"The team understand the demands and challenges ahead, but have prepared accordingly and are ready to meet those challenges head on.
Bay of Plenty Rugby Union's CEO Mike Rogers said "The Mitre 10 Cup is the toughest provincial rugby competition in the world and every year it throws up some amazing new young talent. The tradition and pride associated with representing your community is hugely important to everyone involved.

[Fan Talent] – Ferry
By Josh Naughton on	 October 27, 2018 0 Comments
When it comes to wanting more in a song by your favourite K-Pop artist, a normal thing to do would be to look for a remix on somewhere like YouTube or/and Soundcloud. Be it that of a slow trap mix to a hardcore bootleg, these sites are your best bet for the perfect mix to fit your taste.
Looking back throughout K-Pop's popularity surge online from the early advancements to the present day, both amateur and professional producers, remixers, DJs have come and gone, with talented names such as Drokas Mashups, Epitome, and DJ Masa now seemingly faded into obscurity or pursuing different projects. If you happened to be a K-Pop fan five or six years ago, you would have probably heard at least one of their online releases alongside the likes of Areia Creations – who still outputs incredible mixes and original material to this day.
One such name, however, has been continuing to stand out from these K-Pop re-hashers for years. With official remixes for big K-Pop names T-ARA, and Seungri for example, it's no wonder that Ferry, is a popular choice for when finding a remix to suit that extra adrenaline rush needed that wasn't present in a song before. It can also be mentioned that Ferry is also a part of Seungri's own-label Natural High Record, while also the CEO of ILIN Records, producer for Cino Entertainment.

Looking at his great achievements as remixer and producer, his remix of BLACKPINK's debut track "Boombayah", released just days after the original song, has now currently amassed over 1.3 million views on Youtube. His additions to the song include a beautifully-produced pounding beat that is perfectly built up from start to beat drop.
Ferry has also made two contributions to "The Great Remixes of VI", a remix compilation of songs by Seungri. The two songs in question being "VVIP" and "What Can I Do". Let's not also forget his amazing remixes of "Sugar Free" by T-ARA back in late 2014, which helped served as their official English debut release.
Producing for Natural High Record as well, he's outputted a string of bops that's for sure to get a club dance floor on fire, metaphorically speaking of course!
Anticipating and supporting new remixes and songs by Ferry is a must, given his creativity and passion that goes into the production of these spectacular tracks. With his contributions, he has and continues to leave a positive mark on K-Pop's global spread and the international electronic dance music scene.

Confectionery manufacturer Bon Bon Buddies winds up
By Edward Devlin2020-12-18T16:32:00+00:00
Confectionery manufacturer Bon Bon Buddies has voluntarily wound up the business after being placed into liquidation by its creditors.
The sweet maker behind the Brain Blasterz brand appointed insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor as liquidator on 30 November 2020.
Begbies refused to comment on the reasons the company entered liquidation or if any buyers had been sought for assets.
Established in 1993, the business had grown to supply more than 40 countries worldwide, with eight European sales and logistics facilities and further global distribution.
However, it came under significant pressure following the Brexit vote in 2016, with costs rocketing and debts mounting.
It also suffered from a sustained decline in support for licensed character confectionery from UK and European retailers.
In November 2018, Bon Bon Buddies agreed a Company Voluntary Arrangement with creditors as part of a turnaround plan, which included liquidating operations in France, Poland, Germany, Spain and Hong Kong.
As part of its turnaround efforts, the company focused on growing its Brain Blasterz sour candy confectionery range and reduce its reliance of licenced products from the likes of Disney.
The business suffered an "unprecedented" loss of £6m as a result of the forced rescue plan, with sales slumping from £44m at their height to £22m in 2018 and £10m in 2019.
The latest abridged accounts - signed off by director in September - for the year to 30 April show losses of £1.2m.
Employee numbers shrank from close to 60 in 2018 to 5 this year.
Bon Bon Buddies plunged to £6m loss to trigger rescue plan

ST. LOUIS – Derrek Green's eyes lit up as the black lab galloped across the airport corridor. He bent down, threw his arms out and embraced Zeva, the tail-wagging, retired military dog he had to leave behind two years earlier.
Watching from the side, Molli Oliver's eyes filled with tears. Another happy reunion.
Oliver is a chipper 5-foot-2 flight attendant for United Airlines, who has taken it upon herself to reunite retired military dogs and their former handlers. Her personal mission started last year when she struck up a conversation with a soldier still hurting five years after parting ways with his military canine.
I said, 'Well, where is the dog? I'll get him for you,'" Oliver recalled.
It was the start of a new passion for Oliver. The reunion of Green and Zeva in El Paso, Texas, on Thursday marked her fifth homecoming.
"It was emotional," Green, a 26-year-old Army staff sergeant, said of getting Zeva back. "At one point I almost started crying, but I fought back those tears."
Oliver, 65, of Los Angeles, has always had a deep bond with the military — several members of her family have served. She also has a love for dogs.
She was heartbroken by Sgt. Andrew Mulherron's story as she flew with Marines heading for deployment overseas in April 2015. Mulherron was the first handler for another black lab, Boone, starting in 2009.
Their bond was deepened by the fact that Boone was a hero, receiving a medal for detecting 11 confirmed explosive devices in Afghanistan.
Mulherron eventually settled in California and Boone went to another handler. Oliver tracked down Boone to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and was able to secure permission to fly him to California, her first reunion.
For that one and the next three, Oliver paid for the flights and other costs herself. News about her efforts led to donations, which funded Zeva's trip to El Paso.
Any cost is worth it to see the look on a soldier's face when he has his dog back, Oliver said.
"It's overwhelming for them," she said. "It's a part of them that's been missing."
Doug Miller, working dog manager for the Department of Defense, said the military typically has about 1,700 dogs working in all branches, with another 800 to 1,000 in kennel for training, awaiting assignment, or for medical reasons.
Most dogs are used for patrol and detection of drugs and explosives, Miller said.
Over the course of a dog's working life, the animal typically goes through several handlers. When the dog is retired, the final handler usually gets first dibs. Other times, a past handler has made it clear he or she wants to adopt. If multiple handlers want the dog, the commander chooses "based on the best interest of the dog," Miller said.
Zeva, like Boone, was trained to sniff out bombs. She first teamed with Green in 2013.
It turned out the military had other plans for both of them. Green was sent to a combat engineering unit in 2014. Zeva never really took to the training and remained kenneled in Fort Leonard Wood.
"She definitely is not a military working dog," Green laughed. "She'd rather relax on your couch than go out and look for bombs."
Green, now based in Fort Bliss, Texas, never forgot his friend, and secured permission to adopt Zeva. The kennel master reached out to Oliver.
Last week, she flew to St. Louis and made the 130-mile drive to the Army base to pick up Zeva and fly her to Texas, where the dog now lives with Green, his wife, their three young children and another lab.
Oliver said the first five reunions are only the beginning.
"We're trying to help as many as we can," she said.

Today's post comes to you from reader Shelli, who co-runs a personal chef business with her husband, Marcus. I like to share guest posts with you guys when I can, because it brings variety that one person alone can't provide. This is a recipe that has nothing to do with blending, though I think you'll like it!
M & S Healthy Cooking is based in the Los Angeles area and specializes in preparing healthy, low calorie, great-tasting meals for their clients. They prepare meals for each client on an individual level — no mass production — which is not only a time-saver, but can really help get someone on the right path to a healthy lifestyle.
With that intro, I'll hand it over to Shelli to take it away!
When I am planning in advance to make them, I pick up yellow, orange, or red bell peppers to stuff, they give this meal such a great flavor; however, this time I only had green to work with. I will also use quinoa and brown rice, but this time, we did not happen to have any quinoa. What I did have turned out great though!
Earlier in the week I made spaghetti for Marcus to take to work for his lunches, and I had just enough of the sauce left over. I make my sauce from scratch to make sure it does not have anything that Marcus will not eat, namely onions. Have you ever found a jarred or canned tomato sauce that does not have onions listed as an ingredient? So far I have not, so I make it from scratch. It really does not take a lot of time, and the flavor is so great, it is worth the little extra effort. This week I used ground turkey meat in the sauce, which was perfect since that is what I typically use in my stuffed bell peppers to keep the calorie count down and the nutrition value up.
Many times when I cook, I just throw things together without measuring, even when following a recipe. I make adjustments as I go based on what I know will taste good together. However, this does make it a little difficult to give someone my recipe, but I will do my best here. Feel free to make any adjustments you feel necessary!
Take the bell pepper halves and place in a shallow pan upside down with about ½ inch of water. Cover and steam over high heat until just tender but still a little crunchy. Drain, keep covered so they stay warm and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, mix spaghetti sauce and rice until fully mixed and warm, stir in the spinach until just wilted.
Place bell peppers on a plate and fill.
It is that simple. Since this already contains your protein, vegetables and some carbs, I generally will have some sliced fruit or a simple green salad on the side.
I like my vegetables a little crunchy when I eat them, I also like to make sure when my clients warm up their meals they do not become overcooked. If you prefer your vegetables softer, steam the bell peppers a little longer, especially if you will be eating this right after preparing.
When made with orange, yellow, or red bell peppers, you add addition color that just looks fantastic. I suggest trying one of those with this recipe as well.
Thanks Shelli for this great guest post. I have these on the menu for early next week!
If you are interested in guest posting on Test Kitchen Tuesday, I am open to suggestions. Shoot me an email and we can talk. I do have some general guidelines for guest posts, in that they must cover healthy eating topics or recipes, must be original content, and, must fit with the overall intent of this blog.
Happy early weekend all and thanks for reading!
I really don't miss bread.
As I have taken on a gluten free diet, I have found it fairly easy for myself. I had been weaning off bread for a while just somewhat naturally, so I haven't really been looking to replace gluten foods. Truth be told, I really haven't eaten that many in ages – a healthy diet full of whole fruits and vegetables pretty much has killed my refined carb cravings. I crave kale, avocados, mangos, and sweet potatoes (truly, I do). But, I am not just me. I also have 2Chili to consider, and I can't ask him to give up gluten. I can ask him to do a lot of things, but, going gluten free is most definitely a no-go for 2ChiliBreadBowl.
We don't have a kitchen right now, so there isn't much concern for the present. I have been on an unintentional raw foods diet. I generally pack a lunch/dinner, and join him where ever he wishes do dine (usually, Subway). But, there will be a day in our future where we'll have a kitchen again and I'm thinking about how to address some of our old favorite meals with a gluten free lens.
While on vacation at a rental house in Bend, I went a little crazy. I hadn't cooked in months (months!) and it was time to create. After the green juice made in the Ninja Mega, I tackled a gluten free quesadilla with the ingredients we had on hand. I went to the store and bought a random assortment of things with no real purpose, and this was the result.
Whatever it is, it is delicious, easy, and packed with nutrition. That is winning no matter your position on gluten, now isn't it?
I used all organic, but that is not required.
You may have more mixture than space on your tortilla – this is okay! Just add it to the side and go about your day.
You could go any number of ways with the tortilla on this one, but this calculation includes a gluten free tortilla that is 130 calories. Just use this as a guidepost. Click to enlarge.
I have been pretty busy at work lately, back into serious triathlon training, and back to being pinched for time. Certainly, this is pretty normal for most folks, as the holiday shine has worn off and reality has resumed.
So, for this week's Test Kitchen Tuesday I didn't have a lot of time to research new ideas. Instead, I called upon the card catalogue in my brain while on my bike trainer to think up what to make, based on past blogs and recipes I've read. It's amazing the clarity available while one spins away endlessly without getting anywhere!
I wanted something hearty but not too heavy in the calorie department, as 2Chili and I have embarked on what we're calling our "Near Year's 10 Pound Challenge." This is really a way for both of us to get to our racing weight over the next few months by supporting each other, not really a contest per se. But as the cook, it is up to me to provide something healthy, nutrient-dense, and reasonable in the way of calories.
The end result was a veggie marinara pasta with a twist. I was able to serve up a big plateful that was low on calories by calling on whole wheat pasta, spaghetti squash, zucchini squash, and carrots. The spaghetti squash and zucchini served as faux noodles, so we were able to each have only 2 ounces of pasta but get a very full plate! 2Chili had previously balked at using spaghetti squash as pasta, but didn't even realize I had done just that in this dish. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky! Oh, and healthy too!
With about 20 minutes left to go on spaghetti squash, boil water and add pasta and steam zucchini; I suggest steaming the zucchini over the boiling pasta with a colander covered with the lid to a large pot. Ideally, your pasta and spaghetti squash are done at the same time!
Click to Enlarge. Based on low sodium pasta sauce – regular pasta sauce will dramatically increase the sodium content.
The Verdict: I'll make this again for sure. 2Chili cleaned his plate, but left a pile of onions off to the side because I hadn't quite sautéed them long enough. If you're not being as nitpicky with the calories, add 1/4 cup of part skim mozzerella or some parmesan cheese to the top!

A long and busy offseason is coming to a close and we are now less than two weeks away from the Green Flag flying at Madison. This season is gearing up to be an exciting one with twelve teams, a potential new race at Houston, and Versus covering all the action. For a preview of the season I will rank the twelve teams who plan to race the full season. This ranking is part prediction on how I see the teams finishing in the National High Point race and part "power rankings" on which teams I see in the strongest (and weakest) position going into the 2011 season. It should also be noted that the emphasis of these rankings is on how I see the High Point standings shaking out and not necessarily how I see the order of finish of any particular heat on the water. So without further ado here are my 2011 preseason rankings
1: U-1 Oh Boy! Oberto-Miss Madison Steve David and the Miss Madison team have found a winning formula and the three time defending champions are the favorites to win it all again in 2011. What has to be scary for any team looking to take the U-1 from the Miss Madison team is that the rule changes announced in the offseason have probably done more to benefit the U-1 team than any other team. One will remember that the Miss Madison VI was built so it could plane at low speeds thus giving it an advantage in grabbing inside lanes, and veteran Steve David has always had a knack for grabbing the inside lane, so the return of fighting for lanes puts this advantage of the U-1 back into play. This, along with the new emphasis on a two hour qualifying window where the U-1 is always strong, means that it will be extra difficult to defeat the Oberto team this season. The rest of the field is catching up and it certainly won't be a cakewalk for the Miss Madison team to capture a fourth straight championship. With that said though a team needs to show that it can give the strong performance at every single race and knock the U-1 off its perch. Until that happens the Oh Boy! Oberto-Miss Madison is still the favorite to win the High Point title.
2: U-96 Spirit of Qatar Over the last two seasons, the Qatar-Ellstrom team has consistently been the fastest competitor on the water, but has fallen short to the more consistent Oberto-Madison team in the High Point chase due to costly penalties and accidents that have resulted in a huge loss in points and opened the window just enough for the U-1. After falling short the last two seasons I expect the U-96 to come out poised to win the championship this season. Unless something unforeseen happens, Dave Villwock will surpass Bill Muncey for the all-time lead in race victories at some point this season. The team has strong financial backing, an all-time great behind the wheel, and one of the best crews in the sport, but it is left to be seen how fighting for lanes will affect this superfast boat and if the team can catch the U-1 in the High Point chase.
3: U-5 Graham Trucking The Graham Trucking sponsorship has transferred from the U-7 to the U-5 team this season and the U-5 comes into 2011 with a striking new paint job and a focus on making its mark on the H1 tour. Jeff Bernard, now in his sixth season, is fast becoming one of the top drivers in the sport. He also showed a knack for grabbing the inside lane in 2008 so with the new rules he should be a threat to win at any race, especially considering that he will have one and possibly even two teammates that can team up with him to grab the inside lanes in the Final Heat (he will be on his own in the preliminary heats, as per a new rule that doesn't allow teammates to be drawn into the same preliminary heat). 2010 was largely a struggle for the U-5 in comparison to their strong performances in 2008 and 2009 but with another year of experience, one of the best hulls ever built in Unlimited Hydroplane history, and new rules that should be an advantage to the team I expect 2011 to be a huge rebound year. If anyone can give the U-1 and U-96 a run for their money, it's the U-5.
4: U-88 Degree Men Few Unlimited teams in history have ever had as dramatic an offseason as Schumacher Racing did this past Winter. The team is now entering 2011 with a new boat, new driver, new manager, new crew chief, new sponsor, new number, and perhaps in an even better position than it was in 2010 when the team entered the season with a lot of promise. The Degree Men sponsorship will obviously be a huge support to this team. Jim Harvey brings decades of expertise and J. Michael Kelly has shown over the last two seasons that he can consistently put a boat in a position to win. Once the team gets comfortable with their new hydroplane this team could be right at the top. Of course with an untested boat that will take some getting used to and a team with so many new members who haven't all worked together before it is hard telling how it will all mesh together, but the end result could be spectacular. This team has all the pieces of a championship-caliber team; it's just a matter of putting those pieces together.
5: U-11 Peters & May Not since Ted Porter's Formula Boats team in 2006 has a brand new team come into the sport with this much anticipation. The partnership of Scott Raney and J.W. Myers brought a lot of excitement into the offseason and for good reason. Few people are as respected in Unlimited Hydroplane racing as Scott Raney, the longtime crew chief for the U-8 and the U-37. J.W. Myers has shown that he is one of the most talented as well as one of the most likable drivers in Unlimited Hydroplane racing. Add the former (and relatively new) U-25 hull and strong financial backing from Peters & May, and the Unlimited Racing Group could be a contender right out of the box. The 2009-25 hull is still largely unproven and it is left to be seen how Raney and Myers will take on their new role as team co-owners, but their experience and expertise means that this team is in a good place to make a strong statement in its first season.
6: U-21 Lakeridge Paving This still relatively new team showed a lot of promise in 2010 in their first season racing with the 2007-21 hull. Brian Perkins has shown that he is one of the best up and coming drivers in Unlimited Hydroplane racing and the O'Farrells have shown a deep commitment to the sport. The team has already shown that they are able to consistently make Final Heats and with another offseason of preparing their state of the art hull they should be able to make it to the podium a few times this season. One thing, however, stands between them and becoming true contenders: money. The team will once again be racing without major sponsorship so this puts them at a disadvantage with their better financed competitors. Perhaps with the expanded media coverage of H1 this season the team can land a sponsor wanting to get in on motorsports marketing. If that happens, this team could be right there with the big boys.
7: U-7 Formulaboats.com Of the five teams who have won at least one race the last five seasons, none of them come into 2011 with more questions than the U-7. With all the news surrounding the Graham Trucking sponsorship being transferred to the U-5 and the U-57's new driver development program, the U-7 has almost become an afterthought. Add to that the departure of J. Michael Kelly and the team will head into 2011 with a rookie driver. Rookie driver Scott Liddycoat does show a lot of promise, with his championships in multiple limited classes. The team still has a solid crew and should still consistently be able to qualify for final heats and make it to the podium from time to time, but with a rookie driver and the emphasis around Precision Performance Engineering seemingly being shifted to the U-5, the U-7 should see a dropoff from their strong showings of the last two seasons.
8: U-17 Miss Red Dot The Our Gang Racing Team is now in its fifth season and is poised for a breakout year. The team comes into 2011 with Red Dot as a full season sponsor and looking to build on its 2010 season when it was able to lay down some great qualifying speeds and persistently make it to the Final Heat. Driver Kip Brown continues to get more experienced and more comfortable behind the wheel of an Unlimited Hydroplane, and Cal Phipps will drive for the team in Detroit after his strong rookie season. Inconsistency has plagued this team in recent years, and the U-17 might find itself getting lost in the shuffle of a sport that is suddenly crowded with top flight teams. With everyone in the operation getting more experience in their roles and the support from Red Dot, however, this team should be able to build of its 2010 campaign and make a much better showing in the National High Point race.
9: U-22 Great Scott! In only its third season, the family run operation of Webster Racing out of Pennsylvania has made its mark as a consistent performer. Despite being far from the fastest hull in the fleet, Mike Webster has been able to finish almost every heat he's entered and make the cut for a handful of Final Heats while finishing seventh in the High Point standings in 2010. 2011 should bring an even stronger performance from this team as they have purchased one of the most reliable boats built in recent decades, the 1988 Miss Madison hull. This is still a small and relatively inexperienced operation, and it's hard telling what a twenty three year old hull that has been doing display work the last four seasons has left as a competitor. With another year of experience and the inevitable assistance from the Miss Madison team showing the ins and outs of their old boat, this team could very easily turn some heads in 2011.
10: U-100 Leland Racing The team that won the 1996 championship and once was regularly in the upper echelon of the sport, Leland Racing has almost become an afterthought in H1 Unlimited. Greg Hopp is one of the most talented drivers in Hydroplane racing, as is shown from his performance in the Unlimited Lights and Grand Prix circuits. The U-100 has been plagued by mechanical issues and inconsistency the last few seasons. Also, it appears that Leland racing will be entering 2011 without major sponsorship so that curtails their ability to put together a winning team. The team is still capable of turning in strong performances, however, and with Greg Hopp at the wheel it is not outside the realm of possibility for this team to put together a strong weekend and finish on the podium or perhaps even win a race.
11: U-57 Formulaboats.com Popular and experienced Mark Evans returns to race a full season in 2011 and serve as mentor to promising young driver Bianca Bononcini. With its emphasis on the driver development program, it should be expected that the U-57 will make a bigger impact in the pits and during testing sessions than it will on the water during heat competition. The U-57 will also be racing a hull that has been unreliable since its debut in the early 1990's. With the involvement of Mark Evans and the backing of the Formula Boats team, though, the U-57 should make it to a few final heats in 2011
12: U-25 Superior Racing Ken Muskatel is quite possibly the hardest working man in Unlimited Hydroplane racing. After an offseason when he underwent major heart surgery and sold his primary hull to the U-11, he is returning to competitive racing with a leased hull from the O'Farrells that has raced as the U-48 in recent years. If Jon Zimmerman gets some seat time the team could make a strong showing and make it to a couple Final Heats. If Ken Muskatel chooses to drive the boat himself no one should expect much from the team as a competitor, but that's alright. No other current driver, except perhaps Steve David and Dave Villwock, has done more for Unlimited Hydroplane racing than Muskatel. If this offseason has shown anything, it shows that nothing will dampen his passion for the sport, and he has definitely earned his spot in the pits.
So there is how I see the boat teams standing at the beginning of the season. I realize that not everyone will agree with my projections, so I invite your input on who you think is at the advantage or disadvantage heading into 2011. Let's go Racing!

Region Ticino
Bed and Breakfast in Lugano
Lugano is situated on a bay on the northern shore of Lake Lugano and framed by two landmark mountains (Monte San Salvatore and Monte Brè). With approximately 70,000 inhabitants, this Mediterranean-like city has an international flair. It is the largest city in the Canton of Ticino and the third most important financial centre in Switzerland, after Zurich and Geneva. Lugano is not just a banking and business centre, but thanks to its mild climate also a popular resort, which every year attracts visitors from around the world. While cold temperatures still prevail in the north, camellias and magnolias are already blooming here, and the promenade with its parks and numerous subtropical plants is perfect for leisurely strolling. Lugano was ruled by the Milan Visconti family in the second half of the 14th century and clearly shows its Italian heritage. The pedestrian-only historic city centre is well worth a visit. Among the popular sites, you will find the majestic Cathedral of San Lorenzo, Lombard-style buildings with arcades, and elegant villas surrounded by beautiful gardens. Not only is Lugano a university and cultural city with several museums and the modern cultural centre LAC with theatre and concert hall, it is also an ideal destination for nature and hiking enthusiasts. A funicular leads to the Monte Brè and Mount San Salvatore, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view. From the peak, a hiking trail leads down to the lake, and from there Lugano can be reached by boat. Other popular destinations for a day trip include the picturesque fishing villages of Morcote and Gandria, plus Monte Generoso and Monte Sighignola, both of which offer a spectacular vantage point on the opposite side of the lake. Monte Sighignoa is also called "Balcone d"Italia" because of the breath-taking view from Lake Lugano to Monte Rosa. The wide range of hotels, apartments, rooms and private accommodations offers a suitable accommodation for every traveller. Several bed & breakfasts are available with a fantastic view or a pool and garden.

Mystery Lovers' Kitchen: Welcome to Barbara Early!
A very warm welcome to Beverly Allen, author of the Bridal Bouquet Shop Mysteries. FOR WHOM THE BLUEBELL TOLLS, the second book in the series, was just released this month!
But don't miss her amazing recipe for Sponge Candy!
I was delighted to be invited today! Even though my current series isn't a culinary mystery, I spend a good amount of time in the kitchen. I'm a bit of a down home country cook, more at ease at big family dinners and the occasional church potluck, than I am familiar with haute cuisine. But I love cooking for people, seeing friends and family gathered around the table.
Audrey Bloom, the amateur sleuth in the Bridal Bouquet Shop Mysteries, isn't much of a cook, I'm afraid. She's more at home in the flower shop she owns with her cousin Liv--or running around Ramble, Virginia, solving murders. Rather, she cooks up bouquets for brides, based on the language of flowers. It must work, since all of the marriages that have been blessed by her bouquets are still intact.
Still, she has a sweet tooth, and local baker Nick Maxwell keeps her supplied with all the carbs she needs to keep her energy up while finding clues and following suspects. Nick has inspired me to take a "baking break" more than once while writing.
When I was going through my recipes, deciding what to share today, I recalled this regional favorite. And the timing couldn't be more perfect, just before Presidents' Day. Kids might enjoy helping with this one--just be careful with the heat!
If you've never had sponge candy, don't expect it to be spongy in texture or to taste of sponges. The name comes from all the bubbles in the finished candy, giving it the appearance of sponges. It's actually quite crunchy under a layer of chocolate. And since that crunch is 99 percent sugar, it melts away on the tongue almost immediately, much like cotton candy.
Half recipe, half science fair project, this Western New York staple is almost as much fun to make as it is delicious.
In a large saucepan (at least 2 quarts. Trust me, this stuff EXPANDS!) combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Heat over medium heat until all the sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil.
You'll need a candy thermometer for this. Continue to heat the mixture until it reaches 300 degrees F. There's no need to stir at this point. It will bubble pretty well on its own.
When the thermometer reaches 300 degrees, remove the pot from the heat, QUICKLY stir in baking soda, and then pour into an ungreased 9 x 13 baking pan. As soon as that baking soda mixes with the vinegar, it will bubble like those science fair volcanoes. Don't over-stir it, or you'll stir the bubbles right out. And don't spread it out in the pan. Just dump it in and let it do its own thing.
Allow to cool completely. If the recipe is successful, the sponge candy should be crunchy, brittle, and with obvious holes. Break or cut into smaller pieces. If desired, coat with your favorite melting chocolate. Set on a tray lined with waxed paper or foil and put in refrigerator for ten to fifteen minutes, until the chocolate is well set. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Quick tips: Some plastics will melt at 300 degrees F, so use a metal spoon! And I recommend a metal pan over glass, because if the sponge candy sticks, metal plans can flex, helping with easier removal. You can melt your chocolate in a double boiler, in the microwave, or I prefer a slow-cooker on low.
And yes, it's basically sugar mixed with sugar and covered in chocolate. What's not to love?
Beverly Allen (aka Barbara Early) writes cozy mysteries with a healthy dose of comedy and sometimes a splash of romance. The first two books in the Bridal Bouquet Shop Mystery series: Bloom and Doom and For Whom the Bluebell Tolls are now available from Berkley Prime Crime, with the third, Floral Depravity, set to release in October.
Barbara grew up in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. When not reading or writing, she enjoys cooking, crafts, home-improvement projects, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and four naughty, but adorable cats.
Readers may friend her on Facebook, like her author page, and follow her on Twitter.
Don't forget to leave a comment to enter the giveaway for FOR WHOM THE BLUEBELL TOLLS. We'd like to know your favorite memory of cooking as a child. What? You didn't cook? Then what's your favorite flower?
Thank you for the giveaway! I most remember as a child making Christmas tea cakes with my mom. Also, when she or my grandmother baked pies, she would give me a bit of pie dough to roll out and play with.
I loved baking with my grandmother, as well. When I had pie dough to roll out, we then sprinkled cinnamon sugar on it, and baked it. Yummy! I still do that today with any leftover pie dough--although I must confess, it's usually the store made stuff. Just too convenient.
This may sound awful. My brother and I went through a phase where we added food coloring to everything we made. Even ice cubes. Poor Dad would get home from work to green ice and blue cake with purple icing.
Thank you for the Sponge Candy recipe, and the candy sounds yummy. FOR WHOM THE BLUEBELL TOLLS is on my TBR list. I'm looking forward to reading it. Thank you for the giveaway.
I hope you love it, Jen!
This candy is one of amy favorites. My husband introduced me to what the Australians (and others) call honeycomb candy. I will have to try making it myself. One of my favorite memories of cooking as s child was licking the beaters to "help" my mom make chocolate chip cookies. I'm not sure how much help it was, but it was always fun.
Yes, I've heard of honeycomb candy. I've also heard of molasses puffs, which I don't know is the same thing. And when you search for sponge candy on Amazon (Yes, it's there), Cadbury Crunch shows up, so I'm wondering if that's similar as well. Good things catch on!
I was told by my mother that one of my first sentences was to ask to lick the bowl, and that I enjoyed watching cooking shows with her when very young. My mother and grandmother made everything from scratch so my sister and I were given small tasks here and there. Thanks for the giveaway.
Now they warn you against bowl licking. Nice to meet a fellow survivor!
Thanks for the giveaway. My favorite memory is baking with my grandmother. I would go to her house and ask to bake and she would very patiently help me every time.
My mother didn't cook a lot, but when she did I helped. She taught me how easy it is to make a pie ,crust and all. You sound like my kind of cook.
I think this recipe is easy enough for even me to try---and it sounds good, too! I could much on it while reading your book. Thanks for the contest.
My mother wasn't a good cook and I have a huge sweet tooth so I realized that if I wanted sweets I had to make them. 2 of my friends also loved to bake so we would after school or on the weekends.
I remember making fudge and divinity with my mom as a little girl. More often than not, they wouldn't set, but we had fun together. Now I'm the official fudge maker in the family. Everyone expects it every Christmas as part of their stocking stuffer.
Hope you enjoy it, Patty!
I remember making Mac and cheese, hot dogs, and peas for family meal when I was 10 to get my Girl Scout cooking badge.
I think this would be way too sweet for me.
Thanks! Most things are fabulous covered in chocolate--and this is a real winning combination. Thanks for letting me visit!
I think I could make and eat this - sans chocolate ... Thanks.
It's good that way, too!

Using Abstract painting to calm nerves.
You get the picture! In these situation I find activity helps.
So I've been calming my nerves with some abstracts.
Working on expression and nothing else is remarkably liberating. Allowing yourself to make mistakes but then finding something new as a result. I've said it before "play" is vastly misunderstood and under appreciated.
Play is when discoveries are made!
Play is the purest form of experimentation. Sure you may then repeat the process to try and reproduce your results.
But you would never know what to repeat without playing in the first place!
Finally, and most importantly, play is calming.
In order to play you must be distracted by something. And if you're distracted, you're not worrying.
And here's the result of my playtime.
Now, I'm pretty sure I'm doing something tomorrow. What was it?… Oh yes, I remember!
So, what do you do to calm your nerves?

Hope all went well at Mall!

As India gets 1 Billion shots in the arm, myths still cloud Covid vaccination campaign
By Mohd Fahad
India has hit the 100-crore or one billion COVID vaccine landmark, but it has come with its fair share of logistic issues and misconceptions. While the Supreme Court had in May pulled up Modi government for the vaccine procurement policy that was a complete disaster in making. Later, the Centre changed its policy and thus began the journey of vaccinating the country's vast population sans any major shortage. Apart from vaccine logistics, the other challenge that various governments and administration faced was to make people aware and make them agree to get vaccinated, especially in rural areas, where people till now are quite skeptical about taking a shot in the arm. A hoard of ANMs and anganwadi workers travelled to far reaching areas and convinced people to take the jab.
Still, various myths were spread about vaccination programme. These myths were being spread due to false statements, half-truths and openly told lies.
NITI Aayog and National Expert Group on Vaccine Management for COVID-19 (NEGVAC) were busy refuting myths that travelled far and wide through social media, WhatsApp etc.
There are a large number of people who are shying away from getting the vaccine due to myth or misconception. Experts say that there is no effective treatment for coronavirus (COVID-19) yet, but it is possible to prevent it to a great extent through vaccine. That's why get the vaccine.
On the other hand, if we talk about other countries, 38 percent of the adult population in America has been vaccinated. After this, the compulsion of applying face mask there has also been abolished. In Britain, 75 percent of the adult population has had at least one dose of the vaccine. Israel has also vaccinated 60 percent of the adult population. After this, the situation in these countries has started improving to a large extent. But there are many such myths and misconceptions in India, due to which people are shying away from getting the vaccine.
Some of the major myths and facts:
The vaccine has been prepared in a very short time. So it is not safe
It is true that the corona virus vaccine has been prepared in a very short time. But that doesn't mean it isn't safe. In fact, strict rules and guidelines have been followed to approve the vaccine. Scientists have worked 24 hours a day to ensure its effectiveness. These vaccines have been tested in the laboratory. After this, its trials have been done on people. That's why this vaccine is safe.
After getting the vaccine, its side effects are also visible
The side effects of the vaccine are also wrong. There is nothing to worry about this. Adverse events have been reported in the country only 0.013 percent. Means only 130 people out of one million people have seen some side effects of it. Pain, swelling and fever at the injection site are common side effects. There is no need to worry about this. It gets cured in a day or two.
After the vaccine, drinking alcohol reduces immunity power
It is wrong to say that the immunity power is reduced by drinking alcohol after getting the vaccine. In fact, drinking too much alcohol causes liver and heart diseases. That's why doctors recommend avoiding it. The general immunity in the body of heavy drinkers can be reduced. But it has nothing to do with the vaccine.
In women who are having periods, the vaccine reduces immunity
This too is completely wrong. There is no relationship between women's periods and the effectiveness of the vaccine. Pregnant women are also getting the vaccine.
No need to get vaccine after corona is infected
People who have had corona infection. Antibodies have been made in them. But how long it would last is not known. The vaccine also works to make antibodies. In such a situation, the central government has said that people who have got corona infection, they can get the vaccine three months after their recovery.
Apart from these, there have been misconceptions regarding the central government too
Centre has not approved globally available vaccines
The central government has eased the process of getting vaccines approved by US FDA, EMA, UK's MHRA and Japan's PMDA and WHO's emergency use list in India in April this year itself. These vaccines will not need to undergo prior bridging tests. The provision has now been further amended to completely eliminate the testing requirement for well-tested and tested vaccines manufactured in other countries. No application from any foreign manufacturer for approval is pending with the Drug Controller.
Centre not doing enough to hike domestic production of vaccines
The central government has been playing the role of an effective facilitator to enable more companies to produce vaccines since the beginning of 2020. There is only 1 Indian company (Bharat Biotech) which had limited facility. The Government of India ensured that apart from expanding Bharat Biotech's own plants, 3 other companies/plants started production of Covaxin, which has now increased from 1 to 4. Bharat Biotech increased the production of vaccine from 1 crore to 10 crore per month. In addition, the three PSUs will target to produce up to 4 crore doses by December. With the continuous encouragement of the Government, Serum Institute is increasing the Covishield production of 6.5 crore doses to 11.0 crore doses per month.
Centre not taking enough steps to vaccinate children
Till now no country in the world is giving vaccine to children below the age of 12 years. India, however, processes to trails for vaccinating both kids under the age of 2-12 years and 12-18 years are going on. However, with the conception of third wave and it affecting children more than adults, vaccination of children need speedy redressal. Having said that, the final decision has to be taken by scientists only after sufficient data is available on the basis of trials.

Love rugby? You'll love this. The Dubai Rugby Sevens is one of the most popular events on the Dubai calendar (social and sporting) and this year's event runs from Thursday November 28 to Saturday December 1. The rugby sevens competition was first played in Dubai in the 1970s, but back then it was a lot smaller, with just a group of expats competing at Dubai Exiles RFC. The winners of the first tournament were The Staffordshire Regiment. In 1996 Dubai hosted one of the qualifying rounds of the World Cup Sevens and in 1999 hosted one of the tournaments of the World Rugby Sevens Series, which it has done ever since. It set up shop at The Sevens Stadium in 2008, a huge arena on the Dubai-Al Ain Road just down from Dubai Outlet Mall. It can seat up to 40,000 and isn't just for sport – Justin Bieber and Duran Duran have played there.
Gates open at 7.30am every day, so you can get there as early as you like. Matches go on until around 9pm each night. Entry is free on Thursday November 29 and is Dhs315 on the other two days. A season pass is Dhs525, and if you have kids under 12 they'll get in free all weekend, too. There are also plenty of activities to keep kids entertained including circus workshops, bouncy castles, face painting and more.
The tournament itself consists of matches with seven players on each side – compared to 15 in rugby union. Games are played in two seven-minute halves, too, compared to a standard 40-minute rugby union match, so even if you're not a huge fan, the matches are easy to watch. The Dubai tournament is part of the World Rugby HSBC Sevens Series, which is made up of ten tournaments played around the world, including in Canada and Hong Kong. Last year's series champions were South Africa, with England the runners up. South Africa also won the Dubai 2017 tournament, beating New Zealand 24-12. Twenty-eight teams will compete this year –15 men's core sides and 11 women's core sides – with Zimbabwe's men and Kenya's women as the invitational teams. Expect some fierce competition.
It's time to dig out the unicorn outfit/giant teddy bear suit/Superman costume – one of the most important aspects of the weekend is the creative fancy dress. Thousands of people make a massive effort to dress up, so it's time to start planning that costume.
Come hungry as there are loads of top places to eat at the event. There will be outlets from longstanding Irish bar Fibber Magee's, US burger joint Black Tap, healthy eatery Lime Tree Café and everyone's favourite Italian chain – PizzaExpress, among others.
If you drive there are 12,000 parking spaces. Getting home isn't a bother either, as loads of taxis are ready to go, plus you can hop aboard a Big Bus Tour, which will stop at various locations across the city. Lock, Stock & Barrel is even laying on free buses back to the bar in Barsha Heights to carry on the party.
Free (Thu Nov 29), Dhs315 (general admission), Dhs525 (season pass). Thu Nov 29-Sat Dec 1. Daily 7.30am-10pm. The Sevens Stadium Dubai, Dubai-Al Ain Road, www.dubairugby7s.com (04 321 0008).

Whose fort is it anyway?
No matter who decides to adopt it, the Red Fort needs to be restored — to the people. Subsequent acts over the past decades in the name of conservation have reduced the historic value of the fort.

Private firm still to firm up plans, ASI moves in to restore Red Fort

What does the recent controversy over the proposal for a private organisation to partner in the conservation of the Red Fort mean? Is it justified? Would there have been as much noise about any other monument? After all, there have been public-private partnerships in other sites of which the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is the official custodian. To come to any reasonable conclusion about these questions, it is necessary to understand the story of the Red Fort, and why this story is both different from, and also similar to, other monuments.
The first thing to realise is that the Red Fort encompasses within itself not one, but many stories. Some of these have gained centrestage, such as the one which links the Red Fort with our independence movement. The first prime minister of free India started the tradition of Independence Day speeches from the ramparts of the fort. His decision to come here after the formal declaration of Independence at Parliament Hall on August 15, 1947, overturned the schedule of the official Independence Parade to be held on Kingsway (Rajpath) on the lines of the Victory Parade that had been held after the Second World War. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was probably influenced by the multitude of associations of the fort — the "Dilli Chalo" slogan of Subhash Chandra Bose, the Indian National Army, the siege and defence of Delhi in 1857, and his own involvement in the trial of nationalists here by the British after World War II.
This story is extremely important, but we cannot stop at it. Neither can we tell it appropriately, unless we realise why, in the first place, the fort is such a potent symbol of our identity as an independent nation. Indeed, the wall in front of the Lahori Gate, routinely printed on the front pages of our newspapers every August 15, blocks our view of the fort's interiors, and is the very opposite of its original appearance. It is literally "a veil upon the face of the fort", as the ailing Shah Jahan, imprisoned at the Agra Fort, wrote in a letter to his son, Aurangzeb, on whose orders this wall was constructed.
Metaphorically, too, when we narrow our vision to just this image of the fort or to one event in its history, we fail to see its pivotal story — the value of its original form and use. All we know about this part of the story is that the Red Fort was established during the time of the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan. We are not told that it was built with the active involvement of an array of craftspeople, whose tremendous technical skill was integral to its conception and creation. That they did not just implement instructions but were also collaborators in a project that brought together people from all over the Mughal Empire. That they worked in a decentralised way — an extension of the Indian way of life. Court histories record that in the inauguration "artisans of wondrous talent and magical skill" were publicly honoured by Shah Jahan in the Diwan-i-Aam. The Red Fort's design and construction represents not just the sense and sensibilities of its patron, but also those of all the people who worked on it. All of them, in a sense, were its custodians.
Not just a Mughal palace
Since we do not know all this, it is scarcely surprising that we fail to appreciate how beautiful its proportions were, comparable to those we still see at the Taj Mahal. Or how perfectly the fort was planned, so that its construction along with its contemporary city of Shahjahanabad was accomplished in just 10 years. Or how their fame rivalled that of Isfahan, established in Persia by the Safavid emperor, Shah Abbas. Or that 200 years after being visited by artists, ambassadors, imitators and invaders from all over the world, the pioneering British historian, James Fergusson, came upon the remnants of the fort and termed it "The Most Magnificent Palace in the East—perhaps in the World" in his monumental History of Eastern and Indian Architecture (1910).
Express Explained | Corporates and heritage: dos and don'ts
Restoration in progress at the Red Fort. (Express photo by Praveen Khanna)
But the Red Fort was much more than just a palace. This multifaceted complex was the urban focus of Shahjahanabad, the first and last resort for the residents of the entire empire, its administrative and political core, a centre of the highest levels of art and music. It was a miniature city — with imperial pavilions, gardens, audience halls, karkhanas, markets, attendants' houses, stables, quarters for the Mughal army. Fergusson himself compared it to the Escorial near Madrid, one of the few renaissance royal palaces built on the scale of a small city, which was still a fraction of the Red Fort. To put this in today's context, the fort optimised space in an incredibly efficient way to combine within it the range of activities now carried out in the Rashtrapati Bhavan, North and South Blocks, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, cantonment, Mandi House, Crafts Museum, etc. It cannot, thus, be seen as just any fort or merely branded as "Mughal". It exemplifies the Indian way of life and design, which it further evolved to even greater refinement, inspiring art and architecture within and beyond the subcontinent.
The Missing Stories
It is difficult to read these stories of the Red Fort today. There are literally big chunks of the fort missing — the result of a radical transformation 160 years ago, during and after the Revolt of 1857. As the seat of Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, it was the focus of 1857. In the battles between the Indians and the British, many sections of the fort were damaged. After the British victory, there was wholesale plunder of its precious stone inlay, carved marble panels, gilded copper domes, artefacts and art. In 1860, orders were passed to demolish everything within the distance of 500 yards around the fort, and more than 85 per cent of its internal buildings, courtyards and gardens. Barracks for the British army were constructed on the cleared areas after "this fearful piece of Vandalism", as Fergusson put it. Instead of accommodating different kinds of people within the fort, only one use was made of it — that of a British garrison, insulated from and barred to Indians.
So, what we see today are the very few Mughal structures that escaped this demolition. They have lived through years of desecration; used by the British as prisons, canteens, hospitals, mess rooms, ammunition depots. From the early 20th century, they also went through cycles of restoration that began with their presentation as showpieces to British royalty such as King George V, who visited Delhi in 1911 for the Coronation Durbar.
Why is it that most of us who visit the fort do not know this? It is because we are not given any clues about this part of the story. To unearth these clues on our own is difficult. We would need to piece together available fragments from many different sources — official court chronicles, miniatures, archival paintings, travelogues, photographs, drawings, etc., and, most importantly, the few Mughal buildings that still exist in the fort. That is what I began to do 20 years ago.
It was only then that I could visualise the fort's original form and function. I realised how imperative it is that each part of what exists of this unique design — mere shadows as they are of their former selves — still has immeasurable value and has to be looked after with the greatest thought and care. And how imperative it is to give sufficient information at site, to involve visitors in all the facets of all the fort's stories. For this, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of its historical layers, as well as its defining attributes, so that we do not destroy them in however well-meaning a way. This, in essence, is what I had also communicated to the ASI in my role as their conservation consultant in 2000. Their reluctance to even read my recommendations led to my decision to resign from this role.
Express Opinion | Will Red Fort Become Dalmia Red Fort?
A Colonial Model
Subsequent acts over the past decades in the name of conservation have reduced the historic value of the fort. The Indian army, which occupied part of the fort after independence, has been asked to move out, ostensibly to ensure better conservation. There may have been some efforts towards this, but from what is visible, it appears that the fort's maintenance has gone from bad to worse. Rare remnants of its original proportions have been effaced. Conjectural and ill-advised interventions above and below ground have been inserted. Finely worked remains of craftsmanship in the imperial pavilions have been replaced by crude restoration. Entrance to these fragile and rare buildings has been blocked by barriers of untidy ropes, rusted pipes propped up against stairs, taciturn and impatient guards.

The ASI, following the colonial model of keeping the natives out, remains tightlipped about its plans to conserve the fort. This is ironical, given the fort's symbolic value as a national icon of independence. The insistence on viewing the fort as a monument with no real interaction with people is no different from its use by the British as their garrison. People are not just kept out literally from parts of the fort, but also from its decision-making process. This is why we can only react retrospectively every time a disaster strikes it. One such time in the fort's recent history was when a public interest litigation was filed in 2003 to protect it against further degradation. It was only after part of the renovation work by the ASI was already done, that it came to the notice of art curator Rajeev Sethi and others. He and other petitioners were able to demonstrate the inappropriateness of this work, through a historical record of the fort prior to this intervention. Though they were successful in obtaining a decision to review and direct to some extent the fort's future conservation, there has been no real change in how it is viewed or interpreted.
Express Editorial | Heritage at stake
I would argue that it is not enough to form more committees and authorities or promulgate ever-more rules and policies. Seventy years after independence is enough time to stop regarding our monuments as fiefdoms of either official or private bodies. We need a fundamental change in attitude to evaluate what should be the objectives of the custodianship of our heritage. Should we still be seeking ratification for our past from elsewhere in the world? Should we be trying to get "World Heritage" tags, or concentrating our efforts to make our heritage relevant to our own people? Is it enough to involve only professionals within these domains, whose "disabling effect", as the Austrian philosopher Ivan Illich terms it, works on a principle of exclusion and monopoly? Should we not let citizens have a say in the planning of our cities, whether related to monuments, roads, or infrastructure?
What would such a process have meant for the fort? It means we could have guided through appropriate conservation norms, the continued presence of the Indian army to keep alive one of the historical uses of the fort, and to contribute to its better security. It means we could have reinstated the ecologically appropriate orchards that originally surrounded it, instead of making swathes of water-guzzling lawns ringed by high metal fences. It means we could have integrated the economic and social well-being of the people living and working around the fort, by including them as skilled guides and representatives of our cultural heritage. It means we could have made it a truly national symbol, with the possibility of engaging resources from any member of our nation, who wished to contribute their money, expertise or ideas. It means we need not have given anybody the freedom to jeopardise its physical and historic presence, whether official custodians or powerful business interests. It means we need to remind ourselves about the pertinence of the question: whose fort is it, anyway?

This is true not just for the fort. Other, less complex sites, which have seen less transformation, will also have many stories, individual and unique to them, even if perhaps not as many as the Red Fort. They will also need to be interpreted and integrated with people around them. I would suggest that the relevant wing of the government, whether it is the Ministry of Tourism or the ASI, share the vision plans that they have accepted from different organisations — not just for the Red Fort, but for all the heritage sites that are planned in the Adopt-a-Heritage Plan. Let these be in the public domain, easily accessed by citizens; let their comments and feedback be sought and considered. Let us take this opportunity to own our right and our responsibility for the custody of our heritage. So far, we have interpreted "custody" — whose dictionary meanings are both "protective care" and "imprisonment" — within meanings that see people as interlopers. We need to now see custodianship as protective care, both for the monuments we profess to conserve, and the people whom we ostensibly conserve them for.

RPD officer injured responding to domestic call
By Randy Gorbman • Oct 4, 2019
Credit Spectrum News
Officials say that a Rochester Police officer was attacked with a knife responding to a domestic call on the northeast side of the city on Friday.
It happened around 11:45 a.m. at 37 Peck Street, not far from Goodman St.
Authorities say that the officer was attacked inside the house by a man in his 20s, and suffered cuts to his face. One shot was fired by the officer, but officials say no one was hit by the bullet.
The suspect was tased, and was taken to Strong Hospital as part of the usual protocol.
RPD officials say that a couple of bystanders in the area apparently helped capture the suspect, but details are still coming in.
The officer, a 23 year veteran of the department who was not named yet, was taken to Rochester General Hospital.
On Friday night, Deputy Chief Mark Mura said that the injured officer has had successful surgery and is currently listed in serious but stable condition. He suffered multiple stab wounds during the attack.
The man accused of stabbing him is in Strong Memorial Hospital. There's no word yet on charges.
Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren issued this statement on Friday:
"Today's news reminds us of the bravery and dedication of the men and women of our Rochester Police Department. I ask all those of faith to pray for the Officer's recovery and well-being. The residents who intervened deserve our gratitude and their actions speak to the true spirit of our city."
A City Hall spokesman says that the mayor was returning from a conference in Washington, DC, and planned to visit the officer in the hospital on Friday evening.
The Rochester Police Locust Club, which is the police union, issued this statement:
"Our Brother officer was attacked today, while doing his difficult and dangerous job of protecting this community. He fought to stay alive and did just that. We are thankful that his Brother and Sisters were able to get to him quickly and drive him to the hospital. Please keep him and all officers, especially those who helped save his life, in your thoughts and prayers."

Westerns On 60's Ways Down
Audie Murphy Seeks 40 Guns To Apache Pass (1967)
Audie Murphy had to scratch for work after being let out of Universal, his kind of westerns not long for an industry leaned toward spaghetti flavoring a genre gone flat. Murphy was fed up with saddling, but needed cash. He'd like to have done other sorts of projects, developed a few, but with no takers toward financing. Don Graham's fine AM bio says the faded star got a mere $50K to do 40 Guns To Apache Pass for producing Edward Small, one of four they teamed on with budgets of $400K each. Small by this time may have figured his output had more value on television, that being where these likely broke even or took modest gain. Director William Witney got his 40 Guns crew out to rocks where I guess he'd been innumerable times for westerns near identical to this one. Witney was thirty years at the game by now, time enough to fill an ocean with actioners. The fact of some being a best in their class still awaits proper recognition, and though 40 Guns isn't that, it still plays efficient and more so if seen at proper 1.85. 40 Guns To Apache Pass was essentially an old western newly made, last roundup for hands long calloused by outdoor work. What became of so many men who saw their way of life and living suddenly put aside? We'd sit through films like 40 Guns To Apache Pass at the Liberty, impatient for them to end for horror or sci-fi to follow. Someone might have whispered, a la Rhett Butler, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to see them go if I were you ...

Over the years I have had to defend Audie Murphy, and his films, to friends, family and the cinema elite. Putting my hero worship aside, I thought Audie did a fine job when given the right script with a proper director. His two films with John Huston ("The Unforgiven" and "The Red Badge of Courage"), Joseph Mankiewicz ("The Quiet American"), Jack Arnold ("No Name on the Bullet") and some of his Jesse Hibbs output ("To Hell and Back") being among my favorite Audie performances. Unfortunately "40 Guns to Apache Pass" (his last starring role ) followed a failed attempt at a Euro-western, "The Texican" and ended a 7 year string of poor to mediocre efforts. I wondered this am, as I do every morning, what Greenbriar had in store. And on yet another birthday I was pleasantly surprised to find an Audie Murphy posting.
Love Audie Murphy. Sadly, his name is fading away like an Eastman color film print. Today's kids have no knowledge of who Audie was, which is a shame, considering what he did. And I speak not of making movies.

Jeff Arnold also picked an Audie Murphy western to review today. But his choice, 'Sierra,' is from much earlier in Murphy's career. http://jeffarnoldblog.blogspot.com/2018/07/sierra-universal-1950.html
Don Siegel apparently toyed with casting him as Scorpio in Dirty Harry. Don't think it was serious, but his death ended the chance. He could've been more terrifying than Andy Robinson's histrionics.

A California woman has been arrested for committing the most incomprehensible crime of all: killing her three young children. Carol Coronado was found naked and holding a knife in her bed, alongside the dead bodies of her kids -- aged 3, 2, and 2 months old. The 30-year-old had reportedly tried to slit her wrists, but her suicide attempt was unsuccessful. When tragedies like these take place, one of our first questions is: where were the people in Carol's life who are there for her, like her husband or mother? And the answer in this case is shocking: they were right there at home.
Carol's mother was actually the one who found her daughter in bed with her grandchildren. A neighbor reported that grandma confided in her that Carol had called her earlier that day and told her she thought she was going crazy. It isn't clear whether Carol's mom was visiting because of the alarming call she received or if she was there for some other purpose.
The children's father, Rodolfo Coronado, was reportedly outside working on his car across the street from their home when the fatal stabbing took place. A neighbor says he was crying when police escorted him outside of the home and shouting, "She killed my daughters!"
Carol was arrested on suspicion of murder and was taken to a hospital to be examined before her booking. She hasn't commented on the murders and no one is sure what could have motivated her to take her babies' lives. Her Facebook page looks no different from that of any other dedicated and loving mom -- it's filled with photos of her children and even a sonogram image taken when she was pregnant with her 2-month-old.
This is so unbelievably sad and I can't imagine what dad and grandma must feel like right now. Our thoughts are with everyone suffering from this horrendous loss.
Is there anything we can do to help mothers whom we suspect may hurt their children?

Q: Regex pattern to exclude numbers and special characters in a string Regex pattern to exclude numbers and special characters in a string.
I need to exclude numbers and special characters in the below string.

A service with name "11.KGGS.003022..CBCL.." is already active between
  Mon Apr 17 00:00:00 2017 and Thu Dec 30 00:00:00 9999.

i need to use the pattern in tableau and regex[^0-9] is not working in it.
Kindly help me out.

A: you can use replaceAll like so :
str = str.replaceAll("[0-9!@#$%^&*()_+\\-=\\[\\]{};':\"\\\\|,.<>\\/?]", "");

Output
A service with name KGGSCBCL is already active between Mon Apr    and Thu Dec

I'm not sure if the space consider like a special character or not, if yes you can use this instead :
str = str.replaceAll("[0-9!@#$%^&*()_+\\-=\\[\\]{};':\"\\\\|,.<>\\/?\\s\\n]", "");
//------------------------------------------------Space and back line ^--^

Output
AservicewithnameKGGSCBCLisalreadynactivebetweenMonAprandThuDec

In case you want to make only one space between each word you can use this :
str = str.replaceAll("[0-9!@#$%^&*()_+\\-=\\[\\]{};':\"\\\\|,.<>\\/?]", "").
        replaceAll("\\s+", " ");
//------------------^^^^----^---------replace multiple spaces with only one

Output
A service with name KGGSCBCL is already nactive between Mon Apr and Thu Dec

Solution 2 :
exclude numbers and special characters the rest should be only the alphabetic [a-zA-Z], so you can use also this :
str = str.replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z]", "");
