Found step by step instructions on your website, they were posted by another do-it-yourselfer. The exact make of dryer that I have, and the drawings with part numbers listed was quite helpful. The bad motor came out easy enough and the new one was just like the old so it fit right into place. Strung a new belt around the tumbler drum and dryer is just like NEW. Thank you so much. Probably saved a couple hundred dollars.

On B.TAYLOR's Wall
Yeah but all those directors are more popular than Theo, except for Tarr. Although Tarr is more popular than Theo in the U.S. It's a shame, but Theo was never 'cool' really. He doesn't appeal to the younger generations. i agree with you about indie kids btw. They aren't really into modern art films much. They don't go much further than Van Sant or Jamursch.

Tales of the Valkyrie:
The Princess of Pentaxia
Anticipation. Thirteen years of anticipation had brought her to this point with nothing to show for it. Zh'unt'ari Ch'K'rr, empress of the Pentaxian Dynasty strode through the halls of the imperial palace, her body language projecting a confidence and self-assurance she did not feel. Her coronation may have been completed, and her position as zh'unt'ari finally confirmed, but the events of the past three days had been what the Terrans would call an 'emotional roller-coaster'. She had renewed old acquaintances, formed new friendships, nearly been killed twice, hiked through the ca'll sh't'ya, the ghost canyons, for eight hours, attended a burning, and ordered an execution. Her tutors had taught her to look back, to review where she had come from, so she could see the progress she had made, so she did so now as she walked through the polished orange marble halls. She had been barely eight years old, barely mature enough to give rational, if frequently self-serving, orders when the death of the emperor elevated her to the throne. She had ruled by fear, as fear was all she had known. Fear of the d'v'ash't'ya, the floating wraiths who could appear anywhere at any time, and drained the life from her mother. Fear of the fanatics who had assassinated her father. Fear of being seen as weak. She remembered the first time she had seen Marcus Kane.
His alien features filled the viewscreen as the warship had pursued his tactical shuttle out of Pentaxian orbit, protesting his innocence -- not with the pleading subservience Ch'K'rr was accustomed to hearing in all who addressed her, but with a calm, almost offended dignity. Although he appeared uninjured, the collar and chest area of his shirt was covered with dried blood. To Ch'K'rr's perspective, his dark hair and pale eyes were striking and exotic.
"I have committed no acts of espionage nor treason against you, Empress," he stated, his hands flying over the console, sending the shuttle spinning out of the way of the disruptor bolts, but never breaking eye contact with the child-monarch. "My mission was to intercept miss-appropriated Federation technology, and arrest the operative responsible for its presence on your world. The technology is destroyed, and Sloane is in your cell."
Ch'K'rr had giggled at that thought: A knowing, sinister laugh which would have been unsettling from an adult. From a child, it was positively terrifying. She had heard the cries of pain and violation echoing through the dungeons as the interrogators had plied their trade on the captured operative before she boarded the warship to pursue the Federation shuttle. She had not known what was being done to him, but it had been like music to her ears.
"You are harboring a traitor on your vessel," she snapped, seeing Ahd'r K'm'rn standing behind Kane's seat. Once the platoon leader of the A'nla sh'k assigned to the planetary capital of Ja'Kell, she was now a fugitive. A traitor who had inexplicably turned on her own troops in defense of an alien spy. "She must face justice for her betrayal."
"Ahd'r Kah... Ku aah,"
He can't even pronounce her name!
Ch'K'rr thought with smug superiority, but he persevered. "Ahd'r Ka'aahmairahn has requested political asylum within the Federation."
"Ahd'r K'm'rn has requested political asylum," Kane repeated, this time, the vowels flowing easily from his tongue. "As a Starfleet captain, I have granted her request, and intend to escort her to Federation space. Further attempts to destroy or capture this vessel could constitute an act of war between our people."
The viewscreen returned to its view of the fleeing shuttle, as it headed towards a gas giant, plummeting instantly into its turgid depths.
"Follow him in!" Ch'K'rr howled, and the officers scrambled to obey. A vicious, spoiled child she may have been, but following the assassination of the Emperor, she was the heir-Empress -- her word was law, and to disobey meant a one-way trip to the dungeons and the horrors within.
Immediately, the deck began to shudder and roll from the atmospheric buffeting against the warship's hull.
"Highness, we must break off the descent!" Ahd'r H'rK'tt c'r'nai, the ship's commander advised. "The hull was not built to withstand this kind of pressure."
"If the Human can survive it, so can we," Ch'K'rr stated, with the bravery born of ignorance. "Maintain the pur-"
She was cut off as the deck dropped away beneath her feet, as the grav-plating went off-line, and explosions tore from consoles around the bridge.
"What's happening?!" Ch'K'rr screamed, grabbing hold of a railing to keep from floating around the bridge.
"The bussard intakes have overloaded from the pressure," H'rK'tt reported. "Engines are off-line, and systems are failing. We've lost navigation and are in an uncontrolled descent. We have less than a minute before we reach a depth which will crush the hull like an egg."
Suddenly, the viewscreen sprang to life, the swirling taupe clouds were replaced with the face of the Human captain.
"I have your ship in a tractor beam and am pulling you clear of the gas giant," he reported. "Once you are clear, I will disengage, and return to Federation space. I understand that by your customs, I now own your lives. I request that you use them productively, and repair your ship rather than attempt to pursue me."
"Thank you, Captain, your assistance is-" began H'rK'tt, but Ch'K'rr over-rode him.
"Very well, you may leave my space, Captain, and take the traitor with you," she snarled. "You may indeed have saved our lives, but I could still order my ship to destroy yours. By allowing you to leave, I am saving
life. I trust you understand what that means."
On the screen, Kane nodded uncomfortably, and behind him, K'm'rn's eyes narrowed with resentment.
And she
let them go. Over the intervening years, her vile rages had eased. Advisers and tutors managed to instill a sense of generosity and humility in her as they prepared her to assume the throne upon coming of age. She began to see the wisdom of her father's desire to forge an alliance with the Federation, and so she had requested a diplomatic envoy to witness her coronation and return with an application for membership. She had not known what to expect by requesting that Marcus Kane be the attending representative. Maybe hoped that he would see the educated woman she had become, and overlook the arrogance and vindictiveness of her youth... But he had had
with him: The traitor...
Her arm linked through his as they entered the great hall, a sign to all present, but to Ch'K'rr in particular, that he was
man. Hers alone, and she had not forgotten Ch'K'rr's childish claim of j'sh'an ha'lock.
In the face of her guests, generals and representatives from a dozen worlds, nobility from her own, and her cherished ward, S'rR's, Ch'K'rr had forced the resentment down and swallowed her pride. Accepting K'm'rn's position of seniority, and embracing her as a sister. The anticipation of all those years cast aside to be replaced by, not rejection, but redundancy.
Ch'K'rr had not known what to feel when R'sH'd had launched his coup against her. He had been her most trusted advisor, and yet all that time he had plotted against her. She had felt satisfaction upon seeing his head parted from his shoulders, knowing that the man who had killed her father, imprisoned her guests, and killed K'm'rn, albeit accidentally, had sufferered sufficient shame to repay the depth of his betrayals.
The halls of the palace seemed strangely lonely without S'rR's at her side. For three years, she had been her constant companion, absorbing knowledge like a sponge, and fitting into the elite circle of the imperial court as if she had been born to it, rather than created in a lab in an experimental program Ch'K'rr felt thoroughly ashamed to have authorized. Her flawless memory had made her the perfect companion: able to keep months of scheduling at instant recall, as well as providing surprisingly stimulating conversation and witty banter. She had been a gentle girl, without a malicious bone in her body, yet people averted their gaze and shied away from her as if she harbored some terrible disease. Eventually, Ch'K'rr ordered them, under pain of death, to treat S'rR's as they would treat her, and that had worked. Those who had shunned her before hid their distaste and afforded her kindness, and she had flourished in the dynamic environment. Upon learning the truth behind her creation, and where the Human DNA which augmented the A'nla sh'k sample had been sourced, S'rR's only desire, her
, had been to visit the Federation, and following the coronation, Marcus had accepted her request to do so.
Entering her private chamber without so much as a glance at the guard, Ch'K'rr moved to what appeared to be a large vanity unit, but which contained a powerful computer terminal. Her hands moving over the reactive interface, she called up the security footage from the balcony camera, where Marcus had stood between her and S'rR's, observing R'sH'd's execution. Save the moment of the departure of the
, this had been her last time in his presence, and though he was gone, she would always have her recordings.
Kane stood beside S'rR's, his beautiful assistant Amanda between him and Ch'K'rr . The executioner drew the sword, preparing for the upward slash. With a hand on the back of her head, Kane turned S'rR's' face toward his shoulder so she would not witness the decapitation.
What she saw next, made Ch'K'rr's breath catch in her chest, and her scalp prickled with anger. That Marcus had held S'rR's thus to spare her the sight of the decapitation was understandable, and clearly a gesture of kindness rather than impropriety, but from the angle of the camera, Ch'K'rr saw something else she had not realized at the time, and she tabbed the replay control:
S'rR's slid her arms round Kane in an embrace, her fingers momentarily flexing against the white fabric of the jacket of his dress uniform, before she stepped back.
Had she seen what she had thought she had seen? Two vertical furrows appeared between Ch'K'rr's brows as she replayed the images, zooming in and enhancing, and yes, it was there as clear as the suns in the sky. Openly scowling now, and calling up the feed from another camera, Ch'K'rr watched as they filed off the balcony and into the corridor. At the time, she had known that she could say almost nothing to Marcus: With K'm'rn dead at R'sH'd's hand, severing a bond which all could see had been unbreakable, anything but the most mundane conversation with the Fleet Captain would have been unthinkable. A bond of thirteen years meant a mourning period of thirteen years... Ch'K'rr would be thirty three before she could approach Marcus without shaming herself and embarrassing him... Almost another lifetime... She had waited before, so could wait again, and he would be as he was now, unchanging, eternally youthful and in his prime, a fitting consort for an Empre- Ch'K'rr's train of thought was derailed by what she saw on the screen:
Ch'K'rr passed out of the view of the camera, Amanda closely following behind her, when S'rR's stepped closer to Kane, sliding her arm through his, and then staring directly at the camera. She had
Ch'K'r would see this, and the message in her eyes was unmistakable: One day he'll be mine and there's nothing you can do about it...
Ch'K'rr felt rage boiling up within her, her scalp contracted and she leaped to her feet.
" she screamed, driving her fist through the screen, and sending shards of tempered glass cascading to the floor. With a savage cry, she swept everything from the surface of the vanity unit, before upending it and sending it crashing away from her. Spinning on the balls of her feet, Ch'K'rr lashed out, her claws rending drapes and a four century-old tapestry, before slamming her fist into a wall, feeling the skin of her knuckles split open. She pulled her fist back and slammed it forwards again, a bone in her hand shattered and agony shot up her arm, but in her rage, Ch'K'rr barely noticed.
Behind her, the door flew open, as hearing the commotion, the guard rushed in, his tetryon blaster drawn in case the Empress was under attack. The floating wraiths could appear anywhere and at any time to suck the life-force from the unwary, but there was no sign of any d'v'ash't'ya, just destruction, and the empress in a combat stance, blood dripping from her hand.
"Highness, is everyth-"
"G'ron'sh'r!", Ch'K'rr screamed.
F**k off!
Unsure of what else to do, but obey what technically constituted an order, the guard quickly backed out of the door and sealed the room.
Eventually, Ch'K'rr's rage subsided, and she collapsed to her knees. In all her life, she had never felt so alone.
M'riY'na entered the reception room, and saw Ch'K'rr already seated.
"I understand you worked under S'ld'n on the project which created S'rR's," the empress began.
M'riY'na felt her pulse accelerate, and tried to keep her voice steady. She had not forgotten how S'ld'n had been removed from the project, and never seen again.
"Yes, Highness, I am a geneticist specializing in fertility treatments," she said. "I had nothing to do with the way she was treated, I always gave her extra desserts and shared my audio files with her, when her memories were lost, I played them to try-"
Ch'K'rr held up a hand.
"I know that S'ld'n was responsible for the abuse S'rR's suffered," she said. "That is not why I summoned you. I have been told you are the leading fertility specialist in your field. I wish to conceive, and require your assistance."
"I don't understand, Highness," M'riY'na admitted. "Surely the empress has no need for such services."
"What do you think it means to be empress?" Ch'K'rr enquired lightly.
M'riY'na shook her head.
"I... would not presume to guess, Highness," she replied.
"Allow me to enlighten you," Ch'K'rr said. "To be empress, is to sit in silence in a crowded room, because no one will dare begin a conversation. It is to spend my nights alone, because no suitor would dare to approach, considering me already bonded due to childish arrogance. It is to know that obligation must always come before the self.
"For three years, S'rR's was like a daughter to me, but now she is gone, and obligation requires that I provide an heir. I need them to be enhanced as the A'nla sh'k, so they will never experience the weaknesses I have. You are acknowledged as the leader of your field, and I would entrust that task to no other."
M'riY'na tried to keep her jaw from dropping, and nodded gracefully.
"It would be my honor."
V'sh'K'rr threw the roadster into a sharp turn through the canyon, the roar of the engine almost drowned out by the rushing wind which whipped at her hair. The pitch of the engine grew, and not lifting her right foot from the accelerator, in a single movement, she jammed her left foot on the clutch and dropped her hand from the steering wheel to the shift, changing up a gear. Glancing down at the locator, V'sh'Krr saw she was still on course for the rendezvous. An imperial princess she may have been, but V'sh'K'rr had been schooled by the most skilled drivers in the militia's motor pool, and racing was her greatest passion. It was the only time she was free of the constant observation and bodyguards. Not that she needed them. At her mother's insistence, advanced critical neural pathway formation therapy in her childhood had pushed her intellect and reactions far above normal levels, and gave her the strength to fight half a dozen combat tutors without breaking a sweat. But there was still the unwanted entourage.
On the horizon, V'sh'K'rr saw the McKnight memorial: A simple statue in tribute to the first Human to die on Pentaxia in the service of the imperial family. Hauling the wheel over while pulling the e-brake, V'sh'K'rr brought the roadster to a gravel-spewing halt.
Beside the statue, attempting to remain within its shadow, a Human male. His blonde hair would allow him to pass for Pentaxian at a quick glance, but the scar on his cheek was eye-catching enough to draw too much attention for the illusion to last more than a few seconds.
"You're late," Franklin Drake said as V'sh'K'rr climbed out of the roadster and approached him.
"Remember your place, spy," she warned. "Ensuring solitude is not easy for one in my position. Unless you want my mother's guards finding you new quarters beneath the palace. The last member of your organization who visited them did not enjoy the hospitality..."
"Apologies," Drake replied, bowing deeply. "I am merely aware of how dangerous and prone to incursions these canyons can be."
V'sh'K'rr laughed.
"I would not have expected a man of your experience to fear the d'v'ash't'ya," she mocked. "The wails of their approach are warning enough to prepare."
"I shall not embarrass myself by attempting to pronounce your name for them," Drake replied. "But I know how dangerous these beings are, and have no desire to become a meal for them."
You would like that, wouldn't you, Alexei Ivanovich...
He thought darkly.

"You should learn to live dangerously, Mister Drake," V'sh'K'rr replied, taking a deep breath, then letting out a high pitched shriek which set Drake's teeth on edge.
"Are you mad?!" Drake demanded, looking about nervously, but no Devidians appeared, and V'sh'K'rr simply leaned back against her roadster laughing.
"We're waiting on the test results," she chuckled, in a way Drake was unable to tell if she was being serious or joking. In the end, he gave up.
"To business," he said. "I've spent much of my career pursuing a particular offshoot of the Human genome which creates immortality. I know that your geneticists cracked the code nearly four decades ago, and I want to acquire that knowledge."
"The spy is afraid of death?" V'sh'K'rr sneered scornfully.
"I don't seek it for myself," Drake replied. "The quadrant is facing dangerous times. Borg, Klingons, Orions, Romulans. The time is coming where people might be able to accept augment platoons, and making those augments as durable as possible is -- logical."
"I can offer you two options," V'sh'K'rr said. "The original research files and notes, which might allow you to recreate the effects you desire, or, I can point you towards the goose that lays the golden egg, and you go direct to the source."
"Ambassador S'rR's," Drake acknowledged, to which V'sh'K'rr nodded.
"My beloved sister," she replied disdainfully. "Her blood may be weak, but it should give you all the information you need. If I can be assured of... backing, at a time of my choosing, I can arrange for you to get what you are looking for."
Drake nodded.
"We have a deal, Highness."

Real Salt All Natural Sea Salt
Long ago in what is now Central Utah, Native Americans found a mineral-rich salt deposit from an ancient sea when they saw deer eating the soil. In 1959, Milo and Lamar Bosshardt were struggling to keep their family farm afloat when they discovered that this salt deposit extended beneath their land. They began selling the salt to local farmers for their animals and heard reports the farmers were using the salt to season their own food. People insisted this "real" salt be made available for everyday use, and the brand was born.
Today we still bring Real Salt to you in its natural state – without additives, chemicals, or heat processing of any kind. Real Salt's unique pinkish appearance and flecks of color come from more than 60 naturally occurring trace minerals. The result is a delicate "sweet salt" flavor that you may not have experienced before.
Real Salt means real flavor. Take a taste test! First taste Real Salt, then try any other salt – the difference will amaze you!
Is Your Salt Real?®
Real Salt means – well, real, authentic salt. A quick glance at the ingredients label on most salts might surprise you! Many salts contain anti-caking agents and even dextrose (sugar). Others have been heat processed and stripped of their natural trace minerals. Real Salt brand, on the other hand, is unrefined and full of natural minerals and flavor – the way salt was meant to be savored.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Eminent Malayalam poet P Bhaskaran, who left a deep impression in Kerala's cultural realm as writer, lyricist and director for over five decades, died at his residence here on Sunday, family sources said.
He was 83 and had been keeping unwell for quite some time.
He is survived by his wife and four children. Bhaskaran, who dominated Malayalam cinema along with Vayalar Ramavarma as top-notch lyricist for long, had penned hundreds of songs known for their romantic charm and soft lyrical touch.
He was instrumental in freeing Malayalam film music from the influence of the Hindi and Tamil playback styles in the 1950s, by writing simple and lucid lines set to original music by veteran directors. Still, many of his widely appreciated scores are hailed for their 'ghazal touch'.
Bhaskaran's vintage numbers, most of them composed by K Raghavan and MS Baburaj, form part of the Malayalis' nostalgia.
His songs in the 1960s launched careers of top singers including KJ Jesudas and Jayachandran, and made S Janaki one of the most favourite female voices in Malayalam.
He is also a trail-blazer of modern Malayalam film and the 1959 classic 'Neelakkuyil', which he co-directed with Ramu Karyat, is regarded in Kerala as the first successful attempt to hold a mirror to social realities.
Hailing from Kodungallur in Thrissur district in Kerala, Bhaskaran's early writings were inspired by the freedom struggle and the leftist agitations to create an egalitarian society.
A card-holding communist,one of his early popular poems was 'Vayalar Garjikkunnu', penned as a literary tribute to the revolutionaries of the Punnapra-Vayalar uprising.
Later, he distanced himself from the communist party and idelolgy and his subsequent poems are known for their humanism and romanticism.
Bhaskaran has also had a stint with All India Radio as staff artist at Kozhikode in the 1950s, where he came in close contact with many of his associates including K Raghavan and Baburaj. In his radio days,he scripted a large number of audio plays and acted in many of them.
He, however, gave up the job and moved to Chennai as editor of 'Jaya Keralam,' a periodical that opened its pages to the new writing in the 1960s.
The big film hits, known for the Bhaskaran lyrics of this period, include 'Laila Majnu,' 'Bhargavi Nilayam,' 'Rarichan Enna Pauran' and 'Nayarupidicha Pulivalu.'
He was equally conversant in turning out humour songs, many of them set in beats of 'Mappila Pattu', the musical tradition fostered by Malabar Muslims.
Since the mid-1960s he mostly spared his creative talent for cinema as lyricist, script writer and director. He also acted in some of his films.
Bhaskaran had served as Chairman of the Kerala Film Development Corporation and was founder-chairman of Asianet, Malayalam's first cable television venture.

RED BANK — Everyone knew it was coming.
Red Bank Catholic knew. Allentown knew.
It was only a matter of how the Caseys would respond.
Allentown erased deficits of six goals in the first half and four goals in the second half, but Red Bank Catholic would get the last say, pulling away over the final ten minutes to top the Redbirds, 17-13, in the South Group II sectional final last Thursday at Count Basie Park.
The lady Caseys held leads of 6-0 and 10-6, before surrendering the lead for the first time in the second half.
"We knew they were going to battle back. We scouted them three times and I talked to a couple other coaches and we told them before the game that there was going to be a set of runs, similar to basketball," Red Bank Catholic head coach Lisa Caprioni said. "We needed to keep our composure, and when we had to, our defense made plays."
After the Redbirds took their lone lead of the day at 12-11 with just under 15 minutes remaining in the game, RBC looked to the leaders that crowned them Shore Conference Tournament champions 13 days earlier.
The lady Caseys scored six of the final seven goals of the game, playing a major part in their come-from-behind victory.
Senior Catherine Luick banged in a pair of goals 17 seconds apart following Allentown's short lead, putting Red Bank Catholic on top for good, 13-12, with 13:14 to go in the game.
Sophomore Maeve Cowley buried home an 8-meter goal two minutes later, extending their lead to 14-12.
Junior Victoria Brown, sophomore Amanda Casten and senior Kaitlyn Cunningham all added goals over the final 6:18 of the game, giving RBC the four-goal cushion that stood as the final score.
"I practice so much and it finally paid off," Luick, who finished with a team-high six goals, said.
Luick scored four of her goals in the first half, playing a big part in the Caseys jumping out to a quick 6-0 lead less than nine minutes into the game.
RBC got early goals from Cunningham, who finished with three, sophomore Grace Fallon, along with Casten.
"All year long, these kids have worked and put a tremendous amount of time into the offseason," Caprioni said. "Our big thing is that it's not the best team that wins, it's the team that plays the best together. We played the best together today."
The Redbirds fired back late in the first half, scoring six straight goals to tie the game. Junior Alex Moore led Allentown's attack with a team-high six goals, scoring two during their run in the first half and three during their four-goal run in the second half.
After Allentown came back to tie the game in the first half, the lady Caseys got two late goals from Luick and Fallon, grabbing a two-goal lead into halftime.
"We were a little nervous. We knew that we were a much better team, team-wise. Our coach said that we worked so hard for this and we pulled it through," Luick said.
After Luick and Cowley scored to put RBC back on top in the second half, the Redbirds fought to get back in it, but they were held scoreless over the final 9:32 of the game, with the lady Caseys holding possession for the majority of that time.
The win comes nearly two weeks after topping Manasquan on May 11 in the Shore Conference Tournament final. Red Bank Catholic will look to complete the tri-sweep of championships this week in the tournament of champions.
"It's just awesome, it's amazing. The whole season has been," Caprioni said. "We told them before the game, that every once in awhile you get lucky enough that all the planets line up the right way and that we had an opportunity to do something really special today. All year long these kids have come up big and they didn't disappoint us today."
"Shore Conference is great, but to win states is such a better feeling," Luick said. "It's really an honor."
The tournament of champions is slated to begin play on Thursday.

Peanut butter and white chocolate fudge
This is the best Peanut butter and white chocolate fudge I have had. Granted it is sweet but a little bit goes a long way.
I know I know, this peanut butter and white chocolate fudge is not your typical healthier dessert, but you know what? What the heck, is not like a bake or cook like this every day right? A little goes a long way. Just don't eat 3 or more pieces all at once :-)
Some things to remember that make this peanut butter fudge a little bit better:
1. A little goes a long way
2. This fudge does not have marshmallow cream, which I think it is gross.
3. You don't need a candy thermometer to make it. Well you actually don't need one for any of my fudge recipes :-). Makes the job a hell of a lot easier!!
I got the recipe for the Peanut butter and white chocolate fudge from my famous and popular Irish cream and pistachio fudge but of course I did scale it down because that one used 3 bags of chocolate chips.
I think you can add more peanuts if you like or even more peanut butter. Maybe the fudge will become a bit soft though, so just experiment at your own risk :-)
I found this to be super sweet, but which fudge isn't? I really don't know any way to healhified fudge, do you?
Like I said before, a little bit goes a long way, just don't eat more than 1 piece at a time, if you can!!
I hope you find this appealing. Until my next recipe
Here you can see the steps of making the fudge. On the first step just place all of the ingredients, except chopped peanuts, in the pot. When the chocolate is melted add the chopped peanuts and stir.
Here you can see the peanuts already incorporated :-) Then, place the mixture in the pan and sprinkle a few extra peanuts over the top.
This is the container I always use to store the fudge. These fudge is good. Sweet though but good :-)
These fudge makes a perfect gift for anyone. Easy peasy :-)
Peanut butter and white chocolate fudge
Miryam's original recipe
Yield: 30 pieces
Total Time: 20 minutes
11 oz white chocolate chips, 1 bag, I always use the Ghirardelli brand.
1 14 oz can condense milk
1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter, oil drained, I used organic peanut butter.
1/2 cup chopped peanuts, I used raw and unsalted
Lined a square pan, I used an 8x8 square pan, with foil paper and lightly grease it.
In a sauce pan, at low heat (make sure you do this process at low heat for the oil not to separate from the chocolate and peanut butter), pour all of the ingredients except chopped peanuts. Stir constantly until chocolate has almost melted.
Turn off heat and continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted. Add peanuts (reserve a couple of tablespoons of chopped peanuts to sprinkle over the top) and pour mixture evenly onto prepared pan.
Sprinkle the reserved peanuts and pad a little bit with your hand. Let fudge cool until set. I actually place the fudge in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to speed up the process.
Remove fudge from pan and peal off the foil paper. Cut fudge into small squares and store in a sealed container at room temperature.

YAY! It's here! I think marshmallow creme is gross too and I hate how it's spelled. It should be: marshmellow cream. This is much more logical.
And I know how to healthify fudge! I have two recipes up for healthy fudge and I think they're just as satisfying as the real stuff, although I think healthifying white chocolate fudge is impossible because there's no such thing as "white chocolate cocoa powder" that you can add honey and coconut oil to.
It looks super yummy! Did you use commercial or natural peanut butter?
- #2
I bet this just melts in your mouth. Yum! :D
chocolate & carrots
- #3
I always use organic peanut butter. Much better :-) Can't wait for your recipe!! although I remember you did something similar with coconut oil fudge like. I have to check it out!!
- #4
But there's organic commercial peanut butter (the kind with sugar and oil and junk) and organic natural peanut butter (the kind that's just peanuts). I'm guessing you used the kind that's just peanuts, right? That's the kind I've been using for the last few months but the other one is so much tastier. :(
I only have two "healthy" fudge recipes and they're already up. :) They're hazelnut chocolate and peanut butter chocolate fudges.
- #5
the one that I use has only peanuts, not even salt or anything else :-)
I will check your fudge recipes now!!
- #6
Good! The fudge looks so creamy so it's good to know that it's possible with the peanuts only kind. :) Thanks for the answer!
- #7
I have a quick question about your blog, do you think you could email me?
- #8
Ooooh, yummy! I can actually see myself making this, especially since it doesn't have marshmallows or creme(is it just me or do fudges made with those have a weird texture?). I don't make fudge often, but this looks so worth it :D
- #9
I love white chocolate and peanut butter is a staple in my grocery list. This combination is really worth a try…I'll let you know how my family will enjoy this, I am sure it will be a blast. =)
- #10
Did you use 12 oz. of chocolate or three bags of chocolate? One of my Ghirardelli bags is equal to 11 oz. I tried to refer to your other recipe (because you mentioned you used that and scaled it down), but I am confused because you used the same sized baking pan and the same amount of condensed milk. Can you help? Thanks.
- #11
Yeah I used the same size baking pan with the same amount of condensed milk and just 1 bag of the white chocolate Ghirardelli chips. Sorry for the confusion. I will make a note of it!! :-)
- #12
What an interesting combo! Sounds delicious! Maybe a pinch of salt in the filling would help balance out the sweet flavor.
- #13
This looks SO delicious… I love vanilla fudge that I eat at the beach, this looks so amazing. PB and white chocolate fudge. I made something with white chocolate this weekend, will post soon. Great RECIPE!
- #15
Looks yummy, I'll have to try this one. My daughter is allergic to all brown chocolates but can eat white chocolate. She will be so happy to eat fudge again. Thanks for the recipe.
- #16
what kind of crazy person thinks marshmallow creme is gross??
- #17
me and many other people :-) Fake stuff is always gross…
- #18
I tried making this tonight. It was my first time making fudge and turned out poorly. It was lumpy and the oil separated out. It wasn't smooth at all. Could you help me troubleshoot?
- #19
Kay T,
wow I really don't know what to say. The only think I can think of is that maybe you used some type of peanut butter that had added oil or something? I use an organic brand from TJoes but any should be fine. Maybe the chocolate chips where another brand which may have more sugar content and other cheap ingredients?
If that was not the case and you used exactly what the recipe suggested I wouldn't be able to tell. Make sure you when you mix the ingredients you do it over low to medium heat.
I am a bit puzzled about his because this recipe is really full proof, that again unless the peanut butter brand had some added oil :-(
If you do it again, how about you scale down the recipe to make sure in case in turns out bad again that you don't have to waste so much of the ingredients? So sorry about this… :-(
- #20
I was thinking of making this but have a couple of questions. Was the milk sweetened condensed? And just to make sure natural peanut is okay because the oil separates from the natural type.
- #21
I used sweetened but if you find the unsweetened kind use that instead. As far as the peanut butter is concern, I used organic peanut butter from trader joes. If you think your peanut butter will separated use one that doesn't. I have had another person try this and it separated so I am thinking the peanut butter was the culprit.
Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for visiting my blog!!
- #22
I tried this tonight and I don't think it will turn out.. :( The oil separated.. I used organic PB too.. It was weird because I was cooking it on low and it looked right and the chocolate was starting to melt so I took it off the heat and as I did it started looking all oily.. I went ahead and put it in a pan, used a few paper towels on top to soak up the oil and put some powered sugar on the top too.. But I do not have high hopes for this..
- #23
oh noooo…some one else had exactly the same problem. I really don't know why this is happening. Maybe the oil from the peanut butter has to be drained? I remember not draining mine when making the fudge and it was fine.
I think I am going to put a note on the recipe that the oil must be drained off the peanut butter but I did too used the organic type and I was fine. Shoot, sorry this happened.
- #24
Made this today. I used toasted almonds and it's super delicious!
Thanks for the recipe!
Greetings from Poland
- #25
Unfortunately although I was looking forward to this [look at those pictures!] & feeling it would be simple, it didn't pan out for me either :( Everything was smooth & steady until the peanut butter suddenly 'roughened up' the texture of everything until it was oily & grainy. I used an organic peanut butter as well. I'm going to give another recipe another try & not give up on either of us yet!

Purchased the camera system because I'll be heading back to work soon and would like to keep an eye on my baby while in the care of the nanny. Set up was easy! Only thing that would be nice to have on the app is a disconnect button that works. I don't need the cameras running while I'm home. One thing that would be easier in the app is

Can't play anything recorded using the phone. It's just black screen. Please fix the problem.

Ip camera works great. I set mine up to watch a bird's nest and last night I captured it eating my pet wild bird. Had no idea a rat snake could climb like that. Poor bird family They wont be hanging out with me no more.

App constantly crashes. Can never get live feed for more then a few seconds before app freezes up. Update destroyed any and all usefulness of this app. Edit* I see everyone having problems uses a Samsung S3. That is what I have for remote viewing. Any suggestions to stop the disconnects and offline messages?

Big shopping center, short time line
Retail Development Advisors is paying $1 million toward the Clinton Keith bridge widening and toward the Linnel overcrossing.
The agreement calls for the Linnel work to start in March 2007 and be completed in November 2007, six months after construction is expected to start on Clinton Keith. Moss said the Linnel overcrossing can be used as a detour around the work on Clinton Keith, although there will not be access to the freeway.
The city also will pursue finishing the Los Alamos overpass widening by spring 2007 so traffic can be detoured from Clinton Keith once construction starts there, according to the agreement.
The developer also plans to realign and improve McElwain Road, widen Clinton Keith between I-215 and McElwain, provide the needed right-of-way at the Clinton Keith southbound offramp, and install traffic signals at Clinton Keith and McElwain and Delaney Road and McElwain, at the shopping center's main entry and exit, city documents show.
Road work at the shopping center —— realigning McElwain Road and widening Clinton Keith west of the freeway in front of the site —— is planned to start Dec. 1, he said.
The shopping center site is now being graded and Davis expects that to be finished in the middle of December.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 - 7 nights
Nestling in the hillside at the foot of a stunning historic hilltop village, Folia lies on a hand-picked plot perfectly situated a few minutes walk from the centre of the village and a short walk from the beach. The house is elegantly furnished with hardwood lacquered furniture, silk bedding and stone statues imported from China. With uninterrupted spectacular views to the sea over unspoilt landscape, this fully equipped villa is able to accommodate a large number of people in complete comfort.
Designed and built to the highest standards in sympathy with local architecture, Folia is surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens containing lemon, orange, fig, pomegranate, plum and peach trees, grape vines and flowering and ornamental plants. The house has a large private pool (10m x5m) with diving board and decked pergola with outdoor mattresses for al fresco relaxation. House features include home cinema, air conditioning, wireless internet, extensive terracing, vaulted chestnut ceilings, granite floors, barbecue, luxuriously appointed kitchen, mosquito blinds and sea views from 4 of the bedrooms.
Megalos Mourtias is the closest beach and is a 15 minute walk downhill (1,000m). It is a pebble beach with two lovely tavernas and sun beds on the beach and under olive groves. The sea here is calm, shallow and has sand underfoot making it ideal for families.
The 11 Sporades Islands are densely wooded and mountainous. Alonissos is one of only 4 inhabited islands in the group, and the only inhabited island in a marine conservation area. There are many beaches around the island and all are unspoilt and undeveloped. Some have tavernas such as Chrissi Milia and Leftos Yialos, great for lunch or dinner by the sea. Up the island is a picturesque port, Steni Vala where you will find some excellent seafood tavernas.
Alonissos has a large and picturesque area of protected forest; a lush mix of dense, scented pine, evergreen oak and a variety of fruit trees and bushes and it has been a walkers paradise for many years. Walking guides describe numerous marked walks across and around the island.
Sailing conditions around the Sporades are ideal with many interesting islands to be discovered. Some of the smaller uninhabited islands offer safe anchorage and secluded coves for swimming and fishing. The close proximity of these islands make this area a perfect place for short excursions. Yachts can be chartered from Alonissos, Skopelos and Skiathos and it is also possible to hire small motor boats from Patitiri harbour for day trips.
There are two excellent diving schools in Patitiri and Steni Vala and an underwater museum is being developed which is due to open in 2014 and will allow diving on an ancient wreck. The sea bed is among the richest in shipwrecks dating back as far as 5th century B.C. and the area around Alonissos and Skopelos has the second largest concentration of ancient and middle-aged wrecks in the world, the most famous being off the coast of Peristera island adjacent to Alonissos.
Alonissos is home to the internationally acclaimed centre of classical homoeopathy founded and run by the renowned homoeopath George Vithoulkas. Yoga and massage are also available locally in the Old Village.
Alonissos can be reached by charter flights to Skiathos between May and October. From Skiathos take the Flying Kat (80 minutes) or Ferry (1 hour 45 minutes). These run daily are can be booked online.
Scheduled flights are via Athens and Thessaloniki and travel from there is by coach to Aghios Contantinos or Volos and Flying Kat for 3 hours or an internal flight to Skiathos and the flying Kat from there.
We would recommend car or scooter hire for trips round the island, but this is not essential as beach and old village are both easily accessible on foot.
For more information and photographs, please visit the Folia website at: www.foliaalonissos.com
We have travelled extensively but once we found Alonissos, there was no doubt in our minds that we had found something very special, a hidden jewel. We love the friendly atmosphere on this island as well as a stunning natural environment to explore. The beaches are extremely quiet and the protected bays and calm clear water are simply divine. Alonissos is a very green island and we love discovering hidden beaches and woodland paths...of which there are many.
Folia purchased this villa in 2006
We hand picked this plot from a large selection including one with it's own private beach frontage and did so because we love the proximity to the beautiful Old Village and Megalos Mourtias beach. We wanted to have space to relax on holiday with plenty of people so we built the house really spacious and comfortable to accommodate our extended family and guests in comfort.
Proximity to Old Village, proximity to Megalos Mourtias Beach, swimming pool, multiple terraces for relaxing, landscaped walled gardens, cinema room, mosquito blinds throughout, extensively equipped cook's kitchen.
Dear Folia, you have been a complete joy to deal with from start to finish. We had an unbelievable time and explored every inch of the island (always happy to return back to Chora – you certainly picked the best spot). I will never forget my morning ritual of awakening before the family and opening shutters and doors and marvelling at that view. The only problem is now that I don't think we will ever be happy renting a villa anywhere else again. What I have certainly realized is that to escape the crowds and beer boys you have to go to an island without an airport. For the first time ever the children really did not want to come back home to see friends or anything. It would be unlike us to go to the same place 2 years running but at the moment we can't think of anywhere better so we may be one of your first for 2011 if you can stand not being there yourselves again. Thanks for helping us make such beautiful memories. Best Wishes
Incredible location. Fantastic facilities. Really well equipped property with a great lay out. Enough space for large groups. Very clean and lots of useful, simple guidance and instructions on how everything worked. Loved the amenities in the Old Town and the locals were always very warm and welcoming. Can't say enough about the place. Absolutely fantastic.
This is truly a 5* get away from it all villa - the tasteful decor & the careful planning of the lay out first strikes you when you walk into the villa.
A walk onto the top terrace (there are 3) and the views will just make your heart melt looking out down into the cove where the nearest beach is - with in the way blocking the view & the sunset is stunning!
The whole villa is immaculately clean, all the rooms had been prepared by the house keeper who nothing is to much trouble for (only a phone call away)- she will do a pre-shop to get you going with the basics if requested.
It has high speed wifi for those that need to keep in communication, plenty of books,reading material if you have forgotten a holiday read & it has the feel of a luxury home rather than a sanitised spartan holiday villa.
The kitchen has got more plates & utensils than a party of 30 could use & all the appliances are high spec & very well appointed.
The location of the villa is superb, 3 min drive into the old town (beautiful) & 2 min drive to the beach which has great beach taverna's.It is also very peaceful & calm at the villa no noise form neighbours or passing traffic. The main port & hub is a 10 min drive through lovely scenery - the island is very green.
We were a mix of 2 families & friends and at no time did we feel cramped or living on top of each other, there is so much space especially outside, wether relaxing by the amazing pool or having a G&T on the top terrace (lime tree in the garden - result), plus the kids loved watching a dvd in the cinema room of an evening while the adults had dinner / bbq on the terrace.
The people on the island are very friendly, there is virtually zero crime, a very safe place to be & the bar & restaurant owner's generous serving stunning food.
There are dozens of coves & beaches to visit all in stunning locations with amazing views,you will need to hire a car to get about,but thats no big deal & nothing is more than a 10-15 min drive depending on what you want to do.
The pictures & web site do not do this place justice.
If you want an escape from it all & chill out villa but with great bars & restaurants close by, you would be hard pushed to find a better island/villa than this.
The Villa was fabulous. We were 3 families in a party of 12 and everyone had a comfortable bedroom. The kids loved the cimema room. It has a high standard of fixtures and fittings with a well equipped kitchen. The position is great being 10 mins from the town and a short walk to the Old Village. A huge terrace allows lots of leisurely meals with stunning sea views. All in all, one of the best villas we've ever stayed in. One tiny niggle - the washing m/c was broken and we had to pay for our laundry
Having holidayed in the greek islands on numerous occasions, finally we have found a villa and Island that delivered all that we wanted. The villa was spacious, extremely comfortable and with views to die for. Everyone involved in looking after us was great, and the short walk to the wonderful old village was a real bonus. We will be coming back next year!!!
The title says it all. We were three families with seven teenagers from 13 to 19 and we all without fail had a really fantastic holiday.
The villa is beautiful with totally unspoilt views out to sea. All the furniture including beds are of the highest quality with a fully stocked kitchen for keen cooks. Swimming pool is excellent with shallow and deep ends and a diving board.
We used their maid service which was also first class and really helpful with any request..
The island is totally unspoilt with The Old Town and port being the highlights.
A perfect holiday.
Villa Folia is by far the most spacious and luxurious villa that we have ever rented in the Greek islands. The bedrooms are all very large and extremely well appointed. We liked particularly the added luxury of bathrobes, slippers and plenty of pool and bathroom towels. If you wish to self cater, the villa has more than everything that you would need. One of the great things about this villa is that it is located so very close to the old town which makes it ideal when you want to dine out. Its rare to find villas of this size so close to the old town and that is a unique feature. Alot of the large villas on this island tend to be much further away which means either driving into the old town each evening.
One other key feature of Folia villa is the large fresh water swimming pool, which meant that we did not have to trundle off to the beach every day. It was wonderful to be able to relax and "chill" out by the pool. As the villa sits fairly high up on the hill it is provided with fabulous views out to sea and over to the mainland in the far distance.
All our guests had a wonderful time at the villa Folia and we would definitely recommend this. We would rent it again!
Folia lies at the foot of the Old Village, which with its whitewashed houses, narrow stone paths and winding steps is a feast for the eyes. At the summit of the Village is an enchanting street lined with restaurants and boutiques; perched at the very end of this street is a cafe serving authentic Greek sweets and ice cream with breathtaking views.
Amble along the thoroughfare and you will stumble upon colourful shops selling hand crafted jewellery, clothes, art and gifts, mostly from local artists.
Alonissos lies in the cleanest waters in the Aegean. Beaches are mostly pebble and shingle quickly graduating to sand in the water, commonly found in sheltered coves making the crystal clear turquoise waters calm and ideal for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving. Some of the more remote beaches are most easily reached by boat. A number of beaches such as Megalos Mourtias and Georgi Yialos are shallow for quite a distance; perfect for paddling and playing games.

"The thing I keep thinking as I read Sinclair Sexsmith's [new book] Sweet & Rough is: this is erotica written by someone who has had a LOT of sex." —Tina Horn, Why Are People Into That?! Podcast
"Sweet & Rough has been a long time coming. For years, Sinclair Sexsmith immortalized their hottest sexual adventures as erotic stories on Sugarbutch Chronicles, earning a reputation as the Internet's queer Casanova. Writing on BDSM, polyamory, butch/femme (and occasionally my personal favorite, butch/butch) desire, Sexsmith authored the world's largest archive of kinky, queer erotica from a genderqueer, masculine of center perspective. Now edited for our eBook and paperback reading pleasure, Sweet & Rough: Queer Smut is a rare gift. You'll want to take this one to bed."

There are several factors within federal law that Holder has to look at to make the final decision whether to go forward with a prosecution.

Site Launch
Habs - Hawks trade I would makeKostitsyns + Halak + pick
Sharp, Seabrook + late pick
Gives the Habs a proven top 6 winger, solves the K situation and they get a puck-moving defenseman to limit the damage caused by Markov's long term absence
Hawks solve their cap issues, get a very capable goalie that can takeover if Huet fails and get a good top6 winger and reunite Sergei K with Pat Kane.
Devils Own Shanahanhttp://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=293313
Brendan Shanahan has decided that he will not play for the New Jersey Devils this season.
The 40-year old winger, who re-signed with the Devils over the summer with the intention of playing a 22nd NHL campaign, released a statement on Thursday that said that he has reconsidered his plans for the coming season.
"When I signed this past summer, Lou Lamoriello, Jacques Lemaire, and I agreed that if we were unable to find a suitable fit in which I would be able to compete and contribute at the level I expect from myself, then I would simply step aside," said Shanahan in the statement. "I have great respect for Lou, Jacques, and the entire Devils' organization. This decision is both mutual and amicable."
Shanahan did not announce his retirement, however. He said that he will take a couple of weeks with his family to consider his plans for the future.
With 656 goals, Shanahan ranks 11th on the all-time goal-scoring list. A three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Detroit Red Wings, Shanahan signed with the Devils as a free agent midway through last season, and returned to the team where he started his NHL career in 1987. In 34 games for New Jersey last year, Shanahan counted six goals and eight assists.
He re-signed for one year with the Devils as an unrestricted free agent on August 5.
Shanahan has also played for the St. Louis Blues, Hartford Whalers, and New York Rangers. He was chosen with the second overall pick by the Devils in the 1987 draft.
I can't believe Lou manages to pull this shit off every time haha.

When you sign up for a free trial of a service, but don't have to hand over your payment information on the spot, do you assume that the free trial will simply go away? That's what many people who signed up for a trial of Amazon Prime seemed to do, and the Iowa Attorney General has arrived at a settlement with Amazon over auto-enrollment in Prime. [More]
Here's Why You Should Always Read The Details Of Free Trials
Beware Of The Not-So-Free Trial At Gold's Gym
There is no such thing as a free trial. Well, sometimes there is, but be wary of any "free" trial that requires you to hand over your credit card or banking information. Craig's wife signed up to try the local Gold's Gym, then decided not to do business with them and end the trial before she ever broke a sweat. [More]
Netflix Offers Ex-Customer Disappearing Free Trial
Dana used to be a Netflix subscriber, and they want her back. To entice her back, they sent her an e-mail offering a free trial. She decided to try it out…but Netflix wouldn't let her. Because, according to their system, she is an existing Netflix customer. Who received an email addressing her as a former customer. [More]
iReel.com Offers Free Trial, Downloads Your Money Instead
iReel.com seems like a pretty neat and reasonably priced service, which allows you to harness the power of the interweb to beam recently released movies directly to your home computing device. However, two Consumerist readers have contacted us about the company, and their misleading or just plain dishonest "free trial" billing practices.
Best Buy Attorney Admits To Falsifying Emails In Racketeering Case
The racketeering case against Best Buy and Microsoft has taken an ugly turn. An attorney for Best Buy has admitted to altering emails that were to be used as evidence in the case. If you're new to this class action lawsuit, Microsoft is accused of paying Best Buy to collect and use customer's credit card information without their permission, signing them up for "free trials" of MSN that they didn't want and or weren't aware existed. When the free trial period was up, MSN began to bill them without their knowledge or consent. A former Best Buy employee wrote in to confess to pulling this sort of scheme on customers, if you're looking for more detail on how it all worked.
