This is an amazing sight and close by is another waterfall rio malo, san rafael is a must see as it will no longer be as big as pictured due to hidro damns upstrema so if you egt a chance go and visit!
I have visited many beautiful waterfalls and this one was ok. The trail to reach it was muddy, slippery, and challenging at times. If your goal is a morning trek in nature, then go for it. There were nice pools that the locals were enjoying.
I really enjoyed viewing this waterfall of nearly 500 ft in height. Sadly it may be de-watered soon. If you have the chance visit now before it is gone. I kayaked the Rio Quijos down to the dam above the waterfall. The dam will only cover up one class II rapid but it will also effectively dewater the waterfall.
I've visited here 4 times, saddens me that this will be gone when the Coco-Sinclair dam upstream on the Rio Quijos is completed, nice easy hike, beautiful views, nice photo opportunity, they were requiring passports or photo ID last time I was there so bring ID.
We saw quite a few waterfalls around Banos, but this one is amazing! Just gigantic! Loved it! And the hike to get there is really nice (nice track, great surroundings, fun bridges!).
The road was significantly better than we were lead to believe and the sites along the way were beautiful. The waterfall was gorgeous.
My dream was to go there but the road was close and nobody tell as anything o any information about these matter
The waterfall was closed since the bridges to reach it had fallen because of the weather. Must visit this in my next trip.
From the small town of Baeza, it's about 1.5 -2.5 hours to get to the waterfall San Rafael with a step-over in el chaco. The drive is through beautiful scenery, but still, it's quite a long drive for what turned out to be only a short hike to the viewpoint of the waterfall.
The hike is through a lush and...
We visited the waterfall early morning. Be prepared, as it is tropical and warmish... For those that are walkers, it took less than 45 minutes to get to the waterfall from the entrance. We crossed a couple of foot bridges with smaller waterfalls. The foliage is green and vibrant. We saw lots of butterflies and flowers.

leftover mulberry scionwood?
Bruce_in_ct(6 - CT)May 27, 2013
It's kind of late, but does anyone have dormant mulberry scionwood you'd be willing to send for an SASE? I found a white mulberry weed and would like to top it with something having a track record, whether a named variety like IE or just something you've found to be especially good, preferably in the Northeast.
As an alternative to the SASE route, if you don't mind waiting to receive your half of the trade, I can send you fig/pawpaw cuttings or ornamental bulbs, rhizomes, seeds, etc in the fall. Thanks.

I have one short fat White Ivory,a little thicker than a pencil,with a couple buds and a skinny Wellington,if those will work. Brady

For clarification, I'd like to say my review is for the Medium-Deep cream and not the Light option... That said, I really like this product.
I've used this cream for 13 days exactly and I have a few bones to pick.
First, I haven't noticed any firming from this cream what so ever. I feel this is yet another empty selling point that so many lotions/creams/products advertise. If you're hoping for a firming cream, you may be disappointed, YMMV. I'm not miffed with the lack of results when it comes to the firming claim since I didn't expect any firming, but I don't think it should be included if it doesn't live up to it...
Second, I feel the claims make the same point several times. Brightens & Illuminates, Evens Skin Tone, and Minimizes the Appearance of Imperfections are all the same to me. After using this product for almost two weeks, I haven't noticed any lasting improvement in my skin without the cream.
Having picked those bones with the advertising, I do like this product. I'm always skeptical when it comes to multiple claim products so I always read/watch reviews by others to make my decision to purchase or not. I was looking for a product to add a bit of realistic glow to my skin, something to diffuse the imperfections and add a bit of brightness to my complexion and that's EXACTLY what I got. This is why I like this cream. I didn't expect to see any lasting affects after I showered, so I'm not disappointed with the product itself, I'm just not happy with the advertising. I feel like the people at Jergens are setting themselves up for customer complaints with this one...
If you're looking for a lightweight product to add a bit of dewy sheen to your skin that lasts until you wash it off, this may be for you. It lightly illuminates your skin and softens imperfections without being shimmery or unbelievable. It adds just the right amount of oomph to your complexion without covering up freckles or beauty marks, in fact there is no coverage that I can see. There is no rub-off or depositing onto clothing, which is great. If you're wanting a simple luminizer for your skin, give this a shot, just choose the Medium-Deep option since it seems the Light shade doesn't do much based on others' reviews. For $12.00 (USD) it's worth it in my opinion and I'll keep purchasing unless I find something better, it's not bad for what it is, just don't believe the advertising hype.

For all the claims this makes, this fell very short of expectations. It gives some moisture without being greasy and that's about it. It has a faint fragrance that smells nice. But no firming or added color/glow or improvement in skin appearance was seen. Very basic overpriced moisturizer.

I haven't used this product very much and it's basically collecting dust on my bathroom counter. I used it a couple times on my face because that's really the only part of my body that needs correcting and I hate bb creams. Too thick and oily. So anyways, I decided to read some reviews here to see if it did anything for anybody else, and then maybe I would have gave it another shot. I have an even tone all over but I was really hoping this would tighten up my pores before applying foundation. It did an alright job, but I have oily skin and I don't really need the "moisturizing" effects.
I got a full size bottle of this for free in the mail, but I don't think I'd ever purchase it if I ran out, it's a little pricey for a body lotion.
Anyways, I don't understand why so many people reviewing this are complaining about it's "tanning" effects. This product does not claim to be a self tanner, and is not meant to darken your skin tone. If you get a shade darker or lighter than your skin tone then it obviously isn't going to "even out" your skin tone.

This review is for the Light skin tone cream. Not too keen on the scent. And it didn't do anything for me. It didn't even my skin tone or do anything beyond what a normal moisturizer does. So, I'll pass on this one. Maybe I'll try the darker version, but I prefer a tanning lotion that keep you tan for longer than one day.

Out of ALL of the body creams or lotions I've tried (and I've tried MANY), this is my absolute favorite! Jergens BB Body (Light) does exactly as promised:
1. Hydrates and smoothes.
2. Brightens and illuminates.
3. Evens skin tone.
4. Visibly firms skin.
5. Minimizes appearance of skin imperfections.
I honestly did NOT think that a body cream could deliver all of the above results, but since first purchasing this about 8 months ago, I am amazed.
After applying in the evening, my skin is instantly softened, and feels like satin. After about a week of first using this, I noticed that my skin tone was evening out...my sun spots, discolorations and light freckling on chest and shoulders was diminishing. The overall clarity was improving and a few rough patches were also disappearing.
After about 4 weeks of continued use, I noticed a visible firming effect...on my thighs and hips, upper arms and stomach. The toning effects are cumulative; the longer you use this, the more pronounced the results become.
I wear shorts now and sleeveless tops and I cannot get over how comfortable I am in my own skin...like when I was in my 20's.
This is an absolutely incredible product, and I certainly hope it is NEVER discontinued!

I purchased this to apply to my legs instead of my usual self-tanner (Jergens Natural Glow). I noticed this product is pretty thick for a lotion, which makes it extremely moisturizing and soothing on just-shaved legs. But that's about it. I did not notice any other effects such as coverage, glow, color, etc. It was just an overpriced body cream. I re-purchased Jergens Natural Glow before I was able to use this stuff up because I missed the color it gives my legs. I will not repurchase.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I've always used jergen's natural glow but I hated the way it faded and could easily make me look orange(and fake in the winter) but I still liked to cover up my pasty skin. This is perfect because it gives you a glow-not a tan. The slightest touch of DHA gives this radiance to my skin--I've actually gotten a lot of compliments on it! Very, very natural looking and I would't be embarrassed looking like an ompa loompa this winter! I got the medium/deep one after reading reviews that the lighter one doesn't do much. Good job Jergen's!!!!

I got this in the medium-deep but I'm light-medium. I love the smell of it and it doesn't set off my migraines but it also doesn't do anything special. It's real expensive for a drugstore lotion-$12.00. I can't justify spending that much on a lotion that smells good.

I bought this in Light since I am pretty fair and I saw NO color correction, no improvement in anything, and nothing special. This wore like a typical Jergens body lotion. The scent is the ONLY thing I would repurchase this for. It smells like my favorite BBW scent Twilight Woods.
Some Youtubers rave about this but I don't get the hype. It's a lotion that did nothing for me personally. An expensive one at that as well. A normal size tube of this is $13. Ridiculous for drugstore. I will stick with BBW with their sales and get much better body creams for less, yes less.

I've been using this for about a week now and I have to say....I'm not at all impressed. I really wanted to like this, but I just don't. Perhaps I was expecting too much from a 5-in-1 cream. Regardless, I don't think this is anything special. The consistency is light and it comes out of the tube tinted although the color disappears instantly upon massaging onto the skin; it's not a 'color guide.' The scent is mild and not entirely unpleasant.
I'm fair-skinned and purchased the medium-deep formulation. There is perhaps the most faint suggestion of added color over the past week, but nothing as pronounced as the original Jergens Natural Glow.
Hydration: OK, a little hydration. 2 lippies.
Illuminate: Not even a little bit
Even: Not at all
Firm: No additional firming action
Correct: No color or imperfection correction
In all, I think a self tanner plus moisturizer would better achieve the effects I was looking for. My HG self tanner for 2 years now is Tarte Brazilliance, so I think I'll just go back to using that regularly.

Really nice and loving the fit… South jersey!!!! Lol
i see where she's going! not bad…
I Love that her clothes fit her so well!!! Nothing too short, or revealing… but still sexy. And those CURVES!!!! Curves for days, and her clothes flatter each and every one!
She's a curvy girl that is aware of how to dress her body. I think she does a good job with that. However, I feel like everyone is doing the same thing with hair and makeup.
I can only cosign on the black and white skirt look..HOT!
No ma'am on the sandals & socks combo. But otherwise, cute looks.
I can't see past her eye brows.
Her clothes fit well and were very complimetary. I'm not feeling socks and sandals, but it works for her. Kudos for being different.
Really cute, I like her style..I can see where she was trying to go with the socks, but the shoes were wrong…
She is gorgeous! I love her looks
I like that she dresses for her body type, but her style is very trendy.
nice – headed to the blog.
Hm I like the pieces but would like to see them paired different. Love the black n white look. Yea girl nay on the socks and 70s sliver slang backs……
Very nice! Her brows are way too dark, but she is still serving.
Outfits 4 & 5 are nice.
The look with the striped skirt is really nice, the rest…meh
@ohyeah – LOL! I thought I was the only one heavily distracted by the eyebrows…
Ditto @ohyeah and justsayin…they were Serious! Her style is very nice once you get past the brows though.
Her eyebrows are doing something to me that I do not like (0_0)
But otherwise she is FAB!! Bombshell for sure!!!
I had to stare at each photo for several minutes just to get past her eyebrows. I voted "hits and misses".
Hahahaha! Just read the other comments and realized we all had the "eyebrow issue"! This goes to show how important eyebrows are to one's look. She's a pretty girl, but her brows are so fake and overdone.
Nice style. I love the hound's tooth and royal blue look.
I think her style is overall nice. Her hair is on point and the picture quality is great.
Her style is impeccable. Love! Love! Love!
I loooooove her and she reppin jersey!!!The black and white number is my fav
nice looks, she def knows how to compliment her figure. those brows are distacting from her pretty face
She represents Jersey well! I am in love with that striped skirt.
Loved it all. would have loved to see one other hair look but really no complaints. Also, I dislike bombshells that don't wear makeup. I thought this girl did a good job showing the bare-faced girls that you can look great going ALMOST barefaced. Great stuff!
love love love the black and white with the pink pumps. I'm a little confused by the electric blue skirt look with the brown pumps. Nice looks that I could work with.
Cute! Going to check out her blog.:)
I dont like that Socks and heels, or the socks and sandals.. everything else is nice
Oh wow I have almost the exact outfit, the houndstooth peplum with the cobalt blue skirt, that is so peculiar. But her style is pretty cool. I like!
The peplum 'fit was nice. Hope she's coping well with the Sandy aftermath.
Photoshop on the pics lol!
I actually like every outfit…I love her curves.
I love her plaid blazer.
FABULOUS !! She looks great like her style a lot
I like the houndstooth peplum with the royal pencil skirt, I wasn't too sold on everything else
Sooooo was i the only who tried to look at her outfits but kept looking right at her eyebrows?
Love Love Love.
very cute but those eyebrows geesh!!!
Love her style, it's very cute.
She's killing it with the black and white skirt. Not really feeling the other looks. I love her body though:)
I dig.
It's great that you know how to dress for your shape, the fits are perfect. I like! x
Go easy on the brows!!! Some pieces are great…others, not so much! hit or miss!
Cute style, but I wouldn't describe it as "eclectic."
Cute girl! Because of her body type should be cautious about how she layers. Layering sometimes adds bulk. Love the black peplum top!

Do You Yahoo? Er, ahh, Do you FRY!?
Yes, fry!
I was in someone's house recently. They had obviously fried some din-din recently. Or maybe not so recently.
I realized it's been so long that I've fried something in my home that I don't think I've ever done it. Definately not in this house (been here 12 years) and definitely never deep fried. I don't even have a greasy kitchen on the few times a year I get around to realizing it might be time to dust.
I remember early on I came home and DH was trying to cook crab chimichangas from a recipe his friend made. I spent the next month being disgusted with the smell of oil in the house. That might have been the last time.
Do people fry things anymore?
Do those French fry cookers stink up the house and make the air and kitchen heavy with grease?
Who fries chicken? I realize someone must, since it's so delicious. Then, how do you get rid of the heavy air?
Or, are you used to it like people get used to cigarette smoke or (I'm guilty here:) cat litter?
So. What do you fry?
What do you fry in? Pans or oil type?
What do you fry?
[whisper] is it delicious?
I fry but not everyday. I fry chicken, eggs, hamburger, pork sausage, etc. in a pan on the stove. How else would you cook this stuff? I use Coconut or olive oil, or butter. I have made crullers in lard. I would love to get a deep fryer.
I turn on the range hood when cooking so the smells travel outside.
Ok. I'll bite:
chicken: I don't know how one does that.
eggs: since I scramble, you must be talking about those things that stare at you. My dad made those, but it was in a tiny bit of butter, just so they didn't stick. Then they invented Teflon.
hamburger: broil or grill
pork sausage: grill, or for jambalaya or spaghetti, I nuke it in a colander over a bowl to cook out the grease.
etc: that's why I'm asking! :)
crullers: OMG. Delish. You can buy lard? Or do you save it from roasts, for example?
Range hood; Doesn't the grease land on things, anyway?
BTW. I'm not being obtuse. I really have no idea how one deals with the by-products of the method, although I've partaken happily of the end results!
I too Fear the Fry. I almost never deep-fry anything, for three reasons: 1) the oil can make a big mess; 2) the oil can be stinky; 3) if I felt more comfortable frying, there's a good chance I would make fried foods at home every single day (doughnuts, samosas, chicken, loukoumades, sopaipillas, egg rolls...).
We have friends who own a deep-fryer, though, and one night recently, they brought it over for a churro party. It was delightful, and I don't remember it stinking up the house too badly. It definitely was nice to use something with a built-in thermometer and grease containment device.
Of course, yesterday, after I told my son he could choose any meal he liked for getting a good report card, he asked if it could be dessert, any dessert he liked. I said, sure, whatever you like. He paused and said, "well, I might need to buy you a deep fryer..." Not quite sure what he's got planned but I like the way he thinks!
My first choice would be to use the outdoor gas grill (but it has been too snowy and/or cold here in the Midwest). Second choice is to broil. If I am too tired, my third choice is to fry using canola or extra virgin olive oil.
Last week I made an adaptation of Rachel Ray's Caccatorie Burgers. I use a wonderful splatter screen that has an odor absorbing filter inside it to cover the skillet. My son gave me that at Christmas 2012. The first time I used it was with frying fish. It is a marvel how it captures smells so they do not linger. In fact, the only way anyone knew I was making fish was when smells escaped when I lifted the screen to turn the fish over. The screen is dishwasher safe but I usually hand wash it. My vent is a recirculating one. :( That is one of the things I will most enjoy changing when we can reno our kitchen!
I am having difficulty getting the URL to properly copy for anyone interested in the splatter screen. Just go to bedbathandbeyond.com and search for Splatter Screen 13-Inch Odor Absorbing with Collapsible Handle. It is a keeper.
I have never deep-fried anything.
Types of things I fry, in either a cast-iron or nonstick pan:
Hamburger patty. It goes straight into a hot pan, no extra oil. I like the regular kind of hamburger because it tastes good. There's some grease splatter on the stove top. Since I have a white enamel stove, it's easy to clean up. Range hood/fan pulls the airborne stuff and smells up up and away.
Fried eggs, in butter. Over hard.
Meat (chuck roast, chicken, pork chops, etc.) that need a sear but will be finished by a non-fry method.
The occasional sausage.
Lots of veggies, but I guess that's more of a saute.
Edited to add: Bacon, but always in the microwave.

I generally fry once a year and that is on Thankgsgiving when we fry a few turkeys. We invested in an indoor electric turkey fryer a few years ago as the propane ones can be a little dangerous. However, even though the fryer can be used in the house we still use it in the garage. It leaves a lingering fried turkey smell in the garage for days but at least it's not in my house Sometimes we will do chicken wings in the same fryer, again in the garage. Other than that no frying, but I do saute pretty often and that can make a mess too.
Oh yes, I definitely fry, though rarely do I deep fry. The only time I have a pan full of oil is if my husband is making his beignets.
I make egg rolls and wonton chips but I only put about a half inch of oil in my skillet to cook them, turning frequently to cook all sides and keeping the lid on in between to reduce splatters.
I do sauté chicken and vegetables, especially for things like fajitas. My tortillas only take a quick spray of Pam to cook so they aren't fried.
We have a wok that my husband cooks stir fry in.
If it is to cold to use the grill outside, he uses the griddle inside to cook burgers. Thankfully our griddle has a fat run off area so the burgers aren't just sitting in their own fat while they cook.
I also fry my grilled cheese sandwiches. To me, it isn't a grilled cheese sandwich if you haven't put some butter on the outside and tossed it in a frying pan.
I haven't ever noticed a smell the next day and no one coming over has ever mentioned being able to smell anything so I guess I'm good.
We do get splatters on the stove top which we clean off when we are done cooking but we try to minimize them by keeping a lid over the pan as much as possible.
I never considered a grilled cheese or bacon to be fried, but I guess they are! And a grilled cheese with butter. Is there any other way to make that?!?
I saw a restaurant sign in Annapolis yesterday. It said, "We have bacon and we're not afraid to use it!"
Far from original, but I burst out laughing.
By the way. Cookie dough egg rolls!? Are you HOLDING OUT ON US?
I know, at first I thought the same thing but technically frying is just cooking something in fat or oil.
Do others really NEVER use fat or oil in their pan before they throw their meat or veggies in? I can't imagine cooking without the extra tastiness!!
Goodness...I suppose I "fry" quite a bit. Really, I guess it would be more correct to say that I saute a lot.
Tonight - I used a bit of flour that I seasoned well to coat chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces, put in a a bit of coconut oil in a fry pan and seared chicken before it went into a pot of slowly simmered diced tomatoes, red and yellow peppers, and onion with a bunch of spices. But yeah, that chicken was sauteed.
I don't use teflon pots or pans really. So, a small amount of oil of some sort is often called for when cooking.
Now my bacon, oddly enough, I don't fry. Instead, I bake it in the oven. Oh yeah, and I save the fat that was rendered off while baking it to use a bit of it when cooking to add flavor also.
I don't use Teflon either.
Most people don't know it but if you read the fine print on Teflon pans they give a warning about birds. The fumes they produce can kill birds. I had a pet bird (who has since passed away) when I purchased my pans so I made certain to purchase all stainless steel cookware. Combined with my grandmothers saladmaster pots and pans from the 60s, I have never had a need for Teflon.
I pan-fried a couple of steaks recently. We were living in a rental condo while our house was being built. It had a microwave vent hood (totally worthless, unless LOTS of noise is your goal!). Even though it was cold outside, I had to open doors and windows to get the smoke and the smell out. The smell took days to completely dissipate.
Generally, if I have to fry something like sausage, I do it in an electric skillet on the patio, or on the side burner of the gas grill (both were in storage when I had my steak-cooking episode). Bacon gets cooked in the oven. You still get the smell of cooking bacon in the house, but it is not as strong as it is when bacon is cooked on the stove top. Plus, the splatters are contained in the oven.
I bought the same vent hood for the new house that I had in the old house. I have the Zephyr Typhoon -850 CFM. It does a good job of drawing smells and grease out of the house.
FWIW, I read somewhere that your vent hood will be more efficient if you turn it on about 5 minutes before you start cooking.
I guess it depends on what your definition of fry is. If it is sauteing onions in a tbs of oil for soup or curry or stir fried veggies also in a Tbs of oil, then YES, all the time! There are many many things I "fry" starting with a shallow pan and a Tbs of oil. When I make pad thai or chicken curry I even fry the meat (brown) also with a small amount of oil (Tbs or less). I fry (brown) the meatballs for sauce. Same for baked penne (italian sausage and peppers get fried/browned up before going in the bake). many others.
As far as deep frying, with inches of oil in a pan.....maybe once a year for the super bowl or something.
Wanted to add I do use a splatter screen. I consider putting anything in a pan on a heat source to be frying. Without without added oil.
How would you cook ground up hamburger or pork sausage. Not patties but ground up? Yes you could use the MW but it comes out much better in a pan and I don't need to add oil.
Lard. Had a hard time finding pure lard. I found a sausage/meat company that butchers hogs for their meats and then renders their own lard. I buy it from them.
Lard is actually not bad for you. You have to google but you can find the story about how lard got a bad rap all because crisco wanted in on the market and developed "shortning".
I love home fried potatoes and they were a standard for breakfast. Fried eggs in butter and bacon. Grew up on lard, my kids on fried food. Nothing really deep fried. Except when I got into homemade doughnuts years ago. Most meat is oven roasted and thankful for barbeques in all seasons. Recent events have changed my appeal for anything fried. I do love and use butter on my veggies though.
I don't have any Teflon, either. Back in the day (I hate that expression) it was a Godsend, though.
I don't add any fat to meet. And hamburger in the pan I've always known as "browning." Now, if I do chopped onions first, I do add some butter, but that's "softening" or "sautéing."
The aroma of bacon in a house is heaven. I don't cook bacon. I buy it in a bag at BJ's. but then, I don't have a need for strips, just crumbles.
Coffee, espresso and bacon smell far better than they taste. I adore both, right up there with Reese's cups and cookie dough, but the aroma is far better. Getting to consume them is just a bonus.
Deep frying?? Oh yeah.
Big ol'strong range hood right over the fryer seems to do the trick. My range hood pulls enough CFM it can seal the doors shuts, so not much oil and grease is getting into the house (and my father made sure I installed vents with minimal ridging to minimize accumulation, and my range hood also has built-in, replaceable (and washable) filters. So I just pop those out every so often and replace/clean. Makes a huge difference.
My old house, you could tell they always deep fried on the stove top and there was no range hood...ceiling yellowed over time.
And my deepfryer (T-fal) also has a built-in filter from where it vents. I've got that covered. ;)
What have I deep fried??
Fish in a crispy batter, I can make those amazing donuts you find at the fair all covered in cinnamon and sugar, I deep fry regular donuts stuffed with jam fillings, fry french fries (from home grown potatoes with the skins on...amazing). Deep fry chicken wings (amazing). Sometimes we deep fry perogies (little cheese and potato filled dumplings). We've made home-made chips in the deep fryer...hash brown patties that taste like McDonalds. My mom loves to batter asparagus and deep fry it....Corn dogs of course. These 'cookies' we call 'nothings' that are light and crispy and covered in icing sugar...Onion rings. Gawd deep fried onion rings are amazing....
Sorry to say, you're missing out! You may outlive me, but I'm a happy, happy woman ;) (and thankfully me and the DH are those freaks who never put on any weight...I swear we should be a thousand pounds the way we cook!)
Christine- lol - I did think of you when I posted about that last night. I'll link that thread below.
We're vegetarians, but I do saute many things as illinigirl describes above. I'm glad we now have a functional hood above the range to deal with that.
Here is a link that might be useful: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Eggrolls
We saute or stir fry often, shallow fry sometimes (e.g. making latkas or a potato and chickpea chat in a half inch of oil). We deep fry occasionally - mainly to make falafel, occasionally a fritter or doughnut.
None of that leaves a lingering odor - we have a good vent hood that we turn on whenever we fry or saute. That takes care of most of the grease - put the filter baffles into the dishwasher occasionally to clean.
Any splatters are easily wiped up from the rangetop front and the quartzite counter. I usually use a large wok when I deep fry and most of the splatters stay within the wok.
awnmyown, oh, pleeeeeeze. Live longer? HEALTH!?
You must be (relatively?) new 'round here or you'd know I am renown for living months at a time on espresso and Reese's Cups. Last 2 months it was espresso and tubs of cookie dough. I never, ever, mentioned anything about health or living longer. THE last thing on my list.
I recently had something interesting happen tho. Reminds me of that statement, but is a tangent in itself.
Because I've taught yoga for decades, people assign their own stereotypes to me. Although I'm comforted to know the principles are ingrained in my being and psyche, more physical assumptions just don't fit. Students assume I must be veggie. (Was for 10 years for fat reasons. Until my dietician said, "Oh, that roll is the low fat belly of the 90s.") Gave that up for fat reasons.
I go to Longhorn every Friday for years and have an 18oz Ribeye (RARE!), mashed taties with bacon, sometimes a salad with bacon, and a glass of wine. If I'm feeling frisky, maybe two. Then I go home. No life with 3 jobs.
Other assumptions about made about anyone who long-term practices yoga I debunk are: I drink a little wine. If I remember correctly, I used to like sex. I wear high heels. I do not carpool. I recycle only if it means burying paper in the garden for lasagna gardening composting. I hate to sit still. "Relax" is not in my yogic vocabulary.
My own reasons for not doing junk food (other than listed above) fast food (I will love it) or snack food are kind of "eh". But, I also don't smoke anything, don't do drugs, don't jump out of planes or spelunker are simply because I don't care.
I gotta die of something.
I just don't like the heavy air and stench of grease inside.
Speaking of health, my jowls are watering over that recipe. (Did I just use the word "Jowls?") I might have to make this at a friend's house. So mine doesn't smell like oil. We'll have to make extra, 'cause I'm gonna eat the cookie dough. It's inevitable.
you can't tell me you've never walked into a house and been hit in the face with old grease smell.
There's a difference between delicious cooking smells (bacon and coffee, for example) and old grease. Particularly when it's hot inside, the air is heavy, and it's thick to breathe with the smell.
I'm with CEF on the smell thing. While it's cooking and while I'm eating the finished product, the odors of cooking don't bother me...not even cruciferous vegetables. But once I leave the house and come back in, I do not want to smell stale odors from cooking.
I read once that if you were trying to get rid of cooking odors, you should put a saucepan with 1:1 white vinegar and water on one of the eyes to simmer. I've done that. All I discovered was a different cooking odor. Like someone was making salad dressing and warming it on the stove. It wasn't great, and sure beat the smell of fried food, but it was pungent in its own way.
Edited to replace !:! with 1:1

CEFreeman, I think you're my NEW best friend!! Omg, I love reese and since my new oven went in, it's cookie-dough from the bag as I *try* in vain to get it on that cookie sheet and into the oven. Oh so many fails ;)
But like Legallin, I actually love the smell of french fries in the deep frier and such. But I grew up with my mom doing that all the time. I guess those range hoods always pulled the "stench" out enough for me, and I maybe it's a little cultural?? What we grew up with, so it smells like home?
Or maybe these folks aren't rotating their oil enough?? I always filter mine before storage (if I'm reusing), refrigerate and replace often. We also only leave the oil out long enough to cool and then place it in glass jars. I like to think all of that helps...
Certainly no grease stains on my parents' ceiling after 25 years in the house and my mom fries daily at least.
Or the type of oil?? We've always been a canola oil family, so maybe it's lower odor??
...wonder what deepfried cookie dough would taste like?? ;)
...especially if it was wrapped around a reese peanut butter cup... ;)
Never deep fry, but my wife sautes, pan fries, and browns pretty often. We have a splatter shield that works really well to prevent mess. It also prevents odors since the grease doesn't get in the air.
My wife is an excellent cook, but I have no idea what I'm doing in the kitchen. One Saturday right after Julie and Julia came out my wife was out of town and I decided to make Juila's Boeuf bourguignon. The recipe is about 5 pages long and requires browning virtually every ingredient in butter and bacon fat. It took me 6 hours, I think I used every dish in the kitchen, and there was grease on EVERYTHING. Like so much grease that the floors were slippery. I also drank a martini while I cooked, and then another, and another (did I mention it took a LONG time to make this). By the time I finally sat down to dinner at 10:30, I was drunk as a skunk and covered in grease.
Oh, where is the LIKE button for edb2n's post. That was hilarious!
My mom was never much of a drinker. She would sip on the same Tom Collins from New Year's Eve until the following Christmas. One day she decided she wanted to see what everyone else saw in alcohol. She proceeded to get plastered and nearly burned the kitchen down cooking supper. I don't think Daddy told the insurance folks exactly how the fire started. (To make this relevant, I'm sure she was frying something. She fried everything!)
Our electric turkey fryer stays in the garage with the garage door open, and if I deep fry anything other than a turkey (I have a killer recipe for curried deep fried won-tons), it's outside, on the side burner of our grill.
I pan fry in our kitchen fairly often, but that doesn't make much smell / spatter compared to deep frying. Good thing, because our wimpy recirculating range hood is mainly only good for making noise, as noted above.
I should probably look into a spatter shield for our grill though, because it is a mess!
Incidentally, the beef was fantastic! It's my favorite meal now (though my wife cooks it instead of me). And I managed to sober up enough to clean up the mess before she got home.
Bbstx: frying and alcohol don't mix! Although I believe Julia Child was known to take an occasional nip from the wine she was cooking with
It reminds me of the chimichanga story of my ex-DH.
there is no such thing as off-topic here. It involves kitchens, food, cooking -- or not -- how we do what we do and maybe even why we do what we do.
I'm still dying over the being covered with grease.
Do any of you actually remember learning how to cook? The things we take for granted, which make some of the stories all together more funny?
Should I tell you the story of me making paella for the first time as a very young, just out of collage on my own girl? (No, I was never that young...) With the octopus? No grease or oil involved....
Totally related but definitely off topic...my dad uses the old oil for fueling his car. He has one of those old Mercedes that has been converted to accept oil as fuel. My sisters and I make fun of him and have re-dubbed his car "French Fry Mobile". He's a bit picky about his oil though....he gets it from some high end restaurant that cleans their oil every other day. He says that their oil runs cleaner and is better for his car. I don't deep fry but my dad certainly loves his oil.
Another totally off topic about oil: do you ever Oil Pull? I just started and am intrigued to see if I feel any health benefits.
Ah OIL, the deep dark lovely secrets of those who do or don't use it :)
Man I really hijacked this thread now.......
This is a hysterical thread. I think some of us are more sensitive to grease odors, I can't stand them myself and can always smell when someone has been frying. There is a local seafood place that is famous and I won't go in the door anymore because every time I have been there I came home smelling like grease. My clothes and my hair had to be washed immediately. We try and cook anything smelly or messy on the grill, the side burner is great. I even steam shrimp outside, it is not just greasy odors that bother me. Much as love to eat cookie dough and the cookies themselves, I hate the smell of them cooking. Go figure.

Off-the-shelf options may rule the roost when it comes to mobile enterprise applications used by businesses and their employees. But there's a productive hen with the ability to lay golden eggs that's gaining greater prominence in this market: custom mobile apps that are fully or partially personalized, tailor-made, and paid for by a company to meet its particular business or mission needs.

"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."
"President" (2004)
"In the poem there are a number of questions that are addressed to the president. And the poem was a live question in the church. The Church is much invoked recently, so we put this question in the center, dead center, of the sanctuary. This church, like many, is symmetrical. The axes are important. We put this in the middle because the questions are central."

SKorean pop star Rain discharged from military
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korean pop sensation Rain is out of the military.
Under cloudy skies Wednesday, Rain fired off a crisp salute and thanked a large crowd of mostly media and women who'd gathered to commemorate his discharge after 21 months of mandatory service.
The fans held signs reading in Korean and English: "We waited for you" and "Rain's coming." One Japanese fan said she'd been waiting for more than a day to see the "entertainment soldier."
The 31-year-old served in an army unit that provides TV and radio programming that promotes the military.
Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, has made seven albums and acted in several South Korean and Hollywood films. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2011.
He hasn't said what his future plans are.
South Korea requires all able-bodied men serve about two to three years in the military, a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War.

I've tried the auto-speaker app, which automatically turns the speakers on once you have your phone away from your ear or any surface, but the idea of having the speaker on even when I'm just checking the screen on a call was kind of annoying. I want to still be able to decide whether the speaker should be on or not.
I'm using CM 10.1.2, but i'd flash any newer version of it if needed.
Any advices?
Thanks in advance.

Yelda was really nice, accommodating and welcoming! There's fruits and nuts upon my arrival. And she recommended and directed me to the places of my interest. The place and view is awesome! Room is cosy, not too small and true to the pictures. Definitely a great experience for a first time airbnb user! Venue is really central and £5 cab away from Paddington station . Her poodle is really friendly too :) Thank you for your hospitality! Would love to stay there again.
The stay at Yelda's beautiful, clean and impeccably decorated home was great. Her place is at a perfect and well-connected location and in a wonderful neighbourhood. Yelda herself is extremely nice and helpful and the best host you can imagine. I will certainly stay at her place again and warmly recommend anyone else to do so as well!
My mum was staying in the area for the wk end and she doesn't feel comfortable in Hotels. Yelda's proved to be the perfect solution.
Comfortable clean room with modern facilities and a fantastic host!
What more do you need! Highly recomended.
Lovely flat in an excellent location. I have really spent 2 pleasant days in. Yelda is a great host, very welcoming and friendly and informative about the area. He cared to make me feel confortable and she provided me with a great breakfast with the best fresh fruits you can find. Thanks Yelda
This was my first airbnb experience and I don't think it could have gone any better! Yelda is a great host, from the moment I got to her apartment she made me feel at home. We went for a walk around Little Venice where she showed me everything I needed to know during my stay. At the first night she made a delicious meal, which I still have to ask for the recipe! :) Plus her apartment is really cool, exactly like you see in the photos and her dog Brittany is so much fun! I had a great time at Yelda's place and would not think twice about staying there again!
My best time is spent with friends, traveling, cooking, reading, playing golf and ultimate frisbee. Based in London for the last 5 years with thorough enjoyment of the amazing streetscapes, shopping, museums, markets and theatre. Worked on refurbishing this flat over 2 years and love it's comfortable, bright, vibe.

Standards Life Investments, Edinburgh's largest fund manager, plans to buy more real estate stocks in the U.S. and Asia and sell some properties in Brazil and Poland to improve the performance of one of its funds.

Over the past four years, the Federal Reserve has become the most important branch of government. It has acquired unprecedented powers over almost all aspects of American life.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Looking at the images of Chinese typefaces brought me back to ATypI conference in Leipzig, where Dan Carr made some glyphs to demonstrate the craft of punchcutting. It was just beautiful, and gave me a better perspective, when I went to visit Enschedé Type Museum a week after.
I had a chance to hold in my hands the original punches of Didot Non Plus Ultra, and also the matrices made with them, and the final product: a catechismus printed in that font. The book was the size of a matchbox. I think that the type was between 2 and 3 points. Matrices were not individual, but instead they were made in single lines of text. Most impressive was the fact that I could easily recognize Didot even in that size and the rough paper.
It was made by Henry Didot somewhere after 1860, and was one his last works. It's too bad, that I could not bring my camera in the museum, because Enschedé is still printing money, so they are pretty pernickety about the rules…
I myself was lucky to visit the Imprimerie Nationale some years ago, and get a tour by Christian Paput of its various marvels, such as 120 pt as well as 4 pt punches! Even more memorable was my 5-hour visit to Jim Rimmer's place in 2008*, where the highlight for me was cutting a punch and striking it into brass. Jim was so gracious.

? Are you worried that your PS3 game disks may get damaged, lost, or stolen? Are you looking for a way to start burning PS3 games to create backups of your original game disks? Have you already tried making copies using the software that you traditionally use to copy music and videos? It didn't work, did it? That's because the manufacturers of the PS2 games knew you were going to try to create backup copies in case you damaged or lost your original games. To defeat that attempt, they integrated some copy protections into their PS2 game program. What you need is some sort of software that can bypass that copy protection and enable you to begin burning PS3 games. The good news is that some clever computer software developers tackled the problem, and that this much needed game copying software is now readily available. The one software most highly recommended for burning PS3 games by experienced gamers is one call Game Copying Wizard. Once you have acquired your copy of the Game Copy Wizard application, the only other things that you will need to begin burning PS3 game backups of your original PS3 games are a computer with a DVD burner and a supply of DVD blank disks. With all the needed equipment and supplies at hand, you can begin creating backups using the following steps. 1. Install and start the Game Copying Wizard application. 2. Insert the original game disk, and follow the instructions given onscreen. 3. Remove the original game disk when indicated. 4. Insert the blank DVD disk, and follow the instructions given onscreen to burn the game files to the DVD. 5. Remove the completed backup when indicated. As you can see, no rocket science was involved. You didn't have to be a computer geek, because the real computer geeks made it easy for you to start burning PS3 games. There are no longer any excuses; no reason to procrastinate. The sooner you get a copy of the Game Copying Wizard, the sooner you can start protecting your valuable PS3 games with backup copies. What is the best website to download xbox 360 games?

Elaine Riddick was 13 years old when she got pregnant after being raped by a neighbor in Winfall, N.C., in 1967. The state ordered that immediately after giving birth, she should be sterilized. Doctors cut and tied off her fallopian tubes.

I'm still trying to figure out what, if any, connection there is between Syria and Assyria.
Since the word Assyria CONTAINS the word Syria, it seems logical to me that there would be SOME kind of connection.
From what I understand, at one time, Syria and Assyria co-existed, but now there still is a country called Syria, but no longer a country called Assyria.
I've read that a large proportion of the population of Syria is Arab, with a section of the country

Less than a month after it stopped paying marketing margin to Reliance Industries, Anil Ambani Group firm Reliance Infrastructure has agreed to pay the levy, although under protest, and has asked the Mukesh Ambani firm to resume natural gas supplies to its power plant.
R-Infra on October 7 wrote to RIL saying it was instructing its "bank to effect full payment of the invoice (raised by RIL for supply of KG-D6 field gas to its Samalkot power plant) including the marketing margin element."
The company, which had paid USD 0.135 per million British thermal unit in marketing cost to RIL for over four months without protest, had on September 15 written to the Mukesh Ambani-firm saying it will no longer pay the "unauthorised and illegal" levy.
R-Infra defaulted on payment of Rs. 12 lakh in marketing margin on the 0.56 mmscmd gas supplied to Samalot in the first half of September, leading to RIL sending a notice of suspension of supplies.
"We request you to withdraw the suspension notice dated September 28 and confirm immediate resumption of the supply of gas," R-Infra vice-president Kamal Kant wrote to RIL.
On the same day, the Anil Ambani Group firm also wrote to ministries of power and petroleum informing of the decision and reiterating its position that the levy was "unauthorised and nothing but abuse of its (RIL's) monopolistic position."
An ADAG group spokesperson did not immediately offer any comments on the issue.

A U.S. Push on Accounting Fraud
By ALEX BERENSON
Published: April 9, 2003
A new emphasis at the Justice Department on accounting and securities fraud cases is already producing indictments and will almost certainly lead over the next several months to a wave of additional cases, according to prosecutors, defense lawyers and independent legal experts.
Nine months after President Bush ordered the formation of a federal task force to prosecute corporate fraud, the former chief executives of Enron and WorldCom, who have come to symbolize corporate corruption, have not been charged, and may never be.
But in other cases, federal prosecutors are moving aggressively to bring criminal charges for accounting gimmickry or securities fraud that in the past might not have been pursued.
Prosecutors and regulators were not willing to speculate about which companies might face criminal charges, or how many new cases might be brought. And they cautioned that securities cases, especially those where companies appear to have manipulated accounting rules to inflate their earnings, can be complicated and difficult to prove.
But they broadly agree -- and criminal defense lawyers concur -- that the Justice Department's commitment to pursuing fraud is serious, not just a public relations effort.
''These have become the hot, sexy cases,'' said Christine A. Bruenn, president of the North American Securities Administrators Association, a group of state and Canadian stock regulators that works with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with prosecutors. ''I think a lot of people have changed their focus in terms of how seriously they're taking these cases.''
Investigations that would once have been conducted solely by the S.E.C. now involve federal prosecutors and F.B.I. agents from the start, officials said.
The commission -- which in the 1990's had a difficult time persuading prosecutors outside Manhattan, Brooklyn and San Francisco to follow up on its referrals of potential fraud cases -- is now working with prosecutors in offices across the country. When there are accusations of serious fraud at companies based in states where prosecutors lack experience in accounting investigations, the Justice Department is dispatching specialists from Washington to help them.
All this is producing faster results. When prosecutors are convinced that they have clear evidence of fraud -- as at HealthSouth, the operator of rehabilitation hospitals and clinics, or Symbol Technologies, a Long Island manufacturer of bar-code scanners -- they quickly pursue indictments of midlevel and senior managers to prod them to turn in top executives.
Last month, for example, Robert Asti, a vice president at Symbol Technologies, pleaded guilty to helping inflate Symbol's sales and profit. In announcing the plea, prosecutors noted that the investigation into Symbol is continuing.
At the same time, the longer prison sentences provided by the Sarbanes-Oxley Law have become a strong incentive for lower-level managers to cooperate with prosecutors.
With the new priority given such cases, Ms. Bruenn said she expected many more criminal indictments in the next few years.
''My sense among regulators and prosecutors is that we're all rather surprised as to how much fraud is out there,'' she said.
Joel Seligman, dean of the Washington University law school and a historian of the S.E.C., agreed.
''There's been a lot more activity,'' Mr. Seligman said. ''You've seen it in the number of indictments. You've seen it in the focus on major cases. My impression is that you have a good deal of open cases going on where you're likely to see a good deal more.''
Defense lawyers agree on the trend but say it may have unintended consequences, like discouraging qualified people from serving as executives or directors at public companies and even harming prospective economic growth by discouraging private companies from selling shares to the public. ''Why would someone want to be a director and face all this potential exposure?'' said Ira Lee Sorkin, a former federal prosecutor and director of the New York office of the S.E.C. who is now a white-collar defense lawyer at Carter Ledyard & Milburn.
But Mr. Seligman said he thought such fears were groundless. Prosecutors appear to be bringing cases where fraud has resulted in large losses for investors and they have clear evidence of criminal intent by executives, he said.
''You want the Justice Department prosecuting appropriate cases,'' he said. ''So far, they've done a pretty effective job.''
Mr. Sorkin also expressed concern that the new punishments in fraud cases are overly strict. ''If a C.E.O. commits a willful fraud,'' he said, ''he can get 25 years. If he commits manslaughter, he's going to get 15.''
Seth T. Taube, who specializes in white-collar defense cases at McCarter & English, said that some investigations were being complicated by the early involvement of prosecutors and F.B.I. agents.
Increasingly, he said, those officials were sitting in on so-called proffer sessions -- meetings with his clients to discuss what they know about potential fraud cases -- that in the past would have involved only investigators from the S.E.C. The increased threat of criminal prosecution makes it hard for him to advise his clients to cooperate with investigators, Mr. Taube said.
But Wayne Carlin, director of the S.E.C.'s Northeast regional office, said he thought the threat of prison time made suspects much more willing to cooperate with investigations.
''Proffer sessions at a U.S. attorney's office are a better way of extracting the truth,'' Mr. Carlin said. ''The person coming in has an even more heightened sense of the stakes, and of the consequences.''
The Justice Department's focus on these cases is in marked contrast to its attitude a few years ago. Over the years, prosecutors have been intimidated by complex fraud cases, especially those that involve accounting, said Leslie Caldwell, who is heading the Justice Department task force investigating Enron.
''It was sort of fear of the unknown: Oh, no! Accounting fraud, and I don't know anything about accounting fraud,'' Ms. Caldwell said.
But prosecutors soon discover that many of the new cases -- if not the Enron case -- are relatively straightforward, once they have stripped away the accounting jargon, she said. And as they become more comfortable with accounting and learn how to explain it to juries, they are more willing to bring cases.
''You do one, and you see it is just fraud, and I can do a fraud case,'' Ms. Caldwell said.
Ms. Bruenn said she hoped that the increased threat of prosecution might deter executives from breaking accounting rules. The rampant gimmickry and fraud during the late 90's market bubble raised questions about the effectiveness of the S.E.C.'s penalties, she said.
''I think that the civil proceedings are somewhat of a deterrent because they're so expensive to the company,'' she said. ''But criminal prosecutions are the way to go.''
