result is a fabulous pumpkin-flavored muffin with a doughnut-like cinnamon-sugar coating. They are every bit melt-in-your-mouth fantastic as you could imagine.
I love how much the pumpkin flavor in these shines through, and I love that these taste just like a pumpkin doughnut, but have the advantage of being baked, and not fried. Not as much fat, not as much effort, not as time-consuming, and not as much mess. That translates to a perfect Sunday morning treat!
One year ago: The Baked Brownie
Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Yield: 12 muffins
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
For the Muffins:
10 tablespoons (5 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
2½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup buttermilk
1¼ cups pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup granulated sugar
2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour 12 standard muffin cups.
2. Make the Muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and pumpkin; set aside.
3. Beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to low, then add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of the pumpkin mixture, beating until barely combined. Turn off the mixer and fold the batter a few times with a rubber spatula to catch any pockets of flour that weren't incorporated.
4. Divide the batter evenly between the muffins cups (about a heaping 1/3 cup batter). Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let the muffins cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
5. Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: While the muffins are resting, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Working with one muffin at a time, remove the muffins from the pan, brush all over with the melted butter, then toss to coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Return to the wire rack and let cool completely.

All I can say is OMG!!
I swore off baking for 2 weeks on Friday, because last week from Tuesday to Friday afternoon I had made the Baked Brownie for myself and then volunteered to make 100 cupcakes to sell for my sons Fall Festival at school to raise money for his kindergarten class. Oy! And I couldn't just do simple either. I did the chocolate salted caramel and Vanilla made to look like candy corn. WHAT WAS I THINKING!
I sold out of all 100 in just over an hour. The event lasted 3. OOPS!
Well, now it looks like I'll be giving in and making these little treats tomorrow. Curse you, Michelle! 😉
I have a really simple recipe for pumpkin muffins if any one is inerested. Spice cake and a can of pumpkin, bake in mini muffin pans and then top with cinnamon sugar
Thanks Kim — Yours sound pretty good too. And the posted recipe sounds divine. This is why I can't swear off baked goods as hard as I think about trying!!!
Can i also have the recipe of l8m. I'd like to try both. Can you please send it to my email address : firstname.lastname@example.com. tnx much
Oh oh oh oh oh, these look tremendous. I love pumpkin spice doughnuts, and I know everyone is on a doughnut craze right now, but I can't stand the idea of the mess in my tiny kitchen. These are the answer!! A local bakery makes something similarly rolled in cinnamon-sugar, but not with pumpkin. You win 🙂
Wow. I'm no baker but these turned out DELISH. I added cinnamon chips to the batter and thought they were a favorable addition. Part donut/part muffin. 100% awesome. Not too heavy or fragile, they stood up to the butter bath and sugar coating. I just finished delivering them to my neighbors because left alone with these are dangerous. Sign of a successful recipe. Thanks, BEB.
Hi Michelle! Made these today & there are now glorious smells in my kitchen. Thank you, kindly! The one thing I did that was really helpful was to put the cinnamon sugar mixture in a doubled-up brown paper lunch bag, and then carefully roll it around. Less on my hands and more on the muffins!
Thanks again!
Just in time for Halloween! Gotta try these soon!
While we're on the topic of holiday cooking, this newsletter I read is putting on a recipe contest. It looks like the top three entrants win some sort of prize.
If you're interested, here's a link with more info: https://apps.facebook.com/whcontests/the-natural-knowledge-247-holiday-recipe-contest
These were great!! Next time I will put some chocolate chips in them. I had everything on hand except the buttermilk, so I used 2 % with a dash of lemon juice and it was a perfect substitute. These would be good for mini muffins as well, maybe even better that way because they are really big!!!
I just made these with fresh sugar pumpkin puree and they're SO good! I lined the muffin pan and just sugared the tops because my Husband requested them that way (similar to something his mother made). We both loved them! Thanks for the recipe and I love the new site design. 🙂
I just wanted to follow up — these muffins kept well, we have two left and look forward to them. We both decided that only coated the top was a mistake and I'll definitely coat the whole muffin next time. So good!
We tried these and they were scrumptiously delightful!!! We doubled the recipe, and the only problem was that they came out to 36 muffins instead of 24. Also, we only had to cook it for 23 minutes, not 30. Those were our only problems. Otherwise, the muffins themselves were heavenly! Perfect texture and we loved the coating. Thanks!
Made these today as minimuffins. I incorrectly assumed 12 muffins = 24 minimuffins, but I made 24 mini and 12 regular (on the small side) muffins. I always seem to have way more batter than the recipe calls for. The batter is very doughy, seemed like if you left it, it would rise. I cooked the minimuffins for 20 minutes, which seems just right (not over cooked). I had cinnamon sugar and butter left over after coating all 36 muffins. I found after you got your brush saturated with the butter, you could coat 2-3 muffins with it. As someone else noted, the pumpkin flavor is not pronounced. I used my 8c glass measuring cup for the sugar/cinnamon bath, and it worked out great, especially with the minimuffins because I could shake it around and not have the mixture go all over the place.
Am I blind or the only one not getting it… ?? step #3 says "beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed…" but the ingredient list goes from buttermilk to brown sugar… how much butter is supposed to be used in the recipe and if you've made it already without it butter do they turn out ok?? thanks!
LOVED these muffins – so did my family! Making them again Thanksgiving morning. Shared on my blog!
I rarely leave comments for recipes. Usually, I just make sure I print that "good find" off and put it in my Top 100 and growing list of recipes. But THIS sweet crusty little GEM—Oh my Jesus.! And yes I believe in HIM. This muffin is SOOOO buttery, TENDER, moist, sweet and cinammonnn-yee. I know that's not a word—but it is now. You have GOT to make this. Don't comment and say stuff like "Oh this sounds delish or I have got to make this". Quit wasting your time and make this tonight!!! Please! Although muffins are a bit denser than cupcakes and oven temps vary…I automatically set my timer for 15-18 minutes. It's habit for little breads not knowing the specified minute to bake was…30??!. That seems like an extremely long time for such small delicious-ness…ness. My time was perfect. If in doubt do the tooth pick test. You won't be sorry. Great, Great recipe for a muffin.
Okay…I bought a can of Libby's Pumpkin that has been sitting in my pantry for a week now, with no recipe in sight, but your review sold me on this recipe! I too love it when someone actually tries a recipe then gives us feedback on how it went over. You seemed to have had excellent success…I'm gonna give it a try soon! Thanks.
I found this recipe on another site last week and made them Sunday for my Sunday school class. They were amazing and surprisingly moist. I left out the spices since I used pumpkin pie filling instead and added 1.5 tbsp of cinnamon. My picky father even asked me for the recipe. I can't wait to make them for my fiance when he gets stateside, he loves muffins 🙂
Truly one of the best Pumpkin treats I have ever tasted…just like sinking your teeth into a long anticipated Pumpkin Donut. I baked a batch for a girlfriend gathering and the effort in making these was worth every minute of time of preperation. Whatever you do bake a batch and share! Highly recommend!

The Dauphin County Gaming Advisory Board formally presented its recommendations Wednesday for how the county should spend at least $6.7 million generated from Hollywood Casino.
This is the money the county receives for hosting a casino and separate from the state funds designed to lower property taxes. The gaming board recommended a list of 49 projects -- including 23 that are listed as optional -- at a total cost of $8.5 million. If history is any indication, the Dauphin County Commissioners will likely authorize most of those projects when they vote at their 10 a.m. Feburary 13 meeting.
UPDATE: Listen to today's board meeting.
The advisory board received a record 100 applications for funds, according to board Chairman Justin Warren.
This is the fifth year of the program. Municipalities and nonprofits have become much better at building their grant requests to "leverage" money, Warren said. Rather than asking the board to cover the costs of a full project, municipalities are saying how they could use grant money to complete financing for a needed project.
If the Commissioners approved the board's recommendations, Warren said another $35.4 million would be invested by the receiving municipalities and nonprofits. If the Commissioners approved the optional recommendations as well, that investment jumps to $59.6 million. More than 1,144 permanent and construction jobs would be created, Warren said.
After the presentation to the Commissioners, Warren spoke about two projects specifically.
This is the fourth year in a row Harrisburg Area Community College has requested $250,000 for renovations and expansion of the Shumaker Public Safety Center. It has been approved the three previous year. As that work is nearly completed, Warren said he expects this will be the last year HACC applies for a grant for center construction.
"When the county has invested money in the project," Warren said, "it wants to see it through to completion."
Susquehanna Township sponsored a request for $25,000 to repair pipes at Wedgwood Hills Swim Club. The advisory board as listed that grant among its optional recommendations.
Though Wedgwood Hills is a private swim club, it is eligible because a municipality is sponsoring it.
"It is a municipal priority," Warren said. "It will impact a lot of people. It's not a lot of dollars to allow them to open in spring 2013."
During the presentation, Warren also noted that security improvements to Penn State's Middletown campus would also make the community safer for Middletown residents.
Here is the full list:
Host Community and contiguous municipalities
The advisory board created a scoring matrix to rate that favors East Hanover Township, where the casino is located, and its direct neighbors. The board is recommending those communities receive about 43 percent of the money.
-- East Hanover Twp: $2,064,000, for a new firehouse and public works building, a bridge project, a waste water treatment plant upgrade, and municipal vehicles and equipment. The board recommends the township also receive $130,000 that was unspent when previous projects finished under budget.
-- West Hanover Twp: $500,000 for reduction of firehouse debt.
-- Middle Paxton Twp: $400,000 for debt service for the shared municipal services building and a new pumper tanker, conditional on the township securing a loan for $235,000.
-- Derry Twp: $265,000 for fire apparatus debt and upgrading the Police Department's computer technology.
-- South Hanover Twp: $380,000 for land acquisition for a municipal and fire department complex, with a condition the township can not apply for future grants for this project until after ground is broken.
-- Rush and Jefferson Twp: $10,275 for a guide rail study for Carsonville Road.
Other municipalities and previously funded nonprofits
The board is recommending funding for 20 other Dauphin County communities and institutions, proposing they receive about 37 percent of the money.
-- Harrisburg: $409,000 for 10 new police patrol vehicles
-- Harrisburg Area Community College: $250,000 for renovations and expansion of the Shumaker Public Safety Center.

-- Susquehanna Twp/Capital Area Greenbelt: $50,000 for Greenbelt expansion.
Other recommended funding for municipalities and nonprofits
The board is suggesting doling out the remaining money to 23 organizations and municipalities. Many of these "optional funding" projects are small, a few thousand dollars, but not all of them.
-- Hamilton Health: $238,000 for unanticipated costs in health care center construction.

Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on Monday testified he paid more than $15,000 to a Dallas plastic surgery clinic two weeks after telling a judge he couldn't afford his monthly restitution payments to the City of Detroit.
When asked what the payment was for, he said only "something very personal for my wife."
Kilpatrick appeared before Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner in Detroit for a hearing on whether he can afford $6,000-a-month restitution payments, a condition of his 2008 plea deal on charges of obstruction of justice and assault.
Pressed by Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Athina Siringas, Kilpatrick confirmed he wrote a series of cashier's checks on April 9 to the Plastic Surgery Center of Dallas and an anesthesiologist.
That, just weeks after his attorney on March 24 filed a motion to lower his monthly payments.
• Complete coverage of the Kwame Kilpatrick hearings
In sum, Siringas alleged Kilpatrick spent about a half-million dollars between October 2008 and October 2009.
Kilpatrick resigned in 2008. He spent 99 days in jail and was ordered to repay the city $1 million.
Update: Kilpatrick testifies the procedure was to repair damage from hernia, birth complications

[G]etting everyone on board for a pre-packaged plan is easier said than done, said Douglas Bernstein, a bankruptcy attorney at Plunkett Cooney in the Detroit area.
"When it comes to a pre-packaged plan, the big question is whether he (Orr) would have enough acceptance going into court," he said. "He would need sufficient votes from all the creditor classes and that will not be easy."
One problem is that Detroit's creditors or stakeholders have different priorities. The main areas of uncertainty surround its unions and pension funds, which may not have much bargaining room and may feel their best chance lies in bankruptcy proceedings rather than a negotiated pre-packaged deal.
By holding out, the city's unions and pension funds would be setting up a legal battle that could lead all the way to the Supreme Court. At issue is a conflict between federal and state law: Michigan's state constitution specifically protects pensions and retirement benefits, but that clause is in tension with federal bankruptcy law. The unions would likely argue that the 10th Amendment "trumps the notion that federal law is supreme."If the Supreme Court rejected that argument, it would deal a major blow to public sector unions across the country. According to bankruptcy lawyer Michael Sweet, "The last thing (union pension funds) may want is for a judge to rule on that….Because if the judge ruled against them, it would open the floodgates." Every public sector union in the country would then be on notice that underfunded pension programs will ultimately be welshed on by cities and states.If the unions prevailed, though, federal bankruptcy law could be called into question elsewhere. Either way, it's a major blow to blue model government: either states' rights get a big boost or public sector unions take it on the chin.[Detroit image courtesy of Shutterstock]

Will he or won't he?
That is the question swirling around Saturday's scheduled varsity basketball game that has Muskegon Heights High School hosting Chicago's Whitney Young High School -- a team that boasts perhaps the sport's most famous last name.
Will Michael Jordan slip into town to watch his son, Marcus, who is a highly touted point guard for Whitney Young?
Keith Guy, athletic director and varsity basketball coach, said a visit by His Airness is still in question.
"We haven't heard yet," Guy said.
And if Jordan does attend, it's not a decision he's likely to announce beforehand. "He doesn't like a lot of publicity," Guy said.
If Michael Jordan is on the premises, Muskegon Heights will have some work to do regarding security. "If he comes, we'll have to."
Marcus Jordan, the youngest son of Michael Jordan, is a 6-3, 200-pound junior who is considered a Division I prospect as a guard.
Jordan has created a media buzz, with three of his games from last season being televised on ESPN when he played at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Ill., where his older brother, Jeffrey, also played.
He transferred before this season to Whitney Young, which is a selective-enrollment Chicago public school which is ranked among the nation's top high schools -- in both academics and athletics.
Heights will likely need to play its best to contain the Dolphins. Jordan missed two games in early January with a hip injury, but is expected to start on Saturday.
Scheduling Whitney Young is in line with Heights coach Keith Guy's philosophy to schedule the best possible opponents in preparation for the state tournament, which begins on Feb. 25. The Tigers are not in a conference, which is another reason for playing so many out-of-area opponents.
Among the other far-away opponents Heights has on the schedule this year are Saginaw Arthur Hill, Lansing Sexton, Saginaw Buena Vista, Flint Beecher, Benton Harbor and Detroit Consortium. Whitney Young is the only out-of-state school on Heights' schedule.
Heights, 9-4, is an honorable mention choice in the Associated Press boys basketball state rankings, which were released today.
Michael Jordan, a retired professional basketball player and active businessman, is regarded by many as the greatest basketball player of all time. His career included six league championships and five Most Valuable Player awards.
He retired as an active player from the Washington Wizards following the 2002-2003 season. Most of his years as a player were spent with the Chicago Bulls -- from 1984 to 1993 and from 1995 to 1998 -- where he logged all of his championships and MVP awards.
Muskegon Heights will face off against Whitney Young at 7:30 p.m. in the John Sydnor Gymnasium at Muskegon Heights High School, which is located at Sanford Street and Hovey Avenue.

1. While humble shepherds
watched their flocks
On Bethlehem's plain by night,
An angel sent from heaven appeared,
And filled the plains with light.
"Fear not," he said, for sudden dread
Had seized their troubled mind:
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
2. "To you in David's town,
this night
Is born, of David's line,
The Saviour, Who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:
The heav'nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
And meanly wrapt in swaddling band,
And in a mange laid."
3. Thus spake the seraph;
and forthwith
Appear'd a shining throng
Of Angels, praising God, and there
Addressed their joyful song;
All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good will is shown by heaven to men,
And never more shall cease.

Session 46 - Variable Stars - Late Type.
Display session, Thursday, January 08
Exhibit Hall,
Observations of eta Carinae from three separate epochs spanning a total of fifty years are used to measure the proper motions of several easily identifiable features in the homunculus. We conclude that the equatorial ejecta originated during the 1890 outburst, whereas the rest of the inner nebula was ejected during the bright phase of 1822 to 1856, peaking in the eruption of 1843. The expansion of the nebula is primarily linear, although irregularities exist, corresponding to a scatter of ejection dates within ten years of 1843. We detect a slight outwardly radial acceleration of condensations in the northwest lobe. This acceleration is consistent with earlier studies in the literature.

Lee's Summit Excels When it Comes to Quality of Lifen/a
PHOTO CREDIT: Stephen Cherry
There may be debate over the roots of the name Lee's Summit. Is it Lee for Gen. Robert E. Lee or Lea for Dr. Pleasant Lea' the town's only physician and an early settler?
While that fact may still be up for discussion' when it comes to quality of life in Lee's Summit' there's little to argue about.
Award-winning schools' gracious neighborhoods' a vibrant downtown business district and abundant parks all are part of the mix in this thriving community of about 80'000' located just west of Kansas City.
Local entrepreneur Jon Ellis and his wife used to travel through Lee's Summit on the way to graduate school and talk about what life might be like there.
"We said' 'You know' that would be a great place to live.' "
What they saw' he recalls' was a nicely developed community' clean and family-oriented.
"Every time we drove through it' it reminded us a lot of the areas where we grew up."
The couple moved to Lee's Summit 19 years ago and started a business and a family. Today' Ellis is CEO of Paradise Park' a family entertainment center.
Despite striking population increases over the decade between 1990 and 2000 – when the city grew by 52 percent – Lee's Summit remains a great place to live' Ellis says.
"The way it's all been planned' you can have parks and trails and woods all backing up to your neighborhood' if you like'" Ellis says. "At the same time' you can find good-quality growth going on as far as planning for what people want in a community.
"Green space' retail opportunities' recreational opportunities' quality schools' quality businesses' quality jobs – all those things have been coming along with this growth'" he adds.
The city boasts four lakes' where residents enjoy sailing and motor boating' and public golf courses serve those with a passion for the links.
Ellis' business' meanwhile' is working to meet the needs of a growing number of families.
"Lee's Summit is so much of a family-oriented community' and a lot of that is because of the quality of the schools'" Ellis says. "We really feel like we are addressing a need in the community for a family-oriented entertainment venue."
Certainly there's more to quality of life than pretty housing developments and shady parks. In Lee's Summit' a solid foundation has grown up behind the lovely facade.
The city is an affluent community where the median income is $60'905' and the population earns one of the highest average incomes in the state. Major industries in Lee's Summit include government service' technology and telecommunications.
Job numbers have grown' as well. According to the Lee's Summit Economic Development Council' the city has attracted more than 33 new companies in the past five years' creating upward of 4'000 jobs.
Home ownership is an important community value' with 75.6 percent of residents owning their own homes.
Stephen Arbo' assistant city administrator' says there is still room for growth in Lee's Summit.
"Our community is 64 square miles in geographic area' which is a fairly good size' and I would say about 50 percent is still open for growth."
Lee's Summit has attracted the amenities of a quality urban area as it has expanded' with more sophisticated shopping and entertainment.
"It's a great place to live and work'" Ellis says. "It's a great community to be a part of."

UPDATE: Marquis Daniels suffered a bruised spinal cord. He was not concussed and had movement of his arms and legs, but will be out at least a month. CAT and MRI scans will be performed.
In the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game against the Magic, Marquis Daniels left the game after falling to the ground while making a move on Gilbert Arenas. Daniels hurt his neck, and was sent to New England Baptist Hospital.
It wasn't the only rough moment for Boston. Earlier, Glen Davis landed awkwardly on his head after taking a charge, and held it on the floor for several minutes. Davis was treated in the locker room, but fortunately returned to the bench.
Even Dwight Howard took a shot to the face when Semih Erden missed a block attempt. Both Daniels and Davis were concussed in last season's Game 5 against the Magic, and if Celtics keep dropping like flies, it'll be a rough rest of the season. Keep checking the news feeds for updates on Daniels' condition and other updates.

Another thing , if by any chance there were some rivets or self tapping screws holding the sections together - drill the hole out larger with a VERY sharp drill and as little pressure as possible.

CHICAGO, IL -- A suspect in the Jan. 5 shooting deaths of an elderly couple in their Kentwood home could learn today whether he will be extradited from Chicago to the Grand Rapids area.
Javonte Higgins, 24, is expected in a suburban Chicago court today for an extradition hearing.
He is a suspect in the shooting deaths of David and Vivian Bouwman, ages 81 and 80, in their Stowvalley Drive SE home.
Related: Obstructing charge dismissed against Javonte Higgins in anticipation of extradition
Police say they were victims of a home invasion.
Higgins was arrested Jan. 18 in Blue Island, a Chicago suburb, after an informant led police to his location. He was taken into custody during a traffic stop.
While Higgins is a suspect in the homicides, today's hearing involves warrants out of Wyoming for home invasion and auto theft.

Rapper-turned-actor Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, are not separating after 13 years of marriage. They're still happily married, and they released a statement Tuesday to end reports saying otherwise.
"Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false," the couple said. "We are still together, and our marriage is intact."
"Did #WillandJada split? No they did NOT split! False information ... its not true RETWEET!!!" Will's son Trey tweeted. "Everyone can think what they want ... even if its not true."
Rumors spread after In Touch Weekly reported the couple was splitting up. An anonymous "insider" is credited as the source for the short teaser, encouraging readers to read more about it in this week's issue of the magazine.
TMZ said they had called Jada's rep, Karynne Tencer, who more or less denied the rumor. "What? In Touch said that? I know nothing about this," she said. "Lord. I'm going back to bed."
The Washington Post also warned fans to avoid jumping to conclusions. "This is what happens in the lickety-split realm of entertainment blogging, where a juicy rumor can start to sound like fact with the mere posting of a tweet," Celebritology blogger Jen Chaney wrote.
Rumors of the couple having an open relationship have persisted, but no affairs have ever been reported. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the former "Fresh Prince" explained a couple of years ago that they openly admit being attracted to other people, and would ask permission of the other first before having sex with someone else.
Also, in 2008, Will told Ellen DeGeneres that divorce "just can't be an option." The "Men In Black" star added, "It's merely that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. There are so many options. So a huge part of the success for Jada and I is that we just removed the other options."
Will and Jada have been married for 13 years and have two children together who are on their way to being just as famous as mom and dad. Jaden, 13, starred in "The Karate Kid" and Willow, 10, had a pop hit with "Whip My Hair."
Will's other son, Trey, is from a previous marriage.

For those yet to see Mott Community College standout Doug Anderson, the displays of athleticism he's put on for the Bears this season are pretty indescribable -- destroying backboards, getting multiple in-game dunks and getting ridiculously high while blocking shots are just a few of his exploits.
Simply put, there are few guys at any level of basketball who can match his shear athletic gifts. The closest comparison I can make to him athletically is a young Jason Richardson.
Now, before you get all indignant and say, "how dare you compare a community college player to a very good college and NBA player?," realize I'm not saying Anderson and Richardson are exactly alike or necessarily at the same level as basketball players at this age. This is simply a comparison of athletic tools.
But, if you've seen Anderson play, try and think back to J-Rich at Michigan State. First, compare the measurables:
- Anderson: 6-foot-6 215 pounds
- Richardson (as a freshman): 6-foot-5 220 pounds
As soon as Richardson stepped foot on campus at East Lansing, he didn't look like a college freshman -- he was coordinated, already had a NBA build and extremely graceful for his height. Anderson has that same body type -- tall, filled out for his age and definitely doesn't look like the typical college freshman.
There are also comparisons to be made about how each guy plays -- namely, their jaw-dropping dunks and athletic plays overshadow other parts of their overall games.
At Mott, Anderson is leading the team in scoring and has shown that he can score the ball in different ways -- his jumper is reliable, and he even has range out to the three-point line, shooting about 50 percent out there.
Richardson, too, got a lot of attention at MSU for dunking on people. But check his stats in college -- his three-point shot improved immensely from his freshman to his sophomore season (he shot 40 percent as a sophomore), as did his rebounding and passing.
Now, obviously, Richardson did those things well enough at a high Division I level as a college sophomore to become a NBA lottery pick. Anderson still has more to prove -- namely, that he can adapt to becoming a force on the perimeter after playing primarily around the basket during his high school days.
His improvement, particularly shooting the ball, has been noticeable this season for Mott, and combined with his stands-filling athletic ability, he's sure to garner the attention of major college programs, which is his stated goal.
Most any aspiring NBA player would happily emulate Richardson's career, but few have the athletic gifts J-Rich showed at a young age. Anderson is one of those few, and if he combines that with the work ethic Richardson showed to improve throughout his college and NBA career, Anderson's capable of reaching those heights.

Former Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour joined Bill Simonson on "The Huge Show" to talk about Pro Day on Wednesday in Mount Pleasant and where he thinks he'll land in the upcoming NFL draft.
"It's such a crapshoot at this point. People lead you on like they're interested and they're not or they might not even talk to you and they end up drafting you, so it's kind of hard for me to tell (where I'll be drafted)," LeFevour said. "It's been a lot of fun, the (NFL scouting) combine, the Senior Bowl. Being able to go through all that is a pretty unique experience."

A Seawolf Arrives, A Unique Circumstance, Baseball's Fastest Man
Outfielder Donavan Tate was promoted to Lake Elsinore on Thursday, leaving the TinCaps with an empty roster spot. I pondered yesterday on the blog as to who might fill the spot, and then an answer came: Travis Jankowski.
The 44th overall pick in this June's draft, the outfielder from Stony Brook University became the 22nd first or supplemental first-round pick to be sent to Fort Wayne since the Padres began their affiliation with the franchise in 1999.
After getting a 6AM flight from Arizona, Jankowski arrived at Dow Diamond shortly after 5:00 PM, and then promptly hit the field for batting practice wearing his #17 jersey. He hit leadoff for the TinCaps, meaning that for the first time all year, Jace Peterson hit somewhere other than in the number one spot. Fittingly, Peterson was as close as he could be and ended up hitting second.
An eager Jankowski, 21, swung at the first pitch he saw in a Fort Wayne uniform and blooped it into left field for a base hit. Unfortunately for the TinCaps, they'd only record three more hits for the rest of the game, with two of them coming in the ninth inning.
Jankowski is not the likeliest of candidates to have been drafted as a supplemental first round pick. He thought he'd end up playing college football, after only one school, Stony Brook University in New York, offered him a scholarship.
"I didn't know where Stony Brook was or what a Seawolf was," Jankowski told the New York Daily News.
But as baseball goes, if you can play, they will find you. This past summer, Jankowski won the MVP award in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League, the nation's top wood bat circuit for college players. He hit an astounding .329 there, where if players hit .229, it's not a bad season. Most folks say that with the transition to a wood bat, losing 100 points off of your average is expected. This season on a run to the College World Series, he hit .412 and Stony Brook led the country with 52 wins.
Now he's hitting leadoff for the TinCaps and he got the start in center field on Friday night, going 1-4 at the plate.
In today's TinCaps Report Podcast, you can hear my conversation with Travis Jankowski:
Friday presented a situation which I'd never encountered: the power at the radio station that carries our games, 1380 ESPN, was out. A big storm swept through Fort Wayne on Friday afternoon, and according to some estimates left 80,000 people without power.
Because of this extreme circumstance, I was invited to join the radio broadcast of Brad Golder and Jared Sandler, the two radio guys for the Great Lakes Loons. Brad and Jared are two of my favorite guys in the league, and we had a great time getting to discuss one another's teams. I give great thanks to them, and to ESPN 100.9 General Manager Jerry O'Donnell for having me on the air.
As it turns out, I was doing play-by-play for the fourth inning when the second Loons run scored. The Loons put up a 'big play' of the game on their video board at the end of the game, and it happened to be my call. I'm not sure if that makes me good luck or back luck. It's a matter of perspective, I suppose.
With that, I hope to be back on 1380 ESPN tonight for our normal broadcast. Keep an eye on the TinCaps' Twitter and Facebook pages, as if there is any update to the broadcast, I'll post the information there. Thanks for your patience.
If you haven't heard of Billy Hamilton, it's not too late to learn about baseball's fastest man. We've talked about him some on the blog this year, but I wanted to bring to your attention just how crazy a season this Reds' farmhand is having. He played in Dayton last year and stole 103 bases in 135 games. This year, one level higher with Bakersfield of the California League, he's already stolen 96 bases in 75 games. At the All-Star break he had stolen 80, putting him on pace for a record-shattering 160, which would demolish the record set in 1984. Vince Coleman, playing in 1984 for the Macon Redbirds of the South Atlantic League, stole 145 bases.
Watching Billy last year, you'd think "There's no way anyone could break Coleman's record." Now you think, "How could he not break the record?"
The most stolen bases any TinCaps player has had in a game this year is two. Two weeks ago, Hamilton stole five bases in a single game.
Here's part of a feature piece on Hamilton from The Greenville News:
"If I can pull the pitcher's attention or even the infielders' attention away from the hitter, I think it helps making it easier on my guy at the plate. I know what I am capable of. People come to see me steal bases, and that's what I do. My goal every game is to steal bases and score runs."
Hamilton doesn't know what the Reds have planned for his future. The major league team already has a rookie shortstop in former Ole Miss standout Zach Cozart and veteran Brandon Phillips at second base.
A switch to the outfield or second base for Hamilton, who is rated as the Reds' top minor league prospect, could hasten his move up the ladder.
For now, Hamilton is sticking with shortstop and his next step could be to Class AA Pensacola, Fla.
The Rolling Stones…take it away!

Series Finale, Billionaire For a Day, The Bystander Effect
The TinCaps will try for the series split today after losing the last two at the hands of the Great Lakes Loons. It's not that Fort Wayne has lacked the opportunities to win, they just haven't been able to capitalize. Here's a nugget from today's game notes:
Over the last two games as the TinCaps have lost by a combined two runs, they've left many potential runs on base. In Friday's 5-4, loss, the team went 3-12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10. On Saturday, Fort Wayne went 2-10 with RISP and left seven men on base. Friday's loss also saw four runners caught stealing, and two getting picked off.
Cody Hebner gets the call for Fort Wayne this afternoon, and it looks like it won't be quite as sunny and warm as it had been over the last two days at Dow Diamond. There are grey skies overhead and it rained overnight here in Midland, MI. I'll chat with Jose Valentin before today's game to get his thoughts on the first ten games of the season.
Yesterday I chatted with Kyle Gaedele, a native of Illinois and a former Valparaiso Crusader. We talked about this team's propensity for base stealing, his spring, and why he's always felt like an under the radar guy:

SpaceX has announced two contracts with the U.S. Air Force. Here, NASA Astronaut Rex Walheim stands inside the Dragon crew engineering model at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California. SpaceX
Military contracts? Now we're talking, SpaceX. The company announced two big U.S. Air Force launch contracts, putting Elon Musk's startup on a collision course with the big boys in aerospace and into the orbit of the climate change controversy.
The two demonstrations that SpaceX will be doing, announced Wednesday, will help qualify the operation to compete against United Launch Alliance, which handles all the largest Air Force launches. ULA was formed six years ago, but it is a 50-50 joint venture formed between two longtime players: Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and the Boeing Company (NYSE: BA).
To add to the drama of the two demos is a bit of political intrigue. The orders are for two Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Missions: one will be in 2014 with a mission to launch NASA's Deep Space Climate Observator satellite on a Falcon 9 rocket, which was used in SpaceX's recent successful mission to the International Space Station. The other mission slated for mid 2015 will launch the Space Test Program 2 mission on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Rocket, which has yet to be built but which will be the biggest rocket built privately.
The first mission is where some politics comes in. The Observator satellite is designed to monitor Earth from the vantage point of distant space to give scientists a holistic, global view of temperatures and environmental conditions. It became associated with former Vice President Al Gore, who supported putting a TV camera on the spacecraft to broadcast live views from Earth.
Climate change skeptics dubbed it as "Gore-Sat" and the Bush administration cancelled its scheduled launch from Shuttle Columbia in 2003 and it's been in deep storage ever since.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

You will get a list, then click on each call sign to get details of TX and antenna system. This site is the mother lode for broadcast info in the US. In general, FM and TV TX antennas are multi-element vertical arrays have gain in the vertical plane. This tends to focus energy at the horizon, and spill a bit less down to the ground than would an omni antenna. Info on non-broadcast TX may be harder to find. 73, Jim Brown K9YC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

- Preparation reduces winter headaches for livestock producers
- Providing proper bedding
- With La Niña's arrival, the forecast is for another winter colder and wetter than normal, and livestock producers need to prepare.
With La Niña's arrival, the forecast is for another winter colder and wetter than normal, something a Purdue Extension beef specialist says livestock producers need to prepare for.
Taking simple steps to prepare equipment, facilities and feed supplies can help reduce headaches for cattle producers, Ron Lemenager said.
"When the blizzard hits or the wind chills are below zero, tempers might flare, but that won't thaw water or get the tractor started to feed cows," he said. "A little planning when the weather is mild could make things go a lot easier for both producers and the livestock."
Part of that means taking the time to do simple things, such as winterizing water sources by insulating them and making sure heating elements are in working order.
Lemenager also recommended checking tractor batteries to make sure they can handle cold weather and making sure diesel tractors needed to move feed or snow are plugged in and ready to go. Sagging fences can be adjusted so they don't freeze to the ground, hindering access to feed animals.
Producers also can fill in ruts with gravel so tractors don't have a tough time getting snow plowed or hay bales moved to where animals can access them.
"It's been my experience that when I'm not prepared, things go downhill in a hurry," he said. "In the case of this winter, the forecast is for a colder, snowier winter than what we're used to having."
Aside from equipment implications, the colder weather could mean stress or health problems for exposed cattle. Producers need to be sure the animals have wind protection to reduce cold stress in housing and feeding areas.
Cattle experiencing cold stress will have increased energy requirements. Lemenager said that for every 10-degree drop in wind chill factor below 30 degrees, energy requirements increase by 13 percent for moderately conditioned cows with a dry winter hair coat and 30 percent for thin cows or cows with a wet or summer hair coat.
"When the temperatures drop, the wind chills increase and we've got snow, the first thing I think about is that the energy requirements of the cows increase," he said. "That means we need to either feed higher quality feeds or supplemental feeds to offset that cold stress."
Some of those supplements could be distiller's grains, corn gluten feed, soybean hulls or corn.
Lemenager said it might also be helpful for producers to move some hay bales to more readily accessible locations for emergency use, as opposed to leaving them all out in the fields. This will prevent the need to plow a large amount of snow to feed cattle.

Today's blackout of popular websites such as Wikipedia and Reddit
powerfully illustrate the threat anti-piracy bills pose to an open Internet
Wikipedia has a terrific new entry today on Internet censorship. Look it up: The blank screen will tell you everything you need to know about the dangers inherent in Congress' rush to respond to the rampant copying and sharing of movies and music on the Internet.
Wikipedia, the world's sixth most visited site, and a host of other well-trafficked sites such as Reddit, Boing Boing and Mozilla went dark today to protest two anti-piracy bills before Congress, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). The two bills strongly backed by the entertainment industry were hurtling through Congress until Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., among a small handful of tech-savvy lawmakers, raised alarms.
It's frightening how close the bills have come to passage -- Wyden has been preparing to filibuster PIPA when Congress gets back to work next week -- with so little understanding about their unintended effects.
Tech experts have warned for months that requiring Internet service providers and advertising networks to cut off access to foreign sites accused of piracy could damage the Internet's basic architecture. Yet it wasn't until late Friday that the Obama administration announced that it opposed sections of the bills, in part because they "pose a real risk to cybersecurity."
It's now clear that members of Congress have been grappling clumsily with technologies they do not well understand. That's why today's blackout, which will generate enormous public attention to the issue, is important even though the bills now seem stalled in Congress.
The piracy issue isn't going away. Online piracy by foreign websites costs the movie and music industry billions of dollars a year. All the illegal sharing and copying -- all the stealing -- also costs U.S. jobs, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and major labor unions are among the prominent supporters of SOPA and PIPA.
But there are ways to protect content without censoring free expression or damaging the Internet, and without exposing U.S. Internet and technology companies to legal jeopardy or hugely expensive monitoring obligations. Wyden, Sen. Marie Cantwell, D-Wash., and other lawmakers have offered an alternative bill that looks like a smarter and better-targeted approach.
The so-called OPEN Actl would require the U.S. International Trade Commission to investigate the activities of foreign websites accused of piracy and rule whether a site is an unfair or illegal import. If the ITC ruled against the site, American payment processors and advertisers would be prohibited from doing business with it.
Critics claim the ITC doesn't have the resources to take on Internet piracy, and some lawmakers are reluctant to bolster the commission's budget. But why should the costs be foisted instead on law-abiding American Internet companies powering one of the few growth areas of the U.S. economy?
Congressional leaders ought to turn to Wyden's compromise bill, even if they get hammered for it by powerful leaders of the motion picture and music industries. Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corp., answered Obama's concerns by tweeting that the president is taking marching orders from "Silicon Valley paymasters." Murdoch has something in common with Wikipedia today.
He's in the dark, too.

Around The Web
What's with the shark floating out in the water behind Kate's boat? He shows up again while they're on the dock.
That just shows that Kate has the support of the local shark community as well. Even vicious man-eaters like a girl with good fashion sense and pretty hair.
From what I read online, it's a shark costume of sorts. There are people underneath and they followed the awesome tribal boat carrying Wills and Kate.
That's definitely a dolphin.
I thought it was a shark and thought "SHAAARK!" and then I came back to reality and thought "they would never put her on a boat where a shark is so obviously camera whoring."
It's a tradition, the shark brings good luck.
Also, its fake.
oh my god. The shark is hilarious. I didn't even notice it, then read your comment and went back and looked and cracked up. I love it, even if it is fake!
I was looking at it and thought no way did someone just photo bomb the royal couple in a shark outfit.
I like her hair BETTER like that than all curled and smoothed. Not that she could do that every day, but in a setting like this–which I think we would charitably describe as "rustic" (except for that awesome beach and so on)–it looks right, where the tight curls would look too stiff and "done." Yay for Kate. She wins again.
Blast Catherine in all of her all-natural bed head glory.
That explains why her hair looks awesome straightened at the roots and curled at the ends. It makes me feel a little better that I've never been able to pull of Kate hair-styling with my board-straight strands.
It's a fake shark. Some of the villagers swim around under them, accompanying the guests. See photo 4 also.
Is it bad that I kept expecting them to offer Kate and Wills an orange soda, a la "Joe Versus the Volcano"?
That child is freaking adorable!
Kate (and Wills) look good– I love Kate looking natural and not all done up in a few of these pictures. Sadly for us mere mortals/non-princesses, she still looks freaking great. Le sigh!
Y'know the way that child looks? That's how I feel when I get back to GoFugYourself again.
What I love about this is that the traditional necklace she was given at the greeting works perfectly with her outfit. That is planning.
Hey look she has a cowlick in front just like mine! Wonder how ofter it drives her crazy like mine does?
Cowlick in the front here, too. It's a nightmare! #firstworldproblems
I have that cowlick too. It's like we're the same person!!!
Oh my god, that damn cowlick. It makes my bangs do unspeakable things. Unspeakable.
Amen to that- I've cut the bangs short, grown them out, had them somewhere in the middle. Somedays nothing works, except a headband.
When I was junior high, I wished for a cowlick like that. Anything to add a bit of volume around my face at the top of my head.
My cowlick is why I had to grow out my bangs. Couldn't deal with it anymore!
She really has the best hair ever.
she is really just a natural beauty… good for her.
also, this is honestly the GREATEST photo ever. look at wills' dance moves. he's putting the hips into it.
Spirit fingers!
LOVE this! LOVE!
there is a video of it… watch the last minute-ish. hysterical. i love that they're both such great sports.
Wow, Kate can really move! He, well… um, I love that he's going for it!
What a nice young couple. They are doing their home nation all kinds of good, I am sure!
LOVE that video! Kate is so lovely and looks like she's trying to follow along and, well, like someone said, Wills is trying Someone made a comment here the other day with regards to the photo scandal about how hard it must be to remove all spontaneity from your life just so no one can take a potentially embarrassing photo, which would definitely be a buzzkill. In light of that, I'm especially glad they danced, and they look like they might be having a little bit of fun too. I'm sure if I was one of the people they were visiting, I would remember their visit all the more because they seemed to enjoy themselves and participated, and didn't just sit and wave and smile politely.
Dying laughing at that video. It is SO GOOD. Thanks for that. They are seriously the best sports.
Is it really weird that that video kind of made my eyes leak?? Must be the hormones. I love seeing genuinely happy people.
Wills knows how to shake his tailfeather!
And Kate's hair is officially perfect.
I love the photo of them dancing. Will just looks like a good time. He is one of those men who can be serious and adult, but also just let go and have fun and that is sexy. How can she look so good in the middle of the jungle with the heat and humidity? I only have one tiny comment…I think she should wear her hair up more often, I don't know how she is dealing with it down her back and neck in the kind of weather they have been in.
Imagine how Will feels – he's been in a suit nearly half the time. Eeeek!
I was thinking the same thing- how does Will cope with the suit in all that heat!
The ochre kid really knows how to accessorize!
I love Kate's hair au natural! Damn her! And I too love a good shirt dress, double damn her for being able to wear yellow.
Well played again! Her natural hair is fantastic. As are those dresses. siggghhhh
And she is liberated from pantyhose! Huzzah!
Her hair in #3 does look amazing…I've always suspected that's what it would look like if it was less "done." Also, hooray for shirtdresses!
Is the yellow shirtdress the same yellow dress Kate wore during her Canadian tour? It had a very similar look, at least. (I loved it then, I love this one/same one now!)
Having travelled into climates like that with that ridiculous amount of humidity, I want to know her secret. I stepped out of the hotel and needed a shower 4 seconds later. Do you think she installs tiny fans into her clothing? Or has tiny fan handlers, unseen to the naked eye?
it's not the same dress, but it was actually suggested as a "copy Kate's look" dress from the Canadian tour, ironically enough!
I just hope to all that is holy that shark comes after any paparazzi who try to take any pics of them at that gorgeous private lodge/beach.
And Kate does have the most beautiful, bountiful hair on the planet.
*sigh sigh sigh* Kate is awesome. And the kind of awesome that other women naturally respond to in a nice way, not in a way that you'd want to push her off the boat. Hair = Love. Shirtdresses = Love. Yellow Shirtdresses = Love ++.
I know. I just love her. And her hair.
Beautiful hair, beautiful clothes, blah blah blah. I'm probably the only person who reads this site regularly that has Kate Middleton fatigue.
If it helps, I sometimes tire of how much I get fan-girl-crush-squee over Catherine and William. I think I must eventually lose this level of excitement. But it hasn't happened. Yet.
I finally understand my grandmother's feelings about Diana.
Libby: "I finally understand my grandmother's feelings about Diana."
So much this. I can't help it. I squee every time.
No, you're not the only person. I commented something similar during the Olympics. I just like the community of commenters so much that I continue to participate in the Kate threads sometimes, even though I share your fatigue. Actually, to be more accurate, I was never into Kate Middleton or the Royals to begin with, so it's not really fatigue so much as a sustained "whatever." But I still have thoughts about her outfits/hair sometimes.
The lady beside Kate in the yellow-dress picture is stunning. Also the little kid really turned it out for the visit. Hats off to non-Western fashion, too!
That child is adorable & has great fashion sense! Thanks for posting the pic.
Really?? REALLY?
I don't look nearly half that fresh after doing myself up in an air conditioned house!!!
But also I love them together.
Happy people make me happy.
is the black dress a shirtdress? I really don't see the "shirt" part (no obvious buttons or collar) that is evident in the yellow one.
The video of Wills dancing…. I betcha that's what a normal weekend looks like for Matthew McConaughey.
My crush on them and their happy ways continues. The Queen must be so thrilled that these two crazy kids can take a jolt and keep going. Shirtwaists forever!
I'm a cow's lick girl too!
Kate looks so much younger without all the makeup troweled on and the reporter hair. Lose the black eyeliner for good, girl…you look so fresh and pretty.
It is really quite good to read your content regularly, my good friend. And definitely will target your web blog day-to-day along with call your blog page to read any freshest posts, while you replace. Cultivate! We imagine you have a good day of the week.
Okay, I know I'm late to the party here, but has anybody else noticed the UFO in the picture of their lodge?

Dan is a true motivator and teacher. I am in the best shape of my life thanks to Elite Martial Arts (EMA) and the training they offer. EMA is also fortunate to have great students; everyone is respectful and dedicated to their training. The additional seminars offered, in addition to a well thought-out training schedule make for a well rounded and challenging curriculum. I am very proud to be a part to EMA and look forward to progressing. I highly recommend EMA – it's a great workout and you will learn amazing self-defense skills.
The lessons are well structured and you get a very good workout in each class in addition to learning Krav techniques. With your membership, you can attend as many classes as you want, which makes it easy for the students to tailor their training needs for their individual schedules. If I have a very busy week, I might only show up to class once that week. But if my schedule is fairly open next week, I might attend class two or three times that week.
I would highly recommend EMA - you will learn Krav and get a great workout in a fun and challenging environment.
Just a few cents from an old fart who washed a few dojo floors in his day. :-)
The co-ed nature of the classes are great too: ladies, you'll be able to show yourself this is a martial art that helps equalize a size discrepancy and feel really confidant about the things you're learning.
Thank you for posting about the demise of O-Sensei Mas Tsurouka.
My condolences to his family.
I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Canadian Black Belt Hame of Fame.

You not only progress in your exercise level but you have a good understanding with the technique, and culture of the sport. Personally from my experience it really beats the MMA gyms I went to before and I've learned a lot from the gym, especially with the family environment they provide. Everyone is very welcoming, and willing to also help out when you ask them.
I'll just leave the site here
If anyone's in the area it's located on 2065 Midland Ave, basically on Ellesmere and Midland, a bit North of Midland but right by the Midland RT station. Crazy schedule they got going, the pricing is also a steal and they have really good promotions for their membership prices.

text: I made some burgers the other day where I mixed some sour cream with dijon mustard and added some dill. I saved some of the mixture for a sauce and put the rest in the burgers. They were quite tasty but because the meat was so lean they didn't hold together well enough. I think I will add an egg the next time to get them to hold together better. I ate them for dinner with mashed rutabaga and am having the leftovers today.
