It’s now been three months since the state initiative that Rev. Jay Dennis, R-First Baptist Church at the Mall, helped publicly launch stripped gay people of rights they didn’t have. He has yet to publicly call for laws to restrict heterosexual divorce, which leads me to conclude that he cares much more about stigmatizing gays than protecting marriage.
Here’s the group’s spiel:
“Strong Marriages Florida” is a three year campaign to create a marriage movement in Florida, with the goal of strengthen marriages and reducing the divorce rate in Florida. The campaign was launched in response to the high number of divorces in Florida and the negative economic impact that the fragmentation of families has on Florida taxpayers and our communities.
The campaign has 5 basic goals:
1) Increase the number of couples receiving pre-marital preparation
2) Strengthen existing marriages and restore crisis marriages
3) Reduce the divorce rate in Florida by 10% by the year 2012.
4) Save taxpayers the costs of family fragmentation by approximately $100 million dollars annually.
5) Creating community awareness and a positive culture of marriage which celebrates and respects the institution of marriage for the benefit of children, families and the common good of society.
“Strong Marriages Florida” has both and a church/community component and a public policy component. The community component will include helping to form Community Marriage Initiatives in 12 major metro regions of the state and encouraging pastors to commit to requiring marriage preparation for all couples prior to performing a wedding.
In terms of policy, we will be studying and sharing current research about the status of marriage and divorce in Florida and the impact that the fragmentation of the family has on our society. The campaign will explore various public policy options like helping couples become better prepared before they get married and reforming the divorce laws that apply to families with minor children.
Of course, the last clause of the last sentence is where the rubber meets the road. And what laws does the group hint at reforming? The web site quotes a book attacking no-fault divorce and suggesting that the state should require “mutual consent” for a divorce to occur:
“The current law, called No Fault Divorce, or divorce on grounds of “irreconcilable differences,” in reality is Unilateral Divorce in which one spouse can force divorce on an unwilling partner. That is what happens in 80 percent of cases, according to Frank Furstenberg and Andrew Cherlin, authors of Divided Families. They argue that it is unfair to the spouse who does not want the divorce, who believes that the marriage is reconcilable. Although No Fault is less harmful to couples without children, 70% of divorces do involve a child.”
“If a couple has children, their obligation to them should take precedence over a personal desire by one parent to abandon the marriage. Therefore, only if both parents agree to divorce, should a marriage be terminated.”
Hmmm. Let’s slap that on the ballot, shall we? Abused wife? Need your husband’s permission to divorce him. Won’t get a job? Stuck with him. Serial cheater? Sorry. Or at least you’ll have to prove those things in court, with an expensive lawyer and legal fees most people can’t afford and with custody of your children at stake. I will say this: if this group does actually put that measure on the ballot in the future, I will have a little more respect for their motivations.
I’ll just start asking the legislators who have endorsed this project, like say, Seth McKeel and Dennis Ross, if they support that change in law. I doubt they’ve looked very closely at this. I’ll ask Charlie Crist, who has also endorsed this initiative, if no-fault marriage didn’t exist if he wouldn’t still be married to his first wife and Carole Rome wouldn’t still be a single socialite. Think of the party the Tallahassee press corps would have missed.
However, I do not think I’ll have to ask those questions. Rather, I think this entire effort is simply a splashy, but meaningless, answer to people like me who think leaders of the anti-gay lobby in Florida are frauds and charlatans.
It’s designed to allow people like James A. Smith Sr., executive editor of Florida Baptist Witness, to write things like this:
During the long battle over Amendment 2, opponents (and secular media) would frequently suggest or blatantly claim that pro-family leaders should be more concerned about divorce than “gay marriage” and that if they were troubled about divorce they would be doing something about it before “gay marriage,” which was deemed of little consequence to the society.
Of course, the claim falsely assumes that pro-family leaders are only capable of working on one thing at a time—and that supporting a proper definition of marriage in the constitution is mutually exclusive of expressing concern about and taking action against divorce.
In fact, both issues are closely related, which is why it’s only natural that having won the battle to protect the definition of marriage in our constitution that we should also give high profile attention to strengthening marriages and reducing the rate of divorce in our state.
Presumably religious leaders already talk often to their flocks about the importance of the family and marriage. I’m not clear to me that starting a web site to talk about it more publicly is terribly bold. These supposed leaders were willing to coerce gays, to use the force of the state against them. Are they not willing to use that force against a much stronger group?
Put your money where your mouth is, Mr. Smith, and the rest of you. Drop the end of no fault heterosexual divorce on the ballot. Campaign for it. I’ll be waiting.

Operations at Key West International Airport in Florida came to a halt briefly on Saturday morning when two Cuban migrants crash-landed a motorized ultralight aircraft on the runway. Miami Sector Border Patrol agents responded and took the two Cuban nationals into custody.
Marion County Sheriff’s Office officials tweeted photos showing the scene at the Key West airport showing the ultralight on the active runway after the illegal landing at a controlled airport.

Two Cuban migrants were taken into U.S. Border Patrol custody after landing at the Key West International Airport onboard a powered hang glider. No reported injuries. We appreciate the support from @mcsonews.#Breaking #Saturday #KeyWest #Cuba pic.twitter.com/KqqFlYqie1
— Chief Patrol Agent Walter N. Slosar (@USBPChiefMIP) March 25, 2023
Responding Border Patrol agents took the two Cuban migrants into custody.
Seaplane pilot Nick Pontecorvo got an unexpected closeup view of the ultralight as he returned from a trip over the local reefs, Keys News reported.
“I see this thing coming at me, and it looks weird,” said Pontecorvo, told the local news outlet. “I see it’s an ultralight, and it zips passed my wing.”
The encounter highlights the dangers of an unexpected aircraft attempting to land at a controlled airfield.
While the Miami Sector is experiencing an enormous surge of Cuban migrants this year, most arrive on makeshift boats landing on the keys and other Florida beaches.
During the first five months of Fiscal Year 23, Miami Sector agents apprehended 4,398 Cuban migrants. This is more than the three previous fiscal years combined, according to the February CBP Nationwide Encounters Report. Of those, 3,738 were single adults.
These do not include the nearly 6,000 Cuban nationals apprehended at sea by U.S. Coast Guard crews, Breitbart Texas reported.
Coast Guard officials report that since Oct. 1, 2022, Coast Guard crews interdicted 5,740 Cubans compared to:
- 6,182 Cuban Migrants in Fiscal Year 2022
- 838 Cuban Migrants in Fiscal Year 2021
- 49 Cuban Migrants in Fiscal Year 2020
- 313 Cuban Migrants in Fiscal Year 2019
- 259 Cuban Migrants in Fiscal Year 2018
- 1,468 Cuban Migrants in Fiscal Year 2017
- 5,396 Cuban Migrants in Fiscal Year 2016

Apple’s iPad seems to have some fresh new competition, as Samsung’s Tab S range gets a new entry ahead of the upcoming Galaxy phone announcements next week.
After months of rumours and speculation, next week will see the arrival of a new smartphone or three from Samsung, as the Galaxy S range hits version 10, likely alongside one of the world’s first folding phones.
The latter of these — the foldable phone — is incredibly important, because while eyes will be on the next Galaxy models, the foldable device will bring the tablet and phone together, merging them with a new degree of premium control. In this type of device, the phone and tablet will be come one, as a small tablet folds into a phone, making it capable of doing both.
But just because foldable phones should start to signal the end of the tablet, it doesn’t mean tablets are going away for good.
In fact, ahead of Samsung’s announcements on February 21 (in Australia; February 20 in America), the company has opted to announce a new tablet, as the Tab S4 sees a sequel of sorts in the Tab S5e.
It doesn’t come across as a total sequel, mind you, but rather a new generation of Samsung’s tablet range, with the Galaxy Tab S5e offering what made last year’s Tab S4 interesting, but in a slightly different design, shifting the thickness from the 7.1mm of last year’s Galaxy Tab S4 to 5.5mm of the new model.
You’ll still find a 10.5 inch 2560×1600 (WQXGA) Super AMOLED screen here, making it likely very similar to what appeared in the Tab S4. There’s also a fast eight-core processor underneath, either 64 or 128GB storage, a microSD slot for more if need be, and most of the wireless features you might come to expect, including 802.11a/b/g/n/abc WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
One thing the Tab S5e won’t have, however, is a 3.5mm headset jack, likely lost to the thickness shaving everything down so slim. The battery size has also dropped a little, 7040mAh compared to last year’s 7300mAh in the Tab S4, though Samsung suggests the battery on this tablet should hit as high as 14.5 hours.
While there have been slight changes to the tablet, there are aspects of the Galaxy Tab S5e which make it sound like the S5e isn’t so much a replacement to the Tab S4, but rather a mid-range model meant to hold the line until a full replacement arrives.
For instance, the on-board camera is identical, offering 13 megapixels on the back and 8 megapixels on the front, with 4K Ultra HD recording from both.
There are four speakers on this model, and there’s also a fingerprint sensor, too, with no face scanner. Given that face and iris scanning is usually the more premium of technology, to see it missing on this model suggests the Tab S5e isn’t the high-end model, at least from our point of view.
Samsung has also not listed the S Pen as an accessory, though it has included the the Pogo port on the side of the tablet, meaning it should support a keyboard case. We’ve checked with Samsung to find out whether the Tab S4’s accessories will be supported, but at the time of publishing, it hadn’t come back with a response.
Overall, what the Tab S5e does seem like is stop-gap for Samsung’s tablet range, possibly because the next proper high-end tablet from Samsung could either be a model that inherits features from the Galaxy S10, or because Samsung’s tablets will become the foldable phones.
Despite this, Samsung is calling it a “top-tier tablet”, with its president literally stating that.
“The Tab S5e is a top-tier tablet with a sleek design and powerful features, available at a new price point,” said Samsung’s DJ Koh.
“For users who want intelligence that keeps them connected so they can get more done — as well as a big, beautiful screen for a rich, premium entertainment experience — the Tab S5e delivers.”
We’ll have to wait and find out for ourselves, though Australians will get to see it, with Samsung Australia confirming that the Galaxy Tab S5e will see local availability. As to when that is and how much, your guess is as good as ours, but we’d suggest it will come after the next phone does, making it some time in April to June.

My name is Blaine Ephrem. Last year, I had written about the Saugus High School shooting, which took the precious lives of Gracie Ann Muhlberger and Dominic Blackwell on Nov. 14. We will all remember that day and remember what we all lost that day, too.
One of the reasons I’m writing here again is to say that I am so grateful for the unbelievable amount of support I’ve received since that day. The way this community gathered together to bring comfort to the students and staff at Saugus is truly inspiring. I wanted to thank the people who supported me and read my essay. I’m so grateful for the people in my life who helped me through this tough time.
Thursday, May 14, marked six months since those beautiful lives were taken so suddenly. Six months ago we lost our innocence. Six months ago many tears were shed. Six months ago was just a normal Thursday morning that changed in an instant. Six months ago our lives; forever impacted.
Today I want to talk about the healing process, how it feels to be going back to school, and what has been happening the last six months regarding the change we wish to seek.
To be completely honest, this healing process is tough. Losing a classmate is not easy, losing a close friend is even harder. I was close to Dominic Blackwell. He was one of my best friends. He was like a brother to me. I met him in 7th grade and we had been friends ever since. I miss him so much. The pain of losing him still lingers here. There isn’t a day where I don’t think about him. What hurts the most, though, is that there wasn’t a reason why he died. He didn’t deserve this.
Through this whole experience I have noticed there are ups and downs of this healing process. Something my science teacher Mr. Stradling told me, that “sometimes you’ll feel fine and OK but then something happens and it’ll send you right back to square one.”
I didn’t know that this was true until it happened to me. Some days will just send me right back to the morning of Nov. 14 and everything gets dark again. Not to sound dramatic or anything, but those days hurt the most. It’s an empty, sad feeling that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy.
One message that I want to get across to anyone dealing with pain of any kind, is that no matter what everyone says: “give it time” or “time will heal this,” you have to know that healing has no time limit, because no one can tell you when you should be healed. Healing occurs at its own pace. It’s going to hurt but you have to keep pushing. Because at the end, one day, you are going to be OK again.
Going back to school has to be the hardest thing I have ever done. We [my friends] used to hang out at the same place the shooting happened. As soon as I got to school, I said, “I love you,” to my parents, met with my friends and shed many tears. I went to the place I was standing that day, and everything came rushing back. I tried to stay positive and act like everything was fine but dang, that was painful. All the memories with Dominic came flashing back. Definitely the most excruciating feeling ever.
I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that it has been half a year since the shooting. It’s shocking the way time flies. The support from my family and friends has kept me going for a long time and for that I am forever grateful. Although my family will never really know what happened that morning, they have brought me so much solace and comfort. And I have friends who were there that day and are going through the same thing. I am truly blessed to have all this support around me.
As I said in the essay before, we want change. Over the course of the last six months not many changes have been made. Recently, a terrible mass shooting taking the lives of 22 people took place in Nova Scotia. The prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, took immediate action and banned all military assault weapons in Canada, saying, “There is no use – and no place – for such weapons in Canada.” This is the kind of action we need from our leaders. The right to bear arms is guaranteed in the Constitution and I understand that we can’t just take all guns away from people, but it has become way too easy for people to hurt others with weapons.
The gun used in the Saugus High School shooting was called a ghost gun. Before Nov. 14, I didn’t even know that these exist. A ghost gun is any type of firearm assembled from a kit or created with a 3D printer. Anyone can purchase one and they are practically invisible to law enforcement. The Saugus High School shooting became the first shooting where the shooter used a ghost gun. Currently, the ATF, the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, has done nothing about the growing concern over people getting their hands on guns when they shouldn’t.
I believe that the ATF should be able to ban any purchases of ghost guns because it shouldn’t be an easy process to get a gun. The people buying these guns do not need background checks and can just purchase one online just like you would on Amazon.
What we went through is an all too familiar feeling across America, as we walked out of our school that Thursday morning with our hands up, just like thousands of other students around the country have before.
I remember seeing these videos online a while ago, about children hiding in classrooms, texting their parents that they were scared and it was heartbreaking. I started to care about the idea of gun control and became interested in ways to contribute to the effort.
When I was there that morning, texting my mom “I love you,” trembling in fear, believing that it was over, just makes it so much more personal.
We shouldn’t have to worry about becoming the next victim in a school shooting. As students, we should be more focused on our studies. It shouldn’t be our priority to fight for this change but if it’s going to be, we will fight for it.
We don’t need just thoughts and prayers. We don’t want to be another statistic.
Right now, most of us can’t vote yet so we are counting on the young adults and others who are able to vote, to help make a change so we can finally have safe schools.
The future of America is dying in schools, relentlessly.
We need action.
Blaine Ephrem is a Saugus resident.

High Atlas - MH6 update. Feb 2012
Just did this route during Feb. It seems to be a strange year as it was cold, and we got snowed on while wild camping, but the whole route was dry to drive. There were no water crossings left, we could see the new bridges / roadworks where this has obviously been improved over the last few years.
On the detour to see the lake Ifni, (km 53 /72), We only made it up about 2km or so, as there was a road work crew putting in a new bridge, and they advised we dont go any further due to the height of our truck. We hiked about another km, but it's flipping steep and we turned back as were about 9 or 10k from the lake itself.
We drove in to just before Sour (km 22 / 103) and rough camped on a hill. We just had one guy call to see were we ok, and if we wanted to sleep in his house. Other than that, just a few friendly waves. We started driving the next morning earlyish, before 9, and finished the route late afternoon. note this was in a Mog, and we go pretty slow to take photos.
I would judge that all the route would be driviable all year round, provided it's not snowed in. They have made a lot of it pretty wide, and a few of the tight wet turns are now cut off.
Hope this helps someone! We liked it, it's a pretty drive though quite a bit of it you are in a valley, 1/2 way up the valley wall. we did'nt get to see Mt Toubkal (at least we dont think we did!) but it was all pretty.
Photos and video to go with this over on our blog at this post

House Sitting in Manhattan
Find a loving dog sitter to watch your dog overnight in your home.
About: I have owned animals since I was born. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and birds. I have just shy of 2 years experience at a small animal vet clinic learning how to adequately help take care of animals when in need. I can give baths, walk dogs, and feed to help provide structure when needed! I am also comfortable giving medication and s working with young and senior animals! I am a student at Kansas State with a very low workload, so my schedule is fairly free! I would love to help out as many ways as I can! I love to spend time with animals of all sizes, and know how important exercise and companionship is in their day to day life. I take pride in spending as much one on one time with them as I can to make sure their normal daily routine is not interrupted while you are away.
“Randi did a great job with our pups. One of our dogs is a bit neurotic but she handles with ease. She sent updates and photos frequently. She stayed at our house, while we were gone and definitely went above and beyond. House was nice and clean when we returned. Everything was just the way we left it. Puppies are always excited to see her!”
“Ashley is amazing. Communicative, responsible, and most important incredible with dogs. We will be rebooking her as much as we can. Highly recommend for house and dog sitting.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Caroline exceeded our expectations! She was so communicative and sent so many sweet updates with and of our dog. She met our dog's high energy with walks and engaging time in the yard together. We are so grateful we were able to receive such high quality pet sitting from Caroline.”
“Victoria is awesome! She is very good at communicating and our dog loves her! She did awesome with him! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 9. I fell in love with being able to have my own pets after I was adopted. In the future I would like to start my own business as a pet groomer! I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I am a lover of all animals and also have 2 hermit crabs and a goldfish! I will be a full time student at Kansas State University this year! I only have two classes a day and plan on holding off on getting a job my first semester so I can get settled in. I will have plenty of time to play, care, and check on your pets! As of right now I am living in the dorms so I cannot offer in home sitting. But in my home all of my pets get fed twice a day. They are all outside animals and get to roam freely around our farm except for my hermit crabs and goldfish of course!
“Jaden was one of the best I’ve had on this app. His communication and care he provided was great. My dog was very well taken care of and I look forward to booking again with him.”
“Krista was AMAZING with the boys! She made them her top priority! I was at ease our entire trip and not worried at all about their wellbeing! Have already discussed our next trip!!”
“Skylar really cares and loves dogs. Always looking to make sure she gives them treats and taking them for an afternoon walk! I recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hey there my name is Krystal, thank you for visiting my profile and considering me for your Pet care needs! If you’re like me, your pets are family members. When you can’t be home for them, whether it’s for work, vacation or other obligations, you want your best friends taken care of with the same love and attention you give them. I do my absolute best to make sure each dog that visits my home has a fun, relaxing and stress free stay. I like to consider this a vacation for them and strive to make them feel like they are at their second home. I am an experienced, life-long dog owner and lover. Whether your dog is shy or bold, young or senior, large or small, I will provide loving care for your best friend. My family consists of myself, my husband, my 2 children ages 9 & 12 and my 2 dogs Polkadot (10) & Tobi (<1) My home has a dog door that leads to our fenced backyard so your dog will have plenty of room to run and play. I like to let dogs sleep wherever they are most comfortable and do not require them to be crated at night so long as they are well behaved, potty trained and do not cause a disturbance to others. Guests will have free roam of the main areas of my home during their visit and will be allowed in bedrooms with supervision. All dogs will be separated at mealtimes so that they can eat without disruption and so that dogs don't feel the need to guard resources and also to avoid the chance of anyone getting an upset stomach from eating anyone else's food. Access to fresh water is provided around the clock (Please let me know if your dog is on any type of fluid restriction or if they have a recommended cut off time so appropriate measures can be taken). For dogs that free feed they will be offered food multiple times throughout the day but I am unable to leave food out as to ensure other dogs won't be able to consume it. A quick meet & greet is almost always required prior to a new stay. Occasionally a trial daycare or overnight may be necessary to make sure your pup is a good fit for longer stays. - For the safety of my family, pets and boarding/daycare guests that may be in my care I can NOT keep any dogs that are known to be aggressive in my home, if your dog shows any aggressive behavior at drop off or during their stay that can not be controlled or corrected, services will be subject to termination and your dog will be required to be picked up or alternate care arrangements be made. In the event that a stay is terminated due to aggressive, destructive or otherwise unsafe behavior, refunds will be given at my discretion. -Bring it list- • food• leash• collar/ harness• pet bed/blanket if they have something special they prefer. *I'm so very sorry but I can no longer accept new clients with the following breeds: GSD or Pit Bulls.
“Michael has provided excellent care for my dog, Lucy, on several occasions. She is an active, high energy dog and he understands her needs for exercise, walks, and of course some cuddles to top it off. Lucy is always happy in Michael’s care.”
“Michaela checked on our pups multiple times while we were out of town which we really appreciated! She was there about 10 minutes each time, enough to feed them, or let them out and put them back up. She sent us pictures of the dogs which was really nice of her and we appreciated, and she took care of their muddy paws when it was a rainy muddy mess outside. She did a good job! My only ask would have been to stay a little longer each visit so they could run around and stretch their legs out, since one pup was in a kennel the whole time we were gone. The past rovers have either stayed at our house or, if they drop in, they stay for 30 minutes at a time. This might have been just differences in how each Rover does things. Overall great service and very pleased. Thanks again!”
“I was really worried about letting someone I didn’t know watch my German shepherd but after we got the pictures and made it home and saw how Erika took care of our dog I would tell anyone and everyone to use her. This has been the best experience. I will use her always.”
“Shalimar was amazing and took the time to give us reassurances with nice status reports.”
“Wally loves going to Crissie's. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Savannah is always responsive & reliable, which we love. We have had her stay a few times & know our dogs are well taken care of when she comes over !”
“Whitney and Maria took very good care of my 2yr old Goldendoodle twice while I was away on vacation. My dog was there each time for a week (even over Christmas). Their 4 daughters loved my dog and wanted to walk him a lot and ply with him in their fenced in back yard. He got lots of hugs and belly rubs. He got to go on the nice Nocatee trails. I would recommend them for dog sitting.”
“Bailey took excellent care of my dog and my house while I was away for a few days. Communication was great, and she sent lots of pictures. I would definitely ask Bailey to watch her again, and I'm sure Betty would never forgive me if I didn't.”
“Gabrielle did a fantastic job watching our dog and cat. She gave them tons of attention and sent us pictures to let us know how everything was going. I highly recommend her!”
“Lily watched over our home and our two fur babies for four days/three nights while we were out of town. Our Duke and Mitzee loved her, and so did we. Lily texted us "pupdates" and photos daily to assure us they were in good hands. We returned home to happy pups, a clean/organized home, and detailed notes about how everything went. In addition, she left a sweet little bouquet for us upon our arrival home. We will definitely be calling on Lily again. Highly recommended!”

Adele Beats Michael Jackson on the UK Charts
With over 4 million albums sold, Adele’s album became the fifth best-selling in the UK this week, according to the Official Charts Company, the UK equivalent to SoundScan. The songstress edges out MJ’s Thriller, selling just 500 units more.
“To add to her many landmark records, Adele’s achievement in overtaking Thriller in the all-time sales list is truly remarkable,” said Martin Talbot, the Official Charts Company’s Managing Director. “Thriller has long been recognized as one of the most iconic albums of all time – there is now no doubt that 21 can be spoken of in the same breath.”
Another fun fact mentioned by the company – one in six British households own a copy of 21.
At the end of last year, Adele outsold Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black to become the biggest selling album of the 21st Century in the UK. And in America, she’s fairing just as well. This week, the singer takes over the number two position with almost 84 thousand albums sold, according to SoundScan. The album has sold just under 9 million copies in the U.S. since it’s release in January 2011.
At this point, it’s worth asking, who doesn’t own a copy of 21?

QCRG’s own Lake Effect Furies, usually noted for being icy cool, spiced things up a bit and brought some real heat this past Saturday evening. That was the night of the team’s latest fundraiser, the “Hot & Frosty Furies Chili Cook Off.” A crowd of over 150 people gathered to celebrate Buffalo’s All-Star roller derby team and help offset travel expenses for their ambitious season ahead where they will visit places such as Maine, Washington DC, Connecticut and Virginia.
Event organizer HerHeiny Granger had previously put together a great Chili Cook Off for QCRG’s Queen’s Court and was pleased to see this one turn out even better. “It was a great success. We had improved attendance and fundraising, more chefs, new award categories, and fun new trophies for our award winners,” Granger said. “I’m looking forward to more improvements to make next year’s competition even bigger and better.”
Eighteen amateur chefs took part in the competition portion of the Chili Cook Off and they all made the voting process very difficult for everyone in attendance. There were a total of five categories that were voted on by five judges, including special guest judge, Don Paul. Each person in attendance also got to cast a ballot for their own favorite. At the end of the night the five victors were crowned:
Best Vegetarian Chili: Kristin Damstetter
Meat Lover’s: Robert McLeod
Best with Beer: Nova Cain
Runner-Up: Mama Warrior
Best Overall: Shock-Her
The Lake Effect Furies, many of whom were present to meet and greet all the fans, expressed appreciation for each and every chef who brought their unique flavor of Chili to the event. The other participants included Nora Buchman, Abercrombie and Fists, Keith Mondschein, Vile Love It, Kate Elliot, 90 Degree Johnson, Stormie Weather, Mr. Mexi, Cu~T, Jessica Eastwood, Shawn O’Malley, Dave Rogue and Rufio.

Need some incentive to vote for your next Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner? Try this guy.
Police arrested and charged Robert Leo Dwyer, a commissioner on Dupont’s Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2B, this week for allegedly attacking a homeless man early Monday morning on the 1600 block of 17th Street NW. Dwyer is accused of spraying the homeless man with a household cleaner, throwing the man’s belongings in the street, and screaming a racial slur at him. Dwyer told police, according to the Post, that he used the cleaning spray because the homeless population created a bad stench in the area. He also admitted to throwing the man’s belongings in the street, but does not think he used a racial epithet.
Dwyer has already picked up his petitions to run for re-election in November, according to the D.C. Board of Elections. Petition signatures to appear on the ballot are due Aug. 6. Dwyer didn’t immediately return call for comment to see if he is still considering a run.
Gottlieb Simon, the executive director of the city’s Office of the Advisory Neighborhood Commission, says that Dwyer is eligible to keep his seat and run for re-election so long as he’s not an incarcerated felon. Dwyer’s next hearing is scheduled for Aug. 25, the Post reports.
If Dwyer does opt to run again for his ANC seat, which represents the area east of the circle, it likely won’t be as sleepy as most ANC elections: Two other people have also picked up petitions for the seat.
Even if Dwyer isn’t convicted of any crime, his constituents may want to pay attention to the election if he decides to keep his name in the race. He did, after all, admit to scattering a homeless man’s possessions all over the place.

The Champions League remains the priority for Real Madrid supremo Florentino Perez.
Los Blancos open their latest defence against Roma on Wednesday night as they eye a fourth victory on the spin in the competition.
Julen Lopetegui has been given the enviable task of emulating Zinedine Zidane, whose record in Europe was incredible.
And if they can win he competition by beating Barcelona in the final, which will be held at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano, even better.
Lopetegui insists he is ready to embrace the pressure of Real's Champions League defence.
"It makes me feel proud, responsible and very excited about a competition which I don't need to explain what it means to us and what Real Madrid means to the Champions League," he said.
"You can only take your hat off to the players and their coach (for winning three successive Champions League trophies).
"Now I'm going in to each competition with desire, enthusiasm and confidence that we will win. It's normal that there's pressure at Real Madrid."


Coronavirus has halted plans of many an act. And it appears Christina Aguilera was one of them.
The vocal supernova has been all sorts of active in the time since she left ‘The Voice’ and reaffixed the focus on her music career.
Indeed, she’s juggled her Las Vegas residency ‘The Xperience’ with extensive touring of the world.
Now, it’s emerged that there were more plans for the latter in place – interestingly with a unique partner.
Full story below…
Replying to a fan request to tour with Xtina, Adam Lambert shared surprising news – he and the songbird were set to tour
So set in stone was the trek that dates were on the cusp of being announced:
You know what’s funny? There was a whole plan to tour w @xtina this summer around the US. Big venues too! But unfortunately everything went into Lock Down before we were ready to announce. Y’all know I’m an OG Christina Aguilera fan. ❤ waiting time see if we can reschedule it! https://t.co/nCT2phKpQE
— ADAM LAMBERT (@adamlambert) May 3, 2020
Here’s hoping this is re-mounted once things return to normal. Because, after all the years Christina arguably wasted on the judging chair, we’re keen to see her accelerate full-speed with her music career and not ever take her foot off the pedal again.

Hey, this was such a great recipe! We have a healthy rendition of "junkfood" night every Wednesday which usually consists in homemade pizza & wedges. This recipe saved me so much time! I split the batter into 2 9" cake tins & used my own topping combinations. The crust was perfect, nice & thin & crispy. I've never thought about leaving the sauce until the end either - no more soggy bases for us!! Thanks!!
was okay, but didnt taste much like pizza to me - too eggy & more lik ea pastry than a pizza base. it still got eaten though!!
Pretty good considering the dough had no yeast and didn't need to be kneaded or rolled out.
Super easy, and the crust was "magic". It seemed waaay overloaded with topping though. Could have done with 1/2 or even 1/3 lb meat, and just handful of other veggies like bell pepper or olives. I made it pretty much as written, but had a "OMG" moment when I realized I was low on flour - just barely a cup left! So instead of flouring my pan, I sprinkled it with corn-meal, like a "real" pizza place, and it worked great.
Great, quick and easy recipe! Was in the oven for around 20 minutes then I added the ingredients and it was in the oven for another 15. The pizza base wasn't as crunchy as I'd like but my partner prefers it that way. I guess the closest thing I could describe the pizza base to is a dense pancake? I also subbed 1/3c of ground flaxseed + 2/3c of flour. Yummy!
This was great and soooo easy! My 2 yr old especially loved it because the crust wasn't too crunchy. The next day we heated it up in a frying pan and the crust was a little crispy and just perfect. Thanks!
I thought that this recipe was really good! I loved not having to make a crust! I used italian sausage and my husband loved it. I will have to try different toppings next time - and there will certainly be a next time!
This was really good, and so much easier that traditional crust. If only there was a way to make it more bread like without yeast. Regardless it's good and my friends are all using it too!
This has become my favorite recipe for pizza making. Sure, it's not the way pizza is made normally but that doesn't mean it will taste bad. This is the perfect recipe when you are looking to make something fast and cheap! Thank you so much for such a wonderfully easy recipe!

Primary School Wincrange
Construction time: 2005 – 2007
Place: Wincrange, Luxembourg
Surface: 11000 m2
Developer: Municipality of Wincrange
Architect: Holweck Mergen & Associés Arch.
Landscape in motion with a view
The extension of the school centre in Wincrange required a new concept of the open spaces. The leitmotiv was a diagonal opening of the schoolyard area to the landscape horizon. The landscape sight focuses through modelling of the ground, solitary trees and groves. Other elements that underline open spaces are the lowered amphitheatre, a lively integrated artificial lawn and large landscape stairway. The landscape stairway connects the schoolyard lordly with the landscape in motion. The lively integrated artificial lawn in central area makes it possible to practise various sports and plays of motion. The amphitheatre descending stairs form a wind-protected space with many seating accommodations. It is possible to reach the paved ground in a variety of ways, over the stairs, climbing ramps and slides. Elements close to nature and stimulating the movement complete the concept.

In their letter dated Monday, the 103 signatories also expressed concern about the president’s plan to facilitate talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, citing payment by the P.A. to convicted terrorists.
“As is widely documented, the PA pays large sums of money to convicted terrorists who have murdered innocent Israelis, among them our loved ones,” read the letter.
It later continued: “In light of this, we hereby extend a request to meet with you in order to share with you our views and stories. We are the voice of the terror victims and bereaved families in Israel, and unfortunately, our number and pain are great.”
Trump is scheduled to arrive in Israel on May 22, when he will meet with President Reuven Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The following day, Trump will meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Trump’s first overseas trip as president also will include visits to Saudi Arabia and the Vatican. The agenda was set deliberately “to bring about all the different countries, all the different religions, in the fight against terrorism,” an aide said earlier this month.

NEW YORK, May 13 Johnson & Johnson today announced thatProfessor Marc Feldmann, FMedSci, FAA, FRS and Emeritus Professor Sir RavinderN. Maini, FRCP, FMedSci, FRS of the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology,Imperial College London have been named the recipients of the 2008 Dr. PaulJanssen Award for Biomedical Research by an independent selection committee ofworld-renowned scientists.
The award salutes the most passionate and creative scientists in basic orclinical research, whose scientific achievements have made, or have strongpotential to make, a measurable impact on human health. Feldmann and Mainiwere selected for their role in the discovery of tumor necrosis factor-alpha,or TNF-alpha, as an effective therapeutic target for rheumatoid arthritis andother chronic inflammatory conditions afflicting millions worldwide. Theaward, which includes a $100,000 prize, will be presented to the winners atevents in New York and Beerse, Belgium in September.
According to Solomon Snyder, Ph.D., Distinguished Service Professor ofNeuroscience, Pharmacology and Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins School of Medicineand Chairman, Janssen Award Selection Committee, "The work of Feldmann andMaini exemplifies the bench-to-bedside approach that Paul Janssen'scontributions epitomized. It is extremely rare for researchers to identify amolecular messenger in test tube studies, demonstrate its physiologicrelevance in animals and themselves carry these efforts forward to asuccessful clinical demonstration. Feldmann and Maini did all of this, leadingto therapeutic agents of inestimable, lifesaving importance."
Established by Johnson & Johnson, the Dr. Paul Janssen Award forBiomedical Research honors the founder of Janssen Pharmaceutica. Known to hiscolleagues as "Dr. Paul," Janssen was one of the 20th century's most giftedand passionate researchers, a physician-scientist who helped save millions oflives through his contribution to the discovery and development of more than80 medicines. Janssen's legacy continues to inspire Johnson & Johnson'scommitment to finding innovative cures for unmet medical needs.
Feldmann and Maini have collaborated for more than 20 years in basicresearch and clinical trials that have transformed the treatment of rheumatoidarthritis and other chronic inflammatory conditions. Feldmann and Mainiinvestigated the role of cytokines, protein messenger molecules that driveinflammation, and found that a single cytokine, TNF, was capable of drivingthe disease process. This led them to seek ways of blocking TNF, and theychose to use a monoclonal antibody previously developed for an unrelatedcondition. Clinical trials revealed rapid and dramatic improvement ofrheumatoid disease activity with anti-TNF therapy, which led to development ofseveral anti-TNF drugs. As TNF is also involved in other chronic inflammatorydiseases, the pioneering work of Feldmann and Maini has led to the routine useof anti-TNF therapy for many prevalent and debilitating conditions.
Feldmann said, "We are very pleased with the widespread clinicalapplicability of our discovery that a messenger molecule, TNF, was aneffective target for treatment not only in rheumatoid arthritis but also otherchronic inflammatory conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease,ankylosing spondylitis and psoriasis. This discovery suggested that othercytokine messenger molecules are also good treatment targets and has led to anemerging branch of medicine -- anti-cytokine therapy. I believe Dr. Janssenwould have been intrigued as we explore the range of diseases treatable bythese anti-cytokines."
"Our discovery of anti-TNF therapy for disabling chronic inflammatoryconditions was the result of contributions made by many colleagues andcollaborators and only possible because of advances in molecular medicine andbiotechnology," said Maini. "The joy of the fruits of our work is that it madea difference

Can beef and pork be marinated together?
Veal is beef.
give you protein and fiber.. its great for you.
no beef is from cows and pork is from pigs
Corned beef is derived from cattle (beef), not from pigs (pork). Also, don't mistake 'corned beef' for 'corn-fed beef'. 'Corned beef' is a brine cured cut of beef, whereas …'corn-fed beef' is cattle that were fed corn as opposed to other grains.
Yes. You can also cook chicken and beef together, and a variety of meats may be included together in a cooked dish such as a casserole, meatloaf, meatballs, and so on.
Sure you can
Yes, unless you are Muslim or Jewish.
The best thing to do would be to do a 1/2 and 1/2 combination. You can also do a 1/3 beef 1/3 turkey and a 1/3 pork. It would be even better
Beef is definitely more healthy. Sorry to those pork lovers but even in high temperatures the bacteria in pig meat does not die. The bacteria comes from the food they eat. Pig…s will eat almost anything including their own feces(poop). Its gross but its true. Cows eat mainly grass and other plants. Pork
In theory you can, provided that you get the internal temperature of 160F (71C) for your pork. That is the FDA recommended internal temperature for pork. There really isn't an… internal temperature recommendation for beef, just basic guidelines for rare, medium, well-done, etc... if you are going to be cooking them in the same pot, I would always recommend cooking both to an internal temperature of 160F. That is the temperature when pork is deemed safe to eat, so you have to cook your beef to the same temperature because they are being cooked sharing the same liquids and juices. However, you should also be aware of any allergies that anyone might have when combining different types of meat. A friend of mine is allergic to pork, but not beef, so doing something like that would be mighty dangerous around her. So... can you? Most likely. Should you? At your own risk. I would always recommend cooking separately, just in case, but if you are careful there is no reason why you couldn't.
yesss... why not?
No. Pork is made from pig and beef is made from cow. completely different.
you cant eat either of them if you are Jewish
There is no such thing. Pork comes from pigs and beef is cow meat, two entirely different animals. It is, however, possible that a badly punctuated recipe meant to refer to… a mixture of ground pork and ground beef.
Marinade is used to enrich the flavor and tenderize food. Acidic ingredients used in marinades includevinegar, lemon juice, or wine, flavored with herbs or spices. Marinades… for red meat may or may not contain oil, because the meat will usually contain enough fat. Marinadeshould be thin enough to better penetrate the meat. A good ratio is 1/2 cup marinade per 1 lb. of meat. The length of time to marinate food will depend on a few factors: . If your marinade recipe contains acid, alcohol or salt, you should marinate less than four hours. . If your marinade recipe contains citric juices, such as lemon or lime juice,marinate for less than two hours. . If your marinade recipe contains no salt, acid or alcohol, you can marinate overnight or longer. You should use glass or plastic containers to marinate, as metal may react with the acid in the recipe. Alwaysmarinate in the refrigerator to avoid bacterial growth, even if therecipe calls for room temperature. Below is a delicious marinaderecipe for marinating beef, pork, chicken and turkey. Perfect Marinade Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup salad oil 3/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup worcester sauce 2 tablespoons dry mustard (prepared mustard is fine) 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper 1/2 cup wine vinegar (white is fine) 1 1/2 teaspoon parsley 2 cloves garlic, crushed (1 teaspoon garlic powder is fine) 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 package onion soup mix Procedure: . Whisk together all ingredients thoroughly. . Pour marinade in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag or plastic container with a lid. . Place meat in marinade; seal bag or cover with lid. . Refrigerate 4 hours. . Drain well before cooking your meat. .

Libyan authorities reopened the capital's main airport on Thursday, after closing it nearly three months ago amid heavy fighting between rival militias.
Mitiga airport was closed down in September after shelling hit what was Tripoli's only functional civilian airport. At the time, the UN mission in Libya said four projectiles struck the area, with one hitting an airplane carrying pilgrims coming back from Saudi Arabia.
The clashes began eight months ago when eastern-based fighters, the Libyan National Army, launched a siege to take the capital from the weak but UN-recognized Government of National Accord. Since 2015, Libya has been split by rival governments, one in the east and the other in Tripoli.
After almost eight months, the capital's siege has been fought to a stalemate.
Two flights operated by different Libyan carriers took off from Mitiga airport early on Thursday. One flew to neighboring Tunisia's capital, Tunis, and the other to Turkey's capital, Istanbul, according to a pilot and a passenger.

What's so special about the Brigstow?
In a city that seems to have converted every brutalist Sixties office block into £50-a-night stop-offs for weekend clubbers, here's a smart new building that's both comfortable and affordable. Excellent waterfront location with most of the city's nightlife in walking distance. This is important, because if you're coming from out of town you'll find that the new city-centre traffic system has been designed by Torquemada. Leave the car at home.
How affordable is affordable?
Doubles are £75-£95 per night at weekends. The rooms have all the same facilities, the ones with the views cost more. All have a modern, uncluttered feel with optimum use of space. Go for the '05' numbers for a balcony with river views; the '03' corner rooms have huge windows on two sides.
Facilities? What facilities?
Attention to detail is evident throughout - unobtrusive inset bed lights, comfy bathrobes. The beds are big and comfortable with well plumped pillows. A roomy bathroom with a large shower and - for a touch of decadence - a built-in plasma TV screen on every bathroom wall. They're only little, but the picture's great.
Very modern. Is the whole place hi-tech?
Laptop connections in each room, and a smart working area for those who have to. The public spaces have the same laminated wood floors and clean lines as the bedrooms, although this, and the floor-to-ceiling windows, gives a rather antiseptic atmosphere to the restaurant. Friendly service is a plus, the odd selection of piped music at mealtimes is a minus.
So why choose here over anywhere else?
The combination of value and location is a winner. You'll pay only a little less for the basics elsewhere in Bristol, and could pay a lot more for a similar standard of comfort. Good for weekenders who don't plan on clubbing till 6am (why pay for a decent room if you won't use it?). If you want to see it for yourself, visit www.fullers.co.uk where you can view 360 images of the interiors.

How do these different models, notionally striving to evaluate the same fields, with external forcing assigned in (as nearly as possible) the same way, obtain such different results?
Models differ in their internal representations and in their external forcing. Some of these differences are seen in tables of model specifications. A major challenge facing all numerical ocean models is that the output from models is often highly sensitive to seemingly subtle differences of input:
|different numerical methods for space & time discretization|
|different horizontal and vertical grid spacing|
|different choices of parameters within a model|
|different external (surface) forcing|
|different lateral boundary & initial conditions|
|different bottom topography, passages, basin geometry|
Choices of methods and internal parameters along with external forcing and boundary conditions are all uncertain. There is always a danger that any model may achieve "right"-looking answers for a combination of many wrong reasons. Moreover, from sparse observations we don't know what would be "right".
To begin to understand differences among models, we use just one model: IOS. Among the ways IOS differs from other models, there is a question what "stuff" models try to calculate. It is not correct to think models estimate "the temperature" or "the salinity" or "the velocity" at any point at any time. In reality, fields like temperature, salinity, velocity and everything else vary rapidly on small space and time scales. A usual view is that models estimate space-time averaged fields. However, defining the space-time averaging operator then deriving equations is problematic. (The question gets even harder when high resolution models become eddy active.)
IOS is based on a different idea. The "stuff" IOS tries to describe is probability of possible Arctic oceans. The fields calculated by IOS are moments. Thus "temperature" is really "temperature moment of probability of ..." (But it's easier to say "temperature"!) Beyond mere words, this leads to different equations for probability-averaged fields. In particular, gradients of the entropy of probability act as "generalized thermodynamic forces" (GTFs) upon the moments fields.
You can read more about entropy, statistical dynamics and GTFs. Here we consider only one GTF due to ocean eddies interacting with bottom topography to drive mean flow. This is called "neptune". Because neptune arises from statistical dynamics, it is missing from the classical dynamics which form the basis for usual ocean models. In this way IOS differs from other models. By removing neptune from the IOS model, we can make IOS more like other models. The following tables compare IOS with and without neptune, at 500m and across Fram Strait.
|IOS w/ neptune|
|IOS w/o neptune|
|data and inferred|
|IOS w/ neptune|
|IOS w/o neptune|
|data and inference|
The two IOS cases can be compared with each other, with results of other models, and with data and observational inference. April data for temperature and salinity are plotted from the Polar Science Center Hydrographic Climatology. Inferred circulation at intermediate depths (200 to 1700m) is from Rudels et al., 1994. A two-year average velocity from current meters across Fram Strait (along 79N) is from Dr. Eberhard Fahrbach.
What did we learn? The influence of single term, neptune, plays a large role in IOS circulation. Over the range of many models' results, the sense of circulation (more cyclonic or anticyclonic at 500m) varies greatly. Without neptune it is seen that IOS has broad, weak cyclonic circulation around the central Arctic, whereas neptune anchors the circulation in a way more like that suggested by Rudels et al. A second comparison is seen in the velocity section across Fram Strait where IOS changes from strongly horizontally sheared (with neptune) to weakly vertically sheared (without). Such remarks do not tend to validate (or invalidate) neptune but rather identify an aspect in which one model, IOS, differs from others. Many many differences affect model results. We see, e.g., that IOS suffers biases in temperature and salinity compared with observations.
A further study using AOMIP models examines the storage of heat and freshwater throughout the top 1000m of the Arctic. A pdf file (7 MB) can be downloaded.
