Will County Coroner Patrick K. O'Neil
Updated: December 1, 2012 6:03AM
While the Will County executive and state's attorney's races are considered the most contentious, a wide range of candidates is vying for four other county-wide offices.
Both the coroner and recorder of deeds races feature rematches between the candidates from four years ago. Coroner Patrick K. O'Neil wants to extend his run as the longest serving Democrat in countywide office, while Republican candidates Marlene Carlson (circuit clerk) and Mark Batinick (auditor) are facing their first tries for elected positions.
Circuit Clerk
Pamela "Pam" McGuire (Democrat)
A resident of Joliet, McGuire is currently serving her fourth term as circuit clerk and has collected more than $13 million in fines and restitution from people who ignored court orders.
During her current term, McGuire has expanded credit card use at the courthouse payment windows, online filing for civil cases and electronic traffic tickets issued by local police departments.
She's pledged her office will continue updating technology "utilizing court user fees, not tax dollars" for the courts and police to operate more efficiently.

Marlene Carlson (Republican)
The New Lenox resident, computer engineer and small business owner is a political novice, but Carlson believes her technical and managerial background makes her a better candidate.
"The current clerk's complacency with the status quo system in this critical era of technology is unacceptable," Carlson said. "The modern day office is no place for the 'career politician.'"
Carlson would develop a website to handle a majority of court business to reduce visits to the courthouse — including filing orders of protection and paying traffic tickets and court fees. She believes her 17 years working in private computer systems management could reduce the expenses spent on outside consultants.

Recorder of Deeds
Karen A. Stukel (Democrat)
Stukel, of Channahon, is completing her first term as recorder of deeds. She believes cross-training her staff has made the office more efficient and cut expenses by reducing management positions.
Stukel has also been working to educate veterans on the importance of recording their military discharge papers.
Her next goal is implementing a new Land Records system that allows electronic recording to reduce postage costs, protect against fraud and stay environmentally-friendly.
"When (I) took office there was a five-day turnaround for receiving your recorded document back. Documents are now returned in 3 days," she said. "The goal with the new system will be to return documents the same day after recording for any walk-in customers."
Stukel also plans to continue recording the county's historical documents and open an additional eastern satellite office in Beecher.
Website: www.karenastukel.com
Laurie McPhillips (Republican)
McPhillips, of Plainfield, served a term as recorder before being defeated by Stukel four years ago.
"Having been a licensed Realtor, property manager and currently a broker for the past 20 years, I deal with property land records on a daily basis and 'get it,'" she said. "The average resident may not visit the recorder's office, but when you sell your home, it is critical that those records are accurate, complete and indexed properly."
During her previous term McPhillips replaced the computer system and opened a satellite office in Bolingbrook. If elected, she would also open an office in eastern Will County and feels more can be done to restrict your private information from public viewing.

County Auditor
Duffy Blackburn (Democrat)
The Joliet resident has served one term and was named the state's 2011 County Auditor of the Year. Since taking office, Blackburn, a certified public accountant and with a master's degree in business administration, has received awards for transparency and accountability to taxpayers. He has also cut his office's operating costs by 38 percent and prepares Will County's annual financial report in-house.
If re-elected, Blackburn plans to continue auditing county funds and assets and monitoring for fraud and waste of tax dollars.
He will also continue an internship program that gives local accounting students auditing experience while augmenting his paid staff.
Website: www.duffyblackburn.com
Mark Batinick (Republican)
Batinick, a Plainfield resident and small-business owner, holds a degree in business education and is a state-certified accounting teacher.
Besides working in commercial real estate and business consulting, Batinick said has been "a watchdog" with citizens groups to bring transparency, "exposing waste and fraud in both local and state governments."
"I want to be a full-time advocate for the taxpayer," Batinick said.
One of Batinick's biggest concerns is that "Will Colony" is being used by the political machines in Cook County and Springfield.
Before the Revolutionary War, people were taxed without representation and local politicians were merely figureheads who owed their loyalty to the king, Batinick said. "Now I don't have to wonder (what that's like) anymore," he said.
Website: www.electthebat.com
Patrick K. O'Neil (Democrat)
O'Neil, of Lockport, has been coroner since 1992 and estimates he has supervised more than 50,000 death investigations.
O'Neil helped establish guidelines for forensic autopsies and determining the manner of death for the state Coroners and Medical Examiners Association. During his most recent term he assigned two part-time investigators to a cold case squad to identify the 11 unknown skeletons and remains that have been found in the county over the last 40 years.
He also received the 2011 Lifesaving Award from Gift of Hope for promoting organ and tissue donation.
Website: www.patoneil.com
Charles Lyons (Republican)
Lyons is a former deputy coroner who challenged O'Neil four years ago. The licensed funeral director and embalmer lives in Channahon, where he served on the village board, school board and fire department.
He pledges to be "a working coroner" who will go to every death scene he can. He believes one of the most important things the coroner's staff needs is additional training, including training on grief counseling.
Lyons would also like to offer more programs to educate children about the potentially fatal dangers of gangs, drugs, guns and alcohol.

I'm looking for a play group in Omaha. Anyone playing?
Players in Omaha, NE
Posted 29 January 2013 - 05:24 AM
Posted 29 January 2013 - 08:01 AM
You might want to check with The Game Shoppe in Bellevue. They have a very active X-Wing community (as in a weekly league) and were anticipating a lot of interest in the card game. Give them a call.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 08:13 AM
Thanks, but I'm looking for a group /in/ Omaha.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 08:22 AM
Pardon me. Looked close enough on the map.
Posted 19 July 2013 - 09:35 AM
A buddy and I will be at Ground Zero Omaha tonight @ 9pm if anyone is interested in joining us. They're open until 1am so there's plenty of time to play.

I am going to be in Omaha for work on Wednesday 8/7 and Thursday 8/8. I'm available in the evening on Wednesday and probably early afternoon through 5pm on Thursday.
I'm curious if anyone is interested in playing. I've got some free time and it would be great to play with people outside of my regular group!
Posted 06 August 2013 - 11:40 AM
I'll let the guys know at X-Wing tonight in case there's anyone who misses this. I'll direct them to post here.
Sadly, my buddy and I are playing on Thurs, but not until after 5, and I've got family commitments on Wed. Sorry.
Posted 06 August 2013 - 12:39 PM
Thanks for responding...no big deal. In town for a meeting that won't last nearly as long as I planned. I may just try to change to an earlier flight on Thursday.

Yes, my buddy and I still play occasionally. Might be getting a game in this weekend if time permits. I'll follow up w/a location/time here if it works. Most likely playing at Legend Comics/Coffee.
We're definitely interested in getting a league going somewhere if possible.

Posted 26 August 2013 - 01:28 PM
Sorry I didn't get back to you this weekend. We ended up cancelling our game. Hope to see you on Tuesday.
Posted 28 August 2013 - 09:15 AM
Thanks for the game last night chevetin. It was nice to meet you.
Posted 28 August 2013 - 11:24 AM
Nice to meet you as well and thanks. I'm more than happy to play anytime. Let me know what works best for you so you can still do the X-Wing season. I'm ready to play again
Posted 03 September 2013 - 12:58 PM
Not sure if I'll be there tonight. I have a softball game at 8 and playing racquetball before that. May just watch you guys play X-wing tonight but if you want to play the LCG some other night, I'm game .
Posted 04 September 2013 - 10:29 AM
Sorry I wasn't very talkative last night. That was the first time I've played that guy in X-Wing, so I was trying to pay extra attention to what he was doing since I wasn't sure how skilled he was. I didn't mean to totally tune you out though. Then I turned around to look for you and you'd already left (I didn't know you had to take off before 8). I was going to introduce you to Matt, the other guy I play the LCG with. He was at the table behind me in the Bears hat. Good guy despite being a Bears fan. :-)
We've got 2 weeks of X-Wing league left and they're altering the rules to up the competitiveness, so I doubt I'll play any cards on the next two Tuesdays. We usually have a week or two break in between "seasons" tho, so I'll be sure to play then. And Matt is on vacation in two weeks and I know he wants to get in a lot of gaming, so I'll put you two in touch.
Posted 04 September 2013 - 10:51 AM
No worries. I was there to watch someand kill time before I had to go to my softball game. I didn't even take my cards or anything since I wasn't going to be there very long. I had posted in another forum on boardgamegeek and Matt repsonded to it. I'm trying to fix up a time to play. this weekend doesn't work for me as I'm going down to KC for an Iron Maiden concert. I have softball games on Wednesday and Thursday but all other dates work for me. Talk to Matt and see what works for him. I'm cool with whatever. I can also bring in my LoTR game to try Co-Op or something. I'm pretty flexible. I'll probably still go watch you guys play X-Wing in case I decide to join the league when you start the next season up. So yeah. just let me know.
Posted 21 November 2013 - 08:24 AM
Just giving this a bump to see if anyone new is watching.
A few of us are going to get together for some casual games on Tues the 26th. 7:00pm in Bellevue @ The Game Shoppe. Stop by if you're interested.

Nov 4, 2013 5:57 AM by Associated Press
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel's prime minister is defending plans to build hundreds of new housing units in areas Palestinians demand for their future state.
Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks came ahead of a visit later this week by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is mediating Israeli-Palestinian talks. An Israeli official said Netanyahu spoke at a meeting with members of his Likud party on Sunday.
The official quoted the prime minister as saying during the meeting that "the Palestinians knew we would build in the course of the negotiations" and that they seek to create "an artificial crisis."
The official, who attended the meeting, spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because he wasn't allowed to discuss the issue.
Palestinians were angered by Israel marketing the 1,500 housing units it announced last week.

Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as Le Corbusier, was an extremely influential architect, urban planner and interior designer. His body of work spans five decades and three continents, and he continues to be viewed as one of the pioneers of Modernist architecture. He is most famous for his grand and sweeping works, such as his so-called City of Tomorrow, an ambitious and even whimsical city design that saw the city's central district organized into identical cross-shaped skyscrapers divided by vast, meandering gardens. In Le Corbusier's vision, the entire city would be connected by an underground network of roads and trains, and the large, broad tops of the skyscrapers would allow for aircraft to take off and land between them.
However, amid the lasting impressions left by such grand visions, it is often all but forgotten that Le Corbusier was also an extremely accomplished designer of modern furniture. He believed that architecture was the art and science of creating livable environments, from the largest cities to the smallest end-tables. He also felt strongly that all objects within a home were first and foremost to be practical, and that beauty would proceed naturally from functionality. He divided furniture into three classes: type-needs, type-functions and human-limb objects, the last of which he described as follows:
The human-limb object is a docile servant. A good servant is discreet and self-effacing in order to leave his master free. Certainly, works of art are tools, beautiful tools. And long live the good taste manifested by choice, subtlety, proportion, and harmony.
These beliefs led him to create the strikingly geometrical and elegantly understated furniture that have become icons of modern interior design.
You can purchase a stunning replica of Le Corbusiers LC5 sofa online at Manhattan Home Design, or come in and see one for yourself at our Manhattan showroom:
325 West 38th St. Suite 404

We hope to see you there!

I typically don't use a paddle foundation brush because it tends to leave a streaky look. I do not use it for concealer either but I will tell you what I use it for. highlight and blush. I like that it has a tapered tip so I can apply my Mary Lou-minizer from the balm and any blush. I cant really recommend it because it is either you like it or don't.
I really love this product. I apply my concealor and foundation with this brush. It was only a $1 at Target so you can beat that. I done brought three of them already.
It's a buck. Yeah, a buck. Dude, a BUCK!!!!
I don't use it for foundaation partly because I'm still a foundation dumbass at almost 42 and I prefer my fingers.
I used it to put my beloved Wet n Wild Brulee all over my eyelids and browbones (separate review, Imma marry my Brulee, seriously). It packs on the color well and as long as I lay it on the slant (not perpendicular) to my eyelid, not scratchy. It's handled being washed a few times and packs on a decent amount of color without streaking. I haven't lost any bristles or had a loose ferrule, but seriously, a little Superglue handles the looseness issue nicely.
I think as a foundation brush, it's too small and stiff, so I wouldn't use it for that. But as an eyeshadow brush to lay down a lot of foundational eyeshadow at once, it works very well. Useful for old broads like me who have to cover up all the red, purple, veiny yuck on our lids and browbones...and would like to be able to do it in two swipes, not ten!
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
as a foundation i wouldnt use it at all....i cant do my foundation with these kind of brushes....so i tried it for other make up applications and i just cant use it for my face....i just added it to my painting brushes and it works better there lol
More reviews by shelbydoesbeauty
Great brush for the price, applies my foundation evenly and blends well. Just don't get anything but the bristles wet. The glue came apart on mine when I was washing my brush.
This foundation brush performance is good considering it was only $1 at Target. I have had 2 brushes. Only because 1 was misplaced. When I first started using this brush the application was tricky. I would be left with streaks of foundation on my face. But the second brush I got I recently started experimenting using GossMakeupArtist (from Youtube) was demonstrating How To Get Rid Of Pores Instantly. Sort of stippling the brush with the foundation (funny and weird I know) which worked out great for me. I would like to still purchase a flat top stippling brush for multiple uses maybe Sonia K. or Sigma. But I totally recommend this brush
It's such a cheap yet great brush. I use it to apply the foundation and blend it with my fingers. Works great.
I bought a bunch of E.L.F brushes when I saw these at the Dollar Tree a few months ago. I like the packaging on all of these because for the most part, they don't get damaged if I travel with them in the little package they come in. I like the other ones that I got (the angled bronzer and eyeshadow brush) but this one doesn't work very well, it definitely doesn't work with tinted moisturizers, and it was still kinda streaky with foundation.
It gets the job done, I haven't tried any other brushes to compare to, but I find that it doesn't streak and it is a good deal considering the price ($1)

Discover the spirit of Japan working in the Japanese school system. Help us enrich the lives of hundreds of thousands of children every year by sharing your knowledge and insights of English and international culture.
We are actively seeking applications from native-level English speakers currently residing in the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand for teaching positions starting in Japan from March 2015.
Interac teachers enrich the lives of hundreds of thousands of school children every year by delivering interactive and exciting English lessons. Commonly known as ALTs, which stands for assistant language teacher, Interac's teachers, working in the Japanese school system, enrich children's lives by sharing their knowledge of English and communication skills and giving insights into other cultures.
As an Interac ALT your job is two-fold: language instructor and cultural ambassador. These two aspects are inseparable, and you, as a successful Interac ALT, will become an expert in both. You can expect to teach classes on your own, with a Japanese teacher present to help manage the classroom.
Before you begin, we will offer you the chance to complete a comprehensive initial orientation and training program upon arrival in Japan. Regardless of your prior teaching experience, we will equip you with the practical skills you need to be an effective Interac ALT. We also offer an ongoing training program so that you can further develop your skills.
We know that you have many questions about living and working in Japan with us. To help answer your questions we would like to invite you to visit our website at interacnetwork.com. On our website you can find out everything you need to know including details of the requirements, recruiting process, salary, accommodation, and information about life in Japan.
Once you are ready, you can also make an application through our website at interacnetwork.com. We will be holding seminars and interviews in various major cities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom from September through December. The recruiting process outside of these countries, including for Australia and New Zealand, is completed entirely online.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Brian!
Facts about Brian
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Brian's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Very large, affectionate black cat. Gets along with other cats, although sometimes he likes to throw his weight around. Loves to hug and be held.
Other Pets at Hope for Cats, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brian, a North Boston Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in North Boston, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in North Boston.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Boston already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a North Boston breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Boston paves the way for another one to be saved.

How to get a Thai visa in Vientiane
If you find yourself in Laos and are planning on heading to neighbouring Thailand, what you should do will depend on how long you plan to stay in Thailand. You can get 15 days visa-free in Thailand on arrival by filling out a simple form at your port of entry; no trip to the consular section of the Thai embassy in Vientiane is required.
Once in Thailand, however, you will only be able to extend your stay in-country by seven days (meaning a trip to Immigration); then you will have to return to Laos, or another nearby country, to re-enter or get a visa — so plan your time ahead. This lack of spontaneity may dampen the romantic spirit of the more adventurous traveller, but it's a small sacrifice to make.
Head to the consular section of the Thai embassy — at a different location to the main embassy, and commonly called the consulate — where you can get a 30-day transit visa for 800 baht, a 60-day tourist visa for 1,000 baht, a double-entry tourist visa for 2,000 baht, which is good for 60 days per entry, or a 90-day non-immigration visa for 2,000 baht. These are all single-entry visas. They also offer a multiple-entry 90-day non-immigration visa at 5,000 baht. You'll need the appropriate paperwork, so do check their website; tourists will generally be seeking the 30-day or 60-day visa as for non-immigration visas you need a company letter. Both single and double-entry tourist visas can be extended by 30 days at immigration in Thailand.
The application form must be submitted between 08:30 and 12:00 and will be ready to collect on the next working day between 13:00 and 15:00. Download application forms here. The queues at 08:00 are tremendous, but getting there early can save an hour or two; if you don't want to wait outside however, get there a little later. It's possible the queues will have diminished by then but that hasn't been our experience.
The consular section of the embassy is located at 15 Bourichane Road in Ban Ponesinuan. If you're taking a tuk tuk, it's best to ask for the neighboring institution, the Lao Singapore College (LA-o SEENG-ga-PAHW kaw-LEHD), mention 'Thai vi-SAH' and most drivers should know where to take you. Hope to pay 20,000-30,000 kip from downtown near Nam Phu, and around 15,000 kip from the Khua Din Central bus station.
Remember your passport must be valid for at least six months, and to include a photocopy of your passport as well as two passport-sized photos with your application. There are several places around town to get photos taken, including just outside the consular section. A number of photo shops are near the bus station too — six photos cost around 25,000 kip. Your photos will be ready in about five minutes and include a routine Photoshop touch-up, lightening your skin to the hue of a shiny pearl.
If it isn't sweltering hot or pouring rain, the most convenient mode of transport to get your visa is probably a rented bicycle. From central Vientiane, ride down Setthathilath Road and turn left at the end of the Royal Palace onto Mahosot Road. This turns into Nongbone Road at the next corner by Khua Din bus station. Continue down Nongbone, past Dong Palane Road and make a right at the next traffic light by the big red, white and blue bank on the corner. Head over the small stinky canal and make your next left at Lao Singapore College.
You'll know you're in the right place when you find yourself surrounded by Korean restaurants; after submitting your application, try out some tasty Korean food at Seoul. Or if you fancy a pedal around town, go back to Nongbone Road, where signs will direct you to Patuxai and That Luang.

How long does the double entry visa last for? i.e. can you go into thailand for 60 days come back out and go to other countries, then go back in maybe 4/5 months later?
# Ivanaon 08 Nov 2012 at 3:04 pm
Hi Tracey,
A 60-day visa is valid from the date of entry, not from the date it's been issued. It is valid for 60 consecutive days, so if you leave for 4/5 months you'll need to get a new Thai visa before returning.
Happy Travels. -

Just a warning about a group of guys taking advantage of tourists not knowing the ropes right across the street from the Thai consulate in Vientiane. They set up under a couple tents. When walking to the consulate, they greeted me and asked if I was applying for a Thai visa. I said yes and they sat me down. I thought it was the first step in getting the visa. They filled out the visa form for me, photocopied my visa and pasted my 2 passport photos on the visa form. I was then asked if I wanted to have them take care of the visa process for me since they said there was a large queue inside of the consulate and that I may not get in today. They also promised my visa the next day. They wanted 3000 Baht, 3 times the cost of the visa. I refused. He asked for 50000 kip for filling out my form, and wouldn't budge (you can do this inside while waiting)
There was a large queue of people inside, but it only took an hour to complete the process. Visas can be picked up the next day from the consulate.
The last thing that the guys got me on was when I changed USD to Baht through them. I didn't know the exchange rate and they took full advantage of this. They are good at what they do, calling in other guys when needed to throw in convincing lies. Exchange somewhere else.Been traveling for 6 months now, and this is the first time where I have felt downright mad about being ripped off. They got me for 16 USD. But I know, a little extra knowledge goes a long way. I do take some of the blame.
You can see these guys sorting through their wads of cash at the concrete table across from the consulate at about 2pm.

Thank you for issuing this warning. I should have mentioned in the blog that using the services of the guys lingering outside the embassy is only recommended for getting a tuk tuk. Nothing else.
If you are ever in a situation where you are going to give someone your passport or pay for paperwork, like a visa, I'd highly recommend always checking the procedure first on a travel website or with a travel guide, so you know what you're supposed to do and so your most valuable possessions don't end up in the hands of the wrong people.
Happy Trails

Careful with people outside embassy trying to sell you services like photocopy, application etc. Photocopy service onsite upstairs. Pictures you can buy next door at mini mart. Everything in Baht.
Also careful mentioning Singapore Business College to tuk tuk driver. They think singapore embassy. Best to have your phone with map and gps to make sure they go the right way. Tuk tuk driver wont read map…
Queue is long. Bring a book or have your phone charged. Refreshments st reasonable prices next door mini mart.

G'Day .. I went through the visa process yesterday, I got there at 8, and there was no great queue, maybe 25 more stacked up behind me but I was around tenth in line. it was bloody hot! Take a brolly or wear a hat and have some water handy.. After you get through the gate, head to the building on the right where the outside seating is, and head up to the front and get your number from the lady there..
Luckily when I was getting my long term hire for the motorbike in CM, the chap asked me for a copy of my passport, and so I ran off some extra copies.. BUT they Embassy wants to see more, exit stamps and Laos visa label I think, or was it the old Thai label, the ladies at the wicket will tell you and you can dash upstairs and run off the pages, for ten baht. It's good too that when the numbers are called to go to the wicket, it's in small groups so if you have to run upstairs, the lady will hang around and wait for you. Also, if you didn't download the application form, there are plenty there, along with pots of glue at the tables where you can fill out the form.. You'll have plenty of time to nut out the form.
Yes, and a big Boo to those guys outside the Embassy, they tried to tout me and I just ignored them, I did see they had quite a few passports sitting on their card table, brave souls who would leave their passports behind… Without it, you're stuffed, remember that!
Otherwise, I only got asked if I wanted a single or double entry from the lady, and when satisfied with the application, I was given the same number I was handed when I first walked in and walked over to the nice cool main building and took a much needed rest and cool down.. after maybe 20 minutes, my number was called along with some others to proceed to the wicket and part with your 1000 baht, you then get a nice receipt and that's it.. either stay there and cool down some more or buzz off… too easy! I now have my nice new label and am heading back to Udon..
BTW, I saw when I left around 9:30 or so, there wasn't anybody at theoutside seating, whether it was a slow day, it was Monday and I figured a bit of a rush, or getting to off season.. Regardless, if you have nothing to hide it's a painless process.. Plus, I'm going to plug the Douang Pra Seuth hotel, it's virtually across the road from the Embassy, there's a nice coffee shop there to Sinouk cafe, that's across from the hotel. The hotel is a bit old but cheap n nasty for the visa run…. Bugger all else around the area, but .. -

We just did the process today and it was pretty much as you said. I did gather a bit more intel for the others who will be doing this.
If possible avoid going on Mondays and Thursdays as this is when the agencies come. We got there at 815am and just managed to beat quite a few vans full of agency applicants but one or two were already there when arrived. BTW The agencies are in cahoots with those guys outside and they fill the forms etc for those applicants but it seemed to be part of the agency package as I never saw them being paid for form filling by any agency applicants however to the uninformed it makes it look like they are a legitimate part of the process which they certainly are not but they surely are insistent so just tell them to piss off and get your forms and copies of your passport, entry stamp and Laos visa done inside.
We were given queue numbers 97 and 98 and were called to the window around 930am. By 10am we were called to make our payment and the lines were gone but we saw some people with queue numbers of 450 and higher. We were told that they take every application as long as you get a queue number before morning hours end at 1130am but that you should not get there after 11am to be safe. They say 2 pm is a good time for picking up the passports as nearly everyone who got there early is gone by then.BTW for any of you like us who happen to have dual nationality and/or multiple passports – they will only give the visa in the passport that you entered Laos with and the Visa on Arrival section at Wattay Airport would only put the visa in the passport that had the exit stamp for the flight that you arrived on that day (Eg. the Thai exit stamp for our flight BKK to VTE). So consider this if you are trying to get the Thai visa in a different passport than what you are currently traveling on.

This cake was a last minute order for a wedding. We decided on peach, pink and gold for the colors and the bride loved our ruffle cakes so we incorporated that into the design as well. We decided on large floral blooms to add the finishing look to the cake. The cake was covered in a very pale peach colour fondant which probably doesn't really show in the photo. Jus loved all the colors, a soft and romantic cake!

I always love looking at your WONDERFUL holiday ideas. My dear friend Karen (Purplemoon) introduced me to this page long ago. :o)
Just had to share a sweet find. My wife has been helping her Mother sort through 60+ some years living in the same home. They recently found these wonderful, vintage candles in a box that hadn't been open since the 1960's. My wife remembers the candles as a little girl. Many of them say "10 Cents" on the bottom of the candles. I LOVE the turkeys...soooo beautifully painted! Even the corncob is a candle. My mother-in-law gave us these treasures as she knows we like to decorate for the holidays...love decorating with family treasures. :o) Had to share! Bear Hugs! Kirk |

Oh my...I remember candles like that! I agree, they are so sweet and in great condition. How nice of your DMIL to give them to you. Now your children can enjoy and remember them too with fond memories. Thanks for a nice 'trip down memory lane' !! lol jane |
Kirk, so glad you shared these candles with us. All of them will be so fun to decorate for the holidays with. Sounds like there could be more fun things coming your way. Sixty + years gives one alot of time to save.LOL We still have so many of my parents things we need to go through. They had only lived in the same home 40 + years. Hopefully we will all get together this summer. I'm having a hard time waiting but will be fun when it happens. Punk |
I remember candles like that too, Kirk. I had the pilgrims to go with your Indians. So many wonderful memories there. TFS Nana |
Thanks for showing us, Kirk. They are in great shape. I had some of the Christmas ones in the 1950s. I don't remember seeing the Thanksgiving ones tho'. |

What cute candles, and in such great condition. Your MIL obviously thought they were special to have packed them away so well all these years. How nice that your family will now get to decorate with them and make more memories. Luvs |

They look brand new! Obviously your MIL takes care of her things well. I know Carol is going to find many treasures as she helps clear out their home. I'm glad you posted these finds here. You've been finding your own treasures meanwhile at thrift shops! I really would love living in your "little Mayberry town", it always sounds so delightful. |

Tanked STRIKE
TANKED My Lower Belly Fat!
I've always had trouble getting rid of that last bit of fat on the bottom of my stomach and TANKED did it. Over the moon!
Tanked STRIKE
Great Product
I'm fairly lean anyway, but thought I'd give TANKED a go after taking a break from training. I used it for 3 weeks, taking 4 caps split throughout the day alongside a clean diet and workouts 3 times a week. Ive got to say the energy preworkout from this is fantastic, and I've now got my 6 pack back so I'm very happy.
Tanked STRIKE
Great For Cutting
Used it before my last comp and helped me get in great condition.
Tanked STRIKE
Worked Really Fast And Felt Great
Normally these kind of things make me feel ill when I take them, but I felt fantastic taking TANKED. No shakes or problems sleeping (so long as you take it far enough away from bed!!! dont take it within 6hrs of going to sleep, trust me!!!). I lost 1 stone of pure body fat, I kept my figure, and muscle, and the product feels really good quality (you can just tell they've put a lot of thought and effort into it). Well recommended.

What a flavour and what a price, all in all I'm impressed

About thirty years ago, the Al Meyer, King Heile, Judy Vincent and their spouses visited a small town, near Cedar Key, just north of us, to try, to get some ideas for a fundraiser. They were having a Mullet Fish Fry. Thus was born the Hudson Seafest.
Most people pass right on through Hudson because from its main street, US 19, it looks unremarkable in comparison to its neighbors, Port Richey, New Port Richey, Holiday, etc. Yet, once you turn left or right off US 19, you find yourself in a different world from the seemingly endless strip of suburban commercial enterprise you were driving through. West is the waterfront village, and east are the nicely landscaped master-planned communities, such as Beacon Woods. Hudson is a jewel in the rough and recently featured as, nationally, one of the top 3 places in the United States for a vacation home.

Windham and Storrs microgrid power projects could get additional funding
Press Release
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Oct. 30 that nine towns that are part of a pilot microgrid program, including Windham and Storrs, are eligible for additional funding.
The program was launched following recent storms to develop innovative ways to keep critical buildings (police stations, emergency operation centers, shelters, etc.) and commercial centers powered during electric grid outages.
A pilot microgrid program, administered by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, was created under Public Act 12-148 to increase the safety and quality of life for Connecticut residents during electric grid outage situations.
Microgrids provide electricity to critical facilities and town centers on a 24/7, daily basis. They will also include a system of "trips" and "transfers" to isolate the microgrid and provide power within its network even when there is a large-scale outage.
The first round of the program awarded $18 million in grants to microgrid projects in Bridgeport, Fairfield, Groton, Hartford, Middletown, Storrs/Mansfield, Windham and Woodbridge as part of the Governor's Storm Legislation.
Those projects are expected to become operational over the course of the next 18 months, with the first projects slated to come online in early 2014.
The $15 million for the new round of microgrid projects was authorized as part of the FY14-FY15 Biennial Budget.
"We are intently focused on improving the resiliency of the power grid and its ability to withstand the effects of major storms and other disasters," said Gov. Malloy.
"Our first-in-the-nation microgrid program is an essential tool to help minimize hardships to our residents and businesses when severe storms occur. We all know that it is not a question of if, but when the next super storm will strike, and it is essential we do everything we can to be prepared," Gov. Malloy said.
Commenting on the additional funding, DEEP Commissioner Daniel C. Esty said, "It is essential to public safety that power be maintained to critical facilities and town centers even when the electric grid is down… Connecticut and the northeast continue to experience more severe and more frequent storms, so it is vital that the state aggressively pursues the development of microgrids statewide so that we are in a better position to provide critical services to the state's residents and businesses."
The funding schedule was developed in consultation with participants from the first round of the program, as well as other stakeholders, to better accommodate the amount of time needed by Connecticut municipalities to craft a submission for the second round.
The schedule is as follows:
Microgrid Round Two Program Schedule
Notice of Round Two Microgrids Program Schedule and Outline | October 30, 2013 |
Comments Due on Round Two Microgrids Program Schedule | December 3, 2013 |
Program Information Release (FAQ) | December 2013 |

I remember vividly taking in all the street style fashion last year when Arise Magazine Fashion Week made its highly anticipated debut in Lagos. There was an unspoken truth of "Playing it safe" on the red carpet, in the lobby and even backstage because God forbid you were taged as "Trying Too Hard". This year however, I was confronted with a surprising and simultaneously refreshing variety of style from guests, fashion lovers, designers and backstage workers.
Not only were people pushing the envelop with fashion, they were brave enough to put their personal stamp on the latest trends by breaking fashion rules and styling themselves in what they felt most comfortable in. From ambitious colour blocking, minimalism at its most extreme to print mania this year's street style will definetely give you an opinion of your own. While cutting edge street style is an acquired taste to most of us, you cannot deny the refreshing sense you get from rule breakers in fashion. Feast your eyes!

my thought, get a large duffel bag and shove a kid in it. i mean, at security, once a kid pops out of the bag, do you really think they are going to check any further?
My family is going on our first wdw trip, what would be the best thing to take to carry our stuff in (camera, wallet, tickets, etc) that would not take a long time to get through security and stuff??
my thought, get a large duffel bag and shove a kid in it. i mean, at security, once a kid pops out of the bag, do you really think they are going to check any further?
The security bag check goes quickest if your bag isn't too deep and if it doesn't have a ton of pockets. You can help speed up the process by having your bag ready with all it's compartments unzipped.

To be completely honest, I don't think the inspectors do the most thorough job going through bags. If it takes 5 seconds, that's a lot of time. And I've also found that if you have a female item *ahem* in your bag and get a male inspector, they usually spot it and you're on your way..no questions asked. The inspection is done. hehe.
When we go to the parks, I usually have my wallet, sunglasses, my digital camera, a little bottle of sunscreen, and of course my pass in my purse. I've never had a problem.
If you have a deeper bag like a backpack, take out any other zippered cases from it like camera cases and have someone in your party hold it that doesn't have a bag. It will be quicker!
I saw those online @ ebay but no where else and I decided instead of paying like 5 or more dollars for each one to make my very own. What I did was buy ID holders and Disney stickers,rub ons, and sticker letters. My main character is mickey, DF is pluto, DM is donald, Dsister (6) minnie, Dsister (19) Belle. I will post pics so you guys can see.Originally Posted by disneydame2004
I have to agree with what has already been said. A backpack that isn't too full and ready to be inspected goes pretty fast. If you don't have a lot of smaller "packages" inside that need to be opened - like a multi-pocket, large camera bag inside the backpack- that helps because you don't have to open that up too. Have a great time!

hmm i think i like that female item thing... might have ta try it... but honestly since i normally have 1 or 2 bags, but mostly stuff for my daughter it goes by farely quick...Originally Posted by PinkTink918
April 23rd, oh yeah it's gonna be ON!
we've always taken a backpack in the parks and it takes like 2 seconds if you have all the compartments unzipped
and we've only ever put our hoodies sweatshirts and all of that in them so maybe that is why it was quick
Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. - Walt Disney
I usually either take just a camera bag or my backpack. If i'm doing the autograph thing, I bring my backpack with a camera in it, some snacks, a pen or two (for autographs) and maybe a poncho if there's a chance of rain.
Hope this helps some

Personally I think if it cant fit in your pockets then its not worth the trouble to bring in. If you have a lot of stuff where cargo pants. I dontthink the line that the bag checks are really worth it.

The X Factor hit by Bieber fever
By Rachel Hawkes
As we're entering the final week, we are keeping an even keener eye on all things X Factor and social media.
The semi final results show was hit by Bieber fever yesterday as Canadian superstar performed. Whether he sang live or mimed is still the subject of tweetbate, but regardless of that he caused a bit of a social media stir. As was to be expected.

The X Factor: Social media and the live shows infographic – Week 8
By Rachel Hawkes
So, who's going to win? Social media is pointing to a Little Mix victory. Although there may not be huge differences in the actual numbers of fans that each of the four remaining contestants have across both Facebook and Twitter, what separates them is how they are growing week by week. The rate of growth of each contestants social assets is reflected by their performance, what goes on during the week and so on. But viewing figures will obviously have an impact as well. If we look at the average number of fans that each contestant gained throughout the eight weeks, this follows a similar pattern to that of the viewing figures.

By Rachel Hawkes
It was 'Dance Classics' week on The X Factor, and if you were lead to believe that is was going to be a two-step extravaganza as portrayed by The Xtra Factor, you were wrong. With even more twists and turns with series 8 of The X Factor that made Twitter weep, the social buzz has never been so entertaining.

During the day, you're a minivan-driving, soccer game-refereeing, steak pre-cutting, hair-detangling, Wiggles-listening, Wubzy-watching, spit-up-wearing, school lunch-preparing, diaper genie-cursing, mac-and-cheese-making shell of your former self. After the kids go to bed, though, when it's time to relax on the couch with a box of Mallomars, and watch some 30 Rock on DVR…who are you, exactly? Sometimes it's hard to remember. Herewith, a brief attempt to parse it out, based on your chosen mode of self-medication.
Can of inexpensive, retro-y beer (such as PBR, Schaefer, Bud, etc.)
How to make it: Hit up any 7-11 outside of the wealthy enclaves of the Northeast, and hand over four bucks for six col'beers. Or go to any bar on the Lower East Side of Manhattan where facial hair and APC jeans are in abundance.
What it says about you (unironic version): I can pound this s@!t fer days, son!
What it says about you (ironic version): Yes, actually, I am the bassist in LCD Soundsystem.
Crunk Factor: Low and slow.
Gin and Tonic
How to make it: 1 part gin, 2 parts tonic water (if you feel like splurging, this stuff — which you can find at Whole Foods — is real good). Garnish with a wedge of lime (no lemon!). Serve in tall glass, over plenty of ice.
What it says about you: I am civilized. Also somewhat risk averse, politically moderate, and did I tell you I went to college in New Haven?
Crunk factor: Moderate to high.
The Vodka Soda
How to make it: 2 oz vodka, topped with soda water. Garnish with wedge of lime. Serve in tall glass over ice.
What it says about you: Whoa, check this out: I think I've found a way to get drunk without really having to taste the alcohol.
Crunk factor: Sneaky high. (more…)

It was a good experience, Polk said of his time in Afghanistan. The best thing you never want to do again.
Since his return to Minnesota from Afghanistan in the summer of 2012, Polk, who is 28 and a senior, is back at Winona State University (WSU) and currently the president of the Veterans Club. He also works as a representative at the Winona State Veterans Affairs Office on campus in Maxwell Hall.
I am a big supporter of GI benefits, Polk said. I want to see veterans use their benefits and go to college.
U.S. News and World Report recently ranked Winona State University first among Minnesota public universities on its inaugural list of Best Colleges for Veterans, and also 20th among Regional Universities in the Midwest.
Im really proud of that ranking, Polk said. It makes me feel good because Im part of it. Im glad people notice that we try to help other vets.
According to the report, the 2014 list ranked 234 schools over 10 separate ranking categories. Each of the 234 institutions had to be a member of the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC) Consortium, certified for the GI BIll, and participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. From there, the rank of each school in its respective category was based on its overall numerical rank in the Best Colleges list.
While the high ranking on the Best Colleges for Veterans is nice recognition, it only acknowledges that WSU offers certain federal benefits to its student veterans and current service members, and fails to take into account the daily support offered and given to veterans and active service members on campus. It's that support group of teachers, administrators, and fellow student veterans on campus that Polk believes sets WSU apart from other schools for veterans.
I think WSU faculty really take the time to help each vet individually, he said. Theyre always supporting the veterans and making sure everyone is taken care of, and I think thats one of the biggest assets.
Polk, who is an accounting major, said that because he works in the VA Office, he is able to see the interactions between administrators and student veterans first-hand. It is not uncommon to see professors working around student veterans schedules to accommodate them.
Regardless of major. I work in the VA office, so I see all these administrators being understanding towards vets and military in general, Polk said. I remember one time when I had a drill weekend four days before finals and my teachers rearranged my finals times so I could have more study time beforehand; they didnt have to do that.
In addition to the support from staff, veterans at WSU will soon be receiving their own veterans-only lounge in Wabasha Hall on campus where they can go to study or relax. Were currently developing it and it should be operational by fall of 2014, Polk explained. We have a pass code on it so only veterans can get into it. Theres a lounge area and an area where people can study; its pretty nice.

The Veterans Club at WSU is small, between five and 10 people, Polk said. Were trying to grow, but a lot of vets are non-traditional college students, so this can create a lot of barriers that other clubs might not have to face.
Regardless of the number of members, Polk and the Veterans Club members work to make their presence known not only to their peers, but to veterans outside of the university who live in the Winona area. Recently, the club hosted a dinner at Signatures and invited 20 veterans and their significant others. They spent the night eating and talking, sharing their experiences.
We just try to do things that are supportive of vets, Polk said of the Veterans Club. A lot of the people we serve are Minnesota Guard members. We have a lot of soldiers who came back to college after deployment, and we make sure that if anyone has issues we refer them to veteran health services, like counseling, in Winona or even outside whatever they need to get in contact with the right people.
Early registration for veterans
Polk is set to graduate this coming May with the rest of his senior class. In April, while most students will be studying for finals and working on term papers, maybe even getting in a last party or two, Polk will be focusing on school and monthly drill weekends, in addition to helping push for a piece of legislation that would allow veterans early registration at all institutions within the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. He will be busy, but as Polk sees it, its worth his time to help his fellow student veterans to get the benefits that they deserve and ultimately should use.
I like seeing veterans taken care of, he said. I really like that.

The Mystery of Music
Music & Performance
Explaining the transcendental
We feel music has an inexplicable even transcendental quality. Yet from Pythagorean accounts of harmony to contemporary musical theory we have found ways to make sense of it. Can we go further and explain it completely? Or is the notion that we can crack the code a scientific and philosophical fantasy?

Is paying tax a moral duty?
The Government and the left appear to agree that we have a moral duty to pay tax. Yet hip companies from Google to Starbucks have other ideas. Is paying tax not a moral issue after all? Might avoidance even be a catalyst for growth? Or is paying tax the only way for the rich to pass through the eye of the needle?

Metaphysics & Language
The limits of understanding
From trees to houses, atoms to stars, we assume our senses and instruments reveal the truth about the world. But could our picture of reality be radically incomplete? Is this hocus pocus best reserved for fools and philosophers, or does it open a world of infinite potential?

Is culture beyond genetics?
Everything from criminality to love of gossip is in our genes according to some biologists. Yet behaviour varies dramatically between cultures. Does this cultural variation mean that the theory of evolution is flawed? Can it be rescued with a new theory or is culture beyond genetics?

Is free will an illusion?
The cry of democrats and revolutionaries, we value freedom above almost anything. But neuroscientists claim they can predict decisions seven seconds before we act. Might free will be an illusion? Do we need to reimagine what it means to be human, or does freedom win over bad science?

Despite the recent bad press, most of us still think doctor knows best.

Is morality instinctual?
We think morality is unique to being human. Yet the animal kingdom has many examples of behaviour that appear moral, but which we describe as instinct. Might our own morality be instinct also? Does this extricate morality from religion, or condemn it to irrelevance?

2010Two weeks, three states, two national parks, seven Desert Bighorn Sheep, 1,724 miles, getting stuck sixty miles from the nearest paved road, one dropped camera, and countless friends. That was our recent trip to Grand Canyon and Zion National Parks.
As I'm getting ready to hit the road again in a couple of days, this Trip Report will be brief, but entertaining. The trip began simple enough with our first stop being the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park where we spent 4 nights. I had hoped to work on a few images for an upcoming project, but Mother Nature was less than cooperative in that we had clear skies. I like some drama in the atmosphere when photographing the big scenes at the canyon. Even though I didn't get what I was looking for, I always enjoy my time at the canyon.
The next stop is Toroweap on the North Rim of the park. For those of you that may not be familiar with Toroweap, it is the most remote location in Grand Canyon National Park which you can still drive to. Located at the end of a 61-mile dirt road, it is a 6-hour, 260 mile drive from the South Rim. While it is only roughly 55 miles (as the raven flies) from Grand Canyon Village, it couldn't be a more different experience from visiting the South Rim. As I mentioned before, it's at the end of a 61-mile dirt road with the last 5 miles taking over 30 minutes to travel. As for services and amenities; there is a first-come, first served campground once you get there, but that's it. No services of any kind other than a very friendly volunteer ranger in the campground. What really makes Toroweap impressive is the view complete with a 3,000 foot drop to the Colorado River below.
Remember the friendly volunteer ranger? He was kind enough to pull my truck out of tough spot when I idiotically wedged it against a rock rendering it immobilized. That's right…I got stuck…in the Toroweap campground. I'm glad he was there to help because the alternative of a $1,000 tow didn't sound too appealing.
After a couple nights camping at Toroweap, which by the way was one of the best experiences of my life, we headed to Zion National Park in southwestern Utah.
OMG! Did I really I just say "OMG"? Yes I did! If you are not part of the "texting" generation, OMG translates to "Oh My God" and it really is an appropriate expression for the feeling experienced as you emerge from the mile long tunnel in Zion to get your first view of Zion Canyon. There is so much to write about including photographing the Watchman, Fall Color, Desert Bighorn Sheep, Towers of Virgin, Zion Plateau including Checkerboard Mesa, and the Virgin River Narrows, but I think I'll stick with sharing my photos. Zion was an overwhelming experience and produced a very similar reaction in me to my first visit to Grand Canyon.
The best part of the trip was meeting so many wonderful people and making new friends. Sally and I especially enjoyed hiking the Narrows with Deb, Genevieve, and the ladies from Fallon. I hope you all got some great photos!
See all the photos from this trip in the Latest Releases gallery.
2010A place far from the modern, civilized, world. A place of extremes with brutally frigid winters and scorching hot summers. A place that was once inhabited by the Ancestral Puebloans and was perhaps the trade and spiritual center of their world. A place called Chaco.
Located in Chaco Canyon in far northwestern New Mexico, Chaco Culture National Historical Park protects some of the largest Ancestral Puebloan ruins in the American Southwest. Among these ruins is Pueblo Bonito, the largest Great House in the park which is believed to have been inhabited between AD 828 and 1126. Covering nearly two acres of land it was once four stories tall and may have contained as many as 800 rooms.
This past March my wife, Sally, and I made a visit to Chaco Canyon to photograph the ruins with our friends Brian and Liz of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Brian is a bit a Chaco nut and I was thankful for the insight he provided.
Photographically speaking, Pueblo Bonito is an extremely exciting subject to work with. I suggest that photographers come prepared with ultra-wide angle and medium length zooms to capture the interior of the pueblo. The photo of the T-shaped door above and this photo looking up through the pueblo on were both created using a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L lens at the 16mm setting on a 5D Mark II camera.
The exterior of the pueblo can be captured using a a full-array of focal lengths from ultra-wide to telephoto. This photo of Pueblo Bonito was captured with my Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS lens set at 150mm. I chose this lens to isolate the back wall of the pueblo against the canyon wall, both of which were bathed in a warm, late-evening light.

2010You never know what kind of weather you are going to encounter when visiting Grand Canyon National Park. This past March I made a trip to the canyon to deliver a print that is now displayed in the Park Headquarters, but I also planned to do a little photography.
On my second day there the canyon was completely socked-in so I took a stroll through the forest. A storm system had parked itself over the canyon providing a fresh dusting of snow. What motivated me to stop and create this image was the sense of peace and tranquility of the experience. There were no other visitors exploring the "Greenway" Trail that morning, the wind was calm, and the falling snow limited visibility giving a sense of an endless forest.
2009Sally and I made a trip to Texas over the Thanksgiving holiday to visit family in the San Antonio area. While we were there, we had an opportunity to spend some time exploring the Guadalupe River near the town of Comfort. I love the Guadalupe and have canoed it many times from Comfort to Guadalupe River State Park, and my great grandparents had a home on it near New Braunfels at one time.One of my favorite subjects to photograph are the cypress trees that line the banks of the river such as this example at James Kiehl River Bend Park.
James Kiehl River Bend Park is a new park dedicated in memory of United States Army Specialist James H. Kiehl from Comfort, Texas. Spc. Kiehl was killed in action on March 23rd, 2003 after his convoy was ambushed in Iraq. He was assigned to the 507th Maintenance Company, Fort Bliss, Texas.

"This is a great recipe! The measurements worked out and it was a nice change of pace. Personally, I would not make it for guests. Thanks for posting!"
"This is one of the best curry recipes I've come by. Somehow, despite following directions correctly, I have had bad luck in the past. I found this one to be a bit bitter, but maybe it was due to winter tomatoes? Thanks for posting!"
"I love this interpretation of Kimchi! It's light and refreshing. I find the cups to weight ratio to be off for the cabbage amount. For me 16 cups was about 5 pounds (or my grocery receipt is wrong!). I suggest adding carrots or daikon radish to squeeze in some more veggies- I'm going to try raddichio or red cabbage too next time."
"Great recipe, again, Kittencal! I used Sunburst tomatoes and V8 and it came out great. I'd recommend pureeing the onion and garlic to take some of the chunkiness out of the soup, but that's just a preference. I'm going to try basil in place of oregano next time so it has a little less of a "marinara" taste the other reviewers noted."
"This is a great recipe. I received many complements from people who liked it a lot better than myself! I prefer other Christmas cookie recipes... especially if I'm out to impress. With one batch I put the walnuts in the batter- I don't recommend this as it made it harder for the dough to hold together. Also, this recipe made about half as many coo..."
"I didn't find the balance and mix of flavors in this recipe to be particularly good. The recipe works well, but the parsley and paprika just are not good together like this to me. Also, the chips have plenty of salt on their own as other reviewers have noted. My boyfriend likes this recipe a lot more than I do... I'll try to alter it to both of ou..."
"I found the cinnamon to be overwhelming in this recipe. I suggest adding a bit of nutmeg and clove and reducing the cinnamon to give it a bit more complexity. I couldn't taste the apple or pumpkin at all really because of the cinnamon. My friends absolutely loved it and took a loaf home. Thanks for posting!"
"This recipe yields the best consistency of this type of cookie that I have tried yet. I let them dry overnight, thew in some ground flax seed, and used the Smart Balance Omega butter blend. Thanks for posting!"
"I am a BIG fan of Weber recipes. I adapted this one by broiling it in my oven for 7 minutes on each side. The seasoning was only ok and the sauce was a waste of good wine! It was extremely thin- even after a TBSP of cornstarch. Seemed to only serve to wash off the meat seasoning as it just tasted like the wine- nothing added by other ingredients. ..."

The Costs and Benefits of Horizontal Machining
The shift from vertical to horizontal machining was even more expensive than this shop anticipated. It was also more valuable. Most of the shop's machining centers are HMCs now—here's why.
High Speed Leads to Lights-Out
This mold maker has become more competitive by establishing a high speed machining process that is predictable enough to confidently run lights-out.
Maximizing Power for High Speed Hog-outs
A reader asks a question related to the rated power of a machine tool spindle.
Improving Surface Finish During High Speed Machining
Many factors can affect surface finish. This answer to a reader's question focuses on imbalance and frequency sensitivity.
The Online Optimizer
Coming soon: The Machine Tool Genome Project promises to let almost any machine shop use its machining centers more productively. Shops will benefit from tap-test findings without personally tapping any of their own machines or tools.
Software/Tooling Partnership Promises Easier HSM
High-efficiency parameters are calculated automatically—partly using a slider that lets the programmer set the level of aggressiveness.
How to Overcome an Acc/Dec Limitation in High Speed Machining
A small pocket in a graphite workpiece limits productivity. Part of the expert's response is to consider how a lower feed rate might actually be more productive—because the machine will spend more time at the programmed rate.
Basic Questions on High Speed Machining
Can HSM apply to turning? Does the "speed" refer to cutting speed or spindle speed? What is the explanation behind lower forces and lower heat generation?
Another Angle On HSM
The savings in setup time were welcome enough, but this mold maker found that a 3+2 machining center also accelerated its use of high speed machining.
When Spindle Speed is a Constraint
Though it won't replace high speed machining, Boeing sees "low speed machining" as a viable supplement to higher-rpm machines. Using new tools and techniques, a shop's lower-rpm machining centers can realize much more of their potential productivity...
