What if I told you my absolute favorite homemade fudge of all time contains no dairy whatsoever? What if I told you it even uses everyday pantry ingredients, and takes just minutes to prepare? Now what if I said the version I make is even soy-free, gluten-free, and vegan? Would you believe me? Well, it really is true.
Thanks to creative bakers like Hannah Kaminsky, splurging at the holidays is fast becoming a reality for almost every special diet. From Crustless Sweet Potato Pie to Peppermint Crush Ice Cream, Hannah has a sweet recipe for all occasions in her repertoire.
And of course there is her classic dessert cookbook, My Sweet Vegan; full-color, gorgeous and enticing. From reading other blogger reviews, I can see that MSV recipes like the Golden Glazed Donuts and Triple-Threat Chocolate Cheesecake are foolproof. But I am all about the "gifts from the kitchen." Bite-sized, sugar-packed treats are the only way to go during the holiday season (or any time of year) in my opinion, and My Sweet Vegan delivers with recipes for Cherry Chocolate Truffles, Flaming Hot Peanut Brittle, Matzah Toffee, Coffee Break Shortbread, and my favorite, the following recipe for Five-Minute Coconut Fudge. Not a fan of coconut? Have no fear; you can simply omit the coconut topping (the coconut milk leaves no flavor trace), and if you wish, trial the ginger, pecan-pumpkin spice, or peppermint fudge variations …
Recipe from My Sweet Vegan by Hannah Kaminsky
"Rich, thick, and creamy, this fudge is the real stuff. Even the smallest squares will satisfy the most dedicated chocoholics. Plus, it takes mere minutes to whip up, for an instantly gratifying, and heavenly, chocolate treat."
Lightly grease an 8 x 8 inch square baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sugar, and cocoa. Separately, place the margarine and coconut milk in a small saucepan, and stir together over medium heat. Cook the mixture until the margarine has melted, and bubbles just begin to break at the surface. Remove it from the stove, and immediately pour over the chocolate mixture. Let everything sit for a couple of minutes, and then stir vigorously to melt the chocolate and incorporate the dry ingredients. Continue stirring until a completely smooth mixture forms. Mix in the vanilla, and quickly pour everything into your prepared pan. Smooth out the top and sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly over the entire exposed surface. Press the coconut gently into the fudge with the palm of your hand. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Makes 32 Small Squares
Soy-Free Fudge: Use Earth Balance Soy-Free Margarine or substitute 2 tablespoons of Coconut Oil for the margarine. Many brands of chocolate chips contain soy lecithin. If this is a problem for you, choose a "safe" brand like Enjoy Life Foods.
Ginger Fudge: Omit the flaked coconut, and stir 3/4 cup of minced / finely diced crystalized ginger into the fudge just after the vanilla. The ginger chunks infuse the surrounding fudge with a pleasantly sweet ginger flavor.
Pecan-Pumpkin Spice Fudge: From Nicole at Another One Bites the Crust, add 2 to 3 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice (depending on how spicy you like it!) with the vanilla extract. Omit the flaked coconut topping, and instead press glazed pecans (easy recipe for the pecans) into the top of the fudge before placing it in the fridge.
Peppermint Fudge: Add 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract with the vanilla extract and stir in 4 smashed candy canes. Omit the flaked coconut and top the fudge with the crumbs of 5 additional crushed candy canes instead.
This is a third pary review by Alisa Fleming (author of Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook). My Sweet Vegan is available to purchase on Amazon.
The coconut fudge is wonderful! I got an amazing response from my non vegan friends, who couldn't believe it was vegan. I also replaced half the margarine with coconut oil, which worked well, and added a little more coconut flavor. So thank you for this recipe!
I made this fudge today and it is soooo good! Creamy, smooth, and VERY rich and chocolatey. I would never guess it's made without milk or cream. I'm not vegan so I used butter instead of margarine. I will never mess around with candy thermometers and failed batches of fudge again!
Great recipe! I made this tonight for a friend of mine. I'm not Vegan myself but this Fudge is amazing. I forgot the vanilla with this first batch but it still taste yummy. Guess I'll have to remember it the next time
Just to let you know. I have now tried this fudge twice, and cannot get it to set as it should. how long does it take to set?. I have even placed it in the fridge overnight and it remains like a soft paste. Don't think I did anything wrong, as I followed the recipe exactly. Any suggestions.
After watching her scrape the bowl clean, I think my wife approves. Thanks for a great recipe. I used pumpkin seeds instead of coconut flakes for Halloween.
Do I need to incorporate the solid part of the coconut milk or just use the milk itself?
Can the fudge be frozen?
This was so delicious! I was worried that I'd have to forego my usual Christmas fudge since I was diagnosed with a dairy allergy earlier this year. Thanks to this recipe, I won't miss it at all! I added crushed pecans to my first batch but I can't wait to try out the peppermint version.
Thank you for the post of the 29 Novemver. No, I don't live in a high altitude area, but thanks for taking the tme to reply. . Perhaps I should be asking what brand of coconut milk I should buy or does it matter?
I made 2 batches of this fudge and it is completely soft. What can I do to make it set harder?I don't want to waste all the ingredients.
This fudge looks deliciously amazing and I have decided that this is the homemade gift I am giving all my relatives this year! I'm at a high altitude, so I'm crossing my fingers that I don' t have any problems making it set. I am envisioning little boxes filled with a fudge variety. How long does the fudge keep after it is made?
I couldn't get my chocolate chips to melt! I used enjoy life minis. Is that normal?
To make the chocolate melt, I mix heated coconut milk or cream twice and use more of it. If I pour all in at once, there will be chunks of chocolate in the finished fudge.
I have a 9 year old granddaughter, Alyssa, who has never had fudge. She has a severe milk protein allergy. Until this holiday season we have avoided having fudge in the house or eating it around her. A new neighbor made a wonderful batch of fudge and presented it as a Christmas gift…poor Alyssa isn't able to eat any of it! I am trying this recipe asap! Thank you a thousand times! Merry Christmas!!
I used almond milk because I don't like the flavor of coconut. Is this going to ruin the fudge?
Super easy, yummy, fits my daughters needs perfectly- I made the peppermint version. Used full fat from the can of coconut milk & it's pretty thick- will try mixing the coconut milk up instead of using the naturally separated fat & see if its a little smoother… Still, good stuff : )
Just curious if I can use natural cocoa powder versus Dutch processed? We are having a terrible blizzard and I can't get to the store!
Yes. No change in procedure is required to make this fudge.
Update- made the ginger… Wow!! My kids devoured it!!
Hello–does this have a noticeable coconut flavor? I'm wondering if I can slip it by people who usually turn down coconut desserts. Thanks for the recipe!
The coconut flavor is subtle if even noticeable. My family does not notice.
Was wondering if it would mess up the recipe if I substituted the vegan margarine with butter? We are not vegan but we are vegetarian. I really wanted to make a fudge my daughter could eat since my Grandmother's recipe calls for marshmallow in the jar. Not only is it filled with chemicals but it has food coloring that my daughter is allergic too. Thanks for posting this recipe! I am excited to try it!
I used butter once with great results. Be careful if you are allergic to casein and/or lactose though, as you may actually be reacting badly to the butter, even if you can't tell at the time, as I unfortunately learned.
Thank you!
Thanks so much for that print-or-PDF function on your website! Great to find recipes on line, but it's often a hassle to save or print the recipe (and I'm just too messy to have a laptop or a pad in the kitchen!).
Great recipe, by the way. We're all done with baking for awhile, but are going to try this for a New Year treat
Like Rachel, my chocolate (EL minis) didn't melt either when I poured over the hot coconut milk mixture. It seemed like it cooled too fast; I kept stirring, but the chips stayed intact. I ended up putting my mixing bowl over pot of simmering water until the chocolate melted. I'm still waiting for it to cool, but it looks great!
I love this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing it! I can finally make vegan fudge for my friends as holiday gifts =]
This recipe is fabulous. I measured out the confectioners sugar and the cocoa, then sifted them together. Everything melted perfectly. I made the peppermint version for Christmas. It was a huge hit. Someone said, "You made this? You should sell it, seriously!"
Just a little suggestion for anyone having anyone having trouble with the fudge setting. Could it be you used spread instead of margerine? They have a higher moisture content. This has been a problem for me in the past. I am a mom with a teenage daughter who is allergic all nuts, egg, and dairy.
[…] chocolate so I finally found a recipe that actually used chocolate. There's a website called Go Dairy Free that happened to have the recipe I was looking for. I just omitted the crushed candy canes from the […]
Yum! Thank you for the recipe. Coconut milk makes such creamy fudge. I did find that for me it was sweeter than necessary, so I made it a second time and only used 2 cups of powdered sugar instead of 3 1/2 and it actually turned out a little creamier this way (but still set) and still plenty sweet for my taste. I may try using bittersweet chocolate next time. I made the peppermint variety minus the candy canes because I found that it will keep longer this way (the candy canes start to get gooey after awhile).
[…] Five-Minute Fudge […]
For anyone at the mercy of their pantry, using trader joes reduced fat coconut milk plus a tablespoon of coconut oil worked for me.
Ooohhh…my this is so good! I had tried another vegan fudge recipe at the beginning of the month – and it didn't turn out. With hesitation – I decided to try this recipe. It is so long since I have had fudge. This rocks – and I can only hope there is still some left for Christmas. I can't believe how fast and easy it was – I practically had tears! Thanks again Alisa – and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
[…] ingredient that's definitely worth exploring. It's also the base for spectacular vegan fudge, so if you're a dessert chef, you might like to experiment with it a […]
Are you suppose to put it in the fridge and for how long?
I left mine in the fridge for a week, and it tasted no different.
Do you think I could use peanut butter in place of the margarine in preparing the "Five Minute Coconut Fudge"?
You might want to try using PB2 in the dry mixture instead
I tried this, and I like it!! It just seems a little too sweet for me, and I had to use more coconut milk then required in the directions. It also seemed a little grainy, but that is probably because I made my own "powdered sugar" with a blender and cane sugar and cornstarch. Next time I might try melting the sugar into the milk! I really liked it though Where would you recommend buying dairy free chocolate chips from that aren't ridiculously expensive? Or is there a way to make your own chocolate bars using cocoa?
In my experience, you are correct about the powdered sugar; I use confectioner sugar from Shoppers or Trader Joe's powdered sugar, and the result is a very smooth fudge.
I used what we had in the pantry – coconut manna (butter) and coco nibs instead of chips. Because the nips didn't melt I added another 1/2 C regular (love that creme on top) coconut milk. Delicious!! Thank you, I have my contribution to the next bake sale.
I have made this fudge a few times now, though I need to use more milk or cream then required in the recipe; typically, I use 2/3 cup to 1 cup instead of 1/2 cup. I have also used less sugar, no extract, unsweeted chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate, natural cocoa powder instead of dutch cocoa powder, and coconut cream instead of coconut milk all with good results. I can't tell the difference between this fudge and regular chocolate fudge. I am allergic to dairy, eggs, wheat, and soy, so this fudge is a gift from Heaven.
Do you have a recipe for plain fudge? I tried using a basic recipe of condensed milk, butter, and sugar, but with coconut cream and coconut oil instead of condensed milk and butter. The end results were both decisively not fudgey, but I am admittedly a complete newbie to this type of activity.
Would love a vanilla version!
I made a couple batches (ginger and peppermint, each) of this fudge last night to send in for a potluck today. I found that the full recipe made too flat a fudge, so I ended up scootching the fudge into only 2/3s of the pan for the ginger fudge, and then made 1.5x the recipe for the peppermint, which resulted in a thicker piece. I found as others before me that the hot coconut milk and buttery stick mixture did not have enough residual heat to melt the chocolate completely, so with the first batch I popped the whole bowl over boiling water until it mixed smooth, and with the second batch I added the chocolate alone to the hot milk mixture and made a ganache that I folded into the powdered sugar and cocoa mixture. Both set up properly, have a nice consistency and flavor, so I think there is some leeway in how you follow this recipe. Thanks for the great vegan alternative to regular fudge!
The only problem is that it is not vegan, or even vegetarian. Confectioners sugar is made with bone char.

Body Parts That Can Stand in for 6 Common Food Measurements
Keep track of portion sizes when you don't have scales, cups or spoons
By Jillian Thaw
4. One Cup
Restaurants often dole out three cups of pasta, rice and whole grains on a single plate—that's three times the recommended serving size. Check out your fist to see what one one-cup serving looks like. It works for breakfast foods, too: Most bagels contain four servings of grains, but a fist-sized one has the proper amount for a single sitting.

As ANN reported, Naomi
Campbell made headlines earlier this month after she was told by a
BA employee at London Heathrow she'd have to get off the plane she
expected to fly to Los Angeles, because one of her bags had been
lost -- not an isolated problem at the airline's new, and
horrendously trouble-prone, Terminal Five.
The 37-year-old firebrand reportedly balked at that request, and
the airline called local police to forcibly eject her. In the
resulting confrontation, police say Campbell spat on an officer,
and was hauled off to be charged with suspicion of assaulting an
According To E! Online (hey, it's a reputable source! --
Ed.) Campbell announced this week she will
boycott the British flag carrier, in response to the airline
reportedly banning her earlier this month over the incident. If
that sounds a lot like resigning from your job right after being
fired... well, we're not saying anything, for fear Campbell will
come after us next.
"Someone from BA called me and asked that I return to fly with
them, but this will not occur so early," Campbell (Naomi, mind
you, not Zoom) told Brazilian media this week. "They didn't
find my bag -- said it wasn't in the system -- and there was a
complete disrespect for the passengers.
"I am not speaking for myself," the newly-minted passenger
rights advocate added. "I am speaking for all those who have been

one airline spokesman did tell London's Evening Standard newspaper,

"Misleading book title"
Yes, I'd definitively recommend it to friends. The book is very interesting, but Pinker got the title wrong. The book explains very well WHAT the mind works, and WHY does it make sense that the mind does what it does. But the book NEVER explains HOW the mind does it.
The most interesting is the variety of topics covered in the book. Full with interesting specific cases and references to studies.
The least interesting is the lack of substance in the theory of How the mind works. Pinker basically pushes 3 ideas through: 1) natural selection, 2) the mind is made up of organs like the rest of the body, 3) the analogy of the mind as a computational device
As much as those ideas are interesting, they are old and well accepted. So, the book is just a nice way to put them together, but without bringing any new argument to the discussion.
The performance of Mel Foster was outstanding.

Maxin nsg per diem
- 1Jul 4, '10 by rdsxfnrnI live in CT, and I would like to know if anyone has had any experince with Maxim? Good or bad, would like to know...... thx
- 0Jul 4, '10 by We'llSeeI have worked for Maxim for over a year. I'm in California, so I have no comments about how they are in your area. It's not my dream job, but it works well for me as I continue my education. I feel like I've been treated fairly thus far. If you need flexible hours, this may work well for you. Best of luck to you!
- 1Jul 5, '10 by rosey2007cnaI have had interviews with Maxim and do not have the same vibes that you do about this place. There have also been some bad things said about this company on this website, so you may want to look those up if you can. By the way I do live in a different state then you do so maybe this company might be better.
- 1Jul 5, '10 by caliotter3There are many posts about Maxim on this site, most are not positive. They are the lowest paying agency in my area and are not known for being high quality by former clients.
- 1Jul 5, '10 by ArwenEvenstarDo a thread search, you will find plenty of posts about Maxim already...mostly negative. My experience with Maxim was a nightmare... unorganized, unprofessional, constant schedule mix-ups, etc! Avoid them is my advice!
- 1Jan 5, '11 by iwannaI believe that I got a little too excited about an opportunity. I had a recruiter from Maxim call me and asked if I would be interested in hospice cases. I told him that I would be. However, after really thinking about it, I realize that I am not prepared to be a hospice nurse on my own.
I was thinking about applying for Maxim, and they just happened to call me. I applied there two years ago. At first, I was thinking more along the lines of following nurse before I took case and the family may be able to help educate me as well. However, hospice is whole different scene. I really have no bedside nursing other that the geri-psych nursing. And, then we sent them out to a medical facility.
I am thinking that perhaps that I should call the recruiter back and say that after giving it more thought, I don't feel qualified to be on my own in a hospice case. However, I would be open to a case that is not too complicated. I am willing to learn, but hospice seems like I should have much more experience. I would love to do hospice with the adequate training. Perhaps, I should call the recruiter and pass this on to him.
I am just at a point where I need a job, but not willing to jeopardize myself. Does anyone have any experience in working with hospice cases for Maxim. I am afraid they would not give me adequate orientation.
- 1Jan 20, '11 by Yosemite, RNOrientation? Orientation! You're not serious, right? Oops... I bet you are. If you get more than 2 hours of orientation, count yourself lucky.
- 1Feb 2, '11 by borntowearscrubsI just had my orientation with maxim for per diem hospice work. I am a brand new RN so have no experience and this is what was open. Yeah, it kinda sucks that there is only a 1.5 hr orientation, most of which is someone handing you stacks of papers to read. But I look at it as an opportunity to get nursing experience thinking on my feet and autonomy that I might not get otherwise as a new nurse.
I will say the recruiter mislead me initially, saying they had many day and night shifts. Turns out if you actually want to work alot, you'll need to have night availability and its a 13hr shift. Yes it's unprofessional but that's the real world and dealing with recruiters of any kind.

Young Alumni Day of Giving
April 2, 2014 #Augiegives #loyalviking
The Young Alumni Challenge is on! The 2014 Young Alumni Challenge is getting kicked off with the first ever A Day of Giving event on April 2, 2014.
A Day of Giving is a 24-hour online-based fundraising event that encourages Young Alumni to come together and support their alma mater by making a gift of any size to the Augustana Fund or the Augie program most meaningful to them.
Help your class win! Give now!
|Share your impact: I just made a gift to Augustana! Join me and show your Viking pride by taking part in "A Day of Giving."
A Day of Giving Challenge
Steve and Jane Bahls have issued a $1,000 participation challenge. If Augustana receives 50 gifts from alumni from the classes of 2004-2013, Steve and Jane will make an additional gift of $1,000 to the Augustana Fund.
Prizes and incentives will be announced on the Young Alumni Facebook page throughout the day, so check back regularly for updates.
Make a gift and share your support
Join in on the Facebook and Twitter conversation and tell your fellow alumni that you gave! On April 2, use hashtags #Augiegives #loyalviking to tell others that you participated in A Day of Giving.
Did you know...
If you are an Augustana alumna/s married to another Augustana alumnus/a and you make a gift, you and your spouse will both receive credit for the gift. This means your one gift counts for two people!
Why does participation matter?
Your gift to the college, no matter what size, counts as participation. The percent of alumni make a financial gift of any size to the college is a figure used in calculating Augustana's ranking in the U.S. News and World Report. Your support impacts Augustana's ranking, which enhances the value of your degree and helps the college attract high achieving high school students. Your participation also helps Augustana receive funding from corporations and foundations - many grants put emphasis on alumni participation. The higher alumni participation number, the more eligible Augustana is for grant funding.
Why should I support the Augustana Fund?
Gifts to the Augustana Fund make an immediate difference in the lives of current students. Your gift to the Augustana Fund goes to the area of greatest need and supports critical areas such as student scholarships.
I didn't graduate during those years, can I still participate?
Yes! All alumni, parents, and friends are encouraged to show their Viking pride by making a gift to the Augustana Fund today. Your gift will be included in the total gifts recorded for the day, and you'll be eligible for various prizes and incentives announced throughout the day.
What happens after I make a gift?
After you make your gift online, you will receive an email notification that Augustana received your gift. You will receive a printed receipt in the mail a few days later. If you have questions about your online gift, email or call the Augustana College Office of Advancement, 309-794-7423.

What gave rise to Bolshevism at the turn of the century is similarly inspiring the movement that looted and burned last week in Genoa, and, before that in Quebec City, Davos, and Seattle. The experience of both causes shows how violent fanatics can gain a political stronghold, and influence the course of history, provided they choose their issues carefully-and just as carefully conceal their ambitions.
From 1916 through 1918, recall, the Bolsheviks agitated against the Russian war on Germany. The Communists were wrong on everything but that one issue, yet it was the most important. An entire generation of young men was being drafted by the Tsar and sent to be killed, even as the war was crushing the economy and spreading misery and suffering.
The Tsar seemed impervious to the suffering. Meanwhile, Lenin and Trotsky, maniacal Communists with a lust for blood, said the war was a symptom of capitalism, which makes no sense, but they called for an end to an undeniable injustice that no one else talked about. Not until after they gained power did the Communists' demonic intentions become obvious to most Russians. But once the Reds consolidated their power by murdering their adversaries, their bloody rule lasted 74 years.
The international communism movement didn't disappear after 1989; it just took on new guises and causes. The media like to talk about how diverse the protestors were in Genoa (the whites, pinks, and blacks), but this applies only to their tactics and taste for blood. They all agreed that capitalism, as embodied in the leadership of industrialized nations, needs to be displaced. In this they were homogeneous, save for a few straggling libertarians.
However, the propaganda strength of the Genoa protestors was also based in genuine complaints about the present state of things. Top of the list: US military imperialism. The US has most of the guns and cares least about the effects of their use. Everywhere on the global map where you find US soldiers (in more than 100 countries), you will also find locals who hate their guts, for their bad behavior and arrogance.
US military dominance has given rise to other complaints: that the US exercises undue political influence on governments and international agencies. In fact, many political trends of our times are best seen as attempts to provide some counterweight to the one-superpower world. Despite assurances, for example, this is precisely what the Russia-China accord was all about. The burgeoning European Union is another example.
As Bronwen Maddox argued in The Times of London, the protests and riots, which are rapidly becoming a full-scale international political movement, are directed not at the existence of international institutions as such, but at the extent of US influence over them.
And with its extreme military dominance of the world, what does the US demand? That its national interests come first. For example, the US wants free markets for the international economy but a mercantilist system of trade for itself. It wants war crimes trials for its political enemies, but demands that it not be held accountable for any terror it sponsors.
In other words, the US is behaving like a classic empire-belligerent and morally hypocritical. No, it's even worse. Never before has any empire held enough nuclear power to blow up the world, and twice as much as any other single government, and at the same time insisted, over the objections of virtually every other government, that it should be the first to shield itself from retaliatory nuclear attack. Moreover, the US is willing to throw treaties in the trash to get away with it.
The protest movement has been emboldened by the Bush administration's resolve to build a nuclear shield-the biggest government boondoggle since the superconducting supercollider, and dangerous in the bargain. In true Marxist fashion, the protestors blame capitalism as the root problem (have they noticed that the military itself is a socialist institution, entirely funded by tax dollars?) and favor Communism as the answer.
And so, inevitably, they lump together good positions the US takes (against the Kyoto treaty) with the bad positions. Just as the US military empire discredits its good economic works, the protestors mix their laudable opposition to militarism with a damnable hatred of liberty and property.
But in general these people are long on complaints and short on answers. The stock demand that international agencies do more to protect "human rights" plays right into the hands of the power elite. Thus Jacques Chirac, the French social democrat, made very sympathetic comments toward the protestors. The final statement of the G-8 included all sort of pious rambling about the world's poor, comments widely interpreted as concessions to the protestors.
The protestors have no principled objection to international agencies as such. Instead, they want to eliminate whatever good they do — opening world markets to capitalist exchange — and expand the bad that they do, which is imposing US-style regulation on the world. What may look like violent conflict between the plutocrat and the protestor is merely a disagreement between moderate and extreme attempts to subject the world to global economic management.
To understand the extent of the ideological confusion, have a look at the manifesto of the anti-globalist movement. The book Empire is written by would-be Lenins Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, and it is unabashedly promoted as the new Communist Manifesto.
The authors (Negri is in jail in Rome and Hardt is a literature professor at Duke) are economic ignoramuses. They live lives entirely shielded from commercial society. They know nothing of the library of books showing that their Marxiod views are nothing short of lunacy. And yet the book is so much in demand that the publisher (Harvard University Press) can't keep it in stock. In fact, it is back-ordered six weeks. If you are paying tuition for your child to go to college, it's a good bet that he will be reading this book in the next six months.
Here's what the book says, as gleaned from an equally insane op-ed in the New York Times (June 20, 2001). Apart from its arch tone, and cocksure sense that history is on their side, the authors' complaints amount to the usual leftist prattle about racism, sexism, and multinational corporations.
But whereas Marx and Engels were specific about what they demanded (the abolition of the family and private property, for example) Hardt and Negri are more circumspect. They merely ask for a "new system" that would "eliminate inequalities between rich and poor and between the powerful and the powerless" and "expand the possibilities of self-determination."
That last point about self-determination could mean anything (I bet not secession, however). But the point about inequality is unmistakable. Think about what it would require to "eliminate" inequality, that is, to make everyone equal in wealth and power.
Look it up: equal means the same, as in arithmetic. It cannot happen. The attempt would require a looter state on a scale that we haven't seen since, well, since the early Soviet Union. As F.A. Hayek said, "a claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers."
But Hardt and Negri don't deal with Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, or any serious thinkers in the liberal tradition. Their lunacy begins with the premise that Marxism is true and they ignore or dismiss anything that departs from that premise.
Some may call their followers anarchists, but in fact what these people want is total control. What life would be like under a regime inspired by these people is foreshadowed in the streets of Genoa: looting, burning, destruction, and chaos. The protestors did us a favor in previewing exactly what would happen everywhere on the planet if they prevail.
How can they be beaten back? So long as the academic and welfare classes stay on the public payroll, there will always be those who will protest private property and capitalist economics. But what about their growing popular support, such that 100,000 people showed up to protest in Genoa?
Return to the Bolshevik parallel. What if the Tsar had ended the draft, pulled out the troops, stopped the war, and restored normalcy? He would have strangled the Communist movement by eliminating its whole political basis of support. The Russian people would have been spared seven and a half decades of Hell on earth, and 40 million corpses.
So it is with the new Communists. If we fear them, there is only one path to victory over them. Strangle the US military empire. Withdraw the troops. Dismantle the nuclear weapons. Scrap plans to build a provocative shield.
Repeal sanctions against Iraq, Cuba, and other nations on the bad guy list. Withdraw from international agencies and mind our own business, while trading with the world.
This is not "caving in" to the demands of the protestors. It is simply doing what is right, and thereby denying them a just pretext for their political activities. To be sure, these actions would not stop the fanatic ideologues behind the anti-globalism movement. But it would take away whatever popular basis of support they enjoy.
To do this now is more important than any of the elites presently know or understand. The New Bolsheviks, already entrenched in academia and NGOs, are a growing force in world politics.
Civilization is fragile, and if the protestors get their way, we will find out just how fragile.

Cato said there were several occupants in the vehicle. During a brief investigation, agents and deputies arrested the driver, Jeremy Gunter, for DUI. Authorities searched the car and found each occupant had several large quantities of prescriptions for a schedule three controlled drug. Cato said the prescriptions had all been filled in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Everyone's seen them-seductive work-at-home opportunities hyped in flyers tacked to telephone poles, in newspaper classifieds, in your e-mail, and all over the web, promising you hundreds or thousands of dollars a week for typing, stuffing envelopes, processing medical billing, etc. And it's just a phone call or mouse click away...
Might be tempting during these uncertain economic times, but beware of any offers that promise easy money for minimum effort-many are scams that fill the coffers of criminals.

The state of Texas has sure given us some interesting and innovative musical figures over the years, including the likes of Roky Erickson, Gibby Haynes and Randy Turner. Erika Thrasher and Brandon Davis are certainly sound pioneers in their own right, and whether performing under the name of Indian Jewelry or one of their myriad other monikers (including the hilariously ghoulish Corpses of Waco), this is one act that doesn't sit comfortably as a noise band, post-punk outfit, no-wave project, psychedelic rock collective or experimental shoegaze freakout. At the same time, there are elements of all that and more in the group's mind-bending performances. With song titles that suggest more than a passing familiarity with esoteric knowledge and mysticism, Indian Jewelry will mesmerize you with far more than clever rhetoric.

[FIXED] Radeon 6990M core clock stuck at 100MHz
I had a problem with the core clock on my 6990M staying at 100MHz, never increasing to the rated 715MHz, even when the temps were low and the card was being utilized at 100% by various games. As you can imagine, this caused performance to be much lower than expected. I'm posting the solution here in the hopes that if someone else has the problem, they can save some time by following the steps I took.
Some background: I was getting framerates of 6 to 8 when playing Skyrim on High settings (the setting that Skyrim picked). GPU-Z showed that the core clock stayed at 100MHz at all times. Temps were low.
I called Alienware support. The person I spoke with took over, and downloaded and installed the Heaven DX11 Benchmark. It showed the same low framerates, and GPU-Z showed that while the benchmark was running, the clock never changed from 100MHz. He uninstalled the driver I had in place (I had put the 12.x driver on) and put the original one from Dell back in place. That didn't fix it. He tried switching back and forth between the intel gpu and the 6990M, and that didn't fix it. Finally, he said that he'd like to reinstall windows, and if that didn't fix it, then it was probably a hardware thing. I asked that we do that in two weeks, and so we made an appointment for then.
In the meantime, I continued to do some research. I read about AMD Overdrive, which lets you set the clock of your card. However, AMD Overdrive wasn't present when I brought up Catalyst Control Center. I read how to cause Overdrive to show up: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alie...ml#post7975117. Overdrive showed that the max clock was indeed set to 715MHz. For some reason, that setting wasn't taking effect. I then read about a person with a 6970 in a Sagar that appeared to have a similar problem: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sage...ml#post8183454 . He changed the clocks to slightly different values, and that fixed the problem. I set my clocks to slightly different values as well, and that fixed the problem for me as well. I then set the clocks back to their original settings, and the problem did not return. I started skyrim up, it automatically selected Ultra settings, and now I'm getting great framerates.

re: [FIXED] Radeon 6990M core clock stuck at 100MHz
David - this is a good discovery on your part. I had posted a similar finding on the M18x with 6970M CrossFire probably 5 or 6 months ago, so it's unlikely you would have ever found it. Nobody seemed to pay any attention to it at the time. I discovered it by accident experimenting with my cards to try to get them to work while waiting for back-ordered replacement video cards. (They were being replaced under warranty because of the same problem.) What I ended up doing (and it worked extremely well) was set all power states at the factory maximum default clock speeds. It prevented the AMD PowerPlay from slowing the cards down to conserve energy and that made the 6970M CF setup perform flawlessly. When I received replacement cards, they had exactly the same problem and I ended up doing the same thing to them to force them into behaving properly.
I've had nearly the same problem with the 5870 CrossFire on the M17x R2 and this trick works well there also. One or both of the cards would sometimes stay at 100MHz under load. I'm not sure why the AMD cards get stuck sometimes. It's an odd thing. Using the AMD GPU Clock Tool with the 5870 always seemed to get it "unstuck" for me.Alienware M18xR2 | 3920XM | 980M SLI | 32GB DDR3-2133 | 1TB SSD+4TB HDD RAID0+250GB mSATA |Dual 330W AC Adapter

re: [FIXED] Radeon 6990M core clock stuck at 100MHz
I got quite same problem. If you deselect powerplay from ccc, your card stuck at 100mhz. Re enabling powerplay solved the issue.

Ultimately, I think the problem is PowerPlay related, but disabling/re-enabling it did not consistently work to correct this problem in my case. This would definitely be something David could try on the chance it will work for him. If it does work, chances are that the fix is temporary and the problem may resurface later. This could be a driver related bug, which would come as no surprise with AMD video drivers. But, changing the clock speeds worked 100% of the time for me. Doing so defeats PowerPlay, especially if you change the clock speeds to all power states in the vBIOS.Alienware M18xR2 | 3920XM | 980M SLI | 32GB DDR3-2133 | 1TB SSD+4TB HDD RAID0+250GB mSATA |Dual 330W AC Adapter

Re: [FIXED] Radeon 6990M core clock stuck at 100MHz
I had the same problem last summer when I got my used Eurocom Racer. Intel 2720 and HD6970M video. Damn clock was stuck at 100 also. I also tweaked the overclocking [Overdrive] just a nudge was all it took and presto, the cards took normal clock speeds and never had the problem again. The laptop had two previous owners, but it was only like 3 months old when I got it. Not sure if thats why the other partys sold it or not. Its fixed now and running perfectly.Alienware M18X 2920XM 8GB DDR3@1600mhz ATI HD6990M [X-fire] 128GB Kingston V200 750GB HDD 1920x1080 glare Bluray

In the current economic climate, it's more important than ever to present your experience in the best light. And if you're seeking to do that, you might want to take advice from more than 500 recruiters surveyed recently by TheLadders.com, a site for the six-figure-and-above job market. The recruiters said that demonstrating a strong area of expertise can go far in setting a candidate apart from the pack. Showing that you have relevant industry experience and a solid track record of success is also critical. If you've managed a business unit or sales team, say so, since recruiters are always on the lookout for proven leaders.
Make your professional summary—which TheLadders compares to "the liner notes on a best-selling novel"--succinct and engaging. Not only list where you went to school, but detail how well you did while enrolled. Making your resume well-organized will make it easier for the recruiter to focus on your qualifications. Listing quantifiable results—those that contribute to the bottom line—can also make you a highly desired candidate. Don't forget to list certifications, length of tenure in each position and key responsibilities associated with each job. "The job search has never been more competitive and a generic, passive 'job-description' type resume simply will not make the cut in this job market," stated Tina Brasher, a certified professional resume writer. Brasher said recruiters need to see "an instant connection" when reading your resume.

About 60 demonstrators gathered in front of the Norman City Hall Wednesday evening before the city council's oversight committee met to discuss changes to the Norman's oil and gas drilling regulations.
The Central Oklahoma Clean Water Coalition hosted the rally. Organizer Casey Holcolm says the current ordinances were written before fracking became so widespread.
The State Board of Education has suspended its funding to Alexis Rainbow Arts Academy until it has provided the board with a variety of records and financial reports.
Gov. Mary Fallin said Thursday she hopes to work with lawmakers on what she called an "overhaul" of the state's budgeting process.
"We need to look at making fundamental changes in our budgeting process, even how the Legislature runs its legislative session," Fallin said following Thursday's meeting of the Board of Equalization. "In other words, I think we need to focus more on the budget and revenue streams and even possibly look at doing budgeting every year but maybe doing substantive legislation session every other year."
Oklahoma's prison system chief says the state has the drugs it needs to execute four inmates early next year and plans to administer the same three drugs used in a botched execution this spring.
Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton told a federal judge Friday the agency plans to use the exact formula used successfully in 11 executions in Florida, one that he believes is "humane."
The judge plans to rule Monday in a case in which lawyers for 21 death row inmates say the sedative midazolam presents a risk of cruel and unusual punishment.
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by media organizations that sought greater access to the execution of Oklahoma death row inmates.
U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton dismissed the lawsuit on Friday. He rejected allegations that Oklahoma's execution protocols violate the First Amendment.
The lawsuit was filed in August by Oklahoma Observer and the Guardian US news organizations following the April 29 of inmate Clayton Lockett, who writhed, moaned and clenched his teeth before he was pronounced dead about 43 minutes after his execution began.
State officials say Oklahoma's unemployment rate dipped to 4.4 percent last month.
The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission reported Friday that November's unemployment rate showed a slight decrease from October's rate of 4.5 percent. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate held steady at 5.8 percent.
Over the year, the state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was down by 1.1 percentage points.
One of Oklahoma's native daughters, Suzan Shown Harjo, received the highest honor this country bestows upon a civilian, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Harjo is founder and president of The Morning Star Institute in Washington, DC, and a poet, writer, curator, lecturer and policy advocate, who has helped Native peoples protect sacred places and recover more than one million acres of land.

Bones Review: No Room at the Innby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Following a brief federal prison riot and a heated debate over religion, mythology, germs and birthing venues, Bones and Booth welcomed a beautiful baby daughter at the end of tonight's watershed installment.
The arrival of Christine Angela Booth was sure to make for a memorable episode, but there was no guarantee it would be outstanding. You can thank show-runners Stephen Nathan and Hart Hanson for that.
"The Prisoner in the Pipe" delivered in every respect, blending laugh-out-loud humor with a heavy dose of heart and the backdrop of a murder case that, while an afterthought, still wasn't phoned in.
Considering that we knew the ending - and many details - in advance, the expectations were exceedingly high for this evening, and Hanson and Nathan deserve even more credit for coming through.
This may sound like a press release for the show, but it really was that good. Not even Fox's inadvertent sabotaging of the show with repeated schedule changes could take away from this.
Hopefully, with tonight's terrific chapter - its first on Monday night and only the seventh of Season 7 - kicking off the spring run and Bones renewed for Season 8, some normalcy will begin to sink in.
To put it in perspective, we learned Brennan was pregnant last May, yet she gave birth tonight, more than 10 months later! Rarely do things take longer to unfold in the TV universe than they would in real life.
At least it was worth the wait, as "The Prisoner in the Pipe" brought the laughs early and often, starting with B-squared's hospital tour and their repeated squabbling over where she should give birth.
To further her case for having a home birth, Brennan busted out the black light to prove that a hospital, while theoretically the safest venue, is essentially a petri dish of disease and blood stains.
It doesn't get much funnier than Brennan's blunt descriptions of female anatomy, or Booth lashing out against soccer and evil cappuccino makers when he feels like he's losing control of his life.
In a way, little has changed since the old days for the crime-solving tandem, except that she's lost 8-10 IQ points and is enormously pregnant, proving limitless material, both humorous and serious.
These circumstances also manifested themselves during the case, perhaps most memorably when the sea of prisoners parted during a full-on riot to ensure that pregnant Brennan wasn't in harm's way.
That would just be sacrilegious, after all.
The way Booth and Brennan clash over specific details (where to live, where to have the baby) and broader concepts (science vs. faith) has defined the seven episodes since they became expectant parents.
As such, the show has remained true to itself despite altering the relationship of its two leads in a way that once seemed incomprehensible. A commendable achievement, if you stop and think about it.
It's obvious that Booth and Brennan are going to make this work, and not just for Christine. There will continue to be (hilarious) arguments, but they've both grown significantly as their romance blossoms.
This was clear even before their little angel was born in a manger. Booth's "I love you" outside the prison was as special as any moment in the show's history, and wasn't even a major plot point.
As for the actual birth scene - with no room at the inn near Jamestown, and Brennan forced to deliver in a nearby barn - would've been unacceptably cheesy on any other show, yet was vintage Bones.
The writers have consistently done a wonderful job of tackling increasingly weighty subjects, yet striking the right balance with the show's comedic strengths and not taking things too seriously.
Having said that, could Christine have been introduced any other way?
The best thing about the sign saying WELCOME STAPES, for the smallest bone in the human body, is that knowing Brennan, you had to wonder for a split second if that were the actual name.
Fortunately, it's not, and after she introduced Christine Angela (named for Temperance's mom, and best friend) to the team, the closing montage was tear-inducing, ending an A-plus hour on a perfect note.
The case of the week, while clearly secondary to everything else playing out, still offered its share of mystery and noteworthy scenes, from paper shivs to acid baths and a poor man's Bernie Madoff.
Besides, as Brennan noted, at least she worked her last case before becoming a parent in an accredited health care facility. Remarkably, this did not do much to assuage Booth.
Next week, we'll begin the next chapter of this saga, with B&B and their new arrival as a family unit. How will that go? I have absolutely no idea, but can't wait to find out.
A few other observations and Bones quotes before turning it over to your comments:
- Any parent attempting to toilet train their toddler after watching this week's opening "body find" may have a hard time doing so with a straight face.
- Good to see Daisy back this week, and still as aroused as ever by Sweets. Always fun to see the Sweets-Booth bromance in effect as well.
- Best line: "She'll do it. She'll squat down right here on the lawn." - Booth, to innkeeper
- Second place: "You're not getting anywhere near my cervix, Ms. Wick." - Brennan

I just hate this show it got so dumb and stupid just like dumb and dumber.they should combine this with csi miami then it will be really dumb...
Brennan is a character (meaning like So-and-so's a real character). That's much of the fun of the show. Remember how she watched the "documentary" series on the Guido tribe and tried to deal with Jersey people in anthopology terms? Or how she listens to what Booth tells her (like about how young adults have to do dumb things in order to grow regarding his brother going to India) and applies what he says as if he's a life professor? I'm not so sure she'd care too much about being "cool," but I had no trouble with her wanting to have the baby in private where she had complete control and could experience child birth scientifically without anyone else butting in -- or her total reliance on her "truth" that she could walk through a prison riot safely. Brennan has to be Brennan -- or the show isn't any fun.
I have been searching the schedules since January waiting for this episode, and it was worth waiting for. (Although Bones threatened to squat and give birth on the front lawn, I noticed that she didn't use an upright position to give birth. Surely she knows she should have.) I almost wished she had given the baby Avalon as a middle name, since her prediction came true. (Must have been a coincidence, right?) But "Angela" makes sense, just as Angela would have given a daughter the middle name of "Temperance." This is one of my favorite series, and it lives up to its promise.
I honestly loved the episode, but I have to admit I was looking forward to more hugs and kisses between booth and bones. It was funny and the ep. Was well written but there were some disappointing moments. But over all I thought it did great!
WOW I don't know what you were watching but I thought this was one of the best Bones Shows I seen yet it had everything you wanted from start to finish great acting the crime plot was very good deep for some people Iwill watch it again because I taped it and see what I missed that always good. And the party at the end was great what more do you want? Crime danger Love and they act just like any couple argue. Good job to the writers theydid a great job. bring on the next Show!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally caved and got Netflix and re-watched the Pilot of Bones. The show now is nothing like what I enjoyed in the beginning. They've become caricatures of themselves. I was SO looking forward to Bones coming back and found myself doing anything and everything to not watch it last night. Dishes, laundry, dusting...... I was bored with Bones. A sentence I never thought I'd type........
Bones has changed so slowly from a smart, funny forensics show into a cartoon parody that I never even noticed. Oh, wait. Yes I did. Seriously -- she endangers the baby by tearing through a crowd of prisoners, assuming she's completely safe because criminals don't hurt children or pregnant women? A woman dedicated to science would rather have the baby at home, where a simple thing like a breech birth can result in death, rather than trust hospitals -- which are responsible fro bringing down the incidence of infant mortality hundreds of percent? A group of wine connoisseurs is so snobby that they refuse to help a woman going through labour, and don't even bother calling the hospital after shoving her into the horse stall? Please tell me this is the last season and that this show won't embarrass itself even further.
I don't know. I still don't see the real chemistry between Brennan and Booth. I was so disappointed when they didn't show any real romantic interludes before she was pregnant. Where were the soul searching kisses, hugs, etc. Just that one scene in the bed that was lukewarm at best.
Even after the baby was born, no real emotion was shown between them as far as I saw. Maybe I am a romantic, but PLEASE show some real emotion if we are to believe this.
Loved everything but prison riot scene, had to roll my eyes on that one...Where were the guards? Anyway fantastic to see Bones again and Christine Angela is adorable!!! :o)
on an off note i did get a little pissed that Brennan risked walking through all the prisoners on a vague belief that they have a code, she risked her baby and i don't find it entertaining though the result was. there is a line between fearlessness and stupidity. what about the criminals who are rapists or murderers of children, they wouldn't think twice about hitting a woman even if pregnant, plus sb could have hit her accidentally.
