The Sun Life Canadian Unretirement™ Index measures how we view retirement and how we feel about our plans to get there. Now in its sixth year, it has been a measure of how retirement – or unretirement in many cases – is changing across this country.
Key findings
- Nearly a quarter of Canadians expect their homes to be primary source of retirement income
- Fewer than 3 in 10 Canadians expect to be retired at 66
- More Canadians expect to need to work at 66 than ever before

Market School: Chart Patterns – Symmetrical Triangle
A Symmetrical Continuation Triangle (Bullish) is considered a bullish signal, indicating that the current uptrend may continue.
A Symmetrical Continuation Triangle (Bullish) shows two converging trendlines, the lower one is ascending, the upper one is descending. The formation occurs because prices are reaching both lower highs and higher lows. The pattern will display two highs touching the upper (descending) trendline and two lows touching the lower (ascending) trendline.

You guys have been great in helping me and once again I need your advice.
I want to add a receptacle about 1 foot away from a receptacle that is not at the end of a circuit run. I pulled out the existing receptacle to find three sets of wires. My builder's electrician appears to have back stabbed two sets of the wires and attached the third set by the top set of screws. Hopefully the pic will show the wires and how they are attached. I know it is bad practice to back stab a wire. I have never seen a back stab and the screw used for two different wires at the same time. Is this accepted practice? If so, I still have a free set of screws to add the new receptacle wiring. Can I safely do that? My gut feeling is that this is not acceptable. Can I splice and wing nut the wires and then add my new receptacle? That was my original plan before I saw all the weird wiring! Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Other than back stabbing the receptacle (which I prefer not to do) it looks ok. Why the question? Are you having issues? |
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have had a lot of issues with how some of the wiring had been done with my builder's electrician. He took many shortcuts and I was wondering if back stabbing was acceptable with also using the screws. Can I safely keep the wiring as is and use the unused screws for my new receptacle? In other words treat the current receptacle as if it is at the end of a run? |

It is unlikely that the existing box is large enough to contain an additional NM cable plus the receptacle and remain code compliant. That needs to be determined before going further. If the box has sufficient capacity, the better installation would have all the conductors spliced together and pigtails from the splice connected to the receptacle. While box fill calculations do not add in the volume of such splices and pigtails, they do add additional bulk to the contents of the box. |
Thanks bus driver, The box is a standard new work single gang plastic box. This is the first outlet in our construction I have seen where the electrician back stabbed the wires. All of the others I have seen so far in our home have had wires attached to the screws. |
That's some pretty sloppy work. There shouldn't be that much copper showing. |
The back stabbing (bad enough by itself) appears down by a real hack. There should not be any exposed bare wire on the back stabs. The strip gauge is on the back of the receptacle, and he obviously ignored it. It also appears to be knife stripped (thus all the tapering uneven insulation ends) instead of an actual wire stripper. Looks like a really low budget job. You can improve reliability by pigtailing instead of using the receptacle as a junction point as you have right now. Wire nuts and pigtails do not count in box fill, even though they do make the box more crowded.. Even the wires terminated under the screws have excess bare conductor exposed. you can see the hot obviously, but even the neutral on the far side is sticking past the back of the receptacle. |
- Posted by bus_driver (My Page) on Wed, Nov 14, 12 at 11:02
Here is a box fill calculator. For this, each black is one conductor, each white is one conductor, and each red, if any, is one conductor. The count is not cables, but conductors. A search may find additional calculators. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Calculator
Thanks everyone! I used the calculator and 18 cubic inches will work. 18 was the minimum. I will splice and pigtail as originally planned. The bare wires concerned me as well. The whole thing just does not look safe. Over time, I am going to check each outlet to see if any more are like this. I have a bad feeling, I will find more. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Wed, Nov 14, 12 at 16:34
Are all the grounds tied together back in the box somewhere? |
UPDATE weedmeister, the grounds were connected with a ground wing nut. I replaced the old outlet with a new one and spliced and pigtailed the connections. I fished the new wire and added the new receptacle. I checked all the other outlets on the circuit and I am glad to say that all were connected correctly to the screws. This is in my dining room and the outlets are hardly ever used. I am glad to have discovered it and with all of your help able to correct it. It is as if the outlet was there first at the end of a run and the electrician or someone during the build lazily tapped into it by backstabbing. Thanks everyone! |

Arcane Brilliance: The constantly evolving, completely stagnant frost tree {WoW}
Mar 27th 2011 1:53PM Ok Christian/Readers here is some food for thought, what if they made the frost tree much larger...the idea I have would require the tree to be about doubled in size. now, im going to use two concepts here, one in Rift and one already in WoW to some degree. This would require a large overhaul of the spec, not so much in talents but in the way the tree is designed.
Deep breath, wall of text inc.
a). Make two separate sections of the frost tree, one side valuable to pvp and one valuable to pve. The way the two trees would work is thus: Talent A is required for talent B which is required for C which splits off into D and E which are required for X and Y and so on. This way to get the valuable talents for lets say pvp you have to go so deep into the PvP side it is no longer worth it to tap into the PvE side, and put the talents that would be valuable for PvP but are meant for PvE so deep enough into the PvE side that they are inaccessible to those going into the PvP side. Im not talking Deep Freeze or anything here, those talents could be perhaps duplicated in both trees, im mainly talking about talents that "increase damage by X" or "Increases critical strike chance of Y by X"
This would allow both sides to be balanced differently.
b). Make talents in this PvP "side" of the spec "Increases damage against PLAYERS by X" or "absorbs X amount of incoming PLAYER damage". Therefore it would make talents in this spec unattractive to the other side intended for PvE because it would be a 0% increase in PvE.
Anyhow tell me your thoughts, I know theres alot of room for improvement but this is my basic idea.

It's 8:00am and you are wide awake from a speed boat ride that took you across the sapphire-colored waters surrounding Central America. When the boat stops, you are staring at an island so untouched by mankind that you wonder if this is a movie set. Your instructor tells you to put on your goggles because there a few thousand fish she would like you to meet. You dive in, expecting to be jarred by the cold, but are greeted instead with bathtub-warm water and underwater creatures you have never seen in your life. Class has just begun.
Next Friday, April 26, marks the last day to apply for the Biomimicry Professional Certification Program. The globally renowned program is a part-time, two-year, master's-level course designed to empower change-agents who are passionate about a world mentored by life's genius. Biomimicry 3.8 is doing what no other design, engineering, business, or sustainability program is offering: delivering a deeply immersive experience while learning from some of the most spectacular biomes across the planet. We are thrilled to share with you more information about the dramatic ecosystems you will visit as part of the Biomimicry Professional Certification Program. ("BProfessional"). It was designed for people like you, designers who are serious about learning and applying biomimicry to new products and services.
Over the two years you will travel from the mountains of North Carolina to African plains of Botswana to the bioluminescent waters of Vancouver, Canada, and three other locations (like Costa Rica). We hope to see your name among the applicants, and, more importantly, to meet you in Montana in the heart of the Rocky Mountains for our kick-off session this September.
To read about the program in full, see our website.

In a review of John Herdt's CD Rip City, published in these pages back in 1995, I praised the main man's guitar playing but identified his singing as "an acquired taste" (which was an example of me being as kind as possible). Fortunately, Sidelong Glance, Herdt's latest, concentrates on his instrumental acumen as opposed to his pipes. Although it was recorded on a four-track, the disc boasts good sound quality and a wide range of styles, from the lively "Believe Me" to the atmospheric "Poudre Canyon." When Herdt opens his yap, as he does on "Serious Jones" and "Country Boy Gone to Town," he tests your patience quite severely, but his picking, plucking and shredding are consistently diverting (John Herdt, 753 South Union Boulevard, Denver, CO 80229). The demo by Boulder's Merry Madness made me think of the Police--and I'm betting that most other people who've heard it are behind me 100 percent. "Dinner With Myself" has a particularly Reggatta de Blanc flavor, and Ian Cramer's Stingy vocals on "Get It Right" and "Ox" don't do a lot to dispel this impression. The drumming of Christopher Wylie, the bass playing of Jeff DeWeese and Cramer's guitar leaps are accomplished; as for the songs, you've been there and done that (Christopher Wylie, 4800 Baseline Road, Suite E104-264, Boulder, CO 80303-4623).
Wacky name-change news: To reflect recent personnel changes, Filmstrip has altered its moniker to (ready for this?) The Filmstrip. The act joins San Francisco's Luxt (not the Luxt) at the 15th Street Tavern on Thursday, July 2.
In a Hit Pick that ran in last week's issue, I cheered the return of Nebula 9 and the reunion of the group's founding members, Jim Stout and Julian Bradley. As it turns out, I got it half right. Nebula 9 is indeed back, but this year's model is a one-man show starring Stout; Bradley is not participating. I regret the error--as well as so many other things that I'd need another twenty columns just to list them all.
Don't worry--I'm not going to try. On Thursday, July 2, Jinx Jones and the Tel Rays hit Herman's Hideaway, and the New Morty Show debuts at the Fox Theatre, with David Booker. On Friday, July 3, Jerry's Kids accept donations at the Boulder Theater, with JAKA, and Gas Huffer tanks up at the Bluebird Theater, with Whatever... and the Gain. On Saturday, July 4, the Wicked Farleys turn nasty at the 15th Street Tavern, with Blue Ontario. On Sunday, July 5, Man or Astro-man? takes a space odyssey at the Bluebird, and the Gluey Brothers inhale deeply at the Fox. And on Wednesday, July 8, Harry Tuft and Mag Hayden stage a picnic concert in the backyard at Swallow Hill. Bring your own condiments.

• A cab driver in Montreal is fighting multiple citations that he violated regulations by displaying, among other knickknacks, Jewish items such as mezuzahs in his vehicle; suspiciously, he began getting ticketed "only days after speaking out in the media in 2006 to complain that the taxi bureau was failing to crack down on unlicensed cabs."

• Which may also shed some light on a tale of Rosh Hashanah in Cairo with "the last Jewish women of a vanished society"—apparently there are only ten Jews left in the city, all female.
• Spain has disqualified Ariel University from participating in an architecture competition because the school is located on "occupied territory" in the West Bank. [Ynet]

Grabbed a shot of one in the Scottsdale DMV parking lot yesterday in full bloom. Tough tree given the location. |
Follow-Up Postings:
That's a purple orchid tree. Hong Kong orchid trees are sterile, so they don't produce those pods like other orchid trees. I've noticed all over central phoenix that they've all been blooming like crazy, even the white orchid trees. Must've been because of our warm winter this year |
- Posted by every1lovesjoey 8 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 28, 14 at 3:55
I have yet to find that orchid tree at the nursery. All I find are the Hong Kong orchid tree. |
Treeland nursery, whitfill, and summer winds has them. The white one is pretty rare though. I was able to grab one of the only 4 available in 24" box size at whitfill last week. if the nursery doesn't have them, ask about them and they can special order them for you. I don't know why they aren't as readily available as the Hong Kong because they are more cold tolerant. |

PES 12 (Size: 1.67 GB)
System Requirements
Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 (abbreviated to PES 2012 and known officially as World Soccer: Winning Eleven 2012 in Asia) is a video game which is the eleventh edition in the Pro Evolution Soccer series developed and published by Konami with production assistance from the Blue Sky Team. Lionel Messi, who has been the cover star for the series since PES 2009, was replaced by PES 2008 cover star Cristiano Ronaldo, while Shinji Kagawa replaces Messi as the cover star for the Japanese version. The US and Latin American cover features Santos player Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Like previous versions of the game, it will be exclusively licensed by UEFA to contain the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup competitions along with a license from CONMEBOL to feature the Copa Santander Libertadores. Referees' governing UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup matches will wear the official UEFA Champions League uniforms, which is a first for the series. On July 28, 2011, Konami confirmed that PES 2012 will be released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows on October 14, 2011 in Europe and October 6, 2011 in Japan. At Gamescom 2011 it was announced that the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2 versions will follow on October 28, 2011 and the Wii on November 4, 2011. The publisher has also confirmed that versions for Nintendo 3DS and iOS formats are also in development, with firm dates to follow. There are two demos, both of which were released for the PlayStation 3, PC although the Xbox 360 only had the second demo due to problems with the first one. The first is based on a preview build of the game and was released on August 24, 2011 for PlayStation 3 and PC, though because of "issues on both sides" according to Jon Murphy, PES Team Leader, it was not released on the Xbox 360. The second demo was released 14 September on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Sharing WidgetTrackers

on December 16, 2008 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
A new poll from the National Federation of Independent Business Research Foundation takes a look at how small businesses are responding to the current credit crisis. Not surprisingly, surveyed business owners are glum, with thirty-four percent agreeing that their business has been "significantly" affected, and, within this group, twenty-six percent agreeing that the downturn threatens their business' survival. Access to credit does not yet seem to be a pressing problem. Only 9 percent of respondent identified access to credit as the principal challenge facing small business. Instead, the largest group of owners (45%) cited lost sales as their primary concern, followed by uncertainty over overall business conditions, which was cited by 23 percent of respondents.

I may order 5 before the sale ends today but am wondering if any of you have used them. They are about 1.5" wide and the ones from Rejuvenation are
1 7/8" wide. Just wondering if they are a good size? Thanks! |

I just received my "small" utility latch from rejuvenation, and it seems small to me, but I haven't installed it yet. From what I've read on past threads, the rejuvenation latch has a much smoother operation than the RH version. |
- Posted by 2LittleFishies (My Page) on Tue, Oct 9, 12 at 10:16
Thanks laurajane-- Maybe the RH is too small then... and it's good to get the info that the rejuvenation may be smoother to use. Thanks! |
It may depend on your style of doors. Mine are Ikea and "frameless" so I had to go with bigger latches for them to work. The only place I could find them affordable and the right size was Crown City Hardware. Overall: 2 1/16" Height x 2 1/4" Width Latch: 1 5/8" WIdth Strike: 5/8" Width

Did you decide? I just read through some old threads (for like the 100th time). I think Katieob used the small Rejuvenation latches, but jbrodie did for sure if you want to see some photos. Katieob did comment that she ordered the RH ones and returned them because she didn't like how they operate. I also ordered some of the Cliffside brass icebox latches. I think their regular latches are good too. |

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them, | 1 The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. |
2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. | 2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. |
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening. | 3 They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day. |
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand. | 4 But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand. |
5 It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem. | 5 The next day the rulers, elders and teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. |
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest. | 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and the other men of the high priest's family. |
7 When they had stood them in the midst, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?" | 7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: "By what power or what name did you do this?" |
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, | 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people! |
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, | 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, |
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole. | 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. |
11 He is 'the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which was made the head of the corner.' | 11 He is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. ' |
12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be saved!" | 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." |
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus. | 13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. |
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. | 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. |
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, | 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. |
16 saying, "What will we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can't deny it. | 16 "What are we going to do with these men?" they asked. "Everybody living in Jerusalem knows they have done an outstanding miracle, and we cannot deny it. |
17 But so that this spreads no further among the people, let's threaten them, that from now on they don't speak to anyone in this name." | 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn these men to speak no longer to anyone in this name." |
18 They called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. | 18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. |
19 But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves, | 19 But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. |
20 for we can't help telling the things which we saw and heard." | 20 For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." |
21 They, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done. | 21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened. |
22 For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was performed. | 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old. |
23 Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. | 23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. |
24 They, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; | 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. "Sovereign Lord," they said, "you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. |
25 who by the mouth of your servant, David, said, 'Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing? | 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: " 'Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? |
26 The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take council together, Against the Lord, and against his Christ.' | 26 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One. ' |
27 For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together | 27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. |
28 to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen. | 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. |
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, | 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. |
30 while you stretch forth your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus." | 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus." |
31 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. | 31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. |
32 The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things common. | 32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. |
33 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all. | 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. |
34 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, | 34 There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales |
35 and laid them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need. | 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. |
36 Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race, | 36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement), |
37 having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet. | 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet. |

I just made Roselin's Raspberry bars to bring to the office tomorrow. A tiny taste told me they'll be a hit. Been saving this in my to try pile for a while; glad I did. Easy and fast.
Don't know the original source, but Roselin's who posted it, so I am attaching her name to it. Here it is again: Roselin's Raspberry Bars Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
Grease a 9 x 13" baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except preserves.
Reserve 1 Į cups of crumb mixture. Press remaining crumb mixture into baking pan.
Bake for 40 - 50 minutes or until lightly browned.
Follow-Up Postings:
Cookingrvc, The source is the American Cancer Society's "VIP For All Seasons Cookbook". I have several of their cookbooks and have been very pleased with every recipe I have tried. They are equally as good with other preserves like Apricot or Peach. And the recipe only calls for the 21/2c flour (no additional 1/2c). Hope you all enjoyed them RL` |

Thanks Roselin, the 1/2 cup was a typo. As predicted, they were gone in a flash, with many folks seeking me out to say how good they were. Sue Here's the corrected Recipe... Compliments of Roselin.

That's in my tea party file already. |
I made these this weekend. Copied from Food Network Cookie Dough Raspberry Bars |
Um....what temperature do you bake them Roselin? It never says. I'm going to guess 350...making them right now. |
That's right, Weed. It is 350░ for 40-50 minutes. RL` |
- Posted by Virginia7074 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 04 at 21:29
Hey - I have that cookbook! I'll have to dig it out for a second look. The bars sound good. |
Virginia, it is a great cookbook. I've made a number of recipes from it and all have been excellent. RL` |
I made Roselin's Raspberry bars for dh to take to work this morning, they were a huge hit! He said they were gone in seconds. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it was so easy. alice |
Glad to hear you had the same experience I've had to this recipe-it is always a hit. The original recipe calls for an 8 or 9" pan but that was too thick so I started using the 9x13" and they are much better-and make so many more~ Thanks for the feedback. RL` |
They were really easy and tasty! The only thing I will do different in the future is add more raspberry jelly. I am a real "goo" person and would like more in these bars :) |
Weed, the recipe calls for raspberry preserves (jam) as opposed to jelly but I've been known to use most of an 18 oz jar!! LOL RL` |
Ooops, I did use preserves, not jelly :) |
- Posted by cookingrvc (My Page) on Thu, Aug 26, 04 at 21:18
This is a recipe that one of the younger techies still talks about. He absolutely loves raspberry anything. I may be too old for him (how did that happen) but he would fix my puter for a bite. Hmmm, how the times have changed. Sue |
Sue, my Techies love it when I bake for them. Have never made these for them but might just have to do that. Glad to hear they are so popular. RL` |
- Posted by Ginger_St_Thomas (My Page) on Fri, Oct 8, 04 at 6:09
Made these to take in to work yesterday & they were inhaled! Thanks, Roselin. |
You are good to your co-workers, Ginger-glad they liked them. RL` |
Finally made these, after months of having them on the "to try" list. They were a big hit! I used an entire 400 gram jar of raspberry jam. I think 10 oz is about 280 grams, so there was PLENTY of filling ! |
Glad you liked them, Barbara; my husband likes them with apricot or peach preserves too. RL` |
- Posted by Ginger_St_Thomas (My Page) on Tue, Dec 7, 04 at 17:57
Apricot! Great idea! |
I'm going to make these this weekend with raspberry jam. Some other time I'll make them with apricot jam and add a little almond flavoring to the dough. I'm surprised there's no vanilla in this recipe but from the rave reviews it sounds like it doesn't need it! |
These are yummy!! We didn't have any raspberry preserves (I thought we did) so I used a jar of blackberry jam. I used the food processor to mix the dough, and I accidently over-processed it so it wasn't crumbly and I wasn't sure how to measure the 1-1/2 cups to set aside. I did my best and ended up placing tiny pieces of the dough over the top to cover the whole thing and found that I eye-balled the measurement quite well. Hubby and I just shared a few pieces and loved them. I like to tinker with recipes for cookies so next time I want to try peach preserves with chopped almonds and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top before baking. Our butter wasn't quite fresh (it's been in the freezer since '03, LOL), but that didn't seem to affect the outcome, at least not noticeably. :-) Jen |
Or, how about orange marmalade with melted dark chocolate drizzled on the top? The dough is delicious, very shortbread like. It's a keeper. |

The great Hallowe'en pumpkin rescue
Gavin Ellis
31st October 2014
Every Hallowe'en the UK throws away enough pumpkin to make 360 million portions of pumpkin pie, soup, or cake, writes Gavin Ellis - a shocking waste in these hungry times. Hence a bold new initiative to rescue all those pumpkins from landfill, and turn them into delicious food we can all enjoy as part of our seasonal festivities. more...Thailand: migrant labour investigator 'not guilty'
The Ecologist
29th October 2014
A charge of 'criminal defamation' against Andy Hall, the Finnwatch migrant labour researcher who revealed the plight of migrant food sector workers in Thailand, was dismissed today. But with another three civil and criminal cases pending, he's back in court tomorrow. more...What if your backyard was a slaughterhouse?
Laura Lee Cascada
3rd November 2014
When three giggling teenage girls in an SUV called 'BACON' at Laura Lee Cascada as she conducted a peaceful slaughterhouse vigil, she realised - those girls don't yet realise that 'bacon' has a mom. And there is only one way to create that missing connection - through love, empathy, understanding and perseverance. more...Ghana's farmers battle 'Monsanto law' to retain seed freedom
Chris Walker & Oliver Tickell
24th October 2014
Ghana's government is desperate to pass a Plant Breeders Bill that would remove farmers' ancient 'seed freedom' to grow, retain, breed and develop crop varieties - while giving corporate breeders a blanket exemption from seed regulations. Now the farmers are fighting back. more...Ocean grabbing: a new wave of 21st century enclosures
Nick Buxton, Carsten Pedersen & Mads Christian Barbesgaard
20th October 2014
Small-scale fishing communities are key to any transition towards an ecologically and socially just food regime. But backed by the World Bank, powerful corporate interests are seizing their fish, seas and shores in the name of 'sustainability'. A revolution of the poor is needed to rebuild food sovereignty - and restore the oceans to the global commons. more...Scotland: time for a National Food Service?
Pete Ritchie & Miriam Ross
15th October 2014
The Scottish diet is famous for being the worst in Europe, write Pete Ritchie and Miriam Ross. Yet the country has rich land and sea resources, and exports large quantities of high quality food. By treating food as a common good instead of leaving the market to provide, Scots can start to transform their food future. more...France's 1,000 cow factory - a second battle of the Somme
Evan Jones
17th October 2014
For all France's rhetoric about supporting the small farmer, the authorities are bending legalities to push through the country's biggest dairy farm, writes Evan Jones. This reveals the 'socialist' government true loyalties: to subsidy-driven 'free trade', and industrial agriculture that pollutes, depopulates, unemploys - and generates vast profits for a powerful elite. more...It shouldn't happen to a factory farm vet
Philip Lymbery / Sustainable Food Trust
1st December 2014
Vets have an essential role to play in safeguarding the health and wellbeing of farm animals at the hardest times in their lives, writes Philip Lymbery. But confronted with the ugly reality of the slaughterhouse, many vets are reduced to becoming passive servants of the industrial farming machine. more...Celebrate the seeds that feed us!

Climate Smart Ag Concerns
30th September 2014
The Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture made its high-profile launch at the New York Climate Summit. But for a huge coalition of civil society organizations, it's a 'greenwash' initiative designed to promote intensive profit-driven industrial agriculture at the expense of small farmers, environment, and the real solutions. more...In a warming world, food security means crop diversity
Sayed Azam-Ali
10th October 2014
The global homogenisation of food carries costs, writes Sayed Azam-Ali - notably the world's the increasing dependence on just a few 'elite crops', creating a precarious food system vulnerable to climate change. We must diversify our diets, and the crops that that feed us. more...UN: only small farmers and agroecology can feed the world
Nafeez Ahmed
23rd September 2014
Governments must shift subsidies and research funding from agro-industrial monoculture to small farmers using 'agroecological' methods, according to the UN's Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. And as Nafeez Ahmed notes, her call coincides with a new agroecology initiative within the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation. more...

For healthy food we need living, organic soils
Hannah Bewsey & Katherine Paul / OCA
9th October 2014
Soils are naturally alive with complex 'food webs' of micro-organisms that sustain plants with moisture and nutrients, making them good to eat. But once the biota have been blitzed with agro-chemicals under industrial farming regimes, it's our health that suffers. One more reason to grow, and eat, organic! more...Coca-Cola is not the solution to hunger in Africa
Miriam Ross
22nd September 2014
Coca-Cola is the latest company to join the agricultural 'scramble for Africa', writes Miriam Ross. Backed by £600 million of British aid under the guise of 'food security' and 'nutrition', a vast give-away of Africa's land is under way that will condemn small farmers to landlessness and poverty. more...Changing to non-GMO soy transformed the health of my pigs
Ib Borup Pederson
18th September 2014
From the day that Danish pig farmer Ib Borup Pederson switched away from GM soy, his animals became healthier and more productive. Birth deformities reduced, sows became more fertile, medicine costs fell, and profits went up. The changes were linked to the reduction in the levels of the herbicide glyphosate in their feed. more...Toxic glyphosate herbicides fly under the EU's regulatory radar
Pete Farrer & Marianne Falck
12th September 2014
The widely used herbicide glyphosate has been judged 'safe', write Pete Farrer & Marianne Falck. But by the time it's used, it's in a 'formulation' with toxic surfactants, which escape EU regulation despite their known dangers. Germany alone has forbidden the use of the most dangerous surfactant - but is keeping its evidence secret. more...Amaranth revival - Mexican farmers rediscover an ancient superfood
Anna Bruce
25th October 2014
Mexico's conquistadors outlawed amaranth - a highly nutritious seed farmed by the indigenous peoples for millennia - due to its use in religious rituals. But it's now being hailed as a 'superfood', writes Anna Bruce, and a growing number of Mexican campesinos are once again cultivating the 'noble plant' among their corn, squash and beans. more...Fukushima radiation damages rice genome
Gregory McGann
18th September 2014
Research on the biological effects of radiation near the Fukushima nuclear disaster site finds a powerful response in rice seedlings, writes Gregory McCann. The discovery will do nothing to boost consumer confidence in resumed rice exports from the Fukushima region. more...Dairy - the case for greener, healthier, lower performing cows
Mark Eisler, Graeme Martin & Michael Lee
8th September 2014
With supermarket milk cheaper than spring water, it's time to rethink the modern dairy industry. It's not just the milk that's become a throwaway product - the high-octane Holstein cows that produce it are also in the knackers yard after just two or three lactations, the living waste of a loss-making, environment-trashing industry. more...Philippines: farmers call to stop 'Golden Rice' trials
Oliver Tickell
8th September 2014
Farmers in the Bicol region of the Philippines have gathered to renew their fight against field trials of Golden Rice and halt moves towards its commercialization. But with last year's 'advanced' Golden Rice trials showing low yields, the prospect of a GR release is fast receding. more...Farm pests' global advance threatens food security
2nd September 2014
Tim Radford
Agricultural pests - viruses, bacteria, fungi, blights, mildews, rusts, beetles, nematodes, flies, mites, spiders and caterpillars - are spreading thanks to trade, travel and global warming, writes Tim Radford. The world faces a dire future of increased crop losses and growing insecurity. more...On trial today - Thailand's food workers' rights
Andy Hall
2nd September 2014
Thanks to Andy Hall's investigations of abuses of migrant workers in Thailand's fish and pineapple industries, a criminal trial begins today in Bangkok - his own. He faces eight years in prison and a $10 million fine for exposing their crimes in a devastating report that has inspired international action against the companies involved. more...Coming to a rooftop near you - the urban growing revolution
Rachel Dring / Sustainable Food Trust
30th September 2014
Could London, New York and other cities be self-sufficient in fruit and vegetables? Yes, writes Rachel Dring, by converting wasted roof space into gardens and greenhouses. Benefits include reducing waste; raising energy efficiency, sustainability and food security; and healthier, more connected citizens. more...Eating your ethics: Halal meat
Alicia Miller
22nd September 2014
Halal ritual slaughter has raised huge controversy in the UK press, writes Alicia Miller. But the far greater issue is farm animals' entire quality of life - as reflected in the Qu'ranic principle that meat must be 'tayyib' - good, wholesome and from well-treated, healthy animals. Is this something we can all agree on? more...Ukraine opens up for Monsanto, land grabs and GMOs
Joyce Nelson
11th September 2014
Hidden from mainstream media exposure, the World Bank and IMF loan has opened up Ukraine to major corporate inroads, writes Joyce Nelson. Loan conditions are forcing the deeply indebted country to open up to GMO crops, and lift the ban on private sector land ownership. US corporations are jubilant at the 'goldmine' that awaits them. more...ECOLOGIST COOKIES

text:
The Colombian congress is debating about approving gay marriage and it seems that it will be approved (I hope so!). I never thought that here something like that would be approved or even debated because we are a religious, mostly conservative country, but things are getting better.
I missed my chance with death, I had the razor going down on my wrists, blinded by emotions, tears streaming down my face and my fucking brain told me to not do it tonight just because today my aunt had her birthday. Typical from me, missing my chances with good things just to make people happy. Anyways I made a tiny cut that will be hard to cover and another 10 that I'll have to explain in 2 weeks if they don't heal fast. I'm fucked up.
Extra information:
This day and last week had been so good (except my suicide night).
Last night I went to a party and it was awesome. I was the first one to arrive so it was awkward until one of my best friends came and then Nico came, I got nervous and felt awkward until I went to another table. Everything was great and then the bar started giving shots, I drank one, then my friends gave me more and I got tipsy and I started talking to many people and started hugging them (Nico was one of them). My best friend and I got the cute stare that is like "You're such a cute couple" and gossip spread.
Things have been really awkward lately.
3 days after Christmas there was this guy at the beach (he was like 30) that started talking to me and apparently he was hitting on me and I was to stupid to not realize it and my mom made him go giving him a death glare.
It's been a while, but I'm in the mood to write a post and first of all merry Christmas to everyone (even if its late).
My parents had a week on a cabin in the beach so they were going to sell it, but no one bought it and my sister came from Argentina and she wanted to come. It was a long trip, I'm with my best girl friend and its been awesome.
Remember the fugly gay guy I had talked about in other posts? Well, I messed things with him. I was talking with my friends about my job when some friend said that I will be a male prostitute and that I would be that kid prostitute, I joked with it saying that he was jealous because at least he buys me when he was walking by, I think he heard me and I said it out loud (Shit!) so he probably did. The rest of the day he kept staring at me and its awkward. Today things got weirder.
So this has been a problem since I decided to not make part of any religion in my old school where I had to stand some hateful comments about it, I fought but then I just realized I shouldn't give a fuck about it because that's one of my reasons I stopped believing in some god that says he's the only one so most of the people will say their gods are fake and that they will go to hell. Every religion class was a fight for standing up for my beliefs, but I wasn't alone, there were some other classmates that think the same way, but I stopped fighting and they lost interest.
Last week and this week have been kinda stressful because I'm failing maths and my parents think I'm lazy and that I don't understand when I do. Anyways I knew las week was going to be horrible, my depression is trying to get back, I made new cuts, hit really hard my leg with a rock and I think I made some damage, it haven't healed completely and my suicide thoughts got back.
Remember my crush? Well, he is straight and he has a crush on my best friend. After knowing it, I felt bad but then every emotion was gone. It's good and bad because I can't feel bad, I can't make me feel bad, but the problem is that I'm not enjoying things with my friends :/.
My friends are so accepting about gays, but they got the bad point of view of gays thanks to some pervy gay guy that's in my class and some friend wants a gay friend
Good update: today I came out to some of my best friends
Its been a long time since I've been here and many things have happened
• Told Nico about my huge crush on him, he replied "Be happy with your life"
• My new school is super cool and I love it
• My aunt is coming to live here in Colombia
• kicked my old school ass with my final grades on Spanish and physicis
• My new best friends are the best thing in the world and one of them calls me "gay friend" and it's because she tells me everything and she don't want anything with me
I'm so lost here that many things happened:
I went to Medellin and met with a few old friends and one of them was with some guy from Florida, he was always trying to impress me and I flirt a little.
Dad got hospitalized until yesterday and when I visited him, he got in quarentine and I had to stay in some neighbor house until someone could get me home and watch for me.
So basically what haven't happened?
On Tuesday some girl from the other class pulled out my writing therapy notebook and passed it to some friend when someone told me: "Whats this Daniel?" and I immediately ran for it because they were on the page were I wrote my big crush for Nico and the one who had it threw it to the bitch that got it out and I went to her and she didn't let me reach it until I grabbed her head and pushed it until it hit the floor. She ran away as I grabbed my things and went to other place when some teacher reached me and we talked.
I'm so mad right now with my government. They always steal most of the money. Example: in the middle of a non existing place they decide to build a road, so everything costs about $10,000,000 Pesos. But things go like this
For the politic who is planing to do it: $4,000,000 pesos. The one who planned/did everything: $3,000,000 pesos. Materials, workers and wachines: $3,000,000 pesos and the fucking road last 2 years plus lots of tolls that costs about $5-7,000 pesos and since the road is in a bad shape, it will last 20 years (supposed by politics)!

Gordon's Good Steak GuideResting The cooked steak needs to rest for at least 5 mins and will retain its heat in a warm place for about 10 mins. Tongs Gordon uses lobster-style tongs for easy turning. Don't turn the steak in the pan until it has had at least a minute of cooking each side. That way it develops a delicious caramelised flavour. Checking for 'doneness' Use your fingers to prod the meat. When rare, it will feel soft; medium-rare should be only lightly bouncy; well done will feel much firmer. The pan Choose a heavy-duty frying pan with a thick base and, ideally, a non-stick coating. Don't overcrowd the pan - cook the steaks one or two at a time, then heat them through in the sauce later. Oils to use Use groundnut oil for cooking steaks as it can withstand high-temperature cooking without burning and spoiling the flavour. Finish with a little butter at the end of cooking, if you like. Seasoning Don't season a steak until just before cooking, as salt draws out moisture from meat. — danpa 10/22/2009 |

"I wouldn't trade places with Albert or William. Anyway, I have to marry a true princess." With that, Prince Gucci goes back to his Game Boy. I head for the high dive, telling Tim to start a conversation (he has a convenient lack of pride).
By the time I get back, he has learned the indiscretions of every royal in Europe—the prince loves to gossip about what he calls "the family." (Buy me a drink someday, and I'll spill it all.) I tell him we're staying at the hotel. "How is it?" he asks halfheartedly. He doesn't care; it is, as they say, not about us.
For the record, then, our room—one of 54, all of which are the same, save for a suite—is nice. And that's not faint praise. Pinks, greens, terra-cotta tiles, a yellow dresser painted with red flourishes—who needs more?It's what you think you're going to get at a high-end Caribbean resort but so often don't. The terrace is small but has enough space for a table and two chairs, and with the doors open we can hear the waves crashing outside (as can the people we call back home). The towels are the biggest I've seen anywhere. I wrap one around my waist, and it's so long I have to walk as if wearing high heels. Which I do for longer than I care to admit.
As at the Hôtel de Paris, the rooms at the Beach Hotel have automatic blinds that hermetically seal out all the light (and the paparazzi?). We sleep for 10 hours, and I wake depressed. I haven't come to Monte Carlo to rest. Then again, maybe this is the nineties version of debauchery.

Built in the early 1900's, the Hermitage sits quite literally in the shadow of the Hôtel de Paris (in fact, we could see it from our beautiful terrace there). It has an air of discretion about it, with none of the flash of its sister across the street. "People who want to show their money go to the Hôtel de Paris," the prince had said. "People who want to enjoy their money stay at the Hermitage."
Now, I've always thought quiet money equals boring money; nothing's worse than those ungrateful souls who inherit a gazillion dollars, then don't have any real fun with it. Then again, the poolside activity at the Beach Club was a bit much. Maybe the Hermitage is what we crave.
The hotel had a makeover a few months ago, which is both easy and hard to believe. Parts are gorgeous. There's a stunning ballroom, and certain exquisite hallways have coffered ceilings, intricate molding, and mosaic floors. The vaguely tropical secondary lobby, called the Jardin d'Hiver, has a stained-glass dome designed by Gustave Eiffel. We turn a corner, and there's a delicate yellow courtyard with a palm tree or two. Then we turn another corner, and the hallway is pure Hilton, circa 1977. The main lobby, Beaumarchais, has a low ceiling and horrendous green, white, and brown floral carpet (and vitrines advertising Gianfranco Ferré, Christian Dior, Valentino). The lapses in taste only intensify the too-rich-to-care vibe.
Meanwhile, we keep passing people in robes, coming from Les Thermes Marins de Monte Carlo, a.k.a. the spa. A massage is a good idea; investigating luxury hotels is work.
Les Thermes consists of five floors of chrome, glass, and mirror. I half expect Catherine Deneuve to show up in a white coat to lead us to her laboratoire de beauté. For my algae wrap, I am made to get naked, slathered with wet fish food, wrapped in Saran Wrap, and left to bake for 20 minutes. "It is for la circulation, le skin, and le slimming," says the attendant when she comes back to hose me down. I have to apologize for the stink when I go for my massage.
Tim and I recover in our room, which is done in a soothing range of blues. There's blue-and-white floral fabric on one wall, a blue carpet with a subtle white floral pattern, blue-and-white-striped curtains. It works, until we focus on the clashing lilac sconces. Yuck. Elegant white wooden headboards repair some of the damage, as do the two small terraces. The gray, blue, and white bathroom is cold, clean, and very masculine. I like the separate shower stall, with its floor-to-ceiling glass door (HH is etched onto it). Tim prefers the tub; in fact, he steeps himself in a Bulgari tea-bag bath.
At Vistamar, the hotel's new restaurant, the waiters can't remember who is having what, even though I've ordered the set menu. Tim's dessert comes out five minutes before mine. I tell him to start without me: I'm not eating it anyway, not once I see a waiter sneeze onto the dessert cart.
Time for bed. I lie down and gaze at the wall across the room. My eyes rest on what I realize is a monstrous dirt spot. Grand hotels are often called grandes dames, and any grande dame will tell you that glamour takes upkeep. "Looking good is the prerogative of every woman," wrote Joan Collins in Health, Youth and Happiness: My Secrets, "if she cares enough to make the effort."
On a dare from Tim, I hurl my turndown cookie at the dirt spot. Bull's-eye!
