Barronelle Stutzman, Christian florist, again appeals to Supreme Court over same-sex wedding refusal - Washington Times

Supreme Court ruled against Barronelle Stutzman in June after the high court previously remanded her case for further review following its decision in a 2018 case, ruling for a Christian baker that had also refused to create a cake for a same-sex wedding. In the baker’s case, the justices said the state’s civil rights commission showed religious hostility towards the cake maker, but the high court punted on squarely settling the First Amendment conflict. The narrow ruling has left a series of cases in the lower courts unresolved, pitting LGBT rights against Christian-owned businesses. Washington’s highest court had ruled against Ms. Stutzman once before, and despite taking a second look at her case, again affirmed judgment against her.

Later in the evening, baker Renea Smith of Cake Crumbs in Southfield discussed ways to save your holiday bakes that go wrong. She suggests taking a cake that maybe didn't go right and crumble it up into a trifle or dehydrate the crumbs for a streusel.  She also suggests getting the kids involved to make cake lollipops using crumbled cake, coating them in melted chocolate and decorating with sprinkles or cookie crumbs. For more tips, she invited the audience to check out the baking classes she hosts at her store. Sign up at cakecrumbsonline.com.  Beverage director Laura Shortt of Ferndale's Valentine Distilling was on hand with a drink idea for the holiday. She madea three-ingredient cocktail using Valentine's sweet and oak-y Liberator Old Tom Gin, house-made cranberry juice and orange and clove liquor.  For the home bartender, she recommends using a mason jar to shake beverages if you don't have a Boston shaker. Those without jiggers can measure with a tablespoon, which equals half an ounce.  In between presenters, Feighan raffled a bottle of Valentine Vodka, books, flower arrangements and other gifts.   The co-owner of Clawson shop Leon & Lulu, Mary Liz Curtin, offered fun ideas for host gifts, holiday presents and other shopping ideas.  "I think everybody should have, for Christmas, some a... https://www.detroitnews.com/story/life/holiday/2019/12/04/homestyle-dish-design-food-drink-decor-gift-ideas/2589696001/

Meet the Florida fans who sent get-well cards to Feleipe Franks - Tampa Bay Times

May. “I didn’t want him to think that.”Neither did Laurie Bonham.?? Will the #Gators beat the brakes off Missouri? Can #FSU clinch a bowl berth? Will #USF slow down Cincinnati??@MBakerTBTimes gives us his picks against the spread in a brand-new Three & Out ????? https://t.co/rFBtzbVrwd pic.twitter.com/3SNikKXxLD— The Identity Tampa Bay (@TheIdentityTB) November 14, 2019“I just felt so bad for him,” said Bonham, a recently retired 64-year-old in Oldsmar.The physical injury was bad enough. But Franks has been a frequent target from fans for most of the past three seasons.One of the lows came last November against Missouri, who hosts the Franks-less Gators this weekend. Franks was booed in the first half and benched in the second of a 38-17 embarrassing home loss to the Tigers. Franks had won every game since then, but Bonham still saw too many people bashing him, despite the improvements he was making in Year 2 under coach Dan Mullen.“His mom was on this web page, and I felt bad for her, too,” Bonham said. “Nobody needed to be doing that. It was just poor manners.”Laurie Bonham (right, seen here with close friend Christy Fraser) was one of the Florida Gators fans who sent get-well cards to injured quarterback Feleipe Franks. [LAURIE BONHAM Special to the Times]Something good came from all the social media chatter: Bonham saw someone post a P.O. box that would collect mail for Franks.Judy Long noticed, too. During her lunch break, the 59-year-old walked from her job at a community bank in Polk County to a Publix down the street to find a card — maybe something with flowers on it.“I’m sure he was down and out,” said Long, a lifelong Florida fan. “A little card like that brightens someone’s day.”Long wrote a note, too, promising to wave at him from the Section 55, Row 4 seats her family has held for almost four decades.Reyce Ramsey went one step farther. With some help from his grandma, the 9-year-old from Kissimmee got a pen and paper and made something to send. He addressed the message to Mr. Felipe Franks #13.One of the best parts of working in UAA Procurement is supervising the mailroom.

They talked for a minute or two outside The Swamp before the Auburn game, and Franks posed for a picture on his scooter.RELATED: College marching bands banding together after multiple fan attacks“It’s pretty awesome, getting to talk to him,” Ramsey said.Hay... https://www.tampabay.com/sports/gators/2019/11/15/meet-the-florida-fans-who-sent-get-well-cards-to-feleipe-franks/

She pointed to a row of coveted Cafe au Lait dahlias.“They’re dinner-plate size, so they’re huge, and they vary in color from ivory to cream to blush, even lavender,” Urick said.Nearby are sweet peas, which loved the cooler weather this season. She plans to save the seeds for future seasons.“It’s really hard to find these seeds,” she explained. “You’d have to go through England, so now we have some American farmers like myself who are saving our own seed and kind of hoping to build that stock up here in the U.S.”The heirloom flowers are kind of old-fashioned, Urick said, but becoming popular again.span clas... http://www.powelltribune.com/stories/flower-farming-passiflora-farm-specializes-in-flowers-from-seed-to-centerpiece,20631
