I was once married to a guy, Kidd, who really loved cats. Our birthdays were a day apart, and he was famous for giving great presents. Me, not so much. One year we went out to lunch on my birthday and afterward wandered into the Cat Shoppe, a retail store for cat lovers, carrying everything from cat-adorned merchandise to the cats themselves. And, for some reason, Kidd wanted a white cat...

Took two foundation brushes for a test drive this week - this one from Px, and the considerably cheaper version from The Body Shop. This little sucker won, hands down. Stiff bristles, nicely shaped, and the handle's exactly the right length - not too long, not too short. :) Great for blending, getting in tight spots around your nose, eyes, etc., and you will use far less foundation than with sponge application. Caveats - it should come in its own little plastic case for the price (not the cheap flimsy package they give you) and, well, I can't think of any others. It's a great brush and, if properly cared for, it will likely last for many years to come. :)
Totally makes a difference with my foundation application. I use less product (I hate applying foundation with my fingers and sponges just soak up foundation) and it gives smooth, even application. The way I see it: A good foundation brush is a wise investment.
I guess I'm a minority, but this didn't do anything special. My makeup looked exactly the same as when I apply with my fingers, except that I felt I wasted more foundation with the brush. It was a waste of money for me. UPDATE: I got a Stila foundation that was very heavy and hard to apply. I've been using the Foundation Brush, and it is definitely working better than applying with my fingers. Guess it depends on the foundation.
I bought this on the recommendation of the Prescriptives person, but I have to say it was worth it. I have no trouble applying my foundation evenly and it washes off very quickly. I have had the brush for almost a year and I haven't lost a single bristle. Great buy -- should last a lifetime!
After procrastinating more than a year, I am pleased to have splurged on this fabulous brush that really allows for a smooth application of the PX Virtual Skin foundation. A must have!
My first foray into foundation brushes. I use this with the Px Virtual Skin foundation. No shedding hairs, easy to wash after each use, and quick drying (I use this once a day). Makes it very easy to layer foundation.
Pretty good foundation brush. I have washed this brush a number of times and it really does maintain its shape quite well after each washing. It does a good job of applying foundation. Now, I just have to find a foundation that I truly like to go with it =/. The Prescriptives foundation seemed to make my oily skin even oilier.
My DH commented on how good my makeup looked after I used this brush for the first time at the PX counter!! Nuff said.
I have never had a foundation brush before, but I bought this and like it quite a bit. It is $30, but that is pretty typical for foundation brushes. I really like the ultra-soft bristles and the sleek silver handle. The only con is that I feel like I use a bit more foundation than I would with my fingers because the brush soaks it up. It was a bit tricky to get used to the brush but I finally found a method that works for me. I like my foundation to go on ultra-sheer and even so I put a bit of alcohol free toner on the brush and then dip it into my liquid foundation. I use short quick strokes and make sure to blend throroughly. The result is perfectly even, light foundation that evens out my skintone and looks great. I'm reallly glad I purchased this brush.

Fired Arts & Crafts sponsors Fired Arts Pavilion at Las Vegas Glass Expo |
Tuesday, 09 October 2012 08:07 |
Manufacturers and studio owners have been trying to come up with ways to create new interest in ceramics for years. The Glass Craft & Bead Expo in Las Vegas is where thousands of enthusiastic glass artists gather each April for over a week of workshops and a three-day trade show filled with suppliers showing and selling their latest products. Glass fusing, metal clay, and ceramic artists all have the kiln in common. So the staff at Fired Arts & Crafts approached the show organizers and came up with a plan to set up a Fired Arts Pavilion within the event to show off the "other" fired arts. The pavilion sold out quickly! A central, interactive demonstration and make-and-take area will showcase all the other fired arts methods from April 5 through 7, 2013. Fired Arts & Crafts has exhibited at this show for years, and associate publisher Jacquie Morton said, "I've seen the excitement and interest in all forms of fired arts from this passionate group. It completely makes sense for us to reach out and show all these people (familiar with a kiln) some other things they can do." Exhibitors in this area include Aardvark Clay, American Ceramic Supply, Bisque Imports, Ceramics Unlimited, Chesapeake Ceramics, Clay Puzzling, Colors for Earth, Contemporary Ceramic Studio Association, Fired Arts & Crafts, Gare, Mayco, and Shimpo Ceramics. Many other industry suppliers, including kiln companies and glass dealers, already exhibit at the show. Convention Show Manager Patty Cerajewski said she loved the concept and is eager to welcome the new addition to the show, since more and more artists are crossing over from glass into ceramics and combining the two for unique creations. For more information on workshops and details about the show, go to www.glasscraftexpo.com or watch future issues of Fired Arts & Crafts. |

California Supreme Court questions constitutionality of Jessica's Law
Nick Ut/Getty Images/Pool
Is Jessica's Law constitutional? Beneficial?
Proposition 83, better known as Jessica's Law, is facing scrutiny by the California Supreme Court. The Court will consider whether harsher punishment for sex crimes violates the Constitutional right to equal protection. The 2006 ballot measure prohibits convicted sex offenders from living near parks and schools, imposes higher fines, and permits indefinite confinement for sexually violent criminals. Should sex criminals be subject to indefinite confinement, even after serving their prison sentence? Does Jessica's Law deter sexual violence?

Well, can I say? We read all that we could, including your blog, to make an educated decision prior to buying a new mattress and I admit it, we are beaten, there's no other word to better describe the situation. Since we like flat beds and don't care for the sinking in feeling, we went with the NXG 100 firm, as recommended for a longer longevity. Finding it painful to sleep in and waking up with lots of pain after 3 weeks, we followed the advice of many and went back to the store to request an exchange for the next model up, the 250 firm. After a one week wait and 450 dollars extra with taxes, we got the 250. No more hip pain but now my shoulders hurt and I wake up with a back ache. Boy, what a wrong move! It's amazing what an extra inch and a half can do!
Since we can't exchange it (the store won't even consider it even we're willing to take a 500 dollars loss) and can't afford another mattress anyway, is there anything at all we can do to make the surface seem a little less lumpy by way of a topper or else? Thanks for your help.
Hi Nicole,
A topper will help a lot...would have been the thing to do with the 100.

The 2011 season is getting closer and chances are you have already drafted your fantasy football roster and are ready to roll into the 2011 season, but before all the fake football excitement gets rolling, here are some tips and tools for anyone who is new to the game of fantasy football.
These tips and tools are not meant to be an all inclusive list… I cannot give away everything I know… Some of you probably play in some of the same leagues I do.
Some tips and tools are useful before the draft, some are useful throughout the season and some will simply help boost the enjoyment of playing the game. Hopefully, these tips and tools will come in handy for those of you who are fantasy football veterans as well. As always, let me know your thoughts, or add to the list in the comments section below.
Fantasy Football Tips
Join a money league
To me, this is one of the biggest things to help boost the enjoyment of playing the game. Who cares if you have won a free league on ESPN for 5 straight years? Nobody! In most free leagues, nearly half of the league will become noncompetitive midway through the season and the owner will bail on their team. Even if you are in a family league, convince everyone to toss in $10 each… The level of interest will be increased ten-fold.
Stay active, no matter what!
The more active you are in a league, the more enjoyment you will get out of it….. Regardless of your final record.
Offer trades on a regular basis; this will let other teams know you are fully committed to the game. When offered a trade, review it and reply to it in a timely manner. ALWAYS include a message when you decline a trade. Let the other owner know if the player he/she wants is untouchable or if you want more or different players.
Actively improve your roster weekly… Or more often. No matter your record, always try to improve… When you are out of playoff contention, helping knock your #1 rival out of the playoffs can be nearly as satisfying as being there yourself.
Talk trash: Don't be a dick, but friendly trash talk about trades made, match-ups to come and friendly wagers will make your league much more entertaining. As example: A buddy and I always bet the name of our teams when we match-up each season… Winner naming the losers team for the remainder of the year.
Find out how each owner prefers to communicate. Some owners prefer email, some text message, some phone call, some Facebook, some Twitter… I think you get the point… Everyone prefers to communicate in a different manner. When you're trying to work out a trade, bend to their preference, even if it means going outside your preferred method of communication.
Know and understand the rules
Spend five minutes and read the league rules. Any decent league commissioner will have a written rules document which explains anything that may be confusing, but if not, send an email or make a message board post asking for clarification… This will save you from looking like a dumb ass later in the season when you accidentally break a rule.
Fantasy Football Tools
Cheat Sheets
Every fantasy player needs to have a cheat sheet in front of them on draft day. Generally, this is a list of players listed in an overall ranking, and also broken down by position. If you're drafting online, your live draft room has a cheat sheet built in, but remember, everyone else who is in the draft room has this SAME cheat sheet. Find one you like from a site different than where your league is hosted, then tweak it to your liking. This way, your list will not be identical to the list everyone else is looking at.
- ESPN Standard Cheat Sheet
- FF Tool Box Cheat Sheets
- KFFL Cheat Sheets
- CBS Sports Fantasy Football Draft Kit
You can even buy a fantasy football preview magazine, but keep in mind, most of these cheat sheets are a month or more old. Most websites update their cheat sheets weekly, or even daily!
Average Draft Position (ADP)
ADP is similar to a cheat sheet, even used by some owners instead of cheat sheets. ADP lists can come in handy to find out the consensus of fantasy football players and how they are currently viewing the value of a player. The difference? Cheat sheets are the rankings of the website, ADP is actual data from drafts/mock drafts as how actual fantasy players are selecting NFL players. There are many sources for ADP lists, just search for "Fantasy Football ADP" in Google. Here are some of the best:
- MyFantasyLeague.com - My favorite, MFL doesn't offer free leagues, so their ADP is based off people who pay to play. You can also select basic setting to display the list as close to your league as possible.
- FFtoolbox.com - Taken from a mix of mock and real drafts.
- FantasyFootballCalculator.com - ADP info is based off mock drafts FFC mock drafts.
- ESPN Live Draft Results - ESPN also offers a list based on mock drafts… Stay completely away from that one.
When using ADP as a tool, remember, it is only a tool to help you stay within a range. Don't feel obligated to stick exactly to the ADP when drafting.
Mock Drafts
Essentially practice drafts. Many website offer mock drafts for you to practice drafting so you can get a feeling for where players are being drafted and their value. Most mock draft websites allow "rules" to be set up to be similar to those of your real league. Some sites:
I tend to stay away from ESPN… There are a lot of people who register, then don't show or bail out after the 1st round… It isn't until later in the draft where you can get some great deals, and that's what I am most interested in.
If you haven't used Twitter before now, fantasy football is your chance to get quality use out of the website. When explaining Twitter to a new or potential user, I describe it as: On Facebook, you have conversations about things you don't care about with people you know. On Twitter, you have conversations about things you care about with people you don't know.
Yes, there are also people on Twitter who only talk about what they had for lunch, their brat children, etc… but Twitter can be MUCH more useful for up to the second information, news and advice.
Rather than a big write-up about using Twitter for fantasy football, I will direct you to the definitive article on the topic, courtesy of @Chetrazzball: Twitter 101 for Fantasy Football
Local media
One thing I will add to the Twitter section: Find a team's/player's local sports writers, bloggers and sports talk personalities. The information they give is usually more valuable than that of the national media. These people cover the team/player on a day-to-day basis, therefore have more invested in getting the information correct, rather than just being first to report it.
This also goes for local newspapers online, sports radio broadcasts online, team blogs. When you hear national news about your player, a player you want to trade for or pickup in free agency, check the player's local media for REAL information.
Smaller websites/bloggers
This section ties to the local media and Twitter sections. I NEVER listen to ESPN (or CBS Sports, etc) when it comes to fantasy football… Why? Everyone else is getting the exact same advice. Stay away from the information listed on the website where your league is hosted. Instead, go out and find you own, unique sources of info/advice.
In addition to everyone getting this information, ESPN always has a tendency to sensationalize EVERYTHING for ratings, so the advicce given by the large media outlets may, in fact, not have the viewer's/reader's best interest at heart.
Email bloggers and websites with questions and/or ask on Twitter… Twitter is FULL of fantasy football Q&A every Sunday morning! Make sure these bloggers give you reasons… Not only recommendations. You need to know WHY, not simply WHO!
If you need fantasy advice, send Chiefs Command an email, we answer every question!
Update September 8, 2011
I thought of a few more tips right after submitting the post, so here are some more:
- Unless required by the league rules, only draft 1QB, 1K, 1TE and 1 D/ST. Anything more is a waste of roster space. These extra roster spots are much more valuable when used to block other owners from improving their rosters.
- Make an effort in every round of the draft, don't give up in the late rounds. Great point producers can be found in every round and you will have the advantage when other owners have given up.
- Don't be a homer! This point ties into the previous tip. In mid to late rounds of the draft, many owners will mindlessly begin taking their hometown team's players. Let them. Owners will always overpay for players on their favorite team, saving draft day bargains for you.
- When deciding between players in the draft or free agency, don't put too much weight into the opinions of league-mates, no matter how good of a friend they are. Do your own research. They will not always have your best interest at heart.
- Practice and master the art of disinformation. Misleading league-mates about the value you place on players can benefit you greatly. Talk up the ability and skills of all of your players. When your players have a good game, make a post on the message board telling everyone how good your player is. Send similar text messages to friends in the league. Then, when they buy into your comments as well, you can get the most value out of him in a trade.
Good Luck!
By using these few simple tips and tools, the new fantasy football player can quickly catch up to, and even surpass many veteran fantasy football players… Especially those who think they know-it-all, yet refuse to use all the tools available to them.

Michael Stern Hart (March 8, 1947 – September 6, 2011)[1] was an American author, best known as the inventor of the electronic book (or ebook) and the founder of Project Gutenberg, the first project to make ebooks freely available via the Internet.[1][2][3] Most of the early postings were typed in by Hart himself.
Early life[edit]
Michael Hart's father was an accountant and his mother, a former cryptanalyst during World War II, was a business manager at a retail store. In 1958 his family relocated to Urbana, Illinois, and his father and mother became college professors in Shakespearean studies and mathematics education, respectively. Hart attended the University of Illinois, graduating in just two years.[4] He then attended but did not complete graduate school. He was also, briefly, a street musician.[5]
Project Gutenberg[edit]
During Hart's time there, the University of Illinois computer center gave Hart a user's account on its computer system: Hart's brother's best friend was the mainframe operator.[6] Although the focus of computer use there tended to be data processing, Hart was aware that it was connected to a network (part of what would become the Internet) and chose to use his computer time for information distribution. Hart related that after his account was created on July 4, 1971, he had been trying to think of what to do with it and had seized upon a copy of the United States Declaration of Independence, which he had been given at a grocery store on his way home from watching fireworks that evening. He typed the text into the computer but was told that it would be unacceptable to transmit it to numerous people at once via e-mail.[6] Thus, to avoid crashing the system, he made the text available for people to download instead.
This was the beginning of Project Gutenberg. Hart began posting text copies of such classics as the Bible and the works of Homer, Shakespeare, and Mark Twain. As of 1987 he had typed in a total of 313 books in this fashion. Then, through being involved in the University of Illinois PC User Group and with assistance from Mark Zinzow, a programmer at the school, Hart was able to recruit volunteers and set up an infrastructure of mirror sites and mailing lists for the project. With this the project was able to grow much more rapidly.
The mission statements for the project were:
- "Encourage the Creation and Distribution of eBooks"
- "Help Break Down the Bars of Ignorance and Illiteracy"
- "Give As Many eBooks to As Many People As Possible"[6]
His overall outlook in the project was to develop in the least demanding format possible: as worded in The Chronicle of Higher Education, to him, open access meant " open access without proprietary displays, without the need for special software, without the requirement for anything but the simplest of connections. "[7]
Other activities[edit]
Hart was an author and his works are available free of charge on the Project Gutenberg server. He was also a member of the RepRap Project, which aims at creating a self-replicating machine.[8]
Hart was involved in an early effort (circa 1993) to develop a free and openly accessible "Internet Encyclopedia", called "Interpedia".[9]
Personal life[edit]
Hart cobbled together a living with the money he earned as an adjunct professor and with grants and donations to Project Gutenberg.[10] He supported himself by doing odd jobs and used an unpaid appointment at Illinois Benedictine College to solicit donations for the project. "I know that sounds odd to most people, but I just never bought into the money system all that much. I never spent it when I got it. It's all a matter of perspective".[11] Hart's expenses were minimized by his habits of using home remedies, fixing his own house and car, and building computers, stereos, and other gear from discarded components.[1]
Hart died on September 6, 2011 of a heart attack at his home in Urbana, Illinois. He was 64.[2][10]
Writing style[edit]
Michael Hart's email messages and blog posts had equal line length paragraphs in monospaced font: he chose the wording in such a way that each line had the same number of characters.[12][13][14]
Sample (from his last Newsletter, 21 June 2011):[15]
As many of you know, just 5 years ago or so Australia's Parliament voted a resolution to resist those copyright extensions that had recently taken place in the US, EU, and other locations, but only a few years later tumbled into line after a few rounds of economic warfare levied upon them by The Mouse or other long copyright holders.

I have a small area of weeds close to the boundary and want to use ground clear. The land the other side of the boundary wall is about 2 feet higher than my land. Is it safe to use ground clear - or will it damage the plants on the other (higher) side of the wall? |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is a glyphosate product that is supposed to kill any plant it touches. Whether it will "damage" the plants on the other side ot that wall depends on it any of it drifts there. There are better, more environmentally safer, methods of controlling unwanted plant growth. |

Were you invited/permitted to put chemicals on someone else's property? |
Emma, this is a product you really need to be very careful of in most residential settings. It's a bigger problem being moved by watering or rain to areas downhill from where its been applied, not up hill. But its not advised to use it withing two times the distance of the canopy of trees or shrubs, so if you have a neighbor with shrubs for example that are 4' wide, you'd want to stay at least twice that far from them and not apply the product any closer than 8' away (per the label) even if you were putting it down on ground inside your ownership boundary. It's one I don't find appropriate many times for a lot of different reasons, there are less problematic products you can use with less risk for inadvertent damage. To your own things, or to your neighbors :) Your climate should be somewhat similar to my own and it doesn't last a year here after application anyway, it's effectiveness is much shorter period than that with my persistent coastal rains. If you'd have to reapply anyway, you may as well find a less toxic product to give your attention to. |
Thank you morz8 for your ADVICE, which was what I was hoping for, rather than the sarcasm posted by other members. I have used a rootkill weedkiller. Your help is much appreciated. |

Not sarcasm, an honest question. I see nothing sarcastic about the info Kim provided either. A "small area of weeds" should be easy to clear manually, but kudos to you for asking for advice regarding using chemicals if that is the method you prefer. Glad you found what you were looking for. Best of luck and results! |

Great Lakes Restoration
Great Lakes Restoration
The Great Lakes watershed -- containing nearly 95 percent of America's freshwater surface -- is one of the most significant ecosystems in the world. A central Midwestern hub for birds, fish, and other wildlife, the Great Lakes region serves as home to many of Audubon's Important Bird Areas and as habitat more than 400 bird species, including the Great Blue Heron. The Great Lakes are also an incredible resource for the area's nearly 42 million people, providing fresh drinking water, recreation, transportation, and economic benefits. The health of the Great Lakes is critical to everything that depends on them.
Unfortunately, faced with threats from invasive species, toxic and nutrient pollution, and destruction to habitat, these treasures are degrading. Restoration projects are underway, but continued federal, state, and local funding is critical to restore health to the Great Lake. Audubon advocates for increased funding for Great Lakes restoration, leads efforts to fund the Water Resources Development Act, focusing on bird and wildlife habitat restoration, is very involved in efforts to stem the tide of invasive species that threaten the Lakes, and promotes protection of open spaces adjacent to Great Lakes wetlands, particularly in Important Bird Area watersheds.

Gov. Buys 7,000 Assault Weapons for Personal Defense
Government If 'Assault Weapons' Are Bad…Why Does DHS Want to Buy 7,000 of Them for 'Personal Defense'?
Government Officials Can Still Own Assault Weapons Under Feinstein Bill
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet: Obama's gun control policy is Marxist
"[Obama] has just passed a bill that extends to him and his family protection, around the clock and for life, by the Secret Service. He, evidently, feels that he is best qualified to determine his needs, and, of course, he is. As I am best qualified to determine mine. For it is, again, only the Marxists who assert that the government, which is to say the busy, corrupted, and hypocritical fools most elected officials are (have you ever had lunch with one?) should regulate gun ownership based on its assessment of needs.""President Obama seems to understand the Constitution as a 'set of suggestions.' I cannot endorse his performance in office, but he wins my respect for taking those steps he deems necessary to ensure the safety of his family. Why would he want to prohibit me from doing the same?"

Stage IV Papillary and Follicular Thyroid Cancer
The most common sites of metastases are lymph nodes, lung, and bone. Treatment of lymph node metastases alone is often curative. Treatment of distant metastases is usually not curative but may produce significant palliation.
Standard treatment options:
- I131: Metastases that demonstrate uptake of this isotope may be ablated by therapeutic doses of I131.
- External-beam radiation therapy for patients with localized lesions that are unresponsive to I131.[1]
- Resection of limited metastases, especially symptomatic metastases, should be considered when the tumor has no uptake of I131.
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone suppression with thyroxine is also effective in many lesions not sensitive to I131.
Patients unresponsive to I131 should also be considered candidates for clinical trials testing new approaches to this disease.
Treatment options under clinical evaluation:
- Clinical trials evaluating new treatment approaches to this disease should also be considered for these patients. Chemotherapy has been reported to produce occasional complete responses of long duration.[2-4] Oral inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth-factor receptors are under clinical evaluation.[5][Level of evidence: 2Dii]
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage IV papillary thyroid cancer and stage IV follicular thyroid cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.

We have a 35,000 gal concrete pool. We found out the nitrates are high, 58 after draining down a foot below the skimmers twice. The pool store I just brought the water sample to this time said the only way is to completely drain it.
He said there are plugs to take out as soon as we can get to them to make sure it balances the water table. Is this something we can do or should we get someone to come do it? How aggressive do we have to be in getting the bottom plugs out? If water comes up after we take them out do we just leave that water in or try to pump that out as we are filling it up? Has anyone drained it for this or other reasons?
Follow-Up Postings:
Why do you need to drain? High nitrates or phosphates can surely feed algae, but with proper chlorination, algae wont form. There is a super handy chart at trouble free pool dot com. try googling "cya chlorine chart" |
The chlorine binds with the nitrates and becomes inert - we have shocked the pool and the chlorine is still at 0. We can keep it this way but would use a lot more chemicals to maintain it. If we did not hit water when we built, are we probably going to be ok with the water table now? |
It even says on that website "At very high CYA levels, over 80, a partial drain/refill to lower the CYA level is usually required." |
You didn't finish shocking. Something is in the water. Anytime free chlorine combines with something, be it bio-badies or tanning lotions, it becomes inert. Nitrates mean zilch. Killing the algae before it can eat solves any issue there. If its a bio-badie, the time spent draining and refilling will give the bio-badies the opportunity to reproduce. If you have a salt cell, your CYA is perfect at 80. If you are tablet fed and not in the Southern latitudes, then diluting will be needed to reduce the CYA level. With your current level of CYA, bring the FC level to about 40 and hold it there until you can pass the Overnight Chlorine Loss Test. If you can take the calcium, cal-hypo can be used. I prefer using bleach (6%) or chlorinating liquid (12%). Scott |

S'mores Sundaes with Homemade Marshmallow Ice Cream
For my 23rd birthday, my then boyfriend (now husband) bought me an ice cream maker. I can count on one hand the number of times I have used it, but lucky for me, I cannot keep track of how many times HE has used it.
We ended up using it a LOT right away, because my birthday party was an ice cream social theme. Jason made TWELVE flavors of homemade ice cream for the event. We had flavor tastings, ice cream sandwiches AND ice cream floats.
Here is a photo from the party. Apologizes for the messy kitchen behind me. This is when we lived in downtown Los Angeles and had a lot less space.
Generally speaking, he is the chef and I am the baker, but when it comes to ice cream, we hit a grey area. Making ice cream really has nothing to do with baking, so we eventually realized his skills were more suited for the task than mine. That, and he 's obsessed with ice cream and has read through nearly every ice cream cookbook in existence.
Anyway, he is REALLY good at making ice cream and I am REALLY good at dreaming up flavors. He makes it and I eat it, so we are match made in heaven.
One of my FAVORITE flavor profiles is S'mores. It is an unofficial rule in our house that there must be S'mores makings at all times in the cupboards. I try to keep our pantry stocked with graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate bars so that at any moment, I am two steps away from a delicious toaster oven S'more.
Yeah…it's that serious.
So a few weeks ago, when I was dreaming up new ice cream flavors, I got the brilliant idea for a S'mores sundae. Crushed graham crackers and hot fudge would be the perfect topping for… marshmallow ice cream. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN MASS PRODUCED? Who is sleeping on the job at Haagen Dazs and who do I need to talk to there to get a job as an ice cream flavor maker?
I shared my idea with my husband and he was on board to make me the ice cream. I had him take photos during the process, so I could share it with you here.
So without further ado…
Here is what you will need:
1 cup of milk, 2 cups of whipping cream (not heavy whipping cream), 3/4 cups sugar and about 1 cup of mini marshmallows (give or take).
Toast marshmallows until golden brown. We use our toaster oven for this, but if you don't have one, you can do this in the regular oven on broil. (I DO recommend putting foil down, so you don't have to clean up this mess).
Heat up the milk, sugar and 1 cup cream on medium-low and stir until sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat. Stir in marshmallows and let it steep for 30 minutes.
Strain into a bowl that contains the remaining cup of cream. This is why the amount of marshmallows doesn't matter so much, because you take them out in the end, they are just for flavor. Add more if you want a more intense marshmallow flavor and less if you want less.
Add pinch of salt.
Chill overnight or for at least four hours.
Process with ice cream maker, as directed by your machine.
Serve with hot fudge and crushed graham crackers. If you are looking for a hot fudge recipe, this is a favorite of mine.
If you are in the market for an ice cream maker, I highly recommend this model from Cuisinart. We have the older version of this one and though it takes up a lot of space, it is worth not having to waste precious freezer space with the container chilling in your freezer. This model basically has a freezer built into it, so it provides all the cold you need, there is NO pre-chilling of anything.
Here's to a delicious weekend!

Loved this recipe! I do suggest for people making it that the recipe serves about 10 guests, I just did a nacho bar at my son's 2nd birthday for the parents and only doubled it and felt like I didn't have enough. Just thought that would be helpful. Julie, do you have any tricks to keeping it warmed? I tried transferring to a small crock pot and I put it on warm but it ended up scolding the cheese and then I turned off the crock pot and the cheese all got clumpy… somehow it still managed to be a hit at the party!!! :) Thanks for the great recipe!

Now-days, persons asking questions may be using ipads, notebooks, laptops, PCs, phones. or others.
Are these various things called ''platforms'' or ''devices'' are what? If someone says I cannot connect to GW we need to ask "What _____ are you using?" |

I usually say devices. It is very important to give all the information you possibly can because it becomes so difficult and extremely time consuming to try to research a remedy with little to go on. I think often the ones asking for assistance don't realize we may spend a significant amount of our time researching the problem for the best solution. If it saves any of us including the person asking time then give all you can from the beginning. As I told someone, I truly wish the answers just came magically falling out of my mind but unfortunately I don't have that power! And the older I get the less the stuff that really is in my brain makes an appearance! LOL |

Hi Theresa, I enjoyed your blog very much and really liked your images. Just a suggestion: IMHO, the background, while pretty, is distracting and pulls your eye away from the actual pictures on the blog. If it were me, I'd go with a simpler background so that the viewers eye stays on the page. Just a thought! Best wishes, Julie Covington |
- Posted by flowergirl929 5 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 22, 13 at 10:14
Do you mean to sides of the blog? Oh how I love your blog, it's humbling to have you see mine! Thank you for checking it out and commenting. |
Yes, the background (on the sides)is what I was referring to. It's sort of like when you take a picture - the part we call "composition" - not having distracting elements in the background such as feet(shoes) tags, icky foliage, spent blooms, etc. because all of those things pull the viewers eye away from what you REALLY want them to focus on, which is the beauty of the bloom! In my years of judging photography contests, I've found that the element people pay the least attention to in photography is composition. |
The wallpaper on the sides is very pretty but I would agree that it is a bit distracting when reading your blog and viewing the pictures. Most bloggers will keep the wallpaper a solid color on either side of the written stuff and pics. Keeps us, the readers, focused on what your saying. If using a pretty wallpaper like that, I've seen more people put it up as a banner across the top so when reading, and moving the page down, it disappears so your not distracted. Either way, congrats on getting your blog up and much success in your new business adventure. :-). Julia |

What a wonderful blog and I like how you can get to your "sell site" from there. I did notice, though, that on the other site, you ask for people to email you prior to ordering but I can't seem to find the email address. (I may just be having a senior moment, though). If you could direct me, I sure would appreciate it! Again, great blog!! |

Thanks for letting me know about the absence of email! I am terrible when it comes to computers. I am much better with a shovel that's for sure. I added my email address to my about page. Let me know if you have any more trouble finding it. I really appreciate your comments. Theresa |

Lou, I hope the wildfires I'm reading about in New Jersey are no where near your neighborhood. My geographical knowledge of New Jersey is lacking and I know it's a big state, but I hope this is far far from you and yours!
Edited to Add: I also hope it's no where near anyone! I'm sending lots of PPD to all the firefighters having to deal with all these wildfires all over the country!

To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.

Thanks for the responses. Jersey it is.
It's a sin what they have done to IRI. They have ruined that spot. Although it was near high tide when I was there, the wave actually reflects off the banks and bounces back - kinda like a wave in a bowl. Even further north where you could surf, it's all gone.
Spots that beach replenishment has killed within the last five years:
Naval jetties
North shores
Gordons pond
Iri north and south
Thanks for using our tax money to destroy the little break we have!!!

I was upgraded upon arrival to a higher floor (better view) free of charge. The rooms are much more...
There's a lot going on in Yaletown, and these tastefully decorated suites are in the center of it all. Head out to one of the great restaurants in the neighborhood, or stop by the farmer's market and cook up something special in the suite's galley kitchen. Entertainment is always afoot with BC Place, GM Place, Queen Elizabeth Theatre and Vancouver Center for the Performing Arts so close by. Due west are the boutiques that Robson Street shopping district is famous for, and there's always something unique to be found in the trendy shops right in Yaletown.
All suites are tastefully decorated and include a galley kitchen, two TVs, high-quality linens and free Wi-Fi Internet access. Some suites have separate sitting and dining areas and balconies. All suites have operating windows.
Yaletown is a neighborhood of increasing popularity and is also known as Vancouver's little Soho. It's brimming with great restaurants, hip boutiques, and innovative art galleries. Close to sports stadiums, world-class shopping, and the amazing natural beauty British Columbia is known for, Rosedale's Yaletown Robson location is perfect for a stay in Vancouver. Walk to much of the excitement of the city, or jump on the skytrain or seabus to get explore farther. English Bay, Stanley Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge and even Grouse Mountain are all just a quick trip away.
Some suites have ocean and mountain views, and all guests can enjoy the view from the garden terrace. Find the view inspirational? Getting out in nature is a breeze on the seabus and via easy connections on Canada Link's skytrain. A day trip to English Bay, Stanley Park, Grouse Mountain, or Capilano Suspension Bridge couldn't be easier.

KORAPUT: Under a thick security blanket, the second phase of the three-tier panchayat poll involving as many as 15 zilla parishad seats passed off peacefully in Maoist-hit Malkangiri, Rayagada and Koraput districts of southern Odisha on Monday.
In the wake of Maoist call for boycotting the poll, elaborate security arrangements were made in these parts with the deployment of BSF, CRPF, OSAP, IRB and Odisha police security personnel to thwart any possible Naxal attack.
"No violence was reported during the poll process. People fearlessly expressed their franchise. However, we can't be complacent as three more phases of the poll are yet to be conducted. Police is on high alert," said DIG Saumeyendra Priyadarsi.
Election was held for three zilla parishad seats in Malkangiri, five in Rayagada and seven in Koraput on Monday. In Koraput as many as 281 voters of Kotrambo village under Chanaboda panchayat of Dasmantpur block boycotted the election in protest against non-availability of basic services like healthcare facilities, education, safe drinking water and all-weather road in their village, among others. "Voting concluded peacefully across the district, barring Kotrambo where voters did not turn up to vote," said Koraput ADM Pabitra Mandal.
Sources said in Rayagada's Marthaguda village under Gunupur block, over 30 voters could not express their franchise in spite of having voter identity cards, as their names did not figure in the voters list supplied to polling officials.
Officials in Malkangiri said no untoward incident was reported during the poll process and voting was conducted peacefully in the district. Sources said voting for the third phase of the rural poll, scheduled to be held on Wednesday, is very crucial for the district as election will be held in some of the most Maoist dominated areas like Poplur and Kurmanur.
"Elaborate security arrangements have been made for Wednesday's poll. Two helicopters will be pressed into service for the safe movement of officials and security men to the polling booths," said Malkangiri sub-collector Loknath Mandia.
Meanwhile, fresh Maoist posters appeared in Narayanpatna of Koraput district on Monday. Apart from issuing warning to liquor traders of the area through the posters, the Maoists have also demanded the closure of BSF camps in Narayanpatna.

Kimberly Hock
Kim had her gastric bypass surgery in August 2004. Today, she may be 160 pounds lighter, but her makeover actually began not with her diminishing waistline, but the day she decided to have the surgery.
Kim is originally from Pittsburgh. She was the first woman to go to college in her family and says that she wanted the best from life. She had always been overweight and realized at certain points in her life that this was holding her back from many things that she wanted to accomplish. Coming from a family of large individuals, she thought that her weight problem was partly genetic and whatever she tried did not work.
The 42-year-old chief audit executive says that it was her friend's success story with her surgery that made her curious at first. Long before her phone conversation with her friend, she had considered other options such as liposuction and cosmetic surgeries, but realized that was not the answer to the situation. She had also tried cardio training numerous times but her knees hurt and she was in constant pain. "I couldn't even walk around for more than a couple of minutes." Kim recalled. She went to Disney World with some colleagues on a business trip and had to use a scooter to get around the park. "It was a turning point in my life. The embarrassment I felt that day made me realize I had to do something about my weight and I had to do it fast."
Kim described how the added weight was contributing to feelings of depression and self-conscious. "We would go to a restaurant, and I would pick the table in the furthest corner," she said. "I couldn't fit in a booth and didn't want to have to answer the questions associated with this, so I would just ask for the table before anyone could interject."
She finally talked to her friend about the surgery, went online and found Dr. Joseph Afram's Web site. " Dr. Afram had performed more than 2000 gastric bypass surgeries at that time. I read about his expertise and his success rate, and I knew that he was the right surgeon for me."
Today, Kim is more positive and enthusiastic about life. It's very different for her now. "I had a realistic goal to see my 12-year-old son, Eric, grow up to become a man and a hope to take care of my grandchildren." She said. "With the surgery, I will get the chance to experience this. I would have the surgery done again in a heart beat with Dr. Afram!"
Kim had always been independent in the past, but she had limited herself to what she could do. Now she looks great, she's healthy, and she can walk, talk, shop and live life with a sense of confidence that she never had before. She started her new life with a new body, a new job and a new attitude. "Finally, I feel like there is a whole world in front of me," she said.

Camping The heart of an authentic Breaks Interstate Park explorer's experience! Our 138 sites range from a great place to pitch your tent to full RV hook-ups. Most of these sites are wooded but if you prefer, grassy areas are available in C Bottom. Playgrounds, a basketball court, a well-stocked store and a laundry facility are available. And to make fetching and carrying way more fun, golf carts* can be rented by the hour or the day at the campground store. If you wish to bring a group, please contact the park for details on our overflow area. The campground is open each year from April 1 through October 31. Campsites may not be reserved in advance and are available on a first-come, first served basis.
Canoeing Pedal boats, canoes and a Johnboat are available seasonally for rental by the hour or half hour on beautiful Laurel Lake. Visitors may use these boats as a means to explore, or for fishing.

Laurel Lake, a twelve-acre man-made lake, and our two-acre Beaver Pond are stocked with bluegill and bass. The Russell Fork River is stocked with Rainbow Trout by Virginia Game and Inland Fisheries officials.
Geocaching Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game for adventure-seekers of all ages. Using a GPS device, participants hide and seek small containers called caches, or "geocaches" and often post their experiences online. There are currently more than 60 geocaches hidden in and around the Breaks Park area.
Golf http://www.wbcountryclub.com Breaks Park has partnered with beautiful Willowbrook Country Club to offer our overnight lodging guests a great golfing opportunity! Located on State Route 609 only one and a half miles from the Breaks Park entrance, this private course offers a challenging game of golf for any skill level.

Nine holes of golf, cart included:$15 Eighteen holes of golf, cart included:$30 Prices do not include tax. Exclusions may apply. Offer not valid on tournament dates.
Hiking More than 25 miles of hiking trails lace the park, varying from easy to difficult. Most are less than one mile long, but interconnected trails offer the more ambitious hiker a good choice of routes over varying terrain. Maps with descriptions of each trail are available at the Visitor Center. Trail names give clues to the outstanding physical features of each: Cold Spring, Geological, Grassy Creek, Grassy Overlook, Lake, Loop, Overlook, Prospectors' Ridge, River, Towers, and Tower Tunnel. Both the Ridge and Geological trails are self-guided, with booklets available at the Visitor Center that detail points and notes of interest. But if you would prefer, guided hikes are scheduled throughout the summer. Additionally, if you call ahead, our Visitor Center staff will be happy to plan a guided hike to meet your family's or group's schedule.
Horseback Riding While the earliest travelers may have risked all on their boots alone, some had the beloved companionship and sure-footed support of their four-legged friends. The horse was—and still is—a trusted partner and a grand way to explore the park. A private stable inside the park offers trail rides for every level of rider. Hours of operation and pricing are set by this concessionaire and subject to change. Please contact the park for more details.
Museum Your first stop for getting grounded in the park's here and now—and the "then and once was"—the Visitor Center offers information about everything pertaining to Breaks Interstate Park. You'll find park maps and books, trail guides, photographs, wildlife specimens, as well as explanations of the park's unusual geological features and the science behind the local coal industry. Fishing licenses and gate passes are also available here. There are always knowledgeable, friendly faces inside the Visitor Center to offer assistance in any way. The Visitor Center is closed from November 1 until around April 1. Hours of operation vary from season to season.
Outdoor Theater The amphitheater presents special programs all season long, including movie showings on Friday nights in the summer. The amphitheater may be reserved for rental when it is not scheduled for park use.
Pedal Boating Pedal boats, canoes and a Johnboat are available seasonally for rental by the hour or half hour on beautiful Laurel Lake.

The boat dock is open from 10 am - 6 pm on weekends from April 1 to Memorial Day weekend, and from August 15 to October 31.
Rafting For the serious adventurer, whitewater rafting is available on the raging rapids of the Russell Fork River. Each Saturday and Sunday during the first four full weekends in October, water is released from the John Flannagan Dam and Reservoir, creating world class rapids on the Russell Fork through the Breaks Gorge. Different sections of the river provide varying levels of difficulty. Rafters will find Class Two and Three rapids closer to the Flannagan Dam area, and rapids up to Class Six through the Breaks Park area on sections of the river where names like "twenty stitches," "broken nose," and "triple drop," give some sense of the adventure to be had here. The gradient of the Russell Fork ranges from five feet per mile to an unbelievable 180 feet per mile. One violent 75-foot stretch, aptly named "El Horrendo," is considered one of the most difficult in the East.

Sayeth the googlers: "Right now we're just testing Google Video, so only a small amount of programming from a limited number of channels is included in your search results. But we're indexing new content every day and we'll be adding channels in the near future, so you should see more and more results from your searches in the coming months.""
Initially, this tool seems fairly limited. It doesn't connect to video clips (although they claim that's in the cards). It also doesn't seem to have a vast archive. When I put in search strings from quotations from television programs in syndication, I rarely get results. I get results, instead, when I enter search terms which will appear extremely frequently: names of primary characters; names of settings; titles of television shows.
On the other hand, the tool is still in beta. We'll see -- it might become very useful as it adapts. It's a very clever idea, searching the closed-captioning text in order to know the textual content of a video clip.

Facebook not Banned in UAE
Our Guest Blogger, Lee Nunley, is a recent college graduate who has
lived in Cairo and Budapest. He currently resides in Denver and is
working on a book-centered Web 2.0 project. He wanted to share news about the innovations in the Middle East with the readers of InventorSpot.com.
Here's his article:
* * * *
Recent problems accessing the social networking site, Facebook, were not a result of censorship, the UAE's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) announced Thursday.
In recent months rumors have been widely circulated in the Emirates regarding a forthcoming move by the TRA to ban Facebook. Many in the UAE thought that a move to ban the site had been made on Tuesday, when people in the UAE lost their ability to connect to Facebook.com. The problem persisted for several days, though the TRA now claims that the Emirates' telecom provider Etisalat was at fault, and that the problem was due to a connection error. Fears of a ban persisted in spite of the fact that Etisalat users received a '404 Page Not Found' message rather than the official TRA blocked site notification (pictured above).
Rumors of a ban on Facebook surfaced after a ban on Orkut.com, a social-networking site similar to Facebook, was enacted earlier this year. The UAE's TRA regularly blocks sites that it considers immoral. In Orkut's case, being the possible facilitator of dating and finding a sexual partner, amounted to immorality enough to institute a ban. Similarly to other bans, many users have found ways around the UAE ban on Orkut . Still, many of Orkut's former UAE users moved to Facebook after the institution of the Orkut ban, furthering fears of a ban on Facebook in the Emirates.

Fast, friendly, and affordable . . .
. . . make this a GREAT option in the neighborhood! The owner was friendly and clearly wants to see Greenville continue to get better and better.
Rewards Network Customer
I have always been a big Quesadilla fan . . .
. . . Now I have someone I know with the same heart. Forget the Mexican interpretation of this common dish. Have a BBQ, Cajun or create A Dilla! This place is great!
Rewards Network Customer
I will keep my review short and sweet . . .
. . . In a world with too many ordinary places to eat, Quesa-D-Ya's is my new-found slice of Heaven. AND they deliver! I am a self-proclaimed Queso aficionado, and Quesadya Queso rocks. What about the quesadillas, you ask? Simply delicious. The place is locally owned, reasonably priced, and did I mention that they deliver??? I am obsessed with Quesadyas, and order it at least once a week.
Mmmmmmmmmm!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!
Yelp! customer Kristen
I will not go into extreme detail . . .
. . . about how I fell in love with a quesadilla and had a full on love fest with it in this restaurant, in front of people. The visuals get a little scary and I don't want you to view me in a different light.
THIS WAS A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN IN MY MOUTH.......yum!!!!
I cannot stress enough how wonderful their food is. I loved it!! Thanks YELPERS for making me see the light. Me and the BF went in before we headed down to Farmers Market one day, it was at an off hour, so us+the workers were the only ones there. Cool deal for us......free queso as promised bc I heard about them on YELP. And the queso....my my my. Another thing I can't get over is how much you get for the price. Seriously......this is a deal for 8 bucks in quesadilla world. I was so full, luckily we walked around Farmers enough so that my arse didn't feel the full effects!!
Yelp! customer Quida C.
. . . I've been meaning to try this place for eons now. Well, weeks. Same thing if you've got ADD. I called to place my order and spoke with Steve, friendly owner guy. I asked him how many quesadillas (or D-yas, I guess) I would need to feed 2 semi-large overeating men (that'd be me and the BF.) He said one medium would do. I giggled to myself and ordered 2 mediums, thinking "one medium my ass. I can polish off a large pizza solo." He threw in the free queso for being a yelper (I love that idea).
About 20 minutes later, food is delivered. I got the Smokey Mountain (steak, rice, onion, ham, bacon, cheese), the BF got a build your own concoction of chicken, pesto, basil, cheese, and bacon. Sweet mother of god. So unbelievably good, words fail me. Wait, no they don't. The fillings were plentiful, as was the cheese. The tortillas were fresh and able to hold up the enormous pile of tasty goodness stuffed inside. The queso was really thick and creamy, and went very well with the chips. Even the chips rocked! They were warm, and nicely salted (huge plus; I HATE bland tortilla chips), and we got 2 paper bags full of em. The only thing I didn't really like was the salsa, but I'm not holding that against anybody.
I know this review is a bit gushy, but damn! This place impressed me. Very tasty food, friendly employees, and not costing an arm and a leg. Locally owned too, which is another big plus for me. Highly recommended.
Yelp! customer Gary from Ft Worth

Field Report: BW Broadcast DSPX-AM
The KSRM radio group delivers programming on five radio stations serving the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska since 1967. Located 140 road miles south of Anchorage, KSRM sits between Kenai and Soldotna Alaska and covers an audience of around 40,000 people. The flagship station, KSRM 920AM, has broadcast a news/talk format for more than 40 years. It is particularly popular during the morning drive when it pulls in its largest listening figures.
A great sounding radio station will keep listeners coming back. If audio is fatiguing people won't like what they hear. This often is due to the loudness war. You try to be as loud as the competitor, but quality suffers when you push the processor past its limits in the quest for loudness. You could have superior content, but if the audio quality is poor, people will turn off.
In Alaska, we have the disadvantage of being a sparsely populated state. So, KSRM did not want to spend $7,000 on an AM audio processor. As I searched for a lower-cost solution, Doug Tharp with SCMS recommended I try the BW Broadcast DSPX-AM. The price was right, but I wasn't sure about the quality. SCMS provided a 30-day try-before-buy unit. I decided to try it.
I found the DSPX-AM easy to set up. It was clear that BW Broadcast had spent lots of time building the factory presets. In fact, I ended up choosing a rock preset to get the desired high-energy sound. With the built-in sine and square wave generator, setup was fast. I tweaked the sound a little and was impressed with the difference. I then decided to go to the car and listen. With the remote control software I could make changes from the parking lot. It didn't take long for staff to take notice. The GM was pleased with the sound. The DSPX-AM produces a clean, crisp and punchy sound that stands out.
The unit has analog and digital inputs and outputs. All the audio connections are via XLR connectors. The digital inputs accept 32-96kHz inputs. The digital output is selectable for 32, 44.1 or 48kHz. The XLR digital sync input provides for an external clock source.
The unit can be remotely controlled via the front-panel USB connection or the rear-panel connections, which include a DB-9 for RS-232, a DB-9 for external triggers, and the RJ-45 for a LAN or network connection.

The front-panel display has an array of LEDs to show stereo input level, gate level, the four-band AGC, the four-band limiter and the stereo output.
There are four main menus to adjust the processor. They are input, process, output and schedule. In addition, there is a system menu to access the unit's non-processing functions and security.
