Pioneer Woman's Delicious, Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Total Time
Prep 1 hr
Cook 30 mins
This is a great recipe from the Pioneer Woman. She says it especially great at Thanksgiving because you can make it a day ahead of time and just remove it from the refrigerator on Thanksgiving to bake. She also loves butter and often uses more than the recipe calls for. It is delicious!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 lbs potatoes, Russet or 5 lbs yukon gold potatoes
- 3⁄4 cup butter, softened (or more)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1⁄2-3⁄4 cup half-and-half
- 1⁄2-1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1⁄2-1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup butter (optional)
- Peel potatoes and rinse off. Cut them in half or quarters into about the same size and place in saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and cook until just done. Drain potatoes into a colander. Shake off the excess water from potatoes and return them to the saucepan you cooked them and place back on the burner. Turn the heat on low and mash potatoes.
- Turn the heat off and slice in the softened butter and cream cheese. Next add the half and half-start with 1/2 cup, then add more if needed, seasoned salt and pepper. Mash everything together. Add more half and half and seasoning if needed. PW says try not to oversalt but definitely don't undersalt!
- Spread mashed potatoes into a greased baking dish. If you like, slice 1/4 cup butter into pats and place on top of the poatatoes. (Pioneer Woman says you can never have enough butter.). Cover the dish.
- At this point you can bake it in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes or cover and refrigerate a day or two. If refrigerated, remove an hour before baking so the center can warm up and then bake as directed. PW says to bake it covered but she has baked it uncovered with no problems.

Great and easy potatoes! Made as written and they came out creamy like when I use a hand mixer, but I used a masher. Served these with lots of butter and salt. Made for Football Pool Win 2012-13.
I made this yesterday for Thanks Giving. I just wanted creamy potatoes and I got such a great surprise. These are the best potatoes but more than the taste. Hand mashing them on the stove while it cooks low was it. Today we ate the last of them right out of the refrigerator and not one bit of moisture, water separation and they were exactly like I made them yesterday. Taste was outrageous.
These are great! One of her mashed recipes has 2 sticks butter to 5 lbs potatoes... 1/2 cup is enough! <br/>I add garlic powder or roasted garlic.

Do you have a favorite soup you make with the tasty results?

I've done both, but am looking for new options in the meal soup category. Shared recipes welcome!
Do you have a favorite soup you make with the tasty results?
Do you simply drink the broth?
I've done both, but am looking for new options in the meal soup category. Shared recipes welcome!
I just made my first pot of bone broth ever - I made my family save me all their lamb bones from dinner and threw them in a pot. I seriously could have drunk the stuff on it's own, it smelled so umami and delicious. I did, actually, that night, because I couldn't go to sleep, so I figured the hot broth would make me sleepy.
However, today I chipped the white fat off the top of the broth (it gelled really well) and used it to fry sliced onions for French onion soup and some garlic until it was soft, then added the broth with some water and herbs and simmered it. It's really good - I've had it with my breakfast and lunch. I think that's what I'll end up doing from now on, French onion is easily my favorite soup.
french onion with guyre cheese on top.
miss the crusty bread however!
Chicken and shallot and add an egg!
My favourite soup is curried butternut squash soup! it is heaven!
Oh my god French Onion soup! I am so glad I clicked on this topic. I didn't realize you could make it with bone broth! I usually just drink it as is, or if it's like jello, sometimes I eat it as beef jello.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
I make carrot and coriander soup, spinach and coconut soup, courgette and tarragon soup, "leftover" soup, and I also use my stock when frying meats to add a little liquid to the pan and moistness to the meat, for reducing down and making a sauce, adding to vegetables to give a little bit of body to the taste. I also put some in mashed potatoes (when I do them for the children), in mashed cauliflower for me, and always add some to any savoury sauce I make.
I just drink it. Well usually I use a bowl and soup spoon, but sometimes a cup. It really is quite filling. It has become my new go-to. I froze it in 2 & 3 cup containers.
65lbs gone and counting!!

Thanks Golangrock...My onion soup came out wonderful! It never occured to me to make that at home.
It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Cheats
Hmmm, I've tried both of the steam versions and neither of them work for me, (i do not have the origin version) any suggestions? Trainer won't even recognize the game.
If you are using the Skidrow release it may not work with that.
I just don't see why developers are so upset over trainers for Single Player games -- this doesn't even have a multiplayer aspect to it does it? Why would they care?
I'm being cautious using the new trainer for Origin, but it seems to be working. At least I have plenty of gold now. I'm crashing frequently, but that has nothing to do with the trainer. It's my computer. I crash in other games too.
Hrm... How have you got it to work?
Nothing happens on my end. Using the trainer just causes crashing for me.

Websterville man arrested in NJ on drug charges
provided photo Eric Deltoro, 38, of Websterville is seen in this police booking photo.
BARRE Prosecutors say a Websterville man is facing charges for allegedly having around $25,000 worth of cocaine and a loaded handgun while traveling with his wife and young son in New Jersey.
Eric Deltoro, 38, pleaded not guilty to charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with the intent to distribute, possession with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school, and possession of a firearm while committing a narcotics offense.
A statement from the Mercer County prosecutors office in New Jersey said police arrested Deltoro on Jan. 30 after the offices Special Investigations Unit received information that he would be traveling to the Hamilton Township area to purchase a large quantity of powder cocaine.
Officers saw Deltoro buying gas, and Hamilton police pulled him over later that evening, according to the prosecutors statement. Deltoro was taken into custody, and a police dog searching the vehicle reacted positively to the scent of narcotics, the statement said. Police searched the vehicle and found a cloth bag containing nine ounces of powder cocaine and a fully loaded .40-caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun with a laser sight.
Deltoro also had $2,375 on him at the time of his arrest, prosecutors said.
Deltoros wife was not charged and was released. His bail was set at $250,000, and it couldnt be confirmed Tuesday evening whether he was still being held.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE The nominating petitions are starting to trickle in, many are still circulating and more...

And, in addition to Fugazi not making sense because of the pricing issue, why would Ian MacKaye choose now to get back together with them when he put out his first Evens record in five years just a month ago?
Jack White was very underwhelming at OSL. Do I think it was an "off" performance from him? Yes. Do I think he could headline Coachella? questionable. the fact that he plays material from all throughout his career makes me lean towards yes, considering the Black Keys headlined with a set based off their last two albums, and Kings of Leon basically the same.

HONOLULU - As it turns out, DeSean Jackson's wait for another chance to play at Aloha Stadium won't come to an end with Sunday's Pro Bowl.
The Eagles receiver pulled out of the NFL all-star game with a sprained left knee, the same knee he injured in the Eagles' loss to the Packers in the first round of the playoffs. Jackson practiced with the NFC on Wednesday, but didn't take reps yesterday.
He initially spoke with reporters as if nothing was wrong. When asked whether the Pro Bowl fit his style of play, Jackson said, "We'll see how it goes. I'm blessed with the opportunity."

Now, I would never call myself a Fan Girl. I love pop culture but I usually lean toward the B-side of all that is normally considered pop and culture. Have never watched American Idol, rarely watch TV in general. Not that I'm against it – it's just something that I am not inclined to do. Books are, obviously, another story. Movies too. I love books and will pretty much read anything. I am a bit of a literary snob, but am not above a great Stephanie Plum story. Entertainment is Entertainment and I LIKE to be entertained. I do not go ga-ga. I rarely read a book twice, watch a movie twice, or listen to a CD over and over. Just not my personality.
Except when it comes to Neko Case I adore Neko Case. I would marry Neko Case. I would follow her to hell and back. I bought my first CD of her's two years ago (Fox Confessor Brings the Flood). This CD was on loop in our house for weeks. In fact, I wrote about it here (for the record, she is not Canadian). The voice! The Lyrics! The Music! It soothed Sophia like no other and it touched me in a way that is rare and special. I still listen to it at least once a week and haven't even begun to be sick of it. A few weeks ago I found out that her new album comes out on my birthday! This alone is worth getting a year older for. I am super excited. Today I found out that NPR is streaming the full video until it goes on sale Tuesday – go listen, do your ears a favor. I'm super disappointed that I won't be able to make the concert near us (Ithaca) because of the new babe – but perhaps one of you will go to a show and share your experience? In the meantime if you would like to hear her Live you can do so here (the first is the best). ( You know about the music on NPR's website? Right? It's a great resource!!)
On another note – There are two books that I have read in the past few years and really enjoyed, Atonement by Ian McEwan & The Namesake by Jumpa Lahiri. When the movies came out I resisted watching them. As you all know books rarely translate well in to movies. There are some important exceptions to this rule: Lord of the Rings, Some of the Harry Potters, Age of Innocence, and I Capture the Castle. But most of the time I am vastly disappointed and scarred by the book to movie experience. So – I avoid them like a plague, especially when I REALLY liked the books. Well – I am here to tell you that both the movies for Atonement and The Namesake exceeded my expectations. Atonement less so than The Namesake…but I was pleasantly surprised by both. The Namesake in particular did a beautiful job of complimenting a very organic and sensual story with it's visuals and sound track. Go forth and watch with confidence.
On the baby front – I am at 36 weeks. Sophia was born at 37 weeks. We have bags packed but that's just about it. The house is a construction zone (literally – we're putting up a wall for a bedroom), Rob is still unemployed, and work is NUTS. (Thank you Mr. President for infusing money in to the NIH but really, could you not have considered your timing? And your request to spend the money immediately? Maybe we could just wait on few months on this line item? At least until I return from maternity leave?)
However, we are not sick any longer and everyone around us is working so hard to help get us ready. The name is still a mystery to be revealed when we see his face. It's going to be perfect.

i don't know how many of you out there have bikes, but seriously, check out that hefty lefty. lighter than traditional suspension, better tracking, and no lateral play - brilliant. plus it's a RZ One Twenty 2 with One Twenty 1 components for the same price as the One Twenty 2! frankenstien bike. which means better gearing + derailer, carbon disc brakes, and a tire upgrade.
so anyone play the new dishwasher game?

Anthony Davis. Playing for New Orleans, it is easy to fly under the radar, but Davis had a very decent rookie season. He averaged 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals. He still has to get stronger and develop his post game, but he will definitely be one the best power forwards in the NBA in seasons to come...

Some background performers are getting a raise following a tentative deal reached between SAG-AFTRA and the four major television broadcast networks on the National Code of Fair Practice for Network Television Broadcasting (Network Television Code).
SAG and AFTRA merged in 2012, and are now stronger than ever with over 160,000 members. Here are some interesting facts about SAG-AFTRA from before and after the merger.

An upside earnings surprise would do it except BBT's earnings seldom surprise. Maybe BBT should hire someone from NYB who knows how to produce 2% plus asset returns and 21% plus equity returns.
Snoit, you want 2% ROA & 21% ROE? Look at the quarterly report - BB&T's doing 1.8 and 25 on a cash basis...in a large branching system which is a far different management challenge than a unit bank. You'll get 40 in '04 or my name is Stock.Fan
Fan,Even if they do get to $40 a share what have they done?

To the Editor.—
The report of three cases of "withdrawal psychosis" following abrupt discontinuation of benzodiazepine therapy (237:36, 1977) could be misleading because of the use of this unfortunate term. What the authors observed was the same spectrum of psychic symptoms repeatedly reported from withdrawal reactions to alcohol or other sedativehypnotic drugs. "Acute brain syndrome due to drug withdrawal" is a much more precise phrase.Psychotic symptoms have not been prominent in the relatively few withdrawal reactions to benzodiazepines reported in the medical literature since our first experimental study (Psychopharmacologia 2:63-68, 1961). These reactions are modified in severity and attenuated over time because of the long persistence of the drug and its active metabolites in the body. Withdrawal reactions are dependent on high dosage of drug sustained rather constantly over time, with rapid rate of disappearance of the drug when it is discontinued. Drugs such as the benzodiazepines (or phenobarbital)

Reviews for Boy Scouts Of America
It is very sad to see them abandon their values. Not everyone is going to agree with your position in life about social issues, politics, etc. They sold their 103+ year standard to the highest bidder - in this case AT&T. Corporate funding is great, but it should never dictate your position, on any issue. Thanks but no thanks AT&T and the BSA - you have both lost my support as a client and volunteer / donor. Trail Life USA is where my service and money will be going. We honor the legacy that was the BSA but will now raise the standard.

Skip to comments.Calderon and Biden: U.S. guns fuel Mexican violence and crime
Posted on 03/06/2012 10:31:14 AM PST by GregNH
During his meeting with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden in Mexico City, President Felipe Calderon said the only way to win his country's war with the drug cartels is to jointly tackle organized crime including arms trafficking along the border as well as ceasing the rampant cross-border money laundering, according to a press statement.
The Mexican government has waged a war to eradicate organized crime gangs that has killed more than 47,700 victims over the past five years, according to figures released earlier this year by the Attorney General's Office.
Calderon claimed -- and Biden on behalf of the Obama administration agreed -- that the drug cartels have challenged the military and police with advanced weapons, most of which are trafficked illegally from the United States.
But Thomas McMahon, a former police commander and proponent of Second Amendment rights, tells the Examiner that these are no conclusive studies to support the claims of Calderon, Biden, Obama, or Attorney General Eric Holder.
"Trying to prove the canard of rampant gun-smuggling is what cost so many lives due to the Operation Fast and Furious debacle. That entire operation was politically-motivated and more about gun control in the U.S. than solving drug and gang problems in Mexico," said McMahon, now a private security executive.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
So, Felipe, Why don't you just take your army's guns and kill all of the drug dealers. That would stop the need for guns crossing the border.
Then I guess our government should not be giving them out down there. Someone ask our AG just why he did that please...
Hey Calderon and Biden, talk to Obama and Holder.
That's where your problem lies.
As an aside, stop sending illegals northward and stop sending drugs north, once that is done then we can talk.
So Calderon sends millions of Mexicans North to camp in the USA while collecting billions in drug money, and now demands that we start disarming Americans by restricting the supply of weapons.
Occupy, disarm, rule?
Guess his frikkin' sign ain't working...ping.
Calderon and Biden: Smuggled Mexican Tequila fuels USA drunk driver victim violence, drunken crime sprees, escalating divorce rate in Arizona.
So now we have Mexico telling US what WE need to do about THEIR problems?
Of course our pResident will bow to them and try DESPERATELY to have guns banned in the U.S.
For our safety of course!
Hey Felipe, if YOUR people can manage to get tons of coke over YOUR southern border, there's no point in b****ing about guns.
Oh, I see. So now we're going to fight the war on drugs by enforcing more rigid gun control in the U.S., not by enforcing the border. Is their no end to Democrats' pathetic little games to sneak fascism upon us right under our noses?
this pisses me off the left used him to do more gun laws but got caught in their gun running, the MSM covers for them, Holder keeps his job the GOP for the most past shut up YET AGAIN and now we have him harping on about this crap.
Yes American guns killed your people as well as ours but it was obama and Holder who gave the guns to drug lords so sue them
Their crying because Fast and Furious did not continue....
Should be:
U.S. Government fuels Mexican Violence and Crime
So the Mexican military and police are armed with something less "advanced" than what Americans can legally buy??
jointly tackle organized crime including arms trafficking
You can start with holder and zero...Perp walk 'em right the hell on out of here....
I strongly suspect that our politicians send guns and the Mexican drug lords send money in return.
People claim that if tar and feather Zippo or toss him out or arrest his az that there will be riots in the streets. I am afraid that they would be hard pressed to find the rioters for the dancers of jubilation.
Felipe, please tell us how much money the drug cartels are putting in your pocket?
No, MEXICANS fuel Mexican violence & crime.
Remember in one of Bidens' campaign stump speeches when he said "No one is ever going to take my Beretta."? When I heard it I thought "What's the big deal, I doubt if you payed for it, anyway. Probably a $25,000 Beretta SO5 Sporting Shotgun given to him by a lobbyist".
Sorry, but it seems our Congress refuses to hold Obama and Holder accountable for illegally selling weapons to Mexican drug gangs in their Operation Fast & Furious.
Maybe Mexico can go to the international courts and get something done, or declare war on the US, or simple shut up and take it as we have over 10% of their population here as illegal invaders already.
Cool. So Mexico is going to help us build DMZ South?
I have a solution to the gun problem in Mexico. Impeach Obama and Biden. Replace them with a Republican who is pro-gun and fence in the border. Stop your mules from crossing from Mexico otherwise you're a willing player in "furnish the cartels".
Maybe if Mexico wasn't so willing to let their people cross illegally they wouldn't be getting guns shipped to their drug bosses by the Obama administration.
Easy fix, Srs. Calderon Y Biden. Build the WALL at the border, stop sales to Mexico, and watch them start buying AK's from the NORKS or the Chicoms.
"U.S. guns fuel Mexican violence and crime"
Then do something about the 'Mexican' violence and crime. It's not like guns haven't been around for centuries, and the US is the only source.

McD's, KFC, BK Pondering Solar Thermal HVAC Systems
Restaurant chains such as McDonald's, KFC and Burger King may be considering new solar thermal powered dehumidifier HVAC systems.
DCA Systems Inc. says it was approached by the above companies and others including hotel chains, extended care facilities and government agencies for the system, according to a press release. The company says smaller versions of the Solar Alternate Energy system can also be designed for installations in homes, trains, planes and automobiles.
DCA says the HVAC system can easily replace any standard roof-top unit without making any changes to the installed ducting system. The company estimates that businesses can reduce their energy usage by 15 to 30 percent with the retrofit. The new system also eliminates the need for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or other gaseous chemicals.
The initial design for the DCA-Cornerstone solar thermal powered dehumidifier HVAC system was developed for a major hotel chain that was looking to reduce its energy power cost by 30 percent by using solar energy.
The system, consisting of roof-top solar collectors integrated with DCA's HVAC system using evacuated tubes, heat pumps and other proprietary solar equipment, were installed at KFC, McDonald's and Sonny's Bar BQ fast-food restaurants in Florida and Mississippi in the early 1990's as an experimental test, says DCA.
After installation of the DCA system, the restaurants reduced their cooling load by 60 percent in the kitchen and dining areas. DCA says temperatures dropped from 98 degrees to an average of 75 degrees, reducing the humidity levels from 70 percent to 50 percent and 55 percent in most cases. In addition, many of these restaurants no longer required cooling in the kitchen due to the reduction of humidity in the air.
The experiment was a joint effort sponsored by TECO Energy, The City of Tampa, Department of Energy and the University of South Florida who set up a monitoring station to measure the output at 38 separate data points.
DCA Systems also has been selected to participate in a government sponsored Solar Power Alternative Energy Innovation competition.

Grand National: Here comes Johnny
Published 05/04/2008
Johnny Murtagh, who began the Irish Flat season with a treble last Sunday, could be on the mark again when he rides at Leopardstown tomorrow.
Murtagh was in top class form at the Curragh riding for Aidan O'Brien and he rides the highly regarded Washington Irving in the Foxrock Race over a mile-and-a-quarter.
Washington Irving has already been installed third favourite for the Derby with Ladbrokes and tomorrow sees his eagerly-awaited seasonal debut.
The Aidan O'Brien trained Montjeu half-brother to Dual Oaks heroine Alexandrova, has only run once, finishing fourth on his debut at the Curragh last October when sent off the 2-1 favourite. Nevertheless a number of bookmakers have named him as their dark horse for 2008. The ground when Washington Irving ran last year was soft and conditions are expected to be heavy tomorrow.
O'Brien said: "We will see what he is made of after tomorrow but he should run a big race."
Kevin Prendergast who was on the mark at the Curragh last Sunday, relishes this game and is very rarely astray with his runners.
Moiquen should win the Leopardstown 2,000 Guineas trial even though he meets three O'Brien-trained colts.
Famous Name trained by Dermot Weld will go close and he was a debut winner over six furlongs at Naas last year.
Prendergast said of Moiqen: "He missed the break the first time out and then went to Navan and won well on quick ground but I don't think this testing surface will inconvenience him on Sunday. He's in good form and we're hoping he'll run well."
As far as the Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas trial is concerned, Jim Bolger has the dual Group One winning filly Saoirse Abu and this filly should win despite the fact that Halfway To Heaven and Psalm represent O'Brien.
In addition, Dash Back is expected to run well for Prendergast and jockey Declan McDonagh.
Dash Back ran a good race first time out and a stepped up in trip. "We'll see whether to run her over middle distance or to go back sprinting," said Prendergast.
"She is running in the Guineas trial because the opposition is decent."
Murtagh who rides the odd winner for Ger Lyons, is expected to score on Rockazar in the Leopardstown evening meetings handicap.
Over at Limerick, Willie Mullins may have the winning of the Hugh McMahon Memorial Novice Chase which is a Grade Two race.
Mullins runs Fred Benefit and Candy Girl who come up against Oscar Honey from the Jessica Harrington stable and this should make an intriguing race.
The fact that leading jockey Davey Russell is riding Callherwhatulike for Robert Tyner adds some spice to the race but it should be Mullins's day and I fancy Candy Girl.

Size: 1.4M
Price (single license): $29 (US)
Price (site license): $199 (US)
System Requirements: Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP
The software is designed as a simple accessory for teaching math.
The program can represent the following objects in 3D space:
- regular prism (3 to 10 sides)
- general three-sided prism
- special four-sided prism (adjustable inclination of sides)
- regular pyramid (3 to 10 sides)
For each geometrical object, certain parameters can be interactively adjusted, such as: height and length of sides, inclination of sides, number of sides, etc. Each object can be gradually and smoothly opened or closed from its basic net to a geometrical object. Each adjustment of parameters is interactive and seen immediately - animated. Each object can be freely rotated in 3D space at 'all times of the process'. Additionally, each object can be zoomed-in, or zoomed-out, at any scale. 3D animation executes at high speed - in real time, even on slower machines.

micoach is all you need to get the results you want.
You will receive a confirmation to
(1 Product)
I bought these to wear out and they are exactly what I was hoping for. They look super trendy and feel like a million bucks. So impressed Adidas. Who knows, maybe I'll try a run in them when my Pure Cadence wear out. ... read more
I have been training/running half-marathons and marathons in Adidas Energy Boost shoes because I like the way the feel, but the soles would wear out quickly. These shoes I love because they are very comfortable and durable lasting a lot longer period of time and miles. Only con is the plastic side piece can tightness in the mid-foot area with runs over about 5 miles. ... read more
I have skinny skinny feet and these things are super snug. The laces are pointless because there's a band that goes over the top of your foot that tightens the shoe. Also, get a half size up, I has to send mine back and get a bigger size. It wasnt even close to normal size for me. ... read more
The shoe without a doubt looks very nice and the boost technology feels great. However this shoe is not the best for running. The toe box is small and the shoe is narrow. Hopefully with more wear they will break in. ... read more
I came to purchase these after I noticed how often I was wearing my ultraboosts for casual occasions. I was looking for something with the same feel but loved that these looked more casual and less sporty. In this shoe, I really like the EVA and boost mix. I love the foamy EVA traction and all-over coloration. I like that the ZG colors are chill and the silhouette is not too sporty. I don't wear these to run. I wear them with jeans and slim fitting chinos. I recommend buying a half size larger. I wear a 10 1/2 in the ultraboost and an 11 1/2 in these. My size is normally 11. I don't think the design is perfect (the rubber cage wrap-around thing looks a little strange squashed under the laces) but I like the attempt to make a wearable running shoe that looks good casual/lifestyle. I have the navy pair I'll probably get the grey one as well. The price of these is great. I hope they improve on this shoe and make the elements a little more harmonious. I hope Adidas keeps an incarnation of this around for a while because I'll keep buying them. I am big fan of retro runners and am always trying to pull them off at work. These have the subtle look of those retro runners but with a more modern and durable sole. Nice shoe. I don't normally write reviews, but wanted to in order to inform people to purchase a half size larger. The primeknit version runs truer to size. Why? I don't know. ... read more
I had to return these shoes because they were not what I was expecting from adidas boost shoes. I purchased the pure boost ZG because I thought that they would stay significantly more clean than my current pure boost. My biggest–and only–complaint is the toe area. There is a piece of hard material on the inside that guards the front end of the shoe, which caused pain immediately after I put on the pair. The piece (of plastic I assume) makes any sliding of my feet in the shoe painful as the toenails continually bump into the poorly placed piece. Maybe this problem only applies to me, but just in case, I thought I would write a review. I was very satisfied with the look of the shoe; I just do not understand the construction of the shoe. ... read more
Boost is the best for my feet with plantar fascitis in my left foot I like to be able to do stuff still. Boost allows me to. These shoes are good looking style would order a 1/2 size up mine are QUITE snug as I ordered my normal size. ... read more
I purchased the pure boost prime knit zg before buying the non prime knit and for some reason the soul comfort level were way different. The prime knit are way cushy and the comfort level can't be beat. The non prime knit are still comfortable just not near the level of the prime knit. And it's the souls not the prime knit that is the difference. I would so recommend the prime knit but not the non prime knit. ... read more

Does Engineering Education Breed Terrorists?
Why do so many terrorists have an engineering background? Is there something about the way engineering students are taught to think? Or are people who prefer clearly solvable problems drawn to engineering? Scholars in a variety of disciplines are trying to understand what makes people turn to terrorism. An anthropologist argues that universities and governments make it difficult to study the socio-cultural backgrounds of terrorists because of human subjects research policies. Nevertheless, since 9/11 a growing number of social scientists are addressing the issue. These are just a few examples.
The Likely Persistence of a White Majority
In The American Prospect, Sociologist Richard Alba discusses two reasons why the Census-projected relative demographic decline of White Americans may prove illusory.
The Trials of Alice Goffman
''Alice used a writing style that today you can't really use in the social sciences.'' He sighed and began to trail off. ''In the past,'' he said with some astonishment, ''they really did write that way.'' The book smacked, some sociologists argued, of a kind of swaggering adventurism that the discipline had long gotten over. Goffman became a proxy for old and unsettled arguments about ethnography that extended far beyond her own particular case. What is the continuing role of the qualitative in an era devoted to data?

Politics now more divisive than Race
"When defined in terms of social identity and affect toward copartisans and opposing partisans, the polarization of the American electorate has dramatically increased...Our evidence demonstrates that hostile feelings for the opposing party are ingrained or automatic in voters' minds, and that affective polarization based on party is just as strong as polarization based on race. We further show that party cues exert powerful effects on nonpolitical judgments and behaviors. Partisans discriminate against opposing partisans, doing so to a degree that exceeds discrimination based on race. " (PDF). [more inside]
The Normalization of Deviance
In 2014 a Gulfstream plane crashed and burst into flames in Bedford, Massachusetts, killing seven people (NTSB animation). Aviation writer Ron Rapp argues that the cause was not defective equipment or simple complacency, but the normalization of deviance, whereby "people within [an] organization become so much accustomed to a deviant behavior that they don't consider it as deviant, despite the fact that they far exceed their own rules for the elementary safety." This was also considered to be a factor in the crashes of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia. The creator of the concept and author of The Challenger Launch Decision, sociologist Diane Vaughan, is interviewed here. (transcript)

The lab that knows where your time really goes
The collection is helping to solve a slew of scientific and societal puzzles — not least, a paradox about modern life. There is a widespread perception in Western countries that life today is much busier than it once was, thanks to the unending demands of work, family, chores, smartphones and e-mails. But the diaries tell a different story: "We do not get indicators at all that people are more frantic," says John Robinson, a sociologist who works with time-use diaries at the University of Maryland, College Park. In fact, when paid and unpaid work are totted up, the average number of hours worked every week has not changed much since the 1980s in most countries of the developed world.

love in the regime of choice
By analysing the language of popular magazines, TV shows and self-help books and by conducting interviews with men and women in different countries, scholars including Eva Illouz, Laura Kipnis and Frank Furedi have demonstrated clearly that our ideas about love are dominated by powerful political, economic and social forces. Together, these forces lead to the establishment of what we can call romantic regimes: systems of emotional conduct that affect how we speak about how we feel, determine 'normal' behaviours, and establish who is eligible for love – and who is not.
Toward a Sociology of Living Death
In some areas (e.g., Pittsburgh, Raccoon City), zombification is now more common than attending college or serving in the military and must be understood as a modal life course event. Even if one is "objectively" a mindless animated corpse, one cannot really be said to be fulfilling one's cultural role as a zombie unless one shuffles across the landscape in search of brains.

Nuance is revered in higher education. That's especially true in sociology, where scholars spend their lives digging into the fine grain of human social behavior, often finding even finer grain underneath.

An aberration that came with the advent of agriculture
A study has shown that in contemporary hunter-gatherer tribes, men and women tend to have equal influence on where their group lives and who they live with. The findings challenge the idea that sexual equality is a recent invention, suggesting that it has been the norm for humans for most of our evolutionary history. Mark Dyble, an anthropologist who led the study at University College London, said: "There is still this wider perception that hunter-gatherers are more macho or male-dominated. We'd argue it was only with the emergence of agriculture, when people could start to accumulate resources, that inequality emerged."

Role-playing games and political economy in Brazil
A short history of gaming in Brazil: "To understand the history of gaming in Brazil dear reader, you must know a little bit about our political and economic history ... In 1991, a small publisher by the name of GSA published a roleplaying game called Tagmar [translation], often lauded as the first Brazilian RPG. ... They also released Desafio dos Bandeirantes, a game set in 17th century colonial Brazil using regional folklore instead of European myths, and a sci-fi game, Millenia [translation] ... In February 1994, the Brazilian authorities set in motion a major economic plan that invigorated the Brazilian economy for the first time since 1973. By March, the currency stabilized enough to assure the population (and companies) that their money would be worth the same by the end of the week ... The happy result for gamers was that companies started buying game licenses right and left." Via.

Who Speaks for the Subaltern?
When Subalternist theorists put up this gigantic wall separating East from West, and when they insist that Western agents are not driven by the same kinds of concerns as Eastern agents, what they're doing is endorsing the kind of essentialism that colonial authorities used to justify their depredations in the nineteenth century.

Research methods: the heart and soul of knowledge
Hollaback and Why Everyone Needs Better Research Methods (And Why All Data Needs Theory), by Zeynep Tufekci:
I've taught "introduction to research methods" to undergraduate students for many years, and they would sometimes ask me why they should care about all this "method stuff", besides having a required class for a sociology major out of the way. I would always tell them, without understanding research methods, you cannot understand how to judge what you see.[more inside]
The Hollaback video shows us exactly why.
"today we have an almost unprecedented situation...We have a lot of people...boasting of being able to tolerate everyone from every outgroup they can imagine...And we have those same people absolutely ripping into their in-groups---straight, white, male, hetero, cis, American...This is really surprising. It's a total reversal of everything we know about human psychology up to this point...people who conspicuous love their outgroups, the outer the better, and gain status by talking about how terrible their own groups are. What is going on here?" (Slate Star Codex) [more inside]

Retail Therapy: What Mannequins Say About Us
Like the larger fashion industry, mannequin design echoes seasonal styles that come and go, both in regard to technological improvements and the way we view our bodies.

Accordingly, the stiff, unnatural bodies of early mannequins were well-matched for the Victorian Era's restrictive ideas about women's rights and fashions, which dictated they wear many layers of heavy fabric over tight-fitting corsets.[more inside]

Waterford - For neighbors of the former Seaside Regional Center, who have for 15 years followed its transition from a state-owned facility to private hands, two points seemed definite: Any new development would be restricted to people over 55, and an effort would be made to preserve the Beaux Arts buildings on the site.
But over that time the real estate market for age-restricted housing has decreased, and condition of the eight Cass Gilbert-designed buildings has deteriorated.
Farmington-based developer Mark Steiner, who has an $8 million agreement with the state to buy the former sanitarium and home for the mentally disabled, wants a zoning change to eliminate the age requirement and add new language that would permit the demolition of one or more historic structures on the 32-acre campus.
Residents will have chance to comment at a public hearing of the Planning and Zoning Commission 7 p.m. Monday at Town Hall.
"We've had quite the roller-coaster ride," said Kim Bruno, of Shore Road.
In April, the legislature's Government Administration and Elections Committee approved the sale of the property to Steiner, who first inquired about the property in 1997.
The state agreed to sell the property to Steiner in 2006, but in 2007 a legislative panel voted to keep the property.
An investigation then by The Day uncovered emails from former Gov. M. Jodi Rell's chief of staff Lisa Moody suggesting that the property be preserved as a "legacy item" for the governor.
In May 2010, the Department of Public Works announced it would sell Seaside to Steiner.
In May 2011, Steiner received approval for the purchase from the attorney general.
Foreclosure proceedings
In the meantime Steiner has been part of two court cases involving his finances.
In December 2010, Farmington Bank initiated foreclosure proceedings in Hartford Superior Court against Steiner and his wife, Linda Steiner, on their home in Avon. The matter is still in court.
In May, Steiner prevailed in a lawsuit claiming that he owed back interest on a loan dating to 1982. The case is now under appeal.
Reached Thursday, Steiner declined to comment on any matter not related to the zone change application.
For now, the proposed zone changes don't sit well with people who live near Seaside, which has sat virtually dormant since the state closed the center in 1996.
According to Debby Green, who lives on Woodsea Place, dispensing with the 55-plus requirement could strain the public schools and alter the density of the neighborhood.
"That has always been part (of the regulations)," Green said. The current zoning regulations have been in effect since the late 1990s, according to town director of planning Tom Wagner.
Proponents of age-restricted housing say it is a method to expand the real estate tax base without overburdening the public schools with more students.
In an interview Tuesday, Steiner said the market for age restricted housing has shifted since the requirement was put in during the late 1990s, and there have been "a number of failures."
"Most people who buy age-restricted are in their 70s," Steiner said. "It's not a reliable market."
Steiner said the price of the condos would start at about $500,000. "If you are going to spend $500,000 and you have kids, you are more likely to buy a house with a yard," Steiner said.
Steiner plans to market the development to people who live in metropolitan New York for second homes and to empty-nesters. His vision includes concierge service and dining areas for events.
Although the property is zoned for 130 units, Steiner said no final decision has been made on how many will be built.
Steiner is also seeking authority to demolish some of the buildings on the Seaside campus if they cannot be preserved.
"We're not necessarily going to demolish them, but we are seeking a provision in case it is not feasible to keep them," Steiner said. Steiner said he would hire an engineer qualified to evaluate historic structures.
According to Steiner the structures, which are on the National Register of Historic Places, have fallen into disrepair since negotiations with the state failed.
A spokesman for the National Trust for Historic Preservation said that as long as there is not any federal money involved in the project, any preservation or reuse of the building is at the discretion of the owner.
Town historian and Town Clerk Robert Nye said citizens can apply for 30-day and 60-day delays or file for an injunction to halt any demolition.
Steiner said any replacement structures would replicate the buildings and feature Beaux Arts flourishes.
As a point of comparison, Steiner mentioned the new Ocean House Hotel in Watch Hill, R.I., which incorporated designs from the old hotel into the modern structure.
Neighbors around the Seaside property said they expect a large turnout at the hearing Monday, and some are requesting that both the town and Steiner work more closely with them.
Kathy Jacques said the neighbors were more involved "in the beginning" but are now feeling left out of any decisions.
"It hasn't been inclusive," Jacques said.
Steiner said Tuesday he plans to hold small workshops with neighbors about his plans for the site.

Georgia TE Lynch not impressed with APU protest
ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia tight end Arthur Lynch is all for improving the rights of college athletes.
He doesn't think writing the letters "APU" on a wristband will lead to significant change.
Several Georgia linemen took part in a low-key protest last weekend known as All Players United, joining several athletes from Georgia Tech and Northwestern in a gesture that most players and coaches didn't even know happened until after their games.
Lynch said Tuesday that change "is not going to come from disorganized hashtags on your wrist. That's not how it's done."

Norman "Norm" Howard Bangerter (January 4, 1933 – April 14, 2015) was the 13th Governor of Utah from 1985 to 1993. He was the first Republican elected to the position since 1965.
Bangerter was born in Granger, Utah (now West Valley City) to William Henry Bangerter and Isabelle Bawden. His older brother, W. Grant Bangerter, served as a General Authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Bangerter married his wife, the former Colleen Monson, in 1953. The two had six children and one foster son.
Prior to his election, Bangerter founded a successful construction firm which specialized in building homes. He served in the Utah House of Representatives from 1975 to 1985 and as Speaker of that body from 1981 until 1985.
During his tenure as governor, Bangerter dealt with the flooding of the Great Salt Lake and its tributaries by approving the construction of large, US$60 million pumps to channel excess water from the Great Salt Lake onto the Bonneville Salt Flats. This was initially successful, yet caused some controversy when the lake's water level fell in later years, and some regarded the idle pumps as wasteful.
Bangerter's "foremost interest was improving the state's educational system".[1]
After his retirement as governor, Bangerter returned to his construction firm and served for three years as president of the South Africa Johannesburg Mission of the LDS Church from 1996 to 1999.
The Bangerter Highway (SR-154), which opened in 1998, was named after the former governor, who had long supported such a road.
In 2008, Bangerter was appointed to the Governing Board for the national children's charity Operation Kids.
On April 14, 2015, Bangerter suffered a stroke and later died at the age of 82.[2]
