Complete customization and control.
As K2's best-selling boot, the K2 Men's Maysis Boa Snowboard Boot offers a responsive flex, the quick-tightening convenience of Boa lacing, and long-lasting Endo construction. Equipped with a dual Boa closure, the Maysis offers complete control over the external and internal zones with its Boa Coiler external lacing and Boa Conda liner system. This double Boa combination gives you the precision to dial-in your preferred support over the outer shell and internal liner. Crank both dials all the way for the utmost in response and control, or keep them a bit looser for extra freedom of movement. Either way, the fit and response is totally customizable to your liking and the terrain at hand.
Retaining its responsive flex throughout the course of the season, the Maysis features K2's ingenious Endo urethane exoskeleton that resists breakdown better than traditional stitch-and-glue construction. Its dual-density tongue offers high levels of energy transfer without pinching or pressure points, thanks to its 3D-formed design. The heat-moldable Intuition Control Foam 3D liner comfortably conforms to the shape of your foot for a supportive, incredibly comfortable fit. Add in Harshmellow dampening along the boot's footbed and outsole for a super-smooth ride when you're riding over choppy snow and stomping harsh landings.

One more picture
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Lastly, here is a picture of the Boa cables cutting right through the shell, not a problem that affects the performance per se but eventually the cables will wear a hole through the shell.
More Pictures
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Here is a picture of the heel peeling from the boot. I even bought new bindings to try and alleviate this issue to no avail (I do, however love my Now Pilots).
Good for about 2 days
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really wanted to like this boot, and for what it's worth, they did perform decently.. for about 2 days. I am an intermediate-advanced rider, 5'7" 165-170 lbs., size 9.5 on Now IPOs and Now Pilots, riding a Yes The Greats 2013. I ride about 20 days a year mostly in the Northeast with a four day trip to CO. The problems started when the sole of the boot began to peel from the boot starting at the heel. I rode Nike Zoom Vapens with the same bindings all last year and didn't see any wear at all. I only switched because I wanted a stiffer/more responsive boot. I now regret that decision. Then the Boa cables started to cut into the shell in various places, eventually this will cause a tear. The straw that broke the camel's back is the closure system at the toe box separating from the shell. This renders the boot unusable as I can no longer tighten the boot adequately to ride. See the pictures below for more details. Furthermore, be advised that if you do purchase this boot, you're more likely to fall walking around than riding. The eva sole is super slippery, many times I've nearly fallen just walking from the parking lot to the lift. Terrible design. I'm very disappointed.
Performance and comfort and awesomeness
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Basically one of the best boots in the game at at the price point. I haven't had too many issues with durability, I've noticed some fraying and the cables do wear on the tongue shell thing. I wear a size 10.5 shoe and bought a 9.5. I ride Rome 390 boss bindings and the targa 's.
Responsive, but worried about longevity
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've mostly been riding Burton boots and wanted to try something different with the K2s. I was looking for a slightly stiffer/more responsive boot than my Burton Rulers, and was interested in trying out the BOA system. A local shop rep recommended these. These felt much stiffer than my old Rulers. I actually need to get used to how different the response feels, especially when engaging the toe edge.
While these boots were very comfortable when trying them on in the store, my first day of riding led to some serious foot pain and numbness in my toes. I haven't had the liners molded though, so I might just need to give it a few more days to let them break-in.
I like that the inner lining is adjustable via the BOA, rather than having a separate pull-and-lock tightener.
My issue is with the durability of the outer shell. After a single day of riding, there is a nice little hole worn in the back of the boot where it makes contact with my binding. I tried to bring them back for a warranty replacement, but the manager told me that K2 would consider this "normal wear-and-tear" and that he couldn't help me. This is not an issue I'm used to seeing. I've put 50+ days on my Rulers and haven't noticed any holes or tearing on the binding contact points. To have this happen on my first day of using them is disappointing.
Finally, there isn't a whole lot of footprint reduction with these compared with the Burtons. I wear a size 11 and am definitely getting some toe-overhang.
For me, the pros don't outweigh the cons. I'll ride these for the rest of the season and hopefully the comfort gets better as they break-in, but I'm worried about the longevity of the outer shell. So far I've only had 1 day in these boots, so I'll have to update this review when I get more time in.
Hi Anthony, any update?

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. I'd like to rename it: National Childhood Obesity Solutions Month. Why? There are sound scientific findings that show how calorie intake can be reduced in an easy, delicious way. Which just happens to be The Sneaky Chef way!
In a Penn State University study, research shows that preschoolers ate twice as many vegetables & 11% fewer calories just by eating their favorite foods - creatively enhanced with pureed fruits and veggies!! The study underscores what I have believed in and promoted for years now: slip the good stuff into the food your kids love, and they'll have their veggies tonight, without a fight! It adds up to great health benefits and fewer calories. Did I say "adds up"? OK, well, here's another addition equation for parents to solve by tonight:
Broccoli + Peas + Spinach = ?
(Correct Answer: Green puree, which you can add invisibly to this meatball recipe your kid will happily eat tonight!)
Magic Meatballs
Nutrition Highlights: Whole grains, protein, and vegetables. Rich in vitamins A, K, B12, C and E, tryptophan, manganese, folate, zinc, protein, iron, and fiber
There's no mystery about the health benefits of these perfectly " normal" looking and tasting meatballs. Yet unlike those at the Italian restaurant, our meatballs are loaded with whole grains and greens. Thanks to a little help from a preschool color wheel, I found that the green disappears into the color of meaty brown when mixed well with the tomato paste. My kids love to eat these off toothpicks or smothered in red sauce on top of their favorite spaghetti. The extras save well for months in the freezer packed in a sealed plastic bag. You can gradually work up to larger amounts of sneaky puree.
Makes about 42 small meatballs
6 to 8 tablespoons Green Puree (See Make-Ahead Recipe #3)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup wheat germ, unsweetened
1 large egg, beaten
1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, for browning meatballs
In a large bowl, combine the Green Puree and tomato paste, mixing well (with the back of a fork) until the green color turns brownish. Mix in salt, wheat germ, and egg, and finally add the ground meat and mix with hands until well combined. Using damp hands, pinch off about 2 teaspoons of meat and gently shape mixture into mini meatballs.
Sneaky tip: Mini one- bite meatballs work better than larger ones for hiding purees.
(Below are 2 ways to cook the meatballs, depending on how much time you have. You will definitely get out of the kitchen quicker with the oven-baked method, and the result is nearly as good as the pan frying.)
Brown-in-pan method:
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large (10 inch or 12 inch) nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, until hot but not smoking. Add meatballs in four batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Allow to brown on all sides for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally with the help of 2 teaspoons. Reduce heat to low and cook through for another 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and add more oil as needed for the next batch. Serve with toothpicks as " cocktail" meatballs, dropped in almost any soup, or smothered in Easy Homemade Pasta Sauce, (see Book 1) over spaghetti.
Oven-baked method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a large cookie sheet with 2 tablespoons of oil, gently place meatballs on sheet, and bake for 10 minutes. Using a spatula to loosen, turn the meatballs over to brown on the other side, then return to oven for another 10 minutes. Serve with toothpicks as " cocktail" meatballs, dropped in almost any soup, or smothered in Easy Homemade Pasta Sauce over spaghetti.
Enjoy in good health,

text: Take this with a grain of salt, but AICN is reporting that Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus director Terry Gilliam has cast Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law to film the remaining scenes that Heath Ledger was to have played. If word from Harry Knowles' camp ends up being true, it'll be quite a score for both the project and the notorious bad-luck magnet Gilliam. While it remains to be seen how Heath Ledger's scenes will be integrated into the final product, we can all agree that this casting news is a definite improvement over Christopher Plummer's vision of using "stills and something I think they call CGI" to save the flick.

Sentencing is set for an Oklahoma State University basketball player convicted of rape and sexual battery.
Darrell Williams is to be sentenced Friday in Payne County District Court where he was convicted in July. The jury recommended a total of two years in prison.
Williams' attorneys have asked for a new trial — saying they have new evidence. They have not commented on what the new evidence is and subpoenas for mental health and counseling records of his accusers are under seal.
Williams was charged after two women said he groped them at a party in December 2010.
Williams was suspended from the OSU basketball team in February 2011. Coach Travis Ford testified that he believes Williams is not guilty and said he will not comment further until after sentencing.

What was scheduled to be a quiet meeting Thursday between Oakland A's officials and 25 South Fremont residents on the team's stadium plans turned into a spirited question and answer session.
More than 700 protesters, according to police estimates, lined the street outside Weibel Elementary School at 6:30 p.m. holding up anti-A's signs and chanting "No Stadium."
"It's really refreshing to see so much community spirit," Fremont resident Candy Ferrell said.
The rally was organized to demonstrate the opposition in Fremont's Warm Springs district to the team's proposal to build a ballpark near the planned Warm Springs BART station, and across Interstate 680 from a residential neighborhood.
Residents fear the ballpark would lead to added traffic problems and result in fans parking on their streets and walking through their neighborhood.
"The traffic would be horrendous," said resident Ram Trikutam.
With such a large turnout for the rally, A's officials cancelled the planned information session and invited 500 of the protestors into the school's multi-purpose room to field their questions.
The impromptu session started out on a rowdy note as protesters roared in approval when one questioner asked them whether Mayor Bob Wasserman should be impeached if he supports the Warm Springs ballpark proposal.
Wasserman, who has been one of the most public supporters of bringing the A's to Fremont, had said at a recent City Council meeting that he preferred the team's original plan to build a ballpark near the Pacific Commons shopping center. However, that proposal now appears unlikely because three major Pacific Commons retailers and the owner of both the stadium site and the shopping center have come out against it.
The A's plan to submit paperwork to Fremont later this month that will change its preferred stadium location from the Pacific Commons site west of Interstate 880 and south of Auto Mall Parkway to the Warm Springs site. The council is scheduled to address the stadium issue next on Feb. 24.
Over the past month, the A's have been meeting with small groups of Warm Springs residents to gauge opposition to the stadium proposal and attempt to allay their concerns.
The team has proposed to pay for traffic monitors and security guards to keep fans out of surrounding neighborhoods, A's co-owner Keith Wolff said Thursday. He also said the A's would reduce the number of weekday afternoon games to prevent traffic jams when parents are picking up their children from the local elementary school.

In 2006, the Italian National Team accomplished something that most nations could only dream of—winning their fourth World Cup Trophy in dramatic fashion against France.
Unfortunately, the win would not be replicated with a stunning encore, as the 2010 World Cup was one of the darkest for the Azzurri. They failed even to make it out of the group stage despite being pitted against Paraguay, Slovakia and New Zealand.
With the 2014 World Cup in Brazil just around the corner, let's take a look at some of the most memorable moments from the last time Italy hoisted the most important trophy in world football.

Authorities Find Main Suspect in Queens Stabbing in Texas
The hunt for a 28-year-old New York City man wanted for questioning after his wife and two young children were found stabbed to death in Queens ended late Monday, a law-enforcement official said.
Authorities tracked Miguel Mejia-Ramos to Texas on his way to Mexico, the official said.
Agents with the U.S. Marshal's Service along with state and local police arrested Mr. Mejia-Ramos on a highway between Houston and San Antonio shortly before 11 p.m., the official said.
Police are looking to question Mr. Mejia-Ramos in the stabbing death of his wife Deisy Garcia and the couple's two daughters: 2-year-old Daniela Mejia and 1-year-old Yoselin Mejia.
Ms. Garcia was found fully clothed, lying face down on the floor with two bloody knives next to her, one of which was broken, officials said. Ms. Garcia suffered multiple injuries to the right side of her body, including to her cheek, arm, hand and the center of her back, officials said.
In the next room her two daughters were found in their beds with multiple stab wounds, officials said.
The official said three bloody knives were found in the room: one on top of a dresser, one under the dresser and one in the bed with the children.
The 2001 Chevrolet van that police believed Mr. Mejia-Ramos was driving was tracked to interstate I-10 shortly before 11 p.m. Monday after he turned on his cellphone and the signal bounced off a nearby cell phone tower, the official said.
Police notified local authorities and Mr. Mejia-Ramos was arrested without incident, the official said. He was discovered with stab wounds and taken to a nearby by hospital where he was being treated for injuries that weren't considered serious, the official said.
NYPD homicide detectives were on their way to Texas on Tuesday to begin extradition proceedings to have Mr. Mejia-Ramos brought back to Queens, the official said.
Authorities said the family had a history of domestic violence, with police being called to the home at least two times.
Ms. Garica's mother, Lusmina Alvarado, said her daughter never told her about any fights with her husband.
Ms. Garcia was originally from Guatemala, said Ms. Alvarado, and met Mr. Mejia-Ramos, who she said is from Mexico, in New York.

What sports and games are the most popular in Slovakia?
Many people in Slovakia like to watch ice-hockey, talk about football and comment on tennis. Some of them swim in the summer and ski in winter.
It is important to distinguish between an "active sport" - a sport, that a person exercises for her health, fun and recreation - and a "passive sport" or "TV-sports", that the people are talking about, but not necessarily do them.
Active Sports
In Summer, many people spend the warmest days near water. There are quite many natural and artificial lakes, that allow people to swim or sail a boat.
Slovakia is a mountainous country. Winter ski resorts are usually full of skiing people. Beside of ski, some people are trying their snowboards.
The tourist roads in the mountains are very well marked and hiking maps are available for each region. You can meet hikers in the woods of High Tatras ("Vysoké Tatry"), as well as around Bratislava in Small Carpathes ("Malé Karpaty"). Many of these roads are suitable for bikes too. Some roads are used by inline-skaters, but there is no real track network.
It is not always fun to do a sport alone. Sport games are more social, they make the people interract with each other. So what are the most popular games?
Football (European football, soccer, "futbal") is the most popular game in Slovakia. It is the cheapest collective game - only a relatively flat ground and a ball is needed to make almost any number of people (four up to twenty-two or more) enjoy the game. Almost every town and village has its own playground and a team that is playing in the regional league.
Ice-Hockey ("ľadový hokej", "hokej") is more expensive to go in.
To save money, you can find cheap goalie pads from Goalie Monkey.However, all clubs have their youth teams to support young talents. Other popular games are volleyball ("volejbal"), basketball ("basketbal"), tennis ("tenis"), handball ("hádzaná") and for the wealthier also golf.
Games, that are very popular in other countries, such as baseball, rugby, softball or pétanque have only started their invasion of Slovak playgrounds. There are some organizations, that try to propagandize the games and hold public tournaments.
Passive Sports
The number one is probably ice-hockey. Since the team of Slovakia takes part at every World Championship since 1996 and in the past few years has reached very good results (gold in 2002, silver in 2000 and bronze in 2003), many people like to identify themselves with the team and become the greatest patriots, at least for the two weeks the championship lasts. The results of the North-American NHL are also one of the most important news items, because there are quite many NHL-players from Slovakia.
Football is also very popular "passive" sport. The reason, that it is on the place two behind the ice-hockey is probably because the Slovak team does not perform on the international scene as well as the Ice-Hockey team.
Tennis, which probably seems to be boring to be watched, can be attractive too. People also like to watch the Grand Prix of Formula 1, at least the most exciting first and final rounds.

Island of the Blue Dolphins
by Scott O'Dell
Island of the Blue Dolphins Chapter 5 Summary
- After the slaughter, the number of men in the village drops from 42 to 15 – 5 of them are old men. Everyone has lost someone.
- Many people talk about leaving for Santa Catalina, an island that is nearby, but in the end they decide to stay. Kimki, one of the village elders, is elected to be the new Chief. He's old, but was a good hunter in his youth.
- Because there are so few men in the village, the women take over many of the men's jobs. They are not staying in the home anymore, but instead, they have to go out and catch birds and fish. This causes some of the men to grumble and be jealous when the women do a better job than the men did before.
- Ulape and Karana's job is to gather abalones, a shellfish that grows on the rocks of the island. Ramo is given the job of protecting the abalones from the seagulls and the pack of wild dogs that now wanders around the island.
- The pack of wild dogs banded together when their owners died and there was no one to take care of them.
- All autumn and winter, the people of the village feel haunted by the ghosts of those who were killed. The people have a hard time with so many sad memories.
- In the spring, Kimki tells the tribe he's going on a journey to the east – to a country he visited as a boy. (That would be the mainland of America.)
- Kimki will go alone but promises to return for the rest of the village. He leaves on a sunny day in a canoe filled with water and supplies.
- The village wonders if Kimki will ever reach the far country – and if and when he'll come back.

Black Spiced RumCaptain Morgan Rum Company Norwalk, CT • 750 ml
• $21.99 Suggested Retail Price
• captainmorgan.com
The newest addition to Captain Morgan's spiced rum portfolio, Black Spiced Rum, was created to appeal to the whiskey drinker, the company says, looking to attract a consumer that might otherwise not have previously ventured into the spiced rum category. Crafted from Caribbean Blackstrap rum and select ingredients, including rich clove spice and premium cassia bark, the liquid is finished with double charred blackened oak for a premium, smooth taste. The "bold" liquid carries the exotic taste of cinnamon and clove, followed by hints of warm spice and vanilla for a smooth finish, described the company. Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum should be consumed on the rocks, but can also feature as the key ingredient in a twist on classic cocktails, such as Henry Morgan's Old Fashioned.

West Lauderdale basketball coach Duran Clark is focused on one of the most overlooked parts of basketball: defense.
"We talked about it, coach Osby and myself, in the offseason," said Clark. "And we decided, 'Hey, we're probably not going to score a lot points so if the other team can't score, then hey... maybe that'll give us a chance.'"
"Everything's about defense. Every drill we run... it's our defensive strategy first," said senior forward Ty Harden. "You don't even have to be able to shoot or dribble as long as you play defense."
"Ninety percent of practice is defense," said junior E.J. Collier. "The rest is probably shooting."
The strategy has worked. West lauderdale has very little depth under the basket, but their tenacious defense has driven them to a 19-2 record.
"We don't have a lot of tall or athletic guys, so I think it speaks a lot to our coach and how coachable we are as a team," said senior guard Zach Shelley.
All the players we spoke to agreed on one thing: This year's team is totally unselfish.
"We had too many people [last year] trying to out-do each other and wouldn't play their role," said Harden. "But this year, everybody accepts their role. Some people score more than others. We accept that. We just want to win."
"If a guy's open, we'll get him the ball," said coach Clark. "So I would say those three things: We like each other, we defend and we're not selfish at all."
With six regular season games remaining, there's no question about the Knights' identity. On Friday, they blew out Noxubee County in Collinsville. On Tuesday, guard Noah Nix sealed a 2-point victory over Caledonia in an unconventional way... a game-winning steal.
"Well, Tuesday night, we was in a nail-biter, but my guys never showed any emotion," said Clark. "They never got frightened. Becuase the last three years, they've been on the floor with Laurel in the district championship. They ready for any situation, you know, whether at home or on the road."

Society has come to recognise the leaders of modern corporations, among many others, as heroes," wrote Jeffrey Sonnenfeld in The Hero's Farewell: What Happens when CEOs Retire (1988).
The premise of Sonnenfeld's work is that the leader's heroic "self-concept" leads up to four styles of departure. The Monarchs do not leave voluntarily; they will either die in office or are overthrown. The Generals leave reluctantly and then go on to spend much of their retirement plotting a comeback.

Join the conversation on the friendliest most helpful DIY solar energy forum
hi new to the forums. Just getting started to set my panels up. i bought 3 kits total. i have the 1200w/3200w power inverter and i also bought two 12 marine deep cycle batteries. Now i was wondering what is the best way to hook this stuff up. i want to hook up all the panels to charge the batteries. Also do i need to buy another charge controller,And if so what size. I need elp guys and what better place to get it than here. thanks skull

Skull - here is a great site to start with. http://freesunpower.com/
Also check the forum for the Wire Sizing Chart. Lenght of runs and wire size can be critical in this game.
With 3 kits, Yes, you will need to buy a better charge controller. The HF unit won't be able to handle what you have as it maxs out at 4 amps. As to how to hook it all up...well it kinda depends on what you want to do with it
You'll need to bank your batteries in parallel. Make sure it's vented where you keep them, something like battery boxes.
Many references to parallel connections will show one battery with the leads. I beleive it is better to balance the bank like in this picture; http://www.class-c-motorhome-info-made-simple.com/images/Batteries_...
Nope... parallel keeps the voltage the same but adds to capacity. Series will up the voltage but keep the capacity the same.
No if you run them in series that would increase the voltage.
Hi Skull,
No, batteries in parallel (plus to plus, minus to minus) have the same voltage, but the amperage adds.
Batteries in series (plus to minus) add the voltages, but current is the same.
The above assumes duplicate batteries.
Hillbilly Gene
Hello... and ... Welcome,
The charge controller size will depend on what your long term goal is... If you are going to add more kits over the next year I would buy a 30 amp or larger controller... if you are stopping at three kits... a 10 amp controller will work just fine.
Lots of little things... lets hear the plans and all of us can give a little advice to help steer you a bit.
Well, I've had BAD luck with the HF spot welders. The 110v version was worthless although it came with a plug attached. The 220v version comes with a cord BUT not plug. This is actually a good idea since there are various types of 220v outlets, both 3 and 4 prong variations. I purchased a LONG dryer supply cord with the right plug attached and bonded it to the 220v spot welder cord with a great device about the size of a standard coin tube of dimes. It has slots to keep the wires at each end separated and screws to keep them in place. I slid a piece of shrink tube over the thing and the heat gun sealed it all together. Plugged into the electric dryer outlet, the thing hummed but would NOT tack the HF solar panel stands together, even when I used a drill to remove all of the coating on each side of the two pieces. It would heat thin pieces of uncoated or galvanized steel red hot in a circle about the size of a paper-punch hole no bonding. Years ago I had a summer job in a sheet metal shop and the industrial spot welder had no trouble tacking together pieces of steel that were at least 1/8" each, so I guess that's what it takes. I may just drill holes and use stainless steel screws and/or bolts if I use the racks that come with the panels.
On the other hand, HF has 69" aluminum ramp pairs on sale now for $60 now that might serve has the components of a larger array. I've got 24 panels I'd like to put in one or two arrays positions to keep the Heat Pump exterior components in the shade, as they get up to 108 degrees (F) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for most of the summer.
If I recall correctly, Jason has a picture of an 18 panel array which looks really good, but when I last saw it there was no description of what held it together. At about 10 pounds apiece an array that size will weigh enough to make it a challenge to support but questionable about resisting being lifted by a strong wind. I'm looking into using the t-bar main supports used to hold up 2x2 and 2x4 ceiling tiles as part of a backing system but it looks like some sort of treated 4x8 foot plywood is going to be needed to be a part of it.
This may sound crazy, but I was also thinking about using a pair of HF 1 ton shop cranes (on sale via coupon for $99 each) as part of the base for the array as they are pretty heavy themselves and could easily be held to the ground with railroad ties or concrete. Naturally, the hydraulic cylinders would need to be supplemented by bracing, they would allow adjustments until the bracing is bolted back on. Any thoughts?

The Woman Warrior
by Maxine Hong Kingston
The Woman Warrior Women and Femininity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"When your father lived in China," Brave Orchid told the children, "he refused to eat pastries because he didn't want to eat the dirt the women kneaded from between their fingers" (4.218).
Kingston remembers how her mom would tell her about her father's sexism. Our narrator's ardent vow to fight unfair treatment of women quickly causes conflict within the family.
Quote #5
"She's very pretty and very young; just a girl. She's his nurse. He's a doctor like me. What a terrible, faithless man. You'll have to scold him for years, but first you need to sit up straight. Use my powder. Be as pretty as you can. Otherwise you won't be able to compete" (4.269).
Some might call Brave Orchid a complicated feminist. She wishes Moon Orchid to confront her husband for leaving her in China, but Moon Orchid has no wish to do so. Then Brave Orchid makes Moon Orchid feel like she'll need to be prettier to please her husband.
Quote #6
"You want a husband, don't you?" said Brave Orchid. "If you don't claim him now, you'll never have a husband. Stop crying," she ordered. "Do you want him to see you with your eyes and nose swollen when that young so-called wife wears lipstick and nail polish like a movie star?" (4.290).
Brave Orchid speaks for her sister in a way that is not helpful. Why doesn't she just let Moon Orchid do what she wants to do?

With Friday's game on the line for the Fremont High football team, it wasn't a surprise who received the ball.
The Tigers' Sione Moli scored the winning touchdown against host Skyline with six seconds remaining on a 6-yard run for the last of his career-high 169 yards on the ground. Moli scored all but one of Fremont's points, as the Tigers rallied from deficits three times in the second half to win 23-20.
"I just had to get it. I knew it was all on me," said the 5-foot-9, 210-pound Moli about his winning touchdown. "We just believed in ourselves."
A two-point conversion run by Moli, his second of the game, gave the Tigers (2-5, 2-1 Oakland Athletic League) the three-point advantage with six seconds remaining. Skyline (3-4, 1-2) pounced on the kick and, after drawing Fremont offside, had time for one play from Fremont's 43. But the Tigers' Majerle Taugavau knocked down a Jamal Mayo pass to end the game.
Moli scored the first of his three touchdowns on a 30-yard run in the third quarter to wipe out a 6-0 Skyline lead. He also scored on a 1-yard run with 9:19 remaining in the game. In the second half, Moli rushed for 103 yards on 12 carries.
DeWayne Ewing Jr. paced Skyline 110 yards rushing, including a 42-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Mayo added two touchdowns as part of his 81 yards on the ground.
Oakland Tech 47, Oakland 20: The Bulldogs (3-5, 2-1) scored on offense, defense and kick returns to rout the host Wildcats (0-8, 0-3).
The Bulldogs' Keith Lewis electrified the crowd with punt returns for TDs of 50 and 40 yards and placed Oakland Tech in good field position for two second-quarter touchdowns. Lewis, a receiver, also caught six passes for 131 yards.
In the first three quarters, the Bulldogs scored 33 points while the Wildcats managed just one score, a 63-yard run by quarterback Kesomi Mafi to open the game. Mafi had 147 yards rushing.
Tech running back Lamarr Davis (80 yards) scored on runs on 28 and 3 yards, and sophomore quarterback James Lewis (230 yards passing) threw a 45-yard strike to Rafael Otero giving the Bulldogs a 26-8 halftime lead.
-- Allen Gordon, correspondent
McClymonds 25, Castlemont 0: Host McClymonds (6-2, 3-0 OAL) took a 13-0 lead into halftime on its way to the win over the Knights (2-5, 1-2). "Our defense played well," McClymonds coach Curtis McCauley said.

By Matt Shapiro
Every parent's dream, a free babysitter we trust, was available to us, and we didn't know what to do. With my mom in town this past weekend, my wife, Sarah, and I had earmarked Sunday as a date night; the only problem was that we didn't know what to do. Our standard has become dinner and a movie, and while there was no shortage of movies we were both interested in (I'm blessed to spend my life with a woman who enjoys action movies over romantic comedies), it seemed stale to do the same old thing. Every idea we had was immediately crossed off for one reason or another—City Walk closes early on Sundays, LACMA isn't open that late, the funky mash-up dance party I discovered online was the previous Saturday night. Each failed idea made me feel more and more discouraged, ready to just wave the white flag and stay home or, even worse, resign myself to the standard date night option.
After much encouragement by Sarah, I finally dragged myself off the couch to, at the very least, go out to dinner. Not surprisingly, once I was finally out of the house, I started feeling much better; ordering a delicious dinner certainly didn't hurt either. As we were sitting there, Sarah suggested something that, upon Googling, turned out to be completely doable: the Santa Monica Pier. A favorite of ours during the day, somehow we hadn't ever been there at night. After finishing our tasty dinner, we zipped down the 10 to our destination (a complete lack of traffic was a major plus, too). We sat on the beach, walked the pier, and bought tickets for some of the rides. We had a blast doing the bumper cars together, and the only thing more fun than the roller coaster was hearing Sarah talk herself into why it wasn't that scary as we were going up the first incline.
Even though I woke up this morning to the stress of a Monday, even though this was just one small outing, there's also no doubting how much better I feel. Maybe it's still the residual rush from the roller coaster (like I said above, I don't get out much), but seeing that we could fight through that place of being stuck, go out, do something a little different than usual, have a good time together…it's invaluable. It's all too convenient to get seduced into the idea that life should be easy, that once a relationship, a job, a schedule gets set, it can run on auto-pilot. In my experience, there are few impulses more dangerous than this one. When I'm on auto-pilot, I'm not present, and if I'm not present, I'm not able to really pay attention to what's happening, to either what's going well or to what needs work. Putting effort into the important parts of my life (being a husband, being a father, getting better at my job, etc.) isn't something that one day, ideally, I won't have to work at anymore. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to work at each of those things every day of my life. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel once suggested that each of us should view our lives as a work of art. Therefore, each moment is a brushstroke, either contributing to or detracting from the overall work. It can be easy for this concept to be overwhelming, but it also speaks to the power of each moment, that at any time I can decide to take one more step toward creating the artwork I envision. Especially if there are bumper cars.

While it may carry an increased risk of complications, the recovery from TPLO surgery is often more rapid and complete. About half of all dogs undergoing the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy procedure will be able to walk on the injured limb within 24 hours of post operative recovery. Within 5 days post-op, most dogs will begin weight bearing on their injured limb. After 2 weeks a moderate amount of weight-bearing can be expected. Dogs with partial tears heal more quickly than dogs with complete tears and those requiring removal of the meniscus. During this period it is important to keep your dog quiet with no movement other than bathroom breaks, this is the most crucial period for healing and bone growth.
Around 6 to 8 weeks your veterinarian may want to take x-rays of your canine to be sure that the leg is healing properly. The radiographs taken during this period should show healing full, or almost complete healing at the osteotomy site. All lameness should disappear from your dog by the 10 week mark, although some intermittent lameness is to be expected when first reintroducing exercise.
Between 4 to 6 months post-op most restrictions of exercise can be lifted. If your pet is a hunting or agility canine they will need to wait until at least 6 months post op to return to their pre-injury activities. Unrestrained activity prior to this period can lead to injuries in the opposite CCL, spraining of the soft tissues or fractures around the surgical site.
Follow up care of the TPLO dog should include yearly rechecks with a veterinarian to evaluate the degree of arthritis in the knee. While the TPLO procedure will help to slow the progression of arthritis in the joint, no surgical procedure can ever completely rid your dog of this degenerative condition. There are a number of veterinary treatments available for dogs with arthritic tissue, and often the best treatment is to catch the disease in its early stages and take action.

Authentically Austrian: Edi & the Wolf
Vienna is the only world class city where winemakers can actually take a subway to work. In fact, I took the metro myself when I visited several Viennese producers a couple of years ago. I only visited a handful of wineries, though I could have visited a lot more; according to the Austrian trade commission, there are 630 wine producers located within the city limits of Vienna.
Vienna also has lots of wonderful heurigers, or wine bars owned by the vintners. These are places where wine lovers can eat and drink in a casual, convivial and often even rustic setting. Some heurigers supply food as well as wine and some allow you to bring your own (food).
Edi & the Wolf on the Lower East side (Avenue C and Seventh Street) is like the best sort of heuriger right here in Manhattan. With its beamed ceilings (actually sourced from a barn in the Midwest) to its planked tables (ditto) it feels like a mittle European restaurant that has been there for centuries. In fact, it's only been few months. (Its more fashionable sibling, Seasonal, is located on west 58th street uptown.)
The menu from chef Wolfgang Ban features quite a few memorable dishes – including a terrific Freekah salad (parsnip, carrot, beets and pumpkin seeds) and delicious Austrian flatbreads of course, a very good Schnitzel. The wine list is a treasure trove as well, thanks to its impassioned and knowledgeable Viennese ex-pat Eduard Frauneder, who collaborates on the wine and menu. There's a mix of great finds and good buys. Highlights (for me) included the Cabernet Franc from Brundlmayer and an absolutely charming 2008 Prieler Blaufrankisch – a ripe, lively, downright delicious red.
It's some of the best of winter food and wine I've had (so far) this winter season and welcome taste of Vienna in New York!

Treating and preventing mosquito bites necessitates a balanced approach that incorporates natural repellants and natural care. Avoiding mosquito bites is the best line of defense using deterrents such as apple cider vinegar. Nonetheless, natural treatments including lavender oil relieve the symptoms of a mosquito bite.
What are Mosquito Bites?
Itchy bumps that appear following a mosquito bite, insect bite or bee sting, mosquito bites are generally harmless. Nonetheless, bites often cause a large area or multiple locations of swelling, soreness and redness. Some insects pose an additional threat as they can carry viruses and parasites including West Nile, yellow fever, malaria and others.
Natural Mosquito Remedies
Preventing mosquito bites by using natural repellants is the best way to avoid insect bites. Some insect bites or stings are impossible to avoid, however, requiring effective treatment options. Apple cider vinegar and garlic are effective mosquito repellants while lavender oil is a functional remedy for itching associated with bites.
Apple Cider Vinegar
A natural, nontoxic compound, apple cider vinegar repels insects due to its acidic smell and taste. Vinegar applied to a bite also helps heal it and prevent infection.
Garlic is a pungent herb with a biting taste. As such, garlic is an effective repellant. For the best results, garlic must mature and be mixed with mineral oil and water to be used as a spray or detergent.
Lavender Oil
The pleasant aroma is not the only positive to treating ailments with lavender oil. This compound also offers specific anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties. When applied directly to a mosquito bite, lavender oil offers relief almost instantly.
More common during the spring and summer, mosquito bites are often hard to avoid. Nonetheless, using natural repellants and treatment options is an effective way to prevent and treat most insect bites.

Apple Cider Vinegar and Epsom Salts for Mosquito Bites
Applying ACV and rubbbing in Epsom Salts intermittently has been super helpful in the healing process for my mosquito bites. I tend to have an allergic reaction and mosquitos will often bite me, but no one else, when I am outside somewhere in the summer.
I will soak the ACV in a cotton ball or on a cotton circle pad and hold on my bites for a few minutes. After, I rub in a small portion of Epsom salts (about a dime size) and let them dissolve in the skin, in and around the bites. I do this a few times across the day. I've found this to both speed the healing as well as reduce the redness and itch.
Bat Boxes
Mosquito control. Whilst I burn incense coils or sticks, a good neighborly trick that SHOULD be practiced internationally is to install Bat Boxes at regular intervals in the area. Bats consume 10,000 to 15000 insects a day (per bat). Do the community a turn!

Citronella has long been a favorite natural insect repellent, particularly mentioned as a mosquito repellent. The question is, does it work? Citronella coils and candles have become a substantial little industry, but their effectiveness has definitely been called into question. Like other natural insect repellents, citronella oil is the essential oil extract of a certain genus of plants in the lemon grass family. Consensus on lemon grass is that it can be effective as a component of a multi-pronged defense against mosquito attacks. Think about combining citronella candles with a lavender and eucalyptus lotion or mix citronella in with several other herbs and essential oils for an effective mosquito repellent spray.
Coconut Oil and Lavender Oil

Beautyberry, coconut oil and lavender to repel mosquitos...
We have a huge mosquito problem here, and thanks to the invasion of aggressive Asian Tiger mosquitoes here about 10 years ago, we get attacked all day as well as night. I don't want to be slathering on chemicals but protection is a necessity to enjoy any time in the yard. I've read of various concoctions using a variety essential oils, but didn't have any of the listed ones on hand. In desperation I added about 10 drops of lavender essential oil to a small jar filled with VCO. We dip our fingers in the jar and rub the oil on any exposed skin and around the back of the neck to help keep them away from the face. So far it seems to be doing the trick, and of course the VCO is also a nice skin treatment :)
I'm looking to get some beautyberry bushes to plant as I've just read that they are a great repellent - you can crush the leaves and rub them on and it's apparently as effective as DEET. It also is 100% effective against ticks. In the meantime, my lavender/VCO mixture is definitely helping. I've also seen the info in spraying Listerine around the yard and that does seem to help as well.

09/14/2012I have been using virgin coconut oil on my skin this summer simply because it makes my skin feel great. Recently I watched mosquitos hover around my arms and legs and then fly away. Everyone sitting on the patio with me was complaining about the mosquitos and they were not bothering me at all. I used to be mosquito repellent for everyone else!

10/12/2012I have found that a dab of Lavender Oil on a mossie bite removes the itch within about 2 - 5 minutes. I used it on my children to prevent them from scratching until they break the skin then leaving marks.
The downside is the smell. I noticed that mossies tend to stay away after application as well.
I have told many people of this who were using creams. Many disbelieved until they tried it. Now they don't use anything else.

DEET really is a toxic substance, and if it weren't that our tolerance for mosquitoes is so low, we probably would have banned its use long ago. DEET was developed by the US military in 1946, if that is any indication of the low level of safety concern in the chemical's development. There are certainly more toxic insect repellents out there, and DEET is much less detrimental to birds and other forms of life than many insect-targeting chemicals, but it still is a chemical that can burn through plastics and synthetics. DEET products strongly discourage its use around the eyes and mouth or simple cuts and scrapes, and users are encouraged to wash the product off as soon as it is no longer needed. Ingestion can be fatal and use on children is discouraged. Fortunately, natural alternatives can be just as effective, and the primary advantage in DEET is simply that it is longer lasting. Multiple applications of natural repellents can overcome this advantage entirely.
Devices and Decorations

Bamboo sticks have become a popular bathroom decorative item for use with pleasantly scented essential oils. It's a great alternative to chemical air fresheners, but you could also use this system as an alternative to citronella candles and mosquito coils. Instead of sweet-scented bathroom essential oil mixes, you could pour mosquito repelling mixtures into the container for the bamboo sticks, place one or two of these around your deck or patio, and let the bamboo sticks slowly release the insect repellent. Lavender oil is evidently effective against mosquitoes and much more attractive than most alternative pest repellents, but the garlic solution listed elsewhere on this page would also work very well.
Dill Pickle
Posted by Sunrose (Los Angeles, CA) on 07/21/2015
Last year I visited our property in Northern California for 2 weeks. Despite using natural bug sprays, I left with 150 mosquito bites. I went back 2 weeks later to live there 6 months. I was only bit twice from yellow jackets, tho they took a chunk. Was thankful to run into a neighbor who gave me an old farmers trick. Eat 1 dill pickle/day.
Difficult to find without yellow #5 and other harmful ingredients. Unless you wanna buy a gallon of Vlassic for $3.99. I opted for Trader Joe's pure ingredients and small jar, smaller pickles for the same price. They were a godsend!
Tip for relieving is applying a warm-hot spoon against bites. It puts the fire out.
I'm tempted to try for fleas. In visiting a friend, her neighbors dog's fleas are attacking only me.
Being a vegetarian 40+ years has its rewards, bites/stings aren't one of them.
Dryer Sheet Tied to Waist
Posted by Karen (Florida, US) on 09/04/2015
My friend, who's 5 year old was getting eaten alive at his soccer games, just told me a remedy she heard about from another soccer mom. You tie a dryer sheet (she used bounty but any brand will probably work) on one of the belt loops like flag football. The mosquitoes don't like the smell of the dryer sheets. She said it's amazing how well it works. Thought I'd pass it on...
Dryer Sheets
Posted by Mattc (Boston, Ma USA) on 09/08/2012
not a spray, but I tried this and it seemed to work. just take bounce drier sheets (1- 3) and put in your back pockets. I also took one and gently rubbed on my head and neck before going out, but I will not recommend this, it is just a consideration.

A scientific study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that a 30% concentration of oil of eucalyptus was the most effective natural mosquito repellent. Lemon eucalyptus seems the most effective, more effective even than low-concentration DEET sprays and lotions and far less toxic.

Garlic naturally repels a number of biting insects, including mosquitoes. Some people recommend eating garlic to prevent mosquito bites, but you can get the same effect with a garlic oil spray.
- Take 10 or 12 finely chopped cloves of garlic
- Mix them in 4 oz mineral oil
- Set aside for a couple of days to mature
- Strain the mixture through a sieve or coffee filter into a spray bottle filled with a half cup of water and a few drops of dish detergent.
This mixture should repel mosquitoes anywhere, whether you spray it on your skin or just on objects around your outdoors gathering spot. (Caution: garlic can irritate skin, so test on a small area of your skin first.) You can also immerse strips of cloth in this mixture and hang them around your outdoor gathering to repel mosquitoes.

Geraniol is the essential oil extract from a number of plants including geraniums, roses, lemon grass, bergamot, and even carrots. It is an effective if somewhat expensive commercially available alternative to chemical mosquito repellents. Geraniol has a rose-like scent, and studies are beginning to find that it is the most effective natural mosquito control option.

Homeopathic Remedy Staphysagria
Posted by Linen53 (Colorado) on 09/07/2013
The only thing that works for me to repel mosquitoes is staphysagria (larkspur). I take 2 homeopathic pellets (30C strength) 3 times a day. It creates an odor that the mosquitoes do not like. The only drawback is it can create digestion problems. But it's worth it to keep the mosquitoes at bay.
Hot Spoon Remedy
Posted by Sara (Texas) on 07/04/2014
Hi, A nurse told us about this remedy for mosquito bites and my family tried it and SURE ENOUGH, IT WORKED. Take a spoon from your kitchen and run hot water over it to make it hot, then apply it on the bite until it is no longer hot. We applied it twice to the bite. The itch went away and so did the bite. I had the bite at night and the next morning when I woke up, I noticed that I could not even see where the bite had been. Next time I get a mosquito bite, I am going to apply the hot spoon to the bite just once to see if it still works with one application. I love earth clinic, thank you all for sharing natural ways to help others.

9/5/09 - Fisher Grabs ASA Late Models Feature; Daugherty Wins Street Stocks at Shangri-La II
Joe Brown and Jim Lamoreaux had front row starting spots for the 25-lap ASA Late Models feature. Brown jumped out to the early lead as Travis Fisher quickly cleared Scott Nurmi and Joe Beretta to move into the 3rd position after starting 5th. Fisher then closed up on Lamoreaux and took the 2nd position. The first caution came out on lap 6 when Bill Catania dropped fluid on the race track. Brown and T. Fisher took the field back to the green flag and the two battled side by side for the top spot for 3 laps until T. Fisher got loose coming off turn 4. That allowed Lamoreaux to sneak by and move into 2nd. Lamoreaux was then in hot pursuit and was all over the back bumper of leader Brown. The caution flew on lap 10 when the front two cars touched and went around in turns 3 and 4. The restart had T. Fisher and Joe Beretta lead the field back to green and T. Fisher quickly cleared him. Brown regained the 2nd position and Lamoreaux regained 3rd on lap 15 passing Paul Koehler and Beretta. T. Fisher opened up a half straightaway advantage and went on to score the win. Brown finished 2nd, Lamoreaux 3rd, Koehler 4th and Larry Fisher cleared Joe Beretta in the closing laps to complete the top 5. Jim Lamoreaux won the 10-lap heat race held for the division.
With 17 cars signed into the pit area for action, the Street Stocks had an exciting 25-lap feature event. Scott Reagan and Mike Nichols brought the field the to the green. Nichols powered to the lead as Chris Daugherty followed with AJay Potrzebowski running in 3rd. Nichols managed to open up a half car length advantage over Daugherty who was issued a 1 position penalty for passing below the yellow line. The caution flew on lap 5 when Bobby Newman slowed in turn 1 and at that time AJay Potrzebowski moved into 2nd. Nichols and Potrzebowski led the field back to the green flag and on this restart Chad McDonald cleared RJ Zacharias for the 4th position. On lap 9, Daugherty regained the 2nd position from AJay Potrzebowski. Terry Ostrander spun on the front straight and brought the caution on the speedway on lap 10. Nichols and Daugherty would take the field back to speed. AJay Potrzebowski got a run to the inside of Daugherty and took second but Daugherty made the outside stick and quickly snatched the position back. At the halfway point, Nichols, Daugherty, AJay Potrzebowski, McDonald and Zacharias made up the top 5. AJay Potrzebowski and Chad McDonald got together in turn 4 while battling hard for 3rd and touched the wall bringing the yellow out again on lap 14. Nichols and Daugherty dragged raced back to the green flag on the restart. The battle heated up for the 3rd position as Lee Sharpsteen and RJ Zacharias battled nose to tail for numerous laps until Sharpsteen cleared him on lap 17. Race long leader Mike Nichols engine expired on lap 19 giving the top spot to Lee Sharpsteen. Then on lap 21, Lee Sharpsteen lost an engine and RJ Zacharias spun on the back straight. The green came out again and the intensity was like no other. Daugherty and Terry use the slingshot move into turn but Daugherty powered back to the lead. Terry Potrzebowski and AJay Potrzebowski mixed it up for the 3rd spot and T. Potrzebowski grabed the position. The caution came out for the final time when Terry Ostrander spun on the front straight and this set up a green, white, checkered finish. Dylan Terry and Terry Potrzebowski gave Daugherty one more run but Daugherty was able to hold on and score his first ever win at Shangri-La II. Terry Potrzebowski finished 2nd after passing Dylan Terry, who finished 3rd. AJay Potrzebowski and Scott Reagan completed the top 5. RJ Zacharias and Chad McDonald won the 8-lap heat races.
Tyler Yeagle was declared the winner of the 25-lap DIRT Street Stock feature event after Ed Kotari failed post race technical inspection. Josh Parker and Daryl Krebs completed the top 3. Nick Robinson dominated the 8-lap heat race held for the division. Mark Shipman won a set of heads donated by Joe Chandler and Chandler Racing Chassis.
Shane Riffel won both Twin 20 races for the Cup Lites. Riffel also won the 5 lap dash for cash over Scott Wylie and the 8-lap heat race.

Billy Budd
by Herman Melville
Billy Budd Truth Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Now to invent something touching the more private career of Claggart, something involving Billy Budd, of which something the latter should be wholly ignorant, some romantic incident implying that Claggart's knowledge of the young bluejacket began at some period anterior to catching sight of him on board the seventy-four – all this, not so difficult to do, might avail in a way more or less interesting to account for whatever of enigma may appear to lurk in the case. But in fact there was nothing of the sort. (11.2)
Here the narrator is telling us the truth. He admits that, if he could give more back story on John Claggart, Claggart's actions might be more readily comprehensible. Yet he tells us, in all honesty, that such a background does not exist. Claggart, like Billy, is largely an "enigma." Try to find places where the narrator is not so straightforward about what he does and doesn't know. Is he consistently trying to give us a true relation of events or is he constantly putting his own spin on things?
Quote #5
Who in the rainbow can draw the line where the violet tint ends and the orange tint begins? Distinctly we see the difference of the colors, but where exactly does the one first blendingly enter into the other? So with sanity and insanity. (21.1)
The narrator here argues that it cannot be definitively said whether Vere is sane or insane. In other words, as far as human knowledge is concerned, there is no truth of the matter. How would you try to decide whether or not Vere is insane? Do you actually have to determine whether or not he is sane, or do you just have to determine whether or not his behavior is rational? Is that any easier?
Quote #6
In response came syllable not so much impeded in the utterance as might have been anticipated. They were these: "Captain Vere tells the truth. It is just as Captain Vere says, but it is not as the master-at-arms said. I have eaten the King's bread and I am true to the King." (21.12)
In front of the drumhead court, Billy confirms the truth of Vere's accusation while simultaneously denying Claggart's false accusation. What does it mean for Billy to be "true to the King," especially considering that he has never met the King? How would you characterize Billy's relationship to the King in the story? Has he actually been true to the King throughout?

China becoming major wind player
China is one of the fastest growing wind markets in the world with its rapidly expanding demand for renewable energy. GBI Research reports that China's revenue is growing significantly from this sector and that of last year's top 10 players in the global wind turbine market by market share four were Chinese.
According to GBI, the wind turbine market's 2011 primary shareholder for capacity additions was Danish Vestas with 12.7 percent; second was China's Sinovel Wind with 9 percent of the market; third-place Xinjiang GoldWind Science & Technology took an 8.7 percent share; eighth place Guodian United Power took 7.4 percent; and Ming Yang Wind Power came in tenth with 3.6 percent.
With the generation cost of wind declining significantly, the technology is becoming more affordable and increasing even in previously unexplored markets. Asia-Pacific has recorded the largest wind power capacity additions of any region each year since 2009 and GBI Research forecasts this trend to continue until the end of the decade.
Until 2010, Europe was the largest market for wind energy followed by Asia-Pacific and North America. However, China is expected to attain the worldwide top rank in this market due to an increase in investments, its long coastline and large land mass, according to Transparency Market Research.

Spooky Treats
Aren't these Halloween cookies from Duane Park Patisserie adorable?
We spotted them at the TriBeCa bakery and thought they were too clever not to share. Of course, form follows function and luckily for us, they were pretty tasty too. We were partial to the chewy gingerbread skeleton, although the white chocolate tombstone was no slouch either.
Paired with a bottle of Southern Tier's Pumking beer, they made for the perfect afternoon snack. (If you haven't tried Pumking yet, you must—imagine the most delicious pumpkin pie you've ever tasted in a beer form. It's that good!)
If you grab a cookie from Duane Park for yourself, pop across the street to Laughing Man, Hugh Jackman's coffee shop.
