seeking hot cross buns ...
... with a generous amount of frosting cross, not too overdone, fresh. Where can I get 'em? Roche Bros version is not cutting it for me ...
re: Bob MacAdoo
Another reason to go to the famous Kane's. This probably wins. Thanks!
re: BackBayGirl
Flour had some on Saturday. They looked great, but we didn't try them.
i'm pretty sure i've seen them in lyndell's in ball square. i have not had them there, but i've consistently and actively disliked every single thing i have had at lyndells. (i hereby single out their black and whites for special scorn.)
that said, some people do like them and if you're into that whole retro-american-fluffy-bread-n'-shortnening schtick, maybe they would fit the bill.
re: autopi
I'm also not a fan of Lyndell's (including the B&Ws), but I *love* their hot cross buns. They're only available seasonally, around April-May, for Easter. It's possible that a call or two might get them out early, and if you call, I will too.
ETA: the Hot Cross Buns and Anise cookies may the the only products I like at Lyndell's at all.
re: autopi
Lyndell's has them every year, I'm pretty sure they're available for all of Lent, but you should call and ask if you're interested. I happen to love them (and their B&Ws too, for the record!).
re: gansu girl
As long as you think of Lyndell's B/W as a wide, flat cupcake -- which is what it is -- then it's quite nice. It's not at all a proper black-and-white, but it's pretty good for what it is.
Clear Flour's HCBs are my favorites.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
You're right on, BFP - I find them to be tastier than Lyndell's cupcakes, which can sometimes trend a little dry. For me, their B&W is not traditional, but the "perfect" ratio of frosting (and I love that old-school junky bakery frosting) to moist cake. But yes, I realize it's not a traditional B&W.
I'll have to schlep to Clear Flour and try their HCBs - love most everything there.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Stopped by CF and HCB's will be available Friday 3/26 to Sunday 4/4
re: Berheenia
Wow - that's a long stretch of time! When they first started doing HCBs, they had them ONLY on Good Friday.
re: Berheenia
Good tip (convenient for me). Thanks!
re: mmocpi
Tried them but the icing wasn't right. They actually have 2 types of icing on the top, one smeared on top (the sugar kind) and then the cross was big and generous but butter cream - that was just not right tasting to me. I liked them but will try Antoine's next. Thanks.
re: mmocpi
I love buttercream as much as the next guy, but yeah, that's just all wrong for a hot cross bun. How odd.
Do give Antoine's a shot. We're probably going back for another round of them tomorrow!
re: Berheenia
A few days ago, I stopped in for some other stuff and there was a big tray of them on top of the counter. They looked great!
Had one this week from Quebrada. Usually very good but this one was very overcooked. Awful. The Cheese Shop in Wellesley usually have excellent HCBs- not sure of their supplier- but have not tried this year. BTW, Cheese Shop is not open on Sundays.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Agreed with you on this in the other thread, so I'll re-iterate here too. I've never had a HCB better than the ones at Antoine's.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Got 'em today! Fantastic!! Although still not quite enough frosting to me, the overall quality made up for that. Thanks a lot, BFP.
re: mmocpi
Yeah, I'd like to see a bit more frosting myself, but otherwise it's hard to go wrong with these. Allstonian and I demolished an entire dozen over the course of the weekend!
What about buns where the cross is made with dough? (See the Wikipedia page for an example illustration.) Does anyone around here do them like that? I was surprised to see the use of frosting/icing on some in Shaw's (in fact, I was surprised to see them at all in Shaw's) as I've never seen that used for the cross in the U.K. (Trying hard to avoid the "A" word here ...)
re: chickendhansak
I've racked my brain trying to think of the A word you mean, and I'm not sure why you were surprised to see hot cross buns in Shaw's - they're not uncommon in the supermarkets around here. The first ones I ever had were actually Entenmann's!
In any case, no, I've never seen hot cross buns crossed with dough - only icing.
re: Allstonian
I think he means "authentic."
And I too have never ever seen a hot cross bun that doesn't use icing for the cross -- not just here in Boston but basically everywhere I've ever lived -- and I agree that it's not at all uncommon for supermarket bakeries to have hot cross buns. What's uncommon is for supermarket bakeries to have GOOD hot cross buns, and actually, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever had a good HCB from a supermarket.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
That shameful word and notion, yes. But, I wasn't aware they were at all common here, which dilutes foreign claims a bit. This is the first year I've noticed them.
re: chickendhansak
Oops - sorry! "Authentic" never even crossed my mind, they're so endemic around here, icing crosses and all.
I admit I wasn't personally introduced to HCBs until I was an adult, since I grew up atheist (another "A word"), but that was still a good 30 years ago, and I'm sure they were around and common before I ate my first one.
re: Allstonian
When I was a kid, my athiest father and lapsed-Lutheran mother made tracks to Lyndell's for HCB every year during Lent . . . and that's the ONLY reason I ever found out there was a "Lent" and what it was about.
I still haven't enjoyed any this season . . . might have to beat it over there this weekend myself, before it's too late!

The chair was dad's Christmas gift, he loved it. However the packing material was not in good condition and cause to shed all over the velvet, not good. But once we went over with a vacuum it looks great and dad said its very comfortable goes well with his new 50" tv
Very comfortable and good quality of chairs! Fast delivery! I am very happy with this product.
This did arrive quickly which was nice but the chair feels cheap (like it is made of foam) and is very narrow. My son sat in it right away and I was afraid he would break it if he reclined in it too far!

Hi Kris, Why would you get a boob job? You are a beautiful woman that doesn't need anything to be done for enhancement. But if you felt like you needed to, that's okay. Please take care of yourself and I am glad that Kim is there. To think when I was 18 I had my boobs reversed. Don't do any lifting or anything that requires strain. Canada loves all of the Jenners and Kardashians! The people that don't anywhere in the world don't know you or the family and my personal opinion is they are all jealous that they couldn't make an empire the way you did! Hugs & kisses and take care. Bev
bjwarren | Posted on Sep 12th, 2012
Kris. Would you please give Kim a message for me. You can tell her that I have belonged to Shoe Dazzle for a year and besides the purses, jewellery, and all accessories that I have bought from there, my biggest and most proudest purchases that I have made is: Purchasing 100 pairs of footwear in one year and I am still going strong with purchasing. The only pair I haven't worn is the pair I bought and donated them to the MS society ride here in Canada and the lady that won them absolutely loved them and I told everybody at the ride for MS was that they came from the company Shoe Dazzle and my stylist is Kim. I also donated a purse, the size of a tote. They were thrilled to have both of these donations and were put into a silent auction and the amount made just on that pair of shoes was just quite high and the purse came in at a really good price as well. That was a win win situation for both people to win and a great contribution to the MS Society. Thanks to Kim and Shoe Dazzle. But the best part after the ride was all done (185 miles over 2 days) lots of other people joined Shoe Dazzle to get great footwear and everything else that goes along with it. Please give Kim this message for me if you wouldn't mind. Also tell her that the orange shoes that were donated for the MS function in the USA, I ordered and wore them on our MS function day. It was my way to myself to thank Kim. You have a very special family Kris.

main index
"Come away, come away, death, and in sad cypress let me be laid; fly away, fly away, breath; I am slain by a fair cruel maid. My shroud of white, stuck all with yew- oh, prepare it! My part of death- noone so true did share it."
— Twelfth Night, Act II Scene IV (novel's epigraph)
"Mrs Welman, whose money went to Elinor Carlisle, was murdered by morphine; Mary Gerrard, who stood between Elinor Carlisle and her fiance, was murdered by morphine. And nobody in the world had the slightest motive to commit these murders other than the accused; noone had the slightest opportunity other than the accused."Murder mystery novel by Agatha Christie. Elinor Carlisle seems to be the only possible suspect for the murders of her wealthy aunt, Laura Welman, and her romantic rival, Mary Gerrard. However, doctor Peter Lord, who is in love with Elinor, asks Hercule Poirot to clear her name, insisting she can't be guilty, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Poirot points out that there's an extremely strong case against her, but still he agrees to investigate the case and find out the truth.The novel opens with a prologue where we get to see part of Elinor's trial and follow some of her thoughts, and proceeds with a series of flashbacks which tell the story in three parts. It contains Courtroom Drama; it's one of the two times Christie used the lovely-woman-in-the-docks plot (the other being Five Little Pigs, to a much lesser extent.) Interestingly, instead of having a Summation Gathering, the solution is presented at court at the end of the book. The novel has been criticized for its abrupt ending and lack of plausible suspects, but it has received positive reviews as a suspenseful and well-written detective story.The novel has been adapted for radio in 1992 by BBC Radio 4 with John Moffat as Poirot. It has also been adapted for TV by London Weekend Television as part of the Poirot series in 2003 starring David Suchet as Poirot and Elizabeth Dermot-Walsh as Elinor Carlisle.

Chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy
Chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy is a long-term blockage of urine flow from both kidneys. It is a slow blockage that gets worse over time.
Bilateral means "both sides."
See also:
- Alternative Names
Obstructive uropathy - bilateral - chronic; Kidney failure - chronic blockage
- Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The most common cause of chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy is a condition called bladder outlet obstruction. The kidneys produce urine in the normal manner but the urine cannot leave the bladder. Urine backs up, causing kidney swelling and damage.
When the blockage causes urine to back up into both kidneys, hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidneys) results. High blood pressure and kidney failure can result.
In men, chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy is most often a result of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Other causes of chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy include:
- Bladder tumors
- Prostate tumors
- Tumors or masses of the uterus or other structures around the bladder neck or urethra
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis
- Narrowing of the urethra due to a birth defect or scar tissue
Chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy occurs in about 1 out of every 1,000 people.
- Symptoms
Symptoms depend on the nature of the obstruction and where in the urinary tract the obstruction occurs.
Some of the most common symptoms of chronic obstructive uropathy include:
- Stronger and more frequent urge to urinate
- Difficulty initiating the flow of urine (urinary hesitancy)
- Dribbling of urine, incontinence
- Decreased urine output
- Decrease in the force of the urinary stream
- Increased need to urinate at night
- Burning or stinging with urination
- Feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder
- Alternating times of increased urine output and decreased urine output
- Fever and chills (if there is also a urinary tract infection)
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:
- Nail problems
- High blood pressure
- Abnormal urine color
- Signs and tests
A physical exam may show swollen or tender kidneys. The bladder may be large and full. A rectal examination may reveal an enlarged prostate. Blood pressure may be high.
Blood tests will be done to check kidney function, electrolyte balance, and blood cell counts. Urine tests may reveal a urinary tract infection.
Other tests that may be done:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Bladder scan
- CT scan of abdomen and pelvis
- Kidney scan
- Uroflowmetry
- Treatment
The goal of treatment is to get rid of the blockage. You may need to stay in a hospital for a short while.
Treatment may include:
- Antibiotics to treat urinary tract infection
- Catheterization-- the placement of a tube into the body to drain urine (See: urinary catheters)
- Dialysis if kidney failure occurs
- Laser or heat therapy to shrink the prostate if the problem is due to an enlarged prostate
- Surgery such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
- Other types of surgery for disorders causing blockage of the urethra or bladder neck
- Expectations (prognosis)
Bilateral obstructive uropathy may be reversible if the blockage is corrected before kidney failure develops.
Chronic kidney failure leads to long-term kidney damage that can be life threatening.
Patients with a chronic blockage are at a higher risk for complications due to catheter use. Long-term catheter use (such as with a Foley catheter) may make the kidneys unable to concentrate urine. As a result, your body removes large amounts of urine that haven't been properly processed. This is called post-obstructive diuresis. It can be a life-threatening condition. Close monitoring is required.
If the obstruction was caused by cancer, the ultimate outcome depends on the disease severity and your response to treatment.
- Complications
- Chronic kidney failure
- Complications due to long-term catheter use
- Chronic or recurrent urinary tract infection
- Long-term incontinence or urinary retention
- Formation of ureter or kidney stones
- Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if decreased urine output or other symptoms of chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy develop.
- Prevention
Routine screening (and treatment) for lower urinary tract disorders may help prevent this condition. A digital rectal exam is used to screen men for prostate problems.

Men of a Certain Age Review: "The Great Escape"by Dan Forcella at . Comments
The best scenes in Men of a Certain Age come when the three leads - Ray Romano, Scott Bakula, and Andre Braugher - get to interact with each other. While"The Great Escape" didn't give us a lot of that, the final moments with Terry and Owen listening to Joe's story in the diner was exactly what this show is all about.
It's three guys working their way through life at that "Certain Age" and having a couple of friends with whom to do it. As is the case most days, all three of had some heavy stuff going on, and it was really nice to see Joe's friends be there for him in the end.
As the title states, there was a lot of escaping going on. Owen is potentially escaping from the iron fist of his father, Terry escaped from what turned out to be a sham of a relationship, and Joe narrowly escaped making things extremely confusing between him and his ex-wife.
Romano is what has kept me loving this show, and that didn't change with his performance here. Between his inability to figure out what he wanted to do with the Sonia situation and his ability to help quasi-friend Manfro through his trying times with cancer, Joe was once again a joy to watch.
And, as always, Manfro made up most of the laugh out loud moments. Whether it was making up Italian words, making "last dinner" jokes, or having serious conversations with strippers, he really had it going comically.
Elsewhere, Owen's professional rise has been a joy to watch. And now that he has decided to do what he wants, taking no crap from Daddy Thoreau, it may get even better.
With all the talk of the Scarpulas over the past season and a half, I'm glad one finally stopped by Thoreau Chevrolet. He was every bit as grimy as I expected, but in offering to buy out the dealership, he provided plenty of enjoyment to the viewers. Owen staying up all night trying out all of his wife's new products was extremely fun. It is always a joy to see big, scary Braugher doing silly things like vacuuming.
And finally we get to Terry, who remains the one character that is difficult to get behind. Maybe it is because he is all over the place in life, or maybe because Bakula plays him so fidgety all the time, but I had to convince myself that Erin was too good for Terry early on.
Boy was I wrong. Terry was in this thing for the right reasons, and much to all of our dismay, Erin was not. I did not see that coming; at no point did it seem like she thought what they had going was a fling. Then again, maybe the show was just doing a good job at only portraying her through Terry's eyes. He DEFINITELY didn't think she thought it was just a fling.
In the end, I felt really bad for how it all worked out for Terry, and maybe this will make it easier to sympathize with him moving forward. And kudos to him for allowing Joe to expound on his past couple of days first when the three guys got together at the diner.
They all escaped, but did they all want to escape? What did you think of the premiere? And how glad are you to have these three goof balls back in your lives?

I watched it for the first time last night and it would have been a good show, but the stupid camera work really sucked! They hired "Shaky the Cameraman� who's been out of work since he got fired from the first season of NYPD Blue. Seems he can't find his tripod or any lens but the telephoto. He managed to cut the top of everyone's head off. Then there's the moron in the editing booth who thinks no one has an attention span more the 0.75 seconds. Gee whiz, he can sure make a lot of edits. Wow zip. I actually started to get sea sick toward the end of the show! What the hell are these people thinking? If it's gone, good riddance.
I guess these reviews are gonna stop pretty quick with no interest.
I am in this age bracket...I want to love this show, but there's stuff in the lives of these guys that just rings false. I agree that Bakula's read of his character is twitchy. And he's really hard to like. That is the part that is cool about the character. Guys would stay together as friends even though one doesn't fit because they've ALWAYS been friends. It's an interesting choice. Manfro sucks. But 'jimajeets' is gonna go into my lexicon toot sweet.

I loaded a roll into the Nikon so that I could keep track of the exposure and shot it between iso25 and iso400. Some are certainly over exposed and some are under, but every frame on the film returned a scannable image. Unfortunately, I lost my notebook with a gust of wind into the ocean, so I can't share the actual findings.This photo was shot on film. Taken by troch with a Nikon FM2 loaded with Lomography RedScale (35mm, 50-200 iso) film in Ruby Lake, Canada. These tags describe this photo: 35mm, scenic, redscale, spring, and canada. This photo can also be found in the album Playing With Redscale.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The concept of an archetype /ˈɑrkɪtaɪp/ is found in areas relating to behavior, modern psychological theory, and literary analysis. An archetype can be:
In the first sense, many more informal terms are frequently used instead, such as "standard example" or "basic example", and the longer form "archetypal example" is also found. In mathematics, an archetype is often called a "canonical example".
The word archetype first entered into English usage in the 1540s[1] and derives from the Latin noun archetypum, which the latinisation of the Greek noun ἀρχέτυπον archetupon, whose adjective form is ἀρχέτυπος archetupos and which means "first-molded,"[2] which is a compound of ἀρχή archē, "beginning, origin"[3] and τύπος tupos, which can mean, amongst other things, "pattern," "model," or "type."[4] The word 'pattern' comes from the Greek root 'pater-', meaning 'father'.[5] So archetype can be understood as the principle pattern, from which others are copied from.[6]
The origins of the archetypal hypothesis date back as far as Plato. In the seventeenth century, Sir Thomas Browne and Francis Bacon both employ the word 'archetype' in their writings. Browne employed it in The Garden of Cyrus in some attempts to depict archetypes in his citing of symbolic proper-names. Plato's ideas were pure mental forms that were imprinted in the soul before it was born into the world. They were collective in the sense that they embodied the fundamental characteristics of a thing rather than its specific peculiarities.
The concept of psychological archetypes was advanced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, c. 1919. In Jung's psychological framework, archetypes are innate, universal prototypes for ideas and may be used to interpret observations. A group of memories and interpretations associated with an archetype is a complex ( e.g. a mother complex associated with the mother archetype). Jung treated the archetypes as psychological organs, analogous to physical ones in that both are morphological constructs that arose through evolution.[7]
Jung states in part one of Man And His Symbols that:
My views about the 'archaic remnants', which I call 'archetypes' or 'primordial images,' have been constantly criticized by people who lack a sufficient knowledge of the psychology of dreams and of mythology. The term 'archetype' is often misunderstood as meaning certain definite mythological images or motifs, but these are nothing more than conscious representations. Such variable representations cannot be inherited. The archetype is a tendency to form such representations of a motif—representations that can vary a great deal in detail without losing their basic pattern.
Archetypal literary criticism argues that archetypes determine the form and function of literary works and that a text's meaning is shaped by cultural and psychological myths. Archetypes are the unknowable basic forms personified or made concrete by recurring images, symbols, or patterns (which may include motifs such as the 'quest' or the 'heavenly ascent;' recognizable character types such as the 'trickster' or the 'hero;' symbols such as the apple or snake; and imagery) and that have all been laden with meaning prior to their inclusion in any particular work.

Texas Education Agency wants $64 million to help teachers with reading instruction
As I noted a few days ago, it's budget request season for Texas state agencies. The TEA has its wish list. One of the items suggests that the flat STAAR scores are due to teachers not knowing the best way to teach reading. Literacy Initiative Exceptional Item #1 explains it this way:
Over the past few years our reading scores have remained stagnant. Student demographics have changed, and there has not been a consistent focus on the best approach to teaching reading. Previous reading academies were shown to have an impact on reading scores. In an effort to be cost effective and to build on an initiative that demonstrated success in the past, this initiative will update the original Teacher Reading Academies (TRA) for kindergarten through grade 4 by updating the professional development content, aligning it with the structure and content of the recently released writing initiative, and creating quality online alternatives for teachers who may not be able to attend face‐to‐face academies. Since the grade 5 academy was never developed, this academy will be created to ensure alignment with other grade levels and bridge to the adolescent literacy academies that were developed for middle school. Additionally, in order to further support quality prekindergarten programs, an early literacy academy will be developed to set the foundation for teaching reading in elementary school and will align with the TRA. Finally, this initiative will provide reading support specifically for English language learners so that they are able to achieve at the same levels in reading and writing as their native English‐speaking counterparts.
It's a blast from the past. The original academies were created under Gov. George Bush. And then the Legislature stopped paying for them. I'm not sure that the demographics have changed so much that you can blame flat test scores on that, by the way. It's not like non-minority or non-poor kids have been consistently hitting home runs on STAAR.
The request is for $64 million split over two years. Like other budget requests, this is subject to the combined wisdom of the Legislature. So it's too soon to be betting heavily on it happening at this point. But maybe. Download the full proposal here. It's the "Literacy Initiative."
