We demonstrate that the HaloTag® Protein Reporter can be fused to a truncated human integrin β1 subunit (trβ1IntHT2™) at the amino terminus for extracellular localization. We used a non-permeable green fluorophore to distinguish the cell surface-expressed pool for studying protein internalization and a separate permeable red fluorophore to distinguish the internal pool for studying protein trafficking. With both spatial and temporal separation of protein pools in live cells, we can simultaneously show that the trβ1IntHT2™ fusion protein is properly trafficked to and from the plasma membrane. In addition, labeling the trβ1IntHT2™ protein in live cells followed by fixation and immunocytochemistry for different subcellular markers shows that the fusion protein distributes normally with protein trafficking compartments (e.g., ER and golgi) and protein recycling machinery (e.g., endosomes) and also shows that the fusion protein retains some expected protein co-localizations.
We further show that the HaloTag® Protein and fusion proteins can be expressed in human neural progenitor cells and can be labeled with different fluorophores. The HaloTag® Protein is well tolerated and expressed in the expected pattern by human neural progenitor cells. These results indicate that the HaloTag® Technology is a useful tool for understanding protein trafficking, recycling, and subcellular distribution in an array of mammalian cells, including human neural progenitor cells.

I don't think it had much to do with anything. It's only been, what, a year or so since it released?

Your Highness was absolute *censored*. But no, it's been a year and a bit since it came out (here, anyway). I was in a job I had last year when it came out.
I think she does a lot of voice acting too, and judging by her Wikipedia page (Ugh, I feel like some gossip-craving wastrel) she had a child in the middle of last year so it's only natural for her to perhaps step back a little.

No. When I wrote *censored*, I meant I censored my post because the barrage of expletives I would have used to describe that utter waste of time would have got me banned.

When I think of the madness and decline that has gone on under the guise of cleaning up amurica after the ruination caused by Janet Jackson I am dumbstruck. I have a hard enough time believing anyone cared that it happened, or who did it, or that it happened at all. The fact that it caused the hurricane of silliness that it did astounds me.
KSH, your point about Natalie Portman is about as pointy as a teabag in the garbage. She did those movies, and then she got married and had kids. At some point she's going to come back with critical and commercial success powering her career like rocket fuel. Anyways, I'm disappointed to come back to the internet and read the inane prattle out of you two.
People always talk about the good old days before all this wanton sex and violence. I've seen those movies and while they wouldn't necessarily be improved by naked women they wouldn't be harmed by it either.

It often seems to be the case that actresses will do a graphic sex scene in a movie, then announce they are taking off for a while to be a mom. Could it be, that, having had the uncomfortable experience of being displayed naked like a zoo animal, and desire to teach their daughters how to avoid the same temptation? And their young boys how to avoid becoming consumers of media exploiting females who are willing to be exploited?
I saw, "Your Highness". After, "Black Swan" (which I watched only because Portman and Kunis were in it), I should have first realized how low her self-esteem had sunk.

So J. Jackson bared "it"...
In California (surprised?), people asserting their right to appear nude in public had to be told to sit on a towel while dining in restaurants. This reveals the cleanliness and character of such people. Hey, if that nude dude can let it all hang out in the restaurant in which I'm eating, then why can't I bring my Saint Bernard in as my dining companion?
Let's just face it, folks...the human body, with all it's gristle, dimples, moles, etc., was meant to be covered in public. Just take a look at those celebrity beach-bod issues at your local grocery checkout.

As far as Ms. Portman goes I'm sure she doesn't really care about my assessment of her career one way or the other. My main point was about how hollywood chews up and spits out child stars. I mentioned Portman because she seems to have lost some of her glamour the last couple years but as you pointed out perhaps thats merely due to her domestic schedule.
As for sex, wanton or not, I'm pretty sure its always been here.
I think the issue is more the marketing of sex as entertainment for mass comsumption.

What you saw was "filth", what women may have seen is a protest against the Western 'need' to cover up the female form.

I'm a single father and find the number of programs, support groups and even businesses that cater to single mothers is interesting compared to how little support there is for single fathers. I also think it is interesting how aggressively our society follows an "end justifies the means" philosophy regarding mens rights justified by the idea of "protecting women and children".
I'm all for protecting women and children, I have teenage daughters. But there is a knee-jerk activist mentality here that is out of proportion and imho does more harm than good removing children from the influence and protection of their natural fathers.
Do you realize based upon nothing more than an accusation a man can be put in jail, removed from his house, have his income and property confiscated and be denied access to his children? Again, this is in American and based upon nothing more than an unsubstantiated accusation.
Family courts are the only courts that have the authority to bypass due process and it happens routinely.
There are a few groups out there like Fathers 4 Justice who take on these types of issues pertaining to mens rights.

I'm not of the belief that men have it worse than women in most cases, as they don't. I do, however, fully agree that there are cases and situations - particularly involving children - where men do get the short end of the stick. But those situations? They're not as prolific or embedded into society as a lot of the ways women are oppressed.
Put it this way. Women are told day-in and day-out that they have to look a certain way, dress a certain way, behave a certain way. If they're raped and/or abused they're often not taken seriously (this is also one of the few times men have it even worse than women, sadly). Women often find it harder to progress though companies due to a very male-oriented culture, and in some jobs they're not taken seriously.
I don't think we're at the level it was in the past, but to suggest we have an equal society or one that's becoming unfair in the other direction is kinda, um... missing a lot of what's going on.

The USA has laws...
I never used the word, "filth". But the human body does appear to be an ungainly thing when nude and in motion, such as a woman running in a bikini, or a nude guy playing volleyball (no pun intended) on the beach. With all that flopping around, he could sustain a serious injury. That's why we have jock-straps (Er, CLOTHES, in other words...) Animals, such as those of the canine family, are sleek and designed to be "nude". Their very symmetry allows them to dart through thick underbrush, without the worry of having any part of their body sustaining injury, etc. A dog running through the woods is like an envelope slipping through the slot of your mailbox. However, a HUMAN trying to slip through the woods is like a postPERSON trying to cram an envelope into a mailbox slot, held FLAT against it. It just wouldn't happen, now would it. BECAUSE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO!

How to Select
How to Shop for Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is one of the most efficient ways to highlight the most attractive features of your landscape and house, hide the less appealing ones, illuminate paths and entryways and create a sense of security and warmth. Low-voltage lights are quite a popular choice for outdoor illumination since they are easy to install, adaptable, safe to use and employ little power. It is also nice to know that cables of low-voltage fixtures do not pose the danger of electric shock and you do not need a permit to install them.
The first thing you need to do is to determine the purpose served by the low voltage outdoor lighting fixture. Do you need it to illuminate a path, steps or entryway, accent a statue or trees or light a pond or fountain? Underwater fixtures need to be lightweight, compact, rugged, and resistant to high pressures, while step lights should be bright enough to illuminate the top and bottom of stairs.
The next thing to decide on is the output wattage of the device. The brightness of low-voltage outdoor lights varies from 4 to 50 watts, with common choices ranging from 18 to 24 watts. The brightness of a bulb will be rather defined by its intended use: illuminating the steps may require a brighter fixture than artfully lighting a group of trees. The choice of the transformer to step down the voltage also depends on the wattage of bulbs: to determine its size, you need to multiply the wattage by the number of bulb sockets.
Once you have made up your mind about the functional qualities of your outdoor low-voltage lighting, consider its decorative possibilities. Landscape lights come in aluminum, cast metal, brass and wood. A verde or black finish will blend well with the surrounding garden. You can also choose the finish to suit the coloring of your house. Styles may vary from minimalist to aesthetically rich. Path lights can be visible or hidden, ranging from brass lanterns to tulip-shaped units, while outdoor directional spotlights pointed to individual trees or art works may include only bulbs.
The bulbs used for low voltage outdoor lighting are typically halogen lamps with a precision reflector and compact filament, but low-voltage LED and incandescent lamps rated for 12V operation are also employed. Halogen and LED units are more efficient, but incandescent bulbs provide more traditional illumination with a warm orange cast.
After selecting the outdoor light and an appropriate transformer, you can immediately proceed to installing the system because, unlike with other outdoor projects, the low-voltage installation does not require having expertise in electrical work.

Listen Through Walls Dual Microphones; with Excellent Sensitivity Contact Wall Microphone
The next generation of listen through wall devices now use a 'flat-head' contact microphone as opposed to a 'pin-head' microphone thus eliminating accidental breakages of the pin when scraped against a wall. This professional device pushes listening through solid brick walls to another level by using a DOUBLE highly sensitive contact wall microphone to provide a truly superior audio listening experience.
The unit is constructed in a heavy duty stainless chrome, and the sensitive wall microphone will pick up audio sounds and conversations through solid walls up to 12 inches thick - which can also be captured onto a standard voice recorder by use of the devices recording socket. This is ideal for gathering noise evidence or anti-social activity behind closed doors.
Additionally, the device is supplied with a comfortable neck strap which saves holding the amplifier in your hand for potentially long intervals.
Simply wear the amplifier around your neck and place the double contact wall microphone against any wall surface, then gently turn the volume control to best suit your ears sensitivity. The listen through walls device converts inaudible vibrations into clear audio sounds that can be listened through the supplied earphones.
Heavy-duty chrome design
Built to last using the finest materials, this professional listen through wall sets a new benchmark in listening devices.
Dual contact wall microphone
fantastic latest model uses not one but TWO highly sensitive
flat-head wall microphones to offer a true stereo listening experience.

Great look and fit but...
I love the look of this material and it was fairly easy to put on, but after only a day I noticed how much stray fuzzies like to cling to the velvety material. It was a little disappointing to realize that I will have to take a lint roller to my couch weekly just to keep it looking nice, but it's a small price to pay for a couch that now looks brand new. It's a good thing my dogs don't shed!

Patriots hoping for return of two key players
Monday, December 10, 2012
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — With six straight victories and their fourth consecutive AFC East title already wrapped up, the New England Patriots are playing perhaps their best football of the season.
"Just got out there a little bit this week and tried to move around. We'll see where it goes from today," said Mankins, who injured his ankle in the second half of New England's victory over Buffalo on Nov. 11 and has missed the last three games. "We were just trying to do as much as we can. I can't do everything yet, so I guess we might find out Monday."
Mankins, a four-time Pro Bowl player, has missed five games this season with various ailments, the second-most of his eight-year career.
Watt's sensational season also has overshadowed the strong play of defensive end Antonio Smith, who has five sacks of his own, along with Watt forming one of the most feared pass rushes in the league.
"They have a great offensive line, they have great wide receivers and they're quarterback's good," Jones said. "Our job is just to bottle those guys up and eliminate the big play."
"It's been tough," he added. "But it is what it is. You learn to deal with it. I've been pretty fortunate most of my career. I guess it happens to everyone sooner or later."?

Adopt a SoldierSubmitted by archer on Mon, 09/10/2007 - 20:03
This is a non profit organisation that helps soldiers. Really nice justure. We should consider this. Send some packages to them with your Ron Paul Literature. They are bound to tell their families back home at least. If not...a very worthy cause for fellow defenders of the Constitution.

400-year-old Bible returns to Elizabeth
Wednesday, February 13, 2013 5:45 PM
A Bible predating the King James versions by 12 years is at the First Presbyterian Church in Elizabeth. The 1599 Bible belonged to the Englishman John Ogden, one of the founders of Elizabethtown. It is in "remarkable" shape for a book that old but still needs as much as $15k of work to be displayed properly. Rev. Bob Higgs gives The Star-Ledger a look at the Bible on Wednesday, February 6, 2013, at First Presbyterian in Elizabeth, NJ. (Frances Micklow/The Star-Ledger)

Customer Reviews for Energy Efficient Office Blackout 3/4" Pleat Cellular / Honeycomb Window Shades
"Excellent Replacement"
By MaggieLue from San Antonio, TX
Replaced another brand of blackout, top-down blinds with these - the two sets of blinds were about the same price, but I can't believe the difference in quality! My new blinds are very noticeably better made, and of much, much better quality materials. Additionally, the old blinds took almost two hours, and a lot of frustration to install - my Blinds Galore set went up easily and quickly in less than 10 mints.View this product
"Great Warranty Service"
By customer from Denver, CO
I bought this as a cordless blind 2 years ago. One of the interior cords frayed through in the headrail and broke. I called Blindsgalore and explained the problem. They got the manufacturer on the phone who decided they would replace the blind under warranty. We received the replacement blind a couple of weeks later as promised. We were quite pleased with the entire experience.View this product

A recurrent theme in the blog comments is loss. Some people are dealing with the loss of loved ones or the loss of relationships. Others deal with the loss of a dream. What do these have in common?
Philosophers, theologians and scientists have struggled with these issues for a thousand years. As palliative care and oncology specialists, my colleagues and I witness the loss of health and the loss of vitality every day. One reader commented that things never get back to "normal" after a loss, and that we are in a state of constant change and recalibration.
As we reflect on our lives, it's clear that we do have resilience. We can bounce back from adversity. If we couldn't, we wouldn't be here.
So we must accept that life is not fair. Bad things do happen to good people. But we still need to take care of ourselves and recognize that we are not alone. There are others to hold our hands and walk with us as we stumble through the darkest days.
I'm reminded of a scene from a movie. It took place in a grimy pub in Liverpool, England, in the early part of the 1800s. In one corner of the pub were several dozen seamen who were morose, grumbling at the thought of another voyage. On the other side of the pub were the captain and his officers who were having a wonderful evening together, seemingly indifferent to the threats and the dangers that lay ahead. So what was the difference?
The difference is simply that the officers accepted the element of uncertainly. They recognized that although they had no control over the weather or the wind, they could control their attitude.
So it is with all of us. When faced with adversity, we can whine and wallow in our misfortune. Or we can be grateful for what we have and try to find peace and serenity even in the face of uncertainty.

Sigh - more positive thinking psychbabble. The example given, as pointed out in other comments, is flawed - the higher status captain et al had much better living conditions, even if they faced some of the same risks as their lowly crew.
CONTEXT, people, context. And personal history. That's what determines how - or IF - someone can persevere in uncertain circumstances. A person can weather only so many storms - and there aren't always friends or support to hold you up. Often, when you're dealing with loss, grief, trauma, "friends" disappear.
This has been my experience for decades, snd my ability to handle stress and loss has steadily eroded, although like other commenters, when I was younger and had more hope and options, I had considerable resilience. That rubber band snapped a long time ago.
Compare POV of Martin Seligman (ugh) vs Barbara Held for professional insights, not just mine.
If you can't avoid a stressful situation, try to alter it. check out what you can do to avoid things so the problem doesn't present in the future. this involves changing the way you communicate and operate in your daily life.
Ruth in the comments has touched on a rather perceptive point, namely, that socio-economic status plays a major role in health, and particularly in stress levels. There is a fascinating study of British civil servants that bears out this conclusion (Search terms: Whitehall Study). On the other hand, there is something to be said for taking a somewhat stoic stance (Search term, e.g., Epictetus), and focusing on cultivating happiness and contentment regardless of external circumstance. Interestingly enough, the Roman philosopher Epictetus was himself of a lowly social caste, having been born a slave, and a handicapped one at that. Yet the emperor Marcus Aurelius came to admire and take instruction from the written teachings of Epictetus. Is there a relevant lesson here? Life is not fair or certain for anybody--that's just reality--as both Epictetus and Aurelius knew. But even if control is ultimately an illusion, it's a necessary one for humans to thrive. (Search terms: Langer Nursing Home Study). So it's worth taking control of the little things in terms of improving life and outlook. Epictetus did not wallow in his lowly station in life, but sought to teach others how to confront life with honesty and courage. While most of us can't fully embrace the stoic ideal or instanteously increase our socioeconomic status, we can learn skills to proactively cope with life's uncertainty by controlling the things we can (in a healthy way, of course). That involves a choice.
I thought that the example used by you is not convincing at all. The captain and the officers were in a different social class, they probably were better paid and received more respect from others. They also had more freedom to make decisions at work as compared to the simple seamen, who probably felt that they were exploited.Please, do not underestimate the intelligence of your readers!
It's not the age or economic conditions; it's the attitude.
Feme, you are so right. When one is young and has a future, there is always hope that things will change, and improve someday. When we are older and lose our financial security, our health, our spouses, our friends, we don't have many options, if any, to pick up the pieces, and it can be a very lonely and terrifying time. In my youth I always loved the poems Desiderata and Serenity, but it is very difficult to put those ideas into practice, especially, when we are facing the reality of our death, that most of our time is now behind us. I have often heard the phrase "where there is life, there is hope" and on the surface I think, well, that is what they tell you when there is absolutely nothing positive to be said, however, I am slowly beginning to understand the truth in this statement. we can still see the beauty around us, if we live in the moment. When I find myself in a panic, it does help to open the window and listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, the rain on the roof, the birds singing (although even these things can be taken away from us as our senses begin to deteriorate)), but we need to focus on those things we can appreciate. We still need to connect with people, even if it is just a smile to a stranger. Perhaps we can touch their lives in a positive way, which means we are still contributing to this world. Life is unfair and cruel. If we choose to not let it destroy us, we can still feel true happiness and purpose.
Feme,I get it and you are right.We acted responsibly and expected to have the dignity that goes along with that mind set. Losing that dignity robs us of our very soul.
Try being old with many problems and then facing a very uncertain future because of the government. We can deal with our own problems but when our choice is taken away it's very difficult to cope. We think we have planned financially for our future but thanks to politics we no longer can certain of anything -- but death.

Midwest Living Review
Downtown Traverse City has experienced many firsts in the past decade: a film festival, a culinary festival, a sushi restaurant and now Middle Eastern cuisine. Jordan native Nabiel Musleh moved his restaurant Zakey, which means "delicious" in Arabic, from the outskirts of town to Front Street in 2010. He taught himself to make his mother's recipes because, he says, he can't drive to the Middle Eastern community in Dearborn, Michigan, every time he wants Arabic food.Directly across Front Street from the Cherry Republic store, Zakey fills an intimate space with no more than 10 tables and an open kitchen behind the dining room. Customers can watch Nabiel grill his shish kabobs, smell the lamb roasting, and watch a live belly dancer gyrate and slither to traditional Middle Eastern music on Saturday nights -- all while Arabic MTV plays in a small television in the corner. Despite this, the ambience seemed less than authentic -- the decor covering the walls is supplied by Jordan's tourism agency.Zakey's meats are the highlight of the menu. Unless you're already an expert on Middle Eastern cuisine, try the combination platter: three skewers (one shish kafta, one shish tawool and one shish kabob: $14.99) on a bed of pita and garnished with grilled onions and tomatoes. All entrees include your choice of two sides: cucumber yogurt salad, Arabic salad, fattoush, tabbouleh or sauteed vegetables.The kabobs were excellent, as were the tabbouleh and fattoush salads that arrived with them. Our appetizers, though -- spinach pie, baba ghanoush and kibbeh -- could have used more spices. The baklava was good, and the rice pudding hit the spot. While Zakey may receive a lower grade when compared to Arabic eateries in Detroit and Chicago, this place is a welcome addition to Traverse City.

Rhubarb Crumb Cake
I came across this recipe for a rhubarb crumb cake a while ago. Rhubarb is something that I had been wanting to use more and a cake sounded like a great way to do it. I bookmarked the recipe to save for when rhubarb was in season and now that it was I had the chance to make it. The ingredient list for this recipe is a bit long but the cake comes together easily. The rhubarb crumb cake was really good! The cake was nice and soft and moist and the crumbs were light and sweet. Rhubarb is a bit tart and it perfectly balanced the sweetness of the crumb topping. I admit, I have been eating this cake for breakfast, along with the rhubarb fool. I have been enjoying the rhubarb so far this year and I look forward to using it some more.
1 pound rhubarb (trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups cake flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup cake flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons softened butter (cut into 8 pieces)
1. Toss the rhubarb with the sugar, cornstarch and ginger to coat.
2. Mix the sour cream, egg, egg yolk and vanilla in a large bowl.
3. Mix the flour, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large bowl.
4. Mix the butter into the flour mixture.
5. Mix the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture 1/3 at a time mixing in between.
6. Pour all but 1/2 cup of the batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish followed by the rhubarb mixture and the remaining batter.
7. Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
8. Break the topping into big crumbs with your hands and sprinkle onto the cake.
9. Bake in a preheated 325F oven until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.

Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars
Get in my belly!
Sorry neighbors. Yes, that was me yelling and making rude demands.
Do you see what I'm dealing with?
For the Crust:
1 pkg graham crackers
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Filling:
12 ounces (about 1 cup) dulce de leche*
2 (8 oz.) pkgs cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1 Tbsp chocolate liqueur or heavy cream
1. Make the Crust. Position an oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 325F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Spray parchment paper with non-stick spray.
2. Finally grind the graham crackers with the sugar in a food processor. With the motor running, add the butter, blending until combined. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of baking pan. Bake 10 minutes, then place on a cooling rack to cool for 5 minutes.
3. Make the Filling. Spread the dulce de leche evenly over the graham crust, then place pan in refrigerator while you prepare the cream cheese layer.
4. Beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and continue to beat on medium-high for another 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Beat in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the dulce de leche layer and spread evenly, and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center only slightly jiggles. Remove from the oven and cool completely-about 2 hours.
6. Glaze the cake. Heat the chocolate, butter, liqueur and light corn syrup in a double boiler or in a microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Cool for about 10 minutes. Pour the glaze over the cheesecake, tilting the pan to ensure the top is coated evenly. Chill for several hours-or at least 30 minutes before serving.
7. Lift the cheesecake from the pan using the parchment handles and slice into squares using a sharp knife, wiping it clean after each cut. **
*You can generally find Dulce de Leche near the sweetened condensed milk or in the international isle at most grocery stores.
**Let the pan sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before you lift the bars out and cut them. The chocolate glaze will crack if you cut them while they are still very cold. Learn from me, my friends. :)

What size package of Graham Crackers do you mean? I would love to try and make these but will be using a gluten free cracker so i'll have to weigh them...
Many Thanks - they look amazing!
- August 26, 2011 at 6:26 AM
- Brandy K said...
What a great question! :) I had to go weigh a package because it didn't say on the box. It weighed 4 oz. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
- August 26, 2011 at 8:50 AM
I made this tonight but I had an issue with the graham cracker crust and the dulce de leche. When I went to spread the dulce de leche it stuck to the crust and would pull up the crust as I was spreading. How do you get it to glide over the top without sticking to the crust? I even warmed it so it was thinner but still stuck. Any secrets? Thanks, cant wait to eat them!!
- December 18, 2011 at 6:30 PM
- Brandy K said...
Hi Tiffany! Sorry you had an issue spreading the dulce de leche over the crust. I sometimes have that problem too. I've found that it helps to dollop the dulce de leche all over the crust and then spread it really gently. sort of like connect the dots...but with dulce de leche. Does that make sense? I hope that helps. :)
- December 18, 2011 at 7:16 PM
Tried these but I've had one problem after another. First I had the same problem with the dulce de leche sticking. I managed to get through that after starting over again and heating the dulce de leche in the microwave to get it thinner. Now my cheesecake layer is puffed way up over the sides of my pan and badly cracked. Oh well, I'm sure they'll taste great :)
- December 23, 2011 at 5:47 PM
So... Im thinking about adding the dulche de leche layer to the cookie dough cheesecake bar recipe.. ohhhhyyyeahhh...!!!

I'm making this now! Only since I couldn't find dulce de leche and didn't want to make it and the caramel my grocery store had was crappy I'm making it with nutela! I'm excited to see how it turns out!
- June 2, 2012 at 4:02 PM
- Callie Smith said...
I had the same problem some of the other people had with the dulce de leche not spreading. Finally I got so frustrated with it that I just stirred the dulce de leche into the graham cracker crust. It still tasted good, but stuck to the lining in the pan because it was so sticky from the dulce de leche.
- June 25, 2012 at 9:21 PM
- romy said...
If you can find dulce de leche you can make it by boiling a sweetened condensed milk can, but then you will have to take in account the time till the can gets cold and it's ready to be open. Dulche de leche dark color cames from the bicarbonate of soda, so this condensed may look a little pale. Also, when the dulce de leche is too sticky you can add some drops of milk and stir. Here is a recipe for homemade dulce de leche:

Hi Sofi! I just don't think these bars will freeze well. Since you made them early, maybe give it a try. Freeze them for a day or two and see how it goes. They might be just fine after freezing. Let me know!

Do you think it will hold in the fridge for a week??

For spreading the dulce de leche I used a butter knife after placing it in big dullops all over. Moving very gently and turning the pan to spread it from different sides worked great

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
CEO Buchko's time to shine has arrived
Bomber boss needs to make good on plan to lure Forde to Winnipeg
TORONTO -- Garth Buchko can sell. Just ask anyone who advertised on radio in Winnipeg over the last 25 years. They likely bought a commercial that Buchko had a hand in selling. But flipping 30-second spots on a ratings giant isn't nearly the challenge Buchko faces right now.
The president and CEO of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers has a three-way selling job on his hands in the recruitment and hiring of a new assistant GM. He needs to sell the candidate he wants on the Bombers, GM Joe Mack on a succession plan and the club's board members on the budget.
The first-year boss will work a lot of rooms this week at the Grey Cup. But there will be one sitdown of more importance than the rest. Whether it be in a hotel room, restaurant or bar, when Buchko pulls up a chair and unloads his spiel on TSN analyst Duane Forde, it will be the key pitch of his sports executive career to date.
Buchko needs to convince the next assistant GM of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers that he isn't making a career mistake.
Lately, taking a job with the Bombers has been akin to spilling red wine on your resumé. It leaves a stain than can both be seen and smelled. And it's difficult to remove.
Buchko, if he is to get his way, must also sell his board and his current GM on his preferred candidate. It's no secret Buchko wants Forde.
There are other capable candidates. But none has the mix of pedigree, profile and qualifications Forde brings to the table.
The Bombers, after a disastrous winter off the field followed by a worse season on it, need a win to get this off-season started right.
Hiring special teams co-ordinator Kyle Walters, who is the choice of GM Joe Mack, has its merits but it won't fly with fans. It will appear as another move in the same old tradition that has come to be the Bomber way. A bland hire done on the cheap.
No offence to Mr. Walters, who by all accounts is a hard worker and nice guy, but he doesn't have the cachet of Forde.
Buchko wants more. He wants a big personality to shine on a now very competitive sports marketplace in Winnipeg. Jets coach Claude Noel is a huge draw in this town. Buchko is seeking a similar presence. Mack doesn't provide it and new head coach Tim Burke prefers to work in a hoodie and sweats.
Forde is more than just a celebrity. He's quite possibly the most knowledgable person when it comes to Canadian-born football talent. He's the Mel Kyper of the CFL.
Forde has spent the better part of a decade building the reputation that has him in consideration for the GM job in Ottawa and front office jobs in Hamilton and Winnipeg. He was a standout player with the University of Western Ontario Mustangs and had solid, workmanlike playing career in the CFL.
Smart, ethical and likeable, there's little downside to Forde and the upside is without a ceiling.
But this hire is problematic.
Forde and his wife Sheri have careers with TSN. Those jobs don't fall out of trees. They are hard won positions and not easily tossed aside.
Bringing Forde to Winnipeg will require as much commitment -- in terms of money, term and potential for advancement -- from the Bombers as the candidate. The Fordes are not leaving their home in Ontario and making career adjustments on a flyer.
They'll need security and a future in our city to make this move.
This is where Buchko must also get Mack and the board onside.
Mack must agree to work with Forde and to eventually make room for him at the top of the organizational chart.
Opening the cage door and pitting the two against one another in a power struggle would lead to disaster. Buchko can bring Forde to Mack but the GM must make the hire and not just sign off on it. Mack has to buy into the merits of a succession plan. Without Mack's cooperation -- Forde won't take the job. It's not his style.
The board, some of whom would prefer to hire former player Doug Brown, will need to provide Buchko with the budget to bring in a candidate of Forde's ilk. It will be expensive. Likely north of $200,000 and for at least three years. Forde will have to assume some risk, too. Nothing is guaranteed but he's going to want some security.
The Bombers, as they are currently constructed, are a question mark on the field. They have some pieces but they have huge holes as well with no answer at the quarterback position. Buchko doesn't have the luxury of selling a winning franchise. He's putting a rebuild on the market and selling a half-renovated house is near impossible in the real estate game.
Especially to a buyer like Forde, who has options.
The advantage for Buchko is Forde wants in the game. He wants to be a GM and run his own team some day. The opportunities for such work are rare. No one knows whether Forde will have other chances. Sooner or later he'll have to jump and the Bombers might present his best opportunity.
There appears to be a match to be made. Now Buchko must close the deal.
If the Bombers don't get Forde it's a failure. If they get him it will be a coup. A major win for Buchko, the organization and the community.
Turn on the charm, Garth.

You never know how bad off you are until someone points it out. The new plan by President Obama to push for a federal minimum wage of $9 an hour has opened up the floodgates of opinion.
I was delighted to be outside while my friends were inside doing things like washing dishes in restaurants. Plus the big bonus was the couple that owned the place fed me lunch.
This compares to the present federal minimum wage, which is $7.25 an hour. The federal limit does not pertain to those who also receive tips, such as food servers, car wash attendants, etc.
I was reminded of just this recently while reading about a very expensive plan to help Haiti by creating a business park in the countryside of that poor impoverished Caribbean island nation. It has begun to attract international companies who are setting up factories to churn out clothing and other things for the U.S. market while providing jobs for thousands of Haitians.
At times we all feel trapped by our circumstances. But we are not an island and we are protected by a system that ensures employers and employees can make their own choices. Or at least most of their own choices.
