3 Perfect Pie Crusts
If you don't need to make the full 6 pie crust recipe, this version makes a top crust, bottom crust, and a spare crust to freeze for later.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, could be egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, corn free, top 8 allergen free, vegetarian, and potentially vegan recipe.
- 1/4 cup shortening (I use Spectrum)
- 1 cup margarine, or two sticks (I use Fleishmann's unsalted, but you could also use an additional 1 cup shortening)
- 3 cups gf flour mix – 2 cups flour, 1 cup starch
- 1 TBS xanthan gum (if not GF, just use 3 cups flour and omit this)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional, omit if corn-free)
- 1 TBS sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg white (or egg replacer of your choice)
- 1 TBS cider vinegar
- ice cold water
Combine flours, xanthan gum, baking powder (if using), sugar, & salt in a large bowl. Add shortening & margarine and cut in using a pastry blender or 2 knives until it begins to resemble coarse meal.
In a measuring cup with a spout, beat the egg, vinegar, and enough water to equal 1/2 cup. Gradually add the liquid to the flour, tossing with a fork, until the pastry gathers into a mass.
If the dough needs more water, add 1/4 cup iced water at a time, until sticks together.
Divide the pastry into 3 portions and form each into a patty-like disk. Each patty makes 1 crust. Put each in a small ziploc and freeze, or, if you are using now, chill for at least an hour. If you freeze, the dough must be completely thawed before rolling.
For easier handling, roll out between two sheets of plastic wrap. Peel off top piece of plastic wrap, position dough in greased pie pan, then remove bottom piece of plastic wrap.
This makes 3 single pie crusts, perfect for making a double-crusted pie and setting one crust aside in the freezer for a rainy pie day.
Perfect Mango Poundcake
Originally inspired by a mango-passionfruit pound cake, this Mango Poundcake is divine. It is amazingly delicious and moist, and has just the right level of sweetness. By adding more mango puree, the mango flavor really permeates the cake, adding another level of deliciousness.
The only complaint we have heard is that it is a smidge high in calories, so you may want to cut and eat small slices, put a few slices in the freezer for later, and give a couple pieces away to your friends!
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, and vegetarian recipe.
Additional allergy notes: the cake could easily be made corn-free, but the icing would require finding corn-free powdered sugar; I am working on a mango bar recipe which would be egg-free, as recipes with 3 or more eggs don't work well egg-free.
- 12 tablespoons dairy-free margarine, softened
- 1 TBS lemon juice & 1 Cup coconut milk
- 3 cups sugar
- 5 eggs
- 2 cups gluten-free flour (sorghum, millet, or rice work well)
- 1 cup starch (tapioca, arrowroot, potato, or corn); (or use 3 cups premixed gluten-free flour)
- 1 TBS xanthan gum or guar gum (if not gluten-free, replace the flour, starch, and xanthan gum with 3 cups all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mango puree (if you have frozen mango chunks, thaw them and then blender-ize them into a pulp)
For the Syrup:
- 1/2 cup orange mango juice
- 1 cup sugar
For the Glaze:
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
- 1/4 cup orange mango juice
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 10-cup bundt pan, preferably a silicone bundt pan. If not using silicone, be careful to grease the pan well and dust it with flour.
Cream the butter in a stand mixer, and then add the soured coconut milk. Gradually add the sugar and beat well (about 3 minutes).
Mix in the eggs, 1 by 1. Continue to mix until they are well-combined.
Whisk flour, starch, salt, and xanthan gum/guar gum. Slowly add the flour into the batter, alternate adding flour with adding the mango purée.
Pour batter into the bundt pan and bake for 50 minutes. Check after 50 minutes, the cake should feel springy when you touch it, and a tooth pick inserted into the middle should come out with only a few crumbs of batter. Put the cake back in the oven if necessary and check again in 10 minutes.
When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Wait for the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
While the cake is cooling, make the syrup. Mix orange-mango juice and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 1 minute, then take the pan off the heat.
Poke holes in the bottom of the cake with a wooden skewer, while it's still in the pan. Brush half of the syrup onto the bottom of cake with a pastry brush and let it soak in.
After the cake has completely cooled, flip it out of the pan onto a serving plate. Use a skewer to poke more holes in the top of the cake, and then brush the rest of the syrup onto the top and sides.
Whisk or sift the confectioners sugar into a bowl. Whisk in the orange-mango juice. Drizzle the icing/glaze over the top and sides of the cake.
Store cake well wrapped, or in an airtight container. Cake can be kept at room temperature, but will stay fresh longer in the refrigerator.
A GFCF Chocolate Pizza!
I've wanted to make one of these recipes for ages, and I finally decided to try it. This was a huge, huge hit! It is basically a sugar-cookie-type crust, with various chocolate toppings. You could make it with jam and fruit on top, but we were in a chocolate mood!
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, top 8 allergen free, and vegan/vegetarian recipe.
- For the Crust:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) dairy-free margarine or Spectrum shortening, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (if you can find corn-free powdered sugar, this recipe could be made with no corn)
- 1 cup rice flour
- For the Sauce:
- 1 batch chocolate pudding, made using the pie filling variation.
- For the Toppings:
- allergy-safe chocolate chips (Enjoy Life chocolate chips are one choice)
- allergy-safe chocolate non-pariels
- extra confectioner's sugar as "cheese"
- other allergy-safe chocolates as desired (Choclate Emporium has many great gluten-free and dairy-free chocolates!)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a pizza pan or cookie sheet with a Silpat Baking Mat, Reynolds non-stick foil, or other nonstick choice.
Mix together the margarine/shortening, powdered sugar, and rice flour. Continue mixing until it is well combined. The mixture will be crumbly, but will hold together when patted together.
Press into a pan, ideally into a circular shape on a pizza pan, but you can also make a circular shape on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, until it begins to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
When the "crust" is cool, spread on pudding, then add your choice of toppings.
Cut with a pizza cutter and enjoy!
A Sweet Bread for your Sweeties
As a child, I loved eating Portuguese Sweet Bread when we were on vacation on Cape Cod. The mild sweetness of the bread and the chewy bread was just wonderful. I've tried to recreate some of that experience with this bread. It has just the right level of sweetness, and says lovely and moist. For this sweet bread, I prefer to serve smaller slices, so I bake it in a silicone bundt pan, which works beautifully. I strongly recommend that strategy!
This recipe is gfcf, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, legume free, nut free, vegetarian, and can be corn-free. It is not egg free, sadly. I've had limited success using egg substitutes with this recipe – I would only try it with rolls, as the egg protein holds together the dough in a bread shape.
DO NOT skip the step of lining the pan with parchment paper if you are not using a silicone pan! GF bread dough is very sticky, and you'll end up with bread stuck to the bottom of the loaf pan. It's worth the extra money to get the silicone or parchment paper! You can get away with not lining cupcake tins (for rolls) or hamburger pans, though.
- 1 3/4 cup gf flour (amaranth, sorghum, and millet all work well here)
- 1 cup arrowroot, tapioca, or corn starch, or a mix (potato starch tends to make it fall)'
- If you use a gf baking mix, you would just use 2 3/4 cups of the baking mix
- 2 1/2 tsp xanthan gum or guar gum
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110 degrees)
- 1 1/4 t salt
- 2 t apple cider vinegar
- 2 T olive oil
- 3 eggs
Whip together the 3 eggs in your stand mixer.
While they are whipping, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, and whisk together.
Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the eggs, mix together. Slowly add the dry ingredients, beating together on low. "Knead" for 4 minutes. The dough will be very wet, almost like cake batter.
Line a 9×5 (or so) bread pan with parchment paper, or use an oiled silicone pan. Use a spatula to fill the bread pan/bundt pan/rolls with the dough/batter.
Let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from pan and cool (it cuts much better cooled if you can wait that long).
If you are going to save the bread, slice it once it is cooled, then freeze it sliced. Toast it straight from the freezer to warm it up. Microwaving for 30 seconds a slice works as well, but I prefer the texture when it's toasted.
Perfectly Chocolate-y Cupcakes
Do you need some gluten-free and dairy-free cupcakes? Do you want them to be perfectly puffed on top, with a wonderful shape that is easy to decorate? Are you serving fussy people, or people who doubt that allergy-safe food can be tasty? This is the recipe for you! These cupcakes are just right!
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, and corn free recipe. There is also an egg-free version of this recipe.
- 1 cup gf flour (sorghum and/or bean work well here)
- 2/3 cup starch (arrowroot, tapioca, corn, or potato)
- 1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum or guar gum
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk substitute to make 1 cup
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin tins (makes 15-18 cupcakes)
Mix together dry ingredients in stand mixer to get them well blended. Add liquid ingredients and mix for about 3 min, until well combined.
Pour into cupcake liners and bake for 20-30 min (they will be moist, but a toothpick inserted into the cupcake should come out clean). Cool for a few minutes in pan, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frost with a chocolate frosting. Or, you can mix up a batch of vanilla frosting, and then divide it into snack-size zip-top bags. Color each baggie of frosting individually. Snip off one little corner of the bag, and then you and your kids can make some beautiful creations!
Baby's First Birthday Carrot Cupcakes
This is free of the top 8 allergens, so it is unlikely to be too much for a baby's first birthday. If your child hasn't yet had many spices, you can leave out the nutmeg & cinnamon, but it tastes great like this.
This recipe really works best as cupcakes, and since little kids like to do things themselves, mini-cupcakes or full-size cupcakes are a great size for little hands!
If you want to also serve a cake, the Pineapple Carrot Cake recipe is the "grown-up" version of this, with eggs and other treats.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, corn free, top 8 allergen free, and vegan/vegetarian recipe.
- 1 1/4 cup gluten–free flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1 tsp xanthan gum or guar gum
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (if mixture looks too thick, add up to 1/4 cup more applesauce)
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup milk substitute with 1 tsp cider vinegar to sour
- 3/4 cup crushed pineapple (one of the small cans), drained (you can substitute more applesauce in place of the pineapple if you haven't introduced pineapple)
- 2 cups shredded carrots (I suggest a food processor for this)
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or prepare cupcake (or mini cupcake) pan with paper liners. This makes about 18 full size cupcakes or 12 full size and 12 mini-cupcakes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, spices, and other dry ingredients.
Use an electric mixer in another bowl to beat applesauce, brown sugar, milk substitute, and pineapple until well blended. Slowly add dry ingredients. Stir in carrots.
Spoon into cupcake liners, fill about 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-30 min (15-20 for mini cupcakes) until cake tester comes out clean. Let sit in pan for 5-10 min, then let cool on a rack.
Serve as is or frost a few with Faux Cream Cheese frosting for adults or for that smashed-in face birthday cake shot!
Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie
My mother has always made a Kahlua chocolate chip pecan pie, and I loved it. This year I wanted to make it without the Kahlua, and I ended up with a wonderfully rich, but not overly rich, dessert that I thought was perfect. It's also wonderful leftover, if you can hide a few slivers!
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, fish free, and shellfish free recipe. You could make this corn-free by using golden syrup in place of the corn syrup, but the eggs and nuts are integral to the dish.
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour or starch
- 6 TB dairy-free margarine, melted
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I love the little Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips!)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 12 intact pecan halves, as garnish
- 1 pie crust shell – 1/6th of my Perfect GF Pie Crust recipe, or you could use a The Gluten-Free Pantry pie crust mix.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9″ deep dish pie tin, and arrange pie crust. Remember to roll out the pie crust between 2 pieces of plastic wrap – it works beautifully!
Whisk eggs until fluffy in a large bowl, then begin adding the other ingredients. Beat in sugar, flour, margarine, salt, vanilla, and corn syrup. Mix well, then stir in the chopped pecans.
Sprinkle 1 cup of chocolate chips on the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the pecan pie filling into the pie crust.
Decorate the top of the pie with the intact pecans.
Bake for 45-60 minutes until the pie is golden brown and set (not all jiggly). Let cool on a cooling rack. Serve small pieces so people can have seconds and not feel as guilty!
Peach Pie Cake Cobbler
This is a mix of a pie, a cake, and a cobbler. It's an incredibly easy way to get the flavor of a peach pie without a lot of effort! My grandmother makes this a lot, and everyone loves it. I tweaked it a bit, and changed it for our allergies, but it's still incredibly easy – how often can you say an allergy-friendly dessert is easy?
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, and vegan/vegetarian recipe.
- 1 stick dairy-free margarine (such as Fleishmann's unsalted)
- 1/2 cup milk substitute (soy milk, rice milk, etc)
- 1 cup gf flour or flour mix
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 large can or 1 quart (4 cups) canned sliced peaches with juice or syrup
Preheat oven to 350 or 375 – this recipe is very flexible with temperature, so bake it at the temperature your dinner requires.
Melt margarine in an 8×8 or 8×11 or similar casserole. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and milk. Pour that mixture into the middle of melted margarine, do not stir.
Pour peaches and juice into the center of all. Do not stir. Bake uncovered for 45 min, and let cool for a bit. It will be a bit jelly-ish, not firm like a cake.
This serves 6, allegedly, but don't count on leftovers if there arefewer than six people at home!

Add the milk substitute and powdered sugar. Mix until not lumpy, then drizzle over donuts. yum!

Nikon India Private Limited Established to Enhance Sales and Service in Fast-growing Indian Market
September 12, 2007
Nikon Corporation (Michio Kariya, President) is pleased to announce the establishment of Nikon India Private Limited, a wholly owned sales and service subsidiary. This new company was launched to fortify sales of imaging products, beginning with digital cameras, and to enhance after-sales service, as well as technical support and after-sales service of industrial instruments, beginning with CNC Video Measuring System, in India. Operations commenced in August, 2007.
In response to India's recent remarkable economic growth and long-term market potential, companies from throughout the world are working to establish a presence in this positive market. As the household appliance and cellular telephone markets have already shown rapid expansion, we expect the digital camera market to show similar expansion within the next few years. Previously, our local affiliate, Nikon Singapore Pte Ltd, had performed marketing and sales operations for India. However, with the rapid expansion of the Indian market, Nikon determined that a more localized organizational structure for sales and service was necessary to expand operations in this growing market. Therefore, we established this new wholly owned subsidiary.
Our primary goals in establishing this local affiliate are to strengthen and expand our presence in the Indian market and to improve customer service with a system integrating all aspects of our business in India, from marketing to sales, customer support, and after-sales service. In addition, we believe that strategic marketing and effective advertising will lead to increased sales and greater permeation of the Nikon brand, further increasing Nikon's presence in India.
Furthermore, all marketing and order acceptance activities related to our imaging operations for the Middle East previously carried out by Nikon Singapore Pte Ltd was transferred to this new subsidiary. This will allow us to greatly fortify our business structure in the Middle East.
Company Overview
|Nikon India Private Limited
|Plot No. 17 Sector 32, Institutional Area, Gurgaon 122002 Haryana India

For those who can't make it to church on Sundays, TV preachers offer a vital service. For those who prefer the secular side, the morning news talk shows give a valuable service, too. On a recent Fox News Sunday, former news anchor Brit Hume introduced a new element to the weekend talk-show paradigm - Jesus. Out of the blue, the Fox senior political analyst advised Tiger Woods to give up one religion and embrace another if he wanted to recover his pre-sex scandal popularity.
"He's said to be a Buddhist," Mr. Hume said. "I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, 'Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.'•"
Plenty of Washington sex scandals involve Christians - and no Buddhists. The Christians may not have committed adultery with as many paramours as Tiger Woods, but Jesus condemned looking at even one woman with a lustful heart.
Mr. Hume should stick to political commentary and leave the hypocrisy to the professionals.

Obama State of The Union Summary
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is asking Congress to focus on attracting jobs to the U.S., training American workers and boosting investments in infrastructure, manufacturing and clean energy. In his State of the Union last night, Obama also said he wants to raise the minimum wage to $9 by the end of 2015. Today, he's heading out on a three-day road trip to pitch his proposals. His first stop will be Asheville, N.C., where he'll visit a manufacturing facility.

What do you know about New York City's retro gaming havens?
There are two main joints around here: Video Games New York on 6th Street, which has been open since 2004, and 8-Bit & Up on St. Marks Place, which opened a little over two years ago. Giulio Graziani, President of Video Games New York, and Chris Scott, Co-owner of 8-Bit & Up, had much to say about the business, how games have changed and what's ahead for the industry. The death of consoles, the rise of franchises and the possible end of used games were just a few of the things discussed.
Because if anyone in the city's got a good idea of where video games are going, it's the fellas who make a living from putting a price tag on their past.
"The reason today you are like this is because of your past," Giulio explained. "If your past didn't exist, you would be something else. So I came to say, 'Okay, let's apply this concept to video games, to New York, to the United States.'" He led me around some massive shelves overstocked with games older than anyone writing for Local, and into a grotto filled with thousands of dollars worth of vintage gaming gear. He pointed out an original 1974 Odyssey system in one corner, then a PS3 signed by famous Japanese video game designer Hideo Kojima in another, waving his finger at relics from decades of history in between.
The place is a museum. Sure, you've got all your used XBox 360 and PS3 games behind the counter, but most of the store is packed with functional fossils perfect for nostalgic gamers. "There is something for everybody. There's something that costs $1,000, and something that costs $3," Giulio said, explaining that his clientele is made up of collectors, tourists, gamers, and even little kids who spend hours at the store looking for something worthy of their $10 allowance. But he also told me there are things he would never sell: secure in the safe is an original gray 'Nintendo World Championships' cartridge from 1990 that's valued at around $11,500.
Giulio, who grew up in Noventa Padovana, a small city near Padua, Italy, loved playing Space Invaders and Galaga at the arcade as a kid (but not Pac-Man, he insisted). He was a "decently famous" fashion photographer in Spain and around Europe before moving to New York where eventually his girlfriend convinced him to invest in a used video game store in 2004. Initially, he and a friend ran St. Marks Games on St. Marks Place, but it moved to 6th St. in 2006 after their landlord lost the building in a lawsuit. Now, as the sole owner, he's taking the business in a different direction — "People can learn, and people can see, and people can touch. That's how it started as a museum."
Chris Scott, one of the Co-owners of 8-Bit & Up, had a different experience with games growing up. He told me that one of his first memories of video gaming is sitting on his mom's lap at three years old, playing Super Mario Bros. on the family's NES. Ever since, he's always had a console at home: "My progression went SNES, Genesis, TurboGrafx, N64, Playstation, Dreamcast, PS2, and now I'm just going back to recollect every single one of them." Now, he plays Street Fighter professionally, freelances for IGN, and runs Chocolate Lemon while taking care of business at 8-Bit.
With the help of the in-store 8-Bit Dojo tournaments that Chris started when he came onboard, they've managed to build a tight-knit community of gamers and enthusiasts. "Our goal is not so much to be a store, but to be a place where people can come and hang out," he explained, "We try to give people the same chances that, you know, I got. We want to give back." The back section of the store is lined with arcade cabinets and consoles hooked up to HDTVs where customers can show off their deadly combos or test out a game before purchasing. The rest of the store is filled with consoles, controllers, cartridges, and all kinds of odds and ends arranged into crates, stacked on shelves or hanging off the ceiling. It looks like a nuclear bunker for people who live only for video games.
"We meet new people everyday who share the same passions," Chris said, "And you can see it in their eyes. We get a lot of socially awkward people in here, and they won't talk to each other out on the street but now when we're in here they're having conversations, they're more engaged. And it's good!" He described how patrons become more than customers, and become part of the store. Pointing to some video game characters made out of Perler Beads dangling from a beam, he explained that they only started selling them when an 8-Bit regular asked about them during a movie night at the store. And the courtesy goes both ways. "I've had a couple people thank me for doing the Dojo," he added, "I get Christmas cards from these guys!"
So what about that other used games seller? The one with 222 locations throughout NYC: Gamestop. Now, Gamestop's likely not getting any Christmas cards from anyone, and certainly not from the video game publishers who don't see a dime of the profits they make from reselling their used products. Even the console developers are reacting. Sony just filed a patent on technology that would let them block used games from working on their upcoming platform, and Microsoft is also rumored to be taking similar steps. With all the hate, the era of used games just might end with the next generation of consoles.
The way Chris sees it, all the nuance and originality of video games are being slowly drained. "I just think, with the way the industry is going, we're just going to see franchise after franchise," he lamented, "We'll probably see 'Assassin's Creed' up until maybe… I'll say the Civil War or Vietnam War." Giulio, being pretty damn old-school, is not a fan of the cinematic style all the big titles spend millions on. Pointing to the rack of XBox 360 titles on the wall, he said, "This is the fast-food of video games". He's not even sympathetic towards the publishers going out of business. "The video game business now is a losing-money business. THQ went out of business, and Ubisoft bought them. Atari went to hell," he said, "It's not sad. It's fair. Because it's so bad what they do. Sony and Microsoft, they are the problems too. It's really terrible."
Giulio added, "Trust me, we're very close to a crash of the video games business. This is going to be a wipeout very soon. The $60 games are going to be a wipeout." But he took his prophecies beyond the crash of $60 corruption. "The trend is that they're going to go digital. Then they're going to die. Their arrogance tells them that, even if you go digital, you're going to buy a PS5, or PS6 – but there's no point. Just buy a computer and that's it. They are really shooting themselves in the feet. They had a model that was working, and they can't find a way to fix it."
Chris' outlook, on the other hand, isn't as bleak. "The way the infrastructure is being built, there's going to be a lot of digital distribution. And it's a lot more practical to be honest with you, because more and more people are going to get higher speeds than just broadband. So companies are going to say, 'You know, why don't we just deliver directly to your console,' and there's no overhead!"
The business model of the entire industry is changing up, and the transition is going to be turbulent for everyone in the market. We're talking about a dicey future for used games, the mass standardization of lifeless franchises, and a complete digital revolution somewhere on the horizon. Retro gaming stores selling used games will be around as long as people demand a slice of history, but you just can't fill the shelves with things you can't touch.
How long is it going to take for them to go completely digital? Giulio offered this forecast, "It's going to take at least a couple of other systems, so probably another 15 years."
Before then, though, when you can no longer hold a new game in your hand and lend it to a friend or sell it to a store, what's ahead for the retro gamers? Or the mom 'n' pop curators of retro gaming history? When I asked Chris what the 8-Bit team is looking forward to, he said, "Just getting through this year. If we can get through this year, I think we'll be good. Honestly, the economy has been trash. It's good in some cases, but no one's really buying, people are holding onto their money because everyone is losing their jobs. No one's really buying buying, you know."
Insert coin(s) to continue.

I ended up getting private add-on insurance, for about the same money I pay here (Seattle area) for a no-copay no-deductible no-nothing PPO plan.

Oh, and you may not have heard what Germans and Austrians said about the healthcare on offer when I worked there -- "too little to live, too much to die." Sort of like EMTALA-mandated ER care, methinks ....

As my latest example I offer not the Post Office but the Department of Education, and all the efficiencies their single-payor system has brought to the American Educational System. There's no dynamism in that system, it is expensive and wasteful beyond belief, it is NOT producing a better end product than even 10 years ago. Finally, if you run into conflict with the system you lump it. The system always wins, the system exists for the system, not for its constituents.

And that's the best we could hope for with Single Payor.

To be honest, I couldn't like the first video that much. It didn't catch me in an special way.
I mean it had no creation. All I saw was new lessons on using drugs! Consequently, I hope for a better video this time!

It is unlikely SOD will print any letter that bashes an actor/actress, producer or headwriter. Try to be reasonable and respectful with your criticism, but don't be afraid to express your point of view about the show and its storylines.
If the comment line inboxes are full, wait until they're emptied and call back later.
The PR team at Days wants us to let everyone know they check this board daily and they report our feedback to producers. They also check the comment line, so make sure to call it often and leave your feedback about the show!

I just know someone on this board will want to snap up this gem. If you contribute $4,500 to Freddie's Kickstarter campaign for his Addicts Anonymous project, you can win a dinner date with Shawn Christian along with a kiss from him! Here are the details.
Or for a mere $3,000, you can have dinner with Freddie and some other unnamed cast members from Days. (I'm guessing some combination of Wally, Judi, Blake, Camila or possibly Eric M.) Two people have opted for this perk with one more available to any fan with a deep pocket.
