Bageltown Cafe, opened in February 2013, serves up coffee, tea, and classic deli cuisine. Patrons can order bagels smeared with scallion- or strawberry-infused cream cheeses, or opt for bialys and made-from-scratch baked sweets that are baked fresh each day. Cooks also grill panini sandwiches, prepare whitefish and lox salads, and sell Boar's Head meats and cheeses by the pound.
When not detailing playing-card cakes from moldable fondant, Get Baked prides itself on being a one-stop shop for lounging and noshing on all things crumbly sweet and oven baked. Fragrances of fresh-made focaccia, apple turnovers, and 100% Arabica blend coffee fill the quaint bakery where modern hanging lights dangle overhead like blown glass flowers. Beside red and black armchairs, display cases boast neat rows of cookies, brownies, and signature cupcakes such as roman apple and caramel Snickers. Get Baked also offers gelato and sorbet made with all-natural Italian imported ingredients, and 100 flavors of chilly snoball, made with ice crushed by the boxing gloves of Italy's own Rocky Balboa.
Johnny B's Coffee Shop serves up classic American eats in a classy '50s-style diner, layering modern sleekness over doo-wop ambience for locals looking for homemade goodness away from home. Breakfast is served all day, so get an early start to an afternoon by chowing down on made-to-order pancakes with peanut-butter chips ($6.99) and chasing them with freshly ground coffee ($1.25). Or grab a take-out-only commuter special to arrive at work fortified with two eggs, cheese, and bacon, ham, or sausage on a roll ($3.99). Lunchtime brings customers together on old-fashioned red barstools to unfold vengeance plots over a monte cristo sandwich, which encases ham or turkey and melted swiss cheese between twin french-toast slices ($8.95). Soups satisfy stomachs in different ways every day, and a rotating menu of daily specials means patrons are often graced with guest appearances by celebrity edibles ($3.95). If all the nostalgia floating around causes your throat to choke up mid-swallow, loosen it with slurpable desserts such as a soda float ($3.50) or an old-fashioned egg cream ($3.50).
Teapot takes its inspiration from the Victorian tearooms of old, where tea was equal parts an excuse to nosh mouthwatering sweets and a social engagement that eventually led to common-law marriages. Get into English character with a scone with butter or preserves ($4.50) to complement a hot, steaming pot of Earl Grey or Darjeeling ($6.95). Teapot's steepable leaf selection has more than 30 varieties of white, black, oolong, rooibos, herbal, and green goodness. While a bountiful brew dances upon your tongue, nibble bites of a specialty sandwich such as the Elizabeth, a cucumber and herb-cream sandwich on a toasted baguette, or the William—white cheddar, green apple, and herb mayonnaise on a croissant ($7.95 each). Pastries and salads are also on the menu.

Smoked clutch on a 5 speed
This is a two part topic.
As a new owner of a '95 powerstroke 5-speed, I needed to back my heavy RV up a hill into a camping spot. I've driven plenty of 5-speeds, and backed up plenty of trailers ... but I realized at that moment that this was the first time I was doing both while going up a hill. Things went wrong, so very, very wrong For starters, the reverse on this truck, even at idle, is astoundingly quick. Way too fast to back our mammoth 5th wheel into that spot. So, in order to keep my speed under control, I was feathering the clutch By time I had the rig half way into positions, a big plume of smoke came out from under the belly of my truck Anyhow, at that point it dawned on me that I could just drop it into 4-low, and work at a comfortable speed ... but the damage was done Once I got things into position, I left things where they lie. I didn't even want to start the truck again until it was time to haul it home. ----- So, my first question is ... How should that be done? What is the proper way to back a behemoth up a hill with a manual transmission? ----- Now there is an embarrassingly loud squeal that comes from (presumably) the clutch. The squeal changes tones each time I move the clutch pedal, so I feel pretty comfortable with that presumption. I was told it sounds like the pilot bearing. The guy at NAPA suggested that, since I got it that hot, I just get the whole clutch replacement kit and do it all in one fail swoop. But that's hundreds of dollars! I was able to haul everything home, and it went alright, but it did SEEM like not all of my power was getting to the back wheels when pulling up the hills .. but I might have just been paranoid After a couple days at home, I hauled the trailer back to storage (a pretty flat 5-minute drive), and it hauled like a champ (other than the horrible squealing). ----- My second question is ... What do I need to replace? Should I just bite the bullet and do the whole thing, or do I have decent odds of just needing to replace a bearing or two, or ??? ----- ~ Mo |

time to upgrade to a Single mass flywheel!
Im sure other guys will chime in here too. |
Single mass fly wheel and the 4low solution works well I've used it in other trucks but my reverse doesnt seem bad in my 6 speed but if your gonna tare into the clutch you might as well replace anything it's worth is so you don't have to dive into it again later
iPhone auto correcting incorrectly like a boss |
Thanks guys .. I think I was hoping to to get talked out of spending all that money, but I think you're right .. do it once and for all.
Thanks-a-bunch, ~ Mo |

Chapter 10 : 10- The Veterans Vendetta
| Rating: Mature | Chapter Reviews: 2 |
Background: Font color:
They were trapped. Turn around and tell me who you are. The gruff Italian voice repeated more firmly. Harry closed his eyes, he had no choice. Whether he gave into the Imperius Curses demands or fought against it, theyd know.
Piss off, Im trying to enjoy the flight! Harry mentally shouted at the voice and the blissful feeling he had experienced mere moments ago vanished along with the demanding voice.
Well, Harry thought as he felt the curses effects lift, that may have gotten their attention. But, although they now knew he, and most probably Enzo too for that matter, were wizards, they did not truly know of their identities thanks to their disguises. But what would Marianti and his friend do now? Start a fight on the plane? No, that would risk their own lives far too greatly.
But Harrys answer came in the form of a crumpled piece of paper being thrown at him from nowhere and landing on the empty seat next to him. Opening it up, he saw a short note written in Lawrences handwriting.
Suit boys tapping his ring.
Hes communicating with the others, Harry realized as his heart accelerated in its beats. He glanced around the plane hoping that an idea might jump out at him. But, amongst the oblivious Muggles who had settled in for their flight by reading, dozing in their seats or else taking advantage of the on-flight entertainment, none did. They were stuck, doomed to face whatever obstacles Marianti had in store for them head on when it suited him, probably when they landed. Harry closed his eyes trying to picture their capture. If they were to stand a chance, they would have to not be afraid to make the first move. Maybe take out Marianti and his partner when the rest of the Muggles had left before moving on to the others.
Harry continued to plan for the rest of the flight all while trying to keep his senses focussed on Marianti so as not to get blind-sighted. But it appeared that the Gold Hound was doing exactly the same; waiting for Harry to make the first move or maybe to try and escape with the disguised companion who sat away from him.
The announcement for their landing rang out and Harry felt his heart turn heavy as the whirring sound of the crafts wheels screeched out as they eventually hit the ground.
Take your time, Harry thought as the plane came to a halt. Wait until youre alone with them. But when the overly giddy stewardess opened the doors for the Muggles to pour out, Marianti and his long coated partner were quick to leave amongst the first of them.
Enzo looked back at Harry when they passed him. Harry raised his hand on his armrest to indicate him to stay put.
Harry looked out of the window and, as the Muggle crowd headed towards the airport, six cloaked people walked slowly towards the plane, Marianti and his partner waiting for them.
Excuse me, sirs. The stewardess said politely to Harry and Enzo. Is there a problem? But before either of them could answer, Lawrence threw of Harrys cloak, his wand pointed at her face.
Obliviate! He cried and she stumbled back as though pushed by an invisible hand.
Oh, She said, flustered. Im so sorry, gentlemen. Ill just go and But she had already started leaving for the front of the plane.
Damn it, now what? Lawrence cursed as he peered through the window.
We dont have much choice. Harry said, deep in thought.
Harry, Lawrence said approaching him, Harrys cloak still in hand. Take the cloak and get out of here. Find Boyson, stop the Confederation attack and end this.
Harry stared at both him and Enzo. Im not leaving either of you. He said defiantly. Now put the cloak back on. The longer they dont know who we are, the better.
Lawrence looked like he was about to retort, when the temperature suddenly rose dramatically as the noise from the planes engine died completely. Harry looked back out to see all eight of their hunters pointing their wands at the plane. Flagrante Curses. Harry murmured. Theyre getting tired of waiting for us. Harry pushed back Lawrences cloak covered hand and nodded. Begrudgingly, Lawrence nodded back and with a final nod to Enzo, he put the cloak back on and vanished.
Great, another layer. Thats what I need. Lawrences voice joked and Harry smiled despite himself. The heat was beginning to get too much and he felt sweat begin to trickle down his forehead and chest despite the Thermal Charm on his shirt and jacket.
The skin around his nostrils burning as he breathed in the hot air, Harry led the way towards the open exit, Enzo right beside him. Both of their wands drawn.
The entire runway was clear apart from the eight people looking up at them as they walked down the steps. So, what brings you to Norway, Mr Marianti squinted at Harry with his dark eyes. Oh, thats right, I never got your name. The tone in Mariantis voice changed threateningly as he said the last part of the sentence.
Dudley, Harry said defiantly as he reached the ground, though he kept his guard up, waiting for the first move or opportunity. Vernon Dudley. Me and my associate are here looking at a property at Staden Trollkarl. And what, may I ask, is the meaning of this reception? Marianti smiled as he surveyed every inch of Harrys face while the rest of his following kept their eyes on Harry and Enzos wands.
Well Mr Dudley, me and my associates would just like to escort you back to the Ministry to answer a few questions. And I must add, it is unadvised that you lie to Ministry officials. He wasnt being fooled. Somehow, he knew Harry was lying. Now, Marianti continued in a manner that made Harry grip his wand tightly, ready at a moments notice. I ask again, who are you?
Flashes of light flew everywhere. Marianti was the first to fall followed by the rest of his group who barely put up a fight against the surprise Apparition assault. As they fell, Harry and Enzo lowered their wands and saw their saviours standing behind the unconscious and the dead. There were ten of them. Three women and seven men, their wands all raised.
That is a question Id very much like to know too. Said a squat, balding man whose thick and scraggly black beard came down past his waist and whose jet black eyes scanned Harry and Enzo.
Eventually, Dagfinn Boyson walked slowly up to Harry, his wand at the ready as he stared curiously into Harrys eyes. Harry allowed him to draw closer and, getting on his tip-toes, Dagfinn used his wand to brush the long blond hair off of Harrys forehead to reveal the lightning bolt shaped scar, though Dagfinn showed no sign of a smile. You fool. He growled before allowing Harrys hair to fall back into place. Come, ve must leave now.
Lawrence threw off the cloak at this and the new arrivals all gasped as they aimed their wands. Wait! Harry cried. Hes with us. Dagfinn was the only one who didnt look surprised at Lawrences appearance but instead considered him for a moment.
Its good to know you had valuable backup. Now come, ve have much to discuss and little time to get back. And Dagfinn held out his hand for Harry to accept while Enzo and Lawrence held on to two others. As the crack of the groups Disapparition echoing throughout the empty runway left Harrys ears, he found himself and the others in the middle of a thick wood.
This vay. Dagfinn commanded and he began to lead them through trees that were so close to one another it blocked out most of the sunlight giving the soil beneath them the appearance of black sludge. After a while, Dagfinn raised his wand upwards and sent two sparks, one white and one red, into the air. A signal about their arrival, Harry thought.
Harry began to attempt to get some sort of information out of Dagfinn about where they were going, but a single glance from him told Harry that he refused to talk where they might be so easily overheard.
After a few more minutes walking in silence, they found themselves in front of a tall dark blue building that had an unpleasant look with its blacked out windows and spiked top. The building shape reminded Harry of a wedding cake in the way it looked. Block on top of bigger block on top of a bigger bottom block that itself was at least three times as wide as the British Ministry building.
Velcome to the Norvegian Ministry. Dagfinn announced as he opened the large mahogany front doors. Harry followed Dagfinn inside, the rest of his company behind him.
The entrance hall was larger than any Harry had ever seen before though this was probably due to the fact that it was completely empty except for a large number of portraits decorating the wall and a group of about forty people that contained a combination of men, women and children. At once, a tall, jet blacked hair man with thinly muscular arms, a large curved nose and thick bushy eyebrows broke away from the group and ran to meet them.
Dagfinn! Vat happened? Who-? Viktor Krum asked staring at Harry inquisitively. Dagfinn looked back at Harry and chuckled.
You may be rid of your disguise now. You are amongst friends.
Harry had completely forgotten that he and Enzo still had not returned their appearance back to normal. He smiled back at Dagfinn and a few minutes and a number of charms later, he and Enzo were completely themselves again. Viktor stared at Harry, wide eyed.
Vat Vat are you doing here?
Ve can discuss that after ve have had something to eat. Dagfinn announced, not looking at any of them as he pulled off his traveling cloak. I smell that you and Perty vere able to find some good food.
The large group sat in a circle on pillows and cushions on the floor as they tucked into their meal of a hot bowl of vegetable stew. It had been served by a short round man with a scruff of blond at the centre point of his head that Harry assumed to be Perty. Dagfinn hushed down the others that were talking excitedly about Harry around them.
Everything shall be answered in due course! Dagfinn bellowed as he indicated towards Harry. Now then, vhy dont you start vith vat exactly happened at your Ministry. Harry nodded before setting about explaining the events at Azkaban, the battle at the Ministry, the death of the Supreme Mugwump, his Ministry break in and, finally, their flight over. Harry came close to explaining the peace treaty Mosby was making with the Ministries outside of the Confederation, though a glance around at the uneasy faces of their company made him think that was a topic better left to a privet conversation.
Dagfinn looked distraught. Then things are vorse then I thought. He said, his half eaten stew sitting in front of him.
Also, theyve activated some sort of protocol. Operation Fang and Flame. No idea what it is though. Harry said, remembering the message Mosby had failed to hide from him.
Fang and Flame, Dagfinn contemplated. No, I have not heard of this either.
Harry felt down heartened. Well, whatever it is, I fear its got something to do with either the American Ministry or the Romanian Ministry. I heard that theyre both being targeted while I was in the British Ministry. He explained, remembering the details Marietta had unwillingly shared with him.
Romania? That is unsettling. Dagfinn said. Both the numbers and the skill of their Aurors are questionable at best. And vat of the Mugvump? Have they figured out its capabilities? Harry shook his head.
I dont know but the next Confederation meeting will be happening here and Mosby intends to trap all the Ministers.
Dagfinn nodded sadly. Yes, I know.
You knew? How? Lawrence said almost chocking on a carrot.
Let me explain my part. Dagfinn said and he took a large intake of breath.
On the eve of your Ministrys invasion, just as ve received vord of your downfall, Marius Yvault broke into our own Ministry. How, I dont know but he was able to release Akrahn Colby and Imperious my Head of Magical Law Enforcement and several Aurors before Apparating directly into my office. Harry gazed at Dagfinn. So Marius has an Amethyst Orb now too or had he borrowed someone elses.
After being outnumbered, outmatched and threatened to surrender, I had no choice but dive out of my own office vindow. I used a Cushioning Charm to land safely and ran straight to those I knew vould trust me.
He then began indicating those that sat around them and pointed to a sallow elderly witch with long dark brown hair and bright amber eyes that Harry wouldnt have been shocked to see glow in the dark. Agneta here and I trained as Aurors together and it vas her who took me in and helped me contact more people. Agnetas expression did not change though she bowed her head to Harry.
Viktor, who you know of course, vas von of the first to arrive and he came up vith the idea of hiding here. Its just a good thing the Durmstrang term is over or Id never be able to get hold of him. Viktor smiled at Dagfinn and Harry remembered the Daily Prophet article five years previous announcing Krums retirement from Quidditch and his recruitment as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Durmstrang.
And this, Dagfinn continued placing an arm around the thin, pale man next to him. Is the man you three owe your rescue to, Denril Orlond. He used to work as one of the Ministers Support staff and agreed to be our spy. He vas the von who told me of the Confederation meeting and ven he heard that vizards from England had been spotted entering the country and had had a capture ordered on them he contacted us and some of us went to collect you and others went to collect him and his family. We thought it unsafe to leave him vere he vas after passing on such valuable information.
Harry and Lawrence looked Denril directly in the eye. He had black bags under them and his boney left hand was clenched around the womans next to him. He had risked it all to save Harry even when he hadnt known of his identity. Thank you. Harry said and Lawrence repeated the thanks.
Dagfinn looked to Enzo expecting the same and scowled at his lack of appreciation for Denril.
He doesnt speak English, Dagfinn. Lawrence said, noticing the dissatisfaction. Italian only I think. But before Lawrence could pull the little blank book out they used to translate, Dagfinn turned to Enzo.
Ah. Mi scusi, Enzo. Dagfinn said and Lawrence looked up sharply before slowly tucking the small book back into his jacket. Enzo smiled broadly at Dagfinn as he continued to explain in Italian what Denril had done.
After being introduced to the rest of the group and a third thanks to Denril, the assembly began to disperse around the hall to let their dinner settle and relax leaving Harry, Dagfinn, Viktor, Lawrence, Enzo and Agneta left in the centre of the hall.
And you say he saw through your disguises?
Yeh, it was dead strange. Lawrence said. No matter what Harry said, he somehow knew he was lying.
Dagfinn ran his fingers through his long beard. I have heard of this Marianti He pondered when Enzos head bolted to look at him at the Gold Hounds name.
After nearly ten minutes of Enzo talking in Italian, Dagfinn then nodded his head in understanding. Vell there you go then. He said before turning to Lawrence. Apparently, Marianti has a very special knack for picking out lies. Something to do with picking out movements in facial muscles. Anyvay, it is vat earned him his position as a Gold Hound and vhy the Italian Ministry have trouble vith sending in undercover operatives to spy on the group.
Enzos hand clenched into a fist as Dagfinn translated.
Harry found himself only half listening. The movements of the hundreds of portraits that surrounded them made him felt uneasy and on edge.
They are the previous Ministers of the Norvegian Ministry. Dagfinn explained after noticing Harry gaze around the hall. The whole place vas abandoned ven the United Scandinavian Ministry vas formed. He then leaned in, a more serious look on his face. The old Svedish Ministry is vhere the Confederation meeting vill take place. Harry nodded.
Okay, do you know when?
Dagfinn shook his head. I have von more spy left in the Ministry. I am hoping he can find out but ve take it in turns to scout out the area just in case. He then dropped the volume of his voice slightly as he continued. They are recruiting. Aurors have started disappearing and are being replaced vith people who share Grindelvalds beliefs of Vizarding rule, people who opposed the Scandinavian union and Pure Blood supremacists. All of them being promised vat they vant in exchange for joining their army. Marius and Akrahns army. It is bad enough that the whole Vizarding population is now on lockdown.
Tyreece Molden, my old Head of Magical Law, claims it is for the communitys safety but ve know better. Even getting vord out to other countries is near impossible and I have no doubt that the stunt you pulled getting here vill have irked them into stopping Muggle transport as vell. He was breathing heavily now but Harry knew there was one more piece of information he needed.
Theres something else too, Dagfinn. Harry said mimicking Dagfinns volume. Mosby is offering peace treaties with the Ministries outside of the Confederation.
Dagfinn suddenly looked sickly pale. That, I did not know. He said softly. He sighed as he began stroking his long black beard again. Viktor looked angry and leaned in to join the discussion.
Ve should strike. Infiltrate the Ministry and take it the vay they did us. Dagfinn gave him a stern look.
Fool. He growled. Did you not listen to Harrys story? He broke into his own Ministry and vat did he do? Did he strike Mosby down in vengeance? No, he vas smart. He rescued his friends and got useful information about their plans. He did not start a fight in a building full of powerful enemies. Besides, no doubt Mosby has varned Marius and Akrahn that there could be more break-ins if they are not careful.
Viktor looked slightly down-heartened as his suggestion was shot down and he slumped back into his original position. Dagfinn gave a small chuckle as he glanced at Krum.
He does not truly know vat it is like. Dagfinn said quietly to Harry. None of them do apart from me and Agneta. Vat it is like to be at var. He then looked up at Harry as though he had just said something highly interesting. Tell me, how many scars did you get during the last var? He asked. Harry had not expected this question, though obliged all the same.
If you include this one, He said as he rubbed his forehead. Three in total.
Dagfinns eyebrows raised as Harry showed him the faded scarred writing on his right hand. I received this one when people thought I was lying about Voldemorts return and this one, He pulled down the neck of his shirt to reveal the Slytherin Locket shaped scar on his chest. When a Cursed locket tried attaching itself to me. Dagfinn nodded with the air of a man who was impressed.
None of them battle scars. He said. All the fighting youve been through and no scars to show for any of it.
Not visible ones, no. Harry said gravely and again, Dagfinn nodded before turning to Lawrence.
You, however, have at least von story to tell, I see. He said, indicating the large scar on Lawrences face. Vat happened?
Undercover job, Lawrence explained as he brushed the mark on his face with his fingertips. I used to only work on undercover ops until this happened. My cover got blown and I was surrounded within minutes. Wouldnt have gotten out of there if reinforcements hadnt arrived in time. Lawrences eyes seemed unfocussed as they watched the memory theyd lived through.
What about you, Dagfinn? Lawrence asked quickly when he came back to himself and Dagfinn gave another small chuckle as he began to roll up his sleeve.
Im afraid, I have not been so lucky as you, Harry. And when Dagfinn stopped rolling his sleeve, Harry saw a huge gnarling scar, as though a shark had bitten through it, above his elbow that went halfway around his arm. This vas my first von from ven Grindelvald tried to take Norvay. Harry stared at the scar.
You were involved with the war against Grindelwald?
Dagfinn nodded. Me and Agneta vere in our final year of Auror training ven the Ministry became desperate for fighters. The whole vorld vas in chaos, you cant imagine. Grinelvald had Imperioused the German Fuhrer to cause var for the Muggles so that they might be weak ven he planned on turning on them. Grindelvald himself then declared var on the Confederation and I vas an arrogant and eager young man who vanted to prove himself in combat. Agneta gave a small throaty laugh as he then gave Viktor a half glance. I quickly learned better. A small grin then crept onto his face as he looked at Harry and leaned in. I vas there ven He fell.
Harrys eyes widened. You were there when Dumbledore ? Dgafinn nodded.
I vas vith three others who had broken free of the fight going on to assist Dumbledore, though I can honestly say ve vere all useless. Standing aside, vatching. It vas both terrifying and yet exhilarating to see the two most powerful vizards of our time fight like that and ven Dumbledore dealt the final blow, vell, I can still remember the light headedness I felt.
What happened after Dumbledore won the dual? Harry asked curiously. Could Dagfinn have seen...?
Grindelvald vas laying barely conscious on the ground. Dumbledore approached him then they spoke for a short vhile. Then Dumbledore turned to pick up Grindelvalds vand and he stowed it away vithin his robes. None of us denied him of it though, ve vere all too preoccupied vith binding the great Gellert Grindelvald. Dagfinns face then turned grim. And to think even he could not defeat He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
There was a silence after he said this that seemed to make the temperature drop.
I begged Olan, the Minister of this place at the time, to send forces to England and Minister Ivar after him the second time round. The thought of a man of equal power to Dumbledore taking control petrified me more than I can say but some members of the Confederation still had memories of the var vith Grindelvald and vere not eager to rush into another von and after your Ministers constant reassurances that he had things under control, He gave a small shrug. Who could blame them for wanting to stay out of it? But ven rumours started that You Know Who vas in the country after he had von in Britain He gave a shudder. I cannot tell you the amount of fear that vas flooding through the Ministries.
He then slowly looked around the hall with its many portraits watching the group, some with pity on their faces. And now here ve are again. Fighting against an enemy just as dangerous as the last. As Dagfinn said this, the words from his first ever Defence Against the Dark Arts class with Severus Snape sank into memory.
You cut off one head, Harry said. And two more grow back, each as clever as the last.
Dagfinn clapped his hands together and pointed at Harry. I could not have put it better myself. Yes, exactly like that. But what do ve do about the other heads ven we decapitate this one? He asked and Harry got the feeling he was enjoying himself now.
We face them as vigorously as we faced this one. Harry answered, a smile creeping on his own face now. Or, He continued. We make sure we cut off all the heads and kill the damned beast once and for all.
Dagfinn gave a bark of a laugh. Vould that ve could. He said giving Harry a praising look. Now let us return to business and see vat veapons this God-Son of yours gave you to behead this monster.

"This was very flavorful, but with the honey mustard and orange juice, the outside of the roast burned quickly."
"Made these for a friend who just had a baby - they were fabulous! I substituted butter for Crisco, as we try to stay away from the solid shortening, but that is the only substitution I made. I do wonder about the trans fat listing under Nutrition Info, though, if using Crisco. I doubt the trans fat would be "0". Thanks for a good cookie recipe!"
"Absolutely perfect! Just like mom used to make. :) I'm glad I'm not pregnant, or I would have eaten half the pan, ha ha ha! Thanks for sharing."
"This is now my go-to recipe for taco seasoning. It is better than the packages you can buy in the store, and without all that extra stuff they add. :P I do decrease the cayenne and pepper flakes a bit, as I have 2 little ones in the house, but other than that, it is perfect! Thank you!"
"This came together quickly and was very good! I lowered the heat (~350) and baked a little longer, to ensure the crescent rolls would not get too dark but would get thoroughly baked as well. It was good for something different, and using ingredients I already had in the house. :)"
"This was a good creamy soup, like I was looking for, but it was definitely too salty. If I make it again, I will omit the salt or make my own cream soups and monitor the salt that way. The dumplings were perfect, though - exactly like I was looking for."
"Got this recipe from a blog I follow and these were fantastic! My two little ones loved them for breakfast the following morning, and my husband can't stop eating them. :) The recipe said it makes 30, but I actually got 3 dozen muffins. A definite keeper!"

>> Consuelo Castiglioni's vision for Fall 2012 looks something like this: polished, bright, and just a tad '60s — with a dash of Orientalism thrown in for good measure. Solid hues — tomato red, camel, grey, and baby blue — provide a high-contrast colorblock palette, while python, plaid, gold jacquard, and patent leather offer texture. Silhouettes are boxy, layered, and slightly round-shouldered on top, with knee-length skirts and creased ankle trousers lending a sense of straight-cut stability on bottom. "I was interested in architecture and controlled lines," Castiglioni explained.
Clean lines aside, this wouldn't be Marni without a fair amount of quirk. This season, it came in the form of oversize utility pockets, fold-over fur collars, opaque white tights, and gold-tipped platform Mary Janes.

Brazilian Testicle Mascot 'Mr. Balls' Promotes Cancer Awareness
Submitted by go213mph on Wed, 06/12/2013 - 07:50BRAZIL -- In order to raise awareness about testicular cancer, a Brazilian non profit organization has created a mascot named "Senhor Testiculo," which translated into English means "Mr. Balls." Shaped like a scrotum and donning a healthy head of hair, Mr. Balls "has done his job helping propel testicular cancer research into the media spotlight," according to the group's web site.
Brazil's Association of Personal Assistance for Cancer is the force behind Mr. Balls, and added that "both children and adults loved taking pictures with the mascot, a friendly snowman in the shape of [a] testicle."
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of Hispanic males affected by testicular cancer in recent years.

Amazon.com Review
It was these plutonium guinea pigs that set journalist Eileen Welsome on her decade-long search to expose this grisly chapter of America's atomic age, a feat that would earn her the Pulitzer Prize. In the impressively thorough and compelling Plutonium Files, Welsome recounts her work with a reporter's gift for description, characterizing early radiation researchers as "a curious blend of spook, scientist, and soldier," tirelessly interviewing survivors and their families, and providing social and political context for a complex and far-reaching scandal. Perhaps most damning is that not only did these cold-war experiments violate everything from the Hippocratic Oath to the Nuremberg Code, Welsome reveals, they were often ill-conceived, inconclusive, and repetitive--"they were not just immoral science, they were bad science." --Paul Hughes --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From The New England Journal of Medicine
This richly detailed, subtly nuanced history of government-engineered radiation experiments on unwitting Americans is based on the Pulitzer-prize-winning series Eileen Welsome wrote for the Albuquerque Tribune. Welsome's tenacious and resourceful detective work has unveiled the saga of a sordid, tragic, yet fascinating chapter in the history of American medical science. The book succeeds on many levels. It is a gripping expose of governmental exploitation and of medicine's moral failures in an era in which blind trust defined the normal relationship between physicians and patients. Between April 1945, scant months before the bombing of Hiroshima, and July 1947, the scientists of the Manhattan Project followed the construction of the atomic bomb with a chilling second act: medical experimentation on hundreds of unsuspecting Americans. Pioneers of nuclear science, such as J. Robert Oppenheimer, Louis Hempelmann, and Stafford Warren, masterminded the experiments from the headquarters they carved out of the New Mexico desert, in Los Alamos. Doctors working with the Manhattan Project initially injected plutonium into 18 men, women, and children. They acted without obtaining the consent of these people, informed or otherwise, and without therapeutic intent. Their mission was to study dispassionately the "fiendishly toxic" effects of plutonium on selected groups so that physician-scientists would know how best to protect American researchers, soldiers, and citizens exposed to atomic weapons.
But the radiation experiments did not end there, nor even with the end of World War II. The malignant flowering of curiosity about the effects of radiation on humans continued for three more decades. Until the 1970s, government scientists and physicians made use of unwitting Americans in order to discover the effects of exposure. Scientists already knew that radiation was dangerous. Newspaper accounts had graphically detailed the radiation poisoning of women in New Jersey who painted the dials of watches with radium, who died horribly while they were still young. The hands of Nobel laureate Marie Curie, the discoverer of radium, were chronically covered with radiation burns, and she died of radiation-induced leukemia in 1934. Many people who worked with x-rays died of various forms of leukemia.
But scientists wanted to know more. What types of physiologic damage were caused by specific levels of radiation? So, in hospitals, schools, and other institutions across the nation, they administered amounts of plutonium, x-rays, gamma rays, and radium that far exceeded established tolerance limits.
Each of the book's 47 chapters takes us on a tour of a subsidiary program, usually illustrated by the experiences of the research subjects. In one such program, soldiers were shipped to the desert for deliberate exposure to the detonation of nuclear bombs. In another program, unsuspecting patients in private and public hospitals -- from Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York, to Vanderbilt University Hospital's prenatal clinic in Nashville -- were injected with plutonium or otherwise used as subjects in experiments. The moribund ill, pregnant women and their fetuses, the poor, the middle class, the mentally ill, and children in institutions all risked attracting the fatal attention of the doctors of the Manhattan Project. The results, including data on the resultant cancers and even radioactive body parts, were forwarded to Los Alamos. Welsome not only tells each of these stories and more, but she also gives each of them a human face.
Such outrages strike our post-Tuskegee world as positively diabolical. But the medical Wunderkinder and politically savvy scientists who designed these experiments thought it necessary and logical to expand the boundaries of scientific medical knowledge beyond the new radioactive frontiers. Welsome presents their points of view without editorial comment and without apparent irony. Fleshing out the human drama around medical malfeasance has rarely been done so well. The coolly amoral scientist is a stock figure borrowed by journalism from science fiction, but like all stereotypes, such a depiction is one-dimensional and therefore false. As in Who Goes First? (New York: Random House, 1987), Lawrence Altman's study of self-experimentation by researchers, Welsome conveys the researchers' motivations and their capacity for moral anguish -- where it exists.
In doing so, she evokes the mores of a vanished age in which the physician-scientist was God. Sometimes, she finds unexpected complexity. She recounts how, as a young physician, Stafford Warren had been horrified to discover that the patients on whom he performed autopsies had died not of Hodgkin's disease but of the radiation treatments they had been given. He felt driven to quantify radiation's dangers. But unlike Altman's heroes, these scientists cagily declined to experiment on themselves. Researcher Wright Langham observed, "We considered doing such experiments at one time, but plutonium is considered to be sufficiently potentially dangerous to discourage our doing absorption experiments upon ourselves."
Then there is the horrifying reality that these experiments were taking place in the shadow of Nazi Germany; some of the scientists involved in the radiation experiments were the very men whose earlier experimental designs had tormented prisoners of concentration camps. Welsome describes Operation Paperclip, conducted under the auspices of the U.S. government. Paperclip imported Nazi scientists and supported their work, helping to confer, in the words of scientist Joseph G. Hamilton, "a little of the Buchenwald touch" on American medicine.
Welsome's achievement is a triumph of science, art, and morality. The book's copious detail will make it valuable to medical historians and medical ethicists. The book contains notes, listed by chapter; it also contains lists of major sources, including scientific articles, oral histories, videotapes, and government documents.
Journalists will find that The Plutonium Files is a perfect example of investigative medical reporting. Ethicists should be especially intrigued by the lack of consensus within the panel that was charged with investigating the experiments. Venerable giants in the field of medical-research ethics -- such as Jay Katz, Patricia King, and Ruth Macklin -- looked at the documents, and each saw very different issues. In The Plutonium Files, Welsome slashes the moral Gordian knot by unabashedly caring about the people described in its pages as individuals. She skillfully spins out their personal histories to create a richly colored tapestry that captures the full costs -- scientific, social, and personal -- of the radiation experiments. She also captures the moment when an important group of physician-scientists ceased to view themselves as healers and benefactors first, with disastrous results for their victims and for American medicine. Welsome dissects that sea change for the sake of history, without rancor but with a sense of ineffable loss.
This valuable work represents an elegy to lost ideals, lost health, and lost trust. One can only hope it will serve as a cautionary tale.

From the Inside Flap
In 1945, the seismic power of atomic energy was already well known to researchers, but the effects of radiation on human beings were not. Fearful that plutonium would cause a cancer epidemic among workers, Manhattan Project doctors embarked on a human experiment that was as chilling as it was closely guarded: the systematic injection of unsuspecting Americans with radioactive plutonium. In this shocking exposé, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Eileen Welsome reveals the unspeakable scientific trials that reduced thousands of American men, women, and even children to nameless specimens with silvery radioactive metal circulating in their veins. Spanning the 1930s to the 1990s, filled with hundreds of newly declassified documents and firsthand interviews, The Plutonium Files traces the behind-the-scenes story of an extraordinary fifty-year cover-up. It illuminates a shadowy chapter in this country's history and gives eloquent voice to the men and women who paid for our atomic energy discoveries with their health--and sometimes their lives.

About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
The accident occurred on August 1, 1944, a morning like any other in Los Alamos: hot, dry, the sky an indigo bowl over the sprawl of wooden buildings and barbed-wire fences that constituted the core of the Manhattan Project. At seven thousand feet, the New Mexico air smelled of sun, pines, a trace of frost. Occasionally the scent of dust spiraled up from the desert, where temperatures hovered around 100 degrees.
In twelve months, two atomic bombs would be dropped on Japan, and the secret work being carried out in the wooden buildings would be revealed to the world. On the morning of the accident, the atomic bomb had progressed far beyond mathematical theories but was still an unproven weapon. Plutonium, a silvery metal discovered about four years earlier, was one of the key elements that would transform the theories into a fireball.
In Room D-119, a cheerful young chemist named Don Mastick was standing over a sink chatting with his laboratory partner, Arthur Wahl, a chemist not much older than himself and one of the four scientists from the University of California at Berkeley who had discovered plutonium. Mastick was just twenty-three years old, a "bushy-tailed kid," as he would later describe himself, with short blond hair and an alert, friendly face. He had been one of Berkeley's most promising chemistry graduates and was just about to enlist in the Navy when J. Robert Oppenheimer approached him and asked if he would like to join the scientific team being assembled in Los Alamos, the most secret site in the vast network of laboratories and factories established to build the bomb.
Oppenheimer, a brilliant theoretical physicist, was already a legend on the Berkeley campus, and Mastick was thrilled at the idea of working with him. When he arrived in Los Alamos in the spring of 1943, Oppenheimer had designated him the lab's ultra microchemist. Working with amounts of plutonium that were too small to be seen with the naked eye, he studied the chemical reactions of the new material under a microscope. His glass test tubes were no bigger than sewing needles and his measuring instruments looked like a child's toys. Even his laboratory was small: a claustrophobic box at the end of a hallway, ten feet wide and twelve feet long.
In Mastick's hand that day was a small vial containing ten milligrams of plutonium--an amount so small it would have fit on the head of a pin. But it was far more plutonium than Los Alamos had had to work with only a year before. In fact, the radioactive material was still so scarce that a special crew had been assembled whose only job was to recover the material from accidents and completed experiments and then repurify it through chemical processes so it could be used again. The crew developed a flow chart to help separate plutonium from every other element in the Periodic Table. "They were prepared to tear up the floor and extract the plutonium, if necessary. They would even dissolve a bicycle. I mean, plutonium [was] so valuable that they went to great extremes to recover everything," physician Louis Hempelmann recalled decades later.
Inevitably some of the radioactive molecules seeped out into the laboratory, spread by a starched sleeve, the scuff of boots, even the dust that blew in from the desert. Nervous and preoccupied with their efforts to construct a workable bomb, Oppenheimer and his colleagues viewed the spreading contamination with consternation. Their concerns were twofold: They didn't want to lose any material, and they were just beginning to understand its potential hazards. Joseph Kennedy, another member of the Berkeley team who had discovered plutonium, acknowledged that it was "not pleasant" to think that unaccounted-for plutonium was floating around the lab. On the day of this particular accident--which would be the most serious of any thus far--it was not the lost plutonium that would be the problem. It was the plutonium in Mastick's vial.
A purplish-color liquid that gave off an eerie, animallike warmth when concentrated in larger amounts, the plutonium in the vial had undergone an unanticipated transformation overnight. Some of the liquid had been converted into gas and was pushing against the walls of the bottle. Other molecules were tunneling into the sides of the glass itself.
Unaware of the small bomb he was holding, Mastick snapped the slender neck of the vial. It made a small, popping sound in the quiet laboratory. Instantly the material spewed out of the bottle and onto the wall in front of him. Some of the solution ricocheted back into his mouth, flooding his lips and tongue with a metallic taste.
Not overly alarmed, Mastick replaced the vial in its wooden container. Then he trotted across the hard-packed ground of the technical area to knock on the door of Dr. Hempelmann's first-aid station. He had just swallowed a significant amount of the world's supply of plutonium. "I could taste the acid so I knew perfectly well I had a little bit of plutonium in my mouth," he said in an interview in 1995.
Louis Hempelmann's office was just a few minutes' walk from D Building, where Mastick worked. With its "deluge shower baths" and clothes-changing rooms, D Building was one of the most elaborately ventilated and costly structures at Los Alamos. Except for the forest of metal pipes protruding from the roof, it looked no different from the other green clapboard structures in the technical area.
Hempelmann was the medical doctor in charge of protecting technical personnel on the bomb project from "unusual hazards," and he reported directly to J. Robert Oppenheimer. With his long, narrow face and wide jaw, Hempelmann wasn't handsome, but there was something refined and pleasing about his appearance. He was the son and grandson of doctors and a fine physician in his own right, although he was known to grow queasy at the sight of blood. ("Louie did his first sternal puncture on me and he almost fainted. He's one of those doctors that can't stand the sight of blood--he should have been a psychologist or something," said Harold Agnew, one in a line of laboratory directors who succeeded Oppenheimer.)
Taking great pains to keep his long face expressionless, Hempelmann listened to Mastick's account of what had happened and then left the room for a moment in order to make a frantic phone call to Colonel Stafford Warren, the affable medical director of the Manhattan Project. Hempelmann often turned to Warren, who was nearly two decades older, for advice and reassurance. In his late forties when he was commissioned as an Army colonel, Warren was a big man, well over six feet tall, who exuded a breezy confidence. Unlike many of the scientists on the bomb project, who refused to join the armed forces and chafed under military control, Warren loved being in the Army. He liked the rough feel of his starched uniform, the silver eagles on his collar, the .45 revolver tucked in a holster on his belt.
Speaking on a secure telephone line from his office at the Manhattan Project's headquarters in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Warren tried to calm Hempelmann down. He thought about the accident for a moment and then suggested that the young doctor try using a mouthwash and expectorant to remove the plutonium from the chemist's mouth. Hempelmann hung up and hurried back to the examining room where he prepared two mixtures. The first was a sodium citrate solution that would chemically combine with the plutonium in Mastick's mouth to form a soluble liquid; the second was a bicarbonate rinse that would render the material insoluble again.
Mastick swished the solutions around in his mouth and then spit them into a beaker. The first mouthful contained almost one-half microgram of plutonium. A microgram of plutonium, which is a millionth of a gram, was considered in 1945 to be the maximum amount of plutonium that could be retained in the human body without causing harm. Eleven more times at fifteen-minute intervals Mastick swished the two solutions around in his mouth and then spit them into the beaker.
After the accident, Mastick's breath was so hot that he could stand six feet away and blow the needles on the radiation monitors off scale. His urine contained detectable plutonium for many years. In one of several interviews Mastick said that he was undoubtedly still excreting "a few atoms" of plutonium but had suffered no ill effects.
When the mouth washings finally were finished, Hempelmann ordered the young man to lie down on a cot. Then he pumped out his stomach several times. Carefully he transferred the stomach liquids into a tall beaker. The plutonium would have to be chemically separated from the organic matter in Mastick's stomach and mouth so it could be reused in future experiments. No scientist at the lab had ever undertaken such a task.
Hempelmann gave the young chemist a couple of breakfast waffles for his empty stomach and some Sippy alkaline powders to be taken during the day. Then he turned and handed him the four-liter beaker of murky liquid.
Go, he said, retrieve the plutonium.
Mastick returned to his lab with the beaker and opened his textbooks. It took a "little rapid-fire research," as he put it, to figure out how to separate the plutonium from the organic matter. But he didn't flinch from the task, despite the ordeal he had just been through. "Since I was the plutonium chemist at that point, I was the logical choice to recover it." From Mastick's perspective, the mood in which all these events took place was calm, deliberate, and "almost humorous." But other people did not feel nearly so relaxed about what had occurred.
The day after the accident, Hempelmann sat down and wrote Stafford Warren a thank-you note. "I was sorry to bother you but was anxious to have your help and moral support. In retrospect, I think that the chances of the fellow's having swallowed a dangerous amount of material are slight." Hempelmann told Warren that he...
