The summer is perfect for going out and enjoying a bike ride to take in all the natural beauty Nassau County has to offer. However, it is important to remain safe while doing so. Be sure to remember that bicycle safety starts with you - always wear your helmet and follow the rules of the road as listed below.
• Obey all traffic laws, signs & signals
• Always ride your bicycle with the flow of traffic, not against it
• Always wear your helmet
• Don't pass on the right
• Keep both hands ready to brake
• Use lights at night
• Wear reflective materials so motorists can easily see you
• Don't operate a bicycle while wearing headphones, talking on a cell phone or texting
• Use proper hand signals when turning

FDA? Who relies anything the FDA says?
Click Here if you Like this Comment 8 persons like this.
Although not a Doctor, I spent many years in the medical profession and learned a lot of things the average person would not.Aspirin is like any other drug in that some people can take them and have no side affects. I knew a kid who gave his friend an aspirin at school and the kid dropped dead. This is why they are so hard on children passing legitimate drugs to other children, and why they are so strict on schools handing in out medication.I see a lot of drugs advertised on TV and if you listen closely the guy is reading fast about all the side effects, if you have this or that or another then consult your doctor.Good advice. Non-prescription over the counter medicine can be good for you or it can kill you. If you don´t check with your doctor before taking anything, well it´s your life.

Every person is different. For me, novocaine does nothing; a half-dose of lidocaine is very effective. You need to build your awareness of the effects of what you take.

Some forty-odd years ago I was on a trout fishing group trip in Montana. On the trip were a couple of German doctors. They said if everyone took an aspirin a day that heart disease would be reduced at least a third. Since heart trouble ran in my family I started the aspirin a day the next morning and have never stopped. I seem to have a healthy heart. My recent EKG and nuclear tests were normal. I am 72 now. Was it the aspirin or just luck? Don´t know but don´t plan to stop. I acknowledge that there are some who shouldn´t do the aspirin routine but if you can take it I highly recommend it.

Since FDA employees and Congress/staffers can´t make money inside trading over the counter medications, like they can with the big pharma they regulate for new meds, it´s unlikely we´ll ever see them like Aspirin, Vitamins, or any homeopathic remedies.

My grandmother, who died in 1980 at the age of 91, took 2 aspirin dissolved in water with a small amount of baking soda every night for as long as I can remember.She was quite healthy and took no other medications.

Humber Bridge is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon
Posted: November 27, 2012|
I WAS flicking through a Visit Hull and East Yorkshire tourist brochure last weekend looking for some inspiration for a potential afternoon out on a cold November Sunday when I saw that the Humber Bridge was located in the top ten things to do list.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the bridge, it's a thing of beauty in its own right and I never drive by it without looking up (in the passenger seat of course!), impressed by the sheer imposing scale of the thing.
But after you've looked at for a few minutes then what's next? It's only a bridge after all.
Then I noticed you could walk over it and was intrigued. A couple of hours later me and my "not so good with heights" girlfriend found ourselves suspended more than 100ft above the Humber in biting winds and temperatures that must have been struggling to get above zero.
Looking around at the wonderful views up and down the Humber, I forgot about the cold and the wind and I instantly began to agree with the brochure.
It does honestly feel like you are standing on a construction of special importance, like the Eiffel Tower or Tower Bridge, and, judging by the amount of folk walking dogs, pushing prams and jogging past us in both directions, I wasn't the only one.
The true construction of the bridge can also only be appreciated from this view and when you are up there it strikes you how simpli- stic its construction is.
The bridge section is literately held up by two thick lengths of cable running parallel along its length attached to the towers at either end and held in place by a lot of wire, 71,000 miles of wiring to be precise.
Yet scanning the whole length of these two cables, as they dip down and rise up majestically to the far tower, gives a great sense of the engineering achievement in producing a bridge of such magnitude.
Although my girlfriend had to take my word for it as she wouldn't take her eyes away from a few feet in front of her.
After completing the almost two-mile walk there and back we were also lucky enough to get the added bonus of a nice autumnal sunset over the Humber, before making our descent back to the car park and a well-deserved hot chocolate.
So there you have it, Visit Hull and East Yorkshire was spot on with its recommendation.
The Humber Bridge, a great place for a walk on a Sunday afternoon.
If you haven't tried it (and no, driving over it doesn't count), get up there, even if you are scared of heights. Just don't look down.

We don't need nuclear weapons, we wouldn't use them, the world will be safer without them.
- Petitioned President of the United States
This petition was delivered to:
President Obama, take action now to move us closer to a world free of nuclear weapons
Petition by
Oakland, CA
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
Every President gets one significant opportunity to revise and update U.S. nuclear weapons strategy. Now President Obama has this opportunity and is developing guidance that will determine the role and the number of U.S. nuclear weapons.
This guidance affects everything from war plans to the size, structure and cost of the nuclear arsenal. It will help determine whether we continue to live with the threat of nuclear annihilation by accident or by design--or move closer to a world free of the danger of nuclear war.
Now is our opportunity to make our voices heard, to press President Obama to make good on his pledge to "put an end to Cold War thinking" and pursue further, dramatic steps that would make us all safer from the threat of nuclear weapons. Please join thousands of Americans by adding your voice.
President of the United States
In the coming weeks, I urge you to end outdated U.S. nuclear war-fighting strategy, dramatically...
In the coming weeks, I urge you to end outdated U.S. nuclear war-fighting strategy, dramatically reduce the number of U.S. nuclear weapons and the number of submarines, missiles, and bombers that carry those weapons, and take U.S. nuclear weapons off high alert. Maintaining large numbers of nuclear forces on alert increases the risk of accident or miscalculation.
By taking these steps, you will facilitate reductions in Russia's nuclear arsenal, encourage other nuclear-armed countries to join in reductions, and move us closer to a world free of nuclear weapons.

Great Maine cabin!
This place was great! The cabin was clean, perfect size, awesome screened in porch and the dock was a blast. The owners allow you to use their kayaks and the entire area is beautiful. Take the short cruise over to Mt. Kineo to further enhance your visit for a very nice hike or round of golf. The towns were close enough to enjoy the scenery while taking a short ride. There were very cool places to enjoy lunch/dinner while sitting right on the water just minutes around the corner. I can't say enough good things, just wish I lived a little closer (we are from the Philadelphia area) because I would visit more often. Thank you Ryan and Shweta!
Great family vacation!!!
What a great family vacation!! The house was beautiful and spotless!!! Dealing with Patsy was a pleasure and she answered all of our questions both before and during our stay!! The house came equipped with everything mentioned and then some, what ever I seemed to have forgotten, Pasty had in the house!! Being on the lake was a treat for us and our two boys (ages 15 and 11), they went fishing throughout the week and we spent most evenings down on the deck/beach. We enjoyed the canoe and the boys had adventures finding new things along the lake and swimming. Listening to the loons, watching the stars at night and the hummingbirds were amazing!! In the area we were able to go on a few hikes, Mt. Kineo was great, the B-52 bomber on Elephant Mountain was something to see and the waterfall at Moxie Falls was beautiful. We took a float plane ride and that was a lot of fun!! We also took a canoe moose watching tour with Northwood's Outfitters and we got to see a moose!! We could not have asked for a better family vacation!!
Modern Meets Wilderness
Beautiful cabin with all the modern amenities!!! If you are seeking peace and tranquility, this is your haven. From every room there are breathtaking views of the lake and unspoiled property. There is a wonderful fire pit to toast s'mores, watch the fireflies and gaze at the stars. It's relaxing to sit on the wicker rocking chairs as you listen to the woodpeckers. The owner was BEYOND responsive, and very helpful. The owners also provide an array of brochures to help familiarize yourself with their home as well as the surrounding area. This was a perfect setting for people of all ages ranging from their 30s to 70s. And although it was a 'vacation' rental, it very much felt like home. Moose sightings were abundant within a 10min drive. The lake was cool, refreshing and crystal clear. We have been coming to Moosehead for 5 years now. While this was our first time in this incredible home, it certainly won't be the last!! For anyone who hasn't stayed here, this cabin is a must!!!!

Lincoln Parks & Recreation: Sunken Gardens
Lincoln, NE
Beautiful spot for an outdoor wedding; well managed gardens.
Wedding: 06/07/2008
Services Used: Ceremony & Reception Venue
We held our wedding at the Pioneer's Park columns. It was the most beautiful scenery I could have imagined. There are several venues to choose from with Lincoln Parks and Rec. An outdoor wedding is beautiful if the weather is cooperative. Scheduling can be difficult, do it as soon as possible. Pioneers Park was perfect for us.
Wedding: 07/06/2007
Services Used: Ceremony & Reception Venue
Beautiful. We actually got married at Pioneer Park, which is another park in the Lincoln park system. Absolutely gorgeous, and the weather couldn't have been better for it. The park is large and has plenty of different desirable places to get married. It is green, instead of all of the flowers at the Sunken Gardens, but it is not right next to a noisy street! That was nice!

Whether you're going to the game in Dallas (where food correspondent John Mariani can tell you how to eat more than well, and where you can find our logo and maybe even win a free iPad while you're at it) or you're slumming it on the couch with friends, don't fret.

Re: Issues with the new site?
That's utterly bizarre
I have no idea why you're having problems. I've checked your account, and you're in the correct group, and also I've checked the rights that the group has in terms of forum access and they are correct.
I'm wondering whether it's worth creating you an entirely new account, see how that works, and merge your existing one onto it. I'll make an account in just a mo and see if I run into any problems with forum access when in the same group as you. If I don't, you can try the account yourself, swap between the two and make sure that you don't have problems either, then merge. Are the problems occurring while accessing the site from different places (ie school, home etc)?
I'm a bit concerned that it has happened in areas that you were able to access. I'll check with Lorian tomorrow as well to see if there were any more server issues, as it might just be that you had a case of really bad luck and managed to hit both times that it was having problems.

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Firstgear Meash Jacket This is really a great value for the price. Plenty of pockets for stuff and a well made removable liner. I'm not sure how well this would do in cold climates but down around 55F it performed well. I'm an Arizona rider so you'll excuse 55F being cold. In warm weather this jacket is great. The only thing I can say on the negative side is the collar edge rubbed my jaw line and irritated my neck area. I'm hoping it softens after a few rides and I no longer have that problem. Otherwise, a great jacket. Will Rivera - June 03, 2008 (Tucson, AZ) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Firstgear - Torrent Mesh Jacket Nice jacket. Lots of pockets, including three waterproof pockets. These pockets did not leak, even in 60 mph down pour. Cool at speed and liner works excellent in rain and on cool mornings. Too bad there are no pants to go with it. Kent - July 28, 2008 (Wolcott, CT) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Firstgear- Torrent Mesh Jacket Size, fit and finish are great and I really like the high visibility of the Yellow material. The pockets provide more than adequate storage and the two front waterproof pockets do their job in the rain. Works well over an evaporative cooling vest in the hot humid southern weather. John Ramsay - July 28, 2008 (Charlotte, MI) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great Jacket Great qualify for the cost. Nice fit and finish as well, although if you want something substantial underneath (e.g. heavy sweater) get a size larger. Plenty of pockets and other "stuff." Appears to be strong and durable (I don't really want to test it though). Alistair Cooke - January 20, 2009 (Guatemala City, AA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit LOVE MY JACKET Works really well here in Florida in the heat. The mesh is great. KIRK - March 31, 2009 (OCALA, FL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Torrent mesh jacket I am very impressed with the jacket. It fit well, and the sleeves are long enough for my arms. The number of pockets, the way the liner stores in the back like a back pad, even to the pockets in the liner, this is a first class product. The hanger it came on is even impressive. I am totally satisfied, and would buy Firstgear again as my first choice. Harry Windle - April 28, 2009 (Gainesville, FL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit DONT BE FOOLED BY APPEARANCES I bought this jacket because of the description and reviews of how great it works in hot weather. I have a Firstgear Kilamanjaro Jacket that I wear in the winter, and although it came with a liner for additional warmth, I never used it even when riding in mid 30 degree temperatures; the jacket was enough on its own. I tried to wear it when it got warmer, but it was just too hot! Enter the Torrent. When I ordered the Torrent, my wife said,"It is just like your other jacket!" Well it does kind of look the same, and it kind of feels the same in weight and when you put it on, but when you are going down the road on a hot day, you can really feel the ventilation working. It has pads on the shoulders and elbows and comes with a rain proof liner. Great Jacket! Highly recommend! Glenn Winters - May 21, 2009 (San Angelo, TX) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great Jacket! The Torrent Mesh Jacket is very well designed, has loads of sensible storage space and is great to wear in the warm weather. The jacket breaths beautifully and is comfortable even in 90-degree heat. I haven't had a chance to test it in wet weather yet, but the zip-in liner and quality of the storm flap, zipper and snaps should assure a warm and dry ride in bad weather. Definitely a worthwhile purchase. Peter Fiedler - June 03, 2009 (Boxford, MA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit GREAT jacket! Highly recommend! I received this jacket as a "Welcome to Motorcycling" gift a year ago from my brother when I got my first bike. Fortunately, he knew what to look for in a jacket because it's a GREAT jacket. The pockets are big enough to hold all of your personal belongings (phone, keys, wallet, etc.) and a few extras. Heck, I even carry a few spare parts in mine just in case. It's very comfortable and breathes very well. I have the yellow and it's highly visible, adding to my safety. It's a 3/4 length and kind of covers up your butt when standing, but once seated on your motorcycle it comes up just enough so you're not sitting on the jacket but it still provides back protection. I HIGHLY recommend this jacket. This is a great price on it too, as it's a $200 jacket retail. Nick - October 14, 2009 (Kansas City, KS) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit First Gear They did it right. The best features are the weather-proof pockets and the ease it takes to get to them. Riding in Florida relates to many short showers that you could just ride through and dry off quickly. Knowing this, you can just put the things that you don't want to get wet in them and they do stay dry. The jacket is comfortable for an armored jacket, even during 15-hour rides. Ron Houghton - October 19, 2009 (Naranja, FL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Firstgear Fantastic The fit and features are wonderful. I am very visible and comfortable, and the cost was minimal. If I need another jacket anytime, I will certainly check out Motorcycle Superstore and Firstgear first. Blair - October 19, 2009 (Gansevoort, NY) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Torrent Mesh Jacket This was my first purchase from the Superstore and has led to several more due to my complete satisfaction from the experience. Ordering was easy, shipping was fast, and the jacket exceeded my expectations. I bought a medium size for my 5'11 185 lb frame and the fit is snug but comfortable over a shirt and even with a heated jacket liner I purchased later. I remove the liner since the coolest weather I've ridden in yet is 54 degrees and I had the vest on then. Without the liner and the vest there is plenty of airflow and it's still not too warm to wear the jacket in 85 degree weather, if anything, it even feels cooler with it ON than riding without it due to the venting, and I like that. With the liner in and the heated vest it might even replace my heavier cold weather jacket. Plenty of pockets, bright color for visibility and armor to boot, what more could you ask for? ajrily - October 20, 2009 (Rogers, AR) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Firstgear Torrent This is a great three season jacket. I have been in the rain a few times with it and stay dry. I added a heated liner and it is now a great year round jacket. It's big easy access pockets are nice and the waterproof pockets in front seem to be very dry. I haven't had nice enough weather to take the liner out but feel it will be nice in the summer as well. gary - October 26, 2009 (everett, WA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit I'm pleased.... I'm pleased with my purchase. I'm 5' 8" tall and 200 pounds. The large fits me fine. It's snug across my gut but that's just fine with me. I had hoped that the liner would be a bit thicker. It's windbreaker thickness with no insulation. Don't get me wrong, for temps in the 60's and up it's comfortable while riding. It's for temps in the 50's on down that I had hoped to use it for as well. It's an easy problem to solve though, I just put on a sweatshirt. Anyway... This is my first purpose built cycle jacket so I don't have any others to compare to, but I am pleased with it. Steve - October 29, 2009 (Spring City, PA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Going strong I have used this 2x version for 3 months now(I am 285Lbs at 6'3"). Rode in temperatures from the low 30's to the high 90's. With the liner out it keeps me cool in the hottest of weather while moving. The liner is adequate warmth in the mid 30's and above but you may want a light insulating jacket underneath for colder temps. The jacket with the liner stands up well in the rain and seals nicely. If only they would have produced the 2x in yellow. I tried looking everywhere but ended up with the gray.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Ford Explorer
By KBB.com Editors
Despite the recent downturn in SUV sales, a somewhat aging platform and less-than-stellar fuel economy, the 2009 Ford Explorer continues to populate Ford showrooms. Powerful owner loyalty, a reasonable size and the option of a potent V8 engine all contribute to the Explorer's appeal, and it makes a great choice for families looking to get away from a full-sized SUV, as well as for those who need the ground clearance and four-wheel-drive capability that only a body-on-frame SUV can provide. Although the Explorer has plenty of newer competition, both domestic and foreign, few offer the combination of an attractive price, three-row seating, a powerful V8 engine and the Explorer's 7,300-pound tow rating.
Whether you're drawn to the 2009 Ford Explorer for its truck-like towing and cargo-hauling capabilities or its minivan-like versatility, you'll find more of what you're looking for in the latest incarnation of this quintessential SUV.
Although the 2009 Ford Explorer succeeds in being both smoother and more responsive than any previous model, it still drives like a big, truck-based SUV when compared to a select few of its competitors, many of which deliver almost sedan-like ride and handling.
Trailer Sway Control is added to the Explorer's AdvanceTrac stability system. New optional features include the next-generation navigation system with SIRIUS Travel Link and a new XLT Sports Package.
Driving Impressions Thanks to a sturdy frame and recently revised suspension, the 2009 Ford Explorer is noticeably smoother and more stable out on the highway than past versions. It's also quieter, making...for easy conversation between occupants in separate rows. Moreover, the Explorer is more responsive around town and, when equipped with the V8 and six-speed automatic transmission, is the most powerful model yet, although we found the V6 had more than enough output to meet our daily-driver demands. While both ride and handling are improved all around, the balance remains very much in favor of comfort, with handling characteristics that fall short of more car-like competitors, such as the Nissan Pathfinder.
Power-Folding Third Row
Not only do the two rear rows fold almost perfectly flat, but the third row is available with a power folding option that makes it easy to transform the Explorer from people-mover to cargo-hauler and back at the push of a button.
Interior Peace and Quiet
Considering its vast interior volume and all the opportunities that exist for outside noise to creep inside, the 2009 Ford Explorer is impressively, refreshingly quiet.
The 2009 Explorer's interior sports traditional Ford angular styling along with a few new interior options. Front-row seats feature extended seat tracks to better accommodate a wider range of occupant heights, while the second row is available in three seating configurations and the third row offers a power folding feature. In addition, both rear rows of seats now fold almost completely flat (just two degrees from horizontal), so cargo is more likely to stay in place. The only functional sore spot we noted was the awkward placement of the front inside door handles.Exterior
The 2009 Ford Explorer remains a very obvious descendant of the first Explorer that materialized some 17 years ago and revolutionized the industry. The biggest and most obvious change is up front, with two grilles – each assigned to a particular trim level – inspired by Ford's F-150 pickup. Distinguishing this generation from the last is probably most difficult from the side, but look closely and you'll find thicker roof rails, larger and more distinct wheels and bigger side mirrors. Around back, large taillights and a big nine-inch blue Ford oval further differentiate the new model from previous Explorers.
Standard equipment on a base-level Explorer XLT includes a 4.0-liter V6, five-speed automatic transmission, two-wheel drive, power windows, locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry, AM/FM stereo with MP3-compatible CD player, air conditioning, cruise control, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control with RSC (Roll Stability Control), 16-inch painted aluminum wheels, cloth bucket seats with driver-side manual lumbar support, tire pressure monitoring system, digital compass, outside temperature indicator and front, side-impact and two-row side-curtain airbags.
Trim-level, package and stand-alone options include a 4.6-liter V8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, third-row seat, leather seats, woodgrain interior accents, voice-activated navigation system, DVD rear-seat entertainment system, premium sound system with six-disc in-dash CD/MP3 player, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, dual-zone automatic climate control, auxiliary rear climate control, reverse sensing system, glass sunroof, six- or 10-way power driver's seat, six-way power passenger's seat, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, adjustable pedals, driver-position memory, power-folding third-row seat, automatic headlamps, fog lamps, electrochromic rearview mirror, entry keypad, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, trip computer and 17-, 18- and 20-inch wheels.
The 4.0-liter V6 engine delivers decent mileage and, according to Ford, produces fewer emissions than the previous-generation V6 Explorers. The 24-valve V8 delivers a marked increase in horsepower, along with increases in maximum towing and payload capacities, to 7,300 and 1,520 pounds, respectively.
4.0-liter V6
210 horsepower @ 5100 rpm
254 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3700 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/20 (2WD), 13/19 (4WD)
4.6-liter V8
292 horsepower @ 5750 rpm
315 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/21 (2WD), 14/19 (4WD)

"Owned the Ford Explorer for over 100,000 miles and have had only normal wear and tear replacements, i.e. battery, wheels, etc. It has started every time and we get 20 MPG. I'd buy me another Explorer in a minute."

"I bought this vehicle two years ago used in excellent condition. I love everything about it. I am a single sixty year old grandmother of one and it is perfect to carry stroller and have car seat, lay the back down or pull up and use all three rows of seating. Great for everyday and on trips!! I think the pricing listed is too low for this vehicle and its popularity."

"Ford began making this vehicle different and it is a very expensive car to maintain. They put a belt on the front of the motor and the belt on the back of the motor so to do any head work you have to remove the entire engine! I have put 4 new tires on this car this year, new brakes, had to rebuild the transmission at 120,000 miles, and now I need a new radiator and head work which is going to cost $3500! I would recommend "exploring" other options before purchasing this vehicle. Do not buy any 5.4L fords!"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 66,600overall rating 8 of 10rating details

"I have owned my Explorer for 4 1/2 years, bought new in March 2010 for $42k. I traded up to my Explorer Limited from a 2003 Explorer XLT, for which we traded in a '97 Explorer Eddie Bauer. Clearly, we are faithful to this wonderful car. Pros: As a mother of two teenage athletes, the Explorer's capabilities have never failed to impress me. The power-folding 3rd row seat is an awesome feature and definitely one of my favorite features. My top two favorites are the Bluetooth and Navigation systems. The Bluetooth allows me to talk on the phone, and the GPS helps me get to unknown destinations or sporting events, whatever the day calls for. When it comes time to carpool or drive kids to dinner for a birthday party, this car does the job perfectly. Cons: Fuel efficiency — more like fuel deficiency. I normally get 10-13MPG in my V6 4WD model. I definitely regret not getting the V8, which I've heard is much smoother and has a much better transmission. The lack of power liftgate or backup camera is also a big downside to me. My last complaint would have to be the heavy steering. I had a hand injury 2 years ago, which has made low speed maneuvers in this car a little more difficult. Otherwise, this is a fantastic car! I have 8 months of payments left, which is when I will sadly have to trade this car in for something more fuel efficient."

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida man who avoided a prison sentence after trying to hire someone to kill a former business associate will now go to prison for violating his probation.
An Orange County judge sentenced 73-year-old David L. Mackey Friday to 8 1/2 years in prison. Mackey's attorney said the term amounts to a death sentence.
In 2003, the Winter Park surgeon was caught on tape asking an undercover officer to have a former business associate killed. He pleaded no contest in 2005 to solicitation to commit first-degree murder. He was sentenced to one year of house-arrest, followed by probation.
In 2008, Mackey was caught on tape knocking nozzles off a citrus canker-wash station in Indian River County. He was found guilty of misdemeanor theft, a violation of his earlier probation.

The holidays are never complete without overindulging and overeating- and this definitely includes sweets and desserts. I enjoy baking several kinds of cookies for the holidays.. it gives me an excuse to try a few recipes that I never seem to get around to during the year without feeling guilty for eating the whole dozen by myself. I sent these off with Andreas for his family to enjoy, and brought some home to my own.
I hope everyone had a happy holidays!
adapted from Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours
These flaky cookies can be filled with many combinations of jam, nuts, and chocolate. I chose raspberry jam with semi-sweet chocolate chips, and apricot jam with pecans.
4 oz. cream cheese, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 stick butter, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Let the cream cheese and butter rest at room temperature about 10 minutes, until slightly softened. Put flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Add chunks of cream cheese and butter, and pulse in 1 second pulses, about 6-10 times until the mixture looks sandy. Then turn the processor on and continue to process until the mixture forms large curds. Do not process so long that the dough forms a large ball on the side. Divide the dough in half, shape into a flat disc, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refridgerate for 2 hours or overnight. The dough can also be stored in the freezer for later use.
You could use any flavor of jam and any combination of nuts or chocolate you wish. The recipe adds a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with 2 tablespoons sugar for the fillings, but I did not add this. I also skipped microwaving the jam to make it more spreadable because the jams I used were pretty easy to spread.
Assembling the cookies
Remove one disc from the fridge and if too firm to roll easily, let rest at room temperature for a few minutes. On a lightly floured surface (adding flour to the top of the dough and your rolling pin), roll the dough into a circle about 11-12 inches in diameter. Cut the circle in half, then cut each half into half. Cut each quarter into 3 or 4 pieces, making 12-16 wedges. Spread jam into a thin layer on the wedges using a butter knife. Sprinkle nuts and/or chocolate chips onto the wedges. Then roll up each wedge, starting with the base, to form a crescent. Transfer each cookie to a parchment (or silicon mat) lined baking sheet. Once all the cookies are formed, chill the cookies in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare glaze, using 1 egg plus 1 teaspoon cold water, whisked together. Brush the cookies with the glaze, then sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each cookie.
Bake about 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden.

These cookies are beyond fantastic for any chocolate-lovers out there. The chocolate flavor is infinitely enhanced by the use of brown sugar and contrasting salt, making this one intensely rich bite that just melts in your mouth and begs to be enjoyed with milk!
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick plus 3 tablespoons (11 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chips, or a generous 3/4 cup store-bought mini chocolate chips
Sift the flour, cocoa and baking soda together. (I also like to add a pinch of instant coffee powder at this step.)
Beat the butter on medium speed until soft and creamy. Add both sugars, the salt and vanilla extract and beat for 2 minutes more.
Turn off the mixer. Mix at low speed, take care that the flour may fly a little. Continuing at low speed, mix for about 30 seconds more, just until the flour disappears into the dough — for the best texture, work the dough as little as possible once the flour is added, and don't be concerned if the dough looks a little crumbly. Toss in the chocolate pieces and mix only to incorporate.(Note, I've found that mixing for a bit longer, about 1-2 minutes when the mixture starts to turn a darker brown as the flour is incorporated, allows the cookie to hold together better as a cookie when it is time to bake.)
Turn the dough out onto a work surface, gather it together and divide it in half. Working with one half at a time, shape the dough into logs that are 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 3 hours. (The dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. If you've frozen the dough, you needn't defrost it before baking — just slice the logs into cookies and bake the cookies 1 minute longer.)
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
Working with a sharp thin knife, slice the logs into rounds that are 1/2 inch thick. (The rounds are likely to crack as you're cutting them — don't be concerned, just squeeze the bits back onto each cookie.) Arrange the rounds on the baking sheets, leaving about one inch between them.
Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 12 minutes — they won't look done, nor will they be firm, but that's just the way they should be. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack and let the cookies rest until they are only just warm, at which point you can serve them or let them reach room temperature.
Dough can be frozen ahead of time, then sliced and baked off, adding a few minutes to the baking time.
(or Mexican Wedding Cookies, or Russian Tea Cookies….)
adapted from The Betty Crocker Cookbook
These cookies are synonymous with Christmas to me. Ever since I was little, one of my favorite aunts would bake up big batches of these nutty buttery cookies for the holidays, and I would always be left at the end of Christmas wishing we had more. This was my first time making them on my own, but it will certainly not be my last.
2 sticks of butter, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (plus extra for dusting and rolling after the cookies are baked)
1 cup unsalted toasted almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc. (I used pecans), chopped finely (can use the food processor)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Beat sugar until creamy. Add confectioner's sugar and beat until light and fluffy, an additional minute. Add nuts, salt, vanilla, and beat until well incorporated. Add the flour and beat until just combined, about 30 seconds. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until bottoms begin to brown. Let rest on sheet a few minutes until just warm to the touch. Pour about 1/2 cup of confectioner's sugar in a shallow bowl and roll warm cookies in the sugar to coat. Let rest until at room temperature, and can roll again in the sugar if a thicker coat is desired.

First, a little Haratio humor at Larry Johnson's expense (above) compliments of NESW Sports. Then there's "Larry Johnson Bobblehead Theatre" from our friends at Hugging Harold Reynolds. On a more serious note, Mike Hendricks of The Kansas City Star wasn't feeling L.J.'s apology as much as colleague Jason Whitlock.
The problem here is that the only time our Chiefs are getting any play is when they are getting laughed at or scolded. Hey, it makes our job easier here at the Addict, but it makes life sort of miserable as a Chiefs fan. I mean, look at the mockery that's become our quarterback situation.
Enjoy the links. Maybe we can all at least enjoy some self-depricating humor in the midst of this Autumn tragedy.

Changing or turning off Cmd-Tab | 18 comments | Create New Account

Changing or turning off Cmd-Tab
Is there anyway to change the Command-Tab function to a different command, or at least turn the dang thing off? I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts in classic that interfere with this. Like in Quark, you use Command-Tab to switch between tools in the tool palette. In Mac OS 9, you can change or turn off the App switch key command, but I don't see how to do this in X. Argh! Very annoying having to move the mouse back and forth between my work and the tool palette.
Changing or turning off Cmd-Tab
surely there is, get the excellent app called keyboard maestro. it features a builtin app switcher, reminiscent of OS9's GoMac, which i remapped to option-tab to not conflict with the built-in app switcher; but more importantly for you it allows you to remap key combos both system wide and for individual apps
Changing or turning off Cmd-Tab
All Keyboard Maestro seems to do is add Option-Tab rather than delete Command-Tab and then add Option-Tab.

The Oklahoma jihadist beheader's horrific Islamic terrorist attack yesterday on two innocent women is the kind of incident I referred to in Chapter 2 of my first book, The Terrorist Next Door, as a "Chip Away" attack.
That was back in 2011, and unfortunately, I think we are going to see more of this kind of thing on U.S. soil. These sudden, smaller-scale attacks, carried out on a regular basis (think Fort Hood and the Boston bombings, on a regular basis), can "chip away" at a society's stability, psyche, and sense of security--but only if we let them.
Israel has persevered in the face of this, and we can, too. But first, we have to have the guts to identify the enemy and defeat it.
I encourage you to pick up The Terrorist Next Door and also my 2013 book, The Brotherhood, which delves into the ideology that motivates these long wolf jihadists.
I consider these two books educational tools for such a time as this. The politically correct need not apply.

TUESDAY, Nov. 22 (HealthDay News) -- How the human brain
perceives nudity is boosted at an early stage of visual processing,
researchers say, and that ability may be tied to mating.
Most people are attracted to pictures of nude or scantily clad
bodies, the Finnish team note. Previous brain imaging studies have
pinpointed areas in the brain that specialize in detecting human
bodies in the environment but it wasn't known whether the brain
processes clothed and nude bodies in different ways.
In this study, Jari K. Hietanen, of the University of Tampere,
and a colleague monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they
looked at pictures of men and women who wore everyday clothes or
swimsuits, or were nude.
The results showed that the brain processes pictures of nude
bodies more efficiently than pictures of clothed bodies. Males'
brain responses were stronger for nude females than nude males, but
females' responses to nudity weren't affected by the gender of the
The study also found that the nude pictures were more sexually
arousing than the other types of pictures, according to the report
published in the Nov. 16 online edition of the journal
PLoS One.
In a news release from the Academy of Finland, the researchers
said the findings show that the brain boosts the processing of
sexually arousing signals, which could help identify potential
mating partners.
"The visual processing of other people's nude bodies is enhanced in the brain," the study authors wrote in the report. They add that this "is possibly beneficial in identifying potential mating partners and competitors, and for triggering sexual behavior."

text: With the East Coast weather forcing me to stay home from work, I decided to take advantage of the spare time and make a sweet pudding from al-Warraq. He has several chapters on khabīs (condensed puddings) that I've wanted to play with for a while. The carrot-date pudding is fairly simple to make and quite tasty: "Take as much as you like of similar amounts of sweet and tender carrots, milk and dates. Put them in a clean soapstone pot, which you lower into a tannūr (a simple conical oven, heated with a bed of coals inside it at the base) heated with a medium fire. Close the bottom vent but leave a finger-wide opening. "Let the pot simmer until the ingredients fall apart. Take it out and add ground walnuts and 1/2 dirham (1 1/2 grams) ground spikenard and ginger. Beat the mixture very well. "If the pudding turns out to be too sweet and thin, , add breadcrumbs. If it turns out perfect -- sweet and thick enough -- add fresh sesame oil and ladle it with oil into platters. If it turns out deficient in sugar and too thin in consistency, beat the mixture and return the pot to the tannūr until it thickens. When pudding is done, drench it in sesame oil [and serve it], God willing. I used a 1/2 lb each of carrots and pitted dates. I started with one cup of milk, but ended up adding two cups more over the course of cooking because that amount cooked down before the carrots were thoroughly cooked. In the absence of a tannūr, I used our regular oven, with the pot set on the bottom rack, close to the heating element. I set the initial temperature at 350F, but eventually cranked it down to 250F. I think that the relatively low temperature is appropriate, given then instruction to reduce the opening to "finger-wide." The carrots never got to a "falling apart" state, although they did get quite soft. Most of the sweetness of this pudding comes from the dates, but some comes from the carrots, plus the reduction of the milk. I used about 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, which I ground to a paste, and 1/2 g each of spikenard (Nardostachys jatamansi) and fresh ground dried ginger. Not as much as the original recipe called for, but I have a feeling that more than 1/2 lb of carrots and dates would likely have been used. In any case, it came out pretty much as a sweet ginger pudding -- my wife (who has New England roots) commented that it looked and tasted like Indian pudding, a cornmeal and molasses pudding traditional in New England. We both agreed that it would be great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. -- Galefridus

Mohs Surgery on Forehead - Clearwater, FL
I had Mohs surgery about a week and a half ago,...
I had Mohs surgery about a week and a half ago, when I went in the office to start the procedure, I had high hopes as the cancer had been on my forehead for at least 8 years, that's right I could never afford to have it looked at til now because now I have Medicare. I had a free screening about a year ago at a very respected hospital where they had told me they were pretty sure it was either basal cell or squamous cancer, although I had already suspected this after internet research, my cancer resembled many photos I had seen.....so now I have a 10cm wound that covers almost all of my forehead, I have never seen pics even slightly close to the size of the one I now have...the Dr. only went 2 layers down and then had to stop due to the amount of cancer (and also the size of my wound). I now have a HUGE open sore on my head, I am due tomorrow for an office visit to change the dressing and discuss my options which are radiation, or a pill or more cutting.....I am wondering if I should have ever even started this since Basal Cell almost never causes death, I REALLY DOUBT if I would have just left it as it was if it would EVER have turned into the nightmare it is now HELP

How did your office visit go? BCC removal can look pretty scary at first, but hopefully it will heal with time. Please keep us posted when you can and I hope you're doing okay. *hugs*

Now you see it, now you don't.
A billboard featuring USC's quarterback, Matt Barkley, was recently put up in Westwood, right where UCLA's campus is. The billboard said, "We play to finish," with the "LA" in a different color than the rest of the words.
So, the billboard was reported in the LA Times, and the next day, it was obscured. It turns out the owners of the billboard, Regency Outdoor Advertising, are Trojan alums and big time donors.
Craig Kelley, the associate athletic director for marketing at USC, said:
"You have certain locations you can choose that are favorable and have high visibility, and we chose the ones that would work best for us at the time based on what was available. Anywhere we put a board, if it's not here in downtown Los Angeles, people look at it as their territory. It's a positive.… That's really what that board is about: Finishing what you start. That crosses all platforms and all schools."
UCLA/USC is easily the most heated rivalry in Los Angeles, but in recent years, the Bruins haven't put up much of a fight. USC is clearly the best team in LA, if not the entire country, so there's no need for them to rub it in UCLA's face. In fact, it's really a waste of time and money. But these things happen all the time when two teams are in the same city.
It seems odd that the people who put this billboard up, felt so bad afterward that they covered it up after being debuted for only a week. Either they don't have faith in USC, or were worried about losing their business in Westwood, which, let's be honest, is a far wealthier area than USC's.
However, it may have been a good business move after all. Did you know about Regency Outdoor Advertising before this? Probably not. But now, if you ever need a billboard, that's likely the only company name that will pop up in your mind.
While some may see this as a classless move, others may see it as healthy competition. And while it may seem like some USC donors are backpedaling, it was actually the smartest thing they could have done for their business by getting their name out there.
As the saying goes in LA, any publicity is good publicity.

Have you seen a scene?
Hey look another post! I'm not using this thing near as much as I thought I would, but hey, what do you want from me? I'm lazy.
That said, while surfing around the net, seeing whats what in the local music scene as I often do, I saw a post from the Crofoot saying that this Fridays The Weakend Reunion show has sold out. Wow. Im taken back by this because, I like many of the other old guys still playing in bands today, remember when I first got into the scene, and how a typical Friday or Saturday hall show would be packed simply because the scene was so strong. I've told this story dozens of times, but I remember the first show I went to where I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that this was where I wanted to be. I was with my brother Nathan, and he took me to hall show featuring Fordirelifesake, Boys Night Out, Before I Go, One Hump Chump, and (If i remember correctly) Forever Ending. The show was insane. I had already been playing music by this point (mostly our own shows separate from other bands), but I never knew that such a place existed, and had existed for so long, and that this was something I could be apart of, but here it was right in front of me. I guess I was a late bloomer. I remember that there were so many kids there that the merch tables were pressed up against the walls to make more room for people and the merch guys were sitting on top of the tables because there was simply no room behind them. Now granted, the line-up was pretty stellar, but keep in mind that boys night out wasnt signed yet, they were just a band from canada. This was a typical local show.
Fast forward 10 years. The scene has died and come back, just to die again and reinvent itself again. Shows are rarely booked in halls anymore, and instead of bands splitting door profits, bands are now required in most cases to sell tickets making a measly $2 for every $10 sold. In other words the days of packed house local shows are few and far between these days and only a few bands can really draw in significant numbers. One of the bands that came out of that thriving scene was the Weakend. They dominated the local area for years, packing shows with kids who knew every word to every song, who would fight to the front of the crowd just to sing along with them. I was one of them. With the disbanding of so many great local acts (fordirelifesake, alucard, only in movies, plus tons more) the weakend also eventually saw their end, and almost fittingly so did the scene.
Now, 4 years since they last played, this band who most young kids who are rebuilding the scene have probably never even heard of, let alone seen, is playing at the Pike room. AND IT SOLD OUT. thats 300+ tickets sold, in presale. To put that in perspective, I recently played with Emery (Tooth and nail records) at the pike room. A band who was a huge influence on so many people over the years, and the place was just barely 3/4 full. Thats even after door sales. The Weakend have outdone a nationally established act, without seemingly lifting a finger. Im sure thats an understatement, but they didnt even make a flyer for the show to spread around. It wasnt even announced until very recently that Wilson was opening for them. All it was, was a facebook event, a small inch x inch add in the paper and word of mouth of a show with only one band. If there was more, fine, but i havent seen anything.
I suppose my amazement doesnt come from the show being big, but more from it being still this big after all this time. Ive heard people say that the bands that existed 5-6 years ago had a distinct "Detroit Sound", maybe thats it? and if so, do no bands nowadays have that anymore? Would a band like the Weakend do well now if they were just starting out? I wonder.
I guess what it really proves is that the scene is not dead.
Far from. Just seems like people are waiting for something to react to.
