"Armpit" in English can be translated as either sobaco or axila in Spanish. Is each term used in different regions, or are they both used across the Spanish-speaking world? What is the difference, or are they exact synonyms? If they are synonyms, which is more common?
In Colombia both forms are used about equally. I prefer axila since is a more technical term and sobaco is perhaps used more often when referring to animals. There's a Colombian saying that goes like this:
Again, sobaco is more colloquial and axila is more formal/technical and they refer to the same part of the body on both, animals and humans.
In the Dominican Republic, sobaco is also used to refer to someone with bad odor on his armpit. See this dictionary of Dominicanismos by Colonial Tour and Travel
If you visit the Dominican Republic and someone tells you "tú tienes sobaco," is very likely that the person isn't referring to your body parts but rather urging you to take a shower and get a hold of a deodorant as soon as possible.
In several countries the word sobaco is considered vulgar and unsophisticated.
"Sobaco" is more informal, I think it is better to say "axila" (at least in Ecuador).
In Panama city, "axila" is the word that we use to refer to the armpit. "Sobaco" is used for people from the "Guetto"
In Mexico it applies the same as in other countries. "Sobaco" is vulgar and if you do use it, its when someone has bad odor in their armpits (te huele el sobaco, hueles a sobaco). Axila is when you are actually referring to the armpit as a body part.

The colder it gets, the more we want to store food for winter. We crave those juicy, fat proteins, such as prime ribs. Fortunately, we can still get that incredible flavor by using a leaner source of meat! Try this-you won't be disappointed!
Serves: 4
Preparation Time: 2 hours
4-5 lbs roast (standing, weight with bones top fat trimmed, room temperature)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ -1 cup chopped onions
1 celery stalk chopped
A pinch of kosher salt
3/5 tbsp black pepper (freshly ground)
3/5 tbsp dried rosemary (crushed)
1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Clean up the meat by cutting out the saturated fats.
3. Place in a roasting pan. Add mushrooms, onion, celery, rosemary, salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cover in foil, cook in the oven for 1 hour 45 minute - 2 hours, keeping an eye on the roast.
5. When roast is done cooking, take out of the oven and let sit for a few minutes to settle. Serve and enjoy!
Tip from Binks: The most important thing is to get LEAN cuts of beef!

|Hunter on Pro Bowl Ballot
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Wednesday, 27 October 2010 17:07
Former Appalachian State University all-American and current Denver Broncos standout Jason Hunter (Fayetteville, N.C./E.E. Smith) is one of 32 outside linebackers on the AFC ballot for the 2011 National Football League Pro Bowl, the NFL announced this week.
A fifth-year pro, Hunter signed with Denver in August after being released by the Detroit Lions midway through training camp. Despite entering camp late with the Broncos and moving to outside linebacker in Denver's 3-4 defensive scheme after playing defensive end for his entire pro career, Hunter has appeared in all seven games with six starts in his first year with the club. He ranks fourth on the squad with 30 tackles, second with two sacks and is tied for the team lead after making his first career interception two weeks ago versus the New York Jets.

I can't help but vehemently disagree with Brenda Conner's letter ("Terrorists Beware" Sun Advocate June 8), condoning our American soldier's treatment of the Iraqi prisons.
America lost immeasurable credibility and more authority resulting from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Determined and tough interrogations are essential in war, but what occurred at Abu Ghraib was heinous. We were nationally shamed by such behavior and rightly so. As a nation we knew immediately it was all wrong. Many Arab leaders are moral hypocrites, but America should not fall to that level.
Our enemies might commit such atrocities, but we don't. And more eminently, their actions should not dictate our actions. To say we can act like that because they do makes us as weak and morally bankrupt as they.
Aren't we the good guys in this horrid conflagration? But what if the good guys lose their moral compass? Then what? America is not what those prison pictures show us to be.

|Watauga County Will Help Tweetsie Finance Land for Economic Stimulus
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Monday, 23 June 2008 15:34
The Watauga County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed the movement to help buy the land on which Tweetsie operates during a public hearing held on Monday evening.
Two residents spoke against the county helping Tweetsie finance land. One of these residents said Tweetsie's owners and stockholders knew about needed renovations years ago and did nothing about it.
Although two residents spoke out against the movement, six residents spoke out in favor of the county's assistance. Supporters of the movement included Mayor of Blowing Rock, J.B. Lawrence, owner of Tweetsie Railroad, Chris Robbins, and members of local chambers of commerce, development, and tourism groups.
Tweetsie will have 6 years to pay

Planning a candy buffet for an event sounds really, really fun (what's not to love?), but when you get down to business, there are a lot of decisions to be made.
With so many candy types, colors, shapes, textures, sizes—and just as many containers, scoops, labels, and table props to consider—two g's come to mind: "gulp" and "gasp."
Enter Amy Atlas …
If you aren't already familiar with the name, Amy Atlas is the goddess of dessert tables and candy buffets. Her work is like looking at a fashion runway with so much attention paid to color, texture, style, and accessories. (If you need to see to believe, click here.)
With such talent and experience, we turned to Amy to answer frequently asked questions about candy buffets … and dish on her highly anticipated new book.
Candy.com: The customer service team at Candy.com is constantly asked, "How much candy should I buy?" and "Is there a rule of thumb for estimating container capacity?" (i.e., How many pounds of salt water taffy or M&M's will I need to fill a half-gallon apothecary jar?) How do you calculate quantities for your own events?
Amy Atlas: As a basic rule, I suggest 6 to 8 ounces of candy per guest. However, if you are looking to make a more bountiful display, you may have to order more depending on your design.
Unfortunately, there is no rule of thumb for estimating candy per container. I use the following guidelines, though …
- - Salt water taffy: 1 1/2 lbs per half-gallon container
- Malt balls: 2 1/2 lbs per half-gallon container
- M&M's: 3 lbs per half-gallon container
Candy.com: When ordering candy for an event, how far in advance do you suggest placing the order?
Amy Atlas: I recommend ordering at least 10 days to two weeks prior to the event to ensure the candy will get there on time and to avoid additional shipping fees. The candy will stay fresh so long as you the candy is kept in the packaging and stored at room temperature.
Candy.com: Should you buy less candy per person if you're also including cake/cookies/cupcakes on your dessert table?
Amy Atlas: Adding cake/cookies/cupcakes to your dessert spread will round out your dessert table and you'll probably need less candy. Another factor in determining how much candy you will need is what type of vessels you are using for the candy. If you are using small bowls, then you won't necessarily have to purchase a lot to make it look pretty.
Candy.com: What are the most practical containers/vessels to use?
Amy Atlas: Containers with wide openings are the most practical so guests can easily access the candy with scoops. I love these containers.
Candy.com: Should you provide a scoop for every container?
Amy Atlas: Yes, you absolutely should have a scoop for each container. You will not want flavors of certain candies mixed with others, especially if food allergies are a concern. Having multiple scoops also helps ensure that guests won't be waiting for others to finish scooping.
Candy.com: What are the best types of candies to use in a candy buffet?
Amy Atlas: My favorites to use are jelly beans, M&M's, and malt balls.
Candy.com: What is your favorite candy color palette?
Amy Atlas: I love mixing and matching unexpected color palettes. Currently, I'm loving neon pink and yellow paired with a grayish lavender accent color.
Candy.com: What type of favor bags or boxes do you like to use for guests to take home candy?
Amy Atlas: I often personalize bags like these for the clients to send their guests off with. However, popcorn boxes and muslin pouches are also great containers.
Candy.com: What are some ways to create different heights on a candy buffet, so it's more eye-appealing?
Amy Atlas: You can use vessels in various heights. Also, think outside the "vessel" and use fun containers that tie into your theme. For a rustic dessert bar, tree trunks can add the perfect amount of height while a travel themed party would look fantastic with small luggage containers.
Candy.com: Do you have any tips for staying organized while planning a candy buffet or dessert table?
Amy Atlas: Create a mockup of the design before the event to get a sense of whether you need to add additional candy/desserts (or if you have planned for too much and you need to scale back). Keep an organized list for when all of your candy and desserts are being delivered and remember to pack candy scoops for the event!
Candy.com: We're dying for your new book, Sweet Designs: Bake It, Craft It, Style It to be released on April 24! What can you tell us about it?
Amy Atlas: The book is the first book created for making sweets/candy tables. While the pictures are beautiful, it is not intended to be a coffee table book. I created it so people can use it as a reference not only for inspiration, but also as a guide for all of my sweet styling tips. Think of it as a candy table bible. The book has over 100 of my recipes, 75 of my crafting instructions, and is filled with my styling tips. There are more than 250 never-seen-before photos as well!

After looting some 30 percent of selected bank account holders' deposits in Cyprus on behalf of the so-called "Troika"— the European Union (EU), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the European Central Bank (ECB) — eurozone boss Jeroen Dijsselbloem told reporters this week that taking money from savers in other crisis-hit nations to prop up banks could become the norm. Across Europe, analysts, experts, economists, markets, and especially savers recoiled in horror, prompting the increasingly discredited Dutch Finance Minister to backtrack slightly. In Cyprus, meanwhile, anger is boiling over as authorities prepare to impose capital controls in an effort to avoid a full-blown bank run.
On March 23, when the EU and IMF plan demanded that the seizure of savings apply to all account holders, eurozone chief Dijsselbloem refused to rule out similar heists — authorities disingenuously referred to the theft as a one-time "stability tax" — in other euro-area nations. Despite claiming that no other countries were being targeted yet, the remarks sparked panic across Europe, especially throughout the economically devastated southern regions. Even bank CEOs called the move "full-blown socialism" while predicting the potential implosion of the single currency.
Earlier this week, Dijsselbloem claimed that the heist underway in Cyprus, which will wipe out up to 40 percent of large-account deposits, "does fit into the new approach towards bank rescues that is gradually evolving." Savers in Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and beyond rightly wondered whether they would be the next victims — especially when the eurozone chief said he did not regret his comments.
In a move that almost seemed calculated to add more fuel to the already-blazing inferno, Dijsselbloem — one of the key architects behind the ECB-EU-IMF bailout scheme — then reiterated this week that anyone with savings in the eurozone could become fair game for looting. While claiming that shareholders and bondholders would be the first to take mandatory so-called "haircuts" lawlessly imposed by international officials, the single-currency area finance chief acknowledged that depositors could also be subject to government-enforced thievery to bail out banks and governments.
"If there is a risk in a bank, our first question should be 'Okay, what are you in the bank going to do about that? What can you do to recapitalize yourself?'," the Dutch eurozone chairman was quoted as saying in Reuters and the Financial Times. "If the bank can't do it, then we'll talk to the shareholders and the bondholders, we'll ask them to contribute in recapitalizing the bank, and if necessary the uninsured deposit holders." In other words, "if necessary," anyone who has over about $128,000 in the bank could see their savings plundered.

this outburst/crying jag was inspired by me turning on CMT's "my big redneck wedding," which we enjoyed watching together very much.
in other news, I get a boot on thursday, my mom has knee surgery on 2/2, and my leg feels pretty healed, fwiw.
i've come to realize that mike knew he'd be dying soon, and he kind of tried to tell me. it's hard. his timing was for the best, with everything that was going on in his life. he left just the right loose ends untied and stuff so I wouldn't get stuck dealing with things his ex was so much better-equipped to handle.

Conscious Evolution
Lyrics By: Johnny Dowd, Jeb Puryear, Music By: Jeb Puryear, Official Lyrics
Conscious evolution in front of your eyes
Conscious evolution in the back of your mind
Conscious evolution go on spread the word
We're all busy learning on a learning curve
Wounded in the battle lying in the weeds
Immersed in contemplation of history's evil deeds
He offered up to free will, free will flatly replied
Conscious evolution's all there is on your side
Conscious evolution its what turns me on
There's got to be a difference between right & wrong
All down through the ages struggling with the same thing
With a vision bold as love won't you help me sing
Man is just an animal the scientists say
For the sins of the father the son must pay
Jesus said to Buddha give Mohammed a call
Conscious evolution is the writing on the wall
Here's a recent show during which it was played. Looks like a nice, long one.

I'd been sleeping with less leg elevation the past two nights. I'm going to go back to the old, primary elevator. I did pick a scab on my lower leg, just above my cast. I've got some clear blood stagnation, but I've also got a plum blossom needle handy. I'll fix that up a little later.

Life reality - Vayechi by Yosef Serebryanski
It is ironical that the words "life" and "file" are spelled with the same letters. Much of our life's journey is buried or forgotten, but not irretrievable. Periodically things seem to pop up when we least expect them. Sometimes a part of us dies and/or unexpectedly comes back to life. We wonder what dream it was that we lived through or held dear. Amazingly our journey progresses and we quickly become acclimated to a new way of life. Sometimes we cannot even remember (the importance or magic of) life's priorities (good or bad) as we used to know them.
Life is blown into a person and is constantly renewed and changing. This is what it says about man being created; back and forth I was formed (Psalms 139,5). The movement of life constantly flows in and out of a person. In order to exist, people have limited themselves to a specific level of perception that has become their truth.
The Bible was translated for human consumption in a very physical way. It was not translated according to the spiritual and often not even according to the root meaning of words. More importantly it could or should have been interpreted in a language that constantly reflects the present. The result of the purely physical translation has been that society remains stuck on a level that they perceive is the ultimate truth.
Sometimes it is imperative to reveal the truth. This is not always an easy task, as people tend to reject the truth when it is contrary to the lies that they have lived with during the course of their lifetimes. However, unless someone is willing to attempt to openly express the truth, (even though people may be unwilling to listen) they will never have a chance to know truth. In order to elevate people or create an opening it is sometimes necessary to speak to people on a level that is beyond their present perspective.
Sometimes our beliefs are also a form of protection. Jacob was protected, while his children had to fight in order to create the protection. There are times that peace seems to come through talk or negotiation. Yet there are also times that the only avenue to peace seems to be through war and destruction or annihilation. These issues relate to the way that nations conduct business or the way various spiritual powers work.
Anticipation or expectations of the future vary for different individuals. Many people simply believe, as they were taught, that they will personally make a connection with God or spirit in an unknown future. Many believe in a wonderful physical or spiritual future.
How many people are so busy that they never think about connecting to the Creator in the present? What will it take to motivate people to understand that the only time we can truly act or react is the present? Projections for future bliss that prevent positive current action are no more than crippling preoccupations with shallow focus.
When a person who lives in the present passes on, a drastic change occurs in the world's balance. The mourning was heavy for Egypt (Genesis 50:11). The word in Hebrew for Egypt is mitzrayim. The root of the word is metzar a prison. People of the world are experiencing a difficult time, existing in the modern day "metzar" within the system that society and its leaders have created. They have no idea of where to turn for their answers. This will perpetually be the case unless people elect to make changes that are in their true interest, and not in superficial interests that are based in a superficial Truth.
We all exist in this world together. Each person fulfills an individual role that is part of the whole. Most of people's imaginations and beliefs regarding the future actually harm them by preventing them from instead of teaching them to connect with the Creator in the present. To be a true leader today, the leader needs to live in the present. Failing that leaves all people open to the problems that occur in society.
There have been times in history when openings occurred but the moment was not fully used and the time passed. We continue to try to solve our problems with the same methods that we have used in the past. The delay means that we will face bigger problems in the future.
In order to survive we must reveal another level of truth. The path to that is digging deeper within ourselves. Finding a new level of truth allows us to relate positively to changes that occur.
The words that we use are triggers that can generate destruction or blockages. Being selective about our thoughts and our verbal expression can help to open the blockages as well as direct our inner system back into the flow.
We are bombarded daily with many choices. Learning how to respond in sync with the flow is key to making our way into the future. We have the personal, international and universal responsibility to be ready for the proper change at the proper moment.

What I can't stand is dealing with fucking creditors and all this insurance bullshit. You can't get blood from a fucking stone ... People at the PT office said the case is being treated as a no-fault. LIKE I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THAT MEANS! Yeah, it was an accident -- it was nobody's fault (and the sensei who put me in the ring with someone of such mismatched height and weight runs the program, and I don't want him to get in trouble. He made a mistake. He lives with that every day. He had his knee shattered and his jaw broken, doing martial arts. He understands how much it hurt, and has sent me Chinese medicine to aid in healing. I don't want anything but to get paid back what has been laid out, so far, and to not have to lay out any more. 2/5 will be three months since this happened. My mom has knee surgery on 2/2. I need to be better and able to help her out, then. :hammer: :throw things: And I have bad PMS. I'd like my period already, please. Kthxbai.
I hate feeling like I can't get a job because I CAN'T FUCKING WALK. I hate my paperwork getting lost by my doctor's office -- I'd have $ to cover PT, and then some, if they hadn't lost that shit. Argh. I've gotten so good at making lemonade, but this shit just makes me want to throw in the towel, sometimes. ...
Okay. Enough. I hate when crying makes my head hurt. I need to sit/lay down, for a few minutes. Enter the Haggis, tonight. That's great PT. Costs less than real PT, too. Fuckers. Not that I don't pay a different price in exchange for concert tickets, but graphic design work and dealing w/one I know too well is a fair trade for nights out to see live music. Fortunately, there's no shortage of graphics work needed, on that end. Money would be better, but it would come with all the stress and BS, anyway, so I might as well get to see a show. I'm a little calmer now. I may delete this later. Whatever. I pitch fits once in a while, too. Not often, but, yeah, I'm very human.

Thank goodness!! (no word from nancy who loses paperwork yet, but I wasn't expecting her to get to it for a week or so. I have little hope, on that front.)

In my world of toddler-like achievements, today I stood up from a seated position on the toilet (which is lower than the chair at my desk) without touching the sink or the wall with my arms. Yay, leg strength.
I will have to refer G$ to this thread so after his surgery, he knows he's not the only one who has dealt with the ridiculous.
I want to walk, already. If it's 49% attitude, at least I know that part's got all cylinders firing.
I can't believe it's already late January. I guess time flies even if you're not having fun.

((my dad))
I said fuck it and made myself walk a little today. The little refers to the size of the steps I took with my right leg, as my left leg is the bum one. Slow and steady, though. A little more under-desk bike. Reps of knee bends and stuff. I used to be able to kick pretty high. I want to get all of my flexibility back.
Slight insurance drama with peaceful resolution this morning. The ins. company said I met my $100 deductible. You think? (I have about $10-$12k worth of bills from this. Can't wait to get back to coaching, though. Spring sign-ups are next weekend. I'll be there.)

I hope my cycle regulates itself, once I'm walking again. I didn't mind the ghost, last time, and I really don't mind skipping it, this time around, but I know I'll have some more peace of mind if it shows up and does its thing the way it's supposed to. If I get really concerned, I'll get acupuncture for it, and that'll get it back on track right away. ((acupuncture's effectiveness re: gyn stuff)) -- update -- it showed up the next day, or something. yay, back on track.
It feels good to be tired, at the end of the day.

I tried to climb the ladder to my loft (bed) earlier today. Now I hurt. I think it was good, though. Climbing a little step at PT isn't going to get me up the ladder better. I stuck the walker at the bottom of the ladder and the phone book on the floor so the first step is less of one. I know my sheet is totally covered with 3+ months of cat hair and dust. I should probably bring a clean sheet with me, next time I try to get up there. I love my bed. I'm worried about my knee, though. I'm glad I'm seeing the surgeon tomorrow. Maybe he knows how to fix it.

anyway, pt 3x/wk, and my mom's going to take me out with her where she goes birding to get me outside and walking around where there aren't lots of people during the day. heat helps. i'm so happy to be able to sleep in tomorrow. my friend's dad died on friday night, so i'm sure i'll visit her, one day this week. I offered to drive my grandmother to jersey to visit her best friend one day next week, too (kids don't have school, so no volunteering at the Y for her next week, so it'll be good if I can take her for a ride. good for my mom's sanity, too). blah, blah, blah. Adjusting to being on the generic version of one of my meds (it costs way less, but the lack of time-release is a PIA. I will deal with it, for now). Made it through vday without mike, for the first time. it's funny. the only holidays we shared were the Jewish holidays, last fall. He liked what he read at the links I sent him. I know from our time together that when the love is right, differences melt away and into each other and they just don't matter anymore. It was a wild, scary feeling, but it was cool. I'll never forget it. ((doors kicked open))

I could be taking ibuprofen, but it doesn't really occur to me.
Maybe next time.
Got acupuncture on my knee on Sunday night. I think it helped with range of motion and getting the sprain healed. We did a few points for my ankle, too, but apparently the shooting pain thing overrode any positive effects they may have had.
I'm tired. Looking forward to getting back to PT tomorrow morning. Not sure if I'll bring the wheelie walker with me, rather than crutches, but that would make sense, since the walker promotes a more natural gait (which I really need!).
I really need to be better yesterday, sprains or no sprains (I'm not really counting my knee anymore; my knee feels better, now).
Anyway, sleep is good.
I should vacuum my bedding tomorrow. Too much cat hair around has led to me waking up with a swollen eyelid. Very sexy.

I have four screws on the outside, two screws on the inside. The inside of my ankle bone screws are in an X (unlike the illustration), 'cause the part that broke off split in half. Hot stuff!

Contraindications: Lung Heat From Deficiency
so I reached into my Chinese pharmacy box and found a bottle. Going to start taking it tomorrow, after I eat. Taking something with geckos in it is kind of gross, but I'd eat something even less appealing, if it would help me get better faster. Seriously. I have had enough of this crap. Time to get better, yesterday. I want my bed back, my floor back, my life back. This is bullshit. Three months was plenty. I will channel all the healing energy floating around that's accessible and turn it into new/rebuilt muscle for me until I'm all better. And if I can get walking with a cane on my left side, I'll just do that and not do it at PT (where they want me to do hold it in my right hand, which just makes me walk funny and feel unstable). I hope tonight's ankle treatment is as effective as the other night's knee treatment was. That totally helped. I have a ton of faith in the herbs. I've yet to take herbs that haven't worked, and none of them have ever interacted poorly with my meds. The only thing I can't be ingesting in grapefruit, and avoiding that is not a problem.

My sister's kind of bummed out that she has to be home a lot to take care of her puppy. I kind of wonder if my stepmother is trying to sabotage her having a dog. I don't understand any reason why she needs to be home every two hours. Then again, the only puppies I ever helped raise were born in the bathtub. How is she supposed to go back to school next week, if she needs to be home every two hours? Something's fishy, here. What will be will be. Just sucks to read her bummin'. I've always wanted a golden retrieve mix of smaller stock, but I know not to get one until/unless I'm ready to have a kid (and children are more portable, anyway, 'cause most places allow children).
There is other drama over which I have no control and of which I have knowledge in strict confidence. I wish I didn't know about it. It's not nice. And it bothers me to need to pretend I don't know about it, 'cause part of me would like to ask some serious questions about why certain actions were taken. This, too, shall pass, I hope, and hopefully I will get some of the answers I seek, in the process, too. I hate trust violations. They can really fuck with a group, sometimes. (this is not related to board anything)
I am now hot and sweaty, and I realize my apartment is too small to use my trikke as an inconspicuous-looking rolling walker in (though it seems somewhat effective as one, it weighs 20 lbs and wouldn't be helpful on stairs, so, oh, well). Reinflating the tires' inner tubes a bunch was good exercise. I should probably take some more ibuprofen before I pass out. I'm getting there. I haven't gotten a sweat like this on in ages. The heat is on high, in the apartment (I can't control that).

by Yosef Serebryanski (an energy healer in Brooklyn, NY with whom I'm acquainted via a mutual friend on facebook)
The first movement is to flow with the flow of creation as it is connected to its source. Existing here and being connected with beyond keeps the flow and balance open. When that is blocked the imbalances seem to grow. Serving those who bend to the elements in this world confine us to those limitations and to their ultimate shortcomings.
How would you react if the oneness in existence was revealed today and you suddenly came to the realization that what you believed your entire lifetime to be the truth is actually false? Would you become angry? Would you blame yourself for not having seen the obvious? Would you feel betrayed or just totally confused?
It is simply amazing to observe how many people can see the same thing and yet perceive it differently. Some people can only process simple direction. Others have no ability whatsoever to see what is right in front of them. They have eyes but do not see, they have hearts but do not feel, they have ears but do not hear, they have brains but do not think.
Proper manners, respect, decency and honesty are all important qualities necessary to have a cooperative, working society. Yet, although civilization has progressed in some forms of knowledge, it is sorely lacking in these ethical traits. Laws are unenforceable because those for whom they are designated ignore them. People who do conduct themselves properly are the ones who usually suffer. The power mongers and the guilty continue to do what they want, thinking that they are "above the law."
Assisting people by lending money to them is a process that has gone haywire. Charging interest and destroying borrowers when they are unable to pay back is unethical and ungodly. The Torah refers to the practice of charging interest as "neshech", which means biting. Charging interest on loans is one of the accepted behaviors in society that ruins people's lives.
Far too often what a person does right is connected with their ego instead of with power beyond. Recognizing self-worth is important to getting things done, but a pumped up ego is a limitation that blocks one's way. There are people, who, although they are connected with a power beyond, are not balanced in this world. Working through an issue can free us from our bonds to that issue. However, we may become even more entangled as we further invest ourselves into the situation. These types of imbalances ultimately generate problems instead of solving them.
We live in a time and space where ego and other energies contrary to progress are constantly fighting to prevail, even as they (those negative forces) are approaching the day of their last breath.
Your soul, desire and possessions are on loan to you for a specific period of time. (Exodus 22:24) Through being an "ONI" – humble, you share yourself; you fulfill your responsibility to look after your soul so that when it is time to return it you can account for having cared for it properly.
When you will see the donkey of your enemy crouching under its load and you refrain from helping him, know that you should help him (Exodus 23:5). This sentence can be translated and explained in the following manner: 'If you think that the physical matter is your enemy; that it is flowing downwards under its load (it is not accomplishing its higher purpose), and you hold back or cease from helping it, removing your attitude and the load will help (you should work with it to refine it, not to break it).'
There are also times when the Torah says that something is so bad that it is necessary to discard the good along with the bad. It requires eyes, ears and wisdom to know how to make the proper choices.
And Moshe took the blood and sprinkled it on (for) the people; and he said behold blood of the covenant that Hashem has made with you (Exodus 24:8). Rabbi Eliezer Ashkenazi (born 1505) writes in his book (Maasei Hashem, Maasei Torah chapter 10, Parshas Mishpotim 53:3) that he sprinkled on the people but not on Aharon, Nodov, Avihoo and the seventy elders. A person who understands in depth Godliness does not need to make a covenant because he sees the truth of Godliness.
Let us utilize the opportunities that are presented to us as we pursue who we are. Strive to remain connected with the source of all existence. Be also resolved and determined to assist all who come (to us) for direction in connecting to the One who sustains the flow and universal order.
May we all be blessed with the ability to discern what it is that we may keep – and what it is that we must discard. Do not allow arrogance to triumph over love. Be giving, kind, and sharing of the special gifts you have received. Only by doing so can we help in the creation of a cohesive society in which everyone is aware of his or her purpose and mission.
With Blessings to all.
of course, I'm thinking about how it applies to walking again and stuff, and to the latest shit on here, and to the shit going on about which I'm not writing. I like his stuff. He packs it like granola bars. And I always learn new things (and either file or discard them).

occasional mike holes, but not bad, and not big. pretty peaceful.
better boundary-setting and communication on my part after excessive presence and an incident with another. talked it out. I need space and time to be alone with my thoughts, once in a while. getting my leg back to full use will help get me my life back more, in this respect. it will be great.
I lost a couple of pounds by my stomach. that's great. pants that didn't, fit again. I feel a little top-heavy, but I figure i'll see if I still feel that way, a week from now. body is working normally, otherwise. that's good.

Peter Tork has an advice column here: http://www.thedailyp...ork_apt209.html
Grieving is a topic covered in that column, that month. Here's what he had to say about duration of grieving:
Dear Mitch,
No, there is most certainly no time limit on grieving. I do believe there is a psychological limit, tho'. I don't know how exactly to put this, but (for starters), I am sure that if there is no let-up in the sadness, then there are unmet issues waiting to be dealt with. In other words, it's not the grief that matters but rather the underlying belief that some irreplaceable chance has been lost. Loss of a parent is always tough, but it's the least unnatural order of things, if you see what I'm saying. Perhaps you might check out some bereavement groups to hear how others are dealing with the same thing.
Still and all, it is actually not true that the loss of a parent is the loss of an irreplaceable chance. Whatever you feel you lost can be reclaimed in your life. It's not easy, as I can attest, but it can be done. Always and always I turn to community. I have found my greatest strength and growth, spiritual and psychological, from my communities and the members thereof. Stick with people who are on your side without ulterior motive, and you can't go too far wrong.
There's much more that this kicks up for me that I can't get into for space limitations, so I'm sorry if I can't be much more help in this forum. But I can promise that your situation is not remotely hopeless. As to those who are giving you grief about your grief, well, basically, and not to put too fine a point on it, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
He is good kitteh. Been a while since I've seen him play. I should check his schedule. He helped me out when I was in college, taught me to get to the root of what's up and address that. He's into Eastern medicine and zen and stuff, too.
I took my grandma to Jersey to visit her best friend today. Inspired by a joke of hers I overheard, I addressed some of the shit that has been going on (my concerns about it, while not letting on exactly what I know, 'cause I wish I didn't know and I'm sure she wishes I didn't know, too.
3 days in a row of PT ahead, unless some miracle sends me to Hampton. PT is just fine, by me (not that a show isn't great PT, too). Anyway, enough rambling.
I was at Mike's when phish tickets for Hampton went on sale, last fall. I tried to get tickets, but it didn't happen. As much as I'd like to be there this weekend, I wouldn't trade that weekend for all the phish tickets in the world (and I love phish!!). But, really, some things are cooler than phish, or Jerry (Mike would disagree ), or anything. Good times. The phone browser not playing nicely with ticketmaster and livenation is certainly an inconvenience, though. :hammer:

Sunny weather here for the next few days. Going to make the most of it and spend time walking outside on the boardwalk, where there is a rail I can hold on to.
It's happening! I'm actually getting better!! I need to increase my range of motion a ton, but the walking part is getting there.

CSU Provides Online Resource to Campuses Preparing for Flu Season
October 30, 2009
By Clara Potes-Fellow
To support campuses developing business continuity plans concerning the seasonal flu and H1N1 swine flu, CSU's Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching, (MERLOT) has developed a guide for integrating free online teaching and learning materials that can easily be used from any location with a computer and an internet connection.
"Periodically, campuses are faced with circumstances where the entire community, or a substantial part of it, is limited in their access to classrooms as a result of natural disasters, severe weather events, or concerns related to the spread of disease," said Gerry Hanley, CSU academic technology senior director and MERLOT's executive director. "In those circumstances www.merlot.org has been a useful resource for faculty and students."
In the past MERLOT has helped students and faculty who have become ill, or whose campus life has been completely disrupted like in the case of Hurricane Katrina. Teachers have been able to deliver class materials and students have kept up with classes and assignments through the online learning modules of MERLOT.
Merlot provides free access for everyone to virtual labs, simulations, tutorials, and online courses. Examples of links ready to be used are available at http://onlinecourses.merlot.org/showcase.html

|With a precise enough clock, it's possible to test the time-dilation effects predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity -- without a space ship. Writing this week in the journal Science, researchers at NIST describe their experiments using two highly-precise aluminum ion atomic clocks, linked by an optical fiber. Due to the precision of the clocks, they were able to observe differences in the passage of time over a height difference of just 33 centimeters, or at speeds as low as 20 miles per hour. We'll talk about the work and what it shows.

Democrats announced yesterday that they will filibuster the nomination of Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Tom Daschle said that "her record is so egregious that we have no choice but to filibuster;" no hint as to what that egregious record might be.
Another nominee, Jeffrey S. Sutton of Ohio, was confirmed to the 6th Circuit yesterday, on a nearly party-line vote, with only two Democrats voting for confirmation. While nothing the Senate does is (or should be) entirely free from politics, for two hundred years the judicial confirmation process was perceived as being mostly about the nominees' professional qualifications. The Democrats have now abandoned all pretense that the process is about anything other than political warfare.
Next month will mark the second anniversay of the nominations of Miguel Estrada, Priscilla Owen and nine other judicial candidates. Five of the eleven have still not received votes.

GOUVERNEUR Antiques in the Park, which takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, is in its 20th year of raising money for E.J. Noble Hospital.
Its a good fundraiser, said Carrie L. Porter, who organizes the event with Linda Love for the E.J. Noble Hospital Auxiliary. I think we raised $4,000 last year.
This years event will allow the Auxiliary to contribute toward hospital equipment.
Were trying to purchase with this money a portable X-ray machine, Mrs. Porter said. We like to say where the moneys going.
The event in the village park will feature 15 vendors, including one winery.
In addition to booth fees from vendors, money raised comes from a bake sale, raffles of baskets filled with sundry items, and a raffle that features as a prize an antique dresser and mirror or a hand-carved frame that holds $100 worth of lottery tickets.
Weather for the event is expected to be clear with a high of about 75 degrees.
This is our 20th year. It has never rained, Mrs. Porter said. Weve never had an alternate site. If we did, it would probably rain.
Mrs. Porter attributed the on-going success of the event to the popularity of antiques and the pleasant setting.
I think theres a lot of people who are collectors, she said.

European Cluster Conference 2012 shows the way: Excellence and internationalisation are key for successful clusters Veröffentlicht am: 27/04/2012, Letzte Aktualisierung: 04/07/2014
"400 representatives from business networks, the European Commission and national policy makers debated the alignment of EU cluster and innovation policy post-2014"
Clusters play an important role when it comes to the access of SMEs to innovation and research, or the joint development of international markets. They will also play a crucial role in the future for the allocation of Structural Funds which requires greater prioritization and specialization within regions.
The European Cluster Conference 2012, that took place in Vienna from 18-20 April, hosted more than 400 representatives from 41 countries in the ancient halls of Palais Niederösterreich. At the three-day event high-level representatives from politics, the EU Commission and cluster organisations discussed the results from a range of previous and current initiatives, future challenges for the sustainability of clusters and the reorientation of cluster policy. Highlights of the conference were the awarding of the first three Cluster Management Excellence GOLD labels and the election of the European Cluster Manager of the Year 2012 – Micael Gustafsson, from Cluster55 in Sweden. Additionally Cluster West from France won the design competition "Put your cluster on the map". Also during the conference, the Cluster Women European Network (ClusterWene) was set up by 30 women from 12 countries. The conference was moderated by Werner Pamminger, CEO Clusterland Upper Austria.
The event was organised by Clusterland Upper Austria, the Lower Austrian Business Agency ecoplus, Foundation Sophia Antipolis and MFG - Innovation Agency for ICT and Media of the State of Baden-Württemberg.

Well, whichever way it goes, note that it puts the sales of the larger bizjets out in front. That is a sector of the market that needs recovery but it also indicates that business in general seems poised for a comeback, which will be good fo all.
You've got to be kidding ? the only biz jet flying this time next year will be AF1 after Libs ruin the country

I admit that I only read one New York Ranger beat reporter's blog and that is Andrew Gross's Ranger Rants over at NorthJersey.com. I do so mainly because Gross whether I agree with his views or not writes about the team leaving his own ego at the door. See in today's sad state of journalism too often the story gets lost in the writer's attempt to get more hits at his website. Not Andrew as he tells the story and does a solid job backing it up with quotes and notes.
So here I was reading Monday's piece on Brad Richards and I have to wonder if Brad Richards believes some of the stuff he said. Richards talked alot about the amount of playoff experience that the Rangers had and how he felt it helped them except when it came to winning game 2.
"It's the same as any team that would be going into the playoffs multiple years," Richards added. "If you get to a conference final, it shows you a lot about how you have to win and that's all I was meaning by that."
Richards then adds this part to explain why he thought the Rangers lost game 2.
"Experience aside, Richards also said the Rangers did not make the necessary improvements from their Game 1 4-1 win to their 4-2 loss in Game 2."
Sorry Brad but it wasn't a failure to make improvements which cost the Rangers game 2 but rather you stopped doing the things that earned you the game 1 win and the early 2-0 lead. There wasn't any need for the Rangers to make improvements (other than cutting down on giveaways) but rather a need to keep doing all those things that were working.
Playing with composure and discipline, attacking the net, getting bodies in front of Ray Emery and keep skating. When you look at all of this it doesn't seem like anyone is asking for a whole lot now does it?
"It comes down to maybe a little execution, game plan," Richards said. "Really, they were probably a little more desperate than we were for some reason (in Game 2). They felt like they had to win that game and I'm not saying we didn't feel like we had to win it but for some reason, after we got up 2-0, we maybe let off a touch and that's what we're going to have to realize."
You mean because the Flyers did not want to return home down 2-0 in the series Brad? Sorry but I just wonder how a player with as much talent as Richards can come off not looking very bright with what he says. What is missing is that what happened is once the Rangers got that early 2-0 lead there were way too many players who thought the game was already won and put themselves on cruise control.
For a team that supposedly has all that playoff experience then Richards and his teammates should have known better about how weak a 2-0 lead can be early in a game. Those "experienced" players should have known that they needed to keep the pressure on the Flyers; heck even increase it to the point where they choked out the Flyers.
"We could have lost the game by playing a perfect game, too. It's not about just that but the intensity level and the level of play has to keep going up and it has to jump up a lot more than it did from Game 1 to Game 2 than it did for us. That's our main focus, it's got to be better."
Then may I beg of you Brad Richards to do something that I wonder if any member of the Ranger roster knows how to do? Stop talking and start leading with your own play as that is what I believe the Rangers really need. They need someone who is going to pick up the team and put them on their back and say "Follow me boys" or "Give me the puck."
Call it the Bobby Holik experience but man it gets so old reading, listening or watching a Ranger player talk about what they need to do as a team but not stand up and "walk that talk." Call me spoiled as I grew up in the age of Joe Namath, Willis Reed, Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson and even Mark Messier.
You knew when you saw any time there was going to be a big game that they didn't talk about what needed to be done as they just went out and did it. This might be the biggest missing piece in the Ranger locker room not having a big game player.
The Rangers haven't had that big game player since the original run of Mark Messier and maybe it is why I am such a issue with Rick Nash. I see the talent and skill set but I just don't see the fire inside his belly.
To Win Game 3
Stop talking about what you think you need to do and just do it.
That was easy wasn't it? Seriously it hasn't changed from the start of this series from attacking the net, getting bodies in Emery's space and rattle him into losing his cool. Don't try to match the Flyer's desire to play a chippy physical brand of hockey as that is not how the Rangers are built. Stay disciplined and out of the penatly box. Play a full 60 minutes of hockey from start to finish.
And someone anyone please light a fight under Rick Nash PLEASE

POTSDAM The restaurant 1844 House: An American Bistro is reaching for the next level, and has hired a new general manager and sommelier to help it get there.
Enter Barry L. Sears, originally of Carthage, who has spent the last 15 years working for The View restaurant at Lake Placids Mirror Lake Inn, most recently supervising the restaurants wine program. He recently joined his friends Brian A. and Jenny D. Walker at their 6885 Route 11 eatery to help them run their restaurant.
Me, Brian and Jenny go back almost as long as Ive been in Lake Placid, Mr. Sears said.
Ms. Walker said 1844 House has become increasingly busy in the last few years, and it was time to bring in some extra help.
Our business has grown to the point where we need help, she said. We need an extra set of hands. The husband-and-wife team hopes Mr. Searss expertise will help 1844 House gain more acclaim.
The restaurant has received a three-diamond rating from AAA. It is one of the few restaurants in the region to do so, but the Walkers want to elevate the 1844 House to a four-diamond rating.
If successful, it would be the north countrys second four-diamond establishment, following The View.
Were trying to create a destination restaurant in St. Lawrence County, Mr. Walker said.
This efforts requires a host of incremental improvements. Thats where Mr. Sears comes in. He met Brian Walker more than a decade ago, when both worked as wait staff for The View.
Mr. Sears did not always intend to enter the restaurant business. He studied biochemistry at SUNY Plattsburgh, but said he more or less stumbled into a job at The View. Once I graduated, it just kind of happened in Lake Placid, and it kind of grew from there, he said.
The isolation of lab work was not for him, he decided. Mr. Sears said he prefers working with people, and learned most of what he knows about the restaurant industry on the job.
Having worked in a bunch of different places, you quickly realize there are people who do things the right way and people who do things the easy way, he said.
The potential to turn 1844 House into a four-diamond restaurant is there, Mr. Sears said. Its going to be a process of making some changes. Not too big. Its like polishing a stone.
Mr. Sears will help train staff members, brushing up their knowledge of wine pairings. Reviewers from AAA come in secret, and typically test the knowledge of the staff and the ability of the restaurant to handle complaints. The Walkers and Mr. Sears want to make sure everyone is ready when the time comes.
Most of the changes likely will not be noticed by the customers, Mr. Walker said. Usually when we make little changes, it goes completely unnoticed, he said.
Meanwhile, as Mr. Sears takes charge of more of the restaurants day-to-day operations, the Walkers plan to branch out into new areas. They will attend bridal shows to pitch the 1844 House as a wedding destination, and this summer will hold a special supper club series of meals.
1844 House will celebrate Mr. Searss arrival with a Sommeliers Dinner on April 24.

Mavic Notch Shorts Set $0.00
You'll never find cargo pockets on a pair of spandex shorts because of the nano-seconds lost to air resistance. It's also rarer than a double rainbow to see road cyclist with a hydration pack, as it's a peloton no-no considering that they prefer team jerseys with rear pockets. Mountain bike shorts like Mavic's Notch Shorts Set, on the other hand, rely on those side pockets. Why? Well, because packs negate rear-jersey pockets, and easy-to-grab gels from a cargo pocket while riding are essential to stacking up off-road miles.
And, due to the Notch's removable liner with an Ergo 2D chamois insert, you'll enjoy anatomically correct comfort throughout the extent of long rides. The Ergo 2D insert uses a moisture wicking, low density, open cell foam to pull perspiration from the skin along with an antimicrobial treatment to fight bacteria. This first layer is incredibly soft against the skin in order to prevent irritation. But, for long-distance comfort, Mavic teamed up the low density with a higher density foam. This combination allows unrestricted pedaling along with the support needed for multiple hours in the saddle. The Notch's fabric contributes to cycling comfort as well. In fact, Mavic uses two distinct fabrics, Sleek Wick ST and Trail Tech XL to provide durability, flexibility, and water-resistance.
Sleek Wick ST is an incredibly soft fabric with a natural elasticity that allows a complete freedom of movement. It's also designed to pull perspiration away from the skin in order to keep you cool and dry. Trail Tech XL is a durable fabric that resists abrasion on the rocks and dirt involved with aggressive trail ridding. Finishing the Notch off is a Durable Water Resistance (DWR) treatment that sheds mud and water from creek crossings.
The Mavic Notch Shorts Set is available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors Autobahn and Black.

Returned them.
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
I returned these as they:
a. did not fit me very well around the knees
b. did not fit well around waist - too big
c. was not wild about the fabric - seemed too heavy for summer use.
I'm 5-10" 170 34" waist.
Luke Humphrey
You need to state the size you bought otherwise there is no frame of reference for "too big" on a 34" waist.
Richard Eyre
Good point - I bought the "M".
Jeff Cocking
Thank you for the comment. I ordered one size down and they are perfect!

Cape Vincent resident Darrel J. Aubertine announced Wednesday he has accepted a position at the office of the state comptroller as special assistant for external affairs, and will start the job today.
Mr. Aubertine, 60, last week announced his resignation as commissioner of the state Department of Agriculture and Markets; Wednesday was his last day on the job.
Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli created the external affairs position to provide direct guidance to distressed municipalities, Mr. Aubertine said. He also will be responsible for leading outreach programs for public and private organizations, and projects involving economic development, K-12 and higher education, agriculture and affordable housing.
The former chairman of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators said his experience serving municipalities was a factor in the hiring decision.
Ill be working with municipalities, school districts and business organizations to have a more streamlined dialogue with the comptrollers office, Mr. Aubertine said. Any of those organizations that might be in distress in any way, especially in the rural areas of the state, I can help to be a conduit between them and the comptrollers office.
Long in the making, the external affairs position is part of a larger strategy by the comptroller to provide guidance to municipalities, Mr. Aubertine said. He said he believes his experience as a local government official in the north country will help him understand the challenges municipalities are facing. Along with his time as a Jefferson County legislator, he served on the Cape Vincent Town Council and as a state senator.
My roots go back to local government, he said, adding that he plans to take a hands-on approach to the job. I will be the guy who might facilitate a team coming in to do something other than an audit to help municipalities.
Mr. DiNapoli, who served with Mr. Aubertine as members of the state Assembly, described the Democrat as a strong leader who will tackle policy issues head-on.
Darrels impressive career in government, coupled with his ability to find common-sense solutions to complex issues, will greatly enhance our efforts to address the challenges faced by our local communities and broaden our policy efforts on a wide range of issues, Mr. DiNapoli said in a release. Darrel values collaboration and is deeply committed to finding ways to keep our economy and rural communities strong, while maximizing taxpayer dollars.
Mr. Aubertine earned a salary of $120,080 as the commissioner of Ag & Markets, a position he held since 2011. He will make $135,000 at the comptrollers office.

The Wilson, a reservation-only, password-protected bar hidden inside an already-elusive bar, Bourbon & Branch, is taking reservations now.
"Make reservations, and keep it small and intimate - the place is tiny. Visiting in pairs works the best."
Think of this as your regular B&B experience with a hefty dose of fine-dining hospitality. Once you make your online reservation (up to two people, for up to two hours), you'll get a confirmation and password that you'll use at the main door, whereupon you'll be escorted into the long, narrow room to your seats.
The Wilson (named after a missing woman whose bloodstained purse was found in the walls during construction) still has the same 1920s Prohibition vibe as B&B. So you'll feel right at home amidst the damask and exposed brick walls.
At your seat, you'll find a personalized, date-stamped menu printed with your name—no two visits are alike. It's arranged like a three-course prix fixe of cocktails, with an aperitif, a main and a digestif or punch. Of course, you can mix and match your drinks—or stick with the tobacco/bourbon/coffee Pinkerton.
And since there are three bartenders for only 20 guests, you'll get plenty of face time for an in-depth conversation about the ins and outs of tobacco tinctures.
It'll serve "investigative" cocktails made with the rarest B&B spirits and crazy tinctures/bitters (tobacco, sarsaparilla, etc.), a $30 three-cocktail prix fixe, and three boozy punches served in stainless steel, police-evading tea pots, presumably voiced by Angela Lansbury.
The Wilson isn't just a bar-within-a-bar with a 1930s gumshoe theme. Bourbon & Branch's new side project takes San Francisco's bar scene one step further down the path it has been traveling for the past few years. Bartenders have become cooks in their own right, brewing and infusing and stewing and concocting, taking ownership of the drink in ways we never imagined in the vodka-cran age.

Archive for the 'Slagle & Heap Phoenix' tag
Four-Links – shiny mystery truck, indoor drags, landspeed dump truck, another Raymond's hydraulic drive car
* It's been far too long since we checked in on our friends at BigLorryBlog, and what do we see up there this week but this fascinating Fageol-like mystery truck? The submitter claims it's a McCullough Road King, which rings no bells with Brian, his commenters, or with us. Could it have been something Robert Paxton McCulloch had built?
* I'd read about indoor drag racing events in the Chicago area before, but never seen any good pictures of said events until StreetLegalTV recently posted up a few with some information about the event. Wonder what Wally parks had to say about it?
UPDATE (10.November 2010): Didn't realize iowahawk had a little writeup on the indoor drags back in 2008.
* Earlier this year Jim Shepherd posted a tribute to the Slagle & Heap Phoenix land-speed racing truck, originally a 1943 International K-7 dump truck. Very neat to see its transformation from weedgathering abandoned truck into a 272 MPH streamliner. (via)
* Raymond Russell may have been beat to the punch in developing a hydraulic drive system for an automobile. Over at Bolly Blog, John Kapunda posted the text of a story from the October 1950 Australian Monthly Motor Manual noting that Raymond Moore of Melbourne had been working on his hydraulic transmission since 1938.
* Finally, the original 1955 production of "The Fast and the Furious," in its entirety. (via)

Great post! I'm pretty bad about this...especially when it comes to my google reader. If there's a new post, I feel like I have to read it RIGHT NOW. Hubs is bad about being on his phone. It's good to kind of chill out and relax while reading the blogs I love sometimes, but I probably do it waaay too often. Good for you for unplugging and getting more relaxation in!

It resonates well with my soul. Hubs said that I'm so guilty of being on the grid checking facebook. FB is a way for me to unwind and reconnect with family and friends miles away. Thankfully, I don't have to take work home with me. As a working mom, gotta juggle and prioritize. For me, what I need to do is get more physical activity (besides sexercise) and journalling. Again, thanks for sharing my kindred cousin. And please keep them coming:)

Multitasking is great when you're waiting in line at the grocery store, but not all that good for your soul.

YIELD: Makes 1 bûche de Noël, serving 1
- 2 Yodel snack cakes
- 1/4 cup purchased or homemade chocolate frosting
- Assorted decorations such as cloth leaves (available at floral shops and craft stores), chopped maraschino cherries, Red Hots, M&M's and other candies, colored sugars, shredded coconut, confectioner's sugar, and cocoa powder
- Special equipment: Toothpicks, small offset spatula or butter knife
Place Yodels in freezer 5 minutes to firm up chocolate coating, then peel off and discard (or eat!) coating.
Using small sharp knife, cut thin slice off each end of Yodels. Cut 1 Yodel in half crosswise on angle and discard (or eat!) 1 half.
Using toothpick, attach other half of cut Yodel to whole Yodel to form "branch." Using small offset spatula or butter knife, cover Yodels with frosting, drawing spatula in long strokes down length of "log" to give appearance of bark and leaving ends of "logs" uncovered to show spiral pattern. Once branch is secured with frosting, gently remove toothpick.
Decorate as desired with leaves, chopped cherries or red candies for berries, brown candies and/or cocoa powder for earth, and shredded coconut or confectioner's sugar for snow.

35 DIY Gifts for Your Geek Valentine
Statistically rare but devastating, home invasions are the kind of low-probability, high-consequence nightmare that is difficult to guard against without seeming and feeling like a hopelessly paranoid person. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be prepared.

(And check out video of our day of handgun training with Gun For Hire.)
Gun ownership comes with grave responsibilities and may not be for everyone. Pull a gun only if you are trained to use it. Practice shooting with both eyes open—depth perception and peripheral vision are needed in an actual gunfight.
