Prince Harry has shown a surprising talent for building his own throne – outdoor toilets in the freezing Antarctic.
The industrious prince, 29, took the creative lead in constructing intricate designs for his fellow adventurers at the South Pole last month, it was revealed Tuesday, as Harry, the patron of the Walking with the Wounded charity expedition, was reunited with some of the 12 injured servicemen and women and others who spent 13 days with him in the frozen south.
The Wire actor Dominic West, though on a rival team of Harry's, said he enjoyed the comfort of the Prince's designs.
"They had a flag pole and a loo roll holder that were surrounded by blocks of snow," West, 44, said at the reception.
"He must have taken 45 minute to create each one." (Alexander Skarsgard, who was on the trek, took a memorable photo posing on one of the loos.)
Explaining how Harry worked, West said the Prince would dig a hole at the chosen spot along with a "platform to squat on. He built these incredible intricate ones. He did art A level [in high school] – you can tell he has the artistic touch."
West added, "I'd be sitting there, looking at a beautiful view thinking, 'This is the royal flush!' "
West also revealed how Harry told "eye-wateringly rude jokes. For the non-soldier like me it was quite shocking," he said with a smile.
West said they lived on military rations during the charity ski trek, which was originally set up as a race between a Commonwealth, U.S. and British teams until it turned into a joint mission when bad weather made it too dangerous to race.
Harry, who has shaved his beard before taking a desk job with the army in London, said at Tuesday's press conference, "Our wounded, injured and sick don't want pity – they just want to be treated the same way they were before they were injured, with respect and admiration."
He also joked that the U.K. team had, in fact, won the trophy.
"We had a chat and decided to share it out amongst everyone else!" he said. "To the Australian group if you are watching ... Sorry."

A North Collins woman was charged with felony driving while intoxicated, following a minor property-damage crash Friday on Route 62, state police reported.
A vehicle, driven by 43-year-old Deanna Waterman of Sherman Avenue and heading north on Route 62 in North Collins, slid off the snow-covered highway and struck a mailbox, before going into a ditch, according to troopers.
Waterman was charged with felony DWI after a check of her driving record found a drunken-driving conviction within the last 10 years, troopers said.
She refused to take a breath test, troopers indicated.

With the overall dearth of PGs, how high will MCW climb on the draft board? It's completely conceivable that reaches well into the top 10, right?
Honest questions to the gurus.

Out of those 3, I would say Burke and McW both have a chance on getting into the top 10.
Also, I don't think anyone has posted this yet, http://mobile.syracuse.com/advsyra/d...n=&ps=#display
Also, even though McW is a sophomore, he is he only a month younger than Senior CJ McCollom.
Based on a few conversations I've had with some guys that get paid to evaluate, I'd be surprised if any of them reach top 10. The buzz right now seems to be much more heavily weighted toward MCW. Obviously this will change a couple times as these trends ebb and flow throughout each season. I'm not hearing much overly positive about BJ Young and not much regarding Trey either. There's actually a bit more about McCollum than these guys, but even that isn't much..
I just don't see many teams gambling much just because the position is a need. I would say, at this point, MCW is the only PG with a chance to crack the top 10 and it's not likely .. 12 - 15, I'd say.

Artist Deborah Jarchow demonstrates a variety of rigid heddle techniques for weavers who want to create more complex and beautiful fabrics. Deborah will lead you through the techniques for color and weave, leno, Brooks bouquet and more. Weave along with Deborah and get a handle on managing selvages, maintaining an even tension and reviewing design considerations. You'll even learn how to create decorative edgings and to incorporate your work into a fabulous garment. Included with your class are practice patterns as well as the pattern for the Log Cabin Table Runner, designed exclusively for you!
Meet your instructor, Deborah Jarchow, and learn more about the rigid heddle loom and your Craftsy class.
Awesome patterns come simply from changing up the order or the colors in your warp and weft. Deborah shows you how to get started and how to manage your selvages with even and odd repeats. She discusses design considerations and introduces the Log Cabin pattern.
No, not Jay Leno, the talk show host. The leno weaving technique involves twisting warp threads. Deborah demonstrates 1x1, 2x2 and stacking leno with a dish towel sample.
Bundles of warp threads make a lovely pattern. Deborah shows you single- and double-wrap techniques as well as how to add beads and work with chunky yarn.
A pattern stick helps you manipulate the warp threads to create your designs. Learn how to insert the pattern stick on your loom and try three different sample patterns. Deborah also shows how to use two pattern sticks.
You can use the weft pick-up technique on its own or combine it with warp pick-up. Set up your loom with Deborah's help and give it a try!
Deborah demonstrates many ways to tie off or hem your work, then wet-finish and block it.
Knitting and crochet add flexibility to garments, and it's easy to pick up stitches along the edges of your weaving. Deborah shows you how!
Sample, sample, sample the many techniques Deborah has shown, and take copious notes. You'll have a library of swatches to browse through when you're ready to plan your next project!
"I love this class! I watched it all the way through first - then warped up to work through the various projects. I am thrilled to have learned so many new techniques, "seeing" how they are woven was so helpful, as books can only take you so far. I like how the lessons were laid out, all the helpful tricks and tips and I really liked how the instructor worked with many types and weights of yarn. ... Thank you for an outstanding learning experience."

do this by trial and error, and a spreadsheet would be a good tool
for such work. Write down a+x = P^2, b+x = Q^2, c+x = R^2, and then
focus on Q^2-R^2=b-c which is known. Moreover you know that Q >
sqrtb and R > sqrtc . Use this to show that Q-R is less than or
equal to 41 . Use a spreadsheet to calculate values of Q+R , Q and
x for values of Q-R from 1 to 41 , and hence to find the value of x
for which a+x is a perfect square.

A proposal by federal lawmakers to raise the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67 to help avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff" could add $1 billion or more to West Virginia's long-term obligations to its future retirees, figures provided by the state Public Employees Insurance Agency indicate.
Many public employees in the Mountain State - including educators and workers at state agencies, as well as some local governments - and their families receive health insurance benefits through the state agency, and those benefits continue after they retire. Once Medicare benefits kick in for those retirees at the age of 65, however, they are offered less expensive supplemental coverage through PEIA.
PEIA Director Ted Cheatham said the typical monthly premium cost is $600 to $700 higher per policyholder for non-Medicare eligible retirees than for those on Medicare.
That means extending the period during which retirees are covered under the more expensive health care plan by two years would cost the state an additional $14,400 to $16,800 per policyholder.
For the 75,598 public employees covered under PEIA who had yet to retire as of fiscal year 2010 - the last year for which enrollment figures were available on the agency's website - the additional premiums over the extra two years would cost state taxpayers between $1.08 billion and $1.27 billion. And that doesn't account for those who may be hired in the coming years.
"Absolutely ... it would impact the plan, and we would have to do something to offset that cost," Cheatham said of delaying Medicare eligibility. Cheatham said any such increase would have to be offset in one of three ways, or some combination of them: increased funding from the Legislature; higher premiums for beneficiaries; and/or a decrease in benefits in the form of higher deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums.
Retiree health insurance costs are subsidized by taxpayers at varying levels based on service time. Those with 25 years of service or more, which Cheatham said makes up the largest segment of retirees, are subsidized at the highest rate.
"In simplest terms, we have money in and money out. ... If you assume we're going to keep subsidizing at the rate we are ... if you're going to change any of those factors, another one has (to change) to match," he said.

TAMPA, Fla. — The Buffalo Sabres still have the NHL's worst power play, but numbers that were just about historically bad early in the season won't easily be overcome. So they have to focus on small progress.
And the Sabres definitely have some of that going.
Heading into tonight's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Sabres have scored with the man-advantage in four straight games. Another power-play goal tonight will make it five straight for the first time since Nov. 13-21, 2009.
"It's definitely better. That's what we need going forward," defenseman Christian Ehrhoff said Monday after practice in the Tampa Bay Times Forum. "We needed the 'PP' to step up and get us some goals and we've had a pretty good run. We just have to stick with it.
"We felt like we were going in the right direction. We got the puck more to the net and a key thing is we got it back for some second opportunities. It seemed like it was a matter of time for a few pucks to fall for us and that's what's happened."
The power play is at a 12.9 percent clip for the season but has gone 4 for 15 in the last four games. In the previous 21 games, Buffalo was 5 for 76, and First Niagara Center fans were in near revolt during some situations as the Sabres failed to establish any presence in the offensive zone.
"We weren't creating enough momentum for us and instead coming out of it with no momentum and boobirds and all that kind of stuff," said Steve Ott, whose power-play goal in overtime provided a win last Tuesday in Montreal. "It takes a big toll on your overall game. If we're generating chances and momentum, goals will come."
That momentum has been happening in recent games, thanks to better entries into the zone and better work to keep control of the puck down low.
"It's been huge, night and day," said Jason Pominville. "You're not going to score on all your power plays but if you generate good things, zone time and shots, it does carry over. The same for a big penalty kill. It's a game of momentum and when you get it on your side, a lot of good things can happen."
The Sabres are 7-4-2 this season in games in which they score a power-play goal. That leaves them 6-11-2 in games they're blanked. They have 11 one-goal losses and are just 4 for 32 in those games.
"You have a good power play, it can win you games or at least keep you in there," said Thomas Vanek. "Look at how many games we lost by one goal and how many power-play chances we've had in that span. We could have won I bet half of them with just a decent power play. It's a key. It reflects your game as a whole."
Ehrhoff's booming slap shot from the point of the power play has been a key element this season, pro and con. He's often fired wide – or drilled a teammate – but now he's getting more of his shots on the net. He's even taking some velocity off at times to give himself a higher percentage chance.
Ehrhoff fired a boomer past Toronto's James Reimer for a goal in Thursday's shootout victory and snapped a quick wrister that Vanek tipped home in Saturday's 2-1 win in Montreal.
"There's different opportunities that call for different types of shots," Ehrhoff said. "Sometimes you see Thomas in front and he's not covered you try to get a quick wrister in there. Other times like on the Toronto goal when I had a lot of time and a chance to tee it up, that's when you really shoot the puck."
"There's a right time to use a heavy shot and a right time for him to take some off like he did with 'Van' because we've got one of the best net-front guys in the NHL there," Ott said. "There's times for everything. He's been solid for us of late on the power play and it's made a huge difference."
Vanek continues to lead the Sabres with seven power-play goals and many have come on tips from Ehrhoff. Vanek, of course, is still nursing a sore hip after getting drilled by Ehrhoff last Tuesday.
"Sometimes it's not about the heavy shot," Vanek said. "His goal is the time and place. You get the green light in the middle of the ice. He's getting better at taking some off or shooting even a little wide for a tip."

Hampton at Penn?State men
First round, CBI Tournament
Tipoff: 7 p.m., Bryce Jordan Center
Records: Penn State (15-17, 6-12 Big Ten); Hampton (18-12, 13-3 MEAC)
Coaches: Patrick Chambers is 37-58 in his third season at Penn State and 79-86 in four seasons overall. Edward Joyner Jr. is 82-77 in his fifth season at Hampton.
TV: None
Radio: None
Probable starters: Penn State - G Tim Frazier, 6-1 Sr. (15.4), G D.J. Newbill, 6-4 Jr. (17.8), F Ross Travis, 6-6 Jr. (8.6), F Brandon Taylor, 6-7 So. (9.1), C Jordan Dickerson, 7-0 So. (1.4). Hampton - G Deron Powers, 5-11 So. (11.6); G Brian Darden, 6-2 So. (10.0), G Ke'Ron Brown, 6-3 So. (4.7), F Du'Vaughn Maxwell, 6-7 Sr. (15.2), F Jervon Pressley, 6-8 So. (6.9).
Notes: Penn State, a 13-point favorite, had to pay $35,000 for the right to host this game, and there are some who wonder why even bother with playing in the CBI if you miss the NCAA or NIT tournaments. But it is a chance for the Lions to keep playing, keep practicing and keep improving for the guys returning next year. Frazier is the only starter who won't be back next year, so it does beg the question of how much he should play in this tournament, as opposed to giving younger guys more minutes so the coaches can see different combinations. That's one way to look at it. The other is to for PSU to do everything it can to try and win each game so the season lasts as long as possible. It basically comes down to how much does PSU value CBI wins as opposed to the thing that all coaches in these kinds of tournaments talk about, which is to keep practicing so younger players can improve. If those younger players are on the bench watching a senior like Frazier, are they improving enough? Hampton finished second in the MEAC with a 13-3 record and won seven games in a row before losing to Coppin State in its conference tournament. ... The winner plays Siena next Monday in the second round.
Mirror prediction: Penn State 73, Hampton 64
Comment: It's OK that PSU is playing in this also-ran tournament that basically no one cares about. But the one thing the Lions cannot do is lose this game. That would be an embarrassing way to end the season and would leave a sour taste for the program going into the offseason.
Mirror prediction record: 24-8

Gen-Probe made a $50 million investment in Pacific Biosciences, a private sequencing company. In addition, the companies will work together to explore co-development of new integrated clinical diagnostic systems based on Pacific Biosciences' Single Molecule Real Time (SMRT™) platform.
Gen-Probe and Pacific Biosciences will initially collaborate on an exclusive basis for up to 30 months. The companies may also purchase some of each others' products on preferential terms.
Pacific Biosciences' SMRT DNA sequencing platform enables the observation of natural DNA synthesis by a DNA polymerase as it occurs. The approach is based on eavesdropping on a single DNA polymerase molecule working in a continuous, processive manner.
The technology is built upon three innovations to overcome major challenges facing the field of DNA sequencing, according to Pacific Biosciences: The SMRT Cell enables observation of individual fluorophores against a dense background of labeled nucleotides by maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio; phospholinked nucleotides produce a completely natural DNA strand through fast, accurate, and processive DNA synthesis; and a detection platform that enables single molecule, real-time detection, as well as flexibility in run configurations and applications.
"We believe Pacific Biosciences' third-generation, single-molecule sequencing technology has the potential to play an important long-term role in strategically valuable, high-growth clinical diagnostics markets such as oncology, transplant diagnostics, and pharmacogenomics due to its fast time to result, long read lengths, and ability to interrogate broad genomic regions in high resolution," remarks Carl Hull, Gen-Probe's president and CEO.
Hugh Martin, chairman and CEO of Pacific Biosciences, adds "We believe Gen-Probe's expertise in instrument systems engineering and sample preparation, combined with their capabilities in clinical and regulatory affairs, will help us maximize the potential of our sequencing technology to benefit human health."

A Collins man was arrested and accused of driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest after he was stopped following a hit-and-run accident early Saturday, Erie County Sheriff's officials said.
Deputies were alerted to a hit-and-run accident in which a car rear-ended a second vehicle on Southwestern Boulevard on the Seneca Nation Reservation.
The suspect's vehicle was located a short time later on Versailles Plank Road with the help of Seneca Nation Marshals.
Deputies interviewed the driver, John L. Darwin, 50, and found him to be intoxicated. Darwin was "uncooperative and struggled with deputies" as he was arrested. He was eventually taken into custody and charged with DWI. He refused a chemical test.
Authorities learned he also had an active arrest warrant out of the Town of Collins by State Police on a charge of criminal mischief.
Darwin was taken to the Erie County Holding Center where he was being held pending arraignment.

The Family Grain Mill is a standalone grain grinder that is also available as an attachment for Bosch and KitchenAid mixers. The Family Grain Mill (FGM) requires less force to use than most hand-operated grain mills, though it will not grind quite as fast as an impact-chamber mill like the Nutrimill, nor produce quite as fine a flour. Even still, Family Grain Mills are capable of producing flour that is plenty fine for many types of bread. Easy interchangeable attachments allow for the grinding of most common grains: cracking grains and grinding flour, making granola and cereal, and even grinding meats.
Oily grains and nuts, such as peanuts and sesame seeds, will not damage the Family Grain Mill as they will an impact-chamber mill like Wonder Mill or Nutrimill. Family Grain Mill units and attachments grind approximately 1 cup of flour in 2 minutes with the motor, and slightly less by hand. We at Everything Kitchens appreciate the Family Grain Mill grinders for their ease of use, versatility, and flour yield & consistency.

Looking straight up, The Cirque has one ugly face.
It doesn't get any prettier looking straight down. The treacherous Kirkwood terrain is covered in exposed rock and ripped with double-black shoots all the more jagged without new snow. The terrain is permanently closed to the public.
The Cirque at Kirkwood Mountain Resort will serve as the venue for the fourth stop of the Swatch Freeride World Tour by The North Face 2013 on Wednesday. The competition originally had a weather window of Wednesday through Sunday, but with no snow on the weekend horizon, Wednesday is a go.
The best freeskiers and snowboarders in the world will meet at 9 a.m. to face off on the bare-bones conditions.
Among them are Kirkwood's Josh Daiek and Casey Lucas, and the North Shore's Ralph Backstrom, who currently leads the men's snowboard standings, Sammy Luebke, Iris Lazzareschi and Jackie Paaso.
"It's really a great feeling being home. Competing is already very nerve-racking and stressful. Being home brings a calming element," Lucas said.
Lucas, who took fourth in the women's snowboard division in her first two FWT stops, has been looking mighty calm on the icy slopes lately. She took first at the Kirkwood Banzai competition in similar conditions last month.
"I am thankful I have had a couple weeks home to get used to riding hard pack. Thanks Banzai," Lucas said.
The Kirkwood rider also has a couple years of riding The Cirque on her side.
"The first time I rode the Cirque I believe I was 19 or 20. It was pretty insane. I had no business being in there," Lucas said. "I used to get scared, now I get really excited. I think I get more nervous about being judged."
Riders compete one at a time and a judging panel bases their score on line difficulty, control, fluidity, technique and style. A start gate is positioned at the summit with a finish gate at the bottom. The best complete runs win. The sport is similar in context to big-wave surfing with skiers and snowboarders choosing impossible-looking lines through cornices and cliff-faces and couloirs.
Daiek, a Kirkwood skier and the 2012 Subaru Freeskiing World Tour Champion, is also looking forward to competing on his home mountain.
"I'm simply stoked for the competition to be at Kirkwood," Daiek said. "It has some of the most fun terrain and is one of the best competition venues in the world."
Kirkwood will be the fourth stop on the five-stop Freeride World Tour. It is the only U.S. stop.
Before the Kirkwood event, the FWT athletes made their way through Revelstoke, Canada; Courmayeur, France; and Chamonix, France.
After Kirkwood, there will be one more stop in Fieberbrunn, Austria, before cuts are made. The top three results out of the five events for men and the top three results out of the four events for women will qualify riders for a final showdown in Verbier, Switzerland, and a coveted spot on the 2014 Freeride World Tour.
For Lucas and Luebke, who are both ranked fourth in FWT standings, this makes the Kirkwood stop all the more important. Both are up for the challenge.
"My strategy going into every contest is having fun," Lucas said. "Especially this event. I have been mediating on not having any doubts in myself, and remembering the reason I started this sport. To have fun."
A preview video of the event is available at http://tinyurl.com/aqkaf73. The competition can be viewed live at www.freerideworldtour.com.

Radioactive abscess scan looks abscesses in the body using a radioactive material. An abscess occurs when pus collects due to an infection.
Radioactive abscess scan; Abscess scan
Blood is drawn from a vein, most often on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
The blood sample is then sent to a lab. There the white blood cells are tagged with a radioactive substance called indium. The cells are then injected back into a vein body through another needle stick.
You will need to return to the office 6-24 hours later. At that time, you will have a nuclear medicine scan to see if white blood cells have gathered in areas of your body where they would not be normally.
Most of the time you do not need special preparation. You will need to sign a consent form.
For the test, you will need to wear a hospital gown or loose clothing. You will need to take off all jewelry.
Tell the health care provider if you are pregnant. This procedure is NOT recommended if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. Women of childbearing age (before menopause) should use some form of birth control during the course of this procedure.
Tell your health care provider if you have or had any of the following medical conditions, procedures, or treatments, as they can interfere with test results:
Some people feel a little pain when the needle is inserted to draw blood. Others feel only a prick or sting. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
The nuclear medicine scan is painless. It may be a little uncomfortable to lie flat and still on the scanning table. This is only for a short time.
An abscess may form after surgery, or it may form on its own. Symptoms of an abscess depend on where it is found, but may include:
This test is used to locate an abscess in the body. Often, other imaging tests such as an ultrasound or CT scan may be done first.
Normal findings would show no abnormal gathering of white blood cells.
A gathering of white blood cells outside of the normal areas is a sign of either an abscess or other type of inflammatory process.
Some types of abscess are:
The test is controlled so that you get only the smallest amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is very low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray.

I have had my Laplander for two years, and can honestly say, it is one of the most used items in our home!With a family of five, one of us is always employing it in one way or another, from reading in an overstuffed chair, to working in bed with the laptop, to doing homework on the floor (as the photo of my 7-year-old depicts).I love the cherry wood finish - it has held up really well to daily use - and the monogram lets everyone know who it REALLY belongs to! The only things I would improve upon are the elastic bands - which are very handy, but tend to slip off easily - and the lack of a lip at the bottom to stop the paper, book. or laptop you're working on from sliding. I see that the leather version now has a lip -- would be nice if the wood one did, as well.All and all, I think this is one of those simple, yet highly functional items that every home should not be without. A great gift for folks from 1-99!

So warped that I have to place my wallet under one corner of my Macbook Pro to level it out and keep it from rocking back & forth while I type.It arrived with perhaps half as much warping, I've taken great care of it but it has only gotten worse over the last year. This might sound petty, but it becomes immensely annoying over time.

Perfect for getting work done while on the couch!
By SAJ309
from Rochester Hills, Michigan
I own the Laplander (the one in this ad) and the smaller Laplander that Levenger used to carry. I use both on a regular basis. I use the smaller Laplander for when I'm just using my laptop computer and use the larger one (this one) for when I have my laptop and need to jot down notes or have a book beside the computer. One thing is for sure -- if I don't have the Laplander available, I don't like using my laptop on my lap - the Laplander prevents the laptop from getting too hot on your lap, and also allows the laptop to "breathe" and not overheat. My only complaint is that the pillow can sometimes be too mushy and wish it were made of more stable foam (like the smaller Laplander). Nonetheless, I am very happy with it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bought for daughter, Had to buy another for son
By jenmenke
from Watertown, MN
Bought this for my daughter who does all her homework sitting in bed. Drives me crazy. Bought this for her for Christmas, and was worried she wouldn't use it. At first, she didn't. So my son started using it. Then, when he was looking for it one day and saying how awesome it was, she became more interested. Then they started fighting over it. They both love it. So, for my son's birthday I bought him the dark cherry version. They are both thrilled.
Perfect support
By DoctorK
from Undisclosed
I have been looking at the laplander for a long time, and finally bought it when it went on sale. I should have bought it a long time ago because it has solved my back problems when I am working on my laptop. I use it when I'm working in bed on my laptop, and it is fantastic. When I have to write something, I just move my laptop over and still have space to take some notes. I use it to prop my kindle fire as well when I am reading so that my head is at a proper angle. Good quality, comfortable, portable, light, and helpful.

Perfect Microsoft Surface Pro Companion
By aeroblazer
from Baton Rouge, LA
One of the big reviewer gripes from the Surface Pro tablet was the inability to comfortably use it as a "lap"top device. Having just purchased a Surface Pro, I realized I'd like something like this, especially for use in bed, but I was pretty hesitant to get a Laplander since the lap desks I'd used in the past always wobbled, they'd get really hot, whatever was on them would slide if you barely moved, and they were just generally a pain.The small-but-just-right, (removable!) micro-bead-filled pillow underneath settles nicely on my lap without becoming warm. It conforms to my lap, so I can reach over and grab a glass of water without tipping everything onto the floor.The felt on the underside of the Surface Pro's Type Cover provides unbelievable friction with the wood top of the Laplander, so my tablet stays in place and doesn't move unless I want it to. (When using the Laplander with only the tablet, I have to be a little more careful, but it's just because of the lack of friction, not because the base is unstable.)The pen loops are perfect for the stylus that comes with the Surface Pro, as that was another reviewer gripe - when charging the Surface Pro, the stylus doesn't have anything with which to magnetically attach itself, so I can keep it in arm's reach and not worry about losing it.I know Levenger seems like it caters to a mostly Apple-only consumer base, but the Laplander is a perfect companion to the Microsoft Surface Pro.Since owning it, I've branched out and read "real" books on it. It's also useful for having a reference book open while documenting notes, and it's just a really great product. Thanks for making it.
By Penman
from Raleigh, NC
I love this lapdesk. It is nice when you are working on something that requires more space. I actually have another smaller laplander that I got from Levenger quite a few years ago that is made very similar but it is smaller. I use this one every day. I think the laplander is very reasonably priced for such a well-made product. I love all of Levenger's products.

I LOVE my Laplander!
By Carina
from Los Angeles, CA
This is a great product. I needed a stable writing surface while I travel in the car with my husband on our various car trips. It seems as though I was always writing or reading or working on my iPad and needed a little table upon which to hold these items. I complained for a long time saying, "I wish I had a little table that would fit right in my passenger seat space so I could work properly and not drop my things every two seconds." Well, I was casually looking through my Levenger catalog and found the Laplander. It is perfect! It fits perfectly on my lap either in the car or at home. It is well made of very nice wood in a beautiful dark cherry. The underside cushion conforms nicely to my lap and keeps the table very stable. The straps work well to hold papers from sliding around. I use it everywhere. I like, too, the added touch of having my monogram lasered onto the table - it looks very elegant. It's not too expensive and is a good value. If you are in need of this type of table, do yourself a favor and get a Laplander.

Great Multipurpose Piece
By FineLivinginMn
from St. Paul, MN
While I've only had my Laplander for a short time (couple of weeks), I already love it. I've found it useful for writing notes, cards and doing my monthly bills in a chair. I've even used it for eating in front of the TV -- however, I wouldn't suggest balancing a glass/cup of liquid on it unless you're extremely steady. I've found the straps on the Laplander very handy for tucking paperwork, pen, reading glasses and a small calculator under them. The straps do come off fairly easily - you just have to be careful with them. I love having the detachable cushion feature, though don't know that I will have a need to remove the cushion. I first ordered a similar lap desk that did NOT have the cushion and returned it for this piece. The quality of the lapdesk is excellent and I think I will get a lot of use out of it for years to come.

Board index ‹ Bugs ‹ Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?Found a bug? Tell us!!
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
I disagree. I know s9y installations where people give FTP access to the /templates/ directory and only *.tpl files, and for those people the security is meant, so that they cannot execute PHP code.
So the security definitely has a point for this; of course, once you have access to plugins PHP code, the security is useless.

# My "other" hobby: http://flickr.garv.in/
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
Hmmm, Garvin.
Yes there may be some out there who give ftp access and to *.tpls only, apart from having Knowledge about the problematic if not, but I expect this will be far less than 1% of all Serendipity installations. To keep an overhead for these few, is highly doubtful in my opinion.
It would make sense to have an option for this in the backend, which only enables Smarty-Security, if really needed.
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
But it's a feature of s9y, and I see no reason to kill that off... It worked in Smarty2, and from what I figure it's currently also possible with Smarty3, or am I misinterpreting this thread?

Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
First 1.6 Blog reported, the oembed was working with
So: My actual oembed.tpl doesn't need switched off Smarty security.
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
No, its working, thats not the point. We can say, 'we had it and keep it', but my argues where just because we are using a more or less called 'security' feature, which is only present in some very special cases. Apart from performance issues, it is some sort of philosophical question, 'is it better to provide an option or have it activated for all of us'.
Gute Besserung!
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
Just wanted to report that it's working for me on 1.7alpha (latest from git) using this code:
I'm not sure what to make of it, but you'll certainly figure that out, right
- mattsches
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
Yes, before everybody gets more fuzzy about this:
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
But that's the point I wanted to make Without the if/else, it doesn't work for me ...
Maybe I got it completely wrong and you guys figured all that out before .. but I'm still confused
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
I need some more information
Serendipity version
Smarty version (in bundled-libs/Smarty/change_log.txt)
Did you try to clear templates_c before?
Do you get a more detailled error?
but wait.... Why do I see a difference in you path settings...?
not allowed by security setting in
on line 375
Smarty-Security does not allow path´s outside the allowed path, which is the correct behaviour. And a plugins tpl file should be called only either inside the plugins/plugin-name/ or templates/template-name/ path, in your case
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
Well. Mattsches setup is not that uncommon. Even Garvin has a setup it like that. He has a different plugin path than the common.
This is (in Garvins case AFAIK) because he checked out the two repositories (s9y and add_plug) in two seperate directories of course.
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
Yeah. Thats ok if you have a developers setup.
These ones should know (now) to have smarty-security disabled at all, if really going that way.
But we are coding for users to have plugins to be in /plugins, don't we? Else, we really should introduce an option for this and react on different path setting, that should not be to much work.
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
Well, I was always forced to code plugins having this setup in mind. Garvin told me to add a configuration into the plugins I updated where developers(?) can enter the correct plugin path.
This is a discussion, Garvin should lead. I don't have this setup (I don't even know how this is done).
If this type of setup is somewhat common, I think, there should be some global s9y setting defining, where the plugin path is located instead of assuming, that it is under s9y/plugins. This path should be handed to plugins (instead of having each of them defining it again). If it is done like this, we don't have to disable security even for this type of setup. Smarty could look into this global setting, too, and add this path to the allowed tpl paths.
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
Yes, thats what I meant to say!
Re: Smarty incompatible in S9Y 1.7?
Tough choice.
From what I read these are the options:
1. Use the proposed patch for the __set() method to be able to use the current plugin's code so that s9y disables/enables the security properly on changing the ->security_settings array. Old plugins can then use the current code, and new ones as well. Security will still work for plugins that don't disable security, and it will work for installations that rely on the 'security' option
2. Disable the s9y security alltogether so that all plugins can do whatever they like; current setups relying on that need to be told that it's no longer an option (i.e.: Remove feature)
3. Rely on the path setting for plugins like currently, but users that use symbolic link for additional plugins (like mattsches, grischa(?) and me) need to set a global configuration flag that disables security on those peoples installation at all. The disadvantage is that everyone that currently has such a setup needs to read READMEs and update their installations, while not really getting any advantage out of this, and losing security features.
The more I think about it, I think only option 1.) is the right way to go, it has the least impact, does not change things for current/old users and does not remove any functionality.
[an hour later]
This is bullshit, option 1 does not properly work; __set() does not work on setting $class->array[key] - for that to work we'd also have to implement __get() and this would then be too mch affecting performance.
I now wrote a mail to a smarty developer (hello Rodney) to see if there is any way to make PHP plugins not getting security restrictions applied, but only within a .tpl file. I hope we can work something like that out.

Re: Smarty is compatible with S9Y 1.7!!!
Its not that much to rethink ...
The current situation:
2. As known, it is only really needed, if someone uses ftp for *.tpl files only, in /templates
3. We have some (old) plugins with that on/off/on 5-liner, which has to be kept until there will be an official break
4. This on/off/on 5-liner does not hurt current trunks Serendipity settings, except these 2 or three (or four) developers using a different plugin dir
5. is there more?
What to do the (c)lean way:
2. optional have a config option for people in real need, with some notices about security
3. Hold a property $security_setting in Serendipity_Smarty_class to avoid errors by old 5-liners
To keep persistence, we could implement some instructions to the upgrade procedure, so everyone has to decide using the old or the new security setting. For new installation the default is without Smarty-Security.

Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
Cubs Manager Lou Pniella generally prefers to delegate pitching matters to his pitching coach (that would be Larry Rothschild), but one aspect of the pitching staff Uncle Lou believes he understands is how to get his bullpen ready for Opening Day.
And a big part of this preparation is Piniella's belief that each of his relievers need to throw on back-to-back days once or twice during the last ten days of Spring Training, and each reliever needs to throw two innings one time, too.
That's where Minor League Spring Training games can really come in handy.
While Ryan Dempster, Jeff Samardzija, Randy Wells, and Kevin Hart made the two-hour bus trip to Tucson to pitch against the Colorado Rockies at Hi Corbett Field, Kevin Gregg, Chad Fox, and Luis Vizcaino took the 20-minute van ride to the Papago Park Baseball Complex in Phoenix (a former WWII POW Camp) to get their work in versus the Oakland A's AAA squad in a minor league game.
Gregg got the start and was able to throw two full innings, and Fox and Vizcaino got to throw for the second day in a row (they both pitched at Ho Ho Kam Park yesterday).
Gregg had an excellent and efficient 1st inning (three up - three down - F-8, F-7, F-9), but really looked like a different pitcher as he struggled with his command (17 pitches, only eight strikes) in his second inning of work. And then after he finished, I could see him limping around with an ice-pack wrapped around his left knee. Given the history of tendinitis in his knee, that may be par for the course, but he did not look like he would be ready or able to pitch again tomorrow (for instance) if that were necessary. So I would think Gregg might be a one inning-only pitcher (strictly enforced).
Chad Fox had a really fine outing pitching back-to-back in a game for the first time this year, needing just 13 pitches to get an infield pop up and two punch-outs (both batters looking) in his 1-2-3 inning (P-3, Kc, Kc). His slider looked very good today, and he had some life on his fastball, too.
Luis Vizcaino also looked OK pitching in back-to-back games. He did allow two one-out ground singles to the outfield, but otherwise he threw strikes and didn't appear to be laboring at all through his one inning of work (P-6, 1B, 1B, P-4, 3-1)
Mike Stanton and Angel Guzman also threw in the game at Ho Ho Kam Park yesterday, but neither pitcher made the trrip to Phoenix with Gregg, Fox, and Vizcaino. Whether that is significant, I don't know...
Assistant Pitching Coach Lester Strode also made the trip to Papapo Park with the three Cubs pitchers, and he could be seen intensely monitoring them from various angles and vantage points as they threw. All four of the guys left together (I'm not sure who was driving), with Strode probably riding along to make sure they didn't get into any trouble (bar fight, road rage, or drive-by shooting) while heading back to Mesa.
But the Iowa Cubs didn't get to leave early.
They had to stay for the entire game...
Sam Fuld was on base four times and scored three runs, Doug Deeds had four hits (two singles, a double, and a two-run homer) and drove in four runs, and Jake Fox belted a solo HR, but the Sacramento River Cats (Oakland A's AAA affiliate) rallied to defeat the Iowa Cubs 8-7 with a run in the bottom of the 9th, when the Cubs were unable to turn a potential inning-ending DP that would have left the game tied. .
I-Cubs reliever Rocky Roquet had a very bad outing this afternoon, allowing five runs (four earned) in the bottom of the 7th, when the River Cats rallied from four runs down to take a 7-6 lead
And shortstop Matt Camp had a very bad day in the field, making one bad throw to first, one bobble on an easy grounder, and allowing another grounder to go right through the wickets.
And Bobby Scales had a bad day at the plate, grounding out 5-3 with a runner on 2nd and no outs in the top of the 1st inning (runner could not advance), striking out with runners on 1st & 3rd with nobody out in the 3rd, flying out (F-7) with a runner on second and no outs in the 4th (runner could not advance), and striking out with runners on 1st & 2nd in the top of the 6th.
And Nate Spears just had a bad day (period), getting hit on the left hand with a pitch, and it didn't look too good, either, He had to leave the game, as Luis Rivas was permitted to re-enter the game to play 3B in the bottom of the last inning (Minor League Spring Training games are a lot less-formal than MLB-type Cactus League tilts). .
On a more positive note, Sam Fuld laid-down a beautiful drag bunt and beat it out (easily) for base hit, Shawn McGill showed plus speed (at least for a catcher) when he stretched a single into a hustle-double, and Jake Fox blasted his HR so far over the LF fence that it soared past Walter Haas Drive and landed on one of the softball fields located north of the A's minor league complex.
Here is today's abridged box score (Iowa Cubs players only), Note that 18-year old Korean OF Jae-Hoon Ha (signed by Cubs Chief Asian Scout Steve Wilson last September) and Venezuelan INF George Matheus (he played at AZL Cubs last Summer) were loaned to the Iowa squad from the Boise-Mesa group (soon to be the Extended Spring Training squad) at Fitch Park, and made the trip with the I-Cubs to Papago Park. Ha has an annoying habit of double-clutching every time he has to make a throw from the outfield (and it is no laughing matter, folks). .
1a. Sam Fuld, CF: 2-2 (2B, 1B, BB, BB, 3 R)
1b. Jae-Hoon Ha, CF: 0-1 (4-3)
2. Bobby Scales, 1B: 1-5 (5-3, Ks, F-7, Kc, 1B, 1 R)
3. Doug Deeds, RF: 4-5 (2B, 1B, HR, 1-3, 1B, 1 R, 4 RBI)
4. Jake Fox, LF: 2-4 (Ks, 1B, 6-3, HR, BB, 1 R, 1 RBI)
5, Jason Dubois, DH: 1-3 (Ks, F-8 SF, 1B, BB, Kc, 1 RBI)
6a. Kyle Reynolds, 3B: 1-3 (Ks, 1B, F-7)
6b. George Matheus, 2B: 0-2 (FC, Kc)
7a. Luis Rivas, 2B-3B: 1-4 (F9, L-6, 3-1, 1B)
7b. Nate Spears, 3B: 0-0 (HBP - left game with left hand injury)
8. Matt Camp, SS: 0-5 (F-9, F-9, F-7, Ks, F-9)
9a. Chris Robinson, C: 1-3 (2B, Ks, FC, 1 R)
9b. Shawn McGill, C: 1-2 (2B, 6-3)
1. Kevin Gregg - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 32 pitches -17 strikes, 0/4 GO/FO
2. Chad Fox - 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 13 pitches - 8 strikes, 0/1 GO/FO
3. Luis Vizcaino - 1.0 IP, 2 H. 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 16 pitches - 11 strikes, 1/2 GO/FO)
4. Jose Ascanio - 2.0 IP, 1 H,. 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 33 pitches - 22 strikes, 2/2 GO/FO
5. Rocky Roquet - 1.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R (4 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP, 37 pitches - 26 strikes, 0/2 GO/FO
6. Matt Smith -1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R (1 ER), 2 BB, 0 K, 25 pitches - 15 strikes, 0/4 GO/FO
Shawn McGill - 0-3 CS
SS Matt Camp (3) - one bad throw to first, one bobble, and one ground ball went right between his legs
LF Jake Fox (1) - over-ran ball in LF allowing batter to advance to 2nd base on a single to the outfield.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs were playing the Colorado Rockies in Tucson in Cactus League action, and while I was not there, I can see by the box score that Micah Hoffpauir hit a three-run HR, Aaron Miles had three hits, one RBI, and scored two runs, Geovany Soto had two hits (including a double), and Kosuke Fukudome went 0-3 with two walks.
Also, Reed Johnson had two OF assists (and Joey Gathright had one, plus a stolen base), and Ryan Dempster started and went six innings, allowing four runs on six hits (including two doubles and a Garret Atkins solo HR), three walks, and a WP, while striking out four, with a 4/6 GO/FO. (Dempster also tripled and scored a run).
And finally RHP Randy Wells allowed five runs in the bottom of the 8th (including a three-run HR to Chris Iannetta), turning a 6-4 Cubs lead into a 10-6 Cubs deficit, while quite clearly punching his ticket to Des Moines (if it wasn't punched already).

I kid! Great post as usual, Phil.

Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
I believe Fox makes the opening day roster in the bullpen.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
I was at the game in Tucson today and here just some notes: Dempster wasn't that sharp, he got behind a lot of hitters and wasn't making people miss. He also failed rather badly to get a sac bunt down. Reed Johnson's throws were rockets, throwing out a guy trying to tag up from 2nd on a decently deep fly ball and he threw out Helton at 2nd after he hit a 340 foot rope off the top of the wall. Fontenot started at 3rd and had a nice barehanded play off of a bunt. And Hoffpauir continues to hit the ball hard, even on outs.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
nice to hear about the fontenot pick/barehand...it's something i've wondered about, esp. with talk of him playing 3rd.
aram's development of being able to barehand and throw while on the move has been awesome...he's gotten really accurate.
Re: Dempster wasn't....he also failed to get a sac bunt
C'mon man, Ryan All-Mighty hit a triple today!
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
And Ha! to you for the summary.
I can't decide whether this makes Gregg more or less likely to be named closer. Only one more sleepless night (on that topic, of course).

2009 Cubs Predictions
You should post your predictions on www.fan-exchange.com
Here are my Cubs predictions.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
Bruce Miles concurs with the Muskrat on So over Jo.
According to Miles, The Hoff has made the team. That would make "enough" lefties signifying that the RH "bat" of So would have a shot. And - he's Japanese, which would surely help Fukudome's average climb above the Mendoza line (Fuku is now 1-7 in ST. But man - can he WALK!)
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
How many World Series rings does So have? Maybe he is a lucky charm.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
don't get carried away with the So Taguchi lucky charm thing...
He's been in the world series three times...2004 (Stl), 2006 (Stl) and 2008 (Phil), so he's only lucky on even years and the last time I looked, this isn't an even year.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
But - do we need to replace our pitching lucky charm (Marquis),with a 39 y.o. outfielder rabbit's foot?
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
As much as I don't like Gathright on the team, he at least brings the ability to PR to the table, plus some SBs when he gets an odd start. Taguchi brings neither of those.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
I reluctantly agree. I'd rather carry a German or Scales (or in my dreams, Durham or even Grudzie--both still free agents) than Gathright. But carrying So instead of Jo would just be another over-investment in handedness. A five years younger So might make sense, but if his ability to hit for average has dropped off and he's lost a step or two on defense, then he brings very little value to the team.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
Does the fact that the Cubs are now at 37-38 on the 40 man roster make it more likely that they're looking towards snagging somebody else's late roster cut (like Reed Johnson last year) for spot 25 over either So or Jo?
D-train to DL with anxiety disorder
Thats weird.
Severe enough to go on the DL and diagnosed from a blood test?
I wonder what that could be.
Re: D-train to DL with anxiety disorder
FWIW, I know somebody who was/is treated for anxiety attacks. Part of the medication package is a thyroid med. Mood changes are part of the symptom package of (?)low thyroid. You find that through a blood test.
Re: D-train to DL with anxiety disorder
Maybe so. I've been wondering why he tailed off so much.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
I wonder if one of the spots will go to Chad Fox.
Re: Cubs Relievers Get Extra Work with I-Cubs
Plus, one of the many things I've learned reading AZ Phil and the rest of TCR, it's good to have bodies on the 60-day DL come playoff time.
Fox is kind of like the ultimate team player - gives you a few solid innings in April and May, shuts it down for the year and gives you the option to add an impact bullpen arm for October.
Rich Hill to DL
that couldn't have gone better for the O's, he can go on a nice long DL rehab trip until they need him or someone gets hurt before they're forced to put him on the 25-man roster.

I just got done looking over Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list (again) this morning and noticed that JOSH VITTERS (#51 down from #43 in 2008) has been given an ETA with the major league Cubs of 2010 (UP from 2011 in 2008)--- next year!
Do you think that's even remotely possible? I'd guess it would be something closer to 2012 -- if ever.
Cubs Closer Named
It's GREGG not Marmol
Love the Posts!
Phil, I love the minor league reports! Please keep doing them! It is the one thing that you cannot find on any other sites: info on minor league Spring Training. Do you know where I can find a schedule of the Cubs minor league Spring Training games? Thanks!
Recent comments
Phil, do Marquez and Ocampo look like prospects?
It helps when your defense has declared war against the H in WHIP.
Still impressive.
Lackey finishes with a 3.35 ERA. Currently good for 13th in the NL. Not bad for a guy signed to be a #3 starter in a 15-team league.
He is also 6th in WHIP. Pretty amazing: Cubs have the #2, #3, #5 and #6 starters in WHIP.
Completely meaningless game, but Pena striking out Sean the Turd to with the bases loaded was very fun.
Other than one bad game in SD, Pena has been very good. Even with that game, 9.0 IP, 13 K, 0.89 WHIP.
101 wins...most since 1910 (104).
neat. ...or sad. pick one. pick both. 'murica.
Just looked up Grimm's stats -- after a great run, he gave up 2 runs vs. MIL then didn't pitch for 10 days. Don't remember why?
Sean Rodriguez's helmet looks like it's taking a dump
Grimm not doing himself any favors lately re: making the playoff squad. Seems to have lost the feel for his curveball.
j.grimm is literally worse than hitler.
felix pena, your turn.
it's been a while since joe's over-managed a game...it's gotta feel good for him to be back in the saddle making people's scorecards look like their pens blew up.
Fuck a bench spot on the playoff roster, Coghlan is competing to bat cleanup.
barely any...especially for an evening game. place looks 1/2 full at best to start the game.
Listening on the radio. Are there any fans in the stands at all?
"An MRI taken Monday on the right side of Jorge Soler showed no major damage."
rare air though if he can keep it under 2. Sounds like Maddon already made up his mind though and Hendricks seems like the sort that would want to earn it. Guessing he gets a quick hook if he's still under 2 after 5 innings.
Fwiw, he can give up 1 ER in 5 innings (or more) and still be under 2. If he gives up 2 ER, he would need throw 9 IP to keep it under 2. 1 ER in 4 IP would give him an ERA of exactly 2.
In terms of WAR, it's still Scherzer by a lot (6.4), then Cueto (5.6), Lester (5.5), Kershaw (5.5), Roark (5.4), and then Hendricks (5.1)
Boring lineup tonight in terms of guys trying to reach milestones -- no KB (40 HR), Addy (100 RBI) or JHey (can he keep it going?), and Lackey isn't really going for anything, plus the team has already reached 100 wins. I get the "rest" thing, although they will have 4 days off after Sunday, but....bleh.

The Moline, Ill., native scored first-place finishes in all four events he participated in against Pitt in the "Backyard Brawl" dual meet last Saturday at the WVU Natatorium, which included three individual events and one relay. He started off his meet with a 22.44 split in the 200 yard medley relay, which propelled the team to a first-place finish. He then posted a 48.82 time in the 100 back and won the race by a margin of 1.8 seconds. He scored his second individual win of the day in the 200 back, his 1:48.69 time was 2.8 seconds better than the field. Bohman capped off his day with his third individual win in the 100 fly, posting a time of 49.19. His three individual wins on Saturday bring his season total to 12, and his relay win total now sits at 11.

It's another post for the gluten-free ratio rally! And since I just watched Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol I thought I'd do it MI style!
The mission: tender gluten-free biscuits (bonus points if I can finish up the eggnog in the fridge)
The spy captain: Gretchen from the, always lovely, kumquat blog
Known accomplices: There are four main types of biscuits: rolled biscuits, drop biscuits, scones, and shortcakes. True to their name, rolled biscuits are gently rolled out and folded in several iterations. The result is a light and fluffy layered type of biscuit. Drop biscuits, on the other hand, usually have a wetter dough that is too moist for kneading or rolling and are spooned directly onto the baking sheet. Scones are usually cut into wedges and are sweeter than traditional biscuits. Shortcakes can be either biscuits or scones that are sliced in half and filled or topped with whipped cream and fruit.
Cipher (ratio): 3 flour: 2 liquid: 1 fat
The strategy: Since my first attempt at biscuits (cabernet biscuits with pecorino and thyme) didn't go over well with anyone but me (grrrr), I took a step back and set out to make a more traditional flavor. But when I consulted the fridge, I saw the eggnog looming out at me, so I resolved to make an eggnog biscuit. The result was a flaky, slightly sweet biscuit scented with nutmeg.
These biscuits went over much better than the cabernet biscuits and paired extremely well with the sweet potato butter we picked up in Seattle (and perhaps a glass of spiked eggnog).
eggnog biscuits with grated nutmeg
makes 10-12 biscuits
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Toss frozen grated butter in the dry ingredients until coated with flour. Add eggnog and incorporate using a fork. Pat dough together until it forms a rough ball. Turn dough out onto a piece of parchment or wax paper. Lightly flour the parchment paper if your dough seems too wet. Place a second piece of parchment on top. Roll dough out until it is about 1/2 in. thick. Trim edges to make a rectangle.
Fold dough in half over itself and repeat the process 4 times. Cut biscuits using a floured biscuit cutter. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, cut biscuits into equal-sized squares. Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet. You want the biscuits to rise up and not out. Bake for 14 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Transfer to a serving basket for immediate enjoyment. Serve with your favorite spread and a glass of spiked eggnog!

These look *amazing!!!* Those layers. Nice folding work. ;) And I love the flavor combo. Just can't get enough nutmeg during winter.

Holy layers! I believe that must be from the folding, however I couldn't quite get that even when I did it. Perhaps the xanthan gum was necessary as well? I'm gum free now, and I didn't try a replacement for it. I'll have to experiment and see if I can achieve such beauty in my biscuits.
Did you chill between each folding and rolling and rechill before baking? I found so much working with the dough would make the butter warm up too much and then the biscuits would spread a bit more in the oven. Thoughts?

Hi Amanda!
I suspect the xanthan did help to strengthen the bonds in the dough. I still haven't tried psyillium husk, but that might help too.
I didn't chill the dough between rolling and folding, but since the butter was grated and prefrozen, I just worked quickly (and tried to avoid touching the dough with my hands as much as possible). I'd imagine on Maui, you might have to chill bettween rolling sessions if it is warm. (Lately it has been in the 30s/40s in California!). Also, baking the biscuits close together helps the biscuits bake up and not out. Let me know if that works for you!

Lisa, you got a deal! Maybe we can do some shortcakes. :)

I think I would like an eggnog biscuit in one hand and a Cabernet-pecorino-thyme biscuit in the other for a biscuit taste-off! Great job on the Rally this month!
what a brilliant way to use extra eggnog after the holidays. i love your square biscuits and the photos are beautiful. and what an honor... sky captain. now i need to see the movie! :)
Oh my ... these are incredible!!!! I would LOVE these biscuits - and I love how FLAKY they look. Oh. Yum!

I recognize a little Alton Brown in there, I think - the folding. Those looks awesome and I'm impressed with that neat little rectangle. I can tell you bake for a bakery cause you don't make a huge mess. I'll make you some if you make me some - those look very yummy. btw, also loved the cab biscuits.
These look a-mazing, Charissa! From the photos to the recipe, my mouth is watering. Thank you for sharing!
These are so pretty! And I love that they're rectangle! I don't think I've ever seen biscuits done that way, but I'll have to try it!
Wow! I've never had eggnog before but I'd be willing to try it with the promise of these biscuits made from what's left!

Caleigh. Eggnog is a classic holiday drink here in the states. They sell it at the grocery stores, but Alton Brown has a pretty good recipe if you wanted to make it from scratch!

Decorating Tip
Live plants act as natural air filters and some plants — spider plants, Boston ferns, rubber plants and palm trees — are particularly effective absorbers of chemical pollutants emitted from carpets, furniture and electronic equipment. Adding fresh flowers and plants to your bedroom helps with the natural cycle of carbon dioxide and oxygen, improving the overall air quality in your bedroom.
