That is insane - 17 per second jeez
According to reports from Amazon.com, the Nintendo Wii, the hot console that was nearly impossible to find for Christmas, was selling from their website at the amazing rate of 17 Wiis sold per second.
During the holidays, Amazon.com had Wiis available, although they are currently sold out. Individual sellers on Amazon are still selling Wiis, although the current low price is $400.
Amazon said that the 2007 holiday season was its strongest yet, with the Wii, along with the recently released DVD "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" among its top selling products.
Rest In Peace

In Brief: Teen suspended for asking Miss America to prom
Asking Miss America to prom backfires on teen
YORK -- A central Pennsylvania student is in hot water for asking Miss America to the prom during a question-and-answer session at school.
Patrick Farves, 18, said he received three days of in-school suspension Thursday because he asked Nina Davuluri to the prom.
The senior at Central York High School stood up and popped the prom question, then walked to the stage with a plastic flower. Davuluri just laughed and the students cheered.
School officials heard about Farves' plan in advance and warned him not to do it. He has apologized for disrupting the event.
The school said students are disciplined for breaking rules, and this incident is no different.
Mom gives birth to 131/2 pound baby boy
DREXEL HILL -- A woman has given birth to a baby weighing more than 13 pounds at a southeastern Pennsylvania hospital.
Officials at Delaware County Memorial Hospital said Brian and Danielle Dwyer's son, who was born Monday, is the largest baby they can recall there.
Waldo James Mysterious Dwyer tipped the scales at 13 pounds, 81/2 ounces.
The couple loved the "Where's Waldo?" books as children, so that's where they got their son's first name.
Brian Dwyer said the middle name Mysterious is because Waldo was born under a lunar eclipse on April 14, 2014 -- a date that reads the same forward and backward.
One of Monuments Men to get honorary degree
EASTON -- A Pennsylvania college is paying tribute to one of the last surviving members of the World War II group known as the Monuments Men.
Lafayette College will present an honorary degree to 88-year-old Harry Ettlinger at its commencement ceremony on May 24.
The Monuments Men worked to save cultural treasures across Europe that had been seized by the Nazis. Ettlinger was a U.S. soldier who helped recover stolen art stored in German salt mines.
George Clooney recently directed and starred in a historically based movie called "The Monuments Men."
Ettlinger, who lives in Rockaway, N.J., inspired the film character named Sam Epstein.
Organic food firm coming to Pennsylvania
DuBOIS -- A company that specializes in premium and organic food and drink products plans to open a production facility in central Pennsylvania that's expected to create 100 jobs.
WhiteWave Foods, based in Broomfield, Colo., plans to occupy a vacant facility in Sandy Township, Clearfield County.
The company makes Silk brand soy milk, Earthbound Farm brand products, and Land O' Lakes coffee creamers and drinks. Its other brands include International Delight and Horizon Organic.
WhiteWave President Blaine McPeak said the company looks forward to opening the production facility.

Take 30: South Pier is a special place
Erie people are pulled, irresistibly, toward water. We can't help it -- the big pond to the north holds a spell over us. Mostly, we can never get enough of the spectacular views that Lake Erie affords us.
We store up memories of the golden rays of sun shimmering on the water in summertime to sustain us during the endless months of January and February.
During the recent Beach Glass Festival at the Bayfront Convention Center, the exhibits were interesting, but I soon wandered outdoors to soak up the sun and enjoy the stunning views. For me, they were the real draw.
Outside the convention center, it feels as if you're practically standing in the middle of the bay, with something special to see in every direction.
People like Ed Kissell and S.O.N.S. of Lake Erie work diligently to keep the bayfront open and accessible to everyone -- so that we all feel as if we own a piece of it. Over time, we form attachments to specific places on the water.
The place where I feel most at home is the South Pier, a stretch of concrete several blocks long that borders the channel leading into and out of the bay. Across the way stands the North Pier, which is also nice, but requires a drive to Presque Isle.
To get to the South Pier, you take the East Bayfront Parkway to the Port Access Road, which is just past, or just before, the city's wastewater treatment plant, depending on whether you're traveling from the west or from the east.
Follow the road to the end and you'll find a campground, boat club and renovated pier that's one of the most interesting places in town.
My sons and I used to fish there often, and we loved listening to the musical sounds of Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean and other languages spoken there.
Many people on the pier fish for fun, but you can tell by the serious approach of others that they're out to put dinner on the table. It's best not to disrupt their concentration.
The amenities added to the area around the South Pier in recent years enhance the scenery and enjoyment there.
I love the park bench near the start of the pier, for instance, that bears the inscription: "In memory of Alex Barlekoff, 1931-2009. Now the fish can rest." It's apparently not an exaggeration. Alex was an angling legend on the pier.
When Pio's was in business, we used to take pizza down to the South Pier and dine at one of the three picnic tables there. A few weeks ago, during the Wild Rib Cookoff at Perry Square, we bought some great ribs at the festival, but could find no place to sit down. So we ended up at the pier.
As we nibbled on those delicious ribs, the sun setting before us, we felt like millionaires. We waved at the people on the yachts that moved languidly through the channel. On this night, it seemed we were all in the same boat.
Last summer, when Crosby, Stills & Nash performed on the beach, I must confess that I was too frugal to buy tickets. "Cheap" is a nasty word, and I'll stick with my original argument that it would be folly to risk getting caught for hours in a traffic jam on the peninsula. It never happened, but that's beside the point.
We did head to the South Pier, however, and joined a crowd of about 100 thrifty souls at the end of the walkway. The band sounded pretty good from there, and it felt like one more bonus for those of us who love the pier.

GENESEE TOWNSHIP, MI – Eight upperclassmen celebrated Senior Night on the Genesee girls basketball team on Friday night.
Genesee's celebration was short-lived, though. Bendle spoiled the occasion with an easy 72-25 road victory over the Wolves to end the regular season 17-2 overall.
At halftime, the Tigers led by 30 points and maintained a huge lead for the entire second half.
Senior Emily Malin was Bendle's top scorer with 35 points off seven 3-pointers. Malin posted 14 points with four 3-pointers in the third quarter. Anna Vollmar added 12 points to go along with 21 rebounds. Jacqueline Simpson posted nine points with six rebounds.
Genesee's Laken Hammon finished with nine points to lead the Wolves. Chelsea Blough and Alexis Terrell both contributed six points apiece.
Bendle will play its district opener at home on Monday against Beecher at 6 p.m. Genesee will take on Atherton on Monday as well on the road at 6 p.m.

Romney Successfully Wooing the Religious Right with Promises of Right Wing Judges
Last week, we unveiled a campaign featuring a website, web ad, and report exposing Mitt Romney's dangerous agenda for America's courts, as demonstrated by the fact that Robert Bork has been tapped to lead Romney's constitutional and judicial advisory team.
As the report noted, Romney's choice of judicial advisors "spells serious trouble for the American people" ... and it is no surprise that it is also music to the ear of the Religious Right.
On today's episode of "WallBuilders Live," David Barton and Rick Green invited Jordan Sekulow, who worked for Romney back in 2008, to make the case as to why the Religious Right can and should support Romney. While Green was skeptical at first, Barton needed no convincing because Jay Sekulow (Jordan's father) was going to be involved in picking Romney's judges and that was all he needed to hear:
This has not been a hard thing for evangelicals to get over and support Romney and it shouldn't be a hard thing. When Romney ran four years ago, he wasn't my first choice but the reason I never got really worried about Romney was Jay Sekulow. And I tell you he has been very intimately involved in helping get folks like Alito and Roberts on the court. And four years ago, I heard that Sekulow is the guy that Romney has tapped to choose his judges and I said "that's it." I don't have any trouble with Romney because Isaiah 1:26 tells me the righteousness of nation is determined, not by the legislature, but by its judges. And if Romney's got folks like Sekulow picking his judges, I can live with that in a heartbeat.
When Jordan Sekulow joined the program, he made the case that conservatives should support Romney because he has pledged to nominate judges like Samuel Alito and John Roberts and has filled his campaign with people who are going to keep his feet to the fire:
Green: How important is it for us to recognize that if Romney is president, who has his ear? Who are the people that will consider those judges versus another four years of Obama if he gets another quarter of the judiciary appointed?
Sekulow: You've already got people who are long-time Romney supporters like my dad, who has argued thirteen cases before the Supreme Court and was very involved with President Bush - he was one of four people that were involved in the nomination process in the Bush White House - and so if you like Alito and Roberts, these are the kind of people. You have Judge Bork, who was filibustered by the Senate, voted down by the Senate actually, and he is on the Romney committee.
You want Kagan and Sotomayor, and I was at the Supreme Court during the 'Obamacare' oral arguments, you probably don't want more of that, or do you want more Alito and Roberts? And he's made those pledges; I think we need to come to the campaign say "alright, you made these pledges, we're going to keep you honest to them and keep your feet to the fire."

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - If you're planning to build a deck, planter, fence or picnic table with pressure-treated lumber, you may want to consider some alternatives.
This popular form of lumber - known as CCA-treated wood - will not be sold for home use after December 2003. In 2002, the Environmental Protection Agency and the wood-preservative industry voluntarily agreed to phase out the arsenic-tainted lumber, which has been around since the 1950s.
Homeowners aren't required to remove any existing structures created with CCA (chromatedcopper arsenate) wood, but painting the lumber or coating it regularly with a sealant helps reduce arsenic risks, according to a USA Today story.
The phase-out period gives the wood-preservative industry time to produce and market new moisture- and termite-resistant products with no arsenic in them. These lumbers aren't showing up at retailers just yet, but you can expect them to slowly but surely take over the market for residential needs.
One new preservative marketed as Preserve by Chemical Specialties Inc. in Charlotte, N.C., is made with copper and the fungicide quaternary. In short, it's called ACQ-treated lumber; ACQ stands for alkaline copper quaternary.
"It will do the same thing as pressure-treated lumber," said Jim Graves, sales and operations manager at Treated Lumber Outlet in Hampton, Va. "There will be some problems with fasteners, though. You can't use galvanized fasteners with ACQ lumber like you can with CCA because ACQ will eat them up, corrode them. You'll have to use stainless steel nails and screws with ACQ, and those fasteners are more expensive."
Also emerging on the retail scene is Wolmanized Natural Select, treated with copper and another fungicide called azole. For fasteners, this company recommends hot-dipped galvanized hardware.
Both new forms of treated wood contain more pricey copper to deter termites than CCA-treated lumber ever did, so the increased costs of making the products are passed on to the consumer. Each also contains a fungicide to guard against copper-tolerant fungi that still can attack wood.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) annually reviews the recommended Adult Immunization Schedule to ensure that the schedule reflects current recommendations for the licensed vaccines. In October 2009, ACIP approved the Adult Immunization Schedule for 2010, which includes several changes. A bivalent human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV2) was licensed for use in females in October 2009. ACIP recommends vaccination of females with either HPV2 or the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV4). HPV4 was licensed for use in males in October 2009, and ACIP issued a permissive recommendation for use in males. Introductory sentences were added to the footnotes for measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningococcal vaccines. Clarifications were made to the footnotes for measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, hepatitis A, meningococcal, and Haemophilusinfluenza type b vaccines, and schedule information was added to the hepatitis B vaccine footnote (Figures 1 and 2).

Additional information is available as follows: schedule (in English and Spanish) at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/adult-schedule.htm; adult vaccination at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/default.htm; ACIP statements for specific vaccines at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccine/pubs/acip-list.htm; and reporting adverse events at http://www.vaers.hhs.gov or by telephone, 800-822-7967.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) footnote (#2) includes language that a bivalent HPV vaccine (HPV2) has been licensed for use in females. Either HPV2 or the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV4) can be used for vaccination of females aged 19 through 26 years. In addition, language has been added to indicate that ACIP issued a permissive recommendation for use of HPV4 in males.
The measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) footnote (#5) has language added to clarify which adults born during or after 1957 do not need 1 or more doses of MMR vaccine for the measles and mumps components, and clarifies which women should receive a dose of MMR vaccine. Also, interval dosing information has been added to indicate when a second dose of MMR vaccine should be administered. Language has been added to highlight recommendations for vaccinating health-care personnel born before 1957 routinely and during outbreaks.
The term "seasonal" has been added to the influenza footnote (#6).
The hepatitis A footnote (#9) has language added to indicate that unvaccinated persons who anticipate close contact with an international adoptee should consider vaccination.
The hepatitis B footnote (#10) has language added to include schedule information for the 3-dose hepatitis B vaccine.
The meningococcal vaccine footnote (#11) clarifies which vaccine formulations are preferred for adults aged ≤55 years and ≥56 years, and which vaccine formulation can be used for revaccination. New examples have been added to demonstrate who should and should not be considered for revaccination.
The selected conditions for Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) footnote (#13) clarifies which high-risk persons may receive 1 dose of Hib vaccine.
The Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule has been approved by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American College of Physicians.

The University is racing to disseminate the information on the program; to receive, screen, and select applications; to invite applicants to interview; and to guide and enroll/place students in the designated hubs. On the other hand, the faculty are also to be solicited, recruited and hired; the programs accredited; the academic infrastructure established; the governance structure put in place. All these in three months by September 2012! The Pan-African University is far from ready to enroll students by September 2012. Considerable academic, logistical, technical, legal, management, governance, and public relation activities should be undertaken before rushing students to the system. Or else, the reputation of the program may be severely damaged at the outset.

Amarillo companies will have to wait until Jan. 3 to erect particular types of on-premises business signs under an extended moratorium approved Tuesday by the Amarillo City Commission.
Also Tuesday, the Amarillo City Commission:
Approved an $81,700 cost increase in an order for 19 new city buses due to additional specifications for the vehicles. The changes include upgrades to the passenger heating and cooling, modifications to ease the securing of a second wheelchair, and front-mount bicycle racks. Eighty percent of the funding for the now-$3.05 million purchase is from the Federal Transit Administration. The money for the upgrades already is in hand.
Hired McCormick Co. to provide local media and advertising services for a public health H1N1 influenza community outreach program. Work on the program is to begin immediately. The contract is capped at $80,000. It will be paid from a Texas Department of Health Services grant the city recently received.
Approved the $29,830 purchase of a computerized imaging system, newer technology that the Amarillo Police Department bomb squad will use for X-ray examination of suspicious items.
Despite objections from representatives of two sign companies, the commission tacked another 90 days onto a current 90-day ban due to expire Monday.
This time, though, the commission opted to exclude temporary signs from the ban so that stores and other businesses can use portable marquees, banners and other types of nonpermanent signs during the winter holiday shopping season.
"Temporary signs are important to the community, does that mean other (business) signs are not?" sign company owner Michael Wellborn asked while lodging a protest against the continued ban.
Under the moratorium, the city is not issuing permits for construction of on-premises business signs if they:
Exceed 300 square feet in area;
Rise more than 45 feet from the ground on property along interstate highways or 35 feet in other parts of the city;
Are changeable electronic message signs with displays exceeding 150 square feet in area; or,
Would constitute more than one business sign per lot frontage along any public street, highway or right of way.
The ban is needed to prevent a rush to get permits for signs that might not be allowed when an updated sign ordinance is enacted, Commissioner Jim Simms told Wellborn.
A committee appointed by the commission currently is drafting a new ordinance that would address electronic signs and tighten restrictions on other types of signs.
The five-member Sign Regulation Advisory Committee needs more time to hammer out a proposal and gather input from businesses that will be most affected by changes in the sign laws, Chairman Don Marsh said.
The panel also wants to conduct another public hearing before passing its recommendations to the city Planning and Zoning Commission and, ultimately, to the City Commission for approval, he said.
"Is this (moratorium) killing y'all economically?" Commissioner Madison Scott asked Wellborn and Jimmy Barnes, another sign company owner.
"No, it's not killing us economically," Wellborn said, explaining that it has, however, been difficult to bid jobs without knowing what the new rules will be. "Ninety days is three months. That's a quarter."
City Planning Director Kelley Shaw told the commission during its work session that he knows of only one sign permit denied due to the moratorium since its inception in July.
The sign regulation committee settled on some proposed standards for temporary signs after meeting Tuesday morning with industry representatives.
The conversation covered "the needs for businesses to be able to advertise sales and at certain times of the year ... and how long temporary signs are effective," Shaw said. "If they're up 365 days a year, do they lose their effectiveness? I think the term 'wallpaper' was used."
The committee decided that temporary sign permits should be good for 60 days, with a waiting period of 30 days between permits, Shaw said.
Banners, they determined, should be attached to buildings, "not between two trees or two sticks (in the ground)" and a tree," he said.

Sass & the City: Sweet dreams of everyday things
A few nights ago, I had a dream that I took a shower, washed my hair and was blow-drying it. With a leaf blower. While sitting on my roof.
I looked up the meaning of this bizarre slumbering brain movie in an online guide to dream interpretations. It stated that dreaming of a leaf blower means that you need to collect your thoughts to better process and understand your life.
I think this is a crock.
I believe the real reason behind my dream is that the leaves from last fall are still on my lawn, and I need to haul out the Black & Decker Lithium Leafhog and clear them out. My location on the peak of my house was probably indicative of the fact that my roof needs more repairs than Kenny Rogers' face.
So no matter what wacky interpretations the online site provides, I honestly believe dreams pretty much say it like it is.
Researcher Calvin S. Hall conducted a 40-year study that examined the dreams of more than 50,000 college students. The study showed that while many emotions were experienced during dreams, the most common was anxiety over actual situations in their lives.
This makes sense to me.
For example, a dream about "The Real Housewives of ...," well, anywhere, doesn't reflect discord and unresolved issues. It means that television programming is rapidly circling the deep, dark drain to eternal damnation.
If you dream of Dwight D. Eisenhower, it doesn't mean you long to assert more authority in your life. It means you're old.
If you dream Keith Urban is gorgeous, it does not represent divine influence, as the online site suggests. It means you do not need to see an ophthalmologist.
If, on the other hand you dream that the Kardashians have a purpose in life, you do need to see a psychotherapist.
Those dreams that you're having a dream mean you tend to be redundant.
If you dream of FarmVille, it actually does not symbolize the spirit of competition in your life. It means you have a deep-set need to get a life.
Finally, if you dream about Johnny Depp -- well, that's just awesome.

Looking forward to my first Mother's Day as a new mom, I realize I've discovered a whole new kind of love this year - the unconditional love of a mother for her daughter.
This deep and primal devotion is celebrated in the Maui OnStage production of "Steel Magnolias," which just happens to be showing this Mother's Day weekend at the Historic Iao Theater.
Kelly Schroeder plays M'Lynn Eatenton, and Arielle Lehua Simon is her daughter, Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie - two women whose strength is cloaked in sweet Southern charm, not unlike, well, a steel magnolia.
Article Photos
Maui OnStage photo
Truvy (Kristi Scott) and Shelby (Arielle Lehua Simon) share tales of romance and big hair.
Shelby has Type I diabetes, and her loving (some might say controlling) mother keeps a close eye on her condition. Schroeder and Simon are dynamic together as the struggling mother-daughter pair.
As Shelby prepares for her wedding to Jackson Latcherie, she gushes over her nuptial colors of "blush and bashful," but her mama derides the colors as "pink and pink." When Shelby dreams of having children, M'Lynn chides her that the doctors advise against it. "I never worry because I know you worry enough for the both of us!" replies a frustrated Shelby.
Fortunately, the mother and daughter have an enduring support system: Truvy's beauty salon. The entire play takes place, in the homey, feminine nest of beauty posters and old Cosmo magazines, radiating beneath the warmth of Truvy's Southern hospitality.
Fact Box
* Moms can see "Steel Magnolias" for free on Mother's Day with the purchase of one ticket for the 3 p.m. Sunday matinee (on the honor system). Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays, through Sunday, May 17. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for students and seniors, $15 for Sunday matinees; available at If the Shoe Fits, 21 N. Market St. in Wailuku, and online at www.mauionstage.com
As Truvy Jones, Kristi Scott dispenses motherly advice and words of wisdom, beginning with "there is no such thing as natural beauty" (her strict philosophy for 15 years). She is quick to share her beliefs with shy Annelle Dupuy-Desoto (Sharleen Lagatutta), the newcomer with a "past." Lagatutta plays just the right mix of recluse and fanatic to bring appeal to the strange character.
But Annelle's eccentricities are small compared to those of Ouiser Boudreaux. Marianne Vasquez gives M'Lynn's crotchety neighbor a crusty yet lovable quality through her measured delivery and convincing one-liners ("I'm not crazy - I've just been in a very bad mood for the last 40 years").
Jeanette Rucci as Clairee Belcher backs her up with mild humor, eager for gossip and quick to sympathize. Funny lines abound throughout the play, and the six women really nail the good ones.
The men in their lives never make an appearance in the salon - as M'Lynn says, "This is women's territory Drum thinks we run around naked or something." The "Magnolias" don't run around naked, but they do style their hair and paint their nails.
The hairdressing weaves seamlessly into the action under the direction of Jennifer Rose, with help from stage manager Shawndra Davis and local stylists. The hairdos create a fun focal point beneath the dialogue as Truvy rats Shelby's hair, and Annelle washes and rolls M'Lynn's. Sporting a blonde bouffant 'do herself in true '80s style, Truvy is not one to be skimpy with the hairspray.
The costumes designed by Sarah Loney reflect the '80s as well, but more subtly: a pair of leggings here, a wide belt and shoulderpads there. The salon set designed by Steven Dascoulias shifts through the seasons, with decorations changing and posters coming up and down.
As Shelby's situation becomes more serious, the women's friendship grows stronger, and their characters grow stronger as well. Based on real life experience, Robert Harling's script shares the grave nature of Type 1 diabetes in a compassionate way.
"Nobody cries alone in my presence," Truvy says - and by the powerful end of the play, that goes for the audience as well.

Contractual Duress and Relations of Power
Orit Gan
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; Columbia Law School
August 1, 2012
Harvard Journal of Law and Gender, Vol. 36, 2013
Consent is one of the pillars of contract law and the subject of much scholarly literature. At the same time, feminist scholarship concentrates on consent to sex and scarcely deals with contractual consent. This Article aims to bridge this scholarly gap. By focusing on duress doctrine in the context of relations of power, it uses feminist insights about consent to examine the liberal notion of consent to contract. The application of feminist scholarship regarding consent shows that duress doctrine is narrow and disregards context and power imbalances between parties. As a result, coercive contracts are enforced, to the economic detriment of aggrieved parties. This Article proposes the development of a broader, more complex duress doctrine that is sensitive to social inequality and context and that includes aggrieved parties' experiences and perspectives.

This Saturday and Sunday in New York City, the halls of a secret society reveal all, ancient burial grounds welcome the living, and the gates blocking an abandoned hospital fall ajar.
It's all part of Open House New York, an annual weekend where hundreds of places that are typically sealed off from the public allow access and offer tours. And with a city as caked in history as this one, there are centuries of sites to pick from.
In Manhattan, a guide leads visitors through Greenwich Village and the New York University campus. A scavenger hunt leads players through Revolutionary War-era downtown, with stops at Federal Hall and Fraunces Tavern. The Freemasons society relaxes its rules, allowing non-members to tour its Grand Lodge. The Church of the Transfiguration, beamed down to 29th Street from some fairytale countryside, shows off its 14th-century stained glass.
In the Bronx, the New York Botanical Garden is dropping its grounds fees, allowing guests to stroll among more than 70,000 different plant species, including an international collection of azaleas and rhododendrons growing among native oaks and tulip trees. St. Paul's Church, which dates from 1763 and was later used as a hospital during the Revolutionary War, is allowing walks through its cemetery and staging a reenactment of the Battle of Pell's Point.
Historic houses across Queens are opening for the weekend, including the Voelker Orth Museum house, which has a Victorian-era bird sanctuary and garden still maintained using period techniques. The borough's only working farm, on the grounds of the Queens County Farm Museum, is also open for touring its greenhouse, barns and orchards.
The growing continues in Brooklyn, where the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm cultivates 6,000 square-feet of organic vegetables beneath sweeping views of the skyscrapers across the East River. Locally produced bourbon is the star crop during a tour of a whiskey distillery still in operation since before Prohibition. A historian-led walk through the Flatbush neighborhood includes stops at stately Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and Greek Revival houses.
Sprawling across Staten Island, what was once one of the world's largest landfills at Fresh Kills has been converted to a serene park and nature preserve. Trundle across it on a bus trip led by the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation.
For those who can't make it to New York this weekend, there are now Open House weekends hosted in cities across the world, from Jerusalem to Barcelona to Chicago and Rome.

Former Delaware Senate candidate and Tea Party affiliate Christine O'Donnell denied allegations Thursday that she misused campaign funds.
"There's been no impermissible use of campaign funds whatsoever," O'Donnell told "Good Morning America" Thursday. "You have to look at this whole thug politic tactic for what it is. ... I'm confident that we will be cleared of any charges.
Reports indicate federal authorities have launched a criminal investigation to look into whether O'Donnell illegally used campaign money to pay personal bills. The investigation is being conducted by two federal prosecutors and two FBI agents, according to an anonymous source who told the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, O'Donell said neither she nor her campaign have been informed of a federal investigation.
"We have heard of no investigation. The AP has been tipped off before my lawyer or our campaign or anyone has been notified," O'Donnell said. "The woman leading the CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) complaint is a former (Joe) Biden staffer who is so far to the left that she's to the left of most leftists."
O'Donnell catapulted onto the national stage after winning Delware's Republican primary for the U.S. Senate -- beating long time Delaware congressman Mike Castle.

"Frappe Vs. Milkshake"
Yes, there is a difference
Written by Susan Reilly
One hot night recently, an employee of Goldenrod in Manchester spent an inordinate amount of time explaining the difference between a milkshake and a frappe to a puzzled patron.
Clearly not from around here, probably not from New England in fact, this lost soul insisted that a milkshake is what we lovingly call a frappe. She was determined to win — because there is a big price difference between the two.
"Well, can I have ice cream in the milkshake?" asked the customer.
"Yes, but then that is a frappe," replied the employee. In the end the customer ordered a frappe, because she wanted no part of milk whipped with syrup.
"It happens all the time," said Ron Diburro, the manager of Goldenrod. "A frappe really is a New Hampshire thing and visitors have a tough time with it."
Webster's defines a milkshake as a "a thoroughly shaken or blended drink made of milk, flavoring syrup and often ice cream."
A frappe, defines Webster, is a "a thick milk shake."
This is where the confusion begins. Depending on where you are, a frappe and a milkshake are two different drinks, one in the same or one or the other may not even exist in the local vocabulary at all.
Frozen drinks — such a frappes and now the trendy smoothie — have a following entirely all their own.
While summer is ice cream season, not everyone want s to furiously lick a cone trying to out run the inevitable melt that will run down to your elbow. Some of us want to patiently sip our ice cream, whipped frothy, neatly thru a thick straw.
So what is the deal with the whole frappe-milkshake thing? In most parts of the country, if you order a milkshake (you won't see a frappe on the menu) you will get what we consider to be a frappe.
Here, if you order a milkshake, you will get a drink made of milk and a flavored syrup whipped in a blender and typically available in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.
A frappe is a drink made with ice cream, whipped in the same blender and can be made in any flavor of ice cream that is available.
All of this debate may be moot anyways, as the smoothie — frappes sometimes healthier cousin — takes center stage. With a smoothie, though, anything goes. And don't be fooled by slick marketing touting the health benefits of berries and yogurt and such— some smoothies are so full of fat and sugar you might as well enjoy that frappe you really wanted in the first place.

Frappe V. Milkshake!!
Labels: food, social culture
1 comment:
Milkshake... milk with flavoring
Frappe.... milk, flavoring AND ice cream
Unfortunately, areas OUTSIDE of New England make milkshakes WITH ice cream but call it a milkshake like those living in the MidWest!
Frappe... has ice cream
Milkshake... does NOT (necessary) have ice cream

Once again, we need to be clear about who the actor is. Non-transferable powers do not exist in the human sense. You cannot be prevented from telling me a secret if we can communicate. Ownership (i.e. title) is a social abstraction, and quite another matter it is useful not to confuse the two. However, we *can* specify and enforce policies in which *programs* are not permitted to transfer powers. In this sense the ACL mechanism is not fraudulent. I think that the philosophical problem with ACLs is not that they describe unenforceable policies (they do not), but rather that tagging programs with something called a "user id" conveys a deeply misleading intuition about what policy and protections are actually being enforced by the mechanism; the reality has nothing to do with users.

I have been away so long.. I feel like a newbie again. So, its been what, about 3 weeks post op?
The good:
-incisions are pretty well healed
-less pain than before
-everything was benign and the hysterectomy took care of the endometriosis I did not know I had.. no friggin wonder.
-no more percoset just the 600 Ibuprofen
the concerns:
-sleep is elusive and 3:30am is my nemesis. I am taking melatonin but so far, no such luck. In the last 3 weeks the only time I slept through the night I had a toddy (tea, honey and rum) and a 600 ibuprofen. Not something I can do nightly.
-I am on an estrogen patch since I am too young for complete menopause. Apparently I need some to help thwart osteoparosis and a host of other issues for a time. I flash a bit but mostly can not regulate my body temperature. Doc says this is normal.. pfft! HOW WOULD HE KNOW? Oh did I mention the occasional mood swing? Duck!
-my shaking hands have increased. Lucky me I found out "essential tremors" run in the family. Crafting has become a bit difficult.
-Went for a med check with my MD and he would like to see me "aggressively lose weight and increase my fitness" in the coming months. Umm yeah..ok
So, for the past few weeks.. to be honest I have eaten what I wanted when I was hungry. I know its time to start getting back on track and I feel like such a noob. Ok so I bought some whey protein (no whole 30 at least for now) and now just have to find the energy to make the right foods instead of eating foods of convenience. Its 8:30 and I have not eaten anything yet.. going to make some eggs I think.. I still have a headache from yesterday. Here is something I think as well.. tell me how far off I am:
If you eat low fat, you could have natural sugars (I am thinking fruit) or moderate carbs, If you eat high fat you need to eat low to no carbs so very little natural sugars. Protein should remain the same in both counts. Am I right, or have I totally lost it? I have my primal blueprint book next to me but to be honest, my head hurts to bad to go back and read read read..
I have missed you all while I have been gone. I will be catching up on your journals.
