Marc Rosenbaum is a well-known energy consultant who for 25 years lived in a house he called Nerdwood in Meriden, NH. It was heated mostly by wood and the sun. Rosenbaum's company, Energysmiths, took on a variety of consulting jobs, including some for South Mountain Company on Martha's Vineyard, which developed a cohousingDevelopment pattern in which multiple (typically 8 to 30) privately owned houses or housing units are clustered together with some commonly owned spaces, such as a common workshop, greenhouse, etc. Automobiles are typically kept to the perimeter of the community, creating a protected area within where children can play. Usually, residents are closely involved in all aspects of the development, from site selection to financing and design.

Blogs about energy-efficient, sustainable building sometimes seem overflowing with technical information — information that is not exactly tedious, but not quite light reading either. To be fair, building science is complicated. There may be no simple way of explaining vapor drive, U-factors, and the fine points of solar heat-gain coefficient. But to the uninitiated, these technical terms can result in slow slogging.
Elizabeth Di Salvo cut her green-building teeth in 1992 in what she describes as an off-grid community in Colorado where she lived in a converted railroad box car. There, she learned a "very grass roots approach" to building, but also recognized how difficult it would be to incorporate those ideas into the mainstream housing market.
"Why should anyone bother to 'right-size' an air conditioner — especially when it costs $350 to hire an engineer to ensure that the Manual J and Manual D calculations are performed properly?"
One of the most appealing things about the web are the unplanned side trips you take on the way to somewhere else, which is how I found myself at Brute Force Collaborative, a blog with a special focus on PassivhausA residential building construction standard requiring very low levels of air leakage, very high levels of insulation, and windows with a very low U-factor. Developed in the early 1990s by Bo Adamson and Wolfgang Feist, the standard is now promoted by the Passivhaus Institut in Darmstadt, Germany. To meet the standard, a home must have an infiltration rate no greater than 0.60 AC/H @ 50 pascals, a maximum annual heating energy use of 15 kWh per square meter (4,755 Btu per square foot), a maximum annual cooling energy use of 15 kWh per square meter (1.39 kWh per square foot), and maximum source energy use for all purposes of 120 kWh per square meter (11.1 kWh per square foot). The standard recommends, but does not require, a maximum design heating load of 10 W per square meter and windows with a maximum U-factor of 0.14. The Passivhaus standard was developed for buildings in central and northern Europe; efforts are underway to clarify the best techniques to achieve the standard for buildings in hot climates. projects.

Their blog, Up Hill House, is the step-by-step story of how the house gets built, beginning in June 2008 when they bought 50 acres of land and a cabin near the town of Cambridge, N.Y.

Oct 11, 2011Nevermind the mainstream, this music is too good to get ruined by overexposure. Pinback seemed to have achieved the impossible: a truly indie record with masterful studio production; terrific musicianship that keep it loose; lyrics are obscured and seldom rhyme; cryptic yet memorable songs that are impossible to get out of your head; crisp and immediate playing; and enigmatic atmospheres. This is long-term listening, each song growing on you over time. Quite simply this or recent LCD SoundSystem will remind you or let you experience how engaging early albums by REM or U2 were, back when alternative was really, truly alternative.… Expand
It's quite a treat to hear the duo create such refreshingly original music with rock's "standard" instruments.
Arguably their best record yet, a logical and accessible realization of a sound they've been developing for more than six years.
While Summer in Abaddon features Pinback's by now trademarked sound and cryptic lyrics with a few nice developments, it falls victim to a sort of malaise of consistently indistinguishable mid-tempo rockers on the second half of an album that starts very strongly.

A. Banfield and N. McCluskey: Common Core is not what its supporters claim it is
Let's start with Finn and Petrilli's argument that Granite Staters should embrace Common Core in part because the state "has already invested time and money to implement the new standards." Basically, Washington successfully coerced New Hampshire into sinking money into Common Core, so we had better stick with it.
The standards may or may not be high (subject-matter experts disagree) but Common Core offers no accountability or testing. Those come through federal laws to which the program is connected. Those laws also call for augmented data collection and other troubling things you've probably heard about, but not from Common Core itself.
Ann Marie Banfield is the education liaison at Cornerstone, a free-market think tank in Manchester. Neal McCluskey is associate director of the Cato Institute's Center for Educational Freedom and author of Behind the Curtain: Assessing the Case for National Curriculum Standards.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Province to help small businesses with succession
The province will create a new resource centre to help entrepreneurs transfer their businesses to new owners as they retire.
Premier Greg Selinger made the announcement to a Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce luncheon attended by nearly 1,000 people.
It is estimated that 40 per cent of small- and medium-sized-business owners plan to retire in the next five years, Selinger said. This means Manitoba's business community will undergo a significant transition with the potential transfer of millions of dollars in business assets, the premier said.
To help retiring entrepreneurs meet the challenges of transferring their businesses to new owners and continue driving Manitoba's economy, the provincial government will create the Manitoba Business Succession Resource Centre, Selinger said.
Business succession planning is one way to ensure the extensive transfer of viable enterprises takes place effectively, promoting a healthy business community and a stronger economy, the premier said.
"The new resource centre will build on the recently introduced the Employee Share Ownership Plan tax credit, which helps existing employees transition from employee to business owner, empowering employees and strengthening businesses and the Manitoba economy," the premier said.
The Business Succession Resource Centre will be delivered through a new single-point of contact business services organization that was announced in the province's recent throne speech. The resource centre will showcase resources and business information specific to business succession including offering workshops, seminars and guides, business counselling services and access to industry professionals.
Enhancements will also be made to the Manitoba business website, highlighting the resources and programming specific to business succession, Selinger said.

Just like the subject line states…
Let's start with some easy ones: Inaccurate commentary or misconceptions that might make potential readers skip over the book.
"This is just one guy's list of his favorite albums"- Negated in the book's introduction. I appreciate the importance of these artists represented in the book, but they do not, nor have they ever, fallen under the banner of "pleasure listening" for me (partial list off top of head): Beat Happening, The Jayhawks, Green Day, The Bottle Rockets, Jandek, Soundgarden, Young Fresh Fellows, much of the D. Johnston featured, and any TMBG that ISN'T "Ana Ng"…
"The 'canon' misconception" – This is a big one, and it's also negated in the book's introduction. These 500 albums are simply what I consider to be a great starting place…a solid backbone…of releases within the regional and chronological constraints that frame the list. Over 75 entries were written and scrapped during the final month of writing, mainly so that more bands could be included by way of at least one album. I could have easily written Gimme Indie Rock: 1000 Essential American Underground Albums 1981 – 1996, and the choice in phrasing (not "The Essential" but "Essential…") was a paramount one. I totally understand the problematic nature of the term "essential" but went with it because it seemed the lesser of evils given the alternatives. Also, "great" or "awesome" or "amazing" or "rad" or "bad ass" or "fantastic" and the like might be more appropriate for my purposes, but were either dull or idiotic or never considered for obvious reasons.
"It's just one person's opinion" – I have done nothing but eat, sleep and breath underground music culture and history for the last 23 years. I find the term "expert" to be a logical fallacy, as anyone who strives to be such can never really hit that goal if every living day is one of continued learning, etc, but if I am well versed in any subject, this book's contents fall under that umbrella. More importantly, record guides and surveys in book form used to be one-writer affairs, more often than not, during their (first) heyday (this is my attempt to launch a second one). Group/crowd-sourced books are to be approached with caution.

Buying A Record Guide In The Year 2014: Special Incentive Plan #1: Gimme Indie Rock: 500 Essential American Underground Albums 1981 – 1996!!!!
The offer and how to enjoy it:
FOR a limited number of firstie-gen (I did not!) copies of my new book that I will sign, personally inscribe to each new owner, and ADD AN ERA-APPROPRIATE 7″ BY A BAND W/ ALBUMS COVERED IN THE BOOK, PRICE!! Then, as a good reason to bring things back down from all-caps mountain, a back issue of The Cimarron Weekend #00005 from 1997/98 so recipients get the very first thing I (co-)wrote that had a cover price as well as the most recent (this late development also applies to everyone who has already placed an order). Price: $30
Interested? E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com and include your name and any instructions re: the inscription, as well as a stated desire to participate in this special, limited time offer, then I will reply with my Paypal e-mail (not the same!!). I should have a Paypal shopping cart active here by the weekend or early next week, so please accept my apologies for the "welcome to 2003!" ordering process at the moment.
PLEASE NOTE: The NM or better, previously-but-barely-loved 7″ accompanying your "Buying A Record Guide In The Year 2014: Special Incentive Plan #1″ order will be a quality offering I picked up on behalf of this (then-future) idea while digging around over the last month or two, and it will be a RANDOM selection from said lot. You don't see these every day, but you don't see them on the wall, either, if that makes sense. I cannot list artists or give any examples, as that would kill the spirit and fun of this, for better or worse, self-proclaimed "circa-now" experiment in promoting/peddling my own book. Once you receive your signed, inscribed, and 7″-accompanied book, hit Twitter with a pic & what you think of what I thought you should add to your 7″ collection…AND make sure to tweet me @GimmeIndie500!!
…then some cool things happen and get thrown into the sitch…
…and in reverse chronological sequence, this is the aforementioned back issue (#00005) of The Cimarron Weekend, the zine I co-published/co-edited/co-wrote from 1996 til 1999:

What Kind Of Friend Are You?
by Wingnut
posted Apr 8 2013 4:20PM
The type of friends you have reveals a lot about your personality! It's very true read on and i will explain a great article I read:
The type of friends you prefer reveals a lot about your personality, says psychologist Dr. Elayne Kahn, co-author of "1001 Ways You Reveal Your Personality."
Just one close friend
You need someone to confide in and trust. You don't trust people very easily, but once you do you're very loyal.
Friends of your own sex only
You enjoy tradition and believe boys should be boys and girls should be girls. You're more comfortable when people are in more traditional roles.
Friends of the opposite sex only
You enjoy being the center of attention, but don't like competing for it.
Friends you just party with
You love to socialize, but don't like people getting too close. You're very independent and want to stay that way.
Friends from the workplace
You love achieving, working hard, making money and always moving ahead. All the things in your life - including friendships - are geared toward making your career as successful as possible.
Different friends for different occasions
If, for example, you go dancing with one group of friends and play touch football with another, you're well-organized, but don't like to become too involved with people. You're a busy, active person.

Your head teacher is talking out of his bottom. However it's more due to ignorance than malice I expect.
There is no provision within BSF for a 'network manager' role. You'll most likely be downgraded to a IT Technician (with a suitable pay cut) then TUPED to Northgate.
The only way your headteacher can avoid this is by opting out of the managed IT services (which makes a large dent in his budget) or by making up some sort of new job role for you (Something with 'consultant' in the title will usually allow you to escape).

Foundation OBRAS
Addoley Dzegede (USA), resident in June, made short movies. One: as loucas, was selected for "Somebodies Reality", a Short Movie Festival in St Louis, Minnesota. See residents for more info on the artist.
On 22 August, Nuno Veiga (Pt, living in London) and Melina Peña (Mexico, living in Barcelona) presented AIANDO: a multimedia event (performance, sound, images) in the Castle of Evoramonte. The project took the visitor through a sensory experience, inspired by the landscape of Alentejo. An impression is in the newsletter. A video compilation is in preparation.
One of the many projects Kimberly Trowbridge (USA) during her September residency was designing the installation "Physical Memory". It is now presented on the 3rd BAM Biennial "Knock on Wood" in Bellevue Art Museum, Seattle, USA. November 2014-March 2015.
Look in the newsletter for more of her residency.
Recently she was informed that she is among the four finalists of the Neddy Award, a major arts competition in the US. Listen to an interview with her.
Poong-gyung in Evoramonte is the name of the dance performance on 23 September in the Castle of Evormonte by a Korean Artists collective BARINAMO ( Bari Kim and Namo , residents in September)
Poong- gyung is a Korean word with two meanings. One is Landscape, the other is Windchime (a device that moves with the wind). With Poong-gyung the artists investigated how to feel and express the moment. A video compilation is in progress.
Dutch poet Gerry van der Linden has been invited to present her Portuguese poems in the Hortus Botanicus of Amsterdam, Holland. She created these poems during three residencies in the past two years. We are working on a follow up that may include publication in a new anthology in Portuguese.
The Canadian textile artist Pat Loucks started during her residency at OBRAS in 2010 a body of work entitled Skin Deep. After an informal presentation at OBRAS and an exhibition in Portalegre in 2013, she gets a solo show in World of Threads Festival International, in Oakville Canada (opening 1 November).

"I LOVE these cards!! Fits plenty of pictures! Thanks so much. I never thought of sending New Year's cards, but I missed sending Christmas cards to a lot of family and friends, so I decided to try New Years cards when I saw them. Thanks for the beautiful cards!!!"
"I have made and ordered tons of stuff from shutterfly and always been more than pleased with the results! All of my Christmas and greeting cards are personalized this way. I recommend shutterfly to all my family and friends and offer to get them started and show them how to make cards and photo books. I love your products and service. I probably need to go to SFA (shutterfly anonymous) meetings. I make a personalized calendar every year, for me and others. I make a photo book after every cruise or vacation. I make 100 page family photo books for all my family members every single year, and will as long as you guys are in business. And I make lots of greeting cards, labels and unique photo gifts, as well. Actually, you should probably hire me to be your PR representative!!! Keep up the good work. Oh, and I have also experienced you standing behind your work and replacing a photo book that had unexplained markings on a number of pages. Thanks for that!"
"I like this card with the simple white border because it highlights the photo in just the right way. Sometimes a busy border takes away from a photo that has more than one person in it. Glad there is the choice to use a simple border."
"I love the entire shutterfly site! The ease of manipulating pictures and trying different fonts, colors, etc... is amazing. My favorite new part of the site is the ease of uploading from facebook, instagram and other social media. Thank you Shutterfly! I love all the products but specifically the blurred edge 5X7 folded card. I used it as an Easter card. The feed back from my friends and relatives was overwhelming! People love getting mail and seeing original cards and photos."
"I love everything I get from shutterfly and always make sure to tell my friends that this is the website where I get all of my good pictures from. Thanks for doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work!!!"
It's not too late to send warm greetings to loved ones even after the holidays. Ring in the new year with gorgeous Shutterfly cards. Wish friends and family a happy new year! You might also like: New Year's invitations and New Year's address labels.

Five Ways to Help Protect Sharks
You know that sharks are in trouble around the world. Their populations are crashing as a result of overfishing, shark finning and bycatch, and the oceans are suffering as a result.
So this shark week, what can you do to help save sharks? Here are five ways. Have other suggestions? Let us know in the comments.
1. Tell Congress to stop shark finning
The Shark Conservation Act would end shark finning in U.S. waters and make us world leaders in shark conservation. Tell your Senators to support shark protections by passing this bill.
Not only is it ecologically irresponsible to serve shark meat, it is also unhealthy. Since they are at the top of the ocean food chain, sharks bioaccumulate high amounts of mercury. For women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, this is especially dangerous. The bottom line? Stay away from shark meat.
Yes, sharks can be soft and cuddly -- when you adopt one from Oceana. When you adopt a hammerhead shark, you'll receive a hammerhead stuffed animal with a personalized adoption certificate, and your donation will help our work to protect them.
4. Educate yourself and others about sharks
There are dozens of species of sharks, from toothy great whites to filter-feeding whale sharks. The more you learn about these creatures, the more you will love them. So educate yourself and your loved ones -- especially the shark-fearing ones.
5. Spread the word: We should be scared for sharks
As our shark spokeswoman, January Jones, said in her PSA, we shouldn't be scared of sharks, we should be scared for them. Spread this message on Facebook and Twitter -- and any other way you know how.

Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) All registered, undergraduate day students, both domestic and international, all students enrolled in the physician assistant degree program, and all international graduate/doctoral students attending JWU are required to have health insurance coverage that is accepted in the United States (and the state in which the student attends class).
All students who are required to have health insurance are initially enrolled in and charged for SHIP.
If you have health insurance coverage through another means (ie, a parent's health insurance or an employer program), you can opt out of SHIP by completing University Health Plan's online waiver to demonstrate proof of coverage.
Important note: Before waiving SHIP, be sure that your current health insurance plan is accepted in the state in which you attend class and fully covers all your medical needs.
You must submit a new waiver form each academic year. Students who are required to have health insurance and do not waive the JWU plan will be charged for it.
SHIP is serviced by University Health Plans and underwritten by United Healthcare. University Health Plans' website contains a full summary of benefits, waiver deadlines and contact information. Get answers to commonly-asked questions about SHIP or view a coverage summary.
Confidentiality You have a right to confidential health care. At JWU Health Services, all medical information is confidential and will not be released without written consent, unless otherwise required by law.
After Hours Care If you need care and Health Services is not open, call your RA or Safety & Security at 401-598-1103 for a referral and/or transportation to the nearest walk-in clinic. Check the hours and locations before going off campus. Health Services is open until 10pm, Monday-Thursday.
Medical Emergencies In the event of a medical emergency dial 9-911 first for emergency assistance; then contact Campus Safety & Security at 401-598-1103.Sexual Assault Prevention and Support Services are also available.
Non-medical Emergencies In the event of a non-medical emergency requiring you to go to an off-campus medical facility for treatment, please contact us for a referral.See a list of online resources that address general health information and area services.
Allergy Care Call Health Services if you need the specialized care of an allergist and they will refer you to an allergist in the area.

The season is approaching, folks, when we curmudgeons have lots to sound off about. And there's nothing that irritates us more than the annoying, tedious and repetitive Christmas jingles and tunes we are confronted with wherever we go. Yes, it's time to be assaulted yet again by an excruciatingly dippy version of "It's A Jingly Jangly Jolly Holy Holly Santa Snowy Sleigh Ride" or some such. It really is snow joke (sorry). Once I hear Noddy Holder dementedly screeching 'It's Christmas!', I want to perforate my eardrums with a hot needle.
But I never do, of course, because not all Christmas songs are totally naff. Let Santa Parsons give you an early Xmas present and point you in the direction of some festive musical fun that will make you forget the tuneless turkeys. You might just find your heart filling up with Christmas joy if you follow the link to the podcast called The Yule Log from Hell.
It's a compilation that comes out at this time of year of 'alternative' Christmas songs: some straight, some completely off-the-wall, some politically incorrect, some plain awful, some you would definitely not want your mother to hear but all of them infinitely preferable to Wham, Slade, Wizzard and their like. Take a look below at a few of the songs featured and think where else you could find them. Why not download them all and entertain your friends and family to around 15 hours of festive glee? I have and I will - so, visitors to Colinette Barn (you know who you are!), you have been warned!
* Away In A Manger – Snap-on Tools Male Chorus
* The Bell That Couldn't Jingle – Herb Alpert & the Tiajuana Brass
* Merry F*&$ing Christmas – Denis Leary
* I'm A Christmas Tree – Wild Man Fischer
* Nutcracker – The Simpsons
* Got a Cold in the Node for Christmas – Gayla Peevy
* Give Me a Second Chance for Christmas – Mike Viola & the Candy Butchers
* Kidnap the sandy claws - Paul Rubens/Cathrine O'Hara/Danny Elfman

Gurukula Project Team Weekly Reflections [23 June 2010]: Slaughtering Chastity
By Ishvari Devi Dasi
I am the child of a devotee father and a non-devotee mother. My father has cared for me since I was three and has tried his best to raise me as a devotee. Sadly, the antagonistic influence of my biological mother created much confusion in me with regard to the values we hold dear. My confusion was such that seven months ago, at age 14, homeschooled, and already taking college courses, I played along while my mother created a legal mess based on lies and disinformation that allowed me to experience life with her. And so, my spiritual falldown began.
I attended a primary school while my father finished his doctorate and started his teaching career, but then he decided to homeschool me. He focused on my writing and mathematical skills, always connecting it to spirituality. My father would also take me to his university and let me attend his history of math lectures and other courses. When the legal battle with my mother began, I was officially enrolled in three college courses, whereas I would have been in ninth grade at a regular school. However, my mother had me enrolled at a school for dropouts. in eighth grade! Academically it was no challenge, but in terms of vegetarianism, non-intoxication and chastity, I was constantly under attack. Boys and girls would sit and lie on each others' laps, tickle, hug, and even sometimes have sexual contact (during school hours). They would also go to the movies, pubs or the beach without parental supervision. At school, even the teachers would encourage us to talk about our experiences with the opposite sex or tell us of their own experiences. Then I finally understood why Srila Prabhupada was against this type of education for devotee children. He was convinced that modern schools were slaughterhouses. He once said, "I have seen intelligent boys, they go to school and he is spoiled. Yes, spoiled. He learns how to smoke, how to have sex, how to talk nonsense, how to use knife, how to fight, these things. At least at the present moment. Yes. Simply slaughterhouse, this so-called school is called slaughterhouse. Yes, slaughterhouse."
A woman's chastity is a valuable treasure that must be protected at all times, but modern schools slaughter chastity, destroying our spiritual life. Urmila Mataji states in her essay "Teens and Celibacy" that "Parents should understand that adolescents have only three choices in sexual morality: celibacy, marriage, or immorality. Because of the danger in a society where boys and girls mix freely, marriage should be encouraged."
To correct this situation we need to take education seriously and establish our own schools. The bad influence on us devotee teens cannot be counteracted simply with a Sunday school program. Besides, regular schools do not teach us how to love Krishna or lead a spiritual life. Instead they teach us things that are not worthy and foster bad association.
I'm fortunate to have a devotee father and a second mother who is also a devotee. I regret having left them and am relieved that they have forgiven me. I hope other teens can learn from my experience and never leave devotional service allured by material attractions. As I undergo my karmi-detox program, I'm chanting the holy names and begging for the mercy of the Vaishnavas that I may remain in their hearts and prayers.

When I first saw the title of this article, "Slaughtering Chastity," I more or less expected to read a hard-hitting essay. Upon reading it however, I was charmed by the way of writing. The words came from the heart, and given the authors' personal experience, it was authentic reading. It toned down an otherwise controversial subject. So I concur with Padmapani Prabhu.
Some years ago, an uproar was caused by a rock band who released a song called, "Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter." Such belittling of this issue of chastity and real femininity – not the nature bashing women's lib type – can really be felt by those, like Ishvari Devi Dasi, who wish for a return to proper moral values. Very nice.
Ys, Kesava Krsna Dasa.

Hello everyone! How was your weekend, any...
Advent Competitions 2014
Well, it has nearly arrived, the busiest comping season of the year – The Advent Competitions! This unique time of the year will see hundreds, upon hundreds of new competitions being released by promoters every single day from 1st December 2014 up to Christmas and sometimes even afterwards! So what do you need to know before the season is here?
- Don't panic – It's Christmas after all, a time to be enjoyed! Advent comping is meant to be an enjoyable hobby, so go with the flow and enjoy the comping opportunities that are offered this time of year.
- Be focused – Decide what you really want to be winning, and focus on those in the first instance You won't be able to do every single advent, so stay focused and don't stress yourself out entering for things you don't really want or need.
- Get organised – Have a plan of action, make a spreadsheet, create a bookmark file or set up a notebook ready to put the advents that you want to focus on into, so you can check it every day.
- Stay tuned to The PrizeFinder for your one-stop shop for all your advent competitions!
Different Types of Advent Competitions
Closer to the start of the Advent Comping season we will be creating categories within this Advent section of our site, so you can easily find the competitions you want to enter. We will be splitting out differnt types of compeition:
- Web Advent Competitions
- Facebook Advent Competitions
- Twitter Advent Competitions
- Blog Advent Competitions
- Instant Win Advent Competitions
That way, you won't be bogged down with seeing lots of competitions you don't want to enter, or that require social media entry, if you don't want to be bothered with these.
Make life easy with our Competition Tracker
In addition, if you are a registered ThePrizeFinder member you will be able to make use of our competition tracker and lists facilities too. As you browse through the advent competitions, if you have no interest in a particular promoter's comp (for example, an advent offering daily pet prizes, if you have no pet), simply click the "ignore" button under the competition, and the system will remember this, and you won't see this particular advent appear in your list again. Also, if you like to track your competitions, so you know what you have and haven't entered, simply click the "entered" button, underneath the competitions you have entered. That way, you know how many comps you have entered that day, and at midnight this gets reset, so you can enter the next day's competitions afresh!
For more, hints, tips and coping strategies for the Advent Comping season – check out my blog.
So there you have it, you are all prepared and set for the Advent Competitions when they arrive. So for now pour yourself a cuppa, put on some festive tunes, and we will see you bright and early on 1st December 2014!

Ice cream cones and cocktails are two of the most enjoyable parts of summer, so why not bring them together? We're noticing a slew of spiked ice cream flavors lately -- here are some of the most interesting flavors out there.
Silver Moon, a California-based company that specializes in liquor-infused frozen desserts, has created an entire line of fruity cocktail sorbets including Mango Mimosa, Lavender Limoncello and Mojito Ice. Philadelphia's Capogiro Gelato makes summery Grapefruit Campari and Strawberry Tequila sorbets.
If a cold beer is more your style, there are quite a few breweries and creameries teaming up this summer for some thrilling beer-ice cream combos. Pennsylvania's Victory Brewing Company is incorporating their Belgain-style Golden Monkey into a banana-flavored ice cream with peanuts and caramel, and swirling their hoppy HopDevil beer into a cayenne-cinnamon ice cream with chocolate-covered coffee beans.
And if you're adept with the ice cream maker, all sorts of malty, hoppy treats can be yours. Take a look at this recipe for Brown Ale and Buckwheat Honey Ice Cream for some inspiration.
For those of you who prefer nothing more than a stem of something light and refreshing on a hot summer's day, there are plenty of wine-based ice creams and sorbets to choose from. Gelato and sorbet company Ciao Bella makes a fruity blackberry-cabernet sorbet. Mercer's Wine Ice Cream comes in several tempting flavors such as Peach White Zinfandel, Cherry Merlot and Red Raspberry Chardonay. And Glace de Vino makes Strawberry Cream Chardonnay, Raspberry Merlot Cheesecake and Chocolate Cabernet Sauvignon ice creams.
Perhaps the zaniest boozy ice cream comes from the buzzed-about San Francisco ice creamery Humphry Slocombe. One of their most popular spiked flavors, "Secret Breakfast," is a blend of bourbon-flavored ice cream and crunchy corn flakes. We'll raise a glass -- er, spoon to that!

The Best Way to Chop Nuts
By Susan Westmoreland
Special Offers
QuestionWhat's the best way to chop nuts? The food processor gives me uneven results.
AnswerIf you need a half cup or less, use a chef's knife (large, with a tapered blade). Grasp the handle and place your other hand over the tip, then carefully rock the blade across nuts until pieces are the desired size. To chop larger amounts, a food processor is best. Work in batches, about 1 cup at a time (dump one before starting the next). To avoid ending up with nut butter, put a few tablespoons of the flour or sugar from your recipe into the processor.
