Domestic violence bill pending in State House

People convicted of physical attack, sexual assault, and other abuse within a family or personal relationship could soon face a much harder road if a new domestic violence bill passes in the South Carolina State Legislature. Introduced in the State House on January 14 by co-sponsors Rep. Sarita Edgerton, R–Spartanburg, District 34, and Rep. Melissa Lackey Oremus, R–Aiken, District 84, this bill is specifically intended to provide a statewide database of individuals convicted of committing two or more acts of criminal domestic violence.

A Southern Take on Sticky Toffee Pudding
When the weather turns cold around here, dessert starts to feel less like an extra and more like a necessity. These are the days when ovens stay on a little longer, ice cream somehow still makes sense, and warm, gooey sweets bring everyone back to the table. Sticky toffee pudding may have British roots, but with a few Southern touches, it feels right at home on a chilly Upstate evening.
