I see my face in the mirror and go, 'I'm a Halloween costume? That's what they think of me?'
Drew Carey
Back to top.
Just in time for Halloween, we've rounded up a bunch of foods that frighten us. Some retro foods look monstrous, while some of the latest culinary concoctions just sound plain ghastly, and still others make you turn away in disgust. Here are some of our favorite dining horrors, which are not for the faint of heart.
We've rated the scary food on a scale of 1 to 10 for general unhealthiness and disgustingness (10 being the most unhealthy or most disgusting).
We hope you enjoyed this foray into the revealing world of scary foods. We hope we didn't frighten you too much. Happy Haunting!

Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Halloween kind of sneaks up on you, doesn't it? One minute you're fretting over how to eat healthy during the upcoming holidays. Then, suddenly, BANG! It's late at night on October 31st, and you're dressed as a giant M&M and going through your kid's trick-or-treat booty looking for a little treat before bed. They're just little Snickers—you can eat three or four guilt-free, right? Wrong. You may be putting your P90X®,
Turbo Jam®, or
Hip Hop Abs® results at risk if you keep indulging in that hard-to-resist booty. Oh, the shame.
Well, okay, so maybe that exact thing hasn't happened to you, but something close to it has, surely. So what's a giant M&M to do? As usual, Beachbody® has come up with a few suggestions.
Instead of trick-or-treating . . . How tough do you want to be on your youngsters? Trick-or-treating is right up there with Easter egg hunts and Santa Claus visits for most kids. Deny them that pleasure, and you might have a revolution on your hands. But if you must, try replacing candy gathering with a trip to an age-appropriate haunted house or some other community event. Then you can stop somewhere for ice cream on the way home. No, ice cream isn't good for you, but it's much better than a giant bag of candy (that can last for weeks!), and it keeps your brood from feeling cheated.
Eat a healthy dinner. If you decide to allow trick-or-treating, the first thing to do is to make sure kids hit the sidewalk with a big, healthy dinner in their bellies. This can inhibit urges to sample the loot en route. When the kids get home, insist they turn over the goods. Then, you can dole it back out to them a few treats at a time over the next few weeks.
Throw out half the treats. If you really want to get Machiavellian about it, once your kid hits the hay, throw half of his or her candy away. Your kid will never know the difference.
Lead by example. Just because your neighbors are handing out sugary junk doesn't mean you need to. Although we live in an age when giving out homemade snacks or fruit is frowned upon, your local discount shop should have all kinds of cool little doodads that any kid would be happy to have, from crayons to rubber spacemen to our favorite, Chinese finger traps.
Trick-or-treating is dandy, but for many, Halloween is a chance to let their hair down and recognize the night for the pagan bacchanalia it was meant to be. It's a chance to put on a mask and be someone you're not.
It's all in the outfit. It's all about the costume, man. So the first thing we advise is that you throw out that aforementioned M&M outfit. You've been working out all year! You've got a fit body now so don't hide it! America needs fewer M&Ms and more shirtless barbarians and cheerleaders!
Prop it up. While you're designing your costume, think props. Idle hands are the snacker's worst enemy. If you're a naughty devil carrying around a pitchfork all night, it's a lot harder to get your hands on those nachos. The same goes for masks. There's no way around it; you're going to eat and drink less if you wear a gorilla mask.
With a few simple shifts in thinking and a little planning, Halloween can be turned into a pretty healthy holiday. If you can get by all those candied apples and individually wrapped snacks without gorging, congratulations. Thanksgiving is going to be a snap!

"I enjoyed your article with the exception of wishing govenment regulation on anyone, see Frankenfoods. Engineered foods can be both good and bad. I would agree that something like high fructose corn syrup has done wonders increasing the weight of our children. However, certain seeds and foods can be bred to be disease and pets resistant, thus reducing the need for additional chemicals and fertilizers."
– Greg Clark, Atlanta, GA
"What really put me on this kick was the fact you blame the recent financial hicup on the lack of government regulation. It was the action of Congress that pushed our lending institutions into providing loans for people who shouldn't have been able to have the mortgage in the first place. Less govenment, more individual responsibility equals a better America. More individual responsibility would also equal healthier more fit individuals."

Cold weather gets luke-warm welcomeBy Anders Ax
Staff Report | January 03,2013Although Thursday was an exceptionally cold day, with a high of only 10 degrees and a low of negative eight, many were able to beat the chill.
Kellsey Oakes of Sheldon stopped into Sundaze Tanning Salon for a few minutes of warmth.
"I definitely come when it's most cold," Oakes said.
When Oakes stepped outside, she said the cold "took my breath away. It's insane. I need to move out of Vermont," she added laughing.
Tammy Errington, owner of Sundaze, said that she's had women show up on their half-hour lunch breaks just to warm up.
"This morning I've been swamped," Errington said.
Errington said that recently, simply because it's winter, business has picked up. But people have also been showing up more often to get a dose of vitamin D from the sun that's been behind the clouds.
"For everyone, it's not about the tan. It's the vitamin D. They flock in for the vitamin D."
For Molly Hornbeck of Whiting and Sarah Stanley of Brandon, they're about to travel to St. John.
"I'm going to study abroad," Stanley said. "I need to get a base before I fry."
Upstairs in Ben and Jerry's, Ariana Thomas of Shrewsbury pressed hot waffle cones on a sizzling griddle coated on the outside with burned grease.
"Well, my car wouldn't start this morning that was sort of a bummer," Thomas said. Luckily, her father let her use his, but she said the cold hasn't really been bothering her. In fact, she welcomes it.
"I'm actually really excited, after last year without any real snow."
Thomas finds the cold to be kind of fun, but doesn't believe she'd want to be outside too long.
"If I was working outside, I'm sure I'd be singing a different tune."

Residents unhappy with gas pipeline routeBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | January 13,2013MONKTON Tensions were high, but Monkton residents remained calm as they voiced their growing displeasure with the proposed natural gas pipeline expansion project that could run through the middle of town.
My well will be impacted; its directly in the path of the pipeline, said resident Mike Bayer. We get nothing. We dont get the benefits to lower fuel costs. That is a giant problem. You will make a lot of damage to a lot of people to make money somewhere else.
Upwards of 80 people gathered at the Monkton fire station Thursday night to meet with representatives from Vermont Gas Systems in a meeting that company officials hope will start the dialogue to resolve issues.
I want to start off on the right note, said Stephen Wark, director of communications with the company. I want to apologize. We have come up with a situation that has not worked for Monkton.
The Burlington-based company has proposed laying a gas pipeline through several towns in Chittenden and Addison counties. The $72 million project, known as the Addison Natural Gas Project, would connect the pipeline that enters Vermont at Highgate and extend it south to Middlebury and eventually Rutland.
The pipeline will also enable the company to provide more than half of the gas to International Paper Co., in Ticonderoga, N.Y.
The company initially intended to use the Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) right-of-way corridor, but now alternate routes may be used that include going through town. This did not sit well with residents.
I am appalled by your lack of sensitivity to the impact youre going to bring, one resident told company officials at the meeting.
Though some residents seemed to appreciate the companys apology, others felt it was already too late in the game especially since the project was filed with the Public Service Board last month.
Monkton resident Renee McGuinness went so far as serving Vermont Gas with a series of notices of no trespass from several residents.
These notices against trespass are our statement that were not willing to cooperate until you move the route, she said. Vermont Gas has not shown any consideration or respect.
Vermont Gas is also facing resistance from residents in Hinesburg, who also do not want the pipeline close to their homes, schools or drinking water wells, and want another alternative route, whether in the town or bypassing the town.
Elsewhere, other municipalities have shown their support for the pipelines expansion. Last month Middlebury officials signed a letter supporting the project that, according to the company, would save approximately 2,100 eligible residential and business customers in Middlebury a combined $5 million per year on fuel oil.
In Rutland City, the Board of Aldermen are considering a resolution in support of the project.
I think it would bring huge benefits to the city and the area, said Mayor Christopher Louras, who proposed the resolution Monday. We could create jobs and retain jobs if its here.
He added, Its important that we sign on with a letter of support to the Public Service Board.
At the end of Thursdays meeting in Monkton, Don Gilbert, president and CEO of Vermont Gas Systems, said he found the public meeting to be helpful and apologized to residents for his companys apparent lack of communication.
We needed to hear this. We made a mistake in this case, he said. We want to work with you. We are committed to working with you.
Gilbert said the company is meeting with state regulators later this month to discuss rerouting the project and hopes to have representatives from Monkton at the table.

The Bishop England Battling Bishops completed the season sweep of the Palmetto Christian Academy Eagles Tuesday with a 70-33 win on Daniel Island.
Holding on to a three-point lead after the first quarter, Bishop England (3-2) caught fire in the second quarter, scoring 26 points while limiting Palmetto Christian (2-4) to just eight. The Bishops took a 36-18 lead heading into halftime led by B.J. Grevey who scored 14 points through the first half.
They played great defense and ran their stuff well, Palmetto Christian head coach Brian Stanley said. I thought they did a better job tonight of trying to get B.J. open and he really got it going. Than ran him off screens well, knocked down shots. They just blitzed us.
The Bishops held the Eagles to just five points in the third quarter while they rang up 15 built off of eight from Grevey and four from forward Dillon Corbett. Grevey finished with a game-high 22 points with four rebounds and two steals, while Corbett added 10 points and 10 rebounds.
We just kept attacking, Bishop England head coach Bryan Grevey said. We tried to get the ball inside, rebound. Fortunately, we made some baskets, but we did get some second chances too and that helped.
The Bishops reserves entered with a 28-point advantage in the fourth quarter and closed the game on an 11-0 run through the final three minutes. Thomas Hanahan and Baylor Rollins both scored seven points in the fourth quarter off the bench. Fourteen Bishops saw playing time Tuesday.
I thought from the first guy that got in the game to the 14th guy, they all gave a great effort, Coach Grevey said. We watched the film and realized, the other night, we did some things that we could improve on. (B.E. defeated P.C.A 70-59 Dec. 4) We had four or five days to work on that in practice and I thought it carried over into the game tonight.
Mitch Hogan led Palmetto Christian with 12 points to go with six rebounds. Ben German added eight points, 10 rebounds and a block, and Andrew Johnstone scored six points in the fourth quarter.
I wasnt pleased with our focus, Stanley said. Weve had enough practice that my veterans know what offense to run but we had spans where nobody was talking to each other or communicating and it hurt us.
Palmetto Christian looks to rebound Saturday in Sumter against Wilson Hall at 5:15 p.m.. Bishop England will travel to Mount Pleasant Saturday to face Wando, tipping off at 7 p.m.
Boykin leads Lady Bishops
Michele Boykin scored 28 points in three quarters Tuesday to propel the Bishop England Lady Bishops to an 86-44 home win over Palmetto Christian.
Palmetto Christian (2-4) stayed in the game through the opening five minutes, holding the Bishops to a six-point lead. But the slim advantage quickly grew as Bishop England (4-0) once again used its defense to generate quick scoring sprees. The Bishops closed the quarter on a 10-4 run. They opened the second quarter with three straight steals that Boykin turned into three quick baskets. By halftime the Bishops held a 47-24 lead and Boykin had scored 20.
Bishop England held Palmetto Christian scoreless through the third quarter while building a 43-point lead good enough to sit the starters the rest of the game. Mary Harriet Moore scored 17 points and grabbed five rebounds in three quarters of play. Hannah Corbett added 15, two steals and block. The Bishops finished with 27 steals and outrebounded Palmetto Christian 34-19.
For Palmetto Christian, Annie Pascutti scored 15 points, and Lizzie Wilson added 13.
Bishop England travels to Wando Saturday, while Palmetto Christian visits Wilson Hall on Friday.

The Charleston Southern University family was saddened by the recent death of former trustee and longtime CSU supporter Lloyd E. Sineath.
Sineath, a retired attorney from Hanahan, served three terms on the University's Board of Trustees (1985-89, 1991-95 and 1997-2001). He was also an active member of the Board of Visitors, a network of leaders who provide assistance to the University in the areas of scholarships, planning, promoting and resource development.
Sineath and his wife, Peggy, established the Lisa Sineath Nursing Endowed Scholarship, in memory of their beloved daughter, Lisa, and have been staunch supporters of the College of Nursing and Allied Health.
"Lloyd and Peggy have supported Charleston Southern University for a long time," said CSU President Jairy C. Hunter Jr. "They were with us during all the years of growth and expansion at the University and have been faithful friends.
"We appreciate the leadership and guidance Lloyd exhibited on our Board of Trustees, and his steadfast support will live on through the students who benefit from the Lisa Sineath Nursing Endowed Scholarship."
Sineath was awarded an honorary doctor of laws by the University in 1996. In addition to his service on the Board of Trustees and Board of Visitors, he was a life member of the President's Club.

After playing the beta, I'm 100 percent sure that I will enjoy this game, in some ways the game is sandboxed in some ways it is themepark. I don't plan on buying another mmo any time soon, if there is an SWG2.0 coming out in 2016 right away I'm preordering it.
Also, you can't trust on reviews, you can't trust on sources, you have to trust yourself, and trust what kind of game you like and try it out yourself.

Im sorry, but please specify that you are looking for a modern CONSOLE fps feel. CS, UT99, FEAR, Quake, had none of these things (other than covering and positioning, but these two things were only because the user themselves was creative in finding cover, not hitting X to auto cover and not be able to get hit.). Modern FPS are very dumbed down in my opinion (I pick one up and in an hour I have it mastered and am out getting 2nd/1st on leaderboards), whereas classic (and TRUE) FPS took time, patience, practice, and skill.
And I am not digressing here. I think that if you like current console FPS games, then you should play them. If you want a more intuitive, skillbased experience (that hearkens back to the user being in control), try GW2, you might really enjoy it. As with all games, its really easy to circle-strafe easy enemies; but once skill starts separating itself from casual or "noob" play, with people specializing builds more, etc, you will see a vast difference between the great PVPers and the noob. I'll use UT99 as an example: when it first came out basically everyone played decently, then slowly people started separating themselves, servers settings were built for hardcore and specific play, and skill, intuition and teamwork became the keys. It feels weird comparing GW2 PVP to an FPS, but this is the case, imho.

Well what you are using is not logic at all, so I dislike what you call logic. Just watching a video is not like you playing at all. You do not know what the guy is doing, or how he got those skills, or why he is using those skills instead of the other ones. You simply do not know because you have not played the game. You cannot get a feel for the game or the combat by watching a video. That is not even logic, its simple common sense.
Using your logic nobody would ever need to test drive a car because I saw someone else driving the car on my 50" HD TV, so its just like me driving it. You are not even riding in the car someone else is driving by just watching a video. You cannot get a feel for the game, the combat, the pace via a video. You can see the animations, the spell effects and a basic understand of how combat works but you cannot know how all the combat works unless you play it.
Lets use your logic again shall we. I watch NHL Hockey highlights on Youtube all the time as I am a huge hockey fan but just because I watched them on Youtube in HD, does not mean I can do what they do or that I am basiclly doing what they are doing because I am watching it on HD.
I stand by my statement that you lack common sense and logic. The only way to know if you are going to like a video game or not is to play the video game. Just like most things in life, unless you try it first hand, you will not know for sure if you like it or not.
For example I loved EQ1, if you go and watch combat video's on EQ1, you will ask yourself how the hell did I like that game, it looks like crap, the combat was slow and borning but in reality I loved EQ1, including the combat and have not found a game like it since playing it for 6+ years.
Common sense and logic state that if you do not like themepark games, then you will not like a newly released themepark game. Its that simple.

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?
I pretty much stopped reading when you said $60 is a lot in this day and age. If that is true in your life, IMO you shouldn't bother playing video games. You should be busting your ass to get a better job or figure out how to make cuts in your budget so you can save money. And I'm not saying this to be a jerk, I'm saying it as what I think is good advice.
If, on the other hand, you were just being facetious, that's fine, but then I would ask why you would worry so much about "wasting" $60 on a video game.
It sounds from the rest of your post that GW2 isn't the game for you. Mainly because you don't seem to have much of an attention span or you are extremely jaded with video games. Good luck finding a way to spend your $60.

Playing MMOs is kind of like gambling, because you are essentially gambling your money on something that has a probability to go certain ways.
Well, buying MMOs might be, perhaps. Playing them doesn't seem to involve any strong risks (except long-term risks like heart disease and diabetes).
I look at it as more as a cheap date night. If you can get away with dinner for two in a restaurant in my town for only sixty bones, you're a really cheap date :P
The entertainment budget regularly handles expenditures of this nature, many times a year.
So this week, there's an MMO out. Skip the date, purchase the box. At worst, I've risked a dinner vs N hours of entertainment.
N might be small, but almost certainly longer than dinner. It might be a great deal longer.
If you expect N to be a great deal longer, you will see it differently, undoubtedly. You're created a one-tailed expectation for yourself; the game can perform worse than you expected, but it can't perform better.
Fanboy? Same one-tailed curve...the game can perform worse than you expect (not everything is shiny sparkles), but it can't really perform better than you expect.
Can a pessimist, expecting nothing, escape this trap? Probably not; can anyone really ever expect nothing? Why spend money at all?
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

Actually, that's supposed to be level 80 JUST from crafting, without gathering or exploring (You get xp for finding new areas you haven't visited)
So there you go. Play it as a pacifist. You don't even have to kill anything in the tutorial (Let other players kill for you).
Walk around without weapons equipped (So you don't accidentally stab a bunny or something), use your utilities for stealth and speed and whatnot.
Explore the world, gather stuff, craft, try and hit 80. :D
This lets you avoid combat (Which I still think is good, but you don't even like the appearance of it, so I'm not going to bother trying to convince you), but still see the world. It's win/win, or something like that.

Let us use my logic to explain your logic. Let's say you saw someone else test drive a car on TV.
If I watched 50 videos with full commentary on the Nissan 350z, you're saying I would still not have the right to an opinion until I drove it? Maybe, however those 50 videos have determined whether I want to drive it or not...based on the horsepower, accessibility, and looks. Of course I wouldn't know the pace and handling but the commentary usually tells you that.
You say you watch NHL highlights. First of all, that is a horrible comparison as that is a real life sport. It its ok to watch something digital of somebody playing something digital. DO YOU GET IT? I am watching somebody else play something that they are watching themselves. Real life comparisons have no role here. Second, those highlights would show you the scores of both teams, the main highlights of the game, and the players. Thus, you pretty much know how the game went.

I guess I'd be willing to argue with you on whether it's a spam clickfest, it's just that I figure even if I managed to fight through THAT obstacle, you still wouldn't like the look of the combat itself from an aesthetics viewpoint, so why should I even bother? Not going to try a semi-difficult argument just so I can bump into an insurmountable one. :D

Why is there this madness going on with analogies?
It helps to play the game to get a feel for the combat.
It helps to get a general perspective on how the game operates by watching videos.
Both things serve a purpose and both corners have a point. However, I don't take anyone's opinion about combat seriously if they have only watched videos.
Some random that has only watched videos and then states that the combat "pretty much boils down to two people mashing their 1-5 moving weirdly around" doesn't affect my opinion in the least. And it only serves to prove how little you were able to gather from watching the videos.

GW2 is not a Sandbox, though honestly, "sandbox" MMOs are largely pretty awful or too PvP focused, imho. EVE is undoubtedly the best, and it is a massive time sink that has a learning curve akin to a tidal wave -- not exactly how I want to start a new game.
You want an MMO where you can go build a cabin in the woods. That's great and all, but there are zero MMOs like that AFAIK. Certainly none where the world has any sort of depth. I mean, I like sandbox games, but I prefer ones where I don't feel that the world is made out of cardboard cutouts and where I don't have to invest my life into it. Eh, such games don't exist as MMOs (and are pretty rare outside of MMOs).
So if you don't want a Themepark, then I suggest you avoid GW2, because it's a next generation Themepark where the rides are more seemlessly blended into the world. It's more immersive, but that doesn't make it less of a Themepark.
Though, sounds like you are extremely picky about games. Doesn't seem like you enjoy most action titles if Devil May Cry is just mindless button-mashing to you. Doesn't seem like you enjoy a lot of Sandboxes, if too much freedom is overwhelming. Doesn't seem like you enjoy themeparks at all. I really don't see how you'll like GW2 unless you are completely wrong about your own preferences.
And I'm not sure why you are saying Skyrim has a better combat system. Skyrim's combat had basically no depth. Sure, it was better than previous ES titles, but it isn't like any of them had good combat. Bethesda just isn't very good at combat systems generally (it would seem), though Skyrim was a step up. But if you can't enjoy games that don't have FPS combat...then yeah, again, GW2 is not for you.
For what it is worth, movement and tactics matter in games like GW2 with PvP -- oh, but I guess if it isn't an FPS then running behind something or avoid an attack is "moving wierdly around". Heck, they even matter in WoW though not as much. But you give the distinct impression that the interface and targeting system are deal-breakers.
At this point, besides potentially Mount and Blade, I'm somewhat curious as to what games you've actually liked. You've seemed to have eliminated the vast majority of games out there.

I have a closet full of game boxes collecting dust...RIFT, WoW, AoC, SWTOR, to name a few MMO's, not to mention all of the RPG, stategy, simulation, etc...all of which I paid for and tried. Most I've given up on for one reason or another - However, I can assure you it was NEVER because of a video or review created by someone else.
I'm not waiting for reviews to be specific to the OP. I have pre-purchased my copy of GW2 and even had some time from my busy schedule at work to play in the stress test yesterday. It was fun and I can see staying for awhile...until Elder Scrolls MMO release.
Personally, I am kind of tired of the same 'ol MMO game. I long for the next MMO that feels like EQ1 or vanilla WoW did years ago. Not in mechanics, but generates the same, "I think about playing all day" effect. I don't even know what that looks like, but I'm not a game developer - I will know it when I play it.
I pretty much have $20 a month burning a hole in my pocket every month for something awesome to occupy my time and allow me to connect with my gaming friends. If that's GW2 for a while...then so be it.
However, I would never take someone else's word for it.
If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand.

As for the combat I had the most fun in sPVP, that's where you start to feel like a champion.

You would have a general idea of the Nissan 350z but you would not get a feel for how the car drives, or how you feel driving it until you drove it yourself. You would not go out and buy a Nissan 350z based on watching 50, 100, 200 video's. You would test drive the car first. Like a normal person would do even after doing all their homework before hand. Even with all that homework and study, you would still need to drive the car to get a feel for it yourself.
How is that horrible comparison? Lets try a different one. If I watch a youtube video of a guy jumping his dirt bike over 30 cars, does that mean that by watching I just jumped a dirt bike over 30 cars? If you want to go video game to video game, we can do that as well. EQ1, go watch combat video of EQ1 and tell me the combat is half as fun as it was to play the game? I can tell you that watching EQ1 combat video's makes me wonder how I could have ever played that game but the fact is that after playing the game. I know the video's do not do it justice.
Its not hard, unless you have tried something, you cannot know if you will like it or not (for the most part). Video games fall into that. Unless you play a video game than you cannot know for sure if you will like it or not. This is not saying you cannot judge the game based on the video's but to say that you know how combat works because you watched a video is just wrong.

Yet you also are secretly hoping that someone will say something to you to convince you to like this game?
Do these goals seem contradictory?
Are you actually looking for an honest discussion?

While the world out there gets smaller and smaller, the world we live in gets wider, larger, farther away.
With the click of a button we bring everything into our livingrooms and offices, the world at our fingertips. Television and internet bring natural catastrophe, man-made disaster and human drama, love and violence, astounding beauty and grisly horror up close and personal. Via the means of in-your-face news, we never need miss anything ever again and we feel as if we are there. Reach out and touch the screen, turn up the volume and listen to the wailing of voices, the rumbling of the earth, the rushing of water and the deafening noise of the bombs. Miners are trapped deep in the bowels of the earth and we are down there with them, a tsunami strikes on the other side of the world and there we are, watching the raging waters with those perched, terrified and awed, on a hilltop just out of reach. Explosions, bombs, hurricanes and there we are in the center of the action. Sitting warm and safe in our own homes far away, we become, nonetheless, a part of the action. No longer must we wait days or even weeks for the news to reach us in impersonal musty black and white. No more whispers in town squares or behind church stalls nor gossip and speculation over the dinner table or at the corner bar once the news has traveled over road and ocean to reach us, filtered, diluted and hazy. No longer do we need to use our imaginations to fill in the gaps or feel the emotions felt by those immediately affected, the survivors or the rare reporter who dares inch his way towards whatever he needs to bring to the rest of the world. Distance is now an illusion and within minutes, nay seconds can we, too, see and feel, experience and share what happens anywhere, absolutely anywhere on this now tiny, tiny planet of ours.
We travel, we move from one country to another with ease, comfort and convenience and experience strange, exotic cultures without needing weeks and months to return home again. We step onto an airplane and within the day, one rotation of the earth we now know by heart, we are back in the arms of those whom we hold most dear. When we have the means the ways are surely there.
Through the magic of telephones, Skype and e-mail we can now visit loved ones in the
farthest corners of the globe as if they were at the other end of the apartment. Voices are strong, loud and clear, their faces smile at us out of the screen bringing back memories of old Jetsons cartoons and the fascination those futuristic videophones in their extremely cool Skypad apartment hovering far above the earth created in our young, naïve minds. We get the news of joy, celebration and birth or illness and death, share it all as it happens and be there, flying faster than the wind, before the warm bundle of joy is brought home or the body laid to rest.
Thanks to modern technology, what just a generation ago was only experienced through science fiction and the imagination of writers, directors and special effect artists, we now communicate with dozens of people at a time, family, friends and strangers, with the mere click of a switch, the ping of a button. We announce our news and pour out our souls to virtual strangers and the sympathy spills in from the four corners of the world from people whom we've never met nor seen. Tragedy strikes and we can give money, donate food and clothing in the place of a warm hug or comforting words.
This past week, we have seen destruction, tragedy and war. We watched as the earth trembled, homes were washed away, the sky lit up with the fire of bombs and filled with radioactive plumes of smoke and although we see it all as it happens, breath held, eyes wide with horror and dismay, yet how far do we feel at the same time? Far in our helplessness and inability to act, to help, to comfort, to truly understand. I have also, once again, realized how difficult is the life of an expat in all of the excitement and discovery; no one can understand as an expat just how far away far is. A dear, dear friend lost her father and we cried together at the loss, her own stirring up mine. We cried together at the helplessness we feel as expats living so very far from our families, at how fast and easy it is these days to travel over land and sea yet how difficult and complicated. No, we cannot drop everything at a moment's notice, leave husband and job behind to rush to the bedside of loved ones who may need us. Questions nag at us, do we go, do we wait, is it really necessary or will it be more important next week, because traveling for a day or longer one cannot jump over there then back again and repeat the following week. We live with the burden, the guilt of not being there haunts us every single day until it burns into our heart and eats away at our soul, but our two distant lives, separated by miles and miles, pull us back and forth, back and forth in a never-ending question mark.
And now, at times like these, we realize just how huge this planet is, how great is the world, how small we are.
- Victor Borge
And at times like these, we switch off the television set, turn off the computer and go into the kitchen and bake. What we need is a little comfort and I find it in little handfuls of chocolate cake topped with something rich and creamy and slightly bitter, the better to wash away bittersweet tears. These delicate, moist, light cupcakes are full of heavenly, comforting chocolate flavor with a dash of the warmth of espresso. Each is topped with a dollop, just enough, of a bittersweet Mocha Frosting, improvised, made with about half a cup leftover Bittersweet Mocha Sauce whipped with half a cup fresh mascarpone until just fluffy enough, just creamy enough, just chocolatey enough. Just perfect. Now take one or two of these little cupcakes, set the plate on a tray with a mug of hot café au lait or milky tea and curl up in your favorite armchair and sit and listen to the silence as you think of only the wonderful times you've had with people you love.
With Bittersweet Mocha Mascarpone Frosting
6 ounces (175 grams) flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
5 ounces (150 grams) sugar
1 tsp fine espresso powder
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup (150 ml) warm milk
2/3 cup (150 ml) vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Line 12 regular-size muffin cups with pretty paper liners. There should also be enough batter left over for 4 or 5 mini cupcakes as well.
Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, sugar and espresso powder in a large mixing bowl and whisk to blend. In a separate mixing bowl or a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the warm milk (heat cool milk for about 30 seconds in the microwave), the oil, eggs and vanilla.
Now it is simply a question of pouring the wet ingredients into the dry and blending well either with a whisk, a wooden spoon or a hand mixer, although I prefer using a whisk here. The best method for doing this so you don't end up with stuff splattered all over your countertop and so you end up with perfectly smooth, lump-free batter is to first make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour about a quarter of the liquid ingredients into the well and, with small, brisk circular movements, whisk with just enough of the dry until you have a thick, smooth, lump-free batter in the center. Add some more of the liquid, pull in a bit more of the dry, and briskly whisk again until aha! your batter is perfectly smooth. Continue until all the dry ingredients have been incorporated into your (now) lump-free batter, add any remaining liquid and give it a go. Pour the batter carefully into your cupcake cups (transferring the batter into a large measuring cup with a spout makes this an easy, clean process), filling about ¾ full.
Bake until the center of your cupcakes are risen, slightly cracked and just firm to the touch, set but still moist in the center, About 25 minutes more or less depending on your oven.
Remove the cupcake tin to racks, let cool for about a minute then very carefully lift each cupcake out onto a rack to cool completely before frosting. They are, I might add, just scrumptious without frosting as well.
These cupcakes are also perfect frosted with my Simple Chocolate Buttercream Frosting or a Chocolate Ganache chilled just until thick enough to spread.

Butter is OK after allMarch 27,2014Julia Child, goddess of fat, is beaming somewhere. Butter is back,
and when youre looking for a few chunks of pork for a stew, you can resume
searching for the best pieces the ones with the most fat. Eventually, your friends will stop glaring at you as if youre trying to kill them.
That the worm is turning became increasingly evident a couple of weeks ago, when a meta-analysis published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine found that theres just no evidence to support the notion that saturated fat increases the risk of heart disease. (In fact, theres some evidence that a lack of saturated fat may be damaging.) The researchers looked at 72 different studies and, as usual, said more work including more clinical studies is needed. For sure. But the days of skinless chicken breasts and tubs of I Cant Believe Its Not Butter! may finally be drawing to a close.
The tip of this iceberg has been visible for years, and were finally beginning to see the base. Of course, no study is perfect and few are definitive. But the real villains in our diet sugar and ultra-processed foods are becoming increasingly apparent. You can go back to eating butter, if you havent already.
This doesnt mean you abandon fruit for beef and cheese; you just abandon fake food for real food, and in that category of real food you can include good meat and dairy. I would argue, however, that you might not include most industrially produced animal products; stand by.
Since the 1970s almost everyone in this country has been subjected to a barrage of propaganda about saturated fat. It was bad for you; it would kill you. Never mind that much of the nonsaturated fat was in the form of trans fats, now demonstrated to be harmful. Never mind that many polyunsaturated fats are chemically extracted oils that may also, in the long run, be shown to be problematic.
Never mind, too, that the industrys idea of low fat became the emblematic SnackWells and other highly processed low-fat carbs (a substitution that is probably the single most important factor in our overweight/obesity problem), as well as reduced fat and even fat-free dairy, on which it made billions of dollars. (How you could produce fat-free sour cream is something worth contemplating.)
But lets not cry over the chicharrones or even nicely buttered toast we passed up. And lets not think about the literally millions of people who are repelled by fat, not because it doesnt taste good (any chef will tell you that fat is flavor) but because they have been brainwashed.
Rather, lets try once again to pause and think for a moment about how it makes sense for us to eat, and in whose interest it is for us to eat hyper-processed junk. The most efficient summary might be to say eat real food and avoid anything that didnt exist 100 years ago.
You might consider a dried apricot (one ingredient) versus a Fruit Roll-Up (13 ingredients, numbers two, three and four of which are sugar or forms of added sugar). Or you might reflect that real yogurt has two or three ingredients (milk plus bacteria, with some jam or honey if you like) and that the number in Breyers YoCrunch Cookies n Cream Yogurt is unknowable (there are a few instances of and/or) but certainly at least 18.
Many things have gone awry with the way we produce food. And it isnt just the existence of junk food but the transformation of ingredients we could once take for granted or thought of as healthy. Indeed, meat, dairy, wheat and corn have become foods that frequently contain antibiotics and largely untested chemicals, or are produced using hybrids or methods that have increased yield but may have produced unwanted results.
Although the whole avoid saturated fat thing came about largely because regulators were too timid to recommend that we eat less meat, meat in itself isnt bad; its about quantity and quality. So at this juncture it would be natural for a person who does not read volumes of material about agriculture, diet and health to ask, If saturated fat isnt bad for me, why should I eat less meat?
The best current answer to that: Its possible to eat as much meat as we do only if its grown in ways that are damaging. Theyre damaging to our health and the environment (not to mention the tortured animals) for a variety of reasons, including rampant antibiotic use; the devotion of more than a third of our global cropland to feeding animals; and the resulting degradation of the environment from that crop and its unimaginable overuse of chemicals, soil and water.
Even if large quantities of industrially produced animal products were safe to eat, the environmental costs are demonstrable and huge. And so the argument eat less meat but eat better meat makes sense from every perspective. If you raise fewer animals, you can treat them more humanely and reduce their environmental impact. And we can enjoy the better butter, too.

It's hard to say a regular season game doesn't matter, but this past Friday night, when the Wando football team traveled to Sumter for a non-region contest, there wasn't much to be gained or lost by the final result.
The Warriors had already clinched third place in its region behind Goose Creek and Stratford. They secured a spot in the 4A Division I playoffs and will face a road game at top seed Byrnes in the opening round.
On Friday night, fighting for not much more than morale, Wando lost 24-12 to finish its season with a 4-7 record.
Junior running back Kenny Waring rushed 20 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in the first half but did not play after intermission. Sumter took a 7-0 lead with just under six minutes left in the first quarter, but Wando answered with Waring's touchdown and a failed PAT to reduce its deficit to 7-6.
The Gamecocks extended their lead to 21-6 at halftime after two touchdowns came off Wando turnovers -- a Waring fumble and a quarterback Bailey Hart interception.
In the third quarter, the Warriors scored on a six-yard scamper by running back Nick Taylor, and Sumter added a 32-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
Defensively, junior defensive back Kort Stutz led Wando in tackles with six solo and four assists. Junior linebacker Tyler Ragsdale added six solo and two assists, including one for a loss.
Wando was handed the No. 16 seed in the 16-team 4A Division I postseason bracket and will travel to No. 1 Byrnes (10-1) on Friday. The Rebels' only loss came at Northwestern (11-0) in overtime, Sept. 13.
Byrnes, which has won 11 state titles including the past two championships, averages 56.6 points per game while allowing 24.4 points.

I believe so and here's why. The 7.62x39 is a tapered cartridge and therefore requires much less force to extract vs. a "tube" style cartridge that inherently has more friction such as the 5.56 design. Thus, a smaller extractor on an AR style bolt makes sense to me. Or a fluted chamber like the Germans did with the G3.if the extractor was made a bit thinner--giving a little more meat for the lugs to hold to the bolt? would the extractor still be functional???
I don't know how small it could go, but couldn't you also have an extractor that straddles a lug, providing 2 exractor fingers touching the base? Just thinking aloud.

Demian Maias Manager Hints At Possible Tarec Saffiedine Fight - FightLine.com
"The division is scrambled," said Maia's manager Eduardo Alonso to TATAME. "Now, Demian is among the top. I do not know if it pays to wait. There's a Strikeforce champion coming, so we'll see who shows up."
Alonso was referencing Tarec Saffiedine coming in as the final Strikeforce welterweight champion. He defeated Nate Marquardt on the last Strikeforce card to take the gold. His UFC debut has not been announced.
Maia now has three straight wins since dropping down from middleweight. He earned two first round submissions before going to a decision with Fitch.

The Jan. 24 meeting was hosted at the Fire Station One building and was led by Commissioner Tommy Robinson. Commissioners Larry Childs, Jonathan Pitts, Daylon Martin, and Chairman Preston Hawkins were also in attendance.
Robinson began the meeting acknowledging the existence of the water problems of the residents, which is basically having dry water wells.
"We are here because you are having problems. We're not making any promises, but we are here to gather information and create a database for future expansion," he said.
The commissioner said some money is left in the county's Special Purpose Local Options Sales Tax account and explained one-cent sales tax collections is the only resource for expanding waterlines.
