Voting: As the corrupt, tyrant-dominated United Nations absurdly "observes" an American presidential election, vote stealers and bullies are surprisingly evident. Are our free elections as free as we think?
If ever there was a sleeping giant of an issue in America it is voter fraud. And if Tuesday's presidential election is as close as it looked mid-Tuesday, it may mean the rudest of awakenings.
In their new book, "Who's Counting? How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk," National Review's John Fund and former Justice Department election law specialist Hans von Spakovsky found rampant voter fraud in the U.S. — from a West Virginia sheriff and county clerk pleading guilty this year to changing an election result with phony absentee ballots to the overturning of a fraudulent 2005 Tennessee state senate vote.
And Americans already smell a rat, with 62% of voters believing electoral fraud to be at least somewhat common, according to a 2008 Cooperative Congressional Election Study, and a 2010 Rasmussen poll finding 82% favoring photo ID laws.
These were among the incidents of corruption, criminality and strong-arm tactics being reported within the Land of the Free on the day of perhaps America's most consequential election ever:
In Detroit, police were called when a Republican observer at a polling venue was chased away by a man claiming to have a gun.
PJ Media reported a GOP observer reporting three cases of fraud — all three victims being black — at a North Carolina precinct, including a woman in her 80s for whom someone else had apparently "requested, filled out and submitted an absentee ballot in her name" and another older, infirm woman who was brought to vote only to find records showing "that she had already voted earlier in the day."
The GOP observer reflected that "in a matter of 3-1/2 hours at a relatively slow precinct, we had three different cases of pretty obvious voter fraud."
In Ohio, four Toledo men were arrested and charged with stealing Romney signs, some quite large, with a Sheet Metal Workers union pickup truck, according to Instapundit.
Wisconsin State Senator Neal Kedzie's son was attacked while trying to stop his Romney/Ryan yard sign from being swiped early last Friday, as reported by Powerline.com. After being choked and struck repeatedly, Sean Kedzie was hospitalized.
NBC News on Election Day reported that an electronic voting machine was removed in Pennsylvania after a video showed it changing an Obama vote into one for Mitt Romney. "Republicans have also said machines have turned Romney votes into Obama ones," NBC said.
Terrorism: An Illinois National Guardsman sought to fight with Islamic State as his cousin plotted to kill scores at an Illinois National Guard facility. If they had succeeded, would President Obama call it workplace violence?President Obama's "JV" terrorist team has metastasized to the point where ...
Harry Reid: The Senate minority leader says he's retiring when his current term is up at the end of 2016 and is being lauded for his decades of public service. But we don't think the fulsome praise is warranted.Already the bouquets are being tossed. "Our children, grandchildren will grow up in a ...
Iran: The U.S. is giving away the store, the farm and the kitchen sink to Tehran while the terror regime retains nuclear bomb-making capability. For President Obama, a fabricated legacy trumps security.Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, writing in the New York Times last ...
Fiscal Policy: It says a lot about Washington addictions that when Republicans passed their budget resolution after 18 hours of debate Friday, Democrats and media began howling over "deep cuts" in social spending.Really? That's an almost comical charge, given that even the GOP budget would spend ...
Anyone wondering why foreign direct investment in China keeps declining — down last year at the sharpest rate since the 2008 financial crisis, according to the Financial Times — needs to look no further than the Beijing government's invidious treatment of foreign companies trying to do ...

Bazaarvoice, based in Austin, Texas, helps companies insert reviews and other customer-generated information on their websites. The transaction, which closed in June, hadn't been reported to regulators under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the Justice Department said in the statement.
This will cost them millions of dollars in legal bills, take a couple of years and if they lose, they have to divest the acquired company. This will cost the company considerably and if they were to win, they're out huge dollars, time and management focused elsewhere for two years. THEY HAVE TO WRITE A BLANK CHECK TO THE ATTORNEYS. Gov't has UNLIMITED resources.
It will cost them a fortune - and they are tight on paying consultants - they're going to take it up the wazzo!!

Big mistake?
So I was in Home Depot the other day, picking up some odds and ends and just happened to walk through the Garden Center. For 100 bucks there was a gorgeous 8 ft. tall Oshio Beni. Three others, for the same price, were barely 5 ft tall; I just couldnÂt resist. HereÂs the thing though, they are hardy to zone 5b and I live in 5a (which is just barely removed from 4b). Now, I know that the large home stores are not the best places to buy trees, since they are typically ordered in bulk from parent stores in different locations. But like I said, I just couldnÂt resist this large, beautiful, fully branched Japanese maple that now looks great next to my house. My question is, how do I keep the thing alive during the winter? Obviously, due to itÂs size I canÂt bring it in. Does the fact that it is so large have anything to do with how well it can tolerate a string of sub-zero winter days?
Yes you do have a bit of a problem should hasve bought the smaller ones and contanerized ;>) but who amoung us would have spent the same moola on a smaller tree ...NOT I.. So what to do now ... well find a really protected area away from prevailing winds with an east exposure, west and north protection and hopefully some south sun but not too much south wind ...YAH RIGHT got to move now for that tree ...see how much your bargain had already cost ya ... oh well anyway seriously try to get as close to the above situation as possible but not to close to structures. Mulch heavily 4-6" ( I use cedar since it keeps bugs away) and keep 4-6 " minumum away from trunk. I would expect some winter die back but it may do fine ...And yes having an older larger tree definitly increases your success rate since it has a well established root system that can better withstand the elements ... I think you'll be alright unless you get a 25- 30 below winter which is unlikely with global warming but possibe ...GODD LUCK ..David
Thanks David. I actually think I have it is a pretty good position. It is on the SE corner of the house, protected from western winds, and harsh easten winds, receives morning sun and afternoon shade. I do however have it planted very close to the house, about a foot away. You said to keep it away from structures, and I was under the impression that JM roots do not pose a threat to building foundations. Am I wrong?
PS. Not to say that it couldn't happen, but I certainly do not remember any 25-30 below winters.
Those winters were in the 80's although we had some -20(+-) below for one night or so in the mid 90's...
I think thats a bit close even in your area ( that tree could get big fast)...here's what a dave's garden guy says about it..
"A gardening friend of mine grows this selection in St. John's, Newfoundland so I have personal experience with it. It belongs to the Amoenum Group, but does tend towards the more deeply cut leaves of a Palmatum. The spring foliage is more orange-red than the typical purple-red of the many 'red-leaved' selections. Summer foliage may develop a green cast to the reddish-purple, but the fall colour is very bright red indeed. It forms a broad-headed small tree 6-8 m tall (my friend's is now about 3 m after 8 years)."
That's about 10ft in zone 5b and we don't know what size he started with...This has been an ongoing discussion in this group and diageeement as well... I being on the side of not planting anywhere near that close!!..No it will not hurt the foundation but it may be a mess and a trimming nightmare and you may have a one sided tree being so close..I think even the "close planter's" would agree that is way too close especially for that particular tree ..David

Blunderbuss - Wilson, England, 1790 Reg. No: ST 005907
- Summary:
- Flintlock blunderbuss, made by Wilson, England, 1790.
One of a collection of weapons seized from mutineers during the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859), and subsequently donated to the Melbourne Public Library in 1860 by Earl Charles Canning, Governor-General of India.
- Description:
- Iron barrel 11 inches long.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This is one of 287 weapons and associated items from the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859), donated to the Melbourne Public Library in 1860 by Earl Charles Canning, Governor-General of India. The weapons had been seized from the Indian mutineers by British troops during the course of the mutiny.
The donation was in response to a suggestion by Redmond Barry, Chairman of Trustees, that a letter be sent to Sir Henry Barkly, Governor of Victoria, requesting him to write to the Governor-General of India. The letter to Barkly, dated 9 May 1859, noted that 'such objects placed in the Museum attached to the Library would afford interesting illustration of oriental national customs and peculiarities.'
The weapons were also war booty, signifying the relief of Victorians that their fellow colonists in India were once more safe. Many Victorian colonists (including Barry) had relatives in the British army and administration in India, had anxiously followed the bulletins of the Indian Mutiny in the newspapers, and raised funds locally to aid the cause. Some of the weapons were displayed in the main stairwell of the Library, alongside Australian Aboriginal weapons. Here they became symbols of the defeat of local peoples as the British Empire expanded around the globe.
The collection was subsequently transferred to the National Gallery of Victoria, and thence in parts to the Industrial & Technological Museum during the early decades of the twentieth century. At each stage in its history, the collection has been gradually reduced in size through items being presented or disposed of.

The SEWARD MEMORIAL wave wall was recently installed on the harbor at Seward, a project that culminates a three year project that was funded in part by KMTA grants. The result is a moving tribute to those lost at sea since Seward's early days of settlement until the present. Next summer, watch for landscaping and a garden area to complete this peaceful place that honors the memory of Seward Mariners who have lost their lives at sea or contributed to the local seafaring and maritime industry.

Nice hotel, south-east of the Indianapolis LoopPosted Feb 9, 2015
Pros: Nice rooms. Good location. Close to the freeway.
Cons: See above.
Location: I was not there long enough but I have stayed earlier in the area and if you have business at the University of Indianapolis, it is close enough.
Right close to the freeway. Approx 12 miles from downtown convention center area. The room was clean & the bed was fine. I took the major issue that when I arrived at 11:20 pm, there was no one at the front desk for over 30 minutes, without any notification of when they would return, or what to do if no one was there. I called the front number (and it kept ringing in front of me...), but no one returned to pick up the call. When finally a person arrived, he said that "...they had me cleaning the conference room...". Did not seem to me like a proper excuse sufficient to justify the length of time I had to wait. I was supposed to check out at 6:30 am, so, even that 1/2 hour of extra sleep was very important to me after 5 hours of drive in. I did not stay for the morning breakfast. Thanks.

Hard bed, mediocre breakfast.Posted Jan 26, 2015
The bed was no much better than sleeping on a box spring. Room clean, spacious. Next to laundry - probably because I booked through Expedia. Breakfast mediocre - sausage gravy & waffles ok. Probably won't repeat stay.

Stay on Southside of IndyPosted Dec 2, 2014 on Hotels.com
Have stayed at this location before. (It wasn't a Baymont then) Great place, convenient, quiet. The Baymont name means a lot. Staff was so friendly and breakfast was good. The hostess at breakfast was wonderful, made us a waffle and offered to get us coffee. If you go to Indy and want to be on the southside, I would recommend this hotel highly.

Godzilla was about 164 feet tall when he debuted in 1954, but he is a soaring 492 feet high in the latest "Godzilla" movie. Evolutionary science may provide an explanation: The skyscraper-destroying monster's growth spurts appear to correlate with ever-taller urban construction, writes Craig McClain. "Skyscraper height has increased dramatically over the last century. For Godzilla to continue to plow through buildings in major metropolises, a more formidable size is needed," McClain writes.

text: Benefits HSA Savers Are Better 401(k) Savers By Kristen Heinzinger firstname.lastname@example.com | October 05, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article October 5, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – Participants who saved in both a 401(k) and health savings account (HSA) in 2011 had a higher 401(k) balance than those who only saved in a 401(k), a Fidelity Investments study found. This result was unaffected by level of income. Additionally, nearly one-quarter of continuously contributing HSA account holders save most of their contributions, which will help pay for escalating costs of health care in retirement. On average, 401(k) participants who also contributed to an HSA in 2011 deferred 8.5% of their annual salary into their 401(k). Those who only saved in a 401(k) contributed an average of 8.1%The average 401(k) balance for participants earning $40,000 to $60,000 a year and saving in both their workplace savings plan and an HSA was $63,000. Those in the same income bracket who saved only in a 401(k) had an average balance of $46,100, or 28% less. Likewise, those earning $100,000 to $150,000 a year and saving in both vehicles had an average 401(k) balance of $226,800, but those saving in just a 401(k) saw an average balance of $174,200 or 23% less."During benefit enrollment season, it's encouraging to see that on average, saving in an HSA is not done at the expense of an employee's crucial 401(k) retirement savings," said William Applegate, vice president, Fidelity Investments. "Employers and employees alike are increasingly recognizing the importance of planning for current and future health care costs and many are beginning to integrate this tax-advantaged product into their overall retirement strategy."

I have been working at Edward Jones full-time (more than 10 years)
Edward Jones is a limited partnership, exclusively owned by its employees and retired former employees. There is not a single day since I started with the company in 1999 where I woke up and thought, "I wonder if I'm gonna have a job today" This is a huge advantage over any publicly held company.
The training is excellent, you are taught the right ways to engage prospective clients in conversation to build trust and ask for their permission to follow up instead of picking up the phone to make cold calls. This is one reason why the "Do Not Call" list has never been a concern for me, because I have spoken with all of my prospective clients face to face to gather their contact information from them.
The culture is very supportive and the FAs are taught early to be respectful of their peers and not prey upon each others clients. I sincerely like working with the other FAs in my region and am happy to help any of them when asked and I feel the same about them if I am ever looking for ideas or support.
The structure of the business having one FA and one BOA in each office is great. I am able to tailor the entire office to my needs and have few disruptions on a daily basis.
This is can be an exceptionally rewarding career with the right level of hard work and dedication, especially in the first few years as you are building your business. But it is a CAREER, not a JOB. If you aren't 100% fully vested in your success along with receiving complete buy-in from your family, then you should not consider becoming a financial advisor. Its a trememdous amount of hard work and long hours the first few years while you're building your business. When prospecting for new clients, you will be asking them to trust your advice in achieving many of their most meaningful financial goals. Its a huge responsibility on your part and they deserve nothing but your best. If you apply, with the attitude of becoming an FA to try it out, knowing all along that if it doesn't work you have a back up plan, then you should not apply at all. Its too important to the lives of the families that you'll be working with and not fair to them.
Continue to do all that is necessary to preserve the culture of Edward Jones, sharing its past with each generation of new associates. And at all cost, do what is necessary to keep our company a private company.

Decent people on the ground, if you can make it through the first few years it pays wellCons
Door knocking, door knocking, oh and did I mention door knocking? The success of this strategy is somewhat dependent on where you are, but the company is 100% convinced that if you are having trouble you are being lazy. Right now my results are lagging behind, and I've been chased by dogs, stung by bugs I didn't know existed, and other fun stuff. And it isn't for lack of knocking, believe me.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Do more with goodknights and making sure that advisers get some AUM up front so they can make it through the first couple of years. It's foolish to allow good candidates to wash out because their town isn't good for knocking. You've been in urban areas long enough to know that knocking can be extremely unproductive there.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

For sweater or worse: Sweater theft turns into fifth drunken driving arrest for Milwaukee man
A man was arrested for drunken driving for the fifth time after he took a pile of sweaters from a Mayfair Mall store and tried to flee in his vehicle last week.
On Saturday, Ricky Jones, 51, of Milwaukee was charged with misdemeanor counts of retail theft and resisting arrest. Drunken driving charges are pending the state crime lab report on his blood-alcohol level.
If Jones' BAC comes out higher than 0.08, the drunken driving charge becomes a felony due to the number and frequency. Technically, the arrest counted as his fourth arrest because he has been arrested but doesn't go to trial until February on his actual fourth drunken driving offense, according to a Wauwatosa Police Department report.
Also, according to the report:
An officer was patrolling the mall parking lot when he saw a car parked in front of Boston Store with the door ajar about 8 p.m. Dec. 9. As he approached, Jones exited the store with a pile of sweaters valued at $1,200 that still had the anti-theft tags on them. He jumped in the driver's seat and took off.
During a short pursuit through a nearby neighborhood, Jones' failed to stop for signs and slid around the snow-covered roads until his vehicle hit a curb.
Jones smelled of alcohol, was yelling and refused to show ID. Five open beers were found in the vehicle.
At the police station, he refused to get out of the patrol car and had to be pulled out. Then, he laid down on the floor of the station. Jones continued to resist at the hospital, when he was taken for a blood draw. He refused to walk, so he was put in a wheelchair. He immediately threw himself out of the chair and fell on the parking lot asphalt.
Wauwatosa police are familiar with Jones. He was on bail for several misdemeanor cases and has a lengthy record, including warrants, in eight states.

You fully customize like a shopping list and aren't button holed into those silly charter food packages. They work with all the charter companies.
For what you might save, I would never want to deal with the coolers and forms. Having one bag slung over your shoulder is a serious advantage when dealing with "the islands". Picking multiple heavy items in and out of cabs, on ferries, through customs, etc, sounds very cumbersome to me.
Maybe bring something you absolutely must have and can't get.
Another alternative to consider: I much prefer to inspect the food that I buy instead of having someone who doesn't care pick out the first thing they find. So we passed on pre-ordering and planned to go to RiteWay the night before. We were so wiped out from the day of travel that we didn't make it out that night, so we went out at 7am the morning of our departure. RiteWay's main location was an easy 5-minute walk from the Sunsail/Moorings facility, and we were back in plenty of time for our 9am chart briefing. We had three of us to lug the groceries back. Each of us carried 2 gallon jugs of water, and we had daypacks to put the food in. However, we did not provision heavily - we were only buying food for lunch every day (mostly cold cuts and stuff). Heavier provisioning would have probably required a cab ride.
The RiteWay store was a little higher priced than mainland supermarkets, but not by as much as we expected.
Some people don't want to do any of this shopping while on vacation, so the services are nice for them. But my wife can be picky about brand names and condition of fresh produce, so this option was much better for us.
One warning: Although RiteWay's flagship location is a nice sized store, their selection was spotty for certain food items. For instance, the deli counter was completely out of roast beef, turkey, and some other cold cuts. The only meat we could find that we liked was ham, which obviously could be a problem for some people. Some of the advance purchase services claim that by ordering ahead you avoid out-of-stock problems, but I'm not sure the laid back island people would be that diligent. I'd appreciate comments on this from those who have actually used their services.
Also, RiteWay has affiliated stores on the other islands. Selection is pretty good for small stores. Prices seemed to be a little higher on the more remote islands, but still cheaper than eating out.

Quick Breads
Happily, I have a houseful for Thanksgiving weekend. I like to serve quick breads and fruit for breakfast because people can help themselves as they get up. I need some ideas and I know that there are a lot of great tea and quick bread bakers on this forum. Thanks. Gobble, Gobble.
I've been making the following a lot - all have been very well received. The best Cranberry Bread is the one on the back of the Ocean Spray bag of fresh cranberries.
Good luck and have fun!
Pumpkin Bread
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans.
2. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.
3. Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Blueberry Lemon Bread Recipe
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 lemon, juiced
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons lemons, zest of
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup white sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease and flour an 8x4 Inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, and beat well.
Mix in the juice of 1 lemon.
Add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk.
Fold in the lemon zest and blueberries.
Pour into prepared 8x4 inch loaf pan.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
For the glaze, combine 1/4 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Drizzle over cake while still warm.
Black And White Banana Loaf
Planning Tip: Wrap airtight and store at room temperature up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly grated or ground nutmeg
1 1/2 ripe medium bananas
1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
Small squirt of lemon juice
1 Tbsp dark rum
3 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 stick plus 2 Tbsp (1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1. Heat oven to 325F. Butter an 8 x 4 x 21/2-in. loaf pan; dust with flour; tap out excess.
2. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a small bowl until blended.
3. In another small bowl, mash bananas with lemon zest and juice; stir in rum.
4. Microwave chocolate and 2 Tbsp butter, stirring every 10 seconds, until melted and blended.
5. Beat remaining butter with mixer on medium speed 3 minutes or until creamy. Add sugars; beat 2 to 3 minutes until light and smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each. Beat in vanilla (batter will look curdled). Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in 1/2 the flour mixture just until blended. Beat in milk until combined, then remaining flour mixture. Scrape down bowl; beat in banana mixture (batter will look lumpy).
6. Stir a little less than 1/2 the batter into melted chocolate to blend. Drop alternating spoonfuls of both batters into prepared pan. Using a table knife, swirl batters together, taking care not to overdo it.
7. Bake 1 hour and 20 to 30 minutes (check cake after 45 minutes and cover loosely with foil if itÂs getting too brown), until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes before inverting on rack, turning right side up and cooling completely.
Along these same lines - all my recipes for quick breads use white flour. Can you substitute whole grain - do you need to make adjustments? I've never used whole grain flour in anything but I'm losing my taste for refined carbs so would like to try it.
Here's a delicious one I found last year...
PEAR BREAD (Really good!)
1 c. vegetable oil
2 c. granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 c. peeled and chopped fresh pears (4 med.)
1 c. chopped pecans
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine oil, sugar and eggs, blending well.
Stir in pears, pecans and vanilla. In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
Stir dry ingredients into pear mixture, pour the batter into two greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 inch loaf pans, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cool loaves 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool on the wire racks.
Makes two loaves.
1 large butternut squash
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
CUT squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Place cut side down in a shallow pan; add water to depth of 1/2 inch. Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until tender; drain. Scoop out pulp; mash. Discard shell. Measure 1 3/4 cups pulp; reserve any remaining pulp for other uses.
BEAT butter, gradually adding sugar; beat well. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
COMBINE flour, baking soda, baking powder, and spices; add to butter mixture alternately with squash, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in pecans. Spoon batter into greased & floured 9x5x3 inch loafpan and bake at 350° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Or bake in 4 small loaf pans for 50 minutes/mini loaf pans 40 minutes.)
COOL in pan(s) on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan(s), and let cool completely on wire rack.
I make this one often.
Blueberry Breakfast Cereal Bread
2 Cups cereal, crushed (about ¾ cup) I used Bran flakes
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon grated orange or lemon peel
¼ cup orange juice
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 egg or ¼ cup fat-free egg product
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom only of 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix cereal, water, orange peel, orange juice and vanilla; let stand 10 minutes. Stirein remaining ingredients except blueberries. Stir in blueberries. Pour into pan.
Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loose sides of loaf; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely before slicing, at least 1 hour.
It might be nice to also serve some compound butters or flavored cream cheese in little crocks...thinking maple pecan or honey...
Pumpkin Bread
2/3 cup shortening
2-2/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin
2/3 cup water (or use cider)
3-1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. soda
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
2/3 cup coarsely chopped nuts
2/3 cup raisins
Heat oven to 350. Grease 2 loaf pans. Cream shortening and sugar thoroughly. Add eggs, pumpkin and water. Blend in dry ingredients, except nuts and raisins. Stir in nuts and raisins after batter has been mixed well. Bake 60-70 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
I think I set my timer for 50 minutes and then checked it, but don't remember if I had to cook longer than that or not. This is my favorite pumpkin bread recipe, and is wonderful with a cream cheese and lemon and sugar glaze on it.
Rosie's Banana Bread
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
3/4 cup mashed bananas
1 cup sugar
1-1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350. Mix oil, eggs, and bananas with sugar. Sift dry ingredients and add. Bake 50 minutes in heavily greased and floured pan. This is a very, very moist bread, so good greasing and flouring of the pan is necessary. I also add 1 cup chopped walnuts to this. This, again, is the best banana bread recipe I have found.
Cherry Zucchini Bread
2 eggs
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup lemon juice
2/3 cup shredded, unpeeled zucchini
1/4 cup water
2/3 cup dried tart cherries
2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbs. grated lemon peel
2 tsp. baking powder
Put eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on med. speed 3-4 minutes, or until eggs are thick and lemon colored. Add sugar, oil, lemon juice, and water and mix well.
Combine flouyr baking powder, cinnamon, soda and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in zucchin, cherries, and lemon peel.
Grease and flour the bottom only of a loaf pan. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven 55-65 minutes, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Makes 1 loaf.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Found this in my KA book the other day. I made a turkey last night with all the fixins so I could have some cranberry sauce left over (a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do). I'll be making this tonight and report back.
Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake
1/2 cup (1 stick, 4 ounces) butter
1 cup (7 ounces) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) buttermilk or yogurt (low-fat is fine)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (10 3/4 ounces) whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup blanched slivered or sliced almonds, toasted
3/4 cup (3 ounces) confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Spread almonds in an ungreased 9" round cake pan, and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until theyre a light golden brown.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-cup (9" to 9 ½") tube pan or bundt-style pan.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, then the buttermilk or yogurt and almond extract. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, and beat briefly again, to make sure everything is well combined. Add the baking powder, baking soda, flour, and salt, stirring just to blend. Spoon half of batter into the prepared pan. Spread half of cranberry sauce evenly atop batter, then spread remaining batter over that. Top with remaining cranberry sauce, and sprinkle toasted almonds evenly over sauce.
Bake the cake for 55 minutes, tenting it with foil for the final 15 minutes. When its done, a cake tester inserted into the thickest part will come out clean, and the top will spring back when you press it gently. Remove the cake from the oven, and cool it in pan for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn it out of the pan onto a rack set over a piece of parchment, and stir together the glaze ingredients.
Drizzle the thin glaze over the warm cake.
This is an unusual one, but got rave reviews from my husband and others... A little healthier than your average quick bread...
The link is below -- its one of my favorite food blogs that has the recipe, and so who knows what other great recipes you'll find there too!

Had a rather peculiar dream with Locks in last night.
Hons and Ary were standing on the surface of an apparently barren, rocky planet. They were talking, but I couldn't hear what they said, nor see their faces (For my position was a nondescript point of observation somewhere on the floor behind them, looking up)
The sky was oppressive, a perfectly vivid black, and scattered with the most staggering display of glittering stars I have ever seen. Hons made a gesture towards Ary, then up at the sky, and the plethora of lights oozed and melted themselves across the vista until they all sat in little clusters with blank night between them. Then, after looking closer, I saw they weren't stars at all, but eyes. Lockjaw eyes. Hundreds of them. The creatures were tangled and morphed together- They reminded me a tad o' that Red lock, only dark and inky. They were so huge and so many that they
the sky- And between the gaps of their bodies there was nothing but a stark emptiness. They had consumed all that was behind them, and now they were here. Looking down on Hons and Ary with distinctly hollow and hungry spark like eyes.
And then Hons started

I have! No joke!
It was before I knew what a lock was actually... ;-;
It was a loooong time ago. My friend made a critter called the Acin and I fell in love with them because of that head 'hood'... but just recently I found Locks and it clicked.
In my dream I was in a forest environment, these two darker than black creatures had been incircling me and a... unknown dream friend. At first I wasn't sure what it was, but I was sure of one thing- I knew whatever it was could hurt me.. bad. I stood command in this dream, I ordered my friend to follow me as we rushed off the edge of this cliff like hill...
For a moment I thought I lost whatever was there in this 'nightmareish' dream.. I remember a stone long arch bridge that didn't go over water or anything... so I quickly took me and my friend under the bridge and knelled down and signaled to keep silent and still.
VERY still. Not one movement. For some reason it was soo important to me in that dream.
I was wrong when I thought I lost whatever creatures had been harrassing me and my friend, finally I see one jump down from the bridge and slowly walk at me and the other come in from the other side.. This is when I finally got to see the figure that I resemble closely to be the Lockjaw. However I think mine were muuch smaller- like bangleTiger sized. One gave off a really spine-curling trill. I'll never forget it, even if it was just a dream..
The only thing after that I remember is one walking straight infront of me. Face to face staring, and then out of the blue my ''friend'' snaps and tries to break a run for it.. The other lockjaw from the other side snatched him up and 'disappeared'
When I turned my head to look at him, the lock infront of me opened it's maw abit as if it were about to bite me but then.. jerked off and ran towards the forest... i remember staying still. Not wanting to move. And then. Blank. Nothing else.
Weird? It's actually what inspired me to make my Quillion creatured because of their long tails. :0
I mean if you don't beleive me! I swear!

Very cool! One of my professors at grad school had a bizarre dream in which a Lock appeared, some time before she met me and knew what it was. When I went to a career meeting with her and she saw my sketchbook she freaked, it was an odd experience.
Locks are roughly tiger-sized on all fours. They're not super huge, just very long.
It's interesting that so many people see them in quadrupedal form when that's not their natural state.

They feature, but almost always in the background or underneath something.
Except once. In a dream (which I have entitled "Shapeshifter-Arena-War-Thing-Yeah") I was engaged in a brutal fight with someone who had shifted into that form. Which doesn't make sense until you read the title of the dream.

Oh lord, a long time ago when you posted a lot more from your headworld, but not anything since you took everything down before coming back again. I can't remember any details, but I remember being given really good advice for a problem I was struggling to deal with IRL. The Lock itself (I didn't really get a sense of gender I don't think; not that I can remember anyways) was hard to look at, as it constantly stuck to the shadows. But it was one of those dream things where you knew what it was even if you never really saw it.
Hell, I WISH I dreamed of them still haha

Many a timeI have dreamt of such creatures and things similar to them. The dreamworld my subconcious threw me in (literally) was of an oasis just placed near the very heart of a vast wasteland and a Lock was stalking me.
Before the dream got any further I woke up. *shrugs* I never figured out why it was there... that oasis is my retreat. Damn.

Weeeeeeell at the risk of revealing weirdness, I've long thought of Rippington and his cape, and how it came to be as tattered as it is (or was?). Thinking about what I'd read that indicated that he could fly as his will dictated, and the inhospitable environments he may have visited or the remarkably high speeds he may have traveled to get there. That created quite a strong, compelling visual image to me.

I had one before you changed up their look again. It was a Lock that had fancied himself up though. He had this funky looking pronged crest with red tips, almost like a styracosaurus, red feet, and a red tail scythe. It was almost like we were jumping through time or something because I remember scenes passing around us but he was standing still. He was standing there glaring and snarling at me, but not in distaste, almost like he wanted something from me, but I have no idea what because I woke up. I could understand what he was 'saying' even though he never actually spoke, but again I woke up before he 'told' me anything.

Um...It was weird. We were in a ship and near a huge domed window in space and the lock was in bipedl form but still locky and he was trying to make me read something, and despite it not being in English I could read it, though in my dreams text when read never makes sense so it was gibberish anyway.

I'm sure I've already told ye' these but hay! Had.. Three, I t'ink! Wrote them down somewhere but.. I forget where. Memories are sketchy now at best. There was certainly one with beaky-nosed Locks running beside a car I was in. And one with Ceras and Shoon, Ceras being all.. Freakishly odd like.
The best was probably going into this old tower-house thing, inside it was fully furnished but rather dusty and un-used. This one Lockjaw hung from ropes of itself at the back of the room and dribbled everywhere and dripped through walls in a stringy web and made puddles of pseudo-black-hole stuff all over. The whole perspective distorted, everything sounded faintly under-water-y and the lights were going nuts. And it wouldn't stop freakin'
at me. Can't quite remember what it said to me anymore, but I do recall it sounded both intriguing and deeply harrowing at the same time.

I found a ball, made out of several kinds of metal. I tried to open it by ripping the little metal plates away, but it didn't work.
I felt asleep in my dream, then there was a lightning and I awoke. A little Lock, standing on two feet (about 10 cm high) was standing on a shelf. If was coloured like Ceras.. I tried to chase it, but in the end it jumped in the metal ball - which was open oO - and flew away.. That was about 3-4 years ago.

I did, in 2005. I've never LARPed IRL, but in that dream I was part of a lockjaws LARP group. o.o Only that the locks were called 'Zarathus' like the artist. After a while I was actually in a lock body. I could do that extremely cool toothy trademark smile of them, I moved like one, and I could shift from quadrupedal to bipedal with ease. My 'character' was however pretty horribly evil and a cannibal. He didn't have a name, though, until my friends decided they'd name him 'Aktus' after my initials, which I find is a pretty stupid name. x)

Yes, frequently at one point! Years ago back in the VCL only days, I had a period of time where I frequently dreamed about BEING a Lock, or turning into one!

I actually had one last night. It was quite... horrifying really o-o;;
It spawned from seeing this I think:
I was in Dead Space with all the spiffy armor and stuff, just killing necromorphs like a badass on Titan Station. I was strolling along a crazy long passage in the medical labs and I found this guy, just kinda staring out the window into space. I could tell he wasn't a necromorph, so I walked up, wondering if he was crazy like everyone else I had met. The guy turned around and looked at me, I asked him if he was alright. He just gave this crazy grin and then did the little morph thing and turned into a Lock and absolutely scared the crap out of me. I tried to shoot him but it did nothing so I just turned around an ran back down the passage. He chased me and when I got to the dead end passage [that wasn't a dead end earlier] I turned around and he freakin' ATE me, all I could see was the dark mouth and teeth. I woke up and had one of those half-asleep 'wtf was THAT?' moments and went back to bed. xDD
Yep, that was my strange dream.
