"Paula, darlin, I love you dearly. I so wish I could just spend a day with you in the kitchen. I tried this pie for Thanksgiving, and it came out not so great. There is no way in high heavens you can only bake the pie 25 mins longer. More like 40 at least. I'd never baked a pecan pie before, so of course I wasn't aware it wasn't supposed to still be..."

An independent author, I wish you happy reading on the site and within the books. All of my indie novels are available as free ebooks on Smashwords, and at other online retailers.
A beginning quilter, I am eager to explore that adventure amid a return to writing. The words weren't gone for long, just subtly shoved aside by fabric, thread, and batting. Now those pastimes will learn to mutually coexist, with hopefully little fuss from either.

Sigh... This vegan cheese spread is made from oatmeal, pimentos, nutritional yeast, a little oil and onion powder. (Who would have thought to mix those things together??) And it tastes just like pub/beer cheese. It is low in calories, and has no cholesterol.
I am one happy girl. :)

Network Marketing Tips – 6 Tips for Network Marketing Success
If you plan to climb the MLM (Multi-level Marketing) ladder, you need a few network marketing tips to help you gain secure footing to reach the top.
There is no denying the network marketing game is tough to get into, but the rewards can be incredibly sweet once you gain momentum.
Here are six tips to boost your success and position you as a leader.
Network Marketing Tips #1 – Get Into a Business Mindset
The truth is few people survive the MLM gauntlet. They believe network marketing offers an easy solution to financial freedom, and that once they have a system set up the cash will roll in like nobody's business. The reality is this type of mindset could kill your venture before you even begin.
The problem is that many would-be marketers throw in the towel as soon as they perceive an obstacle to be insurmountable. They surrender in defeat and jump onto the next opportunity that comes their way. They fail to treat their network marketing business as a business.
As a network marketer, you have to set specific goals for both long-term and short-term success. You have to focus on true income generating activities, such as obtaining and closing leads.
You have to develop your skills and knowledge through training and education. You have to concentrate on one opportunity at a time.
You have to put as much work, passion, and energy into your business as you do the rest of your life. Suddenly, you will discover there is no reason to surrender in defeat and that those terrifying obstacles are easier to overcome.
Network Marketing Tips #2 – Target the Right People
While it would make your MLM journey easier, your friends and family are most likely not your target.
In fact, if you notice they make every effort to avoid your pitch, you know you have the wrong people mind. The key to finding qualified leads is research and plenty of it.
Get into the heads of your prospects to understand who they are, what solutions they need, and how you can help them. Your opportunity should be the solution that solves their problem and helps them achieve their goals.
Targeting the wrong group will get you nowhere fast, so make certain you do your homework.
"The question is how and where to find the right people?"
Discover how we rake in daily leads and sign ups on autopilot without bugging friends and family members.
Network Marketing Tips #3 – Use a Proven MLM System
A simple way to get ahead is to leverage a proven MLM marketing system. A tested system practically provides you with a blueprint for profit generation.
It gives you successful strategies you can implement to produce duplication within your downline, and ultimately explodes your profits.
If you prefer to develop your own MLM system, make certain it produces the results you desire, or you could be wasting valuable time and energy on something that does not work.
Network Marketing Tips #4 – Find a Mentor
It is so important to pinpoint experienced network marketers who are creating the results you want.
You can learn a lot from these people as they impart industry wisdom. A mentor can also provide you with the advice and tools you need to achieve similar results.
Network Marketing Tips #5 – Position Yourself as a Leader
To succeed in this business, you need to be a leader. You also need to cultivate the expectation of leadership within your team.
No one can hang around on the middle rung of the MLM ladder indefinitely and expect cash to pour into their coffers. Constantly encourage a culture of leadership within your business, so that everyone plays his or her part.
Network Marketing Tips #6 – Leverage the Internet
Thanks to the Internet, the way in which we build MLM businesses has changed. With no geographic limitations and a much wider reach, you can target far more people online than you ever could in the offline arena.
With a well thought-out online marketing strategy, you can amplify your MLM lead generation efforts and bring in a consistent stream of targeted and qualified leads. The bottom line: if you are not network marketing online, you are missing a huge chunk of your market.
3 Bonus Network Marketing Tips
1. As a powerful way to engage new people and make contacts, you should attend network marketing events whenever you can. However, you need to realize every marketer there is going to pitch his or her business.
Therefore, you need to be different to stand out from the MLM noise. For example, while everyone else focuses on handing out their business cards, you should focus on collecting the business cards of your prospects. Follow up with them the day after the event and start building profitable relationships.
2. Be careful not to exhaust your warm market. While it is a good place to start, since you already have relationships with these people, they might run in the wrong direction if you only focus on the outcome.
Nurture your relationships, provide value, and focus on providing your warm market with a positive experience.
3. The riches of MLM lie in sponsorship and recruitment. You can tap into that by implementing an optimized funded proposal system, such My Lead System Pro.
This program not only helps you attract leads, but it also increases your cash flow by creating multiple income streams, and helps boost the number of people who join your primary business.
These network marketing tips are only the tip of the iceberg. It is only through trial and error that you will discover what works for your business and gain the experience you need to succeed.

The Scotsman website has been given a brand new design - and a separate site for the Edinburgh Evening News has been launched at the same time.
The aim of the new sites is to build on the recent impressive growth of Scotsman.com by emphasising the historic well-known brands, and also give The Edinburgh Evening News dedicated digital platforms, including its own mobile site. Previously the Evening News pages were within the Scotsman site.
The sites feature many of the benefits of the templates already rolled out to over 60 other Johnston Press websites, plus some additional changes to reflect the depth of content and the ongoing importance of links between the two.
The new sites were warmly received when presented to an invited audience of clients and advertisers in Edinburgh earlier this month, attended by Johnston Press chief executive Ashley Highfield and group commercial & marketing director Neil Jones.
Scotland publishing unit MD Stuart Birkett said: "Everyone is very excited about these fantastic new launches. The development of separate sites for The Scotsman and Edinburgh Evening News allows us to really build on the distinctive identity of each title. Additionally, we are now even better placed to meet the needs of our readers and advertisers and take a much more relevant offering to market across Scotland and its capital. We all look forward to seeing further growth in the months ahead."
Early signs in terms of traffic and feedback have been encouraging and there has been a noticeable boost in referrals to related channels like WOW247 and its recently-launched Edinburgh Festivals microsite.
Figures from launch day last Monday showed like-for-like unique users were up 16% week-on-week, page views 22% (the highest for the year so far), while responses to our user survey has seen similarly positive reaction to that from other sites which have relaunched. A total of 87% so far think the new Scotsman site is an improvement on the old one and 77% gave the new Edinburgh site a mark of 7/10 or higher.
Senior product manager Liz Brown said: "It's really reassuring to see the audience engaging with the new sites and we'll closely monitor the analytics and user behaviour to ensure they continue to come back and interact on both the desktop and mobile sites. We'll be rolling out more updates to the sites on a regular basis over the coming months."
The relaunches mean 63 websites across the Group now have the new look, those websites accounting for close to 90% of our digital audience. The plan and timeline for switching over all remaining sites is now being finalised.

Daniel Tseghay and Sean Antrim: Vancouver viaducts and learning from history
This week, Vision Vancouver solidified its plans to remove the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts.
The party is claiming that the removal will correct a previous planning mistake and erase barriers between different parts of the city, creating space for park land and affordable housing. These are noble goals, and if they're achieved, they could justify the proposal.
However, if the past gives us any insight, they are not the real reasons Vision wants to tear the viaducts down.
In October 2009, councillor Geoff Meggs made a telling admission. "No major development around or on the north False Creek lands can go ahead without confronting the viaducts," he wrote, hinting at who Vision Vancouver is really working for.
A look around the site where the viaducts currently sit shows that the land is owned by two of Vancouver's largest real-estate developers, Concord Pacific and Aquilini Development, both of whom donated heavily to Vision's campaign in the last election.
Meggs went on to ask: "[I]s it time to replace them with something better?" The problem is that, considering the trend of massive tax breaks and the watering down of affordable housing definitions and requirements, it will only be better for real-estate developers and the future owners of the projects. Last year alone, Vision gave the Aquilinis a $35 million tax break on their property surrounding the Rogers Arena on the condition they create unaffordable market-rental units.
Though we agree that the viaducts should go down, we wonder what would be constructed in their place.
Vision has consistently put developer profits ahead of the interests of the people who need affordable housing, which makes their attempt to justify their plans by evoking the neighbourhood's activist history questionable.
Decades ago, city planners worked to build a massive real-estate development, known then as Project 200, on top of what is now the Downtown Eastside. A freeway system, designed with the real-estate project in mind, would have paved over much of Chinatown. The Strathcona Property Owners and Tenants' Association spearheaded a grassroots movement which stopped the "revitalization" project and the freeways, leaving the viaducts a mere vestige of a development cul-de-sac.
In 1972, Hogan's Alley, then the city's African-Canadian neighbourhood, was bulldozed to build the current overpass, but SPOTA and other groups managed to halt a massive highway system through the city and a dystopian real-estate development on top of the DTES.
Now, Vision opportunistically co-opts this tradition of resistance to cover its current project with a social and activist veneer, claiming that it too wants to reconnect Strathcona to the rest of the city and therefore must tear down the viaducts. The mayor and majority of council are piggybacking on the grassroots movement of Strathcona residents who fought the construction of the viaducts and the demolition and displacement in Chinatown in the late 1960s. But really they're using the same booster rhetoric of "revitalization" and "redevelopment" that the NPA used back in 1968 to justify Project 200.
The city staff report for the viaduct removal project argues that "[i]n every city's evolution there are opportunities to correct a past planning wrong". The entire Project 200 plan, with the freeway and expensive office towers branded as "revitalization", would have displaced thousands of residents. Now the city is making the same mistake.
This isn't the first time that Vision has marketed a corporate welfare project as progressive—indeed, that's Vision's bread and butter. Every single real-estate project Vision Vancouver has approved has been branded a progressive solution to a pressing problem, whether it's artists fleeing the city, the crisis of housing affordability, climate change, or small-businesses shutting their doors. These projects end up far out of reach of most renters, especially those who are most marginalized.
After five years of Vision's corporate welfare, the city is more unaffordable than ever, the police budget is the highest it has ever been, the cost of using transit is more expensive, and renovictions and displacement are rampant. Social housing at the Olympic Village; the project of ending homelessness; displacement in the Downtown Eastside: each time, Vision cast itself as an progressive party with social aims, yet accomplished more at the expense of their intended beneficiaries than on their behalf.
This past week, VANDU president Dave Hamm highlighted that the number of market housing units is quickly outpacing the construction of much needed social housing by a ratio of 24 units of market housing for each unit of social housing. According to the city's own laws, the ratio is supposed to be a maximum of five to one.
In this light, Vision's vaunted and valorized affordable housing tokenism won't materialize. If they've chosen not to build affordable units under normal, and even favourable conditions, can we really expect a change when they have to pay the expected $135 million to clear the viaducts and subsequently create affordable housing? The city will likely pay for this by selling of its land around the site, meaning the construction of social housing is unlikely.
This helps the developers in two ways. Developers would rather not have social housing near their luxury condos and, by tearing down the viaducts, the city is making it possible to develop Concord and Aquilini's land, dramatically increasing the land value. And for all this, the city won't make the developers pay for anything—it's old school corporate welfare, in a nutshell.
Things can turn out differently if we again look to the past for insight. The movement was the start of a long struggle to include the community in the planning process in Vancouver, and to stop displacement, especially in Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside. It culminated in the construction of huge public housing projects in southwest False Creek and Champlain Heights, a model that we should still be following today.
This is the real lesson for Vision, a party which is at a "turning point". They can continue to pay lip service to a tradition which, in its opposition to Project 200, would today oppose the selling off of public land to private developers—or they can commit to extensive construction of public housing and sincerely embody the progressive ideals they've so far only echoed opportunistically.
I live near West 41st and Arbutus and I do not own or controll these 2 roads.
Vancouver has changed in the last 40 years and there is a critical need for efficient roadways into and out of downtown.
About 90,000 people live downtown and another 190,000 commute to downtown every day. Closing Point Grey/Cornwall and tearing down the Viaducts will cause huge traffic problems, add about an hour to everyone daily commute and cause more auto pollution.
If your response is more rapid transit, then expand the Sky Train Stations and expand the Bus service FIRST!!!
This is a total scam with developers hiding in the wings to make Mega Millions.
By the way, when I looked at a model with the Viaducts gone, so was the Skytrain Bridge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prime Minister Steven Harper gave the West 29 Ave social housing Complex - 4 square blocks - to Gordon Campbell instead of City of Vancouver. sold to a private Corporation.
Prime Minister Harper just sold the downtown Canada Post Headquarters Building to developers - no details released. Approx 4 city Square Blocks
Mayor Moonbeam just gave One City Block - $200 Million dollars worth for a POTENTIAL ART GALLERY that is years off - Maybe - Possibly - Yah got $250,000,000 for and Art gallery - Call Bob Rennie and friends.
Social Housing is not a priority for any level of Government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this statement. Clearly everyone should be equalized to the lowest common denominator.
Strathcona and along the waterfront below Project 200 were related initiatives that were wisely dropped, but the viaducts were built above grade purely because of the railyards below. Now, with the railyards gone, the need for grade-separated access to downtown is pretty much eliminated.
As a nearby neighbour I have no axe to grind with the viaducts remaining or being removed, but I suspect the urban form and livability will be better if they are removed. And if developers are speculating on land deals, on land where there is likely expensive remediation required due to former industrial uses, well that's how development happens. No great conspiracy. My guess is the cost of remediation makes the land almost worthless... i.e. it will cost as much to remediate for residential use as it will be worth.
COPE seems to have a position that says that if only we build more affordable housing all our problems in Vancouver will disappear. They seem like a one issue party and I'm concerned that their position will only entrench the drug addled public pissers of the DTES.
I strongly support the gentrification of Gastown because it may compel us to find ways to deal with the homeless problem instead of feeding it, as COPE seems to want to do. I oppose COPE they are simply pro DTES.
I don't like Vision's developer giveaways either. I believe in a limited capitalism. Gentrification done right creates a beautiful city. And beauty is good for everyone.
The entire project is to build more condos and the original plan showed a great deal of green space and many water features and a lake. That's never going to happen. There may be a concrete fountain or two (as in Yaletown) but the only green will be some of the usual low-maintenance shrubs that you see everywhere. Most of the space will be condo towers, and few will be affordable.
Positive changes are always accompanied by a healthy dose of self interest. When pot activists forced governments to allow medical marijuana was it due to a altruistic concern for cancer patients, or because they knew it was a stepping stone on the road to legalization? They know what's good for their cause.
Something can be both profitable AND good for society. Yes, developers will benefit by development of the area. So will the people who get to live in the developments. So will the environment because those people will walk, bike, and take transit. So will the city with property tax revenue. So will the poor with more social housing (rather than just concrete; any amount is better than nothing). So will I, a renter elsewhere in the city, as increased supply of housing decreases the cost of housing.
You seem to think that when a parking lot is transformed into market housing, it takes away housing from the poor. It doesn't. It helps them by increasing supply of housing and so decreasing cost of housing. Even if the housing is marketed to richer people than them, it relieves the pressure for richer people to move into poorer neighborhoods. Remember kids - price is the intersection of supply and demand. The only real way to make housing affordable in a free market is to either decrease demand, or increase supply. Developers will PAY US to increase supply. We should let them.
While Surrey gradually transforms into our new financial district, Downtown Vancouver will be left with very wealthy residents riding bicycles...thanks to the Master Plan of Vision, Concord and Acquilini.
Or do we have to breathe the extra fumes these cars will create in stop and go traffic for another 50 years?
Do not we learn anything from the history of this uncompleted project?

Myocardial rupture
Myocardial rupture | |
Classification and external resources | |
DiseasesDB | 8569 |
eMedicine | med/1571 |
MeSH | D006341 |
Myocardial rupture (or heart rupture) is a laceration or tearing of the walls of the ventricles or atria of the heart, of the interatrial or interventricular septum, of the papillary muscles or chordae tendineae or of one of the valves of the heart. It is most commonly seen as a serious sequela of an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
It can also be caused by trauma.[1]
The most common cause of myocardial rupture is a recent myocardial infarction, with the rupture typically occurring three to five days after infarction.[2] Other causes of rupture include cardiac trauma, endocarditis (infection of the heart),[3][4] cardiac tumors, infiltrative diseases of the heart,[3] and aortic dissection.[citation needed]
Risk factors for rupture after an acute myocardial infarction include female gender,[5][6] advanced age of the individual,[5][6] and a low body mass index.[5] Other presenting signs associated with myocardial rupture include a pericardial friction rub, sluggish flow in the coronary artery after it is opened i.e. revascularized with an angioplasty, the left anterior descending artery being often the cause of the acute MI,[5][6][7] and delay of revascularization greater than 2 hours.[6]
The incidence of myocardial rupture has decreased in the era of urgent revascularization and aggressive pharmacological therapy for the treatment of an acute myocardial infarction. However, the decrease in the incidence of myocardial rupture is not uniform; there is a slight increase in the incidence of rupture if thrombolytic agents are used to abort a myocardial infarction.[8] On the other hand, if primary percutaneous coronary intervention is performed to abort the infarction, the incidence of rupture is significantly lowered.[6] The incidence of myocardial rupture if PCI is performed in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction is about 1 percent.[5]
Myocardial ruptures can be classified as one of three types.
- Type I myocardial rupture is an abrupt slit-like tear that generally occurs within 24 hours of an acute myocardial infarction.
- Type II is an erosion of the infarcted myocardium, which is suggestive of a slow tear of the dead myocardium. Type II ruptures typically occur more than 24 hours after the infarction occurred.
- Type III ruptures are characterized by early aneurysm formation and subsequent rupture of the aneurysm.[9]
Another method for classifying myocardial ruptures is by the anatomical portion of the heart that has ruptured. By far the most dramatic is rupture of the free wall of the left or right ventricles, as this is associated with immediate hemodynamic collapse and death secondary to acute pericardial tamponade. Rupture of the interventricular septum will cause a ventricular septal defect. Rupture of a papillary muscle will cause acute mitral regurgitation.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Symptoms of myocardial rupture are recurrent or persistent chest pain, syncope, and distension of jugular vein.
Due to the acute hemodynamic deterioration associated with myocardial rupture, the diagnosis is generally made based on physical examination, changes in the vital signs, and clinical suspicion. The diagnosis can be confirmed with echocardiography.
The treatment for myocardial rupture is supportive in the immediate setting and surgical correction of the rupture, if feasible.[citation needed] A certain small percentage of individuals do not seek medical attention in the acute setting and survive to see the physician days or weeks later. In this setting, it may be reasonable to treat the rupture medically and delay or avoid surgery completely, depending on the individual's comorbid medical issues.
The prognosis of myocardial rupture is dependent on a number of factors, including which portion of the myocardium is involved in the rupture. In one case series, if myocardial rupture involved the free wall of the left ventricle, the mortality rate was 100.0%.[5] Even if the individual survives the initial hemodynamic sequelae of the rupture, the 30 day mortality is still significantly higher than if rupture did not occur.[5]

Other Pets at Southern Dogs Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Noah, a Warwick Australian Cattle Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Cattle Dog for sale in Warwick, or seeking a Australian Cattle Dog puppy from a breeder in Warwick.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Warwick 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 Warwick 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 Australian Cattle Dog breeders who help with Australian Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Warwick paves the way for another one to be saved.

Charlotte Lindley, M.S.,brings a unique blend of education, professional and personal experiences that underscore her passion for helping men and women develop their Signature Style.
She describes Signature Style as the message each of us communicates to the world that tells others who we are from the outside-in.
Charlotte's own Signature Style is energetic, athletic, polished and engaged in living life fully. She communicates her message by taking pride in her personal appearance, energetic body language, confidence and interest in others.
She received her M.S. from Oklahoma State in the area of human behavior. She worked in the field for several years but felt she needed a more artistic outlet and became a partner in a reproduction antique doll business for the next 20 years. During this time she studied facial symmetry, color, fine fabrics and the importance details and "special touches" make in creating quality branding.
In 2007, Charlotte decided to pursue her passion in helping adults interested in looking their best and feeling confident that they are communicating the first impression they want to make. She obtained certification in Life and Relationship Coaching as well as Image Consulting. Helping clients develop Signature Style requires more than expertise in color, wardrobe management and style; it involves self-awareness and clarity in life vision and having a roadmap for success.
When not helping clients realize their Signature Style, she is training for endurance events. Her philosophy for staying young is to commit to new challenges; both physical and mental. A marathon runner for 37 years, Strength and Conditioning Coach since 1997, started Adventure Racing at 50 and ultra-distance trail running at 55…finishing her first 100 mile event in 2010. What's next?
Charlotte is "a lady with a passion for beautiful things who doesn't mind getting dirty."

Edison State College Nursing Program 2012 - page 4
Hello all, I am applying for the ESC Nursing program for the summer this year, but I am nervous as to the points I have. I have calculated everything and I have roughly 85-87 points (most likely 87)... Read More
0May 3, '12 by WannaBNursey, ADN, RNQuote from Hllyl09I live in Port Charlotte, so it's in my back yard. I don't know where Buckingham is Clinicals are at Peace River and Charlotte Regional Medical Center, Fawcett Memorial Hospital and Cape Coral Hospital.I have already gone to Orientation.. Last Friday actually. Ill shoot an email to the instructor.
SuperMehgan: Is Charlotte a long drive for you? I like In Buckingham. and I was wondering if I would be hating life if I went to Charlotte even if I was desperate. Also What hospital will you be doing clinicals at in Charlotte?
Im full of questions. Thanks for being kind and answering them! lol
Charlotte County is a very safe place to live, but it's pretty boring too. I'm a homebody so I love it here! If you take Tamiami Trail north from Fort Myers and just stay on that road, it's not that bad of a drive. -
0May 3, '12 by Stcroix, PhD, RNQuote from aaenglandThe bridge or 'advanced placement' program is no where near as competitive as the basic program. I don't know the points needed, but I know some of these students and they told me that over 50% of those who apply get in. This is in contrast to the basic program where it is more like 20%. Good luck to you, it is a great program, I am going into my last semester.Hi,
I am currently living in the state of GA & looking into the LPN-RN program at Edison, applying in October. Does anyone know how competitive that program is, not the basic? Also, does anyone know the scores that have been accepted?
Thank you! -
0May 3, '12 by Hllyl09Awesome. Im glad the Cape is an option. Buckingham is about 30 mins from Edison-Lee and about 45 minutes from Edison Charlotte. Fort Myers is pretty boring as well. Once you explore what we have to offer its boring the second time around. What did you get on your Hesi? The full 40 points? I have memorized all my roman numerals, proportions, and fractions. I just hope I can change improper fractions to mixed numbers and not get confused. Which questions in the math section were not mulitply choice, where you have to type in the answer?Last edit by Hllyl09 on May 3, '12
0May 5, '12 by WannaBNursey, ADN, RNThe basic take 2.5 years if you include the summer semester. As for the HESI, you are tested on biology, math (especially fractions and conversions), reading, language arts, and basic anatomy and physiology. I would suggest having already finished A&P1 and 2 or at least A&P1, because the anatomy section is difficult to understand without that education.
0Jun 28, '12 by patricia0809Hello everyone! Just wanted to say hi to the new students, the old students and the students trying to get into the program! I'm going into my third semester and I must say its a great program. I hope everyone is doing well

Samantha says
Thank you x 10! These look fantastic and simple enough for a novice baker like myself.
Sarah in CA says
is there a substitution for the dates? As a type 1 diabetic I should never eat dates as that causes my blood glucose to shoot above 200+ on my meter. Otherwise the cookies look divine. The filling would work in many other recipes. Thanks so much.
Hannapat says
These look fab thanks for sharing them xxx
Jules says
They look lovely! When you say 'any nut flour' does that include coconut?
Dana Smith says
these are no bake?
Dana Smith says
These are no bake?
Beckie says
My daughter and I are in the process of making these right now! So delicious so far…one question though. The filling? How does yours look so white? When I added the honey and vanilla to the coconut butter, it turned a caramel color. Still tastes fabulous, so it's not a big deal, I just wonder if I did something wrong?
Karen L says
not sure i know what coconut butter/cream concentrate is? something i will find in the store?
Cheryl Geller says
I ordered it from Amazon
Anonymous says
I would love a "print" option….am I missing it? Thanks!
Anonymous says
I had to try…very tasty dough, but I had a lot of trouble getting the dough to come together. I added 2 extra teaspoons of water, but still too dry. I added 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and then the dough was lovely to work with. Thanks!
Amber says
Since these paleoeos aren't being cooked will coconut flour work the same? By the way these look amazing!
Anonymous says
Are there any other, non-nut flours that can be used? Can't wait to try these!!!
Anonymous says
Looks yummy.. What is coconut cream? Oil? Ty
Kelly says
Sarah, This is not a low-sweetener recipe for sure. I would stick with another one of my recipes, and stay away from the date recipes
Jules, No, I doubt coconut flour will work. I've used walnut meal, and I think even a sunflower seeds (ground) would work.
Dana, Yes, no bake
Beckie, The filling is not white, but when it chills it will be whiter.
Karen, They have it in lots of stores, and you can click on the link in the post too
Nessa Y. says
Would Almond meal work as flour?
Kelly says
Nessa, Yes, absolutely!
Jodie cope says
I wish I could show you a photo of your cookbook right now! My daughter (who can't eat soy dairy gluten) got a hold of it and marked all the pages she wants us to make. The book is now bulging with bright green bookmarks! Our first recipe is going to be the chocolate donuts.
I was also wondering if you would be willing to let me post the donut recipe on my blog (of course with all the proper accolades to you etc..) feel free to check out my site and let me know if that would be okay.
Thanks for all the hard work that makes our lives so much better!
Anonymous says
These were a huge hit with my 6 and 8 year old girls. We actually rolled the left over bits of dough into "power balls", which were a huge lunch box hit!- Adria
Amber Hammond says
Will maple syrup work as a sub for dates or is dates a requirement? Thanks they look yummy! Amber
Emma and Carla: the merrymaker sisters says
LOVE LOVE this recipe! We just added it to our 'best paleo valentines day recipes' list!
Brenda says
These are so easy to make and taste decadent. My picky 3 year old (aka: Hope and Tom's grandson, Nolan) couldn't stop eating the cookie dough – which made me very happy because I have trouble getting him to eat healthy fats. I found them to be the perfect Saturday morning breakfast with a cup of coffee for myself. Thanks for the recipe and congrats on all your success here!
Uwimana says
Is there any other way to process the dates if you don't have a food processor?
Kelly says
You could try using a blender to process the dates, but I've never done it.
Amy lee says
Betting my gf/sf/corn free/cf boy will like these. Pulling healthy treats over on a 13 y/o is trickier than the young ins! Even if he has been eating this way for several years;) I smile when I see the family chefs starting their tikes early:) Good plan! I am wondering if using the coconut nectar instead of honey would work? He seems to react to honey now too:(
Thank you Kelly for all of your hard work in the kitchen/lab:). And for sharing your gifts with all of us! Your a blessing to many of us!
Heather says
I made these cookies for Valentine's Day and they turned out great. My son used them for part of a dessert for the Valentine's dinner he cooked for his girlfriend. She has several food sensitivities. I found them a great treat and that one was enough. They were also easy to make. I will be making them again, possibly changing the flavor of the filling a bit with orange or strawberry. Just to put a bit of a twist on the coconut. Thank you for so many good ideas!
Michele Voss says
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can't get the frosting to be anything other than watery
Kalyn says
Can I use wet almond pulp/meal instead of nut flour?
Kelly says
I think so!
BevvyG says
Just got these out the freezer and served – they are DELICIOUS!!

It's been four years since the film version of Watchmen disappointed everyone, but the past week has seen a sudden and rather unexpected burst of Hollywood infighting among various parties attached to the movie. Last week, Hollywood uber-producer Joel Silver revealed to ComingSoon the crazypants ending that Terry Gilliam was planning when he was attached to the movie, and also accused director Zack Snyder of being "too much of a slave to the material."
In a new interview with the Huffington Post, Snyder hits back, accurately describing Gilliam's ending as "completely insane" and explaining that his whole purpose in making Watchmen was to maintain the purity of Watchmen's creative essence. "I made it because I knew that the studio would have made the movie anyway and they would have made it crazy," says Snyder. "I finally made it to save it from the Terry Gilliams of this world."

ASSEMBLE HEAD IN SUNBURST SOUND to Release New Album "Manzanita" on June 19th!
San Francisco psychedelic rock band ASSEMBLE HEAD IN SUNBURST SOUND will release its long-awaited new album Manzanita on June 19. Described by the band as "jangly and fuzzy and spacey and contemplative" and a record that "conjures the feelings of sitting on a hill on Saturday at sunset and considering everything that's great and beautiful and fucked up all at once," the record features nine colorful tracks of AHISS' kick ass Cali-psych. Recorded in Grass Valley, CA's Louder Studios (Howlin Rain, Melvins), Manzanita is the follow up to the band's 2009 release When Sweet Sleep Returned which was called "a fascinating blend of post-apocalyptic dread and blissed-out reverie" by Pitchfork and "space-traveling fuzzbox boogie" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Manzanita is available for pre-order now at this location.

Kids are notorious for repeatedly asking their parents for a pet, and after hearing the question a million times, you might consider adding a four-legged friend to your household. While getting a pet is a big undertaking, the valuable life lessons kids will learn-from responsibility to compassion-are priceless.
"Adding a pet to the home is a major decision," says Gina DiNardo, a spokesperson for the AKC's annual Meet the Breeds event in Manhattan. "While often a big responsibility, having a dog or cat really helps children grow into well-rounded adults by teaching them social skills and important life lessons."
Having a dog or cat at home helps children emotionally and physically. Not only does caring for a pet teach kids responsibility and respect for animals, it helps keep them more active in a world where childhood obesity runs rampant.
On average, children who have a dog at home spend about 15 more minutes a week being active than those who don't. Below are only a few of the many things that caring for a pet can teach your children.
Responsibility: Having a pet at home teaches kids to care for another living being. They learn to consider their pet's needs and develop compassion for others. Depending on your child's age, some responsibilities he or she can take on are feeding your dog or cat, refilling the water, brushing your dog, and giving him love and attention. Young children should always be supervised around pets. Social Skills: Kids learn to be gentle and respectful to their pets-like not pulling on the dog's tail-which carries into other aspects of life, encouraging consideration of others. Pets also help kids build their confidence. Pets don't judge and they give kids unconditional love and acceptance, which helps develop self-esteem. Children also learn empathy from their pets. They become curious about their pet's emotions and want them to be happy and healthy.
Staying Healthy: Pets help keep kids healthy by adding exercise to their day. Taking the dog for a walk and teaching him how to fetch keeps children active and outdoors instead of in front of the television and computer. Kids can also help train their dog, which is a great way for them to bond and build a relationship. Learning About Death: When the family pet dies, kids have the opportunity to learn about death and how to deal with sad and difficult situations with their families. If you do choose to add a dog or cat to your family, make sure you do your research and pick the breed that will work best with your family's lifestyle.
Also, check out all your options for adopting a pet, whether it be a purebred, mixed breed, or rescue animal.
And for more information on finding and caring for a canine or feline pet, visit the American Kennel Club at akc.org.

I made this moderate size duffle bag with matching toiletry/makeup bag for a family member for Christmas. She wanted bright and fun fabric and loved purple.
I bought some fun duck cloth and added light purple webbing for straps and for the zipper. I added pockets on the side of the duffle and embroidered B's in purple. I did not line the duffle because I made a ripstop bag to go inside to put her suit in. I added a double pocket on the inside of the suit bag and hand embroidered the front. I used an old not used shoelace and a toggle. The toiletry/makeup bag I used the same fabric combo but I lined this. All of this fits in the duffle plus a pair of flip flops and a towel. I also made a removable purple suede tassle. I used a couple different ideas for the duffle and added some of my own. Oh almost forgot to say on the caolina pattern for the US folk use a 3/8" not a 5/8" sa and trim the sides when you put on the seam binding it will work way better.
Since this is a duffle set for the gym for her swin class I would pair this with for her Beach Blanket Bingo Piece Plus Size for the ModCloth Handmade contest

(migrations) Popping the Corkscrew By Frank Graham Jr. It is by now almost stating the obvious that the presence of rare and endangered birds in an ecosystem can lead to its preservation. Witness the Corkscrew Swamp Watershed Important Bird Area (IBA), near Naples in southern Florida. This diverse area, about 80,000 acres, encompasses most of the state's habitats. Pine flatwoods, cypress swamp, and sawgrass marsh predominate. It attracts 218 native bird species, including endangered wood storks, swallow-tailed kites, and various herons and egrets. At the IBA's core lies National Audubon's 11,000-acre Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, which marks its 50th anniversary this year. When conservationists united in the 1950s to protect the magnificent strands of bald cypress from logging, the area's declining stork colony in Corkscrew became a focus of the fund-raising effort that culminated in the sanctuary's creation. Today a 2.25-mile boardwalk leads into the shadows of the ancient cypress forest and out into open marsh. The loggers are gone, but other activities threaten the water levels vital to wading birds; citrus groves, gated communities, golf courses, and roads have all led to harmful drainage schemes. By monitoring water levels, biologists can battle projects that threaten the IBA's plants and animals. The sanctuary and nature center are open every day.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
While the global financial crisis impacted almost all new entrepreneurs, it began in developed countries and hit their entrepreneurs harder. As a result, in richer countries, new business creation dropped sharply amid the crisis. In contrast, new business registrations in many low-income countries didn't change much. These are the findings in The 2010 World Bank Group Entrepreneurship Snapshots, which presents data collected about newly registered companies in 112 countries and was released recently.
The 2010 Translational Medicine Alliance Forum, hosted by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the Council for American Medical Innovation and Faster Cures, convened industry leaders to help facilitate a better understanding of effective models enabling and accelerating the progress of translating scientific research into patient treatment focusing on three key elements:
The following is a collaborative post by Jonathan Ortmans, president of the Public Forum Institute and a senior fellow at the Kauffman Foundation, and Anders Hoffman, Director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy for Erhvervs- og Byggestyrelsen
Denmark is in many ways a paradoxical country. It has the world's highest taxes and yet Danes are among the happiest people in the world according to the U.S. National Science Foundation. Denmark has generous social benefits, a large public sector and yet is quite innovative and entrepreneurial. The Global Competitiveness Report and the Index of Economic Freedom both rank Denmark 9th on their world lists, and the Legatum Prosperity Index ranks the country 6th in entrepreneurship and innovation. Denmark did not end in the top ten of these world lists by chance. What steps and policy initiatives made this possible?
Since it was launched in 2008 by the Kauffman Foundation and Enterprise UK, more than 18,000 partner organizations joined the global movement to shape the next generation of entrepreneurs. In its still short life, GEW has established a solid and ongoing presence in more than 100 countries -- and counting. During the same time period, over 10 million people around the world have participated in GEW activities and 2010 promises to boost that total to tap even more human capital and breathe life into new startups.
While the majority of nations this year will start Global Entrepreneurship Week on November 15th, some countries are conducting their celebrations a week or more in advance due to an important Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha, falling on November 16th.
Throughout this week, when another 80 countries launch Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), there will be a significant number of events organized by GEW partners at universities, schools, companies, professional associations, technological centers and municipalities. Like last week's events in Muslim countries, the activities will be diversified, ranging from thematic conferences to networking with investors and entrepreneurs, presentation of business plans, recreational events, sport events, cultural events, etc. There will be something for everyone and I encourage all to take advantage of these opportunities.
I am happy to report that in its third year, Global Entrepreneurship Week grew by leaps and bounds. As more countries take advantage of this global movement, more minds are pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams. GEW has not just inspired students looking for a way to reach their goals, but the leaders of nations who were inspired in their efforts to boost growth by the sheer energy of the millions of participants in GEW activities during the past two weeks. In case you haven't been following, here are a couple of anecdotes from this year's Week, and the reaction it produced among some of the world's leaders.
"In business, the only certain thing is failure. Especially when you operate in a place like Indonesia," Sandiaga Uno said earlier this year during his visit to the U.S. for President Obama's Summit on Entrepreneurship. After being laid off during the financial crisis in Asia in the late 90s, Uno decided to try entrepreneurship to pay off credit card debt and put food on his family's table. He is now the renowned co-founder of Saratoga Capital, the first private equity firm in Indonesia focusing on natural resources that grew from four workers to about 15,000 employees.
On my recent trip to South America during Global Entrepreneurship Week, I cast a mournful eye over Uruguay where, were it not for problems with flight schedules I had hoped to visit. Uruguay, the South American nation nestled between Brazil and Argentina, is trying to take the fast track toward becoming a startup economy.
Today and tomorrow the Senate will vote on President Obama's announced deal to extend for two years all of the tax cuts, both those from the Bush years and those for low-income workers from last year's stimulus package. Under this proposal, recently expired benefits for the long-term unemployed would also be extended for another 13 months. In addition, the agreement would cut payroll taxes for one-year. What does all this mean for entrepreneurs?
I have just returned from a brief last minute visit to Algiers where I spoke at a conference focused on the Maghreb countries: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Mauritania. The objectives of the Maghreb Entrepreneurship Conference, a follow-on to President Obama's Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship held in April 2010 in Washington, DC was to discuss strategies to promote job creation through entrepreneurship.

Foundation Centennial Birthday Celebration Tribute Dinner
Foundation sponsored videos and event photos.
In continuing to celebrate Gerald R. Ford's 100th birthday, the Foundation hosted the Annual Dinner in conjunction with a Centennial Tribute in Grand Rapids, Michigan. On May 6th, 2013 at the Amway Grand Hotel, members of the Ford Family, Trustee Board Members, friends from Grand Rapids and around the country joined together in Gerald R. Ford's hometown for this historic event. Brent Scowcroft was selected as the recipient of the 2013 Gerald R. Ford Medal for Distinguished Public Service for his years of dedication to America both as a military officer and advisor to numerous Presidents.
The medal was presented by Red Cavaney, President of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, Carla A. Hills, Foundation Trustee and Susan Ford Bales, daughter of Gerald & Betty Ford. The Ford Family also presented Richard DeVos with a special gift from the family for his years of support to the Foundation and for his longtime friendship with the family.
The evening also featured a special guest panel with Steve Ford, Dick Cheney, Bob Schieffer and Ben Stein. The panel spoke on the legacy of Gerald R. Ford, their personal reflections on his Presidency and of the many memories they had of "Jerry". The evening concluded with a performance by the United States Army Chorus that include several of President Ford's favorite songs.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about whether or not babies should have their jabs. Doctors still say they should but there are many who claim vaccines can be harmful.
To jab or not to jab?
Some parents go so far as to skip inoculations altogether. Where will you find the best advice?
What does the National Health Service recommend for under 4's?
It is your decision whether or not to get your child immunised but your GP or health visitor will recommend the following, based on current NHS advice.
At around 8 weeks they will call your baby in for the "5-in-1," which is a single jab designed to vaccinate against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio and hib, a bacterial infection that can cause meningitis or pneumonia. A second and third booster jab of the "5-in-one" is given at 3 and 4 months of age.
At 2 months, the pneumococcal vaccination is also given to fight off pneumococcal bacteria, another strain which can lead to pneumonia, septicemia and meningitis. Second and third booster jabs are given for this at 4 months and again around a child's first birthday.
A specific meningitis C vaccination is given at 3 months, 4 months and 12 months, while MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) are vaccinated against at 1 year and just over 3 years.
Finally, at 3 years and 4 months old the recommendation is for children to have the DTaP/IPV, which boosts a child's defences against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio.
How do vaccines actually work?
Vaccines contain a tiny part of the virus that causes each disease so they kick start the child's immune system into producing antibodies. If a child then comes into contact with any of the infections, those antibodies will automatically recognise the disease and react against it.
What can be the side effects?
Serious side effects are considered very rare and some soreness in the arm, leg or buttock where the needle has pierced the skin is often all a child will experience. Some children can develop mild cases of measles or mumps after getting the MMR jab while, in even rarer cases, some children may experience seizures. A serious allergic reaction can occur following any of the jabs but it is unusual and the medical staff who administer injections are trained to handle extreme reactions.
Have vaccines ruled out certain illnesses?
It is generally thought that because the vaccination program in the U.K. has been so successful, certain illnesses such as polio, which can lead to permanent paralysis, have been eradicated. However the Daily Mail reports that whooping cough cases are sharply on the rise in the U.K., with cases more than doubling over the same period between 2011 and 2012.
Tuberculosis has also become more prevalent so vaccines against TB are on the rise. The recommended vaccinations for children change from time to time to react to such developments so always check with your doctor that your child has all those they need.
How do you make a decision?
Arm yourself with information. Vaccinations are really important but if you are concerned about side effects speak to your GP, your local health visitor or call NHS Direct. There are always risks but vaccinations can prevent childhood illness and they are, statistically, much less likely to harm your child than the disease itself.
