I cover the collision of advertising and the Internet.
We're just hours away from what will certainly be one of the most massive hypefests of the year: the introduction of Apple's newest iPhone. Even without the benefit of Steve Jobs to add that extra touch of
magic reality distortion to the proceedings in San Francisco, the entire tech world will see a plunge in productivity for several hours starting at 10 a.m. Pacific while they watch and chew over the launch of what is all but now confirmed to be called the iPhone 5.
* Update: Catch Forbes' liveblog of the event here. And here's Apple's own announcement.
No doubt Apple will sell a ton of the new iPhones. Indeed, though I find this hard to believe, iPhone sales could even add a big boost to this year's Gross Domestic Product. Diehard Apple fans, and there are millions upon millions of them, won't be able to resist lining up at Apple stores the night before they become available to be among the first to buy the latest and greatest iPhone.
But you shouldn't be one of them. Here's why I think most of you–not all, but most–would be better off not buying the new iPhone:
* It probably won't be revolutionary. I know–blasphemy! The many leaks of what the new one will look like and the way it will work indicate the new iPhone will, of course, be thinner and faster and sport a bigger screen. So what else is new?
And think about the last time. The iPhone 4S had Siri, the voice assistant that was supposed to revolutionize the way we interact with devices and, oh, by the way, kill Google search. It did neither (though ask me again in a few years, as Siri no doubt steadily improves).
Anyway, let's face it, smartphones in their current incarnation may not get much better fundamentally. As Steve Shankland at CNET recently pointed out, we're in an era of incremental refinement more than revolutionary change. At some point, Apple may well come up with yet another product that actually resets the standard for computing and communication devices. But by all reports, the new iPhone isn't that product. Simply put, you don't need to own this phone.
* There's always a risk that something won't work quite right on the new model, leaving you with buyer's remorse. Apple's better than most at avoiding this sort of thing. But remember that faulty antenna in the iPhone 4 two years ago? Update: One word: Maps.
* The older iPhones are still great. Even though some reviewers criticized Apple for touting a machine that didn't provide many advances, such as a larger screen, the iPhone 4S last year still was widely seen as the best iPhone yet, and still the best overall on the market.
* You will get several of the benefits of the new iPhone just by installing iOS 6–for free. No big screen, no fast LTE data, of course–two biggies, to be sure. But you won't be left with lagging services like you do with many Android phones that can't upgrade to the latest OS.
* The older iPhones are also cheap–or free! For one thing, used iPhones are flooding the market as people get ready to buy the new one. Last month, Sprint Nextel and even Apple itself discounted the iPhone 4S, and it doesn't stretch the imagination to think that when the new model appears, prices for older iPhones will fall across the board. When the iPhone 4S came out, the iPhone 4′s price fell to just $100 and the 3G model was (and still is) free with at AT&T contract. If the pattern holds, doesn't a free iPhone 4 sound pretty sweet?
* Update: Yes, it does sound sweet. The new iPhones will cost from $199 to $399 depending on the amount of memory, but the 4S will fall to $99. And the 4? With a two-year contract, it will indeed be free.
* If you go with an older model, you can also save bigtime on service plan costs. If you go with a prepaid carrier such as Virgin Mobile or Cricket, you have to pay more for the phone, but over a couple of years, their lower-cost data plans save hundreds of dollars. It's not clear whether similar deals will be offered with the new iPhone, but it appears unlikely at the outset–so your only way to get those savings is to go with an older model.
* You may have fewer unlimited-data plan options with the new iPhone. Verizon and AT&T have ended their unlimited-data plans, so that's not new. But on existing phones and contracts, they're grandfathered in, a significant reason to think twice about an iPhone purchase that would require you to switch carriers. Sprint may offer an unlimited-data plan, but that means switching carriers if you're not already on it.
Why is it that at every launch of a new Apple product be it iphone or ipad someone has to write an article titled: Why you shouldn't buy the new Apple blah blah blah.
It is getting old.
I can see your argument for someone that may be new to the Apple "eco-system." Why not kick the tires around and work your way up? For the millions of people that have either the 4 or the 4S your theory doesn't hold water. Nobody eligible for an upgrade would pass up the chance at this phone. Why wait another year for version 6? There is always going to be another version. You can bet that next year iphone 4S owners will upgrade at that time. Every time Apple gives away a 3G version to someone they set the hook. Soon they're buying apps and downloading music from Itunes. And once that happens do you want to venture a guess which phone they'll buy next? My money's on Apples newest version!
on the flip side, there are way too many articles overhyping the iphone 5.
"may sell 10 million in 1 week" "may increase USA GDP by 2%".
I just hope people use their brains this time to decide whether to buy the iphone 5 or not.
PSA: Your iphone 4 is perfectly FINE.
It might be getting "old" but it is no less true.
I don't want to get hooked, that's why I don't have the iPhone, I can download music and movies from anywhere including my computer (I have thousands of songs). Tries it on my wife's iPad and it was cumbersome as hell. No thank you, Samsung S II rocks. RThe S III is even better
Simple…it makes for excellent click-bait.
Forbes writers are whores for this type of thing.
We'll see who's proven right after the holiday season, Robert.
Hint: It won't be you.
What a LOAD of BS! I have a Samsung Galaxy S II and I have an iPad and there is NO WAY that the Samsung is easier to use than the iPad! HAHA! I SO WISH THAT WAS TRUE! I get SO PISSED using my Galaxy S II, when people around me using the iPhone do so many things so much EASIER than me! I get tired of people saying that Android is easier or better when I'm USING ONE and I KNOW that is total BS! Motti you are FULL of it! How is it "cumbersome" to download movies and music on an iPad?!?! HAHA! You are so ate up with it. Sorry, don't mean to be a jerk, but that is the truth! I USE AN IPAD, and they are NOT "cumbersome" in any WAY! That's just nonsense. I doubt your wife even HAS an iPad. I can prove I have a Galaxy S II, can you prove your wife has an iPad? Yeahhhhh, right.
Interesting article. It's funny to think that we're almost already at the "era of incremental refinement." I'd say Windows Phone 8 is the most revolution smartphone platform right now, but we'll see what Apple reveals tomorrow when the iPhone 5 is actually unveiled.
Robert, you have exceeded your goal of demonstrating shallow thinking. Apple went from near dead to the largest market cap by giving people superior "USER EXPERIENCE" from sw to hw to support to sales.
To take one of your 'reasons' – buying a used phone, you demonstrate extremely poor insight. The largest cost of any smart phone is the total monthly charges, not the phone sale price. So if you save a few bucks and buy an older phone, you save very little of your TCO but your phone will go obsolete faster. i buy a new phone about every 3 years. so the cost of the phone per month is about $15.
So, I was going to buy 3 iPhone 5 this month , and was going to buy a fender roland ready telecaster next month. So you are saying I should buy the guitar this month, and the 3 iPhones next month?
He's just teasing you guys, go get your new iPhones as soon as you can
Hmmmm….don't avail yourself of the latest and best technology (if you can afford it.)??
Ignore the benefits of 4G over 3G??
Pretend that there isn't something special about the Apple "ecosystem"??
What a joke. I suggest you keep your Startac (was a good phone in the day) and smugly look down upon those who wish to move ahead, while tapping out your next piece on your Commodore 64.
Well played, seattleslew.
Maybe you should be writing tech pieces for Forbes. It would certainly be an improvement.
Maybe … just maybe … there's something wrong (and even a little pathetic) about the drive to always have the latest/greatest, no matter the cost, no matter the missed opportunities to do something meaningful with the resources expended, and independent of any real functional need.

Original recipe yields 14 cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Line 14 muffin cups with paper liners.
- Sift almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose baking flour, and baking powder together in a bowl.
- Cream 1 cup butter with sucanat in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes; mix in ricotta cheese.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating each egg in thoroughly before adding the next one. Gradually beat in almond flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl often. Mix 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon lemon oil into the batter until evenly blended.
- Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.

- Allow cupcakes to cool thoroughly.
- Cut plugs out of the centers of the cupcakes and fill each hole with about 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon curd.
- Beat cream cheese and 1 cup butter in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in confectioners' sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon oil to make a smooth, spreadable frosting. Frost the filled cupcakes.

I was so excited when I found this recipe, I ran right out and bought the ingredients to make it. I wish I could say I was thrilled with the result, but I wasn't. The cupcakes were extremely dense and heavy. And they were not sweet like regular cupcakes. I had never used sucanat before and I recommend anyone who likes sweet cupcakes to use a standard sugar. The curd and frosting were fine, but overall no one in my family liked them very much.
I wasn't really sure about these because of the mixed reviews. I made them once using an all purpose GF baking mix and they were ok. But I could tell they had potential. So I made them again with the baking mix it specifies in the recipe (see notes)- with coconut flour, arrowroot, etc and that made all the difference!! They were absolutely amazing! I am guessing the negative reviews used a different flour blend and then I could see the results being unpredictable. Seriously- make these cupcakes- they are delicious- but use the flour blend they recommend.

oh goodness these are THE BEST Cupcakes EVER. i am going to steal this recipe, use it to open a cupcake restaurant chain, and make millions of dollars. its that great!

Are you feeling so persecuted that you don't think that there is anywhere were straight people can go and feel comfortable holding the hand of their opposite sex partner??
News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Hamburger Mary's planning Bay View restaurant
Plans are in the works to turn a former Omega restaurant in Bay View into a Hamburger Mary's Bar & Grille, an LGBT-friendly chain with roots in San Francisco.
I spoke with franchisee Ashley Wright, who owns the Chicago Hamburger Mary's with his twin brother, Brandon. The Wrights also own the franchise system with Dale Warner of California, who owns the West Hollywood franchise; Julie Slota of Milwaukee is a partner in the Bay View restaurant, Wright said.
Wright said the restaurant, at 2130 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., would open in late summer at the earliest; remodeling plans include installing a bar, making the restrooms ADA-compliant and turning the drive-through into a lanai -- "like the "Golden Girls," Wright said -- for three-season use.
Opening a restaurant in Milwaukee was a natural choice, he said. "We have friends in Milwaukee and come there often," he said. "We like Milwaukee." The city would be the chain's 10th location; other restaurants are on the West Coast, in Florida and in Denver and Kansas City, Mo.
The restaurant would open with a limited menu and gradually expand to around a dozen half-pound burgers, along with appetizers, salads, soups and entrees; brunch would be served on the weekends.
Wright said the restaurant would have evening events: karaoke, bingo, with proceeds going to local charities; and Dinner with the Divas, a drag show during dinner.

Bdgr5 - no one is burning down Hooters and if that place isn't Hetero Friendly I don't know what is.
Are you feeling so persecuted that you don't think that there is anywhere were straight people can go and feel comfortable holding the hand of their opposite sex partner??
Eli, no I don't feel persecuted, but it's funny how society dictates what is and what is not descriminatory. If we create something exclusive to minorities or sexual orientation its accepted with open arms. Try to create a group for white men and see society explode with anger.
Really guys? Come on. LGBT-friendly means they cater to the LGBT community. All restaurants SHOULD be LGBT friendly if they know what's good for business. I always say, the strongest dollar isn't the EURO, it's the gay dollar. Let's be honest, the gay community tends (not always) to have more disposable income, and they spend it in gay friendly businesses. Anyhow, LGBT friendly restaurants are places where LGBT people can feel free to relax and be themselves without fear of the jeering eye of people who may not agree with their lifestyle. Let's not pretend that all restuarants would are created equal and that perhaps a gay person holding another gay person's hand at say a Waukesha county restuarant wouldn't receive a few awkward glances. Just sayin' - I've been to the Chicago Hamburger Mary's and people LGBT or not love it, but they understand that it is a place of acceptance of ALL people :) I like the idea of moving to Milwaukee, but it would be nice if a few more LGBT restuarants would open on or near the bars of 2nd street.
Honestandinformed: Thanks for making the most informed and logical post I have ever seen on these blogs. If only the rest of us were so thoughtful.
But Hamburger Mary's isn't "exclusive," anyone can go. But, it is a place that is openly friendly to LGBT members. Do you find that "discriminatory"?
And, there is no need to create a space where white people can feel at home; that's pretty much the entire US. By contrast, there is a need to create spaces where minorities can feel relaxed without getting dirty looks, or worse. The day hate crimes and discrimination disappear completely, so will the need to create such spaces. Which, for the most part, aren't exclusive and are open to anyone in accordance with local laws requiring equal accommodation.
bdgr5 - there is no such thing as restaurants that are not
hetero friendly...they all are. it IS worth noting that some
restaurants are NOT friendly to gay customers even thought that
is changing now that business owners are realizing that gays
have some of the highest levels of disposable income of any
minority group. and yes gays are a minority group they are
harassed and treated as unequals STILL in the year 2011! Stick
that in your pipe and smoke it.
We own a house in Bay View. We aren't gay. If the food is good, we will support this establishment. Honestly, I don't think most people in Bay View will have an issue with this restaurant. That's why most of us moved to Bay View....it isn't like other neighborhoods...and we like it that way.
More power to them -- the Omega site is an unoccupied eyesore.
Not your cup of tea? Then don't go. There are plenty of other terrific options
nearby...Hue...Pastiche...Transfer....Riviera Maya...and so on.
And suburbanites, don't fret -- the location isn't anywhere near the Circus Parade route or
an Olive Garden.

By J. Daniel Rollins
Register-Herald Sports Writer
How do you replace one of the most dynamic quarterbacks Woodrow Wilson has ever seen?
That's the question Flying Eagles head coach John H. Lilly had to answer when he lost Woodrow's all-time leading passer Andrew Johnson to graduation.
He hopes that solution will be Johnson's understudy in junior Brett Osborne.
"I think we're a little offensively ahead that I thought we would be," Lilly said. "Brent's further along than I thought he would be. He's throwing the ball way better than I thought he would be early in the year, coming out of baseball."
Osborne, like Johnson, is a three-sport athlete who has tasted playoff success, but hasn't been able get over the hump and bring a trophy home to the "City of Champions."
The same could be said for Lilly's last two Flying Eagle football squads, who have bowed out in the first round to eventual champion Martinsburg, losing 49-13 in 2011 and a 39-0 shutout in 2012.
"That's our motto. 'One more step,'" Lilly said. "We're getting in the playoffs and we're being consistent, but we got to take that one more step to get back to where we were a couple years ago in the early 2000s when we were going deep in the playoffs."
Lilly added that the return of a patented "Big Beckley" offensive line will likely help his young quarterback navigate through a tough season.
"I think we've got a lot bigger. We're going back to the big Beckley lines we've had over the years," he added. "We have 6-foot-4, 300-pounders coming back. Our offense has been pretty explosive over the last two years. It's going to be hard to be better. That's a lofty goal, but I think we have potential to be just as good offensively as we've been the last three years."
Since joining the MSAC over a decade ago, Woodrow has faced its share of challenges, mainly coming from an increase in travel and competition.
"We went undefeated in 2000, but we didn't play in this conference," Lilly said of the MSAC. "This is like the SEC in football; each week you're playing a powerhouse. There's no room for a letdown. You've got to have your 'A' game each and every week. That's something we've had to learn and I think we've done a good job with it the last two years."
While the MSAC schedule is demanding for the Flying Eagles, so is their non-conference schedule. In 2013, the Flying Eagles will play longtime rival Greenbrier East, as well as Oak Hill and Hedgesville.
It's a load the 13-year Woodrow coach would like to see lightened in the coming years.
"Ya know, you've got to control your schedule," Lilly said. "We're trying to get away from five-hour road trips. We want more local teams on our schedule. When you're playing Martinsburg and Morgantown, people kind of forget about you. You lose your natural rivals. In the next three years, I'd like to see more local teams."
While Lilly lamented the long road trips for his squad, he refused to comment on the prospect of the Flying Eagles taking on second year Class AAA Shady Spring, which is only 11 miles from Woodrow. Shady will face a long bus trip of its own this season when it wraps up the season in Musselman.
Lilly previously coached the Tigers before taking over the Woodrow Wilson program from longtime coach Pete Culicerto, who retired in 1999. Conversely, Culicerto's son Vince is now the head coach at Shady Spring.
"I'll keep that opinion to myself," Lilly said. "I think everyone knows the answer to that question. And the reason for that is we've got to focus on who we're playing. You can't get caught up in the ones you don't play. Our goal right now is getting ready for Winfield. We'll worry about that other stuff in March and April."
The Flying Eagles will open the season on the road Friday, Aug. 30, against the Generals.

Staff report
Cooperstown Crier
The good news for the Edmeston softball team was a 5-2 victory over Milford in the Tri-Valley League championship game Friday at Oneonta State.
The better news? Winning pitcher Catherine Johnson and batterymate Sarah Lawrence have yet to spend one day in high school.
Lawrence caught a six-hitter by Johnson, who struck out nine and walked two in leading the Panthers to their first Tri-Valley League championship since the program's three-year reign from 2005-07.
"Catherine and Sarah are both eighth-graders, so I knew what I had with them," said first-year Edmeston coach Ken Plows, who spent the last two seasons as the Panthers' modified coach. "I think we're a strong team, but I know we've got some work to do."
Edmeston (17-2) seemed to work pretty well together Friday, jumping to a 4-0 lead after four innings.
Lawrence drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly to center in the bottom of the first inning that plated No. 2 hitter Katlin Talbot. One of seven seniors on the Edmeston roster, Talbot started the rally with a one-out single and advanced to third on another single by freshman Sydney Smith.
Talbot and Lawrence also accounted for the second run in the third inning. Talbot drew a one-out walk from losing pitcher Kaitlin Van Winkler, who gave up an RBI double to Lawrence one out later.
"It was almost the same thing," Plows said. "Sarah actually just missed a home run to left field, maybe by a foot. She tried to stretch that into a triple by not looking at her base coach, but that didn't work. At least she got the RBI."
Johnson helped herself with a leadoff single in the fourth. She took second on a wild pitch before Savanna Fistrowicz walked. Both runners advanced on another wild pitch, setting up senior Michaela Simmons for an RBI groundout to first. Senior Madison Porter later hit an RBI single to stake Edmeston to a 4-0 lead.
Milford finally broke through with a run in the fifth. Mataiah Waters reached base on a comebacker that Johnson misplayed, then took second on a wild pitch. Kaley Chase followed with an RBI single to make it 4-1.
The Panthers restored their four-run cushion in the bottom frame, though. Talbot and Smith hit back-to-back singles and advanced on a groundout by Lawrence. Johnson followed with an RBI groundout as Talbot scored to make it 5-1.
Marina Steele's RBI double in the sixth plated Natasha Skillen, who reached base on a misplayed flyball to third, to cap the scoring.
Steele finished 2-for-3 for the Wildcats, who are seeded sixth for the Section Four Class D Tournament. Milford opens at home against No. 11 Windham of the Delaware League at 4:30 p.m. today.
Talbot (three runs, two stolen bases) and Smith each went 2-for-3 for the Panthers, who are seeded fifth for sectionals. Edmeston also drew a Delaware League opponent as it will host Davenport at 4:30 p.m. today in the first round.
"We have to take one game at a time," said Plows, whose team is on the same side of the brackets as top-seeded Afton of the Midstate Athletic Conference. "Having this many seniors, they're out to do the best they can do. They're all going to be good teams (in sectionals), but if we just do our best, things should turn out well."

---- — The $85 billion federal budget sequestration — a stopgap solution to the federal spending cut impasse between the White House and Democratic allies in Congress and conservative Republicans — will force a temporary and likely brief shutdown sometime after May of NOAA's Northeast regional office, which employs about 200 people in Gloucester's Blackburn Industrial Park.
Globally, NOAA has 12,500 employees, including hundreds involved in weather forecasting.
The furloughs and the dates have not been finalized, said Allison McHale, a special assistant to Northeast Regional Administrator John Bullard. A NOAA source in Gloucester said the likely duration of the furloughs was four days. Who would be furloughed and whether some employees would be bypassed has not been announced, the source said.
"Continued fiscal uncertainty and tight budgets have required that many government agencies, including NOAA, make tough choices," NOAA's director of communications, Ciaran Clayton, said in an email Friday. "Unfortunately, after much serious deliberation, in order to help address current budget shortfalls, we are moving forward with union consultations in order to implement furloughs across the agency,"
"When looking at the budget situation for fiscal 2013, we faced some serious challenges. While we have implemented options to help offset this, including a hiring freeze, unfortunately, furloughs are necessary to help close the gaps," she said. "NOAA has taken steps to ensure that this step will not impact life- and property-saving missions, or any other critical products or services the American public has come to rely upon."
"Agencies are responsible for identifying the employees affected by administrative furloughs based on budget conditions, funding sources, mission priorities (including the need to perform emergency work involving the safety of human life or protection of property), and other mission-related factors," Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank said in a March 8 memo to all employees of the department, which includes NOAA, and its subsidiary the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The layoffs have rippled across components of the federal workforce who are not considered essential for national security or essential domestic services. The cuts are also expected to put much of the White House workforce out of work for an undetermined number of days as the federal government accrues the $85 billion in budget cuts that were programmed by the 122th Congress to leverage a budget agreement last year.
NOAA's Northeast regional office is one of eight regional offices established by the 1976 Magnuson-Stevens Act, which declared a 200-mile wide exclusive economic zone beginning at the three-mile limit of state waters. Along with the Magnuson Act, NOAA's Northeast regional office employees enforce the Endangered Species and Marine Mammal Protection Acts and other federal laws and statutes.
The Gloucester Northeast office's oversight extends from the Canadian border and the transboundry line that delineates the Canadian and U.S. parts of Georges Bank — one of the Altantic's great marine and aquatic nurseries – all the way south to the Carolinas.
"Nothing has been approved," said McHale Friday. "The furloughs will not happen until after May."
Blank said in her memo that at least 30 days notice would be given before employees are furloughed. She said the agency needed to pare 5 percent of its budget to comply with the sequestration directive.
The chairwoman of the Senate Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, said NOAA's announcement of imminent furloughs is the latest example as to "why sequester is bad policy.
"These furloughs are a real consequence of sequester that puts family livelihoods into jeopardy for over 12,200 people who work hard every day to issue severe weather warnings quickly, map safe maritime waterways, and protect our fishery economies," Mikulski said. "I am especially concerned that these furloughs will start in June at the beginning of hurricane season and the onset of strong summer storms. America has experienced several severe weather events in recent years and scientists suggest that severe weather will continue.
"We owe it to our communities to have a weather service that is ready for duty," she said, "from the coastal states that depend on accurate hurricane forecasts to the interior states that depend on timely tornado warnings."

Comments about Crown X4000 Stereo 2x1350W Power Amp:
I ordered this amp impulsively through the 'Deal of the Day' which I keep my eye on regularly. I had heard whisper of the new Crown line but hadn't seen any reviews yet. I did my homework and after realizing its limitations and its abilities, I took a risk at such a great price and purchased it. I contacted Crown and spoke to a tech there about this range. He advised me it was 'old school' technology, a little heavy but solid in its abilities. Today, I set it up through my PA and did a direct comparison between the Crown X4000 and my Crown XTI4002. Firstly, I expected to hear a slight difference in sound quality. Not so, any difference was inaudible to me. Secondly, I figured that although the XTI is rated at 650w into 8 ohms and the X4000 is rated at 1000w, in terms of volume, this should not make that much difference ( double the volume requires 10 x power). Again I was shocked to find that the X4000 was noticeably louder at the same gain setting. Overall, this is a great sounding amp even though it is a little heavy especially compared to my XTI and XLS amps. Also note it has no DSP so if you use a DRPA or similar like me, you won't need it. I would like to have seen a limiter built into the amp but as I set my volumes carefully, I am always watching for clipping and I can set my limiters in my DRPA, it should be fine. Bridging is available but only at 8 ohms. Again, this suits me. Impulse buy worked out !!!

Original recipe yields 12 rolls
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease the bottoms and sides of a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Cream 1/3 cup butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Drop 1 teaspoon into each muffin cup. Reserve the remaining mixture.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter until crumbly. Make a well in center, and pour in the milk. Stir to form a soft dough, adding a bit more milk if needed.
- Turn the dough out on lightly floured surface. Knead 8 to 10 times. Pat dough into rectangle about 1/3 inch thick and 12 inches long. Spread the remaining cinnamon mixture over dough rectangle. Sprinkle currants over top. Roll up like a jelly roll into a long log. Mark the dough first, to make sure you know where to cut, then cut the log into 12 slices. Place cut-side down in the prepared muffin pan.
- Bake in in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn rolls out on a serving tray.
- For the glaze, add milk to the confectioners' sugar and stir well, adding more liquid if necessary to make a thin glaze. Drizzle over cinnamon rolls.

These were excellent... as close to a yeast dough recipe as you can get without using yeast. I did find the butter/sugar in the tins got more crispy-carmelized than get syrupy-gooey (which was fine by me!)... but if you wanted it gooey, you could set aside half the mixture for the roll filling, and then add some melted butter to the rest of it until it was more syrupy than pasty in consistancy. Note: either way, remove from pan while still warm, else bring a chisel!
Oh, my. These are incredible! I made them almost as is with a couple of modifications. I couldn't find my raisins, so I used craisins, and converted the icing to a cream cheese icing by adding 2-3 tablespoons cream cheese, an extra tablespoon of milk, and a couple of tablespoons of butter. FANTASTIC. Tasted like the Hardee's biscuit cinnamon rolls. I gave them a 10, my husband gave them a 7 (he prefers the cinnabon type yeast roll). Thanks for a great recipe!
This recipe surprised me- at first when I saw they were non-yeast rolls I thought for sure the cinnamon rolls wouldn't be that great, but I wanted fresh cinnamon rolls in a "jiffy", so I tried the recipe. It turned out GREAT! They were delicious and just as good as yeast rolls. However, I added more cinnamon mixture to make the buns "gooier".Mmmm...

Our courses are intense, academically rigorous, and interdisciplinary in design, such that they are suitable for students of all backgrounds and majors. We believe that today's environmental and conservation issues will take complex, integrated, global approaches that will transcend international boundaries.
Studying environments and cultures far from our home not only sharpens our own knowledge and priorities, but also introduces different views, different values, and different approaches. We run programs in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Vietnam and the Indian Himalaya because they are ideal and unique places to study conservation and the sustainable management of natural resources. They each have amazing ecological diversity and complexity, vibrant indigenous & modern cultures, and challenging issues of economic, social, and ecological sustainability. These places are also stunningly beautiful, offering outstanding opportunities for outdoor and adventure experiences, with friendly and welcoming locals.

DENVER (AP) -- A half dozen wildfires have erupted amid dry, windy weather in Colorado, and one has prompted evacuations after spreading to at least 200 acres.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or structures burned by any of Monday's fires.
Authorities say the 200-acre fire is in the mountains west of Denver. The Jefferson County sheriff's office says 374 homes are being evacuated.
The other fires are in the central and northern Colorado mountains, and in northeast Colorado. Billows of smoke are visible from downtown Denver.
One fire was burning on Lookout Mountain west of Denver, where homes dot the forest along a steep, winding road with spectacular views.
The Colorado Department of Emergency Management says small grass fires are burning in northeast Colorado's Morgan, Logan and Weld counties.

If it were possible to transform the ripped muscular appearance of a bodybuilder into the form of a motorcycle, it would result in the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide. For 2009, the Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) division of Harley-Davidson has upgraded the standard Road Glide bike into a beast for the streets.
The heart of the 2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide is the Screamin Eagle engine. Boasting a 1100 cc displacement and a top speed of 130 miles per hour, the Screamin Eagle is the most power engine produced by the most iconic American motorcycle manufacturer, and can be found only on CVO machines. The V-Twin air-cooled muscle machine features the Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), and produces 115 lb-ft of torque at 4000 revolutions per minute (RPM). Power is smooth and accessible, thanks to the electronic throttle control and a heavy-duty, self-adjusting clutch with hydraulic actuation. CVO has made this engine just as beautiful as it is powerful with the granite powder coat with chrome covers, new air cleaner, and a custom air cooler with the CVO logo.
The chrome 2-1-2 exhaust header pipe design, with four-inch touring mufflers and chrome end caps, gives off a loud, commanding report and style for the boulevard, while at the same time directing the heated gases away from the rider's legs, thereby making time in the cockpit very comfortable. The six-gallon fuel tank gives the bike a surprisingly long range, thanks to the 47 mpg highway and 32 mpg city. The CVO Road Glide regulates power to the road via the smooth and precise 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. The bumps in the road are further smoothed out by the Touring exclusive air adjustable rear suspension, making time in the saddle a pleasure, whether you find yourself on the busy city streets, or on the open road.
Rider comfort begins with a new low-profile, two-up seat with Buffalo inserts, and a matching passenger backrest. The new frame increases passenger leg room behind the calves by about 5/8 inch. The chrome internally wired handlebars set the rider at normal Touring posture. The instrument panel features custom spun aluminum metal-faced electronic speedometer and tachometer with backlighting, while auxiliary gauges receive the same treatment. Standard equipment includes cruise control, and two-speaker AM/FM/WB/CD/MP3 Advanced Audio System by Harman/Kardon. The overall stance of the bike is lowered, aerodynamic, and aggressive. The fairings, the extensive chrome found from front to rear, and the lowered injection-molded GTX saddlebags give the CVO Road Glide practicality, style, and plenty of highway performance.
The 2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide comes standard with stylish 18-inch Blade wheels wrapped in Dunlop 407 front and rear rubber tires. Braking duties are handled masterfully, thanks to Brembo ABS (anti-lock brake) hardware front and rear with four-piston front calipers. The bike also features chrome screens, a CVO emblem, and four-piston calipers in the rear.
The 2009 CVO Road Glide is available in three color combinations: Yellow Pearl with Charcoal Slate, Stardust Silver with Titanium Dust, and Electric Orange with Vivid Black. A security system with smart siren, a CVO indoor cover, and unique Harley-Davidson CVO gold ignition key with display box are all included.

Chocolate Doughnut Hot Chocolate (Did She Really Do That?)
I saw a recipe in our local newspaper during the holidays for Chocolate Doughnut Hot Chocolate. It was featured in a syndicated article that came from Associated Press Food Editor J.M. Hirsch. The recipe called for a whole doughnut to be blended in with the usual hot chocolate ingredients. I immediately thought, "Now that is ridiculous!" Just as quickly, my initial thought was replaced by, "Oh my gosh, I must have that. Now!" Not having made gluten-free doughnuts yet and not planning on purchasing ready-made gluten-free doughnuts, I had to come up with a version that would give me the taste of a doughnut without the actual doughnut. So I did, or at least I think I did.
My Chocolate "Doughnut" Hot Chocolate is very good. Plus, it is gluten free, dairy free, and more—all those things that I'm going for these days—but everything else is here … the cinnamon-sugar factor that I associate with doughnuts (more often than the glazed factor), the comfort food taste of the "fat" that one gets from doughnuts (although just a tad of healthy fat in my recipe), and the richness that a Chocolate Doughnut Hot Chocolate clearly must have. Now, honestly, I have no idea if this hot chocolate tastes like the original Chocolate Doughnut Hot Chocolate or even if it tastes like it would if I'd used an actual gluten-free chocolate, glazed, or cinnamon-sugar doughnut versus my simple concoction, I just know this hot chocolate is a thick, rich, bittersweet chocolate mixture that I like. It was an especially lovely treat this morning after a walk with Sonny (our collie) in what was left of last night's snow! Be sure to scroll down below the recipe to get the links for 10 more delicious warming beverages.
Chocolate "Doughnut" Hot Chocolate
(Click here for a printable version of this recipe.)
1 tbsp almond flour
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 cups almond milk
¼ cup raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
¼ cup coconut sugar or palm sugar (or granulated sugar)
½ tsp ground cinnamon, optional
1/3 cup chocolate chips (I used these mini chocolate chips)
Pinch sea salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix almond flour, coconut flour, and coconut oil on baking sheet. Place in oven. Cook for about two to three minutes, stirring about every minute. (This step can also be done in a small skillet over medium to medium-high heat for about the same amount of time.)
In your blender pitcher, add almond milk, raw cacao powder, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and your "doughnut" mixture. Blend on high spend until smooth, about a minute or so.
Transfer mixture to medium-sized saucepan. Heat over medium heat whisking mixture fairly often until it thickens and foams, about 4 minutes.
Add chocolate chips and salt, whisking again until chocolate chips are incorporated (melted chocolate will no longer appear on the whisk). Pour into mugs and serve immediately.
Makes about 2 servings.
Inspired by J.M. Hirsch's recipe
Shirley's Notes: If you really like cinnamon in your hot chocolate, you can skip the ground cinnamon and/or add a cinnamon stick to your mug. I decided the latter was a bit too much cinnamon for me and my Red Ape Cinnamon Stick from Nu Naturals was a wee bit short for my mug as you can see in my photo below. (Incidentally, please stay tuned for some news from Nu Naturals in the next day or so.) I love that this hot chocolate stays thick and "foamy" as it cools, too!

This sounds amazing!! I'm going to have to make some now =) thanks!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:04 am
Hi Moriah–Thanks! I hope you enjoy it. Made fresh, I love this recipe. I chilled the leftovers and reheated and it wasn't foamy or as good as my initial tasting, but I didn't spend any time whisking it, so that might have helped.
oh.my.gosh, incredible! I am so craving hot chocolate and snow right now! And donuts (doughnuts?) Thanks, Shirley, I am going to check out some of the other links too! Have a great day!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:05 am
Hey Jane–I can't help you with the snow, but happy to help with this hot chocolate. I hope you enjoyed the other links as well. Some variety there, but lots of hot cocoa love, too.
This looks fun. And definitely healthier than the one with a donut in it
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:08 am
Hey Shannon–I can't even imagine the bad stuff in that original recipe. I think the doughnuts you get out are filled with lots of stuff that we don't want. I'm not saying that this one is the same in taste/texture/decadence, but it worked for me.
Holy wow! The kiddo is going to kiss your feet. For reals. It's even supposed to snow tomorrow. Perfect hot chocolate weather!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:09 am
Hi Deanna–Haha! Snow and hot chocolate definitely go together! Hope you both enjoy this, or some Mommy Bowl variation … Oh, and I'm still thinking about that Chocolate Bananas Foster ice cream. YUM!
First off, I want that blue mug! I have a mug addiction and that one is beautiful. Hot chocolate is a favorite treat of mine. It never dawned on me to put flour in it. Interesting! I will definitely give that a try. It's been snowing here (finally) off and on lately, so it's perfect weather for hot chocolate. =)
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:12 am
Hi Melissa–I adore that mug myself. I got that at the Polish Pottery spot in Pike Place Market when Diane, Wendy, and I were shopping upon our arrival for IFBC when we all met up year before last.
Well, just remember that almond flour and coconut flour aren't the usual flours … ground nuts and coconut meat really. Now it seems more logical, right?
Snow and hot chocolate/cocoa definitely go together–enjoy! xo,
Looks like you did a great job creating that one, Shirley. I think I would have done the same thing–come up with a way to recreate the idea without using an actual doughnut. I'm glad you did the work for me. It looks delicious!
We didn't get any snow here. I was so disappointed.
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:15 am
Hi Linda–Thanks! I do think that when I make doughnuts (or doughnut holes) one day I will save one to do better justice to the original recipe. It will be interesting to compare the two recipes. Who knows? I might deem this one totally unworthy then.
I was happy we got our little bit of snow, but it definitely did not stick around. I think our chances of more are pretty slim now.
WOW, this looks incredible! I am going through a real phase of hot chocolate at the moment – perfect for these cold winter evenings – looks scrummy! x
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:29 am
Hi Sarah–It looks like you are new to gfe, and your site is new to me–welcome! There is definitely such a thin as hot chocolate phases, isn't there? I know I go through them. Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy this recipe if you give it a try!
Must try and will report back!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:29 am
Hi Cheryl–I'll be worried until then.
So cool! Well done Shirley, I was anxious to see how you replaced that donut angle. Great mix of ingredients. I think I'm going to have to give this one a try. Who wouldn't love a donut in their hot chocolate?
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:31 am
Hi Maggie–One day I will actually try the version with a gluten-free doughnut ground up, but until then, I'm happy with this one. Hope you enjoy it if you try it, or perhaps the "real deal"? Trying to remember if you have made gluten-free doughnuts before …
Oh Wow! That really sounds like something I need make. I'm always excited to try a new chocolate recipe.
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:34 am
Heather–There are a lot of us chocolate lovers! Some days I think that as long as I throw a fair amount of chocolate in my recipe, I can't go wrong. Thanks, dear! I hope you'll enjoy this one if you try it.
Oh my word, this looks amazing. What a totally unique idea. Thanks for sharing.
I love the idea of a drink with almond and coconut flours in it, I am so obsessed with both of those.
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:36 am
Hi Beth–Thanks so much! Unconventional recipes have been known to intrigue me. I often use a little almond flour and/or coconut flour in smoothies, so it wasn't a far reach to come up with this concept for hot chocolate.
I bet it keeps the heat longer too, as it's a bit thicker?
Love the photo of snow and mittens
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:38 am
InTolerant Chef–I think you are right about the heat! And even if you allow it to get almost cold, it doesn't really seem cold with the thickness and foaminess. Thanks on the photos! I picked those mittens up at Christmas time. They were boys' and about $1 each, and I just love them!
ooh, that does sound divine! I was thinking of trying coconut flour in hout chocolate, will give it a go. I almost always add cinnamon!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:41 am
Alisa–Thanks! I love coconut flour in all kinds of beverages. It's a nice thickener and nutritional boost. Yes, cinnamon often makes a drink super special. Incidentally, I made your pomegranate smoothie yesterday for breakfast and loved it! But can you believe that I forgot the cinnamon? Still loved it though. Will try it with cinnamon next.
Shirley – this does sound wonderful, creamy, rich, thick – a winning combination indeed!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:42 am
Hi Ina–Thanks! Personally, I'm still drooling over your chicken casserole and biscuits–ultra comfort food there!
That is so ridiculous that it becomes amazing!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:43 am
Haha, Katrina! Sometimes I do like ridiculous, and I definitely aspire to amazing, but most often I'll settle for very good, and delicious.
So clever, Shirley!!! Not to mention that it looks delicious. I love the photos.
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:45 am
Hi Nancy–Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave such a nice comment! I know you are swamped these days. I loved the red, white, and blue of the photos as background for that hot chocolate, too.
I was craving hot cocoa last night, this sure hit the spot!
Thanks Shirley!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:45 am
Sunny–Hooray! A review! Thank you so much, dear!
Oh you are going to make me be naughty! If we get snow I'm making that. Oh and those photos are great. Enter that contest!
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:47 am
I think the chance of snow has passed, right? So you are in the clear now, but as naughty goes, this one isn't too bad. Thanks re: the photos! Have you seen the photos entered so far? I don't think I can contend, but I have until March. I'll keep looking for/working towards a photo to submit … just for you.
Can I come with you on your next morning walk with Sonny? I'm more than happy to help make (and imbibe) with you. What a lovely combo of ingredients – rich, bittersweet chocolate is definitely my middle name:).
Shirley on February 21st, 2012 11:48 am
Hi Ellen–Sure, and thanks! Today after our walk, Sonny ate his usual fare and I made pancakes from banana, egg, almond butter, and a bit of almond flour. YUM! I was working off a simple recipe at Heidi's blog.
I love making super-thick hot chocolate. It's like heaven. And adding cinnamon? Oh yes. Yummy yummy yummy.
Even though it is 80 degrees here right now, this still sounds pretty darn good to me right now!
Shirley on February 22nd, 2012 8:58 pm
Hey Carol–Happy anniversary! From your FB update, I know you're drinking something better than any type of hot chocolate tonight.. Enjoy!
I am so making this, I love the idea of using the flours to thicken it up, makes you think decadence w/out the calories! I usually use sweet potato puree to achieve this, but coconut flour?! Genius!
Shirley on February 22nd, 2012 9:02 pm
Thanks, Tessa! I've used coconut flour in place of milk powder, protein powder, and more. As long as you have plenty of liquid, it's always a good addition. And if you ever have a recipe that has too much liquid, adding some coconut flour can solve the problem in a jiffy. I need to take a page from your book and use sweet potato puree more. I've been adding mashed sweet potato to smoothies and several other recipes of late, but haven't thought of it as healthy decadence, although it did that job nicely in the recent biscuits (beloved by my support group last night).
For me, the thicker the hot chocolate the better! This sounds amazing. I wish I was there in the cold with you, walking with Sonny, to enjoy this frothy beverage. Like Carol, it is going to be pretty warm and nice here today so hot chocolate will sound perfect at about 7pm when the temp drops. Love the creativity of this. And I cannot really imagine a REAL donut in this. Holy Shmagoly. Talk about decadent. I would be on a sugar high for days after that.
Shirley on February 22nd, 2012 9:05 pm
Hi Kim–Well, today it was sunny and 60 something! So it's cooler beverages today. This recipe is definitely thick with a bit of a texture. I suspect that if we took a sip of hot chocolate with a real doughnut in it, one sip (or maybe two) would be more than enough. None of us really need those sugar highs, do we?
Waw, What a yummy & tasty alternative good-for-you drnk! Hot too!
A real delight!
Shirley on February 22nd, 2012 9:08 pm
Hi Sophie–It's great to see you, dear. Thanks so much for the kind words on this recipe. I'm thinking it's still cold in your region.
Sounds amazing Shirley! Love those pictures of the hot chocolate, red mittens and snow!
Shirley on March 8th, 2012 11:33 pm
Hi Susan–I'm behind on comment replies … thank you, dear! I had some tonight … even though it was 70 outside.
Oh, yum! What a delish grain-free treat. I will have to make this one day.
Shirley on March 8th, 2012 11:35 pm
Hi Morri–Obviously I'm way behind on some comments, but it's great to see you again! Thanks for the kind words. It is delish.
Yum! I love all things chocolate so I know this would be a hit for me. Thanks so much for linking to allergy-free Wednesday. Hope to see you again next week!
Shirley on March 8th, 2012 11:36 pm
Hi Nancy–Thank you, dear! Most of us love "all things chocolate," so I knew this recipe would be a hit. Love AFW! Trying to keep up with it … you guys are amazing!
This looks delish! I also love the ingredients, some of my favorite to cook with!
Shirley on March 8th, 2012 11:40 pm
Hi Michelle–Welcome to gfe, and thank you! Just took a peak at your blog, Gluten-Free Fix, and I love all your simple and delightful recipes! Oh my goodness on that coconut caramel sauce … I want that now!! No kidding!
Now this sounds fantastic indeed! Wonderful!
YUM! A thick, creamy, doughnut hot chocolate sounds AMAZING!!! I recently went grain free so I love your ingredient list, I need to start using more coconut flour
I am going to have to blog about this one! My 9 year old and I are at home today and we thought your hot cocoa sounded like a wonderful way to start the day. We subbed the almond milk with canned coconut milk (mainly because it's what we have on hand, but it's also more Candida friendly), raw unfiltered honey in place of the palm sugar (we're stage 3 and allowed a bit of honey every day…although I'm sure stevia would work, too) and two Tbs cocoa nibs in place of the chocolate chips.
Soooooo gooooood! We love the cinnamon in it, of course it probably offsets some of the bitterness from the raw nibs which is just fine with me.
All of the raw cocoa gives us a healthy dose of iron and magnesium, meaning we'll probably want naps in a while! LOL! I'm sure this will become a nighttime favorite once winter kicks in.
Thanks, Shirley!
Shirley on September 22nd, 2013 12:13 am
Hey Sunny–I was sure that I had replied to you, but I guess that was on Facebook. I'm so happy that you came up with a version that you all can enjoy! It sounds totally delish, of course. Can you do the roasted cocoa nibs? I LOVE those! I like the idea of making this a nighttime favorite during cold weather.
In KC, there is a fancy chocolatier, Christopher Elbow, who sells Liquid Chocolate. It's thick, creamy and has incredible depth of flavor. This recipe–spot on except without the dairy and refined sugar. How is that even possible? Thank you for this, it's divine!
Shirley on January 3rd, 2014 11:07 pm
Johnna–First, thank you for this fabulous review! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment. Although I've never heard of Christopher Elbow before today, I hope I get to try their chocolate one day. Second, interestingly enough, my Bellagio Sipping Chocolate arrived today and when made with milk (dairy or non-dairy), it also tastes very close to this recipe. (I originally had it made with water when I sampled it.) Anyway, I love that I created a special hot chocolate that you really enjoyed!

Thanks for Santo football coverage
Dear Editor,
Thanks for the great coverage given to the Santo football games (even if it was just the last two games of the season).
We are proud of the progress this team has gained since the Thornton brothers took over the leadership of the program. They have a great rapport with the boys on the team both on the field and in the classroom. We look forward to other seasons, but this one was special because of the time it took to
get there (17 years).
Maybe next time we can have a little coverage during the year.
Linda Duncan
Lone Camp
Editor's note: Thanks, Mrs. Duncan. We did attend and cover in person four Santo games this year, including the Perrin and Valley Mills games during the season, plus the De Leon regular season finale and the playoff game in Mansfield. We have seven area football teams to follow and want to make in person at least one game of each team during their 10-week regular season. Congrats to Santo on a great season and we hope to follow them to the playoffs next year and every year.
Left out in the Black Friday cold
Dear Editor,
Years ago retail stores used bait and switch, a dishonest sales practice in which a business advertises a bargain price for an item in order to draw customers into the store and then tells the prospective buyer that the advertised item is of poor quality or no longer available and attempts to switch the customer to a more expensive product.
Courts ruled that retailers using a bait-and-switch operation could be subject to a lawsuit by customers for false advertising and most business ended the practice.
Now retailers have gone to a new form of bait and switch. The new form is were retailers announce they are going to have a few items of a major electronic device at a great reduced price or limited amount of other items that are in high demand. As long as the store advertises that there is a limited number it is legal.
Although it is legal it appears to me to be nothing more than a new form of bait and switch. What makes this form of bait and switch more outrageous is that for the past few years shoppers has been injured, at least one seriously, trying to get one of the items.
It appears that the failure of the retailer to have enough security is part of the cause of the injuries. But one has to ask if it is time to end this form of bait and switch.
Before you ask no I was not out shopping on Black Friday, or this year Black Thursday, and am mad because I didn't get one of the bait and switch items.
