Can I regrigerate whole cream powered milk?
Hello, I've been lurking here for a couple of months and enjoying myself.
I just bought 2.5 kg whole cream powdered milk (28% fat in the powder). Now it's winter so the house is cold enough but in 2 months the house will become a furnace. I've had paprika and cumin powder turn rancid because of the heat and humidity.
Can I refrigerate the powdered milk?
Or even better: can i divide it into packs and freeze it?
Food storage suggestions:
-The enemies are heat, light, oxygen, and moisture. You need to prevent all of these as much as possible, especially in a high-fat dry milk product.
-If you are going to use this product fairly quickly (within 6-months), refrigeration will be fine. Just make sure you keep it in an air-tight container. Milk powder has a way of absorbing odors.
-Double that storage time (12-months) by freezing it. Freezing doesn't prevent the fat from going rancid, it merely slows it down.
Out of curiosity, is this NIDO powdered milk?
In my world, 2.5 kg of powdered milk isn't a lot. I regularly store 3-years worth of non-fat dry milk and whey-based milk substitute, but a large portion is in hermetically-sealed #10 cans (oxygen-free) and stored in a cool basement. I haven't lugged home a gallon of milk from the grocery store since 1981.
Hi WinterCat: I know you from the Antique Roses forum. I love your sense of humor. For good laughs, check out the previous thread "What's the worse food you made or ate?" ... You are from Israel, right? I would love to hear what you think on the on worst food.
BTW, I adore the "Israel hotdog" or the fried chickpea in pita bread. I had it once at a restaurant, it was yummy!
Teresa and Strawberryhill - thanks for the lovely welcome!
Yes, I am from Israel, where falafel is the most popular street food. So popular it is that other foods keep finding their way into the pita, including some unlikely ones such as the Wiener schnitzel (though admittedly in its cheap form made from chicken breast).
I'm attaching a link to The Hummus Blog - a delightful and amusing site with recipes for both falafel and hummus (two great ways to consume chickpeas).
I certainly remember the hilarious Worst Dish thread. My own worst dish was the spinach patties I made when I was 14. The spinach leaves were so fresh, so green, so clean, so NATURAL, that it didn't even occur to me they should be swished in a bowl of water and rinsed. Throughout the magical process of cooking, my little sister hung round and watched me with the utmost admiration, so I rewarded her with the very first patty to come out of the frying pan. She took a bite and spat it out, complaining it was full of sand. I tried a patty myself and realized she was right, upon which I stared very hard into her eyes(she's one of the most suggestible people I know) and told her chickens routinely swallow tiny little stones to improve their digestion, so a few grains of sand couldn't do her any harm and might even do her good. Then I offered her a fresh patty and she took another bite, spat it out, turned round and fled the kitchen (though she did slink back for bread and marge as I was scraping the mess into the bin).
Here is a link that might be useful: The Hummus Blog
That was funny, WinterCat! I agree with your sister that gritty stuff are bad. I HATE eggshell in my omelet. One U.S. army chef actually crumbled some eggshells into the mix to convince soldiers that omeletes are made out of real eggs, rather than powdered eggs - so the result is 99% powdered egg, and 1% real egg with shells.
I tried to convince my 10-years old to eat beans. I told her beans don't pee and poop, but cows, pigs, and chickens do. So beans are clean and superior food. That didn't work, she still hates beans. Our detour from this topic is: What was preached or convinced stuff that didn't work? Thanks in advance.
Strawberryhill, if I understand you correctly you mean when one follows the recipe instructions but the outcome is a flop? (please set me right if that's not what you mean).
The answer is No. I started cooking way before there was such a thing as the Internet and over time I narrowed my cookbook library to a handful of the most reliable failproof ones (Claudia Roden for instance). Perhaps I've just been lucky or perhaps just suspicious. When I research the Internet for some dish I cross-check several recipes and read the comments of people who actually tried them. Then I pick what seems to be the best, or I produce for my own use some synthesis of two or more of the recipes I checked. It takes some time and effort but it's worth it.
I am not sure I want to welcome you to the Cooking Forum Wintercat!
After looking at your title, I wasted some time researching "regrigerate" to make sure I know what cooking terminology that was. I was not successful.
Then it occurred to me that you might have misspelled "regurgitate". I really had no interest in the topic "Can I regurgitate whole cream powered milk?"
Finally, my curiosity got to me today and opened your thread. Ha!
Since I am a nice guy, and nice to have members from Israel, welcome to the Cooking Forum anyway! :-)
dcarch, thanks! Miaou! You ARE a nice guy :)
Sorry again about the typo. It does bring to mind "regurgitate". No chance I'm going to regurgitate NIDO. I refrigerated it in airtight containers like Grainlady suggested, and I'm very pleased with it. I add a very heaped heaped teaspoon to my coffee & tea and it's wonderful. It doesn't dilute the coffee/tea like liquid milk does, and it brings down the temperature of the drink only very slightly (also unlike liquid milk from the fridge) which is just what I like. If that's not enough, it's also cheaper than whole cream liquid milk. Hurray!

So I just got into brewing, and I figured I'd start out with a cider thinking that; not too many ingredients, easily available, and hard to screw up.
I know some of my equipment is very unorthodox, but its the best that i can currently obtain from the situation i am in. I am using a 3 gallon plastic container with a hose adapter drilled in the top leading to a home made air lock. I am sanitizing by wiping everything down with bleach and a sponge.
what i really need is a critique of the recipe I am using,
3 gallons of Trader Joes organic no preservative cider
2 lbs. confectioners sugar
Approx 1 teaspoon (probably more) of lemon juice as acid mix
1 pack wyeast cider yeast
I plan to finalize the ferment with sorbate and then sweeten either with sugar or lactose. Does anyone have an idea on how much potassium sorbate i should be using to stop the ferment? also, will the half assed method of putting this in used seltzer bottles be alright for storage?
I use sorbate and campden together to stabilize. It will not stop a fermentation usually, but once the wine or cider is finished, it will keep it from restarting when sweetening is added. If you use lactose, you don't need to use sorbate. For honey, sugar, etc, you do. I use 2/3 tsp of sorbate in 5 gallons to stabilize, along with 1 campden tablet per gallon (crushed and dissolved).
I'd lose the confectioner's sugar- that has corn starch in it. Either use table sugar or corn sugar, or no sugar at all.
I'd recommend reading up on better sanitizing- bleach can cause some off-flavors if not diluted and rinse properly. A sponge can harbor bacteria and is very hard to sanitize. You will need some siphon tubing, also. You can't pour it into bottles or into secondary- you need to siphon it.
As you have access to a trader joe's (there's one right near me and I use it for juice to ferment all the time) the only thing I have to say about the recipe itself (not going into the state of your set-up) is to buy a few different varieties of apple juice from them, I had WONDERFUL luck with this one http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=67156 and it's still getting better.
Confectioner's sugar has corn starch in it. I have no idea what it will do, it might make it cloudy, or it might make it full bodied, you may want to go with regular sugar, brown sugar, or honey.

Michael McCaleb and Chad Tovey founded Zuriick in 2006 after searching for the perfect pair of shoes and coming away empty-handed. The designing duo launched their label with a short run of the Ake, a rubber-soled, canvas upper that quickly caught on with the casual-cool crowd. From those modest beginnings, the Salt Lake City-based label has expanded its line of simple, lightweight, and stylish footwear to include multicolored canvas lace-ups (the Beata), men's and women's leather pull-on boots, and canvas dress shoes. The brand's "USA boots" series, a collaboration with Nick's Boots, features burgundy, stacked-heel boots and other styles made in Spokane, Washington.
As much as we here at Gilt love all of our sales, we can't argue with the instinctive logic of a shoe sale that give you quick access to all the great options we've got in your size. For all you size 10 members, we've got a great array of shoes by Cole Haan, Alexander McQueen, ALIFE, Paul Smith, and a ton of other celebrated designers. See a pair you like? We suspect they'll be a perfect fit.
Sneakers take a step up under Zuriick's direction. Choose among sleek leather slip-ons, colorful canvas lace-ups and two-tone suede high-tops, all with the signature purple soles, of course. Or treat your feet to these avant-garde sneaker-boot hybrids.
Sure, you can lose the tie when the weekend hits (though you don't have to), but that doesn't mean it's time to slip into your finest sweatsuit and pretend it's proper clothing. Make sure your off-the-clock look is up to snuff with this collection of casual gear. It's everything you need to keep that style kicking on Saturday and Sunday.
With a commitment to straightforward quality, Zuriick has been making understated, stylish shoes for men since 2006. Including lace-up boots, high top sneakers, oxfords, and more, you'll realize the only simple thing about these shoes is your desire to purchase them.

2. The Tale: Furry Hobbit Feet
Frodo Baggin's mind was wandering through wayward dreams when it was suddenly pulled back to the world of the waking. He groggily propped himself up on his elbows and gazed about, momentarily confused. His small, cozy room in Bag End was completely dark, a black, inky void. What in the world had awakened him? The night was still, silent.
Frodo lay back down with a grunt and was just about to go back to sleep, when he heard it again. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bilbo's muffled voice carried in from the next room. "Frodo! There's someone at the door!"
Finally, Frodo's still half-asleep mind registered exactly what he was hearing. Someone was knocking on the door. But who would be at their door at this hour?
Slowly, Frodo sat up, stretched, and shook his head, attempting to clear it of its cobwebs without much success. He trudged to the door, yawning loudly.
The pounding on the door continued, and this time it didn't stop. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Frodo stumbled as he quickened his pace. "I'm coming…." he mumbled. "I'm coming!" he managed a bit louder when the pounding continued. Finally, he reached the door and pulled it open….
The first thing he noticed was that it was raining, a steady, soaking rain. The grass and earth above the Hobbit hole had sufficiently muffled the sound, so the rain could not be heard inside. The second thing Frodo noticed was two, very wet figures standing on the doorstep, their identities hidden by their cloaks, which were wrapped tightly around them in a futile attempt to keep out the rain. But judging by their diminished stature, and the fact that they had no beards, they were most definitely Hobbits. And Frodo knew only two Hobbits who would have the gall to show up at someone's door in the middle of the night.
"Merry! Pippin! Pray tell, what are you doing here at this ungodly hour?" asked Frodo, obviously annoyed.
Merry and Pippin brushed past him into the dry home without a word. Now fully awake, Frodo closed the door and turned to level a piercing stare at his friends, who at that moment were peeling off their drenched cloaks and throwing them into the ever-expanding puddle of water on the floor. He cringed inwardly.
Merry finally answered, while wringing out his long, blondish-brown curls. "Coming to visit you, of course."
Frodo couldn't believe his ears. "Do you know what time it is?!"
Pippin tilted his head a little to the side as if deep in thought. "I believe it's time for a midnight snack, or so says my stomach."
"You could set a clock by your stomach, Pip," Merry quipped.
Before Pippin could reply, Frodo interrupted the developing argument with a sigh. "Make yourselves at home. I'll brew some tea in the mean time." He went to the kitchen to do just that – and to find something to clean up the now rather large puddle on the floor.
> § <
After he got the tea heating and the water mopped up, Frodo went in search of Merry and Pippin. It didn't take very long to find them as they were making enough noise to rival that of a charging oliphant. They were in the bathroom.
As Frodo approached the closed door, it opened suddenly, and Merry stepped out, wrapped tightly in a warm, fluffy towel. He yawned loudly while closing the door behind him. "Pippin's in the bathtub," he muttered before slowly making his way to the kitchen.
Frodo just stared after him, a blank look on his face. I think I'm still sleeping, he thought. This is all too bizarre.
He was startled back to reality by loud, joyful singing coming from the opposite side of the door.
"….O Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!"
There followed a tremendous splash and a shout.
Frodo just stared at the door, wondering if he should just go back to bed. Maybe all this was part of some very peculiar dream. Maybe it was that extremely old bottle of ale Bilbo had found buried in the cellar the day before. He would need to speak with his uncle about that…
Frodo turned…and jumped when he saw Bilbo standing right behind him. The elder Baggins was a master at sneaking up on people. Pippin resumed singing and bathing though Frodo was sure the bathtub was less than half full now. He sighed deeply at this revelation, and tried to remember exactly where he had left the mop.
Bilbo yawned, and pointed at the bathroom door. More splashing could be heard. "What in Middle-earth is going on in there?" he asked, yawning once more.
Frodo cringed as Pippin hit a particularly high note, then he sighed. "Believe me, Uncle, I haven't the slightest idea." With that, he turned and went off in search of the mop.
Bilbo's eyebrows crinkled together in confusion, but after another splash and a high-pitched squeak, he trudged back to his room. Now that he thought about it, he didn't really want to know.
> § <
Pippin yawned, stretched, and would have gone straight back to bed if it weren't for an annoyingly persistent voice calling his name.
"Pippin! Come on, Pip, wake up!"
Pippin blinked as his eyes adjusted to the muted light of the room. Merry's face loomed above him. It took the young Took a second to recall where he was. Then he smiled as he remembered.
After his bath the night before, he had proceeded to the kitchen to enjoy a Hobbit-sized snack with Merry and Frodo, the latter sitting with his head propped on his hands, staring into his tea, muttering under his breath. Then it had been time for refreshing slumber – at least for Merry and Pippin as they had each plopped onto a separate bed in the guest room, and fell fast asleep.
Pippin shifted under the covers with a soft sigh of pleasure. …Bed so soft….so warm…. "Don't want to get up," he muttered sleepily as he closed his eyes once more.
Merry sighed. "Come on, Pip! We have the whole day ahead of us!"
No response.
Merry sought about for an idea, and one came to him almost immediately. It was evil, but not too evil. A mischievous gleam came into his eyes as he leaned down close to his friend's ear. "Breakfast is ready," he whispered.
Pippin shot up, almost smacking Merry in the face, threw back the covers, and ran to the kitchen, his bare feet making soft plopping sounds against the hardwood floor.
Merry, who had jumped back just in time to save himself from certain doom, now found himself sitting on the floor, four feet from the bed, staring at the door his friend had just passed through, thanking the Valar for his quick reflexes, and wondering what exactly had just happened.
When he finally got to the kitchen, he found a very sour-looking Pippin standing, arms folded, by the empty table.
"Oh, Pip, 'breakfast is ready!'" the young Took mocked sarcastically, "Ready, my foot! It's not even in the making!"
Merry laid his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Oh, but Pip, how else was I to get you up. If I hadn't done it, you might have slept 'til supper and missed five meals!"
Pippin weighed this in his mind for a few moments, and, deciding this last option was a greater evil than Merry lying to him, he brightened up.
Forgiven, Merry set to work whipping up some pancakes and bacon as Bilbo entered the room.
A little later, the three sat at the table, preparing to dig into the delicious-smelling food, when Pippin glanced around, and, as if noticing someone absent for the first time, asked, "Where is Frodo?"
"He's sleeping," Bilbo answered.
Pippin's expression changed to one of confusion. "Sleeping still? Does he always sleep this late?"
Bilbo's mind labored to create some intelligent-sounding answer to the question, but it was a hopeless cause. He settled on rolling his eyes instead.
> § <
An hour later, Merry and Pippin left Bag End to explore Hobbiton. The residents of the Hobbit hole under the Hill breathed easier. The rest of Hobbiton did not.
Merry stepped lightly along while Pippin hopped, skipped, and jumped, having a singularly wonderful time. The lunch basket on his arm swung wildly from side to side. Merry couldn't help but watch with apprehension every time the basket tilted a bit too far. He, for one, did not want to witness his smoked ham, fresh bread, and apples go flying into some mud puddle.
His anxiety grew until finally he stopped. "Pip, why don't you let me carry the basket?"
Pippin reluctantly handed it over, looking a bit affronted, but he soon found something that served to distract him. Up ahead, atop a hill, some Hobbits were working to raise a tent.
"Merry! There's going to be a party!" Pippin exclaimed, pointing, "Let's go watch!"
The two Hobbits proceeded up the hill, the forgotten basket swinging wildly from Merry's arm.
They reached the top of the hill, panting, but still running. Pippin was so entranced by the humungous, brightly colored tent ahead, he failed to see the Hobbit standing directly in his path or hear Merry's warning yell. The young, curly-haired Hobbit ran headlong into his unfortunate victim.
This poor Hobbit had been watching the proceedings as well; therefore he did not perceive Pippin coming up behind him. One minute he was an innocent bystander, the next he was flying forward at the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow.
Merry stood to the side, silently observing the scene of chaos unfolding before his very eyes. Pippin lay sprawled on the ground, spitting grass, a look of confusion on his face. The other Hobbit, whose name, by the way, was Olo Deepdelver of Brockenborings, on the way realizing that he should have just stayed in Brockenborings, had crashed into another Hobbit, who in turn fell into another, who, by no small measure of unluckiness, was one of the Hobbits helping to raise the tent. He went down, still holding his rope. The whole tent came down with him in a huge heap of canvas.
While the rest of the Hobbits worked to free those struggling under the deflated tent, Merry pulled Pippin to his feet. Looking about, Pippin's eyes grew wide with shock at what he had caused, but a small, persistent smile threatened to pull at his lips. Do not think badly of our young, Tookish friend for if you ever saw four, portly Hobbits attempting to escape a huge ball of brightly colored tent fabric, you would find it highly amusing as well.
The smile on Pippin's face was soon wiped away, however, when the group of Hobbits turned toward him and Merry with menacing looks on their faces. "You fool of a Took," they growled, slowly advancing.
One look and Pippin knew what to do; he had done it many times before. He leaned in toward Merry and whispered, "Run!"
The young Brandybuck needed no convincing. Together, our two friends fled down the hill, a whole gaggle of screaming, chubby Hobbits bouncing along after them.
If Pippin had looked back, he would have found this sight somewhat amusing as well, but of course, he was otherwise occupied that particular moment in time.
> § <
Merry and Pippin ran long and hard, and eventually lost the pursuing Hobbits in the forest. Noticing this, Merry was just about to point out that they could stop running, when his feet hit open air, and he found himself rolling down a steep embankment and into a rather large, and at that moment, badly placed mud puddle.
It took Merry a minute to realize that the reason everything was suddenly so dark was because he was lying face down in the mud. It took him another minute to figure out that the heavy thing lying across his back, making soft gurgling noises could only be Pippin. It took even another minute before he realized that their precious lunch was also wallowing in this soup. This last thought served to capture his attention!
He tried in vain to wiggle free, but he was trapped beneath his Tookish friend. "Get up, Pip!" he growled, but his words sounded more like muffled gurgles; after all, his face was still in the mud.
Pippin eventually got the message and proceeded to dislodge himself from his current position, but unfortunately since his face too was caked in mud, he accidentally used Merry's head as a push off point.
As the young Brandybuck's face squished deeper into the mud, he would have rolled his eyes, but his eyes were, at that moment, being used as an ingredient for a new form of mud pie, so he couldn't.
Now up, Pippin enlisted the assistance of the back of his sleeve to wipe the slime from his eyes. Then he surveyed the scene. Merry was gurgling in the mud, and their lunch lay ruined. Pippin couldn't help the sarcastic remark that sprang to his lips. "Oh, that was good," he muttered.
He helped Merry right himself, and while the young Brandybuck searched in vain for one speck of clean cloth on his body with which to wipe his face, Pippin picked through the remnants of the glorious feast they had packed. Ham and bread and bottles of ale lay half submerged in the murky, congealed puddle. The lunch basket lay on its side. It appeared to be empty. Upon closer examination, however, by some stroke of luck, Pippin saw that one piece of food remained inside. He lunged for this last remaining piece of the now ruined feast and held it aloft as if it were a golden torch.
Merry looked up, his now clean eyes sticking out starkly against his mud-covered face. "What is it?" he asked.
Pippin dropped his pose and replied nonchalantly, "An apple." He took a large bite and casually walked out of the mud, onto drier ground.
Merry rolled his eyes (as they were now free to do so) and followed his Tookish friend.
The two Hobbits proceeded to the Bywater Pool where they washed most of the mud from their skin, but their clothes were a hopeless cause.
After this, they hiked back to Hobbiton and stopped in the Green Dragon for a bite or two (or three….). After a feast that surpassed the one they had packed and a few rounds of ales (and yes, they come in pints), our friends settled back with their pipes and discussed the finer points of pipeweed.
After a particularly long puff, Pippin exhaled, sending a cloud of smoke into the air, and exclaimed, "Merry, you should write a book about pipeweed!"
The young Brandybuck turned in surprise. "Me! Write a book! Are you daft?"
Pippin's smile soon turned into a loud guffaw.
An older, male Hobbit, hearing Pippin's laugh, sidled up to their table and greeted them, eyeing their mud-caked clothes, but deciding not to make anything of it. "Well, if it ain't Merry Brandybuck and Peregrin Took! Come all the way from Buckland me heard. Come, grace us with a song!"
Merry shook his head 'no', but Pippin immediately dropped his pipe and jumped up on the table, pulling a certain, reluctant Hobbit with him.
The young Took whispered in Merry's ear and then began to belt out a jolly tune.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe."
The crowd of Hobbits inside the Green Dragon watched and clapped in time to the beat. Pippin jumped and danced, singing at the top of his lungs. Merry found his joy somewhat infectious and suddenly found himself joining in the spirited song.
"Rain may fall and wind may blow,
And many miles be still to go."
But suddenly the table didn't feel quite so stable. Merry hurriedly jumped off and motioned to Pippin to do the same, but the young Took was too caught up in his song to notice.
"But under a tall tree I will lie,"
Nearing his climax, Pippin jumped high in the air –
"And let the clouds go sailing…."
– and crashed to the floor, the flattened, wooden table under him.
The Green Dragon was soon in an uproar.
The owner came out into the main room and about had a near breakdown. "That was me gaffer's, gaffer's, gaffer's first table that he carved his own self when he opened this here tavern all those long winters ago!" His tears suddenly turned to rage.
"You fool of a Took!" he shouted at Pippin.
Things were about to turn ugly when Merry and Pippin did what they did best – run! (But not without picking up Pippin's pipe on the way out.)
Once again, our young friends were being chased across Hobbiton, unknowingly drawing ever nearer to the Hole under the Hill.
> § <
Samwise Gamgee, a portly, normally sweet-tempered Hobbit was crouching in the dirt of the Baggins' garden. He was doing what he loved best – caring for his precious flowers.
Now you may be wondering why I refer to them as his flowers when they are, in fact, being planted in the Baggins' garden. Well, let us just say that Master Samwise was very possessive of his "babies".
He hummed some nonsense tune that seemed perfect for the laidback day that it was.
Suddenly, he heard muffled thumping, and it was gradually growing louder. He turned just in time to see Merry and Pippin stampede past, carelessly crushing the fragile blossoms beneath their feet. Sam sat back, aghast, watching them run off into the distance.
Finally, he regained himself and was just about to go after them when a group of about ten Hobbits sped past, obviously in pursuit of the other two. They also crushed his flowers. Seeing this, the normally calm Hobbit felt his blood boil. Nobody hurt his "babies" and got away with it!
Sam jumped up and ran off after the other Hobbits as fast as his portly figure would allow, yelling all the way.
> § <
Frodo, who had just managed to rise from bed after the nearly sleepless night before, heard the commotion and was about to look out the window, when he thought better of it. There was no telling what he'd see, but there was no doubt in his mind about who had caused it.
He sighed and slowly wandered back toward his bedroom. That warm, fluffy pillow seemed awfully inviting….
> § <
The wise, millennia-old wizard, Gandalf, sat atop his horse-drawn cart, lazily meandering his way through the Shire, his eventual destination being Bag End to visit his dear, old friend, Bilbo. Bilbo, the thief! The slayer of Smaug the Dragon! But now living out the remainder of his unusually long life in the peaceful Shire.
The wizard smiled at the memories these thoughts conjured up. He still wasn't quite clear on how Bilbo and the dwarves managed to escape the Elvenking, but Gandalf failed to be surprised. He learned long ago that Hobbits could do amazing things at the moment when it is least expected.
The old wizard chuckled lightly, and, filled with mirth, began to sing,
"The Road goes ever on and on…"
Riding steadily along, he now entered a shallow valley, less than a man's length high, where the narrow road had been cut directly through a small hill.
"Down from the door where it began…"
Gandalf sighed in content. The sky was blue, the birds were singing their nonsensical songs, and all seemed at peace.
"Now far ahead the Road has gone,
and I will follow…."
Gandalf stopped singing suddenly and slowed his horse. What was that peculiar sound? It was almost as if the earth were…trembling…
> § <
Merry and Pippin ran hard, trying to shake the pursuit, but to no avail. Merry glanced ahead, and to his horror, saw a narrow valley with steep sides straight ahead. There was no room to turn, nowhere else to go, so he did what he had to do. Merry skidded to a stop two feet from the edge, saw Gandalf's shocked face, and shouted, "Pippin!"
But Pippin didn't have time to react, and he went flying over the edge, wailing. All of the formerly pursuing Hobbits watched, frozen, waiting for the inevitable.
> § <
The peculiar thumping sound became louder, and the trembling grew more intense. Gandalf glanced up to his right just in time to see Merry's surprised and horror stricken expression, and then suddenly another Hobbit was flying at him, full throttle!
As the Hobbit crashed into the wizard, Gandalf's pointed hat went sailing through the air, landing behind one of the cart's back wheels. At the same moment, the horse reared, and the wagon rolled backward…
The wizard watched as his centuries-old hat (which he happened to be rather fond of) was smashed, crumpled, and mutilated beyond any hope of repair.
Calming his horse with soothing words, Gandalf slowly turned his head to face the unfortunate Hobbit who had incurred his immeasurable wrath. Pippin seemed to physically shrivel up under Gandalf's penetrating, icy-eyed stare.
An unnatural silence hung in the air like death itself.
The wizard counted to ten … then roared with a force not to be matched in all of Middle-earth, "YOU FOOL OF A TOOK!!!!!"
> § <
Merry and Pippin left soon after that for reasons never fully explained, and a month later, Hobbiton (and Sam's flower garden) had mostly returned to normal.
Frodo lay in bed, feeling tiredly peaceful. The room was dark, but the blackness disappeared every once in awhile as lightning rent the night. However, Frodo cared not. He was warm, sleepy, and in the wonderful process of letting his head sink into the pillow, when a sudden Bang! Bang! Bang! shattered the night.
Frodo sat up quickly, gazing about bleary-eyed and slightly confused.
Then Bilbo's voice carried in from the next room. "Frodo! There's someone at…"
But the young Baggins never heard his uncle finish his sentence. The elder Hobbit's words were drowned out as Frodo continually knocked his curly-haired head against his bed's unfortunate headboard.
It was going to be a long night…
Thud… Thud… Thud…
> § <
Long before Merry and Pippin took part in the legendary events recorded in The Lord of the Rings, helping to bring down the Enemy with their newfound courage and unshakable loyalty to Frodo and Sam, they were two, young Hobbits, living in the peace and contentedness of the Shire, with a knack for mischief…

People Magazine's Controversial Choice For Sexiest Alaskan Alive
People made mistakes all over their "Sexiest Man Alive" issue.
You might already be aware that People has released its 2012 list of the "sexiest men alive," and that's it's full of terrible choices. People also declared a "United States of Sexy" list, picking the sexiest men alive that hail from each of the 50 states. In an upset that rivals Channing Tatum over Ryan Gosling, the runt of the Miami Heat, Mario Chalmers, was selected as the sexy delegate from Alaska. We realize that naming the sexiest Alaskan alive is no small task, but look at all the worthy Alaskans People overlooked.
2. This guy is the sexiest Alaskan alive? Hardly.
4. Carlos Boozer is from Juneau, and look how well manicured his beard is!
5. Trajan Langdon, who was Duke's first Alaskan Assassin, recently retired after a long career in Russia.
6. Lance Mackey has won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race four times, and didn't have LeBron James around to cover up his weaknesses.
Do you know how hard it is to win the Iditarod? Fact: 80% of Alaska's population lists "sled dog racer" as their profession, and Lance Mackey beat them all four times.

Blake Griffin had 20 points and 10 rebounds, fellow All-Star Chris Paul had 19 points and 13 assists, and the Los Angeles Clippers ended their first three-game losing streak of the season with a dominating 101-85 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. Randy Foye added 18 points for the Clippers, who are three games behind the Lakers for the Pacific Division lead. They began a stretch of five home games in eight days. Reserve point guard Mo Williams missed the game because of a sprained big toe on his left foot, which occurred early in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's loss at New Orleans. X-rays were negative, and an MRI showed no significant damage. But coach Vinny Del Negro said about 1 1/2 hours before tipoff that Williams would not be back in the lineup any time soon. Zach Randolph had 14 points and eight rebounds for the Grizzlies, who have lost six of eight after an 11-2 stretch. Point guard Mike Conley had nine points and nine assists during a foul-plagued 22...

Osborne Advisors PRO is a sports wealth management offering created solely to focus on the unique financial management needs of professional athletes and coaches. While portfolio planning and management is a primary concern, we focus not only on growing the assets but protecting them as well. We analyze the potential for loss, whether it's a career ending injury, property damage/loss, legal liability or simply an overpayment on taxes because of poor portfolio planning.
Osborne Advisors is in a unique position to counsel athletes during and after their career as we currently provide for the financial and business planning needs of local, regional and national business and individual clients, as well as the professional athlete. By utilizing our business clients and networks, we are able to provide career consulting as well as business and risk management for our professional athlete clients. At Osborne, we strive to give the player a smooth transition into life after sports and a continued comfortable lifestyle.
The Osborne Advisors Pro is a new initiative aimed at ensuring that the assets earned during an athlete's relatively brief playing career are properly managed to support a financially secure and comfortable post-retirement lifestyle. Planning for the future is not an athlete's current focus, playing the game is. Most professional athletes have a limited window of huge earning power, early in adulthood, and how they choose to manage it determines their level of comfort for the remainder of their lives.
At Osborne Advisors we recognize that money doesn't come with a playbook or a coach. We have a seasoned bench of experienced professionals with experience in managing the complex needs of professional athletes and our advisory team is made up of athletes who actively enjoy being on teams when they aren't in the office.
Professional athletes are an under-served niche when it comes to smart management of assets. Even managers have trouble finding the best fit for their athletes when it comes to a trusted financial advisor. Many successful athletes don't think that the flow of money will ever end. But when they know their playing days are coming to an end, they are more likely to think about the management of their money and assets. Sadly, they are late to the game. At Osborne, we're committed to working with athletes early on in their careers to help create the foundation for financial management success.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Ke$ha made a name for herself with infectious dance-pop hits but the singer-songwriter is stepping out of her Auto-Tune comfort zone on "Warrior", out this week.
Ke$ha, 25, stormed the charts with hit songs about drinking, partying and having a good time, such as "TiK ToK" and "Your Love is my Drug" from her 2010 platinum-selling album "Animal".
Ke$ha talked with Reuters about the pressures of following up the success of her first album and responding to her critics.
Q: Did you feel additional pressure while working on this album after the success of your debut, "Animal"?
A: "Everybody keeps asking me about pressure, and I think a lot of other people maybe are feeling pressure about this record, but I just want to make a good record. If I sat around trying to make a number one record, I'd just be too consumed with that. I just want to make an awesome, kick-ass record that I love and that my fans love."
Q: Was there anything that you weren't happy with on the first album and that you wanted to change for the second?
A: "I just wanted to make sure my entire personality was presented more accurately. I feel like people really got to know the super-wild side of me but then sometimes a more vulnerable side. I didn't really feel comfortable expressing it. So this time I kind of forced myself to express a little bit more vulnerability, less Auto-Tune, less vocal trickery. It's a little more raw."
Q: You received a lot of criticism for your use of Auto-Tune, masking your true singing voice. Was that a valid criticism for you, when many others use it?
A: "I remember having this conversation with my producer, and him saying, 'We're using a lot of vocal tricks,' and I said, 'People will get to know me as my career goes on, I just want it to sound really weird and cool and clubby right now, and super electronic.' I made a conscious decision to use Auto-Tune for effect, as ear candy, and vocoders and chop up my words.
"This time around, I have heard so many different people say I can't sing, it's quite frankly irritating, so I ... made a five-song acoustic EP ('Deconstructed', out on December 4) that's kind of like my middle finger to all those people that said I couldn't sing, and there's more of my voice on this record. You know, haters are going to hate, you just have to do what you want to do."
Q: Talk us through some of the collaborations on "Warrior". There's quite a variety, such as with Iggy Pop and Ben Folds.
A: "Ben Folds is a friend of mine. He gave me a giant glitter grand piano that's in my house, so that one was natural. The Flaming Lips was probably surprising for a lot of people because we're two super-different genres of music but we had the most fun and we made so many songs, it was super insane. We're like best friends, we text everyday now, so that kind of came naturally. The one that I really have been working on for years was a collaboration with Iggy Pop. He's one of my favorite musicians and artists of all time, so that was super exciting for me, because I respect him so much."
Q: You've written tracks for Kelly Clarkson and Britney Spears, and you've written all the songs for "Warrior". What did you want to bring out in your lyrics this time round?
A: "I definitely wanted to maintain the irreverence, because that's why my fans like me. It's because I'm super honest, not always PG rated ... but I didn't want to let the haters somehow cramp my style or get the best of me, so I maintain my irreverence ... I also really wanted to show the other side of my personality, which kind of is more nerve-wracking to show people, being a real person and the vulnerable side of my personality and voice. So there are tracks on this record that are super vulnerable and were hard even to write. I had to force myself to sit down and write these songs."
Q: You've carved a distinctive image and also just launched your latest collaboration with Baby-G watches. How do you want to evolve your career in the future?
A: "I think that with this record, I really wanted to show that there are no rules or boundaries in art, at all, like I sing and I can use crazy Auto-Tune vocoders and I can rap and I can do a song with Iggy Pop. You can do all these things that make sense. You don't have to just be one thing, like, you don't adhere to any sort of stereotype or any boundaries or any rules, so for me it's really fun to break down these boundaries."
Q: You came in at the forefront of the electronic dance music explosion in the pop charts two years ago. Why do you think EDM is doing so well?
A: "Dancing is one of the ways we, as adult human beings, still get to play and it's socially acceptable. Little kids play all the time, but as we grow up, we're supposed to just not play anymore, so our version of that is going out and dancing, and I think it's one way people are still visceral and animal-like."

Hi Dane. My partner and I have a great Facebook page and a (relatively) popular (in our niche) Twitter account. But we don't have a website. In 2013 (and beyond) is there any incentive to focus our (limited) time and resources (growing, hopefully) on a website when we could be focusing all of our attention on FB and Twitter?
I'm going to tell you a secret. You've been sold a bad bill of goods, and because you've been neglecting your website, your business is suffering. Maybe not a lot, but it is.
You've been listening to all the experts. They say need to be spending your time on Facebook. And Twitter. And Google+. You've been told of social media is what's important and it's where you should spend your time. You've faithfully made your 1 – 2 posts to Facebook day in and day out; and 22 tweets, just like the experts recommend nearly every single hour of every day. But your website, it's just sitting there neglected.
Sure, you might occasionally post an update to your blog. Or change your hours with the seasons, but for the most part your website sits there static and unchanging. Gathering dust and cobwebs.
Heaven forbid, you might even be one of those 52% of all businesses that don't have a website. 'website builder What's your problem? Is it that websites, with all their gobbly-gook of HTML, javascript and css are too difficult for you? Surely you're joking. There are tons of web apps for creating drag and drop websites.
I think that the real problem is that you're lazy. It's just so easy to bash out 140 characters for a tweet, or to share that over-cliched (and over-shared) funny cat photo on Facebook. It just seems like it takes real work to update a website.
But here's the truth. Creating and updating a website isn't hard. Especially if you use one of the tools I've mentioned above, it's almost the same amount of effort to update a page, or to create a new one.
You no longer need to hire a designer to craft good looking pages for your site either. You can drag and drop your content right into one of their professional designed templates and immediately post the page to your website. No more broken links and no more spending the day fighting with the html.
And unlike Facebook and Twitter, when you publish something on your own website, it's there until you remove it. No more scrolling off the page and missing 95% of your customers. That information, whether it's special prices, or technical specs, or your sales page, that content will be there for ever.
Another reason to build a website is that, in my mind at least, just as it looks unprofessional to reply to a customer's email with your firstname.lastname@example.com email address, it looks just as bad to direct someone to facebook.com/yourCompany when you could be directing them to yourCompany.com.
Look, having a website is jut a cost of doing business in the 21st century. You wouldn't have considered starting a business in the 1980s without business cards and a telephone, would you? Nor would you have started a business in the 1880s without first hanging a shingle out above your door. How many big, successful, companies don't have a website today? I'm guessing none.
In twenty years, the idea of a business website might seem as dated as the shingle or the rotary phone, but for now, it's an absolute necessity. Don't scrimp on it. Don't be lazy. Setup and update a website for your business today.

The Smile
From Library Staff
In Renaissance Italy, Elisabetta longs for romance, and when Leonardo da Vinci introduces her to Guiliano de Medici, whose family rules Florence but is about to be deposed, she has no inkling of the romance--and sorrow--that will ensue.

The natural beauty of Taiwan's Taroko National Park
One CNNGo reader waxes poetic about the stunning Taroko Gorge, pristine beaches and many attractions of Taiwan's famous national park
With friendly people, great food, and a number of attractions, Taiwan is a destination that should be on every tourist's travel plans for 2011.
What should really persuade potential tourists to visit are Taiwan's natural attractions, with the Taroko National Park near Hualien getting top billing.
Here are some of the park's top spots.
Taroko Gorge
The Taroko Gorge is a spectacular 19-kilometer long canyon in Taiwan's east coast a short drive from Hualien. The climate is usually cool and humid, but again perfect for any of the trekking options at any of the long or short trails available, biking or whitewater rafting.
It's just over 60 kilometers from the coast, yet it is home to some of the highest peaks in Taiwan at over 3,400 meters.
It can be easily visited by bus, car or scooter and has enough treks to keep you busy for several days, but most people usually only visit it on one.
How to get there
Taroko Gorge is close to Hualien, so an early morning start is recommended. That is unless it's raining or you're traveling with kids, in which case I recommend renting a scooter.
Be aware that most of the rental agencies will ask for an International Driver's License, and the drive from Hualien to the Gorge will take about 30 minutes along a beautiful (and dangerous) road snaking next to the Liwu River.
Beaches near Taroko Gorge
One of the best ways to call off a day at the gorge is by heading to any of the great nearby beaches: Hualien beach, picture-perfect QiXingtan beach (reachable along the bike trail from Hualien too) or Jici beach for those who want to hit the surf when in season.
Tunnels, shrines and waterfalls
More Taroko National Park highlights include the Tunnel of 9 Turns (a man-made pedestrian-only tunnel that follows the river offering dramatic views), a dip in the Eternal Springs Shine during the unbearably hot summer months, a walk up the steps to Hsiang-Te temple and getting wet in the Water Curtain Tunnels along the trail to Baiyang Waterfall (currently closed due to landslide danger).
For more information please visit the Taroko National Park website.

The Season of (Electric) Light
From GHN
The Evolution of Holiday Lighting
Before the last autumn leaf has fallen, many cities and towns will be sponsoring their annual holiday tree and menorah lightings. Illuminated municipal buildings and shopping centers will lure customers to linger past dark, and at the top of many holiday gift lists will be flat-screen televisions and electronic games and gadgets. From November until January, the season is awash in light.
While candles have marked many holiday traditions for centuries, electric light added a new dimension. In 1882, just three years after Thomas Alva Edison's invention of the light bulb, an enterprising associate, Edward Johnson, thought of replacing the customary Christmas tree candles with electric light bulbs. But adorning the tree with Johnson's lights was not a simple matter of untangling the string of lights and draping them around the tree — the bulbs needed to be specially made and hand attached to an electric wire. No Saturday afternoon project, achieving a lighting spectacle required a professional to assemble and hang the decorations. Nevertheless, the idea caught on, with President Grover Cleveland inaugurating the first electrified White House Christmas tree in 1895.
Innovations in lighting technology, including parallel lights that remained lit after one bulb in a string burned out, sets of lights that could be connected end-to-end to create longer chains, safety measures to prevent fires, and aesthetic improvements — new shapes, designs and colors — eventually followed, although it would still be many years before the now standard lights came into widespread household use after the First World War.
In keeping with efforts to be energy efficient, the tree at the National Capitol is also now lit with LEDs. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are the newest lights gaining popularity. Because LEDs do not require filaments or glass bulbs, they can produce bright white light, and through the use of refractors, a range of vibrant colors. Moreover, they are being made in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. Even more appealingly, especially in view of the rising economic and environmental costs of energy consumption, the new lights burn longer and more efficiently, and are less subject to damage, all of which make them a desirable consumer alternative to traditional lighting.
LEDs are also changing the face of another holiday custom — the exterior lighting of the Empire State Building. Like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Empire State Building is a symbol of a great city. One of the nation's most recognizable historic landmark buildings, the Empire State Building, has been illuminated since its completion in 1931, but it was not until the 1970s that colored lighting, which changes according to the holidays, was introduced. The first holiday lighting was red and green for Christmas, and blue and white was added years later to mark the Hanukah holiday. Today, advances in technology are changing the way the building is lit, however. With the recent conversion to LEDs, the building's 208 floodlights no longer need to be adjusted or changed by hand, a previously time-consuming and laborious process. The future looks even brighter, with plans on the horizon for "intelligent illumination" capable of creating endless variety of designs. With more spectacular effects now easily at hand, computer-controlled LEDs will likely change the face of this holiday institution.

As you search for your perfect apartment, please keep in mind that rental rates (including specials and discounts) and availability are very fluid in the apartment industry. Based on many factors, the rental rates (including specials and discounts) and availability can actually change not just daily, but hourly, if not even more quickly. While our advertisers do take steps to keep their information current, the rental rates or availability you may find here now at ForRent.com may not be the same as when you contact the communities.
