RUSH: Joe Biden, the vice president of the United States. Now, we were told last week that Biden was heading up a commission made up of administration officials and cabinet officials on what to do about guns and the increasing proliferation of guns. One of the things that Biden suggested was they're looking at legislation, executive orders, so forth and so on. The Politico, a joyous Politico, I should say, has a story today: "The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control."
This is what Biden told a group of House Democrats yesterday. Only 19? Only 19? We were worried the Second Amendment was in trouble here. "Later this week, Obama will formally announce his proposals to reduce gun violence, which are expected to include renewal of the assault weapons ban," which, look, I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud here, but we already did one of these once, and it didn't matter, folks.
We've had an assault weapons ban before. See, the problem is there really isn't such a thing as an "assault weapon." It's just a creation. It's nothing more than a name that Democrats and people on the left created to gin up anti-gun sentiment among people. But there really is no official classification of "assault weapon." It doesn't exist. What gun isn't an assault weapon? I mean, even if you're shooting skeet you're assaulting the skeet. So the title here is purely a psychological creation. So "renewal of the assault weapons ban, universal background checks and prohibition of high-capacity magazine clips..."
These are just some of the brilliant ideas. "But Biden spent two hours briefing a small group of sympathetic House Democrats on the road ahead in the latest White House outreach to invested groups. The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation, a topic Biden did not address in Monday's meeting." Now, ladies and gentlemen, pardon me for a moment as I take a few minutes here -- a very few precious minutes -- to say something for the low-information voters in the audience. I know you're there, and you know who you are.
I want to talk to you about executive orders. You see, there's a thing in this country. It's called the Constitution, and while presidents and members of Congress and mayors and others run for election every year (or every two years, or every four years, depending), the Constitution is constant. There's not one elected official who has the power to change it. There is a way to amend the Constitution, and the Constitution spells out the procedures that must be taken to change it. Presidents cannot. Now, I know this is gonna shock many of you in the low-information community.
Many of you believe... This is what you've been taught. This is what you have been educated with, and many of you have been taught to actually support this kind of presidential power, that a president, if he doesn't like something, can just "fix" it. But there is no such power granted to the president by the Constitution, and executive orders are not a way for the president to get around the Constitution. Executive orders were not established for that purpose. Executive orders are to take care of emergencies during times when Congress is not in session.
That's one of many examples for their usage, but the executive order does not contain the power to violate the Constitution. The executive order does not give the president the authority to say, "I don't like the Second Amendment, and I'm going to write a law that supersedes it." No president has ever had that power. No president today has that power. Barack Obama doesn't have it. If he acts in such a way, he is in violation of the Constitution. The Constitution is what holds this country together. The Constitution is what defines this country.
There isn't enough knowledge, nor is there enough respect, for the Constitution in our country today, which is why I'm trying to help a little bit here. Nineteen executive orders to deal with something they are not permitted to deal with, in a way they're not permitted to do it. But if nobody is willing to stand up and oppose the president and this usurpation of power -- which does not exist and which he does not have -- then, of course, he will get away with it. But I just want you to know this. I want those of you in the low-information voter community to know that executive orders do not exist so that the president can break the law. They do not exist so the president can change the law. That is not why they exist.
Executive orders do not grant authoritarian, dictatorial power.
The founders of this country never intended the chief executive to have anywhere near that kind of power, and I just want you to understand and know this.
I also want you low-information voters to know that I would never lie to you.
RUSH: Once again, ladies and gentlemen, I'll read from this joyous Politico story on the White House looking at 19 executive order actions on guns. It's Reid Epstein doing the story. The Politico says, "The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation, a topic Biden did not address in Monday's meeting." What this means is, this is a tantamount admission that this administration cannot muster the votes to legally create new legislation on guns.
You see, the laws of this country... Again, pardon me for a second as I address the low-information voter community. The laws in this country are written in Congress. That would be the Senate and the House. The president does not write laws. The president does not make law. Well, he's not supposed to. Judges are not supposed to make laws. Judges are not supposed to create laws. That's only supposed to happen in Congress. When Congress refuses to vote for a law, then it's dead. What the administration and Biden are admitting here is that they can't legally enact the gun laws that they prefer.
So they're just going to do it unilaterally with the executive order.
Now, I'm not lying to you when I tell you that is not what executive orders permit. It's not why they were created; it's not what they're for. Executive orders do not grant dictatorial power to presidents. They do not grant the power to the president to violate existing law. Executive orders do not grant the power to the president to write new law. The president and his team will be in violation of the Constitution if they do this. Now, there are certain things that can be done with executive orders, but they can't write new law. But if nobody stops them, what's the point?
They can get away with it.
There's always a way to get away with it.
If Congress doesn't oppose what the president does, then it's not a political power struggle. And if the Congress is going to cede to the president the authority to write law, then he'll get away with it. Washington Post: "White House to Announce Gun Plans Today." They're all excited, too. Their tongues are on the floor. "President Obama will unveil a sweeping set of gun-control proposals at midday Wednesday, including an assault weapons ban, universal background checks and limits on the number of bullets magazines can hold..." These are not plans; these are what they intend to do with executive orders.
They may go to Congress try to get some of this stuff passed.
But if they fail -- legally, constitutionally -- it is over at that point.

Judy's Bumble Bars
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
My mom tried a Bumble bar when in Idaho and recreated the recipe. This is her basic recipe which is great. I have tried dried fruit with the basic recipe for a wonderful taste. Note: Since I got this recipe I have not been able to find evaporated cane syrup. My mom's solution was to dissolve pure cane sugar and cook it down a little to make it thicker. I just use corn syrup.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups sesame seeds
- 3⁄4 cup almond meal
- 1⁄2 cup flax seed (golden flax is preferred)
- 1⁄2 cup macadamia nuts (finely chopped)
- 1⁄4 cup cashews (finely chopped)
- 1⁄2 cup brown rice syrup (or corn syrup)
- 2 tablespoons evaporated cane syrup (or corn syrup)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and press into a well oiled 9 X 13 pan (I use olive oil spray).
- Bake for 20 minutes at 300 degrees.
- Cut in to bars while hot (it's so much easier than trying to cut when cool!).
Most Helpful
Even better than the store bought ones, super easy to make and can customize nuts and sugar content. Don't bake too long or they will end up crunchy, however they are amazing as crunchy bars too. You can't go wrong. I used brazil nuts instead of macadamias. Easy to find plain or maple agave and organic light corn syrup from health food stores. Don't be shy with the vanilla and salt, it brings all the favors out.
Wow, I am very happy, only wish I had discovered this years ago... we love Bumble Bars! I could not find either of the two recommended sweeteners so used Trader Joe's Organic Maple Agave Syrup Blend - pretty fantastic! I also added some ground sunflower seeds since I was a little short on the sesame seeds. They are in the oven now but having sampled the raw mix, we are expecting great things. Thank you for sharing!
This was a great recipe! I love bumble bars, just not the price. These are about as close as I could come out of my own kitchen. I'm excited to play with the recipe to come up with clones for the other bumble bar flavors, esp the chocolate! A few notes....since most of the nuts I used were roasted and salted, I should have cut the salt in the recipe slightly. Also, I found brown rice syrup in the organic/natural section of the grocery store (it's an organic sweetener). I couldn't find evaporated cane syrup. However, I did have evaporated cane juice crystals on hand, so I just mostly dissolved 2 Tbsp of the crystals in just enough water to make a syrup. Worked perfectly! I also let a friend try out the results and she loved it too, as did my husband and kids. Thanks for the great recipe Judy!

Etta D. Pisano, M.D.Vice President for Medical AffairsDean, College of Medicine
Dear Colleagues:
Leadership Changes
Earlier this week, President Ray Greenberg announced that he will be leaving MUSC to assume an important leadership role with the University of Texas System as their Executive Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs. Ray's many important contributions to MUSC and to South Carolina during his almost fourteen years of service as President cannot be overstated, and he will be greatly missed by all of us here at MUSC. For me personally, it has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Ray over the past three years, and I wish him great success in his new role.
Our Board of Trustees has announced that they intend to launch a national search to identify a permanent successor, and they have wisely selected Provost Mark Sothmann to serve as Interim President. More information about these leadership changes can be found at http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/pr/newscenter/2013/greenberg.html. I have the utmost confidence in Mark's ability to lead MUSC during this time of transition. MUSC has a long tradition of success and excellence, which will continue under our new leadership.
Faculty Bridge Funding Program
A primary goal of the College of Medicine is to support and strengthen research capabilities of our faculty. One mechanism utilized to facilitate this goal is our Bridge Funding Program. The purpose of this program is to support investigators with established clinical or basic research programs during periods when a competitive renewal was not funded. Program details and the application format are available at http://www.musc.edu/com/research/bridgefunding.htm. The application deadline for the current cycle is August 15. Applications may be emailed to Mary McConnell at firstname.lastname@example.com. Faculty with questions about this program should contact Senior Associate Dean for Research Craig Crosson.
Town Hall Meeting for College of Medicine with Provost Mark Sothmann
Provost Mark Sothmann is scheduling town hall meetings with each of the MUSC Colleges during the summer to provide updates on university-wide topics of interest. The town hall meeting for Dr. Sothmann with the College of Medicine has been scheduled for Wednesday, July 17, at 5:00 p.m. in the Drug Discovery Building Auditorium. All members of the College of Medicine are encouraged to attend to hear from Dr. Sothmann and ask him questions.
Congratulations to Dr. Vanessa Diaz
I am pleased to announce that Dr. Vanessa Diaz, Associate Professor in our Department of Family Medicine, has been accepted in the Liberty Fellowship Class of 2015. The Liberty Fellowship recruits diverse, proven leaders with a history of significant community engagement who are successful in their chosen field for this two-year program. Please join me in congratulating Vanessa on her selection for this prestigious program.
Town Hall Meetings
As I've done the past two years, I will elaborate on our accomplishments over the past year and on our plans for the future in my State of the College address, which will be held on Monday, September 9, at 4:00 p.m. As we continue to implement the university-wide funds flow process and as financial pressures continue to challenge our institution, I will also be presenting a Town Hall meeting focused on college financial issues – this will be held on Wednesday, September 18, at 4:00 p.m. More information, including the locations for these meetings, will be forthcoming. I hope all members of the college who are interested will plan to attend these meetings. As always, I look forward to hearing your input and feedback.
Discussion Forums
As a reminder, we have created new electronic discussion platforms focusing on education, research, clinical affairs, and general information from the Dean's Office and the College of Medicine. These forums are intended to serve several purposes. First, they are another way for my office to share important information with faculty, staff, and students. Second, they are meant to encourage discussion about issues within the college and to empower everyone within the college to voice their opinions. These "discussion forums" are intended to be not only channels for messages to be sent out, but channels for YOUR ideas, comments and questions to be heard by college leadership. Your voice matters and we are pleased there is a new way for it to be heard. You can access these forums by using the following links and your net ID and password:
As always....
Let's work together to meet our strategic planning goal - to be in the Top 25 among academic medical centers for reputation, quality, service, efficiency and financial performance by 2015. I look forward to hearing from you - either in person or via email.
Etta D. Pisano, MDVice President for Medical AffairsDean, College of Medicine


text: Testing content The reason to come here is obvious: beautiful, smoky-crusted pizza with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. The genius of this pizza starts with the crust, which is black and crispy on the underside (with pleasant, slightly bitter overtones), but gives way to a wonderfully soft, yeasty interior. Signature toppings like pepperoni and homemade meatballs, keep locals coming back.

Mr VanierA nice upgrade from my old 105 derailleur, more accurate, lighter and precise shifting and always the best price from Merlin .
Dev06Beautiful bit of kit. Smooth changes (on 9 speed) and excellent price.
Mr MacLeodGreat derailleur. Light weight, looks good, shifts are smooth and quick.
MartinPurchased Two of these as they were on such a good offer from Merlin - upgrades for my Winter Bike and my Carbon Tarmac. Had them fitted and tuned they provide silky smooth indexing that I have never experienced before. Thoroughly recommended purchase and seller.
Mr MiddletonFast delivery, best price. Replacement for broken 6600 version. Perfect operation, exactly as you would expect from Ultegra.
sbkalkanAfter my old Tiagra 4600 rear derailleur, Ultegra RD is perfect. The jockey wheels are made from good material and its good that Ultegra RD is not influenced by temperature like Tiagra RD. Thanks Merlin for fast ship and care.
Mr CollinsVery happy with this product. I had smashed up an old Dura Ace 7800 rear mech in a crash and could not afford a new Dura Ace one. Decided to go for the more affordable Ultegra and would say it was a better derailleur than my old one - looks great, super smooth shifting and no problems so far. Highly recommended as a high quality yet affordable alternative to the top end kit.
schleprx7Huge improvement in shifting compared to 105 (5700) even when used with 105 shiftlevers.
Mr gormleyYou know how good this kit is, shimano never fail to deliver
Mr CrowsonUpgrade from 105, shifting far more precise even though I am still using 105 lever, great price and service from Merlin
Mr DonnellyAs usual Shimano have produced a great value piece if kit. Lightweight easy to fit and adjust with super smooth gear change. Top marks and highly recommended.
Mr GarciaEnvio rapido, bien empaquetado. 100% recomendable. el Ultegra es un gran cambio, preciso y suave.
Jon SMuch slicker shifting than the 105 it replaced. Would advise anyone to invest that extra cash & go for the Ultegra over 105
Mr GraingerGreat! Super Crisp Shifting & Looks Great!
Mr NakamuraIt's everything you hear around. Shifts great, and handles up to 28t sprockets with standard or compact chainsets. It is said that it performs as well as Dura-ace, but I haven't ridden one of those to compare.
WIGHTYGreat smooth shifting perfect for 28 tooth sprockets. Upgraded from 105 well pleased !! Delivered next day GREAT SERVICE FROM MERLIN !
Mr caisleyExcellent price, Delivered fast ! This was a replacement mech for an old Dura Ace mech that had seen about 5 years service, it went on the bike easily and immediately made shifting quicker and snappier. Very pleased with it.
Mr TwellThis is a great bit of kit shifting is spot on set up very easy and looks great. It's super lite and would highly recommend it to anyone.
Ms LadislauBeautifull derailleur and faster shifter
Mr BATISTAGreat product, very fast delivery in Brazil
Mr RobertsBest price and fast delivery, will certainly use again...oh,and the mech is pretty good too :0)

Our brokers focus on providing customers with an open line of communication that should help you improve your understanding of the risks and benefits entailed in trading futures and options on futures. Our brokers are able to provide customers with both fundamental and technical analysis, and their focus is on helping you manage risk.
As with every RCM trading account, you have the option of subscribing to complimentary market commentary, online account access as well as a comprehensive suite of commodity trading tools. As your skills and techniques develop, you may want to migrate to a more hands-off approach and consider using broker-assisted services from RCM.
For these clients, we have developed the broker-assisted trading service. Clients can choose from a wide array of trading platforms and enjoy the ability to enter and manage their own orders without giving up access to RCM's inhouse execution desk as a back-up solution.
Your broker will be available to help you place trades, modify existing orders and give you quotes on futures and options markets if needed.
Some clients choose broker-assisted futures trading to defer the risk of order entry onto the trade desk. Our senior brokers can quote, trade and source liquidity for options and options spreads or place complex multi-leg futures and options. As a client, you will always have access to a trading screen, and qualified clients may have direct access to the trading floor.
An alternative investment through an RCM Asset Management managed futures account may be just what you are looking for.
A managed futures account, run by a professional money manager known as a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), offers exposure to a wide array of financial and physical commodity futures markets traded around the world. RCM Asset Management can help you research and choose a CTA that respects your risk management needs. Did you know you can open an account through an IRA?

The fourth-ranked Lady Roadrunners picked up a 95-51 Homecoming victory Feb. 19 over the Moberly Area Community College Lady Greyhounds.
SFCC (23-3, 9-1 in Region XVI) jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead courtesy of pair of layups from sophomore guard Hattie Harris. SFCC stretched the lead to 43-28 with three minutes remaining in the half.

SFCC led 52-29 at halftime. The Lady Roadrunners dominated the glass on both ends of the floor and did a good job attacking the Lady Greyhounds' zone defenses.
"We did an excellent job of rebounding tonight," said Bucher. "We got a lot of offensive rebounds off free throws."
In the second half SFCC grabbed a 60-29 lead with 18 minutes remaining, then cruised to victory.
Harris led four Lady Roadrunners in double figures with 20 points. Sophomore guard/forward Dahlia Booker contributed a double double with 15 points and a team-leading 11 rebounds.

When Warner Bros decided not to fund Rob Thomas's feature film for the now cancelled TV series Veronica Mars, he looked to Kickstarter – and the Kickstarter community responded. Reaching $2 million dollars in less than ten hours, Veronica Mars broke multiple records, gathered the attention of the industry, and had people seriously recondsidering the legitimacy of crowdfunding. Today, the top five projects combined have received over $32 million dollars in funding.

At Acadian Woods Bows, I am dedicated to making the finest true custom traditional bows in the world. I have put 38 years of archery experience and 25 years as a full time bowyer into each and every bow. The end result is a highly specialized custom bow with a unique blend of performance, balance, speed, craftsmanship and unsurpassed beauty to meet the needs of today's most demanding traditional enthusiast.
I currently offer four models of custom bows. These bows include the Carbon Reflex (one-piece recurve), the one piece Treestick (hybrid longbow), and two sleek takedowns: the Carbon Reflex (three-piece recurve) and the three -piece Treestick.
Over the years the design of each bow has been carefully refined to maximize the shooting dynamics and performance for peak efficiency. I have been able to artistically blend a combination of domestic and exotic wood overlays and inlays to achieve a very distinctive and unique look by today's standards. I hand select, cut and grind each individual lamination and use only clear bow tuff fiberglass. Each bow comes with hand rubbed satin finish or optional super high-density gloss finish.
My bows have many hours of extensive handwork invested in them from the hand sculptured tips and the radically ridged grooved shelf to the eye catching multiple feathered overlays and inlays. Each bow is a visible representation of perfection to detail.
The end result is a highly personalized, cosmetically enhanced, true custom bow which has its own distinctive appearance and shooting characteristics.
I personally test each bow for smoothness, quality, craftsmanship and performance. Whether you are a hunter or tournament shooter, I can build you a bow that you will be proud to own.
Your bowyer,
Tim Mullins

Buddy out of All Stars clash
Indigenous All-Stars Captain Lance 'Buddy' Franklin will not be playing in Friday's exhibition match in Alice Springs
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
A minor knee injury will prevent Hawks player and All-Stars Captain Lance Franklin from playing in the Indigenous All-Stars clash against Richmond at Traeger Park this Friday.
Scans performed yesterday on the Hawthorn star-forward showed fluid on the top of his calf after a cyst behind his knee burst on Monday.
The Hawthorn Football Club released a statement this afternoon saying Lance had decided not to take part in Friday's match to allow the site to settle.
Franklin will still be involved in a coaching capacity for the All-Stars team and take part in community activities leading up to the match.
The highly anticipated clash between the All-Stars and Richmond is expected to draw a crowd of thousands from Alice Springs and surrounding Aboriginal communities.
Nearby Titjikala is a 'Hawthorn' community - the local store is painted brown and gold and the community team are the Hawks.
Shire worker Deborah Claude says Titjikala is already empty with residents having travelled to Alice for Friday's game.
"Most of the people here...they really wanted to see Buddy."
"It's a big disappointment," she says.
Another Titjikala resident Philip Wilyuka hasn't left the community yet, and says he's not sure he'll make the trip following the news.
"I wanted to see Buddy and shake his hand and wear his number on my footy jumper," he says.
In Alice Springs, it's the second All Stars disappointment in as many years with an All-Stars / Richmond clash cancelled in 2011 due to localised flooding.

Sears, Kmart: The Color Story
January 24, 2013,
Both Sears and Kmart will focus on color in presenting their spring home merchandise.
By David Gill
The home departments at both Sears and Kmart stores will be awash in color this coming spring.
The two retailers under the Sears Holdings umbrella unveiled their color-centered merchandising program for their home products at an event held at the Bryant Park Hotel in New York City just after Thanksgiving. Under the tag line "the perfect cure for spring fever," the as-yet-untitled campaign will encompass home furnishings ranging from housewares to tabletop, textiles, hard bath accessories, lighting and luggage.
The program will debut in spring with presentations of all of these products in vibrant shades of purple. Typical of these offerings will be a purple slow cooker and coffeemaker under the Bella brand, which is available at Sears stores; bath accessories under the Kardashian Kollection at Sears and the Essential Home brand at Kmart; and decorative pillows under Kmart's Sofia Vergara and Jaclyn Smith brands.
Rick Burbee, divisional vice president of product development at Sears Holdings, said the two chains will launch the program with purple because "purple is very prominent right now. Colors are cyclical, of course, but purple has also become a staple in home."
The program will then evolve into merchandise offered in shades of vivid red and orange. Examples of this grouping include kitchen gadgets under the Sandra by Sandra Lee brand at Kmart; dishes under Sears' Home Essentials and Colormate brands; and bedding, towels and decorative pillows under Kmart's Cannon brand.
From there, the program will change again into merchandise offered in shades of blue and green. In this offering, among other products, will be seen Essential Home-branded bath accessories at Kmart; dishes and tumblers under the Sears Colormate brand; cutlery from Hampton Forge's Tomodachi collection, also at Sears; and outdoor furniture branded as Garden Oasis at Kmart.
Along with the products, both Sears and Kmart will use special signage centered on the colors on display.
Burbee said this program is an entirely new concept for both retail chains. "Color is so compelling," Burbee said. "You're drawn to colors when you shop for your home. Also, it's an easy way for the stores to establish their merchandise in the home area."

The current "five-a-day" recommendation for fruit and vegetable consumption is inadequate, according to a new report.
It proposes that certain drinks and tinned and processed fruit should not form part of the suggested intake, claiming they could decrease life expectancy.
Research from the influential Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health says eating seven or more portions of fresh fruit and veg will give people the best chance of staving off death and ill-health.
Vegetables are said to pack more of a protective punch than fruit, according to the analysis of lifestyle data from 65,000 adults.
Canned peaches
Canned fruit is "not good for health", claim researchers
They tracked recorded deaths from among the sample for an average of seven and a half years.
The authors say a diet rich in fruit and vegetables has been linked to good health, but many of the studies on which this association is based have largely been carried out on people who are already likely to be health-conscious.
And while plenty of fruit and vegetables in the diet are recommended to boost cardiovascular health, the evidence for its impact on warding off cancer has been less clear-cut.
The analysis revealed the higher the intake of fruit and vegetables, the greater the protective effects seemed to be.
Eating at least seven daily portions was linked to a 42% lower risk of death from all causes.
For cancer the risk was lowered by 25%, and for heart disease and strokes by 31%…………

The Cape has become a place that is outrageously expensive to live. The housing situation is out of hand. I purchased a home in Mashpee in 1994 and sold it in 1999 when I relocated. The same home is three times what I initially paid. Most homes have only three bedrooms and no garage. And for that, you will pay in the upper $300s. Good luck getting home owners insurance without paying top dollar. There are no values on the Cape. Even going to the local movie theater is now $8.50 and climbing....
Login to reply to Comments. (Membership is Free)
I am a native Bostonian and we lived on the Cape for some 20 years and then moved for work to Virginia for ten years and are now back and living in Hyannis, Massachusetts which we have been familiar with for years. Frankly, it is an interesting town. From about June to December with the summer tourists and then the Holiday season life is fairly busy. The Summer crowd is really not that bad and mainly encountered by those commuting for a vacation or a get away from areas beyond the Cape...the traffic coming on and off the Cape can be ugly on the weekend...you have been forewarned so plan to come mid-week. The best season is actually from mid-May to the end of June...then the mobs really come in but it can be a festive time and I have never had contention with the tourists trying to get their Cape memories in for the coming Winter.
Housing can be absurd and is overpriced considering the lack of any realy well paid jobs here. Lot of off Cape money and empty second homes abound in the Winter months..status to have a home on the Cape...a reward for slogging it out for 40 years. Their are some good apartments about and the living otherwise is not that expensive as the pace after the summer has ended is a bit funky and quiet and even mysterious. You are about 25 miles out into the Atlantic and it does have affect on your psychic. Some deal with the winter season: (September to May(Spring comes in strong in mid-May not in March or April where it barely shows its face)....with drink and their is a continuous drug problem but the area is not violent and crime is not a big deal...actually mainly very quiet and peaceful for many months.
Boston is but 85 miles away and public transportation gets you to downtown Boston in about and hour and half.
It is a good place to live and it does have a bit of romance and eeriness to it..at times it feels like the 1940s'. As stated work is and has always been pretty lousy here as to opportunity and pay so either bring your money or simply live a low key life..you can still enjoy the beaches even in the winter and the town of Hyannis is a piece of cake to manuever around for many months of the year. The tourists are but chasing their summer time memory to hold them over for the winter so I do not begrudge them.[Comment on this Posting]
no golf in winter - 3/7/2011
It is a falicy that we can golf year round here on cape cod. The fall is nice but the winter is long.Summer starts June 15 and end on Labor day. Summer is to short and the winter drags on with no real spring.[Comment on this Posting]
Cotuit, MA, Cape Cod - 2/15/2011
We have lived in Cotuit for years and find it to be one of our favorite locations for relaxation and creative inspiration. Located on the south side of Cape Cod, the quality of life is excellent and the proximity to shopping and the rest of the cape is perfect.[Comment on this Posting]
Cotuit - 8/13/2010
One of the 7 villages that makes up the Town of Barnstable, Cotuit has retained much of the charm of a Cape Cod gone by the wayside. It's lovely to drive around the village and see the beautiful old Cape Cod homes. The beach is small, but always clean and family friendly. It's a wonderful place to live, but it's not inexpensive. Summers can be trying, but I tell myself that I'm lucky to live in a place where all these peoples want to visit. That works until about mid August. [Comment on this Posting]
Charming - 1/12/2010
Not really. Cape Cod has incredible natural beauty. Having grown up there I can say that some of the population is beautiful as well. For some, this place works. For others, it can really suck. There is a lot of abuse (drugs, alcohol, and probably the associated human abuse that spins off of that). It is an un-real place in that during the summer months the place is inundated with people from all over the world, many of whom are there to escape their reality, party, lose themselves among people they don't really know, act like ass holes and such. In the winter, the place shuts off and the locals begin house party season or they move to other parts of the country to find work. If you own a business, some types of businesses in some towns, I say good luck dealing with the Historic Preservation Maniacs. My whole family lives there and I am moving out to Oregon. I can't subject my kids to the insanity of the place. Too bad, because it really is quite beautiful apart from all the BS.[Comment on this Posting]
housing values - 1/13/2008
There are no starter homes available for young couples in this area. Prices are dropping but, they have a long way to go to afordability.[Comment on this Posting]
Dwindeling middle class is being replaced by the w - 1/17/2007
The Cape has become a place that is outrageously expensive to live. The housing situation is out of hand. I purchased a home in Mashpee in 1994 and sold it in 1999 when I relocated. The same home is three times what I initially paid. Most homes have only three bedrooms and no garage. And for that, you will pay in the upper $300s. Good luck getting home owners insurance without paying top dollar. There are no values on the Cape. Even going to the local movie theater is now $8.50 and climbing....[Comment on this Posting]
Olde Cape Cod is no bargain anymore! - 7/12/2006
Like the song of the 50s and 60s..."If your fond of sand dunes and salty air, quaint little villages here and there, you sure to fall in love with Olde Cape Cod..." The lyrics are still true, lots of very protected sand dunes, quaint little villages (although some are no longer quite so quaint), and yes it is a great place to be...beautiful, picturesque, wonderfully detached from the rest of Massachusetts (except for politics, unfortunately), and still the place I call home. But alas, I can no longer afford to buy a home here...prices have caught up with Boston, Fairfield County, and Metro NYC...Gone are many of the little cottages by the sea, replaced by McMansions with 2-3 car garages, central air, 4 bedrooms or more and 3 or more bathrooms.) For those how bought before 1999 there is plenty of equity as housing prices have skyrocketed with the worst fixer-uppers in Hyannis going for well over $200,000 now.
The employment situation is terrible if you are looking for stable year-round employment with benefits which makes living here more difficult. Due to property values rising, real estate taxes are rising faster! Rents are only slightly less expensive than in Boston, and climbing steadily.
But still it is my dear sweet Olde Cape Cod, and I love it here and would hate to be forced to leave. However there must be somewhere as nice but far less expensive...at least I can dream![Comment on this Posting]

When Christmas comes around, I love to bake American and German-style cookies. I can't think of similarly festive baked goods in France. Confections such as truffles and marrons glacés, yes, cakes such as a "bûche de Noël" (yule log), but no cookies. At least not that I can think of. Furthermore, what I find missing in French Christmas traditions is spices. While I'm not an unconditional fan of cinnamon or ginger year-round, I find no other flavor is as evocative of Christmas.
Above is a box of goodies I put together as a gift. It contains gingerbread, pinwheel cookies, brown sugar cut-out cookies, and "pecanios" or pecan tartlets. (The box was photographed in the snow on our balcony.)
I love to bake and decorate gingerbread. The house smells good of baking and spices. Gingerbread dough is sturdy and the cookies can be formed in intricate patterns for decorations.
This year the girls and I made a large gingerbread house as well as several smaller ones for their immediate consumption, and also some cookies for decorating Christmas trees.
For the large house I used a set of special cookie cutters for the roof, walls and chimney. For the smaller houses, I had a single smaller cookie cutter for the front of the house, and improvised some rectangles for the roof and low walls.
A gingerbread village!
The weather contributed to the seasonal cheer.
I wanted to photograph the cookies with a snow scene in the background but found it difficult to focus on both simultaneously
The box nearly toppled out the window...
A white plate is a good background
A box full of gingerbread, waiting to be decorated. Notice the house cut-out which I used to make the small gingerbread houses
My husband calls this my signature bear
So hard not to touch the houses as they dry!
Recipe: Gingerbread
For making gingerbread houses or cookies
Source: Joy of Cooking (1997)
[I haven't changed the recipe any, but the following is only a an excerpt of the detailed instructions for making a gingerbread house. This makes a lot of dough!]
Whisk together thoroughly:
- 6 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tspn baking powder
- 4 tspn ground ginger
- 4 tspn ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tspn ground cloves or allspice
- 1/2 tspn salt
Beat on medium speed until fluffy and well blended:
- 12 tablespoons (170g) butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
Beat in until well combined:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup dark molasses
[I find the taste too strong, perhaps European molasses are stronger? So I use half honey, half molasses]
- 1 TB water
[Careful, dough can get very sticky. I once forgot the water and it worked better, though the dough was a little harder to roll]
Beat half of the flour mixutre into the molasses mixutre until well blended and smooth. Stir in the remaining flour, then knead the mixture until well blended. If the dough is soft, stir in more flour until it is firmer and more manageable but not at all dry.
Place the dough in a sealable plastic bag or airtight plastic container. Set aside in a cool place, but not the refrigerator, for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours. Or refrigerate the dough for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before using.
[I roll the dough without waiting between two sheets of parchment paper, then thoroughly chill the dough in the fridge or even freezer before cutting it out]
Divide dough in half (I rolled about 600g of dough at a time, if memory serves). Roll the dough directly on parchment paper so that there is no warping when transferring dough to the baking sheet. Roll it to a scant 1/4 of an inch.
[The dough is sticky. I roll it between two sheets of parchment paper, then freeze the whole thing before making my cut-outs. Otherwise it's hard to peel off the parchment paper. For more tips on this rolling technique see an explanation here; and some videos I made here.]
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 11 to 15 minutes for large pieces, 6 to 8 for small pieces. Or until the edges are tinged with brown.
[I like mine quite dark and crunchy.]
These molasses are very dark, but I use only half the amount and complete the rest with honey, making a lighter but very flavorful dough.
Roll and cut the shapes directly on the final parchment paper, then peel off the dough that's in between the cut-outs so that you never move them. This helps the cut-outs keep their shape, which is important if you're building a house.

Saint Honoré
Here is the second part of my recent baking spree, the Saint Honoré (the first part was the Paris-Brest).
Creamy cakes are not usually my favorite, but I make an exception for a good Saint Honoré. The varieties of textures make it special: crispy puff pastry, tender choux, crunchy caramel, velvety crème Chiboust, and fluffy whipped cream.
Crème Chiboust vs. millefeuille cream
The crème Chiboust -- pastry cream lightened with Italian meringue and a touch of gelatin -- is traditional. But the St Honoré can also be filled with what is known as a millefeuille cream, which is pastry cream "lightened" with whipped cream. This is what Pierre Hermé recommends.
Since the first of these two creams seemed lighter (!) than the second, and also more traditional, I chose to deviate from Hermé's recipe and make the Chiboust cream.
However I wilfully disregarded the advice found in all recipes, namely that Chiboust cream must be made at the last minute before filling the cake. I made mine the night before, and stored it in a pastry bag. I don't think this advance preparation was good for the cream's texture, but I couldn't make everything at the last minute, and wanted to assemble the cake on site, to make sure nothing got soggy.
Result: some flaws, but a tasty and striking-looking cake
Though the cream's texture was perhaps not optimal, and the whipped cream became too soft, I would say the final result was very good, and encourages me to try again... some time!
Some process photos
Crème pâtissière (pastry cream)
Italian meringue folded into the pastry cream
I like to use a wide jug to hold the pastry bag while my two hands are free to fill it. Make sure to fold the top of the bag over the top of the jug.
The circle of puff pastry.
Pipe choux pastry around the puff pastry disk, about 1cm from the edge, and then make a thin, slightly squashed down spiral in the center of the cake.
The spiral in the center gives the cake structure and lightness; it will support the cream that will be piped in later.
The choux are smaller than usual, piped to about 2cm wide
Fill them with cream and scrape off any cream that sticks out. (This part I did a couple hours ahead of time, and the choux pastry didn't get too soggy).
The tops of the small choux are dipped in the caramel, and left to harden, caramel-side down on a silpat or parchment liner.
The outside choux pastry ring gets filled with cream at regular intervals.
The bottoms of the choux are then dipped in caramel and attached to the base, touching each other and forming walls for the cream filling to be piped in later.
I practiced at home how to use my Saint Honoré piping tip, results shown with arrows. I found out the slit has to be on top, but there is nothing difficult about piping with this tip. At this stage my whipped cream still seemed firm enough to hold its shape.
However I was concerned about the cake getting soggy if I filled it too early, so I assembled the rest of the cake on site. I transported the Chiboust and whipped creams in their piping bags to our friends' house, refrigerated them there, and filled the cake just before serving.
After filling the cake with what little Chiboust I had left, and piping the whipped cream on top, I had about 2.5 seconds to snap some shots before the cake got whisked to the dinner table.
The whipped cream looks too soft. It doesn't have the crisp criss-cross pattern I was hoping for. The cream may not have liked being transported in a piping bag to our friends' house, or else there is a skill to making a good stiff whipped cream that I don't know about.
The cake looks best when modelled by Jess and Vicky!
Yikes, a pastry school test for bakers?
The day before I started baking, I realized I may have gotten myself in too deep when I read on Tartelette that the Saint-Honoré cake is used for testing bakers' skills:
"It is the "must pass" element of pastry school students and it is a cake that includes several elements and techniques that bakers should try at least once: puff pastry, cream puff dough, caramel and pastry filling."
While I feel pretty happy about my St Honoré hardware skills (puff pastry, pâte à choux, and using caramel as cement), I would never pass the software part of the test: crème Chiboust, crème Chantilly. Add to that my recent difficulties with buttercream, not to mention that my ganache often separates, and I see I still have a lot to learn about all things creamy!
Other sources of inspiration
Finally, you can find many other delicious-looking St Honorés by running a search on "Daring Bakers St Honoré."
Recipe: Gateau Saint-Honoré
From Pierre Hermé, Secrets Gourmands (loosely translated)
For 6 people
- 300g choux pastry [this quantity may not be sufficient I found]
- 150g puff pastry
- 350g mille-feuille cream [I used chiboust cream, see both recipes below. Again, make more than this quantity, I didn't feel I had quite enough.]
- 250g sugar
- 60g glucose
[I think this prevents crystallization, and perhaps makes the caramel less hard. If you don't have glucose, you can try corn syrup, I think the result should be similar but can't vouch for it.]
- 80g water
- 250g whipped cream (crème chantilly, or cream whipped stiff with a small amount of sugar)
Roll the puff pastry to 2mm thick. Cut out a 22cm circle. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper that has been moistened with water. [Prick with a fork and chill while you prepare the choux pastry.]
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Place the choux pastry in a piping bag with a French size 9 or 10 tip [about 12mm in diameter]. Form a crown about 1cm from the edge of the circle. Then pipe a loose spiral inside the crown, which will serve to support the cream that will be piped in later. The spiral should be piped thinner than the crown, so press down on your piping bag. Dust the puff pastry with sugar.
On a second baking sheet lined with parchment paper, using the rest of the choux dough make 24 small choux, each about 2cm wide [these are significantly smaller than a typical choux or chouquette or profiterole]. Place both baking sheets in the oven.
You'll be baking the cake base about 25 minutes, and the choux about 18 minutes. After about 6 minutes, open the door of the oven a crack and block it with a wooden spoon, so the steam can escape. Using a small piping tip (French size 5), make small holes every two centimeters in the crown, and into the bottom of each chou. Let the base and the choux cool completely.
Place the millefeuille cream in a pastry bag with a French size 7 tip. Poke the tip into the holes you have made in the crown and squeeze in the cream by pressing hard. Proceed the same way for the choux. Wipe off any excess cream.
In a saucepan, mix the glucose, the sugar and the water. Cook until 155°C [if I remember correctly, this seemed barely golden to me, I cooked the caramel longer to have a darker amber.] Place the bottom of the saucepan in cold water to stop the caramel from getting any darker. Dip the tops of the choux into the caramel and place them, top down, on parchment paper or on a Silpat liner. The dip the other side (bottom) of the choux in caramel and immediately attach them to the ring of pastry. You want to try to get some caramel on the sides of each chou so they stick to each other as you place them contiguously on the crown. Let them cool off.
Fill the center of the cake with the remaining mille-feuille cream, then pipe the whipped cream in a zigzag using either a St Honoré tip or a large star tip. Serve the St Honoré as soon as possible.
Recipe: Mille-feuille cream
From Pierre Hermé, Secrets Gourmands (loosely translated)
[This is the cream Hermé uses in a St Honoré]
- 750g pastry cream
- 1.5 dl [about 150g] very cold whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
Chill a large bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes. Whip the cream in the chilled bowl until it is firm. Add the sugar. Fold this whipped cream into the pastry cream.
Recipe: Chiboust cream
[OK to be honest I don't remember which recipe I used for Chiboust cream, as I looked at so many! But the following seems very good.]
Source: Tartelette
Saint Honore Cream (Rapid Chiboust or Diplomat Cream)
1 envelope unflavored gelatin (7 gr.)
1/4 cup cold water (60 ml)
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar (130 gr)
½ cup all-purpose flour (70 gr)
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 egg yolks
2 cups whole milk (500ml)
1 Tb. rum [I left out the rhum]
¼ cup whipping cream (57 gr)
3 egg whitesdash of salt
1/2 cup sugar (105 gr)
Soak the gelatin in the 1/4 cup of cold water.
Put the sugar, flour, and salt into a saucepan and stir together with a whisk. Add the yolks and enough milk to make a paste. Whisk in the remainder of the milk. Place over low heat and stirring constantly, cook until thick. Remove from heat and stir in the rum and the gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.Stir in the whipping cream. Set the mixing bowl in cold water and stir until the cream is cool. Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and using clean beaters, whip them with the dash of salt. As soon as the whites begin to stiffen, gradually add the 1/2 cup of sugar and beat until they are very stiff. Fold the egg whites into the cooled cream.

Robin McKelle: Songbird On The Wing
All About Jazz: Both of your CDs have been recorded with a big band. Why did you choose this?
Robin McKelle: Well, the first album we did with the big band because of the producer that I was working with. He had this love of big bands; he really wanted to do a project with it. So when we met each otherI met him in L.A.he said, "Here's what I want to do. Do you want to record?" And I was saying, "No, I'm not ready." So when I was actually finally readywhich was four years later after I had met him originallywe reconnected and we just went with the same idea. It's extremely expensive, but it was something we could do because of the resources he had in the people he was working with in L.A. So we kind of came to an idea together of the concept of the first album. And the follow-up album, Modern AntiqueI had quite a bit of success with the first album and a lot of success over in Europe. And I was starting to do a lot of touring and having my fan base growing. It was something different. And a lot of times I heard it's great because there are trios and even smaller pieces. It's just more affordable. And not only that, artistically, it's just a completely different thing. So it was kind of like the follow-up to Introducing Robin McKelle, and I really felt like it was the right thing to doanother big band album but with just a little bit of a different flair, a little different touch to it. It still has some of the swing to it that a lot of the people really love and I love as well. But I kind of got a chance to go into more of a bluesy approach.
AAJ: Torchy type.
RM: Yes, which I really love. So it kind of used the big band in some of the same ways but some different ways as well. So it kind of gives a little bit of a different side to it.
AAJ: Basically, what you're doing is situating yourself in the '40s and '50s, where vocalists used to record with big bands.
RM: Yes, everybody did. And, as long as the arrangements are really great and the players are great, it can be a great experience.
AAJ: Chris Connorwho was originally a band singersailed over the band, and that's exactly what you do. You're not overwhelmed by the band. You're still out in front and the band is right behind you; you are not a "band singer."
RM: Well, thank you. I love her and I love her voice and she's got such a great timbre to her voicethe sound and the raspiness of it. It is hardthe big band. It's a very powerful sound and there's a lot of sound and you can't be a competition, but you do have to have a bigger voice to do the big band thing, because otherwise you're going to get overwhelmed. It is a different style of singing and I do find that I love it. But there are other times when I'm on tour and I just travel with a trio.
AAJ: Although you've recorded with the big band and you're performing that way, you're certainly not going to travel with a big bandit's not feasible any more. What do you have to do to tone down your approach when working with a smaller group?
RM: I approach it differently, usually. For some of the songs, we'll do similar arrangements, but because the instrumentation is different, the singing style is a bit different as well. It's toned down for sure. I'm not out there reallyless crooning, I would say, and more freedom of interpretation. And there's much more interaction with the other musicians. When I'm playing with my trio, we do different arrangements of the tunes that are on the albums. We'll do kind of a fusionsomething that sounds familiar from the album, but in a way that works with a trio. You cannot recreate the sound with a trio.
AAJ: No, it's impossible. When you've got a blasting brass section, you cannot do it with a trio.
RM: Right. And actually, now I have a couple of forms. I have a group now with three hornstrumpet, trombone and saxophoneand sometimes we have done some of the bigger concerts, festivals and shows. It's really fun as well, because it gives the elements and the sound of the horns, but it's more open because it's kept to three horns. So it's just a different approach. With the trio thing, too, when I'm touring a lot I try to change it up a little bit every night. I don't want to go out and do the same thing. We might do the same song and change the tempo or change the feel sometimes. You've got to do those things. That's the thing about jazz.
