| Chow Takes Bite Out of Local Dog Activist
The founder of the Tipton-based international activist group Dogs Deserve Better has found herself in some more legal trouble after being attacked by one of her own dogs.
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture says 42-year-old Tammy Grimes was attacked by a 75-pound black chow in her kitchen Wednesday morning. Grimes was bitten in three different places and the seriousness of wounds required her to be taken to the Altoona Regional Health System by ambulance.
Grimes told investigators that a dispute over food led to the attack. The dog was taken to the Central Pennsylvania Human Society, where it was euthanized Thursday. Dog law enforcement officials were called to investigate the attack, and later cited Grimes because the dog was not licensed. Agriculture officials are investigating whether or not more dogs living in Grime's care are unlicensed.
Inside Entrepreneurship: Starting a business is like scaling steep ...
Q: My wife and I want to franchise a food business that "just hasn't been done." It is sure to explode nationwide, if not worldwide. We really just want to develop it, prove it, attract a few dozen franchise investors and sell out. I believe we could make millions in a few short years. Do you have any advice on how to proceed from here? -- R. and R. Sims, Jacksonville, Fla. A: I've always found a lot of similarities between entrepreneurs and mountain climbers. Both wake up each day eager to explore unpredictable terrain. Pioneering mountain climber George Mallory, who may have summited Mount Everest before Edmond Hillary, once described his climbing struggles as sheer joy. He said it was these daunting adventures that allowed him to enjoy life fully.
Up the food chain
SUBODH Gupta is the new age dabbawala. His tiffin carriers arrive on a sushi conveyer belt. However dont get caught up in the literal, since Gupta urges you to look for the metaphor in his latest exhibition, Stop Start at the Bodhi Art Gallery that premiered on March 1. In this piece I am talking about globalisation: The migration of culture through the medium of food. The work is titled Fate Matters, says Gupta sipping on a cup of chai, with less sugar of course. .
Maple bacon doughnut no help in a marathon
Mmmm bacon. Goes well with just about anything, doesn't it. One of the sweetest bacon applications I've heard about is the maple bacon doughnut offered by Portland's world famous Voodoo Doughnut shop. I've never actually tried one of these babies - essentially maple logs with slices of bacon adhered to the top - but you just know it's got to be good. Also, fyi, Voodoo serves apple fritters as big as your head, and the management performs weddings and offers Swahili lessons on Monday nights. As excited as I am about bacon, I'm not so pumped about gourmet bacon. This includes extra-thick bacon or anything covered in pepper or smoked with apple wood. I just can't figure out why they went and messed with such a good thing. They've pulled off the impossible - they've screwed up bacon.

Family and a holy mole sauce is a winning recipe
Recently, Jose Marmolejo, 25, forgot to order the tortillas for Puebla Mexican Food, the takeout and delivery restaurant on First Ave. in the East Village where he has worked with his mother since he was 14. The place consists of a few tables and chairs, a counter to order from and a small kitchen behind the cooler full of American and Mexican sodas. Marmolejos uncharacteristic forgetfulness toward ordering supplies caused a rare rift between mother and son. He made an emergency run to a tortilla factory in Bushwick, Brooklyn, to remedy the situation fast and win his mothers forgiveness.
Marmolejos mother, Irma Marin, 43, was born into poverty in the town of Santana, in the central Mexican state of Puebla that their restaurant is named after. She was one of 12 children.
'Wife Swap' topic of conversation
A Springboro family made the decision to join hundreds of other people who have created acting careers by taking part in Hollywood's reality games.
This time two mothers travel 800 miles to take over the female lead in another family for a short time.
One, a self-proclaimed, proud to be "princess", the other an over-extended mom who barely has time to sleep while taking care of her family.
Right off the bat, the television story explains the father from Springboro, Tim Hamilton does most of the work in the house, allowing his wife and daughter to be pampered; while the mother, Anita Lowe living in the mountains of Pennsylvania, does everything for her family and her pampered husband. The Springboro family plays with rhinestones and feather boas.
