A couple trying to break into society hosted a dinner
party. As the guests were enjoying their soup, the maid
called the hostess from the table. The maid informed
her that the wine had been enjoyed more than anticipated
and a lot earlier than planned. So she jumped in the car
and raced to the liquor store to get more and was in such
 a hurry on the way back that when she drove over the
edge of the curb at the entrance or something near it,
that she didn't even take the time to check what it was.

Just before the maid was supposed to serve the main
course, the maid again called the hostess to the kitchen.
This time she told her that some time in the afternoon the
cat had must have climbed on the kitchen table and eaten
a large portion of the salmon's midsection.

The hostess decided to fill the eaten portion with some
canned salmon and other camouflage. As the guests were
enjoying the fish, the maid called the hostess into the
kitchen again, and announced while wringing her hands,
"Madam, the cat is dead."

The hostess and her husband informed the guests and
suggested it might be best if everyone went to the hospital
and had their stomachs pumped.

Returning home, the couple asked the maid where she
had put the cat. "It is still out on the driveway, where you
ran over it on the way back from the liquor store."

Robber falls on head off van roof after tasered at 
end of police chase, now faces felony charges

An armed robbery suspect fell off the top of a stolen van
after police struck him with a Taser.

Police were first called to the Greenwood Discount Tobacco
store at U.S. 31 and Fry Rd., just south of the Greenwood Park
Mall around 7:30 p.m. Thursday evening.

A worker at the store said the business was robbed at
gunpoint. Police said during the robbery, the clerk was
pistol-whipped and the robbery suspect stole a customer's van.

Police said they located the stolen van and chased it into the
Whispering Trails neighborhood where the suspect drove
through
yards and almost hit other cars and houses.

Police said the chase turned back onto Fry Road where the
driver, later identified as Jameson McCarthy, revealed a gun
to police.

At the intersection of U.S. 31, the suspect hit another
vehicle and then crashed into a pole. McCarthy then climbed
out of the window and onto the roof of the van where he was
confronted by police.

Police shocked McCarthy with a Taser which resulted in a head-
first fall off the van onto the ground below.

McCarthy was treated at Eskenazi Hospital and was then taken
to the Marion County jail on an unrelated charge.

He was charged Friday in Johnson County on these new counts:

1. Robbery Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury Injury to
someone other than a defendant 
2. Robbery Taking property by force or threatening the use of
force while armed 
3. Criminal Confinement while armed with a deadly weapon
4. Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by Serious Violent Felon 
5. Resisting Law Enforcement using a vehicle to commit the
offense

Re: File Types
Dear Webby,
I have a problem telling different files apart because I
usually give them the same name if they belong to the same
project. At one time they used to have different last names
after the decimal point, but with the current version of
Windows those are gone and I can't tell if a file is a picture
or the text describing it. Help!
Brad

Dear Brad
In Explorer click on TOOLS, FOLDER OPTIONS, VIEW
and in there take the checkmark off "Hide extentions of known
file types". Click on APPLY and OK. That will do the trick and
show the extensions again.
Have FUN!

Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes

By lalala... [827 Posts, 105 Comments]



Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
4 Tbsp. butter, melted
3 Tbsp. sugar
For the filling:
2 lbs. cream cheese, room temperature
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
For the raspberry swirl:
6 oz. fresh raspberries
2 tbsp. sugar
OR:
raspberry jam, heated

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Line cupcake pans with paper liners.
Place graham crackers in a large measuring cup and smash with
your hand. (I put a baggie over my hand so that the crackers
wouldn't poke me.) To ensure that all of the crumbs were
small, I poured the crumbs into the baggie and smashed them
more with the glass measuring cup.

In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted
butter, and sugar. Using a fork, stir until well blended and
all the dry ingredients are moistened.

Put 1/2 Tbsp. of the mixture into each cupcake liner. Press
firmly into the bottom. (I used a small medicine cup to evenly
press the crumbs down.)

Bake crusts for 5 minutes. Place on a cooling rack and allow
to cool completely.

To make the filling, place cream cheese in a bowl and beat on
medium-high speed until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until
smooth. Mix in the salt and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time,
mixing well after each addition.

Return the crusts to the muffin tin. Put 1 Tbsp. of filling
into each muffin liner.

To make puree filling: Combine raspberries and sugar in a
blender or food processor. Process until smooth, then pour
through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
To use raspberry jam: Place approx. 1 cup of jam into a
microwave-safe bowl and heat until runny.

Drop 1/2 tsp. of warm jam into the center of each and using a
toothpick swirl the jam into the filling.

Bake 18 minutes, or until filling is set, rotating the pan
halfway through baking. Check frequently at the end of the
cook time and check with a toothpick. They will appear puffed
up at first but will settle down as they cool.

Transfer the cheesecakes to a wire cooling rack and let cool
to room temperature. Transfer them to the refrigerator and
chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
This recipe makes A LOT of mini cheesecakes. You can freeze
them and defrost to serve. Or you can make some minis and a
batch of full-sized cupcake ones too (that's what I did!).

To make cupcake sized cheesecakes:
Prepare the crust mixture and cheesecake mixture using the
same instructions as above.
Use 1 Tbsp. crust mixture for each crust.
Use 3 Tbsp. cheesecake filling per cheesecake.
Use 1 1/2 tsp. jam (dropped in 3 spots) for each cheesecake.
Bake for 32 minutes, or until filling is set, rotating pan
halfway through. Check frequently at the end of cook time and
check with a toothpick.
Servings:approx. 96 minis, 32 full-size
Prep Time:20 Minutes
Cooking Time:approx. 18 Minutes

One Sunday a priest announced he was passing out
minature crosses made of palm leaves. "Put this cross in
the room where your family argues most," he advised.
"When you look at it, the cross will remind you that God
is watching."

When the parishoners were leaving church, a woman
walked up to the priest, shook his hand and said,
"I'll take five."
